Don't miss new property show, Phil Spencer Secret Agent, only on LifeStyle this month.
Luke Van Dyck has fixes for large tree roots, drainage issues and more.
Bargain Hunt, presented by effervescent host and Antiques Roadshow expert, Tim Wonnacott, challenges people to turn bargains into profit.
Two teams are given a sum of money each and have just one hour to trawl the stalls and seek out a bargain which they hope to sell later for a higher price. Not only do the contestants learn about the pitfalls of selling and buying at an auction, there is also advice on restoration and how best to present an item for sale – sometimes careful cleaning can make all the difference.
Even with expert help, the teams discover it's not as easy as it looks, but there are plenty of laughs and lessons along the way. As each item comes under the hammer, which will fetch the best price? And who will win, the red team or the blue?

you have been advertising about new Bargain Hunt starting this week, January 2012.. O.K. where is it, still same old repeats. come on ,get your act together, we pay enough for Foxtel,so let us have new shows.
also. having applied a few times to join Bargain Hunt Australia, as i know many people must have done, it would have been corteous to reply to applicants one way or another,
I would be very interested to know how the Aussie teams of Bargain Hunters were selected.
As far as I can tell and from comments from mates in the UK, they were already here and filming before the Ads for the series were aired last June.
Very disappointing for would be contestants and some very disparaging comments from same mates in the UK who are seeing these epis right now.
I have enjoyed Bargain Hunt for many years now but lately the quality of contestants has gone down. Why are they given 300 pound if they only spend less than half of that? Isn't the idea to buy something worthwhile to sell at auction? Some of the rubbish the so called experts suggest would be rejected at a charity shop!! I love the section that Tim does about old houses and history but please can someone encourage the contestants to spend the money and buy things that sell for a profit. As well maybe Tim can find some better experts who can find good quality bargains or could they buy items at auction then sell at the markets - they would probably make more money.
sick to death of your so called arrogant english moron experts putting australia down. Please all of you and your relatives stay in your god foresaken bleak country
Who taught Tim to Bastardis the Queens english we live in AUSTralia not AUWWStralia get it right
when are they gonna show the bargain hunt in australia
I love watching the show but wonder about the contestants . . . . where on earth do they get them from? The local Dental Hospital?? It's very rare to see any of them with a decent set of choppers! Is this due to the poor public medical/dental scheme in the UK? Can't wait to see the Aussie shows which are dur to air here soon. Hopefully they'll all have decent teeth!!!
I saw a show about a week ago on our local channel where they had a green glass vase that was painted with gold leaves and flowers on the outside and the glass was frosted. They said it was Parmecony??? Can anyone tell me what it was as I don't know the correct spelling and have a similar vase. I've tried to google it with no success
Above it says that Bargain Hunt is heading "down under", which I assume is Australia. It includes a link to apply to be on the show, however when you select the link it returns "page not found". Oooppsss....looks like an error.
I hate the fact that the contestants are actually in the auction room, the show clearly knows this effects the outcome. The compere is woeful.
how long is Catherine going to be on the show?Catherine does not anything to the show as she appears to know little about the items the contestants are buying or the items she selects.if she is continually promoted on the majority of shows i fear you will be losing loyal veiwers.she patronisers the contestants to cover her lack of knowledge.also she doesent have the passion the other presenters have.this cannot be faked.
Could you tell me, when the teams remaining amount of money is handed to their team expert at the end of the day and they only spend a small amount on their object, what happens to the remaining cash in their pockets?
If they keep it then they will obviously buy the cheapest item they can! Just wondered thats all,love the show an ex pom
We have just come across this fantastic site and planning to be frequent visitors. We are launching an online business valuespotters.com.au, if you might need some other Bargain Hunt. We have got some great ideas from here and also share ours.
