Overview
- The show, premiering Saturday at 8pm on Seven and 7Plus, follows their takeover of the Dederang Hotel in rural Victoria.
- Jacobson says they bought the pub first and chose to film later, describing the TV idea as an afterthought.
- Renovations refreshed guest rooms, reworked the kitchen, and replaced the roof and floor while the bar kept trading, with only a two‑week closure for the major works.
- The new owners promised locals they would keep the pub open and run it without pokies (slot machines), a policy they say they set from day one.
- Local faces drive the story on screen, including manager Tyrone Raw, head chef Ali McKillop, and handyman Joao Joaquim, reflecting pride in change and care for the pub’s character.
