The first episode includes the Unique shed category, which features a 21ft-wide replica of a tea pot, a Titanic museum and a cinema shed with over 3000 films. The Eco category features a garden shed with an allotment built on the roof, a shed made out of 5000 wine bottles, an egg shaped studio and a glass shed built over a pond, which cost just £250.
The competition to find the country's best shed continues with the Summerhouse/Cabin group, which throws up a replica 18th century US frontier cabin, a Gothic grotto decorated with 50,000 seashells, and a scaled down Elizabethan lodge. In the Workshop category, a 1930s garage, complete with classic car restorations, battles it out with a graffiti artist's shed with its own gorilla, an extraordinary bird box production line, and the smallest shed in the whole competition: a music venue with room for just one performer and one audience member.
It's the final of the competition, featuring sheds including a Dad's Army theme, an amusement park, and the Pub Shed. George Clarke and his fellow judges have a tough decision to make.
The Normal shed category includes a dream city miniature railway shed, a 'shedservatory', a boat/shed hybrid; and a cabin which houses a historic collection of British movie memorabilia as well as an authentic home cinema.
There's a Japanese treehouse, a gothic folly, a 1950s Diner, an Anglo Saxon dwelling and George Bernard Shaw's writing hut taking part in the Unique and Historical categories
There's a Pirates of the Caribbean shed this time. There's also a biker pub, a nightclub shed, a distillery, a hillbilly shed, garden pavilion and a Nepalese mountain hut in Bolton.
The competition reaches its climax with cabins, summerhouses, studios, and George Clarke and the team voting for the overall series winner
George looks back at some of the best entrants from Shed of the Year
George Clarke returns to present the 2016 Shed of the Year competition. The first two categories are Unique and Historic, including a Saxon longhouse and rotating shed.
Architect, presenter, lecturer and writer George Clarke's mission to find Britain's 2016 Shed of the Year continues as he and his fellow judges turn their attention to the Eco and Unexpected categories. Eco includes a mud hut in Norfolk and a shed on wheels, while featuring in the new Unexpected category is a shed located on a flood plain designed to rise up with whatever water levels surround it. There is also an allegedly haunted shed, so viewers might wish to make sure they are not alone before tuning in
The 2016 competition arrives at its half-way point, with the turn of the most popular category - Pubs and Entertainment sheds. This fiercely contested group includes an entire Wild West town built out of sheds up in Aberdeen, a faithful replica of a Polish mountain drinking den in rural Ireland, and a nightclub in a Hackney with a truly one-of-a-kind owner. Meanwhile, among the shortlisted sheds in the Workshops and Studios group are a blacksmith's smithy and Star Wars shed. Presenter George Clarke also meets a man with over 300 lawnmowers
This year's Shed Olympics kicks off with the glorious Cabins and Summerhouses category - including a mushroom-shaped shed and the #Girlshed, which is a festival of pink and turquoise, in the style of an LA pool pad. Each shed is hoping to win the public vote and book their place in the grand final. After last years' online storm, a brand new category has been created - called Not a Shed? This category celebrates some of the 75 different varieties of shed out there and embodies the boundary-pushing passion and ingenuity that Shed of the Year is all about.
Round 2 sees George and the judges turn their attention to 'Pubs and Entertainment' and 'Unexpected' Sheds. 'Pubs and Entertainment' is the only place on earth you'll see a West Country whisky den, go head-to-head with an immaculate reproduction of Doctor Who's Tardis. In the 'Unexpected Category', there's a life-saving hedgehog rescue centre, competing with a potentially soul-saving shed, which is also the smallest cathedral in the UK.
George Clarke presents the entries in the Historic and Workshops and Studios categories. Among the finalists in these areas are a shed where a bestselling trilogy of novels were written and a build in Wales used for making prosthetic limbs for children around the world.
George Clarke presides over the final categories, for eco-friendly and budget sheds. Candidates include a stargazing hut in the Scottish highlands, a replica of a Hobbit hole from The Lord of the Rings, a shed built entirely from discarded materials, and a family home that cost just £1000. The judges will then decide which of the eight finalists is this year's winner. Last in the series.
