FANS of Antiques Roadshow has been left gutted about a “disappointing” episode for the Platinum Jubilee weekend.
Viewers of the long-running BBC One programme took to social media to fume that the episode was actually a repeat from 2018.
Antiques Roadshow was seen undertaking a coronation special on Sunday night, as part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebration.
But after tuning in to see some Royal memorabilia, fans of the show quickly realised it was a repeat episode that had already aired.
The Coronation Special first played four years ago, in 2018, in celebration of the Sapphire Jubilee – marking 65 years of reign.
Taking to Twitter, a number of viewers admitted they were left furious after they expected new Royal objects to look at.

SHOCK
Antiques Roadshow viewers stunned as 'livid' sports star guest breaks down in tears
“The disappointment that the Antiques Roadshow is a repeat from 2018,” one fan fumed during Sunday night’s show.
“This evening is a repeat of the Antiques Roadshow coronation special from five years ago,” a second chimed in.
“So disappointed to see that,” a third said, as a fourth agreed: “Not even a new one? Blimey. This is what we pay a licence fee for?”
It comes after an Antiques Roadshow guest was left stunned after the VERY rude meaning behind his gold medal was revealed.
BBC host Fiona Bruce took viewers to the stunning grounds of the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh in last week’s episode.
It was a Scottish medal that caught the attention of expert Gordon.
Speaking about how he acquired the medal, the guest told Gordon: “I bought it about nearly 30 years ago from the old Edinburgh, rare book dealer called Alan Rankin, who is sadly no longer with us. I thought it was a curiosity.”
The expert replied: “Very much a curiosity. You probably know a bit about it as the Beggar’s Benison Club, which was a gentleman’s private all-male club.”
Gordon told the guest the gentleman’s club was founded in the 1730s, but they opened a branch in Edinburg in the 1770s.
“I suspect that’s probably where this one comes from one of the Edinburgh branches,” Gordon explained as he pointed out: “There are no marks on it.”
As he inspected the medal further, the expert suspected it would have been worn at meetings.

“Thank you,” the guest replied as Gordon concluded: “Thanks so much for sharing with us a great piece, a great story.”
Antiques Roadshow airs on Sunday at 8pm on BBC One.
