There's trouble with the catering.
75
00:02:00,141 --> 00:02:02,181

This is why we work as a team -
Angela makes it happen

00:04:50,861 --> 00:04:52,781
Let's do some icing of some cakes.
172
00:04:52,781 --> 00:04:54,821
Can you ice cakes?
How much have you...?
173
00:04:54,821 --> 00:04:55,141
Can you ice cakes?
How much have you...?
174
00:04:55,141 --> 00:04:57,181
Um, well, I haven't done it before,
but...
175
00:04:57,181 --> 00:04:57,501
Um, well, I haven't done it before,
but...
176
00:04:57,501 --> 00:04:58,821
Are you quite creative?
177
00:04:58,821 --> 00:05:00,861
I'm quite creative, I love painting
and making things, and...
178
00:05:00,861 --> 00:05:01,821
I'm quite creative, I love painting
and making things, and...
179
00:05:01,821 --> 00:05:03,501
Brilliant. Brilliant.
180
00:05:03,501 --> 00:05:05,541
I haven't done it before,
but I'm willing to learn!
181
00:05:05,541 --> 00:05:05,701
I haven't done it before,
but I'm willing to learn!
182
00:05:09,021 --> 00:05:11,061
Welcome to our kitchen.
183
00:05:11,061 --> 00:05:11,301
Welcome to our kitchen.
184
00:05:11,301 --> 00:05:13,061
In fact, welcome to Dick's kitchen!
185
00:05:14,261 --> 00:05:16,301
Erin wants to create what's
known as a naked cake.
186
00:05:16,301 --> 00:05:17,381
Erin wants to create what's
known as a naked cake.
187
00:05:17,381 --> 00:05:19,421
Let's get these bad boys out.
188
00:05:19,421 --> 00:05:20,301
Let's get these bad boys out.
189
00:05:20,301 --> 00:05:22,341
So instead of covering
the sponge in thick icing,
190
00:05:22,341 --> 00:05:22,941
So instead of covering
the sponge in thick icing,
191
00:05:22,941 --> 00:05:24,981
the cake is given a lighter,
frosted finish.
192
00:05:24,981 --> 00:05:25,421
the cake is given a lighter,
frosted finish.
193
00:05:26,581 --> 00:05:28,621
Part of the key in doing
a naked cake
194
00:05:28,621 --> 00:05:29,061
Part of the key in doing
a naked cake
195
00:05:29,061 --> 00:05:30,781
is crumb management!
196
00:05:32,181 --> 00:05:34,221
And getting the icing really,
really nice and smooth.
197
00:05:34,221 --> 00:05:36,181
And getting the icing really,
really nice and smooth.
198
00:05:36,181 --> 00:05:38,221
Little things, like having the right
tins, will make a difference.
199
00:05:38,221 --> 00:05:40,061
Little things, like having the right
tins, will make a difference.
200
00:05:40,061 --> 00:05:42,101
Like, having a straight tin will be
better than having...
201
00:05:42,101 --> 00:05:42,381
Like, having a straight tin will be
better than having...
202
00:05:42,381 --> 00:05:43,781
Cos it's got that lip?
203
00:05:43,781 --> 00:05:45,821
Yeah, and also, this has got
a bit of an angle to it,
204
00:05:45,821 --> 00:05:46,341
Yeah, and also, this has got
a bit of an angle to it,
205
00:05:46,341 --> 00:05:47,621
and a lip as well.
206
00:05:47,621 --> 00:05:48,661
But it's OK.
207
00:05:48,661 --> 00:05:50,701
Always have a ruler on you!
208
00:05:50,701 --> 00:05:51,141
Always have a ruler on you!
209
00:05:51,141 --> 00:05:52,501
It's three centimetres.
210
00:05:52,501 --> 00:05:54,541
Now, for a layer, I would say 2.5 to
3 centimetres anyway, OK?
211
00:05:54,541 --> 00:05:56,581
Now, for a layer, I would say 2.5 to
3 centimetres anyway, OK?
212
00:05:56,581 --> 00:05:56,901
Now, for a layer, I would say 2.5 to
3 centimetres anyway, OK?
213
00:05:56,901 --> 00:05:58,941
I'm going to serrate all
the edges first,
214
00:05:58,941 --> 00:05:59,181
I'm going to serrate all
the edges first,
215
00:05:59,181 --> 00:06:01,141
and it's a really simple thing,
216
00:06:01,141 --> 00:06:03,181
but you've got to saw,
so I'm moving the turntable
217
00:06:03,181 --> 00:06:04,341
but you've got to saw,
so I'm moving the turntable
218
00:06:04,341 --> 00:06:06,381
and doing a little sawing action.
219
00:06:06,381 --> 00:06:07,021
and doing a little sawing action.
220
00:06:07,021 --> 00:06:08,501
Ta-dah! Beautiful.
221
00:06:08,501 --> 00:06:10,541
OK, so now we have got our first top
cake, that we can eat later!
222
00:06:10,541 --> 00:06:12,581
OK, so now we have got our first top
cake, that we can eat later!
223
00:06:12,581 --> 00:06:16,261
OK, so now we have got our first top
cake, that we can eat later!
224
00:06:16,261 --> 00:06:16,421
Time for Erin to try out her
knife skills...
225
00:06:17,941 --> 00:06:19,981
You can hold this, as well,
however...
226
00:06:19,981 --> 00:06:20,741
You can hold this, as well,
however...
227
00:06:20,741 --> 00:06:22,781
And then you start moving
this around.
228
00:06:22,781 --> 00:06:23,021
And then you start moving
this around.
229
00:06:23,021 --> 00:06:23,901
Bigger sawing.
230
00:06:23,901 --> 00:06:25,821
I feel like you're pushing too much.
OK.
231
00:06:25,821 --> 00:06:26,781
So...
232
00:06:28,021 --> 00:06:29,501
That's it, but gentle.
233
00:06:29,501 --> 00:06:30,581
Yeah.
234
00:06:30,581 --> 00:06:32,341
OK. Let's do it, let's take it off.
235
00:06:32,341 --> 00:06:34,381
Great, now put it over in the grave.
236
00:06:34,381 --> 00:06:34,941
Great, now put it over in the grave.
237
00:06:37,341 --> 00:06:39,381
Remember, it's crumb management.
Great. OK.
238
00:06:39,381 --> 00:06:39,901
Remember, it's crumb management.
Great. OK.
239
00:06:39,901 --> 00:06:41,941
So, when you get to this
stage, you're going to ice it,
240
00:06:41,941 --> 00:06:42,381
So, when you get to this
stage, you're going to ice it,
241
00:06:42,381 --> 00:06:44,421
and if you've done a lemon cake,
you might put a curd in,
242
00:06:44,421 --> 00:06:44,821
and if you've done a lemon cake,
you might put a curd in,
243
00:06:44,821 --> 00:06:46,861
or if you've done a Victoria sponge,
you might put strawberry jam in,
244
00:06:46,861 --> 00:06:47,941
or if you've done a Victoria sponge,
you might put strawberry jam in,
245
00:06:47,941 --> 00:06:49,341
or a jam.
246
00:06:49,341 --> 00:06:50,581
Let's use one of our jams.
247
00:06:50,581 --> 00:06:52,221
Perfect. Sounds good.
248
00:06:52,221 --> 00:06:54,261
So after adding
a layer of buttercream -
249
00:06:54,261 --> 00:06:54,581
So after adding
a layer of buttercream -
250
00:06:54,581 --> 00:06:56,621
made with icing sugar
and softened butter - it's the jam.
251
00:06:56,621 --> 00:06:57,901
made with icing sugar
and softened butter - it's the jam.
252
00:06:57,901 --> 00:06:59,821
That's it. You're a natural!
253
00:06:59,821 --> 00:07:01,101
I don't think I am!
254
00:07:01,101 --> 00:07:03,141
Great. All right, OK...
255
00:07:03,141 --> 00:07:03,381
Great. All right, OK...
256
00:07:03,381 --> 00:07:04,261
That's it.
257
00:07:05,421 --> 00:07:07,461
And to finish, a thinly-spread
layer of more buttercream icing.
258
00:07:07,461 --> 00:07:09,021
And to finish, a thinly-spread
layer of more buttercream icing.
259
00:07:10,621 --> 00:07:12,661
You see, already it starts looking
great, doesn't it?
260
00:07:12,661 --> 00:07:12,901
You see, already it starts looking
great, doesn't it?
261
00:07:12,901 --> 00:07:14,221
You're such a natural.
262
00:07:14,221 --> 00:07:15,461
Brilliant. Honestly!
263
00:07:15,461 --> 00:07:16,661
I've just taken the top off!
264
00:07:16,661 --> 00:07:17,861
Oh!
265
00:07:17,861 --> 00:07:19,421
THEY GIGGLE
266
00:07:21,141 --> 00:07:23,021
You said it too soon!
267
00:07:23,021 --> 00:07:24,981
Let's hope Erin masters
the art of icing
268
00:07:24,981 --> 00:07:26,861
before the mayor's tea party.
269
00:07:32,261 --> 00:07:34,301

277
00:07:45,021 --> 00:07:47,061

is that the Marquis who built it

281
00:07:51,741 --> 00:07:53,021
was the inspiration for a character
in the fairy tale, Puss in Boots.
282
00:07:53,021 --> 00:07:55,061
Well, my link to the chateau is
something of a fairy tale itself.

290
00:08:05,101 --> 00:08:07,141
"Now, this is the most beautiful
chateau I've ever seen in my life."
291

But...
310
00:08:38,461 --> 00:08:39,621
Alors.

00:09:21,501 --> 00:09:23,141
We do the garden in the morning
337
00:09:23,141 --> 00:09:24,821
and the rooms in the evening
338
00:09:24,821 --> 00:09:26,301
and to us it's heaven,
339
00:09:26,301 --> 00:09:28,341
but I'm sure to a lot of people
it would be hell.
340
00:09:28,341 --> 00:09:28,661
but I'm sure to a lot of people
it would be hell.
341
00:09:28,661 --> 00:09:30,701
So, you've got to know who you are
and make your choices.
342
00:09:30,701 --> 00:09:31,541
So, you've got to know who you are
and make your choices.

