0:00:05 > 0:00:10Today around about this time I normally give two lucky teams £300 each and,
0:00:10 > 0:00:14do you know, I think I'm going to do the same again today!
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:44 > 0:00:48I've popped over to Derby today, to Derby University,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51because every so often the authorities fling this place open
0:00:51 > 0:00:53to the wonderful world of antiques,
0:00:53 > 0:00:58where there are literally thousands of objects for our teams to pick over.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Just look at what we've got coming up!
0:01:03 > 0:01:08For the Reds, Josie and John, it's never mind the quantity, feel the...
0:01:08 > 0:01:09- Quality.- Quality.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Quality team. Definite quality.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13You're so rough!
0:01:13 > 0:01:19Sisters Zoe and Tracey give their expert a run for his money.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I like the little thimble there.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Oh, do you? Never mind.- OK!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- You're not impressed with agate? - No, I like pig.- Charming.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31Charming. Which team will come out on top at the auction, then?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- Yes.- Keep going, keep going, keep going!- Commission bid and I sell.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- No!- More, more!- No!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41All done.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Before we meet today's teams, let me remind you about the rules.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Each team has £300 to hunt down three items
0:01:48 > 0:01:54at this Jaguar Antiques Fair, which they must try to sell for a profit at auction.
0:01:54 > 0:02:01So today we have husband and wife Josie and John, versus sisters Zoe and Tracey.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06So...the costume presumably relates to something you do, does it?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Yes, it certainly does, yes.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11We go into schools and Women's Institutes
0:02:11 > 0:02:16and talk about Tudor history in general and about Henry VIII.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19And Catherine Parr, and the other wives as well.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- And how did you two meet? - Well, we actually met...
0:02:23 > 0:02:25We were both on a course, didn't know each other, in Blackpool,
0:02:25 > 0:02:31and it was tea time and John hadn't appeared for the first night on our table,
0:02:31 > 0:02:36so everybody else ate his tea, which was a little unfortunate, and he came in and we'd all eaten
0:02:36 > 0:02:42his tea and left about two chips on the plate, and so we kind of got to know each other after that.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- And, John, you've got some unusual hobbies?- Yes. Yes, I collect thousands and thousands
0:02:47 > 0:02:54of little toy soldiers and then I recreate battles, 1066, Waterloo, and enjoy playing with them.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56And, Josie, what do you collect?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I collect egg cups among other things, and I like Art Nouveau
0:02:59 > 0:03:03jewellery and things like that. I've got 200 egg cups, actually.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06And what are you expecting and hoping to find today?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Well, I'd love to find a very rare Tudor jewel
0:03:09 > 0:03:12for about 5p, but I don't think that's going to happen, so...
0:03:12 > 0:03:15But certainly jewellery and Art Nouveau ware, as well.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Yes, indeed, yes. I'd go along with that.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Well, extraordinarily good luck. Now, over to the opposition.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Well, girls, this is quite a formidable sight, isn't it?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Very impressive.- Do you feel underdressed at all?- Slightly!
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- Slightly!- Just slightly! Well, don't worry about it at all.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Now, Zo Zo, you applied to be on the show. Tell me why.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Well, I applied... Well, Tracey didn't even know about it at the time.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41I just thought it would be great to have a fun day together.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44We're both busy with families and that, and it was just a bit of us time.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47So it's an opportunity to get to know your sister again!
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Well...- Absolutely.- Yeah.- I mean, do you see much of each other?
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Not as much as we'd like.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- No.- We live about 20 miles away, but Tracey works full time
0:03:56 > 0:03:59so this was sort of an opportunity just to indulge.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Well, we hope you have a thoroughly lovely day.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04But you both come from Stoke on Trent originally.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Yes. Both from the mother town of the Potteries, Burslem.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10And therefore you collect, do you?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13I collect Bunnykins figures.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I've done a little bit of the Beatrix Potter, as well.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- And Tracey, you're a big animal lover?- I am, yes.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22I do a bit of voluntary work at a local rescue centre
0:04:22 > 0:04:25where they have farm animals.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Why do you think you love animals so much?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30We've had pets, both of us, since we were dots.
0:04:30 > 0:04:36I was brought up in a pet shop and so it was nothing to have tortoise walking up and down the yard at home.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Well, good fun, isn't it? It's no wonder I suppose.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43- It's like, you know, all of us, our upbringing does rub off on you to a certain extent, doesn't it?- Yes.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Now, have you got any tactics as to how to win Bargain Hunt today?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- We're going to spend the lot. - Are you?- Absolutely blow it, yes. - I like the sound of that!
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Well, we're going for quality and quality costs, so...
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Well, good for you. That's a very good tactic.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01- Now, here come the £300 actually right now. Your £300. £300 apiece. - Thank you very much.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06You know the rules, your experts await and off you go and very good luck.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07And off with your head!
0:05:07 > 0:05:12So which experts are putting their heads on the proverbial block today?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16For the Red team, ooh, David Barby!
0:05:16 > 0:05:20And for the Blues, Mark Stacey.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Right, teams, get to it.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Now do tuck in there, girls, and have a look.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- Yes, OK.- Good morning. - Good morning.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Morning.- How are you? Jolly good.
0:05:31 > 0:05:39It's off with their costumes for Henry VIII and Catherine Parr, it's back to reality for Josie and John.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Right, here's your selection of militaria.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Now, what are we looking for, British medals?- Well, British medals are sort of common.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49If you get something foreign, you know, German or Russian or French, anything like that...
