Grand Designs Revisits

image

Sunday 18 June 7.30pm

Series 20, Episode 1 of 4 North Devon

In 2011 Edward and Hazel set out to build an art deco lighthouse on the North Devon coast. By 2019 they were almost bankrupt, the lighthouse just a rusting shell. Three years on, Kevin is back to see if anything has changed with this disastrous project.

Kevin McCloud returns to North Devon for the highly anticipated lighthouse revisit episode.

Back in 2011, Edward and Hazel set out to build a brand-new art deco lighthouse complex, complete with infinity pool, on an exclusive stretch of North Devon coastline. To create their dream, the couple had already spent £1.4 million on their plot and intended to spend another £1.8 million more on their giant, bright white four-storey lighthouse, all to be complete in 18 months.

But almost immediately their optimistic plan ran into trouble. The lender that had approved their huge £1.8 million loan pulled out and Edward was forced to radically re-think. A smaller second house was built on the side of the plot, the sale of which was meant to finance the main project, but to no avail.
Regardless, their old house on site was demolished and painstaking piling work began on the new lighthouse, instantly eating up their entire £200k contingency.

Consumed by a spiral of borrowing and debt, by the end of 2019 Edward’s great gamble had him on the verge of bankruptcy. His marriage to Hazel was seemingly over, and the lighthouse itself was just an ugly rusting steel and concrete shell.

It was one of the saddest Grand Designs episodes ever.

But now 3 years on, Kevin is back to see if anything has been salvaged from this disastrous project. Have millions been found to finally complete the lighthouse and if so, who might be living there? Full of trepidation, Kevin is in Devon to find out…

Flyways – The Extraordinary Story of Migratory Shorebirds

image

Tuesday 20 June 8.30pm

Flyways tells the story of the world’s most incredible athletes – shorebirds – and documents the pressures placed on these birds by climate change and ever-expanding human development.

These birds travel vast distances during their epic, annual migration, flying from the Southern Hemisphere to the Arctic to breed. Yet new urban developments are threatening the birds as they make their return journey.
How do they navigate such mindboggling distances? How are they able to stay aloft for days without stopping to refuel? Seeking to answer these and other questions, the film revels in the beauty and wonder of migratory shorebirds.

Documenting the pressures placed on these birds from climate change and ever-expanding human development, this film reveals uncomfortable truths but also shows us how to help save these tenacious birds from precipitous declines.

Production credit: A Storyland production for the ABC. Principal production funding from Screen Australia in association with HHMI Tangled Bank Studios.

Four WA filmmaking teams selected to produce short documentaries for ABC Art Works

The factual stories include: an artist who uses his wheelchair as his trusty steed to conquer the modern art world, an 80-year old artist transforming her home into a mosaic masterpiece, the first female Composer in Residence at the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, and a journey into the mind of a world-renowned video artist and animator.

Screenwest and the ABC are pleased to announce four WA filmmaking teams have been selected to each produce a short documentary segment through the ABC Art Works Documentary Initiative, a $10,000 production opportunity designed to offer a broadcast credit to Western Australian filmmakers.

Launched in March 2023, the initiative provides production support for emerging to mid-career Producer and Director teams to each produce and deliver a short 3-8 minute documentary segment profiling the work of a resident Western Australian artist or arts company, for broadcast on ABC and ABC iview as part of ABC’s Art Works series later in 2023.

The factual stories include: an artist who uses his wheelchair as his trusty steed to conquer the modern art world, an 80-year old artist transforming her home into a mosaic masterpiece, the first female Composer in Residence at the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, and a journey into the mind of a world-renowned video artist and animator.

“ABC Factual and Culture is committed to investing in emerging creatives so it’s fantastic to see such rich stories emerging from this initiative. I look forward to bringing these WA stories to the nation’s art loving audiences.” said Richard Huddleston, ABC Acting Head Factual & Culture.

“Congratulations to the filmmaking teams, whose projects are set to uncover and celebrate imaginative, diverse stories from within WA’s arts community. We look forward to seeing these four documentary segments come to life.“ said Paul Williams, Screenwest Documentary Executive.

The four documentary segments will feature on Art Works later in 2023.
