Default Re: BBC TV: The Repair Shop

I've not read the entire thread, but to me, TV and the like is going to change . A lot of presenters and restorers are of an age where they will be susceptible to the present virus ' mode de operandi' as will be the ages of many persons who can tell the story of what is being repaired. No more queues of people going to antiques roadshow events , unless some kind of testing or effective vaccine occurs then until I reckon 2022 there will not be much new shoots of the kind recently broadcast. Producers will have to think of new thinks, maybe the exploration by Drone of old objects and detailed scripted voice-overs (this kind of one person made filming has been done by some good you tube folk for some years now anyway).

Reverting back to the Christmas Special for 2019 I thought it was a joy as craftspeople used skills way in excess of mine to make secret santa gifts for another expert, I hope it gives inspiration.
