Today, we're at the Newark Antiques Fair in Nottinghamshire,

0:00:020:00:04

the largest in Europe. It is massive.

0:00:040:00:08

So, no mucking about, let's go bargain hunting. Yeah.

0:00:080:00:12

4,000 stalls, 84 acres, two experts,

0:00:350:00:38

two teams, coupled with 60 minutes of bliss shopping.

0:00:380:00:42

This is an endurance race. But will our teams turn up any decent items?

0:00:420:00:49

Stay tuned to find out.

0:00:490:00:50

Our expert desperately tries to keep the Reds under control.

0:00:500:00:54

Don't start looking at anything else.

0:00:540:00:56

While the other is run into the ground by the Blues.

0:00:560:01:00

-Steady.

-Steady.

-Steady.

-Poor old boy.

0:01:000:01:03

Let's get out of the cold and meet the teams.

0:01:030:01:05

So on the Red team today, we have partners Fran and Pete

0:01:050:01:09

and for the Blues, Lindsay and Hannah, a mother and daughter combo.

0:01:090:01:13

The big question is which is the mother and which is the daughter?

0:01:130:01:18

-Hello, everyone.

-BOTH: Hello.

0:01:180:01:20

Lovely to see you. So, Fran, what sort of job of work do you have?

0:01:200:01:24

I'm a customer service agent for a well-known DIY company

0:01:240:01:27

and I absolutely love my job.

0:01:270:01:29

My family have always said I'm in the best job.

0:01:290:01:31

You don't stop talking for eight hours a day.

0:01:310:01:34

It says here you're frightfully keen on swimming

0:01:340:01:36

-but you don't like the sea.

-I love swimming.

0:01:360:01:39

I can swim, well, about five miles, done all my badges, everything,

0:01:390:01:42

but I always said I would drown in a boating lake

0:01:420:01:45

because I'm absolutely petrified of being in the same vicinity as fish.

0:01:450:01:49

Oh, right.

0:01:490:01:50

If I was to put my toe in the sea I could probably go up to my shin

0:01:500:01:53

and if I see a bit of seaweed, anything, I scream and I'm out.

0:01:530:01:56

Did something happen to you as a child in the water?

0:01:560:01:59

Yeah, yeah, I was showing off.

0:01:590:02:00

I had a face mask on, so I swam underwater

0:02:000:02:02

-and I came face to face with a pike.

-Really?

0:02:020:02:04

I was out of that water, out, dressed and ran up the road.

0:02:040:02:07

-Put you right off?

-Oh, yes.

0:02:070:02:09

-Now Pete, you're an electrician.

-Yes.

0:02:090:02:11

What do you do in your spare time?

0:02:110:02:13

I coach football. I'm a qualified football coach

0:02:130:02:15

and I work for at the moment a semi-pro team called Woodford United.

0:02:150:02:19

-What about collections?

-Vinyl records, that's my passion.

0:02:190:02:22

So how many records have you got?

0:02:220:02:24

-Roughly about at the moment about 14,500.

-You never have?

-Yes, yes.

0:02:240:02:28

-14,500?

-Yes, I have.

-Where do you keep them all?

0:02:280:02:32

-In storage, in my house.

-I mean, 14,000 records is a lot of records.

0:02:320:02:37

-Yes.

-Dear, oh dear. So what are your tactics going to be today?

0:02:370:02:40

-Not buy records, I hope.

-I'm not allowed.

-You're not allowed.

0:02:400:02:43

-I'm not allowed to.

-What are your tactics then?

0:02:430:02:45

Our goal today is if we make a pound profit on everything,

0:02:450:02:48

-we get the golden gavel. That's our goal today.

-That is perfectly true.

0:02:480:02:51

Not a lot of money, just want a golden gavel.

0:02:510:02:53

All right, fine, that's your strategy.

0:02:530:02:55

I wish you very, very good luck with that. Now, Lindsay, hi, darling.

0:02:550:02:59

What sort of job of work do you have?

0:02:590:03:01

I work in a local Church of England secondary school

0:03:010:03:03

and I think it's the best job in the school

0:03:030:03:06

because all I do, all day, every day, is organise their school trips.

0:03:060:03:10

Where do they go, these kiddiewinks?

0:03:100:03:11

They go down the road and then as far afield as Australia

0:03:110:03:15

and the Far East, which I have helped to organise

0:03:150:03:18

but the best one I've been on is to Hawaii and San Francisco and Los Angeles.

0:03:180:03:23

Somehow the school pays you to go to Hawaii and San Francisco?

0:03:230:03:27

It was fab, to look at a volcano.

0:03:270:03:29

Get away. That's a jammy do, isn't it?

0:03:290:03:31

-It was very jammy.

-Well, how lovely.

0:03:310:03:34

-So you haven't always enjoyed your job, have you?

-No, I haven't.

0:03:340:03:38

On my 19th birthday I decided to join the British Army

0:03:380:03:41

-and I lasted six weeks.

-Did you? Were you just so unhappy?

0:03:410:03:46

-It was hard work.

-Was it?

-And the shoes were awful.

0:03:460:03:50

-Were they, those big old boots?

-I love shoes.

-No heels?

-No.

-No.

0:03:500:03:54

-Now, Hannah, you have an interest in history and collections.

-I do.

0:03:540:03:58

For my first degree I studied history,

0:03:580:04:01

to my Masters which was in museum and heritage management.

0:04:010:04:04

-Always been interested in history.

-And what do you do now?

0:04:040:04:07

-I'm the custodian for Lamport Hall in Northamptonshire.

-You never are?

0:04:070:04:10

I am indeed. I absolutely love my job. I've been really, really lucky.

0:04:100:04:14

I've worked in some beautiful houses,

0:04:140:04:15

including Burghley House, Harewood House.

0:04:150:04:17

If you could be custodian of any stately home, which one would it be?

0:04:170:04:21

-Without a doubt, it would be Chatsworth.

-Would it?

0:04:210:04:24

It's just such an incredible, the whole estate is just an incredible

0:04:240:04:27

and inspiring place.

0:04:270:04:29

The first time my mum ever took me to Chatsworth, I went with my mum

0:04:290:04:32

and my best friend, and when we walked in, it just made me cry

0:04:320:04:35

because it's just so beautiful and so inspiring

0:04:350:04:37

for somebody who enjoys looking after places like that.

0:04:370:04:40

Yes, so what sort of thing will you two birds be looking out for today?

0:04:400:04:44

-Something with some shoes on it.

-For you, definitely. We've definitely...

0:04:440:04:48

-Shoes!

-I love shoes.

-Not boots. And what about you, Hannah?

0:04:480:04:52

Something to do with military, preferably women's military.

0:04:520:04:55

I did my dissertation on the WAFS.

0:04:550:04:57

You didn't do your dissertation on your mother's

0:04:570:04:59

-experiences in the Army?

-No, I didn't!

-Just as well.

0:04:590:05:02

You're really looking forward to this shopping, you two?

0:05:020:05:05

Definitely, it's going to be fun.

0:05:050:05:06

Well, you need not wait much longer because here comes the £300.

