Documentary following stately home owners who hire out their estates to earn extra income, and the clients who pay to use their properties for functions including stag parties, weddings and hunting trips. The programme explores how the reality of life in Britain's grand houses is often less glamorous than it appears, as proprietors struggle to maintain crumbling buildings and pay utility bills, and examines the modern-day divide between domestic staff and their employers.
