0:00:02 > 0:00:04Welcome to Cash In The Attic.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07We like nothing better than finding those antiques and collectables
0:00:07 > 0:00:12that you've tucked away collecting dust in drawers, attics, cupboards,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14and then turning them into cash.
0:00:14 > 0:00:22That's what I'm hoping to do today here in Wales, in a house that is stuffed full of...stuff!
0:00:44 > 0:00:49'On Cash In The Attic, one of our finds proves a first for Paul.'
0:00:49 > 0:00:53I've only ever actually seen this in a textbook.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56'There's a lovely surprise for the lady of the house.'
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- LAUGHTER - Did you know that?- Not an idea!
0:00:59 > 0:01:02That's another "wow!"
0:01:02 > 0:01:06'And at auction, a rare discovery results in an exciting revelation.'
0:01:06 > 0:01:09£650...!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- You didn't expect that, did you? - It's amazing.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15'Find out what it is when the hammer falls.'
0:01:15 > 0:01:20I'm in Chepstow, where I'm about to meet a mum who'd like extra cash
0:01:20 > 0:01:25because she's got a very special treat planned for her daughters.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28'Since retiring from the nursing profession two years ago,
0:01:28 > 0:01:33'Frances Gray has spent her time following another lifelong passion,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36'singing in her local Choral Society.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41'In 2000, her two grown-up daughters Sarah and Elena left home.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46'So Frances downsized from an enormous property in Crick
0:01:46 > 0:01:51'to a townhouse here in Chepstow, where she lives with her two cats.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56'Frances now thinks that it's time to declutter her home
0:01:56 > 0:01:59'of some of the things she's acquired over the years.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03'With me on today's rummage is our expert Paul Hayes.'
0:02:03 > 0:02:08- You're going to get a warm glow when you see what's inside.- Can't wait!
0:02:08 > 0:02:13'Helping Frances is her best friend and Choral Society partner, Cynthia.'
0:02:13 > 0:02:18- Hi!- Hello.- I see you've already started work!- How lovely to see you.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23- Frances and Cynthia, meet Paul Hayes.- Hello, nice to meet you both.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- So, good stuff that we're already looking at.- It looks promising.
0:02:28 > 0:02:34- Would you mind if I make a start? - Be lovely. I hope you find something worthwhile!
0:02:34 > 0:02:37He can't resist! Frances, why have you called in Cash In The Attic?
0:02:37 > 0:02:43I was hoping to get enough money to take my daughters to a spa hotel
0:02:43 > 0:02:45for a pampering day.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47That sounds absolutely fantastic!
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Cynthia's going to help you today. How do you know each other?
0:02:51 > 0:02:55We know each other through the Choral Society,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58and other times as well, so we've become great friends.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00You're singers!
0:03:00 > 0:03:05We met about ten years ago and we've been singing together ever since.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08We might get you to sing later on!
0:03:08 > 0:03:12In the meantime, how much do you think you might like to raise?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Probably approaching £2,000.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Wow! A really special day out at the spa, then.- Oh!
0:03:19 > 0:03:24While he's looking around, what sort of things is he going to be finding?
0:03:24 > 0:03:29Mostly, things I've inherited from my parents, grandparents.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31They've come down through the family.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34We ought to find Paul, see how he's doing.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Today, we could make music as well as money!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Wonderful!- Let's go!
0:03:41 > 0:03:45'£2,000 is certainly a high figure, but glancing around Frances's home
0:03:45 > 0:03:49'I see a whole range of things that will fare well at auction.'
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Paul, you found the family silver!
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Yes I have. I've made a fantastic start. Look at that silver tray.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- What a quality item that is!- A bit of weight in it. Where is this from?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04It was my maternal grandparents'.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09It was presented to them on their silver wedding anniversary
0:04:09 > 0:04:14by the Polysulphin Co Ltd, where my grandfather worked.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16What a wonderful thing to get.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Imagine that happening now! - They thought a lot of him.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Or a lot of the marriage. That is a very good quality tray.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29- Did your grandmother use it? - My grandmother was very proud of it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:35She used to serve tea to all her friends and relatives.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37How about you?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41I think the days of presenting one's friends
0:04:41 > 0:04:47with tea on a silver tray are sadly gone!
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- It's tea in a mug now and be grateful for it.- What a shame!
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- It clearly has great value, Paul. - It is solid silver and very heavy.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Whoever was awarded this, it's a good quality tray.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Normally, these are silver plated.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05If you'd had the matching teapot, sugar basin, the cream jug,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07it would have been a fortune.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10You've got to be careful with the hallmark.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12You've got the crown for Sheffield.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17The lion passant, meaning it's up to standard in the UK, to sell it.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Then you've got a date letter, S,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23which I think is about 1935, just before this tray was presented.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Are you happy for it to go?
