Bargain Hunt

I hope JP gets them a silver runcible spoon as a BB

 

In playing 'do a shot whenever someone says quirky. ' i might have to go to hospital

 

Sweet Redbird is the result of Ana de Armas and Eva Longoria somehow sleeping together and sprogging. Beats longhaired Joyce Grenfell Bluebird, imho.

 

What the **** is that mutant doing with princess

 

Christina bravely refusing to cry. What a trouper.
Her greatgrandad is a national hero, and not just for producing his descendant.

She unnecessarily tells Tim he looks dapper. "I try," he smarms. Oi, we see your game, Weeks.

 

Oooo telephone bid already on the cat. Not the first time a phone call for pussy has generated cash.

Couldn't be more perfect, no you certainly are.



Reds: brooch makes 8, cologne bottles lose 15, Treebeard Terrorist doesn't do his stuff, till loses 8.

Kates's BB is a Trilly silver box, With Labour Hope, as opposed to Tory Doom (35), 30-50, 65. Makes 30 note.

When you turn Kate's box over. Snigger.

Reds +15 that's OK.

Come and get the Princess.



Blues: damaged in transit (again) owl inkwell loses 44, Telephone bidding on pussy, loads of interest 26 profit, novelty teapot on legs makes , Fab Dirty Laugh, 60.

JP's BB is a brown furniture mahogany hall chair (42), 30-50, 75. 33 profit.

Blues +75

So much Dirty Laughing.

Come and "Do" on my website.



A Princess Growler Shot.

 

Reds could get a GG with Weeks at the podium

With him and JP, the testosterone will be off the scale.

 

Real treat for the ladies today, with the medallion hunk on the distraction too.

 

Kate smashes it with her BB, as usual.

 

Bliss class as ever.

Dearie me, yet another damaged item.
Which cavalier charlies are doing the transporting; the Calais Immigrant Dinghies Company?

 

Oof. Maybe the owl would've flown with an undamaged liner. Seriously though, the damage on this show

 

I'm sure that teapot is a completely ordinary example of a common item.

It's gone berserk.

 

Teapot was hilarious. Tenner was always way too cheap.
Chair was a surprise, though.

Oo, JP in good gag shock.

 

Farage's Sympathetic Foreign Object Removal and Disposal Ltd

 

JP could actually Out-Barnet Weeks or could Out in another way.

He could be JP Rohhhhm to Timo's Wokesfuhrer.

 

back of the queue Quiffy boy...

 

Seconded. Gobby and 'bubbly': ugh

 

haha, good spot

 

Fnurkle gurgle

 

Much Chattery Tw@@ttery about Today's Steamstress Emergence episode twice before, in last April and Oct the year before .......

Reg:
Impressive Raj salute.



OT78:
On a similar tip, a rather young Princess C - with long hair - is on a Really Roadtrip doublebill now, with a cleanshaven Laidlaw.
August 2015!
When Brexit, Covid and Liz Truss were all unknown, and L*t*n Town were in the fourth division.
So much for the Whig vision of history...

Reg:
Is that the one when Laidlow calls her a flirt, she dirtily laughs, shows some leg, and then skillfully manipulates the gear stick into the upper reaches?

There's another later episode when the first antique shop she enters the male owner comes out and clumsily kisses her and she says, "Ooooo kisses!!" and responds in kind to be kind. Or have I just imagined everything? The bloke must have been duly overcome with lust.

Ah, found it. Said scene is about 3 mins in, but you really should be watching the lot.







Keepers Shilton and Schmeichel go on a trip with Laidlow and Sarky. It's a real hoot.





WTF is this all about? This is the only pic associated with this episode.



Timmy:
I must stop drinking the peapod wine and eating those wild mushrooms I found before I read this thread. I'm sure I just saw a pic of a fairy (not sarky) McWitch and a golf cart.

Reg:
Guess who's on next?



@OldTraff78 @TIMMY WANNACOTT @wfcmoog Prepare the ice bath as it's another one of those sizzling Christina in Leominster episodes. Will she and the Wokesfuhrer be re-enacting a scene from BH's Salon Kitty during the valuations in the Chippenham Gymnasium for some some routines on the Rings.

