0:00:30 > 0:00:36Like many Lancashire towns, Oldham was all about textile and production in the 19th century.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40At the height of the industrial revolution, there were a whopping 360 mills here,
0:00:40 > 0:00:44making it the centre of cotton-spinning in the entire world.
0:00:44 > 0:00:50It doesn't have quite the same international status today but maybe we can put it back on the map.
0:00:50 > 0:00:56Just look at this big crowd who have turned out with their treasures and trophies for us to value,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59and Anita Manning and Kate Bliss are already hard at work.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Well, it's all quiet inside the Queen Elizabeth Hall right now,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09but any moment the doors are gonna be open
0:01:09 > 0:01:12and our crowd will flood through - I can hear them coming right now.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Here they come. There's lots of excitement and anticipation
0:01:15 > 0:01:19as the first few reach the Flog It! blue tablecloths.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I feel we're gonna be in for a very busy day.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Sheila, this is a very interesting little brooch.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40I think it's absolutely gorgeous.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43In fact I think it might just suit my jacket!
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Absolutely. It looks lovely, yes.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Can you tell me anything about it?
0:01:48 > 0:01:55- Where did you get it?- I actually got it in an adjacent town's car boot sale, within the last 12 months.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57It was just lying there on the stall.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Apparently there had been a lot of really good stuff
0:01:59 > 0:02:01They said, "You've missed it all."
0:02:01 > 0:02:04That was just there, it was £4.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05£4. That's not a lot of money.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Indeed, no.- Well, do you know where it comes from?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12No. I thought at first it might be Russian...
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Because of the enamel work?- Yes. - I can see where you're coming from.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21And then I looked at what's on the box and I thought, "That's not Russian", so... a bit puzzled.
0:02:21 > 0:02:27It's Scandinavian. It's Norwegian, and if we look on the back
0:02:27 > 0:02:32we can see the initials for Marius Hammer.
0:02:32 > 0:02:38We have an "M" and a little hammer and we have the mark "930",
0:02:38 > 0:02:41which is the silver mark.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44It's slightly better than sterling silver.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48The Norwegians and Swedish were wonderful with the enamelled work
0:02:48 > 0:02:53and this is representing that type of work. Have you ever worn it?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- No, it's a little bit too big for me, really...- It's a wee bit fanciful.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59And it's a little bit ostentatious.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- So a little fanciful for today's taste?- Yes.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06But at the same time it would be of interest to the collector
0:03:06 > 0:03:09and it is a collector who would buy this type of thing.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11What sort of date would it be?
0:03:11 > 0:03:17Well, it's early 20th century, up to maybe '20s or '30s,
0:03:17 > 0:03:21so the estimate I would put on it,
0:03:21 > 0:03:26considering that it's a very finely crafted piece...
0:03:26 > 0:03:28We have a maker's name,
0:03:28 > 0:03:34it's in the original box, and that type of thing is popular just now.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Taking all these factors into account,
0:03:37 > 0:03:42I would estimate it 80-120.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- Now, would you be happy to sell it at that price?- Yes.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I'd never wear it. I'd never wear it.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50So it was quite a good investment for £4!
0:03:50 > 0:03:52It certainly was, wasn't it?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Well, shall we put a reserve on it?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I think so, just to protect it.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00We'll put a reserve of £80, the lower estimate,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03and I'm sure it will do very well.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I find that enamelled and cloisonne works are doing very well just now.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Kevin, I've been itching to have a go with this all day!- Right.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Tell me, was this yours when you were a little boy?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Yes. My parents bought it for me when I was...
0:04:24 > 0:04:28in the '60s, probably, when I was about 12 years old.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33James Bond was around at the time and I liked James Bond, of course,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36and I liked cars, because I was a kid and so, yes.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39This must have been quite some present when you were 12 years old.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41It is the ultimate, isn't it?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Corgis came out in 1956, I think, released by Mettoy
0:04:45 > 0:04:52and became really very popular with young boys particularly, because of their moving parts.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56You could open the windows, they had things you could do with them,
0:04:56 > 0:05:00so of course they released a range relating to TV programmes and films.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05The DB5, 007's vehicle, in gold, was really quite something.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- It was.- So, talk me through all these moving bits
0:05:07 > 0:05:10because wasn't this really was the ultimate car?
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Right. I'll put the old glasses on... the age...
0:05:14 > 0:05:17You press the little exhaust pipes at the back
0:05:17 > 0:05:19and the bulletproof screen pops up
0:05:19 > 0:05:22then you press this little button here
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- and the machine guns and...- At the front.- ..look, they've come out.
0:05:26 > 0:05:32And then very carefully you press this one, and I'll just put my hand over because...
0:05:32 > 0:05:37- Oh, there he goes!- The roof pops up and a man comes out and there he is.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- That's brilliant.- There's your little bits.- And he would fly out if we let him, wouldn't he?
0:05:41 > 0:05:47He would. If you want to scrabble on the floor, you can make him fly out.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50But the downside for collectors with all these moving parts
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- was that things went missing so easily.- Yeah.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56And this little ejector man, not very big, would often fly out
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- and get lost and that would be the end of that.- That's right.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04But you have kept him, here he is, and...this is also the really exciting bit,
0:06:04 > 0:06:10we've got top secret-documents underneath, haven't we, because in the box we should have...
