Two teams, £300 and one hour to find the bargains. Let's go bargain hunting!
Presented by Tim Wonnacott, Bargain Hunt is an antiques game show about buying and selling antiques for profit.
Two teams of two contestants are each given £300 to spend at an antiques fair, but only one hour in which to spend it. They use their knowledge of the antiques world to try to buy things which they can sell for a profit at an antiques auction a few weeks later. If they make a profit, they get to keep the money. Helping each team in their hunt around hundreds of stalls is an expert - usually an auctioneer well versed in the trends of the market.
Each team buys three objects and sends them off to the auction house where we meet everyone again for the nail-biting sale. Tim and the local auctioneer have their say about the objects the teams have bought and together they assess the chances of making a profit. The teams can choose to accept an item bought by their expert into their lots - but this of course could lose as well as make them money. Once the sale is under way, Tim and the teams wait for the local market to decide whether they will have any profit to take home.
At the end of the programme Tim hands out the cash or the commiserations.

Do you have confidence, charisma and a competitive attitude? Hard Sell, a popular daytime series for BBC1, pitches two teams of two, head to head to outwit and out-sell each other in a race which tests their energy, initiative and sheer will to win. Filming only takes a day. Each team will be given one of two suitcases containing a number of items of similar value, with at least one or two items with some connection to the city. They will then have a day to sell the contents in the city centre and the winners are whoever makes the most money on that day. They get to take away the cash they make and the other team's profits too! We would like to find confident, lively, chatty, competitive people. You don't have to be a salesperson (although that can help) all you need is confidence and the gift of the gab. A good sense of fun and the desire to win are key elements. We hope that the teams will be able to draw from their local knowledge and their professional expertise to find the best selling market for their items (i.e. there will be some selling on the street and some in more specialist locations). We are currently looking for teams from all over the UK so please contact: |
