Homes Under the Hammer

Homes Under the Hammer is a British factual renovation and auction television series that is screened on BBC One as part of the daytime schedule.

The series has been running since 17 November 2003, and is currently presented by Martin Roberts and Martel Maxwell alongside Dion Dublin, Jacqui Joseph, and Tommy Walsh.

On 30 March 2017, BBC Scotland's Martel Maxwell was revealed as the new host replacing Alexander during the 21st series of the show and it was announced she would appear on screen from June.

London-based composers Michael Burdett and Richard Cottle created the theme tune, musical beds and stings.

For the final note of the theme they used a 32 ft ophicleide stop on the organ of the Welsh Presbyterian tabernacle in King’s Cross, London.
