0:00:03 > 0:00:06Today, with a bit of fine-tuning,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09it's my job to send you lot into a spin,
0:00:09 > 0:00:13because I'm in charge of the Bargain Hunt musical selection,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16and boy, have we got some hits for you!
0:00:16 > 0:00:19So let's swing...
0:00:19 > 0:00:21and go bargain-hunting.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Today we're at the Lincolnshire Showground in Lincoln.
0:00:48 > 0:00:54This fair has over 2,000 stalls. It's enormous,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57and by jingo, it's an exciting place!
0:00:57 > 0:01:04We have a galaxy of antiques, which are not only a visual delight, but also music to your ears.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08And here's a quick snippet of what to expect.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13The Red team are firing on all cylinders.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- She's bringing them in fast and furious. Grab that.- I saw that.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Do you see that? Do you think that's good?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- She's on to something else, hang on.- A very pretty little thing.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Let's just look at one thing at a time.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28And a Blue birthday girl wants everyone to know.
0:01:28 > 0:01:2980?
0:01:29 > 0:01:34- It's my birthday.- Oh, you liar! - No, it genuinely is.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38But that's all still to come.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40First I'll remind you about the rules.
0:01:40 > 0:01:46Each of the teams have an expert with whom they whizz around the fair, spend £300,
0:01:46 > 0:01:51buy three items, and the team wins that makes the most profits,
0:01:51 > 0:01:56or the least losses, later over at the auction. Simple, isn't it?
0:01:57 > 0:02:03Competing on Bargain Hunt today, we have two teams of friends.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Or at least, they're friends at the moment.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08For the Reds, we have Clarissa and Jill. Welcome.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- And for the Blues, we've got Rachel and Furry.- Hello.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15What sort of a name is "Furry" we shall discover in a moment.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Now, Clarissa, how did you meet Jill first?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Through a Christian charity called Christians Aware, and the Church.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- And you've always been involved in charity work, haven't you?- Yes.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30I ran a Mind charity shop, and I ran a Help the Aged charity shop.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32And most of my clothes come from charity shops.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37- Really? I couldn't tell.- My mother was Scottish and born in the war.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38So she was what they call "careful".
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Make do and mend.- And Jill, what do you do for a living?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- I'm retired.- Retired what? - Primary school teacher.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49But what do you do now with all your new-found spare time?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- I'm involved with a little local theatre.- Are you? Is this am drams?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Yes, but run on very professional lines.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Oh, I see. What is your strategy, both of you, today on Bargain Hunt?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- You said "to win"! - To win, to win, to win.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- And who's going to make the decisions out of your team?- Ah!
0:03:06 > 0:03:12- That might be interesting.- That will be very interesting.- We like being interested. Very good luck.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- Thank you.- Now, to the Blues. Rachel, or should I say "Birthday Girl"?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- It's your birthday today! - It is indeed.- Well,
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- an auspicious moment to come on Bargain Hunt! Are you feeling lucky? - Hopefully, yeah.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- How did you become friends, you and Furry?- It was my friend's birthday,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30and I went along to bake her a cake.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I completely messed up the cake.
0:03:32 > 0:03:38- Did you?- But I covered it in icing and nobody noticed the difference. - And are you in catering as a living?
0:03:38 > 0:03:39I am, yes!
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Well, that's terrible, isn't it? So what exactly do you do in the catering world?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I work for YMCA Derbyshire as a hospitality manager.
0:03:48 > 0:03:54My first question to you, Furry, has to be, however do you get a name like Furry?
0:03:54 > 0:03:59Basically, I used to do a lot of DJ-ing around Nottingham, and my DJ name was Furry Hands.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04- And my friends just started calling me Furry.- Why Furry Hands? - It's more ironic than it is true.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08You've got a furry face, but not furry hands.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12One night, after a long night out, some friends decided it would be a good idea
0:04:12 > 0:04:16to go on the deed poll website and offer me the chance to change my name.
0:04:16 > 0:04:23So how many pints does it take, then, on the deed poll site, to change your name to Furry?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26That's the million-dollar question. It was a long night.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Well, good for you.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30What do you do for a living now?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I work with adults with learning disabilities.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36We're trying to promote independent living as much as possible
0:04:36 > 0:04:38and integrate them into society as much as possible.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Very satisfying from your point of view?- It is. I love my job.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44What is your strategy for beating the Reds?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I guess the gift of the blag.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49A bit of blagging, get the prices down.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52You are the birthday girl, and they say you're the mistress of blag...
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- We'll see how it goes.- We'll stand by to see how you get on.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Now is the money moment, the moment you've all been waiting for.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02There's your £300 apiece. You know the rules.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Your experts await. Off you go! And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Isn't it lovely having a birthday girl?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Let's meet the experts.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Shopping with the Reds today is antiques dealer David Harper.
0:05:14 > 0:05:20And our Blue team are under the safe guidance of Kate Bliss.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25As they start their shopping, it's quite clear they all have very different tastes.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- Do like that?- It is nice. I like the colours and the pattern.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I don't think it's got an enormous amount of age.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33They seem to like it. I don't.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Do you like Moorcroft? - Not a lot.- Oh!
0:05:36 > 0:05:38The Michelin man. Bibendum.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43- You did say completely different, didn't you? - Maybe not that different!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Do you like horsy things?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- No.- No, she doesn't.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Can we go on and look at a few more stalls?- OK, we're off.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Have you seen anything? - Yeah, these rabbits.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56KATE AND FURRY LAUGH
0:05:56 > 0:05:58What kind of taste has he got?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I just wondered if they are at all collectible.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07The artwork on it is very delicate.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Would you say that's hand-painted or transfer?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Transfer.- Yeah. It is transfer.
