    Seems amazing that the pisspot was so cheap.
    Exotic, antique, fairly good nick, decent enough aspect... yet no-one wants such things. But enough about me...:(

    She is grim. Blue bloke probably doesn't realise he can leave her.

    This is the stuff of dreams says Eric as the camera pans to Blue Bird. No, it's the stuff of nightmares

    Sarky sources a superb BB. Not an obvious Bargain but living proof that he knows his stuff.

    Auntie Liz ia always entertaining.

    Despite the restricted circumstances there was enough meat on the bones of this episode to make a tasty meal.

    Fark me someone has been on the rampage with a Samurai sword in a residential street in Hainault, NE London. Not exactly a location of heaving crime. Terrible.

    We had quite a chinwag about this episode in Sep 2023, I will bring it forth .........

    Reg:
    BOO I'm your man says Foghorn. The loud tartan Eddie Izzard then?

    She's TOO LOUD already.

    There will be dents on that after you've bashed it on the cabinet.

    Yer, sit on that scent bottle. Ouch.

    Makes's a noise. That's anything if you bash it, smash it or drop it.

    Auntie Liz talking about paper knives.

    I think I know how a paper knife works, but some of the daytime audience will be too thick to work it out.

    Knives to prise the Norfolk Skinflints away from their money.

    Rude engraved Japanese paper knives.

    Harefield:
    Stacey - BH's answer to Frankie Howerd!

    Reg:
    To be played by David Walliams in a future BH-themed drama, "What's hiding in my Attic?"

    Some real tat bought today. Norfolk Auction too. Disaster predicted.

    Foghorn to stress test items by shouting at them.

    Auntie Liz, so should be a fun valuation.

    Blues have more chance than Reds but that's not saying much.

    First Foghorn item. 1 note Yorkshire loss. Hmmmmm. Not looking good.

    Blimey a profit on the scent bottle.

    Loss on the expensive necklace.

    Another clunking Foghorn BB Dud.

    -46 could be a lot worse.

    Good start for the Blues.

    Oh dear, it starts to go downhill.

    Piss pot doing badly.

    Sarky overspent on that BB bottle? Probably.

    Moog:
    Literally believe that 'lota,' as it was labelled, is an Indian vessel for washing your arse.

    Reg:
    Or Giant Balti Dish/Pot.

    No, it's a 50 note profit so the Blues end up on +7.

    A profit in Niggardly Norfolk. A result.

    Moog:
    Anyone else feel that Lusty Liz is a bit too fast with the Gavel? I'm sure there could be another bid or two if she gave it a few more seconds each time.

    Harefield:
    Difficult to say, these ones where they filmed during the lurgy when they had private viewings around antiques centres and on-line only auctions are bit awkward to assess.

    Reg:
    This is Norfolk, prising the coins from the miser's grasp is near on impossible.

    Moog:
    See, she was a whisker away from bringing down the Gavel at 95 for Sarky's BB, ended up going for 130.

    Reg:
    Creative in the post-prod editing suite to generate some tension. I don't think these are always in real time otherwise it would take a lot longer.

    OT78:
    They weren't creative enough!

    Absolute tedium today.
    Ugly boring people; boring ugly lots.

    tbf...Did enjoy Auntie showing Windowlicking Community viewers how a knife works... 'you see? it cuts...'

    tomorrow, Uncle Eric teaches us about the dangers of 'running with scissors'

    Reg:
    Blue Bird finds out that the 7 quid she has just won is to be collected from Sarky's attic later.

    Well done one and all! Delighted to be part of this wonderful community! Two for £78! thats tory inflation for you. I can remember them giving this wonderful stuff out as prizes on fairground stalls when I was just about a teenager in the 70s (by just about a teenager I mean the 13 end of the scale not the 19 end). Would be subject to "challenge 25" nowadays, bl00dy snowflake generation.

