Open to the public as usual with ticketed events, the team are inviting guests to tell them about their treasured pieces ahead of the time by submitting pictures and information about their items through the Antiques Roadshow website.

The team are on the hunt for a broad mix of antiques, family heirlooms and vintage treasures. Every show will feature specialists in the fields of jewellery, silver, ceramics, glass, pictures, rare books, clocks and watches, and militaria, as well as a team of experts with knowledge of all things collectable – from retro toys to movie and music memorabilia, from ancient antiquities to costume jewellery, from mid-century furniture to vintage fashion.

Presenter Fiona Bruce, who will be filming her seventeenth series of Antiques Roadshow, says: “A new series of the Antiques Roadshow begins again and I, for one, can’t wait. Travelling the length and breadth of the UK to see what the great British public have pulled out of their attics and off their shelves. I know we’ll see items of great quality and value - but I’m always drawn in by a moving personal story too. They are what often stick longest in my memory. And I’m determined to improve my record on Basic, Better, Best. Surely I’ve got to get more of them right this year!”

BBC Studios, Series Editor Robert Murphy says: “We want the Roadshow to be for everyone, and we want to see those special items that mean something to you – last year, we saw a dazzling range of items: jewellery bought for a few pounds at a carboot sale, an Olympic torch, a Rolex that had been through a lawnmower, punk t-shirts, a two thousand year old carved stone head, a silver jug used in a royal ritual. And most memorably, a Victoria Cross medal awarded to a Sikh solider in World War II that was valued at a quarter of a million pounds. We can’t wait to see what treasures you’ve got to surprise and delight us at this year’s shows!”

Watch the current series of Antiques Roadshow on BBC One on Sundays from 8pm.
