Looking for a new des res? Caroline and Piers have just the thing… Actress and property nut Caroline Quentin joins architect Piers Taylor for a global tour of incredible abodes in this four-part series, which begins with a look at mountain homes.

First is a Californian house constructed using very unexpected materials – the wings and tail fins of an old Boeing 747!

Caroline and Piers – a likeable and entertaining presenting duo – also visit a tranquil house in Arizona, a modern yet subtle dwelling on New Zealand's South Island, and a hexagonal holiday home in the Swiss Alps with a view worthy of a Bond villain’s mountain lair.

Prepare for some serious property envy!
