0:00:03 > 0:00:06MUSIC: "Video Killed The Radio Star" by Buggles
0:00:06 > 0:00:11So, video killed the radio star, did it? Well, not on this programme.
0:00:11 > 0:00:17Because our two famous faces today are equally famed for their fabulous voices
0:00:17 > 0:00:22and they're being welcomed with open arms, as we go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Hello, and welcome to Bargain Hunt Famous Finds.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Ha! That's enough of him.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55It's all about radio today
0:00:55 > 0:00:58at Alfie's Antiques Market, in jolly old London
0:00:58 > 0:01:02as our disc jockey famous finders go head-to-head.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Or should I say, mike-to-mike?
0:01:07 > 0:01:13We're used to their confident, dulcet tones on the airways.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18But have they got what it takes to bargain and spin a profit?
0:01:18 > 0:01:23Of course, they do have the advantage of their very own hand-picked expert
0:01:23 > 0:01:26and £300 to go and find their three items.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30And the team that makes the most profit, gets Top Of The Pops.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36For the Red team, we have the multi award-winning DJ, Mike Read.
0:01:36 > 0:01:42He's been in the business for over 30 years, going professional when he started at Reading's Radio 210.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Radio One beckoned a few years later
0:01:45 > 0:01:49and Mike soon became a household name, both on radio and as a TV presenter.
0:01:49 > 0:01:56A whole generation of young people woke up to watch Mike on Saturday Superstore.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58If you want to avert your eyes, you can.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01We have a selection of highlights from this series coming up.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04If you want to run screaming into the other room, going, "Aaah!
0:02:04 > 0:02:07"I can't bear to see them again." Here they come.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09He was also a regular on Top Of The Pops.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Here's a guy who doesn't need loads of money.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14At number nine this week, Prince, with Alphabet Street.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16He's an author, painter and songwriter.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19So, obviously, a man of many talents.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22But, will those hold him in good stead, today?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26So, Mike, you've been in the public eye now for a long time.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28How did you first start in radio?
0:02:28 > 0:02:34Well, I got into local radio, it was run by a guy called Neil.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38He called me over and said, "Look, I want you on my radio station for three reasons."
0:02:38 > 0:02:43He said, "You're very English, you're mildly eccentric and you're a good opening bowler."
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- Ha!- He was starting a cricket team, as well.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49I was a fast bowler at the time. 'Course, I got progressively slower over the years
0:02:49 > 0:02:54until I didn't bowl at all. But at the time, it was being a fast bowler, I rather suspect, that got me in.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56What sort of things do you collect?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I'm an unwitting collector. I never mean to collect things.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04- But I have about a million tracks in my record collection. A big photo library.- How many tracks?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- A million tracks.- A million tracks?!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Yes.- But you also have literary interests, don't you?
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Yes. My first stage musical was on Rupert Brooke. I've always written poetry.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18And then we founded the Rupert Brooke Society, at Grantchester, in 1999.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I edited the magazine for many years, and was chairman.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23And I've got a lot of Brooke memorabilia.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28We're going to find out more, about one of those collections, later on in the programme.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31But who have you brought with you, today, to help with the Red team?
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I've brought the masterful and knowledgeable Ken Wharf here, who's an expert.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- How do you do, Ken? - Thank you. Thanks for that, Mike.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40And what walk of life have you come from, Ken?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Well, when I first met Mike, in the late '80s,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I was at that time working for the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51- Were you?- I was doing what they call a reconnaissance, in Austria.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I was a lone figure, in a luxurious five-star hotel.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58And I was very envious of this group of drinkers to my right.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01One of them was the celebrated Mike Read and Sir Cliff.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I think Mike felt sorry for me, this guy on his own
0:04:04 > 0:04:06and said, come over for a drink. Which I did.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- Were you a Royal Protection Officer, then, officially?- Yeah, yeah.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13I joined the Royal Protection Squad, at Scotland Yard, in 1986. Great, great period of time.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17So, Mike, how are you going to fare today, as a bargain hunter?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20I think we're on fire. I think we're at match fitness now.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22We're just ready to peak and ready to go. I'm, I'm...
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Bring it on, now, is the... - That's brave fighting stuff.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I think you're going to make an excellent team.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32We're looking forward to this. Let's see who the Reds are up against.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35It's BBC2 DJ Janice Long.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40BBC Radio Merseyside, in Liverpool, was the first stop for Janice's presenting career.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45She became known for the live Streetlife sessions.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47She then moved on to Radio 1.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Where she became the first female DJ to present Top Of The Pops.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- This is Janice's mum's all-time favourite singer.- Hi, Mum.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Tonight you've come as a wing half.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- And I've come as a Picasso painting. - Thanks(!)
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Janice has always been a champion of new music.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05She now presents the midnight to 3AM slot on Radio 2.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08But has she had enough sleep today to give Mike a run for his money?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11So, Janice, welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Thank you for having me. Hello. - Hello.- Hello.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16How did your big break come about, then?
