0:00:04 > 0:00:07Welcome, everyone. Are you ready for an antiques fair,
0:00:07 > 0:00:10£300 and just an hour to spend it in?
0:00:10 > 0:00:14If you are, let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:42 > 0:00:47Today, we're letting our teams loose at Wetherby Racecourse,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49at the Jaguar Antiques Fair.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54With over 400 stalls to choose from, they may be spoiled for choice.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59But will they spend their funds wisely? Let's take a sneak preview.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01The Reds prepare for action.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Bit of Dad's Army! It's more like Benny Hill!
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Leaving the Blues running for cover.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11And the tension builds for the Reds.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Your bid.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Let's meet the teams.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22So, Ruth and Heather, how did you meet?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Well, about eight years ago, Heather moved up from Cornwall
0:01:25 > 0:01:27to live opposite me on the same street.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30We had a lot in common, we've been friends ever since.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31You found your way to Yorkshire OK?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Yeah. And then we've got kids of a similar age.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36They go to school together.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39You know - kids help you with your social events, don't they?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- They're great mixers.- They are. - Children are the mixers.- Yeah.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45You do a bit of dressing up, I gather.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Just a bit. It's only a rumour, it's not too much.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50We've got about over 100 costumes.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- And do you do this for fun, or charity, or what is it?- Both.- Both.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57We enjoy it, and everything that we make from it, we give to charity.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59So it's an all-round winner.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01What about work? You don't work together?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Sometimes, yes, we do.- Oh, lordy!
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Yeah.- So what sort of job have you got, then, Ruth?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10I'm a supply teacher, so I used to work at different schools.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12But since Heather worked for that school,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I wheedled myself in. So I'm working there now. It's a great school.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18I'm expecting you to put up a fight today.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- Oh, definitely. Yep, definitely. - That's a bit of a pose.- Yeah.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27- Why would that be, then?- Well, we're boxing tutors.- You're not!
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Not kick boxing. - You don't do kick boxing?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31These legs are not made for kicking.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33You'd have to be close for them to make contact!
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So tell me about the boxing, then. That's another talent.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Yes, it is, yes. - What got you into that, you two?
0:02:39 > 0:02:43We went to a keep-fit class run by a boxer, which was good. We enjoyed it.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Heather got made redundant, so we thought, "See if we can make a business of it."
0:02:47 > 0:02:50So we took our training, ran some classes for a while and had a good time.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55My gosh! Well, God help the stall holders, that's all I can say!
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- You take it gently with them. - We will!- Some of them aren't up for that!
0:02:59 > 0:03:01That's amazing. There we go. Now, Mike and Karen.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Are you scared?- We're scared!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Scared!- I'm already scared!
0:03:06 > 0:03:10So, Mike, how is it that a great, thumping Texan like you
0:03:10 > 0:03:13got to get around a nice Yorkshire lass like Karen?
0:03:13 > 0:03:17We met in London. A friend of mine was a hairdresser.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Karen went to get her hair done at his shop. She talked about...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- She was a nanny then.- Yeah. - A Yorkshire lass that was a nanny down in London.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27And he talked about where she'd been,
0:03:27 > 0:03:30and she said she'd been to America and to Florida.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I used to live in Florida. There was a connection.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35And he said, "Well, why don't you give me your number,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38"and my friend'll contact you?" And I sure did.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Well, that was your lucky day. - It was my luckiest day.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43But what were you doing in Britain anyway?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Working for the US Navy. In London.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- And do you get to work together now? - We do get to work together.- Yeah?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Mike's very part-time.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55We both manage a shop in Haworth. And he comes in at...
0:03:55 > 0:03:58What sort of things do you sell?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01We sell all sorts of beautiful bath products.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05We make a lot of our own salves, and we make all our own bath salts.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- And soaps, and...- Aromatherapy?
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Aromatherapy oils, and creams for all sorts of little ailments.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Lovely. I thought there was a nice smell coming from the Blue Team!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- Thank you.- No, that's good fun.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23So what are your tactics going to be to take on our boxing teachers on this team?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25They're a tough team. This could be hard to beat.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- Yeah. But you know what? We're going to do it.- Are you going to do it?- We're going to do it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- We're a fighting couple, we are determined.- I love it!
0:04:32 > 0:04:37Anyway, now the money moment. Here we go. Look, £300. £300 apiece.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41You know the rules. You experts await, and off you go! And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Where EVER do they get these teams from?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46With all this fighting talk,
0:04:46 > 0:04:50we need two experts prepared to slug it out.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54In the ring for the Reds is Paul "The Hook" Laidlaw.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57And punching above his weight for the Blues
0:04:57 > 0:04:59is Thomas "Twinkle Toes" Plant.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Heather, Ruth, what sort of a mission are we on today, tell me?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Big bargains, baby!
