Anyone a bit at it tonight?

Everything was starting so well and then .... he's died? I'm mean gosh the poor family :(

i KNOW!!! so sad, brave woman,

How sad, I've teared up a bit at it all. so bloody unfair.

I hope her build goes well, she has enough to deal with TBH.

Yes very . Didn't expect that.

Wasn't expecting that. Very sad.

The intended house does look lovely though! better than they have been this new series

I knew this was coming, so heartbreaking to hear him talk at the beginning

Oh I missed the beginning what happened?

What did he die of, mssed the very first bit. Cancer I presume but what sort? So sad, amazing lady.

so shitty -and the children are so small :( and of course now she has to do everything and grieve and build a house...I hope she doesn't end up feeling that it's like a mausoleum - she might feel the need to move on in a few years

shed a tear or 2 here too

stomach cancer

He died of stomach cancer.

My god, so sad. He seemed so lovely.

She seems very strong

Amazing lady! Hope she ends up very happy with the house and it becomes a lovely home for them with good memories as well as the legacy from her husband.

Scary to see him look fine and then he's gone.
The house looks very nice and I'm please it's down to earth.

I'm watching too. Her house is going to be beautiful I'm sure, she seems to have an excellent architect and builder. I'm glad she went ahead and did it on her own.

Have only just tuned in. How sad.

Yeah, I was chatting to dh and all of a sudden heard - died in 2008. I was like - what??? Poor thing.

I do think she's doing the wrong thing to build it - I second the mausoleum comment. I don't think it is her dream really....!

i couldnt carry on with the build personally, she does seem very nice and hope it all goes well.

But she has had to make lots of changes to so it's not really the original vision.

Financially, though, it might have been the most sensible thing to carry on with the build. Moreover, I don't think it will be a mausoleum as she has had to make quite a few changes and has had no option but to put her own stamp on it.

She seems like an incredibly strong woman.

She is quite incredible isn't she. Not sure I'd have the strength to do it, but do understand why she wants to. The house looks beautiful - I hope it's a lovely home for her and the kids.

So sad, like the house. Like that it's evolved from the original idea but still has his ideas in it.

poor thing. She looks like she is fighting tears at all times. Kevin McCloud hasn't challenged her at all. Good for her to go ahead, I hope she finds peace there - poor soul.

house is gorgeous! hope she can be happy there
