01:15Or will it all fall down around their ears?
01:24Oh dear
01:25As they try to restore the past to build their future
01:30Because there's a whole village to be built yet
01:37Today
01:38By mapping the wheels we can deduce the combination
01:42We can then open it
01:45In Spain, a locked safe is cracked
01:48Finally giving up its secrets
01:53Meanwhile in France, an old barn makes way for an exciting new venture
01:59It's going to be part of a big reception hall we want to do
02:02And we want to keep the style
02:04And in Portugal
02:06Look at the size of those trucks down there
02:09They are huge
02:11Village saviours go granite shopping as they rebuild their home
02:15Our stonemason is going to come up here and kind of hand choose them
02:18And as they get loaded he'll be saying no, yes, no, yes, no
02:22For many of our village saviours
02:36Bringing back to life these once lost places
02:39Means the villages have to begin to pay their way
02:42To help provide an income to fund their rebirth
02:46Our saviours choose many ways to do this
02:50Cuellar is a former farming community in northwest Spain
02:54As soon as we went inside
02:57As soon as we went inside
02:58I was just amazed at just how well everything was kept
03:01And although it had been unoccupied for many years
03:04The neighbours were doing their best they could to keep the house in good shape
03:07Tony and Lauren purchased Cuellar in 2021 for 160,000 euros
03:13Gaining a five bedroom farmhouse
03:15Four acres of land
03:17And a number of barns and outbuildings
03:19Since moving to Spain
03:21The couple have become alpaca farmers
03:24There was just so much scope for doing real good things with it
03:29We didn't get into the barns until we bought the property
03:32Because it was just so much vegetation overgrown
03:34It's December and with their herd now established
03:43Would you like to come and say hello? Come on then
03:47Their plan for the coming year is to open to the public as an alpaca farm park
03:53Today it's washing day for the herd
03:56Oh good girl Petal
03:59She's like more, more
04:03So these guys in full fleece
04:06They like to have a bit of a cool down
04:08Generally December, not great for splashing them
04:12But it's a warm enough day today
04:13Basically wet their legs, their tummies
04:16Never their back
04:17Because you don't want to affect the quality of the wool
04:20We can't do it too late in the day
04:22Just because they're not going to dry off in time
04:24And then they're going to be wet and cold for the evening
04:26Love being splashed
04:27But then they go and get in the mud
04:29And then they like to roll in the mud
04:31Here she goes
04:32Here she goes
04:33Yep
04:35This is what she does
04:37Oh, you're all dirty now
04:40While preparation for the opening of the alpaca park
04:43Keeps the couple occupied
04:45Tony and Lauren
04:46Are also keen to get to the bottom
04:48Of the mystery of a large locked safe inside their home
04:55If you go backwards your way
04:56Yep
04:57Does it lift it a little bit so the photos don't
04:59And it's not the only one
05:01We also can't get into this safe neither
05:03They have a key that appears to fit
05:06But it still won't open
05:08But we thought because it had been painted over
05:11That maybe the paint had got inside the lock
05:14And that's why it was stuck
05:16So we've cut into all the grooves
05:18Got right inside
05:20We know it isn't paint that's holding it
05:22That's blocked it
05:23Desperate to find out what might be hidden behind
05:26Both these locked doors
05:27Tony and Lauren reach out for some expertise
05:30That's it
05:33Okay
05:34John
05:37How are you doing?
05:38Hello John
05:39Nice to meet you
05:40And you too guys
05:41You look very cosy there
05:43UK based John Drake
05:45Is a specialist in opening locked safes and vaults worldwide
05:48The time has come
05:49Now the time has come
05:50We want to open Pandora's box
05:52Well I'm both open
05:55And I can't see any reason whatsoever
05:58Of not having them up and running
06:00It's not like the movies
06:01Things don't go click click click
06:03When doing some research
06:05I managed to find an old advert
06:07An old sales brochure
06:09Oh wow
06:10From the manufacturer?
06:11From the manufacturer
06:12And I think
06:13And again it's very difficult to age
06:15But I think it's going to be somewhere between 1908
06:18And up to like 1930s for the larger safe
06:23Wow
06:24So it's all
06:25That's a real surprise
06:26Yeah
06:27At least 50 years older than we had any other
06:30We just thought it looked old and crusty
06:32Because it's been inside the wine bodega for 40 years
06:35But so it actually looks old and crusty
06:37Because it is old and crusty
06:39Yeah
06:40That's it!
