0:00:03 > 0:00:06We're keeping it simple today, Bargain Hunters.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Meet Jan and Jan, and Dave and Dave.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Two teams of Bargain Hunters.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16And, of course, me.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Now, introductions are over.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Let's go bargain hunting.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48We're in the Royal Welsh Showground, in the heart of Wales.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51But our teams won't have time to enjoy the scenery.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56WELSH MALE VOICE CHOIR SINGS
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Oh, no. They've got to go shopping.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Coming up on today's show:
0:01:04 > 0:01:07The Blues try some hard bargaining.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- 45.- No!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12The Reds try hard to trust their expert.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Smell like me.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17What a load of rubbish!
0:01:17 > 0:01:23And I head north to the Lady Lever Art Gallery in the village of Port Sunlight.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27But first, let's chat to our teams.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Well, we're not going to forget anybody's names today, are we,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33because we've got Jan, Jan and Dave, Dave.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- Jan, Jan, Dave, Dave, hi. - Hi, Tim.- Lovely to see you.
0:01:35 > 0:01:42- Now, Jan, you have been great friends with Jan here, haven't you, Jan, for 11 years?- Yep.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47- How did you first meet?- She was my boss and we've stayed friends ever since.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49I hope! Until today, maybe.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52No, you'll be fine after today, I can tell.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54What did you do for your boss?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Where did you work? - I was a part-time housekeeper.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Hotel business?- Yeah.- Lovely.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- Have you always been in the hotel business, Jan?- No. - How did you start?
0:02:02 > 0:02:09I started in around about 1984 when I bought a large house and turned it into a nine-bedroom B&B.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12And then I bought a hotel.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- And then I sold out and bought another hotel.- You're a bit of an entrepreneur then.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- So you know how to turn a bit of money into money, then?- I hope so.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Well, let's hope those talents will extend to antiques.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26You're also rather a fine arrows player.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Well, I try to be. I've been at it for a long time.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Chucking the old darts.- Yes.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33So, how good are you at darts?
0:02:33 > 0:02:39Average, very average, but we go on - it's a bit like this programme - good competition, In It To Win It.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- But you've got an eye for a bargain, haven't you? - I had one really good buy, yeah.
0:02:43 > 0:02:50My £2-odd box of jewellery turned me into £250 for one item.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Did it really? - I was pleased with that.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56I should think you were. It's no wonder you chose her as your team mate.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Do you think you're going to work well together today as a team?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- I think so.- I think so. Well, we won't fall out, that's for sure.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Well, I've heard that before, actually. Very good luck.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Now for the Blues. Dave, Dave.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Hi, Tim. - You've been friends for 25 years.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Indeed. - But didn't you start off as rivals?
0:03:14 > 0:03:19We had teams that competed against each other, in a boat handling competition.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Oh, right. This is sea cadets.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25That's right. And then I went on to become one of the national judges
0:03:25 > 0:03:27and was fortunate enough to be judging his team.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Ha-ha!- But they were very good. - So did you pay him back, then?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33No, I didn't. They were very good.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38- They did win.- Now, Dave, once upon a time you really were one of the boys in blue, weren't you?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I was a policeman in Greater Manchester.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43So how come you're not still a copper?
0:03:43 > 0:03:48I came out after 12 years, after a bit of an incident in Yorkshire,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51which is not in Greater Manchester.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53It involved a man with a firearm.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55He drew his gun and I drew my truncheon, and he lost.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Well, that was a moment, wasn't it?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Actually, you're very modest,
0:04:00 > 0:04:04because you got the Queen's Commendation for bravery. That's right, yes.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- Dave, you've inherited a spectacular collection from your son.- Yeah.
0:04:08 > 0:04:14My son, when he was in Cubs, decided to get his collector's badge and go for spoons, for some unknown reason.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18And we've now got a collection of about a thousand.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21People go all over the world and it's become a bit of a joke.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26People bring back all manner of things. But it's really quite quaint.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- So what do they do, nick them from the hotels?- I don't ask them that.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Whatever they give me is all in good faith.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36So, what are your plans for tactics today? What tactics have you got?
0:04:36 > 0:04:41- We thought we'd buy something nautical...- Surprise, surprise. - ..and maybe a bit of silver as well.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Right, fine. Right, well there's your ambition, good luck with it.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Now, the money moment. Here is your £300. £300 apiece.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49You know the rules, your experts await.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52And off you go, and very, very good luck.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Well, you know what they say about sailors.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Let's meet our experts.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Jonathan Pratt is taking a punt on the Reds.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07And Kate Bliss is betting the farm on the Blues.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14So, Jan and Jan.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- What is it you're looking for today? - Silver, some silver.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Something quirky.- Different.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Nautical.- A good theme. - The theme of the sea.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Seafaring, marine, perhaps? - That sounds good.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Well, that sounds pretty laid back to me. I like the sound of that.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Well, we'll start outside and then we'll go inside.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Let's have a little browse around.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Shall we start in here? There's a lot to go at. Yeah?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45This is more you, is it not?