0:05:060:05:09

-Thank you.

-You know the rules. Your experts await.

0:05:090:05:13

And off you go and very, very, very good luck.

0:05:130:05:16

Dressed for the cold and always trendy,

0:05:180:05:20

Anita Manning will be helping out the Reds.

0:05:200:05:24

And rarely thrown when finding a bargain,

0:05:240:05:26

the majestic David Barby will be advising the Blues.

0:05:260:05:29

It's brass monkeys in Newark today,

0:05:310:05:33

so that should keep our teams on their frozen little toes.

0:05:330:05:37

This is exciting. We've got 300 quid to spend.

0:05:370:05:40

With so many stalls here, what are you going to look for?

0:05:400:05:43

-Who's good at bargaining?

-I'm not too bad. Not too bad.

0:05:430:05:46

A little bit of silver.

0:05:460:05:48

I'd like a bit of militaria, preferably women's militaria.

0:05:480:05:51

That'll get us a bargain, let's go.

0:05:510:05:54

OK, that's the clock started.

0:05:560:05:58

We've only got an hour and it's a short, short time.

0:05:580:06:02

It certainly is, Anita.

0:06:020:06:03

The goal today, the golden gavel.

0:06:050:06:07

-A golden gavel.

-We need a golden gavel.

-Three wins in a row.

0:06:070:06:10

-Three profits.

-Three wins, OK. It's all up to you guys.

-OK.

0:06:100:06:14

We don't part with the golden gavels lightly, Pete,

0:06:140:06:17

but I like your ambition.

0:06:170:06:19

We've get tons of wee boxes here.

0:06:190:06:21

TUNE PLAYS IN BOX

0:06:220:06:24

-How old do you reckon that is, Anita?

-Hm?

0:06:240:06:26

-How old do you reckon that is?

-I don't particularly like it.

0:06:260:06:29

It's maybe from about the 1930s or 1940s

0:06:290:06:32

-and it's made up to look like an old rug box.

-Yeah.

0:06:320:06:35

It's a nice wee thing but it's not an item of any great quality.

0:06:350:06:38

-No.

-No.

-But it's a tricky wee item. Can you make out the tune?

0:06:380:06:43

It sounds like Little Donkey. It sounds like Little Donkey.

0:06:430:06:47

I haven't got it on vinyl. I know that.

0:06:470:06:50

-# Da da da. #

-Is it...?

0:06:500:06:53

-Singing isn't our strength.

-No, no.

0:06:530:06:55

Anyway, it's a nice wee thing and it's only £10.

0:06:550:06:58

Do you think we could make a small profit on that?

0:06:580:07:01

-You certainly could.

-Golden gavel, remember.

0:07:010:07:03

-Golden gavel.

-Golden gavel, golden gavel.

0:07:030:07:05

-It's not dear, we might come back.

-If we haven't found anything.

-We've only been here 30 seconds.

0:07:050:07:09

-Yeah, I just want to spend some money.

-We're going to.

0:07:090:07:12

Don't you worry, girl,

0:07:120:07:13

there's plenty of opportunity to part with your cash here.

0:07:130:07:16

This is nice. It's punch decoration and just look at it.

0:07:230:07:27

Do you know the sort of medieval drawings of the Pre-Raphaelites?

0:07:270:07:31

Yeah.

0:07:310:07:32

-Or Wee Willie Winkie.

-That's extraordinary, isn't it?

0:07:320:07:36

Wee Willie Winkie, yes.

0:07:360:07:37

I love it and it's the sort of thing I would have.

0:07:370:07:39

In fact, in one of my previous houses I had a few Wee Willie Winkie

0:07:390:07:42

-candlestick holders.

-Is that what you call them? Wee Willie Winkie?

0:07:420:07:45

-Yeah, that's what we call them.

-That's what they are, aren't they?

0:07:450:07:48

-That is what they are, isn't it?

-Little chamber sticks.

0:07:480:07:50

-That's the correct term.

-Wee Willie Winkies!

0:07:500:07:53

-It's beautiful, you handle it.

-I do like that.

0:07:530:07:56

It is something you would have in your house, definitely.

0:07:560:08:00

-I think that's very good.

-So how much?

-I was going to say, yeah. 45.

0:08:000:08:04

-Well, 45, I think we could probably negotiate.

-Yeah. How much negotiate?

0:08:040:08:08

I think we might get it down to around about 37, 35.

0:08:080:08:11

-Do you think we'll make a profit on it?

-Yeah.

-Do you?

-Yes.

0:08:110:08:15

Famous last words, David. Hm.

0:08:150:08:17

I'll ask 30 for a start.

0:08:170:08:19

-You're good at the bargaining.

-I do like that.

0:08:190:08:21

It gives is a very good margin to start with.

0:08:210:08:24

-You're buying one object.

-Or do we come back in a minute?

0:08:240:08:27

-Make your decision now.

-Shall we go for it?

-Something that's different.

0:08:270:08:31

-Shall we see what he says?

-See what he says.

0:08:310:08:34

You get on with it, Lindsay. Time's passing by.

0:08:340:08:37

-We're now five minutes in.

-There's no maker's name.

0:08:370:08:41

-No maker's name?

-No.

-Not Boosey and Hawkes?

-No.

0:08:410:08:43

-Do you play a musical instrument?

-No, I can blow a trumpet.

0:08:430:08:46

-I can blow it.

-Can you blow your own trumpet?

-All the time, all the time.

0:08:460:08:50

Has he rejected it, has he? Bless him.

0:08:500:08:52

You're quite happy about that, aren't you?

0:08:520:08:54

He's got trumpets at home and bugles, and he blows my ears off.

0:08:540:08:58

She doesn't mince her words, does she, Pete?

0:08:580:09:00

She's very good.

0:09:000:09:03

-How much?

-37.

0:09:030:09:05

-I would be inclined to go for it at 37.

-Go on, we'll go for it.

0:09:050:09:09

-Thank you.

-Yeah!

-I do like that.

0:09:090:09:11

-I think it's stunning, I really think that's stunning.

-It is lovely.

0:09:110:09:15

-It's nice, you like it.

-I do like that.

0:09:150:09:17

Well done, Mum. David's shown them the light.

0:09:170:09:20

Will the Blues' first purchase illuminate the sale room

0:09:200:09:23

and bring a profit?

0:09:230:09:25

Now, I like those, Anita. What do you reckon to those?

0:09:250:09:29

-Those are a big statement.

-They are, aren't they?

0:09:290:09:33

Tell me why you like them. Let's go over and have a look.

0:09:330:09:35

I like the colour, the shape.

0:09:350:09:37

They've got little bits of gold in them, haven't they?

0:09:370:09:40

-What age do you think they are?

-Let's have a wee look.

0:09:400:09:45

They look quite new.

0:09:450:09:46

Well, they do have a wee bit of quality, a wee bit. They are big.

0:09:460:09:52

-They are colourful and I love these colours.

-Vibrant.

0:09:530:09:57

They are gorgeous looking. You like them, someone else will like them.

0:09:570:10:01

You could put these in a house with lots of dark wood,

0:10:010:10:04

the brown wood, and you could also put this in a minimalist house, couldn't you?

