1
00:00:04,620 --> 00:00:06,980
In the heart of the
French countryside,
2
00:00:06,980 --> 00:00:10,540
a magnificent Chateau stood
uncared for and abandoned.
3
00:00:12,580 --> 00:00:16,340
Then, five years ago,
everything changed...
4
00:00:16,340 --> 00:00:18,980
Wow! Look at that.
5
00:00:18,980 --> 00:00:23,420
..when an intrepid British couple...
Turn, turn, turn.
6
00:00:23,420 --> 00:00:25,060
Wow.
7
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:27,420
..unlocked its front door...
8
00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:29,060
Everything's gorgeous.
9
00:00:29,060 --> 00:00:31,900
..fell in love with its grandeur...
10
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:34,780
..and embarked on an adventure.
11
00:00:34,780 --> 00:00:36,860
Oh, my God.
12
00:00:36,860 --> 00:00:40,860
Now, over three unique episodes,
13
00:00:40,860 --> 00:00:47,100
engineer Dick Strawbridge and his
wife, designer Angel,
14
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:51,260
look back at how their
dream became a reality.
15
00:00:51,260 --> 00:00:53,540
We never went into this project
thinking it was going to be
16
00:00:53,540 --> 00:00:55,620
an easy project.
It was a massive, massive job.
17
00:00:56,780 --> 00:00:58,020
In this special...
18
00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:03,700
..we look at how Dick and Angel have
transformed their 12-acre grounds...
19
00:01:05,820 --> 00:01:08,300
Give it lots of water. Oh, no!
20
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:10,620
..with an abundance of colour...
21
00:01:10,620 --> 00:01:13,220
I'm feeling a bit
smug at the moment.
22
00:01:13,220 --> 00:01:15,060
I've got a cutting garden.
23
00:01:15,060 --> 00:01:17,340
..a wild imagination...
24
00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:20,820
Look at that strong lady!
25
00:01:20,820 --> 00:01:22,420
..slowly but surely...
26
00:01:23,820 --> 00:01:28,220
..turning a neglected wilderness
into a magical outdoors,
27
00:01:28,220 --> 00:01:29,700
bursting with life.
28
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:31,620
Don't crash. Don't crash, you two.
29
00:01:31,620 --> 00:01:34,260
I think all of us just smile when we
go into the garden, don't we?
30
00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:35,420
We do, totally.
31
00:01:36,660 --> 00:01:39,060
Whoa!
32
00:01:49,060 --> 00:01:52,580
Since Dick and Angel first moved
into the chateau five years ago...
33
00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:58,260
..they've devoted every moment
to renovating and restoring it...
34
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:02,420
What if it doesn't grow back?
35
00:02:04,260 --> 00:02:08,140
..working tirelessly to make
it an idyllic place to live.
36
00:02:08,140 --> 00:02:11,700
I can't imagine us not living
in France with the family.
37
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:14,340
Oops! Pick them up,
you're going to lose them.
38
00:02:14,340 --> 00:02:17,260
We moved in believing that
this was our forever home.
39
00:02:17,260 --> 00:02:19,340
And we still do.
And we still do.
40
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:22,180
So, now we're looking back
at how they're bringing
41
00:02:22,180 --> 00:02:24,980
the chateau's magnificent
grounds back to life...
42
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:37,220
Still plenty of aubergines.
43
00:02:37,220 --> 00:02:40,060
..turning the once
abandoned estate
44
00:02:40,060 --> 00:02:44,340
into a magical place for
their family and business.
45
00:02:44,340 --> 00:02:46,380
Shall we go on a date to work?
46
00:02:55,940 --> 00:02:58,220
Today, with 12 acres of grounds,
47
00:02:58,220 --> 00:03:01,540
seven outbuildings and a moat,
48
00:03:01,540 --> 00:03:05,500
Dick and Angel are hoping to create
the perfect outdoor lifestyle.
49
00:03:07,340 --> 00:03:10,500
All right, big boy, we're going to
need some mud for money. Where from?
50
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:12,940
I'm going to show you. Come with me.
51
00:03:12,940 --> 00:03:15,340
Bring... Bring the buckets.
52
00:03:15,340 --> 00:03:19,140
There's nothing that I don't
like about living in the country.
53
00:03:19,140 --> 00:03:20,580
What's not to love?
54
00:03:20,580 --> 00:03:23,700
I don't see how we could have the
life we have got anywhere else
55
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:25,260
other than here.
56
00:03:25,260 --> 00:03:27,140
Dorothy, look. We take this...
57
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:28,140
We throw it in.
58
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:31,900
And what happens... I want
it to go down to the bottom,
59
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:34,060
I want you to pull
it in full of mud.
60
00:03:34,060 --> 00:03:37,700
Pull it in, see if there is any
mud in there. Look at this.
61
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:39,260
Come on, you can do it.
62
00:03:39,260 --> 00:03:42,620
It's really heavy. Daddy,
can you help with pulling it in?
63
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:47,620
Transforming the outdoors is
an ongoing project
64
00:03:47,620 --> 00:03:50,940
but, for Dick and Angel,
there are no regrets.
65
00:03:50,940 --> 00:03:52,460
The chateau's wonderful
66
00:03:52,460 --> 00:03:54,140
but it's the old park, the estate
67
00:03:54,140 --> 00:03:55,700
that makes it very
special, isn't it?
68
00:03:55,700 --> 00:03:57,220
It's a lot of work, isn't it?
69
00:03:57,220 --> 00:03:58,540
They're doing it, look!
70
00:03:58,540 --> 00:04:02,060
Yes! Nearly there!
71
00:04:02,060 --> 00:04:05,180
Come on, it's nearly up. It's nearly
up. Come on, you can do it.
72
00:04:05,180 --> 00:04:07,700
You have to lift it over
the top, Arthur. Mummy...
73
00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:09,820
Oh! Oh, no.
74
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:14,940
I can't imagine leaving here
without going out in a box.
75
00:04:14,940 --> 00:04:19,220
Even then, I'd probably like to
be planted somewhere quite close.
76
00:04:19,220 --> 00:04:21,540
With plenty of work
still to be done,
77
00:04:21,540 --> 00:04:24,460
and to appreciate the
transformation so far,
78
00:04:24,460 --> 00:04:27,580
we journey back to 2014
79
00:04:27,580 --> 00:04:30,500
when they first laid eyes
on the chateau's grounds.
80
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:32,860
Come on, son,
let's go and have a look.
81
00:04:32,860 --> 00:04:35,260
That's a walled garden.
That's a walled garden.
82
00:04:38,980 --> 00:04:41,940
Surrounded by 2.5-metre-high walls,
83
00:04:41,940 --> 00:04:45,660
Dick had found his
very own sanctuary.
84
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:50,180
Oh, my God. All 2,000 square
metres of it.
85
00:04:50,180 --> 00:04:52,380
Just step very carefully here.
86
00:04:52,380 --> 00:04:54,340
We spotted the walled garden
87
00:04:54,340 --> 00:04:56,700
but it was only when we stepped up
those steps and saw it,
88
00:04:56,700 --> 00:04:58,020
did I get overly excited.
89
00:04:58,020 --> 00:04:59,500
South is that direction.
90
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:01,340
You see all the
wires going up the side?
91
00:05:01,340 --> 00:05:02,900
That's where there's been plants
92
00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:04,700
in the past growing
against the walls
93
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:06,820
cos, when the walls have sunshine,
they get warm.
94
00:05:06,820 --> 00:05:09,460
You can grow all
sorts of exotics here.
95
00:05:09,460 --> 00:05:11,340
150 years ago, the walled garden
96
00:05:11,340 --> 00:05:14,340
would have supplied the main house
97
00:05:14,340 --> 00:05:17,260
with fresh fruit,
flowers and vegetables.
98
00:05:17,260 --> 00:05:18,940
This, in its own right,
99
00:05:18,940 --> 00:05:21,420
is years and years of work
100
00:05:21,420 --> 00:05:24,220
to turn it into
something phenomenal.
101
00:05:24,220 --> 00:05:28,180
The weeds were 40-foot-tall sycamore
trees, you know what I mean?
102
00:05:28,180 --> 00:05:29,700
it has been neglected.
103
00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:32,500
Yeah, I think your
biggest frustration
104
00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:36,260
was that you knew you couldn't do
anything in the walled garden
105
00:05:36,260 --> 00:05:39,700
for the first part because obviously
we had the house to sort out.
106
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:42,340
My biggest frustration
was you bought a chateau
107
00:05:42,340 --> 00:05:43,980
as well as the walled garden.
108
00:05:45,540 --> 00:05:47,900
In 2017, though,
109
00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:50,500
Dick finally got his chance
110
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:53,900
and embarked on bringing the
walled garden back to life.
111
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:55,780
OK, so, trois, quatre.
112
00:05:59,580 --> 00:06:02,140
The first things
to go were the scores
113
00:06:02,140 --> 00:06:03,420
of self-seeded sycamores.
114
00:06:06,340 --> 00:06:10,220
I fell in love with this place
mainly because of the walled garden.
