CheapShow - Ep 489: Tat Hunt Getting A Wiggle On (Mono)

Episode Date: May 29, 2026

(Mono Version) It’s finally time for Part Two of our Cambridge Tat Hunt adventure! This week, Paul and Eli stumble onto a wealth of charity shops that, frankly, becomes a little overwhelming. They don’t have all the time in the world, so the cheap chaps try to cram in as many shops as possible before they close up for the day. Hopefully, they’ll find what they need with the £10 budget they’ve been given… But who will get the most/best/worst stuff when the final evaluation arrives? As you can imagine, it’s never this easy for Paul and Eli, so in amongst all the shopping, they manage to get lost looking for a building Eli can’t shut up about, find out their train has been cancelled and, once again, discover that they may have a problem finding a private place to weigh up the spoils of their hunt. It’s another ramble that will either delight or bemuse!

Right, this is Paul and Eli from the future saying this is this week's episode, which is part two of last week's Cambridge TAT hunt adventure. This is this and this is me, and hello, I'm me. But now we must go back in time a few hours, whibble-wobble, and find out how Paul and Eli are getting on with their Cambridge Tat Hunt. I've whetted my whistled. Good luck, chaps. Best of British Pippip. Off they go. Go bless them.

Love you. See a bit. Right, we've had a nice rest at the cemetery. Not a rest. Not eternal rest. That's coming for us both, mate. At one point we'll be in the grunde. It'll come for everyone.

We'll stop kicking a ball about. Yeah. But anyway, so we're heading into the city now. Well, the town centre or whatever. I don't know. We've had a long discussion about whether the city... It is a city of Cambridge, isn't it? Yeah.

We're not getting into the whole cathedral chat again. That's for top tier patrons only. if you want to watch that walkabout video it's top tier this month Kaching, we've done you. Top notch as well. Top notch. Top notch content there,

but I'm beginning to feel very tired though. God, same here. We've had a Red Bull and you've had a coffee and I'm not feeling the effect. I know, wow. You know what they used to say as well? Talking of top notch, they used to say about your mum.

What? Top snatch. Thank you. Oh, look at this Iron Baptist Chapel from 1878. Love it. I love the brickwork. Really good. This, though, was laid by JJ Coleman MP in 1877.

And David Niven? Did I say David Niven? Oh, no, David Union. It looks like David Niven, right? It could be David Niven. He was a proper lush, wasn't he? Apparently, here's David Niven's memoirs, like a hoot. Yeah, but also they always say take everything in that with a massive pinch of salt

because he was known to... A fantasist as well. He was known to like every time he told the store, he would add something to it. Which meant that the time he wrote it down in that book, it was probably far from the truth. Oh, I love that church. Really do. Try praying.com.uk. Are you shit and miserable and finances and everything and you're being fucked over?

Try praying. Yeah, it won't work. Because that will fucking solve it. It won't work, but it'll make you feel better for a minute that maybe God cares about you. He don't. He never did. He made the Earth and then fucked off for another galaxy to fuck about. That's basically it, isn't it?

That's what I'm getting at. All God is is a shit entrepreneur. He started up Earth and humanity as a startup, lost interest, sold it off and moved on to another galaxy. That's what I reckon. moved on to create another galaxy yeah right this one hasn't worked out I've sold it off to the fucking the devil the devil

or uh little the green the little green men the aliens and I'm going to move over to start a new planet called mirth do you think aliens have visited Earth I think aliens have not

yes but who knows at this point frankly any aliens that come down and have a look around would be like, what's the fucking point of this? It's like stopping off at a little chef. You wouldn't want to. I would love to stop off at a little chef. I love a little chef. Yeah, but I don't know.

I just get the impression that aliens come past this planet. They fucking see all this shit, and they go, what a dump. Nah. I'm going to move on to Neptune where the cool cats hang out. At least they wouldn't blow it up, like the ones in... What, Independence Day? And Hitchcock's the universe.

Galaxy. The galaxy. And they're called Vogue. If you're interested. All right, so we are heading up to the top of the road just here now, I think, is where the main shopping street is. And we'll have a few more cherry shops to peruse. No, we will, we do. There's a heart foundation one and there's a Oxfam.

It's because I'm 50. Yeah. And we're both out of shape, mate, honestly. So that's why. It's fine. I'm fine with it, really. By fine, I mean, absolutely not fine with things at all. like depressed by the fact.

You should do more exercise. Oh, you should do more exercise? Do. All right, well then. What do you do? I do my press ups every day and I play aeraby twice a week and I do and I walk every day.

Okay. There you go. How come out of how does it work then? I'm not in terrible shape. See this? There's a mind and a forbidden planet and there's a record shopping. I just said it was a natural thing about aging.

It wasn't a, it wasn't about my shape. But let's leave it. That's what I said. He's out of shape and ugly. Right, we're on this street. Which street is this now? Burly. Burly Street. And this is where I think we'll find the next batch of like chariot shops and shit for us.

So are you ready to go? All right, let's move on. Here we go. Yeah, there's a mine. Let's go mine first then. Yeah? All right, let's do that then. So I just want to take a picture before we moved on.

That was all. So let's do that. And then I want to put, oh, there's scope as well. And there's British Red Cross. See what I mean, and there's cancer charity one there. Okay. So we've got a load of shops to go into.

So let's start. Let's do two of them. Do a little recap and then another two and then we're kind of done. I tell you, so we don't buy stuff and give the game away. Well, why don't we just do these two? Mines and British Red Cross.

You go in that one. I'll go in that one. Then we swap. Okay. All right, let's do that then. Great plan. He's off to mine. I'm off to Red Cross.

See you a bit. You did it. I know. Bollocks. I've done Mind. I've done Red Cross. Red Cross, not much, but I did get something that is for me, really, but I might, if I get stuck, throw it in as the list.

Mind, nice selection, but nothing that jumped out. There was a game called the Trey game, which is one of those. Here's a bunch of stuff in a tray, cover it, remember what there was. And it was cute, and it was cheap, but also fiddly and noisy, lots of bits moving around. So I didn't go for it. Now next we've got, oh, there's another British Red Cross. There's a scope, and there's a... cancer research.

And I think there's an RSP. God, there's fucking loads here. So we've got lots to do. So where's Eli? I think he's still looking around British Red Cross, which is fine. But that's where the stand is now. I'm not going to go into scope

until Eli's back, but I'm going to send him. Where do I send him? There's another cherry shop next door. Mate, we are spoiled for choice on this road. We are spoiled for choice. This scope's got stuff in the window. A load of funco pops because Christ Almighty

expect them to fill out charity shops over the coming years, possibly decades. But is Eli coming out? I can see him in Red Cross. He's just looking idly at books and DVDs. But nothing else. Yeah, nothing. He's just chit-chatting.

Looking. I kind of feel like I should just crack on because otherwise I might be waiting forever for him. So I'm going to look at the window for Forbidden Planet then for a minute. Even though all my interests have long since fucking gone. Right, I'm going to stay in the window. Are you all right? What have you been saying like? Nothing just that I went in and there was a nice selection but nothing really jumped out at me.

Okay. Can we have an update on anyone who has farted on you? No one has broken wind. It's still a fart-free walkabout episode which if nothing else is one for the books. I can barely believe it. Right, so this... I can scarcely believe it. There is scope there. Cancer Research. Another Red Cross.

An R.S.PCA and a charity shore next door to that and an Oxfam. Another Red Cross. Shop. Shop. Shop. Shop. Shop. Shop.

So we've got loads. How about we just agreed to meet back here? In half an hour. Half an hour. Okay. So let's look at the time now. Let's say what time is it? 4.30.

All right. Let's say 4.30. Oh, it's 4. Now. Yeah. Okay. Yeah? Where do you want to start?

I'll go outside, Burley, phone, and I'll tell you what, I'm going to go along this side and come back, and you can go along that side and come back, and we'll meet here as well. I said that. Okay. There's all the things I said when I said, sure. All right. So are we good? So meet back in here and half an hour.

You go from right to left. I'll go from left to right. Good one. Good one. The tat hunt continues. Well, what was originally half an hour became basically an hour, because we had too much choice. I could have done longer. Yeah.

That's a huge Oxfam. Two floors. With all those records and bits and bobs and books. And I saw that Who Frame Roger Rabbit Book and I was tempted. It is. It's a nice condition as well. But seven quid just a bit too much. It's a bit too rich.

Part of the problem I had today was quite a lot of stuff I noticed was, I would say overpriced. Like gadgets that looked like nothing, weigh nothing made of plastic. And like here's $4.99. I'm like, what, for an egg holder? You know? And also, the reason why I was so long in that last shop, right? The farting?

Someone farting? If anything, maybe I slit one out and then moved away quickly, so maybe I'm the criminal here. You are? Woman in front of me. So I went and got the thing straight away. The rest of the time was me standing behind this woman

as she said to him, would you like to see my child's photographs of his school day recently? He looks very smart in his uniform. Her grandson. No, no, no, no, child. It was his son. He was like out all his clothes for him.

He only wears what Mama says he were, and I've got this stuff. What is with people just trying to, People are so lonely, aren't they? She was chatting, and he was, like, nodding along. Which shop was this? The other Oxfam? Okay.

