Antiques Roadshow guest is speechless

The Beatles returned to the BBC on Sunday evening, at least in a manner of speaking, after the original pencil drawing of their first band logo made an appearance on Antiques Roadshow.

Expert Mark Hill was visibly stunned upon discovering the drawings had been created for one of Ringo Starr's drums in 1962, shortly before band became one the biggest and most successful groups of all time.

Filming Sunday's episode from Sefton Park House in Liverpool, the band's home city, Hill was given a potted history of the artwork from their owner, a retired signwriter who knew band-members John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison before they signed their first record deal.
