Sauveurs de trésors

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.

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.

Usually like this type of show as I have been involved in the same thing for some time,but,there is something rather off & sly about this guy. Maybe it's the way it swans around with that huge chip on it's shoulder knowing it's going to screw the last penny out of those that actually did all the work to begin with & end up making,in some cases,big money out of the deal,to me he's a scabby peasant.

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.

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.
