0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today, we're at the Newark Antiques Fair in Nottinghamshire,
0:00:04 > 0:00:08the largest in Europe. It is massive.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12So, no mucking about, let's go bargain hunting. Yeah.
0:00:35 > 0:00:384,000 stalls, 84 acres, two experts,
0:00:38 > 0:00:42two teams, coupled with 60 minutes of bliss shopping.
0:00:42 > 0:00:49This is an endurance race. But will our teams turn up any decent items?
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Stay tuned to find out.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Our expert desperately tries to keep the Reds under control.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Don't start looking at anything else.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00While the other is run into the ground by the Blues.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- Steady.- Steady.- Steady. - Poor old boy.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Let's get out of the cold and meet the teams.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09So on the Red team today, we have partners Fran and Pete
0:01:09 > 0:01:13and for the Blues, Lindsay and Hannah, a mother and daughter combo.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18The big question is which is the mother and which is the daughter?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Hello, everyone.- BOTH: Hello.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Lovely to see you. So, Fran, what sort of job of work do you have?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27I'm a customer service agent for a well-known DIY company
0:01:27 > 0:01:29and I absolutely love my job.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31My family have always said I'm in the best job.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34You don't stop talking for eight hours a day.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36It says here you're frightfully keen on swimming
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- but you don't like the sea. - I love swimming.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I can swim, well, about five miles, done all my badges, everything,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45but I always said I would drown in a boating lake
0:01:45 > 0:01:49because I'm absolutely petrified of being in the same vicinity as fish.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Oh, right.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53If I was to put my toe in the sea I could probably go up to my shin
0:01:53 > 0:01:56and if I see a bit of seaweed, anything, I scream and I'm out.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Did something happen to you as a child in the water?
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Yeah, yeah, I was showing off.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I had a face mask on, so I swam underwater
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- and I came face to face with a pike. - Really?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I was out of that water, out, dressed and ran up the road.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Put you right off?- Oh, yes.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Now Pete, you're an electrician. - Yes.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13What do you do in your spare time?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I coach football. I'm a qualified football coach
0:02:15 > 0:02:19and I work for at the moment a semi-pro team called Woodford United.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- What about collections? - Vinyl records, that's my passion.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24So how many records have you got?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Roughly about at the moment about 14,500.- You never have?- Yes, yes.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- 14,500?- Yes, I have. - Where do you keep them all?
0:02:32 > 0:02:37- In storage, in my house.- I mean, 14,000 records is a lot of records.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Yes.- Dear, oh dear. So what are your tactics going to be today?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Not buy records, I hope. - I'm not allowed.- You're not allowed.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- I'm not allowed to. - What are your tactics then?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Our goal today is if we make a pound profit on everything,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- we get the golden gavel. That's our goal today.- That is perfectly true.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Not a lot of money, just want a golden gavel.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55All right, fine, that's your strategy.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59I wish you very, very good luck with that. Now, Lindsay, hi, darling.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01What sort of job of work do you have?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I work in a local Church of England secondary school
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and I think it's the best job in the school
0:03:06 > 0:03:10because all I do, all day, every day, is organise their school trips.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Where do they go, these kiddiewinks?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15They go down the road and then as far afield as Australia
0:03:15 > 0:03:18and the Far East, which I have helped to organise
0:03:18 > 0:03:23but the best one I've been on is to Hawaii and San Francisco and Los Angeles.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Somehow the school pays you to go to Hawaii and San Francisco?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29It was fab, to look at a volcano.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Get away. That's a jammy do, isn't it?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- It was very jammy.- Well, how lovely.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- So you haven't always enjoyed your job, have you?- No, I haven't.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41On my 19th birthday I decided to join the British Army
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- and I lasted six weeks.- Did you? Were you just so unhappy?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- It was hard work.- Was it? - And the shoes were awful.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- Were they, those big old boots? - I love shoes.- No heels?- No.- No.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Now, Hannah, you have an interest in history and collections.- I do.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01For my first degree I studied history,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04to my Masters which was in museum and heritage management.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Always been interested in history. - And what do you do now?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- I'm the custodian for Lamport Hall in Northamptonshire.- You never are?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14I am indeed. I absolutely love my job. I've been really, really lucky.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15I've worked in some beautiful houses,
0:04:15 > 0:04:17including Burghley House, Harewood House.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21If you could be custodian of any stately home, which one would it be?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Without a doubt, it would be Chatsworth.- Would it?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27It's just such an incredible, the whole estate is just an incredible
0:04:27 > 0:04:29and inspiring place.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32The first time my mum ever took me to Chatsworth, I went with my mum
0:04:32 > 0:04:35and my best friend, and when we walked in, it just made me cry
0:04:35 > 0:04:37because it's just so beautiful and so inspiring
0:04:37 > 0:04:40for somebody who enjoys looking after places like that.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Yes, so what sort of thing will you two birds be looking out for today?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Something with some shoes on it.- For you, definitely. We've definitely...
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- Shoes!- I love shoes.- Not boots. And what about you, Hannah?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Something to do with military, preferably women's military.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I did my dissertation on the WAFS.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59You didn't do your dissertation on your mother's
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- experiences in the Army? - No, I didn't!- Just as well.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05You're really looking forward to this shopping, you two?
