0:00:03 > 0:00:07Today we're at Wetherby Racecourse Antiques Fair
0:00:07 > 0:00:11but will it be the Reds or the Blues, who reign supreme?
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Place your bets, please!
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Let's go bargain-hunting!
0:00:38 > 0:00:43Should I put my money on the Red team or the Blue team?
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Hmm, let's have a look at the odds, shall we?
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Mandy and Geoff need some serious guidance.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54I had a plan and it all went out the window.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58All we want now is for the lift to breakdown we get stuck in it and that's it, isn't it?
0:00:59 > 0:01:04- On the Blue team, there's friction between mother and son, Catherine and John.- Wait!
0:01:04 > 0:01:07All right. We're not buying for you, Mother.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Listen to Mother, OK?- He never does!
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And at auction there's definitely something missing.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14This is unusual, isn't it?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- There's just no way to hide, is there?- We've got no team at all.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21That's all to come but first let us talk to the teams.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Welcome, guys.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Hello.- Very, very nice to see you.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Where did you two meet?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30In the pub where I worked, I was a barmaid.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- Oh, yes. That's a kind of classic, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36I pulled a good pint.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39You did, you pulled a good man by the look of it.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43So, Geoff, if you make any money today you're going to spend it on your passion, right?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- I am indeed, sir.- What's that?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Newcastle United Football Club.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Oh, are you going to buy it? - I'm going to buy some tickets.
0:01:50 > 0:01:56You were expecting to do exceedingly well on today's show. Yes.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Now, what sort of things do you collect, Mandy?
0:01:58 > 0:02:05- We used to collect Beswick.- Yeah. - Looking into going into silver now. I'm quite into little pepper pots.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Is that your joint mission today, to find some bits of silver, do you reckon?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- Yes.- For Bargain Hunt?- Yes.- OK. That sounds like hot stuff to me.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Now, Catherine and John.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- How are you both, all right? - Fine, thank you.- John, what do you do for a living?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I'm a freelance graphic designer and photographer.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Any particular line that you pursue?
0:02:24 > 0:02:29I've been in the music business for 25 years, designed over 900 album sleeves.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- That quite a number though, isn't it?- It is, yeah.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I'm waiting to get to the 1,000 and then I'll call it a day.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37You're involved in a live concerts, too?
0:02:37 > 0:02:41I am, I put on concerts. We've had Kiki Dee and people like that.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- I've seen Kiki Dee.- Have you?- Yes, she came on Famous Finds, once.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- She's lovely, isn't she? - She's a very nice woman.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50She gave me a little kiss when she went on stage.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55- She gave me one too. - I haven't washed the cheek.- No, no.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Now, Catherine, do you think you're going to work well with your boy, as a team?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01He's going to do the bargaining.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Is he? - He's very keen on a bargain.- Yes.
0:03:05 > 0:03:11- Hopefully, I do, fingers crossed, the expert bit.- Oh, right.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14And you're quite competitive, aren't you, between you? Yes?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- He's competitive. - You're not competitive?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Not to the extent he is. - You're really competitive, are you?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- I do like winning, but I don't mind losing.- You don't mind losing.- No.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26He's grown up! THEY LAUGH
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Now the money moment.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33Here we go, £300 apiece. You know the rules, your experts await.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Off you go! Very, very good luck.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39What interesting teams.
0:03:40 > 0:03:46Gracing us with their presence at this Jaguar Antiques Fair are two old favourites,
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Charles Hanson and his twinkle toes are making an appearance.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53And poor old Phil Serrell, just doesn't know where to look.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56They're the best of friends, really.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Mmm...
0:03:58 > 0:04:03So each team has £300 of the Queen's finest and one hour to buy three items.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08They'll get a put their items up for auction and whichever team makes the most cash, wins.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09WHISTLE BLOWS
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Ready, set, go!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Ready to go?- Yeah.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- We'll go in here first. - Don't go too fast.- OK, sorry.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Charles is chomping at the bit.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24A good sign, but the Reds are already knee-deep in antiques.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- You want some silver spoons, do you? - Yes, we would like some, yeah.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31We might have to put 75 on the box, Phil.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- If they came into my saleroom, I put 30 to 50, 40 to £60 on them.- Right.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39They are lovely because they're beautifully chased and engraved.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41They've got a nice gilded bowl.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Would you do those for 50?- No.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- What's the best, my love?- 55.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50If you want to buy a piece of silver, I think these are as sweet as anything.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- They're all there.- Do you think they're in their original case? - Yeah.- I would have thought so.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58You know they're going to make 30 to £40 all day long.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- Yes.- If you get two private people really interested and keen on them
0:05:01 > 0:05:04you might go and get £50 to £60.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08You are not going to make 20, 30, 40, 50 quid on it.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09- 50 quid.- No.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12I mean, no, sorry.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I think what you should do, if this lady is happy to,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- if you'd be kind enough to hang on to them for you for about 45 minutes.- Yes.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24You can't guarantee to buy them but then you can have a look around and you've got something put by.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Yeah. We can have a quick whiz round, is that OK?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Yeah, fine.- Thank you ever so much.
