0:00:04 > 0:00:09Today on Bargain Hunt, the ever-darkening sky is the limit
0:00:09 > 0:00:13for our teams of skydivers and pilots.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16We're almost ready for takeoff, so...
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Let's go bargain hunting, yeah.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47As we know on Bargain Hunt,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50profits can go down as well as up.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54And there is no time more appropriate for this to be
0:00:54 > 0:00:57said than today, on our one-hour special.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01So, let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06It's up, up and away for our pilot Reds.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Is this newish, though, is it? - It is. What's that?
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- Look what we've got here.- Oh, no. Not again. I don't believe it.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17And our skydiving Blues give their expert the run-around.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Tell you what could kick in, that "wood for the trees" panic.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Oh, no, there's so much. - It's happening right now.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26But who will take the ultimate prize at auction?
0:01:26 > 0:01:2962, 65, 68...
0:01:29 > 0:01:30I'm flying high, I'm flying high.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Yes!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43On today's programme, excitingly, we have pilots,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Malcolm and Gregory, for the Reds.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51And for the Blues, we have married couple, Lena and Joey, who are...
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- What are you?- BOTH: Skydivers. - Skydivers!
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Excellent. Hello, everyone.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Very nice to see you.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Malcolm, you run a flying school. - I do.- How did you get into that?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I started off trying to just play with hang gliders
0:02:04 > 0:02:07when I was in the air force, then, someone said, "Why don't you
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- "become an instructor?" - And you set up your own school?
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Set my own school up.- And have you had any scary moments when flying?
0:02:14 > 0:02:19Well, I have once. I asked a student how much fuel we've got left, he told me.
0:02:19 > 0:02:2220 minutes later I asked him again, he told me the same number.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27I looked down and... We run on a sight gauge, where the actual fuel sits in a glass tube.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30He was watching a stain.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33And then about 10 minutes later, on the way back, all went very quiet.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35You can glide down though, can't you?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38You can glide, so I let him do half a landing, then I took over.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42How embarrassing. But anyway, it finished safely, that's the main thing.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Now, Greg, you're also a flying instructor.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47I am a flying instructor. I've got a school at Sandtoft
0:02:47 > 0:02:51and I go down to Darley Moor and also down south to do a bit of instructing.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55And imparting the knowledge to every newcomer must be fun too?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59It is fun, it's definitely exciting when they're trying to kill you all the time.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02You also work as a check pilot, how does that work? How does that figure?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Every year, an aircraft has its MOT
0:03:04 > 0:03:08and then somebody has to jump in it and make sure it's safe to fly.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Well, that's my job, I take it to its limitations, a bank angle,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and also as fast as it needs to go, so there is a velocity you
0:03:15 > 0:03:18never exceed and I have to take it to its velocity...
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Well, that's pretty hairy, isn't it?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Well, I hope you're very well paid for that work. Actually...
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- Totally voluntary, yeah.- Oh, is it?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Anyway. I think you two are going to make an excellent team.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31You're clearly extremely well disciplined
0:03:31 > 0:03:34and we look forward to the result. Anyway, good luck with that.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Now, more hairy stuff, actually.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Lena, skydiving is how you two met. - Yes, it is.- Isn't that fun?
0:03:40 > 0:03:45We met in Portugal, 1998, in Evora, for a World Cup competition
0:03:45 > 0:03:47and Joey was the cute, little American guy,
0:03:47 > 0:03:48and that's where we met.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52And we both won the competition, so it was very successful.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57- Well, what a nice way to meet your man, anyway.- We worked out the rest.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Through this sporting link. Now, you work as a massage therapist
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- and you're also a daredevil. - A little bit.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05So, what do you get up to?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Well, skydiving started when I was 17 years old, which is
0:04:08 > 0:04:10a long time ago.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Then I got into a little bit of base jumping, jumping off cliffs.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Presumably always with a parachute?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Always with a parachute, it's highly recommended,
0:04:19 > 0:04:21always with a parachute. For sure.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Joey, what is your involvement in skydiving?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Well, that's pretty much all I'm involved in.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I started skydiving in 1989,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30while I was serving in the United States Marine Corps.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I got out of the Marine Corps after the first Gulf War.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37I tried to go to college, but I shortly moved to the airport
0:04:37 > 0:04:40and I haven't left. That was 16,000 jumps...
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I have won five world gold medals
0:04:43 > 0:04:45and, between all the different disciplines,
0:04:45 > 0:04:49I have won the US Nationals 18 times over the last 10 years.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Good lord, that's quite something, isn't it?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55It's no wonder you've never moved out of the airport.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58What sort of things do think you might be buying to make a profit today?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I don't think that we're going to buy very expensive things...
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I like retro stuff.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05You like retro stuff, you're going to buy cheap things.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- Spend as little as possible... - BOTH: The Golden Gavel.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Oh, the Golden Gavel. If we can get that, it would be awesome.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- I'll put it next to my world meet model.- Really?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16To go with all your other trophies.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Well, we don't shell out Golden Gavels that often,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I have to tell you. So, that's a good ambition.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Anyway, now the money moment. £300 apiece, you have your £300.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28You know your rules, your experts await and off you go.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32And very, very, very good luck. Stand by for takeoff.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33So, as we take to the fair,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36our teams will be piloted by two class acts.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Rocking and rolling with the Reds is Charles Hanson.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46And orchestrating the Blues' shopping experience is antique
0:05:46 > 0:05:47classicist, Paul Laidlaw.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54OK, wing men, are you ready for takeoff?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Definitely, all ready for it. - OK, flaps down?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Flap's down, chocks away.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Chocks away. But what's the plan? What are we after today?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Well, for me, I like shiny and I'm going to go for something...aviation.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08We've had a bit of strategy, it's summertime, garden stuff, maybe.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Yeah.- Maybe some, you know, kitschy...
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Hipster stuff.- Maybe some glass.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Something with a car in, or aeroplane, or a motorbike,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20and maybe something shiny as well, because we're always suckers for shiny stuff.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- I like your style. Follow me, OK?- Let's do it.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27I've got to say, just one little warning, you guys jump out of perfectly good aircraft...
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- There is no such thing.- For fun!
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I don't think the adrenaline level is going to be quite as high,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34buying antiques.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36That said, if, with one minute to go,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39we've still got to buy something, prepare for the kicking...
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Come on.- Let's go.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43OK, teams, you're cleared for takeoff.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I vote we go...
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- To where the sun is?- We'll go where you go.- Oh, get on with it, chaps.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Let's go this way, yeah. Let's do something in the marquee over here.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Right, they're off.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Carlos and the Reds veer off the runway
0:07:01 > 0:07:04and the Blues jump straight into the goodies on offer.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Ah, this is really hard.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Don't be... I tell you what can kick in, that "wood for the trees" panic.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- The sort of, "Oh, no, there's so much!"- It's happening right now.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Just chill.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Don't panic, Lena.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Paul's right, you've got plenty of time.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22So, Malcolm, ornaments, your sort of thing?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Not china at all, no, it's got to be metal or wood.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Definitely metal or wood.- Fine, OK.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33No to china, but yes to metal or wood. Nice and clear, eh, Carlos?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Look at that...- No.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38This is what I would tend to call... Well, the mark on the back is for
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Meissen. Have you heard of Meissen? - I haven't heard of Meissen. - You haven't heard of Meissen.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45It's nice to handle good things, to get a feel for what we're doing.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- £1,300.- £1,300?
0:07:48 > 0:07:49How much?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51But, just to get you in the mood, gents.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53We start from the top, you know, we fly high
0:07:53 > 0:07:56and then we fly low, but that's a good start.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Hey, we don't want anyone flying low on this show, Carlos.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I'm scared to touch it now.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Huh. You don't need to, Malcolm, you can't afford it anyway.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05So, go and find something you can buy.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Are the Blues being more sensible? - 95...- Goodness gracious.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- That's crazy.- Portmeirion Pottery, it's happening.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15But it's maybe enough money for us at auction.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18At auction, they make about £50 or £60. It's good spot.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- You've got to speculate to accumulate, Lena.- 12...
