0:00:07 > 0:00:10Today, we are at the Royal Welsh Showground
0:00:10 > 0:00:14for a one-hour long special version of Bargain Hunt,
0:00:14 > 0:00:18featuring swimmers and lifeguards.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20But will they sink or will they swim?
0:00:20 > 0:00:22There's only one way to find out.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52For today's 60-minute,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55action-packed special,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58we fiddled about with the format a bit,
0:00:58 > 0:01:00which you'll find out about later.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05But right now, let's dive straight in - and that's a hint -
0:01:05 > 0:01:08and have a squint at what's coming up.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12The strapping lifeguards go all girlie.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Just hold that for a second.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Oh, that's cruel!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Whilst the Blues have an identity crisis,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23replacing swimming goggles for something racier.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25So, I'm not swimming, I'm going vroom, vroom!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28'And there is a crisis down at the auction room.'
0:01:28 > 0:01:31But are these girls going to turn up? Who knows?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33'But first, let's all get acquainted.'
0:01:33 > 0:01:38Well, today our teams about to take the plunge
0:01:38 > 0:01:41include a pair of lifeguards - Phil and Sam -
0:01:41 > 0:01:46and for the girls, a pair of wild swimmers - Cath and Sarah.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hello.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- Lovely to see you. Now, Phil.- Hello.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- You are a lifeguard.- I am. - You are in West Wales.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Is that like being in California?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59It is like being in California, just without the weather.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Just without the weather.- So, you are a keen surfer yourself?
0:02:01 > 0:02:02I am, I am.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Yeah, I do enjoy the waves and sort of travelling to find them,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08sort of the perfect waves, yeah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Oh, you go around the world a bit, do you?- In my younger days.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12In my younger days, yeah,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15we did travel through sort of Australia and Indonesia and so on.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Yeah. Now, Sam, you are a lifeguard and you love your surfing, too,
0:02:19 > 0:02:20- is that right?- Yeah, yeah.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Now, you are interested in photography, tell us about that.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Yeah, I like to keep in track of where I've been and stuff
0:02:27 > 0:02:30and taking sort of memories, memory photos.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Do you collect anything?- Um, yeah,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35I've got some old cameras that I keep in my house
0:02:35 > 0:02:37from my grandad, my father and my brother.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Your father passed down these old cameras.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41They're quite stylish objects in their own right.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- And nice to have about, actually.- Yeah.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45What are you going to be looking for between you
0:02:45 > 0:02:47today when you get out shopping?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Well, I'd like to think there is some sort of old retro toys
0:02:50 > 0:02:51out there.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- You're going to go for the toys. - Yeah, I think so.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54That's a bit of a challenge.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57You never know what you'll find in Builth Wells. It's a great fair.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Good luck with that.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Now, Cath, tell me about this wild swimming. What is all this about?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06OK, it's basically swimming anywhere that is not in the pool -
0:03:06 > 0:03:11outdoors, whether it be lakes, the sea, rivers, quarries...
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Don't get bitten by a pike in a lake or anything like that.- No.- Quite.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17So, was it swimming that brought you two girls together?
0:03:17 > 0:03:22- No, Sarah was my tutor with the police.- Right.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- You are in the right coloured team then, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Our girls in blue. Sarah, do you still work with the cops?
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- No, I don't, no.- What happened? You gave them up?- I gave them up, yeah.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33- Did you?- Yeah.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35So, what do you get up to now?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Predominantly now, I am a swimming coach, a swimming teacher.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Swimming is, would you say, the major force in your life?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Yes. Yeah, it has been for a long, long time.- Yeah.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Cos you are very modest,
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- but you were the police swimming champion, right?- Yes, I was, yeah.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51So that is a big old thing.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Yeah, the World Police and Fire Games in 2007.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Well, there we go. And where did that happen?- In Adelaide, Australia.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Well, there you go! Don't feel too sad about that.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03So, all-expenses-paid trip to Adelaide, eh?
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- No, I paid all my expenses. - Yeah, yeah, yeah(!)
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- I did, but it was very... Well, it was worthwhile.- Good.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15And what sort of things are you going to be after today, Sarah?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- I am going to be looking out for frogs.- Are you?- Yes.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Why particularly frogs?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23It has always been my sort of nickname because, as a kid,
0:04:23 > 0:04:24I was a breast stroke swimmer,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26which obviously we call a frog stroke.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Yes.- And it has gone on from there.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31So what are your tactics today, then, girls?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Quirky.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Something different. - Something usual.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- We want it to jump out and say, "Buy me."- Like a frog.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Like a frog, all right. Well, you never know, do you?- You never know.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45In these glorious places. Anyway, now the £300 moment.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Here is your 300 smackers.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- £300 coming up. There you go, sir. - Thank you very much.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Thank you very much, Sam. You know the rules. Your experts await.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54And off you go!
0:04:54 > 0:04:55And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00So, as our teams dive into the bountiful beauty,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03the two people hoping to save them from the rising tide...
0:05:05 > 0:05:08For the Reds, Caroline Hawley certainly has the bottle.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12And Colin Young is practising his brush stroke for the Blues.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15So, if we are going to win, what are we going to buy?
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Something quirky.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20I'm hoping to find some old toys from my childhood days.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- A bit of nostalgia. - A bit of nostalgia.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Yeah, something unusual, pretty.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- And what about you, Sam? - Anything quirky with a sort of...
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- With an interesting back story, I think.- Right.
0:05:31 > 0:05:3360 minutes on the clock.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Time starts now!
0:05:34 > 0:05:36OK, let's see what we can find.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38We have got hundreds of stalls to look at,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- so let's go bargain hunting. - OK.- Let's go bargain hunting!
0:05:40 > 0:05:45Watch out you don't get any hassle off the dealers, eh, teams?
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Only a few seconds in
0:05:47 > 0:05:50and our lifeguards have already spotted a toy store.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- That's cool.- What's cool? - The little old...
0:05:53 > 0:05:57That is a little doll's sort of push chair.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Yeah, like a little pram.- Yeah.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02It is about 1920s, isn't it? I would think.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05The whole thing collapses down. There is a little pin in here.
0:06:05 > 0:06:12And you just pull the bar towards you and it collapses together.
0:06:12 > 0:06:18- And two clips here, so that the arms move from there.- Oh!