0:05:16 > 0:05:21I applied to the BBC. Didn't get the job. They said I wasn't very worldly.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24So, I applied and got a job to be an air stewardess.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Cos I speak a couple of languages and I thought, I can use them.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31After being an air stewardess, I went off and tried to hitch to Greece.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Ran out of money in Amsterdam, and ended up living in a tent for nearly a year.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Went off grape picking after that. Came back to the UK
0:05:38 > 0:05:44and a letter from the Beeb had followed me around, sort of saying, yes, now you're worldly.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Ah!- Then I got offered a job at Radio 1.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Now I'm at Radio 2, and still, you know, searching for new bands
0:05:50 > 0:05:52and having bands in session, and stuff, which I love.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Well, in this programme, we recently had your brother, Keith Chegwin.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Has he been giving you any tips? - No, he's tight-lipped.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- What, Keith Chegwin? - Wouldn't give me one hint.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03All he said was, "You'll have a lovely time.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05"Lovely people." "What goes on?" "I'm not telling you."
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Really?! Now, who have you brought along with you?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Well, I asked my son, Fred...
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Fred... if he would like to do it.- Yes.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Expecting him to go, "Not doing that."
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- And he went, "Yeah. Be happy to come along." So, here he is. - Very nice to meet you, Fred.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Nice to meet you, too. - So, what do you get up to? What are your ambitions?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Videos, films, music videos.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27At the moment, I'm making music videos.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Hopefully with a view to going into films. I'm writing a film at the moment, too.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- And do you mind my asking, how old are you, Fred?- 20. - 20 years of age.- Yup.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Well, we're going to have youthful enthusiasm.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40You do go back together professionally, for a long time.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Yeah, when I joined Radio 1, Mike was doing The Breakfast Show.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46And when you go somewhere, and they're all famous...
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Yes. - ..you don't know what's going on.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- He was nice to you.- He's an absolutely lovely, lovely man.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Why are you laughing when I said he was lovely man?! INDISTINCT REPLY
0:06:56 > 0:07:00They meet... they meet in Austrian bars, you see.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03When they're rubbing shoulders with European royalty.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Now, the money moment.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10£300 a piece. You know the rules. Your experts await, and off you go! And very, very, very good luck.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15Do you know something? All of this is music to my ears.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17They might be experts in the world of radio
0:07:17 > 0:07:23but they're going to get a bit of help from our experts in the field of antiques.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Tuning in for the Reds is Kate Bliss.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32And not singing but looking after the Blues is David Barby. Oh, dear!
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Oh, what do you think about this? - Visually, that's fantastic.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I like that.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44It's like going to a great aunt's for tea, when you're a kid, isn't it?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- It just wants sandwiches placed on it. Cucumber sandwiches, Mike, doesn't it?- No crusts.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- No crusts.- And a few iced fancies.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Oh, yes. Exceedingly good. Well, let's have a look at the plates.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58It's really nice to have three tiers on a cake stand. Rather than just two.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Little bit more unusual.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- I love the, sort of, primitive design of it.- Fantastic colours.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05They're really vibrant.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Now, this is... Here we go, we've got factory mark on the back here.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Minton's - a great British porcelain and pottery factory.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15But if we look closely, you can see the name is impressed there -
0:08:15 > 0:08:19in the pottery - and you've got some numbers underneath.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23So, ten for October and 29, for 1929.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- So, this is right at the height of Art Deco.- What is unusual, though...
0:08:27 > 0:08:29it's George V, it's British,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32and yet these pictures, to me, don't say British at all.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- It's almost got a, sort of, Austrian...mountain appearance to it.- It has, yes.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40But I love the colour scheme on it. I love the oranges with the pinks.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44And that sort of cream. Visually, I think it's a great piece.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49This particular design is by a lady called Joan Shorter.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Now, she was actually the adopted daughter of Clarice Cliff.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Oh!- So, there is a Clarice Cliff connection there.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02But pieces, perhaps a little more affordable, are, sort of, gaining momentum, I think.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04But I rather like it for it's naivety.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07They're almost, sort of, nursery images of the cow, there.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11There's no real theme to it. But the colours, when you consider...what 1929?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Are these enamel painted on? - Yes. It's transfer printed.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17And then hand-painted over the top, with these bright colours.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21That's a great thing to eat your sandwiches and your cakes off.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26- Cucumber sandwich.- I can see that going quite well at our auction cos it's got Art Deco appeal.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- So, I think we ought to find out what price it is, and what we can negotiate.- I think it's good.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35I see on here that famous old bread, the boy going up the hill with a bike.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36I think so.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41THEY HUM HOVIS ADVERT TUNE
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Ha, ha, ha! I don't know, those boys!
0:09:46 > 0:09:49They think they've got something unique at £45.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- But the Blue team seem to have similar tastes.- Well, Janice,
0:09:53 > 0:09:57this is the sort of thing that I did not expect you to pick up.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01I'm thinking that, that is the sort of thing that's collectable.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04It looks as though it would be sought after.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- That kind of Clarence, what's his name?- Cliff?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Cliff. Him? Her?- Her.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13And...so, you know, it's the sort of thing people are always on the look out for.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15And maybe it's part of an era. Who is it?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Well, that's a little pixie.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21And this was designed... There's the name there. What's it say?
