0:00:03 > 0:00:09Well, I'm here and you're there. So let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:37 > 0:00:42Welcome to the International Antiques and Collectors Fair
0:00:42 > 0:00:45at the Newark and Nottingham Showground.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48The sun is shining upon us,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50but will it be shining upon our teams?
0:00:51 > 0:00:54On today's hunt, the Red Team of Bill and Val
0:00:54 > 0:00:57are advised by Paul Laidlaw.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Get in amongst it. You've got to look, touch.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05While Jeremy Lamond will be leading Jeff and Sandra for the Blue Team.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09HE PLAYS FANFARE You've done that before!
0:01:09 > 0:01:13They've got one hour to shop for a profit,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16and it looks like the women will be in charge. What's new?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18If I like it, that's it.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Follow me.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- Don't let him buy that, Paul! - That one?- 20, as well.- No!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26In charge of profits today
0:01:26 > 0:01:29will be the Master of Ceremonies, Colin Young.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34And I will take a visit to Northamptonshire.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Or is it America? Oh, dear.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Did they look a friendly bunch? I think so. Let's go and meet them!
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- And here they are. Hello, everyone. - ALL: Hello.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Now, Bill, tell me how you and Val met.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56It was back in 1964, we both worked at the same factory.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58A friend bet me five shillings,
0:01:58 > 0:02:0225 pence in new money, that I couldn't get a date with her.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- And how many years have you been together?- 45.- Have you?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Val, you had a pretty unusual maiden name, didn't you?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Yes, I did. My maiden name was Christmas.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16And when I was at school, I used to get ribbed terribly.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20One young guy said to me,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23"Valerie, what's your middle name?" I said, "It's May."
0:02:23 > 0:02:27So he said, "Oh, Very Merry!"
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Very Merry Christmas! - After that, I was always called Very Merry Christmas!
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- So, quite keen to get married to get rid of Christmas?- I didn't mind it.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39You grow up with it, so it doesn't matter.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- But you've got a few nicknames from your grandchildren.- Yes. - What's your nickname?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46My name's Nana Duckboard.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Nana Duck...?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Duckboard. Because I collect ducks
0:02:49 > 0:02:54and I used to call my grandchildren "my little duck" when they were small.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Bill, well, he's Blinky Bill, after an Australian...
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- An Australian bear. - Off the TV, a kiddies' programme.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Yeah, yeah.- No hair and big ears!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09What will your tactics be, you two?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Ooh... Buy what we like, you know? - Yes.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17I wouldn't buy it if I didn't think it would suit someone else.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- That's what you're going to go for? - Yes.- Bill, you'll do what you're told?
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- I'll do what I'm told. - Carry the bags.- He doesn't do that!
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Now, Sandra, how did you and Jeff meet?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I worked as a hairdresser many years ago,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34and a friend that worked with me was getting married
0:03:34 > 0:03:36and wanted a girl to sing at the reception.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40She knew that I was a singer, but we needed someone to play the keyboard.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44So she knew a friend that knew Jeff, working in a band previous.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47We got together and put a few things together.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50How did you become a singer?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Once again, through somebody at the salon. Her father was in a band
0:03:54 > 0:03:57and he was wanting someone to front the band.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I went along to the auditions, I was only 16 at the time,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- and I managed to get the job. - Very brave!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Jeff, you have been a fireman.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Any particular incidents that stick in your mind?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12One that sticks in my mind is,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15we got called to a lady that was stuck in handcuffs.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19When we got there, she was handcuffed with her arms and legs together.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Unfortunately, she was naked. We had to use the utmost discretion.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28What really scared us, there was a camera set up on a tripod, filming everything.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31So we were a little bit scared.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35We acted as professionally as we could and got out very quickly.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Sandra, you've had to call Jeff out, too, haven't you?- I did, Tim.
0:04:39 > 0:04:45A few years back, when my little girl was small, I could smell fire in the kitchen.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I was on the phone, so I brought my little girl in.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- I actually realised that her nappy had run through.- Oh.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56As I walked through the kitchen door to see all the flames,
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- my little pup had done a poo-poo on the floor... - A double poo-poo moment.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- ..and I went on my backside. - Did you?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06I was in a plaster cast. I'd just had my first spinal operation.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Oh.- So I crawl back to the hallway to get to the phone
0:05:09 > 0:05:12and ring 999 to get the Fire Service out,
0:05:12 > 0:05:14because my husband was on nights, you see.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I got the message and it was my own address!
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- I drove extra quick that night! - TIM LAUGHS
0:05:20 > 0:05:23How do you think you'll get on as a team?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- As long as I do as I'm told... - We'll be very well.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Seems to me that the men have had it all round with this lot!
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Anyway, here we go. £300, Sandra. - Thank you.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- £300.- Thank you. - You know the rules.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39Your experts await. Off you go! Very, very good luck.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Are we looking for anything in particular?- Not really.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I'd just like something that I like. If I like it, that's it.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- Sounds good. Bill? - Same thing. If we like it, buy it.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- If it's cheap enough! - I like that bit at the end!
