0:00:02 > 0:00:05No matter what the weather, no matter how fair the season,
0:00:05 > 0:00:09no matter how hard you've worked your socks off all week,
0:00:09 > 0:00:15changed the baby, weeded the path, this, bargain hunters, is your moment.
0:00:15 > 0:00:20Stand by, look sharp, let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Good day to you.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52We're at Grimsthorpe Castle in the county of Lincolnshire.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55There's an awful lot to get through today, but first,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58let's have a quick sneak preview at what's coming up.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Will the Reds take a punt?
0:01:02 > 0:01:04We've gambled on the last one. We gamble on them all.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Oh, I love this!
0:01:06 > 0:01:10And the Blues get confused.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- Oh, right. - I think you pull that off.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Oh, right.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- At least all will become clear at the auction.- ..seven, eight, nine.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21How fun is this?
0:01:21 > 0:01:23All that's for later.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Right now, let's go and meet today's contestants.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35Hello, bargain hunters. Today we have good friends Helen and Donna for the Reds
0:01:35 > 0:01:40and for the Blues, Peter and Daniel, father and son. Welcome to Bargain Hunt, everybody.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Thank you.- Hi. Lovely to see you.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44How do you two girls know each other?
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- We work together in a school. - You're teachers?
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- One is a teacher, one is a teaching assistant.- Who's the assistant?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- I'm the assistant. - I'll start with you, then.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56What's this about parachute jumping? What do you like about that?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58I did it for a sponsorship.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00I don't know whether I'd do it again, it was pretty scary.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Yes. You've also got a great interest in jewellery.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Yes.- Tell me about that.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I like lapis and jet and silver jewellery.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- The lapis stuff is nice, isn't it? I suppose you like that cos of the blue colour?- Yes, I do.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Now, Helen, you're a primary school teacher.- I am, indeed.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19And you've got 20 of these little toads that you look after.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Yes, darlings that they are. - It must be quite stressful.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Stressful, but fun. Yeah, they put a lot of life into your life, I suppose.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- They've got a lot of character.- Yes.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Always coming out with daft things.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Very good luck today. - Thank you.- Lovely. Now, boys.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36What brought you two onto Bargain Hunt, then?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- We have a shared interest in it.- Yeah.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I mean, it's good watching other people do it and then you think, oh,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- maybe I could do a little bit better than that.- I know.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49There are a lot of people sitting on couches throughout Great Britain
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- who watch this programme and say, "I could do that better!"- Exactly.
0:02:53 > 0:02:59And good for you to have a try, anyway. Now, Peter, you're a writer. Tell me how that all came about.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03It starts with poetry, really. Just been writing down the years.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05So, it started as a hobby, did it?
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Yes, it did, yes, yes.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Then, one day, I managed to sell quite a few and I thought, I'll take this up full time if I can.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13You've got a fan base in America?
0:03:13 > 0:03:19Very much so, yes, yeah. One of the books is actually out there now and that's actually selling quite well.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21What is your strategy between you two boys
0:03:21 > 0:03:25for today's victory which you're anticipating, perhaps?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29I've always liked quirky things and weird-looking things and things that you don't know what it is
0:03:29 > 0:03:33and what... You know, what did they make that for, sort of thing.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Stand by for the weird and wonderful?- Yes, I think pretty much.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41Jolly good. Well, the moment now is to stand by for the cash, actually, because this is your £300 moment.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- There's your £300.- Thank you.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48You know the rules, your experts await and off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54Our expert for the Reds today is the ever-so-jolly Jonathan Pratt.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01While for the Blues, it's the delectable Kate Bliss.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04And they'll need to get a sprint on today as they'll be helping not one,
0:04:04 > 0:04:06but two pairs of Reds and Blues.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10In fact, has Kate found something for the Blues already?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14May we have a little look? Thank you.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Now, these are quite commercial things
0:04:16 > 0:04:19because people like buying them for presents,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22wedding presents, christening presents, whatever you like.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27And although it's got a few little dimples, that, to me, just shows that it's got a bit of age to it.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32- Yeah.- Have a feel of that, Peter. - What sort of age are we thinking? - I think that that is...
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Let's look at the hallmark.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37That's Chester and that is sort of Edward VII.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41I think that's 1908, that date letter there, so it's got a lot of age to it.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Yes. Can I feel it?
0:04:42 > 0:04:48- How much is it?- It's 115, but I could give it for 98.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- 98.- 98.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- How do you think that would do at an auction? Do you think that would... - Well, it is silver.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Yeah.- You know, there's a lot of silver in there...- Yeah. - ..if you feel that.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02- Shall we try it then? If there's a lot of people... - Yeah. OK, then.- Yeah.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Could you do 95 at a real push for us?- Yes.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Yes. What do you think?
0:05:06 > 0:05:12- Yeah, let's do it.- Yeah, let's go. - Happy?- Yeah.- We have our first purchase.- Lovely.- Yeah. Yeah. Good.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Marvellous. That's what I like to see, decisive action.
0:05:15 > 0:05:21Now, the Reds need to break into their £300.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- I love the big blue...- Do you? - I think that's lovely.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- I prefer the little bowl. - Do you?- The blue-green bowl. - I like the blue...
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Which green bowl?- The blue... - The bluey-green one. - Have we looked at any glass?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- No.- Let's have a look at a piece of glass.- OK
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- Careful.- Yeah, I know. This one looks really precarious.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Who is this by?- It is Murano. - It's Murano, OK.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- I'll go down to 35.- You could go to 35 on this. You see, that's...
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Would you buy that for £35?
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Yes.- You come here on a Sunday afternoon and you think, I'd go in with that because I really like it.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Yes, because I like it. - Shall we buy something?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56I do like it. But I also like the really big one at the back.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Yes, I really like that.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- That's just...- Crikey!
0:06:01 > 0:06:02It's nice that it's got a label on, still.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- But you really like that. - I really like that.- I like it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10- That is more of a bargain, I feel. - That's more affordable. I don't say bargain, it's more affordable.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13There would be more people willing to part with 35 quid,
0:06:13 > 0:06:18whereas there would be slightly more... A slightly more select market for this because, you know...
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- I'll let you choose.- OK, well, we'll take a bid from you, then.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Do you want to choose? You make the decision. - I don't want to choose.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- No, because you... We like both of them, but...- I do like both.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33It's all about liking it and if you both really, really love it,
0:06:33 > 0:06:38it's Murano, it's a very fashionable style of it, then it's your choice this time, will you go for it?
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Are you going to go for it? - Yes. And you can tell us I told you so at the auction!
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Who knows? I know that glass can be very unpredictable.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- OK.- OK, right.
0:06:47 > 0:06:53So, the ladies have parted with £70 and got themselves some funky coloured glass.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58Now, we have had 31 minutes so we're over halfway through
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I think we'd better get a spurt on.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Yeah.- Yeah?- Yes, definitely. - Let's have a look down here.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08OK, then, halfway through and only one item per team. They need to buck up and get moving.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10We need some Bargain Hunt bloodhounds on them.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Yes, I rather like that idea.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Well, sort of.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Do you like that, Peter? - Yes, very much.
0:07:19 > 0:07:25Now I like this because what we've got on here is, look, The Cub it's called,
0:07:25 > 0:07:30- which I think is really sweet because it's like a little miniature one, isn't it?- It is, yes.
