0:00:07 > 0:00:11In our mission to uncover antiques from around the globe,

0:00:11 > 0:00:15we've come to the other side of the world, literally.

0:00:15 > 0:00:20We're down under in Australia. Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!

0:00:44 > 0:00:48We've left good old Blighty behind and we're delighted to be down under.

0:00:48 > 0:00:53From the hustle and bustle of central Melbourne, we've taken a short tram ride

0:00:53 > 0:00:56to the upmarket district of Armadale.

0:00:56 > 0:01:03In England, Malvern is famous for its water, but here at the Malvern Antique Market, we want bargains.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07So it's here we've brought our Australian Reds and Blues.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12Here's a quick peek as to what to expect.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15For the Reds, it's all about the money.

0:01:15 > 0:01:20- We might make a few dollars on it. It depends on what you get it for. - 20 bucks?

0:01:20 > 0:01:24- I think 50 would be good for the three bits. - That sounds like an offer.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27The Blues are after something blue.

0:01:27 > 0:01:32- The pleasure of that box has gone because we're missing the erotic scene.- Indeed.

0:01:32 > 0:01:38- But not everything will be to their expert's taste. - ..saleability, wouldn't it?

0:01:39 > 0:01:43Before we meet the teams, let me quickly explain the rules.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47They get 500 Australian dollars and an hour to shop for three items

0:01:47 > 0:01:51which hopefully, they take away and sell for a profit.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55The team that wins makes the most profits or the least losses.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Easy, innit, Sheila?

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Let's go and meet today's teams.

0:02:02 > 0:02:07Well, how lovely is this to be on the rooftop of Melbourne with our teams!

0:02:07 > 0:02:10For the Reds, friends Brian and Bruce. Hi, guys.

0:02:10 > 0:02:15- Hello.- And Trish and Russell, our married couple for the Blues.

0:02:15 > 0:02:20- Brian, how did you two become friends?- I met Bruce at kindergarten when I was five.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22We've just been friends ever since.

0:02:22 > 0:02:27- What do you do for a living, mate? - Right now, I'm detailing boats.

0:02:27 > 0:02:32You get on the boat and you clean it from top to toe, inside, out, backwards and forwards.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Like boat valeting?- Exactly, yeah. - Now I'm with you.

0:02:35 > 0:02:40I'm caring for my father, so I'm a full-time carer. My father's 91.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Is he?- Yeah.- Bless his cotton socks! - He's a lovely man, British man.

0:02:44 > 0:02:49Your British ancestors, there's quite a connection to Australia?

0:02:49 > 0:02:51There is a strong connection, yeah.

0:02:51 > 0:02:57In fact, we have a clock which came out on the first fleet with Governor King, his name was.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Governor Gidley King.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03I'm one of the great-great-great-great descendants of him.

0:03:03 > 0:03:08- One of the great-great Gidley Kings? - I'm a Gidley King, that's right.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12And he was asked by the King to bring beer to Australia.

0:03:12 > 0:03:17- That's quite an accolade cos you Australians like a drop.- We do.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Brucie, tell us what you do for earning a buck.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24I work at Sydney Airport and I have done for the last 30 years.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26I have a passion for fixing things.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30- Has it always been with you tick-tock with the mechanicals?- Yes.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34Ever since a boy, I was pulling the lawn mower and cars apart.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Can you put it back together again? - Absolutely.- That's OK then.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42- You're also a very keen sportsman. - I am.- Tell us about that.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46I love water-skiing. I just absolutely love the sport.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50- Can you get up on one ski?- I can get up on barefoot.- You never can?

0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Barefoot?- Yes. - That is something else.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57- Are you looking forward to shopping on Bargain Hunt today?- Very much.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00We've got a few secret strategies.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04- Are you prepared to share the secret strategies with us?- No.

0:04:04 > 0:04:09- Not here.- Not in a public place? - Yes...- Well, not in front of them?

0:04:09 > 0:04:14- It's a bit secret. - I love this, don't you? Very good luck with that, chaps.- Thank you.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18Now, Trish, tell us about your earlies.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22Well, I'm a fifth direct descendant from John Small and Mary Parker

0:04:22 > 0:04:28- that came out on the first fleet and they later married when they settled in the colony.- Right.

0:04:28 > 0:04:33John Small came out on the Charlotte and Mary Parker on the Lady Penrhyn.

0:04:33 > 0:04:38- Were they technically convicts? - They were convicts. They did seven years each.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42- Then they settled down?- They settled down.- They were good breeders?