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- This is our price range, baby.- 12? Yeah, that's true.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27But not with THAT, thank you.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- I've seen something I like, Malcolm.- Have you? It's shiny.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33That.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Be good for covering up... bread loaf.- Wow!
0:08:37 > 0:08:43Oh, no. Do you know, that's shiny and...aviation interest as well.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45There's twin engines as well, that's pretty good.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Has it got twin engines? - Yeah, twin engines.- Is it a jet?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I think that's going to be a jet, 1960s-1970s.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55And, of course, it's chrome plated. What's it purpose?
0:08:55 > 0:08:56- Salt and pepper pot.- Absolutely.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00What you check for, gents, first and foremost, are the blue liners.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02You can see the blue coming through, absolutely.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07They are hopefully in good condition. The enamel label on here would suggest to me it was a little
0:09:07 > 0:09:09souvenir you could have bought from Windsor,
0:09:09 > 0:09:13perhaps back in the 1960s, '50s.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15And you know, gents, it's novel and today, what the
0:09:15 > 0:09:20antique market and collectors like are novel items. What a find.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Well, it just shouted at me.- I can imagine, Malcolm.- It just called.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Off you go, Malcolm. Chase that final call.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28How much would you take for it, though?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- What's on it?- It's £28. 24.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Would you take 20?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- I'll play the game and take 22. - What about 21?
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- 21, so we're not getting it at ours and you're not quite getting it at yours.- Go on, then.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- 21.- Shake her hand.- Thank you very much.- Wow, well played.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- We've got something.- Well played.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I feel like cabin crew here, you know,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53just sort of watching my pilots drive me.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Well, you're definitely flying high now, Carlos.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Well done, Reds, that's the first item
0:09:59 > 0:10:01to tuck into your hand luggage.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- But what are the Blues diving into? - That's kind of a kitschy...- Oh!
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Oh, I kind of like that, actually.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10What period do you think it is...
0:10:10 > 0:10:12About '60s-'70s piece, or later? '60s.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17- There was a lid on the bottom as well.- It must have been rewired, then.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Yeah, well, that's always... - You think it's period?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24I kind of like it. Yeah, I'd buy it for myself.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Excuse me, let me just...
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Would you live with that, guys? - How much was it?
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- If you clean that up...- It's 60, eh? Mm. That's a little hefty.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37You put that in the right sale, I think that's a good buy.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Put it in a general country sale, they could all go...
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- I can give you a good deal on it.- It would probably have to be crazy...
0:10:45 > 0:10:4745.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- I was thinking more like 25.... - Yeah, 28? I'd go to 28.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Could we move it in a city sale... I would take a punt.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Could it be 20 quid, easy money? He's going...
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- 22? 20.- 25.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- 25, it's...- 24.- 24.- 24 to give us a chance of selling it...
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Your guy's a machine, it's like machine-gun fire.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13All right, go for it.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17You've got a deal, folks, you've done it.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Thank you very much, sir.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Thank you. Thank you very much.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I'll take the luck.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25We liked it.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Yes, I do like it a lot.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29And with that, the Blues make their first purchase.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34It's now one-all, and the Reds still seem fascinated with aviation.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Look, a little helicopter. - Is this newish, though, is it?
0:11:37 > 0:11:42It is, that would be 1970s. And look, there's you, Malcolm and me.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46There's your cabin crew, that's me. There's your cabin crew.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Yeah, maybe it's time to do the trolley service, then, Carlos.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Oh, I like the price on this one. - What have you got here?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- What is this, is this a lamp? - It's a lampshade, isn't it?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I think we need to dream a little bigger than a lampshade...
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I agree, Paul, I think you need to work on how much Lena
0:12:04 > 0:12:06is willing to spend.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Look out, here we go again.- What's that?- Look what we've got here.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16- Oh, no. Not again. I don't believe this.- Do the propellers spin?
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- It's a table lighter.- It's a table lighter.- Yeah. And it's chrome plated.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- 1950s-60s.- What's the price on it?
0:12:23 > 0:12:24It doesn't have a price.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- The best price, £80.- £80...
0:12:29 > 0:12:32That model is very, very rare. You won't see another one.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35We like rarity, but it's important to remember
0:12:35 > 0:12:37that in a fairly collective sale, it might just struggle.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Yeah, I think we'll get 10 quid for that.- I'd pay more for that.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42But there's one more thing over here I've seen.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Put that down, let me just show you over here really quickly.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Well, we'll go with the expert.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- Because I just saw this hanging fire...- Oh, that is nice.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Look at that, this is boxed as well.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58It's all complete, although you've got a few tears on the box edging,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01but the actual little fighter is in good condition.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06- What's your best price? - What's on it?- That's £13.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- 65, 65 is on it.- 35.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Oh, my goodness me. 35.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Shall we do it? Let's do it.- Yeah, let's do that.- Are you sure... Yes?
0:13:16 > 0:13:21Let's do it. And then we can look for something non-aviation and more...
0:13:21 > 0:13:25This is our aviation hour, right? And that's two down, one to go.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Shake the man's hand. £35, you're a good man, sir. We'll take it.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Thanks a lot, thank you very much.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34I quite like it.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Well done, chaps, that's the second purchase checked in.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41Meanwhile, I feel the Blues are finding the shopping tough.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Halfway through this exercise now, yeah.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47We need to find something in the next 10 minutes, leaving us
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- a third of the time...all right? - Yeah, yeah. We need to...
0:13:50 > 0:13:52We need to buy something.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56You do. It's time to start being decisive, team.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Right, something to get your temperature rising, take a peek at what I found here.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03This is rather fun, isn't it?
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Just imagine how much work is involved in decorating
0:14:08 > 0:14:11the frame of a thermometer like this.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15What we've got here is a bit of Victorian nonsense.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20It dates from between about 1840 and 1880,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23and whilst everybody says that pietra dura,
0:14:23 > 0:14:25hard stone inlaid work,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28all comes from Italy, is absolutely wrong.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Because here, in Britain, in Derbyshire, based around
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Ashbourne, we have our very own
0:14:34 > 0:14:37hard stone inlaying businesses.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Each of the decorative elements inlaid into the black is
0:14:41 > 0:14:43a different coloured stone,
0:14:43 > 0:14:48which means that the black has to be carved out and then
0:14:48 > 0:14:52individual little pieces of stone inlaid to complete the picture.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56And this is a complicated bit of inlay, believe you me.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Each of the leaves have got several colours
0:14:59 > 0:15:02and the several colours are represented by different stones.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05The leaves are connected by stems and fronds,
0:15:05 > 0:15:10and then we've got the odd flower, like this white jasmine, look.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14And even that's got a red stone in the centre.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15And across the top,
0:15:15 > 0:15:19a spray of delicious smelling lily of the valley.
0:15:19 > 0:15:25These elements contain the focal point, which is a scale, engraved
0:15:25 > 0:15:30in Fahrenheit, upon which is placed a little mercury thermometer.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Not to be outdone, the angular plinth is also inlaid,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36this time with a lovely dog rose, look.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41Pale pink and some buds, and a sort of malachite stem.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Gorgeous.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46The Derbyshire craftsperson who created this put it together,
0:15:46 > 0:15:50because this back slab is one piece
0:15:50 > 0:15:52and then we have a horizontal bead
0:15:52 > 0:15:56and then the angular bit, and then a plinth, and then some block feet.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59So, there are about six elements which have been riveted and jointed.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02And hasn't this survived most beautifully?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05What I like about it is that it will appeal to all sorts.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09On the one hand, some people hate Victorian fussiness.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Well, the design of this thing is really quite modern.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16It's clean in terms of its design and lines,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18no twiddly Victorian bits.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22But on the other hand, it's extremely complicated,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26because the inlay is far from straightforward.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29And visually, it can do nothing but intrigue.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32The next bit of intrigue is, what's it worth?
