#SmallScreenScenes @QuestTV @Discovery #WhomYouKnow Quest Orders New Salvage Hunters & Spin-Offs After Smash-Hit Ratings

Quest, Discovery UK’s factual entertainment free to air channel, is announcing a raft of commissions including three new series of Salvage Hunters and new signings for its spin-off series’ following record ratings and audience engagement this year.

Quest’s latest series of Salvage Hunters is on track to become the highest rating series of the franchise ever, averaging impressive audiences of 560k. Premiering earlier this year, Salvage Hunters: The Restorers and Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars were instant ratings successes and became Quest’s biggest new series launches ever.

Salvage Hunters returns with 45 new episodes as salvage expert Drew Pritchard crisscrosses the UK in search of hidden gems. Produced by Curve Media, series 13 starts with an exciting move for the team, as Drew closes down the warehouse and makes the Conwy shop his new base. It also features antiques fairs around the UK as well as special international episodes, where Drew hopes to source antiques that will keep him ahead of the curve.

Produced by Curve Media, Salvage Hunters: The Restorers (20×60’) and Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars (20×60’) are back for a second series. Salvage Hunters: The Restorers goes behind-the-scenes to meet the team at the heart of Salvage Hunters, as they restore all range of items from sofas and tables, to high-value curios and memorabilia. Drew Pritchard is also back with Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars teaming up with Paul Cowland on a motoring mission, as they scour the UK for classic cars to buy, restore and sell on.

Scrap Kings (20×60) and Mega Shippers (8×60) both produced by back2back also return to Quest. Scrap Kingsshowcases the incredible and innovative feats of engineering involved in bringing down a variety of structures, from factories to bridges, chimneys and multi-story carparks. Mega Shippers follows the complex workings of some of the most highly-skilled shippers at ports around the world. From companies specialised in shipping hazardous bulk, to the delivery of multi-million pound yachts, we follow the high pressure shipments from departure to arrival.

“Quest had a record-breaking quarter in Q1 this year, and we’re incredibly excited to serve our superfans more of the smash-hit series that drove those ratings. Salvage Hunters is our most successful franchise ever, and the new series and two spin-off shows promise to give fans more of the treasure hunting missions they love. Meanwhile, the expert teams from Scrap Kings and Mega Shippers are back with more showstopping demolitions and high stakes shipping drama,” said Simon Downing, SVP, Head of Quest and Eurosport UK.

The slate was ordered by Simon Downing and Ed Sayer, Victoria Noble was the Commissioning Editor.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