0:06:10 > 0:06:12the...
0:06:12 > 0:06:15instructions, and here we go.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17You've kept them. There they are. Look at that!
0:06:17 > 0:06:21They look as if they've hardly been touched, inside there.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23And inside there is a spare little man.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26I can feel him. There he is.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Excellent. So it's just as it should be. So, what about value?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I mean, as a collector yourself, do you have any idea?
0:06:32 > 0:06:37Not really, no, because I haven't got too many old toys
0:06:37 > 0:06:42and you can't get accurate valuations if you go around to some of the dealers
0:06:42 > 0:06:44because they want them for themselves.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Well, I'm gonna be conservative.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51I think is going to go well in our fine art sale for you,
0:06:51 > 0:06:56but I'm going to say roughly between £70 and £100.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I think if two people really want it for their collection,
0:06:58 > 0:07:04it could make more than that, but that sort of estimate is gonna tempt the buyers and it should do well.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- It's quite a few quid more than my mum and dad paid!- I bet it is!
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Barbara, it's a great example of a field telescope.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Tell me, what are you doing owning a wonderful scientific instrument like this?
0:07:26 > 0:07:31It's my father-in-law's. It were fetched back from the War...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Oh, really? He used it in the war? - Well, he must have, yes, I think so.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Gosh. He must have thought a lot of it to carry it all the way back,
0:07:37 > 0:07:42- because a lot of these just got left by the wayside. - Yes.- Where did he see action?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Well, he was all over, but I believe he came down at Norway...
0:07:46 > 0:07:51- He was shot down, was he? - Yes, and the Norwegian people looked after him,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53and then he came home after.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57It's a boy's toy, isn't it, really?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Yes.- And it actually does work, because I can just see there,
0:08:00 > 0:08:04I can check out the exit sign and it is crystal clear. Have you used this?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Oh, yes, we have used it a few times, but it's that heavy...
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- It is heavy, isn't it? - Yes, it's hard to use.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- If you're looking...- I'll use your shoulder as a tripod!
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Do you really want to sell this?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Yes.- Because there's a nice story, though.
0:08:19 > 0:08:25Oh, yes, but the children don't want it and it's just a shame being stuck in the cupboard really,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28so you know that's why I've fetched it along.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- Are you not gonna stargaze any more?- No, no, no.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Or check out the neighbours and see what's... a bit of curtain-twitching...!
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- "What's going on over there?"! - No, no, no.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40OK. Value-wise,
0:08:40 > 0:08:47the good news for you is it's signed, "Dallmeyer, London, 1915."
0:08:47 > 0:08:49The bad news is this...
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- One stress fracture in the brass. Can you see that?- Yes.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- It's about an inch long.- Yes. - That's a shame.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00That devalues it, because people that collect scientific instruments are purists, believe me.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Everything has to be accurate. They're very, very fussy collectors.
0:09:03 > 0:09:10I'd like to put it into auction with the typical auctioneer's cliche, 80-120. It's gonna sell for that.
0:09:10 > 0:09:16I was rather hoping this would do around the £160 mark cos it's a great London maker,
0:09:16 > 0:09:21- but unfortunately...- That little chip.- That stress in the brass...
0:09:22 > 0:09:24But I reckon we stand a chance of getting 80-120.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29- Right. That's fine.- I really do. I like it, and it's usable.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31It's great.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Hello, Lois.- Hello.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I've pounced on you this morning
0:09:41 > 0:09:43because I'm a bit of a sucker for baby plates,
0:09:43 > 0:09:47and you've got a really charming example with a matching little mug.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Where did these come from?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51It came from my aunt.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53When my son was born he was quite ill
0:09:53 > 0:09:57and my aunt was telling an old man that she looked after about him
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- and he gave her this cup and plate from my son.- What a lovely present!
0:10:01 > 0:10:04So, have you ever used them?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07No, no. It's just been wrapped up and put in the loft.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Right. Well, do you know anything about the design?
0:10:10 > 0:10:18No, just that people do collect the Mabel Lucie Attwells, that's all.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22That's right. Well, that's the name that we look for, actually,
0:10:22 > 0:10:27one of the names we look for, with baby plates and related wares.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29You're right, they've become quite collectable.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32In recent years, a whole market has opened up
0:10:32 > 0:10:35and there are two things that make them commercial.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Firstly the manufacturer of the porcelain or pottery,
0:10:39 > 0:10:41and secondly the design.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Now let's just have a look at the factory,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47and if we turn this over we can see we've got the name "Shelley" on the bottom here,
0:10:47 > 0:10:51so we know it's a very well-known British manufacturer.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56Shelley was well-known for producing a whole range of utilitarian wares,
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- and we can feel that this plate, as most are, is very heavy, isn't it? - Yes.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04It was made to last with toddlers throwing things around the place.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07This is pottery, but if we look at the matching mug,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09we can see this is quite fine, and it's made of porcelain.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14If I run my hands...hold it up to the light you can see my fingers through it
0:11:14 > 0:11:18and that's actually quite fine china, but let's look at the design,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21cos that's the other thing that makes these commercial.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22What do you think of it?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26It's really cute, and the little saying on it is really...
