0:00:02 > 0:00:04Welcome to Cash In The Celebrity Attic
0:00:04 > 0:00:08where we find treasures in the homes of the well-known
0:00:08 > 0:00:12and help them sell them at auction for a good cause of their choice.
0:00:12 > 0:00:18Today, I hope we're in for a bit of fun because we're meeting a comedian and all-round entertainer.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21He's one of Britain's top touring comics
0:00:21 > 0:00:25and he's even made the Queen laugh at his Royal Variety performances.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29You may know him as a game show host or you've seen him in pantomime.
0:00:29 > 0:00:35But you'll almost certainly remember him as the King of the Jungle with the rather squeaky voice.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Have you worked out who it is yet?
0:00:57 > 0:01:03Today, I'm in Kent and I'm on my way to meet the very funny and talented Joe Pasquale.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08'He's been performing on the stage and screen since the late 1980s.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13'When Joe's not pulling faces in a variety show or appearing in West End productions,
0:01:13 > 0:01:20'this funny man is hobnobbing with the rich and famous. And Joe's not only a king of comedy.
0:01:20 > 0:01:26'He was crowned King of the Jungle on the hit reality series I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28'He's hosted The Price Is Right,
0:01:28 > 0:01:33'so when it comes to knowing about retail value, I think we've found our man.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37'With a career as diverse as one of his variety shows,
0:01:37 > 0:01:41'I'm sure we'll find interesting items today and have a good laugh.
0:01:41 > 0:01:48'Coming up on Cash In The Celebrity Attic, Joe's comedic charm has me tongue-tied over Elton John.'
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- "All my love...Allan"? - No, that says "Elton".
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Elton!- Yes. Do you wear glasses normally?- I should, shouldn't I?
0:01:55 > 0:02:01'And forget a personal trainer. Joe has a better solution for keeping his figure fit.'
0:02:01 > 0:02:07This is my muscle suit. In case I was ever lazy and didn't want to go down the gym, I just put this on.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10'At auction, he plays the role of salesman.'
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Take it. Take it while it's hot... - 305.- Yeah, well done.- Well done.
0:02:14 > 0:02:20'But will his sales technique win them over? Find out what happens when the hammer falls.'
0:02:27 > 0:02:32'We've come to the peace and quiet of the Kent countryside for our rummage today.
0:02:32 > 0:02:39'And I'm joined by our expert Jonty Hearnden who will spot the most valuable items for auction.'
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Hello!- Jennie, how are you, darling?- Good morning.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- Jonty, how are you, sir?- Good to see you.- This is my sister Julie.- Hi.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50OK, how much money are we going to raise?
0:02:50 > 0:02:55We want to raise £500. The stuff I'm putting in for the auction is a bit obscure.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01I don't think you'll have a good idea on how to value a lot of this stuff cos I collect pants.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07- I don't mean underwear. I mean strange stuff.- Pants.- It should be called Pants In The Attic this week.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13- I have sold a pair of Queen Victoria's underpants.- I've got my dad's stuff, but you don't want them.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18- You've got a challenge, young man. - I'll go off and see what I can find. - Get going.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23- You have set our man a challenge... - Jonty, don't nick nothing! Sorry.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26He's very well behaved. So this is your house?
0:03:26 > 0:03:32This is a house I bought a few years ago as an investment. My tour manager lives here now.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37I don't live far away, so we use this as a bit of a depot for all the props of the act.
0:03:37 > 0:03:43Some of the stuff I'm putting into the auction today, so I use this as a bit of a warehouse.
0:03:43 > 0:03:49- My tour manager is like the caretaker.- Julie, you might find some quite nostalgic bits and pieces.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54I think we're going to find more pants, rather than nostalgia, but yeah.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57We want to raise £500. What charity is it for?
0:03:57 > 0:04:02It's for the CPC, which is the Cerebral Palsy Centre here in Kent near Rochester.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07It's a great little charity. It's a lovely centre not far from here
0:04:07 > 0:04:11and it facilitates anybody in the area who suffers from cerebral palsy.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- OK, shall we look around the house? - I think we should, yeah.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Jonty's through there. - Let's see if he's found anything.
0:04:18 > 0:04:25'If this house stores as many props as Joe says it does, I can't wait to see what we're going to find.'
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- Here he is!- He's found something. - What have you found?
0:04:30 > 0:04:36- Have a look at this.- He's found my good thing.- Whoo!- Tell me more about this signed...- Yes.
0:04:36 > 0:04:42"Dear Bill, good luck with Sticky Fingers and have a successful evening. All my love...Allan"?
0:04:42 > 0:04:47- No, that says "Elton", love.- Elton? - Yes. Do you wear glasses normally?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- I should, shouldn't I? - That could have been his real name.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55He probably changed his name to Elton after everybody called him Allan!
0:04:55 > 0:05:00- When Bill Wyman opened Sticky Fingers... Remember he had that restaurant?- Yeah, I do.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06He invited me to the opening. I met him a couple of times. He was just a lovely bloke.
0:05:06 > 0:05:12There were loads of people there. I met Spike Milligan. I've been a fan of Spike's since I was a kid.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17And loads of his rock'n'roll mates had sent a load of gear to him to auction off.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21I think it was a cancer research charity he was doing it for.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25I'm a big fan of Allan, but he's more commonly known as Elton.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- Stop it!- So I bought this. I was just a huge fan of Elton John's.
