Definitely, the social element of it! I love people, and the best part of this role is meeting new people and working with an amazing crew where everyone is in sync. As a presenter, I feel it is very much my responsibility to make sure everyone has the best, easiest, smoothest and most fun day possible. When everyone finishes up for the day, and there are big smiles and laughter all round, that is the best feeling for me. The crew, the experts and the presenters all bring the contestants into the Bargain Hunt family, and I believe that element of fun and togetherness really comes across on screen!

The expert is still given any "leftover lolly" to buy this bonus item, which is entered into the auction. Just after the auction of their own items, and before that of the bonus item, teams must decide whether the auction results of the bonus item should be added to their own auction lots. Teams can potentially add to their profit with the bonus item, but it can also subtract from a team's earnings if it loses money.

Programmes are not necessarily broadcast in the sequence filmed, and one set of episodes can be split across different series. The show occasionally features well-known contestants, such as 'Allo 'Allo! stars Gorden Kaye and Sue Hodge.Be in the audience at a recording of the Graham Norton Show at Television Centre in London, plus drinks afterwards in the production green room. On average, the majority of contestants' items lose money: the teams are paying retail prices at fairs, whereas auction prices are generally lower. Large profits are fairly rare, though it is not particularly unusual for contestants to take home a small profit. Teams achieving the difficult feat of earning a profit on all three items are awarded a "golden gavel"; [2] originally a wooden trophy, but latterly a lapel pin. A separate celebrity version of the show premiered on 1 December 2008 on BBC Two featuring team pairs made up of one well-known personality accompanied by a friend or family member. The show is presented by Tim Wonnacott and the format is the same as the main show but Wonnacott's visit to see an antiques collection or stately home is replaced by a feature where each celebrity contestant discusses antiques with him. Wonnacott might show them a borrowed collection of antiques brought along for the show that he believes would interest the celebrity (this may be related to the occupation of the celebrity), and in turn the celebrity shows Wonnacott an antique or collectable belonging to themselves. There is no suggestion of what to do with any profit if the teams make any, but most decide to give it to charity. Series 2 began on 30 March 2009 and ended on 3 April 2009.
