George Clarke returns to help more people unlock the potential of old houses. He begins with Edwardian family home suffering wall-to-wall 1970s panelling, an indestructible cement staircase and a boxy bathroom shoved into a bay window. He also helps a couple update their Tudor cottage by knocking two rooms together to create an opulent master en suite.

George visits a typical-looking Victorian terrace in Plumstead that has been stripped of all its original interior features. The question is whether the owners should start from scratch or try to reinstate some of the key period elements. The architect also visits a 1900s villa near Liverpool, where access to the main bedroom is through the bathroom. Can he come up with a much more sensible layout?

George's continued renovation mission takes him to Moseley and Wheaton Aston in the West Midlands. He begins with a conversion to unite upstairs and downstairs flats in an Arts and Crafts building, although one of his suggestions leaves the owners speechless. He also visits an 18th-century pub that has fallen victim to some dodgy DIY - and quickly devises a clever plan to make the most of the period features.

A young couple ask George to help make sense of their poorly planned Victorian terrace, which currently means they have to go through the kitchen to get to the only bathroom in the house. They have big ideas, but without a budget to match it will prove to be a challenge. The architect also visits a mother in the Cotswolds who plans to knock together two tiny Grade II listed cottages to create a cosy family home. This will leave her with two kitchens, two sitting rooms and even two staircases. Can George come up with a plan to make the most of this arrangement?
