MASTER OF THE HOUSE - A Day At The Vyne (30 minute version)

MASTER OF THE HOUSE - A Day At The Vyne
A new, innovative and interactive history
programme from Honalee Media that makes
a present of the past, engaging viewers with
history in a fun, accessible and hands-on way.
"The past is one of the few things that unites us all
and there are countless stately homes, mansions
and castles on our doorsteps that tell the story of
all our heritage... but if you've been put off history
by dusty museums and dry academia then
Master Of The House is for you!
The programme visits the National Trust's historic
Vyne Estate, where presenter Martin Parsons
knows that he will either win the right to spend his
time living, sleeping, eating and breathing the role
of Master Of The House... or instead could end up
not as 'Sir' but as servant!
The show begins with a timed mission:
Martin has just one hour to tour the grounds and
glean as much information as possible, learning
about the history and highlights, characters and
conservation of somewhere that has welcomed
Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and Sir Walter Raleigh,
during its long and fascinating past.
Time is up! What will be Martin's fate?
To find out, he uses his new-found knowledge
to answer a series of quick-fire questions put
to him by the current Master Of The House...
Whether Martin becomes Master or
manservant depends on the quiz results:
he could end up dressed in the finery of the
Lord of the Manor and being waited on
hand & foot... or mucking out the chickens and
working in the kitchen! Will he be Lord or lackey?
The Master Of The House will decide!
Whatever lies in store, join Martin Parsons on an
entertaining journey discovering history, plus see
how you'd fare if you took up the challenge to
become the Master Of The House!"
