0:00:03 > 0:00:07Mirror, mirror on the wall, who are the best shoppers of them all?
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Will it be the Reds, will it be the Blues?
0:00:09 > 0:00:14We'll find out in this 60 minute action packed special.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Today we're in Edinburgh and our teams have a mountain to climb.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50They have £300 and an hour to find three items to sell at auction.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53And the winners will be the team that make the fattest profit
0:00:53 > 0:00:55or the slimmest loss.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59But today we've changed the rules slightly.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Because we're not asking the experts
0:01:01 > 0:01:05to buy one bonus buy but two to take to auction.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07And then I'll discuss with them
0:01:07 > 0:01:10which one I think will bring the biggest profit.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15But which one will the teams choose, and will I get it right?
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Here's a quick glimpse as to what's coming up.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Find out who wears the trousers in the old Red team.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Get it now.- The lady's spoken.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- But if it loses...- Get it now.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28He'll take it now, shake the lady's hand.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And comedy sound effects for the Blues.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34SWOOPING SOUND
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Oh!
0:01:35 > 0:01:37But will they have the last laugh?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40This is more fun than I think I've had in years!
0:01:40 > 0:01:42And stay tuned for the auction,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44as the Bargain Hunt lots go under the hammer.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46120. 130.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Yes!- Oh!
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Thank you!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Time to meet the teams.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57Well, we have two teams today who have interests in common,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01and that interest is... Farming.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Stuart and Nicola are a married couple who have an
0:02:04 > 0:02:08interest in breeding rare breeds.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- And Margaret and Ina are farmers' wives.- Yes.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Hello, everyone. - Hello.- Hello.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Stuart, tell us about these rare breeds.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18They're Scottish rare breeds.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I keep Eriskay ponies and Shetland cattle.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25An Eriskay pony is a wonderful, beautiful, normally grey pony
0:02:25 > 0:02:28that comes from the furthest island in the Hebrides,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31the island of Eriskay, and there's only 15 stallions in the world.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Gosh, that's a shortage, isn't it?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36To compare, there's 1,400 giant pandas,
0:02:36 > 0:02:37and they are supposed to be rare.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- You were a club musician, a pianist, were you?- I was a pianist.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46I became a Butlins Redcoat, to get a good grounding in entertainment.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Then I went on to become Lonnie Donegan's keyboard player
0:02:49 > 0:02:52and singing harmonies, so I had to sing down my nose.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- SINGS NASALLY:- Have a drink, have a drink, have a drink on me.- Oh, yes.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59One forgets, doesn't one? The singing down the nose technique.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02In the old days I used to work at a major nightclub.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05People like The Drifters, Gene Pitney, I used to back those.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09I still keep my hand in and I'm doing a Sound Production HNC
0:03:09 > 0:03:11at the grand old age of 64.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Brilliant.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Now, Nicola, you're keen on the rare breeds
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- but you like to write, don't you? - Yes.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21I'm an aspiring author and I'm just waiting to be discovered.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26- And what's your current production? - It's Hippity Hop.- Is it?- Yes.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- It's a story about a little frog. - Would this be for children?- Yes.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32And I've got a wonderful guy who I work with who's done some
0:03:32 > 0:03:36illustrations for me. So I'm going to be the next JK Rowling.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Are you?- I am indeed.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Modest ambition!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Now, what floats your boat when it comes to the antiques between you?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I want to buy something that's little,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47intricate and a little bit quirky.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Just a little bit different.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51OK, so are you going to spend all your cash?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I was brought up in my early life in a village called Kirkconnel,
0:03:54 > 0:03:55a mining village.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59We learned to be very, very, very careful with money indeed.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- I'm going to spend it for him, don't worry.- Oh, all right, fine.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- We've got the usual happily married split.- It's democracy.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Margaret, tell me, how did you and Ina first meet?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14We actually met through the young farmers clubs.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Our husbands were farmers and we entered all the competitions
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- and had great fun.- How many years have you been friends for?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24A long time. 40 or 50 years now.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27We've been on holidays together with the families,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29they've grown up together.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Isn't that lovely?- It is, very nice.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35What sort of farming were you both involved in then?
0:04:35 > 0:04:40Well, I was mainly arable and did some beef cattle.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44I did a lot of the book work, I left all the physical work to my husband.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47What about you, Ina, what sort of farming were you involved in?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Our farm is still involved with sheep and cattle.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Also pigs, but the pigs were basically for my pleasure.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Because I love pigs.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02And my husband allowed me to have a couple of sows.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Apart from the farming lark, you're also keen on curling.- Yes.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09You've been champions, you two, haven't you, quietly?
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Yes, we've done very well, we formed our own team and were invited
0:05:13 > 0:05:17to all these competitions all over Scotland to all the ice rinks.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21This was in the '80s. We won quite a few competitions.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- We actually reached the Scottish finals a few times.- What fun anyway.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Do you collect things connected with curling?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Er... Yes.- With curling.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34We've got quite a few curling stones, trophies and various other things.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37So what sort of things are you going to collect today
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- in the way of antiques? - We like old farming antiques.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Or gardening, I quite like gardening antiques.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47What about you, Ina, what are you going to go for?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51If I saw anything to do with pigs, I just love a pig collection.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Here we go, £300 apiece.- Thank you.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57You know the rules, your experts await and off you go.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Very, very good luck. I'm keen on pigs, too!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04And now time to meet the experts.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Keeping the Reds in line, it's Catherine Southon.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10And who's in charge of the Blues?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Aye, aye, it's Paul Laidlaw.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- You are sportswomen, are you not, curlers?- Yes. That's correct.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- A bit of this.- That's right.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Are you competitive on the back of that?- Very much so.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- Are we going to spend lots today? - We going to spend £225.50.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- She's very exact, isn't she? - We're going to spend £50.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- It's a democracy. - Right, we're off!- We're off!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38We'd better start.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43And as the teams are let loose on the Highland Centre, they'll need to
0:06:43 > 0:06:47listen to the advice of experts as this antiques fair is huge.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Plenty here.- Yes.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51But before we've even got started,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Stuart thinks he's back is holiday camp.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Gottle of geer. Keeker, kiker, kicked a keck of kickled kekker.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01OK, enough fun for now. Time to concentrate. Time to pipe down.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- Stuart.- Yes? - I've found my first buy.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Go one, let me see. - What have you found?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Oh.- What is that, a clay pipe? - It's a clay pipe.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Half a clay pipe. Without the rest of the stem.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16So we've got a 19th century clay pipe.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19It's been chopped off at some point
0:07:19 > 0:07:22but we have still got a name on that which is quite nice.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26It looks like it says L. Fiolet.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28It doesn't mean anything to me, I'm afraid.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31But he has got a nice little doggy face, hasn't he?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Although his eyes do look a bit wonky to me.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Yes, his eyes are wonky but he's just such a character.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38How can you look at that face and not love it?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- And not want it. - Do we know the price?- No, no.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41But we're having it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I don't know. No, because I was told it was a democracy.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Can I ask how much it is? - To a good home, £5, please.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50£5. I'd like him, please.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- You may have him.- Thank you!
