The ever-popular Antiques Roadshow will be filming for its 35th series in Cornwall.

The BBC One series fronted by Fiona Bruce will take over the Event Square of the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, at Falmouth next month.

"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," said Miss Bruce, who is in her fifth year with the show. "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, on September 13, with free advice to visitors, who are invited to raid their attics and bring along family heirlooms, household treasures and car boot bargains for inspection.

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 email them to: antiques.roadshow@bbc.co.uk. It may be possible to arrange to look at the item in advance and organise transportation.

Series editor Simon Shaw says: "The team are all looking forward to visiting Falmouth. It's always exciting to see what will come to light on the day. We regularly see between 1,500 and 2,000 visitors on the day. Despite the high turnout everyone will get to see an expert."
