0:00:15 > 0:00:18Hello and welcome to For What It's Worth,
0:00:18 > 0:00:22the quiz show in which the hardest question of all is -
0:00:22 > 0:00:23"What's it worth?"
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Three pairs of contestants are ready to play,
0:00:25 > 0:00:29each team has a quizzer who has to answer a general knowledge question
0:00:29 > 0:00:31correctly, so that their partner,
0:00:31 > 0:00:34the picker, has a chance to choose an antique or collectable
0:00:34 > 0:00:35and build a collection.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39And the aim of the game is to amass the most valuable collection.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Guiding us through the pleasures and pitfalls of the antiques world
0:00:42 > 0:00:45is our very own resident expert.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Would you please welcome Paul Laidlaw!
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Paul, lovely to have you here.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- Thank you very much. - Looking very spiffing in your suit,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- I like that very much. - That's very kind of you.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- Spiffing's a first, but I'll take it.- It's very...
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Yes, probably curiously English rather than Scottish word, spiffing.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Now, tell me about the lots we've got here today.
0:01:04 > 0:01:11Teams, for your consideration today, we have a screen,
0:01:11 > 0:01:13a paperweight,
0:01:13 > 0:01:14a watch,
0:01:14 > 0:01:16a book,
0:01:16 > 0:01:20a table, a figure,
0:01:20 > 0:01:22some cups,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25some candlesticks,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27decanter labels...
0:01:28 > 0:01:29..a vase,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31cellars
0:01:31 > 0:01:34and a chest of drawers.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Hm, now one of these items is our top lot, which is worth a whopping
0:01:37 > 0:01:43£2,500. That is the lot to spot because at the end of the show,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46the winning pair will walk away with the cash equivalent of one of their
0:01:46 > 0:01:50items. But beware, because the lots decrease in value
0:01:50 > 0:01:53right down to our worthless lot, which is no more
0:01:53 > 0:01:54than a tenner or less.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57That, of course, is the lot to avoid.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59So, who's playing today? Let's meet the teams.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Team One, who are you?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I'm Phyllis and this is my granddaughter Chloe.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08My nanna likes oil lamps and I'm a quizzing nerd.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Very good, welcome to the show.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Team Two, who are you?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Hi, I'm Andy and this is my partner, Mark.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19And we're from Birmingham and we like to collect lustreware.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Lustreware. Ohh.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23And Team Three, who are you?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I'm Linda and this is my husband, Bob.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30We worked most of our careers in universities and our particular
0:02:30 > 0:02:33specialism is collecting clocks.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Oh, university.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36They'll be clever.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Now earlier, our teams got to inspect our lots,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41watched over by Paul, our expert.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45But could they separate the rust from the gold dust?
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Let's see.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49- OK, right.- OK.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50- Oh.- Ohh.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Oh. Look at this.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Salt cellars.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Well, it's definitely quite a few hallmarks, isn't it?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02It is a London hallmark, I think. I think.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Someone did their homework.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08This is the book, Tom Sawyer Abroad.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10The pages look very old, don't they, the edges?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Do you think that's a first edition?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- Chatto and Windus.- Well, that's English, though, isn't it?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- Could be.- So, surely it'll be an American publisher, wouldn't it?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Oh, very, very astute.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- They're Japanese, aren't they? - Yeah.- They're Japanese geishas.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31It looks pretty genuine and old, I think.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Is it worth anything, though? Come on.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- It's got a key.- So it must open.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Is it a fire screen, do you think?
0:03:39 > 0:03:45It obviously opens up and you can't work out why.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48It's in good condition, isn't it?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51So, you probably would pay quite a bit for it, I would have thought.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54It's very ornate, Victorian maybe.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56They are on it.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01The hands are incredibly delicate.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I don't think I've seen hands like that before.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- Like mine.- Yes.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12- What do you think of that? - Is there a name?- I can't see one.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17- Ah. Lalique. That's a name, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- I do like it.- Is it a pig?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I don't know, these look a bit...a little bit tacky, don't they?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Hm.- 19th-century designer turning in grave.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30What about the eyes, are those rubies?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Rubies, do you think? - Could be glass.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Do you reckon?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I quite like those cups.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40The fact they're cracked, I think...probably a good sign.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I don't like those at all.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44You watch, they'll be worth a fortune.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45OK, fair enough.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49What do you think about those decanters?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- They're the booby prize. - Do you reckon?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54They're silver. Hallmarked.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Wouldn't have thought that would be worth...worth much.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I mean, it is very ornate.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Yeah, but they make hundreds of them, don't they?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I don't think this is worth a great deal,
0:05:08 > 0:05:10just mainly because the back looks so badly made.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Why are you obsessed with the back?
