0:00:02 > 0:00:06Today we're in a centre of edu-macation,
0:00:06 > 0:00:10but we've taken a day off our studies to go bargain hunting!
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Today, we're at Derby University,
0:00:41 > 0:00:47home to academics and today to Jaguar Antiques fairs, so I hope
0:00:47 > 0:00:50our teams have done their revision if they're serious about winning.
0:00:50 > 0:00:57Each team, as usual, will get £300 and one hour to go shopping for three items to sell on
0:00:57 > 0:01:00later at auction and, hopefully, make a load of money.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Coming up today, the Reds impress Kate with their decision-making techniques.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07One, two, three.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08- Oh, no!- We have it.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10OK, let's have it, please.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12But not all their items are quite what they seem.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- Now, guess what that is? - Is a plant pot?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18And the auctioneer tried his hardest.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22It's lost a lot of money! Get them out of a hole. Oh, no!
0:01:22 > 0:01:25That's all for a later. But first...
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Whichever team makes the most profit wins.
0:01:28 > 0:01:34Knowledge, of course, counts and let's hope the teams have got lots of it and let's go and meet them.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45Today, we have the amazing Red duo of mother and son, with Andrew and Hillary.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Welcome. And for the Blues good friends, Lydia and Marley.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Welcome. Now, you two as a mother and son combo are going to be the most amazing team?
0:01:54 > 0:01:55- I hope so.- Definitely.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Yes! It says here that Andrew is going to be very good for bargaining
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and Hillary is going to be good at ensuring a profit.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- I hope so.- Yes.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06You ought to be all right at this, Hillary.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Yes, I am an accountant, so I do know how profits, in theory, are calculated.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Whether we'll be so lucky today I don't know, but I hope so.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- And in your spare time you like to go tap dancing?- Indeed, I do.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Have you got your tap shoes? - I didn't bring them, sorry.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- Bring them to the auction, that would be fun. - If you would like me to, OK.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Andrew, you're a great fan of dancing too. - I am, but no particular form.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- I just bust loose. - Oh, do you?- Oh, yes.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- But you are musical, aren't you? - I'm the lead guitarist of a band.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34What's the name?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- It's The Backfire Effect. - I love the name.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39No, we don't!
0:02:39 > 0:02:42And what do you do when you're not getting your groove in?
0:02:42 > 0:02:47I'm a student at Northampton University. I'm going to become a primary school teacher.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52And is this a vocation that kind of came at you all of a sudden or have you always wanted to do it?
0:02:52 > 0:02:56I did work experience at my old primary school when I was 16
0:02:56 > 0:03:00and then I was going to be a computer games designer, but then after a year, as Mum would say,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04bit of an epiphany, I said, "I want to be a primary school teacher."
0:03:04 > 0:03:09- So, off I went to Northampton and here I am.- I think you're going to do very well today.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10How do you two know each other?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I met Marley in a club.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15We were a little bit drunk and dancing to Stevie Wonder.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19After that, I go to a lot of car boot sales
0:03:19 > 0:03:22and Marley had never been, so I took him. Now we're boot buddies.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Boot buddies, that sounds such fun.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- You're both students?- Yes.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29And what are you studying, Lydia?
0:03:29 > 0:03:35I did my degree in fashion and I'm now studying at Derby University to do my teaching qualification.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Brilliant. So, we're on your campus?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- Yeah.- This is familiar territory.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43- It's home!- That's funny for you! So, you're passionate about fashion.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46You want to start your own fashion business?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Yeah. It's going to be an internet business. It's going to basically be vintage clothes
0:03:50 > 0:03:53that are customised and altered to fit the modern figure.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58I think that's rather a cunning plan, girl. So, where are you working at the moment?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I'm working at a hat shop and I've got a little present for you.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Great! What's in your box?
0:04:03 > 0:04:08- It is...- I don't believe this! Look! - A rollable Panama hat. I'll put this on the floor.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10You knew this was going to be my favourite!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Oh, I knew. We've seen you in your hat.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Lydia, tell me about these, because they're very special.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19It's a Fair Trade rollable Panama and it's a leno weave
0:04:19 > 0:04:22and this one is a more circular weave, so it's more durable.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26So, you've brought me something really fab, which I shall wear a lot, yes.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Now, Marley, what are you studying, mate?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I'm studying cultural studies and music here at Derby Uni, as well.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35What do you intend doing when you finish?
0:04:35 > 0:04:40I think I'm going to go on to do a PGCE and do primary school music teaching.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43It was an epiphany, like yours, that I wanted to do that.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Now, you've got quite an unusual name, Marley, so just talk us through all your names.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Well, my first name is Marley, and that's named after
0:04:51 > 0:04:53the late Bob Marley, and my middle name is Starsky.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58So, is Starsky related to what was on the television at about the time that you were born?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Yes, it was.- Starsky and Hutch.
0:05:00 > 0:05:07Anyway, we've got most interesting teams today, but here comes the money moment. £300 apiece.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- Thank you.- You know the rules, your experts await and off you go and very good luck.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15So, our teams today may be well and truly learned, but I fancy they're
0:05:15 > 0:05:19still going to need a helping hand from their experts.
0:05:19 > 0:05:25For the Reds, Kate Bliss. She's well versed in the Victorian era.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27And for the Blues, David Harper,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30who's an expert when it comes to glassware.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37Talking of which, it's time to turn the hourglass and get the shopping underway.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Well, there's loads to look at.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Is there anything you're looking out for?
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Nothing at all. Absolutely...
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- We are a completely blank canvas, - Please guide us.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- You're looking a bit frightened, like rabbits in the headlights.- Yes!
