Caroline is the queen of the doll's house world. Every one of her 44 doll's houses has a story within it, from Floozy the showgirl, to an exquisite replica of Caroline's childhood home in Versailles.
Kevin and Susie are among the world's top doll's house makers. Their creations, made side-by-side from the family's Wiltshire shed, can sell for tens thousands of pounds. But nothing they make satisfies perfectionist Kevin.
Mandy has been collecting doll's houses for two years and has a £300-a-month miniatures habit. She has already filled the dining room with doll's houses, but where is she going to put her latest project, a four-floor doll's house mansion that towers over her 4'8'' height? And when does a hobby become an obsession?
Empty-nester Janet has the largest collection of doll's houses in the country. More than 100 dolls' houses line the walls of her house from the kitchen up to the attic, with over 1000 dolls acting out scenarios within them.
Hello Dollies offers a window into these charming houses and explores what drives these British enthusiasts to create tiny, perfect worlds.