0:05:13 > 0:05:14It's against the wall!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- It's a bit whiffy. - Well, it's old, what do you expect?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I know. Well, that's a good sign, isn't it?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Whiffy's a good sign, that's a first.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- So, top lot, we're thinking the...- Table.- ..table.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27The top lot is the vase.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29You're having the Lalique. End of.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33And the bottom lot is the decanter labels.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34It's the paperweight.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36So, I'm going to go for the chest of drawers.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- Right, let's go on and discuss strategy.- Yes.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Interesting, Paul.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45So, when you were watching them, were any of them any good?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49I think some were pretty warm, if we're playing that game.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Many were pretty cool, however.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Now, tell me how you arrive at the valuation of these things.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Yes, the values for each lot have been agreed by myself
0:05:59 > 0:06:00and an independent valuer.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03They're based on hammer price we would expect them to reach at
0:06:03 > 0:06:06auction, but with no auction costs added.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11And just to add an extra twist, we have our Mystery Lot,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14which could be worth thousands or it could be worth peanuts,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17but that is for our winners to decide later.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20But for now, it is time for Round 1.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22APPLAUSE
0:06:24 > 0:06:27I'm going to ask eight general knowledge questions.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Pickers, before each one,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I'll ask you to select which lot you would like to play for.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35And, quizzers, if you buzz in with a correct answer,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38you'll get to add it to your collection. But beware,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41buzz in incorrectly and you'll be frozen out of the next question.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44So, pickers, please would you make your first pick?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Let's see what you have all chosen.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51FERN GASPS
0:06:51 > 0:06:54So, Chloe and Phyllis, you want the table.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Andy and Mark, the book. And, Bob and Linda, you want the vase.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Quizzers, fingers on buzzers, here comes question one.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Held annually in London,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06what is the name of the world's second largest street festival?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Yes, Chloe?- Notting Hill Carnival.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Correct. The table is yours.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16The Rio Carnival, of course, is the biggest in the world.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Pickers, make a pick.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Chloe and Phyllis, you want the book this time.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27Andy and Mark want the vase, but so do Bob and Linda.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Two teams after one lot, let's see what happens with question two.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Which well-known astronomical phenomenon is visible from Earth
0:07:34 > 0:07:37every 75 to 76 years?
0:07:37 > 0:07:38- Yes, Bob?- Halley's Comet.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40It is Halley's Comet, yes.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Bob, the vase is yours.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Oh, Andy and Mark, you missed that one.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Never mind, here we go.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Pickers, make a pick.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54Chloe and Phyllis want the figure, Andy and Mark want the screen,
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Bob and Linda want the watch.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Quizzers, fingers on buzzers, question three.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02In a popular nursery rhyme, which insect is told to fly away home?
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Yes, Andy?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05A ladybird.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Correct, it is a ladybird, and the screen is yours.- Yay. Thank you.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Pickers, make a pick.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Chloe and Phyllis going for the drawers. Andy and Mark,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20you really want that book. Bob and Linda - the watch.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24The singer Shakira was born in which South American country?
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Yes, Chloe?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Is it Columbia? - Correct, it is Columbia!
0:08:30 > 0:08:31The chest of drawers are yours.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Well done. Pickers, make a pick.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Chloe and Phyllis want the cups, Andy and Mark - the figure,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Bob and Linda really want that watch.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45This is the third time they've picked it.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Question five. Which black and white animal appears
0:08:49 > 0:08:50on the logo of the charity WWF?
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Yes, Chloe?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- A panda. - The giant panda, actually.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57But, yes, that is correct, and the cups are yours.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Pickers, make another pick.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Chloe and Phyllis want the watch,
0:09:04 > 0:09:09Andy and Mark want that figure and Bob and Linda want the watch still.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12It's a battle now between Team One and Team Three.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Question six, quizzers, fingers on buzzers.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17The name Big Ben specifically refers to which part of the...
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Yes, Chloe?
0:09:19 > 0:09:20The bell.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23The full question is - the name Big Ben specifically refers to
0:09:23 > 0:09:25which part of the famous London landmark?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28And it is the main big bell.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30So, Chloe, the watch is yours.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Bob and Linda, that was snatched from you.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Pickers, make a pick.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Chloe and Phyllis want the cellars,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Andy and Mark still going for that figure
0:09:42 > 0:09:44and Bob and Linda want the book.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Question seven. Which '90s legal drama was set
0:09:48 > 0:09:50at the Boston law firm Cage and Fish?
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Chloe?
