On today's hour-long special, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:07 | |
our teams include two lots of hairstylists. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:13 | |
So, will today be their crowning glory | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
or will they simply curl up and die? | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
There's only one way to find out. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
Get out from under the dryer and let's go bargain hunting! Yeah! | 0:00:21 | 0:00:26 | |
We've come to the Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
for today's action-packed programme. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
Nothing's going to be cut. Oh, no. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
We've tweaked the format | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
so that you get even more of the Bargain Hunt you know and love. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:04 | |
Right now, though, let's have a quick squint as to what's coming up. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
On today's show, we have plenty of highlights. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
The Reds work out on the shop. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
Yeah, I'm not sure about this one. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
-How are your abs? Are they firming up as we speak? -They are. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
While the Blues have buckets of fun. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
-Quite fetching, you know. -You like? | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
Another helmet here. This one fits much better! | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
THEY ALL LAUGH | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
What do you think? So much better! | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
But who will take the winning crown at auction? | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
-Yeah. -Yes. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
£28. £30. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Oooh! | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
Let's meet today's teams. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
Today, our teams are a cut above the rest. Ha! | 0:01:45 | 0:01:50 | |
Because we have a team of barbers, Ash and Sam, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
versus a team of hairdressers, Jess and Colleen. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
-Hello, everyone. -ALL: -Hello! -Hello! Hello. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
Now, Ash, how was it that you two became friends? | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
We work in the same salon. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
So, we do a lot of work together | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
-and we've just become close doing a lot of hair work. -Mm-hm. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
We do a lot of photographic work and stage work together, so... | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
-Stage work! -Yeah. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
Who comes to watch on stage? Student barbers and hairdressers? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
Yeah, just hairdressers of every level. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
Well, the marvellous thing about barbering and hairdressing | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
is that everybody's hair is going to grow at a rate of what? | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
-Half an inch a month. -Half an inch a... Is that all? | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
-Pretty much. -Really? OK, fine. But it's all going to grow, isn't it? | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
-It's going to grow. -That's great for business. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
-Now, Ash, you're a rising star in the hairdressing world. -I am, yes. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
I won an award last year, Best Stylist, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
gave to me from the Fellowship of British Hairdressing. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
-In Britain? -Oh, I wish! -THEY LAUGH | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
-In the future. -Yeah. Maybe, like you said, a future rising star. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
So, where was the competition held, then? | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
It was all throughout the year, actually, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:51 | |
and I was judged throughout the year, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
and then it was gave to me at the Grosvenor House in London. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
-So, it was a little posh do. -That's very posh, isn't it? | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
-It was very posh, yes. -Yeah. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
Now, Sam, do you prefer cutting or showing? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
I like both, actually. I like doing the cut and then showing it after. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
Now, tell me, I'm intrigued by your hairdo, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
because how do you get this bouffant look | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
where there's so much in the middle and so little on the sides? | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
Well, Ash does the sides, takes them off nice and short, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
and then a lot of back-combing and half a can of hairspray. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
And do you put... Hairspray, is it? | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
It's not, kind of, egg yolk and a whole load of mixtures like that? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
-No. Just hairspray. -Is it? -There's a little hole in the ozone layer above my house. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-I must say, it looks absolutely fantastic. -Thank you. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
-Well, good luck, chaps. -Thank you. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
-Meanwhile, for the girls, Jess. -Hi. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
Your friendship goes back a long way, doesn't it, with Colleen? | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
-Yep. -Tell us about that. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
Well, I met Colleen, oh, God, about 25 years ago, wasn't it? | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
-Even though I don't look old enough, do I? -I know. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
-You were three at the time. -I was. Only just out of nappies. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
-Exactly. Not in your long trousers, even. -No. -No. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
-I met her in... -That's cool. -Yeah. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
No, in the little local village, actually. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
-And I went on to marry her brother. -Oh, I see! | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
-How lovely is that? -So, we're sister-in-laws. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
-So there really is a strong connection there. -Yeah, yeah. -Well, that's absolutely super. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
So, when you're not together, what do you get up to, Jess? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
I've got lots of animals. So I spend all my time with my animals, really. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
I've got horses, dogs... | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
Do your children go in for these animals too? | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
-My daughter's big into showing, so we show here at the Royal Welsh Show. -Oh, do you? -Every July. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
-Now, Colleen. -Yes? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
Jess obviously loves working with you. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Tell me a bit more about your business. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
Well, I've actually got a hair and beauty salon, | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
and then at the very front of the shop, | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
we have clothes and shoes and all, like, ladies' accessories, | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
and we make our own jewellery | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
and we make our own hair accessories as well. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
-Oh, do you? -And so, between that and doing the hair and beauty, we're very busy. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
Sounds more like a hobby than a business. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
-Is it like that, your business? -Yeah. I've done it for 30 years. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
So, you've got to love it to stay there for 30 years | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
doing hairdressing, haven't you, really, and beauty? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
But, yeah, I ended up doing the clothes and all the bits and bobs, the extra bits, yeah. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
And what about weddings? Do you like doing wedding hairdressing? | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
No! We don't do brides! They're nightmares! | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Are they? Oh, right. They're not good? | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
-Well, they're... -They're fussy, I suppose? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
-They moan and groan and want to look too beautiful, don't they? -Yeah. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
Now, you two being such great mates, | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
this shopping today is going to be no problem, right? | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-No problem? -Hopefully. -Hopefully not. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
-Mmm. In unison, "Hopefully not." -We do like to disagree sometimes. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
-Oh, do you? -Mmm. -We don't know that much, really. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
-It doesn't matter, though, does it? -Oh, we'll have a bit of fun. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
Just like the boys are here for a bit of fun. Which is great. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
-Now, here comes your £300. -Thank you very much. -£300 apiece. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
You know the rules. Your experts await, and off you go! | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
And very, very, very good luck. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
Do you think I could have a haircut like that? | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
Now, let's meet our experts. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
A good head on wise shoulders, Caroline Hawley, | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
will be assisting the Reds. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
And ready to bail out the Blues is Colin Young. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
-Ready to go? -Absolutely. -Yeah, definitely. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
What are your plans for today? What are you looking for, both of you? | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
-Thinking vintage. -Yeah. -A bit quirky. -Bit quirky. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
-Are you looking forward to this? -Oh, yeah! | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
-Yeah? Have you got a plan? -No, not really. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
-Just go for whatever we like, really. -OK. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
-Something that will appeal to the mass market... -Right. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
-..at a good price. -A good... Right. No pressure, then. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
-No pressure. -No pressure. -OK. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
-It's got to jump out at us and say, "Buy me!" -"Buy me"? -Biggest loss! | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
Biggest loss? We're here to make profit! | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
