0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today, we've got two pairs of friends pitting their wits
0:00:05 > 0:00:07against one another, so who's going to be the aces
0:00:07 > 0:00:10and who's going to be the jokers?
0:00:10 > 0:00:12EVIL LAUGH
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Spooky.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Our good friends today are bargain hunting
0:00:42 > 0:00:46at the Detling antiques and collectors' fair.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49They've got £300 to spend and one hour to do it in.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53The big question is, will they gamble and spend big?
0:00:53 > 0:00:56'Today, it's all about R&R for the Reds.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57'Rest and relaxation.'
0:00:57 > 0:01:02The best way to test a chair is by actually sitting in it.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06'Not for the Blues, though. They just can't stop.'
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Come on! For goodness sakes!
0:01:10 > 0:01:14'But will it be a story of the tortoise and the hare at the auction?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16'Let's meet the teams.'
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Here we are. Hello, everyone.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20ALL: Hello, Tim.
0:01:20 > 0:01:26So, Will and Rob, you're practically inseparable, you two. Why's that?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29We work together, we've been to university together,
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- we've lived together for five years. - Gosh.- Play rugby together.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34What are your plans for the future?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38- I want to be a millionaire by the time I'm 30, actually. - No worries at all, then.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41But how many years have you got to go?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Seven.- Oh, seven. That's quite long enough for you to become a millionaire.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48It's the leisure industry that you're interested in.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50It's where I currently work, yeah.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53So let's hope you make a bob or two at the auction.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58- Fingers crossed.- Might be enough to start your capital base for your new business.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Are you a competitive man, Rob?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I try to be. I play a lot of rugby.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06I've played for county level, three counties level, when I was younger.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10You're not averse to a bit of extreme sports either.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14I want to try to get into skydiving eventually, do some free-falling.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Why do you want to do that, do you think?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19It's just a bit of fun. Why not?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21You only live once.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23What are your team tactics today?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Are you going to spend a lot of money or a small amount of money?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Not too much, hopefully.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Are you going to take the advice of your expert?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33I think we may need it.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38That could be your first mistake. No, no, no. Only joking.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41We'll have fun, right? We'll look forward to it.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Girls, are you quaking in your boots?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Not at all, we're looking forward to it. Absolutely.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Veronica and Jules, how did you first meet?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52We met at the residential special needs school
0:02:52 > 0:02:56that I still work at and discussed music and discovered we both had a lot of music.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58How important is music for you then, V?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- My life.- Is it?- Yes.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04It's my profession but it's also my major hobby.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05I run an a cappella jazz group.
0:03:05 > 0:03:11- Do you?- Yes. I do some arranging - I have done an arrangement which you may hear later on.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Oh! I think there's a bit of a tease coming on here.
0:03:14 > 0:03:20- Now, Jules, you've experienced quite a different type of musical fame, haven't you?- Yes.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22In the '60s, I ran a folk singing club
0:03:22 > 0:03:25and we did have everybody that was on the circuit.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26The Americans, the Brits,
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- and I was the first club to give Paul Simon a booking.- Oh, yes?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33He wasn't known. We were taking a chance.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38You didn't keep his letter of engagement or anything like that?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42No, but he wrote the first two verses of Homeward Bound on his way to our club.
0:03:42 > 0:03:48He'd just left his girlfriend and played the two verses at our club. The song wasn't finished.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52It's actually one of his best-loved and most well known songs,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- I would say.- From that, the man blossomed.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- I didn't quite claim that. - Claim whatever you like, darling.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04That's quite something, isn't it? Anyway, now the money moment. £300 apiece.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Very, very, very good luck.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Goodness gracious me, whatever's going to happen next?
0:04:13 > 0:04:17And who's guiding our teams through this huge fair in Kent?
0:04:17 > 0:04:24Hoping to keep the Reds on track is our expert James Braxton.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28And David Barby is steering a straight line for the Blues.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30If not a straight face.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36So it's time to make hay while the sun shines.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Speaking of which.- I think garden stuff. It's the right time of year.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Look at that. You have the sort of gazebo there.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- It's great with the sun shining. - For £200.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- Something smaller maybe? Please? - There's masses here to look at.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52What I want you to do is fairly quick, scan the stalls
0:04:52 > 0:04:55because we've got nearly 1,000 to look at.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Good advice from Mr Barby. The clock is running.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02David, I saw this pewter...
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Nice little pewter jug. £15.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Not bad price, but I don't think you'll get 10 at auction on that.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- No, I don't.- Don't you? - No, I think we'll lose on it.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Well, I'd give £10 for that.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18- Yeah, well then you'd be losing a fiver, Jules.- Oh Veronica!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Losing a fiver? That's no good. You're after bargains.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Lighting is always sought after,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25although you have to rewire some of it.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29That's quite a nice design. Do you like them or hate them?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I'm unsure myself.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I'm not 100% confident with it.
0:05:35 > 0:05:41- What about that for a fiver? - "When you've finished pouring tea, place the teapot down on me."
0:05:41 > 0:05:45This is lovely. This is made in Torquay.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50It's known as slipware, but also for collectors it's called motto,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52because there's this little comment on it,
0:05:52 > 0:05:56and you get mugs and jugs, and there are collectors of motto ware.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59How much do you think it would actually sell for?