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Thinking what people at the auction will be looking for, what they might buy.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- We'll know it when we see it. - It will slap us in the face.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- Are you ready?- We are ready. - Let's go.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Let's go get slapped in the face with a bargain.- Come on.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23So in you go. In you go, have a good look.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Ooh, I'm liking this.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- What is this?- I don't know what that is, looks like a gauge. - Calendar.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I would have said it was some kind of calendar thing.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43- No, I'm not really... - No? Move on, it's early days.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44We can come back.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Look for more stuff.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Look for more stuff, we've seen good things but carry on looking.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Down at this end, keep on looking.- OK.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- This is nice. Look at that! - You like that, do you?- That is neat.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Nice basket, good basket, basket and cover.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- A lot of work's gone into that, hasn't it?- Where would that be from?
0:06:08 > 0:06:13Um... It's probably African looking at all the other stuff.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- STALLHOLDER:- It's East African. Kikuyu.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Kikuyu.- Kikuyu.- It's interesting how they look very similar
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- to the American Indian style. - Absolutely.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Is it priceless?- Is it priceless? It is priceless.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28That's a good thing, it is priceless.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- What's your best on that one? - 65.
0:06:32 > 0:06:3460?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Could you do any more? To help us on our way?- We've got to resell it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- To be the winning team.- I'll do you 50, but I'm not going any lower.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Do you want to go for our first item?- I'll go for it.
0:06:45 > 0:06:4745 and it's ours.
0:06:48 > 0:06:55- She's shaking her head.- She's shaking her head in disgust! 50, OK.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- WOMAN:- It's still a good buy.- Go on!
0:06:58 > 0:07:00You'll get 45 then.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Yeah.- Go on, 45, then.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Well done, sir.- Thank you.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09'At £45, it's one in the basket for the Blues, but what about the Reds?'
0:07:09 > 0:07:16- Ooh, now.- What do you think? With a matching jacket, eh, eh?
0:07:16 > 0:07:17What you seeing?
0:07:17 > 0:07:22- Useful and stylish. - I'm loving the stylish.- Yes.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Blue's your colour, apart from today. Red's the winning colour.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Let me have a look at what we're looking at.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30As you know, Paul, we are a fan of costumes.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Well, I'm good with that and I understand military and so on.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- Voluntary Aid Detachment, OK? - Yeah.- Mm-hm.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43They supported medical services during the war.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46But they also did so in the 1950s.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50If this blouse has a wartime label, it's a valuable, attractive thing.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- If it's a Cold War period piece, its day is yet to come.- Right.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Blouse, civil defence, ARP pattern 57. 1958, too new.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Ah, it's post-war, isn't it?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05The Mark Two steel helmet, that will be Second World War production,
0:08:05 > 0:08:06no trouble with that.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09It was originally finished in khaki for the army.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Then overpainted white with this Red Cross.- We love it.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- I like that, that's not a bad thing. - I'm ex-military, I like these things.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Ex-military, eh? Just how tough are these girls?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Hi there, how you doing?- All right.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Your VAD blouse, is the helmet part of it?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Yes, there's trousers as well.- Ooh!
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- 38 on the group? - On the whole lot, yeah.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37But it could be...?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- 30.- Could it?- Could it?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42What about 28, my lover, seeing as the sun's shining so nice.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44She's in like a whippet, what?
0:08:44 > 0:08:50An ex-military lady. As an ex-RAF lady myself, I'm really liking this.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- 28.- You know you're a love. - Do you think that's worth going for?
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Well, you struck a deal.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58It doesn't matter what I think now, you've got to thank the guy!
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- That was a good buy. Thank you very much.- Cheers, my love. - Thank you very much.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Bit of Dad's Army. More like Benny Hill.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11I'm not so sure we are a good idea - Heather, Ruth and I.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14There's too much madness in that team.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22It's borderline hilarity. That's great, I'm having a real ball.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25And the spirit is just great, I'm loving it.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32I like this. As a Chinese work of art, I think that's rather good.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- Enamel.- Cloisonne, it's called. - Oh, it IS Cloisonne?- Yeah.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40It's very fine bits of copper wire and the enamel
0:09:40 > 0:09:43is laid in in the cells and it's fired and then polished.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46What's nice about this is it's a jardiniere, which you put a plant pot in.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51- But would it have had a top? - No, it's for your aspidistra.- OK.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Or your orchid or whatever you want to put in here,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57you put your plant pot in there. And I love these roundels.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00This is the Chinese myth of the dragon
0:10:00 > 0:10:02and this is the flaming pearl of life.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04And the dragon chases the pearl.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08It's in good condition, this. It is in good condition.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12It's something that's worth considering. Yes, the price is £110.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16We'll have a conversation, but that is an £80 to £100 piece at auction.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- It's a good thing.- Very appealing. It's pleasing to the eye.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23It is, I love it. What's the best on this one?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- 95.- Yeah, so it's worth considering.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Just... Cos we've only started shopping
0:10:29 > 0:10:31and you've already bought one item, I'm quite impressed.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34That is something which I just wanted to point out to you.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Yes, it is nice.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40If you like it, then why don't you buy it? Come on, Blues.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44I can feel some indecision setting in.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I think that's a pretty little box but it's plain.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49That cushion form, fair enough.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52What's this little golf scratcher thing here?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56That's not a bad spot, I missed that.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- It is a silver cocktail swizzler. - We all need a swizzler.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Don't we just? We don't like too many bubbles in our shampoo.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Golfers are collectors of their memorabilia, aren't they?
