The Nineties and Noughties

Reinvention is the key as the series concludes with the era that saw the biggest lifestyle changes of all to the home - the 90s and 00s. BBC Two was making over homes by chucking out the chintz, turning gardens into outside rooms and kitchens into pukka Jamie Oliver zones. But it didn't stop there. Soon there was a craze for decluttering and minimal living linked to the crazed flipping of homes in the mortgage-mad Noughties. Inevitably, a slew of programmes about buying and selling property, homes in the country and living abroad followed. The stars of this new era of makeover television, including Laurence Llewellyn Bowen, Diarmuid Gavin and Charlie Dimmock, are all on hand to try and explain how this bewilderingly fast reinvention of the very idea of home happened - and why it couldn't last. Narrated by Mel Giedroyc.
