There's a new designer on the block: spiky-haired, tattooed Laura McCree. Her first job is in Ellingham, Northumberland where she helps Conservative Aiden and his wife Helen create a modernist gallery in the Old Vicarage where Lib Dem councillor Heather and her husband John live. Meanwhile, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen crosses the road to turn a bedroom in Aiden and Heather's neo-Gothic mansion into something that is a homage to the nude female form. Much hair- and paint-flicking from Laurence later, will the quartet be warring neighbours as well as being politically divided? (FL)