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Well, you could buy it for £220.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Is that expensive? I don't think so.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43You try and do that inlay for £220.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Back to the shopping and both teams are feeling the heat.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49It's two-one to the Reds,
0:16:49 > 0:16:52so the Blues are really feeling the pressure.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Medina paperweights, that's collectable glass.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56Which one, those two there?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58The sea horses? Kind of like them.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Want to go ask?- Let's ask.- Go ask.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I couldn't find a price on this one.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- The pair for 20.- The pair for 20?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09All right, I'll bring them back. Thank you.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- They'll do the pair for 20. - The pair for 20, huh?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- You're not going to get rich on it.- No?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17You're not going to get overly burnt.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Should we just put them down?- Put them down and keep an eye on them.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- We can always get them later. - One on the side is always useful.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- We need something silver. - We need something!
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I have my eyes on this vase over here.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- This one here.- I like the colour.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Back to Germany, aren't we? 1960s, West German.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43There'll be numbers on the bottom usually, there you go.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Oh, you've got a manufacturer, they seldom make their mark.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- West Germany and it's by, looks like, Scheurich.- Scheurich Ceramic.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Yeah...and a shape number.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Couple of wee chips where it went down heavy.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Mmmm, not helpful but not you could forgive it. Is it dear?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04No...I think we could get it for 14.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06To be honest with you, I get that.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10I'm not a massive fan of these West German studio ceramics
0:18:10 > 0:18:12but I appreciate the market for them.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Books are starting to be written,
0:18:14 > 0:18:16this is the future of collecting, one side of it.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19This one, I've got to say, I like more than most.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20I like the combinations,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23the glazes and more than anything these little swirls are fantastic!
0:18:23 > 0:18:25They're really dynamic, aren't they?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27I do like the pattern and the colour, for sure!
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I like the pattern and the colours.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I've got to say, it would go tremendously well next to your lamp.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34There's a pattern developing.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I get it.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Shall we go check out what we can do?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Can we haggle with you over your pot or not?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Very slightly, yes.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44I get that, I get that. I hear you.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Can we be brutal, the three of us like it and it's difficult
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- to tempt me with such pieces, so you've got something.- Right, OK.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Can I say there's a little chip to the foot.- A little bit.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- There's a couple of chips there at the bottom.- Help us.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- It's on at 20.- Which I don't think is bad.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Absolute best, 15.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06I think that's a good price. I'm just going to wade in and say,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I think it's a good price.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11We would ask for 14, so we have a chance to get the 15 at auction.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- Ooooh!- We're trying to get our Golden Gavel!
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- You know how they go. - You'll get 35 at auction.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20We might do, I hope you're right.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Yeah, we'll do it.- We'll do it.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Brilliant! Thanks for that.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Thank you.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Guys, you did it and you know how you did it?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34You followed your taste.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- The lamp, this, you see the pattern developing?- We do.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Instinct and I'll tell you what, two good things.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Well done, guys, and miraculously, pretty much on schedule.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I was starting to get a little bit of panic there
0:19:47 > 0:19:48but I guess we're all right.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Well done, Blues, second buy in the bag for £15.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Both teams are now looking for their final purchase
0:19:54 > 0:19:59and finally the Reds are looking at a non-aircraft related item.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00Hooray!
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Aren't these nice, guys?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05The market's so buoyant today for Persian, Indian, Chinese,
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Eastern silverware and they just, to me, are quite attractive.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Like them?- Personally, no.- No? Fine.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Co-pilot?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- No.- OK.- It's a bit boring.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20That's OK, cabin crew, sit down, put them back
0:20:20 > 0:20:23and enjoy the flight, thanks.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Where are the emergency exits?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28You crashed and burned with those, Charles.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- I like that table.- You're crazy!
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Now I'm panicking.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Has anyone got a brown paper bag that I can breathe into?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Hey, it's not that bad, Paul.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40You're crazy, baby, you're crazy!
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Well, maybe you're right.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Huh, your thoughts, Paul?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Do you know, I think for people that jump out of perfectly good
0:20:46 > 0:20:49aeroplanes for kicks, I think they're fazed by this!
0:20:49 > 0:20:52I'll tell you, see when they pull that ripcord,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I hope they're more decisive than this!
0:20:55 > 0:21:00Time is fast moving on and Charles is trying to rally his troops.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Gents, we've only got ten minutes to go.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07OK, ten minutes, one of my great loves is pottery and one thing
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I like is that big plate over there.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- Do you like it, first of all? - I think that's quite nice.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Big, chunky plate, let me tell you about it.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I love this because this was made in around 1760.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23So, when you talk hands-on history you just imagine what hands
0:21:23 > 0:21:26have taken, have passed, have caressed this plate
0:21:26 > 0:21:30from the time when King George III came on the throne.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34And it's earthenware body with a white opaque tin glaze
0:21:34 > 0:21:38almost deceived the British public that what was being
0:21:38 > 0:21:42made in London was in fact porcelain, ie
0:21:42 > 0:21:45copying the Chinese, when in fact all it is is a crude
0:21:45 > 0:21:48earthenware, which over the time you can see will chip and crack.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50And I just love that plate.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Why do I like it so much? Because it's a big one.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Probably 14 inches.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58This has been a wall object for a long time, do you reckon?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Yeah. I mean, to some people,
0:22:00 > 0:22:04these metal mounts that you can take off can obviously damage the rim
0:22:04 > 0:22:08by chipping away at the tin glaze because it's a very fragile body.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11But the design captures the passion
0:22:11 > 0:22:16we had as Europeans for the mystical land of the Far East.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Because we didn't know it.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20And what are these at the bottom here?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Could be swans on a lake. I just think it's probably a London piece
0:22:23 > 0:22:27of circa 1760 and if I was putting this into my sale,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30I would guide it between £150-200.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31- Do you like it?- I like it.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33It's quite nice.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36It's something different, it's different...we want to go with
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- something a little bit bigger this time.- A bit bigger, yeah.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42I mustn't sway you because you bought two wonderful aviation
0:22:42 > 0:22:46lots but if I was putting my oar in I would go for that.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- How much would you take for the plate?- £110.- 110.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- I think it's wonderful.- You reckon?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- Yeah, I do.- We'll go with the expert.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55I'd be happy to get it at 110 but it's your call, Greg.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59- Can we get a pound off you? - I'll take a pound off, 109.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01109, that sounds brilliant!
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- And do you like it?- I think it's fantastic, yeah!
0:23:03 > 0:23:05So, are we going, going, gone?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- We're going, going, gone! - Yeah.- Shake the man's hand.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Exactly!- Don't break it.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12That's it then, three down,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- three done, no crash landing, congratulations!- Excellent!
0:23:15 > 0:23:17So, that's it, Reds,
0:23:17 > 0:23:21prepare for landing with your three purchases on board. Well done.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25With only minutes left, the Blues are swimming against the tide,
0:23:25 > 0:23:29but can those dolphin paperweights save them?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31What do you think, Paul?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35My advice is, one of you go back, play it cool and try
0:23:35 > 0:23:38and get them for a tenner because that's what they're worth.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- All right, see you later.- Watch out, Lena.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44If you can't them for a tenner, we'll confer when we catch up.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Run, Lena, run, time's running out.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51- Guys, no?- No, no, no.- OK.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- Are you sure?- Come on, we've got to hurry.- All right.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- We've seen something nicer.- Go, go, go.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59What time is it?
