Get a backstage pass to PBS's version of
Who Wants to be a Millionaire? with the 90-minute
Antiques Roadshow: Special Edition. Meet the show's executive producer and many of the appraisers who make the show so compelling, and watch as scores of ordinary Americans learn the value of their attic's contents. Footage from the very first show is amusing--it wasn't quite the crowd-drawing juggernaut it is today. You'll also see plenty of big finds, including a table that sold at Sotheby's for almost half a million dollars, and learn what makes things valuable. (It turns out that, just like in politics, authenticity isn't everything.) Whether you're a fan or a newcomer, the
Antiques Roadshow: Special Edition will fascinate and delight even as it inspires you to dip into that old trunk you've never opened.
