It's an institution x 5

Was in town for meetings, and stumbled ( as you do ) on the Antiques Roadshow, in the courtyard of the British Museum.

Had to stop a while and see if I could pin down the quintessential Roadshow sketch. Something like an old lady gamefully clutching an tatty heirloom wrapped in newspaper, or two people struggling to get an ENORMOUS sideboard out of a Taxi.

No such luck. So had to content myself with camera crew, and production people lounging in the sunshine.


This guy was using a poly reflector to bounce the sunlight on something very small that people were crowding around to look at. Couldn't see what it was...



But the camera crew were getting good shots...



While the sparks waited in their ubiquitous shorts...



The Jimmyjib operator stood patiently for a cue...



And Production sat around talking, and looking cool.

( Biased, me ? )