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Ally McBeal.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54It was Ally McBeal, congratulations.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Those cellars are yours.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00You're doing very well, Chloe and Phyllis, very well indeed.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Come along, Andy and Bob. Come on. Pickers, make a pick.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Chloe and Phyllis want the figure, Andy and Mark still want the figure,
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Bob and Linda still want the book.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15This is the final question in this round.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18What is the astrological sign of someone born on April Fools' Day?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Yes, Andy?- Taurus.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Incorrect. Aries.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30Shame. Let's have a look at your collections at the end of Round 1.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32And Chloe and Phyllis have
0:10:32 > 0:10:35the table, the drawers, the cups,
0:10:35 > 0:10:38the watch and the cellars.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Andy and Mark have the screen
0:10:40 > 0:10:43and Bob and Linda have the vase.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Well, our teams have started to build their collections,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47but have they chosen wisely?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Well, before they have the chance to add more of them,
0:10:49 > 0:10:54Paul is going to give each pair a fact about a lot of their choice.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Chloe and Phyllis. First of all, let's find out a bit more about you.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58What do you do, Chloe?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I'm a criminal lawyer in Hampshire.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Are you?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Yes.- Are you one of those ones that if you've got arrested and taken to
0:11:06 > 0:11:07the police station they go,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10"OK, you can call a lawyer," and you're the duty lawyer?
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Yeah, that's it.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Yeah, two in the morning, out I go.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15And I understand you love a quiz?
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Yes.- And you're competitive? - Yes, I am a bit, yeah.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Well, it's starting to look that way, I must say.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23And sitting next to you is Phyllis.
0:11:23 > 0:11:29- Who bossed you into doing this, Phyllis?- My granddaughter Chloe.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Did she ask you or did she say...? - No, she said, "You're doing it."
0:11:32 > 0:11:35And here you are.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36What would you like to know more about?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38The chest of drawers, please.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Now, English furniture of the Georgian era
0:11:41 > 0:11:46is renowned for its quality of material, design and construction.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48It's veneered in mahogany with brass handles.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Now, while these drawers are in very good condition,
0:11:51 > 0:11:55the antiques market for large pieces of so-called brown furniture such as
0:11:55 > 0:11:59this has taken a bit of a downturn in recent years.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Is the condition of this item enough to warrant a high value
0:12:02 > 0:12:07or is it a case of back to the drawer-ing board?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11FERN LAUGHS OK, that's something for you to think about, Phyllis and Chloe.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12It is. Thank you.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Andy and Mark, how long have you two been together?
0:12:16 > 0:12:1830 years, come July.
0:12:18 > 0:12:2130 years? You don't look old enough.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22- Thank you.- Ridiculous.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Tell me about the Playgirls.
0:12:25 > 0:12:31Many years ago, we became semi-professional drag artists.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36Mark used to do impersonations of Shirley Bassey and Diana Ross.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Long time ago. - And me, with the nose,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42used to do Cher and Barbra Streisand.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Of course. How fantastic.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Well, I wonder if there's anything here that's caught your eye today
0:12:47 > 0:12:49that you'd like to know more about?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Yes, I'd like to know more about the book.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Well, this is a novel by Samuel Langhorne Clemens,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57otherwise known as Mark Twain.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Tom Sawyer Abroad -
0:12:58 > 0:13:02this book is part of a series of books featuring Twain's most famous
0:13:02 > 0:13:05character - Tom Sawyer, friend of Huck Finn.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Bound in a beautiful red, gilt and black binding, a few marks,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12a little fading perhaps, but it's in pretty good condition.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17Now, you could buy such a copy in a local bookshop for under £10.
0:13:17 > 0:13:23However, this is a British first edition, published in 1894.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28This novel's not his most famous, but the history, the association,
0:13:28 > 0:13:33the author and the subject make it an extremely interesting lot.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36OK, while you think about that, let's meet Bob and Linda.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41So, Bob, did you spend most of your working life in universities?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Yes, when I left university, I didn't know what I wanted to do,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47but the only thing I didn't want to do was teaching,
0:13:47 > 0:13:51and subsequently ended up in teaching for 36 years.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53And what was your subject?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Economics with finance.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Lovely. Linda, how did you both meet?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01We met at a country club in Cheshire.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04And Bob's chat up line was,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06"Would you like to come to see the Villa on Saturday?"
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- And I said, "No thank you." - He invited you to the football?!
