This is my Town and I was 1 year old when this was filmed. It's strange seeing people with big bushy hair, big round glasses and posh voices. Strange how that has all changed.
insurance is expensive. sometimes people can't really afford to keep these items because of that, or they know the environment they live in is not great for an item of that quality even if they love it.
The "fuddling cups"? As a defender of BBC, I'll talk to H.S., and if his recollection doesn't match yours, you're in deep trouble. This assumes, or course you're willing to travel to Sarasota, Florida. Giggles are allowed.
I LOVE how the British (REAL) version of Antiques Roadshow never felt the need to be dramatic and plaster the price across the screen after each item. Verbally was enough. And I am American
Yah American here and BBC Antiques Roadshow is just better. Love the history lesson at the beginning and the recaps at the end. No gaudy prices plastered around. Just better.
I’m enjoying this, but wondering how old the program is. From the hairstyles, the wrist watches, the eyeglasses, I’m guessing from the 1980’s ... I do wish there was some indication of when the event took place....
Filmed in 1994, broadcasted in 1995. It’s likely that most people are wearing clothes from a decade before. The British make their clothes last a long time. :)
@@ukvhsarchive9562 I'm American and we used to make our clothes last too. The inundation of inexpensive offerings in stylish variations (and time has shown a decreased durability) seems to have increased the rotation of my attire in recent decades! Perhaps that's a "good thing"? ;)
The gentleman who appraised the Indian ivory tourist plaques got it wrong. Shaw Jahan Built the Tag Mahal for his wife. He is pictured on several of the plaques The thin faced man with the dark beard.
