0:00:10 > 0:00:13Ah! It's that time of the day again, viewers.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Are you ready for another dose of antiques action?
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Then let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:41 > 0:00:47'Our venue for today's one-hour shopathon is Hungerford in Berkshire
0:00:47 > 0:00:50'and what a place to hunt for bargains!'
0:00:54 > 0:00:57This looks pretty innocent, doesn't it?
0:00:57 > 0:01:04But this £300 can cause our teams an enormous amount of trouble
0:01:04 > 0:01:07deciding which three items to buy.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Let's have a look at what's coming up.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17'We've got two couples scouring the antiques centres for their prize buys.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22'Over at the auction, Christopher Ironmonger in racing through the sales.
0:01:23 > 0:01:29'All this and I get to visit Snowshill Manor in the stunning Gloucestershire countryside.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34'So, let's get to know the teams a little better.'
0:01:34 > 0:01:40- For the Red Team we have partners Karen and Mike. Morning. - Good morning.- Very nice to see you.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42How did you two meet, Mike?
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- We were at school together.- Really? - We were. We met at school.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51- Did you meet behind the bicycle sheds?- Only after youth club. - THEY LAUGH
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Early love. How lovely. What sort of hobbies do you have?
0:01:54 > 0:01:59I used to be a footballer. I used to love football.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I like, now, going into the country, walking.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07- You go to auctions quite a lot? - Oh, yes. There's an auction in our village once a month.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- And have you ever found anything any good? - There was one day we went there
0:02:10 > 0:02:15and they had this lovely dining table, six chairs, two carvers,
0:02:15 > 0:02:19inlay, everything, and it was the last thing of the day
0:02:19 > 0:02:21and it went for £25 and I sold it for £300.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Did you? Is that what you're going to do on Bargain Hunt today? - Hopefully.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- We'll try. - That'd be lovely, wouldn't it?
0:02:28 > 0:02:34- Karen, how did you become interested in antiques? - I used to work for a removal company
0:02:34 > 0:02:38and we were sent in, the women,
0:02:38 > 0:02:43to pack priceless antiques and so forth.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46And, basically, it started from there.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49What sort of antique floats your boat?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Well, Clarice Cliff.- Oh, right. - I love Clarice Cliff.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55But some pieces are very expensive.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01So your old man's going to be going for dining suites for £25 to turn into £300
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- and you're going to go for Clarice Cliff today?- If I can find some.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09We hear this brave talk quite often on Bargain Hunt at the beginning of the show. Very good luck.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13And for the Blues, we've got married couple Carol and Brian. Welcome.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Very nice to see you. Brian, you've been married for 50-odd years?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- 40 years. 44 years. - 40 years, 44 years.- 44.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Let's get it right.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- And still counting. - And still happily enjoying it.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32That's lovely. What's the recipe, do you think, for your long and happy and successful marriage?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Have a good fight every now and then. Clear the air.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Is that it? Lance the boil. - That's it.
0:03:38 > 0:03:44- Brian, you've been in Britain for a long time, but you're not originally from here.- I'm from South Africa.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- What dragged you over? - Well, all sorts of things.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50One of the things was the apartheid system, which I hated.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54One of the things was I needed to get a degree and my maths was lousy
0:03:54 > 0:03:59- and in South Africa, you had to have maths to get into a university. - Right.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02So I came here and went to Kings, studied theology.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Carol, this is a multilingual team that we've got today
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- cos you speak umpteen languages, don't you?- Well, ish.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13What do you mean ish? How many languages do you speak and which ones?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- I was brought up bilingually, Welsh and English.- And what else?
0:04:16 > 0:04:21Well, I went to school and learned French and it seemed quite easy.
0:04:21 > 0:04:28I went to university to do French, but I took up Spanish and so I've been teaching French and Spanish.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- And you went on and you have taught throughout your career?- Yes.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35That's all I've done, really, teaching.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37And now I teach little bits, a bit of coaching,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40a bit for people who want to learn languages.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Even friends, a glass of wine, a bit of Spanish.- Yes. Give them a leg up.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Yes.- Before they head off to Andalucia.- Exactly.- Brilliant.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51OK, now the money moment. £300 apiece. Here we go, £300.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55There's your £300. £300. You know the rules. Your experts await.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58And off you go! And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Gosh! We're going to have fun today!
0:05:03 > 0:05:08'Leading the teams we have two experienced experts.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11'For the Reds, Colin Young imparts his words of wisdom.'
0:05:11 > 0:05:16I think you don't need to look so serious. It's not that painful.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20'Whilst James Lewis hands out advice to the Blues.'
0:05:20 > 0:05:22That is actually not as old as it looks.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33'Time is money, teams, and the clock is running.'
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- See what they've got for us. - This one?- Too modern.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Not what you like, what's going to make you a profit.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Is this something that either of you like? - I don't like it.- Old fashioned.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56It's good workmanship. I'm not sure if I like it that much, James.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01- I don't like it.- You don't like it? - No. Do you?- No, I don't. - Don't like it at all.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04'They certainly know what they don't like!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07'And James isn't keen on some of the prices, either.'
