0:00:04 > 0:00:07Today, the show starts in the town of Congleton, in Cheshire.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12In the 18th century, Congleton became an important centre
0:00:12 > 0:00:14for the textile industry,
0:00:14 > 0:00:17especially for leather and lace production.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Many of the mill buildings are still standing
0:00:22 > 0:00:25but are now used for different purposes.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Today, we've got a 60-minute programme for you
0:00:28 > 0:00:31so let's go bargain-hunting. Yeah!
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Today, we've made a slight change to the rules
0:01:02 > 0:01:05and the experts are being required to find not one
0:01:05 > 0:01:07but two bonus buys,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11and I'll then tell them which one I think is going to do best.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13But what will happen?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15We'll find out in a moment but right now,
0:01:15 > 0:01:19let's take a shufty at what's coming up.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23On today's show, the HARDY Reds are making a good impression.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27AS OLIVER HARDY: Stanley, that's another fine mess you got me into.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31And the Blues are buzzing with excitement.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Are we both done? - Yeah, we are.- Well done.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Still leave you some money.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Let's meet the teams.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Well, on today's show, we've got a distinctly nautical theme
0:01:41 > 0:01:44with teams of chums from the Royal Navy.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48For the Reds, we've got Dave and Bill,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- and for the Blues, Sterling and Fred. Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hello.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Lovely to see you.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Now, Dave, it says that you joined the Navy to escape.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59I'm the oldest of ten kids
0:01:59 > 0:02:01and after me came eight girls.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Oh, no.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I quite understand.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- So you got to 16 and you couldn't be out of there fast enough!- Yes.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- I joined up. - And did you see the world?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- I'd seen pretty much every part of it, yeah.- Hmm.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17And what was your job? What ships were you on?
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- I was engine room. I was commonly known as a stoker.- Yeah.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26And I suppose... I was on carriers...
0:02:26 > 0:02:31mostly. I joined Ark Royal September '61
0:02:31 > 0:02:36and left her in June, July '66, just after the World Cup.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Very interesting. What do you get up to now?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I work part time now.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I work with people with learning disabilities,
0:02:44 > 0:02:48and the rest of the time I indulge myself with these chaps.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52We entertain other branches of the Royal Naval Association
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- with our SODS Opera. - So what would SODS Opera be, then?
0:02:56 > 0:03:01- Well, SODS is Ships Own Dramatic Society.- Ah!
0:03:01 > 0:03:05And you're all a lot of old sods, is that right? Lovely.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07And so, do you play, sing, do all that kind of stuff?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- We do all that.- Really? - Dressed up, dressed down.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- So, Bill, what was your job in the Navy?- I became a radar operator.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18You were in Japan for the Korean War?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Just at the end, at the peace negotiations.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24And you were doing all that evacuation stuff?
0:03:24 > 0:03:29That was in French Indochina, which became Vietnam, as you know.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- You've also been in the Old Bill, haven't you, Bill?- Yes. 30 years.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34How lovely.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- Did you enjoy that?- Marvellous. Loved every minute.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Which is better, the RN or the Old Bill?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I've got good friends in both so I'm saying nothing.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- Anyway, have a great time. - We will.- Hope you enjoy it.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52Now, Sterling, what's a cabbage mechanic and a greenie, then?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55There's branches in the Navy, different branches,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- and we all do different jobs.- Yes.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00So we have to have different names for different branches.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- "Cabbage mechanic" is a cook. - Ah, yes.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Now, "a greenie" is an electrician,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09but that comes from, years ago, the officers in the Royal Navy,
0:04:09 > 0:04:13between their gold rings, used to wear a colour,
0:04:13 > 0:04:16and the colour that electrical officers used to wear was green.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- Green for earth!- So green - greenie.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- You'd be in the cookery department? - Yes.- Lot of fish and chips, I bet?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Only on Friday.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Chips every day.- Chips every day. - But fish on a Friday.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- But you did that on the surface and under the water.- Yes.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Did you ever have a problem spending all those weeks under the water?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- Not really, no. You work, you sleep, you work, you sleep.- Yeah.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Now, so, Freddo, you were the electrician, you were the sparks.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Tell us what you got up to.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47My primary role on board a ship was what they call light electrics,
0:04:47 > 0:04:52which we looked after within the main ship - lighting,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55communication systems - but also weapons systems.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58What have you got up to apart from being in the RN?
0:04:58 > 0:05:02When I left the Navy, I got a job in a prison,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04made my way up to a manager
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- and today is my first day as a retired man.- No! Well done.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Your first day of retirement today.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- And you've come out bargain-hunting? - Yes.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16You've made the right decision there!
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Cos the first thing is, you pick up £300 to go out there and shop.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Go forth and multiply. You know the rules.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Your experts await, and off you go! Very, very good luck.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Our gallant Navy lads venture off on their shopping voyage.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Only two people can try and navigate our teams to victory.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37A big fan of a profit or two, it's Jonathan Pratt.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42And hoping not to hit a bum note today is David Harper.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Don't forget, the experts will be really up against it today
0:05:47 > 0:05:50as they will each have to find two bonus buys,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53and I'll be telling them, but not the contestants,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56which one I think will make the most profit at auction.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Anchors away, let's crack on with the day.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02That is the in between one.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05MUSIC: "In The Navy" by Village People
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Come on, guys, welcome to my world.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Look at this. Exciting, or what?
0:06:16 > 0:06:21- Superb, isn't it?- Aladdin's cave. - It's a bit daunting, isn't it?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- What will we be looking for, Fred? - I like plates,
0:06:24 > 0:06:26brass, things like that.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Memorabilia.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- OK. What kind of memorabilia? - Military. Naval, especially.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Of course. Couple of ex-Navy men.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Here we are. What are you going to look for today?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Anything with a military-type...
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Eastern-type, nautical.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Nautical, Eastern, military. - Anything with an Eastern touch.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Silver?- Yes.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Anything to do with the drinking trade.- Right. Beer?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Do you like a bit of beer?- I like a drop of beer. And rum, of course.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Of course! This is going to be an exciting journey.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Right, we have 60 minutes, real sharp timing,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- are you ready for it?- We are. - We are.- Come on, guys.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Let's start in here.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08There's lots of that sort of stuff here.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Let's go and have a look. - Let's have a look.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- That's something to do with the drinking trade.- Let's have a look.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Who on earth is going to buy that, Sterling?- Um...yeah.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26I don't really know. I thought it'd be interesting, but maybe not!
