Martine Wright's life changed for ever when she boarded a London Underground train on 7 July 2005. Minutes later a suicide bomber detonated his device and Martine, who was standing just three feet away, suffered terrible injuries, losing both legs above the knee. It's been a long, slow recovery, but now Martine and her fiance Nick are ready to look to the future. They are about to marry and have 500,000 pounds to spend on a roomy, accessible bungalow. Which is where Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer come in.
So the hunt is on in Hertfordshire, a county whose charms have also captured the second set of home-seekers, Dina and Pradeep. They are desperate to escape their small flat in London and have already seen up to 50 properties. Dina wants a house that will impress her friends and dismisses the first perfectly nice place she sees as "small", infuriating Kirstie. Yes, there's trouble ahead.