0:05:29 > 0:05:35- You've got two legends there. - Yeah, it just says, "To Bill, good luck with Sticky Fingers."
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I've had it on the wall for ages,
0:05:38 > 0:05:42then my tour manager said, "I like Elton," so I let him have it up here.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47It's a great thing to put into the auction sale. Elton John is such a big name.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52Selling rock and pop memorabilia is a great thing to invest in,
0:05:52 > 0:05:58simply because there are many areas in the market that are going up, rather than going down.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00The estimate at a general sale
0:06:00 > 0:06:04would be between £100 and £200, but if you've got big collectors there,
0:06:04 > 0:06:09- then the price goes up even more. - So that's a good thing?- Brilliant.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12It will be useful money for your charity.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16It's a bit of a personal loss for me because I love Allan.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- I think you're so horrible! - LAUGHTER
0:06:20 > 0:06:27- Let's go and find something else. I'll get this one right.- You can't mistake some of the stuff out here.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- PHONE RINGS - 'We all make the odd mistake!
0:06:30 > 0:06:35'Everyone knows Elton isn't his real name. I hope that's not him on the phone!
0:06:35 > 0:06:40'Joe's getting down to business, but what's Julie found for us?'
0:06:40 > 0:06:46Jonty, these were given by the charity - a painting and a book. Can you tell me about the painting?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Hold the book. Who have we got here?
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- Alwyn Crawshaw. That's good. Have you heard of him?- I'm afraid not.
0:06:53 > 0:07:00- What we're looking at here is a print of his work, rather than an original watercolour.- OK.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Have a look across the surface here.
0:07:02 > 0:07:08When it comes to watercolours, there are slightly different layers and slightly different tones.
0:07:08 > 0:07:15If that was an original watercolour, you would see the tone changing colour when you moved it around.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19But that is quite flat. And he's signed it just in the corner there.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- There are two signatures there.- Yes.
0:07:23 > 0:07:30One on the print, but he's signed the frame, the mount, rather than the actual picture itself.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35He's actually a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, so he's a very big player.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39He's a living artist, rather than an artist that has been and gone.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44But he's highly regarded in the business and his art does sell at auction.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- Can I have a look at the book?- Yes.
0:07:46 > 0:07:52He was actually born in Yorkshire, but he studied at the Hastings School of Art,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56which is from one end of the country to the other.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59We can put these two items in the auction sale together
0:07:59 > 0:08:04because we have the book and the signed, mounted print here.
0:08:04 > 0:08:10There's a big price difference between original art and something that's a print like this,
0:08:10 > 0:08:15but worth putting into the auction sale nonetheless. We're looking at £30 to £50.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Thank you, charity.- Yes, well done.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22'There's no time to waste as we've hardly started yet.
0:08:22 > 0:08:29'On top of the cupboard, I come across three board games from the hit show The Price Is Right.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32'There's Joe's famous face on the box
0:08:32 > 0:08:37'and his predecessors on the show, Leslie Crowther and Bruce Forsyth.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43'Jonty estimates these retro games will go for £10 to £20,
0:08:43 > 0:08:47'but if we've got any fans of The Price Is Right at the auction,
0:08:47 > 0:08:49'I'm sure they'll pay a bit more.
0:08:49 > 0:08:55'In the garage, I find exactly what Joe was talking about earlier - his theatrical props.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58'I wonder where Polly fits into his life?
0:08:58 > 0:09:03'And Julie's hot on the trail as well, but it's Joe who spots the next find -
0:09:03 > 0:09:08'a picture that reality TV fans are sure to recognise.'
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I have something here which you may be interested in,
0:09:12 > 0:09:15particularly you, Jennie, because you've done it as well.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21This is from when I done the jungle which was six years ago. That's when you done it as well?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- I did it in January. You did it in November?- Yeah.
0:09:24 > 0:09:30This was a cartoon commissioned by my uncle. He got an artist to do it for me when I came out.
0:09:30 > 0:09:36He's got all the people I did it with - Paul Burrell... You must have had some dinners with Paul Burrell.
0:09:36 > 0:09:43- Just one or two.- Cos at the time, his popularity was down. He brought his profile right up with that show.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47It's got everybody in it - the emus that I made friends with.
0:09:47 > 0:09:53Janet Street-Porter. That's Sheila Ferguson who I ended up having a bath with in the jungle.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- You've put Janet in a cauldron. - Yeah. No, I didn't do it.
0:09:57 > 0:10:03- Everybody picked on her a bit, but I loved her. I was petrified of her at first...- Strong lady.
0:10:03 > 0:10:09Strong lady. Really nice though. First three days, I was petrified of her.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I said to her, "Janet, you scare me. Can you pull it back a little bit?"
0:10:13 > 0:10:19She went, "I'll never lose my temper with you. I'll lose my temper with Paul Burrell. I can't stand him."
0:10:19 > 0:10:24She gave me a kiss and after that, we got on really well. Is that worth anything to anybody?
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- Of course.- I could sign it. There are a lot of people that are into the show.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- It would probably make sense to sign it on the back.- Not on the glass?
0:10:33 > 0:10:39It would rub off on the glass, but if you got it permanently on the back, that would be really good.
