0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is the Guildhall in Winchester.

0:00:04 > 0:00:07Hundreds of people have turned up laden with bags and boxes

0:00:07 > 0:00:10full of unwanted antiques.

0:00:10 > 0:00:14It's our job to tell them what it's worth. Welcome to Flog It!

0:00:35 > 0:00:37Just look at this queue, hundreds of people

0:00:37 > 0:00:42hoping they get chosen to go through to the auction.

0:00:42 > 0:00:47We've all got unwanted antiques and this is the place to bring them,

0:00:47 > 0:00:49the Flog It! valuation day.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53- What are you gonna do? - EVERYONE: Flog it!

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Ooh, careful.

0:00:56 > 0:01:00'Our experts are led by James Lewis and Christina Trevanion.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04'It seems like they want valuations handed to them on a plate.'

0:01:04 > 0:01:07You've been making too many pies on this.

0:01:07 > 0:01:12What would Queen Victoria think if she knew she had a pie on her face?

0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Where did that one come from? - From his relatives.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18- She's blaming it on you! - Yes, she is.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21It's 9.30, time to get the doors open.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Are you ready to go in? - EVERYONE: Yes!

0:01:25 > 0:01:30'On today's programme, we've got a real girl-boy thing going on.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32'James goes all macho with swords and guns.'

0:01:33 > 0:01:35I'll be careful.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38'Christina is being girlie and pink.'

0:01:38 > 0:01:41I've fallen in love!

0:01:41 > 0:01:45'And I get carried away with my little cherubs.'

0:01:45 > 0:01:47They're just so cool.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49290...

0:01:49 > 0:01:53'So, just how high will our treasures fly at auction?'

0:01:53 > 0:01:54Phew! Phew!

0:01:54 > 0:01:58I said we're at the cutting edge. That's a fabulous price!

0:02:03 > 0:02:05We've certainly got a full house.

0:02:05 > 0:02:10Good job we've got eight experts - six off screen, two on screen.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12They have their work cut out.

0:02:12 > 0:02:17I'll hand you over to James and Christina to see what we find.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19'Christina first, with an artist's collection.'

0:02:19 > 0:02:23Stella, this rather wonderful gilt tooled book

0:02:23 > 0:02:27- has some wonderful secrets inside. - It does.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29We've got some wonderful sketches.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Tell me how it's come into your possession.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35My grandfather purchased it.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37He'd given it to my grandmother

0:02:37 > 0:02:42because she was herself an artist and he thought she would like it.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45There are some wonderful pictures, this particularly,

0:02:45 > 0:02:49I think is charming. It's obviously a family dog.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53- Yes.- It's a really very intimate little study.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Unfortunately, we can't attribute

0:02:56 > 0:03:00any of the pictures to any professional artist.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02They are quite amateur.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04But I think that's quite charming.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08I like it that it's not somebody we can trace overly.

0:03:08 > 0:03:13There are some portraits there. That one's particularly touching.

0:03:13 > 0:03:20They're dating around the 1850s, through the '60s to the 1870s.

0:03:20 > 0:03:25So they do span quite a period of time. Some of them are dated.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Little watercolour sketches.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31The Palazzo Vecchio in Florence.

0:03:31 > 0:03:36That's in the form of an early postcard there. Nice to have that.

0:03:36 > 0:03:41Went there aged 21, whoever did this album, which is quite nice.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46It really is a wonderful snapshot of somebody's travels and observations.

0:03:46 > 0:03:51- Where they've been and what they've seen.- Exactly. It's wonderful.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54A sailing boat there.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57- I wonder if that was on the Hamble.- Probably.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00It is quite a difficult thing to value.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04- It is quite a selective little thing.- It is.

0:04:04 > 0:04:09Very personal to the family who once had it, but not many other people.

0:04:09 > 0:04:14We would be looking in the region of maybe £80 to £120.

0:04:14 > 0:04:19- Maybe a £60 firm reserve. - Yes. That's fine. Yes, lovely.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Hopefully, it'll go for slightly more.- That would be nice.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Thanks very much for bringing it in.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28'I hope our bidders appreciate it, too.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32'Items of social history are such a joy to handle on Flog It!

0:04:32 > 0:04:36'Janice and Mick have brought in some Carlton Ware for James.'

0:04:36 > 0:04:41- Been in the family a long time? - Yes. I inherited them 40 years ago.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44They belonged to my late husband's parents.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48They would have been not far off new at that point.

0:04:48 > 0:04:52It's called the New Mikado pattern, one of the most famous

0:04:52 > 0:04:55of all the lustre wares that Carlton Ware made.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59This pagoda is classic, with its orange, green and yellow.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03If we look at the gilding, it's not rubbed at all.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06You can see inside why they're called lustre.

0:05:06 > 0:05:13Almost looks as if you've tipped petrol in there. Such a good colour.

0:05:13 > 0:05:19The more ornate, the larger the object, the more valuable they are.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21A little pair of vases like this

0:05:21 > 0:05:25- are not going to be taking you on a cruise, I'm afraid!- No!

0:05:25 > 0:05:31They're good saleable objects, so if we put an estimate of £60 to £90,

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- would that be OK?- Yes.- Fine.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37You might find something at the auction to buy.

0:05:37 > 0:05:42- I'm afraid I won't be able to be there.- Why? What can possibly be...?

0:05:42 > 0:05:45I'm really sad. It's a charity day.

0:05:45 > 0:05:50- You a big charity worker?- I shall probably spend the money that day.

0:05:50 > 0:05:55- We like to do our bit and that's how my husband and I met.- Go on.