0:05:49 > 0:05:52But that is for a very select niche market, isn't it?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- It is.- Are you going to find that in a general saleroom?
0:05:55 > 0:05:56No, this is the problem, isn't it?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Right, let's go and look for something else
0:05:59 > 0:06:03and I'll keep churning things over in my mind and see what we can come up with.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04And maybe cheer up a bit, eh(?)
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- You're not impressed, are you? - The strap's putting me off.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Why?- It doesn't match the quality of the face.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I think it goes quite... That's what it would have had on it.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Oh, give it up, Mark!
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Remember Josie wanted to buy some jewellery?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Well, she's spotted some.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- With the turquoise? - Could I have a look at that?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- And what is it? It's 1950s... - The pendant?
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Yes. Hepworth period, isn't it?- Yes. - Ah! Is it silver?
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Yes. Scandinavian? - I would have thought so.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42It looks Scandinavian, actually. That is rather nice, but I also...
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- How much is that, sir? - Has it got a price on it?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- No.- There's no price, so it's free! - I shall find out for you.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51But I also like that as well, actually.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53That's actually quite nice, though.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I quite like that. Do you think that would...
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- You'd buy that, wouldn't you... - I would. But would I buy... - What's that?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01This. And I also like that one as well.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- And you said it's actually 70 on that, didn't you?- 70 on that.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Could I have a look at that one, please?- Certainly.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I mean, I like both actually, I have to say.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13If I buy two, you could have one, is that all right?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Well, that's its original box, which is so good, isn't it?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20And that is really...
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Not against the Bargain Hunt logo! - No, no!
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- On the top of the Bargain Hunt... - Put it on that side there.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Stunning. I love it when you get the fabric coming through.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- I like that one.- I like that. - Do you like that one or that one?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I like both!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I look at that one and I think of St Ives, you know, Barbara Hepworth?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Yes, yes, yes.- And you have that tension of the metal,
0:07:39 > 0:07:43from one particular arch to another and that's very, very sort of '50s.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47So, is it possible, as I say, I can actually.. I! Sorry, we!
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- We, yes.- The Royal we! - Well, you saw it.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52..to have both, or do we want to go for something different again?
0:07:52 > 0:07:57- No, no, no, if you want to buy both, you can do.- Yeah. - It's entirely in your hands.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02So we could buy one now and then possibly come back if I don't find anything else for my side of it?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Yes. Now that... That... That's very good.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Yes, I think my side of it, so if we could buy that one now.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- You like that.- I like that. She likes that.- I like that.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Can you sort of get the gist that she really likes this one here!
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Well, I like that because it's in its original box
0:08:16 > 0:08:20and if you look at the box that's a statement of the period, as well.
0:08:20 > 0:08:26- Yeah.- It's 925 quality, so that's equivalent to being English sterling silver quality. I like it immensely.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Yeah, I like that, so can I take this one, please?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33I may be back for that one later, if my husband can't find two different ones.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Decisions, decisions!
0:08:36 > 0:08:38It's a tough old game.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42This is rather fun, the teapot.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43War against Hitlerism.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Yes, that's a bit different, a souvenir teapot.- A souvenir teapot.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51"For Dyson and Horsfall of Preston to replace aluminium stocks
0:08:51 > 0:08:56"taken over for Allied armaments, 1939."
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- So when was that made, then?- Well, where do you think if it was 1939?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- Where do I think?- No, WHEN do you think.- No, where.- Oh, Staffordshire. - Yes.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- If we look underneath, it's Crown Ducal.- Right.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08They were based in Staffordshire.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12And what I like about it is the fact that you've got a local piece of history, as well.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- So somebody on the internet is going to pick up on that.- Yes.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21And it's a great 1930s shape. This is very much an Art Deco style shape with that sort of stylised form.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25And as far as I can see, it's in absolutely mint condition.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- I like that, you know? - I quite like that.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Do you like that?- It's quirky, isn't it?- It is quirky.- Very nice.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34There's lots of people who collect teapots and war memorabilia and things.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39- The only thing I'm a little bit concerned about is the price.- Yeah, I don't like that price.- £85.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42It's not unreasonable if you're buying something from a respected dealer,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45but we'd like to try and get it down a bit.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- He's a nice man, he's got kind eyes. - Oh, I see, he's got kind eyes!
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- Oh, we're turning the charm on, are we, yeah?- Nothing to do with me, so...
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- What's your best on that? - Right, the best on it would be 75.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58You don't think you could do it a bit less? 60?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00No, I can't come as low as 60.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05- I'll do 65.- 65? - I think that's reasonable. - Yeah.- Are you happy with that?
0:10:05 > 0:10:06I like it, actually, because I...
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- You think we can make a profit on that?- I think so, it's quality.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13You wanted quality and you wanted quirky. I do like it, actually.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- We've got a deal, I think. - Right.- Wonderful, thank you so much. - Yeah, thank you.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20So the Blues have their first item, and the Reds?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Well, they haven't moved an inch.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26What are they up to?
