00:00 Here's today's Derbyshire Times Video Bulletin.

00:03 A Derbyshire business will be appearing on a new BBC show today, shining a light on the

00:08 world of antiques.

00:09 Tin Man Scrap will be appearing on Village French Farmhouse, a new series which starts

00:14 today at 4.30pm on BBC1.

00:17 The series will follow three antiques dealers who head across the channel to a farmhouse

00:22 on a buying trip in the region's best antiques markets and compete to sell their French finds

00:26 online in a day.

00:28 Melissa Drabble from Tin Man Scrap in Dovehole said "It was great to be part of a new series

00:33 and a real eye-opener to see how French antiques differ from English ones.

00:38 For many years, Tin Man Scrap has been collecting treasures that other people have been throwing

00:41 away."

00:42 Melissa said "We see value where others don't, so we buy something, do it up and

00:47 sell it on."

00:49 Now it may seem like it's some time away, but Chatsworth House has already revealed that

00:53 the stately home will be sparkling with Christmas magic and its transformation into the Palace

00:57 of Advent.

00:58 Sights, sounds and scents of the festive season will fill 24 themed rooms at the stately home

01:04 from November 4th.

01:05 Visitors will be able to travel under archways adorned with candy canes, homemade Christmas

01:10 stockings and mistletoe, wander through snowflake showers and a glittering Christmas tree brooch

01:14 forest and get caught up in the hustle bustle of Santa's workshop with elves and a giant

01:19 exploding cracker.

01:21 The celebration continues in the garden where an illuminated light and sound trail will

01:25 embrace some of Chatsworth's best-loved garden landmarks, including the historic cascade,

01:29 whose 24 stone steps will be transformed into an illuminated, interactive musical instrument

01:34 that visitors can play, the giant keys lighting up to the sound of handbells.

01:39 A spectacular light show will transform the house into a giant Advent calendar.

01:44 Created by Derbyshire-based digital artist Illuminos, the light installation will animate

01:49 24 Christmas scenes emerging from 24 windows on the south facade of the house.

01:54 These will reflect the Christmas scenes within the house as well as Chatsworth's extensive

01:58 collection of art and artefacts.