0:05:59 > 0:06:00It could go up to about £15.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04So that would be a profit of only £10.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Yes, but I'd rather have a profit of £10
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- than a loss of five or whatever. - Don't be rude!
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Let's put it back for emergencies, shall we?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I'm sure it'll still be there.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22You've established the parameters now, so no more £10 or £15 pieces.
0:06:22 > 0:06:29- Ooh!- That's the Blues told. Barby wants to spend big. Atta boy!
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Come and have a look here.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- What have you found? - It's a nice pencil.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40We've got sterling silver here. It's got a maker's name.
0:06:40 > 0:06:46But, slightly fascinated by here, 21st June 1918.
0:06:46 > 0:06:52Now I know the Great War ended in 1918, any of you history boys?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- No.- I know it coincides kind of that year and everything.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- I'm sure it was round there. - It was around then, I believe.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I think you'll find it was the 11th November 1918, boys.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I quite like that, actually.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09The nice thing about these pencils is so often they're very small.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11This one's quite big.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14It's quite a nice item and it would have hung down there.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18The best he can do is £35. It's a good item. Good, fat fellow.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Usable, and actually it's serviceable.- OK.- OK, yeah.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27Made when things were made to last slightly longer than they do today.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30It's fab, isn't it? Do you want to go for it, 35?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- Yeah. Let's try it out. You happy with that?- Yeah. Great.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37It's good to get our first one in. Let's go for it.
0:07:37 > 0:07:43- Good. Brilliant.- You've talked these laid-back lads into their first purchase, James. Well done.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Veronica, there's your musical piece.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Yes, but it's the ugliest thing I've ever seen!- Course it's the ugliest thing!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51It's absolutely fantastic, really.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Notes of discord among the Blues.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Where's the harmony? Where's the beautiful music?
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- Ronnie, you're into your music. I've just noticed the quaver earrings. - I am. You're right there.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I'm a professional musician and it's also my big hobby.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08I run a jazz a capella group, and especially for yourself
0:08:08 > 0:08:11and the team I have done a version of the Bargain Hunt theme, a capella.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Just the choir.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17And for the audience at home, this is what it sounds like.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19A CAPELLA THEME TUNE PLAYS
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Mmm, I like the tune.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Not sure about the dancing though. Are they in time?
0:08:29 > 0:08:34There are some peculiar things about, you know. What about this chap?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36What do you make of that?
0:08:36 > 0:08:41Looks a bit like a four-inch shell from an artillery piece, doesn't it?
0:08:41 > 0:08:45I mean, you've got this piece at the top here that's faceted,
0:08:45 > 0:08:52and then it goes into a spiral, just like the end of a screw in a woodworking kit,
0:08:52 > 0:08:57and then you come down to the shaft of it itself, which is solid porcelain.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Well, not solid, it's been thrown on a wheel,
0:09:00 > 0:09:05hence this spiral inside, but only half of it's been properly glazed.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07That's this lower part.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12If you look at the lower part, there's a panel of blue,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14which is stylised foliage,
0:09:14 > 0:09:20then you've got these stylised magnolia pink bits of petaling.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22And then the tricky part starts,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25which is this line of Japanese script.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30Now, I do speak Japanese? Sorry, no, I don't.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33So I can't read what that says.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37And if you said to me, 'what is this used for?' in all honesty,
0:09:37 > 0:09:38I couldn't tell you.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43I do think it's something that was inserted into the ground.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Literally screwed into the ground.
0:09:45 > 0:09:51Not heavyweight clay-type ground, but lightweight sand or loam.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56Having screwed it into the ground, only that piece would protrude,
0:09:56 > 0:10:00and it could be used for any number of purposes.
0:10:00 > 0:10:06You might, in a Zen-type garden, perhaps have a series
0:10:06 > 0:10:10of these vessels inserted into the sandy ground,
0:10:10 > 0:10:17and perhaps put candles or rockets, or even the bases of tent poles.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20How about that? What does the dealer want for this object?
0:10:20 > 0:10:26He hasn't got the faintest idea what it is. £20.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Why not invest the £20 and go off and do the research
0:10:29 > 0:10:32and see what happens, because for a piece of Japanese porcelain
0:10:32 > 0:10:38that is this intriguing, for £20, is not a lot of money.
0:10:38 > 0:10:44Got it? Got it. 'Now, the question is, have the Blues got anything?'
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- What's the price like, dear chap? - 120.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48- 120?- Yes.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- What sort of price is that? - I could do it for 100. It's got 115.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Oh lordy, lordy, lordy lords! - That's a no, then.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- How much is that?- 200.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Ooh, sugarsville! I shouldn't have touched it.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Oh dear, the Blues aren't having much luck.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- I'm starting to get panicky. - Are you really?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- I really am.- No, David, don't panic, darling.- I'm panicking.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Will, what have you got?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- It's a whistle.- Is that what it is?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Is it a whistle? Oh, it's a whistle. Isn't that fun?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I wonder if it's a different-pitched whistle.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22WHISTLE PEEPS
0:11:24 > 0:11:25HE WHISTLES
0:11:26 > 0:11:28DOGS BARK
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I think it's a different-pitched whistle.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I think you've made some new friends here, James. Woof!
