00:03 Every year, millions of us flock to the houses and gardens
00:07 of the National Trust, taking a step back in time
00:12 to delve into our history.
00:15 You can imagine knights on their horses clattering
00:17 over the cobblestone.
00:18 Whether in the grandest residence--
00:21 We are coming into Winston Churchill's study.
00:24 --or a two up, two down.
00:26 It really is the birthplace of the Beatles.
00:28 This humble terrace house.
00:31 But out of sight is a hidden world.
00:34 I love being able to go through those closed doors,
00:37 the ones that say private.
00:39 Just slow down, Jamie.
00:40 We're going to have to start rotating in a second.
00:43 With dedicated experts across the country--
00:46 I think this is about as delicate as cleaning gets.
00:50 --battling to save treasured objects.
00:52 If we didn't intervene now, they'd just break apart.
00:56 I was getting particularly nervous.
00:58 You thought it could rip any moment.
01:00 This is quite terrifying.
01:02 Revealing secrets--
01:03 Oh my goodness.
01:05 Oh my gosh.
01:07 --that tell the story of us all.
01:09 You can just stumble upon a treasure.
01:12 And that's something I love about this job.
