0:00:06 > 0:00:10My gosh, it's great to be outside in the fresh air,
0:00:10 > 0:00:14embracing the elements, being at one with nature.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19I'd much rather be at one with some bargains though, so let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Today, we're in the Kent County Showground in Detling.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57This fair is in the great outdoors
0:00:57 > 0:01:03and our contestants today are certainly in touch with nature.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08They're also not adverse to having the old party in a field either.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24Our peace-loving souls will have £300 and an hour to find their three bargains.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29They'll be accompanied by an expert who will give them help, advice, free love...
0:01:29 > 0:01:34I mean, guidance. They'll then take their three items to auction, where they'll hopefully make a profit.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38So, let's meet today's teams!
0:01:47 > 0:01:51For the Reds, we've got married couple Nick and Gill,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and for the Blues we've got brother and sister Georgina and Ted.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- Welcome to Bargain Hunt.- Hello!
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Hello! Very nice to see you. So how long have you two been married for?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Just under 20 years.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- And how did you meet? - We met in a band.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10- A mutual friend asked us to join in, and we did, and we picked the same songs to sing.- Did you?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Yes.- And you'd never met before? - No. We'd never met before.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- I mean, that's serendipity, isn't it?- Yes, it's absolutely incredible.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Brilliant. And, Jill, do you still play in a band together?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Oh, yes, in not one band.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I'm actually playing with four different bands.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30- What instrument do play? - Chiefly, the banjo, but I do actually play guitar.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35Sometimes the little banjo, a banjolele and sometimes a mandolin.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Nick, what do you play? - I play the double bass and the Hawaiian guitar.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Very good. Well, it's a lovely interest for you, isn't it?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43And what sort of music do you like to play?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Bluegrass is our favourite.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- Bluegrass, is it? Hillbilly?- Yes.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Hillbilly.- And do you go off to festivals and stuff?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Oh, yes, yes.- Yeah. And how do you travel around?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57We've got an old bus that we go to the festivals in.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00It's a converted park and ride bus from here in Maidstone.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Really?- Mmm-hmm. - Do you sleep in it?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Yes, yes.- Ooh, yes. - Yes, it's converted to a motor home.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Plenty of room for a double bass, a banjo, a guitar and a mandolin.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- The whole jolly lot. Well, that's fun.- Oh, yes.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- Anyway, fascinating couple. Good luck to you.- Thank you.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Now for the Blues. Georgina and Ted.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Now, Ted, your parents used to run an antique jewellery shop. - That's right.
0:03:22 > 0:03:28I did an apprenticeship in Hatton Garden and ended up doing repairs in a workshop behind the shop.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- And do you still repair things now? - Not in the jewellery world.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I buy anything that needs repairing and restoring and do it.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40- And, Georgina, your passion is animals.- Oh, love them, absolutely adore them.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41What animals have you had?
0:03:41 > 0:03:48Well, about ten years ago, we had at one time a pony, six sheep,
0:03:48 > 0:03:54two Border collies, a miniature poodle, four cats, lop-eared rabbit
0:03:54 > 0:04:00that used to bounce round the house, six guinea pigs, two budgerigars,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02fish, and we had a tank of stick insects.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Well, I should think that was quite a menagerie, all at home.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- It was, yes.- That's amazing. Is it true that you like to talk to trees, too?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Oh, yes, I do. When I take my dogs out, people think I'm a bit mad, but I do.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- I talk to the trees. - Oh, surely not!?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20But the worrying thing is that they speak back sometimes, so...
0:04:20 > 0:04:23What do you say then? "Hello, tree. "Or is it more personal than that?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Yeah. I sort of have a chat and say to them about the new leaves starting to come through
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- and how nice they look and...- Yes.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- And so forth.- And then, if you're lucky, you get a quick rustle back.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Yes, I definitely get a rustle back.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38You like to hoard. You're a bit of a collector, Georgina, yeah?
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Yeah, definitely. I love teddy bears, any sort of soft animals.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47I love antique jewellery. I love items made of wood.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I shouldn't think the trees are too happy about that.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54No, but when the animals run riot and they knock them over, they don't break.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- No, that's true. - I've learnt from experience.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58And, Ted, what do you collect?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Oh, I collect gold clocks, old cigarette lighters, specially
0:05:01 > 0:05:05the flint and petrol ones, and anything old and unusual.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Well, you're in the right place today, I can tell you,
0:05:08 > 0:05:12cos there's a fantastic fair out there and you both need £300. There's your £300.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Thank you very much. - 300. You know the rules.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Your experts await and off you go!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Well, with all this tree hugging and bluegrass strumming,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27these teams are going to need somebody to keep them under control.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29For the Reds, James Braxton.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32He's never happier than when strumming his banjolele.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35With the Blue team, Kate Bliss.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39There's nothing she loves more than tending to her bulbs.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- But can she dig up some bargains today?- Roller-skates on. Off we go!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I think we'll just do a quick scan.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48So they've only got one hour and it's all about teamwork.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52In a vast fair like this, they'll need to stick together.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Where has Ted gone? Oh, there he is.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Where's my team?
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Come on, James, get with the picture.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Ted needs to keep up with his team, too.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04The girls are just racing ahead.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06It's a good size, for a little cottage?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- That's what I'm thinking. - It's been repaired on the inside.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13It looks pretty original to me and it's got some age to it, hasn't it?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15It has. I don't think it's Victorian pine.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17At the end of the day, it doesn't matter, does it?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21It's in nice condition. I think the seat is possibly quite a bit later.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25I like this moulding on the bottom. They take the plainness off it.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28The thing that sells it to me is, it's properly jointed.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Yeah. It's got these nice joints here, hasn't it?
