On tonight at 9pm BBC 1 - A year in the life of Chatsworth Estate.

Got it on 'series record' OC 

[Old Cruser]

Nice one alsatian  I will just get in to watch it!

Has anyone been following the documentary on the indian ocean, BBC 2 Sunday nights.
Have been enjoying this one and this week in Somalia - they had stacks (and i mean STACKS) of money at the side of the road - it was their bank!! 
Simon Reeve who is doing it, ended up with his money in a wheelbarrow    - not worth a lot though, just a load of old paper really

You wait ages for a good documentary then 3 come on at the same time. Looking forward to 56 Up as I've been watching the seven-yearly  updates since 21 Up. The Seventies has also been an interesting series.

Part of Chatsworth was filmed at the Town Hall as the present Duke's great grandfather was mayor 100 years ago. Don't look for me though I didn't make it to that one.

Nice to see we had early notification of this. 3 hours earlier than some places for example!!  (can't find a little devil smillie!!)

[~Aitch~]

I shall also be watching the 56 up programme, Andy.  Talk about watching your life slipping away.  pfffft.

I'll catch up with Chatsworth later

[Big Dave]

It's the Chatsworth prog for us tonight.

Whatever do you mean Jon?

[Pete]

Horrible. Bunch of creepy, grovelling minions caught in time warp.

I daren't say what I think about the Devonshires.

[Old Cruser]

I enjoyed it.
@ Slacker --- you missed out on the nibbles then??
@ Pete I liked the old Duke he was president of Matlock Mencap where I volunteered years back, great old fellow used to mix in with us all. Not sure about the young one - I wasn't happy about the car park fee on the Park which he implimented     ps ---- @ JR's post --- would there be anymore smilies coming forth at some point

What's the 56 up prog. please anyone ?????? 

[Alsatian]

What's the 56 up prog. please anyone ?????? 

It's a series of documentaries that have been made every seven years, firstly about some (can't remember how many) children aged 7 and then 14, 21 28 etc etc. This series, entitled 56 Up, is a catch up on them when they are aged 56.

Last nights' prog was very good - it's on again next Monday at 9pm.

[Pete]

I think I'll give that one a go - the Chatsworth prog isn't for the likes of me...

I need to watch the 3rd one as I was on the A1 at the time coming home.  2nd one was good with that bloke who bought that island and lives the with 120+ giant tortoise.

[Old Cruser]

yes I wondered how he managed living alone, but quite an enterprising old fellow wasn't he.
I wouldn't go to Somalia, no chance. I read the book written by the british couple who were kidnapped by the alshebab, terrible story, but at least they got out alive, strange though the book never did divulge how much was paid over to the alshebab to get them out.

I'll have another go at this
