0:00:02 > 0:00:03Oi, wake up, you lot.

0:00:03 > 0:00:09I've got the time, I've got the money, I've got the contestants, I just haven't got the bargains yet.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11So let's go bargain hunting, eh?

0:00:34 > 0:00:38Welcome to the Jaguar Antiques Fair at Weatherfield Race Course.

0:00:38 > 0:00:43So let's saddle up, adjust the jodhpurs, enjoy the ride,

0:00:43 > 0:00:46because here's a flavour of what's coming up.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49It's Ladies Day today.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53In red, mates Nicola and Lauren can't see the wood for the trees.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55How much is that? I like that.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57I like that thing, I like that, and I like these.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00You two have got to choose something.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03In blue, sisters in law Emma and Claire

0:01:03 > 0:01:06give their expert the runaround.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Wait for me.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Crikey, I didn't realise you were so quick.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14And nothing's ever predictable at the auctions.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18- Oh, no.- I told you, I told you!

0:01:18 > 0:01:21So, if that's got you going, let's meet them, proper like.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25Now you two are a couple of fitties, it says here.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Well, you certainly look good and fit to me.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32Why would you describe yourself as a fittie, then?

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Oh, I do quite a bit of outdoor activities, me and my boyfriend.

0:01:35 > 0:01:40- Oh.- Canoeing, we've tried surfing, we do a lot of cycling,

0:01:40 > 0:01:42abseiling, climbing, things like that.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45It says pole dancing... Oh, no, line dancing.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47- That would be Nicki.- That's me.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Yeehaw!, isn't it, and all that kind of stuff?

0:01:49 > 0:01:52- We don't do a lot of yeehaw-ing, no. - Oh, don't you?- No.

0:01:52 > 0:01:57- How did you two girls meet?- We worked in a shop together, didn't we?

0:01:57 > 0:02:02Yes. It was kind of a mutual dislike of the job that we were working in that brought us together.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04- You hated the job?- We did, yes.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07We bonded over that, didn't we?

0:02:07 > 0:02:12- Lauren, what do you do now?- I'm doing a Masters degree in Historical Studies at the University of Hull.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16It's supposed to be based on the English Civil War, but I also do a little bit of

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Latin and palaeography, which is the study of old handwriting.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Gosh that's quite a package. - It keeps me very busy.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26I bet it does, because really that's three subjects wrapped into one.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29How lovely. What about you, Nicola, what are you up to?

0:02:29 > 0:02:32I'm currently working as a teaching assistant

0:02:32 > 0:02:35in a school for special educational needs children.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38It's fantastic, I really enjoy myself. It's good fun.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40- And quite a challenge too, I guess. - Yes, it is.

0:02:40 > 0:02:47Some days are quite hard, it is quite difficult, and it can be quite exhausting, but it's well worth it.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51Are you going to be any good on Bargain Hunt today, do you think?

0:02:51 > 0:02:54- I should think so.- Yes. - Yes?- We've got a lot in common.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56- We tend to agree on things. - Yes, we do.

0:02:56 > 0:03:01Because most of our contestants fall out immediately.

0:03:01 > 0:03:02Anyway, good luck.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Now the Blues, who are mates and sisters in law.- Yes.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07- You get on well together.- Very well.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09So what do you get up to? Do you go shopping?

0:03:09 > 0:03:15- We're big shoppers.- Oh, yes, big bargain hunters, but we keep the bargains, we don't resell them.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16Well, that's fair enough?

0:03:16 > 0:03:19So, Emma, have you got a good eye for a bargain, do you reckon?

0:03:19 > 0:03:26Erm... I know what I like and that's not necessarily the same, so I do my best.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30Yes. You're a bit of a fan of the old painting or two, aren't you?

0:03:30 > 0:03:37Yes. I do have a secret passion for paintings by Yorkshire artists, particularly the Staithes School.

0:03:37 > 0:03:42Yes. Now tell us about this Staithes School because it rivals the Newlyn School, doesn't it?

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Yes, they were contemporaries of the Newlyn School.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49They're rather expensive now, but I can still pick up a few at auction.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52But I don't want to come over as some expert because I'm not.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Yes. This is the modesty of the woman, marvellous, isn't it?

0:03:55 > 0:03:59- Now, Claire, you're a close family, aren't you?- Yes, we are, very close.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01And you're a partner in the business?

0:04:01 > 0:04:06Yes, I am. There's a complex and there are quite a few little businesses on site.

0:04:06 > 0:04:11I have four children and each child has a business, which they run themselves and are independent.

0:04:11 > 0:04:16- And which bit do you run, Claire? - Well, I work in the nursery, my husband's a rose grower nurseryman

0:04:16 > 0:04:19and I work in the nursery, plus I have a little card business on site.

0:04:19 > 0:04:24Lovely. Now, the money moment, here we go £300 apiece. Yes, £300, are you ready for this?

0:04:24 > 0:04:25- Yes.- There's your £300. - Thank you.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29£300. You know the rules, your expert awaits, and off you go!

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Very, very, very good luck.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Aren't they gorgeous?

0:04:35 > 0:04:41So, they'll need a handsome expert. It's youth versus experience today.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45The young Philip Serrell is advising the Reds,

0:04:45 > 0:04:49and the old boy, Charles Hanson, is with the Blues.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52- After you.- OK.- Ready to go?- Yep.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54So, girls, you've got a plan?

0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Erm...- Erm?- Yeah, I think we're going to go for something practical.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01- Quality.- Quality, yes, and something a bit quirky.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Something nice.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05- You've got the wrong bloke.- Ah.

0:05:05 > 0:05:10Well, I think you're nice, Philip. But what you all need is bargains!

0:05:10 > 0:05:13So while they get their bearings, a quick reminder of the rules.

0:05:13 > 0:05:20Each team get an hour to buy three objects with £300, but then you know that already, right?

0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Right.- Right!

0:05:22 > 0:05:25How much is the nut, please, sir?

0:05:25 > 0:05:27I don't want to know if it's damaged.

0:05:27 > 0:05:32- It is damaged. You're looking at problems on it.- What's it for?

0:05:32 > 0:05:35These are 19th century, it's coquilla nut, which is

0:05:35 > 0:05:39a Brazilian nut, and it's carved.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Sometimes these were used for putting thimbles in, sometimes

0:05:42 > 0:05:46- pomander or whatever. I think that's quite nice, do you? - Even though it's damaged?

