0:00:01 > 0:00:08For 900 years, Ely Cathedral has stood out proud from the surrounding marshlands of Cambridgeshire.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11And today it's a rallying point for Flog It!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Well, it's now 9:30.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17I suggest we get this massive queue inside and get the show on the road.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Today, Flog It! is taking over this beautiful building.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Leading our team of experts, we have Elizabeth Talbot and Charlie Ross.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Have you met Anthony Andrews?
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Charlie started his career selling chickens.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Now he's a freelance auctioneer specialising in vintage cars and Russian art.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00You haven't got Anthony Andrews in there, have you?
0:01:00 > 0:01:01- I'd love to.- I bet you would!
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Elizabeth's an auctioneer and valuer who runs her own auction house in Norfolk.
0:01:06 > 0:01:13She's been a Flog It! regular for years but her TV highlight has to be a fleeting appearance on EastEnders.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Right now, it's back to the day job
0:01:15 > 0:01:21and that means turning on the sales charm where there are doubts about an item's condition.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Couple of little chips around the edges.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Chocolate chips.- Chocolate chips.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Yeah. Forgivable chips!
0:01:28 > 0:01:33Charlie's on top form but seems to have those vintage cars on his mind.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38It has four bars of chocolate, a respray and four new tyres.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Well, what a fabulous turnout.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45Historically, the nave was used as a meeting place for many local people and it's quite fitting that today
0:01:45 > 0:01:48scores have turned up for our valuation day,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52all hoping they'll be one of the lucky ones to go off to auction later on in the show.
0:01:52 > 0:01:58Right now, let's hand over to our experts and I think Elizabeth has already spotted something.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02She's with Claire and Irene who brought in a Clarice Cliff biscuit barrel.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03What can you tell me about it?
0:02:03 > 0:02:07My mother inherited it about eight years ago from her mother.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- And I think it may have been a wedding present for her.- Right.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12About 1930s, I think.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Do you remember it from your childhood or has it always been hidden away?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Hidden away... recently until my mum moved.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21So did you see it for the first time recently?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Fairly recently. Yeah.- OK. So what was your impact?- Don't know.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- It's an acquired taste, I think, isn't it.- Do you like it, Irene?
0:02:29 > 0:02:34Not particularly. I mean, I watch the programme all the time and it always comes on, doesn't it?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Clarice Cliff is very popular. - But I can't say I...
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- It's not something I'd buy.- No.- No.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Well, that's an honest opinion. I think Clarice Cliff's, for all its fame,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- still something that you either like or don't like.- Yes.
0:02:46 > 0:02:52But what I like about this piece, which is in what's called the Rodanthe pattern, which is the name
0:02:52 > 0:02:54of the flower pattern there,
0:02:54 > 0:02:58is that it's on a shape which I think comes with the Bonjour series.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01As a biscuit barrel, it's a bit more unusual.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I'm used to seeing cups and saucers and plates and
0:03:03 > 0:03:07the pieces which were made in multiples to make tea services and things.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10But something like a biscuit barrel by definition would
0:03:10 > 0:03:14have been made in fewer numbers anyway, so it's rather nice.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18And also, what is very special is the fact that this handle, which is wicker,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21which is all sort of woven and strapped together, is in such
0:03:21 > 0:03:27good condition, and over the years very often what is missing or damaged is the wicker handle.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32- Yeah.- I think, with the exception of just a couple of...
0:03:32 > 0:03:37I mean, I'd really call them nibbles down the outside of the lid here which is teeny, tiny, little...
0:03:37 > 0:03:42almost little chips. The rest of it appears to be in extraordinary good condition.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Does your mother have any stories about it being used?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49She remembers it being on the sideboard and because there was rations in those days,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52they'd fill it and she remembers getting the biscuits out.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57- Right. OK.- Once they were gone, they were gone. The ration for the week.
0:03:57 > 0:04:03Well, I think a realistic estimate at auction would be between £200 and £300.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07And I think at that level it will encourage people to look closely at it and bid up.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12I think in that case it might make a bit more but we're not being greedy at the outset.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- If you think she'll be happy at that...- Yeah. That's fine.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17..we'll put a £200-£300 estimate on it.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22A £200 reserve and we'll make that firm and we'll see you at the auction.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Thank you for bringing it in. - OK. Thank you.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26And worth every penny.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30I'd expect the bidders to be queuing up to take a bite out of that one.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Charlie's with mother and daughter, Jenny and Karen.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38They've brought in two silver boxes which have been handed down through the family.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Where do they come from? - From my parents.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44After they died, everything went into storage.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Right.- And I've been going through all the boxes now. - And you found these.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51What particularly fascinated me was this casket here.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54It is English and it's Victorian.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Oh, right.- And I've had a quick look at the hallmark.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01It's made by Nathan and Hayes of Birmingham.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05What I'm intrigued by is it's 1890.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Now, there is no monarch's head.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14In 1891, they took Queen Victoria's head off, not literally,
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- but we have a ten-year period without her head on the hallmark.- Oh, I see.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Now I always thought that was 1891.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25On a little bit of further investigation, her head was on
0:05:25 > 0:05:29until May 1890
0:05:29 > 0:05:34which means we can date this to June to December 1890.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- That's very good.- That's good, isn't it? It's a good size.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41It's a trinket box. Would have lived on a lady's dressing table.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Would have had jewellery in it and what have you.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I noticed a little bit of damage, sadly.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48But it's superficial. It's just the hinges.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53I looked at the inside and there's a little bent wood liner here.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58And I thought initially to myself, perhaps this had a glass liner.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Then I looked again and I'm pretty certain that this is contemporary.
