0:00:02 > 0:00:05Herefordshire is famed for its beef production.
0:00:05 > 0:00:10Cows were driven to London through the streets of Leominster.
0:00:10 > 0:00:18The big question is will there be a stampede through the antiques arcades today?
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Ha! Let's go bargain hunting.
0:00:44 > 0:00:51Since medieval times, folk have flocked to Leominster on account of its good quality wool.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56So will our teams today be able to spin a profit over at the auction
0:00:56 > 0:00:59or simply be completely stitched up?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Today, our Reds go off like a loose cannon.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08He's a fireman - always impressed with things that go bang.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13And our Brummie Blue team finds out there's a high price for spice.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18- 35.- Do you know, I wish it was! It's 135.
0:01:23 > 0:01:30The Blue and the Red teams each get £300 and an hour to shop for three items which they sell at auction.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35The team wins that makes the biggest profit or the smallest loss.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Let's meet the teams on today's show.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45Today it's boys versus girls. For the Reds, John and Ken, who are mates,
0:01:45 > 0:01:50and for the Blues, mother and daughter, Veda and Tara. Hello, everybody.
0:01:50 > 0:01:57- Lovely to see you. Now, John, you'll keep us on the straight and narrow. You're a retired copper.- Correct.
0:01:57 > 0:02:03- Tell us about it. - 30 years in the Merseyside force. Did the last 20 years in the CID.
0:02:03 > 0:02:09- Did you?- A stint in the regional crime squad.- Did you have a good time?- I thoroughly enjoyed it.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- How did you meet then, Ken? - We moved in next door to each other
0:02:13 > 0:02:17and we immediately bonded, being a fireman and a policeman.
0:02:17 > 0:02:24- Ah! - And then I got this crazy idea to build a boat.
0:02:24 > 0:02:31And the boat came in a flat pack. If you imagine trying to build a curved boat from a flat pack,
0:02:31 > 0:02:37not easy. So John helped me with the plans, but he had them upside down for the first two days,
0:02:37 > 0:02:42so we struggled a bit. Once we got it together, we'd lots of pleasurable sailing.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46You were both in the emergency services. You'll have a plan.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- Buy low, sell high. - Is that it?- Hopefully.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56- Are you going to sell all your cash? - We'll see what's there, I think.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Do you know anything about antiques between the two of you?- No.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05- You could write it on the back of a postage stamp.- You'll do very well.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Anyway, moving on then. You girls, how are you?
0:03:08 > 0:03:13- Fine.- Fine.- Good.- Fit. - That's cos you eat so well, right?
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Yes!- Because you run a restaurant?- Yes.
0:03:17 > 0:03:23- Tell us about your restaurant. - Well, our restaurant is in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- It's an Afro-Caribbean restaurant. - Right.
0:03:27 > 0:03:33- We do all the authentic food. - Mm-hm.- Very high in flavour.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Spicy!- Spicy!
0:03:35 > 0:03:41- I've been cooking since I was nine. I'm still cooking now - I'm 72! - Are you really?
0:03:41 > 0:03:47- I tell you, this girl is red hot. Now, Tara, you also work in mum's restaurant.- Yes.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53- Do you do the cooking, too? - Some of it.- Tell us about your Caribbean fish and chips.
0:03:53 > 0:03:59- That sounds delicious. - Because some people haven't tried Caribbean food before,
0:03:59 > 0:04:03we try to create dishes that people are familiar with.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07One of our most popular dishes is Caribbean fish and chips.
0:04:07 > 0:04:13We just use a Caribbean salted cod and then sweet potato chips.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- So you get the contrast of flavours that way.- That's it.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21What's your plan today for lashing these great big Red men?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Oh, well, we've got to beat them, haven't we?
0:04:25 > 0:04:30You're going to eat them?! I think that's going a bit strong!
0:04:30 > 0:04:35- We've got to win them as well. - Oh, beat them! I thought you said eat them!
0:04:36 > 0:04:41What with you being a cook and all, I thought you were going to fry them up!
