0:00:03 > 0:00:07Today we're in the east of England showground in Cambridgeshire.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11Normally, these large buildings are teeming with livestock
0:00:11 > 0:00:14on account of the agricultural shows
0:00:14 > 0:00:16that are very often held here.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19But today, it's teeming with antique lovers.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23Let's just hope that the previous occupants have cleaned up the floor after them!
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Ha-ha! Let's go Bargain Hunting! Yeah!
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Rich, fertile soil from the fenlands
0:00:51 > 0:00:54has made this region a big name in arable farming.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57So can our teams grow a profit out of their £300?
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Let's take a gander at how they get on.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07For the reds, there's no place like gnome!
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- He's looking at me!- He is looking at you. He's got "come and buy me" eyes!
0:01:11 > 0:01:15And for the blues, there's plenty to make a mother proud.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Do you know?- Is it to do with being sterile, or something?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Well done, son!
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Ah! That's coming up. But first, let's meet the teams.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29It's a family affair for our two teams today.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33For the reds, we've got mother and daughter Rae and Joanna.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37And for the blues we've got mother Lynne, and son, Ali.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Hello, everyone!- Hello!
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Now, Joanna, you must feel at home, surrounded by all these cameras?
0:01:43 > 0:01:48Yes, I was lucky enough to work for the BBC for ten years.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I worked in the archives at Television Centre in London.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- And you're a happy snapper now, I gather?- Yes.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56I left the BBC when I had a baby
0:01:56 > 0:01:58and I didn't want to go back full-time
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- so I started my own business and I'm now a wedding photographer.- Oh?
0:02:01 > 0:02:07- How fun is that?- It's really fun. I spend most weekends in beautiful surroundings
0:02:07 > 0:02:08with very happy people!
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Have you had any amazing encounters with your clients?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Have terrible things happened ever?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Yeah, there was one wedding once
0:02:17 > 0:02:21where the father of the bride tried to get everyone's attention for the speeches.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24He picked up a bottle of wine to ding it like this,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- and smashed the bottle of red wine all over the bride's dress!- Oh, no!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30And I got a great shot of it!
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Now, Rae, you're quite a high-flyer, I gather.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Yes. I was in the Women's Royal Air Force.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40I joined to see the world and ended up in Aden!
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Were you in Signals, then? - Yes, I was in telecommunications.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46But you've been back to school recently.
0:02:46 > 0:02:53Yes, I retired at 60 and went off and took my Art Foundation course.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55What's your favourite painting that you've created so far?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59I've done a lovely mystic one about Concorde
0:02:59 > 0:03:02because I worked with Concorde at RAF Fairford.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05The Lady. The Lady. That's what we called it, The Lady.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07How sweet. So it features in your favourite picture.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Yes.- Quite rightly so.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13So, what will you ladies be looking out for today?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- What do you think?- We're looking out for Concorde things.- Are you?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Sort of antiques of the future.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- They're very collectable objects, actually.- If you see them!
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- All I can say is best of luck. - Thank you.- Great.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Now, Lynne, what do you get up to when you're not Bargain Hunting?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- I'm a nurse. A practice nurse. - Are you?- Yes.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- How long have you been a nurse?- 40 years, Tim.- Gosh, that's something!
0:03:35 > 0:03:40- I hear there's some wedding bells about to be chiming in your department soon?- Yes!
0:03:40 > 0:03:44After courting for 11 years, we're getting married in May.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Lovely.- And then four weeks' later, Ali's younger brother gets married.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Gosh.- So it's all go.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53And in between, I'm studying for a diploma in asthma.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Pretty quiet, otherwise, really!
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Ali, it says here you're an incredible follower of fashion.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05You could say that. I work for Britain's oldest men's clothing company at the moment.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08And I've started up my own clothing label
0:04:08 > 0:04:13which is music and street-wear orientated for a younger audience.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- How fantastic is that? That's wonderful.- Thanks.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Ali, I also gather you have something to do with team sports.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Yes. I've hung my boots and gloves up now, but I use to play semi-professional for my home town,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27King's Lynn. Mum used to enjoy coming to watch me play
0:04:27 > 0:04:33until one time, we reached a cup final and I was playing in goal for King's Lynn
0:04:33 > 0:04:36and in the opposite goal was my brother!
0:04:36 > 0:04:42- Oh, no!- Yes. So Mum was half cheering and half commiserating! - Quite.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45His team won and his brother wouldn't take him home, unfortunately!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Oh. Have you patched it up since?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Yeah, we have. He gets married as well this year, and I'm best man for the wedding, which is nice.
