A few years ago the Antiques Road Trip came to the auction house we used to work and what a load of old bollocks that was. The vehicles were only driven a few yards by the celebs and the auctions rigged. But thats showbiz folks. The only redeeming feature was my 750 got on the telly. ;D

Car SOS and Wheeler dealers have a few things in common apart from doing up old cars obviously. You have the cheeky chappie and the mechanic. As others have said already, in the case of both shows the mechanic works for free, but another thing I've noticed on Wheeler dealers is when they buy a sporty car with ropey looking alloy wheels, they get the wheels refurbed for say £50 a corner. Thats fair enough, but they often omit to mention the brand new set of tyres they invariably put on too, when chummy Brewer is doing his outlay totting up at the end of the show.
I have to say I do like both shows, but like Sumpmagnet I can't stand Henry Cole. He has one of those whiney voices that irritates the hell out of me. I watched the Phil Read replica episode of his show, but had to turn it off half way through. If I was Sam Lovegrove, I'd hit him around the back of the head with a Vincent Black shadow cylinder head when no one was looking. ;)

I get really p155ed off with producers that think we've all got the attention span of an American goldfish.
"Coming up.. blah blah (shows the best bits)" before the show starts and before the advert break.
After the ad break, there's the recap, in case we forgot what we were watching 5 minutes earlier.
Rant rant rant.😠

I'm with you on Henry Cole, i cringe when ever i see him with his stupid childish antics, and yet i'm compelled to watch the next episode. Sam Lovegrove must be paid a good wedge to be on the same show as Cole.

The Triumph combo at the start/end of Antiques Roadshow is owned and ridden by a chap I know in the VMCC, Bill with his wife Jean in the sidecar. It was filmed at Tredegar House in Newport. He told me it was a real pain in the A, he kept getting asked to ride through the gates again for a re shoot.
