Celebrity
Antiques Road Trip returns for STV
STV has
produced a second series of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip for BBC Two which sees
some of Britain’s best loved celebrities show off their antiques knowledge.
Guests this series include former This Morning host Richard Madeley,
ex-EastEnders‘ actress Pam St Clement, GMTV’s Fiona Phillips and Penny Smith,
sitcom stars Richard Wilson, Don Warrington and Annette Crosbie and Hart to
Hart star Stefanie Powers to name only a few.
“The
new series of CART sees some more of the nations best loved celebrities hit the
road and promises to be full of fun, rivalry and friendly banter. I hope
viewers will love it, whether they’re already fans of the show, or new to the
programme. It has proven to be must-see TV in the BBC2 schedule and we’re
thrilled to be delivering a second and longer instalment for peak time
television.” says Wendy Rattray, Creative Director for STV Productions.
The second
twenty-episode series has been split into two runs. The first will transmit at
7pm from Monday 3rd of September, and follows the antique loving celebrities as
they set off on a road trip across the UK, competing against each other to make
the biggest profit buying and selling antiques. The second instalment of the
series will transmit from Monday 12th November, and will see ten more pairs of
celebrities take to the road.
Each
celebrity will be teamed with one of the show’s regular experts, whose
knowledge and experience will guide each pair through the antiques trail,
giving them the best possible advantage in the competition. Travelling in
classic vintage cars, the teams will be given a starting budget of £400 before
starting their engines for the cross-country challenge.
Liam Keelan, Controller Daytime at BBC,
adds “It will be great to have this stand-out hit back in the schedule with all
the warmth and wit it brings.”
Each
programme will see a different pair of celebrities put their wit and bargaining
skills to the test as they set out to find hidden gems along the road and
auction them off, hopefully at a profit, at the end of their trip. All money
made throughout the series will be donated to the beeb’s charity, Children in
Need.
