Antiques Roadshow: Record item discovered

The Antiques Roadshow has been a TV staple for almost four decades, and the show’s experts have just found the most valuable item in the programme’s history.

The item, described by producers as “a world famous piece owned by a sporting institution”, was discovered in North Yorkshire. It is worth more than £1m (€1.4m).

According to the BBC, this breaks the record for the previous holder of the title, a model of Antony Gormley’s Angel Of The North, which was valued at £1m in 2008.
