The architectural salvage trade's smash hit celebrity, Drew Pritchard, returns in a new series of Salvage Hunters starting 18 February on Quest TV. First appearing in 2011, and repeated with frequent back-to-back days of solid Drew in the UK and in other countries worldwide, Salvage Hunters is now the biggest promoter of the trade currently on TV.
 
Discovery's press release states:

Drew Pritchard, an architectural antique dealer and restoration expert who has travelled all over Europe, is a modern-day treasure hunter. With demanding customers, high turnover, and one of the biggest decorative salvage yards in the UK, Drew is constantly on the road, crisscrossing the country in search of derelict gems and forgotten remnants.
 
In the new series Drew explores fun fairs and finds a lamp which might make his whole trip worthwhile. He loves the thrill of the hunt and while he gets his hands dirty in the country's architectural backwaters, his crack team of restorers is back at the shop giving old and rare finds a new lease of life.
 
In the first episode, Drew barters with a baronet at one of Scotland's grandest estates with his new sidekick in tow. He also tours Eddie's one-of-a-kind yard, but Eddie is a seasoned salvager and gives him a run for his money. After hand feeding lions, the guys go behind the scenes at a wildlife park. Under pressure to fill their virtually empty van, they visit an old brewery that's getting a facelift.

 
Rebecca Armstrong in The Independent wrote, 'I used to be a reality TV snob, until Drew Pritchard and Salvage Hunters changed my mind.' She goes on:

I realised this recently after spending a week's holiday glued to a show I hadn't come across before. Salvage Hunters, on Quest, had salvaging, making AND selling, and no fake tan or false eyelashes. It followed a very pleasant chap called Drew Pritchard, a dealer in architectural salvage, going about his rounds trying to find things to but to refurbish and sell in his antiques emporium in north Wales. He had a nice team, a lovely little dog, a fascinating business and there were no tears or shouting.
 
So impressed was I that I did something I never thought I'd do. I became a reality-show groupie. I was staying near Conwy, the Welsh town where he and his wife Rebecca have their real-life business. It was on the route home. I could just pop in, see if reality matched reality TV.
 
My husband and I, hardened media types that we are, were squeaking with excitement when we drove into the car park. The stock on sale in the icy cold warehouse was amazing, and as soon as I have the space for an antique rectory table and a pulpit or two, I know where to go.
 
We spotted some things that we seen on the telly (squeak!) and when the time came to pay for our purchases, Drew himself served us (squeak squeak!). The reality? He was exactly like he was on the box.
 
Pleasant, friendly, and knew his stuff. We 'fessed up to being there because we'd watched the show. We asked how the show compared to day-to-day life. The only big difference, Drew said, was that reality was blooming freezing. How refreshing.
