Inside The National Trust

Available to order now from deltamusic.co.uk and amazon.co.uk


Michael Buerk goes behind the scenes at five National Trust locations and meets some of the dedicated army who look after Britain’s heritage. And he rolls up his sleeves too – roped in as a Georgian manservant, guinea pig for 1770s style make-up, painstakingly cleaning a priceless chandelier, learning the ancient craft of hedgelaying, photostalking deer, risking the wrath of puffins as he sticks his hand down burrows for a crucial count, helping to lamb a ewe or lining up for the National Scything Championships. You’ll see the doughty war reporter and journalist in a very different guise.

Each episode is packed with surprises and secrets and reveals just what it takes to ensure the survival of Britain’s magnificent heritage. And we meet the unsung heroes behind the scenes who go to extraordinary lengths to safeguard it on our behalf.
