0:00:06 > 0:00:12Today we are in the very picturesque market town of Richmond in North Yorkshire and over the years
0:00:12 > 0:00:14this place has certainly seen a lot of history.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Roman, Norman, medieval, Georgian and judging by today,
0:00:18 > 0:00:22look at all these cars, a very popular tourist destination.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24It's also our destination for Flog It!
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Richmond grew up around the Norman castle which dominates the town.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55And the area that we're filming in today,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58where our massive crowd is gathering, is the market place.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01There would have been stocks housed here to punish the wrongdoers.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03So let's hope this lot behaves themselves.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07They've all come to ask the important question, what's it worth?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10And when you've found out what are you going to do? Flog it! Yeah.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12And what a Flog It! we've got for you today.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Paula's got an interesting laugh. - She's got a very interesting laugh.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18PAULA LAUGHS
0:01:18 > 0:01:23There you go. Beverley and Philip, why do you look familiar?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- He loves you.- I love him too.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29He loves you, don't you? Ah, give me a kiss.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Give me a lick, yeah.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Ah, good boy.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36We've got a team of experts ready to go and they're headed up
0:01:36 > 0:01:40by two Flog It! favourites here at the market hall.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Adam Partridge has always been a bit of an entrepreneur. As a young lad,
0:01:44 > 0:01:48he collected rainwater and sold it to the neighbours for gardening.
0:01:50 > 0:01:56You can see he's a little bit more grown-up these days, which is a good job as he runs his own saleroom.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59And you, what have we got, anything exciting?
0:01:59 > 0:02:04As does James Lewis whose speciality is furniture and pictures of all types.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Specialities are not the name of the game, though, as our experts
0:02:07 > 0:02:11value everything that comes through the doors.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20There was such a massive queue outside, but right now at the very end of this CUE...
0:02:20 > 0:02:22is going to be our expert Adam Partridge.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26It's game on for him and he is going to tell Chris and Craig exactly what this is worth.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Morning, chaps. How are you doing?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Fine, thank you.- You're, um...?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Craig.- Craig and...?- Chris.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- And I am guessing father and son? - Yes.- There's a resemblance.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Now, then, what's the story about this billiard table here?
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Well, it used to be my great-grandfather's. He bought it.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50And then it's been passed down through the family to my grandda, to my dad and now to me.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- All the way through, so four generations?- Yeah.- Gosh.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56The sad thing is that you're selling it, isn't it?
0:02:56 > 0:03:01It's taking up a lot of room and it doesn't get played as often as we'd like and things.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07The firm of Riley's is a major billiard and snooker firm started at the end of the 19th century.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09They really went very well and, by 1910, I believe
0:03:09 > 0:03:13they were making 4,000 of these so-called portable models every year.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15So they're not particularly rare.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18But it just gives you an indication about how large that firm was.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- This is a properly-made thing.- Yes.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Real mahogany, a slate bed, heavy as anything.- It is.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29So you've got the original scoreboard here, it looks like a 1930s' period really, I think.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31D'you know when it was bought?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33We think around 70-75, 80 years ago.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- So 1935 or so?- Yeah.- '30s, '35.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40That ties in with the look of it.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43And have you had to have any repair or...?
0:03:43 > 0:03:49- I think we've had the felt on the top been redone, but that's about it really.- That is about it.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53That was professionally done by Riley's about 10 years ago.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Are they sadly closed now?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Yeah.- They've gone out of business, haven't they?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Probably soon after they did this. I'm sure the two aren't connected.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I think it was about 2002 they went out of business.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04So you got your scorer,
0:04:04 > 0:04:08you've got a variety of cues and the bridge there.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10And you've got your balls somewhere?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Not the original ones, but we have some pool balls, yeah.- OK.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16You brought them. They'll go in the sale as well?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Yeah.- Now, what sort of value expectations do you have?
0:04:20 > 0:04:25- Somewhere between sort of one and two hundred, something like that. - Very sharp, this young man.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29We should put a reserve on because I don't want you thinking, "It's gone for 60 quid,"
0:04:29 > 0:04:31or something and you're thinking, "We should have kept it."
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- So would you think 100 would be a sensible figure?- Yeah.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Anything less than three figures just isn't good enough.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- Yeah, it just wouldn't be worth it. - No, I agree with you.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43So let's hope it goes successfully at the auction.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Thanks for bringing it along. - No problem.- Thank you.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50And now we're going from something extremely heavy to something a little lighter.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53And excitingly it's from Cornwall which is my neck of the woods.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56This is Reggie and he loves Newlyn copper.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Well, his owner does, Christine, anyway.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Christine, thank you so much for coming in today.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05- I know Reggie is a special dog, he's a hearing dog, isn't he?- Yes. - Because you are deaf.- Yes.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09So he helps you out, he can hear the telephone, can he?
