Sit-Up TV in Administration

Concerned that we haven't heard from David since this happened. I hope this hasn't affected him too much.

I've just rung price drop's 0800 number, which has currently got a halogen oven at £50.

Jokes aside, a sad conclusion to the company and for those who have lost their jobs.

The maintenance messages on both bid and price-drop's website have disappeared now.

To all my friends at bid tv and price drop tv I love you all xxxxxx

Seems like the company has gone into administration, and the channels are off the air, according to TV Live on twitter.

EDIT: Sorry for the repeat posting, as I was finding the tweet url and trying to get it to work on here, others posted!

And that reminds of this channel - QVC, selling TVs

Following the closure of Bid TV, Peter Simon has been named as the new host of Strictly Come Dancing.

I bloody loved Bid TV about ten years ago, but even since then always admired people who can talk live for hours on telly.

Sad day. Quite unsurprisingly it seems PriceDrop and Bid TV are no more. Have been watching their antics for 10 years or more #RipBidTV

No fan of this genre at all but always important to remember the people behind them in situations like this.

I haven't watched these channels in great detail for years, but I loved the anarchy they provided in the early days. Elisa and John, Peter and Marina on Bid and Sarah Hendy with Rachel and Greggles on Price Drop.
