Kirstie and Phil look back at Nikki and Bash's hectic Hall Green home that wasn't fit for purpose, and Julie and Allen's awkward abode in Stoke, where Kirstie literally ripped up her own original plan.

The dynamic-duo look back on past builds that used walls in interesting ways, moving one wall in a flat in Newtownards created a solution for Brian and Amy's storage issues and in Wapping, Kirstie pitched a plan to enlarge a small kitchen and create a whole new room without the need for an extension.

Kirstie and Phil look back on lousy layouts, from a humdrum home in Bradford, to Sue and Richard’s troublesome two-storey in Nottinghamshire.

Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer look back at two renovations where one couple recalibrated their build and budget to accommodate rising costs, while another dramatically altered plans when a huge curveball threatened the land that their home is on. In Nottingham, Lexie and Ed were struggling to fit their growing family into a four-bedroom property. Kirstie came up with a cunning plan to convince Ed over to Team Love It, but compromises had to be made to ensure they didn't overspend. Meanwhile, Phil had £450,000 and three stunning properties up his sleeve, but were they enough to sway Lexie? In Scotland, Heather and Tim's seven-acre property in Lothianburn, south of Edinburgh, lent itself to their lifestyle, but the dysfunctional layout didn't, and Tim was ready to list it. Kirstie dealt with a monumental surprise that threatened to derail her build and dramatically alter her plans, while Phil had a long and tricky shopping list for his search, including a bath with a view.
