Series 4: Episode 4

Today, John Craven visits Broughton Castle in Oxfordshire, which was once besieged by royalists after the owners raised an army to fight King Charles I. \n\nMargherita Taylor finds out what can be done about the 300,000 tonnes of our clothing that gets dumped into landfill each year. Fast fashion items - those that are worn once and thrown away - are considered to be the worst offenders. Keeley Donovan is in Derbyshire, meeting the lucky people who get to live in a stately home without needing to win the lottery. Paul Martin’s garden is in a bit of a state after the winter, but now as temperatures climb and new growth begins to appear, spring is definitely the time we think about getting outdoors and having a good sort out. \n\nJules Hudson and Teddy are on a mission to find our why the nation's pets are so fat. Over half of British dogs are obese and some of their weight problems could be genetic. John shares the most impressive stately homes to visit in the spring, and Tom Heap reveals the damage done to our wild bird populations by egg collectors who raid their nests.
