My, am I going to serve you up a treat today! | 0:00:05 | 0:00:09 | |
So draw up a chair and let me entertain you and let's go bargain hunting! | 0:00:09 | 0:00:14 | |
Today, we're at Ardingly Antiques Fair in sunny West Sussex. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
Coming up, the Blues are getting flirty. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
-Another cuddle. -He kissed me! | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
-I've got a stitch. -And the Reds are downright cheeky. -You want to get to the gym more often. -Outrageous! | 0:00:53 | 0:01:00 | |
The rules are simple. Each team has £300 to spend and an hour to shop for three items. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:06 | |
The winner is the team that makes the biggest profit or least loss. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
-Yes! -Yes! | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
This is amazing. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:15 | |
So, a tasty lunchtime show is in store today. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:20 | |
Hmm, delicious! Now let's go and meet today's teams. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
On today's show, we have two teams of married couples. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
We've got Andy and Kate for the Reds and we've got Val and Terry for the Blues. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
Welcome. And by an amazing coincidence, we have discovered | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
that both of our teams come from the same village, but Kate, you do recognise Terry, don't you? | 0:01:40 | 0:01:46 | |
I do, yeah. I take my daughter Frankie down to the local pleasure park | 0:01:46 | 0:01:52 | |
and when I see Terry, I see that it was the driver. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
-You recognised me, didn't you? -You recognised Kate. Isn't that lovely? | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
What do you drive down at the amusement place? | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
-A small, miniature train. -Are you Terry the Tank Engine? | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
No, I'm either Charlie or Mr Diddly. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
-Charlie or Mr Diddly. -Mr Diddly is the name, really. That's the name of the train. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
It's all happy families on this show. Kate, you had an unusual meeting with Andy, didn't you? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:21 | |
Yes, I was on the M1 services and all of a sudden, I've spotted him | 0:02:21 | 0:02:26 | |
and thought, "I'll give him my number cos we were looking at each other." | 0:02:26 | 0:02:31 | |
I went over there, introduced myself, swapped numbers and that's it, really. He texted me. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:37 | |
-Yes? -And that's it. -I think that's rather sweet, don't you? -Yeah, definitely. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
-Now you've got your daughter Frankie. But you're very experienced with dealing with children? -Yeah. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:48 | |
-Yeah, I was a nursery nurse for about eight years. -Were you? -Yeah. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:53 | |
-What's it like having your own? -A nightmare cos you can't give 'em back to anyone! | 0:02:53 | 0:02:58 | |
Andy, when you're not working, what do you enjoy doing? | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
A bit of sailing, bit of golf, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
-if I'm allowed to spend the weekend walking in the sunshine. -That's an excuse, though. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:09 | |
I am that transparent, I know. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
No, but the 19th hole is a great temptation | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
-for you golfers. -Absolutely. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
What do you enjoy collecting? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
Anything small - model trains, model cars, model boats and model planes. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
-Will you be looking out for anything like that today? -Yes, I've got a bit of a keen eye for the model trains. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:32 | |
We like to hear that. I should say your fellow villagers are quaking in their boots. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:38 | |
-Are you? -I don't think so. -No, no. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
-Now, Valerie, you're awfully keen on dabbling, aren't you? -Yes, I am. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:45 | |
-In antiques. -Yes. -Tell us about it. -More collectables, rather than antiques. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
Well, it started off about 15 years ago. My sister and I used to go to auctions. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:56 | |
And there was always something we fancied each in a box of bric-a-brac. Just one item. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:03 | |
So what do we do with the rest of the stuff that's in the box? Sell it. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:08 | |
Now, Terry, it says here that you're also an old romantic. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
-Yeah, I've always been a little bit that way cos we've been married nearly 49 years. -That is remarkable. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:18 | |
-You married as children, didn't you(?) -Val was 17. I came out of the army. I was 21. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
We worked at the same firm. That's where I met her. Fell in love straight away. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
-She actually proposed in a tent next to a lake. -So you proposed, Val? | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
Yes, I did, but I can't remember what I said. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
It was something like, "We should do this more often," or "on a more regular basis". | 0:04:36 | 0:04:42 | |
Camping, I mean! LAUGHTER | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
Now, the money moment. Here we go, £300 apiece. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go and very, very good luck! | 0:04:49 | 0:04:54 | |
Well, whatever next? | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
Running around with the Red Team is Catherine Southon. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
And dashing about with the Blue Team is Anita Manning. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:10 | |
-Let's go and have a look. -Right. -Let's go. -Let's go that way. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
-Let's go bargain hunting. -Let's go. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
Hey, that's my line! | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
Just 30 seconds into their shopping, something has already caught Catherine's eagle eye. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:30 | |
-What have you seen? -I'm just looking at that walking cane. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
A bit of ivory on the top there. I think the ivory is probably late 19th century. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:39 | |
