00:01Welcome to Chateau DIY Win The Dream.
00:04The ultimate renovation showdown.
00:06Whose idea was this?
00:08Come on, Martin.
00:09Take him here, Marie.
00:11Over four thrilling weeks, creativity meets competition.
00:14Looks wicked, doesn't it?
00:15Perfect fit. Oh, my gosh.
00:18As determined duos battle it out to prove.
00:21Yay!
00:21I'm having an absolute nightmare.
00:23They've got the vision, skill and grit to win the ultimate prize.
00:26I haven't got a clue.
00:27I can cry, I can literally cry.
00:30The keys to this breathtaking French property.
00:34Set on the outskirts of a Normandy nature park,
00:37the property boasts six bedrooms, four bathrooms,
00:42two salons, five additional rooms to renovate,
00:46perfectly pruned gardens, stunning outbuildings,
00:49its very own orchard and even a historic bread oven.
00:53There's a lot to play for.
00:54And if we lose, I'll be fuming.
00:57Three heats and a grand finale where only the best will rise.
01:01Oh!
01:02All the pairs have to do is show they have the renovation know-how
01:06to impress me and various guest judges from Chateau DIY.
01:10I think this is really creative.
01:13What a transformation.
01:14In weekly challenges designed to push their creativity and skills to the limit.
01:19The clock is ticking!
01:21Win the week and they secure their spot in the grand finale.
01:24The dream is real, the stakes are high.
01:26This is Chateau DIY Win The Dream.
01:39Welcome to the grand finale of Chateau DIY Win The Dream.
01:45Where our three winning pairs from the heats are back for one last shot at making this life-changing property
01:52their own.
01:54Time for our finalists to meet.
01:58We're back!
02:00Are you excited?
02:01Yeah.
02:01It looks even better the second time, I think.
02:04We can't believe that we're here.
02:06I'm just a ball of nerves, but I'm really, really excited.
02:09I can't wait to get in there again.
02:10Imagine if it was ours. Imagine.
02:12Yeah.
02:13Well, hopefully it will be.
02:14You're excited?
02:16I'm nervous.
02:17So surreal, look at it.
02:18So beautiful as ever.
02:20How are you?
02:21Nice to meet you.
02:22How are you?
02:22Hi.
02:24I'm Josh.
02:25Nice to meet you.
02:25It feels mad to be back.
02:28I think the whole way through this competition we've been saying, like, oh, I can't imagine winning.
02:31It feels out of touching distance, but now it kind of feels like we are.
02:35Yeah, it's crazy.
02:36Have you fallen in love with the Chateau yet?
02:38Definitely, yeah.
02:39Yeah.
02:39Our brains, like, buzzing with what we do with this place.
02:42So, yeah, I feel excited to get going.
02:44Me too.
02:46Wow.
02:46Look at this.
02:47It's looking great, isn't it?
02:49Oh.
02:49Hello.
02:51Hi, guys.
02:51Hello.
02:52Nice to meet you.
02:53It is surreal.
02:55Someone here is actually going to win.
02:57Nice to meet you.
02:58And Josh.
02:59Josh and Josh.
03:00Josh and Josh, yeah.
03:01We're excited.
03:02I think we've got that same pent-up energy when we first came where we want to get going, right?
03:06What did you guys find the most challenging?
03:08I came into this competition like a complete beginner.
03:11Yeah.
03:12So, even navigating the workshop and navigating what tools to pick up for me was a challenge.
03:17I'd say the carpentry, the painting, the decorating, the selling.
03:21Time management.
03:21Time management.
03:22Budget.
03:23Budget.
03:24We got very used to stepping forward.
03:25Oh, no.
03:31Hello, finalists.
03:32Oh.
03:34Hello.
03:35Glad to see you're getting acquainted with each other, but don't get too comfortable,
03:38because they are your competition.
03:42Who's ready to win this chateau?
03:47And meet me downstairs.
03:49I think it's safe to say the competition is going to be harder and more intense.
03:53We're just going to have to really try and not be intimidated by them and just stay true
03:58to what we're doing.
03:59Definitely when we first started, we had that kind of imposter syndrome where we were like,
04:03are we good enough for this?
04:04There's going to be some really good people.
04:05But, you know, winning all the challenges, we're not getting too big headed, but we're
04:08like, maybe we can actually do this.
04:10Maybe we could actually run a chateau if we really want it.
04:11We were going to practice lots of DIY.
04:15But, turns out, when you've got two children, you don't get around to it.
04:19We're so happy we are here, and now we just have to throw everything we've got at this
04:23challenge.
04:23We are going to really try our absolute best.
04:26Hello again.
04:27Hello.
04:28It's like deja vu, isn't it?
04:30Welcome back, everyone, and congratulations on securing your place in the grand finale.
04:37But the hard work doesn't stop here.
04:40To win the keys to this quarter of a million pound prize, you'll have to prove to me that
04:45you deserve to win this chateau.
04:47For this challenge, I want you to use your DIY skills to create a room that demonstrates
04:53your business concept to monetize the chateau should you win it.
04:57The room should include all of the dressings and equipment to run a successful chateau business
05:02and be uniquely you.
05:05Each pair will be given €1200, and you have six days to complete this challenge.
05:11You'll be judged on concept and creativity, functionality, technical skills, and the overall look and finish.
05:19Remember, one pair will be going home after this challenge.
05:23Your briefs and tools are waiting in your rooms.
05:27Your time starts now.
05:29Let's go.
