Rick Edwards on Great British Castle Rescue, AI & the Hidden Cost of History
On the latest episode of The MarshyCast, I’m joined by presenter Rick Edwards to talk about his new show Great British Castle Rescue, which premieres on Sky History.
Rick admits he’d never given much thought to castles before working on the series, but filming quickly opened his eyes to just how much restoration and upkeep these historic buildings require.
We talk about the incredible work being done to preserve some of Britain’s most iconic structures, and how initiatives such as The National Lottery Open Week are helping support heritage sites across the country.
Rick also shares his thoughts on the programme’s use of AI to help bring the past back to life, and how technology can help audiences understand history in new ways.
And because no conversation stays serious forever, we finish by asking which football team he thinks best resembles a crumbling old castle.