0:05:55 > 0:06:0017, 18 years ago on a 21-seater bike

0:06:00 > 0:06:04in Ireland, raising money for Alzheimer's.

0:06:04 > 0:06:09I have to say... A 21-seater? I didn't know such things existed!

0:06:09 > 0:06:13I fell off a bar stool and that was it.

0:06:13 > 0:06:18- I picked her up and took her home. - It was the Guinness.- I bet it was.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22- You're not on a 21-seater bike on the auction day?- No.- Good.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25- You might lose her to another husband!- You never know!

0:06:25 > 0:06:30Only kidding. Enjoy your charity day and I'll see you at the sale.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35'I'm searching the queue for items that catch my eye.'

0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Isn't that nice, Anne?- I know!

0:06:38 > 0:06:40This could be worth a lot of money.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Anyone got some Clarice?

0:06:43 > 0:06:47- What have you brought in?- Nothing. - Just yourself?- Just me.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Ah! We can't put a value on you, can we?- No.- Priceless.

0:06:53 > 0:06:58- I've joined up with Edna, who lives nearby in Shirley.- Yes.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01From Shirley. I nearly called you Shirley!

0:07:01 > 0:07:04These two cherubs, I think,

0:07:04 > 0:07:06are absolutely beautiful.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10Late 18th, early 19th century. I'd imagine these are Italian.

0:07:10 > 0:07:15They've been partially gilded but the gold leaf is starting to wear.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19For me, that gives these personality and character.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23This would have been bright gold, too blingy for me.

0:07:23 > 0:07:28Two winged cherubs, do you know what this is symbolic of?

0:07:28 > 0:07:33- No.- In the 18th century, you saw a lot of cherubs floating around,

0:07:33 > 0:07:37painted with wings in massive great big portraits.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41- Yes, that's true.- It's a symbol of child mortality.- Oh.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43It's a bit gruesome, isn't it?

0:07:43 > 0:07:48Nevertheless, highly collectable because they're decorators' pieces.

0:07:48 > 0:07:53You can have them on a counter, over a picture frame, over a mirror.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57- Any idea what they're worth?- No. - Would you be happy with £70?

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Anything I can get cos I don't think they're very pretty.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Not any more, anyway.

0:08:03 > 0:08:08I think, on a good day, you might possibly get £300.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Really?- Mm.- My goodness me.

0:08:11 > 0:08:16Put them into auction with a value of £150 to £250.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19And on a very good day, we might get £300.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22They certainly have the look.

0:08:22 > 0:08:26Every interior designer is going to want to own these.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29They're just so cool.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32'Something else cool has arrived at Christina's table.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35'Val's showing her some jewellery.'

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Val, I've fallen in love!

0:08:37 > 0:08:42I love these two pieces. They're my favourite pieces from today.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46- Why are you selling them? - I never wear them.

0:08:46 > 0:08:51I've had them since the '70s and I just thought I'd sell them.

0:08:51 > 0:08:56- Where have you got them from? - From Denmark. - You bought them in Denmark?- Yes.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59The first one we'll talk about is the bangle.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02It has a really nice inscription on the back.

0:09:02 > 0:09:07A facsimile signature, Hans Hansen. It's stamped Denmark.

0:09:07 > 0:09:12925S, which is symbolic for standard sterling silver.

0:09:12 > 0:09:17Hans Hansen started off designing flatware - knives, forks, spoons.

0:09:17 > 0:09:22- Yeah.- He was very much following in the footsteps of Georg Jensen,

0:09:22 > 0:09:26who was designing some wonderfully wacky stylised things.

0:09:26 > 0:09:32- I love it. I think it's wonderful. Do you ever wear it?- No. I can't.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35- I can't get it on now. - It's fabulous.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39- And the brooch, almost bird-like, isn't it?- Yes.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42Difficult to know what he was trying to portray.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46On a black dress, it would look quite stunning.

0:09:46 > 0:09:51- I think it's like a deer and that's the deer's head.- Do you think?

0:09:51 > 0:09:54- I don't know what it is.- With wings!

0:09:54 > 0:09:56I love it.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00The bangle, although it is quite small -

0:10:00 > 0:10:03still fits with a bit of a push - it would still be quite wearable.

0:10:03 > 0:10:08- It wouldn't fall off. - No. It's quite secure on there.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10- Would you wear that?- I would.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14- It's lovely, isn't it?- Yeah. - What about you?- Definitely.

0:10:14 > 0:10:19It's really nice. I still think they should do quite well at auction.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23We'd probably be looking in the region of

0:10:23 > 0:10:28- about £100 to £200.- Oh, right. - How do you feel about that?

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Yes, that's fine.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34- So shall we go ahead and flog 'em? - Lovely. Thank you.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40This is the Flog It! production in full swing.

0:10:40 > 0:10:45It looks a bit chaotic but everybody knows exactly what they're doing.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49James Lewis is ready to film his next lot. So is Christina.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Two camera crews on each table.

0:10:52 > 0:10:57We've got sound men, directors, runners, researchers and you, the general public.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01Without you we wouldn't have a show, so please, bring your antiques

0:11:01 > 0:11:04and collectables to one of our valuation days.

0:11:04 > 0:11:09Pick up the details of the venues we're coming to soon on our website

0:11:09 > 0:11:11at bbc.co.uk/flogit

0:11:11 > 0:11:17Remember, it's free to come along, and you might end up being on telly.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20How do you think our valuations went?

0:11:20 > 0:11:24There's one way to find out. We're off to auction!