0:05:09 > 0:05:13He does. And he can hear the oven timer go,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15he wakes me up in the morning by jumping on me
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- when the alarm clock goes off. - Oh, bless.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20He tells me when the smoke or the fire alarm goes off
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- and that's a life-saver, potentially.- Yes, it is.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24How long have you had him?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- I've had him for two years. - He's so special.
0:05:26 > 0:05:32Well, tell me how long have you had this piece of Newlyn copper then?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Well, my father passed it over to me about 15 years ago.
0:05:35 > 0:05:41But it came from my grandmother who lived in Newlyn and kept a lodging house.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- Did she?- She was taking in artists.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Some of my other relatives have got paintings from the Newlyn School,
0:05:49 > 0:05:53but I inherited the inkwell.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55It's beautiful, isn't it? It is beautiful.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I want to handle it.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I'm so excited, can I put Reggie down?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Absolutely. Yes. - Do you want to hold him?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- I'll hold him.- OK. Because he's got to see what's going on.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Oh, come to Mama.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09There. I've got his lead.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Well, this whole thing started with John Drew MacKenzie,
0:06:13 > 0:06:14he was an artist basically.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17An easy way of determining the age of Newlyn copper
0:06:17 > 0:06:20is if you turn it upside down it's stamped - Newlyn.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23You know, items were mainly only stamped after John Drew MacKenzie's death
0:06:23 > 0:06:26in the early 1900s.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Prior to that things were just hand-signed.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31This was done around 1910, 1915.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34It's so stylistic of the period.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Look at the rolled edges, the way that's been rolled over.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42It's not just a tourist piece, this is meant to be used and last
0:06:42 > 0:06:44for a long time.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46And if you lift the lid,
0:06:46 > 0:06:51you can see it's the most wonderful desk inkwell.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Unfortunately, it's missing its glass liner.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Yes, I'm afraid so. I don't know what happened to that.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00But that doesn't matter, you can find replacements.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02They are pretty much a standard size.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05But what I like about it - most Newlyn copper has fish
0:07:05 > 0:07:09and bubbles and seaweed - on the side here we've got a squid!
0:07:09 > 0:07:11HE LAUGHS
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Full of ink.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Isn't that lovely?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I think that's absolutely charming. Is it something you want to sell?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21It's been in the family a long time.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I want to sell it. I want to raise money for Hearing Dogs.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Reggie's made such a difference to me,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I'd like to give other people the chance.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Oh, wonderful. Let's put it into the saleroom
0:07:30 > 0:07:33with a valuation of £150-£200,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36but a fixed reserve at £130.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- Happy?- Happy.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Because it's a very nice piece.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Well, let's hope the auctioneer can do a proper job for Reggie and Christine here.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I have a feeling that will go back down to Cornwall.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51James is up next and he's feeling a sense of deja vu
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- after meeting Beverley and Philip. - Why do you look familiar?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57We've been on before with you.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00That's quite embarrassing. What did you sell last time?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02A Minton jardiniere.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Now, Phil, Beverley, this is a classic piece.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Do you love it?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- No.- Not really.- Oh.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Did I get it right?- Right.- You got it right.- OK, the pressure's on.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14See if we can get two out of two.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19Because these, for me, are everything that is interesting about history.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23They're the oldest things I've seen for probably five or six years
0:08:23 > 0:08:24on Flog It!
0:08:24 > 0:08:30You can see we have got labels on here, and this one says, "Found in...something Park."
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Found at Tranmere Park in Guiseley.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37In Guiseley, Yorkshire. Harry Ramsden territory.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38That's correct.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40How did you come to have them?
0:08:40 > 0:08:45My grandfather found them when he was building some houses at Guiseley.
0:08:45 > 0:08:51I believe he dug them up in 1936.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Fantastic.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55You know, he was probably the first person to handle
0:08:55 > 0:09:01- this example for 5,000 years. - Oh, gosh!
0:09:01 > 0:09:03This is Neolithic,
0:09:03 > 0:09:09an axe head, made 2,500-3,500 BC.
