Antiques Roadshow

Hillsborough Castle (37x1)

: 14, 2014

The Antiques Roadshow returns for its 35th year as a favourite on Britain's TV screens, an occasion marked by a very special visit from Her Majesty the Queen to meet members of the team at Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland. Fiona Bruce introduces three of the show's specialists to the Queen and Prince Philip and we find out what their research revealed about a curious collection of items in the royal residence. Two and a half thousand visitors brave the rain for a memorable day near Belfast, bringing along treasures including a Shirley Temple doll, a mysterious lock and key found in a skip and a vintage wine bottle with a surprising value. There is also a return visit from the proud owners of a recently restored Cartier watch in a new feature that takes a fresh look at memorable items from past series - Antiques Roadshow Uncovered. It was devised in response to the question the Roadshow team gets asked most often by viewers - 'what happened next?'
