Oppgaven er delt i to hoveddeler: en analyse av tv-programmet Antiques Roadshow (BBC) fulgt av en museologisk drøfting av programmets virkemidler. Analysematerialet består av to feltstudier ved innspilling av Antiques Roadshow i Skottland og av programmet Antikrundan i Sverige. Hovedvekten legges på besøket til Skottland, og oppgaven går derfor dypt inn i skotsk kontekst. Drøftingen identifiserer tre hovedtemaer som går igjen i programmets virkemidler: steder, gjenstander og formidling. Gjennom analyse av disse virkemidlene gjøres det et forsøk på å identifisere programmets stil, og slik blir formidling via nye medier blir satt i sammenheng med tradisjonell museumsformidling. Oppgaven vil bidra til en ny forståelse av gjenstandsbasert historieformidling på museum i ett nytt, digitalt medielandskap. V VI Figur 1 "There will be no miracles here" av den skotske kunstneren Nathan Coley. Skulpturen var plassert utenfor The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art under innspillingen av Antiques Roadshow på samme sted, sommeren 2013.

We are also busy planning our Summer Action Auction, our LIVE! on CET Reimagined event (details coming in the next issue of this magazine!) and more. We are getting 2021 off to a great start and we hope you are too. To support our community’s young learners, we started airing Let’s Learn, a new hour-long daytime program featuring instruction by educators and virtual field trips for kids ages 3 to 8, especially those learning at home. SOITA also continued to offer a robust schedule of educator-and-student-focused workshops, including new age-specific courses about Google Classroom. We are also creating new videos as part of American Graduate: Getting to Work. In the production space, we are continuing to produce new episodes of The Art Show and SHOWCASE with Barbara Kellar and, as I write this, we are working to build a new remote-interview set-up in our studios, which we can continue to use well after the pandemic has ended.

  • Selective Abortion Sundari Anitha and Ai
    Making politics visible: Discourses on gender and race in the problematisation of sex- selective abortion Sundari Anitha and Aisha Gill Accepted for publication in Feminist Review Abstract This paper examines the problematisation of sex-selective abortion (SSA) in UK parliamentary debates on Fiona Bruce’s Abortion (Sex-Selection) Bill 2014-15 and on the subsequent proposed amendment to the Serious Crime Bill 2014. On the basis of close textual analysis, we argue that a discursive framing of SSA as a form of cultural oppression of minority women in need of protection underpinned Bruce’s Bill; in contrast, by highlighting issues more commonly articulated in defence of women’s abortion rights, the second set of debates displaced this framing in favour of a broader understanding, drawing on post-colonial feminist critiques, of how socio-economic factors constrain all women in this regard. We argue that the problematisation of SSA explains the original cross-party support for, and subsequent defeat of, the policies proposed to restrict SSA. Our analysis also highlights the central role of ideology in the policy process, thus making politics visible in policy-making. Keywords South Asian women, sex-selective abortion, post-colonial feminism; policy analysis; Serious Crime Bill; Fiona Bruce Introduction In 2012, the Daily Telegraph reported that two doctors working in a private medical practice were prepared to authorise an undercover journalist’s request for an abortion based on the sex of the foetus (Watt et al., 2012). Although transcripts of these conversations revealed that sex had been mentioned in relation to a genetic disorder – which can be sex-specific – in one case, the article omitted this significant detail.

The viewer was disappointed by the news that recent series on Masterpiece would not be returning for a second season, with Beecham House being another example of this scenario. PBS and Masterpiece sign on to series in development early on. This mostly out of necessity because of the highly competi- tive market to acquire quality dramas and mysteries. In most cases, these series premiere across the pond ahead of the planned broadcast here. This month on Masterpiece we welcome a remake. All Creatures Great and Small begins January 10.

