Good afternoon. I am very pleased to announce that your local 346 year old auction house, Northerbys, has been instructed by the BBC to hold a sale of it’s “lost” property. The sale will be held on Tuesday 13th May from 10 am and we are pleasured to have guest auctioneer Fiona Bruce clutching the gavel. The “lost” property includes some rare antique items and original artworks “accidentally left behind” after filming popular BBC programmes such as The Antiques Road Show, Cash In The Attic, Homes Under The Hammer and Crime Watch. One picture, an original 17th century painting “Blokes In Boats” by Giovanni Cannelloni, is expected to fetch at least £500,000. All proceeds from the sale will go towards to the BBC Christmas Party fund. I hope to see you all on the 13th. Tim Wonnacott. Head Auctioneer. Northerbys Auction House

Well done to the BBC for at last airing a comedy that is both side-splittingly funny, well acted and is suitable for all the family (no ruddy swearing for once). I’m talking about The Wright Way, written by Elton John. I won’t spoil the plot but let’s just say it’s about a health & saftey inspector (something close to my heart). It’s got great characters that are hilarious. My only criticism is it’s on too late (I was canny and recorded it, then watched it this morning after viewing Homes Under The Hammer).

Watch it. You won’t regret it. Ray Eastleigh