0:23:59 > 0:24:0158.48.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Just over a minute on the clock, team. Come on, go, go, go!
0:24:05 > 0:24:07These adrenaline junkies are wearing me out.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- Sir?- No, lean up. Before we do anything - do you like it?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- Oh, yes, it's great. I like it. - But you've not seen it before.- No.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Are you interested in that? - I am absolutely interested in it.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- I like it just because it's a lamp. - Huh.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- He's asking £15, what do you reckon, Joey?- Seven quid.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Deal?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- And they've done it!- Good. - There we go.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Ha-ha, time's up!
0:24:30 > 0:24:33You won't be surprised to hear I've not done much skydiving,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35but is it anything like this?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- No. No, it's nothing like this. - It's nothing like this.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Okie-doke, you can keep it. Lena, we better tell you what we've bought.
0:24:41 > 0:24:48- Yes.- Now, 1930s-1940s, somewhat novel electric table lamp
0:24:48 > 0:24:52and combination clock by Ferranti, who were a huge corporation
0:24:52 > 0:24:57manufacturing instrumentation and so on. It is in oak laminate.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Will I tell you what I like in particular?
0:24:59 > 0:25:03It's The Roundabout Clock, funnily enough. Absolutely tremendous.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06All patented, good to go...
0:25:06 > 0:25:09That is an uncommon Art Deco object...
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Good find.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15..bought within seconds of the hour.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- I like it!- I like it, too.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- £7. Crazy money. - Especially since we needed it.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- I'm just going to go for a lie down, OK?- I'm right behind you.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26So with three purchases complete,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29the Blues have also finished their shop.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh? Mua-ha-ha...
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Cleared for takeoff, their first purchase was a chrome-plated
0:25:37 > 0:25:40aeroplane cruet set, which cost them £21.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45A dinky die-cast Gloucester javelin fighter plane in original box
0:25:45 > 0:25:48cost them £35.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Finally, they touched down with this English Delft
0:25:51 > 0:25:54blue and white plate for £109.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Well, you zipped through that lot, didn't you?
0:25:57 > 0:25:58It wasn't too bad.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Was it as exciting as taking off and landing?- Definitely nearly.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02- Got the adrenaline up there?- It did.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Which is your favourite? - We've got a little dinky aeroplane.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- That's your favourite?- That's my favourite.- And what about you, Greg?
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- I like the little salt and pepper pot. That's quite nice and useful, so...- OK.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- No. - What's going to?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- I think the plate. Well, we took... - You took the advice. Did you?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- 14 inches, isn't it?- Yeah.- We're talking about a plate here, are we?
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- Yes.- OK, large plate. Very nice. - 1760s, was it? Correct, correct.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Well, there we are. And you spent in toto how much?- 165.- 165.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- I'd like 135 of leftover lolly, please.- Sure you want it?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Yes, I do. Definitely. That goes straight over to Charles Hanson.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36That is for you to find the team's bonus buy
0:26:36 > 0:26:39but for our special programme today, I'm going to give you a further
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- £100, Charles Hanson, and this is for Tim's- Ton. Oh, crikey.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45You have to go off with that extra £100
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- and find an extra bonus buy. - Spend it wisely.- Spend it wisely.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Which Charles always does. Good luck, Charles.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:26:54 > 0:27:01A 1960s chrome-plated retro standard lamp turned them on for £24.
0:27:01 > 0:27:07Another retro item, it's the Sheric ceramic vase which cost them £15.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11And their last purchase was a mid-20th century Ferranti roundabout
0:27:11 > 0:27:16clock for £7. You left at the last minute, didn't you?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- We sure did!- Oh, dear, dear! What do you think this is?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- Well, we tried to make it exciting. - Oh, yeah, yeah.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23It's exciting enough and you spent practically nothing,
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- somebody told me. How much did you spend?- £46.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30That is ridiculous on three items. So I would like 254, please.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- There you go, Tim. - 254. That is a pile of money.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- I don't think I've ever had so much leftover lolly handed back.- Well!
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- Which is your favourite piece?- Ooh, there's a lamp in there.- Is there?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- That's your favourite favourite? - There's two lamps.- Two lamps.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- But the silver lamp. - The silver lamp is just divine.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- OK, we'll run with that. - Yes.- Thank you.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52- That's your favourite favourite. - Yes.- But what's your personal favourite?- The retro silver lamp.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- No.- No.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56What's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- The roundabout clock.- The roundabout clock.- Art Deco.- OK, fine.- Yeah.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Well, with this paltry amount of money spare and a huge amount
0:28:02 > 0:28:06- of leftover lolly, Paul Laidlaw is going to have loads of fun. - Spend it well.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10And today, most especially, because it's a special programme, an extra
0:28:10 > 0:28:14£100 called Tim's Ton for you to buy that extra bonus buy.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Good luck, Paul!
0:28:16 > 0:28:20So how's Carlos getting on finding his team bonus buy?
0:28:20 > 0:28:24I quite like this. My gents are pilots, and I'm the sailor boy.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28And here you've got the sailor's farewell and it's just sweet,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31it's innocent, it's celebrating a view of the cast-iron bridge
0:28:31 > 0:28:35at Sunderland when it was opened in 1793.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39It's a real antique with this wonderfully marbled pink lustre
0:28:39 > 0:28:41ground surrounding the scenic views.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43The problem is it's got some damage.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47You've got the staining on the inside but it's just a big lump and I like it.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51The best price the lady can do for this gorgeous jug is £100.
0:28:51 > 0:28:56I know Mark will say, "Charles, what have you bought THAT for?"
0:28:56 > 0:29:01But as a standout object in the sale room, I think it oozes antique class.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05I'm going to buy it, because to me, it's an investment for a collector.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Well negotiated down from £160.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Now, how will you do with your Tim's Ton, Charles?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13I think we've got to remember I wanted to keep them
0:29:13 > 0:29:19on the antique footing, ie go really old, go back one or 200 years.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20And objects...wow!
0:29:20 > 0:29:25Like this, which I hope - on inspection, and this one does.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30This object is circa 1775-1790.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33I like this because the corners haven't been chipped.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37- It's in good condition. How much is it?- 165.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40It's a margin in it at £100.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45- It's a hard decision but I'll do it for 100. Yes.- Really?- Yes.- Yeah?
0:29:45 > 0:29:50It's wonderful, £100 for a box that oozes 18th-century pedigree.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Malcolm and Gregory are men's men
0:29:52 > 0:29:55and I don't think they are going to be particularly taken by the
0:29:55 > 0:30:00colour pink but I'm the pilot and I'll fly them, solo, if need be.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02It's a great box.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04With Charles' work complete,
0:30:04 > 0:30:07how is Paul getting on with his bonus buy shopping?
0:30:07 > 0:30:12Remember, he had £254 of leftover lolly for his team bonus buy.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14So, what are you thinking, Paul?
0:30:15 > 0:30:21Well, Lena and Joy tried in vain to find a piece of glass and indeed,
0:30:21 > 0:30:26almost bought a pair of late 20th century paperweights.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30With their leftover lolly, I have got them an antique piece of glass.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34English, early 19th century what's called a gimmel flask.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38And that's cost me just £25 and I think it will potentially
0:30:38 > 0:30:41blow their minds because they've got no idea what that is.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44£25 paid, I'm going to squeeze some profit out of that for them. Great.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47So, how do you plan to spend your Tim's Ton, Paul?
0:30:51 > 0:30:53If you're an anorak, as indeed I am, you know
0:30:53 > 0:30:55what's in these without opening up the case.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59It's extremely distinctive, particularly these side closing tabs.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03You've seen plenty of binocular cases in your time, they all look the same, don't they?
