Lord Charles was a familiar face on TV in the 1960s and 1970s

Robbie William's bed sold for �8,225 - but some lots failed to sell at all.

The original Lord Charles ventriloquist's dummy, recently re-discovered by its manipulator and owner Ray Alan, was expected to fetch �6,000, but did not sell.

Some movie memorabilia - a Praetorian Guard costume from Gladiator and some theatre wallpaper from Moulin Rouge - also failed to sell.

Original artwork

But Charlie Chaplin's signature fetched �258, and a joint signature by Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh sold for �493.

And the original artwork for the childcatcher's cloak in the hit film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang raised �564.

Paul McCartney was caught in the cine clip

The picture of the yellow and orange cloak, signed by the child catcher himself, Robert Helpmann, was valued at just �200.

The rare piece of Beatles cine film was taken by chance in Newquay, where David Arrowsmith spotted the group filming Magical Mystery Tour.

He said: "I was on holiday with my family and all of a sudden they went past us in a bus.

"We followed them and then they pulled up at the side of the road."

The film had been left in Mr Arrowsmith's shed for the past 35 years.
