UKTV's free streaming service, U, to get exclusive Bangers & Cash specials from Air TV
UKTV has commissioned Bangers & Cash: Live (1x18'), as well as two new series of Bangers & Cash: Under the Bonnet (3x18'), from Air TV, exclusively for its free streaming service, U.
Bangers & Cash: Live will follow classic car auctioneers the Mathewson family as they attend the special live event, the centrepiece of which is a Mathewson's classic car and memorabilia auction. Since the pandemic, regular auctions have seen mainly internet and phone bidders. At the sold out live event, taking place only a few miles away from Mathewson's HQ at Scampston Hall, North Yorkshire on Saturday August 10th and Sunday August 11th, there's a chance for fans to witness and participate in the live bidding once again. Bangers & Cash: Live will showcase the highlights of the event and be narrated by Toby Foster, who also voices the main series, and will be available on demand on U from Thursday 29th August.
Also, returning due to popular demand is, Bangers & Cash: Under the Bonnet - revealing previously unseen footage to give viewers a deeper insight into the stories behind some of the cars that have featured on the Bangers & Cash and Bangers & Cash Restoring Classics programmes. Also narrated by Toby Foster, three previously commissioned episodes, featuring a Mini Cooper S, a Saab 96 and a Lotus Esprit, are already available on U. The newly ordered episodes will feature the extensive stories behind projects and restorations, including those of an Audi Quattro, a Mazda MX-5, a Rolls Royce Silver Spirit, a Lotus Elan, and a Ford Escort Mexico. The first three of the six new episodes are expected to be available on demand on U in December 2024, with the remainder following in Q1 2025.
Bangers & Cash: Live and Bangers & Cash: Under the Bonnet are produced by Air TV. Andy Joynson and Morland Sanders are executive producers and the series producer is Holly Pywell. The shows have been commissioned for U by Tracy-Jean, Commissioning Executive, with Helen Nightingale, Head of Factual and Factual Entertainment, and ordered for U by Head of Digital Content, Paula Fitzgerald and Hilary Rosen, Director of Commissioning.
"U gives us a great opportunity to give our loyal viewers more of what they want - namely more Bangers & Cash!" Tracy-Jean said, U gives us a great opportunity to give our loyal viewers more of what they want - namely more Bangers & Cash! Like all the best car restorations - the ethos is nothing should go to waste and we know viewers love that extra insight. The live event will be an amazing weekend and we wanted the fans who couldn't travel to North Yorkshire to enjoy the atmosphere and excitement at being able to see a Mathewson's auction in person again.
Morland Sanders said, We're delighted these commissions for U give Bangers fans the chance to watch even more Mathewsons. UKTV has done a great job putting the live event together and we can't wait to film the auction there. The level of craftsmanship that goes into some of our restorations is incredible, so it's wonderful we can showcase that in the Under the Bonnet specials as well.
The Bangers & Cash series continues to reach new heights on U, with views to the series across 2023 growing by +25% YoY on the service. Across its first 7 days, the premiere of Bangers & Cash S9 was the #1 most-viewed episode among all content on U. Bangers & Cash S10 begins tonight, Thursday 1st August, at 8pm on U&YESTERDAY. A new series of the spin-off sister series, Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics also airs before the end of the year. Both programmes have also been commissioned for further series.
Viewers can watch U here.
