Restoring a Breathtaking 19th-century Chateau | Escape to the Chateau

[@Channel4Homes]

Would you like to visit a chateau? Watch the series on All 4: bit.ly/2Tsz0uG

[@christian66ca]

i think perhaps you should apologize on your hands and knees in front of the Petherick family on air and then give Michael a show of his own.

[@pebblesmiller9026]

On principle I would NEVER wish to visit this place. Its being filled with tat .... and the greed of the owners is shocking. Huge fees for weddings that have obviously had the benefits of being advertised for free by Ch 4

surprisingly, the diamond collage of wall paper looks very nice, and really gives the turret a nice, comfortable home-y feel

I watched this program with my grandma while she was on her deathbed, helps with greif to revisit it again. Can we also appreciate how even though they are cheap sometimes (to not break their budget, no shade at all) they never skimp out on paying the people that work for them a fair amount of money.

[@DrAnne-mc8er]

Why not get the woke executives at Channel 4 to buy you one Alan? -Richard and Angela- (sorry), _"Dick"_ and _"Angel"_ seem happy with that arrangement! With respect Alan, you seem incredibly naive. I don't know if that naivety is in relation to this programme specifically, or about how TV programmes are made in general? You seem to think for example, that Mr and Mrs Strawbridge actually carry out work on the Chateau with their own bare hands? And that they bought the place with their own money? Are you genuinely not aware that Channel 4 (currently) employ 49 people to get this show made? And I don't just mean lighting and sound crews, camera operatives, producers, directors, runners, gaffers etc. For example, Channel 4 additionally employs anywhere between 18 and 22 locals to do all the real, i.e. the physical work; carpenters, stonemasons, electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, painters and decorators, ground staff, security staff, and so on. The Strawbridges are simply the presenters of the show, the Nick Knowleses of the programme. It's incredibly cheap TV to make Alan. Particularly when you factor in that Channel 4 charges tourists around £120 for a tour of the property, and charge upwards of an incredible £35,000 for couples to use the chateau as their wedding venue. Not bad for a chateau Channel 4 originally bought for the grand sum of £287,000. Television's a very lucrative business Alan. I know... I've worked in it for decades!

[@dtb4394]

Speaking of Chateaus, there was a drama / suspense / horror type film I once saw, regarding a Chateau. Cannot for the life of me remember the name of it. All I remember is it involved a Chateau with circular lawn and gravel outside, I think? With fountain, might have been in middle of lawn? A large wall surrounded the Chateau with a gap for vehicular access and a lane just outside the wall. Across from the lane and Chateau, there was a huge Maze with high solid hedges. Something very dangerous and sinister lurked in the Maze. Only coming out at nightfall. The residents dog used to always be barking while looking at the Maze, from the forecourt area just outside the front doors. In the end the resident (s) had to run up to the attic room and lock themselves in to try to remain safe. For me, it was a real nail biter of a film. I have searched websites for months to try to locate the film but no joy so far. If anyone knows about it or has it or has watched it I would be grateful for a heads up as to what it was called please?