0:04:52 > 0:04:58- For both weddings?- No, I'm giving mum away.- Giving her away. Very nice.- Finally!
0:05:00 > 0:05:04He and his brother are very keen to give me away, Tim, for some reason!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I think you'll be a great team. Good luck today.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Meanwhile, here comes some dough.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10£300 apiece. There's your £300.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go! Very, very good luck!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Gosh! All this activity, eh?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Let's say hello to today's experts.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24She won't give up antiques for all the tea in China!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26It's Catherine Southon for the reds.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29And for the blues, aye-aye!
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Who's this? It's Thomas Plant.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35And they're off!
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Ladies, this is all very exciting, isn't it?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42What are you going to buy today?
0:05:42 > 0:05:46I'd like something to do with the RAF, Concorde, preferably.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Something aeronautical.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Guys, are you excited?- Yes. - Definitely.- Brilliant.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- I hear you're a nurse.- I am.- Will you nurse us towards a profit?
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Absolutely!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Ali, what will you be doing?- I have a keen interest in sports
0:05:58 > 0:06:00so hopefully sports memorabilia.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- Sports related?- Yes.- Let's start, there for a kick-off!
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- So we know what we want.- Yes. And we know what we don't want!- Right! What's that?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10We don't want bon-bon dishes!
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- OK. No bon-bon dishes. - No bon-bon dishes!- Off we go.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20Already for the reds, ex RAF servicewoman Rae and her daughter Joanna
0:06:20 > 0:06:22are off to a flying start.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25They've honed in on an air raid relic from World War II.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Excuse me, can you help us with this?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Give us a little bit of information?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35This is an air raid precautions badge
0:06:35 > 0:06:37which the air wardens were given at the time.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40They were given out in 1938 to 1939
0:06:40 > 0:06:43and they all have a silver stamp on the back, as well.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45What's the stamp? I didn't see it.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I'd be surprised if it was silver.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- They are, normally.- Really?- Oh, yes.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54No, I can't see any marking at all, I'm afraid.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58They normally were. They were normally silver.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00What do you think, Catherine?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04We'd have to catalogue it. We'd have to say at the auction that it's white metal.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Because it doesn't have the silver marking.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- If it had a silver hallmark, an English hallmark...- Should we leave it, then?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13..then we could say categorically that it's silver.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I think we should leave it, Mum.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Over on the blue team, ex-goalie Ali
0:07:18 > 0:07:20has made a dive for some soccer memorabilia.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23These are league colours.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25These are larger silks.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27You would have got them through cigarettes.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- So they would be like the cards you used to get? Cigarette cards. - Yeah.- Except silks.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Silks, yeah.- So they're collectables?
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Yeah. Absolutely. You would collect them in the 1920s, 1930s.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- They're £15 each or 70 for the lot. - Right.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Do you like them?- I like the look of them, yeah.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- It's something that interests me. - Why does it interest you?
0:07:45 > 0:07:50- I've got a bit of a footballing background. I played semi-professional.- Did you?- Yeah.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Your dream...- I still follow it a lot, though.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Who do you support?- Celtic.- Celtic.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- My background, Thomas!- OK.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Ah. Like mother, like son.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- I think we can...- Think about that one?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- I think so. Because they are... That's quite a lot of money.- It is.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I would personally think that's too much.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Where we're going, I don't know if they'll realise that.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Good idea, blues.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15You don't want to score an own goal this early on.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17But what are the reds gassing on about?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22If there was a gas attack, the first thing the warden must do
0:08:22 > 0:08:24would be to put his gas mask on
0:08:24 > 0:08:27so he didn't inhale... So he couldn't then blow his whistle.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- He had an ARP whistle. So he would then...- ..get the rattle.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33That's rattled you, Catherine!
0:08:33 > 0:08:38Then he'd blow his whistle at the end when it was all clear.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39When it was all clear. OK.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- How much is this one?- 38.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- What do you think?- What do you think for the two?
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- For the hat and the rattler. - To have together as one lot?
0:08:49 > 0:08:50He said it's a matching item.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53What could you do for the two?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Bearing in mind that we haven't got a silver mark.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59£40 for the two.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- What do you think, Catherine? Shall we do that?- Maybe 35?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- No.- Just for the red team? - I can't do that.- No?
0:09:06 > 0:09:11- 40 is my...- On the day. - A snowy weather price!
