BBC Expands Sara Cox’s Marvellous Miniature Workshop

Overview

• The BBC has renewed The Marvellous Miniature Workshop with 20 episodes and extended each instalment to 45 minutes.
• The series features Sara Cox and expert miniaturists who recreate beloved buildings tied to contributors’ personal histories.
• EarlyBird, founded by Dom Bird, produces the show and said the longer format will let viewers see more of the artisans’ craft.
• Cox’s expanded TV deal follows her appointment as Radio 2 Breakfast host after the BBC ended Scott Mills’ contracts following a historical inquiry that led to no CPS charges in 2019.
• The show earned a Royal Television Society nomination earlier this year, strengthening the BBC’s bet on a growing daytime hit.
