0:00:03 > 0:00:06Today, we're in West Sussex.
0:00:06 > 0:00:11This region was famous in the old days for smuggling,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14bringing in contraband from all over Europe.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18But it's a different sort of booty that we're after today.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Oh yes! Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:49 > 0:00:51From the time of the Romans,
0:00:51 > 0:00:56Sussex has been at the front line of England's relationship with Europe
0:00:56 > 0:00:57and it's no different today.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01We've got local, national, and international dealers
0:01:01 > 0:01:05gathered for the Ardingly Antiques and Collectors fair.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09On today's show,
0:01:09 > 0:01:13the boys are trying to get their own way on the Blue team.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16An ashtray! Come on, Holly, what are we looking at here?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18I think these are different, aren't they?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20They don't do much for me!
0:01:20 > 0:01:21No, I don't like them.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25While the flirty Reds, think they've got it figured out.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Hello! It's our lovely ladies!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Can you call the police?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33LAUGHTER.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Hello! In our teams today...
0:01:37 > 0:01:39we've got Deborah and Lauren for the Reds,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42and Seb and Holly for the Blues.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Welcome everybody. Brilliant.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Now Deborah, you look more like sisters to me.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Is this true that you can really be the mother?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Yes?- You saucy rascal!
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Ooh, you saucy rascal!
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Yes.- You're very good friends, aren't you?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Yes, we are, we go out a lot together.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- We do lots of things together, so... - We're best friends.- Yes.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04What could be nicer?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07And what sort of things do you get up to, girls?
0:02:07 > 0:02:11We are rather keen on greyhounds. You go to the dogs a lot?
0:02:11 > 0:02:16We go sometimes but we're more keen on collecting them, having rescued greyhounds at home.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- They are lovely things, aren't they?- They are beautiful.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23I don't know what it is about the long legs on a Greyhound.
0:02:23 > 0:02:29- The grace of the beast.- They are like a woman, aren't they?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Spot-on I would say.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35So Lauren, what sort of job to do when you're not rescuing greyhounds?
0:02:35 > 0:02:40I work in a micro biology lab as a laboratory technician.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42My work involves nasty bacteria in yeast.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- Were you passionate about science when you were at school? - Yes. I have got a science degree.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I've always loved sciences since I was a child,
0:02:50 > 0:02:52always loved looking down a microscope.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57What are your tactics going to be today, girls?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00We are of the same school of thought as William Morris.
0:03:00 > 0:03:06- Having nothing in your house that's not beautiful.- Or practical.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09That is a very good motto, isn't it?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12And it didn't do William Morris any harm.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16That's going to be your plan. It's got to be beautiful, it's got to be practical
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- and it's got to be at the right price.- A bargain.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24Yes, I think you are going to do terribly well. Very, very good luck.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Now you two. Tell me about your discus throwing?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I have been doing athletics for about 10 years.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I am ranked second in great Britain, 22nd in the world.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- That is something to shout about. - It's not bad.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42It is something I am quite proud of.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I like train five days a week, I go to the gym four times a week.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50I do fitness training once a week and I also do throwing on top of that.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Hopefully, that will lead me to competing in the next Paralympics.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59We shall keep our eye open especially on this programme now that we've met.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Holly, you are doing a job connected with charity?
0:04:03 > 0:04:10Since I left university in 2010, I have been working in events
0:04:10 > 0:04:12so I put on music festivals for Oxfam.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16It was a national music festival but I ran the Brighton leg of it in 2010.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21Since then, we have been doing one-off events to raise money.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Do you know anything about antiques?
0:04:24 > 0:04:29Apart from me watching a lot of things like Bargain Hunt,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I think you can learn a lot by watching them.
0:04:32 > 0:04:38Of course you can, the whole nation knows more after watching a decade of Bargain Hunt.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40If you have been relying on our programme,
0:04:40 > 0:04:44I'd tell you, you are going to be just fine in today's competition.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48So fine that I feel I can lob out your £300 apiece.
0:04:48 > 0:04:54You know the rules, your experts await and in a moment, we're off.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58But not before we've met our experts.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Ready to bowl over any competition
0:05:01 > 0:05:04for the Blues is the smashing David Harper.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07There is no need to feel sad Reds,
0:05:07 > 0:05:11because you've got the ever-chipper Catherine Southon.
0:05:15 > 0:05:21- Debs, Lauren, this is terribly exciting! Are we going to spend a lot of money?- Hopefully!
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I like art deco style pottery, the bright colours.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- The big patterns.- Wonderful, love that. What about you, Holly?
0:05:26 > 0:05:30I'm going to look for some jewellery.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35- Have we got a plan?- Definitely. Um,...yes.- Have we?- Yes. - What's our plan?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37We have an expert and we're not afraid to use her.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39THEY LAUGH
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- So, you do have big plans. - Definitely.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45OK. They're all going to go wrong, starting now. Come on. One hour.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48'Ah. The voice of experience.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51'Now, anything taking your fancy, Reds?'
0:05:51 > 0:05:55- Truncheons! - 'Well, I wasn't expecting that.'
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Why the truncheons? - Because I've always loved them.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Could we have a look at your...truncheons?
0:06:01 > 0:06:02THEY LAUGH
0:06:02 > 0:06:04'Yes...'
