Not awkward at all, seeing a man who appears to not have much money just found out he was holding onto a small ring with a lot of money. Humble man who finally got a break in life.
It's a ring ffs. What else can be done with it other than 'this man' getting some stability with it. He obviously deserved it. Should it of been in the hands of a rich person?
This isn't "awkward", it's beautiful! It's extremely rare to see such a genuine and touching happy-moment in someone's life on the television screen. What a lovely man - it's lovely to see someone so modest having such a great piece of luck in their life. Seeing this has cheered me up immensely!
It's very awkward, these two are lovers and turned up to the show with their respective spouses which neither knew of. We're actually witnessing the end of their relationship on-screen without a single word being said.
Absolutely! Not awkward, wonderful. Just a modest man overcome by such a surprising opportunity unsure how to react. Hopefully the team helped him off camera.
It is true that the awkward moment has not been shown in this clip, that was earlier. The presenter asked about the background of the ring and PF (the guy with the ring) stated it was in his Grandmothers jewelry box. The presenter then appearing awkward himself said 'these are often found by metal detectorists' . They then showed a zoomed in view of the underside of the ring and the presenter went on to say 'and look there's still some mud left underneath it'. It appeared that the ring had not been cleaned well enough. Now an interesting point about PF is he is in fact a metal detectorist and until he sold his land a farmer, not the poor man that many think in this comments section. Who would have thought that ? 😂🤣😂 When a metal detectorist finds an artefact that is gold or silver and over 300 years old in the UK they have to be declared as treasure. In effect they belong to the state unless disclaimed by the state (which does happen). The finder is then given a 'fair market valuation' as compensation. That is the law in the UK. However it is generally well known that this 'fair market valuation' is well below what will be achieved at auction. This motivates some individuals to attempt to circumvent the process. I wonder what PF's motivation were ? I can only speculate as to the character of an individual prepared to offer the provenance that he did in front of 4m viewers on a Sunday evening. This is an excellent example of how manipulation can take place on the internet. A short section of material can give a completely false impression as to the background to anything.
Yeah, a poor person catching a break is so awkward, whoever edited this video had shit parents or something man. Good for this chap. All us peasants hope for something like this to happen to us, nice to see it happened for him. He looked truly excited for the future in that moment, a feeling I'm sure many of us could use right now.
Absolutely, that’s exactly what l thought. The man wasn’t used to cameras, crowds of people looking at him. I thought he did well to get through that unaided
Exactly. On the American version, the appraisers are always ready to jump in and save awkward moments because they know its bad for tv. This bloke just stood there staring at the poor guy😒
Exactly that was my thinking and I hope he got it auctioned off before one of his family and or friends tried to commandeer it and he looked like he wanted to cry I’m so glad he got a break
I know how this man feels almost. A close friend of mine lost his entire life's work, house and savings to a conman and was broke for 7 years. He ate peanut butter sandwiches for a year to survive. His health took a bashing. He got a job, got bullied, had nervous breakdowns and lived on $15 a day. His big treat was a coffee at Starbucks and a movie on weekends when he could afford it. One day he bought a lottery ticket on a whim and 3 days later I was with him when he decided to check his prize. He'd won half a million dollars. He broke down and cried and cried and cried and was speechless. 7 years of hell were over. The conman went to prison, came out and continues to con people and my friend was lucky but went through 7 years of punishment while the conman enjoyed 3 square meals and upon release puts others in prison on the outside. But I'll never forgot my friend's awkward loss for words. Still remains the humble and nice guy he always was.
@@mfitzy100recently the elderly gentleman was interviewed for talk jacket magazine and claims that he discovered a second ring inside a Christmas cracker worth 35,000 GBP
I was expecting some pompous guy to claim he's holding a Picasso or a Renoir only to find out it's a bargain shop painting. Or a guy holding an item that was stolen just a few days prior. This was quite nice and wholesome. The only thing awkward was the editing.
The ring slipped of the finger hundreds of years ago. As Geoffrey Munn, is a sweet Gentleman , and he always puts People at ease. I believe that the owner wanted to keep the ring for his wife. If I remember correctly.
@@starzontheroofNo source but he has 3 options(roughly): Pay off some of your mortgage, get a new car (20 is fine for new and especially 5+ years ago) or go on a lavish holiday.