But I, she turned around and saw me waiting, and she went, you know, in a rush, are you? And I was like, no, no. I'm still bored and annoyed. Listening to your mumsy middle class bollocks. Yeah. Anyway, do you know what I mean? Anyway, she spent 45 pounds worth of clothes.

Well. That's her prerogative. I guess they, you know, they're like, yeah, she always spent. So I listen to her talk about her. kid. Yeah, but I don't have to do that. No. You know what I mean? I don't, I shouldn't have to be put through that. You should have said, that's some of that. Goofter in the hov. In the hoff. In the hoff. What is the hoffer in the hove? I don't know. Back, spine, coxics. Anything but the fanny, all right, just so you know. Perhaps the hov is the

hov is the hov way between the fanny and the ass. Hovway. What's the gooch? Yeah, but it's another word. Well, hover in the goch. Yeah. Hover. Oh, hovying. No, it's not good. It's not funny either right we're moving on so our plan now is just to wonder because we've just found out that our train's been cancelled so we need a plan B or C I would like to go and see if I can look at the Hall of Residence designed by it will be won't be far from here no it'll be the one designed by Dennis Lazzden who is famous for well have you looked it up I've know about it I've known about it for years no but do you know where it is no I don't but we're going to go for a coffee now and then I'll see and unless it's unless it's you know it's you know it's you know

know, a pain in the ass to get to. Can we go and have a little piquezy? Yes. What it is, it's like a hall of residence made by Dennis Lazden, famous architect who did the National Theatre. Okay. So basically, you don't get bigger. Than a quick fitter.

Bigger. The boys to a trussbaum. Mate, that used to be a record shop just there, by the way. That one that's next to the gantry, the scaffolding. It was a great little record shop now. No, the one next door to it, the one with the shutters down. Well, it might be, it might still be. No, it wasn't because it's, the upstairs was,

of like posters and things and it's all been cleared out you can see the whole thing's been gutted shame because I bought some really lovely albums from there in a fair place back in the day they don't survive and I think the long-fated vinyl revival I think is coming to an end now

you know doesn't bother me I'm starting to sound like the guy in that charity shop he's going to show in your age right so around the corner there might be a charity shop or two but everyone's closing up now

so I don't think we're going to get much. I really need to pee. Well, that's what Starbucks can allow you to do. So we can go and do that. And then we can explore the old town a little bit. Yes. Yes. You can get yourself a coffee.

You're an adult. You can do whatever you want. But our tat hunt is now over. It is now time to have a sit down, have a coffee. And then think about where we go next. Actually, I'm going to have a little look. Yeah, there's nothing up there for us. so we're all good.

We can have a coffee, chill. There's nothing up that way, but we can walk towards the old town if you want to look around. I'm going to check where this... Well, you should do that then, while we got the chance. Yeah.

All right, let's get that daddy gunn get you a coffee. Thank you. Because he's brassic as Eli. Maybe if you didn't spend your time going to middle of class, tent parties or whatever it is you go into. With your yummy mummy family friends.

Whatever, mate. Just boring. Sounds like to sound jealous. Well, all I knew is that All you knew? All I knew. New, new, no, nah, nah. Get a word out, man.

Get a word out, mate. You've just become an old man. That's the sad thing. Let me coffee, please. Oh, yeah, sorry, please. When I say, nah, no, no, old man again. Right, you twat. Those matches are nice.

Right, we grab the coffee. We are now sat in. Well, it's called, like, New Square, I think, this area. It's very nice. Georgian. Yeah. I believe it looks Georgian. to me. Yeah. Nice like uniform row of Georgian houses and they're all in that that grey brick.

It's very pretty and I bet they cost one billion tea pound a month to rent. They're not going to be as expensive as houses in London are they? What was your rent like when you lived out here? About the same as it is in London for a bit more space to be fair but not too much more but enough but uh Christ a lot of green spaces in Cambridge just very nice. Yeah it's That's all, that's to say, I love living here. There's no issue with the place. I just ended up needing to be in London more, so we moved back. But I'm thinking we can go quickly to the old area by the university

if you want to have a look around there. Outside of the thing you're looking up now, which has taken you exactly 35 minutes. I'm looking up. Dennis, last, this, okay, I'm doing it. I'm sorry, I'm feeling a bit. Out of shape, everyone. Out of shape.

I'm tickety-boo. Oh, you're fine. I am, look of me. I'm full of vim and vinegar. Vim and piss and vinegar. Yeah, well, mostly piss. I've got a coffee, I've got my gubbins. You've got all gubbins down there? Yeah, I've got me all gubbins, so if nothing else.

I've hit all of the marks. Yeah, and then some. How much did you spend? Probably like 11. I think I might have spent like £10, 50 pence. Yeah. Which ain't bad. It ain't bad.

I was so close to buying that Roger Rabbit novel. I was really close to buying it. Me too. And then I thought, is it seven? If it was like $5.99, I might have. $4.99, I would have been fine with it, but I don't know. It's pushing its luck. Because I do like, one of the things I'd like to collect are novelisations of movies,

paperback novelisations and movies. I love those. Strictly speaking, this isn't that, is it? It's the other way around. But yes. But I love that too. I've got like Glemlins 2, Wes Craven's New Nightmare, the book of the film, all with little quirky kings to kind of tie it in with the themes of the book, you know?

Yes. Recently novelizations have been. popularised by Quentin Tarantino because he did it for... Because he did it, everyone has to fucking do it. It's like it's been done before. Doctor Who was doing it for years. Yeah, but that's slightly different.

I'm talking about... They would write novels of the TV episodes because you couldn't see them usually on repeat. Oh, that's right. So people like Terran Sticks who wrote for the show was then the writing the novelisation of the script. I'm padded out with better characterisation in things. No, I'm talking more specifically

about novelisations of feature films. That's all. That's my area of interest. Okay. I mean, I get it. You know, you have to go every single episode of... It's like I've got that script book of porridge. You know that you turned porridge from scripts into a novel? Did they? Yeah. Oh yes, I've got that as well. And I give you that. It wasn't the one I get... Yeah, either way. So, we're... A novel conceit, so to speak.

But apparently they are quite collectible. They can be. Yeah. Yeah. Right, look up this place, because we've only... we haven't got much time, mate. That's obviously quite collectible because they put a seven-pound price. on it the Roger Rabbit one. But I don't know if it's worth my time and money to spend it on that. For a book I'll probably half read and then put on a shelf. And I read it years ago anyway.

You did read it. I know of its differences and similarities to the movie, but outside of the basic conceit, they're not that similar at all, weirdly. Right, so we have got... So I don't know if we mentioned this already. Maybe I'll bring it up now. I'll bring it up before, but I bring it up now,

even if you're listening to this, it probably happened two minutes ago. But, yeah, our train's been cancelled, heading back to London. So we need to come up with a plan B and that might just mean getting to the station early asking for help and telling us what train we get. I would like to get a direct one back,

but my gut feeling is we're going to be slapped into the slow poke back to London train that stops it Wimbly on the Grove and Knobesville and Habbily and Gramsford. Nice. And Shabellim. Oh, isn't it? Shabalom.

Yeah, Shabbolome. And Guggedy, buggaddy, boogieoo. and bongston on the honk. You know what I mean? Like those kind of places. Everywhere. But we said on the radio, there's a place just outside here called Trampington.

Literally called Trampington. It was funny as well, because I used to get bollocked all the time working for Star Radio because I never got some of the town names right. Can you tell you if he's going to do the thing? Please get the names of the towns right. It's like, all right, I fucked it up.

And then there were some places which were spelled like Weibden, but actually it's pronounced Hebden or something. You know, it's like, I fucking hate people. No, I don't. People are lovely, I think. Just not a lot of them. Here we go. Right, where are we? It's William College, Cambridge. Where's that then? Why do you just put it into Google Maps? That would have been the quickest way of doing it?

I can't. So where is it then? I'm trying to find it's not that... You see, it's one... Oh, Christ College. You have to swear, mate. I see it goes... Because these are a bit far out, you know? These aren't like completely central. No, it's central.

Oh, is it? That might not be too bad, then. Buildings, here we go. Blah, blah, blah. What's it called the place you're looking for? I don't know, that's the point. But who? Ladsden.

Here it is. New Court, Ladsden Building, known as the typewriter. There it is. I found it. Ladsden Building. It's called New Court. Yeah. The typewriter.

And it's seven minutes from here. Yeah, there you go. So we need to go that way. Can we have a look at it? Yeah. Because that takes us to the old area anyway. Oh cool, that's great. That's all worked out well then, hasn't it? Well, we better get a wig on because we still have to walk back to the station and then figure out our train home.

Oh, fucking can't. Mate, it's up to you. Why, how dare they? How dare they? Specifically, cancelled the quick one back? Is that what it is? Yeah. All the others, we can get, I mean, it improves.

But we're going to end up to wobbly on the bong and I don't want to. It actually improves all our options because we can get this for two earlier. I guess you get off early, yeah. Get off at like near you or something. Yeah, that's true, yeah. We can get off at Finnsbury Park or whatever. It just means adding another maybe like 40, 15 minutes to what, journey home. Yes.

