Hello, and welcome to For What It's Worth, the show that tests

0:00:150:00:19

your general knowledge and your antiques know-how.

0:00:190:00:22

Three pairs of contestants are ready to play and each team has a quizzer,

0:00:220:00:25

who has to answer a general knowledge question correctly

0:00:250:00:28

so their partner, the picker, has the chance to choose

0:00:280:00:31

an antique or a collectable and build a collection.

0:00:310:00:33

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

0:00:330:00:37

Joining me today is a woman who is herself a very rare find.

0:00:370:00:41

She is the lovely Anita Manning.

0:00:410:00:43

Lovely to have you here, Anita.

0:00:460:00:47

It's lovely to be here, Fern.

0:00:470:00:49

And what have you brought for us to have a look at today?

0:00:490:00:52

Today, Fern, we have a bracelet.

0:00:520:00:55

A washing dolly.

0:00:570:00:59

A chair.

0:00:590:01:01

A decanter.

0:01:010:01:03

A plate.

0:01:030:01:05

A Bible.

0:01:050:01:07

A cigar case.

0:01:070:01:09

Stamps.

0:01:090:01:11

A carving.

0:01:110:01:13

A watch chain.

0:01:130:01:15

A toy.

0:01:150:01:17

And a banknote.

0:01:170:01:19

Mmm.

0:01:190:01:21

Now one of these items is our top lot,

0:01:210:01:24

which is worth a whopping £2,500.

0:01:240:01:27

That is the lot to spot, because at the end of the show,

0:01:270:01:30

the winning pair will walk away with the cash equivalent of one of their

0:01:300:01:33

items. But beware, because the lots decrease in value,

0:01:330:01:37

right down to our worthless lot, which is worth a tenner or less.

0:01:370:01:41

That, obviously, is the lot to avoid.

0:01:410:01:43

So, who's playing today?

0:01:430:01:45

Let's meet our teams.

0:01:450:01:46

Team one, who are you?

0:01:460:01:47

Hi, Fern. I'm Gavin, and this is my best buddy, Stephen.

0:01:470:01:50

We've known each other for about 40 years and we go around visiting

0:01:500:01:55

car-boot sales and fairs.

0:01:550:01:57

Well, good luck with the game today.

0:01:570:01:59

And team two, who are you?

0:01:590:02:00

-Hi.

-I'm Mark and this is my stepmother, Marilyn.

0:02:000:02:03

And I collect salt and pepper sets.

0:02:030:02:06

Very nice to see you.

0:02:060:02:07

We'll have more of a chat a bit later.

0:02:070:02:09

Team three, who are you?

0:02:090:02:11

Hello, Fern. I'm John and this is my long-suffering wife, Diane.

0:02:110:02:14

We're both from Bridgend and been married for 34 years.

0:02:150:02:19

Very nice to have you here.

0:02:190:02:21

Now, earlier, our teams got to inspect our lots,

0:02:210:02:24

watched over by Anita.

0:02:240:02:26

But will they find a one of a kind?

0:02:260:02:28

-Oh, wow.

-OK.

0:02:300:02:32

-There's a few options there.

-Ooh.

0:02:340:02:35

Let's have a look.

0:02:350:02:36

-It's an Airfix model.

-I wouldn't pay more than 50 for it.

0:02:380:02:41

-There's no instructions, so that will devalue it.

-Right.

0:02:410:02:44

That is a point.

0:02:440:02:45

Not quite sure what type of wood it is.

0:02:480:02:50

-Certainly well done.

-Yeah.

0:02:500:02:52

Cutting a fine figure there, isn't he?

0:02:520:02:54

-He's nice, isn't it?

-Looking dashing.

0:02:540:02:56

Oh, she fancies him!

0:02:560:02:58

-I would say that's probably Chinese or Japanese.

-Mmm.

0:03:000:03:03

It's got a gilded edge.

0:03:050:03:07

This is lovely.

0:03:070:03:08

That's a watch chain.

0:03:110:03:12

But it's very light.

0:03:120:03:14

-Yeah.

-There's no weight to it.

0:03:140:03:16

That is gold, late Victorian, early 20th century.

0:03:160:03:19

Good assessment.

0:03:190:03:21

Bible. And it is in...

0:03:230:03:24

-Welsh.

-It's a Welsh one. Yeah.

-It's a Welsh Bible.

0:03:240:03:27

-That's from the 17th century, I would say.

-I like that.

0:03:270:03:31

Lovely decorative hinges.

0:03:310:03:34

He's catching the detail. That's good.

0:03:340:03:37

There's no perforations around the edge,

0:03:390:03:41

so that's going to make them rare.

0:03:410:03:43

I don't think that's worth very much, to be honest with you.

0:03:440:03:47

I don't think it's silver.

0:03:470:03:48

I don't know, it doesn't seem to be marked. It does look old.

0:03:480:03:52

The enamelling is nice.

0:03:520:03:53

He's looking at the detail, she's looking at the beauty.

0:03:530:03:56

I tell you what, it's been sun-bleached quite a lot,

0:03:590:04:02

so it's a Victorian.

0:04:020:04:03

Doll collectors and teddy bear collectors love these,

0:04:030:04:05

because they display their collection on them.

0:04:050:04:08

Good point, Marilyn.

0:04:080:04:10

A washing dolly, good gracious!

0:04:100:04:14

Heavens to Betsy.

0:04:140:04:16

It's probably 20th century, isn't it?

0:04:160:04:17

It definitely is.

0:04:170:04:19

I don't know. Something about that banknote.

0:04:210:04:23

I think that's something.

0:04:230:04:25

It might actually just be a souvenir.

0:04:250:04:27

Oh, he's lovely. I like him.

0:04:290:04:31

Beautifully carved. Yeah, he's nice.

0:04:310:04:33

Is there any markings on it at all?

0:04:330:04:35

Not that I can see.

0:04:350:04:36

She's looking in the right place.

0:04:360:04:39

Gilding's really good inside.

0:04:410:04:43

Yeah, there's your markings.

0:04:430:04:44

-Yeah. Oh, there's two cigars in there.

-Ooh! Extra value.

0:04:440:04:48

Cigars are not the important part of this lot.

0:04:480:04:52

Probably the Bible is the top item.

0:04:520:04:54

We think the cigar case...

