0:00:02 > 0:00:08Oh, I do love a good read. I love a good book, particularly if it's got a happy ending.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Is there going to be a happy ending today?
0:00:10 > 0:00:15You're just going to have to wait and see as we go bargain hunting.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Four friends divided by rivalry,
0:00:41 > 0:00:45passionate about history,
0:00:45 > 0:00:49consumed with the desire to win - this story is a cracker.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Where's it set?
0:00:52 > 0:00:58In the heart of Wales, at the Royal Welsh Showground, in fact here.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Coming up, Fiona and Anna run around like headless chickens
0:01:04 > 0:01:07while Zoe and Loll put their feet up.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11And I head off to the Lady Lever Art Gallery.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Right, let's get on with it.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19I am surrounded by friends, literally surrounded by friends.
0:01:19 > 0:01:25We've got sisters Zoe and Loll-Loll for the Reds,
0:01:25 > 0:01:29and we've got Ann-Ann and Fifi for the Blues.
0:01:29 > 0:01:35- Sounds like a panda convention but actually they're all bosom buddies, is that right?- Yes.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Were you all at the same school together?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42In junior schools, yes. In secondary school, us three were together.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- So there's lots of cross-pollination here?- There is.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49You're all great buddies, right? But you're sisters?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- We are.- Yes.- And you're great friends?- We are.- It's wonderful.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Were you close then, when you grew up, Loll?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59We've not always been close.
0:01:59 > 0:02:06- Oh.- When I was younger, Zoe and my eldest sister Julia used to gang up on me quite often
0:02:06 > 0:02:11- and dress up as ugly old women and pretend to come and take me away.- Oh!
0:02:11 > 0:02:17- So were you traumatised by lovely Zozo?- Definitely.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- Perhaps this is not going to be such a happy...- But we're really close.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- You patched it up after that.- Yes.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- Zozo, you have a penchant for dressing up?- I do, yes.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30You also have another rather unusual hobby.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Yes, I'm a qualified blacksmith and welder.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Just what exactly is your knowledge of antiques?
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- We used to go to auctions with my dad when we were little...- I see.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46..and I kind of liked dabbling for a while, so we'll see.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Well, we'll find out as we go along and very good luck.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Now, Fiona you're determined to give these girls a run for their money? - Absolutely,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Fiona, where does your knowledge of antiques come from?
0:02:57 > 0:03:03Some years ago, I bought a gypsy caravan, which made me interested in getting stuff from auctions.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06But you don't restrict your travel just to caravans?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09No, I've been to a few places.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13I travelled in India for six months with my daughter when she was five.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Did you? - I like to go places that are warm.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- Anna, are you as well travelled as Fifi?- No, not as well travelled.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25- No. I lived in France for a time, did a bit of nannying and interpreting.- Oh, yes.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30There's been a few disasters, notably when I went to a friend's wedding
0:03:30 > 0:03:33and to spend New Year in Germany and left my suitcase in the car.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- Does chaos follow you?- Pretty much.
0:03:37 > 0:03:44I knocked myself out in a cookery lesson with a wooden rolling pin, pretending to be a weightlifter,
0:03:44 > 0:03:50- dropped it on my head.- Lovely.- Yes. Most days are like that really.
0:03:50 > 0:03:57We have a health and safety officer on the show today everybody will be glad to hear. They will be alerted.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Anna, what are your tactics today to beat your mates?
0:04:01 > 0:04:07I'll do anything to beat them because they are determined that they're going to win, and so are we.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12I love it. The battle of the wills. Anyway, we come to the money moment.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Here you go, 300 smackers apiece. - Lovely, thank you.
0:04:14 > 0:04:20You know the rules, your experts await, off you go and good luck.
0:04:20 > 0:04:26Two determined pairs of friends - we've got a fight on our hands today.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Our two teams need two experts.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Counting the cash for the Blues is Kate Bliss.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39And wringing out the notes for the Reds is Jonathan Pratt.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43So what do the teams think of each other's chances?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Well, Anna's taste is just appalling.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48They'll find something very gaudy.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51They'll think it's worth a fortune and it's not.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- We're streets ahead really, we're going to win this.- We are.
0:04:55 > 0:05:02This drama really is kicking off, but the big question is are they going to stick to the rules?
0:05:02 > 0:05:07They got £300 and an hour to buy three items. Let's find out.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11On your marks, get set, go.
0:05:11 > 0:05:17- We've got £300. Are you thinking you might blow the lot or just keep a lid on it?- We'll leave you a bit, Kate.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Yes, we'll leave you a bit About £2.50.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24OK! At least we know where we stand!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- So it's quirky and unusual?- Yes.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30And garden ornaments. OK, let's have a look in here.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32What about China?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Not overly keen on China, to be honest.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Quirky and unusual - that doesn't narrow it down.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42No, it doesn't. I quite like these actually.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Well, that's quirky and unusual.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Quite sweet, isn't it? They were made during the war for...
0:05:48 > 0:05:51It's made by someone in the Yorkshire Regiment
0:05:51 > 0:05:54and it says, "Remember me," so it's a sort of memento.