-Let's see what we can find. Come on. -OK. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
Right, teams. Your 60 minutes starts now. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
Start shopping. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:21 | |
SHE BLOWS HORN | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
-Nearly! -SHE LAUGHS | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
-How much is on it? -45 quid. I like these. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
-Well, it works, doesn't it? -Quirky. I like the hunting horn. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:32 | |
So, like the Reds, the Blues also favour the quirky approach. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
But do the Reds need to exercise some restraint? | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
This exercise bike is extraordinary, isn't it? Yeah. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:43 | |
-Oh, is that what it is? -Yeah. Do you want a go? | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
-THEY LAUGH -Go on! Go on, son. Get on it. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
Look at that! | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
-I can't believe I'm doing this on TV! -How good is that? | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
Yeah. I'm not sure about this one. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
How are your abs? Are they firming up as we speak? | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
They are firm. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
-How much is this fine thing? -Well, it could be 40 quid. > | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
-40 quid! -And I'm sure it's quirky enough to make a profit. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
-It's definitely quirky. -It's a good price for what it is. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
So, Sam, 40 quid. What do you think of it? | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
Uh, it's different. It's quirky. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
I think if you can manage to walk round the rest of the fair, | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
we'll maybe think about it and come back? | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
-Yeah, OK. -OK? -Yeah. -I agree. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
Right, release yourself, Sam, and let's go. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
-Yes! -Do you need a hand? -THEY ALL LAUGH | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
After that mini workout with Instructor Caroline, | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
the boys are off to see more of the fair. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
Meanwhile, the Blues home in on head gear. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
I like this. What do you think? | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
Well, if you want a tin helmet, it's all right, I suppose! | 0:07:39 | 0:07:43 | |
-"Oh, it suits you, sir!" -I love it, I do. I love it. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
-I think the problem is it's the wrong way round. -Oh, is it? | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
-'Oh, Lord!' -Yeah. -Like this. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
That's it. That's a little bit better. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
You like? You like? | 0:07:52 | 0:07:53 | |
-My brain in there! -It obviously works all right, doesn't it? | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
I like that. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
-No, go on. -I think Colin should see what it looks like on. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
-OK. -Oh, you've got a massive head. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
Ooh. Yeah, I think I've got a problem there. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
It's more a sort of ten-gallon hat on a two-pint head, isn't it? | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
It's good. I like. But we'll have a look around. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
We haven't got much time, so... | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
-What's the lowest? -What's the lowest you'd do? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
About 5'1", in my case. What was your lowest? | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
-£65, ladies. -OK, we'll think about a maybe, maybe come back. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
We're literally the first one, so we'll go and have a look and see. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
-You're on your hour race, are you? -Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK? | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
-60 quid and you can come back to it. -Great. Thank you! | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
-Straight in. Let's put it on the mental shopping list. -We'll come back. -OK. -Thank you. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
It's got age, it's a little bit... | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
Ha ha! Customers! | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
We've got another helmet here! This one fits much better! | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
-THEY LAUGH -What do you think? | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
-So much better! -That one might fit me. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
You watch out, Colin. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
I think this pair are going to keep you on your toes. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
Now, how are the Reds getting on? | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
-That's a jewellery box. -OK. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
-You were asking about jewellery boxes, weren't you? -I was. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
And this... Yeah. It's quite a nice thing. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
-It IS a nice thing. -And it's not a lot of money, is it? -No. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
-£18. -It's got a little bit of damage there, hasn't it? | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
Oh, yeah, it has. I think we need to stay away from damage. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
-I agree. -Do you? -Definitely. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
Yes, Caroline, the only damage we want round here | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
is to the teams' budgets. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
Meanwhile, the Blues aren't having any luck either. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
On furniture, you really want to be looking at things | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
that are small, sweet and decorative rather than... | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
-What about suitcases? -No. -Erm...no. There'll be plenty... | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
These girls sure know what they like. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
Waiting for something to jump out. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
-Sorry? -I'm waiting for something to jump out. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
Something to jump out and grab you? | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
Keep hunting, Reds. It will, given time. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
Seems the Blues are finding things just as tough. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
Is it happening for you? Nope. Not happening. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
-Colin? -Yeah? -What about this? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
Well, the reel-to-reel ones don't cost much in the first place, | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
even though they look great. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
It's not worth it. It's not worth it, by the sounds of it. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
I want something different, and that helmet WAS different. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
I liked that helmet. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
Would you say that mannequin piece is modern or old or...? | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
I think it looks quite modern. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
It is very different, yeah. I can see that hanging somewhere unusual. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:23 | |
Good "armless" fun, Caroline. Now, what have the Blues stumbled across? | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
-That's a nice mahogany one. -£65, a games box. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
-Worth it, not? -It's not bad, actually. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
-£65. -But do you think that green thing - it's a bit new, isn't it? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
Oh, it is. That's a replacement, yeah. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
Basically, mahogany interior, good rosewood outside, | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
priced at £65 is good. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
If you can get that bought for around the sort of £40, £45 mark... | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
-It's worth a go? -..then it's worth a go, yeah, absolutely. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
-What do you think, Jess? -But do you like it? | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
I don't MIND it. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
It wouldn't be something I had in my house, but other people, maybe. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
I DID like that helmet. I keep going back to that. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
OK, well, we've got two things. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
-Let's keep it in that mental shopping list, and... -Yeah. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
I don't mind waiting until the last minute to go back and get them all. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
Assuming they're still going to be there, Jess. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
It's funny, actually. When you really start looking... | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
Like, if you glance, you're like, "Oh, that's nice," | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
but when you really think about it, if it's going to... | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
Yeah, it's got to be nice enough to sell for a profit. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
Two people have to want it. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
This shopping lark is never as easy as you might think. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
With both teams struggling to find a first purchase, | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
Colin wants a chat with the Blues. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
You're getting a bit of nerves on this? | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
-Yeah. I need to buy! -You need to buy? -Yeah. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
-You're in that mood? -Yeah. -It's always the same with Colleen! | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
-THEY LAUGH -Spend, spend, spend! | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
-No, I think we do. -Wind her in, wind her in. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
OK. What do we want, then? | 0:11:42 | 0:11:43 | |
Out of the two we've got, do you want one or two of the things? | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
-One. -I'm going to leave it up to you. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:47 | |
I think the helmet's quirkier. And we said we were going for quirky. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
-Is it the one? -Oh, I don't know. Is it the one? | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
Do you think it's worth a bit of a... Do you think it's good? | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
Uh, sorry, I was casting away there for a moment. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
Is there a decision there? | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
-Help! -Let's go for it. Let's go and buy that helmet. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
At last! A decision made. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
-Hiya. -WOMAN: Hiya. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
-That's a nice sifter spoon. -Yeah. It is a nice spoon. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