That's the problem. Well, we'll have time to go for all of our stuff. Well, should we get a wiggle on then? Get a wiggle on. That's such a pallism, isn't it? Yeah, good. Do you want to get a wiggle on? No, I don't want to get a wiggle on.

Do you want to wait in my hurry? I want to get a mince. That's not real. So we're going, yeah, we are going in that direction. I would like to get a mince on. Right. Let's mince on over, darling. All right, so we've got to go through that field across the next field

and then head towards Christ College, Cambridge. and then the Grand Arcade. But that will all be closing up soon, so let's have a little look. I don't think we're going to get direct access, because this is a hall of residence. No, but you want to take pictures, right? I don't think you can actually get to it, but you can look behind some other buildings.

We'll see what we can see. Either way, let's get a wiggle on. Get a wiggle on. Thank you. I'm glad you're taking my parlance seriously. Right, let's get a wiggle on. Stop saying that. All right, we'll see you in a bit.

Yeah, there you go. Wank-a. Paws a wanker. What a wanker boy. I got you there before you did. That's what I did. Oh, hello, everyone. It's Paul in the future. Now, for the next, like, 20 minutes, Paul had the level set too high on the hand recorder and didn't notice.

So some of the sounds a little blown out for the next, like, 15 to 20 minutes. He's very sorry and would like to offer you the sweetest of kisses in return for your forgiveness. Anyway, it's fine, it's all right, and then it gets back to normal again after that. So just bear with, all right? Sorry. God, try me best. Oh, God, that one loves me. No one loves me. What we're doing?

Well, once again, Paul fucked up the map stuff, so we went in the wrong direction for a few minutes. And then we took a diversion to go around the old town. A little bit? Just a little bit, because it takes us out of the way a bit too much if we go that way. A lot. I've seen a lot of this here. What?

Bricked up windows. Yeah. You know why? From the tax, the window tax. No. To stop haunted nuns looking in through the window at night. It's true. Every window that's bricked up means that at some point

someone looked at the window and saw like a scary nun looking in. A haunted nun? Yeah, haunted nun. That's not a thing. It is a haunted thing. It's definitely a thing. No, that's what they say to stop the conspiracy. There's a big fucking church here, mate.

Yeah. That's a big one. And there's a church over there. Yeah, there's quite a few, I don't know if you've noticed, but Cambridge is riddled with faith. I'm pretty sure it comes down to the fact that different colleges and schools had their own different churches to attend. Of course, yes. So there's a lot of that going on. They were one in the same sort of thing, weren't they? Yeah, like this one, this is the church's conservation trust place here, and then up there we've got, see, I don't know what that is.

That looks like more on the palace almost, doesn't it? That. I mean, fuck knows. Look, do you see? The master's lodge. It was definitely a university thing. I was just about to say, look at that weird symbol that is carved into the stone there. Oh, that would have been the stone mason.

Yeah, yeah. No, no, no, it would have been like a brand. It would have been like stamped to say. Of their guilt or whatever. Well, it's not like a courty stone mason-mason thing. I think it's just like this is our brand and they've used us for these bricks. Yes, but that's how the, that's how it started. The masons were.

They were like a guild, like a work, a craft guild. Well, it was set up to hand down. the tradesman's secrets down the line and there's like other guilds but masons were stoneworkers yeah but then after a certain point it was like oh bob from the police force can join and harry from the construction and then it became a bunch of place a place for white men to suck each other off do they do that I don't know probably I would be surprised if one knob wasn't sucked in its whole

stone mason existence right Right, let me check where we are. Is it down there? Oh, no. Hang on. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes. Is this Mason Street? Mason Street. Oh, Mason Street. Yeah. It's all the masonic, man. I'm telling you.

All around it. That was a Masonic sign there. As in like, yes, just the trademark. Yeah. So we go down this road and then take a right. Okay. Okay. Because this is interesting to me as well, this modernist thing.

It's just steps, isn't it? But yeah. No, it's this whole structure here. Steps. I don't get it. It's steps. It's just a flat with steps. Yeah, no, that's not.

All right, okay. It's not very interesting. Here you see, you can see it already. Look. Oh, yeah, yeah. Look at that. Oh, well, here we go. We're getting here.

Finally, finally. I get to see some brutalism. As we head towards the corner. You get a better view once we get around the corner. I don't. I don't. Just don't. Just stop being so irritable. You need to eat something.

I've eaten loads. That's the problem. I've eaten loads. Right now, I'm carrying it. Blood sugar. It feels like you've got blood sugar irritability. I mean, I'm just, I'm carrying a load of a lot of botty toffee right now. Again, more body tomm. I can feel it brewing, all right?

And I'm frightened because the journey home's been cancelled and I don't know. Oh, poor. If my long... I'm not going to shit on a train, mate. Never in my day. Is this it? Is this what you think it is? This one. The backside of it. So how do you think we get round to have a better view or is that it?

Because this could be something that's like... This is obviously newer, this bottom bit. But there you see, it's backing onto this. Yeah. Let's try and go round. I mean, that's all we can do. I guess we go around this way then. But I think there's... I remember seeing it when I was on a coach

coming to do the Cheap Show. And I remember being able to sort of look in between two buildings and sort of see it. You can see that. It's classic. Those things almost do. look a bit like parts of the national theatre yeah yeah so they just wedged this different facade front onto it like this new build back side i believe yeah but it looks like they've

slammed it against it yeah i don't like this but you know they might be quite effective buildings oh exactly this definitely looks like something from the 90s or something this bit here though right on the bottom yeah do you want to see if this alleyway noodle bar i know it's almost like this is the city for eli that's what i'm hoping you want to have a look Let's have a little look. Though that looks mighty. Yeah, but that's gated off as well. It looks like you need a code.

Alright, let's go have a look. Yeah, you see. It's a shame, you probably have to, it's there. It's a shame, because we'd probably have to, like, make a range to look at it on stuff. Or it'll be a student and work here and get in with the pass. Apparently, not much to see. The other thing I heard about it, it's a hall of residence,

and it's concrete, because it's brutalist, obviously. Yeah. And, you know, they get those stalactides. Yes. So the rooms that had stalactides were really prized, you know, like if you had it, yeah. Oh, you got the sciatite room, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What's that thing on the water? It's a big daisy.

Staircase 4, 1993. This is all part of this new year, yeah, 93, I knew it, 90s. But the original thing is obviously just sort of nestled in behind there. It's also like a patchwork. Let's have a look. Let's go around the other way. We're going to have to loop around anyway to get back to the station. So after.

we do our best have a look at that I'll be heading back then. Yeah. Sweet. I'm all right. I'm all right. And obviously my concern now is finding a journey home, so... It'll be fine, mate. It will be fine. It's not like I'm afraid of being trapped in Cambridge, I'm just saying... That would be pretty shit if we were.

The worst places we could be trapped. I've got friends who live in Cambridge. You work for the BBC who might be able to help us out and stuff, but honestly, I don't think we're getting trapped here tonight. We could get capped. The worst for worse, couldn't it? Or just, oh no, it would be more expensive to get a cab.

It would be expensive, yeah. So we'll just get any old train back and just pay a disgusting amount of money for it. See, this is just a little carvery muse kind of thing. Well, it's nice all the same. King Street, we're walking down. It's been 13 weeks. It's, uh, I don't know. New menu created every 13 weeks.

Oh, okay, well, that explains it then. That's funny, isn't it? Joloff, rice and jails. Chicken panani. Oh, no. Two bagels, grilled Hulumi cheese with fresh veg. How much? Tenor.

That's good. That's good. You get, you know, two bagels, mature cheddar cheese, grill, bacon, mayo, grilled. Oh, stop. That'd be 20 quid in London. You're hungry. You're hungry. Literally, that triggered me.

That literally triggered me the idea of having a nice bagel with nom-noms on. Oh, we went the real long way around, mate. Christ, we could have just cut through that fucking courtyard and been here. What was all that about? I see if I can glimpse it from down here. I don't think we will, because that's why they build these walls high. Oh dear There's so many Chinese restaurants here

Look at this old cinema up on the right Oh you might get a good look here Well no not really It's behind that So there you go we can't really get in that way It's so annoying Well it really is hard to access Yeah because you can see those stairs there

You can see the stairs of grey concrete Funny huh Funny huh No darko cinema oh that breaks my art when I see stuff like that because you know

imagine back in the 80s you probably queued around the block to see back to the future at that place you know or you went to see the labyrinth with your mum it's that kind of cinema with the shiny white look at that you must love that alleyway

that's a great alleyway up as well that's the piss one in it yeah but look at those little gantrys on by the windows on the top honestly you do get a nice mix of architecture in great Cambridge new and old crammed up against each other that's what i've been enjoying yeah that's a night no take a here nice cinema but i mean that went if you ask me that

went through the whole bingo hall carpet center demolished kind of thing yeah which is a shame yeah evangelical church yeah oh yeah beautiful and do you reckon it's like one of these i was going to say like people live in it to look after it but it doesn't even look like that you know what What? I think they're doing. Probably the fucking evil cunts who own it are probably letting it fall into disrepair. And then they can claim

it's dangerous and we have to demolish it. Do you see what I mean? That's what they do. If they've got some architectural interest or they're listed or whatever. Just weight it out. Fucking cunt. Yeah, shame that.

