0:00:05 > 0:00:08Another beautiful antiques fair,
0:00:08 > 0:00:12in another beautiful part of this fair island of ours.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14That can only mean one thing.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Let's go bargain hunting, yes!
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Today we're at the Royal Bath and West Showground,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51near Shepton Mallet in Somerset,
0:00:51 > 0:00:56a place that is of course famed for its cider and the Wurzels,
0:00:56 > 0:01:00but I'll bet you my combine harvester
0:01:00 > 0:01:02that our teams will be able to reap
0:01:02 > 0:01:05some good bargains here today. Ooh, yes.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10- WEST COUNTRY ACCENT:- 'So, what's in store today then, bargain hunters?
0:01:10 > 0:01:15'Well, we've got two teams with very different tactics today.'
0:01:15 > 0:01:18They home in on things in a very particular way.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Shoes.- Shoes?- Shoes.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- We like the head. - We do like the head.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25'The Blues may look gentle,
0:01:25 > 0:01:28'but they're prepared to be ruthless to win.'
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Take them down?- No!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33We want to smack the red ones on the nose.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Smack the red ones on the nose?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39'The aim of the game actually is for each team to spend
0:01:39 > 0:01:42'up to £300 on three items, before selling at auction.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45'The biggest profit or smallest loss wins the day.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46'So let's meet these teams!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49'No catching flies.'
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Well, we've got two teams of friends today.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58- For the Reds, we've got Angela and Kerry. Hi, girls.- Hi.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- And we've Avril and Pat. Hi, girls.- Hello.- Lovely to see you.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Now, Angela, how did you two meet?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08She used to date my little brother, about five years ago,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11they're not dating any more but we've been good friends ever since.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Well, that's nice, isn't it?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15So the friendship has survived.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Angela, what do you do for a living?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19At the moment I'm working for a record label.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22I'm their writer, doing press releases and articles.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Who do you send your press releases to? Around the UK?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Well, just to music magazines and music internet sites.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Kerry deals with that. She's the press officer.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34What do you do when you're not writing?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36I love to cook, experimenting with food.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- I'm good at soups. - Really good at soups?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40I like finding unusual vegetables,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43putting them in the blender and seeing if they taste good.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Do you like a bit of cooking too, Kerry?- Definitely.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Yes?- I worked in a pub for a while, doing a bit of cheffing
0:02:50 > 0:02:51and made lots of cake.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Cake. In a pub?- Oh, yes. - What sort of a pub is this?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57A good pub!
0:02:57 > 0:02:59You're pretty keen on footy, aren't you?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Yes, I have to be because my dad likes it
0:03:02 > 0:03:05and he'd disown me if I didn't support the right team.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Who do you support?- Bristol Rovers. - Somebody's got to.- Oh, I don't!
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- That's one thing we disagree on. - Do either of you collect anything?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I just like weird things that no-one else has.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Are you going to try and find the quirky and the oddball today?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Yes, but we'll keep our business minds on as well...
0:03:23 > 0:03:26But it's definitely going to be a partnership between the two of you?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Definitely.- Are you definitely going to win today?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I should think so.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34We'll have to see and it will be very good fun, I promise you.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Anyway, welcome.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Now, girls, are you excited about this?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Absolutely.- Definitely. - How did you two meet, Avril?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45I had a bed and breakfast business in Chippenham and Pat came to stay
0:03:45 > 0:03:48when she was buying a house in Chippenham.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51We struck up a friendship ever since.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Do you still live nearby one another?- Quite nearby, yes.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Do you still run the guesthouse? - No, not now.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- I've got too old for that. - Oh, have you?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Gosh, yes.- What did you used to do when you were working?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- I was a registrar, births deaths and marriages in London.- Were you?
0:04:06 > 0:04:11- Did you have any surprises ever? - Oh, yes. Yes.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- What sort of things happened to you? - Strange names, unusual names.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I had a baby once called Whoopsie.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Did you?!
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Can you remember what the surname was?- No.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- Was the second name Daisy? - No.- Whoopsie Daisy?- No.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- It wasn't as bad as that.- No, no. Do you collect anything between you?
0:04:31 > 0:04:38- I collect cruets.- Cruets? - I expect there's about 24, 25 sets.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41What about you, Pat? What do you collect, darling?
0:04:41 > 0:04:46I've got about 200 key rings from travelling around.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Key rings?- Yes, key rings. - This is fun, isn't it?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I think we're going to have a riot today, don't you?
0:04:51 > 0:04:56Here we go, look. The money moment, £300 a piece. You know the rules.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01Your experts await and off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Our teams are joined by a pair of keen experts to guide them
0:05:05 > 0:05:06on their way.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Donning their thinking caps for today's show,
0:05:08 > 0:05:12are elder statesman, Jeremy Lamond,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15and the young pretender, Henry Meadows.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Pat, Avril, how are we doing today? - Oh, good.- Oh, fine.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22So, ladies, what are you looking for today?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24It's got to be something that really jumps out at you.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Something old, something a bit unusual.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- Are you going to beat the Reds? - Definitely.- No question!