0:07:29 > 0:07:32More sobering thoughts over with the Reds.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34A tea caddy. George II.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36This is a very traditional caddy shape.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39You could say it's George III. It's about 1750, 1760.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42It's on the cusp of the two reigns.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Made of mahogany, lovely grain in it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49It's never going to run away because there's not enough buyers at auction
0:07:49 > 0:07:52for these sorts of things. They have a set price and that's that.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56You buy it at a discounted price, that's what they paid at auction,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- you're not going to make a profit. - Right.- It's a nice object.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04It's lasted 250 years and will probably last another 250 years,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07but it's not going to make us a profit.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Some good advice there, JP.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12You sure have a wise head on young shoulders.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Aye-aye! The Blues have taken a shine to something.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17What do you like about it?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20The whole shape of it, the design, it's a bit unusual.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- I haven't seen anything like it before.- OK.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26It's Doulton Lambeth. It's fascinating company, this,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29because there you have an Art Nouveau high-quality
0:08:29 > 0:08:34nicely glazed pot, but at the very same time they were making this,
0:08:34 > 0:08:38they were producing downpipes for gutters, sewage pipes, the lot.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Brilliant company.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44So on the base - "Doulton". Marked "England",
0:08:44 > 0:08:46so that means it's after 1891,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49and heading towards the First World War,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52so that will date it to about 1905, 1910.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55So what was before 1891, then? What did they put on them?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Absolutely nothing.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59"Doulton" but no country of origin.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03That is introduced in 1891, that's it.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Beautifully marked. Now, where's the problem?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- Should be two of them? - Yes. There should be two of them.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Sterling work, Sterling!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Now, the decoration is good as well,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18because can you see how you've got all this impressed decoration?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Any idea how they do that? - Build it up with enamel?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23No, it's much simpler. When the clay is wet,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26they get...basically like a doily, a bit of linen
0:09:26 > 0:09:30with a design in it and do this, and press it.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33That gets that decoration and they paint it later.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35So a really good pot. Very stylish.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37So, whilst the Blues ponder the pot,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40the Reds had their expert on his knees.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Scrubbing the decks, eh, JP?
0:09:44 > 0:09:48You don't really often look down the bottom, do you?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Oh, looks like they're getting a price.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53And she's going to be kind.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- How kind do you want me to be? - About 50 quid's worth.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- I think I'd have to phone the dealer for that?- Would you?- Yeah.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Would you mind? Make a quick phone call?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05You said it should be one of a pair.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07On its own, in the right surrounding,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10it'd look absolutely superb.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Given the right lights, decoration around it, it'd be excellent.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Hmm.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16- Good news.- Good news?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- £50.- Right.- That's amazing, that.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- I'm made up.- Good.- Marvellous.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22Thank you very much.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Good work, Blues.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26First buy in the bag.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Are they...?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37They are silver. They're 1918 silver.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41They do sell because people put them on the dining table and use them,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45but, generally speaking, the way to value them is take the glass out,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47pop them on the scales.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49They're worth a bit more than the silver value.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Again, you need Victorian, different shapes.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55It's the right sort of thing. They will sell at auction,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57but you'll be struggling to make profits.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Are you liking something there?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I'm just looking at this writing desk.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- It's still got the original leather top.- Yeah. Let's have a look.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10OK.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Let's have a look. What are you thinking?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15See how it's made. It's got dovetail joints
0:11:15 > 0:11:19and it's not mass produced, I wouldn't have thought.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22But there's a dovetail joint and a dovetail joint.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25A little tell-tale sign for a hand-cut dovetail
0:11:25 > 0:11:28would be a little scribe mark
0:11:28 > 0:11:30where the cabinet-maker has measured, and he's literally
0:11:30 > 0:11:33drawn a pencil mark or a slight cut
0:11:33 > 0:11:36and then he's cut his dovetails by hand to that mark.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40There's no scribe mark at all, so that's a machine-made piece.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44So the piece of furniture pretending to be made in 1790,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47that has never seen 1790,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51and it probably hasn't seen much before 1970.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53So it's a repro.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- It's not going to make any money. - No.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04Gosh. There's an old canvas-covered shell case here, look,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06with a coat of arms on.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Oh, yes. - They often get used as stick stands.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12I mean, it's original. It comes at...
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Obviously, it comes at a price.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18£160.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20That's full price.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Yeah.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26But it's a nice object and people will buy these.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Put them in the front hall and have a few sticks by the door.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I'll just go and see the dealer
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- and see if we can come to some arrangement.- Why not?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Do your best, Bill.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39You don't want this backfiring.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Meanwhile, in the Blue camp, confidence is riding high.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- I've got this thing inside...- Yeah?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I want to keep going and buy more.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- It's a bit of a buzz, isn't it?- It is.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Have you bought antiques before? - Not really. Been round the odd market
0:12:52 > 0:12:54but nothing like this.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Jonathan, I've just spoken to the dealer
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- and she's said we can have it for 128.- Excellent.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Have you shaken her hand? - I've shaken her hand.- Job done.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10First purchase. Nice military object. Well done, gents.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12From one boy to another.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Buy number one, locked and loaded for the Reds.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- Can we have a look at that mirror? - Absolutely.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32OK, lovely. Thank you.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Now, then, chaps, what do we think about that? Does it get you?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- What attracted you to it? - I liked the fretwork,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41the detail,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44the fact that it is made from mahogany.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I love the bevelled mirror.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Carol, do you love that? - DEALER: It's beautiful.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52It is stunning. The shape of that glass,
0:13:52 > 0:13:53and that's hand bevelled,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56so it'll be original to the frame itself.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Date-wise, probably circa 1900,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- something like that.- DEALER: I think so. Before the turn of the century.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05On the top, you've got a queen's crown.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07The king's crown goes up, like that,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10the queen's crown goes down, like a heart.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- That's the shape there. - It's got to be pre-1901.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Top of the class, chaps.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- It's celebrating Queen Victoria, isn't it?- Yes.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Which could mean it's 1897, the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria
0:14:21 > 0:14:25on the throne, and of course the one before that was 1887,
0:14:25 > 0:14:26the big 50 years.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- I'm handing it to you. You tell me what you think.- Thank you.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32He's bound to tell us something else we don't know.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35There is a little bit of damage. There's a piece missing.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38There's a little crack there.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- I think we can live with that. - And there.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42It's nothing... It's what it is, isn't it?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- The fact that it is 114, 115 years old...- Yeah, yeah.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49And it does look superb.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- What do you think? What could it be? - I think there's a £40 price tag on it.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54There is, yes.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- How does 30 sound? - 25 sounds a lot, lot better!
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Does 25 sound better? I think I could do 25.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Dear, dear me. I love you!
0:15:04 > 0:15:05LAUGHTER
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- I'm happy with that.- Are you? How are you feeling now?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10You've done another deal.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12If someone said to me on Friday I'd be feeling like this today...
0:15:12 > 0:15:15On your first day of retirement you should be feeling miserable,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18effectively, and yet I'm having the best buzz I've had for years!
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Oh, marvellous. That is absolute music to my ears. Thank you again.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23That is fantastic.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25On that happy note it is a good time for me
0:15:25 > 0:15:28to reflect on the need for a little bit of security.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Now, I want you to think miniature.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Are you thinking miniature? How miniature?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Are you thinking that small?
0:15:41 > 0:15:46Padlocks? Lockable devices of all sorts are collectable.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48That little brass fellow,
0:15:48 > 0:15:53I guess, probably dates from about 1850 or so.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Two brass plates supported on pillars
0:15:57 > 0:15:59and then we've got a later key,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02and if I shnick it like that, turn the key,
0:16:02 > 0:16:06it does still actually work.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09What might that little padlock have been used for?