0:10:26 > 0:10:31- That's very nice, actually. - You know, that reminds me of a sailing boat, actually.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- And how much are they, sir?- 30.- £30.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- And that's for all three pieces. - Yeah.- They're rather nice, actually.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42- Could you do anything else with the tie pin, or would you just... - Well, you can have it on a lapel.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- You could, couldn't you?- Yes.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Well, it's £30 for a pair of cufflinks and they're silver.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49All this is cut out by hand.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- So it's not machine... - It's not machine done.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- It's all hand cut.- Well, I approve of handcrafted things.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Because these are rather nice.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- It's your choice this time. - Yes, I like those because I would wear those.- OK.- I really would.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03So we have something for the lady and for the gentlemen.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Yes.- And we've got to find something for the weekend. - Yes, absolutely!
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Cor, you're pretty intent, you lot, aren't you?- We are.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- I mean, intent.- Very intent.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Well, we've bought two items.- Two.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Yes.- Two in one stall. - Two in one stall.- Yeah.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- So how much have you spent so far? - £100.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23£100. Bought two items for £100.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- But quality pieces, Tim.- Oh, yes.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- Quality.- Look at his face! - That's us, quality.- Quality. - A quality team.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- Definitely a quality man. - You're so rough!
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I was told you liked a bit of rough, David!
0:11:42 > 0:11:48Before you had telly, before you had movies, every single household
0:11:48 > 0:11:52in the civilised world would have had one of these things.
0:11:52 > 0:11:59It's called a stereoscopic viewer, which would enable the viewer to experience foreign sites without
0:11:59 > 0:12:06having to leave their front room, because with every viewer came a series of photographic cards and,
0:12:06 > 0:12:13sure enough, alongside the viewer we've got a box. It's a book called India Through The Stereoscope,
0:12:13 > 0:12:18and what that includes is a whole bunch of cards,
0:12:18 > 0:12:22each of which have got two photographic prints on them,
0:12:22 > 0:12:28and when you look at them through this viewer, you see those images in stereo.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33Oliver Wendell Holmes developed the process of looking at
0:12:33 > 0:12:38two photographs on a card through a viewer like this.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Now, if I put the card in like that,
0:12:40 > 0:12:47and I look through the two prismatic lenses, like this... What I see is
0:12:47 > 0:12:55those two images, one slightly superimposed over the other, which gives you a 3D effect.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58They were producing these cards to create that effect
0:12:58 > 0:13:06from the 1880s and, actually, if you look on the bottom of this viewer, it's got a patent number for 1901.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09..And these things remained in production
0:13:09 > 0:13:16until films really got going in the 1920s, when all of a sudden all this stuff was made redundant.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21What I love about this particular set is that it tells the story through the stereoscopic slides.
0:13:21 > 0:13:29In the first slide, you see the quintessentially typical tourist's eye view of Taj Mahal
0:13:29 > 0:13:35and so forth through a whole series of imperial images, hence the box -
0:13:35 > 0:13:38India Through The Stereoscope.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41The big question is how much this little lot would cost you.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Hang on a minute, I'll just take a quick squint.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Ah, yes, £150.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Well, £75 per eye, actually.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Eye, eye, back to the shopping.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02You've got two objects.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Yes, yes. - OK.- We've got one more...- So what are we looking for? Quirky pottery?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- I think the Art Nouveau. - Art Nouveau.- Yes.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12- Well, the Art Nouveau stand is just down there, so let's make our way down there, OK?- That sounds good.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22£240.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- We've done it again!- It's a lot.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28The team are desperate to get a nice little piece of silver, so...
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Oh, right. Well, there's a piece that I might be able to help you out with.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- It's pretty. - I think we should keep looking...
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Shall we?- ..At the moment.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39And the pig is terribly expensive, I suppose, is it? Is it antique?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42He is indeed, 1906 or 1907.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- It's a little pincushion. - Oh, I like that.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- He's got a cheeky face.- What would be the lowest you could do?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- The very, very best...- Bearing in mind that we're running out of time.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- £90.- £90. - £90.- That's not bad, you know.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- It's not a lot of weight in that? - It's a collectable.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- Right.- It's a collectable. Want to hold it and we'll come back?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Yes, I'll hold it. - See, I think he's rather sweet.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05You've got to look at the object.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09I like the detail, I like the little ears and the squiggly tail.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- I like the pig, it's just... - I don't think you can go by that.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Because it's a little object, they were meant as little fancies...
0:15:17 > 0:15:21They're not going to be very heavy, because they're not cast silver.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- Do you think this is the original velvet?- It looks like it, it's a nice deep colour.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27A little piggie, isn't it?
0:15:27 > 0:15:32You see, I think it would appeal to people that collect pigs and people that collect silver.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35You're quite right. Do you want to hold it for 10 minutes or so?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37We'll come straight back if we can't find anything.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Because we've got 20 minutes...
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- We've got about 20 minutes or so, so...- Right, well, we'll come straight back, yeah?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- Let's have one last quick look.- Can you make yourself look very obvious?
0:15:56 > 0:16:00We've come to relieve you of all those things you're going to reduce half price!
0:16:00 > 0:16:03What's the little piece on the end?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I don't know, it's got a mark on.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09I think it's Dutch. Ceramic, with a pewter overlay. It's just lovely.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I'll do it for you for 80.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15It is stamped. A ceramic specialist may be able to tell you what the mark is.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- I like the feel of it. - I like the mixture.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- The colour is lovely as well. - It's a beautiful colour, isn't it?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- I know. And you know you're buying... - Quality.- Yes.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Well, you're buying an original piece.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27That is a very good buy, it's very decorative,
0:16:27 > 0:16:32but you don't have to like Art Nouveau for that, do you?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35No. And it's small enough to be sort of...
