0:00:02 > 0:00:07You have been selected to take part in an antiques TV programme.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Proceed to Go, pick up £300
0:00:10 > 0:00:13and let's go bargain hunting. Yeah!
0:00:34 > 0:00:39It's raining in London, but we're snug indoors at Alfies Antique Market.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42MUSIC: I Fought The Law by The Clash
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Our teams certainly know how to play the game.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48It's not our style really.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49Is that not for you?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Of course they do - they're lawyers.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56One hour and £300 for a team of solicitors?
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Sounds cheap to me.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Who will win at auction?
0:01:02 > 0:01:04The jury's out.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- Hello, you two sisters.- Hello! - Lovely.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Now, Blanche, what made you want to come on the programme?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Rach and I just love antiques.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20Our parents are into antiques. Our farmhouse is a bit like Lovejoy Antiques.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- Cluttered?- It's stacked to the rafters with stuff.
0:01:24 > 0:01:30- It says on my card that you wanted to thrash your work colleagues here.- Lies!
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- Is that not right?- It's Damian who wants to thrash us.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39You know each other - lovely. So are you all lawyers?
0:01:39 > 0:01:43No, I'm the only non-lawyer, but I'm Blanche's sister.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48- A sister, not a solicitor. - I work for a PR firm. - Well done. What does that mean?
0:01:48 > 0:01:53I'm an account manager and basically I just get my clients in the media.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- I write articles and get them on TV, radio.- Do you?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00That's fun. What do you collect?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02We've got similar taste. We both like Art Deco
0:02:02 > 0:02:07and vintage '60s and '70s clothes and jewellery.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- And ceramics as well. - And '50s.- And '50s, yeah.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15I'm told that in this fantastic building at Alfies on the top floor,
0:02:15 > 0:02:20- is a little period hairdressing salon. Fancy it?- Definitely.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Any particular style?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- Beehive.- We like the '60s. - You like a bit of beehive.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Something to look forward to. What's going to happen next?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Now, Damian, how are you on the old beehive?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- I'm going to pass on that. - Yes, no, very good.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39What branch of the law are you involved with?
0:02:39 > 0:02:43I work in what's known as counter-fraud, Tim.
0:02:43 > 0:02:49When someone might say they've been in an accident and they've not,
0:02:49 > 0:02:55I'll be instructed to look at it, investigate it and hopefully repudiate any claim they make.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59So you are the Inspector Clouseau of the legal profession?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03That's a very fair way of summarising, it, Tim, yeah.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05So, Hannah, are you a fraud investigator too?
0:03:05 > 0:03:11No, I do contentious litigation, so all sorts of disputes between people,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14but mostly revolving around explosions and fires.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- So if it's gone bang or gone up in smoke, you get the job.- Yes.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Any other special talents that will help you win today?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Actually, Tim, I have.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I can read palms,
0:03:27 > 0:03:31and if I might read your palm, it might tell us how today will go.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36- It will be a pleasure. Right or left?- The left.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38There we go. Glad I washed this morning.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40This is a very interesting palm.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Is it?- Very interesting indeed.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- You were a bit of a lothario in your early days.- Oh, Lord.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- But you've been a one-woman man since.- Oh, yes.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Very successful.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Also... What's that? It looks as though
0:03:56 > 0:03:58the blue team are going to win.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59THEY LAUGH
0:03:59 > 0:04:01You are brilliant. Isn't that lovely?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Now, the money moment. You get your £300 apiece.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07There you go, there's your 300.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go, and very good luck.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Gosh, what fun we're going to have today, what?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Looking for clues with the red team is Charlie Hanson.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24And hoping to see the light with the Blues, Anita Manning.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27MUSIC: Green Onions by Booker T And The MGs
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Girls, you look hot to trot.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Thank you, Charles. - The beehive hairstyle is fantastic.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- You're looking very dapper yourself. - I try.
0:04:37 > 0:04:43- The other guys have given beehives, but we could give bonnets. - Yeah, definitely.- Try them on.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46The hat's the right look, isn't it?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49It's the best look of the lot!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54OK, guys, we're now off, OK?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57We were thinking maybe a print.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00A print? OK. Let's have a look at some Chelsea prints.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05OK, Chelsea hospital or Regent's Street maybe.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I like the Regent's Street one. I think it's really smart.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Yeah, that is really nice.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Not convinced, Charles?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13MUSIC: Uptight (Everything's Alright) by Stevie Wonder
0:05:13 > 0:05:19- Look at that! - Can you play the cornet? - No, but I'm happy to give it a go.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Has it got a mouthpiece? - It has, yes. Go ahead.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24When's it from?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Probably about 1940.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30HE MAKES A LOUD NOISE
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Don't give up the day job!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- I thought that was quite good! Want a go?- No.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Come on, give it a go!
0:05:43 > 0:05:44THEY LAUGH
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- It'll ruin her lipstick! - I have to get the pout right. - Yeah.- OK.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53SHE PLAYS THREE NOTES
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Like, I'm not sure... Is it in full working order?- Yeah.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Full working order!