Right. Eli has kind of sort of almost but not really seen the thing he wanted to see. But we did have a good go. We did. Maybe the time to prove here. Oh, no. No.

It's all very much collegey. It's all collegey for the posh kids who did very well in school. Price College is posh, isn't it? Yeah. It's always on... What, University Challenge? Christ College. We go back to the young ones again.

Ro, rah, raw, raw. We're going to smash the oinks. Brilliant. Right, okay, we're going to start walking back to the station. Yeah, the Lloyd's Bank one. Oh, weird, it says Lloyd's here. It says Lloyd's on the front. It's the same thing, isn't it?

I wonder why they... Established in 1677. Wow. So what, Lloyd started here in 1677, the bank. Noel Edmonds' most hated bank started here. Echo Benny. I don't know who that is. It's there, or Echo Bunny.

Look at this. That's some 60 stuff. That is, yeah. Also, Cambridge is riddled with bus routes. Yes. I didn't even know this when I lived there at the time, but honestly, outstanding public transport services here. Yeah, go for it. We need a couple of pictures and I've been carrying cameras

and bits and bobs, all bloody die. Right, I'm gonna stop doing this so we can walk for a bit without having to make podcast. Good. Right, heading back. You know what, we came here today, Mr Silverman, for Cambridge and some couple of teas, you know, like text, tracks, toys, trinkets.

But actually it's a bit a day of seas. Churches, Chinese, Cambridge, colleges. You know what I mean? It's been a sea word. It's like if this was Sesame Street, today would have been brought to you actually by the letter C.

Not by the letter T, for sure, yeah. And coffee. Oh yeah, coffee? Yeah, we've had a bunch of coffee as well. And charity shops. See? I'm feeling a lot less tired now. There's just such great architecture.

Look at this place here. Yeah, Union Road. Wow. with this really ornate eaves. You're going to let us pass. Cheers. Yeah, I have enjoyed the churches. I'm telling you to an old man.

I think... I think that's just getting old. Yeah. I think he started to appreciate the things you didn't have time for when you were young, you know, and scrappy and like, wanted new and special. Yeah, I know, I've definitely...

I've come to appreciate architecture more as I've got older. Look at these, look at these heads all here. Yeah. That's crazy. It is very... It's the Fitzwilliam Museum. It's being redone.

Oh, is it? Is that right? I mean, it's still an impressive load of, like, busts on the wall. There's a load of bus. They're really very 3D sticking right out of it. I'd take a little shot of one. Yeah, and there's another fucking church on St. Paul's Road, St. Paul's Church and Community Centre. Anyway, we're making our way back to the station.

Britcher sounds there. Are they still a thing? I thought that was another business that had stopped, although it's appointment only. Is it an escape room? No, it's a tattoo parlour. It's got a big graph, stencil sticker thing. It is cool, I like it, but appointment only tattoos. That's an Indian.

God, the food I'm getting the... Yeah, you're getting the horn. I'm getting the food horn. Smashburger. No, I've really enjoyed it, Paul. Oh yeah? And the tat was great and... Load of charity shops more than I think we've ever seen in a concentrated area like that.

I'm looking forward to show you some tat. Yeah. Jordanian food. Right, the middle east. And little Petra, taste of Jordan. There's a little Jordan corner here. Imagine the only person else who's ever enjoyed that? Peter Andre.

Yeah, the little taste of Jordan. Very bitter. Oh, she died, didn't she? No, she's still alive. She just looks like Caleducula now. Does she really look bad with the face? Yeah. So, we are going to need to cross now,

because we're going to turn left at the junction of this road. Can I just look down this alley? Yeah, she can look. We can even go down this alley, I think. Can we walk down here? I think so. It's a little cute little area. It's like trapped in a bubble of time.

It's the grey brick. It's not an alleyway. But this is the nice little area. Residents only. It's a little gated community called Claremont. But imagine it's quiet and... It's really nice, isn't it? An exclusive.

But that wasn't an alleyway, unfortunately. It was just the back of a shop. Although from an angle, looks like fun alleyway. It is an alleyway. It's just a street. It's not a through way, it's still an alleyway. That's another 60s thing.

But it obviously been modified. Yeah. All right, cool. We're off to the station. Catch us when we get there. So when you last heard from us, we were walking towards the station. In that time, we got helped out by some lovely Cambridge train staff who advised us to just get on the train we're on now,

which is a direct train to Kings Cross that left at what, 740 something. what, 740 something? 42. Platform 8, 742. So as a result, we are now racing back for half an hour ahead of schedule and I think we're going to be all right. No one asked us for a ticket on the way up, did they?

Usually you get. Did not. So, not that it's going to be a problem because, as I say, we've got lots to defend ourselves with, but if there's a fight going to happen, mate, you know, put it up to be dukes. We've got the truth on our side, which is that cancel.

That train is cancelled, so whoever does give us a hard time, hypothetically, would be able to see the fact that our train was cancelled. And then we can only say we were giving it advisement to take this train. So it once again is upon you, Anglia Rail or whatever it fucking is. Hey, polytunnels. Oh, just as I go to turn the train goes by, so I can't see it. Now I can see it. Is that where you grow your weed?

Or strawberries. Or strawberries, yeah. Strawberry. So anyway, we're on the train. We're going to do our tat off at King's Cross. We're going to find a place to do it there because honestly, there are too many lovely people here for me and Eli to have yet another ugly arguments in public.

So we're not going to do it on the train, but we will, when you hear us next, be getting our tat out for the lads. We're going to do my tat, then your tat, then tat volation, tat tat, tat, tat, t' t'abas. Aitabat. O'ah. That's all we've got.

So we're just going to enjoy this journey. So we're going to let us chill. So let us chill. We can't perform for you all the time, you bastards. Start with abuse and with abuse towards the listener. Put a little bit of abuse in the middle as well just to, you know, even it out. Okay. I love you all.

See you soon. When we'll be doing... The thing you say as well, I say, see in a bit and you say, love you all. I know. I do know. Yeah, because you needy. You can get it from you more dad. All right, okay.

Right. We'll be in Kings Cross soon. Cheap Show train addendum. This is Paul Gannon speaking. I'm going to show you this now because if I don't, I will forget. Because I've just, yeah, because I want to give you this. Yes. This isn't part of the tap.

No, this is not part of the tap. This is something for you that was sent to us, and I've already picked the bones of and you're getting the scraps, but there are plenty of scraps for this. It's a fish? Yes. Of course it wouldn't be a fish. No, it's not a fish. However, I wanted to get it now because if I don't, I will forget.

And I've got to, anyway, look, here it is. Someone, this was sent to us by a goblin, gobble, gobble, chobble, chobble, who sent us the thing last week. Goblin Chowdough? No. Cheeky goblin. Chunky goblin. Anyway, look at it's him. Anyway, thank you. He sent us basically these.

Poor bad pin badges. You've picked over all of these. Yeah, not too many, to be fair. The ones I took were a Sega Saturn logo pin badge, a Cilanzalot pin, and a pair of, like, Dracula's teeth, which I'm going to give to someone I know anyway. Anyway, the rest of it is all up for you to take... I love all of these. Yeah? Not all of them.

Pudsy, golden pudsy I'm not that into. That's a good one. They're right. Or the big... I've already got this one in fact. Yeah. You've got... Let's go through them.

Yeah. They're all pinned in so you can't... That's fine. I can hand pin. I just want to closer look at this one. Okay. It's a shield of some sort. I'm not sure if that's like Game of Thrones or Harry Potter, but it's something like that.

I think it's Harry Potter because there's that Hogshead thing. Ugh, okay, fine. It'll go on the board, whatever. Yeah, fine. God, there's a lot of Harry Potter tat in this world. Don't take him off. I'm not going to. No, I'm not.

Then we've got a pink Cadillac. Yeah. That's nice. I like that one. 50s pink Cadillac. Yeah. Some kind of Amazonian frog. Yeah.

I like that badge. Yeah. It's a good one, isn't it? It's like a yellow and silvery pig. The big one. Frog? Sorry, I don't know why I said pig. Freak.

Frog. I just want to turn this with a little bit. Sounds different, isn't it? Then we have this one that I said I already have. It's the big one, R&D-O-7, Red Nose Day. 2007. And it's got a nice shimmer. Background, the metallic red background.

Yeah. The lettering, actually. Then you have a rose. Is that the Welsh football team or something like that? Can you see the lettering? What is it said? British Red Cross. Ah, I didn't know they're used to Rose as one of their symbols.

No. But then it could be quite an old pin. I thought they used the cross. Well, yeah, but... Why would you have a... Oh, weird. This is very nice. I had to look that one up.

18... 18... 15, isn't it? Yeah. Do you know what it is? World War I. Because that was 19. Oh, yeah, of course, sorry. This is a badge to commemorate 100 years of the Battle of Waterloo.

But didn't the First World War broke out in 1814? No, the First World War broke out in 1814. No, the First World War was 1914. 14. Yeah, okay. It's weird how it's 100 years after the Battle of War today. Give or take. That's a nice little badge.

