To fenlandfolly - you may not like the series but I would like to say that the shopkeepers most definitely are not paid by the BBC to take part. I was filmed in my shop recently with Thomas Plant for the new series being shown from January and I assure you there is no payment, its entirely voluntary - as well as nerve-wrecking! I don't know what the experts are paid but they are away from their real jobs and their families for days at a time. The competition is for charity as far as I know.
How comes they didn't do this in the 2nd series? It was disappointing because they didn't bother to do this bit. This was just as good as the whole series so don't know why they didn't do this, this year :(

Agreed. I really missed this bit! It was the best part.
