0:00:07 > 0:00:10The origins of this castle date back to Saxon times,
0:00:10 > 0:00:15but it was William the Conqueror who commanded the first wooden castle to be built here on this site.
0:00:15 > 0:00:21I wonder what he'd make of it today, because "Flog It!" comes to you from the magnificent Warwick Castle.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Will we find any Saxon or Norman antiquities here today?
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I certainly hope so. But hundreds of people have turned out,
0:00:56 > 0:01:01all laden with bags and boxes, so I know we'll find some treasures.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Somebody's going to go home with a great deal of money.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I don't know who it is yet, but keep watching and you'll find out.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12It's time to get on with the show and get everybody inside the courtyard so they can ask...
0:01:12 > 0:01:14ALL: What's it worth?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19'And we have a whole team of experts here to provide the answer.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23'They're led by our Glaswegian auctioneer, Anita Manning,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- 'a woman of great experience...' - Tell me where you got it.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30'..who instantly knows what she's looking at.'
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- It's a bit early in the day for that! - THEY LAUGH
0:01:32 > 0:01:35'But being canny as usual, she's not giving anything away.'
0:01:35 > 0:01:39It looks lethal, but we'll have a closer look at it.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43'And Thomas Plant, another auctioneer with extensive knowledge
0:01:43 > 0:01:46'who has an eye for the unusual.'
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Is it a railing, is it a battle mace? I think it might be railing.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55'And then, of course, there's me. Well, I've never been one to blow my own trumpet.'
0:01:55 > 0:01:58HE BLOWS HORN
0:01:58 > 0:02:02'And coming up, I have a question of a rather personal nature for Anita.'
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Have you ever had to share a bathroom with three or four guys?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Only the men I was married to. - THEY LAUGH
0:02:08 > 0:02:12'I'm given all the right answers by one of our owners.'
0:02:12 > 0:02:16They came via my nan's sister, who was a domestic for the sculptor.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- You're joking!- No. - Oh, my gosh! Such provenance!
0:02:20 > 0:02:26'And I explore Hidcote Manor, probably one of the most beautiful gardens in Britain.'
0:02:26 > 0:02:31When you look around and take it all in, it's absolutely stunning.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34It shows the eye of a true artist. Just look at it.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Well, I think we're going to be in for a marvellous day here at Warwick Castle.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53The sun is shining, there are smiles on everybody's faces, everybody's now safely seated in the courtyard
0:02:53 > 0:02:59and it looks like Anita Manning is our first expert to the tables. Let's take a wee peep.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Cath, I am absolutely soppy about miniature things,
0:03:03 > 0:03:09and I'm delighted to see this lovely wee doll's highchair.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Can you tell me where you go it? - It belonged to my mother
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and she was going to sell it about ten years ago,
0:03:15 > 0:03:20- so I said I would like to have it. - Do you have a collection of dolls? Did you use it?- No.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24I don't have a collection and I don't collect dolls,
0:03:24 > 0:03:30but it belonged to my mother, who had dolls, and I think she would've had it as part of the collection.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35So how did you use it? What did you do with it?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39I didn't really. It's just been sitting around. It was in the loft for a while
0:03:39 > 0:03:43and then I brought it down and I've just moved house,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46so I just feel I haven't really got room for it any more.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49It's a delightful wee thing.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52It's a fairly simple wee item
0:03:52 > 0:03:57which I think may have been made up perhaps by a father for his daughter.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00It's a wee artisany type of thing.
0:04:00 > 0:04:06Now, what we have is a highchair for the dolly
0:04:06 > 0:04:11and if you can help me with this, we bring this over,
0:04:11 > 0:04:15and then bring it up like that
0:04:15 > 0:04:20and we have a little low chair which wheels back and forward.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25- And you can lift this up. - We can lift this up and we've got a nice little piece of stencil
0:04:25 > 0:04:31- or pokerwork here.- Oh, right!- And we can see this delightful little scene
0:04:31 > 0:04:35of children playing in a woodland
0:04:35 > 0:04:37and feeding chickens.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41And, of course, these wee things here for the dolly to play with.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43So, I mean, it's such a sweet wee thing.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- It's made of beech.- Right.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52It's probably 1930s, 1940s.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56I wouldn't date it much earlier than that,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- and it certainly isn't Victorian. - OK.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03I think it's sweet, it's adorable.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06It will appeal to the doll collectors,
0:05:06 > 0:05:09because this will be a piece of furniture
0:05:09 > 0:05:12on which to display their dolls,
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- and the doll market is good just now.- Is it?
0:05:16 > 0:05:23I mean, have you an idea of what you would be looking for or what you think its value is?
0:05:23 > 0:05:28I've not really any idea, but possibly £80 or something? 80 to 100?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- I think...- Maybe more. I'd like that to be the lowest amount.
0:05:31 > 0:05:38- Yeah. I think we're in that region, anyway.- Good.
