Episode 2 For What It's Worth

Hello and welcome to For What It's Worth,

where the brightest quizzers and most discerning shoppers

could go home with a top cash prize.

Three pairs of contestants are ready to play

and, in each team, there's a quizzer

responsible for answering general knowledge questions

so that their partner, the picker, can choose an antique item

to add to their collection.

The aim of the game is to amass the most valuable collection.

First up, we have Claire and Charlotte

who are two sisters from Essex.

-Welcome to the show, girls. BOTH:

-Hi, Fern.

-Hello.

-Claire, you'll be trying to pick the top lots today.

-Yeah.

Do you have a passion for anything in particular?

I just basically like one-off pieces, individual bits.

What are your favourite pieces at home? China? Jewellery?

Pictures. Basically artwork, so, yeah.

Well, sitting next to you is your sister, Charlotte.

Charlotte, you are the general knowledge quizzer,

the brains for your team. So, as a team, are you very competitive?

Yeah, we like to aim high and see how far we can go.

Well, well, best of luck to you. Let's see what happens.

Next, we have Barbara and Catherine who are from Manchester,

mum and daughter. Welcome, Barbara and Catherine.

Barbara, you are picking the antiques for the team. Are you a collector?

Yes, I've collected a few things over the years.

Silver coins and stamps.

I've got a few editions of those

and some of the silver centenary in the Queen Mother's birthday.

I've got a few pieces of those

-that are worth a bit more than what I paid for them.

-Good.

And, Catherine, your daughter, you are the team's quizzer.

Welcome, Catherine. Do you and your mum agree on most things?

Most but we do tend to go to the local quiz

-and we don't always agree on the answers.

-Ah-ha.

Who generally gets more questions right?

I've usually got the pen so I normally write down what I think.

The power of the pen! "I've got the pen and I shall write that down!"

That's very good.

Finally, we welcome Alec and Philip who are from Leamington Spa

who are great friends and you're at university together at Warwick.

-Absolutely.

-And, Alec, you're the picker for your team today.

What sort of things take your eye? What do you like?

I do collect smoking jackets

under the delusion that it makes me look cool,

which my friends swiftly put a stop to and now I only wear them indoors.

Smoking jackets! Where do you find those?

Just various vintage shops, wherever my feet take me.

Philip, you are the quizzer.

What makes you such great friends with Alec?

That's a good question.

Originally, I thought that Alec was just trying

to discover my hair secrets.

I think he's always been a bit jealous of my whole look,

but, yeah, we've found common ground in our love of literature

and we're quite competitive with each other as well

so it's a good friendship.

That's going to be a good mix. I love this afro.

-How long has it you taken you to grow that?

-Too long, Fern, I'll be honest.

About three years. It's been effort the whole way.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

But it's looking great.

Right, here we go. Let's play the game.

Good luck, everybody, and welcome.

Here are today's lots for your consideration.

16 very different antiques and collectables.

We have a vase,

tea service,

a stereoscope,

a table,

a plate,

a clock,

a camera

and an egg,

a chest,

a helmet,

a toy

and a sample stone,

a chair,

a mould,

some scales

and a shawl.

All very different with very different values.

One is worthless, which means it's worth £10 or less,

and the rest increase in value up to our top lot,

which is worth a whopping £2,500,

and that is the lot to spot because, at the end of the show,

the winning pair will walk away with the cash equivalent

of one of these items.

Earlier, our teams inspected the lots

but could they separate the duds from the Dalton?

-Right, we've got to think about this tactically.

-These are antiques.

Ah, look at all those.

It looks Tudor. That's Tudor rose.

Having a mouse on furniture was a sign of this famous furniture maker.

300, £350.

I don't like that.

See, I don't mind that.

And I quite like enamel. I find it pretty.

-Aubert & Co, have you ever heard of it?

-No, I'm afraid not.

-That's an old Post Office...

-Scale.

They're not in normal weight now, are they?

-Cameras.

-Very collectable, aren't they?

Might be worth something, that.

The only ones I've ever heard of is the Box Brownie

and things like that.

That is silver. It's got PB there.

That could be worth 1,500.

It's not got much weight to it and I don't really like it.

-Pineapple.

-Yeah.

-Where's its leaves?

I'm going acorn.

Is there something in it? I just can't get it open.