05:31Unlike the heats, there will be no team challenge, as each pair will need to show how they would run
05:36their own successful chateau business.
05:38Good luck, guys.
05:40Good luck, guys.
05:41The teams have been assigned rooms that they haven't previously renovated and which would suit their business concepts.
05:47Okay, so...
05:48It's a good space.
05:49Yeah, it's good.
05:49I think it's big enough.
05:50I think what's really important in this challenge is the studio represents exactly what we want to do with the
05:54business.
05:54Like, it's not about what anyone else is doing.
05:56This is what genuinely what we would do if we were in the chateau.
06:00Dancers Josh and Josh are looking to transform one of the chateau's garages into a fitness and wellbeing studio.
06:07I think for us the thing that's going to kind of like seal the deal in this challenge and win
06:11it for us is like this wall over here.
06:13Because at the moment for me this wall feels very much like a garage.
06:17Yeah.
06:17I want to see like a full transformation of this space with panelling woodwork.
06:21The budget isn't massive.
06:22We always are really ambitious.
06:23We want it to feel luxury.
06:25I think the plans are there.
06:26We just now need to do it.
06:27Yeah, we need to go and source everything, get everything.
06:31Ready to see the room?
06:32A new room.
06:34Oh, wow.
06:35Look at this.
06:36This is amazing.
06:38Really cool.
06:39It's super rustic, which I think is going to lend itself a while to a workshop area.
06:45Keen home renovators Chris and Paloma are hoping to build a functional workshop in one of the attic spaces.
06:51A traditional workshop in here.
06:53It'll look like you were working like a barn back in the day possibly, right?
06:56Yeah, for sure.
06:57It feels very creative.
06:59Yeah.
06:59I love the beams.
07:00The beams we can really work with, right?
07:02Yeah.
07:02I think this room is quite good actually because it's got that little bit of darkness to it.
07:07A little bit of mystery to it.
07:09Downstairs in the other garage space, Zav and Tash will be hosting a murder mystery dining experience
07:14to showcase their flair for events.
07:16We're probably then going to need like a long banquet table.
07:19Big table.
07:19Like a big long banquet table.
07:21And then we're going to have to, if it's murder mystery, have a story.
07:24You can get really nice attention to detail.
07:26Do the dressing up.
07:27You get into character.
07:28There's props throughout the house.
07:30There's all sorts of like cool clues in the room.
07:33Maybe someone falls down the stairs.
07:35Just paint a big body.
07:38No, I don't want it to be really sinister.
07:41The toughest elements we're working with is definitely the breeze block walls.
07:45I think keeping it simple with some paint and using the rest of the pieces to really come together.
07:52Chris and Paloma won the team, individual and event challenge in their heat, so are hoping to continue their winning
07:59streak.
07:59Because it's such a big space and it's really dark, one of my main fears is that it was going
08:04to be too dark for something like a workshop.
08:07You need loads of light to be able to see what you're doing, especially if you're working with tools that
08:11you could hurt yourself with.
08:12So, I wanted to have enough light but do it in quite a quirky way with the old fashioned outfits.
08:22Our plan is to basically cover this whole wall because this wall is giving very large garage and we don't
08:30want this door on show.
08:31So, this is going to be where our mirror's going to go.
08:34So, we're going to remove this skirt in and take this door handle off and, yeah, panel this whole wall.
08:41Some old scaffold boards, which I'm thinking are about the right size for a table.
08:49Yeah.
08:50In the heats, Zav and Tash were praised for their hosting prowess, but concerns were raised about attention to detail
08:57in their DIY.
08:58Something they're hoping to resolve by making bespoke furniture for their dining room.
09:03Maybe we could use another bit to make, like a sideboard.
09:07Like a sideboard.
09:08Because we can put clues on it.
09:09Like a sideboard and a table.
09:11Yeah.
09:12You can do that, aren't you?
09:13Not too much for me to make in like a week.
09:14You can do that.
09:15And then upcycle something.
09:17Right.
09:17And do that as well.
09:18Yeah.
09:18Okay.
09:19I'll just grow another limb then.
09:25We're dying to get paint on the wall and just get started, so I'm excited to get this done.
09:32Whilst proving themselves to be brilliantly creative in the heats, dancers Josh and Josh run into issues with their timing.
09:38So they've hit the ground running on their wellness studio.
09:44It's not just making a room look good.
09:46It's not for the faint heart.
09:47It's also making yourself look good as well.
09:51Josh said we were going to paint this whole room within an hour.
09:54I have no idea how long we've been going, but to be fair, I'm making good progress.
09:59Josh is doing the black on that side.
10:00He's not as quick as me.
10:02We've both got our skills.
10:03Mine is going fast.
10:05I'm dreading you in that ceiling.
10:13So I'm sanding down my scaffold boards from a table.
10:19I'm going to sand it to be the only inch of his life.
10:21This will be smoother than something that's very smooth.
10:25It's going to be smoother than me on date night.
10:32Whoa, you two don't hang about, do you?
10:34Yes.
10:36What's going on?
10:36So our plan for this space is to turn it into sort of a creative wellbeing retreat studio.
10:43Is there anything that you're worried about?
10:44Any potential pitfalls?
10:46We've never actually laid Lino Forum before, but we think we're going to figure it out.
10:50Right.
10:51So clearly dancing and performing are subjects close to your heart.
10:55Is that why you've really leaned into that for the subject?
10:57I think so.
10:58I think dancing has been a part of our lives, you know, for as long as we can remember really.