0:05:38 > 0:05:44I think, probably, an estimate of 80 to 120 is the right estimate.
0:05:44 > 0:05:50Let's hope that we have two doll collectors in there who will compete fiercely for it.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54It is a sweet wee thing. Are you happy with that 80 to 120?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- Yeah, that's fine. - Let's put it to auction. Let's flog it!- OK. Thank you very much.
0:05:58 > 0:06:04'Anita's started us off with the auctioneer's favourite estimate of £80 to £120.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08'She's right, that little chair should appeal to the doll collectors.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16'It's always good to find young people at our events.'
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- You're very young. You're both into antiques, obviously.- I'm doing it for my mum.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25- HE LAUGHS - You're on a errand, are you, for Mum?- Yeah.- Aww, bless her.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34'Next, young Thomas with Pap, who has brought in something a bit out of the ordinary.'
0:06:34 > 0:06:36That's your nickname. Why is that?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43So, tell me, you brought along this Nepalese, is that right...
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Nepalese Kora, I think. From the research I've done, I think that's what it is.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Tell me where you acquired it from.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54I helped an old gentleman put a pond in his back garden
0:06:54 > 0:06:57and I didn't want to take any money off him
0:06:57 > 0:07:03and he knew I'd got a few replica swords hanging up at home, so he gave me this.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07So this gentleman, a neighbour, friend?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Turned out to be a friend in the end. He was a neighbour of a friend.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- And you just helped him.- Just helped him with his pond in his back garden.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- He presented you with this Nepalese Kora.- Yeah.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- It's quite a vicious instrument, isn't it? - It's still got quite an edge on it.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28Still got quite an edge. It's rather handsome. It's rather a nice weapon, really.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32The thing about these that one always has to look at
0:07:32 > 0:07:37is are these copies? Cos, obviously, they were copied in India quite a lot
0:07:37 > 0:07:41and sold as tourist items.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46But something about this tells me the quality is too good to be a copy,
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- especially this inlay here.- Yeah.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52The chap who gave it to you, the man who you did the pond for,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55did he acquire it himself?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59It was a relative who was in the Queen's Hussars,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I think the Nottinghamshire Regiment.
0:08:01 > 0:08:07He was told he brought it back with him from India when he'd done a tour of duty out there.
0:08:07 > 0:08:13- So this gentleman you did the pond for was elderly, so his relative... - Yes.
0:08:13 > 0:08:19- So we're talking 1900s, are we? - I think so.- Late Victorian, early Edwardian, early 20th century.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I think that all adds up to this.
0:08:22 > 0:08:28And the fact that there's a slight crack in the steel here,
0:08:28 > 0:08:34- I think this has been used.- Yeah. - Now, let's talk about value.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37We've established that we think it's right.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42I personally think it's worth £150 to £250.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44It could make £200 to £300.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47But what do you want to say? What do you want to do?
0:08:47 > 0:08:53Well, at that price, yeah, the money would come in handy, cos I'm rebuilding a bike.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58- You're rebuilding a bike?- Yeah. So the money would go towards that. - Brilliant.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03- Shall we talk about a reserve?- Yeah, I wouldn't like it to go for nothing.
0:09:03 > 0:09:09- What do you want? - Would a reserve of 100, 125?
0:09:09 > 0:09:14It's perfectly acceptable to put a reserve on lower than the estimate. 120 I think would be great.
0:09:14 > 0:09:20- All I can hope for you is that at the auction we get £200 plus for that.- That would be nice.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- And that would be really useful for the bike rebuild.- It would.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30'Well, I'd love to have a look at that bike when it's finished.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35'Seems some people are planning to celebrate long before the auction.'
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Ooh, look! Look! Hey! - THEY LAUGH
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Someone's a winner!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Oh, look at that! A bottle of bubbly!
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Hey, you do it in style, don't you? You do it in style.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- I'm not joking, this is chilled, as well. - THEY LAUGH
0:09:55 > 0:09:58'Next, Anita with a mystery object.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00'Does anybody know what it is?'
0:10:02 > 0:10:07- Deborah, welcome to "Flog It!" Is this your wee girl? - Yes, this is Bethany.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Now, do you know what this is, Deborah?
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- No, no, we're not sure.- You're not sure. Bethany, what do you think?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19No idea. Looks like something to do with tea with the strainer.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Yeah. Well, it has something to do with liquid
0:10:23 > 0:10:28and if you think along the lines of tea strainer, you're thinking along the right lines.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32This is what we call a wine funnel
0:10:32 > 0:10:37and it was used in much the same way as you would use a tea strainer.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41What you would do is you would decant your wine into a decanter
0:10:41 > 0:10:45and you would pour it through the top here
0:10:45 > 0:10:48so that all the gunge and sediment at the bottom
0:10:48 > 0:10:51would be kept in this reservoir at the top
0:10:51 > 0:10:56and your wine would slide beautifully into your cut-glass decanter.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Now, tell me where you got it.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02It was one of my late auntie's pieces
0:11:02 > 0:11:05and we found it very safely locked away.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- So you've never used it. - No.- Never used it. OK.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13This is a very collectable item.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Number one, because of its purpose.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20People who are interested in good wines and so on will use this
0:11:20 > 0:11:24and would like to own such an item.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28It is also of considerable age.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33The hallmark has told me that it is 1803,
0:11:33 > 0:11:35so it's George III.