06:41The dial
06:42And that is the safe
06:43The other safe
06:44The smaller safe
06:45Yep
06:46Is 80s
06:47So
06:48Ah
06:49So that is a little younger
06:51The key the couple have for the safe is hinged in the middle
06:55And Lauren's keen to find out why
06:58Hey look at that there we go
07:00There you go
07:01It's like it's something out of a fairy tale
07:03Yeah
07:04Like it's
07:05When we found it we were like
07:06It means it fits in your pocket a little easier
07:07Yeah
07:08That's why they put a hinge on that one
07:09It's so fascinating
07:11It's all part of the journey of getting it
07:13Getting them open for you
07:14And that journey could soon be over
07:17Speak to you soon
07:18Bye bye
07:19Take care
07:20Bye
07:21As John has agreed to come out to Spain
07:23And attempt to open the safes
07:26If John says
07:27I've got 100% confidence that I'll get into the safe
07:30That's good enough for me
07:42Brittany in the far north-west of France
07:44Is a region steeped in the past
07:48Before the French Revolution
07:50Nobles known as Chevalier
07:52Ruled these lands
07:53Building impressive manor houses as their family seat
07:58Laveau is such a settlement
08:00With a history dating back 500 years
08:02In 2024 the latest custodians of Laveau
08:15Took ownership of the abandoned 12-room manor house
08:18And four outbuildings set across seven acres
08:21Anglo-French hypnotherapist Claire and her French husband Joe
08:26Have big plans for Laveau to fund its own restoration
08:30So much to do but it's from scratch
08:34It gives us opportunities to do pretty much whatever we'd like to do
08:39The idea is not just for us to live here
08:41It's really to create a whole business
08:43We would like to renovate a big part of this stable
08:46To create a reception area for weddings
08:50We have a short timeline just to start getting a bit of money in
08:53It's exciting
08:55It's March
09:00Four months into the stewardship of Laveau
09:02And today Claire and Joe are removing the roof from one of their barns
09:07There's a lot of work to be done to turn these historic farm buildings
09:11Into a wedding venue and event space
09:15Joe is going on the roof
09:16I'm going to be on the ladder below to make sure it doesn't move
09:20Do you feel scared?
09:25I'm scared
09:26I'm scared of accidents
09:28I'm scared of accidents
09:29But I'm scared
09:30Okay
09:31I did skydiving
09:34So I'm not scared of heights
09:36First of all, Joe breaks holes in the roof panels
09:41To loosen them from the fixtures holding them in place
09:50But the loosened panels begin to move
09:53It moves, it moves, it moves
09:55Stop, Joe
09:56It moves towards the right
09:57I'm going to break my head
09:58You're going to break my head
09:59What?
10:00You're going to break my head
10:01Yes, we're going to break my head
10:03It's going to break my head
10:05It moves towards the right
10:07What do you say?
10:08It moves towards the right
10:09It moves towards the right
10:10It moves towards the right
10:12The panels are then slid off the roof
10:20Okay
10:21Okay, okay, okay
10:30Gravity soon lends a helping hand
10:33It's unbroken
10:35It's unbroken
10:36Wow
10:38The rest follow in quick succession
10:43It's not broken
10:47At this moment
10:48Just be careful
10:52It's nearly done
10:55It's looking good
10:56After four hours
11:01The roof has been stripped of panels
11:05It's finished for this side
11:07Finished!
11:09Woohoo!
11:13The long-term plan is to fit a new roof
11:16Using more traditional materials
11:18We're going to replace it with a slate
11:20So it goes with the manor and the rest of the roof
11:23So it's all going to be in the same style
11:25And in Brittany it's mostly slate on the roofs
11:29Whereas in other parts of France it would be more tiles
11:33And on the inside, Claire is beginning to get a sense of what their event space might eventually look like
11:40It's true because suddenly there's light, it's really big
11:45And we were wondering if we were going to stay with seeing the ceiling, seeing the roof or creating a floor
11:52And it does really do a big room and leaving it like that is going to be, I think, very great
11:58It's a nice space
11:59While work has begun, there's a lot still to be done before Laveau can even begin to start thinking about hosting weddings
12:15Coming up
12:17We've had to make a massive shift in the way we were hoping to build the house
12:21Crumbling granite causes a headache at a Portuguese kinta
12:24Six years was the rough estimate of how long it would take if we stuck with that stone
12:30And in Spain
12:31Now it's the key moment, are you ready for this?
12:33Yeah, let's go
12:35Tony and Lauren open a window on the past
12:39Oh my God, there's stuff in there!
