In season 43 episode 12 of Antiques Roadshow UK, the team heads to the picturesque Newby Hall in North Yorkshire for the second time in the season. Fiona Bruce and the experts welcome visitors with their treasured possessions, from family heirlooms to garage sale finds.

The episode starts with Fiona Bruce introducing the Hall's impressive interiors, including the grand library with its impressive collection of rare books, and the stately drawing room with its stunning artworks. As the visitors come in, the experts are already busy examining various antique and vintage items, each with their own unique stories to tell.

One of the first items to be showcased is a Victorian watercolor painting, brought in by a woman whose family has had it for generations. She reveals that her great-great-grandfather was a prominent artist during the era, and the painting is believed to be one of his early works. The expert examines the painting carefully and is impressed with the quality and the subject matter, which is a depiction of the English countryside during the mid-1800s.

Another interesting item that catches the attention of the experts is a rare instrument brought in by a musician. It is a Gibson guitar that is believed to be from the 1930s, and the expert is amazed at its excellent condition despite being over 80 years old. As he plucks the strings and tests the sound, he explains the history behind Gibson guitars and why they are so highly coveted by collectors and musicians alike.

As the show progresses, we see a variety of other items being brought in, including vintage clocks, rare ceramics, and even an antique sword with a fascinating backstory. Perhaps one of the most heartwarming moments of the episode is when a young girl brings in a vintage teddy bear that once belonged to her grandmother. It is a Steiff bear from the early 1900s and is now worth a surprising amount of money, much to her delight.

Throughout the episode, we also get to see glimpses of Newby Hall's beautiful gardens, with its maze, waterfall, and walled garden. Fiona Bruce takes a stroll through the gardens and provides interesting insights into its rich history, as well as the different plants and flowers that adorn the landscape.

As the visitors bring in more and more fascinating items, the experts continue to provide valuable insights and anecdotes about their origins, history, and current market value. The show ends with Fiona Bruce bidding farewell to the guests, thanking them for sharing their cherished possessions and inviting viewers to tune in for the next episode, promising more surprises and fascinating insights into the world of antiques.
