listen to ‘Tony Blackburn talk about Terrific...Tony thanks York’ on Audioboom

TWO familiar faces have been spotted motoring around York while filming a BBC television programme in the city.

Legendary DJ Tony Blackburn and singer Toyah Wilcox have been in town to film the prime-time programme, Antiques Road Trip Celebrity Special.

The show sees the pair competing against one another, with the help of experts, to buy antiques and then to make the most money at auction in aid of Children In Need.

They have spent two days driving around York in vintage cars, visiting the Minster and the Castle Museum as well as Red House Antiques, The Antiques Centre and Banana Warehouse.

Tony said: “It’s been terrific. We have been buying stuff and looking around the Castle Museum. We have had a great time and have been signing autographs when people have come across us in the car.

“York is a lovely place.

“We have been driving back and forwards over the bridges – it’s been really nice.”
