I quite like Tim Wonnacott.

Better than that bloody David Dickinson anyway!

Such a naff presenter.

Have you noticed how naff folk always think that wearing 'wacky' glasses or bow-ties (or both with this fool) will disguise how utterly dull they are.
Tim is a lovely chap who has gentleman written all the way through him like a stick of Blackpool rock but it is rare these days to find anyone who has the great advantage of Tim’s impeccable manners.

Anita is my favourite expert and a great auctioneer who always gets a good price by going up as she does in £10 increments. Not keen on Catherine (leather bound perfume bottles or telescope) Southern who is dismissive and wants her own way so love it when her contestants make a profit from the items they have chosen. If she knew how much she irritated me when she leans on her contestants she’d always stand on her own two feet.

Each to their own.

Personally I find him a great irritant, what with his "orf" & "leftover-lolly" & ridiculous wobbling head.

Anita always seems very nice though, I like her.

That is why no one round Glasgow goes to her auctions as she goes up in 10s when everyone else goes up in 1, 2s or 5s

mug punter paradise.

BH contestants always do well when they are at Anita's auction house, there's always a full house and the folk are keen to buy and have a bit of fun, a marked contrast to some of the other venues.

Agreed, some of those Auction Houses look empty with no one bidding,I wish I could find one like that. I go to Hansons and when Bargain Hunt is there you can hardly get in it is so busy, although many are just gawpers because the t.v. is there.

She was on Cash in the Attic recently, she has a beautifull old cottage in the Derbyshire countryside crammed floor to ceiling with antiques, she has been on other shows too. She has a doll museum and is also a valuer for Hansons.