0:06:07 > 0:06:11How much? £235? That's insane!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- See what Karen thinks to that. - HE LAUGHS
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- How you doing? - I found something, I think.- Ah!
0:06:20 > 0:06:23'Value for money is proving hard to find.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25'But has Mike taken it too far?'
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Yeah. I mean, really, it's sort of brand new.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32You're just not going to get any money out of those at all.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35'Best to avoid modern tat, then.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42'Are the Blues having better luck?'
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Everything there is about £1,000 more than our entire budget.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I reckon we're out of our depth here.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52'That would be a no, then.'
0:06:52 > 0:06:55It's comedy, this is. Common.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00'The Reds are first to find something worth writing home about.'
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- There's something on there. Ask Colin what he thinks.- Yeah.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05One there which we liked.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10- Right.- Paper knife there. - So, hallmarked. Birmingham assay.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Looks absolutely fine. - Like the price.
0:07:13 > 0:07:19- Ah, what have they got on it? - 33.- £33. Seems all right.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22For that sort of money, there's a chance you can make profit.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29What do you think of that, James?
0:07:29 > 0:07:34- That silver cigarette case? - Well, it's slightly worn. And it's 65 and it's worth 20.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- Good day, sir. How you doing? We noticed this in one of your cabinets.- Yep.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45You've got 33 as the price.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- I noticed it's got a little bit of damage on it.- Yeah.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Would you come down a bit?
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- 25? - Ooh! No, I don't think I can do 25.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58I could probably squeeze 28 for you.
0:07:58 > 0:08:0027?
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Go on. - It would make a nice, sort of...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09..reasonable discount at 27. 27.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14- Deal.- That would be the... - Shake hands.- OK?- Done. - All right.- Thank you.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18'Nice persuasion tactics, Mike. But not everyone's happy.'
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- You didn't look impressed by that purchase.- No.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26- Don't worry, two more to go. - That's right.- We'll find something good.- 20 quid would've been better.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- I tried.- You did try, did you? - I said 25.- You're slipping.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34'Ah, well, at least you've got one item in the bag.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38'Pressure's on, Blues. You're lagging behind.'
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Let's start up here. Gives us a bit of space.- Yeah.- OK.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- This is 28 quid. It's quite cheap. - It is, but it's not very old.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- It's not very old. - Yep. It's useful if you've got a Chinese takeaway.- Yes.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- OK, how about that? - Have you found something?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Oh, that's lovely. - Do you like it?- Yes, I do.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Ohh.- It's missed its well. - It hasn't got a well in it.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- But...- What is it made of? - Pewter, isn't it? - Pewter, yeah.- Pewter's good.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- How much would you think that would be?- 20, 25. What are they asking?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- 14.50.- Oh!- Oh, yes.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- 14.50 is not huge, is it?- No.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- A tenner. We could offer a tenner. - Somebody might be attracted to it. - We can ask.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24'Ask and ye may receive.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28'Let's hope the stallholder can do them a deal.'
0:09:32 > 0:09:34A flapper-type dress.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- See what Karen thinks to that. - HE LAUGHS
0:09:37 > 0:09:42'The Blues need a buy and James has found something unusual.'
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Bit of a novelty item. - What does he do?
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- Open the lid.- It's Black Forest.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- It's Black Forest?- Yeah, made in the sort of Austrian, German...
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- A lot of these were brought back by tourists in the 1920s.- Mm.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03- I guess he's getting on for 100 years old, so he's got a fair bit of age to him.- Oh, I like that.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07But I'd like it better if it was 15 quid off.
0:10:07 > 0:10:1015 quid off? That would make it 23.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- It's not hugely expensive, but it's a novelty, so...- It's a novelty.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- Now, the other thing I spotted earlier is that.- Mm.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Which is... This is known as a dump.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25It's made in Stourbridge, 1850, 1870.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Often you get a spray of flowers
0:10:27 > 0:10:32and the floral ones are always much better than the ones with just the bubbles, like this.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- It's got a bit of age to it.- It's also got a bit of a price to it.
0:10:35 > 0:10:3968, yeah. Should come down, though. That's another potential.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43'Two more maybes. They're not exactly throwing caution to the wind.'
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- This is what I was looking at. - Not that old.- OK.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55It's more likely to decorate a Chinese restaurant than it is to set alight the Chinese market.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I knew he'd spot that.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07£68, travel clock. It's not over the top, is it?
0:11:07 > 0:11:12What's it going to make at auction? Is it going to make 20 or 30? Yes, every day of the week.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17Will it make 120? Probably not. Safety again. It's whether you want to go with safety
0:11:17 > 0:11:20or carry on shopping and try and find something a bit more exotic.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Yeah. Carry on? - Let's go for the money.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27'Careful, guys. Safety first might mean you finish second.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29'So what was the verdict on the inkwell?'
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Hi.- I've spoken to the dealer.- Yep.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- And she can do that for £12. - Oh.- £12, OK.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- We looked at other things. Would she do a deal on more than one? - Definitely.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- If we got that as well?- Yes.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- That and the well.- Right. How much would you want to pay?
