We forgot this started on Monday and we haven’t actually watched it yet. Still, Alan Titchmarsh (who according to this press release, came up with the idea himself) invites teams round various stately homes to play various antique based games, winners of which get to go to the Masterpiece Gallery to try and pick out high value objects in a line-up, and whoever can pick the most high-value objects can win a grand.
This comes hot on the heels of the BBC’s For What It’s Worth with Fern Britton which we thought was quite clever and watchable, the heady mixture of general knowledge quiz and objects valuation working as a sort of Antiques Bullseye. Will the heavier emphasis on antiques work in Alan’s favour? Let us know what you think in the comments.
Seems to be rating okay-ish so far, if not brilliantly. This is where things stood yesterday. Don’t know what it got on Monday so not sure what kind of drop off (or rise) there was (numbers from DS):