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Anyway, very, very good luck. I think we'll have tremendous fun.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Now £300 apiece. There we go.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Take your money. You know the rules, your experts await. Off you go!
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Very, very, very good luck!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Jerk firemen, eh?
0:05:00 > 0:05:06Ready to mow down the opposition and allow her Reds to blossom is the smiley Claire Rawle.
0:05:06 > 0:05:13While, for the Blues, proving he can have his cake and eat it, is the canny Paul Laidlaw.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16What are you keen on looking for?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Just something we really fancy.
0:05:18 > 0:05:25Are we a partnership today? Are we equals? Or is daughter in charge? Is mum in charge?
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- BOTH: She's in charge! - Oh, you're both in charge!
0:05:29 > 0:05:34- Guys, let's go and see what we can find in there.- OK.- On we go.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38On that basis, I think we'll go for it!
0:05:38 > 0:05:42What do you think about this? That's different.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47- A little folding cake stand. - What sort of age would that be?
0:05:47 > 0:05:52That's going to be sort of 1920s, '30s. A time when people had tea.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55But that's come back into fashion.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Remember, anything you like at all. Let's have the conversation.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Claire, what do you think of that? - Oh, right.
0:06:02 > 0:06:08That's a good shape, isn't it? You've got the little set with the sugar and milk jug.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13- Is this just...?- Just the same. It's more for the style, isn't it?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15It is, yeah.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17It's quite retro looking.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20But it's not teatime already, is it?
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Are you looking at that? Lovely, that size.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29- Yes.- Ordinarily, I would say keep well away from a copper kettle, it's yesterday's news.
0:06:29 > 0:06:36But this is one of those typical antiques. The copper kettle sitting on the dresser.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40We look for cues, clues as to how old they are.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45Construction is our route in. Look at this. What do you see there?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Well...
0:06:48 > 0:06:53- The age of it.- Yeah.- That little button tells you it's quite old.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Also, can you see a little brass dovetail.- Yeah.
0:06:57 > 0:07:04The craftsmanship. That man started with a sheet and he didn't beat it into that form.
0:07:04 > 0:07:11He wrapped it round and he made a dovetail joint and he brazed that with molten brass. The workmanship!
0:07:11 > 0:07:17Now why it's that size, I think we've got to assume it's a toy, isn't it?
0:07:17 > 0:07:23- That would look nice on the fire grate. - Do you think £28 is a bit...?
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- It's a bit steepish.- I'm mean! I think everything's steep. That's a given, ladies.
0:07:28 > 0:07:34If I was asked to sell that, I'd say that was worth £30-£40 at auction.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39- Really?- Yeah. That's a great starting point. What do I think we could buy it for?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- 19-ish.- I'm with you.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47- That south of 20. Totally with you!- 19-ish, yeah.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Tara, you're looking unsure.
0:07:49 > 0:07:55- I don't know. - You see, this isn't her thing. She likes...newer things.
0:07:55 > 0:08:01- Ah! Well, that's good. But is there give and take? Can we work together?- Yeah.
0:08:01 > 0:08:08- I'm loving it.- I think it's gorgeous.- See if it was full size, I'd walk past it.- I'm not seeing it.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- So shall we have a go?- Go on, then.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16- You can't see the beauty of it, can you?- No.- But it is.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21It's the workmanship you're looking at. The time spent on it.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25We're interested in buying this. What's the best...?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- I could do that for 20. - Mmm.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Yeah, I think 20 is a bit steepish.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- - We think about 15?- About 15. - - It's unusual.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38What about 18?
0:08:38 > 0:08:4016?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Go on!- 16, then.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45That's gorgeous!
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- Well done!- Lovely. We'll have that, thank you, madam.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54Well done indeed, girls. You don't mess about. One up to the Blues.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Come on, Reds - fingers out!
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- The little cannon there. - Oh, right, OK. Let's look at that.
