IT is only three months since the Antiques Roadshow rolled out of Selby. But the time has come to return to the attic in search of family heirlooms with more financial than sentimental value.

Omnipresent television personality Carol Vorderman is keen to visit North Yorkshire as part of her Find A Fortune series. But to bask in Carol's presence we must entice her up here with examples of fine furniture and gorgeous gems.

In return, she pledges to find the lucky owners a fortune. It seems a fair deal, particularly if Carol promises not to bring Countdown partner Richard Whiteley along with her.
