All in a Day: 2: The Auction

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Four films which concentrate on a few hours of intense activity.

Who will buy the Lady Blunt?
This is the name of a Stradivarius violin made in 1721, sold to Lady Blunt in 1864 for £260, and auctioned at Sotheby's on 3 June 1971. Interested people inspected it, famous musicians played it, and the dealers bid for it. Who would eventually possess one of the finest violins ever to come up for sale remained a mystery.
