It has been announced that Paul and the crew will be heading to Edinburgh and are urging residents to root around for their own antiques and could even earn themselves a small fortune.
Martin will then go head to head with a rival expert as they compete to find the best price at auction.
The iconic auctioneer spoke to The Express, and said how he hopes the show will remind people to look at their own belongings, in case they're sitting on a fortune.
He said: "I don't want to give too much away but you know, there's lots of finds and there's lots of treasures, and there's some lovely things."
"And we can all we can take something away from it. You know, and we remember the owners. But we've all got stuff like that."
Reflecting on his vast experience on antique shows, Paul's enthusiasm was clear.
"It's a real privilege to talk about something that I love," he stated.
"I get paid to talk about something I love, I'm a very lucky person.
"And it's taken me all over the world, my career and being involved with heritage. So it's it opens many doors for me - even in my free time.
"You know, when I'm out with my kids, I get to visit a salesroom and have a chat with an auctioneer and go into many antiques places."
He continued: "And I think the antique trade is one of the most wonderful industries in the world because it's sustainable.
"It's green, our carbon footprint is incredibly low because everything was made at a time when there was no electricity. It's been recycled and upcycled you know, 20 or 30 times. We're custodians of these things."
The Great Auction Showdown will be in Edinburgh on the March 7 and 8. Get in touch for more information at TheGreatAuctionShowdown@stv.tv.
