BBC Daytime has commissioned a trio of antiques series from STV Studios.
Antiques Road Trip, which has been a stalwart of the BBC since 2010 will be getting its 29th series on BBC One, with 20 x 45 minute shows.
Its sister production Celebrity Antiques Road Trip will also be returning, with its 13th series of 16 x 45 minute programmes.
Production has already begun on a third 20 episode series of The Travelling Auctioneers, which first started in 2022. This sees auctioneering experts join forces with masters of restoration to uncover neglected treasures in family homes which, with a little bit of TLC, can be turned into winning lots at auction.
“I’m delighted with the ongoing success of these returning STV Studios formats. This order is a testament to the BBC’s commitment to the Nations and I couldn’t be prouder of the hard-working teams that continue to deliver a fresh twist on these much-loved brands,” said Craig Hunter, Creative Director of Factual, STV Studios.
All 3 are produced by STV Studios and commissioned by Rob Unsworth, Head of BBC Daytime and Early Peak Commissioning for BBC One, BBC Two and iPlayer. The Commissioning Editor is Muslim Alim.
For Antiques Road Trip and Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, Rosy Marshall-McCrae is Executive Producer and Ami Anderson is Series Producer. For The Travelling Auctioneers, John Redshaw is Executive Producer and Julie Grant is Series Producer.
“Get ready for a treasure trove of entertainment! With their long track record, we’re thrilled to be working with STV Studios on these returning hit series,” added Muslim Ali, Commissioning Editor for BBC Daytime & Early Peak.
“All three of them promise to deliver more riveting journeys from across the UK as experts hunt for, restore, and auction off unique finds.”
