Are you piggy-in-the-middle cos your brother or sister hogs the house? | 0:00:35 | 0:00:41 | |
Listen up. On I Want My Own Room | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |

Get ready to meet today's design desperado. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
My name's Alex and I love making money. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
But this is the only place where I get any peace! | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
Alex needs an office and somewhere he can hang out with mates. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
So Mum and Dad give him control of the house. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
A top designer gets to grips with his wish list. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
They find ideas on a trip to a funky office. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
And Mum and Dad are made to chip in. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
-Time's ticking. -Alex, you're a slave driver! | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
But with just four days to get everything done, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
will they finish on time? | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
13-year-old Alex is a budding businessman. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
Sharing a room with brother Oliver is a right pain, though. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:46 | |
My brother comes in all the time, plays football. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
Sister Alicia is in the box room, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
so that just leaves downstairs. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
Or maybe not, with Mum and Dad's stuff everywhere. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
I need to pay Alex a visit and find him the space he desperately needs. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
-Hi, come in. -Hi, Alex. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
-Where shall we go first? -I'll show you the bedroom. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
Sounds good. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
I share it with my brother, my little brother. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
-Sharing can be quite fun. -Yeah, but sometimes he'll break my stuff. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:25 | |
I spend my paper round money saving up for something I really want. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:31 | |
-Next day it's broken! -Whose desk is it? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
It's mainly mine for my plans and how to make money and stuff. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:39 | |
-A bit of a business tycoon? -Yeah! -Is that what you want to do? -Yeah. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
We used to get ice creams, put our money together and go and sell them. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
-Can I see the rest of the house? -Yeah. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
-Woo! Whose is all the stuff? -Mainly Mum's. That's her dressing table. | 0:02:54 | 0:03:00 | |
We're running out of options here! Shall we go into the garden? | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
Ooh! | 0:03:06 | 0:03:07 | |
You've got quite a bit of space out here. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Do you think we could fit a sort of office/ chill-out space in there? | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
I think maybe half the size of the garden. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
I think we've found a space to work with here, Alex. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
-Shall we go and tell Mum and Dad? -Yeah. -Come on, then. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
So there's nowhere in the house for Alex to build a business empire | 0:03:28 | 0:03:32 | |
except the garden. But are Mum and Dad ready to hand over control? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
There's not much space for Alex to spread out. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
Not much space for any of us! There are five of us. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
There's a lot of Mum and Dad's stuff in the living room area. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
-I am a clutter nutter! I hold on to stuff and won't get rid of it. -True! | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
So we think, don't we, Alex, that out here in the garden | 0:03:51 | 0:03:56 | |
would be a great space to build an outside room for Alex. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
Where will we put the barbecue? It's my pride and joy, my barbecue! | 0:03:59 | 0:04:04 | |
-Do people like his barbecues? -If you like a sausage burnt! | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
If you had the barbie, you burn the food anyway! | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
We want you to try and do your hobbies in the space Alex has got. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
-How do you feel about that? -Easy. Bring it on! Yeah. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
We need to shock Mum and Dad into agreeing to give Alex more space. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
I've measured the free floor space in the room that Alex shares. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
And this is the amount of free space that Alex has. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
-There you go. One snooker cue and some balls. -Thank you. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
Give your mum a skipping rope and a hula hoop as well! There you go. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
We need to take it in turns. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
Do you and Oliver take it in turns to use the space? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
-No, we do it at the same time. -Exactly. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
They should do it at the same time. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
-All right, Mum and Dad, come on out of there. -Thank you! | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
You've been through enough pain. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
Really, how was that? | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
That wasn't good. We were very squashed. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
Now you know why I deserve my own room! | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
-Mum and Dad, are you ready for this? -I don't know! | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
-Not entirely convinced, to be honest! -Come on, take the keys. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
Mum and Dad, do you agree to let Alex redesign your house and garden | 0:05:24 | 0:05:31 | |
any way he chooses to give him more space? | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
-Do we have to? -Yes, you do, don't they? -Yeah, you do. -OK, Alex, | 0:05:33 | 0:05:39 | |
-I'll leave it to your good judgement. -Yes! | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
Well done! | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
Alex is now officially in charge of designing his own room. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
