Many men who are well born are called gentlemen who unfortunately are not. But this man is humble and honest and tenacious whose battle for recovery from a devastating stroke has been herculean. What a pleasure to get to know him and his lovely family. I wish them the best in their future.

What an honest, humble account - and a wonderful outcome for many. I wish there were more people like this in the world, he deserves recognition for what he has done despite his own battle.

My mom had five strokes before she passed away. So this is a nice story somebody survived a stroke. Everyone should watch this to see signs and symptoms of a stroke.

A fair number of relatives of the Russell's ended up in Australia, and when two of my great aunties returned to England and went to visit the estate, telling them that they are relatives from Australia, they were apparently told 'oh yes, we are aware of some distant relations from the colonies' and then shown the door... Or so the story goes! 🤣

Amazing that the original Armada Portrait of Elizabeth I is a picture on the wall of their house! 7:07

Fun fact: There's actually 3 "original" Armada Portrait's of Elizabeth I - One is displayed at the Queen’s House in Greenwich. One in the Woburn Abbey Collection and the third; a partly cut-down version can be found at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

maybe if for the friends and family of someone with aphasia they could have a hand sign or even a real sign that indicates "i have things to say, but my aphasia is preventing me from speaking, FYI 😃" or some such..then at least people don't just think you're sitting there without a thought...

I related heavily to Jamie's experience. I was 10 when I was only one who witnessed my father's stroke. My father wouldn't let me call an ambulance. That's how stubborn he was.

Wait...he was never Lord James Russel anyway if his parents weren't yet the Duke and Duchess of Bedford. The would simply be The Hon. James Russel...

Yes, I don't quite understand the line of inheritance here. It's confusing. Where is the actual Duke. These persons r the Marquess and Marchioness of T. In I think the final ep., their elder son is addressed as Duke. Did his parents ascend to the Dukedom and abdicate r something?

An Ancestor was GIVEN this Estate 400 years ago. The family have had 4 centuries of living off the back of the common people. Why should they become a "Public Park" for the riff raff? BECAUSE IT BELONGED TO THE RIFF RAFF IN THE FIRST PLACE! (as did every Estate of the Aristocracy!).