So it's a little pin to commemorate war, a loop. I was defeated, and you won the war. And then now, but then the massive World War was starting when they came out. I was talking about Abba, though. That's quite old then. That's from 1915. I mean, apparently, based on what I found online. This badge is over 100 years old.

I don't know. Crazy. Crazy. Then, as mentioned, we have a golden Pudsy. Which I think is quite nice. I've got one of those. Anyways, I put it there. Pudsy is the mascot of children in need.

A BBC charity to raise money for children who have needs. Are they in them? And they have them and in them. Then I have a turnip. Or radish. I think it's a radish because it's deep red. You're right, it's not a turnip at all. It's a radish.

Oh, radish is pretty red. That's a turnip for the books, isn't it? Yes. Radishes are red, yeah. Yeah, but our turnips are sort of pinky white. Yeah. So it's a radish, everyone. It's a radish.

It's a radish. Then we have a cartoon, yellow cartoon, airplane. Yeah. A bit like Jimbo. Then we have a sparkly bejeweled palm tree. I like that one. Yeah.

Big red tomato. Lovely. A rabbit in a cloud dress. Something like that. A mushroom. I like that one as well. It's a Super Mario mushroom. Is it a one-up or?

No. It's just a general. Super Mario. And lastly, Holland. And you've got a little red heart. And a red heart. And a Holland bear shield as well. Thank you very much.

Chubby Gobble. Something like that. It's Gobble Gobble. It's something like that. We should have brought the paper now. And we know the person's name as well because they put their name. It's Clive or something.

Because they sent us stuff last time. Yeah. Anyway, they know who they are. Sorry. We love you. Chubby Goblin, thank you. So there you go. They're yours.

Thank you. I have them all. I only take a picture off and first, or other than that, yeah, good job. So there you go. Now, I've had them for two weeks, these bloody pins, and I keep forgetting to give them to you. So there you go. They're all yours.

Cheers. Back to the relaxing train journey. Eli and I have now reached King's Cross, and we've decided to stroll into an area of King's Cross called Coal Drop Yard, or Coal Drops Yard, actually, drops, which used to be all kind of like industrial back in the day, right? Literally where the coal were came in to fuel the Industrial Revolution, my friend. Last time you were here, you dropped some coal off of your own, didn't you? Yes, but I didn't need to drop the coal off today. It's kind of nice. It is a bit sort of like high-end stuff, but...

New, modern, posh, expensive, so we're only sitting here to do it. It all down and turn it into an ugly mall. They've used the existing architecture, which is kind of cool, isn't it? No, yeah. No, it's fine, but like it's not a shock where we're going to pick up something cheap. Put it that way. This is basically the disappeared... neighbourhood of St Pancras.

Used to be back here, which was all industrial, all where they, you know, used to shoot the chase scenes in the Sweeney or whatever. That's all disappeared now. But instead, we are here to finally reveal one another's tat to one another. Eli's going to go first. He's going to show me his items,

then tell me the price, and then I'll do the same, and then we'll both, like mature adults, discuss who did best. Who got closer to 10 pounds, me? Yeah, but that's not the rule, though, was it? There was no rule that said, the closest to 10 pounds wins.

Because I would argue, the one who spent less than 10 pounds probably wins, and that's poor. But anyway, mature adult conversation between two friends who had a lovely day out in Cambridge. Let's not spoil it by me calling you a rancid gobshite in public. Wait, I haven't finished. Finishing. Please.

It's going to end with you. You are. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. I am now. Well, you could be if you don't behave. Shut up. Your Winkle smithing pod, pod boss, bock, knob, hold. All words didn't come out. Winkelsmithing. Winkel smithing pod?

That's what you are. Yeah, Winkle... Nice. Alright, anyway. I'll take that. Yeah, good. Right, he's got his coffee. He's ready to go. Item number one, Mr. Silverman. Oh. Yeah, I tell you what, this is a better way of doing it.

You get it out and I'll have a look at it. This is a little Mickey Mouse tin. Mickey Mouse tin. It is a, what is it, octagon shaped tin, eight sides? Yes. Yes. Octagonal shaped tin, Mickey Mouse. Lovely, nice, you know, generic art. Yes, it's embossed. I can feel Mickey's face. I'm getting pictures on our website, by the way, if you want to look at the faces on the sides. And Instagram. Pluto, Pluto, is that dog? What's that dog called? Pluto.

Mickey. Another one. Goofy. Upside down, goofy. Yeah, get it. It's important. Get it. Yeah, because he's goofy. He's goofy. He's goofy. Mickey again. Mini Mouse. Not mini mouse. What's the... Daisy Duck. Daisy Duck. Mickey. So neither a mouse. No, I've got that completely wrong.

And then Donald. And then we're back to the beginning again. That is the absolute core Disney characters, isn't it, basically? It's also like their core drawing style. None of the modern stuff. It's all very traditional. It's quite cool, isn't it? For a quid, not bad. It was chocolate.

Yeah, I was going to say, what is it? It's chocolate. I just to say exactly, but it was chocolate. But that's lovely. How much a quid? Yeah. For a quid, that's all right. That's not bad, is it? That's all right. I saw a lot of cool tins that went for a lot more.

Where did you get that one from? From the first shop we went into. Oh, okay, yeah. I mean, that might have been the best shot we went to full stop the whole day. What does that count in the RT's? That is a trinket, is it? It's a tin. Trinket tin, I'm going to give it.

All your items in the tin? No. Oh, okay. Oh, item number two, pause. Have a look. You gets it out, and it is a troll. As of the DreamWorks film, is it DreamWorks? Is it DreamWorks? I don't know, but it's the animated movie troll keychain.

It is... Those existed as toys before the recent movie franchise, right? Trolls were huge in the 70s. And they were like one of those things, which was just a toy. It wasn't a... It wasn't a cartoon show, it wasn't a... I think it... I mean, it might have been a toy,

but it was very much like a kind of, you know, hallmark card kind of thing. You bought it in those kind of shops. Yes, he did. And traditional toy shops. More of an ornament than an actual... We were sold in, like, car. Hard shops and things like that.

Isn't that funny, though? So it's not really a toy. It's not like a figure for children to play with. It was more of like an ornament, a funny ornament to have on your desk or something. I don't believe they had play sets, but one of the things they did have was, like, the gimmick was they were good luck.

You could rub their tummy and stroke their hair and it'd be good look or something like that. But now it's just movie corporate designs. This is very much an IP item. For all I know, that's Justin Timberlaker you're holding there. There's the voice. This is a turquoise troll wearing a Hawaiian shorts and a vest top and has a very bright.

blue nose, blue hair, and it is one of those. Keychainy things, yeah. No, these are different from keychain. It's a charm, it hangs off your bag, charm, but they've got something, but they're really big, popular with the kids, these things. Yeah, well, that's good. How much is that?

A quid. Great, two quid down. What's next? Oh, I used to have, mum used to have these. A little porcelain, head jog. It's not a ceramic. A ceramic head jog. A quid.

They've got a textbook. They've got a name. the manufacturer. Oh really? Can you see what it says? It's got... Does it say something? Hang on.

If it did... It's a logo. It's very... I mean, I'll take a picture later and show you, but right now, I can't say what that says at all, unfortunately.

It's a big spludge. It's like one of those brand names because you get the little dogs. There was that fox on another episode of Cheap Show. Remember the fox that was six quid? And you were like, fuck off!

That was overpriced. But I think there's, like anything in this kind of area, I think so. Certain figures are rarer than others and people are into them. But I just like, that's a cute little hedgehog, isn't it? No, again, I think even my mom or my nan shelf was festooned with those back in the day. And that's bring me a little bit of nostalgia joy, so I like that.

Okay, so what are we on now? That's one, two, three quid. Three items, three quid. Now, this is where I made my mistake, and this is what actually brought me over the 10 quid mark. Really? Why? If you don't mind me you're describing it. It is an eraser, but it's an eraser that looks like the front of a car. So the grill.

Christine or something. Yeah. It looks like the... It's something that's been snapped off it. That's right. So it looks like the top of the car's been snapped off. Which is to shame, isn't it? A little bit.

But it's fine as it is. It was 50p. Oh, that's not pretty bad. That's not the worst crime ever. So 50p for that. I'm happy. No complaint to there. Next. I haven't actually opened this.

Oh, I've got one of them. What amused me about this item, describe it to them. Well, I tell you people exactly what is it's a Japanese magic tree. a Japanese magic trick. The idea is it's a doll, a wooden doll that dances around and then collapses, but then with a hidden string, you can make it all rejoined into one thing again. So it's a party piece, stroke, kind of low-level magic trick. Right. Wait, oh. Yeah, it's all going to fall apart. You need to, you need to attach it. Because it's like fin string, like magician string, so you're not meant to see it. So the idea is,

you have it off to the side, you pull it and make it dance, but it all falls apart. But if you pour the string, they all joins back together again. So yeah, it's one of those traditional, I believe. It's a lot better quality than I thought it was going to be. Yeah, it's wooden painted quite nice. It needs to be wood, so it works, basically. What really got me, though, was the... Box.