0:10:040:10:07

-She loves it, doesn't she? I

-like them.

-She's getting all, er...

0:10:070:10:11

-I can't stop talking, I like them, they're mine now.

-Well, that's it.

0:10:110:10:14

-Now, they are priced at 55 each, so they're priced individually.

-OK.

0:10:140:10:18

Golden gavel.

0:10:180:10:19

-Well...

-Discount for bulk buying.

0:10:190:10:21

Disc... Well, I think we'd better get the...

0:10:210:10:23

-Shall we have a word with the...

-..the dealer.

0:10:230:10:26

-Yeah.

-The dealer.

0:10:260:10:27

-What do you want to do?

-Shall we zoom round the outside?

0:10:330:10:36

You can do that by all means.

0:10:360:10:37

You mentioned kitchenalia.

0:10:370:10:39

We're standing by a stall with kitchenalia.

0:10:390:10:41

-Do you want to have a look at this first?

-A quick look first, yeah.

0:10:410:10:44

-OK.

-Yeah.

-Right.

0:10:440:10:45

See, something like that is a nice piece.

0:10:450:10:49

For hats.

0:10:510:10:53

No, right.

0:10:530:10:55

I know you want them to hang on to your every word, David,

0:10:550:10:58

but they don't look impressed. Now, have the Reds found the dealer?

0:10:580:11:01

This woman has been waxing poetical about these fabulous big vases

0:11:010:11:06

-and they'd like to buy the pair.

-Yeah. Bulk buying.

0:11:060:11:09

Discount for bulk buying, that's what we want.

0:11:090:11:12

What would be your best price on these?

0:11:120:11:14

Er...95.

0:11:140:11:16

-Could you go 80?

-85.

0:11:180:11:21

85 and that's as far as I can go.

0:11:230:11:26

-PETE:

-85?

-Yeah.

-Go on.

-I'll do the deal.

0:11:260:11:29

-Right.

-Shake on it. Thank you.

-Thank you very much. Thank you.

0:11:290:11:33

Well, they're big and they're beautiful and you deserve them.

0:11:330:11:36

Hurray.

0:11:360:11:37

That's a colourful start for the Reds.

0:11:370:11:40

They've made their first purchase.

0:11:400:11:42

Do you like the feel of the fair?

0:11:440:11:45

Yeah, first time I've ever been to something like this.

0:11:450:11:48

-You've got the weird and the wonderful and the beautiful.

-Yeah.

0:11:480:11:51

-Match holder. You put matches in his hat.

-In his head. Yeah.

0:11:530:11:56

Yes. The little thing next door to it is militaria.

0:11:560:12:01

It's a dugout from the First World War.

0:12:010:12:03

It represents a period of history, that's why it's so good.

0:12:030:12:07

-How much is that? You've got 48 on the bottom.

-40.

-Oh, no.

0:12:070:12:12

-Lower, can you please?

-Can you smile, real nice?

0:12:120:12:14

-We are really nice.

-60.

-Oh, I did my dissertation on the First World War.

0:12:140:12:21

-Are you really serious?

-I promise I did, my degree's in history.

-35.

0:12:210:12:25

I can't go any less. That's a good buy at 35.

0:12:250:12:29

Is it one of the ones that they made over there, so that afterwards...?

0:12:290:12:33

No, these were made in Carltonware china during the First World War

0:12:330:12:37

and they were sold as sort of

0:12:370:12:39

commemorative things of the First World War.

0:12:390:12:42

It's the bottom bit I like.

0:12:420:12:44

"Tommies dugout somewhere in France."

0:12:440:12:46

I think it's a very nice little piece.

0:12:460:12:48

This is where I come from, this is where you...

0:12:480:12:51

-It's almost 100 years old, nearly as old as David.

-Cheeky.

0:12:510:12:55

Do you know, you're so right.

0:12:550:12:56

-Put it back, we're not buying from this stand.

-Could you go to 30?

0:12:560:13:00

-No. 35. No.

-32.

-No, no.

0:13:000:13:03

-At 32, we'll buy.

-Is that all you want from me, 32, is it?

0:13:030:13:06

-Yeah.

-Are you offering as well?

0:13:060:13:08

32 then, yes, because you're such beautiful young ladies.

0:13:080:13:11

-Shall we take it?

-Yes, please. Thank you.

0:13:110:13:14

-Well, I'm amazed, I'm absolutely amazed at that.

-Thank you.

0:13:140:13:18

I'm really pleased with that.

0:13:180:13:20

So, that's the second purchase made for the Blues

0:13:200:13:23

but will they prove victorious in the saleroom battle?

0:13:230:13:27

Only time will tell.

0:13:270:13:28

Talking of which, we're now half way through the shop.

0:13:280:13:31

-That would play vinyl.

-Yeah, plays the old shellac, the old 78s.

0:13:310:13:34

-Have you got one?

-Yeah.

-Not like this, just the old portable ones.

0:13:340:13:38

-Does he DJ at home?

-Oh, yeah.

0:13:380:13:40

When it's nice and hot on the patio, out comes the DJ equipment

0:13:400:13:43

and there he is doing his little bit. There's only me.

0:13:430:13:45

Sounds like he leaves you in a flat spin, Fran. Woof.

0:13:450:13:49

Right, how's it going for those Blues?

0:13:490:13:51

We're still looking for you, aren't we?

0:13:510:13:53

Yeah, Hannah's found her militaria,

0:13:530:13:56

so I need to find something that I like now.

0:13:560:13:59

Their tactics so far, a little bit haphazard.

0:13:590:14:04

There is no direct plan in mind.

0:14:040:14:06

I think David's really sweet. He reminds me of Grandad.

0:14:060:14:09

Yeah, we've called him Grandad already, haven't we?

0:14:090:14:12

-Where is he?

-Grandad?

-Is he down there? What have you spotted?

0:14:120:14:16

You what?

0:14:160:14:17

LAUGHTER

0:14:170:14:18

Come on, Gramps, jump to it.

0:14:180:14:20

Right, we're going outside.

0:14:200:14:21

-Are we going outside? OK.

-OK, right.

0:14:210:14:24

A breath of fresh air before it gets dark.

0:14:240:14:26

And the air certainly is fresh outside. Take my word for it.

0:14:260:14:29

I was just looking at the old wooden box.

0:14:290:14:31

You're getting right into this, aren't you?

0:14:310:14:33

-I could be here for hours, honestly.

-I know.

0:14:330:14:36

I'm absolutely loving it, absolutely loving it.

0:14:360:14:38

There's just too much, I need about four hours just to buy one item.

0:14:380:14:42

-Although we have bought one.

-Me too, me too.

0:14:420:14:44

It's excellent, excellent, I'm having a really good time,

0:14:440:14:47

-a really good time, and Anita, top drawer.

-Oh, yeah.

-Top drawer.

0:14:470:14:50

I'm getting panicky now, I'm getting panicky. I'm getting panicky, guys.

0:14:500:14:54

We've got to get another one.

0:14:540:14:55

-She's flapping, she's definitely flapping now.

