0:00:04 > 0:00:08Today, we're in a part of mid-Wales that I truly love.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12We've got two teams and hundreds of stalls
0:00:12 > 0:00:16stuffed with collectables, so what are we waiting for?
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:43 > 0:00:47On a normal day, you might come to the Royal Welsh Showground
0:00:47 > 0:00:52to have a date with a sheep, maybe buy a combine harvester, or sell your favourite livestock,
0:00:52 > 0:00:58but today we're here to do something completely different in the way of buying and selling.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01So let's have a quick peek at what's coming up.
0:01:04 > 0:01:10Today, the Reds aim for an "A" in antiques, but may need help with their arithmetic.
0:01:10 > 0:01:1345?! But it was 145!
0:01:13 > 0:01:17You are going to have to do a maths lesson tonight.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19You know maths was never my strong point.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Whilst the Blues have a more liberal approach to learning.
0:01:26 > 0:01:32We'll find out if they get top marks later on, but first let's meet 'em! Ugh!
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Well, it's a case of two sets of friends on the show today.
0:01:36 > 0:01:42We've got Sylvia and Sue, who are retired teachers and who are...
0:01:42 > 0:01:46What are you laughing at? What are you giggling at?
0:01:46 > 0:01:51..Who are retired teachers. Meanwhile, for the Blues, we're got Netty and Debbie,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54who've both been in the food and booze business,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57and may have been on the booze already today.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Welcome, everyone! - ALL: Hello!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03This is going very well. Sylvia...
0:02:03 > 0:02:09- Hello.- How was it for you when you first found Sue as a friend?
0:02:09 > 0:02:15Well, we first met in 1995, when we arrived at a lovely school in Bridgend,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- as newly appointed teachers.- A-ha!
0:02:17 > 0:02:22And we were placed in an open-plan classroom,
0:02:22 > 0:02:26and we bonded straight away and we became lifelong friends.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28And I think we could be described
0:02:28 > 0:02:32as, possibly, an older...
0:02:32 > 0:02:35feminine version of Ant and Dec,
0:02:35 > 0:02:40because we share a brain and are joined at the hip!
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Isn't that sweet? How lovely!
0:02:44 > 0:02:47So you clearly bonded up very nicely, which is great.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- So what do you two girls collect? - Quite a lot really.
0:02:50 > 0:02:56I like glass. I like silver. I like porcelain and clocks.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Gosh, that's a good old spread. And that's for starters. What about you, Sue?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Well, I developed an interest in a lot of mining memorabilia
0:03:04 > 0:03:09because I've been clearing out my father's house after he, sadly, passed away.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14And found a lot of miners' lamps and items to do with coal mining.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- So I've kept on to those. And clocks and postcards.- Gosh!
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- With an eclectic range of interests like that, the Blues will be quaking in their boots.- Just a bit.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28I know! What these girls don't know about is nobody's business.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33- So, Netty, how did you two meet? - I worked in a pub and, er...
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Came out the pub and went into Debbie's shop, got talking and stayed with her ever since.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42- What was going on in your shop then, Debs?- I used to own a laundrette,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- to keep my increasing number of animals that I've got.- Oh, I see!
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- To take them to the cleaners? - Yes, I have to sometimes!
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- Anyway, you hit it off? - Yes, straight away, yes.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- So are you in the pub trade now? - No, no.- Given that up?- Yes.
0:03:58 > 0:04:04- What do you get up to now? - I look after horses with Debbie. Rescue horses.- Ah, right.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06And sheep and dogs.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10And how many of each have you got on your place at the moment?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- We have ten horses.- Ten horses. - Three sheep and five dogs.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18- Does that take all your time then, Netts?- Yeah. We love doing it.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21What floats your boat when it comes to antiques and collectables, Debs?
0:04:21 > 0:04:26- It all depends whether it's tat, that my husband calls everything that I buy...- Oh, yes.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30But I like trench art. Odd things that people don't like.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Well, you're going to have a nice time today.- I am!- Yes!
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- We're going to enjoy giving you £300 apiece. There's your £300.- Thank you.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go!
0:04:42 > 0:04:46And very, very, very good luck! Do you think they'll buy tat?
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Yes!
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Forced to help out these devilish Blues today is David Barby.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59Whilst Chris Gower hopes to magnify some profits for the Reds.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03So, Sylvia and Sue, you're both retired teachers.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06So what sort of lesson are we going to give that Blue team today?