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Sorry, I've got the giggles now. - 'I can't think why.'
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Can we just have a look at these little...?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Batons.- Batons.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Thank you.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18And how old are these?
0:06:18 > 0:06:191840s, 1850s.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- And how much is this one?- £120.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Oof!
0:06:24 > 0:06:28What would you be able to do your best on something like this?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30The absolute best would be £100.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32We'd struggle to make a profit.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36It's worth about £120, £130, but I'll sell it for £100.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I suppose that one is quite nice with the coat of arms on, isn't it?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Could you just knock it under £100? - £95?- OK.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- I'm not going to miss a fiver. - Thank you.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49That just gets it under, just to look a little bit more tempting.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Shall we think for five minutes? - Yes. We'll give it five minutes
0:06:52 > 0:06:55because we've only just started and, er...we'll be back.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- I like it. - I have to vouch for your judgement.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02It's got quite a lot going for it. There's a lot of information there.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04The lovely, um,...coat of arms, which...
0:07:04 > 0:07:08I think the more information you've got the better, really.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09I do quite like that.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13'While the Reds mull it over, how's Seb and Holly getting on?'
0:07:13 > 0:07:17That's quite nice, as a piece of glass.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- OK.- I don't know how modern that is, I'm not really sure.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Shall we have a look? What is it that you like about that?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I just like the blue going down to the green with...
0:07:26 > 0:07:29It looks quite chunky and sort of a big bit of glass.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- I just like the colour of it. - Have a hold of it.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35I quite like it, actually. I can see people having that in their house.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I can see it on a mantelpiece or a table.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Like in a modern home.- Exactly.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- What about this? - It's lovely.- What is it?
0:07:43 > 0:07:48Sextant. So it's a nautical navigation instrument.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53In perfect condition in a box, these sell for around £300.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- Wow! - But without a case, this would sell,
0:07:57 > 0:08:02probably, at auction, I would guess, for about £150, £100 - £150.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- How much is it?- I don't know.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Now, date-wise... - It's got Murano on it.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09OK. Tell me about Murano. You've watched this programme.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- How many pieces of Murano have appeared?- Loads and loads.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Italian glass from the island of Murano.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Perfect. Just off the coast of Venice.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- They've been making glass there for literally centuries.- OK.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25A couple of centuries ago, the islanders of Murano
0:08:25 > 0:08:29were training these glassblowers to a very high standard.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34But the deal was, if you wanted to be a glassblower on Murano,
0:08:34 > 0:08:35you could never leave.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39And if they caught you as you were trying to leave, you'd be executed.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Blimey! That's harsh.- Just a bit(!)
0:08:42 > 0:08:45The skills they taught you, they would die with you.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49So that's how important glassmaking was on the island of Murano.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- But they're still making it. - They're still making it.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55So dating it, Holly, is kind of difficult.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- But I would say by the colours, it's got to be '60s or '70s.- Right.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03'So that particular glassblower should be safe, at least.'
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- Oh, yes. Hello. - Hello. How much is your sextant?
0:09:07 > 0:09:12- Um,...it's got to be cheap at about £180, hasn't it?- Ooh!
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- That doesn't sound cheap.- Ooh!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18'Time to work your magic, girls.'
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- There's quite a few things that are wrong with it.- Right.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24It's obviously not in its case, it's missing an adjustment screw,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26which I don't think is a huge problem, but here,
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I'm pretty sure there would be like a pinhole site.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- So because of that... - You want to give me £200?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- No!- £30.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- Can you call the police? - 'No. But I can locate a truncheon.'
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Um, could you go under £100 for that?- Yes.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Yeah. Just couldn't go that low.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47If you can do £130, we've got a deal.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Could we have a think about that, sir?- You can always come back.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53We can always come back. We know where you are.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Last price, £110 if you want it. But that's it.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Can't do any better than that. - OK. That's very kind of you.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01If you find one cheaper anywhere in the market,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I'll refund the difference.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Right.- We've got that on camera, you know.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12'The ladies have coaxed out another offer to cogitate over.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15'The Blues are still deliberating, too.'
0:10:15 > 0:10:19I've got £40 on it, but I'll take £10 off.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I'll do it for £30. That's a good price.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I think it's certainly worth £30.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27And it should make £30 in auction, it really should. £20-£30.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30It might make a bit more, but it's not going to set the world on fire.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- It's a lovely colour. - It's a good colour glass.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I love the fact that you went for that.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Yes.- It's all about you two. - OK. What do you think?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42It's blue and we're the Blue team, so maybe it's a sign.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Yep, I think we'll probably...we'll go for that.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Wonderful. We'll have that. Thank you very much indeed.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51'Thank goodness! We finally have a purchase.'
0:10:52 > 0:10:54So that's one down to Seb. Holly, come on!
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I know. We need to find something.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- You've got to find it.- Yeah.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04'A few stalls down, our cheeky Reds are on a charm offensive.'
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Hello! It's us, lovely ladies.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09'Huh-huh-huh. They're back and they mean business!'
0:11:09 > 0:11:11We've come to look at the baton again.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- That one?- Mm.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- OK. There you go.- Thank you.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- It's the price that's the problem. - I think the price is fine.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- I've put it at the lower end of what it's worth.- It's up to you, ladies.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- They have crept up in value over the last four or five years.- Yes.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30But there's a recession on.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Not in the truncheon market.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I've never bought one before, so...
