The second programme in the new series of
Property Ladder (Tuesday 2000, Channel 4) sees Sarah Beeney visit a tiny terrace in Salisbury and a tired bungalow in Leeds, while architect Maxwell Hutchinson is helping a keyworker couple buy a derelict home in London in
How to Rescue a House (Wednesday 1930, BBC2).
