Henry Cole and Sam Lovegrove are back on screen, on a mission to find vintage treasures in the nation’s sheds, in new episodes of Shed & Buried.
In this hugely popular returning series, motorcycle-mad Henry Cole and his best friend, engineering genius Sam Lovegrove, resume their quest to discover amazing vintage vehicles to buy, fix up and move on for a tidy profit.
Motorbikes, cars, tractors, yachts, military vehicles, auto-memorabilia … whatever it is, Henry and Sam will snap it up, as long as they think there is some money in it for them. Over the years this double-act have found more often than not that the very best deals to be had are lying buried in Britain’s sheds.
Ten brand new 30-minute episodes of Shed & Buried are due to broadcast on Quest (Freeview channel number 12) in May and will also be available to stream on the discovery+ website at www.discoveryplus.co.uk.
History fans will really dig a brand new five-part series starting on ITV4 from 14 March – Henry Cole’s Great British Treasure Hunt.
Best known for Shed & Buried, Find It Fix It Flog It and The Motorbike Show, Henry will be taking a short break from digging around in sheds in a new quest to unearth ancient artefacts buried beneath Britain’s green and pleasant land.
Joining him will be five dedicated teams of the UK’s top metal detectorists, who have been given a unique opportunity to investigate some of the country’s finest historical sites, getting 48 hours to go where no detectorist has gone before.
Their finds will be assessed and scored by expert judges. Archaeologist Dr Susheela Burford (the show’s Finds Liaison Officer) will evaluate the historical interest and significance of each item, then award a number of points, from five for the most interesting, down to one for the least.
To add some extra excitement, auctioneer and independent valuer Adam Partridge then takes a look and hands out a bonus point for the find with the highest monetary value.
Scores accumulate across the five episodes, shown over successive evenings from Monday to Friday, and whichever duo has the highest at the end of the week wins the prestigious GBTH trophy – and the satisfaction of being judged the best amongst their detectorist peers!
Henry said: “I’m used to unearthing motoring ‘treasure’ in sheds and barns, but literally digging deeper into UK history has opened up a whole new world to me and I’ve met some really amazing people along the way.”
Henry and the detectorist duos start their search at Ardington House in Oxfordshire – built between 1719 and 1721 – before heading off around the country to another location for each following episode. These include the building rumoured to be the Greene Knight’s Castle in the Arthurian story of Sir Gawain and the Greene Knight and one of the world’s most prestigious schools.
Episode one of Henry Cole’s Great British Treasure Hunt will air on ITV4 at 8pm on 14th of March 2022, then daily until Friday 18th March.
Popular automotive restoration TV show Shed and Buried is on a nationwide search for more of the UK’s most interesting sheds, filled with vintage vehicles and motoring memorabilia ripe for rescuing.
Motorcycle fanatic Henry Cole and his best friend, engineering genius Sam Lovegrove, are heading back out on the road as they continue their quest to discover hidden treasure buried in the nation’s sheds, garages, barns and outhouses.
Their hunt for all things car, motorbike, tractor, boat – or any iteration of mechanical curiosity – is just the starting point for the spanner-wielding double act, as they fulfil their need to buy, fix up and sell, with the hope of making a potentially ‘tidy’ profit.
If you, or someone you know, also has a passion for all things automotive and owns a fantastic shed, garage or lock-up that you think may fit the bill for Henry and Sam to come and have a rummage in, then it could feature on the upcoming TV series.
All filming will be strictly adhering to the latest government guidelines, in response to the ongoing coronavirus situation, and every care will be taken to ensure that the location of properties will not be unnecessarily revealed.