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Yeah, that'll be the problem.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05I think Damian was better than you were!
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Anita, I can't believe it!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Still looking at pictures, girls?
0:06:11 > 0:06:12That's quite nice.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Yeah, that one's quite nice.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16I thought the Regent's Street one was quite nice.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19What do you think? Why pictures? Why the prints?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21We're thinking about things that people would...
0:06:21 > 0:06:26I think people at this auction will know how to dress their house.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28You're high-flying girls, OK?
0:06:28 > 0:06:33You're sisters with similar tastes. As such, I bow to your judgement.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38So if you feel that's what we ought to go for, I'm behind you.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Should we get one that's framed?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44I think framed and ready to go in the retail market is all-important.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49HE MAKES A LOUD NOISE
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Blowing your own trumpet, eh, Damian?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Damian, why were you drawn to this instrument?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It's a bit niche, a bit different.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01It's a wee bit quirky, and the market's good for quirky items.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- It's got B&H, so it must be... - Boosey and Hawkes, yes.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09Boosey and Hawkes was one of the best makers of wind instruments.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- The all-important... - Question, how much is it?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14£60.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- I...- Do you like it enough?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23I don't... I like it, but I don't £60 like it.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26How much do you like it?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Remember, you're dealing with a lawyer.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I think I... £35-ish like it.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32HE DRAWS BREATH SHARPLY
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Higher?- 55.
0:07:37 > 0:07:3855?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I'm being really good now to you.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Damian, you're the...
0:07:43 > 0:07:48I... Maybe if we stretch to 40.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Oh, go on!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Anita, you're a devil.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- A wee devil!- She's our lucky mascot.- A wee devil, yes.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Go on, then.- Ah, excellent!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I'll see you all right, darling.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- I think that's a good buy. - I'm happy with that.- I'm happy.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11- It's unusual.- Are you happy?- Yes. The other team won't have one. - Absolutely.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16- It'll be the only cornet. - You can have as many silly haircuts as you like.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Careful, Damian!
0:08:21 > 0:08:23This is good fun, ladies.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Here you've got a plate from a book entitled Swearing At Highgate.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- If you come round here.- Yes, we like that.- Look at that.- Wow!
0:08:31 > 0:08:35So you've got this hand-tinted coaching scene outside the pub,
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Swearing At Highgate,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40this 18th-century gent in a green frock jacket
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- doesn't look overly happy. - I quite like it.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Dated 1796, published by Allen and West.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- And it's hand coloured? - It's hand tinted.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51It's quite humorous. It could be up in your bathroom.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- The paper's a little... - It's a bit warped, isn't it?
0:08:55 > 0:09:00Well, I suppose when this was printed and tinted,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02only seven years after the French Revolution,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06that sort of age, you're bound to have a few knocks and tears.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- I wonder how much it is. - Shall we ask?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11It says £85.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14So what's your best price?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- £65.- There you go, not a bad start, £20 off.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Would you do it for 50?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22No, it's too much.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Erm...
0:09:23 > 0:09:2455?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I think we should think about it.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Yeah, we'll think about it, won't we?- Yeah.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- OK.- Then we'll come back.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Waltz on. Thank you, we may come back in a short while.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37OK?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Happy?- Yes.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Here we go, ladies, OK? Let's go.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- That's quite a nice telescope. - It is a nice telescope.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48I've seen a few in my time.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Look through it, see if it's working. See if everything's there.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- What can you see through it? - A profit!
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Not much actually, but it is... You can see through that.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09There's an array of items here which are good fodder,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11meaning good material for a good sale.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15I quite like the teapot and the coffee, yeah.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- The four-piece set? - Also that tray's nice.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I prefer the tray.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22It's 1930s, '40s and a bit more "Wow".
0:10:22 > 0:10:28Do you think that teapot and the coffee pot is more mass-produced?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31It's standard, it's four-piece, it's Regency in style,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34it's a boat-shaped form and do you know what?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36It's a bit boring.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- But if you think there's some... - I think it's quite stylish.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I like it. I don't... Let's find out how much it is.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Didn't you say it was boring?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Is this a real diamond?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Because if it is...
0:10:53 > 0:10:54You'll go for it!
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- For £10, that's pretty good. - Can I swap my partner, please?
0:10:58 > 0:11:02We're just admiring your very nice four-piece tea set.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05It's silver plate with Bakelite handles.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Not ebony?- No.- OK. So if...
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- they're Bakelite, that puts them more towards 1920, 1925.- Exactly.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15OK. What's it worth, without asking the lady?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Test your knowledge. You enjoy Bargain Hunt.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20What would you pay for it?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- What do you think?- £60.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- I've got £115 on it.- Oh!
