Have you ever wondered how we make a show like Help We Bought A Hotel?

For this series our film crews have spent many hours with our contributors across the UK and Europe, coordinated by a hard-working office team.

As well as finding great contributors and making fab telly, we’re also striving to make productions like Help We Bought A Hotel as sustainable as it can be.

From using hybrid cars in the UK to working with incredible local shooters across Europe to reduce air travel to a strict minimum, it’s our aim to improve the sustainability of very show we make.

Clearly hotels are at the forefront of this series, so it’s important that the accommodation we chose for our shooting teams were also sustainable as possible – from using certified ‘green’ hotels where possible to the small things like re-using towels.

Such sad news to hear that Kate Dobson passed away yesterday. Kate was a regular editor with us for almost two decades.

From Animal 24/7 to series such as Evicted and Renovation Nation, and most recently Teen Mom UK.

Lots of people, both in Yorkshire and across in Manchester, knew her too.

Our thoughts are with Steve and her boys. 💔