0:16:35 > 0:16:37You could actually use it, as well.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- And it looks great with a freesia in. - Yeah.- It looks beautiful.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- I like it, actually. - I think vases are useful.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I like the patterns round there too.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50OK, now, this I'm going to put back, because this is something we shall come back to.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- Right, come on, we've got 15 minutes.- Right.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- 15 minutes to drag us away.- Oh, dear.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- We shall be back to see you with a vengeance.- Thank you.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Oh, don't dilly dally, David!
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- Where are you off to? - I'm just having a look in these cases here.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I like the little thimble there.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Do you? Never mind.- OK!
0:17:13 > 0:17:14Are you not impressed with agate?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- No, I like the pig.- Charming.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19We could come back... We could have the pig if you want, Trace.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Well, shall we keep looking? ..Oh, look, there's an elephant.
0:17:22 > 0:17:28The Blues need two buys in 10 minutes, and the Reds are closing the deal on their vase.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- Meet me in the middle at 70.- 65.- 70.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- 65?- Go on, go on!
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Oh, thank you! That's brilliant.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I love that.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- You've made three of us very happy indeed.- Thank you very much.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Brilliant.- Was it 60?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Nice try!
0:17:56 > 0:17:59No, where are we going? How did we get down the stairs here?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- We've still got two items to buy, haven't we?- Yes, we have.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Art Nouveau is all the rage today.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Oh, it's a box!
0:18:19 > 0:18:22We said we weren't going to go for a box, didn't we? But this is nice. I like this.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27Yes, it is nice, isn't it? I don't know whether it's a box...
0:18:27 > 0:18:32- Beautiful.- Sort of silver plated and continental, I would have thought, isn't it?- Yes.- German.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Yeah. - It's very sweet, a very nice thing.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- I like the photo frame, as well, don't you?- Yes.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- It's nice, isn't it?- Yes, I like that.- What's that? "East, West..." - "Hame's best."- Oh, home is best.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- What piece could you do at a good price for us? - Oh... I think really your frame...
0:18:45 > 0:18:53The frames are popular and it's got the motto, it's got the Liberty Glasgow School association.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58- It's, you know, really nice. What would be your best on the box? It's 180 at the moment?- 140.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03140 is the best. Two minutes left. We've got 140 on this.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- So that would be within your budget, just.- Do you like that?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08And then you're leaving me a fiver to find something!
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- You've got two minutes, guys, we need a minute to get to the other stall.- I like the box.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Yeah.- The box.- OK. Yeah.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- It's the box. - Thank you very much.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Are we straight up here?
0:19:20 > 0:19:21That corner, aren't we?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Come on. We've got... We've got to go, come on.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Excuse me, please.- Sorry.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29We've just about 30 seconds left!
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Now, is that little piggy still at the market?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Hello, could we have the pig...
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- The pig. - But we're running out of time.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- I think we've got to have it, haven't we?- We have.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45We haven't got any choice. Well, we need your very, very best...
0:19:45 > 0:19:48The very, very best I can do is £90.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- Yes. Well, you're leaving me £5, girls, to find something.- 90.
0:19:52 > 0:19:58- OK, OK. Sold! - It has to be 90 and then you're leaving me with £5.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59- Sold, yeah.- Sold.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02That was cutting it fine!
0:20:04 > 0:20:11All items bought and paid for, but if the teams were at all worried about anything that
0:20:11 > 0:20:15they have bought, they need not fret because the leftover lolly will be
0:20:15 > 0:20:21given to their expert to find that fourth item, which will be produced at the auction. They can
0:20:21 > 0:20:28decide whether to embrace it or to bin it, but right now let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Josie and John are pinning their hopes on this silver brooch.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39And the silver streak continues
0:20:39 > 0:20:44with this sailing-themed cufflinks and tie-pin set.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47And, finally, they bought that blue-glazed vase.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Oh, dear! Well, have you got matching tastes, you three? Is that what's going on here?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I think so, yes. We... We...
0:20:56 > 0:20:58We've gone for arts and crafts, Tim.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Sort of Art Nouveau, arts and crafts.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Yeah, you seem to be welded from the hip, the three of you, which is really nice.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06One major link in the middle.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09How much did you spend overall?
0:21:09 > 0:21:10165. £165.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13So I'd like £135 of leftover lolly, please.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18I knew you'd want it, and there you're. £135.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21135. Well, that's actually quite a lot for you, David, isn't it?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Well, it is, but I think I've already established what they're interested in.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Not another arts and crafts piece!
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- Probably.- We're going to keep it a secret, aren't we?- Absolutely.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30All right, fine. Do you know what...
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- Do you know what your bonus buy's going to be?- No.- No. - Well, there you go, you see?
0:21:34 > 0:21:35There is some mystery left in the programme.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- There is a little mystery. - It could be anything, couldn't it?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- It could be.- Well, we're just relying on his taste.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Rely on his taste at your peril!
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Good luck. For us, let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Zoe and Tracey were fascinated by this patriotic teapot.
0:21:54 > 0:22:00..And hope for a massive profit from the Art Nouveau pewter box.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02..And the silver piggy pincushion.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Oink oink!
0:22:06 > 0:22:07You've left me with a fiver.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I'm afraid so. You don't deserve that, but... You deserve more.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- I deserved a bit more than that. - You did, bless you!
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Well, done, girls. That's absolutely super. Are you all right, Trace?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- I'm fine, thank you. - You had a good old dash there. What about you, Zo Zo?