0:11:24 > 0:11:26£95 is best on it.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30And it's teapot, milk, sugar, and they're all in good condition.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31And 95 is a def'?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I'll do 75.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Best-best price.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40- Can we also ask about the tray? - The white handles are very nice. - This is really stylish.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42It's got the hint of a neo-classical.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- That's 145?- It's got 145 on it. Best on it is 100.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Would you do the tea set for 70? - Yeah, 70 would be good.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- For cash? - If it helps you, yes, I will. - That's really kind of you.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58What do you think, Charles, if we get it for 70?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Ladies, look, you know, you're... - Can we have a look at it?
0:12:02 > 0:12:06I still think it's stylish. You'd want it on your sideboard.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08If I value this,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I'd say it could fetch anything from £40
0:12:11 > 0:12:13up to £80.
0:12:13 > 0:12:1470 is still a bit steep.
0:12:14 > 0:12:20I know it's a terrible mark-down for you coming down to 60 and you probably won't do it.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- She's going once.- 65. - She's going twice.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27We could look around for some others but I like this one.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- The hour's ticking. - Maybe we need to buy the first.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Let's go for this for 65.- OK.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I think it's complete, it's on the money.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39I can tell by your eyes you think it's got potential.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44- And I'm behind you. - It'll go well in Chelsea. - If your friends believe the same,
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- let's see it roll away.- Thank you. - That's our first buy done.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54OK, guys, that's half an hour, one item, not bad.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57But we've got to seriously push on.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- OK.- Let's try down here.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04- I'm looking for something for that garden party. - That's really nice!
0:13:04 > 0:13:09- We can't go dress shopping, ladies. We're antiques shopping. - These are antiques!
0:13:09 > 0:13:14Come on! I know it's only half time, but there's still two objects to find.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Nice try, Charles.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17This is older than my dad!
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Now, I've found something your mum might remember.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25This thing looks a bit like a ladies' overnight bag.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27But actually it's not.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Look at this!
0:13:29 > 0:13:33This is a piece of hairdressing heaven!
0:13:33 > 0:13:36We've got a Ronson hairdryer,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39complete with its plastic hanging strap.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43So I guess that Madam in 1962
0:13:43 > 0:13:47would hang the set round her neck like this,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50and then she'd plug it in to the old 13-amp power point
0:13:50 > 0:13:53on the end of this incredibly long cable like that
0:13:53 > 0:13:57and then she'd refer to the instruction manual,
0:13:57 > 0:14:02because what she'd really like to do is look a bit like her.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Kind of Dusty Springfield. Don't you feel Dusty coming on?
0:14:06 > 0:14:12Anyway, according to the brochure, she has used a damp setting,
0:14:12 > 0:14:13which is really handy.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17But look at these accessories. We've got this nice tube,
0:14:17 > 0:14:21so you've got your connector on the end of the hair blower,
0:14:21 > 0:14:26and then this marigold-covered plastic bag
0:14:26 > 0:14:31which, if she's having a damp set, she'd plug in on top like this.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Then you've got your heat control,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36which is this fellow here. If you twiddle this knob,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40that line goes up the plastic what-not up to hot
0:14:40 > 0:14:43or not so hot. Stick it back there like that.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Isn't that marvellous?
0:14:44 > 0:14:49This is a piece of British electronic history,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51made in Cheshire around 1962,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54complete with all its bits and bobs.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56What's a gadget like this going to cost you?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59It could be yours for £60.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Gorgeous!
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- Are you OK?- Yes.- OK. Come on, there's no time for this.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09- You've got 18 minutes left and two items to buy.- OK, OK.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11We'll go this way, through here.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15No trader there, you're wasting time.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Laying down the law, eh, Anita?
0:15:17 > 0:15:21What I do like, Blanche, Raquel, is this here.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Look at this. I've never seen one before.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I've only been in antiques 15 years but this really is exquisite.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33It's a stationery set in its original Morocco case.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38We've got here some sort of quill pen, the paper knife with the ivory blade.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42This delightful champleve white enamel engine-turned ornament
0:15:42 > 0:15:47on each handle with some sort of pencil here, perhaps, and also a seal,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50which would all sit on your desk.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55If we look at the design of this, the young almost Deco girl from the early '20s,
0:15:55 > 0:15:59radiating out, and she appears to be feeding the birds.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02It's about 1915, 1920.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05What's important with this - its condition.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Critically, it's the enamel.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10We just roll each implement around
0:16:10 > 0:16:14and we can see condition appears to be good.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18I rate this because it's of a quality which you rarely see.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Rarity will always help value.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22You haven't seen anything like this before?
0:16:22 > 0:16:25I'm a young head hopefully on wise shoulders,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29and it's not something I've come across before.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34The only problem is it's £185. We've got two items left to buy. We can't afford that.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37We'll have to see what the best price is.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40The best price on your delightful set is?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- 140.- 140, and that is the bottom.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I think at 140, which is £45 off...
0:16:45 > 0:16:50Is there any way you could go to 120, because we still have...
0:16:50 > 0:16:54I can do 130 but I paid 100 for it, so I have to make something.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56OK, 130.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01We've come a long way together. You've had your traditional,
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- fairly mundane four-piece set. - Mass-produced.- Speculate.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06What do you think, Blanche?