0:11:37 > 0:11:40And it looks like David's been let off the leash,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43so the girls can get their photo taken.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Ah. This is hardly the time, is it, David?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Here he is. Hooray! We thought we'd lost you.- We thought you'd gone.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54They want a picture of you, David. Not us, you darling. You're the celebrity.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58What a picture! No, not that one.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Anyway, it's time to snap to it, Blues,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03because the Reds are cracking on.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Good, solid fella. - What do you think, Rob?
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Yeah, I quite like it. It's nice and big.- It's big enough. Got a good weight.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Is there any way of telling where it's come from?
0:12:12 > 0:12:17It has. It looks a mixture between a Grecian oil jar.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22I don't think it's Grecian though, or something Chinese, isn't it?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25It has a sort of oriental look about it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Without knowing the price, I'd estimate that
0:12:28 > 0:12:31somewhere between 40-60, 40-80, that sort of mark.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34It's a big fellow. It's pottery, it's an attractive colour blue.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Yeah, I think it's more Chinese than Grecian, really.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- OK.- It's got the five loopholes. Good weight.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Yes. It's heavy enough.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48If you like it, we'll see what price she wants.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52If it's £100, walk away. If it's 35, buy it.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Let's see what we can do, then.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Right. We've reached that time limit where we said we would spend
0:12:59 > 0:13:02half an hour outside and then we'd go into the marquees.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Come on.- Rock 'n' roll.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Are you into running? Come on, Jules.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12That's it, David, best foot forward old chap. Bossy boots.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17- Time is running out. Now, how's that haggling going? - I'll do it for 50 for you.
0:13:17 > 0:13:2250. You see, that's getting better. We're getting warm.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26I think it's as warm as I'm going to get!
0:13:26 > 0:13:2847. How about 47?
0:13:28 > 0:13:3347. Cor! That's a lot of money you're knocking me, you know.
0:13:33 > 0:13:3648. How's that? 48.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39That sounds very fair. Do you like it?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- Yes, it's nice.- I really like it.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- I like the colour, I like the size of it.- Weight.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- Yeah, the weight's good. - It's a good, sound fellow, isn't it?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51What about these chairs?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Yeah, I like those, Will. They're very nice.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Shall we go and sit down in them?
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Take the weight off.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59They're comfortable.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- They're very comfy, aren't they? - Extremely.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Always the best way to test a chair is by actually sitting in it.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08And James has tested a few in his time!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10But come on chaps, find the bargains.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13The Blues are on the case.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Jules?
0:14:15 > 0:14:16What have we got?
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Oh, yes.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18That's a garment.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21It's a garment. It's silk.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24But this design is called Homemaker.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29- It's a 1950s design.- Right. - And loads and loads of pottery,
0:14:29 > 0:14:32almost as common as willow pattern was produced in the 1950s
0:14:32 > 0:14:35in this pattern. They've got all 1950s shapes here.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Absolutely superb.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- What was the price? - Well, he wanted 30, but he'll come down to 20.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46I would think this is retrospective of the period.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49So I think it was probably made in the '70s or '80s,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51but looking back to the '50s design.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Go on - model it for us, David. - Actually, David, it would fit you!
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- I don't think it's a chap's shirt. - It is, because the buttons are down the left.- That way.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- Oh!- 'Oh dear. Still no decisions.'
0:15:02 > 0:15:04What are we going to do with this?
0:15:04 > 0:15:08I'd leave it for the moment. We really must go and look.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- Well, it's right by the door. - Ask him to put it by.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14'I think the stress is starting to show.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16'He's looking rather windy.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20'And the Reds, they haven't even moved!'
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Are they all sound? Have they got all their various ribs?
0:15:23 > 0:15:29- This appears to have all its various bits, doesn't it?- Yes. - All of them do.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32The seat has all its ribs. This one's in good condition.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36OK, it's been left out a couple of nights,
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- but...- A little bit of damage on this one.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- What is it, just the whipping? - Yes, just the whipping on it.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44That's easily fixed.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47I think there's great glues available these days, isn't there?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51I would suggest, Will and Rob, that you go and see the lovely lady
0:15:51 > 0:15:54and see if you can negotiate a special price for the two,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56so the vase and the four chairs.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58You've got 20 minutes to do a really good haggle.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- Fantastic let's go.- Lovely. - 'Cor, James!
0:16:02 > 0:16:04'Relaxing on the job again!'
0:16:08 > 0:16:13'Now, has David finally found something to win the girls over?'
0:16:15 > 0:16:17All right. Sell it to me, David.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- OK. This is a cartoon character. - Yes.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Very popular during the 1920s. - Right.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25This is porcelain, made in Japan.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28It's a little oddity, but they're quite collectable.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Yes, that's very true. It's definitely a little oddity.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33It's, er, £9.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39'The Blues are making poor David really work hard. What about James?'
