Episode 4: The Big Build - Hull

Duration: 1 hour

First broadcast: on BBC One WalesLatest broadcast: on BBC One Cambridgeshire

Liz and Jason Liversidge of Hull were married in 2009 and then quickly started a new family. But shortly after Jason embarked upon doing up the house for his growing family he was diagnosed with Fabry's disease, a rare genetic condition that results in the body slowly being poisoned by a build-up of toxins. Even worse for Jason and Liz was the realisation that daughters Lily and Poppy would also have it. Then, as if things couldn't get worse, he was also diagnosed with motor neurone disease, giving him just years to live.

As his health deteriorates, all Jason longs for is a home where he can be safe to build memories so that his daughters will remember him and where Liz will have the best chance of bringing them up in the future. Enter Nick, the boys and designer Oliver Heath with an army of local tradespeople to do what they can to make their future more comfortable. Show less
