0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Hello, you lot out there in the great...- Pick 'n' mix.
0:00:05 > 0:00:11- Today we're in London, believe it or not, with a... - Right Ken Dodd bangers and mash.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- Yeah!- Lovely jubbly.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16So let's go bargain hunting! Yeah...
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Actually, we're in Kingston upon Thames,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46and the word comes from King's tun, or estate.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51So, as usual, we're living up to a right royal reputation today.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Here we go.
0:00:58 > 0:01:04'I'm joining the teams at the aptly named Kingston Antiques Centre.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06'It's going to be a battle of nerves
0:01:06 > 0:01:10'to see who can spend their £300 mostly wisely in just one hour.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16'Coming up, the Reds take the competition a bit too seriously.'
0:01:16 > 0:01:18She's like a Rottweiler, this girl.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19'While the Blues...'
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Suits you fine!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25SING-SONG: David!
0:01:25 > 0:01:26As long as it's not pink!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29'Hah! But when they finally make decisions,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32'will they be wise enough to get a good result at auction?'
0:01:37 > 0:01:42Look at this! All gorgeous girl teams today. My favourite.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45First up, for the Reds, we've got Pamela and Philippa.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Welcome, girls.- BOTH: Hi. - How long have you two known each other?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53We started university together and we've known each other since then.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I'm told that you two girls were fanatically hard workers.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- You never had any time off and never had fun. Is that right? - Absolutely, Tim.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- What do you think we are, Philippa? - THEY GIGGLE
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- Come on, what's the truth? - No, we did have a few wild nights,
0:02:08 > 0:02:12driving around trying to find countryside raves, often got lost...
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Countryside what?- Raves.- Oh, rave!
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I've never been to a rave. What happens?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- You should give it a go. - LAUGHTER
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I'm too old, dear!
0:02:21 > 0:02:26No, give us the accurate low-down of a good countryside rave.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Well, it's usually in quite a spacious barn,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- nice big speakers... - Very, very loud music.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Lots of good people. - Lots of good people.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Are you going to be any good at bargain hunting today? - I certainly hope so.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Hopefully I've got an eye for quality,
0:02:40 > 0:02:46- and Pamela, with her Turkish background, brilliant haggler.- Ah!
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Shh! I might not be.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51The secret weapon has yet to be unleashed.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Well, we'll look forward to that.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Now, girls, mother and daughter Biddy and Kim.- Hello.- Hello.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02And could I perhaps describe you as our pocket team, perhaps?
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Yes. We like being in people's pockets.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Now, Biddy, how tall are you, darling?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Four foot nine.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Are you?- Mm.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15But your husband is...?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Six foot eight.- He never is! - Yes, he's that big.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Is he really?
0:03:21 > 0:03:26And, Kim, you rather took your mother's genes, I would say.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29No, I'm little and good, but she's not.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31BIDDY HOWLS WITH LAUGHTER
0:03:31 > 0:03:34She's not?! How can you say that about your mum?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Biddy, what do you get up to with your time?- My leisure time...
0:03:38 > 0:03:41is my family, really - my grandchildren.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43My husband and I belong to a bike club.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- A motorbike club?- Yeah.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Once a year we have a rally, which is called the Rabbit Rally,
0:03:49 > 0:03:55and my friend and myself dress up as bunnies and serve up breakfast.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Let's see whether you've got your tail on.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00No, no tail today. Good.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03You're just telling me a tall tail, aren't you?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Kim, what do you think of your mother dressing up as a rabbit?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Well... what can I say, really?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11What can I say?
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Anything to do with dressing up and having a laugh, she would do it.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Nothing ever surprises me or fazes me any more.- No?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22But then I think some of that has brushed off on me
0:04:22 > 0:04:25because I love dressing up and going to fancy-dresses.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I do like to have a little party.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Aren't they lovely, these two?
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Absolutely welded from the hip, I would say. Look at that.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- GIGGLING - We're going to have fun today.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42We haven't even started and they're paralytic! No, I didn't say that.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Anyway, now the money moment. Here's your £300.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!
0:04:49 > 0:04:51And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Cor! We're going to have a right rave-up today.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57'Our very own raver, Philip Serrell,
0:04:57 > 0:05:01'hopes to have the Reds wound around his little finger.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05'And helping the Blues find their way around is David Barby.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12'The hour starts when the doors open.'
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Welcome to heaven. The world's your oyster.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Yay!- Oh! Spoilt for choice, really. - Don't know where to start!
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- GIGGLING - 'Oh, Lord!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26'This team looks like double trouble. What do you think, David?'
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I don't know. I don't know.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32They're wonderful to go round with, so enthusiastic about things.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35GIGGLING
0:05:35 > 0:05:38But there's so much here to look at and so short a time.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Oh, it's a pig! Oh, yes!
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Oh, yes! I'm a pig-lover, you see.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46But it's as modern as being made yesterday.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Aw!- Sorry about that, girls.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56'Philip looks like he's having an easier time with the Reds.'
