Pair of Lifestyle Shows Returning to BBC One

BBC One has commissioned RDF West to produce a seventh season of Eat Well for Less? and a fifth run of Shop Well for Less? for the channel.

The new 6×60-minute seasons of both shows will begin filming later this year. The sixth season of Eat Well for Less? started airing in May, and season four of Shop Well for Less? currently broadcasts on BBC One on Wednesdays at 8 p.m.

The Gregg Wallace- and Chris Bavin-fronted Eat Well for Less? will be returning to show more families that they can save significant amounts of money on food and reduce their waste, without scrimping on quality or nutrition. By using simple tips, tricks, swaps and easy recipes, they can slash a weekly food budget.

In Shop Well for Less?, The One Show’s Alex Jones and BBC Breakfast’s Steph McGovern tackle families who are over-spending on products—from branded cleaning spray to designer clothes—aiming to change the way people shop, without changing their lifestyle.

All worldwide rights to Eat Well for Less? and Shop Well for Less? are owned by Banijay Rights.

Ricky Cooper, BBC commissioning executive, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled Eat Well for Less? and Shop Well for Less? are returning to BBC One. Whether saving us money, improving our diets or showing us all simple ways to live more sustainably, these series continue to delight and entertain in equal measure.”

Jim Allen, managing director of RDF, said: “Less is more is the blindingly simple mantra of both shows and that message and mission is as relevant today as it was when the series were launched. Whether it’s exorbitantly priced, branded moisturizers or eye-wateringly expensive ‘luxury’ muesli, both shows remain ready to take on and tame conspicuous consumption. And have fun while doing it!”
