Series 10, Episode 2 - The Treasure Of The Deep

The ornate piece of silver that Compo accidentally hauls from the canal is quickly identified by Seymour as being part of a candlestick - Georgian with strong continental influence - and probably part of some thieves' haul thrown into the water in panic. If Seymour can recover the rest of the loot and return it to its rightful owner, he might be accepted by the County set.