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Do you like globes?- Yeah, I do. - Priced at £25.- OK. That's not bad.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- That's my sort of price range. - Is it?- Yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08I used to teach geography, and the trick of dating these things is...
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Well, Sri Lanka is Sri Lanka and not Ceylon.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14If it was old, it would be Ceylon and not Sri Lanka.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16So there's a clue for us.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21It says made in the German Democratic Republic, July 1985.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Oh!
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I'm born on July 1985!
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- See? You've got to buy it. - You've got to buy that now.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- I'm not sure. What do you think? - I like it but if you're not sure...
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- It's the same age as you in the same month as you.- Yeah.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- We'll still think about it.- OK. - She's cautious.- She certainly is.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42What you could do is ask this good lady if she'll put it by.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- Then we can always come back.- Great idea.- If you find anything else...
0:06:46 > 0:06:48You do that and then we'll wander down this way.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Or up that way or some other way.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51'Hedging your bets.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56'It's a tried and tested technique for you, isn't it, Phil?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59'David's trying to appeal to Biddy and Kim's femininity
0:06:59 > 0:07:02'to get the first item in their bag.'
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Ladies, what about this?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- That's good.- This is solid silver.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- Do you use a compact today? - Occasionally. I think every woman should have one.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15So you've got the mirror there.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18You'd have your little pat of face powder,
0:07:18 > 0:07:22and you would use that to just powder your nose.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25But the important element is this here,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28the symbol for the Royal Artillery.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33This means it was given by an officer to his lady friend
0:07:33 > 0:07:37in the 1930s, maybe as an engagement gift.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39People are very keen on militaria.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I rather like that, actually.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45But I would hope that it would be round about £25, not £45.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Shall we see what we can do?- Yes.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Continue to look at these and if there's anything else,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- and I'll just nip to see the lady. - Good luck!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55GIGGLING
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- I think David is pretty good.- Yes. - Well, we hope so.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- When he comes back after he barters...- He barters for us.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07..if he comes back with a good bargain, he's a good man.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Please!- Be with us today.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- Ladies.- Well? Well?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15£25.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Oh, you are brilliant!
0:08:18 > 0:08:20LAUGHTER
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Excuse my daughter.- Well done!
0:08:24 > 0:08:29'That's our Mr Barby! A charmer and a top-notch negotiator.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31'But he's not the only one.'
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- We've got a pair of bowls. - One of them is damaged.- Right.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37This one here.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40They're out of our price range. £325 for the pair.
0:08:40 > 0:08:46I asked whether we could have the non-damaged one for £70, so she's checking that out.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49£75 is the best, because we're splitting the set.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Are you sure you can't do £70? - It was £325.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57- Are you sure you can't do £70 at all?- No.- OK.- Thank you.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- I'll tell you what, she is ferocious. - SHE GIGGLES
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I'm beginning to feel sorry for these people.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Come on, girls.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- 'And Pamela doesn't stop there.' - I like that plate.- It's only £18.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10I think that's nice.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14If you can get it down a lot, an awful lot... You know.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I'd be happy with £5, I think, for that.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19She's like a Rottweiler, this girl.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21We're thinking about £5.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Thanks a lot. Bye.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25It can be £10, that one.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31'Time for a team chat, I think, Philip.'
0:09:31 > 0:09:37This ferocious dealing technique of yours, we haven't actually bought anything yet.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Oops.- And...
0:09:39 > 0:09:43I suppose that's a novel way. If you don't buy anything at all...
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- You don't lose anything. - So you might win.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Oh, hello.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Cor, you're not going to believe this.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58I have just found this,
0:09:58 > 0:10:02a utilitarian piece of kitchenalia.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08Now, in the old days, Edwardian country house days,
0:10:08 > 0:10:13you would have the home farm across the park, where there'd be a dairy,
0:10:13 > 0:10:17and they would produce milk, butter and cheese for the big house.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Now, underneath it says "Cobble Stone".
0:10:21 > 0:10:24That's the pattern of these cobbly-type stones.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Now, what got me excited about this
0:10:27 > 0:10:30is that bits of kitchenalia in the way of ceramics
0:10:30 > 0:10:33are extremely sought-after,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36and there's only one man in the UK that I know
0:10:36 > 0:10:39who handles this stuff regularly.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41So what I've done is to take a snap of this.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44He's looked at the photograph. This is what he says.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46"Such scarce items of desirability
0:10:46 > 0:10:51"can create the 'auction hype' all vendors desire."
0:10:51 > 0:10:55£400 to £600 is his estimate.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56What would it cost you here?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58£12.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Now, that's what I call a buttery bargain.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Decisions, decisions!
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Decisions, decisions! Oooh!
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- That's a silver holder for artist crayons.- Oh, right!
0:11:11 > 0:11:16- Now, that is unusual and very, very quirky.- Yeah.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I think at £95 that's rather a lot of money.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I'm going to check up on this.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Oh! Now, look at this.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Do you know what that's for? - BIDDY LAUGHS
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- It's silver.- Yeah?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28It's a lady's dusting brush.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Oh! I'll have some.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33SHE COOS
0:11:33 > 0:11:35You don't know where this has been.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Again, it's an unusual object. Quirky little object.- It is.