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Definitely, it's going to be fun.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Well, you need not wait much longer because here comes the £300.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- Thank you.- You know the rules. Your experts await.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16And off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Dressed for the cold and always trendy,
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Anita Manning will be helping out the Reds.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26And rarely thrown when finding a bargain,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29the majestic David Barby will be advising the Blues.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33It's brass monkeys in Newark today,
0:05:33 > 0:05:37so that should keep our teams on their frozen little toes.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40This is exciting. We've got 300 quid to spend.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43With so many stalls here, what are you going to look for?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Who's good at bargaining? - I'm not too bad. Not too bad.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48A little bit of silver.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I'd like a bit of militaria, preferably women's militaria.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54That'll get us a bargain, let's go.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58OK, that's the clock started.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02We've only got an hour and it's a short, short time.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03It certainly is, Anita.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07The goal today, the golden gavel.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- A golden gavel.- We need a golden gavel.- Three wins in a row.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- Three profits.- Three wins, OK. It's all up to you guys.- OK.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17We don't part with the golden gavels lightly, Pete,
0:06:17 > 0:06:19but I like your ambition.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21We've get tons of wee boxes here.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24TUNE PLAYS IN BOX
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- How old do you reckon that is, Anita?- Hm?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- How old do you reckon that is? - I don't particularly like it.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32It's maybe from about the 1930s or 1940s
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- and it's made up to look like an old rug box.- Yeah.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38It's a nice wee thing but it's not an item of any great quality.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43- No.- No.- But it's a tricky wee item. Can you make out the tune?
0:06:43 > 0:06:47It sounds like Little Donkey. It sounds like Little Donkey.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I haven't got it on vinyl. I know that.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- # Da da da. # - Is it...?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Singing isn't our strength.- No, no.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Anyway, it's a nice wee thing and it's only £10.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Do you think we could make a small profit on that?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- You certainly could. - Golden gavel, remember.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Golden gavel. - Golden gavel, golden gavel.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- It's not dear, we might come back. - If we haven't found anything. - We've only been here 30 seconds.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Yeah, I just want to spend some money.- We're going to.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Don't you worry, girl,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16there's plenty of opportunity to part with your cash here.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27This is nice. It's punch decoration and just look at it.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Do you know the sort of medieval drawings of the Pre-Raphaelites?
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Yeah.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Or Wee Willie Winkie. - That's extraordinary, isn't it?
0:07:36 > 0:07:37Wee Willie Winkie, yes.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I love it and it's the sort of thing I would have.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42In fact, in one of my previous houses I had a few Wee Willie Winkie
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- candlestick holders.- Is that what you call them? Wee Willie Winkie?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Yeah, that's what we call them. - That's what they are, aren't they?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- That is what they are, isn't it? - Little chamber sticks.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- That's the correct term. - Wee Willie Winkies!
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- It's beautiful, you handle it. - I do like that.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00It is something you would have in your house, definitely.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- I think that's very good.- So how much?- I was going to say, yeah. 45.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Well, 45, I think we could probably negotiate.- Yeah. How much negotiate?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I think we might get it down to around about 37, 35.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Do you think we'll make a profit on it?- Yeah.- Do you?- Yes.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Famous last words, David. Hm.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I'll ask 30 for a start.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- You're good at the bargaining. - I do like that.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24It gives is a very good margin to start with.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- You're buying one object. - Or do we come back in a minute?
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Make your decision now.- Shall we go for it?- Something that's different.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Shall we see what he says? - See what he says.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37You get on with it, Lindsay. Time's passing by.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- We're now five minutes in. - There's no maker's name.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- No maker's name?- No. - Not Boosey and Hawkes?- No.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Do you play a musical instrument? - No, I can blow a trumpet.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- I can blow it.- Can you blow your own trumpet?- All the time, all the time.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Has he rejected it, has he? Bless him.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54You're quite happy about that, aren't you?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58He's got trumpets at home and bugles, and he blows my ears off.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00She doesn't mince her words, does she, Pete?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03She's very good.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- How much?- 37.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- I would be inclined to go for it at 37.- Go on, we'll go for it.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Thank you.- Yeah! - I do like that.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- I think it's stunning, I really think that's stunning.- It is lovely.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- It's nice, you like it. - I do like that.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Well done, Mum. David's shown them the light.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Will the Blues' first purchase illuminate the sale room
0:09:23 > 0:09:25and bring a profit?
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Now, I like those, Anita. What do you reckon to those?
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Those are a big statement. - They are, aren't they?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Tell me why you like them. Let's go over and have a look.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I like the colour, the shape.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40They've got little bits of gold in them, haven't they?
0:09:40 > 0:09:45- What age do you think they are? - Let's have a wee look.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46They look quite new.
0:09:46 > 0:09:52Well, they do have a wee bit of quality, a wee bit. They are big.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- They are colourful and I love these colours.- Vibrant.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01They are gorgeous looking. You like them, someone else will like them.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04You could put these in a house with lots of dark wood,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07the brown wood, and you could also put this in a minimalist house, couldn't you?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- She loves it, doesn't she? I- like them.- She's getting all, er...
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- I can't stop talking, I like them, they're mine now.- Well, that's it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Now, they are priced at 55 each, so they're priced individually.- OK.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Golden gavel.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- Well...- Discount for bulk buying.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Disc... Well, I think we'd better get the...
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Shall we have a word with the... - ..the dealer.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27- Yeah.- The dealer.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- What do you want to do? - Shall we zoom round the outside?
