0:00:02 > 0:00:05Bargain Hunt is back at the races, and today
0:00:05 > 0:00:08we're at an antiques fair in Southwell Racecourse
0:00:08 > 0:00:09in Nottinghamshire.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10So cue in the puns.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15The going is looking good and we're odds on for a cracking show.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20So place your bets on the Reds or the Blues,
0:00:20 > 0:00:22and let's go bargain-hunting!
0:00:47 > 0:00:52There are up to 200 stalls here at Southwell Racecourse and our
0:00:52 > 0:00:54teams have £300 each,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57with just one hour to buy three items which
0:00:57 > 0:01:00will hopefully make a profit at auction.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Let's look at the race ahead.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08- On today's show, one of our Reds is kept on a tight leash.- Off you go.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Off you go.- Oh, poor Steve.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15One of the Blues is kept firmly in their place.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- I do like it.- What about you, Stef? - No, come on, let's move on.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21We've been told. Carry on looking.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24By the auction, the Reds are feeling cautious.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- How do you feel?- A bit scared. - Nervous.- But excited.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30And the Blues are having a good old giggle.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33THEY LAUGH
0:01:33 > 0:01:37That's all for later. But now let's meet today's teams.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41For the Reds, we have engaged couple Steve and Jane.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45And for the Blues we have married couple Chris and Stef.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- Hello, everyone! ALL:- Hello!
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Now, Jane, how did you and Steve get together?
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Well, I was asked along to an engagement party and
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- a friend of mine set me up with three men.- Three guys?- Three guys.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- At the one time?- At the one time. They all stood virtually in a row.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05SHE LAUGHS
0:02:05 > 0:02:07So I said, "OK, well, the first one
0:02:07 > 0:02:09"that gets his message on my answerphone,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11"I'll go for a drink with."
0:02:11 > 0:02:12And that was Steve.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- He was the lucky one. - THEY LAUGH
0:02:15 > 0:02:21- Now, Jane, you guys have been engaged for 19 years.- I know.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- When are you going to tie the knot?- This year, this year.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Now, Steve, you're both retired now,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29but you were in the RAF for 40 years.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Yeah, yeah, I served on a Nimrod aircraft as a sensor operator,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36working equipment down the back of the aircraft, and the
0:02:36 > 0:02:39aircraft was involved in quite a lot of the conflicts over the years.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Things like the Falklands War and Bosnia,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45the two Gulf Wars and finally, Afghanistan.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- What do you know about antiques and collectables?- Not a huge amount.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- Not a lot at all. Not a lot at all, if I'm honest.- I know what I like.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- You know what you like.- I know what I like.- So what about tactics?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58You've got to have a tactic.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I want to find something a bit quirky,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04preferably from a stallholder that's got a lot of sympathy for us.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Oh, right.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Who's going to be doing the dealing?- I think it'll be Steve.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14But you've got a lovely smile. You could get in there as well.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I'll try. I'll try. I'll go in and see if they'll give me a deal.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21So that's it for the Red teams, and up against you today are the
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Blues, Chris and Stef.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Now, you guys have been married for 44 years.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Was it love at first sight?
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- No.- Tell me how you met.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39We actually met on a pontoon bridge. I saw him. And you saw me.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42"Oh, he's quite nice, he's quite nice." But we didn't really meet...
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- No, not for a long time.- ..until about a month afterwards, I think.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- We met at a disco and that was it. - Fell in love.- We must have done.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51We must have done.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53And we got married two years afterwards, didn't we?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- And lived happily ever after? - Well...
0:03:55 > 0:03:57THEY LAUGH
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Now, Chris, you're a retired GP receptionist.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Does that mean that you were a tough cookie?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Yes, I was a tough cookie. But I was fair. I was kind and I was fair.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Now, Stef, you're retired as well,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14but you were in the shoe industry. I love shoes.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- I used to make ladies' shoes. - Did you?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I did, yes, I made ladies' shoes for 44 years. I loved the atmosphere.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21I loved the people.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Are you enjoying retirement as much as Chris?- I am.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Plus the fact we get to know each other now cos we worked
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- different shifts. - After all these years.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Yeah, we did, we worked a lot of shifts and we were like
0:04:32 > 0:04:34passing ships in the night, really, weren't we?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37She'd go to work. I'd stay home. I'd go to work when she came home.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- We never seen each other.- It's getting to know each other again.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- And what about tactics? - We're going to spend! Spend!
0:04:44 > 0:04:46THEY LAUGH
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- They're the opposite of you.- Yes.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Well, I suppose if you're going to spend a lot,
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- I'd better hand over some money to you.- Please.- £300.- Oh, thanks.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- £300 here.- Lovely.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03Your experts await, so off you go and good luck.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Loving couples. Wonderful!
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Today, there are two sets of teams searching for bargains.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Hoping to be in tune with the Reds, it's Raj Bisram.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17And who's behind the mask for the Blues?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Oh! It's Mark Stacey.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Tell me, what are we looking for today?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Something silvery and sparkly.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- I've actually got a list. - Oh, no, not a list. Have you?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- Do you agree with this list? - Yes, of course.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I fancied something quite unusual,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34maybe some aircraft memorabilia from my time in the Air Force?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37We've got 1960s, we quite like 1960s.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Fountain pens.- Good Lord. - We quite like those as well.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Action, teams! Your time starts now!
0:05:42 > 0:05:45BELL RINGS
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Let's go and see what we can find.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- You know you've only got £300, don't you?- We do.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- We'll spend it all. - We'll spend it all.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Off you go then, teams,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56and it looks like the Reds and Blues are starting outside.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59That's quite pretty. Silvery and sparkly.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01It is, Jane, it's a claret jug.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06But it's actually a reproduction one and I can tell why from the glass.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I spotted these. These are quite...odd.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Yeah, they're stirrups, aren't they?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- They're stirrups.- Horse stirrups.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- I don't think there's enough oomph in that.- Not enough oomph.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20They might be good buys, Reds. We are at a racecourse.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Blues, are these stacking up?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Do you like boxes, Stef? - I do, yeah.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Because there is a lot over there, isn't there?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Yes, there are. - That's obviously a tea caddy.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Nice sarcophagus shape. - And that one might be as well.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33That's probably a tea caddy.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35I mean, these are proper antiques, you know,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- but they are completely out of fashion these days.- OK, that's fine.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39So it depends on the price.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Would you like to go and ask how much those two are?- We will.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44If she wants something, does she bargain down?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47We've had us bartering when we went on holiday a few years ago.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Did you? Well, let's see how she finds it here.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Let's see how much these are, shall we?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I like to show you this box if that's OK.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57OK, can we have a look at this? Can you give us some details for it?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01That one will be £100. We're talking about 185 on that one.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I think we probably need to have a think about them. What do you think?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- OK, that's fine. Yes, we'll have a think. Thank you.- Thank you so much.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10We might be back. Thank you. Thank you very much.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13So the boxes aren't ticking a box for the Blues,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15so what do the Reds have their eyes on?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- What about this?- They're lovely.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- They're lovely.- These are mother of pearl opera glasses.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Do people collect them? - They do collect them.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Opera glasses are collectable.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- The box itself is brand-new.- Yeah. - But the glasses are lovely.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Do you like them?- Yes, I think they look very nice, yeah.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- They look in very good condition. - You spotted them. Well done.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- I saw a sparkle.- Yeah, I like those.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Well, let's see what the dealer will do.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Well, they're priced up at £38, Raj.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Try to negotiate the price with our shy stallholder.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Can I ask you what could be the very best on these?