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Here's a reminder of what we've chosen.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30This is one of the nicest scrap books I've seen.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34It's a tour through somebody's life and the places they've been.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37I hope that our buyers appreciate that.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41Ten years ago, these would have sold at £70 all day long, easily.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45Today, the auction market's a very different thing.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48I've got a feeling they might struggle.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52I chose these two cherubs because I truly believe in them

0:11:52 > 0:11:55and I want to give Edna a pleasant surprise.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Flog It! now has "the look".

0:11:58 > 0:12:03They'll have to fight to get these pieces of Danish jewellery off me.

0:12:03 > 0:12:08They're gorgeous and so wearable. I know they'll find a good new home.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11At £180, are you sure?

0:12:11 > 0:12:14For the last time at £180...

0:12:14 > 0:12:18'Our sale today is in Itchen Stoke at Andrew Smith & Sons.'

0:12:18 > 0:12:22It's auction time, where we put our valuations to the test

0:12:22 > 0:12:27here in this gorgeous saleroom - the perfect place to sell antiques.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31We've got two auctioneers today, Nick Jarrett and Andrew Smith.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Relax and take things easy.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36For us, it's going to be a roller coaster ride.

0:12:36 > 0:12:41At 1,300. 1,350 back in. 1,400?

0:12:41 > 0:12:44One more. 1,450.

0:12:45 > 0:12:50'We start with something Christina spotted that will please you Van Gogh wannabes.'

0:12:50 > 0:12:54Going under the hammer now, this wonderful artist's sketchbook.

0:12:54 > 0:12:59It belongs to Stella. It's such a hard thing to put a valuation on.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03Christina, I take my hat off to you. 80 to 120, that's sensible.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07This could fly away or just do the estimate. There's a lot there.

0:13:07 > 0:13:12- It's a nice thing to muse over. You can get carried away.- Yes.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16Let's hope this lot get carried away. It's going under the hammer.

0:13:16 > 0:13:20The watercolour album and sketchbook.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23All sorts in the there, with the landscapes et cetera.

0:13:23 > 0:13:28Where do you start with this? £40? Don't want to come below that.

0:13:28 > 0:13:3340 I have. Thank you. And two can I say? At £40.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35And two. 45. 48. 50.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Five. 60.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41At 60, then, down here. Are you going on?

0:13:41 > 0:13:4465 on the net. 70, now. And five...

0:13:44 > 0:13:47Lady in the room and an internet bidder.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50- ..80 now. And five...? - This is good, Stella.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53I thought the internet might pick it up.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55It's creeping up. Wow.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59..100. And ten?

0:13:59 > 0:14:02£100, the lady's bid. £100 in the room.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06At £100. Are you done...?

0:14:07 > 0:14:11There was so much sentimental value there for some family.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13If we knew who, we'd be laughing.

0:14:13 > 0:14:17- It's gone.- Yes.- It made mid-estimate and it's worth every penny.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Yes. I hope they enjoy it. - They will.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22- They are nice.- Excellent.

0:14:22 > 0:14:27'I'm sure the new owners will enjoy those pictures as much as we did.

0:14:27 > 0:14:32'Next, two Carlton Ware vases belonging to Mick and Janice.'

0:14:32 > 0:14:36We've got Mick. Janice can't be with us. She's doing some charity work.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40- She's at her charity bridge day. - Why are you flogging these?

0:14:40 > 0:14:46- They've been in the loft for three years.- Gosh.- We're interested in Flog It so we've come along.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49All of a sudden, James had us at the top table!

0:14:49 > 0:14:52"I like these," he said, with those big flared rims!

0:14:52 > 0:14:57These are just the staple diet of auction houses.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01You do not go to an auction without finding Carlton Ware vases.

0:15:01 > 0:15:06Really, these should sell ANY day, anywhere, any place.

0:15:06 > 0:15:12- So good luck.- Thank you. - I gather all the money's going to charity.- That's correct.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16This is exciting. Let's find out what it's worth.

0:15:16 > 0:15:22The pair of Carlton Ware New Mikado vases. Start me at £70 on these?

0:15:22 > 0:15:2450, then?

0:15:24 > 0:15:2750 I have. And five here. 60.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29And five. 70. And five.

0:15:29 > 0:15:3280. And five. 90?

0:15:32 > 0:15:34£85 at the front. Is there 90?

0:15:34 > 0:15:38- 90 right up at the top. - Fresh legs.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41At £90. At £90 and selling. Is there five?

0:15:41 > 0:15:43At £90, are you all done?

0:15:43 > 0:15:46At £90 for the very last time...

0:15:47 > 0:15:51- Hammer's gone down.- Excellent. - Good result?- Very good result.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54All the money's going to charity.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Will you clear the rest of the attic out?- We're working on it.

0:15:57 > 0:16:03'I've a feeling they'll be back on Flog It! soon with more goodies.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05'Now, a pair of goodies,

0:16:05 > 0:16:10'the Hans Hansen brooch and bangle belonging to Val.'

0:16:10 > 0:16:16- You bought this in the '70s? - Way back.- Why are you selling it? It's all the rage.- I never wear it.

0:16:16 > 0:16:20I put it away in a chest for, like, 30 years!

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Someone who does love it is right next to me.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27- Christina, it's a nice thing. - It's beautiful and so wearable.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31- So so wearable, I really hope it sells well for you.- I hope so, too.

0:16:31 > 0:16:36- Let's hope we get the £200, top end of the estimate.- Yeah. Hope so.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40- Fingers crossed. Two things - the brooch...- And the bangle. Exactly.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44Good luck. Let's find out what the bidders think. Here we go.