0:17:06 > 0:17:12I think if Charles is backing it, and he's obviously excited about this find,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I think... Rach, what do you think?
0:17:15 > 0:17:20OK, well, you know, it would be nice if we could get something a little more unusual.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- Shall we go for it?- £130.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Let's try and find out the best price.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- 130 is the best price. - It is. That's a good buy.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Yes, OK, we'll go for it at 130.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Case closed.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Salt and pepper?- Yeah.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I think they're really pretty.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I think they're pretty as well. I like those.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- What's on the bottom? - "Hand painted, made in Germany".
0:17:47 > 0:17:54- I think those are very attractive, and these are not old. - What kind of date are they?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- I'd say 1950s.- Yeah.- 1950s.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59But they are sweet.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I quite... I really like them. I would buy them.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Tell me, Hannah, why do you like them?
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Because they're unusual, they're pretty.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11But you can tell... They're... I don't know.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- They're very feminine, aren't they?- Yeah, they are.
0:18:14 > 0:18:20- Do you think they suit Hannah? - They certainly suit you. - Thank you. How much are they?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22They've got a price of £34.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I'll do those for you for 25, how's that?
0:18:25 > 0:18:2725. Will you take 20?
0:18:27 > 0:18:33- Go on.- It'd make us feel better. - I'll make it 20.- That's great. - That's so kind, thank you.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- Do you like them, Damian? - I love them.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- I really like them.- Yeah.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- I like the way they've got the boy and the girl on.- Yes.
0:18:42 > 0:18:48- Maybe that's their wedding carriage. - You're a romantic, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Very touching, but time's ticking away.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55I quite like the Doulton Lambeth jardinieres over there. See them?
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Is that plate the fruit-decorated plate signed one?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I like the puddle ball in the centre.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- Hm...- No? No.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I'm not sure. I'm not keen.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Is that not for you?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09It's not our style really.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Damian, help!
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I don't think there's anything here.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- We can always...- Let's move on.- OK. - Sorry, Charles.- Don't worry.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Ten minutes to go. Come on, guys!
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- Shall we get the prints? - Yes, we have to get the prints. - We might have to run.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Where are we going?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Follow me.- Let's go downstairs.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- It's not as easy as you think. - It's not.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- It was through here. - It was, and turn right.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- Yep.- Ten minutes to go. - We're struggling to find things that we like.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- There's that one, or do we get the Swearing At Highgate? I like that one.- OK.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- Oh, hello.- Hello, there. - What's going on here? - Are you departing?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48We haven't finished yet, Tim.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Wow, look at these hairdos!
0:19:50 > 0:19:54They've deflated a little with all the stress.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56This is something else, isn't it?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58What about these candlesticks?
0:19:58 > 0:20:03These are nice, with the telescopic mechanism.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06We've got five minutes. We're going to get the print.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10I'm getting out of here. I can't take my eyes off you.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Silver plate's absolutely fine. Candlesticks are always popular.
0:20:14 > 0:20:20- Thank you, Tim. Yeah, the Swearing At Highgate one. - Where's it gone?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23What you have underneath is a copper base and that's good.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25That shows some quality.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Yes, that's it. - Swearing At Highgate.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Time's nearly up.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Start haggling.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Can we go for, say, 30?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35From 85? Definitely not.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38It's 85. Please will you do it for 50?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Please.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41I can do those for 60.
0:20:41 > 0:20:4360...
0:20:43 > 0:20:46It's heads, and tails it's 55.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48If you do this, you buy it, OK?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Can you do them for 50?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I'll say heads.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Oh, no, it's tails.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Because your good lady likes them and you like them, I'll do 50.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59OK, so we've got it for 55.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03- Three minutes to go. We've done it. - We came good in the end.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07I was trying to finish early. More grey hairs all the time.
0:21:07 > 0:21:13- We're going to beat the Reds. - We're going to beat the Reds. You never know.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14- Let's go get it packed.- OK.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Such confidence.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Now what did the Reds end up with?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Against Charles' better judgement,
0:21:21 > 0:21:25the girls were determined to buy the four-piece tea set.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30Then he persuaded them the desk set was a rare and quality find,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32despite its high price tag.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35But he was powerless to resist
0:21:35 > 0:21:39when they finally chose an 18th-century hand-tinted engraving.
0:21:39 > 0:21:45- Flew by, didn't it?- Yes. - The pressure was on at the end. - This is good, isn't it?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Did you have a good time? - Yeah, we did. - Wonderful, thank you.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- Which is your favourite piece? - I quite like the Art-Deco tea set.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56I think it's quite stylish. It will look cool in someone's home.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Yeah.- Definitely.
0:21:58 > 0:22:04- What about you, Blanche? - The stationery set because I think the enamel's beautiful.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- That is a favourite. - Yes. We did um and aah a little.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10We were worried about whether it would sell.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I've been told you ummed and oohed and aahed a lot.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18You spent overall £250 and I'd like £50 of leftover lolly, please.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- And £50 goes to Charles.- Thank you.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25- You've been in safe hands with Carlos. I hope you enjoyed it. - Yes, it was fun.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30You'll see how great he is when he spends his £50, right?