This is definitely not an episode to miss!!!!



OT78:
vg!

It may only be 12 degrees outside but this room just got hot.

Reg:
It's very high and so is the Pollen Count

With comic relief provided by JP Pratt.

Timmy:
Pratt by name.....

Reg:
More Trailers for so called BBC "comedy. Come on we're waiting.

We get to relax with Christina says the continuity announcer. Yes please.

Ah blessed relief. Christina's great-grandfather Distraction episode.

Art Deco nudity alresdy.

Married Red Welsh team. He's a Pastor. Blessed is the presenting angel.

Blue Partners who met online. Cough.

A new innovation will be to fetch the 300 notes from Christina's pocket.

Timmy:
OOOhhhh - cash teleportation! I could do with some of that!

Reg:
Horses/Birds.

Blue airhead doesn't like Birds.

We love 'em don't we!!!

Squeaky Blue Bird, at least Danny isn't here aswell.

Magic Roundabout. BUY IT!!!!

Magic Roundabout toy. Good nostalgic start.

Shame Christina doesn't say Time For Bed as we all Boing.

Nice cheap horseshoe brooch. Discount time. Not bad. Generous. 8 notes.

Horsey done.

Blue bird speaking her thoughts as they emerge in her head. This is not good.

A dilemna. Easy on the eye but annoying when she squeaks her thoughts.

OT78:
snigger:

Timmy:
Blue bird reminds me of someone, can't think who? One of pans people maybe? don't know. Or maybe I met her online once, or visited her website or something (snigger).

OT78:
Martina Hingis?

Timmy:
I think you may be right - thanks

Reg:
Christina says a bird in the hand is ....... Phew.

Something will jump at us. Well I have something that just jumped up when the programme got going.

Peagreen boat needed. Emphasis on the pee. Where's Gary?

Pussy pleasure time.

Toilet water bottles. For the pee?

Sharp markings on the glass, it's faceted rather than moulded, which is better. Top Trilly Tip.

Reds are dithering.

Trilly focussing her team. Top experting.

Shall we go upstairs. You haven't got time for that.

Take the drawers and get ready to drop them when the Princess arrives.

M&S toy till.

That weird teapot I remember from before.

Reds have Horse Brooch, Victorian Cologne Bottles and the till.

Lovely Dirty Laugh.

Left over lolly. Gobble, slurp.

Blues have owl inkwell, pottery cat, Carltonware tea pot.

That Owl is stamped with LOSS.

JP lurking in the background like a stale fart.

Owl and Pussycat joke from Christina.

That cat is also a loss-maker.

They were big and nailed Chrstina's ...... Challenge.

That poor Blue Bloke.

Moog:
Well done Blues! That owl ticks your big spend, your shopping challenge and your guaranteed 3 figure loss in a single item!

Reg:
Anglepoise lamp in view. Leave well alone.

Dithering pastor is not a great look.

Hopeless directing by JP.

That teapot is the only profitable item for the Blues.

Moog:
That cat has been cleared out of some dead old lady's house by her kids who hated it.

It's worth all of 10-15 quid in Moog's expert opinion.

[Recent comment: Wokesfuhrer mentions telephone inquiry in the valuation so you know it's going to do well.]

Owl I'm valuing at 60-80

[Recent comment: So was damage in transit beneficial at setting the minimum it would make at 150?]

Contestants are all a little too Welsh for me.

I hated Gavin and Stacey.

Predicting no overall profits today. Blues to lose the least.

Reg:
That teapot for sale on ebay for 45 GBP.



Moog:
Won't reach that in auction. 20 quid.

Weeks overdue a haircut.

Christina's family history. I switched off a bit TBH, but looks like it might have been interesting.

Reg:
Christina's family history.

First bit was about the Master-of Arms who survived the Titanic and WWI.

Christina has shivers down her spine. Phew.