He'll get to tell Mum and Dad what to do. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
And it all needs to be finished in just four days. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
Right. Now we've got the keys, Alex, I'm going to take you to meet | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
somebody who'll make all your design dreams come true. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
Ready? Come on, then. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
Oh, no! | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
What have we done here? | 0:06:06 | 0:06:07 | |
Top designer Becci Sharkey | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
specialises in performing miracle makeovers from scratch. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
There's no idea too big. If you can imagine it, I can design it! | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
She's the perfect person to help Alex turn Mum and Dad's garden | 0:06:17 | 0:06:22 | |
into the room of his dreams. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:23 | |
Here's the garden space. What do we want to do with it? | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
-Make a garden office. -You're interested in business. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
Is that the main focus of it? | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
I'd like a place where I can sort out my profits. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
But also have some fun as well. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
What are the must-have items? | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
A desk which you'd expect someone high up to have. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:45 | |
An office chair, maybe a swivel chair. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
Because they need to build an office and chill-out space from scratch, | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
they need to get a feel for what will go where. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
This might not be the exact size, but what do you think? | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
Maybe half of it as a hidden games room | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
where I can have my mates over. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
Then a step up to the office section. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
I could have the desk, the computer, round this area. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
-OK. -And my swivel chair. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
That's the layout sorted. Time to get some ideas down on paper. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
Or should I say glass? | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
I've got some special pens and Mum says it's OK cos they wipe off. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
We'll sketch out on this glass what the space will look like. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
Grab a pen. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:29 | |
What kind of features do you want this desk to have? | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
-A little drink holder, like a dip into the desk. -OK. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
Where you can stick your drinks. So say that was the seat there. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
And you'd have your drink over here. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
-Would you be able to reach that? -You could just walk round. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:50 | |
Alex's design is really beginning to take shape now. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
-So, once they've cleaned up... -Let's go! | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
..Becci takes him to have a look round one of the BBC's offices. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
This is a brand-new state-of-the-art building, and new home to CBBC. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:05 | |
So it should be a great place to get ideas. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
Alex, I've brought you to this cool office space. What do you think? | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
I like the glass and the pattern. And I like the modern look. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:16 | |
Do you like the skyline of the space? The big blocky skyline? | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
It's good cos it makes everything stand out. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
If you fancy designing your own room, | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
why not look for ideas outside the home, too? | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
-It's working for Alex! -That's really cool. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
Already he's thinking about things to include in his room. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
There's so many colours. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
I wanted to show you this space to show that offices aren't boring. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
Oh, they're comfy. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
You sink in to the sofa and feel that feeling of comfort. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:55 | |
I've got a camera for you to snap anything you like the look of. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
How can you get so many colours in one carpet? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
All the different types of wallpaper. It was just great! | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
I'm glad he loves the colours, but he's got quite a small space | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
and too many colours might be a bit over the top. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
So this bit's all about desks and chairs. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
-What do you reckon? -Oh, yeah! | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
The fact it can spin, it can go back and forwards. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
I love the fact that it spins. You can do a 360 turn. It's great. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:30 | |
And you've got your desk. I'd prefer mine to do more things | 0:09:30 | 0:09:35 | |
like maybe a drink holder. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:36 | |
And I'd like a secret stash place! | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
All the different types of chairs, the fact that they're all modern | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
just caught my eye. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
Alex doesn't really like the desks. They're boring. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
We'll have to make something ourselves. Design something. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
I hope we can pull it off! | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
Next, Becci shows Alex the funky wall coverings. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Forget flowers and cars. The writing's on the wall | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
with lots of differently-shaped letters called fonts or typefaces. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
