THE GREAT BRITISH SEWING BEE

BBC1, 9pm

-

There is horror on the faces of the sewers in Sports Week when Patrick and Esme ask them to make high-top trainers.

Time to put their best foot forward, getting stuck in to unfamiliar techniques.

Host Sara Pascoe, above, is also troubled. She says: “I find all this a bit triggering because my husband has over 200 pairs of trainers.”

The sewers then need to be on the ball in the Transforma­tion Challenge, with just 90 minutes to change old netball kits into a garment to wear off the court.

For the Made to Measure Challenge they have to fit a jacket inspired by their sporting hero. As well as checking on a sleek fit and finish, the judges also want the hero’s personalit­y to shine through.

Emma Willis and Nick Grimshaw continue to overhaul people’s lives, with the help of interior designer Alex Dauley, craftsman Tim Hitchens and the family themselves, showing just how simple it is to radically change your home for the better through smart, accessible design.

This time they’re in Edinburgh to help artist Jade and musician Joe, pictured, get to grips with small-space living in their two-bedroom flat.

The plan is to solve ‘domestic stress spots’ with some clever design tricks.

Where once was a territoria­l battlegrou­nd for space and a cluttered living room, there will now be a harmonious living space – as long as the couple themselves can get on board.