It's plate anyway so why do we need to?

Oh. Oh!

-Gone up from £10?

-Yeah, it's gone up now.

That's giving me the creeps. I think that's absolutely hideous.

Don't like it.

I wouldn't say it was expensive.

-That's got numbers so it must have some value.

-Macintyre.

Are you getting a feel for the item there?

You've got to feel the magic behind the item.

That's a difficult one, that one.

Tin. Yeah.

I think this might be worthless.

I'm not a fan of dented, battered tin.

Ah, it's a stereoscope!

Oh, this has novelty value.

18... 1890.

People are going to want to be collected these.

I'd say maybe 100, £150.

I was going to say 150.

-That's delicate work. That's got some value.

-Don't touch it, then.

Is that, like, just a cake tin?

It looks like a jelly mould.

They're quite a big thing

-but they're not usually worth a lot of money.

-No.

This plate, almost art-deco style.

-Wade plate.

-That's not going to be worth too much money.

-No.

I just think that's something you can buy now.

It's all scratched and chipped and it's a skip find.

-There's no markings on it.

-Alabaster.

There is a kind of circumference pattern at the bottom.

I think we should keep an eye out for that.

Cromwellian?

I don't know. I'm looking for any stamp marks on it.

I think this could be a toy.

So I would say the scales.

-Yep, that's my pick. The chair.

-And the clock.

-And the clock.

The egg, the silverware, the clock.

The chair for me, then the stereoscope

and then the sample stone.

Yeah, you sure we've made the right decision?

Joining me is our resident antiques expert Natasha Raskin.

Natasha, what do you make of these lots today?

A brilliant selection today, Fern,

and, just as we have a mixed and exciting lot of contestants

with all their quirks and eccentricities,

we have a really mixed lot of collectables and antiques.

And how has the valuation been arrived at?

Well, it's a joint valuation, really.

I've had a look at everything on view.

I've come up with my estimates and they've been verified

by an independent valuer, so, together, we have placed

what we call the hammer price.

Now, that's the price that a bidder would pay at an auction

when the hammer falls before any auction costs.

As well as those little treasures up there,

we have our mystery lot, which is hidden under the shroud of mystery,

poised to be uncovered at the end of the show to tempt our winners.

It could be priceless or it could be worth peanuts.

We'll be unveiling it later but, for now, it is time for round one.

So I'm going to ask ten general knowledge questions.

Quizzers, if you buzz in with a correct answer,

your picker gets to add a lot to your collection

but, beware, buzz in incorrectly

and you'll be frozen out of the next question.

Quizzers, your picker is relying on you to give them a chance

to grab the good stuff first.

So, fingers on buzzers. Question number one.

Paper copies of which flower are sold for Remembrance Sunday?

-Yes, Charlotte.

-Poppies.

It is poppies. Right, Claire, you're first off.

See if you can get the big one.

Well, we discussed this earlier and it's quite appropriate

because I am a Libran,

so we're going to go with the scales, if possible.

The scales.

You're off the mark, well done.

Question number two.

In which fictional setting would you be if you bumped into Snuffy,

Elmo, Grover...

-Catherine.

-Sesame Street.

Yes, it is Sesame Street.

The last one I was going to say was Oscar.

-So, Barbara...

-Oh, so keen.

I've got my eyes on something.

The chest, please.

The chest. It's yours.

Question number three.

Idina Menzel stars as Elsa in which Disney...

-Yes, Charlotte.

-Frozen.

It is Frozen. Claire, go for it.

We'll take the clock, please.

The clock is in your collection.

Question number four.

Which British fashion designer is best known

for popularising the miniskirt?

-Yes, Catherine.

-Mary Quant.

It is Mary Quant.

-Barbara.

-Do you know, Fern, I think I'll go for the egg.

The egg.

-That is in your collection right now.

-Thank you.

Question five.

Released in 2009, which body part

is the title of Florence + the Machine's debut album?

-Yes, Philip.

-Is it lungs?

It is lungs. Alec, your choice.

Yes, when we are perusing at the viewing gallery before,

I did see the stereoscope giving Phil the eye

so I think we'll get that one, please.

Ooh, the stereoscope kicks off your collection.

Question six.

In the Christian Bible, what is the first book of the New Testament?

That's time up. It's Matthew.

Question seven.

