Escape to the Chateau

Dick and Angel Strawbridge continue their adventures in France for a fourth series. It's three years since they swapped their flat in Southend for a dilapidated 19th century chateau in the Loire. The intrepid couple have made great strides, but there's still much left to do. In this series, they take on the stables - destined to become home for Angel's parents - while continuing to grow their events business. In the first episode, it's summer and Dick and Angel are busier than ever with seven weddings and 14 food lovers' weekends to prepare for. There's also the garden, the stables, the back staircase, a family trip to Paris, and an astonishing floating adventure.

It's Dick's birthday and Angel has organised a romantic balloon trip over the chateau with breathtaking views at sunrise. The walled garden is bursting with fresh fruit and vegetables that need harvesting. The couple are also up against the clock to complete the renovation of the old stables. And Dick wants to make jam, turn pears into booze, and give his old copper pans a new lease of life. Angel is also starting to put her latest plan in place - a geodesic dome on Dick's floating platform.

As the leaves turn to gold at the chateau, Dick and Angel are battening down the hatches for winter. Top of Dick's never-ending to do list is fixing the crumbling stucco. Dick and Angel also head to a 'festival of the stomach' in Rouen, looking for inspiration on what to do with all their ripe fruit and vegetables. And Angel adds the finishing touches to the floating geodesic dome for the ultimate family sleepover under the stars.