0:05:55 > 0:06:01Jeff and Sandra, here we are. Lots to go at. You've got the world at your feet, as it were.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04The sun is not shining for us, so we'd better be quick.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09- Let's go.- OK. This way. Follow me.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Well, we can see who's going to be in charge today.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Get in amongst it. You've got to look, touch.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- If you see anything, just shout out. - I will do.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26That piano stool's quite a nice piece of furniture.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Look at the squirrel in the box. That's dreadful.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35Not much fun for him, is it? Still, there are a lot of goodies here today, folks.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- Do you do glass at all?- Oh, yes. - Look at the form of that.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44It looks like a shouldered decanter.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47You look at the construction and the patination
0:06:47 > 0:06:51and you know this wasn't bought on the high street yesterday.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54The form's delicious. Feel the mass in that.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Oh, yes.- But label there...
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- Murano! - Venetian glass. Stylish thing.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03They're not easy to sell, lamps.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06It's one of those things, if you need a lamp, you've got a lamp
0:07:06 > 0:07:11and you really need to be tempted big time to want to buy another.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16- There's some weight on it. - Do you like?- It's all right, that. - Can you help at all on prices?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- The best price on that would be 25. - 25.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23It's not dear, but we're not talking about me taking it home.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26We're talking about an auction.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29It's going to be unpredictable, because lamps are.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33But it's a piece of Murano glass.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37If it came to the sale, I'd say it's worth 20 to 40 quid.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Yes? - So you're not a million miles off.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Go for 20?- Get a shave off it? - If he would.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Is there any chance... You're over at the box!
0:07:46 > 0:07:52- Any chance you could do 20? - I'm afraid not.- 22? - 25's the best I can do.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Always give the man the best price. - The best price!
0:07:55 > 0:08:01- You've heard how I feel about it. - I like it. It's got weight to it. - It's not a million miles off.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- Happy with that? - We like it, we'll have it. - You better say thanks to the man.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Thanks, sir.- Thanks, boss. Pleasure doing business.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09That was easy enough.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Easy enough indeed, Paul. Well done, team.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18The Blues, however, are browsing, not buying.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20That's a little Derby vase.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Mm. Have a look at it, then.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- There we are.- Thank you.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- It depends, really, if there's any damage to it.- It's quite nice.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- That's cute.- Is that old, or...? - Oh, yes.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Would that have had a top on it, Jeremy?
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Er, no. Because it's gilded at the top.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- I think you're looking at something that is early 19th century.- OK.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- It depends really on... - The condition.- Yes.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- The condition is good. - It looks fine.- The cobalt has run a bit at the bottom.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54But the handles are not damaged at all.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56It really depends on what it has to be.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- It's nice.- That is nice, yes.- OK.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- 30.- 30?- Best we can do.- 30?
0:09:02 > 0:09:08- That's smashing. We'll have that. - That's our first one bought, then. - Two more to go. Thank you.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Blue Derbyshire pottery for the Blue Team. How apt.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15The Reds, meanwhile, are looking to the future.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20- How much is this?- 20. - Don't let him buy that, Paul! - That one?- 20, as well.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- No!- Looks like that one's nailed! - I've been told!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I think Val may be getting her way today.
0:09:28 > 0:09:34Hang on. The Blues haven't moved. Something has caught Jeremy's eye.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39- That little brolly...- Yes? - Has it got a Stanhope in the handle?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- You've got to put it up to your eye. - Oh, wow.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Can you see?- That's fantastic. - Can you see?- You can.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Let's look. - You don't need your glasses.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Put it right up to your eye. - That's amazing!
0:09:51 > 0:09:54"A souvenir of Chester.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58"King Charles's Tower. Made in France."
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- What's it made of?- That one... - Is that ivory?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Has it got it on it?- It has.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- And also...- It opens up...
0:10:06 > 0:10:11- ..it's a needle case. - Oh! I'd like that myself!
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- And how much is that? - What has it got on it?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- It's 35.- 35. - I'll do that for 30, then.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I do like that. That's really nice.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- So, both for 60?- Both for 60. - I think that's reasonable.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- That's very reasonable. We'll take those.- Thank you.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Two!
0:10:29 > 0:10:34Two items on one stall at one of Europe's largest antique fairs?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Let's hope they're not missing out!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39All I need is my Spitfire.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Which I left at home this weekend!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Suits you, sir.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- Two objects in 20 minutes.- Yes. - That's good.- The sun's out. - Fantastic.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- The world is still our oyster. - Very good.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55Be careful. Those 40 minutes will fly by.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Trust the Red Team to look at red objects.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- It's a great colour. Didn't we say at the off, "If it grabs you..." - It's very quirky.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06What do you put in it, wine?
0:11:06 > 0:11:12- It's purely a novelty. Purely a piece of frivolity.- Oh, right.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- Price-wise, do you want to ask or not?- BOTH: Yes.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17What's your best price?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Bottom line, £35.- 35.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- You've given us a fair discount. - They'd fetch £100 years ago.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27You're dead right.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- Feel it...- 35?- It's got that "wow" factor, hasn't it?