0:04:540:04:55

-Cigar case.

-Possibly go for the Bible.

0:04:550:04:57

-OK.

-Because it's a Welsh Bible, I think it'll be quite rare.

0:04:570:05:01

So we're saying the bottom lot is the washing dolly.

0:05:010:05:03

-Definitely, yeah.

-The bottom one is the James Bond.

0:05:030:05:06

-Dolly is, I think, the bottom one.

-The bottom lot.

0:05:060:05:08

We'll have a think about it, we'll have a chat.

0:05:080:05:10

-And then you can decide.

-And then I'll decide!

0:05:100:05:12

What do you think of their knowledge then, Anita?

0:05:140:05:16

It was marvellous to watch them looking at everything

0:05:160:05:20

and I think we're going to have a few surprises here.

0:05:200:05:24

Are we?

0:05:240:05:26

Excellent. How is the valuation being reached on all these objects?

0:05:260:05:30

The values for each lot have been agreed between myself

0:05:300:05:34

and an independent valuer.

0:05:340:05:36

They are based on the hammer price we would expect them to reach

0:05:360:05:40

at auction, but with no auction costs added.

0:05:400:05:44

And just to add an extra twist, we have our mystery lot.

0:05:460:05:49

It could be worth thousands or it could be worth peanuts.

0:05:490:05:52

But that is for our winners to decide later.

0:05:520:05:55

But for now, it's time for round one.

0:05:550:05:57

I'm going to ask eight general knowledge questions.

0:06:020:06:05

Pickers, before each one,

0:06:050:06:06

I will ask you to select which one you would like to play for,

0:06:060:06:10

and quizzers, if you buzz in with a correct answer,

0:06:100:06:13

you will get to add it to your collection.

0:06:130:06:14

But beware, because if you buzz in incorrectly,

0:06:140:06:17

you'll be frozen out of the next question.

0:06:170:06:19

So, pickers, please make your first pick.

0:06:190:06:21

Let's see what you've chosen.

0:06:230:06:25

Stephen and Gavin have gone for the Bible,

0:06:260:06:28

Mark and Marilyn for the stamps and John and Diane for the cigar case.

0:06:280:06:32

Here's question one, quizzers.

0:06:320:06:35

On which date of the year is Hogmanay celebrated?

0:06:350:06:38

Yes, John?

0:06:380:06:39

Oh, er, 31st of October?

0:06:390:06:42

-No.

-No, I'm so sorry.

0:06:430:06:44

That's Halloween. Hogmanay is celebrated on the 31st December.

0:06:440:06:50

So, unlucky.

0:06:500:06:51

You are frozen out of the next question.

0:06:510:06:53

Pickers, pick a lot.

0:06:530:06:55

Stephen and Gavin have gone for the cigar case,

0:06:570:06:59

Mark and Marilyn for the banknote.

0:06:590:07:01

Here's the question. In 2016,

0:07:010:07:04

Leonardo DiCaprio collected the best actor Oscar for his performance

0:07:040:07:08

in which film? Yes, Stephen?

0:07:080:07:10

-The Revenant?

-The Revenant is correct, the cigar case is yours.

0:07:100:07:14

John and Diane, you are now back in the game.

0:07:150:07:18

Pickers, make a pick.

0:07:180:07:19

Stephen and Gavin have gone for the stamps,

0:07:200:07:22

Mark and Marilyn for the watch chain, John and Diane for the Bible.

0:07:220:07:27

Question three, quizzers.

0:07:270:07:28

Solutions with a pH lower than seven have what specific chemical property?

0:07:280:07:34

-Yes, Stephen?

-Alkaline.

0:07:340:07:36

Oh, it was one or the other!

0:07:360:07:38

Incorrect. It's acid.

0:07:380:07:40

You are now frozen out of the next question.

0:07:400:07:42

Pickers, make a pick.

0:07:420:07:43

Mark and Marilyn have gone for the Bible,

0:07:450:07:47

John and Diane for the decanter.

0:07:470:07:49

Question four. Which US band had a 1983 UK hit single with the song

0:07:490:07:55

Africa?

0:07:550:07:57

-Yes, John?

-Toto.

0:07:570:07:58

It is Toto, yes, correct.

0:07:580:07:59

The decanter is yours.

0:07:590:08:02

Stephen and Gavin, you're back in the game.

0:08:020:08:04

Pickers, make a pick.

0:08:040:08:05

Stephen and Gavin, Mark and Marilyn, John and Diane,

0:08:070:08:11

you've all gone for the Bible.

0:08:110:08:13

Question five. In the UK,

0:08:140:08:17

road signs that are delivering a warning to drivers

0:08:170:08:20

are usually which shape? Yes, John?

0:08:200:08:22

-Triangular.

-Correct, triangular.

0:08:220:08:25

The Bible is yours.

0:08:250:08:26

Pickers, make a pick.

0:08:280:08:29

Stephen and Gavin, the stamps, Mark and Marilyn, the carving,

0:08:320:08:35

John and Diane, the plate.

0:08:350:08:37

Question six.

0:08:370:08:39

Which stringed toy is used to perform a trick

0:08:390:08:42

known as Walk the Dog?

0:08:420:08:43

-Yes, John?

-Yo-yo.

0:08:440:08:45

Yes, can you do it?

0:08:450:08:47

No. No, thank you.

0:08:470:08:48

I spent hours practising.

0:08:480:08:49

Yes, no good at all. It is the yo-yo.

0:08:490:08:52

Well done, the plate is in your collection.

0:08:520:08:54

Pickers, make a pick.

0:08:550:08:56

Stephen and Gavin have gone for the carving,

0:08:580:09:01

Mark and Marilyn the stamps and John and Diane have chosen the carving

0:09:010:09:05

as well. Quizzers, here's your question.

0:09:050:09:07

In the EU farming policy known as the CAP,

0:09:070:09:11

what does the letter "A" stand for?

0:09:110:09:14

-Yes, John?

-Agricultural.

0:09:140:09:16

Correct. Yes, the full thing is the Common Agricultural Policy.

0:09:160:09:20

Well done, the carving is joining your collection.

0:09:200:09:22

This is the final pick of this round, so, pickers, please make a pick.

0:09:240:09:28

Stephen and Gavin, the stamps.