0:11:06 > 0:11:07That's what does this for me.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10There's a lot of golfers near the auction.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- I should like to have a look at that. Shall we ask?- Yes, let's ask.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- How are you doing? May we? - Of course you can.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- A few wee bits and bobs. - Help yourself.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21You're a good man, thanks for that. See what happens?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Golf club terminal.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28- Golf ball.- Yeah, we like it. - That's charming.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31In a golfing sale, I think it could make £100.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33But this ain't going to a golfing sale.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36That would be all the money. 30-50.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Yeah, I'll see what he can do us for it.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41It's a novelty. I would ask the price. Why don't you go for that?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Bat your eyelids, beg, cry, do what it takes.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48'Scuse me, young man. You're looking very gorgeous today.
0:11:48 > 0:11:55- Knocked a tenner off already.- And I'm admiring your legs, as well!- 20!
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- What's the price on this? - 45 on that.- 45.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- What you think on that, Paul? 45. - I need half that, and some.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03I could do it for 35, that'll be it.
0:12:03 > 0:12:09(He can't really hear me. Get it for 30.)
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- I was also admiring the way he stands.- Everybody should be happy!
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Go on, my son.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I couldn't do 30, cos I wouldn't make owt on it. I could do 33.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- What do you think?- I think he's...
0:12:23 > 0:12:25(I would stick to your guns.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27(So will I!)
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Whose gun's bigger, baby?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32You seen the size of the man?!
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Oh, I like a challenge!
0:12:34 > 0:12:37You get him sorted. Lay into him.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Did we tell you we're boxers? - Let's go for the gentle touch.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44I've got a black belt. 35.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- It's gone up! It's gone up!- 33.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Oh, go on. Shall we have it? - I think we should, Paul.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- You're done. Cheers, my lovely. - Thanks for that.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Nice thing. Thank you!
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I weren't lying, you've got a cracking pair of legs!
0:13:03 > 0:13:05£33? Well done, girls.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09A charm offensive. Shaken, not stirred.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I bet when you got up, you had a plan as to what you'd do today.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Well, the funny thing about this Bargain Hunt lark
0:13:15 > 0:13:18is that you just can't plan what you're going to see
0:13:18 > 0:13:22on a day out like this, shopping at the antiques fair.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Look what I've found.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28What is it? Well, it's a kind of curlicue of mahogany.
0:13:28 > 0:13:34Dense, solid, beautiful, at least mid-19th-century
0:13:34 > 0:13:39block of mahogany that's been carved out of a single lump,
0:13:39 > 0:13:43with this lovely, almost ammonite shape.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46What might it have been used for?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Well, if I turn it and hold it this way round,
0:13:49 > 0:13:51and I angle it like that,
0:13:51 > 0:13:55and you have a look at this cut end, you begin to get the picture.
0:13:55 > 0:14:01Because that surface is intended to be spliced
0:14:01 > 0:14:03onto a long length of mahogany.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07The angle would probably be something like that.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09And yes, you've got it.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13It's the end of a Victorian mahogany handrail.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16The banisters and slats would sit underneath,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19and the solid handrail would sit on the top.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23It's a scrap. It's a bit of salvage.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25But, for me, it's exciting.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Largely because the quality of the timber is so incredibly high,
0:14:29 > 0:14:32and it's most beautifully carved.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33What would it cost you?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Try £8 on for size.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Now THAT is what I call a bargain!
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Meanwhile, it's round two of the shopping.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Let's see how our teams are doing.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48So, we're halfway through now. We've already got one item.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51I think it's a strong item. We've seen plenty of things.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- What do you guys feel?- I think we're doing well so far.- Yeah.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I think if we can get something in the next ten minutes,
0:14:57 > 0:14:59we'll be really ahead of the game.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Then we settle down and relax for the third item.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- There's no relaxing, OK? Come on, in you go.- All right - get in!
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Are we panicking yet?- Not yet, no. You can't have your stool just yet.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11No, we may give in at the end. We'll see how things go.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- The stool will be gone. You'll regret it!- Paul! Onwards, upwards!
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- You want them to be kind of... - Ivory, silver?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Canes do quite well - unusual ones.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30- That's a fairly common one.- You're looking for tips, aren't you, too?