0:05:46 > 0:05:50The thing is, anything that's turned on a lathe, anything that's circular,

0:05:50 > 0:05:56as it dries out you're going to get a split in it because as it shrinks, it shrinks at different rates...

0:05:56 > 0:05:59now you're laughing at me now. I don't like it when people laugh at me.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02- She is, she's laughing at me. - I'm not sure about it.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Yes, just the fact that it is slightly a bit damaged.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Meany.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Look at the rich gilding.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Yes, but it's £150.

0:06:14 > 0:06:171880s, Persian influence.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19- Too much, no, no.- I love it.

0:06:19 > 0:06:20But they don't.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22I think we're better inside.

0:06:22 > 0:06:23- Yeah.- Inside?- OK, fair enough.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Let's go in then.- There's some very elegant items here.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28They're not listening.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29Sophisticated, yes?

0:06:29 > 0:06:32- And this is a teething ring is it, my dear?- Oh, is that what it is?

0:06:32 > 0:06:34- You've got a cricket bat. - Is it a hammer?

0:06:34 > 0:06:38You've got a fork, a pair of scissors, and a pair of pliers.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42Good thing for a small child, he can put an axe in his mouth.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45- I like Moorcroft. - Moorcroft, it's so boring.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48No, I don't think I'd want to pay 150 for that.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52- It's an unusual thing, heavy as well.- Yes, but still.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56I quite like it, but I wonder how old it is.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00I would have thought it's probably more 1880 in date.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Not a bad price at £85, what's it worth in a good auction house?

0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Think of Harrogate, girl.- 30 to 50.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Right. Yeah?- It is, it is!

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I would say it's a good thing, I would say we're not far off.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15I would see it making between £60 and £90.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18- If you don't like it, we'll move on.- No.- No?

0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Not 60 to 90. - What do you think, Claire?

0:07:20 > 0:07:21Claire doesn't like it.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24It's not my sort of thing, I have to say.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27Cor, the redhead's quite fiery.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33- How much is your caddie?- 450.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37- That's shot us straight in the foot. - That's right out of budget.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Right, OK.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42- 40 minutes to go.- No, more.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Right, 45 minutes. We're OK.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48You say that, Charles, there's been lots of looking and no buying.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Come on, buck up!

0:07:50 > 0:07:53- It's got something about it. - So how much is that, please?

0:07:53 > 0:07:55- £50 is the best. - What do you think, girls?

0:07:55 > 0:07:57- I think that's a little bit dear.- You do?

0:07:57 > 0:08:00I do like it though, I think it's quite pretty.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02- We can bear it in mind. - I like that.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06Gorgeous. Look at this nice miniature. Tell me about it, what do you think of it?

0:08:06 > 0:08:10I think it's lovely. I don't know what it's painted on, it's not ivory, it's not bone.

0:08:10 > 0:08:11I think it's a mezzotint maybe.

0:08:11 > 0:08:16- I think maybe it's a hand-tinted little mezzotint. - Could be, but we don't know.

0:08:16 > 0:08:21You've got a lovely lady, elegant, sophisticated like yourself, Emma.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Really.- Well, if you saw her without looking, what's it worth?

0:08:24 > 0:08:25- What would I pay for that?- Yes.- 90.

0:08:25 > 0:08:29- I was going to say 95 anyway, so you were close.- There you go, it's £95.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32But to make a profit, we need to buy it at 60.

0:08:32 > 0:08:37- I think it's hand tinted.- I don't do half price even for my mother.

0:08:37 > 0:08:38Emma's not that old.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42- That one is the best by a country mile, right?- Yes.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Because it's shaped, it's engraved. - Yes, it is, it's quite nice that.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47At last somebody likes something.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Does it matter if it has initials?

0:08:49 > 0:08:52I don't think it makes much difference. You don't like these?

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Well, let's discount those anyway. You've got 48, can you do it for...

0:08:55 > 0:08:5738.

0:08:57 > 0:08:5835 any good?

0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Do you like that one? - I really like it.- I do.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07I think at auction, that's probably £30 to £40 worth.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10OK, so you run the risk of losing a bit of money.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12But if it's already 38.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14- It's up to you. - I'm put off my the initials.

0:09:14 > 0:09:19Ah, but sometimes in this game you do have to take a risk.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Well, it's priced at 215 and we've got to speculate to accumulate, right?

0:09:22 > 0:09:24What else can we buy with that?

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Three bags of crisps and a cup of coffee.

0:09:26 > 0:09:27Poor old Charles.

0:09:27 > 0:09:32No, Charles. Please, no, I'm going to cry.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Copper plates, these have been out of some,

0:09:35 > 0:09:37presumably, book illustrations?

0:09:37 > 0:09:39I would say so, yes.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42- They're not copper, are they? - They're wood.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45They're going to date to about 1900, are they?

0:09:45 > 0:09:47I would say so. Look at the seal.

0:09:47 > 0:09:53- The print that was made from these would probably cost more than this has cost.- Than the actual.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Yes.- Which is a nonsense, isn't it?

0:09:55 > 0:09:58- It's proper craftsmanship though, isn't it?- Yes.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Yes, it's beautifully done.- There's a lot of work gone into that.- Yes.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04- £8.50.- And how much is that one?

0:10:04 > 0:10:07- That one I think... Oh, it's fallen off.- It's free.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Yaay!- It's free, it's free.

0:10:09 > 0:10:10- Excellent.- Today.

0:10:10 > 0:10:15- Any other day would be a tenner on that.- Right. Shall we buy two?

0:10:15 > 0:10:19Yes, I think so. So we'd have two as one item, you mean?

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Yes. So did you say two for 10?

0:10:21 > 0:10:23- Two for 15, I said.- Did you hear him?

0:10:23 > 0:10:26- What do you think he said? - I'm sure he said two for 10, yes.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28How can you turn down pretty girls like that?

0:10:28 > 0:10:3112 did you say? Was that 12? Go on.

0:10:31 > 0:10:3312, go on.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35You're a gentleman.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38At last, one in the bag for Lauren and Nicola.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Have you got two the same size?

0:10:40 > 0:10:43May we handle this, do you mind? Thanks. Look at that.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45- I like it.- I do. - Emma, we're agreeing.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48You and all, so thrilled.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50It's in the Art Deco style.