0:09:01 > 0:09:07It says 1930s on it. Let's have a good look at it. Can't actually see it up there.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09They make nice desk ornaments.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13It's not bad, actually. Bakelite stand. Brass.
0:09:13 > 0:09:19Cannon looks fine. Quite a nice item. 38. Obviously, you'd want it for a bit less.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- We're here to make a profit. - What would that sell for?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27I'd have thought 30-50. Do you feel like negotiating?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31It's good to get your first buy under your belt.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- I prefer that table.- Do you? - The cake table.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- I actually prefer that. - OK, this is good!
0:09:39 > 0:09:45- If I was buying for myself, I wouldn't buy a cake table. - That's more of a man thing.
0:09:45 > 0:09:51- Boy's toys.- He's a fireman. Impressed with things that go bang. - The police like cakes, do they?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54We're more laidback. Tea and cakes.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59Do you feel we're at a stage where you'd like me to find the guy?
0:09:59 > 0:10:05- I think it's worthwhile with that table and this.- We'll have the two together and do some negotiations.
0:10:05 > 0:10:11- Would we be picking too quick? - That's what I'm wondering. - We haven't seen a great deal.
0:10:11 > 0:10:17- But it's worth getting one under your belt.- OK, right. I'll go and find the man we need.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- They're both 38, Ken. - They're both 38?- Yeah.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26It could be one where you turn round and say 25 for each...
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Take them both.- 50 quid for the two. - Yes, I think so.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Right, OK, guys. Here's the man you need to speak to.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39- - I suppose you want it for nothing. - Ideally, yes.- We do.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- We'd like both of them for nothing. - Oh, this one as well.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- If you could do a little joint deal for us.- What's your best price?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- Up or down? - Definitely down.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56- We're thinking a one and a zero. - We have to be practical.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- I'll do 60 for the two. - We were thinking of 50 for both.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- 55, go on. - How about the 50?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- Yeah, go on, then. - What a good man. Thank you.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- That's two down.- Wow.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- Mega-hits. - No messing with us on Merseyside.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Thanks very much.- You supply the cake!- You boys have all guns blazing!
0:11:18 > 0:11:26That's two down and we're only 15 minutes in. Girls, no messing now. You need to stick to the job.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Like a Janus head, isn't it?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- But...- I don't know.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36I think that is resin. Now this one here,
0:11:36 > 0:11:41that little split marries the little rib there.
0:11:41 > 0:11:47That tells me it's malacca cane, not bamboo, not carved wood. Malacca cane.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51And it's been ebonised. But, yeah, the damage is bad news.
0:11:51 > 0:11:58And priced at...£45. I'd rather have the £45 than the cane, to be honest with you.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Old biscuit tins.- Oh, right. - Is it a biscuit tin?
0:12:02 > 0:12:07- Yeah, McVitie's small rich tea. Yeah.- They seem quite popular now.
0:12:07 > 0:12:13- It doesn't look like...- That's a paper cover. Is printed on better?
0:12:13 > 0:12:18Well, it is better. Paper being there and being so complete is quite good.
0:12:18 > 0:12:26- It's like it's never been opened. - There's a hole.- Lucky for us, variety is the very spice of life.
0:12:26 > 0:12:33This is what we want to see. It's tin plate, which is tinned steel plate.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36The tinning protects it. Outside, it's black lacquered.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41Inside, you have cracking little boxes. Nicely labelled up.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46If you look, see the S in spice looks like an F.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51Up until about 1800, typeset, the printed word,
0:12:51 > 0:12:57Ss as we know them are actually commonly Fs.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02In its day, I suspect those were quite expensive ingredients. Certainly exotic.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07- Yeah.- Price ticket... There you go. It's actually...- 35.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I wish it was! It's 135.
0:13:11 > 0:13:18Ouch. That would have been great, would it not? For us to buy a wee spice box.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Who needs the box when we've got our very own Spice Girls?
0:13:24 > 0:13:31What have you found? Oh, it's a sandwich box, like the old things from picnic boxes.
