1
00:00:04,534 --> 00:00:07,359
In the heart of the French
countryside,
2
00:00:07,384 --> 00:00:11,229
a magnificent chateau
stood uncared for and abandoned.
3
00:00:14,143 --> 00:00:17,359
Then, six years ago,
everything changed...
4
00:00:17,384 --> 00:00:18,439
Look at that!
5
00:00:18,464 --> 00:00:20,719
...when an intrepid British couple...
6
00:00:20,744 --> 00:00:23,669
Turn. Turn, turn, turn.
7
00:00:23,694 --> 00:00:24,919
Wow.
8
00:00:24,944 --> 00:00:27,279
...unlocked it front door...
9
00:00:27,304 --> 00:00:29,589
Everything is gorgeous!
10
00:00:29,614 --> 00:00:31,919
...fell in love
with its grandeur,
11
00:00:31,944 --> 00:00:33,719
and embarked on an adventure.
12
00:00:35,023 --> 00:00:38,159
It's so incredibly important to
bring it back to life.
13
00:00:40,184 --> 00:00:42,669
Since they moved in,
engineer Dick Strawbridge...
14
00:00:44,514 --> 00:00:47,748
...and his wife, designer Angel...
15
00:00:47,773 --> 00:00:51,279
...have transformed almost
all 45 rooms,
16
00:00:51,304 --> 00:00:53,639
including four sumptuous guest
suites
17
00:00:53,664 --> 00:00:55,958
for their wedding and events
business.
18
00:00:57,624 --> 00:01:02,489
But despite their hard work, their
dream often resembled a nightmare.
19
00:01:02,514 --> 00:01:06,878
You should not be able to see
the sky out of your roof.
20
00:01:06,903 --> 00:01:09,849
Behind every romantic story
is the reality.
21
00:01:12,983 --> 00:01:16,799
This year, life at the chateau
has been rather different.
22
00:01:16,824 --> 00:01:18,679
I'm on Heron Island!
23
00:01:20,054 --> 00:01:22,519
With no
weddings and events to house...
24
00:01:22,544 --> 00:01:24,929
I think we need a roof garden up
here.
25
00:01:24,954 --> 00:01:29,389
O-level mathematics from 1975.
26
00:01:29,414 --> 00:01:32,519
...they can tackle even bigger
projects than ever.
27
00:01:32,544 --> 00:01:36,039
This, I'm thinking, is a big
swimming pool.
28
00:01:36,064 --> 00:01:37,849
I've got a headache.
29
00:01:37,874 --> 00:01:40,679
And there are lots of surprises
in store...
30
00:01:40,704 --> 00:01:42,998
THEY SCREAM
31
00:01:43,023 --> 00:01:44,720
Come on, let's have a little look.
Will it open?
32
00:01:44,744 --> 00:01:47,679
...as the chateau reveals more
secrets.
33
00:01:47,704 --> 00:01:49,439
I love it. It's so me.
34
00:01:49,464 --> 00:01:52,469
It's time to find out what happens
next
35
00:01:52,494 --> 00:01:55,929
in this 21st-century French
fairy tale.
36
00:01:55,954 --> 00:01:58,369
I think this is a good reason to buy
a horse.
37
00:01:58,394 --> 00:01:59,758
ANGEL LAUGHS
38
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:14,369
Come on, let's go!
Let's go and see Daddy.
39
00:02:14,394 --> 00:02:18,958
This year at the chateau, endlessly
long, hot summer days have provided
40
00:02:18,983 --> 00:02:23,519
a cornucopia of fresh fruit
and vegetables in the walled garden.
41
00:02:26,113 --> 00:02:28,489
Oh, look at that! That is
absolutely so juicy.
42
00:02:28,514 --> 00:02:30,208
They're not bad, are they?
43
00:02:32,674 --> 00:02:34,569
That was a slightly soft one.
44
00:02:35,704 --> 00:02:40,569
I just had the sweetest one
and then got relaxed
45
00:02:40,594 --> 00:02:44,088
and had the tangiest one that is
still making my...
46
00:02:44,113 --> 00:02:46,039
...back of my throat clench up.
47
00:02:47,834 --> 00:02:50,519
Once feeding
the chateau's previous owners,
48
00:02:50,544 --> 00:02:53,399
the Baglioni family, now the
Strawbridges
49
00:02:53,424 --> 00:02:55,289
reap the garden's rewards.
50
00:02:57,954 --> 00:03:00,479
I'm going to cut a little
bit of this rainbow chard for dinner
51
00:03:00,504 --> 00:03:03,289
tonight. SINGSONG: Rainbow chard!
Mwah, mwah, mwah.
52
00:03:03,314 --> 00:03:06,208
These leeks are nearly
ready as well. They look amazing.
53
00:03:07,954 --> 00:03:10,958
See, those are massive, look?
They smell, I can't tell you,
54
00:03:10,983 --> 00:03:15,369
absolutely amazing. It's all tomato
plants, isn't it? It's just amazing.
55
00:03:15,394 --> 00:03:17,809
Dorothy, I need you to get up.
See all the little grapes?
56
00:03:17,834 --> 00:03:20,119
See all these?
All these things around here?
57
00:03:20,144 --> 00:03:22,399
Those are Muscat grapes.
58
00:03:23,704 --> 00:03:26,449
You planted them with me.
A grape.
59
00:03:31,674 --> 00:03:33,958
OK.
60
00:03:33,983 --> 00:03:38,369
Well, in that case, this is all
your work, nothing to do with Daddy.
61
00:03:38,394 --> 00:03:41,758
Yeah. Nothing to do with Daddy
planting outside so it grows.
62
00:03:41,783 --> 00:03:45,399
Dorothy, can you reach and snip that
one off? Go on. Away you go.
63
00:03:46,834 --> 00:03:49,529
Snip it. Oh, yeah!
Get it in there. Well done.
64
00:03:49,554 --> 00:03:53,319
Will Daddy go for that one
of there? Look, I'm up and in.
65
00:03:53,344 --> 00:03:54,968
OK?
66
00:03:54,993 --> 00:03:58,968
Arthur, I'm passing them.
Pass them along. They look lovely.
67
00:03:58,993 --> 00:04:01,758
While Dick helps with
the harvest for the 2020
68
00:04:01,783 --> 00:04:03,809
Chateau de la Motte Dorothee...
69
00:04:03,834 --> 00:04:05,579
Oh, they are golden!
70
00:04:05,604 --> 00:04:08,968
...Angel grabs a little
extra for later.
71
00:04:08,993 --> 00:04:13,369
There you go, baby. Thank you.
Been my absolute fantastic helper.
72
00:04:13,394 --> 00:04:16,729
That, with a bit of salt,
olive oil and maybe
73
00:04:16,754 --> 00:04:20,579
a bit of our home grown basil
and a baguette is supper tonight.
74
00:04:22,634 --> 00:04:24,529
Wow. Come on, dog!
75
00:04:24,554 --> 00:04:27,008
If we got a nice seat in there,
that could be a sauna.
76
00:04:27,033 --> 00:04:29,609
A sauna.
77
00:04:38,113 --> 00:04:41,218
Summer is normally
the chateau's busiest
78
00:04:41,243 --> 00:04:44,409
time of the year,
buzzing with weddings and events.
79
00:04:45,604 --> 00:04:51,299
A 150-year-old chateau demands
upkeep on a grand scale.
80
00:04:51,324 --> 00:04:55,199
So, this year, without their usual
guests, Dick and Angel have
81
00:04:55,224 --> 00:04:58,579
had time to draw up a super-sized
to-do list.
82
00:04:58,604 --> 00:05:01,729
But, to realise it, Dick needs a
bigger workshop,
83
00:05:01,754 --> 00:05:05,409
and he's decided to transform this
abandoned outbuilding
84
00:05:05,434 --> 00:05:09,018
back into a productive 34 square
metre workshop.
85
00:05:09,043 --> 00:05:10,129
Right...
86
00:05:10,154 --> 00:05:11,559
Oh, it's big.
87
00:05:11,584 --> 00:05:14,888
It's a good size workshop, yeah?
88
00:05:14,913 --> 00:05:18,329
But think of Mademoiselle Daisy...
Mm-hm?
89
00:05:18,354 --> 00:05:21,129
...because that's probably the
biggest thing I want to work on.
90
00:05:21,154 --> 00:05:25,579
We could put her nose there, she
comes all the way back to here, yeah?
91
00:05:25,604 --> 00:05:27,968
And I have to be able to
work in the winter inside.
92
00:05:27,993 --> 00:05:30,329
What areas are you going to use?