0:11:35 > 0:11:41If you look here, you can see the little lion mark telling us that it's silver.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Another point which is important
0:11:44 > 0:11:47is that it was made in Newcastle.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51And people love to collect provincial silver.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54So we've got a lovely, lovely thing here.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Another thing that I should mention in talking about this item
0:11:57 > 0:12:01is the condition of it, which is good.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Very often, in funnels of this age,
0:12:05 > 0:12:09we have this bottom part broken off.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12So this is absolutely complete
0:12:12 > 0:12:14and it's absolutely lovely.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Now, value on it. What would you think? Can you make a guess?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Er, about £50 to £75.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- I was thinking the same, yeah. - Right, OK.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30Well, if we put it to auction, I would hope for perhaps four times that.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35- Really?- Yeah. So I would like to put an estimate of £200 to £300 on it.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Gosh!- It's a terrific item.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- Would you be happy to put it to auction at that price?- Yes.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Yeah. You're still thinking it's a pretty useless object, aren't you?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49THEY LAUGH
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Well, it's a highly collectable wee thing and I think it's lovely.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55So, estimate, £200 to £300.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00We'll perhaps put a reserve price of 180 on it
0:13:00 > 0:13:05and take it to auction and I'm sure it will do very, very well.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Thank you so much for bringing it along.- Thank you.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14'Now, that's what I call a very fluid valuation.'
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Well, we are now halfway through our day and people still keep pouring in
0:13:18 > 0:13:20all laden with antiques and collectables.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24But right now, it's time to put our first valuations to the test.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27We've found some real gems, so let's find out what the bidders think.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31We're making our way to the auction room and we'll leave you with a quick rundown
0:13:31 > 0:13:35to jog your memory of all the items that are going under the hammer.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39'I rather think Anita fell for the doll's highchair.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42'It'll do well if the doll collectors are there at the auction.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48'The Nepalese Kora sword is quality, looks authentic and the provenance sounds right,
0:13:48 > 0:13:52'so I imagine it will shortly be in the hands of a new owner.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58'And with its George III hallmark, I think Deborah and Beth's beautiful silver wine funnel
0:13:58 > 0:14:00'will definitely be the one to watch.'
0:14:06 > 0:14:10You've seen the items our experts have picked out at the valuation day.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15I think there could be one or two surprises. This is where we're putting the valuations to the test,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Bigwood Auctioneers and Valuers in Stratford-upon-Avon.
0:14:18 > 0:14:24So let's go inside and catch up with our owners, because I know they're feeling really nervous.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27'The auction room's looking busy, which is always a good sign,
0:14:27 > 0:14:33'and we have two auctioneers selling our lots today, Steven Kay and Christopher Ironmonger.
0:14:34 > 0:14:40'And we're kicking off with Christopher, who'll be selling the doll's highchair belonging to Cath.'
0:14:40 > 0:14:43The country's full of people that collect dolls
0:14:43 > 0:14:46and they should want this next item, cos it's a doll's highchair.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50And hopefully they're here to buy it, because we've got £80 to £120 on this.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- This was your mum's.- Yes.- So did she have a doll sitting on it?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- No, she had a collection of dolls. - Did she?- Yes.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- So I think it was part of that. - It's a stunning little example.
0:14:59 > 0:15:05It's a nice wee thing. It folds over and it's a little sort of chair, a low chair.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10- So we've got two functions there, and it's very, very sweet. - It's metamorphic furniture!
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- So we should get twice as much money! - THEY LAUGH
0:15:15 > 0:15:20341 is the Victorian doll's metamorphic highchair.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23There it is. Lovely little chair it is indeed.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Who's going to start me? £80 for it?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Come on, where's all the hands?
0:15:28 > 0:15:3160 I'm bid. 60. 70. 80.
0:15:31 > 0:15:3580. 90 is it? £80 over here by the stairs.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37I'll sell it. 90 if you want to carry on.
0:15:38 > 0:15:4190. 100. 110.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45100 by the stairs here. You're out over there.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48At £100. 110 possibly might do it.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53At £100. Are we all finished at 100?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- Hammer's gone down.- Yes. - Well done.- That's good.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- Good valuation, Anita. You happy with that?- Yes.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01There is commission to pay, it's 15 percent plus VAT here.
0:16:01 > 0:16:07It does vary from saleroom to saleroom, so do check the details in the catalogue, it's printed there.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12- Well done.- Thank you very much. - That's a meal out. Treat yourself.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16'Anita was spot on mid-estimate, Good show.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19'Thomas is up next, and this next lot was a sharp choice.'
