The amazing story of how a whole city full of volunteers came together to answer a call from Nick Knowles and the DIY SOS team to transform an adventure playground in Bristol will be finally shown tonight.
The BBC show, which sees presenters and a team of workers set a challenge and a deadline for a big bit of DIY, was filmed in Southmead at the end of October last year - and the episode airs tonight at 8pm, Tuesday, October 24, on BBC1.
The show will reveal how local building firms, volunteers, the army and even the local firefighters got involved in transforming The Ranch - the Southmead Adventure Playground - over the course of ten days. The group that manages the playground has now revealed that it was only due to another DIY SOS project falling through that it secured a slot on the show, as a rapid replacement.
