Antiques Roadshow is at Newby Hall in Yorkshire, where the finds include an intriguing letter from Lord Nelson, politely replying to his optician just weeks before the Battle of Trafalgar. There is also an engagement ring that was picked up in a pawn shop and a piece of the set from Live Aid, rescued from a skip. Familiar to those of a certain generation, it was used as the backdrop for a host of interviews with the world鈥檚 greatest pop stars, from Bob Geldof to Bono and Brian May, during the concert in 1985.

We see an extraordinary collection of Australian artefacts and hear how living amongst indigenous people changed the lives of two sisters. Also, the Bradford Museum launches an appeal to find the families featured in thousands of photos in their archive.