115
00:06:10,220 --> 00:06:13,060
The chateau's pretty
but this is something
116
00:06:13,060 --> 00:06:15,460
that is just like a dream
for anybody who works outside,
117
00:06:15,460 --> 00:06:17,540
has a garden.
118
00:06:21,780 --> 00:06:23,300
No messing around.
119
00:06:32,380 --> 00:06:35,300
All walled gardens have a
very similar feel to them
120
00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:37,260
in that there's a square
121
00:06:37,260 --> 00:06:39,980
divided into four main squares.
122
00:06:39,980 --> 00:06:44,620
What that does is that gives us
four distinct growing areas.
123
00:06:44,620 --> 00:06:47,420
South is down here, the sun shines.
124
00:06:47,420 --> 00:06:49,700
This hot part up here,
125
00:06:49,700 --> 00:06:52,060
things should grow faster than
the bit down here
126
00:06:52,060 --> 00:06:54,060
cos this is in the
shade of the wall -
127
00:06:54,060 --> 00:06:57,380
which means, if I plant a plum
tree here and a plum tree there,
128
00:06:57,380 --> 00:06:59,900
there's a six-week difference
in when they should be ready.
129
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:01,860
That's really extended my season
130
00:07:01,860 --> 00:07:04,060
by just going
diagonally across the garden.
131
00:07:09,980 --> 00:07:12,020
But before he could grow anything,
132
00:07:12,020 --> 00:07:15,300
Dick needed to clear
the 2,000 square metre site.
133
00:07:24,020 --> 00:07:26,580
With the land prepped and his
fruit and vegetable
134
00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:28,180
planting plan drawn up,
135
00:07:28,180 --> 00:07:30,780
Dick was already working
the soil by spring.
136
00:07:33,580 --> 00:07:35,340
It's glorious weather.
137
00:07:35,340 --> 00:07:36,580
It's warming up.
138
00:07:36,580 --> 00:07:38,620
We have to get things growing.
139
00:07:38,620 --> 00:07:42,180
The clock is ticking, and
nature doesn't wait for you,
140
00:07:42,180 --> 00:07:43,900
you've just got to get into it.
141
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:45,980
So, getting a greenhouse,
getting a cold frame,
142
00:07:45,980 --> 00:07:47,980
starting producing our grub,
143
00:07:47,980 --> 00:07:49,380
I'm very excited.
144
00:07:49,380 --> 00:07:51,060
This is fun for me.
145
00:07:57,940 --> 00:08:01,060
But to restore the greenhouse
he wanted so badly,
146
00:08:01,060 --> 00:08:03,500
Dick needed builder mate Steve
147
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:06,900
to help save one of the
few original bits left.
148
00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:09,260
The arch has sunk but the
keystone's still in place.
149
00:08:09,260 --> 00:08:11,100
I want that arch as it is.
150
00:08:20,980 --> 00:08:23,620
It is actually holding
it up, isn't it?
151
00:08:25,060 --> 00:08:26,340
Right, the arch is solid.
152
00:08:28,420 --> 00:08:31,700
To his delight, Dick's
walled garden was slowly
153
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:33,900
and steadily coming back to life.
154
00:08:40,580 --> 00:08:42,860
All he needed was Angel by his side
155
00:08:42,860 --> 00:08:45,100
to make his garden picture perfect.
156
00:08:46,140 --> 00:08:48,300
God, there's so much to learn.
157
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:49,900
You're going to have to...
158
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:51,740
Tell me what to do. Wow.
159
00:08:51,740 --> 00:08:53,820
Angela said to me,
when I first met her,
160
00:08:53,820 --> 00:08:56,580
she was never going
to become a land girl.
161
00:08:56,580 --> 00:08:59,180
Having said that, she wants flowers.
162
00:08:59,180 --> 00:09:01,300
I don't really grow flowers,
163
00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:03,780
so she's going to have to
get in there and get involved.
164
00:09:03,780 --> 00:09:06,060
Where will my flowers go?
So, where do you want to plant them?
165
00:09:06,060 --> 00:09:09,060
I'm asking you cos you're planting
them. Am I going to plant them ?
166
00:09:09,060 --> 00:09:10,580
I guess so.
167
00:09:10,580 --> 00:09:12,900
One thing that I don't think
I ever really appreciated
168
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:15,380
was when flowers were
actually in season.
169
00:09:15,380 --> 00:09:19,860
I mean, the first time that I ever
saw a load of bluebells
170
00:09:19,860 --> 00:09:24,940
was incredible.
I'd never seen a snowdrop...
171
00:09:24,940 --> 00:09:28,180
Snowdrops, the primroses coming
through, the daffodils.
172
00:09:28,180 --> 00:09:30,660
Primroses. Yeah!
It's good, isn't it?
173
00:09:30,660 --> 00:09:32,940
I did not... They come and
go, and you have to enjoy them.
174
00:09:34,180 --> 00:09:37,500
But before she learned
about floral seasons,
175
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:41,180
Angel had to first learn
about growing them.
176
00:09:41,180 --> 00:09:43,260
Do know what you want to plant yet?
177
00:09:43,260 --> 00:09:45,060
I've got a bit of an idea.
178
00:09:45,060 --> 00:09:47,420
You might need to start
thinking what you want. OK.
179
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:49,540
Pace that out, see how
many Angela steps it is. Right.
180
00:09:55,940 --> 00:09:58,300
Dick is desperate to
get me in the garden.
181
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:04,780
Honestly, within a week of meeting
me, he sent me these boots.
182
00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:08,060
I don't know if I'll ever
consider myself a land girl.
183
00:10:08,060 --> 00:10:10,460
I kind of like the outfit.
184
00:10:10,460 --> 00:10:13,860
Yeah, I've always had
boiler suits, always.
185
00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:15,980
And my little ties in my hair,
186
00:10:15,980 --> 00:10:18,180
so I think I look like a land girl.
187
00:10:18,180 --> 00:10:21,380
Bigger steps, bigger steps,
you were doing bigger.
188
00:10:21,380 --> 00:10:22,900
12.
189
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:24,300
12? OK.
190
00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:26,060
If I'm going to plant,
191
00:10:26,060 --> 00:10:27,940
I need nothing to sting the children
192
00:10:27,940 --> 00:10:30,580
and I can come out here
and plant with the children.
193
00:10:30,580 --> 00:10:33,220
That's the thing I need.
How are you going to do that?
194
00:10:33,220 --> 00:10:35,220
Well, I'm going to need it prepped.
195
00:10:36,220 --> 00:10:38,420
It doesn't work like
that in the garden.
196
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:40,460
It doesn't work like
that in the garden.
197
00:10:40,460 --> 00:10:42,260
Gardening is doing the prep.
198
00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:50,940
And two years later,
199
00:10:50,940 --> 00:10:54,620
the walled garden today
is almost unrecognisable
200
00:10:54,620 --> 00:10:58,780
from the lost and overgrown gem that
Dick discovered five years ago.
201
00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:09,100
The 40 fruit trees,
rows of vegetables...
202
00:11:10,540 --> 00:11:13,860
..and cutting garden,
giving it a timeless look
203
00:11:13,860 --> 00:11:18,100
that even the chateau's original
gardeners would probably recognise.
204
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:20,860
Anybody who spends any
time gardening at all
205
00:11:20,860 --> 00:11:22,300
just wants a walled garden.
206
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:25,780
It's got so many ways of using it
with the walls, the beds, the paths,
207
00:11:25,780 --> 00:11:29,460
and it's a special area dedicated
solely to the worship of gardening.
208
00:11:31,340 --> 00:11:34,340
And the botanical oasis of the
walled garden
209
00:11:34,340 --> 00:11:37,660
has gone on to inspire
Angel's unique wallpaper
210
00:11:37,660 --> 00:11:41,660
and her extraordinary
design in the potagerie suite.
211
00:11:43,940 --> 00:11:45,900
The turret's curving walls,
212
00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:48,140
a floral love letter
213
00:11:48,140 --> 00:11:49,940
from Angel to Dick.
214
00:11:49,940 --> 00:11:52,820
I think I've found...
Here's one here, look.
215
00:11:52,820 --> 00:11:54,340
But for the family,
216
00:11:54,340 --> 00:11:56,740
the walled garden is
also a magical place
217
00:11:56,740 --> 00:11:59,460
filled with special memories.
218
00:11:59,460 --> 00:12:02,660
Hold up, I used to do this
when I was young all the time.
219
00:12:02,660 --> 00:12:04,580
Pass me this rhubarb.
220
00:12:04,580 --> 00:12:07,980
You like soured sweets,
Arthur Donald Strawbridge.
221
00:12:07,980 --> 00:12:09,060
Sort of!
222
00:12:09,060 --> 00:12:10,780
Then watch this.
223
00:12:10,780 --> 00:12:14,020
We're going to do a cheers and eat
them all at the same time.
224
00:12:14,020 --> 00:12:15,860
One for... One for Dorothy,
225
00:12:15,860 --> 00:12:18,180
one for Arthur, one for Mummy.
226
00:12:18,180 --> 00:12:19,660
Don't eat it yet, don't eat it yet.
227
00:12:19,660 --> 00:12:21,620
One for Daddy.