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Several very good collectors.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Well, how about £85? Would you be so kind...?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43No, I wouldn't take £85. I'll take £95. That is the absolute best.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- OK. I really like it, and... - You went for it straightaway.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Go with your instincts.- You did. - Yes.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Go with your gut instinct.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52- Yes.- £95.- OK. Marvellous.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Thank you very much. - OK. Thank you. Deal done.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Great! We have our first purchase, ladies!
0:11:58 > 0:12:00THEY CHEER
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- We've got a lot more work to do. - Definitely.- Come on.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06'Absolutely.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08'And talking of having your work cut out,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11'Holly's got a battle on to choose her item.'
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Oh, look, she's looking for blingy jewellery. Straight in.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Let's see what you're looking at.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- It's quite pretty, isn't it? - It is just costume jewellery.- Yeah.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Very bonny, but it doesn't really have any value.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- No.- No, not really.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- This one?- Yeah.- OK. Let's have a look at that.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Ooh, it's musical. - Oh, it's a musical box!
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- No great age to that.- No?- No.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I wouldn't trust that to be silver.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40They're quite different, aren't they?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- They don't do much for me. - No, I don't like them.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47An ashtray. Come on, Holly, what are we looking for here?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50'Are they ganging up on you, Holls? Well, you'd better watch out, Blues,
0:12:50 > 0:12:54'because half the shopping time's gone.'
0:12:58 > 0:13:02'Now, are the Reds still reeling in more unsuspecting stallholders?'
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- You've got two at the back and... - They're not the easiest things to sell.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- No.- Because... - Two little drawers here.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- He's not listening to me. - No, I'm not listening to you.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- We can think about it.- We're thinking about a few things now.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18THEY LAUGH
0:13:18 > 0:13:20We've got to make some decisions.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23If it goes to auction and it doesn't make more money, I'll put the rest to it.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Sadly, we can't do that, but that's a lovely idea.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Thank you. A kind gesture.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33'So, will Holly finally get to choose an item?'
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Come on, then, let's go and scout in here.- Yeah.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Holly, what do you like?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- There's a nice cameo in there. - Right.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- OK, Holly.- I think it's very pretty
0:13:43 > 0:13:46and I think it would go with lots of things. And it would be worn,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49rather than a lot of jewellery people buy and melt down.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- I can see people buying this to wear and enjoy.- Absolutely.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- And it's very elegant. - Shell. Is it shell?- It's shell.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58We've got a bit of an Italian theme going here
0:13:58 > 0:14:02because Italians are world-renowned for carving these cameos.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04What's the best on that one?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Never mind what's on it, give me the best trade price.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- £60.- £60.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I think that would estimate at £40-£60 in auction.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- So his price is absolutely right. - Yeah.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18What you have to take a chance on
0:14:18 > 0:14:21is are there going to be some people there.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- A dealer and a private buyer who fancy it.- Bid against each other.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I think this is the kind of thing that could sell online.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- I think we should maybe have a punt at that.- Yeah, I think it's worth going for.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- I love the idea of you getting yourself some jewellery.- Me, too.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Shall we have a go?- Let's have a go. - Good. Let's have a go.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Because time is really rolling on now.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- OK. £60?- Deal done.- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48'Yes, time is rolling on. And don't our teams know it!'
0:14:48 > 0:14:51I think the pressure's getting on a bit now.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53We've had 45 minutes, 15 minutes left.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56It's nerve-wracking. We've got one item and not much time left.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- We need to crack on.- It's scary!
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I think hopefully, we'll find something in the next stall or two.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07- Quickly get something, I think.- Yes. Head inside because it's freezing.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10'Come on, Reds, you've got some catching up to do.'
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Do you like bronzes, Catherine?- Yes.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17There's this one, which is quite lovely, I think.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19That is quite nice.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- That's £125. - That is lovely, isn't it?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Yes.- It's a lovely shape.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- There's no maker's name or anything. - I love that.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31It's very expensive, though.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Can you do it...? You know what's coming!
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Sorry. Let me get out of your way.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I'll do it for £100.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42That's still a lot.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44What's your kindest, kindest...?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- My kindest would be £90.- £80?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- No, I couldn't do £80. - How about £85?- All right, go on.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Yay!- Thank you. - I'll probably get done for that.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57I think with the wind behind him, he could actually do quite well.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Could we do £80? And then we're absolutely sorted on it.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Oh, go on. Just to get rid of it!
0:16:04 > 0:16:10- We have that effect! Yes, I'd say definitely!- OK, girls? - Cos that makes our...
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Thank you very much. That's really kind of you.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18So both teams are two down with one to go and barely minutes left,
0:16:18 > 0:16:23while the Reds prepare for their third purchase.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Ha-ha! What has Harper spotted?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- What do we think about a tea caddies?- I like that box.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- That's nice. - It's rather sweet, isn't it?
0:16:32 > 0:16:38- It's lacquered, so it's wood with a lacquer finish.- Very decorative.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- Is that gold leaf, do you think? - That's painted, isn't it? Yes.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47- OK.- I would say that is about 1840. - It's quite old then.- It's quite old.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52It's a proper antique. I think that in auction is £50 to £80.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56I'll ask what we can get it for. What could we get that for?
