0:00:05 > 0:00:10Hello there! We've got a lot of business to fit in today.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13We're in London, where dealing is the name of the game
0:00:13 > 0:00:15and profit margin is king.
0:00:39 > 0:00:44We have two celebrities and their partners geared up to do battle today
0:00:44 > 0:00:48armed with £300 and a lot of enthusiasm,
0:00:48 > 0:00:56the idea being to buy, buy, buy and then sell, sell, sell for a big, fat profit.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59First let's get to know our famous face for the Reds.
0:01:01 > 0:01:08It's the teacher you wish you'd had, calculus supremo Johnny Ball.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Johnny started life wanting to be a drummer, but in 1967 via a career in the RAF
0:01:13 > 0:01:18and a stint as a stand-up comedian, he had moved into children's television presenting.
0:01:18 > 0:01:24He's fondly remembered by those that watched his popular maths, science and technology programmes
0:01:24 > 0:01:30and who were inspired by his unconventional approach to educating whilst entertaining.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34But will he reveal an inner spark today for bargain hunting?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Welcome to Bargain Hunt Famous Finds, Johnny.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Thank you very much. Great to be here.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45Will you adopt a scientific approach today or just think of a number, double it and hope for the best?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I'll go and say, "That can't be worth that,"
0:01:47 > 0:01:50beat them down as much as I can and buy something awful
0:01:50 > 0:01:54as I don't have the eye, but I have a partner who has more of an eye than I have.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56So this accounts for Brenda.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Brenda is a family friend of ours. We've been great friends.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- How do you do? Nice to meet you. - How do you do?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Are you a collector? - Yes, I collect children's chairs.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09- I'm interested in all things old, which is why I'm with him, really.- Precisely!
0:02:09 > 0:02:12So we're going to get some cheap gags as well!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Terrible, terrible jokes. There's no such thing as an old joke.
0:02:15 > 0:02:22Now we're going to see a worthy opponent for that mathematical brain of yours and here he comes.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Heading up the Blues today, it's comedian Eddie Large.
0:02:28 > 0:02:34Eddie's best known as one half of the hugely successful double act, Little and Large.
0:02:34 > 0:02:41The lads from Manchester were given their own series, which was watched by millions and became cult viewing.
0:02:41 > 0:02:47He's a grandfather of three, but could he be the granddaddy of antiques?
0:02:47 > 0:02:52Hi, Eddie. Now, who have you brought with you as your team-mate to help today?
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Well, my fellow Hobbit...
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I met her on the train on the way here.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58No, this is my wife, Patsy.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Hi.- Hi.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Lovely warm hands!
0:03:02 > 0:03:05We've just celebrated 15 happy years of marriage.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- We have been married 25 years. - Yeah, but only 15's been happy.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Oh, oh, oh!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13There's the first bargain, a cheap joke!
0:03:13 > 0:03:14So what do you collect?
0:03:14 > 0:03:20We have got some Lladro. My mum and dad used to go to Spain a lot and brought back a lot of Lladro.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- You've bought some Lladro. - I have, yeah.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- Are you going to go for a bit of Lladro if you see it today?- No.- No.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28We're going to go for jewellery.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- Try something different.- Jewellery? - Have we let a trade secret out?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34No, no. I should think they're witless with fear!
0:03:34 > 0:03:38I am. I am a bag of nerves, but I have my strength here in Brenda.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I'm a bag of nerves as well!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43In fact, we're all a bag of nerves!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Anyway, the money moment, here is your £300.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48There's 300 smackers, 300 smackers. You know the rules.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Your experts await and off you go and very, very good luck.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55So let's find out who is dishing out the advice today.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Dressed for the kill today, Phillip Serrell.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05And making sure the Blues stay out of the cold is David Barby.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- Hey, Johnny, what do you think of this? Isn't that gorgeous? - Wow. That's lovely.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- It's fabulous, isn't it?- Can I have a look? I really like that.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I think it's late 20th century, probably European.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Like tortoise shell glass.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- It reminds me of scent bottles... - Perfume bottles. Yes.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- How much is it?- £60.
