Restoring the Dream (2019)

A look back at the transformation of Dick and Angel's 45-room chateau in France from abandoned ruin to sumptuous family home. The series begins by recalling the technical and engineering challenges they had to overcome to make it habitable for their young family. The couple remember their first winter together, when Dick's ingenious solutions were put to the test.

Designing The Dream (2019)

The look back at the epic transformation of Dick Strawbridge and wife Angel's 45-room chateau continues, focusing on how Angel's creativity bought the chateau back to life, as walls were smashed, exquisitely designed rooms cleverly bought to life and stunning bathroom suites installed.

The Party of a Lifetime (2019)

Dick and Angel are warming up for one of the year's biggest events - Angel's parents' 50th wedding anniversary, which involves inviting more than 100 people to a huge party. There's a bespoke menu to plan and prepare, so Dick has called in the cavalry, with his son James arriving from Cornwall. Together with some help from Arthur, the Strawbridge boys have their work cut out as they create dishes they hope will strike a chord with everyone.

Camper Van (2019)

There never seems to be much down-time at that sumptuous French château for owners Dick and Angel Strawbridge. Even as the summer ends after their busiest ever season and the last wedding of the year is nearly over, there’s still a lot to do. While most people would put up their feet and have a Pernod, Dick and Angel welcome an armada of vintage Citroëns that call in at the castle for a rest and breakfast during a fund-raising charity tour of France. And the family, including youngsters Arthur and Dorothy, work on their latest project, doing up a 1980s Asquith bus.