0:10:21 > 0:10:22< Mabel.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Lucie Attwell. - That's right. Mabel Lucie Attwell.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29She worked for Shelley between 1928 and 1936.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34This one dates from probably around about 1928 period,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37because it's got this yellow lid. And that dates from that period.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- The teapot's shaped like a little toadstool.- It is.- It's so beautiful.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46It's echoes from the past, you know, the things that we might have seen in 1930 movies.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48This is quite delightful.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50I love this type of ware.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53It's pottery. And it's very collectable.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55You can get complete sets.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59We're missing the milk jug, sugar basin, little plates and little cups and saucers.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- But collectors will probably have those.- So, they just add?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Yes, they'll just add to these.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07You imagine a mass of them, on a wall, on a stand.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09They'd look superb.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I think this is absolutely super. Fred, do you like it?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I wouldn't particularly have it in my room, or anything.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- It's not you, is it? - It's a quirky little piece. I quite like the pixie on it.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Yes, I think it is quirky. That's a good interpretation of it.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Let's have a look at the mark.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Shelley. She fell out with Shelley in 1936.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32So this had a limited run. Between 1928 and 1936.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36OK. So, that makes it even more collectable?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Yes. Because how many of these have survived? There's no chips.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Spout's all right. Let's have a look at the lid.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46It's one of those difficult lids, that you can rarely open easily.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50There's no damage there. In fact, there's no staining inside. I wonder if it was ever used.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- No tanning. No.- I've just seen the price. Look, £145.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- Oh, Lord!- Not paying that.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58That's half our budget, isn't it?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Right. Fred, are you forceful?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Yeah, when I want to be. - God, you see how he said that?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06That's my boy.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Right, try and get the price... - Will do.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10..at a more reasonable figure.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15Fred used his forceful charm and got the Shelley teapot for £85
0:12:15 > 0:12:21leaving the Blues a healthy £215 for their next two items.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Mike, you brought some things to show us.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Yes.- That relate to Rupert Brooke.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Just tell us, what is it about Rupert Brooke
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- that really gets you going? - He looked modern.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Amongst all his contemporaries, he almost looked as if he belonged to
0:12:34 > 0:12:38a different era, considering he died at the age of 27.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Sort of, optimum age for a rock artist to die.
0:12:41 > 0:12:47And I think, had it been that era, his face would have been the badge, the T-shirt, etc. He was an icon.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51He was referred to as, you know, the most handsome man in England.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53He charmed people at Rugby, at Cambridge.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57He was the epitome of the young, blond hero that went to war.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59He was a tremendous poser in a way.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02He'd write five letters from one place in a day...
0:13:02 > 0:13:03one to his mother, one to a girlfriend,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06one to a friend, one to somebody else, one to an old lecturer.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09And they'd all portray a totally different man.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Now, you bought some pieces. Have these come from the museum?- Yeah.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17We set up the Rupert Brooke Society at The Orchard, at Grantchester. Where Brooke lived.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21This is Brooke's diary, when he was at The Orchard from 1908.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25There he is having breakfast with Geoffrey Keynes, Maynard Keynes' brother.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28He was an eminent surgeon. Maynard Keynes, famous economist.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31They were all part of the same circle. And there is the Fabian Society.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33He became a leading Fabian, but...
0:13:33 > 0:13:38- This is an incredibly personal document, then. - It's a very personal document.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- Mike, tell us about these? Sunglasses, I suppose they are, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44They're Brooke's sunglasses, that he took around with him.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- These were with him, quite a lot. - They're rather nice.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52Because you can sometimes get these sunglasses and spectacles with silver frames.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54But these are in steel.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59And what I think is really nice are these hinged sections filled with gauze.
0:13:59 > 0:14:05So, that if Brooke was wearing these in an open vehicle, in some way,
0:14:05 > 0:14:09you'd keep the muck out, from the corners of your eyes.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- And, they work. - We accept sunglasses now.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- But I'm guessing then, they would have been a little unusual.- Definitely.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19You'd have to have money, before you went and bought a pair like this.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- Well, congratulations on your passion.- Thank you.- And for sharing it with us.- Pleasure.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27# ..We're having fun sitting in the back seat
0:14:27 > 0:14:30# Kissing and a-hugging with Fred...# Oi, what you doing? >
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Fred, what are you doing? Phoning seven little girls? Ha!
0:14:33 > 0:14:37I was just looking at this phone. It's quite...retro.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- I like the look of it. I'd have that in my room. - You can't text on it.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I think that's absolutely fabulous.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44It's the sort of thing I would imagine you going for.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49- Do you like looking through the workings of things?- Yeah. It's quite... Ah, it's quite interesting.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Look, Janice, you can even see the bells inside. Can you see that?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55That is brilliant. And all the wires and connections.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00- I think this is called a skeleton phone.- Oh, right.- Cos you can see all the way through it.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Date wise, I think it's 1970s?
0:15:03 > 0:15:051970s, 1980s. That sort of period.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- These were produced by other companies, than the GPO.- Ah.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Because they had the monopoly on phones, up until a certain time
0:15:12 > 0:15:15which I think was the late '60s, early '70s.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20And then everybody started producing phones, in plastic mediums. Think of the Mickey Mouse ones.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Oh, exactly.- They were superb.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27And then you had a huge variety of colours. This is offbeat, cos you can see right through it.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30And I notice, whilst you're holding this, Fred, is that...
0:15:30 > 0:15:32that's a modern connection.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34So, you just plug it in and use it immediately.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- Would that sell?- Depends on the price. What's the price?
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- £25.- £25. That sounds cheap, really. You know, we've seen other ones -
0:15:42 > 0:15:46those coloured ones - pink ones, and goodness knows what...£80.
