0:00:05 > 0:00:08OK, you 'orrible lot! You've got exactly 30 seconds
0:00:08 > 0:00:12to stop making that cup of tea and find that comfortable chair,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15cos let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Ah, you made it! Well done.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Today we've landed at Hemswell Antiques Centre
0:00:45 > 0:00:48just outside Lincoln, which, in the Second World War,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51was a bomber base.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Well, let's hope our teams don't hit much flatulence -
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- I mean turbulence - in today's show. - HE LAUGHS
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Coming up, the Reds set their sights on a dashing fellow.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05No, not James Braxton!
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Him.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08- I'd take him home.- Oh, I would!
0:01:08 > 0:01:10JAMES LAUGHS
0:01:10 > 0:01:13We're halfway there. We're halfway there, aren't we?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Thomas Plant has to keep the peace...
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- You like Lester.- Yeah. - Be him on your head.- OK.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28'The question is, will their buys hit the target or just bomb at auction?'
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Nice one!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31£90! Look at that!
0:01:31 > 0:01:34It could be a winning score, so not a word, right?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Let's meet those teams!
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- And here they are. Hello, everyone. - Hello, Tim.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Lovely to see you. Catherine, how did you and Jean meet?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45We met at the Mothers' Union about ten years ago.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49We both go to the same church, and we're both involved in Mothers' Union.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53That involves looking after the elderly.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56It says here you're "two crazy Christians". Is that right?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59That's right. We do like to have a laugh.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- We're not all smells and bells, you know.- No.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03So I've been told!
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Yes. Brilliant.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08And, Jean, you're something of the good Samaritan, aren't you?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I try to be, yes. I tried to rescue a man
0:02:11 > 0:02:14who I thought was having a fit. I walked up to him,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18removing my cardigan, saying, "Don't worry, I'm here to help you."
0:02:18 > 0:02:22And he said, "It's all right, love. I'm trying to turn the tap off."
0:02:22 > 0:02:26He was a man from the water board with his arm down a hole.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Oh, goodness!
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- I think he had a good laugh. - Yes, absolutely!
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Are you two ladies going to win today?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Oh, yes. Yes.- Definitely?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Yes.- We've prayed about it, yes.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Oh, you've prayed about it?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Oh, if you've prayed about it, you'll be perfectly all right.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- He's on our side. - A bit of divine intervention!
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Are you quaking in your boots, Blues?- Fearless.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Fearless, you are. You don't care about the power of prayer, do you?
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- No. - So, Cath, how did you first meet?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59We met in a coffee shop. Yes. I had an unusual Saturday off,
0:02:59 > 0:03:04and went along to this little beautiful home-made chocolate shop,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07and sat there drinking it and sampling, as you do,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- and, you know...- Dave came along. - There he was, yeah.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13And he said, "I like the look of your chocolates!"
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Dirty beast!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17That's marvellous. I have to say, Dave,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- you're looking very well on the treatment.- Thank you.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23You can't beat a bit of plain chocolate, can you?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Perfect. But you've had a few action-packed jobs in your time.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31I have. I did ten years in the RAF as an aircraft engineer.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Did you?- Yeah! Very exciting.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Here in Lincolnshire? - Yes, RAF Lincolnshire.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I started at Binbrook on the Lightnings.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Oh, did you? I remember those. They were such sexy aeroplanes!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- Oh, yes. - Such a beautiful-looking machine.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- And so fast!- And so fast.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Did you ever fly in one? - I did, actually.- Did you?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- I mean, they would go vertically... - They do.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56..faster than the speed of sound, or something ridiculous.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Dave, what do you do in your spare time, old fruit?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I like to play tennis.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I enjoy watching sport on TV.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- I like eating out. - It says here you prefer eating out
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- to cooking yourself. - That is true, yes. Yes.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Cath has tried to encourage me to do a little bit more cooking,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19but I'm not destined to be a great cook.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22How are you two going to get on as a team?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- He'll do as he's told. He's fine. - THEY LAUGH
0:04:24 > 0:04:27That's pretty much it. Cath will make the final decision.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31So nothing's different. It's the usual married arrangement?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Pretty much the same.- Good. We got the message there, then.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37This is the money moment. There's your £300. £300 apiece.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!
0:04:41 > 0:04:43And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Well, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy! Whatever's going to happen next?
0:04:48 > 0:04:49And they're off!
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- Here we are!- Yes.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- Have you got a strategy for today? - Yes. Buy cheap, big sell.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Something pretty. Something silver, probably.- Silver.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- Cath likes beautiful things.- I do.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- So sculptures, decorative... - What about you, Dave?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Do you get a say? - Not much of one, no, but...
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- Shall we rake this top floor? - Yes.- See if we can find a bargain!
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Come on. On your way.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Let's carry on and let's go in search of some bargains.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I've just seen this parasol. Let's have a look.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Let's stand up. - Oh, thank you!- Look at that!
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Beautiful, isn't it? - Isn't that wonderful?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Is it undamaged?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Do you know what the stone is? - Tiger's eye, I think.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- It is. It's tiger's eye. - Wow!- Well done.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Tiger's eye is part of the cryptocrystalline-quartz family.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44'Get you, Professor Plant!'