0:07:48 > 0:07:5034.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Get down to 30?- I can do 30.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- You can do it for 30? - What do you think, Raj?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I think that's not a bad price.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- They come with a little box as well so...- Yeah, OK.- Happy?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- I think we've got a deal.- OK, well, let's shake the man's hand.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- Thanks very much indeed. - Thank you.- First deal.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Well done, Reds. £8 off the asking price and
0:08:09 > 0:08:12that's your first buy in just under ten minutes.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Now what are the Blues about to serve up?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15What about this sort of thing, Mark?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Well, you liked that on the way in, didn't you?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- I did quite like that, actually. - Well, why do you like it?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I don't know. It's just so different.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- The design is so different. - And do you like it, Stef?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I like it. It reminds me of Arts and Crafts.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Actually, when you look at it, the design is very bold, isn't it?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Yes, it is.- You've got all this hand work here, these scrolls...
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Is that what it would be, Mark? Would they be hand?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Oh, yeah, this is all done by hand, and if we turn it over,
0:08:40 > 0:08:45this is all hand-done, you see. And there is a little thing there.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- Can you see? SF 1978. - Oh, is that how old it is?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51So it's actually probably 1978.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- Oh, my goodness.- But it's a unique piece, isn't it?- It is.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- I've never seen anything like it. - No.- It's got £55 on it.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Now, it's a difficult thing to value
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- because nobody's ever seen anything like it.- No.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06If I was being a sort of cheeky auctioneer, I would probably
0:09:06 > 0:09:08say sort of £30 to £50 or something like that.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11What do you think? Shall I go and have a word with the dealers?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Yes, I think it's worth a try.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15You're always cheeky, Mark.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18But just how cheeky were you?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Well, I tried to get it for £30,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23but the dealer was quite generous and said we could have it for 35.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- People like quirky, unusual items, these days.- It is, it is.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29It would photograph well online. So is it our first item?
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Yes, I think so.- I think so. - Amazing! Well done!- Not on the list.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Not on the list.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36THEY LAUGH
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- It's 1970s. You said 1960s.- I did. - So we're close.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- We did, we did, lovely.- Well, let's hope it's copper-bottomed.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45THEY LAUGH
0:09:45 > 0:09:47It might not have been on your shopping list, Blues,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50but nevertheless, that's your first item
0:09:50 > 0:09:53with nearly 15 minutes on the clock.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Now's not the time to be held back, Reds.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- We found the perfect thing for you, Steve.- There we go.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- That's you caught.- Wow, I mean, this is different. A ball and chain.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- It's very different. - Where did that come from?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08These were literally from the days of, you know,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- prisoners and prisoners of war. - Who is going to buy this?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14There are people who are into dungeons,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16you know, things like that.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- I'm just saying.- OK. - I'm just saying.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Let's just put it down.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25I think Raj is encouraging you to move on, Reds.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Shall we go inside now? Yep? Let's go. Let's go inside.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Sounds like a plan, and it looks like the Blues have the same idea.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- Oh, it is a bit warmer in here, isn't it?- Oh, that's better.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Yes, it is.- That's it! Get in the warm, Blues.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41And are the Reds about to lift the lid on their next item?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Now that, that is a nice piece. - Yeah, I like this as well.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- What is it?- It's a cheese dish.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50It's for a, you know, a nice big, well, I guess, Stilton.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53What have you got on it? Cos there's no price on it.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56It's got 180 on it.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- For you guys, 100.- 100?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02It's definitely something we should think about.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- It's a real big tabletop.- Could you hang onto it for five minutes?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Of course.- Just whilst we... - Ask for ten.- Ten minutes.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- Ten minutes would be OK? - No, not a problem.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Great, lovely. Thanks very much. See you in a bit.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18£80 is a big discount, Reds. Is it wise to leave it?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Now, any idea what the Blues have spotted?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Now, this is quite interesting. What do you think it is?
0:11:24 > 0:11:25I thought it was a money box.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Yeah, well, it does look like that, doesn't it?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29But I think it's for voting.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Have you ever heard of being blackballed?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- No.- You've never heard that expression?- No.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Well, when you join certain clubs,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- the members have to vote whether they want you to join.- Right.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43And they have a different token or ball to say whether it's
0:11:43 > 0:11:44a yes or a no.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47And then, of course, whoever does the counting will know
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- how many people voted yes or no, but they won't know who voted.- No.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53So it's actually quite a fun little thing, isn't it?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I think this is probably sort of late Victorian.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Oh, right.- 1880, 1890. Something like that.- Oh, OK.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- You like it, don't you?- I do like it.- What about you, Stef?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- No, come on, let's move on.- Oh. - You don't like it, then?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- We'll carry on looking.- I think it's quite unusual.- You've been told.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- Carry on looking.- Stef has spoken and the box isn't getting his vote.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14You'd best move on, Blues.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I heard a wee rumour that Steve's a keen photographer.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22At £10, this should be right up his street.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24That's a Canon.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Yes, it's a little Canon box camera.- It's not a Canon, is it?
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- No, it's a Coronet. - It's a Coronet.- Yeah, Coronet.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32These were very, very common. OK?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Not necessarily Canon ones,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36but the box Brownies that you see everywhere...
0:12:36 > 0:12:37I like the box Brownies.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Yeah, these were one of the first cameras and there were thousands of
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- them made so, to me, it just hasn't got the rarity value.- OK.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Jane, what do you think about that? - I like it.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Yeah, I like it as well. - So you both like it?
0:12:50 > 0:12:51We both like it and it looks in...
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- the bellows are in good condition. - It's different.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Students like a lot of those to put on shelves
0:12:56 > 0:12:57- next to their books and that.- OK.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- It is what it is for the bargain price of a tenner.- Up to you.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04You like it. You got me...you got me to come round and have a look at it.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- You like it.- I like photography.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I like taking pictures of the birds and that, so...
