Restoration Roadshow

Episode 13

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

Series devoted to saving treasured heirlooms from the scrapheap, restoring them to their former glory and maybe even making some money at auction.

Eric Knowles and his brilliantly talented group of restorers take to the road again in search of antiques and heirlooms destined for oblivion. The team set up shop at magnificent Burghley House, and in next to no time everyone's busy tending to all manner of items brought in by the public.

While picture restorer Lucia Scalisi casts an expert eye over a majestic 17th-century portrait of Charles II, Tim Akers tackles a demi-lune cabinet in need of some serious beauty therapy and a charming Victorian cot that's destined for the auction house.

But it's ceramics maestro Roger Hawkins who faces the toughest test when a lady turns up with a Moorcroft vase that would be worth thousands - if only it hadn't suffered a severe case of frostbite. Can Roger save the day? Show less
