Hello, and welcome to For What It's Worth.

0:00:160:00:18

This is the show where you need a quizzer's brain

0:00:180:00:21

and an eye for antiques.

0:00:210:00:23

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

0:00:230:00:26

who has to answer a general knowledge question correctly

0:00:260:00:29

so that their partner, the picker, has a chance to choose an antique

0:00:290:00:32

or collectable to build a collection.

0:00:320:00:35

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

0:00:350:00:38

So, now here in the studio we have some very quirky

0:00:380:00:41

and valuable things.

0:00:410:00:43

And joining me to make sense of them all is Mr Quirky

0:00:430:00:45

and Mr Valuable himself, David Harper.

0:00:450:00:48

-Oh!

-APPLAUSE

0:00:480:00:50

-How are you?

-Very well, great to be here.

0:00:500:00:53

And some good teams here as well, I've got to say.

0:00:530:00:57

Very interesting indeed.

0:00:570:00:58

-This is going to be a real scrap today, I reckon.

-I hope so.

0:00:580:01:02

Tell us about some of the lots that we have today.

0:01:020:01:05

OK, first of all,

0:01:050:01:07

we have a helmet,

0:01:070:01:09

centrepiece,

0:01:090:01:11

pair of lamps,

0:01:110:01:12

inkwell,

0:01:120:01:14

bottle,

0:01:140:01:16

toy clown,

0:01:160:01:18

box,

0:01:180:01:20

dish,

0:01:200:01:21

watch,

0:01:210:01:23

brooch,

0:01:230:01:25

pot,

0:01:250:01:27

and painting.

0:01:270:01:29

One of these items is our top lot, which is worth a whopping £2,500.

0:01:310:01:36

That, of course, is the lot to spot, teams,

0:01:360:01:39

because, at the end of the show, the winning pair will walk away

0:01:390:01:42

with the cash equivalent of one of their items.

0:01:420:01:45

But beware, because the lots decrease in value

0:01:450:01:48

right down to our worthless lot, which is worth under £10.

0:01:480:01:52

That is the lot to avoid, of course.

0:01:520:01:55

So, who's playing today?

0:01:550:01:57

Let's meet our teams. Team One, who are you?

0:01:570:02:00

Hi, I'm Tom and I'm here today with my girlfriend, Sam.

0:02:000:02:03

Yeah, we are huge fans of the show.

0:02:030:02:05

So much so, we actually created our own version at home

0:02:050:02:07

while watching on TV.

0:02:070:02:09

Fantastic, you are very welcome.

0:02:090:02:11

There we are, Tom and Sam. And Team Two.

0:02:110:02:14

Hello, I'm Stuart and this is my wife, Elaine.

0:02:140:02:17

And I'm here because I was told to be here.

0:02:170:02:19

And we're both music teachers

0:02:210:02:23

and we've got over 100 violins at home.

0:02:230:02:26

Wow! Welcome, Stuart and Elaine.

0:02:260:02:29

Team Three, who are you?

0:02:290:02:31

Hello, I'm Jill and this is my daughter, Sue.

0:02:310:02:34

We're both from Rutland and we love a bargain hunt.

0:02:340:02:37

-Ooh, you're on the wrong programme.

-Yes!

0:02:370:02:39

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

0:02:390:02:42

but they were watched over by our expert, David,

0:02:420:02:45

who was spying on them.

0:02:450:02:46

But could they separate the chic from the cheap? Let's see.

0:02:460:02:49

Goodness me.

0:02:500:02:51

That's a nice colour.

0:02:510:02:53

Wow.

0:02:530:02:54

I think that's Victorian.

0:02:580:03:00

It's a bit garish, actually.

0:03:000:03:02

That's not machine-made, I think that's hand.

0:03:020:03:04

Ah.

0:03:040:03:06

That says Sotheby's, I reckon.

0:03:080:03:09

And obviously, that's a very, very top auction house.

0:03:090:03:12

Can you see a name?

0:03:120:03:13

It's old, isn't it? Because the cows are old. If you see what I mean.

0:03:150:03:18

HE LAUGHS

0:03:180:03:19

Well, I hope that they're not the most expensive ones.

0:03:220:03:25

I think there probably Art Deco, but I don't really know.

0:03:250:03:28

They're lovely though, aren't they?

0:03:280:03:29

Now, military, we know is really sought after.

0:03:310:03:35

-It's got a chin strap on it, so does it mean it's a riding?

-Or flying.

0:03:350:03:39

I had the conversation with your mum about bottles

0:03:390:03:42

and that's an onion-shaped bottle.

0:03:420:03:43

-Oh, yeah.

-Remember?

-Like it.

0:03:430:03:45

Let's see a mark in the middle.

0:03:450:03:49

Come on, find those marks.

0:03:490:03:51

It's very pretty. If they're real diamonds, it could be valuable.

0:03:530:03:56

I wouldn't know what stone it was.

0:03:560:03:58

I think it's probably got value, but it's obvious value,

0:03:590:04:03

-do you know what I mean?

-Yes.

0:04:030:04:04

And is that the original box?

0:04:040:04:06

Don't know whether you know how good you are.

0:04:060:04:08

I can never understand why inkwells are worth so much

0:04:100:04:13

because they're useless now.

0:04:130:04:15

-It's got its pots, but are they original?

-Well spotted.

0:04:150:04:18

No marks, no signature.

0:04:210:04:22

It's Oriental, isn't it?

0:04:220:04:24

Nothing for me. I think we can pass on that.

0:04:240:04:26

I wouldn't know what to look for because it hasn't got any marks on.

0:04:260:04:29

-JILL:

-Oh, Elkington.

0:04:300:04:32

Well, that's quite a well-known good make, I think. Yeah.

0:04:320:04:35

Yeah, Jill, you know your stuff.

0:04:350:04:36

Silver plate, England.

0:04:360:04:38

-Not worth much, then?

-Not worth much.

0:04:380:04:40

-Right, wooden box.

-I like that.

0:04:420:04:44

-Yeah, I like that a lot.

-Straight away.

0:04:440:04:45

Something you'd pick up on the market.

0:04:450:04:48

Interesting.

0:04:480:04:49

-Oh, the lighthouse.

-And then a sun.

-And a sun.

0:04:510:04:54

I bet it's something to do with sailing.

0:04:540:04:56

-Is it a gold? It looks as if it's gold.

-Good question.

0:04:580:05:01

-That's horrendous.

-I know but look, it looks so delicate.

0:05:020:05:05

I bet that's probably worth quite a bit, don't you? Toys sometimes are.

0:05:050:05:10

-So, if we target the painting, the bottle...

-And the clown.

0:05:100:05:13

-Pot, jewellery...

-Watch.

0:05:130:05:16

..and the inkwell.

0:05:160:05:17

-So, top the brooch?

-Yes.

-Then?

0:05:170:05:20

-OK. Then watch.

-Then watch, then the bottle.

