　　Oliver: 哇哦，价值百万英镑的收藏，这可是对 Alan 这些年辛苦工作的最好肯定。

　　We've got two here for instance, David Bowie, it’s absolutely nothing like his signature. It bears no resemblance to his genuine signature whatsoever. This one Greta Garbo, something like that, if genuine, would be 5000 pounds upwards at least. It’s just certainly fake, it’s signed in felt tip pen.