What would you sift through it? | 0:12:12 | 0:12:13 | |
What do you think you would sift through it? | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
-Tea? -No. -I was going to say tea. -No, think again. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:18 | |
-No, think again. -Uh, coffee? No. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
-THEY LAUGH -No! | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
I don't drink coffee, but you don't sift coffee, do you? | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
No. Oh, dear. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
-It's a SUGAR sifter! -Oh. -Oh. OK. -Oh, OK. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
-Hi there. > -£160. Hello. Good morning. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
We're just looking at your sifter spoon here. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
It's London. I can't rememb... | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
Tell you the truth, you have a look at it and tell... | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
..let your expert tell you what it is, if you can. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
-Now, look. How nice is that? It's in very good condition. -Yeah. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:49 | |
And if we have a look at the marks, | 0:12:49 | 0:12:50 | |
this is a full set of hallmarks to tell you that it's solid silver. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
So, we've got the leopard's head here, which tells you it's London, | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
the lion mark, which tells you it's sterling silver. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
There's a date letter here, | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
which will date it into the Victorian period, | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
-and then we've got Queen Victoria's head. -Oh. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
And the million-dollar - which I hope it's not - question is, | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
what price is this fine thing, please? | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
I was asking £60, but seeing it's you, you can have it for £45. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:18 | |
-I think it's a nice piece. -It is pretty. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
Do you think they're doing well? | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
-Silver is doing well. Yes. -Always sells well. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
It's always popular. That would make a nice wedding present. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
-Could you do any better on that one? -Maybe £35? | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
-OK, for you, £35 is OK. Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
-Brilliant. We have a piece. -Our first buy! | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
-Our first buy! -Yes, we have a piece. Our first buy. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
Well done, Reds. The first purchase made. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
With time fast ticking by, the Blues charge into action. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
Where's that helmet stall? | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
So, which way was it? Which way was it? | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
That way! That way! That way! | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
-Oh! -It's there, it's there! Ha! | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
-Can we, can we, can we?! -< Best price was £55. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
-So, £50! -Is not £55. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
Please?! Very pretty please? | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
It's very polite of you, but it's going to be £55. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
-What do you think? -Where's he gone? | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
-Mr Colin? -What do you think? | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
-Erm... -Mr Colin's found another one. How much is that one? | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
This one's priced at £28. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
-So... -So, you've got £55 on that one. -Yeah, yeah. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
If we bought the two, what would you do that one for? | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
-Yeah. -What do you think? > | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
Would you sell it as a job lot or sell them individual? | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
-Is it two things? -Well, let's see what the deal comes out at. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
< I could do the two for £75. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
OK, so, if you've got the choice of going for the two at £75 | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
or just that one at £55... | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
-Go for the both. -No, I'd go for that one. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
-Go for this one? -I don't think that's going to add anything to the lot... | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
< Would you mind leaving my stall, please? | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
THEY ALL LAUGH | 0:14:42 | 0:14:43 | |
-£70 for the both. -< Yeah, go on, then. 70 quid. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
-Let's see if it suits you first. -OK. My advice has now changed. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
I think you'd be better off going for the £70 for both. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
-For the both? -Yeah. -And sell them as a job lot or individual? | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
Sell them as a job lot. Sell them as a job lot. £70. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
-That's very fetching, you know. -You like? | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
< Beautiful. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
-Oh, go on, then. -Are you going to go for it? | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
< Even more beautiful. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:05 | |
-Yeah? Shall we do it? Is it the one? -Sold! | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
< Job done. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
Cheers. Thank you for your advice. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
You can return to my store any time now. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:12 | |
Thank you. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:13 | |
Finally, a purchase made. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
You're off the starting blocks, Blues. Well done. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
Lovely. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
Both teams seem happy about making their first buy. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
-So, are you happy with that, guys? -Yes. -Yes. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
-I'm glad we got our first buy. -Yeah. So am I. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
-Half an hour in, yeah. -I was getting a bit scared. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
It's all right just having a bit of a wander, | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
but we're not window shopping. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
-We're meant to be shopping. -I'm normally good at spending money. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:36 | |
I feel better now that I've bought one thing. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
-You do? That's great. -For one thing. -Yep. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
No, really good, 'cause I actually like the fact | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
that the one thing was really old and the other one was just exactly | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
how you imagine a fireman's helmet to be, right? | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
You know what I mean? The brass one is more unusual, isn't it? | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
-So, the pressure's off now, then? -Yeah. -Is it? | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
Well, I wouldn't exactly say that, Colin. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
But the girls certainly seem relieved. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
Talking of which... | 0:15:57 | 0:15:58 | |
Would you like to come and see this lavatory seat? | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
-You could spend a penny...or a few. -Brilliant. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
-£45. -Is there £45 in there? -I don't know. We'll have a look. One minute. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:09 | |
Three, six, nine pounds. £9 and quite a lot of pence. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
-Who's going to, uh... -Who's going to have a look at it? | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
-Ash, after you! -Go on, son! | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
-Who's got some gloves? -Oh! | 0:16:18 | 0:16:19 | |
-Oh, he's gone for it. -Ooh! | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
-Heavy, I bet. -It is quite heavy, actually. Mmm. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
Do you think anybody would wish to have that? | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
-Oh, I don't know. -My gran would love it. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
THEY ALL LAUGH | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
-No. -What? | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
-That is quite amusing, isn't it? -It is. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
Ah! "Limited Edition. 21 of 500." | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
-"Pennies From Heaven". -Pennies From Heaven. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
500! Well, I've not seen the other 499 of these things. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
Shall I go and find the owner and see what the very best is on this? | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
-Let's go for it. -All right, you hold it. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:50 | |
What is a penny from heaven worth? | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
I can't believe we're actually going to buy a toilet seat. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
-'Nor can I.' -It's cool, though. Modern art. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
-Not £40. -Not £40? -Not £40? | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
-£35. -£35. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
-I do like the piece. It's different. -It's different. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
-I don't know if it would sell. -Unexpected. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
-I think it's got a little bit of, sort of... -Mmm. -..mmm. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
A bit of "mmm". THEY LAUGH | 0:17:10 | 0:17:11 | |
-That's got a bit of "mmm". -I think we'll put it down and move on. -I think so. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
OK, move on, Reds. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
That clock is ticking. There's no time to hang about. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
What is it? | 0:17:20 | 0:17:21 | |
-What is it? -A wool winder. -I like that. -And that's Welsh. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
-A wool winder. Something a bit rustic. -Yea or nay? | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
-It depends on the price. -< 70 quid. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
Do you know the history behind it? What sort of age it is? | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
-Uh...mid-Victorian. -Yeah. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
I think it's quite an interesting piece. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
Definitely something to put on the shopping list. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
So, the lowest of the lowest - what would you take? | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
-£65. -Good price. We'll think about that. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
-Have a little look round. -OK. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
So, what are your opinions on the lavatory seat? | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
-Erm... -Are we going to spend a penny? | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