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Look at that.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Nautical theme.- I know, it's a nice boat. I was looking at that.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54But a little bit out of our budget, unfortunately. Nice ship, though.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59Ah-harrrrr, it's plain sailing so far for Team Dave, but Jan-Jan are all at sea.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01They've even lost Jonathan already.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Come on, Jonathan. Our hour's going.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Come on!
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Move it.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Blues are heading for their first port of call.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Dave, do you like the boat up here?
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- On the plate?- Not really. It looks dead cheap to me.- It looks what? - It looks dead cheap.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Looks dead cheap?- I quite like it. Do you?- He quite likes it.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Well, let's just go with the flow.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Can you tell us a little bit about it?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- It's Royal Doulton.- Is it? What kind of age though?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- 1930s-'40s.- It is a '30s one?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Lovely.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35There's a series of them.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Thank you. They're called chargers.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Let's have a look, shall we? HMS Victory, here we go.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46It's a good-sized plate, isn't it?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Or charger. It's really made for decorative purposes, obviously.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Not made to be used as a plate.
0:06:51 > 0:06:57As well as being glazed, depicting the ship, it's got that moulded feel to it as well,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00so the design comes out in relief at you.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- What about this here? - That is actually done in the manufacture of the pottery.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07That was done in the firing of the piece.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12If we turn it over though, you can see quite clearly the Royal Doulton mark.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Registered in Australia, it says there, quite interestingly.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18So this may well have been made for export purposes.
0:07:18 > 0:07:25And it's in the Famous Ships series, and this one being the Victory, the flagship of Nelson,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28is a particularly nice one, I think.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Let's have a look at the price, shall we, before we go any further? - 88.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33He's quick off the ball.
0:07:33 > 0:07:3688, you're absolutely right.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- It caught your eye. - It caught my eye.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- I quite liked it. I didn't notice it being Victory at first, but that's got some significance with us.- Mmm.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- That could be our nautical piece. - It could be your nautical piece.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52- What about the price though? - At auction I would say it's probably going to be nearer the £50 mark.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56£50-70, I'd probably say. I think £88 is pushing it.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59For retail purposes, that's a fair price. But not at auction.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- Good. So we need to do a bit of negotiating. - Let's go and have a chat.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06That is the name of the game, Dave.
0:08:09 > 0:08:121900s. That's really early.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Cos it's deco style. The deco style starts very, very early.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19That's very bold. FGHI, would be about 1908.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22It says circa 1900.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I'd say it's probably more like 1910. But even so.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31It still very early. It is Liberty's. The marks are up though.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34It's not something you look at as the weight of the silver.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38It's all about the fact that it's Liberty's and it's a strong design.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43The price on there is 225, but there's a good buying public for this sort of thing.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46If you're going to be bold and you're going to go, right, we're going to go for it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- Something like that will do it.- Yeah.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53But if it's going to go for about £150 at auction, we'd have to get it lower than that.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55No, because the lady wouldn't go as low as that.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00An auctioneer would always try and get away with what is seen to be a tempting estimate.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03So if it's £150-£200, it would hopefully generate interest on it.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08- Yeah.- I quite like that, actually. - Well, we know where it is.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Well, we'll leave you to work on them, Jonathan.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Now, how are the Blues getting on?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16£60 is the bottom line.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18£60? What do you think, Kate?
0:09:18 > 0:09:22I think that's fair. What do you think, H?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Well, taking your advice of course, and this lady needs to
0:09:26 > 0:09:31fill the plate, yeah, go on, let's give it a whirl.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- £60?- It's our nautical one, then.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- Yep.- Let's go for that. Let's do it.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I like it. Well done.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Thank you very much. - Thank you so much.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43One down, team Dave, well done.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Now, how's Jonathan getting on at persuading those Jans?
0:09:46 > 0:09:51What would be your lowest price on that?
0:09:51 > 0:09:56Well, I possibly could stretch it to the £150 for you. Do you think? 150?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58You've picked it up, you like it. You've picked it up and you've realised its Liberty.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- That's two good factors.- Yeah.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03And I think the price is fair on it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04- I think it is too.- Yeah.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- We'll go with it, then. Let's go. - Right. Can we have it, please?
0:10:08 > 0:10:14Team Jan is finally off the starting blocks. Thank goodness for that.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17And I have found something interesting too.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22You might think that me wandering around with this thing had something to do with sheep.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Cos the glorious hills of Wales, of course, are stuffed with sheep,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28and a shepherd would have a stick like this.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Actually, this thing has nothing to do with sheep.
0:10:31 > 0:10:38Because this thing, and millions like it, would have been found in haberdashers' shops.
0:10:38 > 0:10:44And if you're a shop assistant, and not terribly tall, you would reach for one of these things
0:10:44 > 0:10:51and stretch up above you and remove an object from one of those shelves.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55And it worked like this. This is a piece of bamboo, hollow up the middle.
0:10:55 > 0:11:01Down this end, we've got some bronze jaws with hatcheted sections here
0:11:01 > 0:11:03to enable you to get a firm grip.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Down the other end, we've got this handle arrangement,
0:11:06 > 0:11:11and if I squeeze the handle, hey presto, the jaws shut.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15So, say my hat is way up there on the top shelf,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18and I want to get it off the top shelf, what the girl would do is,
0:11:18 > 0:11:22she'd reach up like that with this thing, which is called a long arm,
0:11:22 > 0:11:26she'd then grip it very, very tight up there, she'd get it off the shelf
0:11:26 > 0:11:33and she'd then remove it and present it to the potential customer and say, "Does the hat fit, sir?"