0:05:50 > 0:05:51I'm sure it'll be fun.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- But we still don't know what we're doing.- Let's get started.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Let's go and have a look down there.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01The Reds may be feeling nervous, but are the Blues feeling the same?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- My gosh, this is like home from home for you two, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Yeah, I only live two seconds away.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- We walked in and it was no time at all.- And you're raring to go?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Yeah.- You've got your stopwatch?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- I have.- OK, let's go.- Ready.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Hang on, I've spotted something.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- What's that?- It's, like, proper old opera glasses.- Opera glasses!
0:06:24 > 0:06:27You see quite a lot of opera glasses
0:06:27 > 0:06:30and these are particularly nice because of this handle.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Is that ivory? - I think it's mother-of-pearl. - It is mother-of-pearl, Andrew.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38The nice thing about these is, look, we've got a name around here.
0:06:38 > 0:06:44Chevalier is the name, so that is rather nice having the name around there.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45And you've got this lovely handle.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47If you just look at this...
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- That looks like rope.- Yes, it does.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52There's string on there and then this gilt metal has been tooled
0:06:52 > 0:06:56and engraved and mother-of-pearl on the handle as well.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Does it work? - Have a look, have a look.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Oh, yes. That's brilliant.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- May I?- There you go.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- It's really good, actually. I like this.- I think those are fun. Now, the price here is 55,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16which I don't think is too bad.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20At auction these could make anything from £20 to £40, £50.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Worst scenario... - 55 is over the odds?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25It is. What do you think about buying these?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27We've got to get them to a good price...
0:07:27 > 0:07:31We have. Why don't I go and have a chat with the stallholder?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Have a look and see if there's anything else you fancy. - No problem.- OK.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38So, the Reds seem to have shaken their nerves already.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Now, Lydia seems to know more than she's letting on about this antiques lark.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Is that majolica over there?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Oh, I say! You know, you know much more than you pretend.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Marley, are you worried here?- I am.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51She was saying she doesn't know about antiques,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53but where does majolica come from, then?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Oh, I don't know. I just recognised it because it's sort of the lobster
0:07:57 > 0:07:59on the plate, cos of these little bits.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02It is majolica and a good maker would be Minton.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- There's no make on there, so it could be continental.- OK.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11- But 295? She'd have to reduce it by about 195 to make us want to buy it, wouldn't she?- Yeah.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13But well spotted, though.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16OK, we could come back to that maybe at the end.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20David seems quite impressed by Lydia's keen eye.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23What about those opera glasses the Reds spotted?
0:08:24 > 0:08:25- Hey, guys, guess what?- What?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27He's been very, very kind.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32There is a slight dent on the back - do you see that? - which I noticed and I've pointed out to her.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Right.- And for that reason she's come down to 35.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Brill.- What do you think?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39In your hands.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41You're not sure are you, Hillary?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- I'm not certain, but if you go with them...- I wouldn't use them.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49No, I wouldn't use them and it's being practical is something that uses and that we make a profit.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- I'd quite like them, to be honest, and then you can have free reign over the other one.- OK.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56You really pounced on them, didn't you?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Yeah, it's shiny! Drawn to shiny objects.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I think they're quite fun and for 35, I don't think that's too bad.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- I think, yes.- Yeah?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- OK.- To the opera!
0:09:08 > 0:09:12So, six minutes in and the Reds have bought the first thing they've seen.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Some might call that a risky move.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16And the Blues have spotted something.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- I thought that was chess there, but obviously not.- That dog?
0:09:20 > 0:09:21You like the doggie?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Sometimes things just shout out at you.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- I can't say... - He's got a nice expression.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- He has got a nice expression. - A dog lover might like it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Exactly. - Oh, I really like him, actually.
0:09:31 > 0:09:37Well, I do like him. It's Delft, so Delft is a Dutch brand of pottery and Delft began manufacturing
0:09:37 > 0:09:41in the 15th or 16th century and they were trying to emulate the Chinese
0:09:41 > 0:09:45porcelain which was absolutely fine and beautiful and this was
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- about the best we could ever get, which was basically pottery... - With a cheap glaze.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Yeah, really thick, chunky and really brittle.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- You can see the damage on his paws there.- Yeah.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56We think he's a wine jug?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58OWNER: That was the description, yes.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Well, I think I would actually try him with wine, if I owned him.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- He's very nice. - Because of his expression
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- someone will fall in love with him. - I think you're right...
0:10:06 > 0:10:11It's the kind of thing two people might really fall in love with and you'll get one of them.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- That's true.- Price-wise, what's the absolute best?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Well, I was looking for around 100,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- but I'm open to offers.- 85?
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Yes, that's fine.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Thanks very much. Are you happy, Marley?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26I'm happy with that. I love how it's drawn on.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29It's really childlike, not too professional looking.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Well, I'm happy, too!
0:10:31 > 0:10:34He's not smiling, but we'll take it!
0:10:34 > 0:10:36At least the Blues are smiling.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40So, that's one-all. These teams don't hang about!
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Here's the jewellery box that I was telling you about.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Lovely red leather and with this handle on the top.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51Open it up and it's got that nice interior.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56Oh, you can see the scissors and the mark of the needle and other sewing implements stored in there.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59That's what originally would have been there. You've got the little tray
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- and then the fittings for jewellery.- Oh, yes.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06And you've got little trays for your trinkets, your necklaces.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08So, when would that date from?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Well, I would say Edwardian. Do you like that?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I asked my Brownies what I should get and they said go for
0:11:14 > 0:11:20a jewellery box and stuff to keep your jewellery in, so that would fit that, but it doesn't quite...