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Yes, this is one dealer who's playing it cool!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I think this is quite nice because it's got the stamp on it.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19They complement one another.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Yeah, let's go for it.- Yeah?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Decision made.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- What did we say? £40?- £40. - It's a deal.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Yes, that's good.- Shake.- Good luck with that.- Thank you.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33What a nice man. Well done, reds.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35And only ten minutes in.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38No danger of you running out of time.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Something's got our nurse Lynne's temperature rising.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Look!
0:09:44 > 0:09:45A nurse's buckle.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47The nurse's buckle, right.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Ooh, matron!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52This is a lovely nurse's buckle.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53- Beautiful.- A pierced design.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57It bears hallmarks. Sheffield 1903.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Why are nurse's buckles in silver?
0:10:00 > 0:10:06I've no idea. That's a really good question. I wish I had an answer, but I've no idea.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- No idea? Do you know?- Is it to do with being sterile, or something?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Ah, well done, son!
0:10:11 > 0:10:12That's my boy, eh!
0:10:12 > 0:10:15And you're supposed to be the expert nurse, Lynne.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19They're replacing quite a bit of hospital equipment in silver plate.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Because it doesn't take infection.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Beautiful. What do you think of the price?
0:10:24 > 0:10:28It's quite a lot of money, £130, if you want my honest opinion.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Yes.- And I would rather it was a bit less.- Yes.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- So how much can this be? - I can do it for £100.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37And if I sort of squeezed you a little bit more?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40A tight squeeze would be 95.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41A very tight squeeze!
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- That's it, is it?- I'm afraid so.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Hmm.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Lynne, what do you think?- I think it's lovely. I'm not sure about the price,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51but it's beautiful quality.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Good call, blues. You didn't buckle under the pressure to buy.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Meanwhile, the reds are looking at something rather dishy.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03I really like this. It's the sort of thing I'd have in my house.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- You could put jewellery in it. Trinkets.- Sweets! Bon-bon dishes!
0:11:08 > 0:11:11It's not quite a bon-bon dish, though.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13What do you think, Catherine, about the price?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I think it's actually, well, it is Whitefriars.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Well, they say it's Whitefriars.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20We'd have to check the design of it.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Hmm. Whitefriars. A pedigree English glassmaker
0:11:25 > 0:11:27that's highly, highly collectable.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30I think it's quite nice, and it is a good chunky piece.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34But I don't... I think £30, to be honest, is quite high.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- I would want to buy that for about ten to £15.- Really?
0:11:37 > 0:11:42- I don't think the stallholder's around at the moment. Shall we consider it?- Yes.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Cos we do like it.- Yeah.- And come back and have a word with the stallholder.- Yep.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47We'll keep it in mind.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- That's a good idea.- Let's go. Carry on.- Keep going.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53That's right. Move on, reds.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56But the blues haven't moved on from their last stall yet.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00So this is a guilloche enamel.
0:12:00 > 0:12:06- Yes?- A guilloche enamel is enamel which you can see through, a translucent enamel.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10And through it you can see an engine turning design underneath the enamel.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- See it?- I can see it on the yellow.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Really nice.- Look at the light reflecting off this.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18A beautiful cut. It's little traffic lights!
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Norwegian silver. They are like little traffic lights, aren't they?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Beep-beep! That's why you haven't moved on!
0:12:24 > 0:12:27We've got them round the wrong way, but there you are.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- Little traffic lights!- With my driving, that's the right way!
0:12:31 > 0:12:36£45 each. Norwegian silver and enamel pepperettes.
0:12:36 > 0:12:42- I would say no point buying just one.- No.- You buy the lot, I'd suggest.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Quite attractive.- Yes.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- Personally, that or the nurse's buckle, I think these are more of a goer.- Yes.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54- I'll leave you to negotiate. - I could do all three for 100.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Ooh, that was very close to my figure.- Yeah.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I thought it was less than your figure!
0:12:58 > 0:13:00No, it wasn't actually!
0:13:00 > 0:13:03No. £100 was what I was expecting.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06I was going to offer 80.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I'll see you halfway. I can do them for 90.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- What do you think, guys?- Oh, yes. - I agree.- They're great fun.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - Brilliant. Awesome.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21- First item done within 20 minutes. - Excellent.- Thank you.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26I'd say so. Thomas, you've been given the green light on your first buy. Well done, blues.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29So, is it time for a cuppa? Talking of which...
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Ooh, what's that, Catherine?