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Not these. These are Imperial German, these are First World War.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08And indeed, those are what I wanted to find inside.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12And the truth of the matter is, the leather case is rarer than the binoculars.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14I'll tell you what, Joey was in the Marines, Joey's a
0:31:14 > 0:31:17military man and I think he'd get these.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18Wish me luck.
0:31:18 > 0:31:25- How are you doing? I'm hoping to buy the binoculars.- Erm...
0:31:25 > 0:31:26Yeah, they're all right.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Erm, if I wanted them for myself, they'd be all right
0:31:30 > 0:31:34- but what would buy them, last sale of the day, maybe?- £50.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39- £50 works for me, that's magic.- Cool. - Great stuff, thank you very much.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44I've got to say, I think that's £50 of Tim's Ton well spent,
0:31:44 > 0:31:47I'm happy with that. I think Joey will like it as well.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51I'll be taking a look at these bonus buys later on in the show.
0:31:51 > 0:31:56Now, time for me to head off to London for a little slice of social history.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03Today, I've come to the Geffrye Museum in London,
0:32:03 > 0:32:07which really is a little oasis within the city.
0:32:08 > 0:32:16It traces the development of the English home across four centuries.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21So, if you want to see the differences in taste, style,
0:32:21 > 0:32:25design and, to a degree, human behaviour,
0:32:25 > 0:32:28this is the place to come and see it.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33The museum in Hoxton today is filled with wonderful objects and
0:32:33 > 0:32:37artefacts, but the building itself was home to many, many people,
0:32:37 > 0:32:40often in desperate need of a roof over their heads,
0:32:40 > 0:32:44they owed a vast debt to a kindly benefactor.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Robert Geffrye was a wealthy merchant who was
0:32:47 > 0:32:50born in Cornwall in 1613.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53There's something of the Dick Whittington about him though,
0:32:53 > 0:32:56because he came to London to seek his fortune,
0:32:56 > 0:33:01at which he was successful and he also became Lord Mayor of London.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05He also became master of one of the London Guilds,
0:33:05 > 0:33:08the Company of Ironmongers, and Sheriff of London.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13When he died in 1704, he left money to help the poor and needy,
0:33:13 > 0:33:14here, in the East End.
0:33:14 > 0:33:19His bequest bought the land and paid for the building of 14 almshouses,
0:33:19 > 0:33:23each split into four bedsit-type spaces.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26These almshouses were built to provide shelter
0:33:26 > 0:33:30for poor pensioners living in the area and
0:33:30 > 0:33:36when they were completed in 1715, there was great demand for them.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Just one stipulation though,
0:33:38 > 0:33:43that anybody who lived here had to be of good character.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47Originally, the centrepiece of the building was to be a great hall
0:33:47 > 0:33:48but plans were changed.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52And instead, after a year of the almshouses being open,
0:33:52 > 0:33:55the room was refitted as a chapel.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Residents were obliged to attend services here each week
0:33:59 > 0:34:02or risk being asked to leave.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06And this is how one of the almshouse rooms would have
0:34:06 > 0:34:08looked around about 1880.
0:34:09 > 0:34:14The occupants at this time were paying a rent, so they went
0:34:14 > 0:34:19completely destitute, but they were that sort of lower middle-class
0:34:19 > 0:34:25type who fell in the limbo between being a master and a servant.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28School mistresses, retired nannies,
0:34:28 > 0:34:33that sort of occupant who ticked the box when it came to being
0:34:33 > 0:34:39of good, sound standing but yet hadn't got an enormous amount of cash.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42They came with their own house furnishings,
0:34:42 > 0:34:46hence what's in this room reflects what a person of that standing
0:34:46 > 0:34:50might have had about them in 1880.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53But everything happened in this room, you did your bit
0:34:53 > 0:34:59of cookery at this hob grate, or, more likely, had food sent into you.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03You slept in this room and you did your ablutions
0:35:03 > 0:35:05in that little closet on the side.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Well, Robert Geffrye sure knew how to spend his money well.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12The big question today is,
0:35:12 > 0:35:16will our teams' investments hold up well over at the auction?
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Well, we've trotted down to Lincoln Fair today
0:35:32 > 0:35:36and it's a rare treat to be with Colin Young in the saleroom here.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Thank you very much for having us.
0:35:38 > 0:35:43- No, good to have you back here, Tim. - Now, Malcolm and Gregory went with the aeroplane cruit.- Yup.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46It's chromium plated, I suppose it's '60s, '70s, something like that.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48There is not a lot you can say about that, really, is there?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Will it take off, though?
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- It should do, but I think it's going to be flying fairly low.- How low?
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- Well, maybe £25-£40. - OK, that's fair enough.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00£21 they paid, I think you're going to be jolly lucky to get more than £20 for that.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Now, a Gloster Javelin Dinky toy in its box.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Good thing, the condition of the paintwork is good.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10The box is not too bad, so, £20-£40 is my estimate.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13There is a bit of a renaissance in Dinky Toys, isn't there?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Compared to five or ten years ago.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Yeah, absolutely, I mean, the market for the last
0:36:17 > 0:36:19couple of years has been very, very strong for these.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21You said £20-£30, they paid £35,
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- they might just scrape that, might they?- Yeah.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26We've got the quintessentially typical
0:36:26 > 0:36:31piece of early 18th century ceramics, the tin-glazed plate.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Do you think it's English?
0:36:33 > 0:36:34I do actually, yes.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36It doesn't have that look of being continental,
0:36:36 > 0:36:40whether Dutch or otherwise. I think it probably is an English one.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Date-wise, 1760, 1770.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Well, Charles Hanson's very, very positive about English ceramics.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49He talks about buying a bit of history and a proper antique
0:36:49 > 0:36:50and all this business.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53How is this tin-glazed plate going to do?
0:36:53 > 0:36:57It's only going to do £80-£120, as it would anywhere else in the country.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Well, they paid £109, which may be difficult
0:37:01 > 0:37:06and in fact, there are several difficulties in the items they bought,
0:37:06 > 0:37:10in which case, the excitement may come from the bonus buys,
0:37:10 > 0:37:12so, let's go and have a look at them.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Now, Malcolm, Gregory. This is jolly, isn't it?
0:37:15 > 0:37:20First up is Charles with the team's bonus buy. You gave him £135.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21Charles, what did you find?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Yeah, and I wanted to fly high for you guys.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26I wanted to really hit those dizzy heights and impress you,
0:37:26 > 0:37:29but instead of air, I went to water
0:37:29 > 0:37:33and bought something with a maritime feel. What do you think, Malcolm?
0:37:33 > 0:37:34Just look at that.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- I daren't touch it. - No. Greg, have a handle.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38There we are. This is a wonderful jug.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42It will date to probably around 1800, 1810.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46It's transfer printed and enamelled. It's not in the best of condition.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- Bit cracked.- Yeah, it is cracked.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50We like jugs, though, so they're good.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- It's hideous.- But look at the marbling of the pink lustre.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57- It's not...- Not for you? - Not on my sideboard.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- OK, well, you need to find out how much he spent.- It only cost me £100.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Only?
0:38:03 > 0:38:04Did you say only there?
0:38:04 > 0:38:10OK, well, on that basis, you've got to ask him how much profit it's...
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- How much do you think it'll fly for?- I don't know yet.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16I don't know. The heart sometimes rules the mind,
0:38:16 > 0:38:19but it might make a bit more than £100, but it might not.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- So, it's a real gamble, then? - It's a real gamble, big time
0:38:21 > 0:38:23because I just love it, Malcolm.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25But what does Colin the auctioneer
0:38:25 > 0:38:28think about the Red team's bonus buy?
0:38:28 > 0:38:31OK, now, there we go. What do you think about the Sunderland jug?
