With Protocol with QVC now, if James can’t make a show, maybe he might ask Sally she may appear on QVC yet

SteveNah! You’re alright, I gave up buying $hit off the telly, or anywhere else a long long time ago - but I do know ( not personally) a bunch of people who I’m sure would be interested, you just have to download a little app!

Assume you mean eBay, Vinted, Gumtree or another suchlike?!

Actually, the one real thing I do have, (apart from an old Dansette), is a Six Million Dollar man bionic Steve Austin action figure in his Rocket ship, which converts into a mobile operating theatre!
Apparently now worth £250+.

Don’t know about others but I’m sure there is loads of my childhood stuff in the loft

 

[Jazzydrury]

I was more Barbie and Ala Carte Kitchens

 

[Professor Branestawm]

Well I'm bereft I only joined here for somewhere to vent my spleen about watch shows instead of shouting at the telly. Now there's an empty space in my life.

Me too!

I don’t think anyone should get to down about the demise of Ideal World,it was always going to happen.
If you want want your fix of comedy shopping tv,QVC will meet your requirements.
Delboy,2sizes2small, Knuckles, world renowned beauty therapist etc they are all there, just as bad as the bid up lot, but with a more efficient setup and terrible postal charges.
A multi million pound company how long will they last?
Who knows maybe the last one standing in a few years time

Interesting to me was that the Garden Bargains website is still live. I know that it was just a rebranded website of another garden site, You Garden?, But it is there and in the footer it has the IW address

 

[Jazzydrury]

Am I right in thinking IW haven’t been properly wound up yet
