The Yorkshire Auction House

In Derbyshire, Angus unearths a range of ancient Greek and Roman artefacts, revealing a hidden historical cache that hints at past cultures. While travelling in Kent, he is drawn to a curiously well‑travelled wardrobe, intrigued by its mysterious journey and the stories it may hold.

Ancient Antiquities and Top Tackle is a television episode that mixes a look at historic objects with a more relaxed, hands‑on style of presenting. The show follows a single presenter as he moves between different sites, uncovering items that have survived from earlier ages while keeping the tone informal and approachable. In the first segment, the presenter – Angus – works in Derbyshire where he discovers a collection of artefacts dating back to ancient Greece and Rome. The finds include items that clearly belong to those classical periods, and Angus documents the process of bringing them to light, noting their condition and the context in which they were buried. The episode then shifts to Kent, where Angus’s attention is drawn to a wardrobe that has travelled extensively over the years. The piece is unusual because of the marks and wear that suggest it has been moved from place to place, and Angus examines its construction and the clues it offers about its journey. Both locations serve to illustrate the varied nature of the objects that can surface during a search. Whether it’s classical relics in the heart of England or a well‑traveled piece of furniture in the south, Angus’s curiosity drives the investigation, linking the past with the present in a straightforward, observational way.