228
00:12:21,620 --> 00:12:23,300
Cheers.
229
00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:24,500
And it's fresh rhubarb.
230
00:12:24,500 --> 00:12:26,180
Put it in for sourness. Go on.
231
00:12:28,340 --> 00:12:30,020
Sour!
232
00:12:30,020 --> 00:12:32,580
I like it.
233
00:12:32,580 --> 00:12:34,540
No? Mmm.
234
00:12:45,940 --> 00:12:49,140
From the moment they bought
the chateau in 2014,
235
00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:51,820
Dick and Angel
faced an enormous challenge.
236
00:12:52,940 --> 00:12:55,660
It took quite a bit of adjusting
for you, didn't it? A little bit.
237
00:12:55,660 --> 00:12:58,860
There was a lot of flies,
a lot of spiders,
238
00:12:58,860 --> 00:13:01,340
a lot of creepy crawlies.
239
00:13:01,340 --> 00:13:03,700
Whoa! Oh, that's not nice.
240
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:06,020
No, no, no! I really don't like it!
241
00:13:06,020 --> 00:13:09,500
I've learnt so much about nature.
242
00:13:11,020 --> 00:13:14,580
In this unique episode, we're
looking back at how together,
243
00:13:14,580 --> 00:13:17,100
they continue to restore
and transform
244
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:19,020
their once neglected gardens.
245
00:13:20,740 --> 00:13:23,060
And when they first viewed
the chateau's grounds
246
00:13:23,060 --> 00:13:26,300
five years ago,
there was one particular outbuilding
247
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:28,420
that captivated both their hearts.
248
00:13:29,980 --> 00:13:33,380
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Right, this is the Orangery.
249
00:13:39,420 --> 00:13:42,980
For Angel especially,
it was a dream come true,
250
00:13:42,980 --> 00:13:46,060
as captured in this video
diary footage.
251
00:13:46,060 --> 00:13:48,740
This is really special, isn't it?
252
00:13:48,740 --> 00:13:52,020
This place is really light and airy.
253
00:13:52,020 --> 00:13:54,220
Do you know what?
It feels nice in here.
254
00:13:54,220 --> 00:13:59,060
Seeing the Orangery
made a perfect location
255
00:13:59,060 --> 00:14:00,580
even more perfect.
256
00:14:04,180 --> 00:14:06,340
You wanted an Orangery
because you always thought
257
00:14:06,340 --> 00:14:08,500
it was a very elegant space.
Oh, it's just...
258
00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:11,740
How could you not want one?
They're such a beautiful...
259
00:14:11,740 --> 00:14:15,020
Such a beautiful thing, um,
a winter garden.
260
00:14:15,020 --> 00:14:18,860
But there's also a beauty
that you're just looking out
261
00:14:18,860 --> 00:14:20,940
of these really gorgeous windows
262
00:14:20,940 --> 00:14:25,620
into this botanical garden,
that's just very charming.
263
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:30,300
As well as housing exotic plants,
the Orangery
264
00:14:30,300 --> 00:14:33,740
would have originally offered
a place to entertain guests -
265
00:14:33,740 --> 00:14:37,460
a point not missed
by Angel's mother, Jenny.
266
00:14:37,460 --> 00:14:40,540
This might be part of your wedding
business as well.
267
00:14:40,540 --> 00:14:43,660
We got so occupied with moving in
and living here...
268
00:14:43,660 --> 00:14:45,300
You haven't thought about
the business?
269
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:48,020
Yeah, we haven't thought about
that side of the business.
270
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:52,340
So Dick and Angel saw
an opportunity to restore
271
00:14:52,340 --> 00:14:56,140
the Orangery for their planned
weddings and events business -
272
00:14:56,140 --> 00:15:00,780
hosting parties, just as
it would have done 100 years ago.
273
00:15:02,460 --> 00:15:05,580
I think it's fair to say the chateau
was a bit of a party place.
274
00:15:05,580 --> 00:15:07,780
And I think this place would have
been full of music
275
00:15:07,780 --> 00:15:09,220
and laughter at one stage.
276
00:15:09,220 --> 00:15:10,740
Nearly everything we've found
277
00:15:10,740 --> 00:15:14,180
has been down the direction
of entertaining.
278
00:15:14,180 --> 00:15:18,580
The cider barrels, the cave,
and all the empty bottles.
279
00:15:18,580 --> 00:15:22,340
And remember the... Was it Jacques?
No, what's his name?
280
00:15:22,340 --> 00:15:23,740
Jean... Jean Francois.
281
00:15:23,740 --> 00:15:27,300
Jean Francois, he's in his 80s,
282
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:31,060
and he actually remembers them
doing tea parties in the Orangery.
283
00:15:31,060 --> 00:15:32,300
SHE LAUGHS
284
00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:35,780
I'd say the Orangery ladies
having tea parties. Lovely.
285
00:15:38,580 --> 00:15:43,020
Angel had a vision for the Orangery
as an intimate event space,
286
00:15:43,020 --> 00:15:45,780
nestled in the chateau's
wild flower meadow.
287
00:15:47,460 --> 00:15:50,260
But to achieve it,
they had to do a lot of work.
288
00:15:52,380 --> 00:15:54,260
From installing electricity...
289
00:15:55,900 --> 00:15:57,900
HE LAUGHS
290
00:16:00,780 --> 00:16:03,580
..to creating the perfect
backdrop for events.
291
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:12,380
And in 2015, just nine months
after moving in,
292
00:16:12,380 --> 00:16:14,380
it was given a trial run...
293
00:16:14,380 --> 00:16:16,900
CHEERING
294
00:16:16,900 --> 00:16:20,460
We're married!
..at Dick and Angel's own wedding.
295
00:16:31,980 --> 00:16:34,980
You may notice that we've done
a lot of work on this place,
296
00:16:34,980 --> 00:16:36,620
lots more to do.
297
00:16:36,620 --> 00:16:39,820
On your plate, you've got a knife,
fork and a spoon,
298
00:16:39,820 --> 00:16:42,580
that is your cutlery
for eight courses.
299
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:43,980
LAUGHTER
300
00:16:45,420 --> 00:16:49,220
We had a choice between plaster
or buying new soup spoons...
301
00:16:49,220 --> 00:16:50,820
LAUGHTER
302
00:16:50,820 --> 00:16:53,260
Have a lovely meal, and I hope
you thoroughly enjoy yourselves.
303
00:16:53,260 --> 00:16:55,260
CHEERING
304
00:16:57,500 --> 00:16:59,540
Angela said she wasn't going
to do a wedding.
305
00:16:59,540 --> 00:17:01,540
I was going to tell my mum,
tell her parents,
306
00:17:01,540 --> 00:17:03,820
and we were going to go and elope
and have them as witnesses.
307
00:17:03,820 --> 00:17:06,220
That was true, that was true, so...
And then we found a chateau,
308
00:17:06,220 --> 00:17:08,700
and she said, "Ah, I've got a great
idea for a house-warming,
309
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:12,620
"let's just have our chateau,
and have a party."
310
00:17:12,620 --> 00:17:14,380
It was a party of dreams. Yes.
311
00:17:14,380 --> 00:17:17,740
And it was lovely, and
it was perfect, our wedding day.
312
00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:23,020
And since then, the Orangery
313
00:17:23,020 --> 00:17:25,420
has been the setting
for numerous events.
314
00:17:26,860 --> 00:17:28,500
From beautiful weddings...
315
00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:29,980
CHEERING
316
00:17:31,620 --> 00:17:33,260
..to more intimate moments.
317
00:17:36,700 --> 00:17:41,460
The historic outbuilding once again
full of laughter and joy.
318
00:17:42,740 --> 00:17:45,140
We're bringing the life back to it,
I think one of the things
319
00:17:45,140 --> 00:17:47,980
we're always very aware of is that
the laughter we hear here,
320
00:17:47,980 --> 00:17:50,020
and the people having a good time
at events,
321
00:17:50,020 --> 00:17:52,020
it just...
It must have been like that.
322
00:17:57,620 --> 00:18:01,380
While the Orangery immediately
inspired them both,
323
00:18:01,380 --> 00:18:05,340
it was Angel who saw the potential
in a muddy patch of land
324
00:18:05,340 --> 00:18:07,820
behind the chateau's coach house.
325
00:18:07,820 --> 00:18:12,300
Back in 2014, Dick had no idea
it would one day become
326
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:14,500
a luxury campsite.
327
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:17,500
On the second floor, looking out
the window, here you can see...
328
00:18:17,500 --> 00:18:20,260
Oh, there's a moat,
it actually looks like some water's
329
00:18:20,260 --> 00:18:23,540
gone across there with all the rain,
into those trees.
330
00:18:24,940 --> 00:18:29,140
In 2018, Angel's first challenge
was to convince Dick
331
00:18:29,140 --> 00:18:31,020
of her ambitious plans.
332
00:18:33,220 --> 00:18:37,500
I just think having another dome
would mean that we could have,
333
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:39,020
maybe, a family stay in it.
334
00:18:39,020 --> 00:18:41,540
And we would sell them, like,
you know, for weddings,
335
00:18:41,540 --> 00:18:44,100
people are always asking,
"Is there more accommodation?"
