Antiques Road Trip has long been a staple for those who love a blend of history, treasure hunting, and friendly competition.
The show follows antiques experts as they travel across the UK in classic cars, searching for hidden gems to sell at auction.

One of the show hosts recently had a huge announcement to make as she landed a new series of her own after impressing TV bosses.
Antiquarian and auctioneer Irita Marriott was invited to open the doors of her brand new auction house to viewers for a new programme called The Derbyshire Auction House.
The reality series follows Irita as she unearths cherished items that have sometimes been stored by families for decades.
She then helps guests fetch the best possible price for their goods at auction.
While filming, she discovered one basic household item that ended up being worth £3,300.
BBC regulars can also look forward to tuning in for a new series of The Repair Shop with Jay Blades.
He will be back to front all of the action on the new edition despite starting work on a slew of other shows recently.
