8pm Monday Escape to the Chateau - Documentary
Lt. Col. Dick Strawbridge and his partner Angel Adoree trade in their two-bed apartment in Essex for a dilapidated 19th-century French chateau, and work tirelessly to restore it back to its former glory. The couple want to create a beautiful venue for weddings and events, but they soon run into budgeting problems yet persevere, as the deadline to the wedding season and its hundreds of guests draws ever closer.
We follow the journey of Dick and Angel's quest to restore the chateau from its uninhabitable state by installing running water, heating and electricity throughout the 45-room castle, which had not been lived in for the past forty years. They are working against a deadline: their own wedding, which is to be held at the property.
ANGEL'S PALACE OF DREAMS - Walls are being knocked through and turrets transformed into museums. Dinner is served in the new downstairs kitchen and the kids have a new helter skelter to explore.
