- Every day in Britain somebody, somewhere unearths treasure. These are objects left behind by British ancestors that reveal the remarkable story of Britain-who the Brits were, and how they once lived. In this fourth episode of the series, the countdown of objects continues from object #26 to object #19. Mary Ann Ochota uncovers a murder mystery cold case in Canterbury, via discovery of pilgrim badges in the river; finder Dave Crisp reveals what it is like to dig up 52,000 Roman coins; Brian Blessed goes on a journey to discover the identity of a beautiful Roman bust, found by a farmer in Oxfordshire; Gethin Jones is bowled over by a stunning Roman drinking cup with a leopard handle; and a curious Viking spindle whorl reveals ancient "magic" runes.
