BBC One - Amanda & Alan's Italian Job, Series 2, Episode 8

Amanda and Alan renovate the kitchen and throw an emotional farewell party.

Amanda and Alan are on the home stretch as they renovate the kitchen and reveal their restored 17th-century house to their Tuscan friends with an emotional farewell party.

Alan and Amanda are on the home stretch as they join forces to renovate the kitchen. Hoping to create the heart of their Italian home, the best friends aim to build an authentic rustic Tuscan design and set out repurposing the old chestnut beds from Amanda’s bedroom to form the kitchen units. 

Alan brushes up on his culinary skills, learning how to cook the classic Italian dish ravioli with local friend Luca, and Amanda brings a touch of colour to the kitchen, covering the fireplace in handmade tiles. Keen to source local Carrara marble for their worktops, the duo visit an active quarry in the Apuan Alps but face a treacherous journey to get there.

For one last Tuscan treat, new friend Warrie invites Amanda and Alan for an afternoon of truffle hunting before they bid an emotional farewell with a party for the friends they’ve made over the summer.