0:22:30 > 0:22:35Correct, Tim. They've been so glamorous, now it's for me to bring back the glitz and glory.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Put a bit of Brylcreem into it. - OK, I will.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Good luck, Charles. Why don't we check out how the Blues are getting on?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Damian showed off his musical talents
0:22:46 > 0:22:49and bargained hard to get the cornet at just £40.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54The romance of the 1950s salt and pepper shakers
0:22:54 > 0:22:57captured Hannah's heart.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58And they both think they could see a profit
0:22:58 > 0:23:02in the pair of telescopic candlesticks.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Three minutes to spare. I think the Reds are in trouble.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12I just love it. A covey of lawyers congratulating themselves.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17- Had a good time?- It was a fun day. Anita really helped us. - Good, I'm so pleased.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- How much did you spend?- £110.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23- Is that all?- Yeah.- Dear, oh, dear, I'm disappointed about that.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25So who's got the £190 of leftover lolly?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- I have.- Well done.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30That goes straight to Anita. Good luck, Anita.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31Good luck, teams.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Meanwhile, we're heading off to Buckinghamshire, to West Wycombe Park.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44In 1724, Francis Dashwood became master of this estate
0:23:44 > 0:23:47at the tender age of 16.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Two years later he went off on the first of many grand tours,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54collecting works of art from all over the world.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00And in this rather naive painting,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02we see Sir Francis, surrounded
0:24:02 > 0:24:06by a group of his friends, all of whom
0:24:06 > 0:24:12are founding members of the Dilettanti Society, which he founded
0:24:12 > 0:24:15for the promotion of classical art and taste.
0:24:15 > 0:24:21Their mission was to visit classical sites. And indeed,
0:24:21 > 0:24:27they're holding a chart of the Mediterranean, planning the next leg of their grand tour.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33The grand tour, of course, was, in the 18th century, the equivalent of the gap year.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Some gap year this,
0:24:35 > 0:24:39because it added up in toto to some 17 years.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42British country houses
0:24:42 > 0:24:48were greatly enriched as a result of the grand tourists' visits
0:24:48 > 0:24:51throughout Europe in the 18th century.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55They were rich and intelligent, and wanted to acquire
0:24:55 > 0:25:00art and objects to bring back to enrich their homes here.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02But what would happen if the art
0:25:02 > 0:25:05that you admired in Italy
0:25:05 > 0:25:09was painted on the wall of a building? A fresco?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13You couldn't exactly bring the building back to Britain with you, could you?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16But you could bring back the artist.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Which is exactly what Sir Francis Dashwood did.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28In 1750, he encountered the artist
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Giuseppe Borgni,
0:25:30 > 0:25:36and he invited him back here to West Wycombe Park to decorate the house.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39And here we've got his interpretation
0:25:39 > 0:25:44of Raphael's Banquet Of The Gods.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49Indeed, old Guiseppe lived here for the rest of his life, painting away
0:25:49 > 0:25:55until 1761, when he died, falling from a ladder.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00Bit of an occupational hazard if you happened to be a ceiling painter.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05The big question today is, of course, will it be a question of snakes and ladders
0:26:05 > 0:26:07for our teams, over at the auction?
0:26:08 > 0:26:12We're at Lots Road Auctions in Chelsea,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15where Nick Carter is selling our items.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18MUSIC: London Calling by The Clash
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Morning.- Very nice to see you, Tim. - Very nice to be here.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Now, the most un-saleable
0:26:24 > 0:26:28quartet of objects,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30they seem to have selected to kick off with.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33The four-piece plated tea set.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35This stuff is not easy to sell.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36It's not easy to sell.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38We do sell it from time to time.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41It sells very badly wherever we go.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- What's your estimate, Nick? - 60 to 120, Tim.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48OK. Well our team paid £65 for it, we shall see.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53Next is the Austro-German desk set, enamelled.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- How do you rate that? - It's got a lot of problems.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Initially when you look at it, straightaway you can see the case is in terrible condition.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03And when you start to look at it more closely,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06look at this piece here,
0:27:06 > 0:27:09the top of it is severely damaged.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- So, how much?- 60 to 90.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12They paid 130.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15So, we'll see what happens there. And finally,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17we've got the Georgian
0:27:17 > 0:27:20tinted or watercoloured engraving.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Do you know about the swearing at Highgate?
0:27:22 > 0:27:23I don't. No.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26It was an oath that was taken
0:27:26 > 0:27:29by people who were entering Highgate
0:27:29 > 0:27:33and they were given certain privileges after making that oath,
0:27:33 > 0:27:37one of which was to kiss the fairest maiden in the pub.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41They had the right to kick a pig out of a piggery
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- if they needed somewhere to sleep. - What's it worth?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I think it's worth 20 to 30.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46They paid £55.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49This team are on a hiding to nothing. They're going to need their bonus buy.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- OK. Blanche and Rach, happy? - Yes.- Very.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55£50 was given to the young pretender.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57What has he spent it on?
