0:00:05 > 0:00:08Today, we're in Edinburgh,
0:00:08 > 0:00:12one of the historic centres of the Enlightenment,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16a movement designed to increase knowledge
0:00:16 > 0:00:20and the power of reason for the benefit of society.
0:00:20 > 0:00:25Today, our teams are going to have to use their powers of reasoning
0:00:25 > 0:00:30in order to make informed choices. So, what are we waiting for?
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:56 > 0:01:01Welcome to the Edinburgh Antiques And Collectors fair.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05And continuing the theme of intellectual advancement,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07I have to tell you that each team gets £300
0:01:07 > 0:01:10and an hour to shop for three items.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13What they choose to do with this pearl of knowledge,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15though, is entirely up to them.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21And in today's show, the Reds decide to trade on their charms.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Follow me, come on.- Yeah!
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- Look at me. Look at us. - I'll give you a really big hug.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Whereas the Blues' negotiations... - Come on, let's go.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Let's have a wee look.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- 14 and a kiss.- £13.50 and a kiss.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- ..get physical. - I'll have to make something on it.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- OK.- Hey, there you go!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Let's go meet these naughty teams.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Follow me. So, with any shiny object...
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Well, today for the Reds, we've got Allen and Lori.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55And for the Blues, we've got Jackie and Abby. Welcome.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56- Hi, how are you? - Lovely to see you.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Now, Lori, how did you become friends?
0:01:59 > 0:02:03We met in school, from early on, on the football pitch,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05having fun together and just having a good laugh.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Good. And what did you study at the University?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- I'm still there.- I'm doing English Literature History of Art.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Is this at Edinburgh University? - Yeah, at Edinburgh.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Having a good time.- I bet you are.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- So, Allen, you are at a different university, is that right?- Yeah,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20West of Scotland, Hamilton and Paisley.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22It says here, you're keen on football.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Yeah, pretty much. But I'm a utility man.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Yeah, utility.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- What you call handy.- Yeah, handyman.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32So, do either of you know anything about antiques?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I know a wee bit. My Gran has kind of drummed it into me.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38My dad is a jeweller, as well. He owned his own shop in Glasgow.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41So, from then on, I was playing about with silver and diamonds...
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Losing them. I don't think he knows yet.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- I am very impressed by this. So, you looking forward to it anyway?- Yeah.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- It's lovely to have you on the show and very good luck.- Thanks.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Now, turning to the girls. Jackie, how did you two meet?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54We worked together in Spain in a restaurant.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57About six years ago.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59You've been doing a certain amount of travelling.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Yeah, we like to sail quite a lot.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04And we did some backpacking for about a year around South America
0:03:04 > 0:03:06and then went sailing for ten months in Mexico.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09It was good, good fun. A lot of experiences.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- The odd earthquake and hurricane. - Really?- Yeah.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- What do you do now? - I work in a retail environment.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Right, in a shop that you can't mention.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Yes, but they do a wonderful dine in for two.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20HE LAUGHS
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Well, then. So, Abby, what do you do for living?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26I work in a high street bakers.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- Do you?- Yes.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- That also can't be mentioned. - That can't be mentioned.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I've only worked there for three weeks now.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- Yeah. And it says here that you can speak fluently backwards.- Yes.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39It sounds like Klingon. It's nonsense.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Can you give us "let's go bargain hunting" backwards?- I can. It's...
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Stel og niagrab gnitnuh.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46THEY LAUGH
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I love it, don't you? Stel nob... I can't do it.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- No, no.- Anyway, well done. - If you write it down, it's right.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I believe you. Now the money moment. £300 apiece.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59There goes. £300. You know the rules. Your experts await,
0:03:59 > 0:04:03and off you go! Very, very, very good luck.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I can hardly say "let's go bargain hunting" frontwards,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07leave alone backwards.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13But to guide our teams in the right direction, we need experts.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Weighing in to captain the Blue Team
0:04:16 > 0:04:19is antique's heavyweight Paul Laidlaw.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21And ready to show off our footballers in red
0:04:21 > 0:04:26some fancy footwork of his own is Charles "Twinkle Toes" Hanson.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31- You guys are sailors. Bargains ahoy? - Well, hopefully. Hopefully.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33THEY LAUGH
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- OK, guys, feeling keen? - Yeah, getting into it.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Feeling mean, Lori?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- Let's go.- Let's have a wee look.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- Follow me.- Yeah!
