The UK version of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW returns as presenter Fiona Bruce and the team are back on the trail of the nation’s hidden treasures, visiting more of Britain’s most sumptuous and unusual locations.

Season 36 also introduces a new play-along feature – The Rogues Gallery, where viewers get the chance to see whether they can spot a fake among real treasures.

A visit to Scone Palace, near Perth in Scotland, sees Fiona Bruce and the team meeting thousands of visitors bringing precious heirlooms.

Pieces featured include an “ugly” family brooch with a surprising value; one of the most significant books seen on the show, which dates back to the 15th century; t-shirts bought at a Clash concert over 30 years ago; and a tea caddy from the 1780s, which the expert describes as “perfection.”