0:16:56 > 0:17:01- - Can I have a look? - 95 on there. - - Right. Erm... Yeah, £85.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I just feel it's a little bit... I don't know.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- Can we just keep it in reserve? Do you mind if we think about that? - Yeah, that's all right.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11We took a risk with the Cameo, so maybe...
0:17:11 > 0:17:16- But a good thing, so we might dash back and bag it if we need to. - Yeah, OK.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22A risky strategy, Blues. Five minutes left.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- What's that?- It looks like a gavel. - - It's salt and pepper.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Oh!
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Sweet! - - Have a look. The ends unscrew.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- It isn't silver.- No. I could tell that.- Hence the price.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- It's this end...- Yeah.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- I'm terribly excited by that. - That is lovely.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48- If you don't have it, I'm going to buy that.- What can you do on that? - Tell me what the ticket price is.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Erm...75.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56I'll do it... No other haggling, girls, cos I know how it works...
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I'll do it for 58.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02And that is the death.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Time to make some decisions, teams.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- Oh, I say!- That's nice!- Now then.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- German.- German. How do you know it's German?- It's on the label!
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Do you like that?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- I really like that.- It's lovely. - I really like that.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25- OK, so let's have a look at it. Is it actually silver?- I don't know. - You don't know. I don't know.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30- But I think it is. - I would imagine it is. But we can't sell it as silver.
0:18:30 > 0:18:36- The auctioneer won't, that's the thing.- White metal.- White metal. What's the price for us?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- The bottom price I'm going to sell it to you is £100.- £100.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43I think we might just lose our shirts on that one, to be honest.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Two minutes left.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- I love it.- I do, too. - I love it as well.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53- Definitely, we'll have that. - I don't think you can resist it.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- It's a real novelty thing.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00- And if it all goes wrong, you can blame me. What do you like now? - I just saw the frog.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Oh, hang on a minute.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- What's that? - - A cigar cutter. Little scissors.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- You have some brilliant things! You do!- I love quirky.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14- Oh, don't we just? - Aren't they brilliant? - And what are they made of?
0:19:14 > 0:19:19- I think they're Bakelite. - I think they are. - How much could you do those for?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- I'll do those for 60. And that is the death as well.- That's good.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26That's quite good. I've never seen one of those.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31- I would say that's quite rare. At the end of the day, it's what's going to make the most money.- Yes.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37I think the frog will, probably. That's rarer.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Although, I love that too.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- But we can't have both.- That's rare. - We can't have both.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43So what's it to be, girls?
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- OK.- So we'll go with the frog. - Mr Froggy.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Can you do 55, just to pinch?
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- On the cigar...? - On the frog there. Make us happy.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Delighted, in fact!- Go on. - Thanks. That's brilliant.
0:19:59 > 0:20:06- Thank you.- Thank you.- That's good. That's a bit of fun.- We cut that fine.- Well done, girls. Hug!
0:20:06 > 0:20:09# Sisters are doing it for themselves. #
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Well done, Reds.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Now, buck up, Blues.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19I think it's too chancy. I really do. Oh, my goodness me!
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- We've got 30 seconds, 29 seconds. - Let's go back to that tea caddy.
0:20:23 > 0:20:29- It's antique.- That's not going to be £20, is it? It's not! OK.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Go for the tea caddy.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Come on!
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Excuse me, that couldn't be 70, could it?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Not really. £85.- 85.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Let's go for it. We've got 15 seconds left.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Make the most of every second. Are you quite sure? Ten seconds.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Yes, let's go for it, 85. - Holly, five seconds?
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- We're going to have to, aren't we? - Let's go for it. We're done!
0:20:56 > 0:21:01- OK, that's it, we're done. Are you happy, Holly?- I'm happy.- Well done.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Blimey! Talk about cutting it fine! Time's up.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought, eh?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Deborah was very keen on this policeman's truncheon.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14They struck a deal at £95.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18The charmed the stallholder down to £80 on the bronze pheasant.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20And in the last two minutes,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23the Bakelite froggy leapt out at them for £55.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- Deborah, did you have a good time?- I've had a wonderful time.
0:21:27 > 0:21:33- Same with you, Lauren?- Yeah, brilliant.- Nice to go out with your mum and have a good old shop up, eh?
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- How did you spend all round? - 230.- That is such a good number.
0:21:37 > 0:21:44- There's only £70 of leftover lolly. Who's got that?- Me.- Thank you. Can I have it?- Certainly!- Double check!
0:21:44 > 0:21:50- Straight across.- Thank you. - Not so much to spend, but there's plenty here to choose from.- Yes.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- It might be a bit tricky, but I shall give it my best shot. Don't worry.- Thank you.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59I wonder if she's giving us a clue there - best shot? Maybe she's going to get a gun!
0:21:59 > 0:22:05We shall find out later. Why don't we remind ourselves what the blue team bought, eh?