0:07:30 > 0:07:36The Cub as opposed to the daddy lion and you've got the maker's name here,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Newbold and Bulford Limited, which is quite nice, a London maker.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43That just gives it a little bit of class, of quality, having that on there.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Very much. - And it pulls out rather nicely.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49It's all well oiled and working.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52It's got the cap. Now, is that quirky enough for you, Dan?
0:07:52 > 0:07:57- Yes. I like it. Yeah, it's quirky, very quirky.- If we can get some money knocked off that 65, though.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Is that what it is, £65? - Yeah, 65 so if we could get...
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- What do you think about that, Peter? - £45.- You think 45. What do you think, Dan?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- I was going to say 50, but if you say 45 then go for it.- Yeah.- If you go for that first and then...
0:08:09 > 0:08:14- Well, you go to speak to him, then. See if he's willing.- Let's go do some negotiating. Give it to Peter.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- Yeah.- Go see what you can do.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Whilst Peter negotiates for the Blues,
0:08:18 > 0:08:22I think the Reds are being gently steered by their affable expert.
0:08:25 > 0:08:32- Well, we haven't really looked at much jewellery yet and you're a fan of...- Yeah, and I'm...
0:08:32 > 0:08:38- I quite like that one there. - You like that one.- Yeah.- They've got a selection of items. Can we have...
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- I think that one catches the eye, doesn't it, the most? - I like the style of that one.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44It's very, very much Art Nouveau.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47That's a very strong sort of design, sinuous lines.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48So, when would that be made, then?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- 1920s-ish?- No, much earlier.
0:08:50 > 0:08:531890s to 1900.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Oh, OK.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58And they're not zircons, they are...
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- I suppose they could be a blue topaz, actually. - But we can't be sure.
0:09:01 > 0:09:07It's stamped nine carat and it's a rose gold that's been... bloomed with a yellow gold.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09What's your very best price?
0:09:09 > 0:09:10£200.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14£200, and no lower? No, OK. £200.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I really, really like it.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21I'd probably put a thinner chain than that to make it even more delicate, I think, but I really do like that.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Shall we do it?- 'Will she?'
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Look at that face.- Drum roll, please.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Go for it?- Yes.- OK, wonderful.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Well, we'll take it, then. We got round to it in the end.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Look at that, you see.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Yes! Something sparkling for the ladies and not before time.
0:09:36 > 0:09:3811 minutes left.
0:09:39 > 0:09:46Before Pete had agreed a price on the telescope, Dan found something else interesting on the same stall.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Do you like these, Dan?- I do. - Why do you like these?- I like this because this is interesting
0:09:50 > 0:09:54and they're in really good condition and if you look they've all got...
0:09:54 > 0:09:56They've all got little numbers on them.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01And if you look at the top, it says set number one and there are some initials there.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06- Rules are collectable, actually.- Are they?- You've got quite a nice set of rules there.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10You've got one, two, three, four. And then these little miniature ones.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11I... I think they're rather nice.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I can see someone buying this. I think someone would like it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- They do really grab you, don't they? I can see that.- Yeah.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Are you going have a chat, Dan?- I'll go and speak to him and we'll see.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- See what he says. - Combine the other, as well.
0:10:22 > 0:10:28- We definitely, definitely want to buy both of them...- But!
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Could you possibly do it for 60?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- For both.- For both?
0:10:33 > 0:10:34- No.- To take two things off your hands.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39Yes, but look at this. Look, you've got the one there at 65,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42so it means I'm taking a fiver off that and you're getting that for nothing.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- How about 65?- No, it's 70.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48It's got to be 70 for the two because, as you see, this was 30
0:10:48 > 0:10:53and that's 60. That's 95, so I've knocked you 25... That's 25...
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Over 25% you've got knocked off.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Well, what do you think, boys? That's the price.- Yeah, I think so.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- I think you've still got a little chance of making a profit.- Yeah.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Yeah.- What do you think? - Yeah, I think so.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- I think we should see.- Happy?- Yeah.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Yeah.- Well, we haven't got an enormous amount of time left,
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- so I think it might be pretty good to get two while we're here.- Yeah.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Yeah.- Yeah?- That's it, then, isn't it?- Sorted.- Happy?- Yeah. - Definitely.- Yes, please.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23It's a done deal. £45 for the telescope and £25 for the rulers.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25That's the Blues finished.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Now, back to the Reds. Hang on... Haven't we spied something like this before?
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Well, it's just...a four-draw... A four-draw telescope.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Lacquered brass with a little mahogany sleeve and...
0:11:37 > 0:11:43He said... Well, he said he'd do it for £30 which is no good for us, but he might do it for 29.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45No, I don't want to give myself a bad deal here!
0:11:45 > 0:11:50But look, you've got this little... this little cap on the end, which is nice.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- Do people collect these? - It works. That little lens is in good condition. Sorry?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Do people collect them?- Yeah. I've sold them in the past.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01I've sold them without a maker's name on in slightly worse condition
0:12:01 > 0:12:03with a, you know, a crack running down there
0:12:03 > 0:12:07and they regularly make £20 to £30, easy... Easily.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Shall we do it?- Shall we? - Yeah, go on, then.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Go on then, OK, brilliant. - Run around for 20.- £25.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- £25.- Brilliant.- Excellent. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18That's it! They're clean out of time.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24First up for the Reds was the Murano glass.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29A funky little number coming in at £70.
0:12:29 > 0:12:35Next, they splashed a whopping £200 on a nine-carat gold pendant.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38And, finally, I see no ships,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41but there might be a profit in the 19th-century telescope.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Nice one, Nelson!
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- So, girls, you got your face out of the trough at last.- We have.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52You spent £295, which is quite magnificent, actually.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56And I can see that Jonathan Pratt is looking very shifty.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- That's not a normal look for me. - No, not at all.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- Who's got the fiver?- I've got it. - Well done. Here's your £5 note.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06This is a challenge, Jonathan, you've got to find this bonus buy
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- with a £5 note. Something that will make a lot of profit.- Please!
0:13:10 > 0:13:16- I've got to find something people want to buy... This is the thing! - Yes. Well, good luck with that.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Now... Stop giggling, you lot!
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I'm going to recap on what the Blues have bought.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25First up for the Blues a wee dram of rum would taste rather nice
0:13:25 > 0:13:30in this silver hip flask purchased for £95.
0:13:30 > 0:13:36The Cub-inscribed leather-bound telescope for £45.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Finally, in a double deal with the telescope,
0:13:39 > 0:13:43an additional £25 secured them the mahogany set of rulers.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Rambunctious!
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- So, guys, was it a good experience or not?- Yeah, it was good.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- It was, very good. - You spent your £165.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I'd like £135, please.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Here we go, £135 of leftover lolly.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Here comes the leftover lolly for Kate.- Thank you.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- It's your moment, Kate, to go and shine.- OK.- Are you feeling shiny?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- I'm feeling glowy!- Oh, are you?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Well, we've come to the Mackworth Hotel just outside Derby
0:14:19 > 0:14:24to Charles Hanson Auctions, with no less a personage than Charles Hanson himself.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- Great to see you.- Good to see you, thank you for having us.- No problem.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33Now, Helen and Donna, their first item is this Murano glass bowl.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36It's the iridescent look. It's modern.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- I'm sure it will go to most homes today, be it antique collectors or the young.- Yes, quite.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- How much do you think?- Well, it's a lovely object, I like it very much.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49- Between £20 and £30.- 20 and 30? - Yes.- Oh, dear. They paid £70.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- Oh, right.- What about the, um,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54gold and topaz Art Nouveau necklace?