0:09:09 > 0:09:15So the most incredible thing. What a shame it's had a chunk out of it.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17It's a fantastic bit of history.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20This one is later.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25It's far more fashioned, it's far more detailed, with this little bit of decoration here.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30I'm not an expert on this sort of thing, but this, I think, is Bronze Age.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35This is 2,000 BC, to 1,500 BC. This one's not damaged at all.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39A most wonderful bit of Yorkshire history and
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I would hope that local museums
0:09:41 > 0:09:45might be interested, because they're not things that you find every day.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48So why do you want to sell those?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50If they were mine, I wouldn't.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54They've been in a brown paper bag in the garage, in a bottom drawer.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56What are they doing in a garage?!
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Well, where would you put them?!
0:09:58 > 0:10:02If they were mine, they would be pride of place in the living room.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- I love them.- I think my grandson would use them as a weapon!
0:10:05 > 0:10:07THEY LAUGH
0:10:07 > 0:10:13The value... The thing is, as much as you've got age, you've got to find somebody who would want them.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17There aren't many mad people in the world like me that would love them.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22So I think they're worth £80-£120.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25It's the old auctioneers' favourite,
0:10:25 > 0:10:29but I think that's what they're worth. If that is rare,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31they might make an AWFUL lot more.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33With a few phone calls
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- in the right direction, we might do a good job for you.- Good.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41We've now found our first items to take to the saleroom.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43There's some real gems.
0:10:43 > 0:10:49As well as the two long-buried axe heads, we've got the Newlyn inkwell,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52a make I am particularly familiar with, and fond of.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55And finally, the games table might not be as portable
0:10:55 > 0:10:58as the model name suggests, but I think it is a lovely lot.
0:11:07 > 0:11:085,000.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11And this is where we're putting our experts' valuations to the test.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Thomas Watson Auctioneers in the heart of Darlington.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15On the rostrum is auctioneer Peter Robinson,
0:11:15 > 0:11:20I am going to meet our owners, their lots are just about to go under the hammer.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23But before we see how they all fare, remember, when you buy
0:11:23 > 0:11:26and sell at auction, there is commission to pay,
0:11:26 > 0:11:27which varies from saleroom to saleroom.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30,ere at Thomas Watson's
0:11:30 > 0:11:33it is 15% plus VAT. The first of our lots
0:11:33 > 0:11:36to face the bidders is the games table.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Good luck, Chris and Craig. We're talking about this little,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43tiny snooker table, it's been in your family four generations.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- So you've obviously had lots of fun with this.- Yes.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49He's obviously beaten you so many times at snooker, and pool and billiards.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52We've had great fun in the auction room, and I am sure
0:11:52 > 0:11:56someone will buy this, and find another set of balls that's compatible with it, and hey ho.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58£100-£200, I think that's a bargain.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Do you? Have you been playing on it?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I have. But they are tricky things to sell.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06They are. But at least it's not massive.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- No, no.- Might be all right.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Here we go. We're going to put it to the test. Good luck.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15The Riley's mahogany slate bed table,
0:12:15 > 0:12:19with its balls and scoreboard.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23And I have £60 to start on this lot. £60.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26At £60, can we say 70?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30At £60, all done at £60? 70, I'm bid.
0:12:30 > 0:12:3280 bid with me now.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36£90, £100 with me. At £100, selling now.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38At £100. Are we all finished?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41At £100, selling now at £100.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42All done?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45£100. That's a good result.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Incidentally, I thought the scoreboard was at least £40-£50.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- That was a nice thing. - Yeah, it was a nice thing.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- It's gone, guys. - Someone's got a bargain.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58Yeah. You've got to think of another game to play with now, to keep it in the family, I guess.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03Just at the bottom end of the estimate, but Chris and Craig are going home happy.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Hopefully, the Newlyn inkwell will raise a bit more for the Hearing Dogs charity.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11My turn to be the expert. Remember that wonderful Newlyn copper inkwell
0:13:11 > 0:13:13with the little squids and octopuses on it?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15It's just about to go under the hammer.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17It belongs to Christine,
0:13:17 > 0:13:21who's just been joined by Sue, and of course, Reggie.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24This is what it's all about, isn't it?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Hearing Dogs. All the money is going to Hearing Dogs.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Yes, well, he's my best friend, and I wouldn't be without him now.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Because he does everything for me I can't do myself,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36in the sense of answering the door,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39he tells me the telephone's ringing, he wakes me up in the morning
0:13:39 > 0:13:43by jumping on me when the alarm clock goes off.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45He loves you. He loves you.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- I love him too.- Don't you? Aww.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Wish us all the best, because it is going under the hammer, isn't it, Reggie?
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Give me a little kiss. Give me a lick! Good boy!
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Here we go, it's going under the hammer now.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Newlyn School copper inkwell.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07At £100, will we say?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09110, can I say?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12At £100, 110, 120, 130.