0:04:42 > 0:04:45They were very prolific breeders, yes.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49The Small family is the largest convict family in Australia.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53- That's wonderful. What do you collect?- Teapots.

0:04:53 > 0:04:57I love antiques of any description, including Russell.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Oh, poor old Russ!

0:05:00 > 0:05:05- Will you be buying a teapot on Bargain Hunt today to make a profit out of?- Hopefully, yes.

0:05:05 > 0:05:10- Russell, what do you collect? - The receipts of Patricia's purchases of teapots!

0:05:10 > 0:05:17I used to be with Coca-Cola, so I have a very, very broad range of Coca-Cola memorabilia.

0:05:17 > 0:05:23I also have a model railway set. It's an N-gauge set and it was modelled on the Cotswolds.

0:05:23 > 0:05:29- I also have a 1968 Morris Cooper S...- Lovely.- ..which Trisha just bought me for my birthday.

0:05:29 > 0:05:34- How sweet! Is it in good nick? - Wonderful.- What sort of things will you buy today?

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Whatever makes us a profit.

0:05:37 > 0:05:44- Are you going to take the advice of your expert?- Yes.- Yes.- That could be your first big mistake!

0:05:44 > 0:05:48Anyway, moving on quickly, here's 500 bucks apiece.

0:05:48 > 0:05:53You know the rules, your experts await and off you go and very, very good luck!

0:05:55 > 0:05:59Our Aussie teams are going to need some help from our experts,

0:05:59 > 0:06:02so joining me from Great Britain

0:06:02 > 0:06:05is Paul Laidlaw who will be assisting the Reds

0:06:05 > 0:06:09and David Barby who will be steering the Blues in the right direction.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12All right, teams, you're on starter's orders.

0:06:12 > 0:06:18We might be in a different time zone, but you still have just 60 minutes and that time starts now.

0:06:18 > 0:06:24- There's too many things to pick from. - It's mind-blowing, absolutely mind-blowing.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28- What are we shopping for?- Something nautical, I think.- Are we?- Yes.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32A nautical plan? Let's hope the Reds don't end up all at sea!

0:06:33 > 0:06:36That's a nice box. That would contain sweeties.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39There was a picture or something under the lid?

0:06:39 > 0:06:45Yes, it may well have been an erotic scene and that's been torn out.

0:06:45 > 0:06:51- The pleasure of that box has gone because we're missing the interior erotic scene.- Indeed.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Oh, David, how disappointing!

0:06:54 > 0:06:58- What do you think of that? - "Spyglass" is the tag.

0:06:58 > 0:07:03Late 19th, early 20th century. It's 100 years younger than I think it wants to be

0:07:03 > 0:07:05and not much use aboard ship!

0:07:05 > 0:07:07No, not really, is it, no!

0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Maybe a pond yacht.- A pond yacht!

0:07:10 > 0:07:12No profit to be seen there then!

0:07:12 > 0:07:17The Blues haven't moved very far. They're still at the same cabinet, actually.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Is David about to go out with a bang?

0:07:20 > 0:07:24- It's a model of a mortar, as a string ball.- Yes.

0:07:24 > 0:07:30- I like that. - If it was a real mortar, you'd pull it out and fire the gun.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- That is quite nice. I like that. - And quirky.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35- It's quirky as well.- Hmm.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38That's where your string goes.

0:07:38 > 0:07:43- That's in pretty good condition. - I think that is quite good.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49- What do you think? An interesting piece of treen, that.- I like that.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52- I do.- That was quite decisive.

0:07:52 > 0:07:57- I like it.- What about these few marks on there?- Well, it's aged.

0:07:57 > 0:08:02Yeah, I think there might have been a little stud on the side there which has gone.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06- What's its age there?- This should be sort of mid-19th century.

0:08:06 > 0:08:13"Victorian boxwood, shop string barrel." This is not a shop string barrel. This was used in the house.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17- I think this is quite nice.- I like it.- It's a quirky object. 155...

0:08:17 > 0:08:21- I'm going to find the owner and see what we can do.- I like that.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23That's a good choice.

0:08:26 > 0:08:31It's a mad door stop, some sort of lizard. What's the price tag on it?

0:08:31 > 0:08:34- 250.- Where do you go with that?

0:08:34 > 0:08:38If you took the 2 off, I'd be interested in having a conversation.

0:08:38 > 0:08:44Paul, you chat to the lizard, but hopefully, David had more success talking to the man in charge.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47- And he'll do it for 60 dollars. - OK.- OK.