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Anything connected with the local history.- All right.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Something nautical.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- Should we go?- Yep.- Yep. - Let's go bargain hunting.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- I think it has spent more time in a pub than on a ship. - A bit like us, really.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44These are quite nice, aren't they?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Oh, my! All breakages must be paid for, Pat.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- You've heard of Pitcairn Island, presumably.- Yes.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Fletcher Christian.- That's it.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- A souvenir from Pitcairn Island. - That's good. That's nice.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- I should think it's a pipe rack. - I'd think so, yes, with those holes.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02That's a nice piece of wood, too.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05What's interesting about it, though, is that it's made by survivors
0:06:05 > 0:06:08on the island and made for the tourist market.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11But it's nice because it says souvenir from Pitcairn Island,
0:06:11 > 0:06:15home of the mutineers of the Bounty, 1790.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17It's the sort of thing people collect.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- It's a good collectors' market. - That is quite nice.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- What do you think of this one? - Not a bad maker.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26But not the oldest telescope in the world.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I can spy on people! It's quite a nice piece.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- It's a very attractive object. - I'll show you a little trick.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37- Over there, I can see what the Blues are buying.- Oh, can I have a look?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I think we better get over there!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Spying on the opposition, eh? Really, Jeremy!
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Can we go for it, then? See if we can beat them down?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Obviously, we need to be beat them down.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Yeah. That's quite a lot of money.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55If we can get it down to 30 or 35, then it might stand a good chance.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- Do you want to do some negotiating on that one?- Go on, Pat.- Come on.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Morning.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- What's the best you can do on that one?- 38.- 38?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- 36?- What about 35?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- Round it up. - 36, that's the final offer.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- 35 sounds better than 36. - 35 sounds best.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Round it down.- 35, all right.- OK.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21So, have you got a deal? Shake the lady's hand.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Well done. - Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28A nautical theme is developing and the Blues are the first to set sail,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30leaving the Reds marooned.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- £27?- I don't think so. They'll be more than that. But they are quite striking.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- They're fantastic! - I think they're Indian.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43I think they're probably 1920s or '30s because of this padding here.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44It's quite worn and faded.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- So these aren't new in any way. - It's lovely and smooth.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- It's got lovely texture to it. - It's lovely and smooth.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Where do you think it would have been hung?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I think it would have been hung on a wall as a trophy piece.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Because these are substantial, aren't they?
0:07:58 > 0:07:59I think that is a big bull.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03I think that these will appeal to pubs or gastro pubs.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- They're just so unusual. - I think, once they're cleaned up,
0:08:06 > 0:08:10you might find a couple of people fighting over them.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12They might make 100.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Would we like to inquire about these horns?- Yes, I think we would.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Would we like to inquire about these horns?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Hey, the horns are 75. That is not bad, is it?- How about 60?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Think I can get it down to 60?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Yeah.- She will take 60.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- OK, we'll take them! - Yeah. High-five!
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I think we've grabbed the bull by the horns
0:08:31 > 0:08:33and we're quids in for the first one.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Let's carry on as we started off. - Carry on.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39£60 to grab the bull by the horns, eh?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Punt-tastic!
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Those horns are quirky enough. Now, what's cooking for the Blues?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- These look nice.- I think they're lovely.- They're lovely.- Yes.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51They look very heavy.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Do you know which factory might have produced them?- No, I don't.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59- They're by the Doulton factory. - Are they?- They're cauldrons, obviously.- Yeah.- That's the form.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Should we ask how much they are? - Yes.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- Excuse me, how much are the pair of cauldrons here? - The price is £180.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- £180.- Oh!- Each?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- No, for the pair.- For the two.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15That's probably a bit high, really, for auction.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- We won't get that back.- Yeah.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20If they came in for sale, I would say, probably,
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- £100, £150. - My very best price would be 150.- OK.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Obviously, we need to respect the gentleman's lowest figure,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30but for us, I think it's going to be a bit too much for today.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35- Yeah, I think so, too. - OK. So, shall we move on?- Yeah.- OK.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- What about those stripy ones there? - A good variety.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42The Blues are taking it gently, in the autumn of their lives.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45While the Reds are looking decidedly frantic.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Or is that madness?
0:09:47 > 0:09:52Peg leg! Peg leg! Peg leg, peg leg, peg leg!
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- Oh, it's beautiful!- I like that.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- This goes with Bristol's history of pirates, obviously.- Yes.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Like Black Beard's peg leg, I recognise it.- Yes, definitely.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05- You've caught me on the hop a bit, because I don't know a lot... - Jeremy, the pun master.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- It's not a stand-alone item. - No, definitely not.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11But with some help, I think it could go far.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Do you think anybody at all ever on Bargain Hunt has bought
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- a peg leg before?- No.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I think it is unusual item.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- I don't think, looking at the pricing here, that there's much money in it.- No.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26But if you're set on your leg...
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I think it would be one small step for the auction,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- one massive leap for Bargain Hunt. - I think so.- Yeah.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36I think we're only, really, in terms of time, in the second leg.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Oh, enough of those lame jokes.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Maybe we'll find a better peg leg.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I don't think we're going to find many peg legs here.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Hey, look, over there. Look, there are the Reds.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Oh, right, OK. I wonder how they're doing.- Let's see.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- Oh, it's the Blues!- Oh, God!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54This is turning into a Bargain Hunt standoff.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Quick, hide the leg, hide the leg.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- They won't be as good as us.- No!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03I hope they're going to hop off pretty soon.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- How many have you bought? We bought a massive horn.- All right, good.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10We're just on our second leg, really. How do you feel, ladies?
