Logo for Bargain Hunt Famous Finds - Series 1 - Rakie Ayola and Charles Dale

Two television stars swap scrubs for Bargain Hunt fleeces. Rakie Ayola plays nurse Kyla Tyson in Holby City while Charles Dale plays popular porter Big Mac in sister programme, Casualty. The two actors are old friends - but it doesn't stop them both wanting to be the best bargain hunter. Rakie is joined on her quest for good buys by her father-in-law, actor Jack Smethurst, best known for playing the lead in the 1970s hit comedy Love Thy Neighbour. Charlie is helped by his wife Sara, a make-up artist. During the shopping at the Ardingly Antiques Fair in West Sussex, presenter Tim Wonnacott shows Rakie a fantastic medicine box which used to belong to Florence Nightingale, and which 'The Lady with the Lamp' took to the Crimea. The box, complete with its medicines and pills, was borrowed from the Florence Nightingale Museum in London. Charlie, who reveals he is mad about cricket, is blown away when he is shown one of the three replicas of the famous Ashes urns borrowed from Lord's. When they get to the auction in Wandsworth, will there be some heart-stopping moments as their items go under the hammer?
