The Best of the Summer

In this special programme, Fiona Bruce shares some of the best unseen items from recent roadshows around the UK, from rare space memorabilia to a jewel-encrusted dagger and a well-loved rocking horse that has entertained three generations of one family.

John Sandon is astonished to find that a trio of ceramic dishes, fit for a king, have survived unbroken in someone’s attic, and one visitor wants to know if an elaborately decorated bureau is worth restoring. At the V&A Dundee roadshow, elements of modern design take centre stage.