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- That is good.- Quite genius, actually.- Yeah.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24And I could see doll collectors, teddy collectors with that.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- That is what we are hoping, isn't it?- That is what we are hoping.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29We are hoping for a good price. What price is it?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I was asking 165 for it.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35I think the money is too much.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39It needs to be quite a lot less. What could you do?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- 125 would be the best.- 125.- Yeah. - I think it needs to be 100.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Yeah. I think we might have to keep going.- What do you want to do?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48We'll have a wander about and we'll come back.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- OK, thank you so much. - Yeah, we might come back.- Thank you.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Indecision and delay are dangerous tactics in this game.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58It looks like someone is eyeing up their first potential purchase.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00No pressure, boys.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03The lady that is looking at it doesn't look like a dealer to me.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06She looks like a collector. A private collector.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Probably a doll, teddy collector.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12And I think you need to make a decision now if you want it.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Let's get in there, I reckon.- Yeah. Shall we?- Yeah.- Good choice.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Go on, go in and get it. OK.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Yeah, now that we've seen somebody else looking at it,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- we've made the decision. - You've made the best decision.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- We'll have it off you.- Yeah. - Great, so thank you very much.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27First bargain of the day. First bargain of the day.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Nice one, Phil. First deal done at £120.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Meanwhile, our swimmers seem to have made a bit of a false start.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37It's only a pound.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- THEY LAUGH No.- No? Not your sort of...- No.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46- Would you be surprised at the price? - Yes.- That's a definite no, then?- No.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47OK. Good system -
0:07:47 > 0:07:51is there something that really does jump off the table at you?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54You might see a frog, it might just jump out at you.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Well, something is going to have to jump out at you
0:07:57 > 0:07:59if you want to get ahead.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I've spotted something. Swimming goggles.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Swimming goggles?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Yeah, early swimming goggles.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08We are now into my territory - motorcycle helmets and goggles.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Motorcycle helmet and goggles.- Yeah.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- What sort of money are you looking for on this?- 40 for the two.- 40?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- OK.- Shall I try them on?- Go for it.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18See if they look good.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I'm not going swimming, I'm going vroom, vroom!
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Time to get the helmet. - Let's have a go.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Oh, it looks rather small.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Just your colour, madam. - It suits you.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33THEY LAUGH
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Do think we could make lots of money? That's the part...
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I think there is a bit of money in that.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Obviously, try and get a little bit knocked off it.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44But if you're not sure about it, let's keep it in mind.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46We have got plenty of time left.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49We know where they are, we know what they are.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- So, where would this have been made? - It looks like it was 1950s, 1960s.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56So are we asking for a better price?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- You are starting to warm to this now, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- I want to make some money. - If you like them, go on.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- No, we'll have a look around. - Have a look.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- We'll maybe come back to...- OK. - ..your love after.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Decision-making isn't one of your strong points, is it, girls?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Come along now, keep up.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Meanwhile, it is boys with toys with the Reds again.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Oh, Phil, that is lovely.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25"Jack Sharp - Liverpool, Made in England."
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- No way!- How much is it? - It is like 50.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- I think 50 is quite a lot of money. - Yeah, for this.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Hm, probably best you kick that one into touch, Phil.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I see a bit of a theme here, fellas.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- He really is into his toys, Phil, isn't he?- I know.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42That is a Meccano crane.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- I don't know whether it is in good enough condition.- No.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46I don't think it is.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49And as we know, chaps, condition is everything in this game.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Any chance of you boys thinking outside the toy box?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Flying pigs.- Pigs might fly. - Pigs might fly.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Yeah, and the Blues might make a decision.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01We don't want those. Shovels and tools.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Anything you've seen yet, Sarah?
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Come on, Blues, I think it is time you shelled out on something.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09We see too many of them. No.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- Are you sure you don't want to go for it?- No! No.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14It is quirky and different.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17How much would you spend on it if that was in an auction
0:10:17 > 0:10:21and you thought, "Well, it is going cheap, I'll have a go."
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Probably only about 20. - Probably only about 20.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- It is going to be worth a fair bit more than that.- Is it?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Yeah, it is. It is actually a copy of Palissy ware.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- OK, I didn't know that. - Which is very popular.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36But nevertheless, it is still a decorative dish.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- I'm just going to have to ask the price.- Yeah, go on.- 70.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42£70, is it? Yeah, OK.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45So there probably isn't much margin in it.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- There is certainly more than the £20 you'd spend on it, but...- OK.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- OK? Give it a miss?- Yes, please.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Well, you are going to start to feel the pinch
0:10:54 > 0:10:55if you don't get a wiggle on.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Back with the Reds,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00and Caroline may have found something that Sam will snap up.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05That's part of your collection, Sam, your collection of cameras.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09It's on a tripod. We have got a little compass here.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10I think this is so cool!
0:11:10 > 0:11:13It is like a James Bond type thing.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17And then to light, you do that and it flicks up.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19But how cool would that be?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21You'd be a real James Bond character in your...
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- And tchs!- Oh, yeah.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Lighting the fire or something, cos we don't smoke.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27You wouldn't do us a deal for a tenner, would you?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- No, I'm sorry, the deal is 15.- 15?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- You can't budge? Come on. - No, I'm sorry.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- You've got to go down a bit. - We can look for other things.- Yeah.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Oh, well, chaps, it is certainly ain't no picnic, this shopping lark.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Ah-ha, we know what you are looking at.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- She's honing in, I can see that. - Look how pretty this one is!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- It is all in its original package, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Oh, but it's got a break.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55My gut feeling on it is it is one of the better sets that I've seen,
0:11:55 > 0:11:59and the price reflects it, but I think we are probably just going to
0:11:59 > 0:12:01get knocked away a little bit
0:12:01 > 0:12:03because of that little bit of damage.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06So my advice on this occasion would be walk away from it.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09But for every reason you walked to it, I appreciate,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11cos it is a really good item.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Let's go. Take me away. - Come on.- Thank you.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19So, half-an-hour to go and our Blues are swimming against the tide,
0:12:19 > 0:12:20still no buys.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- No.- No? Sorry.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Are we the most un-decisive people you've ever seen?- Oh, no!
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Hm, a tactful approach, Colin.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32It is definitely time to bag something for the girls.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Speaking of which...
0:12:34 > 0:12:37What sort of price is that?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I'm open to offers on that one.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Right.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Now, that is silver.- Yeah.
0:12:44 > 0:12:50And the chain should be silver as well. This lovely chainmail.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- It is like it is armour coated. - Yeah, it is.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57But the important thing with this is to check that the metalwork
0:12:57 > 0:13:00is in good order. And I think it is, isn't it?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03And then there is the hallmark there,
0:13:03 > 0:13:04which I think we need to look at.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Yeah, it is 925.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Just marked 925 there.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16What sort of year or date would that be from?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Well, they were made quite a lot in the 1920s.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- And you can see them with the sort of flapper style dress.- Yeah.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Look, can you see? There is a little bit of damage there.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Yeah, and there as well. - And there. Just a tiny bit.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33You see, you've got to look very, very carefully.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36It could do to be about £30 or £40, really,
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- but I am sure it won't be.- Yeah.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- I think that is worth that sort of...- Yeah.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Excuse me. What is the absolute best on this, please?