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- I was going to say that. - Yeah, absolutely.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Do you know what we call this play of colour within the tiger's eye?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- No.- No?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- I don't.- It's called a chatoyant, with the play of light
0:05:56 > 0:06:00across the stone. Isn't that absolutely wonderful?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02But we have to think to ourselves,
0:06:02 > 0:06:06at £75, what are we buying? Are we buying the parasol,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08are we investing in the tiger's eye and the base there
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- to be used on something else... - It's a brolly,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- at the end of the day. - It is a brolly.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- And you can get one for a fiver. - You can get one for a fiver.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20So we're investing in the beautiful stone, aren't we?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- In the stone.- What sort of age do you think this...
0:06:22 > 0:06:26That's going to be 1900s, that sort of parasol.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27The stone is gorgeous.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- £75 is a lot of money. - It's a lot of money, isn't it?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- That's something to think about. - It is, definitely.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37There's one strategy, when you're in this sort of market.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40You can look at a number of items in one cabinet,
0:06:40 > 0:06:44and if you can do a deal on two, that might be more advantageous.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Oh, I see. Yeah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48So, is there anything else in here you saw?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50What about those?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52These are the sterling-silver bracelets.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56They're marked sterling silver, with portraits of famous pictures.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58You've got the Blue Boy by Gainsborough,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci...
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Is this quite desirable? - It is quite desirable. £55.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09It's quite interesting, quite fun, a nice little present for somebody.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Especially if they're off to art college or something.- Yeah.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- I quite like that. - It's worth considering.- Yeah.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Does it sound cheap when you rattle it?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20'Are we talking about Thomas or the bracelet?'
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Cheap when you rattle it?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Well, I mean, it doesn't sound clinky,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27because it's very thin silver.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30See, I think £55 is extortionate.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I would pay 20 quid tops for this.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I think you'd be...
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I was born under a very tight star sign, so...
0:07:39 > 0:07:41You going to speak to the dealer, then?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42£100 for the two.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Would you be able to come down as far as...75 for the pair?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50They're asking would you do 75 for the pair.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- 100 is his very, very bottom. - And that's for both, yeah?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56That's for the pair.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00So maybe we could take the brolly for a tenner
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- and leave the £90 brooch behind. - THEY LAUGH
0:08:02 > 0:08:05That's a plan, yeah. THEY LAUGH
0:08:08 > 0:08:12'Now, ladies, can I have one deal straight up
0:08:12 > 0:08:14'and served on a silver platter, please?'
0:08:15 > 0:08:18It's worth looking at, sometimes, these trays.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Although it's plain, you get a lot of bang for your bucks, don't you?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24It's sound. It's got a couple of little problems,
0:08:24 > 0:08:28but, you know, this is probably a hundred years old.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I like it. If I went to somebody's home,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33and I was valuing it as my role as auctioneer,
0:08:33 > 0:08:37I would say it's going to make between £50 and £100.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Probably put an estimate of sort of £50, £80.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Right.- It's not a £30 item, is it?
0:08:43 > 0:08:47It's silver. It's on copper. It's got good legs.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49It's got good handles. It's sound.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51It would grace a sideboard, wouldn't it?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54It certainly would. It would look nice anywhere,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57and they're great things to have, you know, drinks trays.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Stylish thing!- It is, yeah. Yeah.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02'Go bargain, Red Team!'
0:09:02 > 0:09:06I'm sorry. The dealer can't accept 45. He'll take £55.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09OK. Would she help us a bit?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Could she do 49?
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Could she... We just want to get it a fraction under 50.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20Would you please accept £49? You can help them a little.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- 49 would be lovely.- Yes.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27SHE REPLIES OFF-MIC
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- 52?- 50?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Could she not do 49?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33She can't... You can't manage 50?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Yeah? Yeah?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- £50. - Well done. I think we'll do that.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43That's very kind of the lady. The tension was palpable!
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Wasn't it? My heart is racing!
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Everywhere you go these days it's green, green, green!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Recycle this, recycle that...
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Well, actually, antiques can be green,
0:10:00 > 0:10:04and just look what this cunning, clever dealer has done
0:10:04 > 0:10:07in recycling materials into lamps!
0:10:07 > 0:10:10If you were keen on athletics,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13you'd love the discus made into a lamp,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16or boxing, or maybe bowls,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18or football, or snooker.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22He's even made a cricket bat into a lamp.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26On this side we've got an electrical printed circuit,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28we've got a converted telephone,
0:10:28 > 0:10:32we've got a clarinet. Can you believe that?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34A clapped-out set of golf clubs,
0:10:34 > 0:10:38even the back end of a hammer shotgun.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Great, aren't they? And the prices,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44well, they range from between £190
0:10:44 > 0:10:46and about £400.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50So it's quite accessible, and an absolute hoot.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Not quite as oddball, though, as this centre table.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Now, this is really alternative.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00What we've got here is a massive galvanised tank,
0:11:00 > 0:11:05a storage tank that would've sat in a Victorian house,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08except the dealer has taken it out of the house,
0:11:08 > 0:11:12and instead of scrapping it has simply cut out the sides
0:11:12 > 0:11:14into a form that resemble legs.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18All that original riveting is still here.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20He's then covered it
0:11:20 > 0:11:24in a rotten-stone and varnished mixed paint
0:11:24 > 0:11:28which gives it this encrusted, blackish look,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31and, by inverting it, has made it into a centre table.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I mean, how clever is that?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36It's a hoot! It's amusing.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39It's recycled. It's great, great fun.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Well, everything's fun about it apart from the price,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- which is... - HE PLAYS HOLLOW DRUM-ROLL SOUND
0:11:46 > 0:11:49..£990.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00He's a bit of a sweetie, isn't he? A carved Black Forest bear brush.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02There he is. He's doing a dance, as well.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04And that would be a table brush.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Have a look. What do you think? - He's lovely, but, whoa!