-May I have a look? -That's quite nicely made. -Super. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
-How much is it? -It's quite simple. ..£85. A bit too much money. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
I think that's what it would make at auction. I just thought that was a nice one. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
-It is nice. -Very nice. -We could actually try and barter him down. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:57 | |
-I just think that's nice quality. What's your best price on your walking cane? -Sorry? | 0:05:57 | 0:06:02 | |
-What's your best price on your walking cane? -I think it's 85. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
Maybe do a little better for us, sir? A bit of a haggle perhaps? | 0:06:06 | 0:06:11 | |
-It's... -That's quite high. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
75, uh... | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
-50? -65. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
-I think maybe if we could get that for 50... -55. > | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
60. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
Go on, do 55 and I'll give you a great big smile. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
-LAUGHTER 60. -I think we'll go for 60. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
-Yeah, we'll take that for 60. > -Will we? | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
-Shall we have that for 60? -It's a bargain, isn't it? | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
How many minutes have we been...? We have been about one minute. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:44 | |
-We've done really well. -Is she like this when you go...? -Yes, she's like this wherever we go. It's your... | 0:06:44 | 0:06:51 | |
I've never been with somebody who sees something in two minutes | 0:06:51 | 0:06:56 | |
and says, "Yeah, we'll have that, that'll do. Next!" | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
-What do you think? It's your call. -Shall we keep looking? -Well... | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
-Why don't you? Cos it's literally two minutes. -Why don't we pop back? | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
We've got 58 minutes to go. We can always come back to this. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:13 | |
Trust your instincts. That's what I always say. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
Kate, I love you. You're my new best friend! | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
I have never met anybody on Bargain Hunt quite like you | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
who just says, "Yeah, that'll do, that's fine." | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
-Do you want to make any money? -Yes, I do. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
"Souvenir, Paris." | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
"Souvenir de Paris." | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
So it's a French box. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
-It's probably turn of the century. -And what's this for then? | 0:07:48 | 0:07:53 | |
Let's open it up and have a wee look. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
You open this here, | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
put that up there... | 0:07:59 | 0:08:01 | |
It's for, like, slides, pictures? | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
It's a stereoscope. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
A stereoscope, that's it. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
And this part here comes down there. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
It's a wee bit fiddly. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
-Here is our cinematographer. -Oh, yeah. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
-Show us how it works. -I know the price of everything and the value of nothing. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:24 | |
That's a good starting point. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
You put your image here which would be a double image of the same thing. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:33 | |
And this slides to and fro, so you get it in focus. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:38 | |
Then when you look through there... | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
-It's in 3D? -Yeah, 3D, and you just see one image. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
They're making digital cameras quite like it now where you can have that double image which converts to one. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:51 | |
But it's about 1880s. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
And people would have gone on their grand tour. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
They would have bought one of these and would have bought a series of cards, perhaps the Folies Bergere. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:03 | |
-Yeah. -Or perhaps scenes of the Seine. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
But for me, the interest is actually in this box. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
This is quite a substantial instrument and it is an instrument. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
It has got some damage cos the catch is off. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
That's what I like to hear. Did you hear that? We've got a wee bit of damage. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:23 | |
Six-million-dollar question... How much is it? | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
I think it's worth about 150 quid, but if you want it, you can have it for 110. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:31 | |
-Seems too high to me. -Well, how near can you get? | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
-50 quid? -Hold on, can I call the police? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
75 quid is the lowest I can go. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
-75. -And if you want a bit of bubble wrap, I can sell you a bit for £1. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:49 | |
He's a wonderful guy! | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
What an offer! | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
One of the things you hope to find in your local fair is local pottery | 0:09:58 | 0:10:03 | |
and here in Ardingly in Sussex, | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
one of the famous local potteries that you might expect to find is the Farnham Pottery | 0:10:06 | 0:10:12 | |
which is renowned for producing its little owl jugs. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
Imagine how my pulses started to race when I saw this little fellow | 0:10:16 | 0:10:22 | |
on a shelf around the corner. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
Classic Farnham owl form, you might think. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:29 | |
A wee jug, look, with its handle | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
and the vestige of a spout above its beak | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
and very, very nice too. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
Much more surprising, though, when I turned it upside down, was to find this scratched signature, | 0:10:38 | 0:10:45 | |
