Ventriloquist doll collection up for auction

A collection of ventriloquist dolls are set to go under the hammer.

More than 20 dolls make up one of the more unusual lots in a two-day auction being held on 31 August and 1 September by Charterhouse Auctioneers.

They come in different shapes and sizes, with colourful costumes, and some are more than 100-years-old.

Auctioneer Richard Bromell said some of the dolls were "a little bit scary".