Located in Trafalgar Square, British artist Edwin Landseer

is well known for his bronze sculptures of which animals?

-Yes, Philip.

-Horses.

Incorrect. Lions.

You're frozen out of this next question.

Question eight.

Salami and bratwurst are examples of which meat product?

BELL Yes, Charlotte?

They're...pork sausage.

Correct - sausage.

Claire, you can pick a lot.

Uh...we liked the look of the chair.

Yes, the chair is on its way to your collection.

Philip and Alec, you are now unfrozen.

Question nine.

Which British singer played Jareth, the Goblin King,

in the 1986 film Labyrinth?

BELL Yes, Catherine?

David Bowie.

It is David Bowie. Barbara, you get to choose.

-I'm going to have the helmet.

-Yes, it's yours. It's on its way.

Question ten.

Used in computing, what is the acronym RAM short for?

BELL Yes, Philip?

Random Access Memory?

Correct. Alec, choose something.

I think the pattern on that sample stone is quite appealing.

The sample stone is on its way to you.

Cos it's a pretty pattern? That's your logic?

I like it...

-FERN LAUGHS

-Sorry, Fern.

Oh, this is fun. OK. What have we got here?

Well, Charlotte and Claire in their collection have

the scales, a chair and a clock.

Catherine and Barbara have a chest, a helmet and an egg.

And Philip and Alec have a stereoscope and that sample stone.

Very good. Well, our teams have started to build their collections,

but before they have the chance to add to them,

Natasha is going to give each pair a fact about a lot of their choice.

Now, these snippets of information should give you vital clues

about what it's worth, so choose wisely.

You can choose one of yours, one of the other teams',

or something that is still up for grabs on the grid.

Claire, let's start with you.

Which lot would you like to hear about?

I'd like to hear more, actually, about the shawl.

The shawl, which is still on the grid.

Natasha, tell us about the shawl.

Yes, it's an 19th-century Honiton lace shawl

and as you may have noticed, it is larger than your usual shawl,

but it enjoyed a huge surge of popularity in the 19th century,

when Queen Victoria ordered that her wedding dress

-be made from this material.

-Wow.

This isn't a piece, of course, from that famous garment,

but it's still a good example of a way of making lace

that was skilled and extremely intricate.

Has that shed any light on anything, Claire?

-No, I need to have a little think about that.

-OK.

You have a little think. We'll move to Barbara -

Barbara, what would you like to know more about?

-The camera, please.

-The camera is still on the grid.

Tell us about that, Natasha.

It's a Newman & Guardia Nydia.

Newman & Guardia was a British company,

a prolific producer of cameras

aimed at knowledgeable and demanding clientele,

so not any old photographers.

It features an unusual design for folding,

because the tapering bellows detach from the lens board,

which then swings to the end of the body,

which, at the time, was revolutionary.

Barbara, do you like it any more or any less?

-I like it more.

-Oh, OK. And Alec?

The chair, Claire and Charlotte's chair.

I quite like the look of that.

Natasha, the chair.

Now, this chair was made

by Robert "Mouseman" Thompson, of course,

who always carved a tiny mouse onto all of his pieces,

and if you look carefully,

you will see one scampering up the front leg.

The first mouse appeared around 1920 and it was subsequently modified,

this mouse, in the 1930s or so, to remove the front legs,

because they were prone to breaking off of the wee mousey.

So the symbol is an important identifier

in assessing the age of the piece.

This one dates to around the 1930s, when Mouseman was prolific

and in great demand.

But, intrigued as you are,

can you figure out what the value is?

The value does still remain somewhat a mystery.

However, it's nice to have a bit of clarification on the mouse.

Well, now that you are a bit more knowledgeable about today's lots,

let's give you the chance to add more of them to your collections,

bearing in mind that, at the end of this round,

the team with the least valuable collection will be eliminated.

Three more lots are now available to each pair.

This time, pickers, you target a lot

and then quizzers, you try to secure them

by answering a question correctly, but in this round,

the lots come with their own question categories.

So, for example, if you targeted the toy down there in the middle,

you would be asked to answer a question

either on sporting venues or UK number ones.

Claire and Charlotte, you are up first.

So, Claire, what's your lot?

I'm going to go with the shawl, please.

The shawl. Charlotte, how are you on physics or celebrity gossip?