0:05:30 > 0:05:36Not sure that Philip Serrell does much whizzing around but I'm sure he will do his best.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- What's that old stick? - Come here, Catherine.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- What's that?- That's a nice cane.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46- It's got the huge collar here.- Yeah.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50And this horn handle which is slightly torn here.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54What height is it? May I see? Just for the height.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56It's perfect, I just did it and it's about that high.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Suit me down to the ground?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- We're not buying for you, Mother. - No, I know.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- I like that.- I like that, too. - How old is this, have a guess? 1890?
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- I wouldn't put it that far back. - 1900? I would say it was about 1900.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I would say Edwardian. It doesn't actually...
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Oh, it's antelope.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I like it. What's it worth in the sale, John?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16There's what you'd pay for it
0:06:16 > 0:06:18and what you'd buy it for now to make the profit on it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Correct.- I would think 30.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- Yes, spot on.- You'd buy it for 30? - I would buy it for 30.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28My guide price at auction would be between £30 and £50.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- If you could get it for 30, John, I would say yes.- Agreed.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Watch your best price, please, on the cane?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- £45.- 45.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Go on, then, I'll do it for 30.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Do you want to go for it? - I'd go for it, yes.- We'll go for it.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- That's your quirky bit.- I think so.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I think so. That's my quirky bit.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49OK, how about another picture now.
0:06:49 > 0:06:55That's quick! They've walked away with bargain number one in just ten minutes.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Do you like things like that?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Yes.- We like things like that, yes.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04It's a little Mauchline ware blotter, OK.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Mauchline ware originated in Scotland.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I think this is Doon Castle.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14It's typified by these photographic prints on a piece of timber.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19You unscrew that and put your blotting paper in there,
0:07:19 > 0:07:24screw it back up again and then when you've written with your wonderful fountain pen, that blots it.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- What's it worth?- Erm...
0:07:27 > 0:07:2948.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I would hope she would get it down to about...
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- 30-35?- 30, I would have thought.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37On a bad day it might be 20 to £25.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38On a good day it might be 50.
0:07:38 > 0:07:4140, yeah. I'll see if she'll take 35.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Shall I ask her?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I can only ask.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51Excuse me, love, would you do that for 35 for us?
0:07:51 > 0:07:5335? All right, 35.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Thank you.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- Geoff, yeah, 35.- Yeah. - That's fine. That's OK, yes.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Can I just have a quick look.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- You can, yes.- Do you like it?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- We both like it.- Yeah. - That's half the battle, isn't it?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Yeah.- As long as you like it. - It seems nice.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I've bought it now, so you've had it!
0:08:13 > 0:08:19Yep, too late, Phil. The Reds are way ahead of you and have their first item in the bag.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Charles, what on earth have you got there?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Have a look at them, John.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Now these are Continental.- Yes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:31- OK, they have had some restoration. - There's a big crack on that one at the bottom.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35But, they are such good high decorative pieces
0:08:35 > 0:08:38from the late Victorian period. They're quite good.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42You worry me. I just know what you hear when you go to auction, the auctioneer looks at it
0:08:42 > 0:08:45and goes, "They've been through a bit of a tumble there."
0:08:45 > 0:08:50- The name of the game, John, is condition.- And there's a whopping great crack on it!
0:08:50 > 0:08:54John, I'm telling you, they're a pair. They're great.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- I know a pair is good. - What's your absolute best on them?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- We might find them if I can persuade John and Catherine.- 70.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02They're not my scene.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04£60.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I'm almost going to say...
0:09:06 > 0:09:08there's a guarantee of a profit.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13- I want that in writing.- 99.9%. - No, I'm not going to go.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Well thanks for reminding me. - He's got the money!
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- It's in my wallet, mate. - It's in his wallet!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- I'm not ruling it out. - OK, thank you.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- I still have 35 minutes.- Thank you.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27That's right, John, 35 minutes left.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32Now, what are Mandy and Geoff looking at?
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- If you're going to look at a portrait...- Yes.- ..everybody looks at the face.- Right.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41- You don't look at the quality of a portrait from the face because that's the easy bit to paint.- OK.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43The hard bit is feet and hands.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48- If you look at this girl's hands here, they just aren't special, are they?- No.- Do you see what I mean.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53- That face looks beautiful but there and there...- I know what you mean.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55That doesn't tell you that this is poor,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I think it's really nicely done and is quite competent.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02I just think those two bring it down from being a really good thing.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08- That's why the pair of them are 130 quid...- Right.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- But you need to think about it. - Yes. OK.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Can I ask you to hang onto them.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Catherine is a woman who knows what she wants.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24I wonder if Charles could dissuade her from something that she likes.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- Do you like it?- I think it's something that people would buy.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- What period is it? - It's Cauldon.- It's 1920s.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37- What we've got here is a four piece toilet-cum-wash... - Something's missing.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- You've got the jug... - One, two, three, four...
0:10:40 > 0:10:42No, there's a piece missing.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Presumably there would have been a bucket.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49The wash jug and bowl, here's our soap dish, is it with a liner?
