From divers to detectorists and magnet fishers, the team work together to try and track down all manner of lost items that are scattered around the lakebeds and forests.

They will then either begin the process of trying to work out who the item belongs to or reunite it with their delighted owners.

Comments from Helen and BBC

Speaking about the programme in the past, Helen Skelton commented: "I am thrilled to be returning to my home in the Lake District for a second series of Lost and Found in the Lakes. I had a fantastic experience returning lost treasures to their owners and I cannot wait to get back to it!"

Meanwhile, Alex McLeod, BBC Daytime Commissioning Editor added: "The first series of Lost and Found in the Lakes was a big hit with viewers, thanks to its irresistible mix of drama, emotion, and beautiful scenery. We’re thrilled to be bringing it back for a second series and can’t wait to see what finds the team will discover next."

A release date for the forthcoming series is yet to be confirmed. Lost and Found in the Lakes is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
