TREASURE HOUSES OF BRITAIN

Hosted by Selina Scott, this documentary series offers rare access to five of Britain's finest stately homes - Burghley House, Chatsworth, Blenheim Palace, Holkham Hall and Boughton House, and marks the first time they were filmed in 3D. These episodes shed light on these well-loved, spectacular buildings, as well as their treasures that tell human stories: from the tapestries the First Duke of Marlborough commissioned to celebrate his triumph at the Battle of Blenheim, to the Italian pietra dura cabinet which the Medici gave to the owners of Burghley - the greatest Elizabethan house in England.