0:12:07 > 0:12:11He needs to do a lot more dancing for that kind of money.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15They're quite popular things. Bears have a hold over people.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Let's see. Is there anything else in here
0:12:17 > 0:12:19that grabs your attention?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- Anything, Cath? - Um, that, what you're grabbing now.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28- Yeah?- Yeah. - So, this is a paperknife pen, 1880.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30It's bone, so what you got is a paperknife,
0:12:30 > 0:12:34then you unscrew this bit here... Let's show you.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I thought you might.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Well, you get more for your money, don't you?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- You have a little dip pen. - Oh, I like that.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45And then, just in case that's not enough,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47if you look through here,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50you have a little Stanhope.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53What's a Stanhope? A Stanhope is a little magnifier.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Oh, I see.- I think it's a Stanhope which has lost its lens.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59There's meant to be a lens there. I can see print at the back.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- Oh, I see. OK.- Oh, that's a shame.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04It is a shame. But there's a pipe-tamper there.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I really like that. And how much is that?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10That is... Let's have a look. That's £22.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Oh!
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- I'd pay £15 for that.- £15 for that?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Well, all you can do is phone up and ask.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19We need to speak to the lovely lady at the front about this.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- See if they can phone up. - And maybe they could...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- You could do a deal.- Yes.- Ooh, yeah.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Shall I go and talk to the man about a dog?
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- I think you should go and do that. - Thank you!- Thank you very much.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- Good news and bad news. - Yeah? Go on, then.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36The good news is, they didn't say no.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- To what?- Our offer.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- OK.- But the bad news is they didn't actually get the offer,
0:13:42 > 0:13:43because they're not there.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- That's got everything, hasn't it? - Enamel.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- It's got enamel...- Silver.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Oh, that's pretty. - Gold plate, nice hinge, ivory...
0:13:58 > 0:14:02I think they called them navette-shaped.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- Maybe it was for... - Patches?- ..patches or whatever,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08or maybe little scissors.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Has that got hair? - Yeah. That's plaited hair.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14It's slightly mourning, so that would've been a child
0:14:14 > 0:14:17or somebody lost, somebody dear lost.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I like those carved things at the back.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- OK. These ones here?- Yeah.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- These tusks?- Yeah.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Carved African tusks.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Again, they are going to be ivory.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32So, um, you see, these... Let's see the price of them.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35£85 for carved ivory tusks.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I mean, they've got to be pre-1947.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- And how do you know that they are? - It's all a case of dating them
0:14:43 > 0:14:45and looking at the ivory,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47and making sure it's not too new.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Um, in my opinion they look fine,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53but at £85, I just think, you know...
0:14:53 > 0:14:56What do you think they'd fetch at auction?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Well, 40 to 60, say.- Really? - No. I just don't think...
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- The monkey.- Oh, the monkey, yeah.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06He's rather funny, isn't he?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Monkey!
0:15:09 > 0:15:10German.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Oh, it's a novelty lighter, isn't it?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16So that won't be all that old, will it?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19No. And it's £70.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- Wow!- Rather unusual, isn't it?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- Yes.- He's very comical, isn't he?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Made of pewter. - Would he sell, do you think?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31I think he would sell. He's fun. He's got a good sense of humour.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Just a novelty lighter. - Shall we think about that one?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Yeah. That's a possibility.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Oh, it's Nijinsky! - Lester Piggott, Nijinsky.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43We'd obviously need to get a significant discount,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45cos it would blow our budget in one go.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47And it's signed.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50And what does Mr Thomas have to say about it?
0:15:50 > 0:15:55- I don't know. We need to seek his opinion again, I think.- We do.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- Oh, what have you found? - A teddy.- Teddy.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Lovely old humpback teddy. - Humpback? Has he got a hump?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- He has.- Ooh, he's got a hump. What's his face like?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Ohh! Looks a little bit like Sooty, don't he?- Sooty.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14He's got a sort of plush cover. Quite silky.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- And then... I can hear the straw. - Does he growl?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- No.- No. He doesn't growl, does he?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- But he's lovely, isn't he? - Very nice.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26He's lovely. And, age-wise, pre-war gets you out of a lot of problems,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- doesn't it? What do you think? - 1910, '20.
0:16:30 > 0:16:331910, '20? Yeah, I think around the 1920s, '30s.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- He's lovely. I'd take him home. - I would.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37JAMES LAUGHS I would.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40We're halfway there. We're halfway there, aren't we?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44I think best play is if you have a go at speaking to the dealer.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- That would be great!- Yes. - OK. I think he's that way.- OK.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54'So, is that teddy bear coming to our picnic, I wonder?'