0:08:47 > 0:08:53- Do you like it enough for 60 dollars?- Yeah.- Yes. - I do. I do. Very much.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56- So, 60 dollars, how many pounds is that? About £40.- Yeah.

0:08:56 > 0:09:00- That's quite good. I like that. - Yeah.- OK, shall we go for it?

0:09:00 > 0:09:05- I think so. - That's one in the basket for the Blues. Good haggling, David.

0:09:05 > 0:09:10- Well done.- Thank you. - That's only taken ten minutes. - Well done. That's very good.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Whoa, got things in our hand!

0:09:15 > 0:09:18I don't know. For...?

0:09:18 > 0:09:21- For custard maybe?- Yes.- Cream?

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Do you like it by the gallon?!

0:09:25 > 0:09:29I hardly know you from Adam, but I wouldn't have placed that in your camp.

0:09:29 > 0:09:34- No, but I really think it's sweet. - I'm seeing a whole new side of you.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37- There you go, Paul.- I'm loving it. - LAUGHTER

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Very interesting ceramics.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46- We've got a dish.- Unusual bowl.

0:09:46 > 0:09:51Unusual pottery. With a kookaburra, so that relates to Australia.

0:09:51 > 0:09:56- What about that little silver brooch?- That's nice. I like that.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59It says War Widows. What does it mean?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01- I don't know.- I do not know.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05That's silver and they've got it priced at 125.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09- I rather like that, don't you? - It's different, isn't it?- It is.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Would you like to handle it? - Yes, I think so.

0:10:12 > 0:10:18It's Australian and it looks like there's some history behind it. Could they be on to a winner?

0:10:18 > 0:10:24- We've spent a third of our hour. We should have bought something by now.- We should have.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Look, it's here, it's here. Where on earth is it?

0:10:27 > 0:10:32Keep looking, Reds. Stay focused. How are those Blues getting on with that brooch?

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Oh!

0:10:39 > 0:10:41That is lovely.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44Look at that!

0:10:44 > 0:10:46"War Widows Guild."

0:10:46 > 0:10:52- It's dated 1951.- Really? - So would that be after Korea? - After Korea.- Yeah.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55It says, "Finches, London."

0:10:55 > 0:10:57- Really?- Really?- Yes.

0:10:57 > 0:11:03- So that was produced...- In London for the Guild...- Of War Widows.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07- To have come all the way out here... - Yeah.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11I think this was applicable to Australian war widows

0:11:11 > 0:11:13because of the kookaburra.

0:11:13 > 0:11:18- Why have a kookaburra on a brooch or a medal in London? - Indeed.- You know?

0:11:18 > 0:11:22Now, it says "silver". I can't see any silver mark on it.

0:11:22 > 0:11:27I think this is a cast metal. I don't think it's silver.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Time to haggle, David.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32125? What's the best? It's not silver.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Um...

0:11:34 > 0:11:36It is an unusual item.

0:11:36 > 0:11:3870 dollars.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41Would you do it at 60?

0:11:41 > 0:11:44- OK. Yeah.- OK.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46That's 60 dollars.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50I think that's quite good. I love the kookaburra.

0:11:50 > 0:11:54- I like the history.- Indeed. - I like the history behind that.- Hmm.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58- I do. I think we should go for it. - I think so.- At 60?- Yes.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01So that's two up for the Blues.

0:12:01 > 0:12:05Meanwhile, our nautical-themed Reds have found some men in uniform.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Little sailor boy there.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12Frumpy-looking little guy, but look, we have his buddy,

0:12:12 > 0:12:14an army chap.

0:12:14 > 0:12:19They are novelty pepperettes, for salt and pepper.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21And they originate...

0:12:22 > 0:12:24..in Japan.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26The dating too...

0:12:26 > 0:12:29- the inter-war years.- Right.

0:12:29 > 0:12:35- Uniform-wise, that tallies entirely and aesthetic-wise, it ties in at 1920s.- OK.

0:12:35 > 0:12:39I find those...charming.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Mm-hm.- But it's a niche market.

0:12:41 > 0:12:48- These are uncommon and with that military flavour and nautical flavour, I see an opening.- Right.

0:12:48 > 0:12:54- Immediate reaction, guys? - You might make a few dollars. It depends on what you get it for.

0:12:54 > 0:12:59- I mean, they're nice. - There's a napkin ring there. Come round, guys. Look.

0:12:59 > 0:13:04- Mesopotamia...- Yeah. - ..which is Iraq. 1916.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08The tag says, "World War One, souvenir silver napkin ring."

0:13:08 > 0:13:13The legend and the depiction of the camels is in black against the silver.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17- I see.- Niello is the technique, niello work, Nielloware.

