    Blues now: pig feeder wipes arse. Boomerang, a whole room of Boomerang smell, loses 18. Silver bonbon dish, ONE HUNDER-RED POUNDS!!!!, makes 40.

    Hauls them into profit.

    Sarky's BB is a Victorian green pine blanket box 20, bargain surely, 30-40 despite plunger down. 25 makes a fiver.

    Blues +27.

    If you fancy having a go, says Hawley hopefully.

    Absolute piece of crap from Mark as a BB. Only 20 paid, but worth about that.

    There was indeed large chattery twaaatery about this before, March last year, but before that, a public service picture for raising morale.

    Reg:
    Christina so flirty, DayGlo so creepy. It must have been First Prize in the Euromillions lottery to be Pudsey that day.

    In both HiKicks, Nick Robinson is having a good old look at the Growlers on display.

    Pudsey can barely lift his leg due to "structural" issues.

    It's a Xmas double-header next. Only one of them has been located but I have scripts for both. Same location for the pretend Xmas Auction but different experts.

    Interesting Season 46, Christina as Presenter, Auctioneer, and Expert at times. Can't wait.

    Back to the present. Foghorn, Tubby, Sarky, and Di1ckie Dalek.

    Mounty Dong's Spanish Lady Gardens. Let's see how much seed he gets to sow.

    Foghorn proposes a Night on the Tiles. WE all make our excuses and hurriedly leave.

    Busy fair. That always helps.

    Great excitement at the Auction she says.

    Retired married Red couple. They will moan and gripe. She loves mice. Dread to think what her house looks like.

    Nurse and Farmer Husband and Wife for the Blues.

    Bawley dressed like she's auditioning for Austin Powers.

    Red wife shrieks in horror on viewing Tubby.

    Fabric and Carved are the 2 Challenges.

    We all like Pansies says Sarky.

    We are painfully explained what a blotter is.

    Blues, Lancs Lass and Yorks fella. Standby for a huge argument later.

    Tubby wearing his D-Day glasses again. D for Disaster.

    He explains what an arctophile is to a Teddy Bear collector. He knows how to waste his breath.

    Sven Hasseler who designed stylish silver Nazi regalia.

    95. What is your very, very, very, very best. 90. LOL Yorks/Scots discounting.

    Sarky acknowledges the risk on the silver and enamel bon-bon dish. Big risk.

    Nice but very rich.

    45 + 30 +90 for the Blues.

    The pig feeder and boomerang stand more chance of makin a profit but thet bon-bon dish could sink them.

    Think the Blues will beat the Reds but perhaps it will be down to the BBs.

    Tubby's Reds items. 50 + 50 + 99. Oh dear. Big Loss incoming.

    101 GBP for Tubby to spunk up the wall.

    Profit on the Bear. GG on? Probably not.

    Tubby inspired purse.

    It stalls immediately. Big Tubby style loss. 74.

    Tubby Scandi Geese BB. 60 notes

    That bon bon dish makes 130. 40 profit. Well Done Sarky.

    Sarky's BB is a Victorian Pine Box. He has one in his victim attic.

    20 notes. That's a killing. Cough.

    Plunger not erect.

    When he hears the price it goes to horizontal.

    Re-up from March 2024 and Re-re-up from Aug 2022 with additions.
    BBC approved preamble:
    Shrewsbury 23
    Series 62
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001bf5p
    Caroline Hawley and the teams shop for antiques in Shrewsbury with experts Thomas Forrester and Mark Stacey. Each team must buy three items to take to auction in Lichfield. Caroline heads to the Jackfield Tile Museum and has a go at making her own decorative tile.

    The Translation:
    Ying and Yang time with Penny Dreadful, Foghorn Jericho, the Hammerhead Hawley as our non-angelic host but it does at least mean we'll have a decent Auction with Emperor Dalek Winterton at the Skaro Showrooms. As it's Shrewsbury in this latest Series she'll be dressed as Austin Powers after he's chundered down himself after a heavy night on the oysters. Joining the Tramps Bizarre in the Shropshire Ghetto will be SOS Tubby Thomas, the useless Auctioneer and even worse Expert, and Sarky Marky sleepwalking through yet another episode, however, he does enjoy a pansy.

