The BBC has no advertising revenue, the lottery raises money for "good causes" and pays out prize monies to winning ticket holders.
How then? Do they pay £40,000 in prize money in this new show linked to the lottery draw, is it our licence fee money or are they using the money that's meant to be for good causes?
Either way its wrong.

Bargain Hunt is just wrong on a lot of levels , money aside.

The BBC does make money by other means which I guess it's able to channel into quiz show prize funds; DVD boxed sets, selling its shows to overseas broadcasters, sales of Radio Times (plus flogging advertising space therein), etc. Still doesn't justify Bargain Hunt's very existence though....

Most quiz shows are made by independent production companies who pay the prizes, they in turn make their money by selling the show to the Beeb and others. Still comes indirectly from your license fee though.0
