The Eden Project, Cornwall 2 is an episode‑style programme that is filmed on location at the Eden Project in Cornwall. The broadcast is fronted by Fiona Bruce, who acts as the presenter and leads viewers through the setting, offering a clear guide to the material on show. In this installment the focus turns to a small but varied collection of objects. Among the items displayed are tiny strands of hair that have been identified as belonging to the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, together with a ceramic plate whose provenance has been traced back to roughly 300 BC. The Eden Project itself provides the backdrop for these artefacts, linking a contemporary venue with pieces of literary and archaeological interest. Fiona Bruce moves between the exhibits, delivering factual commentary about each object and noting the recorded origins that have been attached to them. By concentrating on these particular pieces—a personal relic of Coleridge and an ancient plate—the episode underscores the range of material that can be found within the Eden Project’s holdings. The presentation remains straightforward, centred on the objects and the documented information that accompanies them, without venturing beyond the facts supplied.