0:09:310:09:32

Mark and Marilyn, the watch chain.

0:09:320:09:34

John and Diane, the banknote.

0:09:340:09:36

Which Looney Tunes character is famous for asking "What's up, Doc?"

0:09:360:09:41

-Stephen?

-Bugs Bunny.

0:09:410:09:42

It is Bugs Bunny, the stamps are yours.

0:09:420:09:45

And at the end of round one, let's see how they're doing.

0:09:470:09:50

Stephen and Gavin have the cigar case and the stamps.

0:09:500:09:54

Mark and Marilyn are making their minds up.

0:09:540:09:57

John and Diane, you have the decanter, the plate,

0:09:570:10:01

the carving and the Bible.

0:10:010:10:04

Right, our teams have started to build their collections,

0:10:040:10:07

but have they chosen wisely?

0:10:070:10:08

Well, before they have the chance to add more of them,

0:10:080:10:11

Anita is going to give each player a fact about a lot of their choice,

0:10:110:10:15

which should be everything they need to know to make a valuation.

0:10:150:10:18

So let's meet our teams, shall we?

0:10:180:10:20

Stephen and Gavin, I want to hear more about you.

0:10:200:10:23

Stephen, you say you are the quizzer by default?

0:10:230:10:26

Yes, yes. I normally follow him around to the car-boot sales,

0:10:260:10:29

because he's the antique expert, really.

0:10:290:10:32

What was your best buy?

0:10:320:10:34

I found a lovely little brooch

0:10:340:10:36

and my wife's called Sophie, so it was the shape of an "S"

0:10:360:10:39

and I paid a couple of quid for it, and as it turned out,

0:10:390:10:43

it was actually a little snake and it was gold and two little diamonds

0:10:430:10:48

were the eyes and a ruby was the nose and it had

0:10:480:10:51

little emeralds down its back.

0:10:510:10:53

-Did you have it valued?

-We did, and it was worth about £1,200.

0:10:530:10:57

For a £2 investment?

0:10:580:11:00

Yes. And my wife still has it, so, yeah.

0:11:000:11:02

How wonderful. OK, which lot would you like to hear more about?

0:11:020:11:05

The cigar case, please.

0:11:050:11:07

This is a sterling silver cigar case.

0:11:070:11:10

The hallmarks tell us that it was made by the silversmith

0:11:100:11:14

Nathaniel Mills and Sons of Birmingham

0:11:140:11:18

between 1847 and 1848.

0:11:180:11:20

On the front, it reads, "Presented to WM McKenzie Esq,

0:11:200:11:25

"by those friends whose esteem he won while stationed

0:11:250:11:31

"at Dromore West as a token of their sincere regard."

0:11:310:11:36

This is a wonderful object.

0:11:360:11:40

But the personalisation may dissuade silver collectors.

0:11:400:11:44

But do you think Mr MacKenzie's friends had good taste?

0:11:440:11:50

I think they definitely did. That's not bad, is it?

0:11:510:11:53

Stephen and Gavin, I'll leave you to think about that while we meet

0:11:530:11:56

Mark and Marilyn. Very nice to have you here.

0:11:560:11:59

Mark, what do you do?

0:11:590:12:00

Well, I work for a Lloyd's broker in London.

0:12:000:12:03

And why did you apply for the show?

0:12:030:12:04

I didn't.

0:12:040:12:06

I got a phone call to say we're applying for a show.

0:12:060:12:09

-From Marilyn?

-From Marilyn, yes.

0:12:090:12:11

-Is she always getting into stuff like this?

-Yes.

0:12:110:12:15

And Marilyn, you have been on television before?

0:12:150:12:18

Yes, I was on the Generation Game in 1975.

0:12:180:12:21

And I got my first collectable.

0:12:210:12:23

How lovely!

0:12:230:12:25

Actually, Anita, would you give a valuation on something like that?

0:12:250:12:28

Well, I wouldn't like to put money on it,

0:12:280:12:32

because I think that in this case, it's beyond price.

0:12:320:12:37

Yes, yes. Priceless for you, isn't it?

0:12:370:12:39

Absolutely. OK, which lot would you like to hear more about?

0:12:390:12:43

I'd like to hear about the bracelet, please.

0:12:430:12:45

The bracelet.

0:12:450:12:47

This is an Art Deco Persian enamel bracelet.

0:12:470:12:51

If you take a closer look, you'll see how delicate the workmanship is.

0:12:510:12:57

You will have noticed that it is predominantly painted

0:12:570:13:02

in lapis lazuli, a stone of great worth,

0:13:020:13:05

crushed to create the deepest of blues.

0:13:050:13:09

Used to dye cloth in India for the upper echelons,

0:13:090:13:13

this colour is steeped in a history of wealth,

0:13:130:13:18

so could this be the jewel in your crown?

0:13:180:13:22

I'll let you two think about that while we meet team three.

0:13:230:13:26

Welcome, John and Diane.

0:13:260:13:28

-Thank you.

-John, what do you do?

0:13:280:13:30

I work as a courier with South Wales police.

0:13:300:13:32

And you're taking guitar lessons?

0:13:320:13:35

The guitar lessons are coming OK,

0:13:350:13:36

but the singing is not coming on very well, I'm afraid.

0:13:360:13:39

-Oh, you're singing with it?

-I try sometimes,

0:13:390:13:41

but that's when people shut doors and...

0:13:410:13:43

You say "people". Diane, which doors do you shut?

0:13:430:13:46

As many as possible, Fern.

0:13:460:13:49

Where do you let him practise?

0:13:490:13:50

Well, at the moment, he's in the spare bedroom,

0:13:500:13:54

but we're moving shortly and there's a lovely little annexe

0:13:540:13:57

off the garage, which I think might be perfect.

0:13:570:14:00

You poor thing!

0:14:000:14:02

So, what have you got your eye on today

0:14:030:14:06

that you'd like Anita to tell you more about?

0:14:060:14:09

Um, I think the plate, please.

0:14:090:14:11

The plate.

0:14:110:14:12

This is a Chinese export porcelain famille rose plate,

0:14:120:14:17

created during the Qing Dynasty, between 1736 and 1795.

0:14:170:14:24

And it's in remarkably good condition.

