Antiques Roadshow makes £1m find Empty Antiques Roadshow makes £1m find

The first £1m object has been valued on the Antiques Roadshow - but the item is being kept a closely-guarded secret until broadcast.
Fine art expert Philip Mould was the one to break the news to the owner during the recording of the BBC show at The Sage in Gateshead.
Although the owner knew it was valuable they were still left shocked.
The episode, presented by Fiona Bruce, will be screened on BBC One at 1915 GMT on Sunday.
Despite its massive valuation, the owner has said they are unlikely to sell the piece.
Mr Mould said: "It's a great thrill to me that something produced in the last 15 years has broken the record for the most valuable item to ever have been on the show."
The programme's previous most expensive valuation had been a collection of silverware which appeared in 2007.
Recently a vase bought at a car boot sale in Dumfries for £1 and identified by Antiques Roadshow experts as valuable Feuilles Fougeres sold at auction for £32,450.
The Antiques Roadshow has seen a resurgence in viewing figures of late, with nearly nine million now tuning in on a Sunday evening since Fiona Bruce took over this year. (from BBC News)