0:15:30 > 0:15:34- Silver marks.- Are you a bit of a cane collector?- I've got a few.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I don't really collect, but I do have a few.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Between either of those.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- I like the face.- You'd go with the face.- I think he's sweet.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- OK.- You know, I love that. - Different and unique, yeah.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I think that's great. It's a lovely thing.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48But I also like this one as a...
0:15:48 > 0:15:50As also with the interest of that one.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52So we can ask about them both.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- Yep, OK. - Why is that all wobbly, et cetera.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- It's got weight to it, hasn't it? - That would get you to bring in...- Yeah.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00What do you know about these two here?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04This one is what's called a defensive stick.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06It's pretty wobbly, isn't it?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09It's the type of thing that a traditional rent collector
0:16:09 > 0:16:11would have carried 100 years ago
0:16:11 > 0:16:14for warding off people.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- It's not much good as a walking stick!- No.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- If he was a rent collector...- Yeah.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21he would go and knock on the door, "Where's my rent?"
0:16:21 > 0:16:24And if he said no, he could give them a good whack with this.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- SELLER LAUGHS - This is not vertebrae?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30No, it's leather washers with a steel rod down the centre.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33It has quite a bit of weight to it, hasn't it?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35That would have a spring and a whack to it, as well.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39It's a bit like one of these modern policeman's batons, probably.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Same idea. What about this one here?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43This is a little country piece
0:16:43 > 0:16:44that somebody has made.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47They've seen a bird's head in there and put eyes...
0:16:47 > 0:16:51What sort of age would these be?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53This one's about 100 years old, probably.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Um...I'm not sure about this.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57This could be anywhere from
0:16:57 > 0:17:001900-1950, I would have thought.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04OK. Now, what kind of price will be your best price?
0:17:04 > 0:17:05£100.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08£100 for two sticks?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- Oh.- It's tempting.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Something to consider.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Have a look around the rest of the stand.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16We are running out of time.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18There are other things to look at.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- I really think one should have a good look.- We'll keep lookin'.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Yeah, I think so.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27The minutes tick by and you're making up your mind.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29We got a lot more we'd like to see.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32We thought we'd get through this much faster.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34We've only got 15 minutes left, we've got one item.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37We've seen plenty of things, there's plenty to go on...
0:17:37 > 0:17:39but are they going to make the decision?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41I mean, we've really got to get a wriggle on.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- I've seen something...- Ooh!- Argh...
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Not sure?- It's a maybe.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Let's go and have a look and see if we can make a decision.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07We're looking everywhere, and we're running out of time,
0:18:07 > 0:18:09we'd better make a decision.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10You've ran out of time!
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- The canes, let's go for the canes. - Let's do that.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Yeah, OK.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I think you're going to hate these, but I don't know.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20They're looking like beer kegs.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Anything to do with beer, we're liking.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24When they scrapped
0:18:24 > 0:18:26the great battleships of the fleet...
0:18:26 > 0:18:27You're talking military.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30..they salvaged the teak from the decking.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- And they made souvenirs from them.- Right.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Commonly, we get silly little things like match pots.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Less commonly we get more substantial pieces
0:18:40 > 0:18:42like book ends.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Incorporating, I guess, match pots.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47But...just to seal it,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50it does what it says on the barrel.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53From the teak of HMS Iron Duke - a dreadnought -
0:18:53 > 0:18:54fabulous stuff.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Admiral Jellicoe, a commander for the Northern Fleet, I believe.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Jutland - the only encounter between the Royal Navy
0:19:02 > 0:19:04and the German Imperial Navy
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- during the First World War. - Oh, I like it.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09What kind of price is on that?
0:19:09 > 0:19:12The best price on these is £25, ladies.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15My opinion, they're enough money at £25.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Yeah.- What's your best price, my love?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I'll give you a bargain, £15.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22What do we think? Shall we have it?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- I would say yes, but it's up to Paul.- It's not up to me.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27It's absolutely not up to me.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28That's £7.50 apiece.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30That's a bargain. Yeah.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Sold!- Thank you.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33You're a star, thanks very much.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Good luck in the auction. - Thanks, my love. Brilliant.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Well done.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I'm going to collapse, what do you think of a lolly?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- Come on!- Let's go for it.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46It ends with book ends. And the Reds go off
0:19:46 > 0:19:48to enjoy an nice ice lolly.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51But it's panic stations for the indecisive Blues.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Minutes to go and two items to buy.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Are you going to go and do the deal?- Yep.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57You're going to converse?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59So, we've got...
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Where are they, where are they?
0:20:01 > 0:20:02- They're here.- And that one there.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Great. OK.- Go, Mike.- Go, Mike.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08OK, we're running out of time so we are making a decision.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Right. - We're running out of money too.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Could you do both for £80 and we'll take them now?
0:20:13 > 0:20:14- No.- Oh!
