What amuses me is when the experts are the auctioneers, they inevitably slag off the items even though they have been guilty of buing naff objects themselves.
I like Jonathan too, he's like a cuter version of Mark Ronson.
Charles Hanson has been a revelation on the show today.
He's a nice man with a great sense of humour and seems like fun, if not the best looking of men - and he has a fabulous, glamorous girlfriend who he is about to marry. He said his passion is dancing, he was seen throwing himself about and dances 'like no-one's looking'. He looked totally daft but like he was really enjoying himself.
I'm really enjoying seeing these 'meet-the-expert' slots.

This week's shows are really enjoyable, "Experts Unplugged" as it were.
Back OT, Paul Laidlaw is by some way the most impressive when it comes to turning a profit, though I like Catherine Southon, especially when she gets a chance to buy a scientific or maritime instrument, her speciality.
I presume there's a regional aspect to it, so Paul would never have to sell stuff at the dreaded Mold, where that sarcastic scouser who auctions down there always seems to depress the price rather than talk it up. Getting a "ten pound note" for anything he's selling seems a hell of an achievement sometimes.
How was Antiques Road Trip filmed,? they couldn't have filmed every day because they wouldn't know how much they had to spend until after the auction, which must have been at least a week after their spending spree.
I was thinking that. The only way they could do it is if the items were put in and added to the catelogue at the last minute. OR they actually just film a two day stint every 2 weeks.
It does annoy me the way they demand to buy things for next to nothing and the dealer suddenly caves in:rolleyes:
It would be easier to say who are not my favourites.
I am not impressed by Mark Stacey or David Harper. I used to loath Michael Hogben:eek:
I liked Phillipa Deeley when she used to appear and I have met Phillip Serrell at cricket matches

My fave experts!
Paul "what think you of this" Laidlaw:D
Pippa Deeley was very cute where is she now?
David Barbey & Phil Serrell are both lovely blokes:)
Anthony Parry is the bloke who you refer to and yes I dont like him either:mad:
bit of Tabby trivia
James Lewis is related to the family who set up Boots the Chemist
Michael Hogben, he did a reality show didn't he, well a documentary where he was followed around by a camera crew and he seemed really unpleasant there.
In the old days he would have been known as a 'knocker' - going around paying a pittance for people's valuable treasures.
I can't stand how tight he is. There is the accepted way of dealing, buying some way below value to sell on and make a profit, then there is the Hogben way - pretend everything is out of fashion, damaged or inferior and then make a pathetic offer.
I like Michael Hogben on Dickinsons Real Deal, he is the only sensible one, he may seem tight but I think the others are told to bump up the prices and David Dickinson annoys me when he says "I'm sure you can twist their arm for another £50"and then at the end they show the pathetic small profits that the dealers make. Hogben once told D.D. when he tried to force him to up his offer " We might be at the seaside but I'm not on my holidays, this is my living".

But the strange thing is that, according to what we are told, he never seems to make a profit on what he buys anyway. I don't regard him as an expert at all.
Bit of a guilty pleasure because I don't normally watch daytime TV, but it fits into my lunch break. I'm especially enjoying this week's anniversary shows and the evening shows. Yesterdays film of my favourite, Charles, dancing confirmed what I have always suspected - he is slightly bonkers! I wonder if he's after an invite to go on Strictly!
Is Hogben still on Bargain Hunt? He turns up on Dickenson's Real Deal these days and is rather tight and unpleasant on there too.
He is the one I really don't like. I saw him on a programme on house clearances and he was very unpleasant. He swore all the time and boasted about what suckers people were. He doesn't seem to have a passion for anything other than the money an object can make for his greedy pocket.
- Why do they buy at car boots/antiques fairs and sell at auctions when everybody knows the way to make money on antiques is to do it the other way round?
- why do the auctioneers always shake their heads in disbelief when they are giving their estimates for the BH auction yet when they take their turn as the experts they buy absolute rubbish that they must know they could never sell for a profit?
I don't recall Charles Hanson ever making a profit on anything he loses far more than he wins, if he is an expert we all are.
Michael Hogben back when Dickinson presented the prog once advised someone to pay £80 for a silver box which had a hand painted lid and it sold for £900

I've wondered that, and decided it's because when they're the auctioneer they've had the benefit of the valuers from the auction house researching the item for them, whereas when they're the expert they have to make up their mind on the spot.

Now he is an "expert" I'd take notice of:)
When Dickinson presented it, there did seem to be really big profits on certain items whereas now they just seem to make huge loses. Wasn't there a piece of fabric, that they were unsure about as they hadn't had much fabric on BH and it made a really big profit.
Even if he is good at what he does, Michael Hogben doesn't seem that nice when I've seen him on documentaries and other 'real life' stuff he does.
Really enjoying this week's anniversary episodes. Everyone seems to be having fun and that comes across to the viewers.
Also, Tim usually winds me up no end with his performance to camera but is actually ok this week. Do you think it's because he's not having to compensate for the members of the public who might not be that comfortable being on screen?
And he's doing ok with the bonus buys. Hats off to him!

If he loses more than he wins he must make some profits

It was just a lucky find. Usually he didn't have a clue. He's more of a chancer than an expert.
This road trip progamme is so false. Why are dealers knowingly selling the experts goods at a price low enough for them to make a profit at auction. Wouldn't they be better taking them there themselves?:rolleyes:

My thoughts exactly, if you or any member of the public tried to knock down the price by half they would be told where they can stuff it. Most dealers allow 10% off the price.The dealer has to buy it and then has all the overheads of rent ,rates ,heating, transport, etc,plus his wages, many dealers that I know at fairs are probably earning minimum wage so the so called profits are far from it.
Love James Lewis, he seems such a lovely gentle easy going type of chap. Like David Barby and Anita Manning too - Anita Manning has me in tucks the way she bends over and almost looks up everyones nose! she is such a character.
I am a big fan of all the BH type programmes.

He hasnt done BH since 2006 afaik
What's the name of the man who did Bargain Hunt and also did Flog It, looked like an actor who was in the Royal?, if that makes sense?!

I love watching her too... She mesmerises me with her enthusiasm. I would love to meet her...:)