11:02It kind of like helped us through learning about who we are as people.
11:06Our sexuality.
11:07Coming into a dance studio kind of felt like a safe space in our life.
11:10And at the time when I found dance particularly, I was going through so much.
11:13I lost my dad at the age of 16, so it was kind of a time when I was dealing
11:18with so much trauma and change around me that a dance studio became like a safe space.
11:22So I think the idea of creating that safe space here in the chateau is something that we'd be really
11:27proud to invite people in and go like, this is a safe space for you as well.
11:31Yeah.
11:31What does it mean to your family?
11:32What does it mean to me?
11:34It would mean so much to, yeah, our families.
11:37It would be like a...
11:38Oh, God, I start crying, isn't it?
11:40Um, yeah, it would be life-changing.
11:43Yeah.
11:44Growing up with my mum, she had to sacrifice so much for me, my brother and sister.
11:50And, like, even though she's been through so many hard times, like, she's been like my little rock and my
11:55cheerleader.
11:55And, like, when I set up my business, she was like the one who helped me, like, set it all
11:59up.
12:00And I don't know, she's been, like, probably like rock for us, hasn't she?
12:04Mm-hmm.
12:04Yeah.
12:04She's been through a lot.
12:05It's emotional, isn't it, design?
12:07Yeah.
12:08Oh, you give me goosebumps.
12:09Get on with it.
12:12Oh, God.
12:14Do you like that?
12:15Yeah.
12:24Three pairs have reached the grand finale to win this incredible French property.
12:29For their first challenge, they're creating a space that can house an innovative chateau business.
12:34That's pretty good.
12:36Zav and Tash are planning a murder mystery experience to showcase their event business.
12:41Table.
12:43Paloma and Chris are creating a workshop for artistic pursuits, and Josh and Josh are wellness studio for retreats.
12:49Cool.
12:50Happy with them.
12:50Yeah.
12:51With much to get done, Tash and Chris are hitting the local brocante.
12:56Oh, my gosh, I love these.
12:57Perfect.
13:04One, two, three.
13:05Looking for something impressionist style to go with the traditions of Normandy.
13:10That's nice.
13:11These are quite nice, all this stuff.
13:13Just need a price on them.
13:17Perfect.
13:18I think I'm going to choose this one, because it's really beautiful.
13:21I've set aside 80 euro in the budget to get some sort of shelving unit, and this is 70, so
13:28it's within my budget, so I'm happy.
13:30I'm looking for something that can hold a lot of storage for the workshop.
13:35There's two ways we can do this with maybe two armos next to each other.
13:39Well, I have seen this, which is a bit of a curveball, which looks really beautiful.
13:43Looks like it's got lots of craftsmanship to it.
13:46I think we have three metres to work with, and this is 220, so it could actually work.
13:53We've actually got a very strict budget this time.
13:56There is literally a maximum spend against every single item, so I have to make sure today that I come
14:01in under that.
14:01Otherwise, there can't be no money left.
14:04I need some books.
14:06Perfect.
14:09Pearls.
14:10It needs to be hidden on the murderer.
14:15I've ticked almost everything off my list now.
14:18I've been shopping with laser focus today, and I'm sticking to my list, and I'm sticking to my budget, and
14:24I know that I'm going to go back with, like, almost everything we need.
14:27So I'm really pleased.
14:28Really good.
14:29Merci.
14:30195.
14:31Way under budget.
14:32Very happy.
14:35Yeah, I'm very happy with that.
14:36Merci.
14:38Okay, au revoir.
14:47Back at the chateau...
14:48I've got a lot of panelling to do.
14:50That's good.
14:50A lot of panelling to do, but it's fine.
14:52I've got 120 to do.
14:54Sebith's out of the job, so, yeah.
14:54Josh and Josh begin work on their statement studio wall.
14:58How are we going to get that straight?
15:00Yeah, that's not great that these pieces of wood aren't straight.
15:03I think they're going to be a nightmare, these.
15:05I think we'll just get them on.
15:08And do we think they look straight?
15:11Josh, do they look straight to the eye?
15:14Yeah.
15:15Yeah.
15:15Yeah, they look good.
15:16Just keep doing that, what you're doing.
15:19Just do it.
15:20I don't have as many hands as I'd quite like.
15:23Out in the workshop, Paloma is working on a modular table system
15:27that can be used for a cider-making experience.
15:30This is going to be the modular system,
15:32so we're going to have four tables made up of two pallets.
15:35There'll be one pallet at the top as our work table,
15:38and then another one underneath.
15:40That's going to act as a storage shelf,
15:45and some of the tables are going to have a big hole
15:48with a lid on it, basically.
15:50So when we want to mulch the apples,
15:52they go straight through into the bucket.
15:57Sam?
15:58As Tash returns with everything on her list...
16:00It was two, three, five.
16:02Dimey.
16:03Lots of budget left still.
16:03What are we going to spend the rest of it on?
16:04I don't know, but we can brainstorm that, can't we?
16:06We can get back down the brock on.
16:08Bonjour.
16:08Chris has found a man with a barrel online.
16:12Tunnel?
16:13I don't know.
16:13Tunnel, oui.
16:17Okay, look at these.
16:19Wow.
16:20These are really cool.
16:21As long as they keep their rigidity when we pick them up,
16:23then they're perfect, popping.
16:29Shall we go straight in?
16:31There's one.
16:33This one is slightly bigger.
