watched this last night and, yeah, the winner seemed to be really nothing special.
liked the one in the scottish highlands, or would've if they'd've just left it as the one long part and not added the two other wings.(wasn't that featured on the short lived show about prefabs that ch4 did, with the presenter who died before the series was finished?)

Kevin enthuses about a bronze light switch that you can toggle with your elbow. but it sticks out about an inch and it's going to catch on everything for years to come.

Love it when Kevin McCloud is like "great architecture can change the world, it can light up our hearts, a home can show us how to love & how to live" at the start of Grand Designs & then the episode is about the cruelest & most delusional man you've ever seen in your entire life— Mike Townsend (@townsendyesmate) January 6, 2024
