Transmission dates for two new episodes of Bargain Hunt filmed in Lichfield

Final shows from ‘super shoot’

BROADCAST dates for two new episodes of BBC TV antiques programme Bargain Hunt featuring Richard Winterton Auctioneers have been revealed.

The episodes are the final two to be screened from a ‘super shoot’ at The Lichfield Auction Centre on June 16, during which six episodes featuring 12 teams of contestants were filmed.

The first upcoming new episode, Series 72 Southwell 20, will be transmitted on BBC One at 12.15pm on Monday, December 1.

The second, Series 72 Southwell 21, will be broadcast on BBC One at 12.15pm on Friday, December 12.

The latter sees presenter Natasha Raskin Sharp meet Bargain Hunt expert, Richard Winterton Auctioneers valuer and glass connoisseur David Fergus to talk through his collection.

With an impressive array of pieces from across Europe, David explains what to look out for if you’re thinking of starting your own collection – and how to spot a fake.

Experts Roo Irvine and Philip Serrell help out the Red and Blue teams in both episodes, where Richard Winterton yields the gavel.

Shopping for items to feature in the auction took place at an antiques fair at Southwell Racecourse in Nottinghamshire.

The other four episodes filmed in June were first transmitted in September and October.