@@ltipst2962 He might not have a mortgage. Spunking 20k on a new car leaves you with nothing for insurance or fuel to drive it. Does he look like he would go on a lavish holiday? No. A trinket for the wife? Dumb. None of what you said was really an educated guess.
Editing but also lavishing in sheer enjoyment. Let's rather believe he left there very very happy and only has fond memories and got even more than 20k! :)
Disagree. Remaining silent was the best thing to do; the ring owner was processing all kinds of emotions, no words were necessary. Why steal his moment with some smartarse quip or condescension? It was HIS moment, not the appraiser's.
As much as I admire John Benjamin (the antiques' dealer), I have to agree that it was a particular cringeworthy view. JB should have interjected at some point.
Yeah, so did I, especially when I saw the word "awkward". There HAVE been moments though on AR where the object has quickly been appraised as less than worthless.
The guy was speechless. You know something is extremely exciting or extremely horrifying if you’re left speechless like this! He looks so happy in this moment and that’s so nice to see.
My Dad told me about a more "awkward situation" on ARS. This woman had brought in a piece of Colonial American furniture and the appraiser asked if this was the condition of the piece when they purchased it. The woman stated that her husband had refinished it a few years prior. The appraiser informed the woman, the piece, theoretically, could've been owned by one of the Founding Fathers, and was worth $17,000 USD, but had her husband not refinished it, it would have been worth $200,000 - $300,000 USD. Needless to say, she was quite disappointed with the husband.
Not remotely awkward. I was starting to tear up seeing this genuine reaction. What a lovely surprise. Being close to totally broke my entire life,i could more than relate to his response.

The only thing awkward here is the misuse of the English language. I note also online that many do not know the actual meaning of some words: “Ridiculous”, “Weird,” “Ironic.” Just three that come to mind as used wrongly time and again. This scene is not remotely awkward for anyone involved.
Far from awkward, that man was probably just so overwhelmed and could not believe his luck that he had something of such value and could change his life, pay off any debts he may have had and improve his life, good on him.
Beautiful right. You've got a good heart on you, these comments have given me faith in humanity in abundance. Some of us Brits just have it right. I love it, nice comment dude have the best year yet
The most awkward Roadshow moment I ever saw was from the U.S. version -- the Keno brothers were talking to this very old, retired judge about this enormous antique cabinet he had brought in. They were gushing over it and telling him who built it, where it was made, the woods, the craftsmanship, its rarity, etc. and building up to the value and the old man just could have cared less. They finally tell him it's worth like $150,000 and he's like, "OK, I want to go now," and he wandered off the stage with an irritated look on his face. I watched it on PBS when it premiered, probably 20 years ago now. I have searched the Internet for it several times but never found the clip.
Really powerful release of emotions that for me as a viewer, saw a man who wasnt afraid to be shocked and dumb founded by the good news of being the owner of a object with a great value.
The expert could have made that exchange much less awkward. I imagine he'd not have allowed the pregnant silence if the gentleman had appeared more well-heeled.

@@TonyEnglandUK Wrong. Wrong. Describing a moment as awkward and making it the title of a heartwarming video is hardly sparkling wit. It’s just stupid.

Thought the valuer guy could have offered a bit more support, you can see the poor chap is a bit overwhelmed, still lovely to see a genuine good news story.
Nah, the most awkward Roadshow moment was when a clearly wealthy woman brought her collection of imported elephant ivory statuettes on to be valued, and she looked immensely pleased with them, until she was told that they were VERY illegal.

So where is the information ? Is it a Black Diamond ? Estimated Carat weight ? Metal Quality, i.e. Carat if it's gold ? Estimated Age ? Was there an estimated value of this ring ? One with a Tiny stone sold at aution for £20,000 so, comparative size would help ?
I love jewellery expert Geoffrey Munn. Such love and knowledge of jewellery. When he does his appraisals he loves to tease the owner. Imagine him choosing a piece of jewellery for you; it would have exactly the right meaning. That gent with the ring was genuinely overcome. If that ring was mine, I'd have a copy made and sell the original.
Everything is so so cute! Glad you can enjoy buying those things, especially at such great discounts. You definitely have a good eye! Really needing that healing confirmation! ❤❤🙏🏽
The presenter just stayed painfully silent instead of continuing to explain, extol etc.. The owner was gobsmacked, so the awkwardness was certainly not his fault..
The most awkward thing about this video is the title. I actually think it's down to poor English. The poster, clearly not a native speaker, doesn't understand what the word 'awkward' means.
Yeah, I thought it was really sweet. He was all red and overwhelmed that he won the lotto. At first, when he said there was an almost identical ring, and thought it was stolen. THAT would have been awkward
Poor guys probably been thru some real hard times and that little nugget been laying in a drawer gathering dust the whole time...looks like a mixture relief and disbilief 😂❤❤❤
I saw this exact episode recently. The man really was stunned, but the awkward moment wasn't as long as seen here with parts of it being looped a few extra times.
As others have said, it's not awkward beyond the man not being able to express everything he's feeling. The guy telling him the information should have asked him how he was feeling and commented that he must be pretty overwhelmed, thus giving the other man the freedom to let out some of his emotions. I suppose it might have been awkward for the interviewer, but he's used to seeing emotional people and should have been able to deal with an emotional guy who was overwhelmed.
Don't know why this come up up in my news feed but the comments section heartening.
Not awkward at all, seeing a man who appears to not have much money just found out he was holding onto a small ring with a lot of money. Humble man who finally got a break in life.

