Castle Manager, John, and his team are awake before sunrise to welcome the Lorraine breakfast show who, to mark the film's release, are broadcasting live from the castle's famous grand saloon. Unfortunately, the show's visit coincides with the busiest day of the year for coach parties and it's a race against the clock to get the crew out before the first bus load arrives.
