1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,055
In the heart of
the French countryside,
2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,935
a magnificent chateau has been
lovingly brought back to life
3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,935
by an intrepid British couple.
4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,215
Come on, missus!
5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,015
Engineer Dick Straw bridge,
6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,295
and his wife, designer Angel.
7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,495
This is the magic.
8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,375
Over the past eight years,
9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:32,815
over 50 beautiful spaces have been
rebuilt, restored, or reimagined.
10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,935
Smile for mummy! Smile!
11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,215
The enormous leaking roof...
12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,175
That's a bad sign.
13
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,495
The sunlight coming through
the holes is not good.
14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,095
...now safe for another 100 years.
15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,735
The chateau's towering walls...
16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,335
...almost restored to
their former glory.
17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,895
Honestly, I can't...
it's exactly right!
18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:57,975
Service!
19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,495
Their hard work not only
helping create a successful
20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,815
wedding and events business...
21
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,575
People are smiling and
they're crying, and they're hugging
22
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,975
and they're drinking bubbly -
and you know what?
23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,535
This house was meant to do that.
24
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:15,375
...but also,
an extraordinary family home,
25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,975
bursting with love...
26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,375
Up. Oh, oh!
27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,335
...joy and laughter.
28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,655
THEY LAUGH
29
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,975
Now it's time for the final chapter
in this French fairy tale.
30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,335
One that is packed
with new adventures...
31
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,895
What happens in workshop
stays in the workshop.
32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,455
...mysteries.
33
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,455
THEY CHEER
34
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,935
...plans...
35
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:40,535
High ceiling makes me want
to have a swing.
36
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:41,735
...and problems.
37
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,095
Oh, no! Argh!
THEY LAUGH
38
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,535
But best of all, a happy ending.
39
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,335
Yes! Woohoo!
40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:08,015
The Chateau de la Motte Husson
was built 150 years ago.
41
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,655
But, as it was constructed on
top of a 12th-century fortress,
42
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,175
the prospect of finding treasure
is a possibility.
43
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,255
Where are you, dog?
44
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,295
And one which Dick and Angel
are rather keen to check out.
45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,615
Right, Arthur.
OK, this is, if it's iron.
46
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:26,535
Yeah. This is if it's...
47
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,935
Money? Ancl that's a bit, sort of,
other precious metals, OK?
48
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,575
We're off.
49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,695
Are you ready to dig?
Ready to dig.
50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,695
Oh.
51
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,135
Sounded like a treasure chest.
52
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,415
HE LAUGHS
53
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,495
Oh...oh!
54
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,375
Hold on, hold on.
55
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,695
Hold on. We don't know what it is.
56
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,695
It's a chisel! It's a chisel.
57
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,415
It could be very old, couldn't it?
58
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,015
It could be.
59
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,575
First bit of treasure.
60
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,735
Oh... Oh. What do you think, Arthur?
61
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,775
It could be a diamond!
62
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,735
Oh, my gosh. Look!
What have you found? Metal!
63
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,095
It's a piece of zinc.
BOTH: What's zinc?
64
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,455
It's what they used to run the
gutters in the house and things.
65
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,935
Interesting.
66
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,615
I've got to say,
this isn't a bad pastime.
67
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:28,295
I'm having a ball.
SHE LAUGHS
68
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,095
It's not about just
finding treasure.
69
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,935
Although that would be
absolutely lovely, you know,
70
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,695
it, kind of, reminds us that
there was people here before us.
71
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,815
Ancl we're just the custodians,
and we know that.
72
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,975
Dick, I found treasure, baby.
Well clone!
73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,175
Do I retire?
SHE LAUGHS
74
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,615
Today's expedition may not have
been the most lucrative, but...
75
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,895
...eight years ago, when
Dick and Angel first unlocked
76
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,695
the door to their new chateau...
77
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,575
We are in!
78
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,295
...it was like opening
an enormous treasure chest.
79
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,575
The family were just going to clear
it out and just bin everything.
80
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,015
We said, "No, just leave it.
It's OK, we'll do it."
81
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,295
Couldn't believe our luck.
82
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,255
Where do we start here?
83
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:19,055
Oh-ho-ho!
84
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,895
Memorabilia of the chateau's
original owners,
85
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,335
the Baglioni family...
86
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,655
That has somebody's initial on.
87
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,015
...who lived here from 1870s.
88
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,455
It's their running costs,
what they ate,
89
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,055
what they spent their money on.
90
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,855
This is how they lived!
91
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,215
Stories from a bygone era...
92
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,615
These are beautiful.
Get something to play these.
93
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,175
...that Dick and Angel have always
been very keen to maintain.
94
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,855
Even creating in one of the turrets,
a Tower of Curiosities,
95
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,495
and filling it with
the ephemera of their finds.
96
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,775
Tootle-doo, follow me.
97
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,695
Including their most recent -
98
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,335
the folly's battered
but beautiful weather vane.
99
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,095
Right, thank you.
100
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,975
Now...put this little loop
in that end there.
101
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,295
This is really...
like keyhole surgery.
102
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,695
Ancl there you go.
That looks amazing.
103
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,495
It actually looks like
it's levitating there.
104
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:31,895
I don't come in here often enough
and look around, and just think,
105
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,575
"Oh! That was from the roof."
106
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,815
We found the sword,
we found in the barn with Arthur.
107
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:39,775
Do you remember dancing
to the records,
108
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,255
across in the Orangery? I do.
109
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:44,095
It was more like wrestling,
because you kept wanting to lead.
110
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,815
SHE LAUGHS
OK, it's up.
111
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:48,535
It's up, and it looks great.
Thank you, baby.
112
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,495
Good.
