As a dedicated fan of Flog It for over two decades, I can’t help but feel like a grieving widow with the news of its untimely departure from our screens. I remember vividly the first time I watched it back in 2002 – the thrill of seeing ordinary people’s treasures being valued by experts, the suspense as items went under the hammer, and the sheer joy when an item far surpassed expectations. Flog It was a daily dose of nostalgia, a reminder of simpler times, and a testament to the power of a good bargain hunt.
Anita Manning from Flog It was speechless as a charity shop item shattered BBC records, fetching an astonishing price during the auction.
The necklace, a mere £10 purchase by guest Bernadette, astonished both the appraiser and show host Paul Martin.
At the RAF Museum in London’s Hendon area, a visitor carried an amber necklace for appraisal.
On Monday’s broadcast, a segment from 2015 showed Anita expressing her appreciation for Bernadette by saying, “These beads you’ve given me are truly beautiful.
Amber, derived from tree resin that’s approximately 52 million years in age, is highly prized. In terms of value, a single gram of amber surpasses the worth of an equal amount of gold.
Anita then asked: ‘Did you pay a lot of money for it?’
‘Well, at that time, I paid a lot of money for it. I paid £10,’ Bernadette replied.
The expert explained: ‘I would like to put it into auction at a £500 to £700 reserve.’
To everyone’s astonishment, the necklace sold for more than anticipated, fetching £5,000 at the auction.
The daytime TV program, hosted by antique dealer Paul, has been a consistent favorite since its debut in 2002. It offers members of the public an opportunity to have their cherished items appraised by a panel of professionals.
However, after airing over 1,000 episodes, it was decided to take it off the air in order to accommodate six fresh commitments aimed at modernizing the daytime programming.
The last episode aired in 2020, however re-runs of the show are still shown on the BBC.
At first, spectators found the choice disappointing, as one individual labeled it a significant blunder, while another expressed deep sadness.
Dan McGolpin, the BBC manager responsible for daytime programming, informed the Daily Mirror newspaper that an Antiques Roadshow-like program would be canceled.
He commended the remarkable success of the 45-minute program and acknowledged the exceptional work done by its dedicated crew. (Alternatively, he highly appreciated the outstanding achievement of the 45-minute show and honored the hardworking production team.)
If our aim is to usher in a new era of programming, it may be necessary to phase out some established series. Periodically, it becomes crucial to progress and introduce fresh content, replacing the old with the new.
On BBC One, we’re designing a fresh lineup of daytime shows that resonate with a contemporary audience across the United Kingdom. These programs aim to be engaging, easy to understand, and reflective of the times.