0:05:54 > 0:06:02- Because it's in the shape of a heart, it's sentimental as well, isn't it?- Yes.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07- This is machine made, but it's right for the late-19th century. It is certainly quirky.- Yes.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11I quite like that actually. We've only been going a couple of minutes,
0:06:11 > 0:06:15but do you want to have a chat with someone about a price?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Yes.- Because it's quite good to get one tucked aside.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Even more relaxed then.- Yes.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26Zoe and Loll could take the lead here. Watch out, Fiona and Anna.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31I'd like to look at those spoons. Those spoons are quite unusual.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- These ones here, the gilt ones?- Yes.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Georg Jensen spoons. They produced
0:06:37 > 0:06:43a series of commemorative spoons, one each year, starting with 1971.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46They are fully hallmarked and they're dated as well.
0:06:46 > 0:06:52They did a run, I think it was for 12 years, and they're a very good name, very collectable.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57- Georg Jensen is very collectable, but it is relatively modern Georg Jensen.- Right.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59As opposed to the earlier 20th century pieces.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04- Is that not as popular?- It's just not quite as commercial.- OK.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Do you like that piece, Fiona? - I think it's very nice, unusual.
0:07:07 > 0:07:14This is the little mark that you're looking for, which is the oval mark with the name Georg Jensen on it.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15- Right.- That's really important.
0:07:15 > 0:07:22This is Danish silver and then gilded, and this flower is depicted in enamel.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28It's not an antique as such but it is something which collectors will like it because it's Georg Jensen.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33But it just depends on the price, and we've got here 75.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38- It's quite a lot isn't it? - What would be a fair price to pay at an auction for that?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I think between 30 to 50.
0:07:40 > 0:07:46- That's quite a lot to ask him to come down.- It is, but we can see what he could do.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Yes, and then we can always come back, can't we?- We can.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Girls, you're not going to win the game without making snappy decisions.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Is it a pair? - I think it is, it looks the same.
0:08:00 > 0:08:07What you call a three tier, obviously, ceiling light with faceted prism drops. Circa 1900.
0:08:07 > 0:08:13He's got them marked as £110 each for these two, but they are a pair
0:08:13 > 0:08:17and it seems sensible to buy them as the two -
0:08:17 > 0:08:22there's much more call for pairs and they don't come up at auction that often. They're really lovely.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25They're good for a small bedroom, in modern houses, they are a good size.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30And you often find it's the private buyers that go for them.
0:08:30 > 0:08:36They know how much it's going to cost to buy them from a shop and it would be quite a bit more than that.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Who owns this one? I'll just quickly ask him.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43The Red team on a roll here. Have Fiona and Anna bought anything yet?
0:08:43 > 0:08:48That I can do for 50 and leave a little bit for me
0:08:48 > 0:08:51and a little bit for you, hopefully.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I'd like to wander around a bit more.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Come on, Fifi, you need to decide, girl.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Right, ladies, they could do the pair for £90 each,
0:09:05 > 0:09:09that's £180 for the pair, which I don't think is that bad.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14I'd be surprised if you don't get more than £200 for them,
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- and he'll do another fiver on the Valentine.- Oh, great.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22So that's £180 for those, £50 for those, £230 in total.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Two objects bought.- That sounds good, yes, that sounds good to me.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28We can just go and chill out now,
0:09:28 > 0:09:34- then find that last item, maybe a gardening piece, and just enjoy it have a nice walk around.- Brilliant.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39The red team take the lead, two down.
0:09:39 > 0:09:45Fiona and Anna, are you still at the same silver stall?
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- I really like that.- That is lovely. - How much is your hip flask?
0:09:49 > 0:09:54We've 135 on that, my best discount on that can take it to 110.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56OK, can we have a little look?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- That's a really neat one, isn't it? - That's lovely.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03The hallmark's slightly rubbed, but you just make it out.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- It's a great thing to have in your hand or your pocket.- How old is it?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11It's 1915, it's George V, is that right? Yes.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- That's lovely.- What do you think?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Yes. - It's a nice little thing, isn't it?
0:10:17 > 0:10:22- Big enough for you?- No.- I had a feeling you were going to say that!
0:10:22 > 0:10:26It may have had an inscription at some point but it's been erased.
0:10:26 > 0:10:32That can be done, and you just need to see if the silver is thin.
0:10:32 > 0:10:38But to be honest with you, I don't think there are any problems there, nothing to worry about.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43These make great presents for... wedding presents, christening presents,
0:10:43 > 0:10:46and I think that's just a really neat example.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I wouldn't want to pay 110 though.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- No.- Perhaps £80.
0:10:51 > 0:10:58- 80 sounds a bit mean, I think. I'm probably going to be a bit tight on 80.- OK.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02I can probably meet you at 100, take the 35 off.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04We're after a profit, you see.
0:11:06 > 0:11:0990, meet you halfway?
