Antiques Roadshow comes from the beautiful grounds of Belmont House in Kent, where Fiona summons the crowds in style with the help of a 14th-century instrument – the moot horn!

Ronnie Archer Morgan is wowed by a Polynesian club from the time of Captain Cook and persuades its owner to show it some love, while Mark Smith is thrilled to see an original telegram announcing the end of World War II.

Mark Hill only takes a minute to realise he's been brought something special when he examines a trophy awarded to pop legends Take That in 1995 – but how did it come to get a large dent in the middle of it?

Asian arms and militaria specialist Runjeet Singh takes a closer look at a sword that once belonged to a member of the Dervish religious order, and he gets the chance to examine some rare Indian weapons from the Belmont armoury.

Raj Bisram admires two early diving helmets and reveals how they were originally designed for fighting fires, not diving under the waves. He also sits down with former Kent and West Indies cricketer John Shepherd to find out about Belmont's close links to the early days of the sport.

And Rupert Maas is confounded when he's brought a painting signed by one of the greatest living artists of our time, David Hockney. It was given to a railway signalman who entertained the artist at the very beginning of his career.

Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service

Restaurateurs who are looking for a quick fix or social media glow-up are in for the surprise of their lives when famed culinary titan Gordon Ramsay trades his signature chef knives for a state-of-the-art surveillance vehicle and cutting-edge spyware in FOX's all-new unscripted series, Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service. In a Gordon Ramsay series first, Chef Ramsay will venture into struggling restaurants under the cover of night. With the help of a secret source on the inside, he'll gather raw, unfiltered evidence and get a 360-degree view of the major issues facing each restaurant. This insider will not only remain a secret to the staff, but will also help Ramsay infiltrate the restaurant after-hours for a dramatic nighttime black light kitchen investigation that reveals more filth and grossness than ever before. By the time Ramsay reveals his identity, it will be too late for staff to cover up their culinary crimes. Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service will be his toughest assignment yet as he takes drastic measures to transform not only the restaurant but also the staff, because Gordon knows he can upgrade the menu and renovate the restaurant, but the most important change has to come from the people. Are the restaurant and staff willing to accept Gordon's mission, or are they too far gone to be saved?