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Yes. A pearl liner for the soap.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Why would there be something else, that's what you pour water into to wash.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- I would say it's complete. It's very striking. - Striking, I like that.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- I like that, too. - More than the vases?- Yes.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Oh, right.- Oh yes, a lot more.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Well, I don't.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10- But, it's in good condition. What's it worth, Catherine? What's it worth?- 80?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13The retail price, which is quite fair, is £120.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Yes.- What's the best price, sir.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- I can do that for 100.- £100.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- I like that. - Is that your best price, 100?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I'll do it for 90, for you.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- I like it.- Go on, then.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I think it would look well at auction.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Can we check this completely and make sure... I'm sure it's fine.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Let me give it my once over as well. - Yes, please. The jug's OK.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36There's no repair.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38The bowl's OK.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41What is this, do you know of Cauldon ware.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44A Staffordshire factory, they were a very good factory.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- 90.- Right, so if we lose on this, you pay me the difference.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Fine, 90, it is.- Hang on! - JOHN LAUGHS
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- Is that a yes?- Yes.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54- Yes. We'll take it.- Thank you.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00And the deal is done, the Blues' second item is safely in the shopping trolley.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03What do you reckon, Carlos?
0:12:03 > 0:12:08The vases are a great statement and for £60,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10those vases are worth £100.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13They really are. Profit is a guarantee.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17The wash set they've bought, it's growing on me but it's too much money.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Well, it's a tough old game, this.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Scary, eh?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28What about this gadget.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33Something left over from a Hannibal Lecter film?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Phantom Of the Opera?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Well, just have a look behind here.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42You get some semblance as to how old this thing is.
0:12:42 > 0:12:49This inner surface is the softest chamois leather that you could possibly find.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53On the outside, we've got a harder more traditional
0:12:53 > 0:12:56but nevertheless, high quality leather
0:12:56 > 0:12:58and the inner core is made of iron.
0:12:58 > 0:13:04The bit that's covering the mouth is this seriously wacky chainmail.
0:13:04 > 0:13:11Now, at the time of the Crusades, we're talking 1,200 AD
0:13:11 > 0:13:14when suits of armour were being made,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17they all had chainmail on them like this.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20So, what's the history of this object?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23The secret is the First World War.
0:13:23 > 0:13:29They were issued to Army personnel who were driving and occupying early tanks.
0:13:29 > 0:13:35The idea being, that if one of those iron tanks was struck by a shell,
0:13:35 > 0:13:39all the bits shied off the inner surface of the tank
0:13:39 > 0:13:41and could damage the personnel.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44These masks are called splatter masks
0:13:44 > 0:13:49and they were designed to protect the men from all those little bits
0:13:49 > 0:13:51that would be flying around inside the tank
0:13:51 > 0:13:54if they had been struck.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I guess, they did an effective job.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Brilliant, isn't it?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01How many of these would have been issued?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Probably quite a few.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06How many have survived? Very few.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Which makes this a rare find. What you think it's worth?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12£50, £200?
0:14:12 > 0:14:17The dealer is asking £950 for this joker.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Keep your eye out for one of those, eh?
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Well the Reds surely need to keep their eyes open for two more bargains.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32We need a quick assessment of where we're going here because we're meandering rudderless.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- Sorry.- That's all right.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36I think we need to try and buy something else
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- otherwise we're going to be under the cosh a bit.- Right.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- We've got the spoons, haven't we? - Do you want to buy those?
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Then we could take our time and find a third item.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48That's item two, then we can take our time on item three, can't we?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Have you seen anything here that you like?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Nothing's stood out for me.- You go and buy the silver spoons.- Yes.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57We'll then go to the other building.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- You both go and do that now.- OK.
0:15:00 > 0:15:06While the Reds find their spoons, the Blues are eyeing up some dishes.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- These are nice. - Chinese?- John, look at those.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12There's nothing on them, is there?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Have a guess how old these are.
0:15:15 > 0:15:21These are Chinese, what they call Qian Lung, or Q-I-A-N L-U-N-G,
0:15:21 > 0:15:25a Chinese period from 1735 to 1795.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27We're going back to the 18th Century.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Let's find out how much they really are.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Hello, sir.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- They are 15 each.- Are they £15 each?
0:15:33 > 0:15:39- Yes, £15 each but I can do the set for £30.- You see, that's good value.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- It is good value.- £15 a bowl.
0:15:41 > 0:15:47- I would guide them at auction, happily, 30 to £50.- Really?- Yes.
0:15:47 > 0:15:52They were never a set though as such, you bought plates as you wanted them.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- Absolutely.- It's not a dining service that's got broken up.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57You bought what you wanted.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Exactly. Listen to Mum, OK.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Listen to Mother, OK?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04He never does!
0:16:04 > 0:16:07But is Mother always right?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- THAT is the question.- Are you sure about these, Geoff, definitely.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16- I think she said 55, didn't she? - We'll go with them.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17- Yes?- Item two, yes.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22I would have liked them at 50, but I don't think she'll do 50, will she?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- She said 55, that's it.- Yes.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27We'll take those, yes. Thank you.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29OK, both teams are neck and neck
0:16:29 > 0:16:32and there's 20 minutes left on the clock.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37- Have you seen this?- What's that?- I think it's a cheroot holder.- It is.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39It's marked "real block amber".
0:16:39 > 0:16:44- It's amber.- It probably is nine carat gold and dated 1923.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46People collect smoking memorabilia?