0:11:09 > 0:11:1290 will just about do it.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Yes, OK, we'll do 90.- Yes.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- I think it might stand a chance.- OK.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Great, item number one. Let's keep going.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Fi and Anna are back in the game,
0:11:24 > 0:11:29but let's leave them for a moment and come and see what I've found.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34We all know what a bit of lippo is, right? That's the lipstick or lip gloss that the ladies put on,
0:11:34 > 0:11:38but have you ever come across a lip chair?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Well, that is what this thing is.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44These are called lip chairs.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46They look just like Orkney chairs,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49and the Orkneys and certain parts of Wales
0:11:49 > 0:11:53are where this type of constructed chair comes from.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57What we've got here is, basically,
0:11:57 > 0:12:02a whole lot of relatively narrow rolls of straw.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07The thong-like things are all bark that had been stripped off a thorn,
0:12:07 > 0:12:13so great long strands of this skin have been used instead of string.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18You tie up and bind each of these sausages of straw
0:12:18 > 0:12:22and then you weave those together to form this curricle,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25or rather winged, chair-shaped back.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30But the clever bit is this because, underneath, if you have a look,
0:12:30 > 0:12:35you can see a whole framework here of pine.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39The person that made this chair started off with a sturdy stool
0:12:39 > 0:12:43so that no matter how big a person sits in this chair,
0:12:43 > 0:12:48their weight is all borne by these thick wooden supports.
0:12:48 > 0:12:54It's like a type of straw cladding that's been put on the outside.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59Now these straw chairs were made, as I say, in Scotland and Wales
0:12:59 > 0:13:05but over a very long period of time from the medieval period, it is thought,
0:13:05 > 0:13:12right up until the end of the 19th century, which is when this Welsh lip chair dates from.
0:13:12 > 0:13:19So the big question is, what is a big lipped chair like this worth?
0:13:19 > 0:13:24It's Welsh, it's being sold here in the heart of Wales
0:13:24 > 0:13:28and, not surprisingly, the price is £1,250.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Is that lip enough for you?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37That's lovely, really sweet.
0:13:37 > 0:13:43- What have you found, girls?- Just looking at this here, it's like a sort of trowel thing, very unusual.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45What are they?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49It's a little bookmark actually. You do get some modern ones,
0:13:49 > 0:13:54but if you've got a period one with a hallmark, that tends to sell much better.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- Is it all right if I have a look? - Oh, yes, by all means.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05This one is hallmarked, which is lovely, and it's Victorian, which is great.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08It's 1895, and the handle
0:14:08 > 0:14:13looks as if it is agate actually, which is rather nice, isn't it?
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- That's a sweet little thing. - It is lovely, it's really nice. - Quite unusual.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21They do sell quite well in my experience, fingers crossed.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- 58, hm...- Is that a bit...
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- I'd like to see it nearer 40, to be honest.- Or less.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31We can see what he'll say, especially with the agate handle, that's a really nice feature.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Do you want to flutter your eyelids, Anna, this time?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- OK, where's the man? - See what sort of price.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Let's be having you.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40What would your best price be on that?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- What have we got on that?- 58.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- 55, I'll do it for £50.- 50.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48You couldn't go further down?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50No, I won't come any lower.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53It's a nice little piece and nice unusual handle.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Yes.- And it's nicely hallmarked.
0:14:55 > 0:15:01- It's a gamble. I think £50 is a fair price here.- It could be its money though, couldn't it?
0:15:01 > 0:15:07But an auctioneer would probably put 40 to 60 on it, so you're in with a chance. Can you do 48 just as a push?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10That'd be 20%, no £50.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I'll sell at £50.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Oh, he's hard, isn't he?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15He is hard.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17I've come down £8.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20It's not a walk in the park this, you know.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Can you not knock off that two pounds?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27No, absolutely not. I need to eat tonight.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Oh, Fiona, you're a tough woman too.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- Shall we do it?- Yes.- Come on.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Lovely, thank you very much. - Thank you.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37At last, two in the bag.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Now, what's happened to Zo and Loll?
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Oh, here they are, relaxing, hey?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Cappuccino, latte, hot chocolate, or tea?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Ooh, latte please.- OK, two latte.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52This is the life, isn't it?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Ladies, you won't beat your friends while sitting in a caff.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- You love your looking around, you girls, don't you?- We do, yes.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Listen, you've bought two items.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- Yes.- How's it going so far, Kate?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Well, I can't keep up with them.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Are they incorrigible?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I had to leave at one point, it was getting embarrassing.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13It must be getting embarrassing.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15That happens quite a lot with us.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20So what, is it all double entendre, innuendo, naughtiness?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23No, they were actually really hammering a hard bargain.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- Are they?- The poor chap got such a beating, he thought they were never going to leave him alone.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- It didn't work, though. - But we have bought two things.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33You've bought two things. How much have you spent so far?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- £140.- Well done.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40- £140, so you've got £160 left.- Yes.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43So there's plenty to go for for the last item, isn't it?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I'm sure we'll see a lot knowing these two.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47I think I'll get out of here while I'm still alive.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49SHE LAUGHS
0:16:49 > 0:16:51So which way next, girls?
0:16:51 > 0:16:56The clock is still ticking, stop dawdling, Reds.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59It's almost like a lava one, isn't it?
