Bargain Hunt

Bargain Hunt has been a staple part of my daytime telly diet since I first started university, and I still wathc it now. Bargain Hunt airs every weekday at 12.15 on BBC1. Presented by Tim Wonacott, the show features two teams, red and blue and an appointed experts. The experts are the familiar faces who seem to do the round of BBC antiques shows. The teams are given one hour and £300 to find three 'antiques' to sell at auction later in the show. The show also features a section where a country house of some sort usually is visited by Tim and its antiques are nosed at. The best things about the show are the host in Tim Wonacott. He really is a true English ...  Read the complete review

Bargain Hunt is a television programme found on day time television at BBC1. It is presented by Timm Wonnacott who personally I find very annoying as he has ridiculous glasses, a dodgy voice and gives the camera these really creepy smiles. Before it used to be presented by David Dickinson and I feel that was much better. On Bargain Hunt their are two teams of two with an expert helping them. With £300 to spend they go around a market looking for antiques and odd finds which they feel will sell well at an auction. The aim for them is to haggle with the shopkeepers and get the price down so they can get a profit to take home. They can only buy three items ...  Read the complete review

Bargain Hunt is an antiques programme that has two teams pitted against each other to buy antiques from fairs and then sell the items an antiques auction. The show was originally presented by David Dickenson but he left after a couple of series and the show is now presented by Timothy Wonnacott. The presenter that I prefer was David Dickenson, as he made the show enjoyable and an antiques expert that made the subject entertain and this is what gave him his cult status that he currently holds. Wonnacott is not as good in my opinion, because if the programme was originally presented by Wonnacott I do think the show would be as population has it has been. ...  Read the complete review

I think this programme could be improved further by spending more camera time on the objects and less on peoples faces. It is not necessary to keep going from one to the other every time someone speaks. The "antiques" are the object of the show and are sometimes only shown for a few seconds.
It would be appreciated if the presenters of the programme were to take note of these comments, and by spending more time showing the artifacts make a good show excellent

Ah, the students dream! Bargain Hunt - prime day time TV. This programme still gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling when I think about my University days. What a cracking programme. Not too sure why students like it so much but it just was compelling viewing. The idea..... Two teams of two people choose 3 items to sell at auction from either an antique fair or market. They items must come to £250 or less. Each team has an 'expert' (I will use that term very loosely) to help them make their choices. Once the team has selected their items, they are taken to the auction and the auctioneer gives his opinions on them. Once he has given his opinion he ...  Read the complete review
