Bemko is executive producer of PBS’s “Antiques Roadshow,” which features specialists from the country’s leading auction houses and independent dealers traveling throughout the United States, offering free appraisals of items brought to events by the public. This month, WETA 26 will broadcast three episodes, starting Monday at 8 p.m., that were taped in D.C. last summer. How many objects are actually recorded at the events?

The neat thing about “Roadshow” is, from those 10,000 objects that come through the door, we’re going to tape approximately 90. Every object tells a story — if you wanted to spend a few hours, I could tell you about all of them. It’s like picking a favorite child.