    Re-up from last September with additions.
    BBC approved preamble:
    Kings Lynn 4
    Series 59
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0010bqt
    Eric Knowles is in Kings Lynn with experts Caroline Hawley and Mark Stacey and the teams. Eric is shown a unique collection of paperknives before they go under the hammer.

    The Translation:
    Uncle Former Comrade Eric has become a Soviet-style non-person, packed off to the Covid Gulag that is Tsar's Lynn for the extremely serious crime of high treason to hair fashion for his long Covid Barnet, or should that be Hairski. This most notorious of camps under the command of Camp Commandant, quite literally, Sarky Marky, and the shouting and blistering presence of Chief Box-Guard Jericho Bawley wearing her visually harsh Stained Ur-in-al Mountain Tartar-n Uniform with extra big cap for atomic amplification. Here he will be humiliated trying to sort and organise items of complete rubbish, his fate dangling by a thread between life and death, all depending if an overall profit or loss is made. Commissar Auntie Liz will be taking the efficient exchange of goods in State Auction Room no 345, once I caught a fish alive, and then had to immediately eat it raw or starve, mutters Eric. Perhaps he will find The Way Back (Google it).

    The Staff:
    [Gaffer] Uncle Eric Knowles, sausage gobbler
    [Red Team Expert] Caroline Gawd Blindus Hawley, premiering an exclusive from her Cane Toadstool Flashing Lights range
    [Blue Team Expert] Sarky Marky Stacey, the sleazy, slurry somnambulist, he has been known to enjoy a pansy, particularly after dark, in his attic.
    [Auctioneer] Elizabeth Talbot, sounds like and looks like a Jane Austen extra. Auntie Liz.
    [Auction Location] TW Gaze, Diss, Norfolk twinned with Datt in Germany
    [Miserlin Rating] Unlisted

    [​IMG][​IMG]

    The Teams:
    [Red Team] Admin assistant Wifey and Fitness instructor Hubby
    (Challenge: Scent related)
    [Blue Team] Groundwork manager Hubby and Freelance artist Wifey, yes she is grim, what mild-mannered hubby had to endure during Lockdown.
    (Challenge: Makes a noise)

    The Shopping:
    Reds: Murano glass vase (23) OK, 1906 London silver topped scent bottle (22 Challenge) very fair, David Andersen white enamel necklace (140) ouch and ooff.
    Blues: Brass gavel (9 Challenge) good, Art Deco hand-painted bronze golden pheasant on a plinth (95) OK, Antique 19th Century brass holy water pot (42) OK.

    The Distraction:
    Uncle Eric is shown a unique collection of paper knives before they go under the hammer. Afterwards, the battered knives are worth next to nothing such is the idiocy of the folk in Norfolk.

    [​IMG]

    The Auction:
    Reds: Murano glass vase (1 note Yorkshire loss), 1906 London silver topped scent bottle (profit), David Andersen white enamel necklace (large loss).
    Foghorn's BB is a Boxed pair of Birmingham 1910 silver menu holders (80), 40-60, 65. A clunking Jericho Dud.

    [​IMG][​IMG]

    Blues: Brass gavel (small profit), Art Deco hand-painted bronze golden pheasant on a plinth (largish loss), Antique 19th Century brass holy water pot (loss).
    Sarky's BB is a a Boxed Victorian silver-topped clear glass scent bottle (80), 30-50, 130. Superb work Sarky. Attic celebrations later with your current victim.

    [​IMG][​IMG]

