THE most popular daytime TV show in Britain came to Ragley Hall, near Alcester, on Friday.

BBC One's Bargain Hunt show was at the huge estate but there was no Duke in site as the dapper and debonair expert Tim Wonnacott took his place.

Mr Wonnacott spent 10 years on the Antiques Roadshow and countless othershow featuring antiques before appearing on Bargain Hunt.

A spokesman for Ragley Hall said: "The programme should be coming out around February or March next year.

"The crew filmed in the Great Hall, the Prince Regent Bedroom and the north and south staircases.

"These scenes will be used for the links before the excitement of the auction actually takes place."