0:14:12 > 0:14:18- Good, it's going. - 140? 130, 140, 150.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Brilliant.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25160. 170. 180. 190.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30200. 210.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33220, 230.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35This is a good result.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38220, the bid's with me now.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41At £220, 230, the next bid.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46Selling then at £220, the lot now being sold at £220. All done?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Yes. The hammer's gone down.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- Reggie, give us a bark! - Give us a bark, Reg.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54That's brilliant!
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Oh, that's wonderful. - Isn't that great news?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Hearing Dogs will be really, really pleased with that because it does cost
0:15:00 > 0:15:03quite a lot to train a hearing dog, but it's so worthwhile.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05It absolutely changes people's lives.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07It's certainly changed mine anyway.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11It's good to catch up with you both, and I hope you treat yourself
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- to a bit of lunch while you're here in town.- We will.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- Good. And take Reggie for walkies, cos there's a nice park here as well.- Yes.
0:15:19 > 0:15:25Brilliant, what a great result for charity, and I can relax now as my reputation remains intact.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Up next are the axe heads.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30How they get on is anybody's guess.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Going under the hammer right now, the oldest things in the saleroom,
0:15:34 > 0:15:35belonging to Beverley and Philip.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38We're looking for £80-£120.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I love these, I think they're absolutely fantastic.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42And your favourite phrase, they've got the rub.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46They have. Do you know what I find really hard to believe?
0:15:46 > 0:15:52The antiquities, the oldest things, really, that we see on Flog It!, are sometimes the cheapest.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Yeah. They're starting to come, they're starting to be recognised,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57but they've got a long way to go.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Good luck, anyway. Let's hope we get the top end.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Interesting lot this time.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06The Neolithic axe heads there.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10And we have got interest in these lots. We can open at £90.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12That's good, isn't it?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14At £90, there are two in the lot, two together.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19£100, on my right, at £100 bid now.
0:16:19 > 0:16:25I have 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160.
0:16:25 > 0:16:31170, 180, 190. 200. 210. 220.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34240. 250. 260.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37A bit of hot competition going on in the room.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38It is lovely to see.
0:16:38 > 0:16:44At £260 for the lot now. All finished? 270, 280, 290,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46going for 300.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Go on!
0:16:47 > 0:16:51280. At 280, they're being sold.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56At £280, all finished at 280?
0:16:56 > 0:16:57What a lovely result! Good result.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- £280. Well done.- You did it again.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Lovely.- Marvellous.- Lovely.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09You just never know whether those quirky items will get the attention they deserve.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13We've got a lot more coming up in the next part of the programme, so keep watching.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Just on the outskirts of Richmond is a field where nowadays people walk their dogs.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31But this is no ordinary field.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36It is actually one of the first ever horse racing courses in the country.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44It closed in 1890 for health and safety reasons.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47The bends were considered too tight.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53But North Yorkshire is still synonymous with horse racing
0:17:53 > 0:17:56and training, and has been for over 200 years.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10There's around 10 top class racecourses which hold well over 170 race meets each year.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Just down the road from Richmond is the small village of Middleham,
0:18:14 > 0:18:18which is home to flat race trainer Mark Johnston.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20These are some of his horses.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28Mark came to Middleham in 1988 with 13 horses.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32He now has over 200 on three sites.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39And a staff of 135, including riders, stable hands and office workers.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Hello. Today I'm going to meet a few people who work at the yard,
0:18:49 > 0:18:53and find out a bit more about how these horses are trained.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Throughout the morning, hundreds of horses are taken up
0:18:56 > 0:18:59to the specially-designed course to be put through their paces.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I've just made it to the top of the gallops.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13There is a wonderful view from up here. You can see all of Leyburn being lit by the morning sunshine.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15This is the last stream coming round.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17There's four groups go out every morning.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21The first starts at 6.15am, and the last one at about 11.30am.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24The groups have broken up, this is the first string.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27You can hear them. Here they come, look.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29That is a sight to behold.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35These horses are going to be doing around 30-35 miles an hour.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Isn't that incredible? That's an all-weather track as well,
0:19:49 > 0:19:55that's the same surface that's been put down on the racetrack in Dubai, so it can be used all year round.
0:19:55 > 0:20:01To keep over 200 horses healthy and treated for any injuries, there are two full-time vets
0:20:01 > 0:20:07that work across three sites, in a specially kitted out equine surgery.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13If any of the horses need physiotherapy,
0:20:13 > 0:20:17there's a swimming pool on site where I've met up with senior trainer Jock Bennett.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I've got to say it's a great pool.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Fantastic.- And look at the view as well.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I know, yeah.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30The horses on this side get charged more for the view!
