History

The programme began as a BBC documentary that aired in 1977, about a London

''. The pilot was so successful that it was transmitted and the format has remained almost unchanged ever since. Negus appeared on ''Antiques Roadshow'' until 1983. In the original BBC programme, various towns or famous places are advertised as venues. The show has since visited a number of other countries (including Canada in 2001 and Australia in 2005) and has been imitated by other TV production companies around the world. In the United Kingdom, annual children's Christmas specials aired from 1991 until 2006, under the title ''Antiques Roadshow: The Next Generation'' (except for the 1991 edition, which was titled ''Antiques Roadshow Going Live'') and used a specially reworked version of the regular theme music. However, there was no children's special in 2007; instead an edition was devoted to "antiques of the future" dating from the 1950s to the present day. Since then individually themed specials have been aired, though not every year. A spin-off programme, ''20th Century Roadshow'', focusing on modern collectibles, aired between April and June 2005. It was hosted by

s. They are seldom shown in the broadcast episodes, to spare embarrassment for the individuals involved, although counterfeit objects are sometimes included, to give experts an opportunity to explain the difference between real and fake items. Value is not the only criterion for inclusion; items with an interesting story attached, or of a provenance relevant to the show's location, will often be featured regardless of value. An episode commemorating the end of the First World War and featuring personal mementoes, included no valuations. All items are appraised, although most appraisals take place off-camera, with only the most promising items (around 50 on an average day) being filmed, of which about 20 appear in the final programme. Some significant items have been acquired by museums after being sold once their owners were appraised of their true value. An example is the watercolour painting ''The Artist's Halt in the Desert'' by

and interest (especially related to the venue) and an approximate valuation is given. The production team selects the items whose appraisal is to be televised. Often, the professional evaluators give a rather in-depth historical, craft, or artistic context to the item, adding a very strong cultural element to the show. This increases the show's appeal to people interested in the study of the past or some particular crafts, or certain arts, regardless of the monetary value of the objects. At the core, however, the focus of the production is on the interplay between the owner and the evaluator.
