Stuart O.: I don't know if this is what you saw, only on one of the previous Antiques Roadshow's one of the experts showed Fiona Bruce some designs of jewellery that he was hoping one day to see on the Antiques Roadshow. A woman who was watching the programme realised that she had one of the designs and on a programme the was broadcast a few weeks ago, presented it to the expert. This brooch was sold at auction for £31,000 and was mentioned on the Midland News today.

Mike Dimmick: I see on the SES-Astra web site it shows that Astra 1N has three footprints. UK Spot Beam, Pan-European Beam 1 and Pan-European Beam 2. The UK Spot Beam looks tighter than the footprint of Astra 2D. If for example BBC move their channels on to Astra 1N, with its tighter footprint on the UK, will this mean that people living in Spain who can now receive the BBC channels find them missing.
