POPULAR TV programme Antiques Roadshow is coming to Polesden Lacey in Bookham. The BBC One show will visit the stately home on May 16 as it kicks off its 36th series, with entry to the televised event completely free. Doors will open at the National Trust site from 9.30am to 4.30pm, where some of Britain's leading antique specialists will be on hand to value Mole Valley residents' hidden treasures. Presenter Fiona Bruce said: "This will be my sixth year on the Antiques Roadshow and I still feel so lucky to be presenting the programme. "Every week is different; a new location and thousands of new visitors. The only constant is the pleasure of the unexpected - we never know what will turn up, from the most fabulous Faberge to the most humble object with a riveting story." Series editor Simon Shaw said: "Fiona and the team are really looking forward to their visit. "Although we can never predict what will come to light, every show brings big surprises, which is what makes working on the show so exciting. "So, on behalf of all of the experts, we're asking the people of Surrey to dig out your treasures." People with large pieces of furniture or other big items can send details and photographs of their objects to: Antiques Roadshow, BBC, Whiteladies Road, Bristol BS8 2LR or e-mail them to: antiques.roadshow@bbc.co.uk Polesden Lacey is the former home of famous Edwardian hostess Mrs Greville, who used the property to entertain royalty and politicians.
