0:00:04 > 0:00:09Today, we're on the island of Anglesey, off the North Wales coast.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14Apparently, one million people visit this place every year
0:00:14 > 0:00:15to enjoy its delights,
0:00:15 > 0:00:19which is exactly what we're going to do in just a second.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23Right now, though, let's go bargain hunting! Yeah.
0:00:52 > 0:00:58Anglesey is said to be the last refuge of the Druids from the Romans.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Well, there's one thing for certain,
0:01:00 > 0:01:04there'll be no refuge for these stallholders
0:01:04 > 0:01:06from our contestants today.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Do you fancy a sneak preview?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13The Reds resort to magic to get the best deal.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Repeating it now. Over and over.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19I'm going through the deck in my mind while we're doing this.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Isn't that cheating?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23While the Blues seem to be hearing voices.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Just try and find a piece of silver that sings.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- And we take it up to the wire at the auction.- Yes!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33That is just marvellous, isn't it?
0:01:33 > 0:01:34All that is coming up,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37but, first of all, let me remind you of the rules.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Each team gets 60 minutes
0:01:39 > 0:01:43to find three items, which they take away
0:01:43 > 0:01:47and sell later at auction and, hopefully, make a profit.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50The team that wins that makes the most profit or the least losses.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55Right, let's go and meet the jolly old teams, shall we?
0:01:57 > 0:02:01So on today's show, we have married couple Rob
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- and Rowena for the Reds. How do you do?- Very well.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08- And good mates Tracey and Janet for the Blues. Hi, girls.- BOTH: Hi.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Lovely to see you. Now, Rob, how did you to meet?
0:02:11 > 0:02:19We met originally ten, 15 years ago at the pagan camp that Ro's dad organised.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Really?- Yes. - What goes on at a pagan camp?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26This one was a May Day celebration, so lots of people coming together
0:02:26 > 0:02:32to dance around maypoles and drink and eat and share good times together.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Lovely.- Yeah, great.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- So are you a pagan yourself? - Yes, yes.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41I spent ten years studying and practising Druidry
0:02:41 > 0:02:47and have continued on into other areas, but, yes.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50So what do you know about antiques? Lots, then?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Um, not as much as I should, but my interest comes
0:02:53 > 0:02:56more from finding things that tell stories,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59things that have a tale to be told around them
0:02:59 > 0:03:01and to use them in the work I do.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02What work do you do?
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- I'm a magician and hypnotist. - Are you?- Yes.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Does that mean you are a member of the Magic Circle? - Not yet. It scares me.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Oh, does it?!
0:03:11 > 0:03:13What's scary about the Magic Circle?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16It's the thought of having to perform in front of magicians
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- to get the thumbs up. - Oh, I see.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- I can perform in front of 1,000 people. Three magicians... - Very interesting.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26I'd never thought about it like that. So Ro, what do you do, darling?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I'm a sales manager, accounts manager,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I work with an environmental business network
0:03:32 > 0:03:34promoting local sustainability.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39- Is that good fun?- It is. I enjoy the banter with the customers
0:03:39 > 0:03:43and bartering the prices up rather than down.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44From the other side today.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47You don't do anything on stage in the magic shows?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I haven't got my sparkly leotard out yet.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53So how do you think you will get on today, Rob?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Brilliantly. I am feeling good about it, really positive.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- We work well as a team. - Yeah, we do.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- And you're going to spend the lot, are you?- Ooh, no.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06- You're not? You're going to be coy and careful.- Possibly.- We'll see.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Anyway, welcome. So, Janet. How did you two meet?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12We met at a post office in Hampshire.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I was living in Hampshire, a place called Four Marks,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18and was looking for a job and Tracey was the sub-postmistress
0:04:18 > 0:04:23who advertised for the post, so we became very good friends in the process.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Isn't that nice?- Yes. - What do you know about antiques?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Not an awful lot. I like what I see -
0:04:29 > 0:04:32it sings to me and calls my name, and goes, "Janet, come and buy me."
