Antiques Roadshow: Holker Hall

Series 24, episode 0

The team travel to the Lake District, where Fiona Bruce and the experts meet hundreds of local visitors proudly bringing their family treasures for evaluation. There's an eclectic mix of objects featured, ranging from a writing desk from the tsar's palace bought after the Russian Revolution and over 100 vintage fire helmets owned by a former firefighter, to Edwardian weightlifting equipment still in use today by a 75-year-old owner and a collection of glam rock stage costumes. But closing honours goes to a rare collection of signed first editions by Beatrix Potter still owned by descendants of the writer's solicitor.