0:16:59 > 0:17:01It's a German lava-style lamp from the '60s.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Yes.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Quite grotesque, but quite brilliant.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08It is just that, it's like basalt.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- Yes, it's a nice studio print. - It's kind of quite cool, isn't it?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Yes.- You can exfoliate your hands whilst turning the light on.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18You could make a water feature out of it.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I like it, I'm just wondering what sort of shade you'd put on it.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- It would have to be about that big, wouldn't it?- Yes, it would.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- What about the chap on the end? - That is really quite attractive.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- It is.- And this is still German, the one at the end?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33West Germany, yes.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35All the same price? This one you've got 55 on.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Yes.- Is that the same for all of them?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- That's 30 at the end. - The one at the end is £30?- Yes.
0:17:40 > 0:17:46- Is that advertised as 30 or 30 your best price 30?- 25.- £25.
0:17:46 > 0:17:5125. It says West Germany on the bottom.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56- £30, £25.- That's pretty good.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Is that just the remnants of a sticker or something? I think it is actually.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- That's a big lump for not very much money.- It is, yes.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- West German and it's quite nice this sort of oily look to it.- Yes.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09It is quite fashionable, isn't it?
0:18:09 > 0:18:14You could even have it as like an umbrella stand in the hall or something.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- Yes, I think you could. I like that. - £25 is not a lot of money really.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20It's not a lot of money at all, is it?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22It's not something I'd buy. I wouldn't have it in my own home.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- How do you think it will sell at auction?- I saw a West German
0:18:25 > 0:18:30lava pottery of that size for I think about £75 or £80 recently,
0:18:30 > 0:18:35because it is modern design and there's a lot of people interested in that sort of thing.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40I think it's a new market. For £25, I'd be surprised if we don't make a tenner on it.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42So we've got ten minutes left.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43We'll just wander down there, see if we can see anything else,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45and then just come back and buy it on the wire.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Would you be happy?- Yes. Yes. I think so.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- See you in five minutes.- OK. Cheers.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55So our battling friends sprint to the finish.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02- That's a sprint, Reds! - This way, guys.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05We've got about just under 20 minutes.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- OK.- So I think we better really crack on a bit.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11It's getting a bit wet out there.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Just up here, come and have a look.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Isn't that the stall Zoe and Loll started on?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- "Picquot"?- French?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22It is not French, it says, "Made in England."
0:19:22 > 0:19:24SHE LAUGHS
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Very good, Anna, well spotted.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31What have you found? Ah!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33So we found something retro after all.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36It's a great shape, really streamlined.
0:19:36 > 0:19:42This is... You can see "Picquot Ware" on the bottom here, made in England.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46The French do something similar but this is very definitely an English shape.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49They started making them around 1947.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51This, I would say, is '50s, perhaps '60s,
0:19:51 > 0:19:56so fairly early in the run of them and quite an unusual size.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Two minutes we've got apparently. - How much?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Two minutes. - No, how much does it cost?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Don't know. Don't know where the stallholder is.- Let's find out.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07There are only two minutes left, make a decision.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Now!
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Can we take that, please?
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- And that's on the nail, last minute, fantastic.- £25.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- 25 quid?- Yes.- Job done. Happy?
0:20:17 > 0:20:18How much did he want?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- It's got to be 55.- That's fine, we're out of time anyway.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23We are out of time. Happy?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Yes, it's lovely thing, I'm very happy with that.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Well done. Fantastic!
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Now they've hunted, they've haggled,
0:20:34 > 0:20:38and they've finally purchased, and their time is up.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Let's take another look at what the Reds bought.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Zoe fell in love with a Valentine cushion,
0:20:46 > 0:20:50they all liked the price on the pair of chandeliers,
0:20:50 > 0:20:54and finally settled on the West German vase for £25.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I think we did extremely well, and we had time for tea, as well.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- We did.- I don't know about this self-congratulation,
0:21:00 > 0:21:04where is this "I think we did very well" coming from?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- Is that from him? - It's from all of us.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- You all think you've done very well.- Team building, you see.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15- Is that what it is? Good, how much did you spend actually?- £255.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18£255, how much is there left, £45?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- £45.- You got the £45 roll? There we go very beautifully clutched.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Which piece will bring the biggest profit do you think, Zo-Zo?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- I think the vase.- The vase?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32We're all over the shop today, aren't we? I'm not going to
0:21:32 > 0:21:36ask you your opinion, Jonathan, you're already looking very pleased.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I'm going to give you £45 and wish you bon voyage in your search...
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Merci.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43..for a lucrative bonus buy. Good luck.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Why don't we check out what the Blues bought, hey?
0:21:47 > 0:21:51The silver hip flask caught their eye at £90.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56Fiona dug deep for a silver bookmark trowel,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59and they paid £55 for a Picquot ware kettle.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I think you were pretty last-minute there, girls.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- There was a little bit of a... - A bit of a rush wash?- Yes.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07You had had plenty of time and then it just ran away with you?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- That's right.- Had to keep her under control, that's why.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Keeping her under control. - Keep pulling her back.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16It's like calling a pot black.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- It might be.- Thank you, Tim. - Thank you, Fifi.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Now tell me, darling, which is your favourite piece, your bestest best?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- I really like the kettle. - The kettle. What about you darlin'?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- The kettle definitely.- Right we're double kettle wonder here,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31and how much did you spend overall?
