0:00:03 > 0:00:07To cook up a decent show, you need a good dollop of expertise
0:00:07 > 0:00:11and we've got David Harper and Nick Hall.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Mm! Could be cheesy.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49This fair should be the perfect location,
0:00:49 > 0:00:53on the outskirts of Peterborough, for our antiques spotters, surely?
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Valerie wants silver, so David Harper finds her some.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- Valerie, talk to me. - Well, I think it's a bit tatty.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Eh! I do apologise. I am very sorry.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Oh, dear!
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- And the Reds?- I'm not sure.- It's not something I would want in my house.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14It looks like my two-year-old painted it.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- I'm not keen.- You're not. - Off we go, then.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Picky, picky, picky.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Mm. Let's meet the teams.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31And in the Red team today we have Kerry and John, married couple.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- That's right.- How many years is it, Kerry?- Six years.- Six years.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- And still counting.- Yes. - Which is lovely, isn't it?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Now, I believe you're in the business of male makeover.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44That's right. I've been hairdressing for 15 years
0:01:44 > 0:01:48and I've owned my own gents barbershop in Peterborough
0:01:48 > 0:01:49for about six years, now.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Did you start cutting hair when you were two?
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- You must have started when you were very young. - Straight from school pretty much.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02- Now, the two of you like to perform a bit.- Like a bit of karaoke, yes.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05One of our first dates involved a bit of karaoke.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09By freak chance we both chose the same song to sing.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Oh, lovely. So it was meant to happen, then?- Yeah.- Oh, yeah.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Yeah. I believe in fate.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Now, you're pretty competitive. - Absolutely.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I've never lost a game of Monopoly in my life,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22so I don't intend on losing here today either.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Oh, well, we've had those predictions before
0:02:24 > 0:02:27and it all goes very badly wrong. Anyway, very good luck.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Now for the Blues, you lovebirds. - Yes.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34So are you engaged or just stepping out or what?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36I only met her in the car park.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40What do you mean? You met her on the internet, that what it says here.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- It's true.- You're in the honeymoon phase, Valerie.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Absolutely, yes. I recommend it to everybody.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48You're looking well on it, doll.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53Well, my son said to me, "Mum, you're on your own now, you need company."
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Yeah.- So he said, "Why don't you try the internet?"
0:02:56 > 0:02:57I thought, "Silly fool."
0:02:57 > 0:03:02Then I did and I met Keith and we haven't looked back, have we?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Isn't that lovely? - We have a fabulous time.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08But was it strange, talking electronically and then meeting?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- Not really.- No?- No.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Where did you meet, then? In a pub? - John Lewis for tea, didn't we?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Oh, how sweet.- I know. - Afternoon tea.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18- Afternoon tea.- How lovely.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Now, will you two agree about what to buy today?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Not a chance.- Absolutely not.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Good. I look forward to your shopping operation, then.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Anyway, here we go. Here's the money moment, look.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- There, Valerie, is your £300. - Thank you.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- And Kerry, there's your £300. - Thank you.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go
0:03:40 > 0:03:41and very, very, very good luck.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Two pairs of lovebirds, eh?
0:03:44 > 0:03:50# Love is in the air Everywhere I look around... #
0:03:50 > 0:03:52You two lovebirds, what are we looking for, Valerie?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56I like anything with robins and snowdrops on.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Robins and snowdrops?- No. - Do you find that tacky, Keith?
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Horrible.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Oh, dear. That didn't last long, did it?
0:04:04 > 0:04:09I think I'd like something silver, a locket or a spoon or something.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- A girly thing.- Yeah.- What about you, John? More practical?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I like anything technical, that's had some skill or...
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- A bit of engineering. - Engineering, mechanical.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20What about for you?
0:04:20 > 0:04:25I have an interest in anything to do with engineering
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- in the very loosest sense.- OK.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Fine. Me, too, so let's go and find something.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34So machines for the boys and something pretty for the girls.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Right, off we shop.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I really like all the bright colours of these glass things on here.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Glass can be good.
0:04:46 > 0:04:52Now, that's interesting because of these what look like gold dust.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57It's sprinkled into the mix when they make it.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59There's no maker's mark on there.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02It's just a nice piece of glass.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Good workmanship.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07We don't want to pay a lot of money because we don't know who it's by
0:05:07 > 0:05:09but if it was cheap enough...
0:05:09 > 0:05:12It's 14 quid before we've even haggled.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16If it was like eight or ten quid, there might be five or ten pound profit in it
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- just because of the quality. It's a cheap lot.- What do you think? - I like it.- Do you?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23There's not a lot to lose, is there? But I do like it.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Why don't you go and sweet-talk the chap.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30- Try eight and see where it goes.- OK. - But it's not a deal at 14.- Right.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Okey-dokey. I'll go and have a word.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Hi. This is at 14. What's the best you could do on it?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- A tenner.- A tenner? We'll give you eight.- Eight.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Ah, that's not nice. I should have said 12.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- We'd have still said eight. - What do you think?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Ten.- What are we thinking? - Meet us in the middle? Nine?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Yeah, go on.- Yeah?- £9. - Fantastic.- Fantastic.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- £9.- OK.- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58So Kerry gets something pretty for under a tenner,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01which leaves John plenty for a piece of engineering.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Hold on, has Keith got there first with...?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Oh! A machine for holding flowers.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13Well, it says West Germany.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15There's a number 25 on it.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20OK, well, you know, that tells me that that was made in West Germany.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Yes and that's about all.- Yeah.