0:10:39 > 0:10:45Whoever bought it, you could personally sign it. That would add to the value. Who was the artist?
0:10:45 > 0:10:50I have no idea. My uncle got it commissioned on the south coast.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55It's been very cleverly done. You've got all the characters, even Ant and Dec.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00- Looking incredibly bald! They won't like that. - A lot of high foreheads there.
0:11:00 > 0:11:06It's still a very successful show. I think around 100 celebrities have now gone into the jungle.
0:11:06 > 0:11:12So let's talk values. Let's think about a cold, stark auction room.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Without you there, we're looking at £50 to £80,
0:11:15 > 0:11:19but with you there, it should be worth a lot more.
0:11:19 > 0:11:25- It's terribly generous of you to give it away. It's quite special. - Yeah, but it's a good cause.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- And I don't really look like that any more.- No, you don't.
0:11:29 > 0:11:35- Thank you.- You look gorgeous. - You're just saying that. But yeah, I think it's cool. It's good.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39'It's a generous gift, but will it attract some good bids?'
0:11:39 > 0:11:4210 I'm bid. Looking for 12? 12.
0:11:42 > 0:11:4414. 16. 18. 20.
0:11:44 > 0:11:4622. 24...
0:11:46 > 0:11:52- 'Find out how much our jungle picture makes when the hammer falls.'- If you're all done...?
0:11:54 > 0:12:00'As we continue our rummage with comedian Joe Pasquale, Jonty finds a plush armchair.
0:12:00 > 0:12:07'It's a modern reproduction modelled on a 19th century design and it belonged to Joe's late mother.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11'Jonty gives it a price tag of £30 to £40.
0:12:11 > 0:12:18'While he keeps up the good work, I steal Joe away to find out if he's a natural-born talent.'
0:12:18 > 0:12:23- It's nice to have a little sit down. - It is, yeah, rather than looking at all my pants.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28- I think we've found some very nice things so far.- Do you think so?- Yes.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33I want to know about how it all started for you, this life as a comedian.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38- Were you funny at school? - No, I was one of these insipid little kids up the back.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41They called me Second-Hand Joe because my mum was into antiques.
0:12:41 > 0:12:48Sadly, I lost my mum ten years ago. She went for a wander and never came back(!) She's been gone ten years.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52She loved antiques. She loved rubbish. She loved second-hand stuff.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56There was four of us - me, I've got two sisters and a younger brother.
0:12:56 > 0:13:03And she used to drag us round all these jumble sales and it was full of old women everywhere.
0:13:03 > 0:13:09And she'd hold a jumper up to me like this in front of all... And that'd be my school clothes.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12At school, I was called Second-Hand Joe.
0:13:12 > 0:13:18Because everything, you know... I got new shoes, but they weren't shoes. There was no heel on 'em.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21No, I was a complete div at school. I didn't do a lot.
0:13:21 > 0:13:28I wanted to be a geologist when I was younger, but I got run over when I was 13 and missed a year's schooling.
0:13:28 > 0:13:34There's only one place you can go if you haven't got no exams and that was to work for the government.
0:13:34 > 0:13:40I was a civil servant for a year - Department of Transport and Environment, Dangerous Goods Branch.
0:13:40 > 0:13:46Then I got a job at Smithfield Meat Market, Ford's at Dagenham, spot-welding on Mark IV Cortinas,
0:13:46 > 0:13:52a margarine factory, then I got a job at a holiday camp calling bingo and refereeing wrestling,
0:13:52 > 0:13:54then I never looked back.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59So that was the first inkling of you wanting to be an entertainer?
0:13:59 > 0:14:04Yeah. I wanted to be a geologist. When that went out the window, I thought I'd be an actor.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09I didn't want to work! I thought, "I can't do these jobs till I'm 65."
0:14:09 > 0:14:14So you're a veteran of Royal Variety shows and really a household name,
0:14:14 > 0:14:20but I think you moved into a different stratosphere with I'm A Celebrity.
0:14:20 > 0:14:26Yeah. Out there, you don't think anyone's watching it or they must think you're a complete spanner.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29When I came out, the diverse work I got offered...
0:14:29 > 0:14:36I did The Price Is Right. We did 176 episodes of The Price Is Right in about three weeks.
0:14:36 > 0:14:42We did four shows a day. I'm not very good at maths! Then I did a couple of movies, a lot of voiceover work.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47- You've done some serious acting. - I did Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51I did The Producers last year, a Ray Cooney farce,
0:14:51 > 0:14:55all sorts of bits and pieces you wouldn't expect to be offered.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00- And pantomime which you've done for very many years.- Yeah, I've done it for 25 years now.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- You do a very wide spectrum of work. - Yeah, that's what it's all about.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08As you get older, you just want to try new things.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11The last thing I want to do is get stuck in a rut.
0:15:11 > 0:15:17- You really are a fascinating guy and there's a lot more to you than meets the eye.- There's a lot more, yes.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22- But we've got to get on with our rummage.- Yes, find some more pants. Let's go.
0:15:22 > 0:15:29'We're going to need to find more than just pants if we've any hope of raising his £500.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34'Julie's been busy unwrapping a few more donated items from the charity.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38'We'll happily take along this 20th century porcelain jug.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42'Although it doesn't have a potter's mark, Jonty is sure
0:15:42 > 0:15:45'his estimate of £30 to £50 will drum up some interest.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49'Back in the garage, I have a close encounter with an alien,
0:15:49 > 0:15:53'but the tables have turned as I'm abducting him for auction.