0:14:09 > 0:14:10But we're still together.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Incredible. Well, you must've fallen in love pretty quickly after
0:14:15 > 0:14:17the football gaff, but that's fine.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20OK, which lot would you like to know more about?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I think I'd like to know about the screen, please.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- The screen.- What we have here is a 19th-century fire screen.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30When open fires were the only way of heating the home,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33they would've been a very popular household accessory.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36They were used to shield the people in the room from the harsh glare of
0:14:36 > 0:14:38the flames and would have protected
0:14:38 > 0:14:41ladies' delicate porcelain complexions.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45This particular one is decorated in the Japanese-influenced
0:14:45 > 0:14:47style typical of the Aesthetic Movement.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50It's in good condition, but will this fan the fires
0:14:50 > 0:14:52of your collection?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- Hmm.- Hmm.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00So, I hope that has helped, teams, cos it's now time to play Round 2.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03APPLAUSE
0:15:04 > 0:15:07In this round, the pickers will select a lot to play for
0:15:07 > 0:15:11and the quizzers will again try and secure it by answering correctly.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13But this time around, the lots come with their own
0:15:13 > 0:15:15question categories, and here they are.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20So, for instance, if you went for the paperweight in the middle,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I would ask your quizzer to choose a question between
0:15:22 > 0:15:27Ancient Egypt or US Politics. OK?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29At the end of this round,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32the team with the least valuable collection will be eliminated,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34so choose wisely.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Chloe and Phyllis, you're up first.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Phyllis, what would you like to pick from the board?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Um...the figure, please. - The figure.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45The Olympics or US Politics, Chloe?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- The Olympics, please.- The Olympics.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Which city has been chosen to host the 2020 Summer Olympics?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Qatar.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Not Qatar.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Tokyo. The figure stays on the board.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Andy and Mark. Mark, what would you like?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- The figure.- The figure.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08The Olympics or US Politics, Andy?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- I'll go for US Politics, I think, Fern, please.- US Politics.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Which US political party is sometimes known
0:16:14 > 0:16:15as the Grand Old Party?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19I have no idea.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Um, I'll go for the Democrats.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Oh, it's the other one - the Republican Party.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29OK, the figure's desperately...going to stay on the board.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Linda, what would you like?
0:16:31 > 0:16:32I'd like the book, please.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36The book. Ancient Egypt or Italian Food, Bob?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Ancient Egypt.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40What title's most commonly used to refer to
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Egyptian kings and queens?
0:16:43 > 0:16:44I'm sure it's obvious.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Poor Linda, she's bursting with it.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Pharaohs.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- Correct. Congratulations.- Oh.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Pharaohs is correct. The book is yours.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Well, deserved, there you go.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Right, we're going to have another pass at this.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04But this time, have you missed something that you really,
0:17:04 > 0:17:06really want in your collection?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Because if so, here's a chance to get your hands on it.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12From now on, you can either go for what's left on the grid
0:17:12 > 0:17:16or you can try to steal a lot that's in a rival team's collection.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Pickers, be warned.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19If you choose to steal from another team,
0:17:19 > 0:17:22they will get to choose which category your quizzer
0:17:22 > 0:17:25must face and you cannot steal from a team who has only one lot
0:17:25 > 0:17:26in their collection.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29So, Andy and Mark, you are safe at the moment.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33So, Chloe and Phyllis, would you like to pick or steal for this?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I'll pick. You'll pick...?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- The figure.- The figure.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39You're determined to get it.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41You're sticking there like a limpet.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43The Olympics or US Politics, Chloe?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- I'll try again at the Olympics. - Olympics.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52In which country were the first modern Olympics hosted in 1896?
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Greece.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02It is Greece, congratulations, the figure is yours.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Mark. Pick or steal?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- Steal.- Oh, what do you want?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- The vase.- The vase, from Bob and Linda.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15Bob and Linda, you can now think of a category that you would like Andy
0:18:15 > 0:18:17to try to answer.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Plant Life.- Plant Life.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24What substance in leaves allows plants to absorb light energy?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Chlorophilm.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33I'm sorry, you said chlorophilm and it's actually chlorophyll.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- OK.- The vase stays with Bob and Linda.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Well played. Very good.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Linda, would you want to pick or steal?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- I'd like to steal the watch, please. - Steal the watch.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Chloe and Phyllis, what category would you like to give Bob?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Action Films, please.- Action Films.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54What is the first name of Rambo,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57the character portrayed on screen by Sylvester Stallone?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Oh, dear.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Paul.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Incorrect. It's not Paul, although it is one of the Apostles,
0:19:08 > 0:19:09it's John.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12John Rambo.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15So, the watch stays with you, Chloe, for this, well done.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Phyllis, would you like to pick or steal?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- I'll steal.- Steal. What do you want to steal?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- The vase, please.- The vase.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Bob and Linda, what are you going to give Chloe?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Olympics.- Olympics.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Athlete Usain Bolt competes for which country?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- Jamaica.- Correct.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Jamaica it is, the vase is yours.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Oh, Bob and Linda.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42There we go. Mark, pick or steal?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Steal.- Steal what?
0:19:44 > 0:19:45- The vase.- The vase.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51OK. Chloe and Phyllis, you choose a category now for Andy.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Composers.- Thank you.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Andy.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Which poem by William Blake was famously set to music
0:19:59 > 0:20:02by the composer Sir Charles Parry?
0:20:04 > 0:20:05I have to pass, Fern, sorry.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07It was Jerusalem.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- Oh.- I know, annoying, isn't it?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Well, the vase stays with you, Chloe and Phyllis.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Linda, pick or steal?
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- Steal, please.- Of course.- The vase. - Will it be the vase? Yes.- Yes.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20OK, Chloe and Phyllis,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23pick a subject for Bob.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I think Action Films again. Sorry, Bob.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28You've found his weak spot.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31OK. In the 2000 film Charlie's Angels,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34the Angels are played by Cameron Diaz,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Drew Barrymore and which other actress?
