Our teams today should know a thing or two about beauty, | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
because they're all visual artists. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
But will they know the difference between a Botticelli | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
and a botch job when it comes to finding bargains? | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
Well, we'll soon find out...cos let's go bargain hunting! Yeah! | 0:00:19 | 0:00:24 | |
Here in Oswestry, we have changed the rules a bit, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
because our experts are not going to have to find one, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
but TWO, bonus buys | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
to take forward to auction. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
More of that a bit later on. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
But right now, let's see what's coming up. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Positively Pugin, wow! | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
-The Reds go off the wall! -LAUGHTER | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
Oh, guys, it's very wacky! | 0:01:07 | 0:01:08 | |
And the Blues prove hard to please. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
That is far away from something that I would normally buy | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
that I can think of! | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
'But who will steal the winning prize at auction?' | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
-Oh, no! -'Let's meet today's team.' | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
So you could say it's a clash of the creatives today | 0:01:21 | 0:01:26 | |
because, on the Red Team, we have Diana and Jazz | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
and, for the Blues, we have Alison and Mike. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
-Hello, everyone. -ALL: Hello! | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
Lovely. Now, Diana, you're a painter. What style do you paint in? | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
I paint in an abstract expressionist style, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
which means I get the paint out | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
and put it on the canvas and enjoy myself. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
So, you just chuck the paint down and have a good time, do you? | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
-Well, sometimes I actually just throw it... -Flick it! And you exhibit? | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
-Internationally... -I do. -..and all that stuff? | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
I've been in San Francisco, in New York and London. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
I sell most of my work in London. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:58 | |
-And there are plenty of buyers about... -There are. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
-..if you can reach out to the right person. -Yes. -Now, Jazz, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
what sort of art do you like to create? | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
Erm, I do figurative stuff, 90% of it any rate, so it's people. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
And, um, I'm now quite seriously into what they call body casting... | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
-Are you? -..which means I cover people in plaster. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
JAZZ LAUGHS | 0:02:16 | 0:02:17 | |
-Not the whole person, cos that's really quite hard. -Only bits! | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
-Not the whole thing. -Well, it's hard to do the whole thing, cos they've got to keep still! | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
-So you get a favourite bit off my body... -Yep. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
..and you cover it in plaster of Paris. Then what do you do? | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
And then that is turned into a bronze. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
And then I treat it with chemicals under the heat | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
and get a bit of patternation onto it, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
stick it on a plinth and there you go. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
That's marvellous, isn't it? | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
It should be that you are VERY well qualified | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
-for our special programme today. -Let's hope so. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
What sort of things are you going to go and buy? | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
-We might go wacky to start with. -Oh, might go wacky! | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
-We like a bit of wacky. -ALL LAUGH | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
Anyway, very good luck. I think we're going to have a HOOT. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
Now, Alison and Mike. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
How did you first meet? | 0:02:55 | 0:02:56 | |
Mike was recommended to me as a really good photographer | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
when I was looking for somebody to photograph my artwork. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
So tell us about your work, Alison. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
Well, I'm a textile artist, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
so I do freehand machine embroidery. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
What is freehand machine embroidery? | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
Well, it's a creative use of a basic sewing machine. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
-It's like moving the canvas under the paintbrush... -Yes, I see. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
..because you can't move the machine, it's too heavy, | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
-so you have to move the artwork. -Right. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
So it's painting with threads, basically. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
Now, your work's been exhibited internationally. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
I've exhibited in America, France, | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
and last year, for the first time, invited to exhibit in Australia. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
-Really? -Yes. -That's lovely. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
Now, what kind of things have you photographed over the years, Mike? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
Mostly wildlife. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
I've been in over 40 countries, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
I've done all the major tourist destinations, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
Lapland, India, Africa, Galapagos, | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
mostly lions and tigers, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
rhinos, hippos, that sort of thing. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
Do you have to get up close? | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
I didn't hear that, sorry, could you say it again? | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
Now... Oh, brilliant man! You've got an ear trumpet. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
That's a splendid job. Is it silver? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
-It's silver-plated, Tim. -Gosh! | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
-That's a beautiful thing, isn't it? -It is. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
Now, for those fans of Bargain Hunt, they will have seen me | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
go for one or two of these over the years, | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
cos they're jolly difficult to find. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
-How many have you got in your collection? -As of yesterday, 237. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
That is quite an achievement, isn't it? | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
So, today, on Bargain Hunt, will you be going for an ear trumpet | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
-if you can find one? -Well, if I find one, Tim, | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
but I think it's very unlikely. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:27 | |
What sort of thing are YOU going to go for, do you think? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
-I'm going to travel with an open mind. -Are you? -Hm-mm. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
-That is the way... -That's code for, "I have no idea." | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
Well, why not! Anyway, here we go, look. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
£300 apiece. Here's the dosh. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go! | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
Gosh, we're going to have a great day today. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
Now, let's meet our artful experts. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
Peddling to make our creative team a whole load of cash, | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
it's Christina Trevanion. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
And heading into battle for the artsy Blues, it's Kate Bliss. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
Aren't artists...quite fiery in their temperament? | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
-Oh... -Well, they're right brain, so they do things quickly and suddenly. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
-Well, I do that anyway! -Quickly and suddenly, I like that. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
-What are we going to be looking for today? -No tat! | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
-No tat! -No repro. -Good! | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
We're looking for wacky, possibly, | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
-and also... -Good. -..something that might sell well in Malvern. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
-Nothing damaged. -OK. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:28 | |
-And only things you like. -I feel like I should be taking notes! | 0:05:28 | 0:05:33 | |
Wow! I can't wait to see what these zany teams buy today. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
Your 60 minutes starts now! | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
ALARM RINGS | 0:05:39 | 0:05:40 | |
-Let's get going! -Yes! -All right! | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
Oh, that IS nice, isn't it? | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
I think it's lovely, but I can't IMAGINE why anybody else would! | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
-Move on. -That's possible, let's go on. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
-Oh, that's interesting. -Oh, yes. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
"National Union of Women's Suffrage." | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
Look at that. £330. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
-You've got a very good eye, Alison, to spot that. -OK, yes. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
-Expensive tastes too, though. -Yeah. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
Maybe not, then. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
-What about this? -A cabinet. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
How much... BOTH: Oh! | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
-I think that's... -Oh, la la! | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
