Encyclopedia > The F***ing Fulfords

The F***ing Fulfords is a documentary-style programme about Francis Fulford and his family. 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 3000 acre estate. Fulford's son, Arthur, is in line to inherit the estate. Dunsford is a village in Devon, England, just inside the Dartmoor National Park. ... Devon is a large county in South West England, bordering on Cornwall to the west, Dorset and Somerset to the east. ... Milton Abbey in Dorset was a Benedictine foundation, but only part of the church now survives and is used as a parish church. ...


The current Fulford of Great Fulford is a highly amusing character and terrific observer of modern day England and America (albeit from a rather aristocratic perspective). In his programme entitled "Why England's F*****" he raised some pertinent points about the decline of a sense of duty, a lack of responsibility and basic knowledge of England's history. Amusingly, 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."


His observation on modern day America was equally amusing.