All of it.
93
00:05:30,354 --> 00:05:32,689
Because if you're going to drive
cars in,
94
00:05:32,714 --> 00:05:35,049
are you going to have a big middle
island
95
00:05:35,074 --> 00:05:36,659
so you can put things on, or...?
96
00:05:36,684 --> 00:05:40,018
No, genuinely... We don't have
islands. We don't have islands. OK.
97
00:05:40,043 --> 00:05:42,018
What I'm going to do,
that wall will have stuff,
98
00:05:42,043 --> 00:05:43,659
benches along it,
little bit of space.
99
00:05:43,684 --> 00:05:46,018
But it has to be enough space to
get down the side of it.
100
00:05:46,043 --> 00:05:49,409
On this side, this is wide enough to
have something here. Yeah.
101
00:05:49,434 --> 00:05:51,049
A lathe or something like that.
102
00:05:51,074 --> 00:05:53,049
But I have to really
get my head around that,
103
00:05:53,074 --> 00:05:56,179
because I don't intend to spend much
money on the infrastructure.
104
00:05:56,204 --> 00:05:57,888
It'lljust be pallets and bits and
pieces
105
00:05:57,913 --> 00:05:59,689
and dead things we've got around the
place.
106
00:05:59,714 --> 00:06:05,739
And what I would like to do is make
sure that upstairs is emptied. OK.
107
00:06:05,764 --> 00:06:08,739
You haven't really had a look
up there, have you? No, I haven't.
108
00:06:11,484 --> 00:06:14,848
This is all perfectly safe. OK.
Is it? Yes. It does not look it.
109
00:06:16,634 --> 00:06:17,968
This is quite exciting.
110
00:06:21,154 --> 00:06:24,768
Five years ago, it was the attic
on the top floor of the chateau
111
00:06:24,793 --> 00:06:31,379
that gave up its secrets to Angel.
One, two, three... Wow!
112
00:06:31,404 --> 00:06:33,209
Now, this looks like wallpaper.
113
00:06:35,964 --> 00:06:37,848
But here in the outbuilding,
114
00:06:37,873 --> 00:06:40,939
are there still more
surprises to be shared?
115
00:06:40,964 --> 00:06:42,489
Wow.
116
00:06:51,284 --> 00:06:54,459
It's obviously where
they just dumped all the rubbish.
117
00:06:54,484 --> 00:06:57,659
Dick may just see
piles of junk abandoned
118
00:06:57,684 --> 00:07:03,259
by the Baglionis, but to Angel,
it's a room of undiscovered riches.
119
00:07:03,284 --> 00:07:07,179
These are your thoroughfares
for walking on. Stick to these.
120
00:07:07,204 --> 00:07:11,098
All right. OK? I'm going
to put my brave gloves on.
121
00:07:11,123 --> 00:07:13,569
And once it's safe to start
rummaging...
122
00:07:13,594 --> 00:07:16,409
What's this? Oh, that's lovely.
123
00:07:16,434 --> 00:07:19,179
That's very nice.
No idea what that is.
124
00:07:19,204 --> 00:07:22,379
...Dick soon discovers that
one man's junk is
125
00:07:22,404 --> 00:07:24,619
another man's wife's treasure.
126
00:07:30,644 --> 00:07:32,929
I just love things
that you can open.
127
00:07:34,314 --> 00:07:37,539
SHE GASPS
That's the day before my birthday.
128
00:07:44,123 --> 00:07:47,028
That's got to be in the house.
129
00:07:47,053 --> 00:07:49,898
I'm sorry, but I knew this was going
to be full of treasures.
130
00:07:52,204 --> 00:07:54,459
Oh, my goodness me.
This is quite lovely.
131
00:07:56,803 --> 00:07:58,389
SHE GASPS
132
00:07:58,414 --> 00:08:01,139
Oh, it is quite
exciting, actually. Look at that.
133
00:08:02,444 --> 00:08:04,778
This is absolutely beautiful.
Honestly.
134
00:08:04,803 --> 00:08:07,209
This is treasure, this is treasure
to me. You know that.
135
00:08:07,234 --> 00:08:08,699
SHE GASPS
136
00:08:08,724 --> 00:08:10,699
Oh, my goodness.
137
00:08:10,724 --> 00:08:11,819
SHE GASPS
138
00:08:11,844 --> 00:08:13,389
That's amazing.
139
00:08:13,414 --> 00:08:16,028
You love that, don't you? I love it.
It's so me.
140
00:08:19,954 --> 00:08:21,259
Another box. I love boxes.
141
00:08:22,444 --> 00:08:25,459
And it seems there's no
end to the surprises.
142
00:08:25,484 --> 00:08:28,028
Oh, it's a little bunch of goodies.
Hold on.
143
00:08:29,923 --> 00:08:31,569
This is quite sweet. Look.
144
00:08:31,594 --> 00:08:32,749
"Brigitte de Baglione."
145
00:08:35,164 --> 00:08:37,749
And the vintage treasures
keep coming.
146
00:08:37,774 --> 00:08:40,289
And the back. Wow.
147
00:08:40,314 --> 00:08:41,978
It's not in bad condition, you know?
148
00:08:44,244 --> 00:08:45,778
This looks like...
149
00:08:45,803 --> 00:08:49,419
...an old Victorian
airer, doesn't it? It does.
150
00:08:49,444 --> 00:08:53,829
That would make sense, because
this being the laundry over here.
151
00:08:53,854 --> 00:08:57,699
What do you think? That is
very lovely.
152
00:08:57,724 --> 00:09:00,028
HE LAUGHS
153
00:09:00,053 --> 00:09:03,499
And probably Dorothy's size. Getting
so big, isn't she?
154
00:09:03,524 --> 00:09:07,108
It probably is Dorothy's size,
actually. Mm. I think it's gorgeous.
155
00:09:09,084 --> 00:09:12,908
While Angel considers the future
of her haul of goodies...
156
00:09:12,933 --> 00:09:15,858
Good, I'm happy. It is
quite special, isn't it?
157
00:09:15,883 --> 00:09:19,028
Oh, I think it's a
beautiful shape.
158
00:09:19,053 --> 00:09:23,419
...Dick's mind is on his system
to dispose of the detritus.
159
00:09:23,444 --> 00:09:26,109
Right, OK. What I'm going to do is
I'm going to go to that hole... OK.
160
00:09:26,133 --> 00:09:27,669
I'm going to go to that hole,
I'm going
161
00:09:27,694 --> 00:09:29,269
to drop you down these two ends. OK.
162
00:09:29,294 --> 00:09:32,669
And then I'm going to lift it up,
OK?
163
00:09:32,694 --> 00:09:35,108
Luckily there are some rather
convenient
164
00:09:35,133 --> 00:09:37,629
holes in the ceiling to
speed things up.
165
00:09:37,654 --> 00:09:40,219
Right, Mrs? Yeah!
What I'd like you to do...
166
00:09:40,244 --> 00:09:41,269
Do-do-do-do-do-do...
167
00:09:44,003 --> 00:09:45,059
OK?
168
00:09:49,494 --> 00:09:51,699
OK, how's that? OK!
169
00:09:54,294 --> 00:09:57,299
Right, do you want to just chuck
something down? Course I can.
170
00:09:57,324 --> 00:09:58,419
Stay clear.
171
00:09:59,933 --> 00:10:04,469
There we go. Bingo!
172
00:10:04,494 --> 00:10:06,108
That's not rubbish!
173
00:10:24,979 --> 00:10:27,905
It's been a long, hot summer
at the chateau,
174
00:10:27,930 --> 00:10:32,905
and Dick and Angel have decided it's
time for a family trip to the beach.
175
00:10:34,140 --> 00:10:37,515
But this year, it's much closer
to home than expected.
176
00:10:37,540 --> 00:10:40,065
Oh, Petale knows where we're going.
Lead on, Petale.
177
00:10:42,190 --> 00:10:44,874
In fact, just a few metres away.
178
00:10:46,620 --> 00:10:50,265
It's lovely down there, by the way.
You can go right into the corner.
179
00:10:50,290 --> 00:10:51,754
It's lovely. Honestly.
180
00:10:53,140 --> 00:10:57,954
The water in the 2,000 square metre
moat that surrounds their home
181
00:10:57,979 --> 00:11:00,624
is now so low
that it's revealing
182
00:11:00,649 --> 00:11:03,555
some previously hidden
bits of chateau history.
183
00:11:04,979 --> 00:11:06,985
We've never, ever seen it like this.
184
00:11:07,010 --> 00:11:11,365
Do you know why that's
all cobbled like that, Arthur?