16:37There's enough bottles for our first batch of cider.
16:41Merci.
16:42Thank you very much.
16:43Okay.
16:44Au revoir.
16:44Au revoir.
16:49I think we'll keep it dark down here.
16:51Okay.
16:51And then we'll keep it...
16:52Cool.
16:52...the lighter colours on top.
16:53Hey you two.
16:55Hello.
16:56How does it feel to be back?
16:58Like coming home.
16:59Emotional.
17:00Was it emotional?
17:01Yeah.
17:01Does it feel like a reality now?
17:03A quarter of a million pounds is at stake.
17:06Yeah.
17:06I think we've had time to think about it, obviously, and picture ourselves here and our family.
17:11So, yeah, it's definitely feeling like really real now, isn't it?
17:14What about the kids?
17:15Did you tell them?
17:16No.
17:16She thinks she's going to live in a castle, Max.
17:18Might not have been the best idea.
17:20No pressure then.
17:21You've told your daughter she might become a princess in her chateau.
17:25Yes.
17:26You best make this good then, right?
17:28Just tell me the basic layout of the room.
17:30I'm going to go for a big banquet table down the middle and some furniture around the outsides
17:35with some hidden surprise elements along the way.
17:39Of course, it's murder mystery.
17:41You can't tell me everything, can you?
17:42No, we can't, no.
17:43Lots of, like, little surprises hidden.
17:45Now, what about the DIY skills?
17:47We want to show a little bit of consideration, shall we say, in our design.
17:53Yeah.
17:53So, just do things on a slightly better level than we did before.
17:57There's a little bit of...
17:58Refinement.
17:58Refinement, exactly that.
18:00Finishes.
18:01Finishes.
18:02Sanding.
18:02You're spoiling me.
18:04You're going to sand the bits of wood that you cut this time.
18:06So, you've briefly met the competition.
18:08What do you think?
18:09Having spent some time talking to them, it sounds like they maybe had a few more wins than us.
18:15I think we're the underdogs at that point.
18:18So, we are the underdogs coming into this.
18:20But that doesn't mean we're not going to throw our absolute all at it.
18:24Tash and Xavier seem to think they're underdogs, having met the other pairs.
18:27But they absolutely deserve to be here.
18:30Some of the ingenuity, the problem solving, the carpentry they showed in that heat was fantastic.
18:35And I can't wait to see what they come up with this time.
18:41As Josh finishes up the paintwork in their studio, Chris is only just returning from the shops.
18:47I'm a bit apprehensive about seeing the barrels.
18:50They were very cheap, and that normally means there's something quite wrong with them.
18:59I hope he's got something good for us.
19:03Oh, my God.
19:05I think they need a good clean.
19:07They need a very good clean.
19:08They've installed for many years in that cupboard, I think.
19:10OK.
19:11So, it's just like they're not too cheap for any reason.
19:23And these artworks, they're very good for the tapestry style.
19:27That's really, really cool.
19:27And this is our Impressionist painting.
19:30As we know, Impressionism was born in Normandy.
19:33Wow.
19:34Love it.
19:34Spend 40 on the armoires compared to 80.
19:38And we haven't got a lot.
19:39No, I've got one.
19:40OK.
19:40But it's massive.
19:41How heavy is it?
19:43I haven't been able to lift it, yeah, by myself.
19:45I need your help.
19:46Guns, McGee.
19:46OK.
19:48What's that?
19:48Have you just done that like that?
19:50No.
19:51What is it?
19:57It is.
19:57It's you with them.
19:58That's what it is.
19:58Oh, have I touched it?
19:59Yeah, it is.
20:01God, that's going to need...
20:02Going to need rolling over that, I guess.
20:04What, is it scratch?
20:05No, it's just because it's gone like that.
20:07It's fitting.
20:10Wait, that's shorter at the bottom.
20:12That needs to come out the wall and go back in.
20:16Oopsie.
20:17Literally, I've got my eyes on him.
20:20Eyes on the prize.
20:24Whilst Chris and Paloma's attention turns to their lighting...
20:27OK.
20:28OK.
20:29You need to be able to tuck two chairs comfortably in without butting into the legs.
20:33Zav is eager to get the measurements for his table legs spot on.
20:36OK.
20:37OK, so legs and feet, yeah?
20:40Tucked in.
20:40Oh, feet.
20:41Yeah.
20:43So about...
20:44So it's just the length of your femur.
20:47It's about 40.
20:48Leave a bit of room, please.
20:5050.
20:51Yeah, so I've already got them at 55.
20:53Anyway, get those calves in.
20:55Woo!
20:58Zavier is, uh, he's always fun to work with, let's put it that way.
21:03No, we always work things out in, like, silly ways, but it does tend to work.
21:08There's method in the madness.
21:10You know?
21:11Hopefully it will work and the table will be very comfortable to sit at.
21:20I'm going to run a clear wire from this side all the way across and zigzag it.
21:29And then we can hang individual things from them.
21:35It doesn't have to be the finished product right now.
21:36We just want to make sure it works, don't we?
21:38We wanted to get everything up before we painted the floor, right?
21:41Ideally.
21:43Yeah.
21:43Straight.
21:44It's the wrong way.
21:46What do you mean?
21:46It's bigger at the top than it is the bottom.
21:49Minutely.
21:50It looks weird.
21:51I'm being quite negative today.
21:56Knock, knock!
21:57Hello!
21:58Hello, hello.
21:59You two cracking on already.
22:01Going on in.