0:11:47 > 0:11:5030 the two. See if we can do that. 30 the two and we'll go for it.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- I'll go and phone her now. - Brilliant.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56'That's more than £20 off the ticket prices. Crikey.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58'But will the dealer go for it?'
0:12:00 > 0:12:04This is nice and comfy, isn't it? Nice armchair. Side table.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I feel a gin and tonic coming on.
0:12:06 > 0:12:12Were you to put anything substantial on this table, though, you'd find it's a bit wobbly.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Why's that? Because this thing didn't start off life as a table at all.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22This thing started off life as a pole screen.
0:12:22 > 0:12:29That heavy triangular base did sit on the ground when this was made in 1810 or 1820.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33It then had a great thin shaft sticking up like this
0:12:33 > 0:12:38and hanging on that shaft was this thing, but vertically.
0:12:38 > 0:12:45The idea was, you'd put this gadget between you, if you were a woman with a pleasant complexion,
0:12:45 > 0:12:52and the fire, because the radiant heat from the fire might make your cheeks go pink
0:12:52 > 0:12:55and that would not do if you were an aristocrat,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58cos they liked to be absolutely pale white.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03So, what's happened here is that the shaft and fittings have all broken,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07they've cut that down, they've taken off this screen,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09they've turned up a new plug, like that,
0:13:09 > 0:13:14and they've shoved it into that rough old hole to make it into a table.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17What I would do is to take this top part,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20which is, I think, very pretty.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24I'd remove the needlework picture, I'd insert a bit of mirror instead
0:13:24 > 0:13:30and make myself a perfectly pleasant and usable period-looking mirror.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Easy. This bottom part,
0:13:33 > 0:13:38if you look very carefully, you'll spy that this thing
0:13:38 > 0:13:42has got absolutely spectacular feet.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46They're Regency. They date from 1810 to 1820
0:13:46 > 0:13:52and they're mounted on these blocks that would easily unscrew from underneath.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Each is worth between £80 and £120,
0:13:54 > 0:13:59so you've got more or less £300 worth before you count anything else.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02What are they asking here in the antiques centre
0:14:02 > 0:14:06for the whole thing as a wrong piece of furniture?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Well, it could be yours for £55.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Now that's what you do if you want to make money.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16'Well, making money is the name of the game,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19'but it only works if you spend some, James.'
0:14:19 > 0:14:26- That's crazy, really. - James, the dealer will happily do this one for £25.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31But, unfortunately, her best one on the inkwell would be £8 because she paid a lot of money for it.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Hm.- £8?
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- Hang on a second, I've just noticed something.- What?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Look. - Yes. There's a bit missing there.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- It's had a chunk out of the side, as well.- Yeah. We can't pay £8.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- That makes the decision easy, doesn't it?- Yes. - What do you think to him?- Yep.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- He's fun. He's all right. - Do you want to go for him?- Yeah.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Yes?- Yes.- Deal done. £25. Thank you.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56And no for that one. Thanks very much.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58'Deal done indeed, and well done, Blues.'
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- What do you think of these?- Ah.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Brooches. Not a great deal of age to them, unfortunately.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13That's the problem. They've certainly got the look.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Once you've got these photographed and illustrated on the internet,
0:15:16 > 0:15:20on a big screen in the saleroom, these are going to look really good
0:15:20 > 0:15:23and I'm sure people will spend a little bit of money on them.
0:15:23 > 0:15:29They're either going to make £10 or they're going to make £35. You just do not know.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- Why don't we just say £15? - Go on, then.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- Grab a bargain?- Yeah.- Yeah? - 'Worth a try.'
0:15:36 > 0:15:39We think they're 70s.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Realistically, we'd be doing ten percent
0:15:42 > 0:15:46so that'd bring it down to 26.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- And you're not liking that, are you? - No. Not at all.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- What are you liking? - I was looking at £15 for the two.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- 'Pushing hard.'- No.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- I couldn't... No, I definitely couldn't do that.- No?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03I could say £23.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Shall we say 20? Go on.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Hm.- Go on, £10 each.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- £10 each.- Make my day. - I'll tell you what...
0:16:13 > 0:16:18- Please? - Give me a little bit of chance to escape with my life and make it £21.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- Go on, then, 21, you've got a deal. - If you're happy at 21...
0:16:23 > 0:16:26'He didn't stand a chance. Nice work, Karen.'
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- It's Arts and Crafts, which you love.- Yes.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35It's also this Japanese influence,
0:16:35 > 0:16:40flowering lilies, dragonflies. We had this chap called Commodore Perry, who was an American admiral
0:16:40 > 0:16:45who came over and signed the Treaty of Edo in 1858
0:16:45 > 0:16:48and that basically opened the doors to the West
0:16:48 > 0:16:52and free trade between Japan and the Western world started again.
0:16:52 > 0:16:58And it caused the aesthetic movement to start in the UK, which was totally influenced to Japanese art.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- So that's what we're looking at. - It's lovely.- What would you pay?