0:06:23 > 0:06:29But that is a 1960s retro piece of funky gear.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Not very many years ago, you'd throw that on a tip and never want to see it again
0:06:33 > 0:06:36but today you could make a lamp out of it
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- and in a trendy flat, that would look the biz.- Yeah.- Really?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Really?!
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Let's get a price on it. Hello. Are you the stallholder?- I am.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Marvellous.- Hi.- What sort of price have we got on this one?
0:06:47 > 0:06:52I love it and I would buy that and put that in my shop and sell it.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- But when you put it into a general auction, you take a chance, don't you?- Yes.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- So can you help us out?- 45.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- 45.- 45?- Valerie, do you like it?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04You walked over to see it, didn't you?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06I like it.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Erm...
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Do you like it for £45? - Well, I'm not sure.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Could it be 35, just to tempt us?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16That is too low. I'm sorry.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I'll owe you a cup of tea, how's that?
0:07:18 > 0:07:19With sugar.
0:07:19 > 0:07:2135... Go on.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Good man. Lovely.- Good man.- Go on.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Thank you!- Thank you very much.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Thanks a lot.- OK, then.- A pleasure.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- We now own a vase.- Well done. You stylish pair, you.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36I think your enthusiasm pushed that deal through, David.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40So the score is one vase all. How about no more vases, eh?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42It should be 30 quid now.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- Now, does that interest you at all? - Oh, it's an ink well.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- I'm not enamoured.- Are you not?- No.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- I like that. It's a piece of what's called Black Forest carving...- Yeah.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00..in the Bavarian region.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03There's a lot of very serious collectors for this sort of stuff.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Can you see any mileage in that?- It's not cheap. They're asking 295.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09There might be some movement on there.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- The death is 250 on that one. - 250's the death on that?- Yeah.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16What do you think? It's a lot of money, isn't it?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- It's a lot of money. - It's just too much, yeah.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22I'd have a go at 250 but it's not going to leave us any money.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23- No, no, that's true.- Yeah.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- No.- OK, let's walk on. - It's a lovely thing. Thank you.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Keep trying, Nick,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33but at the moment, these two are just not playing ball.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Now, are the Blues being more agreeable?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- What about the light over there? Do you like that?- No.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- The Chinaman?- I quite like him. - Mandarin.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- I don't know. Would it be very old? - Let's have a look.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- Ooh, he's heavy.- How heavy is he? - It's heavy.- Yeah.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- So it's...- Have you got it?- Yeah.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It's not an ancient one, is it? It's only '60s, I think.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00It might be a tad earlier.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03It might, you know... It's very difficult to say.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06You'd just have to describe it as mid to late 20th century.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- But it's got a look.- How much is it? - Shall we ask him?
0:09:09 > 0:09:14- Excuse me.- What would be your best on this one?- 70.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15OK. 70.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I mean, it's not a fortune, is it? It really isn't.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Do you like it, Keith? - It struck me as we walked by.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Erm... But I thought it was probably older.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- Could we perhaps try and...- Do you want to offer him 50?- ..talk sweet?
0:09:30 > 0:09:35Excuse me. I'm sorry to keep distracting your lunch.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40We do quite like that but obviously, we haven't got much to spend at all.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- Would you go down to 50?- £55.- 55.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- I think we've got a deal.- Thank you.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Thanks very much.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- These two are like antique dealers. They just buy.- Thank you.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Wow! Speedy! And in case you missed it...
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Obviously, we haven't got much money to spend at all.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Val talked the talk.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- I think we've got a deal.- Thank you.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07And Keith was straight in there to seal the deal.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Now, Reds, you're wagging. Sorry, lagging.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Look what I've just found over here.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Now, it's not on its own. There's a pair of them.- OK.- Right.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- They're actually by Bretby.- Right.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Do you like them?- Erm... Hm.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26They look like they should have the ashes of my grandma in them.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Oh, bless! That sounds awfully morbid.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I don't like them at all.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Look, I said no more vases, right?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Maybe the piece you'll all agree on is just around the corner.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40What about that wonderful figure there? Initial thoughts?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Yeah, I'm...- I'm not sure.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44It's not something I would want in my house.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Let's be honest, it looks like my two-year-old painted it.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- I'm not keen.- John's not so keen, are you?- Off we go, then.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56They're not digging your taste, Nick, old boy.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Time to get tough.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- I'm starting to panic now. - Well, we're still doing fine.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04If we find another one in the next five or ten minutes,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- then you're on Easy Street.- Yeah. - Don't panic yet.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Too nice! I said tough.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Oh, I don't know.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13We haven't really seen any silver, have we?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Do you fancy a bit of silver?- Mm. - Do you really?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I love silver. We can find a bit of silver.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Do you fancy a bit of silver? - Do you like silver?
0:11:20 > 0:11:25- Erm, yes, I...- No? - I'm not against silver
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- but I would really like to see if we could find something...- Mechanical.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Mechanical in some way.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34How about a silver machine?
