Advantages: Wider range of experts

Disadvantages: Most what we have seen before

Flog It is a new type or was the new format of antiques show when it was first introduced by the BBC. The way that the show works, is much like The Antiques Road Show people bring their antiques to be evaluated by the experts but are then given the option of flogging their antique in an auction. What the show does is go through the process of what would happen if a person went straight to an auction house.

The show is presented by Paul Martin, a person that would perhaps seem young that the average antique show presenter, but presents the show in an old fashion type of way, as he is eccentric in the way that David Dickenson is. Which is good as he is not just a clone in the way that he presents; although at time you almost want him to have more oomph in the way that he presents

In terms of the valuations of the antiques it would seem that the experts with just about get the correct valuation or under value the antiques and then surprisingly the items values rocket.

One of the annoying parts of the show is when the presenter completely leaves the area of antiques and goes and visits a location nearby. While it may be good that he visits places of importance, it is not really what I tune into the programme to watch, as it meant to be an antiques not a location show and the worst part is this section takes up three quarters of the show.

Overall I would not recommend the show as there are better antique shows on TV that actually deals with antiques. The presenter may be laid back in his approach, but for me it is too far laid back and I prefer a person that more engages the audience.

Summary: Not one of the better shows
