SOCIAL HOUSING

£1 Houses: Britain’s Cheapest Street, 9pm, Ch4 FILMED over two-and-a-half years, this three-part series follows a scheme offered by Liverpool City Council, in which first-time buyers are offered a house for just £1. The catch? The buildings are derelict, and buyers must spend £40,000 on renovations within a year — or the council will take them back.
