Bargain Hunt

The wfcfcbh disco...

I have the the first 5 tracks for the setlist. Listen while watching the babes, or join in ..........

I'll go though all the animated GIFs I've created and see which additional ones are suitable.

 

This is all wrong. BBC encouraging deviancy.

 

The Princess is a Shropshire lass and shares some of her younger thoughts.

She's very wet.

The Blues go LARGE.

Muttley Auction. Oh dear.

Reds are Married Accountant and Engineer who met in a bar. Guess which is which.

Blues are Married Managers Jug-ears and sewing wifey.

Steamstress looking Lush.

Tubby and Trilly.

Piece of tableware/Hallmarked Trilly silver

Jug-earred Kris Marshall goes straight to some spoons.

Trilly plays a very straight bat with those decanter labels.

Roger Delgardo makes another appearance this time with his Goth hat.





Are those the Artist Trestles Tubby bought in the last episode from this location? The one which had Christina and the Buzzcut Duo in extreme mirth.



Tubby bores the Reds with his Italy knowledge.

 

Tubby's in teacher mode.
Work cut out: Redbloke thinks Sicily is a country.

Kate spots party-size cocaine dispenser.
*checks notes* Sugar-shaker, apparently.

 

The Master's mind control powder.

The Blokes today are particularly hopeless.

Thomas. Where is the Auction today? Buy cheap to stand a chance. Your big spend needs to be 75 and no more to minimise loss.

Dome-headed Red is a prize plum.

 

Textured glass. great stuff. very 60s
Oh dear, scratches spotted...
Will people buy scratched glassware?

I like that naval brooch. Pity they are not in Pompey.

Ooo, royal purple really suits Princess' colouring.

Blimey, had no idea Shrewsbury had such splendid buildings.

"Coated with a sticky substance...." script-reads Christina. She'll know all about that...

"Ooo, that's quite mean," grins Christina saucily.
Does she like 'em mean 'n' moody?
Come 'ere, luv, I'm a penniless manic depressive.

 

Reds buy: silver-plated claret jug, bar-brooch, Whitefriars glass vase

Blues: decanter labels, giant teapot, Art Deco Trilly silver and glass sugar shaker

The Princess confesses she needs a large one in the Morning. Her gong is banged.

 

Pompey is Malvern-on-the-sea Auction-wise.

A finishing off party says the Steamstress. Please invite us to that your Loveliness.

Sticky stuff used. Indeed.

Wood, Banging, in the Distraction.

 

SNAP!!!!

 

Muttley valuations. A bit pointless really.

She looks stunning even in this. austere setting.

Dirty Laughing for all she's worth. A shiitload.



Phil's not keen.




Reds: lose 50 notes on the jug, 3 lost on the bar brooch, glass vase loses 15. Anti-GG

This is terrible.

Tubby BB are 5 fountain pens with gold nibs (100), LOL, no chance 50-80, quite punchy = no chance, 100 start now 50, 30, now 40, 50. That's it. They lose 50.

Red Bloke pokes his own eye out rather than watch this Auction.



Reds -118 Splendid. Loses all the way.

Blues: decanter labels lose 9, giant teapot loses 55, sugar caster loses 9. LOL. Another Anti-GG.

More Trilly silver BB, a caddy spoon (40), 40-60, starts at 30, only bid, online. Loses 10.

Blues -83.

8 loses. So bad it's hilarious.

Blues win. They are shocked. Not so smug this time are you Tubby.

 

Redbird channels Gary Pe meme.
Tubby follows suit!

I like Tubby's pens. Surely a bit steep?

 

I was about to chuckle 'wow, Jackanory's certainly changed' but, sadly, i am suddenly wondering whether it is indeed a real CBBC trailer...

 

Muttley bids at his own Auction?

 

Classic episode. Buys all rated as decent by experts, Christina and Churchill, but all lost money at the dismal auction. My favourite was the claret jug going for 15 quid.

 

A Gary-style meme-tastic episode.

 

As moog's enthusiastic post implies: the more Pe-memes per episode, the better it is.

 

Who wants to see a young Penguin in a Baby Bouncer?

 

Now, Gregg Spanky Wallace is being investigated. Standby for his airbrushing from the Archives. A big plus for me!!!

 

Yes, this Auction does stink.

 

Don't mention the War.

 

Tubby meets his Waterloo.

 

The Princess fevered our brow with this episode in Oct last year, Phew ...........

Reg:
Today, not only is it the lovely Christina but it's one of the missing 6 episodes from the database, now to become the missing 5.

Christina confesses to being a Shropshire Lass.

Will there be other Confessions? Eyebrows raise.

Blue Bird has a squawky laugh and a squeaky voice.

