Antiques Roadshow was at Wollaton Hall for one of its latest episodes and the show certainly delivered on shock value. Filming at the Nottingham venue drew in the crowds as well as rare and unusual objects.
But it was one particular segment that caused a rollercoaster of emotions when a guest was told an item, potentially worth £250,000, was actually worth £150. Initially, expert Ronnie Archer-Morgan was excited. He told the guest at the event: "When you unwrapped this, my heart really skipped a beat because it's one of my favourite tribal African figures."
Explaining how he came to own the object, the man told Ronnie he had bought the figure in Cambridge 10 years ago. He said: "It was right among the junk and it cost me the grand total of £1.50". Ronnie joked: "You really took a risk, didn't you?"