0:04:41 > 0:04:42So, it's all hands on deck.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45But will it be our footballers who set the pace?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Now, watch out, Charles is about to dazzle us with his expertise.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- That's quite nice, isn't it? - Yeah, I like the colour.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04It's, um, it's a vase.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07- Isn't it?- Do you like it?- No.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- What do you think?- I think it's all right.- Why?- What is it?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13It's a vase, OK? It's a vase.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17What we've got here is a tube-lined vase. You've heard of Art Nouveau?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Yeah.- It happened in Glasgow. It happened in Paris.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23And it was the dawn of the 20th century.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27And this vase really encapsulates that great dawn of the new age.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30The way this almost femme fatale and foliage...
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Is it oozing enthusiasm to you? - I quite like the face on it.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- The vase... It's really well gilt. - That's a chip there.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Well spotted.- Good save, Lori.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Is that crack coming off it, as well?- Yes, it's chipped.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Yeah, it's chipped.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- I think we should stay away from damaged items.- I think so.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- The hour is so young, isn't it? - Yeah.- Shall we leave it for a while?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54We can always come back, can't we?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Yeah.- OK, let's go.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Someone's happy about that.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Are you looking at that?- Yeah.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06A letter knife. It's rather nice, isn't it?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08A Japanese-Chinese thing, is it?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11You know, everyone's speculating on anything Oriental at the moment.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15There you go. You see the visage? It's a dragon or a lion. A lion.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20- Yeah.- It's rather nice. I mean, it's a sweet thing, but what is it worth?
0:06:20 > 0:06:2320 to 30 quid. It could be a wee gift.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- What's it selling for today?- 15.- 13.
0:06:26 > 0:06:2813 and I will give you a wee kiss on the cheek.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33- That is an unlucky number.- And a kiss on the cheek.- 14 and a kiss.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- £13.50 and a kiss.- OK.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- There you go, done.- Whatever it takes, loving your work.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I admire your persistence.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Good work, Jackie. That's the first haul for the Blues.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Now it is Lori's turn to show us his skills.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55So, Lori, come over here and tell us about it.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- It's a silver teapot.- Is it silver, though?- Uh, yes.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- What do you look for?- Hallmarks at the bottom.- Absolutely.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Do you have an eye glass? Can I use it?- Yeah, yeah.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08What are the telltale signs of a hallmark? What do you need?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Well, you've usually got one that is a design
0:07:10 > 0:07:12and it'll give you the date of it, as well.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Yeah.- And it also tells you where it is made.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18You need the all-important lion.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Al, the lion that will roar away is the assay mark for silver,
0:07:22 > 0:07:24and that's the mark for sterling silver.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I think that is the maker's mark.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Has it got EPBM or EPM on the base there?- It that a G? A G...
0:07:31 > 0:07:36Put it this way, if it were silver, it'll be about £300,
0:07:36 > 0:07:37how much is it?
0:07:37 > 0:07:42- £300.- Is it really? - Oh, it's £30.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- So it must be...- Silver-plated.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Sorry?- Is it plated?- Yes. - Yeah, plated.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51What you'll do, big Al, on the bottom there,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53just hidden away, can you see?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55It has got EPBM.
0:07:55 > 0:08:01- Electroplated Britannia metal. So it is plated.- I feel really stupid now.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- Big Al, comments? - I'm going to say no.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- Why not? Look at me, why not? - Electromagnetic, that's why.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Well, it caught him out. It magnetised him.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- Put it back. Thank you. - Thanks very much.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21I think that is what you call a own goal.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28The Blues haven't moved very far.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30May I just have a quick look at one of these watches here?
0:08:30 > 0:08:35- Yeah, which one?- This one here. That makes it very elegant.- Nice.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39It is a mid-20th-century shape that the military sometimes used.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41There's nothing much the matter with that.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Is your Omega expensive? - It's £80.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Maybe a wee bit too much. What about your Jaeger?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Jaeger-LeCoultre.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- It's...- Now. It is.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Price?- Price?
