Fulford Manor is a gorgeous grade one listed house in Exeter. The house has been in the Fulford family for 800 years. Francis is the 28th generation to inherit the home where he lives with his wife, Kishanda and 3 sons. However, the couple have officially run out of money. The house only makes them $11,500 a year, which is spent paying back the debts they owe. As a result, there hasn’t been any money for renovations and the couple are struggling. Francis wants his eldest to inherit the home in a better state than he did; but at this rate, they’ll lose it first. Businessman, Simon Davis is on the case to try and help the couple keep their doors open. But will they take his help?

The husband could make millions with that voice! Amazing!!!
These people are blind. Too posh to say thsy are broke. I pity their child if they inherit the dump
they live in the clouds. They don't want to make money, in no hurry while their house falls down around them.
A 60-minute documentary exists called "The F***ing Fulfords" It follows "the eccentric Francis Fulford & his family as they strive to save their stately home" and originally premiered Wednesday, August 4, 2004, on Channel 4. Someone's comment on it: "The trashy English descendants of nobility's estate is in disrepair. They have no money & engage in shenanigans. At one point, the mother gets angry because the kids won't listen so she chucks their TV in the lake."
Yeah of course the house looks the way it does
Delusional and rude couple! No bueno! 🤦🏾♀️
I can't help feeling like it was all an act. These two lunatics seem surreal. 😂
What a waste of the show’s time. The owners entitled attitude is disgusting.
They deserve to lose everything.
What a rude arrogant couple of pseudo aristocrats. They deserve all the misfortune they are creating for themselves. Uncouth slobs.
Such a lovely house, with very hardheaded owners! And the bill will come do the full of the money can come in with attitudes like they both Avenue. It seems like they're fighting each other much harder than working a good idea for the house. Each one likes to think they have the answer and the other one is wrong. Unfortunately this is an attitude found most commonly in people Mary many years,
. Because each has learned or at least things they have learned that they are right and the other one is wrong and who needs his/her views anyway. Then they just go about living in the same house continuing the same old same old Activities expecting different results. After all Isn't that what they say fools do? You know doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results each time. I do hope you can keep us posted as to what actually happens. I do hope I'm wrong but I strongly suspect I am not. Now they need a bad wind storm rain storm, or active nature and they will lose everything with damage. I feel so sorry for them, as they will have nothing to pass on to their children.
Could be a stunning venue for special occasions…. But clearly the old man at the head of the family will not change. There have been many TV shows on him and the estate…. If he doesn't loose the family estate, the next in line will….
Without a doubt Francis and Kishanda are the biggest impediment to the success of that house.
I don't know which one is worse. But they seem to be made by each other. I can imagine nothing worse than staying in this home. Ghastly place that needs a complete makeover. And you would need to stay without the hosts as well. They have no idea.
I’m very sad to see a property so beautiful and going to ruin for the future owners
I remember the mini documentary about the Fulford's a few years ago. The whole family are mental!!
This was originally aired back in 2012 or so. What is the current state of Fulford? Did they end up selling? Current updates would be interesting.
I suspect they have money , and will use it as they wish
This was painful to watch…a testament to the fact that these people do not deserve to have this estate. I find it hilarious that this git wrote a book to 'give advice to owners (of big houses) and their heirs about how to survive and thrive' – per Wikipedia…Oh the irony
Thank God "aristos" aren't running the government.
Being in their own way will be a costly learning lesson, which is quite sad. The house is lovely, really!
Off with his head!
By the looks of their website they are doing something but damn, that's one crazy couple.
I can't continue to watch this smelly old sock another moment. This is what a lifetime of being humored does to someone. What a silly old fool. I wonder how he felt when his ridiculous and deluded existence was exposed to the world. If it weren't such a notable structure, I'd say let it fall down around his ears. The family has managed to keep things running for 800 years. How must it feel to be the one who lost it all through blind stupidity?
"I always wanted to leave it better than I found it."