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- Lucy Liu.- Get in!
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Yes. Lucy Liu it is, correct!
0:20:45 > 0:20:47The vase comes back to you.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Sorry about that, Chloe and Phyllis.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51That is the end of the round,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54so let's see how the collections are looking.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Chloe and Phyllis have the table,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59the figure, the chest of drawers,
0:20:59 > 0:21:03the cups, the watch and the cellars.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Andy and Mark have the screen.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Bob and Linda have the book
0:21:08 > 0:21:09and the vase.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13OK, for one team, this is now, sadly, the end of the road.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16So, Paul, who is leaving us first?
0:21:16 > 0:21:21Well, Fern, I can reveal that the pair leaving us first are...
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- ..Andy and Mark.- Ohh.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32APPLAUSE
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Andy and Mark, I'm so sorry.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39But you want to know what that screen's worth, don't you?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Yes, please.- Yes, you do. So, tell us about it.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Well, this screen had most of you perplexed during the viewing.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51You all noticed a little keyhole top front,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53the key allows the front to fall forward,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55giving one a writing surface.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59So, in essence, it's a metamorphic piece of furniture. Surely,
0:21:59 > 0:22:03that is hugely valuable and you've all made a mistake.
0:22:03 > 0:22:09Well, no. It's redundant in today's home, it's only worth £60.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Oh.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Andy and Mark, thank you so much for playing For What It's Worth!
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22And, also, the unclaimed items in the grid are now leaving the game,
0:22:22 > 0:22:26so let's quickly find out from Paul what they're worth
0:22:26 > 0:22:29and if the top lot is still in the game.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32These are a pair of brass candlesticks.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37We do know they date back to around 1870 and are possibly Russian
0:22:37 > 0:22:38in origin.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40They're highly decorative,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43each model has a bear holding aloft a socket
0:22:43 > 0:22:44in which the candle would sit.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46And I've got to say, Chloe,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48I think you were extremely dismissive of them.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50PAUL LAUGHS
0:22:50 > 0:22:53And none of you liked the red eyes, which arguably are a wee bit scary
0:22:53 > 0:22:58and a bit wrong, but they are consummately well modelled
0:22:58 > 0:22:59and well worked.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03And there's the potential for Russian interest, but the value -
0:23:03 > 0:23:05just £120.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Not bad, though, for a pair of brass candlesticks.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Next, you said bye to the paperweight.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16It's a large Baccarat example from the mid-19th century.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Now, Baccarat is a celebrated French glass-making company,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22and by the early 19th century, it had become
0:23:22 > 0:23:25one of Europe's leading names in glassware.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29The value in this example -
0:23:29 > 0:23:30£200.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Healthy for a paperweight.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37Lastly, you were saying goodbye to our decanter labels.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42Here we have three Georgian silver examples labelled for rum,
0:23:42 > 0:23:43wine and port.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46At first, they might look rather uninspiring.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50I think many of you thought so. But if you looked closely,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53you would have discovered a tiny hallmark on the back
0:23:53 > 0:23:58bearing the initials EL. Now, EL is the smith Edward Livingstone.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Livingstone's a rather sought-after Scottish craftsman.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Value? Three humble little bottle tickets
0:24:05 > 0:24:08that I don't think anybody was particularly taken by,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11they're worth £600.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15The good news is we're saying bye to those,
0:24:15 > 0:24:19but the highest value lot is still in play,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22but so is the least valuable.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Oh.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Teams, congratulations on getting this far.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30You now have one last chance to pick our expert's brains.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Which lot do you really need to know more about?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Team One, Phyllis, what would you like to know about?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38The table, please.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Now, the table. This delightful little example
0:24:41 > 0:24:45is known as a tripod table by virtue of its three legs.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50It dates back to the 19th century and is of Anglo-Indian origin.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Indian cabinet makers used local timbers and accessories
0:24:53 > 0:24:56to craft these beautiful pieces.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Furniture of this type was intended
0:24:58 > 0:25:01for the colonial British market and the wealthy locals.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05It's made of padauk, which is considered to be a less
0:25:05 > 0:25:08decorative figure than, say, rosewood.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13This style of furniture also may not be to everyone's taste.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15So, this could affect the commercial value.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18But what's its value to you?
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Hmm.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Bob and Linda, what would you like to know more about?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- The vase.- The vase.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30This is a Chinese porcelain vase,
0:25:30 > 0:25:34mounted with silver and dating to the late 17th century.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38It was made during the era of the Emperor Kangxi,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41who was the fourth emperor of the Qing dynasty.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44The style was so popular that it was later mass-produced and widely
0:25:44 > 0:25:48copied, especially during the 20th century,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50but this piece is period.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52There's no hallmarks on the silver,
0:25:52 > 0:25:56but it is solid with interesting geometric decoration.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01Would that make it more desirable, more unusual, more expensive?
