The BBC show Bargain Hunt is a daytime TV favourite, but there's plenty going on behind the scenes that viewers might not be aware of when it comes to the red and blue teams
Appearing on the popular BBC show Bargain Hunt might seem like a distant dream for many of us. However, for some enthusiastic antique hunters, this ambition becomes a reality.
Each antique fair day provides enough footage for four or five episodes of the show so they won't be the only buyers present on the day. Family and friends are not permitted to attend the filming, although anyone in the background of a shot could appear on TV unless they ask not to be filmed. As for potential profits, each team receives £300 from the show's bosses to buy various items, with any remaining funds going towards a bonus item selected by their accompanying expert. After auction, participants pocket the proceeds from their sales.