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Exactly, room with a view and a swimming pool!
0:20:34 > 0:20:37So obviously this is great for exercising horses
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- where you want to take the weight of their feet, obviously.- Yes.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Mainly used for non-weight bearing injuries. Very good for horses
0:20:44 > 0:20:47that have got bruised or poisoned on the foot.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Also very good for any strains, sore shins, anything like that.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54How many revolutions will this horse do, do you think?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56He will do 20 laps.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Will he? That's quite a lot.- Yes, it's about a 10-minute exercise.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03OK, he's coming out now.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Yeah.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11That's a lovely sight, that's a really nice sight.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It's lovely to see the horses happy.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Yeah, it is.- Yeah.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23After a flurry of activity in the morning, the stable's calmed down a bit, although cleaning,
0:21:23 > 0:21:27vet work and feeding still has to be done for the rest of the day.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32The main event is when the horses that are being trained here are taken off to the races.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36And it's all overseen by the man himself, Mark Johnston.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40We're just waiting for a horse to come out now.
0:21:40 > 0:21:46It is called Rule Breaker, and it's going to race at Beverley, so here's its transport ready to pick it up.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52What's happening here? Rule Breaker is being boxed up and loaded?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Yes, ready to go racing. Daily routine, basically.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58We have them all over the country, all ends of the country today.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00So what do you look for in a horse?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Well, different people do it different ways, but I'm a great believer in pedigree.
0:22:04 > 0:22:10People think because my background was as a vet, that I'm going to come more from the veterinary
0:22:10 > 0:22:15point of view, from the soundness, the confirmation point of view, but I'm a huge believer in pedigree.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20That's the only real guide we've got to what we're going to have with the finished article.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Come on, son. - Making sure she goes off all right.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27On you go, on you go.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31'And that's all from my fantastic morning here at the stables.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35'Unfortunately, I didn't have time to go to the race, but in case you want to know,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38'Rule Breaker came in third at that race in Beverley.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43'And a few weeks later, he came first in another race, which is absolutely brilliant.'
0:22:52 > 0:22:55I'm hoping there'll be a few winners amongst our owners
0:22:55 > 0:22:58at the valuation day here at the market hall in Richmond.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07- It's Lynne, isn't it?- Yes. - Thank you for coming to Flog It! today. Are you a Richmond lady?
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Well, I was here during the war at school.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- I hated the school.- Did you? - But I loved Richmond.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Then, 30 years ago when I found myself on my own, I came to Richmond
0:23:19 > 0:23:24to live and I've never regretted it, and this is all about the history.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28- Right, this book is the history of Richmond.- Yes, Clarkson's.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- By Clarkson, that's a well-known book round here, isn't it?- Yes.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35And there you've got a pull out map of the area.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Yes, and there's the inscription on...
0:23:38 > 0:23:40There we are.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44There's a nice inscription there as well, which is "dedicated
0:23:44 > 0:23:49"from the author to his friend George Wales Esq. Recorder of Richmond".
0:23:49 > 0:23:52What a nice thing to find, such a local book.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- How long ago did you get this? - About 30 years ago.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59So soon after coming back, you were in a shop and saw the book
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- and thought, I'm going to have that?- Yes.
0:24:02 > 0:24:08It is the 1821 edition, printed for the author by Thomas Bowman, 1821.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- The sad thing of course is the condition lets it down.- I know.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13As you flick through the book you'll see...
0:24:13 > 0:24:15But that's how I bought it.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17We're not trying to blame you, Lynne, for it.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22But there's a lot of information in there about Richmond
0:24:22 > 0:24:24as it was in those days.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27It's a real encyclopaedia of Richmond, isn't it?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30So why have you decided to sell it?
0:24:30 > 0:24:35Well, there are no pockets in shrouds and I can't take it with me,
0:24:35 > 0:24:40so I want it to go to somebody who'll appreciate it.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43I think that's very likely, the fact that you're selling it here,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46that it's going to find that local home.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50They're going to read it, enjoy it, treasure it, etc.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53You bought it about 30 years ago, how much was it for?
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- About £12.- No mean sum then, really.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00No, it wasn't, I couldn't really afford it,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02but there was a fire in the Clarkson's yard
0:25:02 > 0:25:06and only 100 survived of these.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09It's got to be quite a rare copy. I think if it was in better order
0:25:09 > 0:25:13I'd be saying £100-£150 as an estimate,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16but I think we're going to have to temper that.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- Yeah, that's fine.- I think a 50 reserve would be a nice idea,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22because you'd be disappointed if it made any less.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27- Yes.- An estimate of £50-£80, and fingers crossed two wealthy Richmond people
0:25:27 > 0:25:31get stuck into it and they both really want it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- You hope, I hope.- Everyone hopes, even the viewers hope.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Fingers crossed, but I've got a good feeling about this one.
