Following a successful first series, BBC One daytime hit The Travelling Auctioneers returns to screens on Monday 8 January – with an exciting new presenting line-up for 2024.
Auctioneering expert and original Travelling Auctioneer, Christina Trevanion, is back for series two and joined by a new team made up of JJ Chalmers, Robin Johnson and Izzie Balmer, who will help her take the little blue auction van back on the road.
Before winning a gold medal at the Invictus Games and lighting up the Strictly ballroom, JJ was a craft, design and technology teacher, and his broad range of DIY and restoration skills will be put to good use as part of the Travelling Auctioneers team. Star of Quest’s The Woodland Workshop, Robin is also something of a restoration maestro, having worked as a design and technology teacher before setting up his own successful business specialising in bespoke metal and wood furniture.
And Izzie is one of the UK’s most popular auctioneering experts, having won a legion of fans through her appearances on Antiques Road Trip and Bargain Hunt. She also leads a specialist jewellery and silver department in a busy West County auction house.
The new, 20-episode series sees Christina, JJ, Robin and Izzie split off into pairs and take their travelling auction house and workshop out on the road across the UK. Along the way, they unearth hidden gems and turn unwanted items into winning lots.
Sifting through one family home at a time, the team must first identify the items with the biggest selling appeal. Christina and Izzie then call on their auctioneer contacts and expertise, while JJ and Robin use their incredible craft and restoration skills to bring new life to neglected treasures – ready for a thrilling on-site auction at the end of each episode.
The Travelling Auctioneers airs weekdays at 4.30pm on BBC One and all episodes are available on iPlayer
