Here’s my feature on the world’s largest collection of Smurfs. Stephen Parkes is in the latest edition of the Guinness Book of Records with his massive number of little blue fellows.
I’m back with a new series of Collectors for BBC East Midlands Today.
Last time I interviewed people with collections of valve radios, Roy Rogers memorabilia and badges.
This time round I’ve met a man who collects saucy postcards, a cheque collector and I’ve sat amongst the world’s largest collection of Smurfs.
The feature below is with Jenny Swindells from the British Button Society, who collects, you’ve guessed it, buttons!
It’s amazing how much you can learn about social history by looking at buttons. Jenny was a great guest. We had to cut so much good stuff out to fit it into 2 minutes 15 seconds of TV.