We're being pulled off! | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
I don't think we've got the budget for that, sadly. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
Maybe not that, either! | 0:06:22 | 0:06:23 | |
What have we got round here? Oh, this is nice, guys. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
Isn't that lovely? | 0:06:27 | 0:06:28 | |
I mean, that just instantly screams at you Victorian Gothic. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
-It looks like the inside of a church, doesn't it? -Yes. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
-Yes, it's positively Pugin that, isn't it? -It certainly is! | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
Positively Pugin, wow! | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
-Are you all right? -'Here's a contestant who knows his stuff.' | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
Bowl me over! | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
It absolutely is. I mean, think of the Houses of Parliament. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
Pugin designed the interior, and maybe the exterior as well, | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
-for the Houses of Parliament. -Yeah, he did. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
So it is certainly a very stylish thing. Certainly very stylish. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
What we need to do now, is just have a look around it and see | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
if there are any obvious repairs...or damage. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
It possibly has lost the few of the little seat supports in there. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
I've got a little split on the inside there, | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
but that is relatively forgivable. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
because it's obviously on the inside. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:09 | |
-It's got a wonderful patina to it, hasn't it? -Not very worn or anything... | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
The only thing I'd say about buying a hall chair like this | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
-is, really, there would have been two originally... -Fair enough. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
..so you would have had a pair that would have sat side by side. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
But I think it's a nice thing. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:23 | |
But, really, at auction, I'd be wanting to get it for £40-£60. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
-Yes. -Sir, is this your chair? | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
Could we have a chat with you about it? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
What would be your best price on that, | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
because, really, at auction I would put it in at sort of £40-£60. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
SELLER: Would you like me to tell you what I'd knock it down to? | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
-What did you pay for it? -No, I won't tell you what I paid! | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
I would sell it for £50. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
£50? What do you think, guys? | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
-Well, it seems very sudden. -Nice and quick. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
DIANA: But it doesn't matter. We said... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
It's going to rain, we've got to be quick! | 0:07:51 | 0:07:52 | |
-We do sudden, Jazz, don't we! -Do we? We do, we do spontaneous. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
We said we'd do something spontaneous, didn't we? | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
-Yes, spontaneous, quick. Yes, right brains. -For £50... | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
Well, I think let's try and get it... | 0:08:00 | 0:08:01 | |
Is there any more movement in that? Because I think 40 would be really... | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
-We could come back...go away and come back. -..the best. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
-Ooh... -SELLER: Yeah, we'll do it for 40. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
Would you? You're a star! | 0:08:10 | 0:08:11 | |
-Well, I think we can't say no then, can we? -It's entirely up to you guys. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
-What do you think? -I think we've got to go with that, Jazz. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
-I think we have, really. -Yes, we definitely have. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
-OK. -Many thanks. -Shake the man's hand, brilliant! | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
Thank you very much. How much did you pay for it? | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
SELLER: Oh, I'm not telling you! | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
Thank you, thank you very much. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:26 | |
Quick on the draw, as promised. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
That's your first bargain. Well done, Reds. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
Now, how are the Blues doing? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
What's that little... | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |
-nice... -Now, that's very sweet. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
Could we have a little look at that little etui? | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
SELLER: Yes, of course. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
It's known as an etui from the French, E-T-U-I, | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
um, which is the name for, essentially, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
a little holder of tools, or they may be manicure items. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
In this case, we've got what looks like...is that a toothpick? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
-SELLER: Toothpick, yes. -A little button hook and a propelling pencil. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
-Solid or plate? -ALISON: It looks like the ultimate Swiss Army knife! | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
Well, exactly. Probably late Victorian, early Edwardian in date. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
-Is it hallmarked? -SELLER: There isn't hallmarks on it, but it's from circa 1900. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
-OK. -And the case is all silver. -Yep. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
With no Hallmark to guarantee it's silver, | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
it could be a gamble at auction. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
-So, do they want to risk it? -What do you make of that? | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
I think it's lovely, I think it's really interesting. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
I mean, it's beautifully engraved, it's a collector's piece. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
Originally, you know, circa 1900, | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
it could have been on a gentleman's watch chain, perhaps, on an Albert. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
At auction, it's not going to be that sort of figure because that's a retail price. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
-But he's a really nice guy... -He is. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
..and he's going to give us a lower price. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
I knew where this was going. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:38 | |
ALISON: I was going to say, does this sound familiar? | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
SELLER: I could do that, erm, £100. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
-ALISON: Straight hundred... -I have a special request for you. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:48 | |
-Can I hear 99? -THEY LAUGH | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
Listen carefully,. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
-Yes, you do hear £99. -Thank you very much, sir. -Look at that! | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
The auction goes up in fives and tens, so 99, we might make a quid. | 0:09:55 | 0:10:00 | |
Good thinking. I like it. Let's not dally. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
-ALISON: Let's do it. -That's a sale. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:04 | |
-SELLER: £99. -Thank you very much. Lovely! | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
These right-brained artists have a whole load of brawn | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
when it comes to bagging the buys. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
It's 1-1, teams. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:12 | |
Well, I was looking at this Dalton Lambeth. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
Now, Dalton at Lambeth sourced a lot of their craftsmen | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
from the Lambeth School of Art. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
And the artists had their ciphers | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
and they all signed it on the bottom. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
So if we did a little bit of research, | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
we could actually see who PD was. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
I don't know whether this is a JH or an SH, HK. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
And we've got this wonderful sort of stamp here, | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
Dalton Lambeth England. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:34 | |
-What does that bit mean? -9244 will be the shape. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
-Oh, right. -OK? | 0:10:37 | 0:10:38 | |
So this is what we call a jardiniere. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
-That colour... Bring that colour up to the sun. -It's beautiful. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
-It's cobalt. -That's fabulous. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
It is, isn't it? Really lovely. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:46 | |
And this is typically Victorian. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
Dalton actually started out making sewer pipes. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
So not quite as romantic as you'd think. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
Well, everyone's got to start somewhere. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
This stoneware body was actually used for pipes | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
and then they, obviously, branched out into more artistic pieces. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
And they are responsible for | 0:11:01 | 0:11:02 | |
some really sort of ground-breaking beautiful pieces | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
of the 20th century, and the 19th century as well. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
Oh, we've got a bit of a chip going on here. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
What do you think, guys? | 0:11:11 | 0:11:12 | |
I think it's great and I think people who are buying plants in pots | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
are always looking for something attractive to put them in. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
I think, if we can get this for 20 or 30 quid, | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
I think it's worth going for. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