0:16:44 > 0:16:51The fish brooch, a handsome bit. Hans Hansen.

0:16:51 > 0:16:58I'm going to start you, to clear all bids here, at 110.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Brilliant. Straight away. - Anyone in the room 120?

0:17:01 > 0:17:04110 with me. Anybody going on? At £110.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08- Oh, dear.- Is that it...?

0:17:08 > 0:17:12- Straight in and straight out. - At £110, all done...

0:17:13 > 0:17:16- That was short and sharp.- It was.

0:17:16 > 0:17:20- Disappointing.- Ah! - Had a commission bid.

0:17:20 > 0:17:25I bet the bid was higher, if someone was here to push it up, but it's gone within estimate.

0:17:25 > 0:17:30'We weren't sure if that brooch was a fish, a bird or a deer,

0:17:30 > 0:17:32'but at least it sold.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36'Up next, my favourite item of the show so far.'

0:17:36 > 0:17:40My turn to be the expert. I think this next lot could just fly away.

0:17:40 > 0:17:45I'm sure they will, because they've got wings. It's those cherubs.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49- Edna, that put a smile on your face. You've been nervous.- Yes, very.

0:17:49 > 0:17:54Everybody's passed by them going, "Gosh! Aren't they nice?"

0:17:54 > 0:17:56- Does that make you feel better?- Yes.

0:17:56 > 0:18:01- Who are you here with today? - My granddaughter and her boyfriend.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05They're over there now. I can see them.

0:18:05 > 0:18:09They're waving, look. Good luck. It's a proper family day out.

0:18:09 > 0:18:15The polychrome decorated cherub head...

0:18:15 > 0:18:18- It's quiet.- Yes, very quiet. - Oh, dear. We may struggle.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22..Three commission bids. Two telephones.

0:18:22 > 0:18:27Have we got the second telephone up? I'm going to start the bidding at...

0:18:27 > 0:18:30£200. Is there 20 in the room?

0:18:30 > 0:18:34At £200 and selling. Is there 20? At £200, commission bid.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37220. 240. 260?

0:18:38 > 0:18:42280. 290?

0:18:42 > 0:18:44300. 320?

0:18:45 > 0:18:49At £320 and selling. Is there 340?

0:18:49 > 0:18:52At £320 for the last time...

0:18:54 > 0:18:57- They've sold for £320.- Very good.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59- That was good, wasn't it?- Yeah.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04'I love getting my hands on something of real quality.

0:19:04 > 0:19:09'If you've got something, bring it to one of our valuation days.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12'We'll be back at the auction a little bit later.'

0:19:18 > 0:19:2221st-century Winchester is a peaceful, beautiful place,

0:19:22 > 0:19:26but it has a 2,000-year-old link with British military history.

0:19:26 > 0:19:31This is the Peninsula Barracks, once home to serving army regiments.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34Now, part of it is home to a museum

0:19:34 > 0:19:38dedicated to a very brave band of soldiers, the Gurkhas.

0:19:40 > 0:19:44Gurkhas have been part of the British army for almost 200 years.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47But who are these fearsome Nepalese fighters?

0:19:47 > 0:19:51"Better to die than be a coward", the Gurkha motto sets the tone

0:19:51 > 0:19:55that reflects their fearsome and valiant reputation.

0:19:55 > 0:20:00They've served with British soldiers all over the world from World War I

0:20:00 > 0:20:04to World War II, the Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan.

0:20:04 > 0:20:08A young Prince Harry lived with a Gurkha regiment

0:20:08 > 0:20:11for his ten-week tour of duty in Afghanistan.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17The Gurkhas originate from the hill villages of Nepal,

0:20:17 > 0:20:20where they were a proud warrior nation.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24The British fought them in the Empire building of the 1800s.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27And, realising their potential, put them in uniform,

0:20:27 > 0:20:31and eventually made them part of the British army.

0:20:35 > 0:20:39The Gurkhas became renowned as tough, masculine soldiers

0:20:39 > 0:20:41fearless in the face of the enemy.

0:20:41 > 0:20:47They own a reputation for front-line fighting all over the world.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50There are many legends about the Gurkhas and their bravery

0:20:50 > 0:20:53and about this, the kukri, the knife

0:20:53 > 0:20:56that is the symbol of the Gurkha, and the symbol of Nepal.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00It has a curved blade that averages 14 to 16 inches long.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02There's a selection here.

0:21:02 > 0:21:07The one here in a leather sheath was used in the First World War.

0:21:07 > 0:21:12These were made by blacksmiths in Nepal and throughout India.

0:21:12 > 0:21:17The handle, that's rather small. That wouldn't fit my big fat hand.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21Couldn't grip it. It wouldn't feel comfortable.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25Here is a knife that was used during the Second World War.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Note the canvas.

0:21:27 > 0:21:33Around 120,000 Gurkhas enlisted, each having two or three knives.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37Up to the present day. These are still being made in Nepal and India.

0:21:37 > 0:21:41The sheaths are made out of water buffalo hide.

0:21:41 > 0:21:46It's beautifully balanced. It's slightly smaller now.

0:21:46 > 0:21:51It's still as lethal. That is razor sharp and it has a bone handle.

0:21:51 > 0:21:56Sharpening and cleaning these is a key part of the Gurkha's routine.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59He would do that by using one of the knives

0:21:59 > 0:22:02in the back of the sheath.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04There's two out here.

0:22:04 > 0:22:09One would be for striking a flint. It's quite blunt on the edge.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12Also, metal on metal, for sharpening the blade.

