Next came more work for the BBC. He had a weekly feature on The Antiques Show, Buyers Guide, giving advice on a different antique area or collectable every week. Everything from eggcups to bathtubs with tea caddies in-between. You can pick up some of the tips he imparted by looking up the BBC website.

Bargain Hunt started in the spring of 2000 and aired at 11 o'clock each morning on BBC1 four days each week (Monday to Thursday) for the 10 week run, capturing the highest morning viewing figures of 1.2 million. A new series was broadcast in the Autumn increasing viewing figures to 1.8 million. Bargain Hunt has now completed it's fifth series with a three day run of live shows and there's a sixth series in the making. In the show David visits antiques fairs and show grounds with two teams who have a budget of £200 to spend on antiques. They then have to sell the goods on at auction and hopefully make a profit. The winner is the team who makes the most money. (Yes, I know you've heard the rules a hundred time before!) The shows also receives many repeat showings on BBC and UK Style. It has a laugh and learn formula. There's plenty of tips on buying antiques to be picked up and lots of laughs with David often taking up sale items as props. We've seen him trying on hats even sporrans! He provides the fun and the facts, some really awful puns and some captivating catch phrases.
