Axed: Escape to the Chateau wraps final episode

UK favourite Escape to the Chateau has wrapped its final episode.

The programme first launched in 2016 and followed husband and wife team Dick Strawbridge and Angel Adoree who traded their two-bed apartment in Essex for an abandoned French chateau and documented their efforts to restore it to its former glory.

A S9 Christmas Extravaganza, which aired in the UK on Sunday, was the last episode.

“Arthur & Dorothy broke up from school on Friday and yesterday was dedicated to getting the house stocked for Christmas and being taxis for the children’s social lives, but today we go with the flow, and ‘smell the roses,'” the couple said on Instagram.

“We can’t quite believe tonight is the finale of Escape to the Chateau! What an incredible journey we have been on these last 8 years. THANK YOU for being a part of it…

“We will be sitting down to watch as a family, which is another first as the children are normally in bed, and we’re sure there won’t be a dry eye in the house as we reminisce over our Chateau adventure and re-watch all our family and friends kicking up their heels at our biggest Christmas party yet!

“We hope you enjoy the episode and we will be raising a glass to ‘The end of a chapter, but most certainly not the end of the book.’

“Have a wonderful Christmas, cherish every moment with your loved ones and from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for inviting us into your home. Love, Dick, Angel, Arthur & Dorothy (& Petale).”

In Australia the series screens on 9Life, which is still at S6, meaning new episodes should continue for some time.