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- Does it?- Oh, yes.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Does this happen often?- Yes. I'm the impulsive one.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Tracey is the steady, reliable one.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Well, you're the sub-postmistress. - Former sub-postmistress.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46I mean there is a very steady job.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50I go into my sub-post office, the complexity of what you have to do
0:04:50 > 0:04:55in that job in the way of forms, stamps, bits of paper, it's incredible.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58It is, yes, there is an awful lot to it.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- How do you think you'll get on as a bargain hunter? - LAUGHTER
0:05:01 > 0:05:05I think... Yeah. Janet's very good at spending money,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I'm good at not letting her spend money.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Between the two of us... - She's pure Yorkshire, you see.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12This is what it is.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Is that going to stand you in good stead today
0:05:14 > 0:05:17when looking out over this ocean of treasures?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Without a doubt, without a doubt.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Especially if there's a tea shop round the corner.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25I don't know whether you will be able to spend your £300 on tea,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27but, anyway, here comes the £300.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- There's your £300. - Thank you very much.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31You know the rules.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Your experts await and off you go and very, very good luck.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Well, well, I've never met a Druid before.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Offering a guiding hand to our teams today,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45we have a pair of experts waiting in the wings.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49The Reds are relying on the magic touch of bold-as-brass Anita Manning.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54And Jonathan Pratt is keen to make a good impression on the Blues.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55So vain!
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I can't believe you're a magician.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I hope you're going to work some magic today.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04And you could be the glamorous assistant.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06I like Moorcroft and ceramics.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11So I'd like to find something that's got that quality that really sings to me.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I think find something shiny, sparkly, that's going to attract
0:06:14 > 0:06:18loads of people at the auction house and sell for lots of money.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20She knows exactly what she wants.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24There's loads to see. Let's dive in and see what we can find.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Let's get going.- Brilliant stuff.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- They're off already. Look. - HE CHUCKLES
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- I like those plates. - I hate them.- No, yeah.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42That's fair enough.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Carry on looking here? - Move on, I think.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Ladies, I quite like these as a pretty, fashionable sort of thing.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03It's six bowls.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05But it's Swansea pattern, OK,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09so it's copying 18th-century Swansea porcelain.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12It's part of a dessert service and, frankly,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14most dinner and tea wares are cheap.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19But I think that's a fashionable... I see the reactions on your face.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20It's just part of a service.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25Six bowls for dessert. And he said he'd do it for £12.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Yeah.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30So that's £2 a bowl. You go to a department...
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I paid £4 a bowl for breakfast bowls.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34So it's quite cheap.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37You can, in a dresser, put them up. They're traditional 18th-century.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42You're not going to get £40 or £30 for them,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45but what I'm saying is it's the sort of thing that is a safe buy,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- not a great investment.- Yes.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51If you get 10, 15, then you're on a way to making a little profit
0:07:51 > 0:07:53and you have confidence to go on with.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55But I'll hand them over. Have a look at them.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- If you don't buy, them he'll be disappointed. - THEY LAUGH
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I'm feeling pressure. I feel we need to buy something.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- It's not bad for £10, is it, Martin?- £10! £12.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- You are a robber, Jonathan! - We'll take them. Thank you.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Nice try, JP, but the price agreed was £12.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17I hope you're going to let your team have a say over what they buy.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20It can be overwhelming, coming into a place like this.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23There's a lot to see and the lights
0:08:23 > 0:08:27and I suppose there's apprehension about what you want to buy.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32Um, I think I'm sort of helping them into it more than I'd normally like to.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34He's lovely, isn't he?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36And didn't cost us much.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Thrifty Tracey is keeping an eye on the dosh,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43but Rowena's has been caught by something.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Bright and colourful. I like it.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Does she like all that colour?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Colour, shining and sparkling. - It's happy.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56- I think she's a colourful character. - Definitely. Definitely.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00OK, feast your eyes on that and tell me what you like, but, remember,
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- we've got to think about price and making a profit, as well.- OK.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- I'm liking this one.- The orangey one?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Shall I get that?- Yeah, yeah.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Let's have a look.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16So we've got Clarice Cliff.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- This is a later plate.- Yeah.
0:09:18 > 0:09:24It's made by Wedgwood and it is in the Bizarre pattern.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I think that's very nice and I think that it's appealing.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32I think that, at 33, it might be a bit dear,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35but if you can get it from between 20 and 25,
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- you might have a chance of making a profit in the auction.- Yes?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Yes.- Shall we have a go at that?- Yes?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Yes, well, its Wedgwood, it's a Clarice Cliff design.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50All the information is on the back.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- And so is the price.- Is there anything we can do on that?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Yes.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- What about 28?- Oh! Any better?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Go on.- I thought you were going to say that.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03How about 20?