-I will have a good go at the celebrity gossip, please, Fern.

-OK.

Here is your question.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Kelly Brook

have both dated which British actor?

I don't know. I'm sorry, Fern.

Jason Statham.

So, the shawl stays on the grid.

Catherine and Barbara -

Barbara, what would you like to target?

-Em...the vase, please.

-The vase. Here we go.

Desserts or US sitcoms, Catherine?

-I'll go with US sitcoms.

-US sitcoms.

-Yeah.

Here's your question.

Which psychiatrist hosted his own radio show

on the fictional Seattle radio station KACL?

Frasier.

It was, Frasier Crane. Well done.

Barbara, that vase is yours.

Alec, what would you like to go for?

-I think I'll go for the camera, please.

-The camera.

Definitions or UK number ones, Philip?

Definitions, I think, please.

Yes - as an English student, I think you should.

A septet is a group of how many?

I'm going to go for seven. Sept is French for "seven", so...

It's a guess.

-It's correct.

-Wahey!

-It's correct. Well done.

Alec, the camera is in your collection.

Claire, your go again. What would you like?

Putting Charlotte through the same pain again,

I'd like to go for the shawl, please.

Oh, how lovely! Charlotte, physics or celebrity gossip?

We'll have another go at the celebrity gossip.

Of course. Here we go.

Which former Doctor Who assistant

married Lewis actor Laurence Fox in 2007?

Is it Billie Piper?

It is Billie Piper, correct.

The shawl is yours at last!

Barbara, what would you like?

I'm going to for the tea service, please.

The tea service. Catherine, desserts or landmarks?

It'll have to be desserts, this time.

Here we go - desserts.

Sugar and what else are the two main ingredients

in a British meringue?

Egg white.

Correct. Barbara, the tea service is yours.

Thank you.

Alec, final pick. What would you like?

Philip professed to me earlier that he was scared of that toy.

FERN LAUGHS

So I'm going to go for the toy.

Sporting venues or UK number ones, Philip?

I'm going to go UK number ones.

OK. UK number ones. Here's your question.

Which novelty song by Joe Dolce kept Ultravox's Vienna

from being a number one single?

I'm going to say...

..I Love You.

Well, thank you... LAUGHTER

It's actually Shaddap You Face.

LAUGHTER

So that is incorrect.

Very good. Let's have a look at the situation here.

Charlotte and Claire, you have the scales, the chair,

the shawl and the clock.

Catherine and Barbara, you have the chest, the egg,

the helmet, the vase and the tea service.

Philip and Alec, you have the stereoscope, the camera

and the sample stone with the very pretty pattern on the top.

OK, teams. Your collections are growing.

Now, remember, at the end of this round,

the pair with the least valuable collection will be leaving us.

So, have you missed out on that one item that you want above all else?

If so, here is your chance to secure it.

There is one last lot available to each team.

This time, you can either go for what's left on the grid

or you can steal an antique that is in a rival team's collection.

Pickers, be warned - if you choose to steal from another team,

their quizzer will get to decide your quizzer's category.

Ooh...

Right, Claire, do you want to target a lot from the grid?

Or have you got your eye on something in another collection?

I'll go on the grid, please, and I'll look at the table.

Celebrity gossip or desserts? Charlotte?

-Celebrity gossip.

-Of course.

In 2002, which star of Heathers was found guilty of stealing

over 5,000 worth of goods from a designer store?

I can see her face. Um...

Winona Ryder.

Winona Ryder is correct. The table is yours.

Barbara, would you like to steal

or are you going to take something from the grid?

Um...I'll go for the grid, please. The toy.

Sporting venues or UK number ones, Catherine?

Oh... Neither are really great for me.

I'll have to go with UK number ones.

UK number ones.

In 1984, which band had UK number one hits with Two Tribes and Relax?

Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

Correct.

The toy is in your collection.

THEY LAUGH

Thank you.

Alec, are you going to steal or go the something on the grid?

I'll go for the plate, please.

The plate. Definitions or US sitcoms, Philip?

Definitions has been kind to me. I think I'll stick.

OK, definitions. Here's your question.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary,

the word "bumfluff" is an informal term

referring to hair growing on which part of an adolescent male's body?

Um... I'm hoping it's chin.

It is the chin, of course it's the chin!

Good. Alec, you get that plate. It's in your collection.