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- I'm not quite sure about this one. - Not quite sure?
0:28:01 > 0:28:05It has great style, and my girls, Tim, they have great style.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07This object just reminded me
0:28:07 > 0:28:11of your bee-hive hair style. Look at that.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12- Same shape.- Same shape. - It's really nice.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- I like it.- Do you really?
0:28:15 > 0:28:16Is it Art Deco? It's lovely.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Tim, they're learning. Art Deco. 1930s.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21- Quite graphic-y.- Absolutely.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24It's got that sort of tropical, palm-tree feel about it.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Now, country of origin. Where's it from?
0:28:27 > 0:28:29- Germany?- France?
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Think Paris, you're quite right.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34It's beautifully moulded.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37It is marked with a maker or manufacturer called Oreor's.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40O-R-E-R-O-R-S
0:28:40 > 0:28:45I've never heard of it. But it's in that Sabino or Lalique idiom
0:28:45 > 0:28:49of the mid-20s and '30s.
0:28:49 > 0:28:56- It's just very stylish. - It's pretty heavy. I like the colour as well. It's really cool.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- It is stylish.- The rim's OK. It hasn't been cut down. The foot rim's good.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02It is like Lalique. Did you spend all the money?
0:29:02 > 0:29:03- How much was that?- 50.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Yes, I did.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- I really love it.- I really like it.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09I think it's lovely.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11We all think it's lovely.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Make a change.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Whether it'll make any money is another matter.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18You don't have to choose right now,
0:29:18 > 0:29:21you choose after the sale of your first three items.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25For the audience at home, let's see what the auctioneer thinks of Charles' pot.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30Charles Hanson had £50 of leftover lolly and he spent the lot.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- What do you make of it? - I think it's actually
0:29:33 > 0:29:36quite a nice thing. Sort of naturalistic form, etc.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Signed there, Oreor. I think I've got plenty
0:29:39 > 0:29:41of clients here that
0:29:41 > 0:29:43would like this sort of thing.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- I think it will do very well. - What do you think it's worth?
0:29:46 > 0:29:4780 to 150.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48Right, £50 they paid.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50I think Hanson's done well.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Damian went with the Boosey and Hawkes instrument.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59I don't think they had a good look at it.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02It's actually got quite a lot of damage on the trumpet.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05I think that's going to knock it for six.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07- What are you going to get for it? - 30-50.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Our team paid 40.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11If it wipes its face, fair enough.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Next, the salt and peppers. 1950s are they?
0:30:15 > 0:30:19They are. They're made by Thomas of Germany.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21It's quite a good maker.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Not sure how many buys I'm going to have for those.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- £20 they paid. What will you get? - We'll get 10-20.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29It's neither here nor there, really.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Lastly, the telescopic
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Sheffield plated candlesticks.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36I think... they are pretty standard.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41They are old. They're 18th century. Plating showing through a little bit.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43- But I think they'll sell. - How much?
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- 60-100.- £50 paid.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48- Overall, I don't think they're going to do too badly.- No.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50They only spent £110 overall.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53But let's go and have a look at the bonus buy.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55Hannah and Damian,
0:30:55 > 0:30:56how are you feeling?
0:30:56 > 0:31:02- Quietly confident.- Are you? And that's before you've seen the bonus buy.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07You only spent £110, which meant that Anita Manning was let loose with 190.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Anita, what did you buy? What's under your little rag?
0:31:10 > 0:31:14I'll let you have a look at it and tell me what you think.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Step back and have a look at that.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Wow! It's really colourful. It's huge.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26ANITA LAUGHS
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- Is it an oil painting? - It's an oil on board.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32It's probably from maybe the 1970s.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37The auctioneer has called it Greek school. Maybe he knows something I don't.
0:31:37 > 0:31:43I'm hoping that it will appeal to the buyers down there, but...
0:31:44 > 0:31:47it could get £20,
0:31:47 > 0:31:51it could get £200. I don't know. You've got to make up your mind.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- Do you like it? - I do like the colours.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58I could see someone buying it. Do you know anything about
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- the artist?- No.- Nothing? - Nothing at all.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03- OK.- Damian?- It's all Greek to us.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06I like the look of it.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08It is very colourful.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14And as you say, it could go for anything, couldn't it?
0:32:14 > 0:32:17I don't think you're convinced, Damie!
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- How much did you pay for it?- £100.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Mmm...
0:32:23 > 0:32:24I don't know. I don't know.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28It seems to have taken your breath away, Hannah.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31That's exactly what I was hoping for.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32Anyway, the trick is,
0:32:32 > 0:32:35you don't have to decide now, you decide later,
0:32:35 > 0:32:38after the sale of your first three items.