0:25:42 > 0:25:48And James has got a great feeling about Barbara's opera glasses.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Barbara, imagine you're a lady in the 19th century.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53You're going out to the theatre,
0:25:53 > 0:25:57with your friends, your lover or husband, whoever it may be.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01You want to impress them, and when you're sitting watching the theatre or watching the opera,
0:26:01 > 0:26:06you want to take out the finest pair of opera glasses you can afford,
0:26:06 > 0:26:08and these are fantastic.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Is it something you've used, that you've taken out and enjoyed, or have they been
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- stuffed in a drawer for 20 years? - I have used them.- Have you?- Yes.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Where did you take them? - Dare I tell you?- Yeah.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Well, I'm a great fan of Engelbert.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24What? Engelbert Humperdinck?! No, you're not!
0:26:24 > 0:26:27I am, I am, I love him.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I go to see his shows, all his shows.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- Really?- Yes, don't I love him?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35And I take these with me.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Well, I have to say, I don't know whether old Engelbert could tell
0:26:38 > 0:26:41that something so fashionable and wonderful
0:26:41 > 0:26:45was looking at him from the audience, because these are fantastic.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Generally you would say opera glasses are very hard to sell.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I see them all the time
0:26:50 > 0:26:52with the cylinders covered in leather, sometimes veneered in mother-of-pearl,
0:26:52 > 0:26:56sometimes veneered in tortoiseshell, but with this,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59it's enamel, so what we're looking at is a sleeve of metal
0:26:59 > 0:27:03that's been engine-turned on a lathe,
0:27:03 > 0:27:05and then over the top
0:27:05 > 0:27:10you have this rose enamel here and then hand-jewelled and hand-enamelled
0:27:10 > 0:27:13over the top. The most fantastic quality, really.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16These would have been made in Paris.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20I would put £150-£250 on these.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- You haven't told me if you're happy to sell them yet.- Yes.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25As long as the price was right.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27150 reserve?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- Yes.- Happy?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- Yes.- Let's do that.
0:27:33 > 0:27:40While James keeps the ladies happy with his valuations, Adam uses his cheek to keep them laughing.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43It's going to be good this one. I'm going to remember this one.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Welcome to Flog It!, Faye.- Thank you.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48It's very nice to see you, and your friend here?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Yes, this is Paula.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- Paula's got an interesting laugh, hasn't she?- She's got a VERY interesting laugh.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- Most people can hear her laugh. - PAULA LAUGHS
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Faye, you've got an interesting story to tell us
0:27:59 > 0:28:02about this painting by Fred Yates, and a lot of people
0:28:02 > 0:28:06will recognise Fred Yates, a distinctive style, a well-known artist,
0:28:06 > 0:28:11born in 1922 and died in 2008 at the age of 85.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16Born in Manchester and you can see the Lowry influence in the figures, can't you?
0:28:16 > 0:28:17Yes, you can, definitely.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20What's the significance of this painting to you?
0:28:20 > 0:28:23I used to race powerboats and this is one
0:28:23 > 0:28:24of the powerboats I used to race in.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27OK. It's a great name for a boat, The Executioner.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29It was good, it was a really good boat.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32So we went down to Fowey for a powerboat race over four days,
0:28:32 > 0:28:37and when we turned up with the boat this gentleman started painting it.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42We said, "What are you going to do with that?" and he said, "You can buy it off me."
0:28:42 > 0:28:45He popped this frame on it, we brought it back
0:28:45 > 0:28:46and we paid him £30 for it.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Gosh. And you bought it yourself?
0:28:49 > 0:28:53- Yup, bought it myself.- How long ago was this?- This was back in 1981.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56You must have been the youngest powerboat racer.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00I was the youngest lady co-driver that Saturday at the age of 16.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- So do you like it?- Not particularly, no.- Have you had it on display?
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- No.- Where has it been?
0:29:05 > 0:29:07My mum's attic.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09What about you, Paula, do you like it?
