Celebrity Antiques Road Trip

Actor, presenter and all-round entertainer Les Dennis takes on his chum, fellow thespian and soap star Nitin Ganatra, in a contest of antique hunting skills. At their disposal, at least two classic cars from the 60s, £400 each and a couple of eager experts, David Harper and Irita Marriott.

Two top TV journalists, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond and newsreader Simon McCoy, take up the antiques challenge and go rummaging all around Devon. The two, who became firm friends whilst reporting on some quite tumultuous times, now find themselves chasing scoops once again.

With £400 each and experts Margie Cooper and Raj Bisram along to help, Jennie and Simon will be piloting through the B-roads of Devon in an Austin Healey and an E-Type Jaguar.

Taking to the dance floor on this antiques hunt are two fleet-footed stars of the Strictly ballroom, husband and wife Aljaž Škorjanec and Janette Manrara.

They're joined by David Harper and Izzie Balmer for an antiques whirl through Oxfordshire in a 60s Mercedes and a 70s Jaguar.

Along the way, Aljaž and Izzie waltz their way into the history of one of Britain's motoring icons, the MG, while Janette and David find out about Stratford-upon-Avon's lesser known literary great, Marie Corelli.

Taking a break from shopping, Gethin and Irita take a train ride into the past to learn about Wales's railway history.