0:13:31 > 0:13:37- That says £18. I wonder if that's for the pair.- No, I think £18 each. - Oh, right.- Yeah.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41That's it. Well done. Yeah, put your sandwiches in there.
0:13:41 > 0:13:49- Will that be...?- Glazed pottery. It's about 1950s, '60s, when people did more picnicking.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54It's come back in fashion. You go round in your old Morris 1000 with your picnic.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59- What do you think, Ken? - It's like a policeman's lunchbox.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04Not big enough, Ken! Possibly with the two together.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- Of course, you like the cakes as well.- Cakes, sandwiches, the lot.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- And the big flask for brandy and lemonade.- What are coppers like, eh?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Now, Tara and Veda, time to weigh up your odds, methinks.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- I like that.- Worcester. Yeah, it's a melon, isn't it?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Yeah.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27Yeah. I'd be pitching that at 50-80 at the moment.
0:14:27 > 0:14:34- Conservatively, albeit. And it's priced up at...- 98. - It's not a million miles off it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- No.- It's buyable.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- You like that?- Yeah, the detail. - Is there any faults in it?
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Well, the weak point is the spout and that looks good.
0:14:45 > 0:14:51And the handle. The gilding rubs. Just dusting this over 100 years.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- It's not a hanging offence, but it's not ideal.- Yeah.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00Now there's the mark. A puce Worcester mark.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05Date marks, by my reckoning, counting up those little dots, I think it's 1894.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Now what are they saying?
0:15:08 > 0:15:13- £98.- Circa 1893. So we agree with that. Royal Worcester jug.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Gilt vine leaf. Yours for £98.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Well, shall we ask?- Yeah.
0:15:20 > 0:15:26Tara and Veda, and myself, like the Worcester melon... call it a vase or a jug.
0:15:26 > 0:15:32- Yes, it's nice, isn't it? - Just wondering if there's any slack in the price.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Well, the ticket price is 98.
0:15:34 > 0:15:40- Can we ignore that?- Yeah, exactly. - Well, yes, that's where we're starting from, isn't it?
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Yes, so... 10% would bring us down to 88.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49I daresay we could do a little bit more and we could say £80.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Are we absolutely sure? Is the vendor about?
0:15:54 > 0:15:59I'll see if I can get her on the phone and see if she can do any better for you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:08While Stan the dealer makes that all-important call, girls, see if you can spot something.
0:16:08 > 0:16:14What about that calendar there? It could be quite trendy on a businessman's desk or something.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19I do like selling to businessmen. They've generally got a pound or two to spare!
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Ah, yeah.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26- I can do you a better price on this. - Oh, really?- We can accept £60.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- Oh, good.- What do you think, ladies? Feeling a wee bit better?
0:16:30 > 0:16:3255 would have been better.
0:16:33 > 0:16:39- It's better than the kettle. - Go on.- That's a hesitant yes.
0:16:40 > 0:16:46- Right, we have a deal. - Good work, girls. Item number two in the bag.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48That brings the game back even.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52The Blues and twos are now on.
0:16:52 > 0:16:58Quite a nice little desk stand there, but they've all got to be negotiated down a bit.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- Girls, was that calendar worth a punt?- Right.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07First impression, good silver frame. Nice clear set of hallmarks there.
0:17:07 > 0:17:14Ivorine face. And this could do with a polish, to be quite honest with you, but it's all there.
0:17:14 > 0:17:21But we need it to stand up. Here we go. Let's see if it will stand up.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Do you know what? It works.
0:17:23 > 0:17:30- But is it functional?- I don't know what it was meant to do. I suspect there's meant to be a little pointer
0:17:30 > 0:17:38that we can slide up and down, telling you it's Wednesday today. Move it to Thursday tomorrow.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- But it's not happening. - It's not, but do you know what?
0:17:42 > 0:17:47It doesn't cry out. Look at what you get - very smart silver frame.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Small silver sells.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Look at the price. Hallmarked silver, £45.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59I think that's got mileage in it. Could I sell it for more than that at auction?
