As you may have guessed, I have a cunning idea for a new TV show.<\/p>\n

You’ve probably heard of, if not seen, BBC1’s long-running Antiques Roadshow, presented by Bruce Parker<\/span> Angela Rippon<\/span> Arthur Negus<\/span> Hugh Scully<\/span> Michael Aspel<\/span> Fiona Bruce?<\/p>\n

In a nutshell, members of the public trog along to a screening with a worthless pile of old tat<\/span> valued and ancient family heirloom. The BBC gets a subject expert to put a valuation on the object d’art<\/em> which disappoints the shit out of<\/span> amazes and astounds the previously unsuspecting chancer<\/span> owner.<\/p>\n

My idea for the new show is a variation on this, but utilising a little of the other show about old things – Time Team.<\/p>\n

AR+30 (Antiques Roadshow, 30 Years On), to use the shooting name, revisits the people who flogged off the family jewels<\/span> took advantage of of a fluid market, and sold their goods as soon as they were valued.<\/p>\n

In AR+30, the presenter will rock up to the door and ask the person how they feel knowing that the thing they sold for \u00a3250 thirty years ago is now worth \u00c2\u00a38,500.<\/p>\n

[cue: nice tight focus in super slowmo on the rapidly dropping expression of the member of the public]<\/p>\n

What do you think?<\/p>\n