Look at this wall. It's really cool. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
Could I have something like this in mine? Maybe names and stuff, | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
-but like headline names of famous people? -Yeah! | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
I think the fact that I can create my own font and have it on stickers, | 0:10:14 | 0:10:19 | |
notepads, et cetera, it'll just be great! | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
-Is this a door? -Yeah, it's a door into the wall. It's all hidden. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
You don't see it cos of the type. But it's actually a lockable door. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
That's clever! | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
This design trip with Becci has been great. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
It's inspired me on how to make my own office. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
With Alex now bursting with so many ideas, | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
it'll be a tough job fitting them all in to that garden space. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
Becci gets straight down to business | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
and is soon ready to reveal her cunning plan! | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
We're standing in the space where the office is going to go. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
-What inspiration do you find? -Alex had loads of great ideas. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
He took loads of photos. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
The colours are fab. That doesn't really look like an office. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
Maybe four or five colours mixing in to each other. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:04 | |
Will that work, Becci? | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
I think some bold colours with a couple of subtler colours is good. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:10 | |
Can I see the final layout, the design? | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
It's like two separate rooms, but people will only see the one room. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
That's what we've done. The left-hand side is office space. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
But they won't see this side entrance. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
Your brother and sister won't be able to get in | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
to your chill-out area. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
It's really what I wanted. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
It's like a secret den! | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
It's great, honestly. I'm really happy. Thanks. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:37 | |
Now Alex is happy, he needs to put the I Want My Own Room team to work! | 0:11:37 | 0:11:42 | |
Let's get started on my room! | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
It's time for Mum and Dad to get properly kitted out. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
You've got your own I Want My Own Room t-shirts | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
and boiler suits. Hand Mum and Dad's over to them. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
You are now going to be clearing away all that gubbins behind you! | 0:11:59 | 0:12:05 | |
-Oh, no! -Right, Alex? | 0:12:05 | 0:12:06 | |
You're tidying my room because of my orders! | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
Thanks, Alex. Thank you(!) | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
That is you told, Mum and Dad! | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
Guys, go and get your clothes on. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
I can see my office getting delivered. I'm really excited. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
It's like, "What's going to be in there? What's coming next?" | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
It's great! | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
Along with getting the keys to the house, | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
Alex also gets to tell Mum and Dad what to do! | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
I've got my clipboard and I've got my pen. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
First on my list is to clear the garden. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
You've got five minutes to clear all this rubbish. Go! | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
-Time's ticking! -Alex, you're a slave driver! | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
It's what you do to me. It's payback time! | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
Get used to it, Mum. Later, you'll be sorting through that stuff | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
at the village hall, deciding what to keep and what to chuck. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
-Come on! You have to go faster! -I'm not used to hard work, Alex! | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
-I can tell! -I wouldn't like you to be my boss! | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
Hurry up! | 0:13:02 | 0:13:03 | |
They boss me around. So it's time I bossed them around! | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
Two minutes, 17, 18, 19, 20! Tick-tock! | 0:13:06 | 0:13:11 | |
They are working hard. There'll be more of that in the next few days! | 0:13:11 | 0:13:16 | |
Now the space is cleared, what does Alex think of the progress so far? | 0:13:24 | 0:13:29 | |
It didn't look that big when we put it out with ribbon. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
But now it's starting to look quite big! | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
As one of three kids in a family of five, | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
there's no room for Alex to spread out. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
So we've got Mum and Dad to hand over the keys to the house | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
and they've agreed he can turn the garden into the room of his dreams. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
But with just three days to go, it's all hands on deck | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
before Alex gives it his seal of approval. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
Three! | 0:13:59 | 0:14:00 | |
Day Two. The I Want My Own Room team make an early start on Alex's room, | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
despite the rain. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
Good weather for ducks! | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
The office gets a floor and the team invent their own language! | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
UNINTELLIGIBLE INSTRUCTIONS | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
Come again? | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
What Stewart meant was that when they join the last piece of wood, | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
they should spin the floor and it'll look neater! | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
