Original subtitles

In the heart of the French countryside,

a magnificent chateau stood uncared for and abandoned.

Then, six years ago, everything changed...

Look at that!

...when an intrepid British couple...

Turn. Turn, turn, turn.

Wow.

...unlocked it front door...

Everything is gorgeous!

...fell in love with its grandeur,

and embarked on an adventure.

It's so incredibly important to bring it back to life.

Since they moved in, engineer Dick Strawbridge...

...and his wife, designer Angel...

...have transformed almost all 45 rooms,

including four sumptuous guest suites

for their wedding and events business.

But despite their hard work, their dream often resembled a nightmare.

You should not be able to see the sky out of your roof.

Behind every romantic story is the reality.

This year, life at the chateau has been rather different.

I'm on Heron Island!

With no weddings and events to house...

I think we need a roof garden up here.

O-level mathematics from 1975.

...they can tackle even bigger projects than ever.

This, I'm thinking, is a big swimming pool.

I've got a headache.

And there are lots of surprises in store...

THEY SCREAM

Come on, let's have a little look. Will it open?

...as the chateau reveals more secrets.

I love it. It's so me.

It's time to find out what happens next

in this 21st-century French fairy tale.

I think this is a good reason to buy a horse.

ANGEL LAUGHS

Come on, let's go! Let's go and see Daddy.

This year at the chateau, endlessly long, hot summer days have provided

a cornucopia of fresh fruit and vegetables in the walled garden.

Oh, look at that! That is absolutely so juicy.

They're not bad, are they?

That was a slightly soft one.

I just had the sweetest one and then got relaxed

and had the tangiest one that is still making my...

...back of my throat clench up.

Once feeding the chateau's previous owners,

the Baglioni family, now the Strawbridges

reap the garden's rewards.

I'm going to cut a little bit of this rainbow chard for dinner

tonight. SINGSONG: Rainbow chard! Mwah, mwah, mwah.

These leeks are nearly ready as well. They look amazing.

See, those are massive, look? They smell, I can't tell you,

absolutely amazing. It's all tomato plants, isn't it? It's just amazing.

Dorothy, I need you to get up. See all the little grapes?

See all these? All these things around here?

Those are Muscat grapes.

You planted them with me. A grape.

OK.

Well, in that case, this is all your work, nothing to do with Daddy.

Yeah. Nothing to do with Daddy planting outside so it grows.

Dorothy, can you reach and snip that one off? Go on. Away you go.

Snip it. Oh, yeah! Get it in there. Well done.

Will Daddy go for that one of there? Look, I'm up and in.

OK?

Arthur, I'm passing them. Pass them along. They look lovely.

While Dick helps with the harvest for the 2020

Chateau de la Motte Dorothee...

Oh, they are golden!

...Angel grabs a little extra for later.

There you go, baby. Thank you. Been my absolute fantastic helper.

That, with a bit of salt, olive oil and maybe

a bit of our home grown basil and a baguette is supper tonight.

Wow. Come on, dog!

If we got a nice seat in there, that could be a sauna.

A sauna.

Summer is normally the chateau's busiest

time of the year, buzzing with weddings and events.

A 150-year-old chateau demands upkeep on a grand scale.

So, this year, without their usual guests, Dick and Angel have

had time to draw up a super-sized to-do list.

But, to realise it, Dick needs a bigger workshop,

and he's decided to transform this abandoned outbuilding

back into a productive 34 square metre workshop.

Right...

Oh, it's big.

It's a good size workshop, yeah?

But think of Mademoiselle Daisy... Mm-hm?

...because that's probably the biggest thing I want to work on.

We could put her nose there, she comes all the way back to here, yeah?

And I have to be able to work in the winter inside.

What areas are you going to use? All of it.

Because if you're going to drive cars in,

are you going to have a big middle island

so you can put things on, or...?

No, genuinely... We don't have islands. We don't have islands. OK.

What I'm going to do, that wall will have stuff,

benches along it, little bit of space.

But it has to be enough space to get down the side of it.

On this side, this is wide enough to have something here. Yeah.

A lathe or something like that.

But I have to really get my head around that,

because I don't intend to spend much money on the infrastructure.