    The Aftermath:
    The WhereAreWe Warehouse Aniques Centre with poor discounting. 2 fussy teams. Internet only Auction with Auntie Liz, who's great but has to try and get income from the tightest of tight-arse counties, Yorkshire and Scotland, the only places worse. Portents not good. Foghorn, booming I'M YOUR MAN, luckily without a Koch in hand, when meeting her interns, more than likely disorientating them even more than when they espied her revolting outfit, making them extreme ditherers. This resulted in them rushing to buy their big spend item with only 20 secs to go and with Jericho shouting at them as the clock ticked down. No time for haggling a discount, so they had to pay full price. Poor management from Jericho. The 1 GBP Yorkshire loss of the glass vase was countered with a profit on the scent bottle, but their fate was sealed with the stonking loss on the heavily overpriced Scandi necklace. Foghorn thought she was being clever with her BB, but she had overpaid for it and it made another loss. So, Reds end up with a loss of 46, which was about right for a bunch of unexciting tat. Sarky's Blues were much clearer about what they liked and wanted but after a profit on the cheap gavel, there were losses on the Art Deco bird, phesant not naked cavorting ladies, and the brass pisspot. However, Sarky earned his corn with an excellent BB acquisition, the quality boxed Victorian scent bottle sold for 130 making a 50 note profit and the Blues end in the Black to the tune of 7 notes. A great result from Niggardly Norfolk. A reasonable episode worth watching for the always entertaining Auntie Liz and Sarky providing the requisite amusement.

    [​IMG][​IMG]

    The Hi-Kick:
    Indoor Covid longhair diagonal special. I'M YOUR MAN Foghorn is up so early and high she almost sticks her foot down her gaping gullet yet again. Everyone else hits par or beyond with excellent coordination. Yes, YES!!

    Look what 78 p would buy you in 1973, the "vintage" of said tipple.

    5 and a half pints of draught lager.

    12 pints of milk.

    10 litres of diesel.

    You just needed a mate who looks alot older. Very handy in my teenage years for booze, fags, literature etc. I had a mate who'd easily got in and seen all the Mary Millington films, well in versions they were allowed to show, before he hit 15/16 and got himself a real girlfriend.

    The sheer cost of things these days is a more likely deterrent.

    Urgh, item for a ManCave.

    Blue daughter doesn't think it will make a profit at 125.

    Roo applies her woolly thumbscrews.

    Dalek Bunker Auction.

    Plunger well oiled and ready for Action.

    Hip flask. We'll do it he says.

    Baby Phil. LOL. OK, right ball park.

    Royal Doulton cat and mouse. Yup. He's happy.

    The Ring is OK, it'll be close he says.

    The Knight. He things it will be the surprise. 15-25. He snaps his thigh in frustration. It really is a bit of nonsense.

    Boring basic bowl. He howls in disappointment. LOL.

    Stand by for entertainment.

    Hip flask flies. 45 profit. Loads of barking and arm flinging,

    Phil doll makes a tenner.

    GG time for Reds?

    Yup profit for the cat.

    Red Bird cackles in delight. We'll allow her that.

    Muttley BB is a swing-framed toilet mirror. Brown furniture. LOL.

    On reflection is it a good buy. Very good Tash.

    Dalek likes it. He's done well he says.

    Yup a Grand Slam.

    Like shelling peas says Muttley.

    65 notes overall profit and a GG.

    Here we go. Now is the time.

    Half-eternity ring. Wipes face. GG evaporates.

    Knight Time. 125 paid. Up it goes. The Dalek getting very excited. 400, 420, 500!!!!!

    520 sold. 395 profit!!!!!!!!

    No wonder they screech.

    Silver bowl 20 profit.

    415 so far.

    Roo's BB are a pair of heavy wall pockets. 24 notes. Bargain.

    Dalek likes them. OK. He likes the price.

    More profit, they soar to 60 notes. 36 profit.

    Their total is 451 notes. Amazing. Roo demonstrates her worth in one episode.

    In previous episodes from this place. The Knight has been perused before so it was on Roo's radar.

    Roo is our lucky charm.

    Fantastic episode. One of the Classics.

    This was on BH discussion radar last September.

    Just a quick note. That Pete Walker boxet from 88Films is due out this June. Marvellous.

    Reg:
    [wfcmoog said: Thunderer whistles are ten a penny. Mass produced and mass retained. Worth less than a quid a pop I imagine.]

    Depends whose lips have been around them. I imagine the one for the 1966 World Cup Final would command a pretty penny, particularly if Pretty Penny had been blowing on it (Penny Irving in this case straight from Young Mister Grace's office).

