## Description

Product Description          See how life was – and is – lived in Highclere Castle. It may be more famous now than any time in its 1,300-year history as the setting of “Downton Abbey,” but England’s Highclere Castle has its own stories to tell. In its heyday, Highclere was the social epicenter of Edwardian England. See how all the inhabitants of Highclere lived, from the aristocrats who enjoyed a life of luxury to the army of servants toiling “below stairs.” Also find out how the current inhabitants, Lord and Lady Carnarvon, spend their $1 million in annual upkeep funds and what life in a fairytale castle is like today. This DVD features subtitles in English (SDH).             .com          Since the launch of Downton Abbey, Highclere Castle has become just as famous as Lord and Lady Grantham. With the participation of current owners George and Fiona Herbert, a.k.a. Lord and Lady Carnarvon, this PBS special presents a virtual tour, though some information also appears in Secrets of the Manor House. Nonetheless, a fuller picture emerges. For the Herberts, the loss of a little privacy has been worthwhile, since their involvement with the phenomenally successful series helps to pay for the castle's upkeep, which includes 20 servants and $1 million a year in expenditures, an understandable sum in light of all the crystal chandeliers, historic clocks, and silk wall coverings (they also employ gamekeepers and deer stalkers to maintain the animal population). If the couple allows the Downton crew free reign, they reserve the smoking room for personal use, though it resembles the rest of the house, with the exception of a few ancient artifacts. The long-abandoned maids' quarters in the towers, however, look like something from out of Charlotte Brontë's brooding Jane Eyre with their dusty floors and peeling paint. The program also examines the Fifth Earl's connection to the excavation of King Tut's tomb and the vast grounds--lawn maintenance appears to make up a goodly portion of the annual budget. Though it would've been nice to feature commentary from Julian Fellowes, who created Downton with Highclere in mind, butler Colin Edwards explains the difference between his duties and those of Jim Carter's indomitable Carson. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

    Great DVD
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 14, 2023*

Receive product on time.  I was worried since DVD was moving in its case and it had small scratches but it played beautifully.  This is a great DVD for lovers of Downtown Abbey to get the history of Highclere Castle.

    Well done for a Brief Overview
  

*by F***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 5, 2016*

It is a very well put together overview of another Historical British Property in a small series of such manors.  It covers rather alot for an hour when you consider the family and it's holdings have been around for a mere 4 centuries.  I liked the series (with all the houses) as a whole very well, but I think there is some disappointment because parts of this particular house was used in the filming of Downton Abby and they wanted to see more.In reality, if you do the tiniest bit of research, you will find there there are many parts of the castle that are simply uninhabitable and possibly unsafe for them to film in.  They did show a bit of this with a few frames from an unused portion of the house.  It wasn't until the filming of Downton that they were able to make some repairs on the place, which is why as the seasons go on you see more and more of the castles.  What I like about this series is that they connect the past of the founding of these houses with the care and upkeep of the manors and families today.If you are  interested in brief overviews but are looking for something more juicy concerning aristocratic houses and their families, look for documentaries on the Cavendish family with their "Secrets of Chatsworth"

    A Good Behind The Scenes View Of The Castle Behind Downton Abbey
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 8, 2015*

It was nice to see that the castle is being cared for today so that future generations can see it as well. Like many of the reviewers here, I, too, was hoping to see more of the lesser seen rooms and what the actual downstairs looked like. But I enjoyed seeing what they did show in spite of that.Probably my only disappointment is the state of the tower, if what was seen there was from today. I'm really hoping that the current Earl will see to the repairs of the tower. I think it's the one place I would be most eager to explore. Well, I'd like to explore the whole place but the tower would be my first expedition. For some reason, it fascinates me.I also found it interesting that much of the history of the place has been included in episodes of Downton Abbey. The fact that during the war, the castle did, indeed, become a makeshift hospital - operating theater and all.If you enjoy Downton Abbey, I do recommend watching this as well. While the documentary is light in touring the entire castle, it does show how the estate works today and some of those who make it work. Highly recommended.