0:06:01 > 0:06:07So I think it would have had a silk or a satin liner round the outside of it,
0:06:07 > 0:06:12- which would have shone through this open filigree work and looked beautiful.- Yes. It would.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16I like that. I think it's good. Now, the other box is Chinese.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Yes.- And you knew that.- I did. Yes.
0:06:18 > 0:06:24And you can tell from the decoration and I have to say I am not the world's expert on Chinese silver.
0:06:24 > 0:06:31However, a little bit of research reveals it's got the name Luen Wo on the bottom
0:06:31 > 0:06:39who were retailers in Shanghai and if you're really interested, they came from 43 Nanking Road.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Oh, even the address. Lovely.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46They were silver and goldsmiths, 1875 to 1925.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I'd loved to have learnt that and pretend I knew it all but I think I'd have been cheating.
0:06:50 > 0:06:57The other thing I like about this is the cartouche, which is this on the top, is vacant.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01In other words, hasn't got an engraved name on it.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06So somebody could still use it to give as a present and engrave the name...
0:07:06 > 0:07:09a christening date or whatever, on the top, which is lovely.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12What's it worth? This bit of old...
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- I've no idea. - Oh, come on. You must have an...
0:07:15 > 0:07:20When you were driving along here you must have thought... I wonder if it's worth... X.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Karen, did you have an idea?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I didn't know what she'd brought until we got here.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26It was all wrapped up.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- No idea.- Right. You've got no idea.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- I've no idea at all.- I think in that condition it's worth £100-£150.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Right.- Brilliant. - Happy?- Yes.- Miserable?- No.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Perfectly all right.- That, I think, is probably worth £30 or so.- Right.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42My intention is to put the two together.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I'm going to estimate 100-150 for the two.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- OK.- And I think that's a very safe estimate.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I'd like to see a reserve at the bottom end estimate of £100.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Lovely.- We shouldn't sell it for a ha'penny less.- Good.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58They're not worth selling for less. Thanks for bringing them. They're charming.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Two lovely silver boxes ready to be packed up and sent off to auction.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08So we have two items with one more needed for the sale room.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09And Elizabeth has spotted a classic -
0:08:09 > 0:08:14a Georg Jensen brooch belonging to Bridget.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I think this is a beautiful piece of jewellery,
0:08:16 > 0:08:18but I understand that you're possibly not so keen.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20No. It just doesn't do anything for me.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- I don't know why.- So do you know what it is or who it's by?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Yes. I know what it is. - What do you know?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29I know it's Georg Jensen and that's about all I know and he's Dutch.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- You've inherited this, have you? Yes.- It was my grandmother's.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37I mean, Georg Jensen, he lived from between 1866 and 1935.
0:08:37 > 0:08:44So his advanced artistic eye, I suppose, perhaps caught a few people out.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I think you either do like his work or possibly don't and
0:08:47 > 0:08:50and it suits some people and doesn't suit others.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I can understand there's a difference of opinion.
0:08:52 > 0:08:58He originally trained as a sculptor which is probably why he had such an eye for detail
0:08:58 > 0:09:05and certainly naturalistic images which he later referred to quite strongly.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07The silver is Danish silver.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10It's well-marked and he tended to mark his pieces very well.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15But I've never seen this example of a design by him.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18That might just mean I live a sheltered life.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23His earlier works were silver inset with coloured stone cabochons,
0:09:23 > 0:09:28but later on, in the 20s and 30s, his designs became more simplistic
0:09:28 > 0:09:31and plainer in a way, almost silhouettes
0:09:31 > 0:09:34with a hint of design rather than a lot...
