Setting up a dream home
The second series following Nigel Farrell and Nippi Singh who set up their dream home from a derelict ramshackle farmhouse in the Ardeche region of southeast France. Nigel, so seduced by the home, the lifestyle and his beautiful estate agent Celine, decided to start a new life in the house. But Nigel has one problem, money. Unusually he settles upon the idea of opening an Indian restaurant in this remote corner of France. Nippi is interested enough to fly out and hear Nigel’s ideas. The two discuss matters in their inimitably argumentative style, and look at several different possibilities for their restaurant. The nature of local tourism suggests that business will be strictly seasonal. This eight part series at once hilarious and heart-rending, follows his progress as he tries to overcome minor barriers such as a complete lack of knowledge of Indian cuisine, a lack of restaurant experience, and a lack of French language, in pursuit of the perfect new life. Can it really happen? And if it does, will Celine still be on the scene to share it with him.
