Buildings of Importance
This episode looks at listed buildings. Is it possible to extend and adapt listed buildings or are they simply a historic headache?
A very determined couple attempt to turn a Grade 2 star listed building into a beautiful family home. The Crown House in Hastings is an abandoned pub, but if Pete and Janine Rich can get permission for change of use, from commercial to residential, they will take the first step in a quite remarkable transformation. The projected spend is high, but the potential rewards are even higher.
Joel Griggs has sunk all his savings into a most unusual project: he wants to create a crime museum in Hastings. Joel's museum will be located in caves behind a Grade 2 listed facade. He is confident he can make the business a success - but only if he gets planning permission to erect a large sign on the front of his listed building. If all goes to plan, Joel will be turning over an astonishing £80,000 per annum.

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