0:08:57 > 0:09:02- 120.- He's still got another cheek to kiss.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05So, we've picked up on this, Jaeger-LeCoultre,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08up there with any horological name you can mention.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12This particular one was bought by
0:09:12 > 0:09:14the British military during the Second World War.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17But it's too expensive. I need that for a double-digit sum.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20My very bottom on that is 90.
0:09:20 > 0:09:2250.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- 50 and a kiss on the other cheek. - I have to make something on it.
0:09:25 > 0:09:2850 and a Frenchy, not from me.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Gosh, this is getting a bit fruity.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Not on my watch, eh, Paul!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38What did you say was on the Omega?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I said 80.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- What's on the two?- 150.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Where do we get from 100?- 140.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50These increments are small. 120.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I would be giving one of them away.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54But you'd get a kiss on the other cheek.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57THEY LAUGH
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- 130, are we offering 130? - All right, just to get rid of you.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03THEY LAUGH
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- That's the spirit! - I appreciate that.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Girls...? - Can I get that kiss, dear?- OK.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11There you go!
0:10:11 > 0:10:16It is two-nil to the Blues. The trailing Reds have yet to score.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I'm actually very nervous. We've had half an hour so far.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22And I don't quite know where the other half hour is going to go.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23I have no idea.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- I think Charles might be getting a bit anxious.- Yeah, I know,
0:10:26 > 0:10:27I think is worrying a tad, as well.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- He's with two very picky buyers that won't buy much.- Yeah.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- "No, don't get it."- "No, I don't want it."- It needs to be the best.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36We are not shopping properly. Come on, Charles, get to grips,
0:10:36 > 0:10:37let's find these bargains.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Let's go buy!
0:10:39 > 0:10:42So, will the halftime pep talk rally the team?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- What is that there? - It's a rifle bullet.- Yeah.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52That's what it started life as. Do you want to know what it really is?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- A pen.- You're good!
0:10:55 > 0:10:58You're good, but it's a very special pen.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00It's not actually a pen, it's a pencil.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03But, oh! What is that on there?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05It looks like an M.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Princess Mary.- Really?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Daughter of King George V and Queen Mary.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- This is silver.- That's fantastic. - That is very good.
0:11:15 > 0:11:22In 1914, Princess Mary gifted the troops
0:11:22 > 0:11:25at Christmas and New Year a present.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28And it was a brass tin, and these are quite common,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31and inside that tin, could be cigarettes, tobacco, a card
0:11:31 > 0:11:33or a photograph of her.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36But there was another component that was an option.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39It was what's called the bullet pencil.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- That's one of them. - Are these quite rare now?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- They're... They're scarce.- Right.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47They make about £30 at auction.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- You can always come back on it. - Could you hold onto that for us?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- Give us an option on it?- Absolutely. The price goes up, but never mind.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Storage fee. Thanks very much. Thank you.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Always good to have an item in reserve.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Are the boys going for a bit of tick-tock, too?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12This little pocket watch down here, tell me about it.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- It's a chronograph watch, it's brass-plated.- How much?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I've got 55 on it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23- Did Big Al spot this?- Yeah. - Al, tell me about it.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25What's the origin on it? Is it Swiss?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27It's Swiss made.
0:12:27 > 0:12:321910? Yes, and circa 1910, 1900.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- That sounds good. - Yeah, it's quite nice.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Is it in working order?- Yes.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39There we go, there's your backplate.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Does that backplate open? - Yeah, it should. There we are.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44There's your movement, guys. It's quite a plain movement.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47It's not overly sophisticated, but it is what it is.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49It's a small, gilt brass chronograph.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52£55 isn't expensive, really.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Could we haggle on the price, as well? Would that be possible?
0:12:54 > 0:12:5645. I'll give you a chance at 45.
0:12:56 > 0:13:02It's nice. At auction, I would guide it between £40 and £60.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05So, if we could acquire it for a bit less, I think it is worthy.
0:13:05 > 0:13:11- Could we get...? 35? - I'll meet you halfway at 40.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I'll meet you halfway again, 38?
0:13:13 > 0:13:1537?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Can I get beans with toast every night? 38, OK, 38.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I think, guys, let's get the show on the road. Do you agree?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- Yeah!- Let's do it. Yes? - 38.- We'll take it.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Thanks ever so much.- No problem.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Back of the net! And about time.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39Now, with ten minutes left, what has Paul found for his cabin crew?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Is your telescope an expensive one?