0:10:50 > 0:10:55Yes, it would look nice in a cloakroom, but it's got to come down in price.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57- It's lovely quality, it's interesting.- Is it 50?

0:10:57 > 0:11:01- It's 55.- 30? No.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Take it, feel the money.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08- This man is being very fair giving you £20 off.- OK.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Well, we like it. Yes, we like that.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15Wow, decisive. Emma slashes the price,

0:11:15 > 0:11:20Claire nips in with the cash, could this be a winning strategy?

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Have you got a sense of humour?

0:11:25 > 0:11:28- Interesting. - No, it's a sample, look.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30It's a sample bog.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32A sample porcelain toilet.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Yes, and it's £145.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37For a sample porcelain toilet.

0:11:37 > 0:11:42£145, but look at it. It's all stamped up round here.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44- It's a toilet.- Doulton.

0:11:44 > 0:11:45It's a toilet.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48- You're being horrible to me. - Put it down and walk away.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50OK, fine. I think I've got the hint.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53Another idea down the pan?

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Instead, take a look at this.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Isn't that sweet?

0:11:59 > 0:12:02Have you ever seen such a little one?

0:12:02 > 0:12:07Actually, look carefully, it's something that's most beautifully made.

0:12:07 > 0:12:12Look up that back spine and you can see two slivers of gold,

0:12:12 > 0:12:20sitting on top of the gold is tortoiseshell, and then we've got three studs on either side.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24They're the rivets that hold the tortoiseshell to the gold case.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26I open it up,

0:12:26 > 0:12:34the greatest miracle of all is that the small, extremely sharp, steel blade is in perfect condition,

0:12:34 > 0:12:41because this wafer thin piece of steel could break incredibly easily but it hasn't.

0:12:41 > 0:12:48This wee knife was probably made round about 1820 to 1850, and a little knife like

0:12:48 > 0:12:52this would have been used to sharpen up your quill pen.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54What's it worth? Well, these things are desirable.

0:12:54 > 0:12:59They're desirable to collectors, particularly in Sheffield.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02Over the centuries, of course, Sheffield made some

0:13:02 > 0:13:08special knives, including penknives, and not surprisingly these things were bought and sold avidly.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11What's this one worth? Well, in one of those specialist sales

0:13:11 > 0:13:18I'd estimate perhaps £100 to £125, and what might it cost you in a fair here in Yorkshire?

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Well, £25 actually.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Go on, sharpen up your pencil.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32Straight to the point then, flying solo are the Blues.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35What do you suppose they've done with Charles?

0:13:35 > 0:13:39Could we have a look at the gold

0:13:39 > 0:13:42brooch with the seed pearls round it?

0:13:42 > 0:13:45- What do you know about that? - It's Victorian.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47- £75 on that one.- Nice, isn't it?

0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Yes.- It's got love hearts round it.

0:13:49 > 0:13:55- Oh, yes.- That's pretty, but I think we'd have to get it for 40.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57I think we should offer 50, 45 is too low.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59No! Start low and then you move up.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01You can't move down once you've offered something.

0:14:01 > 0:14:07I think it's too much of a drastic drop because she already said 75 is what she would take.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09So I think 50 and just say that's it.

0:14:09 > 0:14:13Well, get your notes out, Claire, and put the money in her hand.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Well, that's told her, and they're friends.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18- There's money out here. - Yes.- How are you getting on?

0:14:18 > 0:14:20We're going to make an offer and see what the lady says.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Look, it's got hearts round the edge, it's unusual.

0:14:22 > 0:14:249 carat gold.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27Seed pearl, what 1890 in date, 1900?

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Very nice. What's it worth?

0:14:29 > 0:14:3150 - 80.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34I like it, OK. Well, you do what you can do.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37They will anyway, Charles.

0:14:37 > 0:14:43Excuse me? I've got £50 in my hand here, will you take that?

0:14:43 > 0:14:45- OK then.- Thank you very much.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Crikey, that was easy.- It's because you've got the money in the hand.

0:14:49 > 0:14:55Clever tactic. So that's two for the Blues and only one for the Reds with 15 minutes left.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58- I'm not keen on pots. - Right, that's that sorted.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01I'm trying to work out what we do like here.

0:15:01 > 0:15:02We want a nice little piece of silver.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04- You want a piece of silver? - Yes.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07- I also like wooden boxes. - Wooden boxes and silver.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09I like writing desks, tea caddies, that kind of thing.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11We want something big, bold.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Is it an inkstand? - That's neither big nor bold.

0:15:14 > 0:15:15Nuh-huh.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19Isn't he nice, a little inkstand, he's quite nice you know.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Charles, you said speculate to accumulate.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24- Quite right.- You're not going to accumulate with that, are you?

0:15:25 > 0:15:27'Lift going up.'

0:15:27 > 0:15:32Well, we'd get something bigger outside, wouldn't we? Come on, quick, quick.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35We're going to get stuck in here and we're never seen again.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38Wait for me.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Crikey, I didn't realise you were so quick.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42The youth of today.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45That's rickety, isn't it?

0:15:45 > 0:15:47That looks like something we'd keep in our garage.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49- Big and bold. - Big, bold, that little car.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53- I wonder how much it is. 525.- Ooh.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57- I just cant get excited about pots. - You don't like pots full stop.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59I do, I do.

0:15:59 > 0:16:03- There are some more stalls in here. - 10 minutes.- Oh... 10 minutes?

0:16:03 > 0:16:05- 10 minutes.- Oh, please.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07You two can't seem to agree on much, can you?

0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Usually we do.- Is it like this when you go shopping normally?

0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Yeah, we usually agree on everything. - Really?

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Well, 10 minutes, two items, so hurry up and get agreeing.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21Look, we have got to buy something from this room.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23A dragon, I would have said.

0:16:23 > 0:16:24- We have an issue here.- Oops.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26- What's that?- You've got 10 minutes.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Yes.- Two items.- Yes, no problem.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30So that's five minutes an item.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34I just said that. No-one listens to me.

0:16:38 > 0:16:39Do you like that?