0:14:240:14:27

The market for porcelain of this kind is extremely buoyant right now,

0:14:270:14:34

with the rich Chinese collectors keen to buy back their country's

0:14:340:14:38

heritage. So what might that mean for the value

0:14:380:14:43

of an already rather desirable plate?

0:14:430:14:47

Whetting your appetite there.

0:14:470:14:48

-Thank you.

-Mm-hm.

0:14:480:14:50

Thank you very much, Anita.

0:14:500:14:53

OK, teams, it's time for round two.

0:14:530:14:55

Now, in this round, the pickers will select a lot to play for,

0:14:590:15:02

and the quizzers will again try and secure it by answering correctly.

0:15:020:15:06

But this time around, the lots come with their own question categories.

0:15:060:15:10

And here they are.

0:15:100:15:11

So, for example, if you wanted the bracelet,

0:15:130:15:16

I would ask your quizzer to choose

0:15:160:15:18

between Indian food and animated films.

0:15:180:15:21

At the end of this round,

0:15:210:15:22

the team with the least valuable collection will be eliminated,

0:15:220:15:25

so do choose wisely.

0:15:250:15:27

Steven and Gavin, you are up first.

0:15:270:15:28

Gavin, what would you like to pick?

0:15:280:15:30

We'll go for the bracelet, please.

0:15:300:15:32

The bracelet. Right, Steven, Indian food or animated films?

0:15:320:15:36

-I think it will be Indian food, please.

-Indian food.

0:15:360:15:39

On Indian restaurant menus,

0:15:390:15:41

the words "saag" and "palak" usually refer to which leafy vegetable?

0:15:410:15:46

Spinach.

0:15:460:15:48

It is spinach, correct, the bracelet is yours.

0:15:480:15:51

And there it is in your collection.

0:15:510:15:52

Well done. Marilyn, would you like to pick something?

0:15:520:15:56

I'll pick the watch chain.

0:15:560:15:57

The watch chain. Mark, Poetry or UK Geography?

0:15:570:16:02

Geography, please.

0:16:020:16:03

Geography.

0:16:030:16:05

In which British seaside city is the Palace Pier?

0:16:050:16:09

-Brighton.

-Brighton is correct.

0:16:090:16:12

The watch chain is yours and starts off your collection very nicely.

0:16:120:16:16

Diane, what would you like to pick?

0:16:160:16:18

The banknote, please.

0:16:180:16:20

The banknote.

0:16:200:16:21

John, Poetry or Explorers?

0:16:210:16:23

I think I'll go for Explorers, please.

0:16:230:16:26

Explorers.

0:16:260:16:28

In 1492, which explorer was famously sponsored

0:16:280:16:32

by King Ferdinand of Spain to go on a voyage of discovery?

0:16:320:16:37

-Christopher Columbus.

-Correct.

0:16:370:16:39

Well done, the banknote is yours.

0:16:390:16:41

Now we are going to have another round of this one.

0:16:430:16:45

But, teams, have you missed out on that one item you really wanted?

0:16:450:16:50

Because if so, here's your chance to get your hands on it.

0:16:500:16:52

From now on, you can either pick from something

0:16:520:16:55

that is left on the grid or you can steal a lot

0:16:550:16:58

that is in a rival team's collection.

0:16:580:17:01

Pickers, though, be warned,

0:17:010:17:03

if you choose to steal a lot from another team,

0:17:030:17:05

they will get to choose which category your quizzer must face.

0:17:050:17:08

So just one rule here.

0:17:080:17:10

You cannot steal from the team who has only one lot in their collection.

0:17:100:17:14

Mark and Marilyn at the moment.

0:17:140:17:15

Steven and Gavin, do you want to pick from the grid

0:17:150:17:18

-or do you want to steal?

-We'll steal, please.

0:17:180:17:21

-What would you like?

-We'll go for the decanter, please.

0:17:210:17:24

The decanter from John and Diane.

0:17:240:17:26

Right, John and Diane, you can confer.

0:17:260:17:28

Which category would you like to give Steven?

0:17:280:17:31

-Poetry.

-Poetry.

0:17:330:17:34

Poetry. Steven, here we go.

0:17:340:17:37

What name is given to the Japanese poetic form consisting of 17 syllables

0:17:370:17:41

arranged in three lines?

0:17:410:17:43

I've no idea, I'm sorry.

0:17:450:17:47

It is haiku.

0:17:470:17:49

OK. So, you did not win the decanter.

0:17:490:17:52

John and Diane, that was well defended.

0:17:520:17:55

Mark and Marilyn, pick or steal?

0:17:550:17:57

Steal, please, and we'd like the cigar case.

0:17:570:18:01

Steven and Gavin, the cigar case is in your collection,

0:18:010:18:03

so which category would you like to give Mark?

0:18:030:18:07

Classical Music, please.

0:18:070:18:08

Classical Music. Why are you smiling?

0:18:080:18:11

Because I know nothing.

0:18:110:18:12

Here we go. In The Mood and Moonlight Serenade

0:18:140:18:17

were hits for which big-band musician and his orchestra?

0:18:170:18:21

Marilyn knows this.

0:18:250:18:27

Yes, and I can see him.

0:18:270:18:28

-Louis Armstrong.

-No.

0:18:280:18:31

Incorrect. Glenn Miller.

0:18:310:18:34

Glenn Miller. OK, the cigar case was well defended there,

0:18:340:18:37

Gavin and Steven.

0:18:370:18:38

John and Diane, pick or steal?

0:18:380:18:40

-Steal, please.

-What would you like?

0:18:410:18:43

The bracelet, please.

0:18:430:18:45

The bracelet. Steven and Gavin, what category do you want to give John?

0:18:450:18:49

-Poetry.

-Poetry, please.

0:18:500:18:52

Poetry. John.

0:18:520:18:53

Which poet wrote the famous lines,

0:18:550:18:57

"The owl and the pussycat went to sea in a beautiful pea-green boat?"

0:18:570:19:01

-Edward Lear.

-Correct.

0:19:020:19:04

The bracelet is yours.

0:19:040:19:07

Oh, Steven and Gavin, I'm sorry.

0:19:070:19:09

There you go, sitting in your collection nicely.

0:19:100:19:13

Let's do it again, let's have another round.

0:19:130:19:16

OK, Steven and Gavin, pick or steal?

0:19:160:19:19

Yes, we'll have to steal.