including a stint at Prince
Charles's palace in London,
352

including a stint at Prince
Charles's palace in London,
353
00:09:54,421 --> 00:09:56,461
but she's still untested
by this Charles...
354
00:09:56,461 --> 00:09:56,861
but she's still untested
by this Charles...
355
00:09:56,861 --> 00:09:58,381
Thank you for having us.
356
00:09:58,381 --> 00:10:00,421
..and she's keen to make
a good impression.
357
00:10:00,421 --> 00:10:00,741
..and she's keen to make
a good impression.
358
00:10:00,741 --> 00:10:02,781
Right, so, we've moved lunch
back to 12:30pm,
359
00:10:02,781 --> 00:10:03,141
Right, so, we've moved lunch
back to 12:30pm,
360
00:10:03,141 --> 00:10:04,981
so that gives us...45 minutes,
361
00:10:04,981 --> 00:10:06,861
so we'll do a walk around,
362
00:10:06,861 --> 00:10:08,861
because obviously,
you've not been here before.
363
00:10:08,861 --> 00:10:10,701
Obviously, we need to talk
about weather,
364
00:10:10,701 --> 00:10:12,701
the potential for any
bad weather tomorrow,
365
00:10:12,701 --> 00:10:14,381
and talk about the
contingency plan.
366
00:10:14,381 --> 00:10:15,781
OK. Sounds great.
367
00:10:15,781 --> 00:10:17,461
Will you please come, then?
368
00:10:19,221 --> 00:10:21,261
The weekend weather forecast
is mixed,
369
00:10:21,261 --> 00:10:21,741
The weekend weather forecast
is mixed,
370
00:10:21,741 --> 00:10:23,781
so they're working out dry and wet
weather options
371
00:10:23,781 --> 00:10:24,221
so they're working out dry and wet
weather options
372
00:10:24,221 --> 00:10:25,941
for the two-day event.
373
00:10:25,941 --> 00:10:27,981
So, obviously, you've got quite a
busy schedule this afternoon!
374
00:10:27,981 --> 00:10:29,261
So, obviously, you've got quite a
busy schedule this afternoon!
375
00:10:30,621 --> 00:10:32,661
The biggest pressure I feel is
living up to their expectations
376
00:10:32,661 --> 00:10:33,621
The biggest pressure I feel is
living up to their expectations
377
00:10:33,621 --> 00:10:35,661
and ensuring that they're
happy with everything.
378
00:10:35,661 --> 00:10:35,901
and ensuring that they're
happy with everything.
379
00:10:35,901 --> 00:10:37,421
After you!
380
00:10:37,421 --> 00:10:39,461
You have to make sure that
every single wedding
381
00:10:39,461 --> 00:10:39,941
You have to make sure that
every single wedding
382
00:10:39,941 --> 00:10:41,981
is the best wedding you've ever
done, because if you slip up,
383
00:10:41,981 --> 00:10:42,581
is the best wedding you've ever
done, because if you slip up,
384
00:10:42,581 --> 00:10:44,381
then you're going to lose a lot
of contacts.
385
00:10:44,381 --> 00:10:46,421
We want to do a cocktail inside...
386
00:10:46,421 --> 00:10:47,221
We want to do a cocktail inside...
387
00:10:47,221 --> 00:10:49,261
Then it will go out to here.
388
00:10:49,261 --> 00:10:49,621
Then it will go out to here.
389
00:10:49,621 --> 00:10:51,661
This is the first time the couple
have seen around the chateau.
390
00:10:51,661 --> 00:10:52,781
This is the first time the couple
have seen around the chateau.
391
00:10:52,781 --> 00:10:54,141
SAMUEL: A real fireplace.
392
00:10:55,181 --> 00:10:56,541
Oh, yes, it's a real house!
393
00:10:57,581 --> 00:10:58,741
It's not Walt Disney!
394
00:11:00,141 --> 00:11:01,701
We absolutely adore this venue.
395
00:11:01,701 --> 00:11:03,741
It's obviously incredibly beautiful.
396
00:11:03,741 --> 00:11:05,421
We would love to work here again,
397
00:11:05,421 --> 00:11:07,461
and of course, that all lies on us
doing an amazing job.
398
00:11:07,461 --> 00:11:09,061
and of course, that all lies on us
doing an amazing job.
399
00:11:09,061 --> 00:11:11,061
It's in this state room that Sarah's
got tonight's welcome party planned.
400
00:11:11,061 --> 00:11:13,101
It's in this state room that Sarah's
got tonight's welcome party planned.
401
00:11:13,101 --> 00:11:13,501
It's in this state room that Sarah's
got tonight's welcome party planned.
402
00:11:13,501 --> 00:11:15,541
Right, so, everybody will
come down to here for 7:00pm
403
00:11:15,541 --> 00:11:16,941
Right, so, everybody will
come down to here for 7:00pm
404
00:11:16,941 --> 00:11:18,981
and then we'll bring you
through to dinner,
405
00:11:18,981 --> 00:11:20,021
and then we'll bring you
through to dinner,
406
00:11:20,021 --> 00:11:21,861
so, we'll go back to the
front of the chateau.
407
00:11:24,301 --> 00:11:26,341
Right, so for tomorrow,
in a good weather scenario,
408
00:11:26,341 --> 00:11:27,141
Right, so for tomorrow,
in a good weather scenario,
409
00:11:27,141 --> 00:11:29,181
ceremony this side or
the other side?
410
00:11:29,181 --> 00:11:29,501
ceremony this side or
the other side?
411
00:11:29,501 --> 00:11:31,541
To answer that, you probably
want to see the other side!
412
00:11:31,541 --> 00:11:31,781
To answer that, you probably
want to see the other side!
413
00:11:31,781 --> 00:11:33,621
So, let's walk through.
414
00:11:33,621 --> 00:11:35,661
Anything that goes wrong will not
be the fault of the supplier.
415
00:11:35,661 --> 00:11:36,741
Anything that goes wrong will not
be the fault of the supplier.
416
00:11:36,741 --> 00:11:38,501
It will be the fault of the chateau,
417
00:11:38,501 --> 00:11:40,421
so that's why it's important
to be nosy.
418
00:11:40,421 --> 00:11:42,461
You could walk down here
to come to the ceremony.
419
00:11:42,461 --> 00:11:42,941
You could walk down here
to come to the ceremony.
420
00:11:42,941 --> 00:11:44,981
I'm not going to be difficult
in any way, nor TOO nosy,
421
00:11:44,981 --> 00:11:46,701
I'm not going to be difficult
in any way, nor TOO nosy,
422
00:11:46,701 --> 00:11:48,741
but I am hanging in the background,
so that I can see what's happening.
423
00:11:48,741 --> 00:11:50,781
but I am hanging in the background,
so that I can see what's happening.
424
00:11:50,781 --> 00:11:51,501
but I am hanging in the background,
so that I can see what's happening.
425
00:11:51,501 --> 00:11:53,541
Now, Faith is going to be putting
flowers around these stairs.
426
00:11:53,541 --> 00:11:54,501
Now, Faith is going to be putting
flowers around these stairs.
427
00:11:54,501 --> 00:11:56,541
Perfect for photographs,
for your group photographs.
428
00:11:56,541 --> 00:11:56,901
Perfect for photographs,
for your group photographs.
429
00:11:56,901 --> 00:11:58,941
Then we would probably move you
round to the front
430
00:11:58,941 --> 00:11:59,341
Then we would probably move you
round to the front
431
00:11:59,341 --> 00:12:01,061
for the canape reception...
432
00:12:01,061 --> 00:12:02,021
Perfect!
433
00:12:03,101 --> 00:12:04,981
With the locations sorted,
434
00:12:04,981 --> 00:12:07,021
it's now down to Charles and Sarah
to make it all run smoothly.
435
00:12:07,021 --> 00:12:08,341
it's now down to Charles and Sarah
to make it all run smoothly.
436
00:12:12,661 --> 00:12:13,901
Coming up...
437
00:12:13,901 --> 00:12:15,941
What do you think? Will it work?
438
00:12:15,941 --> 00:12:16,261
What do you think? Will it work?
439
00:12:16,261 --> 00:12:18,301
..a structural problem gets
a positive spin.
440
00:12:18,301 --> 00:12:18,541
..a structural problem gets
a positive spin.
441
00:12:18,541 --> 00:12:20,381
There's a good thing about the wall,
442
00:12:20,381 --> 00:12:22,421
which is it limits distractions.
443
00:12:22,421 --> 00:12:22,861
which is it limits distractions.
444
00:12:22,861 --> 00:12:24,541
Absolutely. Yeah, so...
445
00:12:24,541 --> 00:12:26,581
Has Erin found her true calling?
446
00:12:26,581 --> 00:12:26,821
Has Erin found her true calling?
447
00:12:26,821 --> 00:12:27,821
You are a natural.
448
00:12:27,821 --> 00:12:29,301
You just did the wrong career.
449
00:12:29,301 --> 00:12:30,701
You shouldn't have been a doctor!
450
00:12:30,701 --> 00:12:32,741
And Sarah's plan B proves essential.
451
00:12:32,741 --> 00:12:33,301
And Sarah's plan B proves essential.
452
00:12:33,301 --> 00:12:35,341
This will be the storm coming in,
probably!
453
00:12:35,341 --> 00:12:35,581
This will be the storm coming in,
probably!
454
00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:49,919
The 19th-century Chateau de la Vigne
455
00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:51,959

Welcome, you have all made it!

00:12:56,279 --> 00:12:56,519
Welcome, you have all made it!
460
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:58,319
During the off-peak season,
461
00:12:58,319 --> 00:13:00,359
with the help of daughter
Jade and son Jack,
462
00:13:00,359 --> 00:13:00,599

May runs a yoga and health retreat.
465
00:13:03,119 --> 00:13:05,159
Let's pass those brownies around,
as well, don't be shy!
466
00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:07,199
Let's pass those brownies around,
as well, don't be shy!
467
00:13:07,199 --> 00:13:07,479
Let's pass those brownies around,
as well, don't be shy!
468
00:13:07,479 --> 00:13:09,519
After extensive restoration works,
469
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:10,439
After extensive restoration works,
470
00:13:10,439 --> 00:13:12,479
they now have a dedicated
yoga studio in one
of their outbuildings.
471
00:13:12,479 --> 00:13:14,519
they now have a dedicated
yoga studio in one
of their outbuildings.
472
00:13:14,519 --> 00:13:14,879
they now have a dedicated
yoga studio in one
of their outbuildings.
473
00:13:14,879 --> 00:13:16,919
And guests on
health and wellbeing retreats
474
00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:17,159
And guests on
health and wellbeing retreats
475
00:13:17,159 --> 00:13:18,519
will have daily classes there.
476
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,719
Seems to have actually happened,
it's materialised.
477
00:13:21,719 --> 00:13:22,119
Seems to have actually happened,
it's materialised.
478
00:13:22,119 --> 00:13:24,159
I have got a yoga space, so I'm so
excited about that.
479
00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:26,079
I have got a yoga space, so I'm so
excited about that.
480
00:13:26,079 --> 00:13:28,119
The only slight hitch is a wall
in the middle,
481
00:13:28,119 --> 00:13:28,799
The only slight hitch is a wall
in the middle,
482
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:30,839
which means it's not quite
the open space she was hoping for.
483
00:13:30,839 --> 00:13:32,359
which means it's not quite
the open space she was hoping for.
484
00:13:32,359 --> 00:13:34,319
With classes due to start,
485

yoga teacher Jamie
is checking it out.
487
00:13:37,359 --> 00:13:38,919
So, what do you think?
488
00:13:38,919 --> 00:13:40,959
Well, it looks fabulous from the
outside, but the inside's just wow!
489
00:13:40,959 --> 00:13:42,999
Well, it looks fabulous from the
outside, but the inside's just wow!
490
00:13:42,999 --> 00:13:43,399
Well, it looks fabulous from the
outside, but the inside's just wow!
491
00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:45,439
Oh! You've done such a good job
with it!
492
00:13:45,439 --> 00:13:45,759
Oh! You've done such a good job
with it!
493
00:13:45,759 --> 00:13:47,799
Oh, I'm so pleased!
Yeah, it's fantastic!
494
00:13:47,799 --> 00:13:48,039
Oh, I'm so pleased!
Yeah, it's fantastic!
495
00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:49,439
There's a good thing about the wall,
496
00:13:49,439 --> 00:13:51,479
which is that you can
actually use it,
497
00:13:51,479 --> 00:13:51,799
which is that you can
actually use it,
498
00:13:51,799 --> 00:13:53,839
rather than think about it
as being a disadvantage.
499
00:13:53,839 --> 00:13:54,479
rather than think about it
as being a disadvantage.
500
00:13:54,479 --> 00:13:56,519
Because in lots of my classes,
501
00:13:56,519 --> 00:13:56,839
Because in lots of my classes,
502
00:13:56,839 --> 00:13:58,879
I teach inversions -
headstand, handstand -
503
00:13:58,879 --> 00:13:59,519
I teach inversions -
headstand, handstand -
504
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:01,559
and actually you can use the wall to
support people. Oh, wow. Yes.
505
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:02,719
and actually you can use the wall to
support people. Oh, wow. Yes.
506
00:14:02,719 --> 00:14:04,759
So instead of it
being something, you know,
507
00:14:04,759 --> 00:14:05,079
So instead of it
being something, you know,
508
00:14:05,079 --> 00:14:07,119
detrimental to the space,
it could be advantageous.
509
00:14:07,119 --> 00:14:07,759
detrimental to the space,
it could be advantageous.
510
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:09,799
Also, what really distracts people
in a yoga class
511
00:14:09,799 --> 00:14:10,959
Also, what really distracts people
in a yoga class
512
00:14:10,959 --> 00:14:12,999
is looking at each other.
Yes, absolutely.
513
00:14:12,999 --> 00:14:13,679
is looking at each other.
Yes, absolutely.
514
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,719
So because the wall's there, it adds
this element of, not privacy, but...
515
00:14:15,719 --> 00:14:17,759
So because the wall's there, it adds
this element of, not privacy, but...
516
00:14:17,759 --> 00:14:18,679
So because the wall's there, it adds
this element of, not privacy, but...
517
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,719
Being in their own little zone.
Yeah, it limits distractions.
518
00:14:20,719 --> 00:14:21,839
Being in their own little zone.
Yeah, it limits distractions.
519
00:14:21,839 --> 00:14:23,879
Oh, I love it. So that's another
positive. So positive!
520
00:14:23,879 --> 00:14:25,119
Oh, I love it. So that's another
positive. So positive!
521
00:14:25,119 --> 00:14:27,159
I'm going to continue to think
of more and more
522
00:14:27,159 --> 00:14:27,479
I'm going to continue to think
of more and more
523
00:14:27,479 --> 00:14:29,519
positive things about that wall!
Perfect! Are you proud?
524
00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:30,599
positive things about that wall!
Perfect! Are you proud?
525
00:14:30,599 --> 00:14:32,639
Oh, I'm really proud.
I'm very excited, as well.
526
00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:33,519
Oh, I'm really proud.
I'm very excited, as well.
527
00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:35,559
I can't wait to run the first class!
Me, too. Really excited.
528
00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:36,359
I can't wait to run the first class!
Me, too. Really excited.
529
00:14:38,759 --> 00:14:40,759
With Jamie totally onboard,
530
00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:42,799
the studio's ready
for the first yoga class.
531
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:43,359
the studio's ready
for the first yoga class.
532
00:14:43,359 --> 00:14:45,399
Bring our palms together and just
rest the hands against the chest.
533
00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:46,839
Bring our palms together and just
rest the hands against the chest.
534
00:14:46,839 --> 00:14:48,439
There's added pressure,
535
00:14:48,439 --> 00:14:50,479
as among the guests is journalist
Louise Atkinson,
536
00:14:50,479 --> 00:14:51,479
as among the guests is journalist
Louise Atkinson,
537
00:14:51,479 --> 00:14:53,519
who's reviewing the retreat.
538
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:53,839
who's reviewing the retreat.
539
00:14:53,839 --> 00:14:55,879
OK, I just want you to breathe
naturally for a few breaths.
540
00:14:55,879 --> 00:14:56,679
OK, I just want you to breathe
naturally for a few breaths.
541
00:14:56,679 --> 00:14:58,719
May's there, too,
checking that all is going well.
542
00:14:58,719 --> 00:14:59,719
May's there, too,
checking that all is going well.
543
00:14:59,719 --> 00:15:01,759
Try to release any tension from
the shoulders.
544
00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:02,279
Try to release any tension from
the shoulders.
545
00:15:02,279 --> 00:15:04,319
I've been waiting for
this moment for a very long time,
546
00:15:04,319 --> 00:15:04,719
I've been waiting for
this moment for a very long time,
547
00:15:04,719 --> 00:15:06,759
and I cannot believe
we've actually arrived.
548
00:15:06,759 --> 00:15:07,679
and I cannot believe
we've actually arrived.
549
00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:09,399
It's just incredible.
550
00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:11,439
I'm so thrilled to have that
dedicated space
551
00:15:11,439 --> 00:15:12,319
I'm so thrilled to have that
dedicated space
552
00:15:12,319 --> 00:15:14,359
that I dreamed of,
and I think they all love it.
553
00:15:14,359 --> 00:15:14,919
that I dreamed of,
and I think they all love it.

