The
National Trust comes to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ TWO
After
great success and critical acclaim on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ FOUR, The National Trust
documentary series moves to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ TWO for a ten part run starting
on 14 January 2004.
The
National Trust programmes tackle the big questions about heritage
in an observational series and allow viewers to see what goes on
behind closed doors at one of Britain's most powerful and political
forces.
How
should Britain's history be conserved? How can the right balance
be found between preservation of national treasures and public access
to them? What does value for money mean in a world where restorations
can cost millions of pounds?
Filmed
over two years, the series focuses on five Trust hot spots - Studland
Beach, Stonehenge, Lennon's boyhood home, Waddesdon Manor and Tyntesfield
Manor.
On
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ FOUR the first programme in the series peaked at 370,000 viewers.
Critical
acclaim for the series included...
The
Spectator - James Delingpole:
"... there are times when you're forced grudgingly to admit
that it's still the greatest broadcasting organisation in the world
and that your licence fee is worth every penny. The first part of
its new series The National Trust was once such moment..."
Daily
Telegraph - Gerard OÂ’Donovan: "... a series...
that manages to be sophisticated, enlightening and entertaining...
That director Patrick Forbes could convey so much with such wit,
acumen and visual flair was a minor miracle of television-making."
Sunday
Times – AA Gill: "Beautifully shot, impeccably
paced, it was a clear, unrelenting look at the National Trust...
"
Mail
on Sunday – Nigel Andrew:
"The superb series on the National Trust continues on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½4."
The
Independent - Stephen Bayley:
"brilliantly observed".
Now,
the
programmes will be on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ TWO from 14 January at 10.00pm, but as
half hour episodes making it a ten-part series.
