Ricochet Producing New BBC Daytime Addition

BBC Daytime has commissioned Ricochet to produce the new 20-part series The Vintage French Farmhouse for BBC One.

Produced from Ricochet’s Glasgow office, The Vintage French Farmhouse follows some familiar faces from the world of antique dealers as the team head across “la Manche” in search of vintage bargains, set against the landscape and lifestyle of rural France.

Dealers include Adi Higham, Ian Humphries, Jo Roberts, Jacqui Harris and Harry Khwaja.

Commissioner for BBC Daytime, Muslim Alim, commented, “We’re looking forward to showing audiences the delights and delicacies of the south of France. This program will not only excite audiences with vintage finds and haggling tips from the experts but open up a new way to escape their homes and explore the flea markets of France.”

Executive producer for Ricochet, Rae Gilder, added, “The Vintage French Farmhouse will be an escapist treat that shows us that there is good money to be made buying and selling in one of the most beautiful places in the world.”

Rob Butterfield, head Ricochet’s Glasgow office and executive producer of the series, said, “Provence is an untapped treasure trove of antiques for our insatiable hunters. BBC Daytime viewers will be familiar with some of our antique dealers from the likes of The Bidding Room and to see them in the stunning French countryside will be a treat for 2023.”
