I am interested in seeing the antiques , the choices and the outcomes at auction. But this programme is close to being ruined for me with the irritating cringe fest of sexist behaviour and remarks with ridiculous innuendos from the voice over. Charles, for instance, seems unable to stop draping his body all over the female Raskin Sharp, calling her 'a girl' etc, when she is actually a professional woman who is more than his equal. I can see it is gamesmanship to throw her off her concentration.Charles even tormented a shop owners dog in the episode I have just watchedI He is so attention seeking and childish. he is not the only one. Maybe some younger men closer to the ages of the women would be more used to behaving normally around woman at work. Anyone can see the women , who are also auctioneers with expertise, have to 'manage'it. It's dated and tedious. There is one woman who plays up to the flirting but that does not ease the embarrassment.