0:13:17 > 0:13:21- I like that.- Right. - In terms of rarity and novelty,

0:13:21 > 0:13:23what's that doing for you?

0:13:23 > 0:13:27At the price, it could be right, if we get it down a bit.

0:13:27 > 0:13:33- We've found two things in one cabinet. Why don't we get the man with the key?- That's a good idea.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36I'm going to talk to the man about Cabinet 31.

0:13:36 > 0:13:43Remember, Paul, camel humps go up and down, a bit like exchange rates and auction prices.

0:13:43 > 0:13:49- It looks to be a working one because the thread's going through. - There's no handle on that one.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- There's a little screw at the side there.- I see, yes.

0:13:52 > 0:13:57- You're missing the handle to go round.- Absolutely. - So we'll leave that.

0:14:01 > 0:14:07- That's Wedgwood.- It's 395. Unfortunately, the dealer will not come down more than 10%.

0:14:07 > 0:14:11Nothing like an expensive bull in a china shop!

0:14:12 > 0:14:16The Reds have got their hands full and are ready to talk money.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20Can I cut to the chase? They're worth 30, 40 bucks at auction.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Can they be bought for a price in that ballpark?

0:14:23 > 0:14:25How about 45?

0:14:26 > 0:14:29PAUL SIGHS

0:14:29 > 0:14:31It's a good move.

0:14:31 > 0:14:35- But is it good enough?- Well, look, I'll throw another thing in.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38We spotted this. It got better when it came out.

0:14:38 > 0:14:42We saw a niello-worked white metal.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46We've got to assume this is silver and that's an assumption.

0:14:46 > 0:14:53- I thought, "Oh, my word! What did I pass there?" Royal Army Medical Corps device.- Right.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57So this was targeted at the Medical Corps guy

0:14:57 > 0:15:00that was in Iraq or Mesopotamia then.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03And the workmanship is good.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07- I like that. It's a better thing than we have here.- Sure.

0:15:07 > 0:15:12These are priced... This is priced up at 48 and a half.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Is there any way it's 50 bucks for the three pieces?

0:15:15 > 0:15:1655.

0:15:16 > 0:15:21- Are we interested in these? - I think 50 would be good for the three bits.

0:15:21 > 0:15:26- That sounds like an offer to me. Are we making this offer?- Yeah, 50.

0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Right, OK.- Job done?- Yeah, job done.- Thanks for that. Good work.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Good work, guys. - Thank you very much.

0:15:33 > 0:15:37Well done, Reds. That's two items bought at 25 bucks each.

0:15:37 > 0:15:42- We were behind schedule.- Right. - No longer because we nailed two purchases in a oner.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46- Excellent.- Get in there! - Fantastic. All right!

0:15:46 > 0:15:49Those Reds are on form.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52Both teams have one more item to find

0:15:52 > 0:15:55and the Barby has spotted something interesting.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59- Do you know what that is?- No.- No.

0:15:59 > 0:16:06That is quite a rare little item and it is a whistle for the end of a speaking tube.

0:16:06 > 0:16:12- Really?- So in large houses in Melbourne, in these posh houses, round about 1870,

0:16:12 > 0:16:16they didn't have telephones, but they had speaking tubes.

0:16:16 > 0:16:20That's good social history. I think we ought to have a look at that.

0:16:20 > 0:16:26Go on, wet your whistle, David! It looks like Paul is turning up the heat with the Reds.

0:16:26 > 0:16:32That is a screen. It would shield a lady's face from the heat of the fire to stop the make-up running.

0:16:32 > 0:16:36- OK.- Dating 1860, mid-19th century?

0:16:36 > 0:16:41Turned black lacquer, gilt, abalone, mother-of-pearl inlay.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43- But look, can't forgive it this.- No.

0:16:43 > 0:16:50Priced appropriately, 85 bucks, but we're not buying anything we're going to have to apologise for.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54I'm extremely sorry to hear that, Paul.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57Come in, David. Are you receiving me?

0:16:57 > 0:17:02Come in, number one. That would be for the servant on the top floor

0:17:02 > 0:17:06- or it could have been on a boat.- It could very well.- It should whistle.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09BLOWING SOUND

0:17:09 > 0:17:13If there was a whistle, that would affect its saleability, wouldn't it?

0:17:13 > 0:17:16- LAUGHTER - Not tasty, I can see.- No.

0:17:16 > 0:17:20But a good piece of social history. There's no price on it.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23- We can work out something with it. - What, 20 dollars?

0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Uh...- Ten?