0:15:46 > 0:15:5025 is remarkably good because I think this is a little bit more clever.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- But if he can get it for less? - If he can, brilliant.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- Go on, then. Work your charms. - All right, yeah.- OK.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58At least he's found something that HE really likes.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Can identify with, yeah. That's very good.- Exactly.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03So, what can identify with you?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I've no idea. Can we keep looking?
0:16:08 > 0:16:13Right, said Fred as he rang up £10 for the phone.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Ah, I've found you.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Hi. Oh, that's nice.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- But look what I've got.- Uh-huh.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Now, dare I say it, I think this might be a bit of winner.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- What is it? - Do you know what it is?- No.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Well, it's basically called a cabaret tray.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27- Cabaret?- Cabaret, yeah.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32- As in cabaret tea set. Now, this... - Fantastic colours.- It is, isn't it?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- It's typical Crown Derby.- Oh, right.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39A factory in Staffordshire, in the 19th century. But then progressed into the 20th century.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41And this is known as the Imari pattern.
0:16:41 > 0:16:47It's what they call this iron red, vibrant blue and gilt.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52Started in Imari, in Japan, where ancient pottery really was produced.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55And they developed glazes in this palette.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58And the Victorians loved this kind of Japanese look.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03And Crown Derby really picked it up and ran with it
0:17:03 > 0:17:08and developed a whole range of tea and coffee wares, in this vibrant pattern.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Would there be, somewhere, a tea service that went with this? - There would, yes.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16And if you look very closely here, you've a little impressed square.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Can you see that?- Yup. - And that is the date code for 1889.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Oh, right. - It's in very good condition.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Exactly, Ken. That's exactly what I was going to say.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26The best thing about it, is the condition.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29This gilt wears actually really quite easily.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33You know, just a bit of wear, a bit of rubbing from the teapot and cups,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36and that will start to be scratched and marked.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39And really, it's in incredible condition. It's lovely.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Another winner here, by the look of it.- I think we're on a winner.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46What what would this... you think, we could we get this for?
0:17:46 > 0:17:51I think, this might make 200, maybe even £250.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55But, I think, with a bit of careful negotiation from yourselves,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57we might be able to get it around the £150 mark.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01OK. So, we could, we get £100 mark up on it, possibly.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Possibly. OK. Let's go and do a deal.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05The deal was done at £150.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10They better get a move on with their remaining £105. Because time is ticking away.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15Janice has brought along a couple of interesting items that she really loves.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19So, Janice, you brought something precious, did you, to show me?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21We lived in Newbury, in a cottage.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24And we used to go to the boot sale on Sunday.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29And then we'd go off to Marlborough, or Hungerford. And we were always rooting, and finding bits and pieces.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34And I think I've kept them, basically, because it reminds me of a great time - Fred was born.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36We really enjoyed living there.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40And I haven't got the heart to part with them. We don't show them at home, now.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I look at them and I just appreciate...
0:18:42 > 0:18:46because all of this is hand done, apparently. I think they're French.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49And I just think the soul that's gone into making something like that.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I love this, the pansy here.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53And the lilac over there.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- They're sort of a reminder of those happy days in the cottage. - Yeah, Fred being born.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01And knowing that you're interested in this sort of thing,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03we've had a little scout around Alfie's.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07And have got a selection of these wall vases, or pockets, which they're sometimes called.
0:19:07 > 0:19:14And it is an incredible variety of shapes and forms, that you can have, for a little wall vase. Isn't it?
0:19:14 > 0:19:19I mean, they're really quite kitsch. This, I think, I've never seen before. A pair of wall pockets.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22But it looks like a plated teapot.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24And you've got the reservoir again.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Yeah.- So, two halves of a teapot, effectively.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I think they're seriously oddball.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- Would be great in a cafe or something.- Yeah, in a cafe. Absolutely. Cheers!
0:19:33 > 0:19:34- Earl Grey? No.- No.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Half an Earl Grey. Thanks very much. Half a pint.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39And the most valuable one, is this fellow.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42It's got the Shelley mark on it.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46A collectable factory, with this pink and green drizzle.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50And that would cost you £235. Can you believe that?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53This detail here.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56It's almost fantasy. It's like out of a fantasy novel, isn't it?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59It looks like some weird land you're going off into.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01What they've done is when the glaze is still wet
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- they've just let it drizzle, like that.- Oh, right. And that's the dearest?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07That's by far the dearest.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12But, just as a little example of how these collectables sometimes catch on.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16And what a serious collector of Shelley will pay for a good one.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17It's amazing, isn't it?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- Bit like you, really.- Ha!
0:20:19 > 0:20:23As Janice rejoins her team to get their final item,
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Ken's found something that brings back fond memories.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I remember this year, 1990,
0:20:29 > 0:20:34because The Prince Of Wales had broken his shoulder... or dislocated his shoulder...
