Bargain Hunt











Hungerford Arcade recently played host to a celebrity version of BBC Television's popular TV Series 'Bargain Hunt'. Chefs Gary Rhodes and Brian Turner joined Tim Wonnacott  in a search for the Arcade's hidden treasure. 

This episode of Bargain Hunt Famous Finds is scheduled for transmission on BBC2 at 17.15 on Thursday 26th March. Keep an eye on the TV schedules beforehand as times can vary slightly depending on last minute scheduling alterations.

Both teams seemed to enjoy themselves whilst they searched for three items to sell at auction. We won't spoil the surprise by telling you what they bought, though!

The team kindly allowed a photographer to follow them around, and some shots have been included below:

Gary Rhodes and his wife examine a potential buy with expert Mark Stacey.

Mark is very familiar with Hungerford Arcade, as he used to have a unit here. We won't say that having old friends on the premises gave him an unfair advantage though!

Gary Rhodes - considering some silver, possibly?