OK, that's it for round two

and for one team, it's the end of the road.

we have calculated the combined value of your items

and the team with the least valuable collection will be eliminated,

taking their lots out of the game with them.

Well, Natasha has been keeping tabs. Natasha, who is leaving us first?

Let me tell you. The first team leaving us today...

..is our gentlemen, our young gentlemen,

-Alec and Philip.

-Oh! You've been so lovely.

But I tell you what, before you leave,

-shall we find out the value of each of those lots?

-Yes, please.

Yes, I think so. Natasha?

Yeah, well, this one, you loved it, didn't you?

It's got that real tactile appeal -

you just want to pick up the cards, pop them in the viewer

and look at them, because they are an ingenious bit of engineering.

Double lens technology meant that cards,

when viewed through the lenses, became three-dimensional.

This was a real bit of Victorian fun.

They went wild for these stereoscopes.

You know, unusual slide,

but not an unusual item, really, we would say.

Therefore, although it's from 1896,

it is only worth 20 quid.

Well, I'm sorry to see that go.

-What else do we have?

-Then, we move on to the plate.

Now, you thought it was maybe Art Deco, Philip,

but it is a little later than that.

It's more modern in its style and palette.

It's Wade - 1950s, 1960s Wade -

and you know, actually, even though it is more modern,

it's maybe a little bit more valuable

than some early Wade pieces.

It's worth £80.

So, you know, for a plate, I think you picked quite well.

-What next?

-Then, we went on to the camera.

An interesting bit of design at the time.

This one, it's a bit of a palaver to actually take a photograph

and get it developed, so not much use.

But it has a bit of a high-end price.

Believe it or not, the camera is worth...

£550.

So, a good spot. Well done.

Now, let's go on to this,

because I am quite intrigued by Alec's description.

You just thought it was so pretty and so sweet.

You thought it might be granite, maybe, Philip, on the top there.

But let me tell you, it's actually a mix of marble and mother of pearl.

It's something that the Victorians would use

to sample ointments and treatments and things like that

and it's a real piece of social history

so, Alec, let me tell you what you've spotted today.

Today's worthless lot.

No! LAUGHTER

Less than a tenner and worthless, I'm afraid.

Well, you've done everyone a favour for finding it getting it out of the game.

-Thank you very much indeed. CLAIRE:

-Thank you!

So, what's the total value of the boys' collection?

-Altogether, the four lots add up to £650.

-Oh!

But Alec and Philip, it has been wonderful

having you playing the game.

I'm so sorry that you are going home so soon.

You've been thoroughly entertaining.

But I'm afraid it's time to bring down the hammer on your collection.

Thank you for playing For What It's Worth.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

Choosing the sample stone was indeed my fault

and I placed it in our top three, foolishly.

In fairness to Alec, I didn't say anything against it.

I thought it could be worth something,

so I'll take part of the blame on that.

Don't follow the patterns, I suppose, is the lesson.

PHILIP LAUGHS

Yeah - just because it's a pretty colour

doesn't mean it's worth anything.

The unclaimed lots in the grid are now also leaving the game,

so let's quickly find out from Natasha

what they were worth

and if the top lot is still in the game.

Now, we only have this one thing left.

Tell me about this pussycat mould.

This is not just any old mould. It's a bit of kitchenalia.

It's the spin you put on it, isn't it,

that really makes the difference.

It's a thing or it's part of a genre.

And, you know, yes, it's brass, but it's 19th century,

so this has real appeal.

But does it have real value? Well...

£65 is what it would knock you back in an auction,

so you've done very well to leave it on the grid.

Excellent.

It seems that the high-value items are still in play and,

most importantly, the top lot is in one of your collections.

The bottom lot has gone - thank goodness.

So, just two pairs of contestants left.

Before we go any further, Natasha is going to give you each

another fact about a lot of your choice.

Claire, what lot do you really need to know more about?

I'd like to know more about the egg, please.

This one is a Russian white metal piece

made around 1900.

So we know the date.

It's decorated with filigree work to the exterior

and it sits on a nice spreading circular foot which,

as you figured out, is the opening mechanism.

The whole thing unscrews, therefore,

to reveal another, smaller egg inside

which, in turn, contains a small model of a church.

It's an unmarked, so not an undiscovered Faberge

or anything like that - don't get too hot under the collar.