0:05:26 > 0:05:30I ought to feel a bit sentimental about it, but I really don't.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33They'd be wishing me well, I'm sure.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37I see you doing this with it, Paul. You're clearly weighing it!
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- The weight is important at the moment.- It is at the moment.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46Silver and gold seem to be the material that people want to invest in.
0:05:46 > 0:05:53So that tray now, you're looking at least £500, maybe up to £800.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Wow! Wow!
0:05:55 > 0:06:00- What a cracker, isn't it?- That is an absolute...- Did you know that?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Not an idea!
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- Fantastic, isn't it? Yeah, £500, to give it a good estimate.- Terrific!
0:06:08 > 0:06:12'Let's hope we can keep those "wows" coming, Paul.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15'We'd better push on with our search.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20'These coins that I find in one of the bedrooms might help.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23'It's a set of specimen coins from the 1930s
0:06:23 > 0:06:28'and a coin celebrating King George V's silver jubilee.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32'Together, Paul thinks we could get...'
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- Look at that!- Look what I found.
0:06:34 > 0:06:40I know it's an old one. It belonged to Frances's maternal grandfather.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I think it was made for him.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47I've sat in it and I'd love to know more about it. It's beautiful.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50You're looking probably 1900, 1910.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52This is a type of X chair,
0:06:52 > 0:06:56an X-frame chair, for the way that the legs go.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01In Ancient Egypt, pharaohs used to sit on chairs very similar to this.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Oh, yes. They're often pictured on those.- It's a type of throne chair.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10The late 19th century, early 1900s, there was a great revival in these styles.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Part of the Arts & Crafts movement.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Single chairs don't sell well, but these are meant to be on their own.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23It's showing nice patina, isn't it? The arms have been worn away.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27The darker wood at the bottom, showing a good bit of age.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- And this is leather.- That's right.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33You tend to find that these chairs incorporate one or two styles.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36You've got the acanthus leaf from ancient Rome.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39You've got the X shape from Egypt.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Lots of styles.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Of course the leather was a medieval British material.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51It has this roundel at the front. Is that part of the pattern?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54That's called a boss. That's a fake one.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Some of the chairs would fold up. - Oh, I see.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59That would act like a pivot.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04But that one just adds a bit of character to the front.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08All these carvings have got a lovely patina on here as well.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Do you think Frances is sentimental about it?- I think she loves it.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15But I think the time has come for her to choose other things
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- and to have less dusting to do! - LAUGHS
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- But it is lovely.- Yeah, it's great. It's got a lovely look to it.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26On a good day, this should bring easily over £100.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Oh, good!- If I said 80 to 120?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Wonderful. That would be lovely.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35It sounds good to me. That'll add to the total.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38'Well, tempting as that chair looks, there's no time to sit around.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44'Frances offers up these two crystal decanters for auction.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47'They were given to her by her grandparents.'
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Frances, you've been living in Chepstow for about ten years.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56What made you choose here?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I only lived four miles away and it just seemed obvious
0:09:00 > 0:09:04to come to Chepstow, but I wanted a smaller house.
0:09:04 > 0:09:10- What was the other house like?- Five bedrooms, a granny annexe, two acres of land, two ponies and a donkey.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15They had to go once the girls had gone on to academia.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19When you came into Chepstow, you joined the choir.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25- Is that because you'd sung all your life?- Yes, I've always sung.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29But not always in an orderly...sort of fashion!
0:09:29 > 0:09:34- Cynthia, you must have been delighted. - Another alto, which was lovely!
0:09:34 > 0:09:38We needed some new blood and Frances was most welcome.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41She has such a lovely voice. She also fits in nicely.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Because she's fairly short, she goes at the front.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- ANGELA LAUGHS - The right voice and the right size!
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Yes, it was an ideal opportunity.
0:09:51 > 0:09:57- Frances, have you told your daughters what you're raising money for?- I have.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00They are delighted. They couldn't believe it.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04They were convinced it was going to be stair carpet!
0:10:04 > 0:10:06So what did they say?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- "Wow!"- We want to put the "wow" factor into the auction.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15Shall we see what Paul is doing and find out what we're going to take?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- See if he's going to manage the "wow"!- I'm sure he is.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24'I knew we could rely on Paul. He's spotted something else of interest.'
0:10:24 > 0:10:29- This is where he is!- Aren't these beautiful?- What lovely paintings!
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Are these pictures that you've inherited?
0:10:31 > 0:10:36They used to hang in my parents' hallway.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I believe, in grandparents' hallway as well.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Right.- They're too big, really, for this house.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Do you have any idea of what they depict?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Someone told me that it was supposed to be the Welsh Highlands,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- North Wales somewhere.- Oh. - What do you make of them, Paul?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I actually suspect they'd be Scottish.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Leader, that would be Charles Leader.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02He was a very famous artist working in the late 19th century.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07- He was doing Scottish scenes. - I thought they were Scottish!