0:11:26 > 0:11:30It's lovely, isn't it? Very often we have nursery rhymes illustrated
0:11:30 > 0:11:32but here we have a little verse...
0:11:38 > 0:11:43Isn't that sweet? It's charming for any child, and what we've got here
0:11:43 > 0:11:46is a design that is probably taken from a children's book
0:11:46 > 0:11:51because Mabel Lucie Attwell was known
0:11:51 > 0:11:56in her time as a fantastic children's illustrator of books,
0:11:56 > 0:12:03and her designs were taken from the books and applied to children's wares being made at the time,
0:12:03 > 0:12:07and this probably has come from one of her annuals or one of her books.
0:12:07 > 0:12:13Well, one thing about your example, both the bowl here and the mug,
0:12:13 > 0:12:18I don't think, Lois, I've seen an example in such amazing condition.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23So often they were used and became, if they weren't chipped or cracked,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25then the transfer printing was scratched,
0:12:25 > 0:12:29and this is just as-new, and the little mug as well,
0:12:29 > 0:12:33so that is going to be really important for collectors and will help it, price-wise.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38I would put them obviously in the same lot, they're matching items,
0:12:38 > 0:12:42and probably a conservative value at auction, I would say, £30-£50.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Yes.- Does that sound good? - That sounds good.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49- Excellent. Well, I would hope that we get a very good price for you. - Yes, thank you.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53We've seen all kinds of goodies at the tables today
0:12:53 > 0:12:56and now it's time to whisk some items off to the saleroom.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00This stylish Norwegian brooch was going for a song at a car-boot sale,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03and could prove a real gem for Sheila.
0:13:03 > 0:13:09Kate's sure the James Bond car with all its gadgets will be licensed to thrill in the sale room.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10I see no ships
0:13:10 > 0:13:13but I hope a sharp-eyed dealer will spot this telescope
0:13:13 > 0:13:16with so much history attached to it,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19and can we tempt a doting parent to splash out
0:13:19 > 0:13:21on this Mabel Lucie Attwell plate and mug?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Let's find out.
0:13:25 > 0:13:31We've certainly got a roomful of bidders here at the Calder Valley Auction Rooms just outside Halifax
0:13:31 > 0:13:36- and let's hope they're all here to spend some money... Aren't you?- Yeah!
0:13:37 > 0:13:42And our man on the rostrum today is auctioneer Ian Peace.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Something that's just come out of the loft is Lois's little baby plate and mug,
0:13:48 > 0:13:54the Shelley, the little set, and someone that should know about baby plates and mugs is Kate here.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59Your little girl must be going through the terrible twos right now, is she?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Almost, almost! She's got attitude, I think.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Ooh! And another one on the way! - I know!
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- Fancy buying this one, then?- I wish I was allowed to! It is really...
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I had forgotten what super condition this is in.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15That's the one thing you don't see very often with baby plates.
0:14:15 > 0:14:22Surely it's got to do more than £30-£50? Kate, come on, let's pray for £60, £70.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26I would hope it would get top estimate, anyway, fingers crossed.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Lot number ten, this Shelley Mabel Lucie Attwell baby's plate and mug,
0:14:30 > 0:14:34very nice. £30 shall we say, 30, 20, 20 I'm bid, I'll go fives.
0:14:34 > 0:14:42At 20, at 20, and 25, 25, 30, and 5, 40 and 5, 50 and 5, 60.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45At £60. Any further bids at £60?
0:14:45 > 0:14:50- Not bad. Come on!- At £60... at £60 and 5, at 65, 70 and 5, 80...
0:14:50 > 0:14:53That's more like it, isn't it?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56£80. Are we done? £80.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57- Well done!- You were right!
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Well, done, but condition, condition, condition...
0:15:00 > 0:15:02that's what it's all about. So, £80.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06That's not bad, is it? What are you gonna spend that on, then?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Probably a meal out with my son.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Is he here today?- Yes, he is.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I can see why. You're dressed perfectly for a meal out.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16A slap-up lunch somewhere. Great result there.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I didn't think it would do that much, I have to say. It's a great result.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Yeah, it's brilliant, that.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Thanks very much. - They're here to buy.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Right now it's my turn and next up it's the four-draw telescope.
0:15:30 > 0:15:36Barbara, I've got my eye on you, and this lot! Hopefully they'll bid on this.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I'm feeling a little bit nervous, though.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Condition is against it, as we said on the day,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44but we've got a discretion of £60 and I'm sure it's gonna find a home.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47It's got to! It's real quality...
0:15:47 > 0:15:48he said!
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Brass and leather four-draw fold telescope, a London maker.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Do I get an opening bid of £50?
0:15:55 > 0:15:5840 anywhere, £40 for the telescope?
0:15:58 > 0:16:0440 I have there. £40. £40 and 5, at £45, at £50, £55.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Anybody else now at £55?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10It's a named telescope, a London maker, at £55.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Any further bids at 55?
