The BBC launches its Antiques Roadshow app on Android and Apple smartphones today, marking the second phase of the long-running show’s interactive expansion.
In September, the BBC launched a Red Button playalong game to coincide with the launch of season 35 of the series, which was played by more than 1.5 million unique users in its first nine weeks, according to BBC stats.
The previously announced mobile app brings the multiple choice valuation game to devices outside the TV and also lets viewers access additional information about items featured on the show. It is the corporation’s first live, synchronous smartphone app.