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Well, we definitely are at the cutting edge of saleroom
0:16:26 > 0:16:30because just going under the hammer we've got that lovely Nepalese sword.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35- 150 to 250? - Yeah. I think it's got a very good chance of making a little bit more.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39These aged weapons have really taken off.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43We'll find out if we are at the cutting edge because it's going under the hammer now.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50The late 19th, early 20th century Nepalese sword.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I've got 160 here. 170? 160 on the book.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57At 160. 160. I'm going to sell it.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02At 160. With me on the book at 160. Is it 170 in the room now?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06At 160. Your last chance to bid.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08160, the bid's here.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- 160.- Sold for 160.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14It wasn't the hammer going down, it was the sword going across. Happy?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Yes.- That'll do nicely.- It'll pay for a rewiring job on the bike.- Is it?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Yeah.- Repairing it in the front room?
0:17:20 > 0:17:25I have to have them in the garage now. Used to be in the bedroom.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31'I think Thomas would've liked a little more for that, but it did sell within estimate.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34'Now we have something a bit special for the silver collectors.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37'That Georgian silver wine funnel. And a change of auctioneer.'
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Deborah, why are you flogging this?
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Well, Bethany's hoping to go to university in October.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Congratulations. Where are you going?- Loughborough.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51And students haemorrhage money! I know what you're going to say.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- They do, don't they?- Yes. - So it's going towards the fees.- Yes.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00- Have you got your accommodation sorted out yet?- I have. - You're feeling positive.- En suite.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04That's a really good move, cos you do not want to be sharing a bathroom
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- with four guys, do you?- No.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08- No?- No.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13- Have you ever had to share a bathroom with three or four guys? - Only the men I was married to.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15THEY LAUGH
0:18:16 > 0:18:20The wine funnel. George III.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Unusual assay office, Newcastle.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Doesn't turn up that often.
0:18:25 > 0:18:31£100 to start me? 100 I've got. 110. 120. 130. 140.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36150. 160. 170. 180. 190. 200. And 10.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38220. 230. 240.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- This is good. - 230 with you, sir. 240. 250.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46260. 270. 260 I have here. Anyone else?
0:18:46 > 0:18:51270. 280? 290. 300? And 10?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53320? 330?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56340. 350.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58340 I've got. Anyone else? 350 over there.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02360. 370. 380.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04390. 400.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06And 10. 420.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08430.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10440. 450.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12460. 470.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16460 I have. Anyone else?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- £460!- Yes!- Hammer's gone down!
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- What a good result, eh, Beth?- Yeah.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- I'll be having my en suite. - That will set you off on your journey to uni.- It will.
0:19:28 > 0:19:34'That was a good result, which is what you'd expect with such a fabulous item.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37'What a brilliant end to our first trip to the saleroom today.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39'Time now for a change of pace.'
0:19:51 > 0:19:54'What can be more beautiful than a garden on a summer's day?
0:19:54 > 0:19:58'And this one's right in the heart of England.'
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Hidcote Manor in Gloucestershire is a charming, delightful house.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08It's so quintessentially English. But its real merits lie beyond these gates.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Because, without doubt, it has one of the most outstanding gardens in England.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15It was created in the early part of the 20th century
0:20:15 > 0:20:19and it's the first ever gardens to be taken on for its horticultural merits
0:20:19 > 0:20:22by the National Trust, back in 1948.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38'The garden, which is Arts and Crafts in style, was the lifelong work of Lawrence Johnston.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41'His mother, the formidable Gertrude Winthrop,
0:20:41 > 0:20:45'a wealthy twice-widowed American, bought Hidcote in 1907.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54'It came with a hamlet of cottages, but no garden to speak of,
0:20:54 > 0:20:58'just a collection of rose beds and a huge cedar of Lebanon.'
0:21:00 > 0:21:04So, what is an Arts and Crafts style garden? Good question!
0:21:04 > 0:21:09It's the Edwardians turning their backs on what they considered to be Victoria conformity,
0:21:09 > 0:21:13let's say rows and rows of regimented, gaudy bedding plants,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15which was all the rage at the time.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20Lawrence Johnston described Hidcote as "a wild garden within a formal setting."
0:21:20 > 0:21:24It was a romantic vision, an artistic vision, and he certainly got that right,
0:21:24 > 0:21:29with the use of old-fashioned flowers and traditional garden crafts, such as topiary.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33That, with a combination of natural materials, like the stone I'm walking on,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35and wood left in the round for all the arbours,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38created a cottage-like atmosphere,
0:21:38 > 0:21:42one the harked back to the pre-industrial world.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49'Lawrence was a man of 36 when they arrived here.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51'He'd already been off to fight in the Boer War
0:21:51 > 0:21:56'and had become a naturalised British citizen, in love with his adopted English heritage.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01'In the seven years he and his mother lived here, before the start of the First World War,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03'most of the garden was close to the house.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06'It took many years for it to grow to its current size,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09'spreading slowly out into the surrounding countryside.'
