ANTIQUES ROADSHOW

The BBC's Antiques Roadshow of the programme filmed at Kentwell in September was broadcast last week.  Judging from the comments we have received from many who watched it, Kentwell provided a very fitting background to the programme. It was certainly visible much of the time.

Many have also commented what an interesting programme it was.  We thought so too. What was curious was how we had missed all the items which were shown in the programme.  We saw many items being filmed and were generally reasonably au fait with all the filmed finds - or so we thought.  Yet, one way or another we missed each item eventually shown - so it was as much news to us as to all other viewers.  On the other hand all the extremely interesting items which we had seen being filmed some of which we were sure would make the programme were not to be seen during it.

 For the start of our Season at least, we can promote Kentwell as "As seen on the Roadshow" and see what response it generates.
