The UK version of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW returns as presenter Fiona Bruce and the team are back on the trail of the nation’s hidden treasures, visiting more of Britain’s most sumptuous and unusual locations.
Season 36 also introduces a new play-along feature – The Rogues Gallery, where viewers get the chance to see whether they can spot a fake among real treasures.
In this episode, Fiona Bruce and the experts pay a return visit to the Royal Agricultural University at Cirencester in the Cotswolds.
Family heirlooms under examination include a mantrap allegedly used to catch an amorous lover intent on elopement with the vicar's daughter; a portrait of the first chairman of a well-known British insurance company originally founded to pay for funerals of cholera victims; and a 14th century seal bought in a boot sale.
Plus, could a visitor really have a teapot once used by Nelson?