0:11:34 > 0:11:39- There's a big clock for you, Keith. Does it do anything for you?- Er...
0:11:39 > 0:11:41It's not very pretty, is it?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44What's up with these teams, eh?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- You wanted something mechanical. - Yes but I'm quite picky.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Oh. Oh, dear. You never told me that at the beginning.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Did you ask, David?
0:11:53 > 0:11:58Let's do a quick time check. You have had 33 minutes.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Oh.- So we've got 27 minutes left. - 27 minutes left.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- Bags of time.- Don't be saying that. It goes in a flash, I promise you.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10- So, continue?- Yeah.- Come on. - Look for some silver, if we can.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Shall we buy Valerie some silver?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Shall we do that or do you want to buy yourself a clock?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18We'll see if it's nice silver.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Come on, Val. Put your foot down, girl,
0:12:20 > 0:12:23maybe on the accelerator.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Right, time for a bit of style.
0:12:27 > 0:12:33My gosh! This is a cracking example of German womanhood.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Ha!
0:12:35 > 0:12:39You can imagine this Fraulein in 1936,
0:12:39 > 0:12:43throwing her javelin in the Berlin games.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47We're missing one half of the javelin
0:12:47 > 0:12:49that should be attached to the other end here
0:12:49 > 0:12:51but it's present.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53It just needs a bit of restoration.
0:12:53 > 0:12:59She's interesting because of the mixed media that have been employed
0:12:59 > 0:13:00in her manufacture.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Her gymslipped body is actually made of yellow bronze
0:13:04 > 0:13:08and that's been cast and then patinated
0:13:08 > 0:13:11to give it this greenish colour.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16All her limbs and her head are made of solid elephant ivory.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20If you're sharp-eyed, you'll spot on the back a scratched signature,
0:13:20 > 0:13:24F Preiss for Ferdinand Preiss.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Preiss, alongside his friend Chiparus,
0:13:26 > 0:13:30were the very best carvers in this style in the Art Deco period
0:13:30 > 0:13:35and these things are very, very sought after internationally.
0:13:35 > 0:13:41It's not the sort of thing that you would expect to find, quite frankly,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44outdoors in a field at the Peterborough fair
0:13:44 > 0:13:46but it's here.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50What's it worth? Well, you can tell I'm pretty keen on it
0:13:50 > 0:13:53and the dealer knows all about it
0:13:53 > 0:13:58because he's priced her up at £5,500.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Achtung.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Now, Kerry and John still have two items to find
0:14:06 > 0:14:08but Valerie and Keith only need one.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11What's this? Could it be the machine of Keith's dreams?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- What is that? - It's a marmalade cutter.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- How do you know that then? - Because it says on it...- Right.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21..marmalade cutter.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I know about these things.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26That's the kind of trick I use to make myself look clever.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- A marmalade cutter.- Basically, you shove your orange in there...
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- How lovely is that? - ..and you cut it there.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- Is that mechanical enough for you? - It's the sort of thing I like.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Shall we get a price? What sort of money is it?
0:14:41 > 0:14:42- Well, £30, really.- £30.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- It's got to be worth that sort of money. - It's worth 30 quid all day long
0:14:46 > 0:14:50but whether it's going to find anyone in the auction is the chance we take.
0:14:50 > 0:14:55- Great for a hotelier or something. - You don't like it, do you?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- It's not silver, Valerie, is it? - No!
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- If it was silver, would you like it? - And it's not pretty.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05It might not be pretty to you but to us, we find it pretty.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- It's functional. - Yes. Do you fancy it?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- Erm, we'll look a little further. - All right.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16- We'll keep it in mind.- Is that all right?- I'm happy to do that.- Thanks.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Val isn't keen, so Keith's moving on. How sweet.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Now, isn't that the quirkiest little thing you've ever seen?
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- The legs kick, the fan moves. - It looks like an ashtray.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32It's a novelty ashtray and what a novelty.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Novelty sells.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Would you think that's actually any age to that?
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Well, '50s, '60s. I guess it's what you'd call kitsch.- Yeah.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Do you like that?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Right, drum roll, please!
0:15:43 > 0:15:45DRUM ROLL
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- It's quite cute. - It's quirky, that's for sure.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51CROWD CHEERING
0:15:51 > 0:15:53About time, thank you.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Where's the chap? Let me see...
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- Hi. Is 25 any good to you? - No, it has to be 30.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- £30.- Has to be 30. - Any mileage in that?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Yeah, why not?- Yeah? - And it's in lovely condition.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- It is in good condition. - You know what, I've seen David Harper do that pose.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- 30 quid?- Yeah.- We're going for it, everybody.- Thanks.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Hooray. The Reds are back on track.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20It's mechanical, it's pretty and it cost £30.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Right, teams, 15 minutes to find that essential last item.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28I don't know which way to head. I don't know this fair.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Let's head down there.- OK. - Can we get out of here, yeah?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34That's it, John, you lead the way.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Ah, loads of silver for Val.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Valerie, this must be heaven for you.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Yeah but I was thinking something like a dish or...
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- That's quite unusual, that little pincushion there.- Yes.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49That's a box.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52You put your cottons in it. That's what it's for.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Yeah. Quite nice, isn't it?