0:05:200:05:24

And then the worthless one, the wooden box.

0:05:240:05:26

-That's it, come on, then. That's it.

-You reckon?

-Fingers crossed.

0:05:260:05:29

Let's go.

0:05:290:05:30

So, David. Were they good spotters in that room?

0:05:320:05:35

Oh, it was such interesting viewing.

0:05:350:05:38

How do you arrive at the valuations that you do for these lots?

0:05:380:05:41

OK, the values for each lot have been agreed between myself

0:05:410:05:45

and another independent valuer.

0:05:450:05:47

They're based on the hammer price we would expect an item to reach

0:05:470:05:51

in auction but not including the auction fees or commissions.

0:05:510:05:56

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

0:05:560:05:59

Now, the mystery lot could be worth thousands

0:05:590:06:01

or it could be worth peanuts.

0:06:010:06:03

That is for our winners to decide a bit later.

0:06:030:06:06

But for now, it is time for Round One.

0:06:060:06:08

I'm going to ask eight General Knowledge questions.

0:06:110:06:14

Pickers, before each one,

0:06:140:06:16

I will ask you to select a lot that you would like to play for.

0:06:160:06:20

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

0:06:200:06:22

you'll get to add it to your collection.

0:06:220:06:25

But beware, if you buzz in incorrectly,

0:06:250:06:27

you will be frozen out of the next question.

0:06:270:06:29

So, pickers, please make your first pick.

0:06:290:06:32

Let's see what you've chosen.

0:06:340:06:35

Tom and Sam have gone

0:06:370:06:38

for the toy clown.

0:06:380:06:40

Stuart and Elaine, the oil painting.

0:06:400:06:42

And Sue and Jill, the brooch.

0:06:420:06:44

OK, quizzers. Fingers on buzzers, here comes Question one.

0:06:440:06:48

The majority of the Amazon rainforest is contained

0:06:480:06:51

within which country?

0:06:510:06:52

-Yes, Tom?

-Brazil.

0:06:520:06:54

It is a Brazil, well done. The toy clown is yours.

0:06:540:06:57

Pickers, make another pick.

0:06:580:07:00

Tom and Sam have now gone

0:07:010:07:03

for the watch.

0:07:030:07:04

Stuart and Elaine, the pot.

0:07:040:07:06

And Sue and Jill, have gone

0:07:060:07:07

for the watch as well.

0:07:070:07:09

Question two.

0:07:090:07:11

Which Norse God is known for wielding his mighty hammer?

0:07:110:07:15

-Yes, Tom?

-Thor.

0:07:150:07:17

Correct, the watch is yours.

0:07:170:07:19

Pickers, would you like to pick again, please?

0:07:200:07:23

Tom and Sam have gone

0:07:230:07:25

for the oil painting.

0:07:250:07:26

Stuart and Elaine are sticking

0:07:260:07:27

with their oil painting.

0:07:270:07:29

Sue and Jill have gone

0:07:290:07:30

for the centrepiece.

0:07:300:07:32

Question three.

0:07:320:07:33

What is the name of the pop group

0:07:330:07:35

that comprises members of Busted and McFly?

0:07:350:07:38

McBusted.

0:07:380:07:39

It is McBusted! DAVID LAUGHS

0:07:390:07:41

-His favourite!

-Well...

-I'm never going to live that down.

0:07:410:07:44

You're cleaning up here at the moment, Tom.

0:07:440:07:46

That's three out of three.

0:07:460:07:48

Pickers, pick something else.

0:07:480:07:49

Tom and Sam have gone

0:07:510:07:52

for the bottle.

0:07:520:07:53

Stuart and Elaine and Sue and Jill

0:07:530:07:55

have gone for the pot.

0:07:550:07:57

Question four.

0:07:570:07:58

First published in 1891, who wrote Tess Of D'Urbevilles?

0:07:580:08:02

-Yes, Sue?

-Thomas Hardy.

0:08:030:08:04

It's Thomas Hardy.

0:08:040:08:06

The pot is yours.

0:08:060:08:08

Pickers, pick again.

0:08:080:08:10

Tom and Sam stick with the bottle.

0:08:120:08:14

Stuart and Elaine have gone

0:08:140:08:16

for the brooch

0:08:160:08:17

and Sue and Jill have gone

0:08:170:08:19

for the brooch too.

0:08:190:08:20

Question five.

0:08:200:08:21

Which fruit is pureed and sieved to make passata?

0:08:210:08:25

-Yes, Tom?

-Tomatoes.

0:08:260:08:27

It is tomatoes, well done.

0:08:270:08:29

The bottle is yours.

0:08:290:08:31

Pickers, pick again.

0:08:310:08:32

Ooh!

0:08:330:08:35

You have all gone for the brooch.

0:08:350:08:37

So, it'll be the fastest

0:08:370:08:39

correct answer.

0:08:390:08:40

Quizzers, question six.

0:08:400:08:41

In 2016, which star of Friends

0:08:410:08:46

became a regular presenter on Top Gear?

0:08:460:08:48

-Yes, Tom?

-Matt LeBlanc.

0:08:480:08:50

It is Matt LeBlanc. The brooch is yours.

0:08:500:08:52

Would you like to pick something else, please?

0:08:530:08:56

Tom and Sam have gone for the dish,

0:08:570:08:59

Stuart and Elaine have gone

0:08:590:09:01

for the pair of lamps

0:09:010:09:02

and Jill and Sue have gone

0:09:020:09:04

for the pair of lamps too.

0:09:040:09:05

Here comes the question.

0:09:050:09:06

The Uffizi Gallery is a museum in which European city?

0:09:060:09:09

Anything coming into your heads?

0:09:100:09:12

I'll say Florence.

0:09:150:09:17

-Florence is correct.

-Yeah!

0:09:170:09:18

-Yes!

-APPLAUSE

0:09:180:09:20

Well, I like it, you're all of the mark.

0:09:230:09:25

And this is the final question now, so, pickers,

0:09:250:09:27

make your last choice in this round.

0:09:270:09:29

Tom and Samantha have gone

0:09:320:09:33

for the dish again.

0:09:330:09:34

Stuart and Elaine are going

0:09:340:09:35

for the helmet.

0:09:350:09:36

Sue and Jill really like

0:09:360:09:38

the centrepiece.

0:09:380:09:39

So, final question.

0:09:390:09:40

Which organisation has the slogan The High IQ Society?

0:09:400:09:45

-Yes, Tom?

-Mensa.

0:09:450:09:46

Yes, it is Mensa, congratulations.

0:09:460:09:48

The dish is going into your collection.

0:09:480:09:50

Right, let's have a look at the end of Round One,

0:09:500:09:53

how our teams' collections are building.

0:09:530:09:55

Tom and Samantha have the toy clown,

0:09:550:09:57

the dish, the watch,

0:09:570:09:59

the painting, the bottle

0:09:590:10:01

and the brooch.