    The Staff:
    [Gaffer] Caroline Bawley Hawley with her exclusive Scottish Huey and Ralph Spew and Cry collection
    [Red Team Expert] Tubby Thomas Forrester, the plump schoolboy
    [Blue Team Expert] Sarky Marky Stacey, the sleazy, slurry somnambulist
    [Auctioneer] Richard Emperor Dalek Winterton
    [Auction Location] Skaro aka Lichfield
    [Miserlin Rating] Unlisted

    [​IMG][​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    The Teams:
    [Red Team] Retired married couple. They keep chickens and pick any old rubbish up. She's into rodents.
    (Challenge: Includes fabric)
    [Blue Team] Mixed sex partners, she's a farmer and he's a nurse.
    (Challenge: Carved)

    The Shopping:
    Reds: Victorian leather bound desk blotter (50 Challenge) on trend bang on etc, Merrythought Ltd Edn Teddy Bear and box (50) OK, Silver chain mail purse (99) struggle.
    Blues: Cast-iron pig feeder (45) profit profit profit, Boomerang (30 Challenge) half-a-chance, Art Nouveau silver and enamel bon bon dish (90), he loves it, it could well make a profit.

    [​IMG]

    The Distraction:
    Jackfield Tile Museum where, after some grouting and trimming, Hawley ends up with a new face with a personality to match an inanimate piece of ceramic. Shame they couldn't fill up her gaping cake-hole with clay.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    The Auction:
    Reds: Victorian leather bound desk blotter (10 profit) Hawley and Red Witch explodes, Merrythought Ltd Edn Teddy Bear and box (5 profit) more shrieking, Silver chain mail purse (74 loss) and blissful silence. No GG for the Red Harridan.
    Tubby's BB is a Danish silver and enamel geese brooch (60), 30-50, should be OK, 60, evens stevens. Nice object Tubby. Still didn't make a profit though.

    Blotter.jpeg MerrythoughtBear.jpeg
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Blues: Cast-iron pig feeder (evens stevens), Boomerang (18 loss), Art Nouveau silver and enamel bon bon dish (40 profit).
    Sarky's BB is a Victorian pine box/trunk (20), 30-40, 25, small profit. That's OK Sarky.

    PigFeeder.jpeg Boomerang.jpeg
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    The Aftermath:
    Awful Foghorn Jericho presenting, Hawlsplaining the tinniest detail like a Primary School Teacher explaining how to tie shoelaces. The usual energetic Dalek Winterton Auction. Lots of Bid Barking and Arm Flinging, always a good sign. A Tale of 2 Big Spends. Tubby's Reds on first with that Dreadful Red Boilerhouse, wailing like an air-raid siren during the Auction. 2 items 2 profits, Shriek Force 10 on the Richter Scale. Then the Tubby-inspired silver chain purse, heavily overspent, and boy did it sink with a 74 loss. With the Golden Gavel turning into Fools Gold, the cacophony turned into Tumbleweed. Thank God for that. By the time Tubby's BB had broke even and disappointed, a nice Scandi silver that was too rich and barely broke sweat with the bidders, they had ended on a 59 loss. The deafening silence was most welcoming. Sarky's Blues break even on the feeder and the boomerang fails to return a profit. Then the very risky but very decorative silver and enamel bon-bon dish roars to a 40 note profit after selling for 130 notes. Well done Sarky for sticking to your guns. They blow Tubby The Tuba clear out of the Bandstand. The pine box BB picks up another fiver and they end on a 27 note profit. Entertaining episode.

    [​IMG][​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    The Hi-Kick:
    Standard indoor kick. Everyone, including Tubby and Sarky, hits 90 deg. Since becoming a presenter, Bawley has now fully perfected her head kick Growler. Yes, YES!!

    Blues: Indian tea-table, skip-rescued theatre chairs, clockwork elephant toy.

    The chairs are going to bomb or fly says Dave, meaning a bomber will fly and obliterate them. They are beyond awful.

    Billy Bragg and Vivian The Whore are today's Distraction subjects.

    Reds up: Crown Derby creeping up but still loses 45, 1980s robot makes 6, pub window glass stalls at 30 and loses 70.

    Foggy's BB is a 1902 Sheffield silver taper stick (70), Lewis loves, 30-50. Got a chance he says. Dutch start at 30 and ends at 50. 20 loss.