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- Well, I think it's a bit tatty. - Eh! I do apologise.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- I am very sorry. - Don't worry about it, OK?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- I tell you what I do like very much...- Yeah?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07..and that's that silver picture frame.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- That is absolutely delightful. - It's sweet.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Picture frames do very well in silver.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Do you like it?- Yes, I do, actually. - I quite like that.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Yeah, I do, as well.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- Can you give me your best price on that? Just see what they think.- OK.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Being as she's such an attractive lady, I'll give her a fiver and a kiss.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- I'd rather have the fiver. - That's a deal.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39She might take four quid if you didn't do the kiss.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41- I can do it for 40.- Is that it?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- Really?- Really.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- Oh.- We have to eat. That's it. Definitely.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- I...- 35?- No. Definitely not.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- No.- Cos it's got a little dent in there.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Well, do you know how old that is? - That's normal. It's normal.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- I've got a few dents myself. - Me, too!
0:18:01 > 0:18:05It's a toss-up between this and your marmalade.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10- Oh, I'd go with that.- As I say, for 35 I think it's a bargain.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- He's trying.- Very. Very trying.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Keith, your charms are just not working at all.- Not at all.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- I know.- I should've put some aftershave on today.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- You should have. What do you think? - Just a little...- All right, 35.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- And go away.- Well, I...
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Shake her hand.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31You are a master, that's what you are.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33No, he's just a pain.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35'Well, he's lovely, really.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39'So Keith's persistence bagged this sweet little frame for £35
0:18:39 > 0:18:40'and the Blues are done.'
0:18:40 > 0:18:43We're butch enough to link arms, aren't we?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46With four minutes left, it's over to the Reds,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49perhaps being a little less picky?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- We're pushed for time. - How much is the...?- 165.- 165.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- 165. What condition's it in?- Used.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58It's in used condition.
0:18:58 > 0:19:04So that means that you are flexible on the price. Let's have a look.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Guys, it's been knocked and battered and bruised
0:19:06 > 0:19:08but it's nice, it's Victorian.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13For that sort of condition, I wouldn't want to pay that much money.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15What would you see that making in an auction?
0:19:15 > 0:19:21100 to 150. What about this smaller one? If we come down in size is the price going to drop?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24That's 75.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Actually, I tell you what, condition wise, this is better.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31That's a sweet little thing. I like the timber as well.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- Could that be 40 quid?- No, 60 would be the death on that one.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Well, you've got that at 60, we're stuck at around the 110-120 mark on that.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- We've got three or four minutes left.- Yes.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46But we've got a lot of money left to spend.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I don't know if you want to push on, come back to this.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Do you want to risk it?- Do you want to risk it for a biscuit?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Risk it.- We'll be back.- Thank you. - Thank you.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56Right, leg it.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02You're moving on with seconds to go? Huh! I can't bear it.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Time's not our friend today, is it? - I know. We're back to here again.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- We've come back. - We've gone full circle, haven't we?
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- How much did he say he was going to do that for?- 250 was the best.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16We've got 261 left
0:20:16 > 0:20:21and you've got that nice little chest of drawers for 60 quid.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23What do you want to do, then? Your decision.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26That or the little £60 drawers?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Let's do the chest of drawers. - Chest of drawers.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31He's a decision-making man, isn't he? Come on.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35You get the money out. Let's get that chest of drawers.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41Well, it's still there. We've got 30 seconds, 29...
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- 28...- Do you mind if I just butt in? I've got 30 seconds left.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- Can we do 60 on that, then? - 60 and we've got a deal.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- We're done.- Cheers. - Thank goodness for that.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- We made it.- Excellent.- By the skin of our teeth, we just made it.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00Phew! With a bit of queue jumping, the Reds are done - just.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03So, it was a quick start for Kerry and John,
0:21:03 > 0:21:07buying their studio glass vase for a mere £9.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12This glamorous ashtray was next to catch their eye. £30 paid.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17And with only seconds to spare, John jumped in
0:21:17 > 0:21:20and bought this apprentice chest for £60.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- I thought we weren't going to make it.- Hey, you lot.- Hi, Tim.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- That is just ridiculous, isn't it? - Yes. We were cutting it a bit fine.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32A bit fine? You're a hairdresser, you're used to cutting it fine.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- I don't know. Anyway, it was good fun, though.- It was brilliant.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38You managed to spend all of £99,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41which is the most pathetic total I've ever come across.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44What's going on? You're a woman. Don't you go out and spend?
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Yeah, I wanted to but, you know, being with two boys,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- they reined me in. - Is that what it was?- Yeah.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- So who's got the £201?- I have. - You have? Thank you very much.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56£201 coming my way. Thank you.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- £201.- £1.- I can't believe it.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I don't know why we bother giving you £300.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- That's a lot of money, that is. - Isn't it just?
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- I hope you're going to spend the lot.- I'm going to relish this and find something very good.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- I bet you are. - There's a lot of scope out there.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Certainly is. Everything to go for and very, very good luck. Super job.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Why don't we check out what the Blues bought?
0:22:19 > 0:22:24Keith saw red and this West German vase became retro item number one.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30Valerie's powers of persuasion sealed item two, this Chinese lamp.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32And finally, Val got her silver
0:22:32 > 0:22:36in the shape of this little picture frame, for £35.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Here's Tim. - Are you eyeing the women up, Tim?