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- I do think she's not one to be argued with, is she?- No, definitely not.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- I did get that impression. - Can you see me shaking?- I'm shaking!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- It's just so beautiful. That's what I wanted.- He's lovely.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- I'm glad he's going to a good home. - He certainly is.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11And we'll find out which home the boxer dog pipe is going to
0:08:11 > 0:08:12later at auction.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Now, what have our curling farmers' wives got their eyes on?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- It's a cutlery drawer. - That's correct.- Or tray.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23I think that's walnut or mahogany.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27The base I can tell is actually softwood, it's pine or deal.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28But for me,
0:08:28 > 0:08:33it's all this decorative fretwork here that elevates it to Georgian.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36That's going to be about 200 years old.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39It doesn't look as if there's many things wrong with it.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43You're going about it the right way, it's all about defects.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- What's the Achilles heel if it's there?- Yes.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Could you live with that? Would it go in a farmhouse?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51It certainly would.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55It's very much like what you would use in your cutlery drawers.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- I do like it as well. - The price on that is £75.
0:08:59 > 0:09:05- It's probably worth at auction as little as £40.- Yes.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09So if we wanted it there'd be a job of work to be done.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13And while the Blues decide how much to offer for the cutlery tray,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Stuart has found something that reminds him of home.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- This is like Morecambe in a way. - It is.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- I'm from close to there. - This is quite nice.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24We've got the Albert Memorial in Edinburgh on the back.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27And this is like a little photo album.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32- Unfortunately it's... - We've got this one though.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Which actually has photographs in it. But it hasn't got a clasp.
0:09:35 > 0:09:41- But to resell it's personal to... - Yes.- If it had dogs in it then...
0:09:41 > 0:09:43She'd be well away.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48Back to the Blues. Has Paul managed to cut a deal on the cutlery tray?
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- She's been really generous. She said 45.- 45.
0:09:55 > 0:10:02- I think it's close.- That is farmhouse material. That's great.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- I'm sensing we might have done something.- I agree.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12So, deal done. £45 paid. And one buy apiece.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Now, Nicola has got her teeth into something which is not what
0:10:15 > 0:10:16it seems.
0:10:16 > 0:10:22- That is a piece of scrimshaw and that is a fake.- I was going to say.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25The reason you know it, one of the reasons is it's incredibly heavy.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30This is supposed to be a piece of whale's tooth. It's been engraved.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34But if it was a proper tooth it would have a really deep gorge
0:10:34 > 0:10:38inside. One of the telltale signs, as well is the scene on it.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Here we've got cowboys.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Traditionally we'd have a whaling scene.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46This is totally the wrong scene.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Put it back.- You're wrong.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52As the Reds dump the dud, the Blues are looking for a brew.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59- The kettle.- I think that's a sweet little kettle. It really is.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Sitting in a basket rather than on a stand.
0:11:03 > 0:11:09The quality of the rattan, see the split cane binding to the handle?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I reckon that's a late Victorian one.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- I think you're looking at 1890 there.- Yes.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- It's actually rather sweet. - Do you think it's silver?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22I'm confident that's going to be plate. At auction, 30-50, 40-60.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Yes.- It's no money. It's crazy money.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34£70. It's crazy money for what you get.
0:11:35 > 0:11:3755.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Well...- We could come back. - I think it's a policy.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45So as the Blues go cool on the kettle,
0:11:45 > 0:11:49the Reds' resident musician has found something of note.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- They are very collectable, older harmonicas.- That's the Highlander.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- That's too much, isn't it?- But they are tremendously collectable.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00It's nice that it's in its original case.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02And it's got its instructions with it still.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03In German.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12If it was about £20 I think there would be a slight profit in it.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16That's the ticket price. We might be able to negotiate.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19It's in lovely condition. I don't think that's ever been played with.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- Am I allowed to blow it?- Yes.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Just made it. It was just to see all the reeds with it.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Can I ask a very rude question?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Would you be prepared to drop a lot on this?
0:12:40 > 0:12:41I'd go to 30 and that would be it.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Can't do it but it's a lovely thing.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Would you do 22?
0:12:50 > 0:12:51I could do 25.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56If you do it 24, if it fetches 25 I've made a pound.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- OK, 24.- What do you think? Do you like it?
0:13:02 > 0:13:07- It's not something I would pick up and go, "Wow!"- Because I'm
0:13:07 > 0:13:11fighting an opposition would you mind holding it for 30 minutes?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- The lady's spoken.- Get it now. - But if it loses...- Get it now.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17He'll take it now. Shake the lady's hand.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- She's so feisty. - You're telling me.- There we go.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23- Happy?- Yeah.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Halleluiah.- Halleluiah.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Now we're heading for the halfway mark
0:13:29 > 0:13:31and it's my turn to find something at the fair.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43This frame makes this picture look as if it was painted in 1965.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Which is when the frame was prepared.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Also, it's filthy dirty.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52So the best thing you can do if you come across a period
0:13:52 > 0:13:56picture like this is to take it out of the frame.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57There we go. Look.
0:13:57 > 0:14:03That is the frame dispensed with and it immediately looks a lot better.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06What you have to admire about this picture is
0:14:06 > 0:14:08the freshness of its condition.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11It is as highly coloured as it was the day it was painted.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I reckon, around 1820.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18And this is the typical picture you'd expect to find
0:14:18 > 0:14:21hanging in a Scottish hunting lodge.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25And the way the birds themselves have been painted is quite
0:14:25 > 0:14:26extraordinarily good.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31The feathers on this woodpigeon are practically imperceptible.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37It is as if you could sense the softness of that bird.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41We have to admire the artist's skills.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44And very modestly he signed this watercolour tucked
0:14:44 > 0:14:46away in the corner look, P Syme.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51That is Patrick Syme who was around from the 1770s
0:14:51 > 0:14:55until his death in 1845.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58As to how commercial it is even though it's beautifully
0:14:58 > 0:15:01painted the subject lets it down.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06Collections of dead birds are not exactly incredibly fashionable.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09But there is a market for this artist.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14In fact, quite recently, a similar watercolour sold for over £1,000.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16And therefore I got quite excited
0:15:16 > 0:15:22when I found it down the other end of this hall for sale for £160.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24It's what I call a dead cert.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29Ha! Time to catch up with the teams to see how they're making out.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32They're my two new favourite people in the world. They're just a joy.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Bouncing off one another. Relaxed but assertive.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38They each know what they like and are prepared to say, "I'm no sure."
