Johnny Ball v Eddie Large

Eddie Large competes against Johnny Ball, trying to find bargains to sell for profit at auction. Experts Philip Serrell and David Barby give their advice.

Funny man Eddie Large has a new comedy partner when he tackles a bargain hunting challenge... his bubbly wife Patsy. He competes in Bargain Hunt Famous Finds against 'Mr Mathematics' Johnny Ball. Eddie and Johhny are old friends, having worked together years ago when Johnny also toured the circuits as a stand-up comedian.

But that friendship is put aside for friendly rivalry as they try to prove who is the best at finding bargains which could be sold for profit at auction. They are helped along the way by antiques experts Philip Serrell and David Barby.

Among the items found by Manchester City fan Eddie is a retro football-shaped radio, while Johnny and his partner, family friend Brenda, fall for a small British porcelain bowl.

And it is not a joking matter when their items come up for auction in Wandsworth.
