This week on Grand Designs, our lovable host Kev' heads to Macquarie Island in this heartfelt romp for the whole family to enjoy. Bethany and Frederick are two small city slickers with a big dream - own their own little slice of heaven in the sub-antarctic. But leaky roofs, dodgy doors and barking electricians have other ideas. Mild coarse language. Minimal animal distances adhered to.

Macquarie Island's film for the 2015 Antarctic 48 Hour Film Festival.

The four elements that had to be included in this year's films were: a toilet seat Peas, a boing sound and the phrase "It's a very complicated algorithm".

All filming, editing, and everything else took place on the 1st and 2nd of August 2015.

A tragic love story vaguely inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet and Wilfred. Written, filmed and edited in a 48 hour period over a stormy weekend in August.
This years five required elements (a quote, a sound, an object, an action and a member of the winter team) were the quote “that’s not a knife, this is a knife”, the sound of an old car/bike horn, a tennis (or other) ball, the action of swinging an ice axe and a member of the winter team acting as a scientist.
