The TV That Made Me

Series 2

Episode 13: Paul Martin

Duration: 44 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Wales

Antiques man and Flog It! host Paul Martin joins Brian Conley on the sofa to look back at the vintage TV that helped make him the star he is today. Brian hears how a classic Hovis advert prompted a family jaunt around the country.

They look at some timeless children's programmes and attempt to mimic the strange noises made by some of the characters therein.

And while the royal wedding of 1981 might be seared into Paul's memory, it is Steptoe and Son, the sitcom about a couple of unlikely characters and their rag-and-bone business, that inspired him to pursue a career in antiques. Show less