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Well, that shows it's quite old.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Normally, they just dowel them these days.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36I don't know. I'm just thinking...
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Trouble is though, guys, furniture isn't selling particularly well at the moment.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43You've got to bear in mind the future market is not buoyant.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- So if we want this, we want it at a really good price.- Yeah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Someone private might bid for this. - Right, right. - This is what I'm thinking of.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- That's all right. - Be a nice thing in a hall.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Let's find out how much it is.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Where's the lady?- Where's the lady?
0:06:55 > 0:07:01So whilst the Blues start some negotiations, the Reds have let out an embarrassing secret.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Oh, look at this! I recognise this one.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06What an earth is it for?
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- This is a shoe stretcher. - Shoe stretcher? Yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14I got one for her Christmas present to go in her stocking, cos she suffers from bunions.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18I thought it would just be a silly thing to put inside the shoe and press it down.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19It is a genuine Victorian one.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- You put it in the shoe and then... - Twist it.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- And that makes? - It stretches the leather.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27It stretches the leather where your bunion is?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Yes. - So that's replicating the bunion?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Exactly, exactly, yes.- Ah!
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- No, let's leave it be.- OK.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36- Let's get on.- Yes, let's go on.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Serious stuff. - Serious stuff, come on.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45As the Reds put their best foot forward, the Blues have news for Kate.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Kate...- What's the verdict?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- What about 90.- Has she come down to 90?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Is that OK?- Well, do you know, I would probably...- It was 120.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59D'you know, I'd put an auction estimate on of 80 120 quid probably.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I think it's got a chance of making 150 on a good day.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05We both liked it, didn't we?
0:08:05 > 0:08:0990. It will fit in most people's little kitchens and cottages, so...
0:08:09 > 0:08:10- Let's do it. - Have we got a deal?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- Let's press on.- There's no woodworm.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I hope not.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- OK, brilliant.- Great, let's do the deal.- We've got our first buy.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20So the Blues have made their first purchase and James
0:08:20 > 0:08:24is searching heaven and earth to find something for the Reds.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- I like this.- Hey... - What's that?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Are you, Nick and Jill, are you big cruisers? Do you ever get on a boat?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- No.- Only across to France.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Only across to France! Well, it does give you a real perspective
0:08:37 > 0:08:40of how much the earth's surface is covered by ocean, isn't it?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Well, it does.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45This huge Atlantic Ocean here.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- But great fun.- So how old do you think it is then, James?
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Well, I don't think it's terribly old. I think it's '60s or '70s.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55It looks like something that you might buy on a cruise.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57I just think it's a rather fun item.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59It is. It is a fun item, yes.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01What's your price, madam, on this then?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03The best is 20.
0:09:03 > 0:09:0520? Oh, dear, 20.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Said with a smile though. - Yes.- I've never seen one.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11I've never seen one like that, but do you think we could make a profit on it at that price?
0:09:11 > 0:09:18- That's the big question. - I think always the golden rule with auctions is to go for novelty items.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Yeah, and that is one of those. - You stand a fighting chance with novelty items.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24The lady's not going to move. It's going to be 20.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- We'll blow 20 on that.- 20.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29It's got to be worth that, hasn't it?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31You can't go much lower, can you?
0:09:32 > 0:09:3420 for a trip round the world.
0:09:34 > 0:09:40I call that a bargain. Now, I've been taking a trip round the fair and something has caught my eye.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Prepare yourselves for something rather special.
0:09:44 > 0:09:50Doesn't look particularly special with its simple spherical shape.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55Not a particularly sophisticated or special handle or spout.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59But actually, this is a very special pot.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Now the decoration on it is very imprecise.
0:10:03 > 0:10:10Here you've got an octopus sitting on the seabed with his squiffy little eye.
0:10:10 > 0:10:17Next door to that, the other side of the handle, we've got a weird and wonderful stingray type animal.
0:10:17 > 0:10:25And a bit further around, this gorgeous squid with a pair of beady eyes. Look at that.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27None of these sea creatures
0:10:27 > 0:10:30accurately represent a real sea creature.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34They're simply out of the imagination of the decorator.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Pretty wacky, eh?
0:10:36 > 0:10:44Turn it upside down and you can see a typical scratched-in signature and that says "Martin Brothers".
0:10:44 > 0:10:51Now the Martin brothers were four brothers, each of whom were potters, and they got together in Lambeth
0:10:51 > 0:10:58and formed their own pottery in the 1870s. And this one is dated 1875.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01That, I tell you, is a very rare pot.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04If you come across anything that's got a scratched signature
0:11:04 > 0:11:08that looks like that one, Martin Brothers, you're in the money.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Seriously in the money?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Yeah, seriously in the money.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18Cos the asking price for this pot on this stand is 4,200.
0:11:18 > 0:11:234,200! It's true.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26But our teams don't have that sort of cash.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- The Blues were quick to part with 90.- Let's do it.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- Well, have we got a deal? - Let's press on.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35But the Reds have only spent a measly 20 quid.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- We'll blow 20 on that.- 20.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- It's got to be worth that, hasn't it?- Can't go much lower.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43They need to do some spending!