which says, "Baron, Barnstaple." | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
This is a piece of North Devon pottery. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
Baron was a pottery that operated off Rolle Quay in Barnstaple | 0:10:53 | 0:10:58 | |
between about 1899 and about 1920. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
Quite how this little West Country owl found its way to the south-east, I cannot tell you. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:10 | |
But what I can tell you is the colour scheme is incredibly unusual. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:15 | |
You'd never dream that this was a Baron piece of pottery from North Devon | 0:11:15 | 0:11:21 | |
and as such, at only £45, | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
this fellow is something of a bargain. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
Tu-whit-tu-whoo! | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
He looks really old. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
How much is your wee box? | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
-That could be £60. -It's quite a fun wee thing. -Yeah. -I've closed it and I can't get it open again! | 0:11:43 | 0:11:49 | |
There's a button on the front. If you just push the front... | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
-Ah, right. -There's a little button underneath. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
-I take it this is brass? -Uh-huh. -Yeah. -That'd clean up lovely. | 0:11:56 | 0:12:01 | |
-It would be the type of thing that you would carry in your travelling case... -That's right. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:07 | |
Along with your bottles of powder and so on. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
And you would have that little ink set to write your letters home. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
So if we push this button here, | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
it will reveal this little inkwell. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
And it's good that the bottles are still there. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
Let's see. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
Oh, yeah. It's complete. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
These little things here are to rest your pen. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
-That's right. -That's really nice. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
Again we're looking at something which is a wee bit unusual, | 0:12:38 | 0:12:43 | |
-which will make the bidders go that extra bit. -Yeah. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
Valerie, see what you can do. Ask him how much it is. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:51 | |
Good-looking young man... | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
-Which one's going to come forward? -It's you that came forward. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
How much did you say? £60. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
I'll give you 40. > £50. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
-< I can't do a lot on it. -I still think there's a profit in that. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
-I think there's a profit in that. -< I think there is. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
So what was it again? 50 quid. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
Good try. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
The Blues have now made two of their three purchases. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
Despite their initial bravado, the Reds are not doing so well. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
-OK, we've had 25 minutes and we haven't bought anything. -Oh, no. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
-Do you want to buy that walking stick? -Yes. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
I've come about the walking stick. Is it possible at all? | 0:13:35 | 0:13:40 | |
I really need it for 55. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
-I've got an item. -Excellent. -I had to give him 60. He wouldn't take any less. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:52 | |
-Good girl. -One down, two to go. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
-She gave him a bit of stick, eh? -Can I just show you two something? | 0:13:54 | 0:13:59 | |
This little stamp here, can I just have a look at that little ivory handle? | 0:13:59 | 0:14:04 | |
-Is that an auctioneer's gavel? -It certainly is. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
-Auctioneers' gavels are very collectable. -Yeah. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
Particularly ones in ivory and in nice condition. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
-Oh. -If it is an auctioneer's gavel, as long as it's not the handle of something... | 0:14:16 | 0:14:22 | |
The ivory itself looks probably late 19th century. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:26 | |
It's turned beautifully. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
-It's a bit small for a gavel. -Perhaps it might be the handle from a bathroom chain. -A bathroom chain! | 0:14:28 | 0:14:35 | |
-This little bit worries me. -Is there evidence of a hole in the middle? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah. -That worries you, doesn't it? | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
-How much do you want for that? -35. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
Do you think it is supposed to be a gavel? First of all, the handle is not very big. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:52 | |
I do know it is because it came from an auctioneer. He had a collection of them. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:57 | |
-Why would it have a hole in it? -No idea. Probably been there for years. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
-Perhaps it's just a quirky one. -You hold it as a man. It's great for a lady. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:06 | |
I thought at first it was some sort of stamp for perhaps wax on the back of an envelope. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:11 | |
-But it hasn't got the... -There's no indentation on it. -Shall we think about that? What's your best price? | 0:15:11 | 0:15:18 | |
30. You won't go any lower? > No. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
We'll stick it on the side and we shall have a little think. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:26 | |
So this is another one you're going to think about. Great(!) | 0:15:26 | 0:15:31 | |
And there's me thinking you were a decisive pair. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
What's that shiny thing, Anita? | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
25 is not dear for a silver box. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
But you've got to look at this | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
and say the fact that we have this symbol | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
which is depicting a cinema association... | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
-It's Rank, isn't it? -Will that make it more desirable? | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