It'lljust be pallets and bits and pieces

and dead things we've got around the place.

And what I would like to do is make sure that upstairs is emptied. OK.

You haven't really had a look up there, have you? No, I haven't.

This is all perfectly safe. OK. Is it? Yes. It does not look it.

This is quite exciting.

Five years ago, it was the attic on the top floor of the chateau

that gave up its secrets to Angel. One, two, three... Wow!

Now, this looks like wallpaper.

But here in the outbuilding,

are there still more surprises to be shared?

Wow.

It's obviously where they just dumped all the rubbish.

Dick may just see piles of junk abandoned

by the Baglionis, but to Angel, it's a room of undiscovered riches.

These are your thoroughfares for walking on. Stick to these.

All right. OK? I'm going to put my brave gloves on.

And once it's safe to start rummaging...

What's this? Oh, that's lovely.

That's very nice. No idea what that is.

...Dick soon discovers that one man's junk is

another man's wife's treasure.

I just love things that you can open.

SHE GASPS That's the day before my birthday.

That's got to be in the house.

I'm sorry, but I knew this was going to be full of treasures.

Oh, my goodness me. This is quite lovely.

SHE GASPS

Oh, it is quite exciting, actually. Look at that.

This is absolutely beautiful. Honestly.

This is treasure, this is treasure to me. You know that.

SHE GASPS

Oh, my goodness.

SHE GASPS

That's amazing.

You love that, don't you? I love it. It's so me.

Another box. I love boxes.

And it seems there's no end to the surprises.

Oh, it's a little bunch of goodies. Hold on.

This is quite sweet. Look.

"Brigitte de Baglione."

And the vintage treasures keep coming.

And the back. Wow.

It's not in bad condition, you know?

This looks like...

...an old Victorian airer, doesn't it? It does.

That would make sense, because this being the laundry over here.

What do you think? That is very lovely.

HE LAUGHS

And probably Dorothy's size. Getting so big, isn't she?

It probably is Dorothy's size, actually. Mm. I think it's gorgeous.

While Angel considers the future of her haul of goodies...

Good, I'm happy. It is quite special, isn't it?

Oh, I think it's a beautiful shape.

...Dick's mind is on his system to dispose of the detritus.

Right, OK. What I'm going to do is I'm going to go to that hole... OK.

I'm going to go to that hole, I'm going

to drop you down these two ends. OK.

And then I'm going to lift it up, OK?

Luckily there are some rather convenient

holes in the ceiling to speed things up.

Right, Mrs? Yeah! What I'd like you to do...

Do-do-do-do-do-do...

OK?

OK, how's that? OK!

Right, do you want to just chuck something down? Course I can.

Stay clear.

There we go. Bingo!

That's not rubbish!

It's been a long, hot summer at the chateau,

and Dick and Angel have decided it's time for a family trip to the beach.

But this year, it's much closer to home than expected.

Oh, Petale knows where we're going. Lead on, Petale.

In fact, just a few metres away.

It's lovely down there, by the way. You can go right into the corner.

It's lovely. Honestly.

The water in the 2,000 square metre moat that surrounds their home

is now so low that it's revealing

some previously hidden bits of chateau history.

We've never, ever seen it like this.

Do you know why that's all cobbled like that, Arthur?

So they could back a cart in here

when they were filling things up with water.

That's what we were told. Is that right, Mammy? Yeah, it is.

Further along the moat, another little beach has emerged.

Petale, the family's nine-month-old Kerry Blue, leads the way.

Remember we played conkers last year?

I won the world championship, that's right,

because I'm 61 and you're not.

Down we go. This is a life beach.

Do you know what, it's really, really interesting here. Yeah?

Have a look at this ground. I know. It feels...

It feels like this isn't just where the water's low.

It feels like this was something. But hold on.

This is the same gravel that was outside the front of the chateau

when we arrived.

It looks like it's a little alcove. Yeah.

You'll probably find a little punt.

The picture we saw, was it an Edwardian picture,

with the two people on a punt? Yeah.

The place they would have probably put it is here.

The chateau was completed in 1874

as a place for wining, dining and boating.

Dick and Angel have always wondered where the launch spot was.