The copy on the box. What was it saying? Small a wooden man. Small a wooden man. Where my sunglasses? No, it does say that. It says, small, a wooden man. The complete set of products include

the life of the wooden magic. effect description, the small wooden man cannot be broken to kill the cute, cute little wood. This is an interesting and unique magic trick combined with traditional Japanese toy. It acts as if the audience are watching cartoons. Even it were knocked down and collapsed, it would magically return to state. There you go. So that's a lovely thing, I'll be honest with you. It's not bad for 99P either.

99P is good for that. Honestly, I've seen people do massive rip-off jobs and try and sell those for 20 quid online. Really? Because it's a magic trick sort of thing. It's very much a toy more than a matter. It's a toy more than a trick. But the illusion's quite good if you can get it working. Oh, really? Yeah.

Okay. Well, maybe we'll do that some other time. Yeah, we can do it on a CheapShott's video maybe. So that's... A toy, I guess. Fine. All right. What else are we got?

I don't know. You got it. Okay. So so far, a wonderful collection of Tart. Textbook stuff for Cheap Show. Talking of text. Yeah. Here is my text item.

This is... Let me just get this off because I want to look at it. Who's Edward Gory? I don't know. know who that is. The helpless doorknob a shuffled story by Edward Gory.

Now, he's a famous illustrator. Okay. This looks kind of almost handmade. Oh, it's not, I guess, but it costs nine quid originally. But, yeah. And it was from the Edward Goury Sheffield Story.

Richard Booth's bookshop. Oh, Shuffled Story. Richard Booth, thank you. Yeah. So, what it is, is a bunch of cards with little bits of the story on, and you can show. shuffle them up. Kind of like story dice, I guess.

And it rearranges the whole story. So as I've got it here, it says another outdoor garments turned up in a guest room closet. Arthur's, outdoor garments. A disguised person came to one of the side doors.

Agatha peddled to the neighbouring village for help. See, some of these stories must work better than others. This one, not so much. But honestly, it's a lovely thing to be fair. It's frightening, isn't it? And I Again, that might be something we do in a cheap shot going forward as a laugh. It's kind of a nice quality item, and I like cards.

Yeah. And so it affected, it appealed to my collectors. Do you know me? Yeah, I like things that are cards. The possibilities for enjoying Edward Goury's The Helpless Doorknob are nearly endless. As Gory himself explained in the original edition, the shuffle story is made up of 20 cards. Each can be read in, well, Christ.

Two, I can't even read that number. 2.4-3-2.9-0. 0.69.736.6.6.640000. Different ways of shuffle and read. There's a lot. That's how many permitations. That's what it says in the back. There's no points. That's just a comma.

No, no. I said point, yeah, but I... No, point is decimal. Do you see? It's a massive number. Either way, it's a big number. Point would be a small number. Either way, it's a big number. We got the gist of it. It's a big number situation. It's a huge number of combinations. I like that.

Yeah. But it's, I mean, it's just like, it's, the combination thing is a bit of a gimmick because any deck of 52 cards has more than the atoms in the universe combination. True. But with this, what I would say is it's good for like explaining storytelling devices I think to kids and like flow and structure and how you can. It's a nice little item. It's like you're building the narrative in between the cards if that makes sense, right? You're joining the dots yourself, Mento. I guess so. The illustrations are nice. All black and white etchings style. And also the other thing I think is nice about this is that

It is a creation of Edward Gory himself. You know what I mean? It's not something that they've taken part of some of his work and made something out of a game out of later on. It's not like they've got up a bunch of Garfield strips and turned it into a game, yeah. He's designed it himself. So that's quite a nice item.

That's my text item. Right, nice. Was that a quid as well, did you say? Two quid. Oh, okay, okay. Not bad. Not bad. It's not a good from new and it is new.

Yeah, two quits not about coming from nine. I'll give you that. All right. Now I've got a second toy. I'll just hand them to you. I know what this is. My most expensive item today. Oh, it's not what I thought at all, actually.

Oh, okay. For a minute, I thought that was a character from Zelda, but it's blatantly not. It's a... Hey Dougie. Oh, no, Hey Dougie's a cartoon show, in it? Is it? Yeah, so this must be one of the characters from Hey Dougie.

It looks like a stick with big eyes. It's a leaf. It is a stick. I like... He talks. Dik, Dik, Dik, Dik, Dik, Dik. I mean, this is the best one of the whole show. This is worth it.

I don't know. I've never seen it, but I like it. How do you know it's a cartoon? Because I remember Hey Dougie from watching like interstitials on TV channels. Yeah, it's good. It's been like the fish shop song thing, isn't it? Thankfully, not as loud and maddening. That's a lovely thing, though.

I like that a lot, a lot. These are like part of it. Yeah, it's like the branch. You like that? Yeah, a lot. Fun. But how much was that? Three.

Okay. Three is acceptable. That's my most. So we add up all the items so far. 3. 1 pound for the tin. 1 pound for the troll. 50p for that. So that's 3, 4, 5, 50.

Another quid for this. 6. 50, 7, 50, 8, 50, 950. Oh. And then your last one. Is my track. Okay. Oh, sounds of the sea by Ribina.

That's cool. Oh, it's a flexi. Yeah. Oh, mate, yeah. Look. Oh, it's an Aspel. Aspel's in charge. All right, we're going to come back to this on another representative cheap show.

We have to listen to it, yeah, because we have to listen to it. It's some electronic sounds and BBC sound effects. I love that. They use BBC sound effects, but it's obviously a commercial thing because it says... It's been licensed, obviously. There's no other mention of Ribina. It's just set the word ribina on it. Do you think it was like a giveaway?

Like, if you collected eight to talk... It must be. Look, yeah, tokens. They've not tried to theme it. with Rybina at all. Do you see what I mean? There's no... Part of the deal must have been,

oh, Rybina, we'll do this, the logo on it, send it off, great stuff. I love that. The Flexi looks like it's in reasonable condition, double-sided. Oh, that's rare as well. You know, you really see double-sided flexes. It's double-sided.

And it's for the Save the Whale Fund as well. Okay. That's a lovely thing. What year is it, does it say? Seven... Does it say there? No, that's the catalogue number. Catalogue number. Oh, look at the first page.

Okay. I will. Like what's on the bottom corner there? That's where it says, look, they say some electronic effects. Do you see that? Yeah, shanties as well. Oh, there's some shanties on it. Some fucking good shit on this.

Doesn't give you a date, but I would say late 70s, early 80s, by the looks of things. Mate, that is a cracking selection. So altogether, what was that again? $0.99. So we're going to take all the 99s off. That was 99. That's one off. That was 99, and that was 99.

That's 3P off. So total, it came to 10 pounds. and 47p. Great. Now it's time for Gannons go. Parties, money as the time you may have been bound for them parts, sure. Which it ain't. It's Michael Aspo.

And I'm down here at Southamton waiting to welcome you aboard our ship the Bonaventure. So watch your step. We're about to start on a long sea voyage, you and I, maybe 20,000 miles. A voyage it'll take us to Africa, across the Atlantic to South America, and round Cape Horn, which is pretty rough and don't say I didn't warn you. Up through the Pacific, past North America to the Arctic, Greenland and back by way of Scotland. I'm ready for anything, and I hope you are a good sailor. And we're away.

The tides are right, and soon there'll be just us and the ocean. Gannon's go, Gannon's go, and I'm quite, can I say I'm quietly confident about this stuff. Not that it's going to win, but I'm quietly confident that I bought a load of stuff. You have bought a load of stuff, and it's good. So I'm going to start off. You said you only go up to 7.5. to yourself. Well, you know, spoilers, thank you for that. I'm going to cut that out, actually. You said it before?

Did I? Yeah. Oh, in that case, I won't cut it. I'll just be smug. Right. Okay, so I'm going to start with the small things, right? And then, uh, yeah, all right, so where's the first small thing? Because I want to make sure. Okay, here is the first thing. Obviously, oh no, that's not, that's not involved. That does an RSPCA badge I bought. Sorry. Yeah.

Yeah. P-E-S-A. P-S-A. There is a pin badge. That was meant to be my first item. Hang on. He's having a shuff, shuff. He's having a rummage and a shuff in his bag. Here it is. He's got it. Here you go.

Elo, what do you think of this? Here we go. It's a little pin badge. One pound. The Eeras Tower, and then there's a telephone tour. Sorry. It's too dark. I need my glasses.

The Euras Tour. It's a ticket. Yeah. It's got a code number and then it says admit one and it's sort of old-school ticket shaped. What was the Euras Tour? Like, part of it wants to say, like, is it like, Madonna or something? Something? Is it?

I don't know. But why would you not have her name on that? No, I know. Let's have a look. I'm going to have a look. It's a nice badge. It is, isn't it? A nice little badge.

It was a quid. I got that from the first charity shot we went to as well, though. Oh, look, there's a little musical note in the corner. That would have suggested that maybe it was a... ERA's tour, oh, is the sixth concert by the American singer Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift. In 2003, that was from. Isn't that weird?