0:32:38 > 0:32:43For the audience at home, let's see what the auctioneer thinks of Anita's big old daub.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Nick, you're a picture man.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50You'll be delighted with Anita Manning's bonus buy,
0:32:50 > 0:32:53the yellow composition abstract. How do you rate that?
0:32:53 > 0:32:55When you said delighted, Tim, was it ironic?
0:32:55 > 0:32:59Not really, no. It's a big old slab, isn't it?
0:32:59 > 0:33:02It is a big old slab and it's a big old slab of colour.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04We do tend to sell big canvases,
0:33:04 > 0:33:06colour canvases, quite well.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08This is unsigned.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12It does have some lettering on the back which is in Greek.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- Greek?- I don't think it's a name, so it's completely un-ascribed.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20It's purely a decorative thing.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Bit of colour, spray it around, looks fantastic.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- At the right price, somebody will buy it. - What would that price be?
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- I think it would be 100-200. - Perfect. Anita Manning
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- has managed to find it for £100. - I think she's done incredibly well.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35If you're rating it 100-200,
0:33:35 > 0:33:37potentially doubling the money,
0:33:37 > 0:33:42we'll have to hope that her team see the sense of going with the bonus buy.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44And that's the fun of the game.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47We'll find out in a moment. Thanks, Nick.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Going. Going.
0:33:54 > 0:34:00Blanche and Rachel, how are you feeling, you chickens?
0:34:00 > 0:34:03- A little bit nervous.- What have you got to be nervous about?
0:34:03 > 0:34:09Your first item, coming up, is the intriguing silver-plated tea set. Here it comes.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11- OK.- Link arms, there we go.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Right, we have the silver-plated tea set there.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16It's a four-piece one, 20th century.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19I can start the bidding off now at £40 on this lot.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- 40 anyone?- Come on.- 40 anywhere?
0:34:22 > 0:34:2520 then, anyone? £20 anyone? 20 bid.
0:34:25 > 0:34:2720 bid. 25 bid. 30.
0:34:27 > 0:34:3030 bid. Any advance on 30?
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Anyone going 40?
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Once at 30, twice at 30.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- Three times at 30. - That's such a bargain for someone.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Buyer 92 at 30.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- Oh, no.- That is minus £35.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46- Next is the enamelled desk set. - Which I really like.
0:34:46 > 0:34:52- I shall start the bidding off on this lot at £10.- Mr Auctioneer!
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Ten bid. 20 bid.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- 20 bid. 20 bid. 30 bid now. - He should have started higher.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Any advance on 30? It's the commissions at 30.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Are we done? At £30.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- I'm never a sore loser, but that's bad.- That's terrible.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Three times. £30 commission buyer.
0:35:09 > 0:35:10That's so upsetting.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- It's a beautiful item.- Absolutely.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15It's a joke. It was sold as a joke.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Now here comes the Swearing At Highgate.
0:35:18 > 0:35:23The Swearing At Highgate. Ten. Ten pounds.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24Ten pounds bid.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25What about 15? 15 bid.
0:35:25 > 0:35:2815 bid. 20. Any advance on that?
0:35:28 > 0:35:32£20 is now bid, any advance on that? Otherwise...
0:35:32 > 0:35:3325 now bid.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Any more for any more?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Going, going, gone.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40£25, that's minus 30.
0:35:40 > 0:35:45Yeah. It's 135, minus 165.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Look, girls, I'm really sorry about this.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50I'm sorry team, about this.
0:35:50 > 0:35:56- Are you going with his bonus buy? - Definitely.- Even if we were winning we'd still go for it.- Yeah.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Now you've made your decision,
0:35:58 > 0:36:01I can tell you the auctioneer's estimate is £80-£150
0:36:01 > 0:36:03on this item that Charles paid £50 for.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05There we go. Here it is.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06We go to market together.
0:36:06 > 0:36:11We've now got this piece of art glass from the '30s-'40s.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14I can start the bidding off at £30 this lot.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17£30. £30. £30 anywhere?
0:36:17 > 0:36:2030 bid. 30 bid. 40 bid. 50.
0:36:20 > 0:36:26- 50 bid. 50 bid. 60's here. - Creeping up.- Any advance on 60?
0:36:26 > 0:36:2765. 70.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Five. 80.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- Yes.- £80.- We're still losing.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Anyone want to go 90, otherwise I'm selling at 80. Are we all done at 80?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Once, twice, three times at 80.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Going, going, gone.
0:36:43 > 0:36:49Plus 30. Which takes your final score to minus 135.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- That's not too bad.- Not too bad. - It's not too good.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57Well, there is a result with Charles and his pot, which is good.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Who knows, at this rate, £135 could be a winning score.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- How are you feeling?- I'm feeling quite nervous.- Are you?- Yes.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Is it a bit like going into court?
0:37:12 > 0:37:15It's not entirely dissimilar, Tim.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18There is this hush and anticipation.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Absolutely, and a bit of excitement as well.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Do you know how the Reds got on?
