EPISODE LIST

The Antiques Roadshow returns to Scone Palace in Perthshire, Scotland, where the team discover an ornate wooden box said to have been stolen from Napoleon, a portrait of a wartime heroine and a rather vicious-looking strap once wielded in Scottish classrooms. Scone Palace provides an imposing backdrop for a roadshow brimming with beautiful treasures and items reputed to have famous historical connections. Family legend holds that a 19th-century military campaign box was stolen from Napoleon - but can it be proven? A striking portrait reveals the story of a woman who helped save the lives of hundreds of Jews in occupied Holland during the Second World War. And we admire a silver tea service that was once due to be melted down to raise funds for a spitfire during the war. Fiona Bruce also meets a teacher with a fearsome leather strap - the Scottish equivalent of the cane, an implement of corporal punishment only outlawed in the 1980s
