Weekend Watchlist: From Haunted House Mysteries to Treasure Hunts on Really TV
The weekend on Really TV offers a mix of property‑driven dramas, antique treasure hunts, and spooky investigations. Below is a quick guide to the highlights, plus recommendations for different age groups and interests.
Property‑Pursuits & Dream Homes
At 06:00 BST (05:00 UTC) start Fantasy Homes By The Sea (S1, Ep4). A family is looking to move to the Algarve, demanding a three‑bedroom home with a swimming pool. The light, sunny tone makes it a gentle watch for those who enjoy real‑estate drama.
Opinion: The show feels like a calm episode of a property channel, offering a reassuring view of the Algarve’s lifestyle without the frantic pace seen on other reality shows.
Cruising the High Seas
At 07:00 BST (06:00 UTC) is Cruise TV with LoveitBookit. It’s a one‑hour guide to cruise destinations, ships, and deals.
Opinion: This segment is still entertaining for travel enthusiasts, but its repetitive format may feel familiar to seasoned viewers.
Treasure Hunts & Antique Deals
From 08:00 to 10:00 BST (07:00–09:00 UTC) you’ll find two consecutive Salvage Hunters episodes (S13, Ep11 & Ep12). Drew explores animal‑themed curiosities and Victorian umbrellas, hunting bargains in Sussex and Norwich.
Opinion: The show offers a reliable inside look at the antique market, though the pacing may be slow for viewers who prefer high‑energy content.
Auction Adventures
At 09:00 BST (08:00 UTC) watch The Yorkshire Auction House (S2, Ep19 & Ep20). It follows Brenda and Angus as they auction jewellery and a potential lost masterpiece.
Opinion: The auction dynamics keep the viewer engaged, though the storylines may feel familiar to fans of similar reality channels.
Repair & Restore
From 11:00 to 18:00 BST (10:00–17:00 UTC) The Repair Shop dominates the schedule. The latest episode (S6, Ep38) sees Suzie nursing a midwifery bag, Lucia restoring a painting, and Richard fixing a WWI brooch.
Opinion: The show remains a comforting staple. Its focus on craftsmanship offers a gentle break from more intense programming.
Haunted Mysteries
Late in the evening, from 21:00 to 23:00 BST (20:00–22:00 UTC), the channel shifts to spooky territory. Help! My House Is Haunted runs three episodes (S4, Ep7‑Ep9). The series investigates handprints, a haunted pub, and a 19th‑century former B&B.
Opinion: For those who enjoy a mild thrill, the show offers one of the better options on the channel, though the plot twists are predictable.
Special Feature
At 20:00 BST (19:00 UTC) you’ll catch New: Death Walker With Nick Groff (S5, Ep14), a haunted boarding school investigation. The premise is intriguing, but the description provides little detail on how the story unfolds.
Opinion: The episode holds up well as a new addition, but viewers should be prepared for a modest pace.
