Forced to flee
Guests on Antiques Roadshow in Cardiff were forced to flee the set due to adverse weather conditions, leaving them feeling seriously let down by the BBC.
Disappointment and excitement
A group of siblings and their spouses appeared on the BBC show, only to be left wet, hungry, and tired after participating in the episode. Despite their disappointment, they were initially excited to be part of the popular show.
A tipsy decision
The idea to go on the show was born from a few glasses of red wine and a series of "jokey text" messages. The group, consisting of a brother, sister, and their partners, decided to apply and were eventually selected to feature on the Antiques Roadshow.
Sunday evening tradition
The group had a Sunday evening tradition of watching the show together, even though they lived a few hundred miles apart. They would exchange pictures of cozy fires, wine, and cheese boards while watching the show in the background, and play the valuation game.
Weather worries
Knowing the unpredictable British weather, the group was skeptical about the outdoor filming. However, they prepared themselves and were ready to face the elements for their appearance on the show.
An interactive experience
Arriving at the Cardiff Roadshow, the guests found tables dotted around the venue where the experts sat. If an expert spotted something interesting in the queue, they would be pulled aside for further evaluation. The guests were free to roam and interact with the experts.
Fascinated and amazed
The group enjoyed watching the experts in action, being fascinated by their knowledge and ability to identify valuable items without any research. They were particularly impressed by their ability to reel off facts and figures off the tops of their heads.
Rain stops play
As they stood watching jewelry expert Joanna Hardy valuing some rings, the rain started to pour. Filming had to be halted due to the heavy rain, leaving the guests without shelter or food.
Early exit
Due to the lack of amenities and the worsening weather, the group decided to leave the set early. They missed the opportunity to meet Fiona Bruce, who briefly visited in the afternoon to film her parts.
A lasting fandom
Despite their less-than-ideal experience on the show, the group remains avid fans of Antiques Roadshow. The Cardiff episode can be watched on BBC iPlayer.
