BBC looking for derelict historic homes

New BBC Series looking for derelict historic houses to be restored

Endemol UK would like to find owners of derelict, historic homes for a new BBC television series, being produced by Remarkable Television. The programme would follow them as they save architectural gems from ruin and restore them into wonderful 21st century homes, whilst turning detective to unravel the properties’ extraordinary lives.

The restoration process will bring to light the difficult decisions about what ought to be saved and what can be sacrificed to make way for a 21st century home, in addition to answering questions such as how tough is it to balance sympathy for the past with the needs of modern day living?

At the end of it all, we’ll see important historical properties saved from dereliction and brought back to life to become wonderful homes once more.

Sounds exciting, and I for one can’t wait to see the programme once it’s made. If you are renovating a property, interested in being part of the series and want to discover more about its structural and social history, please call 0333 577 7740 or e-mail homes@endemoluk.com with your name and a few details of your property. (Calls from landlines are charged at 1 pence per minute and mobile costs may vary)