0:15:38 > 0:15:41So, while confidence is running high in the Blue camp,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44over with the Reds tension is creeping in.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47I'm having terrible trouble getting Catherine moving.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51She keeps standing. We've only seen half the fair.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54There's a whole two rows to go down. Catherine!
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Come in.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58She's trying to find a special thing for us.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Is he like this at home? - I do apologise for him.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- We keep losing you.- I'm not a doggy.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Quite right. So, back to the shop, and our Red Team of rare cattle breeders
0:16:08 > 0:16:11seem to have more time for dogs.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14It's a 1940s pyjama case.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Pyjama case, no time for snoozing.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I don't think nightdress holders are all the rage at the minute.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- I may be wrong.- As the cattle breeders look at doggy stuff,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27our curlers are gearing up for golf.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Are you a golfer? Married to a golfer?- Yes, we are.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- I golf a little and my husband's a golfer.- What's not to like?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Early 20th century silver. I suspect George VI.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Even with the naked eye I can see the marks.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44These lovely little golf club shafts and terminals. What are they worth?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- £50.- Do you think spoons sell well?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I think if they were common or garden silver coffee
0:16:50 > 0:16:54spoons at the moment £30. But with the golf, double that.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- What's he said?- 65.- It looks as though it's the original box.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I think you're right.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03You could get another £10 off, you're not going to go far wrong.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- Hi.- Hello.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- We like the spoons. - We like your spoons.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10But we're wondering
0:17:10 > 0:17:13if you could come down a wee bit more than what you were saying?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16We had 95, leaving you at 65.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- Could you come down another 10? - I'll come down to 60.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25They're on the floor at that.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30We'll leave it just now and come back.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35- Delighted to see you again. - It can't be 55 now and seal it?
0:17:35 > 0:17:40- Go on.- Would you do that? That would be excellent.- For a lovely smile.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Yes.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Good work from Paul there.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Closing the deal just as they were about to walk away.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50So, two buys apiece and we have 15 minutes left
0:17:50 > 0:17:54and as sometimes happens at the fair the teams are finding it hard
0:17:54 > 0:17:56to close in on the third and final buy.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01To be honest, what I don't like is that top silver doesn't match
0:18:01 > 0:18:03that silver, doesn't match that silver.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06It looks like three different shades of silvering.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07That will be a no then.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- It's easy to blow money on jewellery.- I know.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I said blow money but that terminology's all wrong, isn't it?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Invest shrewdly.- Invest shrewdly.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20It's gorgeous. I have a feeling that's going to be really expensive.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- 230.- Absolutely superb. - I've got nice taste.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32I'm taking this myself. This is more fun than I think I've had in years.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Catherine!- Come on, teams. We need to buy, not browse. Tick-tock.
0:18:38 > 0:18:44- Is that a salmon?- In bronze, do we think?- Just a bit different.
0:18:44 > 0:18:51- I think it's really elegant. I'm not sure it's ancient.- No.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54For a bronze sculpture it's not a lot of money.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58If you don't have a sculptor or antiquity what do we have to
0:18:58 > 0:18:59hang our hopes on at auction?
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- That's my concern. Is there a lifeline to throw us?- 65.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- What do you think?- Not for me. - I would like to buy it.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14- You've done very well at 65. - I think we should move on.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- We should move on. - And let's have a look.- OK.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21While the Blues move on the Reds have gone to the dogs, again.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- He's having a scratch. - He is, isn't he?- Yes.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Nice bit of detail there. - Nicely modelled, isn't it?- It is.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28It's brass, not bronze.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31If you saw that at auction, would you buy it?
0:19:31 > 0:19:36No, because this detracts from it. It's too heavy for the greyhound.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40All this larking around with dogs means the Reds are starting to run
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- out of time. - We've got five minutes.- I know.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47I think what we should do is find a stall and blitz it.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49And the Blues need to make a decision.
0:19:49 > 0:19:55- The kettle.- The electric plate spirit kettle which Ina is a fan of?
0:19:55 > 0:20:00- I'm a fan of. And the fish.- And the bronze fish which is Margaret's.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01What do you want to do?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04I would rather go for the kettle than the fish.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Will it make money, do you think?
0:20:06 > 0:20:12- I think it might.- Go for the kettle. We want the kettle.- You sure?- Yes.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15The fish is going to haunt you in your dreams.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18My husband might come back and buy it.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20We'd better run and see if it's there. Come on.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22As the Blues jog off in search of the kettle,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25the Reds are starting to panic.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28You look there, we'll look here and we'll decide.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- I think we should leave him to his own devices.- I think so.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Poor old Stuart being left on his own.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Now, Blues, where's that kettle?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- I think I can see it. - I see it as well.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Hello, sir. We're back.- We're back.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Remind us, how far south did we get on the spirit kettle?
0:20:47 > 0:20:52- Was it 40?- Yes, I can do it for 40. - I'm delighted.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- Is that mutual sighs of relief? - I'm delighted.- It's a nice item.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Isn't it?
0:20:57 > 0:21:04- You've a deal. Thank you very much. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09- Wonderful.- Thank you, Paul. - That was a journey and I loved it.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12With the kettle bought, that's it for the Blues.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18The fish is history. We're never going to mention fish again.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22And with time almost up Stuart has spotted something sparkly
0:21:22 > 0:21:24but can he convince the girls?
