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.

Objects featured include what could prove the most valuable picture ever seen on the show, a tea caddy first used in Regency days as a repository for a pet budgie's ashes, and what are believed to be the last signatures made by Edward VIII before his abdication.
