In this clip from the first episode of Sale of the Century, host Tony Barber and hostess Victoria Nicolls attempt to wheedle guest Grant into spending 9 of his hard earned dollars - "it's only a snack!" Tony says to the crowd - on some large stuffed toys of his choosing. You can see Yosemite Sam in the background, and Syvester is hiding in the corner, while Nicolls sparkles in a purple dress in front of a looming giraffe.

Barber is in fine form, chatting to the contestant and Nicolls, before engaging the crowd with a "buy or build?" question that causes them to chant "buy!" back at him.
