Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’s Ty Pennington  returns to the UK take on two new challenges.  Responding to a plea for help from the beleaguered town of Portishead, he embarks on a mission to rebuild their much loved open air swimming pool.  Devastated by the council’s decision to close the pool last year, locals have been lobbying rigorously to get their pool back and, after months of campaigning, their wish has finally been granted.  There’s only one problem – they need to reopen the dilapidated pool in May and there’s months of work to be done!

Ty’s next mission takes him to the Scottish border town of Langholm, a once thriving textile town with a rich cultural heritage that has fallen on hard times.  Symbolic of the town’s demise is the loss of its music and arts festival, an annual event that not only gave the local town bands the chance to perform but helped put Langholm on the much needed tourist map. Taking on his most ambitious British adventure yet, Ty pulls out all the stops to resurrect Langholm’s music festival.  Using all of his trademark enthusiasm and energy, Ty galvanises the community into undertaking this mammoth project.

Promising to deliver breathtaking transformations, Ty’s Great British Adventure sees Ty doing what he does best - surprising deserving local people who have volunteered to help but who also deserve recognition and reward.  With the clock ticking, will Ty complete his missions of mercy?
