1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,240
I'm Dick Strawbridge, and with my
wife Angel and our two children...
2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,920
..we're nearly five years into
our French adventure...
3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,240
It's heavy.
4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,640
..restoring this
once-abandoned chateau.
5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,080
We have another
capability at the chateau.
6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,080
It's brought plenty of challenges...
7
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:18,120
Phew!
8
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,560
..but also some amazing rewards.
9
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,000
I love you.
10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,320
Across France,
11
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,280
there are dozens of other Brits
who've bought their own chateaux.
12
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,960
Oh, wow!
13
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,160
Now Angel and I
14
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,240
are once again lending a hand
to other expat chateau owners.
15
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,960
Sometimes, simplicity is
the way forward. Yes, yes.
16
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,600
We'll meet some old friends...
17
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,040
We don't need instructions,
only when it goes wrong.
18
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,680
..and new faces.
19
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,720
Ooh, look at that.
20
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,000
There'll be plenty of ups...
21
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,440
Oh!
22
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,320
..and downs.
23
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,080
SHE GASPS
No, no.
24
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,240
But no matter what,
these plucky Brits...
25
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,240
Ohh.
26
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,440
..will stop at nothing...
27
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,800
No! Steve, whoa! Steven!
28
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,440
..to ensure these
once-unloved buildings...
29
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,240
I think I've made a hole.
30
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,920
..become their dream homes.
31
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,200
That is amazing.
32
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,280
Today, new chateau owners...
33
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,280
Teamwork makes the dream work.
34
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,120
THEY LAUGH
35
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,400
..make an unpleasant discovery.
36
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,400
Wow.
37
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,320
You'd love to know how many years
38
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:29,200
that took to accumulate,
wouldn't you?
39
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,880
It does smell rather bad.
40
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:35,600
I've got a recipe for enjoying
the spoils of castle life.
41
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,880
This'll go into the store cupboard.
42
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,280
Makes lovely little presents.
43
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,680
The start of the wedding season
hits heavy weather at one chateau.
44
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,960
We can't ruin the wedding meal
by eating outside in the rain.
45
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,440
And it quite clearly
will be in the rain.
46
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,360
And a chateau-buying
quest heads south...
47
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,240
This is set up, obviously, as a...
48
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,560
It's quite small, isn't
it? This is tiny.
49
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,280
..to the Pyrenees.
50
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,600
This is a fantastic room. Yeah.
51
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,120
It's the fireplace,
it's just fabulous.
52
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,000
This is the beautiful
15th-century Chateau Lagorce.
53
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,440
Boasting 22 bedrooms and 70 acres of
land, it's home to Edward and Anna,
54
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,680
who run it as a wedding venue.
55
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:30,000
We have about 32 events a year
and around 30 of them are weddings.
56
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,480
It's very, very intense work,
but we're making people happy,
57
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,560
so it's a nice business to be in.
58
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,200
Parents to four-year-old Charles,
Anna is six months pregnant with
59
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,720
their second child, so Ed's stepping
into her wedding planner shoes.
60
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,280
This season we have a
little one on the way,
61
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,720
and so Anna's going to have to
take more of a back seat.
62
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,640
Eventually, letting go bit by bit,
63
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:58,240
cos I'm not ready to let go all
the way, I can't do that.
64
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,720
Located just outside Bordeaux,
65
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,680
Anna and Ed have started preparing
for their first wedding of the year,
66
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,200
and the weather forecast
isn't looking good.
67
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,880
I've had a message from the bride.
68
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,280
Mm-hm?
69
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,640
Because of the weather, she
would like some mushroom heaters.
70
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:22,600
OK.
71
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,280
With cool temperatures predicted,
72
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,800
they've ordered heaters at
the bride Vicky's request,
73
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,680
for her and groom Gordon's big day.
74
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,800
I'd like it to be outdoors
and I'm happy to delay the wedding,
75
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,240
and delay walking down the aisle,
until the sun comes out.
76
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,320
Now it's the morning of the
wedding and the skies look ominous.
77
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,800
They're dressing the terrace
78
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,840
where the happy couple want
their wedding meal to take place.
79
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,200
It's about 16 degrees, not ideal.
80
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,920
It's just, as long as it doesn't
rain, cos that's my main worry.
81
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,520
The heaters have arrived,
which is great news.
82
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,160
At least that's a relief,
83
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,840
so fingers crossed everything else
is going to go according to plan.
84
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,800
Don't tell me you're
feeling drops. Oh, my God.
85
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,480
We've just put the tables outside.
86
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,160
With the weather
seemingly on the turn,
87
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,480
those half-dozen heaters
could come in handy.
88
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,200
I can see five boxes,
we ordered six.
89
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,000
Anna?
90
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,560
So there's only five
heaters instead of six.
91
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,920
I already knew there was only five.
92
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,640
Well, why didn't you say something?
93
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,160
Because I didn't want you panicking.
94
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,240
I'm here, now.
95
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,560
Don't worry.
96
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,160
You get on, I'll deal with this.
97
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,520
Ugh, I can't get anything past Anna.
98
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,840
She's too quick.
99
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:57,480
While Ed makes a start on
assembling the heaters...
100
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,080
These are looking good,
actually, I'm really impressed.
101
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,560
..Anna's been worried about the
flowers for the wedding bouquets
102
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,960
so is hoping that leaving
them in a fridge overnight
103
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,520
has kept them fresh.
104
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,080
And this is good news, the pink
ones have opened just right.
105
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,000
So I think some things are
going according to plan.
106
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,080
Anna might have spoken too soon.
107
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,560
A dark cloud's descended
on the chateau.
108
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,800
And the rain is getting heavier.
109
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,480
I'm gonna have to go and deliver the
news to the bride that it is raining
110
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,200
and we have one less heater.
111
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,520
And if that wasn't bad enough...
