Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job | Preview (BBC One)

Best friends Amanda Holden and Alan Carr reunite as they head to the sun-kissed hills of Andalusia and embark on their first ever Spanish renovation job. Getting into the swing of the Mediterranean lifestyle, they’re ready for a summer of sunshine, sangria and plenty of DIY – with a little bit of chaos thrown in for good measure!



Hoping to breathe new life into one of the region’s forgotten villages, Amanda takes a gamble on a run-down three-storey townhouse and convinces Alan to join her in a lifelong dream of transforming it into a boutique B&B.



In a bid to push their DIY skills to a whole new level, the best pals visit Granada’s architectural marvel and the pinnacle of Moorish design – the Alhambra Palace. But with over 2,000 square feet to contend with, a roof in need of repair and a crumbling outbuilding on its last legs, it dawns on them that they may be in over their heads.


After the DIY, Amanda and Alan will of course throw themselves into the Spanish traditions. They’ll travel the breadth of Andalusia to discover the rich, varied landscape of the Sierra Nevada mountains, whitewashed coastal villages and historic Moorish towns.




Indulging in the local cuisine, joining in the summer festivals and getting to grips with the local traditions – they’ll be sipping on Sangria, dancing Flamenco and belting out their favourite tracks in the karaoke bar - welcome to Amanda and Alan’s Spanish Job!



Amanda Holden says: “It’s wonderful how often I’m stopped in the street and told how much people love our show. Alan and I have the best time filming it and to have reached series three already is beyond the dreams of our lockdown pitch to the BBC! By day we love getting our hands dirty knocking down walls and lugging around power tools knowing we’ll be sipping on an ice-cold reward by night, forgetting the cameras are rolling! Bring on the Spanish sun, we can’t wait to get started and continue to help Comic Relief and Children In Need along the way.”


Alan Carr says: “It’s always exciting when a show you love gets recommissioned but the fact that we will be bringing our unique DIY expertise to a whole different country makes it even more special. We are saying ciao for now and Hola España! Can’t wait to grab our power tools and get our hard hats on and bring some much needed TLC to a casa in Spain!”



Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job begins Friday 24th January at 8pm on BBC One.