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- We're having to sell it in auction. - Yes, yes, I know.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I would prefer 25, more or less in the middle.
0:10:10 > 0:10:1222 and you've got a deal.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- 24 and I've got a deal.- Oh!
0:10:15 > 0:10:16What do you think?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20I'm admiring your battling skills already.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21LAUGHTER
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- ROB: 23. - In the middle.
0:10:24 > 0:10:2823, will you go to 23? Please!
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- DEALER: Oh, go one then. - Fabulous.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32That's wonderful. Thank you very much.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Nice haggling, Ro-ro.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37It's certainly bright and colourful.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Do you like modern glass?
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- I do.- Yeah.- Do you like the vase at the top there. The red one?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- You know Mdina.- Yes.- Maltese glass?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48I've bought loads of those in the past.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49I really like them
0:10:49 > 0:10:54and it's quite unusual, because it's got this drizzled glass covering.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56They said they had a good day yesterday,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59so, "Right, surely you could knock a few things down!"
0:10:59 > 0:11:03So they could almost do that at half price. Have a look at it. I don't want to push you.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06But that's the sort of thing glass-wise I'd be looking at.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11- See what you think.- You're a glass person.- You can always come back. Go on have a look.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Sounds to me like you're taking over again, Jonathan Bossy Boots.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Anita's at it, too.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21- There's something I'd like to show you and it's just up here.- OK.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I'm wondering if Rob might like it.
0:11:24 > 0:11:30- If I...- Oh!- ..wobbled this wand, what do you think of that?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- I really like that, actually.- Oh, yeah.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38We're in Wales and Wales is the land of song and this is
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- a chorister's baton. It could double up as a magician's wand. - Absolutely!
0:11:42 > 0:11:47- Very easy.- It might just for us. - I think so. I like it.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I think it might be quite nice to buy it.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- It is lovely.- It is lovely. - She's a great haggler.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Do you want to bargain, or do you want to send your beautiful assistant?
0:11:56 > 0:12:01- Do you want to? - I think maybe you should try and work some magic with it.- Completely.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I've got 28 on it. OK.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Yes. Er, 25?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Oooh. 20.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11I could do 20.
0:12:11 > 0:12:18- 20 sounds good.- Yes?- 20's good. - OK, then.- Excellent. Thank you very much.
0:12:18 > 0:12:24Hm. That was suspiciously easy. Did Rob hypnotise her, or something?
0:12:24 > 0:12:2812 minutes, two items, what a team.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32The Reds are on a roll, so the Blues have got some catching up to do.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37- I quite like the colour. Feel it.- Oh, gosh, it is heavy isn't it?- Yes.
0:12:37 > 0:12:43- What age is it?- Late 1970s and early 1980s.- Right.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Mdina orange. I do like it.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- How much is on it? 48.- £48!
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Send in the postmistress. - Do your best voice.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00- I could do it for 24 for you. - Could you?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- 24.- Yeah.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Would you take 20 for it?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- No, I got it for £48. 24.- Yeah? OK.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Yes, you like it?- I do like it. - It's your buy.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16OK. Thank you.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- We've got a good price for it. - Have you actually said you'll have it?
0:13:19 > 0:13:24- That's number two. So how much for?- 24.- £24. Very good.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28I think you chose that vase, didn't you Jonathan?
0:13:28 > 0:13:33It's completely down to you now. I am only going to give you advice.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34LAUGHTER
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Huh, a likely story.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I told them to buy the last object themselves.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I'm a little bit nervous about that now.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I'm quite sure you don't need to be, JP.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46It's amazing what you can find at these fairs.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Look what I've stumbled across.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Most these antiques fairs are crammed with ceramics,
0:13:53 > 0:13:58but it's not so often that you come across a pot that looks like this.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Handsome, isn't it?
0:14:01 > 0:14:06The first thing that ought to draw your eye is the extremely luscious colour scheme.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Look at that gorgeous mottled blue.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15This is a type of maiolica ware, made by Mintons,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19and it is Britain's greatest contribution, strangely enough,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22to the Art Nouveau movement.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25You think of Art Nouveau and you think of France.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30Well, Minton, just at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries,
0:14:30 > 0:14:35produced a range of wares called tube-lined maiolica.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Now, tube lining is rather like icing a cake.
