It made the name of Francis Fulford and his family when it was aired as part of Channel 4 TV series Cutting Edge. The documentary told the story of the family of Francis, who inherited Great Fulford, the 800-year old crumbling manor house on a 3,000-acre (12 km2) estate in Dunsford, near Cheriton Bishop, Devon.
During the show, with their mansion becoming increasingly dilapidated and the family in financial difficulty, Francis concocts several elaborate schemes to make money. The schemes include using a metal detector to search the family's 3000-acre estate for treasure, searching for telephone cables so that he can invoice British Telecom, selling guided tours of the mansion, conjuring up stories of ghosts, and harvesting trees. Meanwhile, his wife Kishanda tries to solve the family's financial difficulties by gambling on horse races.
Oblivious to the family's turmoil, the four Fulford children entertain themselves by fighting, indoor cricket, throwing mud at one another, and watching television. At one point in the episode, Kishanda becomes so angry with her children .
