Architectural historian Tom Dyckhoff presents the series searching for untapped interior design talent, judged by interior designers Sophie Robinson and Daniel Hopwood.
In the first heat, amateur designers Scott, Fiona and Francesca take on three living rooms belonging to one family in neighbouring 17th-century cottages in the Cotswolds. Accustomed to working to precision, oil rig draughtsman Scott struggles with the uneven 300-year-old walls to deliver his modern design, while young mum Francesca must find a way to display her homeowner's treasured heirlooms, in keeping with her shabby chic scheme. College lecturer Fiona shows off her skills when she reupholsters a coffee table in her industrial themed room, but will it be enough to impress the judges?
All three rooms throw up a different set of challenges for the designers, but only one can make it through to the second round.