0:09:34 > 0:09:39- I've seen other ones on various programmes of sort of birds and flowers.- Yes. Exactly.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42It's a bit difficult cos I haven't seen this exact design sell before,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45but I think instinctively, a pre-auction estimate
0:09:45 > 0:09:50of between 150 and 250 would not be unrealistic and I think
0:09:50 > 0:09:53it could on a better day, with some nice jewellery amongst it,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- make 300 or so.- That'd be nice.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59But I think if you're comfortable with a £150-£250 estimate,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01it will encourage people to look further at it.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Place a reserve of £150 on it which I think should be firm.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Yeah.- And we'll see how the market responds to it
0:10:08 > 0:10:09but I think they'll like it.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- I think it's a good time to be selling it.- Thank you.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Our experts have found their first batch of items so we're off to the sale room.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Somebody could be going home with a lot of money.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Who's it going to be? And what's it worth?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Well, stay tuned and you'll find out.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Here's a rundown of the items coming with us to auction.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Claire and Irene brought in a Clarice Cliff biscuit barrel
0:10:32 > 0:10:35and they won't be too sad to see it go.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Charlie liked these silver boxes belonging to Jenny and Karen
0:10:38 > 0:10:43but he had to phone a friend for help when valuing one of them.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48And Elizabeth really took a shine to Bridget's Georg Jensen brooch.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Our auction is just over the border in the historic town
0:10:52 > 0:10:56of Stamford, in Lincolnshire, at Batemans Auctioneers.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Coming up now, a bit of 20th century modern by Danish designer Georg Jensen.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03It's a gorgeous brooch and it belongs to Bridget here
0:11:03 > 0:11:08who doesn't like it. We've got a valuation of £150-£250.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Happy with that?- Yeah.- Yeah. Let's see what we can do.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Hope to get that top end. - I hope so, too.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17I think it's gorgeous. It's one of my favourite things in the sale today.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I know it's something you would wear.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I would. I would wear this, absolutely.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Unfortunately, I can't, but I'd love to.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28We need lots of ladies to bid on this one so it's going under the hammer right now.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Georg Jensen sterling silver brooch.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Straight in. £50. 50. Five.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36It's that low.
0:11:36 > 0:11:3965 now. Down then at 65. 70, 75,
0:11:39 > 0:11:4280, 85, 90, 95,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44100, 110, 120, new bidder.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- At £120. Done then at 120.- Gosh.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Come on. We need more.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51At £120 with you?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54It's not going to sell. I don't believe that.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59At 125, 130. At 130 now.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02At 130, 135, 140.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Just short, aren't we.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Go one and a half.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09At £140. Anybody else? All done...
0:12:09 > 0:12:13I just have this feeling that you really want to bid.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14At 140 it is against you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- At 140.- No. Can't believe it. - Someone lend him a tenner!
0:12:18 > 0:12:21150. Oh, go on, sir.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23150. Everyone here is behind you.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Yes!
0:12:25 > 0:12:27150.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30140 against you. Done then at £140.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- 150 at the back now. - Yes. New bidder!
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Right at the back, at 150. At £150.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41That was close, Bridget. 150.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43It sold.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46That was agonizing. It shouldn't have been that agonizing.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Sold, only just, though.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- Well... Happy?- Yeah.- Good.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57I've never seen an auctioneer work so hard but it was worth it to scrape through on the reserve.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00More silver now with Jenny and Karen.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05We're looking for £150 at the top end because all the money is going to charity.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- Yes.- Tell us about the charity. - It's Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Norfolk.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Brilliant. What sort of animals are you rescuing?- Anything.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- That's what I like to hear. - They keep them forever.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Do they?- Yes, they do. - Do they take in old auctioneers?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- I could ask them if you like. - I like these boxes though.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- They've lovely. - I like the heart-shaped one.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26What is unusual is its size, it's a really good size.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- It's a shame it hasn't got its silver side.- Yeah. Yeah.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- Yeah. Somebody'll do that. - Good luck.- Thank you.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33The wait is over. This is it.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Silver boxes. Very nice ones.
0:13:37 > 0:13:4050 for these. Straight in. 50 I'm bid. 50. Five.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41Take 60 now.
