Ever fancied being part of a brand new TV show, well, here's how you can.........

We have been contacted by the BBC who are working on a brand new, and very high end, aspirational antiques show for primetime BBC Two called 'ANTIQUES MASTER.'

The aim of the show is to find the most passionate and knowledgeable amateur antiques expert in the UK. Contestants will battle it out over a series of challenges to prove that they have the all round knowledge to win the title of 'antiques master' and take home the inaugural trophy.

The show itself will be a mixture of 'Q&A' with practical challenges where they will actually have antiques in the studio. The show is being made by the same department that makes 'MASTERMIND' for BBC Two and it will be pitched at a similar level.

Firstly they looking for antique enthusiasts to take part as contestants. Filming starts at the beginning of May and the deadline for applications is April 16th. (UK residents only ).

Those interested in applying for an application form can contact them on the following:
Tel: 0161 244 3556
(Standard geographic charges apply and calls may be included in your telecom provider’s call package. Calls from mobiles may be higher)
OR
Email: antiquesmaster@bbc.co.uk

They also require assistance in creating the content of the show. The rounds will involve contestants dealing with real antiques. Some rounds may involve them separating the genuine articles from the fakes or perhaps placing the items in chronological order. At this stage it would be great to find out if any club members would be open to the idea of lending their items or helping to source them?

So, if any members are interested then please contact the BBC directly.

It would also be great to hear from any members who do help out, as it would make a fantastic feature in the club magazine!
