Think Grand Designs. Think The Good Life. Combine the two, and you will have some idea of the new life the Norman family are creating for themselves in the French Pyrenees. Norman's Folly charts the three year period between coming across a "little piece of paradise" in 2006 and leaving their comfortable life in the UK in 2009. There's no divorce, bankruptcy or other crisis, so favoured by TV producers. Instead, Norman's Folly is a series of insightful and often amusing anecdotes following the family's attempts to undertake everyday activities and integrate into the Basque community.
