Portchester 2

BBC One - Antiques Roadshow, Series 44, Portchester 2

Fiona and the team visit Portchester Castle on the south coast of England.

Fiona and the team visit Portchester Castle in Hampshire, where treasures include punk clothing, paintings by 20th-century Indian artists and a rare set of Battle of Britain medals.

Fiona Bruce and the team travel to Portchester Castle in Hampshire on the south coast of England, where treasures include an extraordinary set of RAF medals awarded for extreme bravery to an airman who served in Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain. The team also admire some rare punk clothing by fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and a roll of ornate Arts and Crafts wallpaper destined for the bonfire.

Amin Jaffer appraises two valuable paintings by prominent 20th-century Indian artists, Jamini Roy and KH Ara, and explains how each man expressed ideas of Indian identity and nationhood in his work. 

Fiona explores a little-known chapter in the history of Portchester Castle when she finds out about its role as a prisoner of war camp in the late 18th century, when it was home to freed slaves from the Caribbean who had fought for France and been captured by the British. 

Andy McConnell is moved by a collection of glass that was brought out of Vienna by a Jewish couple who were forced to flee when the Nazis annexed Austria, while Ronnie Archer-Morgan is intrigued by a ceremonial paddle from the Austral Islands – until he realises it was snapped in half to fit inside a sailor’s sea chest.
