I'm a fan of Antiques Roadshow. The best moments happen when the experts tell an unassuming owner that their tchotchke was once owned by King Arthur/Ptolemy/Mendeleev and it dates back to before they were keeping track of days. In fact, it's so rare that we have to send you home with your own security detail to ensure your safety. Well, I don't think I've ever seen that last part – but if it were me holding on to Mendeleev's first draft of the Periodic Table of Elements I'd be looking over my shoulder more than once.