0:11:39 > 0:11:46You'd have seen this on a dressing table, used by a maidservant to brush down her mistress.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Yeah.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- You can imagine Upstairs, Downstairs... - These big mansion houses.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Yeah, that's my house.- Yes. - THEY LAUGH
0:11:54 > 0:11:57In other words, it's for talc, love. I'll go and check on price.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- It looks a bit like a piggy there. - You and your pigs!
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Well, look! A piggy's head, going down to his little tail.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08KIM LAUGHS
0:12:08 > 0:12:11'It can be anything you want it to be, Biddy,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14'as long as it makes a profit.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18'The Blues are at least showing an interest in buying something,
0:12:18 > 0:12:22'whereas the Reds haven't parted with any cash yet.'
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Do you like that?- Hm... no.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27OK. That's Serrell's attempted call done.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I think it's a bit plain.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- No, I don't think... - Don't like it?- No.- OK.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Do you like these? - Yeah, I think they're nice.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Sorry?- I think they're quite nice.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- What, I pointed something out and you like it?- Yeah.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- But I don't.- Oh, right.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48'Time to point them in the right direction, Phil.'
0:12:48 > 0:12:49I've got a plan.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51You choose something, you choose something,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54and then I'll say to you, "I'd like you to buy that."
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- All right?- Yeah.- Right, I'd like you to buy that globe.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00We've now had 15 to 20 minutes and haven't bought a thing.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Done. Girls, go find your way home.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- Excellent.- £15 that's cost. - That's really good.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- That's guaranteed a profit. £15. - Thanks.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11OK, so that's one in the bag.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Oh, my life...!
0:13:14 > 0:13:16'Brilliant. Well done, Reds.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21'At just 15 smackers, the globe could turn out to be a bargain.'
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Want a bit of a brush, Bid?
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Ugh!
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I tell you what, the cameraman could do with a bit of a brush.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Yes, what are we up to? - GIGGLING I'm sorry.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- We were wondering where to put the brush.- Yeah. I'm sorry.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36GIGGLING
0:13:36 > 0:13:42- Quite interesting. Did you like it? - We were coming up with new names for it.- That's £10.- Oh! Right.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- I like these. - They'll come down to £70.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49It's not that early. It's 1946.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54I think it's going to be the brush. We need to make some profit.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- I'm a bit worried about the crayon holder.- That's a wise decision.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00That means we've only got one object to find
0:14:00 > 0:14:03and we've got rather a lot of money to spend.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06'£265, to be precise.'
0:14:08 > 0:14:10- I would wear that.- You would? - What's going on here?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- We're just making a long-distance call. - LAUGHTER
0:14:13 > 0:14:16It's a trunk call.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20No, it's not! It's a handbag! It's not a trunk call!
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Where does he get these old jokes? - Terrible, isn't it?
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- How many items have you bought? - We bought the one.- Just one? - WE haven't bought one.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- Sorry. YOU'VE bought one. - I've bought one. - You've just got to buck up.- I know.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Girls, what about this?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Oh, yeah!- Ooh! Sexy!
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Isn't that lovely?- Suits you fine!
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Biddy, I can see you in bed now, with your little face poking through.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49'David! What would Mrs Barby say?
0:14:49 > 0:14:52'It's good to see everyone's having such fun...'
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Get out of here!
0:14:54 > 0:14:57'..but I thought I told you lot to buck up!'
0:14:57 > 0:15:01We've had the thick end of 40 minutes and I have bought my globe,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03and you two are pontificating.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Oh, I like that teapot.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12'At last they're listening to Phil. He is the expert, after all.'
0:15:12 > 0:15:14There we go.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19This is called Canton ware, or "famille rose" rather.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23It's Cantonese. It dates from about 1880, 1890.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Modestly collectible.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27So go on, have a good look at it.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Yeah, I would quite like to drink tea out of that.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- You would?- Green tea or something.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Although I have spotted another one up there which looks quite nice.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46'Yes. It's almost identical.'
0:15:46 > 0:15:48There doesn't appear to be too much difference.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I'll put this back, shall I?
0:15:50 > 0:15:54When you go shopping normally, is it a long, long day?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57'Girls will be girls, Phil.'
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Yeah, I think we'll go with that
0:15:59 > 0:16:01and see if they can give it to us for £20?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- She's a hard bargainer, this girl. Here you go.- Thanks.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- You go and do your best.- OK.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09'Originally the teapot was £89,
0:16:09 > 0:16:13'but if anyone can get it for a bargain price, it's Pamela.'
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Yay! I got it for £20. - Oh! Brilliant. Well done.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Hallelujah. Well done, my love.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21I'll give you a hug, too.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24'Don't get too excited yet, Reds.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27'You've still got one item to go, and the clock's ticking.'