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- You tell me, what sort of... - 40.- 40? Well, we were just...
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Funnily enough, we were just saying we could go 30 on it,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55if you would accept 30.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- I don't want it, you can have it. - £30? Are you happy?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- I think we should, yeah. - Can we just...?
0:14:01 > 0:14:06- Can you just hold that for a sec, son?- Oh! That's cruel.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11Oh, suits you, Sam. Well done, Reds, that is your second item.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13One more to go.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Now then, here is something that has been a bone of contention.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22If you saw this sticking out of the ground,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25it would be pretty obvious what it is, wouldn't it?
0:14:25 > 0:14:29OK, what we have got is a bone joint
0:14:29 > 0:14:33found here, in Builth Wells.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34OK.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38But this is no ordinary old bone
0:14:38 > 0:14:42because if I reveal this section of the shaft,
0:14:42 > 0:14:46you can see it has got an original pen-and-ink inscription.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50And that inscription says, "Found 17 feet
0:14:50 > 0:14:56"deep in the bed of the Thames when building Hungerford Bridge."
0:14:56 > 0:15:01Do a bit of research and you will find that the Hungerford Bridge was
0:15:01 > 0:15:07built in 1845 by Britain's greatest Victorian engineer -
0:15:07 > 0:15:09young Brunel.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12So, how old is this bone?
0:15:12 > 0:15:17Potentially, this bone was dropped overboard in the Thames
0:15:17 > 0:15:19when the Romans were there.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24Now, the really weird thing about this bone is that at that time,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26maybe 2,000 years ago, it was altered.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31The bone was cut and then deliberately shaved
0:15:31 > 0:15:36so that you get a roughly rectangular section now at the end.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39And then, that was hollowed out to make a socket.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43But what was the purpose of hollowing out that end
0:15:43 > 0:15:45and shaping it in this way?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49I thought I'd canvas a few bone experts
0:15:49 > 0:15:52and get their view on what the mystery object was used for.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57First up was Roy Stephenson, from the Museum of London.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00But I do know what it is, Tim. It is what is called a pinner's bone.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02And you can see these little edges.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05A person sitting at home would be putting little shanks
0:16:05 > 0:16:09of metal into those, tying them into place with wire
0:16:09 > 0:16:13and putting a sharp point on the end of a pin.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16And that phrase - doing things for pin money -
0:16:16 > 0:16:20this is the accessory that goes with doing things for pin money.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22OK, so it might be a pin bone.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Next I asked Emma-Kate Lanyon at Shrewsbury Museum.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30What intrigues me as well is these scratches at the end.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31They look very purposeful.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36And whether they were used to record a tally or something,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38to count up, I don't know,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40but it looks as if they are definitely meant to be there.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- So possibly a tally bone.- Yes. - With a hole in the end.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50'And finally, I asked Jeremy Lamond, from the local auction house.'
0:16:50 > 0:16:54I just looked at it and thought knitting sheaths,
0:16:54 > 0:17:00and those are for the needle that you put under your arm as a spare
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- needle as you are knitting.- Yes. - And it is the right shape.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I have seen plenty of knitting sheaths, and they look like this.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07So, we have got a number of theories.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11One is that it is a pin bone for sharpening up pins.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I don't really go with that one.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17The other is that it might be a handle and/or a tally.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20But my vote goes for the Jeremy Lamond theory,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23which is that it is a knitting sheath.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25No-one can pull the wool over my eyes, Tim.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28You are absolutely right.
0:17:30 > 0:17:3220 minutes left, girls.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Now, I'm not going to make any bones about it - ha -
0:17:35 > 0:17:38you need to get a move on. You still haven't bought anything.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Now, lads, you bought a toy rickshaw and a handbag.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43How do you think it is going?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45We bought well. Yeah, we're enjoying it.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- I think we've bought well, mate, haven't we?- Yeah, I think so.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I think...
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Certainly stuff I probably wouldn't take home for myself,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54but I think people might buy in auction, yeah.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Phil bought the first buy within minutes,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00really early in into the shops, probably six minutes in, I think.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03And then I have been dragging him away from toy shops ever
0:18:03 > 0:18:08since and managed to persuade them to buy a nice bit of silver.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12So we have still got bags of time, we've got one item left to get.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15But it is looking really good. They're great.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17All very positive, Caroline.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Oh, hold on, I spoke too soon. More toys, boys?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Very collectible.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24"Not suitable for children under 14."
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- You are OK there, Phil.- Just.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Step away from the teddy, boys.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Thank you. Cheers.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Meanwhile, could the Blues finally be singing from the same hymn sheet?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37They stumbled across a walnut music cabinet.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Ticket price, £85.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42And it comes with its own music scores.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Is it sellable?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45It is certainly saleable. It is certainly
0:18:45 > 0:18:47not as saleable as they used to be.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Hence why...the asking price that is on it.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53But nevertheless, it is a really good late Victorian piece,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55good mahogany.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Very lived in, very much used.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00But it is really whether you fancy it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01If you do fancy it,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04then you would need to do a fair bit of negotiation on it.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06THE DEALER LAUGHS
0:19:06 > 0:19:08But it is whether you like it or not, that's the key.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13- If you get me a seat, I'll just sit down.- Is this some...?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Is this original stuff that goes with it?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Is there some violin music here that we can use to
0:19:17 > 0:19:19sort of pull on the heartstrings?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- I could do with some sweet soul music.- You could.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- What is your very, very best price on that?- What would you like to pay me?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Let's get realistic.- £60.
0:19:30 > 0:19:3165, yours.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I have got 14 children in care at the moment.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Oh, Lordy, you should definitely sit down then.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42My suggestion would be - stick with your guns at 60
0:19:42 > 0:19:44and worth a gamble.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Worth a gamble.- £60, please?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- OK.- Shake on it.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54And that is music to my ears. Now, only two to go. No pressure, girls.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- At last.- One down.
0:19:57 > 0:20:0020 minutes left on the clock, Reds.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Ever get the sense of deja vu?
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Check this other lot.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06We have already been here with the Blues.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08An original Thermos picnic set.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Oh, that's nice. - Really cool, isn't it?
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Great.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- Would these be glass inside there as well? Glass flasks.- Yes, yes.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Oh, look at the condition of this.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21It is completely unused.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23It has got the instructions and stuff inside it.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Crockery around the field.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27The actual lunch boxes, they are even un-opened.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30They've got the original cellophane or whatever on top of them.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33That's the newspaper from the day they sold it, isn't it?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36It's from the '50s, I would think.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37That is nice. Look.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39But the only problem is this here.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Which is annoying because it has never been used. How much is it?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46£110.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51Well, I can't see anyone paying over 100 for it at auction.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- No, I can't.- No.- Thank you. - I would stretch to 70.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58You would stretch to 70. You wouldn't stretch to 60?
