Antiques Roadshow is a huge success for the BBC and has been running since 1979 - but the show has been forced to move to a different channel in a schedule shake-up.

Antiques Roadshow fans might be confused this Sunday, June 16, as the beloved programme has been moved from its usual BBC One slot.

Instead, Fiona Bruce will be hosting the show on BBC Two due to a schedule change when England clashes with Serbia at UEFA Euro 2024.

This week's rerun transports viewers to Stonor Park in Oxfordshire, where items assessed include a rare artefact that survived the attack on Pearl Harbour and an LS Lowry painting.

The experts will also analyse ancient carvings from the Indian subcontinent and an intriguing wooden carving with a mysterious past.

Antiques Roadshow isn't the only programme to be disrupted by football as BBC One's Saturday evening schedule will instead be taken up by Italy vs Albania.

Casualty would normally air on BBC One but will instead be shown at 8.20pm on BBC Two on Saturday (June 15).

Detective drama Rebus will also switch from BBC One to BBC Two and be shown at the slightly later time of 9.10pm until 9.55pm.

It will be followed by Later...with Jools Holland from 9.55pm until 10.40pm. On Saturday, BBC One's Euro 2024 coverage will air from 7.20pm until 10.10pm with Italy v Albania kicking off at 8pm.

Sunday's coverage will be slightly longer from 7pm until 10.30pm with Gareth Southgate's side kicking off their tournament at 8pm.

Next week, the Prince of Wales is to travel to Germany to cheer on the England team as they face Denmark on June 20.

William, president of the FA, will watch Gareth Southgate's side in their second Group C stage match at the Frankfurt Arena on June 20 - the day before his 42nd birthday, Kensington Palace announced.

The trip will be a solo one for William as the Princess of Wales is away from public duties at the moment while she continues her treatment for cancer.