0:14:39 > 0:14:46You get one of those cake ices bags and you fill it with a molten clay.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50There's a little orifice on the end and you squeeze the bag
0:14:50 > 0:14:52and out comes a little squitter.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57And that green line is the squitter of clay.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01You then fill inside the squitter with a colour
0:15:01 > 0:15:03and move on to the next section.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06All of the swags, all the tall, organic roots,
0:15:06 > 0:15:11which seem to grow from the bottom of the vase
0:15:11 > 0:15:15are all outlined with this tube-lined process,
0:15:15 > 0:15:21which is very labour intensive and actually liable to damage.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25But, joy of joy, this Minton tube-lined pot,
0:15:25 > 0:15:32made in about 1902, 1905, something like that, is absolutely perfect.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37What's it worth? Well, here in Wales, you can have it for £200.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39What might it bring somewhere else?
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Probably not a lot more, maybe between £200 and £400,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45but there's definitely a profit in it.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49I wonder if the same will apply to our team's purchases?
0:15:49 > 0:15:53'And profits are the order of the day for our teams.'
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Dive in now. There's no pressure. No pressure.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Guys! We've only spent 40-odd quid and got two items.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04I think we should splash out a bit now.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- Do you want to spend big?- Yes.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Spend big, make big.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Remember what Jonathan was saying about leaving the Blues to it?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I picked this up because I like strong design,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19I think it's probably one the things that makes things sell really well.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23This, I don't know what you describe it as, but you've got this
0:16:23 > 0:16:27bronze figure and this on the top is the gymnast doing a tumble of sorts.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29And the trophy on the front,
0:16:29 > 0:16:34the presentation, put it down as a competition between
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Canada, hammer and sickle, Russia. But it's bronze.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39The other thing is, it's not signed.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43They're saying is possibly by... If you find out who it's by, it might be worth £300.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46If it's by someone that someone says, "That's his work
0:16:46 > 0:16:47"and that's really good."
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- That's what I think about it, what do you think? - I absolutely love that.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I think it's fabulous. The shape is amazing.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57I would actually have that in the house. I think it's fabulous.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- It's pretty classy.- Beautiful, yes. Really, really lovely.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03The fact is it's bronze and not smelter, as well.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- You can still turn round and ask for a discount. - Yes, of course we well.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08It's not silver. You wanted silver.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11It's not silver. It's OK, I'll get my paints out.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Your decision.- No, I like it. I think it is very stylish.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I did say I was going to leave it all down to you.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Now I've just done it again. - Never mind, eh?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23See what you think. You have plenty of time. We could come back.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Jonathan is leaving it all up to the girls,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29but will they ignore his advice?
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- If we look in the box, we have a writing slope.- Mm-hm.
0:17:33 > 0:17:39And it's the type of thing you would take when you went travelling
0:17:39 > 0:17:41on your Grand Tour in Europe.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45You have the ink wells here, you have this pen tray.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49If you look under here, this is where you'd keep your letters
0:17:49 > 0:17:52and other bits and pieces.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54The price is 165.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58It also has the original key, so that's another plus for it.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03- But if you look at that, isn't it just...?- It's exquisite. - It's perfect.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05DEALER: I could do it for 150.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Would you be willing to go down a bit more
0:18:08 > 0:18:12if my magician here performed a trick for you?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Magic the price down a little bit more?
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- He doesn't look convinced, but he could be a Druid. - It wouldn't go down an awful lot.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- This I must see. - Just say stop for me, very quickly.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Stop.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Fabulous, take the card, have a look at it. Marvellous.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I'll put those there.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Just have a look at it
0:18:30 > 0:18:35and once you've had a look, place it down on the deck for me.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- That's marvellous. - I'll put it on your box.- On our box! Yes.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Wonderful. If I can take your arm, just rest it on mine, just like that.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I want you to say the card in your mind over and over again.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Just keep saying it, repeating it, repeating it over and over.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51I'm going through the deck in my mind whilst you're doing this.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58- OK, thank you. Seven of hearts. - It certainly is- It is?- Is it?
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Let's have a look.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- Yes.- How did you do that?- Well..
0:19:03 > 0:19:05How much has Rob's magic saved the team?
