Money For Nothing is a British television programme hosted, on a rotational basis, by Sarah Moore, Jacqui Joseph, JJ Chalmers and formerly Jay Blades, EJ Osborne that airs on BBC.[1][2] Earlier series are also available for viewing on Netflix.[3]

Format[]

The premise of the programme is to take items that other people have disposed of and which the presenter rescues from council refuse collection sites. With the help of a designer they are turned into desirable items, which are then sold. Any profit made is then returned to the individual(s) who disposed of the item originally. The show voice-over is provided by comedian and writer Arthur Smith. Celebrity Money for Nothing was a related programme and only lasted one series.[4]

Regular designers and craftspeople include: Norman Wilkinson, Rupert Blanchard, Forge Creative (Josh Kennard & Oliver "Oli" Milne), Sarah Peterson, bag designer Neil Wragg, Lighting Expert Duncan McKean of Albert & Edward, Ray Clarke, Daniel Heath, Mark 'Horse' Philips, Bex Simon, The Rag and Bone Man, Guy Trench, Simion Dallas Hawtin-Smith and Bruce Faulseit.
