The latest instalment of Bargain Hunt promises excitement as it takes viewers to Newark Antiques Fair in Nottinghamshire for “Newark 23.” Hosted by Natasha Raskin Sharp, this brand new episode challenges fair-goers to identify a hand-held gadget from the 1950s complete with an old three-pin plug.
In addition to the mystery object challenge, two teams comprising friends and students Jodie and Layla (red team) and balloon entertainers Craig and Tony (blue team) embark on their own quests. Assisted by experts Catherine Southon and Mark Stacey, they navigate through various stalls within an hour timeframe. Jodie attempts to convince Mark about the investment potential of a pair of wooden clogs but faces resistance. Meanwhile, Tony’s eagle eye spots an old bagatelle board, potentially giving the blue team an edge.
The action continues as auctioneer Colin Young in Grantham provides his estimates on the teams’ lots. As the final hammer drops, surprises await both experts and their bonus buys. Who will emerge victorious and secure a lucrative deal?