Second bit was about Christina's Great-grandfather who won DSO and Legion D'Honour in WWI and was killed in 1916. He never recieved his campaign medals. Her Great-Grandmother then brought up 4 kids, Christina had to try and hold back tears, including her Granny who lived to a ripe old age of 108/9. Actually very touching. Some hugging could've been in order. Bless.

Moog:
Is it bad that Christina getting emotional is a huge turn on?

Timmy:
not at all.

Reg:
Definitely conflicted feelings. I'm sure you could lend a shoulder for comfort.

OT78:
Mmm...I think Christina's got wet cheeks.
Also, a wet face.

Christina's centenarian granny shows what good genes Princess has inherited. Good jeans too, if I recall that RegGrab from her other show...

Reg:
Not the Black Top for the valuation this time.

Moog:
Tim's gonna shiiit when he hears what they spent on the owl

Weeks agrees. I'm good at this.

Reg:
Telephone bid for Pussy already.

We can see the action as it happens says the Princess with a big Dirty Laugh.

Horse Brooch profit. Nice.

Horsey straight in there.

Colon bottles. Treebeard on the phone. A loss.

Time will Till if they'll get a profit.

16 are you coming. Yes. Yes.

A loss though.

Rusty till seizes up.

Trilly's BB is some Trilly silver. It'a snuff/vesta box.

Labour and Hope motto on there. Something we are all wishing for.

Will profits be snuffed out on Trilly's Silver box.

Trilly's sweet little box.

Big Trilly Tick.

Nice 30 profit. They end +15. That's OK.

Smiley Blues now, but not after the Auction.

Another damaged in transit item.

Insurance figure of 150 on the Owl, damaged in transit.

The owl inkwell is valued 50 to 60 below the price for insurance.

Guaranteed loss. It is.

Moog:
Liner damaged in transit.

Insurance estimates of 150! Fark me! It was 60-80.

Wow! 160! Did not see that coming.

Reg:
Pussy time. Heavy breathing on the phone. Low steady groan as it makes a messy profit.

Cat gets the cream. It's a Winstanley which helps.

Moog:
Factory made, 10 a penny cat makes 70 quid. Wow.

Reg:
Winstanley cat. Adds 30-40 quid to it automatically.

JP looks disinterested despite the profit.

The repressed upbringing coming to the fore.

Teapot with legs sprints to profit. 60 note profit and a Dirty Giggle.

JP's brown furniture BB. Spent all of the 42. Has loss stamped on it.

What do I know. It flies to 75.

Classic elegant timeless. Yes you are Christina.

Wow JPs Blues make 75.

Both teams make a profit so we get a huge Dirty Laugh.

Blue Bird's hand blocks view of the Archgoddess kick. Boo.

OT78:
fabulous episode!
Rather fit birds too, albeit with annoying stupid welsh voices.

very nice humour from JP at the end.
Twice in a week he has done the business.
Is his agent running the BH BBC schedules?

hilarious cute Teapot clearly fantastic. what idiot sells that for a tenner?

Moog:
Not had a vesta box for ages. Used to be a vesta case and a scent bottle every episode. No more.

OT78:
Aye. They were staples of life, like bread and beer.
All smoking paraphernalia has dropped off a cliff, of course.
Even superglam nicely embossed antique silver ciggie cases seem to struggle. As a reluctant ex-smoker, I pang for such items.
I am told by Viewing Partner that scent bottles suffer because Modern Wimmin want to show they have the latest 'branded' perfumes in their telly-advertised bottles - whereas Edwardian Ladies wouldn't dream of promoting ghastly commercialist interests.

Reg:
You can't beat a Vesta Box.



Pah cigar paraphernalia please.

Something to show of this monster Brick House Mighty Mighty.

Brick House Mighty Mighty Maduro 6"1/4 * 60



Timmy:



player subtitles man nails it again.... (Reg Comment: In his dreams)



JP trying to get his hand in too...



on another note....



Reg:
Pumping eh. I bet Thomas's furniture is being well Revivoed behind her.

Reg:
[Commenting on another Pratt episode, OT78 said: JP understandably crowing that his ultra-rare profitable win beats a GG. He's glowing like the goofball who finally gets laid after three barren years at the front.]