22:01Yeah.
22:01A little bit slow, actually, but...
22:04So what's the plan for this room?
22:06So we are going to be doing a workshop space,
22:10somewhere that we can host different day workshops.
22:14So we are going to be using apples from the orchard to press and match our own cider.
22:20And that would be our business plan, would be that we can create products from Chateau La Belle Pomme
22:26and make it something that people want to give a visit us for.
22:30What would you call it?
22:31Chateau La Belle Pomme.
22:33Oh.
22:34Pretty apple.
22:35The pretty apple.
22:35The pretty apple Chateau.
22:37Oh, that's giving me goosebumps.
22:39So you've met the other pairs now.
22:41What do you think?
22:41Strong competition?
22:42I mean, they're going to have to do well to beat us, so go them if they can, right?
22:47Fighting it all.
22:48I like it.
22:49Right, good luck.
22:51Thank you so much.
22:54Isn't it fascinating that the same brief and yet all three pairs have got completely different ideas for their business?
23:00What I do know is they've all got what it takes to win this Chateau.
23:05With a few moments left before downing tools, Zav is applying the finishing touches to his table.
23:12It needs a couple of coats of this to seal it, make it food safe.
23:15And I'm very pleased with how this is turning out.
23:17I think it's very pretty.
23:19I think we're in quite a good place at the moment.
23:22The vision is coming to life, isn't it?
23:25Yeah, it's starting to.
23:26This is definitely better than the last thing I made in this workshop.
23:34It's a new day at the Chateau and the pairs are eager to crack on with their to-do lists.
23:39Oh, the floor's arrived. Shall we go and get it?
23:41Yeah.
23:42That sideboard, there's the table from yesterday.
23:45OK.
23:46What's happened to it?
23:50Oh, dear.
23:53Right.
23:55I'm feeling it.
24:08Three pairs of DIY enthusiasts have returned to France in the hope of winning this phenomenal property.
24:15Each pair is working on their Chateau business design.
24:18They've had a poo party out there.
24:20I've got some soap.
24:21We're actually serving pigeon at our murder mystery night.
24:25The stakes are high as at the end of the week the rooms will be judged and one pair of
24:30finalists will be going home.
24:32I like it.
24:33Yeah, it's nice.
24:34They've been so kind overnight as to do a bit of a Jackson Pollock on my wonderful table that I
24:40spent all day standing down and varnishing.
24:44You get on with the sideboard.
24:52We turn it around.
24:54It looks like Tasha's managed to get the worst of it off.
24:57So I thought I was having a break from the kids but it turns out I'm still just wiping up
25:01poo so I guess this is my destiny.
25:06Price is averted, Zav resumes work on his sideboard.
25:10Whilst Chris is attempting an upcycling hack with some glass jars he found at the Bracante.
25:15So we are going to attempt, and I say attempt, to turn this into a stone effect jar.
25:21Using bicarbonate of soda.
25:24It gives a bit of grit to the actual paint.
25:27It's got really good coverage.
25:30Look at that.
25:31That to me, looks like it's made out of stone.
25:35So I think, I think we're on to a winner.
25:39Whilst Tash continues colour drenching their space.
25:42Right, should we get sticking?
25:43Josh and Josh have lined up their flooring.
25:46Now all that's left is to glue it down.
25:48You like that?
25:49Yeah.
25:51Trying not to get it on the wall, Josh.
25:53Is it lined up there?
25:54It's not lined up.
25:54It's dodgy.
25:55It's like that wallpaper that we bought this time.
25:56It's because it's quite stretchy in it, so.
25:58We're just squeezing the mats together.
26:01I mean, the pattern matches up.
26:02Whether the glue makes them stick, who knows, but it looks good to me.
26:07I think that's all right, Josh.
26:08I think we should crack on and then see how it sticks.
26:11Because we've not really left it a lot of time.
26:19You're doing something useful.
26:21I hope you are.
26:21Start unpacking things from the shopping, please.
26:25What are you doing?
26:26Where? Go on.
26:26It needs to be pulled that way, slightly.
26:29Come back down, it needs to be pushed again.
26:32Push it slightly.
26:33Push it to you?
26:34No, that way.
26:35Slightly.
26:36Slightly.
26:37Literally.
26:38Not even an inch.
26:39Bad stock.
26:40We're definitely not in charge.
26:42I'm the apprentice and I'm fine with that.
26:44I have my moments.
26:46This is not the moment.
26:48Like that, yeah?
26:49Yeah.
26:55Definitely a little bit worrying.
26:57Not knowing if going a bit more rustic this time is going to fall out of our favour.
27:04But it's really in keeping with our grief.
27:08Definitely the stakes are high.
27:10Everybody really wants this.
27:11This would be life changing for everyone.
27:21Whoa.
27:24Ta-da!
27:26Oh my God, I can't go on my knees anymore.
27:28Do you want to turn that round then and get that ready whilst I'm just doing this instead of watching?
27:32Okay, girl.
27:34Kind of feel like I'm doing surgery.
27:36Zav and Tash are applying wallpaper to their newly panelled walls.
27:40This looks so good.
27:43And Chris and Paloma's unit has arrived.
27:45Hold on.
27:46Though Paloma has some concerns.
27:49It's actually from there.
27:51Where's it got to be from there?
27:52For the turning point.
27:55Yeah, I don't want it if it's that one, but why's it got to be that one?
27:57I reckon we just try.
28:01How did you get in India?
28:02Very easy.
28:03Just picked it up.