How people are so into her and into it. Well, not that particular fan. They handed the pin in. Well, that's one less Swifty in the world. It's a replica of that. Why was this pin made? For all, for merch when you go to see the live show. I know, it's like you'd have to be a

swiftie to know. Well, that's the important one, isn't it? Because I don't know. I don't want to be associated with it. I'm just taking me pin back before you nick it. I'm not going to nick your RSBC a pin badge. But that's a lovely little pin and I like it. Because out of interest, Eli,

cheap show pin, the episode 500, which you could buy at the live show, will be also in a similar ticket style. That is, you're right, yes. So, ha, ha, ha. Right, so that was the first one, one quid. Good. Nice, yeah.

Nice to have a badge because that's your kind of trademark item. Now, I guess this is a trinket or a toy. I've got two of these. The badge can be a trinket. I guess so. Right, here's the next one. What do you think that is? Because I'm not actually sure myself to be fair.

It's a little penguin ball character. 50p, good price. I think I saw these. Can I try and price? Is it open? Yeah, but I don't know what it does because it looks like the teeth chatter, but I couldn't get it to do anything.

Oh, yeah, their mouth. Oh, yes, it does. Oh, what do you do? There's a tongue in there. What does it do? I put my hand on the tongue. And then there's a... You know what I can do?

Google lens it. I'm going to Google lens it. It's weird because it wants to clasp, but it's just a strange thing. Hang on, yeah, give me... I'm going to hold it there. Right, I'm asking about it. This is Orion's World.

pecker peck gobsmacks character ball I don't know what it's meant to do but there's a load of them because there's a load of them see there's like that one is it a penguin or a whale or oh it's a McDonald's thing

it's a happy meal toy we love those aren't we Pocket Watch Ryan's World gobsmacks red titan that's the whole sentence full of things I don't know about I mean I know Ryan'swell that's some kid who reviews toys right

it's got a nice ergonomic yeah but I don't know what it's meant to do that's proper tat That. Yeah. Maybe it's just a toyetic thing. You just...

Why won't it open cleanly? Is there some kind of catch that makes it pop open? I don't know what it does. You can see the tongue in there. I think it's just like a fidget toy. I think it's just a fidget toy thing. Yeah, I don't know. There's a load of them.

Anyway, that's that one. Okay, nice. I like it. Right, next. I like Happy Meal things. I was trying to keep my eyes out for more of those Burger King, Happy Meal Universal Monster Toys. Right, next one, this one.

Oh, I almost bought this. I know you'd like it. Yeah. This is cool, isn't it? This was really cheap at 50p as well. This is a little anthropomorphized glass with creamy, fruity stuff in. It's one of those jam jar drink kind of, you know, trendy hipster things.

Yes, mason jars. Yeah. Yeah. It's like a mason jar, but it has a handle, and it has feminine, little eyes at the front and some actual liquid inside, which is kind of cool. Looks like spunked, doesn't it? It does look.

It looks like I spunked. It looks very much like... Creamy up, creamy good. That's a nice item. I almost bought that myself. You know, I actually genuinely like that. Right. It's funny how you see something and then you...

And then the other guy get actually picks it. I literally bought it thinking if I don't get it, Eli will and I want it. Right, okay? I passed. I passed. Here's my... Well, I've actually got two tracks, I guess, for this, but this is the first one. This is more for me than the show, but I wanted it.

It's a CD. everybody and this is Manson. Little kicks. Little kicks. Is that their first LP? No, it's either the second or the third. I can't remember. Wide open space was Manson. How did that go? Oh, I'm not going to sing it. In a wide open space. I'm just lifting.

They're sort of mainstream. Never get to heaven. Grungy 90s from near the Whirl. They're more poppy than other grunge bands though. Maybe, but I wouldn't say anything they do is broadly poppy. It's kind of, grunge became pop, didn't it for a few years? I mean, it's Brit Pop. via, like, garage music, kind of.

But it's all very... I mean, I love Attack of the Grey Lantern, which is their first album. It's, like, in my top 10 of all time. I did not know you were a fan of Manson. But I've never heard this album, and everyone goes, oh, actually, little mixes is the better album. Oh, I see.

Okay, great. But I have yet to... But it was 50p, so I thought, you know, no risk. CDs are dirt cheap. They're giving them away now. I mean, I could have just listened to it on Spotify, actually. But I've got the CD now. So I've got that.

That was just for me, but that was 50p. Yeah. That's good, I reckon. Right, next. Get to the end of it. The other track, please. No, I'm saving that till last, because I think it's apropos. Here's the text.

It's a book. I've got two of these, actually. Lock, stock and barrel. Not smoking barrel, which is the guy. Oh, the guy Richard's got a new one out. Yeah, in the great. And it's supposed to be, I saw a good review. It's just a kind of Mission Impossible heisty thing.

I mean, that's his kind of... Like everything he does these days. That's what he kind of is good at, though, isn't it? It's because Amazon and Netflix keep throwing in money to make stuff you forget about a week after you've seen it, a day after you've seen it. So Statham once he did on Netflix was terrible, man.

I checked them up recently. He's done like 10 films in 10 years, and I couldn't tell you. I mean, I know they all star Henry Cavill and Jason Streatham. Statham. He got money. That's what it was.

So this is Lockstock and Barrel, familiar sayings and their meanings. Great. Perfect cheap show father. Guys, we always argue about this shit, don't we? Shall I pick one at random? Baker's dozen. A baker's dozen contains 13 items as opposed to the familiar 12.

This dates from the time when bakers were subject to heavy fines if they served underweight bread. Bread with anorexia. You're moving on. I'm moving on. I'm never moving on. To avoid this danger, bakers provided a surplus number of loaves. The 13th loaf in the dozen being called the vantage loaf.

The vantage loaf. I've done a vancy's loaf. Yeah, that's excellent. It's typical great cheap show stuff. Pan out, paraphernalia, palming off. I know where that came from. What's paraphernalia? What's the word?

Oh, okay, I'll read it out. Paraphernalia. At one time, paraphernalia had a special meaning for married women. Weird. For it was the legal term that covered their personal possessions, which could not be legitimately claimed as their own, since they were not part of the dowry paid to their husbands at the time they were married.

The word is formed of two Greek words, para besides, and phanea, which means dowry. Oh, that means dowry? Yeah, and these days, paraphernalia covers a wide range of personal possessions or apparatus and no longer applies exclusively to married women. I did not know that. Absolutely did not know that at all. This is a proper investment in Cheecho-HQ.

That's good. That's good facts. Right, next book. Look at this bugger. Vampire, with her why. The terrifying lost journal of Dr. Cornelius Van Helsing. What the fuck is this? How much is this? How much is this?

One pound 50, look. Why? I don't know, but I'm not complaining. This is a proper sort of coffee table style. No, it's better than that, because it's got like, it's got lenticular, it's got pop-up, it's got little envelopes and letters.

Ah, this is excellent, mate. What's it all about, about Bram Stoker's Dracula? Yeah, it's like if it was real. Helsing was real, this was his scrapbook. I don't want, I'm just going to get damaged in the winds, but I don't want to... It's all right. But every page is full of, like, his research, things about the book.

And little things you can play with, little toy attic. There's a lenticular. Yeah, lenticular. A wolfman. It's a wolfman. But that's not Dracula, that's Wolfman. No, but the were Wolfmen in. Oh, no, Dracula turned into a wolf in the original book.

Did he? Yeah, of course. He's a werewolf as well as a vampire. He's a shape-shifter. Yeah, he can turn into, like, snakes and smoke and all sorts. But it's funny that he did turn into. into a wolf but then there's a whole other sort of separate monster myth which is

the wolf man. But that still comes from the same kind of European village folklore so it's all much of a muchness. I love a lenticular me. The charity shop around the corner for me has Jesus and his family. Massive land. It's 20 quid but it's like a big lenticular. I don't know like posing or something. And look there's a little flap you can pull and look there's Dracula or actually

that looks more like Nostferatu that one. Oh look he's coming along and there's a wolf I like this. This is great. great quality. Isn't it? I was so surprised that this was £1.50 because it's huge and in really good condition. Spells of protection there? How does that open? I don't know. I mean honestly I'm looking at this at the first time with you. Oh. Oh. It's like a little thing fold out. Do you know there was a Monty Python book that had a bunch of little things, little inserts like this as well? Books, I love books like this. They're just much more fun and engaging, you know?

Do you know what? I forgot something. What? A little bit of, it's made me think. Look, in my sounds of the sea, look at this little note that was a in there. Homerton College, Cambridge. Don't know what year, but it says, not having obtained on the first pressing, sufficient numbers of records to meet all of our needs, we've had to order a second pressing. We regret, due to folks beyond their control,

that the quality of the second batch is impaired and the labels are unprofessional. Wow. So they must have made this, and this is part of the second batch. Do you think so? I imagine so. But the label's fine here. Why is that unprofessional? I find out. We can play and find out.

The label is unprofessional. Not the sound. Very strange. That's what it doesn't say, the quality of the... I don't know if that refers to this disc, I'm not sure. Well, we'll find out. Anyway, that's a lovely... That's from the editor.

Yeah. I love that, though, because that's a nice little bit of character. I know. We love this. So that's what really sold me on this. I mean, I would have got it anyway. I love this, London Herald and the Highgate Vampire and shit. Look, there's newspaper cuttings and books.

