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.”
