There is a fair amount of padding but the journey can be interesting,

Regardless the outcome, 'tis a stunning painting.

Did you see the daughters face light up at the end when it turned out to be a Lawrence?

She struggled to control her happiness at £500k rather than 8 grand!

It was as if cross-contamination of the halo effect had taken place.

' of course we don't want to sell, its just for insurance purposes'

that is what they always say on antiques roadshow

[Laurel Green]

I seem to remember her saying "it will stay in the family" so should have been happier if it was attributed to Maria Cosway, there for less in insurance premiums.

Looks like a really interesting episode tonight...

[Laurel Green]

Yep, what could be a Giorgio de Chirico bought for a pound in a junk shop. I do hope the junk shop proprietor is watching.

Police, camera auction might be interesting on ITV.

Maybe a few PH members will appear.

Indeed, especially considering that all the fakes seem to have been signed.

The start was more interesting than the rest.

I didn't expect there would be a market for buying designer used men's swimwear.

Made me feel all happy to see some con-artists/drug-dealers get their comeuppance and have their 'valued' possessions' sold off. Was also nice to see some of the victims getting a share of the monies back too.

Why would they leave over a million in bitcoin on physical media rather than just storing it digitally in a far-flung jurisdiction or even at their mums?
