Kevin McCloud lifts lid on Channel 4 bosses' brutal reaction to Grand Designs


Grand Designs star Kevin McCloud has seen it all over the past 30 years of the show - but it turns out that Channel 4 bosses weren't always convinced by the presenter..

The latest series promises more innovative and breath-taking builds, including one later this year that will showcase homeowners pushing the limits to create truly unique dwellings. "It's like a spaceship, it's a building that responds to the universe" Kevin enthuses, "The wind blows at the side of it and pushes it around, the tide lifts it out of the mud and back down again twice a day - they're driven by the sun and the moon." Having spent much time in a humble 1930s semi-detached in North London, she collaborates with a young architect named James, hoping to shape a new dwelling place.