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Absolutely. It's in its original fitted case. I quite like it.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54I think, realistically, my valuation would be between 30 and £40.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57So, really it's a fair retail price to pay.
0:16:57 > 0:16:5945.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02But I'm sure you can do it for 30.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Maybe a bit more than 30.- >
0:17:04 > 0:17:06So tough.
0:17:06 > 0:17:12Come on, John, some hard-nosed negotiation wouldn't go amiss.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Now, where are those Reds?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- I had a plan and it all went out of the window.- That's what happens.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23That's what happens and were going to spend five minutes of our 60 minutes, going up and down lifts.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25No, we're not. It's not, it's here.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- Is it?- I think, it's making a noise.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Here we go.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33All we want now is for the lift to break down and we get stuck and that's done it, hasn't it?
0:17:33 > 0:17:38I'm not pressing anything and then I'm not going to be blamed.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Where are we going?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43While Phil takes his team for a ride,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Charles opens negotiations for the cheroot holder.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51- I don't think that would make a loss.- It all depends on price.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Let's see what the opportunity is.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Hello, sir.- It's our last item.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57We've got to get a good price.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- How about 35? - We were thinking more of 30.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Go on then, I'll go down to 30 for you.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06What do you think? I don't think we can make a loss at 30.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Famous last words! - What do you think, Charles?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I prefer the bowls.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I prefer the vases for the financial gain.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17But, if you really feel this is going to make a bit more...
0:18:17 > 0:18:20If I don't persuade you to buy this, I'll feel guilty.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- I can see it breaking even. - I feel guilty about the vases.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29You'll give me all this money at the end to go and buy something that's extremely glamorous for you.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33That's what worries me. I'm leaving it to a decision, for you.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Yes. - Yes, is it a yes from Catherine?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Yes.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Yes, because I think it's very hard to make a loss.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43We might not make money but we won't make a loss.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46It's going to be yes from me as well. OK, so we'll take it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53So with just a few minutes left, the Blues have a trio of antique items for the auction.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Come on you Reds.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- I'm struggling like mad now. - It's so difficult, isn't it?
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- I never, ever thought it would be this hard.- Do you like that?- Yes.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04- Yes.- Definitely.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Yes.- Yes.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14It falls between two stools, this because it's an ebonised torcher
0:19:14 > 0:19:16with these pewter panels.
0:19:16 > 0:19:22It's trying to look like it's Art and Crafts but it isn't, it's too fussy, to flowery...
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- It just isn't.- What's good about it?
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- What's good about it is it's just different, isn't it?- I like that.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30It's a good decorators lot.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34What's the best price on this? The very best.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- The very best?- The very, very best. And it's cash.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42I think the very best would have to be...130.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Would you do that for 120? - It's a bit low, that.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48We'll split the difference - 125.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I think it's... I've never seen anything like it.
0:19:50 > 0:19:57And you could make 60 quid, you could lose 60 quid, so it's a gamble.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01125, I don't think is much of a gamble myself.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- OK.- What do you think?- I like it. I do like it.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09It isn't the best quality thing. It's quite roughly hewn.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- But it is different. - That's my worry.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17I'm going to let you two have an argument on your own while I go this way. I can't stand arguments.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22We're not going to argue. We'll let him have his own way, that's fine.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25We'll take it. But I've got the money!
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Yeah, that's fine. We'll take it.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32So just in the nick of time, the final item is in the bag.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- You bought it? - I let him have his own way, yes.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- And we didn't have a row. - And you just admitted it on national television.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43That's it - time's up.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49The Reds splashed out and bought the Mauchline ware blotter for £35.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53And caused a stir with the coffee spoons for £55.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56And a tall cool £125 was paid for the jardinere stand.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Well you certainly had a jolly good shop up there.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Oh, marvellous, Tim.- Yes, fantastic.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08So now give me the bad news. How much?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- £215 we spent. - That is a number, £215.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- That is a grown up number. - Yes, it is.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15So £215 - I would like, please, 85 smackers.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Don't look at me.- All right. - I've got it, be careful with this.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22The management has the 85 smackers. That goes straight across to P Serrell.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- He loves this moment.- Be careful. - I love it when you give me money.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Well it's obviously going to be popular, whatever Philip does.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Why don't we, in the meanwhile, remind ourselves what the Blues bought?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38They went for the walking cane at £30.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41£90 was paid for the Deco wash set.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45And the cheroot holder was a smoking £30.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Listen, have you had fun? - We've had a great time, absolutely wonderful.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56- Yes, thoroughly enjoyed it. - You got on incredibly well with your mother, didn't you?
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- Yes and with Charles, of course. - Yes, of course. A few panics there.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Just a few hiccups. - Yes, how much did you spend?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- £150.- £150, perfect!
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- I thought it was very good. - Straight down the middle.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Yes.- £150 left over lolly. - You want it?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Yes, I do. Thank you very much. - It's counted, it's correct.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Thank you. Well that's absolutely splendid.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Now, Charles, do I smell a pair of vases?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Well, Tim, I'm going to strut my stuff, OK?