0:11:31 > 0:11:37- It's wild all right! Who'd got out and buy that?- It's different. You couldn't go a little bit less?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- No.- If I stroked your dog?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41'Don't touch me!'
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Your choice.- I don't really like it.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Oh, dear. Disagreements again in the Red Team.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- BOTH: Shall we think about that one? - It's up to you.
0:11:50 > 0:11:56- Could we come back later? Is that all right?- If it's still here. - If it's still here, yes.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58If you come back in half an hour's time,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00with 15 minutes left and it's gone...
0:12:00 > 0:12:05- I'm in favour of you making a decision? Yea or nay?- Do you like it?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- 35.- I like it. It's different. - Go on.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Couple of quid for luck? - If you insist!
0:12:11 > 0:12:12That'll do it!
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Thank you very much.
0:12:17 > 0:12:23Are you sitting at home banging on about how much better you could do than the contestants?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Well, why don't you apply to come on the show? Log on to...
0:12:30 > 0:12:34..and have a go! You know you want to.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42That's probably by a Staffordshire firm
0:12:42 > 0:12:45called Samuel Alcock, who were known for this sort of ware.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- It'd be about 1825, 1830. - It's quite old, then.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- But it's £95.- Right.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- And it's also got a crack.- Ahh!
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Well spotted, Jeremy.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Keep your eyes peeled.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02That clock is ticking, folks.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03Indeed it is.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07We know what it does, don't we?
0:13:07 > 0:13:12That's to protect your lady's lovely complexion from the fierce heat of the fire.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- I really like it.- £100.
0:13:15 > 0:13:21It's no money for a nice William IV rosewood screen.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26- But will that...? - But how it's going to do at auction today, I don't know.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- That's a Japanese brocade Imari, it's called.- That's lovely.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35It's about 1900 in date.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- This is the legend of Kinko and the Carp.- Oh, yes!
0:13:39 > 0:13:41He's riding a giant carp.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- You're looking at maybe 30 or 40 pounds.- That sounds good.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Yes?- It's worth asking the price. - OK.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Could you tell me how much you'd like for that?
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- 110, Michael?- Ooh, no. - 110. It's the last price.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00- Right.- It's too much. - Too much for us. Thank you, anyway.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03The Blues sure don't want to splash the cash today.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06And the Reds...
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- This is nice! - SHE LAUGHS
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Don't even go there, Reds.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14There's only so many pipes you can have in a day.
0:14:14 > 0:14:20This is a Royal Artillery bugle. You've got here the flaming grenade.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Can you blow it? Let's have a laugh.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26HE PLAYS FANFARE Oh, he can, n'all!
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- You've done that before! - I've done it before.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32You could see by the way you blew it.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34That's very good. Nice sound to it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- It's got something written... - Are you bothered, Jeff?- I like that.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40You've got Foster & Co...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Is that a good name? - ..who presumably were the makers.
0:14:42 > 0:14:48- I think, what's interesting, are the regimental motifs.- Yes.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Yes. Somebody who collects this kind of thing.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- It's an unusual object.- Yes, it is.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- It depends what they want. If you're interested... - I think that's really nice.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- I'll pop and have a word with him and see what he says.- OK.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07- What do you think a good price would be?- Yes, what's a good price? - About 25 quid.- 25 quid.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10You'll have to do a bit of bartering, Jeff.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12And don't blow the budget, Jeff.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16The Reds, meanwhile, can't find anything even to haggle over.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Nothing grabs me today.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Mm. What price have you got, then, Jeff?
0:15:20 > 0:15:25- It's up for 75. The best he'll do is 60.- That's a shame. - What do you think?- It's not bad.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30I think it is on the edge. But it is quite quirky. We may...
0:15:30 > 0:15:35- We might just make it. - Get military people in, we might just make a little profit.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- I think we should go for that. We haven't spent a lot of money. - We haven't.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- So, yes, definitely. - It's a chance, but let's have a go.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Gives you more money, as well, Jeremy.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- I'll give it a blow for success. - Very good.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- NO NOISE COMES OUT - Hm. Not so good.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Let's hope the Blues' last item has more success at the auction.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Have we any plans, or do we keep following our nose?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Follow our nose and...
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- ..go in the general direction. - Just follow our nose and...- Yonder!
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- What's this, Paul? - It's interesting, isn't it?
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- It's 65 quid.- I think it's a bit too mental.- Is it?
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Come on, Red Team, time is running out.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24We need more of these bitsy stalls.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Bags of time.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30No, you haven't, Bill!
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Shall we go back that way? - OK, let's do it.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Maybe the Reds need sign posting to a bargain!
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- How much are they? - £100 for the back one and £300.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43- Oh, my goodness! - It's nice and clean.- Isn't it? Yes.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Long shot here, and I'm pushing it, is there a bargain price on that?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50This is me gambling, they're running out of time,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54and me thinking, "What might a punter take a stab at in an auction room?"
