We have a similar show in the UK, also called Antiques Roadshow. One of the few TV shows I actually enjoy watching. Alas I was away when it came to Coalville, so I couldn't take any classic computers to see how they reacted... I'm not sure of the accuracy of some of their comments though. Examples from when my parents caught it at their town (and got on TV!): 1. My mother took some WW2 propaganda posters. Was told they were almost worthless. Later on, an official came up to her and said they wanted to film the posters. So they went through the same rigmarole again. But on camera she was told they were worth at least 100 pounds (I can't remember whether each or for the set) 2. My parents also invited them to look at some antique furniture in situ. One writing desk they were particularly interested in, shipped it to the filming venue, etc. They pointed out all the things to look for, and claimed that the evidence proved it was original and had never been restored. My father forebore to say that it had come back from the restorer's workshop only 2 months earlier - and we'd all seen the state it was in before it went... (We think they must have lost a lot of footage that day. A lot of interesting things they filmed weren't shown, and they filled up time with pointless activities that had little bearing on the antiques...) Philip.