113
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,815
And, even after eight years,
114
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:55,455
there's still the possibility of
finding more treasures from
115
00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:01,415
the past inside their enormous
200-square-metre attic.
116
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,015
This is representative of
the floor space in the attic.
117
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,375
The stairs continue up
for another floor,
118
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,775
which is now the
Observatoire de Chateau.
119
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,935
Ancl on this side of the building,
we have a huge, big room,
120
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,175
with a lot of cathedral - it's like
all the way up to the apex.
121
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,895
That's big old space.
122
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,775
On that floor,
we've got Angela's tresorie,
123
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,575
and that's looking lovely.
124
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,335
The corridor in the middle is where
we have all of the heat storage,
125
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,095
all the pumps, and all the mechanism
for heating the house is there.
126
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,975
Ancl that room at the back,
that's what we're using as our attic
127
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,255
to keep things, as is this end.
128
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:38,175
But if we look at this area,
129
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,495
the key thing is, this is huge.
130
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,015
Ancl we have a little chimney
breast in the middle of it,
131
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,415
and there's an area here -
and the area, as you go up the steps
132
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,735
and look around to the left,
is dark. It's horrible.
133
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,095
This whole area there,
nobody has played with at all.
134
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,135
OK? That's unlooked at.
135
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,215
The rest of this is one huge,
136
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:07,175
big space available...
to be played with.
137
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,495
"Play" being the operative word -
138
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,255
because with Arthur
and Dorothy growing up fast,
139
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,815
Dick and Angel are keen for them to
have their own space in the chateau.
140
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,015
A games room they can
call their own.
141
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,255
Oooh!
142
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,055
First, though, there's
a bit of clearing to do.
143
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,575
This is a massive job, isn't it?
144
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,575
And, amongst the mishmash
of Straw bridge stuff
145
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,895
and Baglioni bits and pieces...
146
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,215
...there is one very dark
and dusty corner...
147
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,575
Right come on,
come with me, come with me.
148
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,935
...that, even eight years
after moving in,
149
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,615
still needs to be investigated.
150
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,495
It's time to explore the scary bit.
151
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,095
Oh, I don't really want to,
I've got my brave gloves on.
152
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,695
Right, here we go, you ready?
153
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:58,935
SHE GASPS
154
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,455
Oh, my goodness.
155
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,415
That is really grim, innit?
156
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,135
Oh, look!
157
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,735
That pigeon carcass
is probably 20 years old.
158
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,495
Great...lovely.
It's a horrible thing.
159
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,815
But because I left it there,
no-one's gone into that hole.
160
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:14,855
It's very true.
161
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,375
Right, we're going in. Ooh!
162
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,295
What is that?
I was just looking at that.
163
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,655
Oh! Brush it off.
164
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,295
That's for putting balls on.
It looks like a little table.
165
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,615
Do you know what?
166
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,255
Ancl it's only because of the...
across the far side, where
167
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,175
we found the billiard table bits.
Oh, the billiard table,
168
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,295
I think that's for putting balls on.
Oh, yeah!
169
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,895
I don't know, but that's the first
thing that came to my mind.
170
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:47,735
Aha! That's just what
I said more likely.
171
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,855
Oh, look, right.
172
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,215
A billiard cue.
173
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,415
Right, oh, look.
What's this, a shelf?
174
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,775
There's something written
on top of it, Dick.
175
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,455
"Cheese." It's for measuring.
176
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,335
It's the Fromagerie
de Cherchons...
177
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,255
Something of October '39.
178
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,455
That's just after the start
of the Second World War.
179
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,655
The world had changed big-time
when this was sent out.
180
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:16,015
Wow. That's lovely.
We're keeping that.
181
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,455
Needs a clean, but it's worth
keeping. Absolutely.
182
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:25,135
Want to put it between those two?
Yeah. That's interesting.
183
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,815
It's like little glimmers of
how the Baglionis lived.
184
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,775
It's interesting because treasure
isn't all about monetary value.
185
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,375
We're just collecting bits
of history and things
186
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,655
that just can't be replaced.
187
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:40,535
That's... It's incredible.
188
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:42,855
We're collecting the story, kid.
189
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,695
But, as well as collecting
memories from the past...
190
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,575
Found the lid of a potty. Nice.
191
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,975
...Angel's thoughts are also
focusing on the future.
192
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,335
I'm looking around, even just now,
and I think I see this
193
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,655
being a hobbying area.
194
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:03,735
This is where you have your
train set, or your racetrack,
195
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,855
or something - as opposed
to a play room,
196
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,135
it's a, sort of,
hobbying-type place.
197
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,935
And as Dick and Angel continue
to chip away at the enormous
198
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,615
pile of paraphernalia...
199
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,415
There is a massive amount of stuff
to be taken out of here.
200
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:27,015
...even more trinkets and treasures
201
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,335
left behind by the Baglioni
family begin to emerge
202
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,815
That's gotta be cleaned up,
hasn't it, that side saddle?
203
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,295
You know the way you get
a cross for sawing wood on -
204
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,335
if you put it on that,
it could be sat on.
205
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,335
It could be sat on.
206
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,095
Look, look! Old letters, Dick.
207
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,775
More? Yeah, more. Look at this.
208
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,975
"The Village Main Reef Gold
Mining Company Limited, 1921
209
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,815
Well clone, let's have
a look at that.
210
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,255
So, it's eight shares in
a gold-mining company
211
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,935
that's gone into liquidation.
It's in liquidation.
212
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,815
Does that mean we own
eight shares in that?
213
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,295
Cos we have that bit of paper?
214
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,015
We could be gold-mining...
215
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,775
That's like treasure!
