The last of three programmes.
Oriental art was one of Sir William Burrell's great loves, and the recently opened Burrell Collection in Glasgow duly reflects this with a breathtaking display of ceramics and bronzes from China, carpets from the near east and prints from Japan.
John Julius Norwich with Deputy Keeper Rosemary Scott explores this part of the collection, in particular the fine examples of Chinese ceramics spanning 6,000 years. He also talks to Assistant Keeper James Thomson about the items from ancient civilisations, a field Burrell became interested in late in life.
Preparing the objects for exhibition after many years in storage has been a major undertaking. Chief Conservation Officer Janet Notman describes some of the problems she encountered.

Ruth Etchells 's passion for literature provided a welcome escape from her parents' old-fashioned religion and humble home. Yet, as she describes the pilgrimage which led her to become the first woman principal of St John's College, Durham, she reveals just how much her upbringing taught her. As her father lay dying, Ruth's quest for truth drew her towards the very faith she had scorned as a girl. '... slowly my two worlds became one and I saw how the good and evil that Shakespeare had opened up for me was there in the Gospel, but more personal, more profound, more loving than I could have dreamed ...'