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Well, you could use it to secure a little tuck box.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19You could use it on a spirit tantalus to stop the servants
0:16:19 > 0:16:20nicking the whisky.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23And who knows? A little jewellery box.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Something that is not going to require a great deal of security
0:16:26 > 0:16:29because it wouldn't be that difficult to break,
0:16:29 > 0:16:34but just something that you'd know that nobody had tampered with.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37But the most desirable is, of course, the smallest one,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40which is made of polished nickel.
0:16:40 > 0:16:46Two nickel plates, and there are seven posts supporting those plates.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48And to make that in miniature
0:16:48 > 0:16:52is nothing more than a little tour de force.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57The hasp is made of steel and I can shnick it closed like that,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01and then the greatest miracle of all is that the original steel key
0:17:01 > 0:17:04is intact and with the padlock.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07And it, too, works.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Now, what might you use such a tiny little padlock for?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Well, if you'd been presented with a diary,
0:17:16 > 0:17:22and in that all your secret, innermost girly thoughts had been contained,
0:17:22 > 0:17:26you certainly wouldn't want any grown-up coming along
0:17:26 > 0:17:28and meandering around in that lot.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32So, a miniature padlock to secure those loving memories.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36As a result of this being in good condition,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38dating from the early part of the 19th century,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41complete with its original key,
0:17:41 > 0:17:45makes this little honey worth the top end of £150.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47What might they cost you?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50In a place like this, £15-£20 apiece.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Does that make you feel secure? I hope it does.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05It's back to the wheeling and dealing.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Talking about things that are odd, and I've never seen before,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12here's something that is odd and I've never seen before.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14So, first of all, what do you think it is?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- It's a chair. - Blimey, you're on a roll today(!)
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- It's got two backs. - It's got two backs.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22I'm going to come to that in a minute. That's the usual bit.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24So, it's a chair.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28It's absolutely High Victorian, made from solid mahogany
0:18:28 > 0:18:31with its original brass castors with brown porcelain feet.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Flat front, very slight bow to it.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Has it got the original leather on it or has it been reupholstered?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40It's positively been reupholstered.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Because that is not leather. It's something that is called Rexine.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47But this is the first version of leatherette,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49so dating to about 1870.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53But what is super-unusual, and you picked up on it, is that.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57What on earth is going on there? Never seen it before.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59So what's the purpose?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01It could be for sitting at a table
0:19:01 > 0:19:03and you've got someone who's like a child or something like that,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05if you put it there...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Let's demonstrate, Fred. You sit in now, tell me how that feels.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Lean back.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- It works.- Yes, it does.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Does it have a lean to it?- Yes.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18It supports the bottom of the lumbar region nicely.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21It's like an original...one of those lumbar seats,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23you know, what you can buy, that's got the bit...
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Or you can actually buy them, can't you?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- You can buy them to fit into the back of your chair.- Yes.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Got like a lumbar... In your car, or on your desk chair.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- OK.- It can actually fit in.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39Let me just... Let me just try this. The first time ever, a chair like this.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Oh, my gosh. Actually, that is fantastic.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46It's almost like a recliner in, effectively, a dining chair.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- But it fits your back as you move. - It fits your back as you move.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Do you know what, I've absolutely no idea what it's worth.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Haven't... Oh, my gosh.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Johnstone & Jeanes, New Bond Street, London. Right, OK.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03It is incredibly rare for any British piece of furniture
0:20:03 > 0:20:06to be marked by its cabinet-maker.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Even Thomas Chippendale, do you know this,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11never, ever marked his pieces of furniture.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- Can I just go and get a price for that?- Yeah.- OK. Try it out.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16- After you.- After me.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22A well-earned rest for the Blues. You're looking pooped!
0:20:22 > 0:20:24But for the Reds, it's time to look shipshape.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27You're running out of time, boys.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33"Stanley, that's another fine mess you've got me into!"
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Stop resting on your LAURELS! And get on with it.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- And the Blues are still sitting around.- I like it.- I like it.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42I like it. It's one of those things that grows on you.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47When you look at it, you think, "Strange." But...practical.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- Would you make a phone call? - Yes, I will.- OK, thank you. OK.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Right.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55So, whilst the Blues wait for a price on the chair,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57the Reds are on the case.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- That brush there.- That little brush there.- See if it's hallmarked.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06It's Birmingham, it's early 20th century.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09It's not... It's not written down, but it's a C, which is... A, B, C...
0:21:09 > 0:21:101928.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12£18.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17If you got that for... If you got that for £12... £10, £12.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20£18 is on there. Your very best would be?
0:21:20 > 0:21:21I'll let you have it for 12.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25£12. Time is of the essence. Thank you very much. Two down, one to go.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Two down, one to go.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Not exactly pushing the boat out, boys.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30But a second buy, nevertheless.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Now, over to the Blues with some news.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37120 is the best.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Now, this chair is either going to make 50 quid,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42because nobody is going to understand it.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Or somebody IS going to understand it, clock it online
0:21:46 > 0:21:48and it could make £200 or £300.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Right, well, I think 120...
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- We said 125.- We've got the buzz. - Have you got the buzz?
0:21:53 > 0:21:58- I'm happy.- Are you happy? Are we both done?- Yeah, we are.- Well done.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Still leave you some money.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Plain sailing, fellas, eh? High-fives all round.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Meanwhile, the Reds are looking all at sea.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Ahoy there! Dave's spotted something.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Oh, yes, Dave. HMS Orestes.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14That was an Algerine-class minesweeper.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16An oceangoing minesweeper.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- What's the price on it?- 20.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- It's a minesweeper from the Second World War?- Yes.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- And that would have been the crest on that ship?- On the ship.
0:22:23 > 0:22:2420 quid. Interesting.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- Has a bit of history. - Go for it.- Let's have a look, let's have a little look.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- We need to see how old it is. - Where was it from?
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- Well, that's quite... That's is quite fun, actually.- Yeah.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- He can do it for 18 without any quibbling, which is 10%.- Yeah.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Unless you want to quibble.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- 15.- 15. For a couple of old seadogs.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I'm absolutely convinced! 15 and it's yours!
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Look at that. OK, are we going to go for that, yes?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52I think it's a nice little buy. I bow to your greater knowledge.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- I think it's a nice little buy. 15 quid.- Marvellous.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Quite honestly, we're down to the last seconds here,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59so I say very well done. It's not expensive. I think there's profit.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Marvellous.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Marvellous indeed.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Both teams have got three items each and...
0:23:04 > 0:23:05ALARM RINGS
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Ooh! Time's up. Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11An explosive start for the Reds.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16They shelled out £128 for the cartridge carrier.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Next up was the silver brush. £12 paid.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24The team were all on board with their last buy -
0:23:24 > 0:23:26the ship's plaque set them back £15.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- Right, Dave, which is your favourite piece?- The cartridge carrier.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- Is it?- Yes.- Do you agree? - I was the same.- You do?- Oh, yes.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37And which bit is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- I think the little hairbrush. - The hairbrush. Fine. Do you agree?