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Are we all done at £55? Going to sell at 55.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Are there any further advances?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21At £55 then...
0:16:21 > 0:16:27He did sell it. Yeah, £60 discretion we had, so he's used it. We just,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29just got that away!
0:16:31 > 0:16:33That was close, that was really close!
0:16:36 > 0:16:43- Well, it sold! - We were one pound in our limit for our 10% discretion on £60.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- I'm sorry it didn't get the top end but we got it away, didn't we? - Yes.- Just...
0:16:47 > 0:16:54Right, are we connected? 5, 30, 40 and 5, 50 and 5.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Anyone fancy an Aston Martin DB5?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00You gotta be right here right now for this one.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03It belongs to Kevin, not for much longer.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07We've got a valuation of £70-£100. Why are you flogging this?
0:17:07 > 0:17:12Nobody to leave it to. Maybe it should be somebody else's memory now.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Yeah. A collector will buy this one, and pay top money for it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21It's one owner, very low mileage!
0:17:21 > 0:17:26757, a boxed Corgi toy, James Bond Aston Martin DB5.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30It's got its instructions, its driver, it's all there.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33What am I bid for 757, ladies and gentlemen?
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Open me at £50, £50, 40 then, 40 I'm bid.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Thank you. £40.- Oh, gosh! Come on!
0:17:41 > 0:17:45And 5, 50 and 5, 55, 60, and 5.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49At £65, 70 at £70. Anybody else?
0:17:49 > 0:17:5675, sir, 80 and 5, 90 and 5, 100.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58£100 I'm bid. Anybody else?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01£100. It's all there. At £100.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04At £100 front row...
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- Gosh, Kate, you were right! - The market has changed.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Well, yeah, but I do think someone's got a bargain.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- I do too, yeah.- I really do.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Never mind. I mean, for a car like that, in that sort of condition
0:18:18 > 0:18:24needs a specialist toy sale, then you've got a worldwide market, but you're right, 100 quid.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Well, it's a couple more diecasts!
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Sheila, hopefully we'll make you lots of money right now...
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- A million!- It's a packed room. I don't know about that!
0:18:42 > 0:18:46This is a 20th-century brooch, it's definitely worth £80-£120.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- How much did you pay for it? - I paid four, I think.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Well done!
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Where are these car-boot sales?
0:18:53 > 0:18:58Well, I think it was a lady not really knowing what she was selling, you know,
0:18:58 > 0:19:02because I'd missed most of the stuff at the stall and that had been left behind.
0:19:02 > 0:19:08A lot of people don't know the value of 20th-century modern, and it's really making big money right now.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Are you an every-sort-of-weekend car booter, or just sort of a fair-weather one?
0:19:13 > 0:19:14A fair-weather one.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- You've gotta be hard as nails, haven't you, to get up very early in the morning?- Yeah.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- Do you do boot sales at all?- No, no.
0:19:22 > 0:19:28- They see you coming, don't they? They wouldn't sell to Anita!- I'm too busy standing at a rostrum!
0:19:28 > 0:19:32731, a cased silver and enamel brooch by Maris Hammer,
0:19:32 > 0:19:35with filigree jots. There we are,
0:19:35 > 0:19:37original case. What am I bid for this?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Shall we say 100, 80, 50, £50?
0:19:40 > 0:19:4650 I'm bid there, £50, 60, and 70, at 80, 90,
0:19:46 > 0:19:54100 and 10, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57£180 I'm bid.
0:19:57 > 0:20:03At £180 on my left there, at £180. Are we all done?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05180...
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Yes! £180! You see!
0:20:09 > 0:20:12A lot of people don't know the value of 20th-century modern.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- It's like darts! 180! - You didn't think it would sell?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Oh, I didn't, did I?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Oh, ye of little faith!
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Right now it's time for a trip down memory lane,
0:20:28 > 0:20:32to a police station in the heart of Manchester where time has stood still.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36These cells and courtroom have seen plenty of action in the past 100 years
0:20:36 > 0:20:42and they're about to see a bit more action right now, with a character you just might recognise.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52MUSIC: Theme from "Dixon Of Dock Green".
0:21:05 > 0:21:10Working the beat, you know, is very funny sometimes,
0:21:10 > 0:21:15and my inspector only recently he arrested a man
0:21:15 > 0:21:18who was a very dodgy character.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Listen, there's some misunderstanding.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- We can work this out. - You've had your say.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26It's my turn now. Sergeant, Policewoman 1 and I
0:21:26 > 0:21:31were on three beat outside the Queen Elizabeth Hall when I saw this man acting suspiciously.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- I wasn't acting suspiciously. - No, let me get my say in.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38He's got a sack, he's got items in here which are valuable, and when I questioned him about them,
0:21:38 > 0:21:43- he said, "People have given them to me".- I've heard a lot of fairy tales
0:21:43 > 0:21:48- in my career, but that is a load of rubbish.- It's not.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53People giving you their ancient antiques. How much is that worth?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Well, the pair, possibly around £200-£300.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59They're not gonna give you stuff like that.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Well, they trust me! I'm with the BBC.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Well, I don't trust you. What's your name?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Don't laugh at me!