0:11:07 > 0:11:11I can't remember who told me that they were Welsh.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15They look like Highland cattle. They've got thumping great horns.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- There is Highland cattle. - Let's say they're Scottish, then!
0:11:19 > 0:11:23There's a couple of reasons, really, why they are.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26You've got the Scottish cattle, but Queen Victoria
0:11:26 > 0:11:30set her base in Balmoral so anything Scottish was the height of fashion.
0:11:30 > 0:11:36Lots of artists would go up and capture these wonderful scenes.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40They can range from being pretty awful to being fantastic.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43These are very well painted indeed.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47What I love about his work is the use of perspective.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49You can melt into the distance.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53That's really clever, how the artist has put this lighter background
0:11:53 > 0:11:55to give the appearance of distance.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00That is a real talent. You don't get that with an average artist.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02These frames don't look right.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07The period Charles Leader was painting, the late 19th century,
0:12:07 > 0:12:11would have been highly elaborate, the Victorians are very fussy.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I think they're a bit later than the paintings.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16The frames are about 1900.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21- The paintings anywhere from 1860 to 1900.- Is he collectable?
0:12:21 > 0:12:26His paintings regularly bring between £400 and £700 each.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28You've got a lovely pair here.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I'd love to put these in between 800 and 1,000.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- How does that sound?- Fantastic!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- All right?- I meant to "wow" again!
0:12:38 > 0:12:42'Let's see how close to the mark Paul's estimate turns out to be.'
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Who'll put me in at £800 for these? £600?
0:12:45 > 0:12:49'And we won't have to wait long to find out.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54'Frances's home has a large collection of books and sheet music
0:12:54 > 0:12:56'that highlights her passion for song.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00'Apparently, her daughters Sarah and Elena are musical, too.
0:13:00 > 0:13:06'Cynthia discovered this musical cabinet that the family used to keep sheet music in.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10'Frances thinks that it's time to let this go.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16'Paul's either dismantling the furniture,
0:13:16 > 0:13:20'or he's spotted something that we might take to auction.'
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- Place your bets now, Frances. - You've found the games table!
0:13:25 > 0:13:29This is fantastic, isn't it?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Red number three. I've lost all my money!
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I lost a fortune.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38This was a complete surprise. It looks like an ordinary table.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Where has this come from?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44It's been in my family as long as I can remember.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48I don't know where my parents got it from. Probably grandparents.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- I don't know which side of the family.- Did you ever use it?
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- Never been used!- Really? - I don't think my parents used it.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58They had another card table.
0:13:58 > 0:14:04So they didn't use this. I've got a card table so I don't use it as a card table.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08If I'd had sons instead of daughters,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10we might have used it.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13There's a game for everybody. It's a compendium.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18There's two checkerboards - one for draughts, one for chess.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Inside, we've got the card table and the roulette betting board.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24What great fun!
0:14:24 > 0:14:29And not a bad looking piece of furniture, either.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34It looks fairly recent. This was maybe 1900, 1920, that sort of time.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38The golden age, really, for the card table was the 18th century.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41If you lived in a very large house,
0:14:41 > 0:14:45you'd have half a dozen games tables.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49You'd all gather round on a weekend and play your cards.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51But as time progressed,
0:14:51 > 0:14:56the casino became more available, things like roulette appeared.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59They've all got something in.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- It's a ready-made starter kit for somebody interested in games.- Yes.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06If you look at the front,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09it's made from oak, but the way it's done
0:15:09 > 0:15:11is quarter veneering.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15The same piece of veneer is transferred and put either side,
0:15:15 > 0:15:19so you get this wonderful diamond or herringbone effect.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23That's typically 1900, 1920. That helps to age it.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26How do you feel about parting with it?
0:15:26 > 0:15:31It might as well go to somebody who's going to make use of it.
0:15:31 > 0:15:37These are good fun items for people to enjoy without gambling large amounts of money.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- It's fun, that's the idea.- Yes.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43It's a nice light colour, which fits in with the modern look.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47It's not too dark. Needs a bit of work on the legs.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52- What's happened there?- I know. I think the bits are in the...
0:15:52 > 0:15:57- That would help tremendously. It looks like they've been cut off.- No.
0:15:57 > 0:16:03My mother had someone who helped her in the house and she was a bit heavy handed with the hoover.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Did she use a sledgehammer? - LAUGHS
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- "Oooh!"- She must have done!
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Joking apart, it's a lovely table.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15In great condition, you could be towards the 500 mark here.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18The legs need a bit of restoration,
0:16:18 > 0:16:23a bit of tender loving care to be brought back to life...
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- ..Is that a safe bet?- Yes! Sounds wonderful.
0:16:29 > 0:16:35'We're over halfway through our rummage and going by Paul's lower estimates,
0:16:35 > 0:16:39'so far, we could raise as much as £1,850.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43'Cynthia notices this decorative paperweight.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45'It belonged to Frances's grandmother...'