Anaesthetist-turned-chateau-owner
Erin is in our kitchen with Angel,
557
00:15:25,119 --> 00:15:27,159
adding cake-decorating
to her range of skills.
558
00:15:27,159 --> 00:15:28,399
adding cake-decorating
to her range of skills.
559
00:15:28,399 --> 00:15:30,439
It's a dress rehearsal for the
mayor's tea party,
560
00:15:30,439 --> 00:15:30,999
It's a dress rehearsal for the
mayor's tea party,
561
00:15:30,999 --> 00:15:33,039
that they're holding
in a few weeks' time.
562
00:15:33,039 --> 00:15:33,439
that they're holding
in a few weeks' time.
563
00:15:33,439 --> 00:15:35,279
Great, OK.
564
00:15:35,279 --> 00:15:37,199
Now they're ready to add
the final layer
565
00:15:37,199 --> 00:15:38,879
of crumb-free buttercream icing.
566
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:43,559
Do it at the top, go out to the edge
and then go round the sides.
567
00:15:43,559 --> 00:15:45,599
Do it at the top, go out to the edge
and then go round the sides.
568
00:15:45,599 --> 00:15:46,719
Do it at the top, go out to the edge
and then go round the sides.
569
00:15:46,719 --> 00:15:48,759
And it's literally just a
final, quite thin, skim. OK.
570
00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:49,879
And it's literally just a
final, quite thin, skim. OK.
571
00:15:49,879 --> 00:15:51,999
You want to have a go? All right!
572
00:15:51,999 --> 00:15:54,039
Go on, do it, do it!
Look, for me, you can't go wrong.
573
00:15:54,039 --> 00:15:55,559
Go on, do it, do it!
Look, for me, you can't go wrong.
574
00:15:55,559 --> 00:15:57,599
You can't! So it needs to be a
really thin skim now.
575
00:15:57,599 --> 00:15:58,559
You can't! So it needs to be a
really thin skim now.
576
00:15:58,559 --> 00:16:00,599
OK? Done like a pro.
577
00:16:00,599 --> 00:16:00,959
OK? Done like a pro.
578
00:16:00,959 --> 00:16:02,999
This is a crumb-free topper. Yes.
579
00:16:02,999 --> 00:16:04,719
This is a crumb-free topper. Yes.
580
00:16:04,719 --> 00:16:06,759
I feel like you're getting
a little bit more confident,
581
00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:07,359
I feel like you're getting
a little bit more confident,
582
00:16:07,359 --> 00:16:09,399
so scrape a bit harder, as well.
Yeah, I think so.
583
00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:09,959
so scrape a bit harder, as well.
Yeah, I think so.
584
00:16:09,959 --> 00:16:11,999
Listen, if you saw that in a shop,
585
00:16:11,999 --> 00:16:12,359
Listen, if you saw that in a shop,
586
00:16:12,359 --> 00:16:14,279
you'd want to buy it, wouldn't you?
587
00:16:14,279 --> 00:16:16,319
You'd certainly want to eat it!
588
00:16:16,319 --> 00:16:16,959
You'd certainly want to eat it!
589
00:16:16,959 --> 00:16:18,999
You are a natural -
you just did the wrong career.
590
00:16:18,999 --> 00:16:19,759
You are a natural -
you just did the wrong career.
591
00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:21,759
You shouldn't have been a doctor,
592
00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:23,799
saving people's lives
or any of that.
593
00:16:23,799 --> 00:16:24,679
saving people's lives
or any of that.
594
00:16:24,679 --> 00:16:26,719
With the cakes iced,
it's time for the decoration,
595
00:16:26,719 --> 00:16:27,839
With the cakes iced,
it's time for the decoration,
596
00:16:27,839 --> 00:16:29,879
using some flowers straight
from our garden.
597
00:16:29,879 --> 00:16:30,599
using some flowers straight
from our garden.
598
00:16:30,599 --> 00:16:32,639
Bit of floristry tape,
really simple to use.
599
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:33,359
Bit of floristry tape,
really simple to use.
600
00:16:33,359 --> 00:16:34,519
Put it on.
601
00:16:35,919 --> 00:16:36,879
Put it around.
602
00:16:38,359 --> 00:16:40,399
Make sure you cover all
of the stem.
603
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:40,719
Make sure you cover all
of the stem.
604
00:16:40,719 --> 00:16:42,759
I think you're a little bit more
creative than you let on.
605
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:43,199
I think you're a little bit more
creative than you let on.
606
00:16:43,199 --> 00:16:45,239
So I don't need to show you this,
but let's do it together.
607
00:16:45,239 --> 00:16:45,959
So I don't need to show you this,
but let's do it together.
608
00:16:51,199 --> 00:16:53,239
Things look always slightly nicer
asymmetric, as well.
609
00:16:53,239 --> 00:16:54,719
Things look always slightly nicer
asymmetric, as well.
610
00:16:54,719 --> 00:16:56,759
So we're going to get a little bit
more of the botanical. Mm-hm.
611
00:16:56,759 --> 00:16:57,879
So we're going to get a little bit
more of the botanical. Mm-hm.
612
00:16:57,879 --> 00:16:59,919
Bring it round the side.
613
00:16:59,919 --> 00:17:00,079
Bring it round the side.
614
00:17:04,879 --> 00:17:06,919
I know Dick takes the mickey out
of me all the time -
615
00:17:06,919 --> 00:17:07,399
I know Dick takes the mickey out
of me all the time -
616
00:17:07,399 --> 00:17:08,879
he kind of needs to do this!
617
00:17:10,719 --> 00:17:12,479
Looks good, the cascade.
618
00:17:12,479 --> 00:17:14,519
But it does, you're fine!
619
00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:14,679
But it does, you're fine!
620
00:17:16,399 --> 00:17:18,439
I wouldn't even go too much more
messy on that now.
621
00:17:18,439 --> 00:17:19,439
I wouldn't even go too much more
messy on that now.
622
00:17:19,439 --> 00:17:21,399
I think it looks quite sweet.
623
00:17:21,399 --> 00:17:23,439
I think the point is that it's just
about having a bit of fun, isn't it?
624
00:17:23,439 --> 00:17:25,479
I think the point is that it's just
about having a bit of fun, isn't it?
625
00:17:25,479 --> 00:17:26,399
I think the point is that it's just
about having a bit of fun, isn't it?
626
00:17:26,399 --> 00:17:28,439
So, right.
627
00:17:28,439 --> 00:17:29,239
So, right.
628
00:17:29,239 --> 00:17:30,959
Lovely!
629
00:17:30,959 --> 00:17:32,839
What do you reckon? Yeah!
630
00:17:32,839 --> 00:17:34,879
I feel like nearly I should
high-five you!
631
00:17:34,879 --> 00:17:35,799
I feel like nearly I should
high-five you!
632
00:17:35,799 --> 00:17:36,999
Go on, then! Well done!
633
00:17:38,159 --> 00:17:39,759
Great job.
634
00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:41,799
I reckon that's a cake fit
for a mayor.
635
00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:42,519
I reckon that's a cake fit
for a mayor.
636
00:17:42,519 --> 00:17:44,279
Thank you so much.
It's been really great!
637
00:17:44,279 --> 00:17:46,319
Ah, it was lovely meeting you.
Thank you!
638
00:17:46,319 --> 00:17:46,639
Ah, it was lovely meeting you.
Thank you!
639
00:17:46,639 --> 00:17:48,439
Do you feel like you've got some
of the tools?
640
00:17:48,439 --> 00:17:50,479
Yeah, I do! It's been really,
really useful. Thank you so much.
641
00:17:50,479 --> 00:17:51,119
Yeah, I do! It's been really,
really useful. Thank you so much.
642
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,159
Great, you know what? If you've got
confidence, that's all you need!
643
00:17:53,159 --> 00:17:54,759
Great, you know what? If you've got
confidence, that's all you need!
644
00:17:54,759 --> 00:17:56,799
Cos you've got some skills,
I've seen. That's very kind of you.
Best of luck.
645
00:17:56,799 --> 00:17:58,319
Cos you've got some skills,
I've seen. That's very kind of you.
Best of luck.
646
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,159
Angel spending that time with me
today has, yeah, it's given me a bit
647
00:18:02,159 --> 00:18:03,919
Angel spending that time with me
today has, yeah, it's given me a bit
648
00:18:03,919 --> 00:18:05,959
of a boost that I'll hopefully
be able to pull it all off.
649
00:18:05,959 --> 00:18:06,999
of a boost that I'll hopefully
be able to pull it all off.
650
00:18:06,999 --> 00:18:08,039
Fingers crossed!
651
00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:17,319
At Chateau de Saint-Loup
in the Loire Valley,
652
00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:18,079

OK, I think we're done on that one.