0:11:45 > 0:11:4650. Really?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48They're not as commercial as they were.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Not like they were. - No, it's a shame.- Bear it in mind.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55What's selling very well is enamel at the moment, anything bright, pretty.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00And we've got a couple of trays of it here. Now which ones do you like?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- That's pretty.- That's very pretty, isn't it, the butterfly?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05So we've got a nice big butterfly.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- It's pretty, isn't it? - I think it comes from Cornwall.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Does it? Is it marked then as such?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12It just says "sterling silver" here.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- That's all it says. - A lot of people make it.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- I think that's very pretty that. - It is pretty.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I mean, if it was Horner, you know...
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Yeah, it would be a lot of money. - 300 probably.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Yes, it would be, yes.- What I like about this is this nice stylised peacock feather.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Has a real Decorative Arts look, doesn't it?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- It's beautiful.- It is. - Well, how much? That's the question.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35They've got it priced at 38, but we might...
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I still think... It's not...
0:12:37 > 0:12:39..outrageously expensive.
0:12:39 > 0:12:45What you're getting is a necklace, silver and enamel and a good Art Nouveau look.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- It is pretty.- I think you're getting value for money there.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- Can you help us out, just a bit? - Just a bit.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- 28.- 28, brilliant! What a kind man.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55What a kind man.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56- Shall we do that?- Yeah.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00So they managed to get their second item for 28.
0:13:00 > 0:13:06With 15 minutes to go, the Blues have gone indoors to see if they can root out their next find.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Where do you start here?- I know.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11The time is going to go so quick in here, isn't it?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19They're still quite good sellers these.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24One went the other day on Bargain Hunt. It was an oak one.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- This is mahogany, innit? - Paid 30 for it.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28It wasn't as ornate as this.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- No inlay on it at all. - Right.- But that made 40.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34I like the little bits of mother of pearl and the inlay.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36And this is enamelled or ceramic.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- This is mahogany.- So that's mahogany.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41With probably boxwood or satinwood inlay.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46But it's also got an enamel or a porcelain dial, which is rather nice.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50- What age do you think it is? - I'd say it's 1900, perhaps a little bit earlier.- Yes.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- What would it fetch at auction? - I can see that making 60 quid plus.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Definitely.- Definitely. - Right. I'll see you in a tick.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- OK.- Keep looking, guys. - We will.- We'll keep looking.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04The Blues seem to be in safe hands, but I think I should check up on the Red team.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Now you're under pressure, right?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08You're under pressure, why?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Because we haven't bought the third item.- We've got one item to go.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12And we can't find it.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- How much have you spent, can you remember?- Not very much.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Under 40 I think.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- We're cheapskates at the moment. - What?
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- I know. Well, we've seen a couple of items, but we didn't...- Under 40?
0:14:23 > 0:14:24- I know.- What are you up to, you two?
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- Pathetic, isn't it?- Well, the one I really liked was over 1,000 up there.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- I can't do anything about that. - I know.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34You've bought two items. You've spent less than 40 and how much time have you got left?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36About five minutes.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39It's enough to give you brown trousers that, isn't it?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- It is, isn't it? Yes. - I mustn't interrupt you any more.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- OK.- Right, good luck. - On with the search. OK.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47And they'd better be quick.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Time's short and the Blues are about to seal their second deal.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- Came down to 32. What do you think about that?- From?
0:14:53 > 0:14:54I did try 30, but 32.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- No, I think definitely. - Yeah, definitely.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Cos it's in nice order, isn't it?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00And if we clean it up...
0:15:00 > 0:15:02No, I think...
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- On a good day, I can see that making 60 quid plus.- Definitely.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Well, you've got a good day. It says "fair".
0:15:08 > 0:15:10It's a good omen.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Good omen.- It's a deal!
0:15:12 > 0:15:14So it's two all.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Time for the Reds to get a move on.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- Seven minutes, team.- Right.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- OK.- Do you enjoy a bit of a gamble?
0:15:21 > 0:15:26Well, our teams today of course can take a gamble with the bonus.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31This is the item that the expert has bought using any leftover lolly.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35The teams don't see it untill they get to the auction.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37They decide whether to take it or not.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40If they take it and it makes a profit, they hang on to that profit.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44If they take it and it makes a loss, then it's their loss.
0:15:44 > 0:15:52With minutes to go, both teams have still got an item to buy and now's not the time to start being fussy.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I think, "Who buys these now?" Do you know what I mean.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Do you think?- Yeah. I do see what you're saying, but I don't...
0:15:58 > 0:16:01How much is your lady up here?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Choosy. You are choosy.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- You're not mad on that one? - I don't like it very much.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07- Not mad on it.- No.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- You'd never be able to get those out anyway.- No.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14That's quite nice. That one down there.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15OK. Onwards.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Look at that. - Isn't that fun, the archer?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Yes.- How much have you got on that?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- 185.- 185.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34But I'll take 160.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Yeah. I think a lot of these were done for radiator covers.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Really? - Yeah. The French have a lot of...
0:16:41 > 0:16:46..sort of boxed radiators and they... I've got one at home.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- Not as big, but they just fit really well on them. - They're decorative pieces,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- aren't they?- They are.- These days.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Very decorative.- Very decorative.
0:16:57 > 0:17:03While the Reds are distracted by falling in love, the Blues are determined to hunt out the best buy.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07What do you reckon?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10We'll be guided by you. What would you do, your money?
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Aw!
