Career: In 1978, Wonnacott joined Sotheby's in London, becoming a junior director in 1983 and a full director in 1985. His work for the auction house was primarily in the furniture department, where he developed his knowledge of clocks, barometers, 19th-century sculpture and works of art, ceramics and silver. He left Sotheby's in January 2003 after 25 years to start his own fine art agency and brokerage business and further his media ambitions. He first began appearing regularly on TV in the early 1990s as an expert on Antiques Roadshow. His big break came in 2003 when he replaced David Dickinson as the host of Bargain Hunt. He has made guest appearances on a number of shows such as Test the Nation, Going for a Song, The Great Antiques Hunt, and Royal Upstairs Downstairs. In 2014, he signed up to appear as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.

Career: Wogan's first BBC job came in 1966 when he hosted radio's Light Programme. During the early days of Radio 1 he presented Late Night Extra, but made his name as the presenter of the Radio 2 breakfast show. He quit in 1984 to concentrate on TV work, but returned in 1993; Wogan eventually retired from the programme in 2008, and went on to present a Sunday morning show. He began presenting Children in Need in 1980 and was given his own TV chat show, Wogan, which ran three times a week from 1985 to 1992. His other TV work includes Come Dancing, Blankety Blank, Points of View and, until 2008, commentating on the Eurovision Song Contest. His version of the Floral Dance topped the charts in 1978. He died on January 31, 2016, after a short battle with cancer. He was 77.

Career: During the 1980s, Quentin had small, supporting roles in a number of projects. In the early 1990s she made appearances in Harry Enfield and Chums before landing the role of Dorothy on Men Behaving Badly in 1992, which eventually ended in 1998. Jonathan Creek offered Quentin a chance to delve into slightly more serious territory. Acting projects since include Life Begins, Blue Murder, Life of Riley, Just William, Dead Boss, Switch and Dancing on the Edge. Quentin also presents Restoration Home (she has dabbled in property restoration herself on numerous occasions) and has begun a second TV career as a travelogue presenter thanks to series such as A Passage Through India and Caroline Quentin's Cornwall.