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Seb picked up this Murano glass vase, which cost them 30 smackers.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Holly's choice was this Cameo brooch,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16but it cost them a pretty penny, at 60.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20And quite literally in the dying seconds,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23they plumped for the black tea caddy at £85.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26That must have been one of the closest finishes I've ever had.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31- One second to go, was it? So close! - You do love a close shave!- I do.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Living on the edge, Tim. That's me. - That's you, David.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- Did you have a nice time? - Really good.- I really enjoyed it.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- And what did you spend? - 175.- That is a mature amount.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47I'd like £125 of leftover lolly, if I may. Thank you.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51And hand over the money to David Harper. What are you going to find?
0:22:51 > 0:22:58I don't know, but I'm going to have some time. Someone has stolen an hour of my life in a nanosecond.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01It was unbelievable. I'm going to take my time.
0:23:01 > 0:23:07- Under considered judgment, no doubt. Big profits please.- I'll try!
0:23:07 > 0:23:14Meanwhile, we're heading off to the borders of Hampshire and Sussex to a gorgeous stately home.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21And the place in question is Stansted Park.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25An ancient estate, Stansted has had a number of distinguished owners
0:23:25 > 0:23:30over the years, but in 1924, Vere Ponsonby, the 9th Earl of Bessborough,
0:23:30 > 0:23:36purchased the property to house the family's collection of furniture and works of art.
0:23:36 > 0:23:43Stansted today contains those collections and is open to the public for us all to enjoy,
0:23:43 > 0:23:51enabling us to have not only a peek at the objects but also a little taste of the stories they tell us.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59The founder of the family fortunes was Sir John Ponsonby,
0:23:59 > 0:24:01who fought as Colonel of the Horse
0:24:01 > 0:24:06under Cromwell and was given an estate in Ireland for his labours.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09And in this painting, we have an image
0:24:09 > 0:24:14of William Ponsonby, Second Earl and, and Sir John's great-grandson.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19He was supposed to have been the Keeper of Princess Amelia,
0:24:19 > 0:24:23who we see in this enormous portrait.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26She was the daughter of George II.
0:24:26 > 0:24:32I don't know, she seems to this day to still be keeping her eye on him.
0:24:32 > 0:24:39Above the doorway, we've got a portrait of the Third Earl and the interesting thing about him
0:24:39 > 0:24:42is he married into the Spencer family.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46And we've got his wife here on the left, Harriet.
0:24:46 > 0:24:52The interesting thing about her is we have the portrait in the collection of her sister,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Georgiana, who became Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire.
0:24:56 > 0:25:02If you ever saw the film The Duchess, you'll recognise that this girl is the character
0:25:02 > 0:25:06that Keira Knightley played in that film.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, famously was a gambler.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12She also used to like to drink a lot.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16She died owing the equivalent of some £3 million.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20When her husband, the Duke, discovered this, he said,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23"Is that all?" How generous of him!
0:25:30 > 0:25:35Leaping forward into the 20th century, in this room,
0:25:35 > 0:25:39the Music Room, we've got Vere, the 9th Earl,
0:25:39 > 0:25:45in all his regalia look, as Governor General of Canada.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50It was his son, the 10th Earl, who set up the charitable foundation
0:25:50 > 0:25:56in 1983 that's preserved Stansted for the benefit of the public.
0:25:56 > 0:26:02Some of the furniture in the collection came as a result of inheritance and marriage.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07For example, this peculiarly Spanish travelling chest
0:26:07 > 0:26:12that dates way back into the Middle Ages.
0:26:12 > 0:26:18Typically, they're of box type form with carrying handles on the end,
0:26:18 > 0:26:23so you could literally pick the thing up with all the precious objects inside it
0:26:23 > 0:26:28and shove on the back of a couple of donkeys and head off across the Great Plains of Spain.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34And once the families had become less itinerant,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37then stands were made to hold them grandly.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40What I like are the loper rails.
0:26:40 > 0:26:47A loper rail is a slither of wood that slides out to provide support for a falling flap.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50These loper rails are carved with charming shells.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53You see how the thing works.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57When I open it up, the front panel falls
0:26:57 > 0:27:00and is supported on the loper rails,
0:27:00 > 0:27:05which then gives you an additional advantage of a writing surface.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10But look at the complexity of what we've uncovered inside.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14All that inlay of bone and ivory, for a piece of furniture
0:27:14 > 0:27:20that probably dates to between 1500 and 1550. Quite extraordinary.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Almost as extraordinary as the Bessborough family
0:27:24 > 0:27:31and hopefully as extraordinary as the results we're going to see for our teams today over at the auction.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Well, we've remained in West Sussex,
0:27:41 > 0:27:46just gone a bit further west to Wisborough Green, just outside Billingshurst,
0:27:46 > 0:27:52- to Bellman's saleroom to be with Jonathan Pratt. Jonathan.- Thank you, Tim.- A joy!
0:27:52 > 0:27:57Deborah and Lauren are hanging all their hopes, I think, on the truncheon.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Crikey! It's a good example of a truncheon. It's early 19th century.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03The paint is in reasonable condition.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08But apparently the warrant was on your truncheon.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11You would show your warrant like this. Let me in!
0:28:11 > 0:28:16- Whack 'em one! An interesting object.- I've put £100 to £150 on it.
0:28:16 > 0:28:22They paid £95 and will stand by to hopefully make a decent profit on that, which would be lovely.
0:28:22 > 0:28:28- Now, there we have the ultimate birdie. A proud cock pheasant. - Exactly. It does look rather proud.