0:10:010:10:02

Stuart and Elaine

0:10:020:10:03

have the pair of lamps

0:10:030:10:05

and Sue and Jill have the pot.

0:10:050:10:07

Well done, everybody.

0:10:070:10:09

Well, now our teams have started to build their collections,

0:10:090:10:11

but have they chosen wisely?

0:10:110:10:13

Before they have the chance to add more of them,

0:10:130:10:15

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

0:10:150:10:19

Team One, we're starting with you, Tom and Sam.

0:10:190:10:22

I know you say you've invented a game together

0:10:220:10:24

to play with this at home.

0:10:240:10:25

You even played together on Skype, is that right?

0:10:250:10:28

Yeah, we have a part-time...long-distance

0:10:280:10:30

-relationship, we spend...

-A part-time relationship?

0:10:300:10:33

-A long-distance relationship.

-I'm fired, right? OK.

0:10:330:10:36

During the week, we split between Reading and up north on the Wirrals,

0:10:360:10:40

so we spend three days apart a week, so we'll meet over Skype.

0:10:400:10:43

Sam, the reason why you have this long-distance relationship

0:10:430:10:47

is because you're in training?

0:10:470:10:49

You're part of Team GB, the hockey team.

0:10:490:10:52

Yes, very, very, very lucky to do what I do.

0:10:520:10:54

Absolutely love playing hockey

0:10:540:10:56

and very lucky to have such a supportive boyfriend.

0:10:560:10:58

-Why, thank you.

-Who I'm in a full-time relationship with.

0:10:580:11:01

Tom and Samantha, lovely to have you here.

0:11:010:11:03

Now, which lot would you like to hear more about from David?

0:11:030:11:06

It could be in your collection,

0:11:060:11:07

someone else's or something on the grid.

0:11:070:11:10

The pot, please.

0:11:100:11:12

The pot that is in Jill and Sue's collection.

0:11:120:11:16

This is a Delftware pot, perhaps better known as a Delft Blue.

0:11:160:11:22

This piece shows a farming scene and although you'll notice

0:11:220:11:26

the figures are absolutely hand-painted,

0:11:260:11:28

they all match each other exactly,

0:11:280:11:31

so a lot of care has gone into the making of this piece.

0:11:310:11:35

Now, Delft pottery is extremely collectable

0:11:350:11:39

and therefore has good commercial value.

0:11:390:11:42

However, they are produced en masse.

0:11:420:11:46

So, does the number of items available to buy

0:11:460:11:51

do anything to the value?

0:11:510:11:53

Stuart and Elaine, Team Two.

0:11:530:11:55

So, you say you're both musicians.

0:11:550:11:57

And Stuart, you managed to play on EastEnders?

0:11:570:12:00

I got asked to be an extra on the show there

0:12:010:12:03

and I was the local village organist.

0:12:030:12:05

So, I got to play the piano.

0:12:050:12:07

All you can see is the back of my head but nevertheless...

0:12:070:12:09

-But that is the lot of an organist, isn't it?

-Yeah, sadly.

-Very good.

0:12:090:12:13

-Elaine, you're a violin teacher.

-Yes.

0:12:130:12:16

-And you have a collection, you said, of 100 violins?

-Over 100, yes.

0:12:160:12:20

And I love them because they've got history,

0:12:200:12:22

they were played by our grandfathers and great-grandfathers.

0:12:220:12:25

I've got one tiny one that was played by a famous circus clown

0:12:250:12:30

called William Wallett to Queen Victoria.

0:12:300:12:33

-Wow.

-They're really special.

-Lovely.

0:12:330:12:35

Well, what would you like to hear more about from David?

0:12:350:12:38

The brooch, please.

0:12:380:12:40

OK, everybody liked the brooch,

0:12:400:12:43

but nobody could get their head around what it is.

0:12:430:12:45

This item is known as a five spray brooch.

0:12:450:12:50

Brooches like this are often made of silver or gold,

0:12:500:12:53

but this little baby is made from platinum and diamonds.

0:12:530:12:59

And the total diamond weight is approximately 2.75 carats.

0:12:590:13:06

Mm! It's the style of diamonds on this brooch

0:13:060:13:09

that should actually be noted.

0:13:090:13:11

By closely setting small diamonds together with minimum visibility,

0:13:110:13:16

the effect is one of continuous sparkle.

0:13:160:13:20

Now, Elaine, we don't know the exact era this brooch originates from,

0:13:200:13:23

but I can tell you that the late 19th-century diamond brooches

0:13:230:13:28

with a similar flower spray design are extremely rare nowadays.

0:13:280:13:33

We'll let you have a think about that while we meet Sue and Jill.

0:13:330:13:37

So, Sue, you go to a quiz every week.

0:13:370:13:39

Yes, four all of us girls go every Tuesday. We're called The Dipsticks.

0:13:390:13:43

THEY LAUGH

0:13:430:13:45

-Well, that's very good. Have you ever won?

-We have, actually.

0:13:450:13:48

-Twice, we've won.

-Very good.

0:13:480:13:50

And Jill, you have something that's jokingly now called

0:13:500:13:52

the Family Heirloom Table.

0:13:520:13:54

Well, we often used to go to salerooms and there were two tables,

0:13:540:13:59

a Pembroke table and a kitchen table covered with Formica.

0:13:590:14:03

And I bid £4 for the Pembroke table.

0:14:030:14:06

And then when we went to collect it, I bought the kitchen table instead!

0:14:060:14:10

Our husband took the Formica off and we polished it down

0:14:100:14:14

-and sanded it and it's in Sue's kitchen now.

-Lovely.

0:14:140:14:18

Well, what would you like to hear about from David?

0:14:180:14:21

-Oh, the picture, please.

-Ah, the oil painting.

0:14:210:14:24

This is an oil painting of a pastoral scene.

0:14:240:14:27

Now, it's untitled, it's undated and it's unsigned.

0:14:270:14:33

You all picked up on that.

0:14:330:14:35

Now, because this painting is unsigned,

0:14:350:14:37

its attribution was in some doubt, of course.

0:14:370:14:41

Until it entered a Sotheby's auction in the 1970s,

0:14:410:14:44

who then confirmed the attribution to the celebrated English painter

0:14:440:14:49

of animals and rustic scenes, George Morland.

0:14:490:14:54

He is an artist of great repute.

0:14:540:14:57

So, there is a great history attached here.

0:14:570:15:02

But is the attribution enough to tempt you to try and bag it?

0:15:020:15:09

Thank you, David.

0:15:090:15:10

I hope that's helped. Let's play Round Two.

0:15:100:15:13

APPLAUSE

0:15:130:15:16

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

0:15:160:15:19

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

0:15:190:15:23

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

0:15:230:15:27

and here they are.

0:15:270:15:28

So, if you were going for the box,

0:15:290:15:32

you'd be offered the choice of Tennis Questions or Animals.