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Would it be crazy of me... - Does it shut?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13..to say would you take a little bit less?
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- £9.- £9?- £9 would be great.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- That's very good of you. - Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25Item number two snapped up for the Reds in just under 30 minutes.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30The Blues haven't bought a thing off their shopping list,
0:13:30 > 0:13:33but are they about to pour some of their budget on this?
0:13:33 > 0:13:39- That's a big jug, isn't it?- It is. - It's huge. I think it's Italian.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- And majolica.- What age do you think it would be, Mark?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46The difficulty with dating these is that the original style of
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- this would have been 14th, 15th, 16th century.- Right.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52But this is probably much later.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56I think, actually, it's probably 1890, 1900. I like that.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Can you imagine that, if you had a big country dresser or table?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Or even a loft apartment, these loft apartments,
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- you can get these big vases. - Well, in those loft apartments,
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- it could be a shower room. - It could, couldn't it?
0:14:09 > 0:14:14- Can you do a good price on that, or not?- I can come down to 80 on it.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Oh, £80. We want it for a bit less than that, don't we?- A little bit.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I was thinking more of 70. Can you possibly do it for 70?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- 79, how's that?- Oh!
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- THEY LAUGH - That shocked me!
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- Let's go 76.- Go on, then. - 76?- Yes.- Are you sure?- Yes.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37- Well, I think it's magnificent. - I do.- I do. 76.- You two are on fire.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- That's our second item in half an hour.- Good, I'm so glad!
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Let's have a saunter.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I wouldn't rest on your laurels too much, Blues,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47those final 30 minutes whizz by.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Reds, is there a plan?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54We've still got the ball and chain on hold,
0:14:54 > 0:14:58and we've got the majolica Stilton dish on hold as well. So...
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Which one's the best?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I think that the ball and chain is very different and...
0:15:02 > 0:15:04It's very individual.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06..it's quite humorous these days and I think that somebody
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- else will love it the same as you. - Shall we go?- Shall we do that?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11OK, let's go and do that, then.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Go and hold down the ball and chain then, Reds.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17And I think Mark has got his eye on the time for the Blues.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- I like this.- What is it, exactly?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Well, what do you think when you look at that?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26It's some sort of timepiece, isn't it?
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Well, there's something missing from it, isn't there?- Yes.- The case.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- It's a longcase clock.- Oh, yes, of course it is. It's the face.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36It's from a longcase clock. You've got Thomas Wynne here, London.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- Yes.- So it's a London maker.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Oh, 265. Ah. I didn't see that bit.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I would love to buy that, but we can't.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46No, we can't afford that.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49No, sorry about that. And do you know what I say?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Time is ticking, so we'd better get on.- We'd better get a move on.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Quickly, right.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55It certainly is, Blues.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Just 15 minutes left and it looks like the Reds are talking
0:15:58 > 0:16:01tactics to secure the ball and chain.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Now, before we go in for the kill, we've already seen the price,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06it's £25 for the ball and chain.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- 18.- 18?- Let's start at 18. - You think at 18.- 15.- 15.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- Work our way up.- Let's see how it goes.- OK, OK.- Hi, there.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- We've come back to ask a few more questions.- Yeah, OK.- OK.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Shall I start off with what is the best price you can do it for?
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- It's always the best question. Um, I can do it for 20.- 20.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Go down slightly lower?- I think so.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I'm a condemned man in November.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33I've got a wedding to pay for.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- 15?- 15?- Too late for this.
0:16:36 > 0:16:3915, if one of you goes off wearing it.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44- OK.- That sounds lovely. No problem at all.- Come here, you.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- There.- No getting away, Steve.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- No getting away. I'll try! - Off you go.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51THEY LAUGH
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Poor Steve.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Job done, Reds.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58So, Blues, it's down to you.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Ten minutes left.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I'm thinking off the wall. I've just seen this.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- What do you think of it?- I quite like that.- It's good fun, isn't it?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- It is. I did spot it on the way through.- Did you?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- And you never said anything. - I didn't.- No.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Because I thought, "No, no, no," but I do quite like that.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I know why you didn't say anything because it's not old
0:17:15 > 0:17:17and we're supposed to be buying antiques.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19But not necessarily, because the auction world these days is
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- about decorative items.- It is. - I love his eyes and his face.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- He's quirky.- Can I have a look at him?- Have a look.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28You have a look, I'll find out the price. You have a look, too.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- Yeah, I will.- Oh, my goodness me.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- How much?- The dealer actually said 35.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35There's a bit of wriggle room,
0:17:35 > 0:17:36but we need to get to the BEAR essentials.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38BOTH GROAN
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Go and have a word.- Yeah, yeah, all right, then.- Did you get it?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- BEAR essentials? - Yes, the BEAR essentials.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47It is the bear necessities now, isn't it?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Madame, the BEAR necessities.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Well, the BEAR necessities is 28.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- You can't do 25?- No. 27.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Oh, she's being very nice.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- She's got a nice face.- Shall we? - Yes.- Are you happy with that?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- We'll go for it.- Yes, I'm happy.- And we have got very little time left.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07We have.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Thank goodness. I can't BEAR any more puns.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15We've done it! Three items, with 50 seconds to spare!
0:18:16 > 0:18:18That's it, teams, time's up!
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Gosh, I need a cup of tea. - I think we do.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I think we do. OK.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26With shopping time over, it's now time to find out whether
0:18:26 > 0:18:30the auction can string some profits together for today's teams.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35We're off to Golding, Young & Mawer auctioneers in Bourne, Lincolnshire.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39But first, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44First up, Steve and Jane focused on these opera glasses and paid £30.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49Next, will this camera keep them in the picture? Bought for £9.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53And finally, they're hoping this ball and chain
0:18:53 > 0:18:55will secure them a profit.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Bought for £15.
0:18:57 > 0:19:03Steve, Jane, you spent a wee canny £54
0:19:03 > 0:19:07and you gave Raj 246.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Raj, show us what you bought. Reveal all!
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Oh, yes, I recognise that.- Oh, yes.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- A really nice majolica Stilton dish. - Yes, we spotted that, didn't we?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- We spotted that, I recognise that. - We debated about that.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- You were thinking about it, weren't you, as we went round?- We did.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- I seem to remember the price as well, if I remember.- Yeah.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29What did you pay for it?
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- Well, I think I got this extremely reasonably. I got this for £50.- 50?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Did you?- £50, yeah.- Wow.- You did get a big slice off it, then.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Ha, very good, very good.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41So how much is it going to make?
