Combining the seriousness of antique hunting with the fun of a competition this new eight-part series is being described as " The Antiques Roadshow's younger cousin". Each week two pairs of contestants are given tasks that will reveal both their ability to spot a real antique and their eye for quality.
The tasks are set by Antiques Roadshow experts and in this first programme include an early morning trip to Bermondsey Market in London to buy a piece of silver, the identification of a real diamond from a paste one and a spell on the rostrum at a Bond Street auction house.
Presenter Jilly Goolden, best known for her appearances on Food and Drink, admits she knows nothing about antiques. Even so, she was caught up in the atmosphere of bargain hunting at antique auctions: "I had enormous difficulties with my right arm.... it kept straying upwards and waving!" Director David Cumming Producer Jannine Waddell

Welcome to Happy Valley
An apple a day might keep the doctor away but many of the inhabitants of Wenatchee in America prefer a Prozac a day to keep them happy and healthy. This documentary takes a look at the most prescribed anti-depressant drug in America by visiting Wenatchee - or "Happy Valley, Prozac Capital of the World" as it is known.
Wenatchee psychologist Dr Jim Goodwin prescribes Prozac for all his clients because he believes everyone is depressed, they just don't realise it. He argues that Prozac is "probably less toxic than salt" - he even takes it himself.
Not surprisingly he has his critics. Psychiatrist
Dr Peter Breggin puts forward his theory that suffering is a necessary fact of life, while members of the Prozac Survivors Support Group give some harrowing accounts of how their lives have been destroyed by the drug.