0:04:28 > 0:04:34Do you know, I wouldn't be surprised if that made anywhere between £40-£60. She's a real...
0:04:34 > 0:04:35We won't make a fortune.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40- But you'll make a profit. Somebody will like it. We like it. - If we can get it down to that.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- I think there's a profit in this, OK?- I do too.- She's absolutely lovely.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- I think it's lovely too. - Will you do a deal?- Yeah.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Sort the dealer out. We'll see what else we can find. Come on.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54Brenda got the vase for a shapely £40.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- Oh, look at this.- What?
0:04:58 > 0:05:03- Poppy!- Who's Poppy? - I like that.- Who WAS Poppy? - My cat, actually, my cat....
0:05:03 > 0:05:04- She's died now.- Popped.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09- She's popped. No, don't. - That's terrible!- I know. I apologise.- I love cats.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14- Do you know what you've picked up? What's that label say?- Derby cat. - Royal Crown Derby, nice porcelain.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- I love it.- These were desk ornaments, paperweights. There's a whole range.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Cats, lions, camels, elephants and they have been going for yonks.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26- That's probably one of their early models, lovely quality. And what's price?- £120.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28That's half our budget.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30That is half our budget. Too much.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34I can see that going at auction around about £50, £60.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Oh!- If you can't get it below 50, forget about it.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- We're out there to make a profit. - That's true.- Yeah.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- Are you a good negotiator? Is she good?- She's brilliant.- We'll try!
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- What have we found, then, guys? - Well, this might have brandy in it, but it might not.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59There's a slight smell of brandy or something. You've got spirits and a cigar tube.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- I think that's lovely. Can I have a look?- Yeah.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Not too much age, probably not quite as old as me, really.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08That's old enough.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Easy! I love the idea that you're out for a quick walk
0:06:10 > 0:06:16and if you fancy a quick swill and a quick smoke, you're all sorted, aren't you?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I wouldn't think this is more than 10 or 15 years old.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- Wouldn't you? - But I think it's great.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24You see, it's just a base metal thing, £33 priced up at.
0:06:24 > 0:06:31If that was a piece of Victorian silver, I think you'd be looking at probably £200-£400, £300-£500.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35I think it's lovely. That would make nice present for somebody, don't you?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Yeah.- What would you pay to give that to your son?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40£40-£50, not more I don't think.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- I think at auction that is going to make probably between £20-£40.- Yeah?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49So if you can get it for £33... Have a chat to the dealer
0:06:49 > 0:06:53and see if they'll do you favour. On that note, you go that way.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- I think that's really nice. - Let's find our third object. - You did well.- See you later.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Think of a number. Yes! 25! And still £235 to spend.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Eddie, what have you bought a football for?- Look at this.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11- That's where you put the CD.- Yeah. - Close it up. I put the power on.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14# 1, 2, 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock, rock!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16# 5, 6, 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock rock! #
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- I think I like this.- How do you switch it off?- I love it!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Dah dah!- I didn't know you were an electrician. Brilliant.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- That is absolutely fabulous! - Isn't it? I love it.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30- Because it was a CD, it's got to date from the mid '90s.- Fair enough.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35And if I remember, these were popular for only a very short period
0:07:35 > 0:07:37and they were sold on the high street,
0:07:37 > 0:07:42but they only lasted for about eight months, so this is a rarity.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Have you bought it for yourself or for Bargain Hunt?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I don't know. We do like it!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I bought it for myself, but she's bought it for Bargain Hunt.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52That's good because if you like something,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56there's bound to be somebody else with your peculiar taste as well.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- I thought it was the buy of the century!- Did you hear that?!
