Watched the first three episodes then gave up. Trivialised casual drug taking at the end of the third episode..which confirmed the end for me …all in all disappointing

What have you done to my favourite lunchtime show? Today’s show has lost it’s flow. By changing the way the expert’s choice is seen, reviewed and sold has made the programme seem very disjointed. The new rules have also spoilt the shopping side of the programme. Having to buy an item of at least £75 makes sense but the challenge item, different for each team, takes away some of the contestants choice.... one of the things that made the show unique was that everyone was given free rein as to what they could buy.... anything from a giant gorilla to a tiny pig pin cushion! It doesn’t matter to the viewer who wins... and there ‘aren’t any losers just runners up’ so we don’t need the televised final round to see what the bonus buys did, we just want to seen the auction and the expert and contestant’s faces. Bring back the old format, with ot without the new £75 item, please.
