Sara Davies to Host New BBC One Invention Show
BBC One is gearing up to launch an exciting new series, Making It with Sara Davies, hitting screens in 2024. The 15-episode show will put the spotlight on everyday inventors with fresh, game-changing product ideas.
Dragons’ Den Star Guides Aspiring Inventors
Leading the charge is none other than Sara Davies, the business whizz and Dragons’ Den investor. She’ll mentor hopeful entrepreneurs, helping turn their concepts into reality. The show promises life-changing chances for makers aiming to break into the market.
Inventing in the North East
The innovation action unfolds in a specialist workshop in England’s North East. Here, Sara and her expert team will test which ideas have the spark to become successful products – but not every dream will make the cut, adding edge-of-your-seat drama to the journey.
Helen Munson, BBC Daytime Commissioning Editor, says the North East’s rich history of invention makes it the perfect backdrop. From Joseph Swan’s lightbulb to George Stephenson’s railways, this region’s legacy is set to inspire 21st-century breakthroughs.
Local Talent & Big Ambitions
Produced by Gateshead-based Twenty Six 03, with Executive Producers Duncan Gray and Antonia Hurford-Jones at the helm, the show is a true showcase of UK ingenuity. Rob Unsworth, Head of BBC Daytime, believes the series will inspire viewers by proving anyone can create the next big thing.
Making It with Sara Davies lands on BBC One and iPlayer in 2024. It’s set to be an uplifting, must-watch dive into innovation and creativity, backed by North East Screen funding and big hopes for new inventions.