0:15:53 > 0:15:59'And with good reason because this guy appeared in the blockbuster film The X-Files.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04'He may be a prop, but we think he deserves a better home than Joe's garage.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08'Someone might make a new friend of him if we ask for £40 to £60.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13'And we might need some extra-terrestrial help as we're still a way off our target.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17'Joe's found another item in need of closer inspection.'
0:16:17 > 0:16:23Jonty, I have a lovely "vayse" or a vase. Depends how posh you want to be! It's donated from the charity.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28- I don't know nothing about it. There's a lion on the front.- OK. - Tell us about that.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Do you like it? What's your honest opinion?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35It's the sort of thing my mum bought from a jumble sale when I was a kid.
0:16:35 > 0:16:42I'm not saying that's good or bad or indifferent, but she'd get it and my dad would put his fags out in it.
0:16:43 > 0:16:49- So it's a glorified ashtray as far as you're concerned?- My dad would look at it that way, yeah.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54We've got two lions - one on this side and one on the reverse as well.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59- Above, we've got a knight's helmet. - So it's English if there's a lion and a knight's helmet?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It has that English feel to it.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06If we turn it upside down, we've got "Shelley, made in England".
0:17:06 > 0:17:10It says "made in England". I was right. I didn't even look at that.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- I knew it. I'm a genius.- You are.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Underneath here, it says "Walter Slater".
0:17:16 > 0:17:21Walter Slater was one of the chief designers from Shelley in the Edwardian period.
0:17:21 > 0:17:27If you look at that, it has that sense of being about 100 years old, it has that Edwardian feel to it.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31There's a great thing and a bad thing about this vase.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36- I know what the bad thing is. - Yes, I'll come to that, but let's talk about positives.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41If you've got signed pots by Walter Slater, in good condition, they're worth a lot of money.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46- So tell me the bad.- The bad thing is it's been repaired on the bottom.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- I thought there was a big crack there.- Yeah, spot-on.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53But the problem with vases, particularly ceramic vases,
0:17:53 > 0:18:00if they are damaged in this way, the price has really tumbled and fallen, as far as we're concerned.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05But this has been damaged and damaged rather badly,
0:18:05 > 0:18:11so it completely wipes any real, big value out of it, but it's still worth putting into the auction sale.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Right.- I think maybe £50 to £100.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19Anything we can get for it is great because they've donated it to us for the charity.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24- Yeah.- It's a shame that it has been damaged, but life goes on.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27'Damaged or not, £50 to £100
0:18:27 > 0:18:30'is still a great addition to our haul.
0:18:30 > 0:18:36'There's no question that Joe's a great entertainer, but what is he like as a brother?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38'Julie joins us both.'
0:18:38 > 0:18:41So, Joe, do you play this old Joanna?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I don't. The piano was already here in the place.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48My tour manager plinks at it when he's feeling a little bit sad.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- I thought you'd be musical. - No, not at all.
0:18:51 > 0:18:57- These are some of your comics? - My comics, yeah, Dracula Lives. Look how much it was - 8 pence!
0:18:57 > 0:19:01I think that's from about 1973, something like that.
0:19:01 > 0:19:07- Does that take you back to your childhood together?- Yes, it does. I'm a bit older than Joseph.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- "Joseph", do you hear that?- Joseph? - Joseph.- Where's this from - Joseph?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15My mum always called him Joseph. We had a lot of Joes in the family,
0:19:15 > 0:19:21- so to differentiate between old Joe, young Joe and baby Joe, Joseph was Joseph.- My dad's Joe.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25I had an Uncle Joe, my son's Joe and there's me, so there was four of us.
0:19:25 > 0:19:31- In the family, you're always Joseph? - Yeah.- Yeah.- Aw! That puts a whole new perspective on it.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- If I was naughty...- It's like his proper name.- Was he naughty?- No.
0:19:35 > 0:19:41- He wasn't really. He was quite good and quiet.- You was.- I know I was. - She was a nasty piece of work.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46I had to drag him everywhere with me. "Julie, take Joseph with you."
0:19:46 > 0:19:51Did you ever think he would be a very famous and successful entertainer and comedian?
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- No.- What do you mean, "no"? It's written in the stars, love.
0:19:55 > 0:20:01It might have been in the stars, but it was in the bottom of the bucket when he was a kid.
0:20:01 > 0:20:07- Had anyone in the family done anything like that?- Dad was a bit of a singer.- Mainly in the bath!
0:20:07 > 0:20:14In the bath, but years ago, I think Dad had an audition for The Carroll Levis Discovery Show.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17He actually did the show. He did the show on the radio.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21It was like the predecessor to Hughie Green's Opportunity Knocks.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26He went on it. He didn't win. Some dog playing the spoons won!
0:20:26 > 0:20:30But the story goes that they wanted him to sing in a monastery garden.
0:20:30 > 0:20:36My great-gran said he couldn't sing on a Sunday, so he never did any more than that.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Great-Gran knows best!- Yeah.