0:10:36 > 0:10:37You can do that by all means.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39You mentioned kitchenalia.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41We're standing by a stall with kitchenalia.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Do you want to have a look at this first?- A quick look first, yeah.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45- OK.- Yeah.- Right.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49See, something like that is a nice piece.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53For hats.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55No, right.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I know you want them to hang on to your every word, David,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01but they don't look impressed. Now, have the Reds found the dealer?
0:11:01 > 0:11:06This woman has been waxing poetical about these fabulous big vases
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- and they'd like to buy the pair. - Yeah. Bulk buying.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Discount for bulk buying, that's what we want.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14What would be your best price on these?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Er...95.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Could you go 80?- 85.
0:11:23 > 0:11:2685 and that's as far as I can go.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- PETE:- 85?- Yeah.- Go on. - I'll do the deal.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- Right.- Shake on it. Thank you. - Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Well, they're big and they're beautiful and you deserve them.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Hurray.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40That's a colourful start for the Reds.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42They've made their first purchase.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Do you like the feel of the fair?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Yeah, first time I've ever been to something like this.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- You've got the weird and the wonderful and the beautiful.- Yeah.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- Match holder. You put matches in his hat.- In his head. Yeah.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01Yes. The little thing next door to it is militaria.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It's a dugout from the First World War.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07It represents a period of history, that's why it's so good.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- How much is that? You've got 48 on the bottom.- 40.- Oh, no.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Lower, can you please? - Can you smile, real nice?
0:12:14 > 0:12:21- We are really nice.- 60.- Oh, I did my dissertation on the First World War.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- Are you really serious?- I promise I did, my degree's in history.- 35.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29I can't go any less. That's a good buy at 35.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Is it one of the ones that they made over there, so that afterwards...?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37No, these were made in Carltonware china during the First World War
0:12:37 > 0:12:39and they were sold as sort of
0:12:39 > 0:12:42commemorative things of the First World War.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44It's the bottom bit I like.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46"Tommies dugout somewhere in France."
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I think it's a very nice little piece.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51This is where I come from, this is where you...
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- It's almost 100 years old, nearly as old as David.- Cheeky.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Do you know, you're so right.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- Put it back, we're not buying from this stand.- Could you go to 30?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- No. 35. No.- 32.- No, no.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- At 32, we'll buy.- Is that all you want from me, 32, is it?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Yeah.- Are you offering as well?
0:13:08 > 0:13:1132 then, yes, because you're such beautiful young ladies.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Shall we take it? - Yes, please. Thank you.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- Well, I'm amazed, I'm absolutely amazed at that.- Thank you.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I'm really pleased with that.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23So, that's the second purchase made for the Blues
0:13:23 > 0:13:27but will they prove victorious in the saleroom battle?
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Only time will tell.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Talking of which, we're now half way through the shop.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- That would play vinyl.- Yeah, plays the old shellac, the old 78s.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- Have you got one?- Yeah.- Not like this, just the old portable ones.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- Does he DJ at home?- Oh, yeah.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43When it's nice and hot on the patio, out comes the DJ equipment
0:13:43 > 0:13:45and there he is doing his little bit. There's only me.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Sounds like he leaves you in a flat spin, Fran. Woof.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Right, how's it going for those Blues?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53We're still looking for you, aren't we?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Yeah, Hannah's found her militaria,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59so I need to find something that I like now.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04Their tactics so far, a little bit haphazard.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06There is no direct plan in mind.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I think David's really sweet. He reminds me of Grandad.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Yeah, we've called him Grandad already, haven't we?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- Where is he?- Grandad?- Is he down there? What have you spotted?
0:14:16 > 0:14:17You what?
0:14:17 > 0:14:18LAUGHTER
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Come on, Gramps, jump to it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Right, we're going outside.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Are we going outside? OK.- OK, right.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26A breath of fresh air before it gets dark.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29And the air certainly is fresh outside. Take my word for it.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I was just looking at the old wooden box.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33You're getting right into this, aren't you?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- I could be here for hours, honestly.- I know.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I'm absolutely loving it, absolutely loving it.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42There's just too much, I need about four hours just to buy one item.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- Although we have bought one. - Me too, me too.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47It's excellent, excellent, I'm having a really good time,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- a really good time, and Anita, top drawer.- Oh, yeah.- Top drawer.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54I'm getting panicky now, I'm getting panicky. I'm getting panicky, guys.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55We've got to get another one.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- She's flapping, she's definitely flapping now.- We've got 20 minutes.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Have a quick march down here. - We'll have a quick march down here.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06We're all sort of wandering and separating all over the place,
0:15:06 > 0:15:07so I've got to go now.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11We've got a lot of work to do and we don't have much time to do it.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20There are some extraordinary things, you know, in some of these fairs.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Take this little fellow. What does it look like?
0:15:24 > 0:15:28If I give it a spin you can see that this padded top is adjustable.