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- All right? - I'm getting far too comfortable.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Good news? - It was great.- I think so, yes.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47We got 48 for the vase
0:16:47 > 0:16:50and 48 for the chairs and they threw in the table as well.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52I think that is a very good deal.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- I think that's a great lot for £48, plus the table - another bonus. Well done!- Thank you.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Well done, Will. Well done, Rob.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I think you've got three really fun items.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06'The Reds are done, but the Blues haven't even started. David, what's happening?!'
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- We've reached the stage where we've got 15 minutes.- OK.- OK?- Yes.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12And we haven't made a purchase.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14We haven't looked at anything in here yet...
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Jules, if you start looking at modern reproductions,
0:17:17 > 0:17:19you're not going to make a profit.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22'Tick, tock, tick, tock, time to buy!'
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- You want the shirt? - We'll have the shirt, yes.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27OK. I quite agree with you.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Here's the shirt. Is that £20, sir?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- No, it's 25.- Can you do it at 20? - No, I can't.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Sorry, I misled you. It's £25, not 20.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Could we get a plate thrown in as well, do you think? - No problem at all.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- That would be super. - Thank you very much.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- OK, wonderful.- Yay!- Jules.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- How much are we? Well done.- Thank you very much.- You're wearing it.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- Thank you.- Fabulous... - We've made a purchase!
0:17:55 > 0:17:56HE SCREAMS
0:17:56 > 0:17:59'David IS stressed and they've still got two to buy.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01'James and the Reds though are just chilling.'
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Have you played this before? - It's table skittles.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09'Rubbish!'
0:18:10 > 0:18:11LAUGHTER
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- One.- Poor effort.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15'Only one down. Ha!
0:18:15 > 0:18:18'Just like the Blues, or is that about to change?'
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- What about the Tunbridge box?- 45.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- What do you think? - I think 45 is a good price.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Do you think it will sell for 45 at auction?- No.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- Could you do it for less than 45? - 42.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Could you come under 40?- No.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- There's a little bit of damage. - Damage on the edge. - It needs a bit of polishing.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Do it for 38. You've got me.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44I love it. Personally, for myself, I would buy it
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- without any hesitation.- Jules, this is your buy, do you like it?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49I certainly do. Yes, 38.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- It's a deal. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53But if you make a profit, I shall be very upset.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55LAUGHTER
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- If we don't make a profit, - I- shall be very upset!
0:18:58 > 0:19:01'If you don't get the third item, we'll all be upset.'
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Thank you very much. - Over here.- Cheers.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- It didn't look very promising. - No!
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- LAUGHTER - You did quite well.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21- We have got 30 seconds. 30 seconds. - Oh God! Are we still here?!
0:19:21 > 0:19:24There we are. Can I open the lid, sir?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Hey!
0:19:29 > 0:19:30LAUGHTER
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Little Bonzo.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35'Quick, buy him! Haggle Barbie.'
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- So that's £9, sir. OK. Will you take any less?- Um...
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Will you take eight?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- Um, yes.- You'll take eight pounds? - Yes.- Thank you very much, sir.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Can we have it gift wrapped?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47LAUGHTER
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Are you happy, girls?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Well...
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Ecstatic.- You're ecstatic! - Yes, ecstatic.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- We like to push to the limit. - Talk about panic stations.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- I think- I- deserve a cup of tea. I don't know what you want, gin and tonic?
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- Ooh, sounds good. - Double scotch on the rocks!
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Time's up, guys and girls.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Let's recap on what the Reds spent.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15'The Reds scratched up their first buy with that silver pencil for £35.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20'Then they went for a bit of garden decoration
0:20:20 > 0:20:24'with two buys in one, a pottery vase for £48
0:20:24 > 0:20:29'and to complete the look, they had a leisurely time choosing a set
0:20:29 > 0:20:32'of four cane armchairs with coffee table and a magazine rack
0:20:32 > 0:20:35'thrown in for good measure.'
0:20:35 > 0:20:38It looks like the front row here, doesn't it?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41You're the hooker and two dirty great props.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- So, give us the news. Was it good? - It was great. We got some good buys.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- What did you spend overall?- £131.
0:20:47 > 0:20:54- So I want, I think, £169, don't I? - Yes.- Is that what I need?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58169. Check the maths. Which is your favourite piece?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01My favourite piece is the pencil that we've got.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- The pencil?- Mm-hmm.- Favourite? - I like the blue vase, actually.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Which is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Erm, probably the bonus buy.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12LAUGHTER
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Talking about the bonus buy, what are you going to spend that on, Jimmy?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Something Indian.- There's something to look forward to.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Good luck, boys, James.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26'Well, they raced off, did a few laps of the circuit
0:21:26 > 0:21:28'and after much hand wringing,
0:21:28 > 0:21:32'they plumped for the Homemaker patterned shirt and side plate.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36'In a last-minute dash, they found the Tunbridge Ware box for £38.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40'And they limped over the finish line
0:21:40 > 0:21:43'with a novelty dog pepperette for £8.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46'Let's hope all their leg work will pay off, eh?
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- That was the most exhausting moment I've had.- Hey, you guys!
0:21:50 > 0:21:55You're jolly lucky to have got your three items at all, aren't you?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- A little, yes. - What do you mean, "a little, yes?"