0:05:06 > 0:05:10I think we should put them in the dunces' corner and keep them there.
0:05:10 > 0:05:16- Any advances?- I think we should give them 100 lines and detention.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- This is getting worse. Come on! - LAUGHTER
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Gosh, Blues, I'd steer clear of the Reds if I were you.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25But I'm sure you have a master plan.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30- So what are we looking at today? Anything related to your profession? - No.- Publican?- No.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- Pub memorabilia?- No.- No? - We're not quite sure really.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- We're going to leave it to your wonderful expertise.- Oh, dear!
0:05:37 > 0:05:43- A little bird told me you like trench art.- I do like trench art. - Well, let's go and have a look.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Let's have a look.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Left in the hands of the Barby, who knows what will happen.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Especially, as the Reds have already been swotting up on their knowledge of antiques.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Furniture, you said. - Nice little chair, perhaps.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Nice little chair, side table perhaps.- Yes.
0:05:59 > 0:06:05- Yes. Nice! Talking of nice.- That's a nice little chair there, isn't it?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Corner chair.- We like that. - Hardwood. Chinese. How much is it?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- 150.- 150.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- That's not a bad price for a nice chair like this.- Yeah.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- But we're working to a bit of a budget.- We are.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Perhaps we'll think about it and... - All right.- ..Come back again. - Lovely.- It's not a definite "yes".
0:06:23 > 0:06:26These girls need to widen their search a bit.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Meanwhile, the Blues could be playing a mug's game.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- That's pretty.- Does it remind you of a pub tankard?- Yes!
0:06:32 > 0:06:33LAUGHTER
0:06:33 > 0:06:38- It was a very good year, 1975.- Why? I can't tell you. It's a secret.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Look, it's Royal Copenhagen, which is very good.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44And... Oh, that's quite interesting.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47The actual insert is silver.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51I don't know the significance of "Bir Beagle" or "Beagle".
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- I'm not certain what that is. £48, that's quite a lot.- I like that.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Right. I think that's nice.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02- Get a lot of whisky in there! - I don't know. It's a good, chunky piece.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- Excuse me. How much is this? - Your very best, my dear.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Well, £48. Erm...
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Ooh, this is exciting, isn't it?- 45.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14These dated things do not sell easily.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- It's just I like the design. - Are you referring to me, as a dated thing? >
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Was that your birthday, 1975? - I wish.- Same here!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24LAUGHTER
0:07:24 > 0:07:27All right, look, 40 quid, but that's it. >
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Yes, we like that. - We're going for that, yeah?- Yeah.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- That's a very quick decision. - We've agreed on something. - Within one minute!
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Yes. Thanks very much. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43A decisive £40 - that's the way we like it!
0:07:43 > 0:07:46But those Reds seem to have Chris cornered again.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Why has she got a thing about corner chairs?- Well, we both have!
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- It's just something.- It's corner chair day, is it?- It is!
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- It is! Price is too much. - How much is it?- 165.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- The question is, will it make money at auction?- Not at that price.- No.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08- Edwardian furniture isn't top of the pops at the moment.- Fair enough.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11But if we're going to spend all day looking at corner chairs...
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- No, that's my last corner chair! - Is it? All right.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Wise words from Chris there.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21But are the Blues about to be fleeced?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Ooh, look at the sheep! - Don't say it like that!
0:08:24 > 0:08:26DEBS LAUGHS
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Oh, yeah. "Besick".- Beswick.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Oh, Beswick! Beswick. - So you've got that...
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- What's the best you can do on the little sheep?- Er, ewe?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- She's a nice ewe, isn't she?- She's not a named one, that's the trouble.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Hang on, I'll name her. Daphne. - Daphne!
0:08:43 > 0:08:45LAUGHTER
0:08:45 > 0:08:48What's the best I can do? I've got 38 on it.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51For you Bargain Hunt people...? Oh...?
0:08:51 > 0:08:5525, there you are. 25.
0:08:55 > 0:08:5725.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Can you see a profit in that at 25? - No.- I don't...- I can't, either.- No.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I think you might struggle to make a profit at an auction.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08- Yes. OK. Thanks very much. - Thank you for being so honest.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Oh, well! Daphne the sheep has been ditched,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13but her fate could have been worse with the Reds.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18- Oh!- Ooh!- These are skewers. They are, in fact, meat skewers.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22But, these days, they're fantastic letter openers.