One could hardly tell from his actions or lack thereof.
They are doomed for failure! Obviously don't care that someone legitimately has viable ideas to help them. These people are so ridiculous, it has to be a put on, because no one would be daft enough to reject expert help!
poor rich and entitled, they will loose it all.
Oh she is so rude ….
Her arrogance was beyond comprehension – repulsive and the clown she was married to … I don’t know how Simon lasted as long as he did. Can you imagine having someone go to the trouble Simon did to help you save “your home” , not his, and have the Gaul to act like your the one doing him a favor with your wonderful presence.What a waste of Simons time; I wonder how many people were praying to be the ones Simon chose to help and he ends up with these ungrateful losers. That place was such a dump and dirty looking; can’t imagine what they’ll do now.
A spoiled, slightly deranged, absolutely feckless couple, if they lose everything – that would be fine by me. I wonder if their children are an improvement or more of the same. Their house is big and unfriendly and unappealing – seems to have a total of three good rooms; If it's gone tomorrow – sad for history, but not a major tragedy.
I've never witnessed such disagreeable, snobbish and childish behavior on this show. Continue to live in your delusional LA LA land and you'll see the dismal outcome in time. Absolutely appalling.
She doesn't want to talk about money, she only wants to impress her friends and be the hostess with the mostest.
Arrogance, arrogance, arrogance. Im so disappointed that Simon gave such professional advice to people who do not want to listen. There are so many people who could take this opportunity and run with it and it is a huge shame that this couple chose to ignore everything offered to them.
They are snobbish; ite the silk purse out of a pigs nose. They were on the show How Clean Is Your House and the house was filthy. These 2 must extricate their heads from their bottoms or lose their home.
I read Francis"s take on the programme and I actually see his point to a degree, however the fact remains they need to step up now before the manor is lost for future generations. Kishandra was definately a difficult person to deal with, may be editing made her look worse than she actually was
Sad.
Apparently they expect someone to just hand them the money to save the manor. They don't know what it means to "earn" your place and now refuse to put in the work.
I popped around throughout the video very briefly. It only took mere seconds to recoil in repulse from the owners spirits. Spoiled to the Core perhaps.
That woman appears to be medicated. Perhaps her grumpy cohort is as well.
I can just imagine that couple reading all of the honest comments about them. Narcissism certainly redefines reality to suit their own perversion.
She is an absolute relic what a sour faced dour unpleasant woman
The owner speaks like he's in pain. Or got a stick up his poepol. Arrogance at its best too
tbh that house is quite ugly from the outside and maybe NOT saving it is a better idea. The owners are both lazy and not living in reality. Grounds look pretty thoughl.
There used to be a reality TV show featuring this family, apparently when Kishanda was 39 and kids were still in the house. Now there is a website which shows three restored grand rooms and the eight bedrooms for weddings and other events. Drone footage shows the wallpaper is still peeling in the grand staircase, but the place does look pretty impressive, none the less. The website mentions electric blankets provided for the bedrooms, so still not heat? It does look like they're making a go of it, though. I saw an obituary for a Kishanda Fulford from 2021.
He was there to help. The wife is the most arrogant head in the sand women I've ever watched. I would not at all be surprised if they loose home.
Just saw this today, November 5th, 2022, for the first. Has anyone gone back, since? I would like to see if their eldest son has inherited the manor, yet?
Perhaps as a younger generation, he would be willing to listen to reason
Kishanda needs to be sectioned and Francis wasted a much-needed opportunity. Frankly, the only ones I feel sorry for are their children and the house.
Those two don't deserve that house. They are both arrogant clueless spoiled brats deserve to lose their house.
You can’t run away from your responsibilities when you own a house like this
I love those words AND felt sorry for Simon – which shows that you just cannot help some people.
Bravo for the effort and creativity!
Wow! What a pair of immature children!! No mature adults in that household! So disappointing 😞
This is what happens when cousins marry.