112
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,040
I was making this heat lamp and
I've seen that. The bulb is broken.
113
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,040
Out of the five, I
have two smashed bulbs.
114
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,560
We're down from six to
three heaters.
115
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,800
And it's absolutely
chucking it down right now.
116
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,440
Basically, things aren't
going too well, today.
117
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,840
He's not wrong, even a full
complement of outdoor heaters
118
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:03,160
might not be enough to save the day.
119
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,520
The satellite forecast's showing
there's worse weather on the way.
120
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,800
Anna? Oui?
121
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,480
We have a little problem.
122
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,800
I'm not happy to have it outside.
123
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,400
Can you see that massive
wave of rain? That's going to hit.
124
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,360
So we need to tell the bride and
groom that they cannot eat outside.
125
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,280
Point bar. Look at it.
126
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:27,200
There's no way we can do it.
127
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,560
We can't ruin the wedding
meal by eating outside in the rain,
128
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,800
and it quite clearly
will be in the rain.
129
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,000
I mean,
130
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,440
it's not even a short period,
this is from 10:00 till 3:00.
131
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,760
And look at that massive
wave coming behind.
132
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,000
It's not this, it's worse than this.
133
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,320
I'll speak to the groom, see if
there's somebody close to the bride
134
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,640
that wants to talk to her about it.
135
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,040
And then you go and talk to
her about it as well.
136
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,040
Do you know where he
is? What room's he in?
137
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,560
He's downstairs. OK.
138
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,000
With the fear of
an approaching downpour,
139
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,280
the alfresco wedding is in jeopardy.
140
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:10,280
News no-one wishes to deliver
to a bride on her big day.
141
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,680
While Anna and Ed have an
established chateau,
142
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,080
interior designer Adam is at the
very start of his chateau journey.
143
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:25,560
He's looking to buy and set up a
business in the French countryside.
144
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,040
My main objective for the chateau
145
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,400
is to have a really
comfortable home space,
146
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,040
a building that I love and fall
in love with passionately.
147
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,440
Adam is hoping his £800,000
budget will find him a chateau
148
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,920
with scope for a B&B, where
he can offer yoga retreats
149
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,040
and interior design courses.
150
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,320
I'm going to just give it a go.
151
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,240
Live the French dream.
152
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,480
He's travelled to France
with good friend Lisa.
153
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,800
I'm quite a tricky, picky person.
154
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,160
At the first property
near us in Mayenne...
155
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,200
Wow, this is absolutely
unbelievable.
156
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,760
..Adam's self-confessed
pickiness started to show.
157
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,440
I'm not convinced yet
it's gonna be big enough.
158
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,160
And at another in Normandy...
159
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,440
It's a tiny, tiny kitchen,
I don't like it at all.
160
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,320
Oh, Lord. Yeah. Ugh.
161
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,800
..friend Lisa was getting
frustrated.
162
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,640
I'm gonna drive you mental over it.
That's already happened.
163
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,320
Better steel yourself, Lisa,
164
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,720
Adam has lined up two
more chateau viewings,
165
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,640
close to the ski
resorts of the Pyrenees.
166
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:38,280
Chateau Serre Barbier in Saint-Beat
is near Le Mourtis, a resort
167
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,640
that's particularly popular with
young families and novice skiers.
168
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,600
It's beautiful.
169
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,320
Hi, there, Andy.
170
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,240
Showing them around is
estate agent Andy.
171
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,320
Good to see you again. Nice to
see you, nice to see you.
172
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:57,080
Built in the 19th century,
the chateau is run as a guesthouse.
173
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,720
Including self-catering
apartments and a separate gite,
174
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,480
there's a total of 16 bedrooms.
175
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,840
It also has a pool.
176
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:12,680
But it's above budget at £865,000
so would need some hard negotiating.
177
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:14,440
OK.
178
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,520
Here we are.
179
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,440
Oh, my goodness, it's amazing.
180
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,480
I love this floor
and all of this panelling.
181
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,080
Is this a bar, here?
182
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,800
Yep, there's a little bar here.
Oh, my goodness, that's amazing.
183
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,320
Sounds promising.
Now for the reception areas.
184
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,760
So, welcome to the dining room.
185
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,240
This is a good-size room.
186
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,440
Wood burner,
everything nice and warm.
187
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,400
I don't know, maybe it's just
the decor, I'm not...
188
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,000
Look at... I thought
you would love that.
189
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,240
There's some nice features,
the fireplace is nice,
the floor is good.
190
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,080
I don't know, I think it's
cos it's... I don't know,
191
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,000
I wouldn't, perhaps,
have it as this kind.
192
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,400
I think it's the furniture
that I don't like.
193
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,760
I mean, obviously, it is
the style, it is the colour.
194
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,120
Is that...? Would you say
that's original, this? Yeah.
195
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,400
Everything, I think, is
original. That's beautiful.
196
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,320
If you look back
through that window,
197
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,280
you'll see the mountain range
at the back, as well.
198
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,680
It is a beautiful view, but that
doesn't change the room, does it?
199
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:10,240
No, I'm being...I'm
trying to be nice.
200
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,600
How can you try and be nice
when it's a stunning room?
201
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,200
No, it's... It's the furniture
that you wouldn't have.
202
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,040
No, it's the decor that I
can't cope with. That's simple.
203
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,000
Yeah, that's the bit I...
I like the candlestick.
204
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,360
I just don't like this.
I can't believe it.
205
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,720
No, I'm being deadly serious.
206
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,000
A purchase would be about
business potential too,
207
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,040
and this chateau comes with
a professional kitchen.
208
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,880
This is set up, obviously, as a...
209
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,720
It's quite small, isn't it?
This is tiny.
210
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,920
But it's a proper
commercial kitchen,
211
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,280
so you've got everything in here
that you need to run the B&B.
