Seen this four or five times now, not a bad concept but either the contestants are stupid or they are told not to answer questions when they know the answers but to spend time pondering a obviously correct answer. Ross Kemp is a reasonable host and does his best to add drama to a contrived tension. The questions are quite well thought out and are multiple choice elimination questions. Nothing can distract from the fact that the contestants seem reluctant to answer questions they clearly know the answers too but would rather prevaricate and loose time for no reason other than to build up tension, funny thing is, they do this and then often run out of time.

Watched a few of these out of boredom, it's a very poor imitation of a poor US show. Rigged auctions with supposedly everyday dealers. I am assuming it is scripted to some degree as cannot imagine why anyone would like to be portrayed as any of these characters. There is no humour in the show and none of the characters have any redeeming features. Sean Kelly (the original auctioneer from the US series) stands head and shoulders over the rest of the participants in as much as he looks down on them from a great height. To be honest never seen a sadder bunch of peevish self centered characters in any other TV show, and that includes Big Brother lol.
