The roadshow is at Sefton Park in Liverpool, where treasures include 2,000-year-old cufflinks, a letter from Kate Bush, a portrait from the English Civil War and an early version of the Beatles logo made for a drumkit.

Marc Allum marvels at the largest guitar ever seen on the roadshow, a novelty giant Hoffner, the brand favoured by Paul McCartney, and he is moved to tears by another piece of music memorabilia – a touching letter from Kate Bush to an avid fan.

Gordon Foster discusses the merits of cleaning silverware, while John Foster is excited by a pair of cufflinks fashioned from 2,000-year-old coins. Eric Knowles challenges Fiona to guess the values of three unique cameo glass vases.

Adam Schoon is intrigued by a portrait and a collection of clothes that reveal a bloody chapter of the English Civil War, while John Benjamin admires a necklace crafted from scores of colourful gems from Sri Lanka that was discovered in a loft.

Fiona meets the descendent of a local hero, James Clarke, who moved to the city from Guyana at the turn of the 20th century and used his swimming skills to save countless lives in Liverpool’s docks. Show less