0:20:39 > 0:20:46Within the family, has it been a bit of a revelation that Joseph is so very talented?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48LAUGHTER
0:20:48 > 0:20:54- No-one is going to agree to me being very talented.- No, we're all proud of him. He's done very well.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- "He's done very well." - The boy's done good!
0:20:57 > 0:21:03Tell me a bit more about the charity. Are you very involved with the cerebral palsy charity?
0:21:03 > 0:21:09- Yeah, it goes back to the jungle a little bit. I did the jungle for them.- OK.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13To keep that place open a year costs a quarter of a million quid.
0:21:13 > 0:21:20And all the money that is raised at that place is done in-house from all these people that work for nothing.
0:21:20 > 0:21:26- Do you go down there sometimes?- I go down whenever I can. It's a nice place to go and visit.- Fantastic.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31So we're going to get that £500, I hope. We're doing well so far.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- Yeah, my pants are going to be... My specialist pants.- Yes.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Let's go and find some more, eh?
0:21:38 > 0:21:39- This way?- Yeah.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44'Seeing Joe and Julie together is like seeing two peas in a pod.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49'Speaking of double acts, Jonty wonders if Sooty might sweep up!
0:21:49 > 0:21:56'Joe's definitely on a mission. I love his enthusiasm, but can't he see what's right in front of him?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59'Another piece belonging to Mum,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02'this modern chaise longue might fetch £40-£60.
0:22:02 > 0:22:08'We've definitely found a wonderful variety of items, which should help on sale day,
0:22:08 > 0:22:12'but trust Joe to leave the best to last.'
0:22:12 > 0:22:14OK, now Jonty...
0:22:14 > 0:22:18I would like to know your opinion, right?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Please don't snort!- I'm sorry!
0:22:22 > 0:22:26That's a very basic animal sound I don't want to hear with this on.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Jonty... She's going "Snort!" in my ear!
0:22:30 > 0:22:38- How much will we get for this? - Fortunes!- This could be the peak of your career to value this.
0:22:38 > 0:22:44This is my muscle suit. In case I was ever lazy and didn't want to go down the gym.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49But my little belly comes out the bottom. Stroke it gently.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Don't slap it, stroke it.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54I want to feel your muscles.
0:22:54 > 0:23:00- I don't want to touch you. I might get an electric shock. - I had this made for panto.
0:23:00 > 0:23:06I haven't worn it for a few years. When I stopped smoking, I put on a few stone,
0:23:06 > 0:23:10but it fits me again now. I used it in Peter Pan.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15I was Mr Smee. This is what I came out in to fight the Captain.
0:23:15 > 0:23:22- Did it get a good laugh? - It did. Especially with my belly hanging out.- Put it away!
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I'm a lot of bloke. What do you think, then?
0:23:25 > 0:23:29I have to say after 30 years in antiques
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- that I'm now at the pinnacle. - I agree.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34I totally agree.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39- There's nowhere else to go but down. - Let's put it in the auction sale
0:23:39 > 0:23:44and the way to get the maximum effect is for you to wear it.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- Would you?- Oh, yeah. I would just go in my pants
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- with a g-string on.- No... - Imagine me, a g-string and this.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57I bet you'd be the first one to put your hand up, Jonty.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Right. Yeah?
0:23:59 > 0:24:03- So you're going to go up there, sell it for us...- In a g-string.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Yeah. In a g-string. - A thong.- In a thong.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- Let's put £20-£30 on it. - Is that all?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13You'll get more for it.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- He's deflated now. - You'll get more.- 30 quid?
0:24:17 > 0:24:24- Aww.- What do you think, Joe? - I want a oner for this, if I'm onstage in a thong.
0:24:24 > 0:24:30- That's your challenge. - Right. You help push them. - We'll all help.- All right.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35- But £20-£30.- For the moment. - That's the end of the day. You don't have to rummage.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40- We're going to call it quits now. - Right.- I reckon if we add that
0:24:40 > 0:24:46to what we've got... You wanted £500, didn't you, for cerebral palsy?
0:24:46 > 0:24:52I'm not sure we're going to get it. Jonty's not quite sure we're going to get to £500,
0:24:52 > 0:24:57- but...- We're not there yet. - He's undervalued this for a start.
0:24:57 > 0:25:03He has totally undervalued it. He might know about vases, but not about muscular suits.
0:25:03 > 0:25:10I can tell you that you wanted £500 and based on the lowest estimates we reckon you'll make £400,
0:25:10 > 0:25:16- which is still very respectable. - That's very good. Plus we've got the extra for this.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Prove us wrong.- Oh, don't worry.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22'Joe's well suited for auction now
0:25:22 > 0:25:25'and with some terrific items to boot.
0:25:25 > 0:25:31'The Walter Slater vase, which could earn a tidy £50-£100.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35'And the King of the Jungle caricature. At £50-£80,
0:25:35 > 0:25:39'this reality TV memorabilia should lure the bidders.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44'And, finally, the signed Elton John album. It's priced at £100-£200,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48'but let's hope the Rocket Man can go even higher.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53'Find out how much these and Joe's other items raise on auction day.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55'Still to come:
0:25:55 > 0:25:59'Joe can't help but try out a few laughs on the crowd.'
0:25:59 > 0:26:04He was a very good painter. He done my kitchen.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10'But then he has to show off his six-pack to get the ladies going.'
