BBC ONE's ever popular Sunday evening
programme ANTIQUES ROADSHOW will be filming for its 32nd series at Hopetoun House, Queensferry, on Wednesday,
25th March, 2009. The doors open at 9.30 am and close at
4.30pm. This will be the first Scottish venue. The second Scottish venue will be
Abbotsford on 2nd July.
This
will be presenter Fiona Bruce's second year with the Roadshow and she says, "Presenting the Antiques Roadshow is,
for me, one of those rare and very lucky coincidences in television when
you get to work on a show that you already love to watch. Exploring the human
story behind every object is what makes Antiques Roadshow so fascinating. And
everyone loves the agony and ecstasy of the 'what's it worth? moment. The AR
isn't just about antiques - it's history, beauty and drama all wrapped up in
one.'
Some of Britain's
leading antiques and fine arts specialists will be on hand to offer free advice
and valuations to visitors, who are invited to raid their attics and bring
along their family heirlooms, household treasures and car boot bargains for
inspection by the experts.
People with large pieces of furniture or other big items can send
details and photographs of their
objects to: ANTIQUES ROADSHOW, BBC, Whiteladies Road, Bristol BS8 2LR or e-mail
them to: [email protected]. It may be possible to arrange to look at the
item in advance and organise transportation to the venue.
Series Editor Simon
Shaw says: "The team are all looking forward
to visiting Hopetoun House. It's always exciting to see what will come to light
on the day. We regularly see between
1500 and 2000 visitors on the day. Despite the high turnout everyone will get
to see an expert."