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- I can go for 30.- 30.- £30.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47I'm just going to...
0:13:47 > 0:13:52I know I'm looking down there the wrong way here, but this is the easiest way to test the optics.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- All right.- You've got at least dirty lenses there.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00Everything becomes apparent when you look the wrong way down a telescope.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06But, importantly, the optics are complete and they focus.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- Right.- We are missing a baffle.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- Right.- A sleeve here that would draw forward
0:14:13 > 0:14:16to shade this objective lens.
0:14:16 > 0:14:22But the leather is intact. It is a splendid marine -
0:14:22 > 0:14:23marine, nautical -
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- single-draw telescope.- What is this?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30This is the bit that works!
0:14:30 > 0:14:35Because...it is by... Crichton of London.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40- I've heard of that.- Sold by Fife of Greenock.- There you go.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44You're Scottish. Marine. Scottish. Date-wise...
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Third-quarter 19th century.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I mean, it's got to be worth 40 to 60 any day of the week.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- Yes.- It's got legs.- Hiya.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- You said £30 was your price for this?- Yes.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Is that the best price you can do for it?- That's the best.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Cos it is missing a big piece of it.- Yeah.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02The cover for the top, you know, for shading it.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- It depends how much you expect for it.- I was looking at
0:15:04 > 0:15:06round about ten for this.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08This girl has got gumption.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10You know, a cover, for looking through, for the sun.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12If you can go to an auction and buy it for ten pound,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I'll take it from you.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- The man has got a point.- Right. Well, what do you think, Paul?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Cos I thought... Can we get you down to 25?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Give us a wee chance?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24My hair is grey, you've got me turning pale.
0:15:24 > 0:15:2725? Thank you.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Five pound for the carrier bag.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31We don't need one, Paul is going to take it.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36- Well done there.- Excellent. That's our three pieces.- Smashing.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- Happy.- I spy...top drawer.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43So, the Blues can drop anchor and relax.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48Unlike the Reds who have two to go and only six minutes left.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50We've got to dig deep, we've got to just...
0:15:50 > 0:15:51I know, we've got to get something quick.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Spy out the bargains, don't we?
0:15:54 > 0:15:59Here's a nice stand. Look at this. Now we're talking. I'm feeling...
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Your little mantel clock, madam? - It has some damage to the enamel.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- Is it an early one?- Well, 1920s. It's gorgeous.- How much?
0:16:06 > 0:16:12- 135, but I would... - And between friends?- 100.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- I love that.- That's nice. - It works perfectly.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17I love that. Look at that, guys.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20You know what? The problem is, this is champleve enamel,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23which is inset or dripped in. And its wonderful engine turning...
0:16:23 > 0:16:27has had some damage there, can you see? I love that.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Although, as Mr Wonnacott says, and I can hear his voice now...
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Oh, yes.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34"Stay away from damaged goods, Charles, it's your downfall."
0:16:34 > 0:16:37And we must, because it's damaged.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40I'm glad you have been listening, Charles.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Look at that. Austrian, silver and enamel, little cigarette case.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48The best price on your silver
0:16:48 > 0:16:50cigarette case would be how much, please?
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- Guys, we've got five minutes to go. - How much?- 75?
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- We've got five minutes, guys. - Would you do it for 50?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Since red is my favourite colour, I'll do it for 55.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Time is of the essence. How about...?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Your best price on the blue enamel mantel clock?
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Well, I've already said £100 and it was 135.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- Yeah, so no less than that.- 95.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Oh, look at me.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Look at me. Look at me. 95?
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- Look at me. Look at us. - I'll give you a really big hug.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28- 95 is good.- £95, OK. We've got 180 seconds.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32I think we ought to buy, my opinion, is the canary yellow, ground...
0:17:32 > 0:17:35May I come behind here, madam, have a look behind here?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Of course you can.- Thank you. Guys, I think... Thank you. Sorry.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- I think we ought to buy that, first of all. And that's good.- Yeah.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- What's your best price? - It was 50?- 55.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Would you take 50 for it?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Would you take 50?- 54.- OK.- OK.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Look at this, that's gorgeous. - That's nice. Is that English?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- We'll have it.- Yes, it is. - How much is that?- 200.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59That's a gorgeous box, guys. Best on that?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- I would do it at 175. - Guys, I really rate this box.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07This is a George V silver and agate hard stone rectangular silver box.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09And I would guide that at auction between 150 and 200.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12So, at 175, it's got a good chance.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17- If that's 55, could we do...?- 200?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- 200 for the both?- No.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20- Look at me.- No!
