In Dewsbury, Jo Ounsley, husband Phil and concierge Sally are preparing for the first-time visit of Bengal Romeo, whose owner is jetting off to the Maldives to celebrate her birthday. In Wakefield, model railway enthusiast Simon George is putting the finishing touches to his 200-foot-long replica of a 1.5 mile stretch of real track he remembers from his childhood in the 1980s. Journalist Christa Ackroyd visits the Wentworth Woodhouse stately home near Rotherham, which is twice as wide as Buckingham Palace and is the largest single house ever built for a private family in the whole of Europe. And the village of Crakehall is the location for a feisty competition when Jonathan Firby's team take on local rival Dickie Broach in a game of Quoits. The traditional northern game was popular among the Yorkshire mining communities in the 1880s and is now enjoining a resurgence.