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- What have you done with Kim? - Erm... I've lost her.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- There she is!- Hello, Kim. - She's so little I can't find her.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- Found you underneath the chair, darling. - LAUGHTER
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- I'm standing. - LAUGHTER
0:16:42 > 0:16:45That's a really "meow" thing to say!
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Are you having a nice time?- Yes.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- Are you having what they call a larf?- Having a larf!
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Well, you're with the maestro of laughs here.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55If he can't tickle you up, I don't know who can.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00- Oh, we've done that already. - He's been tickling us.- Oh, yes! - Any old opportunity for Mr Barby.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- Now, you bought two items. Are you happy?- Yes, we are.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- One more to find. What we need is a stunner, don't we?- Yes.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Like these two.- Whoo! - LAUGHTER
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- I can be up for auction.- Yes, yes! - Like us three.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- They're just the size for you, David.- Yeah, just the right size!
0:17:18 > 0:17:22You've only got quarter of an hour left.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- Choose sensibly, girls. Good luck. - All right. Bye!
0:17:26 > 0:17:29No pressure. No pressure!
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Right, let's move on.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36I quite like that, but I don't know that you'll make a profit because of the damage.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40But sometimes the damaged look makes it look nicer.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44This sort of style here, it's very Persian, isn't it?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- My dad's Persian.- Is he?- Yeah.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48My parents have some stuff like this at home.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51We should go shopping in your parents' house.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52'With only ten minutes left,
0:17:52 > 0:17:57'it might be time for you Reds to start saying yes instead of no.'
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Pamela and Philippa,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02it's pee or get off the pot.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05'Or even find yourselves another pot!'
0:18:05 > 0:18:08'Just don't lose your expert, like the Blues have.'
0:18:08 > 0:18:10SING-SONG: David!
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Yes?- Whoo-hoo!
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- As long as it's not pink! - No, no, it's not pink!
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Look! Mind your back.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- It's got pink in it, Kimber! - It has!
0:18:23 > 0:18:25God, I love it! I love it, I love it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Do you love it?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29It's Burmantoft. That's very good.
0:18:29 > 0:18:36Burmantoft, one of the major artefactorists of the 19th century.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40You can feel the texture of the petals.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44This is wonderful. This is called slipware. Very good.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48I also like this moulded decoration here, which is so clever,
0:18:48 > 0:18:52very much in the manner of Arts and Crafts coming into Art Nouveau.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54There is some damage here.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56If that was in perfect condition,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59£400 to £500, if not more.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02So, Kim, what drew you to this?
0:19:02 > 0:19:03It was standing there so grand,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06the colour, and I was thinking it looks really pretty.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10People collect walking sticks. Absolutely ideal. Brollies.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13You can still use it today. That's a good choice.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17I'll check on the price, see if I can get it slightly lower than £88.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Keep your fingers crossed.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Ohhh...!- Oh, hello!
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- £50.- Whoo!
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Kim, very well spotted.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Do I say £50 to her? - BOTH: Yes.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31OK, let me give it a caress. Mmm!
0:19:31 > 0:19:32'Oh, dear. That's not hygienic.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36'Well done, Blues. You can go and put your feet up now.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40'For Pamela and Philippa, antiques they're keen on are like buses.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45'There's none for ages, then two come along smartish.'
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Right, Phil. We've got our prices.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49This for £65,
0:19:49 > 0:19:51and that for £40.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52I'd buy that, definitely.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56That probably isn't silver. There's no actual hallmark.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58So that makes me think a bit.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02This little penknife, I love the way that blade
0:20:02 > 0:20:05is engraved to match the rest of it.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07It's hallmarked silver. The hallmark's there.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10You can just see the crown, which tells us it's Sheffield.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Definitely buy this. You've done really well.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- I'm happy.- Great. It's that one, then. Brilliant.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Well done, well done, well done.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Time's up!
0:20:23 > 0:20:26But who will win the wooden spoon, eh?
0:20:26 > 0:20:31'The Reds, who found it incredibly difficult to part with their cash,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34'paid just £15 for the student's globe.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37'Pamela "famille rose" to the occasion
0:20:37 > 0:20:40'when she discovered the £20 teapot.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43'For their last item, they became a bit more generous
0:20:43 > 0:20:46'with the silver penknife, parting with a massive £40.'
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Are you relieved?- Hugely relieved!
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Well, I'm relieved that you finished.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55So we've had multiple relief all round.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- It's been an interesting hour, but we got there.- In the end.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02But they're girls, Phil. You know what the form is when it comes to shopping.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Now, £225 of leftover lolly from somebody, please.- OK.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09I don't know how you can hand that over. It's such a huge amount!
0:21:09 > 0:21:15I can book into a hotel for some R and R with part of this and buy something with the rest of it.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Quite frankly, you could go for a week with all that cash.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Well done, girls. Good luck, Phil.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:21:24 > 0:21:29'The compact and bijou Blues bought something just like themselves,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31'for £25.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33'They stayed on a silver theme
0:21:33 > 0:21:38'and paid £10 for the Edwardian powder brush.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43'Finally, £50 was spent on the walking-stick stand.'
