Antiques Roadshow Special The First Ten Years 20/12/1987 Full Episode

[@nooneyoucaretoknow6986]

Thanks for posting this. I live in the States and loved PBS"s program from it's beginning. I watch every episode of UK. I'm a sucker for history with a good story

[@QuasiELVIS]

You watched every episode of AR? Holy shit.

[@yakuza2123]

One of the best tv shows ever

[@Ronbo710]

Love these early episodes.

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

Considering this was filmed in 1984, that chest of drawers was more valuable than the average price of a house in Britain.

[@trishrobinson5828]

A lovely program. Quite adorable. Thank you.

[@normafollet7156]

Good thank you.

[@darlamcfarland1826]

Live in US and love both BBC and PBS versions, but BBC is my favorite. You have items that are so much older, and lots of great art.

[@LighthouseLover1989]

As an American who used to watch the American version of "Antiques Roadshow," this is absolutely interesting seeing it from a British point of view. ☺️

That Tucan is a nutcracker. Indeed an item of purpose

[@Ronbo710]

Awesome. The *REAL* one and only :).

[@RGRGJKK]

Amazing program I love antiques :) specially vintage hand tools from Sheffield England :)

[@HannibalFan52]

I love the items, the history, and the presenters' knowledge and good humor. However, the best part is the people's reactions when they hear the value of the pieces.

Time stamp 22:33 “what is it?” I think it’s a nutcracker! Put the nut in the beak, lift the tail to crack, and the prices fall to the platform below. Yes? ⭐️

[@johnlarkin-i3z]

Dublin (Ireland) IS geographically part of the British Isles ...

[@berits.2346]

Back in the days when children were articulate and interested in their surroundings.

[@johnking5174]

Fans of the show maybe surprised at the strange opening title music to the show. In fact the title music which we are nearly all familar with now in 2022 was only used from the early 1990s onward.

[@judithsullivan9703]

"The expensive watches are still in the sort of home's that they were made for" ...after trying to reinterpret it that still seems to be an unwarranted insult.

[@pigoff123]

I store my tea bags in a vintage ice bucket.

[@johnleach7879]

Did anybody notice the difference between the '70s, '80s and now? Much less obesity then.

[@viviennehayes2856]

Oh dear!

[@lmo7724]

This is what TV used to look like back in the day, except sometimes it was even worse with static and interference

[@LSD123.]

And that was on a good day.

[@charlesfoster141]

Does anyone know the name of the delightful song in the middle of this segment (begins at the tea bag items).

[@dorothymarfleet35]

One of my favorite programs. Was the theme tune composed by J.S. Bach?

[@Wirraburra07]

"Where do you keep it now?" "In the garage." "In the garage?" "Yes, the wife won't let me keep it in the house!" Thanks for that exchange, I needed a laugh today but I got more than I bargained for! Considering the size of the boiler, I agree with the wife.

[@johnlarkin-i3z]

He should put the boiler in the house, and the wife in the garage ...

[@eecforeststewardship640]

I wonder if any of these paintings were ever proven, and how many might have gone on to be forgeries.

[@SweetUareDesi]

Player hater

[@viviennehayes2856]

One of the funniest thing to me is that Eric Knowles accent is much posher then than he has been for years!

[@npm2457]

@8:oo mins....the adorable, very articulate, young lady. You wonder what happened to her.

[@MM-Iconoclast]

Would have liked more actual appraisals and info and less quick shots and funny music.

[@DMan-G]

22:39 Mike Myers enters the conversation

[@LSD123.]

A thing of purpose, lol. Now ill be saying that to my son instead of go ask your mother...

[@Bamboule05]

Is it just me or were some of the value estimates exceedingly optimistic? Even then...

[@regbrenchley1322]

hilary kay gets more beautiful each year!!!

[@bruce8429]

could handle all the advertising for insurance in the US but why do the Brits do it.... Advertise for Woodmen of the World insurance I mean. I'm sick of hearing about WOW insurance with them ever showing of Woodmen of the World tombstone. Then they can say WOW!

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

Back in 1987, when this episode of TARS was first aired, there was no advertising at all on The BBC.

[@johnleach7879]

Sorry, this doesn't have the quality of the BBC tapes.

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

This is The BBC, so what are you on about ?