0:06:11 > 0:06:17- I do like it.- I love the fact there's a frog in the bottom. - It's genuine. It's a genuine thing.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Wouldn't you love to have a visitor to your home and give them a nice big mug of tea,
0:06:21 > 0:06:26and then watch their reaction as they get to the bottom and see a dirty great big frog!
0:06:26 > 0:06:30If they don't like amphibians, they might drop it in horror, then you've lost it.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32That's why it's quite rare.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35It could be 1840-1860, probably.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- What's your best? - What have I got on it?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40You've got 70.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Try and really tempt us.- 58.
0:06:42 > 0:06:4558. Really? Is that the absolute best?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- - DEALER: 48. - 40. - 48?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Go on, then. They've met us quite well.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53You've been very fair. 48 - we'll have it. Thank you very much.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Thank you.- I'm happy with that.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- And it's nice to get one in the bag, as well.- Yes, exactly!
0:07:03 > 0:07:05This is up your street, isn't it?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09That's lovely. It'll fold out and everything like that.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- You see...- Oh, I see.- Yes.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Lying casks, standing casks...
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- This is for barrels, isn't it? - Brewery.- Yes.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17And stock-taking in pubs.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21"The standard slide rule for the entire wine and spirit trade."
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Is that up your street?- I like it. It's quirky.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- RACHEL: It's up MY street. - But how much is on the ticket?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31This is 48, but this gentleman does very good deals.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- Really? Fantastic.- You can have it for 35. There you go.- 35.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39So this is obviously wood and then with a veneer of...
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- It's not ivory, but it's a sort of ivorine.- Ivorine. That's it.- Yes.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48So it's a sort of early plastic, if you like, that was made to look like ivory,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- but it was known as ivorine... - So it's not going to upset anybody.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56..mounted on this wood, and then you've got nice brass mounts on the ends there,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- which is rather nice. - How old would you say it is?
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- Twenties.- Yeah, it's got to be 1920s, hasn't it?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- So you like this?- I used to run bars myself a while back, so...
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- But we had...- You'd need one of these.- We had a computer, though!
0:08:11 > 0:08:16It's got all the right maker's marks on it. It's in lovely condition. I think we take a gamble.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- I think so. Why not?- Give it a go? - Yes.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- 35, then?- 35?- It's a deal.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Thank you very much. - DEALER: OK.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37Isn't that lovely? The Red Arrows have produced that romantic symbol.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Now, if you're of a sensitive disposition,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44and you don't care to think about the opposite sex at all,
0:08:44 > 0:08:48I suggest you go and make your sandwich or cup of tea now,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50because I'm going to reveal something
0:08:50 > 0:08:54the like of which you have never seen before on Bargain Hunt...
0:08:54 > 0:08:55# Ta-dum! #
0:08:55 > 0:08:59..which I've just found downstairs with a stall holder.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02What is the connection between it...
0:09:03 > 0:09:05..and it?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09All will be revealed, but first, let's have a bird's eye at it.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13It is indeed a perfect little ball, a ball that's been pierced
0:09:13 > 0:09:19with two lugs on the outer edges, and if I revolve it gently,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22you can see that, depending on the angle of dangle,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25those little sharp bits
0:09:25 > 0:09:29within each of the holes pop in and out,
0:09:29 > 0:09:33depending on the position of the ball.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Indeed,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36if I put it on the back of my hand
0:09:36 > 0:09:41and I gently roll it along over the skin, it does indeed
0:09:41 > 0:09:45give a rather tingly experience.
0:09:45 > 0:09:51Because this thing is actually a ladies' stimulator -
0:09:51 > 0:09:56a Chinese, 19th century, ivory ladies' stimulator.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01How much? To you or me, it could be £100.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04That gets you going, doesn't it?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Both teams have had 20 minutes of shopping time,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13and the Reds are fired up to find bargain number two.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- What about that pistol in there? - Yes.- What's the story there?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- DEALER: That's a cigar cutter. - Is it really?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- How lovely.- That is interesting. - Is it terribly cheap?- No, it's not!
0:10:23 > 0:10:26CLARISSA: And that. DEALER: I know this guy,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28and what he's liable to say.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- That is lovely, isn't it? - Yes.- I daren't... Oof!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Ouch!- How much is it?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36We've got 125 on it.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40Date-wise, I'd have thought late 19th, early 20th. What do you feel?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I reckon about 1880.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47- Right.- It could be 1910. - It could be. It's within that realm. - It'd span the 1900s.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- We pull back the hammer... - Thumb back the hammer.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Your cheroot or cigar goes in there.- Yeah.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- You let the hammer go...- Chop it.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59..and the cut-off is retained in there until you tip it to waste.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Tip it out like that.- I do like it.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05I do, and a nice wooden handle. It's so well made. But the thing is,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07it's all down to price.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10What's the absolute death, double-death, trade?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- The normal should be a ton. - But we don't like doing normal.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I know you don't like doing normal!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Make it 80 and I'll talk with you.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- OK. Girls, I totally love it. - If you think it might make money, it doesn't actually matter
0:11:23 > 0:11:29- whether we love it!- It should. - If it does both...- Exactly.- ..ticks both boxes, I think, why not?