0:16:54 > 0:16:57£80 was the best price.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00£80? Good. I think that's the right side of it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- You think that's OK? - Yeah! I think it's great fun.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- You love it. Hopefully somebody else will.- If we both liked it, somebody else will.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09'What? £80?'
0:17:15 > 0:17:18So, you quite like this bronze, do you?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- I do, but not at that price. - It's at your risk on that one.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Don't panic. Everything's under control.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I'm not one for panicking. So here's your bronze figure.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29It isn't that old, but there's Lester Piggott,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31on Nijinsky.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34"Champion". And it's a limited edition, is it?
0:17:34 > 0:17:39"This particular sculpture"... "One of the edition"...
0:17:39 > 0:17:41"In addition"... "strictly limited"... "7,500".
0:17:41 > 0:17:44There's quite a few of them about, then!
0:17:44 > 0:17:47There's a lot of horseracing fans about, as well.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Yeah. There are, isn't there, really?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53The other thing in this cabinet which I think is good is this here.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I think this is handsome. This is a meerschaum pipe,
0:17:56 > 0:18:00and it's nice that it's in its little box here, all cased up.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- £39.- I like him.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05You like him? Well, he's worth asking about.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Do you want to go and ask about that, Dave?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- I will do.- Well done.- OK.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- And go and ask about Lester Piggott. - I'd like to ask at least.- OK.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- Just to put me out of my misery, yeah.- Right. OK.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- See what you can do on that.- OK.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23He can do 225 on the Nijinsky, Lester Piggott.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- OK.- How does that sound?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Er, it still sounds a lot.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30'Well, it's £50 off, David.'
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Now, this intrigues me.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Isn't that lovely? Do you know, I've never seen a horn beaker
0:18:39 > 0:18:43engraved like that, and it really works with this light.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45We've got two little people in the coach,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48and we're running round here, and he's whipping the horses.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52They're really going full gallop. And I like the way the artist here,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54because it's quite low-profile scene here,
0:18:54 > 0:18:59he's now introduced a sort of village scene in here,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02going along the top. And then, rather bizarrely,
0:19:02 > 0:19:06the horses, this team of horses, is being attacked
0:19:06 > 0:19:09by a lion, and a plucky little terrier there
0:19:09 > 0:19:14- is chewing into his calf. It's a lovely item, isn't it?- It is.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Now, I wonder how it performs away from the light.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- You see, it's quite a dull beast now, isn't it?- Yes.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25This is made of horn, and it's just got a really charming scene,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27sort of English naive art.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- A bit scrimshaw.- It is... Exactly! Scrimshaw, isn't it?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34When you put a light upon it, it looks really good, doesn't it?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- It does.- I like that. - What price is it, James?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39165.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- That is...- Must be having a laugh, mustn't they?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44It's too expensive!
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- Gosh, is this a long-distance call? - It is.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- THEY LAUGH - How many pieces you got?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- You got the two, haven't you? - Yes, we've got two.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- So you're down to the final line. - We are.- We're praying.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- We are praying. - I can feel the tension here.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02You could cut the atmosphere with a knife,
0:20:02 > 0:20:06it's so sharp around here. I think I'll shove off.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10130 is his very best. It's very tight on that one.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- If it's rare, we could...- Go for it.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- Yes, we'll have it. - We'll have it? OK.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16130.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19So, that's the Red Team finished.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21But what do they have in their basket?
0:20:21 > 0:20:27Catherine and Jean first served up the Sheffield-plate tray for £50.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31A humpback teddy bear joined their happy group for 80.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38And you just saw them grab the horn beaker for £130.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Now, what's the grand total?
0:20:42 > 0:20:44£260.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45- 260?- Yes.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48That's good, then. £40 of leftover lolly somewhere.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Thank you very much. There's the 40. Very good. All present and correct.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- Straight to Mr Braxton. - Blimey! A fortune!
0:20:56 > 0:21:00That's marvellous. I'm always delighted when you spend your money.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01We wanted to spend a lot.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Now James's challenge is to find something suitable for £40.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- I've got every confidence. - Every...- Yes, indeed.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Haven't we all? Brilliant.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Anyway, why don't we check out right now what the Blues bought, eh?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17NEEDLE SCRATCHING ON RECORD
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Hold on. I can't, because they haven't bought anything yet!
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- What's your decision? - We're going with the brolly,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- the brush with the bear on it... - The brush with the bear.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- And the beautiful pen. - And the little pen.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34What about this? You do Lester, 225,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37you do pen, 20,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39and you do pipe, 38?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- You can afford that, can't you? - I'm not keen on the pipe.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- I'd rather have the bear brush. - The bear brush?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- OK. Are you dead set on Lester? - I really like it.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- You like Lester. Be him on your head.- OK.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57- And then the beautiful pen. - 20, so that makes 245.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00You could go for the brolly for 50, and then leave me with £5.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Yeah. I say let's do that. Surely whatever you buy for a fiver,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- we can't lose on that. - Well, you never know.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- Wonderful.- Job done.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11HE LAUGHS
0:22:11 > 0:22:13After all that,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15this is what they went for -
0:22:15 > 0:22:19the Lester Piggott bronze, for £225.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23The bone paper knife for £20.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27And the ladies' parasol for 50.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32What's this I hear? You spent £225 on one item?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- Don't look at me.- Don't look at who? - It's not on my head. It's on his.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Dave? You. - I think it may be my fault, yes.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Well, it's nobody's fault until the fat lady sings, right?