-We've got 20 minutes.

0:14:550:14:59

-Have a quick march down here.

-We'll have a quick march down here.

0:14:590:15:02

We're all sort of wandering and separating all over the place,

0:15:030:15:06

so I've got to go now.

0:15:060:15:07

We've got a lot of work to do and we don't have much time to do it.

0:15:070:15:11

There are some extraordinary things, you know, in some of these fairs.

0:15:160:15:20

Take this little fellow. What does it look like?

0:15:200:15:24

If I give it a spin you can see that this padded top is adjustable.

0:15:240:15:28

It comes up. Look how beautifully engineered that rising thread is.

0:15:280:15:34

It comes out of a bell metal collar, that sits on top of an alloy shaft.

0:15:340:15:39

That's all perfectly straightforward.

0:15:390:15:41

Looks on that basis to be a bit of a bar stool.

0:15:410:15:45

But if you were sitting on this at a cocktail bar,

0:15:450:15:48

you'd find that the whole of this column moves

0:15:480:15:52

because the column is flexibly mounted

0:15:520:15:56

to a socking great chromium plated spring on the bottom.

0:15:560:15:59

But why the flexible base?

0:15:590:16:03

Let's give it a demo, shall we? Ooh, that is heavy.

0:16:030:16:06

There we go. Safely applied to the ground.

0:16:060:16:09

Now, one bottom applied to the seat.

0:16:090:16:13

You can see it in action mode, which means that when you're seated

0:16:130:16:17

on this stool, you can move smoothly in practically any direction at all.

0:16:170:16:24

Which is extraordinary.

0:16:240:16:26

And the person who'd need to have all this movement is a dentist.

0:16:260:16:31

In front of the dentist would be the patient, that's you and me,

0:16:310:16:35

mouth open, receiving the drill.

0:16:350:16:38

The dentist imperceptibly moves

0:16:380:16:41

when he's going about his professional practice and work

0:16:410:16:44

and he needs a little stool like this to do it off.

0:16:440:16:48

So it's kind of a redundant piece of dental surgery equipment.

0:16:480:16:52

And according to the dealer,

0:16:520:16:54

it came from a dentist's surgery in Merthyr Tydfil.

0:16:540:16:57

So it's a Welsh dentist's chair.

0:16:570:17:00

HE CHUCKLES

0:17:000:17:01

That must be why he was asking £100 for it. Ouch!

0:17:010:17:06

That's just 15 minutes to go, then. Both teams need to get a move on.

0:17:060:17:11

The Reds need to make two more purchases. Yikes!

0:17:110:17:14

It's a nice little item. It is hallmarked here.

0:17:150:17:19

You see Birmingham hallmark. It's very tidy.

0:17:190:17:22

That's machined silver, which is good

0:17:220:17:25

and it's in very good condition.

0:17:250:17:28

-It's a sweet little item.

-OK.

0:17:280:17:30

So I think that if you can't get something in ten seconds,

0:17:300:17:34

then we've got a chance of making a little bit on that.

0:17:340:17:37

-What do you think it would fetch?

-It could do 45, 50.

0:17:370:17:44

-So we just could make a pound or so.

-You could just make...

-To get our golden gavel.

0:17:440:17:47

-Yeah, right!

-Pete's insistent.

0:17:470:17:49

That's what he wants. Nothing else, as long as he gets his gavel.

0:17:490:17:52

-I know, but we were awful slow. Here he is.

-What do you reckon to this?

0:17:520:17:57

Price, what's the price?

0:17:570:17:58

Well, it was marked up at 45 and I'm not sure if he'll go

0:17:580:18:03

-much lower than that.

-Do you want me to try?

-40, 40.

0:18:030:18:07

-You can try.

-Do you want to do it?

0:18:070:18:09

You can do it. The box is still there. The music box is still there.

0:18:090:18:13

-And what can we get?

-I've not asked yet.

-All right, OK.

0:18:130:18:16

-Do you want to haggle, do you want me to do it?

-Do you want to do it?

0:18:160:18:20

You do it, go on, you do it. You're the man.

0:18:200:18:23

Time's running out. We're all feeling the pressure.

0:18:280:18:32

-Hey, ladies, deal's done.

-Well done.

-No discount though.

0:18:330:18:36

I know, but I didn't think there would be.

0:18:360:18:39

Run.

0:18:400:18:41

-Last item.

-OK.

-Cheap and cheerful.

-Cheap and cheerful.

0:18:410:18:45

-That's no way to treat Grandpa.

-Steady, steady.

0:18:450:18:48

-I'm not really that old. Ha-ha-ha.

-No, Grandad.

-Oh!

0:18:480:18:53

Now, what's Imelda Marcos spotted here?

0:18:560:19:00

I like that shoe, is it a pincushion?

0:19:000:19:02

-Yes.

-I love that.

-I must admit, Mum, it does...

0:19:020:19:05

-That is me, to a T.

-It shouts you.

0:19:050:19:08

-I absolutely love that. DEALER:

-That is 160.

0:19:110:19:14

What's the very, very, very, best, please, madam?

0:19:140:19:19

You know, I know you're sort of... I'll say 140, but that has to be it.

0:19:200:19:24

It fulfils two purposes, doesn't it? First of all, mummies want silver.

0:19:240:19:29

If I bought that, it means I've got 255 pairs of shoes instead of 254.

0:19:290:19:35

-But it's not a pair.

-Oh, no.

-It's 254 and a half!

0:19:350:19:38

-What are you going to do about that?

-I'd buy that, myself.

0:19:380:19:42

-Would you really?

-I would, yeah.

-You would, wouldn't you?

0:19:420:19:44

-I've got a pincushion.

-I'd say there's no great profit in this.

0:19:440:19:47

-No, there's not, is there?

-No great profit margin on it.

0:19:470:19:49

-Is there anything else you can do at all?

-A teeny bit more?

-A fiver?

0:19:490:19:55

-DEALER:

-A fiver, a fiver, by all means.

-I was going to ask for ten.

-No, no. No, no, no.

0:19:550:19:59

-A fiver, I will.

-That's 135.

-The condition is superb.

-There you are.

0:19:590:20:04

-Do you want it?

-It's your choice, I've chosen mine.

0:20:040:20:07

-Please may we take that? DEALER:

-Of course you may.

0:20:070:20:09

-HANNAH:

-Thank you.

0:20:090:20:10

-DEALER:

-Thank you very much indeed. I wish you every success.

0:20:100:20:13

-Are you happy with that?

-I love it.

-You do like it, don't you?

0:20:130:20:16

-Do you want to have a look?

-Oh, my.

0:20:160:20:19

A well-heeled deal sealed with a loving kiss. Aw!

0:20:190:20:23

-DEALER:

-That's why you do it, isn't it, David?

0:20:230:20:25

-We've got four minutes to go.

-I quite like this, Anita.

0:20:250:20:30

-35.

-Mm-hm. Yeah.

0:20:300:20:33

This would have been made by a cooper and it's functional.

0:20:340:20:39

I mean, you've got plenty of money to spend.

0:20:390:20:41

-I quite like that, I quite like that. What's this one?