0:16:39 > 0:16:41I quite like it actually, yes.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44- It is signed. - It's by Raymond Rushton.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47It's a little piece of Worcester and it was made in about 1937.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49I like the scene, it's really nice.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53The only thing that concerns me is I can't see in this light, is whether it's been restored.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57The thing is it's nice enough anyway.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00This is the deal - £75, it's by Raymond Rushton.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02Do you think it will sell quite well, then?

0:17:02 > 0:17:05The issue is whether it's been restored or not,

0:17:05 > 0:17:08it may just have been done round there although...

0:17:08 > 0:17:10£60 any good?

0:17:10 > 0:17:14- It doesn't look like it has.- £70?

0:17:14 > 0:17:16- OK.- Yes, I quite like that.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18I think we should go for that, yes.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20You buy that.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23- OK.- If it's perfect, right?

0:17:23 > 0:17:29- Yes.- I think we're going to get between £150 and £300 for it, if it's perfect.

0:17:29 > 0:17:30- Now you've said that!- I like it.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33That's what I would get for it.

0:17:33 > 0:17:34How money talks, eh?

0:17:34 > 0:17:36It's big and bold.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38How's that for a statement, hey?

0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Isn't it?- Yes.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43110.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45Is it good condition?

0:17:45 > 0:17:46There you've got Poole Pottery.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50- It's lovely.- How old would this one be, Simon, probably what, 1990s?

0:17:50 > 0:17:52- 1990?- Yes, not very old.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Is that a scratch?

0:17:54 > 0:18:00A small scratch, yes. Very stylish, it's what we are looking at today as being the antique of the future.

0:18:00 > 0:18:01- Hello, hello, hello.- Hello!

0:18:01 > 0:18:04- How are we, all right? - What do you think, Tim?

0:18:04 > 0:18:07Oh, don't ask me about that, that's Poole isn't it?

0:18:07 > 0:18:08Are you not a fan?

0:18:08 > 0:18:13Don't count my personal predilections, a lot of people love Poole, it makes lots of money at

0:18:13 > 0:18:18auction, it's a highly collectible pottery, just not what I'd put my hand in my pocket for.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- But on the other hand, you have only got six minutes left.- Oh, gosh.

0:18:21 > 0:18:25You've got the man here, I mustn't distract you any more. I'm off.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Six minutes!

0:18:27 > 0:18:30- What would the pair be?- I was going to say what are the pair going to be.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Could we have the pair for £100?

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Not a chance.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38- I've got 150 in mind.- For the pair?

0:18:38 > 0:18:40I've got 150 for the pair.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43I've got £150 in my pocket.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Yes.- Yes?

0:18:45 > 0:18:48Done? OK. Thank you.

0:18:48 > 0:18:49Thank you very much.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Poor Charles, sidelined again, eh?

0:18:51 > 0:18:55- Charles doesn't have to be happy. - We don't hang around.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57No, I've noticed.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04You wanted a vesta case and here's the Rolls Royce of vesta cases.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07You've got that little...

0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Extra touch.- Yes.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12It's priced up at £98.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Ouch.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18If that came into my saleroom, I'd estimate it at £40 to £60.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20OK.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22What's the best you can do that for, sir?

0:19:22 > 0:19:2475.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Is that your absolute best price? - Yes.

0:19:26 > 0:19:30- You are gambling there, you've now got...- Is there anything else here that we'd like?

0:19:30 > 0:19:32You've now got three minutes left.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35When he says you've finished, you've finished.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38I know, but... I quite like a lot of these things,

0:19:38 > 0:19:40can we still have a look at what these things are?

0:19:40 > 0:19:43I like that. How much is that? I like that thing there.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Hold your horses, Lauren. I can't keep up.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47You two have got to choose something.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Yes, we've only got two minutes. - Could that not be repaired?

0:19:50 > 0:19:53But that's going to add to the cost.

0:19:53 > 0:19:57Which one do you think we're more likely to make a profit on?

0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Probably that one.- Right, we'll go and buy that one then.- You're sure?

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Ahh, so we've come full circle.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05Remember right back at the beginning?

0:20:05 > 0:20:09I think at auction that's probably £30 to £40 worth. It's up to you.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12I'm put off by the initials.

0:20:12 > 0:20:16- It really doesn't bother you which one you buy?- This one in the case.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18- I think we should go with it. - Which one?

0:20:18 > 0:20:21- I prefer the other one. - You want to buy the other one?

0:20:21 > 0:20:23- I do prefer the other one. - I prefer this one.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Oh, it's a rollercoaster this, isn't it?

0:20:25 > 0:20:26Help.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29I think we should go with this. because of the damage.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32- You've only got a minute. - But that's got initials on it.

0:20:32 > 0:20:33You can get rid of that easily.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36It'll cost less to get rid of initials than it damage.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40- Buy whichever one you want.- OK, we'll go for it. Yes, that's cool.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42- As long as you're happy. - Yes, definitely.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46- I prefer the other one but... - Can we take this?- ..that seems to be the decision.

0:20:46 > 0:20:47I'm glad they always agree.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50- I'd really rather have the other one. - Phew.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Ah well, looks like the shopping's over then.

0:20:53 > 0:21:00It's now over to the experts to sniff out a bonus buy with the leftover lolly,

0:21:00 > 0:21:05but before we find out how much they have to play with here's a quick reminder of what the Reds bought.

0:21:05 > 0:21:11First up, Lauren and Nicola hope to print a mint with the wooden blocks.

0:21:11 > 0:21:17Next, the most expensive item was the £70 Royal Worcester bowl.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21And finally after a bit of toing and froing,

0:21:21 > 0:21:24- £38 was paid for the silver vesta case.

0:21:25 > 0:21:2759 minutes and 59 seconds.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Tense, isn't it?- Yes. - Did you get tense at the end?

0:21:30 > 0:21:33- Very, very tense.- Very, yes.

0:21:33 > 0:21:34And you're close mates, right?

0:21:34 > 0:21:37We used to be.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Aw, it won't be as bad as all of that.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Yes, we are, we are. - So you've spent how much?

0:21:42 > 0:21:46- £120.- I would quite like £180 of leftover lolly please.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Yes, got it for you.- £180.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52Now what I really want to know is which is your favourite piece?

0:21:52 > 0:21:56- Got to be the bowl. - The bowl is your favourite.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58And you, Nic, what's your favourite?

0:21:58 > 0:22:02Probably the same, but I do like the little wooden plaques.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04- The wood plaques, yes. - They're nice as well.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06So we have a consensus.

