    The 2 million pound moment:

    Sam Handjob-Maiden: Fang mask with good providence today, dating from the late 19th century, could be a couple of million pounds.
    Christina: £2 million?
    Handjob-Maiden: Yes.
    Christina: Wow.

    No discount whatsoever. Yes please say the reds. Pathetic.

    Terrible experts today. It's like watching Everton vs Southampton. Why is this even being televised?

    There are obviously several episodes shot on the day for Leominster Series 58 featuring Christina. Perhaps the BBC will do the decent thing and release them as a box set. Who needs Emanuelle in Bangkok when you can have Christina in Leominster. Come on Auntie Beeb give us the full works.

    BH back at school explaining the then new rules from a large rule book. Shouldn't it be Strict Natasha in Gown, Mortar Board, and Cane doing this? Would she be wearing anything else?

    Smoking Jacket Aston's Auction Rooms pre-SOS TubbyTakeover.

    Some dry observation by Uncle Eric regarding the jacket.

    Auction bidding starting at too low a value.

    Big Buy for a Goodbye for Cooper.

    Start me somewhere sensible (for the ton plus ring), 10 pounds .... LOL

    Loss after loss after loss. No wonder he baled out to Tubby.

    What a terrible Auction complete with the usual Tragicooper Grand Slam disasterclass.

    BBC approved preamble:
    Dagfields 29
    Bargain Hunt Series 52 Episode 20 of 32
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0003f9r
    Today the reds and blues are bargain hunting at antiques centre in Cheshire. Eric Knowles is overseeing the proceedings, and experts Ben Cooper and Richard Madley will be helping our teams, who today have some additional shopping challenges. As well as spending £300 in an hour, they must spend at least £75 on one of their items and complete a buying challenge of Eric’s choosing. Eric also pays a visit to the Potteries and the World of Wedgwood.

    The Translation:
    Another Antiques Centre Game of Chance with lucky sixpence Uncle Eric and his thruppenny bit D1ckko Madley mot Madeley and returning bad penny Bin Ben Tragicooper. This episode has luck on its side as it's in Dudley, pre-Tubby Takeover, so it's Chris Aston in his smoking jacket. Unfortunately, he does have to try and extract folding money out of the West Midland Misers, some inventiveness could well be in order.

    The Staff:
    [Gaffer] Uncle Eric Knowles, supreme sausage scoffer
    [Red Team Expert] Richard Madley not Madeley, SportsMad D1ckko Madders
    [Blue Team Expert] Ben Cooper, the Poundshop George Michael
    [Auctioneer] Chris Smoking Jacket Aston
    [Auction Location] Aston's Auctioneers and Valuers Ltd, Dudley pre-TubbyTakeover
    (Miserlin Rating: One Star)

    Start.jpeg Auction.jpeg

    The Teams:
    [Red Team] Retired sisters-in-law, one of whom is married to the others twin brother, or is it the brother married to twins, something like that
    (Challenge: Sporting Memorabilia)
    [Blue Team] Retired Terry and June, the boss and his wife are coming round to dinner at any moment and Terry has lost his trousers
    (Challenge: Relating to music)

    The Shopping:
    Reds: Reproduction trading cards (18 Challenge) topend, Tractor seat stool (75) struggle, Art Deco pewter vase (35) OK.
    Blues: Knackered Accordion without strap (54 Challenge) struggle, Amethyst cluster ring (104) ouch, Poole Pottery vase (28) topend.

    The Distraction:
    Eric also pays a visit to the Potteries and the World of Wedgwood. Ah, the standard bearer of English ceramic pottery. My Mum is from this neck of the woods and her brother was Clay Manager at Wedgwood's, so it's in the blood. Uncle Eric loves his ceramics. Good man.

    Distraction.jpg

    The Auction:
    Reds: Reproduction trading cards (2 note loss), Tractor seat stool (large loss), Art Deco pewter vase (largish loss).
    Madders BB is a Box set of Table Bowls (20), 30-50, 20, evens stevens. Breaks the run of losses.

    TractorSeat.jpeg TableBowls.jpeg

    Blues: Knackered Accordion without strap (largish loss), Amethyst cluster ring (large loss), Poole Pottery vase (loss).
    Carloss BB is a Carved jade pendant (30) so no huge potential loss, 20-40, 18. Yet another Tragicooper Disasterclass.

    AmethystRing.jpeg JadePendant.jpeg

    The Aftermath:
    The Dudley misers were out in force at the Smoking Jacket's fire sale. No profits for the Red team. The Blues did even worse, well do you expect from Tragicooper. Yet again a loss Grand Slam and a 3-figure overall loss. His Bonus Buy was something you would find in a Xmas Cracker. Cooper, You, Are, Utterly, Utterly, Useless. Time for a gripe. The format for this programme in this series is a real pain the arse. No loss or profit banner over the BBs or the final totals. Luckily, they saw the error of their ways and found a result output format that works.

    Red_BlueLoss2.jpg

    The Hi-Kick:
    Standard indoor kick. Everyone makes par with Madders a little late. Yes, YES!!

    Charl-eh, Hanson. Tragicopper, and Mat Not Pete Tong, who was a decent Auctioneer last time.

    Where are we? asks the Posh Idiot. His head has started spinning early today! Later on he asks, Who am I? Why am I naked?

    A pair of female Nurses Teams for The Reds.

    Aha. Ohohoho. Good good good says the fool.

    They scream with delight over Hanson. Tag team later for Charles when they play Doctor and Nurses.

    Gives us a kiss he says. Now now Charles not yet.

    Sooty, Sweep and Sue. Hanson can't wait to get his hand in.

    Potential Hanson folly.

    Cooper is a tat magnet. That night light. A soon as the dealer heard big spend they immediately offered 75.

    Hanson very handsy today.

    Cooper barely trying today.

    The Nurses give Hanson a specimen bottle to fill later on.

    Leave your hair alone Cooper.

    That dealer wants rid of that egg, the price drop was ridiculous.

    Oh dear Charles is going to spunk 160+ notes on a snuff box.

    Profit snuffed out?

    Nice mantle clock.

    My grandparents were married on Christmas Day 1931, and I have the gorgeous clock they received as one of their wedding presents, still in lovely condition & good working order.

    Big profit on Sooty and co.

    LOL Hanson has spunked all the cash on those 3 silver boxes. LOL

    Rightly rejected.

    2 out of 3 losses for Cooper. An improvement!!!

    Puts his trust in Scandi Silver again.
