Season 1 2019

From an underground cave blasted with dynamite in the Australian desert and an eco-friendly spaceship that landed in a French field, to a dystopian Disneyland in the Californian desert, this episode of World's Weirdest Homes showcases more fabulously bizarre homes. The programme also meets the homes' eccentric owners, from a flamboyant Nigerian pop star who builds statues of himself to a 93-year-old monk who's spent 57 years building his own cathedral. At turns hilarious, heart-warming and insightful, the programme, which is presented by architectural designer Charlie Luxton, explores why these people choose to escape the everyday world, and finds out what it takes to live in these jaw-dropping homes.

From a kaleidoscopic house fit for a Canadian Batman to a Mexican house floating on 160,000 plastic bottles and a tiny cottage in Scotland that's like something from The Hobbit, Charlie Luxton reveals more fabulously bizarre homes. Charlie meets the eccentric owners too, from a Middlesbrough carpenter who keeps building houses that get washed away by hurricanes and a Russian clown who likes to row his bed down a river, to a Cuban artist who started a revolution in his own neighbourhood. At turns hilarious, heart-warming and insightful, the programme explores what it takes to live in a jaw-dropping home.