0:22:06 > 0:22:11You're going to kiss and make up and I'll give you £180, Philip Serrell,

0:22:11 > 0:22:14which is a lot of money for a fellow like you to go and spend.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16- Spend it wisely. - I'm going to find a dark room.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18I bet he only spends a tenner on the bonus buy.

0:22:18 > 0:22:22Anyway, why don't we remind ourselves what the Blues bought?

0:22:22 > 0:22:27Emma and Claire lit up when they saw the Art Deco lightshade.

0:22:27 > 0:22:32Next they took a shine to the Victorian brooch for £50.

0:22:32 > 0:22:36And finally they well and truly splashed out,

0:22:36 > 0:22:39paying 150 smackers for a pair of Poole plates.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44Bargain price, buy one get one free nearly.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48Yes, I'm not surprised. Anyway that's good, that's a decision made.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49Now how much did you spend all round?

0:22:49 > 0:22:55- £235.- £235, I can tell you're a businesswoman, Claire. Lovely.

0:22:55 > 0:22:5765 notes please of leftover lolly.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00- There's some in notes and there's a few in £1 coins.- Right. OK, fine.

0:23:00 > 0:23:05Well, I'll trust you, no need to count all that lot out.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08- No.- Now, Ems, which was your favourite piece, baby?

0:23:08 > 0:23:11The light fitting, unusual, an acquired taste,

0:23:11 > 0:23:13but I think it will sell well.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Yes, quite sparky, right?- I like it.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Yes, that's electricity for you.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Anyway, we know that you love the Poole.- I love the Poole, yes.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22So that's OK, super. The die is cast, Charles.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26- Thank you, Tim.- Here's your moment in your Beatle mania suit.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Thank you very much. - Anyway, there you go, boy.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32You've got £65 on you, don't go buying another suit with it,

0:23:32 > 0:23:35and off you go and very, very, very good luck, girls.

0:23:35 > 0:23:42Now our next mission is to go to Newby Hall where you are going to have a treat beyond compare.

0:23:50 > 0:23:55This stately home in North Yorkshire has a lot to shout about.

0:23:55 > 0:24:01It's simply busting with remarkable and unique treasures,

0:24:01 > 0:24:06including a world-class collection of chamber pots.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10In fact, the collection of chamber pots at Newby Hall

0:24:10 > 0:24:16has to be one of the most extensive and important in Great Britain.

0:24:16 > 0:24:21But why would anybody set out to collect such an obscure subject as chamber pots?

0:24:21 > 0:24:25Well, actually they can be most amusing objects.

0:24:25 > 0:24:29If we take this one from the collection, at first sight

0:24:29 > 0:24:36this is the most boring gazunder, jerry, po, peepee pot

0:24:36 > 0:24:39that you have ever seen, completely plain,

0:24:39 > 0:24:42made in Staffordshire by the million,

0:24:42 > 0:24:47but if I turn it towards you, you see that it's got a transfer print.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51No ordinary geezer this, this is W. E. Gladstone,

0:24:51 > 0:24:54oft Prime Minister of Britain,

0:24:54 > 0:24:58and for every person who loved Gladstone there would be

0:24:58 > 0:25:02another who hated him, and on that basis using this

0:25:02 > 0:25:08every time you had a call of nature would give you an intense amusement.

0:25:08 > 0:25:13This one is made in Sunderland in the Northeast,

0:25:13 > 0:25:16and it's got a motto on the outside.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20It says "To the wife, dear lovely wife,

0:25:20 > 0:25:26"we'll laugh and wizz-wizz and then to bed."

0:25:26 > 0:25:29Isn't that ridiculous?

0:25:29 > 0:25:34Well, it doesn't stop there because when I turn it over, look at that!

0:25:34 > 0:25:38That brown lump on the side is not what you think it might be,

0:25:38 > 0:25:40it's actually a modelled frog.

0:25:40 > 0:25:48And just as the Staffordshire and northeastern potters produced tankards and mugs with frogs

0:25:48 > 0:25:51nestling in the bottom of them, to cause some shock horror,

0:25:51 > 0:25:54so they did with some of these jerries.

0:25:54 > 0:25:58But how would this work in polite society?

0:25:58 > 0:26:02Well, we've got a dining table laid out as it would look in 1820

0:26:02 > 0:26:05or 1840, if you had a call of nature for a bloke

0:26:05 > 0:26:07you'd simply get up from the dining table,

0:26:07 > 0:26:10you'd shuffle off into the corner of the room

0:26:10 > 0:26:13where there normally would be a screen.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16Behind the screen would be a table with half a dozen of these things,

0:26:16 > 0:26:19you'd just go round the corner and...

0:26:19 > 0:26:20WHISTLES

0:26:20 > 0:26:23..the job's done. It's marvellous, isn't it?

0:26:23 > 0:26:28However, things were slightly differently ordered for the women folk,

0:26:28 > 0:26:33they had the opportunity of using one of these things.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36Now, it looks rather like a bit of dinnerware, doesn't it?

0:26:36 > 0:26:40It looks like the sort of thing you'd have your gravy in.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43In fact, this is called a Bourdaloue,

0:26:43 > 0:26:48so named after a preacher who preached such boring sermons

0:26:48 > 0:26:53to the likes of Louis XIV, that when the women felt the call of nature,

0:26:53 > 0:26:59they couldn't leave church and they called for one of these, the Bourdaloue.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02In our dining room, for example, the lady sitting here,

0:27:02 > 0:27:06if she felt that she simply couldn't contain herself any longer,

0:27:06 > 0:27:11she'd say to the footman, "Excuse me, I could do with a Bourdaloue,"

0:27:11 > 0:27:13he'd trot off and get one of these.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17She would, while sitting at the table, do the business,

0:27:17 > 0:27:19put a little cloth on the top

0:27:19 > 0:27:22and hand it back to the footman to cart off.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Of course, the big question today is,

0:27:24 > 0:27:28will our teams over at the auction be going potty?

0:27:30 > 0:27:33We're in Leyburn with auctioneer Rodney Tennant,

0:27:33 > 0:27:37nothing potty about him, where our teams have everything crossed for a good sale.

0:27:37 > 0:27:42But remember I sent our experts off to fish out a bonus buy,

0:27:42 > 0:27:45well let's discover what Philip landed for the Reds.

