Country House Rescue

This show tracks an older couple as they attempt to save a remarkable, centuries-old manor home. The home is rambling, with many areas in a bad state, and the grounds are breath-taking.

The couple attempting to rescue it are classic, daft Brits. You have to thank them, but you also conclude they're nuts. I assume the UK lets these homes go to seed, because they have too many to save? Making it all worse, is the behavior of the couple as they interact with their non-crazy children is also "only in the old world." You can't fathom The couple's emotionally anachronistic values are truly strange. The husband when asked if a meager amount being discussed was his income last year; admits. "I've never made a profit." Even capitalism is a foreign idea.