212
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,520
It looks very compact.
213
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,840
It is, but it works really well.
214
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,680
It has a one-way system,
as so many kitchens do,
215
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:51,680
so everything goes out this way,
everything comes in the other way.
216
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:54,320
Yeah, yeah. So it's very
well organised. Yeah, yeah.
217
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,920
This is a nice cupboard.
218
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,240
That's the bit I
like about the kitchen.
219
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,560
That's my focal point.
220
00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:01,160
That's beautiful, that cabinet is.
221
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,920
That'll get everyone fed, won't it?
Yeah, that'll get everyone fed.
222
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,960
I don't like... If I'm honest,
I don't like the kitchen at all.
223
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,640
Adam had set his heart on
a French country kitchen.
224
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,000
But if he's going to
run a business,
225
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,960
he needs to think how
he's going to do that.
226
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,320
Upstairs, there are four
self-catering apartments
227
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,640
ready to welcome paying guests.
228
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:29,320
So, welcome to the first... Oh, wow,
this is interesting. ..apartment.
229
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,840
This is completely different,
isn't it? Completely different.
230
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,760
Yeah, yeah. You're telling me you
don't like these? Seriously?
231
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,760
Yeah. Oh, God, I dare ask.
Which is...
232
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,920
I just love it. I mean, look at all
this. I just wasn't expecting this.
233
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,280
Look at these. You just don't
expect this, no, not at all.
234
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,720
A mixture of modern with the...
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
235
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,040
No, this... Yeah, it feels like
you're in an apartment,
236
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,680
which you obviously are,
aren't you? Yeah.
237
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:53,040
It's kind of just
thrown me completely.
238
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,240
It also appears that even though
she's not the buyer here,
239
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,960
Lisa's thrown, too.
240
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,280
I just think it's so lovely.
241
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,080
It's just unexpected, though,
do you not think? It is unexpected.
242
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,720
And this kind of funky style
works really, really well.
243
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,120
The chateau may have brought
tears to friend Lisa's eyes,
244
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,320
but it's buyer Adam who
needs to be won over.
245
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,120
It's got amazing grounds, there's
funky elements to it, which I love,
246
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,160
the rooms are really light and airy,
all of that really appeals to me.
247
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,880
It's an exceptional property.
248
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,280
It's very much a statement home,
but it has to sing to me,
249
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,680
and at this point, I've just
got a hum, not a big song.
250
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:38,200
I just want to carry on looking
and seeing what else is here.
251
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,440
Coming up.
252
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,360
As the rain washes in,
Anna is feeling under the weather.
253
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,680
She really wants it outside.
254
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:51,360
Everything is going
from bad to worse
255
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,760
and I don't think I
can make it happen.
256
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,240
Adam may have met his match.
257
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:03,040
It's understated charm, but then it
has this amazing presence about it.
258
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,760
And two new chateau owners
turn creative in the kitchen.
259
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,080
We've got a normal cake piping bag.
260
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,120
It's a mortar-dispensing unit.
261
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,640
SHE LAUGHS
262
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,440
This is the beautiful 17th-century
Chateau de Sauge.
263
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,480
With four acres of land,
11 outbuildings and 45 rooms,
264
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:36,120
this little beauty
has just been bought for £279,000
265
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,640
by Donna from Hartlepool
and Scotsman Paul.
266
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,480
I love the peace and quiet of being
here, just being able to sit
267
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,120
and listen to birds
tweeting in the trees.
268
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,800
Located 50 miles
east of La Rochelle,
269
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,440
Paul and Donna moved
into the neglected chateau
270
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,000
just six weeks ago,
271
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,800
giving up their jobs to make
the move, full-time, to France.
272
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,440
Now, with the help
of Donna's parents,
273
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,040
they're embarking on renovating
the place from top to bottom.
274
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,600
So, this shower
didn't have any front on it,
275
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,960
so we came up with a net hook
and a bit of tablecloth.
276
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,120
Could be worse.
277
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,720
There's a massive DIY to-do list...
278
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:22,920
Any of us can see what's needed
doing and can pick up a job.
279
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,560
..to get the place ready -
280
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,440
not only as a home, but also for B&B
and events -
281
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,840
to start generating much-needed
income as soon as possible.
282
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,600
I think anyone that takes
on a project like this
283
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,040
needs to be optimistic.
284
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,240
It needs work.
285
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,760
Yeah, this is pretty bad.
286
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,440
Now, they're tackling
their first major job,
287
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,080
transforming the old scullery
into a functioning kitchen.
288
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,720
This is going to be
the working kitchen.
289
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,120
It will do the breakfast
and everything out of here,
290
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,880
so this has to be done first.
291
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,920
This has to be fully operational
292
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,480
for everything else
to start to move on.
293
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,000
Today, they're soundproofing
the ceiling,
294
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
cutting and measuring insulation
295
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,960
to stop noise travelling
to the planned guest room above.
296
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,600
Last bit? Yay!
297
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,680
Looks good.
298
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,560
Does that mean we can have
a cup of coffee now?
299
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,240
Yeah, some din-dins.
300
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,760
Before we start the next bit.
301
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,960
As well as soundproofing,
302
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,400
they're determined to painstakingly
restore the interior old stone walls
303
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,240
to their former glory.
304
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,600
You can see how clay-ey it is.
It's just...
305
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,240
Some of it
just literally falls apart.
306
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,680
Teamwork makes the dream work!
307
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,200
DONNA LAUGHS
308
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,880
Doing everything by hand isn't easy.
309
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,320
My hands are sore.
310
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,120
They have been for the last five
weeks, and we've only been here six.
311
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,080
Everything's sore.
DONNA LAUGHS
312
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,520
Yeah, I've found muscles
that I didn't know existed.
313
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,040
Um, I've got no nails left
any more.
314
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:16,160
Certainly, the manicures
and pedicures are gone forever.
