Antiques Roadshow's Fiona Bruce Returns to Bishops Palace in Wells Somerset

The Antiques Roadshow Christmas Special

BBC host Fiona Bruce returned to Bishops Palace in Wells Somerset in yesterday's episode of The Antiques Roadshow Christmas Special. The episode saw Bruce, 57, look through the archives at the palace, which is home to a collection of over 1,000 objects dating back to the 13th century.

A Special Item

During the episode, Bruce shared a personal item that was particularly special to her. It was a small silver locket that had been given to her by her grandmother. Bruce said that the locket was a reminder of her grandmother and that she always wore it close to her heart.

A Brutal Moment

Bruce also recalled a "brutal moment" that happened during the filming of the episode. One of the experts, Marc Allum, told Bruce that a painting she had brought in was only worth £20. Bruce said that she was "disappointed" by the valuation, but that she understood that it was the expert's job to give an honest assessment.

A Lasting Impression

The episode of The Antiques Roadshow Christmas Special was a reminder of the importance of our history and the value of our heritage. Bruce's personal story about the locket and her reaction to the valuation of the painting showed that even the smallest objects can have a profound meaning.