Or will it make it less desirable? | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
-"25 Year Club." -"John Brown." -There's a silver mark. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
What year is it? | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
It's made in Birmingham. It's got the silver mark here. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
But it's not an early one. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
It's in good condition. Have a look at it. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
It's Regent Street. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
-Let's have a... -That's the maker's name. -Yes. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
Garrard & Company, Regent Street. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
-That is a prestigious company. -Yeah, yeah. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
(So you've got to take it, you've got to take it, Garrard & Company.) | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
-Somebody speaks very, very quietly. -Ah! -Hello, Tim. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
-What are you up to? -We don't want anybody to hear. -I'm sorry, I'm here and I heard. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:50 | |
-You've found something nice? -A little silver box. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-Yes, look at that. -The Rank Organisation symbol on it. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
-How many items have you bought so far? -Two. -Two. -Have you? | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
-We're doing really, really well. -Surprise, surprise! -They're a wonderful team. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:07 | |
-You're in safe hands, aren't you? -Och! -Och! -Best hands possible. -Yeah. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
-I've hands all morning. -LAUGHTER -Settle down, Terry. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:16 | |
-Will you negotiate? -Do you want to speak man to man? -Yeah. -Man to man. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
While our Tel is off to have a quiet word with the dealer, | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
the Reds have spotted a potential bargain. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:30 | |
-This... -What is it? | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
-< It's a strop for sharpening your own razors. -Oh, right. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
-Oh, how lovely! -It's ivory. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
-Isn't that lovely? -I think that's really nice. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
So this is a strop. A gentleman would have used this for sharpening his cut-throat razor. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:49 | |
Yeah, you can see there all the markings. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
What is lovely is that monogram. Isn't that beautiful? | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
-So this was made for a particular gentleman. That's a sign of quality. -Is it? -Yeah, beautiful quality. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:02 | |
We're looking at probably late 19th century. It looks Victorian. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
Late Victorian, I would have thought. Why has a girl like you gone for something like that? | 0:18:06 | 0:18:12 | |
Do you know why? I absolutely love it because it's the ivory. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
-Is that why you looked at it? -Yes, because we've been looking at some ivory bits. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:21 | |
It's quite a pleasant little thing. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
-I like that. -How much is on that? 50. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
-Would you take... -30? -..30 quid for that? | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
Oh, no, darling. 35? > | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
40...? | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
65's on it, isn't it? | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
-No, 50. -50. -It's got 50 on it. That's not much I'm asking off. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
I shouldn't price it at four in the morning, should I? | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
-I'll give you 40. -It's got to be 40. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
Go on then. Oh, brilliant! | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
Nothing like some cut-throat negotiation! | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
But don't panic about all this ivory, folks. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
Although it's not to everyone's taste, if it pre-dates 1947, it's legal to buy and sell. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:03 | |
-I hope he's good at negotiating. -He's better when it's a woman. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
-He's better when it's a woman? -We'll see how it goes. -Excuse me, ladies. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
-£20. -You've got it? -I got it for £20. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
-Great. -Yes! I'm delighted. Well done. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
-Another cuddle. -He kissed me! | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
It's nearly a tongue sandwich for the Blues, but the Reds are still looking for their final purchase. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:27 | |
-Nine minutes. -Nine minutes! | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
So there's no time for any monkey business! | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
-He's a Merrythought which is a very, very good name. -Is it? -Yeah. -£48. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:38 | |
One of the eyes looks a bit funny. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
Can you see that? One has got black inside and the other one hasn't. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:45 | |
-No. -No. -Do you think anyone would notice? Yeah, they would. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
-Whose stall is this, please? -Who owns the monkey? -They're not here and we're going to run out of time. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:58 | |
Shall we leave it then and go and get that other thing cos we're running out of time? | 0:19:58 | 0:20:04 | |
-Do you want to? -Let's get... What's it called? The gavel. -Gavel. -Gavel. -Gavel. -The gavel. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:11 | |
Where have we got to go? I feel like Anneka Rice! | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
-It's the next one. -I've got a stitch. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
You want to get to the gym more often! | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
This one up here, look. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
You're good at running, aren't you? | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
I'm exhausted. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
Have you got the gavel, please? | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
Oh, there we go. There it is, look. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