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- What's happening? Have you finished? - We've finished, yes.- All done.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Was it good fun, Keith? - It was excellent fun.- Was it?- Yeah.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- And did you enjoy it? - Oh, every minute of it.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- So you spent how much, darling? - £125.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Can I have £175 of leftover lolly? - Not off me.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59£175. Here we go.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00The keeper of the budget.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- It goes straight to David Harper. - Thank you.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- What are you going to spend that on? - There's so much to get at.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I'm desperate to get outside in the sun and go hunting.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- It's what I do!- Yes but make sure you put your hat on.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- Why, do I need it?- Do I need it? Anyway, good luck.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Meanwhile, I feel something spiritual coming on
0:23:19 > 0:23:23and I'm heading south to Stonor Park in Oxfordshire.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Ooh-ah.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Ah! What a peaceful place.
0:23:33 > 0:23:39This circle of stones represents a place of pagan worship
0:23:39 > 0:23:44and the stones have been standing here for some 4,000 years.
0:23:44 > 0:23:51The Stonor family set up home here in this stony valley,
0:23:51 > 0:23:56from which they take their name, some 800 years ago.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02They were Catholics
0:24:02 > 0:24:06but when they came to build their own place of worship,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10they incorporated one of these pagan stones
0:24:10 > 0:24:12into the foundations of their chapel.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20Built in the 13th century, this chapel soon became incorporated
0:24:20 > 0:24:22into their grand residence.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24But little did the Stonors know
0:24:24 > 0:24:27the chapel would become a symbol of defiance
0:24:27 > 0:24:29against the monarchy.
0:24:29 > 0:24:36By the 1530s, Henry VIII had decided to eradicate Catholicism from Britain
0:24:36 > 0:24:38by fair means or foul
0:24:38 > 0:24:43and the Stonor family suffered more than most.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48Not only were they fined, they lost land, they were imprisoned,
0:24:48 > 0:24:52they lost social position and prestige.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57And the outward manifestation of all those losses
0:24:57 > 0:24:59affected this space, the chapel.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02It fell into utter disrepair.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06It wasn't until the Catholic Emancipation acts
0:25:06 > 0:25:08at the end of the 18th century
0:25:08 > 0:25:11that the family felt emboldened enough
0:25:11 > 0:25:14to restore this space.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17The style that we see within right now
0:25:17 > 0:25:22is essentially the confection of Gothic,
0:25:22 > 0:25:27with the pointed, lancet, almost arrow-slit type windows,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29running around the outside.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33The Gothic detail to this dummy ceiling, with its fan vaulting.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37And I guess for me, the best Gothic feature of all,
0:25:37 > 0:25:42the mouldings above the two doors entering the chapel at the end.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Isn't that exquisite?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46A little bit of foliage on the top,
0:25:46 > 0:25:50then a double ogee making that shape.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Underneath that, there's a sheet of glass
0:25:53 > 0:25:58that's had applied to it the ultimate Gothic element,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00which is the quatrefoil.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04But it wasn't just the architectural details following the Gothic style
0:26:04 > 0:26:06that the family went with.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09They even managed to acquire some Gothic furniture.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16And, boy, are these chairs Gothic!
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Gosh!
0:26:17 > 0:26:24The backs are a pair of conjoined spiky Gothic pinnacles, look.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28The splats are centred by more quatrefoil
0:26:28 > 0:26:34and if I take this comfy padded seat out, it reveals the seats.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Now, these chairs look like expensive ebony. They're not.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43They're country-made chairs that have been stained with black paint
0:26:43 > 0:26:46to make them look more expensive.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51This seat is a solid lump of elm that has been chiselled out
0:26:51 > 0:26:53in the shape of your bottom,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56so that when you sit on it, it's a little more comfortable.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00It's dished and where does that happen in Britain?
0:27:00 > 0:27:04It happens in the Windsor chair-making industry.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08And where's that based? It's based up the Thames valley,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10just down the road from Stonor Park.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13So I reckon these chairs are locally made
0:27:13 > 0:27:18and may actually have been commissioned by the Stonors in this Gothic style
0:27:18 > 0:27:21for this Gothic chapel. How lovely is that?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23The big question today is, of course,
0:27:23 > 0:27:29will our teams over at the auction be on their hands and knees?
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Well, we've popped 50 miles north-ish from Peterborough
0:27:43 > 0:27:47to the glorious cathedral city of Lincoln.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50So, Colin Young, Kerry and John, their first item
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- is this hideous blue vase.- Yeah.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- You like that?- I like it to limits. - To limits.- To limits.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00It's the type of thing that we see plenty of.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01They come through the rooms.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- They make low tens in value. - Low tens.- Yeah.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- Might that be 20 or 30? - Yeah, it easily should make that sort of money.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Kerry would be delighted if you got more than nine smackers for it.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Next is the Japanese novelty lady.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- Yes.- Now, how old do you think that is, Colin?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Erm, I would say she looks about 28.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- Really? You're such an experienced man.- Thank you.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Not at all. I don't think, personally, it's very old.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33I think it probably dates from about 1999, myself.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34If I was going to date that,
0:28:34 > 0:28:39I would guess it's more likely to be in the range of 1960s to 1980s.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44- Oh, right.- And the reason for that is the high-gloss gold work on it.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47But nevertheless, it's amusing, isn't it?