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Well, did take a bit of time. - Took a bit of time?!
0:22:01 > 0:22:04You bought nothing and then you bought a whole lot of what?
0:22:04 > 0:22:09- How much did you spend? - £71.- £71? I rest my case.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Who's got the £229?- Me!
0:22:11 > 0:22:13You've never had so much leftover lolly to spend.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- No, it's going straight to the head, actually.- Is it?- Yes.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Are you going for hair care?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21LAUGHTER
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Look at the look of horror! Anyway, girls,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26look after yourselves, good luck, good luck with your buy.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Meanwhile, we're heading off somewhere absolutely fab,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31down the road, right here in Kent.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41Completed in 1843, this is the new house at Scotney,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44the result of a six-year collaboration
0:22:44 > 0:22:47between the Victorian architect Anthony Salvin
0:22:47 > 0:22:53and his local wealthy client squire, Edward Hussey III.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Edward Hussey's grandson, Christopher Hussey
0:22:57 > 0:23:01and his wife Betty were the last couple to live here.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05And it was only following Betty's death in 2006
0:23:05 > 0:23:10that we have had our opportunity to be able to explore inside
0:23:10 > 0:23:14'this magnificent Jacobethan home.'
0:23:18 > 0:23:23The interior of this house is relatively unchanged.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27It looks indeed as if the previous owners
0:23:27 > 0:23:30have simply upped sticks and left it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33When the National Trust took it over, they found
0:23:33 > 0:23:36'it was literally crammed full, every drawer,
0:23:36 > 0:23:42'every cupboard, every surface, covered in precious objects'
0:23:42 > 0:23:44and they've kept it that way,
0:23:44 > 0:23:48just like Christopher and Betty requested.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52'Christopher Hussey proposed to Betty in the garden at Scotney
0:23:52 > 0:23:56'and so it was fitting that shortly after their marriage in 1936,
0:23:56 > 0:23:58'it became their home.'
0:23:58 > 0:24:02'Betty was keen to modernise the antiquated services
0:24:02 > 0:24:05'but very little on the ground floor was changed.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10'Even adapting the small drawing room to make a study for Christopher was done with care
0:24:10 > 0:24:14'so as to preserve the period character of the house.'
0:24:14 > 0:24:20This is one of the few rooms that Christopher and Betty altered on the ground floor,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22but they did it very sensitively,
0:24:22 > 0:24:27because they retained the Salvin original details,
0:24:27 > 0:24:32'including the Jacobethan strapwork plaster to the ceiling'
0:24:32 > 0:24:38and of course this magnificent neo-Renaissance fire surround,
0:24:38 > 0:24:42complete with its split parcel gilt columns.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46And rather fun, I think, stored in the glazed compartment
0:24:46 > 0:24:51above the fireplace itself are a series of bottles.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Almost as decorative as these volumes.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Now there is a tradition in the Hussey family
0:24:57 > 0:24:59with regard to scrapbooks.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04There are all sorts of scrap-decorated screens around
0:25:04 > 0:25:09the house, but this particular volume dates back to the period
0:25:09 > 0:25:15of Edward Hussey III, and we've got a number of colourful examples.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20Effectively, sheets of paper cut up, and in this case, pasted
0:25:20 > 0:25:24and sewn on linen pages in this volume.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29And here we've got a volume that was created by Christopher.
0:25:29 > 0:25:35This one is one of nine albums which survive here in the house,
0:25:35 > 0:25:40and it shows how on the 10th of February 1939,
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Christopher and Betty visited Corsham Court in Wiltshire.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47We've got watercolours and photographs
0:25:47 > 0:25:55and signatures that provide on an almost weekly basis throughout 1939
0:25:55 > 0:25:59a visual record of where Christopher Hussey and his wife went.
0:26:00 > 0:26:07This of course is particularly interesting in Christopher Hussey's case, because he was employed
0:26:07 > 0:26:12or associated closely with the Country Life magazine.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15That magazine continues to this very day
0:26:15 > 0:26:20to record country life in all its aspects.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24The big question today of course is what sort of life
0:26:24 > 0:26:28are our teams about to enjoy over at the auction?
0:26:30 > 0:26:34And today, we're in the East Sussex
0:26:34 > 0:26:38town of Rye at Rye Auction Galleries with auctioneer Kevin Waugh.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42- Morning, Kevin.- Morning, Tim.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Very lovely to be here.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Now, we've got this rather fancy silver propelling pencil.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- Is that a good item? - Yes, rather a nice item.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55It is dated 1918, so during the First World War still,
0:26:55 > 0:26:59not at the end of the war, but it could have been an officer's pencil.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Does have a few little dinks and dents to it though,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06which doesn't help it. But it's still a good item.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09With the silver prices as they are,
0:27:09 > 0:27:11it is a possibility that it could be scrapped.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13But we've estimated it between £30-£40.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Fine, £35 was paid.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18So they'd be very happy if you got £40 or more.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Next is this hideous Chinese pottery vase.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Chinese, I'm not sure.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25There's no marks to it.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29One of these items that could have been made three or four weeks' ago.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32There's not a great age to it. It's still a decorative item.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34It'd look nice in a porch or hallway.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36We've estimated the item at £40-£50.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Brilliant, they paid £48,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41so it'll be interesting to see what you make of it.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Next is this half a forest of bamboo.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47We've got the four armchairs, this joker and some other pieces.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50What's all that lot worth, Kevin?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53The items again, £10-£20. The four chairs...
