This is my interview with Drew Pritchard from Salvage Hunters. This took place on 3-5-22. At the end of this interview there are a couple of little exclusives!!
Just started watching your show a month or so ago...LOVE IT!!! I live in an apartment and many of my things are very old, from Thrift Shops...and I'm an artist...so I have one wall over flowing with portraits of grand children, children...a panther, cougar...etc...and most of my lamps look like they are from the 1800's...I fell in love with antiques a while ago, and LOVE your style...I'm 76, and just found your show a few weeks ago...I live outside of Boston, MA USA...it is a thrill for me to see what can be done with your finds and the extreme talent of the restorer's....Thank you ...
I really appreciate what you do. I find it entertaining, informative and educational. Thank you Drew. Give T a chance once in a while to enjoy a beer or two
So good to see this interview. Very interesting to watch salvage hunters. Hope Drew does not tire himself out with so much going on. Best. Calgary Canada.
Thanks for doing this interview! I love Drew! I met him in 2017, got his autograph tattooed on my arm. He is so natural, so nice, and whoever is lucky enough to meet him will probably be so in awe of doing so! He's just so normal.
I wonder if Drew is aware of how many international fans he has! I'm a Blackpudlian but have lived in Haiti for the past 40 years! Thank goodness we now have internet to stay connected!!
Interesting interview. I hope the new series will be coming out soon., and also hope that T will be a part of this fascinating programme. Absolutely love that photo/painting of Drew behind him. It really is stunning. I also like Drew's new smile. Truly nice. P.S. Applause for his new creative work!
I will tell you why I like the show Drew, because it's real. Not a bunch of overpaid BBC, ITV, Channel 4, prats running around giggling while pissing public money up the wall.
Großartig. Wenn man nicht aufgibt, seine Träume zu Leben und dran zu glauben und, nicht aufzugeben und zu Kämpfen und sein Ziel nicht aus den Augen zu verlieren. Denn das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen, wie man Sieht. Auf diesem Wege weiterhin Viel Erfolg
A big fan of Drew's . I'm from the North Eastern part of India i.e. Meghalaya . l like his choice of items whether big or small. . I wish i could buy even a small item from his shop and pray that it will reach safely to my hometown. Oh ! How lucky for people who get to buy from Drew's handpicked and exquisite choice of items from his shop in Conway .
Estoy encantadísima de haber recibido la notificación. Me encanta tu voz, es la primera vez que te oigo hablar así de seguido, pues te oigo un poquito en los programa muy temprano aquí desde España😉. Es un placer te envío abrazos y muchísimos besos, me encantas, y tu compañero es un amor ,le tengo mucha ternura , un abrazo y deseando ver los nuevos capítulos , bueno ...y por cierto siempre la mayoría de las veces llevas esa chaqueta azul , es por algo especial o es por sistema de trabajo ? ,Saludos😘
Taz you did a great job in this interview... And I have many years as a radio journalist for major radio stations. Don't let the naysayers define you. Liked your response too.
@@tazuncut3065That I do Taz. The more interviews you do, gives u experience to improve.. I've been a fan of Drew's for 2 years and yet I learned a few things during your interview. Best wishes.
I couldn't really understand what this interviewer was saying. His pronunciation wasn't very clear. I only understood the questions by Drew's answers, who spoke clearly.
I love salvage hunters I’ve been a fan. For at least 8 years. I know drew is the main man but for me.with out T. Just wouldn’t be the same he’s a character n half I bet he’s a great person behind the scenes but to be honest I love it. And all the salvage crew brilliant. I ll watch it on quest. N then watch it again on quest plus one stay safe salvage hunters. N keep filming more episodes ❤❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👍
Tee es el mejor. Me acuerdo en un programa que Drew encuentra un baul y pregunta a Tee. para qué serviría este baul?. Y le responde: para guardar arañas?. Jajajaja. En otro capítulo, Drew se mete dentro de una bañera grande antigua. Tee se le acerca y le dice: te traigo el patito de goma?. Jajajajaja
I've been wondering if there was going to be a new series soon, came across this interview by accident. I bet the comedian is Jim Davidson, Teeth done, looking good, cant wait for the new season obviously with the travelling also. Someone mentioned Ricky Gervais, could be, not actually sure how much of an international "megastar" Jim is really and he's into boats, not sure about antiques.