12:54The fertile mountainous slopes of northern Portugal are dotted with kintas
13:02Farming hamlets where families have been growing crops for generations, making their living from the land
13:09This has always been farmed by the local people and our neighbours have been here since they were kind of kids
13:16They've always lived on this mountainside
13:17When John and Tara from Bristol decided to make Kinta das Compras their new family home
13:23They had a very clear idea of how to make the most of their five-acre site
13:28We don't live on a flat, open space
13:32We live on terraces and it's so beautiful the amount of opportunity it provides us to do different projects
13:39In different locations with different views and different feelings to it
13:43Since taking ownership of the village in 2021, the couple have made big changes
13:49The construction of their new four-bedroom home is progressing
13:54While down at their lower terrace, a biopool, a pond-cum-swimming pool, continues to take shape
14:01We wanted to take on that challenge, we wanted to create something that's completely ours here
14:06That's kind of unlike anything that we've ever done before
14:09Yeah
14:10It's March, and today John and Tara are paying a visit to a local quarry
14:20That one looks nice
14:22That's that blue colour, we definitely don't want the blue, isn't it?
14:27Yeah, definitely not
14:29Carved out of a mountainside, the quarry supplies granite for construction
14:33But John and Tara weren't originally planning to use newly quarried granite to build their house
14:40Things haven't been going quite as we had hoped or expected
14:46Not to plan anyway
14:47Yeah, we've had to make a massive shift in the way we were hoping to build the house
14:52So we had planned to build it using reclaim stone that had been taken from buildings that had been demolished around us for whatever reason
15:00And that first load of reclaim stone arrived on the property last week
15:05It was jolly exciting
15:07They started working with them and as it turns out, super labour intensive to cut them to shape
15:12But we're also getting about 50% waste, so they're just crumbling and we're wasting so much
15:21A porous stone, granite that's left unsealed outdoors will, over time, begin to crumble
15:27John and Tara's reclaimed stone from old collapsed buildings is likely to have suffered years of exposure to the elements
15:38So we're working away with it and after about three days of hammering and grinding and working with the stone
15:47We've got five stones out of it
15:49And five stones would cover an area of about that much
15:53And we are building a house that's the size of a well
15:58It's a big house
16:00So six years was the rough estimate of how long it would take if we stuck with that stone
16:05We're not in a massive rush, but six years is a bit long
16:08So what we're trying to find is a new stone that can be pre-cut by the quarry to the thickness that we need it to be
16:15To save our stonemasons quite literally years of work having to split the reclaimed stone
16:20But we want to get the colour and the character the same that we would have done had we been able to use that reclaimed stone that we were hoping for
16:29We are having to make some compromises which is always disappointing when you've had a dream and you're building your own home
16:35But it is what it is
16:38Catching up with the boss of the quarry along with their own head contractor and stonemason
16:42They agree a plan of action for getting just the right colour of granite for their house
16:51Yeah, what we've decided is that they're gonna choose from all the different yellow tones
17:00And they're gonna get a mix of them so that we get that variety
17:02So Marcus our stonemason is gonna come up here and kind of hand choose them and as they get loaded he'll be saying no, yes, no, yes, no
17:11Anyway, can we descend the mountain and get warm again?
17:17It's cold up here
17:20It's so cold
17:23Before they leave John is keen for a glimpse into the heart of the quarry
17:26Wow, look at that
17:31That's colossal
17:35Look at the size of those trucks down there
17:39They are huge trucks completely dwarfed
17:43Amazing
17:45My boys would love that
17:47Saving villages is always about making compromises
17:50And for John and Tara using freshly quarried granite will ensure that their house will still be standing for many years to come
18:05Back in Northwest Spain
18:07This has been a long time coming really long time coming
18:11It's March and Tony and Lauren are awaiting the arrival of English safe cracker John
18:18So to get to a point where the safe could be open in minutes
18:22Yeah, it's incredibly exciting just some historical documents even a few photos that that will be enough
18:28It could be all sorts of stuff in there. It's big enough to hold a body
18:33Hola, buenos dias
18:35John
18:37Welcome to New Horizons
18:39John gets straight to work
18:41It's definitely locked isn't it
18:43Imagine that
18:44Three and a half years and it was open
18:47Laying the key on the side of the safe shows the thickness of the door
18:53Next, he listens to the dial, attempting to visualise the locking mechanism
19:00We're working blind, we're flying absolutely by the seat of our pants
19:04Drilling a hole in the safe
19:07He inserts a tiny camera
19:12The view that's given me is actually the wheels
19:16By mapping the wheels, we can deduce the combination
19:20We can then open it
19:21Well, well, well, well
19:32That's ready to open for you
19:34Well, er, that's incredible
19:37Shall we get your good lady?
