Secrets of Chatsworth

The DVD gave a nice overview of a lovely home. I was entertained & informed about this little corner of the world. Overall pleased.

While this was somewhat interesting it definitely was not what I expected or was looking for. It's mainly a history of the Cavendish family with an occasional look at the house. They talk about notorious members of the family and ignore the rooms and the art and the sculpture. I kept waiting for them to actually say so and so painted this or this happened here and this is why this was done. They did better on the gardens but even there spent a lot of time on a building that is no longer there. Quite a disappointment. Wish I'd seen it on PBS so I'd've known not to waste my money on it. Guess I should have bought the 25 year old tour instead! I think the same Duke (then Marquess of Hartingdon) did the tour guiding.

A beautiful look at the inner workings of a stately home. Enjoy watching it over & over!. Very reasonably priced!

Sorry that i cannot rate this as yet, it was purchased as a Christmas gift. So, I will have to let you knowmuch later on; I will say that I find castles fascinating, some so cold and uninviting, some a bit warmerand tempting to visit ~ all with lots of stories contained within their walls I'm sure.

Good documentary. I just came back from England and visiting Chatsworth. It was beautiful! I learned quite a bit more by watching this and even saw some of the rooms I actually went through which was exciting.

I visited this building recently and was glad to have a dvd to learn more information.

sent this to a friend who has enjoyed watching it several times.

It's in DVD format and rather poor resolution for todays high definintion TVs, but still a compelling story. If it was remastered in Blu Ray, I'd buy another copy. Good gift for those with limited TV choices.