0:11:29 > 0:11:331900 in date. 80 quid. Good man, thank you very much.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38- We've got to live with you for the rest of the day.- I thought you were going to say the rest of my life!
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Steady on, David!
0:11:41 > 0:11:44So Clarissa and Jill have two purchases in the bag.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Meanwhile, Furry and Rachel have spotted some bling.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Let's have a little look at this.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- This is nice, Furry. Well spotted.- Hey-hey!
0:11:53 > 0:11:55It's lovely, isn't it?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58This is probably a nine carat... I'll get my glass on it.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01..um...gold brooch.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Obviously an openwork design, with the heart there.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09The heart is textured to look like the branch that it's sitting on.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Oh, yeah.- Then we've got the little bird,
0:12:11 > 0:12:17set with tiny little seed pearls, and a ruby for its head.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21And it's obviously signifying or symbolising a love token,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Victorian in date, I would say, and in quite good condition.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Yes, it's nine carat. And the Victorians used a lovely...
0:12:29 > 0:12:31what's known as rose gold.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34£40, I have to say, is right on the nail.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Do you think it's a bit rich? - At auction, you're going to get
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- between 30 and 50 for that. - Right.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41So it's a gamble.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- What do you think?- I think maybe we could keep it as a reserve.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Yeah.- See how we get on for the next 20 minutes or so.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Right.- We know it's here. How does that sound?- That's a good idea.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58We've done half an hour, two items and we've spent how much money, Clarissa?
0:12:58 > 0:13:02We've spent 80 plus 40.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- 48, 80 plus 48.- OK, 128.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- 128.- We've got plenty of money, then.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- It's not bad.- We have, but you've got to buy something too.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Whilst the Red team are thinking about their third purchase,
0:13:14 > 0:13:20Rachel has bargained the price of the brooch down from 40 to £38.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24I'll leave this decision up to you, Furry. I'm pretty open.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- I say we go for it.- Go for it?- Yeah.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31- What do you think, Kate?- I think it's a lovely period thing. I think you've got a chance.- Yeah.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Let's do it. - Come on, then, let's crack on.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39Lovely. A decision made. Meanwhile, Clarissa and Jill have found a rather nice bowl,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42and there's some hard negotiating going on.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45It's a nice one, but I wouldn't pay the price he's asking.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- What would you pay?- How much was it again?- 40.- I would pay 15.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Wow, Clarissa! You are tough!
0:13:52 > 0:13:54These guys have to make a living, you know.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- What can you do that one for?- £100.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Original feet. - Mahogany and satinwood.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03A lovely bit of mahogany.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- And do you see that's got real patina of age?- Yeah.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08You can tell it's a really nice Georgian example.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11You've got an ivory escutcheon here, lovely inlaid shell motif.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16See that? All that is inlaid with different woods. But unfortunately,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18open it up...
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- This started out life as a tea caddy.- Ah, right.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24There would have been two internal boxes
0:14:24 > 0:14:27that slipped into there for two different types of tea.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- Having said that, if you don't look inside, it's a lovely-looking Georgian box.- Yes.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35£100. I would like to say...
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- 80?- I'd like to say 140,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39but... THEY LAUGH
0:14:39 > 0:14:43If it had the caddies inside, you'd be looking at 200, £250.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44- But it hasn't.- I know.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- But it's an easy thing to do. - It's my birthday.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Oh, you liar! No, it genuinely is!
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- It genuinely is.- It really is. - I didn't know!
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- I mean, £80... - It'd be the best birthday present.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00I'll do it at 85, as it's her birthday, and only because it's her birthday.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Thank you!
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Come on, guys. Let's make a decision.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- Let's go with it. It's a bit of a risk, but let's do it. - Are you happy?- Live dangerously.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- There we go, sir. Thank you very much indeed.- Thank you.- Pleasure.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13And happy birthday! Thank you very much.
0:15:15 > 0:15:22The Blues have all three purchases, but the Reds are running out of time. Come along now, girls.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- She's bringing them in fast and furious!- I saw that. Do you see that?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- There's also a very pretty thing. - But don't you think that's...?
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- And what about the candlesticks? - We need to move on.- You...
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Do you think that's good? No. HE LAUGHS
0:15:35 > 0:15:36She's onto something else.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39You're not panicking. Let's just look at one thing at a time.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44- This is all modern. We don't want it.- No, it's not... - There was a little silver tray.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Well, I saw that before you did the check-up.- Let's go, then.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Wow, time is disappearing fast and David's getting desperate!
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Sorry, I've got a Steiff squirrel with me.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- A Steiff?- Yeah.- Wow!
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- I know.- Is it really?- Yes, we've got a little Steiff button.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Let's have a look. There's his button.- Yes, yes you have.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- That's worth something.- What's the best trade on the Steiff squirrel?
0:16:10 > 0:16:15- What have I got on it?- 58. - As it's you, I'll do 48.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- You're very lovely. - DEALER: But that is really the best.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- What do you think? Tell us what to do.- If it wasn't me, he'd be 38!
0:16:21 > 0:16:26I didn't know Steiff did squirrels...other than teddy bears.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- I think it's rarer than a teddy bear.- Well, maybe.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32It's not a really early one, but I think he's lovely, utterly lovely.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- What do you think? - I think he's a miserable old thing.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39You do not! How could you find that face miserable? How can you?!
0:16:39 > 0:16:41If you think he'll make money, we'll have him.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- It's amazing. - Can you do it a bit better?