19:39Yeah, I think so
19:41Three years after they moved in, their mystery safe is about to reveal its secrets
19:45Now it's the key moment, are you ready for this?
19:48Yeah, let's go for it
19:50Let's go for it
19:52Oh my god, there's stuff in there!
19:53Oh no!
19:54Oh my god, there's briefcases!
19:56There's ammunition!
19:57Oh my goodness!
19:58They're bullets!
20:00We said there might be bullets!
20:03There's another safe!
20:05Oh
20:06Oh my goodness!
20:08There's stuff in there!
20:10What have we got in here?
20:12Photos!
20:14Oh wow!
20:16No way!
20:18Look at this!
20:19I'm certain this man on the far right is
20:21Don Manuel Fraga Hervani
20:27Manuel Fraga was a controversial politician
20:30Who served as Minister of Tourism under the Franco dictatorship
20:34Remaining in politics as Spain returned to democracy
20:38Born nearby, he was friendly with the previous owner of Cuellar
20:43He died in 2012 at the age of 89
20:46He has a lot of significance for being a co-author of the Spanish, the first Spanish constitution after the dictatorship ended
20:58So to find such a personal item inside the safe is quite something
21:04He would have valued that, he would have classed this as treasured items
21:07To know that there's a picture linking someone that is very well known in Spain for many reasons
21:16To our houses, I mean it's incredible to find that
21:21Within the safe is evidence that the previous owner was a keen hunter
21:26We have come across some bullets
21:28Here is the box for the original bullet
21:33But the bullets weren't inside the box, believe it or not, they were inside a jar
21:36We'll probably have to call the authorities to declare that
21:40There's more in here than I anticipated there was going to be
21:43Meanwhile, John's begun working on the second safe
21:48But previous failed attempts to open it have completely broken the combination mechanism
21:55This is just hopefully going to just give us a little bit of...
21:59The door is stuck solid
22:01So John utilises his powerful magnetic rig to prise it open
22:04Oh
22:14I'm just going to take this off
22:16Oh you're kidding
22:17No there is, there is
22:19There's paperwork and keys
22:22More keys
22:24Oh my goodness, it's a security deposit box
22:27Goodness
22:29Attached to the key is a fob with an address in the Spanish capital Madrid
22:35I would suggest both of these keys are duplicates
22:40Quite unusual
22:42What kind of applications would you see such an unusual barrier?
22:45For me, in gates
22:47And metal doors
22:49It's an interesting personality that we're starting to unravel here
22:53I mean those keys, yeah that is very interesting
22:56If they were so important to an address in Madrid
22:59Why would they be in an abandoned safe in Galicia?
23:03One mystery closed, another opened
23:05For Tony and Lauren, the mysteries of their villages past have become an intriguing puzzle that they now feel compelled to solve
23:21Coming up
23:23The idea is to try to take the big wooden beam out without breaking anything else
23:30Claire and Jo's demolishing calls for careful manoeuvres
23:33Well that's coming out
23:38And it takes a family effort at Quinta das Compras
23:42Can you pass me the hammer?
23:44It's not compact, this is heavy
23:47Then heck it is
23:48Back at Laveau in North West France, it's April
24:09It's April
24:11But you want to talk about the truth?
24:14And today Claire and Jo are pulling down a roof from a crumbling barn structure
24:19With the roof removed, a single stone wall with arched entranceway remains
24:26Eventually, in this series of derelict farm buildings, the couple hope to establish an event space hosting weddings and functions
24:35Yesterday we fold down the roof and all of this
24:46And today we will have to clean here
24:49And so the plan today is finish finding that up
24:51And then try to wait to take that big wooden beam down without taking the wall with it
25:04That's the last piece
25:09With the debris cleared, it's time to tackle the huge beam
25:13This wood is very, very, very old
25:16I will make slowly with the digger
25:21But before Jo gets to work removing the beam
25:24He's concerned by something he spotted on the granite archway
25:28Which could bring a halt to any further demolition
25:30He has a big stone half move when we have put down the roof
25:40It appears that the keystone in the centre of the archway has shifted in position
25:46Claire decides to review old footage on her phone that she shot of the barn before the demolition began
25:52It hasn't moved
25:59Jo was worried because he had the impression that stone, that granite stone, hadn't moved
26:03Since we don't have the roof
26:05It's true that you see a shade that we never saw before
26:09With confirmation that the stone hasn't moved
26:12Jo can return to his digger and begin to remove the large wooden beam
26:16But to avoid damaging the archway, he'll have to move gingerly
26:20This grand double-height arch would likely have been built to allow access of carriages and carts piled high with hay from the surrounding farmland
26:31Jo moves the digger into position
26:37The idea is to try to take the big wooden beam out without breaking anything else
26:44It's just stones
26:45No no no no!