We are interested in your Dalton pot. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
But, probably, in the region of £20 or £30. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
Could you possibly stretch that low? | 0:11:28 | 0:11:29 | |
Bearing in mind that it has got a little chip on it. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
Say something like 28? | 0:11:32 | 0:11:33 | |
-Well, seeing as it's you. -Oh... | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
Oh, not me. It's you. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:37 | |
Step forward. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
She needs to do all the negotiating now. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
-What do you think? Happy at £28? -Yes. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
I think it stands a good chance of making a profit for us | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
-and I think it's a lovely thing made by artists. -Yes. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
Sold to an artist. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
Two things in 17 minutes, which is phenomenal. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
So we've got over 40 minutes to have a look for our final thing. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
The Reds are buzzing through their shop. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
But Kate's got a bee in her bonnet about something. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
Hooray! | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
Hmm... It's quite petite. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:10 | |
Yes, I think it should fit a little snugger than that. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
Heads were smaller back then. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
Well, it's certainly '20s in style. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
We've got the box. Kendals on there. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
And I'm just looking to see if we've got a label. Oh, we have. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
Kendal Milne. Look at that. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
Has it got a price on that? | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
-Hi, there, madam. -Hi. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
What can you tell us about this? | 0:12:31 | 0:12:32 | |
It's 1920s, 1930s. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
Original box. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
It's also got all the original paper that came with the box. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
Oh, right, all the tissue. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
Yeah, everything is original. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
I can do you a very good price on that. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
-I could do you that for £20. -It's a lovely thing. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
I mean, it's certainly classy. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:49 | |
-There's a lot of work in it. -A huge amount of work, yes. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
It's about as far away from something I would normally buy that I can think of. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
-Out of the comfort zone. -But that might be a good idea. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
No, no, I think it's a fun idea because it's a bit unusual. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
But I have a small question for you. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
May we have it for 19 so that we've got a better chance at auction? | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
Certainly, sir. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:12 | |
Can we have a think about that? | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
-You want to come back? -Yeah, let's have a think. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
Back to the shopping. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
Just one item to go for those radical Reds, | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
and they're still after that wacky wonder to woo at auction. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
Have you had a thought about agricultural implements? | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
Oh, my goodness me! | 0:13:29 | 0:13:30 | |
Oh, no, surely not that old thing? | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
It was a thought. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:36 | |
But I think it maybe is taking it a little bit too far. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
It could be. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:40 | |
-Good morning. Is this yours, sir? -It is. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
-Is this an old sort of seed drill? -Yeah. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
This is your seed hopper. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
All the gubbage in here for where your seeds go through. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
And if they get jammed up, you can take these out. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:56 | |
This actually pushes the seed round, | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
as the belt's driving it, down into those. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
And then this pulls along to set the seed. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |
I think it's a gem, actually. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
I think it's utterly nuts. I love it. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
They are having a laugh. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:12 | |
-Oh! -Oh... | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
-I think I can just about do it. -Oh... | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
Can you imagine wheeling that around all day? | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
Of course they wouldn't have been wheeled about by hand. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
They'd have been pulled about by horses. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
And horse-drawn seed drills | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
were used from the late 17th century right up to the 1930s. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
-So it would be about 1878 to 1880. -Mmm. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
-Oh, guys, it's very wacky. -Yeah. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
-I'm just a bit nervous about it. -We both love it. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
Because I think it might just be totally nuts. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
There is certainly a collectors' market for agricultural implements. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
What would your absolute, absolute def be on it? | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
I couldn't go less than 100. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
Even if we were taking it away for you, | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
you didn't have to take it home with you, | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
you didn't have to put it in the back of a van, we'd be taking it... | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
Right, £99. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:54 | |
Would you consider doing it for 90? | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
-Yes. I would. -He's a star. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
And that would be the absolute def. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
We've got loads of time. We've had a really good look at it. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
We've got 30 minutes, if not more, to have a quick squiz up and down. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
Would you mind very much holding it for half an hour | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
-and we'll probably be back. -Yep. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
Brilliant. Thank you so much. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:19 | |
Right, let's go. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
The Blues are falling behind with two items to go. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
But, while they don't have the quantity, | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
at least they are going for quality. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
-That's lovely. -Do you like that? -Yes, I do. It's beautiful. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
Does it open? | 0:15:35 | 0:15:36 | |
Well, that's what I was wondering, | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
because you have Georgian and Victorian snuff boxes, | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
in the shape of a boot, which opens. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
But I think this is just carved. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
It's just decorative, yes. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
It's very elegant. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:49 | |
It's a piece of tree and it's got something about it, hasn't it? | 0:15:49 | 0:15:53 | |
It's got some patina. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
It's using the lovely grain of the oak. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
And treen is the name given to, essentially, a wooden object | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
that's been handcrafted. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
It's got some age to it. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:04 | |
I think it's sort of late Victorian, early Edwardian. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
Nicely worn in places. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
Shall we find out how much it is? | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
Hi, there. How much is that? | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
-Erm, let's just have a check. -Thanks. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
The best I can do on that would be 45. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
29's my price. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:22 | |
29 you're thinking? | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
-Don't you think? -Yeah. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:26 | |
-What do you think, Alison? -Yeah, I would go for it at that. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
45 would be my best on it. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
Can I hear 39? | 0:16:32 | 0:16:33 | |
Sadly not, no. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
-Give us an offer. -41, and you can knock me down to 40. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
-What do you think, Mike? -At least it's a respectable object. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
Oh, absolutely. I mean, it hasn't been messed about. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
We're on the clock, so maybe we should be decisive. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
I think we should progress. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
-Do it? -Yes. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
-Shall we go for it? -Thank you very much. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
At last, the Blues are hotfooting it back into play, | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
finally bagging their second item. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
But, at this rate, how will they ever manage a third? | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
They obviously have got a standard and they don't want to go below that. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:08 | |
So let's just hope we can find a third thing | 0:17:08 | 0:17:09 | |
that lives up to their expectations. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
