Fiona joined the Antiques Roadshow as the presenter in 2008. One of her favourite things about working on the Roadshow is that she never knows what's going to turn up or what she will be filming that day听鈥 鈥渋t's all spontaneous and entirely unpredictable鈥.

A typical Roadshow day for Fiona starts with a brief press call for the local media. She then gets stuck into finding out what's turned up and talking to visitors about what they've brought along. When she鈥檚 not filming, she works at the reception desk which is where we get our first look at what items have been brought in.

Fiona鈥檚 most memorable (and unusual) find on the Roadshow is a desiccated caul 鈥 it鈥檚 a foetal membrane that was once a pretty valuable commodity, and it was even thought to protect the owner from drowning!
