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

Episode Date: May 29, 2026

(Stereo 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, God bless them.

Love you. 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 the Zion Baptist Chapel from 1878. Love it. I love the brickwork. Really good. This stow 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 or 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.

Well, he was known to like every time he told the store, he would add something to it. Which meant that 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.

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 to 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 a little the green the green the aliens and I'm gonna move over and start a new planet called Murph 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.

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 sky's the universe. Galaxy. The galaxy. And they're called Vogons, 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? Burley, Burley Street. And this is where I think we'll find the next batch of like chariot shops and shit for us. So you ready to go? Yeah. 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 pop... There's scope as well and this British Red Cross. See what I mean, man. 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. 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 RSPA, got 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 charity 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 alright? 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... scarcely believe it there is scope there cancer research another red cross an rs pcia and a charity

shore next door to that and an oxfam and another red cross 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 430 we come back oh it's four now yeah okay yeah agreed where do you want to start our Outside, Burley, phone, and va... 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.

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 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 Oxford. Damn. 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 look 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 victim, 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, no. Child. It was his son. He was like, I pick out all his clothes for him. He only wears what Mama says he were, and I've got this stuff.

It is with people just trying to... People are so lonely, aren't they? She was chatting, and he was, like, nodding along. But honestly... 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 worth of clothes. Well.

That's her prerogative. I guess they, you know, they're like, yeah, she always spent. So I listened to her talk about her kid. Yeah, but I don't have to do that. No. You know what I mean? I shouldn't have to be put through that.

You should have said, have some of that. Have some of that. Goofter in the hov. In the hove. In the hove. What is the hoff? Goofter 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 way between the fanny and the ass. Hoveway. It's the gooch.

Yeah, but it's another word. Well, hover in the goch. Yeah. Hover. Oh, hovhing. No, that's not good. It's not funny either. Right, we're moving on. So our plan now is just to wander, 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 won't be far from here. No. It'll be the one designed by Dennis Lasden, who is famous for... Well, have you looked it up? I've known about it. I've known about it for years. No, but do you know where it is and register where we are right now? But we're going to go for a coffee now and then I'll see.

And unless it's, you 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 Lazzden, famous architect who did the National Theatre. Okay. So basically you don't get bigger. Than a quick fitter with 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. it wasn't because the upstairs was full 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 it's 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 gonna get much 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 other you can do whatever you want but um 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 gonna 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 but I'm gonna check where this um well you should do that then why we got the chance yeah all right let's get that daddy ganon get you a coffee thank you because he's brassic is Eli maybe if you didn't spend your time going to middle class uh tent parties or whatever it is you go into with 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, no, nah, nah. Get a word out, man. Get a word out, mate. You 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 cool, this is 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 grey brick. It's very pretty. And I bet they cost one billionty pound a month to rent. They're not going to be as expensive as houses in London, are they? Yeah, probably not.

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. No. But Christ. A lot of green spaces in Cambridge. It's very nice. Yeah, it'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, lad, 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. fine. I am, look at 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 got all gubbins down there? Yeah, I've got me all gubbins, so if nothing else. I've hit all of the mugs. Yeah, and then some. How much did you spend? Probably like 11. I think I might have spent like 10

£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 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 Gremlin's 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, they were recently novelisations have been popularised by Quentin Tarantino because he did it for...

Because he did it, everyone who could do it. It's like it's been done before. Doctor Who was doing it for years. Yeah, but that's not, that's slightly different. I'm talking about specific... They would write novels of the TV episodes because you couldn't see them usually on repeat. Oh, that's right. So people like Terence Dix who wrote for the show were then that writing the novelisation of the script.

I'm padded out with better characterisation in things. No, um, I'm talking more specific. 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 take out 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. Wasn't the one I give... Yeah, either way.

So, we... 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. Okay.

Yeah. I know of its differences and similarities to the movie, but, you know, 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'll 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 at Wimbly on the Grove and Knobesville

and Habbily and Gramsford. Nice. And Shabellim. It's Shabellum. Yeah, Shabellon. And Grafton. Giggaddy, biggiddy, booggedy boo. And Bongston on the honk.

You know what I mean? Like those kind of places. Everywhere. But no, 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 Webden 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? William College, Cambridge. Where's that then? Why don't 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... Ah. 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 sensitive. 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, who? Lasden. Here it is. New Court, Lasden building, known as the typewriter. There it is. I found it.

