Just watched two of The Travelling Auctioners shows. Not impressed!! Would be a great programme if the people actually knew about the items for sale. As far as the repairs, absolutely disgusting, no thought or know how to do the jobs properly! The seat/foldable steps looked rubbish. There was a beautiful rocking horse which the guy totally ruined. It had lots of painted flowers on it. Sprayed a can of paint over it, then hand painted it. Looked awful. The last item was a large chest with handles detached. To repair, the guy put cocktail sticks in the holes & lots of glue!!!! That was enough. If I had done the repair, I’d be ashamed, especially it was on TV.

Yes, agree! Think they’ve lost the plot!! We’ve watched series 6 & currently 7. Not impressed!! Such a shame so much time has been given to Joe Lycett that the contestants are sidetracked from competing the challenges!! Earlier episodes were so much better!! Concentrating on the contestants , their seeing, skills & imaginative designs. Thinking on ditching this programme, very disappointed!!!!
