ONE of the BBC's most popular programmes, the Antiques Roadshow, will be filmed on Thursday June 25 at Morwellham Quay.

Behind the scenes, the team is compiling a folder containing letters and emails from people in the area with furniture and large items too big to carry to the show.

Items in the past have included paintings, large pots, bedsteads and even a military cannon.

The weekend before the show two of the team will arrive in the area with the folder and visit as many of the people who have contacted the show as possible.

Some of these people will have their items transported to the Roadshow by the team and a few lucky ones may end up being filmed on the day.

But even if you do not have large items, now is the time for everyone to raid their attics, unearth the car boot bargains and dust down the family heirlooms to bring them along to Morwellham Quay.

The Roadshow's doors open at 9.30 am and close at 4.30pm. Entry is free.

As well as presenter Fiona Bruce, familiar faces at the show will include David Battie, Eric Knowles, and Henry Sandon.

Along with the other members of the team they will be on hand to offer free valuations and advice to visitors.

Series editor Simon Shaw said: 'As a television producer it's a scary prospect when we turn up for a day's filming and no knowledge of what might turn up.

'I often look at the queue first thing and say a quiet prayer that there really are interesting pieces in all those bags.

'Amazingly we still keep finding fascinating pieces — and some of the best aren't necessarily the most valuable.'