0:09:22 > 0:09:28- Oh!- And what we get an awful lot are wives looking for something fantastic for their husbands.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- So these are quite saleable. - Oh, that's lovely.- We like that.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Wait a minute! What's that crown? Look at that!- That's nice.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40- That's nice.- And they're a pair. - Good.- Oh, lovely!
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- Silver plate, not silver.- Yes. - Does that worry you?- No.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Not really. It depends on the price, obviously.- OK.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51If it's very expensive, it would worry us, not otherwise.
0:09:51 > 0:09:57- They're 25 each.- Right. - I could do them for 18 apiece.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59£18 apiece.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Could we have them for £30 for the pair? It's our first buy.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- And our first auction as well. - And you are very special.- Yes.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13- We've chosen you for our very first purchase.- We'll give you a gold star.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- Yes!- I've had this for ages! You've only got it for a minute.
0:10:17 > 0:10:2035 would be my absolute best.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- Now I like them.- We like them. 35?- Yep. Done.- It's a sale.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30That's one down, but will the reds get top marks?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Well, girls, we're 20 minutes into the buying.- Ooh!
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- We're about a third of the way through...- Oh, no!
0:10:36 > 0:10:40And that first buy of ours, I'd give you both a B-plus.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Oh, not too bad! - And you must try harder.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- We will, I promise!- We will! - All right? Right.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Teacher's pet!
0:10:48 > 0:10:53As for you two, Debbie and Netty - just stop larking around!
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Right, ready? Phil Collins has got nothing on me.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Come on now! The clocks ticking. Time to get organised.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- How about that?- Oh, it's lovely.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- Yes.- Practical.- Yes.- Old.- Yes. - Stylish.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Very stylish.- And probably, before we look, expensive.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Oh! Here we go! - No, it's not, Chris.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24- Let's have a look.- It's how much? - 45.- Oh, never! That's not bad.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- That's very good.- That's excellent. - That is...
0:11:28 > 0:11:34- That is excellent.- And it's well-made. It's in good condition.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Oh, it's 145!- 145! 45?!
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Oh!
0:11:39 > 0:11:40LAUGHTER
0:11:40 > 0:11:43You know how to raise hopes, don't you?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Oh! I'm sold on that.- Well, even...
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Even at 145...- Do you think?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54If anything is sought after, it's this sort of thing.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Practical pieces of furniture, in good nick...
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Do you like it? - Yes. I definitely like it.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Yes.- Are you keen?
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- WAVERING:- Yes. - Once more with feeling, Sue.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09One with passion and one with, "I'm not sure."
0:12:09 > 0:12:15- I was passionate about the other. - Of course!- Is it worth finding out the best price?- Best price, yes.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- OK, right.- Thank you.
0:12:17 > 0:12:1945, when it was 145!
0:12:19 > 0:12:23You're going to have to do a maths lesson tonight, you know that, girl.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25You know maths was never my strong point.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30# We don't need no education... #
0:12:30 > 0:12:35Yes, well, at least the Reds haven't been skiving. like those Blues!
0:12:35 > 0:12:37They've ditched Barby for a sing song.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40SHE YODELS
0:12:40 > 0:12:41LAUGHTER
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Rosemary.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45# Rosemary, I love you! #
0:12:45 > 0:12:48# Hey, teacher! Leave them kids alone! #
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Oi! Barby, get your Blues under control!
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Now, what's the crack on the magazine rack?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- It's a 110. - What do you think, Chris?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- Even if it gets 150 at auction, it's still a good buy.- Yes.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08- I've got a good feeling about that. Do you want to spend that? - Oh, I think so. Let's do it.- Happy?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- I really do like it.- 110. - I think it's a good price. - I think so, too.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- And it's a quality item. - It is, absolutely. Deal done.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- Right.- Great.- Second lesson over. LAUGHTER
0:13:19 > 0:13:22And straight into lesson number three
0:13:22 > 0:13:25on the antiques trade taking a punt.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Let me show you something colourful that caught my eye today.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33What do you make of this lot? They've very bright and breezy, aren't they?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Just look at the colours. What are they?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Well, these are actually original bits of artwork
0:13:40 > 0:13:46that relate to the outer dust covers that were wrapped around books.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50They're book covers, essentially. If we look on the back of this one,
0:13:50 > 0:13:55you can see that it was done by a Miss Lorna Laurence
0:13:55 > 0:13:58of 44, Markham Square, Chelsea.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Does anybody know anything about Lorna Laurence?