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Do we have £32? £32?
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Yeah, you know you want it, love. Yeah, £32.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20'Will Joe's gags bring in the cash? Find out when the hammer falls.'
0:26:26 > 0:26:30We had a brilliant time with Joe Pasquale. He had us in stitches.
0:26:30 > 0:26:36But we did do a bit of work and today we've brought everything to Boningtons in Essex.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Remember, Joe wants to make £500 for his chosen charity,
0:26:40 > 0:26:47so let's hope the bidders are in good humour and ready to buy when his items go under the hammer.
0:26:48 > 0:26:54'Today's auction house specialises in fine art, antiques and all sorts of other collectables,
0:26:54 > 0:26:58'so how will Joe's alien fit in with this discerning crowd?'
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- Hello, you two.- Hello! - "Mirror, mirror, on the wall..."
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Yeah, it reminds me of me in a rough state after a heavy night.
0:27:06 > 0:27:12He is on the cover of the catalogue. That's really good news, actually.
0:27:12 > 0:27:19Ordinarily, I would put no value on this at all, but as a prop from The X Files, £50-£60.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22I have heard there's interest in it.
0:27:22 > 0:27:28- That's very good news.- I hope there's interest in the others! - The muscle suit...- I know!
0:27:28 > 0:27:33- We've got some weird and wacky items from Joe.- Only to be expected.
0:27:33 > 0:27:39- You've got to do really well for Joe and his charity.- "Yes, Jennie." - Excellent. Let's go and see them.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44'While we wish good luck to our cosmic friend,
0:27:44 > 0:27:49'Joe's among the crowd and seems to have chest envy.'
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Gotcha!
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- So hello. - Jonty, how are you, son?- Very good.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59- Saying farewell to your muscles? - I am. I feel like Lovejoy.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02I feel like Ian McShane in Lovejoy.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07- There is some interest in your alien.- He always attracts interest.
0:28:07 > 0:28:13- Which item will you miss the most? - The Price Is Right games. We used to sit down every Saturday night
0:28:13 > 0:28:18and play The Price Is Right when we was on medication.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- Are you going to make him behave? - No!- Good!
0:28:21 > 0:28:27The auction's about to start so if you lead us out, Julie, we'll go and get a spot.
0:28:27 > 0:28:34'As the auction gets underway, we start with the Price Is Right board games for £10-£20.'
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Are you feeling strong?
0:28:37 > 0:28:44- It's your games. Are you going to be sad?- What will we do now? We'll have to play Kerplunk.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48- That was a good game, actually. - Buckaroo is my favourite.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52Remember that? You put things on his back and he'd buck.
0:28:52 > 0:28:58- We'd better get on with the auction. - This is going to go. - 10 quid we want.- It'll fly.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Start me at £10 for the three. 10 I'm bid. Looking for 12.
0:29:02 > 0:29:0612. 14. 16. 18. 20.
0:29:06 > 0:29:0822. 24.
0:29:08 > 0:29:1026. 28. 30.
0:29:10 > 0:29:1532? 30 is the bid here. Is there any advance on 30?
0:29:15 > 0:29:18I'll sell at £30, then.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Well done!
0:29:20 > 0:29:25'Well, we had no trouble selling above Jonty's top estimate
0:29:25 > 0:29:30'which might mean good news for the next item.'
0:29:30 > 0:29:36- I'm intrigued as to how this will do. Your alien. There has been interest.- Do we know who from?- No.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40- Just generally...- Somebody from outer space.- Ho ho ho.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45It was in the X Files film and there's a certificate saying that.
0:29:45 > 0:29:52- It's a little bit of history. Worth 40 quid of anybody's money. - Absolutely.- Here we go.
0:29:52 > 0:29:58And bids on commission start with me. I've got to come in on commission at 45.
0:29:58 > 0:30:04With me at £50 on the book. I'm looking for 60 in the room. 60 I've got.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Is there 70 anywhere? 60 at the back.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09It's good already.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13I'll sell it at £60 if you're all done.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14That's all right.
0:30:14 > 0:30:21Perhaps our little friend pulled the Jedi mind trick on that bidder. We just earned another top sale.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Joe, it's your casting couch next.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27It belonged to my mum, this did.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- She used to keep the dolls on it. - Chaise longue, innit?- Yes.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- What's that mean?- A long lounger.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Oh, is that what it is?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- We want £40-£60. - She'd be happy with that.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43£40 for the chaise longue?
0:30:43 > 0:30:45I'm bid. Looking for 5.
0:30:45 > 0:30:4940 I'm bid. Looking for 5. 5. 50.
0:30:49 > 0:30:515. 60. 5.
0:30:51 > 0:30:5470. 5. 80?
0:30:54 > 0:30:5975's the bid. Is there £80 anywhere for the chaise longue?
0:30:59 > 0:31:03I shall sell at £75, then. All done?
0:31:03 > 0:31:07- I can't believe that. - That was a good sale.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11£15 over the top estimate. Will we fare as well
0:31:11 > 0:31:15with the next piece of furniture?
0:31:15 > 0:31:22- Tell me about this chair. - It was my mum's. My dad gave it to me as he's downsized now.
0:31:22 > 0:31:28He asked if I wanted it. So I've had it in my garage for the last few years.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33I didn't want to give it away, but it'll go to a good cause now.