659
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,399
So it's 14 chairs on each side.
660
00:18:28,399 --> 00:18:28,759
So it's 14 chairs on each side.
661
00:18:28,759 --> 00:18:30,279
That's OK here.
662
00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:32,319
It's the first time Sarah has
worked with Charles,
663
00:18:32,319 --> 00:18:32,759
It's the first time Sarah has
worked with Charles,
664
00:18:32,759 --> 00:18:34,799
and he's keeping a close eye
on progress.
665
00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:35,679
and he's keeping a close eye
on progress.
666
00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:37,719
The two here, at least,
I'd say should go down.
667
00:18:37,719 --> 00:18:38,439
The two here, at least,
I'd say should go down.
668
00:18:38,439 --> 00:18:40,479
OK, let's move this one and see.
669
00:18:40,479 --> 00:18:40,799
OK, let's move this one and see.
670
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:42,839
For the moment, I'm quite happy
with what Sarah's done.
671
00:18:42,839 --> 00:18:44,119
For the moment, I'm quite happy
with what Sarah's done.
672
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,999
It's the first time she's calm,
673
00:18:45,999 --> 00:18:48,039
and so we've got to get used to each
other. We're not very fast,
674
00:18:48,039 --> 00:18:49,479
and so we've got to get used to each
other. We're not very fast,
675
00:18:49,479 --> 00:18:51,519
so that we can have a peep and
say when things happen.
676
00:18:51,519 --> 00:18:52,479
so that we can have a peep and
say when things happen.
677
00:18:57,759 --> 00:18:59,799
Before Sarah
can start decorating areas,
678
00:18:59,799 --> 00:19:00,679
Before Sarah
can start decorating areas,
679
00:19:00,679 --> 00:19:02,719
she needs to know whether
that overcast sky
680
00:19:02,719 --> 00:19:03,199
she needs to know whether
that overcast sky
681
00:19:03,199 --> 00:19:05,239
might put paid
to an outdoor ceremony.
682
00:19:05,239 --> 00:19:06,039
might put paid
to an outdoor ceremony.
683
00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:08,079
Fiona, could you just
check your weather forecast?
684
00:19:08,079 --> 00:19:08,519
Fiona, could you just
check your weather forecast?
685
00:19:08,519 --> 00:19:09,919
It's getting a bit blustery.
686
00:19:12,079 --> 00:19:14,119
Sunny intervals
and a moderate breeze. OK.
687
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:14,439
Sunny intervals
and a moderate breeze. OK.
688
00:19:14,439 --> 00:19:16,239
So this is just the
moderate breeze I'm feeling,
689
00:19:16,239 --> 00:19:18,279
it's not a storm on its way.
SHE LAUGHS
690
00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:19,039
it's not a storm on its way.
SHE LAUGHS
691
00:19:19,039 --> 00:19:21,079
But Sarah's not convinced by
the forecast.
692
00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:21,879
But Sarah's not convinced by
the forecast.
693
00:19:21,879 --> 00:19:23,919
So this will be the storm coming in
probably.
694
00:19:23,919 --> 00:19:25,599
So this will be the storm coming in
probably.
695
00:19:25,599 --> 00:19:27,639
I'm getting a little worried,
given the change overnight
696
00:19:27,639 --> 00:19:29,679
I'm getting a little worried,
given the change overnight
697
00:19:29,679 --> 00:19:31,719
and the weather
forecast for tomorrow,
it's definitely of concern.
698
00:19:31,719 --> 00:19:32,759
and the weather
forecast for tomorrow,
it's definitely of concern.
699
00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:34,799
Sarah's got another option up
her sleeve, just in case.
700
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:35,919
Sarah's got another option up
her sleeve, just in case.
701
00:19:35,919 --> 00:19:37,959
There is a plan B - we get
everything inside the chateau,
702
00:19:37,959 --> 00:19:38,199
There is a plan B - we get
everything inside the chateau,
703
00:19:38,199 --> 00:19:39,639
into one of the reception rooms.
704
00:19:39,639 --> 00:19:41,679
With these numbers,
it's not such a concern,
705
00:19:41,679 --> 00:19:42,359
With these numbers,
it's not such a concern,
706
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,399
because we can move those between us
pretty quickly if we had to.
707
00:19:44,399 --> 00:19:46,039
because we can move those between us
pretty quickly if we had to.
708
00:19:46,039 --> 00:19:48,079
But we'll make that call
a little bit later.
709
00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:48,879
But we'll make that call
a little bit later.
710
00:19:51,639 --> 00:19:53,679
For now, though,
there's a more pressing problem -
711
00:19:53,679 --> 00:19:54,519
For now, though,
there's a more pressing problem -
712
00:19:54,519 --> 00:19:56,559
the bridegroom's parents have
an issue with their bedroom.
713
00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:58,319
the bridegroom's parents have
an issue with their bedroom.
714
00:19:58,319 --> 00:19:59,679
The parents of Samuel...
715
00:19:59,679 --> 00:20:01,719
Yes? ..their room,
want to add two more beds.
716
00:20:01,719 --> 00:20:03,159
Yes? ..their room,
want to add two more beds.
717
00:20:03,159 --> 00:20:05,199
There are bats in the room?
OK, I'll leave you with...
718
00:20:05,199 --> 00:20:05,919
There are bats in the room?
OK, I'll leave you with...
719
00:20:05,919 --> 00:20:07,959
They've left the light on
and the window open.
720
00:20:07,959 --> 00:20:08,639
They've left the light on
and the window open.
721
00:20:08,639 --> 00:20:10,679
Was the window open
with the light on? No, no, no.
722
00:20:10,679 --> 00:20:11,039
Was the window open
with the light on? No, no, no.
723
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:13,039
Oh, so the bats have gone
into the room?
724
00:20:13,039 --> 00:20:15,079
Or they were already in the room?
No, they came in.
725
00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:15,399
Or they were already in the room?
No, they came in.
726
00:20:15,399 --> 00:20:17,279
OK. I'm sure there were
no bats before!
727
00:20:17,279 --> 00:20:19,319
I think maybe it's too soft.
Oh, the bed!
728
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:20,119
I think maybe it's too soft.
Oh, the bed!
729
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,079
Oh, the bed!
730
00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:24,119
Sorry, I thought you said
"bats had come into the room"!
731
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:24,359
Sorry, I thought you said
"bats had come into the room"!
732
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,399
No, no, no! The bed, OK!
733
00:20:26,399 --> 00:20:26,999
No, no, no! The bed, OK!
734
00:20:26,999 --> 00:20:29,039
Ah, the perils
of international communication.
735
00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:30,079
Ah, the perils
of international communication.
736
00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:32,119
Glad they got to the bottom
of that problem.
737
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:32,439
Glad they got to the bottom
of that problem.
738
00:20:32,439 --> 00:20:34,479
You want an extra bed in there?
Yes. Extra two.
739
00:20:34,479 --> 00:20:35,479
You want an extra bed in there?
Yes. Extra two.
740
00:20:35,479 --> 00:20:37,519
Two extra beds?
How many are you in there?
741
00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:38,359
Two extra beds?
How many are you in there?
742
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,399
Just two. But these two
are too soft for them.
743
00:20:40,399 --> 00:20:41,959
Just two. But these two
are too soft for them.
744
00:20:41,959 --> 00:20:43,999
All right. OK.
We'll see what we can do.
745
00:20:43,999 --> 00:20:44,319
All right. OK.
We'll see what we can do.
746
00:20:44,319 --> 00:20:46,199
Charles agrees to put in
another bed,
747
00:20:46,199 --> 00:20:48,239
leaving Sarah to concentrate on
tonight's welcome celebrations.
748
00:20:48,239 --> 00:20:49,399
leaving Sarah to concentrate on
tonight's welcome celebrations.
749
00:20:49,399 --> 00:20:51,159
I'm good. OK.
750
00:20:55,559 --> 00:20:57,599
Upstairs, Charles is busy
housekeeping with his wife, Sophie.
751
00:20:57,599 --> 00:20:59,639
Upstairs, Charles is busy
housekeeping with his wife, Sophie.
752
00:20:59,639 --> 00:21:00,599
Upstairs, Charles is busy
housekeeping with his wife, Sophie.
753
00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:02,639
We were asked to put in
an extra bed, so we're doing it.
754
00:21:02,639 --> 00:21:03,959
We were asked to put in
an extra bed, so we're doing it.
755
00:21:05,879 --> 00:21:07,919
Tonight's meal is outside, but it's
still not clear whether the ceremony
756
00:21:07,919 --> 00:21:09,959
Tonight's meal is outside, but it's
still not clear whether the ceremony
757
00:21:09,959 --> 00:21:10,279
Tonight's meal is outside, but it's
still not clear whether the ceremony
758
00:21:10,279 --> 00:21:12,319
will also be in the
open air tomorrow.
759
00:21:12,319 --> 00:21:12,639
will also be in the
open air tomorrow.
760
00:21:12,639 --> 00:21:14,679
I'm hoping that the high winds that
we've had today have actually blown
761
00:21:14,679 --> 00:21:16,359
I'm hoping that the high winds that
we've had today have actually blown
762
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,239
the storm through a bit quicker.
763
00:21:18,239 --> 00:21:20,279
We'll find out in the morning,
I suppose, when we wake up and see.
764
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:21,279
We'll find out in the morning,
I suppose, when we wake up and see.
765
00:21:24,519 --> 00:21:25,639
Coming up...
766
00:21:25,639 --> 00:21:26,919
You've just woken up?
767
00:21:26,919 --> 00:21:28,959
..May's children have
to pull together...
768
00:21:28,959 --> 00:21:30,999
Get over here,
cos breakfast is in 20 minutes.
769
00:21:30,999 --> 00:21:31,559
Get over here,
cos breakfast is in 20 minutes.
770
00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:33,599
..Charles can't resist keeping an
eye on Sarah...
771
00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:34,039
..Charles can't resist keeping an
eye on Sarah...
772
00:21:34,039 --> 00:21:36,079
It could have been on its side,
it would be nicer. OK.
773
00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:37,079
It could have been on its side,
it would be nicer. OK.
774
00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:39,119
..while JB and Erin
also need to work as a team.
775
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:39,839
..while JB and Erin
also need to work as a team.
776
00:21:41,919 --> 00:21:42,959
I can't see anything.
777
00:21:54,261 --> 00:21:56,301
At Chateau de Bourneau, Erin
and JB are preparing a tea
778
00:21:56,301 --> 00:21:57,861
At Chateau de Bourneau, Erin
and JB are preparing a tea
779
00:21:57,861 --> 00:21:59,901
party for the mayor that will also
launch their events business.
780
00:21:59,901 --> 00:22:01,941
party for the mayor that will also
launch their events business.
781
00:22:01,941 --> 00:22:02,181
party for the mayor that will also
launch their events business.
782
00:22:02,181 --> 00:22:04,021
What do you think is the better one?
783
00:22:04,021 --> 00:22:06,061
Do you think that one's nicer for
the top?
784
00:22:06,061 --> 00:22:06,821
Do you think that one's nicer for
the top?
785
00:22:06,821 --> 00:22:08,861
Erin is making the centrepiece
for the party, a Victoria sponge.
786
00:22:08,861 --> 00:22:10,901
Erin is making the centrepiece
for the party, a Victoria sponge.
787
00:22:10,901 --> 00:22:11,141
Erin is making the centrepiece
for the party, a Victoria sponge.
788
00:22:11,141 --> 00:22:13,181
Are they both the same thickness?
789
00:22:13,181 --> 00:22:13,901
Are they both the same thickness?
790
