Antiques Roadshow: The most expensive items ever on the BBC One show including Van Dyck Painting


Britain's beloved Antiques Roadshow has been a gold mine for families for nearly half a century.

The Roadshow has featured many items with a celebrity connection: George Harrison's guitar, a letter from Kate Bush to a fan, a drawing by heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali and even a toilet roll rejected for use by the Beatles. Amongst the team are a former long haul airline pilot (Richard Price), a soldier turned ski instructor (Raj Bisram), a rock journalist (Andy McConnell) and celebrity hairdresser and DJ (Ronnie Archer-Morgan). A travelling chest (which had journeyed across Britain, over the Atlantic to New York and back) brought to the Castle Cawdor Roadshow in 2012 was eventually proven to have belonged to Queen Anne and was returned to Hampton Court where it was originally housed.