And it looks as though they may have found it.

I love that idea.

But cobblestones and gravel beaches aren't the only surprise.

Are these clams? Yeah, freshwater clams.

They look really, really old.

Oh, thanks, babes.

This is where the heron hangs out. On that rock.

With new beaches and rocks exposed,

Dick decides it's the perfect opportunity to claim new territory.

At least until the autumn rains arrive.

Uh-oh.

I'm on this island.

No, I'm not going to. What?

Daddy is going to Heron Island.

Oh, quick, before we go!

That looks a bit slippy now it's wet.

No, look, right. Daddy's going to Heron Island. Are you ready?

OK.

Ready? How do you think I'm going to get there?

Put your leg over. No! LAUGHTER

I'm on Heron Island! Oh, you!

I claim this island for the Strawbridge family.

And henceforth it shall be known as Heron Island.

Right, smile, Mr Strawbridge!

That is a statue in the making there, Mr Strawbridge.

Swampy DaddY-

A few clays later, and Heron Island all but a distant memory,

everything that was upstairs in the old outbuilding,

soon to be Dick's new workshop, is down.

I think over there is definitely our keep pile.

And it's time to sort the wheat from the chaff before Dick skips the lot.

This has been such a big job.

I mean, getting it all down has been like a job in itself, and...

Sasha's been helping out, and it's been really, really, really fun.

Because, you know, we all love this place.

Angel's determined to rescue everything she considers

historical, sentimental, beautiful or just simply quirky.

That is amazing.

I have no idea,

but I just love the fact that it's got a bit of beauty to it still.

Oh, look at this. Hello. Oh, goodness. I've no idea what it is.

I think it's something to do with a games table.

I think it's gorgeous.

In the 19th century, billiard tables were the height of fashion.

One with elaborately decorated iron ball catchers like this

would be worth about £20,000 today.

If that was on a billiard table or something, well,

that's quite posh, isn't it?

By anyone's standard.

Unfortunately, the chateau's version now appears to be in kit form.

These remind me of sort of, you know, the roll-top bath feet.

But an antique games table

isn't the only thing that makes Angel's heart sing.

Look at that. That is just beautiful.

And, towards the end of the day,

Angel unearths something utterly unique.

We have found loads of lovely things in here, you know.

Little insights into how they lived.

But this, this is something that is priceless.

It's absolutely priceless.

Dun dun-dun! And it is...

It's their running costs.

What they ate, what they spent their money on. This is how they lived!

The Baglionis clearly kept close tabs on expenses

during their reign at the chateau.

I mean, look at this. This is crazy.

I mean, every bit of money that they spent.

Biscuits fromage, cheese biscuits. Grenadine.

Champagne, something here.

Oh, it's so exciting, because it goes on for years.

What's exciting is that

there's still outbuildings we haven't delved into.

I know I've said it before, but actually, I don't want this to end.

I don't want to stop, you know, the excitement.

I'm still going to find something.

And this has been better than I could have ever, ever expected.

Work on Dick's new workshop is about to begin.

Once builder mate Steve

has removed the surprisingly tenacious 150-year-old steps.

CREAKING

Across the courtyard,

Angel has been delving deep into the chateau's past.

And she's summoned Dick to share her discoveries.

It's a piece of history that was in the basket

that I think you're going to love.

This is the accounts book for the house? Yeah, look. For ham.

That's a big number. Or beef. Beef!

That's two. That's for two boeufs. God, that's really expensive.

That two cows, that's two steer. Oh, OK, that's different.

That's a lot of meat.

Every single one of these pages tells a story.

Finding the chateau's accounts book is one thing.

Discovering a personal letter hidden within its pages quite another.

There's a letter that was at the front of this. 1870.

This is the memoirs of Amil de Baglion de la Dufferie.

OK.

As soon as she found the letter, Angel had it translated,

and what it's revealed about the aristocratic Baglioni family

is quite extraordinary.

It's really hard to read comments like your writing.

So it says, I'll put it in a nutshell.

This is how they've become the Baglionis,

and it's absolutely fascinating.

This is the stuff that you love, I know it is.

Baglioni. The family... We knew they were from Perugia.

Came to take refuge in the...