0:22:09 > 0:22:14This is his starting point. The garden is divided up into rooms which extend out from the house.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17This is key to the Arts and Crafts idea.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Many gardens are divided up with walls, but here,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23they're divided with beautiful box and yew wood hedges.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42This area is now known as the White Garden,
0:22:42 > 0:22:46and when you look around and take it all in, it's absolutely stunning.
0:22:46 > 0:22:52It's subtle, it's clever, and I wasn't surprised to find out that Lawrence was a keen painter.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54It shows the eye of a true artist. Just look at it.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05And another great thing about having different themed rooms within the garden is
0:23:05 > 0:23:08there's many inviting doorways for you to walk through.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22There are 28 garden rooms here at Hidcote. The closer they are to the house, the more formal they are
0:23:22 > 0:23:27and then gradually, the further away they get, they start giving way to nature and wilderness.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36It's a highly creative, personal statement
0:23:36 > 0:23:40and the great thing is, it's all on a wonderfully human scale.
0:23:42 > 0:23:48Walking around the garden, Lawrence constantly surprises. Some rooms are bursting full of plants.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Others are left quite sparse.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53And it's these contrasts that make it so incredibly exciting.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Gardens like this just don't happen overnight.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Lawrence worked on the design for well over 23 years
0:24:12 > 0:24:14and he created this room, the one I'm in now,
0:24:14 > 0:24:18upon his return from fighting in the First World War.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23Now, nobody knows for sure why there are 22 English yew pillars here.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Maybe it's no coincidence that there were 22 fellow officers in his regiment.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45And in total contrast, you've got the Rose Walk.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Now, this is absolutely stunning.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51In fact, it's breathtaking, especially on a gorgeous day like this.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Looking at these wonderful deep beds, you can see splashes of colour everywhere.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59That's the eye of an artist. It's like his palette board.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02But it's also the eye of a very keen plantsman.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Many of the examples you see here Lawrence gathered on his planting-hunting trips
0:25:06 > 0:25:11to far-flung places such as South Africa, China and Turkey.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21'It was for this, and his contribution to horticulture,
0:25:21 > 0:25:26'that in 1947, he was given the highest accolade of the Royal Horticultural Society,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28'a gold Veitch Memorial Medal.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34'Not only had he introduced many new plants,
0:25:34 > 0:25:38'but he'd created one of the most influential gardens of his time.'
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Well, here we have it. This rock bank is a reconstruction
0:25:43 > 0:25:47of what Lawrence would've come across on one of his plant-hunting expeditions,
0:25:47 > 0:25:51and I absolutely love this part of the garden, because here it blends in effortlessly
0:25:51 > 0:25:54with the Gloucestershire countryside.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56A classic end to an Arts and Crafts garden.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12'Back at Warwick Castle, our team of experts are still at full tilt.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19'Keep watching, because later in the show, we have a priceless moment,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22'one that I thought I would never see.'
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Unbelievable! Unbelievable! - Thomas is lost for words.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34'But right now, Anita is delighted with a platter belonging to Sue and daughter Jane.'
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Welcome to "Flog It!" and I'm delighted that you've brought in
0:26:39 > 0:26:44this wonderful strawberry dish. Tell me, where did you get it?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47It's my husband's auntie's, so it's Jane's great auntie,
0:26:47 > 0:26:52and I think she was given it. She's had it 30, 40 years
0:26:52 > 0:26:56and it's been on a coffee table just inside, just stuck there,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58and she's had soap in it.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02SHE LAUGHS She always thought there was something missing.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Did you like it when you inherited it? Have you enjoyed having it?
0:27:06 > 0:27:11Yeah, it has been nice, but we're so scared of it getting broken with grandkids.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13And what does your lovely daughter think about it?
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- It's not of my taste. - THEY LAUGH
0:27:17 > 0:27:23Interestingly enough, this type of ware has gone out of fashion a wee bit.
0:27:23 > 0:27:29It is a Victorian piece. But younger people are not as interested in it
0:27:29 > 0:27:33as older folk are.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38It's Majolica, which is a tin-glazed earthenware.
0:27:38 > 0:27:44And we love it because of the sort of luscious singing glaze.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47It's almost translucent. It's lovely.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50And we can see the strawberries here.
0:27:50 > 0:27:56It would've been used to pile your strawberries on
0:27:56 > 0:28:02on a beautiful day like today and you have your little cream jug beside it.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06We've had this all this time and I never realised it was strawberries.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- We learn something every day. - Which is really brilliant.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14Now, if we look at the back of it, Sue, we can date it.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19And we have on here, this is what we call a registration lozenge.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23I've checked it out and the date of it is 1873.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26So it's a substantial age.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30It's in remarkable condition for that age.