0:14:54 > 0:15:01I think, Tim, again the market today is so strong for good jewellery which is in a certain period.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04In all honesty, Tim, it could make £150.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- It needs to.- Right.- Because Jonathan Pratt found it.
0:15:07 > 0:15:13- He knows his onions when it comes to these bits of jewellery.- He does. - He paid £200 for it.- Crikey! OK.
0:15:13 > 0:15:20- Whether you spy many buyers or not, this last item will help you go about your job of work.- Yes.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23I quite like this, Tim. It's obviously... It's quite clearly...
0:15:23 > 0:15:26We can see what it is, it's a telescope, lacquered brass.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I suppose it must be, what? 1880 would you say?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- Something like that, I suppose. - That sort of period.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34My guide price, I could see it making between £40 and £60.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39Oh, well, that's great. £25 is all Jonathan paid for that, which is a modest price.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Good, that sounds modest. - So we seem to have a winner there.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47We've got some conjecture over where the necklace might or might not go
0:15:47 > 0:15:51and a bit of a downer, I'm afraid, on the blue bowl.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55So, overall then, it doesn't look completely plain sailing.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58We'd better go and have a look at the bonus buy.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Here we go, ladies.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04LAUGHTER
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- OK. Yeah, good. - It's a Rupert The Pear buzzle.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Rupert The Pear?!
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Rupert The Bear puzzle! - It's really nice.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Yeah, it's all complete. It's a little play worn, but you know...
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- There's no box, but what do you expect for a fiver?- I like it.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24- For £5!- It's not bad.- I could make you a pound's profit and make maybe more.- Fantastic.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26You don't have to decide right now
0:16:26 > 0:16:30about this majorly important art purchase which Jonathan has made,
0:16:30 > 0:16:34but let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Rupert Bear.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38This is nice. We've got Tiger Lily, Pong Ping, Podgy.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Obviously it's Rupert,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- and it's a jigsaw puzzle, isn't it, I suppose?- Yes.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47I would hope that a young lady or collector might pay £15 for it.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Do you really?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- Wind blowing.- Wind blowing.- Yes.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Very good. Well, down you go, Rupert.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Settle down there. So, that's it for the Reds.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Now for the Blues, Peter and Daniel. Their first item is the hip flask.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- Yes.- Always good sellers, those, aren't they?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06They are, Tim. It's solid silver throughout.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10It's that lovely concave square form, hallmarked as well for Chester,
0:17:10 > 0:17:12early 20th century, Edwardian,
0:17:12 > 0:17:18- I would value it between £80 and £100, realistically talking.- Right.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19£95 they paid.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Yes.- Now, what are the odds
0:17:21 > 0:17:25on two teams each buying little spyglasses like this?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28I mean, it's extraordinary, isn't it? They've both gone for one.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I can't believe it. Again, it's nicely leathered, Morocco bound.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33What's your estimate?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- Tim, my guide price is between £50 and £70.- Is it?- Yes.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Well, that's very good, because they paid 45.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- Fine.- But it's not as good as the £25 that the Reds paid.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44- Correct. Agreed.- Is it?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- What about the rulers?- Yes, the rulers, Tim, are...
0:17:47 > 0:17:50a bit of a, I suppose, mishmash, really.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53The box quite clearly must be 1900, 1910,
0:17:53 > 0:17:57and the rules, there are some replacements, some are marked,
0:17:57 > 0:18:01but I would say it's a nice George V period little ruler case.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02- Yes.- What's it worth, then?
0:18:02 > 0:18:09- Well, Tim, I would suggest today its value would be between £30 and £50. - Good. £25 paid.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- Great. Good.- That was quite clever of Daniel to find that for £25, actually.- Good.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15So, bit of a mixed bag.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- Yes.- Rather more hopeful, one might think, than the Reds, but you never know.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24They might need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Well, this is a bit of a mystery item, actually.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- A bit historical, which I thought would interest both of you.- Yeah.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34It's a silver belt buckle, in the shape of a shield.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Your belt goes through there.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37But what I rather like about it
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- is this rather nicely cast Viking ship on it.- Yes.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Have a look. It's quite heavy, quite a lot of silver in there.- Yeah.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45How much at auction do you think it would get?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I think I'd put an estimate of £30 to £50 on it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- OK.- OK. Yeah, I like it.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53You like it? What do you think?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Yes, I think... I do actually, yes. I like it.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Well, for £35 I think it's a good lump of silver.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Do people actually collect these things, do you think?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- Yes, exactly.- Hold that thought.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08Let's find out, for the viewers at home, what the auctioneer thinks about the belt buckle.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I think it's beautifully cast, beautifully embossed,
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- in good condition. I like it.- You do?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- I like it.- You rate it?- I do.- What sort of estimate do you put on it?
0:19:17 > 0:19:22We can see it's hallmarked for London about 1937
0:19:22 > 0:19:25and my guide price, Tim, would be between £40 and £70.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Well, Kate will be delighted because she only paid £35.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32That's if the team decide to go with the bonus buy, which of course they may not,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34but we can rely on you, can't we, Charles?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- I'm looking forward to it, Tim, as always.- Good, good. Good chap.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51So, girls, how are we feeling on the edge of this great excitement?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Nervous. Very nervous.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Are you?- Expecting not a lot. - You're expecting not a lot?- No.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- Meaning you're not that confident, then, is that right?- Not really, no.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02What's the matter with you?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- We think we spent a little bit too much on the jewellery.- Do you?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09First up is your bowl, and here it comes, darling.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14It's a magnificent Murano glass bowl
0:20:14 > 0:20:16with an iridescent finish,
0:20:16 > 0:20:22and I am bid 25, 30, 35, 40, 45.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Do I see 50 now for it? 45.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28It takes my lower bid. Do I see 50?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Come on. At 45. Do I see 50?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33At £45. 50!
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- Yes.- I'm out. You're in, sir. 50. I'll take five now.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- 50. I'll take five.- Come on!
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Come on. At 50, all done?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44It's a lot better than it WAS going to be. Look at that.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46We're only minus 20 on that. That's not too bad.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- That's a good start.- Very good.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Now, the jewellery.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56Gold and blue topaz pendant, on chain.
0:20:56 > 0:21:02I am bid straight in. I must go at £100, with a way to go still.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Do I see 105?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07At 100. Do I see 105?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10110. 115.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13120 I'm bid. Do I see 125?
0:21:13 > 0:21:19At 120. Do I see 125 now? 125. I've got 130.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- He's going on.- 135 is yours.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25At 135 I am out.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Do I see 140 now? Come on.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31At 135, fair warning, we sell.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Once, twice, three times a lady. It's yours.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37135.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39That is disappointing, isn't it?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- That's minus 65.- Well, OK.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Never mind.- Now, the telescope could claw it all back.
0:21:45 > 0:21:51Nice example, this, and I am bid straight in at £35 the lot.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Do I see 40 now for it? I look for 40. Come on!
0:21:54 > 0:21:58At £35. Do I see 40, surely?