0:22:23 > 0:22:28You're going to strut your stuff. You get on with it, boy, while the rest of us go off somewhere
0:22:28 > 0:22:31absolutely glorious.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Over the years Newby Hall has had many owners.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42Each one making his or her mark on the house and its surroundings with varying degrees of success.
0:22:42 > 0:22:49The original owners of this house just loved the designs of Robert Adam.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53They loved all these simple pastel colours.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58They like the neo-classical mouldings, the simplicity,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00the simple reeking of quality.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07Even the corridors in the main house are decorated in the classical style.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Just look at this gorgeous Etruscan red.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Oozing Italy.
0:23:12 > 0:23:20But in 1892, Robert de Grey Vyner inherited the place and added on THIS extension
0:23:20 > 0:23:24in the completely different Jacobean style -
0:23:24 > 0:23:29which would have had poor old Robert Adam just turning in his grave.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Robert Adam might well have been crying into his beer,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42but I tell you what was created here,
0:23:42 > 0:23:48this first floor billiard room, I think, is drop dead gorgeous.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Here we've got a purpose-made space for gentlemen to enjoy billiards,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56with this lovely raised ceiling.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00It's lit from above through the stained glass panel,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03or alternatively through these billiard table lights.
0:24:03 > 0:24:10And in this gorgeous room we have a number of objects which reflect the family's interests
0:24:10 > 0:24:15at the end of the 19th century and through the 20th century.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20The piece that I think is really rare and rarely super is this little chap.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24And if I'm very careful not to damage the baize,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28if I put it there, we can have a natter about it.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30What do you think it is?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Well it's an odd ball thing, isn't it?
0:24:33 > 0:24:39I think this thing dates from around about 1680 to 1720.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42This top ring has been lined with soft leather
0:24:42 > 0:24:46and the hinges on either side
0:24:46 > 0:24:50would have allowed this thing to open like that...
0:24:50 > 0:24:53and into it you would have thrust a toddler.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57You've got it - this is an early baby walker.
0:24:57 > 0:25:03Having got little Lord Fauntleroy firmly clipped into the middle,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06he could then set off safely around and about.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09And what happens when baby gets a bit bigger?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Well this thing has been so beautifully made
0:25:12 > 0:25:14that you are able to lift the outer ring
0:25:14 > 0:25:18and you can adjust the height of that leather padded piece,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21depending on how quickly your child is growing.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Hopefully, by the time you get to the top notch,
0:25:25 > 0:25:29the little brute is able to walk around, unaided.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31The big question today is: are our brutes -
0:25:31 > 0:25:33that's the contestants -
0:25:33 > 0:25:37likely to be able to survive the auction, unaided?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51How lovely, we are in Yorkshire.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Leyburn to be precise, at Tennants Auctioneers.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- Rodney, it's a treat to be here. - It's a pleasure to have you, Tim.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00First up for the Reds, we've got the blotter.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Does that do it for you?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I quite like Mauchline ware, yes,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07and you've hit the right sale today, cos we have a collection in
0:26:07 > 0:26:11and we don't have a blotter. So that's a plus point.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15It is a little bit out of fashion, but it's quite romantic.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20But they must have been a clever lot making these things out of shards of timber.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22It comes from all over the place.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Very nice collectables, what do you think that's worth, roughly?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- £30/£40.- Brilliant, £35 paid.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29You see, right in the middle.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Next is the cased set of anointing spoons.
0:26:33 > 0:26:39I guess relating to Edward VII's Coronation, just at the turn of the century.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Nice to have a complete set, all ready to go.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43All ready to go where?
0:26:43 > 0:26:47All ready to go right at the bottom of the side board, where they were sat for 109 years!
0:26:47 > 0:26:52- That's the thing.- Why they are in brilliant condition is because nobody's ever used them.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- And they never do.- Why not? Because they're useless.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- How much would a person pay for this lot then?- £40/£50?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Oh, dear. £55 paid.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06We might be a bit shy on that. Lastly is this jardinere stand.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Well, you either like it or you hate it.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13It's very much that late 19th Century cottage industry school of handicrafts, really.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18It's not everybody's cup of tea, but if the right people are here today
0:27:18 > 0:27:19it should be 50 to 70, and even more.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21They paid £125 for it.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Yeah, well that's fine. But it's 50 to 70 I would be happy with.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- I will sleep.- OK, £50 to £70.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32They are certainly going to need the bonus buy so let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Sadly Mandy and Geoff aren't going to be able to be with us today,
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Mandy's ill and Geoff's looking after her.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44- So Phil, we're going to have to do this ourselves I'm afraid, all alone.- This is worrying.
0:27:44 > 0:27:50Now I have to remind you that your team spent £215 and you had £85 to go off and make some purchases.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55- I think I bought two very appropriate things.- I don't like the look of this at all.- You ready?- Yes.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- Now, I know what will be under that. - Yes, you do. Oh, look!
0:27:58 > 0:28:00I thought that was quite appropriate,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- it's for measuring your waist! - Is it?
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Yes, I don't know how on earth it works.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- Isn't that a cool bit of measuring kit?- It certainly is.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- So, it goes...? - But it's not big enough!
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- What's it got to do with your waist? Oh, I see!- It's a tailor's measure.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- "Proportionate waist measure."- Yes.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21So if you're a tailor, there's some kind of permutation you would use.