0:17:59 > 0:18:04Yeah, I reckon I could. And that's without anything off the price.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08And we've got a lever here. It is damaged.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13- Could we get that for 35? I reckon we could.- I was thinking 25.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- I like your style! I love the way you work!- 25, yeah.
0:18:17 > 0:18:23- Can I challenge you to try to buy it for that?- Yeah, why not? - He can only say no.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25What do you reckon?
0:18:25 > 0:18:30- Bite the bullet? Shall we shout?- Yeah.- Hi!
0:18:30 > 0:18:35- Well, then... - What have you found now?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38This little calendar.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- There is quite a bit of damage going on there. - Yes.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Rightio. I'll see what I can do about this. It's 45.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49We were thinking more like 25.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53I'll see what we can do about an offer for 25.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58Is this supposed to go up and down? It's not that functional, is it?
0:18:58 > 0:19:03- That would affect the price as well. - Yeah, it would.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- I'll see what we can do. Excuse me.- Thanks.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Like your style. Subtle.
0:19:09 > 0:19:15Quite menacing, I would say, at times. I wouldn't like to play poker with you!
0:19:15 > 0:19:19So, Stan, we'd better hope the owner's in a good mood.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25- Is it good news? - It's good news. Good news.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27We can have it for £20?
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Good news on the calendar.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32£25.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Do we have a date?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Yeah!- Yeah, that's good.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Not only did you pull off a deal, but a date as well.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Not bad going, girls. That's you done.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50OK, boys, you'd better detect something quickly as you've only got a few minutes left
0:19:50 > 0:19:54and we need to put this case to bed.
0:19:54 > 0:20:00- Ken, what do you reckon to that? Do you like it?- It's different. - Do you think it's nice?
0:20:00 > 0:20:05- Is that silver top?- I can't find a hallmark, but it looks silver.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09I can't see any plate rubbing through. It's in nice order as well.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14- The top isn't damaged, the glass looks OK.- It closes.- Yeah.
0:20:14 > 0:20:21- What would you use it for? - Probably decorative.- It's an old inkwell.- Exactly. Put pens in there.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- It's a decorative item that people still buy.- What sort of date?
0:20:25 > 0:20:30Late Victorian. Papier mache was very popular in those days.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35Some items weren't always hallmarked if they were small and light.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- It's in nice order. - Shall I speak to him?
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Yeah, we've got five minutes. You hang on to that, Ken.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46I'll find the guy.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51Right, this is the man you need to speak to. Ken and John, here we are.
0:20:51 > 0:20:57- We haven't got much time. Five minutes.- Nigel, we need a really good price.- Right.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01You have to be really kind to us. How about £30?
0:21:01 > 0:21:07Oh, no, no. That's 65. The best I can go is 60, unless I make a phone call.
0:21:07 > 0:21:13- We won't make a profit at that price.- Right.- So you've got to give us a good price and be very kind.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18- Let him make a phone call. - I'll come back to you with the best.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Thanks very much.- See you in a moment. Time's ticking away.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27It is a pretty item. If you can get near 50, you'll be doing well.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32It's not my bag, but with two minutes to go, you'd better get negotiating and fast.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Great. Here he is. Brilliant.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38I've managed to speak to the dealer.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43- The very best that she would go to is 45. No lower.- The deal is done.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45£45, thanks very much.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49That was a tough nut to crack, but all in the line of duty, eh?
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Time's up. Will they make a profit today?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Well, pigs might fly!
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Let's check out what the Red Team bought.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Ken took a shot in the dark with this Bakelite desk cannon
0:22:03 > 0:22:05and got it for £25.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Meanwhile, John's sweet tooth led him
0:22:09 > 0:22:11to this mahogany folding cake stand.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Another £25 for the privilege.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21In the final moments, they rested on this Victorian desk stand and bottle
0:22:21 > 0:22:23and nabbed it for £45.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30- Pleased with what you got? - Yeah, we got a good mixture. - They're happy at the moment, Claire.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- You spent a pretty miserable amount, didn't you?- I thought we were quite extravagant, really.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- We just got some good bargains.- Yes.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40And you spent in total...?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- £95.- £95, it was.