0:19:05 > 0:19:09I'll do 145. That's the very best.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Hm. Not so much then.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- Was that worth the extra fiver? - SHE LAUGHS
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Yes?- Yes.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Well that's three items bought. - Fantastic.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23It's good.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- You guys don't hang about, do you? - No.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27LAUGHTER
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- I'm happy with all of your items. - Excellent. Thank you.- Well done.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Thank you.- You did it all.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Well, they said they wanted to spend big.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38So the Reds have pulled one out of a hat
0:19:38 > 0:19:41and finished with time in hand.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42How are the Blues getting on?
0:19:42 > 0:19:46I don't know. It's a case of I'll know it when I see it.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Nothing's singing to you, Blues?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Maybe not.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52SHE LAUGHS
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- It's got noughts on the end of it. - Yes.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- I know, I just found something that was 895.- Ooh! None of that.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Nothing to see here. Walk on. Nothing to see.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Spendthrift Janet is struggling to part with the money.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15The bronze it is. Yes. Come on.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- Go and deal it.- Thank you!
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Hiya, we're back!
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Hello.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26Yes, we do want it, please. What's the best price you can do on it?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- 65.- I think that's fair. It's nice.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34I think it's just a quality object and £65 seems a fair price to me.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37There is a lot of work in it. Yes? We'll take it, thank you.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42Right, no need to stop clock as the teams have already finished.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Let's take the time to remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Rowena showed her haggling colours
0:20:47 > 0:20:52and paid £23 for this reproduction Clarice Cliff plate.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- A colourful woman likes this colourful plate.- I think so.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59The ebony and silver-plated baton is just wizard
0:20:59 > 0:21:03and Rob mysteriously persuaded the dealer to sell it to him
0:21:03 > 0:21:04for only £20.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05But, despite his best efforts,
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Rob's magic didn't do the trick with this dealer
0:21:08 > 0:21:14and they hand to hand over £145 for the Victorian writing slope.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15Wow.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Well, well, that's handsome, isn't it?- Isn't it just?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Are you happy with your three objects?- Very happy. Really good.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25And how's Anita been for you? All right?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Magic. LAUGHTER
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Magic. How corny is that? OK, so what did you spend overall?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35£188, I believe.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39You spent 188. Who has the £112 of leftover lolly.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41I look after the cash.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46- Oh, yes? Here we go. - There's the two. - There's a bit more magic.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47ROWENA LAUGHS
0:21:47 > 0:21:52The money goes over in safe and reliable hands to Anita Manning.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53what are you going to do with?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I don't know. Buy another box of tricks!
0:21:56 > 0:21:57LAUGHTER
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- Were you taken in by all that? - Yes.- He's got me, too.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Anyway, have a good time, have a nice cup of tea. Good luck, Anita.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Why don't we check out what the Blue team bought.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09At two pounds apiece,
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Jonathan persuaded the Blues that these six modern Wedgwood bowls
0:22:13 > 0:22:15wouldn't break the bank,
0:22:15 > 0:22:17or should that be post office? Ha!
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Tracey kept a tight hold on the readies
0:22:19 > 0:22:23and got Mdina-style ruby vase for half price. £24.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25And Janet finally splashed some cash
0:22:25 > 0:22:29on this bronze sculpture of a gymnast, bought for £65.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Will it prove money well spent?
0:22:34 > 0:22:39- Let's see if you can build your muscles up with that. - It can join the team!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42That is a lump, girls. How exciting.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Have you had a nice time, Trace? - Yes, a great time, thank you.- Good.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Which is your favourite piece? That? - Absolutely. I would take it home.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52We've got to prise it out of her hands to take it to auction!
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Which is your favourite?
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- Um, for think of value of money the plates.- Right.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02- But the glass. I like the colours in the glass. - What will bring the biggest profit?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- The plates.- Is it?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- What did you spend all round? - £101.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11- 101. Almost like a bingo call. 101. - Room 101!
0:23:11 > 0:23:15OK, can I have 199 of leftover lolly, please?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Quite complicated with you and your lovely trophy.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22That's OK, JP. What are you going to buy? Any idea?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24The ladies said they like silver
0:23:24 > 0:23:26and we've not managed to buy any,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28so I might look at some silver, maybe.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32But I want to make money and it's got to be right, so you never know.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34In your capable hands.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Meanwhile, I'm heading off to Eastnor Castle and at it's fab.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49The size and splendour of a country house was often used
0:23:49 > 0:23:57to illustrate the fortune and vigour of the family living within it.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01And Eastnor Castle here in Herefordshire is no exception.
