The documentary follows the story of Robert Fiddler's castle together with three other similarly long-running planning battles. Although the basic angle of the programme is 'Haha, look at these lunatics and the stupid things they try to do to get around planning rules!', the narrator cannot help but express admiration for this building:
"... This is one impressive achievement. Robert's remarkable ingenuity and use of reclaimed materials meant that he was now the owner of this magnificent 1,700 square foot castle for just £50,000."
Coincidentally also in the news today, Eric Pickles, the Secretary of State who was responsible for making the final ruling against the Mr Fiddler and his castle, has been sacked in the post-election cabinet reshuffle.