-It was here.

0:20:410:20:44

Oh, that's an urn. Put your ashes in that.

0:20:440:20:47

-What's this?

-That's a metronome.

0:20:470:20:50

-What's that, tick tick tick?

-Tick tick tick tick.

0:20:500:20:53

Tick tick, tock tock, watch that clock. You've got two minutes left.

0:20:530:20:57

-The box, or the planter. I'll get the dealer over.

-Or...

0:20:570:21:02

Two minutes... Don't start looking at anything else!

0:21:020:21:04

-Don't start looking at anything else.

-That's a cooler, isn't it?

0:21:040:21:07

Can you take something off the wee box?

0:21:070:21:09

Don't start looking at anything else!

0:21:090:21:12

Right, he can give you that for 30 and he can take

0:21:120:21:16

a couple of quid off that wee box, so it's your own choice.

0:21:160:21:20

I'll bring the wee box.

0:21:200:21:22

We're about to be going ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,

0:21:220:21:25

-four, three, two, one second.

-Do you want to buy that?

0:21:250:21:27

We can make an actual pound on that,

0:21:270:21:29

as long as we make a profit, go for that.

0:21:290:21:32

Go for that, OK, OK.

0:21:320:21:33

-OK, OK.

-Keeping her fit!

0:21:330:21:35

Go on, Anita. A fiver.

0:21:350:21:37

We're two seconds over time, but don't tell anybody.

0:21:370:21:41

Finally, the Reds have all three purchases. As do the Blues.

0:21:420:21:46

-Yes!

-Yes! Yes!

0:21:480:21:50

That was the closest one that I've had for a long time.

0:21:500:21:54

-At least you enjoyed yourself and had a laugh on the way.

-Yes, we did.

0:21:540:21:58

-And the deal's done.

-The deal's done, let's go and get a cup of tea.

0:21:580:22:01

So with shopping time over,

0:22:010:22:02

let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.

0:22:020:22:05

£85 of the Reds' budget went on a pair of Italian multicoloured vases.

0:22:050:22:10

£45 on the nose was spent on a 1930s silver powder compact.

0:22:120:22:17

The oak musical box was acquired for the very limited tune

0:22:170:22:21

of just eight notes.

0:22:210:22:23

Been happy, yeah, but no sporting memorabilia.

0:22:260:22:28

I don't know, I think you've got a sporting chance here.

0:22:280:22:31

-Did you have a good shop?

-Excellent, excellent. Good fun.

0:22:310:22:34

-So what was the grand total of expenditure?

-£138.

0:22:340:22:37

-Is that all?

-I tried.

0:22:370:22:39

-Does that mean I want £162 of leftover lolly?

-You can have it.

0:22:390:22:43

All right, £162 of leftover lolly.

0:22:430:22:45

Which is your favourite piece, by the way?

0:22:450:22:47

I do like the glass that I bought, however the wooden box that

0:22:470:22:51

I bought, because I wanted to buy something wooden.

0:22:510:22:53

-So you like both of them, really.

-Yeah, but I do like the wooden box.

0:22:530:22:56

What do you like?

0:22:560:22:57

I like the vases, but I think what Fran's trying to say is

0:22:570:23:00

we're going for the golden gavel and we've got more chance of making

0:23:000:23:04

a profit with the box than we have with the vases.

0:23:040:23:07

OK, brilliant. Anita, there you go, darling.

0:23:070:23:09

-That's a wodge of cash.

-It is.

0:23:090:23:11

What are you going to spend all that cash on, Anita?

0:23:110:23:13

I don't know, but I'll try and spend as much as I possibly can because

0:23:130:23:16

that's what Fran wants me to do.

0:23:160:23:18

All right, fine, very good.

0:23:180:23:20

Well, good luck, teams, good luck, Anita.

0:23:200:23:22

Why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?

0:23:220:23:25

They saw the light and paid £37 for a Victorian chamber stick.

0:23:250:23:29

They spent £32 on a porcelain model of a World War I bunker.

0:23:300:23:34

And finally, they walked away with a shoe pincushion for £135.

0:23:360:23:41

It's a man's shoe, it's not a lady's shoe for a change.

0:23:420:23:45

It's an unusual one, a little court shoe.

0:23:450:23:47

Let's not get sexist about this, girls, come on.

0:23:470:23:49

Man's shoes - a shoe's a shoe.

0:23:490:23:51

A spade's a spade when it's not a shovel.

0:23:510:23:54

-Anyway, did you have a lovely time?

-We did, it was brilliant.

-It was.

0:23:540:23:57

Do you feel even more bonded with your mother than you felt before?

0:23:570:24:01

-Oh, yes.

-Oh, I love all that.

0:24:010:24:02

I have to ask you, which is your favourite piece?

0:24:020:24:05

Mine is the little tommie dugout that we bought.

0:24:050:24:08

-OK, which is your favourite piece, Ma?

-The shoe.

0:24:080:24:10

The shoe is your favourite. How much did you spend all round?

0:24:100:24:13

-BOTH: £204.

-£204.

0:24:130:24:17

-Right. Please may I have £96?

-95, thank you very much.

0:24:170:24:21

I won't bother counting it because I trust you, Hannah.

0:24:210:24:23

-That's quite a lot of money to hand over.

-It is a lot.

0:24:230:24:27

My main problem, Tim, is I'm going to try

0:24:270:24:29

and emulate this couple by keep arguing with myself.

0:24:290:24:31

What are you going to buy us?

0:24:310:24:33

Well, you've got a split personality so that's OK.

0:24:330:24:36

One half can argue with the other.

0:24:360:24:38

Thank you.

0:24:380:24:39

Anyway, good luck with your cash, David, and good luck, teams.

0:24:390:24:42

Meanwhile, we're heading off to the wild,

0:24:420:24:45

hairy haggis country up in the Borders.

0:24:450:24:47

Nestling in the Selkirk countryside is Bowhill House,

0:24:500:24:53

a family home to the Dukes of Buccleuch.

0:24:530:24:57

This great house boasts many fine interiors and treasured heirlooms,

0:24:570:25:01

but today, I want to look at the fascinating masterpieces

0:25:010:25:04

assembled by one particular family member, Walter Francis,

0:25:040:25:09

the fifth Duke.

0:25:090:25:11

One of the great Victorian philanthropists,

0:25:110:25:14

Walter Francis was also the family's principal collector.

0:25:140:25:19

He formed the most important and largest collection

0:25:190:25:24

after that in the Royal family of...

0:25:240:25:27

portrait miniatures... of which we see

0:25:270:25:32

a small selection about us,

0:25:320:25:34

because there are over 700 portrait miniatures,

0:25:340:25:39

included in the collection, and this is just a tiny selection.

0:25:390:25:44

So what was the big interest for the fifth Duke

0:25:440:25:48

in collecting portrait miniatures?

0:25:480:25:50

Well, of course, they do represent

0:25:500:25:52

British history through the centuries.