0:28:28 > 0:28:35- It does. In cast bronze and crisp! - Crisp, good quality, good condition, not particularly old, I don't think.
0:28:35 > 0:28:41- Like brand new.- Not a lot of money. £60 to £90.- Well, they paid 80.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- OK.- What I like about it, at least it has some quality.
0:28:44 > 0:28:49I bet you a quid they'll do better than £60 to £90. I've got a feeling about it in my waterworks.
0:28:49 > 0:28:55However, I do have a difficulty in the waterworks about this frog trimming job.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- Yeah. I don't really rate it. - Me neither.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03- If it was silver plate, if it was ivory, yeah.- But plastic.- Yeah.
0:29:03 > 0:29:08So, you know, £10, £15? That's about as generous as I can be, really.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12- They paid £55.- I'll have to work hard for that.- You will.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16Whatever they're going to make out of the pheasant and the truncheon
0:29:16 > 0:29:20is going to go down the proverbial with that froggy jobby.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24- Absolutely.- In which case, they're going to need the bonus buy.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29- Excited?- Yes. Very.- What do you suppose Catherine spent your £70 on?
0:29:29 > 0:29:34- Something beautiful.- Something beautiful! That's it!- Good answer.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Ever the romantic. OK, show us something beautiful.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41- I'm not sure it's something beautiful.- Shall I rip that off?- Do.
0:29:41 > 0:29:47- Not beautiful at all!- Useful. - Useful, absolutely. There we go.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Now we have got a tailor's waist measure.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56Never seen or sold one before. I thought it was an interesting thing.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00This is a parallel rule, some really nice brass hinges.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Now, I know they're not particularly attractive
0:30:03 > 0:30:09but these sell for around 20, 30, maybe £40.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14That one never sold before but I think it could make around £40, something like that.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17The two, I paid £33 for.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21- Do you like them, then, Debs? - Oh, they're wonderful!
0:30:21 > 0:30:22SHE LAUGHS
0:30:22 > 0:30:25They're really nicely made.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29This is probably around 1915, that sort of date.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- This is going to be slightly later. Are we selling this?- Yes, we are!
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- For profits, yes! - Yes, she likes the profit idea.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40OK, on that happy, happy note let's find out what the auctioneer
0:30:40 > 0:30:42thinks about Catherine's rules.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44THEY LAUGH
0:30:44 > 0:30:51OK, JP, isn't it the bust to the hips to the something, bottom...?
0:30:51 > 0:30:55I've never been allowed to get a ruler out, to be honest.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59No, quite. Talking of rulers, once you've measured the necessary
0:30:59 > 0:31:01you can then get your chart out and do it.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04I mean, what are you going to do with that? It looks painful!
0:31:04 > 0:31:09You draw parallel lines, across a chart, and then you trace it.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11That, I do understand. Absolutely.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16As a navigational aid and tool, they're quite straightforward.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18But those things, I don't know.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21These things, you have the quality of the manufacture.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23It's quite nicely made. Brass mounts on it,
0:31:23 > 0:31:27and whatnot, it's obviously got some age, and some use out of it.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Is it a rarity? Is it a collectable object? It's difficult to say.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- What's your estimate?- £30-£50.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Perfect. Catherine paid £33.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues. Seb and Ollie.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41First up is their bit of glass.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Modern glass is what people always buy on Bargain Hunt.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45I don't know why.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49it's an unpredictable business, the glass market, in that,
0:31:49 > 0:31:52the private client comes in, says, that's pretty,
0:31:52 > 0:31:55and they're willing to pay 10-£20 more than the next person,
0:31:55 > 0:31:58and that's where your profit is, so it's always a good punt.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- Is that your estimate then? 10, 20 or £30? - I'll stick to the latter, 20 or 30.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Seb loved it, paid £30. Probably at the top end.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07- There might be a small profit in it. - It might do.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10And what about the shell cameo brooch?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13You can look at that and see the quality of that shell carving
0:32:13 > 0:32:17and you know that it's not 19th century, it's 20th century.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19It's a bit more stylised, the way it's done.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21It's kind of more 20th-century.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- But, it is in a gold mount. £30-£50 is as good as I can get.- Is it? OK.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30- Well, they paid 60, so that might be a problem.- I think it will.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34And, what about the sarcophogus-form tea caddy
0:32:34 > 0:32:36in fashionable black papier mache?
0:32:36 > 0:32:41I quite like it. I do like the shape. Nice, swept sarcophagus.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44But, it is rubbed out, the gilding's kind of gone,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47the feet are slightly worse for wear.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52It's not got the covers for each of the compartments.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- What's your estimate?- £50-£80.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Really? As much as that? You're good, aren't you, boy?
0:32:58 > 0:32:59£85, they paid.
0:32:59 > 0:33:06And I see that as a 40 note maximum type caddy, I have to say.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Overall, I think they're in trouble
0:33:08 > 0:33:10and they're going to need their bonus buy,
0:33:10 > 0:33:11so let's have a look at it.
0:33:11 > 0:33:17Now, you two, you spent a whole £175. You gave David Harper £125.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19David, what did you spend it on?
0:33:19 > 0:33:23An interesting, out of the ordinary item, OK?