0:17:26 > 0:17:29Uh...I'll do it for 20.

0:17:29 > 0:17:33Allowing for one or two nicks on it, it's such an interesting piece.

0:17:33 > 0:17:38I think we should go with it because we've gone back to quirky.

0:17:38 > 0:17:43This is quirky to Patricia and I because frankly, we've never seen it before.

0:17:43 > 0:17:47- Interesting social history point of view. I think this is good. - Indeed.

0:17:47 > 0:17:51- Sir, you have a sale.- OK. - Reluctantly at 20 dollars.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Thank you very much indeed.

0:17:53 > 0:17:59So shopping is over for the Blues, but the pressure is still on for the Reds.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Guys... Da-da-da-daah!

0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Oomph!- Wow!

0:18:06 > 0:18:10- "Wow" was good.- Interesting.- Doing anything for you beyond interesting?

0:18:10 > 0:18:13It looks like a Viking helmet upside down.

0:18:13 > 0:18:19That's not helping me because it's not, but the British Museum would be very interested if it was.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22What's it made out of?

0:18:22 > 0:18:26- Pewter.- And these little coloured bits, what are they?

0:18:26 > 0:18:30- It looks like turquoise, but it's... - It's glass enamel.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34- Absolutely.- Yeah. - It's a striking form.- Yes, it is.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36- It's Tudric...- Tudric?

0:18:36 > 0:18:40Liberty retailed, but there's a problem.

0:18:40 > 0:18:45- It's damaged to the enamel. - Yeah, there's quite a bit of damage. - There is damage to the enamel.

0:18:45 > 0:18:51- But we can forgive it a certain amount of damage if it transpires that it's a good thing.- Sure.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54- It is. I'm liking this.- Right.

0:18:54 > 0:19:00- What sort of year do you think it would be?- That's very early 20th century. 1910?- 1910, yeah.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02145...

0:19:02 > 0:19:09I think if I could buy that for 60 dollars, there's a profit in it, and if we're lucky, a big profit.

0:19:09 > 0:19:14- Um...- I like it.- You like it?- Hmm. - All right, then we can do it.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18- Better have a word with the boss then.- 20 bucks?

0:19:18 > 0:19:22I personally think around about 40, 50 dollars.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26When you say 40, 50, I only hear one number.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29- OK.- Guess which one that was?

0:19:30 > 0:19:35- I'll meet you in the middle. We'll shake hands?- Yeah, make it 30 and we've got a deal.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39- Wonderful. Thank you very much. Thank the man.- Thank you very much.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43Wow, that's a cheeky offer! What a bargain!

0:19:43 > 0:19:46Australia, your time is up.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50Let's remind ourselves of what the Red Team bought.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53A set of Japanese novelty salt and pepper pots were picked up

0:19:53 > 0:19:57for a well-seasoned 25 Australian dollars.

0:19:57 > 0:20:03A First World War silver napkin ring was acquired for another 25 bucks.

0:20:04 > 0:20:10And finally, a Liberty, enamel, pewter vase set them back only 30.

0:20:12 > 0:20:16- So how much did you spend then? - 80 dollars.- 80 dollars?!

0:20:16 > 0:20:20- I mean, this is a joke, isn't it? - We're on a tight budget(!)

0:20:20 > 0:20:26500 Australian dollars, all this conversion business from sterling into dollars and you spend 80?!

0:20:26 > 0:20:29That's due to our great haggling skills, Tim.

0:20:29 > 0:20:34It's what I call tight. That's what I call it. I don't know about haggling.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38I'll have 420 dollars then. Thank you very much.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41With that lot, Paul, you could buy half this store.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Indeed I could.

0:20:43 > 0:20:49Right now I am so happy with our last purchase, the you-know-what, Ernie the urn,

0:20:49 > 0:20:54that I'm thinking, "How on earth can I keep up that standard of luck?"

0:20:54 > 0:20:56LAUGHTER

0:20:56 > 0:21:00I think he really is pleased with the Liberty piece, I tell you!

0:21:00 > 0:21:04Why don't we remind ourselves of what the Blue Team bought, eh?

0:21:04 > 0:21:0960 bucks was forked out for a Victorian string ball holder,

0:21:09 > 0:21:11modelled as a mortar in treen.

0:21:11 > 0:21:16A Korea campaign War Widows Guild badge cost them 60 dollars

0:21:16 > 0:21:21and lastly, a late 19th century speaking tube mouthpiece and whistle

0:21:21 > 0:21:24cost them 20 dollars. What a mixture!