SHE LAUGSH
216
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,455
We'll keep that, that's worth
a little bit of research.
217
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,935
Of course it is.
218
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,535
This is a bit of an interesting
corner.
219
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:20,375
It's Angel's next find, though,
220
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,695
that's not only worth more
than gold...
221
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,175
Ooh, look at that!
222
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,975
...but rubber-stamps their plans
to turn the attic into a games room.
223
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,455
I have never seen a train
set like it - hold that.
224
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,815
How lovely is that?
That is just adorable.
225
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,255
I do see it as a bit of a sign,
because you have said about
226
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,135
a train set in here,
or something of the equivalent...
227
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,775
You're talking about getting more
for the children? Yeah, absolutely.
228
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,415
I think there is room for a train
set. I think there is.
229
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,695
Oh... And, by the way...
230
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,295
The train set inspired
by the original Baglioni one!
231
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,575
SHE LAUGHS
232
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,375
At the top of the chateau,
a new games room is being created.
233
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,535
And now it's been cleared,
234
00:12:09,560 --> 00:12:13,015
the five-and-a-half-metre-high
ceiling can be insulated,
235
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,055
and the turret space in the corner
236
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,415
emptied of 150 years'
worth of pigeon poo.
237
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,535
This is...pretty grim.
238
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:26,255
As well as the occasional
interesting find.
239
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,735
Here we go, a classic!
240
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,855
"Guillaume Tell" -
not William, Guillaume Tell.
241
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,055
Oh, yeah.
242
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,095
Next door, in her attic workshop,
243
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,855
Angel's trying to work out
how to hold on to the past -
244
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,695
but at the same time,
create new memories.
245
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,375
The star piece.
246
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,735
Honestly, I can only imagine the
joy that this train set
247
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,375
brought the Baglionis.
248
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,735
Ancl it feels really lovely,
bringing the old
249
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,615
and the new together.
250
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,255
Ancl I think this space is going
to be a mixture of that.
251
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,295
I'm expecting there
to be magnets and winches,
252
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,695
and glue guns and little saws,
and benches.
253
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,095
Ancl I joked to Dick about having
a workbench like my dad's.
254
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,855
But I want this to be a place
for them to learn new things.
255
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,095
Angel also knows that now Arthur
and Dorothy are getting older,
256
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,815
it's time, whether she
likes it or not,
257
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,135
to give them some space.
258
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,495
The kids need a little bit
of independence,
259
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,935
they need to be able to go off
and not be in their bedroom,
260
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,735
and not be in the room next door,
so I can keep an eye on them.
261
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,455
They need their space
to go and do things,
262
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,855
and potentially just hang
out with friends.
263
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,575
They're going to grow into it,
aren't they? And I think...
264
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,815
I think that's the exciting thing.
265
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,215
Plans for the games room
are still evolving.
266
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,575
But outside, a new grown-up
toy has just arrived.
267
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,535
Oh-ho, yes! Oh, look at the wheels.
268
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:13,535
67 years old and the engine
may not run that well,
269
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:15,895
but Dick and Angel
couldn't resist it.
270
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,095
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da! Look at this.
Oh, wow! Look at it now!
271
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,415
Woo-woo!
272
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,935
Ta-da! Oh, he's in it already.
273
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,295
It's tiddly wee, isn't it?
Oh, it's tiddly wee!
274
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,655
Hello, hello, hello.
Oh, my gosh, do we fit in it?
275
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,495
Right, what do you think? I love it!
276
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,535
That's... "I love it" -
that's the right answer, Dorothy.
277
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,095
This was the first mass-produced
car in France.
278
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,055
It looks a bit like
a Morris Minor for me.
279
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,455
That's an amazing car.
280
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,815
What we're going to do,
because it's not running yet,
281
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,135
so we're going to push it off
and have a little play.
282
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,135
Ancl you'll be in it, reversing.
283
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,775
Trust me. You trust me, don't you?
284
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,255
As soon as they've taken
the wheel straps off...
285
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,575
Put them on the side, Dorothy.
286
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,055
Put up one on the floor for Arthur.
287
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,375
...it's time for Angel's ride
on the chateau's new
288
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,695
Renault roller-coaster.
289
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,055
I'm actually not looking
forward to this.
290
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,335
I've not driven a manual car for...
291
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,575
just put your foot in the brake.
292
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,095
Then, to roll it,
what I need for you to do is
293
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,455
to just let it roll. OK?
294
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,815
Now, we're going to ease back
a little bit more.
295
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,175
Don't move the steering wheel
at all. I'm not. just relax.
296
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,655
I'm just holding on to something.
You're tipping slightly now.
297
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,655
Oh, OK, I'm putting my foot
on the brake!
298
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,215
Keep your foot on the brake.
Oh, my gosh! I do not like this!
299
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,535
Keep your foot on the brake hard!
It's OK.
300
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,455
And we're...
301
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,895
Now keep going, off you go,
off you go, off you go.
302
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,255
Keep going, keep going.
Keep going!
303
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,935
Ladies and gentlemen,
304
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,575
my wife, the car driver.
SHE LAUGHS
305
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,735
Unfortunately, there's still
a bit of tinkering to do
306
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,655
before any fun can be had.
307
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,015
And here we go, two, three -
and up, and we're over'.!
308
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,295
Yay! Woo! Well clone.
309
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,695
Keep pushing!
310
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,975
And stop. Stop.
311
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,255
HE EXHALES
312
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,015
But work comes before play -
313
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,575
and Dick has some technical
tidying-up to do at
314
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,175
the top of the chateau.
315
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,175
That bloody basement's
a long way away. Woo!
