The repeat today took them to that Auction house in Exeter where it is IMPOSSIBLE to make a profit. They almost give the stuff away:o
Well there was only a handfull of people there. I go to Hansons near Derby, and when Bargain Hunt is filming there, you can't get in or park because it is packed, I often see me on T.V.

But the auction house (Bearnes) in Exeter is mostly a fine arts auction house. At least that's what it's known for down here. The teams chose absolute crap and they paid the penalty.
The auction house in chiswick is just down the road to my thai restaurant and I often see my customers on screen bidding for obscure items. I've never been there but if I knew Anita would be there I'd be down in a shot. I love her quirkiness and also think she is a very good auctioneer.
I was on Bargain Hunt about 4 years ago. We filmed it at Wetherby Racecourse with the auction being in Malton. Our expert is no longer with the series - Nigel Smith. The other expert for our opponents was Anita Manning. Both were wonderful and so knowledgable. Tim is a real gent too. Always doffing his hat to the ladies. Met a few more of the experts at the auction as they film a few at a time. My favourite was Colin Young. Really nice guy and we had a lengthy chat about football.
If I was on Dickinson's real deal I would NEVER accept his offer. He hasn't a clue:mad:
I disagree, he does have a clue, he is the only genuine dealer amongst them, the others make offers well over the odds because they are on t.v and then make a loss or very small profit, they have to make a living, pay their shop rents and overheads etc. David Dickinson eggs them on to overpay, forgetting that he was once a dealer, he doesn't try it on with Hogben because he once told him, " we may be at the seaside but I'm not on my holidays, this is my money and I've got to make a profit."

But if what we are told at the end of each programme is true, he never makes a profit on what he buys anyway.:)
I always feel the contestants have a good chance of making a profit with James Lewis as their expert. He seems a nice guy too.
At the opposite end of the scale Charles Hanson is the most likely to make them a large loss if they listen to him. For an auctioneer he seems to have little idea of what would make a profit in the type of auctions BH uses.
I like Anita Manning and love her accent but have never taken to David Barby for some reason.
I have never been keen on David Barby ( currently in Australia filming an Oz Bargain Hunt) but I went to a Flog It Valuation day a couple of weeks ago and met him, he is a lovely man very smiley with a good sense of humour, he also had 2 black eyes because he had fallen down the steps at his local pub - Paul Martin said Tim Wonnacott had beaten him up
Philip Serrell - top bloke
Kate Bliss - lovely
Charles Hanson - hugely entertaining
James Lewis - also lovely
Anita Manning - great fun
Catherine Southon - gorgeous
Paul Laidlaw - isn't on enough
David Barby - love how into it he gets at the auctions
Mark Stacey - he isn't David's son
David Harper - I like him, even if no-one else does
Also, Tim is a quantum leap above David as main presenter.
Comments
She was only on the programmes in the very early days, anyone know what happened to her?
Its even more fun when "his dad" David Barby is on as well (even tho he isnt his dad):D:D
Indeed, that was embarrassing. These West Country folk are a stingy bunch of penny pinchers.
A complete change to a BH episode in Glasgow a few weeks back where EVERY item made a profit and both teams had profits of over £200.
Scots mean ?, I don't think so.
When he started appearing on television he gained a veneer of respectability but locals still wouldn't trust him.
He looks 'well dodgy' and comes across as a stingy so and so. Typical door knocker type.

ps - we lost.....................easily

He's got a clue alright - of how to try to get something for nothing!
Nasty little man.