Or is it a busted flush? | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
-I think we may spend a penny. -OK. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
-It's a niche market. -Right. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
I think if we're struggling, we will go back to it. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
-OK. So, you don't want to go back now? -Don't want to go back now. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
So, the Reds are having second thoughts about the loo seat. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
But what have the Blues spotted now? | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
What about that, Colin? What do you think that is? | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
Well, I think it's an afro comb. I think that'll be just ideal for me. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
-You think? -Maybe not. -SHE LAUGHS | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
-You're half tempted by that, aren't you? -I am, yeah. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
-Being the hairdresser that you are... -I am tempted by that. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
Because if it is a comb and... Do you think... | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
What would be the best you'd do on that? | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
£20 would be the best. > | 0:18:28 | 0:18:29 | |
-Do you want to go with that? -Uh-uh. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
-No? -We'll see. -We've still got time. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:33 | |
-Go on, then. -Let's come back to this. -We might come back to you. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
This is our get-out-of-jail card, isn't it? | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
I quite like that comb, though. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
Keep on looking, Blues, but that's something else to think about. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
Now, I feel a literary moment coming on. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
I tell you, it takes quite a book to get me excited, | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
and we have such a book in front of us. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
They always say you can't tell a book by its cover, | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
but in fact, when it comes to 18th-century bookbinding, | 0:18:58 | 0:19:02 | |
you can tell quite a lot, | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
because there is a beautifully patinated and coloured piece of calf leather | 0:19:04 | 0:19:10 | |
that has been applied to a stiff board by the bookbinder, | 0:19:10 | 0:19:14 | |
because at the time that he did this - early in the 19th century - | 0:19:14 | 0:19:19 | |
he rated the book as being special. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
The spine has the title, and that says "History Of America". | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
And if you're a collector at all, | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
having a book that relates to such a prosperous country as North America | 0:19:28 | 0:19:34 | |
is in itself a very good reason to take a look. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
So, inside, we come across the title page, | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
and it says, "The history of America, | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
"including the history of Virginia to the year 1688 | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
"and New England to the year 1652, | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
"by William Robertson." | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
But Mr Robertson didn't publish his early history. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
What happened was a later author, David M'Intosh, | 0:19:58 | 0:20:03 | |
came along after Robertson's death, | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
he took the early history and he wrote the later history. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
And his later history is "The new edition, with a continuation, | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
"of the history of the colonies from 1652 to the present time." | 0:20:14 | 0:20:20 | |
So M'Intosh has taken the story bang up-to-date - | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
but bang up-to-date for him was 1817. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:29 | |
One of the many amusements in this volume are the illustrations. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:34 | |
For example, we look here on page 34, | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
we should find the first discovery of America by Columbus. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
And sure enough, opposite 34, there is that plate. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
Christopher Columbus on his knees discovering the Americas | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
with a few natives just in shore. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
Next, we might look, on page 313, | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
at a map of the United States of America. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
HE CHUCKLES | 0:21:00 | 0:21:01 | |
Well, doesn't look much like the United States of America, does it? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
No, because these are the few states in 1817 | 0:21:04 | 0:21:09 | |
that formed the independent United States of America. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
You can see New York and Pennsylvania and Virginia, | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
the few states clustering along the east coast | 0:21:16 | 0:21:20 | |
before the vast expansion of the country | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
across the western part of the USA. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:27 | |
And no history of the USA would be complete | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
without an illustration of Washington, | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
and here we have him, | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
and of course, it was his famous Declaration of Independence | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
that led to the independence of the USA | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
and the formation of the country as we know it today. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
If you consider the prosperity that sits in America right now, | 0:21:45 | 0:21:50 | |
if you consider the passion that they have for their early history, | 0:21:50 | 0:21:55 | |
it is all wrapped up in this volume. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
That's why, if you can find a book like this | 0:21:58 | 0:22:03 | |
and it happens to be priced at £67, | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
I advise you to take a quick squint. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
What's it worth? | 0:22:09 | 0:22:10 | |
Well, in good condition - | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
and remember, there's some work to be done | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
to the binding of this particular job - | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
I would guess that its estimate at auction | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
would be more in the order of £1,000 to £1,500. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
So, Yankee-doodle-doo, hey? | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
Back to the shopping. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:28 | |
There's just 20 minutes left, | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
and both teams have one purchase under their belts. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
The pressure is on. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:34 | |
-Oh, God, Colin! -What? | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
-She's getting old! -No, I'm getting all panicky. I think we just... | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
No, don't panic. Don't panic. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
-Will they give us time to run back? -No! | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
An hour is an hour, girls. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
-You like your old radios, don't you? -Yeah. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
They're just hard work when it comes to sales. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
Trouble is, it's only going to reap maybe £10 in a sale. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
-No. -So, not for us. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
No, no. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
Even with limited time, there seems to be a lot of looking going on | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
and not much buying. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:01 | |
I feel a sense of panic mounting. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
Yeah, that's a lovely quilt. Did you see that? With roses, yeah. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
Both teams are really struggling to make that second purchase. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
Oh, no! Not another one! | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
I know what you do like. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
Oh, another helmet! | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
Oh, we can't really buy another helmet. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
There's only so many helmets you can sell at an auction room. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
This is very true. Let's give it a miss. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
-Yeah? -I thought it was worth a look. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:24 | |
A look, Colin, yes, but it's a purchase you need. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
This stall seems popular. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
The Reds are following in the same footsteps as the Blues | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
and have spotted something. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:33 | |
What do you think of this, Caroline? | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
1905. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:38 | |
-Oh, wow! I like that. -Hallmarked. A nice weight. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
Walker & Hall. A good Birmingham maker. Yeah. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
Did you know, I love Art Nouveau. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
-Oh, really? Yeah. -I do. I really love Art Nouveau. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
And this, 1905, is exactly the period. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
-OK. -1895, 1905 was fin-de-siecle in France, | 0:23:53 | 0:23:59 | |
the Art Nouveau period really at its height. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
-But what do you think, Sam? -I think it's a very pretty piece. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
I just wonder how popular they'd be round about now. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
They'd always look good on a lady's dressing table. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
-How much is it, though? -£75. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
Do you want to go and ask the very best on it? I think... | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
Hello! Hi. May we just talk to you, sir, about your mirror? | 0:24:16 | 0:24:21 | |
Very, very, very best, please. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
60 quid. > | 0:24:24 | 0:24:25 | |
-SHE TUTS -Oh! | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
I don't think we're going to get... | 0:24:27 | 0:24:28 | |
'Ooh, look. It's Mr Wool Winder again.' | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
It needs to be £50 for us to make a profit on it. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
-Yeah, go on. -Yes? -Yeah. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
-Thank you! -You're welcome. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
At last, another purchase made for the Reds. Thank goodness for that. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:43 | |
There's now just five minutes left. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
Shall we go get the wool thing? Jess, let's go get the wool thing. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