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Stand up straight as well, leaning all over the counter.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Listen, it's been a long day.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Yes, it has for me, too. - People are waiting for me...
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- And it's gonna be a long night for you now. - Why? What do you mean by that?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20You're gonna stay in the cells until the morning, then it's straight to court.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25- No, you've got this all wrong, I tell you.- Put him in cell number 1, please.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Listen, listen, this is a complete mistake!
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- ..to the officer.- This is not right.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32You've got this all wrong...
0:22:34 > 0:22:39This is Flog It!, not Dixon Of Dock Green. Let me use the phone...
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- HE SIGHS - Let me out!
0:22:44 > 0:22:46'If you can't stand the suspense,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49'you can find out what happens when I come up before the beak
0:22:49 > 0:22:53'a little later on, but what I'm really doing here at the Greater Manchester Police Museum
0:22:53 > 0:23:01'is finding out more about crime and punishment in the city since this station was built in 1879.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04'Back then, there was a great deal of poverty in Manchester.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09'The main crimes at the time were theft, fighting and being drunk and disorderly.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13'In that year, a staggering 23,000 people were arrested or summonsed
0:23:13 > 0:23:19'by Manchester Police, almost 5% of the city's population.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21'So the police were kept pretty busy,
0:23:21 > 0:23:25'but now I'm going to get my own back on my arresting officer
0:23:25 > 0:23:31'and interrogate Dennis Wood who joined the force here in 1950.'
0:23:31 > 0:23:34So, paint the picture. What was it like back then when you first started?
0:23:34 > 0:23:40Well, it hadn't changed much from very early Victorian times in that we were all on beats
0:23:40 > 0:23:46walking about small areas with lots of policemen all over the place.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49All the criminals used to complain there were too many of us
0:23:49 > 0:23:53and they couldn't get round the corner without being knocked off.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57But what about back in Victorian England in the 1870s, what was going on then?
0:23:57 > 0:24:03If you think about this station and its position in 1879,
0:24:03 > 0:24:09over my shoulder here were warehouses and office blocks and banks,
0:24:09 > 0:24:16in other words all the things you would find in a highly commercial city like Manchester.
0:24:16 > 0:24:22For about two miles as a belt around the city
0:24:22 > 0:24:29were hovels of houses, only one up and one down when some of them had 20 souls living in them.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34Most of them were thieves and prostitutes and certainly drunkards
0:24:34 > 0:24:40and this place became a bastion between that and a warring tribe
0:24:40 > 0:24:46who every day used to come across into this city, stealing and boozing
0:24:46 > 0:24:50and there was a lot of pickpocketing going on in those days.
0:24:50 > 0:24:59Lots of businessmen were about and they tended to wear gold guard watches in their waistcoat
0:24:59 > 0:25:05and the women were very adept at coming behind them and lifting those out, and off they went with them.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09There were gangs about, of course, just as there are today.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13They didn't have guns, but they used to garrotte people.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17They used to pass a rope around their throat from behind
0:25:17 > 0:25:24and squeeze until the person gave up all his valuables, so it was just, in a way,
0:25:24 > 0:25:29as precarious to be out at night in the city in those days,
0:25:29 > 0:25:32in the early days of the police station, as it is today.
0:25:49 > 0:25:56Well, we're absolutely surrounded by so much police memorabilia, and it is so collectable nowadays.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Talk me through some of the items that would have been used during Victorian England,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04right up to the time when you left the services.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09Yes, well these items were used right through Victorian times
0:26:09 > 0:26:17- and in my service, probably till about 1970, or later. - The truncheon hasn't changed much.
0:26:17 > 0:26:23That was the truncheon, or the staff, or the lie detector as they used to call it,
0:26:23 > 0:26:29and that went down a long pocket in the trousers, right to the bottom, down there.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34- It just left that strap in view. - And you would have used this, yes?
0:26:34 > 0:26:39Well, yes, if required, but the only thing is, if you use it,
0:26:39 > 0:26:45you've only got one hand free, but if it was a serious matter where somebody was threatening...
0:26:45 > 0:26:46With a knife or something...
0:26:46 > 0:26:53Then I would let my thumb drip down into the leather strap there, and out it would come
0:26:53 > 0:26:57and it would all be wrapped up so that nobody could take it off me,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00because there was always that danger that somebody might.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- Quick off the draw, that! - Oh, yes!- Had a lot of practice? - Like a Wild West sheriff.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08So that was the truncheon.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Then everybody had a whistle and if you were in any trouble...
0:27:12 > 0:27:17- of course in the absence of radios, then you would blow that... - WAVERING WHISTLE
0:27:17 > 0:27:24..much louder, and officers on the adjoining beat would hear and allegedly come rushing to your help,
0:27:24 > 0:27:30but very often they would peep round the corner, see the situation and sneak off into the dark somewhere.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33They wouldn't, would they(?) They'd run to your aid!
0:27:33 > 0:27:38- Lots of handcuffs.- Handcuffs weren't used by police officers on their beats.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40They were quite good and strong
0:27:40 > 0:27:47but really only for use when you already had somebody in custody.
