Show idea – Antiques Roadshow: Gaza Strip

This would be just like the British and American versions, only of course shot in the title location.

Typical scene:

Farmer: I found this in my goat pasture. I’m not sure what it is. Maybe a warhead?

Appraiser: Yes, this does in fact appear to be a warhead. Do you have any idea how long it was in your goat pasture?

Farmer: Not really. I found it after some of the goats dug it up. Is it valuable?

Appraiser: Normally my answer would be “no.” It’s actually a little hard to find a goat pasture that doesn’t have a warhead buried in it somewhere. However, if we turn this particular warhead over and inspect the bottom [camera zooms in as Appraiser turns the warhead over] we find a marking that indicates that this particular piece is in fact a nuclear warhead.

Farmer: Wow. So how much is it worth?

Appraiser: I’d be guessing, but probably somewhere between $300 and $10 million, depending on whom you sell it to.

Oh, and just in case the idea of a nuke ending up in a pasture sounds absurd (or that such an event would only happen in a place like Gaza), um, no.
