What is the difference between the British version and the American version of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW?
ANTIQUES ROADSHOW began in England over 24 years ago on the BBC and what you see on our programs is taken from the BBC’s 23rd season of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW. ANTIQUES ROADSHOW UK is produced for PBS by the BBC in association with WGBH Boston. The broadcast of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW UK in the US is made up of current shows from the BBC that have been slightly modified for the American audience; we added currency conversions, added on-air identification of the appraisers and edited the programs to fit the US standard one-hour program format. The American version of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW is produced in the US for PBS by WGBH Boston. In 1996, WGBH Boston obtained rights for a version of the show to be produced and broadcast in North America. The American series is now in its sixth broadcast season. For information about the American series please visit ANTIQUES ROADSHOW Online at www.pbs.org/antiques.