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- It's hideous.- Is it? Straight to the point, Paula.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Straight to the point.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Fred Yates, good name,
0:29:15 > 0:29:18interestingly he used to be a painter and decorator.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22After the war I believe he came back and he started as a painter and decorator
0:29:22 > 0:29:27and then went on to art school and it all went from there, and art courses.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32He's now very desirable, he moved to Cornwall I think about 1970, and so he was there hanging around,
0:29:32 > 0:29:38always painting outside, and I think he spent his last years in France,
0:29:38 > 0:29:41but he came back to England and died in England of a heart attack.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43This country's no good for you.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Stay out in France, you'll live longer!
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Prices vary massively
0:29:49 > 0:29:54from 5,000 or 6,000, down, down, down to about £100.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Down, down...
0:29:56 > 0:29:59There's a massive range of prices
0:29:59 > 0:30:04and his typically high prices seem to be the ones with lots
0:30:04 > 0:30:09of buildings, lots of people, and you know, beaches, the Cornish scenes.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13We're worried about the great big boat in the middle, I like that
0:30:13 > 0:30:15and obviously it makes it for you,
0:30:15 > 0:30:19but it may not make it for the Fred Yates buyers.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21That's why I think it intrigued us.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23A good investment, £30.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28I think you could stick a nought on that nowadays and put 300-500.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30I don't think it's going to make thousands,
0:30:30 > 0:30:32I'd love if it did,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35because can you imagine at the auction with you two there as well.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37You'll hear us.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39But I think 300-500 is worth a spin,
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- and put a reserve of £300 on it. - That's fine by me.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Anyway, fingers crossed.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48I'm looking forward to this one more than most.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- Oh, good, onwards and upwards. - Let's hope the bidding powers on it and it makes a fortune.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53- Yeah, with any luck.- Thanks a lot.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58We're all looking forward to it, and we won't have to wait long to find out
0:30:58 > 0:31:00what the bidders think of our final three items.
0:31:00 > 0:31:06We're off for our second visit to Thomas Watson Auctioneers in Darlington.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10We've got the fantastic Fred Yates painting we've just seen,
0:31:10 > 0:31:14joined by super fan Barbara's stunning enamel opera glasses,
0:31:14 > 0:31:19which should hopefully raise enough money to get her to another Engelbert Humperdinck concert.
0:31:19 > 0:31:25And lastly, a lovely record of historic Richmond which is going under the hammer right now.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34We're big fans of this lot, it's a lovely bit of local history,
0:31:34 > 0:31:37it belongs to Lynne and I think for not much longer, I really do.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39A wonderful book.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41- It is. - Why have you decided to sell this?
0:31:41 > 0:31:48I've had it for 30 years now, and I feel that it should go to somebody else to be the custodian.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- To enjoy it as well. - Yes, yes, to enjoy it.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54A little bit of foxing, but the print's all there, isn't it?
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Everything's there, the spine is good, everything else is good.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58It's a lovely thing.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02What is particularly pleasing is, when we go all around the country
0:32:02 > 0:32:05and it's so nice to see something particularly local to that area.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07That's what it's all about, local interest.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Let's see what the locals think. It's going under the hammer right now.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15The volume this time there, showing the map,
0:32:15 > 0:32:18the History of Richmond, Clarkson, 1821,
0:32:18 > 0:32:23and commission bids here, I'm opening at £50.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26At £50,
0:32:26 > 0:32:2860 can I say?
0:32:28 > 0:32:29We're straight in at 50.
0:32:29 > 0:32:3260 bid. £70. £80. £90. £100.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35At £100, are we all finished now at £100 for the lot?
0:32:35 > 0:32:39Now selling at £100. 10, and 20. And 30.
0:32:39 > 0:32:45- He's got a bid on the board clock. - At £140, being sold now at £140
0:32:45 > 0:32:47for the volume, selling at 140. All done?
0:32:49 > 0:32:53£140. It was straight in at 50, wasn't it? Oh, brilliant.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56That did not take long. That's gone back to Richmond, hasn't it?
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Yes.- Thanks for bringing it.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00Yes, lovely, absolutely lovely.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03And I enjoyed your expression as the price went up.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Well, I didn't expect it.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Open-mouthed shock.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13What a result. It doesn't surprise me as local items tend to sell well in their home area.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17Let's hope this doesn't affect the Parisian opera glasses.
0:33:17 > 0:33:22We've got some real quality for you right now, glasses like I've never come across before.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27They belong to Barbara, wonderful opera glasses with the most beautiful enamel, exquisite enamel.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29It's lovely, isn't it?
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Why are you selling these, these are a keeper, surely?
0:33:32 > 0:33:36Well, it depends on the day.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38I think they'll fly away.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- You're a big fan of Engelbert Humperdinck, aren't you?- I am.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44What if he comes to town and you want to see a concert?