0:21:58 > 0:22:03At 35. All done at £35.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Yes, we are, it's going.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Well done, Jonathan. That's a profit of £10.- Right, OK.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11So, 65 becomes 55, plus 20 is 75.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Minus 75, girls, which is disappointing, isn't it?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18It is disappointing. Are you going to go with the puzzle? The bear?
0:22:18 > 0:22:22- We've got to!- You're going to go with that bear face.- He's going to save the day.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Yeah. Well done, teachers. Here we go.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27A nice puzzle being shown there for you by Pat.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Do I see £5 for it?
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Come on. Surely £5. And you're in.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Do I see six?
0:22:34 > 0:22:38LOSING HIS VOICE: Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Eight. Nine.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Miss Hornblower, nine. 10. 12. 14.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49One more. I'll take £13. 13. 14. 15.
0:22:49 > 0:22:5416. 17. One more. You've come so far.
0:22:54 > 0:23:01At £16. I'll take 17. 18. 19.
0:23:01 > 0:23:0520. Two. Four.
0:23:05 > 0:23:1026. 28. 30.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Are you sure? You've come so far?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- How fun is this?- I'll take £30.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19I'll take 29 if it helps. 29. 30, Miss Hornblower.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Thank you for coming!
0:23:21 > 0:23:2331. No more?
0:23:23 > 0:23:26We say sale, Miss Hornblower.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- There we go. - Miss Hornblower.- £30.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32She is a... Phenomenal Miss Hornblower, isn't she?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Anyway, there we go, plus £25.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38That's a perfectly nice score, that, isn't it? Isn't that good?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40If we could just have the plus 25.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42You've got £25 of profit on that.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Well done, Jonathan.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46So, you are minus £50 only now.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49That could be a winning score, couldn't it?
0:23:49 > 0:23:54It could be a winning score, it could easily be a winning score. Seriously, it could easily be.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- It's not going to buy a pint, though.- No, but you might still win the day,
0:23:57 > 0:24:02- so don't say anything to the Blues, all right?- OK.- Things could go REALLY badly for them.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- Now, Daniel and Peter, how are you feeling, all right?- All right. - Not too bad.- Are you?- Yes.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- You're not nervous or...- Looking forward to it.- Looking forward.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19But looking at these estimates, I don't think you've got a great deal
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- to worry about. First up is the hip flask and here it comes.- OK.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24A lovely silver hip flask.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Ideal for a gift, and I will start at 45.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31£50. Do I see five now?
0:24:31 > 0:24:3450 I'll take. Five for it surely.
0:24:34 > 0:24:3650. I'll take five. Come on!
0:24:36 > 0:24:39At £50 we sell.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- I can't believe it. £50, Kate? That is...- That's really cheap.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- I mean, REALLY cheap. What's the matter with them?- I don't know.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Anyway, there we go, minus £45. Not a great start, that.- No.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53No, and unpredicted, too.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56A four draw brass and leather bound telescope.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00I am bid 35.
0:25:00 > 0:25:0340, 45. Do I see eight for it?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Come on. At 45 now. Do I see eight?
0:25:06 > 0:25:11At £45 we are going out and selling.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14£45, that's wiped its face.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- Yes, no profit, no loss, no shame, no gain.- Right, OK.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23OK there, a fine set, the rulers. Start me at £10.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- Oh, no, this is terrible!- 10.
0:25:25 > 0:25:3012. 15. 18. 20. Two.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Come on!
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- One more.- £20. Do I see... They're worth far more, they really are.
0:25:35 > 0:25:3820. I'll take two. One more.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Yes? Thank you. Are you sure?
0:25:41 > 0:25:46Thank you. 22. 25? Are you sure?
0:25:46 > 0:25:51At £22 we'll say...sale.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55£22 we say sale, that's minus three pounds.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00Well, I would say that the room went very flat there for a few moments.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Sadly, our three lots.- It did. - Funny, isn't it?- Absolutely flat.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08- But let's be positive, you're minus 48. What are you going to do about the buckle?- I think we should do it.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Yes.- You're going to go with it? - I think so.- Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15I think if I was you I would go for that buckle. Why not? £35 paid.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- We're going with the bonus buy and it's coming up right now.- Yes, OK.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21A shield-shaped Viking buckle.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23I've got some interest here.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27I'll start at £25.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Do I see eight, please? 25.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Eight. 30. Two. Five.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Eight.
0:26:34 > 0:26:3740. Two. Five. It takes my under bid.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Do I see eight? At 45. And selling.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42All out.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45£45, that's fair enough. You are plus £10 on that.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Well, at least it's some justice...
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- Yeah.- To get a profit on the bonus buy. Quite right, too.- Yeah.
0:26:50 > 0:26:56So overall you're minus £38, OK? You're minus £38.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- No shame in that.- No.- Just don't tell the Reds, OK?- Right, yeah.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02So the Blues made a loss of £38, but they're still the winners,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05as, remember, the Reds made a loss of £50.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Coming up - will our next two teams have better luck
0:27:10 > 0:27:13when they take their three items to auction?
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Find out in a moment. First, I'm off to somewhere really grand.
0:27:18 > 0:27:25Sir Christopher Wren, the architect, is synonymous with many great British landmarks,
0:27:25 > 0:27:32not least St Paul's, but he also had a hand in Lincoln Cathedral, which is where I'm heading today.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37The cathedral has taken literally centuries to build.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42For over 900 years, it has withstood military occupation, fire and earthquake,
0:27:42 > 0:27:48but its history has made it the soaring medieval-cum-Gothic landmark that it is today.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Just look at that!
0:27:51 > 0:27:58In 1668, Dean Michael Honeywood supervised the literary collection
0:27:58 > 0:28:01in the Medieval Library here at Lincoln.
0:28:01 > 0:28:10A passionate book collector himself, the library soon started to swell with the weight of all those books.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Wren had already rebuilt most of the London churches
0:28:19 > 0:28:24destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666,
0:28:24 > 0:28:28so what better architect could there be to oversee
0:28:28 > 0:28:32the building of the library at Lincoln Cathedral?
0:28:34 > 0:28:41And this is it, Wren's library, built between 1674 and 1676.
0:28:41 > 0:28:47An elongated cube room that Wren cleverly constructed on top of a cloister,
0:28:47 > 0:28:52but it does at lease provide the all-important storage for books.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Thousands of them.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58In fact, there are 5,000 books in this library
0:28:58 > 0:29:00including this volume.
0:29:00 > 0:29:05On the outside, it doesn't look very special, but inside,
0:29:05 > 0:29:10we've got this mass of vellum or parchment sheets
0:29:10 > 0:29:13and if you look carefully, they're all hand written
0:29:13 > 0:29:18and it is one of the 40 extant manuscript copies
0:29:18 > 0:29:20of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Next door to that is another very rare book.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27This is John Milton's epic poem, Paradise Lost,
0:29:27 > 0:29:30dictated by him as a blind person,
0:29:30 > 0:29:37but ultimately printed in 1667 and this is a first edition.
0:29:37 > 0:29:43Next door to that is an oval sharkskin-covered little box
0:29:43 > 0:29:49and if I open it up, it contains a little silver seal.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Actually, not so little.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54This is a great chunk of silver, like an ingot,
0:29:54 > 0:29:57that dates back to the 12th century,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00to the foundation of the cathedral itself,
0:30:00 > 0:30:05and it depicts the Virgin Mary with a child on her knee.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09And when squashed into liquid-sealing wax,
0:30:09 > 0:30:16you get an image which mirrors this dug out intagliated oval area.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Wow! That's old!