0:11:10 > 0:11:15- Very good. Very good.- Come on, you Blues!- See you later and good luck!
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Wow, they look like they're going ahead. We better speed up.- Yeah.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- We've got to catch up. - Time to leg it, Reds.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- We want something to really jump out at us.- Jump out.
0:11:30 > 0:11:36- Like a deer or something?- Something that is not within this world.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Oh, right, OK.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I don't think we've had a UFO on Bargain Hunt before, Avril.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Meanwhile, let's teleport over to the Red Team.
0:11:46 > 0:11:52- Look, lawn bowls.- Oh, golly!- Oh, wow!- A pub would really like that.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- We like this.- It's by Jaques,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57quite a famous late Victorian-Edwardian maker
0:11:57 > 0:12:01of carpet bowls and croquet sets, especially.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06We've got the Jaques, and it's actually marked Jaques. That's really nice, isn't it?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- This ties in with your pub theme, doesn't it?- It does.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12So, you've got the horns above the bar
0:12:12 > 0:12:15and then you've got the lawn bowls out back
0:12:15 > 0:12:17and you're going to have a drink and a bowl, aren't you?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- How do you know so much about lawn bowls?- Misspent youth.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23THEY LAUGH
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- So, do you like that?- Yeah. - I think we do, yeah.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- Do you want to negotiate? - I think we shall.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- We might have hit the Jaques pot. - The Jaques pot.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- For the bowls?- Yeah, you've got 68 on them.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- I wonder if you would take 50 at all?- Ah... 68...
0:12:38 > 0:12:43- Yeah.- Do we have a deal? - Lovely doing business with you.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Lovely.- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51The Reds scored their second item, they're on a roll!
0:12:51 > 0:12:55So, what do our teams think of their experts so far?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- He's lovely, isn't he?- He's very nice!- I want him to be my uncle.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I've got ten grandchildren and I'll add him to the list.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05- And Jeremy's jokes?- They're a bit antique, but I suppose it fits.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Oh, look, Jeremy, you can improve your jokes.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- Yeah, cheers. - Leave the jokes to me, eh, J?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- What are those little things there, by your hand, Henry?- These?- Yes.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Oh, right. They're made of conch shells, from the conch shell.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21They're cameos.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26- You know, you've seen nice Victorian cameos?- Yes.- Things like that?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29That's what they are. They've got electric cables,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32which, obviously, means they've been lights at some stage.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36They'd look nice with a nice light inside them, wouldn't they?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Absolutely. You've got a mythological scene on yours.
0:13:39 > 0:13:45- Sort of Grecian female.- Yes. How old do you think they would be?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Looking at the style of carving, they're going to be early 20th century.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Perhaps 1910, 1920. Obviously, they're priced up at £28 each.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Yeah, but you're not going to pay that.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Perhaps, if we could buy the two, we could put them as one lot.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Yeah, they're rather nice.- Do you like them? I want you to be happy.
0:14:01 > 0:14:07If they were rewired, I think they would be really, really pretty. And it would be worth doing.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10If they came in to auction, I would say £40 for the two.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15- £40?- You should be doing... You should be doing this.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- You want to do some negotiating?- He won't give any more, I don't think.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- We'll see what we can do. - He can only say no.- That's right.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Hi, these two.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- They're much too expensive for us. - Right.- £40 for the two?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Go on, it's a nice day.- Go on.- Yes?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Well done, Avril! Looks interesting.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- How much have you paid?- £40. - That's marvellous!
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- What do you think about them, Hen? - I think they're smashing.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47They're sort of tourist quality,
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- but they're lovely and inexpensive at £40 for the two.- I think so.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56- And when they're lit up, they'll be lovely.- They come from Naples, right?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59The Bay of Naples. The old conch has come in from the bed
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- of the Mediterranean.- Oh, I see.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05And the lovely Neapolitan craftsperson has cut this away
0:15:05 > 0:15:07just like a cameo.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- That's right.- Very clever, isn't it? - I think they're lovely.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Well, girls, that's extraordinary. - Oh, aren't we clever?
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Aren't all three of you clever! On that, I'll shove off. Thanks, girls.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Bye.- Bye.- Bye. See you later.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22I hope those shells don't wash up at auction.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Both our teams have just one more item to buy
0:15:25 > 0:15:28and no time to get distracted. Go, J.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- Wow, look at those shoes! Shoes, shoes!- Shoes!- Shoes, shoes!
0:15:32 > 0:15:36I think they're my size, actually.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- Anything to add, Jeremy?- Shoes...
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Didn't think so.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- When I was a little girl, about six or seven...- Yeah.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46We had this bath in the kitchen.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- And I got out of the bath, stepped back and sat on top of one exactly like that.- Did you?
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Oh gosh! It's what? An old kerosene stove.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- That must've given you a bit of a fright.- It gave me something!
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Ooh, painful! It's hotting up.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03And with the clock ticking, the Reds are on the charge!
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- We can't handle too much.- The Blues are taking it nice and steady.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08They want something a bit classy.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- What about some good quality stuff? - Oh, all right. OK.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I'm all about quality.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- What price do you think they are? James?- Henry.- Henry.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26They'll cut that bit out!
