Antiques Master Ep 1/12
Host Sandi Toksvig launches the search for Britain’s Antiques Master in this brand-new series which pits the country’s leading amateur antiques enthusiasts against each other. As contenders battle through a series of challenges in a bid to be crowned the first-ever Antiques Master, Antiques Roadshow expert Eric Knowles is on hand with the key facts and figures to test their knowledge.
In the first of 12 programmes from Towneley Hall in Lancashire, four contestants step up to compete in four challenging rounds as they fight it out to prove that they have the know-how to secure a place in the final.
Antiques Master has scoured the country’s leading museums, antique shops and private collections to provide unparalleled access to the best and most varied artefacts ever seen on British television.
Contestants will have to use all their experience, in-depth knowledge and intuition to spot the priceless from the worthless. They’ll need to brush up on their hallmarks and be up to speed on all the latest auction prices – or face being eliminated.
Each show climaxes in a head-to-head quick-fire question round between the final two antiques enthusiasts to decide who wins a chance to play in the final and become crowned Antiques Master.