0:37:22 > 0:37:26- We have no idea.- Your great rivals. - No idea.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Badly, I would expect.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Well, there's optimism for you.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35First up is the Boosey and Hawkes cornet and here it comes.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Lot number 510.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43- We have the Boosey and Hawkes cornet.- You are quite tense.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46I'm sure you've seen it. Who'll start me at £20?
0:37:46 > 0:37:47£20. £20.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Anyone going to bid me 20?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52£20 there with you, sir. At 20.
0:37:52 > 0:37:5430 at the back of the room.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Do you want to go 40, sir?
0:37:56 > 0:37:5840 is bid. 50 here with commissions.
0:37:58 > 0:38:0260 at the back of the room. £60. Do you want to go 70?
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- 65.- He's a legend.- At £60.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07I'm selling, then, at £60.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Back of the room at 60. 381 at 60.
0:38:10 > 0:38:16Going once, going twice, going three times.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21- Well done, Damian.- That is plus 20. - Wonderful.- So cool. Marvellous.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26- Now, next up is your shakers. - I feel the pressure now.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29511. The salt and pepper shakers. Nice lots these.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33I'm going to start the bidding off now at, who'll bid me
0:38:33 > 0:38:36£5 for that pair of salt and pepper shakers?
0:38:36 > 0:38:40£5. Five anywhere? Five bid. Ten bid. Ten bid.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41Any advance on ten?
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Anyone want to go for any more than ten?
0:38:44 > 0:38:49- I'm going to sell at ten.- Oh no! - 12 bid. Any advance on 12?
0:38:49 > 0:38:55I'm at £12. Any advance on 12? I'm going to sell with commissions at £12. Going. Going.
0:38:55 > 0:39:01- Gone.- Minus eight.- OK. - You're still plus 12. - It could have been worse.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02You'll have to live with it!
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Now, here comes the candlesticks.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09512. We've got the telescopic candlesticks.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12These are silver plated. At £50.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Anyone going to go 50?
0:39:14 > 0:39:1960 bid on the candlesticks. 60's now bid. What about 70?
0:39:19 > 0:39:2370 is now bid. What about 80?
0:39:23 > 0:39:2680's now bid. What about 90?
0:39:26 > 0:39:29I'm at £80. Any advance on 80?
0:39:29 > 0:39:30I'm selling at 80.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Going. Going. And gone for the third time.
0:39:34 > 0:39:41- That's pretty good.- This is good. - Lot 513.- That is plus 30 on that item.- OK.
0:39:41 > 0:39:47- So you are now plus 42.- £42 profit. - £42 profit.- Excellent.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50What are you going to do about the oil-on-board composition?
0:39:50 > 0:39:57I don't know. It's hard. It might go, but then it might jeopardize the profit we've made.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Can I be honest? I think 42 could well be a winning score.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Be careful. £42, money's in your pocket.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- So, you're going to park it? - Yes.- No bonus buy?- No.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11- We're not going with the bonus buy. - No.- OK. Fine.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16Well, now you've made that decision I have to tell you the auctioneer's estimate is £100-£200.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18He really rates it.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20That doesn't mean it's going to make it.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22We're going to see the thing sold anyway.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26You've made your decision, you've got your £42. That could be a winning score.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31But I want to find out whether this abstract's worth 100-200, which is his estimate.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33So, here it comes anyway. Just for the fun of it.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36I'm going to start the bidding off on that lot
0:40:36 > 0:40:38at £50. 50.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Anyone going to bid me 60?
0:40:40 > 0:40:4250. 60 bid. 70.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45£70 bid. 80 front row.
0:40:45 > 0:40:4890's here, sir. Is it 100?
0:40:48 > 0:40:51100 is bid. 120 is here. Do we see 140?
0:40:51 > 0:40:52Is it 140, sir?
0:40:53 > 0:40:55140 is now bid. It's the gentleman's bid.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Seated down here at 140.
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Anyone going 160?
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Otherwise I am selling at 140.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03Going. Going. Gone.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08- Well, look at that. Congratulations, Anita.- Congratulations, Anita.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Very nice to know that your eye is absolutely in on that.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16- And bad luck, team.- And us doubting Thomases, you deserve better.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20- It could have gone either way. - We should have trusted you.
0:41:20 > 0:41:27No, don't get yourself into a row. £42 - a good profit. It could have gone the other way.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- Yep. I'm pleased with 42. - You've got your 42, that's good.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34- Don't say a word to the Reds, OK? 42 could be a winning score.- OK.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37- Excellent. Well done.- Thanks.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47Well, well, well. What a day we have had today, haven't we kids?
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- Good was it? Everybody enjoy it? - Lots of fun.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53So, have you been talking to one another, teams?
0:41:53 > 0:41:56No idea as to where we stand with the score?
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Well, I have to say, there is
0:41:58 > 0:42:00a world of difference between the two teams.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04And unfortunately - we don't have losers any more on Bargain Hunt, we only have runners-up -
0:42:04 > 0:42:07- and the runners-up are... - The Blues?- ..the Reds.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08Yes!
