Blenheim. Episode 2. Needs must - the Duke balances conservation costs with commercial opportunity.

Five-part 'fly-on-the wall' documentary series about Blenheim Palace under the stewardship of John Spencer-Churchill, the 11th Duke of Marlborough. Filmed in 2007, the series goes behind-the-scenes of one of the world's most famous palaces - birthplace of the Duke's godfather Sir Winston Churchill and monument to an historic British victory in over the French in 1704. Today, Blenheim is a popular visitor attraction, a UN World Heritage Site and home to the 12th Duke, following the death of his father in 2014.

I’m grateful I was there in the 70s, when things weren’t quite so dire.

Videos don't do Blenheim justice. Its scale is mind blowing. The grounds are superb. I love the cascade