0:11:20 > 0:11:24It wouldn't be my personal taste. Would it make a profit?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Well, that's marked at £52. - That's a lot of money.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29A bit dear for something in that condition.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Let's ask the stallholder and see what they think.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- OK.- Excuse me, madam. Hi, your jewellery box, what can you do on the price for us?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38You've got it marked at 52.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I could do it for 32, if that's a help.
0:11:40 > 0:11:4232.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- That is better.- It is better. Perhaps come back to it?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49There's always the chance that somebody else might buy it.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51We like it, don't take it personally. It's nice.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I will knock the two pounds off and come down to 30.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57I'm teetering on a no at the moment.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- I'm teetering on a yes.- Oh, no!
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Should we do Rock, Paper, Scissors?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Go on, then.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05One, two, three!
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- I've never seen this done. - One, two, three!- Oh, no!- We have it.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12OK, let's have it, please.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- £30?- £30.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- I think we go up there next, what do you think?- OK.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- Let's do it. - Now, we've only had 15 minutes, guys, we've got two items!
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- We're doing really well.- Come on!
0:12:22 > 0:12:24The Reds certainly know how to make a decision
0:12:24 > 0:12:28and over with the Blues something's grabbed Lydia's attention.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33- Is that a water filter? My dad's got a...- A spirit barrel.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- Oh, a spirit barrel. - It looks like Doulton.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It's that kind of salt glaze brown work. Let's have a look.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Look on the bottom.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42It's not stamped Doulton, but it's got that look.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45It's strange that this... Would that have had anything written on it?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48It's a copy of a crest, isn't it? Do you read Latin, Marley?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- No, unfortunately.- No?
0:12:50 > 0:12:54So, as spirit barrel, so that would be where your tap would come out.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55What spirit would you put in?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57A cheap one.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01You go for quantity, I think, not quality.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Too expensive.- Yeah. - It's probably 1880.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Do you fancy it?- Do you, Marley?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10I think because it's salt glaze it's quite interesting, but it's not...
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Sometimes you get the nice little tigery-looking bits in salt glaze, don't you?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- But it looks quite... - Do you really? - Do you know what I mean?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19I don't, but you're teaching me!
0:13:19 > 0:13:21You know too much, you do.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25My dad likes salt glazed things and sometimes you get sort of a drippy looking...
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Ah, right! I know what you mean.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29That is almost like slip ware.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Right.- You know, when the colours run you get that iridescence in it.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- Yeah, yeah. And a sort of...- Yeah.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39Maybe if it had some writing on, because it's blank it kind of takes away from its personality.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42That would give it more interest and value, so well spotted.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- Shall we leave it?- Yeah.- All right.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47We can just put Derby on it and hope nobody notices.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Derby Bargain Hunt 2009. - Chisel it in!
0:13:51 > 0:13:53The Reds are going local and looking at plates.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- That's quite a nice plate. - Heart-shaped.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Do you like that?- Vaguely. - What does it say?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- It's just Derby. It's before Royal Crown Derby. - So that's quite old, then?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04It's got the iron red mark on the back.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07You're smiling and thinking, "I really don't like this."
0:14:07 > 0:14:12I wouldn't give it house room, sorry. No!
0:14:12 > 0:14:14What about you, Andrew? Do you like it?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16It doesn't jump out at me.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Sorry.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Let's move on, shall we(?)
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Onward for the Reds. The Blues, however, have changed their minds
0:14:24 > 0:14:26and are on their way to buying the barrel.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Is that a problem for you, 50 quid?
0:14:28 > 0:14:33I'll check with my business partner. Yes, we'll burn on that.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Well, I think they'll be happy with that, you two?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- Marley, are you sure?- Yeah.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I think it's a go for you. 50 quid?
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- I think we might do all right and if we don't it's an interesting item, as well.- It is.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Thanks very much. - It's an absolute pleasure.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51They're just knocking out the deals today, so just over 20 minutes down and that's two buys each.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55This was just on the stall here and I've just spotted it and whisked it away.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Now, guess what that is? - Is it a plant pot?
0:14:58 > 0:15:03It could be a Roman oil dish of some sort, I don't know.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Some sort of reservoir. - I'll tell you exactly what it is.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Go on, then.- It's a dog bowl.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- A dog bowl! - That would be why I wouldn't know.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Are you dog lovers?- No. - I'm allergic to them.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20Well, because these were used quite a lot, late 19th century, these were often broken.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Right.- Let me tell you a bit about it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24No factory marks on the bottom whatsoever.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- No.- But it is stoneware.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- Yes.- It's salt glazed and it's got this lovely raised frieze,
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- can you see, all the way round? - It seems a little bit cracked along the edge.
0:15:35 > 0:15:41There's a little crack there in the mouldings, not in the bowl itself and that was done in the manufacturers -
0:15:41 > 0:15:44what we call a firing crack. You wouldn't class it as damage, as such.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Right.- And it looks typically like the stoneware produced
0:15:47 > 0:15:50by Royal Doulton, you've heard of Doulton in Staffordshire?
0:15:50 > 0:15:55- Yes.- But there was a little factory not far from here in Chesterfield
0:15:55 > 0:16:00called Brampton and I think this is possibly a Brampton stoneware piece.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- That's really interesting. - It is.- And practical.- Exactly!
0:16:03 > 0:16:09- I'm thinking of you with your practicalities and it's definitely made to be used.- Yes.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- How much?- I've managed to negotiate 75 for you guys.- 75.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15You're quite excited about it.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17I am, I am.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I'm excited if she's excited.
0:16:20 > 0:16:26- So, I'm excited if you're excited that she's excited and I'm excited. - Are we going too fast, though?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29It's our third item and we're only about half an hour in.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- Yeah.- Let's do it.- OK.- Let's do it.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Right.- Are you sure, now?- Yes.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35We'll shake on it.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37OK.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41So, all three items picked in only half an hour.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42That must be a record!