0:31:33 > 0:31:39Bids on the book start with me at 35, 45, 50. £50 with me on commission.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44I'm looking for 5 in the room. 5. I've got 60. 5 in the room.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Is there 70 anywhere? 70. 5.
0:31:48 > 0:31:5180. 5. Yes, I've got 85.
0:31:51 > 0:31:5590? 85 is the bid, to my left.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58I'm selling it now at 85.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- Thank you!- Yeah, well done.
0:32:02 > 0:32:07'That was a sentimental piece for Joe to part with.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12'Up next is the watercolour print and book valued at £30-£50.'
0:32:15 > 0:32:18This is the Alwyn Crawshaw print and the book.
0:32:18 > 0:32:24- This came from the charity?- Yes. - Because it's a print, we won't get a vast amount for it,
0:32:24 > 0:32:29- but I put £30-£50 on it so let's hope we get lots.- Fingers crossed.
0:32:29 > 0:32:34Let's get it up! Give them a chance! Eh, Joe?
0:32:34 > 0:32:39Yeah, get it up. It's signed by Mr Cranshaw. He was a very good painter.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43He done my kitchen. LAUGHTER
0:32:43 > 0:32:48It is signed by Mr Cranshaw, Joe. You're right. Start me at £30.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51At 30. Who wants it?
0:32:51 > 0:32:5430 I'm bid. Looking for 5.
0:32:54 > 0:32:5830 I'm bid. Looking for 5. All done at 30.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Yeah! Well done. Thank you very much.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05'It looks as if Joe's sweet talking did the trick.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09'All the money we raise today will help people with cerebral palsy.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13'I wonder if Joe has any idea how much we've made so far.'
0:33:13 > 0:33:17OK, that's the halfway point.
0:33:17 > 0:33:23- I think we've done better than I anticipated. Have you added it up? - I have.- How much is it?
0:33:23 > 0:33:28£500 you wanted. At this halfway stage, you have got £280!
0:33:28 > 0:33:32- Brilliant, innit? - Very good. Everything's sold.
0:33:32 > 0:33:39- I think we'll get a break now. - There's a few pieces I liked. Can I go now?- You may indeed.
0:33:43 > 0:33:50If you'd like to raise money for a special cause, note that most sale rooms charge additional fees
0:33:50 > 0:33:56such as VAT and commission. Rates vary from house to house, so do enquire in advance.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Look what I found.
0:34:00 > 0:34:06I have no idea what this is or anything about it on the professional level,
0:34:06 > 0:34:11other than a couple of things. It reminds me of when I was a kid.
0:34:11 > 0:34:17I was 5 or 6 and went to see Peter Pan with my nan, starring Wendy Craig.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22That drew me to it at first, but I do a bit of painting myself
0:34:22 > 0:34:25so I'm always interested in composition.
0:34:25 > 0:34:31Here there's a couple of double basses. When you look at it, it looks like
0:34:31 > 0:34:38part of the decor there, but it's a double bass. So nothing was happening on the stage
0:34:38 > 0:34:42when this was being drawn, but the most intriguing part
0:34:42 > 0:34:48is this lady here. There's somebody else and they've got their elbow there.
0:34:48 > 0:34:55They've got their back to the viewer. I find her the most intriguing part of this picture.
0:34:55 > 0:35:01'Someone in the crowd likes it just as much as Joe and it's sold for £60.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03'Time to get back to business.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07'Joe's determined to flex those muscles.'
0:35:07 > 0:35:12Thank you. This is the special piece from the Joe Pasquale collection.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14I'll give you a little background.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19First of all, I'll let you know the price range I was looking for.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21This is very special to me.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26I don't need it any more as I have bulked up anyway.
0:35:26 > 0:35:33I was looking for about four grand, but Jonty has said that I should start at about 20 quid.
0:35:33 > 0:35:39So we'll start the bidding at £20. Who'll give me £20 for this lovely Maximus Aurelius body suit?
0:35:39 > 0:35:43£20. We're looking for £20. Yes, that lady over there!
0:35:43 > 0:35:50Well done. 20 quid. You'll look good in this. I bet you're begging for me now.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Do we go in fives? £25 for the body suit?
0:35:54 > 0:35:56£25? £25?
0:35:56 > 0:35:5925 there, Joe.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Oh, there's a foxy bloke! Well done, sir.
0:36:02 > 0:36:07He's a lot of bloke. OK. Do we have £27?
0:36:07 > 0:36:13That lady, would you like £27? Oh, you foxy mama! She's begging for me now.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Do we have £30? £30!
0:36:16 > 0:36:23Do we have £32? £32? I don't want to force you. You know you want it, love.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27Do we have 35 in the corner? Don't let me force you. Yes!
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Are you...? Yeah! £36!
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Will you go up 50p? £36.50?
0:36:33 > 0:36:36I'm at £36. 50p?
0:36:36 > 0:36:42£36 to the foxy lady. A big round of applause! There's one other bid!
0:36:42 > 0:36:46What do you want? 40 quid? Yeah.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50You're on, son! 40 quid. Do you want it? It's up to you.
0:36:50 > 0:36:5541! ..Sorry, love. You nearly got shot of it, then.