0:20:34 > 0:20:36in a polo accident, in Cirencester
0:20:36 > 0:20:40and actually went to Nottingham University, for it to be reset.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Diana went to visit him on a number of occasions.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47And I think this was a postcard to a very attentive porter,
0:20:47 > 0:20:51that assisted us, in and out of Nottingham Hospital.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56And ironically, after the death of Diana, there's still a huge market for Diana memorabilia,
0:20:56 > 0:21:00and sort of, you know, Christmas cards, particularly.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I'm told this is actually for sale at £750.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08- There's no way we're going to beat anybody down to £300. - So, everybody must ask you, Ken.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12I mean, you spent so much time with Diana. And you must have been great friends.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16I wouldn't say I was a great friend. There was a real professional friendship there.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20I spent eight years working with her, someone that would have enjoyed a bargain hunt.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22And would have been an ideal candidate.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Well, chaps, we better get back to our shopping. Time's running out.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31Come on, you lot! You've still got one item to buy, and not much time to do it in.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36Beatles memorabilia always sells. I've actually found some Beatlemania stuff here,
0:21:36 > 0:21:41that is certainly circa 1963. Maybe just end of '64.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44But these are obviously, cake decorations.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48There's a brown Ringo, a green John, a yellow George and a blue Paul.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53It's in its original package here, unopened, for all that time.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58I think this is, this is maybe not a bad thing. People are always advertising for Beatles memorabilia.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00If we can get it around the, you know, 50 or less,
0:22:00 > 0:22:05maybe we might make 100, might make 80. It's difficult to say, in the current climate.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10- Or, indeed, if two or three people go for it, you might make more. - Yeah, exactly, great.- Brilliant.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12As well as the Beatles figures,
0:22:12 > 0:22:16a bonus Twist And Shout single was thrown in,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18all for a total of £35.
0:22:18 > 0:22:24Mike and Janice are rather more accustomed to doing the talking, then perhaps the listening.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28And are they going to listen today, when it comes to their expert and the bonus buy?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32That's the moment when any left over lolly, not used in the shopping
0:22:32 > 0:22:38is taken by the expert, to find that special item that may boost their profits later, at auction.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Are they going to listen? And will they take the chance? I don't know.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Oh, what have you found there? - That. I want that.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50What is it, a perfume bottle?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Yeah, perfume spray. Now, why did you like that?
0:22:53 > 0:22:59- I think I was attracted by the design. I like the colour.- Yes. - And I like all of this.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Jazzy, cubey...jaggedy stuff that's going on.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Fred, have a look at this. Can you see all those designs?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10They're awfully sharp and jagged. That's typical cubist.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Very nice indeed. I like this.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14You associate the, sort of, jazz age, with that period.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16The music, the syncopated rhythms.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- All that jazz.- Yes, all that jazz.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21What's this thing, though? The puffer.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Well, that's...that's 70 years old.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Now, you would wilt, 70 years old, wouldn't you?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Can I just have a quick look at it? - Yes.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Do you like it?- Yeah.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Most importantly, this is named.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36And it's got Daum, Nancy, France.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41- Famous?- Well-known. Well-known glass manufacturers.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Round about the same time as Lalique and Galle.- OK.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Probably not as valuable as Lalique.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49But producing excellent work.
0:23:49 > 0:23:55And what I like about this, is that sort of rough, rusticated-type engraving into the glass.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59And then these elements highlighted by polishing.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00That really is quite stunning.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04But when I turned it upside down, I saw the price.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09£150. Now, have we got enough money? I don't think we have.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Well, we definitely want to keep a bit back for, for our expert to...
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- To spend.- Use his expertise. - Oh, £5 is sufficient.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- Yeah?- And I can see that on your dressing table?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Can we try and get it down? - Yes, it's up to you.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- All right.- Fred's been so good in getting prices. Negotiate it.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30- It's up to you on this occasion. Come on, Fred.- Oh, thanks, boys(!) - See you later.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Excuse me...
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Janice has discovered what she hopes will be a bargain.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Paying a sweet smelling £65.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42That's the end of the shopping.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Let's recap on what the Reds bought.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Well, they're hoping that this Minton cake stand
0:24:47 > 0:24:50will pull in a profit at £45.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54For me, of the three, that's the favourite. That could make us the money.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Everyone loved the Crown Derby tray.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00I reckon this could be a winner at £150.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02It was a really solid piece.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05And we're going to carry off the laurels with that one, we think.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Will the Reds twist and shout
0:25:08 > 0:25:11with the £35 Beatles figurines and record?
0:25:11 > 0:25:16Little bit of Beatlemania, coupled with our cake stand, and tray.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19I think we're in for a... I think we're in for a good one here.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21So, did you have a great time shopping, boys?
0:25:21 > 0:25:26- Yeah. I normally don't enjoy shopping. But it was a fun day. - Well, it is different.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29I think it was a great day. We've had some to fun, thanks to Kate.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- No, we've had some good times. - Shopping, shopping, shopping!
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Guiding you lot around.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35You spent a magnificent £230.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38I can't tell you how proud I am of you.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Give me 70. Oh, wow, man!
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Kate.- Thank you.- Have you had any trouble today, with this lot?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47I have had to keep them on a very tight rein.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- I can tell. They're quite naughty too, aren't they?- Very naughty.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- We were a little bit naughty. - Naughty on the frisky end of naughty.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57What are you going to do with that 70 smackers?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Well, we've got Art Deco. We've got pop memorabilia.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02So, I'm going to go for something really traditional.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Like you?- Absolutely. - Brilliant. Good luck.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Will this £85 Shelley teapot pour a profit.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16I think it's '80s. It's old to you.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Fred found the telephone and negotiated a successful sale,
0:26:20 > 0:26:21paying just...
