The Extraordinary Collector

The antiques, art, great homes, artists, collectors, etc., are all very interesting and make this show worth watching. BUT there's a big but, and his name, as he so often reminds us, is Gordon Watson. At one point he actually says "Me, me, me, me! Gordon Watson!" Yes, Gordon, we do know your name. I lost track of how many times he tells us what high opinions others have of him and his knowledge of antiques. He says things like how he wants to get a bit of himself into this or that fine home; instead of just wanting to sell a piece to the collector, he seems to want his name attached to it in perpetuity. You're just the middleman, Mr. Watson. You didn't create the thing.

Best to just watch for the aesthetics and try to ignore him, if you can.