0:17:03 > 0:17:08- I suppose I'll go for £100.- As an ornament, you'd have to have it.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- 75?- So would you pay 70 for it?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Yes.- I would.- Good.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- £70 it is.- Ooh.- Do you want it?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- Yes.- Yep.- I think it's worth going for.- Can we get it for 70?- Yeah.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Good. I'm grandfather was born in 1870, as well.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28And I live at number seven and every house I've ever lived at is number seven.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Isn't that odd?- We've got to have it, then.- Let's go for it.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- And I'm 73.- Lead the way.
0:17:34 > 0:17:40'Lucky number seven, eh? Let's hope it doesn't leave them at sixes and sevens in the auction.'
0:17:41 > 0:17:46I must admit, I'm getting quite concerned now that we've bought a couple of low-value items
0:17:46 > 0:17:49and safety really isn't in the spirit of the game.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53I think we need to find something, bigger money, bigger gamble
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- and really go for it. What do you reckon?- Yeah, I do, too.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Let's go for a gamble lot, then. - Let's go.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03'Whilst the Reds are talking tactics, the Blues are getting on with their shopping.'
0:18:03 > 0:18:06When we were looking at the Stourbridge glass dump,
0:18:06 > 0:18:10I mentioned how occasionally you find sulphur inclusions
0:18:10 > 0:18:13and they made flowers and busts of important politicians of the day.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17And there you see a really good example of one.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Again, the same sort of period, 1870, 1880.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24This time, though, with one, two, three, four, five big flowers.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26And it's got a friend.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29This is a really poor example in comparison.
0:18:29 > 0:18:36But I think that these are going to be far more popular and easy to sell than the other.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41- I think so.- So if we can get this for anything like the price of the single one, it's worth a bash.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- I think so. That's much more beautiful.- I think so. And I think it appeals, doesn't it?- Mm.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- So I'll go and have a word and see what I can get them for. - Great.- Well done, James.
0:18:52 > 0:18:58- You two aren't jumping out with loads of ideas.- No. Sorry. - I can't find anything.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- OK.- James, what?- Right, guys.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06- The two for £65. - Oh, that's excellent. That's much better than we hoped.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11- I think they're worth that. - I do.- If they don't make a profit at auction, there's something wrong.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14'Down in the dumps? I don't think so!
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- 'That's the Blues finished.' - Brilliant.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I didn't know they were behind us.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24- 'But there's only five minutes left on the clock, Reds.'- We're across.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29I've got this wonderful plan. What we're going to do is try and salvage the situation.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33The shop up the road has a lot of architectural salvage. See if that gets us out of trouble.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37'I see what you did there, Colin.'
0:19:37 > 0:19:40What about a garden bench? Spring's on the way.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- I don't like that price, though. - 485.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- That.- That looks all right. - Yes.- Nice bit of retro.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Yeah. - And I've had these make anything...
0:19:51 > 0:19:56Well, we'll keep quiet, but I've had them make well over £100 before.
0:19:56 > 0:20:02So there is a chance that, if it can be bought at good money,
0:20:02 > 0:20:07it could stand a bit of a profit. I suppose there's no harm having a gamble, offering them 75.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10If you can get it for 75, I think it's worth doing.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14'Quickly, Mike. Only three minutes to go.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20'No such panic for the Blues, though. They're just browsing for fun now.'
0:20:20 > 0:20:26The thing is, spring time is the perfect time to buy garden stuff
0:20:26 > 0:20:28and it does well at the auctions.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- 'And with seconds left...' - I have a deal.- Yeah?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Cash, shook hands, £60.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- £60?- £60.- What a star, man!
0:20:38 > 0:20:40'Phew! Just made it. That was a close one.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44'Time's up. Let's remind ourselves what the teams bought.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50'Mike and Karen ummed and ahhed
0:20:50 > 0:20:55'before settling on the silver-handled letter knife at £27.
0:20:55 > 0:21:01'Karen haggled like a pro to get the two Art Deco brooches for £21.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04'And in a pulsating final dash,
0:21:04 > 0:21:08'they got the 1960s retro heater for a cool £60.'
0:21:10 > 0:21:13So. 57 minutes of tension there.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17What did you spend overall? Oh, noisy with all these motorbikes, isn't it?
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- We can tell you what we've got left. - £108 we spent.- £108 we spent.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- £108.- £108.- That's not much, is it?
0:21:25 > 0:21:31- No.- £108. - We had the money in our pocket and just couldn't give it away.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36All right, fair enough. I would like, please, £192, on that basis,
0:21:36 > 0:21:41- which is a lot of money. - £190.- £190. And here's my two. Thank you very much.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Goes across to Colin Young. - Thank you very much.- The legend.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- What you going to spend it on, Col? - Well, again, do I blow it all?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Do I just spend a small amount? Safety or gamble?
0:21:51 > 0:21:57Very, very good. Meanwhile, why don't we remind ourselves what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:21:58 > 0:22:02'Carol and Brian adopted a more leisurely pace
0:22:02 > 0:22:05'and bought the novelty box for £25.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10'They all agreed the claret jug was good value at £70.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16'And finally, got not one but two Stourbridge green glass dumps
0:22:16 > 0:22:18'for £65.'