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Meanwhile, back at Grimsthorpe Castle, will our next two teams
0:30:24 > 0:30:26find some old treasures of their own to take to.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Time to meet our next two pairs of Reds and Blues.
0:30:30 > 0:30:36For the Reds, it's husband and wife combo John and Carol.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39And for the Blues, friends Barbara and Christine.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- Welcome to Bargain Hunt!- Thank you. - Nice to see you.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43Now, Carol, how did you two meet?
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Um, at Leicester Top Rank bowling suite.
0:30:47 > 0:30:52- Oh, romantic.- It was.- Yes. Had he taken you out on a date?
0:30:52 > 0:30:55No. No, I'd gone with a friend, and he'd gone with a friend,
0:30:55 > 0:30:59and we were just drinking coffee after our game.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02And some Italians came up to us, started pestering us.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04So, I looked over my shoulder
0:31:04 > 0:31:07and saw this big, strapping chap sitting alongside.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12- So I, sort of went, "Help! Help!" under my breath.- Yes.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- And he stood up and walked over... - Did he?- ..and they skedaddled.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- Oh, how sweet.- Yes.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20And you knew that he was Mr Right from that moment on?
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Actually, pretty much.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24- Yes.- Yes.- Good for you.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26My hero.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28What sort of things do you get up to, Carol?
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Well, we recently bought a caravan,
0:31:30 > 0:31:35- so we are off exploring the UK and Europe at the moment.- Are you?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38We try to get round the world and Europe as much as we can.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Well done. You have picked up quite a few souvenirs in your travels?
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Eh, one or two. Usually bargains.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Try and beat down the local traders.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Is that your speciality, then? - No, but I enjoy it.- Oh, yes?
0:31:49 > 0:31:53When we were in China at the bottom of the Great Wall,
0:31:53 > 0:31:55there was a couple of nice Chinese ladies selling
0:31:55 > 0:31:58a very well-known brand of jacket.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00But they wanted £90.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04- And after about 40 minutes, I got them down to £9.- Oh, ho-ho!
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- Did you really? That was popular then!- Well, absolutely!
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- We had such a good time, they both gave me a cuddle.- Ha!
0:32:10 > 0:32:13There we go. Well, on that happy note, I wish you good luck.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14And now, the Blues.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Now, Barbara, how long have you two known each other?
0:32:17 > 0:32:22We met four years ago on a Nottingham tennis camp,
0:32:22 > 0:32:24because we play wheelchair tennis.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- Do you really?- Yes.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29I've never heard of wheelchair tennis. Tell me about it.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30It's very exciting.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32We have all the same rules and regulations
0:32:32 > 0:32:36as the able-bodied people, but we're allowed two bounces.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- And, Barbara, what do you do for a living?- I'm a neuroscientist.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43So, I do research and I do university teaching.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46And you're particularly interested in the nervous system?
0:32:46 > 0:32:50I am, yes. And particularly as I've got a spinal injury.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- But, of course, there's a lot we don't know.- No, quite.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57- And that's why you're still in the research?- Yes.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Christine, apart from tennis, what other things do you get up to?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Oh, I like flying a plane.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03And tell us about that.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05A friend of mine, he is a qualified pilot
0:33:05 > 0:33:07and he's an instructor.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11He said, "I'll teach you to fly." So, that's what we're doing.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15Very good. And have you any qualifications to bring to the table
0:33:15 > 0:33:17when it comes to antique buying?
0:33:17 > 0:33:19I don't, but Barbara does.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21I see. So, you're going to defer throughout to her?
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- Yes.- Anyway, this is the money moment.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Here comes your £300.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- Thank you.- There you go. You know the rules.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Your experts await, and off you go.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36So, three items and £300, but only one hour in which to find them.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41And it's the Blues and Kate who are first to spot something they like.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Yes, that's rather fun.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Is it is a bulldog or a frog?
0:33:45 > 0:33:50- I can't tell.- Well, the Chinese have what's called Dog of Fos.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55A cross between a dog and almost sort of a dragon-like animal.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58And I think we've got something similar here.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01It's certainly a wild beast, isn't it?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Yes. "Dog of Fo handle. 65."
0:34:03 > 0:34:07They certainly sell well at this auction house that we're going to.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09I think if that came into an auction house,
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- I would put an estimate probably of 30-50 on it.- Right.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18- And it's...- And it's marked at 65. But we could see what he'd do.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- What do you think, Christine? - £50 I think would be the maximum.
0:34:21 > 0:34:26- Yes.- 40, 45 would be better. - Yeah, it would, wouldn't it?
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Let's see what the Reds are up to.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- What have you go there, John? - I've got a flute.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33- A flute?- Who's it by?
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- Does it work?- Sapphire, never heard of them.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37It's a difficult one.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40If it was Boosey & Hawkes, you've got the collectors' market.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- Otherwise, someone buying it for a child.- Yeah.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Probably worth bearing in mind.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47It is worth thinking about.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Both teams have spotted possibilities,
0:34:51 > 0:34:54and Barbara's trying to strike a deal for the Blues.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- We're quite interested in purchasing this walking stick.- Yeah.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- But could you do it for a lower price for us?- Yes.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03What's your best price?
0:35:03 > 0:35:04- Well, what price...?- It's 65.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06You've got 65 on it.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08We're thinking about 40, 45.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- It's got to be 50.- Has it? - Got to be.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14- Tell you what, while we're here... - Yes?
0:35:14 > 0:35:17I've just spotted something, and if we bought two things,
0:35:17 > 0:35:20the gentleman might be able to do better. Can we...?
0:35:20 > 0:35:23I don't know if you're interested in scientific things,
0:35:23 > 0:35:26but there's a nice sundial here, which is quite nice.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- That's very expensive. - The one in the wooden box?- Yes.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32I've always got expensive tastes.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34- It's a compass and a sundial. - Oh, that's very nice.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- Do you want to have a look, Christine?- Please.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39- And then you put that down... - And it all folds away.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40I've got 120.
0:35:40 > 0:35:45And the very best, if you were buying two, I could do it at 80.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48So I'm knocking you £40 off that.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50£40, girls, knocked off.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- £40 off, as well as... - And that one?- That's 50, still 50.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55That's 130 altogether.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57I think you have a chance with that.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- Are you happy with the two? - Yes, I am.- Yes, I certainly am.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- Yeah?- Yes.- OK.- We're all happy.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- I think we've got a deal.- Yes. - Two pieces in one.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- Yeah?- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08Thanks a lot.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13- That was a good tent. - It was VERY good.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16Do you know, you've only had ten minutes,
0:36:16 > 0:36:18and we've got two items, which is fantastic.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- How are you feeling?- Excellent. - Yeah? Pretty confident?
0:36:21 > 0:36:24- Yes. Very confident. - So, shall we have a mosey up here?
0:36:24 > 0:36:28- Yes. I think we're going to win, don't you?- I've got a good feeling.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Well, they're making great progress, and I have a theory
0:36:32 > 0:36:35that these two will make sure nothing misses their eye.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Now, the Reds still haven't bought anything,
0:36:38 > 0:36:41but maybe Carol's about to change all that.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Jonathan, that's the piece I was telling you about.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- OK, do you know what? - I rather like it.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49There's a little chip on the rim.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51It's only tiny. But if you like it...
