Help! We Bought A Village Season 3

A family of seven from Suffolk begin to renovate a hamlet in rural France, and we meet holiday hosts Ben and Susana, who've turned a Spanish village into luxury B&Bs. Plus, a chance to catch up with serial renovators Paul and Yip, as they battle storms and burst riverbanks at their settlement in Normandy.

Justin and Mel return to their village in France after the winter only to find it's being strangled by vegetation. At their hamlet in Spain, Ben and Susana are finally able to open their restaurant to guests. Village owners Paul and Yip start to feel overwhelmed by the scale of their renovations.

In France, Justin and Mel find horses in their field and wasps in their attic and Roberto's record-breaking bridge linking two ghost villages is almost ready to open. At Ben and Susana's Spanish hamlet, a cement truck gets stuck on the boggy road. And Normandy village owners Paul and Yip consider selling up.

After a crisis of confidence, Paul and Yip visit Italy to see other village projects, including Roberto's record-breaking bridge. Meanwhile, Justin and Mel discover a First World War document hidden in the beams in their French village. Over in Spain, Ben and Susana's plans to convert a barn into more guest accommodation run into trouble.

Roberto's bridge finally opens to the public, bringing thousands of tourists to the two villages it connects. Paul and Yip have risky work to do to prevent their barn from collapsing. Across at Ben and Susana's village in Spain, there's a party for the organisers of a local fish festival.
