Briefly: we wont know when the Antiques Roadshow transmits for another month. The producers have to look at all the filming they’ve done and then decide what order to transmit it in.

Re the Antiques Roadshow. We will know the transmission date in about a month – ie at the end of July, and I will send out an email to everyone who is on our E-Bulletin list, and I’ll tell the local press too. Meanwhile, I have heard from the producers that the day was such a success that they may well make it into two programmes – now wouldn’t that be good? They get around 6 or 7 million viewers. If six million people watch the programme, and then see it again the following week, they might be tempted to visit the Gallery if they have never been before – so easy to get to from Victoria, a mere 12 minutes on the train to West Dulwich.
We always clock the visitor figures so if there’s a huge rise after the programme it will be confirmed that TV is very influential.
The people that worked on the Roadshow were all charming and said they’d had an absolutely lovely day… they probably always say that! But it was a lovely day, wasn’t it? Sunshine, crowds of happy people….