0:22:31 > 0:22:36- 195.- OK, please, may I have £105? - There it is.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39By the way, which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42If any of them do, the kettle.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- The kettle. I would've thought so. - Kettle obsessed.- We are.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Anyway here we go, lovely Kate. - Thank very much.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49£105 for you to spend.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- Lovely.- Is it all there? Just check. - I think so, yes.- Do us proud!
0:22:53 > 0:22:56On that happy note, girls, I shall leave you.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59But we will head off to Port Sunlight
0:22:59 > 0:23:02for something really rather tasty.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Welcome to the Lady Lever Art Gallery.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17It is the creation of soap baron William Hesketh Lever
0:23:17 > 0:23:19who built the place in 1922
0:23:19 > 0:23:24when he ran out of wall space at home to hang his art collection.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34'Lever didn't catch the collecting bug until he was in his 40s,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37'but once he started, he couldn't stop.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43'Over 30 years, he bought 20,000 works of art.'
0:23:44 > 0:23:50Lever finished up by furnishing no less than 13 of his houses,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53but they weren't just ordinary houses.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Look at these period photographs from the turn of the 20th century.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Here we've got an image of the music room
0:24:01 > 0:24:05at his Number One Cheshire house up the Wirral,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07down the road at Thornton Hough.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11This is the music room, which was built for Lord Lever
0:24:11 > 0:24:16in the, what he liked to call, "Christopher Wren-style"
0:24:16 > 0:24:21and crammed with Georgian and French furniture and, of course,
0:24:21 > 0:24:27a never-ending series of most expensive Chinese pots
0:24:27 > 0:24:29lining the room.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34Take a look at this photograph. This is the Hill in Hampstead Heath,
0:24:34 > 0:24:38one of his London properties. The scale of the room is breathtaking.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43Lots of Georgian furniture again and the Chinese pots lined up
0:24:43 > 0:24:46all the way round, almost as if they are in a saleroom.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51Also at the Hill is this, the Adams-style drawing room.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56We've got Adam-style mouldings in the ceiling and this is a room
0:24:56 > 0:25:00that is filled with Sheraton and Hepplewhite furniture
0:25:00 > 0:25:03and, of course, lots and lots of watercolours.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08But the crunch moment happened for Lever in 1913.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15His houses were full to the brim with treasures and then he realised
0:25:15 > 0:25:22he needed yet more space, because he bought a monster painting.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27This picture is some 19 feet long
0:25:27 > 0:25:30and it certainly would have encouraged Lever
0:25:30 > 0:25:33to set up the Lady Lever Art Gallery
0:25:33 > 0:25:38for the permanent display of some of these monster works.
0:25:38 > 0:25:44The gallery provided the perfect backdrop for the finest pieces in his collection.
0:25:44 > 0:25:50Lever's transformation from casual art buyer to serious collector was complete.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Of course the big question today is, over at the auction, are our teams
0:25:55 > 0:26:00going to be able to transform their objects into cash?
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Well, we've trotted north-northeast to Shrewsbury
0:26:10 > 0:26:13to be with Jeremy LeMond our auctioneer today
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- at Hall's excellent saleroom. Jeremy.- Hi, Tim.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Good to see you. - Very nice to see you again too.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Anyway for our lucky teams Zoe and Loll,
0:26:22 > 0:26:26their first item is the Valentine's Day pincushion.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Now, that has got a story I guess, has it?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Yes, it's the Princess Alexandra,
0:26:31 > 0:26:37Princess of Wales, own Yorkshire Regiment and she presented
0:26:37 > 0:26:41the battalion colours to the battalion in 1875,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44and this is dated 1875, in Sheffield.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Assuming it wasn't stuck on in 1975.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48HE CHUCKLES
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Well, we have to rely on you in that respect.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53But seriously, it looks absolutely fine, doesn't it?
0:26:53 > 0:26:56It does, it looks good. It's in tremendous condition.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00- How much do you think it's going to bring?- We thought £30-£50.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05£50 was paid. So you need to crack on, Jeremy, if we're going to show much of a profit there,
0:27:05 > 0:27:09but it's an interesting object and, quite frankly, anything can happen.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Next was a pair of light fittings,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I wouldn't exactly call them chandeliers, would you?
0:27:14 > 0:27:18We'd call from waterfall chandeliers, because of the style of them.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- This rippling shower of pendants. - Little chandeliers, we see them all the time.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Prismatic drops - quite bright and sparkly.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29It could have been made at any time really.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34- Yes, I mean they're down as listed as being 1920s for our team.- Style.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Style, isn't it? Because those could be 1960s, 1980s or anything really.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41They haven't gone out of fashion at all.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43No. Are they desirable?
0:27:43 > 0:27:47A pair like that, does that make your heart tremble when you see it.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Good decorators pieces, so yes, they could do well, £60-£80 for the pair.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52- How much?- £60-£80.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57- Our guys are paid £180 for the pair. - Well, they obviously like them.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- Have they gone completely bonkers? - Yes.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Thank you for that honest answer.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05OK. That's a big dark hole they're about to fall into
0:28:05 > 0:28:07with these fellows, we fancy.
0:28:07 > 0:28:15Lastly though, is the gigantic almost lava-like vase on the floor.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17How do you rate that? It's a big pot, isn't it?