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- Are you pleased that's all over and done with?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- Been great fun, hasn't it?- It has. - You have been amazing, you girls!
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- This has been a giggle and a scream for one whole hour.- Absolutely.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58He'll be glad to go home. LAUGHTER
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Go home for a lie-down.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03So, tell us all which is your favourite bit, Kim?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- Mine is the brush.- Is it?
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I like the vase, but I think the brush is going to be best.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- You're mad about the brush.- Yeah.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Mad as a brush. No, I didn't say that.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18- And which is your favourite, Biddy? - I liked the compact.- Right.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22- How much did you spend overall? Something pathetic, wasn't it? - KIM LAUGHS
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- How much?- £85.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28So £215 of leftover lolly to go straight up to David.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Thank you very much.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- What a lot to spend! - Do you need help?- Yes!
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I shall try and find something jolly.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- What, jollier than these two? - Well, if I can.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- I would say...- That's an impossibility.- Impossibility!
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Anyway, good luck, kids. Good luck, David.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Meanwhile, we're heading off somewhere positively divine.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Which is Dyrham Park, near Bath.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53All typically British, really,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56but once upon a time its owner, William Blathwayt,
0:22:56 > 0:23:01became inspired by the Dutch King of England, William of Orange.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Blathwayt went Dutch big time.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07He learned the lingo, he moved to Holland,
0:23:07 > 0:23:12he even took an apartment in a Dutch royal palace.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16So it's not surprising that his country seat
0:23:16 > 0:23:18has a certain Dutch flavour to it.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31And boy, just look at this fellow!
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Now, William Blathwayt, when in Holland,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37would have got really excited by these.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43It's simply a question of decorating boring old clay.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Which is exactly like drawing on blotting paper.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51If you've ever done that, you know you only get one crack at it.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54And these are extremely finely decorated
0:23:54 > 0:23:57if you look at the detail
0:23:57 > 0:24:01that the decorators were able to achieve.
0:24:03 > 0:24:09This classical scene, extracted from an old master engraving,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11with a perspective of buildings and so forth,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14would be incredibly difficult to do.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Having decorated it, you put a lead glaze over the top and then fire it.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22And that's how you create Dutch Delft.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27This particular piece is a flower pyramid,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30sometimes called tulip pyramids.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34You build it up from the bottom, put the water inside,
0:24:34 > 0:24:39put your four flowers, then proceed up this confection,
0:24:39 > 0:24:44all to show off your specimens of floral art.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Incredible.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48The big question today is, of course,
0:24:48 > 0:24:53what will our teams have to show off about over at the auction?
0:24:55 > 0:24:59401 is a guard's tunic by John Hammond & Co.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- In case you need to know, it's size 30. - TITTERING
0:25:02 > 0:25:05You never know when you might need one.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09And £50, and it really is fair warning. At £50.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12We've left Kingston and come to West Sussex
0:25:12 > 0:25:14to Rupert Toovey's saleroom.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- How are you, boss?- I'm well, thanks, Tim. Jolly nice to see you.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Now let's get down to it.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23The Red team, first up, bought this German globe.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26It is the most appalling quality globe I've ever seen.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Plastic bottom, plastic top, badly printed.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- 20 quid? - If you're lucky on a good day.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36I think it came out of some low-grade East German school
0:25:36 > 0:25:39and it's not worth two old Deutschmarks.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41I mean, ten, five, eight, three...
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- It'll make what it makes. - I'm afraid it will, yes.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47They paid £15 and thought it was, obviously, pretty good.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Now, Pamela went with this Canton cylindrical teapot,
0:25:52 > 0:25:54which is very bright and breezy.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57It is pretty, that Canton "famille rose" palette,
0:25:57 > 0:26:01and very typically decorated with panels of figures and then flowers.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05- I suppose it's about 1890 in date. - Something like that.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06So, what, £20 to £40?
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- Very good. Well, £20 was paid. - That sounds good.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Now, what do you think about this silver penknife?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I think it's lovely. Bright cut engraved.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20- And such fun for a picnic. It would really cheer it up.- Yes.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- Rather civilising. - And if it happens to be in silver, what could be nicer?
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Very nice indeed.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- So, £30 to £40.- OK, £40 paid. - It's a good thing.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32When he says it's a good thing, it's a good thing.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35They may not need their bonus buy, but let's have a look at it.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Pamela and Philippa,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41you only spent £75.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Gave him £225.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Philip, what did you spend it on?
0:26:46 > 0:26:50A really little sweet Royal Worcester rustic pot.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53The most important thing is this little finch on the front.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57If you look closely, there's a signature here - W Powell.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00William Powell was the best painter of birds
0:27:00 > 0:27:03at the Worcester factory in the 20th century, I think.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05I'd estimate that at £100 to £150.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- And how much did you pay? - I bought it for £50.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- Do you want to handle it, Philippa? - Yeah.- Don't drop, please!
