You might like PBS's new offering SECRETS OF THE MANOR HOUSE, which explores the titillating histories of some of England's most grand houses, like Highclere Castle above, while the cameras snoop through the great halls, opulent bedrooms and sitting rooms and checks out their downstairs realities, made so real in shows like...
DOWNTOWN ABBEY
Or THE TUDORS...
set around Henry the VIII castle - what saved half the Tudor style Hampton Court from being updated- lack of money, lucky us!
Care to guess what offering centers around SECRETS OF THE MANOR HOUSE's next featured family home?
Chatsworth
That's right, Pride and Prejudice...
Do you remember the checkerboard black and white tiled entry hall or the white sculpture gallery?
Well Chatsworth might have been Mr. Darby's ancestral home in one Keira Knightley film, but in real life it was the home of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire...
and there was no Mr. Darcy there, watch the dark truth about Devonshire's on SECRETS OF THE MANOR HOUSE, airing July 14th...
Watch Secrets of Chatsworth - Preview on PBS. See more from PBS.
And watch other full episodes at pbs.org including Princess Diana's family home, Althrop- hosted by the Earl himself- who I think had some "final approval" of content, but still interesting.