0:19:41 > 0:19:45I would hope it would make £50 to £80.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47So, the Reds are happy with the item,
0:19:47 > 0:19:51but we will find out later if they decide to back it at auction.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Now for the Blues.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56And let's remind ourselves what they bought with their £300.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Chris and Steph dished up this copper bowl
0:19:59 > 0:20:02as their first purchase and paid £35.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Next, they're hoping profits will pour in
0:20:05 > 0:20:07with this jug,
0:20:07 > 0:20:08bought for £76.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12And finally, let's hope it doesn't all come to
0:20:12 > 0:20:17a GRIZZLY end with this bear's head statue, bought for £27.
0:20:17 > 0:20:23Chris, Steph, you left Mark £162.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- Mark, reveal all!- I will.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Ooh!- And it's on your list.- It is. - You said Chinese.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36I scoured that list for ages and I found you
0:20:36 > 0:20:40a period 18th-century Chinese export ware sauce boat,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- with initials on the front. - That's beautiful, actually.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I don't think they're your initials, sadly.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- You like it, don't you?- I do. I do cos I like anything like that.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- I love the shape.- I do. It's something I would've bought.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- They are excited about it, Mark. - Yes. That's lovely, Mark.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Yes, I do like that.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- Do you want to know how much it cost?- Yes, please.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I didn't spend all of your money. I spent £45 on that jug.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Oh, that's good. And how much do you think it would be?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I would hope it would make at least £50 or £60.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10The Blues are keen on the little sauce boat,
0:21:10 > 0:21:14but they can decide after selling their three main items.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19Colin Young, the auctioneer, is on the rostrum and raring to go.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24Well, guys, the moment of truth. But We've got a packed auction here.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- How do you feel?- A bit scared... - Nervous.- ..but excited.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Cross everything because your first item is coming up...now!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Lot number 81, a pair of
0:21:34 > 0:21:37mother-of-pearl gilt metal and brass-bound opera glasses.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38£20, anybody? 20.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42My bid's here 2. Bid 5. 5 bid. 28, 30, 35 on the internet...

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Lot number 82 is the Coronet folding box camera there.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05First one in, £10 at the back of the room. Like a flash, £10 bid.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06At 10 bid. 12 now, do I see?
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Oh, come on.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09At £10 bid. 11, now do I see?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Nobody else interested. It sells at £10.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- We made profit! - A profit, it's a pound.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15A pound is a pound.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Now the ball and chain.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19You're a wee bit worried about that?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Yes, just a little bit worried about the ball and chain.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27Lot number 83 is a prisoner's metal ball and chain at £20 bid.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Two on the net, 22, every wardrobe should have one.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32At 22, 5 anywhere else there, do I see? At £22, are we all done?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Come on, come on. A bit more.
0:22:34 > 0:22:395 anywhere else now? Then surely at 22, on the net selling at £22.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Amazing what you can buy on the internet these days.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46- 22. A profit on all three!- Yeah.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48And that is
0:22:48 > 0:22:51plus 7, which brings you
0:22:51 > 0:22:54to the grand total of 13.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Not unlucky for you.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Are you going to go with the bonus buy?
0:22:59 > 0:23:00- I say no.- No.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Cos we've made some profit and we're going to give it to charity.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06We're going to see what it makes anyway, and it's coming up
0:23:06 > 0:23:07right now.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12Lot number 87 is a majolica Stilton dish and cover. At 30 bid.
0:23:12 > 0:23:142 now, do I see? At £30 bid.
0:23:14 > 0:23:1732, 35, 38, bid 40. £40 bid, 42.

0:23:19 > 0:23:23At £50 bid. 2 now, do I see it? Going then at £50.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Ooh.- Oh.- £50.- That's good, I'm pleased.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28That was exciting.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Yeah, that was exciting. So we didn't lose money on anything.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- Now, you look ecstatic!- We are.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38But when you go out, I want you to calm down a little bit, all right?
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Because we don't want the Blues to know it could be a winning score.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Well, guys, this is the exciting moment.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00- Tell me how you are feeling? - A bit apprehensive but excited!
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Apprehensive.- Nervous excitement.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Your first item, that wonderful
0:24:03 > 0:24:10- modernist copper bowl, is just about to come up...- Right- ..now.
0:24:10 > 0:24:16Lot number 100 is a modernist copper two-tone bowl. £30, anybody?
0:24:16 > 0:24:1930 is first in, 30 is here. At 30 bid, we've started. At 30 bid.

0:24:26 > 0:24:31£30. So you're minus 5 down. What a shame on that.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Your next item is that wonderful large majolica jug.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Let's hope we can make it up on that.- I hope so.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42Lot number 101 is a large Italian majolica water jug. 30 to go then.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43£30, anybody? 30.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00At 38, are we all done then? Going at £38.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- Oh, no.- Oh! 38.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Never mind, you might make it up on the concrete bear.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08THEY CHUCKLE
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Lot number 102 is the bear's head.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Who wants to start me in the room at 10?
0:25:15 > 0:25:20You do? 12 is there. 15 with me. 18 now first. 18 bid. 20 now.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23At £18 my bid is down here. At £18 the bid is in the front here.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24At 18, are we all done?
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Going then at £18.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27£18!
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Oh, no! That takes you
0:25:30 > 0:25:33to minus 9 and an overall minus
0:25:33 > 0:25:36of £52.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38It's make your mind up time.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Are you going to take Mark's Oriental jug?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- It's Oriental.- Definitely.- Yes.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- Well, you can't not take it. - You can't not take it.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Well, let's see if we can make up and get you into profit
0:25:50 > 0:25:53because it's coming up...now.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58Lot number 106 is the Qianlong porcelain-footed sauce boat.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00This time, who is first in? £30, anyone?
0:26:00 > 0:26:0130's there, thank you.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04At £30 bid. 2 now, do I see? At 2.
0:26:04 > 0:26:065, 38 on the net. 38, bid 40 now.
0:26:06 > 0:26:0840 bid, no. At £38, the bid is on the net.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11And then at 38, are we all done? 40 surely.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Last call then going at £38.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- No!- £38.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18That's another minus 7, I'm afraid.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Which takes you to
0:26:19 > 0:26:24a not-so grand total of minus 59.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- But don't be downhearted. - We're not.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31That MIGHT be a winning score.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39Oh, dear. A loss on all items for the Blues today.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42On the other hand, profits all round for the Reds.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45And therefore golden gavels for the successful couple.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Right, will it be golden gavels for our next two teams?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53We'll see. But in the meantime,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I'm going to the Victorian prison in Lincoln Castle.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Behind me is the magnificent Lincoln Castle.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Built almost 1,000 years ago by William the Conqueror, this castle
0:27:06 > 0:27:10has seen some of the most dramatic events in English history.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18I'm up here on the castle walls, and despite torrential rain,
0:27:18 > 0:27:21I have a wonderful view of Lincoln Cathedral.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24But I'm not here to admire the views,
0:27:24 > 0:27:29I am here to visit the castle's Victorian prison.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Built within the castle walls, it's an extension of an earlier prison
0:27:34 > 0:27:40and it has remained unaltered since it was abandoned in 1878.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43I've come to meet Margaret Carstairs who's going to tell me
0:27:43 > 0:27:46a little more about the history of the prison.
