Fiona Bruce makes a surprising entrance to the show when she tries out the Eden Project’s famous zipline, and she finds out how a former china clay pit was repurposed as an ecological conservation project.\n\nJustin Croft is privileged to get up close with items belonging to some of Britain’s greatest poets, including unusual keepsakes such as fragments of hair from Samuel Taylor Coleridge, while Will Farmer falls for a stylish, decorative ceramic panel by a 1960s Finnish designer.\n\nMarc Allum is intrigued to see a set of blue beads given as a gift from the Zulu ruler King Cetshwayo to the royal naval surgeon who treated him after the Anglo-Zulu Wars, and hears that the surgeon’s ancestor would now like to return the beads to the Zulu people.\n\nFrances Christie admires a striking, almost psychedelic view of Notre-Dame in Paris by Sir Claude Francis Barry, while John Foster falls in love with a Greek plate depicting a woman’s face that dates back to around 300BC.\n\nMark Smith hears the stirring story of a Second World War pilot who shot down five enemy aircraft in a single night in 1943, making him a fighter ‘ace’. \n\nFiona Bruce is challenged to guess whether the value of a group of exquisite Japanese vases, brought in by Lee Young, has gone up or down over the years.