-I like stressing you out. -No, no, cos then...we've done that, then. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
Well, we'll go round that way now. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
-We'll have to start running soon. -I know. I know! | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
I'd start running now if I were you. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
The Reds need one more item and the Blues need two. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
I don't think we're going to do it, are we? | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
-There was a lovely quilt, wasn't there? -Yeah. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
Do you remember? We looked in and there was a quilt. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
-Was it this one in here? -Or was it the next one? | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
I think it was the next one. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:19 | |
-Shall I just run into these other two? -OK. -And have a look. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
Was it this one over here? | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
-Was it where? -Was it another shed? | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
Yes. It might be in that one. Shall we go up here? All right. Come on. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
Here it is! Right. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
Let's just open it up and check for damage. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
There is no damage on that side. Shall we turn it over? | 0:25:40 | 0:25:44 | |
Oh, well, you see, that's lovely. So, it's reversible. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
-Good quality, isn't it? -I like the other side. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
-You like the other side? I like this side. -I like this side. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
Yeah. Two against one. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:53 | |
The main question is the money. £185. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
It's either this or the loo seat, | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
and we've got about three minutes left. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
-No, let's get the toilet seat. -Yeah. OK. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
-You want the toilet seat? -Yeah. -Toilet seat it is! Come on! | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
OK, pop the quilt back and get running, lads. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:09 | |
Ah. A sextant. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
-£240. -Yeah. Well, we've got the money. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
The thing is, with this sextant, it might not float your boat, but at least it will direct it. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:21 | |
-It'll make the money, will it? -Yeah. Got a chance of... | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
-Go on, then. -Let's ask the question. Hi there. How are you doing? | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
What's the, sort of, bestest you can do? | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
Bargain of the day - £150. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:31 | |
< Right, quick. We can pay for it. Let's go. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
-Go for it? -That's it, yep. -Brilliant. -Well done, my man! | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
A panic purchase, but at least it's a purchase. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
-Whee! -Whee! -Two out of three. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
Yes, at least it's a purchase. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
But you still need one more, as do the Reds. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
Oh, it's still here! Goodness me! | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
-Let's quickly buy it. -Phew! I'm a bit flushed after all that! | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:26:53 | 0:26:54 | |
Gosh. Right. I'll go and see if we can get just one more fiver off it. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
-Sounds great. Cool. -Probably if it's still here. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
-How'd you go? -£30. -Oh, brilliant. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
-Is that OK? -Let's have it. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
-Profit-making. -Right, let's go and pay. -Brilliant. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
Well done, Reds. That's you done and dusted. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
And in the last minute of the shop, | 0:27:11 | 0:27:14 | |
the Blues decided there's only one thing to do... | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
Well, that's a good sign. A smiling stallholder. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
-That one, then? -Go for that one. -Yeah, yeah, yeah. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
So, you gave us a sixty-fiver. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
-Is that the very, very, very, very, very best... -£60! Go on! | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
-£60. -Yay! £60. -Top man. Absolutely brilliant. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:33 | |
I'll shake your hand on that one. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:35 | |
-Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:36 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
-So, do we have a happy team? -Yeah, I think so. -Yep. We do. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
-Have you enjoyed your hour? -Yeah, brilliant. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
Finally, the Blues made their third purchase. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
My, that was a hair-raising experience. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
Talk about cutting it fine. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
Time's up. Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh? | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
They sprinkled £35 on a Victorian pierced silver ladle. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:57 | |
An Art-Nouveau silver-backed hand mirror | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
set them back a reflective £50. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
And finally, they flushed away £30 | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
on a novelty Pennies from Heaven toilet seat. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:12 | |
-Well, you went right up to the wire, didn't you? -We did. -Absolutely. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
Testing everybody to the limit! | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
Even our green goddess, who hardly knew which way to turn. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:23 | |
How much did you spend all told? | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
We spent £115 altogether. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
£115. I'd like £185 of leftover lolly, please. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:31 | |
-There we are. -Thank you, Ash. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:32 | |
Now, which is your favourite piece? | 0:28:32 | 0:28:34 | |
-My favourite piece was the mirror. -Was it? | 0:28:34 | 0:28:36 | |
It caught my eye straightaway and it was my favourite piece. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:39 | |
Very good. Sam, what about you? | 0:28:39 | 0:28:40 | |
I think it has to be the toilet seat. Even though it shouldn't be. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
-But there's something about it. -Right. Have you no taste? | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
THEY LAUGH No. I don't think I have! | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
OK, fair enough. Then join the clan. Very good. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:49 | |
There is a bunch of money | 0:28:49 | 0:28:51 | |
for you to go and find the team's bonus buy, OK? | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
But here comes Tim's Ton. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:55 | |
For our special program, you get the extra £100. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
-Thank you. -The ton of money to go and find your second bonus buy. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
And however you do, Caroline, come back and show me how you got on. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:05 | |
You've got ten minutes to find Tim's Ton. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:08 | |
You'd better shove off and go for it, girl, | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
and very, very, very good luck. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:11 | |
Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh? | 0:29:11 | 0:29:15 | |
Two fireman's helmets cost them a hot £70. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:19 | |
A lacquered brass sextant cost them £150. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:25 | |
And finally, they spun £60 of their budget | 0:29:27 | 0:29:29 | |
on this stained beech wool winder. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:32 | |
-OK, so, that was pretty zany, wasn't it? -It was, yes indeed. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:38 | |
-And you went right up to the wire. -Yes. To the very second. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:40 | |
Yeah, well, there you go. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:42 | |
Now, which is the favourite piece for you, Jess? | 0:29:42 | 0:29:45 | |
Erm, I think the helmets that we bought. We bought fireman's helmets. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:48 | |
I think they were quirky and good. I like those, yeah. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:50 | |
And does the boss of the hairdressing salon agree? | 0:29:50 | 0:29:52 | |
-Yes, definitely. -You do agree? -Yeah, I love them. -Yes? OK, fine. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:55 | |
-And how much did you spend? -£280. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:58 | |
Oh, you did well there, girls. Can I have £20 of leftover lolly, please? | 0:29:58 | 0:30:01 | |
-Yes, you can. -Thank you. There's the £20. Excellent. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:05 | |
-Straight across to Colin. -Thank you. | 0:30:05 | 0:30:07 | |
-Not a vast amount of cash, Colin. -No. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:09 | |
But aided and abetted by the £100 of Tim's Ton money | 0:30:09 | 0:30:15 | |
for you to buy the second bonus buy with. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
Hopefully that'll give you some flexibility. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:20 | |
It will. I think I know more or less what I'm going to go for. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:23 | |
I think it will add a bit of clarity | 0:30:23 | 0:30:25 | |
and...a bit of crystal water over this one, I think. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
-Ooh. -Ooh! -There's some hints there. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
OK, girls, relax up. Good luck, Colin. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:33 | |
You've got ten minutes to do it. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:34 | |
If you'd please bring 'em back to me, your bonus buys, | 0:30:34 | 0:30:37 | |
so that we can have a chat in a minute, that would be great. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:40 | |
Meanwhile, though, why don't we find out | 0:30:40 | 0:30:42 | |
how Caroline Hawley's getting on with her purchase of the bonus buys? | 0:30:42 | 0:30:47 | |
First on the shopping list is the team bonus buy. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:51 | |
-There you go. -Thank you. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:54 | |
-What's the best on these? -£10, if that's all right with you. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:59 | |
-Yeah. That's great. -Smashing. Thank you very much indeed. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:02 | |
I would love these. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:03 | |
My "sharp pair" of barbers, and look what I've got them - | 0:31:03 | 0:31:07 | |
a little miniature, miniature pair of scissors | 0:31:07 | 0:31:11 | |
and a tiny penknife. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:14 | |
Just a little bit quirky and a bit daft, and £10. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:18 | |
And how about your Tim's Ton, Caroline? | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
