A Place in Spain: Costa Chaos - Episode 1

Dawn Butler and Rocco Barker dream of converting an opulent home in the hills of Barcelona into a posh retreat for paying guests, but the journey is never smooth for this eccentric couple. They miss their first flight out to Spain, and when they do finally arrive, they are largely oblivious to basic business practices, like having a deposit to put on their ideal property! The madcap pair swing from one disaster to the next and all the while, Rocco pines for his London-based band, Flesh For Lulu. Can their optimism – and help from family, friends and Rocco’s band mates – push the project through? We join this unusual couple through their practical and personal highs and lows to find out if the Spanish dream is doomed from the start or destined for success. Originally transmitted in 2007.