0:07:59 > 0:08:05We're told to buy for auction anything quirky and you couldn't get anything more quirky than this.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07It's so unusual.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Have you negotiated a price? - Yes, we did.- Really?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- £28.- £14 each.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I think you should buy it. Let's have another play.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- Oh, go on, then.- What do I press? - You press CD.- Here we go.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23# 1, 2, 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock rock! 5, 6, 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock, rock! #
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Yeah!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28The Blues are getting giggly with it.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Eddie scored £28 for his disco ball.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- The two things we've bought are very much late 20th century.- Yeah.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38This is an antique programme. It'd be nice to find something...
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Something really old. - A bit of age. Look at that.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Do you like that?- I like it.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45That's right up my street.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- What is it? - This is 18th century porcelain.- Wow!
0:08:49 > 0:08:55This is from the cradle of English porcelain making and I would think this dates from about 1770-1775.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Wow, so early!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00That blue crescent mark there, that's the Worcester mark,
0:09:00 > 0:09:05but just to add a little bit of confusion, the factory up the road use that mark as well.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- There's two tales, this is getting really anoraky.- No, it's fine.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12If you get a piece of Worcester, and you shine a strong light through it,
0:09:12 > 0:09:16and as if by magic you put that through, can you see the greeny tinge?
0:09:16 > 0:09:17- Oh,- yes.- That's pure Worcester.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22If it came from up the road it would have a yellower, strawy-coloured tinge.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Really?- If it's green, it's Worcester.- Absolutely.- Wow!
0:09:25 > 0:09:29If it goes into auction, surely the auctioneer will talk that up, give the history.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Have you ever known an auctioneer to not talk something up?- Yeah!
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I mean, this has got a price tag of it of £110.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38If that came into my sale room I would put that at £60 to £90.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Really?- Yeah. - So we've got to get it at a cheaper price than that, then?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44No. WE haven't...
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Oh, not me!
0:09:46 > 0:09:50You go and have a chat and we'll go and report back to base.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Let's hope it's up the bidders' street when they get to auction.
0:09:54 > 0:10:00Johnny splashed the cash at £65, making £130 their overall spend.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Now, Eddie, why do you like this so much?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08David, this is quality, and I do like quality.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09I think it's very good.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I like the combination of these semiprecious stones
0:10:13 > 0:10:15and if you look carefully
0:10:15 > 0:10:18all these sections here are silver-gilt mounts.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Now, what period would you associate this with?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Well, because they were using quill pens...- Good
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- ..it's pre-Biro. - Be serious, darling!
0:10:29 > 0:10:31But that's good observation actually.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34When I look at this I think in terms of Little Dorrit,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37which is set in the earlier part of the 19th century.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41So this is French early 19th century.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- What's that?- Well, these are all interesting components.
0:10:45 > 0:10:51That you've just handled is the pen, but the thing that I LOVE is this.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56It looks like a nail, but in fact, it's a swan's quill and that is clamped there.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59It's a special bridge to clamp the nib in.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- Every time you wrote a letter, you had to cut yourself a quill.- Lovely.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- That's the pen, and if you look at the top here, it's got a seal.- Yeah.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09After you've written your letter, you've got an envelope.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12You put a blob of wax and then you seal it there.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14We should do things like that!
0:11:14 > 0:11:16When you get a letter,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19that's the envelope opener, so you just split it open.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Ah. This is a collector's piece.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26- Exactly, and at auction, that's the sort of person you're going to appeal to.- Yeah.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27It's £170.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Seems a lot of money, but you're dealing with semi-precious stones,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34silver-gilt mounts, so it's up to you two.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- Do you like it enough to want to negotiate to buy it?- I do, yeah.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Are you going to negotiate this one, then?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- You're a much better negotiator. - I'll do it with you.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- If it's going to get lovey-dovey like that, I'll leave you. - We'll do it together.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48- Do your best.- We will.
0:11:48 > 0:11:54Mutually negotiated, the Blues paid £150 for the desk set.
