Dated

When does a show become antique ?  Last night's "second helping" of the Antiques Roadshow visit to Hertford College, Oxford, with Fiona Bruce returning to her alma mater, was at least the fifth outing for this fine piece of 21st Century chintz.

You  might have missed on 11 October 2009, BBC1, or 22 October 2009 BBC1, or 6 June 2010, BBC HD, or 3 September 2010 BBC HD.

Still, it gave another chance to reflect on changing times.  Hertford, which in the past brought us John Donne, Jonathan Swift and Evelyn Waugh, has more recently produced Fiona, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Natasha Kaplinsky, and Home-Secretary-turned-media-porn expert Jacqui Smith.