0:11:33 > 0:11:38Well, actually, the hat does fit, and this is a most interesting piece of kit. What did it cost?
0:11:38 > 0:11:42It's yours for £60 off a stall down the way.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44That's pretty good, isn't it?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48I've seen perhaps a dozen of these sell over the last 10 years
0:11:48 > 0:11:54and I would guess the average price at auction in London would be around £300-£400.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58So, how does that grab you? Ooh!
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Where's Jonathan?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02He's wandered off again.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05We've lost Jonathan again. Where is he?
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- Well, he's obviously looking at something interesting.- Jonathan!
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Oh, Jonathan, do stick with your team, old fruit.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Sorry.- Come on! - How much is the platter?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- You tell him, Jan. Hit him with your crutch.- Do you like the hip flask?
0:12:21 > 0:12:25That's quite nice. That's a glass and silver one combined.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Let's have a little look at that.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33That's great. So you could use the bottom, the silver a bit, as your little cup.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36So, all very neatly done.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40The class is in good condition. And this one is really nice quality,
0:12:40 > 0:12:44you can see how the glass has been faceted and cut around the top.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47It's not just a bog-standard moulded glass flask.
0:12:47 > 0:12:53And this has been gilded inside to protect the silver, really, from the liquor.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55As well as for decorative purposes.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Have a little look, see what you think of that.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- That feels light. Is that...Is that not silver? - It's marked on the side.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Yes, it should be hallmarked on the top and on the cup, on the base.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08There we go. That's right.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10So, what age are we talking, Clive?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Let's look at the hallmark. Yes.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15It is London 1907.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19So it's George V, so it's over 100 years old.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20- Do you like that?- I do.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- It's quite handy. - What about the price?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- It's 195.- 195.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29A bit of room for manoeuvre there, surely?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Would you do 150?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Now.- Now, this very moment?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Immediately.- Yes, go on.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39We'll do 150.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41You're a good man. Thank you very much.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Oh, we've got a deal! Have we got a deal?- Thank you very much indeed.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- Happy days.- Well done. There's no messing with you lot, is there?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51No messing indeed.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54And Kate seems very happy with her Daves.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I think it's going really well.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00I don't think I've been with such decisive contestants for quite a long time.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05They know what they want and they are getting good prices. I've got no complaints.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09The Jans are less decisive. I think I'd better have a quick word.
0:14:09 > 0:14:15- Listen, you're halfway through and you've only bought one thing. - We've got to hurry up.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17You have. You've got to what they call buck up.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21I hope that's done the trick.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24How much are your daguerreotypes?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I've got one of those in my family album.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30£28 is on that one. £28. This is really early photographs.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Yes. And basically it's like printed onto the back of the glass.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37This is like cut velvet. This is how they would have done a very early photograph.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40This would be the alternative to having a portrait miniature.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42You're talking 1860s-1870s.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Is this collectible? What would you do with it otherwise?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47You know, an ordinary person wouldn't buy it, would they?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50They do. Dealers buy them. People collect them.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- It's quite damaged though, isn't it? - But the price is quite good on it.
0:14:54 > 0:15:01It's a novelty item in that respect. You don't often see it on Bargain Hunt. Would you accept £20 for it?
0:15:01 > 0:15:02I could do 20 on that one, yeah.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- £20? Do you think so?- Yes.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- It's a bit of history. - Well, you said it like that to me now, Jonathan.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11You've put doubt in my mind.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15I always like to have that little come out and the end and say, it's your decision.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Of our budget, it's not much spent.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21That means we've got some more to play with on the last object and it leaves me a nice sum.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26- A princely sum!- A fiver.- We'll go with the daguerreotype. Thanks very much.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- It's a bit of a mish-mash. - Come back to it.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- It's been converted to a lighter. - What do you reckon?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I'd leave it as it is.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Let's go down a bit.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I think we'll wander round here then maybe try the next shed.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Team Dave...!
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Team Dave! You've lost focus.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51What about the bottle?
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Wow.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57That would take a while, wouldn't it, to get through that?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59There's a lot of splash-ons.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Let's ask the lady.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05It's the factice, which is the shop display dummy,
0:16:05 > 0:16:10and then after the initial display, they were sent back and they were smashed.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- SMASH - Like that?- Like that!
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Don't say it again, please.
0:16:15 > 0:16:21So if you turn it round, on the other side it's got the fact it's a factice, a shop display dummy.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25So what would be your best price on this?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28How much have you got left?
0:16:28 > 0:16:33We've got £130. So if it was £125, it would give me a fiver.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35But we have to leave him some money
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- to go and buy another present. - A tenner sounds great. £120.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43£120? I've got no idea if that's good or bad, to be honest with you.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I mean, it's a big bottle of perfume, nonetheless.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49It's collectible. You know.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51You're ladies - your choice.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Go on. I've pushed it for the daguerreotype. Your choice now.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I mean, it's modern collectible.