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- I'd go for the cartridge carrier. - You're going back with the cartridge carrier.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44And you spent how much?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- 155.- 155.- 155.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49I'd like £145 of leftover lolly, please,
0:23:49 > 0:23:53which is going to go across to the amazing, fantastic JP,
0:23:53 > 0:23:57who is going to transform it into an object of a bonus buy
0:23:57 > 0:24:01that will be desirable, amusing and likely to be profitable.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- Is that the case, JP?- I'll endeavour to try and do all three!
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- I might do. I'll try and tick at least two boxes!- Yes.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11The other thing that's about to happen is you get a further £100,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15which you are going to be able to spend on the special bonus buy
0:24:15 > 0:24:18for our hour-long programme today, which is exciting.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20And when you've bought 'em,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22bring 'em back and we'll have a bit of a natter.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Anyway, chaps, go and have a cup of tea.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Well done. Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:24:27 > 0:24:31The Blues' Doulton vase was purchased for a nifty 50.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Is a profit staring them in the face?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37A deal was done at £25 for the mirror.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43And, finally, are the Blues sitting pretty with the mahogany chair?
0:24:43 > 0:24:44£120 paid.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Well, you chaps, you've been up to no good -
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- leaving it to the last minute. - That's correct.- Perfectly correct.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Now, tell me, Fred, which is your favourite piece?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I have to say, the last item we bought, which is a very unusual chair.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Yeah? Do you agree with that? - Definitely.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- 100%. That's your favourite favourite?- Yes.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04And, Fred, which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:04 > 0:25:05If it goes all right, the chair.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- And how much did you spend?- £195.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Did you? That is such a good amount of money.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- I'm amazed you managed to spend so much.- I am as well.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I'm treasurer of the association!
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Yes.- Yes.- So, who's got the £105? You have?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- Yes. Now I've got to give it to you, have I?- You do.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- That's the name of the game. - There we go.- There we go.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27£105, which is going straight across to David Harper.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Thank you, Tim.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- Are you feeling confident, Dave? - Always confident.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Here comes the additional £100 for the special bonus buy.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38And when you've bought both of them, David, if you'd bring them back
0:25:38 > 0:25:41and we'll have a little chat, that would be great.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Both our experts are on the hunt for their bonus buys.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51I will be telling them which one I think will make the most profit,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54but I won't let on to the contestants.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56They'll get their chance to choose at the auction,
0:25:56 > 0:26:01and if they're doing really well, they might not go with either of them.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08JP has £145 of leftover lolly for his team's bonus buy
0:26:08 > 0:26:11and he also has £100 for today's special buy.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Oh, hello, sailor.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15JP has spotted something.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18This... This is what I've been looking for.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20This is absolutely perfect for Bill and Dave.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I mean, a couple of old maritime men.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Er, it looks to be a pencil drawing.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28£60 they are asking.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31If I can get that for 40...
0:26:31 > 0:26:33I think it's a really good buy. Absolutely perfect. Brilliant.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42You're not done just yet, JP. Now, time to pick your special buy.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I absolutely love these things, OK?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51This is a climbing axe,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54an ice axe from the early part of the 20th century,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56probably about the 1930s.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01Hickory shaft, steel blades, lovely canvas covers, which are original.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04"Made in Switzerland," it says on the side.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08But £88 is the price. I am going to see if I can get it any cheaper.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13I found a quiet spot away from our contestants.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16So let's take a look at these bonus buys.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Right, then, JP, this is your team's bonus buy.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22for our lovely, lovely naval chaps.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24You've got this cracked, haven't you? Look at that.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28As soon as I saw it, I just thought it had to be, it had to be.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31It's all naval. There's Nelson, and I thought
0:27:31 > 0:27:34the couple, those guys are a bit like Laurel and Hardy.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37I kind of thought they were like these characters here, you know.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- So this is a pencil drawing? - Absolutely.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- And therefore an original cartoon. - Yep.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44And it depicts
0:27:44 > 0:27:49some kind of interwar naval cuts, I would say, wouldn't you?
0:27:49 > 0:27:50I do.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54They are talking here about, "The passion for merging
0:27:54 > 0:27:57"two into one will not be carried too far."
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- So how much did you pay?- £40.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- I'd love to see it making three figures.- Yeah.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- But let's say it might make £30 profit.- And what are you doing here?
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Going to the Arctic?
0:28:06 > 0:28:07OK, so you've got a hickory shaft
0:28:07 > 0:28:10and steel climbing axe from the 1930s.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Made in Switzerland, original canvas things on the end.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- Look at that. - OK, the strap is now...
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Yeah, yeah, but never mind about that. That's marvellous, isn't it?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- OK, how much?- £70.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24OK. Well, there we are.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27That's not so easy in terms of predicting a profit.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30I'd love to have had it for less but it's not an easy game today.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32No, it certainly isn't.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36And my job now, predicting which is going to bring the most is not
0:28:36 > 0:28:40so easy either, actually. And I fancy that the cartoon will do it.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- There should be a big audience for this.- Yeah.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46And at £40, I think it's a very good buy. So well done for that.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47Thank you.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Meanwhile, why don't we have a look at how that jolly fine fellow,
0:28:50 > 0:28:52David Harper, is getting on.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56David is still searching for his two items.
0:28:56 > 0:29:01Remember, he has £105 of leftover lolly for his team's bonus buy.
0:29:02 > 0:29:07- So, the very best for this pair of beauties.- To you, £30.- £30.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- OK, I'm going to have them. Thank you very much.- Thank you.- OK.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15So, £30 for a pair of copper, enamel and cast-iron bowls.
0:29:15 > 0:29:16But what are they?
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Dog bowls? Cereal bowls? Positively not.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23They are 19th-century spittoons.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Very sophisticated.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Disgusting.
0:29:27 > 0:29:33David has his additional £100 to find a special bonus buy with and strike a light! He's found it!
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Is this going to be the most expensive box of matches
0:29:36 > 0:29:39- I have ever bought? - Absolutely, David.- Marvellous.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- What's it going to cost me? - The very best on that is £70.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- £70, OK. All right. Thank you, Carol.- You're welcome.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Wow! And also the biggest box of matches I have ever bought.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Now, no-one would have bought these originally,
0:29:54 > 0:29:56in about 1910-ish, for home use.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Certainly not taking out in your pocket.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02These were advertising boxes for shop use
0:30:02 > 0:30:04so you would walk into your newsagent,
0:30:04 > 0:30:07this blighter would be on the counter and you may well be
0:30:07 > 0:30:11surprised at how much money things like this can actually make.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16- OK, David. You have been at it, haven't you?- I've been at it.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19How about these two dog bowls? Tell us about that.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- They are the team's bonus buy. - They are the team's bonus buy.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Really good quality, copper, steel-based -
0:30:26 > 0:30:31look at that - screaming Victorian manufacturing mass production
0:30:31 > 0:30:35but of quality, with a porcelain liner.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40- When I first saw them, I thought, what fantastic dog bowls are they.- Quite.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- However, they could also be spittoons.- Ohh...- No?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46I would rather have a dog bowl than a spittoon.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Shall we describe them as dog bowls.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50I think you are better off, marketing wise.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53You are more likely to have somebody with
0:30:53 > 0:30:56a couple of pooches that might want some antique dog bowls.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00So, David, you had £105. How much did they cost?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- Well, I would have bought one... - You paid more than £40?
