A brand new show based in Edinburgh is ready to hit Really, based on the popular Yorkshire Auction House format.
The Warner Bros. Discovery-owned free-to-air channel has demonstrated its long-term commitment to the lifestyle format by commissioning an 8-episode run of its new Edinburgh-based iteration of The Yorkshire Auction House.

Originally launched in March 2021, The Yorkshire Auction House follows auctioneer Angus Ashworth as he clears homes on the hunt for hidden gems to go under the gavel at his Ryedale auction house. The show was one of Really’s best-performing original commissions of 2021.
And now launching in early 2023, The Edinburgh Auction House will introduce 5th generation auctioneer Sybelle Thomson. As managing director of Scotland’s biggest auction group – founded by her great-grandfather over 140 years ago – there is no one north of the border better placed than Sybelle to identify a winning lot.
Following a similar format to its Yorkshire-based predecessor, The Edinburgh Auction House will see Sybelle delving through homes in Scotland in search of the trinkets, trash and treasure she predicts will deliver the goods at auction.
Craig Hunter, Creative Director of Factual at STV Studios said: “We knew when we created the format for The Yorkshire Auction House that, as well as being returnable, it had the potential to grow and spawn other iterations that would be equally as charming and engaging.
“We’re delighted that Really has such faith in the format to place a 58-episode order that will keep the Auction House series – whether it’s Yorkshire, Edinburgh or Celebrity – on screens throughout 2023.”
All series have been ordered by Clare Laycock and commissioned by Charlotte Reid, with Diccon Green serving as Series Producer and John Redshaw as Executive Producer.