Nothing awkward here. Just a guy who just found out he’s sat on a small fortune. Fair play to him 👏
Everything is so so cute! Glad you can enjoy buying those things, especially at such great discounts. You definitely have a good eye! Really needing that healing confirmation! ❤❤🙏🏽
I crumed when he coughed and laughed. i crumed so hard
The presenter just stayed painfully silent instead of continuing to explain, extol etc.. The owner was gobsmacked, so the awkwardness was certainly not his fault..
BS clickbait. You edited the “awkwardness” in. 👎
I DID???!!!!
Andrew shut ur fking mouth
@@milo_9117 Yeah fuck you
@@milo_9117 fuck off you absolute loser. I would delete this video if i were you, its a god damn embarrassment
I thought his reaction was teriffic! 👍😁
I imagine the poster of this video is very awkward. That’s a nice word for him.
awkwardness of the English culture regarding expressing emotions other than elitist disdain
In his part of the UK I’ll bet that that sum of money would be life changing hence his reaction
It kind of looks like the 2 gentleman may have “had a moment” as they locked eyes with each other several times then didn’t say anything.
And then they went and spent it all on hookers...
I would have liked to learn more about the ring.
I was expecting him to add,but it’s one is fake”
The most awkward thing about this video is the title. I actually think it's down to poor English. The poster, clearly not a native speaker, doesn't understand what the word 'awkward' means.
Not even slightly awkward. The appraiser standing there, letting the man savour the moment was very considerate. Like the ring, this is Gold.
Recently princess Elizabeth had a ring valued by Morriston Gold Studios
what a come-on from you to get us to watch this video. you should be ashamed.
Yeah, I thought it was really sweet. He was all red and overwhelmed that he won the lotto. At first, when he said there was an almost identical ring, and thought it was stolen. THAT would have been awkward
This isn't "awkward" at all, it's beautiful - Such a modest man!
Rumour has it that they were quickly engaged and ran away together to Gretna Green .. Bless 😢
Poor guys probably been thru some real hard times and that little nugget been laying in a drawer gathering dust the whole time...looks like a mixture relief and disbilief 😂❤❤❤
Having been low-middle of the road despite being in a so called “good” job, seeing this guy get a break was utterly joyous!
they are in love, and the gentleman behind is jealous
I think it was awkward because the appraiser kept looking at him instead of showing any human emotion
You just know the night that episode aired, he walked into his local to a standing ovation. Good on him, seems genuinely at a loss for words.
The snooty snobs sneering at a decent guy
Some people laugh or smile when their nervous. And it doesn’t help the host isn’t saying anything. The host could have been more helpful.
It would have been awkward if he said twenty grand, is that all?
The last time I saw something this interesting was when Basil Fawlty dropped a butter portion and picked it up.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Would have like to know why it was so valuable.
I saw this exact episode recently. The man really was stunned, but the awkward moment wasn't as long as seen here with parts of it being looped a few extra times.
If you have to edit the video to make it seem “awkward”, then you’re the awkward one.
Damn it really is like that 😔😔😔
The most poorly judged Antiques Roadshow post in history
The one ŵith the diamond, when sold, fetched £20,000 .....so how much was this chaps ring actually worth???
£20
It fetched a similar price to a burger ring
He sold it for £2,000 and was able to buy a mansion in his neck of the woods.
Because of the title I half expected him to follow up with "...it was stolen on the way to the buyer"
As others have said, it's not awkward beyond the man not being able to express everything he's feeling. The guy telling him the information should have asked him how he was feeling and commented that he must be pretty overwhelmed, thus giving the other man the freedom to let out some of his emotions. I suppose it might have been awkward for the interviewer, but he's used to seeing emotional people and should have been able to deal with an emotional guy who was overwhelmed.
