It's was disappointing on a show that relies on a certain expertise that Tom Wonnacott was allowed to make a fool of himself by informing us that birds are stuffed with cotton wool and sawdust. A glance at the most elementary book on taxidermy would correct this anecdotal chestnut.

How does one apply to participate in this programme? Although I live in France permanently now I am an avid watcher, and would love to take part in a programme with my dear cousin who still lives in England.Before I moved to France we would always make sure we took a day off from very stressful jobs to go to the Ardingly Antiques show. We would spend hours walking round, and would develope painful hips the next day. We used to say we were suffering from the "Ardingly Rock". I am retired from my work now, and my cousin is retiring at the end of November - I would love to arrange a visit to the UK so that we could participate together.
Any hope of this please?

regular viewer with my wife. She is hooked on Charles, Anita and Barby. As a surprise for her, I would like to apply to take part on the show. Anywhere in the country, as we are retired and have loads of time. (hopefully, before we go to the antiques room above.

I was wondering if it would be possible to apply formy parents to appear on the show. Both ensure they watch every day and are avid collectors of "stuff" themselves it would be a real suprise for them if it were possible.

Anyway thank you for your time in reading my comments and look forward to hearing from you.

I watch all BBC antique shows regularly and I love them. I only don't like in Bargain Hunt when the "specialist" chooses instead of the team, and I usually wish him to lose at the sale. All the shows are great

Like millions of others I am glued to the TV at 12.15 every day to watch the programme. Though I enjoy the search for bargains and the auctions the part I like best is when Tim visits some statley home or museum and imparts his knowledge on the antiques they contain. I feel this would be a great format for a seperate show which I for one would not miss. Is there any possibility this may happen in the future.

These comments are about todays show- Oct. 27th. when one contestant lied to a dealer as she was desperate to get a silver cigarette card case reduced. The dealer was finally pressurised into dealing to her for £40.00 because she said she and her partner ( the red team) had only £40. left when in fact at the end they had £163 spare to hand over to the specialist for the bonus. It isn't fair to the dealer when a contestant lies. Dealers won't want to encourage Bargain Hunt buyers in future.

As a regular viewer of Bargain Hunt it would seem to me that the "Achilles Heel" of the show is the Auction house at Mold. I can't recall anyone ever making a profit there.
