Crisis estimates that around 200,000 people are homeless in the UK. Something to think about while George Clarke returns with yet another phalanx of upwardly mobile visionarie­s who just can’t wait to renovate abandoned buildings. The latest series kicks off with Richard and Sarah, who have

bought a Grade II listed bank for £50,000. Richard and

Sarah – who come across as a pair of oblivious middleaged hipsters – convert a massive 19th-century safe into a luxurious pantry. They also melt down a chunky safe door and remould it into a freestandi­ng bath. Clarke, as always, oversees proceeding­s in the manner of a slightly

bemused yet earnest child.
