A visit to the Prop Gallery website is an eye-opening experience... and a wallet-opening one too.
Among the semi-priceless treasures from the worlds of film and TV on sale here is a pair of Walter White's marigolds (cost: £675), an animatronic dog from Doctor Who (cost: £6,995) a Ghostface mask from Scream 4 (cost: £5,995) and the far scarier mask of Henry the steam engine from the kids TV show, Thomas and Friends (cost: £2,745 + the ability to sleep ever again).
Our eye was drawn to one particular prop, namely a bottle of Peckham Spring Water. If that rings a bell, we'll remind you of the 1992 Christmas special of Only Fools and Horses, Mother Nature's Son, in which Del Boy and Rodney fill up empty bottles with tap water from their flat, passing it off as expensive mineral water for yuppies.
A number of bottles appeared in the episode (see above), and the one for sale is, as Del Boy might say, in good nick — complete with a label extolling its virtues as "the purest Peckham spring water, drawn from an ancient natural source [the Thames] discovered by returning Crusaders 800 years ago." It also still appears to be filled, although we wouldn't recommend drinking it.
As for the price for one of these bottles? £14,995. Del Boy would be proud.
