Antiques Roadshow airs weekly at 8 pm on a Sunday. The show is regarded a BBC One staple and sees members of the public bring their prized possessions in for an expert to look over and decide how much they might be worth.
The BBC show started airing over years 40 ago in 1979. With it being impossible to attend events such as antiques shows and car boot sales given the current lockdown climate, Antiques Roadshow is the best there is for antiquarians and hobby collectors right now!