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- Well, that's a jug and a half, isn't it?- Good size.- Yeah, it is.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Good thing. You've got this mixture of the transfer printing of all of
0:38:38 > 0:38:41the background and all this sponging and the purple lustre as well.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Again, very much a trademark from the Sunderland factory.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48A perfect one of these, £150, £200, that sort of range, easily.
0:38:48 > 0:38:53But, we've got a very long crack that covers most of the body.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- We go inside and there's another crack.- Yeah, I'm feeling depressed.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58All's not lost, though. We do have an estimate on it.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- Oh, do you? Oh, good. Now, encourage me.- £30 to £50, Tim.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- Oh, I'm feeling depressed again. - Oh, why?- Well, Charles paid £100.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09To wit, you're estimating £30 to £50.
0:39:09 > 0:39:14Now, time to see what the Reds think about Carlos' Tim's Ton purchase.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18You had £100. Reveal all.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20People sometimes call these Battersea,
0:39:20 > 0:39:23but we call them Bilston, and this is pink, Malcolm.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26You've got an obsession for pink, haven't you?
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Well, this, Greg, is a very nice Bilston enamel
0:39:29 > 0:39:34Wolverhampton, West Midland-made patch box, or even snuff box,
0:39:34 > 0:39:38and you open it up like so, and it's just full of 18th-century charm.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41There's pompadour pink grounds, inspired by the French.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44This box would date to around 1780,
0:39:44 > 0:39:49and the reason I like this box is because condition is important
0:39:49 > 0:39:53with enamel on copper and this box is in amazing condition.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56- It's quite heavy.- It suits you. Yeah, do you like it?
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- I don't like the colour, but I do like boxes.- Good.- How much?
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Yeah, how much do you reckon this is worth?
0:40:01 > 0:40:03How much did he spend?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- £100.- £100.- It cost me £100. - How much do you reckon it's worth?
0:40:06 > 0:40:10It could very easily, hand on heart, make £50,
0:40:10 > 0:40:13but sometimes you've got to rejoice at the antique.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- And would it be a ladies' snuffbox? - Well, ladies did take snuff, yes.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Yes, I'd have thought so.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21But also the gentlemen were rather more in touch
0:40:21 > 0:40:23with their feminine side, I think.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24The dandy of the day, you see?
0:40:24 > 0:40:27And he would perfectly happily think that pink is divine
0:40:27 > 0:40:30and would wear the most outrageous clothes.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32I mean, he'd wear a waistcoat and a bow-tie.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38And pink trousers and all the rest of it, and he would not give
0:40:38 > 0:40:41a monkey's what anybody thought about this strutting around.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44He'd have multicoloured glasses and different coloured strings
0:40:44 > 0:40:46and all that kind of thing, and that would just be it.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48So, do you want to buy this?
0:40:49 > 0:40:53You are a salesman, Gregoire. Anyway, we happy, team? Yes?
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- Very happy.- Happy with that? You've got the lowdown.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Right. What does Colin think about the Reds' Tim's Ton?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02Of course, for this special programme, there's Tim's Ton,
0:41:02 > 0:41:07that's the £100 extra bonus buy, and that's what Charles found
0:41:07 > 0:41:12to spend the £100 on, and he did spend the whole of the £100.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16It doesn't quite look £100 to me, but I suppose as estimate of
0:41:16 > 0:41:20£50 to £80 would be appropriate on that, and can he get his £100 back?
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- Yeah, I think anything's possible.- OK, fine.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Well, I had to make my prediction
0:41:24 > 0:41:27as to which I thought was going to make, in proportion,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30the biggest profit, and as they're both £100,
0:41:30 > 0:41:32it's not difficult to do the proportional bit,
0:41:32 > 0:41:36and I went with the enamel box, cos it is in good condition
0:41:36 > 0:41:39and I don't things that have got cracks and all the rest of it.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42And I sincerely hope that that will bring between £100 and £150
0:41:42 > 0:41:46and then we'll feel well and truly vindicated in this little game.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54First up is the retro chromium plated standard lamp
0:41:54 > 0:41:57which takes you back to a groovy age.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59- Circa 1967, I would imagine. - You reckon?
0:41:59 > 0:42:02I have to say, I do quite like it.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04A modern flat could take it perfectly well.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06I think it still works in modern design as well.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08OK, and how much do they want them, Colin?
0:42:08 > 0:42:11I think £30 to £50 would be an appropriate estimate.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Very good, cos it was bought for £24 retail, so that's good.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19- That's not bad.- Next is this West German vase. Do you like that?
0:42:19 > 0:42:20Not a lot, it has to be said.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24I don't think I've ever seen one of them go through and make a profit.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- No, well, it's all down to a price point, really.- Yeah.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29£15 was the price point for this.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31I must admit, I just get the feeling
0:42:31 > 0:42:33that this type of ware is maybe a little bit over-hyped
0:42:33 > 0:42:35as to its desirability
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- and then when you come to sales, the reality soon hits.- OK.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40So, what's the realistic estimate?
0:42:40 > 0:42:42I've put £10 to £20, because that's
0:42:42 > 0:42:44our lowest estimate that we can publish.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Well, on that basis, we won't prod any more.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49And, last of all, we've got the Ferranti roundabout clock.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53- I like that.- You like it?- I do, it's a lot better than the previous lot.
0:42:53 > 0:42:54OK, fine.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Nice little bit of oak, nice design by Ferranti, so £25 to £40.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Very good, well, Paul Laidlaw found that and he paid £7.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05I don't think they're going to make any large losses,
0:43:05 > 0:43:07in which case they may not need their bonus buys,
0:43:07 > 0:43:10but let's go and have a look at them anyway, shall we?
0:43:11 > 0:43:13'Oh, and Lena has a new look.'
0:43:13 > 0:43:16Now, Jerry, Lena, this is exciting.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Double bonus buy time.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22First is the team's bonus buy. You only spent £46.
0:43:22 > 0:43:28You gave Paul Laidlaw £254 to spend. So, Paul, what did you buy?
0:43:29 > 0:43:32- This...- Oh, my God.- Wow.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35- I love it.- You love?- Yeah, we were looking for glass.
0:43:35 > 0:43:36I don't know what it is.
0:43:36 > 0:43:40It's like, are you going to drink out of both things?
0:43:40 > 0:43:43Well, they're termed gimmel flasks,
0:43:43 > 0:43:46and in this instance we have a double gimmel flask.
0:43:46 > 0:43:50The trail decoration is associated with Nailsea at Bristol.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54Date-wise, well, what we didn't buy when we went out was an antique.
0:43:54 > 0:43:56- Yeah.- You didn't buy much, actually.
0:43:58 > 0:44:00I've solved that problem because we've now got an antique,
0:44:00 > 0:44:04- because that will date to the second quarter of the 19th-century.- Wow.
0:44:04 > 0:44:10- If I told you it was £25...- Oh, I love you.- Which is crazy money...
0:44:10 > 0:44:14And I love this. Let's check it out. You really bought it for £25?
0:44:14 > 0:44:17- That was £25.- So, what would they use this for?
0:44:17 > 0:44:20I'm trying to figure out what to do with that. The shape and...
0:44:20 > 0:44:22I don't get it.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25This is a pretty object to buy as a gift.
0:44:25 > 0:44:30- Therein, you would have cordials, liqueurs...- We can use it as a vase.
0:44:30 > 0:44:34- Two flowers.- You could use it as a vase, why not? I mean, there you go.
0:44:34 > 0:44:38You can use it for whatever you like, and for £25, it's £25.
0:44:38 > 0:44:39What do you think it's going to make?
0:44:39 > 0:44:41Even if it is market, that should be £30 to £50 worth,
0:44:41 > 0:44:43so you could double your money on that.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45- Yeah.- All right.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48Now, Colin. Do you like the Blue team's bonus buy?
