Escape To The Chateau is a fan-favourite on Channel 4 and the series stars Dick Strawbridge and Angel Adoree as they renovate their beautiful castle. The couple gave up their two-bed apartment in Essex for the dilapidated 19th-century chateau in France. They have since launched a number of spin-off shows, including Make, Do and Mend.
When is Make, Do and Mend back on?
Escape To The Chateau made its debut on Channel 4 back in the summer of 2016 and it has continued to generate a huge fanbase.
The documentary series became so popular, it sparked a whole franchise that has seen Dick and Angel release books, merchandise and other spin-off projects.
Escape To The Chateau: Make, Do and Mend first launched in 2020 and the series sees Dick and Angel help families across the UK tackle DIY dilemmas.
The series aired during the coronavirus lockdown, when families across the UK were stuck in their homes, in need of something to pass the time.
The couple helped families feel at home by sprucing up parts of their houses and giving them a new lease of life.