0:13:41 > 0:13:4560, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85,
0:13:45 > 0:13:4890, 95, 100.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Here in the corner at 100, 110, 120,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53130, 140,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- 150, 160.- This is very good.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- This is encouraging. - That is good, isn't it.- Yeah.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Look. Very keen bidding going on.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Oh, don't do that.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Back of the room. At £210.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09All done at 210. Finished at 210.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- That's very good. £210. - Lovely. Very nice.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Every penny going to the charity. Keep up all the good work as well, won't we?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Yes. Great. I'm really pleased.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22That's more like it. We're really motoring now
0:14:22 > 0:14:25and next up we have that Clarice Cliff biscuit barrel
0:14:25 > 0:14:27brought in by Claire.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30And she's brought along her mum, Jill, for moral support.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Now, Claire, you bought this into the valuation day with mum.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Jill, hello.- Hello.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38But you couldn't make the filming at the very end.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41You waited all day long and you had to go.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Well, you made it now, look. Here we are.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Well, it's never let us down before. You know that.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50There are a lot of collectors that love Clarice Cliff.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I thought the pattern suited the shape of the barrel.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55It all went well together.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58The condition was good. Original handle - often they've dropped off.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Couple of little chips around the edge.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Little chips. Chocolate chips.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Chocolate chips. Yeah. Forgivable chips.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Well, look, good luck.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Hopefully, we'll get the £300 plus.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Yes.- That's what we're after.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13It's going under the hammer now.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Should have two phone bids on this.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Where are you? Clarice Cliff Bizarre biscuit barrel. Let's start at £100.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Straight in. 100. At 100 only. 110,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180,
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- 190, 200, 210, 220, 230.- Fantastic.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34At 240. I've got 240.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Where are the phones?
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- 270.- Great.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- Come on. Come on. - 290. 290. Can't see you, sir.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44300, 310.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49- Go on.- 320, 330, 340, 350.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Go on.- 360, 370.- Go on.- 380, 390.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Brilliant.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56390 with a phone bid here. 390.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- You in at four?- Yeah.- 400.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01410. Back down here at 410.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04This phone at 410. At 410.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05- I sell to the phone.- Go on.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- 420, 430, 440?- She can have it.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14430. It goes then at £430.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Yes. What a lot of money.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- That was sweet, wasn't it? - That was lovely. Yes.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Great result, Jill. Great result.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- It was worth the wait then in the queue and coming to the sale.- Yes.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Thank you for coming in, both of you.- Thank you.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Well, that chap really wanted the biscuit barrel
0:16:31 > 0:16:34but in the end the phone bidder had it.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37We'll be back at the auction room later in the programme
0:16:37 > 0:16:40to witness some heavy weight bidding on one of our items.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Our valuation day is being held in the stunning cathedral of Ely.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57I found a quiet time to have a look at some of its hidden treasures.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Like all of Britain's great cathedrals,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02this place just oozes history.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Wonderful architecture and of course, art throughout the ages.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Ely is over 800-years-old so you will find wonderful stone carvings,
0:17:11 > 0:17:15beautiful sculptures and magnificent stained-glass windows,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18but there's something else you'll find here that's totally unexpected.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Something far more modern.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29As you enter the cathedral through the west entrance,
0:17:29 > 0:17:34you literally walk straight onto this magnificent Victorian marble floor.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38It's designed as a labyrinth. It's symbolic of a spiritual journey
0:17:38 > 0:17:42with all of its twists and turns taking you off in many directions.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46And I've been told if you add the length of these black marble slits together,
0:17:46 > 0:17:48if you put them one on top of the other,
0:17:48 > 0:17:52it's the exact distance from this floor to that ceiling above.
0:17:52 > 0:17:59But what I want to show you is this wonderful sculpture of a cross above me. Look at that.
0:17:59 > 0:18:05And it does one thing. It makes you tilt your head right back so you can go right up into the heavens.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07That's wonderful.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10It was designed by the artist Jonathan Clark
0:18:10 > 0:18:11and it's entitled Way Of Life.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14And again, it's symbolic of a spiritual journey,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17very much like the floor I'm standing on.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20It starts in the darkness at the bottom as you can see,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23working its way up with all the twists and turns.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27And then it comes into the daylight where you see the cross of Christ.
