Bargain Hunt

I've always wondered if there is actually any realistic chance of one of the Bargain Hunt contestants finding a long lost antique or something and making some real money from it? I'd have thought that the minute the sellers would see the experts taking interest in something that their guard would be up, meanin they would double check somethings value?

I've often thought I'd make a great expert on Bargain Hunt. I can be quite a nob when I want to be and I know fuck all about antiques.

The entire pub is actually in love with Christina Trevanion. She lives a couple of villages over. We wait in the pub with bated breath for her to enter for a half of tetleys. And we'll not tell her that we prefer Anita Manning as an auctioneer. 

 

Bargain Hunt needs a thread on here. I fucking hate Danny Sebastian with his voice like Slimer.

He dresses and acts like that in real life too!

My mate used to be in a Soul / Funk covers band and they sporadically played this pub in Clitheroe at which Sebastian was a regular.  A few times, when I was up visiting, they played there, so I would go along and watch.  This was prior to his time on Bargain Hunt, so I had no knowledge of what he did for a living; but he stood out like a sore thumb with his afro, burners, cravate, retro shirt etc. in a sea of normality.  I had a shock and a half when I first saw him on BH and instantly recognized him as "that guy" from the gigs.  He's a pretty shocking "expert" to be fair and celebrates a pound profit like he's turned a tenner into grand.

So the conspicuously unspecified "charity" that any unchosen bonus item profit goes to is actually the weekly contestant fleece fund?

Couple of mates were on Bargain Hunt about 10 years ago and said Tim Wonnacott was a creepy sex pest towards all the young women who worked on the show. They said it was no surprise he got fired from the show.

Now, we've assumed for ages in the pub why that's why he's no longer on it. 

It's nice to have a round about confirmation.

All the charity donations go to Children In Need. 

I don't honestly doubt that, but I've always found it odd that they don't name it. Especially if it's always the same one.

This pub that @PowerButchi speaks of sounds brilliant. It's a reality show waiting to happen.

It's just a run of the mill pub full of bored middle aged men watching daytime TV.
