Customers and connoisseurs explore the world of antiques with Max Robertson
Resident connoisseur, Arthur Negus
Guest connoisseur, Tim Clarke
Customers, Lord Arran and Fabia Drake

Nobody hates a TV show like the knockers hate "Going for a Song." The knockers are the fly boys of the antique trade. Armed with a canny skill for smelling out valuables and a smooth line in chat, they persuade the mugs of this world to part with their family heirlooms for a fiver. But in the last four years, "Going for a Song" has transformed us into a nation of experts able to value that old oak sideboard or tarnished silver candlesticks at the drop of the name Arthur Negus, who is, of course, the resident expert.
