Fiona Bruce and the team visit Althorp in Northamptonshire, once the home of Princess Diana. Among the items under scrutiny are a valuable writing desk found in a coal shed, a sword that fought in the English Civil War, and an important painting that was found on a tip.

I’m half way through and already thinking it’s the best episode ever. I love the letter to the Winnie The Pooh club. 💖

Nice to see Phillip and Fiona before fake or fortune with a rare Homer Winslow

Hope the chap who owns the walnut cabinet is able to treat the woodworm on the base of this remarkable piece of surviving furniture!

I so loved him saying "god heavens" to the price and keep it completly together except for a littlelicking of the tongue over his inner lips - fabulous...

The Homer Winslow painting has its own Fake or Fortune? episode.

[@mariuszsacharz1841]

Beautiful and normal.

OMG I can't believe she just put two cups of tea down beside that painting!! I spill my tea so often that her doing that so casually totally freaked me out. Lol. Drama on the road show.

Lord Spencer's picture - the woman at the harpsichord was more scary to me than the spectral nanny. Nanny seemed to be on the verge of smiling. The girl had a thousand yard stare.

[@Mollineaux]

What a shame that having rescued the Winslow Homer from a tip, and eventually putting it into a sale in the US (New York?) as advised, someone appeared, and the sale was stopped, as they claimed to be the rightful owners, saying it had been stolen from their family's house prior to it being found in a tip. It was all extremely questionable(theft not reported to police?) & if the family hadn't taken it to the Antiques Road Show, but done their own investigation, they would, justifiably in my view, have received the funds from a sale.

[@pamelaspooner7183]

Heartbreaking and so very unfair. It was indisputably discarded.

Yes have seen that 🫣 Blakes👎🏻 Value is up to 250.000$ Still not sold today😳 Blakes should be Happy to get 25-30% themself - But those greedy Americans 🫣Want 70-75%… 🤢 Now in the vault of Christie’s 😵‍💫

Yes I would love to know what the end result was.

In the Fake show they never showed the other images thrown away with the Homer. I always thought the “owners” who reclaimed it were blatant liars but now I’m sure of it. Those pictures all ended up in the trash because the liars threw them out. No one would steal those other pictures. That man and his family were bullied into giving back items which were rightfully theirs. Shame on the wealthy family of liars. Horrible people.

[@SimonLloydGuitar]

The son just happened to be 'on holiday' in NYC the day of the auction...Vile behaviour from that family.

[@lesleyhetherington8060]

A certain phrase I remember from my childhood should have been used for this painting: “finders keepers, losers weepers” . Awful for the guy who found it.

[@bedlamitejester]

Any chance you've got Flog It Season 10 episode 35? Can't find it anywhere

[@jackseward7779]

Very strange for AR UK. Lord Spencer presented a purported gift of a Napoleon statue to his family. The evaluator devoted 95% of his assessment to the marble base but nearly nothing to the statuette itself. Markings? Age? Artist? Composition?

[@curiousone6129]

Weird spooky stare from the guy in the yellow shirt behind on experts right.

[@Joshua-mv3mv]

when ?

[@conniekiers9554]

I saw the story of the Winslow Homer painting on the Fake or Fortune program with Fiona and Philip...and some guy claimed it was his and the sale at the auction house was stopped, they lost the painting and any money they might have made from the sale..the people who claimed that it eas their painting could have at least given them a reward...but nope...seems like a miscarriage when a woman who could have used the money was denied it because a rich person said that it was his

[@Rom23-c1w]

Some story behind that watercolour.

[@jenwilliams1287]

Alltrup, Fiona.

Both versions acceptable, according to Lord Spencer.

I was thinking exactly same thing

[@NubianGoat]

I'm guessing that should be worth 200 to 400 pounds but crapy 1000 pounds

[@billyhuckaby-m8u]

The piano player portrait is NOT scary at all!

[@SimonLloydGuitar]

The infamous Homer painting...The way that the gentleman was treated was disgusting.

[@NubianGoat]

That is worth about 15,000 to 20,000 pounds . I m guessing pure walnut. Crap 40 ,000 to 60,000 pounds. Way off

[@NubianGoat]

Midevil so I'm guessing maybe worth 5,000 to 10,000 pounds auction. Crap way off again
