DIY SOS
NEW THURSDAY, 9PM, BBC1 FACTUAL
After collaborating to transform a derelict site into a safe base for Leeds charity Getaway Girls in last year’s DIY SOS Children in Need special, Nick Knowles and his trusty team are delighted to again be joining forces with a group of BBC Radio 2 presenters on another ambitious build.
Calling on the skills of tradespeople and volunteers from across the UK, Nick and friends accepted the challenge of creating a bespoke new centre for Treetops Hospice in Risley, Derbyshire, to provide better counselling and therapy services for children going through a bereavement.
TV Times caught up with Nick, 61, to learn more about the 10-day mission, charted in a one-off BBC1 programme this Thursday…
Why was this special build so important, Nick?
Treetops Hospice is a hospice for adults with life-limiting illnesses, but funding from BBC Children in Need over the past decade has meant they have been able to develop as a leading bereavement counselling service for children in Derbyshire.

Shona KIDNAPPED!
David Platt thought he was proper clever when he nabbed the bag of dirty cash that Damon Hay had left for Sarah - with the unexpected windfall, he was able to buy No.8 from Gail. He's not quite so smug now, though, is he? The money, it transpired, belonged to Harvey Gaskell, Damon's brother, and the incarcerated gangster wants it back. With interest. Harvey has already made threats to David, via his stooges on the outside, and this week he ups the ante and has Shona kidnapped.
