Watch Antiques Roadshow on BBC Select

In its 35th year, Antiques Roadshow back on the trail for the nation’s hidden treasures, visiting some of Britain’s most magnificent and historic locations.

Against the stunning backdrop of these iconic locations, members of the public are invited to bring cherished objects and mystery items for the antiques experts to evaluate. Family heirlooms are unearthed from the attic and charity shop bargains and curiosities are dusted down, but will they hold more than sentimental value? As the team uncover the history of each item, the suspenseful valuation captivates owners and viewers alike.

And series 37 also includes a very special appearance from Her Majesty the Queen, who visits members of the team at Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland.