00:22:13,901 --> 00:22:15,421
Erm...
791
00:22:15,421 --> 00:22:17,141
No, because I haven't got uniform
tins.
792
00:22:17,141 --> 00:22:18,501
I would say that one is the nicest.
793
00:22:18,501 --> 00:22:20,541
We've invited quite a lot of people,
local people, our neighbours,
794
00:22:20,541 --> 00:22:22,461
We've invited quite a lot of people,
local people, our neighbours,
795
00:22:22,461 --> 00:22:24,501
people who've helped us along,
people who we like to work with...
796
00:22:24,501 --> 00:22:26,461
people who've helped us along,
people who we like to work with...
797
00:22:26,461 --> 00:22:27,581
And the problem is,
798
00:22:27,581 --> 00:22:29,421
we don't actually know how many
people are coming.
799
00:22:29,421 --> 00:22:31,461
It could be 5 or it could be 45.
800
00:22:31,461 --> 00:22:31,901
It could be 5 or it could be 45.
801
00:22:31,901 --> 00:22:33,941
JB's doing his bit
and making biscuits.
802
00:22:33,941 --> 00:22:35,301
JB's doing his bit
and making biscuits.
803
00:22:35,301 --> 00:22:37,341
It's also going to be the first time
we're going to meet
804
00:22:37,341 --> 00:22:37,741
It's also going to be the first time
we're going to meet
805
00:22:37,741 --> 00:22:39,781
a lot of our direct neighbours,
which is quite important
806
00:22:39,781 --> 00:22:41,261
a lot of our direct neighbours,
which is quite important
807
00:22:41,261 --> 00:22:43,301
because, obviously, we want to
organise events here.
808
00:22:43,301 --> 00:22:44,061
because, obviously, we want to
organise events here.
809
00:22:44,061 --> 00:22:46,101
This chateau has been the centre of
the community for many years,
810
00:22:46,101 --> 00:22:47,701
This chateau has been the centre of
the community for many years,
811
00:22:47,701 --> 00:22:49,741
and then when it became private
again, no-one was allowed in
812
00:22:49,741 --> 00:22:51,581
and then when it became private
again, no-one was allowed in
813
00:22:51,581 --> 00:22:53,621
and it's a bit of a shame and we
want to share it
814
00:22:53,621 --> 00:22:54,021
and it's a bit of a shame and we
want to share it
815
00:22:54,021 --> 00:22:56,061
and we'd love to have, you know, the
quatorze juillet parties
816
00:22:56,061 --> 00:22:56,741
and we'd love to have, you know, the
quatorze juillet parties
817
00:22:56,741 --> 00:22:58,781
and the harvest festivals and things
like that again.
818
00:22:58,781 --> 00:22:59,221
and the harvest festivals and things
like that again.
819
00:22:59,221 --> 00:23:01,261
I wonder if they expect this place
to be entirely done up by now?
820
00:23:01,261 --> 00:23:02,261
I wonder if they expect this place
to be entirely done up by now?
821
00:23:02,261 --> 00:23:04,301
I don't think so,
people know we've...
822
00:23:04,301 --> 00:23:04,661
I don't think so,
people know we've...
823
00:23:04,661 --> 00:23:05,621
I hope not.
824
00:23:10,061 --> 00:23:12,101
It needs to be tasted. Yeah, you're
right.
825
00:23:12,101 --> 00:23:12,261
It needs to be tasted. Yeah, you're
right.
826
00:23:15,941 --> 00:23:17,821
Mm. Good?
827
00:23:17,821 --> 00:23:19,501
Mm. Approved?
828
00:23:19,501 --> 00:23:21,541
If you need more help with, you
know, the crumbs
829
00:23:21,541 --> 00:23:22,581
If you need more help with, you
know, the crumbs
830
00:23:22,581 --> 00:23:24,621
that you don't want... Yep. ..I'm
here. Great.
831
00:23:24,621 --> 00:23:25,461
that you don't want... Yep. ..I'm
here. Great.
832
00:23:25,461 --> 00:23:27,461
So, when I went to Angel,
she gave me
833
00:23:27,461 --> 00:23:29,501
lots of really great top tips
about how to decorate cakes
834
00:23:29,501 --> 00:23:31,541
lots of really great top tips
about how to decorate cakes
835
00:23:31,541 --> 00:23:31,941
lots of really great top tips
about how to decorate cakes
836
00:23:31,941 --> 00:23:33,981
and she told me all the ingredients
and things that I needed to make
837
00:23:33,981 --> 00:23:34,661
and she told me all the ingredients
and things that I needed to make
838
00:23:34,661 --> 00:23:36,701
sure that I could do this properly,
so I duly went and ordered it
839
00:23:36,701 --> 00:23:37,541
sure that I could do this properly,
so I duly went and ordered it
840
00:23:37,541 --> 00:23:39,581
and obviously, being in rural
France, nothing's arrived.
841
00:23:39,581 --> 00:23:40,701
and obviously, being in rural
France, nothing's arrived.
842
00:23:40,701 --> 00:23:42,741
So, I'm making do with what we've
found around the house.
843
00:23:42,741 --> 00:23:43,381
So, I'm making do with what we've
found around the house.
844
00:23:46,261 --> 00:23:47,941
As we know only too well,
845
00:23:47,941 --> 00:23:49,981
being able to improvise is an
essential skill for chateau owners.
846
00:23:49,981 --> 00:23:52,021
being able to improvise is an
essential skill for chateau owners.
847
00:23:52,021 --> 00:23:52,501
being able to improvise is an
essential skill for chateau owners.
848
00:23:52,501 --> 00:23:53,781
And I have to say,
849
00:23:53,781 --> 00:23:55,821
the fish slice is not the easiest
device to be using here.
850
00:23:55,821 --> 00:23:57,861
the fish slice is not the easiest
device to be using here.
851
00:23:57,861 --> 00:23:58,101
the fish slice is not the easiest
device to be using here.
852
00:23:58,101 --> 00:23:59,541
But...
853
00:23:59,541 --> 00:24:01,181
It's all right.
Do you want a trowel?
854
00:24:02,741 --> 00:24:04,781
Erin and JB want to impress and plan
to show off the areas they've
855
00:24:04,781 --> 00:24:06,141
Erin and JB want to impress and plan
to show off the areas they've
856
00:24:06,141 --> 00:24:08,181
renovated ready for their wedding
and events business.
857
00:24:08,181 --> 00:24:10,221
renovated ready for their wedding
and events business.
858
00:24:10,221 --> 00:24:10,701
renovated ready for their wedding
and events business.
859
00:24:10,701 --> 00:24:12,741
But there's still a lot to do to
get the honeymoon suite
860
00:24:12,741 --> 00:24:13,181
But there's still a lot to do to
get the honeymoon suite
861
00:24:13,181 --> 00:24:15,221
and solarium ready for tomorrow.
862
00:24:15,221 --> 00:24:15,621
and solarium ready for tomorrow.
863
00:24:15,621 --> 00:24:17,661
I think the worst thing would be
if we have nothing to showcase.
864
00:24:17,661 --> 00:24:19,701
I think the worst thing would be
if we have nothing to showcase.
865
00:24:19,701 --> 00:24:20,021
I think the worst thing would be
if we have nothing to showcase.
866
00:24:20,021 --> 00:24:21,661
We don't want the tourism office
to come here
867
00:24:21,661 --> 00:24:23,701
and think, "Oh, my God"...
Absolutely not.
868
00:24:23,701 --> 00:24:23,861
and think, "Oh, my God"...
Absolutely not.
869
00:24:28,661 --> 00:24:30,661
To make matters even trickier,
870
00:24:30,661 --> 00:24:32,701
neither of them has much experience
when it comes to interior design.
871
00:24:32,701 --> 00:24:34,021
neither of them has much experience
when it comes to interior design.
872
00:24:35,741 --> 00:24:37,781
We're like two scientists trying to
be interior decorators,
873
00:24:37,781 --> 00:24:38,581
We're like two scientists trying to
be interior decorators,
874
00:24:38,581 --> 00:24:39,941
so, this is not...
875
00:24:39,941 --> 00:24:41,981
It's going to be very well
organized.
876
00:24:41,981 --> 00:24:42,301
It's going to be very well
organized.
877
00:24:42,301 --> 00:24:44,341
Let's thread some of this so it
looks like it's growing up it.
878
00:24:44,341 --> 00:24:46,381
Let's thread some of this so it
looks like it's growing up it.
879
00:24:46,381 --> 00:24:46,701
Let's thread some of this so it
looks like it's growing up it.
880
00:24:46,701 --> 00:24:48,741
That's just the sort of touch
my Angel would go for. I like it.
881
00:24:48,741 --> 00:24:50,221
That's just the sort of touch
my Angel would go for. I like it.
882
00:24:50,221 --> 00:24:52,261
Nothing like leaving it to the
last minute, eh?
883
00:24:52,261 --> 00:24:52,661
Nothing like leaving it to the
last minute, eh?
884
00:24:52,661 --> 00:24:54,701
Life would be boring otherwise,
I guess.
885
00:24:54,701 --> 00:24:55,261
Life would be boring otherwise,
I guess.
886
00:24:58,901 --> 00:25:00,941
In the honeymoon suite,
there's another job to do.
887
00:25:00,941 --> 00:25:02,701
In the honeymoon suite,
there's another job to do.
888
00:25:02,701 --> 00:25:04,741
The plaster frieze
they found is renovated
889
00:25:04,741 --> 00:25:05,301
The plaster frieze
they found is renovated
890
00:25:05,301 --> 00:25:07,261
and ready for installation.
891
00:25:07,261 --> 00:25:09,301
It'll be lovely to think it
was from this room.
892
00:25:09,301 --> 00:25:09,661
It'll be lovely to think it
was from this room.
893
00:25:09,661 --> 00:25:11,701
The hapless romantic in me
quite likes the idea of using
894
00:25:11,701 --> 00:25:13,341
The hapless romantic in me
quite likes the idea of using
895
00:25:13,341 --> 00:25:15,381
something that was original
and putting it
896
00:25:15,381 --> 00:25:16,221
something that was original
and putting it
897
00:25:16,221 --> 00:25:18,261
back in its rightful place, so it's
not forgotten and lost forever.
898
00:25:18,261 --> 00:25:19,661
back in its rightful place, so it's
not forgotten and lost forever.
899
00:25:19,661 --> 00:25:21,301
Well done.
900
00:25:21,301 --> 00:25:23,341
There's nothing more satisfying
than bringing a little
901
00:25:23,341 --> 00:25:24,101
There's nothing more satisfying
than bringing a little
902
00:25:24,101 --> 00:25:25,861
bit of chateau history back to life.
903
00:25:30,301 --> 00:25:32,341
Next, onto decorating the ballroom,
where they'll be serving tea.
904
00:25:32,341 --> 00:25:34,021
Next, onto decorating the ballroom,
where they'll be serving tea.
905
00:25:34,021 --> 00:25:36,061
How are we going to fix
the wisteria to the boiserie?
906
00:25:36,061 --> 00:25:36,661
How are we going to fix
the wisteria to the boiserie?
907
00:25:37,941 --> 00:25:39,981
Upstairs, they've got
loads of artificial flowers.
908
00:25:39,981 --> 00:25:41,941
Upstairs, they've got
loads of artificial flowers.
909
00:25:41,941 --> 00:25:43,981
Could look quite dramatic, couldn't
it? Let's go.
910
00:25:43,981 --> 00:25:44,701
Could look quite dramatic, couldn't
it? Let's go.
911
00:25:44,701 --> 00:25:46,541
Do you want me to help you with
that? No, it's fine.
912
00:25:46,541 --> 00:25:47,821
Hang on, just clear the space.
913
00:25:47,821 --> 00:25:49,821
I will need you to open doors.
914
00:25:49,821 --> 00:25:51,381
Yeah. That's all right.
915
00:25:51,381 --> 00:25:52,701
I can't see anything.
916
00:25:52,701 --> 00:25:54,141
Careful on the marble staircase.
Mm-hm.
917
00:25:55,261 --> 00:25:56,621
Do you want to carry it sideways
918
00:25:56,621 --> 00:25:58,341
and you can actually see where
you're going?
919
00:25:58,341 --> 00:26:00,381
I'm covered in flowers.
Like, Literally covered by flowers.
920
00:26:00,381 --> 00:26:01,581
I'm covered in flowers.
Like, Literally covered by flowers.
921
00:26:01,581 --> 00:26:03,581
ERIN LAUGHS
922
00:26:03,581 --> 00:26:05,621
Do you want to just adjust it
so you can see?
923
00:26:05,621 --> 00:26:07,661
I can see my left shoulder,
that's very useful.
924
00:26:07,661 --> 00:26:07,901
I can see my left shoulder,
that's very useful.
925
00:26:07,901 --> 00:26:09,381
I hope you know where we're going.
926
00:26:11,021 --> 00:26:12,501
Great teamwork, guys.
927
00:26:15,101 --> 00:26:16,221
When you said,
928
00:26:16,221 --> 00:26:18,261
"Right", I didn't know if it was
right turn or,
929
00:26:18,261 --> 00:26:18,501
"Right", I didn't know if it was
right turn or,
930
00:26:18,501 --> 00:26:20,061
"Right, we've arrived!
931
00:26:20,061 --> 00:26:21,941
OK, let's try and unwind this.
932
00:26:21,941 --> 00:26:23,541
Well done.
933
00:26:28,181 --> 00:26:30,221
At Chateau de la Vigne, the yoga
and health retreat is in full swing.
934