It's called. Lasden 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, that's good. 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, cancel the quick one back?

Is that what it is? Yeah. All the others, we can get, 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 too 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, 50 minutes to our 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'll 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 but I think we're going to take pictures right I don't think you can actually get to it but you can look behind some other buildings

so 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 well all right we'll see you in a bit yeah there you go

wanker pose 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, no 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 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. This is a big fucking church here, mate.

Yeah. It's a big one. And there's a church over there. 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, yeah So there's a lot of that going on They were one in the same sort of thing Weren't they like this one This is the Church's Conservation Trust Place here and then up there we've got I don't know what that is That looks like more on the palace almost doesn't it

That I mean fuck knows The Master's Lodge The Masters 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, it would have been this, 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. Yeah, the masons were. They were like a guild, like a work, a craft guild. Well,

it was set up to, hand down the tradesmen's secrets down the line. It'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,

an area 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. Uh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yes. Is this Mason Street? Mason Street? Oh, a Mason Street. Yeah. It's all the masons, man. I'm telling you. All around it.

That was a Masonic sign there. You got on, as in like, yes, just the trademark. Yeah. So we go down this road and then take a right. Okay. Okay. 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 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, yeah. Look at that. Oh, well, here we go. We're getting here, finally. Finally, you 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. No. 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 am I. days. Is this it? Is this what you think it is? This one.

It's 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 around. 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, they do, yeah.

So they just wedge this different facade front onto it, like this new build. This is the backside, I believe. Yeah, but it looks like they've slammed it against it. This thing, 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. There's so many noodle bars. I know, it's almost like this is the city for Eli. Can we go through there? That's what I'm open.

Do you want to have a look? Let's have a little look. Though that looks more, let's see. Yeah, but that's gated off as well. It looks like you need a code. All right, let's go have a look. Yeah, you see. It's a shame, you'd probably have to, it's there.

It's a shame because we'd probably have to, like, arrange 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 stalactites. Yes. So the rooms that had stalactites were really prized, you know, like if you had it, yeah. It's like, oh, you got the cyanideite room, 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, 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. Do 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. No, 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 can't we? We could get a cab? Worst, go to worse, can't we?

Yeah. Or just... Oh no, it would be more expensive to get a cab. It would be expensive, yeah. So we'd 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. It's nice or the same. Keen 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... Chicken panani. Oh.

Two bagels, grilled Hulumi cheese with fresh veg. How much? Tener. 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 are 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 round, mate. Christ, we could have just cut through that fucking courtyard and been here. What was all that about? Let's see if I can glimpse it from down here.

I don't think we will, because that's why they build these walls high. Restaurant. Oh dear. Oh, there's so many tiny restaurants here. Look at this old cinema up on the right. Oh, you might get a good look here. Can we see it from here? Well, no, not really.

It's behind that. Fuck. 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? No. Look at this old old. Look at this old Deco cinema. Oh, that breaks my art when I see stuff like that. Because, you know, imagine back in the 80s you'd 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. That's the piss one, isn't it? Yeah. But look at those little gantries on by the windows along 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 if you asked me that went through the whole bingo hall carpet center demolished kind of thing which is a shame yeah 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 It doesn't 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 wait 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.

could go. We did. Maybe the time will. Oh, no. No. It's all very much collegey. It's all collegey for the posh kids who did very well in school. Christ College is posh, isn't it? Yeah. It's always on what, University Challenge?

Christ College. You go back to the young once again. Ro, 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's just Lloyd's here. It's a fox. on the front it is the same thing isn't it I wonder why they established in 1677

so what Lloyd started here in 1677 the bank Noel Edmonds's most hated bank started here echo Benny I don't know who that is it's that 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 But honestly, outstanding public transport services here. Just gonna get a little shot. 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.

Colleges. You know what I mean? It's been a C 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. 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 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'll 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, 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. 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. Jordanian food. In 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 Calducula 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. We can even go down. down this alley I think. We walk down here. I think so. It's a little cute little area like it's like trapped in a bubble of time. It's a grey brick. Oh 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's an alleyway, it's just a short way. It's not a through way, it's still an alleyway. That's another 60s thing. But it's 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 our... that left at what, 7.40 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 it. 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 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, it is upon you, Anglia Rail or whatever it fucking is. Hey, polytunnels.

