Watched Chateau Rescue The Previews ..
MPK is narrating and it's as though a young child is reading while they point a finger at the words as they go. The pace is odd with longer than necessary spaces in the middle of sentences, perhaps that's when he reaches the end of a line and has to move his finger to the next.

The 'chateau' is in Normandy and we are told it cost 300k but not whether this is euro or sterling. We are not told when it was bought which is relevant. We are only introduced to the three male owners by their first names and that they want to make it a family home. Are they related or a thruple? They have three caravans as accommodation and one of them owns a pink pair of Wellington boots.

In programmes such as Grand Designs or even Homes under the Hammer the people taking on the project are asked their budget and timescale. Chateaux are money pits but the project must have a plan, budget and funds in place to enable them to achieve it. Chateau Rescue has too many flaws thus far for me.

I also thought they were a thruple. This is their channel in this vid you can see a woman and a kid too perhaps they will move in at a later stage. I suspect they are family of the trotters and also travellers.

Which one is he? According to his FB, he's friends with the whole crowd of them. Studied at Cambridge and lives in the Netherlands.

Kim’s husband Imar who tried to keep himself totally out of cameras way...ooops... saw yah, and then we saw you again on the duty rota in the kitchen!

I don't think anyone reported him though. Uni is mostly online due to covid, so he might get away with it?

I think there could be some confusion with initials. I know @MojoDublin means Dick and Angel, but D&A could also stand for Dan & Annalise !

By seeing a caravan —- in any shot
Does that automatically make u a traveler ???

In that case dan and Annalise are travelers ??

Could it be - empty chateau for decades no heat - until the heating works - plumbing - electric you stay warm in a caravan

Ask selmar - it’s his preference

This info Despite living in a chateau , her cousin could obviously accommodate him better than SJ

Welll spotted

MojoDublin said:

Legally it’s called an NDA
Non disclosure Agreements
And sir Trotter is no fool he’s not breaching it
D&A no fools either - everyone signs one

Sean’s wife worked for the strawbridges as well !!!!

I don’t doubt that he enhanced her work
But to be fair - D&A were way ahead on merchandise as that point - sir trotter wasent even hanging out with SSB at that point - he was a make up artist for the wedding s initially- pethericks season No 2 haven’t even been out on tv at that stage

Well done I forgot he did the make-up his visible in one of the episodes.

Too much. Literally

Just to give a bit of perspective about SJ being an opera singer. She completed an opera degree however never sang professionally, as far as I can tell. Her level of singing is on average with someone who has had the same amount of training. To actually have a chance of having a career she would have needed to spend several more years in serious study, either in a young artist program, the fach system in Germany and Austria, or with a private teacher.

He did end up with the cousin, Gillian, according to his facebook they moved to Amsterdam together in 2018. But that's the same Gillian where the flower girl stayed back in England later on, so that relationship probably did not last...

I wonder what your opinion about Cat's singing is? We heard SJ, Cat and Pilip singing together before Christmas.

In Curtis’ interview she said that to have any measure of success as an opera singer (or artist) she would have had to put great effort and work. Even she knows she is not cut out for that.