0:21:25 > 0:21:29We've got citrine. Victorian brooch here. Is it silver?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- He said 1850 he reckoned. - Is it marked?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Looks like there's a few repairs to this.- Is there?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- How much is on it?- £45.- We've got to buy it. We have one minute.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- What do you think?- It's not what you think. We've got no time.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44We'll buy it because of the time. Go and shake his hand.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Run and shake his hand.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48And as we move into the final seconds Stuart needs to
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- sprint to close the deal in time. - You said 45.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Just so if there's a pound profit will you do it at 44 for me?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56That's pushing it but I'll do it.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Just in case somebody goes to 45 then there's a pound.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04- Thank you very much. - And that's the full hour, folks.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Drives you mad after a while, this bargain hunting.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Time's up! Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15For the clay pipe with the bowl in the shape of a boxer dog,
0:22:15 > 0:22:17they boxed clever and paid just £5.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22For the Highlander harmonica, they had to fork out a few notes.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24£24 paid.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27And for the silver and citrine brooch,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29they spent a sparkling £44,
0:22:29 > 0:22:34leaving Catherine a stonking £227 of left over lolly.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37OK, you lovebirds, how did you get on?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- We had a fantastic time, thank you very much, Tim. - Which is your favourite piece?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42My favourite piece is the one I bought first of all,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45which is the little broken clay pipe with the dog face.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- OK, that's your favourite. - I would agree with Nicola.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50And which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- The little dog pipe. - The little dog pipe.- Yes.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- I think the little dog pipe.- Good.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Now, Catherine, here is a pile of money there,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58which is absolutely fab.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Super. Thank you. - And on this special occasion,
0:23:00 > 0:23:04I'm going to give you the additional £100 bonus buy money.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Lovely.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- So you have got a huge amount of cash.- I have.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10And what I'd love, darling, when you've shopped,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13is to bring the items back, and let's have a chat about them.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- Pleasure.- OK?- Wonderful. - Now, go and relax up.- OK.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18And we're going to go and check out
0:23:18 > 0:23:20what the Blue team bought, aren't we?
0:23:20 > 0:23:24For the mahogany cutlery tray, they forked out £45.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28For the George V novelty golfing spoons,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30they dished out £55.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33And finally, for the Edwardian silver-plated kettle,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35they poured out £40.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Well, everybody's looking very smiley here, Paul.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43So, Mags, tell me, darling, which is your favourite piece?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Um, I think the spoons, the silver teaspoons.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50- And which is your favourite piece? - I like the wooden cutlery.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- I adore it.- That's your favourite.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- Well, I think so.- Do you?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Yeah.- I think the silver spoons might.- OK.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- You're going to dig in there, aren't you?- Yes, aye.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- Anyway, you had a good time, which is the main thing.- Yes.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Thoroughly enjoyed it. - And how much did you spend?- £140.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Please, can I have the £160 leftover lolly?- Yes.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Well, that's really super, isn't it?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12And the big thrill is now, of course,
0:24:12 > 0:24:18- what will Paul Laidlaw find to spend your £160 on?- Oh, yes.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21And we have a second wonderful moment,
0:24:21 > 0:24:22because I'm going to give Paul
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- an additional £100 of leftover lolly...- Oh, nice!
0:24:26 > 0:24:29..especially for him to find a second bonus buy.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Just one thing I ask you, Paul, is when you've found your items,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35if you bring them back to me and we'll have a little look, OK?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Anyway, relax up, girls. Good luck, Paul.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Right, bonus buy time for Catherine, and remember,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43she needs to buy not one but two items.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46And her team will decide which one they want,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49if they decide to go with the bonus buy at auction.
0:24:49 > 0:24:55I can just hear Stuart saying no to everything that I pick up.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Well, let's hope not.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Now, first up, it's the regular team bonus buy,
0:24:58 > 0:25:03and she's got a big fat wad of leftover lolly - £227.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Hi. You had a letter opener earlier, Mary Queen of Scots.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- It was, yes.- Have you still got it? - I do, here.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- Fabulous.- With its little thistle. - I like this.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- I like the wood.- Is it a pear wood?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Well, Mary Queen of Scots stayed in this house in Jedburgh
0:25:19 > 0:25:21in 1566 for four weeks,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24and the house is surrounded by pear trees.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Right. It is engraved.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27That looks like it's all in Latin.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32Then the other side, it says, "From her Jedburgh garden".
0:25:32 > 0:25:35It's obviously a tree that was around when she was there
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- that's been taken down, probably 100 years ago.- Right.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Somebody's carved this letter opener.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41So we're thinking this was made turn-of-the-century,
0:25:41 > 0:25:42I would have thought?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Turn-of-the-century, possibly even back as far as 1860.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46I like the feel of it.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50I think it feels wonderful. How much?
0:25:50 > 0:25:54It's £95 on the ticket, but I know you're not going to give me that.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Can I give you £50 for it?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- It's the end of the day, yes.- Yeah?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- Are you happy with that?- Yes, I am.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04That's wonderful. Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Because I think my team will be absolutely delighted with this.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08- They should be. I love it.- I hope so.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Now Catherine's on the hunt for her special £100 bonus buy,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15and I've just found something that's pretty as a picture,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17and it might just help out.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Now, Catherine, darling, tell me,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21how are you getting on with all these bonus buys?
0:26:21 > 0:26:25I don't mind telling you, Tim, this is no easy task.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- This extra one is pretty hard. - You've got one already?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30I've got one already, it's just this extra one.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Well, listen, I just want to slip this by you,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34because...I shouldn't really do this,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36and don't tell Paul, all right,
0:26:36 > 0:26:38but I've found this little watercolour.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39What do you think about it?
0:26:39 > 0:26:43My first thing is, I think it's very sweet. Who is this down there?
0:26:43 > 0:26:44"Craiglockhart".
0:26:44 > 0:26:47That's a little place five miles from here
0:26:47 > 0:26:49on the outskirts of Edinburgh.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52What I can't do is to make out the name of the artist. Can you?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Arthur Black... Somebody.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58But it's painted in "80", so I'm guessing 1880.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- 1880.- 1880.- Exactly right.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01It's lovely, isn't it?
0:27:01 > 0:27:02I think it's quite rustic,
0:27:02 > 0:27:06and I just think the little red roofs are quite sweet.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08I know, and a few Scottish hills.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Anyway, I found it, I've paid for it.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13If you want it, you could have it
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- maybe as an additional bonus buy if you're a bit stuck.- How much?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- £20.- No!- Yes!
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Where did you find it? - Just down there.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23SHE LAUGHS
0:27:23 > 0:27:25I will have this. No question there, Tim.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Always nice to do a good turn for an old mate.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31And now let's have a proper look at both buys.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Well, isn't that lovely?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34What do you think of that? What do you make of that?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37It's a queer old thing, isn't it?
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Fruit wood. Nice colour.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- Very Scottish with a wee heart in it.- I know.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43I think that's charming, actually.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46I love the fact that we've got the iris on one side,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48we've got the heart, and then the other side
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- is decorated with the thistle.- Yeah. - It's quite charming, isn't it?