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 elize to have yet another ugly arguments in public so so we're not going to 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 yeah we're going to do my tat then your tat then tat then tat volatian tat tat evilert tats tabasian All right, all that. That's all we've got.

So we're just going to enjoy this journey. So 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... That's 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 your more dad.

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 we is. This was sent to us by Goblin, Gobble, Gobble. Chobble Gobble. Chobble, who sent us the thing last week? Goblin Chowdha. No. Cheeky Goblin. Chunky Goblin.

Anyway, look, 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 Sir Lancelot pin, and a pair of, like, Dracula's teeth,

which I'm going to give to someone I know 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.

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. 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. We'll go on the board, whatever. Yeah, fine. Yeah. God, there's a lot of Harry Potter tat in this world. Don't take him up. 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's like a yellow and silvery pig. The big one. Frog? Sorry, I don't know why I said pig. Freak. Um, frog.

One second, I just want to tell this with a little bit. Sounds different, don't it? Then we have this one that I said I already have. It's the big one, R&D-O-7, Red N-N-O-Sday. 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 does it says? British Red Cross. Ah, I didn't know they're used to Rose as one of their symbols. No.

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 one. No, the first war was 14. Yeah, okay. It's weird how it's a hundred 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. 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, why I'll put it there. Pudsey 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. Yeah, but our turnips are sort of pinky white So it's a radish, everyone It's a radish, everyone. 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, 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. You have them all. I need to take a picture off and first, more than that. Yeah, good job. So there you go. Now, I've had them for two weeks, these bloody pits, 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 would 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. 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 is all industrial, all where they 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, me? Yeah, but that's not the rule, though, was it? There was no rule that said, the closest to £10 wins. Because I would argue the one who spent less than £10 probably wins,

and that's poor. But anyway, mature adult conversation between two friends who had a lovely day out in Cambridge. We did do. 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 calling you a rancid round. You are and you are. I am now. Well, you could be if you don't behave. That's all. Your Winkle smithing, pod boss, bock, knob, hold. I can't, more words didn't come out. Winkelsmithing.

Winkel smithing pod, that's what you are. I am. Yeah, Winkles. Nice. Anyway, I'll take that. Yeah, good. He's got his coffee. He's ready to go.

Item number one, Mr. Silverman. Oh. Yeah, I tell you what, this is the better way of doing it. You get it out and I'll have a look at it. This is a little Mickey Mouse tin. It is a little 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. Again, pictures on our website, by the way, if you want to look. And the faces on the sides. And Instagram.

Pluto. Pluto. Mickey. Another one. Goofy. Upside down, goofy. Yeah, get it. It's important.

Get it. Yeah, because he's goofy. He's goofy. I get it. Mickey again. mini mouse not mini mouse what's the

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 gonna say what is it it's chocolate so yeah 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'd you get that one from? From the first shop we went into? Oh, okay, yeah. Yeah. I mean, that might have been the best shot we went to full stop the whole day. 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? I don't know, but it's the animated movie. troll keychain. 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 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 hallmark card kind of thing. You bought it in those kind of shops.

Yes, he did. Not in traditional toy shops. More of an ornament than an actual... We're sold in like card 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 look, 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 blue nose, blue hair and it is one of those keychain things These are different from keychain It's a charm, it hangs off your bag, charm

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 ceramic, ceramic headjog A quid They've got a text book 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 tell you what that says at all, unfortunately. It's a big spludge. It's Wade, or 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 certain figures are rarer than others and people are into them but I just like, that's a cute little headshot in 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. So it's like the front. It looks like the...

It's something that's been snapped off it. That's right. Yeah. 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 too bad. That's not the worst crime ever. So 50p for that. I'm happy and no complaints 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. the Japanese magic trick. The idea is it is a it's a doll, a wooden doll that dances around and then collapses, but then with a hidden string, he can make it all rejoin it to one thing again. So it's a party piece, stroke, kind of low-level magic trick. Right. Wait, oh. Yeah, don't, 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

you pull 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 copy on the box. What's the say? 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. 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? Yeah. 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 CheapShops video maybe. So that's a toy, I guess.

Fine. All right. What else have we got? I don't know. You got it. Okay. So so far, a wonderful collection of tat. 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 Gorey? I don't know who that is. The helpless doorknob, a shuffled story by Edward Gory.

