BBC One - Antiques Roadshow, Series 38, Plas Newydd 1

Treasures include a toilet dating from the 1840s and two giant toy giraffes.

The Antiques Roadshow visits Plas Newydd in Wales, where treasures include a Victorian cane and a piece of the Menai suspension bridge.

The Antiques Roadshow returns for a new series, beginning with a visit to Plas Newydd in Wales on a glorious summer's day on the Isle of Anglesey.

Fiona Bruce delves into the stirring history of the first Marquess of Anglesey, Henry Paget, who served alongside the Duke of Wellington, while the house yields a remarkable relic in the form of a spyglass that belonged to Napoleon.

A Victorian cane carved with an image of the Menai suspension bridge provides a quirky tribute to engineer Thomas Telford, but specialist Hilary Kay is stunned when a huge piece of the bridge itself arrives in the shape of an old tollgate.

The team puzzle over the workings of a toilet dating from the 1840s, while a pair of faded 16th-century plates turn out to have been salvaged from a shipwreck in the Phillippines. 

Clocks specialist Richard Price is stunned by an 18th-century grandmother clock whose plain exterior hides the name of a magical maker, while two giant toy giraffes steal the show when they're christened by the crowd.

There's also the first of a regular new feature, The Imposter, in which experts challenge Fiona Bruce to spot the odd one out amongst a collection of objects. First up, four beautiful carriage clocks - but which one is a modern fake?