-Are you sure you want to go for this? -Yes. Can I just say... What's the lowest price? | 0:20:37 | 0:20:43 | |
< 50 as you're running out of time. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
25? | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
35 now. 20. 35? It's going up! > | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
You're going down. £30. £30, yeah, go on then. > | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
-Are you sure? -Yeah. -It's a gamble. -We know. -We'll take the gamble. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
-We'll take it. -OK, OK. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
And if not, we'll have to look for a cupboard with only three handles. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:06 | |
The hammer's gone down. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
That's it then. Time's up! | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
'Let's remind ourselves what our teams bought | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
'and find out how much cash will be left for their experts' bonus buy.' | 0:21:15 | 0:21:20 | |
After some deliberation Kate paid £60 for the walking stick. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:26 | |
The gentleman's razor strop was sliced down to £40. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
And £30 was paid for the ivory gavel. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
Or could it be an 'andle? | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
Now £130 you spent. That's £170 of leftover lolly | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
-which goes straight to Catherine. -Thank you. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
-This is your favourite moment. -Absolutely. These two have been a joy, so I think they'll be happy. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:52 | |
Have a fab time doing that. Let's check out what the Blues bought. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
Will the Blues see a profit on this stereoscope, bought for £75? | 0:21:57 | 0:22:02 | |
Valerie drove the travelling inkwell down to £50. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
And Terry negotiated the cigarette box with the silver screen logo | 0:22:09 | 0:22:14 | |
down to £20! | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
-How much did you spend, Val? -We spent... What was it? -£145. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
-£145? On all three items? -Yes. -Good Lord. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
That'll be £155 of leftover lolly. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
-Who's got it? -Not me! I'm never allowed the money. -Quite right. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:34 | |
-Are they a great team? -They were absolutely wonderful. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
-We finished in jig time! -That's good. You can have a cup of tea, | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
but you've got to take £155 and go and find a Bonus Buy. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
-I've got a couple of things in mind. -Isn't it fantastic? Weather's grand, thousands of people... | 0:22:46 | 0:22:52 | |
Good luck, Anita! | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
But I've got to whizz up to London to Chiswick, but not to have a look at the flyover. | 0:22:54 | 0:23:00 | |
Chiswick House in West London was built 300 years ago | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
by the 3rd Earl of Burlington, but this was not his home. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:11 | |
It was built to showcase his art collection and as a venue to entertain his friends. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:17 | |
Of course, any person of any quality would have entered the villa at Chiswick from the first floor | 0:23:20 | 0:23:28 | |
because this is, essentially, the piano nobile - this is the noble floor. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:35 | |
So the quality came in via that elaborate front staircase | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
into this, the central hall. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
And if we go up to this elaborately decorated dome | 0:23:41 | 0:23:46 | |
it is built in tribute to those early Roman buildings. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:51 | |
One of the really nice things about this octagonal shape is | 0:23:51 | 0:23:56 | |
that you're able to move from one side of the room to the other | 0:23:56 | 0:24:01 | |
and as you do so | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
you can easily view at least three to four pictures. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:07 | |
One of the problems about viewing large paintings along a long corridor is | 0:24:07 | 0:24:13 | |
a) you have to walk a long way to see the pictures, | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
but also the angle at which you are able to view them often, if they're big, | 0:24:17 | 0:24:23 | |
means getting a crick in your neck. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
Not the case with this octagonal shape. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:29 | |
One of my favourites is this. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
It dates from around 1680 and it shows the Judgment of Paris. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:39 | |
And what's happening here is a beauty parade. Paris, wrapped in simply a loin cloth, | 0:24:39 | 0:24:46 | |
holding the golden fruit, | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
is being advised by Mercury to make the choice | 0:24:48 | 0:24:53 | |
between Minerva and Venus as to which is the most beautiful. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:58 | |
And these girls do represent the epitome of beauty | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
at the end of the 17th century. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
Lots of quivering white flesh! | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
We've got Minerva on the right | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
who's giving us a nearly naked posterior view. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:16 | |
She's identified by her helmet lying on the floor. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
She's not got a lot else on. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
And her opponent in the beauty parade is Venus, assisted by a Cupid at her side. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:28 | |
Surprise, surprise. Venus wins the competition. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
The big question is today, | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
of course, which of our teams today over at the auction | 0:25:36 | 0:25:40 | |
are going to win our competition? Let's just hope they keep their kit on! | 0:25:40 | 0:25:45 | |
Well, talking of kit, Anita and Catherine have had enough time | 0:25:47 | 0:25:51 | |
to find their bonus buys, so I'm keen to see what the auctioneer makes of it all. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:57 | |
We strolled down the dreaded A272, round about 20 miles westward, | 0:26:01 | 0:26:06 | |
and we find ourselves at Bellman's sale room with Jonathan Pratt. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:12 | |