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- Tea scoop.- Is it Chinese?- Japanese?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40It's difficult to tell, actually.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44I would probably go more towards Japanese than Chinese.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Just the look of it, to me.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52- I would say it's an Oriental hardwood.- Yes.- Yes.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- It's nicely detailed. - I like the detail.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59For me, it's really hard to know for sure
0:13:59 > 0:14:00whether this has got definite age.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04If you look at it, it does seem like it's got a bit of wear to it.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07What's the price on it? 58.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11What do you think the stall seller will sell it to us for?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I don't know. You'll have to negotiate and use your charm.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Who's good at negotiating?- I'll try.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Good luck. Where's she gone?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I'm not sure. We'll soon find out!
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Oh, Joanna, I'm sure you can work your magic.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Over with the blues, something green has caught Lynne's eye.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- I like green.- You like this? - I do. It's beautiful.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35- Very Celtic, isn't it?- It is.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- VENDOR:- Strathclyde, I think.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Excellent. My side of the country.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Yes, a proud Glasgow lass, in fact.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- What's your price on it?- 45.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49TAPS IT
0:14:49 > 0:14:50- What do you think?- Do you like it?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- Um...- Tell me.- It's OK.
0:14:53 > 0:15:00- I'm not wowed by it. It's not like something that would draw me like what we got before.- Really?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02What a polite boy!
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- I really like this.- Do you?- I get a really good feeling about it.
0:15:05 > 0:15:11It's got this Celtic design, and the way the line and form has been created within this
0:15:11 > 0:15:17from using the organic materials of flowers, the swan heads.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19And it's perfect. Listen to that.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- A nice ding!- A nice ding to it.- Yes.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- What's your very best?- 40 is very, very best, really.
0:15:26 > 0:15:32I mean, it's all hand-painted and it's a good thing.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Hold on, Thomas. No team decision?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Deal. Thank you very much. - Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Thank you.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Two items. I know I made an exec decision.- No, no.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44But I've got a feeling about this.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49We said earlier if we each choose something and there's something that catches your eye,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- we would be... And Celtic.- Yeah. - It reflects you.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- Absolutely.- And it's a really good thing.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- The colours are beautiful. - Thank you.- You're very welcome.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Two items within five minutes. - Excellent.- Done!
0:16:00 > 0:16:04And green! Well scored for our Celtic fans, Tom boy!
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Your second buy at just over half time.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11So what's the score with your opponents and that tea scoop?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- Hi, team, team, team. - Team talk. Team talk!
0:16:13 > 0:16:19- Team discussion.- The lady says that because it's Oriental and Oriental's selling so well,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22she's only giving us £5 off. So 53 is her best.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- I... No...- It's a bit chancey. - It's chancey.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- But it's Oriental, Mum... - I think...- It's Oriental, Mum! - ..it's worth a chance.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- It's worth a chance.- I think so, too. I think we should go for it.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Caught our eye, didn't it? - Yeah, it did.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Yeah.- Right. Let's get it. - Team decision.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41We are good at making decisions!
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- We don't want to leave it all to the last minute.- Very good.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- Where's the lady? - Who's got the cash?- Hi!
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- We'd like to go for it, please. - Thank you very much.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Thank you.- Thank you.- Super.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Thank you, Catherine.- Thank you very much.- Good luck with it.- Thank you!
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Well done, reds. Will it be a scoop at £53?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01The blues are looking for a bit of a scoop, too,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03on this screen.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I don't think that'll be affordable.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09What's the price on the screen?
0:17:10 > 0:17:11280.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Oh! Not affordable. - Is that your best price?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Couldn't be £100?- I don't think so!
0:17:17 > 0:17:19At the very, very best...
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- 230.- 230.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25What have we got left, Ali?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- 170.- We've got the brain box here.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- £170.- Sorry, guys.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- No.- If I could, I would.- I know you would. Thank you, anyway. Thank you.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35It's a good thing, though.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37No score there, blues.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Never mind. But the reds aren't exactly playing the field.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43They haven't even left their last stall.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44What do you think?
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Oh, I like them. Little gnomes.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Ah! Gnome is where the heart is!
0:17:52 > 0:17:55I quite like them. I think they're probably German.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57What do you think, Joanna? Have a look.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59They could be Black Forest.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03They're quite roughly carved, but that's their appeal.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04- They're quite charming.- Textured.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- But he's got a bit of his nose missing.- A bit of nose missing.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- What do you think about that? - Will it matter?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Who "nose"? I doubt it'll stop a hardened gnome lover.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- He's lovely.- I just think they're so cheeky, aren't they?
