Of all the various television series that followed the American Pickers approach this for me is the most enjoyable.
There are several reasons I think this show works so well, first would be the concentration on architectural salvage. This sets the show apart and also allow for some really interesting finds, they also focus on furniture which can also be equally impressive.
Another reason is the greater breadth history that is available in Britain which allows for much older artifacts and often of more significance. When looking at architectural salvage and furniture this history can make for truly impressive finds. This history also allows for some incredible locations including castles and industrial sites that are hundreds of years old.
Still another is the restoration and re-purposing aspect which allows the viewer to see the final product - and perhaps better understand what Drew saw when he made the purchase.
The final reason is a strong host an also the addition of a narrator which adds to the presentation.