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- My best on that would be 35. - I love it.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- And someone else might, as well. - I like it.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- The petrolheads put them in the garage.- That's right.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- The blue and yellow one?- Yes.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I like that.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11French enamelled sign,
0:17:11 > 0:17:13automotive bulbs.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- They buy them like that?- They do. They buy them worse than that.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- It'll fetch a good price. - You decorate your garage.- Oh, right.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- I quite like that. How much does he want?- 35!
0:17:24 > 0:17:30- Shall we go for 30?- If you could, you're not going to do too badly.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- You're out of time. What have we, three minutes or something? - Oh, right.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39- I like it.- It's not my cup of tea, but...
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- I wouldn't buy it!- Me, either. It is a gamble, born of desperation.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Desperate times call for desperate measures.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Everything else you've bought was good to go, real merit.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53That... It's us playing the game, really.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Just feel the quality of that!
0:17:57 > 0:17:58I'll just have a word.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Go on, Bill, see what you can do.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06- He's a good bargainer.- Is there any chance we could do 30 on this?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- The very best is 32.- 32. - And you've got yourself a deal.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Go for it. We're out of time.- Paul?
0:18:11 > 0:18:15You know how I feel about it. You've got a minute to decide!
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- It's a deal.- Good man. Thank you.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22Congratulations, Red Team. Done in the nick of time.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25The hour's up and the shopping's over.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Let's find out how much the Red Team spent.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35£25 bought the Murano glass lamp base.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42They'll be really hoping to stick a profit in their pipe and smoke it.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47And £32 went on that French automotive sign.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Looks a bit tinny to me.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Rumour has it that you didn't spend much cash.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- We didn't, no, sorry. - Like, how little?- £90.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- You're going to give me £90? - No. Val's going to give you £210.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Good Lord! What's going on? What's the matter with you two?
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- He wouldn't let me spend any more. - Oh, yes?- He's used to it!
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- 210 smackers, please. - There you are.- Thank you.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15- Which is your favourite piece, Bill? - I like the quirky pipe.- The pipe.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- I think the Murano might.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- The Murano might.- Mm.- OK, fine.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- I don't know how to do this, Paul. There's an awful lot of cash there. - Indeed!
0:19:25 > 0:19:29£210. Are you going to blow the lot or...
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Crystal ball territory, that, Tim. I just don't know.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37I'll buy on quality and opportunity, not price.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41OK. Well, nothing's changed, then!
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- Good luck, folks!- Thank you.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45The Blue Team went for small items.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Firstly, the Derbyshire vase for £30.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Then they thought they could see money
0:19:54 > 0:19:57in the Stanhope needle case.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00And finally, they called in a profit charge with a bugle.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04They'll need some practice, though, before the auction.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09- Have you had a fantastic time? - Absolutely marvellous. - Really excellent time.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- Which is your favourite piece? - The bugle.- That's your favourite.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- Is that yours? - No, I like the little vase.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20That's nice. Small and dinky.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- A bit like your expert.- Yes!
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Buying the bugle, we've had a real blast, haven't we?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- We certainly have!- As long as you wipe the mouthpiece.- We did!
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- How much did you spend? - We spent £120.- Is that all?- Yes.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- Who's got the £180?- There you go. - Thank you, Jeffrey.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41There we go. That's a tidy sum for you, Jeremy.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Lovely.- One or two bags of sweets there.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46There's one or two things to look at.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Only about two million up and down these stalls!
0:20:49 > 0:20:54- It's going to be difficult, though. - There's a long way to go. But I'm sure I'll find somewhere.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58No better person to have a go. Well done, Jeremy. Good luck, team.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Meanwhile, we're heading off to Sulgrave Manor.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07Ever heard of it? Well, it's got a certain American connection.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- MUSIC: "The Star-Spangled Banner" - So, why is that?
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Well, here's a clue. Rather a large one at that.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Who's this? Well, it's George Washington,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22the first President of the United States.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Morning!
0:21:24 > 0:21:27And this is where his ancestors lived -
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Sulgrave Manor.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37George Washington's great-great- great-great-great grandfather,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Lawrence Washington,
0:21:39 > 0:21:44built this place between about 1540 and 1560,
0:21:44 > 0:21:49having done very well, as they say, in the wool trade.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56In 1914, it was decided to form a trust
0:21:56 > 0:21:59to buy the then-ruined manor,
0:21:59 > 0:22:03restore it and hold it for all time
0:22:03 > 0:22:06for the benefit of the British and American peoples.
0:22:06 > 0:22:12But what I'm interested in are some of the historic contents.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19One of the most significant objects in the collections at Sulgrave
0:22:19 > 0:22:21is this portrait.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24A portrait of George Washington
0:22:24 > 0:22:28painted by Peale in 1772.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31It shows him in his uniform
0:22:31 > 0:22:35as "Colonel Commanding the Colonial Virginian Troops".
