King of interior design Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is back to explore more wild, wonderful and truly outrageous homes around the UK.
Channel 4 has commissioned IWC Media (a Banijay UK company), producers of Location, Location, Location, to make a second series of Outrageous Homes with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, celebrating some of the country’s most unique homes and their proud, visionary owners.
Each episode sees LLB visit homes with different and distinctive designs with engaging stories behind them. No-one knows bold and outrageous style quite like Laurence, who delights in discovering what inspires each homeowner to dare to be different and banish the bland, as well as uncovering the blood, sweat and tears that helped bring each design to life.
Series one featured a pirate party pad, a pink shrine and a vampire fantasy lair, not to mention an underwater Atlantis, a Venetian palazzo and a medieval-themed terraced home. In this series there really is no such thing as bad design.
Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen comments:
“Twenty-eight years ago when I filmed the first episode of Changing Rooms, I suspected that this nation wasn’t actually the aesthetic blandscape it appeared to be and now, with Outrageous Homes Season Deux (The Glampire Strikes Back) I’ll be up to the armpits in weird. Homeowners who dare to be different are the beating heart of this celebratory telly feast and I can’t wait to spend time with yet more carbon-based lifeforms who will never be afraid of living life THEIR way.”
Deborah Dunnett, commissioning editor for Channel 4, said:
“Outrageous Homes is a wonderful addition to our property portfolio. Series one was so much fun we simply had to send the inimitable LLB back on the road to meet more extraordinary people and I can’t wait to see the properties he and the team discover for us this time around.”
Gerard Costello, Head of Popular Factual for IWC, said:
“When it comes to our homes, Britain has become a nation that dares to design and for aesthetic pioneers up and down the country, there is no greater accolade than a visit from Laurence. It’s a pleasure to be bringing our property know-how to bear on this series, celebrating the people who have made their houses into their very own outrageous homes.”
Outrageous Homes with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is a 4×60’ peak time series commissioned for Channel 4 by Deborah Dunnett, commissioning editor, Lifestyle, with Jo Street, Director of Commissioning, Nations & Regions and Head of Lifestyle. It is produced in Glasgow by IWC Media and the executive producer is Gerard Costello.
