The Great Interior Design Challenge: Victorian - Salford

Architectural historian Tom Dyckhoff presents the series searching for untapped interior design talent, judged by interior designers Sophie Robinson and Daniel Hopwood. In the second of eight heats, three more designers battle it out for a place in the quarter-final, this time taking on three knocked-through sitting rooms in neighbouring homes in a terrace in Salford. Tom discovers the history of the homes and the workers they were built for, as judges Sophie and Daniel decide who has the winning design. 65-year-old housewife Susan is hoping her paint effects will win favour, while financial lawyer Nigel is banking on some funky wall transfers. Meanwhile, mum Lynne faces hard work persuading the homeowner that her ideas will work. With upcycling challenges and schemes to pull together, the designers have got to convince everyone that they have what it takes to be an interior designer and go through to the quarter-finals