0:16:43 > 0:16:48- I can do 45. That's the absolute death on the squirrel.- Really?
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- We've got five minutes.- Yep. I've made up my mind.- I've made up MY mind. What about you?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- I don't know. - Does that mean it's two against one?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Three. I think it's three against one.- Three against one.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- You like that?- I love him.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Done.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04There's the lady - go and give her some money.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- Right.- That's it, we're done.- 40...
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- 45.- 45.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10BOTH SIGH
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Right, that's it.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19Now it's up to those naughty experts to convert all that leftover lolly
0:17:19 > 0:17:22into a bonus buy which will be revealed over at the auction,
0:17:22 > 0:17:30and then the teams have the tough decision as to whether to go with the bonus buy or not. I love it!
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Anyway, right now, let's revisit what the Reds have already bought.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Their first purchase was
0:17:38 > 0:17:42a Staffordshire novelty frog mug for £48. Ribbit!
0:17:42 > 0:17:48A gun-shaped cigar cutter was picked up for £80. Boom-boom!
0:17:48 > 0:17:54And finally, Clarissa and Jill bought a Steiff squirrel for £45.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57So...how lovely to have a team that's so keen on rodents.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Is it a rodent?
0:17:59 > 0:18:04- I think we've handled every single item in the fair twice.- Yeah.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- They're thorough, you see.- Oh, gosh. - They're not the Red team for nothing.- Oh, no.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10How much did you spend, Jill?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- It was about...- 140...was it?
0:18:13 > 0:18:18- 140, roughly?- 173. - 173, that's very good.
0:18:18 > 0:18:25- 173. So I want 127 of leftover lolly. Have you got 127 there? - I have indeed.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26That must be 127.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I'm going to give you this 127. We're good at maths, anyway(!)
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- What are you going to do with 127? - I'm going to run off immediately. - Are you?- Yes.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38- Immediately?- Immediately. - Have you got something you like? - I've got lots of things in mind.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- I have warned him not to squander it...- Yes.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Yes.- ..on things that are not going to be a useful bonus.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Exactly.- It's not often you see David Harper looking frightened.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- He's looking quite frightened now. - Yes!- So on that happy note,
0:18:49 > 0:18:53off you shove, and let's remind ourselves of what the Blues bought.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00The Blues bought a wine and spirit measure for £35.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05They're pinning their hopes on a Victorian brooch which cost £38.
0:19:05 > 0:19:11And finally, they spent £85 on a Georgian mahogany box.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Are you happy?- You do love a rabbit on, you two, don't you?
0:19:14 > 0:19:15- A good shop, though? - Yes, it was good.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Ten minutes left over. I'm proud of you.- Very good.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Super. What did you spend overall?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- 158 in total.- You spent £158.- Mmm.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26So can I have £142, please?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Yeah.- You got it?- Hopefully.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31140 and two smackers,
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- coming over to Kate Bliss. - Thank you so much. - What could be nicer?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Any ideas, Kate?- I don't know. I'm going to be very relaxed.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- I don't think I've ever had ten minutes to spare.- No, but it's good.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Brilliant.- They're obviously a quality act.- I think so.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- Good team.- A bit like you.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Anyway, good luck, Kate.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52For me, I'm going to have a quick whizz down the motorway to Hertfordshire,
0:19:52 > 0:19:56where hurricanes hardly ever happen.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07Hatfield House was built on land adjacent to the Old Hatfield Palace
0:20:07 > 0:20:10between 1607 and 1611.
0:20:12 > 0:20:18Built by the first Earl of Salisbury, today it's still in the family and home to the 7th Earl.
0:20:18 > 0:20:26In the early years of the 17th century, lots of grand country houses had long galleries.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31Indeed, James I and Charles I walked up a gallery like this
0:20:31 > 0:20:35to take exercise because they didn't like to get their feet wet.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38And you have to admit, it is enormous.
0:20:41 > 0:20:48Next door, in the north gallery, we've got a chair with right royal connections.
0:20:48 > 0:20:54How do we know this? Well, if you look at the cipher in the middle at the back here, it says AR.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59This is the chair that Queen Anne was crowned in.
0:20:59 > 0:21:06This very chair would have been set up in Westminster Abbey for her coronation in 1702
0:21:06 > 0:21:12and, as such, represents the very best in the chair-maker's skills.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16And the chair-maker was most definitely wanting to show off.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21What we've got, apart from the cipher, is the royal crown above,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23the unicorn and the lion,
0:21:23 > 0:21:28and a delicious series of scrolls and shields,
0:21:28 > 0:21:32all carved out of actually rather an inferior wood.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36If you look at the back, it looks a bit rough, right?
0:21:36 > 0:21:41That's because the carved beech is covered in chalk, called gesso,
0:21:41 > 0:21:46to seal the timber so that the gilding doesn't soak into the wood directly,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48but it also gives the opportunity
0:21:48 > 0:21:54for the carver to sharpen up the edges of the carving on this side, the showy side,
0:21:54 > 0:22:00which he does on the chalk, not the beech, before the gilding is applied.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04What's this royal chair doing at Hatfield House?
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Well, Lord Salisbury became Lord Chamberlain in 1789,
0:22:09 > 0:22:15and this chair was given him by George III, or so they said,
0:22:15 > 0:22:21as a perquisite - that is a perk to go with the job of Lord Chamberlain.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24One of the things I love about English stately homes
0:22:24 > 0:22:30is the contrast of objects that you can get literally yards apart.
