Goodies go under the hammer

Published Date: 19 September 2010

Items from The Goodies went to bidders from across the world at an auction hosted by show creator Bill Oddie.

The star was at Tring Market Auctions on Saturday to flog some of his memorabilia as part of BBC show Cash in the Celebrity Attic.

Joined by presenter Angela Rippon and antiques expert John Cameron, he raked in around £1,350 for the International Primate Protection League.

The most expensive item - a shooting script from The Goodies and The Beanstalk and VHS tape of the first episode - went under the hammer for £550 to a pre-sale bid from a fan association in Australia.

The Goodies vinyl records also were bought for £240, almost double the sale estimate, by an American bidder.

BBC spokesman Sally Kent said: "Our expert speculated it could have been down to the unique nature of one of the records.

"It contained a novelty song written by Bill before he joined The Goodies, concerning the 1966 World Cup, but it was never released."

She added: "We filmed at Tring a couple of times last year and were made to feel welcome, so we have been looking for an opportunity to return."

That's the first script I've ever seen up for grabs in all my years of searching. What ballpark figure do you reckon it'll eventually fetch? 120-odd pounds?

Please note that the time for Bill's auction has been changed from 9:30am to 12pm (London time).

Thanks Lisa!
I've emailed the auction house about whether:
a) They take pre-sale bids from overseas.
b) They can arrange postage.

As we'd like to get a script, we my need to ask a favour of someone in the UK to collect it and post it to us!