Now, he's an illustrator, famous illustrator. Okay. This looks kind of almost handmade. Oh, it's not, I guess, but it cost nine quid originally. 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 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. And again that might be something we do in a cheap shot going forward as a laugh.

It's kind of a nice, 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, oh Christ, I can't even read that number. 2.4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 0.902.69.736.6.6.6.64000000. 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, okay.

No, point is decimal. Do you see, it's a massive number? Either way, it's a big number. A small number. Either way, it's a big number. We got the gist of it. It's a big number. It's a huge number of combinations. I like that. Yeah. But it's, I mean, it's just like, their 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, mentally. 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 cut off a bunch of Garfield strips

and turned it into a game, yeah. He 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. And it is new. Yeah, two quid's not about, coming from nine. I'll give you that. All right.

What have you got? 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. 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 you know it's a cartoon?

Because I remember Hey Doggy from watching like interstitials on TV channels. Yeah, it's good. It's 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. He's got, these are like part of it. Yeah, like the branch.

You like that? Yeah, a lot. Fun. fun but how much was that three okay three's all three's acceptable that's my most so we add up all the items so far three one pound for the tin one pound for the troll 50p for that so that's three four five 50 another quid for this six six 50 seven 50 yeah eight 50 nine 50 oh and then your last one is my track okay yeah Sounds of the Sea by Ribena.

That's cool. Oh, it's a flexi. Oh, mate, yeah. Look. Oh, it's Aspel. Aspel's in charge. All right, we're going to come back to this on another episode of Cheapes 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 is just the word Ribina on it. Do you think it was like it was like? like a giveaway like if you collected eight to talk it must be look yeah tokens they've not tried to theme it with ribena at all do you see what I mean there's no part of the deal must have been oh right be no we'll do this sticky logo on it send it off great stuff I love that flexi looks like it's in reasonable condition double-sided oh that's rare as well yeah you know you really see double-sided it's

double side it's double side 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. Oh, look at the first page. Okay, I will. Like, what's on the bottom corner there? That's where it says, look, it says 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, what was that again? Quid. 99.

So we're going to take all the 99s off. That was 99. That was 99. 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, many as the time we've been bound for them parts, sure. Which it ain't. It's Michael Aspo. And I'm down here at Southampton 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. 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. I'm... Gannons go, Gannons 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 lot of

lot 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 750 or so. 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? So I want to make sure. Okay, here's the first thing. Obviously, oh no, that's not, that's not involved. That does an RSPCA, Badger bought.

Sorry. P-B-A-E-S-A. Up here, S-A-S-A-A. There is a pin badge that was meant to be my first item. Hang on. He's having a shuff-suff. 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 ERAs Tower, and then there's a telephone tour. Sorry.

It's too dark. I need my glasses. The ERAs 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 ERA's tour?

Like, part of me wants to say, like, is it, like, Madonna or something? Ah. 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. And 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 2023, that was from. Isn't that weird how people are so into her and into it that they... Well, not that particular fan. They handed the pin in. Well, that's one less Swifty in the world. There's a replica of that. Why was this pin made? For all, for merch when you go to see the live show.

It's like you'd have to be a Swifty to know. Well, that's the important one, in it? Because I don't know. If you don't know, you're not in... I don't want to be associated with this. 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,

I like it. Because out of interest, Eli, the 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 ha. Right, so that was the first one, one quid. Good. Nice, yeah. Nice to have a badge because that's your kind of, your trademark item. Now, I guess this is a trinket or a toy. Well, 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. penguin ball character 50p good price I think I saw these can I try and prize 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 there's a tongue in there what does it do I put me hand on the tongue and then there's a you know what I can do Google lens it I'm gonna 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 a Ryan'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. They're kind of cool. Is it a penguin or a whale?

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's worth that some kid who reviews. It's got a nice ergonomic... Yeah.

Nice. But I don't know what it's meant to do. That's proper tat that. Yeah. It's maybe it's just a toyetic thing. You just meant to... 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. I was trying to keep my eyes. Guys out for more of those Burger King Happy Meal Universal Monsters toys. Right, next one, this one. Oh, I almost bought this. I knew 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, don't it? It does look. It looks like spunked. It looks very much like... Creamy up, creamy good.

That's a nice item. I almost bought that myself. Yeah, I actually genuinely like that. Right. It's funny how you see something, and then the other guy actually picks it. I literally bought it thinking if I don't get it, Eli will, and I want it.