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- Pat?- You have to watch Pat because she does tend to wander off.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33They were £60, those tall ones.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Well, we can look at those in a minute.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39But Avril's got an idea in her mind
0:16:39 > 0:16:41and she just wants to run through it.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44What do you think about those two that we saw first of all? The pair.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- I like those.- They were absolutely beautiful.- They were good quality, weren't they?- Yes.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52I think, at the moment, we've only got bric-a-brac.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Yeah, we don't give them what he asked for.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00- No, we need to get him down to £120, £130.- Yes.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- We do, honestly, in order to make a profit.- If we can do that,
0:17:03 > 0:17:08- because he did say 150. He's got to come down more than that.- Yeah.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- And we'll have them.- OK. You lead the way, I'll follow.- OK.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Avril's got a plan. Less haste?
0:17:20 > 0:17:24But with time running out, the Reds have stepped up a gear.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- So, we've got about ten minutes. - And counting.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I don't think they had any marks on them.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34These are the ones that we saw, Henry.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39- I think they are lovely. - And what are the marks like on them?
0:17:39 > 0:17:46- Inside, there is an impressed mark. - Yes, there is. 1904.- 1904.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- Let's have a look. - There you are.- Oh, yeah. 1904.
0:17:50 > 0:17:541904 is not the date, it's the pattern or the mould number.
0:17:54 > 0:18:00- I see, OK.- But also, I've noticed here, can you see "EB"
0:18:00 > 0:18:02incised into it?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- "EB." It's very difficult to see, actually.- Oh, yes.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09That's going to be the decorator's mark.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I'm afraid, off the top of my head, I don't know who EB is.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- Do you think you could make a profit on those?- I don't think...
0:18:15 > 0:18:19If we sell these, were not going to be sitting on a beach dining off the profit.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22No, I don't think so either.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25We could have some fish and chips.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30- We might get to Skegness on it.- OK. - See what you can do.- OK.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33What would be the lowest you would take on these?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- It would have to be 140.- 135?
0:18:35 > 0:18:41- Go on, it's a lovely day.- It's worth a try.- I'm a pensioner.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- Well, so am I!- So are we!- So am I! - I like your style. Use your charm.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- OK.- All right?- Yeah, fine.- We shake hands on this?- We will indeed.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- If I can reach.- Don't drop the vase.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Oh, I wouldn't do that. I think that's lovely.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Thank you very much.- You're welcome. - Good.- OK.- Well, that's it.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01- Well done.- OK.- Thanks.- That old Greek Aesop had it about right.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02With a bit of focus,
0:19:02 > 0:19:06the blue tortoises have beaten the red hares to the finishing line.
0:19:06 > 0:19:12We got very bold towards the end. We wanted to spend big. And we did.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14We want to smack the red ones on the nose.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Oh, smack the red ones on the nose?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Steady on, girl.- Cup of tea time? - Yes, definitely.- Yes, please.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Let's go. Come on.- Okey-doke.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24The Blues meander off for their hard-earned cuppa.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Meanwhile, the manic Reds are pushing it right up to the wire.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32Keep up, Jeremy! It's almost last orders.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38And look what we found, Jeremy.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41OK, so what you've got here is a Victorian police truncheon.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43A lot of these were made by Field of Holborn
0:19:43 > 0:19:46and are marked or stamped on the end.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50And this one is here. Hard wood, as you would expect.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54And you've got the remains, really. 25 here. You've got the remains...
0:19:54 > 0:19:56You've got some usage just over here.
0:19:56 > 0:20:02- ..of the Victorian painting.- So what would've been painted on here?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Well, the royal coat of arms was often painted on here.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07It would be blacked over there.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11The only problem you've got now is that this one is cracked.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- How much is the truncheon?- 30. - I think that's worth a go.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19You've had bull's horns, you've had carpet bowls.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22So, the last bit for your pub, something for behind the bar?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- Are we a done deal? - We are.- I think so.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- Let's go and have a pint. - Excellent idea.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Job done, time for refreshment.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- There's a real head on that. - Definitely.- Cheers.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39That's it, stop the clock.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Your destiny is sealed, there is no going back.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Let's now check out what our teams have bought, shall we?
0:20:47 > 0:20:51The quick-fire Reds wanted quirky, and they got quirky.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55They're hoping to skewer the bidders with these impressive cattle horns,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57bought for £60.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00That is if they haven't been rustled already. Yeah.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Maybe they'll play a blocker with this quality set
0:21:03 > 0:21:06of garden bowls, for £50.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09And if the damage doesn't knock them off track,
0:21:09 > 0:21:13this Victorian truncheon for £30 might just do the business.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Hey, you lot. You better watch out, it's just about to rain.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Have you had a nice time?- Yes.- We got everything in the nick of time.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Got some very interesting objects. - Oh, yes.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24And what did you spend all round?