315
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,880
I've stopped them as well!
316
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,000
Me too!
317
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,720
There's no time for expensive
luxuries if you're on a budget.
318
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,280
When you're putting
all your energies into this
319
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,640
and there's no other
income coming in,
320
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,280
there's always that time factor
that you're thinking of.
321
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,080
How quickly can we get to a point
322
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,640
where we can actually
get some revenue coming in?
323
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,360
To speed up the repointing process,
324
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,840
Donna's sure she's cooked up
a genius idea.
325
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:50,760
We've got a normal cake-piping bag.
326
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,080
It's a mortar dispensing unit.
327
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,040
Hopefully,
next time we have the piping bag,
328
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,520
we'll be making cakes
in this kitchen.
DONNA LAUGHS
329
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,520
Not with that one, I hope!
330
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,880
All I'm trying to do
is kind of make sure
331
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,280
it's pushed right into
the actual crevices in the stone.
332
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,000
That's looking good. Done.
333
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,080
Finished.
334
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,440
They've made a good start but,
as Angel and I know only too well...
335
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,560
DONNA SIGHS
336
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,400
..renovating a chateau
is an endurance test.
337
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,160
At our place, 125 miles north,
338
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,080
enjoying the good things in life
339
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,600
means growing your own
fruit and veg.
340
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,560
Eat a tomato.
341
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,480
One! One, one.
342
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,520
One.
343
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:35,640
Oops.
344
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,000
Pick them up -
we don't want to lose them.
345
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,520
Getting a bumper crop,
such as our pumpkin harvest,
346
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,240
means we can enjoy the spoils
for months to come,
347
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,240
if we look after
the fruits of our labour correctly.
348
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,520
Ooh, me pumpkin store!
349
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,080
Right.
350
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,720
Every time you come in,
just check your pumpkins.
351
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,560
We'll take the soft ones first.
352
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:57,960
Potimarron.
353
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,000
Two of those.
354
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,320
That's quite a lot.
355
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,240
I've got one of my favourite
preserves in mind
356
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,960
for these little beauties -
pumpkin chutney.
357
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,560
Chutneys are your fruits
and your vegetables
358
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,920
and your balance
of sugar and vinegar.
359
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,640
And you can experiment away
to your heart's content.
360
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,440
Now, I'm going to be baking
the diced pumpkin under,
361
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,760
so it's not completely cooked,
362
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,600
and then adding it in to the chutney
at the end,
363
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,480
because it can go mushy.
364
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,640
So, I'm going to be putting in
some sultanas.
365
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,560
I'll have apple and onion in here
as well.
366
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,360
All part of my base.
367
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,080
With my pumpkin diced,
that's step one complete.
368
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,240
20 minutes in the oven.
369
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,240
VOICE-OVER: Now to put together
my other ingredients,
370
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,000
starting with sliced onions.
371
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,360
Then add plenty of vinegar
and sugar,
372
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:01,240
as these preserve
the finished chutney.
373
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,720
Very important you measure things
exactly.
374
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,200
In with the chopped apples.
375
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,200
So, these are sweet apples.
376
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,640
And onto the stove it goes.
377
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,320
Sugar, vinegar, onion, apples.
378
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,640
Seedless golden sultanas.
379
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,880
Then all I need
is my roasted pumpkin.
380
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,760
Softening, but not too soft.
381
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,040
This is candied ginger, which means
there's a bit of sugar in this.
382
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,280
So, this has all softened now.
383
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,080
I'm going to add the pumpkin
into here and cook it
384
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,800
for a very short period of time,
385
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,200
because I don't want to break
this up too much.
386
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,960
I'm simmering it for ten minutes,
to pull all the flavours together.
387
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,240
Oh!
388
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,600
Hot, hot, hot!
389
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,080
Good, works for me.
390
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,320
Right, let's go and get
my sterilised jars.
391
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,360
Here we go.
392
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:06,200
Putting the chutney in very hot
393
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,360
stops harmful bugs getting
into the jars.
394
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:11,880
This is a couple of hours' work.
395
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,200
This will go
into the store cupboard.
396
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,520
Makes lovely little presents.
397
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,040
In a couple of weeks,
the flavour will have developed,
398
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,400
and, left unopened in a cool,
dark place,
399
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,720
the jars should keep
for at least a year.
400
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:25,880
Delicious!
401
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:33,720
About 370 miles south of our place,
interior designer Adam is continuing
402
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,800
his search for the perfect chateau,
with the help of friend Lisa.
403
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,000
It's beautiful.
404
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,600
Next stop is the village
of Chaum in the Pyrenees,
405
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,480
where they're having a second
viewing of Maison de Maitre,
406
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,400
a 12-bedroom chateau with
outbuildings and 23 acres of land.
407
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,280
The drive up is beautiful. Mm-hm.
408
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,000
And it's a sunny day
and we're in the mountains,
409
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,400
in the foothills.
410
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:01,600
It's beautiful.
411
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,360
And what are the hills alive with?
412
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:06,480
Music, Lisa,
the hills are alive with music.
413
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,400
Adam's already taken a peek
at this chateau on his own,
414
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,560
so estate agent Andy is hoping a
proper tour will let it really sing.
415
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,040
Second time round,
416
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,120
you're seeing things that you don't
see the first time. Yeah.
417
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:21,520
And all the marble
in the window frames,
418
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,240
I hadn't noticed that before,
either.
419
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,320
The property is an old post house
and, as well as the main house,
420
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,840
also includes a four-bedroomed
holiday home.
421
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,240
It's on the market
for just over £430,000,
422
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,960
leaving Adam a healthy budget
for renovations.
423
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,360
This is the big barn.
424
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:48,440
This kind of space, I was thinking
function space, design school,
425
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,720
yoga space.
426
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,000
It is singing to me, a little bit.