0:33:44 > 0:33:48I'll wait and see him after the show, and I'll see him in the flesh.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Oh, get a closer look.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53THEY LAUGH
0:33:53 > 0:33:56He's been in the business a long time, hasn't he?
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Yes, over 40 years.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00And what was his original name?
0:34:00 > 0:34:03- Gerry Dorsey.- That's it.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Yes, and he's 74 now.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07# Please, release me... #
0:34:07 > 0:34:08That's the one, isn't it?
0:34:08 > 0:34:09# Let me go... #
0:34:09 > 0:34:10I'm off.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13We're just about to release these opera glasses here
0:34:13 > 0:34:17on the bidders in Darlington, and I think they should do well.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19- Great quality. - I hope so, they are lovely.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21The best quality.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24OK, let's find out what the bidders think, here we go.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27A very nice lot this time,
0:34:27 > 0:34:31the opera glasses with the enamel decoration and mother-of-pearl.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35A lot of interest here, I'm starting at 160.

0:34:42 > 0:34:45190. 200. 210. 220.
0:34:45 > 0:34:51At £220 bid, 230. 240. At £240 bid.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Quality always sells!
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Are we all finished now at £240?
0:34:55 > 0:34:57All done at 240?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- Brilliant.- Oh, good.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- £240.- Well, they're worth it.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06That's a concert ticket to see Engelbert, isn't it, really?
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Yes, it is.
0:35:08 > 0:35:09It's not, it doesn't cost that much!
0:35:09 > 0:35:11No, but you might have to travel somewhere.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15I have to stay in a hotel, and I have to travel there.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17And take a friend, yes.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18Well, yes, there you go...
0:35:21 > 0:35:25Well, perhaps a visit to Paris to see Engelbert is in order.
0:35:25 > 0:35:30And the final, most exciting discovery from Richmond
0:35:30 > 0:35:35is the painting that Adam loved and the girls who seemed to love Adam.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39Next up, we've got that wonderful oil painting by Fred Yates, we're looking at £300-£500.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43It belongs to Faye who's right next to me, hello, both of you there.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- Hello.- I've just read in my notes you were the youngest lady in the powerboat race.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48- I was, yes.- Did you win?
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- Yes, we did, quite a few times. - Wonderful.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53What I've got to ask is, why?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55This is your boat as well.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Fred Yates painted this, you met him, why do you want to sell this?
0:35:59 > 0:36:02All your memories are here, you don't have the boat, do you?
0:36:02 > 0:36:05No, I don't. My mum's sat up in the balcony hoping we take it home.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Is she? You know what, I don't blame her, I really don't blame her.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- What do you think?- Yeah, I agree.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14It's got to go home on the wall, surely.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18You've changed your tune, Paula, you were saying, "Get rid of it, it's horrible," the other day.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22Well, it's the subject matter, it's not horrible.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24I don't agree with her, I was just saying...
0:36:24 > 0:36:30I love Fred Yates, but for me I don't own a powerboat, and if I did I wouldn't be selling this.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32But we thought we'd come and see.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35We don't mind if it doesn't sell, we've had a brilliant time.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39- Just here for the day out? - £300-£500, we're looking at.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- An experience. - He's a sought-after artist.- I know.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Let's find out what the bidders think.

0:37:16 > 0:37:18680. 700.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22720. 750. 780.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26800. 820. 850.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29880. 900.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31No, 880, then I'm bid.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- £880.- Out on the phone.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- My mum will be crying.- All done?
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Yes, £880, I'm ever so pleased for you.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42A car service and a bit of credit card, excellent.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44A bit of credit card?!
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Is that what you're going to do?
0:37:46 > 0:37:47- Oh, bless you.- Why not, why not?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49And get the car serviced.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53- Yeah.- Mum's going to be pleased, can you see her smiling? Thumbs up?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Yes.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57I'm ever so pleased for you all.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00We've had a great time, haven't we?
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- We certainly have.- An incredible result.- Any sadness to see it go?
0:38:03 > 0:38:05A bit, but we've got the picture in the catalogue.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Where is the boat now?
0:38:07 > 0:38:09I think it's maybe on a scrapheap.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- Oh, really.- Recycled.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14I don't want to say my age, but it's a fair few years ago now.
0:38:14 > 0:38:19- Don't ask, either. - Thank you so much for coming in.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- We've enjoyed every minute. - What a wonderful day we've had.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24I hope you've enjoyed watching the show as well.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Do join us again for more surprises on Flog It!
0:38:26 > 0:38:29But for now from Darlington, it's goodbye from all of us.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30Bye!