0:22:30 > 0:22:36There we've got the quintessential piece of English regal furniture,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39and here, something completely different.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41What do you make of this?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Well, you'd be right if you said it was a flashy thing,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46because it certainly is.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49This was made for pure show,
0:22:49 > 0:22:53because the top is completely made of shells -
0:22:53 > 0:22:56a whole series of bits of abalone
0:22:56 > 0:23:01and oyster shell, most carefully selected and butted together.
0:23:01 > 0:23:07What's really impressive, though, is if you look at these pieces of shell in detail.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09The outer border is relatively straightforward -
0:23:09 > 0:23:12it's parquetry - but when you get inside,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15the first line looks like pineapple chunks.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19The next line is triangular-topped tombstones.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23More chunks, more tombstones, taller, rounded-top tombstones,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26before you get to the central panel of decoration
0:23:26 > 0:23:30which is made up of these marigold-type jobs.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Quite extraordinary.
0:23:32 > 0:23:39Now, how this piece of furniture, which comes from India, got to be at Hatfield, nobody knows.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43In fact, the curators here regard this piece as a bit of a mystery.
0:23:43 > 0:23:51Date-wise, it could date from anywhere between about 1700 and 1900.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54The big question today is, of course, how much profit
0:23:54 > 0:23:57is going to be shelled out to our teams over at the auction?
0:23:58 > 0:24:04Whilst I've been off on my travels, our experts have been shopping for their bonus buys.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Before I see what they've bought, I need to catch up with our auctioneer.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Today we're with Charles Hanson at Hansons Auction House in Mackworth,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15just outside Derby, and a rare treat it is to be here, Charles.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Tim, great to have you here.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22The Red team, Clarissa and Jill, had an entertaining shopping experience.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25They came up with this transfer-printed frog mug.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Tim, I think it tells a great tale from a great age.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33You'd go to the tavern, have your drink and think you were seeing things,
0:24:33 > 0:24:37because by the time you've finished your ale, you saw a frog.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39You thought, "It's time to go home."
0:24:39 > 0:24:44By the time you've had 20 halves, you'd see five frogs, or what do you think?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- I don't know.- And it's a horrible, ugly, black old toad underneath.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50It is. It's a toad you'd probably jump out your skin from.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- But it's a great tavern tale.- Yes.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I suppose 1830s, '40s, hand tinted.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00- Staffordshire, maybe, north-eastern. - How much do you think it's worth?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Tim, my guide price is between £30 and £50.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- £48 was paid by Jill.- Right, OK.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- Could be slightly over the top? - Possibly.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Now, the walnut cigar cutter. It's good fun, isn't it?
0:25:11 > 0:25:12It is good fun, Tim.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Ephemera from a bygone age, when smoking was popular, are collectible.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Cheaply made. It's not an expensive thing.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- No.- It was just a bit of fun.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- Difficult thing to value, don't you think?- It is.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- My guide price is between £40 and £50.- £80 they paid.- Right.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31- I think it might be difficult to sell to get that money back.- Yes.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Next you've got this handsome squirrel,
0:25:35 > 0:25:40sometime said to be by Steiff. Some people said to be by STIFF!
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- Yes!- Definitely dead, though, isn't it?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44He's been gone a few years,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- from the look of him.- How do you know it's by this man Stiff...Steiff?
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Well, we have the label, Franz Steiff.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56He invented the button in 1905, so it's all part of its history.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00It has seen better days, but it is Steiff. And he is a rarity, being red.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Oh, definitely not grey.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- He's not a common.- No.- No. What's it worth?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Well, Tim, between £40 and £60.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11£45 was paid by David. So they're more or less in the frame there.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15It'll all boil down to how that cheroot trimmer does, frankly...
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Yes.- ..as to whether they'll need the bonus buy or not.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Let's have a look at it anyway.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Now, Clarissa and Jill, you spent a massive £173, which is lovely.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26You left David with £127.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Did you blow the lot, David? - Not quite.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32I bought the only thing, I think, that we didn't look at in the fair.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Oh, David!
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Oh.- Oh? What do you think? Have a hold, have a feel.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I like the shape, I like the shell.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44We were looking for silver, weren't we? We did like the idea of buying some silver.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Do you remember this?- No. - You didn't see this thing, did you?
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- She looked at 'most everything else. - 25,500 items.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Quite, in only an hour. The Tornado of the North.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58I think it's absolutely beautiful. Big question.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01It's not British silver, but it is hallmarked London.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03It's an imported item, stamped 925.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Probably made in France, I would imagine. Somewhere on the Continent.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11But it's of a good enough quality to stamp 925 with the London hallmark.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- The shell design is gorgeous.- Yes.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17It's very Regency, early 19th century in design. And, of course, it's a pill box.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Yes.- Million-dollar question. How...?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22I'm going to ask you, how much would you pay for it?
0:27:22 > 0:27:27- Oh...- I don't think the inside looks entirely...- Here we go!
0:27:27 > 0:27:29What century did you say it was?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- 20th century somewhere. I don't know.- 20th century?
0:27:32 > 0:27:37- Not very old.- It's not very old. - Isn't is interesting that you can tell by the inside?- Go on, how much?
