Crews from a BBC hit show were spotted filming at a country park in Swindon on Wednesday afternoon.

A van with The Repair Shop logo was spotted just before 1pm at Coate Water Country Park, driven by star of the show and expert craftsman Dominic Chinea, known as Dom.

While a cameraman was filming around the site, the van was parked in the car park near the entrance, with a few producers waiting outside the vehicle and Dom inside the van, who came out to speak to passers-by and take a photo with a fan.

They said they were filming for the spin-off show The Repair Shop on the Road, which was announced last month and is likely to be aired next year.

On the original show, people bring their broken or damaged family heirlooms to a team of restoration experts, but the spin off show will see the experts going into local communities to repair sentimental items. 

Although they could not say much about the upcoming series, they said they were in Wroughton on Tuesday repairing an RAF bench and they will be back in the area in September for the grand reveal, which they expect will be a fun day for the whole community.

In March 2020, The Repair Shop was watched by 6.7 million people and it won the National Television Award in the daytime programme category in 2023.