The family are sleeping elsewhere. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
How does Alex feel about his second day as project manager? | 0:14:42 | 0:14:47 | |
I couldn't get to sleep because I was thinking about the day ahead! | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
And what about Mum and Dad? | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
I feel really excited and raring to go. I want to get stuck in and help. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:58 | |
That's the spirit! I'm not sure Dad feels the same way! | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
Let's hope he wakes up when they check on progress | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
and Alex dishes out the jobs for the day. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
OK, Mum, you'll do the panels to make sure of the back wall. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
Dad, you're sorting out the windows. Let's get cracking. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
You're an expert on these, aren't you? | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
Careful of your thumbs! | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
-Even it out a bit. -I'm getting the hang of this now, Alex! | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
-Is that OK? -I think it is, yeah. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
Let us finish it off. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
Expert! | 0:15:51 | 0:15:52 | |
With the walls to Alex's office now up, | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
Becci checks he's happy with the layout before the wall goes in. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
Tell me which side do you want everything on? | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
Well, probably the office space there. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
-And the other place here. -Brilliant. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
Good. We'll have your desk and everything over there. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
Everybody will see that bit. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
Here, your secret area where you can hang out with your friends. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
And this is where the secret door will go. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
Shh! Don't tell anyone! | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
Alex loved the colour and shapes of lettering and logos | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
he saw on the design trip. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:25 | |
Becci's decided to help make some of his own. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
Every good company or businessman needs a logo. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
A little motif or picture that makes it easily recognisable, | 0:16:30 | 0:16:35 | |
sometimes the simplest of things. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:36 | |
So what about a name for the company? | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
Alex's something? Have you got any ideas? | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
It's going to be the second name of the road I was brought up in. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
It's called Groves. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
Why not design your own logo? | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
Alex wants to use the name of the road he grew up on | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
but yours could include just about anything! | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
Think about what you want to say, | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
then get creative with shapes and colour. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
Then the red going round cos that's a darker colour out of the two. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:05 | |
If you know where I'm going! | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
The orange round, so the darker colours are round the ridge. Inside. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
-So like a shadow. -The lighter colours. -That's cool. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
Maybe you could use pictures in your room, too. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
-I would like to add something. -OK. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
A computer. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
We'll have to wait till later to see Alex's final design. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
-I'll get this printed up, and you check on Mum and Dad! -OK. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
Boo! | 0:17:31 | 0:17:32 | |
-How are you doing? -We're getting there. Help us if you want. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
-I'm OK, thank you. -You enjoy yourself. Chill out(!) | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
That's what he'll be doing in the spot you're kneeling in. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
Once you've cleared it up, that is! | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
How does Alex feel his new room is taking shape? | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
I can't believe all the progress made over two days. Ten out of ten. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:52 | |
If it was out of a million, it's a million out of a million! | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
I'd say he was pretty happy! | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
But I have a feeling that things might be about to change. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
There are just two days left to get Alex's room finished | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
and there's a problem! | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
All it's done since we started this build is rain. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
We should be painting this structure today, but the paint won't dry. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
If the paint won't dry, we can't finish the build. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
If we can't do that, then Alex won't have his own room! | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
Before Alex arrives, Becci has a job for me. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
-What are we up to, Becci? -I know what Alex wants from his design, | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
so we can keep the rest of it a secret. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
Let's stick these up so he can't peek! | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
-It's exciting, isn't it? -Yeah. -It's going to be great. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
Because Alex liked the look of the buildings on their design trip, | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
Becci wants to bring the same idea to the outside of his | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
with a difference! | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
We're going to paint it, making a shape that looks like a city. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:55 | |
Brilliant. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