0:21:24 > 0:21:29- 140?- 140.- OK, I'd like 160 of the leftover lolly, please.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- OK, here you go.- Thank you very much. Lovely. £160.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37- Jeremy, that's a tidy sum. - I'm quids in this weekend.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42Apart from your jokes, what else are you going to invest in?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Well, I think I might look for something small and profitable.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- So...- For a change.- Yes! - Good luck with that.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57The sure-footed Blues ambled their way through their purchases
0:21:57 > 0:22:01and think this souvenir of Pitcairn Island, bought for £35,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04might generate some interest at auction.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Will these early 20th century cameo lamps made from conch shells
0:22:09 > 0:22:11light up the room at £40?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14And they're hoping these two Royal Doulton cauldrons
0:22:14 > 0:22:16will do the business.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Just look at these girls. Have you had a good time or not?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- I've thoroughly enjoyed it. - Avril, well, I don't know, I've heard all sorts of stories
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- as to what you've been getting up to, you two.- Everything.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- That Patricia, I don't know. - She is a one.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- She is a one, isn't she?- Definitely. - How's it gone for you, Henry?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37They've both been great team-mates, I think we've got some good items.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Yes.- How much did you spend all round, girls?
0:22:40 > 0:22:47- Well, I've got £90 to give you. - £210.- 210, plus a bit of change.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52- Well, £90 is enough to go and do something, Henry, isn't it?- Notes and shrapnel, thanks very much.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- It's a good size fair and there's a lot of variety.- Yes.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58And very good luck. And good luck, Henry.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Meanwhile, we're heading off to Kelmscott Manor,
0:23:00 > 0:23:04which is an extraordinary place, as you're about to find out.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Kelmscott Manor stands on the river plain
0:23:11 > 0:23:14of the upper Thames in the Cotswolds.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18The house was built around 1600 by the Turner family,
0:23:18 > 0:23:23who lived here for 300 years before advertising it for rent in 1871.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31In the same year, William Morris, the designer,
0:23:31 > 0:23:37was looking for a country house to which he could withdraw
0:23:37 > 0:23:41from the pressures of his life in London.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45On discovering Kelmscott, he fell in love,
0:23:45 > 0:23:50describing it as heaven on earth that he had seen in a dream.
0:24:03 > 0:24:10When Morris died in 1896, his widow Jane bought the house
0:24:10 > 0:24:14and she passed it on to their youngest daughter, May,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17who lived in it until she died in 1938.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23May was determined that the manor should remain as it had been
0:24:23 > 0:24:27during her father's life. Accordingly, in her will,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30she bequeathed the house to the University of Oxford,
0:24:30 > 0:24:32who eventually passed it into the hands
0:24:32 > 0:24:36of the Society Of Antiquaries in London.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40The society has thoroughly and sympathetically repaired the property,
0:24:40 > 0:24:45and the house now lives again as a beautiful country home
0:24:45 > 0:24:49and memorial to Morris. When May Morris took over the house,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53she brought with her some of the items from the Red House,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56their previous family home of five years in London.
0:24:56 > 0:25:02These two hangings were particularly important to May Morris
0:25:02 > 0:25:07because, of course, her parents, when they went to Red House as newlyweds,
0:25:07 > 0:25:11needed, like all newlyweds, house furnishings.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16And her mother, Jane, discovered this blue serge.
0:25:16 > 0:25:22And William came up with the design, incorporating daisies,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24a particular favourite theme of his.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29And together they snuggled down in the winter evenings
0:25:29 > 0:25:33and worked up these hangings with these designs,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35which are very special.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39We have another Red House piece of furniture here,
0:25:39 > 0:25:44which is a settle, a settle which William Morris was keen on
0:25:44 > 0:25:49as a type of furniture because it harked back to a medieval period,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51when, of course, draughts coming in
0:25:51 > 0:25:55and the protection of your head and back were important.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57It's interesting, the treatment
0:25:57 > 0:26:00that William Morris gave this leather covering
0:26:00 > 0:26:04because these top sections have been decorated with stencils,
0:26:04 > 0:26:10some sort of lino or potato cut which repeats,
0:26:10 > 0:26:14rather like tiles running along in this section.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18And the lower part, which has some pretty comprehensively
0:26:18 > 0:26:22decorated panels of tooled leather. You can see the tooling here
0:26:22 > 0:26:26in all these almost lizard-like scales
0:26:26 > 0:26:30and then painted on the outside, exquisitely, in my view,
0:26:30 > 0:26:35with quite thick impasto paint, are stylized carnations.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39The big question today is, of course, for our teams,
0:26:39 > 0:26:43what sort of condition are they going to finish up in over at the auction?
0:26:43 > 0:26:47We'll find out soon enough, as we're in Bristol...
0:26:49 > 0:26:54..in the capable hands of Simon Rayner at Dreweatts Auction Rooms.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Hi.- Hello, Tim. - Very nice to see you.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03We start off with some pretty wacky horns here for the Reds.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04I mean, these are amazing.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07They are huge. They're amongst the biggest I've seen.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Where do they come from, Simon?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11They could've come from Highland cattle.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I'm not an expert in this field. It's difficult to find out.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18They could've come from a Highland cow, but they're enormous.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20It would be a monster of a cow, wouldn't it?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Might come from India. - Could be, yes.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Well, I think it's a spectacular decorator's piece, don't you?
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- Yes, yes.- I mean, redo the pad, clean them up a bit, it's quite something.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31It really is, yeah.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- How do you value them? - £50 to £80.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37I think it could do towards the top end of that estimate, though.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- It's a guess, isn't it, really?- Yes. - I mean, they paid £60.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- That's a good punt, I think. - Now, the garden bowls.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- Gosh, this looks like a tatty old group.- It is a little bit tatty.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53I mean, Jacques are probably the best name in lawn bowls and croquet.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55We have sold an identical example,
0:27:55 > 0:27:59except in much better condition, for £38 a couple of years ago.
