The Streets
Series Two
Kevin McCloud returns to Graven Hill in Bicester - the UK's largest mass self-build site to witness the trials, setbacks and successes of future residents endeavouring to craft their own, highly individual homes. Kevin will also be witnessing the birth of a new Street in Glasgow with co-presenter Natasha Huq.
The new series of Grand Designs: The Streets will once again capture the spirit of community that these incredible self-build streets engender, as the determination, resilience and ambition of the builders shine through, to create something extraordinary.
