If you really want to be frightened by the prices some people will pay for old tat you need to watch 'Salvage Hunters'.

I often wonder if Anita wears a wig. Her hair always looks exactly the same.

BlueBelle Thu 30-Apr-20 15:00:12

I think Anitas rather nice, she has the most strange flick up hair that never moves but I think she’s a rather nice person
I never remember who whose when I watch it I don’t think I take much notice of names but Natasha seems a pleasant and natural lady I don’t think anyone really annoys me I d stop watching it if they did I rather like the ‘tasks’ they have
It never ceases to amaze me some of the awful things they are encouraged to buy I do think the contestants sometimes have more idea than the experts
What about the one where they drive round to the different towns is that antiques bargain roadshow Mostly the same experts

I really like Anita Manning, I like the way she refuses to give her age and her black,black hairgrin And I think she's knowledgeable too.What's not to like!

Bargain Hunt - I only watch the end of it and that very rarely.

Should it be renamed Not Such a Bargain After All?

Clawdy Thu 30-Apr-20 14:39:46

What gets me is how awful most of the things are that they buy. Rusty old signs, ashtrays nobody will want, boring glassware....never an interesting painting or a lovely vase!

I am tired of Pointless as well Charleygirl5 Armstrong & Osmond just love the sound of their own voices don't they.

I really enjoy Bargain Hunt and unlike Grannybags especially Anita. Love it when she is the auctioneer as there is always good results.

I like it - and I like the black guy with the squeaky voice. In fact, I like most of the experts. I find it especially entertaining when the non-expert contestants make a huge profit on something and the expert's choice makes a huge loss.

I used to watch it but I have not done for many months. I agree with Pointless, I am heartily sick of it.

I agree with Deedaa that they have spoilt the programme. I am not sure who they are trying to appeal to these days.
I do however enjoy the challenges.
Natasha makes an excellent presenter, she is a natural.

Some of the contestants seem not to have a clue. I think they just want to be on a TV.

Grannybags Sat 18-Apr-20 20:59:48

It's Anita that irritates me!

gangy5 Sat 18-Apr-20 19:51:26

Bargain Hunt has been going on for far too long and I'm also going to include Pointless in this category. Are people at the BEEB unable to think up anything interesting and new ?

Deedaa Sat 18-Apr-20 19:13:04

I like Bargain Hunt but, like so many programmes, they have spoilt it by trying to make it more "exciting". I don't want them sent out to find specific items, I just want sent out to buy some stuff. The black guy in the hat drives me mad whatever programme he's in.

sodapop Sat 18-Apr-20 17:00:23

Me too shysal It's marginally less annoying now that Tim Wonnacott has left.

Yes, Charlie Ross is OTT but not as bad as Charles Hanson. The black guy who wears a trilby with a peacock feather has a voice that greats too.
I like the rest of them especially Phil.

shysal Sat 18-Apr-20 14:41:53

I find the whole programme irritating! I can't watch it.

Lilypops Sat 18-Apr-20 14:01:21

Does any body else find Charlie Ross irritatingly over the top on everything,
