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.