Tubby: ..and they were defeated heavily. And, as a reward for their fighting and their defending of the faith... ..the Pope said, "You can now guard my city for eternity."
Red Bloke: But they lost
Haha

It came together, says Trilly after the orgiastic excesses of the shop.

It was big and that's the sort of size I need in the morning says Christina.

Looks like Christina is in Land of The Giants.


Urgghhh. It's a Thatcher/Heseltine Chimeric Monster. The stuff of genuine nightmares.


I will get out my trusty sword and protect you Christina. Cough.

Uh-oh, de-sanctified Church of Muttley. Where sellers will spend an eternity of torment as their profits are damned to Hell.



Time for Angel Christina to save us all.

Welcome to King Mut's Auction Rooms of the Mummified.



This Auction is going to be so shiiit.

Dutch Auction straight away. Terrible.

50 note loss on their first item, it wasn't even their big spend.

Jeez the second item only goes for 15 notes and makes a loss. This is beyond bad.

And the Whitefriars makes a loss. Anti-GG achieved.

Tubby's BB is a set of pens. His team are so underwhelmed.

Tubby: What do you think I paid for them?
Red Bloke: Uh, couple of quid?
LOL

Tubby pretending to talk the talk. He predicts a 50 note profit. I'll have some of whatever he's been taking.

I reckon they'll go for less than 50. They actually go for 50. Another nice big loss. Lovely. Scrooge cackles in delight.

Christina says Don't be nervous, you have the Master in charge here. Precisely why she is nervous.



Sherry and Gin decanter labels are right up Christina's street. Have another drink my dear.

The losses continue for the Blues.

The Dutch Auctions continue.

And another big loss on the teapot.

And also on their final item for another Anti-GG.

I hope you haven't spent too much on your BB Trills.

40 notes for a Georgian silver caddy spoon. Probably not here.

Christina talks about a gorgeous spoon. Eyes pop out of head.

The caddy spoon loses a tenner and we have another Grand Slam.

8 items sold, 8 losses. A combined loss of 201. Appalling.

Christina can't stop laughing very dirtily. The gallows humour is very entertaining.



The Blues are so shocked that they have won with a score of -83.



We've loved having you all says the Hostess with the Mostest.

Apply to have fun with Christina. The queue must be horrendous.



We have an erect and proud finale along with a kick.

Hard not to be reminded of the below.
Both TV comedy legends, tbf.
And not often a L*ton fan gets praised on here...

Re-up from October 2023 with additions.
BBC approved preamble:
Shrewsbury 15
Series 58
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000v534
Christina Trevanion is today's host in Shrewsbury, where experts Thomas Forrester and Kate Bliss guide the red and blue teams around the Shrewsbury Flea to see who can buy the most profitable three items to take to auction. Christina also heads into Shrewsbury to find out about the town's Tudor architecture.

The Translation:
At a yet again rain-sodden Shrewsbury, Steamstress Christina, our Tempestuous temptress, does her utmost to nurse my hangover and the after-effects of ultra-pokey chillies in this Saturday edition, as she eases my throbbing head. If she was a curry she would be Lamb Naga. Helping with my other throbbing head, mopping my fevered brow, is Trilly Tight Top, Tasty Chicken Sag and putting me right off and reminding me of a large onion bhaji is Tubby Thomas, the bland Egg Korma. Unfortunately, the Auction will be with Muttley in his condemned Black Hole Of Calcutta Tandoori Takeaway, he being the Bombay Duck, cheap and nasty with no takers.

The Staff:
[Gaffer] Temptress Christina Trevanion, you get so much more than you bargained for
[Red Team Expert] Tubby Thomas Forrester, the plump schoolboy, bursting out for Britain
[Blue Team Expert] Posh Kate Shrilly Trilly Bliss
[Auctioneer] Philip Muttley Serrell avec scarf de tat, pullover de moth et gillet piqure de puce
[Auction Location] Titus A Ducksarse Auction Tomb, Malvern, Worcester
[Miserlin Rating] One Star

​

The Teams:
[Red Team] Married Accountant Wifey and Engineer Hubby
(Challenge: Piece of tableware)
[Blue Team] Married Marketing & Comms Manger Hubby and Marketing Manager wifey, the dinner conversation must be scintillating. They went to school together. He's tight and she's into crafts.
(Challenge: Hallmarked silver)

The Shopping:
Reds: Edwardian silver-plated claret jug (65 Challenge) struggle, Birmingham Sailors sweetheart bar brooch (18) OK, Knobbly kingfisher blue Whitefriars vase (85) topend.
Blues: 1965 Silver decanter labels (39 Challenge) topend, Giant Chinese willow pattern teapot (75) maybe, Art Deco silver and glass sugar shaker (29) OK.

