Chatsworth

Three-part documentary series detailing life of the new aristocracy over Chatsworth's entire 2011 season. The first programme joins the 12th Duke and Duchess as the house is being prepared for opening to the public. It is the busiest time of year for the house staff and everyone has a role to play - even the duke and duchess, as they join the annual litter pick around the estate.

Episode two follows the duchess and the highlight of her social calendar, Chatsworth International Horse Trials. This year there is extra pressure on the duchess and course designer, Ian Stark, as the event is an official qualifier for the London Olympics and everything must meet the governing body's exacting standards.

In the final episode, summer arrives, bringing with it the wedding season at Chatsworth - but there is a veil hanging over proceedings and it doesn't belong to the bride. After a year of being hidden behind scaffolding, Chatsworth's 14 million pound renovation is finally revealed, and the great old house is ready to face the future.