427
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,960
The barn's still striking a chord.
428
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,640
Now for the interiors.
429
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,920
OK.
430
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:01,320
Welcome to le chateau.
431
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,000
You probably remember this area.
432
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,920
I love the stone. Yeah.
433
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,640
And the colours.
434
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,360
Let's walk through this way. OK.
435
00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:13,400
It's got a beautiful smell.
436
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,760
This is a fantastic room. Yeah.
437
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,240
The fireplace is just fabulous.
438
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,840
This is amazing, it's beautiful.
439
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,680
It's understated charm,
440
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,600
but then it has this amazing
presence about it.
441
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,320
It has an amazing presence.
442
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,920
A great party room.
Sure, absolutely.
443
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,120
I can see people dancing here
on the tiled floor,
444
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:34,800
and I think there's a piano up there
at the moment.
445
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,840
Adam may be imagining
the house-warming party already,
446
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,320
but there's more to explore
447
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,280
before he'll know if this chateau
is cause for celebration.
448
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,320
130 miles north, at Chateau Lagorce,
449
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,680
the weather's taking a
turn for the worse
450
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,200
at Anna and Ed's first wedding
of the season.
451
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,600
Oh, my God.
452
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,560
Six months pregnant,
453
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,840
a reluctant Anna's gone to talk
to the bridesmaids.
454
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,520
We have the function room,
that's not the problem. OK.
455
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,080
We have the space, it's just that
she really wanted it outside. Yeah.
456
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,400
I think she wants to wait,
if she can.
457
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,680
How long?
458
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,040
I don't mind waiting, it's just that
there's still a risk at five.
459
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,440
She wants to get married outside.
460
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,920
She really wants it outside.
461
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,160
Would you go and have a quick chat
with her before I come?
462
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,080
If we set it outside, we haven't
got time to move it back in.
463
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,080
OK.
464
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,640
Come rain or shine,
465
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,400
it seems the wedding
might be going ahead outside.
466
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,800
Everything is going
from bad to worse and...
467
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,360
..I feel bad.
468
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:45,760
I really want everything to
be like the bride wants it to be
469
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,440
and I don't think
I can make it happen.
470
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,160
I'm going to have to go
and talk to the bride,
471
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,360
because I don't have
another solution.
472
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:58,760
Here's hoping Anna and the bride
come to an arrangement.
473
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,440
I know that you don't come to France
to sit in a reception room,
474
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,040
but what can you do?
475
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,600
If the weather says no,
the weather says no, you know?
476
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,080
Every minute counts now.
477
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:13,480
Moving the wedding inside
is no small feat.
478
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,800
Already delayed, it could
push things back even further.
479
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,880
These minutes seem like hours.
480
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,400
Poor Anna. She's up there,
probably negotiating.
481
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,200
Anna, what's going on?
482
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,520
She said yes, but it's cleared now.
483
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:30,840
I'm not taking the risk.
484
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,160
I'm really happy that
it's not raining now,
485
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,120
because we can do the ceremony
486
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:37,560
and we can have the canapes outside.
487
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,720
There is no way
there's going to be no rain.
488
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,800
Although the ceremony
and reception drinks can be outside,
489
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,720
the bride's given the go-ahead for
the wedding meal to move indoors.
490
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,480
So, it's all hands on deck
to get the function room ready...
491
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:59,920
..whilst the groomsmen dry off the
seating for the outdoor ceremony.
492
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:02,320
Have we done all these bits?
There we go.
493
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:09,240
With a small break in the clouds,
there's a window of opportunity.
494
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,120
Guys?
495
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:12,960
I think...
496
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,000
I think it's going to be...
497
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,560
It's going to be now or never.
498
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,080
Right.
499
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,360
Finally,
the ceremony can get under way.
500
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,440
But how long will this dry spell
last?
501
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,280
Coming up -
502
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,400
new chateau owners
Donna and Paul are smoked out.
503
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,160
By the time we'd come to bed,
this was absolutely full of smoke.
504
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,960
We've literally just moved rooms
until we can get this sorted.
505
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,960
It's a rush between rain showers...
506
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:52,680
So, I've probably got about
15 minutes to do two of these.
507
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,000
All fun and joy!
508
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,960
..as Anna and Ed determine
to deliver a dream wedding.
509
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,360
The drinks area
has been moved twice,
510
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:04,080
and hopefully the bride can have
partially what she wants, so...
511
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,360
And Adam's chateau search...
512
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:08,160
It's amazing up here!
513
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,640
..leads to lofty ideas.
514
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,920
This would make
a fantastic master bedroom.
515
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,640
Near La Rochelle in western France,
516
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,160
Donna and Paul are in the middle
of essential work,
517
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,840
transforming the old scullery
into a kitchen
518
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,160
where they can cater
for B&B and events.
519
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,000
But they've been forced
to down tools
520
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,440
by a smoking issue in their bedroom.
521
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,840
It's still smoky from last night.
522
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,080
Yeah, you can still smell it.
523
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,480
It's really bad,
524
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,840
so I think it's possibly coming
through the rest of the floor.
525
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,360
Smoke from the fire
in the salon below
526
00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:50,000
has been seeping into their bedroom
above.
527
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,560
By the time we'd come to bed,
this was absolutely full of smoke.
528
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:58,320
We've literally just moved rooms
until we can get this sorted.
529
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,640
I think the initial fix
530
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,240
was just to try and stop the smoke
coming through the floor,
531
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,760
which is why we've tried to tape
some of the joints.
532
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,200
It's just found another path,
hasn't it?
533
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,760
The integrity of the chimney
is an issue, so it needs to be fixed
534
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,520
as soon as possible,
and that could be expensive.
535
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,760
We've decided to just call
a professional out and have a look.
536
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,440
They want to know exactly
what's going on,
537
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,240
so have called in a specialist,
Paul, who lives locally.
