Flog It!

November 2024 •English

Flog It! is a television series broadcast on the BBC, presented by Paul Martin.

The thirty minute versions are typically hour long editions cut in half; hour-long editions have become less common in recent years. The show is broadcast as part of BBC Two's afternoon schedule.

Storage Wars: New York

November 2024 •English

A&E Network focuses its "Storage Wars" cameras on the Big Apple (and the surrounding tri-state area), where a new group of auction bidders roll the dice by buying abandoned storage units. They hope, of course, that a winning bid leads them to a treasure trove of items inside a unit, but they're just as likely to be left with a load of trash. Among the buyers featured are "The Legend," Joe Pauletich, a shrewd veteran of 20-plus years on the auction scene; "The Hustler," Mike Braiotta, a Bronx-born tough-talker who looks for dependable items that he can quickly sell; and the tag team of Candy Olsen ("The Flame") and Courtney Wagner ("The Firecracker"), co-owners of a vintage clothing shop.