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- 30?- OK.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- 45.- OK. Ten quid.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- Ten...?- It's a bargain.- It is. Did you have to beat somebody down for it?- Of course I did.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50That's why they call it the Blood-Red team.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Anyway, you don't have to decide now. You'll decide later.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's little box.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03There you go, Charles. It's solid silver and brand-Harry-Spankers, I'd say.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Yes, it is, Tim.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08It is hallmarked, it is new, with this shell hinged lid.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Fairly tinny,
0:28:10 > 0:28:14meaning fairly light. Really, its value as a pill box is what it is.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- So will it make £10 or more? - Yes. Guide price £15.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Could be 10, could be 20. But no more than that.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23£127 of leftover lolly the man had.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28- Gosh!- £127 to spend and he chooses to spend a tenner.- He's cautious. - He will make a small profit.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33Yes? But it may not be enough profit to dig these guys out of bad territory.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35That's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36A pretty wacky mixture.
0:28:36 > 0:28:41The wine and spirit slide rule. That's odd, isn't it?
0:28:41 > 0:28:45- But interesting. How do you feel about it? - I don't see much value to it.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49I just have a feeling that it's not much good. It's an odd-ball thing.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51I don't see anybody buying it. What's your estimate?
0:28:51 > 0:28:56- Our guide price on it is between £30 and £40.- Well, fair enough.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59£35 was paid. I think that's a very kind estimate.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- But you could be struggling at £10.- I could. It will be sold.
0:29:03 > 0:29:08Well, it's got to be sold. I don't just have the warmest feeling about that, I have to say.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10The gold brooch, that's quite nice.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14- Yes.- Nicely made?- It's lovely. I think it's delightful.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18It's very much in that what we call "aesthetic" style of the 1890s.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Look at the almost... type of gnarled bamboo heart.
0:29:22 > 0:29:27With this swallow or swift winging over the top. What's your estimate, Charles?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Well, Tim, our guide price on it is between...
0:29:30 > 0:29:34I'd like to see it make £70 or £80, but our guide price is between 40 and 60.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39- £38 paid.- Good.- And I mean, unusual for Furry to find this, too.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- He's a contestant, by the way. - Yes.- Yeah!
0:29:41 > 0:29:45- Unusual thing for a bloke to find. - It's a really good lot, Tim.
0:29:45 > 0:29:50I think he's done well there. 40-60, that's great. Now, the mahogany box.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53A tea caddy, we can see it opens up like so, two divisions,
0:29:53 > 0:29:56later lined for the purpose of storing jewellery or whatever.
0:29:56 > 0:30:02But this satinwood and the staining is all around 1810, surely, George III.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04What is your estimate, then?
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Between 40 and 60 is my guide price.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10Well, unfortunately, if you regard 40-60 as the right price,
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- they paid the wrong price, cos they paid £85.- Oh, right.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14£85 is the price,
0:30:14 > 0:30:19and I think that's the retail price, cos it's been mucked about with...
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- Yes, it has.- ..with the baize lining, but it's useful.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23I think they paid a tad too much.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- Yes.- I feel really dodgy about that slide rule for the drink,
0:30:26 > 0:30:31and I think they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37- So, Furry and Rach, you left Kate with £142.- Uh-huh.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39I wonder what she's spent it on.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43Well, I couldn't just spend £20, could I, if you left me that much?
0:30:43 > 0:30:45So I had a bit of a splurge...
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- Oh, silver! - And do you know something?
0:30:47 > 0:30:48I rate this.
0:30:48 > 0:30:54I think this is a super little jug, and what's shouting about it is the Art Nouveau style.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57It's octagonal in shape,
0:30:57 > 0:31:00but it's got this lovely sinuous, leafage handle here,
0:31:00 > 0:31:05and these particularly shaped feet
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- in the Art Nouveau design.- Love hearts.- Yes, almost heart-shaped.
0:31:09 > 0:31:16Now, it's hallmarked for London, dated 1904, but it's retailed in Glasgow. Here we are.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20We have engraved on the bottom here, stamped, "R Stewart, Glasgow",
0:31:20 > 0:31:23so made for the Art Nouveau market in Glasgow.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Gilt interior, which is another sign of quality.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29I just thought it was a super shape and design.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- May I have a look?- Yeah.- Thank you. The bottom line is, how much did you pay, Kate?
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Well, I told you I had a bit of a blow-out. I did pay £90.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38- Right.- How much?!
0:31:38 > 0:31:42But for a good Art Nouveau silver collector, that is not expensive.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45And do you think there's much mileage in it?
0:31:45 > 0:31:48If people spot the quality, it ought to make more than that.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- OK.- Would it be something that you might buy for yourself, Rach?
0:31:51 > 0:31:56- No! Not at that price, no. - There's the simple answer to that.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- What about you? Would you buy it? - No, not me.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- But you know...- It depends who's at the auction.- Exactly.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05Of course it does. Anyway, hold on to those thoughts.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about that little jug.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11That's a lovely little jug, isn't it?
0:32:11 > 0:32:17It is, Tim, it's just so stylish, and style is so important in the antiques market today.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19It could almost melt or walk away.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Looking at the feet, they're free-flowing, organic,
0:32:23 > 0:32:27with these almost Charles Voysey motifs and the sinuous handle,
0:32:27 > 0:32:30very much Glasgow, Scottish Art Nouveau.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35And of course on the bottom is a retailer's mark for Glasgow, but hallmarked for London, 1904.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- What's it worth?- My guide price, I've been a bit cruel.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42I've said between 40 and 60, but it could make 70 or £80
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- on a really good day. - And Kate's paid £90 for it.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- Right, OK.- As a bonus buy.- Right!