0:44:49 > 0:44:53So, Colin. The team's bonus buy is the Nailsea double flask.
0:44:53 > 0:44:57- Do you like that? - I do. That's rather nice.
0:44:57 > 0:45:0119th-century. Condition looks to be pretty good all the way through.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04I think in that sort of condition, we've got to be £50 to £80 for it.
0:45:04 > 0:45:05Oh, brilliant.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08Man, £25 paid, so, if the team go with the team's bonus buy,
0:45:08 > 0:45:10they'll do rather well.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14Time to see what the Blues make of their Tim's Ton.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16- This one's for you.- Oh.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19Now...
0:45:19 > 0:45:24- Pretty uninspiring, perhaps. - Spectacles?- But, getting there.
0:45:24 > 0:45:25- Military?- Military, definitely.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29This is First World War, German, and these are Fernglas 08,
0:45:29 > 0:45:33one of the standard army issue binoculars used by imperial
0:45:33 > 0:45:35German forces during the First World War.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38The binoculars are reasonably common. These turn up.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41Cases do not, because, of course, this is perishable. They rot.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44- That's the right case for it. - This is, well, there you have it.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46All the instructions for use.
0:45:46 > 0:45:47- Wow.- Yeah.
0:45:47 > 0:45:52And made by Carl Zeiss of Vienna, pre-eminent, to this day,
0:45:52 > 0:45:54manufacturers of lenses and optical equipment.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57- So, give us the lowdown, then. - I spent half of the budget.
0:45:57 > 0:46:00- That cost me £50.- OK.
0:46:00 > 0:46:05I've seen those north of £80 at auction when they're in a good case.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08- I think you should be in safe territory.- Wow.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10I didn't like it at first, to be perfectly honest, like,
0:46:10 > 0:46:13"Oh, my God. What is it?" But, now, after hearing the story, I'm like,
0:46:13 > 0:46:16"All right, then. That's all good."
0:46:16 > 0:46:20And what does our lovely auctioneer think of this Tim's Ton?
0:46:20 > 0:46:21As you might expect,
0:46:21 > 0:46:25Paul Laidlaw has gone with a World War I collectible, the binoculars.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27How do you rate those, Colin?
0:46:27 > 0:46:30I think, in that sort of condition, original case,
0:46:30 > 0:46:33that's got on be a good £30 to £50, I would've thought.
0:46:33 > 0:46:35OK, well, £50 paid by the Laidlaw,
0:46:35 > 0:46:39and I'm my prediction as to which is going to be Wonnacott's winner,
0:46:39 > 0:46:44which of these two might do better than the other, I've trusted Paul.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47I think that if there's something special about these glasses,
0:46:47 > 0:46:50then that's why he's gone with them, and therefore,
0:46:50 > 0:46:54even though I know nothing about World War I field glasses,
0:46:54 > 0:46:57I'm supporting my man. I'm going with the man not the ball.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59- All right?- Yup.- Can you see a profit?
0:46:59 > 0:47:02- I can, I can see a profit right in the horizon.- Can you?
0:47:02 > 0:47:05- Yeah, I think you'll be fine. - Oh, do you? Well, that's nice.
0:47:05 > 0:47:07You always were a visionary, Colin.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11Now, time to put that vision to the test.
0:47:14 > 0:47:16Malcolm, Gregory, how you feeling?
0:47:16 > 0:47:19- Hmm.- Feeling cool?- Feeling cool, yeah, that's not too bad.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22- All right, fine.- I'm feeling like miracles can happen today.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24- OK, you've got that miracle moment? - Yeah.- We're going to need it.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27Well, we want you to be flying high with this, so,
0:47:27 > 0:47:31the aeroplane cruet set, he's put £25 to £40 on it.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33You paid £21, so he's predicting a profit.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35Which is cool. And here we go.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38Chrome-plated aeroplane cruet set this time,
0:47:38 > 0:47:42lot of commission bids on this. They start at £10 bid. 10, 12, 12 bid.
0:47:42 > 0:47:4715 bid. 18, 18 bid. 20 bid. 22 now. With you. 22 do I see?
0:47:47 > 0:47:5222, 25, 28, 28? Bid 30. 32 now, 32. 35, 38, bid 40, 42?
0:47:52 > 0:47:57£40, standing big, at 40. At 42 is the last call.
0:47:57 > 0:48:02It's a good looking lot. At 40. All done and finished at £40.
0:48:02 > 0:48:08Plus £19, lads. Plus £19. Like shelling peas.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10Now, here comes the Javelin.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13The Gloucester Javelin. It's also got its box to go with it as well.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16£30, anybody? 30.
0:48:16 > 0:48:1820, if you like, then. £20, anybody? 20.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20Well, I'll go to all my commission bids then,
0:48:20 > 0:48:24which start at 12 bid, 15 bid, 18 bid. At 18 bid, 20.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26Ought to be a fraction more than this, surely.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29At 18 bid, any more now at 18, for the Gloucester Javelin?
0:48:29 > 0:48:32Selling, then, at £18.
0:48:33 > 0:48:38That is minus £17, which means overall, you are plus two.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41Look out, lads. Now, here comes the plate.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44English Delft plate, there we go. Very nice piece of Delft.
0:48:44 > 0:48:48- Who's going to start me at 150 for it? 150.- It's a really good plate.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50Start at £100 for it. 100.
0:48:50 > 0:48:5450 to go then, surely. £50, anybody?
0:48:54 > 0:48:59At £50, bid, 5 now, 55, 60, 60 bid, 65, bid, 70. At 70, bid, 5.
0:48:59 > 0:49:0575, bid. 75, 80, on the net, 85, 90 now. 85, any more bids now?
0:49:05 > 0:49:08Go on! Come on.
0:49:08 > 0:49:1490, back in the room. At 90, 95 on the net, 95, 100, 110 now, 110 bid.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17At 110. 20 now.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19Let's go! Make a name!
0:49:19 > 0:49:22Last call at 110, 15 I'm asking. Selling at £110.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24Listen, you've got a pound.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27You had the £2 profit before, you've got plus three!
0:49:29 > 0:49:30Now, what are you going to do?
0:49:30 > 0:49:33You going to do the Sunderland pottery jug for £100
0:49:33 > 0:49:35or are you going to do the patch box for £100?
0:49:35 > 0:49:37- We'll go for the pink box. - You going to do it?- Yeah.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39You're going to go with the pink box? OK, great.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41This is your choice.
0:49:41 > 0:49:44First, though, we're going to sell the rejected bonus buy,
0:49:44 > 0:49:47that's the team's bonus buy, just to see what happens,
0:49:47 > 0:49:51and then we're going to move on to Tim's Ton, the extra bonus buy.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54First up, though, is the team's bonus buy which has been rejected
0:49:54 > 0:49:56but let's see what it makes. Here it comes.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59Early 19th-century Sunderland lustre pottery jug.
0:49:59 > 0:50:04There we go, very sizeable one, this. 22cm high. £50, anyone? 50?
0:50:04 > 0:50:0640 to go then, surely. £40.
0:50:06 > 0:50:11Highlighting 19th-century industry there. 40. £40 big, thank you.
0:50:11 > 0:50:1640 bid, 5 now, 45 bid. 50, 50 bid. 55 bid. 60 now. At 60, 60 and 5.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19At 60 bid, 5, surely, at £60. Are we all done?
0:50:19 > 0:50:21And 5, now at 65, I'll take 5.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24It's on the book, I'm selling this time then at £60.
0:50:24 > 0:50:27£60 is minus £40 and you rejected it,
0:50:27 > 0:50:30so what the difference, but there we go.
0:50:30 > 0:50:34This is the 18-century Bilston Staffordshire enamel patch box,
0:50:34 > 0:50:39nicely decorated, this one. Start me at 50, 30, who's first at 30?
