While fans may have to wait a little longer to see the Christmas special, they’ll be glad to know that the series won’t be coming off air anytime soon as it’s been commissioned for another two years.
Host Jay Blades made the announcement at the TV BAFTAs in May after the programme picked up a gong in the Daytime category. “I think we’ve been commissioned for another two years if I’m not mistaken,” he said in the winners’ room. “We are going to do more. We’ve just won a BAFTA so I think they’re going to want us to stay on air.”

Where is The Repair Shop filmed?
The Repair Shop is filmed at the Weald and Downland Living Museum in Singleton, which is a charming village in the Lavant Valley in Chichester, West Sussex.
The famous barn is actually a building called the Court Barn, which dates from the late 17th or early 18th century and was originally built in Lee-on-the-Solent, Hampshire. In 1977, the barn was dismantled and transported to Singleton, where it was reconstructed in 1979.
