Antiques Roadshow UK Series 16 Episode 3 Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria

[@redwoods7370]

England is so fascinating. I have been there once long ago and would love to go back to see more.

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

You don`t say where you are from, but the whole of Europe is fascinating. I have seen things here that have left their mark on Europe for centuries. Eg, books found in a disused and walled up library in Valladolid, Spain, in which the printed words / paragraphs were `inked` out - and in their place the hand written opinions of members of the Order of Preachers : AKA The Spanish Inquizition. A rather dark part of the last half millenium. I don`t think that the library is open to the public. Certainly when I ( we ) were there it was a privaleged look around the part of that part of the college ( The English College, Valladolid ).

Why, are certain antique pieces worth so much? One of these appraisers said, "this is the work of a talented Craftsman, mastering his craft for decades! Skills developed, training, opportunity to practice, health of the Craftsman, have to all come together! "It's why some objects, seem to have a bit of magic to them!"

[@vampblckheartofdeath]

Imagine the amount of yes' these experts have heard over the decades. My God.

[@Ronbo710]

The Hilary Kay globe segment was priceless. Wonderful episode :) !!

[@dogwithwigwamz.7320]

I couls ait and watch these shows day after day - for weeks, but for the fact I must earn a living.

[@MrTadted1]

The people who follow the camera around just to get in shot - hilarious!

Henry Sanson is a TREASURE.

[@deathstarHQ]

He forgot to mention the other type of ship which was built at VSEL, AIRSHIPS, the R80 was filmed as it was revealed for it's maiden voyage, and was guided from the hanger by hand i think it's on KZbin.

The amount of time they used to give to brown furniture; they rarely look at it anymore; can't give it away.

[@Justabitnosey]

My older sister got rid of hers a few years ago she struggled to sell it. They have restored the Victorian features but said she couldn't get much in the wardrobes. I just think she needs to Kerry out of Primark.

[@simon-ec5kv]

It will come back

[@berits.2346]

The Brits are so lucky. They were a wealthy nation when furniture making developped to an art form, and had no destructive wars all over the country so those pieces could be saved and handed down for generations. Not so in continental Europe where people had to flee and leave bulky furniture behind. Sadly the generation today does not value having granny's buffet in their homes.

I could listen to Henry Sandon read the telephone book ❤️

[@hunkhk]

he is such a lovely bloke, fascinating knowledge and has a great way of interacting with the punters

[@TMPreRaff]

The woman at 17:45 says "yes" at least 31 times.

[@reubenwoodley96]

I counted 42 times. Yes yes, yes.

[@CarbonTalon]

lol I had just typed out a comment wondering how many times......it got annoying as fuck quickly!

[@jennyallworthy]

No no no....yes! Yes yes yes...no! Vicar of Dibley!

[@phwbooth]

In Lancashire until 1974.

[@stormspire]

I feel like they talk more about a different type of antiques in these older vhs shows than they do on the programs today. Is that due to changes in popularity? Or are these antiques also less common and come up less often than they used to? So for that reason are less often on shows?

[@TT-fq7pl]

Yes. A complete change in collecting taste and habits.

[@ladybird7845]

✔️

[@Playoutsquadfan]

1994 wow looks more like 1974

[@jdhardy79]

Looks like it, but in 1994 shows still use actual film and most of the people are in their 60's and 70's so they were in their prime in the 1960's and 70's so they dress like it. The first young guy at 5 minutes in looks very 1994.

[@shrek_has_swag2344]

It’s pronounced fur-nus no vur-ness

[@Justabitnosey]

And R-o-o-s-e not Roose

[@susanofhullhumberside4753]

[@dearnapst]

the piano furniture is ugly

[@888ssss]

boomers roadshow

[@TT-fq7pl]

is there another kind?

[@jdhardy79]

This is 1994 most of those gray haired folks are the parents of the boomers. My father, a boomer, would have been 40 when this episode aired.