0:50:39 > 0:50:43£30 bid. At 30, bid from Australia, 35. 40 surely.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46We ought to be well over 100. Any more now?
0:50:46 > 0:50:52At 35, bid, 40, 40, bid, 5, 45 bid, 50 bid, 5, 55, 60 do I see,
0:50:52 > 0:50:5560 bid and 5, 65, 65 bid, 70 now.
0:50:55 > 0:50:56Come on, internet.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01Wonderful box.
0:51:01 > 0:51:04I knew there should be something there. Gut instinct. 70, 75.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06It's a gorgeous box in exquisite condition.
0:51:06 > 0:51:0975 bid, back in the room, at 75.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11At 75, 78 is a last call, offer of a mate.
0:51:11 > 0:51:16At £75 in the middle of the room there. I'm selling at £75.
0:51:17 > 0:51:2375 is minus 25 which means overall, you are minus 22.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26That's a disappointing result, chaps.
0:51:26 > 0:51:27- Everybody happy?- Indeed. - Yeah.- Indeed.
0:51:27 > 0:51:31OK, say not a word to the Blues, and that could be a winning score,
0:51:31 > 0:51:33very easily, minus 22.
0:51:33 > 0:51:3695 in the room, at 95...
0:51:42 > 0:51:46- Jerry, Lena, do you know how the Reds got on?- I have no clue.
0:51:46 > 0:51:49Good. You've got the retro lamp standard which you spent £24 on.
0:51:49 > 0:51:53£30 to £50 is his estimate. He loves it too.
0:51:53 > 0:51:54- So that's cool.- Yes!
0:51:54 > 0:51:55And here it comes.
0:51:55 > 0:51:58There we go, retro standard lamp, great looking thing. Start me at £50.
0:51:58 > 0:52:0220 to go then, £20, who's first in at 20? 10, if you like.
0:52:02 > 0:52:0410, who's first in at 10?
0:52:04 > 0:52:09£10. 10 bid, 12, there's the net coming back, 15 bid, 18, bid.
0:52:09 > 0:52:12£20 a bid now, 20 surely. 20 bid. 22, 22.
0:52:12 > 0:52:165 bid now, 25, 28, 28, bid, 30 now. £30 bid.
0:52:16 > 0:52:2030, ought to be double, really. 32, 35 next. It holds more than one bulb.
0:52:20 > 0:52:25- Come on, the net.- 35, 38. 38, bid 40 now. 38, bid 40, do I see?
0:52:25 > 0:52:26Now 40, 42?
0:52:26 > 0:52:3042 now. 42. 45 now. Do I see 45?
0:52:30 > 0:52:3445. 45, 48, they've obviously done a switch of foot.
0:52:34 > 0:52:36- You've doubled your money.- Yes!
0:52:36 > 0:52:4148, more than one bidder on here, 48, all done at £48. And 50, fresh blood.
0:52:41 > 0:52:4855, now, do I see? 55? Bid 60, 60 and 5 there. 65, surely. 65 do I see?

0:54:29 > 0:54:31- Do you think you're going to go with either or?- Oh, yeah.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34For sure, we're going to go with... I want both, I love both.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36Well, you can't have both.
0:54:36 > 0:54:37You have to have one or the other.
0:54:37 > 0:54:40- Binoculars? - You paid £50 for the binoculars.

0:54:44 > 0:54:47OK, fine, but we're going to sell the gimmel flask anyway.
0:54:47 > 0:54:48It's going to come up first.
0:54:48 > 0:54:51So whether it makes a profit or a loss makes no difference to you
0:54:51 > 0:54:53cos it's not your pick, but let's see what happens.
0:54:53 > 0:54:57The Nailsea double gimmel flask, start me at £50 for it. £50, anybody?

0:55:20 > 0:55:23Plus 20, but it's sadly not going our way.
0:55:23 > 0:55:26But that profit will be going to charity.
0:55:26 > 0:55:28Next up, it's the binoculars.
0:55:28 > 0:55:30This is the Fernglas 08 binoculars,

0:56:05 > 0:56:12£45 is minus £5, which means you guys are plus £51.
0:56:12 > 0:56:14- No shame in that. - Not at all.- Well done.
0:56:14 > 0:56:18Plus £51, that's marvellous. Could be a winning score.
0:56:18 > 0:56:19Oh, isn't that sweet?
0:56:19 > 0:56:22You'll have to do it again now, cos they need a close-up.
0:56:22 > 0:56:26- Oh, there's a close-up.- Good job. - Let's not get too carried away.
0:56:26 > 0:56:28Anyway, should be a winning score.
0:56:28 > 0:56:31Don't say a word to the Reds and all will be revealed in a moment.
0:56:31 > 0:56:34- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - Thank you, Lena. Thank you, Gerry.
0:56:35 > 0:56:3712 bid, 15 bid...
0:56:44 > 0:56:45Well, well, well.
0:56:46 > 0:56:49Pilots versus skydivers, eh?
0:56:49 > 0:56:51Awful lot of competition going on here.
0:56:51 > 0:56:54A lot riding on this when it comes to reputations, right, lads?
0:56:54 > 0:56:55Very much so.
0:56:55 > 0:56:58Have you been chatting about the scores, you Reds and Blues?
0:56:58 > 0:57:00- No.- Not been chatting about the score? OK, fine.
0:57:00 > 0:57:03So, it will come as a complete surprise
0:57:03 > 0:57:05because we're about to come in to land
0:57:05 > 0:57:10and the team that is behind, only marginally, are the Reds.
0:57:10 > 0:57:12Aw!
0:57:12 > 0:57:16- Started out so beautifully, pilots, didn't it?- Yes.- But there we are.
0:57:16 > 0:57:18We're either sportsmen and we're British and we walk tall,
0:57:18 > 0:57:21in which case we're very, very happy with whatever life throws at us.
0:57:21 > 0:57:25- Is that the case? - That's it, yeah.- Not really.
0:57:25 > 0:57:28No, actually you've been great players, and thank you very much.
0:57:28 > 0:57:31It is disappointing sometimes. The spin of the dice with all of this.
0:57:31 > 0:57:33Anyway, you've been brilliant.
0:57:33 > 0:57:34Thank you very much for coming
0:57:34 > 0:57:37and playing on our special programme, but the victors today,
0:57:37 > 0:57:41who are going home with folding cash, they're going home with £51.
0:57:41 > 0:57:44There we go, guys. £51.
0:57:44 > 0:57:48You got three profits in a row, earns you the right to join
0:57:48 > 0:57:51the ancient order of the Golden Gavellers.
0:57:51 > 0:57:54So, it's a great pleasure for me to give you your little badge
0:57:54 > 0:57:57to wear with pride next time you go up in the sky.
0:57:57 > 0:58:01I expect to see this falling to the ground very, very quickly.
0:58:01 > 0:58:05- Anyway, good fun, hey?- Yes, very much.- Well, very much for us.
0:58:05 > 0:58:10The only thing that you failed to do was to spot the correct bonus buy.
0:58:10 > 0:58:13And in fact, the team's bonus buy was the one that made
0:58:13 > 0:58:16the £20 profit, the £20 that I've got here.
0:58:16 > 0:58:19That profit will be donated to charity in due course.
0:58:19 > 0:58:23So, Paul, congratulations on a great find there. A profitable find.
0:58:23 > 0:58:25Sadly, you didn't pick it. At least, the team didn't pick it,
0:58:25 > 0:58:27but nevertheless, the profit is the profit
0:58:27 > 0:58:30and that will go to charity, so thank you very much, Paul.
0:58:30 > 0:58:32In fact, it's a win-win-win situation today.
0:58:32 > 0:58:35Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:58:35 > 0:58:36ALL: Yeah!
