Gareth Malone

Choirmaster Gareth Malone is hoping that the New Forest property market hits all the right notes as he enlists the help of Sonali Shah to find him and his family a new home in the Hampshire countryside. With mum Sian along for assistance, Gareth has one big request: to find a property with enough space to fit a grand piano! A beautifully converted former schoolhouse may just provide the answer, but the endless possibilities and potential at a 1920s thatched cottage really strike a chord with the music maestro.

Away from the property search, the trio meet some of the New Forest's most famous four-legged residents and learn all about the local practice of commoning, before taking to water on the promise of high-octane adventure and adrenaline on the south coast.