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Yes, I've fallen in love with it. How much did you pay?- £50.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- That's a speculative job, isn't it? - I know.- It's a nifty 50.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- It could go either way.- Yes. - I'm hoping it doubles.- Yes.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03My hope is that it doubles too.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05- I mean, find another one, quite frankly.- Absolutely.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10I've never seen the like, and I think it's charming. £50 paid.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- Now, this is our friend, isn't it? - Yes.- Do you like it?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- I mean, you're not being nice to me, are you?- I'm not being nice to you.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17I have really warmed to this. I think it's tremendous.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19I think it's a great thing.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20We know it cost £20,
0:28:20 > 0:28:24and we know that it needs the research done by Anita's lot
0:28:24 > 0:28:26to try and find the artist's name,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29and that is what the value will hinge on.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31It's a Scottish painting in Scotland,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- so it should do pretty well.- I cannot believe you paid £20 for it.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37It's an absolute steal. You've got to put £60-£80 on that, haven't you?
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Well, £50-£70, anyway. Something like that.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43- I'm in there at £40-£60, or £50-£70.- It's a delight.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46If you then said to me, "Which one is going to bring the biggest profit?"
0:28:46 > 0:28:48I have a funny feeling that the painting
0:28:48 > 0:28:49might bring the biggest profit,
0:28:49 > 0:28:51because it's such a cheap base price.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- Absolutely.- Not that you might not get £30 profit out of this
0:28:54 > 0:28:57and make £80 with the paper knife - that is a perfect possibility -
0:28:57 > 0:29:00but you might just as well make £80 on that, and that only cost £20,
0:29:00 > 0:29:03in which case you're going to make £60 worth of profit.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05That is a charming thing. I think we'll do very well with that.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Well, let us hope so.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Anyway, I wonder how that poor man, Paul Laidlaw,
0:29:10 > 0:29:12is getting on out there.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Poor Paul has actually got £160 of leftover lolly
0:29:15 > 0:29:20for his regular team bonus buy, and he's got an arty crafty plan.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25I would love to buy the ladies some jewellery.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27And I think I've maybe found something that...
0:29:27 > 0:29:30I don't know what their taste is, but I'm hoping they'll like it.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Well, let me tell you why I like this.
0:29:37 > 0:29:42Ruskin Pottery set up in 1895, 1896, 1897, 1898, something like that.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46Named after Ruskin the art critic, art historian, social thinker.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48A really important man.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50And of course he's key in the evolution
0:29:50 > 0:29:53of the concept of the Arts and Crafts movement.
0:29:53 > 0:29:58Ruskin Pottery are famed for production of novel glazes,
0:29:58 > 0:29:59and this is a great example.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02It's a fabulous ceramic bobble
0:30:02 > 0:30:08set in an Arts and Crafts-inspired pewter body as a brooch.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10And a splendid big example it is, too.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12I hope the ladies like it.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15The ticket price is £65, but I've been told
0:30:15 > 0:30:18it can be bought for £35,
0:30:18 > 0:30:20and I like the sound of that very much.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21HE LAUGHS
0:30:21 > 0:30:23He's sounding cocky, isn't he?
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Now Paul is after his special £100 bonus buy,
0:30:27 > 0:30:31and he's spotted something sporty and a tad controversial.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36This is a mid-19th-century goblet.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Faceted stem, round funnel bowl, plain foot.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40That's the technicalities over.
0:30:40 > 0:30:45But rather gruesomely, it depicts cockfighting,
0:30:45 > 0:30:49and here we have two birds attacking one another,
0:30:49 > 0:30:52and the end result was one proud cockerel
0:30:52 > 0:30:56astride the dead body of its opponent.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59That is a window into this -
0:30:59 > 0:31:01thankfully bygone -
0:31:01 > 0:31:04offensive sport.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07And as such, an arguably rather interesting
0:31:07 > 0:31:09piece of social history.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11The price today is £45.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14If you're not offended by it,
0:31:14 > 0:31:18and you see it as rather a scarce Victorian
0:31:18 > 0:31:20commemorative goblet,
0:31:20 > 0:31:23I think it could be worth double that or more.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26That is a deal.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30And now time to have a quick squiz at Paul's two bonus buys.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- This is the team's bonus buy? - Yes, it is.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- Looks like Ruskin.- It is indeed.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- Rrrrruskin. - THEY BOTH LAUGH
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Potty little Wolverhampton firm.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43- Not in business for long, were they?- Yeah.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Late 1890s to about '35 - the mid 30s.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49My favourite story about Ruskin pottery -
0:31:49 > 0:31:54it might be a myth - is that when the firm was wound up in '35,
0:31:54 > 0:31:58they burnt the formulae for all the glazes
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- deliberately, so they couldn't be reproduced.- Really?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- It could be a myth, but I like it nonetheless.- Yeah, good story.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07I didn't realise that.
0:32:07 > 0:32:13So this Ruskin brooch, it's sort of stamped out of white metal,
0:32:13 > 0:32:14isn't it?
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Yeah, pewter, I would guess.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19And then they've taken these discs, which are high-fired,
0:32:19 > 0:32:22and attractive because of the colour.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24That's what it is.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27And really pretty. You've seen one, you've seen them all.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30You'll spot them at 100 yards, these distinctive cabochon.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Rather large specimen.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- So how much did you pay for that? - £35.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- Is that all?- It should be easy, shouldn't it?- I don't know.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- What do you rate them at, £60? - Yeah, I'd be happy with that.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Yeah, but I would be happy with that. Will it make £60?
0:32:43 > 0:32:44- Yeah, I think it might.- OK, fine.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46That's that, then, for the team's bonus buy.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- And this would be the special £100 bonus buy.- Yeah.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51This is special as well.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- So we have a faceted stem...- Yes.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57..which is usually a bit of a Georgian-y sign, isn't it?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Not in this instance.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- It's a 19th-century glass, isn't it? - It is, yeah.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- A 19th-century glass that's copying a Georgian faceted stem.- Absolutely.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Lovely, big, broad foot.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10This is not a glass that's going to tip over in a hurry, is it?
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- So, you know, the design is nice. But then we've got this stuff.- Yes.
0:33:14 > 0:33:20Yes. So did you pay for that...£50?