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Successful was it, Brian? - Very successful.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- How much did you spend all round? - 160.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28160. So I want 140 of leftover lolly, please.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Do you want it now? - Yes, I do, I want it straight away.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Don't worry, I'll trust you. No need to count it.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Goes straight to James Lewis. He's also very trusting.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Where are you going to go off and have a bit of a poke? Across the road or in here?
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- Back in here. Definitely.- Get away from all these beastly motorbikes.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50Anyway, very good luck with that. Meanwhile, we're heading off to the depths of Gloucestershire
0:22:50 > 0:22:53to Snowshill Manor. Ooh-ahh.
0:23:01 > 0:23:07Cor! This is not as easy as it looks. Ooh!
0:23:07 > 0:23:09No bone-shaker, this.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13But I tell you, Penny Farthing-type principle,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16no free-wheeling on the front wheel,
0:23:16 > 0:23:20you are attached to this baby no matter how fast it goes.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Anyway, I'm off up the road to a manor house
0:23:24 > 0:23:27that's got more wheels attached to bicycles
0:23:27 > 0:23:30than you've had hot lunches. Here we go.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Not so easy. Ooh.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35HE HUMS
0:23:36 > 0:23:39'Get ready for something unusual.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43'Snowshill Manor was bought in 1919 by Charles Paget Wade,
0:23:43 > 0:23:48'who spent the next 50 years filling it to the rafters with objects that intrigued him.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52'And when I saw rafters, I mean rafters.'
0:23:54 > 0:24:00I mean, how many roof spaces are crammed with this number of bicycles?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03It's completely crackers, isn't it?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06But there is a chronological progression
0:24:06 > 0:24:08in the development of bicycles
0:24:08 > 0:24:11which can be illustrated out of all these machines.
0:24:11 > 0:24:17The earliest design dates back to about 1818
0:24:17 > 0:24:19and the design for the machine
0:24:19 > 0:24:22is known as a hobby horse.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26If you look at it, it's got no pedals, zero suspension.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31You've got a handlebar-type device to be able to steer with.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36But actually, this pad, this oak pad which might have had a cloth on it
0:24:36 > 0:24:38or some sort of padding,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40was what you'd used when you straddled it
0:24:40 > 0:24:44to literally run with your feet.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47And when you came to go downhill, that's when it really got fun
0:24:47 > 0:24:54cos you'd oink up your legs and put them in these two iron troughs at the front
0:24:54 > 0:24:56and literally whizz down the hill.
0:24:56 > 0:25:04Did these things catch on? Actually, they were used as rich men's toys. But things did develop.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08And I suppose it was the use of metal
0:25:08 > 0:25:10which was the evolutionary process
0:25:10 > 0:25:15that led to something that looks a bit more like the bicycle we use today.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Indeed, it was Monsieur Michaux
0:25:18 > 0:25:21in Paris in 1861
0:25:21 > 0:25:25who came up with the first velocipede design
0:25:25 > 0:25:30where you get a peddle directly attached to the wheel.
0:25:30 > 0:25:37We've still got wooden spokes, but the wooden spokes connect to a metal outer rim
0:25:37 > 0:25:41and into the metal outer rim, some rubber has been inserted.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44The frame itself has got a lot more metal in it.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49You've got a leather-padded seat that sits on a springy bar there
0:25:49 > 0:25:52that would take up some of the vibration.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55And you've still got the troughs in front,
0:25:55 > 0:26:00into which you'd insert your legs when you're going very, very fast downhill.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04There is, however, by now a rudimentary brake.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06That's this piece of string here.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11You yank that and through that eye, it pulls on that bar,
0:26:11 > 0:26:17and at the other end, there's a flat plate that would rub against the rubber, slowing down the back wheel
0:26:17 > 0:26:20and no doubt producing the most incredible pong.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24The first reference to the word bicycle
0:26:24 > 0:26:29is actually in 1869, which coincides with the year
0:26:29 > 0:26:32when these things were invented,
0:26:32 > 0:26:37called the ordinary bicycle, and later nicknames the Penny Farthing.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42Penny because it relates to the larger wheel at the front
0:26:42 > 0:26:45and farthing for the little wheel at the back.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Still we have peddles attached directly.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51No chains, no gears.
0:26:51 > 0:26:57But at least one revolution of the peddles, because of the larger wheel,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00covers a lot of territory on the ground.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03It looks much more like a bicycle, though, doesn't it,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06with wire spokes
0:27:06 > 0:27:10and a lighter construction all round.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15What I like about this one is that it's even got its headlight attached.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20Look at that. That's a oil japanned metal lamp.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24How much light would you get? A miserable amount.
0:27:24 > 0:27:30How likely would you be to fall off a Penny Farthing? Quite likely.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34If you fell off this one when the lamp is lit,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37you'd have the reassurance of not only breaking your leg
0:27:37 > 0:27:40but also starting rather a nasty fire.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44The big question today is, of course, are our teams over at the auction ready to go either?
0:27:44 > 0:27:49That is, breaking their necks or starting fires?
0:27:50 > 0:27:55'Let's hope that there are no injuries or fires as we hot-foot it to the auction!'
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Well, we've got 85.3 miles
0:28:03 > 0:28:07roughly northwards from Hungerford to the heart of Warwickshire.