0:36:55 > 0:37:00£41 to the foxy lady. A big round of applause. Thank you. Well done.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05Well done, everyone. Thank you. I'm going, cos I'm lactating.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- He sold it, did he?- Yeah!- 41.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13'So he's not only good at getting a laugh,
0:37:13 > 0:37:16'he got a brilliant sale, too.
0:37:16 > 0:37:22'Our next lot was commissioned after Joe stole the show in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.'
0:37:22 > 0:37:26I wonder how this will do. Your King of the Jungle picture,
0:37:26 > 0:37:32which I love. Lots of memories for us, but not for anyone else here.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36I think there will be some interest. That was six years ago.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39It's worth something to somebody.
0:37:39 > 0:37:45- Julie, feeling good about it? - Yes, there's lots of Joe Pasquale fans that'll...
0:37:45 > 0:37:49(I'll have the money later.)
0:37:49 > 0:37:5240 I'm bid. Looking for 5.
0:37:52 > 0:37:555. 50.
0:37:55 > 0:37:575? 60?
0:37:57 > 0:38:0160, sir? I shall sell it at 55.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06Take it while it's hot! Yeah, well done, sir.
0:38:06 > 0:38:12'It took a bit of time to warm up, but we got there in the end.'
0:38:12 > 0:38:18- OK, this is the lovely vase that was given by the charity.- Yeah.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- It's got quite a bit of damage. - It's all chipped and cracked.
0:38:22 > 0:38:29- I've still put £50 to maybe even £100 on it, so let's see what happens.- As long as it goes.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Absolutely. Here it comes.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Start me at £40.
0:38:34 > 0:38:3930 I'm bid. Is there 2 anywhere? I am bid £30.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43I'm looking for 2. I shall sell at £30.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47No advance at 30? It's got to go at 30.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- He let it go.- Let it go.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56'A bit of a disappointment there, but perhaps it was the damage
0:38:56 > 0:38:59'that made the difference.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03'The sale of our brown jug brought another £30.'
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- Well done.- We liked that.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09'But we're still a way off the £500 target,
0:39:09 > 0:39:15'so everything rests on our final lot. Will Elton do it for us?'
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- Do you think it'll go?- Yeah.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22If you like Elton John, it'll go. If not, no one will want it.
0:39:22 > 0:39:29- See any Elton John fans? - To be honest, no, I don't! Des O'Connor fans. That's about it.
0:39:29 > 0:39:35- Sorry, Des.- You're so rude. There might be commission bids. We'd like £100.
0:39:35 > 0:39:41- It's got to be worth that. - If they don't sell it here, they can sell it somewhere else.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43It's collectable.
0:39:43 > 0:39:48Start me at £80. Is there 60 anywhere?
0:39:48 > 0:39:5160 I'm bid. £60 I'm bid.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Is there 5? 5? 60 I'm bid.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57It's a good thing. 5. 70. 5.
0:39:57 > 0:39:5980. 5. 90.
0:39:59 > 0:40:045. 100? I shall sell it at £95 to our own Jonty lookalike.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09I'm selling at 95. Are you all done at 95, then?
0:40:11 > 0:40:16- Yeah! Well done, sir. 95 quid, that's good.- OK?- Yeah.
0:40:16 > 0:40:22'It could have been better, but not a bad note to end on. So how much have we raised?'
0:40:22 > 0:40:27- That's the end of the day. - It was a lot better than I thought.
0:40:27 > 0:40:33- These people have been great. - I was a bit worried and I think Jonty was
0:40:33 > 0:40:39- whether we could get anywhere near your target.- Cos all my stuff is pants!- You said it!
0:40:39 > 0:40:43But you did very well and some of the furniture was good.
0:40:43 > 0:40:48- You did brilliantly with the muscle man.- They know a bit of class.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52- £500 you were looking for.- Yep. - You've made...531.- No?
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Put it there, son.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- Well done, love. Brilliant. - Well done.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02- It'll mean a lot to the charity. - Yes. I really enjoyed it.
0:41:06 > 0:41:11I think the charity are going to be over the moon with that.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Considering I was selling a load of old BLEEP, it was great!
0:41:15 > 0:41:20'Janice Dennis is the Chair of the Smiley Steps Centre in Kent.'
0:41:20 > 0:41:26Cerebral palsy is a cerebral haemorrhage and it can happen at birth or even after birth.
0:41:26 > 0:41:31It affects their ability, physical ability and mental ability.
0:41:31 > 0:41:39They all have different severities of cerebral palsy, so some do some things and others do others.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Some are using walking frames. All different severities.
0:41:43 > 0:41:48'The money Joe raised will buy toys and learning tools for the children.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53'One person who has seen the difference first hand is Louise Taylor,
0:41:53 > 0:41:58'who has come here with her son Joshua for the past two years.'
0:41:58 > 0:42:02When Joshua came he was 17 months and he couldn't even sit up.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06All he could do was lay on the floor and roll to play.
0:42:06 > 0:42:13Within one month, they had him sitting up, which changed his whole perspective on the world.
0:42:13 > 0:42:21He's now taking independent steps to walk around the room. The centre has been fantastic for us.
0:42:25 > 0:42:31We were all chuffed for Joe. What a nice guy and a great result for him and his charity.
0:42:31 > 0:42:37If you'd like to raise money for something special and might have some antiques around the house,