0:14:02 > 0:14:08Is she a successful artist? Is she recorded in any sense in the business?
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Well, right now, without researching it, I couldn't tell you.
0:14:12 > 0:14:19But what I can tell you is that she would have been a talented member of her profession
0:14:19 > 0:14:23at the time in the 1920s and 1930s.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27It's the designs that really grab you.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31If you rub your thumb over the artwork, you can feel
0:14:31 > 0:14:36the thick, glutinous nature of that poster paint,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39almost exactly as our Lorna
0:14:39 > 0:14:42was applying it to the card.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47The artwork for this book cover I think is particularly arresting.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51The crushed loganberry hue that's repeated throughout,
0:14:51 > 0:14:57the deep navy blue and the turquoise that's so brilliant and vibrant.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00What are these bits of artwork worth?
0:15:00 > 0:15:06Well, if you're a bargain hunter and you're out in the field in a fair like this,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09you've got no time to research anything.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13You just have to make your mind up, smartish.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17If the whole plastic bag with eight images is priced up at £80,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21are they worth, you have to ask yourself, £10 each?
0:15:21 > 0:15:26If, very quickly, you arrive at the conclusion that £10 each
0:15:26 > 0:15:29for original artwork like this
0:15:29 > 0:15:34is actually as cheap as a slice of inexpensive fried potato,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37then you are definitely going to take your £80 out.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Because if can find out more about the artist,
0:15:40 > 0:15:44that enhances the value. If any of these books are at all rare,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47then you're really talking about some folding cash.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50But if all else fails,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54we have here something that is going to amuse.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57So with that lesson done and dusted,
0:15:57 > 0:16:00has the Barby got his team back on track?
0:16:02 > 0:16:07It's Birmingham. It's probably round about 1907, that sort of period.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11If you look at it closely, you've got Art Nouveau designs around it.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13You can imagine this on somebody's dressing table.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- Downtown Abbey. - Oh, yes! Definitely!
0:16:16 > 0:16:20That's the sort of period. Excuse me. What's the very best you can do on that?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- 125.- 125.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- What do you think? 125.- I think it's very pretty.- Yeah, I do.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Is that the very best you can do? Please.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32I'll take another fiver off. 120. And that's it.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34It's £120.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39- I think it's unusual. - Yeah, it is unusual. I've never seen one like it before.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- How much is it? 120?- Yeah, OK.- Yeah.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Thank you.- He smiles... It worries me when he smiles!
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Thank you very much. Well, I can now.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49LAUGHTER
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Barby continues to lead the Blues astray.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Oh, sorry! I mean, lead the way!
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Meanwhile, Chris hopes the Reds will break the mould.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03These jelly moulds. They're in great condition. The only drawback is,
0:17:03 > 0:17:08copper needs cleaning, silver needs cleaning, brass... All these metals need cleaning.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12People don't like doing it, but if you find an old Victorian jelly mould...
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Look how it shines. - It's beautiful!- It's stunning!
0:17:16 > 0:17:21- How much is the very big one at the back?- It's like a bell shape. This is glorious.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- How much is that? - How much? 145. It's not 45!
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- Are you sure?! You have a thing about missing off the ones!- I know!
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Wishful thinking! - So if the dealer comes down a bit...
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- let's make our decision on how much it is.- OK. Thank you.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42- We've really fallen for this.- Right. - Is there a better price?- 130 to you.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47- OK.- We've got a few minutes left. We can see what else there is.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- If we see nothing else, I think... - We'll come back for it.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55- Thank you very much. Shall we go on? - Yes.- Great.- Time's ticking on!
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Yes, time IS ticking. Only 15 minutes left.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02And both teams still searching for one more item.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Debbie, I think you'll like this one.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10It's interesting from the point of view you that you wanted trench art.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15I think this is interesting because you've got cap badges. They're not English.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17I would think they're Central European.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20With this sort of crown here,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24gives me the impression that it could be sort of Hungarian.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28It could be Russian. That sort of area,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30particularly with these draped flags.
