Selling An Artwork

Does anyone have an idea how I could go about selling a small limited-edition etching by a very famous 20th century artist, that doesn't involve internet auction sites?

How dire was this?! They may well have spent a small fortune on each episode, but, alas, none of it seemed to have gone on the script, which was toe-curlingly awful. The king talking about his brother...

Private Eye 572

Gutless Miliband's bad management (5) I'm pretty sure it has to be ADMIN, an anagram of Miliband without LIB, but that's only part of the 'guts' of Miliband. Am I missing something?

Emmerdale - Paddy

How are we meant to believe Paddy has gone to Germany to work as a vet, when he's already admitted (when Rhona was also going) he can't speak German? He wouldn't know his Artz from his Elbe

Oh No, It's Michael Ball

He's back - the unbearable Michael Ball standing in for Ken Bruce, with his campness and irritating giggle turned up to 11. I'm off to Radio 3!

Manager Damp Squib

Well, after all the hype and build-up, that was a particularly dull last episode. Hero wins the day, baddie gets his comeuppance. What, no twist, no excitement? Bah!