0:28:47 > 0:28:51It's a bit of fun and certainly somebody should spend £20-£40 on it.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- You reckon?- Yeah.- £30 paid.- OK.
0:28:54 > 0:29:00And their last item is this truly delightful so-called apprentice piece, miniature chest.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01I think it's a great-looking thing.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- I'm not sure whether it's olive or yew.- Or fruit.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Yeah, could be a fruit wood of sorts.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11Very good colour, very well made, a very pretty item
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- that a lot of people are going to want.- Yeah.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17- 75 to 100. That should get them coming in for it.- Great. £60 paid.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21That's it, then. What happens with the girl with her legs in the air
0:29:21 > 0:29:24will determine whether they need their bonus buy or not
0:29:24 > 0:29:25and here it comes.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Now, Kerry and John, this is the bonus buy moment.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33You spent that miserable £99. I can't believe that. It's a disgrace.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37£201 went to Nicholas Hall and I'm going to help you here, Nick.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- One, two, three, flash!- Da-der!
0:29:39 > 0:29:41What about that?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- Wow.- Mm.- And a pair, which is always nice.- Nice.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- What do you think? Do you like? - Erm...
0:29:47 > 0:29:49- Convince me.- Convince you.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52OK, mid 19th century, Staffordshire pottery
0:29:52 > 0:29:55and this lovely, rare-ish zebra version.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- Take one, Kerry. - One each.- Let's have a look.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02- What did you pay for these, Nick? - Well, they weren't cheap. I paid 150 for them.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- OK.- There should be a bit of mileage in them.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09They used to make £300 to £400 but in today's market, nearer the 200,
0:30:09 > 0:30:11hopefully.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- OK.- Interesting. - I'm in a minority, aren't I?
0:30:14 > 0:30:18I'm not totally averse to them if they're going to make money.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20- Well, that's the idea or the hope. - Yeah.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22That's it, isn't it? If they make money.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23It will all come clear
0:30:23 > 0:30:26because after the sale of your first three items,
0:30:26 > 0:30:29you'll either have made so much profit on your £99
0:30:29 > 0:30:31that you'll be laughing
0:30:31 > 0:30:34or you'll be struggling and you'll maybe grab these.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36The decision happens then.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38But for the audience at home,
0:30:38 > 0:30:42let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Nick's zebra.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- Giddy up, then, Colin.- Thank you.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- Do you like these? - I think they're a wonderful pair.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Wearing the reverse pinstripes to ourselves.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54- That's good, isn't it?- It is. I think they're good things.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57The problem is that, as you know, the Staffordshire market has changed
0:30:57 > 0:31:01and it's only the finest items that are racing along at big money
0:31:01 > 0:31:07but subjects such as this, I'm confident at 120 to 180, that sort of range.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11Well, Nick paid £150 for his bonus buy.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13He may be just a bit hopeful but you never know.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- Anything could happen, Colin.- Mm.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20Completely different taste.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24First up is another of these revolting West German vases.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Yes. It always intrigues me when these come in.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31The problem is, I can remember when I started as an auctioneer,
0:31:31 > 0:31:35vases like that not selling at all and ending up on the skip.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- Yes.- So now it seems strange that we're lotting it as a separate lot.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43Quite. I quite agree. But I'm happy to move with the times.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- We're out there at the cutting edge, aren't we?- Yeah.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49The cutting edge of fine art auctioneering means
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- that that now holds an estimate of £30 to £50.- That's brilliant.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54£35 is paid.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58Next, the oriental lamp, which is a handsome fellow.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- Yeah. Not particularly old.- No.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05But it's a perfectly good decorator's piece.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- What sort of money did they pay for this one?- They paid £55.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11OK. I think that stands a bit of a chance.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13We've put a lowly estimate on of £20-£30
0:32:13 > 0:32:17because anybody looking at that with that estimate is likely to bid.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- It might struggle up to 55. - Yeah. It stands a chance.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- Next, is the Birmingham picture frame.- Mm-hm.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- Titchy, isn't it?- It is very small.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27These always sell well in our sale rooms
0:32:27 > 0:32:32and so we've put an estimate of £40-£60, which I'm reasonably confident about.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- Very good. £35 paid. - That looks good.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37So, all round, unlikely to need their bonus buy
0:32:37 > 0:32:39but let's have a look at it anyway.
0:32:40 > 0:32:47Now, Val and Keith, you spent £125 and you gave David Harper £175
0:32:47 > 0:32:48to blow on your behalf.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50- Thanks for the build-up. - Not at all.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53We're all excited to see what you've gone out and spent the 175 on.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56I hope you're not too disappointed. Ready?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59- Oh, wow.- Ah!- That's different.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- What is it?- I know what it is - it's a shortbread tin.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10- Yes, it is!- You got it.- I think I've thrown a few of these away, David.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14Good and I'm so pleased you have. That's why the remaining ones are valuable.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Turn it over or look at the side and read the name.
0:33:17 > 0:33:23- Huntley and Palmers.- Very well-known, famous biscuit makers
0:33:23 > 0:33:25but just as famous for their tins.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29- There are collectors out there looking for those tins.- Really?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31- Let's cut to the chase, David.- Yeah.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33How much did you spend on this old tin?