0:15:28 > 0:15:34It comes up. Look how beautifully engineered that rising thread is.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39It comes out of a bell metal collar, that sits on top of an alloy shaft.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41That's all perfectly straightforward.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Looks on that basis to be a bit of a bar stool.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48But if you were sitting on this at a cocktail bar,
0:15:48 > 0:15:52you'd find that the whole of this column moves
0:15:52 > 0:15:56because the column is flexibly mounted
0:15:56 > 0:15:59to a socking great chromium plated spring on the bottom.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03But why the flexible base?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Let's give it a demo, shall we? Ooh, that is heavy.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09There we go. Safely applied to the ground.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Now, one bottom applied to the seat.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17You can see it in action mode, which means that when you're seated
0:16:17 > 0:16:24on this stool, you can move smoothly in practically any direction at all.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Which is extraordinary.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31And the person who'd need to have all this movement is a dentist.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35In front of the dentist would be the patient, that's you and me,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38mouth open, receiving the drill.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41The dentist imperceptibly moves
0:16:41 > 0:16:44when he's going about his professional practice and work
0:16:44 > 0:16:48and he needs a little stool like this to do it off.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52So it's kind of a redundant piece of dental surgery equipment.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54And according to the dealer,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57it came from a dentist's surgery in Merthyr Tydfil.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00So it's a Welsh dentist's chair.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01HE CHUCKLES
0:17:01 > 0:17:06That must be why he was asking £100 for it. Ouch!
0:17:06 > 0:17:11That's just 15 minutes to go, then. Both teams need to get a move on.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14The Reds need to make two more purchases. Yikes!
0:17:15 > 0:17:19It's a nice little item. It is hallmarked here.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22You see Birmingham hallmark. It's very tidy.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25That's machined silver, which is good
0:17:25 > 0:17:28and it's in very good condition.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- It's a sweet little item.- OK.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34So I think that if you can't get something in ten seconds,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37then we've got a chance of making a little bit on that.
0:17:37 > 0:17:44- What do you think it would fetch? - It could do 45, 50.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- So we just could make a pound or so. - You could just make... - To get our golden gavel.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Yeah, right!- Pete's insistent.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52That's what he wants. Nothing else, as long as he gets his gavel.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57- I know, but we were awful slow. Here he is.- What do you reckon to this?
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Price, what's the price?
0:17:58 > 0:18:03Well, it was marked up at 45 and I'm not sure if he'll go
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- much lower than that.- Do you want me to try?- 40, 40.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- You can try.- Do you want to do it?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13You can do it. The box is still there. The music box is still there.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- And what can we get? - I've not asked yet.- All right, OK.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- Do you want to haggle, do you want me to do it?- Do you want to do it?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23You do it, go on, you do it. You're the man.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Time's running out. We're all feeling the pressure.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Hey, ladies, deal's done.- Well done. - No discount though.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I know, but I didn't think there would be.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Run.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- Last item.- OK.- Cheap and cheerful. - Cheap and cheerful.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- That's no way to treat Grandpa. - Steady, steady.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53- I'm not really that old. Ha-ha-ha. - No, Grandad.- Oh!
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Now, what's Imelda Marcos spotted here?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I like that shoe, is it a pincushion?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Yes.- I love that.- I must admit, Mum, it does...
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- That is me, to a T.- It shouts you.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- I absolutely love that. DEALER:- That is 160.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19What's the very, very, very, best, please, madam?
0:19:20 > 0:19:24You know, I know you're sort of... I'll say 140, but that has to be it.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29It fulfils two purposes, doesn't it? First of all, mummies want silver.
0:19:29 > 0:19:35If I bought that, it means I've got 255 pairs of shoes instead of 254.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- But it's not a pair.- Oh, no. - It's 254 and a half!
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- What are you going to do about that? - I'd buy that, myself.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Would you really?- I would, yeah. - You would, wouldn't you?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- I've got a pincushion.- I'd say there's no great profit in this.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- No, there's not, is there? - No great profit margin on it.
0:19:49 > 0:19:55- Is there anything else you can do at all?- A teeny bit more?- A fiver?
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- DEALER:- A fiver, a fiver, by all means.- I was going to ask for ten. - No, no. No, no, no.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- A fiver, I will.- That's 135.- The condition is superb.- There you are.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Do you want it?- It's your choice, I've chosen mine.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- Please may we take that? DEALER:- Of course you may.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10- HANNAH:- Thank you.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- DEALER:- Thank you very much indeed. I wish you every success.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Are you happy with that? - I love it.- You do like it, don't you?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Do you want to have a look?- Oh, my.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23A well-heeled deal sealed with a loving kiss. Aw!
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- DEALER:- That's why you do it, isn't it, David?
0:20:25 > 0:20:30- We've got four minutes to go. - I quite like this, Anita.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- 35.- Mm-hm. Yeah.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39This would have been made by a cooper and it's functional.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I mean, you've got plenty of money to spend.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- I quite like that, I quite like that. What's this one?- It was here.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Oh, that's an urn. Put your ashes in that.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- What's this?- That's a metronome.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- What's that, tick tick tick? - Tick tick tick tick.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Tick tick, tock tock, watch that clock. You've got two minutes left.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02- The box, or the planter. I'll get the dealer over.- Or...
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Two minutes... Don't start looking at anything else!
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- Don't start looking at anything else.- That's a cooler, isn't it?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Can you take something off the wee box?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Don't start looking at anything else!
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Right, he can give you that for 30 and he can take
0:21:16 > 0:21:20a couple of quid off that wee box, so it's your own choice.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I'll bring the wee box.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25We're about to be going ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- four, three, two, one second. - Do you want to buy that?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29We can make an actual pound on that,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32as long as we make a profit, go for that.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Go for that, OK, OK.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- OK, OK.- Keeping her fit!
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Go on, Anita. A fiver.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41We're two seconds over time, but don't tell anybody.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Finally, the Reds have all three purchases. As do the Blues.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- Yes!- Yes! Yes!