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Frances, so many things you've inherited from grandparents.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57You were particularly close to one set of grandparents?
0:16:57 > 0:17:01My father's parents, yes, paternal grandparents.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06When the war came - and I was born in 1938 -
0:17:06 > 0:17:11the two elder ones had already gone to my maternal grandparents.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15It got to the stage of, "What shall we do with Frances?"
0:17:15 > 0:17:21Then I was evacuated to the other grandparents in Clevedon.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25You went on to train as a nurse. You became, not just a nurse.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29You were a midwife and a district nurse and then went into the navy.
0:17:29 > 0:17:35- What made you make that career choice?- My brother-in-law said, "Apply to the navy.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39"And when you go, don't forget to wear a hat!"
0:17:39 > 0:17:44You used to wear those wonderful big nursing caps the naval nurses wore.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Came out here, didn't they?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50It was not the done thing to go unhatted.
0:17:50 > 0:17:57But I got in and then I met and married a surgeon lieutenant.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- Neither of your daughters have followed you into nursing.- No.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05I think, really, when the time came,
0:18:05 > 0:18:10my option to go into nursing was because my father was a doctor
0:18:10 > 0:18:14and I felt I would like to become a nurse.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Do they not want any of the things you're taking to auction?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Both of them said, "No.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22"If it can help make you happier
0:18:22 > 0:18:28"and more comfortable in the house you live in, so be it."
0:18:28 > 0:18:35- They may not want the items, but they want to go to the spa. - Indeed, they do! They can't wait.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40- We ought to go and find Paul and see how he's doing.- Wonderful. - After you.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44'Whilst we've been chatting, Paul has been all around the house
0:18:44 > 0:18:46'looking for other items to sell.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50'Amongst his discoveries, this set of Chester silver apostle spoons
0:18:50 > 0:18:52'Frances bought some years ago.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56'The spoons date to 1896 and come with sugar tongs.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00'Complete with their original box, Paul thinks...'
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- Paul, what about this? - Ah! Now, let's have a look!
0:19:07 > 0:19:13- Look at that, a map of Somersetshire.- Isn't that a beauty?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I know a little about it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- OK.- It was bought by Frances's parents.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Her mother and father met at university in Bristol.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Father was born in Clevedon, mother in Bristol.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30When they moved to Oxfordshire, they took this as a souvenir.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Part of the charm with these maps
0:19:32 > 0:19:38is seeing which village was around in the 18th century or earlier.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41You can see your town, if it existed at all!
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- Some of those names on there are amazing.- That's right.
0:19:45 > 0:19:51You've got one of Britain's best known cartographers, John Cary.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55The Cary family were world-renowned for making wonderful maps.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58They also made globes that you find in libraries,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00terrestrial and celestial globes.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05What was unique about the Cary is that they were extremely accurate
0:20:05 > 0:20:11- and that they didn't incorporate religious effigies.- Right.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Before the Carys came along, you'd have huge illustrations,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17gods and everything round it.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- This is very plain, very simple, very precise.- Fashionable.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26It became the standard of its day. Quite simple, isn't it?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Yes, in some ways, but detailed. So many things on there.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33And they're all hand-coloured, which is nice.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37This would have been a book from the late 19th century.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42- It would have had the whole British Isles.- Oh, they've taken pages out.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- Would Frances be all right letting that go?- She probably would.
0:20:46 > 0:20:52It's one thing that you may need to check with her, but I'm pretty sure she would let that go.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56OK. It won't take up a lot of room. I think it's quite nice.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59If I said £40 to £70,
0:20:59 > 0:21:03- how does that sound? - That sounds good.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Might get us on the map as well!
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- THEY LAUGH - It might do.- Let's keep looking.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13'Paul, your determination to deliver a pun for every occasion is...
0:21:13 > 0:21:15'almost impressive.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20'Some nooks and crannies are easier to get into than others.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23'Paul has discovered more silver.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25'Not quite as grand as the tray,
0:21:25 > 0:21:29'but this silver-plated teapot, jug and sugar bowl should add...
0:21:32 > 0:21:35'They belonged to Frances's mother,
0:21:35 > 0:21:41'who added a silver-plated pot for holding the hot water.'
0:21:41 > 0:21:46- Paul, what do you think of...? - These are Royal Doulton figurines.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51- Where are these from?- Inherited from my maternal grandmother.- Right.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Doulton figures are highly collected.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56It depends on the characters.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00The funny thing is, the ones that didn't sell in huge numbers,
0:22:00 > 0:22:05ones that weren't popular, tend to be ones that collectors go for now.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09I did notice that this one here has been broken at some point.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12That makes a big difference for collectors.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16That one, pretty run-of-the-mill. This one is quite special.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21This is fabulous. Look at the colours. Where did he come from?
