[@claritadeluna6609]

Loved to see how much alike Luke is to his father when he was young; very hard to tell them apart! Very enjoyable video.

[@AvaT42]

I thought that too, how much Luke looks lime his dad!

[@HappyLife693]

I did not see the strong resemblance until this video.

[@reneallison2336]

It was so sweet to see the resemblance. I loved how you showed the TV program instead of just mentioning it.

[@xongkkerije]

The resemlence to his father is unmistakable!

[@pathoward5721]

Cool 😎

[@MeMe-nw9mq]

I always love it when Luke’s Mom or Dad make the occasional appearance on Mapperton Live. It’s just wonderful when they talk of things of the past and they are a veritable treasure trove of information about the estate. I pray that they both are in good health and are here to share their knowledge with us for many more years to come. ❤️

[@kmreed295]

The Earl was an incredibly handsome young man and Luke looks just like him. I’d love see more photos of the Earl and Countess when they were young and with their kids. The photog pics are outstanding as well- great show guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@iyone7]

Wow! That photographer is brilliant. Such luck to have him. Ben and Chris make a great comedy act!

[@rebeccaanderson5191]

Luke and Nestor look soooo much like the Earl it's time travel looking from one to the other.

[@debeslinger4641]

Loved the tv appearance by the Earl of Sandwich. Luke looks so much like his Dad! Both are very handsome. Thanks for sharing your fascinating life with us.

[@AnnieWarbux]

Riight?! Exactly like his Father! I remember watching this show as a little kid, in the 70s. It was the show that Dicaprio's character, Frank Abignail, appeared on, in Catch Me if You Can.

[@salanietabanuve5448]

Actually the younger Earl looks just like Nester.

[@kimberlyenglehardt5770]

Wow Luke looks like his dad. His father was so lovely in the viewing.

[@Sirshackleton]

Your Dad’s reaction to hearing that you found footage of him on the game show is hilarious! Oh No!😂😂😂

[@sherieffiong853]

❤

[@leahmarieezra877]

Love this entire episode. Luke and his father are twins, and it was wonderful to see the game show. And the adventures of Ben and Chris are unexplainably addictive. They are just doing these normal (albeit interesting) tasks, but I end up happily watching all of it. It’s so peaceful and fun. Then, the photo shoot. So sweet and lovely. Perfect episode. 🥰

[@findingbeautyinthepain8965]

At one point I thought, “I can’t believe I’m laughing and enjoying myself watching two guys install posts,” lol. It makes me so happy though, because I know if it’s enjoyable to watch second hand, it must be really enjoyable work for Chris and Ben! It’s so important to love your work and work environment. 😊

[@leahmarieezra877]

@@findingbeautyinthepain8965 Yes!

[@karmenzita63]

How wonderful to see the younger version of the Earl. As always, really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@ruthmiller8919]

I just love how much in love Luke and Julie are

[@karenryder6317]

Photographer: "Look at Julie." Luke: "That makes me smile." After 20 years!

[@SuperTweezy5]

What an absolute treat to see the Earl on the game show!!!

[@magicskyway]

Oh my gosh, Luke your dad is a legit 64-65 New York World's Fair LEGEND. Of COURSE the heir of the Earl of Sandwich had to open the 7Up Sandwich Garden there. He was also great on the show - I would have picked him because he showed actual knowledge of real legislation.

[@LiaMarrazzo]

Oh my goodness, Luke you and your father could almost be twins!! I liked the photos with the couch in them. My favorite was the one with Julie on the floor next to the couch and both of you looking at each other smiling. Priceless!!

[@risalangdon9883]

How nice for your father to have that opportunity to look back in time. I am sure that was a special or unique memory for him. And ooohhhh as we age, it is nice to reflect back on times in our lives.

[@jocelynebordage9907]

OMG Luke is the spitting image of his father

[@pammiedoodle8693]

Seeing the footage of your father as a young man was just amazing. You and your father look so much alike😊 I loved the photo shoot of you and Julie also. It’s incredible how you can be placed in such seemingly awkward poses but the pictures look so genuine and lovely🥰 Great video! Thanks for sharing and God Bless🙏

[@nanabutner]

I was also at the NEW YORK WRLD’s Fair in 1964 in June of that year. I was thirteen at that time. I was also a frequent watcher of program TO TELL THE TRUTH. Thank you very much for bringing back those memories! LOVE watching your programs and especially enjoy episodes about the beavers.

[@karenryder6317]

I just realized I'm the same age as the current Earl and I was at the fair--maybe even on the same day!

