The very definition of the British "stiff upper lip"; that polite, young woman being told her dining table has a valuation of £30,000. "...gosh." Over here in the States the owner would have started whooping and hollering, or weeping, or something else as equally undignified. My ancestry is basically all English, and I am constantly overwhelmed by the feeling that the UK was where I was meant to be. Oh well, I suppose. And that's my own stiff upper lip.
Good thing the £30k table is a family heirloom. Imagine it wasn’t, planned to sell it so she held onto it. What’d it be now? £3k? Jk maybe 5yrs ago tho
I found the woman who said " I dont want to know the value " very annoying , she was in fact just showing off to be on the tv , otherwise as she knew all about the items why was she there ? .
Thank you again for a great episode.! Appreciated 👍
I love the understatement of the young lady who merely said "Gosh" after being told her family table was worth about £30,000. Good for her!!
The bloke with telescope was so enchanting as was the quiet fellow with the Faberge beaker. This show is so relaxing to watch
Glory be to goodness! Love it.
Amazing how one quick purchase of an antique, at auction, provides you with a lifetime of intrigue and wonderment (telescope).
The girl with the table being appraised, in the sailor dress, looked SO NICE!
she did. Very 80s, though
@@janicesilbermann Actually... turn of the century (1900!). We re-did it in the '80s.
Yes! Didn't she!?
Something about her rubbed me the wrong way. It's like she grew up on one of Rolf Gardiner's revivalist folk dancing camps.
The British are so different than the Americans on Antiques Roadshow. "Your table is worth 30,000 pounds." "gosh"
because learning about " the table" is usually more important than selling a family Inheritance. .
We say it how it is!!
@@divaden47 No, the people here are just profoundly undignified.
I get kind of annoyed when people say ''i don't want to know what it's worth'', especially when they already know all about the item they bring.
Lol!! We moved from Britain to Canada in the 1970s and my mom still says, pounds and bob ❤

I am extremely fond of every one of the experts. I have a strong feeling that Hilary Kaye must have degrees in mathematics and physics?

I wonder what its worth now? I imagine so much less! Even 20+ years later..
The trial of Rebecca is not Biblical. It's from Ivanhoe.
I mix up my literary references from time to time too.
@@Great-Documentaries yes me too. I was just very confused for a few minutes 😀