0:28:30 > 0:28:36We have a wee hairline crack here, which makes a wee bit of difference value-wise,
0:28:36 > 0:28:42but I'm not considering that terribly important.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47Now, the make of it. We see no maker's name on the back.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51It's quite possible that it could be Mintons or Wedgewood
0:28:51 > 0:28:54or George Jones, one of these.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57I'm thinking that it's probably Jones,
0:28:57 > 0:29:04because I would be expecting a Wedgewood or a Mintons to be slightly heavier.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06I see, yeah. OK.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09- Why are you selling it? - She's getting married in August
0:29:09 > 0:29:12and my other daughter's had a big extension,
0:29:12 > 0:29:14so we could do with the cash.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18- Children always cost you money! - As they get older.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22It never stops, but it's always a pleasure.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- It'd buy us a bottle of champagne, wouldn't it?- Yeah.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29Well, I hope that it buys maybe a magnum of champagne.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- And her auntie would appreciate that. - I think that's a lovely idea.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37We'll put it in with an estimate of £100 to £200.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41We'll put a firm reserve of £100 on it
0:29:41 > 0:29:48and hopefully it will fly away and will buy you a good few bottles of champagne for the wedding.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51You never know. We'll toast you. THEY LAUGH
0:29:53 > 0:29:56'What a lovely thing to spend the money on, a family celebration.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00'Thomas's attention has just been grabbed by a quirky little fellow
0:30:00 > 0:30:03'belonging to sisters Miranda and Ruby.'
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- Girls, tell me, who actually owns this item?- My mother owned it.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- Your late mother. So you girls are sisters?- Yes. - Never would've guessed.
0:30:13 > 0:30:21- Of course. And what brings you here? - We've come along to see if we can see how much this is valued at, please.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- You're talking about your biscuit barrel.- Yes.
0:30:25 > 0:30:30Well, if I take the lid off, it helps us here. Look.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33McVitie and Price Biscuit Manufacturers
0:30:33 > 0:30:37to HM the King and the Prince of Wales. There we are.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Edinburgh and London. Nicely printed there.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- Obviously, it is a biscuit tin.- Yes.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48But what I liked about it was the object itself.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52A biscuit tin could just be a plain, simple rectangular or square tin.
0:30:52 > 0:30:58But people then decided, "No, we don't want to do that, we want to make interesting objects,"
0:30:58 > 0:31:02and that's what's important about this, the design and the lithography,
0:31:02 > 0:31:05which is the feathers, the painting,
0:31:05 > 0:31:08the printing on it and the moulding.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- It's quite a difficult thing to have done.- Yes.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15And it would've been quite expensive as a biscuit barrel.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20- Yes.- Cos it's more difficult to make and there's certainly more integral parts.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- There's a base and then you've got the sections and the lid.- Yes.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Do you think your mother had it in the twenties?
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- She may have done. - When was she married?
0:31:31 > 0:31:331952.
0:31:33 > 0:31:361952. So I think it could've been her mother's.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- It might have been. - I think it's Deco.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Or if it wasn't that, it was the people she worked for.
0:31:42 > 0:31:47She worked for different people, you know, when she was younger, so...
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- What was she doing? Was she in service?- Service, yeah.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54I think it might have been that, because this would've been quite an expensive item
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- and it's a bit of a frivolity to spend money on a biscuit barrel. - Yes.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02So it would've been probably something which maybe the household were getting rid of
0:32:02 > 0:32:07- and she acquired it that way. - Yes.- But it's from that period,
0:32:07 > 0:32:10pre-war, 1920s I would've thought, maybe a little earlier.
0:32:10 > 0:32:16And it's also got so many facets to why it's interesting.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21You've got the interest because of the design, the printing, the lithography,
0:32:21 > 0:32:24the way it's made, and advertising, as well.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28So, the important question. What do you girls think it's worth?
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Well, we haven't got a clue, actually.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- Not even a Scooby?- No.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- Nothing?- No. - We've never had it valued.
0:32:35 > 0:32:41Well, I would've thought you're going to get between £50 and £80 for it at auction.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43How does that grab you?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- Yeah. That's fine. - Is that all right?- Yes.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48- Can we put a reserve on it?- Yes.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- Around about £40. I think that gives the auctioneer a bit of leeway.- Yes.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56And then he might be able to start it and move on from there.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00- But it's quite nice.- Yes. Yeah, that's good. Thank you.
0:33:00 > 0:33:06'Biscuit barrels are not my area, so who knows, maybe it could fly away.
0:33:07 > 0:33:13'We're having a brilliant day here at Warwick Castle and it's just about to get better.'
0:33:14 > 0:33:18Helen, you've absolutely made my day. I'm in love with these.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Big cats. Aren't they wonderful?
0:33:20 > 0:33:23OK, tell me the story. How did you come by them?
0:33:23 > 0:33:27I inherited them about ten years ago from my grandparents
0:33:27 > 0:33:31and they came to them via my nan's sister,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34who was a domestic for the sculptor.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- You're joking!- No. - Oh, my gosh! Such provenance!