0:16:59 > 0:17:05I can imagine Tim sitting there with the auctioneer now and saying,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08"What on earth have they bought this for?!
0:17:08 > 0:17:11"What a load of rubbish!"
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- It's not cheap tat. - What do you want to do?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- Go on.- Her decision.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20She said yes. Right, we're done.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Thank you very much. Job done.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Dying minutes for the Blues. What can Kate pull out of the bag?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30I think we've got seven minutes, guys. What do you think?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Picked you up some nice stuff. - Yeah? Shall we have a look?
0:17:33 > 0:17:39- They've got the original bits in them.- Yes. What can you do on the salts for us?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42£60?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- Do you like those, guys? - They are attractive.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Little boat-shaped salts.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50They've got their blue glass liners, which is quite nice.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- And there's a pair.- They're a pair.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Hallmarked on the side. Quite nice, clear hallmarks.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Have a look. You have that one.
0:17:58 > 0:18:04- £60.- I think we need to go for it. We are at the end.- Let's do it.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06We haven't got much time, have we?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10I think they'd polish up a bit better, actually. I like the feet.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- They're identical. - Will you do 50 for us?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14At a push? Can you do 50?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I'll meet you halfway.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18£55 I'll do.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20That gives you a good chance.
0:18:20 > 0:18:26- I like the fact they've got their liners too.- I think we'll go for it.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Go for it. Let's do the deal.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- We're done.- It's a deal. Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Salty cellars for some salty sea dogs.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Well done, Kate.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Right, that's it. Time's up.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Let me out of here!
0:18:46 > 0:18:51Time's not up for our experts though because they need to spend the leftover lolly on a bonus buy.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Will our teams choose to use them at auction?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Well, we'll have to wait and see, won't we?
0:18:57 > 0:19:02But before all that, let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09They started off with this Art Deco silver bowl.
0:19:09 > 0:19:15Then Jonathan persuaded them the daguerreotype was a bargain at £20.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20And finally, they took a punt on the Hugo Boss perfume bottle.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24listen, you lot, I think you did very well. What did you finish up spending?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26£290.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29£290? That is such a good total out of £300.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- That means there's only £10 left for JP to go off.- Yes. - Where is the £10, please? Lovely.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Now, listen, which piece is going to bring the biggest profit then, Jan-Jan?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Oh, definitely the aftershave.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Aftershave? You agree with that, Jan, don't you?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- No, I don't.- Oh, lovely. - I still think the dish is going to.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47It's got the Liberty mark on it and that'll go.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- You've had a run around today, haven't you, Jonathan?- Oh, yes.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I'm going to present you with a whole £10 note, right?
0:19:53 > 0:19:59That's your pocket money to go and spend and find something really stellar for us.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Thank you very much. - And I have a horrible feeling we're going to need it!
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Good luck, girls. Why don't we check out what the Blues bought, eh?
0:20:08 > 0:20:13Bradders spied the decorative HMS Victory charger.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18They all felt the silver and glass hipflask was worth the £150 price tag.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23And with time running out, Kate found them a pair of silver salts.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29- How did you get on then, chaps? - I think we did really well. Got some good stuff.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- What's your favourite bit? - A little hip-flask.- Hip-flask.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35That's typical that, isn't it?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Senior Service, all the rest of it, they've got to have a nip. Got to have your tot of rum.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41That's right. It was empty, though.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Not for long! What's your favourite bit?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Can't disagree with him.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46- It's a really lovely piece.- Is it?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Right, that's your favourite. And how much did you spend overall?
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- £265.- £265. I want £35 of leftover lolly, please.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- Oh, you've got it there. £35.- Thank you very much.
0:20:57 > 0:21:04- Got anything in mind though? Have you spotted something already? - No, I haven't.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07We won't tell them then. Good luck, chaps.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Thank you. For me though, and you, and all the rest of the world,
0:21:11 > 0:21:16we're about to head off to the Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight. How special is that?
0:21:23 > 0:21:31Port Sunlight in the Wirral is a model village that was built in 1888 by a soap tycoon.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36Lord Leverhulme was an avid collector of fine art and furniture.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40He wanted to share his enthusiasms with his workforce,
0:21:40 > 0:21:43so in 1922 he built this magnificent gallery,
0:21:43 > 0:21:48slap-bang in the middle of the workers' model village.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53He was born in 1851, the son of a grocer,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56and made his fortune selling soap.
0:21:58 > 0:22:04But his taste in paintings was not exactly squeaky clean.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05If we take this canvas,
0:22:05 > 0:22:10it's by far not the largest in the collection, nor the most important,
0:22:10 > 0:22:17but it does sum up that Victorian industrialist's taste in art.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22What we've got here is a girl that's lying on a marble slab
0:22:22 > 0:22:25with absolutely nothing on.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28She is as naked as a jaybird.
0:22:28 > 0:22:34At first glance, you just have to admire the technical skill
0:22:34 > 0:22:37of the artist, Lawrence Alma-Tadema.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41She's just come from the Roman baths, where she's got jolly hot,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44and she's come to the tepidarium,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46which is what this picture is entitled.