But the work is undeniably elegant

and so is this egg going to help you win this competition?

Do you like it a bit more, Claire, or not?

Yeah. Yeah, I do, cos initially, we didn't really like it, but...

It's quite intriguing.

-Barbara, what you like to know more about?

-The clock, please.

-The clock, please, Natasha.

-Yes, by all means.

This clock is a 19th-century gilt metal and porcelain mantel clock.

It is marked not Hubert & Co,

but Aubert & Co, London.

It's quite something, isn't it?

Swags, cherub-like putti,

all topped off with an interesting finial

in the form of a pineapple,

the symbol of warm welcome and hospitality.

But the pineapple also represented wealth, of course -

in larger, well-to-do homes,

pineapples were used as a central focus

to lavish displays of food.

But, the question is,

does this clock come with a juicy price tag these days?

Hm... Has that answered any questions at all, Barbara?

No.

LAUGHTER OK - well, you're honest!

Very good. OK - those are all the facts available to you,

so it's now time for our final round and, at the end of it,

we will have our winners.

Now, I'm going to give the quizzers a category

and they then take turns to say answers in that category.

For example, if I say, "Name me some precious stones",

Charlotte, you might say diamond, Catherine, you might say sapphire,

and then ruby and so on.

If you fail to give an answer, if you repeat an answer

or you give a wrong answer,

you lose that category and the opponents' picker

will be able to steal a lot from your collection.

But remember, it is the total value of your collections

that matter at the end of this round.

One high-price lot could be more valuable

than your opponents' entire collection,

so this round is all about defending what you've got,

as well as pilfering your opponents' lots.

There are three categories

and the pair with the most valuable collection at this point

will go first - so, Natasha, who is that?

Well, I can reveal to you that the team who currently has

the more valuable collection is...

..Barbara and Catherine for now.

Oh...!

But, in this round, everything can change.

OK, Catherine, you will start us off and the first category is this.

Catherine, please give me an answer.

France.

Correct. Charlotte.

Germany.

Correct. Catherine.

Ireland.

Correct. Charlotte.

Portugal.

Correct. Catherine.

Sweden.

Correct. Charlotte.

Norway.

Incorrect. Norway is not a member of the EU.

You could have had United Kingdom, Malta,

the Netherlands...

-Anywhere! But not Norway.

-..Cyprus...

OK, Barbara. You can steal.

I'd like the chair, please.

-The chair.

-Yes.

The chair is on its way to you.

Charlotte, you're going to start first with this category.

Here is the question category.

Charlotte, give me an answer.

Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Correct. Catherine.

I'll say Tom Cruise.

Incorrect! Oh...

You could have had Colin Firth, Hugh Grant,

Jack Nicholson, Jamie Bell...

Any of those.

Oh, Barbara's hands are clenched.

There is something she doesn't want to leave her collection.

Claire, what are you going to nick?

I'm going to take our chair back, please.

-Take YOUR chair back?

-Yes, thank you very much!

Here it comes - into your collection.

Third and final category question and Catherine will start this one.

..as reported during the 2015 RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch Survey.

Catherine, please give me an answer.

A blue tit.

Correct. Charlotte.

A starling.

Correct. Catherine.

Robin red breast.

Correct. Charlotte.

A magpie.

Correct. Catherine.

A pigeon.

Pigeon is correct. Charlotte.

A crow.

Can you elaborate on the name?

Just a black crow.

I don't know what they are called.

Charlotte, I'm so sorry,

that's incorrect.

I cannot accept crow.

I could accept carrion crow,

because that is the name on the RSPB list.

OK - you could have had the blackbird, the common gull,

the goldfinch and the pheasant.

So, Barbara, you can steal.

I have the chair back, please!

LAUGHTER

-Musical chairs, it is!

-Sorry.

-It's all right!

That's it - your collections are now fixed

and will determine which team is victorious.

It's time to find out who are today's winners. Natasha?

I can reveal that the team with the more valuable collection,

and therefore, our winning team today, is...

It's mother and daughter, Barbara and Catherine.

Well done! Very well done.

Congratulations to you!

Was it that chair, ping-ponging backwards and forwards?

Well, commiserations to Claire and Charlotte.

You didn't create a valuable enough collection,

but before we say goodbye,

let's find out what items are also leaving the game and their value.