0:22:42 > 0:22:46It can all happen at the auction, which is what's such fun.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48So, overall you spent it all, didn't you, roughly?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Yeah. All bar a little fiver. - £295?- Yes.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55I knew they were going to do well. £295.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- Where's the £5 note, then, please? - That's there.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Lovely! Look at that. Nice and crisp and clean.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- Straight over to you, Thomas. Happy with that?- What can you buy for £5?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Well, not much in the caff, I can tell you!
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Anyway, that's your challenge, and you do love a challenge, don't you?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- I love a challenge. - Anyway, good luck, kids.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Meanwhile, we're heading off somewhere awfully nice.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19We're going to Hampshire. You can come too, if you're good.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Welcome to Hinton Ampner.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Thanks to its last owner, Lord Ralph Dutton,
0:23:28 > 0:23:32it is home to some seriously exquisite antiques.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44And there are some prime examples in this, the drawing room.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Now, if there's one specie of decorative objects
0:23:48 > 0:23:50that seemed to get Ralph Dutton going,
0:23:50 > 0:23:57it was anything that was either made of or encrusted in ormolu,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59bright gold and glitzy,
0:23:59 > 0:24:04and preferably encrusted with something else that's precious.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09And an object which typifies his taste is this thing.
0:24:09 > 0:24:15Technically it's called a cassolette or perfume burner.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17It's been hollowed out inside.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21You'd shove a tablet of perfume, incense,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24light it so that it smoked,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28and the smoke would then curl out from this pierced rim
0:24:28 > 0:24:33and effectively perfume the air in your room.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35It's a form of air freshener.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38And without doubt, in the 18th century,
0:24:38 > 0:24:42things could be a bit niffy even in an aristocrat's home.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46However, an air freshener couldn't be contained
0:24:46 > 0:24:49in a more exotic case than this for an aristocrat,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52because the body of the sphere itself
0:24:53 > 0:24:56is made out of Blue John, which is a fluorspar
0:24:56 > 0:24:58that is only mined in Derbyshire.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02There's nowhere else in the world that mines this stuff,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04at Castleton, and it's all worked out today,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07so you won't get any more.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10The sphere itself is supported on three gryphons,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14mythical creatures from Greek mythology,
0:25:14 > 0:25:19which are half-eagle, with an eagle's beak and wings
0:25:19 > 0:25:21applied to the body of a lion.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Seriously weird!
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Dotted around the drawing room
0:25:25 > 0:25:31we've got a commode that's encrusted in pictorial pietra dura,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34little birds, all in coloured stones inlaid into stone,
0:25:34 > 0:25:39and in the exotic low pietra-dura table top,
0:25:39 > 0:25:44we see parquetry, all again inlaid in stones,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48all those different, complicated geometric shapes
0:25:48 > 0:25:51fitting together most perfectly.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56But the piece de resistance in Dutton's collection
0:25:56 > 0:26:00of exotic objects has to be this table cabinet,
0:26:00 > 0:26:06an extraordinarily sophisticated and complicated piece of furniture
0:26:06 > 0:26:10to make in the 1660s or 1680s.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14It comes from Augsburg in Germany,
0:26:14 > 0:26:18and if you just look at the frieze, that is indented not once,
0:26:18 > 0:26:23not twice but about six times around this single corner,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26and you look at the number of little pieces of wood
0:26:26 > 0:26:29that geometrically have had to be put together
0:26:29 > 0:26:31to create this complicated effect,
0:26:31 > 0:26:36then you begin to grasp just how exquisite
0:26:36 > 0:26:38this thing actually is.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40It looks rich and exotic
0:26:40 > 0:26:44partly because the drawer fronts are all applied
0:26:44 > 0:26:46with thin pieces of silver,
0:26:46 > 0:26:50each of which have been embossed, repousse style, from behind,
0:26:50 > 0:26:54with scenes from ancient mythology.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00The exotic effect is continued by these out-set columns
0:27:00 > 0:27:05that look like twisted pieces of barley sugar or glass.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Actually they're pieces of rock crystal.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10And what's this dark-blue stuff?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Well, that's veneered lapis lazuli,
0:27:13 > 0:27:18another rare, expensive and exotic mineral,
0:27:18 > 0:27:21just to make it that little bit different.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Well, one thing's for certain -
0:27:23 > 0:27:28we'll not be coming across anything quite so exquisite today
0:27:28 > 0:27:30with our teams over at the auction.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40We're heading over to Lichfield in Staffordshire,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43where we're under the care of auctioneer Richard Winterton.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Sold at 210.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50First up for Catherine and Jean is the silver-plated tray.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Now, I like these when it's got this kind of shaped gallery to it.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58- Bit classy that, isn't it?- I think it's a classic, classic item.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Love it. How much?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01We've gone conservative at 50 to 60.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- OK. Well, they paid 50.- Yeah.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06So they stand a chance, huh?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Now, teddy here is looking very comfy on the tray.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Bit of a lump on its back, look.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15And I thought he was looking a bit depressed earlier,
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- but maybe he's read your estimate. - We've got 70 to 90, haven't we?