0:33:23 > 0:33:24Ooh. It's...
0:33:27 > 0:33:28..A stained-glass plaque.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32Yes! Exactly. That's exactly how I would describe it.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36It's leaded glass, it's 20th century
0:33:36 > 0:33:41and it's a fantastic architectural piece for a restaurant or a home.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- Do you like it?- Yes, and I think it's very usable as well.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- People would buy it and put it in their own home. - It could be hung a wall as well.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53I think it was a bargain. What do you think? I love testing.
0:33:53 > 0:33:54Go on, how much do you think?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Er...
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- £40? £50?- Yeah, It should do that, all day long.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- 20 quid.- £20?
0:34:02 > 0:34:04£20, it's absolutely for nothing.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09It's very exciting. We're very excited to see what this does.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11- That's great, then. Happy?- Yeah.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14You may not need to take it, but, for the audience at home,
0:34:14 > 0:34:18let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Dave's sign.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- This is amazing, Jonathan, isn't it? - Isn't that wonderful?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Yeah, makes you feel hungry just looking at it!
0:34:24 > 0:34:29It's rather sweet, a bit of mottled glass, and a bit of work involved.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Actually, a lot of work. The script is good, isn't it?
0:34:32 > 0:34:35It's very good. It's rather neatly done.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37But then, everyone did this sort of thing.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40there was a period when this was what you needed
0:34:40 > 0:34:42in your cafe, bar or saloon.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Difficult to sell, though?
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Well, you know, maybe someone would buy it as something
0:34:46 > 0:34:49to place in a door in a restaurant.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52We've done reasonably well out of these things in the past.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- What's your estimate? - £40-£60.- Perfect.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57That canny monkey, Harper, only paid £20 for it.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01- That is pretty, what I call cheap. - Very good for £20.- Yes.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- Looking forward to selling it? - I can hardly contain myself, Tim.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06That's rather what we thought.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Anyway, we will see about your containment in just a moment.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- Deborah, Lauren, how are you feeling?- Very excited.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23If I was putting you two on the excited scale,
0:35:23 > 0:35:26are you up around nine, 10?
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- 10, 10. Yes. Hyper.- Hyper? That's lovely, isn't it?
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Very giggly, aren't we? Yes.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33- No, you're very good friends.- Yes.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38- You're not going to fall out about today?- No, not at all.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Anyway, first up is the policeman's truncheon, and here it comes.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50Lot 1783A, a Bow Street policeman's truncheon. Someone start at £80.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54- 60 then?- No Internet. - Oh, come on, Jonathan.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57In front at £40. Five, surely?
0:35:57 > 0:36:0345 seated. 50. Five, 60, five, 70...
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Come on, come on.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Come on, come on!
0:36:07 > 0:36:11The man standing at £70. 75, with Simon, then?
0:36:11 > 0:36:1380? 80 seated. 85.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14He's got the Internet now.
0:36:14 > 0:36:1985, still to the left, at £85. Any more at £85? Surely another one?
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Last chance at 85.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23£85, that was minus £10.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25That's a shame!
0:36:25 > 0:36:28I thought that was a bit more of a whoompher, didn't you?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Couldn't you feel a whoomph in there? Anyway...
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Would have liked a bit more of a whoomph!
0:36:33 > 0:36:38Lot 1784A, 20th-century patinated bronze figure of a pheasant.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Start me at £60.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- £60, surely? £40.- Come on!
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Who said 30?
0:36:46 > 0:36:52OK, £30 on the left, I'll sell it, 35 standing behind you now. 40, 45.
0:36:52 > 0:36:5650, 55. £55, standing at the back now at £55.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Surely worth 60 though. £55, the gentleman's bid, then.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01At the back at £55.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05£55. Well, we're all up the spout with that!
0:37:05 > 0:37:1155. So that's minus £25. Well, what do I know about anything?(!)
0:37:11 > 0:37:18Lot 1785, a cream Bakelite novelty cigar cutter, modelled as a frog.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23Bids with me, 10, 12, 15, 20...£25 I have.
0:37:23 > 0:37:24SHE GASPS
0:37:24 > 0:37:25Who will bid me 30?
0:37:25 > 0:37:29Surely worth 30. 28 then? Any more?
0:37:29 > 0:37:30Waving at 28.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Waving! Keep waving!
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Going for 30 now anywhere? Last chance, everybody.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37£28 back of the room, all done.
0:37:37 > 0:37:38A loss on everything.
0:37:38 > 0:37:4130. That's 25, that's minus £27.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46So that's 52... minus 62, is that right?
0:37:46 > 0:37:47Check, check, check.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49We had really good things as well!
0:37:49 > 0:37:51How can this be minus 62?
0:37:51 > 0:37:57What are you going to do about Catherine's proportionate waste-reducing gadget measure?!
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- We're definitely using her.- Right.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03We're going with the bonus buy, here it comes.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07Lot 1789A, a tailor's box with a brass waist measure.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11And you have here, also, the parallel rule.
0:38:11 > 0:38:12Start me at £30 for this.
0:38:12 > 0:38:1520? 10, then?
0:38:15 > 0:38:2010 on the left. 12, 15, 18, 20, 25.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22No, £25, standing at £25.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Don't believe this.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Who will bid me 30? It's on the right at £25.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27Come on, keep going!
