The Antiques Rogue Show

Liz Smith By Andy Hollingworth
Sometimes the telly makes something really really good, even the BBC, which let's face it these days is prone to make shite like Torchwood http://www.bbc.co.uk/torchwood/ No this time they really did themselves proud with The Antiques Rogue Show. If you missed it you've got 7 days to catch it here http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00gn6y7/The_Antiques_Rogue_Show/ and if you want to see how the "little man" can joop the art establishment or perhaps more accurately the Museum establishment, and how even Bolton can throw up the odd genius then it's a must see. A fair amount of thought and pondering on Art in there as well, and as for the acting, brilliant! Do we have a better actress than Liz Smith?
All based on this http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/jan/28/ukcrime.art oh so British tale that makes me proud!