0:27:47 > 0:27:53If you only had that, and you captured a burglar and he was struggling to get away...
0:27:53 > 0:27:55You couldn't get those on him.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58No, you'd have to ask him if he wouldn't mind waiting.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00So what would you do if you caught a burglar quickly?
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Well, if you needed to at all, you had these things, with snaps,
0:28:04 > 0:28:11and those went onto the man's wrist and you were able to twist his arm right up behind his head.
0:28:11 > 0:28:18And those two little fellows were digging into a mass of nerves and little bones.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22- Well, it's a good job I wasn't marched in with that on.- Yes!
0:28:22 > 0:28:24'All rise.'
0:28:32 > 0:28:39This is Paul Martin, who was found in possession of a collection of antiques, your Worship.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Thank you, Mr Davenport.
0:28:41 > 0:28:46Mr Martin, would you like to tell the court what you propose to do with this collection of antiques?
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Yes, your Honour.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51It was my intention to flog it.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57Well, it turns out in the end that Mr Martin was in fact genuine,
0:28:57 > 0:29:02and he was selling antiques on behalf of other people.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04It only goes to show
0:29:04 > 0:29:09that you can never judge a book by its cover.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Good evening, all.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Well, I think I just about got away with that one!
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Now let's see how things are going back at the valuation day.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29Gary, this is a very sweet little item.
0:29:29 > 0:29:34Now when I was outside and I passed you in the queue, what did you say to me?
0:29:34 > 0:29:38I told you I wasn't getting down on one knee when I showed it you!
0:29:38 > 0:29:42Well, I'm very glad that you did show it to me. I like it a lot.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44What we have here
0:29:46 > 0:29:49is a little Victorian mourning ring.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53It's in 18-carat gold, so it's a high-carat gold
0:29:53 > 0:30:01and we have some very beautiful enamel work round the band with gold lettering, "In memory of..."
0:30:01 > 0:30:06and we if we look at the inside we can see the hallmarks for 18-carat gold.
0:30:06 > 0:30:14As well as the hallmark, we have an inscription which tells us a little more about it.
0:30:14 > 0:30:19Now this ring is in memory of Tim Smith
0:30:19 > 0:30:26and this type of thing was worn by, say, widows or whatever
0:30:26 > 0:30:31and behind this little glass panel at the front here we have a little piece of hair.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Tell me, where did you get it?
0:30:33 > 0:30:36I bought it off the Internet for a present for my wife.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Aah! How much did you pay for it?
0:30:39 > 0:30:40- About £50.- Aha.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42And did your wife like it?
0:30:42 > 0:30:47No. She said it was a bit creepy because it had the man's hair in it!
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Well, this is very interesting.
0:30:49 > 0:30:58- I think that £50 is a very small price to pay for something of that quality...- Oh, yeah?
0:30:58 > 0:31:02If you had to buy the equivalent quality in 18-carat gold today,
0:31:02 > 0:31:04you'd be paying a lot of money.
0:31:04 > 0:31:12But the thing is, people are slightly worried about the mourning aspect of it.
0:31:12 > 0:31:18Now, in Victorian times, after the death of Queen Victoria's husband, Albert,
0:31:18 > 0:31:25mourning became very fashionable and they're highly collectable just now.
0:31:25 > 0:31:31- I'd like to put it into auction, say between £50 and £80.- Yeah.
0:31:31 > 0:31:38We may make your money back, but I think if you really do want to get rid of it,
0:31:38 > 0:31:41I'd like to get the reserve down to about £40-£45.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- Yeah, that would be fine. - Would that it be OK?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- So, your wife doesn't like it?- No.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48She's told you to get rid of it?
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- Yep.- You've brought it to me...
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- Yeah.- And we're gonna flog it!
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Freda, I love little leather cases and leather boxes.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- You never quite know what you're going to find inside. What have we here?- Two miniatures...
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- a lady and a man. - Let's have a little look.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Let's open them up...
0:32:13 > 0:32:17and see. Ah, yes. Well, they certainly look like a pair,
0:32:17 > 0:32:22they're mounted in matching Moroccan leather cases, beautifully.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23Where do they come from?
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Well, We bought them off David Dickinson at Dickinson's Galleries in Manchester.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Did you really? My husband did.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32He bought them as a present for me because I like miniatures,
0:32:32 > 0:32:36- so we've had them 25 years at least, I should say.- Gosh.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Have you got a collection of miniatures?
0:32:38 > 0:32:43- These are the only two.- But he knew you particularly liked them?- Yeah.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45I like anything really small...
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I particularly like miniatures, but I've just got the two.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49Let's have a closer look.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54We can tell quite a bit about costume, the lady particularly.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59It really is quite flamboyant, I would say quite Bohemian...
0:32:59 > 0:33:03- Yeah, quite sort of...- Theatrical... - Sort of oriental?- Yes, almost.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07It has got that sort of oriental influence, hasn't it? Certainly the Paisley design shawl.
0:33:07 > 0:33:12They look to me to be certainly early 19th-century in date.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14If you look at these lovely pendant earrings,
0:33:14 > 0:33:18they would suggest almost Regency period, early 19th century,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- and it's almost got a Turkish look about it, hasn't it?- Definitely.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26That headgear and really rich materials and colours used...
