American Pickers is a U.S. History Channel TV show which follows Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz on road trips telling the story of what it is like to be on the ground on the front lines of the antique industry. The show follows the pickers in their van as they go on a mission in search of America's most interesting and valuable antiques - treasures that have been long forgotten in outbuildings and barns across the country.
 
The team tracks down unique and interesting items from motorcycles, classic cars and bicycles to one-of-a-kind vintage memorabilia. On the adventure, the team meets fascinating characters, each with a story to tell about the history of their collection and their own lives. Mike and Frank bring the past to life.
 
The show has never traveled outside the U.S. before, but it is headed to the UK to shoot an international episode.
 
Producer Jake Bandman will be scouting in the UK April 22nd - May 2nd. He wants to showcase the incredible locations, great characters, and one-of-a-kind items that can only be found in the UK - looking for rare MGs, BSAs, Triumphs, and early British bicycles. We are also looking for much older items that are indicative of the rich history of UK architectural salvage, fine art, oddball items, and any specifically British items.
 
American Pickers' ideal location would be a visually-spectacular private location with an outbuilding or cellar packed with generations worth of interesting items and an eccentric owner with an engaging personality who can speak about the history of each item and the history of the area.