0:27:59 > 0:28:00I looked through our auctions.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I think £30 to £50. What's nice,
0:28:03 > 0:28:06it's got the ceramic jack still with it. That's good.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08And you've got the instructions.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12- They're just a little bit tatty. But you've got the box and everything.- Yeah.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17- Anyway, £50 was paid. Your estimate is £30 to £50?- Yes.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- They might be a bit light.- They're going to take a tumble, possibly.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- And the third item is the truncheon. - Yep. Truncheons are collectible.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29They need to be in much better condition than that, though, really.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33You've got the remains of paint there. It's been badly cracked.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Nice turned grip on it. But I think it's going to be £10, £15.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40OK, £30 paid. So, I fancy they're going to need their bonus buy,
0:28:40 > 0:28:42so let's go have a look at it.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48- Now, Ange, Kerry, leftover lolly, are you excited?- Yeah.- Definitely.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50OK, £160 Jeremy had. What did you spend it on?
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Well, I've got something under here which
0:28:52 > 0:28:54isn't immediately obvious as an object.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58I want you to tell me what you think it is. Not what it's worth,
0:28:58 > 0:28:59but what you think it is.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06- Is it a sewing machine? - A sewing machine? Any others?
0:29:06 > 0:29:12- Does that wheel move?- It does move. And here is a little cotton reel.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14That is a clue.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- Oh, you're such a tease, Jeremy. - I am.- You really are.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Is it for spinning or something?
0:29:19 > 0:29:22In this country and Europe, what we do is use a chalk line.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25If you're in Japan and you were an architect
0:29:25 > 0:29:28and you wanted to mark out an area, you would get your
0:29:28 > 0:29:31sumitsubo, which is what this is.
0:29:31 > 0:29:37What you would do is drag your cotton reel over the ink here
0:29:37 > 0:29:41and pull it out as far as you wanted to with your inky line
0:29:41 > 0:29:43and mark your territory out.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Once they completed the building,
0:29:45 > 0:29:49they would have sumitsubos presented ceremonially as a mark of
0:29:49 > 0:29:54respect and thanks for the building that you had designed and marked out.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Now, these have been made for many centuries
0:29:58 > 0:30:02and it's a traditional Japanese architect's tool.
0:30:02 > 0:30:07- People like Japanese stuff, don't they?- £95 paid.- Oh, really?
0:30:07 > 0:30:11When I bought this, very quickly, in a very busy fair,
0:30:11 > 0:30:13I thought it was rosewood.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16But looking at it here and feeling it,
0:30:16 > 0:30:19I shouldn't be able to bend this wheel in my fingers.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22And what I've bought here is a bit of plastic.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27So, that doesn't mean that it wouldn't still work as an object.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- But it wouldn't be as valuable. - Obviously not, no.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33I don't know if people are going to pay for plastic.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35No, I don't think they would either.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- But there's a lesson in that really. - Try before you buy.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41I'll get my coat.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46Well, everybody is taken in by these very, very clever reproductions.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49But as a matter of interest, let's find out what the auctioneer
0:30:49 > 0:30:52thinks about Jimmy's plastic sumitsubo.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- Well, there you go, over to you, Simon.- Really unusual object.
0:30:57 > 0:31:03I've never seen one of these before. I had absolutely no idea what was.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Very ornate.
0:31:04 > 0:31:09But something didn't feel quite right about it as I was looking at it.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13And it looks as though it's carved wood, but it's not, plastic.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18- This could be in the last 20 or 30 years.- What's it worth?
0:31:18 > 0:31:20I don't think it's worth an awful lot of money.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23It's a mass-produced item, I would think, being in plastic.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28An interesting item, but £30 to £50. Someone might take a gamble on it.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30OK, £95 paid by Jeremy.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Anyway, that's it for the Reds, with their completely wacky group.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35We'll move on to the Blues.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39We've got an early-20th-century pipe rack.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43Pitcairn items are collectible, but I don't particularly rate this one.
0:31:43 > 0:31:48- There's no great quality to it. - No. Well, it's just crudely carved, isn't it?- Yes.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51I've been to the Pitcairn Islands. It's a miserable rock in the middle of nowhere.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- What's your estimate?- £10, £20. - OK, I think that's fair enough.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58They paid £35. What about these conch shell lamps?
0:31:58 > 0:32:02Yeah, I quite like these. It's a shame it's two rather than a pair.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Different seams, different bases.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06They'd look great with a light inside them,
0:32:06 > 0:32:09seeing the light through that relief carving.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11It's a nice object. I'd say £50 to £80.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13£40 paid. They'll be all right.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16I hope they should see a profit on that, small profit.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- And we've got these wacky cauldron pots by Doulton.- Yes.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21They scream Royal Doulton, don't they?
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Edith Beard, I think, the artist inscribed EB.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Great condition, which is absolutely vital.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Nice examples I can see selling for £80 or so as a single item,
0:32:30 > 0:32:35so the two of them together, I think 120, 180.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37OK, that's positive. £135 for the pair.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42To find a pair like that in brilliant condition in a retail environment is quite good.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- I think that's a good buy.- Excellent.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Well, I don't think they're going to need their bonus buy,
0:32:48 > 0:32:50but let's have a look at it anyway.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55- Now, Avril, Pat, you spent, you darlings, £210, yes?- Yes.- Yes.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59You gave £90 to our Henry. What did you spend it on, Henry?