0:16:42 > 0:16:47But will they have wished that they had shopped around when it comes to the auction?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Over with the Blues, there's no stopping that Lydia.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52What is it then, Lydia, that you like about that?
0:16:52 > 0:16:56I liked the little bird on it and I liked the colours. I think it's quite nice.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01- Well, really, that is the only reason to buy anything because you buy it because you like it.- Yeah.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06It's probably Tibetan and it's something that might hold oil or perfume or snuff.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Now, why do you think it's got chains on it?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10To have it around your neck?
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Well, you could do. You could do but, of course, the Tibetans wear robes,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17traditionally, without pockets, similar to the Japanese, and so
0:17:17 > 0:17:23they would have the robe tied and anything like snuff or purses would have to be connected to a belt.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28So, it would simply hang on their body and jingle jangle around and whenever you fancied a bit of
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- snuff or improving your aroma with a bit of perfume you would take a little and off you go again.- Brill!
0:17:33 > 0:17:37It's probably bone on the background there and then inlaid with some metal.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- How old do you think it is? - Probably early 20th century.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42It might be knocking on 100 years old.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Do you think it would do well at auction?
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Well, I don't think so, because, again, we're going to a general sale,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51so it might be lost on people. Unless you really want to go for it.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54I do like it. I could see you wearing that, Marley.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55I'd wear it around my neck.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Or in your hair!
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I find it really interesting.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02I like the carvings and the different colours.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Well, I mean, it's not expensive, is it? 49 quid.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08How much do you reckon it's worth maybe at auction?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Well, this is the exciting thing, about auction.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Who on earth knows? So, what do you reckon?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- It does look really interesting.- How much do you reckon you'd pay for it?
0:18:16 > 0:18:17About 35.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- That would be OK, wouldn't it? Try a bit more. I'd try 30 and see what they say.- OK.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24OK. Go on, we'll leave it to you.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Off you go.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- Hiya, could we get this for 30? - Would you be happy at that?
0:18:30 > 0:18:31I'd be happy at 30, definitely.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33It's a nice little object.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Here he comes.- Now, how much then?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- What did you get it for? - I got it for 35.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- And you're happy?- Yeah, I'm happy.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Lydia, are you happy?- Very happy.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I'm happy because you've bought your items. Cup of tea time.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45- Waay!- Let's go.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50With some great negotiating skills from Marley,
0:18:50 > 0:18:55the Blues have got their final item and all in a record 45 minutes.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Let's hope they haven't been too hasty.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Our teams have been out there making some difficult decisions
0:19:00 > 0:19:04during the shopping, but it doesn't finish right now.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Any leftover lolly will be given to their expert
0:19:07 > 0:19:14to go and find a mystery bonus buy that will be revealed to the teams at the auction.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17If they take the bonus buy and it makes a profit they get to keep it.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20If it makes a loss, well, it's not so happy.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Anyway, let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Andrew didn't want to go solo
0:19:26 > 0:19:30and convince the others to buy the French opera glasses.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35It may have taken Paper, Scissor, Stone to decide, but they plumped
0:19:35 > 0:19:38for the Edwardian red leather box for £30.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40And Kate convinced them that they would be
0:19:40 > 0:19:43in the money with the 19th century stoneware dog bowl.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49Well, that was quite a zany shopping choosing method, wasn't it?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Different.- Scissors, Paper, Stone.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- If you don't know what on earth you're doing, why not play games? - Quite right.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58But tell me, Hillary, which is your favourite piece?
0:19:58 > 0:20:04With hindsight, I might not personally have chosen any of them, but actually...
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Charming that is, isn't it?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09I'll go with the jewellery box for the Brownies, yes.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- Andrew, which is your favourite piece?- My opera glasses. I'm very proud of them.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit in your prediction as a chartered accountant?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- I sincerely hope the dog dish as that's what the expert recommended. - All right.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- We'll keep an eye...- No pressure! - ..on the balance sheet.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- And what about you, Andrew? - I'm sticking with my opera glasses.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30I think they'll be fantastic.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Well, you spent an average £140, all right?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I'd like £160 of leftover lolly.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- There you go, Mum, check it out. - OK, Andrew gives it to his mother who probably counts it.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Thank you very much.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- £160 going across to KB. - Thank you very much.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47You've had a testing time with these professionals!
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- I really did.- I know!
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Andrew, I sense, is a bit more of a gambler, but Hillary is very -
0:20:53 > 0:20:59how shall we say? - more discerning and she insisted on something practical, so I have my instructions.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04- Quite right, too.- And we trust you. - We do.- Well, good luck with that. - Thank you.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09Let's remind ourselves what the Reds are up against by reminding ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15The Blues were barking mad about the blue dog Delft wine holder at £85.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19They still fancied a tipple
0:21:19 > 0:21:21and bought the 1880s stoneware liquor barrel.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25And Lydia thought it would look good in Marley's hair -
0:21:25 > 0:21:27the Tibetan snuff or perfume bottle.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Lydia, your knowledge certainly pulled off that.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- Well, hopefully, yeah.- Yes. Now, which is your favourite piece?
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Oh, I like the Delft dog.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- It was a wine container. - What about you, Marley?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- I've got high hopes for the Tibetan snuff box.- Have you? Why?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45It's just really interesting looking and I'm pretty sure
0:21:45 > 0:21:49that it's going to get a lot. Everyone thinks it's not, but...
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- So, it's your favourite and is it your prediction for the most profit, too?- Yes.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Is it? A double whammy on that, which is great.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57What about you, Lydia?
