Petroc Trelawny and guests enjoy the surroundings of the Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle.

This magnificent French-style museum was the bold creation of John Bowes and his French wife Jos茅phine, who laid the foundation stone in 1869. Petroc hears their extraordinary story, views some of the jewels of their collection, and explores the beautiful gardens.

Clarinettist Robert Plane and the Gould Piano Trio play live, and there鈥檒l be a special performance by one of the finest musical automata of the 18th century: the life-sized Silver Swan, described by Mark Twain as having "a living grace about his movement and a living intelligence in his eyes."