0:28:21 > 0:28:27- I don't think you sort of stand in there and.- No.- I thought that was a cool thing.- It's beautifully made.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30And then I've always thought that size is important...
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- and it's a big chopper. - Yes, it's a meat cleaver.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Yes, it's a good thing though.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39- And I paid, I think, £30 for the two. - Did you really?- Yes, and I think they are really cheap.
0:28:39 > 0:28:45And what has this waist measuring device got to do with a meat cleaver, then?
0:28:45 > 0:28:49- That's just detail, Tim. You're always after detail. - No, no, it just...
0:28:49 > 0:28:54- Where's the linkage? - There is no linkage at all. The truth of the matter is
0:28:54 > 0:28:56the fact that they wanted £20 for that and £20 for that.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58I said, "Can I have the two for 30 quid?"
0:28:58 > 0:29:03- You just can't walk by something without bargaining. - No, it's good stuff.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07- And it wouldn't surprise me if the two made £50 plus.- £50 plus?- Yeah.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10I'll tell you what we'll do, we will ring Mandy and Geoff.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15We will tell them what you have bought in the way of a bonus buy, these two items.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19We'll ask them whether they want to go with it or not.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21- And we will report back. - Oh, good stuff.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24But meanwhile for the audience at home, let's find out
0:29:24 > 0:29:28what the auctioneer thinks about Phil's...meat cleaver.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30HE SNORTS
0:29:30 > 0:29:35So Rodney, there you go, there's a serious-sized chopper for you.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40- It sure is. Perfect.- For butchery? - Yes, I wouldn't doubt that at all.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44So it's not an executioner's axe. That is that resolved, definitely for butchery?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Definitely for butchery.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49If we swap now, you get this thing
0:29:49 > 0:29:55which is a tape measure for measuring waists or something.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00- It's a tailor's square, isn't it? The date of this is going to be around about...1918.- Yeah.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03So it's a very nice thing, actually.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- That is a bit of a collector's item. - How much?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08It's got to be £40 to £60. A bit more, maybe.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11He'll be delighted - £30 paid.
0:30:11 > 0:30:16- That was a bargain.- How the dealer comes to sell two such incongruous pieces I don't know.
0:30:16 > 0:30:22- Absolutely and both good in their own right.- It's a queer old world.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27Catherine and John's first item is this magnificent walking stick.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31It's a really nice thing. It's a lady's one, it's quite small, isn't it?
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Yes, but it's quite a usable thing.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35So how do you rate it, money wise?
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- £20-£30. - £20 or £30. They paid £30.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42They might just wipe their face with that if they're lucky.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Next is the wash set, which is stylish, isn't it?
0:30:46 > 0:30:48In its polyagonal form.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49Not really for me.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54The problem is, being an auctioneer, I have sat in the rostrum for so many sales
0:30:54 > 0:30:57and failed to find buyers at a suitable price for these things.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01They just seem to be very, very unpopular. Very unpopular.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Oh, dear. How much?
0:31:03 > 0:31:05- £30-£40.- Oh lordy, £90. There you go, they paid too much.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10Catherine went bonkers for the cheroot holder.
0:31:10 > 0:31:15Which in this PC, non-smoking environment, wouldn't get a lot of use, would it?
0:31:15 > 0:31:17No, it'll never get used again.
0:31:17 > 0:31:24Whereas spoons, you literally close the lid and put them away, never see
0:31:24 > 0:31:29them again, that you could put a little vitrine and just put them on display somewhere.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32And say, that was from the time when I used to smoke.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- What's it worth now?- Not much.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- Well, no. £20-£30.- OK, fine.
0:31:36 > 0:31:42She paid £30. I think this team is looking remarkably as if they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44So let's go and have a look at it. Yeah!
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Now, Catherine and John, you spent a magnificent £150.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50You gave £150 to Charles.
0:31:50 > 0:31:56Now, Charles is a bit of a devil when it comes to £150, aren't you, Charles?
0:31:56 > 0:31:59I feel when we come to a wonderful auction house, we need to spend money.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02We need to buy quality. Because life's too short...
0:32:02 > 0:32:06and I bought this. £140.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- Put your glasses on, Catherine. - I need to look at this closely!
0:32:09 > 0:32:11It's a horn handled paper knife.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- May I look?- 1866.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- That's ivory.- So it's old ivory?
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Absolutely. Mid-19th century. And just read the inscription on there.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21And that will mesmerise you.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25And to me, it will make money.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30- If we're going to be mesmerised, I'd better have a read myself! - It's difficult to read, to be honest.
0:32:30 > 0:32:37"This paper knife was presented to Mrs Saltmarshe by Robert Hodgson, Esquire, CE"
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- for Civil Engineer.
0:32:40 > 0:32:46"The horn forming the handle was found 25 feet below the bed of
0:32:46 > 0:32:50"the river when making the bridge at Skelton, 1866".
0:32:50 > 0:32:53So how old's this antler then, Charles?
0:32:53 > 0:32:55We're going back many, many years.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57You could be going back 100,000 years?
