If you're anything like us, you'll be totally hooked on Storage Hunters. And it's finally come to the UK! Which is why we bloody love this new audio-visual remix by producer Alex Ross. The new UK version features US auctioneer Sean Kelly doing his thang and getting quite a shock realising that we have quite a few stereotypes similar to the US stars. Speaking to Digital Spy, Sean says: "What I didn't realise is that you have very clear cut stereotypes in the UK like we do at home. For example on Storage Hunters US you have T-Money who's from Detroit, you have Papa Bear from East LA, you've got Jesse who's your average blue-collar kind of guy, you got Brandon and Lori who I won't comment on. You have different people who basically feed into different kinds of stereotypes. What's good about that is that the viewers at home always find someone to relate to. Then they always find people who they naturally dislike. Here in the UK, we wanted to have a fair representation of people from around the UK. We have Linda, who's from Essex, and she's a spacey blonde. Well if you're from the valley in California, that's a spacey blonde. We have Darren and his brother who are like typical rednecks from back at home. What you realise is at the end of the day, people are people, are people, are people. So as much as when we're sitting at home back in the States and we think, 'Oh they're so much different compared to us in England'. Not really. You guys have got plenty of idiots here too!"
Well, ta very much. Anyway watch this amazing vid (which by the way meant Alex had to watch over 27 hours of footage), and then don't forget to catch up on the actual programme.
Storage Hunters is on Dave, Tuesdays at 8pm.
