First broadcast: on BBC FourLatest broadcast: on BBC Four

Documentary series following three aristocratic families struggling to hang on to their historic homes. Burton Court in Herefordshire has been owned by Commander Robert Simpson and his wife Helen since the 1960s. In order to maintain it, Robert started a soft-fruit farm and Helen a costume and curio museum, but recently they haven't been making enough money to keep the house going. Their son Edward decides that the only option is to turn Burton Court into an upmarket wedding and function venue. With most of the family savings sunk into the project, can Edward make it succeed?