22 minutes left on the clock. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
So will the Reds love anything as much as that blooming seed drill? | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
-Anything here for us? -Nothing leaps off the shelf. -No? | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
-What on earth is that? -Do you love it? | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
No. I'm not interested. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
-I've never seen a rolling pin like that. -Do you love it? | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
Not particularly. No. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
He wants £45 for this. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
-If that was £2.50, I wouldn't be buying it. -No. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
Let's move on, then. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:37 | |
Meanwhile, Kate's still trying to quench | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
the Blues' thirst for superior quality. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
My, that looks interesting. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
-I've done a bit of foraging. -Well, that's good. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
-You said you liked glass. -Yes. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:50 | |
Well, in the current market, | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
-I normally wouldn't advocate buying a decanter. -No. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
Because they have absolutely plummeted. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
This one, however, is a particularly nice one. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
It's very English. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
And if we look at it, I think it's Georgian in date. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
But the great thing about it, and its selling point, | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
-is this lovely wheel-cut engraving. -Oh, yes. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
And we've got hunting scenes here | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
of a rider on horseback. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
And on this side, he's been thrown from his horse, | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
which some people might say is a good thing. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
Hunting's a very controversial subject. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
-There are lovers and haters of it. -Yeah. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
But, the thing with decanters to check | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
is not only for damage in the body, | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
but also that the stopper fits nice and snugly. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:37 | |
And this one certainly does. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
-Phew! -Phew! | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
-Have you looked at the price? -Yeah. Blowing our budget. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
-It's £120. But at the moment he's come down to 90 for me. -Oh, OK. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:49 | |
-89, do you think? -Maybe if the ear trumpet came out. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
-Oh, I'm not sure. Is it not too expensive? -I rather agree with you. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
Oh, OK. That's good. That's always helpful, isn't it? | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
Can we put it on the back burner with the hat? | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
-We've got about 15 minutes. -OK, well, we... | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
So what say you we have a very quick squimmy outside? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
I'll take this back so it's in safe hands | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
-and we can always come back to it. -Sounds right. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
OK, I'll catch you up. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:13 | |
We'll go and have a look a little bit further. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
Oh, no. They've bottled it. Time's running out. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
These teams need to stop hanging about and sharpen up their acts. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
I can't help feeling that we're wasting time a little bit. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
And your hearts aren't in everything that we've looked at. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
Well, I haven't seen anything I prefer, I have to say. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
-So, I'm happy with the... -You're stuck on the seed drill? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
I'm very happy with the seed drill, yeah. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:32 | |
I'm happy to take risks, actually, Jazz, and go with the consequences. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
-Shall we go and talk to the man again? -Yeah. He might do 85. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
He might. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:40 | |
Hooray! The Reds have finally made a decision, | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
but the Blues are still looking. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:44 | |
-Oh, a sewing machine. -A sewing machine. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
-It's really pretty. Lovely patterns and things on it. -Yes. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
-How much will it make? -Not very much. -Exactly. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
-They are fairly two-a-penny. -Yes, they are. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
-Come on, then, let's not waste time. -Best not. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
Well, we're back. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:00 | |
Any more movement whatsoever? | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
I can do one more fiver and that is absolute def. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:07 | |
-So 85? -£85. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:08 | |
And that's the absolute def on it. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
-I take risks, Jazz. -You do. I know that. Yeah. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
Would you be happy to buy it for £85? | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
-Yeah, I would. -Shake the man's hand. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
-I'll just wipe a tear from my eye. -Oh...! | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
I think our Reds will be the ones weeping. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
He'll wipe a tear from his eye | 0:20:23 | 0:20:24 | |
then he'll be round the back of his tent jumping for joy. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
# I've got a brand-new combine harvester... # | 0:20:26 | 0:20:29 | |
Brilliant! Well done. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
That's it, we're done. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:32 | |
-Fantastic! -Three down! | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
That's a first for Bargain Hunt. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
Kate's desperate to spearhead a rescue | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
in the dying minutes of the shop. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
But can she appeal to Mick's adventurous side? | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
Obviously, they've got a tribal look about them, | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
an African spear look about them. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
They do go for serious sums of money | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
if they're the right, genuine article. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
I have to tell you, even if they're not, | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
sometimes they can make a little bit | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
because somebody might have a punt. | 0:20:58 | 0:20:59 | |
They're 20 quid for the pair. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
I'm not keen on these at all. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
-You're not keen on this? -No. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
Are they tourist pieces or are they serious bits of art? | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
I would say, I'm pretty sure they are tourist pieces. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
We said we would take your advice and we said we would buy quality | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
and the glass kind of beats that into a hole in the ground. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
Well, I'll let you into a little secret. I thought you might say that. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
-Did you? -So I've reserved it for you. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:23 | |
Oh, brilliant. Thank you. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
-Shall we go and get it? -Yeah, let's do that. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:26 | |
Well done, Kate. She got that for £80. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
I can't bear this! Time's up. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh, Ted? | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
They laid down £40 on the Gothic mahogany hall chair. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
They spent £28 on the pot, on the Dalton Lambeth jardiniere. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:48 | |
And they eventually trotted off | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
with the wooden horse-drawn seed drill for £85. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:54 | |
Well, Diana, Jazz, that was good, wasn't it? | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
-Excellent, yes. -Record speed, I think. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
-He's still in shock slightly. -Is he? | 0:21:59 | 0:22:00 | |
Yeah, I never thought we'd be that quick. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
Now, which is your favourite piece, Jazz? | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
I think I like the jardiniere. I can see myself using that. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
Do you agree with that, Diana? | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
Well, I like it. But the seed drill, because it's so risky. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
And that's the favourite? Yes. OK. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
And will the seed drill bring the biggest profit, do you think, Diana? | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
-Possibly not. -OK, well, what might? | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
The jardiniere or, possibly, the little chair. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
-You're just hedging your bets, aren't you? -Yes, I am. Yes! | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
-How much did you spend? -153. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
153? | 0:22:29 | 0:22:30 | |
I would like 147 of leftover lolly, please. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
There you go. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:34 | |
Now, you've lived with these teams for this hour, | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
so now you're in a very positive state | 0:22:37 | 0:22:38 | |
as to what you're going to find, right? | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
-I'm thinking something arty. -You're going... | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