  • The Antiques Roadshow to Be Sold at Christie’S London on 8 July, 2014
    PRESS RELEASE | LONDON FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Friday, 30 May 2014 VAN DYCK HEAD STUDY RECENTLY REDISCOVERED ON THE ANTIQUES ROADSHOW TO BE SOLD AT CHRISTIE’S LONDON ON 8 JULY, 2014 London – Christie’s is pleased to announce that a striking head study by Sir Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641), which was recently re-discovered on the BBC television progamme The Antiques Roadshow, will be offered at Christie’s Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale, on Tuesday 8 July (estimate: £300,000-500,000, illustrated above). This work is a preparatory sketch for van Dyck’s full-length group portrait of The Magistrates of Brussels, which was painted in Brussels in 1634-35, when the artist was at the height of his powers. The painting was bought 12 years ago by Father Jamie MacLeod from an antiques shop in Cheshire for just £400. The proceeds of the sale will go towards the acquisition of new church bells for Whaley Hall Ecumenical Retreat House in Derbyshire to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War. This work will be exhibited for the first time ahead of the sale when it goes on free public view at Christie’s New York on 31 May to 3 June; it will also be on view in London ahead of the sale, on 5 to 8 July. The sketch was largely obscured by later over-paint and, as a result, had been overlooked by van Dyck scholars. Recent cleaning and restoration of the picture has revealed a swiftly executed head study entirely consistent with three other known sketches for the Magistrates of Brussels picture, a work that hung in the Brussels Town Hall until it was destroyed during the French bombardment of the city in 1695.

  • Antiques Roadshow Press Release
    Press Release BBC Antiques Roadshow comes to Compton Verney The BBC Antiques Roadshow series will be filmed at Compton Verney Art Gallery and Park in Warwickshire for the first time this summer. The show, which is in its 42nd year, is expected to attract thousands of visitors hopeful of revealing a lost treasure. Compton Verney, one of the ‘Treasure Houses of England’ is home to an award winning, nationally acclaimed gallery hosting world class historical and contemporary exhibitions. Amy Banks, Director of Creative and Engagement at Compton Verney says: “We are delighted that the BBC has chosen to bring the Antiques Roadshow to Compton Verney. The stunning Grade I listed house and its surrounding ‘Capability’ Brown parkland is a charitable trust set up with the aim of sharing art and the natural beauty of the house and landscape with everyone. This is a fantastic opportunity to welcome thousands of new faces to the venue and we couldn’t be happier to know that people will bring their own art and treasures with them . Fingers crossed, we might even find an undiscovered masterpiece.” Filming will take place on Tuesday 2 July hosted by Fiona Bruce and a team of experts ready to examine paintings, jewellery, ceramics, glass and hundreds of other historical artifacts. The show will be aired this autumn and regularly attracts six million viewers. Fiona, who has presented the show for the past 12 years says: “Even after all these years, people still have the most amazing things tucked away in their attics and garages and I can’t wait to see what they pull out of their bags and trolleys in 2019." Robert Murphy, the series producer of Antiques Roadshow, said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing the Roadshow to Compton Verney.

  • 1 Archived BBC Public Responses to Complaints
    Archived BBC public responses to complaints 2019 This Week, BBC One, 10 January 2019 Summary of complaint We received complaints from people who felt Owen Jones was treated in a disrespectful manner while appearing as a guest on the programme. Our response Following the verbal abuse which he and others had sustained from protesters outside Parliament, Owen Jones, journalist, left wing commentator and activist, used his “Take of the Week” section to give his personal take on the current state of political discourse, the rise of the far right and, as he deemed, the reasons for this. This is a prominent section of the programme in which the author gives their views unchallenged. During his video and the studio discussion which followed, Mr Jones made allegations about the Conservative Party and right wing media which some would consider contentious. As our audience would expect, Andrew scrutinised what Mr Jones said. Michael Portillo, who disagreed with Mr Jones, also gave his opinion. Mr Jones was given ample time to express his views and respond to points made to him. When Mr Jones made allegations about The Spectator magazine and Andrew’s role with the publication. Andrew legitimately pointed out that this was nothing to do with the BBC and it wasn’t right for Mr Jones to use the programme to make personal accusations against him. Today, BBC Radio 4, 26 January 2019 Summary of complaint We received a range of complaints following the interview of Helen McEntee. Some listeners felt the tone and content were not appropriate, suggesting a personal bias from the interviewer.
