The Antiques Roadshow visits Chenies Manor near Amersham in Buckinghamshire. The team are spoilt for choice on a glorious summer's day as they admire a chair designed by a family better known for luxury cars and a painting by one of Britain's first modern artists - still life with pint of beer. Fiona Bruce meets a collector of Star Wars memorabilia who hunts down rare props around the world and she is amazed at the value of an iconic plastic helmet. The secrets of a Chinese bamboo pot are revealed when specialist Freya Yuan translates an engraved poem and its value comes as a shock. The Roadshow also explores the growing debate around antique ivory with contributions from Will Travers of the Born Free Foundation and Dr Marjorie Trusted of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