0:18:18 > 0:18:23And can you see, there's certainly a nice bit of wear to them.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- It's quite dirty around here. - There's age there, yeah.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28And can you see, they're quite lightly painted, as well.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32If you show them up in the light, you can see.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- A little bit of green, red.- They would have done that, would they?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- People do collect Black Forest. - Yeah.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43I think a pair of bookends like this would be quite good fun.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- What do you think?- You don't think the nose - that's all that puts me off, the damage.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49We just said nothing damaged.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51You could always have a nose job!
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- What's the price?- I think they're quite charming.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I think they're 85.
0:18:57 > 0:19:0085? What do you think, Catherine?
0:19:00 > 0:19:04I think at auction I can see them with an estimate of 40 to 60.
0:19:04 > 0:19:11- Even with the damage?- But I can see them making 80 to £90.- Really?- Yes.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Do you think as we've bought something here before, we might be able to negotiate a deal?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Shall I go and ask this time? - Do you like them?
0:19:17 > 0:19:22- I do. I do.- She can't stop looking at them.- I love carved wood, so...
0:19:22 > 0:19:23What do you think?
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I'm just worried about the bit of damage, but I've fallen in love with him!
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Have you?- Yeah.- Ah!
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- He's looking at me! - He is looking at you!
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Here's looking at you, kid.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35He's got "come and buy me" eyes!
0:19:35 > 0:19:37He has. "Buy me! Buy me!"
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Shall I go and find out what we can do it for? What do you think?
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- Shall I come with you this time and see what we can do.- Give her a hand.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48You stay there with your friend!
0:19:48 > 0:19:51My friend! Hello!
0:19:51 > 0:19:53You'll be taking him home next, Joanna!
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Don't forget he's for auction!
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Sounds like Ali's fallen for something, too.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01What do you think about this?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Why did you pick this up, Ali?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Um, I just quite like it.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Is it... Can it be re-used again?
0:20:08 > 0:20:12"Marconi P20 valve radio receiver,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15"one of the first truly portable radios. 1948."
0:20:15 > 0:20:20And the man behind the name has often been hailed as the father of radio.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22You've got Medium and Long Wave.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Then you press this little button here,
0:20:24 > 0:20:28and out comes the valves, et cetera.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33- Look, it's got an original... - It's got the instructions there.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35And the serial number. I love how all these things have serial numbers!
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- Isn't it excellent?- Wonderful. - Could you use that again?
0:20:39 > 0:20:43This is obviously a cardboard cut-out of what the battery looks like.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46The battery would sit in there. It would have made it really heavy.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- Excellent.- What appealed to you about it?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I just have quite a strong interest in music, really,
0:20:51 > 0:20:57and it's nice to see what came before all the modern gadgets I've got now.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00So it's got appeal that way to it.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Can we ask, what do you know about the Marconi radio?
0:21:03 > 0:21:08It's a very early one. With portable radios in them days
0:21:08 > 0:21:10they had quite a large battery.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Unfortunately, you can't buy those batteries today.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- What a shame.- You can make them up,
0:21:15 > 0:21:21but it's quite a technical involved thing with lots of small 9 volt batteries.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- The thing about the radio is it's in pristine condition.- Beautiful.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26For its age, it's very nice.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- What can this be? - What have we got on it?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- You've got nothing!- Oh, right! OK!
0:21:31 > 0:21:33You've got 85.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Shall we say 65
0:21:35 > 0:21:38and that'll give you a good £20 to play with.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Sounds like he's on the right wave-length!
0:21:40 > 0:21:41What do you think, Ali?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I like it. It's something I'm really passionate about.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46It's something that I can relate to.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Just like how Mum got the pot earlier, that was Celtic,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53it would be nice to get something that I can relate to.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- Absolutely.- I think it's got value on it, as well. Could make some money.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- What did you say? VENDOR:- 65.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Any chance we could put a five in front of that?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- 60.- 60. What do you think?
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- I think we've got a deal. - You've got a deal?- I'm happy to.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Is that handshake time?- Yep!
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Sounds like it certainly is!
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- And your final buy. - Thank you very much.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17- Thanks, Tom.- Third and final item.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27What about the reds? Have they bagged Bilbo Baggins here yet?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Oh. What did she say?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31She did as badly as you did, actually!