Hold up - where are Mum and Dad sneaking off to? | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
-What do you think you're doing? -Busted, Mum and Dad. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
I was just making sure it was all secure! | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
-They need punishing. -Yep. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
We're sending you to the village hall to sort out the garden stuff. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:16 | |
What are you going to chuck out, what will you keep and what recycle? | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
It's meant to be a surprise! God, you know! | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
Can't get the parents, these days! | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
While Mum and Dad start unloading stuff from the back garden, | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
back at the house, Becci spots something from Alex's bedroom | 0:19:29 | 0:19:35 | |
to use in the final design. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
Alex's old shelf is cut, sanded and glued, making a funky coat hook! | 0:19:37 | 0:19:42 | |
-I like it. -It's good. -I'm loving the paint colour. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
It's like the one I have on my logo. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
-Shall we get stuck in? -Yep. -Great! See you later! -Cheers, Becci. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
Got any ideas what's going on out there at the moment? | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
I have a rough idea but to be honest, I'm quite excited | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
because I just want it to stay as a surprise, really. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
-I'm amazed. -Are you? -And so is my mum and dad. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
Talking of Mum and Dad, how are they getting on, sorting stuff? | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
You need to sort through everything from the garden | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
and decide what to keep, throw or give to charity. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
I don't like to get rid of them, so just put it in the "keep" box. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:19 | |
Oh, look at all this! | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
This is 13 years old. It's as old as Alex. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
Come on, Mum! No time for messing about. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
What do you reckon your mates will say when they see it? | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
They'll probably be amazed! | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
Loads of friends coming round to look at it! | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
Especially on parties and stuff. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
My birthday and stuff. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
I can't even say we'll find treasure, cos we won't. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
She's not the only one trying to find cash amongst the trash. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
Last year, a second-hand toy sold for £100,000! | 0:20:48 | 0:20:52 | |
That's enough to buy... | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
Maybe it's time Alex paid them a visit! | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
-Alex, I reckon that's a job well done. -Yep. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
Hello? Hello, Alex. How are you? You're on your way here? | 0:21:02 | 0:21:08 | |
Hey, Mum and Dad. How's it going? | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
Not many things in there, is there? | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
You can put that in and help us out a bit. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
No, you can do that, can't you? | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
Not getting much done, are you? | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
-We're trying our best! -Come on, then, lads. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
Let's get stuck in. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
-How about your dart board, Alex? -Is there any darts? -No arrows, no. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
So junk. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:30 | |
Charity? | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
It was great to see my mum and dad clearing all the stuff. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
Mum was happy because she realised there'd be no junk in the garden. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:42 | |
She probably felt disappointed that she had to do it herself. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
The stuff is finally sorted, and most of it is going to be binned. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
The wall between the office and the secret chill-out space | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
Alex asked for is in. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
Becci has even come up with a fun way of going between them. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
A revolving door! | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
One more sleep and we've got to show Alex the finished office. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
And we haven't even finished painting! | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
I'm seriously worried about this. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
While the team work long into the night, | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
Alex settles down before he sees his room tomorrow. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
It's great to be in charge. It's absolutely amazing, | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
the fact that they're building an office just for me! | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
I can't wait until tomorrow. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
It's the final day. The sun's shining, the birds are singing, | 0:22:28 | 0:22:32 | |
the paint's drying! Everything in the garden is lovely. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
But no time for slacking. In less than six hours, | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
Alex will want to move in to his own room! | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
First on the list is to get Alex's desk ready for the office. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
After minor adjustments, it's ready to paint. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
I think it's going to look fab! | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
But is it going to fit? | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
It'll be really tight. He has to get past the desk and sit down. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
Hmm. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
Becci decides to get everything else ready before testing the desk. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |
So I'm checking out the side door to Alex's secret chill-out zone. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
Remember, there didn't use to be a door here. Now there is a door! | 0:23:06 | 0:23:11 | |