0:27:45 > 0:27:53Well, girls, you spent £120, you gave 180 smackers to the old boy, what did he buy?

0:27:53 > 0:27:57Well, I normally only spent a fiver, but I went sort of...

0:27:57 > 0:28:01I bought that. There's a face of continuing disapproval, isn't it?

0:28:01 > 0:28:04An occasional table.

0:28:04 > 0:28:06- Yes, occasional table or etagere. - Yes.

0:28:06 > 0:28:10I wasn't sure of the wood. I thought it was maple, would you agree?

0:28:10 > 0:28:12It's that bird's-eye maple, isn't it?

0:28:12 > 0:28:16It's all there, unlike a lot of us who appear on this programme,

0:28:16 > 0:28:21but it's a bit wobbly-dobbly and it needs gluing up and tightening up.

0:28:21 > 0:28:28I paid £95 for that, it's probably, I would think, around 1900,

0:28:28 > 0:28:31something like that, but I don't think that's dear.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33Now she's laughing at me again.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36Nicola, stop laughing at him. He hates being laughed at.

0:28:36 > 0:28:41Once it's been polished up and tidied up, I can see that at hopefully three figures.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44- Hmm.- Are you convinced, Nic?

0:28:44 > 0:28:47I actually quite like it, I'm just concerned that it is a bit...

0:28:47 > 0:28:50- Wibbly-wobbly?- Yes, but I do actually quite like it.

0:28:50 > 0:28:54- What about you, Lauren? - I'll have a think about it.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56That's a no, then.

0:28:56 > 0:28:59Well, that's the whole point, you don't have to pick right now,

0:28:59 > 0:29:02your choice will come after the sale of your first three items.

0:29:02 > 0:29:09But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the wibbly-wobbly etagere.

0:29:10 > 0:29:12Hello, Tim, it's always nice to welcome you.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14It's a treat to be here, I can't tell you.

0:29:14 > 0:29:21Now, first up for out Red team, as if by magic, our two-tier etagere.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23That's the bonus buy, Rodney, what do you think?

0:29:23 > 0:29:25Not a lot, in three words.

0:29:25 > 0:29:30I think the tiers, the trays themselves, are period.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32- Those are old?- Yes, they're old,

0:29:32 > 0:29:34but it's been cobbled together

0:29:34 > 0:29:38with new supports, new legs, in my opinion.

0:29:38 > 0:29:41Well, they do look rather weedy in colour, I have to say.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43I think it's been cobbled together.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46I'm getting a bad feeling about Philip Serrell's

0:29:46 > 0:29:49bonus buy. I thought it was quite nice till you pointed that out.

0:29:49 > 0:29:50What's your estimate?

0:29:50 > 0:29:55- 30 to 40.- £95 paid, and he reckons he's going to make money on £95.

0:29:55 > 0:29:58Now, we've got these two printing blocks,

0:29:58 > 0:30:02Incredible care and skill and craftsmanship

0:30:02 > 0:30:06have been lavished on these blocks for the purpose of printing,

0:30:06 > 0:30:08but what do you do with them now?

0:30:08 > 0:30:12One is initialled. If anybody could identify the engraver,

0:30:12 > 0:30:15then it's a different kettle of fish, but I think,

0:30:15 > 0:30:19if you can't do that, they're dead in the water - £10 to £20?

0:30:19 > 0:30:22Is that all? Well, our team will be delighted with that,

0:30:22 > 0:30:24because they only paid £12.

0:30:24 > 0:30:28- Oh, well, that's good.- Anything more than 12, we're on a winner there.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30They're worth that as paperweights if nothing else.

0:30:30 > 0:30:35Next is the Royal Worcester little comport, signed,

0:30:35 > 0:30:39and I quite like the speckled green and all that. How do you rate it?

0:30:39 > 0:30:42That's a typical thing you'd see in tea services of the period.

0:30:42 > 0:30:48It's a bit unusual, really, to get a small tart dish that's hand-painted as well by Rushton.

0:30:48 > 0:30:53It could make over 100, but we would tend to err on the £60 to £80 side.

0:30:53 > 0:30:54Fair enough, £70 paid.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Yes, well bought, I think.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Well bought. And their last item is the little vesta case,

0:31:00 > 0:31:04- and so many of those are just plain boring rectangular jobs.- They are.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06- This is a bit special.- Better shape.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09Sometimes when things have got initials on,

0:31:09 > 0:31:12it detracts from the value, but that doesn't in that case.

0:31:14 > 0:31:16- How much?- It'd make £15 to £25.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18OK, £38 they paid.

0:31:18 > 0:31:22But apart from going slightly overboard on the vesta case perhaps,

0:31:22 > 0:31:25they've done pretty well.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues,

0:31:27 > 0:31:30and what a wacky collection of stuff they've got.

0:31:30 > 0:31:35For a kick-off we've got this Chinese restaurant lantern.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37I have to say I think I'm quite partial to this,

0:31:37 > 0:31:39I think it's good fun.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42You used to see a lot of them in the houses in the '30s, '40s.

0:31:42 > 0:31:46They wouldn't fit into your modern house in any way, shape, or form.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50I think it's going to be of limited value.

0:31:50 > 0:31:54I would have thought it's in the £35 to £45 bracket.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57- Brilliant, £35 they paid. - They should be all right.

0:31:57 > 0:32:02Next is the Victorian oval and seed pearl-encrusted brooch.

0:32:02 > 0:32:06The whole thing's very good quality, but it's embellished

0:32:06 > 0:32:08with these gold hearts all the way around,

0:32:08 > 0:32:12which takes it into a different market, I think.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15- It's romantic.- Well, that's the word, I think you're right. It is.

0:32:15 > 0:32:19So with all that romance all wrapped into this better quality object...?

0:32:19 > 0:32:21- Still only £40 to £60.- Really?

0:32:21 > 0:32:25Oh, blast. Anyway, no, they paid 50, so they'll be delighted with that.

0:32:25 > 0:32:29- Right, bang on. - Lastly, the two Poole chargers.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32Now, Poole is not my most favourite pottery,

0:32:32 > 0:32:34but I'd love to know what you think.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37Well, sadly at the moment, it's trends, isn't it?