0:38:27 > 0:38:31I'll sell to £25, then. All done at £25...
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- GAVEL STRIKES - The agony is too much.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37£25 is minus £8 which rounds it up neatly to minus 70. OK?
0:38:37 > 0:38:38THEY LAUGH
0:38:38 > 0:38:39Oh, dear!
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Well...quite frankly, if it's been as bad as this for you,
0:38:42 > 0:38:47it will be as bad for the Blues, so don't be too depressed about it
0:38:47 > 0:38:49because minus £70 could be a winning score.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02OK, Seb, Hols, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- Haven't got a clue.- We don't want you to know, that's great!
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- Are you up for this?- Definitely. - Definitely. Good sports.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11OK, here we go. First up is the glass and here it comes.
0:39:11 > 0:39:16Lot 1805A, 1960s Murano blue green glass vase. Start me at 30 for this.
0:39:16 > 0:39:1720?
0:39:17 > 0:39:18Who will bid me £10?
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- It's gone a bit quiet.- Oh, dear.
0:39:20 > 0:39:2112?
0:39:21 > 0:39:2515, 18, 20, 22.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- At 22?- Come on!
0:39:28 > 0:39:29Surely worth 25?
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Are you all done? Lady's bid at £22.
0:39:32 > 0:39:33GAVEL STRIKES
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Oh!
0:39:35 > 0:39:36After all that!
0:39:36 > 0:39:37OK, minus £8.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41Lot 1806A, a shell cameo brooch, pretty little girl in a mount,
0:39:41 > 0:39:45detailed 14k, starting with me at £20.
0:39:45 > 0:39:46Oh, come on!
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Surely worth 22 though. Bid me two.
0:39:48 > 0:39:5422, 25, 28 and 30. £35 ahead.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- It's £35 in the centre.- Come on.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Any more? Selling at £35.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01GAVEL STRIKES
0:40:01 > 0:40:03£35. It was minus £25.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- This is not going the right way.- No.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09OK, papier-mache tea caddy.
0:40:09 > 0:40:14Lot 1807A, an early Victorian black lacquer papier-mache tea caddy.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19I can start at 35 this time. Looking for 40. Surely worth 40.
0:40:19 > 0:40:2140, thank you. Five?
0:40:21 > 0:40:2250 and 5?
0:40:22 > 0:40:23It's 55.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Come on!
0:40:25 > 0:40:2660 anywhere else?
0:40:26 > 0:40:2760 waving.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Standing on the left at £60. Any more?
0:40:29 > 0:40:32£60, yours, sir. £60 and selling all done.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34GAVEL STRIKES
0:40:34 > 0:40:35THEY GROAN
0:40:35 > 0:40:37That's another minus 25.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41- Where are we now? - That's 33, 53, 58. Minus 58.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42Gosh!
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Minus 58. That is terrible.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46It's not good!
0:40:46 > 0:40:49What are you going to do about the bonus prize? That glass panel.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50Go for it.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52- It's a no-brainer.- Yeah, definitely.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56I mean, the man's been so clever to find it at £20.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- You happy with that?- Yeah, go for it.- We're going with it.
0:40:59 > 0:41:0520th century leaded coloured glass panel detailed "food" in script.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Commission bids once again.
0:41:06 > 0:41:12To start with me at...40, 50... I can go straight in at £60.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15£60!
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Pleased at the back, but let's see if we can get more!
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Who will bid me five? £60 commission bid against you...
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Are we all done at 60? No further bidding?
0:41:23 > 0:41:24Come on!
0:41:24 > 0:41:26£60 and selling all done.
0:41:26 > 0:41:27GAVEL STRIKES
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Oh, it's still good!
0:41:29 > 0:41:33£60. That is plus £40. Is that a result?!
0:41:33 > 0:41:35That is what I call a result!
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Listen, I'm going down. That is what I call a result.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40That is brilliant!
0:41:40 > 0:41:43So you were minus 58, that means you're minus 18
0:41:43 > 0:41:45and that could be a winning score.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48- It's a good score!- Thank you!
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Well, well, been chatting?
0:42:03 > 0:42:05- No.- No.- Not comparing the notes?
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- No.- Good, well, that's the way we like it.
0:42:08 > 0:42:13Very sadly, the runners-up today, by a big old chalk,
0:42:13 > 0:42:15are the mother and daughter.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Oh, yes!
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- I mean, minus £70, it just wasn't going down your gutter today, was it?- No.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25Not at all. And not because the goods were no good.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26We had good things!
0:42:26 > 0:42:30You did, but they just didn't want them, the beasts!
0:42:30 > 0:42:31How dare they!
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- Are you disappointed?- No.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36You're not? Good, I'm pleased because I hope you've had a lovely time.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- Lovely time.- We've loved having you on the show,
0:42:39 > 0:42:40but bad luck about all of that
0:42:40 > 0:42:44because the victors today, who won by only losing £18, are the Blues.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- We're good!- And your bacon was substantially saved by David Harper
0:42:48 > 0:42:52- and his £40 lead plaque.- Yes.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54- Have you had a good time? - Absolutely fantastic.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56We've loved having you too.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Anyway, join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:42:59 > 0:43:01ALL: Yes!