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Yes, um...well, I think it's worth £90, I have to say.
0:32:51 > 0:32:57I can see it retailing for £120 or £130, because it's so stylish.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02- But whether you'll get somebody to pay that much, I don't know. - We'll do our best.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- We will hopefully have a good sale. - As they say, "Och, aye!"
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Now, you girls, you look experienced to me.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17- You know your way around the auction business.- Yes.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Are you at all nervous?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Well, I'm excited rather than nervous. What about you?
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Yes, I suppose it is, a mixture of both.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- A mixture of both - anticipation. - That's the word.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29The first lot up is the frog mug, and here it comes.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34A delightful Staffordshire novelty pottery frog mug.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38I've got one, two, three bids. I am bid 25, 30. Do I see two now?
0:33:38 > 0:33:4130, I'll take two, five, eight. I'm out.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Do I see 40? 40, two, five, eight.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49- 50, two, five...- Look, you're in profit, girls.- 60.- Yes!
0:33:49 > 0:33:5260 do I see? 60, new place. Two?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- You're in, sir, at £60.- Come on! - Do I see two now?
0:33:55 > 0:33:5860, I'll take two, fair warning. I'll take two, come on!
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- Come on!- £60, come on!
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Do I see two?
0:34:02 > 0:34:0560, I'll take two! One more do I see?
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Fair warning... Two, five...
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- One more, sir!- Go on, go on!
0:34:10 > 0:34:1465, 65. 68, Miss White? You're out, but thank you very much.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17You're in, sir, at £65.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20- Oh!- £65, so that's a proper job, isn't it?
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- That's 50...- Well done. - ..er...that's 15,
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- that's £17 - plus 17. - Brilliant.- Now...
0:34:26 > 0:34:31Cigar cutter being shown by Sandra, I've got some interest here at £30.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35Do I see two? Five, eight, 40, two, and I'm out. Do I see five now?
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- Come on.- I'll take five, surely, come on.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- I don't like the look of this.- No.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- One more do I see? Come on. Fair warning. I'll take five.- Oh, Tim!
0:34:44 > 0:34:47And we sell at £42. Gone.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- Minus 38, I'm awfully sorry. - Sorry, girls.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- Next up is the Steiff squirrel. - I loved that.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53- OK.- Here it comes.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56You might like it, they are endangered, but there we are,
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- it's a red squirrel. - LAUGHTER
0:34:59 > 0:35:0420th century. Where do we start? With the all-important ear...
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- Piercing.- ..stud.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Piercing, quite right, there we are.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10However, I have interest here at £30.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14- Oh.- For a lovely squirrel, do I see two?
0:35:14 > 0:35:20- At £32, five...- Yes! - 38, 40, two, five...
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- One more, sir. Look at him. - Go on, go on!- Five!
0:35:24 > 0:35:26- 48, Miss White?- Go on, Miss White!
0:35:28 > 0:35:2950, sir?
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Two?
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- 55?- Go on!- Thank you, sir,
0:35:34 > 0:35:36very much, we appreciate it.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40- Yeah!- You're in, Miss White, at £52. I'll take five.
0:35:40 > 0:35:45All out? We go to the lady, looking very elegant, at £52! All out!
0:35:45 > 0:35:51- THEY ALL TALK AT ONCE - ..45, 55, that is £7.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54You are minus £14 at the end of that tally-up, yes?
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- Are you going to go with the pillbox and trust David? - Yes.- I would say yes.- Yes?
0:35:58 > 0:36:02- That was exciting, wasn't it?- Yes. I'd like another excitement!
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- But you are £14 down, yes? - Yes, we need to make it, don't we?
0:36:06 > 0:36:07You need to make it up.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12- It could be a winning score, -14, so you could just do nothing, and leave it...- Absolutely.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- No, no, no, let's go for it.- Or go with the pillbox.- Go with it.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- Yes?- Yes.- Go with the pillbox? Are you happy with it?- Of course.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Of course! And off we go. - It's a small, modern,
0:36:21 > 0:36:25silver pillbox with a hinged cover and hallmarked for London.
0:36:25 > 0:36:30£5. Five and I'm out. At five, six, eight...
0:36:30 > 0:36:32- and ten and 12...- Oh, thank God!
0:36:32 > 0:36:3512, madam. 14, sir.
0:36:35 > 0:36:4116? 14, 16, madam. 16, 18, one more. I'll take 17 if that helps you.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- Go on! - At £16, the lady. 17, 18... 18, 20.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49One more. And two, I'll take £21.
0:36:49 > 0:36:54- We want new bidders.- 23, 24, 25...
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Are you sure? At 24?
0:36:57 > 0:37:01- Have we made our money back? - All done?- One more!- At £24...
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- One more!- One more, 25? Are you sure? "No more," she says.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- 25!- Yes!- Yes!
0:37:08 > 0:37:1127! Look at me, madam.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14No? Are you sure? Thank you. We say sale.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19You are £26, that is plus 16, which means overall you're plus two!
0:37:19 > 0:37:24- Yes! Well done.- Don't you love it? I just love this programme.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- OK. £2 up.- Great. - Thank you so much, Tim.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Well, thank him!
0:37:29 > 0:37:34That's a peach of a result on that £10 item. Now, don't tell the Blues a thing, all right?
0:37:41 > 0:37:42- You guys OK?- Very good, thanks.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- Have the Reds told you anything? - Not a word.- We haven't seen them.