0:22:18 > 0:22:23- It was a bit of a sprint to the finish, but we got there. - And you spent a magnificent total.
0:22:23 > 0:22:30- Is it 295?- It was, £5 left. - I love that, don't you? £295 spent. I love you to bits.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Anyway, a £5 note left over.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- Yeah.- Which is the leftover lolly. Who's got the £5 note?- Sorry.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37You've still got the £5 note? What are doing with the £5 note already?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Well, I was so treasured... - Well, you give it to them.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41He didn't want us to spend any more!
0:22:41 > 0:22:42You're going to give it to me.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- There we go, and I give it back to you.- That's it.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48It's rather like the Inland Revenue, this. It's like a kind of perpetual cycle.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Anyway, £5 only. Good luck with that and I'm glad you've had good fun.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- We have.- And well done for spending all that cash.- Thank you.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58But, for me, I'm heading off to Bucks.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01And while I'm away, our experts can look for their bonus buys.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Good luck, boys.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Claydon has been home to the Verney family for nearly 400 years.
0:23:16 > 0:23:23In the mid-18th century, the second Earl inherited the estate and began to spend, spend, spend.
0:23:34 > 0:23:41And this is a prime example of the extravagance lavished on the interior fittings
0:23:41 > 0:23:43and decoration of this splendid house.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Your eye immediately is drawn up.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02As your eye comes down, you begin to take in
0:24:02 > 0:24:07how magnificent and beautiful this wrought-iron balustrade is.
0:24:07 > 0:24:14It's the most delicate and exquisite example of wrought iron I think I've ever seen in a British house.
0:24:14 > 0:24:20What we've got are swags draped between very delicate
0:24:20 > 0:24:25tendrils of iron, each of which spout ears of corn.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29And above that, on the next landing, you see one of their crests,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32which is a Phoenix with outstretched wings.
0:24:32 > 0:24:40But what you wouldn't realise at first sight, is that the underside of each of these stairways
0:24:40 > 0:24:47is inlaid, this time square coffers filled with stylised oak leaves, and the underside
0:24:47 > 0:24:54of this lower staircase matches the underside of the staircase as you go up, way up there, in the sky.
0:25:06 > 0:25:12In short, this staircase is an absolute tour de force of inlay,
0:25:12 > 0:25:18not just with one or two bits of timber, but with dense parquetry.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22We've got holly, we've got box, you've got ebony, you've got walnut, you've got mahogany,
0:25:22 > 0:25:29and all of those timbers together go to make up this jolly effect as you rise the staircase.
0:25:29 > 0:25:37And, most amusingly, highlighted throughout the staircase is an arrangement of little ivory dots.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41See how bright and white those dots are? Well, that's quite deliberate.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45They are supposed to reflect the light so that when it's dimpsey
0:25:45 > 0:25:50in the evening, perhaps you're only carrying a candle, when you go up and down these stairs, those little
0:25:50 > 0:25:57white dots reflect a bit of light back at you so that you can tell exactly where the treads are.
0:25:57 > 0:26:03This handrail, which executes an extraordinarily athletic double,
0:26:03 > 0:26:07or even triple whirl at the bottom,
0:26:07 > 0:26:13is also inlaid with geometric parquetry devices
0:26:13 > 0:26:15and ivory spots.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19And to finish the staircase off, we've got something that's called a flourish.
0:26:19 > 0:26:26That's the term that's used for the twirly-curly bottom tread of the staircase,
0:26:26 > 0:26:32except that at Claydon, the outset bottom tread comes far further than you would normally expect...
0:26:32 > 0:26:34almost, in a way, making a step
0:26:34 > 0:26:36that perhaps an auctioneer could
0:26:36 > 0:26:41stand upon and conduct an auction.
0:26:41 > 0:26:47The big question is today - are our teams over at the auction going to have a similar flourish?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52We shall see, we shall see.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Right, the experts have their bonus buys in the bag, so off
0:26:56 > 0:27:02- to Nottingham to meet auctioneer Nigel Kirk. He's a good egg. Nigel, good morning.- Good morning.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Now, Josie and John went with this brooch. Do you like that?
0:27:06 > 0:27:11I do, yes. It's a splendid piece of Scandinavian arts and crafts.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Is it something that you think will find favour with your crowd?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Yes, I do. I think it will sell very well.- OK. What sort of estimate?
0:27:17 > 0:27:22- 30 to 50.- OK, £70 they paid, so there may be a bit off the boil with that.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- I think they've got a chance still. - Oh, great. Now, the cufflinks.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- Sweet little yachting tie pin and links. Any good?- No.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Oh! What's the matter with it?
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Well, they're unmarked and they're rather crude workmanship.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40- What do you think it might make? - They'll probably get the money back or make a pound or two profit.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- 20 to 30.- Yes.- OK, fine.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Lastly, in their trio is this turn-of-the-century pot.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Yes, that's again a slightly strange object because it looks circa 1910,
0:27:50 > 0:27:52but I'm not convinced it's quite as early as that.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- Right.- There's no indication of a maker on either the mount or the pot.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00It's a good-looking thing and it's something you'd go and pick up straight away, but you might put it
0:28:00 > 0:28:02down again rather quickly when you've looked at it closely.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07- Yes. There's something about this overlaid metal, it's very crude, isn't it?- It is.- And thick.- It is.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09So, what's your estimate?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- I think it'll make 30 to 50. - Oh, dear, £65 paid.