316
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,895
Steve and Rob are finishing
off the insulating,
317
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,535
they're getting the
plasterboards up.
318
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,335
Steve Beachel, Beachy's up there
skimming off on top.
319
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,495
Ancl I get to play with electrickery.
320
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,815
Fortunately, my background
is electricity,
321
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,535
so it doesn't scare me.
322
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,535
And it's a job that he knew
he'd have to do one day.
323
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,455
We're above the tower,
in the Potagerie.
324
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,215
There's sockets, sockets, light.
325
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,255
Ancl five years ago, it seemed like
a good idea to put the cables
326
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,135
on the floor and just leave enough
slack to play with it later.
327
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,055
This is now later.
328
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,815
Which makes it a pain in the bobo.
329
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,015
Well, you don't make omelettes
without breaking eggs.
330
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,095
There's a lot of soft bits.
331
00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:19,535
It's all been wood-wormed,
332
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,055
and we'll put some
new boards in here.
333
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,935
But for that we need
to make cables disappear.
334
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,575
There's still work to do
on the floor, walls and ceiling
335
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,775
before Angel can add her
decorative touch.
336
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,975
But outside,
two trainees have requested
337
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,775
a masterclass in mechanics.
338
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,575
Daddy's rules, Daddy's workshop. OK?
339
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,135
We don't have to tell
Mummy anything.
340
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,495
So, if you bleed,
I've got a first aid kit.
341
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,855
So, what happens in the workshop
stays in the workshop.
342
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,135
Come down, are you ready?
We're going in.
343
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,775
So, first things first.
What sort of car, is it? It's a...?
344
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,735
It's a Renault, Renault?
345
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:00,935
We're looking at CV.
346
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,535
CV is horsepower. Chevaux.
347
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,895
Four horsepower.
You see there's four tubes here.
348
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,855
Look at this one -
one, two, three, four.
349
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,455
In there, there's something that
goes up and down...like a syringe,
350
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,015
and what's going to suck in is
a mixture of petrol and air.
351
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,375
Because you need air
to burn things, don't you?
352
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,415
So, it's sucking in,
then we squeeze it up.
353
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,175
So, it's a squeeze.
354
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,535
Then we have to put a spark on it.
355
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,095
Yes. Boom!
356
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:30,335
The bang makes this go down
force big and strong.
357
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:32,375
Ancl then, it goes...
358
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,375
...and it blows out the bits,
out the exhaust.
359
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,855
So, suck, squeeze...
360
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,535
Bang, blow. ..bang, blow.
361
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,775
ALL: Suck, squeeze, bang, blow.
362
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,455
Now we have to do it all
one after each other,
363
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,735
because if we all do it the same
time, there'll be one big bang!
364
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,455
Suck. Suck. Suck.
365
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,975
Squeeze. Squeeze. Squeeze.
366
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,495
Bang.
BOTH: Bang.
367
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,175
Not your turn!
368
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,535
We've got to make our
engine do this, by the way.
369
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,895
I think we need to just double check
and see if we've got a spark.
370
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,535
So, see that little gap, a little
spark should jump across that.
371
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,535
So, you two watch that for a spark.
372
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,015
Move away Arthur, come away.
373
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,175
Dorothy is in charge of
health and safety.
374
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,855
Now, I'm going to hold this
and hope I don't get electrocuted.
375
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,495
All ready? Yeah.
376
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,775
OK, Arthur, turn it on.
377
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,735
ENGINE IGNITES
378
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,895
See it? Saw it.
OK, we saw the spark.
379
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,455
Can I do it again? No!
380
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,135
Right, so, I think we have
to see if we can get this started.
381
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,615
You start it for me.
Here we go. Watch.
382
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,615
So, tell me if you see
a red light on the dashboard.
383
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,455
What's a dashboard? This...
HE LAUGHS
384
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,975
When you're ready, go.
385
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,855
ENGINE IGNITES
386
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,655
Oh! OK.
387
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,975
Ancl again, Dorothy.
388
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,295
ENGINE TURNS OVER
Let go!
389
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,455
Stop!
390
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,655
It worked!
But the carburettor is a problem.
391
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,015
Quite pleased with that.
392
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,935
Why are you happy that
there's a problem?
393
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,935
At the start, I didn't know
what the problem was.
394
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,295
I knew I had a problem,
but I didn't know what it was.
395
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,695
Now I know what it was,
I can fix it.
396
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,375
In the attic workshop,
397
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,255
Angel's now busy coming up with
some creative camouflage.
398
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:33,215
Our attic is looking like
a different attic, honestly.
399
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,855
It really is. However,
400
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:41,295
now we've moved on a little
bit with everything...
401
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,295
...there's a doorway into
Dick's thermo-store,
402
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,615
and it's a bit unfinished,
let's say.
403
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,135
So, I thought,
"I need to block that off."
404
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,655
I didn't want a door.
405
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,335
So, I had loads of this
macrame cord and the bamboo,
406
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:00,335
obviously, we've got
a lot of bamboo.
407
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:03,295
And, you know, I'm always
doing things that only take
408
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,695
a few knots, because I like
things to be, you know,
409
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,135
look quite good, but minimum effort.
410
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,695
So, this is all lark head knots,
411
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,055
and that is easiest knot
in the world.
412
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,655
But to keep it in place -
and this is quite important -
413
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,015
you need to do the knot
that I'm doing now,
414
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,455
because otherwise, they can sort of
move a little bit, which is fine
415
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,895
if you weren't going to do
the kids' initials.
416
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:31,615
So, Angel's using a horizontal
clove hitch knot to keep
417
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,535
the cords in line,
418
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,615
and a vertical one to create
Arthur and Dorothy's initials.