[@nanabutner]

@@karenryder6317 Weird feeling, isn’t it? Just think of all the things that have happened in our lifetime. Do you remember just when we got “OLD”, because I don’t?

[@chriscraver4070]

I am seventy years old and watched this show all the time. Kitty was one smart cookie. I also went to the worlds fair in NY. I loved the visit. Beautiful memories. Your dad was so handsome just like you. Much love to your whole family ❤

[@karenryder6317]

And the Earl was a smart cookie too, to think so fast on his feet. He knew immediately he had to lie or else the whole game would be up.

[@marybeth4002]

Can't pick just one photo!! I love them all but my fave is of both Luke and Julie together on the stairs. Great photographer making them feel comfortable and casual.

[@sharronandrews7675]

To tell the truth was on in America for many years! It was such fun to see your dad on the show. I also remember going to the Worlds Fair in New York. It was a great adventure! I’m sure your dad felt that too!😊

[@ffanel6201]

I’m in my mid seventies and watched that show all the time… Loved seeing Luke’s Dad…they look so much alike…I went to NY worlds fair too…live in Southern New Jersey. …I thoroughly, enjoy your adventures and other activities…❤️

[@thomasoates5294]

Luke and his father are so much alike. But what a great story about the game story.

[@nativetexson]

Fun story lines; Ben & Chris adventure!, To Tell the Truth, and the photo shoot.

[@lurlenejones456]

You can tell Graham enjoys not only photography, but also people.

[@MsSherryjh]

Love your dad. He can't believe his own ingenuity. Bravo, Dad!

[@dianelipson5420]

Gee it’s so much fun to watch you progress with your projects, and to share the family history with you. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@karleinegraham446]

Thanks for showing your Dad on the " To tell the truth" program and taking some of us down memory lane. I migrated to USA from Jamaica in 1969 and I liked that program very much. Ms Kitty Carlisle was a wonderful TV personality.

[@patriciahadley2374]

It was nice to see Luke's father when he was so young, but it would be equally nice to see a video of Luke's mother when she was a young woman. This was an interesting episode and compliments to the photographer. He was excellent.

[@elisabeth6108]

The resemblance between the young John and Luke is striking! Although I'm sure Luke doesn't lie on national TV... And the Chris and Ben show is LOL. Watching Grahame in action was fascinating and he got so many great shots.

[@sagelavender3281]

Oh, your father was such a handsome young man, and so is Luke. I loved watching, the green pastures of Mapperton, the young man learning about fencing was something important. And the photos’ sessions as well. Great video.❤

[@tamaraatkinson940]

Great video! Loved the fence fixing bit. Isn’t it amazing how a true professional photographer can tell you to tilt your head just a bit and get the perfect shot?

[@mimaroo1431]

Lol!! Left handed hammer!! Those two really had me cracking up! Love that blast from the Earl's past. Luke, you sure do look a lot like your dad. Love all the pictures. It's hard to say which one is the best. I really liked those first ones of you both though.

[@donnabaardsen5372]

Luke and his father look exactly alike. Delightful to watch this 1960s show. You two look fabulous in the photos.

[@debralabarge614]

I love your imaginative way of using today’s modern inventions to save and protect the past

[@donnaparks5815]

First, love this video! Photographer did a genius move having Luke look at Julie, his expression then was my favorite, more relaxed.

[@Ellierua]

They look so alike, when they are chatting away... So lovely to see..

[@eringemini7091]

That was awesome to see Luke's Dad on "To Tell The Truth"( and find out he had to lie, lol)!☺btw, 🐖 🐷 🐗Pigs are REALLY smart & very tricky. They may prove to be more difficult to enclose than your 🦫🦫!😊

[@davidr6338]

I really enjoyed the segment with Grahame. Watching how he set up the shot then seeing the actual photo was brilliant. Watching a professional work was great to watch.

[@Marilinaa]

The Young Earl and Nestor look so much alike. Fun seeing the gameshow. Great photos of you as a couple. Julie, you are very photogenic.

[@karenryder6317]

I see Luke in his father but I don't see his father in Nestor--I see Julie. I wish I knew where Nestor got his name,

[@sandrabergquist1684]

Very lovely - the video was quiet, recalling good memories and the photos very very nice. Luke and his father are indeed very similar in looks, and very likely, demeanor.

[@NancyBiker]

Luke is the spitting image of his dad. I especially love the photo with Luke on the couch and Julie on the floor.