0:25:520:25:55

The tradition of collecting miniatures goes back to Charles I,

0:25:550:26:00

and therefore, for the fifth Duke to be able to buy

0:26:000:26:03

this group of eight miniatures,

0:26:030:26:06

all enclosed in an ebony frame which originally

0:26:060:26:10

was in the collection of Charles I, would have been a big thrill.

0:26:100:26:14

The eight images all relate to the Tudor dynasty.

0:26:140:26:19

Indeed, the central image of Henry VIII is instantly recognisable,

0:26:190:26:24

with Anne Boleyn to his right and Elizabeth I underneath.

0:26:240:26:29

What's fun though is if we take

0:26:300:26:33

another example of an image of Henry VIII.

0:26:330:26:36

You can hardly believe that it is indeed the same man, but it is.

0:26:360:26:41

On the back it says it was painted by Hans Holbein,

0:26:410:26:46

a truly great 16th-century miniaturist,

0:26:460:26:49

an image which he recorded of Henry VIII in 1526.

0:26:490:26:54

The beauty of the thing though only really comes to light

0:26:540:26:58

when you look at it under a glass.

0:26:580:27:00

Here, we can see his sallow complexion,

0:27:000:27:05

but look at his clothes.

0:27:050:27:08

His vestment, a sort of grey brocade, but beautifully detailed.

0:27:080:27:14

And his cloak, trimmed with fur.

0:27:140:27:17

He's even wearing a gold necklace

0:27:170:27:20

and you can make out almost every link of that.

0:27:200:27:24

This, in effect, is a tour de force created in an early period.

0:27:240:27:30

If we scroll forward a century,

0:27:300:27:33

we come to the hand of a famous 17th-century artist, Samuel Cooper.

0:27:330:27:38

In the middle we've got Oliver Cromwell, literally warts and all.

0:27:380:27:44

Not the most attractive of men.

0:27:440:27:46

And he's flanked by his family.

0:27:460:27:48

On the left, it's Mrs Cromwell and on the right, his daughter.

0:27:480:27:53

And these three miniatures were painted between 1651 and 1653.

0:27:530:27:58

Condition with miniatures is as important as it is

0:27:590:28:03

with other works of art

0:28:030:28:05

and because this group have been kept so perfectly,

0:28:050:28:08

we're able to enjoy the brilliant colour

0:28:080:28:12

and vibrancy of the painting even to this day.

0:28:120:28:15

The big question is, of course, for our teams over at the auction,

0:28:150:28:19

is their profit to be a miniature one or to be ginormous?

0:28:190:28:24

Well, I can't tell you how lovely it is to be in Market Harborough,

0:28:320:28:36

Gildings sale room is where we're at with Mark Gilding,

0:28:360:28:39

-our auctioneer today. Mark.

-Good morning, Tim.

0:28:390:28:41

-First up, we've got a pair of these babies.

-Another one, have you?

0:28:410:28:45

Yes, there's another one.

0:28:450:28:46

When do you think these date from?

0:28:460:28:48

-They're pretty modern these ones, I think.

-'60s?

0:28:480:28:50

Maybe a bit later, the '70s, maybe.

0:28:500:28:52

Anyway, they're in good condition. There's a pair of them.

0:28:520:28:56

-They're here to go. What might they bring?

-70 to 100.

0:28:560:28:59

-Brilliant man, £85 paid.

-OK.

-OK, so we're very happy with that.

0:28:590:29:03

Next is the engine-turned powder compact.

0:29:030:29:07

These are quite a serious collectible these days, aren't they?

0:29:070:29:10

They are. The fact that they're silver for a start,

0:29:100:29:12

they've got some intrinsic value.

0:29:120:29:14

And when you get something that's a nice shape,

0:29:140:29:17

such as this one, and good-quality engine turning...

0:29:170:29:19

-So what's it worth then, do you think?

-I think 40-60.

0:29:190:29:22

Brilliant. £45 paid.

0:29:220:29:24

That's a good estimate.

0:29:240:29:25

And then lastly, we've got what I call a piece of shed work, right?

0:29:250:29:29

This is made by a man who has sat for hours in his shed with

0:29:290:29:32

a little bit of oak and this and that and he made this chest.

0:29:320:29:37

Play it again, Sam.

0:29:370:29:38

TUNE PLAYS HALTINGLY

0:29:380:29:41

Well, there we've got a clockwork movement at its best!

0:29:470:29:51

Anyway, there we are.

0:29:510:29:52

It's certainly a novelty. What's it worth, do you think?

0:29:520:29:55

Well, I'm trying to be positive and said 20 to 30.

0:29:550:29:58

Look at you, you're a lovely man. They only paid £8 for it.

0:29:580:30:03

That is brilliant, Mark. It's a perfectly nicely-made little thing.

0:30:030:30:07

-Got a bit of history to it.

-Bit of a tune-up and it'll be fine.

0:30:070:30:10

On that happy note...! Why don't we check out the Bonus Buy?

0:30:100:30:15

-Now...ha-ha! Have you any idea what's underneath there?

-A boat?

0:30:150:30:20

A boat? Looks like a bit of a boat.

0:30:200:30:22

Anyway, you spent 138, which was pretty miserable.

0:30:220:30:25

You gave Anita 162, and Anita,

0:30:250:30:27

I'm going to reveal what you bought, darling. Woof!

0:30:270:30:30

Wow! That's so nice!

0:30:300:30:33

-You like it?

-Yeah.

0:30:330:30:35

It's a 1930s art deco figure ornament.

0:30:350:30:40

We have this sort of relatively scantily-clad maiden

0:30:400:30:44

holding two doves and she's sitting on this marble base.

0:30:440:30:49

Fran'll like this. This is the sort of stuff you like.

0:30:490:30:51

That's me all over. What's she made of?

0:30:510:30:53

Well, she's spelter, which is a base metal, patinated or painted.

0:30:530:30:58

-I know you like the art deco...

-I do.

0:30:580:31:00

-I thought that would appeal to you.

-Beautiful. I'd have that in my home.

0:31:000:31:03

-What did it cost you, Anita?

-It cost...£110.

-Ohh.

-It's not bad.

0:31:030:31:10

-It's not bad.

-And what do you think it will fetch in the auction?

0:31:100:31:15

Well, let's hope it makes over £110!

0:31:150:31:17

Now, that is a very canny reply, Anita Manning!

0:31:190:31:22

OK, on that happy note, I think we'd better move on, don't you?

0:31:220:31:26

But for the audience at home, let's find out

0:31:260:31:28

what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's deco figure.

0:31:280:31:31

Well, here it is, look. There she is in all her glory.

0:31:320:31:36

-I would say a 1920s or '30s flapper.

-Yes, quite a good spelter model.

0:31:360:31:42

She's got the look. She certainly has. What's it worth?

0:31:420:31:45

I've put 100 to 150.

0:31:450:31:47

Well, if you get anything like the top,

0:31:470:31:48

you'll be Anita's best friend - she paid £110 for it, and why not?

0:31:480:31:52

It's a good thing. That's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.

0:31:520:31:55

Bit of a mixture here.

0:31:550:31:56

We've got the Arts and Crafts-y looking chamber candlestick...

0:31:560:32:01

Yes, Arts and Crafts style, late 19th century.