0:33:26 > 0:33:30- They're lovely colours.- That blue is particularly nice.- It is.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Let's look at the gentleman, the pair to her, if you like.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- He's quite conservative in comparison...- Yes.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39..in his blue velvet jacket.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42But the face, again, is really nicely painted,
0:33:42 > 0:33:46the detail of his mouth and his complexion,
0:33:46 > 0:33:51beautifully done and set off against this lovely plum-coloured velvet.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Can you remember what your husband paid for them all that time ago?
0:33:54 > 0:33:58I've actually got the receipt, but unfortunately forgot to bring it.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- Right.- I know they were £75 each..
0:34:01 > 0:34:02- Right...- ..then, you know.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05That's quite a lot of money 25 years ago.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Well, I didn't realise until...
0:34:07 > 0:34:09a couple of days ago that that's what he paid for them,
0:34:09 > 0:34:12because he gave me the receipt, which I hadn't seen before.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16- Well, I can't tell you that they've gone up hugely...- No, no...
0:34:16 > 0:34:22..in value over that time, but the market for miniatures is still very buoyant
0:34:22 > 0:34:24and these are certainly commercial,
0:34:24 > 0:34:26particularly our theatrical lady here.
0:34:26 > 0:34:32- I would like to think that you ought to get £200-£300 at auction for the pair.- Lovely.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34They ought to make £100 each.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38- I'm gonna be cautious and put an estimate of £150-£250 on them.- Yes.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42- That will draw the buyers, if you're happy with that...- Yes, I am.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44I certainly think they should make £200...
0:34:44 > 0:34:48- That would be nice.- If you're happy, we could put a reserve at £150... - Yes, please.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52So you won't lose any money, certainly, that's a safety net.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- I won't lose anything... they were a present!- No, exactly!
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Marian, I am always delighted
0:35:04 > 0:35:09to have some Royal Worcester on Flog It!
0:35:09 > 0:35:15I think that it's a wonderful factory, started in the 1720s,
0:35:15 > 0:35:20always made the best of porcelain,
0:35:20 > 0:35:25noted for its skilled craftsmanship
0:35:25 > 0:35:29and these little figures are a wonderful example of that.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Do YOU like them, Marian?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Not particularly.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36I know they're...
0:35:36 > 0:35:39in their own way they're nice, but they're not my style.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Where did you get them? - They were a gift, a thank-you.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44How long have you had them?
0:35:44 > 0:35:50Seven years, about seven to eight years I've had them, and I've never had them on show.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52I called them John and Mary
0:35:52 > 0:35:55and then I wrapped them up in a towel and put them in a suitcase.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Poor wee John and Mary!
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Let's have a look at them a wee bit closer.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Now we have a boy and girl figure here.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08If we look, the underneath of the figure will tell us quite a lot.
0:36:08 > 0:36:14We see the Worcester mark here, and this little "A"
0:36:14 > 0:36:20tells us that these figures were made in 1890.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24This set of figures here...1388...
0:36:24 > 0:36:28tells us that this was the pattern number
0:36:28 > 0:36:36and we have the registration mark on the bottom so we've got quite a lot of information on the base.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41And the other good thing, we have the modeller's signature on these,
0:36:41 > 0:36:49and he was Hadley, one of the better-known Worcester modellers.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51The style is...
0:36:51 > 0:36:58it's in the style of Kate Greenaway and the effect is a blush ivory.
0:36:58 > 0:37:04So we have got quite a lot here in these two little figures.
0:37:04 > 0:37:10I would estimate them in the region of £300-£500.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Would you be happy to sell them at that?
0:37:12 > 0:37:17- Yeah, yeah, I would, yeah.- Well, let's get them along to the auction.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20I'm sure they'll be very well fancied.
0:37:20 > 0:37:26I hope my estimate is very conservative and they will do much better.
0:37:26 > 0:37:32We'll put a reserve of £300 on them just to protect them, but I'm sure they will sail away at that.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36We're off to the saleroom again, and looking for joy,
0:37:36 > 0:37:40not tears, when Gary's mourning ring goes under the hammer.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44Let's hope it's more popular with the bidders than it was with his wife!
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Small is beautiful, but we're hoping for big things
0:37:47 > 0:37:50from the charming miniatures brought in by Freda,
0:37:50 > 0:37:52and finally, the Royal Worcester figures
0:37:52 > 0:37:55which have a quaint, old-fashioned charm
0:37:55 > 0:37:58and are still very popular with collectors.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03- Poor old Gary! He went out to buy his wife a ring, as a surprise, didn't you?- Yep.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04£50 it cost you.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09A Victorian mourning ring, which is just about to go under the hammer.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12You took it home to your wife as a lovely surprise and she went,
0:38:12 > 0:38:17- "Gary, I'm not wearing that!" Isn't that awful!- I know!
0:38:17 > 0:38:20We get such a tough time for not surprising our wives
0:38:20 > 0:38:23and treating them, and when you do, what happens?