538
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,040
How are you? Grand. Lovely.
539
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,080
Righty. Come on in.
540
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,440
We had a fire last night. Yeah.
541
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:37,800
In fact, that ember is still on.
542
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,560
You can see the underside of the...
543
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,840
I presume that's
the upstairs fireplace.
544
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,120
So far,
nothing obvious in the salon.
545
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:49,040
Can we have a look upstairs, then?
Yeah.
546
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,360
Oh, yeah.
It is quite black, isn't it?
547
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:52,320
It's strong, isn't it?
548
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,680
Yeah.
549
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,080
Right, is it possible to take
this off to have a look inside?
550
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,320
Yeah, we can do. Yeah?
551
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:58,320
Is that all right?
552
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,760
Interested to see what's behind it.
553
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,240
Ah.
554
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,040
Wow.
555
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,320
Do you think there's been
something nesting in there?
556
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,480
Wow, indeed.
557
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,440
It's thousands of dead bees.
558
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,000
An unexpected sting in the tail,
559
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,280
but they aren't the cause
of the escaping smoke.
560
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:30,720
It's the cracked and broken render
at the back of the fireplace.
561
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,120
Yeah, you can see, I think
there's holes at the back, there,
562
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:37,480
where obviously smoke is coming
through from downstairs.
563
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,120
I'd certainly recommend
cleaning this out
564
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,520
before you burnt anything down there
again.
565
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,880
At least they won't be stung
with a huge bill,
566
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,520
as this fix
is one they can do themselves.
567
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,880
It's quite shocking, isn't it?
568
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,520
You'd love to know how many years
that's took to accumulate,
569
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:01,680
wouldn't you?
570
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,360
It does smell rather bad.
571
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,320
Do you think we'll get them in?
572
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:13,640
Dear me.
573
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:21,280
I think the quantity of what
we found was quite startling.
574
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,000
I didn't quite expect it
to be that bad.
575
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,440
Now that the fireplace
has been cleaned out,
576
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,920
Paul can get on
with sealing the holes
577
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,720
where the smoke
has been seeping through.
578
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,360
I'm sure we'll find this sort of
thing in every fireplace we open up.
579
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,880
It would have been nice
if we'd found some buried treasure
580
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,200
behind one, for a change.
581
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,520
That would be quite nice.
582
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,000
With nine more fireplaces
that still need sorting out,
583
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,840
fingers crossed there'll BEE
treasure in one of them.
584
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,240
120 miles south, near Bordeaux,
a break in the bad weather
585
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,880
means Anna and Ed's first wedding
of the season
586
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,120
can finally get under way.
587
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,120
Half an hour later than planned,
bride Vicky can at last
588
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,520
make her grand entrance
for the open-air ceremony.
589
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:21,360
We have been invited here today
to share with Victoria and Gordon
590
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,640
a very important moment
in their lives.
591
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,120
For Anna, there's no sign of relief.
592
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,240
I can see blue sky.
593
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,560
Hopefully it's going to hold
for a little bit
594
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,920
until the ceremony's done.
595
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,400
I don't know what to say.
596
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,880
I'm pretty, pretty stressed.
597
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,560
They've got 90 minutes
to move all the tables
598
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,600
into the function room and get it
set up for the wedding meal.
599
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,120
Two important things
in France and Bordeaux.
600
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,760
The first one is love.
601
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,320
The ceremony is in full swing,
and the clock is ticking.
602
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,080
Ed's back assembling outdoor heaters
603
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,560
in time for post-ceremony
drinks and canapes.
604
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:09,480
So, I've probably got
about 15 minutes to do two of these.
605
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:10,520
All fun and joy!
606
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,840
There's no let-up for Anna prepping
the drinks area, either.
607
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,240
The drinks area
has been moved twice,
608
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,160
but now we're setting it all up
here, and hopefully
609
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:26,600
the sun will come out and will stay
just for the drinks a little bit,
610
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,000
so the bride can have partially
what she wants.
611
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,760
Setting up the function room
from scratch for the wedding
612
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,040
means they've really
got their work cut out.
613
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,840
I got the room clean,
we got the tables in.
614
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,640
I think the chairs are getting there
615
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,280
and then it's going to be
all hands on deck
616
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,960
getting the place settings ready,
617
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,000
because Anna will want it
how she wants it, so...
618
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,520
Halfway through the ceremony...
619
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,040
They have decided to live together
as husband and wife.
620
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,400
..and the weather's holding out,
621
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:03,080
leaving them wondering if they
were right to move the meal inside.
622
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,320
You can only go by what
the radar's showing you
623
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,000
and it showed a massive storm cloud,
624
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,720
but it's still showing
a lot of rain still to come.
625
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,080
I mean, you pay so much money for
a wedding. You can't take the risk.
626
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,960
It's too late to change tack now.
627
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,400
And there's still plenty to do
628
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,720
if they're to deliver the dream
chateau wedding reception inside.
629
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,840
135 miles south-east
in the village of Chaum,
630
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,520
designer Adam's second viewing
of a chateau
631
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,200
looks to be bringing
his French dream a step closer.
632
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,640
So, here we are in the marble room
again.
633
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,440
I love this room.
634
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,440
I like the floor.
I like all the little plinths.
635
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,720
The marble I find fascinating.
636
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,080
It's all from the different regions.
637
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,520
Yep, that's right.
638
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,040
All the villages in the area
traditionally
639
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,760
have got different colour
marbles and stone.
640
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,520
The local marble is also found
in the Palace of Versailles.
641
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,920
Decor fit for a king,
642
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,200
but what about the catering
side of things?
643
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,480
OK,
so let's have a look through here.
644
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,760
This is an area, here.
645
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,560
So, this would make a great kitchen.
646
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,280
And there's water in here already.
Yeah. Oh, brilliant.