0:18:30 > 0:18:36- Also I think what is interesting - these sections here. That might have had a plume.- Yes. Yeah.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- That would have been on top of the hat, wouldn't it?- Yes.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- Be interesting to see how old they are.- I think they're First World War.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44Yeah.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- And what's the best price on that?- 40.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Can you go any lower? - Not really.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- I think that's nice. - It's unusual, isn't it?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- £40. Are we going for that? - Yes, I like that.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59All right, sir. Thank you very much.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- I think we deserve a cup of tea on that. Come on.- Yes, so do I.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07Well, that's the Blues done, with quite an eclectic mix and ten minutes to spare.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13But the Reds have gone back to the naughty corner.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14- NO!- Oh!
0:19:14 > 0:19:20- No, that's Edwardian again, Sue! - How many corners can a room have? No! No!
0:19:20 > 0:19:22It's still a corner.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Is this a fetish?- Yes!
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Now come on, you Reds! It's the final few minutes and decision time.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31What are you going to do?
0:19:31 > 0:19:36- We're gravitating back to the jelly moulds!- Have you noticed? Yes!
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- That's right.- Right. We liked this one, didn't we?- Yes, we do.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- We haven't got a lot of time left to think about this.- I know.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47The dealer said it was £130. Shall we see if we can get it a bit less?
0:19:47 > 0:19:52- And that will give you more money. - Here we are. We love this.- Yes.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- You quoted 130.- Yes.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Can you do a squeeze, a bit, a gesture?
0:19:59 > 0:20:04I don't think I can, but I shall have to ask the boss.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- 125?- 128.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- 125?- 128.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- 128, girls?- Done!- Done!- Done!
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- In unison.- Lovely. - Thank you so much.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Thank you very much. Phew!
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Phew!
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- Phew!- Right...- That was a close shave.- Group hug!
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Yeah!- Yeah!
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Time's up! Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31First, they took a stab in the dark,
0:20:31 > 0:20:35with these silver-plated meat skewers, paying £35.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Then they tied away an Edwardian magazine rack.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42A whopping £110 paid.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45And, in the final minutes, they avoided throwing a wobbly
0:20:45 > 0:20:48with this Victorian, copper jelly mould.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53But will £128 be too much for our perfect prefects?
0:20:55 > 0:21:00- Now, what was the overall spend then, girls?- 273.- 273.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Does that mean I want £27 of leftover lolly? I think I do.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09- £27 of leftover lolly goes straight over to the man. - Thank you very much.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Have you any idea what you are going to spend it on?
0:21:12 > 0:21:17Well, I did think of something with a school mistress idea.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- What, some sort of cane or something?- Or a ruler perhaps.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26- Leather trousers.- Leather...- Ooh! - Anything that you fancy. The list is endless!
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- LAUGHTER - Very, very good luck with that.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Anyway, meanwhile, we're going to check out what the Blue team bought.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38The Blues were quick off the mark with this 1975 Royal Copenhagen mug.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41£40 paid.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Like magpies, they were then draw to this early 20th-century,
0:21:45 > 0:21:50silver jewel casket, but it wasn't cheap at £120.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53And, finally, Debs got her trench art
0:21:53 > 0:21:56in the form of this one-of-a-kind candlestick holder
0:21:56 > 0:21:59made from two brass cap badges. The cost, £40!
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- Had a good time?- Brilliant time. - Yeah. He's a great man, isn't he?
0:22:05 > 0:22:10- He's a lovely man. - And he knows his onions, too. Now, talking about onions,
0:22:10 > 0:22:15- how much did you spend all round? - £200.- I'd like £100 of leftover lolly, please.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Thank you. £100, all hot and steaming.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Thank you very much. Right.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26- So, David, what's it to be today? - I want to go for something a little bit exciting.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Similar to the objects you've bought.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30LAUGHTER
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Fancy that rolled eye! Good luck, girls. Have a lovely cup of tea.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Meanwhile, we're going to roll off somewhere splendid.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46Staffordshire's pottery heritage lies at the heart of the English ceramics industry
0:22:46 > 0:22:49and there's a huge sense of pride here in the city of Stoke-on-Trent
0:22:49 > 0:22:54at the skill and craftsmanship that evolved here.