0:31:03 > 0:31:07- No, 30.- Oh, well, that's all right. Well done for finding something different.- Thank you.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09And now for something completely different.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13- This is the special bonus buy.- Yes. - You had £100. Tell us about it.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Dating, I feel, to the early 20th century, 1910,
0:31:16 > 0:31:22about the First World War period, safety matches by a very well-known manufacturer.
0:31:22 > 0:31:27But the great thing about it - one, it's in pretty good condition
0:31:27 > 0:31:30and underneath this first inch layer of matches
0:31:30 > 0:31:34is a blue lining paper exactly the same as that and more matches stacked below
0:31:34 > 0:31:37and they have never been seen for 100 years.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41And we know there are guys out there all across the world that
0:31:41 > 0:31:44collect advertising memorabilia and I think this is a great example.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47And do you know what the matchbox collecting lot are called?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49They're called phillumenologists.
0:31:49 > 0:31:55And when they hear online that you have got this giant Bryant & May matchbox...
0:31:55 > 0:31:57It's even got a tacker in the end, hasn't it?
0:31:57 > 0:32:01That is the same period. It's the same label, look.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02- It's exactly the same.- Lovely.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06So you have got a miniature box as well. You are clever old thing.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- What did you pay?- £70. - Again, very difficult to value.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11I mean, has another one like this ever sold?
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Bit of research, you could find out.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16But you're out there, on your own, and you had to get on with it.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19You've got no time. And I think that's very clever, David,
0:32:19 > 0:32:21seriously, to find that. I think they are both super.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25I think if I had to plump as to which one has got more money in it,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27I think it's going to be the matchbox.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- I thought you were going that way. - Even though it's substantially higher in the threshold of stuff,
0:32:31 > 0:32:35I can see that taking off if it's marketed on the internet. I really can.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37'What will the teams make of the bonus buys?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39'We'll find out later on.'
0:32:41 > 0:32:44But right now, we are taking a breather.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46In keeping with the forces theme, I've come to London,
0:32:46 > 0:32:49to visit the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52This was one of the most important
0:32:52 > 0:32:56centres in the world for munitions production.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Today, the factories have fallen silent.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03Instead, part of the site has been redeveloped into the Royal Artillery Museum.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10If you want to find evidence of British war heroes,
0:33:10 > 0:33:13this is a fine place to start.
0:33:13 > 0:33:18Today, we're going to look at the lives of two British servicemen,
0:33:18 > 0:33:24spanning two centuries, the first of which is called the Indian Mutiny.
0:33:25 > 0:33:30The Indian Mutiny occurred between 1857 and 1858,
0:33:30 > 0:33:34when the Indians rebelled against the British.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38Now, Mark, you're the curator of this marvellous museum.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41I hope you going to tell me about General Hills-Johnes.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Lieutenant, at the time, when he was in the Indian mutiny.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48James Hills-Johnes was in charge of a gun position
0:33:48 > 0:33:53which every night was attacked by mutineer cavalry.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57And every night, the British cavalry rushed out, beat them off,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59and basically all was well.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03On this particular day, the Indian mutiny cavalry attacked,
0:34:03 > 0:34:07as normal, as it were, but there was no British cavalry.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10So James, on his own, mounted his horse,
0:34:10 > 0:34:14drew his sword and charged the mutineers all on his own.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19He killed three of them before he was dis-horsed.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22He then proceeded with his sword on foot.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26He was about to be killed himself when his friend,
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Lieutenant Alferts, rushed up behind him on a horse,
0:34:28 > 0:34:32killed the man behind him and gave the impetus to actually drive away
0:34:32 > 0:34:36the cavalry and the then the British cavalry turned up and saved the day.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41Both Alferts and James Hills-Johnes were both awarded the Victoria Cross.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45Now, next door, we clearly have something that is macabre looking.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- Moving from the romance of the... - Moving from the... Absolutely.
0:34:49 > 0:34:54Into the absolute industrial carnage of the Great War.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56This is known as a PH hood.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01The gas of choice for the Germans at this point was phosgene gas.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04And that attacks the breathing systems.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07What you do is you undo your tunic,
0:35:07 > 0:35:10you pull the hood completely over your head and tuck it into your jacket.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13There is a little mouthpiece inside there that you breathe through
0:35:13 > 0:35:17and then you have these two very small eye holes to see
0:35:17 > 0:35:19the attack coming towards you.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23And what's the connection between this mask and the Victoria Cross?
0:35:23 > 0:35:26The Victoria Cross was won by a man called John Raynes.
0:35:26 > 0:35:33And in 1915 in October, Sergeant Raynes's battery was giving
0:35:33 > 0:35:35covering fire with the artillery
0:35:35 > 0:35:40and the Germans were replying with shrapnel shells and phosgene gas.
0:35:40 > 0:35:46Sergeant Raynes saw his friend, a chap called Sergeant Ayres, wounded.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50When a temporary cease-fire was given, as targets were changed,
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Sergeant Raynes ran about 40 yards to his friend and bound up his wounds
0:35:54 > 0:35:57and then came back to his gun, got his gun back in action.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00At the next change of target,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Sergeant Raynes asked for two volunteers and two men from his
0:36:03 > 0:36:07gun detachment went with him to try and bring in Sergeant Ayres.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I shrapnel shell burst, killed the two volunteers
0:36:09 > 0:36:12and wounded Sergeant Raynes.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Sergeant Raynes then carried Sergeant Ayres on his own back to the
0:36:15 > 0:36:18gun line, took him to the dugout and put him in a place of safety,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20and then returned to his gun, no wounded.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23The next part of action came
0:36:23 > 0:36:29and they witnessed a German gas shell burst in the dugout of Sergeant Ayres.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33So where they put him for safety, this shell exploded.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Sergeant Raynes ran over and his friend now was wounded again,
0:36:37 > 0:36:42but he was wounded in such a way that it had destroyed his PH helmet.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Sergeant Raynes only had one PH helmet and that was the one
0:36:45 > 0:36:48he was wearing so in the gas, he took off his own helmet, he put
0:36:48 > 0:36:52it on his friend and then carried him out to the dressing station.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56They said to Sergeant Raynes, "You're wounded." They put him on a stretcher.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- He got back off the stretcher... - No!- And he rescued four men.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- I don't know...- And they awarded him the Victoria Cross.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Well, all that is incredibly moving
0:37:03 > 0:37:07and I can't think of a better man to curate the collection, frankly.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08Thank you very much!
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- Well done. Thank you very much for all that information.- Pleasure.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Right now, though, I think we need to return to the
0:37:14 > 0:37:18auction to find out how our horrible shower are getting on. Don't you?
0:37:19 > 0:37:23It's full steam ahead and with all guns blazing for our Navy boys
0:37:23 > 0:37:25because we're off to Liverpool.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39So, Adam Partridge, I have to ask you to get to your saleroom here
0:37:39 > 0:37:42in Liverpool from Congleton, how far is it and how long does it take?