Natasha, let's start with the scales.

We've got the small travelling set to go with them

and we have got the larger set.

They are not postal, as somebody thought -

they are jewellers' scales,

which is why the weights are so small,

keeping those tiny little measurements.

They are not hugely valuable

and when we weigh it up,

they would weigh in at auction

at £195.

So, you know, not cheap, but not hugely valuable.

And next?

Now, Barbara and Catherine dismissed this table as worthless.

They said, "Absolute tat!"

And Charlotte, "a skip find" is how you described it,

"a skip find"

This is an ebonised coffee table

and the Aesthetic Movement was all about art for art's sake.

So, this coffee table sits a little bit uncomfortably there,

because it's not art for art's sake -

it's actually a wee bit functional.

It's got all the hallmarks of the Aesthetic Movement

and it is after a design by EW Godwin,

but...is it valuable?

Is it to your taste? Clearly not.

What if I told you it was worth...

£220?

Not too bad for something you'd find in a skip, all right?

Then it was this rather fabulous clock.

We discussed it earlier and it has everything going for it -

swags and putti and brilliantly, that pineapple finial.

If one of these were to turn up in an auction house,

you would have to pay...

..£700 for this clock.

So, you knew it was of good quality, and I commend you for that.

-It's so feminine, as well, isn't it?

-So feminine.

-Very pretty.

Oh...swish.

And their final lot?

Now, this is one that could be either/or.

This is that Honiton lace, as discussed -

it has that royal feel to it,

but we know it's not part of a royal garment.

It's so delicate - the size is extremely large.

So, it is of high value.

-You picked a four-figure lot.

-Wow.

This shawl would knock you back

£1,250, believe it or not.

-Wow.

-And you believe it, because you loved the quality.

So, it's not our winning collection today,

but let me tell you, your collection came to quite a staggering total.

Your parents will be proud of your expensive taste -

£2,365. Well done.

That was very well played.

Well done, Charlotte and Claire,

but it is time now to bring the hammer down on your collection.

But thank you for playing For What It's Worth.

Thank you.

Well, literally, once they got the question right, that was it -

we had no chance.

They took the chair back and that was it, game over.

They pilfered it from us. But never mind.

Good for them - you know, it is all a game.

We hope they get the top object. We'll see what happens.

Yeah - they're really nice girls.

Well done, Barbara and Catherine.

You did build the most valuable collection

and you are today's winners.

And now, all that remains is for you to claim your prize.

Hm - all you have to do is pick a lot from your collection

and we will give you its value in cash.

As you will have deduced,

that top lot is hiding somewhere in your collection.

But can you spot it?

Have a chat and decide which one you would like to choose.

-Oh...

-Well, the chair goes, for a start.

We'll get rid of the chair,

cos the other two had the chair originally,

and their lots weren't to our value.

So the chair is definitely gone.

-The toy.

-The toy. The toy can go.

-It looks about...1940s.

-The tea service...

-Yeah.

-Don't know what year it is. It could be Georgian, I don't know.

I know we are not going to agree. Um...

I'd personally go for the egg, but...

I'll go with what my mother says. The expert.

-It's 1800s, isn't it? 1800s.

-The egg.

It's either the vase or the chest.

I've got to go with that Japanese chest, to be honest.

I just...think it's unusual.

So, you've chosen the chest.

Well, before we tell you what it is worth,

Natasha is going to tell you

the value of the lots you've rejected.

Natasha?

Yes - will you regret anything, ladies?

Well, let's start off with the toy.

Japanese, 1960s,

it's a mad mother bear who sits and rocks and knits.

Japanese design in general is very collectable

and this one is quite rare.

And so, it is worth...

£200.

So, you did not get rid of the most valuable lot

in the form of the toy, so don't worry about that.

Now, let's move on to our vase.

Now, Barbara, you know your antiques

and this really has style, doesn't it?

-It does.

-It's Moorcroft.

It's Aurelian ware,

so when Moorcroft branched off from Macintyre

and started his own factory,

this was one of his first ranges.

It's quite an interesting piece - small, unassuming, pretty...

Valuable? Well, if you consider

£300 valuable, then yes, it is.

-Yes, so...

-Next?

Then we move on to the chair, and Barbara,

you identified the fact that there was that rose element to it,

so you know, it's a nice piece,

and we all know that anything Mouseman carries a value.

