Antiques Roadshow

The roadshow visits Stephens House & Gardens, an idyllic park in the heart of Finchley, north London. Gordon Foster is delighted to see a set of silver salt cellars discovered in an attic and almost thrown away, while Lee Young marvels at a damaged Chinese statuette bought for £5 in a junk shop. Alex Gill finds a still life by Duncan Grant with some fascinating wallpaper and an even more compelling price tag, while Elaine Binning is charmed by miniature items made with walnuts. Geoffrey Munn is transported to 17th-century England by a signet ring lost for 400 years, and Will Farmer finds a little jug designed by none other than Pablo Picasso. Marc Allum is thrilled to see a miniature suit of armour, perfect in every detail, while Ronnie Archer-Morgan discovers a rare Inuit invention. Sometimes extraordinary stories and high values go hand in hand as Mark Smith reveals when he encounters a medal awarded to a World War II bomb disposal expert who saved St Paul's Cathedral from damage with seconds to spare. Pop culture expert Claire Tole-Moir challenges Fiona Bruce to a game of 'Basic, Better, Best', featuring items linked to leading 60s photographer Brian Duffy and music legend David Bowie. But which is more valuable: the original design for Bowie's iconic Aladdin Sane album cover or the humble photographer's stool, graced by many a famous bottom?
