With a foreword from Natasha Raskin Sharp, as well as tips, advice, and stories throughout from each of the show's experts (including 'league tables' of best and worst finds), this is the essential companion to all your future Bargain Hunts! Go bargain hunting with auctioneer and presenter Caroline Hawley, who will be your guide as you rummage at an antiques fair, followed by a well deserved cuppa It’s that time of year again! On Friday 16th September, Bargain Hunt will be filming at a very special auction for BBC Children in Need. In a children’s television-themed episode, Pudsey Bear will join presenter Christina Trevanion and some well-known faces from kids’ TV past and present. Items bought by the celebrity teams at Southwell Racecourse in Nottinghamshire will be sold by auctioneer Charles Hanson at Bishton Hall in Staffordshire, to raise money for children’s projects across the UK.Programmes are not necessarily broadcast in the sequence filmed, and one set of episodes can be split across different series. I think at the core of Bargain Hunt is its relatability. The world of antiques can be a daunting place and intimidating for some people, but Bargain Hunt manages to take that knowledge and information, break it down into bite size chunks and throw in a good dollop of laughter and fun! I think that we can all relate to it. Our contestants could be anyone’s friends, neighbours or acquaintances from down the road! The people that take part are relatable just like you and me, and we, as the viewers are also getting to take part in going around the fairs by watching the teams do it! It draws you in. I know many people who won’t leave the house between 12.15pm and 1pm weekdays, and rightly so! I love fairs that have a good mix of indoor and outdoor areas. Fairs like Southwell and Anglesey are great but so is Edinburgh, as there’s a great big roof over your head when it’s cold and wet! It’s as satisfying to browse the fine delicate treasures indoors as it is to rummage outside among the hidden quirky items! And YOU can join in the fun! You can register and bid online for the teams’ items, as well as dozens of exciting extra charity lots, including goodies and exclusive experiences donated by TV celebrities, presenters and experts. It’s a rare opportunity to bid for lots that money normally can’t buy.

Cuddle up with your own giant Pudsey Bear (20"" high) signed by some Bargain Hunt presenters and experts Start off small and slow, do your research, and figure out what you love first. Will you start collecting one thing that you love, buy as a future investment or buy to sell? Either way, buy with your heart and buy what you love. You have to be invested in it before anyone else can be! Research online and through books, and try to handle as many objects as you can to be able to decipher between items that are genuinely from a period in time, a reproduction or an outright fake. You will also get an idea of market value. Condition is key, so try not to impulse buy at auctions or in shops. I’ve done it and been burnt! That fabulous table you’re buying for a steal may have a broken leg! That Georgian glass may have a chip on its foot or have been ground down, so proceed with caution, but go all in when it’s the right piece! Television antiques expert David Barby dies, aged 69".

Most episodes are 45 minutes in length, though 30-minute versions and one-hour "live" editions have also been produced. I don’t mind life on the road, but the older I become the more of a home bird I am, although I am so blessed to have seen so much of the UK these last few years and have met some fabulous people that I never would have met had it not been for ‘life on the road’!

Inappropriate songs and big losses — the Darkness and Feeder really weren't very good at 'Bargain Hunt' ". NME. 26 September 2019.On average, the majority of contestants' items lose money: the teams are paying retail prices at fairs, whereas auction prices are generally lower. Large profits are fairly rare, though it is not particularly unusual for contestants to take home a small profit. Teams achieving the difficult feat of earning a profit on all three items are awarded a "golden gavel"; [2] originally a wooden trophy, but latterly a lapel pin.

Tea and a guided tour of the Museum of Royal Worcester with Bargain Hunt veteran expert Philip Serrell. A separate celebrity version of the show premiered on 1 December 2008 on BBC Two featuring team pairs made up of one well-known personality accompanied by a friend or family member. The show is presented by Tim Wonnacott and the format is the same as the main show but Wonnacott's visit to see an antiques collection or stately home is replaced by a feature where each celebrity contestant discusses antiques with him. Wonnacott might show them a borrowed collection of antiques brought along for the show that he believes would interest the celebrity (this may be related to the occupation of the celebrity), and in turn the celebrity shows Wonnacott an antique or collectable belonging to themselves. There is no suggestion of what to do with any profit if the teams make any, but most decide to give it to charity. Series 2 began on 30 March 2009 and ended on 3 April 2009.

The first things I started collecting were bells, but I sold my collection. I don’t collect anything today, except perhaps a small collection of Georgian glass, and with regards to non-antiques, I’ve started collecting soft vegetable toys! That’s my guilty buying pleasure! I’m hugely anthropomorphic, so I can’t get enough of soft food toys with faces!!! My brie is my favourite (he is called Du Brie). I’m really just a big kid at heart, and proud of it too! Definitely, the social element of it! I love people, and the best part of this role is meeting new people and working with an amazing crew where everyone is in sync. As a presenter, I feel it is very much my responsibility to make sure everyone has the best, easiest, smoothest and most fun day possible. When everyone finishes up for the day, and there are big smiles and laughter all round, that is the best feeling for me. The crew, the experts and the presenters all bring the contestants into the Bargain Hunt family, and I believe that element of fun and togetherness really comes across on screen! I love every second of it! It’s a fabulous presenting team with each person bringing their own personality and style, so it’s a real honour to join such a line-up! I feel like a conductor in an orchestra made up of experts, contestants and crew, and the joy lies in bringing them all together in harmony to make our very own Bargain Hunt music!