Which is where we are here. That's it, yeah. 600 years ago. Yeah.

Which is when they landed here.

When the Duke of Anjou lost the kingdom of Naples,

Michel Baglion, knight, lord of the Dufferie...

Yeah... came back with him and received...

They gave him Mayenne. They just gave him Mayenne.

You know, as you do.

But the 15th century Italian knight Michel de Baglion's loyalty

wasn't just rewarded with some land in France.

The family also received a new coat of arms

and a surprisingly appropriate motto.

And the motto "omne solum forti patria est".

Yeah? "Every land is home to the brave man".

I love that. I love that.

It's quite special.

CLUCKING

Back in the abandoned store room, and with the steps removed,

Dick's breathing new life into the building with gusto.

Today's task, transforming some old solid wood doors into new

solid wood workbenches.

I need a workshop to build my workshop.

Providing the muscle is their French helper Contin.

Oui, Contin!

Allez, allez, turn this one over.

I have absolutely no idea where this door came from.

It's been somewhere in a building at some stage.

It was just lying around the place, so at this stage,

we're now repurposing it.

Never one for wasting the pennies,

nor particularly concerned with designer good looks,

Dick's determined to build his workshop just out of bits

and pieces from around the chateau.

Everything in a workshop is heavy. So, we're going in that way.

You go in the corner.

Right, on the top.

We'll have to get it level. I like it.

That will work.

After months of summer sun, the walled garden,

designed for maximum productivity, is bursting with edible delights.

I somehow managed to get this in Dorothy,

because it's called rainbow chard. And you know what?

I've learned a lot this summer.

I know that when you cut this with your knife, Dick's knife,

you leave the outer leaves on.

No idea why, but you do.

And it leaves a lovely little pattern inside.

And with one crop in particular abundance...

Here we go.

...there's important work to be done.

I want this filled with grapes. OK.

We're into grape juicery.

You can eat any you want.

This is called the grape perks.

Do you think that we'll take the kids one day to do treading it

with their feet?

You take your shoes off and you go and you stamp on them

to squish them all up. Oh, you'd love it.

It feels a bit weird in between your toes.

GIGGLING

Wow. OK. Right.

I think these are ready for a squish in the first batch.

OK. Shall we go for it? A few more, one more.

OK, the grapes are in there.

Let me get down to grape contact.

Yay, look at that, Arthur!

Go on, matey. Here we go, keep it coming.

Now every turn's more juice.

It looks beautiful.

With grape juice fresh from the press...

Right, here we go.

...a cheeky little Chateau de la Motte-Husson 2020...

We're one step away from making a vintage.

Right, OK? Cheers!

...is a thirst-quenching end to a long summer's day.

Mm.

That's lovely. Oh, Dorothy, look.

It's a little ladybird.

Hold your finger up in the air. It's trying to fly away.

It's getting ready to go. Yay, and it's away.

Dick and Angel's chateau may have 45 rooms,

12 acres of land and seven outbuildings,

but it didn't have, in Dick's eyes, a decent-sized workshop.

This has got to go up.

And put your corner up.

A place to tackle the giant jobs a home of this scale demands.

As well as finding a bit of peace and quiet.

Woodwork,

metalwork, projects.

Good. Bar.

And one glance at Dick's old workshop in the chateau

proves exactly why he needs a new bigger one.

It does, though, have buried, under several strata of bits

and bobs, a worktop almost four metres long.

This has not been clear since the first week it went up.

It's just a matter of locating it.

I'm looking forward to finding things

I haven't seen for a long time.

Ta-da!

Slide it back so it doesn't come off there. Oh!

Oh! It's heavy.

You made a funny noise there, Quentin.

This is nice and solid, isn't it?

Keep it vertical, Quentin.

Gauche, droite, gauche, droite.

Just sit it up here. Right. Here we go.

Push it all the way in against the wall.

Do you know what's really sad?

All the screwdrivers are over in the other place.

QUENTIN LAUGHS

Dick, though, isn't the only one into recycling.

Angel's heading up to her workroom - the treasury -

the place she finds inspiration and where she can begin to rescue

the Victorian clothes dryer from the workshop clear-out.