26:46Oh my God!
26:47Oh that's coming out!
26:48Oh my God!
26:49Oh that's coming out!
26:50Oh my God!
26:51Whoa!
26:52Whoa!
26:53With the beam removed, Jo sets eyes on an old, concrete door frame
26:57Whoa!
27:02Whoa!
27:04With the beam removed, Jo sets eyes on an old, concrete door frame
27:08Joe set eyes on an old concrete door frame
27:11Claire fixes strapping in place
27:19To help Joe lift some heavy old doors
27:21Out of the way
27:22It's a playground isn't it
27:25Ay ay ay
27:27Where's he gonna put that
27:28Some kind of door for animals
27:31Because there used to be
27:33Stables you know
27:35For cows
27:36Each of the barns on this side of the courtyard
27:40Would at one time have been filled with livestock
27:43Cows, horses and hens
27:45Would all have called these buildings home
27:47With debris cleared
27:50Claire and Joe now have an even better idea
27:53Of what their event space
27:55Might eventually look like
27:57These old cow stables
27:59Is going to be part of a big reception hall
28:02We want to do
28:03Which will go from
28:05One bit of room here
28:07Right up to the end
28:08And this room in particular
28:09I think we want to do
28:11The tavern style
28:13Keep the walls
28:14Because there's only going to be
28:14Those two little windows
28:16And we want to keep
28:17Try and find a way
28:19To keep the style
28:20Claire and Joe's plan
28:23Is to take inspiration
28:25From the existing historical wall and arch
28:28When it comes to the design
28:29And construction of the new walls
28:31For the space
28:32The idea is
28:35With this arch
28:36To recreate the same style
28:38On this side
28:39Along here
28:40And have three or four
28:41Which would be windows or doors
28:43All that will be one single big room
28:46In the Celtic style
28:47Because Brittany
28:48It's Celtic originally
28:50So to keep that style
28:52Of all those cultures
28:53There's all this to clear up now
28:56It's easy destroying
28:58But cleaning up
28:59Is something else
29:01Back at Quinta das Compras
29:09In Portugal
29:10Watch out for your eyes
29:13On this time
29:14Oh thanks
29:15It's March
29:17And with the builders
29:18Not on site today
29:19It gives John and Tara
29:21A chance to inspect
29:22The progress
29:23Of their house construction
29:24You can see the beams
29:26And the frameworks
29:27Ready for cement
29:29It's started to go into place
29:30We haven't finished
29:32Over this side yet
29:33But we've got the beams
29:34Going up
29:34Our contrast is saying to us
29:36You know like
29:36From now it's rapido
29:37Rapido
29:38Because the walls
29:39Are going to go up
29:39And it's going to be super fast
29:40So we were really
29:42Really excited about that
29:43But yeah
29:44The stones have kind of
29:46Unrapido'd things
29:48For us a bit
29:48Haven't they?
29:49They have
29:49I think if we were building
29:50A more standard build
29:52We'd have been finished
29:53Last week
29:53And so we're expecting
29:54It to take longer
29:55And cost a bit more
29:57But you know
29:57We want it to be kept
29:58Within reasonable boundaries
30:00Don't we?
30:00Absolutely
30:01Leaving the house construction
30:04To the builders
30:05This is very wet soil
30:07Isn't it?
30:07So muddy
30:08It's like sticky sticky
30:09Today
30:11John and Tara
30:12Are building
30:13Putting together
30:14Raised beds
30:15For vegetables
30:15All part of their plan
30:17To become
30:17Self-sufficient
30:18I like the idea
30:20That we build
30:22Our first bed
30:23Here
30:24Coming across here
30:25Okay
30:26Then you guys
30:28Can fill it up
30:29Yeah
30:29With soil
30:30Yeah
30:31And then you can tell me
30:32How many more
30:32You want me to
30:33As with most things
30:36At the village
30:37The couple's
30:38Two sons
30:38Are always keen
30:40To be involved
30:40Can you pass me the hammer?
