How to win an overnight stay at Dick and Angel's antiques-filled French chateau

Second only to The Great British Bake Off, Escape to the Chateau was the highest-rating 8pm show on Channel 4 in 2019. And, over the past four years, viewers have loved watching Dick & Angel transform their dilapidated French chateau into a colourful, antiques-filled haven.

Now, with millions of us stuck at home, the Strawbridge family will be on hand to solve the nation's make-do and mend dilemmas with practical advice... plus a touch of Angel's creative flair!

With France also under lockdown, the series will be filled entirely by the Strawbridge family at the chateau, and they will communicate with families from across the UK via video call. Dick and Angel, and their children, will also be tackling some of their dream projects, and trying out some new pastimes, to keep themselves entertained.

Dick and Angel say: 'It’s humbling that our audience wants to see more of us and our adventures. Between the pair of us we have nearly a century’s worth of 'make do and mend' experience and so we are really excited to be making this brand-new series.'