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Well, that's for you to decide.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07It's now time for our final round.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10And at the end of it, we'll have our winners.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17In this round, I'm going to show you a category and 12 possible answers.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Now, nine of the answers are correct, three are not.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Each of you will then take turns to choose an answer
0:26:23 > 0:26:26you think is correct. And as it's the final round,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28both quizzers and pickers will play.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Pick a wrong answer and your opponents will be able to steal
0:26:30 > 0:26:32a lot from your collection.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35We're going to play three questions in total, and the pair
0:26:35 > 0:26:38with the most valuable collection at the moment can choose to go first or
0:26:38 > 0:26:41second. Paul, who is that?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44I can reveal that the team who has
0:26:44 > 0:26:47the most valuable collection so far is...
0:26:49 > 0:26:51..Phyllis and Chloe.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Phyllis and Chloe.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58You go first with this question, and it is this.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Celebrities Who Have Appeared In Absolutely Fabulous.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Would you like to go first or second on this question?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Let's go second. Second, please.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Second, OK.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Bob and Linda, here are the answers.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15Bob, give me an answer.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- Joanna Lumley.- Joanna Lumley.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22If this goes green, it's correct.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23Of course it's correct.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Joanna Lumley plays Patsy Stone.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Chloe.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- June Whitfield.- June Whitfield.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Yes, she's Edina's mother.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Linda.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Ruby Wax.- Ruby Wax.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Yes, she plays two characters - Beth De Woodi and Candy.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- Phyllis.- Oh. - LAUGHTER
0:27:49 > 0:27:51My goodness.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Miranda Richardson. - Miranda Richardson.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Yes, her character was Bettina. Well done.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00Bob.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- Oh, dear. David Tennant. - David Tennant.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Oh. David Tennant is incorrect.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Let's have a look at the other wrong answers.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Ian McKellen was never in it and neither was Jack Dee.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Chloe and Phyllis, prepare to steal from Bob and Linda.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Do you want the book or the vase?
0:28:27 > 0:28:29- You pick.- The vase, please.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31The vase is yours.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Bob and Linda, that hurt, didn't it?
0:28:35 > 0:28:38OK. This is your question, Bob and Linda.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41We're looking for countries located in the Pacific region
0:28:41 > 0:28:44known as Oceania, which is centred on Australia.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- Would you like to go first or second?- We'll go first.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49First? Here are the answers.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52Give me an answer.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- New Zealand.- New Zealand.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03Yes. North and South Islands, exactly right. Chloe.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- Solomon Islands.- Solomon Islands.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Correct. A nation of literally hundreds of islands
0:29:11 > 0:29:14in the South Pacific. Linda.

0:29:19 > 0:29:24Correct. The Polynesian kingdom of more than 170 islands.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25Phyllis.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- Fiji.- Fiji.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Yes. More than 300 islands, apparently.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Amazing. Bob.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- Samoa.- Samoa.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Correct. There are six islands to Samoa.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Chloe.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- Marshall Islands.- Marshall Islands.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00Yes, that's a chain of volcanic islands. Linda.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- Vanuatu.- Vanuatu.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Correct. About 80 islands there.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Phyllis.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Only two are now correct and three are wrong.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- Serrano.- Serrano.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Oh, bad luck.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Serrano is actually a ham or a chilli pepper.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Let's see the other wrong answers.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35Chopine is a 16th-century platform shoe.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Moana is the Hawaiian word for ocean.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Right, Bob and Linda.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45If you make a strategic pick here, who knows what could happen?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- Go for the mugs, go for the mugs. - I'm not going to go for the mugs.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50The mugs might be the most expensive.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52No. The watch.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54The watch, please.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Overruling Bob.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Bob wanted the cups, you want the watch, and the watch it is.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01It's coming over to you right now.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04There we go.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08OK, Chloe and Phyllis, final question. And your question is...
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Comic Book Characters.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16To be clear, we're not looking for characters who may have appeared in
0:31:16 > 0:31:20comics after originally appearing in another work of fiction.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Chloe and Phyllis, would you like to go first or second?
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- First.- First. Let's have a look at the answers.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Chloe, give me an answer.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32- Iron Man.- Iron Man.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Yes, first appeared in 1963.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40Bob.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42- Superman.- Superman.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50Yes. The famous DC Comic superhero. Phyllis.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- The Joker.- The Joker.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Yes, the enemy of Batman. Linda.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- Captain America.- Captain America.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Correct. He first appeared in 1941 in a comic.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10Chloe.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- Green Lantern.- Green Lantern.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Correct. 1940 he first appeared.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Bob.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21That was the only one I knew.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- Dr Strange.- Dr Strange.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32Yes. Being played by Benedict Cumberbatch
0:32:32 > 0:32:33in an upcoming film.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Phyllis.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- Seymour Cray.- Seymour Cray.