0:37:42 > 0:37:45I know that answer, Tim, because I drive here regularly.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48I live in Congleton. It's takes about an hour. It's about 45 miles.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52There we go. 45 miles from where we shopped to Adam's saleroom here in Liverpool.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54And in this saleroom,
0:37:54 > 0:37:56how much are you going to get for this shot carrier?
0:37:56 > 0:38:00- Well, I put £20-£40.- It's a trick question, really.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Because our team paid £128 for this.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07Because of the naval, military background,
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- I guess it kind of struck a chord. - It triggered something in them.
0:38:11 > 0:38:12It certainly did.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15It set off an explosion which was foolhardy,
0:38:15 > 0:38:17because no way does that thing, in my view,
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- make any more than £50 on a very, very good day.- I agree.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22It's a stick stand, really.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25I suppose, in the home, the usage is only really that, isn't it?
0:38:25 > 0:38:30- Next is the plastic-topped simulated hand brush.- Yes.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34Which is a shocker, really. Thank God it's got a silver rim on it.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38Well, exactly, but why have a silver rim, put a plastic middle in it?
0:38:38 > 0:38:40I don't know. Doesn't make sense, does it?
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- I can't explain these things. - Is it worth £5?
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- It's probably worth £10. - They paid £12.- Well, you never know.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- There is some hope.- Yes. - Next is the ship's plaque.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- I was kind with your estimate at £20 to £40.- OK.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55They normally make a tenner each, those. We sell loads of them.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Maritime and shipping sales.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00We usually have an in group lots but you never know.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01£15 is what they paid.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02But no way do those two objects
0:39:02 > 0:39:06make up for the loss on that shot carrier so they are definitely going to need
0:39:06 > 0:39:13one or other of their bonus buys, so let's go and have a look at the experts showing them.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Now, Dave and Bill, this is exciting. Two bonus buys.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22You gave JP £145.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25JP, reveal what you bought for the team bonus buy.
0:39:25 > 0:39:30Well, for a couple of naval men, I couldn't resist... OK?
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Pencil drawing and it's of naval interest.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37By a chap called Edward Tennyson Reed,
0:39:37 > 0:39:39done in the early part of the 20th century.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42And it's a sort of parody of sort of political stuff that was
0:39:42 > 0:39:43going on at the time.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47- That's good, isn't it? - Can we ask the cost?- You can.
0:39:47 > 0:39:53And if I told you I paid only £40 for it you'd think,
0:39:53 > 0:39:54there we are, look, bargain.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57The words came from his lips, so bargain.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58What do you think on the profit side?
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Good question, because it's the naval buyers, I think,
0:40:01 > 0:40:05that will go for it and it depends on how much they are willing to pay.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08It could double its money.
0:40:08 > 0:40:13Anyway, now, the £100, special bonus buy will be revealed. Thank you, JP.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18- Tell us about that.- That's an early 20th-century climbing axe.- Yes.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20It's a cool thing.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24I spent £70 so it's a bit more of an investment than the picture.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Profit wise, difficult to say, really. Will it make a profit?
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- I'd like to think so.- It wouldn't be my first pick.- Would it not?
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Well, the thing is, you don't have to decide
0:40:36 > 0:40:38until after the sale of the first three items.
0:40:38 > 0:40:43You can choose either or of these bonus buys but not both.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Have a little think, chaps, because right now,
0:40:45 > 0:40:48we're going to find out from the auctioneer for the viewers
0:40:48 > 0:40:51at home, what he thinks about JP's bonus buys.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59The team's bonus buy, Adam, is this pencil drawing. Do you like it?
0:40:59 > 0:41:00Well, in this famous maritime city,
0:41:00 > 0:41:03you'd think it's got half a chance, wouldn't you?
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Well, you'd think so, wouldn't you? Anyway, £40 was paid.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- What's your estimate? - I put 30 to 50.- Did you?
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Well, that's in the frame at least.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14And the alternative, Jonathan's special bonus buy is this ice axe.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Yes, which I quite like, actually.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Not much need for an ice axe here in Liverpool
0:41:20 > 0:41:22but I think it's a bit of fun. What would you do with it?
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Hang it on the wall, I suppose. I think £20-£40.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28But I wouldn't be surprised if it might make 50, perhaps.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30It's quite fun.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31Yes. £70 paid by Jonathan.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33He's very keen on all things alpine
0:41:33 > 0:41:37and I have to say that my prediction was that this baby will make
0:41:37 > 0:41:41- the most profit, if there's any profit to be made.- Yes.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45Of course, but I won't be telling the Reds which bonus buy my money is on.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51Now for the Blues and their first item is the Doulton Lambeth pot.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Yes. Well, we see lots of these through the salerooms.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57It's not an uncommon thing, is it? It's big and impressive.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59The Slaters patent, obviously,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02with the lace, real lace on the wet clay to achieve that effect.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Typically £40-£60.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- It never seems much for a big impressive vase, does it?- Exactly.
0:42:08 > 0:42:1140 to 60 is your estimate. Dean paid 50.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Now the fret-carved cartouche mirror,
0:42:14 > 0:42:18which some bloke did in his shed. That's called shed work, right?
0:42:18 > 0:42:22- From the 1920s.- Shed ware. - Shed ware. What's it worth?
0:42:22 > 0:42:24A shed load or not?
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Not that much because it has got some losses, hasn't it?
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- It's not a great order. We're missing pieces.- Right.
0:42:30 > 0:42:35- Needs to go back to the shed. - £20-£40.- Very good. £25 paid.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39And then the last item, which has to be by far the most interesting,
0:42:39 > 0:42:43- is this weird mahogany side chair.- I like it a lot.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Johnstone & Jeanes were seriously good makers, weren't they?
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- They were very good makers. - And patentees of oddball objects.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53This is a great example of a piece of Victorian patent furniture
0:42:53 > 0:42:56that was designed for something that was probably never needed.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59They loved to over-engineer, didn't they, and design things?
0:42:59 > 0:43:01If you had a problem with your back,
0:43:01 > 0:43:04if you had a serious curvature of the spine or some medical
0:43:04 > 0:43:07complaint that you needed a specialist arrangement,
0:43:07 > 0:43:09I bet that's the story behind it.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12- Yes, it's kind of combination backrest chair, isn't it?- Exactly.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15Anyway, I think it's interesting. It's by a great maker.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19- It should do jolly well. What is your estimate?- £60-£100.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22And I think it'll make the top end of that estimate,
0:43:22 > 0:43:24perhaps a touch more.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26- That's exactly where it needs to be, at £120.- OK.
0:43:26 > 0:43:30And if you got to £120, I guarantee you there will be
0:43:30 > 0:43:34- three people jumping around in the room, including me.- Oh, well.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37- Which would be nice.- That would be lovely.- Wouldn't it be nice?
0:43:37 > 0:43:40OK, fine. On the other hand, if you don't do so well,
0:43:40 > 0:43:44then the team is definitely going to need one or other of its bonus buys
0:43:44 > 0:43:48so let's go and have a look at the expert showing the team them.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53Right, chaps. This is exciting. Two bonus buys.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55David Harper, you had £105 worth of
0:43:55 > 0:43:59left over lolly to find the team's bonus buy.