0:32:59 > 0:33:03- I hope it's something good. - Are you excited?- Yes! Definitely.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05- What do you think to this? - BOTH: Oh.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- A little bit short. - Well, have a look at it anyway.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- Can I ask what we're supposed to do with it?- It's a collectible.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17There's lots of people out there that collect corkscrews.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Any idea what sort of age? - With a shaving brush on the end? - Shaving brush!
0:33:20 > 0:33:24It would depend what time you got up in the morning, wouldn't it?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27That brush is known as the butler's brush.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- You use it to get the cork off the bottle.- Oh, I see!
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Any ideas about the age of it?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- Well, it's jolly old, that's for sure.- 1800s?
0:33:35 > 0:33:40- It's going to be 1820, 1830, that sort of period.- Really?
0:33:40 > 0:33:42That confused me.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Well, it would, wouldn't it? Because that is made of badger's brush.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49If the butler needed a close shave in the morning, he could have a quick whip-up.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51- It's rather nice, isn't it? - Yes, it is.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55- It's in good condition for its age. - The big question is... - What did you pay for it?
0:33:55 > 0:33:59What would you pay for it?
0:33:59 > 0:34:03I have no idea but I would imagine somewhere around £40-£50.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- 50 or 60.- We're on the right sort of wavelength.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- I paid £35 for this. - Is that all?- Really?- Oh, gosh!
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- £35.- I would have though you'd make a little bit on it,
0:34:13 > 0:34:15if you get the right person there.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19- It's a collectible.- Yes.- I think that's the way the market's moving.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21I wouldn't be surprised if it made £40 or £50.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25Well, Henry, that's successful. Let's find out for the viewers
0:34:25 > 0:34:27what the auctioneer thinks of Henry's corkscrew.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33- There we go, Simon.- OK, nice 19th-century bone corkscrew.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Bone rather than ivory. You can see the flecks here.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40Pretty good condition. You can see the worm here, nice and long.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Sometimes they've been broken off.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45And very collectible corkscrews are.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- Very strong market. - A lovely thing, I think. Estimate?
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- £30, something in that region. £25-£35.- Is that all?
0:34:52 > 0:34:53I think so, yeah.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56We might get a little more if we get a corkscrew collector
0:34:56 > 0:34:58but there are better examples.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Our Henry paid £30 for that. I quite rate it.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03He's made a pretty good buy, there.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08I'd be disappointed if it didn't make £60-£80 - one in that nick.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- See what happens.- We'll see what happens on the day.- Yep.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23- So, girls, happy?- Yes.- Yes. - Which will bring the best profit?
0:35:23 > 0:35:27I think the horns look like the coolest thing in this room.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28They must be.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- Your horns look like the coolest thing in this room.- Yes.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35It's quite a nice description. Well, you paid £60.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37The auctioneer loved them, he has put £50-£80 on them.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- That's good! - So, in the right frame.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43And, quite frankly, if you're in the market
0:35:43 > 0:35:46for two enormous horns like that, this is the place to buy them.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Not going to find better, not around here.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Anyway, first up are the enormous horns and here they come.
0:35:51 > 0:35:57624, then, is the large pair of horns being shown there. Lot 624.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00£50 for this lot. £50.
0:36:00 > 0:36:0440 to start me. £40. 40 bid. Thank you. At £40. 45 now.
0:36:04 > 0:36:10- At £40. 45? At 45. 50. - I don't believe this.- At £45.
0:36:10 > 0:36:15- 50 anywhere? At £45, all done? - Oh, no, girls.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17How disappointing!
0:36:17 > 0:36:21- Minus £15.- He sold them, though! - He sold them?
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Were you worried they wouldn't sell?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26OK, here come the garden bowls.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30625. Jean Jacques & Son. Set of eight lignum vitae bowls
0:36:30 > 0:36:32with the original ceramic jack.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36£20 for this lot. 20 anywhere? 20, thank you. 22 now then.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41- At £20 only.- This is like walking through porridge, isn't it?
0:36:41 > 0:36:4522 anywhere? All done at £20 then?
0:36:45 > 0:36:49So sorry for you. £20 for that is minus 30. This is not right.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Now, the truncheon.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55Lot 626. Three commission bids here.
0:36:55 > 0:37:00Starting off at £22. 25 anywhere? At £22 with me. 25? 25? 28.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- 30. 32. 35.- Profit.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08- 32 with me then. - Profit! Profit!- 35 anywhere?
0:37:08 > 0:37:11At £32. All done at 32 then? Thank you.
0:37:11 > 0:37:17£32 is plus £2, which reduces your losses to only minus £43.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- I think we should go with the bonus buy.- I don't think we should.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- You're not going to go with his buy?- No.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Well, that is a huge relief all round.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30The decision was made, we're not going with the bonus buy,
0:37:30 > 0:37:33but we're going to sell it anyway and here it comes!
