Filming has begun at Bristol’s Bottle Yard on a new television show hosted by Noel Edmonds – his third at the fast-growing TV and film studios.
Cheap Cheap Cheap which will be broadcast on Channel 4 later this year, is set inside an eccentric general store filled with weird and wonderful items and even quirkier staff. 
It follows hot on the heels of the announcement that the new series of The Crystal Maze, will be made the studios.
Fizz, RDF Television’s entertainment label, opted to base the show at the Bottle Yard as it offers the largest volume of flexible production space for film and TV production in the West of England.
A purpose-built maze of more than 30,000 sq ft is being created by the original Crystal Maze designer, James Dillon (The Mighty Boosh, The Royle Family), to be built in previously un-filmed areas of the studios.
In Cheap Cheap Cheap, Edmonds and the shop staff will challenge contestants to guess the cheapest of three items presented to them in the hope that a series of successful guesses will win them a life-changing sum.
The new hour-long gameshow is made by London-based Hat Trick Productions, the independent production company behind iconic and long-running programmes Have I Got News For You, Room 101 and Outnumbered.
The show means a swift return to the Bottle Yard for Edmonds following his Noel Edmonds’ Sell or Swap which was broadcast live from the studios on December 30.
He alsofilmed his hit gameshow Deal or No Deal at the studios from 2013 until it completed its final run last autumn.
Laura Djanogly, Joint Director of Production, Hat Trick Group, said: “We’re excited to be producing our new Noel Edmonds’ quiz series at The Bottle Yard. It’s a great facility in Bristol and it’s been lovely working with such a talented and helpful team.”
Fiona Francombe, The Bottle Yard Studios’ Site Director added: “It’s fantastic to have Hat Trick Productions at The Bottle Yard shooting Cheap Cheap Cheap, a new gameshow hosted by one of the UK’s best known presenters.
“We’ve witnessed first-hand the enjoyment of everyone involved in Noel’s shows, whether behind the scenes, in front of the camera or in the audience, so we’re delighted to have kicked off the year with this booking.”
Cheap Cheap Cheap is filming for two weeks and will be broadcast on Channel 4 later this year.
Other productions recently made at The Bottle Yard Studios include BBC One drama Poldark, E4 comedy Crazyhead, CBeebies’ Andy’s Prehistoric Adventures, Emmy award- winningBBC One drama Sherlock: The Abominable Bride and BBC One supernatural drama The Living and the Dead.