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- I do really. - You have to buy glass.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54Yes, I do really like it.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57But with the chip in it, I don't know whether I'd want to...
0:36:57 > 0:37:00It's obviously what we're going to make on it.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- So what would you do?- 50.- £50.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- It really is beautiful.- OK.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07What would it be called?
0:37:07 > 0:37:11It's...overlaid glass, it's Victorian.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12They refer to it as Bohemian.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- You get better than that? - What about 45? I think...
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- OK, then, yeah. - 45 is not a lot of money.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Probably the least we could make on that is minus 40, yeah.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Oh, no, you won't fall like that.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29It won't come to that. My feeling, I'll put it on the plate now,
0:37:29 > 0:37:30you might make a fiver.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- You might lose ten out of it.- Hmm.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- Really?- If you like it, somebody will like it.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- OK.- Let's go for it.- Wonderful. Let's go and find the lady.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40So, the Reds have bagged their first item
0:37:40 > 0:37:45and with a little extra bargaining they sealed the deal at £40.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47With Jonathan setting the pace,
0:37:47 > 0:37:50they're onto another item almost straight away.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53It sits into two different markets really, with the Deco lady.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56I'm surprised it's not been bought.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- So am I, actually.- Are you really?
0:37:58 > 0:38:01You said 70. Would you do it at 60?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04It's getting very close to what I paid. Um...
0:38:04 > 0:38:0665 would be my best on that one.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09I know there are treen lovers out there,
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- and that's a nicely made piece. - Absolutely.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- And your best price is?- Really, 65.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17£65. I think, you know, bearing in mind the time,
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- and we've had a good look at it... - Yep.- We'll take it.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- I've just made a decision now.- Yes. Very good.- We'll have a go.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24So, that's two for the Reds
0:38:24 > 0:38:26but are the Blues struggling for their last item?
0:38:26 > 0:38:30Well, it was amazing that they found two pieces so quickly.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34I think they thought it was all going to be like that.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37I think they're finding quite how hard it really is.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Now, this is a really nice piece of Derby porcelain,
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- and I'm just thinking, girls, we are going to Derby...- Yes.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- ..to sell the pieces...- Yes.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54..where it's going to be a good place to sell Derby porcelain.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58- Yes.- This is a really lovely piece. It's Derby at its best, really.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Turn it over and we're got the Derby mark here.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03It's £250.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- Hmm. Shall I just see if it has to be £250?- Yes.- Bear with me.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08- Yes.- Excuse me, madam.
0:39:08 > 0:39:13What can you do on your beautiful Derby plate? Isn't that a lovely one?
0:39:13 > 0:39:15It's beautiful, isn't it? Um...
0:39:15 > 0:39:17We haven't got £250.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20OK. You'll have to have 200 though.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23- OK.- That is really it...- Really?
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- Yeah.- We haven't got 200 either. Have we, girls?- No.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31It's all about time and money, both of which are strictly limited.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Time-wise, I make it nine minutes left to play.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- You like these? - They are quite... Are they heavy?
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- Yeah.- Are they real? - Are they real?
0:39:41 > 0:39:44- Very rough.- Very rough. Ruff-ruff!
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- How much are they? - I want 120.- 120 for them?
0:39:48 > 0:39:52- That's what I want.- Yeah. - I don't think so.- Possibly not.
0:39:52 > 0:39:57Oh, no! Another "no buy". They've got to make their minds up soon.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58And with five minutes to go,
0:39:58 > 0:40:02the Blues are still in the china department!
0:40:02 > 0:40:03That's a little Derby tea bowl...
0:40:03 > 0:40:08- Now, that might be...- It's the puce mark which is about 1780.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12- OK, and more in our price range, I would think.- Yes.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- 75, I think. - Have a look at that, girls.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18I mean, that is a piece of 18th-century porcelain.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21- I- like that. If we could get it a little bit cheaper...
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- Mm-hm.- 60? Do you think that's going down a bit too...?
0:40:24 > 0:40:29- No, I don't. I think 60 would be a fair auction price, in fact.- 58, 60.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- So, if we could get it for 60 or a bit less, to be really cheeky.- Yes.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Why don't you go and see what you can do?
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Have a chat with her.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Obviously, like it very much, but...
0:40:39 > 0:40:42the price isn't quite right.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45- What have I got on it?- 72.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48We're thinking nearer... 50-something.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51How about 60?
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- So, have we got a deal?- I think so. - What do you think, girls?
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- If you're happy.- Yes.- You happy? Are you happy, Barbara?
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- Definitely.- Good.- Yes, yes. - I think we'll take it, please.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Well done, Babs and Christine.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07Now, Carol and John have decided to revisit one of their first options.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10BROKEN WHISTLES
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- It's quite tricky. - I'm sure it plays, really.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15So, how much are we looking at for it?
0:41:15 > 0:41:20- 30.- 30. It was 25 earlier!- You've got to knock me down, ain't you?- Oh!
0:41:20 > 0:41:23- LAUGHTER - Oh, OK. I've seen a film about this!
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- You've got to haggle!- Sorry, I'm new to this. I'm not latching on.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28You've got about a minute.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- 25, go on then, 25.- There we go.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Three items. A minute to spare.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- Job done.- Here you go. Cheers.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38Thank goodness! The Reds have hit the right note at last,
0:41:38 > 0:41:43and so both teams have three promising prospects to their names.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44The shopping is finished.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48That means it's time to spend the leftover lolly on the bonus buy.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50First of all, let's remind ourselves
0:41:50 > 0:41:53what the Reds plucked from the stalls.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56They've gone for a cut-glass vase costing £40,
0:41:56 > 0:42:00a pretty, parquetry tray that set them back a pretty £65,
0:42:00 > 0:42:05and a modern flute in a case that pitched up at £25.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Now, you spent £130, which is vaguely pathetic.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- It is.- Is that the 170 left over? - It is.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17- So, here's £170, Jonathan. - Thank you very much.- Well handled.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20You've got everything to go for, then. Nice lot of money.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Yes. Do you know, I'm feeling pretty confident today.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- I might blow the lot. - Might you? That is exciting.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29I love it when the lot gets blown. Anyway, good luck!
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Let's remind ourselves of what the Blues bought.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34The Blues picked up a walking stick
0:42:34 > 0:42:38decorated with the Dog of Fo. That cost £50,
0:42:38 > 0:42:42but it helped them achieve a favourable price of £80
0:42:42 > 0:42:44on a pocket compass cum sundial.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48And the girls are going to take Derby to Derby,
0:42:48 > 0:42:51thanks to this little bowl that cost them £60.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53You spent £190, wasn't it?
0:42:53 > 0:42:58£190 spent. I'd like £110, please, of leftover lolly to go to Kate.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00- Thank you! - What are going to do with that cash?
0:43:00 > 0:43:03I know exactly what I'm going to get right now.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- Do you?- Hmm, I'm going this way. - She is so decisive.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19Just outside Derby in the village of Mackworth is the Mackworth Hotel,
0:43:19 > 0:43:22which is the venue for Charles Hanson's auctions,
0:43:22 > 0:43:24and here we are with him.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Great seeing you, Tim.