0:27:46 > 0:27:52This particular prison was built in 1847 and occupied from 1848.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Who'd have been held prisoner here?
0:27:54 > 0:27:58It would've been men, women and children.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02- Children as well? - Yes, from the age of ten officially,
0:28:02 > 0:28:03but we have records here
0:28:03 > 0:28:06of an eight-year-old boy being incarcerated here.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11The Victorians loved building prisons and this jail is
0:28:11 > 0:28:17one of 90 built or extended between the 1840s and the 1870s.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21The aim was to bring a new approach - reforming prisoners.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24It was called the separate system.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27So the prisoners were kept separately,
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- they had their own cell, and this was quite different.- Absolutely.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34The new regime thought that if they could separate people,
0:28:34 > 0:28:37reform them with silence, solitude and religion, they could make
0:28:37 > 0:28:38them better people.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42They certainly didn't want people getting together and plotting
0:28:42 > 0:28:45and actually learning skills from each other.
0:28:45 > 0:28:50So at the end of the day, you should walk out of here a better person.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54On the surface these cells would appear to be state-of-the-art,
0:28:54 > 0:28:59equipped with a flushing toilet, central heating and running water.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00So what was the catch?
0:29:00 > 0:29:05- Were they ever let out their cells? - They were, for two hours.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- Two hours a day?- Two hours a day.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09First thing in the morning, you would be let out,
0:29:09 > 0:29:13a hood put over your head just with slits for eyes.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15You're not allowed to see anybody else.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20So even though you were with other people, there was no communication.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22No, and you were punished severely
0:29:22 > 0:29:24if you tried in any way to communicate.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27In theory, what the Victorians thought to be a good thing
0:29:27 > 0:29:29turned out to be cruel.
0:29:30 > 0:29:3422 hours of solitary confinement, instead of reforming,
0:29:34 > 0:29:36sent many prisoners mad.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42How long did the separate system last?
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- Here in Lincoln, virtually weeks. - Really?- Yes.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51As soon as this prison opened, the design of the prison made
0:29:51 > 0:29:53that we had fumes leaking upstairs,
0:29:53 > 0:29:56people were getting ill with what they called jail fever.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58It was overcrowded.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01It could not be implemented here in Lincoln.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05So ironically, did prisoners end up sharing cells?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Yes, we had three to a cell here in busy times.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Back now to Southwell. It's not race day,
0:30:13 > 0:30:15but we're odds-on for a great challenge
0:30:15 > 0:30:21as another set of Reds and Blues race around looking for a bargain.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23We have two feisty sisters...
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Oh, Maxine, here's something for you. All the criteria -
0:30:26 > 0:30:29rusty, dusty, fusty and musty.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32No way, Jose, we're having that.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35..and one determined team.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39I can smell gavel. Can you smell gavel?! I smell gavel!
0:30:39 > 0:30:40MARK GUFFAWS
0:30:42 > 0:30:46That's all for later, but let's meet today's teams.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50For the Reds, we have sisters Gillian and Maxine,
0:30:50 > 0:30:55and for the Blues, the married couple Stephen and Helena.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- Hello, everyone! ALL:- Hello!
0:30:57 > 0:31:03Yes, now, you two look like a pair to be reckoned with.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06We are. We are sisters, very close sisters and, yes,
0:31:06 > 0:31:09to be reckoned with. We are really in tune with each other.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- We know how we tick, don't we?- Yes.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13We've got personalities that complement each other.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15All right, and how do they complement one another?
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- She's the chatty one. - Oh, is she the blether?- Yes.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21I didn't need to speak until I was two years old
0:31:21 > 0:31:23because she did everything for me, so...
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Well, that's what big sisters are for, isn't it?
0:31:25 > 0:31:27I'm a big sister myself and I'm a bit chatty,
0:31:27 > 0:31:29so I know what you mean.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32You are both retired now. What sort of work did you do?
0:31:32 > 0:31:34I was a primary school teacher before I retired.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Loved my job, working with really small children.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38And what about yourself?
0:31:38 > 0:31:41My last job was working as a classroom support assistant
0:31:41 > 0:31:45in high school, which, at times, was very challenging, yes.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- But you are both retired now. BOTH:- Yes.- So, what do you?
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- What sort of things are you involved in?- We do lots of things together.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- Yes, we do.- Go to the gym. - Just swim.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56Yeah, we don't go in the gym, we just swim.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- We do voluntary work as well. - Yes, we do.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00At Barnsley Hospice.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01And actually, what we win today,
0:32:01 > 0:32:04cos we intend to win, is going to Barnsley Hospice.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05We are donating it to Barnsley Hospice.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- Oh, that's fighting talk there. - Most definitely.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10We are going for that golden gavel.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13So, that's our Red team and now for our Blues.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17We have married couple Stephen and Helena.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21Now, you've been married for 25 years. How did you meet?
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Well, we went to Bible college together down on the south coast
0:32:24 > 0:32:27and Stephen was at the front there, leading the worship band,
0:32:27 > 0:32:30playing guitar, and I took one look at him and thought,
0:32:30 > 0:32:33"That's the man for me," and fell for him hook, line and sinker.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34Job done.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37And, Stephen, you've got a career in the church.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- Tell us a wee bit about that. - Yeah, I have now.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43I was a mechanic for ten years and then I went into the church
0:32:43 > 0:32:46and I've been doing that for 20-odd years.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49And so, I'm involved with just about everything that happens in
0:32:49 > 0:32:51the church - preaching, leading the worship,
0:32:51 > 0:32:55obviously, visiting people, youth work, all sorts of things.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Are you still playing the guitar?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59I am still playing the guitar, yes.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02And, Helena, you help them in the work within the church.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03Yes, that's right.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06I help to run the babes and tods group, which is lovely.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09So, I get my turn with the littlies as well. Lots of glitter,
0:33:09 > 0:33:12lots of glue, lots of noise, but it is lovely work.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15What are your tactics going to be to win?
