The Big Build - Wigan

BBC One - DIY SOS, Series 26, The Big Build - Wigan

Nick and the team build an apartment so that a couple can care for their son at home.

Home renovation series. Nick and the team build a self-contained apartment alongside Frank and Christine's bungalow so that they can care for their son.

In April 2012, 35-year-old Mark Burrows had retrained to follow in his father's footsteps as a scaffolder. Then, during an unprovoked attack, he fell and hit his head on the pavement, resulting in severe brain damage and paralysis. Now unable to walk, talk or feed himself, he requires 24-hour care, something his parents Frank and Christine are desperate to give him, rather than him being in a care home 15 miles away. 

With the help of flamboyant designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Nick and the boys take on the task of building a self-contained apartment alongside Frank and Christine's two-bedroom bungalow so that after two years away, Mark can at last come home.