0:33:37 > 0:33:42- Direct from the artist.- And they've been in your family a long time. - Every since then, yes.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Frank Lutiger.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Unbelievable. A Swiss artist, but he did live in the Midlands.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50I think so, yeah. So I believe.
0:33:50 > 0:33:56- Incredible, isn't it? He was born in around 1870, somewhere around there. - Yeah, something like that.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- Yeah.- Oh, wow!
0:33:59 > 0:34:04- What do you do for a living? - I'm a full-time artist.- It doesn't get much better than this.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08- So you can really appreciate these. - Yes, I can definitely appreciate the skill.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- You know what's coming next, don't you? What my next question is? - Go on, then.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- Do you really want to sell them? - I do and I don't.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18I don't really have room for them.
0:34:18 > 0:34:23I've got quite a small house and a family, so I don't really have room for them
0:34:23 > 0:34:28and I guess it's time for them to go to somebody who would really appreciate them.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32OK. Well, look, I've done a bit of research on Frank Lutiger.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34He was very prolific in the 1920s.
0:34:34 > 0:34:40He did specialise in big cats. He loved lions and cheetahs and tigers. Absolutely adored them.
0:34:40 > 0:34:45Interestingly enough, this one was modelled in 1925.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47You've got this large cat picking at a bone.
0:34:47 > 0:34:52But look at its muscle tone. And look at those variegated hues in the bronze.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- That's what you want. You want the rub.- Yeah.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59And this one, modelled in 1926. So they're a year apart,
0:34:59 > 0:35:02which is quite nice, because it means it's easier to put a value on them
0:35:02 > 0:35:06- and to split them up into two separate lots, if that's what you want.- Yeah.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10Now, what sort of figure have you in mind for these two?
0:35:10 > 0:35:16Erm, I don't know. I would hope that they would fetch about £500 each.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Do you know, you're spot on. You are absolutely spot on.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22I was going to hedge my bets and say £400 to £600,
0:35:22 > 0:35:29but I'd be quite happy to put these into auction with a value of £500 to £700 each,
0:35:29 > 0:35:32with a reserve at £500,
0:35:32 > 0:35:35because they have such a wonderful impressionistic look.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39Considering he flourished in the 1920s, that's the Art Deco period,
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- you'd think it to be more Deco-looking.- Yes.
0:35:42 > 0:35:48But this is so impressionistic. It's very loose and I really like that because it's timeless.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50And I think we'll find a bigger market for these.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54I hope so. Hopefully, they'll be worth more, but I'd be happy with that.
0:35:54 > 0:35:59I thought you were going to give me a tough time and say, "They are worth £800 each, let's start there."
0:35:59 > 0:36:02No, you know the business better than I do.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- I've never sold anything at auction. - It's a funny old game.
0:36:06 > 0:36:12You've got to get people interested, not put them off at the first hurdle. I'd be happy with that.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- I can't wait for this moment, and I bet you can't, either.- No, I can't.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- HE LAUGHS - See you at the auction room! - Thank you.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23'They are just stunning. I hope you agree.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27'Who wouldn't like to own those beautifully sculpted cats?
0:36:28 > 0:36:32'Before our lots go under the hammer, let's take another look at them.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36'The Victorian tin-glazed earthenware plate, dated 1873,
0:36:36 > 0:36:40'perfect for strawberries and cream in the garden on a summer's day.'
0:36:40 > 0:36:43'And you could add some homemade shortbread if you'd like,
0:36:43 > 0:36:48'if you'd also brought the bird-shaped biscuit barrel, which is brimming with personality.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54'And finally, my choice, the two bronze big cats, dating from the 1920s.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57'They're sleek and wonderfully modelled.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05'Steven Kay is putting our first item under the hammer.
0:37:05 > 0:37:10'It's the strawberry dish owned by Sue, who's brought Malcolm, her husband, along for moral support.'
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Sue and Malcolm, good luck. It's that lovely Majolica strawberry plate.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20It's a good, solid, traditional antique.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24The hairline crack won't put too many collectors off, because it's tin-glazed
0:37:24 > 0:37:30and I've seen these things sell with great big gouges and chips out of them. So good luck. Here we go.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35The Majolica strawberry serving platter.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40I have some bids here on the book and I can start at £130. 140?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46I'm on the book at 130 and I'll take 140.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50I'm going to sell at 130. Anyone else?
0:37:51 > 0:37:57- Good price, good price.- Yeah. - Happy?- Oh, yes, more than happy.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- What are you putting the money towards?- A wedding. - A wedding?- In three weeks.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- Whose wedding?- Jane, my daughter. - Your daughter.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- So we'll drink to you, Anita. - Thank you!
0:38:10 > 0:38:13'Celebrations all round, then. Before the sale,
0:38:13 > 0:38:19'I asked auctioneer Christopher Ironmonger his thoughts on Helen's sculpted bronze cats.'
