The BBC's Antiques Roadshow
Submitted by pp on Sun, 16/09/2007 - 4:39pm.
We had perfect weather and huge crowds (somewhere between 2,500 and 3,000 in all) and queues which stretched as far as the eye could see. Such a rich and interesting range of treasures were produced for identification and evaluation.
The day could not have gone better and the BBC were kind enough to comment that Kentwell proved an excellent venue and awarded us 10 out of 10 for our organization.
The programme will be broadcast in January or February, the BBC have many hours of filming (they filmed right up to their cut off point of 7.00pm). It is not possible to predic what tems will actually feature.
The BBC also said they had never had such excellent Stewards as Kentwell's Tudors who added glamour and interest to their queue control duties. It should all make for excellent viewing.
Kentwell
We visited the UK from Australia during September and October 2007, and attended your show at Kentwell. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and look forward to it being televised. Michael Aspel was very generous with his time and kindly autographed a program for me.