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Go on, then. Yeah?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- £60.- Nice!
0:21:01 > 0:21:04We'd love to take the picnic set.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08That is lunch sorted, and the Reds have all their items in the bag.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12But the Blues still have two items find.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16You have the patience of a saint today, Colin, how is it going?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I think shopping is going really well, actually,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21because we have got some bankers there that we can go back to,
0:21:21 > 0:21:22so there isn't too much stress,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25apart from the fact that I might actually have to run.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27That is the only thing that is really worrying me on the shop.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29We are going back to look at something that is
0:21:29 > 0:21:32really where we started, so we're going to have to run.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Yeah, we're going to go back for the goggles, isn't it?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37We are going back for the goggles. And it would be nice to find
0:21:37 > 0:21:41something that we haven't yet looked at. Um...
0:21:41 > 0:21:44But it's time. We're going to do it!
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Chop, chop, Colin.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Actually, if we run backwards,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50they might actually put the clock in reverse.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51- OK.- You never know your luck.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Table and chairs.- No.- No.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- No? You su...? You keep going, I'll look at the price.- OK.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00I'll keep coming with you.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07- Your frogs. Would you like to have a look?- I've got to have a look.- OK.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Look!
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- Sorry, I am instantly drawn to frogs.- There we go.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16It is actually a solid cast piece.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Is it riveted, Colin?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Yep, they are modern, they are not going to make masses of money,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- what do you like it?- I do.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25As you can see, it is not just the fact that they have got frogs.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29A candlestick as well. So they are actually a usable thing.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31But having that within the body of it just makes it that
0:22:31 > 0:22:33little bit more collectible.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I hear there are plenty of collectors of frog things
0:22:35 > 0:22:37out there. And there is one here.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40So if there is one here, there is a pretty good chance -
0:22:40 > 0:22:41we've a one in three chance -
0:22:41 > 0:22:44plenty of buyers at auction are going to be interested in it.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- So I think that is going to be OK. - Good.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- You know, if the price is right. - Go on, how much is it?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52You can have that for £25.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Ten.- 15 and you can have it.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Do you think it will make money at 15?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59I think it shouldn't make us a loss.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- I'd agree.- 12?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Give me that fence to sit on.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08- Please!- OK.- Thank you! 12.- Well done.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I can't believe she is bidding for my frogs.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15Good work, Blues. Is that a hop too far? We'll find out at the auction.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Five minutes left now. No, I'm not croaking. Get it?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Joking. OK, never mind.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Back to those goggles.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Can we make you a really bad offer
0:23:27 > 0:23:30of sort of £20?
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Any use?
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- I'll meet you halfway at 30. - Halfway at 30?
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Do you want to go for it at that?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- Yeah.- Halfway again? 25?
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- It cost me 25 quid, I've got to make a living.- 27.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- I'll stick at 30.- OK.- 30 is fine.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- You ladies want to go for it?- Yeah.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Yeah, that's it, we've got a deal.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Time's up!
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Is it going to be boom or is it going to be bust?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Well done, Blues, you got there in the end.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Now then, let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:23:58 > 0:24:03First up, they wheel a child's rickshaw away for £120.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Then they pursued the purse for £30.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10And finally, the picnic set cost them £60.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15So, how was the trail for toys for you?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Plenty of selection, great fun and there was plenty out there.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Just a shame we didn't have more time to play with the toys.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Yeah, you can't moan about the time, though, not really. Brilliant.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Anyway, Phil, which is your favourite piece?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Mine has got to be the Thermos picnic set that we picked up.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31It was an original, unused picnic set, nice condition.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33So I think we're going to do OK with that one.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- Is it going to bring the biggest profit?- Um...
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I'm going to say I reckon the purse might bring the biggest profit
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- that we got.- Yeah, I'm going to go with the picnic set.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46OK, fine. Well, there are our predictions.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- How much did you spend all told? - BOTH: £210.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- I'd like £90 of leftover lolly, please.- Yep, there you go.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54That goes straight to Caroline. There you go.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- There is your £90.- Thank you.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59And in addition, for our special programme, you get Tim's Ton.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- That is the additional £100... - Thank you, Tim.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- ..for the extra bonus buy.- Yep.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06And if you wouldn't mind bringing them back to me
0:25:06 > 0:25:09to have a bird's-eye at, that would be lovely, Caroline.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Thank you very much. Team, relax. Meanwhile, we are going to check out
0:25:12 > 0:25:14what the Blue team bought, aren't we?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Their first item was the music cabinet.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18They paid £60.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Next up, Sarah was hopping with joy over the candelabrum.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25They paid £12.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28And finally, they had a giggle over the goggles
0:25:28 > 0:25:31and motorcycle helmet, and paid £30.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Now, girls... Which is your favourite piece, Sarah?
0:25:34 > 0:25:38- My favourite piece is the frogs. - OK. Do you agree with that?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Um, I like the frogs, but I think my favourite piece was the helmet
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- and goggles.- OK. Are they going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I think they're going to bring the biggest profit.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- OK. Helmet and goggles. Frog? - No, helmet and goggles.- All right.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- That is going to get the most profit.- All right, lovely.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56I know you girls like to go out and spend a bundle,
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- but how much did you spend? - £102.- That's nothing, is it?- No.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03£198 of leftover lolly, please.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Thank you very much.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Well, this is a good day's wages, isn't it? Look at that.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- Over to you, then, Colin. - Thank you very much.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13What are you going to spend it on?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15I think we have got to go for something a little bit
0:26:15 > 0:26:17in the range of quality.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Seeing as we have got the quantity in the money,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- quality in the object.- OK, fine. Well, you're going to add to that
0:26:21 > 0:26:23because I'm going to give you Tim's Ton
0:26:23 > 0:26:27for our special 60-minute programme. You get an extra £100
0:26:27 > 0:26:31for Tim's Ton bonus buy, so a double challenge there, Colin.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Meanwhile, why don't we find out how Caroline Hawley is
0:26:34 > 0:26:38getting on with her purchases of her bonus buys?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Don't forget, Caroline, you have £90 for your bonus buy.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46And for this 60-minute special, you have the extra Tim's Ton.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- So, this camera lighter.- Yes.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57What is your very, very, very best price, please?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Well, really, it is 15.- Is it?
0:27:00 > 0:27:05- Yes. But if you keep on, I'll knock a pound off.- Oh...
