BARGAIN Hunt has landed an extra special one-off show to commemorate its 25 years on-screen.
The long-running BBC show will be marking its silver anniversary next month and will be dipping into its archive for the most memorable moments ever from the antique-based game show.
Titled 25 Years of Bargain Hunt, the special show looks set to air on March 13 with the show’s hosts past and present coming together for the show.
Some of the programme’s most classic moments will be broadcast in the special round-up with many of the experts also returning to share their best memories on the show.
A synopsis for the special reads: “Enjoy the ride as they delve into the show’s archive, digging out clips from the days when David Dickinson was at the helm. It was primetime viewing with all the fun of live auctions.
“Charlie Ross, with the help of his co-presenters, lifts the lid on some of the secrets from those early days, and experts Philip Serrell, Kate Bliss and Thomas Forrester spill the beans on their fondest memories.
“Thomas also reveals that the late great Terry Wogan had a thing or two to say about him and his team after they made a huge loss on the show.”
Current show expert Roo Irvine will also be taking a look at the different times the show made the headlines.
A surprise celebrity cheating scandal that rocked the programme involving Happy Mondays star Bez will most certainly be on the agenda.
The performer was kicked off the programme and disqualified after his girlfriend Firouzeh Razavi was unmasked as the highest bidder on his team’s items.
Show expert Thomas told The Sun last year of the incident: “We had the big scandal with the music one when Bez‘s girlfriend – now wife – bid on the lots herself. It was just so naughty.
“They had to re-film the whole thing. They had to go back, do an inquiry, say this is not how it happens, you’re not allowed to do this.

It made Gogglebox – people cheating on Bargain Hunt.
“Bez and his girlfriend [got a big telling off] yeah they did. But it was all in good humour.”
Roo will also take a look at an on-screen marriage proposal that took the show by surprise as well as some other hidden gems from the show’s vault.
