In its heyday, Loton Park in Shropshire employed 19 servants and six gardeners. However, the estate has now shrunk to just three farms, and owner Sir Michael Leighton lives alone in the "big house". This documentary follows him as he struggles to reconcile his conventional views on estate management with a pressing need to make money through events such as public open days and weddings.

2/5. Little Dancer Aged Fourteen. Edgar Degas 's bronze sculpture of a ballet dancer wearing a real tutu has become one of the most widely appreciated European works of art. But when the original tinted wax version was first exhibited in 1881 it caused consternation, with contemporary critics dubbing Degas's petite danseuse variously as "a monster' and a "flower of the gutter". This documentary reveals how Degas broke every rule in the book to create his modern masterpiece, and also tells the poignant life story of the sculpture's model. Narrated by Sam West.
