Flog It
''Flog It!'' is a BBC television series that has been broadcast since 27 May 2002, presented by Paul Martin (although the first five episodes were presented by Mark Harnden). Description The show follows a similar formula to ''Antiques Roadshow'', with members of the public bringing their antiques to be viewed and valued by a team of experts. However, unlike ''Antiques Roadshow'', the owners are then given the option to sell their items at an auction. The programme, originally broadcast as part of BBC One's afternoon schedule, subsequently appeared on BBC Two. It is shown as part of the early evening schedule for short runs, and sometimes also on Saturday afternoons. It was noted in early 2017 that ''Flog It!'' had recently filmed its 1000th episode. On 2 October 2018, it was announced by the BBC that they would be axing the show after 17 years as part of a shake-up to "modernise" the daytime schedule. Objects During each show, selected lots are auctioned off. Items by Moorc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