0:33:20 > 0:33:22- Got it for £45.- £45.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Well, it's in good nick.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Find another acid-etched
0:33:26 > 0:33:31and wheel-engraved wee glass like that, good.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Right, I'm going to plump that the cockfighting glass
0:33:35 > 0:33:39is the thing that is going to bring you the whack of profit.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42And maybe the teams, if they decide to go with them.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Thanks very much, Paul.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Meanwhile, we're heading off to the smoke.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47We're going to London,
0:33:47 > 0:33:49where we're going to go to the military museum at Woolwich.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Boom, boom.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01Do you know why the Arsenal Football Club are called the Gunners?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Well, apparently,
0:34:03 > 0:34:07the club started just up the road here in a park in Woolwich.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10And you don't need to look very far around here
0:34:10 > 0:34:13to make the connection with guns,
0:34:13 > 0:34:17because this is the Woolwich Arsenal,
0:34:17 > 0:34:21where they produced thousands of barrels for cannon
0:34:21 > 0:34:24and millions of rounds of ammunition
0:34:24 > 0:34:27until they packed up shop in 1994.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30The Royal Artillery dates to 1716,
0:34:30 > 0:34:34when the Duke of Marlborough persuaded King George I
0:34:34 > 0:34:37to establish two permanent companies of field artillery.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41They were stationed here at Woolwich, enlisting 100 men each.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47In the 20th century, as World War I spread throughout Europe,
0:34:47 > 0:34:50the Royal Arsenal expanded steadily,
0:34:50 > 0:34:54and at its peak, it employed 80,000 people,
0:34:54 > 0:34:57more than the capacity of Arsenal's football stadium today.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Part of this site has been redeveloped
0:35:02 > 0:35:07as Firepower: The Museum of the Royal Artillery.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09As you can imagine, the collection of guns
0:35:09 > 0:35:13and rockets on display here is vast.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Actually, over 80 field pieces,
0:35:16 > 0:35:21some of which date back to as early as 1340.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22And in the 14th century,
0:35:22 > 0:35:25as guns first appeared on the battlefield,
0:35:25 > 0:35:28they immediately changed the way warfare was conducted forever.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Firepower's collection charts the progress of artillery
0:35:32 > 0:35:35through the centuries.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37And we're going to start off with this gun,
0:35:37 > 0:35:40which dates from the Civil War period,
0:35:40 > 0:35:42so mid-17th century.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44It's called a Falconet,
0:35:44 > 0:35:47because it fires a shot
0:35:47 > 0:35:50which is roughly the weight of a falcon.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54That is about a pound.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Trotting along, we come through to the 1750s
0:35:58 > 0:36:01with this gun, which is called a Galloper.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Called a Galloper because it's now mounted
0:36:04 > 0:36:06on an extremely mobile carriage,
0:36:06 > 0:36:11enabling the artillery to trot or gallop this gun
0:36:11 > 0:36:15wherever support is needed for the troops.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Next, we have a relic from the Indian Empire.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21This is called a Mysorean cannon
0:36:21 > 0:36:24because it comes from the state of Mysore,
0:36:24 > 0:36:27and is effectively loot.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Having defeated Tipu Sultan,
0:36:29 > 0:36:31this cannon was seized
0:36:31 > 0:36:35and then remounted on a British carriage.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38And it's a very beautiful example, I think.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42And lastly in this little run, something else from Tipu Sultan -
0:36:42 > 0:36:47a mortar cast in solid bronze.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Tipu Sultan was known as "the Tiger of Mysore",
0:36:50 > 0:36:52and therefore not surprisingly,
0:36:52 > 0:36:55this thing is cast in the form of a tiger.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57I love his toe-toes.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59The fact that this enormous mouth
0:36:59 > 0:37:03is cast with teeth as if his jaws are open.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08Not apparently incredibly effective as a piece of artillery,
0:37:08 > 0:37:11but it made the most incredible bang
0:37:11 > 0:37:13when it was set off to scare everybody.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16It's a question of shock and awe.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Early guns were beset with problems
0:37:20 > 0:37:23like recoil, loading speed and accuracy.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Through the 18th and 19th centuries,
0:37:25 > 0:37:27technology steadily improved,
0:37:27 > 0:37:30and by the First World War, the problems were mainly ironed out.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33I'm meeting curator Mark Smith
0:37:33 > 0:37:35to learn more about the biggest artillery battle of all time.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40This is the British 18-pounder quick-firing field gun.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43This is the standard British field gun from the First World War.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- They made over 10,000 of these here at the Royal Arsenal.- You jest!
0:37:47 > 0:37:51No, not at all. Absolutely the iconic gun from the First World War.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53And by the end of the First World War,
0:37:53 > 0:37:5511th of November 1918,
0:37:55 > 0:37:59had fired just about 100 million rounds of 18lb ammunition
0:37:59 > 0:38:00towards the enemy.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04- So this is the major tool in the First World War, then?- Absolutely.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07And did it go on much after the First World War?
0:38:07 > 0:38:08Yes, as a gun itself,
0:38:08 > 0:38:11slightly different carriage, it was still being used at Dunkirk in 1940.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14So a real mainstay of the British Army's artillery
0:38:14 > 0:38:18throughout the First World War, the '20s and the '30s.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20It's been a real treat, thank you.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22And I think the big question now is,
0:38:22 > 0:38:24over at the auction,
0:38:24 > 0:38:26just how explosive are things about to become?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32So, we're back off to Scotland, to Glasgow,
0:38:32 > 0:38:34to meet Anita Manning at Great Western Auctions.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Anita, how are you? - I'm great. And welcome to Scotland.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42Now, the Reds, they've gone for a curious mixture.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46First of all this clay pipe bowl. That's odd, isn't it?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48The thing that makes this one interesting
0:38:48 > 0:38:50is the fact that the dog's face
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- has been moulded on the bowl of the pipe, and I like that.- Yeah.
0:38:53 > 0:38:58- You do. What's it worth? - I put it around about £10-£15.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00You are such a generous girl, I tell you! They paid £5.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04- Ah, that's OK.- Will they get a profit on that?- Oh, they should.- Good.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Next up is the Highlander harmonica.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Not very old that thing, is it?
0:39:08 > 0:39:10No, it's not, but it's an interesting thing.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14This harmonica has been specially tuned
0:39:14 > 0:39:16so that it can accompany,
0:39:16 > 0:39:19or it can play with bagpipes.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- Oh, really?!- Yes.- Gosh!
0:39:21 > 0:39:25- What's it worth? - I've estimated this 30-40.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26£24 paid.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28So that's pretty good, isn't it?