0:19:190:19:21

And we'll go for the bracelet again, please.

0:19:210:19:23

For the bracelet. John and Diane, you need to defend this now.

0:19:230:19:26

What category would you like to offer Steven?

0:19:260:19:29

Go for Classical Music or Poetry.

0:19:290:19:31

-Classical.

-Classical Music.

0:19:310:19:33

Classical Music.

0:19:330:19:35

The song Land Of Hope And Glory is adapted from which set of marches

0:19:350:19:40

-by Elgar?

-The Floral Marches.

0:19:400:19:43

-Just a guess.

-It's a nice guess,

0:19:430:19:46

but it's the Pomp and Circumstance military marches.

0:19:460:19:49

Well defended, John and Diane.

0:19:490:19:51

The bracelet stays with you.

0:19:510:19:53

Mark and Marilyn, pick or steal?

0:19:530:19:55

I think we'll try for the cigar case again.

0:19:550:19:57

OK, the cigar case.

0:19:570:19:59

Right, Steven and Gavin, defend your cigar case.

0:19:590:20:03

We'll try Poetry, please.

0:20:030:20:04

Poetry. Mark's thrilled!

0:20:040:20:07

Here we go. In 2009,

0:20:080:20:11

who succeeded Andrew Motion as the British Poet Laureate?

0:20:110:20:14

Sorry, I have no idea.

0:20:180:20:20

It's Carol Ann Duffy.

0:20:200:20:22

Well defended, boys over there.

0:20:220:20:24

Cigar case stays with you.

0:20:240:20:26

John and Diana, pick or steal?

0:20:260:20:28

It will have to be the cigar case, I'm sorry.

0:20:280:20:31

The cigar case.

0:20:310:20:33

Steven, Gavin, what are you going to give John?

0:20:330:20:35

Classical. Classical Music.

0:20:380:20:40

OK, my trusted friend tells me Classical Music.

0:20:400:20:44

Classical Music.

0:20:440:20:46

A raised eyebrow and a wrinkled nose.

0:20:460:20:50

A famous quartet of violin concertos by Vivaldi

0:20:500:20:53

shares its name with which pizza topping?

0:20:530:20:56

Four Seasons.

0:20:560:20:57

Ooh, get in! That was a good question, wasn't it?

0:20:570:21:00

Yes, correct, the cigar case is yours.

0:21:000:21:03

You'll be glad to hear that's the end of that round,

0:21:050:21:08

so let's see how the collections are looking.

0:21:080:21:11

Well, Steven and Gavin started that round with two items -

0:21:110:21:14

you are left with the stamps.

0:21:140:21:15

Mark and Marilyn, you have got the watch chain, and John and Diane,

0:21:150:21:20

you have the decanter, the bracelet, the Bible, the plate, the carving,

0:21:200:21:25

the cigar case and the banknote.

0:21:250:21:29

Greedy, aren't they?

0:21:290:21:31

So, the team with the least valuable collection will now be eliminated,

0:21:310:21:36

so, Anita, who is leaving us first?

0:21:360:21:39

The pair leaving us first today is...

0:21:390:21:43

Mark and Marilyn.

0:21:480:21:50

I'm so sorry you're leaving the game,

0:21:550:21:57

and so is the watch chain - that comes back to us.

0:21:570:22:00

But of course you want to find out how much it is, don't you?

0:22:000:22:03

Anita will tell us.

0:22:030:22:04

This is a gold Double Albert watch chain,

0:22:040:22:08

dating from the late 19th century.

0:22:080:22:11

An Albert chain is used to secure a watch or other item,

0:22:110:22:15

which prevents it from being dropped.

0:22:150:22:18

Without a watch to go with it, it may be less desirable to collectors.

0:22:180:22:24

However, this is a fine example, it's nine-carat rose gold.

0:22:240:22:30

The value - £340.

0:22:300:22:34

Wow. Well, that was a very good pick indeed.

0:22:340:22:39

£340 for one item is very good, but Mark and Marilyn,

0:22:390:22:43

it's time to say goodbye.

0:22:430:22:44

And thank you so much for playing For What It's Worth.

0:22:440:22:47

Thank you.

0:22:470:22:48

And also the unclaimed items in the grid are now leaving the game,

0:22:520:22:56

so let's quickly find out from Anita what they are worth,

0:22:560:22:59

and if the top lot is still in the game.

0:22:590:23:01

First lot up is the James Bond Special Agent 007 Aston Martin

0:23:030:23:10

DB5 model kit.

0:23:100:23:12

It is contained within its original box, which is in good condition.

0:23:120:23:19

The beautifully hand drawn scenes printed on to these 1960s

0:23:190:23:25

007 series boxes are extra special.

0:23:250:23:29

But the less good news is that someone has opened the plastic bags,

0:23:290:23:35

and the pieces are loose.

0:23:350:23:36

Value - £150.

0:23:360:23:41

Next up is this rather lovely child's lambing chair.

0:23:440:23:50

A lambing chair is one of the few examples of regional furniture

0:23:500:23:55

becoming increasingly popular from 1750 to 1850.

0:23:550:24:00

Many are one of a kind.

0:24:000:24:03

To find a lambing chair made for a child is rare.

0:24:030:24:09

The value - £350.

0:24:090:24:14

Last item, here we have a traditional washing dolly.

0:24:160:24:22

The washing dolly was invented as an early tool

0:24:220:24:26

for making washing your delicates easier.

0:24:260:24:30

This simplistic design with a wooden handle and sculpted copper base

0:24:300:24:36

would have only been used to hand wash the very best of clothes.

0:24:360:24:42

Now, the recent surge in the popularity of kitchenalia

0:24:420:24:46

such as this means that the right item

0:24:460:24:50

can fetch sums that would, to the untrained eye,

0:24:500:24:54

seem to be unwarranted.

0:24:540:24:57

Value on the washing dolly - worthless.

0:24:570:25:00

Which means below £10.

0:25:000:25:04

So the bottom lot has gone.

0:25:040:25:06

The bottom lot has gone.

0:25:060:25:08

So that means the top lot, worth £2,500,

0:25:080:25:13

is with you somewhere in your collections.

0:25:130:25:17

Teams, congratulations on getting this far.

0:25:170:25:20

You now have one last chance to pick our expert's brains,

0:25:200:25:23

so which lot do you need to know more about?

