		<title>Episode Forty-One</title>

		<description><![CDATA[COLLECTORS goes all QWERTYUIOP this week with a collection of over 600 vintage typewriters, including ones that belonged to Miles Franklin and actor Richard Harris. Columnist Robert Messenger only started collecting seven years ago, but the collection takes up so much room it is on the verge of forcing him out of his own home. He doesn’t care, because, as a writer himself, he finds the machines inspiring. “No scrolling back or deleting or other computer trickery, when you’re on a typewriter, you hammer away. It just drives you on, it forces creativity. Very satisfying.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[COLLECTORS goes to the movies this week, and looks into the gritty genre of Film Noir, with its crooks and dames and gum-shoe private eyes. Phil Edwards has built an eye-popping collection of movie posters, mostly from the 40s and 50s, when the graphics were a riot of colour and full of scantily-clad dames in distress and edgy desperados toting big guns. It’s a visual feast, and Phil also offers great advice on spotting and avoiding fake posters, of which there are many on the net.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Andy visits the annual Radio, TV and Phonogram Festival in Canberra for the best in bakelite, valves and cathode rays. This is where enthusiasts of sound and vision from the 1920s to the 1970s gather, and the crowd grows bigger every year. The very best in vintage radios are here, represented on several stalls, and Canberra’s Greg Williams shows off a wonderful collection of TV sets from the early days of timber cabinets to the futuristic plastic and chrome of the 60s and 70s. Beautiful and ingenious phonograms are also here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Collectors visits the Hand Tool Preservation Association of Australia’s 25th anniversary Convention in Melbourne. The HTPAA is based in Victoria but has members nationwide. This is a club of men who are dedicated to old tools, their discovery, rescue and restoration. Almost by definition these tools are all top quality, because early last century there was no notion of obsolescence, everything was built to last. And they looked good.]]></description>

		<title>Show &#38; Tell - 1840s Magic Set</title>
		<link>http://www.abc.net.au/tv/collectors/segments/s2420098.htm</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The show and tell item was sent in by Lisa of Grafton. It is a German-made 1840s magic set, called “the Conjurer”. It’s in the original box (which is falling apart a bit) and contains multiple tricks, many of which are disappearing illusions involving beautifully carved timber goblets and boxes and balls. There are also card tricks and other favourites.]]></description>

		<title>Episode Thirty-Nine</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Top Gear comes to COLLECTORS tonight, so to speak, with a mouth-watering $20 million collection of cars. David Bowden has amassed 80 exceptional examples of the elegantly named Touring Car. In reality, they’re not so elegant, because they storm around race tracks, often going sideways at very high speed. Touring Cars are racing versions of normal road cars, and the best known Australian ones are the Ford Falcon GTHO and the Holden Torana A9X. Most of David’s fleet are from the 60s and 70s, and he and his sons have rescued and restored them all, after lives of hard competition left most of them very tired and worn out.]]></description>
