I suppose it's a gruelling shooting regime, maybe doing 3 pairs of teams a day at one location, then the auction segments another day.
When you have Norton, Evans, the SCD presenters and judges on big contracts for little effort. it must piss off hard working BBC stalwarts like Wonnacott
He was probably getting the true rate for the job, the others were grossly over-paid.
Idiotic programme anyway, buying retail and selling wholesale, how is that ever going to work?
As I said, it's just a redistribution of junk for people that way inclined but as you say a lot of Auctions sell to the trade and so it goes full circle.
Just heard he has possibly had a row with a producer he has only finished filming half of a series
When will imbeciles learn they are paid to do a specific role not for services unwanted, he is or was a presenter so should have kept his mouth shut regarding how the producers run things.

And yet, it does work. The contestants frequently make a profit. If they continually lost, the programme would have been finished within a year or two.
(On an entirely different subject, I'm hugely irritated by this computers insistence that "programme" is a misspelling of some ridiculous American non-word.)
Seeing as he's an antiques expert and not just a presenter of a tv show, I wonder if he got fed up with the fact that the show is faked in as much as as far as I've heard the producers actually tell the contestants what to buy.
You don't get told what to buy but you are 'guided' by the production team before you go round the fair. I was told that silver wasn't a big seller and so should look for quirky and wooden items. You can choose whether to heed this advice or not, especially if you see something you really like.
For what it worth, met Tim over the course of the two days and he seemed a very nice chap, knowledgeable about his trade with a dry sense of humour. This was nearly a decade ago though, so he may have got a bid fed up with the scenario over the intervening years.
Actually they will go for the cost cutting idea with moving Daily Politics to BBC One, Now all they need is the Homes Under The Hammer presenter breaking the rules so they can move Victoria Derbyshire over to BBC One freeing up the news channel budget and what ever it costs to make both programmes.

Oh yes, we've all seen how that works. The BBC employ some young, clueless, wet-behind-the-ears wannabes straight out of university. That's why we end up with so much dross. Bargain Hunt may not be up there with the greatest output from the BBC, but I'd be pretty sure that Wonnacott knows better than most how it "works".
bring back carrot man dickenson.. and i never watch again.. anyone watch the crap he does on itv The real deal good show but he ruined it.. thinks he is bigger than everyone.
Unlike Antiques Roadshow which any rent-a-newsreader can front , Tim IS Bargain Hunt.
While we all know it is daytime TV fluff, the BBC would be foolish to think they can fly in another expert to present it, or do the HIGNFY thing with guest presenters every week.
Lets be honest we know why hes getting the sack and thats because the BBC want a younger presenter.
Hmm.
They might want one, but I would imagine given how Wonnacott has been the main presenter for some time, he'll have some sort of contract.
Now unless it's reached the end, then they can't just fire him.
If he's been suspended, then it's possible that he has breached the terms of his contract in some way.
The BBC aren't daft enough to create a situation where Wonnacott would have grounds to "slap in an IT1," or whatever. They don't look for these sort of situations, or contrive them. They don't pay Valerie Hughes-D'Aeth, BBC Director of HR, £295,000 a year (a ridiculous amount of money) for nothing.