​

The Distraction:
Christina also heads into Shrewsbury to find out about the town's Tudor architecture. Archangel of loveliness, Christina takes a gander at some local erections, black and white. Standby for more knowing looks and Dirty Laughing-a-plenty.

​

The Auction:
Reds: Edwardian silver-plated claret jug (50 loss), Birmingham Sailors sweetheart bar brooch (3 loss), Knobbly kingfisher blue Whitefriars vase (15 loss). Anti-GG.
Tubby's BB are 5 Mid-20th century gold-nibbed fountain pens (100), 50-80, 50. A 50 note Tubby loss. Utterly useless.

​

Blues: 1965 Silver decanter labels (9 loss), Giant Chinese willow pattern teapot (55 loss), Art Deco silver and glass sugar shaker (9 loss). Yet another Anti-GG.
Trilly's BB is a Georgian silver caddy spoon (40), 40-60, 30. It loses a tenner. Not your fault Kate, a decent item at a decent price. Awful Auction.

​

The Aftermath:
Hangdog Muttley very pessimistic on his valuing, well he's best placed to judge his own local Audience. Even for a Muttley Auction, this was bad. It was a case of minimising the losses, something Tubby Thomas is hopeless at. His Red Team suffer greatly and pick up an Anti-Golden Gavel with losses on their first 3 items including a large one on the claret jug. After predicting a 50 note profit for his set of pens, Tubby's reputation would be utterly trashed if he actually had one. It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't so smug and bombastic. He bursts his trousers in shame. They lose 118 notes to complete a Grand Slam, but this being BH and a Muttley Auction, it could still be a winning score. Trilly's Blues fair just slightly better. Their Anti-Golden Gavel is made up of 2 small losses and a bigger one on that enormous teapot which everyone connected with the episode wants to crawl into and hide. Christina did confess that it was big and that's the sort of size she needs in the morning. I'd spit and glug on my own tea if I was drinking any. Even Trilly's safe silver bet fell short and they too end with a Grand Slam of losses and an 83 note deficit, which is the winning score. LOL. The Gallows humour factor is as high as the 201 Combined Loss making it a big contribution to the entertainment value of the episode which is very high. A very high quotient of Gary-style Meme's too, only add to the entertainment. Ho ho.

​

The Hi-Kick:
Outdoor Covid diagonal on uneven grass. Christina and Red Bird are up early, aren't we all, with everyone else finishing late, if only we could. Yes, YES!!

​

 

"Christina did confess that it was big and that's the sort of size she needs in the morning."
The second she mentioned the morning teapot, I thought 'Reg will definitely be having that'.
Presumably she likes it hot and milky.
Sometimes accompanied by a Chocolate Finger.

 

Isn’t that Tudor building on ‘Grope Lane’ in Shrewsbury?

 

Formerly Gropecunt_Lane. LMFAO.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gropecunt_Lane

Gropecunt Lane (/ˈɡroʊpkʌnt/) was a street name found in English towns and cities during the Middle Ages, believed to be a reference to the prostitution centred on those areas; it was normal practice for a medieval street name to reflect the street's function or the economic activity taking place within it. Gropecunt, the earliest known use of which is in about 1230, appears to have been derived as a compound of the words grope and c-unt. Streets with that name were often in the busiest parts of medieval towns and cities, and at least one appears to have been an important thoroughfare.

A property developer might be interested...

 

Or...is that what Gregg Wallace calls the Masterchef kitchen aisle?

 

SQUEAK!!!

Mancave, Jazz album covers. I dislike the Reds already.

2 sets of geezers. Let's hope they complete their shop this time.

Jab, Jab, Jab.

Roo and Rick.

Comes in a set/Find in a study or office.

Drinking from the cup on a wedding night. Snigger.

Rick's sold many, many of these. His new catchphrase.

Didn't try hard enough to get the reduction to 9.

Roo runs her fingers along Red Bloke's long handle.



Arrrgggghhhhh. Roo says Mancave.

 

The Squeak is off to discover the appeal of all things small, like his brain.

Such an ornate Butt Plug.



Special shenanigan Area. That sign could easily be replicated. Come in here Princess. Cough.



Danny's new special friends.

That Distraction is all over the place.

No mention of Airfix. Boooo.

Colin is tempted and teased by a rubber band box. Takes all sorts.

Has he sold them many, many times before?

LOL. Nope, it's not a musical dog collar.

The Reds have kept Roo happy. She likes a pair?

The Civil Servant Blue finds enjoyment in the rubber band box.

@wfcmoog One of your Harem is in the Audience.
