Step into the World of Bargain Hunt!
Can you spot a bargain? Can you do it within an hour? If so, BBC’s bargain hunting show “Bargain Hunt” can
Get ready for an exciting clash of antiques and strategy as the Red Team faces off against the Blue Team in the beloved BBC series, Bargain Hunt! Both teams are armed with £300, one hour, and access to a bustling antiques fair. Their mission? To hunt for treasures they can resell at auction, aiming to turn a profit and claim victory.
The Rules of the Game
The teams work with expert antiques advisors who help guide their choices. But it’s not just about what the teams pick—there’s an added twist! After the teams have made their selections, the experts step in with any remaining cash to buy a Bonus Buy. Each team must then decide whether to gamble on their expert’s pick and take it to auction. Just because an expert has chosen an item doesn’t guarantee success—it’s a calculated risk that could make or break their final tally.