0:18:27 > 0:18:33It was installed in the year 2001 in a pioneering new scheme to introduce high-quality contemporary art,
0:18:33 > 0:18:37hopefully to encourage more people into the Christian faith.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39That's wonderful.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48The cathedral management had made a conscious decision to use contemporary art
0:18:48 > 0:18:51to promote and to provoke the thought about Christianity.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53In a way, that's pleasing to look at.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57The Way Of Life is made of cast aluminium and it has nine sections,
0:18:57 > 0:19:01each differently joined, representing the journey of faith.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Its path is irregular and unpredictable.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10The cathedral is not just a gallery.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14The art is also earning a living. The latest piece to be commissioned
0:19:14 > 0:19:17is this magnificent watercolour by Alexander Creswell,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21possibly the country's finest contemporary watercolour artist.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25It's only the second time in Creswell's career that he's agreed to let a limited edition print
0:19:25 > 0:19:29be lifted from one of his masters and this being the master,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31a few hundred will be taken, signed and numbered,
0:19:31 > 0:19:36with the hope of raising well over £100,000 for the cathedral restoration fund.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41He's captured this so beautifully, look at the colours. It's a kaleidoscope of colour
0:19:41 > 0:19:44with the light beaming right through in great big shafts,
0:19:44 > 0:19:46lighting up the cathedral.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48And there is a glimpse of the Octagon,
0:19:48 > 0:19:55that wonderful piece of medieval engineering by Alan of Walsingham.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56That's smashing.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Ely Cathedral is a melting pot of old and new,
0:20:01 > 0:20:05and it's not afraid to embrace modern styles of art.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09It brings together a unique collection that adds to what must be
0:20:09 > 0:20:13one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24At our valuation day, the crowds are still buzzing with excitement.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25But first, to Elizabeth,
0:20:25 > 0:20:30who's with Liz and a rather impressive WMF silver table piece.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I believe I know what it is, but what do you know of it?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I know very little about it.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I think it's beautiful.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40It belonged to my great uncle who used to buy all sorts
0:20:40 > 0:20:44of bits and pieces at the turn of the century and a little later.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I know nothing at all about it. I know there is a mark on it
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- but I haven't been able to decipher it.- Right. OK.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- You say you like it.- I like it. Yes.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56So why is it here today?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Well, I like art nouveau, I like the design but I haven't really got
0:21:00 > 0:21:03anywhere to display it as I think it should be displayed.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06I'm rather frightened of damaging it
0:21:06 > 0:21:10and I think it needs to be somewhere where it's better displayed.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Centre stage.- Yeah. - It's certainly centre stage this afternoon which is lovely.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17The mark you find difficult to decipher, but I think if I told you
0:21:17 > 0:21:19what it was you would only be able to interpret it,
0:21:19 > 0:21:24is a stamp WMF which I know has appeared many times on Flog It.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28It has a full-blown German name which unlike my colleagues and fellow valuers,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31I'm unable to pronounce correctly so I shall not even try.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34But it's the shortened version of the factory name.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38It was a foundry that was established in 1880 in Germany.
0:21:38 > 0:21:44- And they specialised in pewter and silver and also plated wares.- Yes.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49They were very much at the heart of the art nouveau style.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52This is high art nouveau.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57It really couldn't be more sort of sinuous and it looks as though
0:21:57 > 0:22:00it's about to wobble off the table, it's just got this
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- lovely motion about it. - Especially the handles.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04This is quite extraordinary.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07This is electroplated. It's stamped EP so it's electroplated pewter.
0:22:07 > 0:22:14- It may originally have had slightly more of a silvered finish, a bit more of a shine.- Right.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15I particularly like the butterflies.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19They've used the silhouettes of two butterflies head-to-head
0:22:19 > 0:22:22surrounded by berries and tendrils and then scrolls and leaves.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26It's just magnificent. And the sad thing is that over time,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30many of these creations have lost their glass liners
0:22:30 > 0:22:32because they are fragile, obviously.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35So it's fantastic that you have that lining there.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- I do notice on inspection there is a little bit of damage.- Yes.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41It has been, I think, soldered on, this handle.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43It's lost a little bit of a tendril on that handle,
0:22:43 > 0:22:48which to a perfectionist and the true collector will obviously have an impact on value.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52- Of course.- Nonetheless, I just think it's a very exciting exuberant piece.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Had it been in perfect condition,
0:22:55 > 0:23:00it would have been likely to fetch in the region of between £400 and £600.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- Right.- I think, realistically, in the current market,
0:23:04 > 0:23:09the damage will bring that back down to nearer sort of £250-£350.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Right. Right.- Would you be happy at that sort of level?
0:23:12 > 0:23:17- I think with a reserve of 250, I would.- You would.- Yes.- Good.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18- I would.- Well, we'll enter that.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22We'll put £250 firm on it and then you know where we stand with that.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25And send it on its way and see what happens.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27See what happens.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Well, from centre table to centre stage.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32And John's brought in a concertina.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35But can I get him to play it?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Can you play this concertina, then? - Well, when I was a teenager,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I did have a go at trying to tinker out a tune on it
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- but without much success. - Yeah. Was it Dad's?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47It was my father's, yeah, and possibly my grandfather's.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Could well be, because this dates to 1910, 1920.- Really?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Oh, I didn't know it was that old.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- This is nice. - Yes. It comes with the case.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Yes.- Original case.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00When it's not being used, it's always been locked away in the case.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Let's move that aside and I'm so pleased you've got that
0:24:03 > 0:24:06because it's got its original maker's label.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Charles Wheatstone. Made in London.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13They were the first to patent the free-reed vibrating bellows
0:24:13 > 0:24:15and this was first patented in 1844.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20But the company goes back further than that because Charles Wheatstone Senior
0:24:20 > 0:24:24tinkered with the free-reed moving instrument in the late 1700s.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29- This is fantastic. This is an English-standard 24-button.- Yeah.