[@morganalori]

lol, so many giggles. Chris learning to set poles and staples. the gameshow was lovely to see. Luke looks so much like his father. Thanks for sharing the fun

[@williamkunkel8293]

Betty here..... Love this episode, all three segments. I'm interested to see what the pigs look like and your white cattle are beautiful. Photoshoot was awesome and the game show brought back memories of watching that program as a child. Best wishes from Missouri!!

[@evawohl2572]

Always a joy to be at Mapperton...want to visit so badly. Am adding Mapperton to my bucket list. Can't wait to see the pigs!!!

[@dalemoore8582]

What a delightful episode. Luke your dad was very handsome and you look just like him. Kitty Carlise was an American socialite. She knew her aristocrats!!!

[@rachel9105]

Yay! Thanks for listening to the video idea! So fun to see the reaction! 🎉

[@gerdabreig9689]

Stunning photos of two beautiful people in a beautiful house❤ Really enjoyed this video, and what a very handsome young John Montague.

[@ibuguru]

Luke now & his father back in the 60s could pass for twins. Amazing how much they look alike!

[@pamelacrowell2007]

Luke, you look just like your dad when he was younger!!! So wonderful!

[@thespiritualadvocate]

Luke and Dad totally precious! Love Lukes parents on with Julie or him, special episodes!!🎉

[@jameshaddan8538]

OMG - definitely some strong Montagu genes running in that family!

[@groovin2mytune285]

That was fun! I loved all of it! Thank you for sharing!

[@pal7252]

Loved all the pics. They came out awesome. 🥰 The game show was great. Plus those two guys, your game keeper and camera guy had me in stitches. 😄

[@Kris1964]

Great to see your Dad on the show … what a handsome ladl

[@HappyLife693]

Without a doubt, the picture of the two on the landing of the stairs is the best shot. The pictures of Julie in the muniment room and the first single picture of Julie were nice as well. Luke is handsome, and yet the photographer only captured one shot that highlights his good looks. That is the one on the stairs with Julie that I mentioned first. The photographer was so close on shooting fantastic shots, but came up short. Also, Julie has a lovely royal blue silky dress that she wore on a video last year. That would be a much better outfit for a formal shoot. Luke would not have had to match her, as long as the pictures were framed from the waist. Just some thoughts from an old photographer.

[@sherieffiong853]

❤

[@lurlenejones456]

Every part of this whole episode is engaging and happy-making.

[@ritawilkinson401]

It is so hard to pick a favorite of you both as all the photos are beautiful of you two.

[@andreajanssen9993]

Thank you for another great episode of Mapperton live. I do enjoy it every time. Greetings from Frankfurt Germany Aja

[@MappertonLive]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@lurlenejones456]

Poise, intelligence, humility, integrity, gentility.

[@lisalowery4849]

You were so dashing! I LOVED this video. So fun!!!

[@Snoddypossie]

What wonderful photo portraits. Stately yet natural. Perfection. Great photographer.

[@michaeldriebeekvanderven]

Ben and Chris are fantastically entertaining 😂 Love them! 🤩 Sending you warm greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@MappertonLive]

Thanks so much!!

[@rhondamartin3575]

Oh, I love this!!!!!Great job on the fence! Wonderful footage of the gameshow! The Earl did terrific! Amazing photos! I love the naturalness of them!

[@VanessaABamback]

Wow! You could pass as twins! Love your videos and getting to know your family! Thank you for sharing!

[@chrisb7558]

i love the ben and chris together and seeing chris not know how to do things was so funny

[@janmitchell641]

The pose with both of you looking at each other.👍🏽👍🏽 Your photographer is fantastic! He really knows how to capture your personalities and naturalness, and how to make the best use of the background spaces. Gorgeous photos!

[@AvaT42]

I loved the Earl on that game show! He was right to not tell Kitty Carlisle yes, she was cheating doing that when she already knew. I love all the pics but the two of you on the sofa I really liked.

[@risalangdon9883]

I really liked the one of the two of you together on the stairs with that very large portrait behind you. That one was quite powerful.

[@sherieffiong853]

❤

[@cathyann1601]

I like all of the poses. I am an amateur photographer - of flowers - and really appreciate the skill of this pro, posing each of you "just so" in each shot for a well-composed photo that looks natural too. Each shot you show on here is a winner, IMO.🥰👍👍👍

[@leslieward9531]

This has to be one of my favorite episodes of Mapperton Live! Enjoyed every bit of content so much - from beginning to end. Well done. ❤

[@patriceogrady9763]

Love all the photos! You both are so photogenic! Beautiful!

