The programme makers decided to take up the story of the daughter of Colonel Birch, Alice, who during the Civil war was drowned in the River Wye with her lover, Charles whilst attempting to escape the Roundhead siege on Goodrich Castle.

They also visited the White Lion Inn at Wilton to talk to Landlord and Landlady, Dave and Jacqui Newman about a tunnel under the road, leading to Wilton Castle which was used by religious dignitaries during the middle ages. Having sampled some of the local cider from 'Broome Farm' at the Inn, Chris was eventually thrown out of the pub by some drinkers from the Forest of Dean because he asked about 'the bear'. He and Ingrid then went on to Broome Farm itself at Peterstow to witness a 'Wassail' cider apple fertility ritual and sample even more cider.

As would be the case with most men, Chris asked his wife to drive the Bentley so that he could get plenty of sampling in before sleeping it off to begin the next day's filming.

I went along on Thursday, 4th May to meet Chris, Ingrid and the crew from 'Flame TV' at the White Lion Inn and travelled with the party to Broome Farm to photograph the filming for Wyenot News and the Ross Gazette. I have to say I had a great time in doing so. The couple were extremely friendly, chatting to local children, Stevie and Madison Cooke (aged 7 and 3). They even allowed a very nervous, Tina Jones to interview them in the White Lion for a short video clip which can be seen on Wyenot Television by clicking here. Tina performed extremely well, especially considering that she was only given five minutes notice of the event and I am very proud of her.