0:27:53 > 0:27:54What, all of them?
0:27:54 > 0:28:00All of them together, I'm afraid. The four chairs are a little bit tired, very flaky and loose,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02coming apart.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05The magazine rack is the newest piece, probably made in about 1980.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Yes, and the best of it.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09And the best piece out of the lot.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- You don't rate the coffee table then?- I don't rate the coffee table at all, I'm afraid.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- Oh dear.- Very loose as well.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- They paid £48 for the lot.- Oh dear.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20They thought they'd done well. It means they'll need their bonus buy,
0:28:20 > 0:28:23so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Will and Rob, this is your bonus buy moment.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30£169 you gave to the veteran James Braxton.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- Done this a few times, haven't you James?- Yes, ten years.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37All the benefit of the things you've experienced on this show, and what have you come up with?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Well, it's been concentrated in this Tim.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44All things Indian, that's what we like.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- How much was it?- £25.- 25.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51It's Indian. Rather nice brass figure, very heavy casting.
0:28:51 > 0:28:57- What do you think it's going to make? - I think it should be, I don't know, £30 plus.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58Profit?
0:28:58 > 0:29:02- No, selling price. - Do you like it, Will?
0:29:02 > 0:29:03It isn't my cup of tea.
0:29:03 > 0:29:08It's probably going to make more money than the stuff we've bought though, so...
0:29:08 > 0:29:10OK, chaps - for the audience at home, let's find out
0:29:10 > 0:29:14what the auctioneer thinks of James' little brass figure.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Here we go. Here's something else out of a container.
0:29:17 > 0:29:18Over to you, Kevin.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Yes, Indian deity figure. Possibly Balarama.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- It does look to have the moustache there.- Nice moustache!
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Got a fair bit of weight to it. Not sure about the age.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31We've estimated this item between £10-£20.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35£25 paid by Braxton and he's hoping for a profit.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39Anyway, I'm going to park the little fellow up there.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Perhaps he'll bring them some luck.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Anyway, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Another wacky selection, look.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52Starting with the Homemaker printed silk blouse and plate.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56The date of the shirt is a little bit later than originally thought.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Under investigation, we found out that this company
0:29:59 > 0:30:02didn't start manufacturing these shirts until 1990.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06Ah, Kevin, you've done your homework. Good man.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08It's a later reproduction type shirt?
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Because it is a reproduction and a later model, but still quirky,
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- 25 to £30.- They paid £25.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- So pretty well spot-on with that, actually.- We are.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Next up is the Tunbridge Ware box.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25- Now, that's a pukka thing, isn't it? - Nice little box in very good condition, really.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28We've had a look at it, just make sure it is Tunbridge Ware and not Sorrento.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31We've estimated this, again, 30 to £50.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- Very good. £38 paid, so they paid the right price on that.- Yes.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37That's two good items, then. And what about Bonzo?
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Bonzo. We have the pepper pot, we don't have the salt.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Oh, I see.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46- We want the other half, really. We've estimated ten to £15. - That's all right.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50£8 only was paid, so they paid the right price.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54- I think they'll do all right. I don't see them in the red.- No.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I see them in the black or blue,
0:30:56 > 0:30:59so they may not need their bonus buy, but let's look at it anyway.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Now, Veronica and Jules,
0:31:03 > 0:31:08you gave dear David £229 of leftover lolly.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10I rather hope you've blown the lot, David!
0:31:10 > 0:31:14Well, I wish I could've done, but I didn't.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Two fascinating ladies and I had to buy two related objects.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Tim, would you do the honours and remove the rag cloth?
0:31:20 > 0:31:21Yes, here we go.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Ooh!
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Veronica, can you hold that one and I'll explain why I like this.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Yes.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32This is 1950s, '60s, and it's a good-time girl.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Very, very collectible. The arms or legs go up in the air like this.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38And I'd like to think of you probably in your 70s or 80s
0:31:38 > 0:31:41jazzing around and having cocktails.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Now, this one here, I think, has got class.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49And this one is pewter and it is Liberty.
0:31:49 > 0:31:54Designed by an artist called Archibald Knox,
0:31:54 > 0:31:57and this is typical of the Art Nouveau pieces
0:31:57 > 0:32:00produced for Liberty's, with the handle coming out there
0:32:00 > 0:32:05and two sort of tendrils going either side as the support.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10Then you've got the little medallion here, can you see that, of a golfer.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13The reason I bought this is just outside Rye
0:32:13 > 0:32:16is one of the world's famous golf courses.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20I think anybody interested in golf coming to Rye
0:32:20 > 0:32:22might go for that.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26I paid £148 for the two objects.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29- I think the corkscrew is wonderful. - I love her.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33- She is fun, definitely. - Should feel a cocktail coming on!
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Yes, my dear, I think we should!