0:38:23 > 0:38:26You just get told off.
0:38:26 > 0:38:31"Flog it", she said, "flog it", so hopefully we've got to get £50 back.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35It is so cheap, Paul, but this is a ring that will probably become
0:38:35 > 0:38:38part of a collection rather than wearing...
0:38:38 > 0:38:44People are a wee bit wary of wearing what...mourning rings!
0:38:44 > 0:38:51- What you'd like to say is "dead people's rings"!- Yes, but I mean it is a bargain for £50
0:38:51 > 0:38:55because it's 18-carat gold, and it's in mint condition.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59562, the Victorian hallmarked 18-carat gold mourning ring.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03What am I bid on this? £50, 40, 30 to open?
0:39:03 > 0:39:0820, thank you. £20 and 5, and 25, 30, £30 and 5,
0:39:08 > 0:39:16at £35, at 35, and 40 here and 5. At 45 over there, at £45.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Any further bids? 50, well done.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- Yeah.- And 5....
0:39:20 > 0:39:23At £55 at the back of the room.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25£55. Are you done?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- Yes, we did it. £55. - Good, good, good.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Less a bit of commission, that does give you your money back.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33You know what they say, don't you?
0:39:33 > 0:39:34It's the thought that counts!
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- Oh, yeah!- Did you remind her? - I kept quiet.- What's her name?
0:39:37 > 0:39:40- Caroline.- Caroline! Ohhh!
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- I kept quiet.- What are you gonna do with this money now?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45- Give it to the boss at home. - Give it to the boss!
0:39:51 > 0:39:55This is a cracking lot. It belongs to Freda, and not for much longer.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Two lovely little miniatures, painted on ivory.
0:39:58 > 0:40:04Let's hope we get the top end, sort of £200, I'd like to see. They're quality, Kate.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06They are quality. I hope we'll get there.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10I think it's the lady that's really going to attract buyers, yeah.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Ladies always do. You don't like portraits of gentlemen.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16We've got the pair of 19th-century oval watercolour miniatures,
0:40:16 > 0:40:20portraits of a young lady and gentleman in leather cases,
0:40:20 > 0:40:22very clean. 705 is the lot.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Right, shall we say £100 to open the bidding? 100.
0:40:25 > 0:40:34£100, thank you, £100, 110, 120, 130, 140 there, 140, 150, at £150.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37At 150, the gentleman in the back there. £150.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42Any further bids? At £150 they are in market
0:40:42 > 0:40:46and selling at £150 then, first and last time...
0:40:47 > 0:40:49We've done it! We've done it, just.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51- 150.- Yeah.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Brave punt. That was a good move.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Good valuation as well, but you wanted to sell them, didn't you?
0:40:56 > 0:41:02- Well, I did, yeah. I did.- You did... - I just, you know, for the fun of it, really.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- So you're happy, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06What will you spend £150 on, less commission?
0:41:06 > 0:41:09I might get a little bit of jewellery, something I can look at.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22I've been waiting for this moment for a good month now. I bet you have, as well.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Two Royal Worcester figures. We've got £300-£500.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Is that the right figure? Well, we're gonna find out.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31I had a chat to Ian before the sale.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34He didn't want to stick his neck on the block, you know?
0:41:34 > 0:41:38He said, "I don't know if there's been much interest." He was playing it quite cagey.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42I've seen them on the show before, lots of times, haven't we?
0:41:42 > 0:41:43Condition, fantastic.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Well, everything is going for these little figures.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Well, not all that little... they're a fair size.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- They're a good size. - Principal maker of Worcester, Kate Greenaway style...
0:41:53 > 0:41:57people love that type of thing. I think they should do well.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Pair of Royal Worcester porcelain figures, boy and girl.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04549. Very pretty. What am I bid on these? Open me at 300.
0:42:04 > 0:42:10200 then. £200 I am bid there, £200. At £200, at 200...
0:42:10 > 0:42:14At 210, 220, 230, 240, 250.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18At £250, 260, 270...
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Come on, come on, come on. We need 300...
0:42:21 > 0:42:26At 290. At £300, 310,
0:42:26 > 0:42:36320, 330, 340, 350, 360, 370, 380, 390, 400, and 10.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38£410 over there. At £410.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Any further advances?
0:42:40 > 0:42:43At £410 then, they're going...
0:42:44 > 0:42:47- Yes! - Fantastic! Spot-on estimate, Anita.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51- Thank you, Paul. - Right in the middle there. £410.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52Yes. That's wonderful.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56- That's brilliant, isn't it?- Are you happy?- I am, yeah. Thank you.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00Well, thank you so much for coming in, and treat yourself, like Anita said.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04- Treat yourself, pamper yourself. - You deserve it!- I do!
0:43:07 > 0:43:08Well, that's it...
0:43:08 > 0:43:11it's all over, the auction is finished, the room's emptying.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13This lot are the lucky ones,
0:43:13 > 0:43:16paying for all the items they've just purchased.
0:43:16 > 0:43:21We've had a fun day here in West Yorkshire and I hope you've enjoyed watching today's show,
0:43:21 > 0:43:23so until the next time, it's cheerio.