336
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:46,140
How big a dome do you want?
Like, huge.
337
00:18:46,140 --> 00:18:47,260
SHE LAUGHS
338
00:18:47,260 --> 00:18:49,260
I'll show you what seven metres
looks like.
339
00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:52,660
That's quite big. That's perfect.
340
00:18:53,740 --> 00:18:56,580
Maybe we've got to get rid of
some of the bits here...
341
00:18:56,580 --> 00:18:58,940
It's not bits, darling,
they're called trees. OK.
342
00:18:58,940 --> 00:19:01,500
You get the point? Yeah.
Seven metres is big. Mm-hm.
343
00:19:02,660 --> 00:19:04,300
SHE LAUGHS
344
00:19:05,660 --> 00:19:08,300
It's not always rosy.
345
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:14,260
Sometimes we argue, but actually,
it's all worthwhile. Passion.
346
00:19:14,260 --> 00:19:17,340
Yeah, passion.
Yeah, you've got to care. Yeah.
347
00:19:22,380 --> 00:19:26,380
Angel's grand plan to transform
the barren field beyond the moat
348
00:19:26,380 --> 00:19:30,540
into a glamorous campsite
was uncharted territory.
349
00:19:30,540 --> 00:19:34,660
We've got a bathroom and a kitchen,
and a whole area,
350
00:19:34,660 --> 00:19:37,100
outside area, to be landscaped.
351
00:19:37,100 --> 00:19:40,460
And I've never ever done
any landscaping before.
352
00:19:40,460 --> 00:19:42,460
I've never had a garden.
SHE LAUGHS
353
00:19:43,580 --> 00:19:46,220
I've been having total sleepless
nights about this,
354
00:19:46,220 --> 00:19:49,140
because it's new,
it's not in the chateau,
355
00:19:49,140 --> 00:19:52,100
which means that
it's got to be great.
356
00:19:52,100 --> 00:19:54,580
But this is kind of how I think
it will look like.
357
00:19:56,340 --> 00:19:59,060
But with only six weeks
until their first guests,
358
00:19:59,060 --> 00:20:02,220
their strict building schedule
was soon scuppered.
359
00:20:05,180 --> 00:20:06,540
The weather's against us,
360
00:20:06,540 --> 00:20:08,980
but it looks like it's going to be
like this for the next week.
361
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:14,220
The thing was, we had probably
the wettest spring
362
00:20:14,220 --> 00:20:16,980
you can imagine to do this in.
Oh, gosh, yes. And consequently,
363
00:20:16,980 --> 00:20:18,620
all the timelines got compressed.
364
00:20:18,620 --> 00:20:21,700
We were literally slopping around,
past our ankles in mud
365
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:24,500
for most of it. You just couldn't
do a day's work.
366
00:20:25,460 --> 00:20:28,700
Despite the weather,
work had to continue.
367
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:32,860
After the framework had been built,
the dome needed a cover.
368
00:20:32,860 --> 00:20:37,380
Going to be opening it out,
and then pulling this side over it.
369
00:20:37,380 --> 00:20:39,580
Right, OK, we're up.
370
00:20:39,580 --> 00:20:42,500
Pivoting around,
Steve's pivoting around them.
371
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:44,380
Right, set it down.
372
00:20:44,380 --> 00:20:46,820
I think what was funny
about the domes was we've got
373
00:20:46,820 --> 00:20:50,900
this instruction booklet,
and it had, sort of, two men,
374
00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:53,620
like little... Stick men pulling it.
375
00:20:53,620 --> 00:20:55,820
..stick men,
and it looked really easy, you know,
376
00:20:55,820 --> 00:20:57,860
"And you just pull it over."
SHE LAUGHS
377
00:20:58,980 --> 00:20:59,980
OK, pulling them up.
378
00:21:04,780 --> 00:21:06,820
HE EXHALES
That's looking better than it was.
379
00:21:09,460 --> 00:21:11,380
I think tea, now.
380
00:21:11,380 --> 00:21:12,660
Ready for tea?
381
00:21:20,060 --> 00:21:22,300
When the sun finally came out,
382
00:21:22,300 --> 00:21:25,260
Angel was ready to design
the dome's interior.
383
00:21:26,860 --> 00:21:29,140
I like the lightness in here.
384
00:21:29,140 --> 00:21:32,780
That extra two metres has made
the world of difference in here.
385
00:21:32,780 --> 00:21:34,660
This dome is huge.
386
00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:38,460
But I'm going to fill it.
SHE LAUGHS
387
00:21:38,460 --> 00:21:43,380
The trick is, with these
very modern geometric shapes,
388
00:21:43,380 --> 00:21:44,900
it's got to be...
389
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:48,220
There's got to be touches
of the chateau in here.
390
00:21:48,220 --> 00:21:51,180
I don't want to disturb
the view too much.
391
00:21:54,340 --> 00:21:57,100
Dick, however, was struggling
with the level of luxury
392
00:21:57,100 --> 00:22:00,620
required for a night under
the stars, Angel style.
393
00:22:03,060 --> 00:22:05,820
It's not glamping
unless it's glamorous, apparently,
394
00:22:05,820 --> 00:22:09,380
and so, for us, that involves
a wood-powered hot tub.
395
00:22:10,980 --> 00:22:14,580
Glamping is not camping,
that was news for me.
396
00:22:14,580 --> 00:22:19,460
Because for Angela,
the concept of glamping is a hotel.
397
00:22:19,460 --> 00:22:22,380
HE LAUGHS
398
00:22:22,380 --> 00:22:25,100
Yeah?
SHE STUTTERS
399
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:28,100
Yes... Yes, I think
that's probably fair.
400
00:22:29,260 --> 00:22:30,740
Oh, in fact, I want it...
401
00:22:30,740 --> 00:22:33,540
Probably... I think because
it was camping,
402
00:22:33,540 --> 00:22:37,940
I felt that it needed to be...
And it wasn't the chateau.
403
00:22:37,940 --> 00:22:40,540
I felt it needed to be the most
amazing thing ever.
404
00:22:40,540 --> 00:22:43,740
The wood-fired hot tub,
however luxurious,
405
00:22:43,740 --> 00:22:48,140
needed to be moved into place,
all 160kg of it.
406
00:22:48,140 --> 00:22:51,060
This is going to go over there
and look pretty.
407
00:22:51,060 --> 00:22:52,940
OK? OK, to begin with.
408
00:22:55,140 --> 00:22:57,820
Oh, Jesus, that's heavy.
THEY LAUGH
409
00:22:57,820 --> 00:22:59,020
OK, set it...
410
00:23:00,420 --> 00:23:03,340
What a stupid idea.
Get yourself off again, ready?
411
00:23:03,340 --> 00:23:04,660
One, two, three, lift.
412
00:23:04,660 --> 00:23:07,140
Right. OK, we got it?
413
00:23:07,140 --> 00:23:09,740
Right, I'm happy,
is everybody else happy?
414
00:23:09,740 --> 00:23:12,740
What the hell? Four men, a tub...
415
00:23:13,660 --> 00:23:15,580
..combined age of 212.
LAUGHTER
416
00:23:17,580 --> 00:23:21,100
Spinning it around now, please,
moving it around towards you, Craig.
417
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:22,060
Round towards you.
418
00:23:23,780 --> 00:23:27,500
More towards Rob. It's there,
it's there, it's not a bad position.
419
00:23:30,820 --> 00:23:35,140
With just 24 hours before the first
guests, Dick and Angel worked
420
00:23:35,140 --> 00:23:39,020
into the night to complete their
ambitious outdoor transformation.
421
00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:44,500
I think Angela's very aware
the clock is ticking,
422
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:48,820
the guests are coming,
and she always wants to do more
423
00:23:48,820 --> 00:23:52,460
than is actually physically
possible in the time.
424
00:23:52,460 --> 00:23:54,500
She knows that she wants
it to be perfect,
425
00:23:54,500 --> 00:23:56,580
and that's all she's ever
going to accept.
426
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:09,860
In the spring of 2018,
427
00:24:09,860 --> 00:24:12,780
Angel's bold vision
for a luxury campsite...
428
00:24:14,220 --> 00:24:15,540
..became a reality.
429
00:24:17,020 --> 00:24:19,380
This whole project has felt
a little bit different,
430
00:24:19,380 --> 00:24:23,460
because I've always tried to take
the outside inside, into the house.
431
00:24:23,460 --> 00:24:26,060
And this time, we're doing it
the other way around,
432
00:24:26,060 --> 00:24:29,980
so you've got your inside outside.
433
00:24:29,980 --> 00:24:32,500
And it's a first, it's a first
for me, definitely.
434
00:24:32,500 --> 00:24:34,220
But I think it's worked.
435
00:24:36,580 --> 00:24:38,100
I really, really love it.
436
00:24:40,740 --> 00:24:44,340
What was once an unloved,
muddy field...
437
00:24:44,340 --> 00:24:46,380
..now a glamorous camping space
438
00:24:46,380 --> 00:24:48,900
within the sanctuary
of the chateau's grounds.