647
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,120
So, that's no problem.
648
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,960
Yeah, this would make
a really good use of this space.
649
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,640
It's good that Adam
is considering practicalities.
650
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,560
Time to take a look upstairs.
651
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,920
On to the landing.
652
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,400
There's rooms either side.
They're all doubles. Yeah.
653
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,880
They've all got beautiful beds
in them.
654
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,160
Again, one either side here.
655
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,840
And then through into the attic.
656
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,240
It's amazing up here.
It's absolutely fantastic.
657
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,560
This would make
a fantastic master bedroom.
658
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,880
En-suite through there. Yeah.
659
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,240
Or dressing room through there,
perhaps.
660
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,000
Would make an amazing bathroom.
Yeah.
661
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,520
And also maybe even put
that copper bath.
ANDY CHUCKLES
662
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:01,680
But can you imagine that,
663
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,960
with a great big shower head
over the top? Yeah.
664
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,840
I love it, I love it. I do love it.
665
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,120
But you hate it? No, I love it.
666
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,840
So, would you put an offer in?
667
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,280
I'm tempted to really think
about that.
668
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,720
It does have an amazing wow factor
to it, it really does.
669
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,160
Thanks, Andy. You're very welcome.
670
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,200
It's a beautiful property.
There's a lot to think about.
671
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,080
So, you've even got some ideas.
Yeah.
672
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,440
I'm going to give you a call.
673
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,080
Adam's not made his mind up
about this place,
674
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,960
but hopefully he's getting closer
to understanding what he wants.
675
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,360
Probably the next time you see me,
676
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,720
I'll have a beret on,
with a stripy top and some onions
677
00:34:39,720 --> 00:34:42,200
and I'll be riding a bicycle
through the streets,
678
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,600
kind of saying hello to all
the bakers and candlestick makers,
679
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,480
all that kind of stuff.
680
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,200
And a baguette under one arm,
probably.
681
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,280
Coming up...
682
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,720
No half measures if DIYers
Donna and Paul
683
00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:01,560
are to complete their new kitchen.
684
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,880
We cannot afford to make
any mistakes.
685
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,000
It's got to be right first time.
686
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,080
And Anna and Ed are hoping the dash
for cover won't spoil the wedding.
687
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,960
Whether the bride's going to like it
or not, I don't know.
688
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,760
Obviously, she was passionate
about being outside,
689
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,200
but I'm happy.
690
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,200
Let's hope they are!
691
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:29,960
Near La Rochelle in western
France, Paul and Donna are preparing
692
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,800
dinner for visiting family
at their newly purchased chateau.
693
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,680
Right, what have we got? Rogan
josh.
694
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,000
Be nice... Bit of Rogan Josh, then,
eh?
695
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,360
With work unfinished on their new
catering kitchen, feeding
696
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:52,440
extra mouths from the chateau's old
run-down one is a bit of a struggle.
697
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,960
We've got two rings
that are working.
698
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,920
We've got a makeshift kind of
bench here.
699
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,880
Everything is kind of on top of each
other, there's no real work space.
700
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:08,360
On the upside, they've come on leaps
and bounds with the new kitchen.
701
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:13,040
As well as insulating the ceiling
and repointing the stone walls,
702
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,920
they're in the middle of installing
the new kitchen cupboards.
703
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,520
Today, they're fitting the worktops.
704
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,080
I'm usually in charge
of the instructions and...
705
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,360
Otherwise, normally,
Paul won't look at them.
706
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,040
Sadly, instructions aren't included
for getting a worktop to sit
707
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,360
flush against that old stone wall.
708
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,160
It's hitting this
piece of stone here.
709
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,040
It's just pushing out a few mill,
which is enough to not make
710
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,160
the worktop kind of true right the
way along the front.
711
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,640
We like a challenge, otherwise we'd
have never took on buying a castle.
712
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,520
I might pull it in a bit more
713
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,800
if I put another fixing
straight through here.
714
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,720
All it takes is determination
and a really strong fixing.
715
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:01,000
DRILLING
716
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,760
That's pulled in. Yeah? Saw it move.
717
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,520
That's spot-on.
Yeah, it's level there now. Yes!
718
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:14,400
Now they have to cut out the worktop
to house a double sink.
719
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,120
We cannot afford to make any
mistakes,
720
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,640
it's got to be right first time.
721
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,600
Any error will be costly
as the worktops weren't cheap.
722
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:28,360
And as it could take weeks to get
a new one, there could be delays.
723
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,600
So this was what, about 300 Euros?
724
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:33,600
I can't remember, now.
725
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,800
Well, you'll remember
if I get it wrong.
726
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,080
Draw where the sink is going to go.
I have.
727
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,720
Which is which bit? Here.
728
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:45,280
Is that 815? No.
729
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,200
Is that right?
It's still quite big.
730
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,240
Remember, "measure twice, cut once".
731
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:57,920
Sure? No.
732
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,360
Now for the moment of truth.
733
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,960
I'll just lift the back in.
734
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,040
That's it.
735
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,880
So we're calling that in, yeah?
SHE LAUGHS
736
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,080
That's an install. That is superb.
737
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,560
Beautiful.
738
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,480
Paul and Donna have spent
a lot of time watching DIY videos
739
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,760
and it seems to be paying off.
740
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,080
Excellent.
741
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:41,560
We're saving thousands by doing it
ourselves. It's money well saved.
742
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,520
Couldn't agree more, Donna?
743
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,000
Excellent! OK, well done.
744
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:55,120
Paul and Donna have stripped back
walls, built a ceiling,
745
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:59,960
installed lighting, fitted new units
and put in plumbing.
746
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,800
After three months of hard work,
747
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,520
all that remains are a few
final touches.
748
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,280
You've got a fingerprint
on that one now.
749
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,560
You need to have some white gloves.