0:37:33 > 0:37:37Next lot, lot 630. Unusual piece here. It's a Japanese sumitsubo.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41Commission bids here with me at £30. 32 I can take in the room now.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46At £30 here with me. 32. 35. 38. The lady's bid at £38. 40 now?
0:37:46 > 0:37:50At £38. 40 for anyone? All done at £38?
0:37:50 > 0:37:57The lady's bid. Sale in the room at £38. All done at 38? Thank you.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01So that's two short of 40, which is 55, minus 57.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06So, never mind you didn't go with it. It matters not a jot.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09You preserved your score at minus £43, which could be a winning score,
0:38:09 > 0:38:11so don't say a word to the Blues.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- You never know. - Not a word to the Blues.- Not a word.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- Now, Patricia, you bought the pipe rack from Pitcairn, yes?- Yes.
0:38:26 > 0:38:31You paid £35. The auctioneer's estimate is £10-£20.
0:38:31 > 0:38:36- Oh.- That's not so good, is it?- No. - No. Avril?- Yes?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- You went with the conch shell cameo lamps, yes?- Yes.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42You paid £40 for those. You go to the top of the class
0:38:42 > 0:38:45because the auctioneer has estimated £50-£80 on those.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- Oh, good!- That's good, isn't it? - That's encouraging.
0:38:47 > 0:38:52So, with luck, you'll make back what Pat has just lost on her pipe rack.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- Oh, well, that's fair enough. - I'll hang my head in shame!- I think you two are in clover today.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01Anyway, first up is the pipe rack from Pitcairn and here it comes.
0:39:01 > 0:39:06650 is the hardwood pipe rack. A Pitcairn Island item.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Lot 650. £20 for this lot. £20. 20?
0:39:10 > 0:39:15£10, then. 10 is bid. Thank you, at £10. 12 anywhere now then?
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- At £10. 12 for anyone? At £10.- Uh-oh.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22Maiden bid of £10. 12 anywhere? All done at £10 and selling.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26- Thank you.- Did he say £10? That's a disgrace. Minus 25.
0:39:26 > 0:39:32651, then. Two 20th-century conch shell cameo lamp globes. Lot 651.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- Now, conch!- £40 for this lot.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38- 40 to start me.- Stand by, Avril.
0:39:38 > 0:39:4230. £30 anywhere?
0:39:44 > 0:39:49- 20 is bid. At £20.- Cheap!- 22. 25. 28. No?
0:39:49 > 0:39:52£25. You're sure?
0:39:52 > 0:39:5428. 30. 32.
0:39:54 > 0:39:59No? At £30. 32 now. At £30. All done at £30?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02I'm selling at 30 then. Thank you.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04£30 only he sold them for. Minus 10 on that.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- Uh-oh.- 652 then.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11A pair of Doulton three-handled salt-glazed stoneware cauldrons.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Lot 652.
0:40:13 > 0:40:19£100 start me on this lot. £100. Pair of them there. 100. 100.
0:40:19 > 0:40:25No? 80 to start me then. £80. Thank you. 85 now. 85. 90.
0:40:25 > 0:40:2795. 100.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29110.
0:40:29 > 0:40:35- Getting there.- At £100. All done at 100? 110 anywhere?
0:40:35 > 0:40:37At £100 then.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Thank you.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- Way under his estimate! - That's terrible! That's dreadful!
0:40:42 > 0:40:46- I'm going to cry!- That's awful!
0:40:46 > 0:40:49- Oh, I'm really disappointed. - So, what are you going to do?
0:40:49 > 0:40:52- Go with the corkscrew? - BOTH: Yes. We might as well.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57- Might as well sink.- You are? Well, that's a sound move. Here we go.
0:40:57 > 0:41:03656 then. The corkscrew turned bone handle with brush, lot 656.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07£30 for this lot. £30?
0:41:07 > 0:41:10I'll start on commissions at 20. 22 now in the room.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14- At £20 here. 22 anywhere? At £20. 22 for anyone?- Worth more than that!
0:41:16 > 0:41:18£22. Commission bids out.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21At £22. 25 anywhere? At £22.
0:41:23 > 0:41:28- Thank you.- Minus £8 on that, so that is minus £78.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Well, girls, it could be a winning score.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Clearly not our day today.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Definitely not. Bread and marge tonight!
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Dear, oh dear, oh dear.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Well, it's no secret to the teams
0:41:54 > 0:41:59- that the water in the auction room today was not running down your gutters, was it?- Definitely not. No.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03It was disappointing results all round, I'm afraid.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07But on this programme we have to have winners and runners up.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10And the runners up today are the Blues.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- Which is really tough for you to take, isn't it?- Very much.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15- You are so competitive, Avril. - I know. We tried.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19And, Patricia, I don't know what to say, really. I could cry for you.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23If only I could find one item you made a profit on.
0:42:23 > 0:42:28Just a close profit! But, sadly, it wasn't today, was it?
0:42:28 > 0:42:30- No, I'm afraid not. Can we come back?- Of course you can.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34- Any old time. Come back tomorrow. - I'll get the hang of it by then.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Well, it's been brilliant having you. Thank you.
0:42:37 > 0:42:42The victors today, who win by only managing to lose £43, are the Reds.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46Which is a miracle, isn't it? And you did actually make a real profit.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50The only team to make one profit on one item today was the Reds
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- and they managed to make £2!- Yes!