28:05That is heavy.
28:08Hang on.
28:09You all right to get us help with this?
28:11Yeah, yeah.
28:11Is it quite large?
28:12Josh, they definitely need two.
28:18Where's Paloma?
28:19Oh, she was just standing there.
28:21She's underneath it.
28:21Is she underneath?
28:22Yeah.
28:24All right, ready?
28:26Yeah.
28:27Yeah, go on.
28:27We can go down, down, down, down.
28:30Legends, thank you very much.
28:32Are you going to dismantle it to get over the stairs?
28:34We did the measurements.
28:35It might fit.
28:36We need more help.
28:37We need more help to slow down.
28:45OK, keep going, keep going, keep going, and put it down when you're ready.
28:50Do you want me to help you lift?
28:51It's very heavy.
28:53I don't think I can do from the bottom.
28:56I mean, I'm not very strong, but an extra pair of hands is an extra pair of hands, isn't it?
29:00You OK?
29:00Yeah, I'm good.
29:03Right, wait.
29:08I am not convinced this is going to...
29:10No, it doesn't look very good right now, does it?
29:13No.
29:14OK.
29:15It does not.
29:16We're going to have to dismantle.
29:20Hang on.
29:23OK.
29:26Thanks for trying.
29:33There.
29:35One.
29:36Sideboard.
29:37Doesn't she look pretty?
29:39My mum has been sending us links to chateaus for years, like I said the other day,
29:43and I've actually got a key ring that she gave me many, many moons ago
29:48that says French Chateau on it.
29:49It's wild being this close to something we've been dreaming about for so long.
30:00Yeah? Like that?
30:02Just designing a header for our panelled wall.
30:05We're going to create, like, a wavy kind of effect over the top of the wooden slats.
30:14Oh, it snapped, so...
30:17I don't need that anyway.
30:22Gorgeous!
30:25Oh!
30:34All the way to the ceiling?
30:35All the way to the ceiling.
30:37All the way to the ceiling.
30:44Yeah?
30:44That's good.
30:45Works.
30:46Another one of Zav's wacky contraptions.
30:49Like that.
30:51And that is a false floor and a cabinet.
30:55You can just hide little clues in here that they've got to work out that there's something going on with
31:00this cabinet.
31:02OK, ready?
31:03Yeah.
31:07Told you so.
31:08Oh, less of that!
31:12So it's basically just an old-fashioned flat back piece.
31:15As another day draws to a close, all is not what it seems with Chris and Paloma's new unit.
31:20It's literally just modern flat back.
31:23I made a boobie.
31:25It's fronted like it was made 200 years ago, wasn't it?
31:30It's been a challenging day with a lot of setbacks.
31:36We'd like to announce we're going our separate ways.
31:40And it's because of the sideboard.
31:42It's done.
31:43Well, that looks really good, actually, doesn't it?
31:45Well done.
31:46Can we be friends again?
31:49I think I'm quite tired.
31:51It's mid-challenge.
31:53I think I need a good night's sleep and I feel a bit more positive about everything tomorrow.
31:59As a new day dawns in the chateau, the teams resume their work renovating their business spaces.
32:07Ta-da!
32:08Ta-da!
32:09It's looking quite good, hey?
32:11Can you grab a tape measure, please?
32:12Yes.
32:12There we are.
32:15We are building a sort of console table bench out of these concrete blocks.
32:21We'll be building a house next.
32:23Yeah.
32:24But it wouldn't be a renovation challenge at the chateau without a little surprise from me.
32:30Teams, can I gather you outside, please?
32:34Oh, here we go.
32:35Let's go.
32:40Hello.
32:41Hello.
32:42Fancy seeing you here.
32:45You know me well enough by now to know I wasn't going to let you get away without another petite
32:50challenge.
32:50Come on, to the workshop.
32:52Cool.
32:53Here we go.
32:54Nearly.
33:05Oh, I don't want to see.
33:10That chair dusty.
33:12Lucky as it is, can we just leave it?
33:15Ooh.
33:16I quite like it.
33:17I don't want that chair in my room.
33:19What are we going to do with that?
33:21Rip it to pieces.
33:22Oh.
33:23Oh.
33:24Oh.
33:26Welcome to a supersized grand finale petite challenge.
33:30I set these petite challenges to test your ability to act quickly and think on the spot while working under
33:36pressure.
33:37All of which are necessary skills to run a chateau in France.
33:41Today, I want you to upcycle a piece of vintage furniture.
33:47I've provided each of you with a chair found around many a French dining table.
33:51But I want you to transform it into something suitable for your business room.
33:57Hmm.
33:59You have two hours to complete the challenge.
34:02When the time is up, I'll select one design as the winner.
34:05For one of you, this will be your final petite challenge.
34:10Everything you need is in the workshop.
34:12Your time starts now.
34:18Grab whatever one you like.
34:20Oh, I remember this one.
34:21Glitter.
34:22Leave that then.
34:24OK.
34:28OK.
34:29It's actually a really good colour scheme.
34:31A colour match.
34:32Yeah, it's not terrible.
34:33No, it's not.
34:34A couple of ideas.
34:35One is to convert that into a stool for the workshop.
34:38Could be an easel as well.
34:41We actually wanted to buy a small sort of kneeling stool that could be used as a meditation stool.
34:46And we couldn't afford one.
34:48So, actually, this is perfect.
34:49This is the perfect challenge because we can actually make it really usable.
34:53Yeah.