0:27:12 > 0:27:14And it's in perfect condition.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- I thought it looked kind of plastic.- No, no, no.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19But you're quite right.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23That yellowish, thin stuff does look like a plastic beaker.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27But you know as soon as you touch it, it's definitely fine porcelain.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Pamela, what do you think, darling? - I like it, yeah.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32That's enough for me. That is enough.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Praise indeed!
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Anyway, you don't have to decide now.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40But for viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44There we go. There's the birdie.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Isn't that lovely?
0:27:46 > 0:27:47And painted by Powell.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50He was a hunchbacked dwarf...
0:27:50 > 0:27:52of very jolly disposition.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- Was he really?- Yeah, and terribly well known for painting birds.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58- Isn't that lovely? - How much is it worth?
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- I think £40 to £60. - OK. Serrell paid £50.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- I think he's done well. - I think he's done well.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07I think it's absolutely beautifully painted.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11You can see the little glint in that chaffinch's eye.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15It's as if to say, "I'm going to make profits."
0:28:15 > 0:28:16I do hope so, Tim.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22First up for them is the powder compact.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Nice to have the Royal Artillery emblem on it, and it's silver, which is good.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30- But gals don't seem to use powder quite as much as they did.- No?
0:28:30 > 0:28:33I'm relying on you for cutting market evidence here.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38I live in an all-girl household but I don't notice them using powder.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Not so fashionable from the using point of view.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- But people collect compacts. - They do.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- How much?- £20 to £30.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- £25 paid.- Not bad.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Now, talking of powder, we've got this little brush.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53It's a powder brush, I think,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55not for putting it on but for clearing it up.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57How much, then? Solid silver.
0:28:57 > 0:29:02But a difficult thing to display or use these days, so £5 to £10.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- £10 paid.- Not bad. - I bet you it makes more than that.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10And lastly is the Burmantofts drainpipe... I mean, stick stand.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13You're quite right because they did make drains too.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17Does that not look like a section of 2.5-inch drain?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19It's certainly cylindrical.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20But nice faience painting,
0:29:20 > 0:29:24and I like the honeysuckle, the anthemion sprays around the rim.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27But we have got a few running repairs.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- Is that why that's painted a different green?- I think it is.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- That's come out of the shed to cover it up?- Afraid so.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- What's your estimate. - £40 to £60, Tim.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37£50 paid, slap bang in the middle.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41They might get away with it. If not, they'll need their bonus buy.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43So let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49So, Biddy and Kim, two peas out of the same pod.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51- How are you girls? All right? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53David Barby, what did you spend £215 on?
0:29:53 > 0:29:57I wanted to buy something for two dolly birds,
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- and this is what I bought. - THEY GASP
0:29:59 > 0:30:041920s, silver, enamel, lovely cut crystal,
0:30:04 > 0:30:06made in Birmingham,
0:30:06 > 0:30:07and it's an atomiser.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10In other words, it's to fill with your favourite perfume,
0:30:10 > 0:30:12and you just tch, tch, tch, tch...
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Give us a bit.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17- THEY GIGGLE - You can smell a little bit there.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18But it's the Art Deco period.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23I love this combination of yellow and enamel and silver.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27What do you think? Handle it. It's one of these very tactile pieces.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- It's very heavy.- Is it?
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Yeah.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36It is nice. It just needs a bit of a polish.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39That's right. And it's quality. It's silver and crystal.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Would you use something like that, Biddy?
0:30:42 > 0:30:43SHE GIGGLES I think she would.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48I think I would like to see that on my dressing table. It's nice just to look at.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- And do you wear perfume?- Yes.- Yes.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53DAVID LAUGHS She drowns in it. Drowns.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55She does wear perfume.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00Anyway, girls, your chance will come in a moment to pick or not.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Right now, let's find out for the audience at home
0:31:03 > 0:31:06what the auctioneer thinks about David's perfume pot.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10There. That's handsome.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Nice cut-glass base.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16- It is, and silver top, too. - Silver top. That's more like it.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- And pretty yellow enamelling.- Yeah.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- So better than some, isn't it? - It certainly is.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- Excellent. So what's your estimate? - £30 to £50.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28- £45 paid by David Barby. - A bit steep but he might be lucky.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32He might be. He is a lucky man, usually, with his bonus buys.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35That's, of course, providing the team take it.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- Now, are you getting ready? - I'm ready.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Good. We're in safe hands.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46'Before we get going, I'd like to show you something I've taken a shine to.'
0:31:46 > 0:31:47Marvellous.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50We're always saying on this programme
0:31:50 > 0:31:53how important novelty objects are,
0:31:53 > 0:31:57and, quite frankly, the sky can be the limit.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00What do you think about this little chap?
0:32:00 > 0:32:02The body is clear glass.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Its back has been applied with a handle.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08You've then got two cast feet,
0:32:08 > 0:32:12but it's the head that's the most characterful part.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Look. Two glass eyes that look realistic.
