If you love Room To Improve, set record.
As is the norm with every new year that arrives, plenty of people will be making frivolous resolutions and promises that they’ll finally ‘get their act together’ and make some changes.
Well, if you plan on doing that, fair play to you. Elsewhere, if you plan on changing nothing, fair play to you too.
However, one man that’s constantly looking at what needs to be repaired and improved upon (duh, it’s the title of the show) is Dermot Bannon and RTÉ’s beloved show returns this weekend with a very special episode.
This Sunday, the first of two episodes of Room to Improve – Dermot’s Home will air on RTÉ One at 9.30pm. The eagerly-anticipated show sees Dermot undertake the most important project of his career, renovating his new family home.
For the first time, Dermot is both the client and architect – a dual role in which he’s far from comfortable.
As Dermot struggles to realise his vision, he’ll need all the help he can get. The first programme of this two-part addition to Ireland’s favourite home design series sees Dermot reunited with his former on-screen partner, the no-nonsense quantity surveyor Patricia Power.
As time runs out, the stakes are higher than ever and the tables are turned. Can Ireland’s most famous architect separate this head from his heart as he embarks on his most personal project yet – the family home of his dreams?
Take a look at what’s in store.
