Channel 4 is rolling out the red carpet—or perhaps the welcome mat—for “Location, Location, Location,” which marks its 25th anniversary with a special night of programming on Wednesday, May 14th. Yes, Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer have been helping Brits find their dream homes for a quarter-century, and Channel 4 is celebrating with a look back at the show’s legacy and a fresh batch of house-hunting adventures.
The anniversary festivities kick off at 8:00 PM with a brand-new series of “Location, Location, Location.” But the nostalgia doesn’t end there. Two specials will follow, offering a deep dive into the show’s history and a peek behind the curtain. “25 Years of Location, Location, Location” finds Kirstie and Phil revisiting the UK property market’s ups and downs, along with the broader social changes that have shaped the housing landscape since the show’s debut. Expect a blend of insightful commentary and amusing observations from the duo who have witnessed it all.
Then, things get a bit more…unpredictable. “Kirstie & Phil: Bleeps, Bloops & Best Bits” gives viewers a look at the outtakes, bloopers, and behind-the-scenes moments from the past 25 years. Think of it as a “Location, Location, Location” gag reel, amplified. Who knows what hidden gems—or cringe-worthy moments—await? It’s certainly an attempt at something different to fill out the schedule.
Over the years, Kirstie and Phil have become more than just TV presenters; they’re practically national treasures, guiding nearly 750 house-hunters and handling over £175 million of their money along the way. They’ve seen it all – from fixer-uppers to mansions, from first-time buyers to seasoned investors. This anniversary special is a celebration of their enduring partnership and the show’s remarkable run.
The new series will feature house-hunters in various locales including North Wales, North London, Stirling, and East Dunbartonshire. For die-hard fans, Kirstie and Phil’s top 10 episodes will also be available to stream on Channel4.com.