0:21:26 > 0:21:29- So how much did you spend all round? - We spent 140 dollars.

0:21:29 > 0:21:34140. I would like 360 dollars of leftover lolly.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38Thank you. 360 dollars. Yet another fortune going across to Mr Barby.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41It is a fortune. Such a responsibility as well!

0:21:41 > 0:21:46- We have confidence. - Every confidence.- Thanks. Sounds like a cue for a song!- We believe!

0:21:46 > 0:21:49Good luck, David. Good luck, team.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53Meanwhile, we're heading out of Melbourne to the south,

0:21:53 > 0:21:57to the Mornington Peninsula, to a property called The Briars.

0:22:03 > 0:22:09Tucked away in this delightful bit of countryside about an hour south of Melbourne

0:22:09 > 0:22:13is this delicious property, The Briars,

0:22:13 > 0:22:17home to the Balcombe family for over 130 years

0:22:17 > 0:22:21until it became state property in the 1970s.

0:22:22 > 0:22:29It's interesting historically partly because of its architectural peculiarities

0:22:29 > 0:22:32and also because it's home to a group of artefacts,

0:22:32 > 0:22:37associated with one of France's most historic characters.

0:22:39 > 0:22:45The story of The Briars in Australia actually starts here at The Briars on St Helena,

0:22:45 > 0:22:49the island in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean

0:22:49 > 0:22:52to which Napoleon was exiled in 1815.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55He initially lived in this guest pavilion

0:22:55 > 0:22:58in the garden of The Briars owned by William Balcombe,

0:22:58 > 0:23:01an English East India Company agent.

0:23:01 > 0:23:08Both he and his family gave Napoleon a warm welcome for which the former emperor was very grateful.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11He gave them a number of small personal possessions

0:23:11 > 0:23:16which they have treasured as a family for ever thereafter.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19In particular, he had an attachment

0:23:19 > 0:23:23with Balcombe's youngest daughter Betsy.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26Later, in 1844,

0:23:26 > 0:23:32she wrote this book which is entitled Recollections Of The Emperor Napoleon.

0:23:32 > 0:23:37And in it, she describes their house on St Helena.

0:23:37 > 0:23:41"Our cottage was built in the style of the bungalows in India."

0:23:41 > 0:23:47And you can see here in the illustration in the book The Briars on St Helena

0:23:47 > 0:23:49with its long veranda.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53It looks very much like The Briars here in Australia.

0:23:53 > 0:23:58She says, "It was very low, the rooms being chiefly on one floor

0:23:58 > 0:24:04"and, had it not been for its situation, would not have been thought so pretty."

0:24:04 > 0:24:07The Napoleonic collection here is quite diverse

0:24:07 > 0:24:12and offers the visitor a terrific insight to this great French figure.

0:24:12 > 0:24:18In 1823, Balcombe was appointed Colonial Treasurer to New South Wales.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21He moved to Australia

0:24:21 > 0:24:26and he brought his furniture, possessions and precious Napoleonic objects with him,

0:24:26 > 0:24:29which included, amazingly,

0:24:29 > 0:24:31this guitar.

0:24:31 > 0:24:37In 1816, Napoleon played the guitar with his friend, Betsy Balcombe.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39She sang.

0:24:39 > 0:24:43Sometimes Napoleon sang and Betsy played,

0:24:43 > 0:24:49but Betsy said that the Emperor Napoleon couldn't hold a tune for toffee nuts.

0:24:56 > 0:25:02When William Balcombe moved to Australia, he named his estate near Canberra The Briars.

0:25:02 > 0:25:08When his son moved here just outside Melbourne in 1846,

0:25:08 > 0:25:11he renamed this property The Briars also,

0:25:11 > 0:25:16thus keeping the St Helena name and connection alive.

0:25:16 > 0:25:23The oldest part of this building is made from a pre-fabricated structure imported from Britain.

0:25:23 > 0:25:28When Alexander Balcombe first moved here in the mid-19th century,

0:25:28 > 0:25:34there weren't any raw materials available in the colony to provide basic shelter,

0:25:34 > 0:25:38so if you didn't want to live in a pre-fab, you'd stay in a tent

0:25:38 > 0:25:42and, believe you me, living in a tent round here

0:25:42 > 0:25:46with all those snakes and creepy-crawlies would not be funny.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51This room is thought to have been their bedroom.

