A series of six films in which English families and communities still look remarkably different from each other.
3: Hoghton, Lancashire
In 1978, Sir Bernard de Hoghton succeeded to the oldest baronetcy in England. But when he holds a banquet to commemorate the knighting by James I of a loin of beef (hence ' sirloin '!) at Hoghton Tower, the 14th baronet is not remembering how his ancestor landed in the Fleet Prison for debt as a result of the feasting, but calculating how much this ' do ' will raise towards repairing the £100,000-worth of dry rot above his head.
Brian Trueman talks to Sir Bernard about his problems and his determination.