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I could do £90, but £80's coming down too much.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- OK.- Done.- Done.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20- All right.- Thank you, sir.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- That's brilliant news, well done, you!- Yes!
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- Very good!- Well done, Mike, that's your second item.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Now you've got five minutes to get your third.- It's a long run!
0:20:29 > 0:20:32We've run out of time so we'll go for that other one.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34You're going to go for that other one?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36The jardiniere.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Run! Let's hope it hasn't sold.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- As long as we're there!- Don't worry.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41OK.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44OK, we've got this one.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- OK, we should have bought this... - Earlier!
0:20:47 > 0:20:48..40 minutes ago.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51And we didn't. So, best price for this?
0:20:53 > 0:20:54- Could you do £70?- No.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Don't mention a figure! Ask.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58What could you do?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00There has to be a certain profit margin.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- Did we said £90, or £95 last time? - KAREN: I thought you said £85.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05- You said £85.- Did we?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Well, that's it then.- OK.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09£80, we'll take it.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11£85, she says...
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Go on, give me £80! - Two items, come on!
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Yes, we have got two!- We got to win! - You're going to argue for a fiver?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18No, I won't argue for a fiver.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- £80, then.- See, your husband...
0:21:21 > 0:21:22He's too soft.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- He's not! We love him! Thank you. - Cheers, mate.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- Thank you very much.- You're welcome. - Thank you.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I am sweating here.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- Well done, with minutes to spare, seconds.- Seconds.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Third item. Give that back to the nice guy.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Let's go and get a cool drink. - All the ice we can get.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- All the ice we can get. - Let's go.- Let's go.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Time's up. Well done, teams.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Let's see what the Red team chose.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51The Reds backed up their fighting talk
0:21:51 > 0:21:53with the civil defence outfit
0:21:53 > 0:21:55and Red Cross steel helmet.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Let's hope they are on par with this golf-themed
0:21:58 > 0:22:01novelty cocktail swizzle stick.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05At £15, the military theme continues
0:22:05 > 0:22:08with these souvenir naval, wooden book ends.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11So, five minutes left, that's quite tight, isn't it?
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Close to the wind, that's us.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Which is your favourite piece, Ruth?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I think probably the uniform because it's more fun
0:22:17 > 0:22:20than the other items and we had a try of that and we liked that.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Yeah, we really liked it. - Is that your favourite too?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Definitely, we zoomed in on that straightaway.- Lovely.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29That was it for us. We didn't even ask Paul if he liked it.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- You did look very fetching in it. - I know that, my love.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- I saw the twinkle in your eye. - You saw the twinkle.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Rumour has it that you didn't spend very much.- No.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40We're a bargain hunters, we don't like to spend too much money.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- How much did you spend? - BOTH: £76
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- HE LAUGHS - £76.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- For three items.- On all three items.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Yeah. I bet you wish you had a wife like that, don't you?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52I can imagine the auctioneer's face from here.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53£224,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56practically everything I gave you earlier.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Spend it wisely.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01It's been a struggle for you today, hasn't it, Paul?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Strictly, today felt like day two of a two-day affair.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07I don't think we were tripping over great things.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09However...I think they did buy well.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12They're tough, aren't they?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- Definitely.- They've definitely got sharp eyes. Anyway, shrewd.- Yes.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- Anyway, good luck, Paul. Good luck, girls.- BOTH: Thank you.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24They paid £45 - wow -
0:23:24 > 0:23:28for the early-20th-century Kenyan basket.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34And they paid £90 for this pair of 19th-century walking sticks.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39And at £80 they roared home
0:23:39 > 0:23:42with this Chinese dragon-design jardiniere.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46You two, you two indecisives.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49What's all this perspiration going on here?
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Perspiration, I detect.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- You two indecisives!- Absolutely! - We did a few laps.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56You certainly did. How much did you spend all round?
0:23:56 > 0:23:57£215.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00That is a mature and thoroughly good amount of money.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01That's what I thought.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03So, can we have £85 from somewhere?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06£85. That's brilliant.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Karen, tell me, which is your favourite piece?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12My favourite piece is going to be the walking sticks.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13That's your favourite?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- That's my favourite. - What about you, Mike?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Ooh, I think the basket, the woven basket.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20That really is... That is...
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Kikuyu.- Kikuyu. That is really neat.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- Your Kikuyu basket...- From Kenya.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28A reasonable amount of money for even you, Thomas.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Get us something good.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31I'm going to be as indecisive as these two.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Please don't! - Spend more than a fiver.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- Does that mean that you're going to take hours?- Months!
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Well, you guys go and relax, have a nice glass of cola.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Meanwhile, we're going to head off to North Yorkshire
0:24:44 > 0:24:45to a stately home,
0:24:45 > 0:24:46how grand is that?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02This is Ormesby Hall in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire.
