I fail to understand this new meaning of “fun” too.
So little of the programme is devoted to looking at actual items. I am tired of the opening bits eg What do our competitors want in their expert?, and the formulaic structure and phrases of the show.
As for asking “ Do you like it? “ what does that matter? You are not buying it to keep, is what I shout at the screen. I still keep watching though.

Also, the experts describe so many things as “such fun”. They must lead very dull lives! I am grumpy!

It is getting irritating by childish behaviour and silliness. The programme is backwards actually. I knew 2 antique dealers who bought at auction and then sold at market.

I do agree about the over excitement . However what really annoys me is the percentage that the contestants get taken off. Most of them would not make any money if they were charged as most people would be.

I know this is a slight detour, but why is Catherine Southon , on Antiques Road Trip , yet again. The third week running. I dislike her .

I think they’ve changed the format and like many other shows it’s become really hyped up. I still like it though. I have to say, there are some other tv shows that to me, are ridiculous now and almost unwatchable . Maybe I’m also just getting old and grumpy!

I agree, I think they are told to appear excited! Too much screaming.
Also have you noticed they seem to buy the same thing over and over again, for instance, pearl fruit knives, silver topped perfume bottles and cocktail shakers in the shape of a penguin.

Since retiring if I’m home at lunchtime I used to like watching this, BUT! Am I becoming a Grumpy Old Women but have the contestants become so loud and squealers ! If I was at an auction and they were filming it would be so annoying. Your comments please