439
00:24:48,900 --> 00:24:50,820
So if you want to understand
my pain,
440
00:24:50,820 --> 00:24:53,540
my pain was the fact that
glamping isn't camping,
441
00:24:53,540 --> 00:24:54,900
and it had to be...
442
00:24:55,980 --> 00:25:00,260
..better... If not as good,
better than staying in the chateau.
443
00:25:00,260 --> 00:25:01,460
Yeah. OK.
444
00:25:02,580 --> 00:25:05,460
I think that just explains
the pain of doing glamping here.
445
00:25:18,980 --> 00:25:22,660
When Dick and Angel brought
their 45-room chateau in France
446
00:25:22,660 --> 00:25:27,100
five years ago, they also took on
the stunning 12-acre estate
447
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:28,380
that surrounds it.
448
00:25:29,740 --> 00:25:33,260
When we arrived, all of our views
were there, beautiful views.
449
00:25:33,260 --> 00:25:36,620
And I've got to say, it is still
beautiful. Even the pollarded trees!
450
00:25:42,340 --> 00:25:47,020
In early 2016, Dick decided
to cut back the lime trees
451
00:25:47,020 --> 00:25:49,620
that lined the front of the chateau.
452
00:25:49,620 --> 00:25:53,660
The tree's sleeping, so we're giving
it a haircut while it sleeps.
453
00:25:53,660 --> 00:25:55,540
That's what pollarding's about.
454
00:25:55,540 --> 00:25:57,100
CHAINSAW BUZZES
455
00:25:59,220 --> 00:26:03,740
Unfortunately, his decision
didn't go down that well with Angel.
456
00:26:03,740 --> 00:26:07,020
I am freaking out a little bit. Why?
457
00:26:07,020 --> 00:26:09,500
I hadn't really understood
this fully.
458
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:12,860
Um, honestly, when you said
they were going to be pollarded,
459
00:26:12,860 --> 00:26:15,380
I thought they were going to have
a little haircut.
460
00:26:17,620 --> 00:26:18,660
It's, um...
461
00:26:19,820 --> 00:26:21,100
..very different.
462
00:26:22,380 --> 00:26:25,500
They look really bald, baby!
Honestly!
463
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:27,900
Like, seriously, are they going
to grow back enough
464
00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:30,340
in time for the wedding season?
465
00:26:30,340 --> 00:26:34,180
This area here is kind
of where I've proposed, um,
466
00:26:34,180 --> 00:26:36,260
that everyone sits to eat.
467
00:26:36,260 --> 00:26:38,060
Because if it does rain,
468
00:26:38,060 --> 00:26:41,380
we can't have everyone eating in
the orangery or the house, really,
469
00:26:41,380 --> 00:26:44,140
and it'll probably be warm
in the summer months, so...
470
00:26:44,140 --> 00:26:46,300
When they start to grow,
all the sap will rise,
471
00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:48,980
and we'll have shoots coming
out of the top, here, and this...
472
00:26:48,980 --> 00:26:50,380
When?
473
00:26:50,380 --> 00:26:53,660
Um, March. Our first wedding's
in May!
474
00:26:53,660 --> 00:26:56,100
I know, I know.
How high will they be?
475
00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:58,540
I don't know. I can't...
I can't give you the answer.
476
00:26:58,540 --> 00:27:02,980
I know you're panicking. Um,
but, darling, it has to be done.
477
00:27:02,980 --> 00:27:04,460
Yeah.
478
00:27:04,460 --> 00:27:07,740
It's nature. Trust nature.
Those trees want to live.
479
00:27:07,740 --> 00:27:10,580
They want to grow big
and strong again. I know.
480
00:27:10,580 --> 00:27:12,140
So, it's done now. Yeah.
481
00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:26,900
But looking after a few trees
is one thing.
482
00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:31,500
Learning how to maintain
an 8,000 square metre medieval moat,
483
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:33,100
quite another.
484
00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:34,740
The moat, it's beautiful.
485
00:27:34,740 --> 00:27:37,700
Obviously, it defines this space,
because for, what...?
486
00:27:37,700 --> 00:27:40,940
The 12th century?
That's 900 years, 800 years
487
00:27:40,940 --> 00:27:45,020
of, um, a castle being here,
surrounded by water. I love it.
488
00:27:51,020 --> 00:27:53,620
Dick and Angel's chateau
stands on the foundations
489
00:27:53,620 --> 00:27:55,540
of a medieval fortress.
490
00:27:55,540 --> 00:27:58,340
And the moat that surrounds it
is the same one
491
00:27:58,340 --> 00:28:00,500
that has protected it
for hundreds of years.
492
00:28:01,860 --> 00:28:05,100
I must have a problem over here.
look at the level of that moat.
493
00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:08,300
As it's fed by a nearby stream,
all Dick needs to do
494
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:11,780
is keep an eye on it,
particularly during the winter.
495
00:28:11,780 --> 00:28:14,380
The water level is high.
496
00:28:14,380 --> 00:28:17,500
The water level should be
at the level of those stones,
497
00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:20,460
but we're blocked up.
The moat's not emptying.
498
00:28:20,460 --> 00:28:23,740
Overflow pipes ensure the moat
can't flood the chateau,
499
00:28:23,740 --> 00:28:26,220
as long as they are clear of leaves
and debris.
500
00:28:26,220 --> 00:28:27,540
The water comes into the moat.
501
00:28:27,540 --> 00:28:30,140
When the moat gets filled,
we've got two overflows here.
502
00:28:30,140 --> 00:28:33,220
The stream takes it down to join
the River Mayenne.
503
00:28:33,220 --> 00:28:34,940
The River Mayenne joins the Loire.
504
00:28:34,940 --> 00:28:37,980
You go out to the Atlantic and
you can go anywhere in the world.
505
00:28:39,140 --> 00:28:41,060
The moat may be 900 years old,
506
00:28:41,060 --> 00:28:44,020
but it's probably
the first time in its history
507
00:28:44,020 --> 00:28:47,060
that the owner of the property's
unblocked it himself.
508
00:28:47,060 --> 00:28:49,020
You hear the difference
in the noise? Listen.
509
00:28:49,020 --> 00:28:50,460
WATER RUSHES
510
00:28:50,460 --> 00:28:53,380
Now, that difference in the noise
is everything escaping.
511
00:28:54,780 --> 00:28:57,340
And with a bit of luck, um...
512
00:28:57,340 --> 00:28:59,900
..the water level will be down
within a day or so.
513
00:29:02,260 --> 00:29:05,700
But it's just learning your house,
cos along there, I've got a...
514
00:29:05,700 --> 00:29:09,540
I've got my plug. The moat's
got a plug, which is phenomenal!
515
00:29:09,540 --> 00:29:13,060
It's, like, it's sort of a two-foot
diameter boxwood cork
516
00:29:13,060 --> 00:29:14,980
that, if I lift it up,
I can drain the moat.
517
00:29:16,260 --> 00:29:18,060
I'm trying to find
an excuse to do it!
518
00:29:20,660 --> 00:29:21,900
The moat,
519
00:29:21,900 --> 00:29:25,380
it could really do with being
dredged, but that's a massive job,
520
00:29:25,380 --> 00:29:28,180
and it's not high enough
up my priorities yet.
521
00:29:28,180 --> 00:29:30,540
But it's something that's going
to be quite exciting,
522
00:29:30,540 --> 00:29:33,820
because then, after that,
the water will probably be clearer,
523
00:29:33,820 --> 00:29:35,620
and it'll just be different. Mm.
524
00:29:37,340 --> 00:29:39,980
Dick has always been intrigued
by the moat,
525
00:29:39,980 --> 00:29:42,860
and back in the autumn of 2016,
526
00:29:42,860 --> 00:29:46,860
he decided it was time to find out
what lay beneath its surface.
527
00:29:50,060 --> 00:29:53,700
I can tell you quite categorically,
we have no idea what's in here.
528
00:29:53,700 --> 00:29:56,420
When we arrived, I think I was
interested in what was in the moat
529
00:29:56,420 --> 00:29:58,820
cos in this part of France,
you get different fish -
530
00:29:58,820 --> 00:30:01,500
you get catfish, you get pike,
you get all sorts of things,
531
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:03,740
as well as the carp
and the roach we have.
532
00:30:03,740 --> 00:30:06,980
I think, without actually
finding out what was in there,
533
00:30:06,980 --> 00:30:09,940
it was hard to say what
the health of our moat was.
534
00:30:11,220 --> 00:30:14,500
British fishery experts
Andrew and Ben were called in
535
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:18,100
to carry out a piscatorial census.
536
00:30:18,100 --> 00:30:20,700
If there's any number,
we'll catch some today, definitely.
537
00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:23,980
Whether there were five
or 5,000 fish in the moat,
538
00:30:23,980 --> 00:30:27,540
they still needed to be caught
before they could be counted.
539
00:30:27,540 --> 00:30:30,780
So 300 metres of net
was spread across the moat,
540
00:30:30,780 --> 00:30:33,060
and, to everyone's excitement...
541
00:30:33,060 --> 00:30:34,660
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
542
00:30:34,660 --> 00:30:36,140
..dragged to one end.
