TV personality David Dickinson and his team of antique experts descended on St Albans this weekend to film an episode of a hit TV show.

Residents had the opportunity to take their treasured possessions to Marlborough Technology College on Saturday to be valued for ITV’s Dickinson’s Real Deal. The crew are currently filming the ninth series of the show.

Participants put their antiques in front of an expert who can offer them a price.

The person can then accept the offer and leave with the cash, or gamble and take the item to auction with the hope of getting more money.
