News about David Harper

Bargain Hunt fans were left enraged after experts guided both teams to huge losses on a repeat episode of the show. The re-run saw father-daughter duo Lee and Bijou go head to head with red team rivals David and Sophie as they battled it out for the prestigious Golden Gavel. But viewers were less than happy with both the red and blue's performances, slamming Raj Bisram and David Harper as 'pitiful' in their guidance.

Bargain Hunt has found some amazing finds and has amassed some significant money. Since the show first appeared on television on March 13, 2000, there have been a number of strange items. Some of the most unusual products have earned the most money, from strange Victorian relics to vivid yellow 'teapots.' MailOnline takes a look at all the bizarre and rare products that have been selling for soaring prices since being discovered on the show.

Experts have found that they are often sold out to charity shops or left to gather dust in the attic, but your favorite childhood books may well be worth a fortune. A completely working copy of the first edition of The Very Hungry Caterpillar (1969) may sell for more than £12,000, while a first edition of Dr Seuss' book The Cat In The Hat (1957) could be worth £13,300. It comes after a missed proof copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on sale at Bishton Hall in Staffordshire cost just 13p, after a private UK buyer made the winning bid at Hansons Auctioneers at Bishton Hall. The book, which was bought at a secondhand book store in 1997 as a 'throw in' with a handful of other novels for a total of $40p, misspells JK Rowling's name as 'JA Rowling' on the inside cover and uses the author's full name 'Joanne'.

The spectacular immersive sound and light show is supposed to be shown throughout the Medieval cathedral in Cambridgeshire's interior walls until February 10. Visitors will travel through history from William the Conqueror to Queen Victoria, with large scale photographs of jewelry and royalty covering the cathedral.

This year, Lincoln's oldest Christmas market was called off due to a "significant danger to public safety" as market organisers around the country cite rising costs, falling footfall, and crowd control as key concerns. Markets in Brighton and Felixstowe have also been called off, while in Durham the 'Christmas' market has grown into a more 'Winter' market this year in the hopes of being more diverse. Poor weather has also caused additional difficulties for organisers: punters were turned away after muddy conditions caused a'swamp' in the parking lot, with even rescue vehicles becoming stuck. Many are facing allegations that they have 'cancelled Christmas', as light shows have been cut across the UK as cash-strapped councils continue to balance their budgets.

The Bowes Museum's decision to rebrand its annual festive event to 'Winter Market' has been met with dismay, with it being said that the change was made in an attempt to bring in more visitors. Calls have been received for the Durham museum's 'bonkers' decision to be reversed by BBC Antiques Road Trip expert David Harper, who said they are destroying Christmas. In 1892, John Bowes, a distant cousin of the Queen Mother, who was born Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, founded the art gallery in Barnard Castle. Her Late Majesty lived at the museum from 1962 to 2002, before her death in 2002.

Lake Natron is a primary mating ground for less vulnerable flamingo, but animals will be permanently frozen in its salt if they dare to venture near its shores. Bacteria, which give the water its blood red color, are some of the few animals that can withstand the water's regular 78°F (26°C) heat, deadly salt concentration, and alkalinity. According to ecologist David Harper of the University of Leicester, bodies that sink into the water decompose quickly, while those that fall on the sea's edge are 'encrusted in salt' that 'lives forever."

The controversial National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) is bringing fear into the lives of some of Australia's most influential people long before it has even become law. 'Everyone needs to watch out,' the Attorney General, Mark Dreyfus (pictured left) said on Sunday. The NACC, which has been described as a federal version of NSW's Independent Commission Against Corruption (logo pictured top right), will have the ability to tap MP's phones, as well as encrypted applications such as WhatsApp (pictured below).