0:11:54 > 0:12:00Ooh! Their time is up and SO is mine!
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Let's take a look back at how they got on.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08I thought the vase was really quirky and different
0:12:08 > 0:12:10and I think it will appeal to all sorts of people.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12It's just a fun thing.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15£40 for the vase.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Something shiny for those vices?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19£25.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21The cigar flask is lovely
0:12:21 > 0:12:24because it's very simple and it's not very expensive.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29And finally £65 for a little piece of old England.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32I don't think we'll lose much and I think they might lose more!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Yes, we're fairly confident, I would say.- Yeah, yeah.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40Let's recap on what Eddie and Patsy bought!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43First up was the Crown Derby cat.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Patsy did a great negotiation.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49It's a fabulous-looking cat. It's really colourful and everything
0:12:49 > 0:12:53and it was £120, but I managed to get them down to £48, so we bought it.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55It's beautiful, and we love it.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59My favourite item is the football because my house is full of stuff like that
0:12:59 > 0:13:02that we don't use, but it's working.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05For £28, they got themselves
0:13:05 > 0:13:08a proper bona-fide antique disco ball - not!
0:13:08 > 0:13:13The pen set - we both loved it because it is quality, a real, real collector's item,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15but it was quite expensive, wasn't it?
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- We were nervous about paying that much.- Yeah.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Let's hope at £150, it can write its own cheque at auction.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I can't see the Reds beating us, not...
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Let's hope so. - Not with the eagle eye of Patsy!
0:13:29 > 0:13:33And whilst our experts are searching for their bonus buy,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37we'll check out what the auctioneer thinks their goods are worth.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44For the auction today, we're at Criterion auction rooms in London.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Daniel Webster is our auctioneer.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- Hi, Dan, how are you feeling? - Good, thanks, Tim, yes.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59First up, then, for Johnny and Brenda is the simulated tortoise shell glass vase.
0:13:59 > 0:14:06Now, this should stir a chord in any honest man's heart, because it's curvy, isn't it?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Certainly a shapely thing. - Yes. Curvy in the right places.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Is it likely to be saleable, do you think?
0:14:11 > 0:14:15It's an unusual thing. It'll appeal to someone today, yes.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16No great age, is it?
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- No, no, just a decorative thing. - So how much then, do you think?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- We've got £30 to £60 on that one. - Fair enough. £40 paid,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24so that's slap bang in the middle.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29Next up is the silver-plated cigar spirit flask thing.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Quite a stylish thing. - Just a pity it's not silver.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- It's almost chromium-plated, isn't it?- As opposed to silver plate, yes.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- They only paid £25. - OK.- What will it bring?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- We've got £20 to £40 on that. - That should do all right.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- I should think so. - A bit of hope about.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47The contrast now of stepping right back into the 18th century
0:14:47 > 0:14:51and going with this Worcester bowl is quite something, isn't it?
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Does anybody buy this?
0:14:52 > 0:14:57Crescent Worcester, not as popular as it used to be, but there are still collectors of it.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Unfortunately, it's a bog-standard bowl.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- So how much, Daniel? - We've got £50 to £100.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Well, that's fine. £65 paid.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08So overall, I think, estimate-wise versus what they've paid,
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- they've done pretty well.- They have.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12They may not need the bonus buy.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14But let's go and have a look at it anyway!
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Now, Johnny and Brenda, you spent a handsome sum, £120,
0:15:18 > 0:15:23which meant that £170 of left-over lolly went to Phillip Serrell.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28- I thought I'd copper bottom our investments with this lovely Arts and Crafts tray.- Oh!- Oh, wow!
0:15:28 > 0:15:32I paid £80 and if the right people are here it could make £80 to £120.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- If the wrong people are here, it's £30 to £50 worth.- Is it old?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38It's older than us, Johnny. I think it's a stylish thing.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Yes, it is stylish. Whether it's £80 worth of stylish.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46I think it is but the question you've got to ask yourself is whether it's £80 today or not.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51I personally think that what you paid for it was a pretty high price for today's auction.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- What do you think, Brenda? - I agree, yeah. I think it's about...