What I like about Salvage Hunters is where’s it’s located, I think Drew, Tee, Gavin, Rebecca are interesting and likable. And it’s amazing how these craftsmen can transform old items to be clean and repaired. Drew’s willingness to look anywhere for ‘finds’ is daunting, but he always finds something, his taste is very eclectic, I’m always surprised with items he chooses. The wheeling and dealing is interesting, every seller is so different. I’d love to see added where some of Drew’s sales have gone. Like on a movie set or recluse’s wall. Where did the house of The Hound of the Baskerville’s fireplace mirror go? Where is it hanging? What do it’s buyers say about. Call this spin off Salvage Buyers. Drew is very knowledgeable with history, items’ uses, values, a vast encyclopedia of facts and details. He’s not a snooty highbrow antiques dealer. That he’ll rummage on his belly thru old pig stys is proof of his determination to find ‘lost’ things, revive them, save them. And he does all this with dignity and the will to make his way in the world.
Hi. No I've been doing interviews for 5 years now. My dad started it to help build my confidence as I have bad eczema and, as you can imagine, I was picked on at school. We just carried on doing it as I like doing it and I enjoy the time with my dad mostly and working together on them. It's great meeting people like Drew and the bands I like.
Great interview and has aroused suspicion who the 'Mega star' could be.. I am not a fan of Johhny Vegas and don't find him that funny so not sure another top name would appeal and might deflect from the real topic of Salvage Hunting.. I think another aspect of the success is, due to the huge amount of traveling they do, everyone can resonate with a location he has visited.
Thank you. I've tried working it out but not got very far. I am a fan of Johnny Vegas and really would love to interview him. And I agree that it could deflect from the salvage hinting aspect but it is only for one show. And of it gets new fans on, all the better. Thank you for your interest.
@@tazuncut3065 I got the impression that when Drew stated that it was 1.30 am and they had to get up for filming at 7.30am and Vegas kept cracking jokes, he meant just shut the f### up as we want to get some sleep. I reckon Vegas would get on your tits after a while imo.. The success also lays with Drew and Tee bouncing off each other and Tee's quips.. You certainly did get a scoop..Well Done again!
Hi Taz..It's been a year and there hasn't (afaik) been any announcement of a new show with a major celeb? I know that very recently this week Tee has left the show which will be a shame as he fitted perfectly into the show (and the hard work). Any idea who it is that doesn't mix with the others on the show?
I live near his old shop which he never let anyone in without appointment. .plus he got barred from every pub in the village for cheating on someone's wife..
1. What's wrong with entry by appointment only. 2. You are actually wrong there. 3. So what? Why would you put that in a comment? Is it a jealousy thing? The guy has says he has very little education. He's self made and quite frankly a genius. Be happy for him.
Didn’t he have an affair with a local woman then taunt her husband in a pub? From what I read about Drew Pritchard… he’s not the nice bloke people think
Interviewer mumbled the questions, I have no idea what most of the questions were. Maybe it was a sound issue but If that's your best don't give up your day job.
Day job?? Clearly Keith you've not read my about section, I'm 16, a student! My dad does the cameras, editing etc. I don't make a penny doing this, it's a very low budget hobby. 95+ interviews done and only you have complained about mumbling. Maybe it's a speaker/ headphone/ volume control issue at your end.