0:22:31 > 0:22:3380.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Do you know, I've fallen in love with him while you've been over there.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39This little fellow's cast a spell on you, Joanna!
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- So we've come to ask you...- For some money!- ..What do you think?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47We want your opinion.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- They're charming and different, Joanna.- OK. Let's do it.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- Yes?- Yeah.- £80! Quite an item.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- High five!- Well done.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Well done!
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Smashing, reds. Your last buy, with 12 minutes left on the clock.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Cor, this is a bar stool(!)
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Ooh! Time, gentlemen, please!
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Stop the shopping and let's check out how the red team got on.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12First, they went red alert
0:23:12 > 0:23:15with this air raid warden's badge
0:23:15 > 0:23:18and wooden gas rattle.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23Next, they scooped this so-called 19th-century Japanese hardwood tea scoop.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Finally, they fell in love
0:23:27 > 0:23:30with the cheeky-chappie wooden bookends.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37- We were pretty nippy today.- Yeah, we did well.- It's not the only thing that's nippy today!
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- This weather's not so good, is it? - Freezing!
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Rae, which is your favourite piece?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I think the little wooden scoop.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49Your wooden scoop. What about the daughter? How do you see it?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52I have to agree with Mum. I really like the scoop, too.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- I think it's going to make us lots of money.- Do you?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58So you not only like it best, you think it'll bring the most profit.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Yeah.- It's going to fly!
0:24:00 > 0:24:04There's a prediction! What did you spend altogether, girls?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07We spent 173.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08173.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11So can I have 127?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Yes, you can. 127.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Over to you, Catherine, darling.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16- Lovely.- What are you going to do with that?
0:24:16 > 0:24:21- I'm going to spend it on something small and beautiful.- Yes.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24On that happy note, why don't we check out what the blue team bought?
0:24:24 > 0:24:30First, the blues bagged the set of Norwegian silver and guilloche enamel pepperettes.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Next, as true Celtic fans,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38the green Strathpeffer pottery bowl.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44Finally, they tuned in to the 1948 Marconi personal receiver.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- Easily!- Calm down!- Easily.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52You don't want to calm down too much in this temperature!
0:24:52 > 0:24:54You'll get frostbite!
0:24:54 > 0:24:56How much did you spend all round?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- We spent £190.- Did you?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00That's very good. Who's got the 110?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Got 110 about your... Ah, thank you very much.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Which piece will bring the biggest profit?
0:25:05 > 0:25:10- My piece, the beautiful little Celtic designed bowl.- Is it?- Yes.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- Do you agree, Ali?- No, it's got to be my Marconi radio.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16You're very chippy about what's mine and what's yours!
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- So those are your favourite pieces too?- Absolutely.- Yeah.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21I've got the message!
0:25:21 > 0:25:24OK, Tom, there's a reasonable sum for you to have a go at.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26You're on the old snatch, aren't you?
0:25:26 > 0:25:30You've already done a deal somewhere underneath the table, I can tell!
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- You want the money quick!- I want the money!- To go and pay.- Yeah!
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Very good luck with that. Good luck, Tom.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41Meanwhile, I'm going to show you something I sniffed out last time I was here in Peterborough.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Get it?
0:25:48 > 0:25:53On the face of it, this is a pretty boring and crudely carved
0:25:53 > 0:25:55kidney-shaped snuff box.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Until you turn it over,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00when it starts to get a bit more interesting.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Because on the top, we've got a print
0:26:03 > 0:26:06that's applied to the surface of the wooden box
0:26:06 > 0:26:10that shows a place called Thornton Abbey.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Now, Thornton Abbey was built in the 12th century
0:26:13 > 0:26:15and at the time of 'Enery VIII,
0:26:15 > 0:26:20it was dissolved and eventually fell into a ruin.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22But by the middle of the 19th century,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24which was when this box was made,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27it was attractive to tourists.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32In 1848, it had its own railway station nearby
0:26:32 > 0:26:35and people flocked to Thornton Abbey
0:26:35 > 0:26:38to wonder at these ruins.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43And hence, I guess, the tourist trade started producing these little snuff boxes
0:26:43 > 0:26:46simply by gluing a print on the top.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51And if you open it up, rather conveniently, there's another piece of printed material
0:26:51 > 0:26:54that says, "West View of Thornton Abbey".
0:26:54 > 0:26:58So you can see which side of the ruin you're looking at.