0:25:230:25:25

-Team one.

-We'll go with the Bible, please.

0:25:250:25:28

The Bible is a compilation of Old and New Testament.

0:25:280:25:33

An estimated 5 billion copies have been bought worldwide,

0:25:330:25:39

which makes it the bestselling book of all time.

0:25:390:25:43

Eat your heart out, JK Rowling.

0:25:430:25:47

And this edition is the wonderful, exotic language of Welsh.

0:25:470:25:55

It is rare to find one in such fantastic condition,

0:25:550:26:00

with its leather-bound cover and wholly impressive look.

0:26:000:26:05

But are you finding it inspirational?

0:26:050:26:09

You have a think about that, and while I ask John and Diane,

0:26:090:26:13

what would you like to know more about?

0:26:130:26:16

I think the banknote, please.

0:26:160:26:18

Now, what we have here is a 100 rupee note from Bombay, India,

0:26:190:26:27

which has been in continuous production since 1923

0:26:270:26:32

and is still in circulation today.

0:26:320:26:35

This particular note was printed in 1927.

0:26:360:26:41

This is in decent condition.

0:26:410:26:44

However, there is a small hole in it, so it isn't perfect.

0:26:440:26:49

It's now time for our final round,

0:26:520:26:55

and at the end of this, we will have our winners.

0:26:550:26:57

In this round, I'm going to show you a category and 12 possible answers.

0:27:000:27:04

Nine of the answers are correct, three are not,

0:27:040:27:07

and as it's the final round, both quizzers and pickers will play.

0:27:070:27:11

Pick a wrong answer and your opponents will be able to steal

0:27:110:27:14

a lot from your collection.

0:27:140:27:15

We'll play three questions in total.

0:27:150:27:17

The pair with the most valuable collections can choose to go first

0:27:170:27:21

or second on this one, so, Anita, who is that at the moment?

0:27:210:27:25

I can reveal that the team with the most valuable collection

0:27:250:27:30

so far is...

0:27:300:27:32

John and Diane.

0:27:320:27:33

OK. Here is the first question.

0:27:360:27:38

Shades of blue.

0:27:390:27:41

Can you spot the words that are used to describe shades

0:27:410:27:44

of the colour blue? Would you like to go first or second?

0:27:440:27:47

-First, please.

-I think we'll go first.

0:27:470:27:49

Here are the answers.

0:27:490:27:51

Nine of those are correct, three are not.

0:27:510:27:54

John, give me an answer.

0:27:540:27:56

Navy, please.

0:27:560:27:58

Navy. If this goes green, it's correct.

0:27:580:28:01

Of course it's correct.

0:28:010:28:02

-Steven.

-Sky.

0:28:020:28:04

Sky.

0:28:040:28:05

Correct. A bright clear blue.

0:28:070:28:10

-Diane.

-Azure.

0:28:100:28:13

Azure.

0:28:130:28:14

Correct. Another beautiful bright blue.

0:28:150:28:18

-Gavin.

-Prussian, please.

0:28:180:28:20

Prussian.

0:28:200:28:21

Correct. Anyone who's done some painting knows Prussian blue.

0:28:220:28:26

John.

0:28:260:28:28

-Ultramarine.

-Ultramarine.

0:28:280:28:30

Correct, of course. The brilliant deep blue.

0:28:310:28:34

-Steven.

-Alice.

0:28:340:28:36

Alice.

0:28:360:28:39

Alice is correct.

0:28:390:28:40

I think it was named after her hair band, that pale blue,

0:28:400:28:43

wasn't it? Diane.

0:28:430:28:46

-Periwinkle.

-Periwinkle.

0:28:460:28:48

Correct. That's purpley blue.

0:28:490:28:51

It's beautiful. Gavin.

0:28:510:28:53

I'm going to go with vermillion.

0:28:550:28:57

Vermillion.

0:28:570:28:58

Incorrect. That's a type of red.

0:29:010:29:03

Oh. Actually, your collection might be in the red for a moment.

0:29:030:29:07

Let's have a look at the other wrong answers.

0:29:080:29:11

Persimmon is an orange.

0:29:110:29:15

Aureolin is a yellow.

0:29:150:29:18

John and Diane, you may like to steal from Steven and Gavin.

0:29:180:29:22

It's a difficult choice.

0:29:220:29:23

It would have to be the stamps, I think.

0:29:230:29:27

The stamps. Steven and Gavin, the stamps are leaving you.

0:29:270:29:30

Maybe only a temporary measure.

0:29:300:29:33

Because it's your turn next.

0:29:330:29:34

Here's question two.

0:29:340:29:35

And the question is about breeds of horse.

0:29:370:29:39

Can you find the real names of horse breeds from around the world?

0:29:390:29:43

Would you like to go first or second?

0:29:430:29:45

-We'll go first this time.

-First.

0:29:450:29:47

Have a look at the answers.

0:29:470:29:49

Steven, give me an answer.

0:29:520:29:53

-Shire.

-Shire.

0:29:530:29:55

Correct. Of course, those beautiful giant shire horses.

0:29:570:30:00

John.

0:30:000:30:02

-Clydesdale.

-Clydesdale.

0:30:020:30:04

Correct, another breed of draught horse.

0:30:060:30:08

-Gavin.

-Falabella, please.

0:30:080:30:11

Falabella.

0:30:110:30:13

Correct. A miniature breed.

0:30:130:30:15

-Diane.

-Arabian.

0:30:150:30:18

Arabian.

0:30:180:30:19

Correct. Originated in the Arabian Peninsula.

0:30:200:30:24

Steven.

0:30:240:30:25

-Andalusian.

-Andalusian.

0:30:250:30:28

Correct. One of those beautiful Spanish horses.

0:30:290:30:32

John.

0:30:320:30:33

-Chinois.

-Chinois.

0:30:350:30:37

Oh, incorrect.

0:30:390:30:41

It's a sieve used in cooking.

0:30:410:30:43

Let's have a look at the other wrong answers.

0:30:450:30:47

And there's Kumatoo, which is apparently a type of tomato.

0:30:490:30:53

And bhangra, which is an Indian dance.

0:30:540:30:57

So, Steven and Gavin, what would you like to choose?

0:30:570:31:00

Take your pick from John and Diane's collection.