We found so many treasures upstairs in the attic.

I know it totally looked like junk but as we were

kind of rummaging through there's fires,

there's bits of utility.

Victorian air dryers are a useful

bit of equipment that I think look quite attractive, actually.

And Angel reckons she has enough of the original wooden slats

to remake this one - or at least most of it.

I don't know. Normally you have about four or six kind of slats,

but this one definitely had six,

however two of them were totally ruined -

they were gone - and I was trying to find something that would give me

just a little, you know, bit of height variation and I couldn't

find anything and then the moment, the moment -

one of these cut in half.

Bringing the dryer back to life requires a bit of jiggery-pokery.

I'm going to g0...

One...

Two...

If we put these here...

This one here.

Now, Dick can hang tools or cables. You know it is going to be useful.

I just am excited that it's from that room.

All Angel has to do now is bolt it together

and attach the new rope for the pulley.

It's exactly the same kind of mechanism for a Roman blind

that I did in the boat.

You get your two sort of little eyelets,

you have your one string going up and you have your two string

going up and when you pull them both it goes up and down.

I mean, it's very simple, very clever and very effective.

But as it's a secret gift for Dick,

Angel's been keeping her plans to herself.

I did have to ask Dick for a load of coach bolts and he did look at me

like, "What are you doing?"

I love it and I love the fact that it's come from the house

and that we're still finding things,

you know. We're five years on and, you know, I know I've said it

before but I never, ever want to stop finding things.

I am excited to sort of give him something that I've done.

Right, that is good. That is going to change his life.

Outside, Dick and builder mate Steve's latest challenge

is to fit two new doors to the workshop entrance.

First, though, they need to remove the old ones -

or at least what remains of them. There's this one.

Down we go.

But its 150-year-old hinges are in surprisingly good nick.

I want to use the same hinges on the same hinge posts

because, you know, they're strong and why reinvent the wheel?

These doors are designed... The gates that were there initially -

watch - they go all the way round out of the way.

Out of the way, yes. That is why they are that shape.

While Dick strengthens the 19th-century brackets

with a bit of 21st-century welding, builder mate Steve

starts building the frame for the new doors -

using the old ones as a template.

Just take five mil off these.

As they're both working off the remnants of the original doors,

all Dick and Steve can hope for is that the original Victorian

carpenters got their sums right.

OK, that's good enough for me.

Now Dick's new workshop is taking shape,

Angel has more plans to accessorise it

and to do that she needs the expert skills of Arthur and Dorothy.

Daddy has got a new workshop, OK?

And I think you would quite like to put something in there

that you have made.

Something that Daddy uses all the time. Tape! Tape.

I know, for absolutely everything.

As there are different types of tape,

a multidiscipline dispenser is needed.

Luckily, Arthur and Dorothy have the tools as well as the know-how.

It would be great if we could have a dial all the way through.

Was it really?

Do you think you could get a hole lined up all the way

through from one end to the other?

So, shall we just get started? Right, I'm taking this apart.

So, while Arthur concentrates on the integrity of the structure...

I'm loving it.

...six-year-old Dorothy is keen to give it a personal touch.

Oh, Dorothy, that's nice. There you go. I know you like that colour.

I need another.

This is good.

There we go. Love it, love it, love it. D-A-D.

And, following in his father's engineering footsteps,

Arthur's soon preparing the topping-out ceremony.

I think Daddy's going to love it.

Arthur and Dorothy's work may be done, but up in her attic

workroom Angel has a bit of extra engineering to do.

The kids have done a lovely job.

I mean, it's cute and the hacksaw is just going to make this really,

really useful.

Glueing on a hacksaw blade will not only make the perfect

serrated edge but also the dispenser indispensable.

When you can't find something that you know where it is it is very,

very frustrating.

I'm just quite happy that Dick is going to have

a space that is going to be organised.

At the moment, though,

Dick has other more pressing things on his mind...

...like trying to make super-sized doors from a 150-year-old template.

So, that's going to start like this.

Yep, we've got to do what we've got to do.

Back towards me.

Let's get the first door up.

Soon, Dick's freshly-cut doors are ready for a fitting.

Forward, push away from me, Steve, away, that's good. Now...