0:32:37 > 0:32:41And at the moment, it doesn't seem to be anybody's favourite pottery.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44It really has hit a bit of a low,

0:32:44 > 0:32:47and if I owned any, I would hang onto it,

0:32:47 > 0:32:51because I'm sure it will come back. But a pair of those now,

0:32:51 > 0:32:54whereas I wouldn't have hesitated in saying 150 to 200,

0:32:54 > 0:32:58I would halve that now and say 70 to 100.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01- £70 to £100. - Just being on the conservative side.

0:33:01 > 0:33:02Yes, well they paid 150.

0:33:02 > 0:33:07That's what they're worth, but what they make at auction is a different thing.

0:33:07 > 0:33:12On that happy note, they're definitely going to need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18Now, Ems and Claire, you spent a magnificent £235,

0:33:18 > 0:33:21you gave £65 to Carlos, what did he spend your cash on?

0:33:21 > 0:33:29I spent almost all of it, I spent £55 on a petite, pretty, shiny, and attractive, like you two...

0:33:29 > 0:33:32Well, not petite.

0:33:32 > 0:33:37Six very, very fine silver embossed buttons, Edwardian, they're 1901.

0:33:37 > 0:33:41They're beautifully embossed with Reynolds' angels and cherubs' heads

0:33:41 > 0:33:44and the hallmark of Birmingham.

0:33:44 > 0:33:47- And how much did you pay for them? - £55.

0:33:47 > 0:33:51- On a good day, I can see them making £70 or £80.- Oh, wow.

0:33:51 > 0:33:55But look at the case, it's worn, it's tired.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57- Just like us. - We're going back to the great

0:33:57 > 0:34:02Edwardian period of extravagance and quality, and they are nice.

0:34:02 > 0:34:07They are very pretty, it's just a case of are there going to be two

0:34:07 > 0:34:12people at auction today who are going to fight for them, and I'm unsure.

0:34:12 > 0:34:15You're going to do so well in the auction.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18- It's nearly £10 a button, isn't it? - £10 a button.- Well, £9.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21You could get a blazer for that these days.

0:34:21 > 0:34:27£9 a button, but you don't have to decide now, you decide later.

0:34:27 > 0:34:34But for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Charles's little buttons.

0:34:34 > 0:34:38So, Rodney, you've heard of the expression to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth,

0:34:38 > 0:34:43I'm not sure what you were if you were born with these silver buttons on your blouse.

0:34:43 > 0:34:47They're rather smart. Could prove to be a bargain if they're only £40 to £60.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49Is that your estimate?

0:34:49 > 0:34:52They should make more than that, £40 to £60.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54You feel that, it's cast, isn't it?

0:34:54 > 0:34:57Yes, it is. They're very, very good quality.

0:34:57 > 0:34:59£55 was paid by Charles Hanson.

0:34:59 > 0:35:07Oh, that's fine. Textiles and fashion as a whole, and clothing, is increasing in value all the time.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10You're obviously in a very bullish mood, Rodney.

0:35:10 > 0:35:13I am, I am. Let's just see what happens very shortly.

0:35:13 > 0:35:15Very shortly. Thank you very much.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21- Excited, girls?- Yes.- Yes, very.

0:35:21 > 0:35:26On the scale of excitement, would you say you're up around the ten?

0:35:26 > 0:35:28- I'd say 11 or 12.- Definitely, yes.

0:35:28 > 0:35:31We could have a certain amount of frenzy in a minute.

0:35:31 > 0:35:36Good. First up are your engraving blocks, and here they come.

0:35:36 > 0:35:39£50? £20.

0:35:39 > 0:35:4420 bid on my right, £20, interesting items.

0:35:44 > 0:35:4630, 40, 50, 60.

0:35:46 > 0:35:50£60, still on my right at 60.

0:35:50 > 0:35:52On my right, one of them's initialled.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55£60 on my right, anybody else?

0:35:55 > 0:35:59All done this time at £60. Going, going...

0:35:59 > 0:36:03- Well done! £60, you've made 48 on your first item.- That's excellent.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05I can't bear it!

0:36:06 > 0:36:10Royal Worcester hand-painted there by Rushton, start me at £50,

0:36:10 > 0:36:12hand-painted Royal Worcester.

0:36:12 > 0:36:1650 bid right down here, £50.

0:36:16 > 0:36:1860, 70, 80, 90.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20Down here at 90, anyone else?

0:36:20 > 0:36:23Are you all done? For the last time at £90.

0:36:25 > 0:36:28£90 is plus 20, inexpensive or not, it's still plus 20.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31Rather a nice vesta case here. £30.

0:36:31 > 0:36:3430 bid, thank you, sir, at £30.

0:36:34 > 0:36:3640 where? At £30 only bid...

0:36:36 > 0:36:38all done at 30.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41- 40. £40 on the aisle. - You're in profit on that.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44Lady's bid this time on the aisle at 40.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47We're out over there and down here. All done.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51- I can't believe that.- That's plus £2. You've got £70, girls.

0:36:51 > 0:36:55You spent £120 and you've made £70.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57You are up £70.

0:36:57 > 0:37:03Now the wibbly-wobbly table comes in at a cost of £95, you have £70.

0:37:03 > 0:37:07You could ring-fence that profit and stop worrying about it.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09Are you feeling confident?

0:37:09 > 0:37:11I can't give you any help at all.

0:37:11 > 0:37:15I think we should keep what we've got and stick with that, no offense.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18I'm with you all the way, girls, I'm with you all the way.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21- You've done us well so far, but... - You're not going to go with it?

0:37:21 > 0:37:24- I'm happy with that.- Not going to go with it.- We'll leave it.

0:37:24 > 0:37:30Now I can tell you that the auctioneer's estimate is £30 to £40.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33Now, this could be wrong, right, and Phil could be well in there,

0:37:33 > 0:37:36and this could make a substantial profit,

0:37:36 > 0:37:39but whatever happens, we're going to sell it anyway.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42Burr maple, two-tier etagere £20.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Anybody at 20?

0:37:44 > 0:37:4720 bid right at the very back at £20. At 20.

0:37:47 > 0:37:5130 where? Are you all done this time at £20...

0:37:51 > 0:37:5630, 40. Anyone else, are you all done this time at £40?

0:37:56 > 0:37:57Good decision, girls.

0:37:59 > 0:38:00That's excellent.