34:53We're keeping it as a chair.
34:55We're keeping it as a chair.
34:55I mean, it goes perfectly for our room.
34:57We actually probably needed something to rest our trunk on, so it will be perfect.
35:01We're going to go for stool.
35:03Sacrilege.
35:05We love vintage pieces, so it is a bit strange to be actually hacking it up.
35:08Especially when it's in.
35:08But we had good practice with that yesterday with the armour, and we put it back together quite well.
35:16Should we get going on shaping it?
35:18You want to do that, and I'll stand down the chair.
35:23Whew!
35:24Whew!
35:25What is it?
35:26The wasp!
35:31Ooh!
35:32Where is it?
35:34There's a wasp chasing me.
35:35He's gone.
35:38I'm terrified of wasps.
35:40Wasps and rats.
35:41No, not for me.
35:45Oh, my God!
35:47No!
35:48What is it doing?
35:50We're going to paint the chair blue to go with our colour scheme.
35:53That is very blue.
35:54I think we should maybe paint the chair in the lighter blue.
35:57I'm going to open it.
35:58No, I don't like that.
36:00Is it even?
36:01Is it?
36:02Yeah, of course it is.
36:03I mean, is it even?
36:05Even, Stephen.
36:05OK, that's good.
36:06Yeah.
36:08We're going to make a little table easel.
36:11Zoe is in the back of the chair.
36:13I've taken these pieces off it and we're going to have a hinge here.
36:17Hey, do you want to use that one?
36:19Yeah.
36:19Or another one to make two?
36:20I think so.
36:21Do it like that, wouldn't we?
36:22And then we'd cut all these bits off.
36:23OK.
36:24We'll have to drill it together.
36:27Very time conscious.
36:28I know that the time disappears in these challenges.
36:33Trying to work to efficiency this week.
36:36That's been the theme of the week.
36:38Might have a little break from what we're doing.
36:41We do want to win now because we haven't actually won one yet.
36:43Yeah, it would be nice.
36:48You just don't stop.
36:50Didn't even see you there.
36:51So what have we got?
36:52We've obviously chopped the legs off.
36:54We've got rid of the back of the chair.
36:56And this is going to become a meditation stool.
37:00And this was the back of the chair.
37:03And our idea is to make a second stool.
37:05I'm actually really pleased to see you're making something like this.
37:08Because my favourite thing to do when I go for a workout in a studio...
37:11Is just sit down.
37:12Sit down.
37:12Me too.
37:13He does the workout and I'm like...
37:15So that can be your stool, just to sit and observe.
37:17Fantastic.
37:18Thank you for that very thoughtful gift.
37:22Are you happy with that?
37:24Yeah.
37:25Are you happy with that?
37:26Sit down.
37:28Feel free?
37:29Delightful.
37:30Shall we go?
37:31Shall we go?
37:33So these are the stencils we've laser engraved.
37:35And we've got a few different sized checkerboards.
37:39Normandy architecture uses a lot of the burgundy, maroony checkerboards.
37:43It's an element we're adding to our room.
37:45So if we can tie it into the chair, it'll look good if we can pull it off.
37:51Oh no.
37:52Whoops.
37:53Savvy, eh?
37:59Ooh, it looks pretty.
38:00You like it?
38:01Yeah, happy.
38:01Yeah, it's cool, isn't it?
38:02No time to sit around, everybody.
38:04You've used up half of your time.
38:07You have 60 minutes left.
38:10Where's the pliers gone?
38:16I don't love reupholstery, but you know, it's got to be done, hasn't it?
38:21You get better eye each time you do it with these things, so...
38:24Do what? Corners, and then we'll pull it tighter at the end.
38:28Start middle, middle, middle, middle, and then you start...
38:31How are you getting on with that? Do you want to jump on with it?
38:33No, I'm having a bit of a mess, so we're going to have to...
38:41I've never seen you two work so fast.
38:43How's it going?
38:44We've changed people, Max.
38:46You really are, so focused and determined.
38:48Yeah.
38:49Yeah, we know what we're doing these days.
38:50We have a plan these days.
38:51Do you? Would you like to tell me your plan?
38:52We are going to keep it as a chair.
38:54Ooh.
38:54But we're going to make it a chair that's going to fit in with our theme,
38:58so we're going to have it as more of a decorative chair in the corner.
39:01So we're making a cushion.
39:03And we're going to be painting it to match our room colours.
39:06Great.
39:06So you can show off your upholstery skills as well.
39:08Exactly.
39:09Is that something you've done before?
39:10Yes.
39:10I haven't done it on, like, a grand scale before, but I have tried it.
39:14Just so you know, Zav was shaking his head in the other direction.
39:17I haven't done dining chairs before, but I think I can apply the same thing and it will be fine.
39:22Great. Look forward to seeing it.
39:25Right.
39:26Foam.
39:27Don't put your feet up just yet.
39:29You've only got half an hour left.
39:32Right.
39:33Okay.
39:33We've got this.
39:34We've got this.
39:35Wasn't the plan to wrap it round the bottom?
39:37No, it wasn't.
39:38No.
39:38So go on top.
39:40Okay.
39:42Okay.
39:42I can do the rest.
39:44Perfect.
39:46We are using emulsion from our room.
39:48I'm hoping it's going to stick.
39:50I really need to find a second paintbrush, but the only one that I could find,
39:54is covered in bird poop.
40:04Trauma.
40:06It's basically what my mum does for a living is this, but I've never even, I've watched
40:10her do it a million times, but never shown any interest.
