Every autumn, Britain's National Trust puts its 300 houses "to bed." But it's far from a time for rest. What happens after the visitors have gone is extraordinary. This docu-series reveals the world's biggest spring cleaning, which requires not just elbow grease but in-depth, specialized knowledge of the unique history of each house, along with its objects and grounds.
