S1 E1: With 1,300 rooms, Hampton Court is one of the largest palaces in Britain, and it's not just the building that's enormous. The outside is a vast expanse of gardens, ponds, parks, and stables. We follow a day of activity to see how its team of warders, its wildlife officer, and its head coachman tend to their visitors, royal deer herds, and rare Shire horses. We also leave the present day to examine the private lives of the Tudors, focusing on Jane Seymour and the immense challenges she faced to produce a male heir for Henry VIII.
