Escape to the Chateau

Nice finale with the fireworks. Anyone else notice Angel spilling her tea all over Arthurs shoulder?

James was featured a lot again tonight. I do wonder if it ever annoys Angel that Dick had such attractive kids with his first wife. Mind you Angel can't be that much older than James?

To be fair I used to really like them and I am extremely jealous of anyone with a partner who can not only cook but turn their hand to literally anything in the way of renovation/building etc but it’s all a bit much now, I admit I was gormless and thought they did everything but of course that’s ridiculous the sheer scale and work required would obviously need ‘helpers’ it’s like all these types of programmes they start off and you think
“ yeah 👍” then it carries on and you think
“ whaaaat 🙄” the blinkers fall off and you see it for what it is a money making enterprise with a cast of about 20 people slogging in the background whilst the main characters twiddle with a decorative branch or two … but this is just my opinion

I totally get what you're saying, I suppose though it is a business at the end of the day and will be run like one to an extend and maybe the tv show which shows them 'twiddling' is just extra income which they need to run/renovate the chateau. For me it's a bit of escapism from normal life 🤣

Absolutely 👍
To be honest I think I’ve just lived in a delusion bubble for a while and failed to see that of course these are business’s of course they don’t do everything themselves 🙈 😂

Recently I’ve loved watching ‘saving the manor’ which follows two blokes off instagram
( mytinyestate ) which is complete escapism to a useless DIY person like myself

Love these two!! They are so nice on insta, and you can tell they work bloody hard and their attention to detail is unbelievable 👌🏻

ETTC is still a bit of a guilty pleasure, yes they’ve obviously run out of significant projects now and have been faffing around with minor stuff more than usual, but I still admire their skills and creativity. And I think the kids are so endearing 🫣
 
What they have achieved in such a relatively short time considerating the size of the project is amazing. In the early days we knew it was just them as time went on of course we knew they had help. Angel looked less tired dick put back on some weight and looked less stressed. I think from start to end this show has been amazing I've loved every minute of it and I'm genuinely going to miss it

My dislike of the Strawbridges has been slow growing but having heard what they did to Michael Petheridge and his family I loathe them. Angela put out that she's the design genius while ripping off other people and turning everything into making money for HER. As for the way Dick patronises Arthur, the poor boy needs to be spoken to in a normal tone of voice and allowed to grow up. The self-satisfaction of Dick and Angela is stomach-turning and they both giggle and chortle as though everything they say is amusing. It isn't. Sorry to any of their fans.

Michael Petherick? Seems to be an ex-employee saying he designed various items that Angela took credit for? There's a other similar results if you search online, this was from July '21
