A bowler hat from Bond film Goldfinger was valued at £30,000 on Antiques Roadshow - years after it was given away by Pinewood Studios.
Antiques expert Marc Allum said he was "shaking with excitement" as an "iconic" collection of 007 memorabilia - including a bowler hat worn by villain Oddjob in the 1964 movie - was brought in for valuation on Sunday's show.

The man who brought the bowler hat onto the popular BBC show for valuation explained how his brother-in-law was a driver for Aston Martin and would take the vehicles back and forth to Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath for filming - and even transported Sean Connery.
He asked Pinewood if he could take the hat as a souvenir - but they would not allow it to be taken out without first removing its steel rim.

A famous scene from Goldfinger sees Oddjob taking off his bowler hat and spinning it towards a statue - knocking its head off.
On Sunday night's show Marc valued the hat at between £20,000 and £30,000 - even though it had become worn and battered over the years.
The owner of the hat said: “As a young lad, everybody wanted to throw the Oddjob hat. And, if you look at it, everybody did throw the hat because it’s absolutely in pieces.
"Because it didn’t have the steel in it any more, whenever it landed it was damaged.”