If he’s going to America for that, it might be John Oliver. Gervais hasn’t had a podcast recently, Billy Connolly is not well enough, I can imagine Stephen Fry liking the show, but is he primarily known as a comedian? Hugh Laurie? Steve Coogan? I can think of lots of great British comedians, but not of any other British comedy “megastars”. Eddie Izzard?
He's done it again, hasn't he? We are all now thinking 'Who?' Such a shrewd operator, but I like his mindset. The thing about trees and re use. I never throw Anything away without thinking 'Can I reuse this? But I am Not a hoarder, in fact I own very little. I just adapt packaging for use in the kitchen, feed my leftovers to street cats and birds, take stuff to charity shops ( I volunteer for one) buy Everything I can 2nd hand ,live very well on reduced foods and so on. I watched a Nick Knowles thing earlier with all these dreadful hoarders, and I was horrified by what got thrown away. They did recycle a lot, by sending it to charities and so on, but there were whole skips full of things that Could have been reutilised. Everything from kids toys to planks from unwanted furniture. I was going' Nooo! That wood can be re used! Those toys could go to a kid in Africa! Or a bombed out child in a war zone. All those clothes can be re invented, in one way or another. Stop it!' We are so damned wasteful in the West. In the mad rush for 'Progress' and 'Stuff' we have forgotten what really matters. I suspect I am one of the last UK generations who were brought up to Value everything. Because my parents and grandparents Had to. They went through 2 wars, a Recession and they appreciated everything and taught me to do the same. We are getting to a point where we are going to have to go back to that, and I am not sure if current generations have a clue. Some do, so I am putting my faith in them. And the rural communities world wide who never lost it.
I would Love that! I don't; like Ricky's comedy, but I think he is a great bloke! His politics, his take on the Climate, Human and Animal Rights are pretty near my own.? Spain will be fantastic, because I live here ,and I find it very difficult to find anything old or quirky. They chucked most of it! They are only just coming around to the idea of Charity shops, and then only on the coast. They prefer to leave unwanted stuff by the bin, for someone else to take.
Thanks for your comments. However if you read the description about the channel, I have dyspraxia which makes asking questions and delivering them kind of awkward for me. I do try and my confidence is getting better. Please bare with me.
Nobody seems to get the truth about this guy. His shop at Liberty's-failed .his shop in Conwy-failed, He Put all his "bad buys" into Dreweatts Auctions on March 5-6 2024 to pay off his debts of the " fat end" of almost a Million. He pretends it's all his own " Personal Collection" But it's all the stock and mistakes he's overpaid for and can't sell. Imagine how well he might have done if he had a BIT of an ego. ha!!
Ma drew è un' antiquario? non si direbbe. ) -: Salendo su una Ferrari dice che le auto italiane sono pessime! Glorificando quelle inglesi!!!! Vera boiata intergalattica! Véritable boiata intergalactique ! ¡Boiata intergaláctica real! Ora, io sono nato quì, ma sono estremamente critico con l' italia e l' italianità. Ma affermare che i marchi inglesi sono di un' altro pianeta rispetto quelli italiani, vuol dire non capire nulla di arte ed antiquariato. Per fortuna sono fuori dall' Europa dove abbiamo la nazione che distacca tutto il mondo per arte e cultura: la Francia.
Only thing that gets me is he thinks only he has to eat and pay hills when he knows how much he will get for the item which domwtime is trice or trie the price he bullied the owner to reduce.
Had nice businesses, loads money,very respected in businesses beautiful wife kid,then one quick shag lost things that should have protected respected ,lucky she still stayed in businesses with you .
And you are an expert?? My dad knows plenty about cars. Drew showed us some of his collection and and I can assure you his knowledge impressed my dad. He is VERY passionate about cars and you can visibly see it when he talks about them. He was buying and selling cars when he was very young, I think about 14 years old.
@@tazuncut3065 Just watch the episode where he puts a Union Jack on the back of a Mini Pickup and says” That looks really classy”. I rest my case. P.S. Only a real dick has a personalised number plate.