-How are you? -Very well, thank you. -We're really chuffed to be here. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:17 | |
Andy and Kate went first off with this walking stick, | 0:26:17 | 0:26:21 | |
-which is kind of clean, isn't it? -Yeah. You go to the country house and there's a stick stand | 0:26:21 | 0:26:28 | |
-and that's quite a nice one. -How much do you think it's worth? | 0:26:28 | 0:26:32 | |
-I think £60-£80. -Brilliant. £60 paid. They're fine with that. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:36 | |
-Next is the strop. -The strop, yes... -Monogrammed. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:41 | |
Well, it's interesting, isn't it? I suppose it's collectable to some, | 0:26:41 | 0:26:46 | |
-but I can't see it being of great practical use. -Lugging that around to India, to South America, | 0:26:46 | 0:26:53 | |
so that you can hone your razor is quite an extravagance. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:58 | |
-There's a razor strop mushroom. -Really? | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
It's a fungus and they used it to sharpen their blades on. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
-You're a mine of information! -It's rubbish. -No, very interesting, | 0:27:05 | 0:27:10 | |
but what's your estimate on this strop? | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
-£30-£50. -£40 they paid. -OK. -So they might make their money back. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:18 | |
Lastly, is this little fellow, who looks like one of your stroppy mushrooms | 0:27:18 | 0:27:25 | |
-but is supposed to be a gavel. -That's artistic licence. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:29 | |
-I think it's just a lump of ivory! -It's not very well-proportioned. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:34 | |
I wouldn't want to use it. THAT is an ivory gavel. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:38 | |
-That's a pukka job. -Exactly. -So put that next door to that. Look at the colour. -Exactly. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:44 | |
That lovely yellow colour and this anaemic, wishy-washy miserable little wart of a thing! | 0:27:44 | 0:27:50 | |
-That's beautifully turned. Is that something you carry? -No, we're selling it this afternoon. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:57 | |
-What's your estimate on it? -£100-£150. -And on this runt? | 0:27:57 | 0:28:02 | |
-£20-£30. -Perfectly sound response, that. £30 they paid. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:06 | |
They'll need their Bonus Buy. Let's have a look at it. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:11 | |
Now you spent, guys, £130. You gave Catherine £170. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:16 | |
-What did you spend it on? -Oh! -Now... | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
Thinking along the ivory theme, as we were, I have brought you some dressing table bottles. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:26 | |
Silver top with a little ivory. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
-What do you think? -They don't look terribly clean! | 0:28:29 | 0:28:33 | |
-Oh, you're so fussy! -I thought that. They look a little... | 0:28:33 | 0:28:37 | |
-Don't worry. -Grubby? -Yeah, grubby. -That doesn't matter at all. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:41 | |
-What I like about them... -They've got a hallmark. Oh, sorry. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:46 | |
No, they have, you're right. Each one is hallmarked. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:50 | |
These two are 1906. That one may be slightly later. All are Birmingham. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:55 | |
-Big question - how much? -Well, I paid £58. -Oh! Yeah... | 0:28:55 | 0:29:00 | |
Let's just hope it makes a profit, then I'll be happy. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:04 | |
Anyway, you pick after the sale of your first three items, but let's find out if the auctioneer | 0:29:04 | 0:29:11 | |
is going to be happy. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:13 | |
-Now Catherine had £170 to spend on a Bonus Buy. -Really? | 0:29:13 | 0:29:18 | |
-Yes. And decided to invest £58 in these. -Oh, OK. -A good move? | 0:29:18 | 0:29:23 | |
-That's just below my top estimate. I've got £40-£60. -And you could be struggling at £20 for these. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:30 | |
-They want the rest of the case! -Well, they do sell for the dressing table, | 0:29:30 | 0:29:36 | |
-but normally with enamel tops. -Yeah. -Something like that. These are a bit plain, with ivory. | 0:29:36 | 0:29:43 | |
Personally, I think if we come away with £35-£40, it's job done, really. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:48 | |
I slightly hope that the team don't take this Bonus Buy, but don't tell anybody! | 0:29:48 | 0:29:54 | |
Right. Good. That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:58 | |
Valerie and Terry. Their first item is this French stereoscopic viewer. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:03 | |
These are very collectable. People do like them, but they need cards. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:08 | |
The cards are what people go for. Those interesting subjects. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:12 | |
If you've got the cards at home and want a nice viewer, there's a coming together. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:19 | |
We just don't have them here. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
-But it's not a bad example. -No, I quite agree with you. And the glasses are present and correct. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:28 | |
Without any cards, what is somebody going to pay? | 0:30:28 | 0:30:32 | |
-My reckoning is £30-£40. -I think so. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:34 | |
I would say zut alors! | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
-£75 they paid. -Yeah... -Bit of a bad price. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:40 | |
-Next up is the wee inkwell. -Mm-hm. -Travelling inkwell. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:45 | |
-Terribly clapped-out. -Again I don't think... -You don't like it that much. -No. | 0:30:45 | 0:30:51 | |
-But I've been in their situation... -And you get pushed on. -Exactly. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:56 | |
-How much? -Rather scathingly, I've stuck £10-£15 on it. | 0:30:56 | 0:31:00 | |
-£50 paid. -£50 paid. | 0:31:00 | 0:31:02 | |
Last up is this little fag box. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:05 | |
I mean, cigarettes are not very fashionable any more. I always look at them | 0:31:05 | 0:31:11 | |
and think we'll be calling them collar stud boxes or something. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:16 | |
It's not particularly decorative and it's personalised as well, | 0:31:16 | 0:31:21 | |
but it is for the Rank Organisation and I quite liked it because I remember watching Sunday films | 0:31:21 | 0:31:27 | |
and you'd got this chap here smacking the gong. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:31 | |
-Big bloke. -His name is Bombardier Billy Wells. -Get away! -That's him. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:36 | |