419
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,935
It's really quite simple,
as long as you can remember
420
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,215
to go over and under.
421
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,575
So, on this one,
I'm always having my green under,
422
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,495
and I'm literally just doing a knot.
423
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,015
Just taking it to the back,
kind of, where I want it to be.
424
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,655
Then I'm doing another knot.
425
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,335
I think that's always
the beauty of macrame,
426
00:21:58,360 --> 00:22:02,655
because it always looks quite
fun and impressive.
427
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,975
When you break it down,
anyone can do it.
428
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,415
Right, stand clear!
429
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,815
Outside, Dick and his fellow
mechanics have finished
430
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,735
theirjiggery-pokery,
and Bordeaux Rose -
431
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,775
as she's now known -
is ready to run.
432
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,535
Hold on, better stop it.
433
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,095
Stop me, not you, not you!
Me, me, me, me.
434
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,815
There we go.
435
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,615
That moved quite quickly,
then, doesn't it?
436
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,055
Oh, it's very dusty.
437
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,135
Everything needs a good wipe-down,
it's been really dusty and horrible.
438
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,295
Well clone, it is,
it has been terribly dusty.
439
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,255
Oh, yeah, well clone, family.
440
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,815
Right.
441
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,655
I think Bordeaux Rose is
ready for an outing.
442
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,895
Might be a little bit premature
if we haven't started yet.
443
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:01,695
We're on.
444
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,255
ENGINE IGNITES
445
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:15,735
Let's hear it for Bordeaux Rose.
Yes. Woohoo!
446
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,815
Right, we're off! See you, chateau!
447
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,975
Wave goodbye! Woo!
THEY CHEER
448
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,375
Shall we go to the village
and get an ice cream?
449
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:28,575
That's a good idea. Yes!
450
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,175
A special delivery
has arrived at the chateau.
451
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,535
Right, there we go.
Put it here, put it here.
452
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,495
The perfect thank you gift from
good friends who not only
453
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,415
stayed recently,
but also heard all about
454
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,175
Dick and Angel's attic ideas.
455
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,015
I'm quite excited by this.
I am, too.
456
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,935
See what Will's put on it. "DWR."
457
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:02,735
"Dick's Wonderful Railway!"
458
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,095
Is this train set for the kids,
or for you?
459
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:08,775
It's for you. No, no, it's not.
460
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,495
Let's have a look and
see what we've got.
461
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,815
Right, oh! The boxes look so cute.
462
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,495
You know they're going
to have such fun!
463
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,855
OK, I know Hornby.
Oh, my gosh, this is all...
464
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,895
Look, look, look, look.
Double-oh, Dublo. Look.
465
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,575
Oh, it's a little platform.
466
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,335
Hornby's model trains have
been around since
467
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:30,655
the beginning of the 20th century.
468
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,295
But when they launched
the smaller and more affordable
469
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,335
Dublo range in 1938...
470
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:38,015
A footbridge.
471
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,495
...by the 1950s, owning a
model railway had become rather
472
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,895
a lot of boys' - and daddies' -
favourite hobby.
473
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,775
A turntable!
I always wanted a turntable.
474
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,095
Sorry. Oh, my gosh.
475
00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:54,415
It's actually like Christmas
for you. Sh, sh.
476
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,215
I didn't know any of this.
477
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,175
You can have different
lines coming in.
478
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,255
Ancl you can...and it locks.
479
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,055
Is this your first train set?
480
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,375
Yes, it is.
481
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,975
Ohh, look at that little bad boy,
silver king.
482
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,735
Ancl are they actually proper,
like, sort of, ratio-down models?
483
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,215
Yeah, double-oh. Right.
484
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,215
Similar to like the doll's houses,
I guess. Exactly.
485
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,015
There's so much to be played with.
486
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,695
So do you think the table will
be big enough for that, Dick?
487
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,135
Or do you need to have a play?
You want a cup of tea?
488
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,135
Yes, please, a cup of tea
would be lovely.
489
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,935
This is just...look at this.
490
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,135
Up at the top of the chateau,
491
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,735
it's time for Angel to start
turning the gargantuan games room
492
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,135
into a cosy den.
493
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,455
Up here, with the high apex
of the house,
494
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:58,175
this space is huge,
and it has been such a team effort.
495
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,655
Because everything needed to
be brought up 100 stairs,
496
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,575
and it needed that manpower.
497
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,895
But honestly,
within a couple of weeks,
498
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,615
everything was plaster-boarded.
499
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,575
It has very quickly come from
somewhere that was full of
500
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:17,335
so much old junk to something that
has so much potential now
501
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:19,215
for the children.
502
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,855
Ancl the finish is just lined,
and I love it.
503
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,615
You don't need to paint that.
It's just that beautiful,
504
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,895
natural stone colour.
505
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,455
This, however, is not.
506
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:30,815
This was beastly.
507
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,695
You know, the wood is softwood -
there's nothing nice about it
508
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,015
except for it's big.
It's fantastic.
509
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,815
The kids can have a side each.
510
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,695
I mean, this cupboard has been
here for, like, 150 years.
511
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,015
Ancl it absolutely needed painting.
512
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:51,855
Now this leaves me and Dick to agree
on what'll happen to the floor.
513
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,775
Because I don't want to paint it
this blue, which we did upstairs.
514
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,095
I think I want carpet.
515
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:05,015
Ancl we haven't got carpet
anywhere in the house.
516
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,575
I just feel like it feels right.
517
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:14,375
Because it's going to add
a real softness up here.
518
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,815
Ancl the potential for this room...
519
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,095
Oh, it's just going
to be so fantastic.
