主播大秀

The week-long series For Love or Money (5x45', 主播大秀 One) is one of three new programmes unveiled today, adding to the next generation of factual and entertainment hits in the schedule for mornings.

Night Force (10x45') has also been ordered for the 主播大秀 One mornings. Filmed in Tyne and Wear, known as the night shift capital of the UK, the two week run will shine a light on those working through the night so that we can start our day.

Call That Hard Work (10x45') is a fast-paced, competitive series that takes a fun and informative look at the world of work. From a zoo to the factory floor, the series will feature a diverse range of workplaces in which sets of three individuals, who are passionate and proud of what they do for a living, spend a day doing one another’s work to find out whose job is the hardest.

Carla-Maria Lawson, Acting Head of 主播大秀 Daytime and Early Peak, says: “Mornings on 主播大秀 daytime are really resonating with audiences. It's clear viewers appreciate modern, topical formats that reflect contemporary Britain. These new titles complement the slate of recent popular factual successes such as Fraud Squad NHS, Critical Incident and Defenders UK. I believe these new formats will enhance our offering to viewers of shows that give a fresh take on relevant issues”

Also confirmed today is the re-commission of established favourites in the 主播大秀 One and Two daytime and early peak schedules, including The Repair Shop (Series 5, 40x45', 主播大秀 One), Murder, Mystery And My Family (Series 3, 10x45', 主播大秀 One), Garden Rescue (Series 6, 35x45', 主播大秀 One) and House Of Games (Series 4, 100x30', 主播大秀 Two).

A number of the new formats which premiered earlier this year will also return for second series; The Customer Is Always Right (15x45', 主播大秀 One), Fraud Squad (10x45', 主播大秀 One), 主播大秀 Is Where The Art Is (15x45', 主播大秀 One) and Britain's Housing Scandal (10x45', 主播大秀 One).

Further information on each new series is below and transmission details will be confirmed at a later date.

For Love Or Money

5x45', 主播大秀 One

In a new investigative consumer series for 主播大秀 daytime, Kym Marsh and Ashley John-Baptiste explore a rapidly growing and particular type of scam - the so called ‘romance frauds’ that every day sees unsuspecting online daters conned out of tens of thousands of pounds.

In 2018 alone, 4,555 romance frauds were reported to Action Fraud, with victims conned out of £50 million (a huge rise on the year before, and double the figure in 2015). Alarming as these figures are, the true scale of the problem is likely to be much higher, due to some victims being too embarrassed to come forward.

Each episode will see Kym and Ashley look into one case, in the forensic style of a crime investigation. Their aim is to expose the sophisticated techniques fraudsters use to pull at individual’s heart strings, so they can empty their bank balance. They will find out how the criminals manage to appear so convincing, identify the real owners of the photos they’ve used to trick people into trusting them, unpick the other evidence they’ve supplied, and sometimes even make contact with the crooks themselves.

As each case unfolds, the pair will use the results of their investigations - as well as parallels drawn from similar retrospective cases - to resolve the lingering doubts and questions each case has asked them to nail. And there’ll be plenty of take-home advice to ensure that viewers can tell if the person they’re talking to online - for whatever reason - is who they say they are.

For Love Or Money was commissioned by Carla-Maria Lawson, the Commissioning Editor for 主播大秀 Daytime is Lindsay Bradbury.

Night Force

10x45', 主播大秀 One

Night Force shines a light on the people and agencies working busily and sometimes perilously throughout the night in order to keep Britain ticking over. The series is filmed in Tyne and Wear, the night shift capital of the UK, where an astonishing one in seven employees work through the night. This series will follow the secret life of a range of nightshift workers, lifting the lid on what really happens in Britain's factories, warehouses and on the highways whilst the rest of us sleep.

Night Force is Matchlight’s first 主播大秀 Daytime production and was commissioned by Muslim Alim, Commissioning Editor for 主播大秀 Daytime and Jo Street, out-going Commissioning Editor for 主播大秀 Daytime.

Call That Hard Work

10x45', 主播大秀 One

From a zoo to the factory floor, the ordinary to the extraordinary, the series will feature a diverse range of workplaces and immerse the contributors in a real day of their rivals’ tasks.