0:22:42 > 0:22:48- I don't know why we bother giving them 300. Anyway, who's got £205 of leftover lolly?- I have.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53- It's about to be clutched in my hand. There you go.- All 205, I trust you.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55We won't count it. Over it goes to Rawle.
0:22:55 > 0:23:01- Any idea what you'll spend it on, Claire?- I've got a few ideas, but I'm going to keep that under my hat.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06- Very enigmatic.- Didn't you say a diamond ring for yourself would be nice?- Ssh!
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- Hey!- You're not supposed to tell him that.- You have bonded up.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Enough of that. Why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Straight away, Veda fell for this miniature copper kettle
0:23:18 > 0:23:21and managed to get it for a petite £16.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Then this Royal Worcester jug caught their eye
0:23:24 > 0:23:28and they thought there was a profit in it at £60.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32And finally, they brought their shopping to a close
0:23:32 > 0:23:35with this silver calendar for £25.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Three good things bought, I think. - Mm-hm.- Yeah.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45- Well, well, well! Was that as much fun as it looked? - Yeah.- Was it good?- Yeah.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- How much did you spend all round? - 101.- 101.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Did you? Not a lot of money. 199 of leftover lolly I would like.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- Thank you very much. Which goes straight over to the wily Scot. - Thank you, Tim.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03Who has no doubt made his mark on something he's going to go back now and hoover up
0:24:03 > 0:24:05to make a huge profit, we hope.
0:24:05 > 0:24:11Good luck, girls. Go and have a nice cup of tea. Meanwhile, we're shoving off to Kent.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14We're going to Down House, Charles Darwin and all that.
0:24:14 > 0:24:20It may come as a surprise that revolutionary scientific theories were evolved
0:24:20 > 0:24:25in this rather modest family house in the Kent village of Down
0:24:25 > 0:24:29by a man who came to be regarded as one of the greatest scientists of all time.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31That man was Charles Darwin.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36Born into a privileged family early in the 19th century,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38it would be reasonable to assume
0:24:38 > 0:24:45that he was the typical, authoritative, stern Victorian person,
0:24:45 > 0:24:50but actually, when you visit his home here at Down House where he lived for 40 years,
0:24:50 > 0:24:56we find evidence that he was a warm, sensitive family man.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01Interestingly, the Darwin family were closely intertwined
0:25:01 > 0:25:03with another very well-known family.
0:25:03 > 0:25:09And the clue as to who that well-known family is
0:25:09 > 0:25:12is all around us here on the dining table.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17Pick up the soup bowl, look on the back side and it says "Wedgwood".
0:25:17 > 0:25:22Charles Darwin's grandfather was none other than Josiah Wedgwood himself.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25The link began with two friends -
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Erasmus Darwin, one of the foremost physicians of his time,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31and Josiah Wedgwood.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36Erasmus Darwin's youngest son Robert and Josiah Wedgwood's daughter Susannah married
0:25:36 > 0:25:39which resulted in Darwin's birth.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43A generation later, relations got even more entwined
0:25:43 > 0:25:49when Charles fell in love with and married his first cousin Emma Wedgwood.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Darwin's mother, whose maiden name was Susannah Wedgwood,
0:25:53 > 0:25:59commissioned this entire water lily pattern dinner service
0:25:59 > 0:26:03from her brother, Josiah Wedgwood II.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06It was only made for a short period of time
0:26:06 > 0:26:10with this interesting underglazed pattern.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16And it was made between about 1808 and 1811.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22So, the Wedgwoods and the Darwins are forever linked.
