Houghton Hall

Michael Aspel invites members of the public to bring along their antiques for examination. Interesting finds include a finger exerciser, a costume worn by Yul Brynner, a poacher's gun disguised as a walking stick and a collection of Oxo memorabilia.

There are valuable items too - a collection of 100 silver teething rattles, a small pottery cat bought for £2 and worth £5,000, and a rare Anglo-Saxon ring raked up with the hedge clippings.