0:17:18 > 0:17:24- I think you could lose less on the head.- Yes.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Damage limitation, is this?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29It's got a good look.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32It's got a good look.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36At long last, something's captured the Blue team's hearts.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- What do you think, Ted? - I think it gorgeous.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- I really like it.- I mean, it's a good, strong piece, isn't it?
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- I like the quality of the carving. - Where do you think it's from?
0:17:45 > 0:17:50Well, it's the sort of thing you get in a sort of gothic, Victorian stone manor house or hall, if you like.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- Yes, yeah. - Shame we haven't got another one, because a pair would be really fab
0:17:54 > 0:18:00and you'd perhaps see them either side of a fireplace or going up the stairs maybe of a lovely, mahogany...
0:18:00 > 0:18:01I could see it on a mantlepiece.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05In the middle of a mantlepiece it would look beautiful, wouldn't it?
0:18:05 > 0:18:06- Mmm.- And it's different.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Do you know what, I've got a good feeling about this.- I have.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- I like it. I love the quality. - Shall we do it?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Yes.- where there's weight, there's quality.- Yeah.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- I love it. - Right.- I love it, definitely.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Wait there.- OK.- I'll do the deed.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21That was a snappy decision.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Now have the Reds made their minds up yet?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27That's quite nice. That one down there.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Mmm.- Maybe you could do 100 on that,
0:18:30 > 0:18:31the pottery. What do you...?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34If they were all the same price, what would you buy?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Oh, I'd go for that one. - Go for the archer?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Well, that is so eye catching, the archer.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44If we could get a little bit off from 160, would you?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- I'll do 155 on it.- 155? - That would be it, yeah.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- Let's go for it.- Go on then. - We've got nothing to lose.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- We've run out of time. - You've got the money.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- We've run out of time, haven't we? - Yeah.- Yeah, we'll do it.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58155. Ever so kind.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Game, set and match!
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Time's up. What a racket!
0:19:03 > 0:19:06So did all that fresh air go to their heads?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12They thought the world was their oyster,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15but instead they settled for this novelty cut glass globe for 20.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17They got in a flutter
0:19:17 > 0:19:20over the silver and enamel butterfly necklace.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23And it shot them through the heart,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26the plastic figure of a female archer.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Now, Jill and Nick, you certainly enjoyed yourself, didn't you?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- Very much so, yes. - Excellent.- Certainly did.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Jill, which is your favourite of the three?
0:19:34 > 0:19:35I think the butterfly necklace.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- It's very pretty.- Which will bring the biggest profit?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Probably the glass globe.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- The glass globe job. - I agree.- Yeah? You agree.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45You spent 203, which is super duper.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I'd like 97 of leftover lolly.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- Any idea what you're going to buy, James?- Something that complements our buys already.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54What's that mean then?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- A bit of a guitar?- Yes...- Going to find yourself some hippy gear, what?
0:19:57 > 0:19:58I mean, what's happened here?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- You know me. I'll be sticking to... - Traditional, solid, reliable.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Something of onyx, malachite and silver probably.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Gosh! There are so many hints there.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Good luck, James, anyway. What a shambles.
0:20:10 > 0:20:16Anyway, let's remind ourselves what the Reds are up against and check out what the Blues bought.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18They were pining for a bargain
0:20:18 > 0:20:21and first up, the Blues bought the pine boxseat.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Next, the mahogany, inlaid barometer.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Let's hope it kicks up a storm at the auction.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31And they're hoping the Victorian, walnut, carved, mask bracket
0:20:31 > 0:20:33will be a roaring success.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Georgina and Ted, well, that was an experience for you, wasn't it?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40It was fantastic. Absolutely.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Which is your favourite, Ted? - The wall bracket.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Wall bracket. Do you agree, Georgina?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Yeah, I love it.- Yeah, you love it?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- Yup.- I love it, too.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Which is going to bring the biggest profit?- I would say the barometer.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53The barometer. Do you agree, Georgina?
0:20:53 > 0:20:54I think the pine pew might.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Pine pew. Ah, difference of opinion.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01You spent £232, which is quite magnificent.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- I'd like 68 quid please. - There we are.- There we go.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- 68 spuds coming over.- Lovely.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08How was it for you, Kate Bliss?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Well, I've learnt a few things today from these two.
0:21:11 > 0:21:18- Good.- They've got a very good eye and it was certainly quite an up and down ride, wasn't it, guys?- Yeah.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- What're you gonna buy then? - I've got a challenge ahead of me.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25I think we have two very choosy people over there, in a good way, a very good way.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Yes, but picky? - Well, you could put it like that.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30But knowledgably picky.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32So I have a challenge, so I'd better get started.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Yeah, you'd better go and get picking. Good luck, Kate.
0:21:35 > 0:21:41Now before we head off to auction, I'm off on a voyage of discovery! Ooh ah!
0:21:48 > 0:21:53I'm at Quex House near Canterbury in the south east of England.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Over the centuries, there have been lots of proprietors of this place.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00In the 1400s, it was the Parker family.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Then the Queeks.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Now I'm not absolutely certain about this,
0:22:06 > 0:22:10but I think that's how Quexs got its name, from the Queeks.
0:22:12 > 0:22:18In the 16th century, it was passed by marriage to the Crisp family
0:22:18 > 0:22:20and then was sold on to the Fox family,
0:22:20 > 0:22:27and then sold on to the Powell family, who remained in residence here until 2006.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32Thanks to the family's long association with, and occupation of,
0:22:32 > 0:22:37the house, it's stuffed full of interesting collections.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42Including a surprising number of long case clocks.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Now long case clocks are a bit like motor cars.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49We all know what a motor car looks like and if you
0:22:49 > 0:22:52say you own a motor car, everybody knows what you're talking about.
