Blenheim: The People Behind The Palace on SBS and SBS on Demand S1E1 – It’s spring in Oxfordshire, and at 300-year-old Blenheim Palace, the staff are preparing to open for another busy season.
The Palace, a private residence of the 12th Duke of Marlborough, is the only non-royal palace in England and opened its doors to the public in 1950, in order to raise funds to conserve and maintain the palace and its estate – and it’s always busy for the staff who welcome nearly a million visitors a year.
Episode One:
We meet apprentice George who is opening the palace, but he isn’t alone – as overnight there has been an intruder; a pigeon has found its way in and the palace team, led by Kate, are trying to get it out, before the coaches of visitors arrive.
Meanwhile, the events team led by Natalie and Julian, are preparing for Nocturne, a series of music concerts which take place in the Palace’s Great Court, but there is concern the vibrations from the concert threaten the priceless China collection in the Palace.