0:28:11 > 0:28:18- Oh, dear.- This team is going to need its bonus buys, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Now, Josie and John, feeling all right?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- Absolutely.- Yes, yes.- Excited.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- This is the bonus buy moment, you know.- I know. - It is, yes.- Big moment.
0:28:25 > 0:28:31You spent 165, you give £135 to David Barby. What did he spend it on?
0:28:31 > 0:28:34What I bought was something extraordinarily good.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- It's a box of chocs! - They are absolutely...
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- Wow!- These are Chinese.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43I'd date them towards the middle of the 19th, end of the 19th century.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48- Can I pick one up?- Yes. They're silver, covered with gold. - Oh, wow!- They are...
0:28:48 > 0:28:52And these have got little holes, as you can see, all the way round.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- Yes.- And that would have been for stitching on to garments.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59- Right.- Now, each one represents one of the Immortals.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02This is kind of Buddhistic religion, isn't it?
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- Yes, yes. I paid £55 for them. - Wow!- We're going to make a profit.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- How much?- 55. - 55.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09Well, done. That's a marvellous buy.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13You couldn't have actually hit... With the sort of staffs on
0:29:13 > 0:29:16instruments and things like that, just absolutely fits us completely.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21- Aren't they extraordinary?- They are. - I've never, ever seen anything like this at all.- Well, there we go.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25So, what's your prediction, David, of what these Immortals might make?
0:29:25 > 0:29:27I'd like to see them go over 100, if not more.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32On that happy note, then, you rest with that thought but, for the audience at home,
0:29:32 > 0:29:36let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's Immortals.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Now, Nigel, there's something a bit glitzy.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Absolutely. They're splendid things.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- Yeah, they're good, aren't they? - Chinese repousse silver gilt.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- And do you think they might have been sewn on a costume?- I think so.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50I'd have to do some delving in my reference books to try and
0:29:50 > 0:29:53work out precisely what they're for, but I think they've got potential.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55They're certainly silver gilt and beautifully worked.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58No marks on them, but I wouldn't criticise them necessarily for that.
0:29:58 > 0:30:04The date, I would imagine, probably late 19th or early 20th century.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06And there's an incredible interest in Chinese things now, isn't there?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09China is where it's at. I'm not suggesting that these are going
0:30:09 > 0:30:12to make huge prices, but I think going to sell very well, nonetheless.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Oh, good. Mr Barby will be pleased.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- How much do you think he might get, Nigel?- I think they'll probably make £100 or so.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Gosh! He only paid £55, the cunning monkey.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24That does, of course, depend on the team deciding to
0:30:24 > 0:30:26go with the bonus buy and we'll find out about that in a moment.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31Anyway, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues - Zoe and Tracey.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- Very patriotic teapot that, what? - Absolutely! Flags of the Allies.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39I mean, it's so typically British though We're going into a World War conflict here
0:30:39 > 0:30:42and we'll have a cup of tea and produce some patriotic teapots.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- Absolutely.- Is it likely to be collectable, do you think?
0:30:45 > 0:30:49Yes, it is. Certainly commemorative objects relating to the Great War,
0:30:49 > 0:30:541914 to 1918, have become much more sought in recent years, because we're
0:30:54 > 0:30:59approaching the centenary, and I can see that the same thing will happen with the Second World War.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01So, how much do you think, Nigel?
0:31:01 > 0:31:04I think it'll probably make £40 to £60. It could make more.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07OK, £65 paid, so they've got a chance.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Now, Zoe went with the polished pewter box.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13I think that box is a slightly boring article, really.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15It's a little over polished. Sometimes, things like this
0:31:15 > 0:31:20have figures on them, you know, maidens reclining amongst lilies and whatnot and...
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- Yeah, without much on. - Yeah. They're rather more saleable.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- It's a bit dull, this one.- Right.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- How much?- Oh, I think probably about 80 to 120 on a good day.- Yeah.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32- That's pushing it a bit, I fear. - Well, she did splash out £140.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36- I think that was very bold. - Now, the silver pig pincushion.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40- Yes.- It seems to me that the price of these novelty pincushions is all over the shop.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44They make crazy prices because there's practically no silver in them.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- No.- They're purely novelty objects, but they are incredibly collectable.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50If you're forming a collection of pincushions,
0:31:50 > 0:31:53pigs and rabbits and little chicks, they turn up perhaps most frequently.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- How much do you think this little trotter's going to bring? - I think that'll make 80 to 120.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01I've sold many of them over the last few years and they always seem to make that sort of price.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- Well, that's a good fat pork profit on £90.- Good.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Because that's what Tracey paid.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08But are they going to need their bonus buy?
0:32:08 > 0:32:12I fancy if that boring box doesn't do as well as it ought to do
0:32:12 > 0:32:15they are going to need it, so let's go and have a look.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- Now, Tracey, Zo Zo. Yes?- Yes.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- Yes.- Yes.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23You spent £295, you magnificent creatures and specimens of womanhood!
0:32:23 > 0:32:29And you gave £5 to Mark Stacey to find you a bonus buy, which the way we like to do it, isn't it, Mark?
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- We do, Tim, we like a challenge. - Lovely job. What did you spend the £5 on?
0:32:32 > 0:32:34I spent the whole of the £5, Tim...