0:43:59 > 0:44:00Let's see what you bought.
0:44:00 > 0:44:05OK, perfect objects for a pair of old sailors.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08THEY LAUGH
0:44:08 > 0:44:13First of all, the team's bonus buy, what might look like dog bowls
0:44:13 > 0:44:16and they could be used as very posh dog bowls.
0:44:16 > 0:44:21A pair of 19th century, what does every sailor need? A spittoon.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26- Heavily disguised as ashtrays.- Could be, that's right.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28You can do what you like with them.
0:44:28 > 0:44:30They're really good quality.
0:44:30 > 0:44:34Copper and cast iron and enamel made by a company called Clark.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36Marked on the underside.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38Made in the 19th century
0:44:38 > 0:44:41and made literally to last for ever. I spent £30 on the pair.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43That's not bad.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45It's all right, isn't it?
0:44:45 > 0:44:49For a pair of spittoons of 120 years in age 30 quid's all right.
0:44:49 > 0:44:51How much do you think there's going to be in this?
0:44:51 > 0:44:56I think they should estimate at 30-50 so there's a small profit
0:44:56 > 0:44:59potential but I couldn't resist spittoons.
0:44:59 > 0:45:00How could I?
0:45:00 > 0:45:03Now, the £100 worth of special
0:45:03 > 0:45:07- bonus buy is therefore the matches. - Yes.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09And a very special purchase too.
0:45:09 > 0:45:10Look at that.
0:45:10 > 0:45:17Circa 100 years old, a big box of matches used to promote the brand
0:45:17 > 0:45:22in a tobacconist, newsagent of some sort during the Edwardian period.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24Or light big candles.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27Or big cigars or whatever you want to use them for.
0:45:27 > 0:45:31But you wouldn't use them now because it would kill the value.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34The glory there is the condition and the fact the majority
0:45:34 > 0:45:38of matches that were first made to go in the box are still there.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41- Quite a rare thing.- How much did you pay for them?- A lot of money.
0:45:41 > 0:45:47- I paid £70.- What do you think the profit's going to be on these?- Um...
0:45:47 > 0:45:49That one online with specialist buyers
0:45:49 > 0:45:52and interested people could do anything. It could surprise you.
0:45:52 > 0:45:57It could make £100 or more. I've never seen that before.
0:45:57 > 0:45:58Advertising memorabilia,
0:45:58 > 0:46:03anything to do with advertising in condition can be very good news.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06You can choose either or of these bonus buys after
0:46:06 > 0:46:10the sale of your first three items. Or neither as you like.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13But right now, for the audience at home, let's find out what the
0:46:13 > 0:46:16auctioneer thinks about David Harper's bonus buys.
0:46:18 > 0:46:23Right, Adam. Here comes the team's bonus buy. A couple of dog bowls.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25How do you rate those then?
0:46:25 > 0:46:28- Are they spittoons?- I think we're safer with dogs.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30- Not as exciting though, is it? - As spittoons?
0:46:30 > 0:46:34Lots of people keep dogs and not so many people spit any more
0:46:34 > 0:46:36so I'd go with dog bowls, me.
0:46:36 > 0:46:41Just a favour from the rostrum, call them both. That will do us a favour.
0:46:41 > 0:46:46- What are they worth?- 20-40 the pair. 20 quid, really.- £30 paid.
0:46:46 > 0:46:49That's the team's bonus buy.
0:46:49 > 0:46:54And the special bonus buy which is the shop display matches,
0:46:54 > 0:46:58- what's your estimate on those?- Very striking but another 20 quid or so.
0:46:58 > 0:47:03- Oh, dear, £70 paid. - That's an awful lot, isn't it?
0:47:03 > 0:47:04I don't know.
0:47:04 > 0:47:08I think if it's on the internet and the matchbox collecting society
0:47:08 > 0:47:11pick it up there will be somebody who is a specialist collector.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13- Who will go for this, I promise you. - You think so?- I do.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15I just hope there are two of them out there.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17What do you think they're going to make then?
0:47:17 > 0:47:21I think they're going to light us all up and make £50.
0:47:21 > 0:47:25My prediction is they will do better than those.
0:47:25 > 0:47:29I'll be keeping stum on what item I'll be placing my bets on.
0:47:29 > 0:47:30They will make more than those
0:47:30 > 0:47:35- but whether they'll lose or make profit, I'm not sure.- OK, fine.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38This is the big mystery and you're going to unlock it from the rostrum.
0:47:38 > 0:47:39- Thank you, Adam.- Pleasure.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42140 online.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46£60.
0:47:47 > 0:47:50Dave and Bill, how are you feeling? All right. Confident?
0:47:52 > 0:47:56- Yes.- Anything you wish you hadn't bought?- About three things.
0:47:56 > 0:48:00The first thing you'll definitely wish you hadn't bought which is
0:48:00 > 0:48:04the painted shot carrier because he's only put £20-40 on it.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07Put that down to our naval expertise.
0:48:07 > 0:48:11Yeah, that's it. There we go. Anyway, here it comes.
0:48:11 > 0:48:15Cartridge carrier could go as a stick stand in the modern home,
0:48:15 > 0:48:18couldn't it? Very nice with the royal coat of arms and a leather strap.
0:48:18 > 0:48:22I'm bid £20. At 20 and 5 now and 5.
0:48:22 > 0:48:2640 and 5. In the room at 45. Is there 50? 55.
0:48:26 > 0:48:33No, 50 ladies bid. Seated at 50. Any more at £50? At £50, all done then.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36No-one online. £50 and selling.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39- Thank you. - It's better than he predicted.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41Which is -78.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45- We're going to claw it all back now. - Hand brush.
0:48:45 > 0:48:47Silver rim, Birmingham 1927.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50Simulated enamelling on it.
0:48:50 > 0:48:51Bid me a tenner.
0:48:52 > 0:48:56£10, a silver rimmed brush. There we are. 10 in the middle.
0:48:56 > 0:49:02At £10 a lady has bid. Any advance on £10? Any further bids at £10? At £10.
0:49:03 > 0:49:06Selling this at £10, all done?
0:49:07 > 0:49:13- Bad luck. -£2. That rounds it up to -80.- Ship's plaque there. £10.
0:49:14 > 0:49:20Online it's £10 internet. At £10. Any advance on £10 for this now?
0:49:20 > 0:49:22At £10 the bid's online.
0:49:25 > 0:49:29That's another -£5 which means overall you're -£85.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32What are we going to do about these multiple bonus buys?
0:49:32 > 0:49:36Are you going to go for the pencil sketch or for the axe or neither?
0:49:36 > 0:49:39- We're going to go for the sketch. - Are you?
0:49:39 > 0:49:42- Did you love it because it's naval? - Without any doubt.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45This is the one I thought would do well too.
0:49:45 > 0:49:49The die is cast, we're going with the team bonus buy and here it goes.
