Bogus is an antique stealer. He's lying and deceiving people in order to buy precious antiques at very low prices. Bogus created a false identity for himself, pretending to work for an organization associated with the Victoria and Albert Museum. One day he found an extremely rare and valuable item of furniture, a Chippendale commode. The moment when he sees it is quite interesting because he can hardly contain his surprise. As I said at the beginning of the episode, these days, these items could be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds or even millions.