0:22:46 > 0:22:52She's come to the room to cool down, having had her bath and sauna.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Now the artist, Lawrence Alma-Tadema,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58in this High Victorian period of art,
0:22:58 > 0:23:04produced works that specifically harked back to life in Roman times.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07And on the basis of Victorian prudery,
0:23:07 > 0:23:11where everything, including furniture legs, is covered up,
0:23:11 > 0:23:17all of that prudery is thrown to the winds to the altar of art.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22And in artistic terms you're able to bare all
0:23:22 > 0:23:25without causing offence to the audience,
0:23:25 > 0:23:29because this is fine art.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32And Alma-Tadema, producing pictures of this ilk,
0:23:32 > 0:23:38became the most prolific and highly paid Victorian artist of all time.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45But Alma-Tadema isn't the only one with an eye for the ladies.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49This is a Pre-Raphaelite painting,
0:23:49 > 0:23:53one of several in the collection here at the Lady Lever.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57And it's by Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Now, the early Pre-Raphaelites
0:23:59 > 0:24:02included Rossetti, Holman Hunt and Millais,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05and in 1848 they set up something called
0:24:05 > 0:24:08the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
0:24:08 > 0:24:14The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was set up as a reaction to the stuffy formality
0:24:14 > 0:24:17of the artistic authorities, principally the Royal Academy,
0:24:17 > 0:24:24and by harking back to an earlier period of art, ie before Raphael,
0:24:24 > 0:24:29they felt that the early medieval period of art
0:24:34 > 0:24:37was the true, honest and proper root of artistic endeavour.They created a stir at the time,
0:24:37 > 0:24:41principally because of the bright colours that they employed
0:24:41 > 0:24:46and the sensuous way in which they displayed their womenfolk.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49This picture is entitled The Blessed Damozel,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52which is appropriate for Rossetti,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56because not only did he compose a poem to this subject,
0:24:56 > 0:25:01but it harks back to the mythical figure of Damozel,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03a creature who had died
0:25:03 > 0:25:08and from heaven wistfully looks down onto Earth,
0:25:08 > 0:25:14at her lover, longing for him to join her in the afterlife.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Now, this is particularly poignant for Rossetti.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22His wife, his model, his muse, Elizabeth Siddal,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26had died of a drug overdose in 1862
0:25:26 > 0:25:29and her characteristics, principally,
0:25:29 > 0:25:35were her bright red hair, delicious eyes and sensuous red lips.
0:25:35 > 0:25:42So this is surely her sitting as Damozel would have done in heaven,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46looking down at Rossetti gazing wistfully to the sky,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48waiting to join her.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51What a lovely, romantic notion.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53The big question is today, of course,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56will our auctioneer be falling in love with the team's lots?
0:26:02 > 0:26:07How lovely to find ourselves on the banks of the River Severn in Shrewsbury
0:26:07 > 0:26:10at Halls' saleroom with Jeremy Lamond.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11- Welcome.- Thank you.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15So first off, JJ, that's Jan and Jan to you and me.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18We've got the Art Deco bowl.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Interesting little bowl, very Art Deco handles.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26Silver, but the marks are rubbed, which is a problem for the market.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Marked "L Ltd,"
0:26:28 > 0:26:31which is not Liberty, it's Lanson in this case.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- Not Liberty?- Not Liberty. I don't know what they paid for it, but...
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- They paid a lot of money. - ..£30 to £50.- What?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- It's not Liberty.- It's not Liberty.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- They paid £150. They thought it was Liberty.- No, it's Lanson.- Oh, dear.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- So that's a blow.- Could be.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Right, what about the daguerreotype?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Good-looking fellow.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Yeah, must be after 1840, when it was invented.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59- There's lots of them about and it's not in a union case...- No, quite.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01..which is what the collectors want.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03So I think £10 or £20.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- They paid £20. So that's about the right price, perhaps, to pay.- Yeah.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10So, if we're going to really splash out, though,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13this is the object to do it with.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16This lovely large sample of Boss fragrance.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19How do you rate that? When do you think it was made?
0:27:19 > 0:27:26Well, it can't have been made before 1985, because Hugo Boss didn't make fragrance before 1985.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27- Did he not?- So that dates it.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Well, it says on the back here "dummy".
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- So presumably it's not got anything smelly in it.- It has. Vinegar.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Vinegar? Really?- Yes.- Gosh.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- It's a shop display, isn't it? - I've rather gone off it.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41And what's it worth?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Well, what do you pay for a press-moulded glass empty bottle?
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- Hmm, tricky, isn't it? - Tricky one, that.- £5 to £10.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50You reckon? You wouldn't splash out and spent 10 to 20, would you?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52- Could do.- Yeah. Lovely.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53They paid 120.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Right.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Lovely. They've got a huge dark hole opening up
0:27:58 > 0:28:02underneath their arrangements today, and they're going to need the bonus buy,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09OK, Jan-Jan, you gave Jonathan £10 of leftover lolly.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- We did. We were generous, weren't we?- You certainly were.- Ouch!
0:28:12 > 0:28:17So the poor chap's gone off with a £10 note and bought you a bonus buy. What is it, Jonathan?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Are we ready for this?
0:28:19 > 0:28:20Oh, lovely!
