Amazing Spaces: Shed of the Year

This year's Shed Olympics kicks off with the glorious Cabins and Summerhouses category - including a mushroom-shaped shed and the #Girlshed, which is a festival of pink and turquoise, in the style of an LA pool pad. Each shed is hoping to win the public vote and book their place in the grand final. After last years' online storm, a brand new category has been created - called Not a Shed? This category celebrates some of the 75 different varieties of shed out there and embodies the boundary-pushing passion and ingenuity that Shed of the Year is all about.

Round 2 sees George and the judges turn their attention to 'Pubs and Entertainment' and 'Unexpected' Sheds. 'Pubs and Entertainment' is the only place on earth you'll see a West Country whisky den, go head-to-head with an immaculate reproduction of Doctor Who's Tardis. In the 'Unexpected Category', there's a life-saving hedgehog rescue centre, competing with a potentially soul-saving shed, which is also the smallest cathedral in the UK.

George Clarke presents the entries in the Historic and Workshops and Studios categories. Among the finalists in these areas are a shed where a bestselling trilogy of novels were written and a build in Wales used for making prosthetic limbs for children around the world.

George Clarke presides over the final categories, for eco-friendly and budget sheds. Candidates include a stargazing hut in the Scottish highlands, a replica of a Hobbit hole from The Lord of the Rings, a shed built entirely from discarded materials, and a family home that cost just £1000. The judges will then decide which of the eight finalists is this year's winner. Last in the series.