0:38:21 > 0:38:27My eyes lit up at the valuation day when Helen arrived carrying these two big bronze cats.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31"Oh, my gosh. Yes, please. Hopefully you want to sell them and I'd love to value them."
0:38:31 > 0:38:35Her family knew the artist when he lived in England for a few years
0:38:35 > 0:38:40and we've put £500 to £700 on each one and separated the lots.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44I like them. I think they're very typical of his work
0:38:44 > 0:38:49- and you could say shining examples, really.- Exactly.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54I think, to the right collector, for someone who wants to make an investment, they're an ideal lot.
0:38:54 > 0:39:00Hopefully, they'll stay together. I'm hoping the same person buys them. But you never know.
0:39:00 > 0:39:06- It would be a nice thought. Things often do go like that, but we'll see.- I can see these in a gallery.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Yes. I think that the attraction of the subject is half of it
0:39:10 > 0:39:14- and the quality of his workmanship. - Has there been much interest?
0:39:14 > 0:39:20- A fair bit of interest. We've got other bronzes in the sale, so we'll see.- It's in good company.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23- It'll be interesting to see which does the most.- I suspect that one.
0:39:23 > 0:39:30It is down to the appearance that people go for, as well as the art in it.
0:39:30 > 0:39:35- Right now, it's down to you. It's time to go on the rostrum and put them under the hammer.- Indeed.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47- Have you seen your big cats in the room?- I have. I had a little twang.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- Did you have a flutter?- Yeah, I did. - This is it. I'm scared now.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54They're split into two lots and we're looking at around £500 to £700. Let's go.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01The cast and patinated bronze and model cat.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05And he's a very handsome chap there, resting on his haunches.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08And I'm bid 400 on the book here. At 400.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Is it 50 now?
0:40:11 > 0:40:15At £400. 420 is it? 420. 440?
0:40:15 > 0:40:19440. 460. 480. 500.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22500. 500? 500.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25520? At £500 and it will be sold, make no mistake.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27At £500, are we done?
0:40:27 > 0:40:31- Yes.- Ooh!- First one's gone. That was my favourite.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34- Yeah, you liked that one, didn't you? - Yeah.- That's on the wooden base.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42This is the other cast and patinated bronze, another seated cat.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44This one's dated 1925. Signed again.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50And I've got a 500 bid. At 500. 50, is it?
0:40:50 > 0:40:55At £500. It's going to sell at £500. 20 anywhere?
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Just give you the last chance. At £500.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Gone again. £1,000.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Wow. Thank you!
0:41:03 > 0:41:05- We did it, didn't we? - Yeah. Big, deep breath.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09- Thank you for bringing them in. They're beautiful.- Pleasure. Thanks.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13'Well, Helen will miss her cats, but I'm sure the money will come in handy.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17'Now, from the sublime to what some people might call the ridiculous.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20'The biscuit barrel belonging to sisters Miranda and Ruby.'
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- I know why you've got to sell. You can't divide it up, can you?- No.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Unless you share it part of the year. What a thing, Thomas!
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- It's great.- It's full of nostalgia and quirkiness!
0:41:31 > 0:41:35- It's so British and so much fun. - Let's find out what the bidders think.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38It's under the hammer now. Let's hope we fall off our perch.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42The McVitie and Price biscuit tin,
0:41:42 > 0:41:45fashioned as a bird with a detachable head lid.
0:41:45 > 0:41:50Very unusual little item. I can start at £80. £80. Pardon?
0:41:50 > 0:41:52180 we've got. 180.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55180? 200. 220.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59230. 240. 240 and I'm clear. 250 there.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02260. 270. 280. 290.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05290. 300. 320.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07340. 360?
0:42:07 > 0:42:10I didn't expect that much.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13400. 420? 420?
0:42:13 > 0:42:15420. 440. 460.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17480? 480. 500.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20520? 520. 540.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- 560.- Is this our lot?- Yeah.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26620. 640. 660.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29680. 680. 700?
0:42:29 > 0:42:32700. 720. 740.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- You didn't have a load of sovereigns inside there, did you?- No!
0:42:35 > 0:42:38800. 850. 900.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40900. 950.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43950. 1,000. 1,000.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46£1,000!
0:42:46 > 0:42:501,050 it is. By the stairs at 1,050. Are we all done and finished?
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Hammer's gone down. £1,050!
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- Well done, you two! - APPLAUSE
0:42:56 > 0:43:02Hey! There's money is biscuit barrels, isn't there? Thomas.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06- I'm shivering. You guys must be shivering.- Yes.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10Wow! What's going through your minds right now?
0:43:10 > 0:43:13I don't know. It's just shock, really.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17- Unbelievable. Unbelievable. - Thomas is lost for words.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20In fact, we all are. I hope you've enjoyed the show as much as we have.
0:43:20 > 0:43:25It's been wonderful. Look forward to many more surprises to come, so keep watching "Flog It!"