0:25:02 > 0:25:08It was completed in the 1740s by James and Dorothy Pennyman,
0:25:08 > 0:25:13who supervised every detail of its construction and finishing.
0:25:13 > 0:25:19Indeed, the Pennyman family continued living here for centuries.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Ormesby Hall and estate were passed down
0:25:24 > 0:25:27from one generation of Pennymans to the next.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Until in 1924, Colonel James Pennyman and his wife Ruth
0:25:31 > 0:25:33were the last couple to live here.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35It's only recently
0:25:35 > 0:25:37that we're now able to explore
0:25:37 > 0:25:40the interior of this 18th-century home.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45The south bedroom appears to have been used
0:25:45 > 0:25:48as the principal sleeping chamber
0:25:48 > 0:25:51since the house was built in the 1740s.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Indeed,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55it was occupied as a bedroom
0:25:55 > 0:25:59right up to the very last incumbent of this house,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01a Ruth Pennyman,
0:26:01 > 0:26:06who used to sleep in here until her death in 1983.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11The room contains a number of unusual objects,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13including this four-poster bed, which on the face of it
0:26:13 > 0:26:17looks like a pretty standard,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19early-19th-century mahogany bed,
0:26:19 > 0:26:24except that it has been covered in this red lacquer,
0:26:24 > 0:26:28in imitation of red lacquer on Chinese furniture,
0:26:28 > 0:26:32which was apparently done at a time
0:26:32 > 0:26:36when the room was filled with furniture of that colour.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Her husband, James, also known as Jim Pennyman,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43had a hand in the furnishing of this room
0:26:43 > 0:26:45as we can see in the far corner.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49So, what is the connection between Jim Pennyman
0:26:49 > 0:26:52and these two pieces of furniture?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Well, the answer is charity.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58He was acutely conscious
0:26:58 > 0:27:03of the terrible unemployment in North Yorkshire, in the 1930s,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06and set about to do something about it.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09He established a carpentry business
0:27:09 > 0:27:15that became known as Boosbeck Industries on the estate,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19specifically with the intention of getting unemployed miners
0:27:19 > 0:27:22working, doing something.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26They were taught carpentry and cabinet-making skills.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28I actually rather like
0:27:28 > 0:27:30this polygonal laundry basket.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35It does rather ooze 1930s to you, doesn't it?
0:27:35 > 0:27:38And the green, lathe-back side chair,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41is even marked with a Boosbeck stencil,
0:27:41 > 0:27:42here underneath.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Look, BI for Boosbeck Industries.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47But make note of it
0:27:47 > 0:27:50because you might come across a piece in your travels
0:27:50 > 0:27:52and it'll be quite rare,
0:27:52 > 0:27:55only 400 items apparently having been made
0:27:55 > 0:27:58in the four years that the factory was in production
0:27:58 > 0:28:02between 1933 and 1937.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05What's nice about these pieces
0:28:05 > 0:28:08is that they're sturdy and robust.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10And the big question today is, of course,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13will our teams be likely to make
0:28:13 > 0:28:17any robust profits over at the auction?
0:28:32 > 0:28:37Today we're at Calder Valley Auctioneers with Ian Peace.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Hello, Tim, nice to see you.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Lovely to be here. First up, we've got this
0:28:41 > 0:28:43wacky battledress blouse,
0:28:43 > 0:28:46top job and the steel helmet.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48How do you rate those?
0:28:48 > 0:28:50I wasn't terribly impressed when it came in.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53This isn't really what we normally sell.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57But having said that, for fancy dress it's got some sort of function.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59It'll interest the militaria people.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01How much?
0:29:01 > 0:29:02I put £40 to £60.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06I might be optimistic on that, but I'm going to work at it.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- Good on you. £28 they paid. - Oh, good.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- So it's not so expensive?- No.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Next, is the golf-themed swizzle stick.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Yes, it's fairly recent,
0:29:17 > 0:29:20but it's a golfing theme, which is always popular.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Mm-hm.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24It's a nice little present for a golfer.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26What's your estimate on the swizzle stick?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28£30 to £45, I'd expect.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- That's no swizzle, is it?- No.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- They paid £33, that's very good. - Good.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Next are the book ends.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40Made apparently from wood from HMS Iron Duke. Do you like them?
0:29:40 > 0:29:41I don't like them,
0:29:41 > 0:29:43the design is very Art Deco.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47It's... But I don't like the finish on them,
0:29:47 > 0:29:50but I like the historical...
0:29:50 > 0:29:52attachment to that battle.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- Yes, Jutland, wasn't it?- Yes.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57What do you think they're worth?
0:29:57 > 0:29:59I think they're worth between £30 and £40.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00Great, they paid £15.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Brilliant.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04I think this team will do well,
0:30:04 > 0:30:06but we'll have a look at their bonus buy, anyway.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08So, girls,
0:30:08 > 0:30:11you gave Paul Laidlaw £224,
0:30:11 > 0:30:13a small fortune by anybody's standards.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15I hope you blew the lot. What did you get?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17I bought, ladies,
0:30:17 > 0:30:19- a proper antique.- Ooh!