-We've got to go with something arty. -Good idea. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
Well, in case you don't get over-arty, | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
-I'm going to give you another £100. -More money? Brilliant! | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
Which is your Tim's ton to go and find that special item | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
for our special programme. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:54 | |
And we won't tell the teams anything about it | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
until we get to the auction. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:57 | |
Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh? | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
They spent £99 on a Victorian white-metal multitool. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |
A Victorian carved beech-tree boot was fitted for £40. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:11 | |
And, after much ado, | 0:23:11 | 0:23:12 | |
they finally decided on the glass-etched decanter, | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
for which they poured away £80. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
-Well, that was exciting, Blues, wasn't it? -It was. Great fun. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
Cor, how marvellous you two are. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
Which is your favourite piece? | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
-The silver. -Do you agree with that, Mike? -Absolutely. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
-Is it going to bring the biggest profit? -Probably. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 | |
-You think hopefully, probably? -Hopefully, probably, yes, maybe. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
-Are you like this all the time? -Always. -Always? Good. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
Mike, what's your prediction? | 0:23:39 | 0:23:40 | |
-I think the glass has got a better chance. -Do you? | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
-And you spent in total how much? -219. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
Then I would like £81 of leftover lolly, please. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
-Over straightaway to Kate. -Thank you very much. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
Bit of a challenge there, Kate. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
It is. Got to be classy for these two. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:54 | |
I know it does. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:55 | |
Anyway, here's Tim's ton, | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
the extra £100 to buy the extra bonus buy. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:01 | |
So, a double challenge, Kate. And good luck with that. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
First, let's find out how Christina got on. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
She had £147 of leftover lolly to spend on the team's bonus buy. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
I think Jazz would really, really like this, | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
and he's a sculptor, isn't it? | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
So I think it's quite a sculptural thing, | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
and it's meant to go in the garden, | 0:24:25 | 0:24:26 | |
it's obviously a sundial | 0:24:26 | 0:24:27 | |
or something that would've been mounted on some sort of plinth. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
Excuse me, it's got £120 on it. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
What would be your very, very best on that? | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
I was looking, really, around about 100. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
Because I was thinking at auction it would probably fetch between £60-£80. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:41 | |
That's what I'd be hoping for. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:42 | |
I could probably do 85, | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
but that would be the def, I would think. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:45 | |
£80, go on. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
-And you don't have to take it home. -Go on, then. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
£80? Brilliant. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:52 | |
Thank you very much. That's brilliant. Thank you. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
An astronomical find, Christina. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
There's still £100 to spend on your Tim's ton. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
Diana was very keen on the fact that we were selling in Worcestershire, | 0:25:00 | 0:25:04 | |
and I saw this little piece of Royal Worcester | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
so I thought it would be perfect. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
Very, very sweet. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:09 | |
What did you have on this? | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
Erm,...I have 95 on it. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
I think it's a really lovely thing. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:16 | |
But I would be wanting to pay £60-£80 on it. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
I think that's what it would fetch at auction. Can I tempt you to 60? | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
Erm... | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
-A little bit more. -Little bit more? | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
-How much of a little bit more? -Say a five. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
-65? -Yes. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:29 | |
Because it's the end of the day | 0:25:29 | 0:25:31 | |
and it's been in my cupboard for a long while. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
Well, if you're happy at 65, I'm happy at 65, if that's OK? | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
-Yes, that's fine. -Great. Thank you so much. Thank you. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
Let's have a chat about both buys. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
You had £147 of leftover lolly... | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
-I did. -..for the team's bonus buy. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |
And you went with that heap there, did you? | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
Be nice! | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
-I did. -You did? -I thought, "That looks quite cool." | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
We've got Atlas supporting the world here. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
I think, in a garden on a plinth, it would look really rather stately. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:02 | |
I have to tell you, I think that's been in the garden since about 1920, | 0:26:02 | 0:26:07 | |
-would be my guess. -Yeah. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:08 | |
I mean, anybody can have one of those sundials | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
with a little bar that sticks up, | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
but to have an armillary sphere sundial... | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
-Oh, blimey! -..in your garden. -Armillary sphere? | 0:26:15 | 0:26:19 | |
-Armillary sphere in your garden. That is really hot. -Good. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
So you're a clever old fruit. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
-How much did you pay for it? -80 squid. -£80, you paid. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
-What do you think? -OK, fine. Well, give me the alternative. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
Because you had my ton, | 0:26:31 | 0:26:32 | |
which, I guess, is this miserable little pot over here! | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
-Yes. However... -Oh, yes? | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
..Diana is a painter, so I wanted to buy something hand-painted for her. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
So, I've bought them a little Royal Worcester powder box and cover. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:44 | |
And I just thought these little birds in flight were really, really sweet. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
Hand-painted. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:48 | |
And we've also, more importantly, | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
got this wonderful mark on the bottom, | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
which gives us a date code for 1908. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:54 | |
The price is more or less the same - £65 for that, and £80 for that. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
So making the choice | 0:26:58 | 0:26:59 | |
as to which one is going to make the biggest profit, | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
in proportion to the purchase price, is very difficult. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
And I think, although it's a difficult choice, | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
there is only one candidate to go racing away | 0:27:08 | 0:27:13 | |
out of your selection of two. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:14 | |
And that is...the armillary sphere. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
-Oh... -I think it's very nice. I think it's very smart. -Oh, good. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
And on that happy note, why don't we find out | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
how that poor Kate Bliss is getting on shopping for her bonus buys. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:28 | |
For her team's bonus buy, Kate had £81 of leftover lolly to play with. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:36 | |
Oh, we've got some bits and bobs here. This is nice. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
Now, you see quite a lot of mother-of-pearl little penknives. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:47 | |
But the nice thing about this one is that it's Georgian. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:51 | |
-How much is that? -33. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
You couldn't do it for 20-ish, could you? | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
-I can go 23... -23? | 0:27:56 | 0:27:57 | |
..and we're sorted. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
-That's good for me. Thank you very much. -Pleasure. -Lovely. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
She's slashed the price on that one. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
So how do you plan to spend your Tim's ton, Kate? | 0:28:06 | 0:28:09 | |
Look at that. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:11 | |
-That's in amazing condition, isn't it? -It is. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
-Lovely. And the little ramp comes down. -Yes. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:17 | |
And the back opens up as well. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
-What do you want for that? -Erm... | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
I'm asking 80, but you can have that for 60. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
-Can I? -Yeah. -And it's got its box? -And it's got its box. All original. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:30 | |
-I'm happy with that. -OK. -That's a sale. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
Kate's driven home a bargain with this good bet. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