0:28:07 > 0:28:13In fact, to Stratford on Avon to be at Bigwood's salerooms with Christopher Ironmonger.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Good morning, Tim. A very warm welcome.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Thank you. We always get a warm welcome here. It's lovely to be here.
0:28:19 > 0:28:25- Mike and Karen's first item is this so-called letter knife.- Right.
0:28:25 > 0:28:31Well, it's... It's obviously silver-mounted, Birmingham 1920.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Sometimes they call them page-turners.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36A little bit of debate over that.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40But I think it's quite a well-presented item,
0:28:40 > 0:28:43reasonably good condition and I think we've said £30 to £40.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Well, that's good. £27 was paid. So they'll be delighted with that.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Next are the two Deco-revival brooches
0:28:51 > 0:28:54which I think probably come from Taiwan yesterday.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58I think so, yes. We've catalogued them as reproduction.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- They are what they are.- Plastic.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05Yes. They're not very inspiring. We've said £5 to £10, I'm afraid.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09And if you get £1, you might be struggling.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13It's difficult, isn't it? £21 they paid. They've got the look
0:29:13 > 0:29:18- but intrinsically, age-wise, material-wise, there is no value to those at all.- No.
0:29:18 > 0:29:24People are just going to buy those just cos they think they look appealing but for no other reason.
0:29:24 > 0:29:30We'll see what happens. Their last item in this miscellaneous trio is the heater
0:29:30 > 0:29:34which is, I suppose, a radiant heater and a convector heater, so it's quite clever.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Yeah, it's quite a design statement item.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42I think we've catalogued it 1950s. It's evocative of that period
0:29:42 > 0:29:46and probably quite an ingenious appliance at the time.
0:29:46 > 0:29:52- It's in good nick. I mean, it's not been dented.- Oh, no.- Apart from rewiring, it's in good state.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- What's your estimate? - 50 to 80.- £60 they paid.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00- So we're in the right frame.- They're in the right area.- Brilliant.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02So, will they need their bonus buy or not?
0:30:02 > 0:30:07I suspect they may, in which case, we'd better go and have a look at it.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12Now, Mike and Karen, we are going to reveal the bonus buy.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17You gave Colin Young £192 of leftover lolly.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21- Colin, what did you spend it on? - Well, can you guess what it is yet?
0:30:21 > 0:30:27- Er...a picture? - OK! There's going to be no surprises here, then, is there?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Let's have a look at what we've got.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33It's a late 19th century oil on canvas.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36It's a landscape with shepherdess just wandering through a country path.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40It's signed Barclay. Just need a light clean
0:30:40 > 0:30:44to take a little bit of the gunge off it. I thought it was something worth a gamble.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48- OK.- How big a gamble? - How much did you give me?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- £192.- Oh, yeah, I blew the lot.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53- Really?- Yeah! Of course!- OK.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- Would you expect anything less? - That's a gamble.- It is a gamble.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Three years ago, this did actually go for auction.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04It made £170.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07There's been very little change in this market over the period,
0:31:07 > 0:31:11so we hope that it's going to do OK.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- Good for you. It gives you some choices, though, doesn't it? - It does.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- You were modest in your expenditure, £108.- I know.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22He's blown the lot, bought a quality item,
0:31:22 > 0:31:25speculated for you.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28But you won't decide until after the sale of your first three items.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Colin's oil.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Well, well, well, Christopher, here's a challenge for you.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41It's a furnishing picture, in my view.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44I don't see it as having great artistic merit.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47But somebody might like it just as a wall filler.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52We've said £20 to £30. It might do a little bit better, but I can't see if doing a lot better.
0:31:52 > 0:31:58- Listen, £192 was expended on this oil by Barclay. - HE LAUGHS
0:31:58 > 0:32:02It's supposed to bail out this team in case they're in trouble.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06- Well, I think they might be better to bail out on the picture. - You're quite right.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09And now for the Blues, Carol and Brian.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Their first item is the piece of Black Forest.
0:32:12 > 0:32:17Yes, it's quite fun. Quite popular, these sorts of novelty items.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19We've said £15 to £20. Might do a little bit more.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23- But £15 to £20 is an estimate. - £25 they paid.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- Yeah. - Next up is the so-called claret jug.
0:32:26 > 0:32:33We've catalogued it as a claret jug. I have to admit, it's probably more likely a water jug from a tea set.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- We've said £20 to £30. - I think you're probably spot on.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41£70 they paid, so that's going to be a bit of a dead loss, I fancy.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43And their last item are these two dumps.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47They do sell well. People like they, they're appealing on the side
0:32:47 > 0:32:51and they're something that has maintained its interest.
0:32:51 > 0:32:57I think we've said, perhaps a little meanly, £30 to £40, but I've seen some sell at £50ish.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Each? So they paid £65 for the two.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05Good. Well, if you're wrong and they're right, they might make a profit on that.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09But I don't think they're going to make up for the losses on that so-called claret jug,
0:33:09 > 0:33:13in which case, they'll need their bonus buy. Let's have a look at it!
