Stuff the British Stole - Season 2

Season 2

There are eight new episodes as Fennell visits museums and galleries across 11 different nations from Kenya to Canada, in search of whole new suite of artefacts seized during the reign of the British Empire, revealing the truth of how they got there.

Marc ventures from Egyptian deserts to deep in the Amazon River and takes viewers from a shipwreck in the depths of the Aegean Sea to a robot laboratory high in a Tuscan mountain range. Legendary actor and writer Stephen Fry joins Marc in episode one for an investigation into arguably the most controversial museum display in Britain, the Parthenon Marbles.

Along the way, Marc uncovers hidden tales of heists, wars, intrigue, and skullduggery. Were these treasures really stolen? By whom? And what should be done with them now? The answers to these questions are never as straightforward as they seem.
