Alex Jones has urged viewers of The One Show to check their cupboards for VHS cassettes after a rare copy of an '80s classic sold for a huge sum.
In a video broadcast on Thursday's edition of the BBC magazine show, journalist Joe Crowley explained that a sealed Back to the Future tape sold for $75,000 at an auction in the United States last week. The value of a cassette is dependent on its condition and whether it was part of a limited release or first batch.
Crowley visited Videodyssey in Liverpool, which is the last VHS-only store in the UK. The owner of the store, Andy, said: "There must be some films out there that the only copy is in someone's attic. If you've got a copy of The Evil Dead or some old horror films – Jaws is particularly sought after – then you could be on to a nice little earner."