520
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,735
In his workshop,
521
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,655
Dick has not only decided that the
new model railway needs setting up
522
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,975
to see if it works, but also
that he's the man for the job.
523
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,615
We've got a lot of lovely toys
to play with here.
524
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,135
HE LAUGHS
525
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,575
So, I'm doing a very simple
track to begin with.
526
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,935
Yeah. And this - whoever believed
I'm going to have a turning circle.
527
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,775
That's wonderful.
528
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,055
Really good, electrical
connection at every one.
529
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,055
There we go.
530
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,215
My clad loved Christmas.
531
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,775
What he loved most was
Christmas Eve,
532
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,295
because he got to set everything up
and play with everything
533
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:05,735
in advance of the children.
534
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,575
They had to make sure things were
assembled, put together and working.
535
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,935
You know what?
That is a very simple train track.
536
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,775
It's time to choose.
537
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,775
Who's going to be the first
to have a little go.
538
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,135
Guess what?
539
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,615
Silver King.
540
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,695
What's the old saying?
"Youth is wasted on the young."
541
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,935
I'm only doing this because
I have to test it for my children.
542
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,535
Doesn't even sound convincing.
543
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:38,775
Come on.
544
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,735
Now, that may not have seemed much,
545
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,375
but it made me very happy.
546
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,015
And backwards.
547
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,815
HE GIGGLES
548
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:54,975
Choc-choc'.!
549
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,855
Dick may be the chateau's
chief engineer...
550
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,135
Choc-choc'.!
551
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,335
...but Angel has the creativity,
552
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,655
and can currently be
found in the kitchen,
553
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,615
cooking up miniature landscapes.
554
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,335
The train set for
the children is going to be,
555
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:15,895
it's going to be joyous.
556
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,175
I'm not sure if more for Dick
or Arthur, or Dorothy yet.
557
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,375
Really, I don't. But the little
packets of official train set stuff,
558
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:25,935
they're really expensive.
559
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,975
Ancl the landscape is
a big part of the train set.
560
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,375
So, first of all,
I'm going to dry out some dirt
561
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,295
and put it through a sieve -
if I feel like it'll be really fine.
562
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,175
I do feel a little bit guilty,
563
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:44,575
because I bought this dehydrator
for Dick, for his birthday.
564
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,895
But I use it more than him.
565
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,255
But I've never put the dirt
in it from the garden.
566
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,935
OK. Now we're going
to make some extra...
567
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:02,895
...because it's all about
height and texture,
568
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,295
and different colours.
569
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,055
I mean, you know,
you go out even in our garden.
570
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,255
There's a trillion different,
like, greens and browns,
571
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,935
so I think the more
realistic it's going to be,
572
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,895
and the more fun
they're going to have.
573
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,255
Ancl actually, when you think
about what we've got available,
574
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,775
gosh, there is so much stuff!
575
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,175
This is all sawdust from
Dick's workshop.
576
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,455
And adding acrylic paint and water
will give it a more earthy look.
577
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,815
Let's see how this actually works.
578
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,655
In the world of model railways,
579
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:39,055
building landscapes is known as
scenery building - or scenicking -
580
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,255
and often very accurately
based on real locations.
581
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,695
Now this is little offcuts
from seat foam.
582
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,375
You're always cutting bits
and pieces off when you're
583
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,015
upholstering chairs and stuff.
584
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,775
Ancl we never chuck anything away.
585
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,055
So why not? Let's give it a go.
586
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,335
See what happens, eh?
587
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:04,375
I did ask my husband, because
I didn't want to get into trouble,
588
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,655
if I could use the blender
for some foam.
589
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,695
Actually, thinking about it,
590
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,695
maybe he thought I meant,
like, foamed milk or foam.
591
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,535
Oh, well, let's see what happens.
592
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,415
Right, that's not bad, actually.
593
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,775
Oh, it's like getting
toothpaste out.
594
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,895
There is quite a nice,
sort of, variation.
595
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,695
Ancl I'm going to sprinkle them.
596
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,815
We're going to have some greens
and browns, and lighter browns.
597
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,935
What this one gives me
is another texture.
598
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,615
Kind of, something that
looks a little bit more rocky.
599
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,495
Dick would be proud.
600
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,415
Outside, a momentous event
is about to happen.
601
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,375
The first fully-fitted carpet
in the chateau's history
602
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,175
is going in the games room.
603
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,575
And everyone, including Petal,
is inordinately excited.
604
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,135
Petal! It's called a carpet!
It's so exciting.
605
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,495
It's called a carpet,
and you get to sit on it!
606
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,775
As long as Sasha doesn't
see your muddy feet.
607
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,975
But as there's almost
60 square metres to cover,
608
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,415
it first needs to be cut
into two more manageable pieces.
609
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,615
Tuck it in. Tuck it in.
610
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,255
And then, it's just a simple
matter of rolling them up...
611
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:00,615
PETAL BARKS
612
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,975
...extracting
Petal from the middle...
613
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,135
No! Yay!
SHE LAUGHS
614
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,135
...and carrying them to the attic.
615
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,375
How come I'm getting the back?
616
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,095
ANGEL LAUGHS
617
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:18,695
I can't get over how much excitement
has been caused by the carpet.
618
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,495
It's been fantastic. You know what?
619
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,855
That room up there has been made
100 times more difficult by the fact
620
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,775
that it's that room up there.
621
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,295
Right, I think I can help.
622
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:29,775
Right, hold on, hold on...
623
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,055
Unfortunately, getting a heavy
carpet up there involves...
624
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:34,895
Hold on. ..six staircases.
625
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,055
...five very tight corners...
626
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,815
INDISTINCT CHATTER
627
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,975
...and almost 100 steps.