0:28:19 > 0:28:21- That's all right. £80 they paid. - Oh, I...
0:28:21 > 0:28:24We'll go with the 70, I think. Yeah.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26- But you're not feeling really hot for him.- No.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Just hope he isn't listening.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30- Yeah.- Poor old chap!
0:28:30 > 0:28:34So, what about the horn beaker? Can we buck up with that?
0:28:34 > 0:28:37It's 19th century, early, nicely carved.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Used to be collectable. We've put 40 to 50 on it.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Looking at it, there's quite a lot of damage to it.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- It's a quirky thing.- The problem is that I think this horn
0:28:47 > 0:28:50has been extremely popular with collectors in the old days.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53In the old days, certainly.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57And half of us want to see the prices that used to be paid for this back again.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59The truth of the matter is, where are those buyers?
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Where is horn.com?
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Or whatever you might look up on the internet,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09you certainly wouldn't find a whole lot of beakers like this.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- That's the trouble. So what's your estimate?- We've gone 40 to 50.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Oh, Lord! They paid £130 for that.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Oh, yeah. Old-day money.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- Old-day money. - That's old stock, I think.
0:29:20 > 0:29:25They're going to be torpedoed. In which case, let's go and have a look at the bonus buy!
0:29:26 > 0:29:30OK, Catherine, Jean, shall we find out what James Braxton bought
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- with the £40 of leftover lolly? - Yes.- Yes!
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Now, er, I didn't spend it all.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40- What do you think it is, Jean? - I think it's a cigar case.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42- Yes.- Cigar case.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44What year would that be?
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Sort of 1920s, 1930s, by the lettering.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Personalised. Nicely initialled there.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Does that make a difference, though, when people buy?
0:29:54 > 0:29:57I think having something gilt-tooled always adds to an item.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- Do you?- Yes. Very much. - And how much did you pay?
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- A fiver.- Ooh!- Fiver!
0:30:02 > 0:30:04- I like it!- Wow!
0:30:04 > 0:30:08- And it's made of pigskin. - Yes.- Yeah, it's rather nice.
0:30:08 > 0:30:13I was rather hoping for an Asprey's or a Sampson Mordan or something,
0:30:13 > 0:30:15but instead I've got "made in England".
0:30:15 > 0:30:18That's all right. That's something to be proud of.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- I'm not going to ask if we'll make a profit.- We will.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- I like these sort of contestants. - I know. Full of confidence.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28- We like him.- You like him? You like James or the cheroot case?
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- Er, James.- Both.- Both.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32THEY LAUGH
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- You're not a fiver, are you? - No.- How lovely, James!
0:30:35 > 0:30:37You've got fans as well!
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- Everybody needs fans. - Well done, James.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43You don't decide now, girls. You pick a bit later.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45But for the audience at home,
0:30:45 > 0:30:49let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about James's case.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53You like a bit of leather, don't you? Hah!
0:30:53 > 0:30:56- What about that, then? - I quite like this. Yeah.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58They are quite collectable.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02- Sad about the initials on the other side, though, isn't it?- Yes.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04I don't know whether you can ever get those out.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07I'm not sure how deep it's been put in.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- Anyway, how much? - I think we've gone 30 to 40.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Good Lord! Braxton will be astounded!
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- He only paid £5. - Ah, he's OK with that.- All right.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Jolly good. He will be pleased.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Now, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25You've got a pretty weird mix here. First up is Lester Piggott
0:31:25 > 0:31:29galloping to victory, all three legs off the ground.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33These are quite popular, so if they haven't gone over the top too much,
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- we could be OK. - What's your estimate?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38We've got 200 to 300.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- Have you? Well, they paid £225. - I'm not surprised.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45All right. That's encouraging. Well, thank you.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Bone paperknife now.- OK.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Missing its little lens, the Stanhope in the top,
0:31:51 > 0:31:55but nevertheless, got a wee pen inside it and all the rest of it.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Again, it's a good, fun, novelty piece.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Hopefully they haven't paid too much, but it's OK.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- 30 to 40, our estimate, so... - Perfect. They paid 20.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- Yeah. Should be. - And lastly is the umbrella
0:32:07 > 0:32:08to beat all umbrellas, really,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11because that is a fantastic terminal, isn't it?
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Yeah, it's a corker, absolute corker of an umbrella.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17I don't think it'll stay on there very long, whoever buys it.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21The handle will be off and it'll be on a lovely walking stick,
0:32:21 > 0:32:24a lovely cane. Beautiful. It's a cracking, cracking piece.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- So, how much for it? - We've gone 50 to 70.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Brilliant. They paid £50. It could make £100, couldn't it?
0:32:30 > 0:32:33I wouldn't be surprised at all.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Depending on that and old Lester Piggott,
0:32:35 > 0:32:39will determine if they need the bonus buy, but let's have a look at it anyway.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43So, Cath and Dave, you spent £295.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46You gave the boy £5! Thomas, what did you spend it on?
