Take A Piece Of The Action--Props You'd Love To Own

[Tiddles]

If there'd been a great big sale or auction when the show ended, of all the props, costumes and furnishings used on AYBS? what item(s) would you have wanted to buy or to have won for your own enjoyment?

[luv_ya_humphries]

I honestly can't remember the name of the episode but the male model in the episode that everyone assumes it's Mrs Slocombe 50th birthday.

The one that goes "I like it, I like it" and his lights go off.

Speaking of which I'd also like Mrs Slocombe's birthday present so I can finally figure out what it is :lol:

[Very Young Mr Grace]

I would like the store display of Young Mr. Grace saying "Welcome to my store.....welcome to my store" where his head pops off!

I would also like one of the original measuring tapes that Mr. Grainger wore around his neck. Oh, and one of Mrs. Slocombe's wigs would be cool too!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

The pictures on Rumbolds wall

The Big Picture of YMG on the board room wall

A Grace Brothers Bag

[Lucas The Tucas]

Fot me a couple of the Ties of WCH. and JDL. and CP. Hat.

[dazzlestar14]

I would like to purchase Mr.Humphries "70s Electric Disco" costume from "Roots?" or one of the funky glasses that they sold.

[slats7]

Mr Lucas' fake chest hair. :D

[Jeff Humphries]

I would like to purchase Mr.Humphries "70s Electric Disco" costume from "Roots?" or one of the funky glasses that they sold.

Or Dazzle, the outfit that Mr. Humphries wore in the old order changes.

The "signing in" book.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Mollie's Dolly Parton Wig

Her skin tight green corset get up she wore in the beauty contest

Either that or the "Firm You Up, Fat Fighter Control Corset" display :lol:

The one that goes "I like it, I like it" and his lights go off.

That's Mr. Graingers "Revolving Hat" Display. The one that had a nervous breakdown from Mrs. Slocombe's Corset Display hee hee.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Anything with a Grace Bros. logo.

[Tiddles]

Well if you guys have room in your houses for a LIFT then I can certainly find a place for that GIGANTIC portrait of YMG that's in the .... :roll: ......boardroom.

:lol:

Seriously...I hope that was given to Harold Bennett's family when he passed.

[dazzlestar14]

What about the saltana in Grainger's ear? :o

[Lucas The Tucas]

[Mr. Harmon]

Actually, if I had the kind of $$$ that it would take, I would try to find out if the original sets were still in the property storage at the BBC (they tend to keep them for decades) and see if I could buy them.

I would then take them on a tour of PBS stations for their fundraisers ($7.00 a knob to come in and tour the orginal set :mrgreen: Maybe have your picture taken behind one of the counters, or in Mr. Rumbolds office )

[Tiddles]

($7.00 a bob)

Nob. As in "head." :wink: Property storage...now there's an idea. I wonder if such a thing really exists and they re-use AYBS? stuff to this day on other Britcoms. :D

[Mr. Harmon]

Hee hee I must have been editing while you were replying hee hee.

I wouldn't doubt it, every time I see the episode "The Apartment" I'm struck by how much the "Grace Brothers Ideal Home" display looks like the back kitchen wall from Good Neighbors. :wink: (the wall with their back door on it that is :D)

I know that most studios do have property storage rooms where they store sets (at least here in the U.S.) where many sets sit for decades. Most (if not all) of the original Brady Bunch set is still in storage to this day and dragged out from time to time, assembled and used to film various specials.

Would definitely become a partner in this venture buddy !!!! On one condition, I get to live on the set for a year !!!!! :lol2:

Not sure that is a good idea, Greg....Grainger's ghost might be out and about.

[Mr. Harmon]

LOL!!! Yeah, you might wake up one night and there he is, measuring you up for a pair of wings and telling you that they'll ride up with wear :lol2:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

More like an asbestos suit !!! :gww:

[Mr. Harmon]

I saw the definitive "must have" prop tonight (in fact I thought of this thread when I saw it).

The Mrs. Slocombe and Mr. Humphries Display Models!!!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

The Mrs. Slocombe and Mr. Humphries Display Models!!!

I've always wondered, were they done for Madme Trousou's (or how ever the Hell you spell it) Wax Museum ???? :shrug:

[dazzlestar14]

I would like the microphone that Mr.Spooner sung into on "The Pop Star"!

[Lucas The Tucas]

You better grab it quick Dazz...You know how much Greg likes "SPOONER".

:lol: :lol:

Lucas :D

[dazzlestar14]

I had to fight him for it hard! Just like the time we both wanted OMG's glasses, lol! :o

[sonosun]

:phone: :phone:

One for each of them. :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I loved those really thick one !!!! :lol2:

[shelf2740]

Mr Lucas' fake chest hair.

:X Now imagine if the world was like that.:I

[Old Mr. Grace]

I'd take the bean bag and the Murphy bed from "Friends and Neighbors". Maybe when I press Lady Chatterly, Miss Belfridge will come down with the bed (minus the babies). :lol:

[amy2375]

I'd want a pair of the naughty knickers, I can't decide which particular pair I'd want though, haha!

I'd also love to get my hands on:
one of Mrs. Slocombe's ruffled blouses
a few wibbly wobblies (can't believe you didn't think of that Greg!)
a grace bros. bag (always wanted one of those)

and there was this blue tie that was on display in a few of the episodes. It was different shaded blue swirls and I always thought it was so cool looking!

[amy2375]

More props I'd love to have:

Mr. Humphries' gold watch and chain
Mrs. Slocombe's purse (the one with the real crocodile teeth from "Betting Fever")
Mrs. Slocombe's thermos (the one she brings in "Cold Store" filled with rum and pep!)
A bottle of Bliss perfume

much more to come I'm sure!

[luv_ya_humphries]

I've thought about it again and I've got a list

Miss Brahm's Outfit from Happy Returns actually the whole casts outfit from Happy returns (when they sang Stepping Out With My Baby)

A Wibbly Wobbly (preferbly Roger)



And I can't for the life of me remember what episode it is from (I know it was this week) the part of the display unit that ends up rubbing Mr Humphries bottom and him thinking it was Captain Peacock.

[dazzlestar14]

You people are really creative!
I don't know if this one was mentioned or not, but I would like to take a miner's helmet from "Roots?"

[Punch_N_Judy]

LOL!!! Yeah, you might wake up one night and there he is, measuring you up for a pair of wings and telling you that they'll ride up with wear :lol2:

ROFL!

Well, I guess I would want one of the lifts too!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I want those damned pictures in Rumbold's office !!!

[offthefloor]

i would want the chair grainger always fell asleep in, the cotton miss brahms stuffed her chest with, and that display for the rubber gloves that slocombe altered so it gave jugears the two fingers solute ( i want the altered one of course)

I love the Sensi Touch display too !!!!

[offthefloor]

The suggestion box is a good one !! I'd like that as well.

Edit: Since it's been two years, it's time to re-ask the question and see what the new people think!