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Yes, that's by Shurik Keramik.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24German firm, West German, late '60s.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29The style is not quite fat lava, which is very popular at the moment.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30So they've done well to spot it.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35Late '60s early '70s, and it's an up-and-coming market.
0:28:35 > 0:28:40All the books on fat lava and that sort of genre of West German ceramics art - unobtainable
0:28:40 > 0:28:43at the moment, so they've picked the market just at the beginning of it.
0:28:43 > 0:28:49- Well, they paid a keen £25 for it, which is not much for lump is it? - They should get that back.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- Would they?- Yes. - What's your estimate?
0:28:51 > 0:28:55Well, is 30 to 50, but that's a market that I think will take off.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Ah, well that's intriguing.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59You mean it might bring in more than £50?
0:28:59 > 0:29:01- Give it five years.- Oh, I see.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Actually we are here today, Jeremy.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Buy it.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10On the face of it, they're going to need their bonus buy, let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14Now Zozo and Loll, this is the leftover loll-loll moment, Loll,
0:29:14 > 0:29:21because you gave Jonathan Pratt £45 to go off and find something spectacular - his bonus buy.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Let's have a look at it, Jonathan, what have you done?
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- I bought an aneroid barometer.- Oh. - Look at Tim's face, he loves it.
0:29:33 > 0:29:39It's by Short and Mason, mahogany, boxwood and ebony strung, every home should have one.
0:29:39 > 0:29:44Take it from Jonathan and have a feel. I think actually handling an object, seeing how heavy it is,
0:29:44 > 0:29:48how beautifully made it is and all the rest of it is interesting.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52People are moving back to a traditional style in the modern interior now.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- Yes.- And that's it, I think it's a nice useful practical object
0:29:56 > 0:30:00and I didn't pay too much for it. I wasn't given too much money actually!
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- Well, you were given £45 actually. - Yes, a real lot. Yes.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06What do you think is the date for it, somewhere around 1935 or 1940?
0:30:06 > 0:30:10I think it's a bit of a crossover really, the way it's laid out inside
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- and the geometry because it's in an octagon.- Angular.- Angular,
0:30:13 > 0:30:17which kind of says '20s, so I think it probably is a bit of a '20s thing.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Says "Copyright 1930" on it, so it can't be before that.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Thank you, Tim. Can I borrow your glasses?- What do you think, Loll?
0:30:27 > 0:30:33- I don't think you'll like it very much, do you?- Don't you love it, Loll?- It's not my cup of tea.
0:30:33 > 0:30:39- Is that not what you'd spend your leftover lolly on, then, Loll? - No.- OK, fine.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44Well, we seem to have a moderate reaction to that, Jonathan. Of course the trick is, girls,
0:30:44 > 0:30:47you don't have to take this if you don't want to.
0:30:47 > 0:30:52For the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Jonathan's little barometer.
0:30:52 > 0:30:58Right then, Jeremy, the pressure rising here in the saleroom. How do you rate that?
0:30:58 > 0:31:02I think that is Short and Mason, £30-£50 we'd put on it.
0:31:02 > 0:31:08Good barometer, nice commercial shape, octagonal shape, good dial, does what it says on the tin.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Yes, that's fair enough, isn't it?
0:31:10 > 0:31:16John paid £45, he spent all his bonus-buy money on it, he rates it.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- He should get it back.- A small profit.- Yes.- Good.
0:31:18 > 0:31:23IF the team decide to go with it... which is the million dollar question.
0:31:23 > 0:31:29Next the Blue team, led by your neighbour Kate Bliss, she comes in these parts, doesn't she?
0:31:29 > 0:31:30- Yes, she does.- Close down the road.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33The silver little hip flask.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Well, silver is all right at the moment, precious metals are up in the market.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- What's your estimate?- £30 to £50.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42£90 paid. Stand a chance?
0:31:42 > 0:31:46- It will sell.- It will sell, everything sells.- It will sell.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- Difficult to make a profit on £90. - Yes, tricky.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Next is the little silver bookmarker,
0:31:51 > 0:31:58which is kind of a standard little Edwardian bit of nonsense in a way.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59- Novelty really.- Yes.
0:31:59 > 0:32:05I can remember seeing those things marked up in bric-a-brac type shops for £15 to £20.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- I think that's about right. - They paid £50.
0:32:08 > 0:32:14That's enough, really, but it is a novelty, I haven't seen one recently so they might be lucky.
0:32:14 > 0:32:20- Brilliant, so what's your estimate on the little bookmarker?- £25 to £35.- Well, another uphill struggle.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24We've got two uphill struggles but you know what they say about tea and sympathy?
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Their last item is a kettle.
0:32:26 > 0:32:32Yes, by Berridge and Boyd, the manufacturers of the non-electric vacuum cleaner.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- Really?- In 1932.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37You are a mine of information I have to say.
0:32:37 > 0:32:43- We know it as Picquot-ware which sounds French.- It does.- Northampton. - Is it?- Mmm.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Nothing very French about Northampton, I tell you.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48But very stylish.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Very stylish and still going.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- Are they?- Still going.- We are picking up some vital facts today.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Most important thing is, though, what's it worth?
0:32:57 > 0:33:00It is worth £20 or £30.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- £55 they paid. - Yes, that's fine retail.
