E31 - The Red Devil & The Say Yes Rule - with David Harper

Today Harry and Simon are joined by the absolutely terrific David Harper. You’ll know David from The BBC’s Antiques Road Trip and other TV appearances, but there’s a lot, and we mean a lot you might not have known about the man. David is here to chat about his work in TV, branching out into YouTube, being an artist and a writer and generally saying yes to everything. Find out about his love of classic cars, why he loves getting to know people with a story to tell and the time he auctioned off Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson.

Now we know there are lots of TV shows about buying and selling antiques and collectables but we thought followers of this podcast would like to hear about what goes on behind the scenes of an actual working auction house as we go about our daily business, the characters we meet, the things we find, and the things we wished we had never found. Famed for our slightly different auctioneering style, constant chatting on the rostrum, awful jokes. Stick with us as we bunk off to record anecdotes, interview others in the industry and basically gabble on. If you enjoy the podcast, please leave us a rating.
