The 30‑minute slot is a quick burst of tension and a bit of nostalgia, especially for fans of the original series. The format stays the same: contestants hit the board and answer questions. It’s still entertaining even if it doesn’t have the same buzz as the newer shows.
2. The Chase – Trivia Takedown
From 07:00 to 09:00 the channel plays its most reliable draw: The Chase.

4. The Bidding Room – Antique Auction Action
From 10:00 to 11:00 Nigel Havers hosts The Bidding Room, giving the public a behind‑the‑scenes look at how antiques and collectibles are appraised and sold. It’s a relaxed, informative segment that offers a break from the quick‑fire quiz format.
5. Celebrity Antiques Road Trip – Road‑Trip Rumble
