Great British Buildings: Restoration of the Year
(Channel 4, 8pm-9pm) As the host of Grand Designs, Kevin McCloud knows a thing or two about the work involved in restoring a historic building. So he’s the perfect person to co-present this new series which showcases some of the treasured buildings that have been brought back from the brink thanks to the dedication and craft skills of those involved. All of the projects have been placed on the long list by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) for their Restoration of the Year award, and in this opening edition, Kevin and Dr Anna Keay check out some of the contenders, including a watermill in Cambridgeshire.
