Devoted viewers of the BBC's beloved antiques programme Bargain Hunt have been left utterly gobsmacked after discovering the show has been gracing their screens for an incredible 21 years.
The daytime favourite, which sees two teams compete to make the highest profit at auction, first aired back in 2000 and has since become a staple of British television.
Social Media Erupts with Disbelief
Fans took to social media in their droves to express their astonishment at the milestone. One stunned viewer wrote: "21 years? I remember watching this after school!" while another admitted: "This makes me feel ancient."
The revelation sparked a wave of nostalgia among long-term followers, with many sharing memories of watching the show with family members over the years.
From Wonnacott to Current Presenters
While many still associate the programme with its original charismatic presenter Tim Wonnacott, the show has continued to thrive with a rotating team of experts including Charlie Ross, Natasha Raskin Sharp, and Christina Trevanion.
The format's enduring appeal lies in its perfect blend of competition, history, and the thrill of the auction hammer - a combination that has kept audiences hooked for more than two decades.
As one emotional fan perfectly summed up: "Twenty-one years of orange fleeces and questionable purchases. Here's to many more!"