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- Not something - I- would necessarily buy, for myself.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26But, it's going to make a shed full.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30The perfume bottle caught Janice's eye.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34And, at £65, she's hoping it will appeal to some like-minded buyers.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38The perfume, yeah. It was Art Deco, 19...?
0:26:38 > 0:26:39But it's got a failed puffer!
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- IN PSEUDO FRENCH ACCENTS - Now, Janice, Fred.- Yes.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- Did you have a good shopping? - It was marvellous.- Was it?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- IN NORMAL VOICES It was great. - We're talking about shopping here!
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- It was good, it was good. I enjoyed it. Did you?- Yeah. I did.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- You spent a pretty paltry £160. I don't understand that. - That's all right.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- It's all right. I'd like £140 of left over lolly, please, Frido.- There you go.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Thank you very much. £140 goes to David Barby.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- That's a nice sum, isn't it? - It is a nice sum.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04It's a satisfactory amount, I have to say.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07I've got to find something that reflects their interests.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- Not going to be easy. - Well, I don't know, I've seen one or two things.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- Ah, you cunning monkey, you.- Yes. - Off you go, David.
0:27:13 > 0:27:19For us, it's time to head off to the auction and find out who's number one in the charts.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24We're staying in London for our auction today.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28And our Red team is off to a slow start. I don't believe it!
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Oh, no, £25, minus £10.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35While the Blues are finding it hard to make a decision.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38You're sure you're sure? You going to go with it, or not?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Quickly. - No.- Yes. No, no.- No?- No.- No.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43All that coming up in a minute.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47But, before we get underway, I'm going to have a quick chat with the auction valuer.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Well, we sloped across town, to Criterion Auctions in Wandsworth
0:27:53 > 0:27:58- with Addison Gelpey, our valuer. Addison, how are you?- Good. Lovely to see you again, Tim.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03Very nice to see you, too. And first up, for Mike and Ken then, is this three-tier cake stand. Any good?
0:28:03 > 0:28:09It's not that fantastic. I mean, people don't really have cake stands nowadays, in the 21st century.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- On the whole.- No.- And it's a Minton cake stand, silver-plated.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- I've sort of valued it at about £30-£50.- Well, that's fine.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- £45 is what they paid. At least they're in the frame. - They're in the frame, yes.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24I was frightened that you might have said, £10 to £20. But...
0:28:24 > 0:28:26No, it's, it's got a chance.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28It's a bit tired. But it's got a chance.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Talking about pretty and decorative. How do you rate this Crown Derby tray?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Well, it quite a smacker.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35It's very in your face.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39It's clean as a whistle. Late 19th century. Imari with a flower pattern.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41But it is print, not hand-painted.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43We valued it at sort of 80-120.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Is that all? £150 they went for.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- Oh.- Kate's very, very keen on this. Think it's too much? £150.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54I think it will struggle to get to £150.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56But 80-120, it's got a good chance.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Something completely different. Beatlemania.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02The little 45 and the plastic figures.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03Well, everyone loves The Beatles.
0:29:03 > 0:29:08It will appeal to quite a few people. So, we'll see how it goes. But I've put an estimate of...
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- sort of, 20-50, hopeful.- Yes.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Good broad spread that, isn't it? - Well, yeah.
0:29:14 > 0:29:1720-50. £35 they paid, you see.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19So that is looking a bit tight on the edge.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23- We'll see.- It's all going to hang on this big tray.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27But, just in case, perhaps we ought to have a look at the bonus buy. And here it is.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Now, Ken and Mike, you spent £230.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- You gave £70 of leftover lolly to our Kate.- A foolish move.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35A foolish move.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38But strictly necessary. What did she buy?
0:29:38 > 0:29:42Well, it was rather foolish. Because I bought a bit of a lady's piece.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43But it was a bargain.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Which is why I have purchased it, for you good sirs.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51It's a rather beautiful silver and tortoiseshell little, trinket box.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53With what's known as piquet work in the top.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57Inlaid silver in the tortoiseshell, which does look a little bit dirty
0:29:57 > 0:29:59but would clean up beautifully.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Inside...now, this is the hitch...
0:30:02 > 0:30:05it is a wee bit shabby, as you can see.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06It needs some restoration.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10But, if that was in really good nick, that's a couple of £100's worth.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- Is it?- I paid £70, which I think was pretty good.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16For a hallmarked bit of silver and tortoiseshell.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- Very pretty for your lady's dressing table.- Well, I haven't got a clue.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22We're taking you at your word here. I wouldn't have a clue what it was.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- Kate's advice has always been good. - It's been jolly good.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- Jolly good.- Good hinge, Mike.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31A good hinge is always important, Ken. Without the hinge,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- it's just a two pieces.- It's bad luck being unhinged, isn't it?
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- You'd be happy with this as a gift, wouldn't you, Kate?- Delighted.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Mark you, Kate's very happy with any gift that comes her way. Right?
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- I'm not a fussy girl. - No, no, no, quite.
0:30:44 > 0:30:49We trust her. The tortoiseshell looks magnificent, the silver looks wonderful. The legs...
0:30:49 > 0:30:53the legs look terrific. I like, I quite like the little legs there.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56And is there another question that you need to ask Kate?
0:30:56 > 0:30:57Kate, how much did you pay for this?
0:30:57 > 0:31:03- That was £70.- £70. With your expertise, Kate, could we turn the magic 100 on this, do you think?