0:32:46 > 0:32:49£5 was tough,
0:32:49 > 0:32:52so I looked everywhere, everywhere,
0:32:52 > 0:32:56and everything was marked at £15, £10,
0:32:56 > 0:32:58and the £5 things was really bad,
0:32:58 > 0:33:01so I bought this for £5. It's a piece of art glass,
0:33:01 > 0:33:05probably Italian, 1960s, bubble inclusion.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- I mean, what's it worth? 10, 15? - Are the bubbles there on purpose?
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Of course they are! What do you mean, are... Actually,
0:33:12 > 0:33:15let me take you through the process.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18There's this burning furnace, and there's this poor chap
0:33:18 > 0:33:21blowing these things, and it's blown by hand.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24What he does is, he's got this molten coloured glass,
0:33:24 > 0:33:29and he blows it, and then the bubbles are injected in,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32and then they mould it out,
0:33:32 > 0:33:34and he crimps it here and he cools it down.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37There's a lot of work gone into that. It is hand-made,
0:33:37 > 0:33:40and it's £5. You couldn't go and say, "Right, Mr Glassblower -
0:33:40 > 0:33:44five quid, make me that." He'd say, "It's going to cost you a hundred."
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- So we're going to get a hundred?- No. You'll probably get £10 for that.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51But it is Italian, it's hand-made, and it's £5.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- And it's blue. - And it's blue. Popular colour.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- And you only gave me a fiver. - You made us spend it.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01No, I didn't. I think you have to blame your husband on this one.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03But we'll see what happens.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07I have to say, Lester Piggott did hoover up quite a lot of your cash,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- David, if you remember. - He may have done, yes.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13He may have done. Anyway, more of that later.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Right now let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:34:16 > 0:34:18about Thomas's £5 buy.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23- So, poor Thomas only had £5, and that's what he got.- OK.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Another classic design,
0:34:25 > 0:34:291960s ashtray, I suppose you could call it.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- It's OK, isn't it? I quite like it. - It's blue for the Blue Team.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36- Yeah.- What might it bring? - We're £15 to £20 on that.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40- £5 he paid.- Easy.- That's what they call a no-brainer, right?- Yeah.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Yeah. Yeah.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- Are you nervy at all, Jean?- No. No.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57You aren't nervous, Catherine? No. You said your prayers?
0:34:57 > 0:35:00We have. We've just had a prayer meeting.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Have you? So you're going to be all right.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06- What's money? - Well, quite.- We've got everything.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08- You have.- We've got you!
0:35:08 > 0:35:10- We've got you.- James... - What could be nicer?
0:35:10 > 0:35:15Anyway, first up, darlings, is your tray, and it's a pretty one.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17We go now, lot 243.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Sheffield-plated twin-handled tray now.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23Pretty tray, this one. Again, bid's in at £50.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Oh! Straight in.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29At £50 I'm bid. 50. And 60. And 70. And 80.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31At £80. Here with me at 80.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34At £80. I'm bid £80. The room is out.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35At £80...
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Sold at 80.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Good auctioneering there. Plus 30.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44Nice one. I like that. Now teddy.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47We now go to 244. It's the teddy bear.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49244, the teddy bear.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Nothing on my book on this one, so I'm in the lap of you.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56So come on. £20 to start me off. £20 I'm bid.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58£20 I'm bid. The teddy bear at £20.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01At £20 I'm bid. £20, £20, £20, £20.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05The lady at £20. Don't leave me hanging and dangling.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- 25. £30. 35.- Oh, yes!
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- £40.- More, more! - Still the front row strong at £40.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14Everyone else out? £40. All finished? 40.
0:36:14 > 0:36:19£40. £40, then, is minus 40, which means overall you're minus ten.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23245, the beaker now, the horn beaker.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Again, nothing on my book, I'm afraid,
0:36:25 > 0:36:27so open to you again. At £20, start me.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31£20. £20 I'm bid. £20 I'm bid. 25.
0:36:31 > 0:36:3530. £30. 35, sir? 35.
0:36:35 > 0:36:3835 against the right. At 35... 40.
0:36:38 > 0:36:4140 bid. 40 bid. Back of the room at £40.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- £40. £40. Got some age. 45. - 45. Yes, go on!
0:36:44 > 0:36:47£50. £60.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49£60. £70.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- Go on.- Yes!- £70. No?
0:36:52 > 0:36:54£70. Right away at £70. At £70.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Sold, then, at £70.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00What a bore that is! £70!
0:37:00 > 0:37:04That is minus 60, which means overall you're minus 70.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Bad luck, girls. It was a speculation.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11- Yes.- But somebody will be very pleased with that,
0:37:11 > 0:37:14at £70, I tell you. Anyway, what are you going to do?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- Are you going to go with the pigskin?- Yes.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- It's a no-brainer, isn't it? - We trust you.- We love you, James.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23A no-brainer, for a fiver, isn't it? It's got to make 75.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Um, he's estimated 30 to 40 on it. You paid a fiver.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30He's estimating 30 to 40. I think we need a bit more faith!
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Anyway, here we go.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36We now go this time, the pigskin cigar case,
0:37:36 > 0:37:38lot 249. Commission bids are on the book.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- £10 I'm bid. - There should be.- 20. Five.
