It has been running since 1979, based on a 1977 [[documentary]] programme.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/classic/titles/antiques.shtml|title=BBC - Cult - Classic TV - BBC - Title Sequences - The Antiques Roadshow|publisher=BBC}}</ref> The series has spawned many international versions throughout Europe, North America and other countries with the same [[TV format]]. The programme is hosted by [[Fiona Bruce]] and == History == [[File:AntiquesRoadshowPaulAtterbury.JPG|thumb|right|upright=1.1|[[Paul Atterbury]] examines an antique [[cricket bat]]]] The programme began as a BBC documentary that aired in 1977, about a [[London]] [[auction house]] doing a tour of the [[West Country]] in [[England]]. The pilot roadshow was recorded in [[Hereford]] on 17 May 1977 and presented by contributor [[Bruce Parker]], a presenter of the news/current affairs programme ''[[Nationwide (TV programme)|Nationwide]]'', and antiques expert [[Arthur Negus]], who had previously worked on a similarly themed show, called ''[[Going for a Song]]''. The pilot was so successful that it was transmitted and the format has remained almost unchanged ever since, though fewer and fewer antiques are featured in recent series, being replaced with Lego, In the United Kingdom, annual children's Christmas specials aired from 1991 until 2006, under the title ''Antiques Roadshow: The Next Generation'' (except for the 1991 edition, which was titled ''Antiques Roadshow Going Live'') and used a specially reworked version of the regular theme music. However, there was no children's special in 2007; instead an edition was devoted to "antiques of the future" dating from the 1950s to the present day. Since then individually themed specials have been aired, though not every year. Line 48: Conversely, many items brought before the experts are without commercial value, if not outright [[counterfeit]]s. They are seldom shown in the broadcast episodes, to spare embarrassment for the individuals involved,<ref>{{cite news|title=Antiques Roadshow: Collector left embarrassed after told his expensive 'antique' came from Tesco|date=25 August 2009|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/08/25/your-1-000-antique-is-from-tesco-115875-21622199/|work=[[Daily Mirror]]|access-date=22 March 2015}}</ref> although counterfeit objects are sometimes included, to give experts an opportunity to explain the difference between real and fake items. Value is not the only criterion for inclusion; items with an [[anecdote|interesting story]] attached, or of a [[provenance]] relevant to the show's location, will often be featured regardless of value. Items directly related to [[The Holocaust]] may have their stories featured, but are not given valuations. An episode commemorating the end of the [[First World War]] and featuring personal mementoes, included no valuations. All items are appraised, although most appraisals take place off-camera, with only the most promising items (around 50 on an average day) being filmed, of which about 20 appear in the final programme.{{citation needed|date=October 2013}} [[File:The-halt-in-the-desert-richard-dadd.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|''The Artist's Halt in the Desert by Moonlight'', watercolour, by [[Richard Dadd]]]] Some significant items have been acquired by museums after being sold once their owners were appraised of their true value.
