Container Wars

2013•2 series

There's something about auctions that has reality TV producers screaming `Sold!' Maybe it's the unpredictable nature of it - the buyer-beware roll of the dice - or the cast of unusual characters a sale attracts. One thing is certain - production costs aren't exorbitant, which means auction `wars' will continue to be contested onscreen. This entry moves the action to commercial shipping ports, where cast members compete against one another to buy the hidden contents of huge shipping containers. The winning bidders then decide what to do with their newfound cache - sell it, keep it or chuck it.
