In November 2010, a Chinese vase unearthed in a suburban semi in Pinner sold at auction for £43 million - a new record for a Chinese work of art. Why are Chinese vases so famous and so expensive? The answer lies in the European obsession with Chinese porcelain that began in the 16th century. 　　In this documentary Lars Tharp, the Antiques Roadshow expert and Chinese ceramics specialist, sets out to explore why Chinese porcelain was so valuable then - and still is now. He goes on a journey to parts of China closed to Western eyes until relatively recently. Lars travels to the mountainside from which virtually every single Chinese export vase, plate and cup began life in the 18th century - a mountain known as Mount Gaolin, from whose name we get the word kaolin, or china clay. He sees how the china clay was fused with another substance, mica, that would turn it into porcelain. 　　Carrying his own newly-acquired vase, Lars uncovers the secrets of China's porcelain capital, Jingdezhen. He sees how the trade between China and Europe not only changed our idea of what was beautiful - by introducing us to the idea of works of art we could eat off - but also began to affect the whole tradition of Chinese aesthetics too, as the ceramicists of Jingdezhen sought to meet the European demand for porcelain decorated with family coats of arms, battle scenes or even erotica. 　　The porcelain fever that gripped Britain drove conspicuous consumption and fuelled the Georgian craze for tea parties. Today the new emperors - China's rising millionaire class - are buying back the export wares once shipped to Europe. The vase sold in Pinner shows that the lure of Chinese porcelain is as compelling as ever.

For centuries the West has been enthralled by flamboyant blue and white ceramics from China, but were unaware that all the time the Chinese were making porcelains for themselves that were completely different - subtle monochromes for the Imperial court, beautiful objects for the scholar's table and delicate domestic wares. 　　Ceramics expert Lars Tharp, Antiques Roadshow resident and presenter of Treasures of Chinese Porcelain, has picked his six favourite pieces representing Chinese taste. He's goes on a journey through a thousand years of Chinese history, travelling from the ancient capital of Huangzhou in the south to Beijing's Forbidden City in the north, to uncover what these six pieces tell us about Chinese emperors, scholars, workers, merchants and artists. 　　To him, they are China in ceramic form. But can they help us to understand China today?

透过模仿其他知名综艺节目情节等方式，讲述台湾电视节目或广告的一些过程，也嘲讽台湾电视史历年来的种种现象。 　　1989年，本单元播映完毕。1997年，本单元的创意被王钧借用，加入他所制作的中视综艺节目《红白胜利》，成为《红白胜利》的招牌单元〈中国电视尺〉。 　　本单元绝大多数全由王伟忠旁白，但有一次因为他休假太久没有回来，存量不够，曾由澎恰恰代录旁白过。王伟忠也认为本单元很难做，一个短剧要换十几个景；他必须说侯文燕真的收集很多资料，剧本写得不错。 　　《连环泡》的〈中国电视史〉单元，不仅是制作人王伟忠的代表作，大部分被发掘的艺人也是在此单元出道的：除了前述所提的许效舜、郭子乾、邰智源、陈为民之外，还包括当时名气相对较不大的九孔，现在已淡出演艺圈的杨丽音、阿咪，甚至连洪都拉斯都是该单元的演员；可以说，该单元本身就在台湾电视史奠定了一定地位。 　　小S表示自己是从〈中国电视史〉才开始注意连环泡的，前面的东西完全不记得。她当时听到〈中国电视史〉的声音时，觉得很崇拜这个人，全家也会讨论说“这个人是台湾最有幽默感的人，讲话口齿又清楚”。