0:15:320:15:36

At the end of this round,

0:15:360:15:37

the team with the least valuable collection will be eliminated,

0:15:370:15:40

so choose wisely.

0:15:400:15:42

Sam, what would you like to pick from the grid?

0:15:420:15:46

-I think we're going to go for the inkwell.

-The inkwell, OK.

0:15:460:15:50

Tom, would you like to answer a question on The Weather

0:15:500:15:53

or Celebrity Chefs?

0:15:530:15:55

-I'll take Celebrity Chefs.

-Celebrity Chefs, here we go.

0:15:550:15:58

What's the full name of the celebrity cook who published

0:15:580:16:02

How To Be A Domestic Goddess?

0:16:020:16:04

I think that's Delia Smith.

0:16:040:16:06

I think it's not.

0:16:060:16:08

It's Nigella Lawson!

0:16:080:16:10

The inkwell stays where it is.

0:16:100:16:12

Stuart and Elaine.

0:16:120:16:13

-Elaine, would you like to choose something from the grid?

-The helmet.

0:16:130:16:17

The helmet? OK, The Weather or Steven Spielberg, Stuart?

0:16:170:16:21

-The Weather, please.

-The Weather.

0:16:210:16:23

What scientific instrument is used to measure atmospheric pressure?

0:16:240:16:28

-A barometer.

-Correct, well done.

0:16:280:16:31

The helmet is yours.

0:16:310:16:32

And is in your collection.

0:16:330:16:35

-Jill, in Team Three, what would you like?

-The centrepiece, please.

0:16:360:16:40

OK, Sue. The Weather or The Romans.

0:16:400:16:43

-The Weather, I think, please.

-The Weather.

0:16:430:16:45

Noctilucent, nacreous and cirriform

0:16:470:16:51

are all types of what formation?

0:16:510:16:53

-Cloud.

-Correct.

0:16:530:16:55

There you go.

0:16:560:16:57

It's in your collection.

0:16:570:16:59

Now, teams, you've got the chance to collect something

0:16:590:17:02

that you may have missed out on, something that you really covet.

0:17:020:17:06

And it might be in someone else's collection.

0:17:060:17:08

So, from now on, you can either go for what's left on the grid

0:17:080:17:11

or you can steal a lot that's in a rival team's collection.

0:17:110:17:16

Use some strategy here.

0:17:160:17:17

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

0:17:170:17:21

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

0:17:210:17:24

Team One, do you want to pick from the grid or do you want to steal?

0:17:240:17:27

We'll steal the helmet, please.

0:17:270:17:29

Stealing the helmet from Stuart and Elaine.

0:17:290:17:31

What category do you think Tom's going to have the most trouble with?

0:17:310:17:34

-ELAINE:

-The Romans.

-The Romans.

0:17:340:17:36

Tom, the Pont du Gard bridge in France is an example of

0:17:360:17:40

what type of ancient Roman construction?

0:17:400:17:43

I'd guess an aqueduct.

0:17:440:17:45

Yes. So, the helmet comes out of Stuart and Elaine's

0:17:450:17:49

and goes to your collection.

0:17:490:17:51

Elaine, do you want to pick or steal?

0:17:530:17:55

I'd like to steal the brooch, please.

0:17:550:17:57

Steal the brooch from Tom and Samantha.

0:17:570:17:59

Right, Tom and Sam, you can now confer.

0:17:590:18:01

What question category would you like to give Stuart?

0:18:010:18:04

-We're going to go for The Romans.

-The Romans.

0:18:040:18:08

OK, Stuart.

0:18:080:18:09

In Roman numerals, what number does L represent?

0:18:090:18:12

50.

0:18:140:18:15

It is 50, correct.

0:18:150:18:16

The diamond brooch is yours.

0:18:160:18:18

It's winging its way out of

0:18:180:18:20

Tom and Sam's collection into yours.

0:18:200:18:22

There you go.

0:18:220:18:23

Right, Jill. Are you going to pick or steal?

0:18:230:18:28

I'd like to steal the painting.

0:18:280:18:30

Steal the painting? Oh!

0:18:300:18:33

Tom and Samantha, you are under attack here.

0:18:330:18:36

OK, Tom and Sam, you can confer.

0:18:360:18:38

May as well. Definitely not animals.

0:18:380:18:41

We'll test you on The Romans as well.

0:18:410:18:43

Romans again? OK, Sue, here you go.

0:18:430:18:45

What was the Roman name for Scotland?

0:18:450:18:47

Caledonia.

0:18:490:18:50

Yes, Caledonia!

0:18:500:18:51

Tom and Sam, that's being

0:18:510:18:53

lost from your collection,

0:18:530:18:54

it's going straight into

0:18:540:18:55

Sue and Jill's collection.

0:18:550:18:57

Samantha, pick or a steal.

0:18:570:18:59

-Steal, please.

-What would you like to steal?

0:18:590:19:01

Can we have the painting back, please?

0:19:010:19:03

OK, Sue and Jill. What category do you want to give poor Tom?

0:19:030:19:07

-JILL:

-The Weather.

-The Weather. Here's your question.

0:19:080:19:11

The Sirocco wind originates on which continent?

0:19:110:19:15

I'm going to have to guess at Africa.

0:19:150:19:16

It's correct.

0:19:160:19:18

The painting is yours again.

0:19:180:19:21

FERN LAUGHS

0:19:220:19:25

Phew! OK, Elaine, do you want to pick or steal?

0:19:250:19:28

I'd like to steal the painting!

0:19:280:19:30

Oh! OK, Tom and Sam.

0:19:300:19:32

What question would you like to give Stuart?

0:19:320:19:35

-Can we have Romans, please?

-Stick with it.

0:19:350:19:37

Romans, it is.

0:19:370:19:39

Which Roman emperor threatened to appoint his horse as a counsel?

0:19:390:19:43

Nero.

0:19:430:19:44

It wasn't Nero, no.

0:19:440:19:46

-Incorrect, it's Caligula.

-That's what I meant to say.

0:19:460:19:48

OK, the painting stays with you, Tom and Sam.

0:19:490:19:52

Jill, do you want to pick or steal again?

0:19:520:19:54

-I think I'd like to steal the brooch.

-From Stuart and Elaine?

0:19:540:19:58

Right, Stuart and Elaine. What category would you like to give Sue?

0:19:580:20:02

-The Romans again.

-The Romans!

0:20:030:20:06

Who knew they were so popular? Here we go.

0:20:070:20:10

What general name is given to open-air venues in which

0:20:100:20:13

ancient Romans would hold chariot races.

0:20:130:20:16

My mind's gone completely blank.

0:20:160:20:19

Erm, I can only think at arena.

0:20:220:20:24

Arena, I can accept.

0:20:240:20:27

The word we were looking for is circus but circus also means arena.

0:20:270:20:31

Therefore, you have won the brooch

0:20:310:20:33

from Stuart and Elaine.

0:20:330:20:36

Oh! Well, that is the end of

0:20:360:20:38

a very tricky round.

