Fiona Bruce returned as presenter for Antiques Road Show's 47th series (Image: BBC Studios / Anna Gordon)Susan said: "Well you could have probably travelled quite luxuriously on your way over here, because value wise at auction, we're going to be looking in the region of £4,000 to £6,000." "Last year we saw a dazzling range of items: jewellery bought for a few pounds at a car boot sale, an Olympic torch, a Rolex that had been through a lawnmower, punk T-shirts, a 2,000-year-old carved stone head, a silver jug used in a royal ritual."
