Grand Designs, 9.00pm, Channel 4
Kevin McCloud (below) follows more of Britain's most ambitious self-building projects, as intrepid individuals attempt to design and construct the home of their dreams.
After 40 years living largely in the southeast of England, artist Sarah is returning to her roots in the northeast with towering ambitions for an exposed, three-acre plot that she's bought at auction in the Durham Dales.
She wants to create a radical home and creative hub combined, including a studio and gallery for displaying and selling art.
With her budget of £330,000, Sarah hopes to build with a super-sustainable yet still relatively unknown and hard-to-predict material - hempcrete.
Left exposed throughout the interior, the hempcrete will provide a dramatic earthy look, but this relies on the building process going perfectly.

Panorama, 9.00pm, BBC One
Undercover in the Police is an hour-long Panorama special that looks fascinating.
Secret filming reveals evidence of racism, misogyny and officers revelling in the use of force at Charing Cross, one of London's busiest police stations.
After the murder of Sarah Everard (above) by a serving police officer, the Metropolitan Police promised change and says that since 2022 more than 1,400 officers have either been dismissed or have resigned following a clamp down on what it calls rogue officers.
Panorama's evidence suggests that a toxic culture still exists inside the Met and that racist and misogynistic attitudes haven't been eliminated, but have been driven underground.
