George Clarke’s Remarkable Renovations –
Wednesday, C4, 9pm
The charity organisation
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.
