About this programme
6/6. Michael Buerk and Bettany Hughes reveal the top 10 historical artefacts discovered by the public. William Roache investigates a 3,500-year-old gold cup ploughed up by a farmer, and a hoard of Viking treasure leads John Sergeant to the legacy of a man barely known today, but who was the first king of all England. A single coin, found in a collection of thousands in Oxfordshire, sheds light on a Roman emperor, while Michael Portillo explores the discovery of a tiny silver badge in the shape of a boar. Last in the series.
