George soon learns that, as well as the usual pressures of embarking on a renovation, there\u2019s also an emotional element to Gordon and Lisa\u2019s project: honouring Gordon\u2019s late mother, Doreen.<\/p>\n<p>Take a peak in the exclusive clip below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;embed&quot;\"> <div class=\"&quot;embed__intrinsic&quot;\"> <video data-video-id=\"6267442164001\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"&quot;default&quot;\" data-application-id=\"\" class=\"&quot;video-js&quot;\" controls=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div> <p>Sadly, Doreen passed away shortly after pub landlord Gordon moved into the farm to look after her.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what his parents would think of his plans for the cattle shed and milk barn, Gordon jokes: \u201c\u2018Why you wasting that money for.\u2019 That\u2019s what my dad would\u2019ve said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy mum would\u2019ve loved it,\u201d he added. \u201cI wish she was still here, and I would have brought her out and she would\u2019ve loved it. Probably whinge about the mess of a garden but it\u2019ll look amazing when it\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p> <p>But, of course, nothing is straightforward when it comes to transforming old buildings into functional modern homes. And with COVID hitting right in the middle of the renovation, Gordon and Lisa will face plenty of challenges in their journey to build something Doreen would be proud of.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll have to tune in to the episode to see if they succeed \u2013 and, of course, enjoy those panoramic shots of beautiful interiors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>George Clarke\u2019s Remarkable Renovations airs Wednesdays at 9pm on Channel 4.