0:22:12 > 0:22:17The other knife is for skinning and pulling flesh off the prey

0:22:17 > 0:22:19that you're about to eat.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21As every schoolboy knows,

0:22:21 > 0:22:25weapons of war have changed dramatically over 200 years.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28But the kukri has stayed the same.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34DISTANT SHOUTING

0:22:51 > 0:22:55One notable Gurkha hero was Havildar Gaje Ghale,

0:22:55 > 0:22:59a platoon sergeant in Burma in 1943.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02The official battle log said,

0:23:02 > 0:23:07"Hurling hand grenades covered in blood from his own neglected wounds,

0:23:07 > 0:23:11"he led assault after assault shouting the Gurkha's battle cry -

0:23:11 > 0:23:16"Glory be to the Goddess of War! Here come the Gurkhas!"

0:23:16 > 0:23:2013 Victoria Crosses have been issued to the Gurkhas so far,

0:23:20 > 0:23:24and 13 to their British Army officers, that's a total of 26.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26They have three here in the museum.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29The Victoria Cross is issued with a purple ribbon.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33It's cast from bronze from melted down captured Russian cannons

0:23:33 > 0:23:35from the Crimean War.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39On the face side, there's a relief of a lion standing over the crown.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41Underneath it says, "For valour".

0:23:41 > 0:23:47On the reverse, it's inscribed to the recipient with the date.

0:23:47 > 0:23:53They are only issued for conspicuous bravery in the face of the enemy.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57These ones are behind glass, for security reasons.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59They're highly valuable.

0:24:00 > 0:24:05'When the Indian army once challenged their toughness,

0:24:05 > 0:24:08'the Gurkhas threw the gauntlet down.

0:24:08 > 0:24:14'A treacherous hill race took place. Gurkhas won the first 33 places.'

0:24:14 > 0:24:18An annual race was established and, year after year, Gurkhas won this.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22It's a silver statue of a Gurkha in national costume,

0:24:22 > 0:24:25commonly known as The Little Man.

0:24:25 > 0:24:29The training and selection is almost as harsh as battle itself,

0:24:29 > 0:24:33but it's still the dream of many young Nepalese men.

0:24:33 > 0:24:37Each year, 20,000 compete for around 200 places.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41Modern-day Gurkhas still face a gruelling selection procedure

0:24:41 > 0:24:46of which the concluding part is running five kilometres uphill

0:24:46 > 0:24:51with a wicker basket on your back filled with rocks weighing 25kg!

0:24:51 > 0:24:56You have to achieve this in under 48 minutes, otherwise you're not in.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00One of the toughest battles for the Gurkhas

0:25:00 > 0:25:05in recent years has been with British red tape.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09Actress Joanna Lumley, whose father served with the 6th Gurkha Rifles,

0:25:09 > 0:25:14led a campaign which led to the Gurkhas and their families

0:25:14 > 0:25:16being allowed to live in the UK.

0:25:21 > 0:25:26For close on 200 years, Gurkhas have been a part of our armed forces,

0:25:26 > 0:25:29proving themselves again and again

0:25:29 > 0:25:33with their character, dedication and bravery.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38One Chief of Staff in the Indian army said of them,

0:25:38 > 0:25:44"If a man says he's not afraid of dying, he's either lying or he's a Gurkha."

0:25:50 > 0:25:55'Pretty Winchester is the proud host of Flog It! today at the Guildhall.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59'I'm doing all I can to bring in the crowds.'

0:25:59 > 0:26:02Why aren't you coming along to the Guildhall?

0:26:02 > 0:26:06Well, come along. OK? I'll pass you back to Dave. Bye bye.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Cheers, mate.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11You can always find a Flog It! fan, can't you?

0:26:11 > 0:26:14'Inside, James Lewis has found some boys' toys,

0:26:14 > 0:26:17'but they aren't really toys.'

0:26:18 > 0:26:22Phil, I hope you didn't carry these to the Guildhall.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26You did carry these to the Guildhall! In the boot of your car?

0:26:26 > 0:26:30- Or just open? - Initially, in the boot of my car.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32Then, fortunately, wrapped up.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36You're allowed to move them if they're wrapped up.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38So good move.

0:26:38 > 0:26:44Really, these are three parts of amazing military history.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46How did you come to have them?

0:26:46 > 0:26:50They were my father-in-law's, who had a substantial sword collection.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54So you've inherited them? They've probably been under the bed.

0:26:54 > 0:26:58- Well, they've been in the garage. - Have they?- Yes.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Well, let's start with this one.

0:27:00 > 0:27:05It's got a lovely triple-bar hilt. This is engraved and chased

0:27:05 > 0:27:10with foliate scrolls very much in the continental manner.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12If you look down the bottom there,

0:27:12 > 0:27:14"Devisme, Paris".

0:27:14 > 0:27:16So, a French hilt.

0:27:16 > 0:27:22Let's take it out completely from the scabbard.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25If we look at the blade, we've got a Toledo steel blade.

0:27:25 > 0:27:29All the best swords have Toledo blades.

0:27:29 > 0:27:33Look at the quality of that steel, like the day it was made.

0:27:33 > 0:27:37Pointed tip. Steel scabbard.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42And a sword made around 1870, 1880.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45Good thing.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48Come on to this one.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51This is a Scottish basket-hilt sword.

0:27:51 > 0:27:55- JAMES CHUCKLES - I'll be careful!

0:27:55 > 0:27:59The interesting thing is we've got a double fullered straight blade.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01It's an awful thing to say,

0:28:01 > 0:28:05but when you stab somebody with a sword, it causes a vacuum

0:28:05 > 0:28:09and you almost can't get it out, so these two little grooves

0:28:09 > 0:28:15allow you to twist and retract without it getting stuck.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17- Awful, isn't it?- Yes!

