I vagally can remember that programme sometime during the late 60s Arthur Negus was the presenter.

Yes, but it was revived in the late 1990s as well - Michael Parkinson presented and was succeeded by Michael Aspel (the only programme apart from Give us a Clue that both Michaels have presented); and then Anne Robinson had a go, just before she started The Weakest Link.

Actually, I know that Going for a Song was an antiques game show - I meant that it sounded as if it was something to do with musIic, hence the word "song".

Re: Antiques and collectibles

There was also an antiques game show called Going, Going, Gone! on around 20 years ago which was on BBC 2 in the Weakest Link slot before it started - it was presented by Andy Craig of various ITV regional news programmes, and then by the disgraced Stuart Hall.

At least David Dickinson made Bargain Hunt a cult programme when he was on it.

Re: Antiques and collectibles

We used to have the Antiques Roadshow and that's it - mind you, there used to be a programme on BBC 2 called Collector's World, and from old TV schedules, that was shown in the evenings.

I thought that Going for a Song was something to do with Eurovision when I first saw the title...
