Twofour’s five part series for UKTV Style, which challenges Extreme Makover: Home Editions’s Ty Pennington to transform the rundown Cornish town of Portreath, is scheduled to go out daily from Tuesday 16 September at 10pm with a double bill on Friday 19 September.

In decline since the 1960s when the tin mining industry closed down, Portreath’s survival depends on tourism. But the competition is tough. With Padstow and Rock, its two trendier neighbours claiming the majority of the tourists, Portreath has to work hard to get on the tourist radar. And, to make things harder, storms earlier this year devastated the town and damaged the one area, The Park, which the entire village could use.

It’s a big challenge. Ty will need to rally all the community representatives and come up with a design that enables the entire village to benefit from The Park. It needs a playpark, a new football pitch, seating area for the mums, a store full of the latest sports equipment, and a stunning walk. And, it must all be fully funded, completed in an aesthetic, environmentally friendly way and within one week!