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Are you always so...? - For good nature.- For good nature?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- Whose good nature?- Yours.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Certainly not yours!
0:27:12 > 0:27:17- Oh, is that all? - Yeah, I'm sorry because...
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- I think you'll do well with it. - Do you?- Yes, I do, certainly.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- OK, I'll take your word for it. I'll have it.- Thank you very much.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Great stuff. I think Sam will be chuffed you snapped that one up.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Even though I had lots of money left,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32this thing was just a no-brainer.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Sam loved it.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36And I think at £14, there is
0:27:36 > 0:27:38a jolly good chance it is going to make a profit.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I don't know how much.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42If I had to put money on it, I would say it'd make £10,
0:27:42 > 0:27:44but it might make more.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Now, what is going to tempt you for Tim's Ton?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Maybe a set of napkin rings.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Ticket price - £125.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Could I offer you 75 for them?
0:27:58 > 0:27:59You can offer me 75... Um...
0:28:02 > 0:28:04I'll start off at 90.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06- 90?- Yeah.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10That's a bit better, yeah, that's a bit better.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- I love them. 85 and you've got a deal?- OK.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19- Thank you.- OK.- Thank you.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Well, that was quick work.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26I've decided to buy these fabulous napkin rings - set of six,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29pewter, all completely different.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33We've got the arachnid here, we've got the fruit, the ivy.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37They are all painted differently on the inside.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40They're about 1900, 1910,
0:28:40 > 0:28:44I would say. Absolutely beautiful.
0:28:44 > 0:28:49So, let's have a good butcher's at what you bought, Caroline.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Now, Caroline, I gave you £90 for the team's bonus buy.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Tell us about what you bought.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59- I bought this fabulous little miniature camera.- Uh-huh.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03Which is actually a cigarette lighter. It's Japanese.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Look, a little compass in it.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Press this. Isn't that fabulous?
0:29:09 > 0:29:10It is delightful, isn't it?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- A bit of Four Star in there, you'll be fine.- Yeah.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- And how much did you spend?- £14.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20I've seen them sell at auction, sort of virgin, new and unused,
0:29:20 > 0:29:22for just under £100.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23So I think, quite frankly,
0:29:23 > 0:29:26if you spent 14, you've done extraordinarily well.
0:29:26 > 0:29:31- Tim's Ton. I gave you £100 and you bought this group here.- Yes.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- I did.- How much did you spend? - I spent 85.- Did you?
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- And I think it was 85 very well spent.- OK, fine.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Now, I have got to make my prediction as to which of these is
0:29:39 > 0:29:44going to bring, in proportion to the purchase price, the largest profit.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48And I have to say, without shadow, hesitation or repetition,
0:29:48 > 0:29:52that your Japanese miniature camera lighter is going to
0:29:52 > 0:29:56bring by far the largest profit.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- Happy with that?- Happy.- OK. It is only a prediction after all.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03Now, why don't we have a look at how poor Colin Young is
0:30:03 > 0:30:06getting on with the Blue team's bonus buys?
0:30:08 > 0:30:09Now, Colin, remember,
0:30:09 > 0:30:13you have a whopping £198 to buy the team's bonus buy
0:30:13 > 0:30:16and the additional £100 Tim's Ton.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23That is quite a good piece. Factory, as we know - Worcester.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Nice markings on the bottom there.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Date-wise, just after 1900 - 1902, 1903.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Nicely hand-painted floral decoration.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36No restoration around the neck.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Doesn't look like there is anything extra painted around that.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41So I am quite happy that that is OK.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Price tag on it - 140.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46That is going to be a bit keen if we go to auction.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50You would certainly expect something like this to be over the 100.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53So it is going to be a bit tight on the money,
0:30:53 > 0:30:56but we'll see what we can do with a bit of negotiation.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Um, yeah, I think we could do a little bit on that for you.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03It's 140. I think we can do... How does 120 sound to you?
0:31:03 > 0:31:06120 sounds good. Something lower would sound better.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- But if that is what it is... - I think 120 is a bit fair
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- and I think you'll do very well at auction with that.- You do?
0:31:12 > 0:31:13You have confidence in it?
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Absolutely, a lot of confidence in that piece.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- Excellent. Right, I think we'll have that, then.- Very good.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20We'll have the deal on that. Thank you very much.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Well done, Colin. Just Tim's Ton to go.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25He's a quick worker, that boy,
0:31:25 > 0:31:28and I think he's spotted something already.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Now, that's a really interesting fish slice.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36Nice decoration.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Now, sir, I've seen your price on it.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43I'm going to be a little bit cheeky here.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47No word of a lie, I'm on an absolute budget.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51We're doing something with Tim's Ton. I've got £100 to spend.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- Just this once. - You will?- One for one.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- One for one, excellent stuff. Thank you very much indeed.- Thank you.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02It's very obvious to everyone that silver is always a good seller.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04When you're buying silver, always go for the better things.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09It's always a good idea to go for things like cutlery and flatware.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14Go for period. We've gone here - George III rather than Victorian.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Just a little bit older, little bit more interesting.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Well, I'll be the judge of that.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23The revelation of Colin Young's bonus buys.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- Now, the team's bonus buy. You had £198.- Yes.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- And you went with this little pot. - Yeah.- OK, tell us about it.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34Um, the main thing I went for was I thought the money was right,
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- or it seemed it when I was buying it.- Yes.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- 120 was spent on that, is that right?- Yes.- OK, fine.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Then I gave you Tim's Ton.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45I gave you the £100 for the extra bonus buy.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- And is that what you went for? - That's what I went for.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- Well, that's solid silver and in very nice condition.- Marked at £200.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Don't tell me you got a £200 slice for £100!
0:32:55 > 0:33:00- Oh, I cut off more than a slice. 100 it was.- That is wicked!
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Now, I have to make my prediction as to which item is going to
0:33:03 > 0:33:07bring the biggest profit in proportion to its purchase price.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09And without a shadow of a doubt,
0:33:09 > 0:33:14I'm going to make my prediction that Tim's Ton Buy, Colin's
0:33:14 > 0:33:18cunning purchase of the Georgian fish slice, will do precisely that.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21But right now, for our lovely audience, we're going to
0:33:21 > 0:33:25trot off to London, to a museum, a museum of social history.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Uh-ah!
0:33:30 > 0:33:34The Geffrye Museum in London's East End
0:33:34 > 0:33:40is set within a group of Grade 1 listed arms houses.
0:33:40 > 0:33:45These were built as the result of a bequest from Sir Robert Geffrye,
0:33:45 > 0:33:49who you see there, in the front of that facade.