    [​IMG]

    That's interesting. 88Films are due to release a box set of Pete Walker films including House of Whipcord. Some great titles there.

    [​IMG]

    OT78:

    vg!
    TPix must have piqued interest. They have shown three of those titles this year. But they make you pang for DVD quality. Hey presto...

    Reg:
    2K/4K restorations on Blu-Ray.

    Flesh and Blood Show also has a 3D-segment, which I've never seen work properly work on previous releases.

    OT78:
    Imagining the peak-age Jenny Hanley stripping in mega-HD/3D...

    :oops:

    Eight for a wish,

    Nine for a kiss,

    Ten for a bird,

    You must not miss.

    Reg:
    An old mate went to one of the Euro Fests they had in London in the 90s. They were showing The Flesh and Blood Show on the big screen, including the last reel 3D-bit and supplied the requisite red and green glasses. He was very involved in the Cult Film Circuit in London as he was the owner of the Psychotronic Shop in Camden, so found himself sat with Spanish Horror legend Paul Naschy for the screening. Both donned the 3D glasses when prompted by the on-screen instruction for the film's grisly finale. Both squinted at the screen to see the spatial separation. Both turned to their nearest-neighbour to shrug shoulders, roll eyeballs, and shake heads at the complete lack of 3D-ness. Good to see horror legends have a good sense of humour.

    Tash is "On The Buses". Nice.

    I have a feeling this is one of those Classic episodes. Don't miss this one!!!!!

    Scary Sarky-style doll.

    Creepy Toby jug.

    Grumpy Muttley.

    Roo has discovered THE ITEM. Prepare for scenes.

    They almost didn't go with it.

    Creepy Phil Doll. LOL.

    Midget coach. Are you allowed to say that these days?

    Where are the Clippies?

    Tash has a front-zip quick release top. Nice.

    The Knight is a bit of nonsense says the Dalek. LOL

    Here we go. Get ready.

    Red Bird cackles in delight.

    Golden Gavel.

    Profits on everything.

    Blues up. Get ready.

    The squealing can be excused.

    Absolute scenes. Wow. Amazing.

    OT78:
    The Dead Ringers Laura Kuenssberg has stolen Reg's log-in.

    Tbf, that suit of armour justifies such euphoria

    midget coach does 60mph. fab. want it.
    What a great collection/interval.

    And what an episode!

    iirc, Winterton called that suit "a bit of nonsense" :D

    This past BH week or so has been epic.
    Awful / great / historic / sexy / disastrous / comical ..
    All human life is here

    Reg:
    Record Breaking. Where are the creepy McWhirter Twins?

    OT78:
    One is in bits, embedded with irish bullets, iirc?

    TV critics could be very harsh in the 70s.

    Reg:
    Even for the 70s, they had some very unpleasant right-wing views and opinions.

    OT78:
    iirc, Ross was a very hard-right undeclared SIS operative.
    He regarded the mainland Irish as second-class subjects, demanded the death penalty for 'terrorists', and had offered huge bounties for the capture of those that later shot him.
    The biter bit?

    Didn't the other one later start mouthfoaming for UKIP et al?

    Even as a child, I was amazed they were on kids telly. Very suspect coves.

    yes, served bravely during a world war - but then so did Hitler...

    Reg:
    Great to see the episode start with some Pussy Stroking and Inspector Clouseau's hat, which has pride of place in this Antique Centre, latterly purchased by Wrexham FC's Ben Foster upon promotion to the Football League.

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    The lovely Roo shows us her lovely pair.

    [​IMG]

    Moog:
    Remarkable show today. Huge profits. Who'd have watched the Reds romp home with a Golden Gavel and then put money on the Blues beating them by nearly 400 quid!?

    Reg:
    Golden Gavel or nearly 500 notes and the BH record for the biggest win? Difficult win. A few dozen have won GGs but very few hold the record for the biggest total. Even when it gets eventually beaten you will be a former record holder and have 450 notes to spaff.

