Toogood, Selwyn, 1916-2001

Part one of "It's In The Bag" with Selwyn Toogood, from the Dannevirke Town Hall in about 1955. No commercials included, but good "R I N S O" shout at beginning. This is the only early episode held, contestants guess "The Thing" for prizes of Rotochef Infra-red Cooker, Motor Mower, Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner, Electric Shaver, etc. Woman finally gets to go for a bag - excellent version of Toogood haggling, finally offering 29 pounds ten shillings. Woman takes the bag, prolonged asides from Toogood until he announces she has won Feltex floor covering (a lower quality 1950s carpeting) to the value of 125 pounds. "By Hokey" not included but a good "What do you think customers?" is.