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Again, same place. He was inherited from my grandmother.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30- I don't think he's got anything wrong with him.- No, he's perfect.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- Do you know the character? - Underneath he says One Of The Forty.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38I would put him as one of the 40 thieves from Alibaba.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40From 1001 Arabian Nights.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45This is such a rare thing that Royal Doulton did.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50One of the major designers for Royal Doulton was Harry Tittensor.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52He did these wonderful glazes.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Oriental pottery and porcelain often had this mottled effect,
0:22:57 > 0:23:01caused by hundreds of years of natural build-up of oils
0:23:01 > 0:23:03and the way the ceramic goes.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08They tried to recreate it and called it a Chang glaze.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13This glaze is one of the rarest things that Royal Doulton did.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Not many have survived. I've only ever seen this in a textbook.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21- Have you any idea how much these are worth?- Not at all.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Right, I think I might surprise you. Angela! Cynthia!
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I've found some Doulton figures.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29We see quite a lot of those, don't we?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32You've never seen one like this.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37- We're going from purple up to... It looks like a sunset!- Glorious!
0:23:37 > 0:23:41That's very rare indeed. You've cracked it.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45You've got a fantastic thing here. Falstaff is a little bit damaged.
0:23:45 > 0:23:51- He would bring around the £50 mark. - Tell us the good news about this.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54This one is such a rare item. It really is.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56It's an absolute cracker.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01You could be looking...£300, £400 for this one on its own.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- LAUGHTER - That's nice.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I've never seen one sold.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10I've only seen these illustrated in catalogues and Doulton price guides.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- That's super!- Oh, my goodness!
0:24:12 > 0:24:17- Oh, my goodness!- Fantastic. If I said at least £400 for these two,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19we're plain sailing.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24- It's a "wow"!- A definite "wow"! - All I can say nowadays is "wow"!
0:24:24 > 0:24:27We might get another "wow" in a moment.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- You want to raise £2,000.- Yes.
0:24:30 > 0:24:36Well, we should be able to raise, taking Paul's lowest estimate on everything,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38£2,410!
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Oh, my golly!
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Wow!
0:24:42 > 0:24:47- You can have two days at the spa! - And a holiday!- There you go!
0:24:50 > 0:24:54'That's a truly impressive total we've made at Frances's home.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58'I think we're in with a good chance of booking that luxury spa.
0:24:58 > 0:25:05'Amongst today's finds, the solid silver tray with a weighty estimate.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09'Those two oils by British artist Charles Leader
0:25:09 > 0:25:15'depict some magnificent Scottish Highlands scenes.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19'And, of course, we've got those lovely Royal Doulton figurines.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24'There's Falstaff and one of the 40 thieves from Alibaba.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29'Let's hope that the bidders are as enthusiastic as Paul.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37'Still to come, will the bidders go for all of our stunning lots?'
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Any more? It sells at £15...
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- There you go.- It's not your fault.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48'And which of Frances's items exceeds everyone expectations?'
0:25:48 > 0:25:50£300...
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Wow!
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- Fantastic!- It's lunch on me, then!
0:25:56 > 0:25:59'Be there for the final drop of the gavel.'
0:26:03 > 0:26:08It's been a week or two since we were with the Gray family in Chepstow.
0:26:08 > 0:26:14They had some lovely items, so I can't wait to see what today's bidders are going to make of them.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18We brought everything here to the Welsh town of Carmarthen,
0:26:18 > 0:26:20to the Peter Francis auction room.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Let's hope there are some serious bidders around today.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28'Frances has got quite a variety of items with her today.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31'We're especially excited to see how much that silver tray will fetch.'
0:26:31 > 0:26:36- Frances, lovely to see you again. Who have you got with you?- Elena.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38My daughter who wasn't well on the day.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42You've been hearing about your ancestors?
0:26:42 > 0:26:48I have. My great-grandparents, I believe. You've been telling me about the history behind it.
0:26:48 > 0:26:54- You didn't know much about them before?- Not at all, so a real learning curve!
0:26:54 > 0:26:56This, we know we're going to sell.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01- Silver is fetching such a high price, Paul.- There's two values.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06The value for its silver content, which is very high. All metals are.
0:27:06 > 0:27:12Then you've got the value as a nice intrinsic tray. You've got no problem with that at all.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17- You've got a fixed reserve on the paintings.- £1,000 on them.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- And 400 on the Arab. - I've had a chat to the auctioneer.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25He's advertised it on three different websites.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29You've got a good chance of a good price. We put £400 reserve on it.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Look out for the guy with the magic carpet.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37'It sounds like the auctioneer's using some pretty hefty sound gear.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41'We'll have to concentrate to hear ourselves.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46'First up is that pair of fetching decanters that Frances got from her grandmother.'
0:27:46 > 0:27:50People don't put booze in them any more.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53I did have booze in them but we drank it!