0:22:55 > 0:23:01And Staffordshire's potteries have every right to hold themselves in such high regard,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05because they've been making pottery here on an industrial scale
0:23:05 > 0:23:08since the 17th century.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Big names like Wedgwood, Doulton and Minton's
0:23:12 > 0:23:17were all founded and established here in Stoke-on-Trent.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27I've come to the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery
0:23:27 > 0:23:32to have a look at one particular ceramic type of object
0:23:32 > 0:23:34and it's called slipware.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39You see it behind me in these cabinets in serried ranks.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42But there it's all behind glass.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47Elsewhere in the museum, you can find it just hidden away.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Slipware is pottery that has been decorated with slip,
0:23:51 > 0:23:56and slip is clay mixed with water to produce a liquid, which is then sieved.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01There are many different techniques used on slipware,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04such as trailing, marbling and jewelling.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Well, here we are then in the holy of holies.
0:24:08 > 0:24:14I tell you, some ceramic collectors would die to get down to the basement store,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16here at the Potteries Museum.
0:24:16 > 0:24:22The reference collection for the trailed slip is in a series of cabinets there,
0:24:22 > 0:24:27but what we've done is to fish out some truly spectacular pieces here.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33This thing's fun. From the 1730s, it's called a fuddling cup.
0:24:33 > 0:24:39We've got six little cups all joined together with some outside handles.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44The idea being that you challenge your friend to drink one of these little cups.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49He doesn't know that actually each of these cups are pierced,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53so that any fluid in them would flow from one to the other.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57So he starts drinking this little one, like that,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00and he can't understand why it doesn't empty.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03The reason it doesn't empty is, all the other cups are draining into it.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08When he does finish his one little cup, he's actually drunk all six
0:25:08 > 0:25:12and is therefore befuddled, hence "fuddling cup".
0:25:12 > 0:25:16This octagonal dish is press-moulded.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19It dates from about the middle of the 17th century
0:25:19 > 0:25:23and represents an attempt at mechanisation.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Because you have a wooden mould into which you press the clay
0:25:26 > 0:25:30and the pattern is therefore repeatable again and again.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34In this instance, poppy heads and fleur-de-lis.
0:25:34 > 0:25:41You then put the slip on with a little bit of detail in brown oxide and the job's done.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Next, we have the very grandest of grand pieces of slipware.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49This is a piece by the celebrated, 17th-century Staffordshire potter
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Thomas Toft.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55This dates from the 1660s or 1670s
0:25:55 > 0:25:58and demonstrates the very best of complicated trailed slip.
0:25:58 > 0:26:04This outer border has a series of brown lines, a bit like icing sugar,
0:26:04 > 0:26:06narrowly laid all the way round,
0:26:06 > 0:26:10then cross-hatched to create the complicated outside border.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15Then he's painted on, in a fleur-de-lis, the ground there
0:26:15 > 0:26:19and contained that by yet more narrow lines of trailed slip.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Each of those have been jewelled with these individual blobs.
0:26:23 > 0:26:29Now that is a complicated and brilliantly executed piece of decoration.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32And it has a lovely back story,
0:26:32 > 0:26:37because this dish is known to be in the Morson family at the beginning of the 18th century.
0:26:37 > 0:26:43Who knows? It could have been made by Thomas Toft for that family in 1670.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Anyway, it passes by inheritance
0:26:46 > 0:26:49all the way to two children
0:26:49 > 0:26:53who have no children, who find out, 30 years ago,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56just how valuable this thing is.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01What do they do these brothers? They wrap it up and put it under the bed for 30 years.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06And then and only then, do they donate it to the museum.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09How lovely is that?
0:27:09 > 0:27:13I wonder whether there will be a story with such a happy ending
0:27:13 > 0:27:16for our teams today over at the auction?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I suspect not!
0:27:25 > 0:27:30How lovely is this? We've popped to Malvern to Philip Serrell's saleroom.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- Phil, good morning to you. - Lovely to see you, Tim.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- We're looking for stellar results here today.- We'll try our best.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- Try Sylvia and Sue's group on for size.- Right.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- The skewers.- Unless you've got a lot of letters to open, they're not much use, really.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- And they are just silver-plate. The attractive thing are these terminals.- Absolutely.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- Which seem to represent perhaps a jubilee year.- Yeah.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57- Late Victorian, Edwardian jubilee. - Yeah, we put £30-£40 on them.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- £35 paid.- Yes.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03The revolving magazine rack. Seems to be in good condition,
0:28:03 > 0:28:07but is that going to go well in the auction, Tim?
0:28:07 > 0:28:12We've put £50-£80 on it. I don't know where you go with it, to be truthful with you.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Well, £110 paid. It's a lot of money, isn't it?