0:20:380:20:40

So, let's see how the collections are looking.

0:20:400:20:43

Tom and Sam, they have

0:20:430:20:45

the toy clown, the painting,

0:20:450:20:47

the watch, the bottle,

0:20:470:20:48

the dish and the helmet.

0:20:480:20:50

Stuart and Elaine are left

0:20:500:20:52

with the pair of lamps.

0:20:520:20:54

Sue and Jill have the pot,

0:20:540:20:56

the brooch, and the centrepiece.

0:20:560:20:58

Well, for one team, it is now the end of the road.

0:20:580:21:01

David has been keeping tabs

0:21:010:21:03

and the team with the least valuable collection will now be eliminated.

0:21:030:21:07

So, David, who's leaving us first?

0:21:070:21:10

Fern, I can reveal the pair leaving us first today is...

0:21:100:21:13

It's Stuart and Elaine.

0:21:180:21:20

-I'm so sorry, guys.

-APPLAUSE

0:21:200:21:23

We are so sorry to see you go.

0:21:280:21:30

And you are not only leaving the game,

0:21:300:21:33

but so is that beautiful pair of lamps.

0:21:330:21:36

I think we need to know how much they were worth

0:21:360:21:38

-and a bit more about them please, David.

-Yeah.

0:21:380:21:40

So, what we have is a very playful pair of Art Deco,

0:21:400:21:45

chrome, sea lion lamps.

0:21:450:21:47

Now, they are in good working order, in decent condition

0:21:470:21:52

and they come at a pair,

0:21:520:21:53

which always makes things much more valuable.

0:21:530:21:56

And Art Deco, in period.

0:21:560:21:58

So, from the 1920s,

0:21:580:22:00

from the boom time of the '20s to the bust of the 1930s.

0:22:000:22:04

But they're still supercool today and very much the current market

0:22:040:22:09

but not enough to keep you in the game.

0:22:090:22:12

With a remarkably low valuation,

0:22:120:22:15

£250.

0:22:150:22:17

Wow.

0:22:170:22:18

Well, they were a beautiful object and you had a very good eye.

0:22:180:22:21

You're just unfortunate, things being stolen from you.

0:22:210:22:24

But Stuart and Elaine, it's time to bring the hammer down

0:22:240:22:27

on your collection and say thank you for playing For What It's Worth.

0:22:270:22:30

-Thank you.

-APPLAUSE

0:22:300:22:32

So, Stuart and Elaine have left the show

0:22:350:22:37

and also the unclaimed items in the grid are now leaving the game too.

0:22:370:22:41

So, let's quickly find out from David what they were worth

0:22:410:22:44

and if the top lot is still in the game.

0:22:440:22:47

Hmm, this is where it all hots up.

0:22:470:22:49

So, first of all, the inkwell.

0:22:490:22:51

Now, this is an interesting little item.

0:22:510:22:53

It's a brass inkwell from the 1920s.

0:22:530:22:58

Many of these items similar to this, of course, have been manufactured.

0:22:580:23:02

However, this one comes with its original copper cups.

0:23:020:23:07

Condition is super.

0:23:070:23:09

Are you going to be disappointed it's leaving?

0:23:090:23:12

I think not. £80.

0:23:120:23:14

Now, moving on to the box.

0:23:150:23:18

Now, this particular box of Persian design has been hand-painted

0:23:180:23:23

and you can see how intricately the design on the top has been applied.

0:23:230:23:27

But does its heritage increase its value?

0:23:270:23:32

Well, I think you're all going to be absolutely delighted

0:23:320:23:34

because you've just disposed of the worthless item.

0:23:340:23:37

Well done!

0:23:370:23:39

Which means, David, the top lot worth £2,500 is still in the game.

0:23:390:23:44

-It's still there.

-So, it's somewhere in your collections.

0:23:440:23:47

So, teams, congratulations on getting this far.

0:23:470:23:49

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

0:23:490:23:52

Which lot do you need to know more about?

0:23:520:23:54

Team One, what would you like to hear about?

0:23:540:23:57

Can we hear about the centrepiece, please?

0:23:570:23:59

This is a Victorian, cranberry glass centrepiece.

0:23:590:24:02

Now, cranberry glass or gold ruby glass, is made by adding

0:24:020:24:07

tiny particles of gold to molten glass.

0:24:070:24:11

Meaning that more often than not, cranberry glass pieces

0:24:110:24:15

are individually handmade and not mass-produced.

0:24:150:24:20

Now, this particular piece is in good overall condition.

0:24:200:24:24

Although one of the arms doesn't quite fit,

0:24:240:24:27

so it might need a little bit of restoration.

0:24:270:24:30

However, these centrepieces retain a good commercial value.

0:24:300:24:35

But to you guys, how much is this thing worth?

0:24:350:24:39

Hmm, well, I'll leave you to cogitate on that

0:24:390:24:42

and ask Jill and Sue what they would like to hear more about.

0:24:420:24:46

-The watch, please.

-OK, you two.

0:24:460:24:48

So, here we have an early 20th-century,

0:24:480:24:52

Swiss lever, Masonic watch.

0:24:520:24:56

The triangular dial is made of the mother of pearl

0:24:560:24:58

and includes Masonic symbols in place of the numerals.

0:24:580:25:03

Now, the intricacy in the detail of the dial

0:25:030:25:05

is repeated on the casing, which is decorated with a chain

0:25:050:25:09

around the bezel and a sapphire at the top.

0:25:090:25:12

Similar watches can be found in silver,

0:25:120:25:16

but this one is made of gilt metal, making it much rarer.

0:25:160:25:21

However, remember, it's not gold.

0:25:210:25:24

So, does that help you?

0:25:240:25:26

Yes, thank you.

0:25:260:25:28

-I'm not sure.

-Yes!

0:25:280:25:30

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

0:25:300:25:33

we will have our winners.

0:25:330:25:34

APPLAUSE

0:25:340:25:37

In this round, I'll show you a category and 12 possible answers.

0:25:370:25:41

Nine of the answers are correct, three are not.

0:25:410:25:44

And each of you will then take turns

0:25:440:25:46

to choose an answer you think is correct.

0:25:460:25:48

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

0:25:480:25:51

so there's nowhere to hide.

0:25:510:25:53

Pick a wrong answer and your opponents will be able to

0:25:530:25:56

steal a lot from your collection.

0:25:560:25:58

If all nine correct answers are given,

0:25:580:26:01

then the team who gives the final correct answer will be the winners.

0:26:010:26:04

We'll play three questions in total

0:26:040:26:06

and the pair with the most valuable collection

0:26:060:26:08

can choose to go first or second.

0:26:080:26:10

So, David, who is that at the moment?

0:26:100:26:12

Well, I can reveal, Fern,

0:26:120:26:14

that the team who has the most valuable collection so far is...

0:26:140:26:19

-It's Tom and Samantha.