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- How much would you spend? - Not £175, I hope.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- You might be surprised. - 50p?- A tenner.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- A tenner.- Oh, wow. You were done.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Probably.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47It could double its money
0:33:47 > 0:33:50and if you make 100% on anything, you're doing very well.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- It might just make 20 quid. - Treasure that thought.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58Meanwhile, for the audience, let's see what the auctioneer thinks of Dave's old tin.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- OK, Colin. That takes the biscuit. - Very nice, too.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Always popular, biscuit tins, at auction.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Yeah. I understand the old ones, the novelty ones,
0:34:07 > 0:34:15but that was such a bog standard biscuit tin from 1955 to 1965
0:34:15 > 0:34:17or whatever its dates are, I just can't believe
0:34:17 > 0:34:20- that somebody's going to invest in that.- Well, they do.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- All right, then. How much for it? - £10 to £20.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Fair enough. £10 paid by David Harper.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Who knows? He could be absolutely right.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- Now, are you going to be taking today's sale?- I am indeed.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Ah, we're in safe hands.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- All right? Happy?- Definitely.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46You should be happy, too. Look, nice crowded sale room,
0:34:46 > 0:34:50very proficient auctioneer, everything going down your gutter.
0:34:50 > 0:34:55Anyway, first up is the turquoise glass and here it comes.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Lot number 50, then, is an Italian blue globular vase,
0:34:58 > 0:34:59circa 1950.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03Who's going to start me at £50? £30, anybody?
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- £30?- Come on.- £20?- Come on, come on.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08£20 bid. At £20. 2 now, then?
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- Instant profit.- In at 20. - Fantastic.
0:35:12 > 0:35:1422. 25 now? You sure? Yeah, 25.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16£25.
0:35:17 > 0:35:18Result.
0:35:18 > 0:35:2130 now do I see? 28 bid. 30 now anywhere else?
0:35:21 > 0:35:24We're done and selling at £28.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27That's marvellous, that is. That's plus £19.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30That's very good, isn't it? Now for the ashtray.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32There we go, then, lot number 51.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35I may be some time watching this one.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40Lot number 51. The Continental porcelain novelty ashtray.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- Who's going to start me at what, £50?- Come on.- Go on.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44£30.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47- 20.- Come on.- Is that all?
0:35:49 > 0:35:5110?
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Avert your eyes and bid me five.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57£5 bid. At 5. Eight anywhere else? Eight on the net.
0:35:57 > 0:36:0010 in the room. 12 bid? No. That was short-lived.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02This is hard work. 12 on the net. 12 bid.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- 15 now? 15 bid. - Yes!- It's getting there.
0:36:05 > 0:36:10At £15. We're in the room and selling. All done at £15.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13That's minus £15, which means overall you're plus four.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- You're still in profit.- Well, yeah.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Now, the apprentice chest.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22There we go. The early 20th century yew or olive apprentice chest.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Who's going to start me at what, £50 for it?
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- 50? £30 to go, then. £30, anybody? - Oh, dear.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30- Does anybody want it? 20.- Come on. - Surely not?
0:36:30 > 0:36:3320 bid. 25 bid. 30. Let's get on. At 30 bid. Five. Bid 40.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. - 45, no?
0:36:36 > 0:36:40- £40 at the back. At 40. Five anywhere else? - I can't believe that.- Gosh.
0:36:40 > 0:36:4250 bid. 50. 55.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Bid 60? 60 bid. No? - Go on!- One more.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Going, this time. All done and finished at £55.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- I can't bear it.- That's a shame. - £55. That's minus £5,
0:36:53 > 0:36:57- which means overall you're minus £1. - Ah! After all that hard work.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58That is ridiculous, isn't it?
0:36:58 > 0:37:02So what are you going to do? Are you going to ring-fence minus £1
0:37:02 > 0:37:04- or risk it on these zebra? - What are you thinking?
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- We've made a loss. Nothing to lose, so...- Yeah, go on, then.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- We're trusting you. - Don't go looking at me.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14Things are so up in the air at the moment. The prices are all over the place.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16We're not taking anything home anyway, so let's do it.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- Just your pride.- Yeah. That went a long time ago.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23They are going with the zebra and here they come.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Lot 56. A pair of 19th century Staffordshire pottery,
0:37:26 > 0:37:29flat-backed figures of zebra, this time.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31£100, anybody? 100.
0:37:31 > 0:37:3480? £80.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Oh, dear.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40£50. Go on, you know you need them, sir.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- £50. 50 on the net.- They're going.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46At 50. 55. 60 now, do I see? At 60.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47Five anywhere else now? 65.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49£70 there, surely?
0:37:49 > 0:37:54- 70.- It's still a long way off. A long way off.
0:37:54 > 0:37:5780, 85, 90, now.
0:37:57 > 0:38:0090? Are we all done and finished? At 85. It's the last call.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Hovering again. 90.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- There you go, you see. - A little bit more.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09I've no more here. 90 bid. Any more, then? Going this time at £90.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- That was the gamble, wasn't it? - Yeah. Minus £60 on that item,
0:38:12 > 0:38:15which means overall, you're minus 61.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18OK, the big thing here is don't tell the Blues a thing, right?