0:22:52 > 0:22:58But there's a world of difference between a Rolls Royce and an Austin Mini.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01This fellow is in the Rolls Royce category.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05For a kick off, it's got a most unusual dial.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Have you ever seen a dial arranged like that?
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Normally, it starts at one and whizzes round, two, three,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 11, 12.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17And you finish up with one and 12 close to one another at the top.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22What does this one do? Where you expect to find 12, you've got four.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Where you expect to find three, you've got one.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29Where six is supposed to be, there's two. And up here where nine is, it's three.
0:23:29 > 0:23:36Which means that this dial simply records four hours in one revolution.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38So why would you want to do that?
0:23:38 > 0:23:43Well, if you were in a naval establishment on shore and you
0:23:43 > 0:23:46wanted to work out the watch hours,
0:23:46 > 0:23:52when sailors would go on watch for four hours and change the watch
0:23:52 > 0:23:58every four hours, this is the arrangement of dial that you'd need to use.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01It's certainly an unusual piece.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Almost as interesting as the table underneath it.
0:24:05 > 0:24:12Now in the old days, for a landed estate like Quex, they might have 20,000 or 30,000 acres surrounding
0:24:12 > 0:24:16the mansion house, which would be let to agricultural tenants.
0:24:16 > 0:24:22They would pay their rent every quarter sitting around a table like this.
0:24:22 > 0:24:28If you look at the drawers running around the circumference, they're each inlaid with ivory initials.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Here we've got "F" and "G".
0:24:31 > 0:24:35So Farmer Giles would come in to pay his dosh
0:24:35 > 0:24:40and his rental agreement would be kept in a drawer like that.
0:24:40 > 0:24:48Take out his rental agreement, mark it up on the 25th March as a quarter day that the rent was paid,
0:24:48 > 0:24:52put the rental agreement back in the table
0:24:52 > 0:24:57and there it would stay until the next rental quarter on the 25 June.
0:24:57 > 0:25:05Some of these tables had a posting box in the middle into which the tenant would drop the money,
0:25:05 > 0:25:10which would then be depositing in a cupboard underneath. Brilliant, isn't it?
0:25:10 > 0:25:17The big question today is, are our teams going to be picking up much in the way of cash over at the auction?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Coming up, the Reds have a shock at auction. I can't believe this.
0:25:24 > 0:25:30- And the Blues are finding it hard to wear their poker faces.- Yes!
0:25:33 > 0:25:36But before we see how they get on,
0:25:36 > 0:25:40I'm going to have a chat with our auctioneer to find out his predictions.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Well, it's great to be in Canterbury at the Canterbury Auction Galleries
0:25:44 > 0:25:47with Michael Roberts, our auctioneer. Hello, Mike.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Hi, Tim. Good to see you again.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- First off then for Jill and Nick is the cut glass table globe.- Yeah.
0:25:53 > 0:25:59It almost looks like something that was presented at a BAFTA type ceremony, doesn't it?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- You've done really well in worldwide sales.- Yes.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04You work for a Japanese corporation and they give you one of these.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Instead of a Golden Globe you get a cut glass globe.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Absolutely right. Is it cut by hand then, do you think?
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Apparently, according to the label.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Some chap with a dental drill somewhere.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- Yes. So what do you think that's worth then?- Not a great deal.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- Erm, 30 50.- Really?
0:26:20 > 0:26:25It's probably brand new and I expect if you root around the internet,
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- you could probably find one similar for that sort of money. - Well, our team paid £20.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30- Right.- So that's not too bad.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Now the silver and enamel butterfly necklace.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36That sort of reminds one of something, doesn't it?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Well, it's a sort of Liberty design,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Charles Horner-ish, that kind of thing.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44But again, it's pretty much new.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Fine. So how much then?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- 15 to 20 at auction.- 15 to 20. £28.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- There's not much of a spread there. They can't lose much, can they?- No.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57- On the other hand, Jill, who fell in love with this great job.- Yeah.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00How do you rate cast plaster these days?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Presumably, it's after a bronze. Most of these things are.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08It's sort of a Deco version of Diana the Huntress.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12It's all right. When we get them in they sort of seem to sell for £60 or £70.
0:27:12 > 0:27:1460 or 70, eh?
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Well, ish. I mean, our estimate's 45 to 60, to get a bit of interest.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- Yes, quite.- Hopefully!
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- How low will you stoop? That's the question.- Find out, I suppose.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- I mean, £155 she paid. - Really? Oh, dear!
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I mean, that's a good old stride, isn't it?
0:27:29 > 0:27:34- Whoops. That's a whoops one. - You've really got to want Diana in green plaster to pay £155.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38My prediction is there's a bit of a green hole opening up underneath this object.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42They're going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Now, Nick and Jill, you spent £203.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47You gave James £97.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50What did he spend it on?
0:27:50 > 0:27:51- Oh!- Oh! - That little fella.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- That is very nice.- Oh!- That will go well with the necklace, won't it?
0:27:55 > 0:27:57It will. It will. It will.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Yeah.- Sort of almost an oil sweet.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Can we have a look at the back? Oh, yes, sweet little catch.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- It's got no marks on it though, does it?- No.- Can you tell its age?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Yeah, yeah.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14It's typical of that rather nice Arts and Crafts period.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Just a very nice iridescent, enamel boss here.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19- And the price is nice.- So how much?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- How much was it?- £20.- How much do you think it's going to make?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- That's the big question.- Oh!