0:32:15 > 0:32:22But the parakeet cockatoo curl on the back of the plumage on its head
0:32:22 > 0:32:24I think is just charming.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27This is silversmithing at its very best.
0:32:27 > 0:32:32And if you apply your thumb to the bottom of its hairdo,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34lo and behold, the thing opens like that.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Isn't that delightful?
0:32:36 > 0:32:40It's described in the catalogue as a "whisky tot decanter".
0:32:40 > 0:32:42If you were drinking whisky rather than wine,
0:32:42 > 0:32:46you'd simply pour yourself out a tot and add a bit of water
0:32:46 > 0:32:48while the meal was going ahead.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50So what's a little fellow like this worth?
0:32:50 > 0:32:54The auction house has been encouraged to put the estimate
0:32:54 > 0:33:00of £2,000 to £3,000 on this little twitter.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01We shall see.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07£26.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09- Kids, how are you doing? - Pretty good.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- I like the glasses.- Thanks. - What strength are they?
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Not very strong. - Not strong enough for me.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Anyway, any piece you wish you hadn't bought?
0:33:18 > 0:33:22- Hmm... I'm not too sure about the globe.- The student's globe.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Listen, you only invested £15, right?
0:33:24 > 0:33:29It is the worst-quality globe that anybody could ever see anywhere in the world.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34So, first up is Phil's student globe. Achtung, here it comes.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Schnell, schnell. Donner und Blitzen.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39A late 20th-century German student's globe
0:33:39 > 0:33:41inscribed "Rath Political Globe".
0:33:41 > 0:33:45It's 21 centimetres in diameter and it's on a Bakelite stand.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46£20?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48£10?
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- £5?- Uh-oh.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Not good.
0:33:52 > 0:33:53OK, fine.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55At £5 now. £7 can I see?
0:33:55 > 0:33:58At £5 now. Any advance on £5?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00It's the maiden bid of £5.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01At £5, thank you, sir.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03£5.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06I'm afraid this is minus £10.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Slightly predicted, but there we are.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10Now, the Canton pot.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Chinese Canton "famille rose".
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Porcelain teapot and cover of cylindrical form.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17It's a charming thing, and bits to match.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19We're opening at £45.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23- £45! He doubled your money already. - Well done.- Hey, look at that.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26£48 it is. £50. And 5?
0:34:26 > 0:34:30£50 here. At £50. Any advance? With the book at £50.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Fair warning. £50.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36You are plus £30. How cool is that!
0:34:36 > 0:34:37I told you it would do well.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Overall you're plus £20.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Now you've got your penknife.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43An Edwardian silver folding pocketknife
0:34:43 > 0:34:46with engraved foliate scroll decoration,
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Sheffield 1902 by Walker & Hall.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- Charming thing. Just right for a picnic.- Charming.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Again, conflicting bids. We're opening the bidding at £55.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- That's good.- Yes!
0:34:58 > 0:35:02£55. Is there any advance on £55?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Selling, then, at £55. £55.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09£55. That's another plus £15.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13Little ones, you are already plus £35.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15You were worried about not making a profit, Pamela?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- How cool is that?- That's good.
0:35:17 > 0:35:22What are you going to do? You could risk it and go with the painted pot.
0:35:22 > 0:35:28- What do you think?- I kind of want to hang on to that £35.- Me, too.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32- I think we'll stick with the £35. - We're not going to go for it.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36- Are you sure?- Sorry, Phil.- After the globe, you're probably right.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40The decision is not to go with the bonus buy. But we're selling it anyway.
0:35:40 > 0:35:46397 is a Royal Worcester bone china pot, circa 1923, of coopered form,
0:35:46 > 0:35:49painted with a chaffinch by Powell.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51A beautiful thing.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53We're opening this at £30. Can I see £32?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55At £30 now. £32 can I see?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57£32. £34. £36.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59£38. £40.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01£38 here with the book. £38.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05- At £38. Is there any advance? - That really is a gift.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07At £38, then. Fair warning.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08£38.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10- £38. Minus £12.- Well done.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13Girls, you ring-fenced it. You are plus £35.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17That could easily be, on today's performance, a winning score.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21- Enough for the pub.- So don't say a word... Enough for the pub?!
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Hooray! At £20 and 4.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Can I see £26 now? Marvellous.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Next up is the whisky tot.
0:36:34 > 0:36:40That parrot-topped whisky tot that I think is just the jolly business.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44Very rich estimate on it. £2,000 to £3,000.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Is it going to take off or not?
0:36:47 > 0:36:50The late-Victorian, silver-mounted and clear-glass novelty whisky tot
0:36:50 > 0:36:52in the form of a parrot,
0:36:52 > 0:36:55the hinged head with glass eyes and finely engraved decoration.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Charming thing. We're opening with the book at £1800.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03£1,800. Can I see £1,900?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05At £1,800, then, maiden bid.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08£1,800. £1,800.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12£1800. I think that's quite cheap.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16At £10. Is there any advance on £10?
0:37:16 > 0:37:18£20?
0:37:18 > 0:37:21And £10 it is. £10.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Now, Biddy and Kim, happy?- Yes!
