A countdown timer is now on www.bid.tv.

Looks like this return is serious.

interesting, I take it it will be web only?

Also would be more fun if there had this in the background. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXBWpAIqOoA

It looks like it. Unless they will have a live web only stream.

The old studio is currently up for rent on the Lean Forward website and the old Bid TV facebook page is active again still with negative customer comments from April 2014 around the time they closed.

From what I've seen on Twitter, the plan is web-only for launch with a TV launch at some point in the future.

I'd hazard a guess that it'll be distant future if that does happen!

Not only was it a channel that exuded the brilliance of the award winning Peter Simon, not only did the group of channels attract television royalty like the award winning Claire Sweeney, the award winning Paul Ross, and the award winning Terry Tibbs, not only did it relieve the woes and worries of the lonely gentleman on a dark evening sitting on his palliasse requiring just a little bit of company in the form of a painting of the late Thomas Kinkade - good luck if you get it. 0904... terrific buying. If you're on the phones, just 20 left across the United Kingdom. Three tenners and change, just push the number one.

I don't believe it. I was actually humming this to myself and then I read this thread and clicked on your link! Laughing

Bid did go a bit corporate and bland towards the end, but at it's peak in the mid noughties, both Bid and Price Drop had the anarchy of a bygone era mixed with selling, but it was selling a shed load of stuff on a daily basis.

It made QVC seem very stuffy in comparison, but the John Lewis of tv home shopping is still here.

It seems there's 4 hours to go for Bid.tv to launch.

Well the footer says "In the meantime why dont contact us" which doesn't exactly scream professional to me
