Antiques Roadshow guest speechless as items he saved from skip worth £250,000
Antiques Roadshow fans were left amazed as one guest was told his collection of items he saved from a skip were worth an eye-watering amount of money Antiques Roadshow fans were left in awe during Sunday's episode at Clissold Park, Stoke Newington, as a savvy guest discovered the astonishing value of a collection he rescued from a skip. The episode featured a remarkable find when a man brought in an archive belonging to renowned designer Althea McNish, who emigrated from Trinidad in the 1950s and became a titan of fashion and textile design. Expert Ronnie Archer-Morgan was visibly impressed by the "treasure trove" of McNish's work that the guest had salvaged, which included pieces designed for prestigious clients like Liberty, Christian Dior, and even the Royal Family. Recounting his lucky encounter with the items in December 2020, the guest said: "2020, December, builders were throwing stuff away. I was a cheeky chappie, asked them if I could have a look, buy some bits and bobs, done a deal." Expert Ronnie then highlighted McNish's significant impact on British post-war textile design, noting her vibrant contributions that brightened up Britain's shores with the essence of Trinidadian colour during a dreary post-war period, reports the Express. Ronnie from Antiques Roadshow then left the guest utterly gobsmacked after valuing their collection at a staggering sum. "I'd like to try and value this, I know that half a square metre of certain of her designs can be £2,500 or a textile design itself can be that sort of money. "From what you've told me and what you've described and what I know, I think this archive that you've brought to us here is worth in excess of £250,000... in excess of and it needs to be calculated." The owner was visibly shocked, expressing their amazement: "That's blown me away! It's just been an incredible journey of learning and knowledge, I've loved every minute." They gratefully added: "Thank you, you've made my day, honestly!" to which Ronnie responded with equal enthusiasm: "Well, you've made mine too!" Social media buzzed with excitement over the episode, with one Twitter, now X, user exclaiming: "First time I've heard of Althea McNish, but this collection seems amazing, #AntiquesRoadshow" and another chiming in: "Hope it can be properly archived/ displayed." Another tweet read: "Incredible valuation of £250000 for the Althea McNish archive on the #AntiquesRoadshow." Catch more surprising discoveries on Antiques Roadshow, airing Sundays at 8pm on BBC One.

Blur's Damon Albarn admits Oasis 'won battle' as he admits defeat amid rivarly
Damon Albarn has admitted Oasis won their long-standing Britpop rivalry, as the band's 2025 reunion tour draws incredible crowds and praise Blur frontman Damon Albarn has acknowledged Oasis as the ultimate winners of the long-standing Britpop rivalry, admitting their ongoing reunion tour has firmly placed them back at the top of the music scene. Speaking about Oasis' epic comeback, Albarn, 57, reflected on the decades-old competition that defined 1990s British music. 'Well, it was obvious, wasn't it?' he said. 'I think we can officially say that Oasis won the battle, the war, the campaign, everything.' Although Blur famously beat Oasis in the 1995 chart battle with their single Country House, Albarn now believes Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel have claimed the long-term victory. 'They are the winners. They take first place,' he added. 'In the face of such overwhelming evidence, I am happy to accept and concede defeat. It's their summer and God bless them. I hope everyone has a wonderful time but I'm going to be in a very, very different place.' Blur recently released To The End, a documentary chronicling their 2023 reunion and comeback album The Ballad of Darren. They also played two major shows at London's Wembley Stadium last summer. However, Albarn conceded that those performances are being eclipsed by Oasis's current success. 'My two-night stint at Wembley will be dwarfed by their seven,' he told The Sun. Oasis kicked off their highly anticipated Oasis Live '25 reunion tour last weekend with two sold-out nights at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. The band returned to their hometown of Manchester on July 11 for the first of five major outdoor shows at Heaton Park, which was their first concert in the city since 2009. Thousands of fans queued at the gates from the early morning hours, with some travelling from as far as Australia and South Korea to witness the historic performance. The show attracted over 80,000 attendees and featured some of the largest on-stage screens ever used in a UK concert. One emotional moment from the Manchester concert has since gone viral on social media. A video captured a group of concertgoers lifting a disabled fan named Daniel above the crowd so he could see the stage. He attended the show with his sister Jemma, but was unable to get accessible tickets. A woman who shared the video on TikTok wrote: 'This is Daniel – he went to night one of @Oasis with his brilliant sister Jemma… A lady got our attention and started asking around to see who could help – she was brilliant!' She added: 'This was Daniel's first concert, he had a fantastic time. Music brought everyone together once again.' Oasis's return marks their first tour in two decades and has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm, as fans around the world celebrate the band's long-awaited comeback as they belt out their classic songs including Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger.