0:33:14 > 0:33:20Now, Carol and Brian, your bonus buy. £130 went to James Lewis. What did you spend it on?
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Well, I spent your money on...
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- Oh, yes!- OK?
0:33:26 > 0:33:30They're big, they're decorative, a pair of Japanese terracotta vases.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- Gosh, James! Where did you find these?- And tell us what you paid.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Well, I'll tell you where I found them first, right on the top of a corner cupboard
0:33:40 > 0:33:43and it had a price tag of 140 crossed out,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45100 crossed out,
0:33:45 > 0:33:49it was left at 80 and I got them for 50.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53- That was a bargain.- I think they're big and their decorative.
0:33:53 > 0:33:59- They do make a statement.- They do. There's no great quality about them, but they're there.- I like them.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04I hope we'll be looking at £80 to £100, something like that.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06- It could be spectacular.- Yes.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10They've got little bits of gilt, as well, to highlight them.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14- Yeah.- They've got...- I think you're a born again star.- Ah.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16You've got your fan base all around you, James.
0:34:16 > 0:34:22Let us find out, at least for the viewers at home, what the auctioneer thinks about James's vases.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Right, Christopher, here's another challenge for you.
0:34:26 > 0:34:33Well, erm, I have to say, not exactly something that appeals to me greatly.
0:34:33 > 0:34:38The figures and the whole decoration, although it's fairly profuse,
0:34:38 > 0:34:40it doesn't excite, I have to say.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44They seem to me to very much have the feel
0:34:44 > 0:34:48of a Derbyshire pottery. The old Bretby ware.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- You could well be right. - But they're decorative.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55- They're decorate, I suppose. We've said £50 to £70.- Fine.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Well, James paid £50 for them.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01And if he, as a Derbyshire auctioneer, doesn't recognise them as being Bretby,
0:35:01 > 0:35:05then I'm probably barking up the wrong tree. Well, probably barking, actually.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09- HE LAUGHS - The barking bit's for certain. The tree is different.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13Anyway, that's fair enough. Are you feeling like doing a bit of barking yourself today?
0:35:13 > 0:35:16- Yes, I'll be on the rostrum. - Barking away.- I will.
0:35:16 > 0:35:1834. 36? 36.
0:35:18 > 0:35:2138. 38. 40.
0:35:21 > 0:35:2542. £40. 40!
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Now, Mike and Karen, how are you feeling?
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- Looking forward to it. - Are you?- Yeah.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32- You go to auctions a lot, don't you? - We do.
0:35:32 > 0:35:37- Would you be encouraged by a nice crowded room like this?- Yes.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- Me, too.- It's great looking at a busy room like this
0:35:40 > 0:35:43rather than people just leaving bids, on the telephone.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Bodies on the ground are what you want at sales.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50Right, first up is the page-turner-cum-letter-knife.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Birmingham 1920. Who's got £30 for it?
0:35:53 > 0:35:56£30? £20, then.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00- £20. 20 I'm bid. 20. 22? 22. 24? - Come on.
0:36:00 > 0:36:05- 26.- Oh, thank goodness for that. - 28.- £1 profit.- 30. 32?
0:36:05 > 0:36:09£30 seated. At 30. Last chance at 30.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Not so much. £30. He's quick with the hammer.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15That is plus £3, thank you very much. £3 profit.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- We'll build on this. - Here come your brooches, darling.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22£20 for these. 10 to get me going.
0:36:22 > 0:36:2410 I'm bid. 12. 14? 14.
0:36:24 > 0:36:2616. 18?
0:36:26 > 0:36:2816 on the stairs. 18.
0:36:28 > 0:36:3116 with you, sir. 18 is it? £16, it's going to go.
0:36:31 > 0:36:36All done at 16? On the stairs at 16. 3388.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40£16 on the stairs. That is minus £5.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Minus £5, which means minus 2 overall.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46That's nothing! Now, here comes the heater.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Quite the fashion or design statement there.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Who's going to give me £50 for it?
0:36:51 > 0:36:55Start me at 30, then. £20.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Start me at 10.- Ohh.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02I've got to sell it. Come on! Somebody give me £10.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- £10.- It's on the sign. They said no good.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Come on. £10, get me going.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10I can't believe this.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14A fiver! Oh, dear. All right, £5 I'm bid. 5. At least he started me.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- Come on, 10 surely! - Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20Are you done? You've disappointed me, but it'll have to go.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22- HAMMER BANGS - Thank you.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26So, you are minus £57. What are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:37:26 > 0:37:31Are you going to go with it or are you going or bank your losses
0:37:31 > 0:37:34at minus £57? What's it going to be?
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Erm, I think we'll bank our losses.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40- Stay as we are.- Yeah.
0:37:40 > 0:37:45I don't think they're going to get the money for the picture and we'll going to gain a bigger loss.
0:37:45 > 0:37:50No bonus buy, then. Well, you can ring-fence your losses at minus 57.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54Meanwhile, we're going to sell the painting anyway, and here it comes.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59A lot of bids of this, which means I can start at £60. On the book at 60.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02At 60. 5 do I hear? At 60.
0:38:02 > 0:38:0465. I've got 70. Will you go 5, sir?
