The BBC has announced the return of three of its popular antique programmes.
New series of The Travelling Auctioneers, Antiques Road Trip, and Celebrity Antiques Road Trip have been commissioned by the broadcaster.
Antiques Road Trip has been recommissioned for a twenty-ninth series which will air on BBC One, while the thirteenth series of its celebrity version will air on BBC Two.
Celebrity Antiques Roadshow has had the likes of Sir Terry Wogan, Deborah Meaden, Craig Revel Horwood, Gemma Collins, and Melvin Odoom.
The programmes see auctioneering experts join forces with masters of restoration to uncover neglected treasures in family homes which, with a little bit of TLC, can be hopefully turned into winning lots at auction.

‘All three of them promise to deliver more riveting journeys from across the UK as experts hunt for, restore, and auction off unique finds.”
Craig Hunter, Creative Director of Factual at STV Studios, which make all three series, said: ‘I’m delighted with the ongoing success of these returning STV Studios formats.
‘This order is a testament to the BBC’s commitment to the Nations and I couldn’t be prouder of the hard-working teams that continue to deliver a fresh twist on these much-loved brands.’
Other antique-inspired BBC shows include Antique Roadshow, The Repair Shop, and Bargain Hunt.
Antiques Roadshow is the longest-running British television series about the appraisal of antiques, beginning its broadcast on February 18, 1979.
The programme began life as a 1977 BBC documentary about a London auction house doing a tour of the West Country in England.
