TV Alert 2019

Nothing to do with aviation but I just watched "Murder Case" on iPlayer. It follows a real life murder case in Glasgow and I found it riveting, even had a detective who was close to tears.

Tonight (01.35 Monday) on Channel 4. The Restoration Man "A derelict airfield control tower." A repeat. Any idea where?

Didn't that programme do the restoration of FEARN tower?

Yes must be Fearn from the description.

ENTERTAINMENT: The Restoration Man
On: Channel 4 (04)
Date: Monday 8th July 2019 (starting tomorrow morning)
Time: 01:35 to 02:30 (55 minutes long)

Londoners Justin Hooper and Charlotte Seddon have a dramatic vision for a derelict airfield control tower in the Highlands. But simply restoring the 700 window panes to their original modernist look swallows 40 per cent of their budget, and the difficulties of project-managing the build from 600 miles away make it increasingly hard for the couple to make the final leap from their city home. George Clarke helps them realise their plans for this 4,000 sq ft military space, and meets the people who were willing to sacrifice everything as the tower played a crucial role during the Second World War.
(Audio Described, Repeat, Subtitles, Series 3, Episode 12)

Starring: George Clarke, Lionel Mill, Robert Marsden

Just saw a small bit of George Clarks Amazing Spaces where a couple had built a home inside a listed decontamination centre. No idea which airfield as I wasn't really watching it. The house wasn't allowed to affect the outside walls so the roof was removed and the house was half full height and half courtyard/skylight which gave light to the place. A very private way to live when you can only be viewed from above!

Could this have been Bicester?

The other two nights also have a repeated programme at 21:00 with an aviation interest.
