Swanage Pier and Seafront 1

The roadshow is at Swanage Pier in Dorset, where highlights include a famous pantomime dame's costumes, a battered watch with a big price tag and valuable Star Wars memorabilia.

The roadshow is at Swanage Pier and seafront in Dorset on England's south coast, where treasures include a rare Omega watch that was run over by a lawnmower – but does expert Richard Price think it’s worth saving?

Duncan Campbell is amazed by the best silver item he's ever seen on a roadshow, a tiny teapot by a renowned maker, while a group of three stunning diamond jewels makes John Benjamin's day.

Cristian Beadman examines an unusual artefact dug up in a back garden in St Albans that may have come all the way from ancient Egypt, while Mark Hill sees a more modern treasure in the form of souvenirs from the Star Wars film The Empire Strikes Back.

Mark is also fascinated by an array of drag queen costumes that once belonged to pantomime and TV legend John Inman, while Marc Allum sees several albums of hand-drawn Victorian postcards that tell a very personal story.

Will Farmer challenges Fiona Bruce to a guessing game with some of his own Poole pottery collection that doesn't go entirely to plan – for either of them! – and miscellany specialist Raj Bisram shares three personal items that tell the story of his life in antiques.