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- There we go. - I like owls.- A little glass owl.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28- It's moulded glass, as you'd expect, really, for under a tenner.- For £10!
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- UNDER a tenner?- Ooh, yes, I'm giving it away, aren't I?
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- You are.- Under a tenner. But it's quite a decorative little object.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37There's two little defects, a chip there and one on the base,
0:28:37 > 0:28:40but otherwise I think it's a rather pretty object.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43I paid £8 for it. It's an early-20th-century thing, I'd say.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Do you like owls, Jan?
0:28:46 > 0:28:48I do.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52It's about the same as the rest of the rubbish we've bought!
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- About a tenth of the cost, though! - Yes!
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- No, I think it's very nice.- Oh, well... That's good, then. Lovely.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Jonathan's relieved by that, because you spent...how much did you say?
0:29:03 > 0:29:08- £8.- £8 on this Lalique-lookalike paperweight.- Yes, exactly.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10You could use it for a paperweight.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15It was the sort of thing... Lalique did their car mascots, and it's the same sort of size as one of those.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Same sort of size, same sort of idea. Anyway, enough of that.
0:29:19 > 0:29:24For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Jonathan's little owl.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28- There we go, wise old owl for you. - Well, it's a frosted glass owl.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32It's not Lalique, it's not Sabino...
0:29:32 > 0:29:34it's probably not old.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- Is it Woolworths?- It could be.
0:29:36 > 0:29:42- Late Woolworths?- Eastern European or Polish, but possibly not a wise buy.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44The man only had £10, in fairness.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Leftover lolly was only £10.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49He had to go and buy something so he paid eight for this.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Well, he might get his money back because...owl collectors
0:29:52 > 0:29:55and paperweight collectors, that's cross-fertilisation.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57All right, lovely, thank you.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00That is it for our Reds. Forecasting a bloodbath here.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03And now for the Blues.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07Their first investment is in the form of HMS Victory.
0:30:07 > 0:30:13Yeah, Royal Doulton Series Ware, moulded plate, probably 1930s.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Very popular old England theme.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Good subject, and it's in good condition.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25- So what might it be worth, then, on a good day, with the wind up its tail?- I think £40 to £60.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29£60 paid, so they're in the frame there. Jolly good. Well done, Blues.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- Next is the little silver-mounted flask.- Right.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- How do you rate that, Jay? - Silver, obviously, cut-glass.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Elegantly done. 80 to 120.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Right...
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- Is that good?- No.- No.- 'Fraid not.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Have to try harder. £150 they paid.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Well, they might get that at the end of the day.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53It's not damaged, it's not particularly worn.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55And it's quite fragrant.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Do you think it's more for fragrance than something that goes down the cakehole?
0:30:59 > 0:31:03I think it could be fragrance rather than hunting or hip-flask,
0:31:03 > 0:31:06because you have to unscrew the top and it's got no cover,
0:31:06 > 0:31:10and it's a bit inconvenient to take into the field.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14Anyway, the estimate's 80 to 120, they paid £150.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16That is not all that hopeful.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20What about those squat tiny little salts?
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Cauldron-shaped salts like that are very common indeed.
0:31:24 > 0:31:29So if the teams are searching for something unusual that might take off
0:31:29 > 0:31:31this is not they.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- No. Bog-standard, isn't it? - Pretty much.- Mm.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38- So what's your estimate on the silver salts?- 30 to 50.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42Our team paid £55 for them, actually. So they're on a bit of a hiding there.
0:31:42 > 0:31:48- They might get away with it. - They might do.- But the prospect of making a PROFIT is very small.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52Therefore they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's have a look.
0:31:52 > 0:31:58Right, Dave and Dave, you spent £265, you gave the lovely Kate Bliss £35. What did she spend it on?
0:31:58 > 0:32:03Well, I scoured the fair and I must have been thinking subconsciously
0:32:03 > 0:32:08- that Dave was a spoon collector, so I came up with these.- Wow.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12Now, they're not perhaps the most exciting bonus buy under the sun
0:32:12 > 0:32:14but the reason I bought them
0:32:14 > 0:32:19was to have the best chance of making a profit, which of course is the name of the game.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22So have a little look at them. They're in their original case.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26They are English silver, they date from 1938
0:32:26 > 0:32:30and they're all hallmarked on the reverse,
0:32:30 > 0:32:32as you'd expect for Sheffield, 1938.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35And they're what's known as Hanoverian pattern,
0:32:35 > 0:32:38so the very tips of the handles just tip up a little bit,
0:32:38 > 0:32:42which is known as Hanoverian pattern. Quite a commercial little set really.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47- So what would you expect to make on it?- I think we might make £10 profit on a good day.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Do we know what you paid?
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- I paid £20.- £20.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54And you think they might make £30?
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- I think they might.- Yes. £5 a spoon.
0:32:57 > 0:33:03- What do you think about it, Dave-Dave?- Yeah, they might have a bit of profit in them.- You think?
0:33:03 > 0:33:08- We'll...consider it.- Well, six solid silver spoons, in a case, for £20.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11I would say there's a lot of places you'd go
0:33:11 > 0:33:15and you'd get six plated spoons in a case for £20, but solid silver ones?