0:32:010:32:04

It's certainly got the look to it.

0:32:040:32:05

Perhaps not the quality that it would need to be a really good one.

0:32:050:32:08

I think it's quite a good thing. What's your estimate?

0:32:080:32:10

-I think it's good as well, 50 to 70.

-Good. £37 paid.

0:32:100:32:13

-So there may be a profit in there.

-I think so.

-That would be lovely.

0:32:130:32:17

Next is the Goss, but actually made by Carltonware,

0:32:170:32:20

little novelty piece of ceramics. Don't you love that?

0:32:200:32:23

Well, they're fun little things,

0:32:230:32:25

especially this one with a Tommie's bunker.

0:32:250:32:27

I know! There he is, look.

0:32:270:32:29

All lonely in his dugout somewhere in Flanders in 1915.

0:32:290:32:36

-Very, very nice piece of social history. What's it worth?

-20 to 30.

0:32:360:32:40

£32 paid. They may have got slightly carried away there, perhaps.

0:32:400:32:45

Next is the old boot, or should I say shoe?

0:32:450:32:48

Beautifully made, isn't it?

0:32:480:32:50

Yes, it is nice, of the period and good silver mounts.

0:32:500:32:52

In great condition. Really quite collectable, these are.

0:32:520:32:56

-What do you think it's worth?

-I've put 80 to 120.

0:32:560:32:58

-Are you being a bit mean there?

-As mean as I can!

0:32:580:33:02

No, I think the estimate is perfectly fair.

0:33:020:33:05

They paid £135, actually.

0:33:050:33:07

-There's a chance we could get that.

-Yeah, well...

0:33:070:33:10

There are lots of reproductions, aren't there?

0:33:100:33:12

But that's a genuine thing.

0:33:120:33:13

But if it doesn't go well, they'll need their Bonus Buy,

0:33:130:33:17

so let's go and have a look at it.

0:33:170:33:19

-Hannah, Lindsay, are you excited about this?

-Nervous!

0:33:190:33:21

What did David Barby spend the £96 of leftover lolly on?

0:33:210:33:26

Watch very carefully... for this quality object.

0:33:260:33:30

-Oh, that's pretty!

-Oh, I like that!

0:33:300:33:32

-Do you know what it is?

-No, what is it?

-Let me open it up for you.

0:33:320:33:36

This is a gentleman's, or a lady's, for that matter, soap container.

0:33:360:33:41

-I love that.

-Today you could put jewellery, rings,

0:33:410:33:43

or anything like that in it.

0:33:430:33:45

Or just use it as a collector's item.

0:33:450:33:47

Made by a guy called William Cummings in 1894.

0:33:470:33:51

I wanted to buy something that reflected your personality.

0:33:510:33:53

This is quality.

0:33:530:33:56

Only if you use coal tar, you can't get your fingers in!

0:33:560:34:00

That is lovely. How much did you buy it for?

0:34:000:34:02

-Mmmm, £96.

-How much?

-£96. But isn't it beautiful?

0:34:020:34:08

-Just handle it. Ooh! The feel of it is lovely.

-I love that.

0:34:080:34:11

-Is it going to make us any money?

-I'd like to see it do about 120.

0:34:110:34:16

-I love that. Do you like that, Hannah?

-I'd buy it FOR you!

0:34:160:34:19

-You can't!

-Your chance will come in a moment.

0:34:190:34:22

Now, let's check out what the auctioneer thinks

0:34:220:34:25

about David Barby's soapbox.

0:34:250:34:27

That's quite rare, isn't it?

0:34:270:34:29

-Yes, it is. It's quite a nice box, this one.

-Nicely made. Who's the maker?

0:34:290:34:33

The maker is William Cummins, hallmarked 1894.

0:34:330:34:37

A well-regarded maker and collected in his own right.

0:34:370:34:39

-Absolutely.

-A good collector's lot, this one.

-OK.

0:34:390:34:42

Well, David Barby obviously rates it - what do you think it's worth?

0:34:420:34:46

I've put 50 to 70.

0:34:460:34:48

He paid £96. Anyway, he might get out of trouble if he's lucky, right?

0:34:480:34:52

-On a good day.

-Is this going to be a good day?

0:34:520:34:56

Let's hope so!

0:34:560:34:57

I quite agree! Thanks very much, Mark.

0:34:570:34:59

Now, Pietro, Fran. Excited? It's a lovely moment, isn't it?

0:35:070:35:12

You see a very crowded saleroom like this, stuffed up with people

0:35:120:35:15

and they're all here to buy your lots. Maybe!

0:35:150:35:19

This pair of very large and impressive

0:35:190:35:21

mottled and aventurine-flecked vases.

0:35:210:35:24

Bids on the book with me here at £40.

0:35:240:35:27

£40 I'm bid here, at 40. At 40 I'm bid here, at £40, 40.

0:35:280:35:32

-At 45, do I see? At £40, I'm bid. 45, 50.

-I can't bear this.

-55, 60.

0:35:320:35:39

65. In the room now at 65. At 65, my bids are out then, at 65.

0:35:390:35:45

Standing at the back at 65.

0:35:450:35:48

Ah!

0:35:480:35:49

-£65.

-That's the Golden Gavel gone.

-Minus 20.

0:35:490:35:53

Can't believe that.

0:35:530:35:55

-Now, here comes the compact.

-And bids on the book open here at £20.

0:35:550:36:00

20 I'm bid for the compact.

0:36:000:36:03

22, 25, 28... 30. 32...

0:36:030:36:06

Your turn, internet. In the room, then. At 32, I'm bid at 35.

0:36:080:36:12

38. 40. 42.

0:36:120:36:16

Bid now at 42.

0:36:160:36:17

Still against you, Internet, at £42 I'm bid. I will sell at £42...

0:36:170:36:22

-£42 is minus three.

-I thought you were going to put your hand up!

0:36:240:36:27

Minus 23.

0:36:270:36:30

-Now, here comes your music box.

-And bidding opens here at £20.

0:36:300:36:35

Yes!

0:36:350:36:36

£20 I'm bid, at 20.

0:36:360:36:38

£20, I can't believe it myself. At £20, I'm bid here at 20.

0:36:400:36:43

At 20 bid on the book, and it will be sold... Away at £20.

0:36:430:36:48

-Oh!

-Well! Shed art!

0:36:480:36:52

There we go! Never be snarky.

0:36:520:36:54

Here we go - plus twelve on that. I love it.

0:36:540:36:57

So overall, you're minus eleven.

0:36:570:36:59

What are you going to do? Will you go for the art deco figure?

0:36:590:37:02

-You love it, you want it...

-We may as well.

-Go for it. Go on.

0:37:020:37:07

-Is that a decision?

-Yes.

-OK, we're going with it.

0:37:070:37:10

Now you've made your decision,

0:37:100:37:12

I can tell you the auctioneer's estimate is £100-£150.

0:37:120:37:15

You paid 110, Anita.

0:37:150:37:17

This is exciting, here it comes.

0:37:170:37:19

The figure of a lady, on that black marble navette-shaped base.

0:37:190:37:23

-10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110.