0:24:01 > 0:24:08It was built by the first Earl Somers between 1810 and 1824,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11specifically with a view to catapulting his family
0:24:11 > 0:24:16into the highest echelons of the ruling classes.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20The earl employed the 29-year-old architect Robert Smirke,
0:24:20 > 0:24:24who proposed building the house along the lines of a Norman keep
0:24:24 > 0:24:29to create the impression of a mediaeval fortress guarding the Welsh borders.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32In the aftermath of the French Revolution,
0:24:32 > 0:24:36this style was seen as an assertion of the power of the old guard
0:24:36 > 0:24:41and the symmetry of the design certainly emphasises authority.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Robert Smirke's references really work impeccable.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50He'd recently rebuilt Lowther Castle for Lord Lonsdale
0:24:50 > 0:24:53and in Lonsdale's letter to Lord Somers
0:24:53 > 0:24:56he says, "Mr Robert Smirke's management of the works
0:24:56 > 0:25:02"under his direction at this place, and his personal attention,
0:25:02 > 0:25:07"entitle him to every commendation it is in my power to give him."
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Which is a pretty good reference, isn't it?
0:25:10 > 0:25:15And of course Robert Smirke was renowned for his ability
0:25:15 > 0:25:18to produce a building to estimate.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20And here I've got the original estimate.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25And he breaks it down into sections.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Masonry, £13,000, for all this lot.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Carpenter, plumber, slater and smiths' works, £18,500.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Joiners, plasterers, painters and glaziers' works, £27,500,
0:25:37 > 0:25:42then you've got the terraces, the walls and the landscaping,
0:25:42 > 0:25:43that's another £6,000.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46And a further £17,000 for the stables
0:25:46 > 0:25:49and all the domestic offices.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Which totals £82,000.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Well, can you believe it?
0:25:54 > 0:25:58It took 15 years of hard labour,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01and what was the end bill for the whole lot?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Some £86,000.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06This man Smirke, he's a genius!
0:26:09 > 0:26:12The main building works were completed by 1820.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16But such was the enormity of the cost
0:26:16 > 0:26:19that the family decided not to incorporate, largely,
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Smirke's decorative scheme for the interior.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27It was simply costing far too much.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Anyway, the family must have been fed up,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32because they'd been living in the west wing
0:26:32 > 0:26:35for the previous seven years,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37the castle was still a shell,
0:26:37 > 0:26:39and they decided to finish the interior
0:26:39 > 0:26:44in a much plainer, and in fact, more medieval style.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48So what remains in the castle that actually was touched
0:26:48 > 0:26:50by the hand of Smirke?
0:26:50 > 0:26:57Well, the furnishings include this suite of oak seat furniture.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00And what Smirke has incorporated, surprise, surprise,
0:27:00 > 0:27:04is an enfilade of gothic pierced work.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06And then you've got a couple of rails
0:27:06 > 0:27:09interposed by stained fruitwood balls,
0:27:09 > 0:27:15and indeed, each of the feet have a ball foot.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20They are charming, and integral to the design of the castle.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23The big question today, of course, for our teams over at the auction,
0:27:23 > 0:27:27is it going to be frowns, or are we going to be "Smirke"-ing?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44It's lovely to be back in Knutsford,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47at Frank Marshall's saleroom, with Nick Hall. Good morning, Nick.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Welcome, Tim.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53First item is Rowena's, which is this reproduction plate.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Yes, it's a modern slant on Clarice Cliff.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- I think they bought the rights to the patents, didn't they?- Any good?
0:28:00 > 0:28:03OK. There's a bit of a slim margin for it. £10, £15.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06OK, £23 they paid, might not be so hot.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Next up is the silver mounted conductor's baton.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13They're nice when they have a plaque
0:28:13 > 0:28:16relating to a specific symphony or orchestra,
0:28:16 > 0:28:18or even a major show,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20much more sought after and valuable.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25But it is at the low end of collecting, still.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- What do you think it is worth, Nicholas?- We've put 30 to 50.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Oh, brilliant. They only paid £20. Pity it's in plate though.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- Can't have everything.- Quite right.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Now, what about this over-polished box?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Erm, possibly over-priced, as well.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Yeah, used to do fantastic trade, these Victorian boxes,
0:28:41 > 0:28:44writing slopes, jewellery boxes, all that sort of thing.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Obviously the market is not what it was, but it's a reasonable example.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- Nice veneers.- How much?- Well, £60, £80, is about its market worth.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Oof! There's a hit coming here. They paid £145 for this!