0:24:29 > 0:24:35And by the 1850s, Charles Wheatstone took on a Swiss guy.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40He was a screw maker and he was responsible for all the metalwork
0:24:40 > 0:24:44so it really did push the production on a lot further.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Now, I'm not going to pretend that I can play one of these.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Would you like to have a go?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Not really. No.- But the bellows...
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- In very good shape, aren't they? - In very good shape.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59I wondered about that when I got it down from the loft, whether it would be in good shape
0:24:59 > 0:25:04- because it hasn't been looked at for the last 50-odd years.- Wow.
0:25:04 > 0:25:0750 years, the last time you clapped eyes on it.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- That's right. - Thank goodness for that case
0:25:10 > 0:25:11because that really has...
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- It really does the job.- Look at that and you've not even polished it...
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- I did rub the duster over it this morning.- Did you?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Yeah. I must say that I did put a duster over it briefly.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Look, there's the manufacturer's label. Charles Wheatstone.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- And you see it also on the straps. - Very good. Yeah. Yes.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32And I have a feeling if we put this into auction
0:25:32 > 0:25:35with its case, you'll be looking
0:25:35 > 0:25:38at a price guide of £300-£400.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- Really?- But I'm hoping, I'm really hoping, we'll top that.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- On a good day.- On a good day.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Yeah. Do you want to sell this?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Yes. Yes.- Why do you want to sell it now, though?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52It's been stuck in the loft for donkeys years
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- and we've got seven grandchildren.- Right.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56If we could make 350 it'd be great.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- We could give them £50 each. - Yes. I suppose so really.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04We'll put a fixed reserve of £250 on this with a valuation of 250-350.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Right, yes.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Fingers crossed on a good day. - Fingers crossed.- 400-500...
0:26:09 > 0:26:13And our next item's hardly seen the light of day, either.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Where's it been all its life? - In a box.- In a box?
0:26:16 > 0:26:21Derek and his granddaughter, Ria, are showing Charlie a vase.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26- Why did you buy it?- I bought it in the box with other bits and bobs.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- You wanted the other bits and bobs more than you wanted this?- Yeah.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- For decorating the pub.- Oh, right. So you bought a box for...?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- About ten quid.- Ten quid.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- Yeah.- How long ago did you buy it? - About 20 years.
0:26:37 > 0:26:3920 years ago.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Do you know who made it? - Well, it's got Moorcroft on it.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- What's it got on the bottom? - Moorcroft, is it?- Moorcroft!
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Any other names on there?
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- No. I don't think so. - Have you heard of Moorcroft pottery?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- Only through watching Flog It. - The guy, William Moorcroft,
0:26:54 > 0:26:59who was born in 1872 worked for a company called MacIntyre.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03And then in 1913, he formed his own factory.
0:27:03 > 0:27:09- Hence the Moorcroft factory and a lot of Moorcrofts made to this day.- Yeah.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13And this is a series known as Florian Ware.
0:27:13 > 0:27:19It's got some beautiful blue colours round the flowers and gilt decoration
0:27:19 > 0:27:24round the top and this dates from the period when William Moorcroft,
0:27:24 > 0:27:28W Moorcroft, was working for the MacIntyre factory.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31So we know that this is early Moorcroft.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- Yeah.- This is dated pre-1913... - Yeah.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37..which gives it its value.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- Makes it valuable?- Yeah. It's collectable. So there we are.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45So what's come in a box for nothing is worth something.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- What do you think it's worth? Have you ever had it valued?- Never. No.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52I think you should both have a stab at it. Ria, what do you think?
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- £100.- £100. What do you think?
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Dunno, £150?
0:27:57 > 0:28:00We're going up all the time. Right.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Have you ever noticed something about it?
0:28:03 > 0:28:08Well, there is a little chip on the bottom.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11There's quite a big chip in the bottom.
0:28:11 > 0:28:17And this is a real problem with regard to its value, sadly.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21If you look at the gilding here, can you see the difference in colour?
0:28:21 > 0:28:25See how nice and smooth and gold it is here? And you come to here.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28It's been chipped. And somebody's restored it.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30It was done before I had it. Yeah.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- Oh, yes. I wouldn't accuse you of doing this, Derek, would I.- No.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39And the problem is it hasn't been done very well but restoring gilt is
0:28:39 > 0:28:45incredibly difficult to get the right colour and texture onto the gilt.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47So this pot,
0:28:47 > 0:28:49wait for it, without the damage,
0:28:49 > 0:28:53- would probably be worth £300-£500. - U-huh.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55But with the chip,
0:28:55 > 0:29:00it's probably still worth between your values, £100-£150
0:29:00 > 0:29:04which is not bad for a bit of chipped pottery, is it, really?
