Hidden Treasures of the National Trust

I happened on this by accident but it pulled me in and transfixed me. The programme tells beautiful human stories from the past in a loving and respectful way. Many people have said that the National Trust and the BBC have tarnished their reputations in recent years. This programme is a great riposte to those criticisms.

So much attention to detail is paid throughout the series and it showcases what both institutions do so well... informing, educating, entertaining in an inimitable and charming way. There is a lovely British eccentricity about this show too and it provides glimpses into the lives of the dedicated characters who help us to learn from the past to avoid the mistakes and make a better future.