0:37:41 > 0:37:4430. £30 I'm bid. £30. 35.
0:37:44 > 0:37:4735 in the room now. At 35.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50At 35. 35, 35, 35. In the room on my right at 35.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Sold at 35.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58James, that is plus £30! Well done, old fruit.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03That's a good profit. Sadly, though, it doesn't get you out of jail.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06You are still minus £40.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08It could be a winning score, so not a word, right?
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- Don't talk to the Blues. - We won't.- Thank you. That's great.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Now, Dave, this is your big responsibility.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26Yes? You spent £225 on Lester Piggott,
0:38:26 > 0:38:29but I'm glad to tell you that the auctioneer has estimated
0:38:29 > 0:38:32£200 to £300. He rates your bronze.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Fine.- He's sold them before. He says it's on the internet.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38He's quite upbeat about it. He reckons you'll get 200,
0:38:38 > 0:38:40so there's a small loss in there.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- There's a lot of horseracing fans here, I can tell.- Can you?
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Well, there's a lot of punters, that's true.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Anyway, first up is Lester Piggott. Is he going to romp home?
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Here he comes.- Now to 262,
0:38:52 > 0:38:56the Champion Finish there. Bit of interest on this lot as well.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- Champion Finish I have in at 130. - Oh!- 140. 150.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02160. 170. 180. 190.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06200. £200 I'm bid, then. At 200.
0:39:06 > 0:39:07Come on!
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- At £200.- Go on, giddy up! - Little bit more.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Top of three bids at 200. At 200.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Room is out. Sold at 200.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Oh, bad luck, David. £200.- So close!
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Minus 25.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24We now go to 263,
0:39:24 > 0:39:28the carved-bone pen paperknife. Nothing on my book on this one.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32What's it going to be? £20? £20? £20, then. £20.
0:39:32 > 0:39:3425. £30. 35.
0:39:34 > 0:39:3735 I'm bid. Front row at 35.
0:39:37 > 0:39:3935, 35, 35.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Front row at 35. Sold, then... All finished?
0:39:42 > 0:39:47£35 is plus £15. Good girl! You're still minus ten.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52Now we got the umbrella this time, lot 264,
0:39:52 > 0:39:54with the carved tiger's-eye pommel, then.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Silver-mounted. Again, bit of interest on this. £20 I'm bid.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01£20. Five. 30. Five. 40.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Five. 50. 60. 70.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06£70. 80.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09£80 I'm bid. £80, £80. 90.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- £90! Look at that!- £90.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- How good is that?- All done?
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- Sold at 90.- Well done, Thomas.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21That is plus 40, which has saved your bacon quietly.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24So you are plus 30 at the end of that.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26What are you going to do about that blue bowl?
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- Come on. It's £5.- Yeah.- Absolutely.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- You're only risking a fiver.- Yeah. - OK. We're going with the bonus buy,
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- and here it comes.- 277 we go to,
0:40:36 > 0:40:41which is the studio glass vase from the 1960s there. Blue, there.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Nothing on my books. I'm in your hands. £5?
0:40:44 > 0:40:48See where we go. Five, six, seven. Seven, eight, nine.

0:41:11 > 0:41:16That is plus £47. You're going home with folding money, aren't you?
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- We are!- Listen, don't tell the Reds a thing.- No, we won't.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Well, well, well! Had a nice time, girls and boys?
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Yeah.- Yes? Talking to one another?
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- No.- No, not at all.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38Well, this is the moment to reveal who the runners-up are.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41I'm afraid the Reds,
0:41:41 > 0:41:46despite the fact that both teams went with their bonus item.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Bonus buys boosted the profit arrangement.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51You are nevertheless still minus 40, girls.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- We are.- You was robbed, weren't you? - We were.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58- You was robbed by that teddy bear. - Yes, we was.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02- And by that horn beaker. - Yes.- They dragged you down.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04- But they've not dragged you down in spirit!- Not at all.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07No. Well, we've loved having you on the show.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11- We've had a wonderful time. - Well, we've loved having you,
0:42:11 > 0:42:13and you've enjoyed yourselves.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17And well done for getting £30 profit on your £5 purchase!
0:42:17 > 0:42:21- We're very proud of James. - We're all very proud of you, James.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25But the victors today, Cath and David, who take home £47.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- THEY GASP - £47 of money!
0:42:28 > 0:42:32There you go. You've got another couple coming here,
0:42:32 > 0:42:35if you play your cards right, if I can get it out.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38THEY ALL CHATTER
0:42:38 > 0:42:40You risked it with Lester Piggott.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43£40, though, on that umbrella found by you, Thomas,
0:42:43 > 0:42:46which was a good result. £15 on the nice little pen
0:42:46 > 0:42:48with the Stanhope in it,
0:42:48 > 0:42:52and then the bubble bowl, another very good £5 purchase,
0:42:52 > 0:42:56which made a profit of £17, which has been a miracle all round.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00It certainly has, yeah. There's nobody more surprised than me.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Well, £47 is a tidy sum.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05I won't ask what you're going to spend it on.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07That should... Oh, Prince's Trust!
0:43:07 > 0:43:10I think that's what that gesture means.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- THEY LAUGH - Anyway, very good luck.