30:43Nothing
30:43Pass me
30:44I think
30:45Flipping heck
30:46It is
30:47One day
30:51I'm hoping
30:52That I can say
30:54Hey Crusoe
30:55Your mum wants
30:56A raised bed
30:56And Crusoe will go
30:58I'm on my way
30:59Leave it to me
31:01Dad
31:01How does that
31:08Does it look good?
31:15Now we've got
31:16One box
31:17We'll see how long
31:18That takes to fill
31:19And if Tara wants more
31:21Can't build her
31:23As many as she wants
31:24These raised beds
31:30Are just the latest
31:32In a long line
31:32Of accomplishments
31:33For John and Tara
31:34Since 2021
31:36This year marks
31:38Four years
31:39Since we bought
31:40This little village
31:41In northern Portugal
31:42And it's been
31:43An epic
31:43Epic
31:44Four years
31:45We've done a lot
31:48Of reflecting
31:48And it's been amazing
31:49To look back
31:50At what we arrived to
31:51And what we have now
31:53Especially with the big build
31:54Going on in the background
31:55It hasn't all been highs
31:56There's been so many highs
31:58Though
31:58Hasn't it
31:58Like we're literally
31:59Juggling
32:00Three massive projects
32:01At the same time
32:02And look after two boys
32:04And look after our kids
32:05Like there's been days
32:06Where it's like
32:07Gosh
32:08You know
32:08We really are
32:09Stretching ourselves
32:09Super thin here
32:10This is a bit bonkers
32:11It's been
32:12The hardest work
32:14I think we've ever done
32:15In our lives
32:16Both physically
32:17And kind of
32:18Everything else
32:19That comes with it
32:19It's just been epic
32:20And all that effort
32:24Is about investing
32:25In a future
32:26For their sons
32:27Crusoe and Sawyer
32:28Those boys are growing up
32:30In a wonderland
32:32Yeah
32:32I think their whole world
32:33Is adventure
32:34You know
32:35Everywhere is different
32:36And everywhere
32:37Has something new going on
32:39I wouldn't change a thing
32:40For them
32:41I think they've
32:41They've just loved it
32:43And they are thriving
32:44With their house build
32:46Their bio pool
32:47And their strive
32:49For self-sufficiency
32:50John and Tara
32:51Are juggling a lot
32:52As they attempt
32:53To breathe new life
32:54Into Kinta das Compras
32:56You know
32:58Not being scared of failing
32:59Is super important
33:00We've also had to
33:02Really dig deep
33:02To maintain
33:03A really strong work ethic
33:05Because it is
33:05A daily grind
33:06You've got to wake up
33:07Every single day
33:08And contribute to the vision
33:09You can't just kind of
33:10Tap out for a bit
33:11It's just
33:12I can sum it up
33:13Really quickly
33:14In one line
33:15Be brave
33:16Think big
33:17Explore
33:18That's it
33:20Done
33:21Coming up
33:32I create games like
33:34Escape games
33:36Murder parties
33:38Claire and Joe
33:39Are still looking for ways
33:40For Laveau
33:41To pay for itself
33:42The manor is good enough
33:44To do some kind of game
33:46It would help us
33:48Further renovation
33:48And in Spain
33:50Everybody dreams of opening
33:52A safe and finding
33:53Gold bars
33:55Tony and Lauren
33:56Turn detective
33:58We're not going to be millionaires
34:00But
34:00It's a really interesting story
34:03Back in Brittany
34:18Hi
34:19Hi
34:19Hi
34:19Timothy
34:20Joe
34:22It's spring at Laveau
34:26With the demolishing
34:27Of the barn roofs complete
34:29Claire and Joe
34:30Are looking for ways
34:30To bring in money
34:31To help pay for the renovations
34:33We've got a company
34:36Which does games in castles
34:38He's got games in different castles
34:41Working already
34:41We're going to explore that
34:43In the middle of the 14th century
34:46I think
34:46Timothée Jacqueline started his games business
34:51When his parents bought a castle in Brittany
34:53I create games like escape games
34:58Murder parties
34:59Cluedo
35:01Stuff like that
35:01And it's another way to discover
35:03The historical places
35:05If the manor is good enough
35:08To do some kind of game
35:10We could maybe organise a game
35:13Over the summer
35:13And it would help us
35:15For the renovation
35:16The materials have gone up
35:1730% in France
35:18In the short term
35:20Yeah
35:21An injection of money
35:22Would be great
35:23It would really help us
35:24The good news is
35:26Timothée can see
35:27The potential of Laveau
35:28It's a big castle
35:30And you have a lot of
35:31Different hidden places
