And, out of the blue strange things started to happen around him. Neighbors cattle died; crops failed. The tribe became convinced that he was possessed by devils. Eventually he was driven out into the jungle. They ritually speared him to death. Well, im not a great fan of paul dooley but i dont think id quite advocate that. Its a different culture youre speaking of. Is it . Hed recently taken a wife. The witch doctor wanted the same woman. Now, it seems to me that revenge is a common motive in every culture. So whos our witch doctor then . Not a single solitary bite in two days well, i cant understand that. Its the most soughtafter sturgeon fishing for miles. Maybe the salmon and the trout refused to buy a pass as well. Hey, edso, i hear youre givin crash courses in how to become a drivin instructor.

Showroom condition. I can quote you a deal. At less than showroom prices. I think we should discuss this outside dont you . They didnt get the idea out of thin air. Oonagh, i didnt put them up to it oh, no but youre a lovely influence they saw you milking this ghost business and followed suit rubbish dermot never listens to a word i say invitin the press here. Pouncing around on television. Its no wonder they go off the rails with you for a role model. Same again. Ah, ned. Oonagh, ned. Hows it goin, lads . Man you could die of old age before you found a fish in that river. I cant understand it. Normally theyre leapin out at you.

Not being a regular attender and all, but, ah, isnt there some sort of exorcism thing, huh . See, oonaghs a bag of nerves. An exorcism is meant to banish a demon from a possessed person.

Could it have been a bird . Maybe. Louie . sound of the wind dog howls swindled me out of me cottage takin up all the fishin. He asked for it. Now, pay Kathleen Hendley eight thousand pounds.

No fish left in it are there . laughing no laughing matter all this. Vince no actual offense has been committed has there, gard . Hasnt there . Theres a serious offense on the statute, father.

Brendan ah, for gods sake shake his hand go on. A shot. That calls for a toast. To the memory of finbargh corcoran. Ay may he definitely rest in peace. All finbargh corcoran. crash captioned by captioneering your closed captioning resource fiona bruce remembeour outstanding finds at leeds castle last week . And that celebration of our henrys birthday . cheering it was quite a day. Such a dayin fact, that we had enough objects for a second helping. So, welcome to the roadshow at leeds castle, take two. At first glance, you might imagine that leeds castle, just outside maidstone in kent, is the very model of an english country pile. It was one of the last wishes of leeds castles owner lady baillie that the location be used where important meetings and negotiations would take place. She wouldve been pleased to see events that unfolded here when, in 1977, the castle was chosen as a Meeting Place for European Community ministers. Later, in 2004 the angloirish summit was held here, attended by tony blair and the irish Prime Minister bertie ahern that led to the angloirish agreement, which, of course led to the current peace in northern ireland. And, in our own quiet way, we held something of an International Event there ourselves when the roadshow set up for a second helping. There were objects that were flown in from all around the world, and david battie got the ball rolling early on. Tell me, where did you have this hanging in your house . I used to have it hanging on the wall, but, not being my favorite object im afraid its just in the bedroom at the moment. Find it a bit difficult to take, do you . Just a bit, yeah. Its a bit sort of um. Strong. Very strong. It looks to me as if the colorist was on acid or he was smoking something a little on the strong side, and hed gone mad with the color. That makes sense yes, definitely. Do you know where it comes from, for anything about it . Um, my grandmother used to be a housemaid back in the 30s and early 40s. When she left that particular family, they asked her if she would like to take something from the household to remind her. And she chose this. How fascinating. That really is interesting. Have we got any information on the back . We have schutz. That means registered. Right. Gillii dont know what that is. No idea. So, we dont know who its by. Of what we are fairly certain is that it is german. Okay. And we can also be fairly certain about when it was made. This one will date around 1875, 1885 Something Like that. Weve got influences here from the east. And this guys an arab and hes actually, he looks a bit like me, which is worrying. Not so great though, david. No, thank you very much. On a carpet. This is very aesthetic movement. This is the movement which was sparked off by japan in the late 1860s, early 70s. But spread through picking up references to the middle east and china as well. This is majolica wear. Yes. This is german majolica wear. And the market for that was incredibly strong 20 years ago 15 years ago but is slacker now. Its still strong for anything which is exceptional. The market is american and i think they would like this. I think this would make somewhere between £1,500 and £2,500. Wow. I was expecting about £100 or £200. Here we are on this sunny day, looking at an even sunnier picture. Somewhere in italy i believe. Florence . Florence, absolutely. I just think its a beautifully executed picture. We can see the duomo here and the campanile, and i think were looking from the boboli gardens at florence. What a meticulously beautiful picture. Have you had it for a long time . Uh, well for a few years, but my husband, i think, bought it at a boot fair. I suddenly realized it was in the house, and it hadnt been there before, so i assumed thats where he got it from. Im already beginning to be very jealous because i guess he bought it for absolutely nothing. He wouldnt have paid very much for it. He didnt believe in paying very much at boot fairs. Well, exactly. Do you know about the artist . No, i dont. Well, shes quite well known. Shes called antonietta brandeis. I hope i pronounced her name right. But shes czechoslovakian. Ah. And i think she was born in 1849 and she died in 1910 so i guess this would be dated from, what, 1870 . 1862. Its on the back. 1862 . So i was eight years off. So, not too bad. Her work appears on the market regularly. This is so nice. And theyre always in these very small formats. Theyre almost like postcards. Have you ever had it valued . No. Ah. Well, i guess Something Like this would make between £7,000 and £10,000 at auction. My goodness that was a good find. Good find. So, clever husband. Yes. He wouldve been delighted. Exactly. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Weve got two lovely german bronzes. How on earth did they end up in england . They belonged to my mother. My mothers german. She was born in berlin in 1924, and she grew up with these pieces in her family home. After the war, she came to england in 1948 with the berlin airlift, and these stayed in germany in the family home. My grandmother there died in 1973 and my mother and i went over to berlin, and we had to sort everything out. And we bought a load of stuff back with us, and these are the two best pieces. And your mother, you said, came out of the berlin airlift . Yes, i think they took in potatoes and brought out refugees. Ha in a dakota. How brilliant. Well, whoever collected these i assume it was the previous generation to your grandmother obviously had very good taste. These are both german bronzes. This one here, by thiele of 1898, reminds me of a very famous painting by a man called jeanetienne liotard called la belle chocolatiere, which is a very painting of a girl with a tray with chocolate cups on it, and shes a maid with a mob cap. Im sure the pose is certainly inspired by that. I always thought she waan empress but, uh, probably not. Well, i dont know. Im not sure how were going to know. But i dont think she was an empress. I think shed have had jewels, rather than just a little ribbon round her neck. I think if youre an empress, you want to flash it. But this bronze here the lady the water carrier is by a chap called Victor Heinrich seifert,