0:28:17 > 0:28:22If we have a look at the grip on this. Just feel that.

0:28:22 > 0:28:26It feels very rough. That's shagreen or shark's skin.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29Imagine you're going into battle.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32You're faced with the enemy looking mean as hell.

0:28:32 > 0:28:37- You'd get a bit sweaty.- Absolutely. - I mean, I'd turn tail and run!

0:28:37 > 0:28:41The shagreen stops your hand slipping on the grip.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43Very practical purpose.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46Again, steel scabbard.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49Two suspension rings.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53Again, a very popular sword.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55Finally, the pistol.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58This one, a flintlock.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01You would fire, pull the trigger, that would snap.

0:29:01 > 0:29:05That would shoot up in the air, the spark would hit the pan

0:29:05 > 0:29:08and fire the musket ball.

0:29:08 > 0:29:11- I guess you want to know what they're worth.- Absolutely.

0:29:11 > 0:29:15Let's start with the pistol. Nice lot.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18- We should put £300 to £500 on that one.- OK.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21The French sword, £300 to £400.

0:29:21 > 0:29:26And the Scottish sword with a basket hilt, £300 to £500 estimate.

0:29:26 > 0:29:30- I think you'll do very well. - Thank you.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33'Now, a Flog It! favourite, and it's not Moorcroft.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36'It's not Clarice Cliff. It's Carl!

0:29:36 > 0:29:42'Last time he was on the programme, Carl brought a Royal Doulton mouse

0:29:42 > 0:29:47'he'd bought for just £2, and it sold for a whopping £540!

0:29:47 > 0:29:49'So, can he top that?'

0:29:49 > 0:29:52- Carl, you're a Flog It! veteran. - Well...

0:29:52 > 0:29:54You keep coming up with the goods.

0:29:54 > 0:29:58You've brought this beautiful pair of Shelley vases in today.

0:29:58 > 0:30:03- Tell me where you got them. - I bought them at a car boot auction.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05- I paid 38.50.- All right.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08- What attracted you to them? - The shape and the colour.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12I agree. I thought, "What a beautiful pair of vases!

0:30:12 > 0:30:15"What a great colour!"

0:30:15 > 0:30:19This wonderful lustre is a rich peacock blue. Stunning.

0:30:19 > 0:30:24Also, the shape is very of its time, going towards the Art Deco period,

0:30:24 > 0:30:27where you start getting these wonderful lines.

0:30:27 > 0:30:31- How do we know that they're Shelley? - Mark on the bottom.

0:30:31 > 0:30:35There's a mark on the bottom! Here's the Shelley mark. Nice one there.

0:30:35 > 0:30:41That sort of mark dates them to the 1920s period.

0:30:41 > 0:30:46Which is fantastic. It's a nice early time in the Shelley factory.

0:30:46 > 0:30:50- We do have a slight problem, don't we?- We certainly do.

0:30:50 > 0:30:54I've done exactly the same thing. I've fallen in love with something.

0:30:54 > 0:30:58Then got it home and seen that there's been some damage.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00If we look down the vase there,

0:31:00 > 0:31:03you can see that scratch.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06On the outside, we've also got that scratch.

0:31:06 > 0:31:11- That tells us that is a crack. - It's gone right through.

0:31:11 > 0:31:17Almost the whole extent of that neck is what we would term damaged.

0:31:17 > 0:31:20But we will account for that in our estimate.

0:31:20 > 0:31:25- It might explain why they were so cheap.- Possibly.- Sadly!

0:31:25 > 0:31:29At auction, we're looking in the region of £30 to £50,

0:31:29 > 0:31:33with a reserve of 30, cos I want you to get back as much as we can.

0:31:33 > 0:31:39- Hopefully, two people will fall in love with them and they may go for more.- You never know.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41Thanks for bringing them in.

0:31:41 > 0:31:45'Christina's not expecting Carl to break any records.

0:31:45 > 0:31:50'Flog It's not just about making money. It's about making friends.'

0:31:50 > 0:31:53Hello. Hello. Thank you so much for turning up today.

0:31:53 > 0:31:57- What's your name?- Rosie May.

0:31:57 > 0:32:03- He's not for sale, is he?- No. - Wave to the camera, look.

0:32:03 > 0:32:08- What have you got there?- A piano! - Can I have a look at your piano?

0:32:08 > 0:32:10You can look at my piano!

0:32:10 > 0:32:14My grandparents bought it for me. It's just been in the loft.

0:32:14 > 0:32:18- The week they bought it was the week I quit.- Oh, no!

0:32:18 > 0:32:23- A short-lived musical career!- I love it. It didn't love me playing it.

0:32:23 > 0:32:27I tried the piano, but it didn't quite work.

0:32:27 > 0:32:32'After the swords, James was looking for something to get in touch with his feminine side.'

0:32:32 > 0:32:35Jennifer, have you raided the silver box?

0:32:35 > 0:32:38What a little collection!

0:32:38 > 0:32:43I've inherited them. They were my mother's. She was a seamstress.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45That's the thimbles!

0:32:45 > 0:32:49- The two boxes, I believe are French.- Yeah.

0:32:49 > 0:32:54- They came from a French lady that was friends with my mother.- OK.

0:32:54 > 0:32:58We'll start with the thimbles. We've got a real mix and match.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01Some of them, very standard. A pound or two each.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04We've got a couple that are better.

0:33:04 > 0:33:09That little chap there with the owl on the side. That's a nice one.