-HE LAUGHS

0:26:210:26:24

Ah, Tom and Samantha.

0:26:240:26:26

Have a look at this question.

0:26:260:26:27

So, you are looking for Knights of Camelot

0:26:300:26:33

who according to legend,

0:26:330:26:34

sat at the Round Table alongside King Arthur.

0:26:340:26:37

-Now, would you like to go first with this or second?

-We'll go first.

0:26:380:26:42

Here are the answers.

0:26:420:26:44

Nine of those are correct, three of them are false.

0:26:450:26:49

So here we go, Tom. Give me an answer.

0:26:490:26:51

I'll go Sir Galahad.

0:26:510:26:54

Sir Galahad. If it goes green, it's correct.

0:26:540:26:57

Correct!

0:26:570:26:58

-Sue?

-Sir Bedivere.

-Sir Bedivere.

0:26:590:27:03

-Yes, correct.

-Phew.

-Samantha?

0:27:040:27:07

-Sir Lamorak.

-Sir Lamorak.

0:27:070:27:09

Correct. Jill?

0:27:100:27:12

-Sir Gareth.

-Sir Gareth.

0:27:120:27:14

Correct. Tom?

0:27:160:27:17

-Sir Dagonet.

-Sir Dagonet.

0:27:180:27:21

Correct! Sue?

0:27:220:27:24

-Erm, Sir Mordred.

-Sir Mordred.

0:27:250:27:27

Correct. Samantha?

0:27:300:27:32

This is 50-50 now, three of those are right, three of them are wrong.

0:27:320:27:35

-Let's go for Sir Degore.

-Sir Degore.

0:27:350:27:38

-Correct!

-Oh, dear.

0:27:410:27:43

-Jill?

-Sir Kay.

-Sir Kay.

0:27:430:27:46

-Correct!

-I can't stand the nerves on this!

0:27:480:27:51

Tom? Only one of those left is correct.

0:27:510:27:55

I've got absolutely no idea, so I've got a 25% chance.

0:27:550:27:59

-I think I'll go for Sir Lucan.

-Sir Lucan.

0:27:590:28:02

Correct!

0:28:050:28:07

Well done, you've got all nine correct answers,

0:28:080:28:10

leaving those three.

0:28:100:28:12

Now, Sir Parry, of course, is actually a fencing move.

0:28:120:28:16

Sir Robin is from Monty Python.

0:28:160:28:19

And Sir Francis is Sir Francis Drake.

0:28:190:28:22

Tom and Samantha, because you were the last people to get

0:28:220:28:26

the last correct answer, it means you can steal from a Sue and Jill.

0:28:260:28:29

What would you like?

0:28:290:28:31

We are going to take back the brooch? The brooch, please.

0:28:310:28:35

The brooch. I'm sorry, Sue and Jill, it's leaving your collection,

0:28:350:28:38

it's flying into Tom and Sam's.

0:28:380:28:39

Plenty of time, though.

0:28:410:28:42

That was only the first question.

0:28:420:28:44

We've got another two to go.

0:28:440:28:45

OK, here comes question two and it's your turn, Sue and Jill.

0:28:450:28:49

Let's have a look at the question.

0:28:490:28:50

You need to identify the names of singles released

0:28:540:28:57

by the late great David Bowie which have charted in the UK's Top 40.

0:28:570:29:02

-Do you want to play first or second?

-We'll stay first.

-First.

0:29:020:29:06

Let's have a look at the answers.

0:29:060:29:07

Sue, give me an answer.

0:29:100:29:12

Erm, Space Oddity.

0:29:130:29:15

Space Oddity.

0:29:150:29:17

Correct. From 1969, extraordinary enough.

0:29:170:29:21

Tom, give me an answer.

0:29:210:29:23

-Life On Mars.

-Life On Mars.

0:29:230:29:26

Yes, of course, it's correct. 1973.

0:29:270:29:30

Jill.

0:29:300:29:31

-Intergalactic.

-Intergalactic.

0:29:330:29:35

Oh!

0:29:380:29:39

That was by the Beastie Boys.

0:29:390:29:42

OK, let's have a look at which ones there are real

0:29:420:29:47

and which ones are not.

0:29:470:29:49

So, Princess Of China is wrong,

0:29:490:29:51

but he did have a single called China Girl, of course.

0:29:510:29:53

Pillowtalk is Zayn Malik and Intergalactic, as we said,

0:29:530:29:57

is the Beastie Boys.

0:29:570:29:58

Tom and Sam, get ready to steal.

0:29:580:30:00

-What do you want from Sue and Jill's collection?

-Centrepiece, please.

0:30:000:30:04

The beautiful centrepiece,

0:30:040:30:06

it's going to break Jill's heart,

0:30:060:30:07

is going over to your collection.

0:30:070:30:10

Final question, Team One.

0:30:100:30:12

Can you spot the real words from the NATO Phonetic Alphabet

0:30:150:30:18

used by police, military and other emergency and armed forces?

0:30:180:30:22

Tom and Samantha, first or second?

0:30:220:30:24

We'll go first.

0:30:240:30:26

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

0:30:260:30:28

-Tom, give me an answer.

-Alpha.

-Alpha.

0:30:300:30:33

Yes, A for alpha.

0:30:360:30:38

-Sue?

-Golf.

-Golf.

0:30:380:30:40

Yes, G for golf.

0:30:420:30:44

-Samantha?

-Charlie.

0:30:440:30:45

Charlie.

0:30:470:30:49

Yes, C for Charlie. Jill?

0:30:490:30:51

-Echo.

-Echo.

0:30:510:30:53

Of course, E for echo, well done. Tom?

0:30:560:30:58

-Romeo.

-Romeo.

0:30:580:31:00

Yes, R for Romeo. Sue?

0:31:020:31:04

-Uniform.

-Uniform.

0:31:040:31:06

Yes, uniform.

0:31:080:31:10

-Samantha?

-Kilo.

0:31:100:31:12

Kilo.

0:31:120:31:14

Yes, K for kilo. Jill?

0:31:140:31:16

-Yankee.

-Yankee?

0:31:160:31:18

Yes, Y for Yankee.

0:31:200:31:23

Tom, one correct on the board again.

0:31:230:31:26

-Which one are you going for?

-Hotel.

-Hotel.

0:31:260:31:29

Yes, of course. H for hotel.

0:31:320:31:35

Well played.

0:31:350:31:38

Let's have a look at the wrong ones.

0:31:380:31:40

Z is actually for Zulu, not zoo.

0:31:420:31:45

N would normally be November, not north.

0:31:450:31:49

And M should have been for Mike.

0:31:490:31:52

Well played, Tom and Samantha.

0:31:520:31:56

-You may as well clean Sue and Jill out while they're here.

-Yes!

0:31:560:31:59

They have a pot left. Would you like it?

0:31:590:32:02

-Come on, then!

-I'm not...

