| Summary |
A while back business woman Ruth Watson came to the rescue of six country houses that were in desperate need of some straight-talking, business advice to save them from crumbling away. For Ruth and the home owners it was a turbulent journey full of family history, ancestral duty and, in many cases, raw emotion. In this series we revisit the six magnificent properties one year on to see if the owners have managed to turn around the fortunes of their stately homes by following Ruth's advice.Elmore Court is a 25 million pound estate in Gloucestershire that has been in the Guise family for 750 years. It has recently been inherited by 37-year-old Anselm, who has no money and needs a way of making some fast as the house falls into a state of disrepair. There are cracks in the walls, a leaking roof and decaying outbuildings and it's up to Anselm as the latest owner to save this important family seat. Anselm lead a party lifestyle before inheriting Elmore, but now he has been forced to get serious and he needs to put the ideas he has for the house into action, with some help from Ruth Watson.Anselm has made progress in all areas since Ruth's visit and, most importantly, has met a bride who now lives with him at Elmore. A leak from the water tank has forced them to put the cookery school on hold and start work on the interior of the property and the renovation of an entire wing. In the future however there are plans to develop the cookery school idea into a School of Good Living. It seems Anselm is now more than comfortable in his role of 'Lord of the Manor'.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Country House Rescue Revisits is a Betty Production for Channel 4 |