0:30:19 > 0:30:21THE RED TEAM GASPS
0:30:21 > 0:30:22BOTH: Oh!
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Didn't expect such a strong reaction!
0:30:24 > 0:30:27BOTH: We like it. Open it and show us inside.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29What is it? Do we know what it is?
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Don't know. I like it.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32I adore this word, an etui,
0:30:32 > 0:30:34E-T-U-I, an etui.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36A necessaire,
0:30:36 > 0:30:38a Georgian little holder
0:30:38 > 0:30:41for those little objects
0:30:41 > 0:30:44that we find useful through the day.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46It reveals an interior fitted and containing...
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Look at that little tool, there!
0:30:49 > 0:30:52We have a little bone
0:30:52 > 0:30:55or ivory notepad.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Ladies, do we like or not?
0:30:58 > 0:31:01I'm liking that little pouch-type thing. I like it.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04So what kind of price did you give for this, then?
0:31:04 > 0:31:06I gave £120 for that.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08You're as cheap as us!
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- PAUL LAUGHS - Not quite!
0:31:11 > 0:31:13It's going to do all right.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16We've got an admiration society going on here.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18We do, I do like this. It's a really nice feel to it.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20- Are you happy with that?- Yes.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Have a little ponder, you've had his advice.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Meanwhile, for those at home,
0:31:24 > 0:31:27let's see what the auctioneer thinks about Paul's etui.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30One etui.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32I've always liked these.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36Typically nice being in shagreen,
0:31:36 > 0:31:39in green, it's a Georgian piece
0:31:39 > 0:31:40so there's a lot of history there.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44It's a jolly nice thing. It's just a shame it's not totally complete.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47But it's a very, very lovely piece.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48How much?
0:31:48 > 0:31:49I think £90 to £120,
0:31:49 > 0:31:52it would have been more like £125 to £175,
0:31:52 > 0:31:54or up to £200 if it had been totally complete.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- £125 paid by Paul Laidlaw. - Really? Yeah.- Yes.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- It's got a chance. - If the team decide to go with it.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Anyway, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues, Mike and Karen,
0:32:04 > 0:32:07and their first item
0:32:07 > 0:32:08is the Kikuyu oval basket.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11They're interesting, but there were a lot made.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14They're Kenyan, they're a tribal item.
0:32:14 > 0:32:19They were made for putting corn in, yams, whatever.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21The thing looks clapped-out.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Look at this, it's fraying away here.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25I don't know about this Kikuyu business,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27but anyway, how much?
0:32:27 > 0:32:30I think £20-£40.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Gosh, they paid £45 for it.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Next are the two walking sticks.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Do you rate these?
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Not particularly, no.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40I think that one reminds me of Emu.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44IAN LAUGHS With a glass eye!
0:32:44 > 0:32:45No, it's got character.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48The other one's fairly common,
0:32:48 > 0:32:51you know, bone handle design with a silver mount.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53No, they're nice sticks.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- How much? - Between £50 and £75.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Oh, lordy, they paid £90!
0:32:58 > 0:33:00So that's going to be a bit tough.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04Their last item is the Cloisonne jardiniere,
0:33:04 > 0:33:07which to my eye looks a bit like yesterday's antique.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09It's got a bit of age to it,
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- but unfortunately, they're not good sellers.- No.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Cloisonne's gone right off.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14OK, well, £80 paid.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17So, we've a bad seller in the Cloisonne,
0:33:17 > 0:33:19not a particularly interesting pair of sticks
0:33:19 > 0:33:21and a completely clapped-out basket.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23This is not looking good!
0:33:23 > 0:33:25They're going to need their bonus buy,
0:33:25 > 0:33:27so let's go and have a look at it.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29Mike and Karen,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32here's your left-over lolly. You spent £215,
0:33:32 > 0:33:35£85 went to the lovely Thomas Plant.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Thomas, what did you buy?
0:33:37 > 0:33:38KAREN: Ooh!
0:33:38 > 0:33:42A bit of beautiful Victorian jewellery.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Very, very reasonably priced, made out of Pinchbeck.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50And what's nice about it, it's what we call having a box back,
0:33:50 > 0:33:52to put either a lock of hair
0:33:52 > 0:33:54or a photograph of your loved one in there.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57But a tremendous survivor
0:33:57 > 0:33:59from the Victorian era.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Watch the pin.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02That's cool.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03It's a lovely thing.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05What kind of metal did you say?
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Pinchbeck, so it's a simulant of gold.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09How much do you think?
0:34:11 > 0:34:12£60.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13£40.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- Oh, nice!- Are we going to make a profit on this?
