On this February 27th, this episode is brought to you by NordVPN, fast, reliable, online privacy. Links in the episode description. Here's what's shaping the UK right now. Comedian Alan Carr has bought 8-in-castle in the Scottish borders for more than 3,250,000 pounds. The sprawling estate dates back to 1845 and stands out as a prime example of Gothic revival architecture. At five stories tall with 17 bedrooms, it comes with 160 acres of gardens, parkland, cottages for rental income, and even A. Narrow gauge railway on the grounds. The previous owners had already done major renovations, making it a standout property on the market. Estate agents described it as one of Scotland's most significant historic homes, blending architectural beauty with plenty of privacy and space. Carr, nearing his 50th birthday and fresh off the celebrity traders, called it his version of a mid-life crisis splurge, skipping the sports car.

For a full castle, for that price, he could have grabbed a family home in London's Bell size park, or a two bedroom spot in Chelsea instead. Now a new TV series is in production following Carr's efforts to transform the massive place into a livable family home. The show, with a working title of Castleman, comes from the team behind Clarkson's farm. Filming is underway, so we'll soon see how Carr tackles Castle Life and what the next chapter holds for this border's gem. 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1