-Excuse me? -Hi. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
What can you tell me about it? | 0:31:25 | 0:31:26 | |
It's 1970s Italian. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:28 | |
-What's the price? -Well, I was looking round about £160. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:33 | |
I don't want to be mean, but I could go £100 but no more. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:37 | |
-Yeah, go on, then. -Will you? -We'll do that. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:38 | |
-Oh, thank you... Ooh, yes! -I'll shake with that hand. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:41 | |
I have spent every last penny of Tim's Ton on this. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:45 | |
We don't have a maker, but I think it's going to make a profit. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:49 | |
Now time for a chat with Caroline about both bonus buys. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:53 | |
-Now, CH, this is your test, isn't it? -It is. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:56 | |
I gave you £185 of leftover lolly to find the team's bonus buy, | 0:31:56 | 0:32:01 | |
and that is it, right? | 0:32:01 | 0:32:02 | |
-I'm afraid it is! -THEY LAUGH | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
Don't be afraid. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:05 | |
It looks very small, but it is perfect for my pair of barbers, | 0:32:05 | 0:32:10 | |
and these are a little miniature pair of scissors. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:15 | |
-About 1920, I would think. -Mm-hm. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:17 | |
They wouldn't cut much hair, would they? But anyway. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:19 | |
Nice little pair of scissors, and a miniature penknife here. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:23 | |
-So, it's a sewing accessory, really? -Or a miniature barber's accessory. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:27 | |
But "A Sharp Pair", then. So, there's a pun there, isn't it? | 0:32:27 | 0:32:29 | |
-Yeah. There is a pun. -Which is rather sweet, isn't it? | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
If it's going to go into your travelling needlework set. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:35 | |
-Well, I gave you £180... -You did. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:39 | |
..so how much did you spend? | 0:32:39 | 0:32:40 | |
-I only spent a tenner, Tim. -Did you really? -I did. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:43 | |
-That is so unlike me. -You are so cheap to take out. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:45 | |
I know! It's terrible! I'm not normally. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:48 | |
-No, no, quite. I quite understand. -No, but this just had to be bought. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:51 | |
OK, for £10. Very good. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:52 | |
-So, that's the team's bonus buy. -Yeah. -What about Tim's Ton? | 0:32:52 | 0:32:56 | |
-I spent the whole of it. -Why? | 0:32:56 | 0:32:58 | |
-SHE LAUGHS -Why?! Tim, you can see why! | 0:32:58 | 0:33:01 | |
It's a 1970s Italian coffee table, | 0:33:01 | 0:33:04 | |
and I just think that that is so contemporary. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:07 | |
-Are you seeing it? -Where are we selling this? | 0:33:07 | 0:33:09 | |
Well, we're selling it at Shrewsbury... | 0:33:09 | 0:33:11 | |
-HE LAUGHS -I know! I know! I know! | 0:33:11 | 0:33:13 | |
-OK, you spent £100 of my money. -I did. -My WHOLE £100 went on that. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:17 | |
Now, my invidious task is to make a prediction - | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
which will bring, in proportion to the amount that was spent, | 0:33:20 | 0:33:25 | |
the most profit? | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
And quite frankly, this miniature sewing bit of kit | 0:33:28 | 0:33:32 | |
has the best chance of bringing the biggest profit | 0:33:32 | 0:33:36 | |
in proportion to the £10 that you spent. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:38 | |
I can see that bringing £20 to £30, or even £40. | 0:33:38 | 0:33:42 | |
-Mm-hm. Great. -So you've been very clever on that. -Thank you. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:45 | |
As to Tim's Ton for £100, I would think you would be jolly lucky | 0:33:45 | 0:33:49 | |
to wipe your face with that in Shrewsbury. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:51 | |
I'm looking forward to prove you wrong on this, Tim. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
Oh, she's a hard woman, isn't she? | 0:33:54 | 0:33:56 | |
Anyway, right now, why don't we take a squint | 0:33:56 | 0:33:58 | |
at how Colin Young, our Blues expert, | 0:33:58 | 0:34:02 | |
is getting on buying his bonus buys? | 0:34:02 | 0:34:04 | |
Thank you, Caroline. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:06 | |
Remember, Colin had just £20 of leftover lolly | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
for his team bonus buy, | 0:34:09 | 0:34:11 | |
so, Colin, what are you thinking? | 0:34:11 | 0:34:13 | |
I've seen something on a stand back here | 0:34:13 | 0:34:15 | |
that I think is going to fit not necessarily the bill, | 0:34:15 | 0:34:17 | |
but it's certainly going to fit the budget. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
-Having a good fair? -Not too bad. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:22 | |
That's good news, then. I might be able to do all right. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:24 | |
What's the asking price on this one at present? | 0:34:24 | 0:34:27 | |
I've got £30 on it. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:28 | |
I'll tell you no lie - it's my bonus buy and they've only left me £20. | 0:34:28 | 0:34:32 | |
I could probably do that for you. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:34 | |
-That was a nice, easy one, then. -Yeah. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:36 | |
-Thank you very much. -OK. Thanks very much. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:38 | |
There we go. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:39 | |
The reason I went for this - obviously a vase - | 0:34:39 | 0:34:41 | |
nice enamel decoration, that sort of Moser look. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:44 | |
For that reason, £20, you'd get a copy - | 0:34:44 | 0:34:46 | |
you ain't gonna get the original. | 0:34:46 | 0:34:48 | |
So, how do you plan to spend Tim's Ton, Colin? | 0:34:48 | 0:34:52 | |
This one certainly should fill the slot. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:55 | |
What have we got? Mandolin, late 19th century. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:57 | |
"The Davidson Music Sellers of Edinburgh". | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
-Hello there. -Hi. Are you all right? -Yeah, very good, thanks. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
Interested in this. Marked up at £85. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:05 | |
Noticed a couple of things with it, like, you know, lack of strings. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:08 | |
-Indeed. -Yeah, a little bit washed out on the front board. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
But what would be your best that you would be able to do on this? | 0:35:11 | 0:35:14 | |
Best on that is £65. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:16 | |
Any chance we could... just shave another fiver off | 0:35:16 | 0:35:18 | |
and be down to the £60? | 0:35:18 | 0:35:20 | |
I think that would be a bit of a sweeter note. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:22 | |
-Yeah, £60. We'll do £60. -£60's good? -Yeah. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:24 | |
-Brilliant. Thank you very much. -Thank you. -Excellent. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:27 | |
Now, time for me to catch up with Colin about these bonus buys. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:30 | |
Well, Colin, you have been a busy boy, haven't you? | 0:35:30 | 0:35:32 | |
-Yeah. It's been a hectic day. -TIM LAUGHS | 0:35:32 | 0:35:34 | |
£20 is all you were given for the team's bonus buy, | 0:35:34 | 0:35:38 | |
and that is it - tell us about it. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:40 | |
Well, it's that enamel-effect glass. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:43 | |
It's not particularly old. It's only a 20th-century example. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:47 | |
And the finish is pretty good. And key... | 0:35:47 | 0:35:49 | |
-DING! -..it rings OK. | 0:35:49 | 0:35:50 | |
So, no damage. | 0:35:50 | 0:35:52 | |
It looks old, cos it's got all this bubbling in the glass, | 0:35:52 | 0:35:56 | |
and that's because it's trying to look like soda metal, | 0:35:56 | 0:35:59 | |
which would be early Continental glass, is it? | 0:35:59 | 0:36:01 | |
Absolutely. | 0:36:01 | 0:36:03 | |
You're looking at something that's potentially 17th century, | 0:36:03 | 0:36:05 | |
but we know it isn't. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:07 | |
Yeah. So, here we've got Christopher Columbus's Santa Maria, | 0:36:07 | 0:36:11 | |
the vessel that took Christopher Columbus across the Atlantic, yes? | 0:36:11 | 0:36:15 | |
-Yeah. -On his discovery of America and so forth. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
So, somebody in the late Victorian or Edwardian period | 0:36:18 | 0:36:21 | |
has thumped that on there | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
because they just wanted it as a decorative device. | 0:36:23 | 0:36:25 | |
-Is that it? -That's it. -Brilliant. And you spent how much on this? | 0:36:25 | 0:36:27 | |
-£20. -THEY LAUGH | 0:36:27 | 0:36:29 | |
You're not predicting much of a profit on it? | 0:36:29 | 0:36:31 | |
Oh, I think it'll be all right, actually, | 0:36:31 | 0:36:33 | |
cos it does have the look, and that was the reason I went for it. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:36 | |
So, £20 spent. That's the full £20 for the team's bonus buy. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:40 | |
Now, I gave you Tim's Ton, I gave you the additional £100, | 0:36:40 | 0:36:42 | |
and this joker is what you came up with. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:45 | |
-Joker?! -Why? -Why? | 0:36:45 | 0:36:47 | |
We had £100 and I wanted something that's going to make a profit. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:51 | |
And overall, condition seems to be pretty good on this. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:54 | |
It's had a lot of wear on it, and you've got the points | 0:36:54 | 0:36:57 | |
at which it's sort of been rejigged on the neck. | 0:36:57 | 0:36:59 | |
OK, fine. So, it's in pretty good condition. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:01 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah. I mean, when you think about it, | 0:37:01 | 0:37:04 | |
in terms of the skill base required | 0:37:04 | 0:37:08 | |
to take each of these pieces of wood, | 0:37:08 | 0:37:10 | |
it's pretty good, isn't it? | 0:37:10 | 0:37:11 | |
It is. The craftsmanship's great. You're warming to this one, aren't you, Tim? | 0:37:11 | 0:37:14 | |
Well, the problem is, I think I am. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
Now, my next job, Colin, | 0:37:16 | 0:37:18 | |
is to predict which of the bonus buys that you've selected | 0:37:18 | 0:37:22 | |
are going to make the largest amount of profit | 0:37:22 | 0:37:25 | |
in proportion to the purchase price, | 0:37:25 | 0:37:27 | |
and my prediction, without a shadow of a doubt, | 0:37:27 | 0:37:30 | |
has to be the team's bonus buy, because, £20 paid - | 0:37:30 | 0:37:35 | |
it's not going to make a lot of profit, if it makes a profit at all, | 0:37:35 | 0:37:38 | |
but maybe £10 profit - | 0:37:38 | 0:37:41 | |
that is going to be, in proportion to the purchase price, | 0:37:41 | 0:37:44 | |
the likely candidate for my selection. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:46 | |
-To be honest with you, I think I'd be with you as well. -OK. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:49 | |
But anyway, talking about playing, | 0:37:49 | 0:37:51 | |
I'm going to shove off right now to London to the Museum of Childhood. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:56 | |
Let's see what I can find. | 0:37:56 | 0:37:58 | |
I've come to the V&A's Museum of Childhood in London. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:14 | |
This incredible building was purpose-built as a museum | 0:38:14 | 0:38:19 | |
to serve and educate the local population, | 0:38:19 | 0:38:23 | |