0:33:15 > 0:33:18I think we have to consider this quite carefully, Dave-Dave.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22- We'll see.- You're looking rather down in the mouth, mate.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26- No, we'll see.- Dave's the spoon man. - No, they look good, they look good.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- It depends on our other products, doesn't it?- Well, it certainly does.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32You have to sell the first three objects, then you make
0:33:32 > 0:33:35your decision as to whether you're even going to go with this £20 risk.
0:33:35 > 0:33:40Now, for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's spoons.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44There you go. Just what every auctioneer loves to receive.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- There we are.- Half a dozen silver teaspoons in their case.
0:33:47 > 0:33:501938, silver teaspoons, cased.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54Good presentation case. Obviously someone was terribly excited at tea,
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- there's a bit of a tea stain here. - Nasty stain.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- But we think £20 to £30. - Do you?- Yes.- Perfect.
0:34:00 > 0:34:05Kate Bliss paid £20 for it and she has every chance of a huge success.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09- We shall try very hard for her. - As usual.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- Are you taking the auction today? - I am.- Super. Should be a riot.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24OK, Jan-Jan, we're at the edge now, how are you feeling?
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Fine, fine. Yes, we're going to make lots of profits.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31That's lovely. Is she always like this?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Most of the time, yes!
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- Just as well you're good friends. - Sometimes she behaves!
0:34:36 > 0:34:42OK, the Hugo Boss aftershave bottle, which you paid £120 for, he's estimated at £5-10.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- He doesn't know what he's talking about.- It's a typo.- A typing error!
0:34:45 > 0:34:51- He says it's full of vinegar or a similar straw-coloured liquid. - Rubbish.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53- Rubbish.- For display purposes.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56And it dates from after 1986.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00- He's had the benefit of looking all this stuff up.- Yes.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02I'm only reporting it, right? Don't shoot the messenger.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- OK, we'll try not to.- There we go.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07So there is a bit of a problem, frankly.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12- Yes, quite a big problem.- And you've spent the 290, which is lovely, and I love it when you spend up,
0:35:12 > 0:35:15and I really hope that Hugo Boss does the business for you.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20- Yes.- First up is your silver Art Deco bowl, and here it comes.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22The silver two-handled Art Deco bowl
0:35:22 > 0:35:25by Lanson Ltd, Birmingham, circa 1930.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Again, various commissions here.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32- 20, 25, 35. At 35 to start it. At 35, 40.- Come on, keep going. - Here it comes.
0:35:32 > 0:35:3445, commission bid.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36At £45.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40- It will keep going, don't worry. - £50 now, new place at £50.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Internet is out, at £50 now, at 50?
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- He'll come back in. - Lady in the room at £50. Selling?- No!
0:35:46 > 0:35:50- Oh, dear. £50, that's £100 down the doo-doo.- For goodness' sake.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Lot 139 is the daguerreotype of a gentlemen, Victorian.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57What about that? £10, bid me? £10 to start it. Little one, £10?
0:35:57 > 0:36:02Who's got 10? 10 at the back. 10 at the back of the room now, 12 now.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05£12, 15. 18. At £18. Lady here.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Go for 20, go for 20.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- Come on.- Bid is in the room. £18.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- 22 against you, 25.- A bit of profit.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17- £28, still with you at 28. Your bid. - We might get back that £100!
0:36:17 > 0:36:18Selling at 28...
0:36:18 > 0:36:21That's brilliant, girls. That's plus £8. Well done, Jan.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23The shop-display Hugo Boss.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Please bear in mind the contents are not original.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30Do not splash it all over, or anything. £10, who's got 10?
0:36:30 > 0:36:34- £10? £5? Oh, internet, 10. £10. - More than that.- Paid £120.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Not original contents, internet, please note. £10 I've got.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40At 10? £10 on the internet, then.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44We're selling it for 10 only?
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- Dear, oh dear. There's a smell about.- Yeah.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52- Minus 110.- Should have done more than that, just for the bottle. - I'm quite amazed actually.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54I make that minus 202.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- Minus 202, OK?- Yes.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- Not so brilliant, really. - No, not a very good score, that.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02You spent 290 and 202 down the drain.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06Anyway, we had the £8 left over for the bonus buy.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- What will you do about that?- We'll go with it.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13- On that happy note, we're going with the bonus buy? - Yes. We're going to have our owl.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16The fishy owl. OK, here it comes.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20The opaque glass owl's head, paperweight, showing for you there.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22What about it? £5, start me.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Fiver bid immediately, at £5.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26At five, here in the front row.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27Who'll have a go? At £5?
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- Come on.- At five, any more? £5 for the paperweight?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- It's your bid. 10 on the internet. You're out.- Yes!- There we go.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- Someone with taste! - £12, with you. Internet is out.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- At £12. It's in the room, a live bid in the room.- We've got profits!
0:37:42 > 0:37:44At £12, you've got it, looks like.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47£12, that's brilliant, Jonathan.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- I'm spent.- Plus four.- Well done.
0:37:49 > 0:37:55You're four pounds up on that, which means overall you're minus £198, which is not so brilliant.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56It's under 200.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Exactly, under 200. Don't tell the Blues a thing, right?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- No chance!- Good. Thank you.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Now, Dave-Dave. Do you know how Jan-Jan got on?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Not at all. They've not told us.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18We didn't want you to find out either. Now, how do you rate your chances, Dave?