185
00:11:11,390 --> 00:11:12,954
So they could back a cart in here
186
00:11:12,979 --> 00:11:15,345
when they were
filling things up with water.
187
00:11:15,370 --> 00:11:19,787
That's what we were told.
Is that right, Mammy? Yeah, it is.
188
00:11:19,812 --> 00:11:24,516
Further along the moat,
another little beach has emerged.
189
00:11:24,541 --> 00:11:28,346
Petale, the family's nine-month-old
Kerry Blue, leads the way.
190
00:11:28,371 --> 00:11:30,987
Remember we played conkers
last year?
191
00:11:31,012 --> 00:11:33,317
I won the world championship,
that's right,
192
00:11:33,342 --> 00:11:35,037
because I'm 61 and you're not.
193
00:11:41,491 --> 00:11:43,396
Down we go. This is a life beach.
194
00:11:43,421 --> 00:11:46,266
Do you know what, it's really,
really interesting here. Yeah?
195
00:11:46,291 --> 00:11:50,237
Have a look at this ground.
I know. It feels...
196
00:11:50,262 --> 00:11:54,627
It feels like this isn't
just where the water's low.
197
00:11:54,652 --> 00:11:57,037
It feels like this was something.
But hold on.
198
00:11:57,062 --> 00:12:01,476
This is the same gravel that was
outside the front of the chateau
199
00:12:01,501 --> 00:12:02,867
when we arrived.
200
00:12:02,892 --> 00:12:05,396
It looks like it's a little alcove.
Yeah.
201
00:12:05,421 --> 00:12:07,707
You'll probably find a little punt.
202
00:12:07,732 --> 00:12:10,037
The picture we saw,
was it an Edwardian picture,
203
00:12:10,062 --> 00:12:12,396
with the two people on a punt? Yeah.
204
00:12:12,421 --> 00:12:15,707
The place they would have
probably put it is here.
205
00:12:15,732 --> 00:12:18,507
The chateau was completed in 1874
206
00:12:18,532 --> 00:12:22,266
as a place for
wining, dining and boating.
207
00:12:22,291 --> 00:12:26,677
Dick and Angel have always wondered
where the launch spot was.
208
00:12:26,702 --> 00:12:29,757
And it looks as though
they may have found it.
209
00:12:29,782 --> 00:12:31,266
I love that idea.
210
00:12:31,291 --> 00:12:35,867
But cobblestones and gravel beaches
aren't the only surprise.
211
00:12:38,421 --> 00:12:41,226
Are these clams?
Yeah, freshwater clams.
212
00:12:42,532 --> 00:12:44,957
They look really, really old.
213
00:12:44,982 --> 00:12:46,787
Oh, thanks, babes.
214
00:12:49,222 --> 00:12:52,396
This is where the heron hangs out.
On that rock.
215
00:12:55,092 --> 00:12:57,837
With new beaches and rocks exposed,
216
00:12:57,862 --> 00:13:02,476
Dick decides it's the perfect
opportunity to claim new territory.
217
00:13:02,501 --> 00:13:05,037
At least
until the autumn rains arrive.
218
00:13:06,342 --> 00:13:07,957
Uh-oh.
219
00:13:10,222 --> 00:13:11,757
I'm on this island.
220
00:13:11,782 --> 00:13:15,317
No, I'm not going to. What?
221
00:13:17,251 --> 00:13:19,587
Daddy is going to Heron Island.
222
00:13:20,862 --> 00:13:22,037
Oh, quick, before we go!
223
00:13:23,222 --> 00:13:25,476
That looks a bit slippy
now it's wet.
224
00:13:27,291 --> 00:13:31,627
No, look, right. Daddy's going
to Heron Island. Are you ready?
225
00:13:31,652 --> 00:13:34,197
OK.
226
00:13:34,222 --> 00:13:37,476
Ready? How do you
think I'm going to get there?
227
00:13:37,501 --> 00:13:41,067
Put your leg over. No! LAUGHTER
228
00:13:42,612 --> 00:13:45,117
I'm on Heron Island! Oh, you!
229
00:13:46,942 --> 00:13:50,507
I claim this island
for the Strawbridge family.
230
00:13:50,532 --> 00:13:54,396
And henceforth it shall be known
as Heron Island.
231
00:13:55,452 --> 00:13:57,476
Right, smile, Mr Strawbridge!
232
00:13:57,501 --> 00:14:01,146
That is a statue in the making
there, Mr Strawbridge.
233
00:14:01,171 --> 00:14:02,171
Swampy DaddY-
234
00:14:07,532 --> 00:14:12,067
A few clays later, and Heron Island
all but a distant memory,
235
00:14:12,092 --> 00:14:14,947
everything that was
upstairs in the old outbuilding,
236
00:14:14,972 --> 00:14:18,226
soon to be Dick's new
workshop, is down.
237
00:14:18,251 --> 00:14:21,757
I think over there is
definitely our keep pile.
238
00:14:22,862 --> 00:14:28,037
And it's time to sort the wheat from
the chaff before Dick skips the lot.
239
00:14:28,062 --> 00:14:30,346
This has been such a big job.
240
00:14:30,371 --> 00:14:33,837
I mean, getting it all down has been
like a job in itself, and...
241
00:14:34,942 --> 00:14:39,307
Sasha's been helping out, and it's
been really, really, really fun.
242
00:14:39,332 --> 00:14:42,396
Because, you know,
we all love this place.
243
00:14:42,421 --> 00:14:45,427
Angel's determined to rescue
everything she considers
244
00:14:45,452 --> 00:14:51,826
historical, sentimental,
beautiful or just simply quirky.
245
00:14:51,851 --> 00:14:54,185
That is amazing.
246
00:14:54,210 --> 00:14:55,956
I have no idea,
247
00:14:55,981 --> 00:15:00,906
but I just love the fact that it's
got a bit of beauty to it still.
248
00:15:00,931 --> 00:15:07,355
Oh, look at this. Hello. Oh,
goodness. I've no idea what it is.
249
00:15:09,691 --> 00:15:12,185
I think it's
something to do with a games table.
250
00:15:12,210 --> 00:15:13,666
I think it's gorgeous.
251
00:15:15,981 --> 00:15:20,746
In the 19th century, billiard tables
were the height of fashion.
252
00:15:20,771 --> 00:15:25,105
One with elaborately decorated
iron ball catchers like this
253
00:15:25,130 --> 00:15:27,906
would be worth about £20,000 today.
254
00:15:27,931 --> 00:15:30,746
If that was on a billiard table
or something, well,
255
00:15:30,771 --> 00:15:32,435
that's quite posh, isn't it?
256
00:15:32,460 --> 00:15:34,386
By anyone's standard.
257
00:15:34,411 --> 00:15:39,355
Unfortunately, the chateau's version
now appears to be in kit form.
258
00:15:39,380 --> 00:15:43,746
These remind me of sort of,
you know, the roll-top bath feet.
259
00:15:43,771 --> 00:15:45,716
But an antique games table
260
00:15:45,741 --> 00:15:48,985
isn't the only thing
that makes Angel's heart sing.
261
00:15:49,010 --> 00:15:52,026
Look at that.
That is just beautiful.
262
00:15:53,851 --> 00:15:55,876
And, towards the end of the day,
263
00:15:55,901 --> 00:15:59,076
Angel unearths something
utterly unique.
264
00:15:59,101 --> 00:16:02,156
We have found loads of lovely
things in here, you know.
265
00:16:02,181 --> 00:16:04,746
Little insights into how they lived.
266
00:16:04,771 --> 00:16:08,076
But this, this is
something that is priceless.
267
00:16:08,101 --> 00:16:09,876
It's absolutely priceless.
268
00:16:09,901 --> 00:16:12,596
Dun dun-dun! And it is...
269
00:16:13,701 --> 00:16:15,105
It's their running costs.
270
00:16:15,130 --> 00:16:18,386
What they ate, what they spent their
money on. This is how they lived!
271
00:16:18,411 --> 00:16:21,985
The Baglionis clearly kept
close tabs on expenses
272
00:16:22,010 --> 00:16:23,956
during their reign at the chateau.
273
00:16:23,981 --> 00:16:25,796
I mean, look at this. This is crazy.
274
00:16:25,821 --> 00:16:27,746
I mean, every bit of money
that they spent.
275
00:16:27,771 --> 00:16:30,315
Biscuits fromage,
cheese biscuits. Grenadine.
276
00:16:30,340 --> 00:16:32,396
Champagne, something here.