0:31:000:31:03

Plate or the case, I think.

0:31:030:31:05

OK. Can we go for the plate, please?

0:31:050:31:07

The plate, you certainly may.

0:31:070:31:09

It's yours.

0:31:090:31:10

Here we go. Third and final question.

0:31:110:31:14

John and Diane, this is for you.

0:31:140:31:16

And it is Greek Gods and Goddesses.

0:31:160:31:20

You're looking for the names of gods and goddesses from Greek mythology.

0:31:200:31:24

Would you like to go first or second, John and Diane?

0:31:240:31:27

Yes, we'll go first, please.

0:31:270:31:28

OK, let's have a look at the answers.

0:31:280:31:30

John, give me an answer.

0:31:330:31:35

Dionysus.

0:31:350:31:37

Dionysus.

0:31:370:31:38

Correct. Also known as Bacchus, the god of enjoying himself.

0:31:400:31:44

Steven.

0:31:440:31:46

-Aphrodite.

-Aphrodite.

0:31:460:31:47

Correct. Goddess of love and beauty.

0:31:500:31:53

-Diane.

-Ares.

0:31:530:31:55

Ares.

0:31:550:31:56

Correct. God of war.

0:31:580:32:00

-Gavin.

-Poseidon, please.

0:32:000:32:03

Poseidon.

0:32:030:32:04

Correct, god of the sea.

0:32:060:32:08

John.

0:32:080:32:09

-Hermes.

-Hermes.

0:32:090:32:11

Correct, he is the messenger of the gods.

0:32:140:32:17

-Steven.

-Hera.

0:32:170:32:19

Hera.

0:32:190:32:20

Correct - patron of marriage and childbirth.

0:32:220:32:25

Diane, give me an answer.

0:32:250:32:27

Hephestus.

0:32:280:32:29

Hephestus.

0:32:290:32:30

Correct. God of fire.

0:32:320:32:34

Only two of these are right, three of these are wrong.

0:32:350:32:38

Gavin, give me an answer.

0:32:380:32:40

Goodness. I'm going to go with Hestia, please.

0:32:410:32:44

Hestia.

0:32:440:32:45

Yes, goddess of the hearth.

0:32:470:32:49

One right answer left on the board, and it's down to you, John.

0:32:500:32:54

No pressure!

0:32:540:32:55

This could make or break the game for you.

0:32:560:32:58

I'm torn at the minute, I'm just...

0:32:580:33:00

I think I will go for Demeter.

0:33:010:33:03

Demeter.

0:33:030:33:05

Correct.

0:33:070:33:08

Demter is the goddess of the harvest.

0:33:100:33:12

Let's have a look at the other wrong answers.

0:33:120:33:15

Charmander is a Pokemon character.

0:33:150:33:19

Tatooine, a Star Wars planet.

0:33:190:33:21

And Chromia is a Transformers character.

0:33:210:33:25

Wow. We know what's going to happen now.

0:33:250:33:27

John and Diane, you're going to steal from Steven and Gavin.

0:33:270:33:31

-Got to be the plate.

-Plate is coming back.

0:33:330:33:36

Leaving Steven and Gavin nothing left in their collection.

0:33:370:33:41

But, Anita, haven't they played well?

0:33:420:33:45

Wonderfully well, it was absolutely terrific.

0:33:450:33:48

And you chose some lovely things.

0:33:480:33:51

-Thank you.

-So lovely that they were pinched!

0:33:510:33:53

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

0:33:550:33:58

Thank you.

0:33:580:33:59

Well done, John and Diane.

0:34:030:34:05

You are today's winners,

0:34:050:34:06

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

0:34:060:34:09

All you have to do is pick one of the lots in your collection

0:34:090:34:13

and we will give you its value in cash.

0:34:130:34:15

So, which one do you want to choose?

0:34:150:34:18

-Discuss together.

-It's difficult.

0:34:180:34:20

I don't know. I liked the decanter from the start.

0:34:210:34:24

But I'm not sure.

0:34:240:34:26

The Bible I'm drawn to because of the Welsh language as well.

0:34:280:34:32

-It's an omen, the Bible.

-Should we go for it?

0:34:320:34:35

-Yes, the Bible.

-Let's just go for it.

0:34:350:34:36

-We will go for the Bible.

-So you've chosen the Bible.

0:34:360:34:39

Well, before we tell you what it's worth, Anita,

0:34:390:34:42

please can you tell us what they haven't won?

0:34:420:34:45

First we have the bracelet.

0:34:450:34:47

Now, you liked the bracelet, but you did notice there were no markings.

0:34:470:34:52

But this is made of lapis lazuli, and it's a charming thing.

0:34:520:34:57

But it's only worth £50.

0:34:570:35:00

Next, we have the carving.

0:35:030:35:05

This is a carving of Charles I, dating from the early 1800s.

0:35:050:35:12

It is only three-quarters carved,

0:35:120:35:15

as it is designed to be mounted on the wall.

0:35:150:35:18

Despite the fact its origins are unknown,

0:35:180:35:22

this is a fascinating object.

0:35:220:35:25

£300.

0:35:250:35:27

Oh, good.

0:35:270:35:28

Next, the decanter.

0:35:290:35:32

This is a novelty decanter in the form of a French bulldog.

0:35:320:35:37

It has a glass body and a silver-plated head

0:35:370:35:41

and there are no markings of any description

0:35:410:35:45

that would identify the maker,

0:35:450:35:48

but we can tell you that it was made in France circa 1900.

0:35:480:35:54

There are many novelty animal decanters out there,

0:35:540:35:58

and no two ever look the same.

0:35:580:36:01

For this reason,

0:36:010:36:03

they rarely command the same prices because they are so unique.

0:36:030:36:09

The value of the decanter is...

0:36:100:36:13

..£550.

0:36:150:36:17

Whoa, nice.

0:36:170:36:19

It is nice.

0:36:190:36:21

Next, we have the cigar case.

0:36:210:36:23

You loved the cigar case.

0:36:230:36:25

You could see its quality and it was one of your choices.

0:36:250:36:30

Value...

0:36:300:36:31

..1,500.

0:36:330:36:36

Next item, the stamps.

0:36:380:36:40

This is a pair of 23p stamps dating from 1983.