0:39:28 > 0:39:31And, lastly, is the citrine and silver brooch.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33That, I guess, is Scottish.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37Yes, it is, and it's a nice Victorian example.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40I particularly like that very pale citrine.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42It gives it a subtlety.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46- What's it worth?- 40-60.- £44 paid.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49So, I think it's an interesting trio.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Cost them only £73 for their three items,
0:39:52 > 0:39:54but I think there's potential for profit there.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Whether they'll need the bonus buys or not is debatable,
0:39:57 > 0:39:59but let's go and have a look at 'em!
0:40:00 > 0:40:02- Hi, team, this is exciting, isn't it?- Yes, it is.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06You spent a miserable £73, you gave Catherine Southon £227 -
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Catherine, what did you spend it on?
0:40:09 > 0:40:11I bought something a little bit...unusual.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- Yes.- I bought you...
0:40:15 > 0:40:17- a paper knife.- All right.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20But I don't think it's an ordinary paper knife,
0:40:20 > 0:40:23because if you look very closely...
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- Jedburgh. Mary Queen of Scots. - Uh-huh.
0:40:26 > 0:40:32Now, this could've been made from a pear tree, perhaps,
0:40:32 > 0:40:34in Jedburgh Gardens,
0:40:34 > 0:40:37so maybe like a souvenir.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40It's not as old... It doesn't date back to Mary Queen of Scots.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42It doesn't date back to the 16th century!
0:40:42 > 0:40:45- It wasn't her personal one. - But it's an Arts and Crafts piece.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49- It cost £50.- So how much do you reckon it's going to make?
0:40:49 > 0:40:52I can see a lot of people getting interested in this,
0:40:52 > 0:40:54because of the Jedburgh connection.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56So, that's the team's bonus buy.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59The special bonus buy is...
0:40:59 > 0:41:00watercolour.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- Oh, wow.- Look at that.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03That is lovely.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Craiglockhart is the scene,
0:41:06 > 0:41:09done by a water colourist,
0:41:09 > 0:41:11an amateur hand.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Catherine decided to go with this for £20.
0:41:15 > 0:41:20- £20.- I just think the colours on that are really beautiful.- Yeah.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22It's got to be worth £50, isn't it?
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- Not to me!- Not to you! - SHE LAUGHS
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- We're not selling this very well, are we?- See, to me, it is.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Do you not think that that's worth £50? I do.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Can we have an argument... I mean a discussion about it now, please?
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Happy days, then.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38But right now the auctioneer, Anita Manning,
0:41:38 > 0:41:41is going to tell us what she thinks about Catherine's bonus buys.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46We've got the letter knife for the team's bonus buy
0:41:46 > 0:41:49and that's the special bonus buy, the wee watercolour.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Now, what do you make of that, darling?
0:41:51 > 0:41:53I think that this is a lovely little item.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Now, we know that Mary Queen of Scots
0:41:56 > 0:41:59visited Jedburgh in the 1500s
0:41:59 > 0:42:02and we know that the house that she stayed in
0:42:02 > 0:42:04had a pear-wood garden.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08So I think that we have a lovely association there.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- I mean, this isn't 500 years old.- No, no.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14I mean, they chopped the tree down, and in the 19th century
0:42:14 > 0:42:18made it into a wee letter knife and inscribed it, which is charming.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20- What's your estimate?- £50-£80.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24OK, well, Catherine paid £50 for it, so that's pretty good.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27And this is the special bonus buy
0:42:27 > 0:42:29which, I have to say, I found for her.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33Have we discovered anything about the artist? Who is the artist?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35The artist is Arthur Blackwood.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Unfortunately not a listed artist,
0:42:38 > 0:42:42but what I would call a good Sunday painter,
0:42:42 > 0:42:45a good amateur painter in 1889.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48I guess because it's by an unknown hand
0:42:48 > 0:42:50it probably doesn't have a great value, then?
0:42:50 > 0:42:5225-40.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54OK, well, I found it for £20.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57We rated it, but actually it looks as if the paper knife
0:42:57 > 0:43:00is likely to be the favourite in the auction.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04Anyway, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06First up is their cutlery tray.
0:43:07 > 0:43:08Which is handy, isn't it?
0:43:08 > 0:43:11You put napkins in it, cutlery in it, whatever you like, really?
0:43:11 > 0:43:14Good, functional item, it's quite a nice item as well,
0:43:14 > 0:43:16with this fretwork here,
0:43:16 > 0:43:20and in the centre with the carrying handle.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22- OK, so how much?- 40-60.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24OK, £45 paid. So that's good.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27Then we've got the golfing novelty teaspoons.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30How popular are they today,
0:43:30 > 0:43:32these things, that relate to golf?
0:43:32 > 0:43:35Scotland loves all things associated with golf,
0:43:35 > 0:43:40because, really, Scotland was the birthplace of golf.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42I like these ones in particular,
0:43:42 > 0:43:46because they have... The finials are these little lofting irons.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49- Right.- And I think that's rather nice.- How much?
0:43:49 > 0:43:53- 50-80.- OK, £55 paid, so that's on the right side too.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56And what about the spirit kettle?
0:43:56 > 0:43:59Not something anybody these days would ever use,
0:43:59 > 0:44:02you'd have it on the sideboard, bit of a bore to clean.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05- But it's got some nice features, hasn't it?- That's right.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08I mean, you've got this lovely cane handle, I like that.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10And it sits in this smart basket
0:44:10 > 0:44:12with lovely little feet.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15It's a bit of a mixture of different styles.
0:44:15 > 0:44:17You want it to be in the sale already, don't you?
0:44:17 > 0:44:20- How much?- 20-40.- They paid £40.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23So if there's going to be a dark hole into which they plunge
0:44:23 > 0:44:26the kettle will be the point of entry.
0:44:26 > 0:44:27If they don't do well
0:44:27 > 0:44:29they'll need one or other of their bonus buys,
0:44:29 > 0:44:31so let's go and have a look at them.
0:44:31 > 0:44:35OK, girls, this is fun. The reveals, look.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38You gave Paul Laidlaw £160 of leftover lolly.
0:44:38 > 0:44:40Paul, what did you spend it on?
0:44:40 > 0:44:42The team's bonus buy.
0:44:42 > 0:44:46This is it. I think this is made for you, but I could be wrong!
0:44:47 > 0:44:50- Oh, yes!- Oh, yes. Yes.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52- Oh, gorgeous.- I was right!
0:44:52 > 0:44:56There's a name that we associate with these, and it's Ruskin.
