In February 2018 I had the privilege of working as the Off Screen Designer on the DIY SOS build in Torquay, which aired last night on BBC1. 

This was not a standard DIY SOS build.  Stuart, a single father, has been suffering with progressive multiple sclerosis for over 15 years and he was living and sleeping in a chair in his living room. His primary carer was his mum, Lin, who has been completely blind since she was in her 20s. Lin would walk from her house to Stuart’s to care for him every day.  Lauren, Stuart’s 15 year old daughter, also lived in the house.
