In the RadioTimes.com exclusive clip, Kevin talks to railway enthusiast 'Barry', who wants to "seriously downsize" and convert an old railway station - but due to the "unusual construction method," he's got no groundwork costs, and he should be done by teatime.

Barry's "bespoke" new home is "built on an epic scale... or a scale, at least," according to an impressed Kevin - who adds that he hopes Barry has enough glue.

"Would you go through all of the pain again?" he asks the cheery new homeowner.

"Oh yeah, I've got a signal box to do tomorrow," Barry replies. "And I've ordered a Second World War spitfire to do at the weekend."