-Yes!

0:37:230:37:29

110 I'm bid now, at 110.

0:37:290:37:31

PETE: That's nice!

0:37:310:37:32

At £110 I'm bid, at 110. 120, 130.

0:37:320:37:36

Yes.

0:37:360:37:37

Your turn, it's 130 there. 130. 140.

0:37:370:37:41

-150.

-140, 150... Look at this!

0:37:410:37:44

-Clever woman, Anita Manning!

-Telephone, what about you? £150.

0:37:440:37:49

-160, new bidding.

-Yes!

-You're both out then, at 160 I'm bid on my left.

0:37:510:37:58

The telephone wins.

0:37:580:37:59

Away at £160...

0:37:590:38:02

-Yes!

-Well done, Anita!

-£160.

0:38:020:38:05

-Thank you so much!

-That is plus £50.

0:38:050:38:07

-Smashing job.

-Chuffed as monkeys!

0:38:070:38:09

-You didn't want to go with it!

-I did in the end, though!

0:38:090:38:12

Listened to the boss, didn't he?

0:38:120:38:14

So you are overall plus £39. That's no mucking about.

0:38:140:38:17

That's a proper score.

0:38:170:38:20

You were well and truly out of it until you got to that little kist,

0:38:200:38:23

anyway, there we go.

0:38:230:38:25

-Lovely. Plus 39. Don't tell the Blues a thing.

-Not at all.

-No way!

0:38:250:38:28

-So, girls - excited?

-Very!

-Do you know how the Reds got on?

0:38:370:38:41

-We don't.

-Right. First up is a bit of brass. Here it comes.

0:38:410:38:45

The arts and crafts brass chamber stick with die-stamped decoration.

0:38:450:38:49

£20, opening bid. £20 I'm bid for the chamber stick.

0:38:490:38:54

At 20 bid now, 20.

0:38:540:38:56

22, 25... 25 I'm bid now, at 25.

0:38:560:38:59

At 25, here to be sold at 25.

0:38:590:39:03

My bid at 25, on the book here and selling...

0:39:030:39:05

Make no mistake, ladies and gentlemen. 28 - new bidding at 28.

0:39:050:39:09

At 28, bid at 28. Away at 28.

0:39:090:39:14

-Oh, dear, £28.

-I'm so disappointed.

0:39:140:39:17

That's minus £9.

0:39:170:39:20

-Nine. Not too bad.

-Now, here comes the bunker.

0:39:200:39:24

"Tommie's dugout, somewhere in France."

0:39:240:39:27

And £5 only bid here, at five. 8, 10, 12, 15, 18...

0:39:280:39:33

£18 I'm bid. 20. Are you bidding?

0:39:350:39:38

22. You're out now, it's 22 there.

0:39:380:39:42

-At 22, 25? 25. 28?

-28 on the internet.

0:39:420:39:45

Are you both out in the room?

0:39:450:39:47

The internet is in at 28, I'm bid at 28.

0:39:470:39:50

Bit more, bit more!

0:39:500:39:51

-Selling away at £28...

-£28.

0:39:510:39:55

-£28 is minus £4, which means you're minus £13.

-Oh!

0:39:550:40:00

-David, it's all on the shoe!

-This is the million-dollar question!

0:40:000:40:04

Come on, Hannah - be brave here, girl. Grip hard.

0:40:040:40:07

Bidding on my book starts at 35,

0:40:070:40:09

45, 55, 65, 75, 80...five, 90.

0:40:090:40:16

-90 bid now, at 90.

-Come on!

-Five. New bidding.

0:40:170:40:21

95, I'm bid at 95.

0:40:210:40:23

You're all out over here. £95, I'm bid at 95.

0:40:230:40:27

Selling away at £95. 100.

0:40:270:40:31

-100. He's come back again.

-Your turn now, internet. It's 100 in the room.

0:40:310:40:35

At 100 I'm bid. Fair warning, internet.

0:40:350:40:38

It's against you, selling away for £100.

0:40:380:40:41

£100, it's minus 35.

0:40:420:40:44

35, 45, 48. Minus 48. OK?

0:40:440:40:48

-Are you going with the soap container?

-Well, I want to.

0:40:480:40:51

We'll go with it. Mum wants to go with it.

0:40:510:40:53

-Is it going to make a profit, David?

-I can't tell at this stage.

0:40:530:40:56

-Shall we go for it?

-On what we just sold...

-Yes.

0:40:560:40:59

-But David doesn't think so.

-No, we won't, then.

0:40:590:41:03

So the decision is we're not going with it, but we're going to sell it

0:41:030:41:06

anyway, just for the fun of seeing what it brings, and here it comes.

0:41:060:41:09

William Cummings...

0:41:090:41:10

Bidding opens with me here at 35,

0:41:100:41:12

45, 50, 5, 60, 5, 70...

0:41:120:41:16

..5, 80, 90, 100. 110.

0:41:180:41:22

110 now, all my bids are out.

0:41:240:41:28

We're in the room now. At £110...

0:41:280:41:30

Uh-oh! £110 would have been plus £14.

0:41:300:41:35

But as it is, we remain at minus 48.

0:41:350:41:39

-That's not that bad.

-Anyway, minus £48 could be a winning score,

0:41:390:41:44

so don't say a word to the Reds, all right?

0:41:440:41:46

-Everybody happy?

-ALL: Yes!

-You bet your life we are!

0:41:510:41:54

Well, we've had a great show, haven't we?

0:41:540:41:56

-Any idea who's ahead or behind? Been chatting?

-ALL: No!

-Suspicious!

0:41:560:42:01

-Very!

-Well, I have to say there is a chasm between our two teams today.

0:42:010:42:05

As we don't have losers any more,

0:42:050:42:07

-the runners-up most definitely are the Blues.

-ALL: Aaah!

0:42:070:42:10

I mean, it just wasn't your day, was it?

0:42:100:42:13

That shoe pincushion thing I maintain to my dying day

0:42:130:42:17

was a splendid object. You shouldn't be minus 35 for that.

0:42:170:42:20

-But you had a good time?

-It's been lovely.

-Thank you very much.

0:42:200:42:23

You've been a great mother-and-daughter combo,

0:42:230:42:26

we've loved having you, but the victors today,

0:42:260:42:28

who are going home with cash - with £39!

0:42:280:42:31

-APPLAUSE

-Look at Fran's face here!

0:42:310:42:34

-She hasn't been so pleased in years, have you, darling?

-No!

0:42:340:42:39

-I've got coins coming out here!

-One more, Tim - come on!

0:42:390:42:42

No finish, I tell you. Brilliant.

0:42:420:42:44

But of course your bacon was nearly entirely saved

0:42:440:42:48

by the great Anita Manning's deco figure.

0:42:480:42:51

Without that, you would have been well and truly up a gum tree.

0:42:510:42:54

-Well done, Anita, for that.

-Thanks, Anita.

-You've had a good day?

0:42:540:42:57

-I've a fantastic day.

-Excellent.

-Very nice to see you, Pete. Very good.

0:42:570:43:01

-In fact, it's been such fun, join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?

-ALL: Yes!