0:27:55 > 0:27:58There they go at 30. 35 is with me. At 35.
0:27:58 > 0:28:0140 at the very back. 45.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- AUCTIONEER LOUDLY ON SPEAKER: - Standing at the back at £50.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09They go in the room at 50. Is there no more? Going at £50...
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- That's disappointing.- Mm. Very.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15That's the way that things go now.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20- We've seen beautiful crystal decanters go for even less.- Yes.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23'Crystal decanters weren't in fashion with our bidders.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27'Maybe we should have left some spirit inside them!
0:28:27 > 0:28:31'However, we have all got high hopes for our next lot.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34'The auctioneer split these into separate lots
0:28:34 > 0:28:36'to maximise their potential.'
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Our rarity coming up,
0:28:38 > 0:28:44this wonderful Royal Doulton "china figure of an Arab, One Of The Forty".
0:28:44 > 0:28:49One of the 40 thieves! He is rather special. He was rather special in your house.
0:28:49 > 0:28:55I didn't realise how special he was until Paul came and valued him.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59Ordinary Doulton figures have been selling for £10 or £20.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03A couple of rarities for £140, so there are Doulton buyers here.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07With a bit of luck, someone will pick up on this.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10I can start the bidding at 300. 350 with me.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12350! There you go.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15400. 450. 500.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18550. 600.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20And 50. 650.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24On the book at £650. Selling with me at 650. Any more?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27At £650...
0:29:27 > 0:29:30LAUGHING: Fantastic!
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- How's that?- 650?
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- You didn't expect that, did you? - Amazing!
0:29:38 > 0:29:42'I don't think any of us saw that coming.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46'I bet Frances wishes she could lay her hands on the other 39 thieves!
0:29:46 > 0:29:49'Not quite as rare is the Falstaff figure,
0:29:49 > 0:29:53'who only manages to make £40, but Frances is happy with the result.'
0:29:53 > 0:29:55That's a good "wow"!
0:29:57 > 0:30:03'Now, we're not quite sure as to the make of this fetching paperweight,
0:30:03 > 0:30:06'but Paul reckons it's an item of good quality.'
0:30:06 > 0:30:11Lots of the glass-makers would put hidden symbols in the cane work.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- Right.- You'd get little a horse or little animal.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17I can't see anything in it at all.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21We can say possibly Baccarat but we can't say for definite.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Two bidders here with me. At 100. 110 I'm bid.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Before we even start!
0:30:27 > 0:30:30At 110. 120. 130.
0:30:30 > 0:30:36£130 on the book. 130. At £130...
0:30:36 > 0:30:38- Wow!- Wow!- Crikey!
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- LAUGHTER - Brilliant.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- Grandfather would have been proud of that, wouldn't he?- He would.
0:30:44 > 0:30:50'The absence of a maker's name didn't put our buyers off at all!
0:30:50 > 0:30:54'That was well over Paul's lower estimate. Tea's up!'
0:30:54 > 0:30:59My mother used to use it a lot and when she put it away,
0:30:59 > 0:31:05she used to put a sugar lump inside the teapot to keep it sweet.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10They also put it in there to stop the thing corroding inside.
0:31:10 > 0:31:16- What the sugar cube does is absorb all the moisture.- There you go.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21A nice set, but only restaurants and hotels tend to use these nowadays.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26£30 away on that? 30, surely? 20 to go, then? At ten only.
0:31:26 > 0:31:2915. At 15. 20 may I say? 20 on the back row.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33At £20. Selling it in the room. Is there no more?
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- Going at £20... - BANGS GAVEL
0:31:36 > 0:31:40- It's not everyone's cup of tea! - ANGELA LAUGHS
0:31:40 > 0:31:45'Our silver plated wares may not have proved successful,
0:31:45 > 0:31:50'but this tray is solid silver, weighing more than 40 ounces.'
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- It's an important piece of your family history, Elena.- Yeah.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00It was given to my great-grandfather by the company that he worked for,
0:32:00 > 0:32:03so strong family history there.
0:32:03 > 0:32:0842 ounces, so we know it's going to make between £500 and £800.
0:32:08 > 0:32:13A couple of years ago, this would have brought £300, £350.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18500 to put me in? 300. 320 I've got. 350. 380. 400.
0:32:18 > 0:32:23- 400.- 420. 450. 480. 500.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27£500 sitting on the back row. 520 standing. All in the room. 550.
0:32:27 > 0:32:33580. 580 now, the gentleman's bid. Against you, madam, at 580.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37Selling to the gentleman at 580. Here it goes. £580...
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- Wow!- Wow!- Terrific, yes?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42FRANCES LAUGHS
0:32:42 > 0:32:46'That proves that with the current price of silver being strong,
0:32:46 > 0:32:49'it was a good time for Frances to sell.'
0:32:49 > 0:32:55- These little apostle teaspoons were very popular at one time.- Yeah.