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Well, we've always thought we are going to buy low, nice and cheap,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21but buy quality. Something that's going to really attract people.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- Yeah, yeah, I like it.- You know, something a bit quirky, different
0:33:24 > 0:33:27and then hopefully, we'll rake the money in at the auction.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28All right, a lot of competition.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- We're definitely after the golden gavel.- Oh, yeah.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32Well, if you want those golden gavels,
0:33:32 > 0:33:34you're going to need some money, folks.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38We've got £300 there and £300 here.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43- Your experts await. So off you go. ALL:- Yes!
0:33:43 > 0:33:46This looks like it's going to be an interesting one.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51So, girls, what are we looking for today?
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Well, I like wooden things and things with a story.
0:33:53 > 0:33:54Now, what are your plans today?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Hope to get the golden gavel, that's our plan.
0:33:57 > 0:33:58HE CHUCKLES
0:33:58 > 0:34:02I quite like tasteful ceramics and glass, but I don't do rusty-dusty.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03You don't do rusty-dusty.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05She doesn't do fusty-musty either.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Maybe some wood or silver or something that really stands out.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Giddy-up, teams, your time starts now.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- BELL DINGS - Let's go shopping!- Yeah!
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Let's go shopping, shall we?
0:34:16 > 0:34:20OK, what I suggest, girls, is we go round this way
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- and go round the outside and then come round the inside, OK?- Yeah.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25While the Reds formulate a plan,
0:34:25 > 0:34:27the Blues are getting stuck in.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Have you spotted anything?
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- I was looking at the little UFO thing.- Is it a clock?- It's a clock.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- No, it says, "rain..." - I think that's quite unusual.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39- It's a barometer.- It's a bit off-the-wall, isn't it?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- I like off-the-wall. - I like off-the-wall...
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Off-the-wall is good. - ..but I think it's got to appeal
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- to an auction market.- Right. - And at the right price, of course.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49And at the right price. That's the key, that's the key.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Wise words, Mark. No pressure, then, Blues.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Now, glassware was on the Reds' wish list.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- You got some very nice things on here.- Yeah, well, you see this piece
0:34:58 > 0:35:01of glass, and this is probably Mary Gregory.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- And you see these pieces that are put on?- BOTH:- Yeah.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06This is what you call punts.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09I know it's an unusual word and it's antique terminology for
0:35:09 > 0:35:13pieces of glass that are put on, and the Germans used it a lot.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17It was for decoration, but mainly, it was for gripping the glass,
0:35:17 > 0:35:20so you could grip the glass without it sliding through your hands.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- OK?- Oh, you know your stuff, don't you?- Should we keep looking? Mm-hm.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27- OK.- You've impressed Gillian, Raj, and I.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Looks like the Blues are interested in glassware, too.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Is that blue glass? What's the letters? It's got M.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36It's S for sherry, P for port and W for whisky.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- I'll bet that's expensive. - How much?- 300.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Three... Cor! - Well, that's our entire budget.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- Guessing we'll move on. - Maybe not, then.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47We've got good taste, obviously. Good taste, just too...too high.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51Bad luck, Blues. Now, Reds, this looks psychedelic.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Oh, it's heavy.- That's nice. - You like that?- Mm-hm.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- I like the way the pattern moves. - I like that.- That is nice, isn't it?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00It's a very decorative piece of glass.
0:36:00 > 0:36:05I mean, my guess is that it probably is maybe Czechoslovakian
0:36:05 > 0:36:09or even Scandinavian. There's no markings underneath,
0:36:09 > 0:36:12but it is very decorative and a very good weight. Good choice.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Well, why don't you see what the dealer will do for it?
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- It's a really good price. - Well, I can't see it actually.
0:36:19 > 0:36:2122. It could be £20.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Well, I wasn't expecting to pay that, though. 20...
0:36:24 > 0:36:26In that case, let me see what you can do
0:36:26 > 0:36:29with your negotiation skills, girls. Off you go.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Mm-hm. So, what is your best price on that?
0:36:32 > 0:36:33For you two today, it can be 15.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35I think that that's a very,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38very fair deal and I think we should be shaking his hand.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41I think we've got to be fair and accept that one. That's brilliant.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- Thank you very much. Thank you. - Thank you.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45- Well done, girls.- Thank you.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Thank you very much.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48'Well done, Reds. The first item bought.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52'Raj, you could well be in for an easy time today.'
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Girls, fantastic. I think we are about five minutes in,
0:36:55 > 0:36:58you didn't even need me to negotiate.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02I'm really not needed on this one, am I? Fantastic. Well done.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04- Thank you.- Let's go, then. - Brilliant!
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Off you go in search of your second item, then, Reds.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Over to the Blues, and Helena wanted some silver.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13What about that little...? Is it silver, that jug there?
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Do you know what, I think it is, actually.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Could we just have a look at that jug?
0:37:17 > 0:37:19It's not a typical British shape at all, is it?
0:37:19 > 0:37:24You've got this very high brow here and all this chased in embossing
0:37:24 > 0:37:26and its rather elegant handle.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27It's quite feminine, Helena, isn't it?
0:37:27 > 0:37:30It's such a nice shape. That will look pretty on
0:37:30 > 0:37:32anybody's mantelpiece. It's not too big.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- The Victorians liked decorative things.- Yes, yes.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37But it is priced up at £90.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39We need to get something off that, then, don't we?
0:37:39 > 0:37:41We need to ask him if he can do any better.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Stephen, do you want to ask the dealer what he can do for us?
0:37:44 > 0:37:47What's your very best that you could do for us?
0:37:47 > 0:37:48What about 80?
0:37:48 > 0:37:4974?
0:37:49 > 0:37:5074, then.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- 74.- 74, I think we should go for that
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- cos we're not going to find another one...- Hold on, hold on.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- Not 74, Mark?- Hold on... - HE CLICKS TONGUE
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Mark. I want the jug, Mark. Mark, Mark, Mark. I want the jug.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02It's terrible, isn't it? You give them five minutes
0:38:02 > 0:38:05and they start making decisions on their own. We can't have that.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08You can't do it for a round 70 to give us a chance?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- No, no, no.- You want the jug? - It's a pretty jug.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- You really want the jug. - I want the jug.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- I think you're sold on it, actually. - I'm going to get blamed, aren't I?