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Not a shtoom. Not a shtoom. Not even a shtoom.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- So, Val, Keith, you been talking to the Red team at all?- No.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- You don't know how they've got on? - No.- That's just as well. Good.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42First up is your West German lava vase and here it comes.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47Lot number 71 is a 1960s West German fat lava vase.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Who'll give me £50 for it? £50, anybody? 50.
0:38:49 > 0:38:5140 to go then, surely. £40, anybody? 40.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- Come on. 40?- Come on.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- 30?- Anybody, take a bid.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- OK, let's start it at a fiver. - Oh, no.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- A fiver, anybody?- That's ridiculous.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Five bid. Six now, surely? Six do I see? Six. Beat me to it.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08At six, seven, eight. Nine.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Ten. 12, may I be so bold?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- 12 bid. 14, bid.- Ah, now we've got the serious stuff.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18At 14. 15 now? At 14. All done and finished and going then.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21- 15 on the internet. - Oh, the internet.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23The Germans have come back.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Last call. Going on the net at £15.
0:39:25 > 0:39:30I'm just going to presume that the buyer has only got a black and white screen.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- No taste.- Colin's right.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Minus 20. Minus £20. Bad luck, team.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Now, here comes the Mandarin lamp.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Who's going to start me at £50 for it? 30 to go then, surely?
0:39:42 > 0:39:4430? £20, anybody?
0:39:44 > 0:39:45- 20? 10.- Oh, come on.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49Thank you. 10 bid. 15. Let's get on. 15 now surely.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51A good sizeable lamp, this. 15 now do I see?
0:39:51 > 0:39:53- 15 bid. 20 bid.- Come on.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- 22, if you like.- Get it away.
0:39:55 > 0:39:5722 do I see? 22 bid.
0:39:57 > 0:39:5925 bid. 28 now? 28 bid, surely? No.
0:39:59 > 0:40:0325. Are we all done at 25? Last call at £25.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08£25? You are minus £30 on that, right?
0:40:08 > 0:40:11- Overall, then, it's not looking so hot.- It's not good.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13- Minus 50.- Here's the picture frame.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17Very pretty little easel frame, this one. Lot number 73.
0:40:17 > 0:40:1940? 30 to go, then, surely? £30, anybody?
0:40:19 > 0:40:21- 30?- Oh, come on.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25£20 bid. At 20. And two, now? 22 bid. Five now do I see? Five bid.
0:40:25 > 0:40:2828? 28 bid. 30 do I see? 30 bid. And two. 32 bid.
0:40:28 > 0:40:3035? At 35. 8 do I see?
0:40:30 > 0:40:34At 35. Last call, then. Going at £35.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36- Oh!- £35, you've wiped your face. - We broke even.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40- No shame in that, David. - We'd better go for the bonus buy.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Overall, you're minus 50, kids,
0:40:43 > 0:40:46so what are we going to do about this much-mocked tin?
0:40:46 > 0:40:49I think we're going to have to put our money on the tin.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- Yes. We trust David.- Really?- You're going to can it, are you?- Yes.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55He can't do any worse than us, can he?
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Well, OK, fine. We're going with the tin and here it comes.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Lot number 77 is a Huntley and Palmers biscuit tin.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05£20 for it. 20? Ten to go.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- Ten. £10.- Go on.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10- £5.- No.- No!
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Five bid. Six now do I see? Five bid.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Six bid. Seven now do I see?
0:41:14 > 0:41:16- Seven?- Come on. Another one.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- Yes!- Eight now do I see?
0:41:19 > 0:41:21£8 bid. Thank you. Eight bid. Nine now do I see?
0:41:21 > 0:41:26At £8. Gentleman in the third row really does take the biscuit.
0:41:28 > 0:41:33That's minus £2. You kept up the record. A minus score on every item.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37- We've done really well. - So overall, you are minus £52.
0:41:37 > 0:41:42Best thing to do is not to discuss a thing with the Reds.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46You haven't said, "That could be a winning score."
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Did you say, "That could be a winning score"?
0:41:48 > 0:41:50It could be a winning score.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Don't talk to the Reds.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Well, well, well, well, well, what fun this is.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Lincoln Cathedral - what could be more beautiful?
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- You teams been talking to one another?- No.- Not a word.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13- Not a word.- Not a word.- Jolly good.
0:42:13 > 0:42:14You won't know, then,
0:42:14 > 0:42:18that there's only £9 between our teams today.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21And sadly, the runners up today are...
0:42:21 > 0:42:23the Reds.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Look at that. That man is so pleased.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33Well you might laugh, you Blues, let me tell you,
0:42:33 > 0:42:36but these people were streaks ahead of you
0:42:36 > 0:42:39until they did the bonus buy lark
0:42:39 > 0:42:43and they got belted up with some wretched zebra
0:42:43 > 0:42:47- which shafted you, didn't it? - Just a little.- Just a little.
0:42:47 > 0:42:52Morally, you are the victors today but actually, you're the runners up
0:42:52 > 0:42:54and the victors are, of course, the Blues.
0:42:54 > 0:42:59- We whopped them.- You whopped them by only managing to lose £52.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Oh, dear.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Nevertheless, you are the victors today
0:43:03 > 0:43:05and I hope you've had a nice time.
