Exeter 8
Rare beeswax figures left by medieval worshippers at Exeter Cathedral are shown to Eric Knowles. Meanwhile, two teams of families go bargain-hunting.
A unique collection of medieval figures is revealed to Eric Knowles at Exeter Cathedral. Stonemasons unearthed the beeswax figures a year after the cathedral was bombed by German planes during World War II. Eric finds out why thousands were left by worshippers at the tomb of a 15th-century bishop.
Across the city, experts Izzie Balmer and Serhat Ahmet lead two teams on a race around hundreds of stalls in search of profitable antiques. In red are Devon brothers Nick and Lloyd, who plan to buy a house in France with their winnings! Competing against them are mum and daughter Jenny and Ellie in the blue corner.
Izzie’s advice rings true when the brothers ponder sets of crystal wine glasses and tumblers, while it’s case closed for the blues when they see the price of a luxury leather trunk.