0:32:57 > 0:33:02Absolutely. And to me, that is value in itself. That story is wonderful.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Isn't that wonderful?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- Yes, actually, I do find it quite interesting.- I spent £140.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13OK, it's a lot of money, but I could see it making £150-£200.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15At the same time, it could be £80-£120.
0:33:15 > 0:33:20- We are either going to accumulate high, or fall low. - Or lose everything!- Correct!
0:33:20 > 0:33:21That will be your decision.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25And that decision will be made just after the sale of your first three items.
0:33:25 > 0:33:30But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about it.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32This is rather good, isn't it?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Yes. This is a real collector's item.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39The handle here could be 10,000 years old, it doesn't matter, you know, it's just been lost.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41It's very, very old.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44And somebody has a very cleverly made it into this letter opener.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47And then given us the inscription, 1866.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49So, what d'you think it's worth?
0:33:49 > 0:33:53The sale estimate would be £80-£120.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55OK, £140 was paid.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59If you could get it for £80-£120, it would be a very good buy, a very good investment.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03And for an honest Yorkshireman to have it on his desk, what could be nicer?
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Absolutely. Nobody else but an honest Yorkshireman!
0:34:06 > 0:34:09On that happy note, we'll move on to the auction.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Well, Phil, this is unusual, isn't it?
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- There's nowhere to hide, is there? - We've got no team at all. This is it. Finished.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- I know I upset people, but I never thought this would happen!- I know.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28We have to make this decision at the end of this -
0:34:28 > 0:34:30go with the bonus buy or not.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Mandy and Geoff haven't picked up their telephone, so they
0:34:32 > 0:34:37haven't even got the news that you bought that chopper for them.
0:34:37 > 0:34:42But they definitely said that they would go with anything that Philip Serrell bought.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47- Help!- But anyway, the fact of the matter is, we'll have to make that decision when we get there.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49A joint decision?
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- That's you and me together on this. - We're in this together.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55We are. We'll discuss that when we get to the nitty gritty.
0:34:55 > 0:35:00- Tell me what Rodney said!- Now listen, you've got your jardiniere stand, which it says here you found.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04I sort of found it for them, and I just thought it might stand a chance.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06But having looked at it again this morning,
0:35:06 > 0:35:09I think it's time for a sharp intake of breath.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12I think it's on the Woolworths end of the shopping scale, do you know what I mean?
0:35:12 > 0:35:18He's put £50-£70 on it. I don't see it doing any better than £100, but who knows?
0:35:18 > 0:35:22Anyway, we'll find out in a minute, because the first lot up is the blotter, and here it comes.
0:35:22 > 0:35:27- 188...- It's quite exciting standing here, isn't it?- A blotter.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31Of all the Mauchlin ware we have today, we have not got a blotter.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33£20, start me low and go on. £20.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37£10, then. 10 bid, £10 only bid. 20.
0:35:37 > 0:35:3930. At £30 on my right.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Look round for the last time.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45- Disappointing.- You'll be a long time to find another. All done at £30.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50£30 is minus £5. Well, Mandy and Geoff, that's not so good.
0:35:50 > 0:35:58Lot 189, the case set of six silver coffee spoons. £20? 20 bid. 30.
0:35:58 > 0:36:0140. 50. £50 here in the front row.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Just wants one more. Come on!
0:36:03 > 0:36:04And out over there.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Are you all done this time, at £50.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08Selling at 50.
0:36:08 > 0:36:13- £50, that's minus £5 on that.- Just not quite getting there, are we?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Just not quite hitting the button, Phil.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18I'll be satisfied with this if this isn't quite there.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22The Arts and Crafts ebonised and pewter jardiniere stand...
0:36:22 > 0:36:24They're not here to share this with me.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- No, I know.- My hour of weakness!
0:36:27 > 0:36:30£50, then, start me at 50. 50. 60.
0:36:30 > 0:36:3470. 80. 90. 100. 110. 120.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- I'm flabbergasted.- 140. 150.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39160. 170.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43£170 on my left. At £170.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48There now at £170.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- 170.- That sold for £170.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed, really.- Hey, you!
0:36:54 > 0:36:58Well, I can't talk, because I ran the thing down! That's unbelievable.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- It's good, isn't it? Yes.- You're actually plus 35 at the moment.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03What about your chopper?
0:37:03 > 0:37:08No, we're going to go for it. The chopper and the waist measurer. Life is for living on the edge, TW.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11All right, then. Fair enough. I'm taking a lesson from Mr Serrell here.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13We're going to go with the bonus buy.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15And here it comes - Phil's chopper.
0:37:15 > 0:37:21194. The butcher's meat cleaver and this tailor's square.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24The two items together. Start me at £50.
0:37:24 > 0:37:25£20 then.
0:37:25 > 0:37:2820 bid, right there at £20.
0:37:28 > 0:37:35At £20, the tailor's square and the cleaver. 30. 40. 50. 60. 70. £70.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38£70!
0:37:38 > 0:37:41£70, all done.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Plus 40, Phil.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- Unbelievable.- I'll stick with you!
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Overall, it is plus 75.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- How good is that?- Yeah, absolutely. We'd better phone up and tell them.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54Shall we tell them that they made £20 profit, and split the rest between us?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56No-one will ever know, will they?
