    God you'd need millions to do that place up. It would be a cool place to stay but as it is it's so damp and pokey.

    Haha - the brothers politely declining the invitation to stay (aka running a mile)!

    That place looks like the Medieval Zone from the Crystal Maze.

    Yer ones laugh is something else.

    "We're really self sufficient ... for three months of the year".

    You'd wonder what they do the other 9.

    I should point out, that I grew up about 5 miles from there and never knew the castle existed.

    Well as much as the castle is gorgeous, and she's as mad as a box of frogs (with a honking laugh to match) - it's definitely not the most riveting of these programmes ever made....

    I was at a big dinner event recently, and he was at a table near to me.... only for I was working and couldn't really go wandering I'd definitely have made my way over there under any pretext, to see what he was really like!

    Anyone I know who's met him thinks he's a legend, I can't see him being any different off camera than on - think that's the secret to the brothers' success on TV, pure naturals!

    I know of some one who know him from trips to Lourdes (or maybe medagourie) and they said he is the nicest, funniest I'll most genuine person they ever met.

    I'd say he's lovely in real life too! Can't imagine him being any different :)

    She seems a good tour guide- it's a job I did for three years and worked with a few borefests but I like her style.

    Everytime they put on an event to show off a pub/castle/hotel/hostel whatever on this programme ... I reckon most people come to meet Francis.

    I'd say it's a roller for printing or something

    Ah yeah but they might come back (even on the off-chance that Francis might be visiting!)

    I think Francis should have volunteered to have his face painted, start the ball rolling!
