Rise of the transformers

BACK tonight for yet another series is GEORGE CLARKE'S AMAZING SPACES (C4, 9pm). Not to be confused with George Clarke's Remarkable Renovations, George Clarke's Building Home or George Clarke's Never Off The Blinking Telly, it's the one where people transform the unlikeliest things into places they can actually live in.

By that, I mean everything from cars to sheds to shoeboxes to shipping containers.

(Actually, I think that should probably say “horseboxes”, not “shoeboxes”. But it’s still impressive, right?) This is also the series where the people George meets tend to be the most eccentric.

Those he features on his other programmes are ambitious enough, usually doing up some old house they’ve bought by bashing down its walls, ripping out its slime green bathroom etc., but Amazing Spaces meets people like Alex and her partner Doug, who can easily top that.

Alex and Doug plan to live for months in a tiny old Vauxhall Agila, snapped up for £900.