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- I'm going to get so blamed. - Of course.- Blamed at the auction.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- I think so.- Go for it, go for it. Go for it. We need to buy something.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- OK.- £74. Shake the man's hand. - LAUGHTER
0:38:25 > 0:38:29- I'll shake the man's hand, then. - I'll blame you for shaking it first.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Oh, she does take charge, Stephen, doesn't she?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Someone has to, Mark.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37Good for you, Helena. Show the boys who's boss.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41So, that's the first buy for the Blues with 18 minutes in the clock.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Fingers crossed, you are on track for a golden gavel.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46I never knew Raj had such rhythm.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49THEY CHEER
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- There you go. Have a go. Ooh! - The golden gavel.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55I love it, ladies, but come on, Reds.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57It's time to scoop up your second item.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- I like the look of that.- Yeah.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01- This?- Yeah, this, yeah.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Well, I would think this is without a doubt 19th century.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07I can tell from the holes that it's for skimming the whey
0:39:07 > 0:39:09off the top of the milk and, to be honest,
0:39:09 > 0:39:11I haven't seen that many of them.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14OK, this, I think, is quite an unusual object.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15You know, it's not ingenious,
0:39:15 > 0:39:18someone has taken a big wooden spoon and put some holes in it,
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- and actually, that just does the job, doesn't it?- Mm-hm.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23It says £30.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26- Is it something you both like? - I like it.- I like it, yeah.- You do?
0:39:26 > 0:39:27I do, I like it. Yeah.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Well, in that case, should we see what we can get it for?
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- Up to you, girls.- I don't want to insult you or anything, but... Ten.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- 20.- Can we go 15?
0:39:37 > 0:39:38- MOUTHS:- Yeah.
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Brilliant. Well done.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42So, the milk skimmer spoon is the second item,
0:39:42 > 0:39:45but is that the end of the deal?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47I noticed that there's a ladle over there and a spoon there.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51OK, this is a really nice Georgian spoon, I think.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52It's done a lot of work, hasn't?
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Yeah, I mean, this is a 18th-century spoon in my...you know, I think.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00So, that's quite nice. And there's this lovely ladle here as well.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04- So, the three of them...- Together. - Yeah, would make quite a nice lot.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Well, the ticket price on these two is 35.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Can we ask you to come down just a little bit? 18?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- 19.- We're going to stick at the 18.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15- Oh, all right, then.- Ooh! Goodness gracious, me.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18I need to take you on all my buying trips. £18.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Well done. Shake the lady's hand.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Thank you for that so much. Thank you.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Interesting lot there, Reds.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31So, that's three spoons for £33 in roughly 20 minutes.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Helena, wooden items were also in your shopping list.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Are they taking your fancy?
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- Is the piano a box? That's unusual. - It is.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42It's a jewellery box, I think, isn't it?
0:40:42 > 0:40:44- Is it musical?- No, it's not.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46- Oh, right.- How much is it?
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Uh, it's £18.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50What could you do it for?
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- Ideally, 15.- 15. Thank you.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55I like that because it's so...dinky, miniature.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59- I like miniature.- And also... Does this move down? Yes?- Oh, look.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01- So, it's in the style. - Oh, I really like that.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05It's in the style of a Victorian boudoir grand with turned legs.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Yeah. There's no age to it, though, is there?
0:41:07 > 0:41:10- There is a bit of age there.- A bit of age.- Yeah, I mean, I would've
0:41:10 > 0:41:12thought it's '50s, '60s. So, it's got a bit of age.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14What do you think, Stephen?
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- I like that, but I've already have the...chose the silver jug.- Yeah.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- I don't want to be...- The dealer said it's 18.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20Didn't you say you'd do it for 15?
0:41:20 > 0:41:2215 would be the best on that.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Would you actually go down to 13?
0:41:24 > 0:41:26I can do it for 14.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28- You like that?- It's not a lot of money.- No, it isn't.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31I love it, but then that's me, isn't it? It's wooden.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Yeah, go for it if you want. 14.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35- Right.- Yeah.- We'll take it. - Thank you.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37That's lovely, thank you.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Well, listen, you struck all the right notes with that one.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42- Should we carry on shopping?- Yes!
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Well done, Blues, or should I say Helena?
0:41:45 > 0:41:48That's your second item in 25 minutes.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52After some more searching, the Reds have decided to head outside.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56- Why don't we go outside and do the outside stands?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- While it's stopped raining. - Yes, yes.- Should we nip out?
0:41:59 > 0:42:02- Yes, let's do it.- You up for that? - Yeah.
0:42:02 > 0:42:07The Reds head outside and, sure enough, Gillian thinks she's spotted something.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Oh, Maxine, here's something for you!
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Go on, girls.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Oh, look at this! All the criteria -
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- rusty, dusty, fusty and musty. - SHE LAUGHS
0:42:18 > 0:42:20No way, Jose, are we having that.
0:42:20 > 0:42:25Ah, yes, I had forgotten the Reds were avoiding rusty-dusty items.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Back inside, what's next for the Blues?
0:42:28 > 0:42:32Are they Doulton, the salt and the mustard?
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- Are they together or separate? - Well, they are a pair, so...
0:42:35 > 0:42:37- I mean, they look nice. - I'll give you that piece.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40You've got the Doulton Lambeth mark here
0:42:40 > 0:42:42and you've got signature here
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- and you've got a date there - 1871. - Yeah.- Whoo!
0:42:45 > 0:42:46What's the price?
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- 145.- Right.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51- I don't know, Stephen. - We are now down to ten minutes.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53We may need to make decisions.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55If this is a no, then we will thank the dealer and we will move
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- on to the next one.- No, I think it's a no at the moment.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00No, it's a no permanently. I'm not coming back.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03- We haven't got time to come back. - Thank you very much, sir.
0:43:03 > 0:43:04- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07- You've got ten minutes, Stephen. - Yes.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10This is what I promised we would not do is to leave it last-minute
0:43:10 > 0:43:13- and then make a bad decision. - Come on, Blues.
0:43:13 > 0:43:18Now is not the time to crumble. As Mark says, just ten minutes left.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21Reds, you need to find your final item, too.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23I thought you didn't want to spend much.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26- No, it's going to be an awful lot of money.- It's £240.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29I'm afraid it's out of our league. 240.
0:43:29 > 0:43:33Well, Reds, you have £252 left to spend.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36I mean, it's a very pretty set, it's a really good maker, Shelley.
0:43:36 > 0:43:41It is collectable, but that...that is a retail price, I think.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43Tell me, what do you think about this?
0:43:43 > 0:43:44Well, it caught my eye from a distance.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47I just love the colours to it and the quirky shapes to it.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49I just find it so appealing.
0:43:49 > 0:43:54Hi there. The girls really like the Shelley tea service.
0:43:54 > 0:43:56My good lady says we can go down
0:43:56 > 0:43:58to 160 on it.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01I think that's actually not a bad price at all.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04Well, we'll have to sort of say, "If it's perfect."
