Escape to the Chateau

We know from the opening sequence that Dick Strawbridge and his partner Angel Adoree do manage to get their 45-room French château habitable in time for their wedding. But at this point of the series it’s hard to see how their dreams will become reality.

The to-do list is enormous (although, weirdly, buying chickens appears to be at the top of it) and, of course, the project has fallen behind schedule. “Sometimes things don’t go quite to plan,” grumbles the usually cheery Dick, while Angel is happily working on the frills and furbelows that will bring their home to life. Are the cracks finally showing?