628
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,975
We're nearly there.
629
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,255
That's not funny!
630
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:04,935
That's it.
631
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,775
How many pieces?!
632
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:22,615
At the top of the chateau,
a new games room is being created.
633
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,935
I actually...
634
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,255
...think this is the comfiest
room in the house.
635
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,815
It's because of the carpets.
636
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,375
Angel's plan is for it
to have three distinct areas -
637
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,895
the main room, for playing games,
638
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,975
the turret, for sitting in.
639
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,615
And Pigeon Corner - also known
as "the uncarpeted craft corner" -
640
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,215
for more messy pursuits.
641
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,175
When it comes to the areas,
642
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,215
that area over there
is being kept over there,
643
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:51,335
it has a very different feel to it.
So, that's workshoppy. Yes.
644
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,935
Carpet, play, comfort,
and being able to paint,
645
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,855
get glue on the floor, etc.
646
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,535
But I'm twitching
because it's beige,
647
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,735
so let's get some furniture in
and stop the twitching.
648
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,255
Let's go. Let's get
something up here first.
649
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,495
Mind the step, Dick.
650
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,975
Right, should we leave this over
here for the minute, if we're...?
651
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,415
You don't know where it's going.
Yeah.
652
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,455
The beauty about all
this sort of thing,
653
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,575
is wherever we put it,
I know it'll never end up.
654
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,855
It's finding zones, isn't it?
655
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,735
Angel might still be working
out what goes where...
656
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,295
I think this can be
the hockey table zone.
657
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,615
Using that? Yeah.
658
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,415
...but she's hoping Dick can turn
the doors from the old cupboard
659
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:42,975
into modern workbenches.
660
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:49,015
I would love there to be a little
semicircle cut out of it,
661
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,975
like my dad's workbench.
662
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,335
You've just got this area
around you. I'll have a look.
663
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,095
The only thing is, it's a door.
It's got all the joints in it.
664
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,055
I know that's, why I don't
know if it's possible.
665
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,815
Let's see what the doors are like.
666
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,175
You can have anything,
but not everything.
667
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,535
Yes, you can have that.
All right, let's have a look.
668
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:13,215
Angel's father, Papi Steve,
may be retired,
669
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:15,735
but he still uses the beloved
jeweller's bench that
670
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,375
he's owned for over 50 years.
671
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,335
And, as it's designed
for detailed work,
672
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,535
the curved shape's perfect
for hobbies and crafts.
673
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,815
All Dick has to do is make
one each for the kids.
674
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:32,615
Right, the workbench is a door.
675
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,095
Ancl that's going to have legs on it.
676
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,495
It's going to have a piece
of wood against the wall.
677
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,855
So, that's the basis of it,
but instead of it being
678
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,895
a plain workbench,
Angela's drawn the curve -
679
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,255
and the idea is you put a little,
sort of, piece of material
680
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,215
underneath it, so when the children
are working with little fine bits,
681
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:52,575
anything drops gets caught
in the material.
682
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,935
It's quite a simple
and a nice idea.
683
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,615
Doors for workbenches aren't
necessarily the best thing
684
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,015
in the world, because,
apart from anything else,
685
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,695
the way they're actually made,
you don't want to weaken them.
686
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:07,095
Ancl to give it some integrity,
I've put a piece of thin ply
687
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,215
underneath it, so it's
a door supported by ply.
688
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:12,535
Just like Angel's father,
689
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,655
Dick treats his workbench
like an old friend.
690
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,215
This whole concept here,
all these little saw marks,
691
00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:22,255
all these screws that have been
drilled through and into it,
692
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,175
each one of those holes
means something. That's history.
693
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,495
Just shows that it's loved.
694
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,335
A thought that Dick's hoping
Arthur and Dorothy will continue.
695
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,335
There'll be a little bit
of paint on there from
696
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,095
the first bit of painting they do.
697
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,415
There'll be a cut from
the first time they saw things.
698
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,655
History, isn't it?
699
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,335
There you go.
700
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:02,895
The door of the cupboard that was
there when we arrived, is now...
701
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,335
...a workbench.
702
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,335
Up in the new games room,
703
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,015
the old toys that were once hidden
in dark, dusty corners
704
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,375
are now being given pride of place.
705
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:30,015
We found this in the attic,
706
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,015
quite near the train set.
707
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,975
So, I think, once upon a time,
they lived together.
708
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,095
Ancl it sends your mind boggling,
doesn't it?
709
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,455
Because you think,
we found an old train set,
710
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,055
we found this, and...
711
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,095
They had loads of kids,
the Baglioni's were a big, big,
712
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,215
big family, and their cousins
and their uncles, and everybody
713
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:53,935
would've been here.
714
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,495
Ancl I just think, did that
happen up in in the attic?
715
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,495
Because, you know, we found
a billiard table up here.
716
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,455
Or did they just not want to
throw any history away?
717
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,615
I'm looking forward to telling
the kids that, you know,
718
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,215
this is part of the history,
this is the old -
719
00:39:13,240 --> 00:39:16,935
and they'll be doing the new,
doing their own stuff.
720
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,775
Ancl honestly, I cannot wait to start
doing stuff like this with the kids.
721
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,055
I think Dick is quite
excited by it, too.
722
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,295
This does feel a bit weird,
sort of, dressing the
723
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,855
train set table with scenery.
724
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:44,735
Well, pots of sand and
dyed sawdust, and foam.
725
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,495
But it's here for the kids
to take it to the next level.
726
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,335
I think they'll be
really happy with this,
727
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,495
because honestly,
this is the start.
728
00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:02,015
As well as toys both old and new,
729
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,975
Angel has ensured
the chateau's past lives on,
730
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,215
no matter how inconsequential.
