History

[edit]

The show was based on Alan Titchmarsh and other well known celebrities and experts visiting National Trust properties and showing viewers stories, restoration work and other interesting facts about National Trust property and lands.[2]

The programme came under scrutiny when, in Series 1 Episode 1, viewers were told that they were visiting Croome Court in Shropshire, when in fact the stately home is located in Worcestershire.[3]