0:28:25 > 0:28:28How long's a piece of string?
0:28:28 > 0:28:33Erm, it should do £20 or £30, or even more.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Had it had marks on it, I don't think I would have bought it at £20.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38- No.- No.- That's the reason.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43Mr Horner, somebody like that, on a solid silver one would be over £100.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46So for £20 it's a punt, isn't it, James?
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- Definitely. - Anyway, thank you very much.
0:28:48 > 0:28:53For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about James Braxton's brooch.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58- That's a pretty little brooch, isn't it?- Well, it is. It's fine.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03Arts and Crafts design. A sort of cabochon sort of blue-green enamel.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06I've catalogued it as white metal, as there's no hallmarks on it.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10Presumably it is silver, but often these things are too thin to stamp properly.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Our estimate is £10 to £15.
0:29:12 > 0:29:18£20 paid by Brackers, so he's reckoning on a bit of a profit there and he may get a small profit.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- Fingers crossed.- That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Georgina and Ted, their first item - Georgina found it -
0:29:24 > 0:29:28is this pine box settle.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29- What do you make of that?- It's OK.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33Sort of Victorian design. Bit of panelling.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35But it's not terribly big
0:29:35 > 0:29:38and it's pretty ugly.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41And if you look at it, the quality is pretty poor.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Look at that! What's that, rough old floorboards or something?
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- It looks to be. Certainly down the bottom there.- Dear, oh, dear!
0:29:48 > 0:29:50It's not particularly good.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- No. What do you think it's going to bring?- Sort of £40 to £60.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57£90 paid. I think they're going to be lucky to get a profit on that.
0:29:57 > 0:30:02- Sure.- The inlaid barometer, that's a different kettle of fish, isn't it?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- Cos that's at least nicely inlaid and...- Sure.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- ..and a little period piece. - It's a nice quality item.
0:30:08 > 0:30:13There's a little bit of damage round the glass there, but it's a nice bit of bevelled glass. Good bit of inlay.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- What's it worth? - £30 to £50 in my estimate.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- Oh, that's great. £32 paid.- Good. - Kate found it, she loved it.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21£32. I don't think that's a bad price, do you?
0:30:21 > 0:30:22- No.- To buy in a fair anyway.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Well, absolutely. That's quite good.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Yeah. What about this mask joker?
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Well, I quite like this. It's nicely carved with this lion's mask.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34It's a good thing. It's quite heavy, which would indicate a good piece of
0:30:34 > 0:30:37timber and the quality of the carving the whiskers and everything it's...
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- Yeah, it's nicely done. - Got all his teeth.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Got all his teeth.- Unlike some of us.
0:30:43 > 0:30:49Ha! But I think it's a nice thing and it's the sort of thing that tends to sell fairly well here.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54- What's your estimate? - Well, £60 to £80 to perhaps reflect a bit of damage at the top.
0:30:54 > 0:30:59- £110 paid.- All right. OK, sure. - So that's a bit chancy.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Yes. But fingers crossed and we might scrape something.
0:31:02 > 0:31:08Yes. Well, on the basis that we might get a good scrape, let's have a look at their bonus buy.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12Now, Georgina and Ted, you spent £232, which is quite magnificent,
0:31:12 > 0:31:15and you gave £68 to Kate for the bonus buy.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17OK, Kate, let's have a look at it.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21Oh, wow! Oh, that's really sweet.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24You set me quite a challenge, because you were very discerning
0:31:24 > 0:31:29in your purchases, and I was very determined to find you something you might like.
0:31:29 > 0:31:35He's a British, little, tin plate, clockwork hare, with the key,
0:31:35 > 0:31:38which is great. They've stayed together.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Wind it up and he does this lovely little hopping about.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46Goes up on his rear legs and then hops along the floor, which I think is absolutely super.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- Oh, he's really cute.- How old is he?
0:31:48 > 0:31:51I would think he's probably '30s, pre-war I would say.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Yes, '30s, '40s, maybe.
0:31:53 > 0:31:58If toy collectors had spotted him, I think he could make £20 to £40.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- I paid 15.- Oh, that's really good!
0:32:01 > 0:32:04You don't actually have to decide right now.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06You decide after the sale of your first few items.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- No, it is super.- Lovely. - Absolutely super thing.- Thank you.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about old hopalong.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Here we go, here comes hopalong. - Righty-oh.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17- Erm...- What do you make of that?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19It's quite a nice thing.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- British-made, which adds a bit of interest.- Yeah.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26Yeah, it's a good thing and I've had him going and he's quite fun really.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Oh! Ah!
0:32:29 > 0:32:33- And he's done that for the telly, too. What a performer!- Absolutely.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- So it's in working condition... - It is, yeah.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- What do you think the estimate is? - Well, my estimate is £25 to £35.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- Great. £15 she paid.- Good. OK, that will be in with a chance.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47Yeah. Well, hop along, good luck. See you at the auction.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52It's at about this time of the day
0:32:52 > 0:32:57that I feel the need for something to spice things up.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59Saucy!
0:32:59 > 0:33:04I mean, have you ever seen anything so enchanting as this?
0:33:04 > 0:33:07This is an oil on canvas.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Here we go look, there's the canvas.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12"John B Smith" the supplier of the canvas.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14All dirty behind.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18Absolutely genuine and I guess dating from around about 1910,
0:33:18 > 0:33:19something like that.
