Salvage Hunters

I saw this series only for objects and places. For the stuffs stories and for stories of the owners. Obvious, it is a series for marketing about a business , so apparences are not more than the crust. But beautiful things and their travel across time are just good things and enough, against doses of selfishness, arrogance, greed or supperficiality of great Drew Pritchard.

Of all the various television series that followed the American Pickers approach this for me is the most enjoyable.

There are several reasons I think this show works so well, first would be the concentration on architectural salvage. This sets the show apart and also allow for some really interesting finds, they also focus on furniture which can also be equally impressive.

Another reason is the greater breadth history that is available in Britain which allows for much older artifacts and often of more significance. When looking at architectural salvage and furniture this history can make for truly impressive finds. This history also allows for some incredible locations including castles and industrial sites that are hundreds of years old.

Still another is the restoration and re-purposing aspect which allows the viewer to see the final product - and perhaps better understand what Drew saw when he made the purchase.

The final reason is a strong host an also the addition of a narrator which adds to the presentation.

Why ? It is ruined by aggravating noises in the background which we tolerate for a while but then just have to switch off. Those so called noises are UNNECESSARY the programme is so good and needs no extras.

Why are those noises there ? They are awful and we cannot concentrate on the dialogue of programme.

Could anyone please help me out with one particular episode in which Drew picked up a collection of Otto Keramik ceramic bulls. I'm just trying to find out what season and episode this featured in. If anyone can remember or has a link to the clip or the full episode then that would be great. I could watch all the seasons and episode but that would be over kill for just on 2 min clip.

Thanks.

Our Fat Lava pottery pieces are renowned for their vivid colors, ranging from fiery reds and oranges to deep blues and earthy browns. The glazes, are applied generously and often dripped or layered, creating a three-dimensional effect that resembled molten lava. This organic and sculptural quality makes each piece a unique work of art.

Unlike American pickers where they actually pay fair prices drue wouldn't loose a night's sleep taking the shirt off some poor buggers back.