-SHE LAUGHS

0:32:040:32:07

I'm so sorry, Sue and Jill.

0:32:070:32:09

The pot is leaving you.

0:32:090:32:11

OK, that is your collections

0:32:110:32:14

now fixed.

0:32:140:32:15

David, can you possibly tell me

0:32:150:32:17

who's got the collection that's the most valuable?

0:32:170:32:20

OK, Fern.

0:32:200:32:21

The team with the most valuable collection because they've

0:32:210:32:24

effectively plundered poor Sue and Jill is Tom and Samantha.

0:32:240:32:30

Well done!

0:32:300:32:31

Just to make it more painful!

0:32:340:32:36

At this point,

0:32:370:32:38

we would normally ask David to let you know the valuation of the things

0:32:380:32:41

-that were left in your collection, but there's nothing there.

-No.

0:32:410:32:44

-But have you enjoyed it?

-Very much, thank you.

0:32:440:32:47

Well, we've thoroughly enjoyed having you as well.

0:32:470:32:49

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

0:32:490:32:52

APPLAUSE

0:32:520:32:54

Well done, Tom and Sam.

0:32:560:32:57

You are today's very clear winners

0:32:570:32:59

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

0:32:590:33:02

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

0:33:020:33:05

and we will give you its value in cash.

0:33:050:33:07

So, which one do you want to choose?

0:33:070:33:10

I think we're torn between the painting and the brooch.

0:33:100:33:13

I really like the painting as well.

0:33:130:33:14

When we first went in the room, the painting caught our eye.

0:33:140:33:17

Who wants to stare at a cow's behind? I'm just not convinced.

0:33:170:33:21

Well, you're the best picker. That's why.

0:33:210:33:24

We'll go with the painting.

0:33:240:33:25

-We'll go with the painting, please, Fern.

-The painting?

-Yes!

0:33:250:33:28

But before we tell you what it's worth, David, what haven't they won?

0:33:280:33:31

Right, OK. Well, then, you two. Let's start with the silver dish.

0:33:310:33:36

Now, you didn't like it, you pretty much rejected it from the beginning.

0:33:360:33:41

Let's see if you were right.

0:33:410:33:42

So, this is a beautifully fluted silver-plated dish

0:33:420:33:47

produced by Elkington & Co.

0:33:470:33:50

Now, Elkington & Co was a Birmingham silverware company,

0:33:500:33:54

producing fine silverware.

0:33:540:33:56

And get this, they supplied plated wares

0:33:560:34:00

to the luxury dining sections of the Titanic.

0:34:000:34:04

The dish is in very good condition, it has a domed centre.

0:34:040:34:09

It would have primarily been used as a table centrepiece,

0:34:090:34:12

probably housing fruit.

0:34:120:34:15

£30, well done. Ho-ho!

0:34:150:34:17

-You made it sound so lucrative!

-Right.

0:34:170:34:19

He made it sound like two-and-a-half grand!

0:34:190:34:21

Now I'm going to move on to something, I cannot believe

0:34:210:34:24

you rejected this little fellow.

0:34:240:34:26

We're going to talk about the toy clown.

0:34:260:34:29

This, guys, is a wind-up clockwork toy

0:34:290:34:31

from the German toymakers Schuco.

0:34:310:34:34

And their early history was associated with a chap called

0:34:340:34:37

Henrich Muller, who as a 17-year-old,

0:34:370:34:40

developed all these lovely ideas for toys.

0:34:400:34:43

Now, the company's speciality was usually cars and trucks

0:34:430:34:47

in tin, plastic and diecast.

0:34:470:34:50

However, they also produced other items which were much rarer

0:34:500:34:56

such as gnomes and clowns.

0:34:560:34:59

So, have you rejected the big one?

0:34:590:35:04

£150, you haven't.

0:35:040:35:06

-Oh!

-We chose that first. What were we thinking?

0:35:070:35:10

OK, now we're going to move on to the bottle.

0:35:100:35:13

Now, you both loved the bottle.

0:35:130:35:16

These were hand-blown glass bottles, which were used aboard ships

0:35:160:35:20

to hold wine or brandy.

0:35:200:35:22

On rough seas, the bottles were fashioned with

0:35:220:35:25

a very wide bottom shape to prevent toppling,

0:35:250:35:28

thus making the bottles look somewhat like an onion.

0:35:280:35:32

Now, this may look like a simple item,

0:35:320:35:34

but they are considered to be incredibly rare

0:35:340:35:37

because, as you can imagine, many of them just don't survive today.

0:35:370:35:41

You spotted it really well and it has a nice, meaty value.

0:35:410:35:47

£300.

0:35:470:35:49

-You liked that, though?

-Yeah.

-How are you feeling now?

0:35:490:35:53

Sam's knowledge is pretty good. All going well so far.

0:35:530:35:55

See how you get on with that painting.

0:35:550:35:57

Now we're going to move on to the centrepiece. Did you like it?

0:35:570:36:01

We didn't see any markings,

0:36:010:36:02

-so it kind of put us off really, didn't it?

-Well, yeah.

0:36:020:36:05

But you picked up on a lot of good points.

0:36:050:36:07

You picked up the fact that it was blown glass,

0:36:070:36:09

they picked up on the bubbles, that it was handmade.

0:36:090:36:11

So, you had a real good feeling for it.

0:36:110:36:13

I think you're probably right

0:36:130:36:15

because even though it's cranberry, it's definitely Victorian,

0:36:150:36:18

the market has dipped quite dramatically in the last few years.

0:36:180:36:22

So, it's worth £400.

0:36:220:36:25

So next, Fern, we're going to look at the watch.

0:36:260:36:29

We've already talked about the watch.

0:36:290:36:31

We've got the Masonic connection.

0:36:310:36:33

You two I don't think picked up on that.

0:36:330:36:36

But it's very, very important.

0:36:360:36:38

Anything Masonic is highly collectable.

0:36:380:36:41

This one's quite rare and it's worth £500.

0:36:410:36:45

The helmet, you both quite liked it.

0:36:460:36:49

Now, this historical item

0:36:490:36:51

is actually a paratrooper's steel helmet.

0:36:510:36:55

Now, the owner is unknown,

0:36:550:36:56

but we know that this helmet would have been used in the majority

0:36:560:37:00

of the early to late British airborne operations in World War II.

0:37:000:37:06

Now, they saw a lot of use, chaps, on D-Day

0:37:060:37:09

with many photographs from the time showing soldiers wearing them.

0:37:090:37:13

It's clearly got lots of historical value.

0:37:130:37:17

But does it have the financial value to match it?

0:37:170:37:21

Well, I can tell you.

0:37:210:37:23

For an old helmet, it's worth £700.

0:37:230:37:27

Still in there.

0:37:270:37:28

We're going to look now at the Delftware pot.

0:37:280:37:32

You two were rejecting this in the early stages, I believe.

0:37:320:37:35

We couldn't see a mark on it, so we thought it might be

0:37:350:37:37

-a generic item rather than anything.

