Escape to the Chateau

Where I live, Season 2 has just come on air, and we're part way through it. The family, the kids, the in-laws, the vendors, the chateau itself ... all most endearing, and fun to watch how they think something is done and then three more crop up. I loved watching them explore the moat.

But as other reviewers also mentioned, this whole premise that they "have no money" and are "saving money by doing everything themselves" (which may be partly true) is wearing thin when each programme also stresses how expensive the materials are. Not to mention how much the contractors and builders must cost -- even if they are relatives.

Yes, I look forward to see how they turn this into a fabulous money-spinner, but at least at this point in the series they are definitely not doing it without help that never gets acknowledged.

This program both fascinates and delights me. I am amazed by Dick and Angel's transformation of the dilapidated, abandoned Chateaux into a beautiful and loving family home and sucessful business. I am absolutely delighted observing their relationship with each other, their two children and Angel's parents. They appear to be a model of how to raise a loving family in a fun-loving way.

This show is so sweet and nice. I love it and can't wait to see the next season. They are so resourceful and hard working. I think it amazing that they are renovating this huge home, raising 2 kids and also holding down their day to day jobs also. The pacing and editing are done well and the camera work makes you feels very natural and non-intrusive.

Such a great, sweet programme. Easy watching and full of surprises.

What a perfect show can't get enough of it each season pulls me right in the couple is phenomenal lots of fun true characters definitely one of the most entertaining programs I've ever seen pure joy
