The F***ing Fulfords

The F***ing Fulfords

"The F***ing Fulfords" is a documentary-style programme directed by Norman Hull, shown in August 2004 about Francis Fulford and his family showcased on the United Kingdom's Channel 4 TV series Cutting Edge. The protagonist Fulford is the 24th in the line of his family to have inherited Great Fulford, an 800-year old crumbling manor in Dunsford, near Cheriton Bishop, Devon. He was educated at Milton Abbey. Great Fulford is on a convert|3000|acre|km2|sing=on estate. Fulford's son, Arthur, is in line to inherit the estate.

In the current Fulfords programme entitled "Why England's F****d" he raised some points about the decline of a sense of duty, a lack of responsibility and basic knowledge of England's history. After an incorrect answer from a Scottish woman on a basic question of English history, he turned to the camera and said "If I had my way I'd stick Hadrian's Wall up again."
