DIY SOS RENEWED FOR TWO FURTHER SERIES ON BBC ONE

The BBC announced that South Shore has won the competitive tender to produce DIY SOS, the BBC’s hugely popular home renovation programme.

The tendering of returning series forms part of the BBC’s contestability requirements and our commitment to commission the best programmes for audiences, regardless of who makes them.

The tender was launched in December 2023 and following a strong competition, South Shore’s bid scored highest against the published criteria. The programme will be produced out of South Shore’s base in Cardiff.

The contract is for 6 x 60’episodes per series, for 2 years (12 episodes in total) commencing with delivery from late Spring 2025.

Catherine Catton, Head of Commissioning, Factual Entertainment & Events, says: “DIY SOS is a much-loved part of the BBC schedule and I’m confident that South Shore will continue to cherish the brand and ensure its ongoing success in the years ahead. This was an extremely competitive bidding process and we would like to commend the shortlisted producers for the high quality and comprehensive bids they put forward.”

DIY SOS is available on BBC iPlayer.