0:38:04 > 0:38:0775. I've got 80. Will you go 5?
0:38:08 > 0:38:1180 with me on the book. 5 might do it, you never know. £80.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Here on the book at 80. One more do you want to go?
0:38:13 > 0:38:18At £80 on the book. 85. I've got 90. 95?
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- £90. On the book at £90. - HAMMER BANGS
0:38:22 > 0:38:26£90 is minus £102.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- But you didn't go with the bonus buy.- No.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32That means you are at minus £57, which could easily be a winning score.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- So don't say a thing to the Blues, OK?- OK.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- Now, Carol and Brian, how are you feeling?- Bit nervous.- Are you?
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Very nervous. - You're not the nervy type.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- No! It's a bit of fun so it doesn't matter.- It doesn't matter that much
0:38:48 > 0:38:52- but it's always nice to win.- It is. - Do you know how the Reds got on?
0:38:52 > 0:38:54- No.- No idea.- That's good.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Now, first up is the Black Forest box and here it comes.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Late 19th, early 20th century continental
0:39:00 > 0:39:03carved and painted softwood tobacco box. £20.
0:39:03 > 0:39:0515, then. 10 I'm bid.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08At 12 if you like. 12. 14?
0:39:08 > 0:39:1114. 16. 18. 20.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15- That's it, keep going. - £20, I'm going to sell it at 20.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Any advance on £20? Bid's on my left. Are you done?
0:39:18 > 0:39:21£20. That's a shame. Minus £5.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26Still, let's not get hysterical. Next up is the claret jug.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Interesting item there. And I've got a bid on the book at £20.
0:39:30 > 0:39:3320. 5. 30. 5. 40 is it?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35At 35. 40. 5.
0:39:35 > 0:39:3945. 50. 55. 60.
0:39:39 > 0:39:4160. 5. 70.
0:39:41 > 0:39:4575. 75. 80. 75.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49Right at the back at 75. All done and finished at 75?
0:39:49 > 0:39:52That's brilliant! That is so much better than I thought.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Plus 5. You had minus 5. Now you've got absolutely nothing!
0:39:56 > 0:40:01- THEY LAUGH - It's down to the dumps! - Down to the dumps, yes.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Fashioned with internal flower and another paperweight, similar.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08And I can start the bidding on this at £40 on my book.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12At 40. And 5. 50. And 5. £50. And 5 do I hear?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14At £50 only and it's going to go at 50.
0:40:14 > 0:40:1955. 60 is it? 55, new bidder at the table at 55. 60 do you want to go?
0:40:19 > 0:40:22- Go on! Go on!- Go on!
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Last chance at 55.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27- Ohh!- Oh, dear. 55.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30That was so close. Minus £10.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Overall, you are minus £10.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35- And that's really not too bad, is it?- No.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40- It's not too bad. I'm disappointed about the glass items.- Mm.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43I just hope you're not too much down in the dumps.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47- What about the terracotta vases? Are you going to go with them? - Yes, I think we must do.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51- Total confidence. - We're going to trust James.- Really?
0:40:51 > 0:40:55You've made your decision, we're going to sell them and here they come.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Who's going to give me £50 for them?
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Give me 30, then, let's get going. £30.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05£20. £20 I'm bid. 5. 30. 5?
0:41:05 > 0:41:07£30 at the front here. Is it 5 now?
0:41:07 > 0:41:12At £30. Only bid at £30. 35 if you want to go on.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16- 30 I've got.- No!- Last chance at £30. - HAMMER BANGS
0:41:16 > 0:41:20Uh-oh. £30. We're compounding an error here.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Minus £20, which means overall you are minus £30.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- That could be a winning score. - It's not a disaster.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30It's not. Well, it could've been better,
0:41:30 > 0:41:35but it could be a winning score, so don't talk to the Reds, all will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:40 > 0:41:45- Well, what a lovely day we've had today. Have you been chatting at all?- ALL: No.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49Well, there's not much between you. There should be no secret
0:41:49 > 0:41:54to the fact that no team is walking home with any cash today, sadly.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57You're both in the red, so to speak.
0:41:57 > 0:42:03But the team that is marginally more in the red...are the Reds.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- Ohh.- But it's only marginal, so don't be depressed.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Your total score is minus 57.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13And it started off so beautifully with that nice little profit
0:42:13 > 0:42:15on the page-turner-cum-letter-knife
0:42:15 > 0:42:18and went down gradually from there.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- Karen, have you had a nice time? - I've had a wonderful time. Thank you.
0:42:21 > 0:42:28It's been lovely seeing you, Mike. Keep up the collecting in Wales and Herefordshire.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32Anyway, thank you very much, Colin, for your assistance. Brilliant.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36But the victors today, who win by only managing to lose £30,
0:42:36 > 0:42:39are Carol and Brian.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43Well done, team. Congratulations. Always nice to come marginally ahead.
0:42:43 > 0:42:48And just shows what I know about anything cos I predicted that your claret jug would do very badly
0:42:48 > 0:42:53and it was the only thing you made a profit on. So I go away humbled, too. But we had a lovely day.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
