Bishop's Palace 2
The team return to Wells in Somerset to see some Fabergé jewellery, a plate by Pugin and a guitar left behind in England by a soldier who never returned from the D-Day landings.
Antiques Roadshow returns to one of the smallest cities in England - Wells in Somerset - where the Bishop’s Palace hosts Fiona and the team.
Elaine Binning hears the story of a gymnast who competed in the 1928 Olympics, the first time the games admitted female gymnastic competitors. Rupert Maas examines a piece of street art on a metal panel by the artist Bambi, while Eric Knowles admires a broken plate by the Victorian designer Augustus Pugin and is impressed that its owner even has a tattoo in the Pugin style.
Marc Allum is moved by the story of an American ‘resonator’ blues guitar, left behind in England by a soldier who never returned from the D-Day landings, while Geoffrey Munn challenges Fiona Bruce to put three pieces of stunning Fabergé jewellery in order of value.
Fiona also chats with furniture specialist Lennox Cato about his life in antiques, hearing how he was adopted as a child into a family of antiques dealers.