At Chateau de la Vigne, the yoga
and health retreat is in full swing.

At Chateau de la Vigne, the yoga
and health retreat is in full swing.
936
00:26:32,621 --> 00:26:34,661
I just want you to breathe
naturally for a few breaths.
937
00:26:34,661 --> 00:26:35,741
I just want you to breathe
naturally for a few breaths.
938
00:26:35,741 --> 00:26:37,781
Whilst chateau owner May
joins in with stretching

Whilst chateau owner May
joins in with stretching
940
00:26:38,101 --> 00:26:40,141
and flexing at the early
morning class...

00:26:40,141 --> 00:26:41,501
and flexing at the early
morning class...

00:26:41,501 --> 00:26:43,541
..son Jack is in charge of providing
all the nutritious meals for guests.

..son Jack is in charge of providing

..son Jack is in charge of providing
all the nutritious meals for guests.
945
00:26:46,941 --> 00:26:48,981
Yeah, 90% of my day is
here in the kitchen.
946
00:26:48,981 --> 00:26:49,621
Yeah, 90% of my day is
here in the kitchen.
947
00:26:49,621 --> 00:26:51,661
And actually, when the guests
are busy doing something,
948
00:26:51,661 --> 00:26:52,381
And actually, when the guests
are busy doing something,
949
00:26:52,381 --> 00:26:54,421
like a yoga session,
it gives us the time
950
00:26:54,421 --> 00:26:55,061
like a yoga session,
it gives us the time
951
00:26:55,061 --> 00:26:57,101
and space we need to run around
and get stuff sorted...
952
00:26:57,101 --> 00:26:59,141
and space we need to run around
and get stuff sorted...
953
00:26:59,141 --> 00:27:01,181
I say us, Jade's still in bed,
but she'll be with us shortly.
954
00:27:01,181 --> 00:27:02,701
I say us, Jade's still in bed,
but she'll be with us shortly.
955
00:27:02,701 --> 00:27:03,661
I hope.
956
00:27:06,541 --> 00:27:08,581
Jack's getting ahead
and prepping lunch
957
00:27:08,581 --> 00:27:09,181
Jack's getting ahead
and prepping lunch
958
00:27:09,181 --> 00:27:11,221
while he waits for Jade to emerge.
959
00:27:11,221 --> 00:27:11,461
while he waits for Jade to emerge.
960
00:27:11,461 --> 00:27:13,301
Making me cry, these onions.
961
00:27:13,301 --> 00:27:14,901
Typical.
962
00:27:14,901 --> 00:27:16,941
Properly crying, these ones.
They're strong French onions.
963
00:27:16,941 --> 00:27:17,421
Properly crying, these ones.
They're strong French onions.
964
00:27:18,821 --> 00:27:20,861
I've been up an hour and a half
and I hope she's not still in bed.
965
00:27:20,861 --> 00:27:21,101
I've been up an hour and a half
and I hope she's not still in bed.

HIS PHONE RINGS
967
00:27:22,621 --> 00:27:24,421
Good morning.
968
00:27:24,421 --> 00:27:26,461
I've just woken up.
969
00:27:26,461 --> 00:27:27,301
I've just woken up.
970
00:27:27,301 --> 00:27:28,421
You've just woken up?
971
00:27:28,421 --> 00:27:30,461
Get over here because breakfast is
in 20 minutes.
972
00:27:30,461 --> 00:27:31,061
Get over here because breakfast is
in 20 minutes.
973
00:27:31,061 --> 00:27:32,541
Do I have to look presentable?
974
00:27:32,541 --> 00:27:34,581
You do have to look presentable. Of
course you have to look presentable.
975
00:27:34,581 --> 00:27:35,141
You do have to look presentable. Of
course you have to look presentable.
976
00:27:35,141 --> 00:27:36,181
Get over here quickly.
977
00:27:36,181 --> 00:27:38,221
Wow, she sounds very asleep.
978
00:27:38,221 --> 00:27:39,381
Wow, she sounds very asleep.
979
00:27:39,381 --> 00:27:41,421
Check they're straight by looking
at...
980
00:27:41,421 --> 00:27:42,501
Check they're straight by looking
at...
981
00:27:42,501 --> 00:27:44,461
Extend your knees a bit more.
982
00:27:44,461 --> 00:27:46,501
Just be aware that the front of your
chest is resting on your knees.
983
00:27:46,501 --> 00:27:47,821
Just be aware that the front of your
chest is resting on your knees.
984
00:27:49,661 --> 00:27:51,141
Do you know what I might do?
985
00:27:51,141 --> 00:27:53,181
I might deliberately put the
napkins facing the wrong way,
986
00:27:53,181 --> 00:27:53,581
I might deliberately put the
napkins facing the wrong way,
987
00:27:53,581 --> 00:27:55,621
just so Jade can complain about it,
988
00:27:55,621 --> 00:27:55,941
just so Jade can complain about it,
989
00:27:55,941 --> 00:27:57,901
just so I can tell her
she should've been here.
990
00:27:57,901 --> 00:27:59,941
Do napkins even have a wrong way?
I'm clutching at straws.
991
00:27:59,941 --> 00:28:00,781
Do napkins even have a wrong way?
I'm clutching at straws.
992
00:28:00,781 --> 00:28:02,421
Anyway, we're getting there.
993
00:28:05,941 --> 00:28:07,981
Class dismissed, they're ready for
breakfast...
994
00:28:07,981 --> 00:28:08,701
Class dismissed, they're ready for
breakfast...
995
00:28:08,701 --> 00:28:10,381
Morning.
996
00:28:10,381 --> 00:28:12,421
..and May's daughter finally
shows up..
997
00:28:12,421 --> 00:28:12,741
..and May's daughter finally
shows up..
998
00:28:12,741 --> 00:28:14,781
Here she is...
Jade!
999
00:28:14,781 --> 00:28:15,181
Here she is...
Jade!
1000
00:28:15,181 --> 00:28:17,221
She knew breakfast was ready,
so she got lazy.
1001
00:28:17,221 --> 00:28:17,901
She knew breakfast was ready,
so she got lazy.
1002
00:28:17,901 --> 00:28:19,941
I'm here now. Right.
1003
00:28:19,941 --> 00:28:20,261
I'm here now. Right.
1004
00:28:20,261 --> 00:28:22,301
Breakfast is served, would you
all like to come and sit down?
1005
00:28:22,301 --> 00:28:24,221
Breakfast is served, would you
all like to come and sit down?
1006
00:28:24,221 --> 00:28:26,261
So, we've got a bircher muesli,
or an overnight oats.
1007
00:28:26,261 --> 00:28:28,061
So, we've got a bircher muesli,
or an overnight oats.
1008
00:28:28,061 --> 00:28:30,101
These are oats and chia seeds,
almond milk and a little
1009
00:28:30,101 --> 00:28:32,141
These are oats and chia seeds,
almond milk and a little
1010
00:28:32,141 --> 00:28:32,461
These are oats and chia seeds,
almond milk and a little
1011
00:28:32,461 --> 00:28:34,501
bit of coconut water and a little
bit of orange juice and cinnamon...
1012
00:28:34,501 --> 00:28:36,541

bit of orange juice and cinnamon...
1014
00:28:36,861 --> 00:28:38,901
..and I've got lots of different
toppings...
1015
00:28:38,901 --> 00:28:39,821
..and I've got lots of different
toppings...

1020
00:28:45,261 --> 00:28:46,861
Enjoy your breakfast, yeah?
Mm-hm.
1021
00:28:46,861 --> 00:28:48,741
Don't go hungry.
1022
00:28:48,741 --> 00:28:50,101
OK, on the right.
1023
00:28:50,101 --> 00:28:52,141
..and later, there's a trip to
a local vineyard...
1024
00:28:52,141 --> 00:28:53,181
..and later, there's a trip to
a local vineyard...
1025
00:28:53,181 --> 00:28:54,861
We're cycling for wine.
1026
00:28:54,861 --> 00:28:55,821
LAUGHTER
1027
00:28:57,061 --> 00:28:59,101
..leaving Jade and Jack time to come
up with a healthy treat for later.
1028
00:28:59,101 --> 00:29:01,021
..leaving Jade and Jack time to come
up with a healthy treat for later.
1029
00:29:01,021 --> 00:29:02,781
The thing is, I read on the
recipe...
1030
00:29:02,781 --> 00:29:04,821
Shall I get the recipe out?
1031
00:29:04,821 --> 00:29:05,861
Shall I get the recipe out?
1032
00:29:05,861 --> 00:29:07,901
Are these cookies?
Raw cookies, not baked.
1033
00:29:07,901 --> 00:29:08,261
Are these cookies?
Raw cookies, not baked.
1034
00:29:08,261 --> 00:29:10,301
Yep, nice idea.
1035
00:29:10,301 --> 00:29:11,421
Yeah, it says,
1036
00:29:11,421 --> 00:29:13,461
"..then add the fruits or cacao
nibs, or filling of choice."
1037
00:29:13,461 --> 00:29:14,701
"..then add the fruits or cacao
nibs, or filling of choice."
1038
00:29:14,701 --> 00:29:16,741
So, we can put whatever
we want in it, I think.
1039
00:29:16,741 --> 00:29:17,461
So, we can put whatever
we want in it, I think.
1040
00:29:17,461 --> 00:29:19,501
They may be going out on a limb
here...
1041
00:29:19,501 --> 00:29:20,381
They may be going out on a limb
here...
1042
00:29:20,381 --> 00:29:22,421
So, they're just little
nice chunks in it.
1043
00:29:22,421 --> 00:29:22,741
So, they're just little
nice chunks in it.
1044
00:29:22,741 --> 00:29:24,701
..so let's hope Mum
approves of the results.
1045
00:29:24,701 --> 00:29:25,821
Cherries...
1046
00:29:29,821 --> 00:29:31,021
That's done.
1047
00:29:31,021 --> 00:29:33,061
At Chateau Saint-Loup, it's the
morning of the big day.
1048
00:29:33,061 --> 00:29:34,821
At Chateau Saint-Loup, it's the
morning of the big day.
1049
00:29:34,821 --> 00:29:36,861
The band are up on the end carpets.
1050
00:29:36,861 --> 00:29:37,181
The band are up on the end carpets.
1051
00:29:37,181 --> 00:29:38,701
How many are they?
Four.
1052