0:26:22 > 0:26:29It wasn't particularly unusual in the Victorian period to marry your first cousin,
0:26:29 > 0:26:36but Darwin did wonder whether his children's continued ill health was connected with this.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Indeed, three of his children died young,
0:26:39 > 0:26:45two in infancy and his eldest daughter Annie when she was ten years old.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Perhaps that encouraged Darwin
0:26:49 > 0:26:53in his interest in health and well-being.
0:26:53 > 0:26:59In this, his study, which is well endowed with objects reflecting his scientific interests,
0:26:59 > 0:27:04there is a domestic scientific instrument, so as to speak.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09It's a weighing machine and with it comes the weighing book,
0:27:09 > 0:27:14a ledger which was started by his father, and if we look at these pages,
0:27:14 > 0:27:21we can see they're crammed with entries between 1842 and 1847.
0:27:21 > 0:27:28It would appear that various children and visitors to the house all reported in to Darwin
0:27:28 > 0:27:32to have their weights recorded and sometimes their height.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35What is certain, though,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38is that Charles Darwin was a devoted family man.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Indeed, even now, you can almost hear the children playing
0:27:43 > 0:27:46in the corridor outside his study.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53And it's no wonder there was a tremendous clatter and racket
0:27:53 > 0:27:57going on with the children out here in the back passage
0:27:57 > 0:28:01because Charles Darwin, in 1857,
0:28:01 > 0:28:06had the local carpenter John Lewis knock up this thing.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Simply made out of a few planks, it is a stair slide.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15And depending on how brave you were as a child,
0:28:15 > 0:28:20you'd set it up either with the steepest gradient like this
0:28:20 > 0:28:25or by moving it forward and down a block or two, you could make it rather shallower
0:28:25 > 0:28:29because if you were a nipper, it would be such fun,
0:28:29 > 0:28:34the only problem being you might get a bit of a sore bottom.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39The big question today is, of course, over at the auction,
0:28:39 > 0:28:43just how sore are our teams' bottoms about to become?
0:28:48 > 0:28:54Well, here we sit in Halls Saleroom in Shrewsbury as happy as can be with Jeremy Lamond.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- Jeremy, lovely to see you. - Welcome, Tim.- Thank you very much.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02The Red Team have got their first shot in with this cannon.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Well, it should go with a bang.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- Brand-new, isn't it? - It doesn't look very old from here.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- How much, do you think? - It should make £20 or £30.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Fine. £25 paid.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Next is the folding cake stand. That is perfectly genuine.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21- How much is it worth?- £20, £30. - Really? £25 paid.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26- Moving on, it's the papier-mache inkwell.- It's not good, is it?- No.
0:29:26 > 0:29:32- It's transfer-printed round the edge, it's chipped and has the wrong glass in it.- 10 to 15.- £45 paid.
0:29:32 > 0:29:38I fancy this will be their black hole and it will depend on this as to whether they need the bonus buy,
0:29:38 > 0:29:40so let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:40 > 0:29:46Now, John and Ken, last of the big spenders(!) £95 you spent.
0:29:46 > 0:29:52Dear, oh dear! £205 went to Claire Rawle. Claire, what did you spend it on?
0:29:52 > 0:29:54I didn't spend it all, I'm afraid.
0:29:54 > 0:30:00I know you mentioned diamond rings, but this is something else I thought would appeal to you. Ta-da!
0:30:00 > 0:30:04- It's a little silver brooch.- Yes. - Chester hallmark, 1947.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- I like Chester silver.- Yeah.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10I paid £20 for it which I thought was a good buy.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14I would like to see that make nearer £50. It's not a huge profit.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18If you can double your money and get more, who cares? That's perfect.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23Let's find out, for the audience at home, what the auctioneer thinks about Claire's brooch.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Well, J, there we go. Pretty lightweight, I'm afraid.
0:30:27 > 0:30:32Yeah. At first sight, this looks like an Art Nouveau brooch,
0:30:32 > 0:30:341905 sort of period,
0:30:34 > 0:30:40but really, this is unusual in that it's a 1940s revival of Art Nouveau.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44This is by a chap called Paul Gutfreund
0:30:44 > 0:30:49who was based in Kendal in 1947 and this is one of his.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Gosh! What would it be worth then?
