TV- What to Watch

I absolutely love telly, and so I'm always looking out for great programmes which have a bit of a vintage twist and some sewing tips! So, here are a few programmes I recommend you watch...
Vintage TV



Firstly, I suggest Kirstie's Handmade Britain on Channel 4 at 8pm on Wednesdays. If you've seen Kirstie's Homemade Homes or Kirstie's Homemade Christmas, you'll be very familiar with Kirstie Allsopp. In this brand-new series, Kirsty explores the art of making things, from cushion covers to decoupaged seagulls. But this time it's not just about 'picking up your needles and knitting, it's about making things that are good enough to win prizes!'

Next up on my 'what to watch' list is Beeny's Restoration Nightmare on Channel 4 at 9pm on Thursdays. If you've seen Property Ladder then you will have heard of Sarah Beeny, usually an advisor to property developers, but in this programme, the tables have turned and she's trying her hand at renovating Rise Hall. This series is the second one she and her husband Graham Swift have done, and after doing-up the main entrance, hallway and a few bedrooms, they rented out the grand building for weddings. But after the council took away their wedding license, they are back to save Rise Hall, get their license again, and renovate a few more of the 97 rooms there!

 Unfortunately, Kirstie's Handmade Britain and Beeny's Restoration Nightmare are halfway through the series, but luckily, you can catch up on any missed episodes on 4oD.
I hope you like my choice of telly programmes!