a lot of whom were in desperate need and with only minimal schooling. | 0:38:23 | 0:38:28 | |
The museum gradually evolved over the years | 0:38:29 | 0:38:32 | |
from having general collections | 0:38:32 | 0:38:34 | |
to specialising in everything and anything connected with childhood. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:38 | |
Now, if you ask most little girls what their favourite toy is, | 0:38:38 | 0:38:41 | |
they'll say it is their doll, | 0:38:41 | 0:38:44 | |
and here at the Museum of Childhood | 0:38:44 | 0:38:47 | |
is the largest collection of dolls anywhere in the United Kingdom. | 0:38:47 | 0:38:52 | |
And apart from the hundreds of dolls that they have up here on display, | 0:38:52 | 0:38:58 | |
there are even more in store down below in the vaults, | 0:38:58 | 0:39:02 | |
and I've been lucky enough to be given permission | 0:39:02 | 0:39:05 | |
to go down and have a look at them. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:07 | |
If I flip open these drawers in the basement, | 0:39:13 | 0:39:16 | |
it's a bit like a Hammer horror film. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:19 | |
Look at this - assorted doll parts. Weird, aren't they? | 0:39:19 | 0:39:23 | |
But the oldest doll that they have in the museum | 0:39:23 | 0:39:27 | |
dates back to the Egyptians. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:30 | |
And here it is. It's something called a paddle doll, | 0:39:30 | 0:39:33 | |
and it was made about 4,000 years ago. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:37 | |
Egyptian women apparently treated these dolls as fertility symbols, | 0:39:37 | 0:39:41 | |
and when you were being interred after you died, | 0:39:41 | 0:39:45 | |
some of these dolls would be buried with you | 0:39:45 | 0:39:48 | |
to ensure that you were fertile in the afterlife. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:52 | |
But dolls through the years had been crafted | 0:39:52 | 0:39:54 | |
out of any number of materials - | 0:39:54 | 0:39:56 | |
basically, what the craftsman had lying around. | 0:39:56 | 0:40:00 | |
Another material used in the modelling of dolls' heads was wax, | 0:40:00 | 0:40:05 | |
especially in Germany, in the Munich area. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:09 | |
In this drawer, we've got heads made of natural-coloured wax, | 0:40:09 | 0:40:14 | |
like that fellow, | 0:40:14 | 0:40:15 | |
and also, wax that's been tinted to resemble flesh. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:19 | |
Then the wax heads are applied to a body, | 0:40:19 | 0:40:23 | |
and you might, at the end of the 18th century, finish up | 0:40:23 | 0:40:26 | |
with a small doll that looked like this. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:29 | |
Startled blue eyes planted into a wax head. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:35 | |
As far as British dolls are concerned, | 0:40:36 | 0:40:39 | |
the very best of those that date from the end of the 17th century | 0:40:39 | 0:40:44 | |
or early part of the 18th century | 0:40:44 | 0:40:46 | |
and the construction used in both their bodies and heads | 0:40:46 | 0:40:51 | |
is solid timber, shaped and then painted. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:54 | |
Stand by for Miss Havisham! | 0:40:54 | 0:40:57 | |
-HE CHORTLES -Isn't she marvellous? | 0:41:01 | 0:41:03 | |
In terms of wooden-headed dolls, | 0:41:03 | 0:41:07 | |
this one dates from around about 1710 or 1720, | 0:41:07 | 0:41:11 | |
and she has a divine hairdo. | 0:41:11 | 0:41:14 | |
She has a high flush, touched up with rouge - | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
actually, a pot of red paint. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:20 | |
Her eyes are divine - large, oval, Indian, with deep black pupils. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:27 | |
And then the dress. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:29 | |
We've got loads of tulle and sequins and multicoloured beads | 0:41:29 | 0:41:34 | |
throughout her costume. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:36 | |
And the best bit of all is her stomacher, | 0:41:36 | 0:41:39 | |
which is a multifaceted aquamarine. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:43 | |
Probably a piece of blue glass. Gorgeous. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:46 | |
Cutting swiftly to the 19th century, | 0:41:49 | 0:41:52 | |
the most prolific period for the production of quality dolls, | 0:41:52 | 0:41:56 | |
we start in the 1830s to 1850s with porcelain-headed dolls. | 0:41:56 | 0:42:02 | |
It's a head and shoulders doll | 0:42:02 | 0:42:05 | |
made to be applied and sewn to a soft, padded torso | 0:42:05 | 0:42:10 | |
and then dressed. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:12 | |
Next to that, we have another variety of porcelain-headed doll | 0:42:12 | 0:42:17 | |
called bisque. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:19 | |
This is unglazed, but it's porcelain and fired to a high temperature. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:24 | |
For collectors, its features are that it's got sleepy eyes. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:27 | |
There you go, look. Its blue eyes close when you invert it. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:32 | |
Highly desirable. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:34 | |
And finally, as far as post-war dolls are concerned, | 0:42:34 | 0:42:39 | |
this is a classic. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:41 | |
She too has sleepy eyes, and enormous eyelashes - | 0:42:41 | 0:42:45 | |
applied with mascara, I fancy - | 0:42:45 | 0:42:48 | |
and made out of soft vinyl. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:51 | |
The big question for us now is, | 0:42:51 | 0:42:53 | |
which of our teams over at the auction is going to go soft first? | 0:42:53 | 0:42:58 | |
Well, this is fun - to be with Jeremy Lamond | 0:43:08 | 0:43:10 | |
at Halls Auction House in Shrewsbury. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:12 | |
Welcome, Tim. | 0:43:12 | 0:43:13 | |
Let's start out and do the silver sifting spoon. | 0:43:13 | 0:43:15 | |
Well, you can't go wrong with those. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:17 | |
It's in good condition. I have no doubt that will sell. | 0:43:17 | 0:43:20 | |
-At what price, though? -£20 to £30. | 0:43:20 | 0:43:22 | |
-OK, £35 paid. -Yeah. | 0:43:22 | 0:43:24 | |
So, they may have paid a tad too much. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:26 | |
Next is the classic - the silver-backed dressing table mirror. | 0:43:26 | 0:43:30 | |
Slightly more eclectic. | 0:43:30 | 0:43:32 | |
It will sell, but better, perhaps, with a set. | 0:43:32 | 0:43:35 | |
-I.e. the brushes and the pin box and all that? -Yeah. | 0:43:35 | 0:43:38 | |
-£15 to £25. -Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear. | 0:43:38 | 0:43:41 | |
-£50 paid. -Really? -Yeah. -Ooh. | 0:43:41 | 0:43:43 | |
-It's a lot of money, isn't it? -Mmm. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:45 | |
And last but by no means least is the perspex lavatory seat. | 0:43:45 | 0:43:51 | |
-JEREMY SIGHS -Could do with some refurb, I'd say. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:53 | |
Yeah, I think so. I mean, who would sit musing on a pile of money? | 0:43:53 | 0:43:56 | |
It's the sort of wacky thing that, actually, the market might like. | 0:43:56 | 0:43:59 | |
Give us a pitch for your price as to what it will bring. | 0:43:59 | 0:44:02 | |
Well, I think it might make £30 or £40 | 0:44:02 | 0:44:06 | |
to somebody who wants eternal giggling | 0:44:06 | 0:44:08 | |
in the smallest room in the house. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:10 | |
And a bit of kitsch. OK, why not? £30, they paid. | 0:44:10 | 0:44:13 | |
So, overall, they may just about be all right, | 0:44:13 | 0:44:16 | |
depending on what happens with the silver-backed mirror, | 0:44:16 | 0:44:19 | |
and if it all goes horribly wrong, | 0:44:19 | 0:44:21 | |
they'll need one or other of their bonus buys. | 0:44:21 | 0:44:24 | |
So, let's go and have a look at them. | 0:44:24 | 0:44:26 | |
Well, this is exciting, chaps, isn't it? Double bonus buys! | 0:44:28 | 0:44:32 | |
Anyway, the team's bonus buy first. | 0:44:32 | 0:44:35 | |
You gave Caroline £185 of leftover lolly. | 0:44:35 | 0:44:38 | |
Caroline, where is the team's bonus buy? | 0:44:38 | 0:44:40 | |
It's here. In my hand. It's a very small bonus buy. | 0:44:40 | 0:44:45 | |
But it's for my very own very sharp pair, "A Sharp Pair"... | 0:44:45 | 0:44:51 | |
ASH AND SAM EXCLAIM | 0:44:51 | 0:44:53 | |
..and it's this little pair of scissors... | 0:44:53 | 0:44:55 | |
-Oh! -Very good! -Thank you. -..and a little miniature knife. | 0:44:55 | 0:44:58 | |
-I like that. -How sweet! | 0:44:58 | 0:45:01 | |
-For our hairdressers! -Yes! | 0:45:01 | 0:45:03 | |
Have a little handle of those, Sam, see what you think. | 0:45:03 | 0:45:06 | |
Oh, it feels all fragile. | 0:45:06 | 0:45:07 | |
So, made in the '50s, or the '30s, do you think? | 0:45:07 | 0:45:09 | |
Probably the '30s, I would think. | 0:45:09 | 0:45:11 | |
How much did this set you back? | 0:45:11 | 0:45:13 | |
I paid £10. | 0:45:13 | 0:45:15 | |
-Oh, did you? -Yes. -£10, hey? | 0:45:15 | 0:45:17 | |
And ask her how much she thinks it's worth. | 0:45:17 | 0:45:19 | |
-How much do you think it's worth? -Possibly £15. | 0:45:19 | 0:45:22 | |
OK, fine. So, you could add a 50% mark-up to that particular snip. | 0:45:22 | 0:45:28 | |
Anyway, there we are. Very nice, Caroline. | 0:45:28 | 0:45:30 | |
That's the team's bonus buy. | 0:45:30 | 0:45:32 | |
But what does the auctioneer think about this team bonus buy? | 0:45:32 | 0:45:36 | |
"A Sharp Pair". There you go, Jay. | 0:45:37 | 0:45:40 | |
Yep. Well, there you are. A little pair of scissors, a little knife. | 0:45:40 | 0:45:43 | |
Can't go wrong with that. Quite legal. Short blade. | 0:45:43 | 0:45:45 | |
It's never going to be a lot of money, is it, really? | 0:45:45 | 0:45:48 | |
Well, it's the team's bonus buy. | 0:45:48 | 0:45:49 | |
Caroline had £185. She spent £10. Did she spend it wisely? | 0:45:49 | 0:45:53 | |
-£5 to £10. -OK, £5 to £10 is your estimate. Fair enough. | 0:45:53 | 0:45:57 | |
Now, time to see what the Reds think about their Tim's Ton. | 0:45:57 | 0:46:00 | |
Now, Tim's Ton - you had the additional £100. | 0:46:02 | 0:46:05 | |
-I did. -What did you spend it on, Caroline? | 0:46:05 | 0:46:08 | |
I spent it on this rather smart coffee table. | 0:46:08 | 0:46:13 | |
-Yeah, I like that. -Yeah, I do too. -Oh, do you? -Very nice. | 0:46:13 | 0:46:15 | |
-I thought you might. -Modern. -Yeah, it's modern, yeah. | 0:46:15 | 0:46:18 | |
-It's got a hole in it! All right? -THEY ALL LAUGH | 0:46:18 | 0:46:20 | |
-That's for a fact! -Yes, yes! -All right? | 0:46:20 | 0:46:22 | |
This is inspired by Henry Moore, is it? | 0:46:22 | 0:46:24 | |
Yes, I would think so, and it's from possibly the '70s, '80s. | 0:46:24 | 0:46:29 | |
-But I think that that would fit into any contemporary interior. -Oh, yeah. | 0:46:29 | 0:46:32 | |
-You would have that in your home? -I'd buy it, yeah. | 0:46:32 | 0:46:35 | |
What's it made of, Caroline? | 0:46:35 | 0:46:36 | |
-It's a resin base... -Would that be plastic, then? | 0:46:36 | 0:46:39 | |
Another term for plastic, Tim, yes. Another term for plastic. | 0:46:39 | 0:46:42 | |
-"Resin" sounds better, doesn't it? -"Resin" sounds better. | 0:46:42 | 0:46:44 | |
-So, how much did you pay for it? -I spent the whole ton. | 0:46:44 | 0:46:47 | |
-Did you? -£100. -£100? -Yeah. | 0:46:47 | 0:46:49 | |
How much do you think we could get for it? | 0:46:49 | 0:46:51 | |
-I think £120, £130. -Cool. | 0:46:51 | 0:46:54 | |
OK, chaps. | 0:46:54 | 0:46:55 | |
Well, you don't pick now, but in a minute, you will have the choice - | 0:46:55 | 0:46:58 | |
if you want to - to take one or other of the bonus buys. | 0:46:58 | 0:47:01 | |
You don't have to take either. You can't have both. | 0:47:01 | 0:47:04 | |
But that'll be your pick, all right? | 0:47:04 | 0:47:07 | |
So, now, what does the auctioneer think about Tim's Ton? | 0:47:07 | 0:47:10 | |
And the Tim's Ton bonus buy is this fellow, | 0:47:11 | 0:47:16 | |
this rather handsome 1990s plastic occasional table. | 0:47:16 | 0:47:19 | |
That is a bit of kitsch and £50 to £80, I think. | 0:47:19 | 0:47:23 | |
-£100, she paid. -Mmm. | 0:47:23 | 0:47:25 | |
-So she might be lucky with that. -Yep. | 0:47:25 | 0:47:26 | |
Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues. | 0:47:26 | 0:47:29 | |
And their first item is the fireman's helmets. | 0:47:29 | 0:47:32 | |
I'm not a fireman's helmet buff, if that's the right word, | 0:47:32 | 0:47:35 | |
but they can't be rare, can they, really? | 0:47:35 | 0:47:37 | |
£20 or £30? | 0:47:37 | 0:47:39 | |
OK. £70 paid. So, that is not so hot. | 0:47:39 | 0:47:42 | |
Next, we have the sextant in its case, and I don't know... | 0:47:42 | 0:47:46 | |