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- No!- Look at me, look at me!
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- 215?- No, 220, I'll do.- 217.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- Yes. - Guys, these are great items.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I kid you not. These are quality.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- 217 then.- 217?- Deal.- Deal, deal.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38And with that frantic goalmouth scrabble,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41the boys finally have their hat trick.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Group hug? Yeah!
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- What are we going to do now? - A milkshake, I guess?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- Something stronger, man. - Yeah!- Milkshake? Milkshake?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52So, without further ado,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02The boys finally got their show on the road with a fob watch for £38.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Then, after lots of umming and ahhing,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06they did a deal on two items.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09The cigarette case worked out at £52.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12And the silver snuff box, which appeared from left field
0:19:12 > 0:19:17in the last seconds, cost them £165.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Somehow I think we achieved the great escape, the unbelievable.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22In fact, I think we'll win.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Are you trying to give us all a heart attack?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I mean, that was just ridiculous, that last-minute pace.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- How much did you spend all round? - 255.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Well, that's OK. £45 of leftover lolly.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34What are you going to do with that?
0:19:34 > 0:19:3645 isn't a great deal, Tim, but they keep saying,
0:19:36 > 0:19:37"Charles, something shiny."
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Good ole Charles, he follows instructions. Go and have
0:19:40 > 0:19:41a nice cup of tea, chaps.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47The Blues opened their shop
0:19:47 > 0:19:48with a letter knife,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51which cost them £13.50 and a kiss on the cheek.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55The same lucky store holder got another kiss
0:19:55 > 0:19:59and £135 for the military pocket watch and gent's wristwatch.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Omega, Jaeger, military timepieces -
0:20:04 > 0:20:06no-brainer, big bucks.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09And finally, they are hoping for a safe harbour at auction
0:20:09 > 0:20:13with a marine brass telescope for £25.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15The other team are going to have to do something to beat us
0:20:15 > 0:20:16with this one.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- It's not that bad, really, is it? Hiya.- Can I spy a profit?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- Well, we're kind of hoping. - Is that your favourite item?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Actually, it's between that and the two watches.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28We've got two watches, too.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- So, what did you spend all round? - We spent £268.50.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Please, may I have £131.50 of leftover lolly?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- There it is.- Thank you very much, that's lovely. Which goes
0:20:38 > 0:20:40straight over to the maestro.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41What are you going to spend it on, Paul?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45You know what? I have no idea. The Ides today are feeling good.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Oh, Lordy. Look out, store holders. Lookout, team.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Meanwhile, we are heading off somewhere delightful.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54We're going to go to Pollok House, that's spelled with a P.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Located just southwest of Glasgow, Pollok House is the ancestral home
0:21:07 > 0:21:10of the Maxwell family.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Handed down through the generations,
0:21:16 > 0:21:22the estate was inherited by Sir William Stirling Maxwell in 1865.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26He was an art connoisseur and great traveller.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31But when he got to Spain, he found his real inspiration.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35He fell in love both with the country and its art.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39And it's thanks to him that Pollok House today contains
0:21:39 > 0:21:44one of the greatest collections of Spanish art anywhere in Britain.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53A Palladian mansion dating from 1750, the house Sir William
0:21:53 > 0:21:58inherited certainly provides a fit setting for all his paintings.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03By the 19th century,
0:22:03 > 0:22:08Spanish art was either ignored or forgotten largely throughout Europe.
0:22:08 > 0:22:14But Sir William really bucked it up, owing to his writing and collecting.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18In effect, he reintroduced Spanish art to Britain.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21And what a collection he formed!
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Perhaps, the most iconic image in the portraits is this,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28of King Philip the second of Spain,
0:22:28 > 0:22:35which was painted by his favourite artist, Coello, around about 1565.
0:22:35 > 0:22:41Philip was the second Habsburg ruler of the Spanish Empire,
0:22:41 > 0:22:45and he ruled between 1556 and 1598.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49At that moment in time, Spain had the largest
0:22:49 > 0:22:53and most powerful empire in the world.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57But within 100 years of the date of the painting of this portrait,
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Philip's family, despite their great power,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03were in crisis.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Sir William was interested in portraits
0:23:10 > 0:23:13for their historical relevance.
0:23:13 > 0:23:19And if we scroll forward 100 years in the Habsburg rule in Spain,
0:23:19 > 0:23:23we come to this character, King Charles II,
0:23:23 > 0:23:28who reigned in Spain between 1665 and 1700.
0:23:28 > 0:23:35And the contrast between the robust warrior-like figure of Philip II
0:23:35 > 0:23:38and this little fellow is extreme.
0:23:38 > 0:23:44In fairness to him, he is only aged about 12 at this moment.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46But in the intervening century,
0:23:46 > 0:23:50there had been an incredible amount of intermarrying.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55They were determined to hang on to the purity of the Habsburgs
0:23:55 > 0:23:56and, as a result,
0:23:56 > 0:24:03he was produced from the union of three previous uncle to nieces -
0:24:03 > 0:24:07which is far too close an arrangement.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12You can see it in his chin, the pronounced overbite.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17The Habsburg chin is, in him, personified.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20He couldn't chew properly, he couldn't speak properly,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22he dribbled a lot.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26His mental faculties were not brilliant.
0:24:26 > 0:24:33He couldn't breed. He married twice and produced no offspring.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35There is a crisis at the end of his reign.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38And when he died, it set in train a horrible series of wars
0:24:38 > 0:24:43known as the Wars Of The Spanish Succession.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47I am glad to say, though, that the collection does have some contrasts.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50You could say, from the beast to the beauty.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58She is absolutely gorgeous, isn't she?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02She is referred to as the Lady In The Fur Wrap.
0:25:02 > 0:25:09And she was painted around about 1577 by the Spanish artist El Greco.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14And like so many of these great portraits of women,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16they are enigmatic on two fronts.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18When you look at her face,
0:25:18 > 0:25:22what is she thinking? What has she just said?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25And the second question is, who was she?
0:25:25 > 0:25:31Some would say that she resembles the Philip II's daughter,
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Catalina.
0:25:32 > 0:25:38Some would say that she actually was El Greco's mistress.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43We will never know, perhaps, but if you look at her very closely,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46she seems to me to be asking a question.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49And that question is,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51are the teams likely to make a profit today
0:25:51 > 0:25:53over at the auction?
0:25:57 > 0:25:5890.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00100. 110.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05Nope. 130. All done at 130? 130...
0:26:06 > 0:26:08We're staying in Scotland today,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10we've just shifted to Glasgow, that's all.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13To Great Western Auctions to be with the lovely Anita Manning.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Good morning, Anita. - Good morning, Tim.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17You've got some activity already in your sale room,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19which I'm not surprised to see.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- It's always encouraging, isn't it?- It is indeed.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26First up, for the Reds, we've got this brass-cased, open-faced watch.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Is this any good?- Late 19th century.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32It is brass-cased and not silver-cased.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35I would have preferred to have seen a silver case.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- But it's in working order. It's a nice, clean watch.- Yes.
0:26:38 > 0:26:4025 to 40?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44OK, well, we're just in estimate. They paid £38.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45They may be lucky there.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Are they going to be lucky with their yellow Viennese case?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Yellow is a good colour, isn't it?
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Well, the most attractive thing about this is the colour.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58It's very vibrant, I absolutely love it.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Not for fags any more, probably,
0:27:00 > 0:27:04but more for, perhaps, a little photograph of a loved one.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08It's me being romantic again. You're normally the romantic one.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Be romantic with me with the price, how much?- 60 to 80?
0:27:11 > 0:27:15That's romantic enough. Quite flirtatious, actually.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17£52 paid.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- So, that's good. - Hopefully, they'll make a profit.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22And they got box-centric here
0:27:22 > 0:27:25because we've got this other fellow to follow with.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27And the best feature of this, of course,
0:27:27 > 0:27:31is the fact that it's got this panel of polished onyx
0:27:31 > 0:27:32in the top and bottom.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34That's a really nice feature, isn't it?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37It's a lovely little box. It's absolutely lovely.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40It's well made, it's a quality item.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- What do you think it's going to bring?- 100 to 200.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46I've made the estimate really quite wide
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- to invite the bidders.- OK, fine.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49Well, they paid 165,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51so they are about in the middle.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53That's fair enough, which is exciting.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56That will determine whether they go with the bonus buy or not,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Now then, Lori. You naughty boys,
0:28:02 > 0:28:06you spent £255, which is a magnificent total,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- giving Charles Hanson only £45 to spend.- Yes.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- What did you spend it on? - I'll give you a clue.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14It might be a furry thing, OK?
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- An animal!- It's not alive, but you're almost there.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18- Because it's an owl.- Oh.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22- Look at that. Look at those eyes. - That's so cool!
0:28:22 > 0:28:23OK? Look at those eyes.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27He's bronzed, he's gilded, he's got some wear and tear,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30but there are a huge pool of owl collectors.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32You know, he's quite unusual with these big,
0:28:32 > 0:28:34bulbous bulb eyes.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37It's a bedside light. He must be, I suppose,
0:28:37 > 0:28:3970 or 80 years old.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Quite novel, isn't it? - Exactly, you hit it on the head.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45It's novel, and that is the all-important factor.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48How many people have a novel owl lying by their bedside?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51I prefer not to, I would think.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54You could start off a new fetish here.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- What is he worth to you as young collectors?- 30 quid?
0:28:58 > 0:29:02- 35?- He cost us £25.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06I feel, with the novelty value, he might make £40, £50.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10- No guarantee, though. - No, no, naturally.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13So, we got a prediction there, chaps, right? Maybe £40, £50.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14£25 spent.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Just think about that. You don't pick it now.
0:29:17 > 0:29:18But for the audience at home, let's find out
0:29:18 > 0:29:22what the auctioneer thinks about Charles's twit twoo.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24THEY LAUGH
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Well, Anita, there's something to entertain you. Isn't he sweet?!
0:29:28 > 0:29:30He's absolutely lovely.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33A little child's bedside lamp.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35And look at these wonderful eyes,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38they're little bulbs, which would glow out in the dark.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40It will bring a smile to the buyers.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42- How much do you think?- 20 to 40.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Again, I've made the estimate wide.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Very difficult to estimate.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- Anyway, our young Charles, he invested £25.- Yes.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51- So, I think he's done the right thing.- It deserves that.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Yeah, perfect. Good.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55That's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59Their first item is the Japanese letter opener,
0:29:59 > 0:30:01which I have to say is one of the worst examples
0:30:01 > 0:30:03I think I've ever seen.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05It doesn't have any quality.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10The blade is thin and bent and there is no decoration on that.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12So, how much?
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- 15 to 25?- OK, great.
0:30:14 > 0:30:19£13.50 paid. That should be a sure-fire profit. Just a wee one.
0:30:19 > 0:30:24Next, Mr Laidlaw's speciality - things connected with the military.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25We've got the two watches.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Well, he has bought two quality names here.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31We've got Jaeger-LeCoultre and Omega.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33They will appeal to the watch buyers,
0:30:33 > 0:30:36but they will also appeal to the military buyers,
0:30:36 > 0:30:39because the Jaeger-LeCoultre is a military watch.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- He paid 130, what's your estimate? - 100 to 200.- Well, there we go.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46He's in the early part of that, and knowing his luck
0:30:46 > 0:30:49and your skills, we'll be OK.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Now, the last item I really rate, I have to say.
0:30:51 > 0:30:56I think that's a beautiful telescope. How do you rate it?
0:30:56 > 0:30:58I love it. I think it's a wonderful thing.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03A good London maker, but it has the added advantage of being
0:31:03 > 0:31:07retailed by a Greenock retailer.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09So, I think it will appeal to the Scottish buyers.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12What sort of profit to you spy?
0:31:12 > 0:31:16- 40 to 60 is the estimate on it. - Is it? £25 paid.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- I think that was a good buy. - I mean, unbelievable buy!
0:31:19 > 0:31:21If I'm wrong, they're going to need the bonus buy,
0:31:21 > 0:31:24so let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Very good, girls. Now, you spent £168.50.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31We had 131.50 to give to Paul Laidlaw.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35With all that money, Paul, what did you decide to go and buy?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38I don't know whether you've ever seen one of these before.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41THEY LAUGH
0:31:41 > 0:31:43We have.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- I had to go back and buy it. - I love it.- Smashing.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- You did, didn't you?- Yeah. We absolutely loved it.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52It works for me all day long.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56And I'm pretty sure you're going to do well with that.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59I couldn't get the price down more, we know it was ticketed at 12.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- I think that will do well anyway. - Smart money, know what that is,
0:32:01 > 0:32:03you're going to do well.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Yay!- Can we just buy it?
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Good. Well, there we are.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10It gives you the choice
0:32:10 > 0:32:12to decide whether you go with Paul's bullet or not.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Anyway, right now, for the audience at home, let's find out
0:32:15 > 0:32:18what the auctioneer thinks about it. The bullet, I mean.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24It's slightly insensitive, don't you think, to be sending to troops
0:32:24 > 0:32:28who are in the trenches in their little Christmas box a bullet.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30- I know.- I mean...
0:32:30 > 0:32:34Maybe she hoped that these were the only bullets they would receive.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35Well, that's true, isn't it?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38But I would estimate that at £20 to £30.
0:32:38 > 0:32:44Very good. Well, Mr Laidlaw, who is as canny as you are, only paid £12,
0:32:44 > 0:32:48so we should get a profit there if the teams decide to go with it.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52And that's a big question. Anyway, very good luck. Thank you.
0:32:53 > 0:32:5545. 50. 50 for the first time.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00Anyone over 50 pounds? 50 pounds...
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- Now, Allen and Lori, how are you feeling?- Nervous.- Are you?- Yeah.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- I'm shaking.- Anticipation.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09I don't know how many adjectives I can come up with.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Well, you being a university educated man, probably plenty.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17Edinburg University taught you how to describe things, right?
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Well, they're trying.- Yes. Of course, you are still in it, yeah.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24So, first up is your open-faced chronograph, and here it comes, chaps.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- Here we go, guys, good luck. - Come on.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57That, my dear girls, is
0:40:57 > 0:41:00plus £154.50.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- Yes.- £154.50.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Thanks to our hero, Paul Laidlaw.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08£154.50 is a very, very good score.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09So, I commend you.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13- Thank you.- Don't talk to the Reds until we do our review.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- Lips are sealed?- Totally. - Thank you very much. Excellent.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Well, what excitement we've had today.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28You been chatting between the teams at all?
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- ALL: No. - No communication?
0:41:30 > 0:41:32I think it's fair to say,
0:41:32 > 0:41:36there is a buzz of excitement between these two teams.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38I guess both teams are feeling pretty cocky
0:41:38 > 0:41:40because they both got profits.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44- Oh!- And I don't think I'd be giving anything away
0:41:44 > 0:41:49if I handed out a small black pad
0:41:49 > 0:41:51on my right to these guys,
0:41:51 > 0:41:54who have each made a profit
0:41:54 > 0:41:57and therefore are entitled to the golden gavel.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Nor would I be giving anything away
0:42:01 > 0:42:06to take a black pad out and reveal
0:42:06 > 0:42:11to the girls that they, too, are entitled to a golden gavel,
0:42:11 > 0:42:17because they, too, have made a stellar profit on all three items.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21It's simply a question today
0:42:21 > 0:42:24of the scale of the winnings.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26I don't want to tease this to death,
0:42:26 > 0:42:30but it is my duty to reveal today
0:42:30 > 0:42:34that the team that are the runners-up are...the Reds.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36- Oh!- Yes!
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- Oh, no!- I'm sorry, lads.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44You have made a profit of every single item.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48A grand total of plus £85, I'm going to give you now.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50- We're delighted. - £85, there you go.
0:42:50 > 0:42:55But, sadly, it was not sufficient to stunt the flow of profits going
0:42:55 > 0:42:57for these Blue girls,
0:42:57 > 0:43:00- who made twice as much.- No way!
0:43:02 > 0:43:07They're going home with profits of £154...
0:43:08 > 0:43:10..and 50p!
0:43:10 > 0:43:12There's all your change, all right?
0:43:12 > 0:43:16Very, very well done, girls. That is just phenomenal, isn't it?
0:43:16 > 0:43:18In fact, we've had so much fun,
0:43:18 > 0:43:20join us soon for some more bargain-hunting, yes?
0:43:20 > 0:43:21ALL: Yes!