This is excellent. Another pulley thing. It's just full of fucking... This is awesome. This is the best thing I've got to. there I reckon. Doctor you have here that'll be Renfield or whatever's name isn't it? Yeah. Cornelius Ambrose Van Helsing is that his name? I guess I hadn't really thought about it. Have you ever read the novel? Yes but not for a while yeah but I thought it was like

oh he's on the gauge. Oh what's that? That's like a jump scare built in. Oh it's a little it's a little note. It's a little note what is it like a money yeah cool that folds in there for one pound 50 this is a great fine. Does it have the original prize? I wonder on the back. Oh yeah, I wonder what it is. Stick that in. Stick that back in. Okay, don't want to damage this.

No. No, so who knows? Maybe the inside cover. Yeah, who knows? I wonder where it came from. What company? What year? Carper Hollins, Harper Collins.

Children's book, Carper Hollins. Jesus Christ, I'm tired. Right, and that's not even the last item. No. This all came to 750. Yes. What the fuck? I'll go through the numbers in a minute.

Here is the last item, Eli, for you to enjoy. What's this? This is one of those sound effect record, city and traffic, but this is that Judd guy, isn't it? Oh, maybe, I don't know. City Transport and Traffic by EMI sound effects. Oh no, it's EMI, but I love these little seven-inch sound effects ones. What we got, Journey in a train car.

Tram. In a tram car. We're both tired and we'll get old. Blind and it's going dark. Tram car passing traffic. City street traffic. Bus stopping. Bell ringing.

Ding, ding. Thank you, drive. That's a nice thing, mate. So that was a quid. So let me just go through the numbers, just so you can understand what I did today and what I bought. So the vampire book was £1.50.

The traffic record, one pound. Oh, and there's one more thing. I've got one more thing. I forgot. This is a game called Drench. And basically, you fill it with water and you roll a dice, and then it tells you how many times

to pull the cat. It's like one of those squirty games. Russian roulette-style games. But it's in a big fake... This one is damaged. soda tin. Yeah, a little bit. It's a cool look. And we could definitely do that on a... Yeah. And we get wet. It's weird.

Oh, those are the dice. So it actually opens up, does it? Yeah, it opens up the top here somewhere. I like those ice cube. Yeah, the ice cube dice are cool. I'm open, there's only two. I mean, I presume there is. Yeah, and they've got letters. So that, you roll those and that's how many times you did the thing. Yeah. Okay, but that's... Have you got the rules? We could probably find them online.

I'll find them online. I think they're even on the side of the tin, actually. Is that it? I can't believe you got so much. Yeah, so let me go for the numbers again then. So yeah, vampire book 150. Okay, I'll add them up as you go along. Traffic record, one pound. 2.50.

Quench, that thing you just looked at, was £1.50. Manson... Manson... Oh! It all blew away. Christ! Thank you. Oh, oh God.

Oh, the receipt. It's all gone wrong. It's all gone wrong. Christ. Thank you so much. Oh God. Hold on to the stuff. I didn't know it was going to be vast.

It's bad. Why can't we ever just do something? It's fine. It's all just blown away. I've got it back. Put it back in the bag. It's all in. I'm putting my stuff.

Stick it all in. Oh, stick it all in. That went everywhere. Nice lady help though, so that's all right. Right, hang on. It stinks of bad. beer in this corner as well. Yeah, because people are probably pissed and been drunk and been sick here.

Right, notes, docks. Is this it? Right, okay. You have to start again? Yes. Vampire book £1.50. Traffic record sound effects, one pound. That's $2.50.

The quench game, £1.50. That's £4. Manson CD, 50p. 4. Lockstock book, £1.5.50. Teeth Penguin Thing. 50p. Six quid.

The Taylor Swift Pid, one pound, and the milk jug thing 50p. 7.50 total. So, I think I did all right there. You did very good. But. Favorite item overall? That Van Helsing book's pretty fucking good, I think. I know, but would you read it?

Yeah, that's why I got it. And then I'm going to give it to a friend as well. You are. It's a cool thing. Yeah, so I'm up, for the money and the size of it. And the fact it's got lenticular and pop-up and slides. That's your favorite thing overall? Yeah.

What's your favorite of my things? Your little stick man. You really? Yeah, he's lovely. I like the look of him. Dick, Dick, Dick, Dick, Dick, Dick, Dick. It sounds like he's saying Dick, Dick, Dick. Dick, Dick. That's why I like him.

I thought that was the joke. He says, Dick, Dick, Dick. No, because it's a kid show. I don't think they're going to have a kid show, just shout Dick. It reminds me of like a person with Tourette's. Dick, Dick, you know? Yeah. Anyway.

Right, so in that case. What's my favourite thing, Eli? What's your favourite thing? I'm about to say that. I don't know. So, what is your favourite thing of mine and what is your favourite thing of yours? What about my favourite thing overall? Well, you can pick either, but just...

I want to set pick my favourite thing overall. We've got the records and the book and the little jug and the quench game and the record and the pin badge. I like the jug. Yeah. Yeah. All right, good. I like that book as well.

Yeah. Well, you know what? How about this? No win and low loser. We've both done very well and had a lovely day out in Cambridge. You know, the roots of cheap show. We went back to our roots in more ways than one today, Mr. Silverman. He certainly did.

Right. let's wrap this cunt of a show up and just like that another epic tat hunt double feature is over we hope you've enjoyed this week's edition of Cheap Show in fact they are mighty

It was good. I just had that energy dip right in the middle, which was a bit of a shame.

But loved Cambridge, loved the architecture, loved the amount of charity shops out there. You know, I felt like I missed out on some special Chinese food, but maybe next time. Hey, maybe next time, mate. There's always next time. Right, we're clean up from our space, so we're going to head back to the station. Look, as ever, with Cheap Show, go to our website, thecheepshow.co.uk, where you'll go to, uh, where you'll go to, uh, which is your one-stop shop basically for everything cheap show links to every episode with accompanying pictures and such links to tickets for our live show in Cambridge happening on the 23rd of August 4 p.m come and join us oh that was going to be mammoth yeah going to the venue yeah it was nice to see

Five hundred's a big, big thing for us. So we'd like to see as many of you as possible there to have some fun. What? That shop's called Tom Dixon. Okay. I went to the university with a guy called Tom Dixon.

Probably his shop then, isn't it? Odds are, it's his shop. No, odds are it's his shop. He became a film studies tutor. Yeah, so it's probably a shop then. Right. What else? You can find us on social media, just go to our website,

our YouTube channel, where we do fortnightly episodes, of things we call cheap shots. There, there too. I know, I can smell meat, too. I've got a proper, I've got, I'm just getting hungry again. Fucking out.

I was hungry all bloody day. That's that barbecue slightly burnt, sausage kind of smell that I love. Oh, God. It smells like, I can't do it, when I'm doing this. Like barbecue beef or something, doesn't it? Yeah.

And also. Or sausage, yeah. Yeah. Maybe sausage, yeah. Like a nice kind of barbecue banger. Like a bit charred. Yeah. It's getting there, yeah.

Oh, don't shut up. That's the back of the Google building. Yeah, I know. Right. I keep getting thrown off. Just say goodbye. No, because I've got to do the Patreon thing. Also, Cheap Show is brought to you by Patreon supporters,

I want it back. Well, you're going to have to drop some more logs off. Oh, yeah. No, I'm all right for that. You know what? I've not had any problems since. Honestly, it was a great idea to drop it. Yes, that was...

At the junction. Up the junction. Down the junction. Up the pipe, down the junction. Underneath it. A skunky junction. We're walking past where we used to... Film Bortions.

Yeah. Again, we're walking the paths of our history. We really are. We are. Well, the longer it goes on, the more we're... We've done things in different parts of the world. So I guess it, you know. Eventually, all things fall under the remit of cheap shows purview.

So anyway, look, we're heading back to the station. Eli's going home. I'm going home. Why don't you go home? Why don't you just fuck off off our podcast? Stop listening. Paul. What?

Pay per view. I don't know. I just got it. Pay per view. Yeah, no, it's good. That's good. That's the first time you've ever said that word. Remit.

It means remit. Anyway, I'm going to start a website where I, egg based food called only Flans. Right, see you next week on Cheap Show. That's all I've got. I'm going to end each week now with a bad pun. Okay. Does that count?

That's a bad pun. Good. In that case, that is us done. Thank you, Cambridge. Thank you listening. Thank you listening. Bye. Fucked it.

Fuck the ending. Bye. Bye. No, I've got to do this part. Do it proper. Here we go. Is that Wagam up? No.

Because they have comfortable chairs and waggers don't. They make you sit on benches like at school. And then they freak out when you say you're allergic. What? Is this some kind of trick? A catch, perhaps? No, I shouldn't have mentioned it. Just give me an egg.

Tortilla restaurant, it's still there. Still there, man. That's been a theme today as well, isn't it? What? Things that have survived. Things that are still there. Yeah. Brands that have survived the pandemic and everything.

That's the one where we ate after Barshets, that particular restaurant. Oh. Can we stop fucking talking about food, mate? You really hungry now? I'm really hungry now. Yeah, I've kind of gone through the other side of the hunger. Oh, right. Well, when all else is said and done, and we're all out of words, podcasts end.

And this one's ending now. Bye. Bye. Love you. Sorry. See you a bit.
