A DURHAM City couple will this week see their back yard transformed into a leisure area by a makeover team from television's Whole Nine Yards programme.
Presenter Simon Cross took his team to the Gilesgate Moor home of Lesley and Graham whose spacious back yard was up for improvement.
A keen gardener, Lesley was a perfect candidate for a design which required more maintenance than most and the theme of the project was water.
That was good news for aquatic expert Phil Jennings and viewers will see his professional talents come to the fore as he creates a feature pond for the yard.
Simon, on the other hand, spent the first three days of the project rendering a wall.
The addition of some quirky accessories and some pond-friendly wildlife completed the picture.
The programme will be broadcast on Tyne Tees Television on Sunday at 5.45pm.