Right, okay? I pass. I pass. 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. Grungy 90s from near the Whirl. They're more poppy than other grunge bands, though. Maybe, but I wouldn't say anything. think 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 Mansell. But I've never heard this album, and everyone goes, oh, actually, little mixes is the better album. Oh, I see. Okay, great.

Okay. 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 spot. actually but I've got the CD now so I got that that was just for me but that was 50p so yeah that's good I reckon um 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 Richie's got a new one out yeah in the great and it's supposed to be I got I saw a good review it's just a kind of mission possible 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 money to make stuff you forget about a week after you've seen it, a day after you've seen it. 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 Statham. Statham, he got money. That's what it was. So this is Lockstock and Barrel, familiar sayings and their meanings. Great. Perfect cheap show fodder. 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 loathes. the 13th loaf in the dozen being called the vantage loaf The vantage loaf

I've done a vantage loaf That's excellent It's typical great cheap show stuff Pan out paraphernalia Palming off I know where that came from What's paraphernalia? No, 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 position

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 phaneer, 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 Cheap Show H.Q. That's good. That's good, good fact. Right, next book. Look at this book up. Vampire, with her why. The terrifying lost journal of Dr. Cornelius Van Helsing. What the fuck is this? How much was this?

How much was this? How much was this? 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.

Oh, this is excellent, mate. What's it all about? about Bram Stoker's Dracula? Yeah, it's like if Van 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 wolfman. Yeah, lenticular, a wolfman. It's a wolfman. But that's not Dracula, that's Wolfman. No, but there were wolf men in. Oh no, Dracula turned into a wolf in the original book. Does he? Yeah, of course.

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 a wolf, but then there's a whole other sort of separate monster myth, which is the wolf band. 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. Look, there's Dracula.

Oh, actually that looks more like not ferrartu. Oh, look, he's coming. long and there's a wolf. I like this. This is great quality. Isn't it? I was so surprised that this was one pound fifty 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. So 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, oh, it's made me there. Look, it's made me there. in my sounds of the sea. Look at this little note that was 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 our 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. It's unprofessional. Not the, 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 Highgate, Vampire and shit. Put that back in there. Look, there's newspaper cuttings and books.

This is excellent. Another pulley thing. full of fucking, this is awesome, this is the best thing I've got today, I reckon. Doctor, you have, yeah, that'll be Renfield or whatever's name, isn't it? Cornelius Ambrose Van Helsing, is that his name? I guess I haven't really thought about it. Have you ever read the novel? Yes, but not for a while. But I thought it was like, oh, he's on the gauge. That's like a jump scare built in.

It's a little note. It's a little note. What is it? It's like a money. Cool. That folds in there. For £1.50, this is a great fight. Does it have the original price, 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. So who knows? Maybe the inside cover. Yeah, who knows? I wonder where it came from. What company in? What year? Carpah Hollins.

Children's book, Carpah 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.

item, Eli, for you to enjoy. What's this? This is... Ah, this is one of those sound effects records. 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. Oh. Tram. In a tram car. I can't see. 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, 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 soda tin. Yeah, it's a cool look.

And we could definitely do that on a... Yeah. And we get wet. Ice cube dice. 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 do the thing, right? Yeah. Okay.

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? That's the one thing, isn't 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... Manson...

Manson... It all blew away. Christ! Thank you. Oh, oh God. Oh, the receipt. Oh, 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 bad. Why can't we ever just do something? It's fine. It's all just floating away.

I've got it back. Put it back in the bag. It all in. I'm putting myself in the bag. Stick it all in. That went everywhere. Nice lady helped though, so that's all right. Right, hang on.

It stinks of 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 had to start again? Yes. Vampire book £1.50.

Traffic record, sound effects, £1. That's $2.50. The quench game, £1.50. That's £4. Manson CD, 50p. $4.50. Lockstock, book. one pound

550 Teeth penguin thing 50p the Taylor Swift Pid 1 pound and the milk jug thing 50p 750 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 for the money and the size of it And the fact it's got lenticular and pop-up and slides. Okay, that's your favourite thing overall? Yeah. What's your favourite 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, Dick. He 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, Dick. Yeah. It reminds me of like a person with Tourettee, you know? Yeah.

Right, so in that case. What's my favorite thing, Eli? What's your favourite thing? I'm not. 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 pick my favourite thing overall. I'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. I had a lovely day out in Cayley.