35:33That we can use for fun scenarios
35:36First you obviously have to be sure
35:40That everything is safe
35:41For the people who will come to play
35:43While the news is positive
35:46Before any games can be staged
35:48Joe and Claire need to make safe
35:50The rooms Timothée has earmarked
35:53This room and the room behind
35:55Is going to be the escape room
35:56And the rooms above
35:57Are going to be used for
35:59Cluedo type murder mystery
36:01So the idea is not to renovate
36:02The whole thing
36:03I mean we don't have time
36:03To renovate
36:04But making sure
36:05That it's all secure
36:06Part of what has attracted
36:08Timothée to using Laveau
36:10As a setting for his
36:11Murder mystery games
36:12Are the period details
36:14Of the house's layout
36:15Behind these fake walls
36:19You can see that
36:20That would have been
36:20A cupboard
36:22You don't want to put
36:23Anything in it now though
36:24But
36:25There's more cupboards
36:28Here
36:29Quite a bit of work to do
36:31What's interesting in an escape game
36:33Is having rooms
36:34Like hidden rooms
36:35Secret rooms
36:36That's what we're going to try
36:37And exploit here
36:38Before the games can commence
36:42The remedial work must begin
36:44The floor upstairs
36:46Is bowing into the room below
36:48So to find out the cause
36:49Some of the floorboards
36:51And the ceiling
36:51Need to be removed
36:53That's been attacked
36:58By the woodworms
36:59And that's why it's like that
37:01The question is
37:01Taking off the pieces
37:03That are coming down
37:04And then treat it
37:06With that product
37:07That I've been using already
37:08Which kills the woodworm
37:10It's no surprise
37:12To find woodworm
37:13In a 500 year old building
37:15But it'll take time
37:17To treat the timbers
37:18And remove any
37:19That are unsafe
37:20The couple install props
37:23To temporarily support
37:24The structure
37:25There's a bit of thinking
37:27To do now
37:28It's been a busy five months
37:35For Claire and Jo
37:35Since taking ownership
37:37Of Laveau
37:37Where every day
37:39Is a working day
37:40As they slowly breathe new life
37:42Into their historic settlement
37:44We've done so much
37:46And here are our big septic tanks
37:50Hey
37:50That one's the small one
37:53Actually in front
37:54But the one behind
37:55Is six tons
37:57We're hoping
37:58To put them in ground
38:00Well we were hoping
38:02Before summer
38:02But now we're going
38:03Into the games
38:04I'm not too sure
38:04We'll have time to do that
38:05As well as their
38:08Renovation work
38:09For the murder mysteries
38:10And locked room parties
38:11Their biggest project
38:13Is creating an event space
38:15For weddings
38:16It's one of the areas
38:18Where the changes
38:19Are the biggest
38:21Because I mean
38:21Taking Del Rousse
38:22Is huge
38:23While Claire and Jo
38:25Are focused on
38:26The modernisation of Laveau
38:28Through every step
38:29Of that journey
38:30Preserving the past
38:31Is always
38:32At the forefront
38:33Of their minds
38:34We've got the responsibility
38:37To do what we can do
38:40I feel like
38:40We're really contributing
38:41To history
38:42And I think
38:43With this kind of place
38:44That's
38:45It's hard
38:47But at the same time
38:47It's satisfying
38:48We're bringing it
38:50Back to life
38:51Back in northwest Spain
39:03It's April at Cuellar
39:05Where Tony and Lauren's
39:08Unlocked safe
39:09Is beginning to unlock
39:10The secrets
39:11Of their village's past
39:12We've got
39:15A checkbook
39:16From a bank
39:18That hasn't existed
39:19For many many years
39:21It's weird because
39:22There's a feeling
39:23Of nostalgia
39:24For a time
39:24That wasn't ours
39:26We're seeing
39:26A true insight
39:27Into someone here
39:28When you're thinking
39:29About opening a safe
39:30You instantly start thinking
39:32About well what's
39:32Important to someone
39:33You know
39:33What do they class
39:34As valuable
39:35We were hoping
39:37To open these safes
39:38And have a lot
39:39Of questions answered
39:41But we've been posed
39:42With more questions
39:43These are the belongings
39:46Of the previous owner
39:47Now deceased
39:48Tony and Lauren
39:50Are keen to piece together
39:51Some of his life story
39:52These keys
39:55At first
39:56I mean
39:57It's
39:57They looked for us
39:59To be far too elaborate
40:00To be
40:00Just a set of