In a room set aside for the bar,

In a room set aside for the bar,

Sarah are setting up the reception
for bride and groom,

Tina and Samuel.
1057
00:29:46,461 --> 00:29:48,501
So, we'll pop those on the bar.
1058
00:29:48,501 --> 00:29:48,901
So, we'll pop those on the bar.
1059
00:29:48,901 --> 00:29:50,941
The couple had hoped for an outdoor
ceremony,
1060
00:29:50,941 --> 00:29:51,501
The couple had hoped for an outdoor
ceremony,
1061
00:29:51,501 --> 00:29:53,541
but rain clouds have
scuppered that idea.
1062
00:29:53,541 --> 00:29:54,461
but rain clouds have
scuppered that idea.
1063
00:29:54,461 --> 00:29:55,821
The stress has mounted today.
1064
00:29:55,821 --> 00:29:57,861
I mean, already we had the weather,
which we were prepared for,
1065
00:29:57,861 --> 00:29:58,621
I mean, already we had the weather,
which we were prepared for,
1066
00:29:58,621 --> 00:30:00,661
but it is definitely additional
stress just to make sure that
1067
00:30:00,661 --> 00:30:01,221
but it is definitely additional
stress just to make sure that
1068
00:30:01,221 --> 00:30:03,261
everything runs smoothly, especially
going with a plan B option.
1069
00:30:03,261 --> 00:30:04,741
everything runs smoothly, especially
going with a plan B option.
1070
00:30:04,741 --> 00:30:06,781
They have just five hours,
and plan B means moving
1071
00:30:06,781 --> 00:30:08,021
They have just five hours,
and plan B means moving
1072
00:30:08,021 --> 00:30:10,061
everything for the wedding supper
into the orangery...
1073
00:30:10,061 --> 00:30:11,181
everything for the wedding supper
into the orangery...
1074
00:30:11,181 --> 00:30:12,941
Good luck, guys!
1075
00:30:12,941 --> 00:30:14,981
So then you push that in there...
1076
00:30:14,981 --> 00:30:16,261
Oh, no.
1077
00:30:16,261 --> 00:30:17,981
..and not everything's going to
plan.
1078
00:30:17,981 --> 00:30:19,541
They go the other way around.
1079
00:30:19,541 --> 00:30:21,261
Gia?
1080
00:30:21,261 --> 00:30:22,741
How did you do..?
1081
00:30:22,741 --> 00:30:24,581
Because the bottles are that side.
1082
00:30:24,581 --> 00:30:26,621
So we need to...
1083
00:30:26,621 --> 00:30:26,861
So we need to...
1084
00:30:26,861 --> 00:30:28,381
Yeah, need to turn it around.
1085
00:30:34,141 --> 00:30:36,181
Outside, Charles has spotted
an unsightly blot spoiling
1086
00:30:36,181 --> 00:30:37,981
Outside, Charles has spotted
an unsightly blot spoiling
1087
00:30:37,981 --> 00:30:40,021
the view of the chateau
and he wants the lorry moved.
1088
00:30:40,021 --> 00:30:40,701
the view of the chateau
and he wants the lorry moved.
1089
00:30:40,701 --> 00:30:42,741
If it could be down the side,
it'd be nicer.
1090
00:30:42,741 --> 00:30:43,141
If it could be down the side,
it'd be nicer.
1091
00:30:43,141 --> 00:30:45,181
OK. Thank you.
1092
00:30:45,181 --> 00:30:45,501
OK. Thank you.
1093
00:30:45,501 --> 00:30:47,541
Back inside, Charles is worried
that the delicate ring of fresh
1094
00:30:47,541 --> 00:30:48,741
Back inside, Charles is worried
that the delicate ring of fresh
1095
00:30:48,741 --> 00:30:50,781
flowers arranged to frame
the wedding ceremony
1096
00:30:50,781 --> 00:30:51,261
flowers arranged to frame
the wedding ceremony
1097
00:30:51,261 --> 00:30:53,301
is in danger of shrivelling up
from the heat of the roaring fire.
1098
00:30:53,301 --> 00:30:54,861
is in danger of shrivelling up
from the heat of the roaring fire.
1099
00:30:54,861 --> 00:30:56,901
Move two chairs and push it back.
1100
00:30:56,901 --> 00:30:57,141
Move two chairs and push it back.
1101
00:30:57,141 --> 00:30:59,181
It's bearable for the moment.
1102
00:30:59,181 --> 00:30:59,501
It's bearable for the moment.
1103
00:30:59,501 --> 00:31:01,541
So, if you go one yard that way,
you should be all right.
1104
00:31:01,541 --> 00:31:01,861
So, if you go one yard that way,
you should be all right.
1105
00:31:01,861 --> 00:31:03,901
I've convinced the florist to move
the ring provisionally,
1106
00:31:03,901 --> 00:31:05,741
I've convinced the florist to move
the ring provisionally,
1107
00:31:05,741 --> 00:31:07,781
by one yard, towards the end
of the room and now the fire can go
1108
00:31:07,781 --> 00:31:09,821
by one yard, towards the end
of the room and now the fire can go
1109
00:31:09,821 --> 00:31:11,861
and we will move it back
just for the wedding.
1110
00:31:11,861 --> 00:31:12,821
and we will move it back
just for the wedding.
1111
00:31:14,021 --> 00:31:15,981
That's OK. Yeah, great, and we'll
just put it back...
1112
00:31:15,981 --> 00:31:17,581
At the last moment, push it back.
Exactly.
1113
00:31:17,581 --> 00:31:19,181
Lovely, thank you. Thank you.
1114
00:31:19,181 --> 00:31:21,221
No sooner has Charles solved
one problem
1115
00:31:21,221 --> 00:31:21,981
No sooner has Charles solved
one problem
1116
00:31:21,981 --> 00:31:24,021
then he spots the fact that the
offending lorry has sneaked back.
1117
00:31:24,021 --> 00:31:25,061
then he spots the fact that the
offending lorry has sneaked back.
1118
00:31:25,061 --> 00:31:27,061
I have a very small request.
1119
00:31:27,061 --> 00:31:29,101
Please move that lorry
out of the orangery way.
1120
00:31:29,101 --> 00:31:30,541
Please move that lorry
out of the orangery way.
1121
00:31:30,541 --> 00:31:32,581
Either forward or backward, as you
wish,
1122
00:31:32,581 --> 00:31:32,901
Either forward or backward, as you
wish,
1123
00:31:32,901 --> 00:31:34,981
but please not in front of the gate.
1124
00:31:34,981 --> 00:31:37,021
S'il vous plait.
Merci beaucoup.
1125
00:31:37,021 --> 00:31:37,341
S'il vous plait.
Merci beaucoup.
1126
00:31:37,341 --> 00:31:39,381
I asked several times lorries to be
removed from the site
1127
00:31:39,381 --> 00:31:40,221
I asked several times lorries to be
removed from the site
1128
00:31:40,221 --> 00:31:42,261
as the bride and groom rented
a wonderful historic
1129
00:31:42,261 --> 00:31:43,061
as the bride and groom rented
a wonderful historic
1130
00:31:43,061 --> 00:31:45,101
chateau for its ambience and
so you don't need to see lorries.
1131
00:31:45,101 --> 00:31:46,421
chateau for its ambience and
so you don't need to see lorries.
1132
00:31:49,701 --> 00:31:51,781
With the final touches added,
1133
00:31:51,781 --> 00:31:53,821
it's almost time
for the ceremony to begin...
1134
00:31:53,821 --> 00:31:54,261
it's almost time
for the ceremony to begin...
1135
00:31:54,261 --> 00:31:56,301
As soon as they've done the
buttonholes, I'm going to go.
1136
00:31:56,301 --> 00:31:56,621
As soon as they've done the
buttonholes, I'm going to go.
1137
00:31:56,621 --> 00:31:58,341
..and Sarah will officiate.
1138
00:32:03,741 --> 00:32:05,781
With Charles watching
nervously from the sidelines,
1139
00:32:05,781 --> 00:32:06,461
With Charles watching
nervously from the sidelines,
1140
00:32:06,461 --> 00:32:10,421
she leads the wedding vows.
1141
00:32:10,701 --> 00:32:12,741
you have exchanged your vows in
front of your friends and family,
1142
00:32:12,741 --> 00:32:13,741
you have exchanged your vows in
front of your friends and family,
1143
00:32:13,741 --> 00:32:15,781
and so with our blessing and joy, I
declare you to be husband and wife.
1144
00:32:15,781 --> 00:32:16,981
and so with our blessing and joy, I
declare you to be husband and wife.
1145
00:32:16,981 --> 00:32:18,901
You may now kiss the bride.

APPLAUSE
1147
00:32:22,901 --> 00:32:23,861
Congratulations!
1148
00:32:31,381 --> 00:32:33,421
When it comes to the actual event,
it's been amazing.
1149
00:32:33,421 --> 00:32:34,661
When it comes to the actual event,

Kind of?
1232
00:35:06,179 --> 00:35:07,779
Put more chocolate - raw cacao.
1233
00:35:09,619 --> 00:35:11,019
OK? All right.
1234
00:35:11,019 --> 00:35:12,299
Well done! Bye.

00:35:46,139 --> 00:35:46,939
and is straight onto
quality control.
1254
00:35:46,939 --> 00:35:48,579
Why couldn't you have
shaped them nicer?
1255
00:35:48,579 --> 00:35:50,619
These look awful!
1256
00:35:50,619 --> 00:35:50,939
These look awful!
1257
00:35:50,939 --> 00:35:52,459
They don't look great.
1258
00:35:52,459 --> 00:35:54,339
It's really weird, as well...
What are they?
1259
00:35:54,339 --> 00:35:56,139
There's some that are
like, rock hard,
1260
00:35:56,139 --> 00:35:58,179
and those are like,
super-squidgy.
1261

and those are like,
super-squidgy.
1262
00:35:58,619 --> 00:36:00,339
That one's squidgy.
1263
00:36:00,339 --> 00:36:02,379
Maybe we'll just serve the ones
that are hard...
1264
00:36:02,379 --> 00:36:03,659
Maybe we'll just serve the ones
that are hard...
1265
00:36:03,659 --> 00:36:05,699
Actually, they're really good.
Are they? Mm!
1266
00:36:05,699 --> 00:36:06,019
Actually, they're really good.
Are they? Mm!

Put the rest of that chocolate.
1271
00:36:13,499 --> 00:36:15,539
Chocolate sprinkles - could this
be the magic ingredient?
1272
00:36:15,539 --> 00:36:17,259
Chocolate sprinkles - could this
be the magic ingredient?
1273
00:36:17,259 --> 00:36:18,779
That looks a bit better, doesn't it?
1274
00:36:18,779 --> 00:36:20,579
I cannot believe we're serving this.
1275
00:36:22,019 --> 00:36:24,059
Oh, well. I'm sure
they'll love it.

Oh, well. I'm sure
they'll love it.
1277

Come and try these.
1278

Those are raw cashew and banana
1281
00:36:30,459 --> 00:36:32,499

Yum. That's beautiful.

a tea party for the Mayor.

Four hours to go before everyone -
1347

Four hours to go before everyone -
1348

or no-one - arrives!
1349

Cos we still haven't had any RSVPs.
1350
00:38:31,459 --> 00:38:31,779
Cos we still haven't had any RSVPs.
1351
00:38:31,779 --> 00:38:33,819
I thought this morning, we might
have a barrage of e-mails,
1352
00:38:33,819 --> 00:38:34,979
I thought this morning, we might
have a barrage of e-mails,
1353
00:38:34,979 --> 00:38:37,019
indicating people were coming,
but we haven't.
1354
00:38:37,019 --> 00:38:37,259
indicating people were coming,
but we haven't.
1355
00:38:40,659 --> 00:38:42,699
There's additional pressure, because
they've invited the local community,
1356
00:38:42,699 --> 00:38:43,339
There's additional pressure, because
they've invited the local community,
1357
00:38:43,339 --> 00:38:45,379
including people they'd
like to work with in the future.
1358
00:38:45,379 --> 00:38:46,619
including people they'd
like to work with in the future.
1359
00:38:48,979 --> 00:38:51,019
I'm most nervous because obviously,
it's the mayor,
1360
00:38:51,019 --> 00:38:51,259
I'm most nervous because obviously,
it's the mayor,
1361
00:38:51,259 --> 00:38:52,419
and we want to impress him,
1362
00:38:52,419 --> 00:38:54,459

00:38:59,819 --> 00:39:00,219
so, catering for chefs...
1368
00:39:00,219 --> 00:39:02,259
It's a little bit nerve-racking!
1369
00:39:02,259 --> 00:39:02,739
It's a little bit nerve-racking!