0:33:19 > 0:33:24Here we've got a completely unknown sauce, OV sauce.
0:33:24 > 0:33:30Bottle of sauce, "for hot or cold meats, chops, steak, fish, game, etc".
0:33:30 > 0:33:32And then these two characters.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36We all know the nursery rhyme Jack Spratt.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Well, this is a new version of it.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42"Jack Spratt could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean.
0:33:42 > 0:33:49"Between them both and OV sauce, they licked their platters clean".
0:33:49 > 0:33:51How sweet is that?
0:33:51 > 0:33:53And here we've got Mrs Spratt.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56"Go on, Jack. Give me a drop more sauce. "
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Looking across, slightly naughtily, at a very,
0:34:00 > 0:34:05very thin husband, who of course is holding a bottle of OV sauce.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10I mean, I think this is the most enchanting image I've seen in yonks.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14Who's going to buy it? Well, anybody who's keen on kitchenalia.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17If you wanted to jolly up your kitchen or your restaurant,
0:34:17 > 0:34:19this is just the picture to do it.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21It's food related.
0:34:21 > 0:34:27It's good fun and at £80 to £120 it ain't gonna cost an arm and a leg.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Is it, Jack?
0:34:28 > 0:34:32# Saucy Jack is coming back
0:34:32 > 0:34:36# Saucy Jack is on the attack... #
0:34:37 > 0:34:41Now, Jill and Nick, how are you feeling?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- Fingers crossed. - Fingers crossed.- Fingers crossed.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- That is not a very positive or confident response.- No, it isn't.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50What's the problem then? Where are you feeling shifty?
0:34:50 > 0:34:51I think the green figure. I think...
0:34:51 > 0:34:53We paid an awful lot of money for that.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Well, I don't know. It's got a style. It's got a look.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58The problem is it's made of plaster.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01First up then is the cut globe and here it is.
0:35:01 > 0:35:0569 is the modern, green, overlay, cameo, cut glass globe of the world.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08I have commission interest. Going to start at £20.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12We're looking for 2. 22. 24. 26.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Well done, James.- 30.
0:35:14 > 0:35:162. 34. 36. 38.
0:35:16 > 0:35:1940 with me. And 2. 40 on commission.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Who's 42 now?
0:35:20 > 0:35:2242. Looking for 4. 42 and selling.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26£42. Brilliant. You are plus £22.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28James, you doubled the money. Good boy.
0:35:28 > 0:35:3170 is the butterfly pattern necklace.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34I have commission interest. Gonna start at £42.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35£42!
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Wow!
0:35:37 > 0:35:39£44, where? 44.
0:35:39 > 0:35:4546. 48. 50. 5. 60. 5. 70 with me.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- And 5. 70 on commission. Who's 75? - I can't believe this.
0:35:48 > 0:35:53- 70 and selling.- 70. You're a genius, James.- You certainly are.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Next though is the green goddess.
0:35:55 > 0:35:5871 is the green plaster figure of the Art Deco archer.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01I have commission interest. I'm going to start at £30.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04And I'm looking for 2. Who's 32 now?
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Any more? So I'm going to sell on commission for £30.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Looking for 2. £30 and selling.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12He's selling it for £30. I can't believe it. £30.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17- That is minus £125 on that single item.- Ooh!
0:36:17 > 0:36:21Yes, well, I'm afraid it's slightly as per predictions.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23You were doing so nicely.
0:36:23 > 0:36:30You had a profit of £64. That has disappeared with that £125 loss.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34- Where does that leave us? - I think you've now got a loss of 61.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39- Whoops!- Whoops. - What we need is a miracle now.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- You need a miracle.- What's your little brooch going to do?
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- I would definitely go for it. - Definitely going to go for that.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46You are £61 down the lavatory.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49This is quite a serious position to be in.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53You are well flushed. So what are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:36:53 > 0:36:54- We're going to go with it. - No question.
0:36:54 > 0:36:5975 is the silvery metal mounted and blue-green enamelled circular brooch.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01I have commission interest.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04I'm going to start at £22. Looking for 24. £24, where?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Anywhere 24? Decorative brooch. 24.
0:37:06 > 0:37:0826. 28.
0:37:08 > 0:37:1130 here. And 2. Bid's here at £32.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- Who's 34 now?- Keep coming!
0:37:13 > 0:37:1634. Who's 36? 34 and selling.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19You are now minus £47.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Not as dire as we thought.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Not as dire as it might have been.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- No.- Now minus 47 could be a winning score, so don't tell the Blues anything, all right?
0:37:27 > 0:37:28- No, we won't say a thing.- OK. Mute.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Jack Spratt could eat no fat.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39You liked it? Well, it's coming up next. Here comes the pick.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44152, the English oil painting, the advertising for OV sauce.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48Have commission interest. We'll start at 60. Looking for 5.
0:37:48 > 0:37:525. 75. 85. 95.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56110. 120. 130. 140. 150.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- Cor!- 160. 170.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00180 here. 190.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Bid with you at 190. Who's 200? Any more?
0:38:03 > 0:38:04190 and selling.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Aw! £190.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09That's a proper saucy price!
0:38:14 > 0:38:18Now, G and T, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20You don't know nothing? Nothing?
0:38:20 > 0:38:26- No. Not a thing.- That's very good. Are you feeling confident, Georgina?- Erm...
