AN Antiques Roadshow guest was floored to discover that an old TV script given to him by his grandfather was worth a fortune.<\/p>\n

The crowd were shocked as expert Chris Yeo revealed the mammoth value of a rare and authentic 1963 Doctor Who script.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Most people have received special trinkets from their grandparents, but none quite as valuable as the one given to this man who kept the delicate item in his filing cabinet.<\/p>\n

In a recent episode of BBC's Antiques Roadshow, a man presented 20th-century design and craft specialist Chris with an original script from the science fiction TV series <\/p>\n

The man, who is a dedicated Doctor Who fan, explained to Chris how he got a hold of the "rare" script, which featured actor William Hartnell as the first portrayal of the famous character.<\/p>\n

While standing in EastEnders famous Albert square, he said: "It was given to me by my grandfather. I suppose I was about eight.<\/p>\n

"Grandad worked for a building company, and William Hartnell had just moved out of his cottage in Mayfield, and [the script] was in the detritus that was being thrown out during the refurbishment of the cottage.<\/p>\n

"Grandad gave it to me because I was and still am an avid Doctor Who viewer."<\/p>\n

The antique expert then noted that the script still had blue pen annotations by William Hartnell himself and believed it was an authentic piece.<\/p>\n

The man admitted: "It [the script] has stayed with me as I've moved around the country, and it's always something that I've wanted to know a little bit more about it."\u00a0<\/p>\n

His wish was fulfilled when Chris unmasked one significant feature of the script.<\/p>\n

Chris replied: "One thing you hadn't realised is that this isn't any old Doctor Who story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"This is a script for the very first Doctor Who story in 1963."<\/p>\n

Chris told the guest just how slim the chances of the owner getting his hands on the first script were as he continued: "He [William Hartnell] was in 30 stories.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"He could have left 30 scripts in that house, it just so happens that he left the first story.<\/p>\n

"This is the DNA of Doctor Who. It's the genesis of the program, a very, very important thing."<\/p>\n

Chris told the man that some show fans would "give their eyeteeth" to get their hands on the unique script and valued it anywhere between \u00a35,000 to \u00a37,000.<\/p>\n

The whooping valuation shocked the owner, and the crowd audibly gasped in the background.<\/p>\n

The guest laughed: "What!? Oh, my dear! It's not going back and sitting in a file."\u00a0<\/p>\n
