At the National Botanic Garden of Wales in Carmarthenshire, curiosities include a beaker unearthed in a First World War trench and a rare James Bond prop.

Antiques Roadshow comes from the lush surroundings of the National Botanic Garden of Wales in Carmarthenshire, where Fiona Bruce discovers how plant-based remedies were mixed and bottled by Victorian pharmacists.

Braving the rainy weather, visitors bring an eclectic range of items for the experts to appraise. James Bond memorabilia make an appearance alongside a miniature steam engine and a rare religious ring. Ceramics expert Jon Axford is astonished to see not one but three unique pieces of Martinware pottery, while silver specialist Duncan Campbell unearths a beaker dug out of a First World War trench and used as a shaving cup.
