JR's Dallas memorabilia auction

Larry Hagman - better known as the larger-than-life, money-obsessed JR Ewing from Dallas - is holding an auction in Los Angeles to sell off hundreds of his possessions.

The actor says that he is downsizing and putting his vast collection of memorabillia, which includes cowboy hats and original scripts for Dallas, up for auction.

Mr Hagman gave the BBC's Peter Bowes an exclusive preview at Julien's Auction house in Beverly Hills ahead of the sale on Saturday.
