ZDF fact ent format Cash or Trash set for 12th int’l adaptation at Portugal’s RTP

Tânia Ribas de Oliveira hosts Negócio Fechado

Portuguese public broadcaster RTP has announced a local-language adaptation of German factual entertainment format Cash or Trash.

Coproduced by Warner Bros International Television Production (WBITVP) Spain and Spanish-Portuguese prodco Coral Europa, it will be titled Negócio Fechado and hosted by Tânia Ribas de Oliveira.

The format sees people dust off antiques, heirlooms and oddities hoping they’ve uncovered a hidden fortune. Expert appraisers first reveal the secrets and surprises behind each item, before sellers head into the Dealer Room, where buyers go head-to-head in bidding battles.

Cash or Trash was originally developed by Germany’s ZDF Studios and produced by WBITVP Germany for ZDF. RTP’s version of the show is the 12th international adaptation, with the format also airing in the UK on the BBC, Austria’s Puls 4, Nova TV in Serbia Croatia and Discovery in Italy, among others.
