John Nolan lifts the ban on BBC filming Friday 18th June 2010

As you may remember back in January 2004  John Nolan banned the BBC from filming in his shop due to the fact that the program, Bargain Hunt would be filmed and staged in a fictional manor. Nolan thought this was misleading to the public and unethical.

Well on Friday 18th June 2010 he lifted the ban and allowed the TV cameras into his new shop at 8, Portland Street Southport. Yvonne Guy on behalf of Glasgow based S.T.V Productions Ltd. filming on behalf of BBC 2 was very pleased with her choice of location.

They had spent all day in Southport and Yesterday in Liverpool and had spent only £15 on a bamboo whatnot Pilgrims Progress, but when they entered John Nolan's antique shop on the corner of Portland Street and King Street their eyes lit up.... What a perfect location the crew said.

Jonathan Pratt T.V. celebrity and Auction House owner, half of the TV Antique Road Trip team of Jonathan Pratt and Charles Hanson chose Merseyside to do his part of the buying.

He bought two items from John Nolan, a beautiful draftsman set in a chagrin (sharks skin) case Circa 1800 for £70 and a set of perfume bottles by Coty for £30. Circa 1930. This leaves him £135 to spend in Chester tomorrow.

The Antique Road Trip Show allows each person in a team to buy £250 worth of antiques, which are then taken to auction. The member of the team who makes the most profit wins.

Let us see how much profit is left in these items.

The program Antiques Road Trip episode 13 airs on BBC2 at 5.15pm later in the year.