0:36:410:36:48

These stamps are unmounted and unused and, therefore,

0:36:480:36:54

are classified as being in mint condition.

0:36:540:36:59

However, this pair haven't got any perforations

0:36:590:37:04

around the edge of them,

0:37:040:37:07

making them rarer than their counterparts,

0:37:070:37:10

and there are only 22 others like these out there.

0:37:100:37:18

The value...

0:37:180:37:21

..is £2,000.

0:37:230:37:25

-Wow. Phew, £2,000.

-I would never have got that.

0:37:250:37:29

Next, the plate.

0:37:290:37:31

Now, this was one of your favourites, and no wonder.

0:37:330:37:36

This is an 18th-century plate of great quality.

0:37:360:37:43

The value, £400.

0:37:430:37:46

The banknote is the last item,

0:37:490:37:52

and we know that it's either the banknote or your Bible

0:37:520:37:58

which is the highest-value item.

0:37:580:38:01

Now, the banknote is only worth 100 rupees,

0:38:010:38:08

which is the equivalent of a pound.

0:38:080:38:12

That 100 rupee note is nearly 100 years old.

0:38:120:38:17

Diane, I heard you saying, "I've got a wee feeling about that."

0:38:210:38:26

You had an intuition about it.

0:38:280:38:30

Its value in today's market...

0:38:300:38:34

£2,500.

0:38:380:38:42

So, it's today's top lot.

0:38:420:38:45

Oh, my goodness.

0:38:450:38:47

Hey, never mind.

0:38:480:38:49

Let's go with this.

0:38:490:38:51

John and Diane, you have won the value of the Bible written in Welsh.

0:38:510:38:55

Just out of interest, what do you think that is worth?

0:38:550:38:59

I don't know. Maybe, six, 600?

0:38:590:39:02

-500?

-Something like that, perhaps?

0:39:020:39:04

Well, before we tell you what it's worth,

0:39:040:39:07

I wonder if we can tempt you with our mystery lot.

0:39:070:39:11

It may be worth more than our top lot.

0:39:110:39:14

Would you come and join me?

0:39:140:39:16

Here you are, John and Diane.

0:39:200:39:22

The Bible, and as things stand, you have won its value in cash.

0:39:220:39:26

You've chosen the Bible, but before we tell you its value,

0:39:260:39:29

Anita is going to tempt you with today's mystery lot.

0:39:290:39:33

Now, this is a beautifully and very intricately carved conch shell.

0:39:370:39:44

It is an unusual ornament, dating from between 1860 and 1880,

0:39:440:39:51

and is a typical example of an extravagant, high Victorian taste.

0:39:510:39:58

The carving depicts an episode from Greek mythology,

0:39:580:40:03

the abduction of Europa.

0:40:030:40:05

Highly decorative conch shells like this are rare,

0:40:050:40:10

especially ones of this size and with this quality of carving.

0:40:100:40:17

How much would you shell out for it?

0:40:170:40:21

What's it worth?

0:40:240:40:25

So, all that's left to you to decide is whether to take home the value

0:40:260:40:30

of the Bible from your collection,

0:40:300:40:31

or dump it in favour of the mystery lot.

0:40:310:40:34

What are your initial thoughts?

0:40:340:40:35

There's an awful lot of work in that shell, isn't there?

0:40:350:40:38

-I've never seen anything like it before.

-No, no.

0:40:380:40:40

Isn't it incredible?

0:40:400:40:42

I mean, somebody could actually do that without breaking it?

0:40:420:40:45

You're the expert. I'm just going to stand aside and let you do your thing.

0:40:450:40:49

Oh, thank you so much for that!

0:40:490:40:50

Where is your heart going?

0:40:500:40:52

Yeah, we'll take a gamble and go for the shell.

0:40:520:40:54

-Would you agree?

-I'm happy with that, yeah.

0:40:540:40:56

The shell it is. So, they're going with the mystery lot,

0:40:560:40:59

this lovely shell, which means you have won its worth in cash.

0:40:590:41:04

Now, Anita, before we reveal how much that shell is worth,

0:41:040:41:07

please would you tell us what they've thrown away with the Bible?

0:41:070:41:10

That wonderful edition with the tooled leather cover,

0:41:100:41:16

the marvellous brass locks,

0:41:160:41:20

the fact that the Bible is in Welsh...

0:41:200:41:25

I know!

0:41:250:41:26

..all make it

0:41:270:41:30

more desirable.

0:41:300:41:32

A wonderful Bible.

0:41:320:41:34

Victorian. It has age.

0:41:350:41:38

It has condition.

0:41:380:41:40

It's unusual.

0:41:400:41:42

It's fabulous...

0:41:420:41:44

But I'm afraid it's only worth £40.

0:41:460:41:48

SHE GASPS

0:41:480:41:52

£40!

0:41:550:41:59

Amazing. All right, settle down then,

0:41:590:42:01

because Anita is now going to tell you how much you have won.

0:42:010:42:06

What are they taking home?

0:42:060:42:08

Well, they have chosen this beautiful carved shell.

0:42:080:42:12

It's a Victorian lot.

0:42:120:42:14

Now, the shell is a natural object, but it is not a rare object.

0:42:140:42:22

There were a lot of them made.

0:42:240:42:26

This shell is divine.

0:42:270:42:30

The carving is of the highest quality...

0:42:310:42:35

..but still quite common.

0:42:360:42:37

This beautiful shell is worth...

0:42:410:42:45

..£600.

0:42:470:42:48

That's fantastic, congratulations. Oh, my goodness.

0:42:520:42:55

You had 600 in your head

0:42:550:42:58

-and it was the shell.

-It was for the shell.

0:42:580:43:00

Very well done. Isn't that marvellous?

0:43:000:43:03

So, today, John and Diane are going home with £600.

0:43:030:43:07

Anita, thank you so much for lending us all your expertise

0:43:070:43:10

and all your brilliance and you're very naughty,

0:43:100:43:13

because you had us going up and down like maniacs there.

0:43:130:43:15

Brilliant, though. We hope to see you again soon.

0:43:150:43:18

And we'll see you again next time,

0:43:180:43:20

when more teams will be trying to spot the lot to win the lot

0:43:200:43:22

on For What It's Worth. Goodbye for now. Well done!

0:43:220:43:26

APPLAUSE