0:21:57 > 0:22:01The dog. We're quite opposite. I've got low hopes for the snuff box.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03What, you don't like the snuff box?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- No.- No. Oh, well, we shall find out.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08What fun! You spent 170, which is good.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I'd like 130 of leftover lolly, thank you, for David Harper.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Thank you, Tim. - That's quite a lot.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- 130 for a bonus buy. - I've got a few things in mind, but I'm going to keep the suspense.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20In other words, I haven't got a clue of what it's going to be!
0:22:20 > 0:22:25- Well, that's extraordinarily honest. - Thank you.- And very good luck. For me, I'm heading off
0:22:25 > 0:22:28somewhere absolutely spectacular and it's called Hatfield House.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33We're leaving our modern venue
0:22:33 > 0:22:37and heading south to look at an historic collection.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41I've come about 20 miles from London to a house that's positioned with
0:22:41 > 0:22:45easy access for royal and political activities.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48And it's called Hatfield House.
0:22:48 > 0:22:55It's the Tudor monarchy that Hatfield is most associated with, in particular, Elizabeth I.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58She lived in the old palace, of which only a quarter remains.
0:22:58 > 0:23:05In 1607, the first Earl of Salisbury started to build Hatfield House
0:23:05 > 0:23:08and it's remained in the family ever since.
0:23:09 > 0:23:16After 13 generations living at Hatfield House, there are really large collections still in situ.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20And what do you do if you've got a family collection of 10,000 books?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23You built a socking great library!
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Which is exactly what the Cecils did here.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30All the usual suspects can be found on these shelves -
0:23:30 > 0:23:35religious tracts, political speeches, poetry.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39But originally this space was simply a reception room,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42but in the 18th century they converted it into a library
0:23:42 > 0:23:46by installing all the lower ranks of shelves,
0:23:46 > 0:23:51but by the 1870s they were crammed full, so they trotted off to France,
0:23:51 > 0:23:56bought these brilliant cast bronze balustrades to make up this balcony
0:23:56 > 0:24:02and then they filled the upper part with shelves, which are now full of books.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Do you want to have a look at the view from up here?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Great, isn't it?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09And if you were enjoying your time in this library,
0:24:09 > 0:24:13the peace and quiet, well, you might just snuggle down.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Cor. And what could be more comfy than this?
0:24:20 > 0:24:27Why is this suite of leather-covered library furniture quite so fab to sit in?
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Well, it's been built in a proportion for men, primarily.
0:24:31 > 0:24:37You've got long seats and comfortable arms that keep your elbows up.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Men, when they get to a certain age, tend to spread a little, therefore
0:24:41 > 0:24:45they need a more generous seat to plant themselves on.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49There is one question I have to ask you, is your settee at home
0:24:49 > 0:24:54going to look quite as good as this settee after 220 years?
0:24:54 > 0:24:59I think probably not, because most of this suite of furniture
0:24:59 > 0:25:03were made by a firm called Beckwith and France,
0:25:03 > 0:25:09cabinet makers and upholsterers late in the 18th century, and if you look at the frame
0:25:09 > 0:25:14you can see that the reeding here in oak is reflected
0:25:14 > 0:25:17in the reeding on the legs and on these lovely
0:25:17 > 0:25:23brass Georgian castors, centred by a rolled section of leather,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25so typical of that Georgian construction.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Beckwith and France were extremely successful in their trade but,
0:25:30 > 0:25:34by and large, they were upholsterers as well as makers,
0:25:34 > 0:25:39and if you look at a leather pad like this, you can see
0:25:39 > 0:25:45quite how it came about because inside this pad it's stuffed with horsehair
0:25:45 > 0:25:51and then it's buttoned by inserting a button into a pocket with the cord between it,
0:25:51 > 0:25:59pulling it slightly taught, that gives it this lovely crinkled and overall comfort effect.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04All these pieces have been relatively recently reupholstered, within the last 20 years,
0:26:04 > 0:26:10and apparently it took no less than 189 skins
0:26:10 > 0:26:14from the imported Nigerian goats to cover the suite.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19Goatskin because it's more pliant and it takes on this gorgeous colour more easily.
0:26:19 > 0:26:26The big question is today, how sweet are things going to be for our teams over at the auction?
0:26:39 > 0:26:44- Well, it's great to be at Banford's Auction House in Derby with James Lewis.- Welcome.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49Very kind. Now, our teams today, Hillary and Andrew, their first item are the opera glasses.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Yeah, slightly concerned about that.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- A bit of cord wrapped around the handle.- This area?
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- Yeah.- Yeah, they'd not have string on a luxury product like that in 1900, would they?
0:26:58 > 0:27:02I reckon there's been a little section of mother-of-pearl that's
0:27:02 > 0:27:06been broken and they've applied that cord to make it tie in with the bag.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- But they're quite collectable. - They are, yes.
0:27:08 > 0:27:14What do you think it's worth in that state, then, with its rough bag and later-strung handle?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Yeah, I don't know. Around £40 to £60, you think?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- Do you reckon?- Yeah.- £35 they paid.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- Oh, that's good.- Not too bad.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21What about this jewellery box?
0:27:21 > 0:27:26- I like that. I like the leather ones with that sort of very slightly-worn gilt.- Yes.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27So, it's got a good look to it.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Yeah, I like that. - OK, how much?- £25 to £35.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- They paid £30. - Oh, looking... Yeah.- Yes.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35- Good so far.- Not too bad.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- Good. And now the dog bowl. - Yeah, I saw that coming.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- You saw that coming.- It's not a dog bowl.- It's not a dog bowl?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46No, it's made in Denby, so only about ten or 15 miles up the road.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51We sold this about eight weeks ago and we thought about what could it be. Could it be a dog bowl?
