Tuesday 24 May
8:00pm - 9:00pm
Channel 4

1/8, series 1

Antiques Roadshow meets Dragons' Den meets Deal or No Deal with four experts competing to buy collectable items. The twist is that having examined, say, a mutilated Francis Bacon painting, they each retire to a room where the painting's owner negotiates a price with them in turn. Once he's refused an offer, he goes to the next room and hopes for a better deal there. The negotiations range from a bit dull to cringe-making, but the items are fantastic (no chipped teapots here) and judge Jeff Salmon - a flamboyant, outspoken character who on occasion even uses dice to make his decision - makes great TV. Could be a grower.

Just watched the first part of this and it is one of the most compelling and exciting things I have seen for a long time. Well worth watching even if you are not that interested in art and unusual stuff, but who isn't?

It's rather interesting.

Is it Real Deal on a different channel.

Interesting but like most tv there is too much repetitive "filler". Probably on 10 good minutes out of every hour.

Most antique dealers are arrogant fkers. (my aunty is one, obviously she's not a fker but she's arrogant) and these four don't disappoint.

The Ozzy female in those tight trousers though. lick

Still. I'm watching it and I quite like it.

Quite impressed with how fast they're going through the deals; no faffing about means more time to see some interesting items and some very bizarre sellers/opinions.

However, being young and male I'm mostly debating the hotness of the girl... jury is still out.

Nice voice though.

Have to agree and, must say, like the leather trousers too.;)

An interesting concept, think this could turn into a 'must not miss' programme.

As to the Norman Foster table, thought the one they had on show (in one of the dealers rooms)far better.

£240,000 for that Banksy seems like a very good deal to me.

Think they got greedy, but time will tell. They went in looking for 6 figures, got £240k and walked away?