0:49:49 > 0:49:53A bit of fun there. Pencil drawings by Edward Tennyson Reed.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56Will you start me £30, please? £30.
0:49:56 > 0:49:5820 then.
0:49:58 > 0:49:59£20, surely somebody?
0:50:01 > 0:50:04£20 for that? They're all having a good look. £20?
0:50:06 > 0:50:10There we are. £20, thank you. There we are seated at £20.
0:50:10 > 0:50:14Is there 5 anywhere? At £20 now. £20, a pencil drawing at 20.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16Any advance on this now? £20.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21- Such a good thing.- Such a good thing.
0:50:23 > 0:50:27Tragedy. £20 is -£20.
0:50:27 > 0:50:30- Ships sunk.- Ships sunk. Certainly has. Without trace.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34Now, we're going to the Swiss ice axe and her it comes.
0:50:34 > 0:50:41The pick of the lot this one. 20 and 5 is bid. £25 I have on my books.
0:50:41 > 0:50:4830, 5 still with me. At 35 now. £35 here. At 35, you all done with this?
0:50:48 > 0:50:5540 bid. At £40. At £40 I'm selling here. All done at £40?
0:50:57 > 0:50:59£40 is -30.
0:51:01 > 0:51:07I predicted the Bystander sketch would make the most profit.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09In fact it made the least loss
0:51:09 > 0:51:12so I suppose there's some consolation in that.
0:51:12 > 0:51:13There we go.
0:51:13 > 0:51:18So you went with the bonus buy. You were -85, you're now -105.
0:51:18 > 0:51:19That's awful. Sorry.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22Bearing in mind what a blood bath we've had today that could be
0:51:22 > 0:51:24a winning score today.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28Say nothing to your shipmates, OK?
0:51:28 > 0:51:30We have a branch meeting tomorrow night.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32Where the four of us are going to be
0:51:32 > 0:51:35and someone is going to get some stick tomorrow night.
0:51:35 > 0:51:36They certainly are.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38Anyway, somebody will be buying the drinks.
0:51:46 > 0:51:49- So, guys, do you know how your shipmates did?- Not a clue.
0:51:49 > 0:51:51- They haven't said anything?- No.
0:51:51 > 0:51:54They say there's a committee meeting tomorrow night.
0:51:54 > 0:51:59- There's going to be a lot of stick. - We're wearing our fleeces.
0:51:59 > 0:52:00Good for you.
0:52:00 > 0:52:05First up will be the Doulton Slater's Patent vase.
0:52:06 > 0:52:11A good, big decorative lump there. Doulton lamp. £40, bid me.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13£40.
0:52:13 > 0:52:18Is it £40? A lot of Doulton for your money at £40. A bid Doulton vase.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21Come on.
0:52:21 > 0:52:27£30, got to be sold. Give me 30. £30? 20 I've got. At £20 take 5.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29At £20.
0:52:31 > 0:52:37I'll take 30 online. At £25. Is it 30 online or not?
0:52:39 > 0:52:4030 bid in a new place, 5, sir?
0:52:41 > 0:52:43No. 30 only.
0:52:46 > 0:52:545 down here. At 35. Any more now at 35? Are you all done? At £35.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00I'm going to weep.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05Now, the cartouche shaped mirror.
0:53:05 > 0:53:08There it is I'm bid £20 in one place and 5 here.
0:53:08 > 0:53:12At £25, any advance on this lot? At £25 the mirror?
0:53:12 > 0:53:1925, 30 and 5. Still here. I'm selling this now at £35.
0:53:22 > 0:53:23You're -£5 now.
0:53:26 > 0:53:30This is fascinating. Stand by for this.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32Victorian chair with a rotating backrest.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34There it is on the floor there.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37What do we say, I'm bid £60 in one place already.
0:53:37 > 0:53:44At £60 I'll take 5. At £60, any advance on £60 and 5.
0:53:44 > 0:53:5075, 85, 95 here then. At £95 here.
0:53:51 > 0:53:58- Are you all done? At £95. - I can't bear it.- At £95.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04He's done it. -25. Overall you're -£30.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06That is so bad luck.
0:54:06 > 0:54:07A couple more tickles on that
0:54:07 > 0:54:10and you would have got to 150 no trouble.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12As it is you're -£30.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14What are you going to do?
0:54:14 > 0:54:19The spittoon bowls, you could do nothing or you could do the matches.
0:54:20 > 0:54:27- I reckon...- Don't go with any of them?- We'll stick where we are.
0:54:27 > 0:54:31I can tell you now that the spittoon bowls were estimated at £20-40.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34£30 paid, so no shame in that.
0:54:34 > 0:54:40The £70 Bryant & May box job he's estimated at £15-25.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42I think he's quite wrong on that.
0:54:42 > 0:54:46We're going to find out in a minute because my prediction earlier
0:54:46 > 0:54:49was that the matches would make the most.
0:54:49 > 0:54:51- Let's see who's right and who's wrong.- Interesting.
0:54:51 > 0:54:54First up, come the dog's bowls.
0:54:54 > 0:54:57They are 19th century iron and copper by TC Clark and Co of Wolverhampton.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00Fully marked on the base and give me £20 the pair.
0:55:02 > 0:55:07I've got a tenner here. At £10 only. At £10 only.
0:55:08 > 0:55:12At £10, are you all done on these? At £10 only bid.
0:55:12 > 0:55:1415 in the room, thank you.
0:55:16 > 0:55:20At £15 the pair. We're selling at £15.
0:55:21 > 0:55:28- 15 we sell.- Did he sell them for 15? -£15. Good pick, lads.
0:55:29 > 0:55:34- Now, I rate these. - The oversized box of matches.
0:55:34 > 0:55:37Bryant & May, advertising shop display matches with
0:55:37 > 0:55:42a miniature box inside, as well a loads of massive matches in there.
0:55:42 > 0:55:48I'm bid, 10, 15 and 20 only. At £20 is there 5 anywhere? At £20?
0:55:48 > 0:55:56Any advance on these? 25 in the middle. At £25. I'll take 30 next.
0:55:56 > 0:56:03At £25, at 25. It's 25 in the middle. Are you all done? We sell.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07£25, no internet bidding. Shows I don't know anything about anything.
0:56:07 > 0:56:11That's 5 short of 30 which is 45. -45.
0:56:11 > 0:56:14You have made quite the right choice, chaps.
0:56:14 > 0:56:17-£30 is your overall score. We'll find out in a moment
0:56:17 > 0:56:19whether that is a winning score or not.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28OK, chaps. This is exciting, isn't it?
0:56:28 > 0:56:31You're great friends, right? But you're also great rivals.
0:56:32 > 0:56:35There are massive losses on both sides.
0:56:35 > 0:56:38And it's just the scale of the losses
0:56:38 > 0:56:43and the massive scale of losses sits principally with the Reds.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46Yes!
0:56:48 > 0:56:52That has provoked a reaction because you managed to lose £105.
0:56:54 > 0:56:59£105, there is going to be some chat in the bar, I can tell you.
0:56:59 > 0:57:02I'm not going to run through this disaster sheet
0:57:02 > 0:57:04because it all says minus in front of it.