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- We're doomed!- All its money, really. - Oh, dear.- Yes, I do.
0:15:58 > 0:16:04Right. On that happy note, let's find out for the viewers at home
0:16:04 > 0:16:06what the auctioneer thinks about it.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Gosh, Daniel, that's a handsome tray, isn't it?
0:16:09 > 0:16:15It is, yeah, good Arts and Crafts plunged copper, nice shape and a popular thing these days.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16What's your estimate?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- I've got £50 to £100.- Oh, right.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20- Phillip paid £80.- Did he?
0:16:20 > 0:16:25He may well have to sing for his supper! Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Now, for the Blues, Eddie and Patsy,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30and first up is their little Derby pussycat.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Yes, as you say, Tim, Royal Crown Derby, not tremendously old,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37but they're always popular in the typical Crown Derby palette
0:16:37 > 0:16:40of the blue and red and we've got £20 to £40 on it.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Well, Patsy loved it. She paid £48 and I have a horrible feeling she's paid too much.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49- She has.- Simply because she's gotten emotionally involved in the subject matter.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54Next up is the fake football CD player, which I have to say I think is great fun.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Antique of the future, possibly, Tim.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59We'll have to wait quite a long time to find out!
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Our team didn't pay much, £28.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- Will they make a profit, do you think?- I think they'll struggle.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06We got £10 to £30 on it.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- That's a broad estimate, isn't it? - It is, yeah.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13And their last item is this very nice onyx desk set,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16probably made to go alongside an inkwell, don't you?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19On the whole, it's a very well-made thing
0:17:19 > 0:17:22in that it's a very nicely polished agate handle on each of the items.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25The blade on the knife is nicely decorated.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28The mounts, unfortunately, let it down a bit.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30What, the gilt brass mounts?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33You would expect them to be more crisp in their casting.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- What's your estimate as to value? - £40 to £80 on that.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41- How much?! - 40-80.- 40-80?! Is that all?- Yes.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Do you know what they paid?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- £150.- Did they?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47We're going to have blood flowing down the gutters!
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Never mind, Daniel! They've always got the bonus buy.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Now, Patsy, Eddie, you spent £226.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59You gave David Barby £74 to find your bonus buy.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00What did you spend it on, David?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- I spent £48.- 48.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Ah!- Doesn't that look wonderful?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- That is wonderful.- Very colourful. - What did you really buy?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12This is lovely!
0:18:12 > 0:18:16It's glass that was produced around about 1900, 1910.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Many companies were producing this, certainly in Stourbridge.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Another company, Powell and Company, produced this type of glass.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28What I like is this clear glass and then this trailed green all over the surface.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30This is a hand-crafted piece of glass.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Just look at it!- It's beautiful.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Let them handle it, David. That's the secret.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I can imagine the fish swimming round. It is nice.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- It's lovely, isn't it? - Now, then...- If you like green!
0:18:42 > 0:18:44How much profit will you make?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- I would like to see it go for about £60 to £70.- Oh.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- Could be £30 profit in that. £20 or £30 profit.- Oh, right, yeah.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- Sounds good to me.- It does.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Patsy, do you like it? Is it something you would enjoy owning?
0:18:56 > 0:19:00I do like it, but let's hope it makes a bit of profit, if we choose this.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- If you choose it!- If you choose it. - What do you think, Eddie?
0:19:04 > 0:19:08I think it's very, very, very attractive, much like David himself.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11He's so kind. How observant!
0:19:11 > 0:19:16Anyway, you don't decide right now. You decide after the sale of your first three items.
0:19:16 > 0:19:22But for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's bowl.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Oh, look at that...