0:32:55 > 0:33:01People tend to give items like this for a silver wedding anniversary, for 25 years.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05When you've got something boxed, mint condition, it's nice to give.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09At 20 only. At 20 only bid. 25. At 25 on the back row.
0:33:09 > 0:33:1330 is it? 30 standing. 35 in the second row.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15At 35. 40 still there in the middle.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- 45 fresh blood on the left. At 50 in the centre aisle...- Going up.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22..60. 65.
0:33:22 > 0:33:2470. 75.
0:33:24 > 0:33:2780. At £80 in the centre aisle. All done...?
0:33:27 > 0:33:31- That really is a fantastic price. - ..At £80...!
0:33:31 > 0:33:37- That was a surprising price.- Yeah. Very, very good.- That was excellent.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40'Another good result for Frances's silver.
0:33:40 > 0:33:47'Now that we're halfway through our auction, it might be worth totting up how we're doing.'
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- 2,000, that's your target for your very special day out.- Yes.
0:33:50 > 0:33:56We're only at the halfway stage and so far, you've made...
0:33:56 > 0:33:58- £1,550.- Wow!
0:33:58 > 0:34:01PAUL CHUCKLES
0:34:01 > 0:34:03That's incredible.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07'Things are looking good for Frances's target for £2,000.
0:34:07 > 0:34:13'She wants to treat herself and her daughters to a spa pampering session.
0:34:13 > 0:34:19'If you've got items you think might sell at auction, remember that fees such as commission will be added.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23'It is best to check with your auction house.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27'Frances's next lot is that coin collection that I found.'
0:34:27 > 0:34:32There are lots of coins and medals here and they've been doing well.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35There are coin dealers and collectors here.
0:34:35 > 0:34:40The set you've got is a proof set which celebrated the coronation
0:34:40 > 0:34:42of George VI in 1937.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- Let's see how we get on. - £50 away?
0:34:45 > 0:34:4850 I'm bid straightaway on the right. 60.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- 70. 80. 90. 100. - Hands everywhere!
0:34:51 > 0:34:56Ten. 20. 130. 140.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- 150.- Wow!- 160. 170. 180.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02190. 200. 220.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06- Wow! - Against you, madam. 240. 260.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08280, fresh blood in two places.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10300, I've taken.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14300 with you, holding the catalogue. Fresh blood at the last minute.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Selling at £300...
0:35:17 > 0:35:19- Wow!- Fantastic!
0:35:19 > 0:35:23It's lunch on me, then! LAUGHTER
0:35:23 > 0:35:25'Another spectacular result.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29'Coin collecting is big business and Paul was right about today's crowd,
0:35:29 > 0:35:33'in that it might include collectors.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37'Next, a map that Frances is pretty sure belonged to her mother.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41'Published by the English cartographer John Cary,
0:35:41 > 0:35:44'it dates back to the early 19th century.'
0:35:44 > 0:35:47I like this. It's a nice small map.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Normally, the maps are massive size.
0:35:49 > 0:35:54Very old, interesting item. Do you know who lived in Somerset?
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Both my parents were born in Somerset, in Clevedon.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02This was a particular favourite of my father's.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06What's that worth? £30, away? 30 for that, surely?
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Ten to get on, then. A little map of Somerset. Ten for the map.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13Five, as bad as that! Eight on the right.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Ten. 12 for you, sir? 12.
0:36:15 > 0:36:1915? 15. 18? At 15, the lady's bid on the back row.
0:36:19 > 0:36:24- 18 may I say? Any more? It sells at £15...- Sorry.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- There you go.- It's not your fault!
0:36:27 > 0:36:32- It's all those people from Somerset! - Who aren't here!- Yes!
0:36:32 > 0:36:36'We were a bit out with that result, but at least the £15
0:36:36 > 0:36:40'takes us closer to our £2,000 target.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44'These two Charles Leader oils were estimated by Paul at £800 to £1,000.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49'Frances has decided to put a fixed reserve of £1,000 on the pair.'
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Paul, explain the difference between a fixed reserve
0:36:53 > 0:36:56and a reserve at the auctioneer's discretion.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Both come up from time to time in the programme.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03A discretionary reserve means that the auctioneer uses his discretion.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Say you had £1,000 and it reaches 800, 850,
0:37:07 > 0:37:11he thinks that's a reasonable price and something you'd be happy with,
0:37:11 > 0:37:14he uses his discretion, lets it go.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18A fixed reserve means it has to fetch exactly what you want for it.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23In your case, if it went for £999, he won't sell it. But let's see.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Who'll put me in at £800 for these? £800 for these?
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- 600 to put me in, then? - Doesn't look like it, does it?- 600?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- No.- We'll leave those to another day, ladies and gentlemen.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39It would have been terrible to have let them go for 600 or even less.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- You were right to put your reserve on it.- Yes.- Absolutely.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48'At least they'll get to enjoy those canvases for a while longer.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52'Frances has also put a reserve of £100 on the games table,
0:37:52 > 0:37:55'but we're looking for more,
0:37:55 > 0:37:59'so let's hope these bidders are up for a gamble.'
