Experts examine artefacts offered up by the people of Birmingham, where finds include the most valuable piece of English pottery ever seen at a Roadshow.

Michael Aspel and the experts visit Birmingham and find a Victorian painting which was damaged in the Blitz, a telescope given for saving the lives of nine castaways, an early 19th-century wooden ark filled with 89 animals and a small pottery Turk's head, which turns out to be the most valuable piece of English pottery ever found at a Roadshow.
