The building that receives the most votes in each programme will go forward to a live final in September when one building will win the money being raised.
This year's focus is on 21 buildings from rural locations around the UK, all needing help to bring them back to their former glory.
 Looking for rural treasures
These buildings once played a central role in their village and their restoration will inject new life into both the buildings and communities they stand in. Restoration Village touches on the stories and passions of local people who are battling to save them and the communities around them.
