Tim Wonnacott presents Bargain Hunt from Melbourne, where Tim Wonnacott and the experts help two Australian teams compete against one another. British expertise is provided in the form of David Barby and Paul Laidlaw, both of whom guide the teams through a frantic shop at a Melbourne antiques centre. Then it is off to Sydney, where the teams have to find out if they have truly bought a bargain. Tim also visits The Briars, a family homestead in the Australian countryside, named after the house Napoleon first stayed at when exiled to St Helena
