Angel Adoree

Dick Strawbridge and his partner (subsequently wife) Angel Adoree swap their two-bed flat in Essex for an abandoned French chateau. Can they bring its 45 rooms and acres of land back to life?

Dick and Angel Strawbridge help families across the UK tackle their design and DIY dilemmas. With millions of families stuck indoors, the significance of being able to truly feel at home in the places where we live has never felt stronger.

Many Brits have moved to France to buy crumbling French chateaus to renovate into stunning homes. This series follows their progress and sees them try to use their homes as a business for events, etc. In 2021, the program was renamed as "Chateau DIY".