-He was a boxer. -And he had this physique that J Arthur Rank thought, "This is the boy for me. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:43 | |
"He's going to do the big gong bang at the beginning of my movies." | 0:31:43 | 0:31:47 | |
-Immortalised. -Yes. So, after all that flim flam, what's it worth? | 0:31:47 | 0:31:52 | |
-I've put £20-£30 on it. -They only paid £20, so they may claw something back, | 0:31:52 | 0:31:57 | |
but the other two look dodgy so they're likely to need their Bonus Buy. | 0:31:57 | 0:32:03 | |
-Now, Val and Tel, you spent £145, right? -That's right. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:07 | |
You gave Anita Manning, the genius, £155 to go and blow on something. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:12 | |
It's so heavy, I'm going to hold it and Anita will remove the rag... | 0:32:12 | 0:32:16 | |
-Oh, my! -Well... LAUGHTER | 0:32:16 | 0:32:20 | |
-Is that not one of the most hideous things you've seen this year? -I wouldn't say that. -You said it! | 0:32:21 | 0:32:27 | |
-No, no... -I was drawn to this thing which was lying on its side amid tons of rubbish. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:34 | |
-Although it looks a wee bit tatty... -A wee bit tatty?! -..and in need of some love and attention. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:41 | |
-Some?! -And some restoration. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:44 | |
-Lots of restoration! -Other than that...(!) -It is, in fact, quite a beautiful object. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:51 | |
-What is it? -That's it! | 0:32:51 | 0:32:54 | |
Take the lid off, love. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:56 | |
-It is a coal box, so we have a liner here. -Particularly attractive(!) | 0:32:56 | 0:33:03 | |
There's no spiders and beasties. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:06 | |
You say it can be cleaned up. What's it actually made of? | 0:33:06 | 0:33:10 | |
It's made of copper. And we have this wonderful Art Nouveau motif | 0:33:10 | 0:33:17 | |
with these stylised organic flowers and these little medieval studs. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:24 | |
It's maybe about 1900, 1910. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:28 | |
How much did you pay... | 0:33:28 | 0:33:30 | |
-..above £30? -I paid £30. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:34 | |
-Really? -Yes, £30. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:38 | |
-Look at his face. -Now I have described it in glowing terms, | 0:33:38 | 0:33:42 | |
but...this could either fly or it could get a pound. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:48 | |
Your moment comes after the sale of the first three items. Then you pick this or not. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:54 | |
Let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's little box. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:59 | |
So, Jonathan, here we go. A little bit of a barn discovery. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:05 | |
When I was cataloguing this lot, I thought, "This looks like something Anita would buy," | 0:34:05 | 0:34:11 | |
because she's from Scotland and I saw this as almost Rennie Mackintosh inspired. Sort of Arts and Crafts. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:18 | |
Just don't polish it up! But that's the point, isn't it? | 0:34:18 | 0:34:22 | |
If you do have brass or copper that's had half a century in the wet, it looks like this. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:28 | |
-For some people, it's attractive. What is your most ambitious estimate? -£60-£80. | 0:34:28 | 0:34:34 | |
-That's brilliant. Anita only paid £30. -Very good. -She will be so chuffed. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:40 | |
-I may be wrong! But I like it. -You're not usually wrong. -No. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:44 | |
Well, we'll find out in a minute. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:47 | |
-How excited are you about this? -Well excited! -Are you? -Can't wait. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:01 | |
How do you rate your chances? Going to make a smashing profit? | 0:35:01 | 0:35:05 | |
Do you know what? Catherine's been brilliant and I think - hope - we'll get a profit. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:11 | |
-We've got some good stuff. -You with her on this? -Minimal loss if nothing else! | 0:35:11 | 0:35:17 | |
First up is your walking stick. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:20 | |
A 19th-century ebony walking cane with ivory pommel. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:24 | |
Somebody start me at £20? £20? | 0:35:24 | 0:35:28 | |
Any interest at £20? 10, then. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:31 | |
Is bid. At 10. I'll take 12. | 0:35:31 | 0:35:34 | |
10 it is, then. 12, anywhere? | 0:35:34 | 0:35:36 | |
A maiden bid of £10. Surely worth more. 12, there we go. 15. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:42 | |
Warming up now. 18. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:46 | |
£18, seated right there. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
-20 anywhere else? -I can't believe it. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:51 | |
I'll sell at £18. It's going. On my right at £18. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:55 | |
-That's minus £42. -I can't believe that. | 0:35:56 | 0:36:00 | |
-That was a nice thing. -Yeah. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:02 | |
-Minus £42. -That's your fault! | 0:36:02 | 0:36:06 | |
A Victorian leather and ivory gentleman's razor strop. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:11 | |
I'm going to get in a strop. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:14 | |
Someone start me again. £30 to start me for this? £30? | 0:36:14 | 0:36:19 | |
20, then. If you must, £10. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
Away at 10 at the front here. 12. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:25 | |
Looking for 15 now. £12 in the fourth row. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
-I can't believe this! -It's not looking pretty, this. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:33 | |
-Going to go at £12. -Not even a close shave. £12. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:37 | |
-That's minus £28. -Really depressing. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:40 | |
You're £70 down. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:42 | |
-Can't be! -I really thought we'd do all right. -It's your last item. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:47 | |
Lot 1703A - an ivory small gavel. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:52 | |
I've got interest to start me at 20, 30, | 0:36:52 | 0:36:57 | |
£40 to start. | 0:36:57 | 0:37:00 | |
With me at 40. 5 anywhere? | 0:37:00 | 0:37:03 | |
On the book at 40. One more might do it. And 5. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:08 | |
This is the thing, though. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:10 | |
-Against you, then, at 50. -£50! Look at it go! | 0:37:10 | 0:37:14 | |
-£50. -Yes, you've done it. Well done! | 0:37:14 | 0:37:18 | |
Plus £20 on that. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:20 | |
40, 50, 60, 70... You're 50. Minus 50. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:23 | |
