Country file was all about the D Day landings.
Antiques Roadshow is all about the D Day landings.
Why? It has nothing to do with either the countryside or antiques. I think it should have its own separate programme - and perhaps on the actual anniversary the 6th June?.
Countryfile covered the vast areas of the countryside that were commandeered by the military for training and billeting during the build up to D Day, fairly relevant I would say.
Likewise, Atiques Roadshow featured memorabilia from the time, personal artefacts and awards. All too precious to put a price on so no valuations given. Again perfectly relevant to the genre of the show.
Why not on the 6th? Both programmes have long been scheduled for early evening on Sunday. I have no doubt that there will be more specific tribute type programmes on the actual anniversary.
FYI, our local Town Crier will be in action at 8am on the 6th of June with a proclamation for the townsfolk.
