Rich House, Poor House

Two families in West Yorkshire with a passion for upcycling live at opposite ends of the wealth divide. Millionaires Katy and Peter swap their luxurious Halifax home with Richard and Sarah's small terraced house in Bradford. Unusually both families believe strongly that money doesn't buy happiness. Will they feel the same after the swap?

Newlyweds Na'im and Sara, owners of a manor house and wedding venue, swap lives with Leah, a single mother of two living in a small council flat and dreaming of starting a tea shop. Leah enjoys a taste of the high life and tries running a tearoom at Na'im's venue, while Na'im learns the challenges of budgeting on a limited income. The swap leads to an emotional meeting, with Na'im and Sara sharing ideas to support Leah's business dreams.

Wealthy father and son Mike and Sam, who run a flight school, swap lives with struggling single mum Claire and daughter Missy who dream of opening a clothes shop together. During the week Claire and Missy find the difficulties of running a family business and start to question their own dream of a fashion store. Meanwhile Mike and Sam find a week buying budget food and clothes brings them closer together and makes them look again at their relationship. 

Two families on either side of the wealth divide in rural Scotland go in search of the good life. Wealthy business owners Monika and Clifford live in an eight-bed, six-bathroom mansion near Loch Lomond, having moved from London to embrace sustainable living. Single Mum Angie and her two daughters Poppy and Gracie live a rural life in Argyll and struggle financially. Angie works part-time for a helpline alongside studying for a law degree and being fully involved in the local community. Sustainability and creativity are key in her life. Monika and Clifford rub shoulders with Angie's local friends as they immerse themselves in village life and get stuck into some arts and crafts, while Angie and her daughters live a life of opulence which doesn't always sit comfortably.
