Beat The Ancestors Contact Form
Thank you for contacting us.

Dragonfly Productions is the award-winning company behind hit television series “The Family”, “One Born Every Minute”, “The Hotel” and “World’s Toughest Trucker”.

We’re now making a six-part popular history and engineering series for Channel 5 called “Beat the Ancestors”, in which a team of male and female engineering enthusiasts will be challenged to rebuild iconic inventions that have changed history. These machines might include siege engines, gunpowder mills, early automobiles or invasion crafts.

The chosen team will have just two days to design and build their machine. Crucially, after 48 hours the machine will then be tested against history. Key to the challenge will be to see whether their modern knowledge can improve upon the original design.

We are looking for five men and women to take part  who have a real passion for engineering, as well as the skill and ambition to recreate and better historical innovation. Ideally you will have some experience of mechanical engineering, restoration or carpentry, either as part of your daily job or as something you do for fun.  And if you do it with friends, get them to apply too!

If this seems like an exciting challenge that you would relish, please fill in the following form:
