This week: Oldham
In this series Arthur Negus is joined by Angela Rippon , and they go on the road with a team of Britain's leading experts. They meet the public informally and discuss treasured possessions brought along for their assessment.
The result is a programme filled with surprises and excitement as people discover the truth about objects that have, sometimes, been gathering dust for years. Perhaps the biggest surprise is there are more' finds' than disappointments.
