Milton Keynes, 2014: The Round House

GP Peter Berkin and his wife Chard, an alternative medicine practitioner, have decided to build a new home at the bottom of their garden. The problem is, right from the start they can't agree on any part of the design - even the basic shape. Peter is a serial hobbyist who, according to his wife, never finishes anything.

Peter aims to spend £400K, Chard wants to keep the budget around £200K. With Peter building as much of the house as he can himself, helped by his mates, and Chard taking control of the money and schedule, it looks like a recipe for disaster.

Even if it ever gets finished, will Chard be willing to live in it?, GP Peter Berkin and his wife Chard, an alternative medicine practitioner, have decided to build a new home at the bottom of their garden.