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- Yeah.- While we're talking about a lot of money,
0:28:17 > 0:28:21this copper jelly mould is going to take some getting around.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25That is a belter, OK? There is no denying, that is a belter.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Ten or 15 years ago, that would have been a really good thing.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32However, it's not 15 years ago and, in my eyes, that's £30-£50's worth.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- What did they pay?- £128.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36HE WHISTLES
0:28:36 > 0:28:41They're going to need their bonus buy. We'd better go and have a look at it right now.
0:28:41 > 0:28:47Now, Sylvia, Sue, you gave the man £27.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Chris, what did you buy for your bonus buy?
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Well, first of all, I didn't spend £27.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57- I spent a lot less on something very interesting.- Oh!
0:28:57 > 0:29:01I did promise something school inspired, but this is more
0:29:01 > 0:29:04architect, draughtsmanship inspired. What do you think?
0:29:04 > 0:29:10It's a 90-degree ruler. I'm sorry, not the most ladylike, feminine thing
0:29:10 > 0:29:15for you ladies, but with that sort of money, I thought this was quite interesting.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20- Of interest to scientific collectors perhaps.- Yes, yes!
0:29:20 > 0:29:25- For £15, do you like it? - I thought it was going to be a cane.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29- In your dreams!- Multiple uses. - It's interesting.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- Yeah.- And I'm pretty sure somebody would like to have that.- I think so.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- I'd have it. I think it's lovely. - But you can't!
0:29:36 > 0:29:37LAUGHTER
0:29:37 > 0:29:41We're going to sell it! For the audience at the home, let's find out,
0:29:41 > 0:29:44from the auctioneer, what he thinks about Chris's rule?
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- Phil.- Well, there you are. I mean, as a rule...
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Oh, please!
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- I think that's ten to 20 quid's worth.- Do you?
0:29:54 > 0:29:58- Yeah.- £15 paid by Chris Gower. - He's in with a shout.- He is.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02I mean, it's a perfectly useful angled rule. Well done, him.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06Yeah, good lad. Having got the angle on that, let's move on to the Blues.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11First up for them, the Royal Copenhagen, special edition mug.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14That is right up DJ Barby's street, isn't it?
0:30:14 > 0:30:19- It certainly is. - It's £30-£50's worth. - On a good day?- I would think so.
0:30:19 > 0:30:24£40 paid by the lovely David. Next up is the little jewellery casket,
0:30:24 > 0:30:27which is unusual. Padded interior and useful.
0:30:27 > 0:30:32Yeah, it is. I just think it's £60-£90's worth. What did he pay?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- 120.- Oh!- A bit of a sting, eh? - I think so.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40Next is the trench art, Girondelle, little wall fitting.
0:30:40 > 0:30:46I mean, quite fun to have all those elements relating to regiments, I suppose.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50I think trench art is the most sort of emotive thing,
0:30:50 > 0:30:54but this stuff makes no money and in my eyes that's £20-£40's worth.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56£40 paid.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00All three items missed their estimates. They're going to need their bonus buy.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02So let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06So, girls, £100 you gave to David Barby.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10David, you seem to have spent it, er, on something quite long, anyway.
0:31:10 > 0:31:15Well, it is, but it's not a sword. It might be considered a weapon by a lady.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- It is a beautiful...- Oh!
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- Oh, look at that.- Parasol.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23In this lovely emerald green silk.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28With an ivory stem there and this wonderful silver mount.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32And look at that mobile, movable handle.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37Isn't that lovely? Made in 1895 by Fox and Sons,
0:31:37 > 0:31:41who specialised in these rather nice, ornate grips for umbrellas...
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- Oh, lovely!- ..And parasols.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03as your potential bonus buy or not.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07But you will have, of course, have sold your first three items first,
0:32:07 > 0:32:10and know what position you're in at that moment in time.
0:32:10 > 0:32:16But now, for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's parasol.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21- Well, it never rains in Worcestershire, does it? - No, no, no! It pours.
0:32:21 > 0:32:27We've had some of that. These things are quite nice and a lot get converted into walking sticks.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- We put £60-£90 on it. What did you pay?- £80.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- So he's in with a shout, isn't he? - He is, or out with a shower.

0:32:50 > 0:32:53- It's a special moment, isn't it? - Of course, it is.

0:35:43 > 0:35:48- which means you're on minus 103, ducks.- Oh!- Oh, what a shame.