0:26:58 > 0:27:06This place became a mecca for people who were members of the Temperance Union.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11So you didn't drink, but you might still take a pinch of snuff.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15And the top end of 15 to 18,000 people
0:27:15 > 0:27:20would wander around this ruin at that time
0:27:20 > 0:27:23celebrating the fact that they didn't drink any more.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27A popular old place indeed!
0:27:27 > 0:27:33But I don't think too many of these Thornton Abbey snuff boxes survived
0:27:33 > 0:27:35because I've never seen one before.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40And here at Peterborough, you could buy such a thing for a £10 note.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45All that history, all that interest, from an adjoining county,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47for only £10.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Now that is not to be sniffed at!
0:27:52 > 0:27:57And six weeks later, we took our wares to sell at the auction.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05We've crossed the county line from Cambridgeshire to Lincolnshire
0:28:05 > 0:28:09to be in Stamford at Batemans sale room and to join David Palmer.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- David. Good morning.- Good morning. - Lovely to see you.
0:28:12 > 0:28:18First up for the reds is this combo ARP lot. What do you make of that?
0:28:18 > 0:28:24The rattle I'm a little dubious of, but the badge, my grandfather had one, and his was silver.
0:28:24 > 0:28:30- Right.- And there are faint traces of marks that tally with that being silver, so I think it is silver.
0:28:30 > 0:28:37OK. That's nice. Trouble is, this is either a crow scarer, or a football rattler, or it's a gas jobby.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- It could be any of those.- They probably did use crow scarers.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Just marked them up as ARP, because that's what they'd do in the war.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Quite. You're using something that is otherwise wandering around.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51So that's OK. The two together, what are they worth?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53We've put the estimate in at 20 to 40,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55- but it should do the top end. - Absolutely.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Next item is the Japanese hardwood scoop,
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- which is brand-Harry-spankers, isn't it?- It is.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- How much?- Ten to £20. - OK. Our team paid £53.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10Lastly, which I think is a really cool lot, are these bookends.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- Lovely, aren't they?- They are. Black Forest gnomes.- Yeah.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Do you know what "gnome" means?
0:29:15 > 0:29:17- No, I don't.- G-N-O-M-E?
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- No.- Guarding Naturally Over Mother Earth.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23That's what the word gnome means.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25- I think they're fun. - So do I. How much?
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- 50 to 70.- Oh, so brave!
0:29:28 > 0:29:32£80 paid by Rae, and she's very optimistic.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33- I think she should be.- Good.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Well, depending on how the little gnomes get on,
0:29:36 > 0:29:38will determine whether they need the bonus buy or not
0:29:38 > 0:29:40so let's have a look at it.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45- So, Rae.- On my own!- We're all alone!
0:29:45 > 0:29:47- Just you and me together! - How lovely is that!
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Well, not so lovely, really, cos there's been a drama for Joanne.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Yes, her little boy's quite poorly in hospital.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Oh, dear. But he's OK?
0:29:56 > 0:29:59We hope so, yeah. He'll be all right.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02It's very good of you to come and man the fort for us.
0:30:02 > 0:30:07- And you must give the little chap and Jo our love anyway. - Alfie. His name's Alfie.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12- Alfie. One of my favourite Christian names, Alfie.- Is it really?
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Anyway, it's lovely that you're here. Thank you.
0:30:14 > 0:30:19And as a reminder, you and the daughter spent £173.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23So you gave Catherine £127.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Catherine, what did you buy with 127?
0:30:26 > 0:30:28I think Joanna would approve.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31- I hope.- Gosh!
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- I bought you a little fox! - Oh, how sweet is that?
0:30:34 > 0:30:35- It's quite heavy, isn't it? - It is, yes.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- Isn't that nice?- It's bronze.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40It's Austrian, cold painted.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43You can still see little remnants of the original paint there.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- It's early 20th century. - How much did you pay?
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- Well, I paid £60, which I didn't think was very much at all.- No.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54Because these can make quite a bit of money, actually.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55And I think he's a beauty.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58He's got such a lovely little character.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00I think that's going to make us some money.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- Fingers crossed.- You and Joanna.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- Yes.- Fingers crossed.- Well, while you're doing that,
0:31:05 > 0:31:09we, for the audience at home, are going to discover from the auctioneer
0:31:09 > 0:31:12what he thinks about the little foxy.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15There you go. There's Reynard, for you.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Nice and weighty. Nicely painted.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Bit of chipping and that, but it looks good.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23A bit of a clean up, I fancy, is required.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25There's some filth on the paint.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27And it's a bit chipped. But at least it's genuine.