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Did you?- On these little Guinness advertising buttons.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- Oh, I like them!- There's four.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42You can see the little seal there, the ostrich head and
0:32:42 > 0:32:45creature there, but for a fiver I thought we can't go wrong with it.
0:32:45 > 0:32:50- You've done well.- It wasn't much, was it, to spend, so...- You couldn't have much choice for a fiver!
0:32:50 > 0:32:52I think it's a miracle that you found anything at all, really.
0:32:52 > 0:32:57So, talk to us, Mark, about breweriana because it is a serious collectable, isn't it?
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- Oh, it is and Guinness is right up there.- Yeah.- I mean, Guinness is one of the main collectable areas.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04I mean... And a lot of advertising ware can make serious money.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- As I say, this is not quite complete.- Jolly good, Mark.
0:33:07 > 0:33:13For the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's buttons.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- There you have it, Nigel. Look at that.- They're great.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18A wee set of four Guinnessy buttons.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Highly collectable. Breweriana, it's just what the market wants.
0:33:20 > 0:33:26- Is it?- And they're 1930s, so I'm sure they'll sell well.- Well, Mark Stacey's spent £5 on these.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27- I think he's done brilliantly. - Do you?
0:33:27 > 0:33:33I think he'll make a 400% profit and get at least £20 to £30, perhaps even 35 or £40.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34Good gracious!
0:33:34 > 0:33:38- Well, all I can say to that is - cheers!- Your very good health.
0:33:44 > 0:33:50What we've got here is a woman with a prominent feature, and that is on the backside here,
0:33:50 > 0:33:54because what she's got is a bustle, so this is an extremely fashionable
0:33:54 > 0:34:00girl made of solid silver, which is hallmarked Chester, 1900, and if I turn it upside down
0:34:00 > 0:34:07you can see it's been engraved with a little seal, which, of course, you do to seal up a letter or a parcel.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Now, I'm going to have a little experiment here.
0:34:09 > 0:34:14I've got this miracle blue pad and I'm going to pretend that that's molten sealing wax.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18If we push down here to get a good impression and take it off, perfect!
0:34:18 > 0:34:22If I pick that up and I get my little spyglass
0:34:22 > 0:34:31and we have a squint through that you can read "Hinc Orior", which in Latin means "Hence I Arise".
0:34:31 > 0:34:33From that, you are able to determine
0:34:33 > 0:34:40that the motto belonged to any one of six or seven Scottish families.
0:34:40 > 0:34:46To decode the other part of the message, you look up what the other part of the seal shows you,
0:34:46 > 0:34:52which is that hand holding a quill over a piece of mantling, and
0:34:52 > 0:35:00once you've done that you might be able to identify the actual specific family that owned this in 1901.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05Now, a lot of collectors of seals simply buy these things because they find that fun to do.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10On the other hand, you might simply buy this one because it's got such a lovely prominent feature.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15And it could be yours for £100 to £150.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16Cheeky!
0:35:22 > 0:35:28Now, girls, if there's one dark hole in your trio of objects, I'm afraid to say it's that pewter box, yeah?
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- Right.- Now, Zo Zo, you paid £140 for that, right?
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- Yes.- His estimate is £80 to £120.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35- There's a great crowd of people here.- Right.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38They're going to have to get enthusiastic,
0:35:38 > 0:35:42and that's where most of where your money sits, I'm afraid.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Right.- OK.- OK. - Yeah.- Well, we'll see. - We will see, won't we?
0:35:45 > 0:35:48The Crown Ducal War Against Hitlerism teapot with its cover.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50£30 for it please. 30 I am bid at the back.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53At 30. And five anywhere? 35.

0:36:01 > 0:36:04At £55.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07That's a £10 note off that. £55.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10You are minus £10 on there, babies.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- Now the box, all right? - The box, right.- Oh, dear.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17The continental pewter cigar box. £50 for this, please? 50?
0:36:17 > 0:36:2030. 30 I am bid. At 30. Five.
0:36:20 > 0:36:2140? 40, seated. 45?
0:36:21 > 0:36:2545. 50, I'll take now. At £45.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27- No, no.- More, more!
0:36:27 > 0:36:28- £50.- Oh, look out!- 55, sir? 55.
0:36:28 > 0:36:33- Come on!- 60 for you? At £55 I shall sell it.- £55.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- Oh, dear.- I'm sorry about that.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38We've got into at 55 groove here,
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- haven't we? Here's the pig pincushion.- Here we go.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44The Edwardian silver pig novelty pincushion.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46£50 for this, please. Always collectable. 50 I am bid.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48At 50. Five... 60 anywhere?
0:36:48 > 0:36:52£55 it is. 60. Five. 70? 70?
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Come on.- Come on.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58At £70 in front. You're out at the back and I sell at £70.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00- That, I think is cheap enough. - That was too cheap.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02£70 is minus 20.
0:37:02 > 0:37:09I make that £115 down the drain, right? £115.
0:37:09 > 0:37:1185 is 105... It is £115.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17It's £115 down the old toiletto!
0:37:17 > 0:37:19They only spent 295...
0:37:20 > 0:37:22This is not so brilliant, girls.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Now, what are we going to do about the Guinness... The Guinness...?
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- I think we'll risk it! - Can we claw it back, do you think?
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Yes.- Yeah. - Going to try it?- Yes.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- Yes.- You're going to risk your last fiver, aren't you?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34This is what they call clutching at straws.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38A set of four Guinness advertising buttons of the 1930s.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40- £10 only asked for them. 10? 10 I'm bid.- Oh, good!