0:44:04 > 0:44:07- You can say, "Is it complete?" Yeah. - Yeah, yeah. OK. Come on, then.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10- Let you do the negotiating on this one.- Yeah.- Come on, then.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13Looks like the stall holder has brought in his good lady to
0:44:13 > 0:44:15negotiate with you, Maxine.
0:44:15 > 0:44:17They've got some questions for you.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20Is it a complete set?
0:44:20 > 0:44:25It is. There's 24 pieces because it's actually got its teapot stand,
0:44:25 > 0:44:26which is very unusual.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29It's in perfect condition. It's 1930s.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32- Can I touch a piece? - Yes, you can.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35Thank you.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37How do you feel about 120?
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Um, 140?
0:44:39 > 0:44:40130?
0:44:40 > 0:44:42Yes. I'll do 130.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45- Yeah?- Are you happy with that? - I'm happy with that, yeah.- And you?
0:44:45 > 0:44:48I think that that's a very, very fair price, girls,
0:44:48 > 0:44:51- so I would shake the lady's hand. - Thank you very much.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53Thank you.
0:44:53 > 0:44:54What a discount, Reds.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57Wow, girls, we've already got the three items.
0:44:57 > 0:44:58We are finished.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01- Let's go and have a cup of tea. - Sounds like a plan.- Let's go!
0:45:01 > 0:45:04Hopefully, not in your Shelley tea service, Reds.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06How long left on the clock?
0:45:06 > 0:45:09- Seven minutes.- Seven minutes.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12And it looks like the Blues have returned to a familiar stall.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15Is this card box worth the gamble?
0:45:15 > 0:45:17So, what do you like about it?
0:45:17 > 0:45:19It just attracts me.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21This type of decoration was very popular in the late
0:45:21 > 0:45:25- Victorian, Edwardian period. And this is known as pokerwork.- Yes.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27So, all this would have been done by hand.
0:45:27 > 0:45:28I mean, it is what it is.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31It's a nice, simple item. I mean, it's priced at £22.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34It's not going to set the auction world alight, I'm afraid.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36But you like it, Stephen, and it's the first time
0:45:36 > 0:45:39so far that I've seen any passion in anything we've liked.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41- Yes.- So, please, buy it.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43We've got five minutes, Stephen.
0:45:43 > 0:45:46He's got 22 on the price tag, what can you do it for?
0:45:46 > 0:45:4816 would be the best on that.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50Can you not come down a little bit more?
0:45:50 > 0:45:53I think about 14 again, like the other item we bought?
0:45:53 > 0:45:54I'll meet you in the middle at 15
0:45:54 > 0:45:56being as you bought the other one.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59- Helena?- Please buy it, Stephen. - Please buy it?
0:45:59 > 0:46:00Please just buy the box!
0:46:00 > 0:46:02- Thank you very much. £15.- Pleasure.
0:46:02 > 0:46:03Well done, Blues.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06Job done with just minutes to spare. BELL TOLLS
0:46:07 > 0:46:09That's it. Time's up.
0:46:09 > 0:46:13Hallelujah. We've finished. Well done.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16Let's go back to Bourne and to the saleroom there.
0:46:16 > 0:46:17But before we sell,
0:46:17 > 0:46:20let's have a reminder of what the Red team bought.
0:46:23 > 0:46:27First up, our sisters Gillian and Maxine wanted the golden gavel.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30At £15 will this vase help them on their way?
0:46:30 > 0:46:34Next up, maybe these spoons will cause a stir at the auction,
0:46:34 > 0:46:36bought for £33.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39And finally, will they be dining out on the profits
0:46:39 > 0:46:43from this tea service, bought for £130?
0:46:43 > 0:46:46Well, girls, this is the exciting part.
0:46:46 > 0:46:49We've left him £122,
0:46:49 > 0:46:51which is a goodly sum.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54Raj, what did you spend the money on?
0:46:54 > 0:46:57- Well, are you ready, ladies?- Ready. - Yes.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59- THEY GASP - Voila.- Oh, nice.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02It's a little display cabinet with a tray top.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04I like that, yes. Impressed.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07- I think it's very saleable. - What did you pay for it, though?
0:47:07 > 0:47:09£50, that's all.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11- Wow!- Yeah.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13Think we could make a profit on that, don't you?
0:47:13 > 0:47:15I certainly hope so.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18We will probably go with it, but we're not deciding yet, though.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21The girls know this game inside-out.
0:47:21 > 0:47:26We'll see if they go with Raj's bonus buy later on.
0:47:26 > 0:47:27Now for the Blues.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30First up, Stephen and Helena poured £74 of their cash
0:47:30 > 0:47:32into this silver jug.
0:47:32 > 0:47:37Will this jewellery box be playing a happy tune at auction?
0:47:37 > 0:47:39Only £14 paid.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42And finally, I'm sure our pastor will be praying for a profit
0:47:42 > 0:47:45on this card box bought for £15.
0:47:46 > 0:47:51Stephen, Helena, you left Mark quite a bit of money.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54Will he have spent a lot of money?
0:47:54 > 0:47:57- Yes, he would have spent a lot of money.- Mark, reveal all.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00- Well, I will.- Ahh!
0:48:00 > 0:48:04You see, I really like this. It's not terribly old. It's...
0:48:04 > 0:48:07I don't know, 20, 30 years old, but I think it's really nicely done.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10And it fits an old and a new house.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13This would look lovely on a Georgian side table.
0:48:13 > 0:48:17So, how much did you...spend?
0:48:17 > 0:48:22I spent £170 on it, which is a gamble, isn't it?
0:48:22 > 0:48:24How much do you think it's going to get at auction?
0:48:24 > 0:48:26- About £1.70. - THEY LAUGH
0:48:26 > 0:48:29No, I don't know. It really does depend.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32It wouldn't surprise me if it made a profit, but on the other hand,
0:48:32 > 0:48:34it's a tricky decision.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37Will the Blues have their heads in their hands later on?
0:48:37 > 0:48:40We'll see soon enough as Colin Young is ready.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43So let's go make some money!
0:48:43 > 0:48:46- OK, girls, here we are. How do you feel?- Excited.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48- Really excited.- Can't wait.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50Oh, yeah. You've got big smiles on your faces.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52Have you been to an auction before?
0:48:52 > 0:48:53We've been to an auction before,
0:48:53 > 0:48:55but we've never sold anything at an auction before.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57- It is exciting?- Very.
0:48:57 > 0:49:01Well, your first item is the art glass vase. A bonny thing.
0:49:01 > 0:49:05- Very nice.- We liked it. It's coming up right now.- Wow!
0:49:05 > 0:49:10Lot number 157 is an art glass vase. There we go, nice swirl decoration.
