Treasures and Tales from the Roadshow

Hilary Kay and Paul Atterbury bring Treasures and Tales from the Roadshow to the Civic Theatre on Sunday 7 March, a night that's all about the Antiques Roadshow team. If you've spent any time watching the show, you'll know the two of them: Kay and Atterbury are regulars on the program, the kind of faces you recognise from the roadshow's various stops across the country. This is their take on the show's 50th anniversary, and they're the ones leading it.

The whole thing is a tribute to those fifty years. The Antiques Roadshow has built its name on the stories that come out of the objects people bring along — the family histories, the odd discoveries, and the things that turn out to be worth far more than anyone expected. That's exactly what Kay and Atterbury are drawing on for this one. They're taking the format of the show and bringing it to the stage, so the evening is built around the same kind of treasures and tales that make the program what it is.

It's a bit of a milestone for the show, and having two of its own on stage to mark it makes sense. If you've always enjoyed the way the program works — the mix of expert knowledge and the personal stories that come with the items — this is that same thing in a live setting. It's a look back at half a century of the show, told by two people who've been part of it.

It's on Sunday 7 March at the Civic Theatre in Newcastle. If you're a fan of the show, it's a good chance to see it from the inside, with Kay and Atterbury taking the lead for the anniversary.
