In Episode 16, Jon and Alexander talk about corner cupboards, why furniture is always at the end of an auction (well, mostly) and why timed auctions are like Marmite. They also discuss the ongoing antics of Sexy John Rolfe, see the welcome return of 'Did They Get it Wrong' and introduce a new Antiques Trade Gazette featurette. All this and also having time to talk about yet another Titanic watch.

This is getting to be something of a habit. A run of regular shows and then a big gap. "Okay, we know, and we're sorry, but we really do have a good excuse this time". So apart from Alexander's explanation for the haitus, the two antique podsters get stuck into answering a question posed by a lovely listener which is . . . how does someone get a career in the antiques world? And while answering this head scratcher, Jonny gives his honest opinion about the state of the industry (no spoilers, but it isn't great) and Alexander does his best to use the word 'bankable' as many times as possible within an hour. All of this while enjoying a snifter of a single malt whisky from, of all places, Cheshire.

Merry Christmas! In this episode the boys have a 'most wonderful time' toasting the festive season with a nice beverage which, naturally enough, has a story to it. They discuss the extraordinary result of a Christmas movie prop selling at auction, and the relative merits of yuletide motion pictures. Is there actually a good one? A seasonal 'Did They Get It Wrong' extended version, in which Alexander tries hopelessly to justify the tenuous links in the objects chosen to Christmas and John shares his opinion on cigars (spoiler - he doesn't like them much). The Antiques Trade Gazette gets a massive amount of product placement (still no endorsement) in a special ATG Pun-Down. And we also find out which sexy man has emptied his sack in a special Christmas auction. Who could it be? All this and more antiques-X-xmas banter between your hosts as they fail to moderate their drinking.

Have a Cool Yule, everyone.