0:33:49 > 0:33:56And they were built in 1714 to provide shelter for poor pensioners.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01Each of the rooms here reflects the homes of the middle classes
0:34:01 > 0:34:04in London, the prosperous sector of society.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09They depict how urban life has changed over the last 400 years.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12The Geffrye's collection of interior design
0:34:12 > 0:34:17and decorative arts has been arranged in chronological order.
0:34:17 > 0:34:23And today, I'm going to have a look at four slices of the 20th century.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27MUSIC: The Entertainer by Scott Joplin
0:34:30 > 0:34:36And our first slice includes a typical Edwardian family home
0:34:36 > 0:34:39as it might have looked around 1910.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42What we have are
0:34:42 > 0:34:45typically mass-produced, machine-made style
0:34:45 > 0:34:47pieces of furniture,
0:34:47 > 0:34:51like the satinwood inlaid Sheraton revival centre table.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55But the overall impression that you get from this home
0:34:55 > 0:34:58is Arts and Crafts.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02The fire surround, although machine made in a factory,
0:35:02 > 0:35:06has the elements of the Arts and Crafts movement.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Those little bosses in ceramic, heart-shaped,
0:35:09 > 0:35:13just reek Arts and Crafts and Voysey.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18And one of the foremost architects
0:35:18 > 0:35:22and Arts and Crafts designers of the period
0:35:22 > 0:35:24is Charles Robert Ashbee.
0:35:24 > 0:35:30And an example of his handiwork is this silver trumpet
0:35:30 > 0:35:32or tapering-sided vase.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36The grade of silver is thick, it is a heavy object.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39It has been entirely made by hand.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41What I like about it is this bottom band
0:35:41 > 0:35:45because this is a band of tightly drawn
0:35:45 > 0:35:51and embossed foliage interposed by these oddball, little balloons,
0:35:51 > 0:35:56which it could be argued are actually stylised honesty.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Honestly, it is the most divine object.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17And here, if we scroll forward a couple of decades,
0:36:17 > 0:36:21the horrors of the First World War have been endured
0:36:21 > 0:36:27and the survivors just longed to live in an apartment like this.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31Dating from, say, about 1930,
0:36:31 > 0:36:36the absolute must-have modernity of that moment.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38There's no fussy embellishment
0:36:38 > 0:36:42in the Victorian or Edwardian style here.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47This is the best of what goes to make up the Art Deco style.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Like this little tea set.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Here we have got something that looks just like Clarice Cliff,
0:36:53 > 0:36:54except it ain't.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56It is actually transfer printed
0:36:56 > 0:37:01and then mechanically enamelled in the Clarice Cliff style.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04But with these bright and jolly colours,
0:37:04 > 0:37:06it too exemplifies
0:37:06 > 0:37:09everything that is unusual and bold
0:37:09 > 0:37:11about the Art Deco period.
0:37:16 > 0:37:21ROCK'N'ROLL MUSIC
0:37:27 > 0:37:30What were you doing in 1963?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Well, I suggest you don't tell the grandchildren.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35But if you were posh in that period,
0:37:35 > 0:37:39you would aspire to live in a room like this.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43This is open plan living from the 1960s.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45We don't have a fireplace anymore,
0:37:45 > 0:37:51we have a room where everything happens, including the eating.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55We've got a dining table with beautifully designed chairs
0:37:55 > 0:38:00that exactly fit snugly under it, so when you're not eating,
0:38:00 > 0:38:03the whole thing occupies the minimum of space.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06And because we've got no fireplace together around,
0:38:06 > 0:38:10what you did in the 1960s was to gather around the telly.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12And in this display,
0:38:12 > 0:38:16we have the most desirable of 1960s tellies,
0:38:16 > 0:38:19something called a video sphere,
0:38:19 > 0:38:23that looks like Sputnik's helmet and, of course,
0:38:23 > 0:38:26is in the most desirable of colours - uranium orange.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44And now, onto the '90s.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Around 1998,
0:38:46 > 0:38:50the conversion of redundant industrial buildings
0:38:50 > 0:38:52was all the rage.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55And that's what this is - a loft conversion.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59You can still see the remnant of the Victorian warehouse
0:38:59 > 0:39:04in the cast-iron frame in the window, together with the use of a
0:39:04 > 0:39:07mezzanine, that means the high-ceiling height
0:39:07 > 0:39:10in the loft can be utilised.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14The ultramodern stainless steel kitchen is not so different
0:39:14 > 0:39:16from our kitchens today.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20In fact, you could argue that we haven't moved on that
0:39:20 > 0:39:23much from, say, 1998.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29And now, for something potty.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Aren't they weird looking?
0:39:31 > 0:39:35They are made by a potter called Sophie Cook,
0:39:35 > 0:39:39and she made them in 1998.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43She throws her stuff in porcelain, which is...difficult.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Half of them blow up in the kiln.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50The survivors have quirky characteristics - tall,
0:39:50 > 0:39:55elongated, rather futuristic looking things,
0:39:55 > 0:40:01each of which has twists and kinks to them that are not replicated
0:40:01 > 0:40:06one to another, and they have got a quality which demands a collection.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09In other words, one of these on their own wouldn't look much cop,
0:40:09 > 0:40:14but if you have two or three, they become very attractive.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18But the big question for us today, of course, over at the auction is -
0:40:18 > 0:40:24just how attractive are the profits going to be that our teams generate?
0:40:24 > 0:40:25Or not.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Well, we have trotted to Shrewsbury, to be at Halls saleroom -
0:40:39 > 0:40:42what could be nicer - with Jeremy Lamond.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44- Jeremy, thank you for having us. - Welcome, Tim.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48Now, we have got a very strange mixture of stuff -
0:40:48 > 0:40:49surprise, surprise -
0:40:49 > 0:40:54starting off with the child's bentwood folding rickshaw.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Yeah, I think it is more likely to be a doll's
0:40:57 > 0:40:59bentwood folding rickshaw,
0:40:59 > 0:41:02or certainly it will now because I don't think it's...
0:41:02 > 0:41:04For health and safety reasons,
0:41:04 > 0:41:07- you probably couldn't put a child in it anymore.- How much?
0:41:07 > 0:41:12- We thought £20 or £30 to maybe a doll collector.- Really?
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- £120 was paid by our Phil.- Hm.
0:41:15 > 0:41:20Anyway, moving on to the kind of flapping period
0:41:20 > 0:41:23with this silver mesh bag.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25You know, they are not rare items.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- Made of metal, so lots of them survived.- Hm.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Just not that much metal in it for me. How much money-wise?
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- We think £15 to £20.- OK, £30 paid.
0:41:34 > 0:41:40So that is a bit tight, too. And now the picnic set from heaven
0:41:40 > 0:41:44for the 1965 flavour of sandwiches and hot drinks outdoors.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46I mean, that is just a peach.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50I always think that these are underpriced for what you get.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53They are nearly always unused or complete like this.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55And I think they are underpriced at the moment.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58- We've put £20 to £30 on them. - Is that all?!
