BBC One viewers slam broadcaster as they spot big problem with latest episode of beloved daytime show
BARGAIN Hunt fans were left unimpressed after they learned that the latest episode broadcast on Wednesday afternoon (March 6) was a repeat that had already aired recently.
The beloved antiques show has a vast back catalogue of episodes that are usually aired on BBC One daily and then uploaded to iPlayer immediately.
Fans have taken to social media and complained about a repeat outing from season 58 hosted by fan favourite Christina Trevanion, which first aired three years ago in March 2021.
During the instalment, viewers were taken to Ardingly in Sussex, where they witnessed experts Nick Hall and Ochuko Ojiri helping the red and blue teams as they scanned a market with £300 to spend on antique items.
Music Therapist Ann and her retired husband Paddy were on the red team, and retirees Alan and Sally-Ann were their opponents on the blue team.
In the programme, the teams fished around for items which they believed would do well at auction while host Christina showcased the art and history of Persian carpets.

Neither team seemed to have an eye for a sellable item at auction, as both made losses.
Paddy and Ann were left disappointed as they made a £55 loss on their purchases.
Instead, Alan and Sally-Ann walked away victorious with only a loss of £11.
After the repeat episode aired, viewers were disappointed and took to X(formerly Twitter) to express their views.
One user said: "Crickey, this was only a week or so ago. Why don't they go back to the start.. #bargainhunt."
Another added: "I'm sure this was on not that long ago #bargainhunt."
A third wrote: "I’m remembering all these items. Shows how many times this has been repeated #BargainHunt."
Another followed: "Sure, I've seen this episode at least twice #bargainhunt."
A fifth chimed in: "Not another Covid episode ffs #bargainhunt," and later added, "When it's a repeat, can remember items but not if made profit #bargainhunt."
Most recently, a Bargain Hunt star has received support from fans after a member of his family was targeted by car thieves.
Auctioneer Phillip Serrell recently shared the terrifying ordeal his daughter went through when robbers nicked the keys to her vehicle.