SHE CHUCKLES
750
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:16,800
There we go.
751
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,600
CAT MEOWS
752
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:23,000
They've turned a neglected
old scullery...
753
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,560
..into an all-singing, all-dancing,
working kitchen.
754
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,800
It's beautiful, I love it,
absolutely love it.
755
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,520
I do feel very...
756
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,360
I don't know, it's a warm,
fuzzy feeling.
757
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,280
SHE LAUGHS
758
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,840
They should be happy.
759
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,560
Getting this kitchen done
professionally could easily
760
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,400
have cost tens of thousands
of pounds.
761
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,720
By doing all the work themselves,
762
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:55,200
they've kept the price down
to 4,500.
763
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:59,160
I think it's great. I think we've
got the balance between old and new
764
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,520
and it's the first room that we've
done as opposed to rooms
765
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:04,560
that we've inherited.
766
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,200
I'm very excited to start baking.
767
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,800
I don't want to renovate,
I want to cook!
768
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,680
I hear you, Donna, but there's lots
more renovation to be done.
769
00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:23,080
Further south, 13 miles from the
centre of Bordeaux, Anna and Ed's
770
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,240
first wedding of the season
is not going to plan.
771
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,040
They're rushing to get the tables
set as the wedding breakfast
772
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,600
has had to be moved inside.
773
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,520
Sauvignon, jaune.
774
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,600
As the guests file over for
post-ceremony drinks...
775
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,080
Hi, guys,
please come over for a drink.
776
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,480
..after arranging tables and chairs,
checking the seating plan,
777
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,960
and laying the place settings,
they're almost done.
778
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,200
It just needs a few final touches...
779
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,360
Non, non, non. There.
780
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,040
..to Anna's exacting standards.
781
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,720
Voila.
782
00:41:03,720 --> 00:41:05,600
I think it's looking really nice.
783
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,000
The tables are looking, classy.
784
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,520
Whether the bride's gonna like it
or not, I don't know.
785
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,600
Obviously, she was passionate about
being outside.
786
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,920
But I'm happy, let's hope they are.
787
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:27,360
Slightly later than planned, the
reception meal can finally begin.
788
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,960
Let's hope the newlyweds are happy.
789
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,880
CHEERING
790
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,520
WHOOPING
791
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,120
As the wedding feast gets
well under way,
792
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:45,040
the decision to move indoors
proves to be a wise one.
793
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,520
I was definitely right to
have it inside.
794
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,880
It's coming down more
and more all the time.
795
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,240
It would have been frozen out
on that top terrace.
796
00:41:53,240 --> 00:41:56,360
To sit down and eat in the cold
is no fun for anybody.
797
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,400
One person who's been
feeling the heat...
798
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,800
These are sugar-coated, that's all.
799
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,800
..is pregnant wife Anna?
800
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,800
I don't think they would use nuts.
801
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,880
It's the unknown that I think
upset Anna today.
802
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,240
My role probably is going to
be a bit more.
803
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:15,800
This summer, just taking off
that extra stress from Anna,
804
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,440
and then now, I've got to try
and get her to sit down
805
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,400
a little bit, instead of on her
feet.
806
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,080
Practice for the next two,
three months.
807
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,160
Anna? Eat. Yeah, I'm gonna go.
808
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,320
Have some bread and some cheese.
I'm going to have my dinner here.
809
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,760
OK. It's time for a sit down and
have some dinner.
810
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,720
I've sat down. OK? Yes.
811
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,480
It may not have gone as originally
planned,
812
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,360
but the happy couple have had
a memorable day.
813
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,800
It's turned out to be
an amazing day.
814
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,680
It was a bit stressful with
the weather,
815
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,320
but you can't control that,
at the end of the day.
816
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,680
Obviously, you'd want to be outside
by the lake,
817
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,040
and in the beautiful surroundings,
on the grass,
818
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,440
but the inside of the venue is
just as stunning as the outside.
819
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,480
But the best thing is Anna
and Ed, probably.
820
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,800
Just cos they make it amazing
for you, they do everything for you.
821
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:20,040
ANNA: The bride and groom look happy
now. Everyone is merrier now.
822
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:24,400
It was a hard day. Yeah. You got a
little bit upset, that's normal.
823
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:25,640
Yeah, well. Cos you're pregnant.
824
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,600
Ladies and gentlemen,
the first dance!
825
00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:40,520
It's not been the easiest start to
the season.
826
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,120
Even though it's been a tough
wedding for us, to see
827
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,480
that they're happy,
that's the main thing.
828
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,760
That's why you do the job, really.
Edward did so much more.
829
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,400
It's the first wedding so of course
830
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,800
you're going to want to run round
and do everything.
831
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,240
I think it's only going to
get better. Mm.
832
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,840
Fingers crossed
the rest of the year goes smoother.
833
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,400
Next time...
834
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,440
As Paul and Donna race to give her
parents a home from home...
835
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:15,840
They are really looking forward to
it being their little home.
836
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,120
And I think it's going to be
a really nice, warm,
837
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,640
cosy space for them.
838
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,760
..Mum and Dad are finding
chateau life a struggle.
839
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:29,320
Everything was so cold know and we
thought, "Gosh, what have we done?"
840
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,080
It's touch and go when we catch up
with one couple...
841
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,040
That one's falling out, quickly.
There, that one.
842
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,320
Oh!
843
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,320
..on their new round of projects.
844
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,400
Every time you put your hand in,
Steve... Whoa! Steven.
845
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,440
The annual toad migration
kicks off at our place.
846
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,800
Oh, look at them all around your
feet.
847
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,880
They're all over the place.
Whoa.
848
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,080
And a chateau-owning family battle
to stop their ancestral home
849
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,400
from cracking up.
850
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,960
Another big crack coming, which
is even more worrying.
851
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,240
You can put your fingers
in the crack.
852
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,640