0:21:50 > 0:21:54That was the closest one that I've had for a long time.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- At least you enjoyed yourself and had a laugh on the way.- Yes, we did.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- And the deal's done.- The deal's done, let's go and get a cup of tea.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02So with shopping time over,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10£85 of the Reds' budget went on a pair of Italian multicoloured vases.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17£45 on the nose was spent on a 1930s silver powder compact.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21The oak musical box was acquired for the very limited tune
0:22:21 > 0:22:23of just eight notes.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Been happy, yeah, but no sporting memorabilia.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I don't know, I think you've got a sporting chance here.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Did you have a good shop? - Excellent, excellent. Good fun.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- So what was the grand total of expenditure?- £138.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Is that all?- I tried.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- Does that mean I want £162 of leftover lolly?- You can have it.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45All right, £162 of leftover lolly.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Which is your favourite piece, by the way?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51I do like the glass that I bought, however the wooden box that
0:22:51 > 0:22:53I bought, because I wanted to buy something wooden.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- So you like both of them, really. - Yeah, but I do like the wooden box.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57What do you like?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00I like the vases, but I think what Fran's trying to say is
0:23:00 > 0:23:04we're going for the golden gavel and we've got more chance of making
0:23:04 > 0:23:07a profit with the box than we have with the vases.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09OK, brilliant. Anita, there you go, darling.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- That's a wodge of cash.- It is.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13What are you going to spend all that cash on, Anita?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I don't know, but I'll try and spend as much as I possibly can because
0:23:16 > 0:23:18that's what Fran wants me to do.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20All right, fine, very good.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Well, good luck, teams, good luck, Anita.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:23:25 > 0:23:29They saw the light and paid £37 for a Victorian chamber stick.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34They spent £32 on a porcelain model of a World War I bunker.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41And finally, they walked away with a shoe pincushion for £135.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45It's a man's shoe, it's not a lady's shoe for a change.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47It's an unusual one, a little court shoe.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Let's not get sexist about this, girls, come on.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Man's shoes - a shoe's a shoe.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54A spade's a spade when it's not a shovel.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Anyway, did you have a lovely time? - We did, it was brilliant.- It was.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Do you feel even more bonded with your mother than you felt before?
0:24:01 > 0:24:02- Oh, yes.- Oh, I love all that.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05I have to ask you, which is your favourite piece?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Mine is the little tommie dugout that we bought.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- OK, which is your favourite piece, Ma?- The shoe.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13The shoe is your favourite. How much did you spend all round?
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- BOTH: £204.- £204.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- Right. Please may I have £96? - 95, thank you very much.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23I won't bother counting it because I trust you, Hannah.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- That's quite a lot of money to hand over.- It is a lot.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29My main problem, Tim, is I'm going to try
0:24:29 > 0:24:31and emulate this couple by keep arguing with myself.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33What are you going to buy us?
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Well, you've got a split personality so that's OK.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38One half can argue with the other.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Thank you.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Anyway, good luck with your cash, David, and good luck, teams.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Meanwhile, we're heading off to the wild,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47hairy haggis country up in the Borders.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Nestling in the Selkirk countryside is Bowhill House,
0:24:53 > 0:24:57a family home to the Dukes of Buccleuch.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01This great house boasts many fine interiors and treasured heirlooms,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04but today, I want to look at the fascinating masterpieces
0:25:04 > 0:25:09assembled by one particular family member, Walter Francis,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11the fifth Duke.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14One of the great Victorian philanthropists,
0:25:14 > 0:25:19Walter Francis was also the family's principal collector.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24He formed the most important and largest collection
0:25:24 > 0:25:27after that in the Royal family of...
0:25:27 > 0:25:32portrait miniatures... of which we see
0:25:32 > 0:25:34a small selection about us,
0:25:34 > 0:25:39because there are over 700 portrait miniatures,
0:25:39 > 0:25:44included in the collection, and this is just a tiny selection.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48So what was the big interest for the fifth Duke
0:25:48 > 0:25:50in collecting portrait miniatures?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Well, of course, they do represent
0:25:52 > 0:25:55British history through the centuries.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00The tradition of collecting miniatures goes back to Charles I,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03and therefore, for the fifth Duke to be able to buy
0:26:03 > 0:26:06this group of eight miniatures,
0:26:06 > 0:26:10all enclosed in an ebony frame which originally
0:26:10 > 0:26:14was in the collection of Charles I, would have been a big thrill.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19The eight images all relate to the Tudor dynasty.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24Indeed, the central image of Henry VIII is instantly recognisable,
0:26:24 > 0:26:29with Anne Boleyn to his right and Elizabeth I underneath.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33What's fun though is if we take
0:26:33 > 0:26:36another example of an image of Henry VIII.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41You can hardly believe that it is indeed the same man, but it is.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46On the back it says it was painted by Hans Holbein,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49a truly great 16th-century miniaturist,
0:26:49 > 0:26:54an image which he recorded of Henry VIII in 1526.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58The beauty of the thing though only really comes to light
0:26:58 > 0:27:00when you look at it under a glass.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05Here, we can see his sallow complexion,
0:27:05 > 0:27:08but look at his clothes.
0:27:08 > 0:27:14His vestment, a sort of grey brocade, but beautifully detailed.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17And his cloak, trimmed with fur.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20He's even wearing a gold necklace
0:27:20 > 0:27:24and you can make out almost every link of that.