277
00:16:32,421 --> 00:16:37,985
Oh, it's so exciting,
because it goes on for years.
278
00:16:38,010 --> 00:16:39,906
What's exciting is that
279
00:16:39,931 --> 00:16:43,156
there's still outbuildings
we haven't delved into.
280
00:16:44,771 --> 00:16:48,235
I know I've said it before, but
actually, I don't want this to end.
281
00:16:48,260 --> 00:16:50,956
I don't want to stop, you know,
the excitement.
282
00:16:50,981 --> 00:16:53,036
I'm still going to find something.
283
00:16:53,061 --> 00:16:58,036
And this has been better than
I could have ever, ever expected.
284
00:17:07,061 --> 00:17:10,315
Work on Dick's new workshop
is about to begin.
285
00:17:14,651 --> 00:17:16,115
Once builder mate Steve
286
00:17:16,140 --> 00:17:20,716
has removed the surprisingly
tenacious 150-year-old steps.
287
00:17:20,741 --> 00:17:23,156
CREAKING
288
00:17:40,901 --> 00:17:42,346
Across the courtyard,
289
00:17:42,371 --> 00:17:46,756
Angel has been delving
deep into the chateau's past.
290
00:17:46,781 --> 00:17:49,676
And she's summoned Dick
to share her discoveries.
291
00:17:51,751 --> 00:17:55,315
It's a piece of history
that was in the basket
292
00:17:55,340 --> 00:17:56,985
that I think you're going to love.
293
00:17:59,340 --> 00:18:02,396
This is the accounts book for
the house? Yeah, look. For ham.
294
00:18:03,781 --> 00:18:06,906
That's a big number. Or beef. Beef!
295
00:18:06,931 --> 00:18:10,115
That's two. That's for two boeufs.
God, that's really expensive.
296
00:18:10,140 --> 00:18:13,185
That two cows, that's two steer.
Oh, OK, that's different.
297
00:18:13,210 --> 00:18:14,626
That's a lot of meat.
298
00:18:17,210 --> 00:18:20,266
Every single one of these pages
tells a story.
299
00:18:21,371 --> 00:18:24,706
Finding the chateau's
accounts book is one thing.
300
00:18:24,731 --> 00:18:30,756
Discovering a personal letter hidden
within its pages quite another.
301
00:18:30,781 --> 00:18:35,195
There's a letter that
was at the front of this. 1870.
302
00:18:35,220 --> 00:18:39,906
This is the memoirs of
Amil de Baglion de la Dufferie.
303
00:18:39,931 --> 00:18:42,235
OK.
304
00:18:42,260 --> 00:18:45,906
As soon as she found the letter,
Angel had it translated,
305
00:18:45,931 --> 00:18:49,756
and what it's revealed about
the aristocratic Baglioni family
306
00:18:49,781 --> 00:18:52,156
is quite extraordinary.
307
00:18:52,181 --> 00:18:54,836
It's really hard to read
comments like your writing.
308
00:18:54,861 --> 00:18:57,626
So it says,
I'll put it in a nutshell.
309
00:18:57,651 --> 00:19:00,426
This is how they've become
the Baglionis,
310
00:19:00,451 --> 00:19:02,756
and it's absolutely fascinating.
311
00:19:02,781 --> 00:19:04,706
This is the stuff that you love,
I know it is.
312
00:19:04,731 --> 00:19:09,065
Baglioni. The family...
We knew they were from Perugia.
313
00:19:09,090 --> 00:19:11,396
Came to take refuge in the...
314
00:19:11,421 --> 00:19:15,836
Which is where we are here. That's
it, yeah. 600 years ago. Yeah.
315
00:19:15,861 --> 00:19:18,266
Which is when they landed here.
316
00:19:18,291 --> 00:19:20,676
When the Duke of Anjou
lost the kingdom of Naples,
317
00:19:20,701 --> 00:19:27,115
Michel Baglion, knight,
lord of the Dufferie...
318
00:19:27,140 --> 00:19:30,426
Yeah... came back with him
and received...
319
00:19:30,451 --> 00:19:33,396
They gave him Mayenne.
They just gave him Mayenne.
320
00:19:33,421 --> 00:19:35,315
You know, as you do.
321
00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:39,706
But the 15th century Italian knight
Michel de Baglion's loyalty
322
00:19:39,731 --> 00:19:43,065
wasn't just rewarded
with some land in France.
323
00:19:43,090 --> 00:19:46,626
The family also received
a new coat of arms
324
00:19:46,651 --> 00:19:50,476
and a surprisingly
appropriate motto.
325
00:19:50,501 --> 00:19:55,276
And the motto "omne solum
forti patria est".
326
00:19:55,301 --> 00:19:58,556
Yeah? "Every land
is home to the brave man".
327
00:19:58,581 --> 00:20:01,556
I love that. I love that.
328
00:20:01,581 --> 00:20:03,195
It's quite special.
329
00:20:10,661 --> 00:20:12,886
CLUCKING
330
00:20:17,451 --> 00:20:21,036
Back in the abandoned store room,
and with the steps removed,
331
00:20:21,061 --> 00:20:25,476
Dick's breathing new life
into the building with gusto.
332
00:20:25,501 --> 00:20:30,676
Today's task, transforming some old
solid wood doors into new
333
00:20:30,701 --> 00:20:32,916
solid wood workbenches.
334
00:20:34,270 --> 00:20:36,506
I need a workshop
to build my workshop.
335
00:20:39,581 --> 00:20:44,115
Providing the muscle
is their French helper Contin.
336
00:20:44,140 --> 00:20:46,396
Oui, Contin!
337
00:20:46,421 --> 00:20:48,315
Allez, allez, turn this one over.
338
00:20:50,621 --> 00:20:53,506
I have absolutely no idea
where this door came from.
339
00:20:53,531 --> 00:20:56,916
It's been somewhere
in a building at some stage.
340
00:20:56,941 --> 00:20:59,476
It was just lying around the place,
so at this stage,
341
00:20:59,501 --> 00:21:01,706
we're now repurposing it.
342
00:21:03,061 --> 00:21:05,115
Never one for wasting the pennies,
343
00:21:05,140 --> 00:21:08,606
nor particularly concerned
with designer good looks,
344
00:21:08,631 --> 00:21:11,706
Dick's determined to
build his workshop just out of bits
345
00:21:11,731 --> 00:21:14,226
and pieces from around the chateau.
346
00:21:14,251 --> 00:21:17,716
Everything in a workshop is heavy.
So, we're going in that way.
347
00:21:17,741 --> 00:21:19,636
You go in the corner.
348
00:21:19,661 --> 00:21:20,836
Right, on the top.
349
00:21:22,781 --> 00:21:25,135
We'll have to get it level.
I like it.
350
00:21:26,761 --> 00:21:28,015
That will work.
351
00:21:39,761 --> 00:21:42,986
After months of summer sun,
the walled garden,
352
00:21:43,011 --> 00:21:47,885
designed for maximum productivity,
is bursting with edible delights.
353
00:21:49,191 --> 00:21:51,776
I somehow managed to get
this in Dorothy,
354
00:21:51,801 --> 00:21:54,496
because it's called rainbow chard.
And you know what?
355
00:21:54,521 --> 00:21:56,345
I've learned a lot this summer.
356
00:21:56,370 --> 00:22:01,215
I know that when you cut this
with your knife, Dick's knife,
357
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,496
you leave the outer leaves on.
358
00:22:03,521 --> 00:22:05,215
No idea why, but you do.
359
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,526
And it leaves
a lovely little pattern inside.
360
00:22:11,551 --> 00:22:14,576
And with one crop
in particular abundance...
361
00:22:14,601 --> 00:22:15,885
Here we go.
362
00:22:15,910 --> 00:22:18,215
...there's important work to be done.
363
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,936
I want this filled with grapes. OK.
364
00:22:22,961 --> 00:22:25,246
We're into grape juicery.
365
00:22:25,271 --> 00:22:27,986
You can eat any you want.
366
00:22:28,011 --> 00:22:30,706
This is called the grape perks.
367
00:22:30,731 --> 00:22:34,246
Do you think that we'll take
the kids one day to do treading it
368
00:22:34,271 --> 00:22:35,885
with their feet?
369
00:22:35,910 --> 00:22:38,606
You take your shoes off
and you go and you stamp on them
370
00:22:38,631 --> 00:22:41,776
to squish them all up.
Oh, you'd love it.
371
00:22:41,801 --> 00:22:44,376
It feels a bit weird
in between your toes.
372
00:22:44,401 --> 00:22:46,706
GIGGLING
373
00:22:46,731 --> 00:22:49,066
Wow. OK. Right.
