David Dickinson Career

TV career

Dickinson's television appearance at a barbecue in 1998, coincidenced with a chance meeting with a TV show producer at a barbecue, as well as a two-part documentary for the BBC about him and his plans for a show in Olympia. His dark skin (often assumed to be a fake tan) and numerous catchphrases grabbed viewers' attention quickly.

On This Morning and BBC Two's The Antiques Show, Dickinson came to public attention as an antiques expert. His career as a television celebrity began at lunchtimes, with Bargain Hunt on BBC One gaining a large following amongst daytime viewers, including students.

Following the success of the daytime show, a primetime evening version of Bargain Hunt was broadcast for a few years. Dickinson appeared on the daytime version of Bargain Hunt in 2003 and was replaced by Tim Wonnacott on the daytime slot, although Dickinson maintained the primetime, celebrity, and Christmas versions of the show. Dealing With Dickinson on BBC One in 2005, it was cancelled after only one series was shown. After the primetime editions of Bargain Hunt were cancelled, Dickinson left the BBC.

Dickinson joined ITV in 2006 to host Dickinson's Real Deal, which is shown on daytime weekday afternoons. Old episodes are often reprised. The show is touring around the United Kingdom, urging people to come in and either sell their antiques and collectibles for appraisal by an antiques dealer or who can pay for the item in cash. Alternatively, if the dealer's bid is turned down or no attempt is made to buy the object, the participants will gamble and go to auction. If the object fails to meet the dealer's terms or fails to meet its reserve, the participant takes a lower price than the dealer would have agreed. Dickinson's job is to act as a mediator to help the dealers get the best rates from them or assist them in deciding whether or not to decline the offer and take the item to auction.

The David Dickinson Show, a celebrity variety show, was shown on ITV from 17 to ten episodes on May 17. David Dickinson's Name Your Price for ITV was on display in 2017.