0:36:36 > 0:36:40Actually, I haven't. Oh, thank you. Ten. I'm bid at ten.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42At £10. This is a cheap thing.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47- At £10.- It certainly is!- Ten bid. £10. Right at the back of the room.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50At £10 and I sell. Then at £10 and done. Thank you.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52My name's Van Wonnacott!

0:37:17 > 0:37:21- How do you rate your chances today then, girls?- Oh, yeah!- Mm?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- I think we're going to win. - Do you?- Yes.
0:37:23 > 0:37:29- The saleroom is full. It's connected to the internet, so I remain optimistic for you.- Thank you.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34And, just in case the sun comes out, David's parasol may come in handy.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35Oh, Tim!
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- You may need it.- There's a decision they've already made on the parasol.
0:37:39 > 0:37:45- You've made your decision already? - Yeah.- Yes.- You can't do that till we get there.- I can.- Can you?
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- What's your decision then? - It's ivory. I can't do ivory.
0:37:49 > 0:37:54- Can't you do ivory? - No, I can't do ivory. - What, not even old ivory?- No.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59- It was still walking around at one time.- That Debbie, she's told us! That's torpedoed that one.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- The boss has spoken. - We'll see...- Hope it makes 300.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- Yeah, it would just serve me right!- Yes.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33And I sell then at £20 and done!
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- That is so disappointing. - So disappointing.- That's a shame!

0:38:37 > 0:38:43Lot number 351 is the little silver and horn mounted jewellery box.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Nice thing this. Bid me £100 to start.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49I've got £50 bid. At 50. 50 bid. Is there any more at all?

0:39:26 > 0:39:2820, someone? Quickly.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32- Oh, dear!- We might as well give up. I feel like giving up.- Yeah.

0:39:57 > 0:39:59What are we going to do about the parasol?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- Listen, girls, you're £65 down the drain. No?- No!
0:40:02 > 0:40:07- Definitely not.- I've had a good time and I want to go with my principles.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12- That's it. Principles.- Principles. - We're not going with the bonus buy.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16It's in the auction anyway. It's perfectly legal to buy and sell
0:40:16 > 0:40:22because it's before the appropriate date, so we're going to crack on and sell it.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26And 1895 is the hallmark, here it comes.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31Lot number 355 is this lovely umbrella with the ivory loop handle.

0:40:59 > 0:41:02There's the bid. At £160!
0:41:02 > 0:41:05And I sell then at 160 and done. Thank you.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08- £160.- Well, sorry! - He sold it for...
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Well done. That is plus 80.
0:41:11 > 0:41:17- That's really good.- And that would have made us a profit of 20?- Of 15.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- You've had a great time.- Great time. - Well done for your profit.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Everybody's done well. It's smelling of roses in every direction.

0:41:27 > 0:41:30OK. All will be revealed in a moment. Thank you.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42- Well, well, well! You been chatting, you lot?- No!- No!
0:41:42 > 0:41:47Because it's no secret, it's been an unmitigated disaster today.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51- Absolute shambles all round.- Aw!
0:41:51 > 0:41:55With one shining exception, which happens to be David Barby.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Ah, ha!
0:41:57 > 0:42:02David Barby makes a profit of £80 on his bonus buy,
0:42:02 > 0:42:07and the Blues decide not to go with it on ethic...on ethical grounds.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- Ethical grounds.- Ethical grounds.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12We've got to stand up for ethics here, whoever she is.
0:42:12 > 0:42:17Anyway, to reveal the result though, the runners up today are the Reds.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- Oh!- Oh!- Minus £108.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23It's minus, minus, minus all the way through
0:42:23 > 0:42:26and we're not going to dwell on the detail, right. No.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28On another day, it could all have been very, very different.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30- True.- Yes.- Yes.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- Did you have a nice time?- Wonderful! - Ah!- Absolutely brilliant.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37- Good for you, Sylv?- Fantastic. - Super! Well, we've loved having you on the show.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41- Loved being here. - Teachers rule, yes?- Yes!- Brilliant!
0:42:41 > 0:42:46But the victors today, who managed to lose £65 overall,
0:42:46 > 0:42:48despite David's best attempts...
0:42:48 > 0:42:52- It's been fun, I hope.- Wonderful.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Join us soon anyway. And you lot!
0:42:54 > 0:42:57We've had such a lovely time, why don't you all join us soon
0:42:57 > 0:43:00- for some more bargain hunting, yes?- YES!!