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- I would hope that should make £100. - Really?- Yes, I would hope so.- OK.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10You don't decide right now. You decide after the sale of the first three items.
0:31:10 > 0:31:16But, for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's sweet little box.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- That's a nice, genuine, real little object.- Yeah.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22I mean, it's sort of silver inlay.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26It's got... it's tortoiseshell, as well. Which gives it a nice look.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28It's a little bit tired on the inside.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32But it's a pretty thing and it's got, it's got a good chance.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34We've put, I think, 60-100 on it.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38Kate paid £70. 60-100, should be a profit in there.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40That's if they go with the bonus buy.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:31:42 > 0:31:47Now for the Blues. Janice and Fred, they've gone with the Shelley teapot.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Now, this again, is very mass produced.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52It's got that Clarice Cliff look about it
0:31:52 > 0:31:57so people are drawn to it. We've put an estimate at sort of 20-30 on it.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- How much?- 20 to 30. - They paid £85 for that!
0:32:00 > 0:32:06Oh, my goodness me! OK, well, they'll be very, very lucky indeed if they get close to that.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10But I've been wrong before. Let's hope it does well for them.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- So, we live in hope? - We do, definitely.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Brilliant. What about the plastic telephone?
0:32:15 > 0:32:16I mean, it's a retro thing.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18It's not a genuine phone
0:32:18 > 0:32:20but I guess it would work?
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Yeah, it would work.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24I like the look of it. It's definite retro.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26We sell retro quite well here.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28- Not high value. - Got the look, though, hasn't it?
0:32:28 > 0:32:31There'll be lights going on in there.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34And somebody may get it. But we've only put a 20-30 estimate on it.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35That's fine. They paid £10.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39- Well, they've got a good chance. - That's a good buy, at £10? - I think so.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42How do you rate this deco glass atomiser?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Well, French Daum is the maker.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Sometimes they go for up to, sort of, £5,000 - £10,000 on the really special stuff.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- But this is not as special as we'd like.- No.
0:32:51 > 0:32:56- It's a little bit tired on the pump. And there's a bit of damage over here on the...- Metal work.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- But most important part's the glass, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02The glass is perfect. Needs a clean, but it's perfect.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06We've got a lot of hope on this. I mean, Barby is passionate about it.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09It's quite a good find. We've put 80-150 on it.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- Hopefully we'll get a bit of interest in it.- He'll be delighted. £65 paid, you see.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15There's a real chance that's going to do OK.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- Yes.- Personally, I think the teapot should take off.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22But we shall see. And just in case, let's have a look at the bonus buy.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Now, Janice and Frido.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- You spent £160.- Gosh, that much?
0:33:27 > 0:33:31And you gave David Barby £140. Now, David, what did you buy?
0:33:31 > 0:33:36- Well, something rather exciting. Shall I reveal it, now? - It's going to be a rabbit.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41- Oh.- Oh. That wasn't, that wasn't the reaction I was expecting, Janice.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- Um, a mirror.- Isn't it devastating?
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- It's very striking.- It is.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49This is what we term as Arts and Crafts movement.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Late 19th, beginning of the 20th century.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55And what is so clever about this, is the objects were designed
0:33:55 > 0:33:59to make them look at though they'd been hand crafted.
0:33:59 > 0:34:05I love these bosses here, that are smoothed out on this sort of hammered background.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10And then almost crunched up, we have these close mounted turquoise stones.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12It's rather nice.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- I'm going to pass it over.- How much did you spend on that, then?- £140.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- Oh, lovely.- Wasn't that a bargain?
0:34:17 > 0:34:19- Yes.- Yes.- It's heavy.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Feel the weight. But is it sought after?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Oh, yes. Arts and Crafts, very, very in.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26It's minimalistic in design.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31- There's no fuss.- Because you're not going to decide until the sale of the first three items.- OK.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35All right? But any other questions you want to ask David about it?
0:34:35 > 0:34:39- Like, how much profit's it going to bring?- Yeah. How much are we likely to...?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42140 - are we going to rake in another couple of 100?
0:34:42 > 0:34:46I have seen similar mirrors go for close on 200.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Were they like that at the back?
0:34:48 > 0:34:50No, they had their original back.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54The original mirror would have been bevelled. But that's easily remedied.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Or, what about a nice portrait in there?
0:34:56 > 0:35:01Meanwhile, for the viewers at home, let's find out what the valuer thinks about David Barby's mirror.
0:35:01 > 0:35:06So, Addison, do you fancy a bit of Arts and Crafts then, Addison?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Well, I really like this. I think it's got a good look about it.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12It's got the four turquoise inlays on each quarter.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- I think it's got a good chance of selling.- Yes. Well, it'll sell.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Because there's no reserve, I guess.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20But is it going to sell for £20 or for £200?
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Well, we've put, sort of, 60-100 on it.
0:35:22 > 0:35:27- I'm hoping it'll make top end of the estimate.- Yeah, well, it needs to. Cos David paid £140 for that.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29That could be really risky, couldn't it?