543
00:30:36,140 --> 00:30:37,900
What have we got? A carp. A carp?
544
00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:40,460
Oh, it's a lovely little carp!
And again.
545
00:30:40,460 --> 00:30:42,060
They are not very big, those ones,
546
00:30:42,060 --> 00:30:43,860
but the babies
means there's big ones.
547
00:30:43,860 --> 00:30:46,700
Ah! Work harder, Ben,
there's more fish!
548
00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:49,180
I'm loving it, I'm loving it.
We got fish!
549
00:30:50,420 --> 00:30:51,940
Right. OK.
550
00:30:53,380 --> 00:30:55,900
Right. What have we got?
551
00:30:55,900 --> 00:30:59,980
As well as counting the fish,
Andrew temporarily stunned a few,
552
00:30:59,980 --> 00:31:02,540
so he could carry out
a quick health check.
553
00:31:02,540 --> 00:31:06,180
This is your predominant species,
carp, which are breeding nicely.
554
00:31:06,180 --> 00:31:07,980
But it's not very heavy.
555
00:31:07,980 --> 00:31:10,340
When we did the survey of the fish,
556
00:31:10,340 --> 00:31:13,420
we actually discovered that there
was a good, healthy system.
557
00:31:13,420 --> 00:31:14,740
Big fish, little fish.
558
00:31:14,740 --> 00:31:16,860
So we had breeding,
we had healthy fish,
559
00:31:16,860 --> 00:31:19,700
and I think that the totality
of that allowed us to say,
560
00:31:19,700 --> 00:31:23,420
conclude that the moat's
in good nick. It's not in bad order.
561
00:31:23,420 --> 00:31:26,900
Er, in the moat, there's roughly
500lb weight of roach and carp.
562
00:31:26,900 --> 00:31:29,980
These things can eat 4%, 5% of their
own body weight a day in the summer.
563
00:31:29,980 --> 00:31:32,500
So, you know,
they are a little bit stunted.
564
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:35,180
It's easy to turn them round,
easy to get them to grow.
565
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:39,060
By knowing what fish
we had in the moat,
566
00:31:39,060 --> 00:31:41,500
it gives you an idea about
the health of the whole ecosystem,
567
00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:43,740
cos the little fish eat
the little larvae.
568
00:31:43,740 --> 00:31:46,220
We've got dragonflies,
we've got bats, we've got swallows,
569
00:31:46,220 --> 00:31:47,700
and everything's predating on it.
570
00:31:47,700 --> 00:31:50,580
And just to find the whole health
of our ecosystem
571
00:31:50,580 --> 00:31:52,900
was important, wasn't it?
Absolutely.
572
00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:54,420
We'll let these all go free?
573
00:31:55,780 --> 00:31:57,340
I've loved seeing the-the moat
574
00:31:57,340 --> 00:31:59,460
have a little bit of life in it,
actually.
575
00:31:59,460 --> 00:32:01,060
They're all fine in there.
576
00:32:02,260 --> 00:32:04,020
Swim, be free.
577
00:32:04,020 --> 00:32:05,580
Look at that, they've all gone.
578
00:32:16,700 --> 00:32:20,660
Two years later, Dick and Angel
were shown a new view of the moat
579
00:32:20,660 --> 00:32:23,660
and chateau when they visited
their local archives.
580
00:32:29,020 --> 00:32:31,380
Look at those trees. I know!
581
00:32:32,820 --> 00:32:34,780
Can't say that any more, can you?
582
00:32:34,780 --> 00:32:38,340
Giverne, our trees are smaller...
Ah, OK.
583
00:32:38,340 --> 00:32:41,540
..because Dick cut them all off. OK!
584
00:32:41,540 --> 00:32:43,620
Pollarded, I pollarded them.
585
00:32:43,620 --> 00:32:45,900
C'est necessaire. Oh. Ssh!
586
00:32:47,340 --> 00:32:50,540
Are there any other pictures around
the chateau or any of the properties
587
00:32:50,540 --> 00:32:52,540
around the chateau? This one.
588
00:32:53,900 --> 00:32:56,460
Wow. Everything looks different.
589
00:32:56,460 --> 00:32:59,420
The chateau's design
might not be that accurate,
590
00:32:59,420 --> 00:33:00,980
but the artist did capture
591
00:33:00,980 --> 00:33:03,900
the leisurely life
of its aristocratic owners.
592
00:33:03,900 --> 00:33:06,580
Has that chap got a moustache?
He has got a moustache.
593
00:33:06,580 --> 00:33:08,820
In fact, he looks like you.
594
00:33:12,620 --> 00:33:15,260
Seeing people actually
in a little boat on the moat
595
00:33:15,260 --> 00:33:19,060
just reminds you about, this place
was built for leisure. Yeah.
596
00:33:19,060 --> 00:33:22,260
For-for-for enjoying things,
instead of just graft and work.
597
00:33:22,260 --> 00:33:25,980
Yeah, they just,
they looked so...relaxed!
598
00:33:25,980 --> 00:33:29,220
Honestly, they looked like
they'd never done a day's work
599
00:33:29,220 --> 00:33:30,340
in their life.
600
00:33:30,340 --> 00:33:33,060
"Darling, come out with me
and bring a bottle of chilled wine."
601
00:33:33,060 --> 00:33:35,780
It's just a different life,
isn't it? Yeah, so...
602
00:33:35,780 --> 00:33:38,380
We-we pictured all of that
through one little postcard.
603
00:33:44,060 --> 00:33:46,900
But by the July of 2018,
604
00:33:46,900 --> 00:33:50,260
Dick had decided
that the chateau did need a boat
605
00:33:50,260 --> 00:33:53,780
and that he and builder mate Steve
would build it,
606
00:33:53,780 --> 00:33:55,340
or at least try to.
607
00:33:55,340 --> 00:33:58,940
The boat is going to be
quite simple.
608
00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:03,620
Dick's punt would not only
be useful as a working boat,
609
00:34:03,620 --> 00:34:06,540
but also fulfil
a rather special request.
610
00:34:08,700 --> 00:34:12,140
We had a holiday up in Dinan
on the north coast, didn't we,
611
00:34:12,140 --> 00:34:15,100
and Dorothy said she wanted a boat,
didn't she? Mm, yeah.
612
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:19,420
Dorothy said, "I want a boat."
So we built, um, The Floating Dodo.
613
00:34:19,420 --> 00:34:20,820
Mm-hm. And that was quite...
614
00:34:20,820 --> 00:34:23,420
That was quite special.
It was lovely. It was lovely.
615
00:34:24,980 --> 00:34:28,100
Wow, lots of bamboos.
Let's come to here.
616
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:30,420
We've got to choose a mast.
617
00:34:30,420 --> 00:34:33,100
And when you have a bamboo forest
on your land,
618
00:34:33,100 --> 00:34:36,380
Arthur and Dorothy can have
any size mast they want.
619
00:34:37,420 --> 00:34:39,060
Good.
620
00:34:39,060 --> 00:34:41,060
Oh, it's that one!
621
00:34:41,060 --> 00:34:43,060
Oh!
622
00:34:43,060 --> 00:34:46,460
Whoa. Hold it up for me.
That's a big mast, isn't it? Yes!
623
00:34:46,460 --> 00:34:49,820
Here we go. This one looks likely.
Are you ready?
624
00:34:49,820 --> 00:34:53,780
It's a bit bigger than anticipated.
What do you reckon? That looks nice.
625
00:34:53,780 --> 00:34:56,060
It's very long, isn't it?
626
00:34:56,060 --> 00:34:58,940
So it's The Floating Dodo
from the Port Husson.
627
00:35:02,060 --> 00:35:04,980
We called it The Dodo
because when Arthur was born,
628
00:35:04,980 --> 00:35:07,900
he couldn't say Dorothy,
cos he was one.
629
00:35:07,900 --> 00:35:10,620
He always used to go,
"Do, Do, Do."
630
00:35:10,620 --> 00:35:13,420
And then, in, in his trying...
631
00:35:13,420 --> 00:35:18,220
..we started all calling her Dodo,
to make it easier for Arthur.
632
00:35:18,220 --> 00:35:20,580
And we still call her Dodo!
633
00:35:20,580 --> 00:35:23,500
She's going to really appreciate
that when she's in her late teens.
634
00:35:23,500 --> 00:35:24,460
No, she's not.
635
00:35:24,460 --> 00:35:26,220
We've got a dodo flag!
636
00:35:27,540 --> 00:35:29,980
But we had to get on
the actual water.
637
00:35:29,980 --> 00:35:33,140
Hoist the pennant, sir.
Look, look at it, it's going up!
638
00:35:33,140 --> 00:35:35,700
The Floating Dodo is at the top,
how's that?
639
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:38,980
OK, the pennant is up, ready to go.
Oh! Whoa!
640
00:35:38,980 --> 00:35:40,420
We are floating.
641
00:35:40,420 --> 00:35:44,380
So me being sort of an Aries
and quite fiery,
642
00:35:44,380 --> 00:35:48,140
I love being near water.
I do find it quite calming. Yeah.
643
00:35:48,140 --> 00:35:50,180
Hooray!