374
00:22:49,091 --> 00:22:51,526
I think these are ready
for a squish in the first batch.
375
00:22:51,551 --> 00:22:54,376
OK. Shall we go for it?
A few more, one more.
376
00:22:54,401 --> 00:22:56,215
OK, the grapes are in there.
377
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,456
Let me get down to grape contact.
378
00:23:07,731 --> 00:23:09,606
Yay, look at that, Arthur!
379
00:23:09,631 --> 00:23:12,215
Go on, matey.
Here we go, keep it coming.
380
00:23:13,351 --> 00:23:15,936
Now every turn's more juice.
381
00:23:15,961 --> 00:23:18,246
It looks beautiful.
382
00:23:18,271 --> 00:23:20,856
With grape juice
fresh from the press...
383
00:23:20,881 --> 00:23:22,135
Right, here we go.
384
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:26,536
...a cheeky little
Chateau de la Motte-Husson 2020...
385
00:23:26,561 --> 00:23:28,965
We're one step
away from making a vintage.
386
00:23:28,990 --> 00:23:31,536
Right, OK? Cheers!
387
00:23:31,561 --> 00:23:35,536
...is a thirst-quenching end
to a long summer's day.
388
00:23:36,631 --> 00:23:38,326
Mm.
389
00:23:38,351 --> 00:23:40,706
That's lovely. Oh, Dorothy, look.
390
00:23:40,731 --> 00:23:42,326
It's a little ladybird.
391
00:23:42,351 --> 00:23:46,816
Hold your finger up in the air.
It's trying to fly away.
392
00:23:46,841 --> 00:23:49,606
It's getting ready to go.
Yay, and it's away.
393
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,095
Dick and Angel's chateau
may have 45 rooms,
394
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:06,496
12 acres of land
and seven outbuildings,
395
00:24:06,521 --> 00:24:10,496
but it didn't have, in Dick's eyes,
a decent-sized workshop.
396
00:24:13,641 --> 00:24:15,895
This has got to go up.
397
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,136
And put your corner up.
398
00:24:19,481 --> 00:24:23,775
A place to tackle the giant jobs
a home of this scale demands.
399
00:24:25,561 --> 00:24:28,496
As well as finding a bit of peace
and quiet.
400
00:24:30,771 --> 00:24:32,025
Woodwork,
401
00:24:32,050 --> 00:24:34,256
metalwork, projects.
402
00:24:37,361 --> 00:24:39,306
Good. Bar.
403
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,136
And one glance at Dick's old
workshop in the chateau
404
00:24:46,161 --> 00:24:49,975
proves exactly why
he needs a new bigger one.
405
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,696
It does, though, have buried,
under several strata of bits
406
00:24:53,721 --> 00:24:57,336
and bobs,
a worktop almost four metres long.
407
00:25:00,601 --> 00:25:05,666
This has not been clear
since the first week it went up.
408
00:25:05,691 --> 00:25:07,666
It's just a matter of locating it.
409
00:25:07,691 --> 00:25:09,975
I'm looking forward
to finding things
410
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,386
I haven't seen for a long time.
411
00:25:15,441 --> 00:25:17,336
Ta-da!
412
00:25:17,361 --> 00:25:19,256
Slide it back so it doesn't
come off there. Oh!
413
00:25:19,281 --> 00:25:21,576
Oh! It's heavy.
414
00:25:21,601 --> 00:25:23,081
You made a funny noise
there, Quentin.
415
00:25:25,331 --> 00:25:27,616
This is nice and solid, isn't it?
416
00:25:27,641 --> 00:25:28,855
Keep it vertical, Quentin.
417
00:25:32,161 --> 00:25:33,696
Gauche, droite, gauche, droite.
418
00:25:40,081 --> 00:25:42,975
Just sit it up here.
Right. Here we go.
419
00:25:44,281 --> 00:25:46,056
Push it all
the way in against the wall.
420
00:25:49,601 --> 00:25:50,855
Do you know what's really sad?
421
00:25:52,081 --> 00:25:54,386
All the screwdrivers are over
in the other place.
422
00:25:54,411 --> 00:25:55,411
QUENTIN LAUGHS
423
00:26:01,361 --> 00:26:04,775
Dick, though,
isn't the only one into recycling.
424
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,136
Angel's heading up to her workroom -
the treasury -
425
00:26:08,161 --> 00:26:12,666
the place she finds inspiration
and where she can begin to rescue
426
00:26:12,691 --> 00:26:15,826
the Victorian clothes dryer
from the workshop clear-out.
427
00:26:19,771 --> 00:26:23,496
We found so many treasures
upstairs in the attic.
428
00:26:23,521 --> 00:26:27,905
I know it totally looked like junk
but as we were
429
00:26:27,930 --> 00:26:30,616
kind of rummaging through
there's fires,
430
00:26:30,641 --> 00:26:32,666
there's bits of utility.
431
00:26:32,691 --> 00:26:35,416
Victorian air dryers are a useful
432
00:26:35,441 --> 00:26:39,975
bit of equipment that I think look
quite attractive, actually.
433
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,576
And Angel reckons she has enough
of the original wooden slats
434
00:26:43,601 --> 00:26:46,025
to remake this one - or at least
most of it.
435
00:26:47,930 --> 00:26:51,105
I don't know. Normally you have
about four or six kind of slats,
436
00:26:51,130 --> 00:26:53,546
but this one definitely had six,
437
00:26:53,571 --> 00:26:56,696
however two of them
were totally ruined -
438
00:26:56,721 --> 00:27:00,056
they were gone - and I was trying
to find something that would give me
439
00:27:00,081 --> 00:27:03,216
just a little, you know, bit
of height variation and I couldn't
440
00:27:03,241 --> 00:27:07,576
find anything and then the moment,
the moment -
441
00:27:07,601 --> 00:27:09,905
one of these cut in half.
442
00:27:09,930 --> 00:27:15,025
Bringing the dryer back to life
requires a bit of jiggery-pokery.
443
00:27:15,050 --> 00:27:16,386
I'm going to g0...
444
00:27:16,411 --> 00:27:18,266
One...
445
00:27:18,291 --> 00:27:20,025
Two...
446
00:27:20,050 --> 00:27:22,296
If we put these here...
447
00:27:22,321 --> 00:27:23,321
This one here.
448
00:27:25,211 --> 00:27:28,626
Now, Dick can hang tools or cables.
You know it is going to be useful.
449
00:27:28,651 --> 00:27:32,016
I just am excited that
it's from that room.
450
00:27:34,961 --> 00:27:37,905
All Angel has to do now
is bolt it together
451
00:27:37,930 --> 00:27:40,626
and attach the new
rope for the pulley.
452
00:27:40,651 --> 00:27:43,826
It's exactly the same
kind of mechanism for a Roman blind
453
00:27:43,851 --> 00:27:45,036
that I did in the boat.
454
00:27:45,061 --> 00:27:47,016
You get your two
sort of little eyelets,
455
00:27:47,041 --> 00:27:50,105
you have your one string going up
and you have your two string
456
00:27:50,130 --> 00:27:53,576
going up and when you pull them
both it goes up and down.
457
00:27:53,601 --> 00:27:57,216
I mean, it's very simple,
very clever and very effective.
458
00:27:57,241 --> 00:27:59,546
But as it's a secret gift for Dick,
459
00:27:59,571 --> 00:28:01,826
Angel's been keeping
her plans to herself.
460
00:28:03,930 --> 00:28:09,626
I did have to ask Dick for a load
of coach bolts and he did look at me
461
00:28:09,651 --> 00:28:10,855
like, "What are you doing?"
462
00:28:12,321 --> 00:28:15,985
I love it and I love the fact that
it's come from the house
463
00:28:16,010 --> 00:28:17,576
and that we're still finding things,
464
00:28:17,601 --> 00:28:20,655
you know. We're five years on
and, you know, I know I've said it
465
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,936
before but I never,
ever want to stop finding things.
466
00:28:25,130 --> 00:28:29,105
I am excited to sort of give him
something that I've done.
467
00:28:31,491 --> 00:28:34,056
Right, that is good.
That is going to change his life.
468
00:28:46,601 --> 00:28:50,296
Outside, Dick and builder mate
Steve's latest challenge
469
00:28:50,321 --> 00:28:53,016
is to fit two new doors
to the workshop entrance.
470
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,985
First, though,
they need to remove the old ones -
471
00:29:00,010 --> 00:29:02,266
or at least what remains of them.
There's this one.
472
00:29:03,930 --> 00:29:05,576
Down we go.