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Great green, isn't it? - Good colour green, yeah.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29How you do that, I don't know.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- Nice quality.- And in good condition? - Condition's good as well.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- What's your estimate, Dan? - £20 to £40, Tim.- Oh, dear, £48.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40David Barby will be disappointed if it doesn't make £48
0:19:40 > 0:19:43and he does get so excited about these things.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Anyway, good luck. You're our auctioneer tonight.- I am.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Now, Johnny and Brenda, how are you feeling?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Expectant.- Expectant?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01So how do you think you're going to do? Any prediction?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Will you make stonking profits?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06I think, I think it's all down to the bowl.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Down to the bowl! - I think it's all down to the bowl.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12It's all downhill, I don't know about down to the bowl!
0:20:12 > 0:20:14We might make a modest profit.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18First up, then, is your female bust and here she comes.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Lot 22 is the 20th century
0:20:19 > 0:20:23simulated tortoise shell female bust form vase,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26good shapey thing and £20 for it. 20 is bid.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30At 20, 25, 28, 30.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31At £30 were seated near at 30.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Are we all sure? 35 over there.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Go on!- 35, 40, 5, 50.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Yes!- At 50.
0:20:41 > 0:20:442 if it helps, sir? No. At 50. We're away. Right.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46At £50, then.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Yes! £50! That is excellent.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Get in there!- Top £10.- Top bust!
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Lot 123 is
0:20:53 > 0:20:57a silver-plated combined cigar case-spirit flask
0:20:57 > 0:21:00and yet again with interest, 35 got.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- We're in profit.- The money's here, 40 takes it if you like.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07At 35 and here with me at £35, then...
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- £35, that is brilliant.- Yeah. - You've got another tenner.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14No pressure here then, these two have made a profit!
0:21:14 > 0:21:16The bowl! The Worcester bowl!
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Lot 124 is an 18th century Worcester bowl, there you go.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Crescent Worcester, a neat thing.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23£40 for it. 40's bid. 5 with me.
0:21:23 > 0:21:30At 45, and here with me. 50 I'm out, sir. At 50, 5, 60, 5.
0:21:30 > 0:21:3265 now.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34OK. He's going to sell it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37At 65. Are we done? For 65...
0:21:37 > 0:21:41£65. It's wiped its face.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44You are plus £20. How brilliant.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Oh, a fortune, a small fortune, but a fortune.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- Yeah, £20.- Fantastic.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51That is fantastic! You can bank that money, if you like,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54or you can take a chance and go with the bonus buy.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Now, you don't like that bonus buy, I know,
0:21:56 > 0:22:00and you have got £20 in the bank, so this is a tough decision to make.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Are you going to go with the bonus buy or not?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Brenda, what are you thinking?
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- I'm thinking probably not. - Probably not.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- You're going to stick? - Sorry, Phil.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I don't think it'll make much of a profit.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- We're in profit, we'll stay.- Yeah.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15- Are you quite sure?- We'll stick.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- You're going to stick. - You are a gem, you know.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21It's marvellous when people have confidence in you, isn't it?
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Lot 128 is an Arts and Crafts copper rectangular tray.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27There you go. £30 for it.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28At £30 somewhere, surely.
0:22:28 > 0:22:3130 is bid, 5, 40, 5.
0:22:31 > 0:22:3350, madam?
0:22:33 > 0:22:3550, 5?
0:22:35 > 0:22:3860, 5?
0:22:38 > 0:22:4065 way back.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42At £65. Are we all done and sure?
0:22:42 > 0:22:45At 65...
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Bad luck, Phil.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51You're just off on that, £65 is minus £15,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54but quite frankly, it could have gone anyway, couldn't it?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- And we didn't take it anyway.- You didn't take it, so you're all right.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59You can bank your £20.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03The big thing now is not to talk to the Blues at all.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Just go out. Look miserable.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Difficult for Johnny I know, but just look miserable, OK?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Now, Eddie and Patsy, do you know how the Reds got on?- No idea.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- No? You haven't been communicating? - No.- No.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27I'm very pleased about that because we don't want you to know how they've done, actually.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- But let's be optimistic.- Absolutely!