0:37:56 > 0:37:59No, they'll never know. No, we can't go doing that.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02No, fine. Plus 75, that could be a winning score, you know.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06I shan't tell the Red team. I am the Red team! I shan't tell the Blue team!
0:38:06 > 0:38:07Don't tell the Blue team, no.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10You know all the lines in this programme, don't you?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21It's brilliant to have some contestants.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24I won't ask you whether you've been talking to the Reds, because
0:38:24 > 0:38:28we haven't got any Reds, so you've not been able to chat through their result.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- So you're absolutely unaware of the Red team's score. - Totally.- Absolutely.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37Good. First up, your first item is the walking cane, and here it comes.
0:38:37 > 0:38:43Lot 210, the late Victorian horn handled walking cane. £50.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46£20, anybody. In good order. £10.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- Oh, no!- Come on!
0:38:48 > 0:38:51£10 only bid. 20. 30, sir? 30. 40.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- Yes!- £40, the bid is over there now.
0:38:55 > 0:38:5940. Selling this time at 40.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Plus £10. How good was that?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04That's because I didn't like it.
0:39:04 > 0:39:09The 1920s Art Deco pottery toilet set. £50? £50.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11- Painful.- The Victorian ones are not popular now,
0:39:11 > 0:39:13but this is a bit more classical.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17£20, then. 20 bid. 30. 40. 50.
0:39:17 > 0:39:2060. At £60. 70.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22No? At £70. Anyone else?
0:39:22 > 0:39:25At £70. You're out there and there and now - 80.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- Yes!- 90.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32You're out at 90.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35You wiped your face.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Well played.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Unpredicted. That is super.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44Lot 212, the George V amber cheroot holder with a 9 carat gold mount.
0:39:44 > 0:39:50£20? £10. £10 is bid. 20.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51- £20 on the aisle.- Come on!
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- £20, is that to be the price? Are you all done?- No!
0:39:55 > 0:40:00Selling this time at £20. Are you all out at £20?
0:40:00 > 0:40:01Bad luck! Minus £10.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Now, you made £10, you wiped your face, you've lost £10.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07- We've nothing!- Absolutely nothing!
0:40:07 > 0:40:11So what are you going to do?
0:40:11 > 0:40:13- Go for it! Come on! - No, Charles...- Life's too short.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16I'm quite happy we're breaking even.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17- What do you think? - We're going with it.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- What Mother said!- But you just said you didn't want to go with it.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23- I know he did. - You don't want to go with it?
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- No, but I will bow to my mum. - Why are you going with it?
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- Because I said so!- Fair enough!
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- You don't argue with your mum! - No, that's very true.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33- Go for it, come on! - That is the decision, is it?
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- I think it's mad, but we'll go for it.- OK.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39We have the antler and ivory paper knife.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41And the antler will have great age to it.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44A real collector's item. £100.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48100 is bid. £100 only bid, at £100.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50- At £100, anyone else?- Come on.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- Yes.- 120. 130. 140.- Yes!
0:40:53 > 0:40:55At £140. You're out over there now.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58The bid's down here at £140.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02- Come on, one more! - In the front at 140, all done.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Well, there you are, you see?
0:41:04 > 0:41:05Wiped its face.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09- We've not lost.- Very good decision there, Catherine.- Wasn't it?
0:41:09 > 0:41:14It could have been a good decision from me, it's still the same.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Very diplomatic of you, John, if I may say so.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20How lovely that everybody is right. A perfect result.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26- Overall, after all that lark, you've got absolutely nowhere.- Yes!
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Well, this isn't quite our finale line-up.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40In fact, we're rather lonely here on the right!
0:41:40 > 0:41:46But nevertheless, we're very happy to reveal today's result.
0:41:46 > 0:41:52I have to say that today, the team with the lowest score happens to be...
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- the Blues.- Oh!
0:41:54 > 0:41:58In fact, the Blues haven't got any score at all.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02They had £10, they wiped their face, they lost £10.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06They then wiped their face on the bonus buy, which is an extraordinary result, isn't it?
0:42:06 > 0:42:08It is. But not a negative number.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12But not a negative number. I mean, there's been no loss, there's been no shame, there's been no pain.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- Good fun.- It has been a lot of fun, you're quite right.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Anyway, thank you very much for taking part.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22The victors, however, look at this fella!
0:42:22 > 0:42:27- Here we come with £75. I mean, £75 is quite something, isn't it?- It is.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31- What a shame they're not here to take it.- I'm really sorry, and I hope she gets better soon.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- As we all do.- Very well done.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37- You have to pass this on to Mandy and Geoff.- What, all of it?
0:42:37 > 0:42:43Yes, all of it, without your normal commission, the normal Worcester commission which we see happen.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Well, 75, they actually owe me money.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49I thought you were going to say that. Pretty good, though, £75.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51I enjoyed it, I hope that they enjoy watching it.
0:42:51 > 0:42:56£45 on that jardiniere that you found, that everybody dissed.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- Yeah, including me.- Just shows there's nowt so queer.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03And that cleaver, which we selected, was going to be their bonus buy.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- That was another result. £40 on that.- A good thing.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10All round though, tremendous fun. Anyway, join us soon for some more bargain-hunting.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- Yes?- Yes!