0:33:09 > 0:33:12Then we've got the gold one, which is the best.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15Not hallmarked, but still gold. £50 to £80.

0:33:15 > 0:33:20- Good heavens!- Then when it comes to the cigarette boxes.

0:33:20 > 0:33:25They're absolutely no good whatsoever for cigarettes today.

0:33:25 > 0:33:31The cigarettes are longer but they're also fatter.

0:33:31 > 0:33:34Most people use them for visiting cards.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37- Right.- Business cards. So they still have a use.

0:33:37 > 0:33:40- This one's a compact.- Oh!

0:33:40 > 0:33:42That's sweet, isn't it?

0:33:42 > 0:33:45Nice little thing. Good gift.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48So, both solid silver.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50- But not hallmarked.- No.

0:33:50 > 0:33:55- So legally, we have to call them silver-coloured metal.- Right.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58But still, they do have a value.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00These little folding fruit knives

0:34:00 > 0:34:05from the 19th century, mother of pearl handles,

0:34:05 > 0:34:07dating around 1880, 1890.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10A pencil there, but the nicest one is this one.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12- Oh, really?- Yeah.

0:34:12 > 0:34:17We've got a retracting and folding pencil

0:34:17 > 0:34:22that would have been suspended maybe from a watch Albert.

0:34:23 > 0:34:28That comes out. It's a really good, practical propelling pencil.

0:34:28 > 0:34:31The best way to sell them is as one group.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33So, let's say 200 to 300,

0:34:33 > 0:34:38as a whole group, and a reserve of 200 firm.

0:34:38 > 0:34:42- If it doesn't make that, take them home.- Take them home.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44- Is that all right?- Lovely.

0:34:45 > 0:34:49It looks like we've found our last item.

0:34:49 > 0:34:55Let's get straight over to the auction. Here are our experts to remind you what we're taking.

0:34:56 > 0:34:59These are three lots that really have seen history.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02I hope there's a good battle over them at the auction.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05I love these Shelley vases.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08I hope the damage doesn't put too many people off.

0:35:08 > 0:35:12Individually, a lot of these wouldn't be worth selling.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15Together, they make a good meaty lot.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18The secret will be in that gold thimble.

0:35:18 > 0:35:21It might make £100 over estimate.

0:35:21 > 0:35:25420. 450. 470. 500?

0:35:25 > 0:35:28'Our sale is at Andrew Smith & Sons.'

0:35:28 > 0:35:32Roll up! Roll up! Flog It! is in town, here at Itchen Stoke!

0:35:32 > 0:35:37'Our auctioneers are Nick Jarrett and Andrew Smith.

0:35:41 > 0:35:45'Buying at auction is fun, but you need to know what to invest in.

0:35:45 > 0:35:48'Today's hot property can be tomorrow's white elephant.'

0:35:48 > 0:35:53It's really peculiar how fashion dictates prices and values.

0:35:53 > 0:35:58Eight years ago, we were seeing bow-fronted corner cupboards

0:35:58 > 0:36:02catalogued in auction rooms for £800 to £1,200.

0:36:02 > 0:36:08This is pure quality. Regency period circa 1815, Cuban mahogany.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11Today, you'll be lucky if you get £300 for that.

0:36:11 > 0:36:14That's in A1 original condition.

0:36:14 > 0:36:19This one here, another bow-fronted corner cupboard, late 18th century,

0:36:19 > 0:36:24a little bit earlier, more provincial, made of oak.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26You'd be very lucky

0:36:26 > 0:36:28to get £150 for that today.

0:36:28 > 0:36:32It's going to get to the stage where you can buy these

0:36:32 > 0:36:36to put in the garage to put paint tins in, and that's a real shame.

0:36:36 > 0:36:41Problem is, nobody wants stuff like this in their house any more.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45But I bet in 15 years' time they will.

0:36:47 > 0:36:5030. 32. 35.

0:36:50 > 0:36:54'And I bet someone here now wants our next items.

0:36:54 > 0:37:00'Jennifer's silver has been split into two lots - the thimbles,

0:37:00 > 0:37:02'and the pen knives and compacts.'

0:37:02 > 0:37:06Hopefully, we'll get an all-time high because the melt value is high.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08Not that these will be melted.

0:37:08 > 0:37:12Silver is so popular, silver and gold, so sought after.

0:37:12 > 0:37:17- Lots of different pieces.- Exactly. There's something for everybody.

0:37:17 > 0:37:23I think this is a trade lot and the trade have been here buying. Here we go. This is it.

0:37:23 > 0:37:28The silver cigarette case. Start me at £100. 80 then?

0:37:28 > 0:37:30£80. Thank you. And five?

0:37:30 > 0:37:3290. And five. 100.

0:37:32 > 0:37:36- And ten. 120? 110 behind. - Now it's moving!

0:37:36 > 0:37:39120 on the net. £120 on the internet.

0:37:39 > 0:37:44At £120. Any more? All done? £120...

0:37:45 > 0:37:47One down, one to go.

0:37:47 > 0:37:52- The gold thimble... - This is the lot that'll make me go.

0:37:52 > 0:37:58Another nine in this lot. Lot 940. Start me at £100...

0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Ah!- My mum was a seamstress.

0:38:01 > 0:38:05£100 bid. Thank you. Is there ten? At £100.

0:38:05 > 0:38:07And selling. Is there ten?

0:38:07 > 0:38:10- Come on! - 120. 130.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Keep going. - 140?

0:38:12 > 0:38:17At £130 on the internet. Is there 140?

