The synopsis reads: "With 60 minutes on the clock and two crime-related challenges to fulfil, the teams scour the stalls at a huge antiques fair at Ardingly in West Sussex. The red team try on some antique handcuffs, but Rav gets Michelle in a panic when he drops the key! The blues find an old collection of truncheons, which brings back memories of their days on the beat. Meanwhile, Bargain Hunt presenter Christina Trevanion admires a collection of historic policing items, from fascinating fingerprinting apparatus to mid-19th-century mugshots, courtesy of West Midlands Police Museum.

In addition to the Bargain Hunt episode, Crimewatch will also mark its 40-year anniversary with a new series hosted by Rav and Michelle, which kicks off on Monday 30 September at 10.45am, broadcasting live from its Cardiff studios over three weeks.

The series, which airs on the BBC this autumn, will feature exclusive interviews with leading officers, alongside the crucial CCTV, forensic evidence and witness testimony that allowed them to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Speaking about the show's impressive milestone, Michelle said: "It really is quite something to be marking 40 years of Crimewatch. To think back on the list of presenters that have come before me on this show is really humbling but most importantly to see what an impact the show has had over the years - working alongside the emergency services - really is incredible. I hope it continues for another 40!"