0:22:35 > 0:22:40It's significant to Sulgrave because it was presented
0:22:40 > 0:22:46by the National Society of Colonial Dames of America
0:22:46 > 0:22:50and presented by them in 1915.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Who were these women?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Well, they are the direct descendants
0:22:55 > 0:22:59of the inhabitants of the 13 original states
0:22:59 > 0:23:02in the union of North America.
0:23:02 > 0:23:08And as people who are incredibly proud of that tradition and antecedent,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11it was appropriate that they should raise money
0:23:11 > 0:23:15to buy an object as significant as this
0:23:15 > 0:23:19to present to Sulgrave.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28But this is the portrait, the iconic image,
0:23:28 > 0:23:32that we always associate with George Washington.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35It was painted by Gilbert Stuart.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40And whilst Washington hated having his portrait painted,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42he nevertheless understood
0:23:42 > 0:23:47the importance of getting an iconic image out there
0:23:47 > 0:23:50around his people in America and, indeed, around the world.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53And hence, Gilbert Stuart, the artist,
0:23:53 > 0:23:58produced about 130 versions of this portrait,
0:23:58 > 0:24:02of which this is one of the originals.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07The image that we all know and associate with George Washington
0:24:07 > 0:24:09is, of course, this one,
0:24:09 > 0:24:15which is Gilbert Stuart's portrait, but translated via a print,
0:24:15 > 0:24:19therefore reversed, onto the dollar bill.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21The big question today is, though,
0:24:21 > 0:24:26is it going to be big bucks for our teams over at the auction?
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Well, we've come 20 minutes down the A1 to Grantham
0:24:41 > 0:24:45to be at Golding Young & Thomas Mawer's sale room.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50Now, that is quite a mouthful. What's going on, Colin?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53It is. The great news is, we've merged the two firms.
0:24:53 > 0:24:59The bad news is that both firms have got very long established names from the 19th century
0:24:59 > 0:25:01and we don't want to lose identities.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- So you welded them together. - Absolutely, we bolted it together.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09We'll look forward to a successful outcome as a result of your bolting!
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Anyway, for our teams today, first up in this wacky mixture
0:25:13 > 0:25:16is the Murano glass lamp.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20It says Murano on the label, which I think is reassuring.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23That's excellent news when you come to catalogue something!
0:25:23 > 0:25:27The fact that it tells you what it is helps you along!
0:25:27 > 0:25:32- So, what do you think it's worth? - We've got an estimate at £25 to £40.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36I think it won't race beyond the top end, but should land within those margins.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Very good, because they paid £25, which is promising.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45Next, another piece of glass, but something very traditional,
0:25:45 > 0:25:47these novelty cranberry pipes.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- How do you rate that? - We've put a lowly 40 to 60.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56They do not make the money that they used to, so that's where I've pitched it.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- That's quite a plain example, isn't it?- It is a Plain Jane.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02You need a bit of Vaseline on it,
0:26:02 > 0:26:07or some other colour integration, just to make it a bit more exciting.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- But it is what it is. - It is what it is. And quite fun.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Anyway, they only paid £33, so that's quite promising.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16And then, lastly,
0:26:16 > 0:26:20this not particularly attractive enamel...
0:26:20 > 0:26:23It isn't enamel, it's a sort of painted tin sign.
0:26:23 > 0:26:29Yes. Going to be masses of them out there in France.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Which is good news, because we don't see many over here.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38There's a good chance some of the automotive and automobilia collectors may fancy this,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41because it's probably not in their collection.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Maybe not. But to me, it looks as if it's been fired at by an air rifle.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Erm, it's rusty, it's dented,
0:26:48 > 0:26:51it's losing its colour scheme, and I don't understand it.
0:26:51 > 0:26:57- It may've dodged all the bullets. Let's hope it doesn't dodge all the bids!- Well said!
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- So, what is your estimate? - 25 to 40.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01£32 paid.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Anyway, depending on the fate of the sign,
0:27:05 > 0:27:07they may or may not need their bonus buy,
0:27:07 > 0:27:10but let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Guys, you gave Paul Laidlaw £210 of leftover lolly.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17A phenomenal sum!
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Too right!- Right!
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- What did you buy, Paul?- I bought...
0:27:23 > 0:27:24- ..that.- Oh, wow.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27A rare beast. What's your first impression?
0:27:27 > 0:27:32- Don't say, "Muddy brown, horrid vase." - No, I quite like it. Is it a name?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Look at the name.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Doulton. Lambeth stoneware. - Oh, Royal Doulton.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42These are actual specimens that are impressed into the mould,
0:27:42 > 0:27:45so the impression that you get in the formed piece
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- is of a twig, a leaf.- Oh, right!
0:27:49 > 0:27:54That's not the hand and the eye of the artist,
0:27:54 > 0:27:58only in the selection and the placing.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- I adore that. I think that strikes a chord...- How old?
