Some of the scale was incredible what they managed to do.\u201d<\/p> <p>The series will also see former Bake Off host Toksvig look at the inspiration behind the contestants\u2019 builds, bringing viewers on journeys through real-life stately homes across the UK.<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cI went to proper stately homes and looked at what it should have looked like if it was art deco or regency or whatever, and it\u2019s amazing how close they all got.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Great Big Tiny Design Challenge with Sandi Toksvig will air later this month on More4.