0:33:03 > 0:33:09That's fine retail, they seem to have paid three very fine retail prices for their three items.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14They'll struggle at the auction and, by jingo, they are going to need their bonus buy.
0:33:14 > 0:33:22Now, Fifi and Anna, you've have spent £195, you gave Kate Bliss £105. What did she spend it on?
0:33:22 > 0:33:27- I hope I've done the right thing here because I know you girls were disappointed...- Ahh...
0:33:27 > 0:33:30- ..to leave that spoon behind, weren't you?- We were.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34We talked about it quite a bit in the shop so you know quite a bit about it
0:33:34 > 0:33:40but it is obviously George Jensen and silver gilt so with a lovely layer of gilt over the top.
0:33:40 > 0:33:47It's not an antique, it's 1971, but as a piece of George Jensen for a collector,
0:33:47 > 0:33:50it's a nice affordable piece. Have a little look.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52How much did you pay for that?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55I managed to go and negotiate an even better deal.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- Did you?- I managed to get it for £45.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Ooh, that is good. Yes, it's lovely, Kate, I like that.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04The year I was born, 1971.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Me too.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10You're shockers, you girls, I tell you.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14You need to ask Kate one last final question.
0:34:14 > 0:34:21- Do you think is going to make any profit?- I think it's got the chance of making £50 at auction.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- OK.- It depends if the right collector is there, so I think it's got a chance.- OK.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Thank you, Kate. For the viewers at home,
0:34:27 > 0:34:31let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the Jensen spoon.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33- Well, that's pretty glitz.- Isn't it?
0:34:33 > 0:34:38- And always lovely to have that Jensen name stamped on a bit of silver.- Yes.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43- Yes. Artist designed, Rigmor Andersen and Annalise Bjorne.- These are two girls, aren't they?
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Yes, they are, one sadly no longer with us.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49They were well known for floral flatware.
0:34:49 > 0:34:54- What is a single piece like that are worth, do you think?- Like this? £20 or £30.
0:34:54 > 0:34:59Kate paid £45, it's her bonus buy she is relying on it to make huge profits
0:34:59 > 0:35:05- and dig them out of three huge black holes that they've got ahead of them.- Well, I've been wrong before.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10- There you are, the modesty of the man, charming. Anyway you're taking the sale today?- Yes.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11We are in safe hands.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18OK, so how are you feeling, sweetie?
0:35:18 > 0:35:22- Really nervous.- Are you? What have you got to be nervous about?
0:35:22 > 0:35:29- I don't know, I just want to make some money.- Are you all right, Loll?- Yes, I'm OK.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31You look a bit frightened actually.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- I feel a bit nervous.- Are you?
0:35:34 > 0:35:39You spend a lot of time to get to the cliff face - what is going to happen?
0:35:39 > 0:35:43And if the worst comes to the worst you, you've got the barometer to fall back on.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Anyway, first lot up, it's the Valentine.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47The soldier's Valentine, Alexandra
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Princess of Wales's Own (Yorkshire Regiment).
0:35:50 > 0:35:55Already I have interest on commission at £30.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Starting at 30, at £30 it is, 40, five, on the internet at 45.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04- Come on.- On the internet at 50...
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Come on, internet. Come on, internet.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10At 50, it is now... £50 I'm selling it,
0:36:10 > 0:36:13the internet is out... At £50...
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Brilliant, it's wiped its face.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18No profit no loss, no shame no gain.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22The pair of 1920s style glass waterfall style chandeliers,
0:36:22 > 0:36:25commission bids at £90 already, 100 in the doorway...
0:36:25 > 0:36:27110...
0:36:27 > 0:36:29120, 130 now...
0:36:29 > 0:36:33130 with the lady, at £130...
0:36:33 > 0:36:36any more at £130, selling.
0:36:36 > 0:36:43Oh, no. £130, that is minus £50.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48The West German Shurik vase. At £25 start me...
0:36:48 > 0:36:53at 25, where is £25? At 25 bid me?
0:36:53 > 0:36:55- £25.- £20, start it, then.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Oh, Lord.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Who wants it at £20?
0:36:59 > 0:37:01£20? £15, then, to go...
0:37:01 > 0:37:05£15 bid here, at £15, I'll sell it.
0:37:05 > 0:37:10Maiden bid at £15 and selling.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Oh, OK. £15, that is not a result.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18Minus £10 on that, so you are overall minus 60 smackers, girls.
0:37:18 > 0:37:24All right. Well, I'm sorry about that because that German vase was set to sail away.
0:37:24 > 0:37:30And you've done a lot better with the chandeliers than I thought you would do.
0:37:30 > 0:37:35The big decision now is what you're going to do with the barometer? Do you fancy going with it, Loll?
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- I think we got to go for it.- Yes. - Minus 60 could be a winning score.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41We've got nothing to lose. We'll go for it.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45You're going to have a go, well, I don't blame you. Why not?
0:37:45 > 0:37:49We're going with the bonus buy. Jonathan paid £45 for the barometer. Here it is.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53The mahogany and boxwood strung aneroid barometer by Short and Mason, Lot 56.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Mason is a good make.
0:37:55 > 0:38:01Who will start me up £20? £20... a good barometer at £20,
0:38:01 > 0:38:0520 bid internet... I'm selling to an internet bidder at £20...
