- Arthur George Negus OBE was born in Reading, Berkshire, England. He was a broadcaster and antiques expert. Negus's family has a long history in the antiques business, and Negus himself began running the family business when he was 17, following the death of his father. During World War II he was an air-raid warden. He later joined Bruton, Knowles & Co. , auctioneers of fine antiques based in Gloucester. Amongst his young team there was Simon Bruton (son of Cecil), Quincey Hobbs, and Simon Chorley. His broadcasting career began at the age of 62 when he appeared on the panel of the television series Going for a Song (1966–1976) where he appraised antiques. He quickly became a household name as a result of his slow and distinctive West Country mode of speech, which also made him popular with impersonators. He returned to television with Arthur Negus Enjoys (1982) and, especially, Antiques Roadshow (1979–1983). Following a misguided attempt to transfer his unique style of delivery to the reviewing of early video games in 'Arthur Negus: Gamesmaster', he retired from TV broadcasting. He was appointed to the Order of the British Empire in 1982. He died in 1985 at his home in Cheltenham.
