Hungary\u2019s VIASAT3 has acquired the rights for an adaptation of The Salvage Squad<\/em> from Primitives, marking the first remake for the format.<\/p>\n

The Hungarian iteration, locally titled REnov\u00e1l\u00f3k\u2014Lak\u00e1s \u00fajrahasznos\u00edtva<\/em>, is being produced by Show&Game. Each episode sees two households given three days and \u20ac1,000 to transform their old interiors, furniture and fittings into showstoppers, guided by fashion-forward designers, up-cycling experts and imaginative tradespeople.<\/p>\n

The twist is that the salvage squad cannot buy anything new. They must use only second-hand, free-cycled, rescued, up-cycled, homemade or pre-used materials.<\/p>\n

The Hungarian adaptation is set to bow on VIASAT3 in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

The original series aired in prime time on Virgin One Ireland. It was produced by Amino TV.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were looking for a factual entertainment format with a twist in the home improvement genre\u2014something that goes beyond a usual makeover show,\u201d said \u00c9va Kis-Bocz, channel director of CEE for VIASAT3\u2019s operator Antenna Entertainment. \u201cThe Salvage Squad<\/em> immediately stood out. One of Antenna Entertainment\u2019s long-term goals is to integrate sustainability into both its operations and its content production, and this format aligns perfectly with that mission. We believe television has a vital role in public education, and I\u2019m especially pleased that VIASAT3 is bringing a show to audiences that is not only visually engaging and entertaining, but also socially valuable\u2014encouraging viewers to think and live more sustainably.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emma Gosling, Primitives\u2019 London-based sales and acquisitions manager, commented, \u201cWe are so pleased that this entertaining and timely format is finding its way to Hungarian audiences. As you\u2019d expect in a home makeover show, there are stunning renovations aplenty, but it additionally addresses the growing environmental impact of \u2018fast furniture,\u2019 which is clogging up landfill sites, showing us that up-cycling, restoring and renovating what we already own is not only good for our planet and our pockets, but intensely satisfying.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