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- What, recently?!- Yeah! Last week!
0:28:59 > 0:29:02That is its retail price, absolutely right,
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- but to buy it with profit in mind?- Forget it.- Yeah.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08So, a bit of a loser with that, and they may have a loser
0:29:08 > 0:29:10with the Clarice Cliff lookalike.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Overall, they will need the bonus buy.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Let's have a look at it and hope for the best.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Now, you two love birds, you spent £188.
0:29:17 > 0:29:23£112 went to Anita Manning. What did you spend it on?
0:29:24 > 0:29:25Ooh!
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Ha-ha! A little bit racy,
0:29:28 > 0:29:32but I know Rowena loves the art deco period,
0:29:32 > 0:29:35and this figure is from that time, 1930s.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39The art deco period, they loved anything exotic,
0:29:39 > 0:29:41and a little racy.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Tell me what you think.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45It's very pretty. It's a good shape.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47So, a wee bit of restoration there,
0:29:47 > 0:29:49and obviously this base has been painted,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52this sort of silvery colour.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- So it's had a wee bit of... - ..pimping up!
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- Yes!- And you paid how much for it?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00- £75.- 75, OK.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03It's not going to fly into the hundreds,
0:30:03 > 0:30:06but I think, at 75, not too bad.
0:30:06 > 0:30:12- OK.- Team, think about it. Don't pick now, pick later, if you want to.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13But for the audience at home,
0:30:13 > 0:30:17let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of the art deco figure.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Here is something to titillate you.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21I'll be careful where I hold this, Tim.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Quite right, this is a family daytime show!
0:30:24 > 0:30:26What's happened to the top, then?
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Well, she is topless, in more ways the one, Tim.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Where do you get these lines?!
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- She's missing her shade. That's what you mean!- Yes, there should be
0:30:35 > 0:30:37a nice big globular glass shade on the top there,
0:30:37 > 0:30:40long-since missing, sadly, and it's plaster, not bronze,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42of course, importantly.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Yes. It's amazing that it's survived in that sort of nick then,
0:30:46 > 0:30:50because if that's plaster, one little tweak on that and that's...
0:30:50 > 0:30:52All over, yeah.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- What's your estimate? - Er, 60 to 100, as it's stylish.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Well, good for you, Anita paid £75,
0:30:58 > 0:31:01which is about spot on with that estimate.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02Anyway, we shall see.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04There you go, my dear, you sit down over there. Lovely.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Now, moving on, that's it for the reds, now for the blues.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10And first for Tracey and Janet,
0:31:10 > 0:31:12the six Swansea plates.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16It would have been nice if they were Victorian and hand-painted,
0:31:16 > 0:31:17then we could have got away with it.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21But second hand, 20th century? Just buy them to use them, really.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26Quite. And you've only got those oddball plates. So, how much?
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Reasonable quality, but not terribly collectable, £10, £20.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- Couple of pounds apiece? - Thereabouts.- That's what they paid.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Perfect. Good.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38£2 each. Next up is the vase. Your favourite.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42We've got a specific 20th century design section within the sale,
0:31:42 > 0:31:45so we'll have the target audience for it.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48It's not the best example of Maltese glass,
0:31:48 > 0:31:50but there is a market out there.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- One's got to start somewhere. - Absolutely.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54- Your estimate? - 20 to 40 for that one.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- £24 paid.- Good. - They're spot on in the middle.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02- Yeah.- And the last item Jonathan Pratt got really excited about,
0:32:02 > 0:32:05we're rather hoping you've had a chance to do a bit of research.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Stylish thing, bronze of course.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12When it came in there was a loose attribution to Gordon Lochhead,
0:32:12 > 0:32:14and we just questioned it.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17So actually we tracked down and phoned him, spoke to him.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19You rang old Lochhead up?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Well, we're diligent. Doing our homework, our research.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- Impressive! What did he have to say? - He said it wasn't him.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Ha! Really?
0:32:27 > 0:32:29But what he did tell us was fascinating.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33He thought he knew who the designer for this particular piece was.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37A lady called Steiger. So we tracked down and spoke to her, as well.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42Did you? And she confirmed that she was the sculptor?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Yeah. She knew and remembered the piece,
0:32:44 > 0:32:46and confirmed it as one of her designs.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Just as well it's not a very old piece,
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- you wouldn't have found them in a telephone book!- A Ouija board, then!
