Episode 1: The Beach

- Nov 16, 2003
Studland Bay in Dorset. This gem at the heart of the Dorset coastline is one of the Trust's most popular sites. But natural erosion is causing the beach to get smaller and smaller each year whilst more and more people pour onto it. Discover how the Trust attempts to reconcile the competing claims of a disgruntled bunch of families, dog owners, horse riders, locals and Britain's most vociferous nudists.
Episode 2: The Beatles
- 1h
- Nov 23, 2003
John Lennon's boyhood home in Liverpool. This modest semi on the outskirts of Liverpool, stripped bare of all Lennon memorabilia apart from an aquamarine bath suite, was acquired by the Trust as part of its controversial drive into modernity. As the clock ticks rapidly away until the press launch, the documentary looks at whether the builders will ever leave and whether Yoko and her army of advisers will ever give the final seal of approval.
Episode 3: The Purchase
- 1h
- Nov 30, 2003
Tyntesfield Manor near Bristol. This is the hidden story of how the Trust actually got its hands on Britain's last great Victorian house by beating off claimants and popstars (Kylie amongst them) and securing sums of public money. The cameras go behind-the-scenes to see if the Trust can actually deliver on all its promises.
Episode 4: The Lord
- 1h
- Dec 7, 2003
Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire. Unbeknown to the casual visitor, many of the Trust's houses are still occupied, and often controlled, by the families who 'gave' them to the nation. One of these is the gothic extravaganza Waddesdon Manor, home to the tenth richest man in Britain, Jacob Lord Rothschild, and his bevy of servants. Meet the man himself and take a peek behind his curtains to see what really goes on behind all the pomp and ceremony.
Episode 5: The Stones
- 1h 19m
- Dec 14, 2003
Stonehenge attracts a 20,000-strong crowd of hippies, pagans, druids and travellers every year. As celebrations for summer solstice draw ever closer, the National Trust and English Heritage face Druids, Pagans and revellers for negotiations, including characters such as 'Viziondanz' and 'King Arthur'. Meanwhile, the little matter of Britain's most contentious planning battle rages on - will the eyesore of the A303 finally be banished?
