Antiques Roadshow 2024: when is the next episode?
The next episode of Antiques Roadshow is on BBC One on Sunday, June 2 at 8.00 pm. It runs for 60 minutes.
This will be a very special episode where Fiona Bruce commemorates the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, filmed in Normandy, France, and the D-Day Museum Portsmouth. The story of the landings are told through various items brought in by visitors and there are eyewitness accounts from those who played a part, including radio operator Marie Scott and veteran Ken Scott.
Are there any specials coming up?
Yes, as mentioned above, the BBC has a range of shows in June to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day and one of these is a special episode of Antiques Roadshow which airs on Sunday, June 2, 2024.
The BBC says: "Filmed in Normandy and at the D-Day Story Museum in Portsmouth, the episode features remarkable first-hand testimony from those who were there, including veteran Ken Cooke. Across five beaches, codenamed Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword, ‘Operation Overlord’ was the largest seaborne invasion in history — an event that would turn the tide of World War Two and lead ultimately to the defeat of Germany and victory for the Allies just under a year later, in May 1945. With our Roadshow experts at locations across the UK, we unfold the story of D-Day through various items brought in by our visitors, and rare artefacts held in various museums."
Who presents Antiques Roadshow?
Fiona Bruce is the current Antiques Roadshow presenter.
Is Antiques Roadshow currently filming?
Yes it is! There's more info here on where filming is taking place and how to attend. It is worth noting you need a ticket to attend, so make sure you get one!
Talking about filming her seventeenth series of Antiques Roadshow, Fiona Bruce 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!'
