As Channel 9 has seen fit to remove both these programs from the air (clearly we all need to watch
The Brady Bunch again, and don't we all love
Family Feud) I thought it would be a good time to post my thoughts on (a) Why
Antiques Roadshow makes great television, and (b) Why
Bargain Hunt manages to undermine almost all of those features. I refer to those series of the program that have been broadcast on free-to-air TV in the last year or so. I am insufficiently keen to chase up which ones they were.
I was also prompted to write this now by the article on the value of
Stuff posted recently by
redbraids.