0:38:00 > 0:38:07£40, that is minus £55, I'm afraid, on the bonus buy.

0:38:07 > 0:38:10- So just as well you didn't go with it.- Good call.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12Good call, you are plus 70.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15Now, that could well be a winning score, all right,

0:38:15 > 0:38:18- so don't say a word to the Blues. - Fingers crossed.

0:38:18 > 0:38:19No need to ruin their day, eh?

0:38:26 > 0:38:30So, Emma and Claire, what is this Mini-Me doing here?

0:38:30 > 0:38:33- It's my youngest child.- Who's called?

0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Freddie.- Hi, Freddie. How are you doing, all right?

0:38:36 > 0:38:40- Yes.- That is a smashing bow tie, I have to say.

0:38:40 > 0:38:43Now, you've brought Freddie with you why?

0:38:43 > 0:38:48- He's our good-luck mascot.- Oh, is he? - Yes.- Well, he's extremely smart.

0:38:48 > 0:38:50- Thank you.- I hope he does bring you luck today.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Thank you.- We might need it.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54Here comes your Moorish lamp.

0:38:54 > 0:38:5850. £50 bid thank you, £50 bid...

0:38:58 > 0:39:0460, 70, 80, at £80 on the aisle. At £80.

0:39:04 > 0:39:0780, a lady's bid. 90, 100.

0:39:07 > 0:39:11£100. Still on the aisle at £100.

0:39:11 > 0:39:19I say, £65 up. Oh, your luck's in. Now the brooch.

0:39:19 > 0:39:23Seed pearl and gold with the hearts on it, £100. 50, 20 bid.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25£20 only bid, at £20.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27- Oh, no.- No.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29At £20. 30, 40.

0:39:29 > 0:39:3550, £50 on my right. Your bid at £50, all done?

0:39:35 > 0:39:38The bid is on my right at £50.

0:39:38 > 0:39:40- Oh, no.- Once more, for the last time.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42That is a shame.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44£50, no shame.

0:39:44 > 0:39:46It should have gone for more.

0:39:46 > 0:39:51- Two fingers crossed, Freddie. - I'm crossing my legs and my fingers.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53Here we go.

0:39:53 > 0:39:54Designed by Alan Clarke

0:39:54 > 0:39:58at Poole down in Dorset,

0:39:58 > 0:40:02start me where you will, £150 for the pair, £100. £50, then.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04- Come on.- 50 bid, thank you.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06£50 bid for the pair of them.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09- Surely.- £50. 60 where?- Come on.- 60.

0:40:09 > 0:40:1370, 80. At £80 to my left.

0:40:13 > 0:40:18- Come on, more.- At £80 the pair, they might be unfashionable at the moment

0:40:18 > 0:40:22but they will come back. At £80 on the left. 90.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24- Come on!- Are you all done?

0:40:24 > 0:40:29- No, a bit more please.- For the very last time at £100, all done.

0:40:30 > 0:40:34£100, that's minus £50 on that, you are £15 up.

0:40:34 > 0:40:35- Go for it.- No.- Go for it.- No.

0:40:35 > 0:40:38Well done, Freddie, keep the cross going.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40- Go for it.- No, we'll stick.

0:40:40 > 0:40:42They're really buoyant.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44They're not that buoyant, are they?

0:40:44 > 0:40:46- You think they're worth it? - No, Claire.

0:40:46 > 0:40:50The brooch, which is nicer than the buttons, went for 50.

0:40:50 > 0:40:51- Are you sure? Come on.- No.

0:40:51 > 0:40:55We could lose our £15 profit, wiped out.

0:40:55 > 0:40:59- Life's too short, eh, Freddie? - That's £7.50 for the NSPCC. We'll stay.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01- They're nice.- They're not that nice.

0:41:01 > 0:41:04You want to shake, rattle and roll a bit, don't you?

0:41:04 > 0:41:07No, thanks.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09Well, thanks for inviting me.

0:41:09 > 0:41:11Glad you could come for the ride.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14No bonus buy, we're going to sell it anyway.

0:41:14 > 0:41:17Cased set, the original case, £50.

0:41:17 > 0:41:19Bid at £50, any bid, at £60.

0:41:19 > 0:41:2170.

0:41:21 > 0:41:2480, 90.

0:41:24 > 0:41:25- 100.- Oh, Charles.

0:41:25 > 0:41:27- 100.- I told you, I told you!

0:41:27 > 0:41:33100. £100, at £100. Are you all done this time?

0:41:35 > 0:41:36£100.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39- That is plus £45. - Well done, Charles.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41If they'd listened to me, hey Freddie.

0:41:41 > 0:41:45- Don't tell the Reds a thing.- No. - All will be revealed in a moment.

0:41:45 > 0:41:46- Right.- All right. Thank you.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48- You did great.- I'm sorry.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50It doesn't matter.

0:41:55 > 0:42:01It's lovely to be handing out cash to both teams, it's just a question of scale.

0:42:01 > 0:42:04And as it has today, this sometimes boils down to whether

0:42:04 > 0:42:07you go with the bonus buy or not,

0:42:07 > 0:42:11and I'm sorry to reveal that the runners-up today are the Blues.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16Who are going to go home with £15.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18Freddie, I'm going to hand that to you.

0:42:18 > 0:42:22You can sort out how you split it between your relations.

0:42:22 > 0:42:26But it's a tragedy, because Charles did incredibly well with the bonus buy.

0:42:26 > 0:42:32- He did, he did.- Actually, as far as the maths is concerned, it wouldn't have put you in a winning position.

0:42:32 > 0:42:40- Really?- But the victors, yes, who are going to go home with £70.

0:42:40 > 0:42:4370 smackers, there you go, look. There's your 70.

0:42:43 > 0:42:45Look, that's folding money, isn't it?

0:42:45 > 0:42:47- Are you pleased about that?- Yes.

0:42:47 > 0:42:50- What about you, Lauren? - Ecstatic. I can't believe it.

0:42:50 > 0:42:54- It's a serious amount of dosh, isn't it?- Yes, thanks to our expert.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56Well, that's very noble of you, isn't it?

0:42:56 > 0:42:59- It's a team effort, though. - Absolutely.

0:42:59 > 0:43:00Anyway, we've had a fab show,

0:43:00 > 0:43:04- join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
