Sunday TV tips: Some DIY SOS after a tough year in Waterford

The Great House Revival; and the finale of DIY SOS: The Big Ireland

DIY SOS: The Big Build Ireland – finale

RTÉ One, 6.30pm

The DIY SOS team head to Waterford City. It’s been a tough year for Laura Sheridan, a mum of three and a nurse from Comeragh Park.

The former Nurse of Year and Nursing Home Manager was diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a form of cancer that affects the immune system. And her twin boys were found to have a form of autism which requires constant supervision and care. 

The Great House Revival

RTÉ One, 9.30pm

Lindsay and Kevin Deely, their sons Sam and Tom and their two dogs leave Oranmore for a patch of land in Craughwell with what appeared to be a 1980s bungalow and barn. The cottage turns out to be a traditional cottage with thatch replaced by tiles so they take on a restoration and barn conversion.  That means cutting costs by moving into a mobile home on site and taking on DIY demolition themselves
