Synopsis
For many the dream of having a bolt hole or a place to escape from their hectic lives can seem unobtainable. Architect George Clarke shows how such big dreams can be achieved in small and affordable places. George delves into the extraordinary world of small builds to meet the highly creative people who are taking tiny, unpromising spaces and creating the most incredible places to live and work and play. There are homes made out of shipping containers, horseboxes, and old buses. Others are building tiny huts or incredible treehouses in the middle of the woods.

- 1. Bus, Horsebox and LooNow viewing2012-10-2345mGeorge meets a couple who have invested their savings to convert a wreck of a bus into a holiday let, sees how an old underground toilet has been turned into an apartment and finds how a horsebox has been given a new lease of life as a holiday home. George's own project of making over a dilapidated caravan gets off to a shaky start as his builder fails to see the potential in a hulk of rusting metal from the 1970s.
- 2. Bolt-hole, Shipping Containers and a Caravan2012-10-3045mGeorge continues his exploration of the world of small builds, meeting a man planning a bolt-hole in the Lake District, and visiting a community in Hackney, London, that lives and works in customised shipping containers. He also travels to a home in nearby Shoreditch where the kitchen has been moved onto the roof, and finds out how an Oxford resident has turned his back garden into a party palace using a caravan.
- 3. Modules, Beach Hut and Gypsy Caravans2012-11-0645mGeorge heads to Scotland to meet Julie and George Nicholson, who take an enormous financial risk and commission local designer Sam Booth to build a truly unforgettable, innovative prototype module holiday home. The stakes are high, as the couple have invested their entire savings of £30,000 on a design that's never been tested before. George also takes a trip to Bournemouth and meets Andrew and Emma Collett, who decided not to spend money on a honeymoon but bought a six foot by six foot beach hut to transform into a multi-function small space that can accommodate up to six guests for lunch. Hungry to find inspiration for his own small space caravan design, George visits Gemma Doyle who has lovingly restored some gypsy caravans back to their former glory. And on his own build, George tries to come up with an ingenious solution that will sleep his family of five in a space barely big enough for one double bed.
- 4. Caravan, Tree Tent and Tube Carriages2012-11-1345mGeorge meets Ruth Tidd, who is attempting to turn an old caravan that was once used as a home for chickens into an ice cream parlour. He also follows the building of the country's first ever tree tent and is lucky enough to get to try it out, as well as getting the chance to visit some very unique offices built from four old tube carriages. Finally, he travels to Barcelona to take a closer look at the tiny studio flat that thinks it's a five room apartment. And on his own caravan build, George designs a sofa that doubles up as a bath.
- 5. Beach Hut, Showman's Carriage and War Vehicle2012-11-2045mGeorge meets a man who drunkenly bought a 1920s showman's carriage on eBay, but quickly sobered up when he saw the poor condition it was in. He visits a holiday home built from an old World War II vehicle and follows the build of Britain's most landlocked beach hut, based in Birmingham. And George faces a major setback with his own project to create an ultra-modern holiday home out of a 1970s caravan, when he discovers the windows he's ordered are actually meant for a boat.
- 6. Barge, Container and Caravan2012-11-2745mGeorge visits a canal boat that's been revamped as the ultimate bachelor pad as he prepares to unveil his deluxe family caravan. Having bought a 1970s caravan for just £300, George and his team have spent months turning it into an extraordinary holiday home for him and his family. And George meets a man whose simple plan of converting a shipping container into a garden office proved anything but.