0:37:59 > 0:38:03This is one of my favourite items, a great useable piece of furniture.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06That fantastic games table. It's got chequers.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09It's got draughts. It's got roulette.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13Is this something that you've ever played with?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15I haven't, but I really like it.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19It's something I'm going to be really sad to see go, actually.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22150 for the games table? Surely?
0:38:22 > 0:38:27100 to put me in, the games table. 100? 50 to start me? There it is.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- 50 I'm bid.- No. - 60 down here on the front.
0:38:30 > 0:38:3370 at the very back. 80. 90?
0:38:33 > 0:38:3780 standing at the front here. Against you at the back. £80 only.
0:38:37 > 0:38:4190 he says. At 90. £100?
0:38:41 > 0:38:44£90, standing at the back. I'm selling it, make no mistake.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Going at the back. £90...
0:38:48 > 0:38:53He has let that go for 90. He's used his discretion on the reserve.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56'That is a shame that this lovely piece of recreational furniture
0:38:56 > 0:38:59'failed to impress.
0:38:59 > 0:39:04'Our last three lots haven't been successful, so if we are to make Frances's target of £2,000,
0:39:04 > 0:39:09'we really do need a good price on her music cabinet.'
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- You had your music in there, Elena? - I did. I played the piano and cello.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17- All my books were in there. - Why are you getting rid of it, then?
0:39:17 > 0:39:21I play the cello now, but the piano's gone.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26I keep the music in a pile in my house now! The music cabinet's been left behind.
0:39:26 > 0:39:3050 for that? There it is, surely, at 30? 35 down here.
0:39:30 > 0:39:3440 I've got on the book. 45. 50. 55 now...
0:39:34 > 0:39:35Yes.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39..Any more? Against you all here at £55...!
0:39:39 > 0:39:43- There we are. 55. That's all right, isn't it, really?- Yes.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46'That result was one we definitely needed.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48'It's now down to our final lot,
0:39:48 > 0:39:52'and one that's apparently been in the family for years,
0:39:52 > 0:39:54'the leather priest's chair.'
0:39:54 > 0:39:58- Whose chair was this? - It was my grandfather's.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- Do you remember him sitting in it? - Yes.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04And then when it came to my parents,
0:40:04 > 0:40:08it used to sit in the corner and nobody sat on it except at Christmas
0:40:08 > 0:40:11when there were too many people in the house!
0:40:11 > 0:40:1550 to go? 30 only. 40 the lady down here. At 40.
0:40:15 > 0:40:1950 on the front. 60. 70.
0:40:19 > 0:40:2290, fresh blood in two places. 100...
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Two places!
0:40:24 > 0:40:26..Against you both. 110...
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Oh, wow!
0:40:28 > 0:40:35..120, still there. 120. Is there any more? £120...
0:40:35 > 0:40:39- Wow!- There you go! It's like a roller coaster, isn't it?
0:40:39 > 0:40:43'That's a great finish to our day here with Frances and Elena.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47'Has that last sale taken us to our target?'
0:40:47 > 0:40:52- You wanted to raise £2,000. A huge chunk of that depended on those paintings.- Yes.
0:40:52 > 0:40:58Even without the paintings... When you do sell them, that will be a lovely extra bonus.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Remind us what you want to spend the money on.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04Myself and Elena and her sister,
0:41:04 > 0:41:11we're going to have a full day's massage and sauna and swim
0:41:11 > 0:41:14and lovely lunch as well.
0:41:14 > 0:41:19- You looking forward to that, Elena? - Yes. A nice relaxing day.
0:41:19 > 0:41:25You'll still be able to have a pretty super day, the three of you.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Because you've managed to raise...
0:41:27 > 0:41:31£2,140.
0:41:31 > 0:41:36That's incredible! Fantastic! We can have a massage every hour!
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- Congratulations! - Lovely. That's fantastic.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47'Eldest daughter Sarah can't make the spa break now,
0:41:47 > 0:41:50'so the girls' pampering session is on hold.
0:41:50 > 0:41:56'Until then, Elena and Frances have decided to treat themselves to a mini day out at a spa.'
0:41:56 > 0:42:00We've booked in for a facial and an Indian head massage.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05'Today, I had a facial, which was most relaxing.'
0:42:05 > 0:42:07How are you going, Elena?
0:42:07 > 0:42:10I'm nearly asleep. It's lovely.
0:42:10 > 0:42:16Never had a head massage at all. Feel nice and chilled-out now.
0:42:17 > 0:42:22Taking part in Cash In The Attic has been an immense joy.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25I thoroughly enjoyed it.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Turning it into money has been fantastic.