0:25:51 > 0:25:55Now, to our eye today, this does look a bit utility.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58OK, fine, it hasn't been furnished,

0:25:58 > 0:26:01but believe you me, in 1846,

0:26:01 > 0:26:05to have a space that's lined with tongued-and-grooved boards,

0:26:05 > 0:26:09effectively providing a hermetic seal,

0:26:09 > 0:26:11would be thought to be jolly nice,

0:26:11 > 0:26:16plus you've got a fireplace, so you'd have a degree of warmth and comfort.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Next door is the living room.

0:26:21 > 0:26:27Goodness only knows how many hundreds of thousands of these structures

0:26:27 > 0:26:31were exported around the world in pre-fabricated form,

0:26:31 > 0:26:33but most of them have disappeared,

0:26:33 > 0:26:37gobbled up by the white ant and the termite.

0:26:37 > 0:26:42But this one has survived OK and it's a real thrill to be able to see it.

0:26:42 > 0:26:46The big question today, of course, is over at the auction.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49Is it going to be all thrills or spills for our teams?

0:26:49 > 0:26:54Time to head north to Sydney, for it's at Lawsons Saleroom

0:26:54 > 0:26:58that we'll be selling our Australian teams' items.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02Today, we're in the safe hands of auctioneer Luke Jones.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Good morning, Luke. - Good morning, Tim.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08Now, Bruce and Brian, the dynamic duo,

0:27:08 > 0:27:12have gone with these Japanese novelty salt and pepper pots.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15How do you rate these, Luke?

0:27:15 > 0:27:21They are a bit of fun. Would've been popular back in the day, straight after the war, 1920s.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25These days, as a Japanese kitsch item,

0:27:25 > 0:27:27they would be collectable again.

0:27:27 > 0:27:31- Not a huge amount, though. - No. Like how much?

0:27:31 > 0:27:35- About 5 to 10.- Oh, dear. 25 dollars they paid. That's not so swift.

0:27:35 > 0:27:39- Next up is this charming little serviette ring.- Yes.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41That's a jolly nice thing.

0:27:41 > 0:27:45It is silver and niello, another very collectable piece.

0:27:45 > 0:27:49You've got the silver collectors there, the war collectors there.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52I would be thinking around the 40 to 60 mark.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54Jolly good. 25 dollars they paid.

0:27:54 > 0:27:59What about this spectacular, final pewter item?

0:27:59 > 0:28:01Well, a very collectable piece there.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05Unfortunately, it has seen better days.

0:28:05 > 0:28:09What we've got here is a genuine piece of Liberty's pewter,

0:28:09 > 0:28:14stamped "Tudric", so that means it was made by Liberty's

0:28:14 > 0:28:18at the important period, around about 1900, 1910,

0:28:18 > 0:28:21and the designer is Archibald Knox.

0:28:21 > 0:28:26- Yes, a very well-known designer. - So great ingredients wrapped up in this pot.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29- I'd be thinking around 80 to 120. - That's brilliant.

0:28:29 > 0:28:35- That cunning fox Paul Laidlaw only paid 30 dollars for it. - He did very well.

0:28:35 > 0:28:41I mean, this thing, if it was in good condition, would be worth 600 to 800 dollars at least.

0:28:41 > 0:28:46- That's right, yeah. - So for him to find it for 30 is very clever.- Yes.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49Overall, depending on how Archibald Knox gets on,

0:28:49 > 0:28:54they won't need their bonus buy, but let's have a look at it anyway.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56OK, BB,

0:28:56 > 0:28:5980 dollars spent - pathetic!

0:28:59 > 0:29:03420 dollars across to the man for your bonus buy.

0:29:03 > 0:29:08- Paul, what did you spend? - Guys, we were looking for something nautical or marine.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10Believe it or not, these fit the bill.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13- Crikey!- Exactly. Let me tell you what they are -

0:29:13 > 0:29:18Admiralty Pattern 12115, Second World War,

0:29:18 > 0:29:23- specially designed binoculars for Combined Operations, Commando use.- Wow!

0:29:23 > 0:29:30- Rather advanced and lightweight. Plastic construction, plastic lenses.- Wow!- Rare beasties.

0:29:30 > 0:29:35- Wow, look at that! - When you first revealed it, I thought they were egg cups.

0:29:37 > 0:29:43On the field, they used to use it for egg cups and binoculars, so dual purpose.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46Oh, my word! Can I see?

0:29:46 > 0:29:48- Don't drop 'em.- No, I won't.

0:29:48 > 0:29:51- Wow!- Do you see any ships?

0:29:51 > 0:29:55I do, lots of ships. Strewth, that's a bonzer ripper of a buy!

0:29:55 > 0:29:59- That translated means it's quite a good one.- We think so.

0:29:59 > 0:30:02It cost me 35 dollars.