0:37:45 > 0:37:50Well, your first item up is the wine and spirit measure-calculator jobby.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53£35 paid, the estimate's 30-50, and here it comes.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55There we are, "the standard slide rule
0:37:55 > 0:37:59"for the entire wine and spirit trade". I'm only bid £20 for this.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- -- Ooh... - -- I'm bid 20, I'll take two now.
0:38:02 > 0:38:0422, 25, eight, I'm out.
0:38:04 > 0:38:10Do I see 30? At two...five, 38...40.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13You're in profit.
0:38:13 > 0:38:18..48, 50, two... 50, I'll take two, come on. 50?
0:38:18 > 0:38:22I'll take one more, Sir Paul. Look at me. "No," he says, at 50.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23All done?
0:38:23 > 0:38:27We say "sale" to you, sir... Two, five?
0:38:27 > 0:38:3058... One more, sir, look at me.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Yes, one more? 58, 60.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- Two... Look at me. - LAUGHTER
0:38:37 > 0:38:39"Look at me"!
0:38:39 > 0:38:41To you, sir, we say "sale" at £60.
0:38:41 > 0:38:47- Snooge!- That is happenin'!- Yes! Come on!- They're so sweet! £60.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- You've made £25 profit.- Amazing!
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- £25 up.- Amazing!- Huh. Now the brooch.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55There we are, it might fly away.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59A delightful, 9 carat gold heart and dove design brooch. Late Victorian.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02I am bid £32. Do I see five now?
0:39:02 > 0:39:0632, do I see five now? Good object, this, at £32.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08On commission we go. Do I see five?
0:39:08 > 0:39:12Fair warning... Five. 38, 40...
0:39:12 > 0:39:16- One more now.- One for luck!- Yes?
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Go on, then. - Thank you, sir.- Good man!
0:39:19 > 0:39:21I'm out, you're in, sir, at £40.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24We go to you, sir, for £40.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- Ooh!- That's £2.- £2!
0:39:26 > 0:39:29It's profit, that's all right. Both of your items made a profit,
0:39:29 > 0:39:33- Furry, that's brilliant. Now, Kate...- This one. Come on, Kate!
0:39:33 > 0:39:34Uh-oh...
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Mahogany and boxwood strung tea caddy with a hinged cover,
0:39:37 > 0:39:39156, where do we start?
0:39:39 > 0:39:43Bids here only at £30. Do I see two, please?
0:39:43 > 0:39:47Good box for £30. Two, five, eight, 40, two, and I'm out. Do I see five?
0:39:47 > 0:39:5148, 50, two... One more. No?
0:39:51 > 0:39:5652, five. 58? Thank you. At £55. Do I see eight now?
0:39:56 > 0:40:01- At 55, 55, we're all out.- Uh-oh! Oh, no!- And selling at £55.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- Pooge!- £55.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07I'm so sorry, that's minus £30 on that.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11- Ouch!- You had 27, you are currently minus three.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14- Minus three, minus three. - That is so close, isn't it?
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- You're up there, you're down there. - Yeah, yeah.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Are you going to go with the jug and rescue it?
0:40:19 > 0:40:23- Minus three could be a winning score.- What do you reckon? - I don't know.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24I genuinely don't know!
0:40:24 > 0:40:28- I think we should risk it.- OK, I'm going with you.- We'll go for it.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- Just think this through, OK?- Are you absolutely sure about this?
0:40:32 > 0:40:36Well, minus three could be a winning score, but we wouldn't win anything so...!
0:40:36 > 0:40:39What do you think? What's your gut instinct?
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Ooh... Oh, no, I don't want the pressure!
0:40:43 > 0:40:46- Are you going to go with it? - Shall we do it?- Let's do it.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51- We'll do it, yeah, we'll do it. - Let's go with it.- He who dares wins.- Exactly.- OK, off we go!
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Number 916 is a delightful silver cream jug.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57I am bid at £40.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01Two, five, eight, 50, two, and I'm out.
0:41:02 > 0:41:08Do I see five now? I'll take five, 55, 58, 60. Two...
0:41:08 > 0:41:13The lady at £60. Do I see two? Five, one more, 68. 70?
0:41:13 > 0:41:20- Are you sure? Positive?- Go on! - 70, two, five... Madam, no more?
0:41:20 > 0:41:23You're in, sir, standing at £72...to you, sir.
0:41:24 > 0:41:29- Darn it!- I'm so sorry.- Don't worry. - Minus 18 equals...
0:41:29 > 0:41:30minus 21.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32- That's still not too bad. - It could be a winning score.
0:41:32 > 0:41:37Don't say a word to the Reds, and all will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:43 > 0:41:48Cor, talk about snakes and ladders! It has been a contest today. Have you had a good time?
0:41:48 > 0:41:51- Brilliant time.- Absolutely. - We've loved having you.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Have you been talking about the results at all?
0:41:54 > 0:41:57- Not a word. Absolutely not.- Well,
0:41:57 > 0:42:00there's not much of a gnat between you, it has to be said,
0:42:00 > 0:42:04but somebody's got to be the runners-up, and the runners-up today are Rach and Furry...
0:42:04 > 0:42:08- ALL: Oh! - ..which is bad luck, really.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10How could we win, with you about?
0:42:10 > 0:42:14- Sorry, we're just so surprised! - I love David, I love him!
0:42:14 > 0:42:16I don't think I've got this wrong. It is amazing,
0:42:16 > 0:42:20you are quite right to be surprised, because Furry, I have to say,