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- No. No. Not at all.- So I think if you're happy to sell it,
0:29:07 > 0:29:10which presumably you are, cos it's doing no good living in a box.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14- No.- We're going to put this in the auction and estimate it at 100-150.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17The auctioneers will have to put in the catalogue
0:29:17 > 0:29:21that it has some damage, so we're going to say 100-150.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25I think we'll put a reserve on at 100 with the auctioneer's discretion
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- so that if he gets close we'll sell it.- Yeah.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32And it's by an important man and it was done early
0:29:32 > 0:29:35in his career which makes it even better.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37And it is a shame about the damage,
0:29:37 > 0:29:40but nevertheless, somebody will buy it.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43They'll probably re-restore it, do a better job with the restoration
0:29:43 > 0:29:45and they'll live with it and love it
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- which is just as well, cos neither of you two want it!- No. No.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51- Thank you very much for bringing it along.- Thank you.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56So, we've got another three items ready to go off to the sale room
0:29:56 > 0:29:59in Stamford, and here's a reminder of what we're taking with us.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03This impressive table item needs to take centre stage
0:30:03 > 0:30:06if it's to impress at the auction house.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Elizabeth's convinced it's worth £250.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14John's had this concertina stuck away in the attic for 50 years.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18And Derek and Ria don't really like this Moorcroft vase.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Charlie's worried the damage on the base will slash its value at auction.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26The auctioneer's ready so let's get on with our first item.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30It's Derek and Ria's damaged Moorcroft vase.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Bit of damage to the foot which Charlie, you noticed,
0:30:33 > 0:30:36you picked up on that. It's not mint, Derek,
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- unfortunately, we'd be looking at 400-500, wouldn't we?- We would.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- You know, I still think it will do the £150 mark.- I'm sure it will.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Somebody doesn't want to spend £500 on a perfect one,
0:30:45 > 0:30:48and when it's on a shelf you can't tell. Turn it round.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49I didn't notice it actually.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53- Did you not notice it? No.- No. We'd had it all them years.
0:30:53 > 0:30:54- Yeah.- Never even noticed.
0:30:54 > 0:30:59You hadn't learnt much about Moorcroft until watching Flog It, had you? So you brought it along.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Why is he selling it? Do you know?
0:31:02 > 0:31:04For money for his little blue van.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06For his little blue van.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10What's wrong with the little blue van?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- Has he got a little blue van?- Yeah.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20The most attractive of all the Moorcroft vases we've had today.
0:31:20 > 0:31:21Straight in. £50 for that.
0:31:21 > 0:31:2450 I'm bid, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70,
0:31:24 > 0:31:2775, 80, 85, 90, 95,
0:31:27 > 0:31:33100, 110, 120, 130. At 130 now.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35At 140, 150, 160.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37At 160. Here in the room at 160.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42Net, what are you doing? 180 on the net. 190 on the net.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44With the net at 200.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I love the net. Keep going, net.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49200, 220. At 220.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52There's two people on the net bidding against each other.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53240 with the net.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57Keep going, net. At 240.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00My voice is in your house.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02LAUGHTER
0:32:02 > 0:32:05With the net. At £240. Anyone else in the room?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Done at 240.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10250. Back in the room at 250.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Net, I'll take 260.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15In the room at 250. Net, you need to go 260.
0:32:15 > 0:32:20Are they going 260? I sell in the room at £250.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Well done.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24£250.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27That's a cracking result considering it was damaged.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29- Yeah.- A cracking result.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Wow. Little blue van gets some money
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- and I think that you deserve some money, don't you.- Yeah.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39I think that's four bars of chocolate, a respray and four new tyres.
0:32:40 > 0:32:46Once again, the power of the internet bidding helped push the price up on the vase.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Next it's Liz's WMF table ornament.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53Liz couldn't make it but her daughter Goldie is here instead.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55I've never met a Goldie before.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59- No.- Never ever. - I just blame hippy parents.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00Nothing wrong in that, I tell you.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- It's a lovely piece, isn't it? - Yeah, it is quite pretty.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Do you like it?- Yeah. - Could have been your inheritance.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10I'll be reasonably sad to see it go, but we probably need more room in the house.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Well, I know Elizabeth fell in love with it.- I did.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15And I totally agree with your valuation, 250-350.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18It's there and it looks good for its money, doesn't it?
0:33:18 > 0:33:21It does. It's a super example and it's got real presence.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24A lot of WMF you put on the mantel shelf against the wall.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28This you can have in the middle and enjoy it from all 360 degrees which is lovely.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30It's nice to have the blue glass as well.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- It is.- Original.- Absolutely.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36WMF silver-plated centre piece.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38There we are. Very attractive.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42And as our item goes under the hammer it seems our auctioneer
0:33:42 > 0:33:45David Palmer knows something we don't about Goldie.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Does he know what you do?
