Episode synopsis
As the competition to find Britain's best shed reaches its climax, George Clarke and his fellow judges look at the final groups of shortlisted sheds battling it out for a place in the grand final. The 'Normal' sheds prove anything but, with one of the smallest discos in the world up against a Dad's Army themed shed complete with air raid siren, as well as a 1970s amusement park in a shed with a 12-foot working Ferris wheel outside. The judges cast their eyes over the most pleasurable category in the competition, the Pub Shed, before they decide which of them most deserves the overall prize of Shed of the Year 2014. George also visits last year's winner: an upside-down boat shed.
About Amazing Spaces: Shed of the Year
Amazing Spaces: Shed of the Year' is a celebration of one of the symbols of British eccentricity: the humble garden shed, a hallowed land of splendid isolation in nature, and often an arena for creativity. The competitors have all expanded the limits what a shed can be, and what they can be used for. George Clarke pays a visit to the entrants, and has seen recreations of the Millennium Falcon, a museum for antique lawnmowers, and a travelling shed that can reach 80mph. The finalists are the top four sheds entered into each of the eight categories which include Eco, Unexpected, Pub & Entertainment, Workshop & Studio, Unique, Cabin & Summerhouse, Historical and Budget.
