I was in the Malverns the last week. We were putting up the first Country House Hideout tent for a Channel Four reality TV show that airs in the New Year.
The gang arrived from Holland with an articulated lorry that contained the tent and all its contents.
The chaps worked their socks off to get the tent ready in time for filming to start late on Sunday. It looked stunning in the woodland setting.
Everything worked fine and then it was handed over to a family who were staying overnight and being filmed. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive both on and off camera.
Then barely 48 hours after it had gone up, this Country House Hideout came down to be reassembled at the Hamptworth estate in the New Forest later on this week. That opens on 18th September to a mixture of press and members of the public until the end of October half term.
NO! NO! NO! No more reality television! When did you go over to the dark side!

But Dave I have always been on your dark side - Disney, the COI.
The only episode in my life I am ashamed of is when I was a banker....with you...