0:38:18 > 0:38:21I think we'll make on the salts.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26I'm not too sure about the hip-flask thing, and I really don't know about the plate.
0:38:26 > 0:38:31- Right, so you've got two doubtfuls. What about you, Dave? - I'm keen on the plate and the salts.
0:38:31 > 0:38:36- And if the worst comes to the worst you've got the spoons to go back on, right?- That's right. Maybe.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- Don't look at me like that!- Maybe.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42Anyway, first up is the Victory decorative plate and here it comes.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- The Royal Doulton HMS Victory plate, the famous ship series.- Oh, Dave.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Lot 160, commissions here at £35, £40, £45.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52At 45.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54We want more, come on.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56The ship series plate at 45.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57Any more? At £45, selling at 45.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- On, no.- Come on, behave.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02£15 off, bad luck, lads.
0:39:02 > 0:39:0445, minus 15.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- Here we go.- Now your flask.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11Silver-mounted cut-glass flask, Percy Whitehouse, London, 1907.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Lot 161, and again, interest here at £70, £80, £90.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17At £90, on commission at £90.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19- Give it some.- At 90 it is.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22At £90, all done at 90?
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Selling it, then, for £90.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Oh, this is... 90, minus 60 on that.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31- Can't believe that, can you, Kate? - That's a lot.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Now, here come the salts.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Birmingham 1918, lot 162.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Bid me £20 to start. £20, where's 20?
0:39:39 > 0:39:45- At 22, 25. 28, 30. 32, 35.- Come on.
0:39:45 > 0:39:4835 against you, sir. 38, 40.
0:39:48 > 0:39:5142, 42 still with you, sir, at £42.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Second row, at £42.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58He's selling at £42, that's minus £13.
0:39:58 > 0:40:03Minus 13, 60, 73, 83, 88.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Minus £88, chaps.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- Minus 88.- Oh, guys. - Shouldn't laugh really, should you?
0:40:08 > 0:40:12But it could be a lot worse, I tell you. This could be a winning score.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17- What are you going to do about the spoons? Go for it.- We've got to go for it.- You're going to go for it?
0:40:17 > 0:40:21I think we're all in agreement, aren't we, that six spoons,
0:40:21 > 0:40:24solid silver in a case, for £20 is a pretty good find for Kate.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- Absolutely.- So you're going to chance it, yes?- Yep.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30- Yep.- All right, we're going to go with the bonus buy. Here it comes.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33The cased set of six Hanoverian-pattern silver spoons.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Here we go, Kate. All on you now, girl.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38- No pressure(!)- No, none at all!
0:40:38 > 0:40:44Sheffield, lot 166. At 15, £16 I'm bid. At 16, 18 now?
0:40:44 > 0:40:47At £18. Front row at 18.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Who else wants a go, at 18?
0:40:49 > 0:40:51- Front row.- Oh, come on. Oh, come on!
0:40:51 > 0:40:5520, just in time. £20, you're out.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57At £20, front row? Yes? 22.
0:40:57 > 0:41:02At 22, at 22, you're out now, sir. At £22. Front row, then.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04The bid at 22...
0:41:05 > 0:41:08- Just out of trouble, Kate. Well done.- Amazing.- Well...
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Overall, you're minus 86.
0:41:10 > 0:41:15You're minus £86. Don't tell the Reds a scrap, because this could be a winning score.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17It will be.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- Well, teams. Been chatting, have we? - No.- No.
0:41:26 > 0:41:27Not about results?
0:41:27 > 0:41:31- Not about results.- You have no idea? - Everything else but not results.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35There are some similarities between our teams today. Both have made substantial losses.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37That should come as no surprise.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Both teams made a profit with their experts' bonus buys.
0:41:41 > 0:41:46- Well done.- So both of our experts are feeling very pleased with themselves, I hope.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51But one team, sadly, made nearly double the losses of the other,
0:41:51 > 0:41:56and the running-up team that managed to have that amazing feat
0:41:56 > 0:41:58- were the Reds.- Oh, dear.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Minus £198 you are, Jan-Jans.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Are you sure you've added that up right?
0:42:05 > 0:42:10No, but that's the score that we're running with, minus 198.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13I do not propose to go through the whole humiliating total for you.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- Thank you for that. - Doesn't matter a scrap.
0:42:16 > 0:42:21You've been great fun, it just wasn't your day today in the auction room, quite frankly.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23- No.- But you had a nice time? - Fantastic.- Yes.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27I can reassure you that it wasn't really the day for the Blue team
0:42:27 > 0:42:32in the auction room either, except that they only managed to lose £86.
0:42:32 > 0:42:38- So, there you have it.- Well done. - That nice little profit on your set of spoons, Kate...- LITTLE profit.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41£2, of course, helped tremendously.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45- Have you had a nice time, chaps? - Fantastic. Met some wonderful people.- Yes, it's lovely, isn't it?
0:42:45 > 0:42:50The team spirits on this programme are quite extraordinary. Anyway, we've had a great time.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?- ALL: Yes!
