People in Richmond have been asked to dig out old treasures as TV series the Antiques Roadshow will film its 36th series at the Royal Ballet School in Richmond Park in September.

Entry to the show, which will be held on Thursday, September 5, from 9.30am to 4.30pm, is free.

Presenter Fiona Bruce said: “This will be my sixth year on the Antiques Roadshow and I still feel so lucky to be presenting the programme.

“Every week is different - a new location and thousands of new visitors.

“The only constant is the pleasure of the unexpected - we never know what will turn up, from the most fabulous Faberge to the most humble object with a riveting story.”

The last time the Antiques Roadshow came to south-west London was when Bruce and the team visited the All England Tennis Club, home of the Wimbledon Championships.