-Sure, OK.

0:37:370:37:39

Most people felt it was Chinese.

0:37:390:37:41

Well, Delftware is pretty much a copy of Chinese pieces.

0:37:410:37:43

Because at that time, we couldn't produce the final porcelain

0:37:430:37:46

Chinese wares, so we made this Delft in Holland

0:37:460:37:50

and other places to copy it.

0:37:500:37:51

But you know what?

0:37:510:37:52

For this little pot, it has quite a decent value.

0:37:520:37:58

And you're going to be surprised when I tell you

0:37:580:38:01

it's worth £1,000.

0:38:010:38:04

OK, the final item, Fern, is the brooch.

0:38:040:38:08

I think everybody liked the brooch.

0:38:080:38:10

We couldn't get to grips with it, but then, of course,

0:38:100:38:12

once we discovered it was platinum and diamond, everybody wanted it.

0:38:120:38:17

You've rejected it. It's a cracking thing.

0:38:170:38:20

The market loves it and it loves it so much,

0:38:200:38:24

somebody would very happily pay

0:38:240:38:27

£1,500.

0:38:270:38:29

Well done, got the painting!

0:38:290:38:30

So, what does that mean?

0:38:300:38:33

-Well, I think it's pretty clear.

-Yeah.

0:38:330:38:35

-That Tom and Sam have won the top lot.

-They certainly have.

0:38:350:38:39

APPLAUSE

0:38:390:38:40

Amazing.

0:38:430:38:44

This painting, unsigned but attributed to George Morland

0:38:460:38:49

but unsigned is worth?

0:38:490:38:51

£2,500!

0:38:510:38:54

-Whoo!

-APPLAUSE

0:38:540:38:56

You've got a very good eye, Samantha. Yes, you have.

0:38:590:39:03

But can we tempt you to swap it for the mystery lot,

0:39:030:39:06

which could be worth even more?

0:39:060:39:08

Ooh!

0:39:120:39:14

Well, Tom and Sam, here it is.

0:39:140:39:15

As things stand, you have won this painting's value in cash.

0:39:150:39:19

We know it's the top lot, we know you have won £2,500.

0:39:190:39:22

But the game is not over yet

0:39:220:39:24

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

0:39:240:39:28

Hmm, now are you ready for this? You've played so, so well.

0:39:280:39:32

Let's see how really good you are.

0:39:320:39:34

So, let me try and tempt you, you two.

0:39:340:39:38

This is a Victorian-cased Meerschaum pipe smoking set

0:39:380:39:45

with 18-carat gold mounts.

0:39:450:39:48

Meerschaum is German for foam of the sea.

0:39:480:39:51

This particular one is marked

0:39:510:39:54

RD London, 1853.

0:39:540:39:59

And its mouthpiece and other fittings are made from real amber.

0:39:590:40:05

Now, when smoked,

0:40:050:40:07

Meerschaum pipes gradually change colour over time

0:40:070:40:11

and you'll start to get these lovely shades of yellow, of orange,

0:40:110:40:15

of red and of amber working from the base upwards.

0:40:150:40:21

Now, Tom and Sam, this is an elaborate piece

0:40:210:40:24

and harks back to the bygone age of pipe-smoking.

0:40:240:40:29

But you've got to work out does its unusual nature

0:40:290:40:33

reflect in its value?

0:40:330:40:35

-Over to you.

-Wow.

0:40:350:40:37

All that's required from you now is to decide

0:40:370:40:40

whether to take home the value of the painting from your collection

0:40:400:40:44

or to dump it in favour of today's mystery lot, this pipe.

0:40:440:40:48

To be honest, I'm quite baffled and confused.

0:40:480:40:52

It sounds fabulous, what you said about it.

0:40:520:40:54

My gut instinct is to stick with the painting.

0:40:560:40:58

When I was sat back there, I thought

0:40:580:41:01

unless something like the Turin shroud comes from under that,

0:41:010:41:04

we're sticking with the painting.

0:41:040:41:06

However...

0:41:060:41:07

..it might be a bag of magic beans, I'm halfway sold,

0:41:080:41:12

but I think a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. Agreed?

0:41:120:41:15

-I agree, I think you're right there.

-Let's do it.

0:41:150:41:19

OK, that was a pretty quick deliberation.

0:41:190:41:21

So, the mystery lot is now rejected.

0:41:210:41:23

OK, David. Give them the news.

0:41:230:41:25

Right, OK.

0:41:250:41:26

When you come to value something like this,

0:41:260:41:29

you've got to think of rarity, condition and quality.

0:41:290:41:33

This is pipe-smoking, there are collectors all over the world

0:41:330:41:36

for this kind of thing and it's at the top level.

0:41:360:41:39

You've got real amber, incredible value.

0:41:390:41:42

You've got 18-carat solid gold, you've got its original box,

0:41:420:41:46

it's stamped, it's dated 1853.

0:41:460:41:49

If I'm a pipe collector, I will do anything to bag that.

0:41:490:41:54

Guys.

0:41:540:41:56

-You have just thrown away...

-Oh!

0:41:560:41:58

-..£1,200.

-Oh!

0:42:000:42:02

Don't do that!

0:42:030:42:04

You did really well. That was amazing.

0:42:070:42:10

-Oh, my gosh.

-Wow!

0:42:100:42:12

-Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

-Well, exactly. You've been amazing.

0:42:120:42:16

Because I think Sherlock Holmes smoked a Meerschaum, didn't he?

0:42:160:42:19

Even Sherlock Holmes wouldn't be able to afford that.

0:42:190:42:21

It's a stunning piece.

0:42:210:42:22

Well, you've played without fault, absolutely without fault.

0:42:220:42:25

Today, Tom and Sam are going home with a £2,500.

0:42:250:42:29

-Congratulations.

-Immense.

-Thank you.

-It's really wonderful.

0:42:290:42:32

-Thank you so much.

-Thank you.

-Tom, it's just marvellous.

0:42:320:42:37

What will you do with the money?

0:42:370:42:39

We said if we were fortunate enough to get to the end,

0:42:390:42:41

we'd look to buy for when Sam goes over to the Olympics,

0:42:410:42:44

-some sticks to go and hand out, really, to the kids.

-Hockey sticks?

0:42:440:42:49

That is a wonderful thing.

0:42:490:42:50

Thank you both so much and good luck with the Olympics, of course.

0:42:500:42:54

-The wonderful Tom and Sam.

-Amazing.

0:42:540:42:56

Thank you very much, as always, for handing us all your expertise

0:43:010:43:05

and knowledge there.

0:43:050:43:06

-We'll see you next time.

-Brilliant.

0:43:060:43:08

And very much to looking forward to seeing you next time

0:43:080:43:11

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

0:43:110:43:13

on For What It's Worth.

0:43:130:43:14

See you next time. Goodbye for now.

0:43:140:43:16

Really fantastic!
