Antiques and artworks all have contexts. We look at some of the remarkable circumstances surrounding them – a perplexing mediaeval manuscript, a “padlock – shaped” silver watch stand, some bronze age axe heads (delivered to the door), a clock with a secret history, a small (very male) effigy, and a (once deemed offensive) vinyl disc. And a quiz question (vey inoffensive).

This broadcast is devoted to the odd, strange and peculiar. Remarkable prices and financial machinations contrasting with humanity and some surprising stories surrounding antiques and artworks. Portrayed through a stuffed fish, Roman sandals, William Shakespeare, a poison bottle, board game, Star Wars figure and museums. Some surprises indeed!