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Hang on to those thoughts, girls, as right now, for the viewers,
0:32:39 > 0:32:42we're going to find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:32:42 > 0:32:45of David's lot of brewery-ana!
0:32:46 > 0:32:50So, Kevin, here's a bit of a combo. What do you make of this?
0:32:50 > 0:32:55Rather an unusual combination. A Liberty's Tudric pewter tankard,
0:32:55 > 0:32:59and it comes along with a novelty corkscrew and bottle opener.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Which is aluminium, isn't it?
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Yes. Cast aluminium.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- That would be '30s or '50s? '50s. - '50s, I would think, here.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11The paintwork is missing on part of it but still a quirky little item.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15And we've estimated this somewhere around 50 to £70.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17- What, for the two?- For the two.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Ooh, dear! This is David Barby's bonus buy.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24- He paid 148 for the two pieces. - Oh, dear.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27It could be just a question of a bit of a bogey.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35OK, boys, how you feeling?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37- Yeah, a little bit nervous.- Yeah?
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- Beginning of the match nerves? - Not quite that bad.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44The next lot is your propelling pencil, and here it comes.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- Here we are.- Good luck, boys. This is really happening.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51An E Baker & Son sterling silver propelling pencil
0:33:51 > 0:33:54with inscribed date, 21st June 1918. What do we say for this one?
0:33:54 > 0:34:00- I've got £30 to start me. 30, I'm in. 32, 35.- Yes!- 30.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04I'm out, 35 here. 35, 35, do I see 38? Nice little pencil.
0:34:04 > 0:34:0735 in the room. 35.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Am I missing anybody here?
0:34:09 > 0:34:13At 35! At the back of the room at £35...
0:34:13 > 0:34:17That's wipe-face. Sorry about that. But anyway, there we go.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18It's no loss, anyway. That's OK.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20That's all right. We're even Stevens.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22That was the one we were banking on!
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Well...
0:34:24 > 0:34:28The 20th-century large stoneware vase, having blue glazed decoration.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31I can start it at £10.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34£10, £10, do I see 12?
0:34:34 > 0:34:3812, 15, 18, 20, two, 22 here.
0:34:38 > 0:34:4122, 22. Do I see 25?
0:34:41 > 0:34:46At £22. We're all done, then, at 22.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50£22, so you're minus 26. Bad luck.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51Good start(!)
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Now, are we going to get caned?
0:34:55 > 0:35:00Number 96 is the 1960s, '70s set of four cane armchairs.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Cane and glass coffee table, and a later magazine rack.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05THEY LAUGH
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- There it is, showing over there.- Lovely.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Yes. Don't you just love a magazine rack?
0:35:09 > 0:35:11What do we say, £20? Start me, somebody.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15- Brilliant.- £10 I'm bid. Thank you, sir.- We've actually got a tenner(!)
0:35:15 > 0:35:17At least it's gone.
0:35:17 > 0:35:1912. £10, £10. 12 on the net.
0:35:19 > 0:35:2112, 12, do I see 15?
0:35:21 > 0:35:2315 on the net. We'll play with the net.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25On the internet, at £15.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27At 15, 15. Do I see 18?
0:35:27 > 0:35:29It's exciting.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Come on.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- Come on. - On the internet, then, at £15...
0:35:34 > 0:35:35HE BANGS GAVEL
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Uh-oh.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40£15 is minus 33.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44- Wounded.- Minus 33... That's 26.
0:35:44 > 0:35:4659. Minus £59.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50What are we going to do about this Indian figure, then?
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- Minus 59.- I think it's worth a shot.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- There's no harm in trying. - You're going to have a shot?
0:35:56 > 0:35:58- Yeah, we'll take a shot. - We're trusting you, James.
0:35:58 > 0:36:03- We trust you here. Come on. - You're going to do it. OK.- Yep.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Right, that's it. Decision's made -
0:36:05 > 0:36:09we're going with the Indian brass figure, and here it comes.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13It is the 19th-century cast brass Hindu deity figure.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14I have some bids.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18They start me at 10, 12, 18, 20,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- 22, I'm bid.- Come on.
0:36:20 > 0:36:2222, 22. Do I see 25?
0:36:22 > 0:36:26At 22, here on commission. At 22, 22.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27Do I see 25?
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- Go on!- It's against you all now.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33It's here, at £22. We're all done at 22...
0:36:33 > 0:36:34HE BANGS GAVEL
0:36:34 > 0:36:38Bad luck. £22, James. It's only minus £3.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- No shame in that. Minus 62. - It was worth a punt.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44That is the way to think about it. You had a punt.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46You stood there. You took it on the chin.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49The big thing now is don't talk to the Blues, all right?
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Veronica, are you worried about anything?
0:36:57 > 0:37:00I think I could be a bit worried about the silk shirt.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- Why are you were worried about that? - I love it, but it's just...
0:37:03 > 0:37:08- Well, he's estimated £25 to £30 on it and you paid £25 on it.- Oh!
0:37:08 > 0:37:09It's a peach. He rates it.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13- He says he's had some interest, internet-type interest.- Really?