731
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:13,095
I just didn't think that
six pieces of, sort of, paper,
732
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:17,975
postcards, and old cardboard
would make me so happy here.
733
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,375
You know, the fact that
we found an old playing card
734
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,335
makes it feel like we've clone the
right thing with this room.
735
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,815
In Craft Corner,
736
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,655
now the home-made jeweller's
benches have been fitted,
737
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,015
and the cloths for catching
tiny bits and pieces attached,
738
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,495
the room's ready for even
the most intricate of ideas.
739
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,975
I actually shouldn't feel
like this about a cupboard door
740
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,095
and a couple of shammies, but I do!
741
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,295
Because they're just little
versions of what my Dad had,
742
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,535
and what I just remember as a child.
743
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,375
What once was used to store cheese,
744
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,655
now being used
to hold their tools.
745
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,175
The kids are going to be, honestly,
made up that they've got glue guns.
746
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,575
Ancl they won't know that
this is a cheese safe
747
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,455
that we found here in this room,
748
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,775
in this area, actually.
749
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:25,135
And, you know, those little gems
remind us of the Baglionis.
750
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,015
And 'R's 'gust...
751
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,735
It's lovely, I don't ever want
to forget that history.
752
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,175
Ancl I guess, as we make
our history, as well,
753
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,895
you can only hope that someone,
754
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,335
be your future generations,
kind of, preserves that.
755
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,415
There is, though, still space
for Dick and Angel's favourite
756
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,455
piece of treasure -
at least in toy terms.
757
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:47,775
There you go.
758
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,455
You do know that this can't be
incorporated on to this, don't you?
759
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,775
That's lovely.
Go on, you do the hon ours.
760
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:57,615
That's just made me really happy.
761
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,535
Careful of my balls.
762
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,455
Art's going to love those.
763
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,095
Right, there you go.
Oh, that's lo...
764
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,415
That's nice, isn't it?
765
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,975
The Baglionis' toy train may have
inspired their latest acquisition,
766
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,575
but as far as Dick's concerned,
767
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,655
there's been an equine explosion.
768
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:20,055
Why are you putting horses here
at all? It's for Dorothy?
769
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,055
You've just answered it, yeah.
I know Dorothy is...
770
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,895
One, two, three, four...here.
771
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,855
Yeah. There's more. Five.
772
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,135
There's more, this, look. Stable.
773
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,535
I don't know, but look.
774
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,895
It's the name of the ponies!
Gladiator.
775
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,255
We actually, I don't know,
I think it's part of
776
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,255
what they what they played on.
But it...
777
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,615
Dorothy will love it,
Dorothy will love it.
778
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,335
But before Dorothy or
Arthur can see it,
779
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,175
there's just one more job to do.
780
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,255
I need you, Mr Straw bridge,
take that side.
781
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,015
You're taking it to new levels.
782
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,855
Huh? Pink and...
783
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:04,415
That's Dick.
784
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,295
Dick and Angel. Right, OK.
785
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:10,695
Thank you very much.
786
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,615
And so, what was once a place
of detritus, dirt, and dust...
787
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:25,255
...is now a room filled with
light and possibility.
788
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,935
I think it's incredible.
789
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,695
The Baglionis' old games
and toys sitting side-by-side
790
00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:37,295
with the Strawbridges'.
791
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,695
Everything's set up, and it doesn't
have to be put away and ripped up.
792
00:43:40,720 --> 00:43:43,375
They can play chess over
a period of weeks.
793
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,215
They can play fives
over a period of time.
794
00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:50,255
I think it's stunning.
795
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,095
For Dick and Angel,
796
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,895
the chateau's new games room is
where anything is possible
797
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,535
and the imagination can run free.
798
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,415
Each of the areas specifically
designed for its purpose -
799
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,335
whether crafting...
800
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:07,895
...competing...
801
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,215
...or just contemplating.
802
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,015
There's a place for everyone,
803
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,455
whatever their age.
804
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:30,815
I know that we want the kids
to go and explore the world.
805
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:35,895
But I want them to have
such beautiful memories here
806
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,335
that they actually always
want to come home.
807
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,935
Ancl they will. They will.
This is amazing.
808
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,375
In fact, let's start,
let's go get them.
809
00:44:45,720 --> 00:44:46,975
KIDS SHOUT
810
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,055
Oh, my gosh! Come on.
811
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,695
Oh, my gosh!
812
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,975
I love this part.
813
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,655
I can stand up here, watch me.
814
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:02,855
You watching? Yeah.
815
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,335
It goes! Yes!
816
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,255
But hold on, go
and check out your workshop.
817
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:19,455
Let's go, Mummy.
818
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,375
Where have you seen one
of these before?
819
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:24,895
BOTH: In Grandad's workshop!
820
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,175
Saw goes like this.
821
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:47,335
They are loving it,
honestly, I just...
822
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,735
Dorothy has just glued her
first little bead onto the fan.
823
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,735
She's made it pretty already.
She's making it pretty.
824
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,615
Right, come on, we'll play
with choo-choo trains, you and me.
825
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,695
You can make the little noises
for me. Choo-choo.
826
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:02,495
SHE LAUGHS
827
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:03,495
Chou-choc.
828
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,455
Next time...
829
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,935
...the last word in weddings.
830
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:16,295
We officially have
the best job in the world.
831
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,055
On the trail for truffles.
832
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,375
Ooh, look, she's digging,
she's digging!
833
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,095
Truffle energy.
834
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,295
And extraordinary extensions.
835
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:26,575
You know what?
836
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,295
That is the first sunrise with
our Winter Garden. Oh!
837
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:36,055
