It could be one of these things:
1. Peter Simon's having a baby.
2. They've found more tanzanite and this is your VERY, repeat VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY LAST CHANCE to buy such a precious gemstone that's admired all the world over, as found in the darkest depths of Kilimanjaro in the foothills...
3. One or more of the Bid presenting team are actually genetically-engineered alien mutants, hence the source of Mike Mason's catchphrase.
4. "We were lying to you viewers at home all along. And WE DON'T CARE."
5. Bid TV has been taken over by Rupert Murdoch who wants to use it as his in-car sex toy.
6. Stephen Gayford has stopped painting and has taken up thai boxing instead. "Buy these limited edition Gayford kimonos and receive a signed pair of Gayford gloves free of charge..."
7. The revelation that Tommy and Kate aren't real.
8. "We're now bringing back rising price auctions but with a twist. The price only rises if Peter Simon accidentally says (beep)..."
9. "The worry angels have become sentient and have taken over part of London's Olympic Village. Rumour has it that they have their own entourage and will exclusively feature in some of the track and field events..."
10. "We're giving away literally EVERYTHING at Bid TV, so if you want the shirt off Steve McDonald's back, start dialling now..."
11. Mark Ryes is secretly a world-famous musician, Marina Berry is revealed as the actual painter of Stephen Gayford's pictures and Peter Simon's age is really 24 and a bit.
11. "Zyxyxhfkahkefwhlkhfeukhifehbfrhurehbvuirehbvuiorehbvuoirehbvghruboruegobhreuvw..."
However I'm betting that it's just an announcement that this Friday Bid TV will be selling products a little bit cheaper than usual (not really but they always like to say that) :wink:
