0:00:01 > 0:00:04The antiques are out, the stalls are open, what are we waiting for?
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:31 > 0:00:35The Ardingly International Antiques And Collectors' Fair
0:00:35 > 0:00:38is our scene today, bargain hunters, where our teams
0:00:38 > 0:00:41are going to have to struggle through
0:00:41 > 0:00:46literally hundreds of stalls to see what there is on offer.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50But before that, why don't we see what's coming up?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54The boys are caught red-handed.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Can you call the police?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58I think they're trying to nick my watch.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01But will they catch a profitable bargain or three?
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- Mark's light fingers catch him out. - Hey, give me my plate back!- Oh.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Will the game be a steal for the Blues?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And will the auction drive them all to despair?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- Oh!- Please, no.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20So, today, for the Reds, we have brothers Robert and Christopher.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And Catherine and Malcolm, a married couple, for the Blues.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Hello, everyone. - Hello, Tim.- Really love to see you.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Now, Chris, you're the eldest brother, is that right?- I am indeed.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32I'm the eldest, but as you can see, he is the biggest.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- What does that mean, chunky?- No.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39- He's a gym enthusiast, so much bulkier than I am.- I see.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42And you've got a lot in common when it comes to your tastes.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Both of us spent years of actually doing karate
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- and we both attained our second dan black belts, as well.- Technically,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51according to the government, we are dangerous people.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53What, two fingers and you could kill me at three yards?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- One finger.- Oh, one finger!
0:01:56 > 0:01:58I am going to keep out of the way today, I can tell you that.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Have you got any collecting interest?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Do you know about antiques? - Our dad's got a...
0:02:03 > 0:02:06He is a collector, and has been for some time.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Has that rubbed off him?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- We hope so.- What sort of things does your dad collect?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13It's mainly Victoriana that he collects.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Particularly Gilbert and Sullivan, bits and bobs.- Really?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Getting to be difficult to find that.- Yeah.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I don't see much HMS Pinafore lurking about.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Anyway, so, you're full of confidence?- Yes.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Youth is on your side. You have incredible energy, right?- Yes.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- You're going to go out there and win?- Obviously.- Yes.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32That's the attitude. Now, are you quaking in your boots, you two?
0:02:32 > 0:02:37- Absolutely.- I'd say, don't fall out with them, all right?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Whatever they say, if they look a bit aggressive, agree.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- We'll run.- Yes, that's it.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45So, Catherine, how did you and Malc meet?
0:02:45 > 0:02:50We met on a cruise, and I spent a week running away from him.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Then we came back a couple.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54They say this cruising is very romantic.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Well, 41 years.- 41 years ago?!
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Today.- Today?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- It's not your 41st wedding anniversary!- It is.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07That is something else! Well, congratulations. How lovely.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10So, where were you cruising to, can you remember?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- A cruise around the Greek islands. - But it all went wrong.- Oh, yes.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Did it?- It was meant to be a luxury cruise ship and it wasn't ready,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19so they put us on a converted car ferry.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Oh, lovely. That sounds really romantic.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26We had two deck chairs and one tennis ball between about 300 of us.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Well, never mind.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30There wasn't anything else to do, so we had to get together.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33You had to fall in love. How sweet is that?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Malcolm, you are retired now. What did you do before you retired?
0:03:36 > 0:03:41Well, I worked in a bank for 25 years and became assistant manager.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Walked out, we bought a shop
0:03:43 > 0:03:45down on the south coast and then I started a driving school.
0:03:45 > 0:03:51I did that for 17 years and put 1,200 new idiots on the road.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Oh, I love that. That is another good one.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- You don't drive, you two, by any chance?- No.- Very sensible.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- He's retired now.- Don't go to Malcolm's driving school,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03that's what I can tell you. Anyway, your luck is
0:04:03 > 0:04:06about to be tested cos here is your £300. £300 apiece.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!
0:04:10 > 0:04:11And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Well, our teams are going to need some expertise
0:04:14 > 0:04:17to help them in their profiteering.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20For the martial-arts-loving Reds, it is the gavel-wielding auctioneer
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Ms Anita Manning.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25And for the Blues, they will be relying on the experience
0:04:25 > 0:04:28and know-how of Mr Mark Stacey.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- You guys are into martial arts. - We are indeed.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36How exciting is this!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Are we going to slash our way to profit?- We are.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40We're going to chop our way to it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Your anniversary?- 41 years.
0:04:42 > 0:04:4541 years, and it doesn't seem a day or too long.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47I don't know about that.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- You like jewellery?- Yes, yes.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Oh! I love jewellery! - I knew that would suit you.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- We've got an hour. - With your help, we'll do it.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56HE LAUGHS
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Oh, you mad fools!- Wonderful, they've got faith in you, Mark.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03What could possibly go wrong? Don't answer that.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11When you are bargaining, the most valuable tool, my darlings,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13is a lovely, big smile.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Smile?- A big smile.- We've got those. - Have we got those?
0:05:16 > 0:05:21A karate chop, delivered with a smile. That'll do it.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29I think this guy climbs up the rope.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- You know?- Oh, right, there you go.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- There we go. - That looks like hard work.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39They're made in China. Made in China.
0:05:39 > 0:05:46Tinplate toys. This looks like a sort of Donald Duck character.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Yeah, nice colours to him. - OK. Mm...
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Hello. We were just wondering the price of your tinplate toys.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59- They're various prices, from £30 to £40.- In that? A-ha.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- So, maybe keep them in mind. - Yeah, yeah.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Tinplate toys, collectibles.- Yeah. - OK, guys. Thank you very much.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Thank you.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Something to toy with there, Reds.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Now, can Mark propel the Blues into action?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16My grandfather was an aviation pioneer.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Shall I pick it up and we can have a look at it?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I don't think I'd manage to pick it up. Oh, isn't it beautiful?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Do you like that?- I do!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I don't know whether anybody would want it.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Well, you know, polished up and things, that would look rather nice.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31But where would you stick it, Mark?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33It looks to me...
0:06:33 > 0:06:38The clock has got a nice retailer's mark there from Portsmouth.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- I think it is gorgeous. - Should we ask how much it is?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Malcolm?- Yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45How much is the propeller?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- One and a half, 150. - An awful lot of money for one thing.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Well, it is a nice-looking thing. It is quite unusual.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- It is very unusual. - And I like your reaction, you know,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57that your grandfather was in aviation.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- He had his own airport. - Did he? Whereabouts?
0:07:00 > 0:07:05- Up in the Midlands.- Radcliffe. - Really? How wonderful!
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Well, it just fits you perfectly.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Well, it does, rather.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- What about the price, though? - Well...- It's an awful... 150.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Let's think about it. I don't think it is going to get sold very quickly.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19It doesn't look like it, it's been here all day.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- We can always come back to that and think about it.- It is lovely.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24That's one to think about, Blues,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28but you're going to have to start haggling sooner or later.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Best foot forward.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- What sort of price is it?- 75.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- What would be your best price on that?- 85.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43THEY LAUGH
0:07:43 > 0:07:46These stall holders are a canny lot.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- This is great.- Oh, actually...
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- You like those, boys? - Yeah, let's have a look.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53That one, I think, is rather nice.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I quite like that one, as well, actually.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- That's the most expensive one.- They have got good taste, haven't they?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- 85.- 85. A-ha.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06These are made of agate, and these agates were found
0:08:06 > 0:08:11in the burns and streams and the shores of Scotland.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Oh, right.- And they were taken down to Edinburgh, to the New Town,
0:08:15 > 0:08:19where you had people who polished and sliced these stones
0:08:19 > 0:08:22and mounted them on silver, on these lovely pieces.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25So, they came from the burns.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31But could that arrow get us a profit?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Well, would it matter that...? It might just be I'm not seeing it,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- but would it matter that it's not hallmarked?- Yeah.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41No, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter on these at all.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Because they'd be doing it for the design.- Yeah,
0:08:43 > 0:08:45they're doing it for the design.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48The absolute death, and there's no bidding, no further bidding,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- is £75.- What do you think?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- I think we should go for it. I like that.- I think so.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I think you've made a good decision, boys,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00because you've bought the best,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03and the best will always be fancied.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- That's lovely.- Thank you so much. Cheers. Thank you.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Well done, lads, that's your first lot got.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13And, surprise, surprise, it's a wee bit Scottish.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- That is a hell of a lump. - It is, isn't it?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18You'd need a strong wall to hang it on, wouldn't you?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Well, yes.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22That is probably a terrible amount of money.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Yes, I'm sure it is. - Shall we have a laugh?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Go on then, let's have a laugh. - How much is your panel here?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- It's way out of your range. - I thought it might be.- That'll do.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Thanks, that'll do. Well, we did well.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33That's told us, hasn't it?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36It is going according to plan so far, isn't it?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Don't lose heart, Blues, there's plenty to choose from.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42The trick is being decisive and coming prepared.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Speaking of coming prepared...
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Do you want a wee glass?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Oh, he's got his own glass! - We brought one along just in case.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55Well done! I think I've got a couple of professionals here.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Well, well, well, that hasn't seen ink for a few years.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00December, 1901.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Yeah, so it's over 100 years old,
0:10:02 > 0:10:06just the beginning of the Edwardian period.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10And it's been given to someone as a presentation,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- which means that it's the best. - That's quite nice.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17And you have a further detail on the base of it, where it's cut.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- The glass is nice.- That's good.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I mean, why take the bother?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Is there any damage round there? That's very important.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28It seems to feel in pretty good order, actually.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31It has been an item which has been loved.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34It has been given as a gift and it has been treasured and cherished.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Right, yeah.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40And could you imagine if it were...? It's a teacher it was given to?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42It's given by the...
0:10:43 > 0:10:48"For 25 years' service by a few friends and parents."
0:10:48 > 0:10:52So, it may have been that it was a schoolteacher.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Yeah, that sounds about right.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58In thanks for all the help she has given to children.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- How much is this one? - It's marked for 150.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Can you take a bit off of it for us?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I'll do 125.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10125. What do you think, guys?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- I think we should go for it, definitely, yeah.- I agree.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- I think you've chosen quality again, guys.- Well, only the best.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Only the best. They're going to take it. Thank you very much.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Cheers, thank you.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Only the best will do. But will it do best at auction?
0:11:24 > 0:11:30That's two items, guys. Two items, yeah. We've got one more.
0:11:30 > 0:11:3420 minutes gone. Anita and the Reds are racing ahead of the Blues.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- I think we've done very well so far. - You like that inkwell.- I do, yeah.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I like the brooch. Very nice indeed.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Anita's guiding us, keeping us in line, I think, as well.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45The boys are doing wonderfully well.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Often you get complacent if you bag the first two quickly,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51and you lose time.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55So, I'm going to remind them that they don't have a lot of time left
0:11:55 > 0:11:59and they have got to find something really quite quickly.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Quite right. No time for complacency here, especially not
0:12:02 > 0:12:06in the Blue camp. Come along, chaps, let's get you off the mark.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Eh, Mark?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Would have you seen there? - I just rather like it.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Well, it's very typically late 19th century. I think it's continental.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- It has got very old hangers on it. - Yeah, it's very old.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19And the subject's quite pretty, isn't it?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21With the bluebirds and the ducklings.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Oh, it is signed there. Look, 1882.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- It's...- It's really quirky.- It is. I think it's absolutely gorgeous.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Have we got a dealer? - How much is this?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- 180.- Oh, gosh, it's 180.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Shame it's so expensive.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39We do have to buy things, though,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42and I think Malcolm is rather taken with this. Aren't you, Malcolm?
0:12:42 > 0:12:47- I am.- That is so beautiful. Well, let's think about it.- OK.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- If we have to...- OK. That's two things we're thinking about now.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53And maybe sometime we'll buy something, hopefully.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I think Mark is going to have to get pretty firm
0:12:56 > 0:12:59with these Blues and get them haggling. It's the name
0:12:59 > 0:13:02of the game if you want to piece together some good profits.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05And I'm trying to piece together something rather special
0:13:05 > 0:13:07that's caught my eye here.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09So, what's all this? A heap of old junk?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Well, there are some rather strange parts here.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18Sad face, bearded, mournful.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Next door, a piece of torso.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22With fantastic abs, look.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25And then that bit in the middle,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27it's something fishy, it is the tail of the fish
0:13:27 > 0:13:30covering up his crown jewels.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Here we have got another piece, back view.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36And underneath that, two detached arms
0:13:36 > 0:13:40and then some squiggly bits of metal at the bottom.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Well, the secret with this thing is that the metal
0:13:43 > 0:13:45that's been used is bronze.
0:13:45 > 0:13:52In sculpture, it denotes something of some quality.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Now, if I pick up the face of this character,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58that actually is extremely finely defined.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01If you pick up the torso bit,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03you get to see this even better.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07If I put the back part
0:14:07 > 0:14:10and the front part together,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13shove the face on top of the torso,
0:14:13 > 0:14:19and hey, presto - this jigsaw starts to come alive.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22And the two curlicue bits fit on either side
0:14:22 > 0:14:25and they crawl underneath him and around him
0:14:25 > 0:14:29because they are his tail, because this fellow is a merman.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Why is it in all these bits, though?
0:14:32 > 0:14:37Well, the secret is that these bits have been used by a foundry master
0:14:37 > 0:14:43to cast further editions of this particular piece of sculpture.
0:14:43 > 0:14:49Well, I have never seen one of these prefabricated bronze casters' figures before,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51and I think it's a pretty rare object.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53As far as its date is concerned,
0:14:53 > 0:14:58I'm hoping that it's French, late 17th century, early 18th century.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03If I'm right, it ought to be worth about £3,000 or £4,000.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07What might you have to pay for it here at Ardingly,
0:15:07 > 0:15:11on an outside stall? It could be yours for £80.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Ooh, la, la!
0:15:13 > 0:15:1640 minutes in and the Blues haven't bought a thing.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19At this rate, they will never be crowned champions.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Oh, isn't that lovely!
0:15:22 > 0:15:26It's a bit like sort of Edward The Confessor's crown, isn't it?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28How beautiful.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- What have you found there?- That.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Very regal.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Not convinced, Mark, eh?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I don't know what you would do with this.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41No, not at all, but you could hang things from it.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Sort of kitchen utensils or something,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45but it's actually a shade. I think it's a lampshade.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49I think it probably is an old lampshade. Would it sell?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I have no idea.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54But at some point in the game, we're going to have to dip
0:15:54 > 0:15:57our hands in the pockets and say we are going to do something!
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Absolutely.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Yes, that's the idea. Be firm, Mark,
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- they'll spend something soon, surely.- I like that.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- You like that?- Yes.- Malcolm, you spotted that, why did you pick up?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- What attracted you to it? - Your heritage.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- What's your heritage?- Oh, well,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I come from a titled family.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Do you? Come on, spill. - I descend from Henry VIII.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22His sister, Margaret Tudor, was my grandmother.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23- Grandmother?- Yes.- Great...
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Great-great-great-great-grandmother. - I was going to say,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28"A bit further back than that, darling."
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- Otherwise, I would say you are aging very well.- I am. Historic.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Well, look, it's priced up at £22.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Should I go and have a word with the dealer and see what we can do?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- See what we can do.- All right. You carry on looking.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49She said we can have it for £15.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Well, I think that's a bargain. - Yes.- Well, I think we should say
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- yes to that.- I think so. - That's our first purchase.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- 15 quid.- Done.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Hallelujah!
0:16:57 > 0:17:00They look at some pricey pieces
0:17:00 > 0:17:04and what do they cough up after all that? £15.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Come on, Blues, there is still £285 in the kitty
0:17:07 > 0:17:08and not a lot of time.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Oh, yeah, that's quite nice.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Should we have a look at it? - Let's have a look.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Have a wee look at it. - Careful there.- It's certainly big.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Have a look at the base, see if we have got a maker.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20No maker as such.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23It's just a nice, big Staffordshire pot.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25It's quite substantial. Want to hold it?
0:17:25 > 0:17:29It's going from... You boys like Victorian-style,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32and this is going towards a simpler style,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35into the Edwardian period.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Should we ask him?- Only if you...
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I mean, we've still got a bit of time, guys,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- and there are still lots of places up there.- Yeah.- We know where it is.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45You know where it is.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Yeah, I'd give that one the chop if I were you.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I love that red vase.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- This one?- Yeah. Isn't it beautiful?
0:17:57 > 0:17:58It's Doulton, isn't it?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01You're absolutely right, it's Doulton,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04and it's known as a range of ware called flambe,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07where they have this very bright glaze.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09And it's sort of painted with a fishermen.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12They are normally by somebody called Noke.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15This is... Yes, it says they are flambe woodcut.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18And their shape number is 1617.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22The mark is the mark for 1902 to 1932, I think.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24It's...
0:18:25 > 0:18:26I'm not hungry.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I'm checking to make sure it has not been restored.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- And it seems all right. - I love the colour. I go for red.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Would you like me to see what the lowest price is from the dealer?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Shall I do that?- Yeah, OK. - Yeah, that's more like it.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- Have a good haggle, Mark. - Would you like it?- Yeah.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49The dealer says that the margin on this is a little bit tight.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54- I would pay £80 for it.- Well, that's the lowest she can take.- 80?
0:18:54 > 0:18:5680. We've still got a bit of money to find...
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- Maybe the plate that Malcolm liked so much.- Absolutely, yes.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02We could negotiate a bit on that.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- That's a good idea.- And then we'd have our three items.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- What do you think? - We'll go with that.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- I'll try, I'll just try one more. - Try hard.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Nothing we wanted to buy, but everything we loved.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22How lovely. A chap could get a bit misty-eyed.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- 75.- Done.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Well done, Mark, and the Blues are cooking with gas,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31in a flambe style.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- See the wee lady's enamelled watch. - That's quite nice, actually.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Very pretty at the back. That's so beautiful.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Give me 90 quid. Look at the enamel on that.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I don't know if it's Faberge or not.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47If it was Faberge, you would know.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I leave it to you people.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55That's a nice little watch. It's from the 1930s.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58The porcelain of the face is in good condition.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02It has this lovely green enamel around here.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04So, we like that.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07But even better, we turn it round to the back,
0:20:07 > 0:20:11we see a nice picture of a romantic, young couple.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Looks as if they're walking on the beach.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18- So, it's a nice watch. Is that one working?- Yeah, it's guaranteed.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- Got a two-year guarantee. - Two-year guarantee.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- Yep, it's ticking away like a good'un.- Could we buy that for £50?
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Can you call the police? I think they're trying to nick my watch.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- Well, it was worth a try. - It's a beautiful watch.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Would you go to 70?
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- Will it be cash?- It's always cash.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Shake hands.- Is that all right with you guys?- Cheers.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Thank you. Very much.- If you do well, come back and give me
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- another few quid. - I'll try and remember.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Yes, of course they will.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Ow!
0:20:54 > 0:20:57So, that's it, Reds, third deal done. You can breathe easy.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00The Blues are still one short and time is ticking away.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03They have spotted a few pieces, but which to go for?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06The big charger. You've packed it up, have you?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Look, it's come back out of the bag. Look at that.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Just think of the diesel you'll save not taking it home.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Has diesel really gone up that much?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17That's a very good point.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21I mean, it's lovely. I do love it. I just...
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I haven't a clue what it will make at auction.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26If two or three people love it, it will be great.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30But 180 I think is quite a lot for us.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32150?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- I can do 165.- Oh!
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Halfway? 160?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Go on, go on.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46A dashing smile from Malcolm and it's job done for the Blues.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- I'm surplus to requirements. - Nonsense, Mark.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52They couldn't have done it without you.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Hey, bring my plate back!
0:21:56 > 0:21:59That's it, shopping time's over.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Let's remind ourselves what the Red Team bought, eh?
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Do you get the point?
0:22:03 > 0:22:07First up, our boys and Anita found the Red's arrow.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11The agate brooch costs them £75.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15And they dipped their nibs in at the silver-mounted glass inkwell.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18And it drew up at £125.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21With plenty of time to spare, they found their third item,
0:22:21 > 0:22:25a lady's enamelled wristwatch for a charming £70.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Three items of very nice quality, I'm delighted.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Hey, you ought to be delighted. Have you had a lovely time?
0:22:31 > 0:22:32I had a lovely time.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Was that a shopping experience to die for?- Oh, it was.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- The best.- Now, Robert, which is your favourite piece?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Got to be the enamelled watch, Tim. - Do you agree with that, Chris?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43I think the watch is pretty good, but the arrow brooch
0:22:43 > 0:22:44- is a close second for me.- Is it?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Will that bring the biggest profit?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- I think the watch might. - Bags and bags of cash.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Bags and bags of cash. Don't you love the attitude?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Talking of cash, how much did you spend?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- A whopping 270.- £270, that is such a mature amount of money.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00The brothers, I think, have it, don't you?
0:23:00 > 0:23:01I think they have it in spades.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- So, who has got the £30? - That would be me, Tim. I've got it.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09- 30 right there.- Very good. Sort of meagre pickings for you today.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Well, it's not a lot of money and people are packing up,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15so I'll have to get out and do a bit of work.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17You will, you will. Anyway, interesting to see what happens.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Good luck, chaps. Relax up now.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Meanwhile, why don't we check out how the Blues are getting on, eh?
0:23:23 > 0:23:27After much hunting, the Blues found their crowning first item.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29But it hardly cost a king's ransom.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31They were on fire with their second purchase -
0:23:31 > 0:23:35the flambe vase cost them £75.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38And they were drawn back to their hand-painted plate,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41and spent £160. Wow.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44But it all came together at the last minute, didn't it?
0:23:44 > 0:23:45It did rather, didn't it?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Well, thank goodness it did all come together,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- otherwise we'd be in trouble, wouldn't we?- We would, would we?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Yes.- Catherine, which is the favourite piece that you bought?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- The plate.- That's your favourite piece? Do agree with that?
0:23:56 > 0:24:00- I do agree with it.- That's because you are such an agreeable couple.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- Well, 41 years.- I know. - I've had time to learn.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Quite right. Always agree. And what was the total expenditure?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- £250.- 250?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12I'd like £50 of leftover lolly. There you go.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15£50, 50 smackers for you. Mark, what are you going to spend it on?
0:24:15 > 0:24:19I've got something they've always wanted in mind, Tim.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Have you?
0:24:20 > 0:24:26Oh, that's a bit enigmatic. A bit too deep for us on daytime.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Anyway, good luck. Have a nice relax, team.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Meanwhile, we are heading to the west of England,
0:24:31 > 0:24:33actually to Bristol. Oo-arr!
0:24:35 > 0:24:40I'm here in Bristol, the home of the BBC's Natural History Unit.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45The production teams here are responsible for bringing us some
0:24:45 > 0:24:50of the most groundbreaking natural history programming of all time.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55A profound interest in natural history has been one
0:24:55 > 0:25:02of the defining features of British art in the 18th and 19th centuries.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Here at the Bristol Museum And Art Gallery,
0:25:05 > 0:25:12is an artist's interpretation of a story of truly biblical proportions.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29Galleries like this throughout the land are full of pictures.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33They come sometimes by way of gift, sometimes they are acquired,
0:25:33 > 0:25:38sometimes they come in all shapes and sizes.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42But not so many come in the scale of this picture
0:25:42 > 0:25:47by Jan Griffier. I mean, this is an enormous picture, isn't it?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I'm six feet tall - what's this?
0:25:50 > 0:25:5312 feet by 12 feet, something like that.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58And it is painted with oil on canvas and was completed,
0:25:58 > 0:26:04we think, early in the 18th century, say about 1710, something like that.
0:26:04 > 0:26:10It, of course, depicts the biblical scene of Noah and his Ark,
0:26:10 > 0:26:15with the animals entering this enormous Baroque-looking ark
0:26:15 > 0:26:16two by two.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20By what is interesting is the way that Griffier
0:26:20 > 0:26:24has seriously studied the animal form.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28And you are able to identify species in their embarkation.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32In part, that's because Griffier worked with the great
0:26:32 > 0:26:38British ornithological and animal painter Francis Barlow.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41They worked together in the 1680s.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45And this etching shows a work after Barlow
0:26:45 > 0:26:47that was engraved by Griffier.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51To create an engraving like this, Griffier would have taken
0:26:51 > 0:26:56a copper plate and covered it in some black, sooty, waxy stuff.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00And then, with a variety of engraving tools,
0:27:00 > 0:27:02would have scratched through the black,
0:27:02 > 0:27:08sooty stuff and then inserted the copper plate into a vat of acid.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12The acid ate away at the metal where the sooty stuff
0:27:12 > 0:27:14was scratched away.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18You removed the sooty stuff and there is the copper plate,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20engraved with the drawing.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Ink it up, put it on a piece of paper and - hey, presto -
0:27:24 > 0:27:27you create a delicious image like this.
0:27:27 > 0:27:33Now, the similarities between this etching and the picture
0:27:33 > 0:27:38are quite close, particularly in relation to these two animals.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42The fellow in the foreground is quite clearly an ostrich.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46But the bird next door to him is something called a cassowary.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Have you ever seen a cassowary?
0:27:49 > 0:27:54Well, nor have I, actually, but they are apparently horrible birds.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58They are extremely bad tempered, very unpredictable
0:27:58 > 0:28:02and they are big and strong and perfectly capable of maiming
0:28:02 > 0:28:07you or a zoo keeper, which is why we don't see so many in zoos.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12They stay largely in New Guinea and Australia.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Whatever you might think of the picture,
0:28:14 > 0:28:16you have to agree that it is big.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18As big, we hope,
0:28:18 > 0:28:22as the profits our teams are going to make today over at the auction.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42From Ardingly, if you take the 272, which is the Pilgrim Way,
0:28:42 > 0:28:45where do you pitch up? You pitch up in Canterbury,
0:28:45 > 0:28:48at Canterbury Auction with Anthony Pratt, if you're lucky.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49Good to have you back again.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Great. Now, Christopher and Robert, first up, with Anita,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55have gone with this wee Scottish brooch.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56Nice agate bar, isn't it?
0:28:56 > 0:28:58It's a nice, little brooch,
0:28:58 > 0:29:00with a banded agate in the centre there
0:29:00 > 0:29:02and the silver. It's nicely engraved.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Yes. So, what is it worth, Anthony?
0:29:04 > 0:29:06I have been a bit mean. It is probably worth £30 to £50.
0:29:06 > 0:29:0930 to 50? 75 paid.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Full price, I think.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12All right, fair enough.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Moving on to the little glass inkwell here,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17which is solid silver-mounted.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- Is that a good thing or bad thing? - I think it's nice quality.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22The casting and the chasing is very nice.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26And it's all there, hobnail-cut base.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29It deserves to do well. It is a functional, useful piece.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- How much?- 80 to 120 on that.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- Oh, Lordy, £125 paid. - A little too much.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Moving on to the watch.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40How do you rate the gilt metal and enamel little wristwatch?
0:29:40 > 0:29:42It's a reasonable quality wristwatch.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45The enamel is good quality, but sadly, gilt metal, not silver.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Odd, that, isn't it? Because the enamel is great.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50I mean, I love that little picture on the back.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- That's special, isn't it? - Very good quality.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54- It is surprising. - OK, what's it worth then?
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- I put £30 to £50 on it. - They paid £70.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Uniquely, we have three objects,
0:29:59 > 0:30:02which we are predicting too much has been paid for.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04In which case, they'll need the bonus buy.
0:30:04 > 0:30:05Let's go and have a look at it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Well, Robert, Christopher, this is the moment.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09We are nearly on the edge.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11You gave Anita all of £30, not a fortune.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12What did Anita spend it on?
0:30:12 > 0:30:14You clever girl.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18The boys and I were looking at tinplate toys earlier on,
0:30:18 > 0:30:22so I bought them a tinplate toy.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- Oh, guys.- Oh, Lord.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29The stallholders were packing up, I was under time pressure,
0:30:29 > 0:30:30I looked at this little creature.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33It gazed at me with its light-up eyes,
0:30:33 > 0:30:35which don't light up,
0:30:35 > 0:30:39its poor, scruffy old coat and its broken paw
0:30:39 > 0:30:43and my heart melted and I had to buy it.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Boys, I might have made a bit of a mistake.
0:30:46 > 0:30:52But I couldn't resist it. It's Japanese, it's post-war.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54I paid £15 for him.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57We might get away with it, but what do you think?
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Is he melting your hearts, boys?
0:30:59 > 0:31:01- What do you reckon? - It's quite funky,
0:31:01 > 0:31:04isn't it? But the big question here, Anita, is...
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Is it going to get us loads of money?
0:31:06 > 0:31:09It's not going to get you loads of money, boys.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11We get to cross our paws, actually, that's what we old dogs do.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Maybe a walk in the park.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16A walk in the park. I think we'll stop while we're ahead
0:31:16 > 0:31:20and find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's dog.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Well, Tony, here is something really special for you.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25Thank you for that, Tim.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29I really can't quite think what I'm going to say about this.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31It's Japanese. Probably 1950s or '60s.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- But I think it's had a rather hard life.- So odd, though, isn't it?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38To have that Scotty tartan hat
0:31:38 > 0:31:42and then really weird light-bulb eyes, watch-bulb eyes.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- Two different kinds of blue. - Two different kinds of blue.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Anita paid £15. She rates it as a profitable opportunity.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- We went for two to five. - Oh, did you? How embarrassing.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54I've never had anything so low in my catalogue.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Have you never had such a low estimate? Lord.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Well, it's kind of you to try for us at all.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Anyway, that's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Their first item is weird.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07That's the top of a chandelier or light fitting, isn't it?
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Absolutely. Nice quality, but just missing the rest of it.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13And on its own, is it worth a pound or two?
0:32:13 > 0:32:15We've only put five to ten pounds on it.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- I think that's very generous. - It is good quality.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Malcolm paid £15.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Anyway, it's neither here nor there. Moving on, is the Doulton.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- How do you rate that? - Again, nice quality vase.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Not the most popular of patterns, but this one is a good example.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31In good condition, as well.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- So, I've put £60 to £80 on this. - £75 they paid.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37What's much more my cup of tea, though,
0:32:37 > 0:32:38is this earthenware plate.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- Isn't that just a honey? - It's just stunning.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45I think it's beautiful quality. It's been beautifully decorated.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I think it's a continental plaque that was sold in white
0:32:48 > 0:32:50and then decorated by an amateur.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- But this amateur was a very good hand there.- Yes. I mean,
0:32:54 > 0:32:56if you look at those sweet little chicks,
0:32:56 > 0:33:00they are straight out of Walt Disney
0:33:00 > 0:33:0340 years before Walt Disney did anything.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05And then the tits in the sky and the fruit...
0:33:05 > 0:33:08I mean, every single respect that you look
0:33:08 > 0:33:12at the decoration on that thing, it is amazing.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- It's got everything going on it. - It's got everything going for it.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Lovely to hang in a nursery or something like that.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Absolutely.- What's it worth then? - I put 80 to 120 on it.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23OK, that's a good leading estimate.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- To tempt people. - We hope it will tempt them,
0:33:26 > 0:33:29because they paid 160 and they need all the tempting they can get.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30All around, though,
0:33:30 > 0:33:33I suspect they're definitely going to need their bonus buy.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Let's go and have a look at it.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37Malcolm, Catherine, welcome.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41You spent 250, you gave Mark Stacey £50 of leftover lolly.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Mark, what did you spend it on?
0:33:43 > 0:33:46I spent it on something you've always wanted.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Something silver. Let me hand you that.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53- It's a Guernsey milk churn. - Isn't it beautiful!- Do you like it?
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- I do. On its own?- No, funny you should mention it
0:33:57 > 0:33:59as I'm going to hand one over to Tim.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- Oh, look!- Look at that! - Which is a pair of them.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- Do you like them? - Oh, they're beautiful, yeah.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08It doesn't stop there.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- It doesn't stop there cos there's a third one.- No!- Oh, my!
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- How much did you have? - Well, I had £50.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- Yes.- And I blew the lot on these three.- Are they're all silver?
0:34:18 > 0:34:22All silver. I thought that was a pretty good buy, actually.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- £50 for three?- You did want some silver, and I had that in mind.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Because we have to listen to her, don't we?- Absolutely.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31So, I followed our orders.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33What, he's deaf, he never listens to me.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37- Well, isn't that nice? Do you like them, Malcolm?- I do, very much.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39How much are they going to make?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- There's got to be 20 to 30 profit in there.- I would think so.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44I hope so, anyway.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46You don't think you're going to double your money then?
0:34:46 > 0:34:50Well, you know, Tim, I like to keep a little bit in reserve.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- You don't want to tease too much. - No, I don't want to tease.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54I'd have a tease if I were you.
0:34:54 > 0:34:59- It's the only profit we're going to make.- Well, don't be like that.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02It ain't over till the fat lady sings.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03But for the audience at home,
0:35:03 > 0:35:06let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's little jugs.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- These are fun, aren't they, Tony? - They are. Nice quality.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13I don't know why in the Channel Islands, in particular,
0:35:13 > 0:35:17they had this spherical milk and fluid container,
0:35:17 > 0:35:18but it's attractive.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Yep. Always referred to as Jersey milk cans.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Normally a larger size than this, obviously.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25These are miniature, little souvenirs.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27But they are all silver, estimated at £70 to £100.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Oh, well that's good, because Mark paid 50.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31A very good buy then.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35The big question is will the team go with the bonus buy.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Anyway, we'll see.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- Now, Robert, Christopher, how are you feeling?- Very well, thank you.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48- Feeling confident? - Yeah, I'd say so.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50That doesn't sound so confident.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- I haven't decided yet.- We're trying. - That is difficult, isn't it?
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Not deciding whether you're confident or not.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57No, seriously, it's the moment, isn't it?
0:35:57 > 0:35:59- It's always nice in a crowded sale room.- Yeah.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03- But you come to sales quite a lot, don't you?- We do, yeah.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04So, you know what it's all about.
0:36:04 > 0:36:09The first lot up is going to be the arrow brooch, and here it comes.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11This Scottish silver-metal-mounted agate brooch,
0:36:11 > 0:36:12with arrow design.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15A delightful little brooch here. Who will start me at £30?
0:36:15 > 0:36:19- Come on.- 30 for the brooch? 30 I have.
0:36:19 > 0:36:2235, where? Who's 35?
0:36:22 > 0:36:2635 I have. 40. 45. 50.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- 55?- Go.- 55, someone?- Come on!
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Who is 55? Selling at £50, the bid standing.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34- All in at £50 then.- No money.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36- £50.- What a shame.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40- That was a particularly pretty one. - It was a good one, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Now, here comes the inkwell.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Birmingham, 1900.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Been engraved there. Good quality inkwell then.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48£60?
0:36:49 > 0:36:5260 for the inkwell? 60 on the Internet.
0:36:52 > 0:36:5665? 70? 75, the Internet. 75 where?
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- I'm not liking this. - 70 I have in the room,
0:36:59 > 0:37:0375 where? 75. 80? 85. 90?
0:37:03 > 0:37:0490 for someone?
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Selling at £85. Are we all done then?- £85.
0:37:07 > 0:37:12Oh, no! Minus £40.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14OK, that quickly, it's not too bad. Minus 65.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Now, here comes the enamelled watch.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Delightful little wrist watch with the enamel, decorative back.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24We have commission bids, we start at £60. 65 where?
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- That's close.- Who is 65?
0:37:26 > 0:37:30The watch there. 65 for someone?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Selling at £60 then. Are we all done then?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35On commission at £60...
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Sold for £60, which is minus ten pounds,
0:37:37 > 0:37:39which means overall you are minus 75.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41What are we going to do about the old dog?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Oh, we're going to go for it.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46It's going to make us bajillions.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- We'll make loads of money with it. - That's confidence for you.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51- Anyway, that, I take it, is a yes?- Yes.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54We are going with the Japanese tinplate dog, and here it comes.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57He is looking for new home. At 135-A.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Ten pounds?- Oh, please.
0:37:59 > 0:38:04- Ten pounds I have.- Somebody has gone for it.- 15 where? Who is 15?
0:38:04 > 0:38:0615 I have, 20?
0:38:06 > 0:38:1025. 30. 35? 35, someone?
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Who is 35?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14I have 30 on my left. 35 anywhere?
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Selling at £30 then. Are we all done?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Well done, Anita, doubled your cash.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21I wasn't barking up the wrong tree after all.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Yeah, you certainly weren't.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25And it went for a walk at that, I tell you.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Anyway, that's plus 15,
0:38:27 > 0:38:29which means, overall, your score is minus 60.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Now, the way things are today, that could be a winning score, right?
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Could be.- On that basis, don't say a word to the Blues.
0:38:41 > 0:38:47- Catherine, Malcolm, how are you? - Very fine.- "Very fine."
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Do you know how the Reds got on? No? We don't want you to.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54Anyway, first up then is the pendant fitting, and here it comes.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Continental brass crown pattern pendant mount. Good quality item.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Ten pounds?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Ten I have. 15 where?
0:39:02 > 0:39:0615 for someone? Selling at ten pounds then.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- All done?- No!- Come on!
0:39:08 > 0:39:09To our youngest customer.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14- Terrible.- Now, here comes the bottle vase.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17These are Royal Doulton pottery flambe woodcut bottle-shaped vase.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19A big decorative vase at 150-B.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- £50?- Yes.- 50 I have.
0:39:22 > 0:39:2355 where?
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Who is 55 then?
0:39:25 > 0:39:26I have £50 on my left.
0:39:26 > 0:39:3055? 55. 60. 65. 70.
0:39:30 > 0:39:3275? 75 for someone?
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Selling at £70. The bid is still on my left.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38- All done at £70?- One more. - Come on.- No further bid then?
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- £70, was it? Was it £70? It was, wasn't it?- 75.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Big imposing charger there, 16 in diameter.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Who will start me at £50?
0:39:47 > 0:39:5050 where? 50. Hush out there.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52- Come on!- Is anybody out there at all?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54£50, the charger. 50 I have.
0:39:54 > 0:39:5655. 60.
0:39:56 > 0:39:5960? 60. 65?
0:39:59 > 0:40:00- 70.- Come on!
0:40:01 > 0:40:0570? 75. 80. 85.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07- 90?- It's creeping.- No?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09One more? 90.
0:40:09 > 0:40:1195.
0:40:11 > 0:40:1395. 100?
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Top it off?
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Selling at £95 then. All done then?
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Oh, £95.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23That's five off a 100, that's minus 65.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25I'm afraid overall you are minus £75.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Minus £75, what are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- Are you going to go with it? - We're going to go with it.
0:40:30 > 0:40:31- Go with it. - We trust the lad.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35OK, you're going with a bonus buy, and here it comes.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38The Victorian silver model of the Guernsey milk pail.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40And the two other items with it.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Delightful little things or souvenirs of the Channel Islands.
0:40:43 > 0:40:44£100, someone?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46£100 I have. 110 where?
0:40:46 > 0:40:47Who is 110?
0:40:47 > 0:40:51110 I have. 120? 130?
0:40:51 > 0:40:52Who is 130?
0:40:52 > 0:40:54No further bid? Come on, there.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58- Come on, one more.- Come on, one more.- Selling at 120.- One more!
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Nobody is into action here, apparently.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03130 for someone?
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Selling at 120 then.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06The bid is on my left still.
0:41:06 > 0:41:11Oh, bad luck. 120 means that's plus 70,
0:41:11 > 0:41:12but as you are minus 75,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15we are still minus five pounds.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18So, you missed making a profit by only five pounds.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21But you need to congratulate him for saving your bacon.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23My gosh, that's a good show.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27Well done, Mark. They wanted to blame you, too.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30I know. I pulled them back.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Listen, minus five pounds could be a winning score,
0:41:33 > 0:41:35don't talk to the Reds.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37All will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45What a great day we've had.
0:41:45 > 0:41:50Every single team has lost on every single item.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54How about that? That is a stellar performance.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Congratulation to the Blues and congratulations to the Reds,
0:41:58 > 0:42:01you have all done miserably badly.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05But haven't we had a lovely time? It has been just bliss, hasn't it?
0:42:05 > 0:42:07What we can do, though, is congratulate our experts
0:42:07 > 0:42:09on the bonus buy,
0:42:09 > 0:42:12because both of our experts have turned in a massive profit.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16Mark, with your profit of £70
0:42:16 > 0:42:18on the Guernsey silver pots
0:42:18 > 0:42:22and, Anita, your £15 profit, darling, on the tinplate dog dog,
0:42:22 > 0:42:26which gave us enormous amusement.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Thereby hangs the score a bit because, sadly,
0:42:29 > 0:42:31the runners-up today are the boys.
0:42:31 > 0:42:32ALL: Oh!
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Your total score, lads, is minus £60, so it's no cash
0:42:36 > 0:42:38- going home, all right?- Really?
0:42:38 > 0:42:39There's no shame if we had a good time.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- A brilliant time, thank you. - I'm glad you enjoyed it.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Congratulations on your profit, Anita.
0:42:44 > 0:42:49And the Blues are going away within a whisker of making money.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Sadly, you are only minus five pounds,
0:42:51 > 0:42:53but you are still in the minus variety,
0:42:53 > 0:42:57but helped out a lot by Mark's £70 profit on those jugs.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Well done for that. We came so close.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02We've been so far. We've had a lovely time.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:43:04 > 0:43:05ALL: Yes!