0:37:40 > 0:37:4315 for them anywhere? At 10.
0:37:43 > 0:37:4515. 20. 25. 30.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47- Look at this!- Yes!
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- £35.- Oh, well, there we are.
0:37:50 > 0:37:51At £35...
0:37:51 > 0:37:53- Yes.- Yes!
0:37:53 > 0:37:55£35. I mean, what a maestro, eh?
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- Very pleased! - Yes. All that smooching!
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Look, you are plus 30 on that.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Now, that is how to do it, isn't it?
0:38:03 > 0:38:08Spend £5 in a fair and translate it, in a whizz, into £35.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- Yes, yes.- That's why he's a genius.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- Oh!- We should have just sent you out three times!
0:38:13 > 0:38:15A genius of Guinness!
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Good. So, you were plus 30 on that.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- Yes.- OK, so that means overall you are minus £85. Oh.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23That's not too bad if you say it quick.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27It's nothing, is it, £85?
0:38:27 > 0:38:28And it could be a winning score.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- Don't talk to those Reds, then, eh?- No.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45Next up is the silver seal, the lady with the protuberances.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48OK, she's coming up now. £100 to £150.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51That's about £50 per protuberance.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- Here we go.- The Victorian cast silver figure or desk seal.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56£30 for this lot.
0:38:56 > 0:38:5830 I am bid. At 30. Five anywhere?
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Five. 40? 40. Five. 50. 50. Five.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16Right.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Hello. Lovely to see you.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23- We're at the auction. - Excellent, excellent.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27Right, we keep very quiet in this auction because this auctioneer...
0:39:27 > 0:39:31- Look at them, dead quiet everywhere, so we can't make any noise. - So, no cheering, then?
0:39:31 > 0:39:33- Well, you can cheer if you like. - Oh, OK.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Let's hope we've got something to cheer about. And here we come.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40Danish arts and crafts silver open-work brooch in its original box,
0:39:40 > 0:39:43and £20 only bid for it. 20. Five. 30.
0:39:43 > 0:39:48Five. 40. 45 anywhere? 45. 50.

0:39:55 > 0:39:57Selling at £70.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59£70, then. £70.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Wiped its face. Well, now...
0:40:01 > 0:40:05A pair of silver yachtsmen's cufflinks and a matching tie pin.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07£30 for those. 30? 20?
0:40:07 > 0:40:1020, I am bid, thank you. At 20. Five anywhere? £20. The maiden bid.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Selling them at £20.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19£20. Minus £10 on that.
0:40:19 > 0:40:26The pewter overlaid art pottery vase, and £50 for this, please. 50?
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- 30? Any interest? 30 I'm bid on my right.- Oh, come on!

0:40:36 > 0:40:40£50. On my right and selling then over here at £50.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45£50 is minus 15 on that. So, overall, chaps, you are minus £25.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Sorry, but, you know, there it is.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50No hanging around here, right? No messing about.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53What are you going to do then? Are you going to go with this bonus buy?
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- Yes.- Yes.- Definitely.- Definitely. - Definitely going to go with it. - Definitely.- Yes.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- I mean, you love them, don't you? - Oh, they're marvellous. - Whatever they are!
0:40:58 > 0:41:04You will be eternally grateful to Mr Barby if he brings you immortality from this moment on.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- Indeed, indeed.- Yes, we're going with this bonus buy, right?
0:41:06 > 0:41:09That's a definite decision, we're going with the bonus buy and here they come.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Set of seven Chinese silver gilt repousse costume
0:41:12 > 0:41:14appliques. £30 for them?
0:41:14 > 0:41:1630, I am bid. At 30. Five anywhere?
0:41:16 > 0:41:19£30 it is. And five. 40. Five.
0:41:19 > 0:41:2150. Five. 60. Five.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23- 70. Five. 80.- You're in profit.
0:41:23 > 0:41:2585 on my left. Any more now?
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- At 90 here. 95 for you.- Look at that!
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- 95.- Selling in the room at £95.
0:41:31 > 0:41:39£95. You are £40 up on that, which means overall you are up £15.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Plus 15. That's pretty good, isn't it?
0:41:41 > 0:41:43- Now that could be a winning score, all right?- Excellent.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45So, JJ, don't go saying anything to anybody.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48I won't, no. Mum's the word.
0:41:50 > 0:41:51£150 I am bid for this.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Oh, I do love this programme, don't you?
0:41:59 > 0:42:04I particularly like it when both our experts make substantial
0:42:04 > 0:42:08upsides on their bonus buys, which our two boys today have done.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- Some say they look a bit like father and son.- Brothers!
0:42:11 > 0:42:17Well, I have to tell you today that they are linked in their expertise
0:42:17 > 0:42:19- because they've both done extremely well. You been talking, you lot?- No.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21- No.- No. - No?- No.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23I have to reveal, we don't have losers any more
0:42:23 > 0:42:27we only have runners up and winners, and the runners up are the Blues.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Sorry, girls.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- But you did do spectacularly badly, didn't you...- Yes.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Which is just the way it goes sometimes.
0:42:34 > 0:42:40It was all minus, minus, minus until those buttons came to the fore and produced a £30 profit,
0:42:40 > 0:42:44but overall, then, your finish was minus £85.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48Which is not so terrible, and you were a great team.
0:42:48 > 0:42:55But the victors - JJ, Josie and John, - you are going to take home £15.