0:32:45 > 0:32:50- Oh.- Oh, no.- Apparently he's the father of supercomputing,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52so he really should be in a comic book, but he's real.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Let's have a look at the other wrong answers.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Hodor is from Game Of Thrones,
0:32:58 > 0:33:01and Katniss Everdeen is from The Hunger Games.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05So, Bob and Linda, what are you going to have?
0:33:05 > 0:33:10- Cups.- Well, not the vase? - No, no, no, we've had the vase.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12My choice this time - we're going for cups.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Cups.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18And there they are in your collection.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22That's it, your collections are complete and fixed
0:33:22 > 0:33:25and will determine which team is victorious, so, Paul,
0:33:25 > 0:33:26who are today's winners?
0:33:26 > 0:33:31Fern, I can reveal that the pair with the most valuable collection
0:33:31 > 0:33:34and the winners today are...
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- ..Phyllis and Chloe. - APPLAUSE
0:33:43 > 0:33:44I told you about those cups.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Commiserations, Bob and Linda.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51You didn't create a valuable enough collection,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53but before we say goodbye,
0:33:53 > 0:33:57shall we find out how much your items were worth?
0:33:57 > 0:33:58We start with the book.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02A true great from the world of literature -
0:34:02 > 0:34:07this is a British first edition, not a US first edition.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11American author - you want the true first edition, which of course,
0:34:11 > 0:34:12published in America.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Its value - £100.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Now, from here, we go to the watch.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21And you seriously contested that watch.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Throughout the programme, "We want the watch, we want the watch."
0:34:24 > 0:34:26You ended up with it.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Was it worth the trouble?
0:34:28 > 0:34:33This is a Swiss open-face quarter repeater gold pocket watch,
0:34:33 > 0:34:35made around 1850.
0:34:35 > 0:34:40Now, watchmaking is an art form, and the inner workings of a watch
0:34:40 > 0:34:42are the pride of its maker.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46And when I say, "They don't make them like that any more,"
0:34:46 > 0:34:49in this instance, I really mean it.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Because, today, watches are made with simulated,
0:34:52 > 0:34:56artificially-grown rubies whereas in this watch,
0:34:56 > 0:35:01the cylinder is a natural ruby, hand-worked.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05The value of this watch - £1,500.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08That's a good watch.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13Oh, but, Paul, these cups must be worth a fortune, surely(!)
0:35:13 > 0:35:16They had better...for Bob's sake.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21Here we have a pair of ceramic cups, and they'd likely date
0:35:21 > 0:35:22to the interwar years.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25This playful, arguably, circus theme
0:35:25 > 0:35:28could appeal to those who collect children's items.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32There's a crack to one and some chips to the rims of both.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36Well, Linda, does the name Clarice Cliff mean anything to you?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Well, these are nothing to do with Clarice Cliff.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42LAUGHTER
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Value - they're worthless.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Oh.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Bob and Linda, you have been such a joy
0:35:50 > 0:35:53and entertained us a lot this afternoon.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Thank you so much for playing For What It's Worth.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Well done, Chloe and Phyllis.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05You are today's winners. And now all that remains
0:36:05 > 0:36:07is for you to claim your prize.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10All you have to do is pick one of the lots in your collection
0:36:10 > 0:36:13and we will give you its value in cash.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16And the top lot is still in the game.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19So, which one do you want to choose?
0:36:19 > 0:36:21If you think about it logically,
0:36:21 > 0:36:24we haven't heard anything about the figure,
0:36:24 > 0:36:25but we've said that's Lalique.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28It's a Lalique. So that's a name, isn't it?
0:36:29 > 0:36:33Oh, the table was good as well. I don't know, Nanna, come on,
0:36:33 > 0:36:34you're the picker.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- Shall we go for the Lalique? - Shall we go with the name?
0:36:37 > 0:36:41Yeah. We'll go with the figure.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44The figure, which you say is Lalique.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47OK, that's it, that's what you've chosen.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49But what haven't you won?
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Oh, here we go.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56Well, first, you walked away from the pair of salts.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59These are a pair of salt cellars produced in the 1950s
0:36:59 > 0:37:01by Adie Brothers Ltd of Birmingham.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05Sterling silver and are in excellent condition.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08If you're a frequenter of car-boot sales,
0:37:08 > 0:37:11you're likely to have seen lots of these probably costing, say,
0:37:11 > 0:37:13£20 or £30.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16But the right pair, in the right condition,
0:37:16 > 0:37:22from the right maker can easily command four-figure sums.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24So, what were they worth?
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Well, £80 would have bought them at auction.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30- So, no great loss there.- Phew!
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Phew indeed.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35After that, you added to your collection
0:37:35 > 0:37:37the chest of drawers,
0:37:37 > 0:37:40which you were pretty scathing of initially.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43You didn't like the back of that chest of drawers for a second,
0:37:43 > 0:37:44Chloe, did you?