0:44:56 > 0:44:57Ruskin Pottery.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00- Oh, yes, yes.- Named after the great art critic, of course,
0:45:00 > 0:45:03dates to 1920s, 1930s.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06I love the colours. That's my colours.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10- Blue, of course.- Yes.- The Blue team, blue.- I love the colours.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14I think it's lovely too. Nice to be worn as a brooch. Yes.
0:45:14 > 0:45:19- I spent £35.- Oh, my word. - Oh, well, you see..
0:45:19 > 0:45:21That's a surprise, yes.
0:45:21 > 0:45:24Anywhere it's worth £30-£50.
0:45:24 > 0:45:28Here, today, I think it's worth 40-60.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30OK, well, there we got the lowdown on the team's bonus buy.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33Now we have the special bonus buy, the extra £100
0:45:33 > 0:45:35that Paul Laidlaw was given
0:45:35 > 0:45:38to find something special for this programme.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40The special bonus buy is....
0:45:40 > 0:45:42- Ta-dum!- Oh, very nice.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44There you go, Paul, tell us about it.
0:45:44 > 0:45:45Oh, I like that too.
0:45:45 > 0:45:51It is a goblet, but it's the wheel cutting that makes it special.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55Albeit it's tainted - cockfighting.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57- Ah, right.- Cockfighting!
0:45:57 > 0:46:02It's a rare memento of those times and that sport.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05I paid, and I think this was a gift,
0:46:05 > 0:46:09- £45.- That's a good... - Think we'll make much profit on that?
0:46:09 > 0:46:10That could do three figures.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13You've got a big decision ahead of you, cos you like both of them.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16But you won't get your opportunity to pick until after the sale
0:46:16 > 0:46:19of the first three items and then you'll get your chance.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21You'll have to stand by, cos right now,
0:46:21 > 0:46:25let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Paul's bonus buys.
0:46:26 > 0:46:30There's the team's bonus buy and the special bonus buy.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32What do you make of the Ruskin brooch?
0:46:32 > 0:46:34I think it's quite a nice thing.
0:46:34 > 0:46:38It's the type of thing that the Glasgow punters like.
0:46:38 > 0:46:39Very Arts and Crafts-y.
0:46:39 > 0:46:42In fact, it may even have been something that was made
0:46:42 > 0:46:45in evening classes in Glasgow School of Art.
0:46:45 > 0:46:49- My estimate is 30-50.- £35 was paid.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52Now, the bonus buy that I backed
0:46:52 > 0:46:56is the engraved glass in Georgian style.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58- Do you like it? How do you rate it?- I do.
0:46:58 > 0:47:02You can't help liking the quality of the engraving
0:47:02 > 0:47:05on this glass and I'm sure that will be appreciated.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08OK, so £45 Paul paid for that.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11- What sort of estimate can you put on it?- 40-60?- OK.
0:47:11 > 0:47:15Well, it's in the lap of the gods as to which one will do best.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18It just depends on your skill on the rostrum, Anita.
0:47:18 > 0:47:23- I will do my best for all of the items.- That's undoubted.
0:47:23 > 0:47:2760, 70, 80, 90.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29100.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31- You OK?- I'm perfect. - Fine, thank you.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34So how's the wait for the auction served you?
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Feeling a bit nervous, Stu?
0:47:36 > 0:47:38Not really nervous, just worried.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41- Which are you worried about? - The brooch.- Are you?
0:47:41 > 0:47:44- Why are you worried about it? - I just think it's a little bit dear.
0:47:44 > 0:47:48- At £44?- Yes.- The auctioneer, she's put 40-60.
0:47:48 > 0:47:49She really loves it.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53- Good.- You've got nothing to worry about.- Fantastic.- You can relax.
0:47:53 > 0:47:57First up is the old clay pipe bowl
0:47:57 > 0:47:59and here it comes.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01The 19th-century clay pipe bowl
0:48:01 > 0:48:06with the front modelled as a boxer dog
0:48:06 > 0:48:10with a very strange expression on its face.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13£30 for the novelty pipe. 30, 20.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15£20?
0:48:15 > 0:48:19- For all that fun? £10. 10 bid. - We got 10!
0:48:19 > 0:48:20With you, sir, at 10.

0:48:30 > 0:48:31- Well done.- That's £5.
0:48:32 > 0:48:35This is quite an interesting item.
0:48:35 > 0:48:39It's a Hohner Highlander double-sided harmonica,
0:48:39 > 0:48:45tuned to accompany traditional Scottish and Celtic music
0:48:45 > 0:48:46with the bagpipes,
0:48:46 > 0:48:48and as you know, gentlemen,
0:48:48 > 0:48:53every girl loves a guy who can play the harmonica.
0:48:56 > 0:48:57Really?
0:48:57 > 0:48:59£50? 50.

0:49:45 > 0:49:47- Yes!- £50 is good enough.- Way!
0:49:47 > 0:49:51Plus 6 equals plus £37.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53Your total is plus £37.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56What do you want to do about the bonus buys?
0:49:56 > 0:49:58- We don't know yet.- Choose it.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01- Choose it?- You've got it worked out.- Democracy.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03- There you go.- Undo it.- Ooh!
0:50:05 > 0:50:06Opener.

0:51:10 > 0:51:12Will that be a winning score?
0:51:12 > 0:51:14Anyway, you didn't select the other bonus buy,
0:51:14 > 0:51:17the special bonus buy, which we're going to sell now
0:51:17 > 0:51:19and if it makes a profit, it goes to charity.
0:51:19 > 0:51:23This charming watercolour of Craiglockhart Castle and hill
0:51:23 > 0:51:26as it was at that time and no longer is.

0:51:44 > 0:51:47£40, then. It's plus £20.
0:51:47 > 0:51:48I had to make a suggestion
0:51:48 > 0:51:50as to which was going to bring the biggest profit.
0:51:50 > 0:51:54I selected the watercolour which made exactly the same profit
0:51:54 > 0:51:56as the letter opener, so we're quits on that.
0:51:56 > 0:51:59Anyway, the £20 will go to charity, so well done for that, Catherine.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01Two very nice bonus buy profits.
0:52:01 > 0:52:05- You're plus £57. Don't say a word to the Blues.- Lips are sealed.

0:52:16 > 0:52:21- OK, Margaret, Ina, have you found out how the Reds got on?- No.- Good.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23- No.- We don't want you to either.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26Anyway, first up, then, will be the cutlery tray and here it comes.
0:52:26 > 0:52:32This fine, 19th-century, Georgian, two-division, mahogany cutlery tray.