Now, you had £81 of leftover lolly for the team's bonus buy. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:41 | |
-Tell us about it. -Well, I think this is rather lovely. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:44 | |
You see lots of mother-of-pearl fruit knives, | 0:28:44 | 0:28:48 | |
pocket knives, at these fairs. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:52 | |
But this is a particularly nice one. Firstly, it's in lovely condition. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:56 | |
But the even nicer thing about it | 0:28:56 | 0:28:58 | |
is the little hallmarks on the silver blade, | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
-which shows that it's a Georgian one. -Yeah. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:04 | |
-Which is particularly unusual. -Good. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:06 | |
-How much did you pay? -I paid £23. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:09 | |
Is that all? | 0:29:09 | 0:29:10 | |
-Which, for a little Georgian one, I think is a good price. -OK. £23. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
Thanks very much. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:15 | |
Then Tim's ton, you went out and found yourself a nice Dinky toy. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:19 | |
I've got a bit of a soft spot the Dinkies. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:21 | |
But this is a particularly nice one that caught my eye. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:24 | |
Firstly, it's a horse box, | 0:29:24 | 0:29:27 | |
which is a little bit unusual. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:29 | |
It's got its box, it's late '60s in date. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:32 | |
And it's in really nice order. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:34 | |
Now, my job is to make a prediction as to which one, | 0:29:34 | 0:29:38 | |
in proportion to the purchase price, | 0:29:38 | 0:29:40 | |
is likely to bring the bigger profit. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:43 | |
And I think your Georgian fruit knife at only £23 | 0:29:43 | 0:29:48 | |
is a bit of steal. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:49 | |
So my little sticker is going on there, OK? | 0:29:49 | 0:29:53 | |
Lovely. Thank you very much, Kate Bliss. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:55 | |
Philip Serrell, how lovely to be in God's country | 0:30:05 | 0:30:09 | |
on the outskirts of the town of Malvern. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:12 | |
It's lovely to be here, Tim, and lovely to see you. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:14 | |
-Anyway, first up with their mahogany Gothic hall chair. -I like that. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:18 | |
-You do? -Yeah, I do. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:19 | |
It's got a bit of a look to it. That'll do all right. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
-What did they pay for that? -They paid £40. -It'll make £30-£50. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:24 | |
-Will it? OK. -All day long. -OK. | 0:30:24 | 0:30:25 | |
Dalton Lambeth stoneware. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
Little bit of a nibble, I can feel, on there. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
Is this kind of yesterday's, or is it today's? | 0:30:30 | 0:30:32 | |
Well, luckily, it's yesterday's taste but it's today's price. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:36 | |
-Because we put £20-£30 on that. -And they only paid £28. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:40 | |
-So they've done OK with that. -OK, fine. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:42 | |
And their last item is the horse-drawn seed drill, | 0:30:42 | 0:30:46 | |
-which is outside for the world to look at. -Yes. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:50 | |
You are in an agricultural area, and their strategy will be | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
there is nowhere better to sell a seed drill | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
than down at Phil Serrell's. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:57 | |
I think they'll do all right with it. | 0:30:57 | 0:30:59 | |
I don't know what they paid for it but, I mean, | 0:30:59 | 0:31:01 | |
-I can see that making £60-£90. -Can you? £85 they paid. | 0:31:01 | 0:31:03 | |
Well, you know, they should be all right. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:05 | |
Well, if your confidence is misplaced | 0:31:05 | 0:31:08 | |
and the seed drill does not perform as anticipated, | 0:31:08 | 0:31:12 | |
they're going to need one or other, perhaps, of their bonus buys. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:16 | |
-Now, Diana, Jazz, how are you feeling? -Good. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
Now, we have a complicated double arrangement of bonus buys today. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:26 | |
We have the leftover lolly bonus buy, | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
which I'm holding for Christina, | 0:31:29 | 0:31:31 | |
because it's a bit on the heavy side. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:33 | |
You spend £153 | 0:31:33 | 0:31:35 | |
and there was £147 of leftover lolly, | 0:31:35 | 0:31:38 | |
and THIS is it... | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
# Ba-bam! Ba-bam! # | 0:31:42 | 0:31:44 | |
-Anyway, there we go. How about that? -Oh, I love it. Love it. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:48 | |
-What do you think? -That's fabulous. I want it. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 | |
So, it's an armillary sphere, Tim reliably informs me. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:54 | |
It's a sundial, basically, in the form of an armillary sphere. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:57 | |
-I wanted to get you something sculptural. -I love it. I want it. | 0:31:57 | 0:31:59 | |
Can we keep it out the sale? | 0:31:59 | 0:32:01 | |
-That's a good sign, isn't it, Tim? -Well, exactly. | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
-The big question is how much did she spend? -Well, I was quite proud. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
-And I spent £80 on it, OK? -Oh? | 0:32:07 | 0:32:10 | |
Now, if that came into me at auction, | 0:32:10 | 0:32:11 | |
I wouldn't hesitate to put 80 to 120, maybe 100 to 150, | 0:32:11 | 0:32:15 | |
because I think it's a good-looking thing. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:17 | |
For the benefit of the audience at home, | 0:32:17 | 0:32:19 | |
let's see what Phil, our auctioneer, thinks of Christina's sphere. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:23 | |
£80 was paid for this by Christina. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:26 | |
What I liked about it and why I reckon this is Wonnacott's winner, | 0:32:26 | 0:32:30 | |
-is that it's got a look. -Yeah. | 0:32:30 | 0:32:32 | |
And I hope that this look is going to be the look | 0:32:32 | 0:32:34 | |
that's going to be popular in your saleroom. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:36 | |
We've got some good architectural buyers | 0:32:36 | 0:32:38 | |
and I think that's a stylish thing and I think that will do very well. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:41 | |
I mean, I've put a very mean £50-£80 on it. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:43 | |
-But I think it will find quite a decent level. -Yeah. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:45 | |
I have a funny feeling the sun is about to shine on that one. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:48 | |
Yeah, I think so, too. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:49 | |
And now to Tim's ton. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:50 | |
This is the additional bonus buy | 0:32:50 | 0:32:52 | |
which you had to pick in this special show. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:54 | |
And £100 you had, Christina. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:56 | |
What did you spend your £100 on? | 0:32:56 | 0:32:58 | |
-I wanted to buy something for you, my love. -Oh, thank you. -Being an artist. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:01 | |
And you were very, very keen on the fact | 0:33:01 | 0:33:03 | |
that we were coming to Malvern and Worcester. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:05 | |
-So I bought you a piece of Royal Worcester. -Oh, it is beautiful. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:08 | |
-It's hand-painted. -I want that, too. -Oh, good. There we go. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:12 | |
They want everything! | 0:33:12 | 0:33:14 | |
And I spent £65 on it. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:16 | |
-Oh, that's good. -OK? -Yes. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:18 | |
Frankly, in this saleroom, for Worcester, | 0:33:18 | 0:33:20 | |
it ought to make its money, didn't it? | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
You'd hope so. Yes. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:23 | |
Let's see what Phil thinks of this little pot. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:26 | |
The second item is that Worcester pot. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
That's just a really nice little early Worcester dressing-table pot. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:33 | |
-That's going to make between £50 and £80. -OK. She paid £65 for it. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:36 | |
Yes, she should be all right. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:37 | |
-So you might find that it just takes off. -We hope so. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:40 | |
Exactly. Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now, for the Blues, | 0:33:40 | 0:33:44 | |
we've got a mixture here, look. | 0:33:44 | 0:33:46 | |
Now, how about a Victorian multitool? | 0:33:46 | 0:33:48 | |
I think that's absolutely lovely. Couldn't find the hallmark on it, | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
so we've called it, I think, white metal. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:53 | |
Put a very cautious £30-£50 on it. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:55 | |
And if people think it is silver, it'll go and make £100 plus. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:58 | |
-It needs to make £99. -Yeah... | 0:33:58 | 0:34:01 | |
-Anyway, next is this. -I love that. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:04 | |
-Do you think it's a shop display, then? -I think it probably is, | 0:34:04 | 0:34:07 | |
but I just think it's really lovely. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:09 | |
But I'm a sucker for that sort of stuff. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:12 | |
I've put £30-£60 on that and I think it will do it all day long. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
No problem, that's a lovely estimate, Phil. £40 they paid. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:17 | |
So that's spot-on. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
And then, lastly, we've got the decanter. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:21 | |
It looks to me a pretty ordinary thing, actually. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:23 | |
Well, I would think that's come out of a set of four, hasn't it? | 0:34:23 | 0:34:27 | |
-Possibly in a box. -Yeah. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:29 | |
You know, I think we've put, what, £40-£60 on it. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:32 | |
Do you think that's pretty optimistic or are you pessimistic? | 0:34:32 | 0:34:35 | |
I think if it makes 60 quid, it's really well sold. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:38 | |
They paid £80. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:39 | |
So, if there is a problem there, | 0:34:39 | 0:34:41 | |
I think it's the decanter that takes them to that bad place. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:44 | |