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- 110 year old.- 110?- 120 perhaps.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07I think that strikes a chord with the market.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09How much do you think this will fetch?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12I think it will make £40 to £80.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16I paid £40. I think it's a banker.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21I've only seen a handful in a decade. You don't trip over these.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23I adore it.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26I like it. I would have that.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28- Good.- It's very nice.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32There we go. I think you sold it pretty well!
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Unfortunately, our teams are not the buyers.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Your moment to select will be after the sale of your first three items.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41But for the audience at home,
0:28:41 > 0:28:45let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Paul's pot.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48It's a pretty standard item, isn't it?
0:28:48 > 0:28:52I've seen one or two of these over the years.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- Is it going to be Doulton, by any chance?- Well, yes!
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Lo and behold, it is. Fairly standard piece of stoneware.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02A lot come through the sale rooms,
0:29:02 > 0:29:07they never really set collectors alight, but plenty people still bid for them.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11It's a bonus buy. There's potentially quite a lot riding on this.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15- What's your estimate? - I would estimate that at 40 to 60.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18I think it'll be within those sort of margins.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22£40 paid by that cunning monkey Paul Laidlaw. Let's hope he's right.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30And what a mixture again. First up is the Imari pot.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- Too small for ashes and too big for perfume, I think.- Yes.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39It's a bit of an odd size, isn't it? Hardly a statement piece for your mantelpiece.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43But having said that, good factory, nice design and in good order.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- How much?- 25 to 40.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49£30 paid. So that's OK. That's right in the middle.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53What about the Stanhope needle case?
0:29:53 > 0:29:57Those sort of things do have quite a collector's market.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01But what I have found is, we get a lot of interest in them,
0:30:01 > 0:30:04but never any serious money being paid.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06I think it's one of those collectables
0:30:06 > 0:30:09people really went for in the '60s and '70s,
0:30:09 > 0:30:11at the beginning of that Victoriana boom.
0:30:11 > 0:30:18It is. That was the sort of thing that when the people collecting dolls and high Victoriana,
0:30:18 > 0:30:23these were lovely accessory pieces they were quite happy to spend a fair amount of money on.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26So, how much do you think today?
0:30:26 > 0:30:31- Er, well, 25 to 40, yet again. - £30 paid.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- This is getting a bit repetitive, isn't it?- It is!
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- What about the bugle?- Ah, the bugle! The good news here is,
0:30:37 > 0:30:41we got an enormous amount of arms and militaria in the sale.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45So if it's going to do well in any sale, this is going to be the one.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Good. Is there anything special about it?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51It's a fairly standard model. Fully stamped up.
0:30:51 > 0:30:57And common, or garden values on these are £40 to £60.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02Well, we paid twice what we paid for the previous two items, ie, £60.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- Pushed the boat out, then. - Pushed the boat out.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09But it's at the very top of your estimate, which makes me nervous.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13They'll need their bonus buy. Let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Jeff and Sandra, this is your moment to discover
0:31:16 > 0:31:19what Jeremy spent your £180 on.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22If I give that a yank, that might help you.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24BOTH: Ooh, a microscope.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28I was looking round and I thought, "What do I need to help me look for something good?"
0:31:28 > 0:31:32And here it is. It's a microscope
0:31:32 > 0:31:35made by a very famous firm called Beck.
0:31:35 > 0:31:40Now, the microscope is not an uncommon Beck model,
0:31:40 > 0:31:42it's almost a student microscope,
0:31:42 > 0:31:44but it's quite an early 20th century one.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Although it's different to the one on the lid,
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- what I think collectors will enjoy is...- The box itself.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55You very rarely see a box for these things.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- Right, OK. - How much did you pay for it?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59What do you think?
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- £200? £300?- £58?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03- 50, 60 pounds?- More than that.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- £70.- 70?- Not much more.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08And how much do you think it'll go for?
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Probably a little bit more than that.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- Yes?- If people see this box and like it...
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Will it magnify the profit? - I hope it will!
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Boom, boom!
0:32:19 > 0:32:21OK, hang on to those thoughts.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Meanwhile, let's find out
0:32:23 > 0:32:26what the auctioneer thinks about Jeremy's microscope box.
0:32:27 > 0:32:32This looks a bit, er, plain and ordinary to me.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36It does. Let's hope it's a little bit more exciting inside.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- Oh, dear.- Not really, is it?- No.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47I was hoping for something a little bit more exciting - nice high-sheen brass,
0:32:47 > 0:32:50nice combination of good casting on there.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Fairly standard model.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54That box looks to me
0:32:54 > 0:32:57as if it's made out of orange wood, doesn't it?
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- It does.- Just knocked together, which is not a good sign.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04No. Fairly low-grade in terms of boxing.
0:33:04 > 0:33:10- Fairly standard...- Look at that interior! It's a bit of old rag glued to the side.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13We've got to put a positive note on this now.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15I think that'll do £40 to £60.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18You're a marvellous man, Colin!
0:33:18 > 0:33:23£70 was paid by Jeremy for that. He reckons it's going to make a profit.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- Hm...- You never know. Maybe the team won't go with it.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28- Let's hope not!- Let's hope not.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- You're taking our sale today. - Indeed.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32We're in safe hands!
