A second series, featuring 21 buildings in 7 regional heats, appeared on BBC2 in the summer of 2004 . The winner was the Old Grammar School and Saracen's Head in Kings Norton , Birmingham . The host of both series was Griff Rhys Jones , whilst investigating each building in the heats were the show's resident "Ruin Detectives", Marianne Suhr and Ptolemy Dean . The 2003 live Grand Final was co-hosted by Kate Humble , and that in 2004 by Natasha Kaplinsky . The controller of BBC2 , Roly Keating , has stated that there will not be a third series, though a spin-off, ''Restoration Village'', will air in 2006 . On 4 September 2005, Rhys Jones presented a programme, updating viewers as to the progress made by the featured buildings, or otherwise. The Channel 4 programme, '' Demolition '', to be broadcast in December 2005 , was an "answer" to ''Restoration''; instead of voting for a building to be saved, viewers were asked to vote on which eyesore should be demolished. |