0:43:26 > 0:43:30Very good to see you and lovely to be back in Derbyshire.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Now, Charles - John and Carol.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36Their first item is this little flashed, blue cut-glass vase.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38Yes. It's 1880, I suppose, 1890.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41- That sort of period.- Yes. How much?
0:43:41 > 0:43:45- Between £20 and £30. - OK, fine. £40.- Oh, dear.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47Now, this tray, the next one.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50I think it's very attractive. Not just her, the tray.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54She's obviously a very fine figure, in all her glory,
0:43:54 > 0:43:57with that great Art Deco feel about it.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59- I think it's shed work, don't you?- Yes, yes.
0:43:59 > 0:44:03I mean, this is what a little man did in his shed in the '20s or '30s.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06- But it's unique in that respect.- Absolutely.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08I would suggest between £40 and £50.
0:44:08 > 0:44:12- That's lovely. £65 was paid by Jonathan Pratt.- Right.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14- Yes.- So he rates it.- Good.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17- And then, finally, we've got this magic flute.- Yes.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19Well, it's fairly standard.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21- Yes.- Fairly mundane. In a foam-filled case.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23- Foam-filled.- Yes.- Oh, nylon.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26Nylon-lined, foam-filled.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28- Two a penny.- How many pennies, then?
0:44:28 > 0:44:32Well, Tim, between £25 and £35.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35- Well, that's brilliant, cos £25 is all they paid.- Fine.
0:44:35 > 0:44:36It's all a bit chancy, then.
0:44:36 > 0:44:40So they might need their bonus buy. And let's go and have a look at it.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45- Wow.- Goodness! That is small. - That is small!
0:44:45 > 0:44:48It is 19th-century pinchbeck,
0:44:48 > 0:44:50which is a simulation of gold, essentially.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52And it's a pendant fob seal.
0:44:52 > 0:44:56It would be sort of hanging from a little watch chain.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59And in the seal, at the bottom, you would have had carved
0:44:59 > 0:45:02your family's initials or crest and you would seal your letters with it.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05So, do people just collect these things?
0:45:05 > 0:45:08People do collect them, but there's a cricket interest.
0:45:08 > 0:45:11- I can see that on a shelf somewhere. - Quite expensive at £170.
0:45:11 > 0:45:16- Yeah, you know, I blew £40 on it. - I'm relieved to hear that.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18I thought you were going to say 170.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21I'm impressed, Jonathan. Very impressed.
0:45:21 > 0:45:22- Very good.- Lovely. Good.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25Hang on to that thought. You don't decide now, you decide later.
0:45:25 > 0:45:30But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33Well, that is just so charming, Charles.
0:45:33 > 0:45:36I enjoy this, Tim, greatly. No, I like it very much.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39I love the bat and the stumps and the two bats either side.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41I suggest, Tim,
0:45:41 > 0:45:43today it's going to make between £50-£80, as a guide price.
0:45:43 > 0:45:46- That cunning monkey Jonathan Pratt...- Yes.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49- He found it for £40.- Oh, really? - Yeah, he did.- Good object.
0:45:49 > 0:45:53If they go with it, they'll do the right thing there.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55Brilliant. That's it for the Reds.
0:45:55 > 0:46:00- Fine.- Now for the Blues. Bit of a whacky mixture, isn't it?
0:46:00 > 0:46:02- It is.- Yes, walking cane.
0:46:02 > 0:46:06- Do you like it?- Not much. Is that animal on the end in pain?
0:46:06 > 0:46:08Doesn't look happy to me.
0:46:08 > 0:46:11No. It's been there a while. It's early 20th century.
0:46:11 > 0:46:16- I think it's particularly touristy-made, but it's novel.- Yes.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18And we like novel.
0:46:18 > 0:46:21- So, what's your estimate, Carlos? - Between £40-£60.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23- Great. £50 paid.- Fine.
0:46:23 > 0:46:27Next is the pocket sundial and compass.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30When I first saw it, I thought, "Crikey! It looks to be Regency."
0:46:30 > 0:46:34It's not, and I'm quite happy to preach the fact it's probably...
0:46:34 > 0:46:37- 1920s?- 60, 70 years old. Exactly. 70 years old.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40That's definitely where it dates from. I agree.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43At a push, Tim, it's going to fetch really about £40.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46- About £40. And Kate paid 80. - Oh, dear.- OK, fine.
0:46:46 > 0:46:49And their last item is a Derby tea bowl, Charles.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51It is, Tim. Home sweet home, of course.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54William Dewsbury, the proprietor of Derby, would have
0:46:54 > 0:46:59made this in about 1793-94, back in those glorious years,
0:46:59 > 0:47:01five or six years after the French Revolution.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04- Yes.- So we're talking real history here.- Absolutely.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07- And it's here today. Lovely object.- How much?
0:47:07 > 0:47:10Well, Tim, they are two a penny.
0:47:10 > 0:47:14We see lots of them. Between £20 and £30. It's nothing at all.
0:47:14 > 0:47:16Kate paid £60 for it.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19- Oh, dear me!- I think they're going to need their bonus buy,
0:47:19 > 0:47:22and we'd better go and have a look at it.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25- There he is.- Oh, fantastic!
0:47:25 > 0:47:29- I know you're both quite literary girls, and this is Milton.- Yes.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32- Yes!- And he's titled on the back here, as you can see.
0:47:32 > 0:47:36- It's a good lump of marble and before I drop him...- It's quite heavy.
0:47:36 > 0:47:39- ..I'm going to pass him to Tim. - There.- And how much did you pay?
0:47:39 > 0:47:41I paid 45.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44That's reasonable. And how much do you think it will bring?
0:47:44 > 0:47:48Well, I can see it making quite a bit more actually, with a bit of luck.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51- I would have thought so.- I can. And will the chip make any difference?
0:47:51 > 0:47:55Now, unfortunately, he got bashed in transit.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57I didn't actually buy him like that.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59So that has put a bit of a downer on it.
0:47:59 > 0:48:03But, having said that, I still think at 45, despite the bash,
0:48:03 > 0:48:05- he should do OK.- Yes.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07- I'm pleased with that.- Well done.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09Are you happy? OK.
0:48:09 > 0:48:10- It's a good buy there.- OK.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12Well, that sounds like crackerjack to me.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14Hold on to those thoughts,
0:48:14 > 0:48:17and we'll find out what the auctioneer thinks about the bust.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20It's a dead weight, and one would think marble,
0:48:20 > 0:48:23but I would say it's a reconstituted stone.
0:48:23 > 0:48:24What's that seam running up?
0:48:24 > 0:48:27- It doesn't look like marble. - It's been put together.
0:48:27 > 0:48:31Quite clearly, Tim, it's not very old, is it?
0:48:31 > 0:48:33It must be, what? 50 years old?
0:48:33 > 0:48:36My valuation today on it will be between £40 and £60.
0:48:36 > 0:48:40- Fine. And that's what Kate paid. She paid £45.- Good.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43- So, she paid the right money.- She did.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45How are you today? Are you in good voice?
0:48:45 > 0:48:47Well, Tim, I've got a slight cold.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49So, I'm going to have a hot drink before.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52Have a bit of a gargle. Whisky toddy.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54Yes, get up there and rock'n'roll.
0:48:58 > 0:49:01Now, John and Carol, how are you feeling?
0:49:01 > 0:49:03- Um, excited.- Are you?