0:34:16 > 0:34:19You should make a profit on it, it's a good-looking object.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21It's a brooch, though.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23And it's jewellery, it seems to be going good?
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Yes, jewellery's quite good, you know?
0:34:25 > 0:34:27You don't pick now, you pick later
0:34:27 > 0:34:30after the sale of your first three items.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Now let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:34:33 > 0:34:34about Thomas's pin brooch.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36There we go,
0:34:36 > 0:34:39a little piece of jewellery from Mr Plant.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- Yeah...- Would you like to handle it?
0:34:42 > 0:34:45It's Pinchbeck, Victorian,
0:34:45 > 0:34:46very typical Victorian.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49A bit too over-fussy in my opinion,
0:34:49 > 0:34:51all that chain business on the side.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Not for me.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55- And it's in shocking state, isn't it?- Yes.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Some of this gilt Pinchbeck looks pretty flashy,
0:34:58 > 0:35:00that looks terribly dull.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02What's it worth, a £10 note?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04No, a bit more, probably £30 to £40.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Well, that's all right.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07Thomas paid £40 for it
0:35:07 > 0:35:10and rates it as a bonus buy.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- Personally, I rather hope the team don't go with it.- Yeah.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14I won't tell them that.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17We'll see what happens in the auction, in a moment.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- You are full of confidence, aren't you?- Yes.- I'm not.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- Are you not, Ruth?- No, I'm slightly nervous about the bonus item,
0:35:31 > 0:35:33but I think we'll go for it anyway.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- You're nervous about...? - The bonus item.- Don't worry.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38First up, is your civil defence blouse,
0:35:38 > 0:35:39helmet and all the rest of it.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Here it comes.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42What am I bid for this lot?
0:35:42 > 0:35:44£15?
0:35:44 > 0:35:45£5?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Five at the back there, it's a start.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48Five, I'm bid.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Someone feeling sorry for us now.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Any advance on £5?
0:35:52 > 0:35:54£7.50 behind you.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56£10.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57£12.50.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Anybody else now at £12.50?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- All done at £12.50.- BOTH: No, no!
0:36:02 > 0:36:03£15?
0:36:03 > 0:36:07£15 bid there. At £15. £17.50.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Oh, come on!
0:36:09 > 0:36:12£17.50 right at the back. At £17.50...
0:36:12 > 0:36:14It's too nice a helmet. Come on!
0:36:14 > 0:36:16CROWD LAUGHS
0:36:16 > 0:36:18£17.50.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22- You were robbed! - They have got such a bargain.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25- They don't appreciate quality in this town.- Minus £10.50.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26Here comes the swizzle.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Any golfers here? £30 shall we say?
0:36:29 > 0:36:30£30, £20.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32- Come on, golfers.- £20 I'm bid.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34£2.50 if you like.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35I have £20.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Any further bids at £20? £22.50, the lady's bid.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39£25, £27.50.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40£30.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- What?!- I've £30 sat down there.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Gentleman's bid of £30.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Have you all done? At £30, then...
0:36:49 > 0:36:51£30 is minus £3.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Oh, no!
0:36:53 > 0:36:56But he has estimated £30 to £45
0:36:56 > 0:36:58on these book ends.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01A bit of history there. Opening £15.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02Thank you, £15.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04£17.50, £20.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05£22.50.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08£25. I have £25 the lady's bid.
0:37:08 > 0:37:09- Come on!- £25, anybody else now?
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Going, the lady there in the middle.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14At £25, are you all done?
0:37:14 > 0:37:19Yes! That is plus £10. Well done, you've broken the duck.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22That mean s that you are £3.50, minus £3.50!
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Now, listen, girls.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27What will you do? You are minus £3.50. There is a decision to make.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- No decision.- We'll go for it. Definitely go for it.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32In for a penny, in for a pound.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34We are not washing up at that curry house.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35We are going to win big.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Paul, we are trusting you.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- In for a penny, out with an etui. - Yes.- Are you going to do it?
0:37:40 > 0:37:43Paul, you can't let us down on this!
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Or you're buying the curries!
0:37:45 > 0:37:47We are going with the bonus buy and here it is.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Interesting lot here and I have two commission bids.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52I need to start this at...
0:37:52 > 0:37:54£120.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56At £120.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- Come to daddy! - At £120, £130, do I see?
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Five, £125. £130.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- At £130.- You're in profit.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05PAUL COUGHS It's cheap!
0:38:05 > 0:38:06At £130.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08At £130.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Any further advances on £130?
0:38:13 > 0:38:14£130, that is perfect,
0:38:14 > 0:38:17because that gives you a profit of £5.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19You were £3.50 down before,
0:38:19 > 0:38:22so you are now, girls,
0:38:22 > 0:38:24up plus £1.50 That...
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- 75p each, bonus(!) - You have done the maths.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20- I mean, that was manna from heaven, wasn't it?- It was.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22But otherwise, there's not much to report.