How do you get on with these marine instruments? | 0:47:46 | 0:47:49 | |
Well, they seem to sell well enough. You're looking at maybe £30 to £50. | 0:47:49 | 0:47:53 | |
£150 paid. | 0:47:53 | 0:47:55 | |
-So, that's a BIG problem. -It might be. | 0:47:55 | 0:47:57 | |
And now the wool winder on stand. | 0:47:57 | 0:48:00 | |
I just don't think it's very old, Tim. I mean, what do you do with it? | 0:48:00 | 0:48:03 | |
-Oh, just £20 or £30. -£60 paid. | 0:48:03 | 0:48:06 | |
So, we have a disaster with the sextant, | 0:48:06 | 0:48:08 | |
not so hot with the wool winder, | 0:48:08 | 0:48:10 | |
in which case, they're certainly going to need their bonus buys. | 0:48:10 | 0:48:13 | |
So let's go and have a look. | 0:48:13 | 0:48:16 | |
Now, Jess, Colleen, this is exciting, isn't it? | 0:48:16 | 0:48:18 | |
-Ooh! -Ooh! | 0:48:18 | 0:48:19 | |
You only spent £280, which is really good, | 0:48:19 | 0:48:22 | |
and you gave Colin £20 of leftover lolly, | 0:48:22 | 0:48:24 | |
so, Colin, for the team's bonus buy, what did you buy? | 0:48:24 | 0:48:27 | |
I thought I'd spend all of it on that little thing. | 0:48:27 | 0:48:29 | |
-You like that, don't you? -No. | 0:48:29 | 0:48:31 | |
-No?! -It's awful. | 0:48:31 | 0:48:33 | |
No?! No?! | 0:48:33 | 0:48:35 | |
You only gave me 20 quid! What are you complaining about? | 0:48:35 | 0:48:37 | |
-Is it something of a collector's jobbie, is it? -No. | 0:48:37 | 0:48:40 | |
It's a bit of a copy of something a bit older, but it's a bit newer. | 0:48:40 | 0:48:44 | |
-Do you like it? -It's not whether you like it or not. | 0:48:44 | 0:48:46 | |
It's, are we going to make some money? | 0:48:46 | 0:48:49 | |
-Ships(!) -Don't worry. Don't worry. | 0:48:49 | 0:48:51 | |
-Bless you! -You don't have to like it. | 0:48:51 | 0:48:53 | |
How much do you reckon? | 0:48:53 | 0:48:55 | |
I think you've got to at least make 50% on that. | 0:48:55 | 0:48:57 | |
-Do you think? -Yep. -OK, fine. | 0:48:57 | 0:48:59 | |
Well, that's the team's bonus buy. That's one of your picks. | 0:48:59 | 0:49:02 | |
But what does the auctioneer think about the Blues' team bonus buy? | 0:49:02 | 0:49:05 | |
So, Jay, one beaker-form vase. | 0:49:07 | 0:49:10 | |
Yep. Continental soda glass. Santa Maria. | 0:49:10 | 0:49:13 | |
A bit of fun. £20 or £30. | 0:49:13 | 0:49:16 | |
-£20 paid. -Yep. That's enough. | 0:49:16 | 0:49:17 | |
Frankly, Colin only had £20 of leftover lolly. | 0:49:17 | 0:49:20 | |
-So it's a reasonable buy, isn't it? -It is. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:22 | |
If the team decide to go with that bonus buy. | 0:49:22 | 0:49:25 | |
Time to see what the Blues make of their Tim's Ton. | 0:49:25 | 0:49:28 | |
In this special program, girls, you also have Tim's Ton, | 0:49:29 | 0:49:32 | |
the extra £100 which Colin has gone off to find something splendid, | 0:49:32 | 0:49:37 | |
and, Colin, what have you got? | 0:49:37 | 0:49:38 | |
Well, this time round, | 0:49:38 | 0:49:40 | |
something that was going to strike a chord with you. | 0:49:40 | 0:49:42 | |
-Oh! I like that. -That's a bit better. I don't mind that one. | 0:49:42 | 0:49:45 | |
-Are we getting a bit better now? -Yeah. -I like that, yes. -OK. | 0:49:45 | 0:49:48 | |
-Look at the back of it as well. -That's more us. | 0:49:48 | 0:49:51 | |
-What, you mean classy? -Classy. -Very classy. -Exactly. | 0:49:51 | 0:49:54 | |
That's not me. That's more me - tacky. | 0:49:54 | 0:49:56 | |
Oh, darling, don't be like that and put yourself down! | 0:49:56 | 0:49:58 | |
This is Colleen, this is me. | 0:49:58 | 0:50:00 | |
This time round, I've spent £60. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:02 | |
-What's it called? -It's actually a mandolin. -It is lovely. | 0:50:02 | 0:50:05 | |
How much profit do you think it'll bring, though? | 0:50:05 | 0:50:07 | |
I think it's going to be a sure profit again. | 0:50:07 | 0:50:09 | |
-Might make you £20 or £30. -Right. -OK. | 0:50:09 | 0:50:10 | |
Well, you watched his lips. You just have to think about it. | 0:50:10 | 0:50:13 | |
Cos you don't pick now, you pick after the sale of your last item. | 0:50:13 | 0:50:15 | |
Now, what does the auctioneer think about the Blues' Tim's Ton? | 0:50:15 | 0:50:19 | |
A Dunn & Davidson Edinburgh resaled mandolin. | 0:50:21 | 0:50:25 | |
This has obviously been well thumbed. | 0:50:25 | 0:50:27 | |
And they seem to sell consistently, these, but not particularly rare. | 0:50:27 | 0:50:30 | |
-£30 to £50, we think. -£60 was paid. | 0:50:30 | 0:50:33 | |
-Well, it's going to struggle. -It's going to struggle? | 0:50:33 | 0:50:36 | |
-At £60. -HE PLAYS A NOTE | 0:50:36 | 0:50:39 | |
Seems to have struck the wrong note here. | 0:50:39 | 0:50:40 | |
Thank you, Jeremy. | 0:50:40 | 0:50:42 | |
£28. £30. | 0:50:45 | 0:50:47 | |
Now, Ash, Sam, how are you feeling? | 0:50:49 | 0:50:51 | |
-Excited. -Relaxed? -No. -No? What's the matter, Ash? | 0:50:51 | 0:50:54 | |
-The tension is high. -But you're pretty happy all round, are you? | 0:50:54 | 0:50:57 | |
-Oh, yeah. -Yeah? OK, fine. | 0:50:57 | 0:50:58 | |
Got the fiddle-pattern ladle, which you paid £35 for. | 0:50:58 | 0:51:02 | |
The silver sifter ladle. Always useful. £15. | 0:51:02 | 0:51:07 | |
It is silver at £15. £15 bid. At £15. | 0:51:07 | 0:51:10 | |
£18. Yes? £20. | 0:51:10 | 0:51:12 | |
£22. £22 at the very back. At £22 now. | 0:51:12 | 0:51:16 | |
Back right at £22. Who else? | 0:51:16 | 0:51:18 | |
£25. He's back. At £25. It's in front now. | 0:51:18 | 0:51:21 | |
I'll take £1 more. At £25. | 0:51:21 | 0:51:23 | |
All done at £25? | 0:51:23 | 0:51:25 | |
£25 is minus £10. I can't believe it. | 0:51:25 | 0:51:28 | |
That has to be the cheapest silver this side of Newcastle. | 0:51:28 | 0:51:31 | |
OK. Now, silver hand mirror. | 0:51:31 | 0:51:34 | |
The Edwardian Art-Nouveau silver hand mirror. | 0:51:34 | 0:51:36 | |
What about that one there at £15 for it? | 0:51:36 | 0:51:40 | |
-£15?! -£15 for the hand mirror? £15. -FIFTEEN pounds! | 0:51:40 | 0:51:43 | |
£15? £15. | 0:51:43 | 0:51:44 | |
£18. Yes, £20. | 0:51:44 | 0:51:46 | |
£22. £25. £25. | 0:51:46 | 0:51:49 | |
Where's the internet bidders? Come on. | 0:51:49 | 0:51:51 | |
All done, then? At £25? Anybody else at £25? | 0:51:51 | 0:51:54 | |
Is minus £25, which is minus £35. | 0:51:54 | 0:51:57 | |
This lavatory seat's got to do it for you. | 0:51:57 | 0:51:59 | |
A novelty toilet seat here. | 0:51:59 | 0:52:02 | |
£30. £30. | 0:52:02 | 0:52:05 | |
-£30? -Come on. | 0:52:05 | 0:52:06 | |
£20? £20, I've got. | 0:52:06 | 0:52:08 | |
At £20. At £20. Who's going to go two? | 0:52:08 | 0:52:11 | |
£20. Here. At £20. You're going to get it. | 0:52:11 | 0:52:14 | |
At £20. Nobody else? Quite sure? | 0:52:14 | 0:52:16 | |
-He's going to flush it away for £20. -That was a bargain. | 0:52:16 | 0:52:19 | |
-£20 is minus £10... -I would have paid more for that. | 0:52:19 | 0:52:21 | |
-..is minus £45, chaps. -There's probably more in the actual seat. | 0:52:21 | 0:52:24 | |
OK, chaps, you have to decide. | 0:52:24 | 0:52:26 | |
Are you going to go with the miniature scissors | 0:52:26 | 0:52:28 | |
or are you going to go with the little coffee table? | 0:52:28 | 0:52:31 | |
-Probably thinking the scissors. -Are you? | 0:52:31 | 0:52:33 | |
You don't have to go with either. | 0:52:33 | 0:52:35 | |
We're not in a profit, so I think go with the scissors. | 0:52:35 | 0:52:37 | |
Very good. So, we're going to go with the bonus buy - | 0:52:37 | 0:52:40 | |
the team's bonus buy, which cost £10. | 0:52:40 | 0:52:42 | |
The sharp pair of scissors in the little pocket travelling case. | 0:52:42 | 0:52:46 | |
What about those? And the little penknife there. | 0:52:46 | 0:52:48 | |
£5 for them. | 0:52:48 | 0:52:49 | |
-£5, I've got on the internet. -Come on. Yes. | 0:52:49 | 0:52:52 | |
£6 if you like. £6. | 0:52:52 | 0:52:53 | |
At £6. I'll take £7 if you like, internet. | 0:52:53 | 0:52:56 | |
At £6. The bid is in the room at £6. | 0:52:56 | 0:53:00 | |
-All finished, then, at £6? -Oh, come on! | 0:53:00 | 0:53:02 | |
Oh, dear, oh, dear. £6 is minus £4. | 0:53:05 | 0:53:08 | |
Which means overall, you are minus £49. | 0:53:08 | 0:53:11 | |
Now, you didn't go with Tim's Ton, you didn't go with the £100 table, | 0:53:11 | 0:53:15 | |
but we're going to sell it anyway, and here it comes. | 0:53:15 | 0:53:18 | |
Who'll start me at £30? £30 for it? £30. | 0:53:18 | 0:53:21 | |
-Where's £30? £30? -< Oh, dear. | 0:53:21 | 0:53:24 | |
Start me at £20. £20. | 0:53:24 | 0:53:26 | |
-What a bargain. I'd pay...£20. -£20. -Come on! -£20. | 0:53:26 | 0:53:30 | |
£10 only? | 0:53:30 | 0:53:32 | |
Oh, dear! I'm sorry. I've wasted Tim's Ton! | 0:53:32 | 0:53:35 | |
-£10. I'll take £12 if you like. -Sorry, Tim. | 0:53:35 | 0:53:37 | |
At £10 only, and selling. The egg will not hatch? | 0:53:37 | 0:53:40 | |
-OK, £10 is minus £90. -£10 for a table! -I would have that. | 0:53:42 | 0:53:45 | |
So, listen. You did well, chaps. | 0:53:45 | 0:53:47 | |
You took the right reading from this sale room | 0:53:47 | 0:53:50 | |
and decided that you were not going to go with the modernist. | 0:53:50 | 0:53:53 | |
Anyway, there we are. | 0:53:53 | 0:53:54 | |
It was minus £4 on your bonus buy, the team's bonus buy, | 0:53:54 | 0:53:56 | |
which means overall, you're minus £49, | 0:53:56 | 0:53:58 | |
which could easily be a winning score, so let's be positive. | 0:53:58 | 0:54:01 | |
-Oh, really? -Let's be upbeat. | 0:54:01 | 0:54:02 | |
-Let's hope so! -Well, it could be, couldn't it? | 0:54:02 | 0:54:05 | |
£28. £30. | 0:54:05 | 0:54:07 | |
Now, brace up. Do you know how the Reds got on? | 0:54:13 | 0:54:16 | |
-Not a clue. -No. -Nope. We don't want you to. | 0:54:16 | 0:54:18 | |
Now, you went with the two fireman's helmets, | 0:54:18 | 0:54:20 | |
you paid £70, and here they come. | 0:54:20 | 0:54:22 | |
Two fireman's helmets. Here they are. | 0:54:22 | 0:54:24 | |
So, who's going to start me? | 0:54:24 | 0:54:26 | |
Two fireman's helmets. Start me at £20. | 0:54:26 | 0:54:27 | |
-Nobody's bid anything yet. -£20 for these. | 0:54:27 | 0:54:29 | |
-£20 bid left, then. -Oooh! -At £20. | 0:54:29 | 0:54:32 | |
£22. £25. £28. | 0:54:32 | 0:54:34 | |
£30. £32. £35. | 0:54:34 | 0:54:36 | |
-They like it! -How much? | 0:54:36 | 0:54:38 | |
Back left, then, at £35 for the fireman's helmets. | 0:54:38 | 0:54:41 | |
At £35. Selling them at £35. | 0:54:41 | 0:54:43 | |

-Oh, that lovely vase? -Or the mandolin? Or neither? | 0:55:58 | 0:56:01 | |
The "Continental beaker"? | 0:56:01 | 0:56:03 | |
That gorgeous vase with those lovely sailing boats going round it. | 0:56:03 | 0:56:05 | |
-The one that you said was so naff. -Disgusting. -That's the one. | 0:56:05 | 0:56:08 | |

-Minus £5... -Yes! -..is minus £160, you are, kids. | 0:56:40 | 0:56:44 | |
Let's see what happens with the mandolin, eh? | 0:56:44 | 0:56:46 | |
Who's going to start me at £20 for it? | 0:56:46 | 0:56:47 | |

The internet bidder, then. I'm selling at £35. | 0:57:03 | 0:57:06 | |
-You did about as well as us. -Minus £25. | 0:57:07 | 0:57:09 | |
OK. That's it, then, kids. Your overall score is minus £160. | 0:57:09 | 0:57:13 | |
It might be a winning score, so say nothing to the Reds, all right? | 0:57:13 | 0:57:16 | |
-I don't think it's going to win. -Mmm. -Hey. Let's have fun, eh? | 0:57:16 | 0:57:20 | |
-Thanks, kids. -Thank you. | 0:57:20 | 0:57:22 | |
Well, well, well. Been having a chat, have we? | 0:57:31 | 0:57:33 | |
-You friendly...snippers? -No. -Snippers and permers? | 0:57:33 | 0:57:37 | |
OK, fine. Well, it's no secret there is no profit for either team today. | 0:57:37 | 0:57:42 | |
In fact, it's a question for one team of monumental losses, | 0:57:42 | 0:57:45 | |
and that team just happened to be the Blues. | 0:57:45 | 0:57:47 | |
Girls, it was not running down your gutter today, was it? | 0:57:47 | 0:57:50 | |
-No. -No. -It wasn't. | 0:57:50 | 0:57:52 | |
All I can say is that as far as the bonus buys were concerned, | 0:57:52 | 0:57:56 | |
-you picked the one that made the least loss... -Yes. That was good. | 0:57:56 | 0:57:59 | |
We picked the same one, so we picked the right one, | 0:57:59 | 0:58:02 | |
even though it didn't make a profit. | 0:58:02 | 0:58:04 | |
-Does that make sense? -Yeah. | 0:58:04 | 0:58:05 | |
-Have you had a nice time? -Yeah. Yeah, it's been great. -It's good. | 0:58:05 | 0:58:08 | |
We've loved having you. | 0:58:08 | 0:58:10 | |
Now, for the Reds, the boys, they're going to go home with victory | 0:58:10 | 0:58:13 | |
by only managing to lose £49. | 0:58:13 | 0:58:16 | |
-That's not bad, is it? -Which is not so bad, is it? | 0:58:16 | 0:58:18 | |
I have to say that, Caroline, as far as the bonus buys were concerned, | 0:58:18 | 0:58:21 | |
I was with you with your bonus buy, which was the miniature scissors, | 0:58:21 | 0:58:25 | |
which made the smallest loss, so it's not all bad-bad, is it? | 0:58:25 | 0:58:27 | |
-No. -Never mind. | 0:58:27 | 0:58:29 | |
Such fun, though. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes? Yes! | 0:58:29 | 0:58:34 |
