Antiques Roadshow guest blown away as painting he bought for £20 is valued at £18k in Ealing episode
Antiques Roadshow has come to Ealing , West London, tonight for the latest episode in its 47th series. It returns to the beautiful Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery for the third and final episode BBC filmed there earlier this year in May, airing at 8pm on BBC One. Over 3,000 guests attended the filming of the episodes hosted by Fiona Bruce. They saw amazing antique items like a set of watercolour paints that belonged to Queen Victoria , ‘dummy boards’ and not forgetting the rare wartime medal awarded to the carrier pigeon Mary. Today the first guest on the show turned up with a portrait of a young boy with a golden background. He said he paid just £20 or £30 for it in a charity shop in the 1980s but now it is apparently worth between £12,000 to £18,000 - up to 600 times more than he paid for it.
