The setting for the Grand Design in the first of this new series is so gorgeous, you'll want to sit on the floor, weeping, as you bang your fists against the TV screen, yelling, "It's not fair, it's not fair." Well, that's what I did. A nasty part of me hoped that I'd hate the very wealthy couple who'd bought this piece of heaven - a disused trout farm complete with loch in the middle of nowhere, yet less than an hour's drive from Glasgow. But Jim and Simone are charming. Curses! Oh well, there's still much enjoyment to be had, simmering in envy as we watch the couple build their stupendously lovely home in this completely deserted spot. There aren't even too many of those typical Grand Designs almost-disasters to keep us on our seat-edges while we hope (actually, this is probably just me) that the whole thing turns to disaster. The lovely Kevin McCloud can't mask his admiration for the plans of the perfectionist couple as they strive, whatever the cost, to build the house of their dreams.
