A BBC Antiques Roadshow guest was left gasping "oh goodness" after the ludicrous true value of her items was revealed. The guest was on the BBC show on Sunday May 21, as the episode aired from Kent.

The guest brought on some items linked to legendary British band The Beatles. Expert Clive Farahar analysed the autography from the band, which was on a BBC Top of the Pop call sheet from 1965.

"Four of the most famous signatures from the last half-century," Clive explained."There's Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. And this is dated Saturday 10th, April 1965."

"They sang the song, they performed it in front of the cameras with an empty studio and inserted it…" Clive said. The guest said: "And I (made them up). All four of them came in, they were wearing their new suits they were about to try out because they were about to go to America to do Shea Stadium."

The guest also brought in powder puffs she used on The Fab Four. "I’m going to have to ask who's is who's," Clive asked. She replied: "I’ve no idea. But the powder is still on them!"

"I can see! You can see… There's Beatles DNA here!" Clive told her. "Very often we have these on the show, and the signatures have been rushed. Or they’ve fallen off the page or something like that. But you’ve got four absolutely gold-plated signatures here, they couldn't be better!" Clive added

"You’ve got the four lovely powder puffs and then this great script here, which I think is rather fun," he added, as he revealed his long-awaited valuation - £4,000 to £6,000.

"Good heavens! Really?" the guest exclaimed. BBC Antiques Roadshow continues to air on BBC One and also on the BBC iPlayer.