    Reds -129 Hawley Disasterclass LOL.

    Blues now. Tea Table makes 20. 4 and a half chairs with spare parts, LOL, up to 35, 40, 50, 55. Fail. lose 20. Aren't they awful. Elephant toy from the Masters, lose 25.

    Pervy Dave's BB is a Japanese wooden wall plaque not featuring a Geisha orgy (50), 20-30. You might get there says, Ross. I'll try, says a smirking Crumpled Lewis. Stalls at 40. Loses 10.

    Blues -35.

    Should have been a lot more with those chairs. They should have paid someone to take those away. Perhaps they'll end up in Pervy Dave's dungeon for Sweet, Sweet Pain.

    The Tool, Foghorn, DayGlo, Crumpled Lewis again.

    Mother and Daughter Reds. Mother has Foghorny traits. That sounds wrong and terrible.

    Father and Son. Sound like they're from the Midlands. Best keep non-Brits at arms length then.

    Missed today due to meetings (one of the participants had a standing desk). Will try and catch up

    Reg:
    Your scorn will be legendary.

    OT78:
    Heh. Hard, now, to think that there ever was such an era.
    How did I spend lunchtime?

    Moog:
    Ugh. Stallholders today not playing ball. Lots of crappy 10% discounts for trade. Think the items are decent but the priced paid all look a bit steep. Gonna be a struggle.

    Charlie's 'time's up' prop was the Stop Go sign from yesterday. It's almost as though they film a dozen of these shows in a single day!

    Auctioneer seems to share my opinions. He's close to tears at some of the priced paid. This is gonna be a bloodbath.

    If anyone can keep it to 2 figure losses today they've won IMO. Come on Boris Soundalike and get those bids.

    Well, for the Blues to buy those cinema chairs and still win, that's like conceding 5 at home and still getting 3 points.

    Hard episode.

    Reg:
    Even Crumpled laughed and said did he find them in a skip. Beyond awful. I was amazed they made 55 quid. God knows what critters are living in them.

    Both experts were really poor, Foghorn was especially terrible.

    Moog:
    I did like the oriental tea table. I'd have paid 40 quid for that myself. And I'm a tightwad.

    I thought the taper stand was worth the money in raw silver alone. Tightwad bidding. The whacky Japanese wood carving could have gone either way, I suppose.

    The cinema seats were appalling. Looks like they were salvaged from a fire. They were gutted.

    The glass window was a huge folly and to be honest, I'm surprised the robot didn't lose money too.

    The other toy was well overpriced, and Foghorn should have looked for the key indicators on the dragon paperweight. Bojo Auctioneer made it clear from the outset that with no case, no stopper and something else missing, it was gonna be a tough sell.

    Yeah, not a classic this one and not one to watch on repeat.


    [Recent Comment: The fact that it was a veritable Car Crash is the reason it was a Classic and should be used to school any idiot about how not to Buy and Sell items in an hour on BH!!]

    "We moaned and enjoyed about it back in Sep 2022, just before you joined the Magical Mystery Tour @OldTraff78"

    Yes, it all looked such fun; who could resist....

    ...and all the magic has indeed made @wfcmoog forget about this week's horrid anglepoises

    Reg:
    Bravo! Outstanding work!

    Coming soon ..... a delve it in the BH archives including adding Series 43-46 to the database and maybe some of the Tinpot Wandec0ck Series if they don't stray too far from the format.

    I will do reports, if the episodes can be located, with the usual photo-illustrations. Just to wet one's whistle so to speak, here's Princess Christina really enjoying her ride on a lovely vintage Chopper.

    Re-up from March 2024 and Re-re-up September 2022 with additions.
    BBC approved preamble:
    Newark 13
    Series 57
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000pk16
    Charlie Ross is in Nottinghamshire, where he discovers the story of a local woman whose legacy can still be seen in the small town of Newark-on-Trent. The Reds and Blues are hoping to make a profit with the help of experts Caroline Hawley and David Harper at the Newark Antiques Fair.

