Antiques Road Trip
The Buddha and the Lotus
Season 30 Episode 19 of 20
Tahmina Ghaffar and David Harper explore the south-west. While in the region, Tahmina finds herself drawn to all things eastern, including Chinese silk lotus shoes, a temple bronze and an Islamic scribe's tool made out of brass. David, meanwhile, casts his net wide on a tea picker's basket, a tobacco jar and some Georgian furniture. The duo then stop off in Hereford to explore the cathedral's amazing, chained library and uncover the stories on the Mappa Mundi. As they head to auction, the white gloves are off
Antiques Road Trip airs on BBC One Channel Islands HD at 4:30 PM, Thursday 6 March. (Subtitles, new.)