[@MappertonLive]

Thank you so much!

[@brigitteryan2863]

Wow, you look so much like your father when he was younger.

[@jeanthobaben]

Can't believe how much you (and your youngest son) look like your younger Dad.Tithe Barn - That was a good lesson. I always assumed the 10% went to the manor. I'm glad to hear it went "down" the chain to support the community.

[@britzel71]

Great video. Luke and his Father are twins,it's wonderful seeing. The Boyd ate hysterical 🤣

[@PLuMUK54]

Your pose would make a fabulous painted double portrait.

[@jokeith1722]

Loved the picture of you two looking at each other from couch. I also like the stairs photo as well.😍

[@tc7486]

The very first shot was my favorite! But they were all good. And thank you for letting us see all the shots! 😊

[@andagain21]

This was a great episode from beginning to end. And all the photos came out really nice! You two look really good!

[@wendy-moore]

Our neighbor has some high-tech fencing, but we still have to go down and help herd their pigs back in - more frequently than you'd think!!! . I will definitely keep an eye out for your future escapades with your new pigs. They are heavy to move/herd, they have a mind of their own, they talk back and they bite! ... the bowl of cat food seemed to help.

[@annettewalter2273]

Looking forward to meeting the pigs. The breed sounds intriguing. Enjoyed the vintage tv footage.

[@donnaparks5815]

I am very excited for the schedule for Historical House tours. Especially, for ghost stories.

[@lindastorr1674]

Wow what a picture what a photograph,!! who wouldn't mind sitting for an expert,everyone beautiful.

[@donnayoung5133]

Greetings from Minnesota!😀 Also, your pics from the excellent photographer are wonderful, especially the ones by your piano. Well done!

[@MizQue]

Luke looks just like his father!

[@tambracarswell9896]

I love hearing the Earls stories and tales!

[@americaneclectic]

Both of you are very photogenic!!

[@annagibson4626]

Wow that photo shoot was great. So many wonderful shots.

[@rebeccaanderson5191]

Already stunned by seeing a very young Luke in his father, I remember watching To Tell The Truth and probably saw this episode and swooned-- always swooned over English lads. I was 13 and just started on my Beatles fandom. I loved comedic actress Peggy Cass and believe she was in Mame on Broadway as the personal assistant. Tom Poston was a household name and Kitty Carlisle too.

[@karenryder6317]

Who was the other guy on the panel. I don't recognize him and I'm 80.

[@rebeccaanderson5191]

@karen ryder There's Tom Poston and the other fellow looks familiar but his name escapes me.

[@jampuppy]

Oh my goodness all of those portraits are stunning! I couldn’t choose a favourite!

[@donnapecoraro3126]

what a great great episode! So funny when Luke commented how handsome his father was, they look exactly alike. I remember that game show well! what a walk down memory lane. I of course attended the 1964 Worlds Fair, it was in my town. the photographer was so excellent, you both looked so regal!

[@candyboyer]

I always knew Luke looked like his dad, but wow -- nearly identical! What a fun find. Thanks for sharing.

[@MappertonLive]

Thanks for watching!

[@EEN63]

Loved seeing “To Tell the Truth” footage! Luke and his dad look so much alike... very handsome! My favorite photo was with the two of you together where Julie was sitting cross leg on the floor. It felt like it was a real moment captured instead of so posed. For more of a posed shot, I like Julie sitting on the arm of the sofa as her smile is warm and feels genuine. And for Luke posed, I prefer the doorway shot!

[@eddie97504]

Wonderful episode. Ben and Chris make a great comedy duo and I loved the game show footage. It would be nice to know more about the Earl and Countess. What we’ve learned about them so far is fascinating . Grahame is a true professional. Great photos, all, but the staircase photo of the two of you is perfect.

[@luciaroslingshaw2112]

Fun to see the young men doing the fence. Very entertaining! More of them.... por favor.

[@lisainnewzealand8461]

Chris, I managed to prep my cup and tea and put the jug on while you sorted the farm post. xo

[@Smilealot62]

And the photographs pictures were fabulous too!

[@lenorawestwoodson5710]

Excellent photos! You two are a very attractive couple.

[@AnnieWarbux]

That was Great Fun!😊

[@kcstill3108]

To Tell The Truth!!! That is so cute!! And I love the Earl’s ethics and sense of fair play not to give Kitty Carlisle a truthful answer! I love your parents!!