0:37:24 > 0:37:29- Do you know how the Reds got on? - No.- No, I don't want you to know.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30Anyway, you only spent £85.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33It seems to me, middle for diddle, you should be fine.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- Feeling OK?- Yes.- Not at all breathless?- No, excited.- Good.
0:37:37 > 0:37:42If the worst comes to the worst, you can always go for the anti-smell device,
0:37:42 > 0:37:44the scent atomiser, as your bonus buy.
0:37:44 > 0:37:49Anyway, first up is the Royal Artillery compact. Here it comes.

0:38:14 > 0:38:16At £18. Can I see the £20?

0:38:23 > 0:38:26£26. £28. £30.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Just keep trying the girls.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29At £28. Can I see the £30?
0:38:29 > 0:38:33At £28. Are you all done at £28?
0:38:33 > 0:38:34Fair warning. £28.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36£28.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38That is plus £3. Well done, David.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- Oh!- That's marvellous.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Now, David found this little brush for a £10 note.
0:38:43 > 0:38:48Brush with embossed foliate decoration, Birmingham 1904.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51What shall we say for that lot, please? £20?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53£10. £10 I'm bid.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55We're off at £10. Can I see £12?
0:38:56 > 0:38:58£10. Now £12 I'm bid. And £14.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01£16. £18.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03£20. And 2.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- Now at £22... - £22. You've doubled your money.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08£20. Is there any advance on £20?
0:39:08 > 0:39:11At £20. Is there any advance on £20?
0:39:11 > 0:39:12At £20. £20.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- That's good.- That is plus £10.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19- Well done. Isn't David Barby brilliant?- You are brilliant.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Now, what about the stick stand?
0:39:21 > 0:39:25A Burmantofts faience pottery stick stand, late 19th century,
0:39:25 > 0:39:28with those lovely anthemion spray bands.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31What shall we say for that lot, please? £40?
0:39:31 > 0:39:33£30 then, please.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34Oh, dear.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Does that make it my fault?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- This is Burmantofts! - £20?
0:39:39 > 0:39:41- £10?- Oh, sh...
0:39:41 > 0:39:45I'm bid at £10 now. £10. Opening at £10. At £10 now.
0:39:45 > 0:39:46Can I see the £12?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48At £10 now. £12 can I see?
0:39:48 > 0:39:50At £10. Is there any advance on £10?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54At £10, then. £10.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- Oh, no!- Oh, that's ridiculous.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58The family shame! £10!
0:39:58 > 0:40:00The family shame!
0:40:02 > 0:40:04That is minus £40 on that item.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08You had £13 before, so you're now minus £27.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10£27 down the proverbial.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13What are you going to do about the atomiser? Will you go with that?
0:40:13 > 0:40:18- I think we...- We'll have to, won't we?- Go for it, yes.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20- You're going to go for it? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23The girls are going for the atomiser, and here it comes.

0:40:48 > 0:40:49£32 with you, sir.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51At £32 in the doorway.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54£32. Is there any advance on £32?
0:40:54 > 0:40:57And it's with you, sir. At £32 we're held.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- Oh, it's worth more than that. - £32.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- HE BANGS GAVEL - Oh, Lord.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04£32. Bad luck, David.
0:41:04 > 0:41:05That is minus £13.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09All right. No shame in that. Minus £40 could be a winning score.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- Don't tell anybody anything, right? - We promise we won't.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14We'll do the walk of shame.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17No, no need to do the walk of shame. Walk...
0:41:17 > 0:41:19I was going to say, "Walk tall."
0:41:22 > 0:41:24£46, and it's fair warning.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- Well, well, well. Have you been talking to each other?- No.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39Because, quite frankly, the results are extremely close...
0:41:39 > 0:41:40numerically.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- Numerically? - LAUGHTER
0:41:45 > 0:41:50One team has a profit that almost equals the other team's loss...
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Blues!
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Yes, you know it's you.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56- Minus £40, girls.- Aw!
0:41:56 > 0:42:00It started off so brilliantly. Plus £3, plus £10,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03then that wretched Burmantofts pot came along
0:42:03 > 0:42:04and lost you £40.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08You were way ahead there and then it plunged you to minus £27.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Then you went with the bonus buy, and look at where you are now.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14- Minus £40. - GIGGLING
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Listen to them giggling!
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Even through adversity they're giggling.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23You've been lovely. Thank you very much, Biddy and Kim. And thank you, David.
0:42:23 > 0:42:28But the victors today are actually going to take home nearly £40.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- You're going to take £35, girls. - Yes.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36So don't talk to me about youth and inexperience
0:42:36 > 0:42:38because these kids have cracked it.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42Brilliant. You have done really, really well.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44- Going to the pub?- I think so. - Exactly!
0:42:44 > 0:42:48That is the right attitude to take, and I think you need to take Philip with you.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- We've had a great day.- Yeah. - I'm glad you've enjoyed it.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:42:54 > 0:42:55Yes!