40:02Spare keys
40:03When we opened
40:04And the sleeve
40:06We could see on the back
40:07On the reverse
40:08There was a written address
40:09So at that point
40:10We realised
40:11We realised
40:11Okay so this must be
40:12The residence in Madrid
40:14We did a Google search
40:16Did a street view
40:17And you could see gates
40:18So although this needs
40:20Further investigating
40:21It must be that
40:23We won't entirely say
40:24It's that for sure
40:25Just yet
40:26Until we've done
40:27A bit more further investigating
40:28But it does appear to be
40:29Some of the items
40:32Unearthed by the couple
40:33Need to be dealt with
40:34As a matter of urgency
40:36Yeah there really is
40:37Only one thing you can do
40:38With the ammunition
40:39And that's a trip
40:40To the Guardia Civil
40:41In Villalba
40:42And they deal with it
40:43Responsibly
40:45And the good thing is
40:46Because we've got
40:47Supporting documentation
40:48Hunting license
40:50We can demonstrate
40:51There's no nefarious action
40:53Taking place here
40:54This isn't just a safe
40:56Where we're unraveling
40:57Valuable stuff
40:58And treasures
40:59These are personal
41:00Artifacts of a person
41:01Who lived here
41:02It's really fascinating
41:04Because here
41:04You've got all different
41:05Facets of a character
41:06And this just kind of
41:08Adds to it really
41:08Everybody dreams of
41:10Opening a safe
41:12And finding gold bars
41:14Or silver
41:15Or jewels
41:15And we've got
41:17Some of what we hoped for
41:19But it kind of feels
41:20Like we've been teased
41:21It still feels like
41:21There's more of the story
41:22To uncover
41:23But we've found
41:24Some incredible places
41:25To start
41:26Two weeks later
41:35And with the summer season
41:36Around the corner
41:37Tony and Lauren's
41:38Historical research
41:39Has been put on hold
41:41We're on day two
41:42Of shearing
41:43So today
41:44We're getting the boys done
41:46Yesterday the girls
41:47Were sheared
41:47But as you can see
41:49They're all looking
41:50Like aliens now
41:51Without their fleeces
41:52Now Ola's going to get excited
41:56Because the only time
41:57He goes this way
41:58Is for mating
41:59Come on Bubba
42:01Fabulous
42:02Oh you look very disappointed
42:04Yeah he's like
42:05Hang on
42:06But then we're girls here
42:07The sheerer
42:09The sheerer restrains
42:10Each alpaca
42:11To avoid any injuries
42:12As they're cut
42:13Well done
42:17With the fleece collected
42:21Ready for processing
42:22Into wool
42:22Tony and Lauren
42:24Can begin to look forward
42:25To the summer
42:26And the opening
42:27Of their alpaca farm park
42:29We're here for the long run
42:31And we'll do the best
42:32That we possibly can
42:33To get our alpaca farm
42:35Open and ready for the public
42:37Galithia is a place of tradition
42:40So for us to bring alpacas here
42:42Which is such a different animal
42:44You can see like it's
42:46People are excited for it
42:48We're so close
42:50In so many areas
42:51Yeah it's exciting times
42:53Tony and Lauren
42:54Hope that the alpacas
42:55Will bring in an income
42:57To help keep their village alive
42:59And in turn
43:00Allow them to continue
43:02To solve the mysteries
43:03Of Cuellar's past
43:05Whilst there's not much
43:09Visual history
43:10The stories
43:12The explanations
43:13Of how the land
43:14Was in Cuellar's era
43:16We've been really lucky
43:19In that respect
43:19So we probably know
43:20Ten times more
43:21Than we would have done
43:22Had we just arrived
43:23In the middle of a village
43:24It was a culture shock
43:26To begin with
43:27It was
43:28And we're now
43:28Three and a half years in
43:30And yeah
43:31We're not regretting any of it
43:32We're so happy we did this
43:34Our next big priority
43:36Is getting everything ready
43:37For opening
43:38But that doesn't mean
43:40That we now neglect
43:41The history of the house
43:43We're still truly fascinated
43:44With the things
43:45That we've found in the safe
43:45We want to follow up on them
43:47I still feel like
43:48This house has more secrets
43:50To give us
43:51It's like the gift
43:52That keeps on giving
43:53I feel really happy
43:57Being here
43:58And I think
43:58I perhaps wouldn't say
43:59It feels like
44:00I've always been here
44:01But it definitely feels
44:02Like we should be here
44:03Next time
44:11We meet the former