0:37:13 > 0:37:18- Fab!- Your first item is the Homemaker plate and shirt.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19Here it comes.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24Lot number 114 is the 1970s Homemaker side plate
0:37:24 > 0:37:27and there's a shady character Homemaker silk patterned shirt.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30They tell me this is very rare, this shirt.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Somebody start me at £20.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Somebody start me at £10, then. Let's go.
0:37:36 > 0:37:41£10 there. There we go. 12, 15, 18, 20,
0:37:41 > 0:37:442, 25, 28, 30.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- You're in profit. Well done. - 30 I have.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48At £30.
0:37:48 > 0:37:5030, 30. It's well worth it.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- At £30, then.- No!- On my right hand side, we're all done
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- at £30... - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:37:56 > 0:37:58That's OK. Plus £5. Don't moan about that.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59It's a profit. Fantastic.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Now, the Tunbridge Ware box, Jules.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- I like this. This is your box. - My box.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05Lot 115
0:38:05 > 0:38:09is the mid-19th century domed-top Tunbridge Ware trinket box.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12"Domed-top" makes it more interesting.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16I have some bids. I start the bidding here at 15.
0:38:16 > 0:38:2120, 5, 28, 30 I'm bid. At 30 I'm bid.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- Up a bit, please.- Oh, no!
0:38:23 > 0:38:2532, 35, 38.
0:38:25 > 0:38:2738 upstairs.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Come on. Come on.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- 40.- Yes! You're in profit. Well done.
0:38:31 > 0:38:3445, 48, 50.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35Yes! Well done, Jules.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37At 50 upstairs. 50, 50.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42Do I see 5? At £50, with the young lady there, at £50.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45£50 is plus £12. That's plus 12 on that.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- You are plus 17 overall.- High five.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50- Now...- Here's sweetie pops.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55Lot 116 is the 1920s Japanese porcelain pepper pot
0:38:55 > 0:38:58in the form of Bonzo.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59Bonzo!
0:38:59 > 0:39:01There we are. Where are we going with this one?
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Who's got about £50 to start me for him?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Oh, my Lord!- Come in at 10, then. It's a quirky little piece.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09£10, somebody? Thank you very much.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11£10 and you're in profit.
0:39:11 > 0:39:1412, 15, 18, 20.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Yes!
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- 18 on my right.- Come on - 20!
0:39:18 > 0:39:2018, 18. Do I see 20?
0:39:20 > 0:39:22At £18, then, we're all done.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Going away at 18.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28That is plus £10. Overall, girls, you are plus £27.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Now, before you break out the champagne,
0:39:30 > 0:39:33what are you going to do about the mug and the corkscrew?
0:39:33 > 0:39:37- Are you going to go with it?- God! - We're torn. We love them.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40- They're fantastic.- With the greatest respect to you...
0:39:40 > 0:39:42- No, not at all.- I think it's a no.
0:39:42 > 0:39:43- You're going to park it?- Yeah.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- You're going to ring-fence your £27 profit.- Yes.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49- Decision made, girls?- Yes.- Happy?
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Right, we're not going with the bonus buy, but I can reveal now
0:39:52 > 0:39:55that the auctioneer's estimate is £50 to £70.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58The purchase price was 148,
0:39:58 > 0:40:02and I think his problem is that you've got two disparate objects -
0:40:02 > 0:40:08something from the '50s and something from the Tudric, kind of Art Nouveau period.
0:40:08 > 0:40:14And whilst they're both good things, together, strangely enough,
0:40:14 > 0:40:17they're likely to bring less than what the two parts are worth.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Had they been sold separately... Interesting.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24We're not going with it, but we'll see what it brings anyway.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Hand-beaten pewter tankard. Stylised handle and motif.
0:40:30 > 0:40:341950s and '60s Italian cast metal bottle opener and corkscrew.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37There they are, showing. Nice quirky corkscrew.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38Tankard's a very nice piece.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42Somebody start me at about £80, I should think, for Liberty's.
0:40:42 > 0:40:43£80?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Start me at 20, then? Let's get it going.
0:40:46 > 0:40:4820?!
0:40:48 > 0:40:5220, 2, 25, 28, 30, 2, 35, 38.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- 40, 45.- I'm trying not to laugh.
0:40:55 > 0:40:5745? 45.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- This is cheap, David.- Oh, come on. This is so cheap.- Dirt cheap.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02It's not over yet.
0:41:02 > 0:41:0345...
0:41:03 > 0:41:08- What about the Internet, David? - There's nothing coming in. - Nothing coming in.- I'm shocked.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Upstairs, at 45.
0:41:09 > 0:41:10HE BANGS GAVEL
0:41:10 > 0:41:12- £45.- That's a steal.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16£45. That would have lost you £103.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- But you didn't do it.- No.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20You stuck to your true...
0:41:20 > 0:41:22You stuck to your instincts. Well done, girls.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- Don't tell the Reds a thing, all right?- No.- No.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29- Mum is the word.- Indeed.- Super. Well done.- Thank you.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Well, well, well, well.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38As they say, some days is good days and some days is bad days,
0:41:38 > 0:41:41and today has been a particularly bad day
0:41:41 > 0:41:42for the Red team.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45I mean, let's not dwell on this, eh?