0:35:29 > 0:35:33Well, if the right people are in the room, it's got a good chance of selling.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36If somebody wants this, they'll buy it.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40You never know, Janice and Fred may simply ignore it when it gets to the auction.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- Who's the auctioneer today? - Daniel.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- Daniel Webster's doing the auction today.- Can't wait.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- So, guys, this the moment of truth. - It is.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53You're on the edge of the precipice. You feeling nervous, at all?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Not at all, no, no.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58I think it's just going to be riotous fun. I notice that things are not
0:35:58 > 0:36:04- going for too high a price. They're not going at the top end, they're going nearer the bottom end.- Right.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08- But if all else fails, you've always got the bonus buy to fall back on. - We have.- Kate's little box.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Anyway, first lot up is going to be the cake stand. And here it comes.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Art Deco silver-plated cake stand.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17At 20. Ten if you like? Ten's bid.
0:36:17 > 0:36:2215, 20, at £20. 25, new place.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26At 25, are we all sure and done? At £25.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Oh, dear. £25.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31You're minus £20 on that. But don't despair.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Victorian Crown Derby Imari palate twin-handled tray.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37And £50 for it? 50, I have.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40At 55, 60, five, 70, five,
0:36:40 > 0:36:4280. Five yours, sir.
0:36:42 > 0:36:4685, 90, five, 100, ten, 20...
0:36:46 > 0:36:51- Come on!- 30, 40, 50, 60...
0:36:51 > 0:36:52- Yes!- We're in profit.
0:36:52 > 0:36:5670, 80, 180 away left.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58180.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- Yes!- That's brilliant. £180. You're plus 30 on that.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Plus £10, overall. Stand by.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Four Beatlemania plastic figures.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Twist And Shout record and all sorts.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11At £10, the money's here with me at ten. Are we all done?
0:37:11 > 0:37:1615, 18, 20...
0:37:16 > 0:37:1722,
0:37:17 > 0:37:2025...
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- £25, are we there? At 25, then. - Come on, come on.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28Oh, no. £25, minus £10.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30You've wiped your face. No profit. No loss.
0:37:30 > 0:37:36- Absolute....- Anyway, there you go. No profit, no loss. What are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:37:36 > 0:37:40- Are you going to go with the trinket box, or not?- What do you think, in the current scenario?
0:37:40 > 0:37:43We've had one good hit. I think we should go with the trinket box.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48- Let's do it.- I will buy you a beer, if we make a loss.- That's a sign.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- Are you going to go with the jewellery box, then? - We'll go with it.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53We're going with the bonus buy. And here it comes.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56A silver and tortoiseshell inlaid trinket box.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57Neat little thing.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Interest at 55, 60 got.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02At £60, the money's here at 60.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06- Five, 70, five, 80... - Well, done, Kate.
0:38:06 > 0:38:1185 I'm out, you're in. At £85, are we all done?
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- £85!- Well, done, Kate.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Plus £15. You have made £15 profit.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- Well, done, chaps. - That's good.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20She doesn't have to buy you a beer.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- I will anyway.- I don't know whether it's a winning score or not.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- But the important thing is, don't tell the Blues a thing. OK? - We are buoyant.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- So, team, do you know how the Reds got on?- I heard they were awful.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- No.- Who told you that?
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- Mike Read.- Did he?- Tactics, isn't it?
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- It's all strategy with that man. - I'll get him.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45So, how you feeling? You feeling nervous?
0:38:45 > 0:38:50I'm just worried about that perfume bottle. What about you and your phone?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Are you nervous, at all, Fred?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Not really. Just anxious to see how it all goes.- We're all anxious.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59And, if all else fails, you've got the mirror to fall back on.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Now, first up, is the teapot and here it comes.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04A Shelley porcelain nursery teapot.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Designed by Mabel Lucie Attwell.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08And 45? 50 is bid.
0:39:08 > 0:39:13At £50, the money's here with me at 50, five, 60, five, yours.
0:39:13 > 0:39:1665 we're in the room now. 65, 70...
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Yes!
0:39:18 > 0:39:22Five. At £75 then.
0:39:23 > 0:39:28- Oh!- Well, that's much better than estimated. Only minus £10.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Now, Frido, your telephone.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Bygone plastic telephone.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Bit of fun for a tenner.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36At £10 somewhere? Ten's bid.
0:39:36 > 0:39:3915, 18, 20.
0:39:39 > 0:39:4320 away left. At £20 then.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47£20. Well, done, that's a profit, at £10.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50You had a loss of £10. You've got a profit of £10.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51It's wiped its face.

0:41:46 > 0:41:50- No.- Ah, well, that's absolutely brilliant. Two teams of winners.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Two teams that have made profits.

0:42:00 > 0:42:04- Yes!- It was that cake stand, I bet?
0:42:04 > 0:42:06It wasn't the cake stand, actually.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09- Anyway, plus £5.- OK. - Which is very good, isn't it?
0:42:09 > 0:42:14- Now, you didn't go with the bonus buy.- No.- Your wisest move. - That was Fred's wisest move.

0:42:27 > 0:42:31- We've thoroughly enjoyed having you on the programme. - It's been fab.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36But the victors today, who actually hadn't made an awful lot of money
0:42:36 > 0:42:39up to the moment of the bonus buy.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41- And that bonus buy saved your bacon, right?- Right.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43- And made you £15.- Ah, fantastic.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46- Here's your £15, Mike. - Fantastic, fantastic.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- Well, done, indeed. Well, done, Ken. - Thank you.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56- Cos it's a worthy charity. - Isn't that nice?
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- That is the sweetest way. - I didn't mean it!