0:27:24 > 0:27:30This, in effect, is a tour de force created in an early period.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33If we scroll forward a century,
0:27:33 > 0:27:38we come to the hand of a famous 17th-century artist, Samuel Cooper.
0:27:38 > 0:27:44In the middle we've got Oliver Cromwell, literally warts and all.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Not the most attractive of men.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48And he's flanked by his family.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53On the left, it's Mrs Cromwell and on the right, his daughter.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58And these three miniatures were painted between 1651 and 1653.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Condition with miniatures is as important as it is
0:28:03 > 0:28:05with other works of art
0:28:05 > 0:28:08and because this group have been kept so perfectly,
0:28:08 > 0:28:12we're able to enjoy the brilliant colour
0:28:12 > 0:28:15and vibrancy of the painting even to this day.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19The big question is, of course, for our teams over at the auction,
0:28:19 > 0:28:24is their profit to be a miniature one or to be ginormous?
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Well, I can't tell you how lovely it is to be in Market Harborough,
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Gildings sale room is where we're at with Mark Gilding,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- our auctioneer today. Mark. - Good morning, Tim.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45- First up, we've got a pair of these babies.- Another one, have you?
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Yes, there's another one.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48When do you think these date from?
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- They're pretty modern these ones, I think.- '60s?
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Maybe a bit later, the '70s, maybe.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Anyway, they're in good condition. There's a pair of them.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- They're here to go. What might they bring?- 70 to 100.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- Brilliant man, £85 paid.- OK.- OK, so we're very happy with that.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07Next is the engine-turned powder compact.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10These are quite a serious collectible these days, aren't they?
0:29:10 > 0:29:12They are. The fact that they're silver for a start,
0:29:12 > 0:29:14they've got some intrinsic value.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17And when you get something that's a nice shape,
0:29:17 > 0:29:19such as this one, and good-quality engine turning...
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- So what's it worth then, do you think?- I think 40-60.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Brilliant. £45 paid.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25That's a good estimate.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29And then lastly, we've got what I call a piece of shed work, right?
0:29:29 > 0:29:32This is made by a man who has sat for hours in his shed with
0:29:32 > 0:29:37a little bit of oak and this and that and he made this chest.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Play it again, Sam.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41TUNE PLAYS HALTINGLY
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Well, there we've got a clockwork movement at its best!
0:29:51 > 0:29:52Anyway, there we are.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55It's certainly a novelty. What's it worth, do you think?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Well, I'm trying to be positive and said 20 to 30.
0:29:58 > 0:30:03Look at you, you're a lovely man. They only paid £8 for it.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07That is brilliant, Mark. It's a perfectly nicely-made little thing.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- Got a bit of history to it.- Bit of a tune-up and it'll be fine.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15On that happy note...! Why don't we check out the Bonus Buy?
0:30:15 > 0:30:20- Now...ha-ha! Have you any idea what's underneath there?- A boat?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22A boat? Looks like a bit of a boat.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Anyway, you spent 138, which was pretty miserable.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27You gave Anita 162, and Anita,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30I'm going to reveal what you bought, darling. Woof!
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Wow! That's so nice!
0:30:33 > 0:30:35- You like it?- Yeah.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40It's a 1930s art deco figure ornament.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44We have this sort of relatively scantily-clad maiden
0:30:44 > 0:30:49holding two doves and she's sitting on this marble base.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Fran'll like this. This is the sort of stuff you like.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53That's me all over. What's she made of?
0:30:53 > 0:30:58Well, she's spelter, which is a base metal, patinated or painted.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- I know you like the art deco... - I do.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- I thought that would appeal to you. - Beautiful. I'd have that in my home.
0:31:03 > 0:31:10- What did it cost you, Anita? - It cost...£110.- Ohh.- It's not bad.
0:31:10 > 0:31:15- It's not bad.- And what do you think it will fetch in the auction?
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Well, let's hope it makes over £110!
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Now, that is a very canny reply, Anita Manning!
0:31:22 > 0:31:26OK, on that happy note, I think we'd better move on, don't you?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28But for the audience at home, let's find out
0:31:28 > 0:31:31what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's deco figure.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36Well, here it is, look. There she is in all her glory.
0:31:36 > 0:31:42- I would say a 1920s or '30s flapper. - Yes, quite a good spelter model.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45She's got the look. She certainly has. What's it worth?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I've put 100 to 150.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48Well, if you get anything like the top,
0:31:48 > 0:31:52you'll be Anita's best friend - she paid £110 for it, and why not?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55It's a good thing. That's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56Bit of a mixture here.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01We've got the Arts and Crafts-y looking chamber candlestick...
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Yes, Arts and Crafts style, late 19th century.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05It's certainly got the look to it.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Perhaps not the quality that it would need to be a really good one.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10I think it's quite a good thing. What's your estimate?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- I think it's good as well, 50 to 70. - Good. £37 paid.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17- So there may be a profit in there. - I think so.- That would be lovely.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Next is the Goss, but actually made by Carltonware,
0:32:20 > 0:32:23little novelty piece of ceramics. Don't you love that?
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Well, they're fun little things,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27especially this one with a Tommie's bunker.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29I know! There he is, look.
0:32:29 > 0:32:36All lonely in his dugout somewhere in Flanders in 1915.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- Very, very nice piece of social history. What's it worth?- 20 to 30.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45£32 paid. They may have got slightly carried away there, perhaps.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Next is the old boot, or should I say shoe?
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Beautifully made, isn't it?