    Moog:
    I'd probably still take the GG over the win. No losers today for sure

    OT78:
    gah.
    this is like one of those philosophical Qs they throw at you in university/job interviews...daytime telly's Sophie's Choice:

    "Golden Gavel - or nearly 500 notes and the BH record for the biggest win?"

    even Isaiah Berlin would have sleepless nights over that

    BBC approved preamble:
    Wrexham 16
    Series 59
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00104c0
    Natasha Raskin Sharp is in Wrexham with experts Roo Irvine and Philip Serrell and the teams, before they all head to Lichfield for today’s auction. Natasha also meets the man who has the most toy buses on the planet.

    The Translation:
    It's another Post-Covid Apocalypse, out of the bunker blinking in the sunlight, special from Wrexham. So, it's Strict Natasha, not Tight Titty Top Tash, and the always lovely Roo, 2 people you wouldn't mind being bubbled with for an extended stay of playing hunt, then date and finally sell the thimble, and Muttley, one person you definitely wouldn't want to be holed up with. Have you seen the state of his Auction Room sign! There'll be a live link to the Skaro Bunker with D1ckie Dalek and his Ogron phone slaves, for plenty of Auction barking and arm slinging. Is there something special in the air? Or is it just scent of Serrell!

    The Staff:
    [Gaffer] Strict Natasha Raskin Sharp, Glasgow Southside enforcer
    [Red Team Expert] Philip Muttley Serrell avec scarf de tat et pull-over de moth
    [Blue Team Expert] Delightful Roo Irvine, full of Eastern Promise
    [Auctioneer] Richard Dalek Winterton, the hirsute hammerer.
    [Auction Location] Skaro aka Lichfield
    [Miserlin Rating] Unlisted

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    The Teams:
    [Red Team] Environmental advisor Hubby and occupational therapist Wife, both have long work titles, so both have unimportant jobs
    (Challenge: silver to wear or carry)
    [Blue Team] Mother doctor and student daughter.
    (Challenge: silver for the dinner table)

    The Shopping:
    Reds: Birmingham silver Oxford hip flask (75 Challenge) OK, Vintage Scary Sailor doll (15) OK, Royal Doulton cat and mouse (20) OK.
    Blues: 9ct gold and diamond ring (45) OK, Rusty suit of armour knight (125) oof yet the Dalek likes, Crystal glass and silver (80 Challenge) ooff.

    The Distraction:
    Strict Natasha also meets the man who has the most toy buses on the planet. When she arrives to meet "Geoff" this obsessive collector she is asked if she doesn't mind changing into this 1970s style bus conductress uniform, with extra-tight titty top and super short skirt. She smells a rat, which is quite possible as the room containing the paraphenalia looks like it's never been cleaned. For the sake of the programme segment, she agrees and his round glasses instantly steam up. He dashes off to get the video equipment and the music starts to play, it's a mash-up between the On The Buses theme tune and that famous eponymously titled song by David Rose and his Orchestra. She smells yet another rat. Close your eyes and think of Scotland. Time to get that bus out. Phwooar Clippies!!

    [​IMG]

    The Auction:
    Reds: Birmingham silver Oxford hip flask (good profit), Vintage Scary Sailor doll (profit) GG?, Royal Doulton cat and mouse (small profit). Yes, Golden gavel.
    Muttley's BB is Victorian swing-frame toilet mirror (35), 30-50, 40. Another profit, top work Phil.