473
00:29:12,041 --> 00:29:16,426
But its 150-year-old hinges
are in surprisingly good nick.
474
00:29:18,961 --> 00:29:23,655
I want to use the same
hinges on the same hinge posts
475
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,096
because, you know, they're strong
and why reinvent the wheel?
476
00:29:27,121 --> 00:29:30,105
These doors are designed... The
gates that were there initially -
477
00:29:30,130 --> 00:29:32,735
watch - they go all the way
round out of the way.
478
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,346
Out of the way, yes. That is why
they are that shape.
479
00:29:37,810 --> 00:29:40,735
While Dick strengthens
the 19th-century brackets
480
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:45,266
with a bit of 21st-century welding,
builder mate Steve
481
00:29:45,291 --> 00:29:48,376
starts building
the frame for the new doors -
482
00:29:48,401 --> 00:29:50,655
using the old ones as a template.
483
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,496
Just take five mil off these.
484
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,066
As they're both working off
the remnants of the original doors,
485
00:29:57,091 --> 00:30:00,855
all Dick and Steve can hope
for is that the original Victorian
486
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,096
carpenters got their sums right.
487
00:30:04,321 --> 00:30:05,785
OK, that's good enough for me.
488
00:30:14,851 --> 00:30:17,626
Now Dick's new workshop
is taking shape,
489
00:30:17,651 --> 00:30:21,016
Angel has more plans
to accessorise it
490
00:30:21,041 --> 00:30:25,855
and to do that she needs the expert
skills of Arthur and Dorothy.
491
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,066
Daddy has got a new workshop, OK?
492
00:30:29,091 --> 00:30:32,346
And I think you would quite like
to put something in there
493
00:30:32,371 --> 00:30:33,626
that you have made.
494
00:30:33,651 --> 00:30:37,066
Something that Daddy uses
all the time. Tape! Tape.
495
00:30:37,091 --> 00:30:39,655
I know, for absolutely everything.
496
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,706
As there are different
types of tape,
497
00:30:41,731 --> 00:30:44,706
a multidiscipline dispenser
is needed.
498
00:30:44,731 --> 00:30:49,096
Luckily, Arthur and Dorothy have
the tools as well as the know-how.
499
00:30:49,121 --> 00:30:54,506
It would be great if we could have
a dial all the way through.
500
00:30:54,531 --> 00:30:57,426
Was it really?
501
00:30:57,451 --> 00:31:00,266
Do you think you could get a
hole lined up all the way
502
00:31:00,291 --> 00:31:02,576
through from one end to the other?
503
00:31:06,371 --> 00:31:09,296
So, shall we just get started?
Right, I'm taking this apart.
504
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,346
So, while Arthur concentrates
on the integrity of the structure...
505
00:31:17,091 --> 00:31:19,626
I'm loving it.
506
00:31:19,651 --> 00:31:22,936
...six-year-old Dorothy is keen
to give it a personal touch.
507
00:31:22,961 --> 00:31:27,346
Oh, Dorothy, that's nice. There you
go. I know you like that colour.
508
00:31:27,371 --> 00:31:29,096
I need another.
509
00:31:29,121 --> 00:31:32,296
This is good.
510
00:31:32,321 --> 00:31:36,626
There we go. Love it, love it,
love it. D-A-D.
511
00:31:37,980 --> 00:31:41,428
And, following in his father's
engineering footsteps,
512
00:31:41,453 --> 00:31:44,627
Arthur's soon preparing
the topping-out ceremony.
513
00:31:49,732 --> 00:31:51,318
I think Daddy's going to love it.
514
00:31:56,453 --> 00:31:59,757
Arthur and Dorothy's work
may be done, but up in her attic
515
00:31:59,782 --> 00:32:03,398
workroom Angel has a bit of extra
engineering to do.
516
00:32:04,732 --> 00:32:06,707
The kids have done a lovely job.
517
00:32:06,732 --> 00:32:11,788
I mean, it's cute and the hacksaw
is just going to make this really,
518
00:32:11,813 --> 00:32:12,813
really useful.
519
00:32:13,982 --> 00:32:16,788
Glueing on a hacksaw blade
will not only make the perfect
520
00:32:16,813 --> 00:32:21,198
serrated edge but also
the dispenser indispensable.
521
00:32:21,223 --> 00:32:24,478
When you can't find something that
you know where it is it is very,
522
00:32:24,503 --> 00:32:26,318
very frustrating.
523
00:32:26,343 --> 00:32:28,788
I'm just quite happy that
Dick is going to have
524
00:32:28,813 --> 00:32:31,068
a space that is going
to be organised.
525
00:32:34,813 --> 00:32:35,988
At the moment, though,
526
00:32:36,013 --> 00:32:38,478
Dick has other more pressing things
on his mind...
527
00:32:40,173 --> 00:32:44,868
...like trying to make super-sized
doors from a 150-year-old template.
528
00:32:46,343 --> 00:32:47,988
So, that's going to start like this.
529
00:32:48,013 --> 00:32:49,918
Yep, we've got
to do what we've got to do.
530
00:32:54,703 --> 00:32:55,703
Back towards me.
531
00:32:57,373 --> 00:32:58,678
Let's get the first door up.
532
00:32:58,703 --> 00:33:02,637
Soon, Dick's freshly-cut doors
are ready for a fitting.
533
00:33:02,662 --> 00:33:05,757
Forward, push away from me,
Steve, away, that's good. Now...
534
00:33:07,343 --> 00:33:08,988
The right hand door
is yours, Quentin.
535
00:33:09,013 --> 00:33:11,837
Just keep it there
and try to keep it vertical.
536
00:33:11,862 --> 00:33:14,148
Right, now, that one is good.
537
00:33:14,173 --> 00:33:16,757
Right, now, Steve, kick
the bottom of your door in a bit.
538
00:33:18,703 --> 00:33:21,757
Good. OK, have you two got
the weight? Yep.
539
00:33:21,782 --> 00:33:24,068
You've both got it? Good.
540
00:33:24,093 --> 00:33:25,228
Don't move, anybody.
541
00:33:27,532 --> 00:33:31,118
Awaiting their hinges,
Dick is almost positive that
542
00:33:31,143 --> 00:33:35,558
a piece of four by two will hold
the enormous freestanding doors.
543
00:33:38,093 --> 00:33:40,398
Right, now you can both step away.
544
00:33:43,813 --> 00:33:44,837
Cowa rds!
545
00:33:50,862 --> 00:33:53,228
Dick may be in charge
of construction,
546
00:33:53,253 --> 00:33:57,118
but Angel is definitely in charge
of aesthetics and door paint.
547
00:33:59,813 --> 00:34:02,398
So, on the hunt
for suitable colours,
548
00:34:02,423 --> 00:34:05,507
Angel has ventured into
Dick's labyrinthine workshop.
549
00:34:07,093 --> 00:34:09,507
This is the workshop cleared out.
550
00:34:09,532 --> 00:34:11,837
Honestly, it's full over there.
551
00:34:15,893 --> 00:34:17,358
Ah.
552
00:34:23,223 --> 00:34:25,558
I have not seen this before.
553
00:34:25,583 --> 00:34:27,918
I didn't even know
it was behind here
554
00:34:27,943 --> 00:34:32,328
because there's been stuff actually
on here, and this is lovely.
555
00:34:32,353 --> 00:34:35,398
This is a wallpaper that
I haven't got in the scraps.
556
00:34:38,253 --> 00:34:42,837
Over the past five years,
Angel's collected 76 different
557
00:34:42,862 --> 00:34:46,038
antique wallpaper
designs from around the chateau.
558
00:34:46,063 --> 00:34:47,507
She's now just found her 77th.
559
00:34:49,453 --> 00:34:52,757
I know, to most people,
this is just junk, but, you know,
560
00:34:52,782 --> 00:34:57,118
I've been trying to preserve all
the wallpaper because it feels like
561
00:34:57,143 --> 00:34:58,757
that's sort of the historical
562
00:34:58,782 --> 00:35:01,837
kind of design of the house, and I
love it. I've been obsessed with it.
563
00:35:01,862 --> 00:35:04,868
And I haven't got this and I haven't
seen it and the first time
564
00:35:04,893 --> 00:35:08,688
I see it it's got loads of holes
in it and green spray paint.
565
00:35:10,253 --> 00:35:12,637
He won't remember where
this is from now.
566
00:35:15,173 --> 00:35:19,148
The battle to get Dick's super-size
doors into the super-size doorway...
567
00:35:19,173 --> 00:35:20,173
All right, Steve.