THEY CHEER
644
00:35:50,180 --> 00:35:52,980
Taking a handmade boat
out onto the water, though,
645
00:35:52,980 --> 00:35:55,780
did test Angel's
astrological affinity.
646
00:35:55,780 --> 00:35:57,460
We're all OK!
647
00:35:57,460 --> 00:36:00,420
Launching it, um, it was hilarious,
because...
648
00:36:00,420 --> 00:36:03,100
Oh, you didn't have to make
a lot of noise about drowning
649
00:36:03,100 --> 00:36:04,420
and getting a wet bum.
650
00:36:04,420 --> 00:36:08,140
But I was getting a really,
really, really wet ass.
651
00:36:08,140 --> 00:36:09,300
HE CHUCKLES
652
00:36:09,300 --> 00:36:12,020
It did leak. Yeah.
It was a little bit wobbly.
653
00:36:13,260 --> 00:36:15,540
I'm just testing it
going round in circles.
654
00:36:15,540 --> 00:36:18,620
The Floating Dodo's sea trials
may have proved that the boat
655
00:36:18,620 --> 00:36:21,660
was both a bit unstable and leaky.
656
00:36:21,660 --> 00:36:23,220
It is a punt, you see.
657
00:36:23,220 --> 00:36:26,500
But it also showed that there was
quite a lot of fun to be had
658
00:36:26,500 --> 00:36:28,460
on the moat.
659
00:36:28,460 --> 00:36:31,780
We have talked about swan pedalos
660
00:36:31,780 --> 00:36:34,220
but I think that you...
661
00:36:34,220 --> 00:36:35,620
..said I wasn't allowed.
662
00:36:37,580 --> 00:36:39,620
A conversation involves two people.
663
00:36:39,620 --> 00:36:42,220
I've been talked at
about swan pedalos.
664
00:36:43,700 --> 00:36:47,340
Oh, look, a fish just nearly jumped
into the boat! Did you see that?
665
00:36:57,260 --> 00:37:01,940
In this special, we're seeing
how, over the past five years,
666
00:37:01,940 --> 00:37:06,140
Dick and Angel have transformed
their magnificent grounds.
667
00:37:06,140 --> 00:37:07,340
Feet up.
668
00:37:07,340 --> 00:37:09,380
Come on.
669
00:37:09,380 --> 00:37:13,180
Now we're looking back on how
they've managed to adapt
670
00:37:13,180 --> 00:37:15,780
from city life to country living.
671
00:37:15,780 --> 00:37:19,500
How can you not fall in love
with just being outside
672
00:37:19,500 --> 00:37:21,940
when you just have such
beautiful surroundings?
673
00:37:23,220 --> 00:37:25,460
And with 12 acres to play with,
674
00:37:25,460 --> 00:37:28,420
Dick has had the chance
to introduce his family
675
00:37:28,420 --> 00:37:31,060
to the finer things in life -
676
00:37:31,060 --> 00:37:33,100
like freshly laid eggs.
677
00:37:33,100 --> 00:37:37,180
Living in the city, Angela never
had the opportunity
678
00:37:37,180 --> 00:37:39,540
to have poultry or chickens,
679
00:37:39,540 --> 00:37:41,460
and the eggs are different,
680
00:37:41,460 --> 00:37:44,140
and it's just not the
same as buying an egg
681
00:37:44,140 --> 00:37:46,060
when you have your own chicken eggs.
682
00:37:46,060 --> 00:37:51,820
Fresh chickens' eggs each morning
may be a treat for most people,
683
00:37:51,820 --> 00:37:54,740
but Dick and Angel still
decided to go large.
684
00:37:54,740 --> 00:37:57,980
Since our first days
of courting and dating,
685
00:37:57,980 --> 00:38:00,220
Dick used to bring me geese eggs,
686
00:38:00,220 --> 00:38:03,460
and it was the best thing
I'd ever had in my life.
687
00:38:07,300 --> 00:38:09,780
In September 2018,
688
00:38:09,780 --> 00:38:13,300
Dick earmarked the Chateau's
150-year-old pigsty
689
00:38:13,300 --> 00:38:16,580
for his latest acquisition.
690
00:38:16,580 --> 00:38:18,780
God, it's magical.
691
00:38:18,780 --> 00:38:20,540
So beautiful.
692
00:38:20,540 --> 00:38:24,300
Six oies de Guinee, or Guinea
geese, were on their way,
693
00:38:24,300 --> 00:38:28,780
and he thought a perch in the
old piggery would be perfect.
694
00:38:28,780 --> 00:38:30,940
Right, that's going to be
a bit of fun. Come on.
695
00:38:30,940 --> 00:38:33,260
Once he'd worked
out how to get in.
696
00:38:33,260 --> 00:38:34,300
Ridiculous.
697
00:38:40,820 --> 00:38:43,340
Nobody's been in here
since we've owned the place.
698
00:38:47,900 --> 00:38:49,420
Good.
699
00:38:49,420 --> 00:38:52,420
Eventually Dick, with the assistance
of chateau helper Contin,
700
00:38:52,420 --> 00:38:54,580
succeeded in making the
old piggery
701
00:38:54,580 --> 00:38:57,500
both goose friendly
as well as fox hostile.
702
00:38:59,660 --> 00:39:01,380
There you go.
703
00:39:05,580 --> 00:39:06,740
Dad!
704
00:39:06,740 --> 00:39:08,700
Argh! There they are.
705
00:39:11,380 --> 00:39:12,660
You come through.
706
00:39:12,660 --> 00:39:16,620
The next day, five-year-old Arthur
received his first lesson
707
00:39:16,620 --> 00:39:18,060
in goose management.
708
00:39:18,060 --> 00:39:19,580
Look, there's one out.
709
00:39:23,340 --> 00:39:25,140
They have freedom.
710
00:39:25,140 --> 00:39:28,220
Yay!
711
00:39:28,220 --> 00:39:30,700
It's about making sure the children
712
00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:32,900
understand our
relationship to animals.
713
00:39:32,900 --> 00:39:34,340
In fact, they do get look after and,
714
00:39:34,340 --> 00:39:36,260
in fact, they give
us something back.
715
00:39:36,260 --> 00:39:39,300
That's quite important.
That is quite important.
716
00:39:43,740 --> 00:39:45,700
HE SCREAMS
717
00:39:45,700 --> 00:39:47,700
DICK AND ANGEL LAUGH
718
00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:58,140
Within days, the geese were
already receiving a home upgrade,
719
00:39:58,140 --> 00:40:01,180
courtesy of Arthur and Dorothy.
720
00:40:01,180 --> 00:40:05,380
Did you know that the
gooses' swimming pool
721
00:40:05,380 --> 00:40:07,380
is actually your sandpit.
722
00:40:07,380 --> 00:40:08,900
Did you know that ? I know.
723
00:40:08,900 --> 00:40:11,540
We're going to fill it all
the way to the top, aren't we?
724
00:40:11,540 --> 00:40:13,700
You can count on me.
Count on you? I will count on you
725
00:40:13,700 --> 00:40:16,380
because you're my health
and safety expert.
726
00:40:16,380 --> 00:40:18,340
HE BLOWS RASPBERRY
727
00:40:18,340 --> 00:40:19,940
The children now are used to
728
00:40:19,940 --> 00:40:22,540
the fact that the geese
and the chicken are out.
729
00:40:22,540 --> 00:40:25,180
They go and feed them with
the leftovers that we feed them.
730
00:40:25,180 --> 00:40:26,940
They do all sorts of bits.
731
00:40:26,940 --> 00:40:29,220
Not bad for five and six. Yeah.
732
00:40:29,220 --> 00:40:32,300
And as they get older, they'll
take more responsibility.
733
00:40:37,060 --> 00:40:38,780
Wahey!
734
00:40:38,780 --> 00:40:40,780
In we go. Hooray!
735
00:40:40,780 --> 00:40:42,740
We've got another swimmer.
736
00:40:42,740 --> 00:40:44,780
They can speak geese and I can.
737
00:40:44,780 --> 00:40:46,300
Honk, honk. Honk, honk.
738
00:40:53,220 --> 00:40:55,100
For Arthur and Dorothy, though,
739
00:40:55,100 --> 00:40:57,580
learning to rear geese is only a
small part
740
00:40:57,580 --> 00:40:59,980
of their idyllic life
at the chateau.
741
00:41:01,420 --> 00:41:05,620
I think their life here is being
shaped by what's going on.
742
00:41:05,620 --> 00:41:08,700
It's a gorgeous,
very privileged upbringing.
743
00:41:10,340 --> 00:41:13,860
Give it lots of water. Oh, no!
744
00:41:16,020 --> 00:41:20,060
For the past five years,
Arthur and Dorothy
745
00:41:20,060 --> 00:41:23,700
have been fully immersed in a
completely rural lifestyle.
746
00:41:23,700 --> 00:41:26,380
And as far as Dick
and Angel are concerned,
747
00:41:26,380 --> 00:41:28,740
it's the perfect childhood.
748
00:41:28,740 --> 00:41:31,100
I grew up in the
'60s in the countryside,
749
00:41:31,100 --> 00:41:32,900
and... A very different world.