    [​IMG]

    Blues: 9ct gold and diamond ring (evens stevens), Rusty suit of armour knight (125 bought, 520 sold, 395 profit), Crystal glass and silver (good profit).
    Roos's BB are a pair of Art Nouveau-style wall pockets (24), 30-40, 60. Another excellent profit.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG][​IMG]

    The Aftermath:
    A classic episode. It started off with some pussy stroking and then things got even better. Both Challenges were for silver items. Werewolves beware. A D1ckie Dalek Auction. He was really loving it, barking and swinging his arm. Serrell on good hangdog form, particularly regarding the hilariously creepy doll named Phil, Ha! An early post-Covid episode but that didn't put a halt to the proceedings or surprises. Just depends on the people involved and the items that are found and acquired. Phil's Red Team, with a Real cackling Red Bird with a squeaky voice, who despite his dismissive attitude actually guided his team well, as all the items made profits, so a nice shiny Golden Gavel was on its way to the team, and his BB of a Knackered Victorian swing-frame toilet mirror, a Serrell brown furniture special, made it profits all round and 65 quid to take home. Top work. This was good, but what happened next was the stuff of BB legend. The World's finest portrait painter will now have to be employed to capture the metal Knight in all it's rusty glory and the scenes of total disbelief as BH Records were truly smashed. Roo's Blues started innocently enough with a nice gold and diamond ring which wiped it's face, the only item today not to make a profit, then absolute total paydirt was hit with the Rusty Metal Knight, which now probably sits pride of place in some bloke's nag-free living space, while his other half moans about how much he spent on that rusting piece of rubbish. Bought for 125 notes, it sold for 520 quiddies, a huge 395 profit. No wonder the Dalek's arms were almost flying out of their sockets, as he barked bids beyond belief. The Mother and Daughter shrieked in disbelief, pity the poor neighbours of student daughter as she celebrates back at her place of study. The squeaking and squawking were forgiven, Tash was so genuinely shocked that she had to sit down and Roo, stood stunned in total disbelief as the massive profit achieved fully sunk in. The Blues were umming and ahhing over this and the bowl, which also made a decent profit, until the sensible Mother said why don't they have both items. Such a good decision. It was then left to Roo to apply a juicy cherry on top of the cake with her excellent wall pocket BB. The overall total was a new BH record of 451 notes, they also bagged the second best profit ever on a single item 395, and both teams contributed to a record combined profit of 516 GBP. To cap it all, the Blues also came within a rusty gnat's chuff of a Golden Gavel. So, the big question. What would you rather have, the glory of a Golden gavel or the glory of the biggest ever overall profit. This is the occasion when Roo earned her stripes. Her best ever Knight she says. Her best ever night is a story for another day post-watershed.

    The Hi-Kick:
    Outdoor Covid diagonal on uneven grass. Everyone hits par, even Muttley. Blue Daughter and Red Bird gives us impressive head kicks. Strict Natasha shows us a super Growling head kick with Roo being too close to the camera to only give us a sneaky taste of what might have been. One of the best seen outdoors. Yes, YES!!

    Absolute proof that even the Covid restrictive aftermath episodes can still deliver in spades, so long as you have the right contestants, experts, Auctioneer and Auction location. Everything just seemed to align today. Superb finishing Hi-Kick too. Great entertainment all round.

    I even alerted my mother to this one.

    Even the distraction was jawdroppingly fab.

    The Steamstress is going to pop off. Too late I already have. The heavy balls did it for me.

    Nelson's column gets even taller in the gaze of the Princess.

    Catherine makes a lusty comment about things being brought out of Gentlemen's trouser pockets.

    @wfcmoog Catherine says she deserves cream.

    Gropey's Reds buy parasol handle, tache brush set, concrete lions.

    Trilly's Blues buy pendant, candlestick holder, and a butcher shop's pig.

    Plenty of Dirty Laughing.

    D1ckie Dalek's plunger is definitely up.

    Oh dear broken parasol holder. Plunger not quite so up.

    It's very cute she says. Yes you are.

    The Lions takes the Dalek's breath away while the Princess takes ours.

    I love it barks the Dalek. We certainly do.

    More Dirty Laughing.

    The pig make the Dalek's plunger sink.

    More Dirty Laughing.

    Auctioneers need to learn that crappy, tatty pieces of 'quirk' can fly. Lots of idiots with more money than sense, desperate to show off how they're a bit bonkers 'I've got a pig and a midget suit of armour, me'