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Using the internet...
0:38:06 > 0:38:12At £20, it is to an internet bid. All sure at 20?
0:38:13 > 0:38:20- Oh, no.- £20, we've compounded the error here with another £25.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23You are overall minus £85.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Oh, no. It could have been worse.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30Well, it could have been, really, with those waterfall chandeliers.
0:38:30 > 0:38:35Anyway, bad luck, but on the other hand this could be a winning score, no shame in minus £85.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Don't say a word to the Blues.- No.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43- Even though you've got a chummy with them.- OK.- Lips are sealed. Thank you very much, kids.
0:38:49 > 0:38:50- Do you know how the Reds got on?- No.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- No idea? Lovely.- Not a clue.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54OK, fine. How do you reckon they did?
0:38:54 > 0:38:58- Not very well.- Not very well?- No. - How do you reckon you're going to do?
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- Erm...- Bit of a mixed bag.- Just look at busy this room is. - Well, yes.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06They've got internet bidding here, don't be depressed, that's the secret.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10And if all else fails, you got that silver gilt spoon.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15Of course you have, now first up is Kate's flask and here it comes.
0:39:15 > 0:39:1972 is the silver hip flask here William Neill and Son,
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Birmingham 1915, starting at £55...
0:39:22 > 0:39:2560 in the door, five commission...
0:39:25 > 0:39:29At 65 it's a commission bid, at £65 are we all done?
0:39:29 > 0:39:31It could go a bit stronger than that.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34At £65 and selling to a commission bidder, at 65.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40- Sorry, girls. - Dear me, 65, you are minus £25 on that, that's disappointing, Kate.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44- It is, isn't it? - Anyway, here comes the bookmark.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Lot 73, again various commissions here 25, 35 here.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50At £35 on commission...
0:39:50 > 0:39:56At £35, I will sell at £35... You're all finished in the room, and 35...
0:39:56 > 0:39:58He's doing it again.
0:39:58 > 0:40:03- £35, we are minus £15.- Very cheap. - This is not looking good, girls.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05- It's not.- OK, let's hope it's all in the kettle.
0:40:05 > 0:40:10Here is the Picquot-ware 1960s magnalium kettle with wooden handle,
0:40:10 > 0:40:16Lot 74, again various commissions here as £20, £22, £25, at 25...
0:40:16 > 0:40:18- At £25...- Come on.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20For the Picault, 25 I've got...
0:40:20 > 0:40:2528, at £28... 30 now,
0:40:25 > 0:40:2730 in the room against you.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30It's coming to the boil!
0:40:30 > 0:40:31At £30, selling.
0:40:31 > 0:40:39£30, that is minus 25. 25 and 25 is 50. I make that minus £65.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43- It could have been worse. - It's difficult because this could be a winning score.
0:40:43 > 0:40:50Going on the prices that we've realised so far, it's all been pretty low, hasn't it? Think about that.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54- We are going for it.- Yes. - Are you going to go with this bonus buy?- Yes. Yes.
0:40:54 > 0:41:00- Are you really going to go with the bonus buy? Look at me, are you going to go with the bonus buy?- Yes.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- You don't have to do go with it, you know.- We really want to. - You want to?
0:41:03 > 0:41:08All right you are going to go with the bonus buy, the decision is made, here we go.
0:41:08 > 0:41:15Jensen, dated spoon, 1971, designed by Andersen and Annelise Bjorne,
0:41:15 > 0:41:1720 start me, at £20...
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Where's £20 for it? £20 to start...
0:41:20 > 0:41:2720? 20 bid me... 20 bid front row, in the room, then, at £20...
0:41:27 > 0:41:31- Not looking good.- Internet 25, 30 with you...
0:41:31 > 0:41:34at 30 front row against the internet...
0:41:34 > 0:41:37all done 30 pounds?
0:41:37 > 0:41:45£30, that is minus £15, 65, 75, you are minus £80.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Minus £80, girls.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51- I congratulate you because you are a couple of punters, aren't you?- Absolutely.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- You were determined to go with that, absolutely determined.- Yeah.
0:41:55 > 0:42:00And look what happened, you lost £15. But never mind, don't talk to those Reds.
0:42:00 > 0:42:07- No.- And all will be revealed in the moment, because this could be the winning score.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18Well, it's no secret to the teams that we have had some disgraceful results today,
0:42:18 > 0:42:23- but do you know any specifics? Have you been talking to one another at all?- No.
0:42:23 > 0:42:29Absolutely not. Well, there are some whopping losses about and the team with marginally more losses,
0:42:29 > 0:42:37and there is only £5 between the two teams today. It happens to be...the runners-up, the Reds.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39No!
0:42:41 > 0:42:47Minus £85, which by today's standards is not a bad score, I have to say.
0:42:47 > 0:42:52But the victors today who have won by only losing £80 are the Blues.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56Congratulations, I bet they look pleased about it.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00I do not propose to go through the scores - they are all so appalling.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03I'll ask the question, though, have you had a nice time?
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- Brilliant.- Have you had a nice time? - Fab.- We've all had a great time,
0:43:06 > 0:43:11- so join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?- Yes!