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- 30 to 50, we think. - That's very friendly.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59£20 paid by the Claire Rawle. Clever old Claire!
0:30:59 > 0:31:03- Good.- That's it. It depends on whether they take it or not.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues. We've got the copper kettle.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12- Battered, isn't it?- You see lots of reproductions, but the good news about this is it's all right.
0:31:12 > 0:31:17But the bad news is that nobody really likes the polished copper.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- So, £20 or £30.- OK, £16 paid.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25- The Royal Worcester jug... - On the bottom, it's got a date mark for 1893.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29- Mm-hm.- Shape number 1111.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33It's not the sort of Royal Worcester that the collectors want.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37They want fruit painted, Highland cattle, Stintons, that sort of thing.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42- You're looking at 30 to 50. - OK, £60 paid. That's not a happy position to be in.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46Lastly, it's the hallmarked silver calendar.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51People like these. They're quaint. I tried to change the date and I can't, so it's seized at the back.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- How much?- 30 to 50.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57OK, fair enough. They paid £25, so that's it.
0:31:57 > 0:32:03Overall, not so hot. They'll definitely need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- OK, girls, this is exciting, isn't it?- Mm-hm.- Yes, it sure is.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09£101 is all you spent.
0:32:09 > 0:32:15£199 of leftover lolly you entrusted to your man, our Paul.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18So, Paul, what did you spend £199 on?
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- Oh, yes!- That was a better reaction.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Do we know what it is?
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- For the table...- Yeah.- Salts.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29- Condiments.- What's it made of?
0:32:29 > 0:32:32I'd love to say it was silver. We couldn't afford that.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36I've bought silver plate. The quality is what sold this to me.
0:32:36 > 0:32:42I cannot attribute it. Date-wise, I can tell you it's late 19th century, early 20th century.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46It's 100, 110 years old. I can tell you it's probably French or German.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- I like it.- How much do you think it will make, Paul?
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Well, we'll see.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54I paid £45 for it, OK?
0:32:54 > 0:32:58And I think that's not a bad price. What's it going to make?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00It should make 50 to 70.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05- I think you've done good, Paul. - I'm liking your style.
0:33:05 > 0:33:11Let's find out, for the audience at home, what the auctioneer thinks about Paul's style.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- Well, there you have it.- Yeah.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15A bit of a mixture, isn't it?
0:33:15 > 0:33:19I think looking at the square nature of this stand
0:33:19 > 0:33:22that this had a glass, square section bottle cruet in it.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27- And in here you've now got...- Those circular jobs.- Yeah, salts, really.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Right. How much then?
0:33:30 > 0:33:33- 30 to 50. - OK, £45 paid by Paul Laidlaw.
0:33:33 > 0:33:39We may be in for a rare event here. That's a bonus buy from Paul Laidlaw not making more than he paid for it.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41That would be a first, nearly.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Let's try not to make it a first.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47That's all down to you, old boy. Thank you, Jeremy.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Before we look at our Bargain Hunt items, I spotted a lot
0:33:51 > 0:33:54that might raise a few eyebrows when it goes under the hammer.
0:33:54 > 0:34:00These are handsome, aren't they? The style of these pots is Neoclassical.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04Where did these vases come from? If you turn it upside down,
0:34:04 > 0:34:07there we can see the magic mark
0:34:07 > 0:34:11which is an F for Furstenberg in Germany.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Imagine how excited I was to find them in the auction
0:34:15 > 0:34:17with an estimate of £80 to £120.
0:34:17 > 0:34:23That means that the auction house reckon that they're late 19th or 20th century copies,
0:34:23 > 0:34:28but if somebody picks up the fact that they could be late 18th century,
0:34:28 > 0:34:32then the price in the auction in a minute will be very different.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34How much different?
0:34:34 > 0:34:40Well, they ought to make £1,000. They might make £1,500. Let's wait and see, shall we?
