I love the show. Thank god for PBS broadcasting it here in Ontario.
I swear the host lived a previous life as Dr. Who!! 
I’ve seen it a few times on BBC America. Well, I’ve seen parts of it a few times because the show is so mind-deadingly dull that I either fall asleep partway through or rally my waning strength and change the channel. I tried to like the show. I like “Antiques Roadshow.” Even went to the Roadshow when it was in Madison. But “Bargain Hunt” is boring.
The host creeps me out. Seriously. He has the worst haircut ever.
David Dickenson.
I am curious, Orange.
Yes. An unholy hybrid between Casey Casem and Arthur Daley.
What did he get done for, by the way, British Dopers? Was there some fixing scandal with antiques a few years back?
I watched Bargain Hunt while in the UK on holiday last month, and thought that they were going about it all the wrong way; everyone knows that you buy cheap at auction, then flog for a profit at a an antique market to specialist buyers!
I liked the episode with the transvestites; that was a hoot!
Well, as I noted in my OP, I love the show. But I agree with Rodd Hill. The people on the show don’t know what they’re doing! They always buy the most expensive stuff and somehow expect to make profit on it.
I don’t think I’d bother with anything >> 10 pounds.
I like this show.
I feel sorry for the expert advisors. 90% of the time noone listens to them, and consequenly the contestants end up buying crap like old hat blocks that lose a ton of money.
The big mistake that the contestants keep making is that they buy what they think looks cool, not what other people are likely to want. And they tend to pay too much. (Tho in the last show, this woman saw a teddy bear marked 95 pounds, and bargained the person down to 50. Wow! 
)
I saw that show in the UK last year and that guy hosting it really is something else.
I like it; my girlfriend LOVES it! It’s something we have to watch whenever it’s on.
The host strikes me as one of those highschool teachers that’s so uncool that he’s cool.
Apparantly, that is his real hair.
That David Dickenson is the biggest cheeeeeezeball on the face of the earth. Rodd Hill, you need to add Richard Dawson to the mix somewhere, and also Robin Leach.
Every now and then I think hey, maybe I’ll watch some stupid gits blow a bunch of money on television, but I cannot stand the host. Eeew. He makes me want to take a shower, and not in a good way.
Cheap as Chips!