-50. -That's not too bad, is it? What about these dressing table bottles? -Go for it! | 0:37:23 | 0:37:29 | |
-Pardon? -We've got to go for that. -Are you sure? Quickly! -Yeah! | 0:37:29 | 0:37:34 | |
Just do it! | 0:37:34 | 0:37:36 | |
All right. Going hell for leather. The decision is made. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:40 | |
I've got three dressing table bottles. Someone start me at £40 for these. Three bottles. | 0:37:40 | 0:37:48 | |
20, then. Surely worth £20. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:52 | |
There we go. Thank you, sir. I'll take 2. Yours, sir, at 20. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:57 | |
-Any other interest at 22? How much? -58. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:00 | |
£25, gentleman there. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:02 | |
Any further bidding? £25 and selling. All done. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:05 | |
That is minus £33. Overall, you are minus £83. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:10 | |
Could be a winning score. Don't say a word to the Blues. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:15 | |
-Go out walking tall and strutting your stuff. -We will. | 0:38:15 | 0:38:20 | |
Next up, the Blue team. | 0:38:29 | 0:38:31 | |
-So, Val and Tel, have you been chatting to the Reds? -No. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:36 | |
-You've no idea? -None at all. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:38 | |
-Feeling nervous? -No, I'm not. I'm quite comfortable, actually. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:43 | |
-You never know. -Fingers crossed. -You've watched this before. You know what can happen. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:49 | |
Your first lot is coming up. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:52 | |
-A 19th-century French stereoscopic viewer. -Oh, yes. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:56 | |
Interest in this lot | 0:38:56 | 0:38:59 | |
to start me at 35, 45... | 0:38:59 | 0:39:04 | |
£50. I'll start at £50. I'll take 5. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:07 | |
55. And 60. 65. And 70. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:11 | |
75. And 80. £85. Clears the commissions. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:16 | |
At £85 and selling. All done at £85? | 0:39:16 | 0:39:20 | |
ALL: Yes! | 0:39:20 | 0:39:22 | |
That is...plus £10. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:26 | |
Plus £10. You could knock me out with that! | 0:39:26 | 0:39:30 | |
Your second item is the inkwell. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:32 | |
An early 20th-century inkwell. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:36 | |
Tenner I'm bid. I'll take 12. 12. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:39 | |
There we go. | 0:39:39 | 0:39:40 | |
15 at the back. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:43 | |
15 at the back. At 15. £15. Anything more than £15? | 0:39:43 | 0:39:47 | |
I'll sell it at 15. All done? Last chance. Going...at £15. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:52 | |
That is minus £35. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:55 | |
Minus 35. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:58 | |
-That is not so hot. -Not so hot! -Not hot at all, actually. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:02 | |
15?! | 0:40:02 | 0:40:03 | |
Next up is the silver box. Here it comes. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:07 | |
A silver rectangular box. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:10 | |
Someone start me at £10. It's bid. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:12 | |
At 10. 12. 15. 18. 20. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:16 | |
2. Shaking of her head there. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:18 | |
£22 at the back. At £22. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:21 | |
5 anywhere else? 25, new face. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
-Still going! -Yes! | 0:40:23 | 0:40:27 | |
-Do you want to go 32? -Yes! -No, she doesn't. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:30 | |
£30, seated. 32 anywhere else? Gentleman's bid at £30. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:35 | |
It's selling. £30. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:38 | |
Plus 10. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:40 | |
That's wonderful. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:42 | |
-That is minus £15. -Very good! -What are you going to do about that clapped-out coal box? | 0:40:42 | 0:40:48 | |
-Go for it. -Be very careful. -No, no, no. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:52 | |
-£30? -I've got confidence. -In for a penny. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:56 | |
We're going with the Bonus Buy. The die is cast. | 0:40:56 | 0:40:59 | |
A copper coal box. Art Nouveau design. Late 19th century. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:03 | |
Someone start me at £40. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:05 | |
20, then. Surely worth £20. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:09 | |
No? £10, then. Who'll give me 10? | 0:41:09 | 0:41:12 | |
On the right at 10. 12 anywhere? 15 anyone? It's a tenner! 15. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:18 | |
20? Thinking about it. Go on. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:20 | |
£20. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:22 | |
-25. -Get up! | 0:41:22 | 0:41:25 | |
Any further bids at £25? All done? | 0:41:25 | 0:41:28 | |
-Going at £25. -Oh, dear. That's another minus £5. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:32 | |
-You are minus £20 overall. -Oh, no. -That's not too bad. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:37 | |
-Never mind. -The big thing is don't say a word to the Reds. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:41 | |
-Have you been chatting? -No! No! | 0:41:49 | 0:41:52 | |
Cos you've got on terribly well. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:55 | |
Haven't you? Both teams bonded nicely, but it's a competition. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:59 | |
And it's no secret to either team that they made stonking losses! | 0:41:59 | 0:42:03 | |
See what I mean? And the team that has made the largest loss today is the Red team. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:13 | |
Yay(!) | 0:42:13 | 0:42:15 | |
Minus £83 is a...good number. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:22 | |
And you have done this with some style. And I hope you have enjoyed yourselves. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:29 | |
Do you know, it's been absolutely brilliant. We thoroughly enjoyed it. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:33 | |
Really good it's been. Thank you. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:36 | |
Thank you for joining us. But the victors today | 0:42:36 | 0:42:40 | |
by only managing to lose £20... | 0:42:40 | 0:42:42 | |
are Valerie and Terry. Well done. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:46 | |
-Had a good time, too? -Brilliant. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:50 | |
Join us soon for some more bargain hunting! | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