40:12You might want to sit down for this.
40:14You only have five minutes to finish your creations.
40:17Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick.
40:21Josh, go.
40:22Send it.
40:23You're going to need to get your mask on.
40:24No, it's fine.
40:24Just do it.
40:24I'm going to get your mask on.
40:25Just do it.
40:31Fold it.
40:32I'm going to need each side.
40:33And then just go bloop, bloop, bloop, and then put it on.
40:35You reckon?
40:35Yeah.
40:36Try and get the edges really tight.
40:39They are already, thanks very much.
40:41Honestly.
40:42Okay.
40:46All right.
40:47That works well, actually.
40:50Okay.
40:51Yeah?
40:51Yeah.
41:02Time's up.
41:04That's it.
41:06You smashed it.
41:07Step away from your chairs.
41:09It's time to present your work.
41:12Oh God, I haven't got yourself floating.
41:16Amazing work, everyone.
41:18You've really, really raised the bar.
41:20It just goes to show how much you all really want this prize.
41:24With the petite challenge complete, it's time to take a closer look.
41:29So when you walked around the corner and saw chairs were the challenge,
41:32you rubbed your hands together.
41:33There's always room for chairs in our room.
41:36We're going to use this one in the corner as more of a decorative piece.
41:39So do we think the size and proportion of the pad is correct?
41:43Well, I actually kind of did that on purpose.
41:45It's removable, so you can change the colour scheme any time you like.
41:49Like so.
41:50Painted underneath as well.
41:52You didn't see that bit.
41:53Just do that again, Sam.
41:54Damn it!
41:56And Tash, I know you spent a long time with the gilding.
41:59Is that your thing?
42:00Oh yeah, I love a bit of gold.
42:01Bit of bling.
42:02I love it.
42:06Team Josh.
42:07Hello.
42:07To turn a very traditional looking dining chair into some quite contemporary looking stools.
42:13You must be quite happy with that.
42:14Yeah, really, really happy with how they've turned out.
42:16It was on our shopping list actually to find a stool.
42:18So we were really happy that we could use that without spending any more of our budget.
42:21I think the obvious way to upholster these chairs would be to remove the seat fob itself, staple gun that
42:27on the back and bonk it back in.
42:28We've made quite an intricate design here.
42:30Yeah.
42:31Yeah, it's a lot more challenging to expose the legs and like fold the fabric round the corners, getting that
42:35nice and tight without being able to see the seams.
42:37I think it's good, showing technique.
42:38I think a lot of people, given the time constraints and the fact they're in the grand finale with a
42:43quarter of a million pound at stake, might have gone for the easier route.
42:46Yeah.
42:46Always brave you two.
42:48Now's the time.
42:49Great stuff, they look fantastic.
42:59Paloma and Chris, bonjour.
43:00Bonjour.
43:01I love how your brain works, Paloma.
43:03How did you see an easel out of a dining chair?
43:07It was actually Chris's idea this time.
43:09Yeah, I think Paloma's actually rubbing off on me a bit because it was my idea.
43:12She did it though, of course.
43:14Now talk to me about the stenciling.
43:16The checkerboard that you see a lot around the region on the architecture, fleur de lis and flax flowers on
43:21the front.
43:22Nice.
43:22And you've stenciled that onto the front of the stool.
43:24Yeah.
43:26Now, forgive me if I'm wrong, but when that's facing the easel, you won't see the stencil, you'll see the
43:31back.
43:33Yeah, that's true.
43:37I mean, I don't think about this too much.
43:40Just to be clear.
43:41With two hours, I think that's a great job.
43:43Thank you so much.
43:48All of you should be very proud of your designs, but also the progress you've made since we first saw
43:53you here.
43:54I think all of your items are going to look fantastic in your rooms.
43:58But the winner for today's petite challenge is...
44:06Josh and Josh.
44:12Right, no time to sit around, you've got lots of work to do.
44:15Take your chairs back to your rooms.
44:19I actually really enjoyed that one.
44:20Yeah, it was fun.
44:21I feel super proud that we managed to turn it into two items that we actually really wanted in the
44:25space.
44:27It's a shame we didn't win.
44:28We haven't won a petite challenge yet.
44:30But I think the main thing is we've made something that we genuinely would use in our room.
44:35We're not going to let it get us down.
44:38I had an opportunity to practice some reupholstery, so now when you go in there and do the other ten
44:44chairs...
44:44I'll put the backing fabric on.
44:46Yeah, put the backing fabric on and know what we're doing with it a bit more.
44:51Next time...
44:52This has actually made me really nervous, I don't know why.
44:55The teams pull out all the stops.
44:57Absolute madness.
44:58Oh, yeah.
44:59To get their business ideas off the ground.
45:02Ooh, X marks the spot.
45:03But whose will be built to last?
45:05That is wider than the back.
45:07I told you this.
45:08I did not want to be in this state.
45:10And whose will get shut down?
45:12For one pair, the dream ends here.
45:35The fate and the six feet are errors.
45:37You see it.
45:38No we'll do this.
45:39Really nice enough.
45:39Let's see.
45:40That's a pretty good theme.
45:40So enjoy beingается in distress all you will be in this arc.
45:41What are you doing?描
45:42marketing if you are dead? Let's
45:43hear all 3 times it takes me. How are
45:44you going to do in advance? To get
45:45every other one system of Christ, will not
45:45be systems... In any
45:45kind of curvace on your country...
