Episode 8

In this heritage special the DIY expert is in Dorset, helping a family who want to create two dream kitchens, one ancient and one modern, in their 500-year-old Tudor manor house. An old 1970s kitchen has been ripped out, and Giles wants to return the room back to its original state as a Tudor kitchen, complete with a restored huge arched fireplace, bread oven and an iron spit for roasting over an open fire. When choosing the style of the second, modern kitchen, Giles is keen to be sympathetic to the period property, hoping the brand new kitchen blends into this home steeped in history without ruining its period charm.