568
00:35:21,303 --> 00:35:23,148
...is almost won.
569
00:35:25,583 --> 00:35:27,837
All right for tightness? Yeah, good.
570
00:35:27,862 --> 00:35:30,078
See if this door opener falls off.
571
00:35:32,662 --> 00:35:33,868
Right...
572
00:35:35,333 --> 00:35:37,198
Ladies and gentlemen...
573
00:35:37,223 --> 00:35:38,868
That was easy.
574
00:35:40,532 --> 00:35:42,278
With the doors finally up,
575
00:35:42,303 --> 00:35:45,918
Dick's attention can
move from the outside to the inside.
576
00:36:06,612 --> 00:36:09,438
A few clays later,
with all hands to the pump,
577
00:36:09,463 --> 00:36:12,637
a functioning workshop is emerging.
578
00:36:12,662 --> 00:36:16,158
Dick's been busy cooking up
crafty storage solutions.
579
00:36:19,223 --> 00:36:22,478
This is a muffin dish and the whole
thing is getting another life
580
00:36:22,503 --> 00:36:24,198
out of it,
and that's what Angela does.
581
00:36:24,223 --> 00:36:28,717
What we do with our things
that we find is to give them
582
00:36:28,742 --> 00:36:31,308
another lease of life. There you go.
583
00:36:31,333 --> 00:36:33,128
Nice little storage area.
584
00:36:33,153 --> 00:36:35,478
Six little pots for storing
things in. job done.
585
00:36:36,943 --> 00:36:38,918
What he hasn't counted on, though,
586
00:36:38,943 --> 00:36:44,798
is that Angel has her own ideas for
unusual ways of keeping things tidy.
587
00:36:44,823 --> 00:36:46,128
Hi, beautiful. Woohoo!
588
00:36:47,333 --> 00:36:51,278
It's an air dryer. It's
the one that we found. It's a gift.
589
00:36:51,303 --> 00:36:52,668
That's nice.
590
00:36:52,693 --> 00:36:57,198
I can put my welding masks, my
chainsaw masks, my chainsaw suits...
591
00:36:57,223 --> 00:37:00,358
Yeah, exactly... and various bits
and pieces can hang from up high.
592
00:37:00,383 --> 00:37:01,408
Good, thank you.
593
00:37:02,823 --> 00:37:05,668
Let me at least help you
and tidy up a bit.
594
00:37:06,943 --> 00:37:08,717
Angel has already spotted
595
00:37:08,742 --> 00:37:12,128
and makes a beeline for Dick's
box of string and twine.
596
00:37:14,693 --> 00:37:17,918
And the stringer, the wooden side
support of the old stairs,
597
00:37:17,943 --> 00:37:20,238
provides the perfect clutter buster.
598
00:37:20,263 --> 00:37:22,998
They're not related -
it being a stringer and a string.
599
00:37:25,303 --> 00:37:27,637
Not to be outdone
in his own workshop,
600
00:37:27,662 --> 00:37:31,558
Dick's keen to show off his
ingenious use of plumber's piping.
601
00:37:32,823 --> 00:37:35,158
This is the charging station
with the batteries.
602
00:37:35,183 --> 00:37:37,028
Ah, I like that, yeah.
Look and see. Watch.
603
00:37:40,542 --> 00:37:44,597
Gosh, it's quite exciting.
You're like the cowboy of workshops.
604
00:37:44,622 --> 00:37:46,597
I don't think that's
a compliment from you. Why?
605
00:37:46,622 --> 00:37:47,622
SHE LAUGHS
606
00:37:50,183 --> 00:37:53,998
But Angel's more interested
in what Dick's got hidden under
607
00:37:54,023 --> 00:37:57,717
the trolley he's been making.
Do you remember where this is from?
608
00:37:57,742 --> 00:38:00,597
No idea. just the workshop.
This bit? Yeah.
609
00:38:00,622 --> 00:38:02,238
No, where the
wood was from originally,
610
00:38:02,263 --> 00:38:07,847
because I haven't seen this
wallpaper and it's gorgeous. OK.
611
00:38:08,923 --> 00:38:10,688
You know that... I'm really worried.
612
00:38:10,713 --> 00:38:13,258
I'm really worried about looking
underneath my worktops.
613
00:38:13,283 --> 00:38:15,048
So, you don't remember?
The question...
614
00:38:15,073 --> 00:38:19,458
I'm not telling you off -
I'm asking you - look at me -
615
00:38:19,483 --> 00:38:22,867
I'm asking you where it came
from originally. Do you remember?
616
00:38:22,892 --> 00:38:27,407
The piece of wood. Darling, I have
no idea. Literally no idea.
617
00:38:27,432 --> 00:38:33,378
It was one of the rooms. And I just
feel guilty because I didn't know...
618
00:38:33,403 --> 00:38:35,338
I've learnt more over
the last five years
619
00:38:35,363 --> 00:38:37,978
and if you ever need to look at it
again if you look underneath
620
00:38:38,003 --> 00:38:40,258
this thing with the wheels
you'll find it. Thank you.
621
00:38:42,682 --> 00:38:46,258
To avoid further worktop scrutiny,
Dick decides it's time
622
00:38:46,283 --> 00:38:50,588
for the Victorian laundry rack
to be launched into its new life...
623
00:38:52,483 --> 00:38:55,258
...as a 21st-century PPE holder.
624
00:38:55,283 --> 00:38:58,258
Right. There we go.
To me, and release.
625
00:38:59,793 --> 00:39:02,128
Right. Et voila. Very special.
626
00:39:03,253 --> 00:39:04,768
I think it's lovely. Thank you.
627
00:39:20,048 --> 00:39:22,333
As dusk falls at the chateau,
628
00:39:22,358 --> 00:39:25,053
and with his new workshop, after a
lot of hard graft,
629
00:39:25,078 --> 00:39:27,383
now close to completion,
630
00:39:27,408 --> 00:39:30,492
Dick has one final item to take
delivery of...
631
00:39:35,038 --> 00:39:37,013
Monsieur, bonjour!
632
00:39:37,038 --> 00:39:38,412
Ca va?
633
00:39:38,437 --> 00:39:41,333
...the ultimate man cave accessory.
634
00:39:41,358 --> 00:39:43,653
Exactement. Yeah?
635
00:39:43,678 --> 00:39:45,292
You don't know how happy this makes
me.
636
00:39:46,567 --> 00:39:48,903
Sometimes you wait a long time for
something special,
637
00:39:48,928 --> 00:39:53,263
and I've always wanted to have a
big, chunky machine for woodwork.
638
00:39:53,288 --> 00:39:55,773
This has done us well.
639
00:39:55,798 --> 00:39:58,292
That is the real McCoy.
640
00:39:59,598 --> 00:40:04,853
This pre-loved, 750kg, three-phase
lathe
641
00:40:04,878 --> 00:40:09,492
with circular saw, powerful
mortiser and planing features
642
00:40:09,517 --> 00:40:12,213
looks set to steal Dick's heart.
643
00:40:13,288 --> 00:40:14,573
DICK LAUGHS
644
00:40:14,598 --> 00:40:16,903
It's got the big routing bits on it.
645
00:40:16,928 --> 00:40:19,263
Throw me a tree and I'll make you a
window.
646
00:40:19,288 --> 00:40:21,183
Do you know what the worst thing is,
actually?
647
00:40:21,208 --> 00:40:23,053
Angel keeps talking about a new
front door.
648
00:40:23,078 --> 00:40:25,333
I don't think I've got many excuses
now.
649
00:40:33,767 --> 00:40:36,333
What was once an abandoned
outbuilding,
650
00:40:36,358 --> 00:40:39,742
left uncared for and forgotten for
decades...
651
00:40:42,958 --> 00:40:47,263
...is now once again a productive
part of chateau life.
652
00:40:48,878 --> 00:40:51,412
A workshop that will be vital
653
00:40:51,437 --> 00:40:54,622
if Dick and Angel are to tackle the
biggest jobs
654
00:40:54,647 --> 00:40:56,853
on their never-ending to-do list.
655
00:41:07,567 --> 00:41:10,542
That's not just a cleaning roll
holder,
656
00:41:10,567 --> 00:41:14,412
that's one made by my big boy James
George.
657
00:41:14,437 --> 00:41:17,823
He made that when he was a little
bit older than Arthur is now.
658
00:41:17,848 --> 00:41:20,622
It's all part of the memories that
come together in your workshop,
659
00:41:20,647 --> 00:41:23,983
cos it doesn't matter where you look
in here, there's a lot of history.