Or by the gorgeous girl at school who is now 60.

OT78:

Mind you, as i approach 60, and thinking of the 4th formers I used to boss around when a prefect...

Reg:
I remember throwing this first year kid out of a building while on lunchtime prefect duty. Both his Worsted/Crimplene/Beau Brummel type blazer sleeves detached from the jacket body, which I retained. He looked like he was ready to direct the traffic with just his blazer sleeves on, much to the amusement of his giggling girly classmates.

[OT78 said: hmm. Anyone been watching this series? BBC1 later The Vintage French Farmhouse]

Antiques en France. On a buying trip to Provence, dealers are on the hunt for hidden treasures in its fabulous markets. Can they turn a profit from their purchases?
That bloke looks like a fat prospective Tory MP was his Blue Rosette and allegiance to Satan. A cross between Tubby Thomas and Sarky but without the wit of the latter.

Are there any Christina, Steph, Tash, Roo or Gropey equivalents?



OT78:
Was ghastly.
First ten minutes buying in a french town I know well was lovely fun but rest was self-indulgent tedium

Reg:
From the Digital Spy Forum. Snap, I believe. Well, more or less. Hohohohohoho.



Moog:
We need these people on here.

Reg:
I think some of the more celeb-obsessed contributors would have a heart attack on here, or at the very least Canities subita (hair turns white due to shock).

OT78:
Transfer market opening?!
But what if DigitalSpy offer a fistful of fivers for Reg...
Can we afford to keep him? Fundraising alert.
I have some classic 1970s italian softcore dvds i can throw in, plus Luther Blissett's autograph.

Reg:
No chance of that, it's completely moribund on there. I know where the cool kids hang out.

1970s classic Latin overt hirsuteness. At least the softcore nature will banish hairy nutsackitis.

Moog:
[Reg said: It's the Ying to Southsea, and anywhere in Yorkshire or Scotland's Yang. This balance is needed. You also need somewhere to flog your stuff after you've cleaned up at the other places.]

One hopes that if I ever go on, I'll get Bourne End as my local hammer house. I'm gonna apply I think. Yes? YES!

Reg:
Are you allowed to have a preference of experts, presenter, location?

Will you be one of those contestants who hope for one of the girls or Catherine (natch) and end up with Gary, Carloss, or Tubby and you have to pretend you're really happy about it rather than looking skywards and mouthing a big "FARK NO!!!".

OT78:
Princess and Laird Laidlaw on Really now.
Christina overload today.

Laidlaw buys a glass for a quid...sells it for £360.
Christina swoons.

that was one of the best Roadtrips ever, replay/catchup fans.
real chemistry, top bants, christina all innocent and lovely, laidlaw full of wit and smarts...

Reg:
That episode above where Peter Shilton asks him what football team he supports and Proud Paul booms Scotland. LOL

 

Tasty treats.

 

Lobby Cards I:

 

Lobby Cards II:





OT78:
So many RegGrabs of Princess...where to start? (Or, more importantly, finish?)

Reg:
Kate agrees!!

 

hmmm...TPix horror in the small hours...is it The Transgressor biopic?
'Don't Look in the Basement!'

 

Re-up from April 2024 and Re-Re-up from October 2023 with additions.
BBC approved preamble:
Leominster 11
Series 59
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000zwy0
Christina Trevanion is in Leominster in Herefordshire, where the red and blue teams receive expert guidance from Kate Bliss and Jonathan Pratt as they buy three items to take to auction. Christina also meets an expert on medals and militaria, and discovers some family history of her own.

The Translation:
It's time for part 3 of our post-Apocalyptic Auction extravaganza series, Leominster 2020 Mad Charles III, Thunderdrome Jumble Sale, Bring And Buy Or Die! After escaping from Tewkesbury, The New Bronx, Warrior Queen Christina, charges off back towards Leominster with her silver maiden, Trilly Titus Dressus Furiosa Bliss back along Fury Road aka A417, hotly pursued by Lord JP Humungus Idiot Pratt with his cost more than its worth Torius Wheels Come Offium Battletruck. We all know that the Queen Christina's Turbo Dirty Laugh powered steam buggy will be more than an equal match to Humungous Pratt, who has the legendary reputation of going in for the kill and then massively farking up. Auction once again in the Wokeorium Gladiator Arena with Mudguts Toecutter Weeks, where the Radiation Hipsters go crazy for all this Industrial Chic. The fee, one tank of juice preferably Fig and Elderflower.

