A+E Networks UK and Curve Media are set to co-produce the new series Irish Pickers, to premiere on the free-to-air channel BLAZE.

The 10×60-minute series follows Dublin-based vintage connoisseur Ian Dowling, alongside his team comprised of Mark “Butzy” Butterly, “Vintage” Vinny Smith and Ali Foy, as they discover, buy and sell Irish treasures. Dowling and the team head to prestigious, interesting and historic places, hunting out and buying quirky and unusual objects previously hidden from the world.

The Irish Pickers team will travel the length and breadth of the island of Ireland from farms to stately homes, family businesses, private collectors, architectural salvage dealers and museums looking for amazing items of national and local historical significance. The new series will follow the team as they buy and sell everything from ornaments, street signs, military artifacts, retro games, model cars, shop fittings, prints, posters, adverts and more. If it’s Irish and has a history, they’re interested.
