FAQs
Q: Why was the final episode delayed for two years?
Channel 5 said it wanted to “preserve the series” and give each instalment the best audience possible, but never explained the full reason.
Q: How does the 2023 revival differ from the original BBC series?
It’s shorter (four episodes instead of long runs) and produced by Two Four for Channel 5 rather than the BBC, but keeps the core idea of rapid-turnaround community projects.