0:30:02 > 0:30:05- Oh!- Worth at auction 50 to 100 dollars.

0:30:05 > 0:30:0850 to 100? Oh, Paul, you've done us proud.

0:30:08 > 0:30:15- It's marvellous.- It's a bargain. - You don't have to choose until after the sale of your first three items.

0:30:15 > 0:30:19But let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the binocs.

0:30:20 > 0:30:24Right then, Luke, a little test for Second World War equipment.

0:30:24 > 0:30:27Second World War Combined Operations.

0:30:27 > 0:30:33It's seen a few things, it's had a few stories to tell. Anything war-related is very collectable.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35I would be thinking around 30 to 50.

0:30:35 > 0:30:39OK, 35 dollars for Mr Laidlaw, but he really rates these

0:30:39 > 0:30:45cos he likes the Commando, the Special Boat Squadron connection,

0:30:45 > 0:30:52- the Cockleshell Heroes, all those wonderful people who were issued bits of equipment like this.- Mm-hm.

0:30:52 > 0:30:55I think they're pretty rare. That's it for the Reds.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58Now for the Blues.

0:30:58 > 0:31:04First up is the treen, mortar string box, which is really strange, isn't it?

0:31:04 > 0:31:07It's a bit of fun for the desk.

0:31:07 > 0:31:11- What do you think it's worth? - Around the 30-dollar mark. 20 to 30.

0:31:11 > 0:31:1320 to 30 dollars. They paid 60.

0:31:13 > 0:31:20Maybe they paid too much for it, but I can quite understand because it's an attractive object.

0:31:20 > 0:31:24Next is the War Widows brooch. What have you found out about that, Luke?

0:31:24 > 0:31:30He is a well-known maker, the badge maker, Hungarian, Andor Meszaros.

0:31:30 > 0:31:33And it's a Korean War badge, 1951.

0:31:33 > 0:31:37Possibly silver. No marking, but it has the look and the feel.

0:31:37 > 0:31:43You've got the kookaburra there, very collectable. We'd be thinking around the 20 to 30 mark again.

0:31:43 > 0:31:49- 60 dollars they paid.- We've had a lot of queries about it, so we could get a little surprise there.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52- There we go. 20 to 30 dollars is not a lot, is it?- No.

0:31:52 > 0:31:56What about the speaking tube orifice?

0:31:56 > 0:32:01Again a novelty piece. Was practical back in the day. Not much use for it any more.

0:32:01 > 0:32:08- No, most people would use a telephone.- It's a talking point, sitting there on the mantelpiece.

0:32:08 > 0:32:12- Blow a raspberry down it. How much? - I'd be thinking 30 to 40.

0:32:12 > 0:32:14Very good man. 20 dollars they paid.

0:32:14 > 0:32:20Depending on how you get on with a War Widows Guild pin, they may or may not need their bonus buy,

0:32:20 > 0:32:22but let's have a look at it anyway.

0:32:23 > 0:32:29- So, Trish, Russ, how are you feeling?- Very well, thank you. - Very well, thank you.

0:32:29 > 0:32:35You spent 140 dollars. You gave that David Barby, that naughty David Barby 360 dollars.

0:32:35 > 0:32:40- What did you spend it on, Dave? - Something absolutely brilliant. - Oh!- It's Lladro.

0:32:40 > 0:32:44If you think of Spanish pottery after the Second World War,

0:32:44 > 0:32:49you think of Lladro and this is an early piece, so we're looking at '50s, '60s.

0:32:49 > 0:32:55It's an Eskimo group and it's a large, heavy piece of ceramic art.

0:32:55 > 0:32:57- What do you think?- I like it.

0:32:57 > 0:33:01- Just hold it. Cuddle it! - Oh, yes, OK.

0:33:01 > 0:33:07- You've got to be quite strong. - It's heavy.- I'm not allowed to hold things until I know the price.

0:33:07 > 0:33:12- Well, I spent the whole lot, 360 dollars.- You blew the lot? - I blew the lot.

0:33:12 > 0:33:17- You are such a punter, David Barby.- I think so. It was my last flourish of buying.

0:33:17 > 0:33:21But Lladro is very popular, so we should do well.

0:33:21 > 0:33:27I would guess that of all the second half of the 20th century ceramic factories,

0:33:27 > 0:33:31- Lladro has been the most successful worldwide.- Indeed so, indeed so.

0:33:31 > 0:33:35Those look lovely and there's so much weight to it.

0:33:35 > 0:33:40Right now, you relax because you pick it after the sale of your first three items,
