Bargain Hunt aficionados were left feeling miffed as they settled down for the latest instalment of the fan-favourite BBC show.

With renowned auctioneer and TV personality Charlie Ross guiding the ship alongside antiques aficionados Caroline Hawley and David Fergus, the episode captivated viewers and transported them to Norfolk, particularly King’s Lynn and Swaffham.