750
00:41:32,900 --> 00:41:35,180
You could say it's simpler
in other ways,
751
00:41:35,180 --> 00:41:37,940
but I think the thing was, children
were allowed to go out and play,
752
00:41:37,940 --> 00:41:41,460
and be self-reliant and go and do
things, build dens, get out.
753
00:41:41,460 --> 00:41:42,980
We'd leave after breakfast,
754
00:41:42,980 --> 00:41:45,060
come back at teatime
when we were starving.
755
00:41:45,060 --> 00:41:48,380
I can't wait till the day
that they go off and play,
756
00:41:48,380 --> 00:41:50,860
we're not quite sure they are
but we know they're safe,
757
00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:53,260
because they've got a
little bit of common sense.
758
00:41:53,260 --> 00:41:55,740
We're going big game hunting.
759
00:41:55,740 --> 00:41:57,500
I'm going to stay with you, dad.
760
00:41:57,500 --> 00:41:59,260
Of course you are.
761
00:41:59,260 --> 00:42:02,420
I think I saw something
crawling through the trees
762
00:42:02,420 --> 00:42:03,740
at the far side of the moat.
763
00:42:03,740 --> 00:42:05,820
Do you know what I found?
764
00:42:05,820 --> 00:42:07,140
I found poo.
765
00:42:07,140 --> 00:42:10,420
We're going to see if we can find
out what's doing the pooping.
766
00:42:10,420 --> 00:42:12,780
I think the children
are naturally inquisitive
767
00:42:12,780 --> 00:42:15,220
so if you give them answers,
they don't forget.
768
00:42:15,220 --> 00:42:17,780
They're at the stage now where
they're learning for life.
769
00:42:17,780 --> 00:42:19,300
There's a wild animal here
770
00:42:19,300 --> 00:42:20,940
and it's pooping in one place.
771
00:42:20,940 --> 00:42:23,940
It wants other wild animals
to know that it lives there.
772
00:42:23,940 --> 00:42:26,620
That's actually called
marking its territory.
773
00:42:26,620 --> 00:42:28,380
Right, what I'm going to do,
774
00:42:28,380 --> 00:42:31,500
I'm going to have a look at the poo
and see what sort of poo it is.
775
00:42:31,500 --> 00:42:33,220
Dorothy loves nature.
776
00:42:33,220 --> 00:42:36,180
She just loves nature
in every single guise.
777
00:42:36,180 --> 00:42:39,420
Dorothy and I will spend more time
looking out the window,
778
00:42:39,420 --> 00:42:41,140
and seeing things.
779
00:42:41,140 --> 00:42:43,300
Watch. Do you know
why I am doing this? Why?
780
00:42:43,300 --> 00:42:45,900
I don't want to touch
poo with my fingers.
781
00:42:45,900 --> 00:42:47,980
Ew! That is disgusting.
782
00:42:49,380 --> 00:42:51,940
Arthur comes at nature
in a different way
783
00:42:51,940 --> 00:42:55,180
because Arthur will see
a deer and he'll say,
784
00:42:55,180 --> 00:42:58,660
"What's that called
at the supermarket?"
785
00:43:00,700 --> 00:43:03,980
"What's deer called, is it venison?"
786
00:43:03,980 --> 00:43:05,020
I just...
787
00:43:05,020 --> 00:43:06,740
They come from two different angles.
788
00:43:06,740 --> 00:43:08,340
See the little furry bits there?
789
00:43:08,340 --> 00:43:11,100
Yeah. That looks like hair.
790
00:43:11,100 --> 00:43:13,220
See if it looks like hair...
Does it look hairy?
791
00:43:13,220 --> 00:43:14,980
I think it's got a hairy bum.
792
00:43:14,980 --> 00:43:20,220
OK. That means it may have eaten
something with fur on it.
793
00:43:20,220 --> 00:43:22,700
Most of the animals like that,
they go out hunting
794
00:43:22,700 --> 00:43:24,900
and they go out hunting at night.
795
00:43:24,900 --> 00:43:29,300
I often think they probably
don't know how lucky they are.
796
00:43:29,300 --> 00:43:31,780
And they will do one day, hopefully.
797
00:43:34,140 --> 00:43:36,300
Sit beside me. OK.
798
00:43:36,300 --> 00:43:37,740
That's night-time.
799
00:43:37,740 --> 00:43:39,340
Watch, watch, watch,
800
00:43:39,340 --> 00:43:42,260
that's our bridge, isn't it?
801
00:43:42,260 --> 00:43:44,860
Something must have trigger
the camera. Argh!
802
00:43:44,860 --> 00:43:46,740
What is that? A wolf!
803
00:43:46,740 --> 00:43:48,300
A wolf?
804
00:43:48,300 --> 00:43:50,340
Yeah, it looks like a wolf.
805
00:43:50,340 --> 00:43:53,260
Look at the shape, it has white bits
under its chin. Hasn't it?
806
00:43:53,260 --> 00:43:55,380
It's quite big.
807
00:43:55,380 --> 00:43:57,700
Could be a pine marten.
808
00:43:57,700 --> 00:44:00,060
They're open, happy children,
809
00:44:00,060 --> 00:44:02,500
and for us, as parents, I think,
810
00:44:02,500 --> 00:44:05,420
if you've got that,
you have cracked it.
811
00:44:05,420 --> 00:44:08,460
We'll continue working
at it, won't we?
812
00:44:10,700 --> 00:44:14,940
Dick and Angel have worked
hard to transform the outdoors
813
00:44:14,940 --> 00:44:17,300
and create an extraordinary life
814
00:44:17,300 --> 00:44:19,420
for both them and their children...
815
00:44:19,420 --> 00:44:20,900
We've actually got there.
816
00:44:20,900 --> 00:44:22,620
I've turned him into a country boy.
817
00:44:22,620 --> 00:44:24,220
Come on!
818
00:44:24,220 --> 00:44:26,460
..but that's not the only
thing to be celebrated,
819
00:44:26,460 --> 00:44:30,820
as we've seen over the last three
special episodes.
820
00:44:30,820 --> 00:44:33,500
When they bought
their chateau in 2014,
821
00:44:33,500 --> 00:44:37,140
their lives changed
beyond recognition.
822
00:44:37,140 --> 00:44:39,620
We're going to start
a new generation
823
00:44:39,620 --> 00:44:41,620
of Strawbridges in advance.
824
00:44:41,620 --> 00:44:43,820
Le petite Strawbridges.
825
00:44:43,820 --> 00:44:47,860
Moving their young family from
a small flat in Essex
826
00:44:47,860 --> 00:44:53,620
to an empty, 45-room chateau in
France was an extraordinary gamble.
827
00:44:53,620 --> 00:44:56,140
There's been an
electrical fire here.
828
00:44:56,140 --> 00:44:59,580
And the fact that
the 150-year-old building
829
00:44:59,580 --> 00:45:03,260
needed an enormous
amount of maintenance...
830
00:45:03,260 --> 00:45:04,580
We have electricity.
831
00:45:04,580 --> 00:45:07,780
..made their decision
even more daring.
832
00:45:09,140 --> 00:45:10,780
And it's warm water.
833
00:45:10,780 --> 00:45:14,540
Wahey!
834
00:45:14,540 --> 00:45:17,220
But with Dick's
engineering skills...
835
00:45:17,220 --> 00:45:20,380
I thought it wasn't going to
work for a second.
836
00:45:20,380 --> 00:45:22,340
..Angel's imagination...
I would wear that.
837
00:45:22,340 --> 00:45:24,660
..and a lot of hard work,
838
00:45:24,660 --> 00:45:25,860
both inside...
839
00:45:27,020 --> 00:45:28,100
..and out...
840
00:45:29,660 --> 00:45:33,660
..they've breathed new life
into an abandoned chateau.
841
00:45:35,580 --> 00:45:37,780
But on the other hand...
842
00:45:37,780 --> 00:45:39,380
We're not finished yet.
843
00:45:39,380 --> 00:45:41,260
We've got masses more to do.
844
00:45:42,860 --> 00:45:44,580
Coming later this year...
845
00:45:44,580 --> 00:45:45,820
Angela!
846
00:45:45,820 --> 00:45:48,660
..A brand-new series of
Escape To The Chateau...
847
00:45:48,660 --> 00:45:50,980
All about, maties.
848
00:45:50,980 --> 00:45:54,460
..filled with a little
bit of light gardening...
849
00:45:54,460 --> 00:45:56,820
There's 35 tonnes
of bloody stones to move.
850
00:45:56,820 --> 00:45:58,660
No part about this
is making me smile.
851
00:45:59,700 --> 00:46:01,620
..some subtle engineering...
852
00:46:01,620 --> 00:46:04,940
THEY LAUGH
853
00:46:04,940 --> 00:46:06,300
..fine food...
854
00:46:06,300 --> 00:46:09,140
Your very first oysters.
Chew, chew, chew really hard.
855
00:46:09,140 --> 00:46:12,740
..and the occasional minor mishap.
856
00:46:16,460 --> 00:46:17,780
Oops.
857
00:46:22,540 --> 00:46:25,860
