Episode 4

The builders have reached the halfway point in their attempt to construct a Roman Villa. The giant wooden frame has been successfully erected and it's a race to get the roof on before the weather breaks. While foreman Jim supervises this, the other builders head off to explore their artistic sides. Plumber Kevin is in charge of creating the villa's mosaic floor and he comes up with an ingenious way of producing the 200,000 tiny tesserae tiles he needs. Ben and Darren get to grips with making the huge phallus that will be mounted on the villa to bring fertility and good luck. Ben further explores his artistic talents when he and Tim learn how create the fresco wall paintings that will adorn the main reception room and feature a heroic portrayal of the six builders.