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Yes, it is nice, of the period and good silver mounts.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56In great condition. Really quite collectable, these are.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- What do you think it's worth? - I've put 80 to 120.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- Are you being a bit mean there? - As mean as I can!
0:33:02 > 0:33:05No, I think the estimate is perfectly fair.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07They paid £135, actually.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- There's a chance we could get that. - Yeah, well...
0:33:10 > 0:33:12There are lots of reproductions, aren't there?
0:33:12 > 0:33:13But that's a genuine thing.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17But if it doesn't go well, they'll need their Bonus Buy,
0:33:17 > 0:33:19so let's go and have a look at it.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- Hannah, Lindsay, are you excited about this?- Nervous!
0:33:21 > 0:33:26What did David Barby spend the £96 of leftover lolly on?
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Watch very carefully... for this quality object.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- Oh, that's pretty! - Oh, I like that!
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- Do you know what it is?- No, what is it?- Let me open it up for you.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41This is a gentleman's, or a lady's, for that matter, soap container.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- I love that.- Today you could put jewellery, rings,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45or anything like that in it.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Or just use it as a collector's item.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Made by a guy called William Cummings in 1894.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53I wanted to buy something that reflected your personality.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56This is quality.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Only if you use coal tar, you can't get your fingers in!
0:34:00 > 0:34:02That is lovely. How much did you buy it for?
0:34:02 > 0:34:08- Mmmm, £96.- How much? - £96. But isn't it beautiful?
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- Just handle it. Ooh! The feel of it is lovely.- I love that.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16- Is it going to make us any money? - I'd like to see it do about 120.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- I love that. Do you like that, Hannah?- I'd buy it FOR you!
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- You can't!- Your chance will come in a moment.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Now, let's check out what the auctioneer thinks
0:34:25 > 0:34:27about David Barby's soapbox.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29That's quite rare, isn't it?
0:34:29 > 0:34:33- Yes, it is. It's quite a nice box, this one.- Nicely made. Who's the maker?
0:34:33 > 0:34:37The maker is William Cummins, hallmarked 1894.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39A well-regarded maker and collected in his own right.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- Absolutely.- A good collector's lot, this one.- OK.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Well, David Barby obviously rates it - what do you think it's worth?
0:34:46 > 0:34:48I've put 50 to 70.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52He paid £96. Anyway, he might get out of trouble if he's lucky, right?
0:34:52 > 0:34:56- On a good day.- Is this going to be a good day?
0:34:56 > 0:34:57Let's hope so!
0:34:57 > 0:34:59I quite agree! Thanks very much, Mark.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12Now, Pietro, Fran. Excited? It's a lovely moment, isn't it?
0:35:12 > 0:35:15You see a very crowded saleroom like this, stuffed up with people
0:35:15 > 0:35:19and they're all here to buy your lots. Maybe!
0:35:19 > 0:35:21This pair of very large and impressive
0:35:21 > 0:35:24mottled and aventurine-flecked vases.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Bids on the book with me here at £40.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32£40 I'm bid here, at 40. At 40 I'm bid here, at £40, 40.
0:35:32 > 0:35:39- At 45, do I see? At £40, I'm bid. 45, 50.- I can't bear this.- 55, 60.
0:35:39 > 0:35:4565. In the room now at 65. At 65, my bids are out then, at 65.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Standing at the back at 65.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49Ah!
0:35:49 > 0:35:53- £65.- That's the Golden Gavel gone. - Minus 20.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Can't believe that.
0:35:55 > 0:36:00- Now, here comes the compact.- And bids on the book open here at £20.
0:36:00 > 0:36:0320 I'm bid for the compact.
0:36:03 > 0:36:0622, 25, 28... 30. 32...
0:36:08 > 0:36:12Your turn, internet. In the room, then. At 32, I'm bid at 35.
0:36:12 > 0:36:1638. 40. 42.
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Bid now at 42.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22Still against you, Internet, at £42 I'm bid. I will sell at £42...
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- £42 is minus three.- I thought you were going to put your hand up!
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Minus 23.
0:36:30 > 0:36:35- Now, here comes your music box. - And bidding opens here at £20.
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Yes!
0:36:36 > 0:36:38£20 I'm bid, at 20.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43£20, I can't believe it myself. At £20, I'm bid here at 20.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48At 20 bid on the book, and it will be sold... Away at £20.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- Oh!- Well! Shed art!
0:36:52 > 0:36:54There we go! Never be snarky.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Here we go - plus twelve on that. I love it.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59So overall, you're minus eleven.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02What are you going to do? Will you go for the art deco figure?
0:37:02 > 0:37:07- You love it, you want it... - We may as well.- Go for it. Go on.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- Is that a decision?- Yes. - OK, we're going with it.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Now you've made your decision,
0:37:12 > 0:37:15I can tell you the auctioneer's estimate is £100-£150.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17You paid 110, Anita.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19This is exciting, here it comes.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23The figure of a lady, on that black marble navette-shaped base.
0:37:23 > 0:37:29- 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110.- Yes!
0:37:29 > 0:37:31110 I'm bid now, at 110.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32PETE: That's nice!
0:37:32 > 0:37:36At £110 I'm bid, at 110. 120, 130.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Yes.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41Your turn, it's 130 there. 130. 140.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- 150.- 140, 150... Look at this!
0:37:44 > 0:37:49- Clever woman, Anita Manning! - Telephone, what about you? £150.