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- Val, Bill, how are you feeling? - Excited!
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- Are you?- Nervous, but excited. - What have you got to be nervous about?- I don't know!
0:33:48 > 0:33:52- You've gone very quiet!- I know!
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- You're not nervy, are you, Bill? - No.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- Confident?- Very confident. - That's what I like to hear.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04- You're not standing next to THE Paul Laidlaw for nothing. - He's the man.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08First lot up is the Murano glass lamp base. Here it comes.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13The Murano green glass lamp. Who's going to start me at £50?
0:34:13 > 0:34:17- 30 to go, then, surely? £30? Take £20 if we have to.- Oh, no!
0:34:17 > 0:34:20£20 bid. Two anywhere else now?
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Come on, come on, come on.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Two on the net. 22 bid. Five anywhere else now?
0:34:26 > 0:34:2922. Five. Now five.
0:34:29 > 0:34:3328 now. 28 bid.
0:34:33 > 0:34:3525 is what you paid.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37I don't believe this...
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Going at £25.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43£25. It's just made its low estimate.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- That's good.- Lot number 51
0:34:45 > 0:34:48is a Victorian cranberry glass novelty pipe.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52Who's going to start me at £40? 30 to go, then. £30?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- £20?- Come on.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- Start me at 10.- Oh, dear.- £10 bid.
0:34:57 > 0:34:5812 anywhere else?
0:34:58 > 0:35:0212 now? Look at what we're selling, it's that big!
0:35:02 > 0:35:0510 bid. 12 bid. 15 bid. 18 bid. 20. 22.
0:35:05 > 0:35:0925. 28. No, 25 bid. 28 anywhere else?
0:35:09 > 0:35:11I don't like the look of this.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14..coming in on the net? No, just hovering. 25.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Eight anywhere else? 25.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21Front row has it. It's going to sell, make no mistake, at £25.
0:35:21 > 0:35:27- Minus £8. Nothing like the 40 to 60 estimate.- No.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31Lot number 52, a French enamel Norma automotive lamp.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36Good-looking automotive lamp there. Who's going to start me at £50?
0:35:36 > 0:35:3830 to go, then?
0:35:38 > 0:35:42- Come on.- 20? 10?
0:35:42 > 0:35:4410. 12 now. 12 bid.
0:35:44 > 0:35:4815 bid. 18 bid. 18 bid. 20 now. 22 bid.
0:35:48 > 0:35:5125. 28. 28. 30.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53£30 bid, surely? 30. 30 bid.
0:35:53 > 0:35:5632 again now? At 30 and two?
0:35:56 > 0:35:58- I don't believe it.- £30 bid.
0:35:58 > 0:36:04Two as a last call? No? We sell this at £30.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06That's brilliant. I thought it'd make less than that.
0:36:06 > 0:36:11That's minus £2. Overall, you are minus £10.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15- Which is nothing.- Nothing at all. - Absolutely nothing.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- What are you going to do about the leaf bowl?- We're going for it. - Definitely?- Yes.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23It could be a winning score, minus ten. It could be.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27- We're going to make a profit on this.- Got to trust Paul.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30- The decision's made, yes?- Yes. - You're going with the bonus buy.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34I can now reveal that the auctioneer's estimate was 40 to 60.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Paul paid 40, so the auctioneer thinks it should make a profit.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41Lot 56, Royal Doulton pottery spherical vase.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42Nice naturalistic piece.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Will it £100 of anybody's money? 100?
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Half it, then. 50?
0:36:47 > 0:36:52- Come on.- You weren't listening, obviously. £50, anybody?
0:36:52 > 0:36:55OK, 40. Put me straight at £40 for it.
0:36:55 > 0:36:5830 I've got. 32 now? Do I see it?
0:36:58 > 0:37:03£30 bid. 32 anywhere else now? 35. 35. 38.
0:37:03 > 0:37:0738 on the net. 40. Back in the room now. No? At 38.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Net buyers have it. All the Doulton collectors queued up on the net.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12But they've all stopped.
0:37:12 > 0:37:1438 bid. Any more now?
0:37:14 > 0:37:17All done and finished. Net buyer has it at 38.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22It's a miserable price. All done and finished at £38.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Bad luck, Paul. Minus £2 on that.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- Which means, overall, you are minus £12. Which is disappointing.- It is.
0:37:29 > 0:37:35Look at him itching with the injustice of it only making £38.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40But that is the name of the game. You can't foretell what these things are going to do.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44Like I say, minus £12 could be a winning score.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- Don't say a word to the Blues. - We won't.- Well done, team.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03Are you nervous at all, Sandra, about anything in particular?
0:38:03 > 0:38:07I think the bugle, I'm a little bit worried about. But you never know.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12- Are you perfectly happy, Jeff? - I'm thrilled. I think the bugle could do well.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17First up is going to be the Imari palette wee pot. Here it comes.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21Lot number 71 is an early 19th century Derby two-handled vase.