We were one of the couples taking part in BArgain Hunt Australia, filmed recently in Sydney. Its a great show & we had a terrific time - all the BH crew were fantastic. Its a great show that everyone can watch - its not about how much you can win - its the challenge. Wont spoil it by telling you how much we made.... :)
Hi tracey, we have only been told that hey will air sometime between November and January we should be getting emails soon about when the show airs in aus
Hi Katy (and Mark) do you know if the aussie section is in series 27 starting in october? and congrats for getting on the show! :)
i agree katy it was fun and the crew were fantastic we were red team in sydney my wife and myself
The most annoying thing about the show is Tim's phrases - always saying the same thing on every show. eg. "Left over lolly" (which I utterly detest) and "Wiped its Face" When I know these phrases are coming up I turn the sound off.Find new phraseology Pleeeaaase Tim.
This should be fast tracked.
Have just met Tim Wonnacott at a charity antique event here in Brisbane Queensland Australia. What a lovely man, so friendly and charming, what you see on TV is what you get, so thrilled to have had my photo taken with him.
I love this show - but why can't the episodes be shown in order?????
Does any one know yet where and when?
There has been no mention on Lifestyle since the first ads in mid June, there's no seperate application form (That I can find)and no info on the main Lifestyle page.
Maybe they changed their minds?
The Strathalbyn Antique and collectables fair on the 20-21st August, with a dinner at The football clubrooms. See council site for more details http://www.alexandrina.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=895
Love the show and would really like to know if it is visiting Adelaide on their trip to Australia?
My favourite show on Lifestyl channel. Watch it every day. Love to guess which team is winning, love to learn about the antiques and love the mansions Tim Wonnacott is visitin.:-) Anna
I applied for this show but so much I love this show and need to give my girlfriend some lust for life after her recent husbands death . She really needs this after mentioning I had entered her she laughed which makes me happy. Which now days are few and between she really needs this please Tracie Babich
when is bargain hunt coming to australia
Anje I love Bargain Hunt. Here in Australia the show is on every night on one of our local channels. Never miss it. Tim is such a character and I like how he asks questions about the contestants. Hope the show continues forever.
This show is the best show in the world
love <3 love <3 love this show. never miss it. I want to go to an English antiques fair. we dont have things like that here
there was an antiques fair here in Sydney only a couple of months ago but i didn't make it. How sad that was
Me Too. It looks like so much fun
I love everything about bargain hunt but please tell Tim to get a dictionary and look up the words sliver and slither.
my hubby makes the same mistake
I LOVE BARGAIN HUNT ..... ITS ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE GREAT FUN.... AND TIM HELPS TO MAKE IT THAT WAY......
YEP I AGREE . ITS GREAT !!
Forget about bargain hunt. Tim Wonnacott is a role model for all dandies! Every bow tie he wears inspires me more...
how much is the most a team has won in one show ?
I saw a show a few years ago where a team won over 400 pounds just on a copper trunk. The one and only time I've seen such a huge win. I love the show anyway
it's ok i have found out 610 pounds
what a ... show u give pittence to your contestants & reap a harvest total garbage
Hey, it's all in the name of fun! People wouldn't go on the show if they didn't think it fair. :oP
Don't watch it then, some people actually enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When will new episodes start again. I saw an episode being filmed in London in April. It has already been on tv in the uk a couple of months ago. How many years will it take to be shown here? Am I right in thinking hte latest episodes are 2008? The money spend was 600.
i have been a bargain hunt fan for nearly ten years now , it is getting a bit tired lately i have a idea to make it fun and exciting . you have one team with a expert still and $300 but you have to buy and beat tim wonnacott . tim also gets $300 and he gets to buy 3 items and if you can beat him at the auction you can gloat . this i would like to see can you imagine tim finding gems to sell and this makes the expert and his team pull there finger out to try and match it with tim . this would be rivetting viewing . no junk up for sale just quality items not like some of the junk we have seen lately .
I just received an email - 2nd of August - reminding me not to forget to watch Bargain Hunt on Friday the 30th of July! Not only is this late but according to the "August what's on Lifestyle" email the new series doesn't start until the 23rd of August and this is the series I supposedly registered to be reminded of!
It is at least five years since the money for the teams was changed to 300 pounds (three hundred), so when is the information going to be updated?
so true!!!
I was just thinking the same thing when I read the 200 pounds bit. It's about time something was done about it!!!