0:37:51 > 0:37:58- 160, new bidding.- Yes!- You're both out then, at 160 I'm bid on my left.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59The telephone wins.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Away at £160...
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- Yes!- Well done, Anita!- £160.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- Thank you so much!- That is plus £50.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- Smashing job.- Chuffed as monkeys!
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- You didn't want to go with it! - I did in the end, though!
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Listened to the boss, didn't he?
0:38:14 > 0:38:17So you are overall plus £39. That's no mucking about.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20That's a proper score.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23You were well and truly out of it until you got to that little kist,
0:38:23 > 0:38:25anyway, there we go.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- Lovely. Plus 39. Don't tell the Blues a thing.- Not at all.- No way!
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- So, girls - excited?- Very! - Do you know how the Reds got on?
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- We don't.- Right. First up is a bit of brass. Here it comes.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49The arts and crafts brass chamber stick with die-stamped decoration.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54£20, opening bid. £20 I'm bid for the chamber stick.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56At 20 bid now, 20.
0:38:56 > 0:38:5922, 25... 25 I'm bid now, at 25.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03At 25, here to be sold at 25.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05My bid at 25, on the book here and selling...
0:39:05 > 0:39:09Make no mistake, ladies and gentlemen. 28 - new bidding at 28.
0:39:09 > 0:39:14At 28, bid at 28. Away at 28.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17- Oh, dear, £28.- I'm so disappointed.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20That's minus £9.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24- Nine. Not too bad. - Now, here comes the bunker.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27"Tommie's dugout, somewhere in France."
0:39:28 > 0:39:33And £5 only bid here, at five. 8, 10, 12, 15, 18...
0:39:35 > 0:39:38£18 I'm bid. 20. Are you bidding?
0:39:38 > 0:39:4222. You're out now, it's 22 there.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- At 22, 25? 25. 28? - 28 on the internet.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Are you both out in the room?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50The internet is in at 28, I'm bid at 28.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51Bit more, bit more!
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- Selling away at £28...- £28.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00- £28 is minus £4, which means you're minus £13.- Oh!
0:40:00 > 0:40:04- David, it's all on the shoe! - This is the million-dollar question!
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Come on, Hannah - be brave here, girl. Grip hard.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Bidding on my book starts at 35,
0:40:09 > 0:40:1645, 55, 65, 75, 80...five, 90.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- 90 bid now, at 90.- Come on!- Five. New bidding.
0:40:21 > 0:40:2395, I'm bid at 95.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27You're all out over here. £95, I'm bid at 95.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Selling away at £95. 100.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35- 100. He's come back again.- Your turn now, internet. It's 100 in the room.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38At 100 I'm bid. Fair warning, internet.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41It's against you, selling away for £100.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44£100, it's minus 35.
0:40:44 > 0:40:4835, 45, 48. Minus 48. OK?
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- Are you going with the soap container?- Well, I want to.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53We'll go with it. Mum wants to go with it.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- Is it going to make a profit, David? - I can't tell at this stage.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- Shall we go for it? - On what we just sold...- Yes.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03- But David doesn't think so. - No, we won't, then.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06So the decision is we're not going with it, but we're going to sell it
0:41:06 > 0:41:09anyway, just for the fun of seeing what it brings, and here it comes.
0:41:09 > 0:41:10William Cummings...
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Bidding opens with me here at 35,
0:41:12 > 0:41:1645, 50, 5, 60, 5, 70...
0:41:18 > 0:41:22..5, 80, 90, 100. 110.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28110 now, all my bids are out.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30We're in the room now. At £110...
0:41:30 > 0:41:35Uh-oh! £110 would have been plus £14.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39But as it is, we remain at minus 48.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44- That's not that bad.- Anyway, minus £48 could be a winning score,
0:41:44 > 0:41:46so don't say a word to the Reds, all right?
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- Everybody happy?- ALL: Yes! - You bet your life we are!
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Well, we've had a great show, haven't we?
0:41:56 > 0:42:01- Any idea who's ahead or behind? Been chatting?- ALL: No!- Suspicious!
0:42:01 > 0:42:05- Very!- Well, I have to say there is a chasm between our two teams today.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07As we don't have losers any more,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- the runners-up most definitely are the Blues.- ALL: Aaah!
0:42:10 > 0:42:13I mean, it just wasn't your day, was it?
0:42:13 > 0:42:17That shoe pincushion thing I maintain to my dying day
0:42:17 > 0:42:20was a splendid object. You shouldn't be minus 35 for that.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- But you had a good time?- It's been lovely.- Thank you very much.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26You've been a great mother-and-daughter combo,
0:42:26 > 0:42:28we've loved having you, but the victors today,
0:42:28 > 0:42:31who are going home with cash - with £39!
0:42:31 > 0:42:34- APPLAUSE - Look at Fran's face here!
0:42:34 > 0:42:39- She hasn't been so pleased in years, have you, darling?- No!
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- I've got coins coming out here! - One more, Tim - come on!
0:42:42 > 0:42:44No finish, I tell you. Brilliant.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48But of course your bacon was nearly entirely saved
0:42:48 > 0:42:51by the great Anita Manning's deco figure.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Without that, you would have been well and truly up a gum tree.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- Well done, Anita, for that. - Thanks, Anita.- You've had a good day?
0:42:57 > 0:43:01- I've a fantastic day.- Excellent.- Very nice to see you, Pete. Very good.