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Bit of this and a bit of that? - A bit of this and a bit of that.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- What about you, brother Ted? - Er, about the same, actually.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- About the same?- I've got a feeling we could be in with a chance.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37How does Kate feel about this line up?
0:38:37 > 0:38:41I think we'll get all right on some. I think we might struggle on maybe...
0:38:41 > 0:38:44I've got a funny feeling about the pine bench.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48- I don't think that's going to go quite as well. - Not such a good feeling?- Mm.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52I have to tell you that the auctioneer and I were sniffy about that bench,
0:38:52 > 0:38:56because we didn't think much of the timber it had been made out of.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01- It's good for keeping coats and shoes in.- Absolutely right. It's functional and it's ready to go.
0:39:01 > 0:39:06It just ain't that old or well made, but that doesn't necessarily mean it won't make 90.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10- It's rustic.- 91 is the panelled, pine box settle.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Who will start me at 20?
0:39:12 > 0:39:1520 I'm bid. Who's 22. 22 where?
0:39:15 > 0:39:1822 for someone? Surely 22 now. 22.
0:39:18 > 0:39:2224. There you are at 24. 26. 28.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- 30. 2.- Come on!- 34.
0:39:25 > 0:39:2836 now? With you at 36. Who's 38?
0:39:28 > 0:39:30I'm going to sell at £36.
0:39:30 > 0:39:3236.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36That's four, 40... Is that £54?
0:39:36 > 0:39:37Is that minus £54?
0:39:37 > 0:39:41It's minus £54. Oh, dear! Now here comes the barometer.
0:39:41 > 0:39:4692 is the early 20th century, mahogany, circular, aneroid barometer. Lot 92.
0:39:46 > 0:39:4720 where? 20 I'm bid.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51Thank you. And 2? 22. 24. 26. 28.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52- 30. 2.- Yes!
0:39:52 > 0:39:5534. 36. 34.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- Who's 36 now?- Go on! Go on!
0:39:57 > 0:39:59- 34 and selling. Same buyer.- £34.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- We made 2!- Plus £2.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Now comes the bracket. Stand by for this.
0:40:05 > 0:40:0993 is the Italian, walnut, serpentine-fronted wall bracket.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Lion's mask. Nice thing. Lot 93.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16- Have commission interest. I'm going to start at 75.- Yes!- Yes!
0:40:16 > 0:40:18I'm looking for 80. Who's 80 in the room?
0:40:18 > 0:40:23- Anyone 80? If not, I'm going to sell on commission. 75, looking for 80. - Oh, no!- 75 and selling.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25£75. That's very cheap, isn't it?
0:40:25 > 0:40:29- £75 is minus £35.- Oh, never mind!
0:40:29 > 0:40:3252. You are minus £87.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- Well, we got the... - SHE LAUGHS
0:40:35 > 0:40:36This is not a great score, is it?
0:40:36 > 0:40:41But it could be a winning score. What are you going to do about the hare, then?
0:40:41 > 0:40:43- We're going to go for the hare. - We're going for the hare.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47We think it's very rare, actually. A rare hare!
0:40:47 > 0:40:51Well, all I can say is, "Hare we go again!"
0:40:51 > 0:40:5697 is the '30s, English, tinplate, clockwork, hare toy.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58It does a little running hop and sit.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Lot 97.
0:41:01 > 0:41:02And who will start me at 20?
0:41:02 > 0:41:0420 where? 20 I'm bid. Thank you.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07- Who's 22? 22 where?- Yes, come on!
0:41:07 > 0:41:09- Come on!- 22, madam. 24.
0:41:09 > 0:41:1124. 26. 28.
0:41:11 > 0:41:1330. 32. 34.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Oh, well done!
0:41:15 > 0:41:1836. 38? No. 36. Who's 38?
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Any more? If not, I'm selling at 36.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23£36.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Well done, Kate!
0:41:25 > 0:41:2715 plus 6 is plus 21.
0:41:27 > 0:41:32- You know the moral of this story? - What's that?- We should have had four hares!
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- Quite a good moral, that. - You're mental!
0:41:37 > 0:41:41You are minus...£66 as a result of that.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- That's lucky, innit? Clickety click. - Clickety click.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Clickety click. I think we done really well.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49I think you've done really well.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51I think you've done really, really well.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- I really think we've done well. - That is phenomenal.- It is. - Only losing £66.- Fabulous!
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- It's fabulous.- Absolutely.
0:42:01 > 0:42:07Sadly today, nobody is going home with any cash, but have you teams been talking with one another?
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- You haven't been having a chat?- No.
0:42:09 > 0:42:14Well, I have to reveal the scale of the losses now, which are fairly massive, I'm afraid.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16For the Blue team, the Blues...
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- you are down by £66 overall.- Oh!
0:42:19 > 0:42:24It would have been a lot worse were it not for Kate's bonus buy, the wind up hare.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- So thank you for finding that fellow.- Well done, Kate.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30But you've been a great team anyway, this brother and sister team.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33The love has just oozed out of you!
0:42:33 > 0:42:39But the victors today are the Reds, and strictly speaking you should have been taking home money.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41- We should have been. - We did try.- You did try.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45Two of your items made thumping profits and then you had that monster loss.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47The green lady let us down.
0:42:47 > 0:42:52The green lady certainly did let you down. The bonus buy even made you profit, but it wasn't enough.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56Overall, you are minus £47, but nevertheless victors.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58I hope you've all had a very nice time.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