0:49:03 > 0:49:06Well, you've waited a long time for this moment,
0:49:06 > 0:49:08for the auction to come around.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10At least it's stuffed with people.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12- It is.- There is a lot of people.
0:49:12 > 0:49:15Charles Hanson's up. Operating like a maverick, as usual.
0:49:15 > 0:49:19So, the blue, flashed-glass fag-holder is coming up next
0:49:19 > 0:49:21and here it comes.
0:49:21 > 0:49:23Number 215.
0:49:23 > 0:49:27We're going to an interesting blue glass vase. There we are.
0:49:27 > 0:49:29Circa 1900.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32Where do we start? I'm bid £15.
0:49:32 > 0:49:36- Not too bad.- At least we've started. - Do I see 18 now? Come on!
0:49:36 > 0:49:38I'll take 16, surely.
0:49:38 > 0:49:4116 and I'm out. At £16.
0:49:41 > 0:49:46I'll take 18. Otherwise 16 there. Thanks for coming.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48It's yours at £16.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51£16 is four shy of 20.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53You are minus £24. The tray...
0:49:53 > 0:49:56we think that's shed work.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59We think that's a man in a shed in the '30s
0:49:59 > 0:50:02doing his little marquetry skills
0:50:02 > 0:50:05that he may have learned at night school, or he may be a cabinetmaker.
0:50:05 > 0:50:09He's just doing it in his shed. Anyway, here it comes.
0:50:09 > 0:50:12216 is a very attractive lady...
0:50:14 > 0:50:16..on the tray. There we are.
0:50:16 > 0:50:18Very finely executed.
0:50:18 > 0:50:23She sits on this tray in different specimen timbers.
0:50:23 > 0:50:27And I am bid £35. Do I see 8?
0:50:27 > 0:50:298? 42?
0:50:29 > 0:50:322, 5, 8, 55.
0:50:32 > 0:50:3465, it'll be yours.
0:50:34 > 0:50:3860 I'm bid. 5. I'm out. You're in.
0:50:38 > 0:50:40At 65 now.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43Do I see 70? Going once, going twice.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46Three times to a lady. It's yours.
0:50:46 > 0:50:49- Good old ginger. - Well done, Jonathan.
0:50:49 > 0:50:51- Good old ginger. - You could buy a shed for that.
0:50:51 > 0:50:55Yeah! Anyway, there we go. No profit, no loss.
0:50:55 > 0:50:59It's wiped its face. That's great. Now, here comes the magic flute.
0:50:59 > 0:51:02217's a very nice, modern, plated flute.
0:51:02 > 0:51:08Boxed and to go. I am bid £20 for it.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11Do I see 2? 20. I'll take 2 now.
0:51:11 > 0:51:14- Come on!- What did we pay?- 25.
0:51:14 > 0:51:15- 2, 4, 6...- Yes!
0:51:15 > 0:51:18The gent in the very nice jacket.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20- Do I see 8 now? 8!- Yes.
0:51:20 > 0:51:2430, 2, 5, 8.
0:51:24 > 0:51:29I'll take 36. 36, 38.
0:51:29 > 0:51:3140.
0:51:31 > 0:51:35At £38. Fair warning. We sell at £38.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37We say, "Sale!"
0:51:37 > 0:51:39- Excellent.- I said I'd win.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41- Is that £38? - I was behind you on that one.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43Is that £38 after all that?
0:51:43 > 0:51:46- Yes. Yes. - That means you're plus 13 on that.
0:51:46 > 0:51:50- OK. Which means, overall, you are minus £11.- Ooh, OK.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52- Hmm.- You're minus £11.
0:51:52 > 0:51:54- We'll go plus on this now. - You reckon?
0:51:54 > 0:51:57- Sorry, it's your decision. - It's your decision.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59Are you going to go with the old bat?
0:51:59 > 0:52:02We think it might bowl over the auction, we'll go for it.
0:52:02 > 0:52:07A delightful, novelty pinchbeck pendant, fob seal.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09- And I've lots of interest here. - Oh, good.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11So, I will start.
0:52:11 > 0:52:18And I shall have to roll up from 55 to 60, to 5, to 70, to 5...
0:52:18 > 0:52:22- Look at this!- To 80. Do I see 5?
0:52:22 > 0:52:2480, takes my underbid.
0:52:24 > 0:52:27All out? On the book we shall sell.
0:52:27 > 0:52:315! Thanks for coming. 90.
0:52:31 > 0:52:335. One more.
0:52:33 > 0:52:35I can't tempt you? One more bid? No?
0:52:35 > 0:52:37- Let's see a century.- 90 all done.
0:52:37 > 0:52:42- Yes.- Fair warning. All out. We shall sell at £90 on the book.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44- Well done.- £90.- Excellent.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46More than they're going to score.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Well, that's brilliant, isn't it? Plus £50.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51- Jonathan, that is phenomenal. - Thank you, Timothy.- Well done.
0:52:51 > 0:52:55I mean, what would that have made in a specialist cricket sale? You know.
0:52:55 > 0:52:58- You never know. - They found it though.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01The collectors found it, which is brilliant. Plus £50,
0:53:01 > 0:53:05minus 11, means you are plus £39. OK?
0:53:05 > 0:53:07- £39 is a result.- Superb.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09- Now, you've clawed it back.- Yes.
0:53:09 > 0:53:11The best thing to do now is not to tell the Blues.
0:53:11 > 0:53:13- No!- No, we won't. No.
0:53:13 > 0:53:15- Good.- Hush, hush. Zipped.
0:53:22 > 0:53:28Now, the first item is, Barbara, your one-piece malacca cane.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30Here it comes.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32235 is being shown by Pat.
0:53:32 > 0:53:37It's a very nice, novelty, fruit wood walking cane,
0:53:37 > 0:53:38and I will start at 30.
0:53:38 > 0:53:41Do I see 2, please? 2, 5, 8.
0:53:41 > 0:53:4442, 5, 8. I'm out.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47Do I see 50 now? Come on!
0:53:47 > 0:53:5050, 5. You're in, sir. 50.

0:54:03 > 0:54:10£52! You've made £2 profit. There's nothing the matter with that.
0:54:10 > 0:54:15My number now, 236, is an attractive compass and sundial.
0:54:15 > 0:54:20Probably only 20th century, but all there. And I am bid 25.

0:55:38 > 0:55:41You have a £2 profit. Now, this could be a winning score, girls.
0:55:41 > 0:55:44This is strategically where it gets interesting.
0:55:44 > 0:55:48You could have a winning score with £2.
0:55:48 > 0:55:52Or you could go with the lookalike marble John Milton.
0:55:52 > 0:55:56So, this is strategic stuff here.
0:55:56 > 0:56:00I don't think it's that strategic, whatever the word is.
0:56:00 > 0:56:01I think we need to go for the bonus.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04Yes. Kate's the expert, so we're trusting her.

0:57:22 > 0:57:26- You been chatting, you lot? - No.- Good. Delighted to hear it.
0:57:26 > 0:57:29So, you have no idea who is marginally in front of whom.
0:57:29 > 0:57:33And the team that's marginally behind today...
0:57:34 > 0:57:36- ..are the Reds.- Oh!- Oh!
0:57:36 > 0:57:39I mean, it's a miserable process, isn't it?
0:57:39 > 0:57:43When there's only £3 between the teams at the end of the day.
0:57:43 > 0:57:46- Three quid!- Here's your £39.