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Our team paid £60, all right?
0:42:00 > 0:42:02They really rated it. But there you are.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05So it could be a problem for this team.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07And they are definitely going to need their bonus buys,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10so let's go and have a look at them.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Now, teams, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:42:12 > 0:42:16You gave Caroline £90 of leftover lolly to find
0:42:16 > 0:42:19the team's bonus buy. Caroline, what did you find?
0:42:19 > 0:42:22I bought something which I think you are going to love.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- Look at that!- Yeah, Sam?
0:42:26 > 0:42:30- Yes! You are smiling, Sam? - Yeah. It's good, isn't it?
0:42:30 > 0:42:32I think it is fabulous.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Look at that. A little table lighter.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38- In the shape of a camera, which you love, don't you?- Yeah.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41And how cool would you be?
0:42:41 > 0:42:43That could sit on your desk, flick it open.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- Did you haggle him down?- You walked away at 15, didn't you?- Yeah.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- I squeezed a little bit harder. - 13.- 14.- 14.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55He liked you more than me, then.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59He liked us both the same. It is just I pressed a little harder.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- So, we're happy with that, then, aren't we?- We are. We are.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04How much do we think this will make at auction?
0:43:04 > 0:43:07I think is going to make £20 to £30, depending on who's there.
0:43:07 > 0:43:12- OK.- Sounds good.- Back over to Jeremy to find out his thoughts.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15Well, J, jolly nice Japanese cigarette lighter
0:43:15 > 0:43:17in the form of a camera.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Well, it is a novelty, isn't it? Every table should have one.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24And, you know, if it had its original box, it would be a
0:43:24 > 0:43:26lot of money, but it hasn't.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29- And therefore, we think £15 or £20 for her.- Yeah.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32Cos in that box, they can make £60, £80, can't they?
0:43:32 > 0:43:34Oh, they can, yeah.
0:43:34 > 0:43:39OK, so that is fine, then. Estimate 15 to 20, lovely.
0:43:39 > 0:43:43Now, for Tim's Ton, this is the second bonus buy.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46There you go, Caroline. You had your £100.
0:43:46 > 0:43:50You went out wilfully, honestly, and spent on this.
0:43:52 > 0:43:56- Now, a set of six napkin rings. - Napkin rings.- Have a look.- Right.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01- They are pewter...- Yeah.- ..on wood,
0:44:01 > 0:44:04- painted differently, obviously, inside.- Yeah.
0:44:04 > 0:44:08- But wonderful Art Nouveau, Arts and Craftsy.- They're lovely.
0:44:08 > 0:44:13- Looking good, looking good. - Good. What do you think I spent?
0:44:14 > 0:44:18- 85.- OK.- How much do you reckon they will bring?
0:44:18 > 0:44:23- I think they are going to scrape the 100.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26- It's certainly different. - I am with you on that.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28- I think we'll make 100 on them. - Yeah?- We should.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32But just because we should, doesn't mean we will.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34- Yeah.- That is oh-so true.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37Anyway, chaps, you don't pick now, you pick later,
0:44:37 > 0:44:38either one of the bonus buys,
0:44:38 > 0:44:41depending on whether you feel you need to take either one.
0:44:41 > 0:44:46Let's see what the auctioneer thinks of Caroline's napkin rings.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49Now, Tim's Ton. Caroline had 100 and she went out
0:44:49 > 0:44:52and splashed it on those - six napkin rings.
0:44:52 > 0:44:57Well, Arts and Crafts refurbished, I think. Pewter.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00Not the best seller in the world, but there are six of them,
0:45:00 > 0:45:04- they are a set, so... £20 or £30?- Really?- Hm.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06- She paid £85.- Yeah, that's...
0:45:06 > 0:45:09But you never know, the team, with any luck, won't go with
0:45:09 > 0:45:13the napkin rings, it'll go with the lighter.
0:45:13 > 0:45:17- The lighter, definitely. - Anyway, so, that's it for the Reds.
0:45:17 > 0:45:18Now for the Blues.
0:45:18 > 0:45:22First up for them is their marvellous walnut music cabinet.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25- Yes.- But very difficult to sell, I guess, J.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27Well, you know,
0:45:27 > 0:45:29brown furniture has had a bit of a knock
0:45:29 > 0:45:33in the last 15 to 20 years even.
0:45:33 > 0:45:36- Hm.- But there are plenty of pianists who would like it
0:45:36 > 0:45:39and plenty of people who could find something else to
0:45:39 > 0:45:42put in the folio drawers, so that is all good.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45We think £40 to £60 good.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48OK, £60 paid, so that's fair enough.
0:45:48 > 0:45:52- Next, we have got the singing frogs. - Yeah.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54- It is a particular taste, isn't it?- Yes.
0:45:54 > 0:45:58You'd have a grenouille on your table, like that.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01They come from the Far East last year, don't they?
0:46:01 > 0:46:04- They are modern reproduction. - They probably are.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06Um, £20 or £30 to a frog lover.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10OK, £12 is all they paid, so that is about the right price.
0:46:10 > 0:46:15And lastly, intriguingly, is the bit of the automobilia -
0:46:15 > 0:46:18- your skid lid...- Well, it really wouldn't work for me, I think
0:46:18 > 0:46:20there'll be more appeal to these, actually.
0:46:20 > 0:46:24Yeah, the lemon lenses are something else, aren't they?
0:46:24 > 0:46:28What do you do with that? You can't wear it on your bike anymore.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30Again, £20 to £30, we thought.
0:46:30 > 0:46:34OK, fine, £30 paid, so that is neither here nor there, really.
0:46:34 > 0:46:37It all depends on how they get on with their music cabinet as to
0:46:37 > 0:46:41whether they are going to need their bonus buys or not.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43Let's go and have a look.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48As you can see, Cath and Sarah are lost in transit.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51Now, this doesn't happen very often, Colin.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54And with any luck, if they beetle up the road to Shrewsbury,
0:46:54 > 0:46:56they'll be here in time for the auction.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59So, as if Cath and Sarah are here,
0:46:59 > 0:47:03you had £180 of leftover lolly. What did you buy?
0:47:03 > 0:47:06- Well, I bought a little piece of Worcester.- Let's have a look.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08So that's it. A little bit of Worcester.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10- I have seen that before. We know all about that one.- Right.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13'But I wonder what Jeremy thinks about it.'
0:47:13 > 0:47:18- Right, one baluster Worcester pot for the taking of.- Yes.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21James Hadley, early 20th century.
