The London-listed company said BBC Daytime had greenlit new series of popular antiques programmes Antiques Road Trip, Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, and The Travelling Auctioneers, encompassing a total of 56 episodes.

It said Antiques Road Trip, a fixture of afternoon programming since its inception in 2010, would return for its 29th series on BBC One with 20 episodes of 45 minutes each.