0:27:51 > 0:27:57So, we took it up to Denby, we showed it to the curator of the museum and it could be one of two things.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01It is the base of either a large smoking stand or a water filter.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06So, it would have a domed base, then a cylindrical section here for tobacco, another section on top
0:28:06 > 0:28:11for cigarettes, or the water filter would just be a cylindrical section on the top with a cover.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14So, that would make this worth £75, would it?
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Sort of. These smoker's stands or water coolers make around £60
0:28:18 > 0:28:22- to £80 complete, so the base of one is worth a fiver.- Oh, dear.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Kate Bliss is going to be less than blissful about this, I can tell you.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- Sorry, Kate.- So, about a fiver, then? - I do.- That's a disaster.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33They're going to need their bonus buy. Let's have a look at it.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Now, Andrew and Hillary, you spent £140,
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- gave Kate £160.- We did. - What did she spend it on?
0:28:40 > 0:28:44Well, I spent it on a little piece of Derby.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- Now, I know you like functional things, Hillary.- That's right.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51This is what's known as a little tea bowl and saucer
0:28:51 > 0:28:56and it would have been for drinking tea in the 18th century.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- Is that why it doesn't have a handle?- That's right.
0:28:59 > 0:29:04That's exactly how they were made, after the Chinese design in the 18th century. Have a look.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- You have the tea bowl.- They hold it like that?- Exactly that.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- That's beautiful.- It's aged. It's not aged too badly.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16This is a particularly nice example because of the condition, because of the decoration.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- So, roughly what might go for, do you think?- Well, I paid £65,
0:29:19 > 0:29:24which I think in the current auction market is probably about right.
0:29:24 > 0:29:32It might make £70 or even £80 with a wind behind it at auction, but I think it is a fair market price.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34You've just got to hope a Derby collector is here,
0:29:34 > 0:29:38- but if you're going to sell Derby, this is the place to do it.- Exactly.
0:29:38 > 0:29:44Team, you don't decide right now, you decide later. And with Kate's strategic thought in mind here,
0:29:44 > 0:29:50for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the tea bowl and saucer.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- You wouldn't get much tea in that, would you?- No.
0:29:53 > 0:29:58- Isn't it lovely?- Lovely pattern- Yes. 18th century Derby with that wonderful puce mark underneath.
0:29:58 > 0:30:05- I like that a lot.- Well, we like the fact that you like it a lot, but how much a lot do you like it?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- £50 to £70.- £65 Kate paid, so she might be in the money.
0:30:08 > 0:30:13- Yes, she might.- But not for a huge profit in your view.- No.- No. OK, fine.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18Well, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues. First up is this tin-glaze doggie.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23- Isn't he great?- I like the revolving head. I think that's fantastic fun. Where do you think it comes from?
0:30:23 > 0:30:29- I thought it might be French. - French or Dutch, isn't it?- Yeah. - I would imagine about 1900,
0:30:29 > 0:30:31- Yeah.- How much do you think?
0:30:31 > 0:30:36- I should think an auction estimate should be £50 to £80. - £85 paid.- Oh, OK.- £85.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38I might be being a bit mean.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- Well, of course there are a lot of dog lovers about.- Yeah.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43The stoneware liquor barrel.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47This is very much a Nottinghamshire/ Derbyshire pottery look, isn't it?
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- This hard, bright, brown, shiny ware.- Yeah.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55We sell loads of them and they tend to make around £25, £35, when they're chipped.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Well, that's the point, isn't it?
0:30:57 > 0:31:01It's chipped. They paid £50, so that's going to be tough, isn't it?
0:31:01 > 0:31:07- Yeah, it is.- Now, to finish their trio we've got something that you're going to get really excited about.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11- Yes.- I know how much you love modern Tibetan snuff boxes.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13I hate it. It's awful.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18- It's just the most nasty thing. - There you are, I told you he'd like it!
0:31:18 > 0:31:21But the truth of the matter is, it's worth what, two or three pounds?
0:31:21 > 0:31:26- Five pounds?- It's awful. - That type of amount.- Yes.- OK. We've got the message.
0:31:26 > 0:31:31- OK.- Well, I won't tell you that Lydia paid £35 for it.- Good, good. - Because it will spoil your day.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34They'll need their bonus buy so let's go have a look at it.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39- So, Lydia and Marley, how are you feeling, all right?- Good, yeah. - You're feeling good.- Confident.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43- Yeah.- Well, if you cast your mind back, you spent £170, yes?- Yeah.
0:31:43 > 0:31:48You gave David up £135. Has he blown the lot? That's what we want to know.
0:31:48 > 0:31:55- You've got to guess if I have. A solid silver Chester 1913 letter opener.- Oh!
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Quite plain, but I think quite sophisticated.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04- I like the little penguin. - That's why I bought it.- Yeah.- It's wacky, isn't it?- It is pretty wacky.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09- A guy in 1913 would put a picture of his lovely wife in there.- Or a dog.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Or a dog, his child, but this guy loved penguins.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16- Now, that fascinates me, Tim! - Wonky penguins, as well. - Wonky penguins!- Yes.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20- "Dawson and Gill" it says on the back.- That would be the retailer.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Oh, right. It was made by Gray & Co, I believe.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27But because it was hallmarked in Chester, that makes it slightly rarer, too.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29What do you think, Marley?
0:32:29 > 0:32:33- Is it something that lights your touchpaper?- Not that much of a fan of it, to be honest.
0:32:33 > 0:32:39- What, of penguins or the thing? - Everything. It seems really plain. It doesn't seem that special to me.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- How much did you spend on it? - 50 quid.- How much?- £50.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- 50 quid, fine.- There you go. - We'll have a think.- Do.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I've heard that before!
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- That means I'll never see you again! - Well, you can p-pick up a p-penguin or not later.