0:23:29 > 0:23:32First up is the Royal Derby paperweight and here it comes.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36The Royal Derby porcelain cat desk weight, £10 for it.
0:23:36 > 0:23:43- At £10 somewhere, surely. 10 is bid, 15, 20.- Oh, come on!
0:23:43 > 0:23:505, 30, 5, 40, 5, 50, 5, 60, 5...
0:23:50 > 0:23:53At £65 standing back.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58At 65, are we all done? 65?
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Yes! £65! You are plus £17 on that.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Have a stroke! Well done, Pat.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07What a great idea for me to tell you to buy that cat.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12- Here's your football.- Lot 159 is an Umbro faux football CD player.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14There you go. £10 I have.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17At £10, and here with me at 10, are we all sure?
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- 12 I'll take, 15? At 15 now.- Come on.- What's wrong with these people?
0:24:21 > 0:24:2615, 18, 20, 2, 5, 8, 30, one more.
0:24:26 > 0:24:275, it's yours.
0:24:27 > 0:24:3035, look at that!
0:24:30 > 0:24:32£35, then.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35£35, you're plus £7 on that!
0:24:35 > 0:24:38You are plus £24.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Now, the desk set.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44A 20th century French agate and silver-gilt desk set, good quality thing.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Interest at £50, and 5 now.
0:24:46 > 0:24:52At 55, 65, 75, 80, it's yours.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- At £80.- Come on! Come on! Come on!
0:24:55 > 0:24:58For £80, are we all sure at... 85?
0:24:58 > 0:25:0090, 5.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- Go on! 100, 10.- Come on.
0:25:04 > 0:25:0720, 30, 40.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08- Come on!- 50.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- Come on!- It's only money, Ray.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- 60.- Yes!
0:25:13 > 0:25:16160 now. At 160, are we all done?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19For 160...
0:25:19 > 0:25:21160, plus £10 on that!
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Oh, you little...
0:25:23 > 0:25:25That was just phenomenal.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I can't believe it! Darling, kiss me! You've done great.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31You are plus £34.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33That's sensational, it's got to be a record.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35£34, that is so good.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- I'm so excited.- Is that not good?
0:25:37 > 0:25:38That is good, good.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Now, the big question is,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42are you going to bank your profits, all right?
0:25:42 > 0:25:46It could be a winning score, £34, or are you going to risk it
0:25:46 > 0:25:49and go with the bowl? What are you going to do?
0:25:49 > 0:25:50You've got the bonus buy.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52You've got that bowl.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54It costs £48.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58You already have £34 profit. What are you going to do, quickly?
0:25:58 > 0:25:59- Risk it. Risk it.- Let's go for it.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Go for it.- We respect his judgment very much.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03- Are you sure?- We'll gamble.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Are you sure?- We might never see him again!- You sure?
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Yeah, we're doing it, yeah. - You're going to go?- Yeah.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12They're determined to go with the bonus buy and here it comes.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17An early 20th century Powell & Co clear glass bowl with green piping,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19good thing, interest, £10, 15, got.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23At £15, 25, one more.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24At £25 and here with me at 25...
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Excuse me!- Come on!
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Excuse me, well shouted. At £30, are we all done? I'm out at 30. At 30.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Are we all sure? For £30, then...
0:26:34 > 0:26:36That's minus 18.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Why did you decide that? - It was you as well.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Oh, was it me?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42You are £16 profit, all right?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46You have £16 profit. You had £34.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Oh, God!
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- David!- Oh, don't, don't.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- Never trust an expert. - No, it's not his fault.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55He did his best.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- It was so cheap! - £16 could be a winning score.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00It could be a winning score. You never know.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02It could be. You're not in the red.