and classic French madeleines.
1376
00:39:10,579 --> 00:39:12,619
I think I could double up the
teacups, so they're piled up.
1377
00:39:12,619 --> 00:39:13,299
I think I could double up the
teacups, so they're piled up.
1378
00:39:13,299 --> 00:39:15,339
But they still need to get the
renovated rooms ready to view.
1379
00:39:15,339 --> 00:39:16,179
But they still need to get the
renovated rooms ready to view.
1380
00:39:17,499 --> 00:39:18,619
Time's ticking on.
1381
00:39:18,619 --> 00:39:20,659
We need to make sure the two rooms
upstairs look presentable enough.
1382
00:39:20,659 --> 00:39:22,139
We need to make sure the two rooms
upstairs look presentable enough.
1383
00:39:22,139 --> 00:39:24,179
Erin has noticed that their
newly-restored solarium
1384
00:39:24,179 --> 00:39:25,539
Erin has noticed that their
newly-restored solarium
1385
00:39:25,539 --> 00:39:27,579
has some unsightly cracks
in the windows.
1386
00:39:27,579 --> 00:39:28,099
has some unsightly cracks
in the windows.
1387
00:39:28,099 --> 00:39:30,099
They need a quick fix.
1388
00:39:30,099 --> 00:39:32,139
The aim is to cover the
pane of glass,
1389
00:39:32,139 --> 00:39:34,059
The aim is to cover the
pane of glass,
1390
00:39:34,059 --> 00:39:36,099
we haven't had a moment
to change it.
1391
00:39:36,099 --> 00:39:36,259
we haven't had a moment
to change it.
1392
00:39:37,499 --> 00:39:39,539
Erin's found some curtains that
could be perfect for the job.
1393
00:39:39,539 --> 00:39:41,579
Erin's found some curtains that
could be perfect for the job.
1394
00:39:41,579 --> 00:39:41,899
Erin's found some curtains that
could be perfect for the job.
1395
00:39:41,899 --> 00:39:43,939
I'm so tired, I actually would just
like to have a bath and go to bed.
1396
00:39:43,939 --> 00:39:44,899
I'm so tired, I actually would just
like to have a bath and go to bed.
1397
00:39:47,179 --> 00:39:49,139
Yeah, it doesn't look too bad.
1398
00:39:49,139 --> 00:39:50,499
And I think more importantly,
1399
00:39:50,499 --> 00:39:52,539
it's hiding the fact that
I can't clean windows. Yep.
1400
00:39:52,539 --> 00:39:53,179
it's hiding the fact that
I can't clean windows. Yep.
1401
00:39:58,619 --> 00:40:00,139
Now, all the hard work
1402
00:40:00,139 --> 00:40:02,179
since they moved in only a matter
of weeks ago, is on show.
1403
00:40:02,179 --> 00:40:04,219
since they moved in only a matter
of weeks ago, is on show.
1404

since they moved in only a matter
of weeks ago, is on show.
1405
00:40:05,739 --> 00:40:07,779
The solarium is a light breakfast
room for future guests.
1406
00:40:07,779 --> 00:40:08,899
The solarium is a light breakfast
room for future guests.
1407
00:40:10,899 --> 00:40:12,939
The honeymoon suite has been
cleverly renovated
1408
00:40:12,939 --> 00:40:14,099
The honeymoon suite has been
cleverly renovated
1409
00:40:14,099 --> 00:40:16,139
and given a period feel,
with romantic touches.
1410
00:40:16,139 --> 00:40:16,779
and given a period feel,
with romantic touches.
1411
00:40:18,659 --> 00:40:20,699
And the grand ballroom, once the
scene of many a splendid party,
1412
00:40:20,699 --> 00:40:22,739
And the grand ballroom, once the
scene of many a splendid party,
1413
00:40:22,739 --> 00:40:23,219
And the grand ballroom, once the
scene of many a splendid party,
1414
00:40:23,219 --> 00:40:25,259
is again ready to welcome
and entertain guests.
1415
00:40:25,259 --> 00:40:25,979
is again ready to welcome
and entertain guests.
1416
00:40:27,459 --> 00:40:29,499
But back in the kitchen,
they're running behind.
1417
00:40:29,499 --> 00:40:29,859
But back in the kitchen,
they're running behind.
1418
00:40:29,859 --> 00:40:30,979
DOORBELL RINGS
1419
00:40:30,979 --> 00:40:32,699
Oop, that is the doorbell!
Right, OK.
1420
00:40:36,739 --> 00:40:38,779
Hello! Bonjour!
1421
00:40:38,779 --> 00:40:39,339
Hello! Bonjour!
1422
00:40:39,339 --> 00:40:41,379
It's the local chefs that they're
keen to impress.

It's the local chefs that they're
keen to impress.
1424
00:40:42,899 --> 00:40:44,939
Oh, salut!

Oh, salut!
1426
00:40:45,259 --> 00:40:47,299
Thanks so much for coming!
This is gorgeous...
1427
00:40:47,299 --> 00:40:47,619
Thanks so much for coming!
This is gorgeous...
1428
00:40:47,619 --> 00:40:49,659
Our first guests have arrived and
we totally weren't ready -
1429
00:40:49,659 --> 00:40:50,219
Our first guests have arrived and
we totally weren't ready -
1430
00:40:50,219 --> 00:40:51,539
so typical, isn't it?
1431
00:40:51,539 --> 00:40:53,579
It's the people you want to impress
for it to look good,
1432
00:40:53,579 --> 00:40:53,819
It's the people you want to impress
for it to look good,
1433
00:40:53,819 --> 00:40:55,379
and I hadn't even got my shoes on!
1434
00:40:58,699 --> 00:41:00,739
And it's not long before others
start to arrive.
1435
00:41:00,739 --> 00:41:01,579
And it's not long before others
start to arrive.
1436
00:41:01,579 --> 00:41:03,619
Bonjour, Erin. Erin, ma fiancee.
1437
00:41:03,619 --> 00:41:05,299
Bonjour, Erin. Erin, ma fiancee.
1438
00:41:24,379 --> 00:41:25,619
I'm impressed.
1439
00:41:25,619 --> 00:41:27,539
I honestly thought we'd
have five people,
1440
00:41:27,539 --> 00:41:29,579
but we have quite a lot of
people here, so...
1441
00:41:29,579 --> 00:41:29,899
but we have quite a lot of
people here, so...
1442
00:41:29,899 --> 00:41:31,939
And the mayor is here, he has
arrived with his wife.
1443
00:41:31,939 --> 00:41:33,059
And the mayor is here, he has
arrived with his wife.
1444
00:41:33,059 --> 00:41:35,099
Seeing our neighbours and people
who have a bit of a connection
1445
00:41:35,099 --> 00:41:36,699
Seeing our neighbours and people
who have a bit of a connection
1446
00:41:36,699 --> 00:41:38,739
to the chateau, who want to have a
look inside, so, it's lovely.
1447
00:41:38,739 --> 00:41:40,539
to the chateau, who want to have a
look inside, so, it's lovely.
1448
00:41:40,539 --> 00:41:42,579
With the party in full swing, it's
time for Erin's centrepiece -
1449
00:41:42,579 --> 00:41:44,619
With the party in full swing, it's
time for Erin's centrepiece -
1450
00:41:44,619 --> 00:41:44,859
With the party in full swing, it's
time for Erin's centrepiece -
1451
00:41:44,859 --> 00:41:46,619
the Victoria sponge.
1452
00:41:46,619 --> 00:41:48,659
It might not be completely perfect,
but I quite like the rustic berries.
1453
00:41:48,659 --> 00:41:50,699
It might not be completely perfect,
but I quite like the rustic berries.
1454
00:41:50,699 --> 00:41:51,899
It might not be completely perfect,
but I quite like the rustic berries.
1455
00:42:00,299 --> 00:42:01,779
Il s'appelle Victoria sponge.
1456
00:42:16,619 --> 00:42:18,659
Despite Erin's hard sell,
not everyone's biting.
1457
00:42:18,659 --> 00:42:19,619
Despite Erin's hard sell,
not everyone's biting.
1458
00:42:25,139 --> 00:42:27,179
At least it's thumbs-up from
one of the chefs.
1459
00:42:27,179 --> 00:42:27,499
At least it's thumbs-up from
one of the chefs.
1460
00:42:27,499 --> 00:42:28,459
You like it?
1461
00:42:31,619 --> 00:42:33,659
Ah, merci!
1462
00:42:33,659 --> 00:42:35,699
Merci beaucoup. Merci!
1463
00:42:35,699 --> 00:42:36,019
Merci beaucoup. Merci!
1464
00:42:36,019 --> 00:42:38,059
That was another compliment
from a French...
1465
00:42:38,059 --> 00:42:39,619
That was another compliment
from a French...
1466
00:42:39,619 --> 00:42:41,579
She used to work in this chateau
1467
00:42:41,579 --> 00:42:43,619
and her father used to be a chef
in the chateau, when it was
1468
00:42:43,619 --> 00:42:44,299
and her father used to be a chef
in the chateau, when it was
1469
00:42:44,299 --> 00:42:46,339
an Institute, so that's a very big
compliment. She enjoys my cake.
1470
00:42:46,339 --> 00:42:48,099
an Institute, so that's a very big
compliment. She enjoys my cake.
1471
00:42:48,099 --> 00:42:49,059
Good!
1472
00:42:51,499 --> 00:42:52,699
Oui!
1473
00:42:52,699 --> 00:42:54,739
News spreads that Erin's cake
is worth trying.
1474
00:42:54,739 --> 00:42:55,579
News spreads that Erin's cake
is worth trying.
1475
00:42:55,579 --> 00:42:56,699
Merci bien.
1476
00:42:59,779 --> 00:43:01,099
The cake's going down well.
1477
00:43:21,379 --> 00:43:23,419
It's time to see what the mayor
and his wife think of Erin
1478
00:43:23,419 --> 00:43:24,059
It's time to see what the mayor
and his wife think of Erin
1479
00:43:24,059 --> 00:43:26,099
and JB's renovations so far.
1480
00:43:26,099 --> 00:43:26,739
and JB's renovations so far.
1481
00:43:34,339 --> 00:43:36,379
This is the first time we've done
a real party here,
1482
00:43:36,379 --> 00:43:37,099
This is the first time we've done
a real party here,
1483
00:43:37,099 --> 00:43:38,819
so, it was a real pleasure
to show people
1484
00:43:38,819 --> 00:43:40,419
and have a genuine reaction of,
1485
00:43:40,419 --> 00:43:42,219
"Oh, wow, actually, this
looks nice."
1486
00:43:46,179 --> 00:43:48,219
People were quite pleased
to see that, again,
1487
00:43:48,219 --> 00:43:48,459
People were quite pleased
to see that, again,
1488
00:43:48,459 --> 00:43:49,899
the doors of the chateau were open,
1489
00:43:49,899 --> 00:43:51,939
we have plans, this is going
to be open...
1490
00:43:51,939 --> 00:43:52,259
we have plans, this is going
to be open...
1491
00:43:52,259 --> 00:43:54,299
I think we got the seal of approval
today, didn't we?
1492
00:43:54,299 --> 00:43:54,539
I think we got the seal of approval
today, didn't we?
1493
00:43:54,539 --> 00:43:55,259
Yeah, I think we did.
1494
00:43:57,059 --> 00:43:58,899
I think today is definitely
a high point,
1495
00:43:58,899 --> 00:44:00,819
we've had our first booking
for a wedding.
1496
00:44:00,819 --> 00:44:02,659
That's fantastic news!
1497
00:44:02,659 --> 00:44:04,139
It looks like the events business
1498
00:44:04,139 --> 00:44:06,179
really is up and running at
Chateau de Bourneau!
1499
00:44:06,179 --> 00:44:07,459
really is up and running at
Chateau de Bourneau!
1500
00:44:07,459 --> 00:44:09,499
We are now at a stage where we can
start welcoming parties.
1501
00:44:09,499 --> 00:44:10,579
We are now at a stage where we can
start welcoming parties.
1502
00:44:10,579 --> 00:44:12,259
This is what this place
was made for.
1503
00:44:15,379 --> 00:44:16,579
Next time...
1504
00:44:16,579 --> 00:44:18,059
Take the throne, your highness.
1505
00:44:18,059 --> 00:44:20,099
..I let Angel's dad, Steve,
loose on one of my toys.
1506
00:44:20,099 --> 00:44:21,499
..I let Angel's dad, Steve,
loose on one of my toys.
1507
00:44:21,499 --> 00:44:23,059
Little bit far away...
Hang on...
1508
00:44:23,059 --> 00:44:24,259
But he's not digging it.
1509
00:44:24,259 --> 00:44:26,299
I'm not very successful
at the moment!
1510
00:44:26,299 --> 00:44:26,619
I'm not very successful
at the moment!
1511
00:44:26,619 --> 00:44:28,499
A couple explore their
latest chateau.
1512
00:44:28,499 --> 00:44:30,539
Look at it, the sheer size
of the thing.
1513
00:44:30,539 --> 00:44:31,179
Look at it, the sheer size
of the thing.
1514
00:44:31,179 --> 00:44:33,259
Wow, that is beautiful, isn't it?
1515
00:44:33,259 --> 00:44:35,299
One owner gives her chateau a
long-overdue spring clean...
1516
00:44:35,299 --> 00:44:36,739
One owner gives her chateau a
long-overdue spring clean...
1517
00:44:36,739 --> 00:44:38,779
This has definitely not been
swept since the 1860s.
1518
00:44:38,779 --> 00:44:40,699
This has definitely not been
swept since the 1860s.
1519
00:44:40,699 --> 00:44:42,739
..and another pair get stuck into
their mammoth renovation project.
1520
00:44:42,739 --> 00:44:44,459
..and another pair get stuck into
their mammoth renovation project.
1521
00:44:44,459 --> 00:44:46,339
She's a bit like the Terminator -
1522
00:44:46,339 --> 00:44:48,059
put a tool in her hand,
and off she goes.