0:32:52 > 0:32:53Ha-ha! Quite!
0:32:53 > 0:32:58Anyway, so after all that work on your part,
0:32:58 > 0:32:59what's the estimate?
0:32:59 > 0:33:01After all the work we hope someone buys the thing,
0:33:01 > 0:33:03but we've put a wide spread, £100 to £200.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- Well, £65 was paid by Jonathan, so if you're right...- Yeah.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09And by virtue of your hard work
0:33:09 > 0:33:11you jolly well ought to be able to sell it,
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- so, we'll be rooting for you! - Good, thank you.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Cos depending on how that gets on will determine
0:33:17 > 0:33:20whether we need the bonus buy or not, so let's have a look at it.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24Tracey, Janet, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26It is, yeah. You only spent £101,
0:33:26 > 0:33:29you gave Jonathan Pratt £191,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32a small fortune by anybody's standards,
0:33:32 > 0:33:37- Jonathan, did you spend the lot? - Would you be disappointed if I did?
0:33:37 > 0:33:38- No!- Oh, no, look at that!
0:33:38 > 0:33:43Well, I didn't, I'm afraid. I bought a little silver broach.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46It's from Iona, the Scottish Island of Iona
0:33:46 > 0:33:49in the Northwest of Scotland. Again it's in the tradition
0:33:49 > 0:33:53of Arts & Crafts, which is very collectable. Scottish jewellery
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- of this type is very collectable, too.- OK, how much?
0:33:56 > 0:34:01£24, in my eye it's worth £40.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03- £25!- Yeah, yeah.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08I think there's a profit of £10 or £15, quite possibly.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Let's cross our legs, and for the audience at home find out
0:34:11 > 0:34:15what the auctioneer thinks about Jonathan's little brooch.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Now, there you go, Nick.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22Very delicately take that. Sweet little thing, isn't it?
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Isn't it nice? If you like Scottish jewellery it's just a peach.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29It's all the way from Iona, to Knutsford, it's Sterling silver,
0:34:29 > 0:34:32a nice design, you'd be forgiven for thinking
0:34:32 > 0:34:35it's the Arts & Crafts periods, it's got that look about it.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39- Certainly has. How much do you think it might bring?- £20 - £40.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43OK. £24. I thinks that's quite a sensible buy.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- We'll find out in minute, won't we? - Absolutely.- Absolutely.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50£45, I have.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55With you, sir. Sold. £45.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58So how excited are you two on a scale of one to ten?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00About twelve!
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Are you?- Definitely. - It's quite a moment, isn't it?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04You look out of this busy sale room
0:35:04 > 0:35:07and you just don't know what's going to happen.

0:42:01 > 0:42:04How good is that! Don't say a word to the reds, all right?
0:42:04 > 0:42:06No point in spoiling their day.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16- What excitement Have you been chatting you lot?- No.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18You haven't been chatting?
0:42:18 > 0:42:23It's just been so much fun, and the runners up, sadly, are the reds.
0:42:23 > 0:42:24Ah!
0:42:24 > 0:42:30Minus £1 is just so bad luck, isn't it?
0:42:30 > 0:42:34- When you've made profit, largely out of Anita.- Thank you!
0:42:34 > 0:42:36- Have you had a nice time?- Yes!
0:42:36 > 0:42:39We've loved having you on the show, you've been really good sports.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Brought some colour into our lives, which is lovely,
0:42:41 > 0:42:45- I hope you've enjoyed it.- Very much. - Good, But the victors today who
0:42:45 > 0:42:48go home with the unbelievable £220!
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Thank you, very, very much, Jonathan, for finding that bronze
0:42:55 > 0:42:58and thank you very much to the auction house for properly
0:42:58 > 0:43:01researching it and getting the buyers all lined up
0:43:01 > 0:43:03because it was a result, wasn't it?
0:43:03 > 0:43:07- This has been J Pratt's day, hasn't it?- It has.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09- Are you proud of him, girls? - We absolutely are.
0:43:09 > 0:43:15You go home with a wedge of cash. You're looking rather jealous!
0:43:15 > 0:43:18Not really, anyway, we've had such a good time.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?- Yes!