0:38:21 > 0:38:2330 to go. 30 bid?
0:38:23 > 0:38:28£30 bid in the back row. 32 now, do I see? 32. 32. 35.
0:38:28 > 0:38:3135. 35. 38. Do I see 40?
0:38:31 > 0:38:3340 bid. 42 now.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36And five. 45 bid. 48 bid. 50.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40£50 bid, do I see now? And five. 55. 60 now? 60?
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- 60 now, surely?- 60. - 55 now. Back in the room.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49I'll take eight as a last call. Back row has it at 55. All done at £55.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54- £25!- Fantastic!- £25.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58- You must be over the moon. - Thrilled to bits. That's brilliant.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Lot number 72 is a Victorian bone Stanhope.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04It's in the form of a carved parasol.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Who's going to start me at £50?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- SANDRA: Come on, ladies. - £50 for the Stanhope?
0:39:09 > 0:39:10£30, anyone?
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- Uh-oh.- Start me at ten. We'll call it No Hope.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17£10? Straight in. 10. 12 on the net.
0:39:17 > 0:39:2015 bid. 18 bid. 20, surely?
0:39:20 > 0:39:24- No bids in the room? 20 bid. 22 bid. - That's no money, is it?
0:39:24 > 0:39:2625 bid. 28 bid. Go on, have another one.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Go on, have another one.
0:39:28 > 0:39:3328 bid. 30 anywhere else? Lady's bid, second row, has it.
0:39:33 > 0:39:3728. You're out, on the net. We're selling in the second row at £28.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40- £28. That's minus £2. - That's not too bad.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44It should've done better. Anyway, here comes the bugle.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46..next up is the Royal Artillery...
0:39:46 > 0:39:48This is where we lose the lot.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52Who's going to start me at £50 for it? £40, anybody?
0:39:52 > 0:39:56- 30? 20 to go. - He's going the wrong way, Tim.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59£10? 10 with you, madam, your bid.
0:39:59 > 0:40:0112 now, do I see? £10 bid.
0:40:01 > 0:40:0412 bid. 15 bid. 18 bid.
0:40:04 > 0:40:0718 on the net now. 18 bid. £20 a bid, surely?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- Do I see 20? Two now. Two bid. - Come on.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Lady's bid at 22. 25 now, surely?
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- All the net buyers have gone away. Last call, then.- Come on!
0:40:16 > 0:40:21It's more like the last post. 25. Fresh bidder. 25. 28 now.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Has that come as a blow, madam?!
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Make it six. Go on!
0:40:27 > 0:40:29- Come on.- 26 now, do I see?
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- I'm desperate. Actually, I'm not. Somebody else is.- You bet they are!
0:40:33 > 0:40:3725 bid. Selling all done at £25.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41- 25...- He worked it, didn't he? - He really worked for that.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44That is minus £35. That is bad luck. You were plus 23.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Which means, overall, you're now minus 12.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52What are you going to do about the microscope? Minus 12 could be a winning score.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56- It could be. What are you going to do?- We're going to go with it.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- We're going to go with the bargain buy.- You're definitely going to?
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- Yes.- Full confidence in Jeremy. - Here it comes.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Lot number 77
0:41:04 > 0:41:08is the Beck student monocular microscope in a fitted case.
0:41:08 > 0:41:14What shall we say for this one? Who's going to start me at £50?
0:41:14 > 0:41:15£40.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19- £30 to go, then? £30 bid.- Ooh, ooh!
0:41:19 > 0:41:2332, do I see? Cracking lot, this. 32 now? Have a close look at it.
0:41:23 > 0:41:2732 on the internet. 35? 38 now? 38 bid.
0:41:27 > 0:41:3138 bid. 40. 40 bid. 42 now, do I see?

0:41:44 > 0:41:49- 55 now. No? £50. We're back in the room.- Come on.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Going at 50. All done. Sold at £50.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- Bad luck, team. That is minus 20. - Never mind.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Which means, overall, you're minus £32.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02- The big thing here is, don't talk to the Reds.- We shan't.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Well, teams, happy, are we? You're looking very smiley!
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- I take it you've not been chatting? - ALL: No.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Not about the scores, anyway.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24Well, it's no secret to the audience that today is a tale of losses all round,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27it's just the scale of the losses.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30The team with the largest losses today...are the Blues.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32- No way!- Aww!
0:42:32 > 0:42:35I'm sorry about that!
0:42:35 > 0:42:38- Bad luck. Have you enjoyed yourself? - Very much so.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Sorry it's turned out with this result.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44The victors today, who win by only losing £12,
0:42:44 > 0:42:48are the Reds! Which is rather brilliant, isn't it?
0:42:48 > 0:42:52- All minus scores, but tiny minus scores through it all.- Yes.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54So you managed to minimalise your losses.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Happy days. Happy teams.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Join us soon for some bargain hunting, yes?
0:42:59 > 0:43:01ALL: Yes!
