The BBC will begin filming for the new series in August/September 2023.
Interested candidates are strictly instructed to put “Dr Who” after their full name on the application form for a chance to be chosen.
The casting call was posted on the BBC website instead of the Bargain Hunt website.
The Twitter page that announced the Doctor Who news was @DoctorwhoPN, who penned: “The BBC is looking for Doctor Who fans for ‘Bargain Hunt’ for filming August/September 2023. Apply below. https://bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/bargain-hunt-application-form.”
Doctor Who and Bargain Hunt fans were quick to comment as one wrote: “How would that even work? Where would you find that much secondhand Who stuff ?And would it even sell at auction.”
A second commented: “Applied- forgot to put Doctor Who after my name though, although i did mention Doctor Who in my application. Hope this will be ok!”
A third penned: “This will be the funniest way to get the Daleks Master plan back”
A fourth expressed: “Cursing myself for living in NZ rn”
A fifth asked: “How did you find this out? I can’t find anything on the Bargain Hunt website.
A cut-off date for applications has yet to be confirmed.
Bargain Hunt airs on BBC One at 4.30 pm on weekdays.