0:47:21 > 0:47:26That should be £30 to £40.
0:47:26 > 0:47:27Really, is that all?
0:47:27 > 0:47:31Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear. £120 paid for that.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34- Well, that's great, that's a retail price.- Isn't it?
0:47:34 > 0:47:37- He has paid the right money. - OK, fine.- But not for auction.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39Not for auction and not for a bonus buy.
0:47:39 > 0:47:40'What about Tim's Ton?'
0:47:42 > 0:47:44You had £100, which is Tim's Ton,
0:47:44 > 0:47:48which I will reveal for you, Colin. Which is... A fish slice,
0:47:48 > 0:47:50about which we know everything.
0:47:50 > 0:47:54So we don't have to explain about that to Cath or Sarah,
0:47:54 > 0:47:57who hopefully will arrive at the auction all hot
0:47:57 > 0:47:59and bothered in just a few moments.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02If they don't, it is going to be a bit lonely, isn't it?
0:48:02 > 0:48:04Don't worry, you can snuggle up to me, Colin.
0:48:04 > 0:48:08'Hm, that's all very cosy, but what does Jeremy think?'
0:48:08 > 0:48:12So, next up is Tim's Ton, which came in a box,
0:48:12 > 0:48:15- ready to slice up your salmon. - Well, this is quite good.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18It has got an early fiddle pattern.
0:48:18 > 0:48:23Regency period 1817 fish slice.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26So we have put £40 to £60 on it.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28But it could easily make £100.
0:48:28 > 0:48:31So, actually the estimate is £40 to £60, but it might do better.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33- Might do.- Just like me.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36- And you.- Could do better. - Thank you, Jeremy.
0:48:39 > 0:48:43OK, Jeremy, look sharp, it's time to rush off to your rostrum.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46- Did the girls make it? - All done at 20?
0:48:48 > 0:48:52First up, we have got the bentwood rickshaw, and here it comes.
0:48:52 > 0:48:5620th century child's bentwood rickshaw is lot 278.
0:48:56 > 0:49:00So, who's going to start me at a nice, low £10 for it?
0:49:00 > 0:49:01£10 for the rickshaw.
0:49:01 > 0:49:03Where is a tenner? £10.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05Very back of the room, £10.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07- A tenner!- 15, there you go.- 15.
0:49:07 > 0:49:1015, 18, 20, 22.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12- Come on!- Give it a chance.

0:49:15 > 0:49:1835 in the room, then, at £35. 35...
0:49:18 > 0:49:20At £35, all finished?
0:49:20 > 0:49:22£35, I don't like the look of this.
0:49:22 > 0:49:23That is five short of 40,
0:49:23 > 0:49:26which means that is minus 85.
0:49:26 > 0:49:27Oh, dear.
0:49:27 > 0:49:29Oh, dear!
0:49:29 > 0:49:30Here comes your mesh purse.
0:49:30 > 0:49:32Mesh evening purse here.
0:49:32 > 0:49:33What about that for a tenner?

0:50:49 > 0:50:51- Yeah.- So, which one are you going to go for?
0:50:51 > 0:50:53Are you going to go for the table lighter or are you going to
0:50:53 > 0:50:55go for the napkin...?
0:50:55 > 0:50:57- Table lighter, is it? - Yeah, we'll try that.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59- Yeah.- Yes?- Yeah.

0:52:07 > 0:52:10- No!- £35 is minus 50.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12You made the right decision not going with that, chaps.
0:52:12 > 0:52:14Anyway, your £11 profit -
0:52:14 > 0:52:15well done, Caroline -
0:52:15 > 0:52:19on the team's bonus buy means that the team are minus 96,
0:52:19 > 0:52:21which, bearing in mind this has been a bloodbath,
0:52:21 > 0:52:23could be a winning score, all right?
0:52:23 > 0:52:25Don't feel badly about it. Could be a winning score.
0:52:25 > 0:52:26Don't say a word to the Blues
0:52:26 > 0:52:29and all will be revealed in a moment, OK? Well done for that.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33Now, let us hope that our Blues are going to arrive.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42Now, we are a couple of dummies here,
0:52:42 > 0:52:46- but are these girls going to turn up?- Who knows?
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Hello, we're here!
0:52:48 > 0:52:52I mean, what is going on here, Cath, eh?
0:52:52 > 0:52:56We can get the dummies out of the way. Where have you been?
0:52:56 > 0:52:58We just had a little bit of a late start.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01What do you mean a late start? You couldn't get out of bed, right?
0:53:01 > 0:53:04- Our alarms didn't go off, sorry. - Your alarms didn't go off!
0:53:04 > 0:53:07It's like 12-year-olds, isn't it?
0:53:07 > 0:53:11- Yeah!- Anyway, you are here now, and that is the important moment.
0:53:11 > 0:53:14First up is your walnut music cabinet, and here it comes.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Lot 301 is the Victorian walnut music cabinet.

0:53:35 > 0:53:38£70, selling at 70...
0:53:38 > 0:53:40The thing to do is to stay in bed.
0:53:40 > 0:53:42THEY GIGGLE
0:53:42 > 0:53:46Plus £10 for not getting out of bed.

0:54:53 > 0:54:58£120 worth of Worcester vase. That is the team's bonus buy.

0:55:33 > 0:55:35Sorry, we shouldn't be so...
0:55:35 > 0:55:37Now, I had to make a prediction as to which one
0:55:37 > 0:55:40I thought was going to make proportionally the most profit,
0:55:40 > 0:55:42and I said the fish slice.

0:55:59 > 0:56:00All done at 45...?
0:56:00 > 0:56:05£45 is minus £55.
0:56:05 > 0:56:08So, there we are, I got that well and truly wrong.
0:56:08 > 0:56:12And you did best, Colin, with your first bonus buy,
0:56:12 > 0:56:15which only managed to lose £60.
0:56:15 > 0:56:17But that doesn't matter cos the girls went with neither.
0:56:17 > 0:56:21You stuck to your guns. You have £45 worth of profit.
0:56:21 > 0:56:23You have a profit on all three items.
0:56:23 > 0:56:25Don't say a word to the Reds.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28- To the boys.- All right? Don't say a word to the Reds, OK?

0:56:54 > 0:56:57- the Reds.- Oh!
0:56:57 > 0:56:59You are minus £96.
0:57:00 > 0:57:05It would have been worse were it not for Caroline's Japanese lighter.
0:57:05 > 0:57:08And I was with you with that, I predicted that that would do
0:57:08 > 0:57:11best, Caroline, so we are both right on that one, my darling.
0:57:11 > 0:57:13But only one team can win substantially,
0:57:13 > 0:57:16and that team today are the Blues. So well done, girls.