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Value - £300.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Healthy.
0:37:48 > 0:37:53Now, here is the Chinese vase which went backwards and forwards.
0:37:53 > 0:37:59I think it cries out potential, does it not?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01How much potential?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03About £800 worth.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- Whoa.- Not bad.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Now, it came down to just two items -
0:38:08 > 0:38:10the table and the figure.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14The table, it was the first thing you homed in on as,
0:38:14 > 0:38:16"That's the one."
0:38:16 > 0:38:18The condition's there, you loved it.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22But then at the 11th hour, you went with the figure.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Maybe should have gone with the instinct.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28£2,500.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- Goodness.- I'm sorry.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35So, Phyllis and Chloe, you have won the value of this figure.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Well, before we tell you,
0:38:37 > 0:38:40I wonder if we could tempt you with our Mystery Lot.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Come and join me. APPLAUSE
0:38:45 > 0:38:51Come in. Chloe and Phyllis, there is the figure.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54You may be confident that you have chosen something that's worth its
0:38:54 > 0:38:57weight in gold, but before we tell you its value,
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Paul is going to tempt you with today's Mystery Lot.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Yeah.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Behold.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Today's Mystery Lot is...
0:39:08 > 0:39:11a silver cigarette case.
0:39:11 > 0:39:17Now, this little unassuming object looks like it's been well used,
0:39:17 > 0:39:23but what really makes this item special is the engraved inscription.
0:39:23 > 0:39:30You might just be able to make out - W Marks, from the Empress Marie,
0:39:30 > 0:39:37the Grand Duke Nicholas and the imperial Russian family onboard HMS
0:39:37 > 0:39:41Marlborough, April 1919.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45Now, this was the ship sent to collect the Dowager Empress Marie
0:39:45 > 0:39:48by her nephew, King George V,
0:39:48 > 0:39:52to bring the surviving imperial family back
0:39:52 > 0:39:56to England from the Crimea after the Russian Revolution.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01W Marks was a sailor on board the ship.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04And the case was given to him as a gift
0:40:04 > 0:40:07from the imperial Russian royal family.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11A quality item with a unique provenance.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13But what's it worth?
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Wow.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17It's a good temptation, isn't it?
0:40:17 > 0:40:21It is a good temptation. What do you think, Nanna?
0:40:21 > 0:40:22I don't want to get it wrong again.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27Go with the Russian family, I'm tempted.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31We heard earlier that Russian things are sought-after, didn't we?
0:40:31 > 0:40:32Exactly, we did.
0:40:34 > 0:40:40I've got a feeling it could be worth more than this.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42I'm thinking we go with what Nanna says.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45I think we should go with the Russian connection.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Let's just hope.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52- OK.- Right now, final decision, the silver cigarette case -
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- today's Mystery Lot?- Yes.- Yes.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Now we need to know, what have they thrown away here, Paul?
0:40:58 > 0:41:03A gorgeous piece of dark green topaz glass.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05And if you look at this boar,
0:41:05 > 0:41:09as you have done, and turned it upside down, you of course
0:41:09 > 0:41:12see that it's stamped with the name Lalique.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Now, Lalique's one of the names in glassware,
0:41:15 > 0:41:18a symbol of French style and luxury.
0:41:18 > 0:41:23But it's not just an ornament, this is a car mascot,
0:41:23 > 0:41:27designed to sit at the front of your car.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29The prices for Lalique can range from,
0:41:29 > 0:41:35let's say, the affordable to hundreds of thousands of pounds.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39You've just walked away from £400.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40Oh.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Right, OK. You've thrown away £400.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- OK.- Paul, tell us how much this silver cigarette case is.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53You can buy a circa 1919 silver cigarette case
0:41:53 > 0:41:56in pristine condition at auction for £40,
0:41:56 > 0:42:02and this one is very, very heavily worn indeed.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06We didn't look at the hinge, which was badly distorted.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10I mean, there's used and then there's wrecked.
0:42:10 > 0:42:11That said,
0:42:11 > 0:42:19how do we put a price on a unique object with this utterly fascinating
0:42:19 > 0:42:21historical provenance?
0:42:25 > 0:42:26Well, we put this value on it...
0:42:28 > 0:42:30..£1,650.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32- Yay!- Yay!
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Oh.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- That's great.- It's fantastic.
0:42:45 > 0:42:51Chloe and Phyllis, today you are going home with £1,650.
0:42:51 > 0:42:56Paul, thank you so much, it's been lovely to have you here.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Thank you for all your expertise.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Well, we'll see you next time when more teams
0:43:00 > 0:43:02will be trying to spot the lot to win the lot on
0:43:02 > 0:43:04For What It's Worth.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05Goodbye for now.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09That was amazing. I'm so thrilled for you.
