The Yorkshire Auction House

While exploring, Angus discovers a sealed bottle of whisky dating from the 1940s together with a set of Victorian‑era Christmas crackers. At the subsequent auction the items fetch a high price, ultimately being exchanged for a vintage cabin crew uniform.

Angus Pulls A Cracker is a programme presented in a single episode format. The show follows its host, Angus, as he investigates curiosities and hidden finds, offering viewers a glimpse into the unexpected items that can surface in everyday settings. Its straightforward structure keeps the focus on the objects uncovered and the stories they trigger. In this particular episode, Angus comes across two remarkable pieces: an untouched bottle of whisky dating back to the 1940s and a collection of Victorian‑era Christmas crackers. Both items are still sealed, preserving their original condition and hinting at the history they carry. Angus’s discovery sets the stage for the next part of the story, where the items are put up for public sale. The auction sees the whisky and the crackers presented together, drawing the attention of bidders who value their rarity. Ultimately, the highest bid is placed on an old cabin crew uniform, which wins the lot. The uniform, rather than the spirits or the festive novelties, becomes the focal point of the sale, illustrating how unexpected items can attract the most interest. The episode therefore highlights the serendipitous nature of finding and auctioning antiques, showing how a single discovery can lead to a surprising outcome when historical objects meet the modern market.
