Baggsie Bargain Hunt

Hooked on Bargain Hunt! There I've said it, big secret out in the open, slap bang in the spotlight for all to see. Pretended I was just waiting for the news. Now though, I settle down happily to watch Tim Wonnacott, cute Carlos Hanson and sniffy David Barbie strut their stuff.
You learn what's hot and what's not. Like the ladies' muff brush. Sweet little item, in silver. Every lady had one. To keep her muff tidy. Who'd have thought it.
Tat turns out to be Chinese carving, worth thousands. Satsumi doesn't mean an orange, it's collectable Japanese porcelain. Clarice Cliff is way too expensive, but Moorcroft is hanging in there. And anything silver, especially muff brushes. Well fancied, they are. Tim swooned over a bog-standard butter dish, said it could be worth hundreds. He's usually right.
Hideous pots go for bundles. The contestants almost come to blows. It's addictive, trust me.