In which case, | 0:34:44 | 0:34:45 | |
they're going to need one or other of their bonus buys. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:48 | |
First up is the team's bonus buy, | 0:34:50 | 0:34:53 | |
where you had £81 of leftover lolly, | 0:34:53 | 0:34:55 | |
which you gave to Kate. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:57 | |
Kate, what did you spend on the bonus buy? | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
Well, not as much as you might think, actually. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:02 | |
And this is what I found. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:05 | |
Oh... | 0:35:05 | 0:35:07 | |
So, it's a little penknife. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:10 | |
But this one is a little bit special | 0:35:10 | 0:35:12 | |
Because condition is very important with these. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:15 | |
And if I just open it up, | 0:35:15 | 0:35:17 | |
you can see that the blade is still nicely intact. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:22 | |
Now, very often these are shortened | 0:35:22 | 0:35:24 | |
and, when they lie in the mother-of-pearl holding, | 0:35:24 | 0:35:27 | |
the blade finishes and there's a space. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:29 | |
But you can see this one fits very neatly. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:31 | |
The second thing is that it's got a silver blade, | 0:35:31 | 0:35:35 | |
but it's quite an early silver blade. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:37 | |
And it is, in fact, Georgian. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:39 | |
-How much? -Straight in there, Mike! | 0:35:39 | 0:35:42 | |
-No, perfectly all right. -23. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:45 | |
-Oh, that's not bad. That's my lucky number. -Is it? -Yes. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:48 | |
Well, there we go. That's a good omen. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:49 | |
What do you think it would fetch at auction? | 0:35:49 | 0:35:51 | |
Because that's the crucial question, isn't it? | 0:35:51 | 0:35:53 | |
I would put an estimate of certainly £30-£50 on it. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:57 | |
Really? | 0:35:57 | 0:35:59 | |
What are Phil's thoughts on the little fruit knife? | 0:35:59 | 0:36:01 | |
Now, the team's bonus buy, | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
which Kate went off and spent £23 on, | 0:36:05 | 0:36:09 | |
is that silver fruit knife. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:12 | |
Which, for £23, when you think about it, | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |
Georgian silver and genuine mother-of-pearl | 0:36:14 | 0:36:17 | |
and in pretty good nick, | 0:36:17 | 0:36:18 | |
is not a lot of money, is it? | 0:36:18 | 0:36:19 | |
No, I put £10-£15 on that, which I think is probably a bit mean. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:23 | |
The one real joy with this | 0:36:23 | 0:36:24 | |
is so many of these have been used to screw screws in or whatever, | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |
and you find that the blades are all mangled. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:29 | |
-But that's actually in quite nice order. -Isn't it? | 0:36:29 | 0:36:32 | |
And it might just go and tickle 30 quid or so. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:34 | |
Now to Kate's offering for Tim's ton. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:37 | |
And here it is. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:38 | |
Just to help you, I'm going to let you take it out, Kate, | 0:36:38 | 0:36:40 | |
and tell us about it. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:42 | |
So, inside we have... | 0:36:42 | 0:36:45 | |
a rather snugly fitting... | 0:36:45 | 0:36:47 | |
-An horsebox. -A horsebox. It's lovely. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:50 | |
It is a Dinky horsebox. It dates from the late '60s. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:56 | |
I bought it because it's in great order and I think it was a bargain. | 0:36:56 | 0:37:01 | |
So... | 0:37:01 | 0:37:03 | |
So I paid £60 for it, which sounds a lot, I know, for a Dinky toy, | 0:37:03 | 0:37:07 | |
but it's got its box | 0:37:07 | 0:37:09 | |
and you don't come across these in such good order every day. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:13 | |
What's Phil's opinion? | 0:37:13 | 0:37:15 | |
Dinky toys really aren't my thing. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:17 | |
-How'd you rate that Dinky toy? -I put £40-£60 on it. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:20 | |
But I just think that we all go back to our childhood, don't we? | 0:37:20 | 0:37:23 | |
You know, and... | 0:37:23 | 0:37:24 | |
-Some of us never left the childhood, Phil. -Yeah. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:26 | |
I just get carried away with this. | 0:37:26 | 0:37:28 | |
Imagine some boy in about 1960 opening that on Christmas Day. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:32 | |
He's treasured it, he's kept the box. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:34 | |
-You know, I just think, oh, that's lovely. -Your estimate's 40 to 60. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:37 | |
Kate paid £60. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:39 | |
And I'm predicting that it will have a bit of a problem. We shall see. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:43 | |
You're on the rostrum, | 0:37:43 | 0:37:44 | |
you're in good voice, you'll have a crowded sale. We look forward to it. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:48 | |
-Thank you, Phil. -Thanks, Tim. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:49 | |
I've got 200 bid. 200. 210. 220. 230. 240. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:54 | |
250. Thank you. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:55 | |
-Are you feeling cool, you two? -Oh, absolutely. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:58 | |
Now, the first lot coming up is going to be the hall chair. | 0:37:58 | 0:38:00 | |
And here it comes... | 0:38:00 | 0:38:01 | |
I think a lovely mahogany Gothic-style hall chair. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:05 | |
Bid me 50. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:06 | |
50 I am bid. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:07 | |
-50 bid. -Oh, 50 bid. Fantastic. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:09 | |
That's great. That's a profit. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:11 | |
60. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:12 | |
65. 65. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:14 | |
-70. 70 bid. -Fantastic. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:16 | |
At £70. And five now. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:17 | |
75. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:18 | |
80. | 0:38:18 | 0:38:20 | |
And five. 85. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:22 | |
-Excellent. -90. 90 bid. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:23 | |
At £90 only. At 90. At 95. | 0:38:23 | 0:38:27 | |
100. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:28 | |
At £100 only. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:30 | |
That is marvellous. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:31 | |
At £100. And done, then, at £100. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:35 | |
And done. Thank you. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:37 | |
Plus £60. That is an excellent first lot. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:39 | |
-Fantastic. -Well done, Jazz. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:41 | |
-Well done. -Well done, Diana. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:43 | |
Now, the jardiniere... | 0:38:43 | 0:38:44 | |
Lot number 306 is the Dalton Lambeth stoneware jardiniere. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:50 | |
Bid me £30. Quickly. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:51 | |
30 anywhere? | 0:38:51 | 0:38:52 | |
20 to start. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:56 | |
-Lee, help me out. £20 for the lot. -Come on. Come on. | 0:38:56 | 0:38:58 | |
Then I'm bid at ten. Ten bid. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:00 | |
Ten. Only ten. Ten bid. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:02 | |
£10 only. I'll take 12. 12 bid. £12. One more? | 0:39:02 | 0:39:05 | |
15. 15. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:06 | |
-It's creeping up, very slowly. -This is terrible, isn't it? | 0:39:06 | 0:39:10 | |
Where's the Dalton collectors? | 0:39:10 | 0:39:11 | |
At £15 only. At 15. Any more at all? | 0:39:11 | 0:39:15 | |
At £15. And I sell, then. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:17 | |
£15 is minus £13. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
That's not so hot. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:21 | |
Now, the seed drill, Christina. | 0:39:21 | 0:39:24 | |
The wooden horse-drawn seed drill. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:27 | |
I actually think this is quite a cool thing, this. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:29 | |
Who's got £100 to start? 100. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:32 | |
-Come on... -80. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:34 | |
You paid 85. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:35 | |
Bid me £50 someone. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:37 | |
A rural bygone. £50. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:40 | |
You don't have to take it home straightaway. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:42 | |
40, anyone? | 0:39:44 | 0:39:46 | |
-Lee, start me at £30. -Go on. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:47 | |
£30. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:50 | |
Who's got £20? | 0:39:51 | 0:39:53 | |
-What a roller-coaster! Oh...! -There's going to be trouble here. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:56 | |
Who's got a tenner? 10 I'm bid. At 10. 10 bid. | 0:39:56 | 0:39:59 | |
At £10. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
-He's going to sell it. -Is there any more? | 0:40:01 | 0:40:02 | |
He's going to sell it for £10. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:04 | |
At £10. Any more at all? | 0:40:04 | 0:40:06 | |
And done, then, at £10. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:07 | |
12 on the internet! | 0:40:07 | 0:40:09 | |
Hellfire! | 0:40:09 | 0:40:10 | |
Rob, 15. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:11 | |
15. 15. 15. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:14 | |
At £15 in the room. Any more at all? | 0:40:14 | 0:40:17 | |
At £15 and I sell, then, at £15. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:20 | |
And done. Thank you. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:22 | |
I'm sorry. You are minus £70 for that. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:25 | |
All resting on yours. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:26 | |
We made a little bit. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:28 | |
You made £47, you just lost 70 of that £47. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:32 | |
That's three off 50. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:34 | |
You have minus £23. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:36 | |
Oh... | 0:40:36 | 0:40:37 | |
Now, what are you going to do about the bonus buys? | 0:40:37 | 0:40:40 | |
Are you going to go with one or the other? | 0:40:40 | 0:40:42 | |
Are you going to go with the armillary jobbie, | 0:40:42 | 0:40:44 | |
or the blush Worcester pot, or what? | 0:40:44 | 0:40:47 | |
-Artillery -jobbie. Armillary. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:48 | |
-I'll go with that. -You're happy with that, Jazz? | 0:40:48 | 0:40:50 | |
OK, you're going with the armillary sphere. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:52 | |