0:38:17 > 0:38:20- 140. You're out at the back. 150? - Come on.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23£140 in the room.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25Make it 150. Go on! One more!

0:38:25 > 0:38:29£140 for the very last time...

0:38:30 > 0:38:34- That was a good result. £260 in total.- I'm really pleased.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36- And you're not crying.- Don't!

0:38:36 > 0:38:40- I'm on the verge!- Nearly! - It's welling.

0:38:40 > 0:38:45'No crying, please. We like smiling faces on Flog It!

0:38:45 > 0:38:48'Here's another one - our Flog It! favourite, Carl,

0:38:48 > 0:38:50'with those Shelley vases.'

0:38:50 > 0:38:55Will Carl get his money back? We're about to find out. Good luck.

0:38:55 > 0:38:59- How much did you pay for them? - 36 plus commission.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02- That's about our valuation. - It's all the money, really.

0:39:02 > 0:39:05Bit of damage and condition always counts.

0:39:05 > 0:39:10- Provenance, condition and a good maker's name.- Exactly.- Here we go.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13The pair of Shelley blue lustre vases.

0:39:13 > 0:39:17Start me at £30 here? 20, if you like. £20 we have.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20And two? £20 and selling.

0:39:20 > 0:39:2222. 25. 27.

0:39:22 > 0:39:2530. 32. 35.

0:39:25 > 0:39:2837? 35 at the front. Is there seven?

0:39:28 > 0:39:33At £35. Any more? At £35, are you sure?

0:39:33 > 0:39:35- They've gone. - £35 for the very last time...

0:39:37 > 0:39:39- You got your money back.- Phew!

0:39:39 > 0:39:43ALL LAUGH

0:39:43 > 0:39:46- Well done, Carl. - Are you going out to buy more?

0:39:46 > 0:39:49It'll just pay me taxi fare here.

0:39:49 > 0:39:52CHRISTINA LAUGHS

0:39:52 > 0:39:56'Oh, well! Win some, lose some, Carl. Keep trying, though.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59'People like you keep the antiques trade alive.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01'Now, something we know will sell -

0:40:01 > 0:40:05'those two swords and duelling pistol belonging to Phil.'

0:40:05 > 0:40:08We're at the cutting edge now!

0:40:08 > 0:40:12- Why are you selling this?- To come and hear your bad jokes!- Yeah. No.

0:40:12 > 0:40:15- Seriously. - They belonged to my father-in-law.

0:40:15 > 0:40:19His idea was always that we use them for whatever we could do.

0:40:19 > 0:40:24- Sort out family fights!- They're a bit dangerous to keep in the garage.

0:40:24 > 0:40:28Let's see what this flintlock duelling pistol can do.

0:40:28 > 0:40:31The flintlock. Got a couple on it. 210 somewhere?

0:40:31 > 0:40:35At £200. 210. 220. 230.

0:40:35 > 0:40:38240. 250. 260.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40250, then. At 250...

0:40:40 > 0:40:44- Quick, wasn't it? £250.- Blimey! - Happy with that?- Yes.

0:40:44 > 0:40:47I don't really know the value of these things.

0:40:47 > 0:40:50'The swords are next, and tension is mounting.'

0:40:50 > 0:40:54- We're going to up the ante on both items.- Let's hope so.

0:40:54 > 0:40:57Here's the first of the swords right now.

0:40:57 > 0:41:01Scottish infantry officer's sword. I've got a few bids here again.

0:41:01 > 0:41:05To clear them all, I've got to start you at 320.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08340 can I say now?

0:41:08 > 0:41:11320 with me. 340, is it? 340. Thank you.

0:41:11 > 0:41:15360? At £340 in the room now. 340.

0:41:15 > 0:41:21360 is it on the net? No. At £340, then. In the room at 340.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23Anybody else? At 340...

0:41:23 > 0:41:26- Great.- Here's the next one.

0:41:26 > 0:41:30- The French infantry officer's sword. - I prefer the French one.- Do you?

0:41:30 > 0:41:35I'm going to start the bidding here at 260.

0:41:35 > 0:41:38- 280 can I say? - Good thing.

0:41:38 > 0:41:41280 in the room. I'm out at 280.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43£300 on the net. And 20?

0:41:43 > 0:41:46350? 370. 400.

0:41:46 > 0:41:51And 20. 450. 470. 500. And 20.

0:41:51 > 0:41:54- 550... - This is good, Phil.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57..600? And 20..?

0:41:57 > 0:42:00- Your wife's going to be pleased. - Lots of shoes!

0:42:00 > 0:42:04- I don't think that's the plan. - ..And 20? 750?

0:42:06 > 0:42:08780?

0:42:08 > 0:42:10750, then, on the net.

0:42:10 > 0:42:15780, back in. 800? £800 it is.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18And 20? 850? 870?

0:42:20 > 0:42:22No? At £850.

0:42:22 > 0:42:27- Interesting. - Any more? At 850 if you're done...

0:42:27 > 0:42:31I said we're at the cutting edge. A fabulous price!

0:42:31 > 0:42:34- Got to be happy with that.- Good day.

0:42:34 > 0:42:38- Absolutely.- A very good day out. - Well done.- Thank you.

0:42:38 > 0:42:43Your wife's there and we heard a whisper that it's going on shoes.

0:42:43 > 0:42:49No. We're going to stick it into our son's bank account. When he's older, he'll get the benefit.

0:42:49 > 0:42:54Good for you. Arms and militaria we don't see enough of.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57What a wonderful end to a great day here in Itchen Stoke.

0:42:57 > 0:43:03Join us again for many more surprises. Until then, from Winchester, goodbye.
