Christmas Special

Overview

Fiona Bruce presents a special Christmas episode of Antiques Roadshow featuring unseen treasures from some of the most beautiful venues of recent years, festive treats from roadshow experts and updates on memorable items discovered on the show. The Vyne in Hampshire, a Tudor mansion steeped in history, provides a suitably festive backdrop for the show. Childhood memories are rekindled with a look at much-loved vintage toys, while rare books and prints provide a glimpse of past white Christmases when the River Thames froze over. The team also find out what happened when the owner of a cherished letter from JRR Tolkien got the chance to rediscover his own correspondence with the famous fantasy author on a trip to Oxford’s Bodleian Library.
