Gavin & Stacey star to host new BBC show celebrating charity shops and upcycling
Best known for playing Stacey in the beloved series, Page will now host Shift the Thrift, a BBC daytime show that celebrates thrifting, upcycling, and the buzz of live-stream auctions. Filming begins across the UK this September.
Contestants will be in a race against the clock as they hunt for charity shop treasures, transform them with flair, and sell them in high-energy, live-streamed auctions.
A shopping list that always includes an item to be refashioned will be provided, plus a fun scavenger hunt challenge. Contestants then work with some of Britain’s top social media upcyclers to customise their finds before pitching them to the public.
Page, an avid thrifter, has revealed that she herself had some success thrifting a vase as part of the series.
“I upcycled a vase I got for about £2, and live on the auction I was drawing on it and doing things. The money went up, up and up,” said the 49-year-old actress, from Mumbles.
“I think we ended up selling it for more than £100.”
“I absolutely love charity shops and have been customising and upcycling clothes for years, so this show is right up my street.
“It’s fun, fast, and gives people great ideas on how to find value in second-hand treasure – all while supporting brilliant local causes.”
Owen Gay, Executive Producer and Co-Founder of One Tribe, said:
“We’ve built a reputation for telling uplifting, people-focused stories across the UK, and this format lets us do that while championing sustainability and local causes.
“Charity shops are treasure troves full of stories, and we can’t wait for viewers to share in the thrill of the hunt and the buzz of the auction.”
Lindsay Bradbury, Commissioning Editor for BBC Daytime, added:
“Shift the Thrift is a timely celebration of creativity, sustainability, and entrepreneurial spirit. This is a programme that the whole family can sit down and watch together and might even inspire audiences to get out there and start thrifting.”
Julian Carey, Commissioning Editor for BBC Cymru Wales, said:
“We love a bargain, and we love the thrill of the hunt, and this series is all about the fun to be had rummaging for treasures and tracking down unique finds.
“It’s also a celebration of our network of charity shops, which are the backbone of fundraising in Britain and a brilliant model for how we can shop sustainably and cheaply while supporting good causes at the same time. As such, this feels like a timely and warm-hearted TV treat.”
BBC One and iPlayer have commissioned 12 half-hour episodes of Shift the Thrift, with filming starting across the UK this September. Six of the programmes will be based in Wales.

Michael Sheen fronting explosive new BBC series digging into South Wales chemical contamination claims
The two‑part series, Buried (working title), will see the Hollywood star return to the communities where he grew up as he tries to uncover the truth behind long‑standing allegations of “forever chemicals” buried near farms and homes.
For Sheen, this isn’t just another documentary. It’s personal. Almost ten years ago he met researcher and whistleblower Douglas Gowan, who warned that dangerous chemicals had been dumped in the area and could pose a long‑term threat to public health. Gowan died before his warnings were taken seriously — and Sheen now wants to know whether he was right.
Michael Sheen said:
This is a story that has troubled Wales for decades, and for me, it’s deeply personal. In this series, we try to uncover the truth about what is beneath our feet, hear from the communities affected, and understand how something so insidious could stay buried for so long.
The series builds on the award‑winning BBC Sounds podcast Buried: The Last Witness, which first exposed the scale of the allegations. Now, cameras follow Sheen as he meets families who say they’ve lived with the consequences, councillors who’ve raised concerns, and scientists and journalists who’ve spent years trying to piece together the region’s toxic past.
The BBC says the investigation is packed with claims of conspiracy, complicity and denial — and asks how a secret of this scale could have remained hidden for so long.
Jack Bootle, BBC Head of Specialist Factual, said:
All across the UK, we’re only just coming to terms with the possible impact of ‘forever chemicals’. As soon as I heard that Michael was so personally invested in the story, I knew this was a unique opportunity to create a series that will get people talking.
BBC Cymru Wales says the programme will shock audiences both inside and outside Wales.
Nick Andrews, Head of Commissioning for BBC Cymru Wales, said:
This is a hugely important series anchored by Michael and his extraordinary connection to the story. It’s an investigation that will surprise many.
The two‑hour series is being co‑produced by Wall to Wall and Smoke Trail Productions, the team behind the original podcast. It will air on BBC Two, BBC One Wales and BBC iPlayer.
A release date has not yet been confirmed, but the BBC says the series is in production and will be broadcast later this year.

CW: Animated video clip of Welsh animated comedy The Golden Cobra, with very strong language.
When people learn I'm from #Wales, they often assume I must love #gavinandstacey, and the answer is no I fucking don't. I have never found it funny, don't relate to the characters and #jamescorden is an arse.
On the other hand, I can totally relate to the characters in #thegoldencobra, showing on #bbcwales right now and available on #iplayer. Finally a Welsh based comedy that is actually funny.

Anyone else on here watching #TheGoldenCobra on #BBCWales? I think it might be my favourite new programme of 2024, brilliantly anarchic. It’s on the iPlayer for anyone who wants to give it a go, and episodes are only 12-15mins long.