But it's a secret! | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
With the tent down and the roof up, the team are feeling the pressure. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:20 | |
What? It fits perfectly! | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
And last-minute hitches threaten to hold everything up. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
They're the wrong screws! | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
But Becci is calm under the pressure | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
and is getting creative. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
I've noticed Alex loves his Union Jacks. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
So I'm making one for inside his office - but with a difference! | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
Time for me to flag up just how long we've got to finish. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:43 | |
Designers, decorators and dog's-bodies, | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
we have just three hours before Alex comes home | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
and we have to be finished! Over and out! | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
'I'm going round in circles, here!' Guys, | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
mucking around aside, reckon you can get this done? | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
-Yeah! -Yeah? | 0:24:01 | 0:24:02 | |
Yeah. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
-Good luck. -Thank you! | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
While the finishing touches go into position, | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
an excited Alex and the rest of the family head back to the house | 0:24:10 | 0:24:14 | |
after a tense day's wait. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:15 | |
Alex has done a good job of those. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
I'm hoping to feel quite made up, | 0:24:17 | 0:24:20 | |
although I am quite nervous cos I want to really see what's gone on. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:24 | |
It'll brighten up our lives as well as the garden! | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
No pressure! But after one of the biggest challenges we've faced... | 0:24:27 | 0:24:33 | |
Come on! | 0:24:33 | 0:24:34 | |
..the office is finally ready for the boss of this build | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
to tell us what he thinks. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
Remember four days ago how you felt when we turned up and took over? | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
I was quite nervous, actually. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
It's time to hand the keys back to Mum and Dad. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
Come on, Alex! | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
Thank you. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:53 | |
-Are you ready to see the finished room? -Yeah, I am, yeah! | 0:24:53 | 0:24:57 | |
Mum, do the honours. Let us in. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
Four days ago, Alex was sharing a room with his brother | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
but had no room to work on schemes or have his mates over. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
We saw potential in the only available space, the garden. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
And Alex, with the I Want My Own Room team, transformed it! | 0:25:10 | 0:25:15 | |
Alex wanted two rooms for the price of one. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
A high-spec office and games room. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
It took all Becci's know-how to create an outstanding unique space. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:27 | |
The logo Alex designed has taken pride of place | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
and we even gave him a view with these giant back-lit photo frames! | 0:25:31 | 0:25:36 | |
With everything riding on a positive reaction, | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
it's down to Alex to tell us what he thinks. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
One... | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
..two... | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
..three! | 0:25:47 | 0:25:48 | |
Oh! The fact that it started off with no garden | 0:25:48 | 0:25:52 | |
and I've ended up after a few days with this! Oh! | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
I really thank you. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
In we go. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
It's posh! | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
'Hi, Alex. It's Duncan Bannatyne here, from Dragons' Den. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
'Always remember, even the simplest ideas can reap the biggest rewards. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
'Good luck.' | 0:26:11 | 0:26:13 | |
Oh, yes, nice one, that! | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
-Pull that back, and what's that? -A little computer, is it? | 0:26:16 | 0:26:21 | |
Oh, no! | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
It's a little space where I can put my stuff in! Like a safe thing! | 0:26:23 | 0:26:28 | |
There's another surprise. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
A Union Jack! What's this here? | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
That is a special game. You get the balls and throw them from here. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
-If you get them down the tubes, those are the points you get. -Posh! | 0:26:38 | 0:26:42 | |
Sit on the bean bags and do it. That's a DVD projector. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:46 | |
So if you put DVDs in, you can watch them on here? | 0:26:46 | 0:26:50 | |
-Uh-huh! -Oh, that is really, really good! | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
Phew! I think we cracked it! What do Mum and Dad think? | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
Oh, wow, isn't that fantastic? | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
Wow! | 0:27:00 | 0:27:01 | |
I think Alex's new room is absolutely amazing. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
It's lovely. I'm overwhelmed. It's just fabulous. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |
I feel like I designed it with Becci. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
She helped me design it. Yeah. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
-Alex, are you happy? -I've never been happier. Thanks very much. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
That was one tough build. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
And Alex is one tough cookie to please! | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
But the I Want My Own Room team cracked it | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
and left him with an amazing space he can really call his own. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:32 | |
-I wouldn't like you to be my boss! -Hurry up! | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
Expert! | 0:27:53 | 0:27:54 | |
I'm speechless. I really, really, really like it! | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