And it's a four-figure lot.

SIGHING Oh, no.

The Mouseman chair is worth...

..£1,000. So, again...

NATASHA LAUGHS

..not today's top lot.

Then we move on to something

that was pretty much dismissed as silver plate.

But it's George III silver.

-I heard you say...

-Yes, I just knew!

You thought it might be Georgian.

In fact, it's dated - from its Edinburgh hallmark,

we can see it's from 1794.

You'd have to be prepared to pay a hammer price

of £1,750.

So, now we're on to Catherine's egg -

here it is, we discussed it earlier.

We know it's Russian, we know it's filigree.

It's unmarked, but it's not an undiscovered Faberge.

All that, we've discussed.

But just at the last minute there,

you said, "Mum, I want to go with the egg."

And Mum said no.

We know that you always do as you're told, Catherine,

but will you regret that?

Ladies, let me tell you how much this is worth.

It pains me to say it...

You're killing me!

..but the egg, Catherine, Barbara -

£450.

LAUGHTER Oh, my goodness!

-I know! Well spotted. It's a nice thing.

-See?

-But not the top lot.

-I know, my mother...

Hey, Mum, this is looking good.

Here we are - on to the helmet.

It's a helmet called a morion helmet.

It's period - probably 17th, 18th century.

It's got that Cromwellian appeal.

And...the market for militaria is booming.

Let me tell you that the morion helmet...

..was today's top lot.

-GASPING

-£2,500 in the pikeman's pot.

Can you believe it? Oh...

OK - Barbara and Catherine, there is your chest, so,

come and take a closer look at it

and see if we can tempt you with our mystery lot,

which may be worth more.

You may be confident that your lot is worth a pretty penny,

but before we tell you its value,

we are going to tempt you with today's mystery lot.

Now, it's very delicate -

an original match day programme

from the 1966 World Cup final between England and Germany.

A huge event, as we all know.

But England went on to win 4-2 after extra time.

But how many of these were printed? That's the question.

And how many survived the glorious celebrations in England on that day?

Would you like to look and have a handle?

-Sporting memorabilia is quite collectable.

-Mm-hm.

How many there are still out there?

Because programmes, of course, aren't made of a precious material.

Be very, very careful with it.

-I'd possibly go with it.

-Would you?

-It's in pristine condition.

It's how many there are...

I know - sporting memorabilia is collectable, but...

-People want it, don't they?

-Yeah.

We are going with the World Cup book.

We'll go with the World Cup book.

It was the first item you chose and you are dumping it in favour

of the 1966 World Cup souvenir programme.

-Yeah.

-Yes.

-OK.

We'd better hear how much this chest is worth.

Now, you thought this had good age to it

and, you know, the front doesn't really belie that, does it?

Especially that lid,

because all those bashes and dents in the wiring...

Barbara was right, it does have good age to it.

1820 is the date of this chest.

And, the thing is, if you tap it, we can see it's not wood.

It looks like papier mache with lacquer,

but in fact, it is tin, and painting on tin in this manner

is known as toleware, so it's a piece of toleware.

We know what it is. We know when it's from

and what is depicted - is a real chinoiserie scene

which was just the height of fashion in Regency England.

And, the thing is, it's actually survived very well.

Let me tell you, the chest that Mum loved so dearly...

It's worth £500.

GASPING

-Was it?

-£500.

This is it, then - this is it, Barbara and Catherine.

What is the value, Natasha, of the 1966 World Cup souvenir programme?

Keeping it in this fantastic condition,

as this collector has done, means that today...

..it's worth £300.

-Oh!

-Slightly less than the chest.

-It was worth a go, though, wasn't it?

-Yeah, it was worth a go.

Today, Barbara and Catherine are going home with £300.

You have played this game so well

and you had seven things in your collection to choose from.

Went with the bloomin' old tin.

LAUGHTER

That's it for today's programme.

Join us next time, when three new teams

try to spot the lot to win the lot on For What It's Worth.

We'll see you then. Bye-bye.

Very, very nice...

I was surprised to learn that the helmet was the top lot.

I knew it was Cromwellian and I had a feeling it was the real McCoy,

but I wouldn't have put a price of £2,500 on it.

We did pick the right ones,

we just didn't pick one at the right time.
