Grand Designs viewers have pointed out that the latest episode of the popular show had all the qualities of a disaster. Hailing from Kent, Dorran, 47, and Vereuschka, 50, set out to create an underground home within a Saxon hillfort.

The five-year project is marked by the stunning moment the couple sacks their builders and takes control of the ambitious project themselves.

The high-tech property had the hallmarks of an infamous Grand Designs episode - running over-budget, delays, and a bit of catastrophe.

Many fans, who panned the building process on social media, were nonetheless drawn into the drama. The parents of three drained their savings for a complicated build deemed as "daring, demanding, and difficult" by presenter Kevin McCloud.The project started in the summer of 2017 with an initial budget of £1million.
