This week Sebastian arrives from Edinburgh with an item dating back to the 1930s.

If audio expert Mark Stuckey can get it working, it'll be the first time anybody has heard the contents of these recordings for over 80 years.
Meanwhile, a barber set and Hungarian fruit bowl are also on the jobs list. Presented by Jay Blades

Nice Girls, Netflix
In this French film, the fearless Léo (Alice Taglioni) fancies herself the ‘best cop on the French Riviera’.
When she hears about the murder, in Hamburg, of her colleague Ludo – who was like a brother to her – she is determined to find out the truth.
But her boss (Noémie Lvovsky) has other ideas, and insists on handing the case over to a German super-cop.
There’s no way Léo will let a ‘loser in a suit’ conduct the investigation, especially when she hears the cop in question is the attractive and overtrained Mélanie (Stéfi Celma).
Forced into an uneasy partnership, these two fiery but conflicting characters have no idea that the city of Nice is facing an imminent threat - and that they are more closely connected than they thought.