The right hand door is yours, Quentin.

Just keep it there and try to keep it vertical.

Right, now, that one is good.

Right, now, Steve, kick the bottom of your door in a bit.

Good. OK, have you two got the weight? Yep.

You've both got it? Good.

Don't move, anybody.

Awaiting their hinges, Dick is almost positive that

a piece of four by two will hold the enormous freestanding doors.

Right, now you can both step away.

Cowa rds!

Dick may be in charge of construction,

but Angel is definitely in charge of aesthetics and door paint.

So, on the hunt for suitable colours,

Angel has ventured into Dick's labyrinthine workshop.

This is the workshop cleared out.

Honestly, it's full over there.

Ah.

I have not seen this before.

I didn't even know it was behind here

because there's been stuff actually on here, and this is lovely.

This is a wallpaper that I haven't got in the scraps.

Over the past five years, Angel's collected 76 different

antique wallpaper designs from around the chateau.

She's now just found her 77th.

I know, to most people, this is just junk, but, you know,

I've been trying to preserve all the wallpaper because it feels like

that's sort of the historical

kind of design of the house, and I love it. I've been obsessed with it.

And I haven't got this and I haven't seen it and the first time

I see it it's got loads of holes in it and green spray paint.

He won't remember where this is from now.

The battle to get Dick's super-size doors into the super-size doorway...

All right, Steve.

...is almost won.

All right for tightness? Yeah, good.

See if this door opener falls off.

Right...

Ladies and gentlemen...

That was easy.

With the doors finally up,

Dick's attention can move from the outside to the inside.

A few clays later, with all hands to the pump,

a functioning workshop is emerging.

Dick's been busy cooking up crafty storage solutions.

This is a muffin dish and the whole thing is getting another life

out of it, and that's what Angela does.

What we do with our things that we find is to give them

another lease of life. There you go.

Nice little storage area.

Six little pots for storing things in. job done.

What he hasn't counted on, though,

is that Angel has her own ideas for unusual ways of keeping things tidy.

Hi, beautiful. Woohoo!

It's an air dryer. It's the one that we found. It's a gift.

That's nice.

I can put my welding masks, my chainsaw masks, my chainsaw suits...

Yeah, exactly... and various bits and pieces can hang from up high.

Good, thank you.

Let me at least help you and tidy up a bit.

Angel has already spotted

and makes a beeline for Dick's box of string and twine.

And the stringer, the wooden side support of the old stairs,

provides the perfect clutter buster.

They're not related - it being a stringer and a string.

Not to be outdone in his own workshop,

Dick's keen to show off his ingenious use of plumber's piping.

This is the charging station with the batteries.

Ah, I like that, yeah. Look and see. Watch.

Gosh, it's quite exciting. You're like the cowboy of workshops.

I don't think that's a compliment from you. Why?

SHE LAUGHS

But Angel's more interested in what Dick's got hidden under

the trolley he's been making. Do you remember where this is from?

No idea. just the workshop. This bit? Yeah.

No, where the wood was from originally,

because I haven't seen this wallpaper and it's gorgeous. OK.

You know that... I'm really worried.

I'm really worried about looking underneath my worktops.

So, you don't remember? The question...

I'm not telling you off - I'm asking you - look at me -

I'm asking you where it came from originally. Do you remember?

The piece of wood. Darling, I have no idea. Literally no idea.

It was one of the rooms. And I just feel guilty because I didn't know...

I've learnt more over the last five years

and if you ever need to look at it again if you look underneath

this thing with the wheels you'll find it. Thank you.

To avoid further worktop scrutiny, Dick decides it's time

for the Victorian laundry rack to be launched into its new life...

...as a 21st-century PPE holder.

Right. There we go. To me, and release.

Right. Et voila. Very special.

I think it's lovely. Thank you.

As dusk falls at the chateau,

and with his new workshop, after a lot of hard graft,

now close to completion,

Dick has one final item to take delivery of...

Monsieur, bonjour!

Ca va?

...the ultimate man cave accessory.

Exactement. Yeah?

You don't know how happy this makes me.

Sometimes you wait a long time for something special,

and I've always wanted to have a big, chunky machine for woodwork.