The Staff:
[Gaffer] Steamstress Christina Trevanion, she sets the heat controller to 11
[Red Team Expert] Posh Kate Shrilly Trilly Bliss, the tighter her dress, the shriller she gets
[Blue Team Expert] Gently effeminate, gaffe prone Jonathan JP Pratt with his Tory boy fashion style
[Auctioneer] Timpole Tudor Wokesfuhrer Weeks with Germanic floppy fringe.
[Auction Location] Wessex Auction Rooms, Chippenham
[Miserlin Rating] Unlisted

​

The Teams:
[Red Team] Married student wifey and hubby pastor, time for praying
(Challenge: Relating to horses)
[Blue Team] Nurse Bloke and Teacher Bird who met online
(Challenge: Relating to birds)

The Shopping:
Reds: Vintage Brass Horse and Horseshoe brooch (8 Challenge) good, Victorian leather cased cut-glass toilet water bottles (75) OK, Pre-M&S St.Michael cash register (22) might struggle.
Blues: Victorian silver-plated owl ink well (204 Challenge) ooooff ouch and ooooffff aagain, Winstanley Pottery cat (44) good, Quirky Carlton ware teapot (10) solid buy.

​

The Distraction:
Christina also meets an expert on medals and militaria, and discovers some family history of her own. First bit was about the Master-of Arms who survived the Titanic and WWI. Second bit was about Christina's Great-grandfather who won DSO and Legion d'honneur in WWI and was killed in 1916. He never received his campaign medals. Her Great-Grandmother then brought up 4 kids, Christina had to try and hold back tears, including her Granny who lived to a ripe old age of 108. Actually very touching. Some hugging could've been in order. The queue for administering them would have been huge and snaking round the building several times over.

​

The Auction:
Reds: Vintage Brass Horse and Horseshoe brooch (8 profit), Victorian leather cased cut-glass toilet water bottles (15 loss), Pre-M&S St.Michael cash register (8 loss).
Trilly's BB is a 1901 Victorian silver snuff/Vesta box (35), 30-50, 65. Excellent 30 quid profit buy Trills.

​

Blues: Victorian silver-plated owl ink well, damaged in transit (44 loss), Pottery cat (26 profit), Quirky Carlton ware teapot (60 profit).
Pratt's BB is a Mid to late Victorian mahogany hall chair (42), 30-50, 75. Like a stopped clock, JP for once makes a profit on his BB. This time it's 33 GBP.

​

The Aftermath:
It's another good Pandemic Recovery episode. Post-Covid special, Antiques Centre, the Reds Centre manager was quite accommodating with the discounts which helped. The bunker-style hybrid-setup Auction with a very bedraggled Wokesfuhrer on screens and Treebeard Storm Terror compulsory bearded sidekick, who always looks like a Hilly Billy Tramp Jihadist, on the blower, to extract every morsel of profit out of the hungry punters. Christina looking fabulous and shedding a personal tear during the Distraction. Trilly's Reds think very hard about each of their items. They make a nice profit on the brooch but fare less well on the cased toilet water bottles and the knackered rusty toy till. They are dragged to an overall 15 note profit by Kate riding to the rescue on her trusty steed, Silver, with a nice Snuff Vesta box which makes 30 notes. JPs Blues, with very squeaky Blue Bird, took an age to buy anything, as JP stood back and didn't really direct them. They eventually settled on a heavily overpriced Owl, estimated 60-80, which is then damaged in transit (again), and then they get an insurance estimate of 150! What gives? It doesn't actually matter, only to us pedants, as it makes 160, still a sizeable loss. Another JP Masterclass of Crap? No, as the ceramic cat turns out to be Winstanley pottery and makes a decent profit and the teapot on legs, which they get for a tenner, an absolute steal as they are going for 45 notes on eBay (see above). It goes for 70 (60 profit). JP then astounds us with a brown furniture hall chair BB which makes a decent profit. He must have made a pact with Satan or it's stopped clock syndrome, or infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters. Oh yeah, they make a decent overall profit of 75 GBP. Another entertaining Christina-fronted episode. Dirty laugh-tastic. It takes me an hour to get out from the table.

