Antiques Roadshow expert Mark Hill was left laughing and joking with a guest who was given a staggering valuation for an old train ticket that she brought onto the show

An Antiques Roadshow guest was left in disbelief at the valuation of her old train ticket, playfully accusing expert Mark Hill of "winding" her up during the show's visit to Walthamstow Town Hall.

Upon his inquiry about the fare, she chuckled: "Got it cheap but not as cheap as this one." Puzzled, he asked: "Why do you call this cheap?" leading her to explain that it dated back to the era of "because that was bought a long, long time ago when they had pound shillings and pence." Mark humorously reacted to her story, saying: "Charming! So he sends you on an errand and basically only calls you when he wants to!"

"In 1844, it was quite a short-lived railway, it merged into the Midland Railway. So you effectively paid nothing for this. You inherited it. So if I was to say to you £1,000, what would you say?"