0:33:47 > 0:33:49He doesn't know what you do.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Ask her what records she holds.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54What sort of records do you hold?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I just throw the javelin so I competed in...
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- For the country?- Olympic Athlete... - Are you really?!
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- So I was at the last Olympics. - Fantastic!
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Anyway, we'll carry on and sell this lot.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- Talk to you about that later.- £200.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09100 I'm bid. At 100 now.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12At 100 only. Take ten?
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Goes then, at £100. And ten, 120,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16130, 140, new money.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20150, 160. At 160.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21This side at 160. Is that it?
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- At 160. You know it's worth more. - Come on.- Surely more...
0:34:25 > 0:34:27At 160. Done and finished then.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29At £160. Net, are you in on this?
0:34:29 > 0:34:33At £160. All done then.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35At 160. Marked WMF.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37- It's not selling, is it.- No.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40At 160. 170, new bidder. 180. 190.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Come on. New lease of life.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45At 200 I'll take your ten. Done and finished then at £200.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- All done at 200.- Didn't sell.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- Didn't sell.- No. Didn't sell. - Not sold, I'm afraid.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55- We had a reserve of £250. - It'll have to go back on the wardrobe.- That's a shame.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58But that's the good thing about protecting things with a reserve.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- It was worth every penny of that estimate.- I think so.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05If no-one's here to bid for it, at least no-one's scalped a bargain either. So that's good.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Another day, another auction room, but quite honestly, I'd get mum to treasure it.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- Keep it a for a few years. - Yeah. It's a pretty thing.
0:35:12 > 0:35:17It's gorgeous. It's gorgeous. We'll look out for you at the Olympics.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21Well, Goldie should keep it and maybe she'll win a few medals
0:35:21 > 0:35:23at the Olympics to join it on the mantelpiece.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Well, I've a feeling our next item will hit gold.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28It's John's concertina.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32You said as long as you get over £300 you don't mind.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35We don't mind. 350 would be better.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Yeah. We've seen them on the show.
0:35:37 > 0:35:4032 buttons, as you know, do over £2,000.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42This has got a few less buttons,
0:35:42 > 0:35:44might not quite get there or it might just.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- You never know, do you?- No.- Yeah.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49- It just might.- Fingers crossed.- Yes.
0:35:49 > 0:35:54It could be, as they say in musical terms, a crescendo, in a moment.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55You reckon!
0:35:56 > 0:35:58This is it. It's going under the hammer.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01The concertina. 200 to start, straight in. 200.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Got to be worth 200. 200 I'm bid.
0:36:04 > 0:36:09At 200 now. 210, 220, 230, 240, 250.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11- It's made its reserve.- At 250.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Make no mistake. 260. 270.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Net or phones?
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Phones come in on this one now.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Get in early. 280, 300.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25At 300. Take 20.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28At £300. 320, 340.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31At 340. Net, keep going.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- Come on.- 340.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39360, 380. At 380.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41At 380. 400, 420.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45At 420. 440 off any of you guys.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46440, 450, 480.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50Fighting it out now, look, on the internet and on the telephone.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53500? 500, 520.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58550, 580,
0:36:58 > 0:37:01600, 620,
0:37:01 > 0:37:04650? 650, 680, 700,
0:37:04 > 0:37:06720.
0:37:06 > 0:37:11750, 780, 800, 820,
0:37:13 > 0:37:16850, 880.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Let's get four figures, shall we?
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Could we be that lucky?
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- There we go. Just done it.- 1,100.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- 1,200.- Unbelievable! Coo!
0:37:27 > 0:37:28This is more like it.
0:37:28 > 0:37:301,300, 1,400.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34Yes. 1,500? 1,400 now.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36At 1,400. Are you in over here?
0:37:36 > 0:37:401,500. 1,600.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43At 1,600. Have you lost your man on the phone?
0:37:43 > 0:37:44It's a good result.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- There's your spending money. - That's it.- A few boat repairs.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Grandchildren. Seven grandchildren will do well, won't they?
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- Excellent.- Yes.- Well done, that's brilliant, well done.- £1,600.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59You know how to pick your subjects, don't you? Great.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Good job you brought that in, that's all I can say. Put it there.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Only done on the day, Paul. Only done on the day.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Well done, Paul. Excellent.- What are you putting that money towards?
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Well, the grandchildren will have a share.
0:38:10 > 0:38:16We're going to go on holiday and we want to get the new boat cover for the boat, side of the boat.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17That'll sort all of that out.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- I think that'll sort it out. - Thank you for bringing that in.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23If you've got anything like that, we want to flog it.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27Sadly, we're running out of time here in Stamford. We've had a wonderful day.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30I hope you've enjoyed the show. So, until the next time, cheerio.