0:32:52 > 0:32:58For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's little penguin.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- Well, there's a lovely novelty, look.- Super.- Isn't that nice?- Really nice, isn't it?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05I guess you could use it as a letter opener or a bookmark
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- with that little bit at the top. - Yeah. I'm not sure about this wacky penguin?- No.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14- It would be better with a lovely watercolour miniature of a dog or something like that.- Yes.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17What do you think it's worth?
0:33:17 > 0:33:19- £40 to £60. - Brilliant. David paid £50.- Oh, fine.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22So, for a bonus buy, that's quite safe.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27- Yes, yes.- Like everything else at auction, we live in hopes, don't we? - We do.- We do.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Seven, eight, nine.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Here we are on the edge of the auctioneering.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Andrew, how are you feeling? Nervous?
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- Excited.- Are you?- Oh, yes.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45That's good. Now, do you regret anything that you bought, Hillary?
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- Yes, I do. Yes.- What?
0:33:48 > 0:33:53- In particular, the dog bowl. - Which turns out apparently not to be a dog bowl,
0:33:53 > 0:33:56though it looks just like a dog bowl, it feels just like a dog bowl,
0:33:56 > 0:34:02it tastes just like a dog bowl, but in fact it's a bit of something else made of that material.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04- Right.- But there we are.
0:34:04 > 0:34:10These things happen. Instead of being worth £75 as a dog bowl it might be worth £5 to £10.
0:34:10 > 0:34:16So, I have an apology to make to you two because I'm the one that told you it was a dog bowl.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21- It isn't a dog bowl, or it's found not to be a dog bowl, so I'm afraid...- That's all right.
0:34:21 > 0:34:26- We should have stood up to you and said no.- It's much fault ours as it is yours.- Indeed it is.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30It looks just like a dog bowl. I can be more optimistic I'm glad to say, Andrew,
0:34:30 > 0:34:35- about your opera glasses. - Oh, lovely.- Which you paid £35 for. The auctioneer thinks they're good.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39£40 to £60 is his estimate on that, so that's a nice result and here they come.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43The French gilt mental and mother-of-pearl opera glasses
0:34:43 > 0:34:47and I can start the bidding here at £35. 35 and 40.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- 40 with the lady.- Yes!
0:34:49 > 0:34:5145. 50. And five. 55 now?
0:34:51 > 0:34:55At £50 to the right. 55, do I see?
0:34:55 > 0:35:00At 50. And selling at £50. 55 do I see?
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Good!- Whoa!- £50 plus 15.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Are you after my job or something?
0:35:04 > 0:35:08- Well, I'm glad you spied that. - Well done.- Now the jewellery box.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Late Victorian Edwardian red Morocco leather box and cover.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14It's got a good country house look to it.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17£20, do I see? At 20. And five now.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20At £20 and five with me. 30.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Five. 40. It's against you.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- At 35 and 40 do I see? - You're in profit.
0:35:25 > 0:35:2835. Absentee bid and selling at 35.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32That's five pounds, which is brilliant.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Kicked the bucket, which is plus 20.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37You are £20 up. Now, the dog bowl.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Well, it is whatever you want it to be
0:35:40 > 0:35:43with this dog bowl/water filter base/smoking stand base.
0:35:43 > 0:35:48It's a bit of local salt glaze anyway and I can start the bidding
0:35:48 > 0:35:50at £20 somewhere. 20? Anybody want it at 10?
0:35:50 > 0:35:54£10? Anybody want it?
0:35:54 > 0:35:56- Me?- It cost a lot of money.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Get them out of a hole. £10, please?
0:35:59 > 0:36:03Five. Five pounds. I thought we were going to have a Bargain Hunt first.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05At five. No bids at all. Five.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. 10. 12.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12At £10. At 10. And 12 do I see?
0:36:12 > 0:36:13Anybody else?
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Minus £65.- Are we?
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- So, very quickly you are overall minus £45.- Correct.
0:36:19 > 0:36:27OK, minus 45. The accountant looking over my shoulder is able to do the profit and loss just like that.
0:36:27 > 0:36:32So, you are minus £45. Minus £45. What are we going to do about the tea bowl?
0:36:32 > 0:36:37Now, minus £45 is a dirty shame, but it could be a winning score.
0:36:37 > 0:36:43- You don't have to go with the tea bowl. What are you going to do?- I think we should.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- I like it.- I do too. Yes. - We all like it.- Yes, please. - We are in Derby.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50Don't look at me, I'm going to dive into that black hole.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- You can redeem yourself. - We trust you!
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Yes.- We're going with the bonus buy and here it comes.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58The Derby spirally-fluted tea bowl and saucer.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02A really pretty lot this one, circa 1775, and I've got three bids on it
0:37:02 > 0:37:07and they're all almost identical and £60 is bid.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- Wow!- And five do I see?
0:37:09 > 0:37:12At £60. 65. 70. And five.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- 75 by the door. And 80.- That's good.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- Well done.- At £75 to the right.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18And 80 anywhere? At 75.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22All done at £75? At 75.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26Well done, Kate. £75, that's not bad, it's another £10 profit
0:37:26 > 0:37:31- which is brilliant, which means overall you are minus £35.- Yes!- Not too bad.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33- That is not too bad, all right?- Yes.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37So, don't tell the Blues a sausage.
0:37:37 > 0:37:38OK. OK.
0:37:40 > 0:37:41160. 170.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- Now, Lydia and Marley, have you been talking to the Reds?- No, we haven't.
0:37:49 > 0:37:54- They're keeping their mouths tightly closed. - Well and truly zipped.- Yeah.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59That's the right way - it keeps the competition fair if you don't know how they've got on.