    The Translation:
    The Three Musketeers of BH, Charl-eh D'Ar-tat-gone, Arap1ss Foghorn, the awful one and one forlorn, Aramis DayGlo, as cheap as the bottom shelf toilet water scent, swoop and swashbuckle within Newark Antiques and Collectables Fair in Notts. Charl-eh has heard it's a really large one, so ends up getting his sword out with it's gleaming tip and twirling it around. Naturally, this results in his head spinning, followed by his eyes glazing over and a dark unsightly stain appearing down his pantaloons. Crumpled James Lewis Port-ly-hos, the hobo hammerateer, the Muscadeteer, who looks like he has spent the night in a p1ss-stained telephone box pleasuring Cardinal Richelieu, well that's how the window card described them.

    The Staff:
    [Gaffer] Omnifool Charlie Ross
    [Red Team Expert] Caroline Foghorn Bawley wearing another from the exclusive Zit Pop & Pus designer collection
    [Blue Team Expert] Pervy David Harper, the 'Boro' Ballgagger, the Gaslighting Ignoramus of Sweet Pain.
    [Auctioneer] Crumpled James Lewis, fresh from his night soak in a barrel of brandy
    [Auction Location] Bamfords, Derbyshire
    [Miserlin Rating] Unlisted

    [​IMG][​IMG]

    The Teams:
    [Red Team] Retired Mother & Geospatial apprentice Daughter
    (Challenge: 20th Century porcelain)
    [Blue Team] Retired Plod Father & Son
    (Challenge: Features a key)

    The Shopping:
    Reds: Royal Crown Derby dragon paperweight (85 Challenge) way overspent, 1980s Robot (39) good, Glass pub window pane (100) oh dear way overspent. Foghorn special.
    Blues: Indian embossed tea table (40) fine, 5 Knackered theatre seats (75) skipware says Crumpled, LOL, German clockwork elephant tin-plate toy (65) struggle.

    The Distraction:
    A local woman leaves a legacy for Charl-eh which results in a trip to the Sexual Health Clinic and a course of Penicillin.

    The Auction:
    Reds: Royal Crown Derby dragon paperweight (45 loss), 1980s Robot (6 profit), Glass pub window pane (70 loss).
    Foghorn's BB is an Edwardian Sheffield silver (Foghorn tick) taper stick (70), 30-50, might do it, Dutch auction, 50, another overpriced dud with a 20 note loss.

    Blues: Indian embossed tea table (20 profit), 5 Knackered theatre seats (20 loss), German clockwork elephant tin-plate toy (25 loss).
    Dayglo's BB is a Signed modern Japanese wall hanging plaque (50), 20-30, maybe, 40, another loss. Another dud. Another loss, this time a tenner.

    The Aftermath:
    Covid online echoey auction. Crumpled Lewis giving us his bombastic evaluations. Even he couldn't contain his shock, disbelief, and amusement at some of the items. In fact it was the only thing Reds won today, 2-1, the number of times Crumpled Lewis had to cover, his large sweating face, trying to stifle his laughter like when Classics Master Rotter Prosser-Presser caught his trousers on an exposed desk nail to reveal his bare arse, not the first or last time his pupils had seen those ruddy cheeks. The Dragon paperweight and Pub Window Pane drawing this Reaction for the Reds then following that the Theatre Seats for the Blues with a stifled guffaw.

    Not surprisingly, both teams make a loss. The Jericho-led Reds very heavily overspent and even Foghorn's silver, her forte if she has one, BB made a loss. A very poor 3-figure loss performance, 129 s0ds, from her team. Shame all round. In the middle ages she would be put in the stocks and pelted with rotten tomatoes and egg, which is exactly what her outfit looked like. For Pervy Dave's Blues, things were slightly better, down 35 quid, a decent profit on the Tea Table but losses on everything else. The awful rotten mouldy, mouse orgy set of Theatre Chairs actually made 55 quid, (only a 20 loss, should have been 3-figures as somebody would have needed to be paid to take them away). Yes, somebody actually bought them, They were beyond awful. DayGlo Dave not looking quite so smug after that.

    [​IMG][​IMG]

    The Hi-Kick:
    Outdoor Covid diagonal kick on grass. Hawley gives a close range Growler kick, luckily the revolting Tartan and the direction of the sun, overload our visual senses and ease the mental shock. Everyone else makes a decent attempt on the uneven ground. Yes, YES!!

    Peter Cook last night, Kenny tonight, we are being well and truly spoiled comedy wise, just like having one of our BH fave babes on each arm.