It is Wonnacott's winner, in my view. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:54 | |
And we're going to sell the blush pot and cover anyway, | 0:40:54 | 0:40:58 | |
so that'll be lovely. | 0:40:58 | 0:40:59 | |
First up, though, is going to be the armillary sphere. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:02 | |
And here it comes... | 0:41:02 | 0:41:03 | |
313 is the armillary sphere. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:08 | |
I've got three bids on the book, two of them identical. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:11 | |
So I start at £120 bid. | 0:41:11 | 0:41:13 | |
At 120. 120. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:15 | |
At 120 bid. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:17 | |
At 120. At 120. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:18 | |
130. At £130 in the room. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:21 | |
At £130 in the room. Is there any more? | 0:41:21 | 0:41:25 | |
At £130. And I sell, then, at £130. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:28 | |
And done. Thank you. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
That is 130. That is plus £50. But you've made a £50 profit on that. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:35 | |
But we're going to sell the Tim's ton item, | 0:41:35 | 0:41:38 | |
the bit of Worcester. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:39 | |
And here it comes... | 0:41:39 | 0:41:40 | |
The little Royal Worcester blushed ivory patch box. There you are. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:44 | |
Again, I've got two identical bids. And I start at £40 only. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:49 | |
For the little patch box. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:50 | |
At 45. And 50. 50 bid. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:52 | |
And five. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:54 | |
And 60. 60 bid. And five? | 0:41:54 | 0:41:56 | |
At £60 only on the book bid. At 60. | 0:41:56 | 0:41:58 | |
Is there any more? | 0:41:58 | 0:42:00 | |
At £60. And I sell, then, at 60. | 0:42:00 | 0:42:02 | |
And done. Thank you. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:04 | |
You avoided the Worcester pot, which made it a loss of £5, | 0:42:04 | 0:42:08 | |
so you did the right thing there. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:09 | |
Overall, plus £27. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:11 | |
Now, the big thing is here not to say a word to the Blues, all right? | 0:42:11 | 0:42:15 | |
-Not a word to the Blues. -OK. | 0:42:15 | 0:42:16 | |
-Mum's the word. -Absolutely. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:19 | |
Anyway, brilliant. And we will reveal all later. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:22 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:23 | |
-Do you know how the Reds got on? -No. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:30 | |
No? Good. We don't want you to. | 0:42:30 | 0:42:32 | |
-How are you feeling about today's auction? OK? -Yeah, good. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:35 | |
Confident, Mick? | 0:42:35 | 0:42:36 | |
Well, I think the truth of the matter is | 0:42:36 | 0:42:38 | |
that we don't think we're going to do very well. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:40 | |
Oh, really? | 0:42:40 | 0:42:41 | |
Well, that's a nice note to start off with, isn't it? | 0:42:41 | 0:42:44 | |
Anyway, first up is the multitool in silver-coloured metal. £99 paid. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:48 | |
And here it comes... | 0:42:48 | 0:42:49 | |
There you are. Can't call it silver, | 0:42:49 | 0:42:51 | |
but we think it probably, possibly might be. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:53 | |
There we go. Not hallmarked. There you are. Bid me for that. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:56 | |
But a lovely thing. | 0:42:56 | 0:42:57 | |
Bid me £60. | 0:42:57 | 0:42:59 | |
This is a lovely thing. Bid me £30. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:02 | |
Uh-oh... | 0:43:02 | 0:43:03 | |
30 I'm bid. At £30. Only at 30. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:06 | |
And five. 35. | 0:43:06 | 0:43:07 | |
40. 40 bid. | 0:43:07 | 0:43:08 | |
£40. Is there any more at all? | 0:43:08 | 0:43:11 | |
That's for nothing. | 0:43:11 | 0:43:13 | |
It's a really lovely thing. At £40. | 0:43:13 | 0:43:15 | |
Only at 40. 50. 50 bid. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:17 | |
At £50 only. | 0:43:17 | 0:43:18 | |
-At 50. 50 bid. Any more at all? -Go on... | 0:43:18 | 0:43:21 | |
At £50. Any more? 60. | 0:43:21 | 0:43:23 | |
60 bid. 70. | 0:43:23 | 0:43:24 | |
At £70. Here's the bid. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:26 | |
At £70. And I sell, then, at £70. | 0:43:26 | 0:43:29 | |
And done. Thank you. | 0:43:29 | 0:43:31 | |
It's not as bad as it might have been. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:33 | |
That is minus £29. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:36 | |
Now the old boot... | 0:43:37 | 0:43:38 | |
I think this is lovely. There you are, the little treen shoe. | 0:43:38 | 0:43:41 | |
There you are, lovely thing. Bid me £50 to start. | 0:43:41 | 0:43:45 | |
Bid me £40 to start. | 0:43:46 | 0:43:47 | |
Bid me £30 someone. | 0:43:49 | 0:43:50 | |
Come on... | 0:43:50 | 0:43:51 | |
30 I am bid. At 30. 30 bid. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:53 | |
35. On the net. 40. | 0:43:53 | 0:43:55 | |
45. 45. | 0:43:55 | 0:43:57 | |
-50. 50 bid. -You are in profit. -Yes! -Well done. | 0:43:57 | 0:44:00 | |
£50. 55. One more, sir? | 0:44:00 | 0:44:02 | |
At 55 on the machine. | 0:44:02 | 0:44:04 | |
At £55 and done, then, at 55. | 0:44:04 | 0:44:07 | |
And done. Thank you. | 0:44:07 | 0:44:09 | |
Plus £15, which means you are now only minus 14. | 0:44:09 | 0:44:15 | |
Only 14. That's good. | 0:44:15 | 0:44:16 | |
Now, the decanter... | 0:44:16 | 0:44:18 | |
Lot number 329 is the decanter. There you are. Bid me for that lot. | 0:44:18 | 0:44:22 | |
Start me off. Bid me £50 or £60 to start. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:24 | |
30? | 0:44:27 | 0:44:28 | |
30 on the net bid. 30. 30 bid. | 0:44:30 | 0:44:32 | |
At £30 only. 30 bid. | 0:44:32 | 0:44:34 | |
At £30 only. | 0:44:34 | 0:44:36 | |
Is there any more? | 0:44:36 | 0:44:37 | |
At £30. It's had its time. And it's done, then, at £30. | 0:44:37 | 0:44:41 | |
And done. Thank you. | 0:44:41 | 0:44:43 | |
Disaster. £30 is minus £50, | 0:44:43 | 0:44:45 | |
which means you are overall minus 64. | 0:44:45 | 0:44:48 | |
Oh, no! | 0:44:48 | 0:44:50 | |
We were right. | 0:44:50 | 0:44:51 | |
Well, now, what are we going to do about this bonus-buy business? | 0:44:51 | 0:44:54 | |
-Sorry, chaps. -You've got the choice of the Georgian silver knife | 0:44:54 | 0:44:57 | |
or the Dinky horsebox. | 0:44:57 | 0:44:59 | |
Or nothing. | 0:44:59 | 0:45:00 | |
OK. | 0:45:00 | 0:45:02 | |
It's up to you. | 0:45:02 | 0:45:03 | |
Oh, what the hell? | 0:45:03 | 0:45:05 | |
-You're going for the penknife, then? -That's not the attitude! | 0:45:06 | 0:45:09 | |
-All right? You want to go for... -I've lost the will to live. | 0:45:09 | 0:45:11 | |
-Shall we go for the penknife, then? -OK. | 0:45:13 | 0:45:15 | |
We're going to go for the penknife. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:16 | |
We're going with the penknife. | 0:45:16 | 0:45:17 | |
And now you've made your choice, | 0:45:17 | 0:45:19 | |
I can tell you my choice is the penknife. | 0:45:19 | 0:45:21 | |
Anyway, we've all selected the penknife, | 0:45:21 | 0:45:23 | |
we're all trusting Kate, and that is what we are going to sell first. | 0:45:23 | 0:45:27 | |
And here it comes... | 0:45:27 | 0:45:28 | |
Lot number 335 is this lovely little Georgian fruit knife. There you are. | 0:45:28 | 0:45:33 | |
Silver and mother-of-pearl. Bid me for this. £30 to start me. | 0:45:33 | 0:45:37 | |
30. 20 to go, someone. | 0:45:37 | 0:45:40 | |
20. I am bid at 20. | 0:45:40 | 0:45:41 | |
And five. One more, madam? | 0:45:41 | 0:45:44 | |
-30, may I? -Go on! | 0:45:44 | 0:45:46 | |
At 30, is it? 30 I am bid. It's 30 bid. | 0:45:46 | 0:45:49 | |
Five, sir. | 0:45:49 | 0:45:50 | |
35. At 35. 35. Any more? | 0:45:50 | 0:45:53 | |
You're in profit, anyway. | 0:45:53 | 0:45:54 | |
At £35. | 0:45:54 | 0:45:56 | |
Front row, and I sell, then, at 35. And done. Thank you. | 0:45:56 | 0:46:00 | |
£35 is plus £12. | 0:46:00 | 0:46:01 | |
Now, will the horsebox bring a profit? | 0:46:01 | 0:46:03 | |
This'll be interesting. | 0:46:03 | 0:46:05 | |
We didn't go with it, but we're going to sell it anyway. And here it comes... | 0:46:05 | 0:46:08 | |
Meccano horsebox. There you are. Nice lot. | 0:46:08 | 0:46:12 | |
Interest on the book. | 0:46:12 | 0:46:14 | |
I start at £30. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:16 | |
Bid five. 35. 40. 40 bid. | 0:46:16 | 0:46:18 | |
Five. 45. At 45. | 0:46:18 | 0:46:20 | |
£45. 50. 50 bid. | 0:46:20 | 0:46:22 | |
Five on the net if you want it. At £50 only. At 50 bid. | 0:46:22 | 0:46:26 | |
Wait, five. 55. 60 now. | 0:46:26 | 0:46:27 | |
At £55. There's the bid. Any more at all? | 0:46:27 | 0:46:31 | |
At £55. And I sell, then, at £55. | 0:46:31 | 0:46:35 | |
And done. Thank you. | 0:46:35 | 0:46:37 | |
-£55, then, team. There we are. -We did the right thing. | 0:46:37 | 0:46:40 | |
-Minus -£5. Not so much for the decanter. | 0:46:40 | 0:46:42 | |
There is but a whisker in all these things, really. | 0:46:42 | 0:46:46 | |
You happened to select the right one. That is plus £12. | 0:46:46 | 0:46:49 | |
You were minus 64 before that, | 0:46:49 | 0:46:50 | |
which means you are now minus 52. | 0:46:50 | 0:46:54 | |
But you didn't go with the horsebox, and that was the right decision. | 0:46:54 | 0:46:57 | |
-It was. -So, there we go. | 0:46:57 | 0:46:58 | |
Now, the thing is that minus 52 could be a winning score. | 0:46:58 | 0:47:00 | |
Say nothing to the Reds and all will be revealed in a moment. | 0:47:00 | 0:47:04 | |
-Well, teams, this has been fun, hasn't it? -Yeah. -Has it been fun? | 0:47:10 | 0:47:14 | |
It has been enormous fun. | 0:47:14 | 0:47:16 | |
All this artistry for our special programme. | 0:47:16 | 0:47:18 | |
Marvellous. | 0:47:18 | 0:47:19 | |
So, there is a chasm between the teams today. | 0:47:19 | 0:47:22 | |
Quite a big, old chasm. | 0:47:22 | 0:47:24 | |
And the runners-up, by a huge margin, | 0:47:24 | 0:47:26 | |
are the Blues, with minus £52. | 0:47:26 | 0:47:29 | |
Which is bad luck, isn't it? Didn't go your way, really, did it? | 0:47:29 | 0:47:31 | |
-No, not really. -Not really. | 0:47:31 | 0:47:32 | |
-We suspected it wouldn't. -You did. | 0:47:32 | 0:47:35 | |
-You did. -I had such high hopes. -Did you? | 0:47:35 | 0:47:37 | |
-I know. -Hope springs eternal. | 0:47:37 | 0:47:38 | |
Anyway, you've been great contestants, | 0:47:38 | 0:47:40 | |
we've loved having you on the show. | 0:47:40 | 0:47:41 | |
But the victors today | 0:47:41 | 0:47:43 | |
-are actually going home with folding money, with £27. -Oh, wow! | 0:47:43 | 0:47:46 | |
OK? | 0:47:46 | 0:47:47 | |
There's your £27. | 0:47:47 | 0:47:49 | |
£25 there, look. | 0:47:49 | 0:47:50 | |
And a couple of smackers coming up. | 0:47:50 | 0:47:52 | |
There you go. £27. | 0:47:52 | 0:47:55 | |
-It wasn't going very well... -No. | 0:47:55 | 0:47:57 | |
You got to minus 23. | 0:47:57 | 0:47:59 | |
It could have been a lot worse, | 0:47:59 | 0:48:01 | |
when up came Christina with her armillary sphere. | 0:48:01 | 0:48:05 | |
-That was brilliant. -£50 of profit. That was good, wasn't it? -Excellent. | 0:48:05 | 0:48:08 | |
-Very, very good news. You happy, Jazz? -Very. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:11 | |
-You happy, Christina? -Ecstatic. | 0:48:11 | 0:48:12 | |
And that is the right answer. | 0:48:12 | 0:48:14 | |
No, seriously, you've had a lovely time, we've had a lovely time. | 0:48:14 | 0:48:17 | |
In fact, it's been so lovely, | 0:48:17 | 0:48:18 | |
why don't you join us soon for some more bargain-hunting? | 0:48:18 | 0:48:21 | |
-Yes? ALL: -Yes! | 0:48:21 | 0:48:22 |