660
00:41:24,008 --> 00:41:25,773
I got this little bad boy.
661
00:41:25,798 --> 00:41:29,093
She was an original Moore wrench
when I got my first car.
662
00:41:30,397 --> 00:41:31,412
Yeah.
663
00:41:33,488 --> 00:41:35,773
My dad's hammer.
664
00:41:35,798 --> 00:41:37,623
You always pinch tools from
somebody, don't you?
665
00:41:37,647 --> 00:41:39,093
There you go.
666
00:41:39,118 --> 00:41:40,542
Manky old black hammer.
667
00:41:40,567 --> 00:41:44,013
It's not quite straight, it's been bent
a little bit too much, Dad's hammer.
668
00:41:44,038 --> 00:41:45,263
I love it.
669
00:41:46,317 --> 00:41:51,013
Dick's new workshop is designed to
tackle tasks big and small.
670
00:41:51,038 --> 00:41:53,013
My tOY-
671
00:41:53,038 --> 00:41:55,773
That's going to be my age, probably,
672
00:41:55,798 --> 00:41:58,093
and this'll be good for a lot of
years.
673
00:41:58,118 --> 00:42:00,542
This was in our downstairs kitchen.
674
00:42:00,567 --> 00:42:03,573
Broken glass on it and little
electromagnetics here.
675
00:42:03,598 --> 00:42:06,013
When you put current across them, up
comes the indicator.
676
00:42:06,038 --> 00:42:08,422
It says what room somebody wants you
in.
677
00:42:08,447 --> 00:42:10,372
There's even a little telephone on
it.
678
00:42:10,397 --> 00:42:13,013
The chap upstairs will say, "Bring
up my gin and tonic,"
679
00:42:13,038 --> 00:42:15,983
and bzz! Ding. He's in the salon,
he's in the other room,
680
00:42:16,008 --> 00:42:18,853
and that has to be brought back to
life at some stage.
681
00:42:22,238 --> 00:42:25,133
What I have to do now is put a
combination lock on
682
00:42:25,158 --> 00:42:27,133
and let nobody in,
683
00:42:27,158 --> 00:42:31,063
cos this is very definitely my
special place.
684
00:42:31,088 --> 00:42:33,343
I love it, yeah.
685
00:42:33,368 --> 00:42:34,853
I've waited a long time for this.
686
00:42:43,447 --> 00:42:44,733
In the chateau,
687
00:42:44,758 --> 00:42:48,783
Angel, inspired by the Baglionis'
19th-century ledger,
688
00:42:48,808 --> 00:42:54,183
is keen to celebrate Dick's new
domain with flavours from the past.
689
00:42:54,208 --> 00:42:56,903
I am the queen cocktail-maker in our
house.
690
00:42:56,928 --> 00:43:00,213
When we were reading the book, I
just loved it with so much grenadine,
691
00:43:00,238 --> 00:43:03,853
and always quite near it, there was
the orange blossom water.
692
00:43:03,878 --> 00:43:06,372
Now, I don't know if they actually
put them together.
693
00:43:06,397 --> 00:43:08,733
I thought, "You know what? I'm going
to try that."
694
00:43:11,168 --> 00:43:13,733
I just want to see where I am with
my taste.
695
00:43:16,678 --> 00:43:18,263
Oh, that is amazing.
696
00:43:18,288 --> 00:43:20,813
What was also in the book was...
697
00:43:20,838 --> 00:43:22,093
Ta-da!
698
00:43:22,118 --> 00:43:23,172
These.
699
00:43:23,197 --> 00:43:26,823
So, I just think that if we were
going to nibble on anything
700
00:43:26,848 --> 00:43:29,653
with our grenadine punch,
701
00:43:29,678 --> 00:43:31,903
it's going to be lady's fingers.
702
00:43:37,527 --> 00:43:39,213
He's got the door shut!
703
00:43:39,238 --> 00:43:40,863
Go and shout, "Daddy!"
704
00:43:42,397 --> 00:43:44,013
DOROTHY:
705
00:43:44,038 --> 00:43:45,263
DICK: What?
706
00:43:47,168 --> 00:43:50,093
You have be over 59 to come in here.
707
00:43:50,118 --> 00:43:52,542
What?! You've got pressies for me?
708
00:43:53,558 --> 00:43:55,983
What?! That is so beautiful!
709
00:43:56,008 --> 00:43:57,622
Dorothy, you...
710
00:44:02,567 --> 00:44:04,813
Look at how good that is!
711
00:44:04,838 --> 00:44:06,343
You pull it out.
712
00:44:06,368 --> 00:44:08,013
"Oh, I need this length."
713
00:44:08,038 --> 00:44:09,093
And you go...
714
00:44:09,118 --> 00:44:10,292
And it comes off.
715
00:44:11,678 --> 00:44:14,703
You can put it somewhere in my
workshop if you want, darling.
716
00:44:16,168 --> 00:44:18,143
Anywhere you want, it's my workshop.
717
00:44:18,168 --> 00:44:19,453
Don't get used to that,
718
00:44:19,478 --> 00:44:22,172
cos you're not allowed to do
much in here without my permission.
719
00:44:23,168 --> 00:44:24,933
SHE EXCLAIMS
720
00:44:27,368 --> 00:44:29,372
DICK LAUGHS
721
00:44:29,397 --> 00:44:32,223
How come we've got drinks and
biscuits?
722
00:44:32,248 --> 00:44:33,863
Because I'm in our workshop.
723
00:44:33,888 --> 00:44:36,813
Oh, this isn't our workshop. This is
my workshop.
724
00:44:36,838 --> 00:44:38,223
That's yours, baby.
725
00:44:38,248 --> 00:44:41,703
This is grenadine with a touch
of orange blossom.
726
00:44:42,728 --> 00:44:43,933
To my workshop,
727
00:44:43,958 --> 00:44:47,622
and you're not allowed in here
without a written letter from me.
728
00:44:47,647 --> 00:44:48,783
Cheers!
729
00:44:48,808 --> 00:44:51,903
And you have to be this tall to
get in here. ANGEL LAUGHS
730
00:44:51,928 --> 00:44:54,983
Unfortunately, neither Arthur nor
Dorothy
731
00:44:55,008 --> 00:44:56,863
have quite got the message yet.
732
00:45:00,118 --> 00:45:01,583
Party!
733
00:45:05,118 --> 00:45:06,172
Enough, enough!
734
00:45:06,197 --> 00:45:08,622
This is a place of peace!
735
00:45:08,647 --> 00:45:10,893
But as soon as order's restored,
736
00:45:10,918 --> 00:45:13,223
one of Dick's first repair jobs
737
00:45:13,248 --> 00:45:17,093
arrives in the shape of the rather
battered bicycle from upstairs.
738
00:45:17,118 --> 00:45:18,422
Do-Do, look.
739
00:45:18,447 --> 00:45:19,653
DOROTHY EXCLAIMS
740
00:45:19,678 --> 00:45:21,143
ls that your size, Dorothy?
741
00:45:21,168 --> 00:45:23,983
I got to say, Dorothy, that is a
gorgeous shape.
742
00:45:24,008 --> 00:45:26,622
This is one of my first projects, is
it?
743
00:45:26,647 --> 00:45:28,893
Stand up.
744
00:45:28,918 --> 00:45:31,223
The Baglionis' old bicycle
745
00:45:31,248 --> 00:45:34,583
may have languished for years in
the attic upstairs,
746
00:45:34,608 --> 00:45:37,502
but if Dick can work his magic,
747
00:45:37,527 --> 00:45:40,622
he might just be able to bring it
back to life.
748
00:45:40,647 --> 00:45:45,013
Dorothy for one has full confidence
in his abilities.
749
00:45:45,038 --> 00:45:47,663
Dorothy, what colour do you want
it to be, kiddo?
750
00:45:51,368 --> 00:45:53,063
Oh, you want three colours?
751
00:46:02,968 --> 00:46:04,302
Next time...
752
00:46:04,327 --> 00:46:06,783
OK, I'm turning it on!
753
00:46:06,808 --> 00:46:08,583
...communication is key.
754
00:46:08,608 --> 00:46:10,863
Is it on? No.
755
00:46:10,888 --> 00:46:12,422
Really?
756
00:46:12,447 --> 00:46:15,733
The new tower library means tricky
trick for Dick...
757
00:46:15,758 --> 00:46:20,172
O-level mathematics from 1975.
758
00:46:20,197 --> 00:46:23,382
...and there's festive family
foraging.
759
00:46:23,407 --> 00:46:26,093
We are going to have sloe gin this
Christmas.
760
