Product Description
The 7th series of Grand Designs features seven couples bravely embarking on the adventure of a lifetime - building their own homes. There are wrangles with planners and contractors, money runs out, nerves are tested and there is the ubiquitous battle with the elements. Presenter Kevin McCloud is there through it all, to offer words of encouragement and wisdom, and raise the occasional eyebrow… This new series features seven unique and extraordinary builds including a shiny contemporary mansion, a Victorian folly and an eco home constructed from car tyres. Episodes include: Somerset: the apprentice Store, Newport: folly, Weald of Kent: arched eco house, Brittany: groundhouse, Marlborough: 21st century farmhouse, Headcorn: modular house, Brighton: ultra contemporary mansion.

I wouldn't say this is the best in the series but it's still very enjoyable. There are no re-visits on this DVD perhaps because the properties were only finished 2008-2009. This part we especially missed on the unfinished build. All in all a good addition to a collection.

What can I say? They just get better and better. Maybe it is just sharing other people's dreams. Great stuff Kevin, keep it coming

this is another great series of in my view the best housey type programme on tv, lets face it there seem to be hundreds of them, in this series there arent any revisits but my favourite from this series has to be the brittany eco house, a house built entirely from car tyres and other reclaimed materials, the building itself was fasinating but the finished house is in my view absolutely beautiful and most of it built with volunteer or slave labour as kevin called it, i also loved the folly the views very fantastic and all though the couple built a completly new and modern extension on to the folly the whole building melded together so well it looked as if it should have been designed that way, and the couple themselves were so sympathetic , returning home to the town of their birth after working away for many many years
all together another great addition to a truly great series, the couples and house builders are just as interesting as the style and type of house they choose to design and build

Grand Entertainment
Being an avid fan of not only the builds but of Kevin's aesthetic opinions and at times tongue in cheek irony, series 7 delivers hours of entertainment.

Great ...
we've only recently got a TV, so have bought earlier ones in the series - the presentation can be a bit standardised, and prone to focusing on issues it tries to make into silly... Read more