​

The Hi-Kick:
Indoor Covid diagonal kick at a very tight angle. It looks like everyone hits par, as do I, with reasonable coordination, which I achieve too. Yes, YES!!

​

 

So much Christina to enjoy.
In all honesty, I would pay the license fee just for her.
('Just for her to what?')
(Not that I have to pay the fee, tbh.)

btw, anyone else see a bit of Christina in Sally Bretton?

 

Cover your ears and eyes it's Foghorn Bawley.

Jericho's Toys, it doesn't bare thinking about.

Nice to see she she just dunked her hair in a bucket of bleach.

Dalek Auction. A positive.

Reds: BAME Mother & Daughter, Doctorrrrr and Actress

Blues: Retired Mum and Plod Son, BAME Team will be in trouble then.

Tubby and Sarky.

With an Asian connection/With an American connection, so it can be smashed and burned to much cheering.

A Huge Coq, but that's enough about Thomas.



A Bar-tending tool, Tubs?, and a jigger. Plod Blue would prop that up. They like a drink or 10.

BH Dreams Come True.



BH Tossing and Turning Come True.



Blues complete 2 purchases for 21 notes including Yankee Go Home challenge.

Surely 2 profits. Just have to make sure the Big Spend is sensible and a GG could be grabbed.

Kamikaze purse.

Tinpot Thorley and her Distraction of Patronisememt.

Rubbing Hawley may feel rough and unhewn.

That clock is far too expensive.

 

Cute Teddies.

Spoiler: YOU KNOW WHAT"S COMING Ahem

Reds: Japanese evening bag, medical teaching aid, camera

Blues: 1 note dessert spoon , brass submarine plaque, huge spend pedal car

That Golden Gavel has been tin-plated and thrown into the skip. What a stupid buy!

Dalek Plunger wavering over the Red items.

Blue's items, plunger up for first 2 items, now the car, LOL, he loves it, plunger straight up, on-trend, 80-120, they paid 245, big sigh, plunger down. Ha ha.

Auction time.

Reds: purse loses 15, well done Tubby, it's only 15 pounds booms Jericho, medical model loses 59, camera loses 13.

@wfcmoog Auction Babe for you, showing a bit of leg.



Tubby BB, shoot off then get your buy, Mother-of-pearl box (73), 30-50, 80. 7 note profit.

Zieg!!!!!



Reds -80

Blues: spoons make 9 notes, plaque makes 15, now comes that car, Hahaha, 160, loses 85. As predicted.

 

God Hawley is awful. So slow and cumbersome. Did they not do any sort of screen test for her before making her a presenter?

I don't like the items today. Either dull, or too much spent (car and medical dummy).

At least We've got a Winterton auction to look forward to.

 

Perhaps they just said Yes, to get rid of her quickly.

 

lovely box!

 

Anti GG for reds
Not sure about Tommy's BB either.

Still think blues could lose with that car. Maybe not though as reds have set a pretry low bar.

 

It just ruins the programme.

Even the Squeak is at least likeable and capable of stringing two scenes together without reading slowly from a card. Just awful

 

Blues: spoons make 9 notes, plaque makes 15, now comes that car, Hahaha, 160, loses 85. As predicted.

Sarky's BB is a 1903 Birmingham silver-topped umbrella (15), 15-25, 40. Profit of 25.

Blue Plod leaping like a chimp.

Blues -36

Ha HAWWWLLLL she bellows.

 

Who or what is the Back Seat Negotiator. It sounds all wrong!!!!!

Universal Theme Park to open in Beds as an alternative to the Tinker Theme Park at the Kennel.