This has done us well.

That is the real McCoy.

This pre-loved, 750kg, three-phase lathe

with circular saw, powerful mortiser and planing features

looks set to steal Dick's heart.

DICK LAUGHS

It's got the big routing bits on it.

Throw me a tree and I'll make you a window.

Do you know what the worst thing is, actually?

Angel keeps talking about a new front door.

I don't think I've got many excuses now.

What was once an abandoned outbuilding,

left uncared for and forgotten for decades...

...is now once again a productive part of chateau life.

A workshop that will be vital

if Dick and Angel are to tackle the biggest jobs

on their never-ending to-do list.

That's not just a cleaning roll holder,

that's one made by my big boy James George.

He made that when he was a little bit older than Arthur is now.

It's all part of the memories that come together in your workshop,

cos it doesn't matter where you look in here, there's a lot of history.

I got this little bad boy.

She was an original Moore wrench when I got my first car.

Yeah.

My dad's hammer.

You always pinch tools from somebody, don't you?

There you go.

Manky old black hammer.

It's not quite straight, it's been bent a little bit too much, Dad's hammer.

I love it.

Dick's new workshop is designed to tackle tasks big and small.

My tOY-

That's going to be my age, probably,

and this'll be good for a lot of years.

This was in our downstairs kitchen.

Broken glass on it and little electromagnetics here.

When you put current across them, up comes the indicator.

It says what room somebody wants you in.

There's even a little telephone on it.

The chap upstairs will say, "Bring up my gin and tonic,"

and bzz! Ding. He's in the salon, he's in the other room,

and that has to be brought back to life at some stage.

What I have to do now is put a combination lock on

and let nobody in,

cos this is very definitely my special place.

I love it, yeah.

I've waited a long time for this.

In the chateau,

Angel, inspired by the Baglionis' 19th-century ledger,

is keen to celebrate Dick's new domain with flavours from the past.

I am the queen cocktail-maker in our house.

When we were reading the book, I just loved it with so much grenadine,

and always quite near it, there was the orange blossom water.

Now, I don't know if they actually put them together.

I thought, "You know what? I'm going to try that."

I just want to see where I am with my taste.

Oh, that is amazing.

What was also in the book was...

Ta-da!

These.

So, I just think that if we were going to nibble on anything

with our grenadine punch,

it's going to be lady's fingers.

He's got the door shut!

Go and shout, "Daddy!"

DOROTHY:

DICK: What?

You have be over 59 to come in here.

What?! You've got pressies for me?

What?! That is so beautiful!

Dorothy, you...

Look at how good that is!

You pull it out.

"Oh, I need this length."

And you go...

And it comes off.

You can put it somewhere in my workshop if you want, darling.

Anywhere you want, it's my workshop.

Don't get used to that,

cos you're not allowed to do much in here without my permission.

SHE EXCLAIMS

DICK LAUGHS

How come we've got drinks and biscuits?

Because I'm in our workshop.

Oh, this isn't our workshop. This is my workshop.

That's yours, baby.

This is grenadine with a touch of orange blossom.

To my workshop,

and you're not allowed in here without a written letter from me.

Cheers!

And you have to be this tall to get in here. ANGEL LAUGHS

Unfortunately, neither Arthur nor Dorothy

have quite got the message yet.

Party!

Enough, enough!

This is a place of peace!

But as soon as order's restored,

one of Dick's first repair jobs

arrives in the shape of the rather battered bicycle from upstairs.

Do-Do, look.

DOROTHY EXCLAIMS

ls that your size, Dorothy?

I got to say, Dorothy, that is a gorgeous shape.

This is one of my first projects, is it?

Stand up.

The Baglionis' old bicycle

may have languished for years in the attic upstairs,

but if Dick can work his magic,

he might just be able to bring it back to life.

Dorothy for one has full confidence in his abilities.

Dorothy, what colour do you want it to be, kiddo?

Oh, you want three colours?

Next time...

OK, I'm turning it on!

...communication is key.

Is it on? No.

Really?

The new tower library means tricky trick for Dick...

O-level mathematics from 1975.

...and there's festive family foraging.

We are going to have sloe gin this Christmas.