0:37:59 > 0:38:04You won't know whether to go to your bonus buy or any of these vital decisions that are ahead of you.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07It's a long time to wait. Are you feeling nervous?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- A bit nervous, but quietly confident.- What about you, Lydia?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Yeah, we'll have to see.
0:38:13 > 0:38:18The first item, David, is that nice tin-glazed dog vessel with the revolving head,
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- which I have to say I think is a handsome fellow, isn't he?- Yeah.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23And you paid £85 for it, which is a good price.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26He has put £50 to £80 on it.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Wow, right. - Which I think is a bit scruffy. And it's coming up now.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32We have three commission bids on this lot.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35This is the Delft tin-glaze pottery jar and cover
0:38:35 > 0:38:37of the little dog sitting there begging.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Begging to be bought.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44And where shall we start it? Well, I've got one bid of £80 to start.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- Come on, James. - 85 now.- Go for it.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- £85 now. At five do I see?- Come on.
0:38:48 > 0:38:53- That's £80 and five anywhere? 85. 90. 95.- Go on!
0:38:53 > 0:38:58No. At £90. With me at 90. It's against you at the back of the room.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01At £90 are we all sure?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03- A profit is a profit.- It's true.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06A profit's a profit. You are five pounds up on that.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10I told you it was a good one. Now, your stoneware barrel.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14Treacle-glazed stoneware liquor barrel and £20 starts it.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18- 20 and two now. At £20 and two do I see?- Come on.
0:39:18 > 0:39:23At £20 and two is it? 22, front row. 25 and 28 for you. 28 has it.
0:39:23 > 0:39:29- Front row at £28. Anybody else?- Man! - At £28.- No!
0:39:29 > 0:39:35That's 28. You're two shy of 30, which means you're minus 22.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- We've saved the best for last! - This will bring it all back. - It's minus 22.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- Oh, yeah, the Tibetan thing!- Which means you're minus £17 overall.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- OK, lot 677.- OK, here comes Tibetan.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Is this Eastern white metal perfume bottle or snuff.
0:39:48 > 0:39:54Where shall we start this? £25 for it? 20, then?
0:39:54 > 0:39:55- Anybody want it at ten?- Uh-oh.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00- What?- Five. Five pounds bid. By the door at five. And eight do I see?
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Eight. 10. At £10 by the door. At 10 and 12 do I see?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- It's not looking good.- That's awful.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Are we all done at 10? Oh, dear.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13£10 is minus £25.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18So, that's 17, 37, 42.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22Minus £42, OK? Minus £42.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Let's hope the Reds didn't do so well!
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Now, listen, minus £42 could be a winning score, all right?
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- You have to think carefully now what to do here. - Oh, yeah, because we've got the...
0:40:32 > 0:40:36You're not going to go home with a lump of profit. £42 down the drain.
0:40:36 > 0:40:43It could be a winning score or you can chance it, risk it for a biscuit, pick up a penguin
0:40:43 > 0:40:46and, you know, run on with it. What do you think?
0:40:46 > 0:40:50- Me might as well. - Do it, yeah.- Go with the penguin. - Going to go with the penguin?
0:40:50 > 0:40:54- Yeah.- OK? Certain?- Yeah. - We're going with the bonus buy and here it comes.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58The George V silver letter opener with a little penguin at the end
0:40:58 > 0:41:00and it's hallmarked for Chester 1913
0:41:00 > 0:41:06and I can start the bidding here at £30 and five anywhere? 35. 40.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10- Do you like it?- I love it.- 50.- Yes! - Do you want 55?
0:41:10 > 0:41:12- At £50. 55 now? 55.- Yes!
0:41:12 > 0:41:1660. At £60. Still with me at 60.
0:41:16 > 0:41:1865 anywhere?
0:41:18 > 0:41:19Come on, James.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Go on, James!
0:41:21 > 0:41:29- At 60. It's not me, it's that one! Go on, one more. No.- Aw!
0:41:29 > 0:41:32It's a good lot this one. And selling at £60.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36£60 is a £10 profit. Good boy.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38- That's knocked a bit off... - Yeah, our losses!
0:41:38 > 0:41:44Minus £32. You're minus £32. It could be a winning score. You made a right decision there.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Your man delivered the goods and what more could you ask?
0:41:47 > 0:41:50This could be a winning score, so don't chat to the Reds, all right?
0:41:50 > 0:41:52- Yeah.- Lips sealed up.
0:41:54 > 0:41:5560.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Well, how exciting is this?
0:42:01 > 0:42:05This is a competition that is almost too close to call.
0:42:05 > 0:42:10- No!- There's three pounds between the teams.- No!
0:42:10 > 0:42:15They haven't been talking to each other and they don't know where they're up to, do you?
0:42:15 > 0:42:19- No.- No. - There's three pounds between them. Each team went with the bonus buy
0:42:19 > 0:42:22and each team made a profit of £10
0:42:22 > 0:42:29- and the team that is marginally behind are the Reds.- Hurrah!
0:42:29 > 0:42:33- But there is only three pounds in it.- That's amazing!
0:42:33 > 0:42:35It is amazing, isn't it?
0:42:35 > 0:42:41- I think number one star is Andrew with his brilliant opera glasses making a profit of £15...- Well done.
0:42:41 > 0:42:42- ..which is good.- Yes.
0:42:42 > 0:42:47- And you have been a great team. I hope you've enjoyed it.- It's been lovely.- It's been great fun.

0:42:56 > 0:43:00- Made a nice profit on the penguin letter opener.- Thank you, David. - That's all right.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Overall you are minus £32, so very sadly
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- you're not going home with any pound notes in your pocket.- That's OK.
0:43:06 > 0:43:11But you can wear the mantle with pride as the victors today on Bargain Hunt.
