I guess some of you watch it on tv. My ancestors of my mother's side all lived in West Dean & worked for Edward James who owned West Dean estate where the program is filmed. When I watch the program I also "see" my ancestors as I have some old photo's of them. I guess many of them must have worked in the "repair shop" many years ago.

Wonderful programme we always watch it. :-D

Lovely spot and how lovely for you that it's where your ancestors were.

The Weald & Downland Museum (at Singleton, but on the West Dean Estate) is a wonderful place to visit! :-D

The only problem with that program is, that sometimes you only get edited bits of repair....I would like to see the "out takes"...if any..