0:31:27 > 0:31:32- And we're in the right area for people to appreciate the fox.- Yes.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- How much?- 80 to 120.- Brilliant.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38£60 paid by Catherine. She's a brilliant woman.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40And that may get them out of trouble.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Now for the blues.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44First up for them are the three
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Norwegian and enamelled pepperettes.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50These are lovely. It's a shame we've only got three, though,
0:31:50 > 0:31:54because they're personalised pepperettes for your dining table.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56So six would have been brilliant.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Really good-looking things.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02They're quite popular as collectables, Norwegian enamelled silver, aren't they?
0:32:02 > 0:32:03- They are.- How much?
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- 60 to 90.- £90 paid, so they're pretty well on the button.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09What about the Scottish bowl?
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Yes. I like it. It's signed on the underside.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15The design is good. The colour's good.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19But I just have a sneaking feeling that the bird that's depicted there
0:32:19 > 0:32:22is a peacock, which is the symbol of bad luck
0:32:22 > 0:32:26and will reduce its potential selling value.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28£40, Thomas paid.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31We fall either side of that. 30 to 50.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33OK. We're pretty well on the money.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34So we've got two items on the money.
0:32:34 > 0:32:39The last object is the Marconi portable radio receiver,
0:32:39 > 0:32:40which is funky.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Yes, it is.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- It's heavy enough to be a personal weapon if you're attacked!- Yes.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49But whatever it is, it's stylish.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- It is.- How much do you think this is going to make?
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- Not a lot. 20 to £40.- Yes.
0:32:55 > 0:32:5660, we paid.
0:32:56 > 0:33:02So whatever upside we've got, there is likely to be a downside through the radio.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- Indeed.- They're going to need their bonus buy.- Yeah.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Let's go and tune in to it!
0:33:08 > 0:33:13- Ali and Lynne, you spent, my darlings, £190, yes?- Yes.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16You gave Thomas 110. What did you spend it on, Tom?
0:33:16 > 0:33:20£110 was spent on the jewel of all jewels,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24the king of the semi-precious stones, lapis.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Lapis is this magical stone from the Middle East
0:33:28 > 0:33:30and it has these beautiful gold flecks within it
0:33:30 > 0:33:33set with an 18-carat gold clasp.
0:33:33 > 0:33:39A fabulous silk-strung pebble lapis necklace.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- I rather like that.- It's beautiful.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue!
0:33:44 > 0:33:45- Something blue!- Definitely blue.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48When is the wedding about to happen?
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- Tomorrow!- It never is!- Two o'clock!
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- Are you feeling nervous? - Tim, I'm absolutely terrified!
0:33:54 > 0:33:56But I've not got anything blue!
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Nothing blue? I'm very sorry,
0:33:59 > 0:34:01but for tomorrow's wedding, you cannot buy this necklace!
0:34:01 > 0:34:05So how much would I have to pay for this beautiful...
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Well, you have to take it all into consideration.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11That's 18-carat gold, so I spent £110 on it.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- Ali, what do you think?- I like it. I think it's really nice.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- What period is it from?- Good point.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20It's not the oldest thing. I think it's 1900s, 1920s.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- 1980s?- It could be 1980s.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Yeah, it could be, but you know.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- It's 20th century.- 20th century.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31Let's find out from the auctioneer whether he likes Tom's pebbles.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36- Chunky.- Very chunky.- Colourful. - Very colourful.
0:34:36 > 0:34:43To me, it's a string of pebbles, but my colleague valuers who are better than me at this sort of thing
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- give it a strong estimate. - How much?- 100 to 150.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Well, that Thomas is no fool. He paid £110.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- That could be the object to dig them out of trouble.- It could, indeed.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Thank you very much.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- Well, Rae, this is it. We're on the edge.- Yes.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Any news from the hospital?
0:35:09 > 0:35:14- Slight improvement. He's chirpier this morning.- Oh, good.- Good.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18That's the main thing. Let's hope we can send some good news after the auction.
0:35:18 > 0:35:24Your first item is this gas rattle jobby. Estimated a 20 to £40. You paid 40.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28The second is the Japanese hardwood scoop which is not, I'm afraid, old.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32It's a modern reproduction. They put 10 to £20 on that. You paid 53.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33So that could be the problem.
0:35:33 > 0:35:39But the lovely Black Forest bookends should make up for any shortfall.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42He's put 50 to 70 on them. You paid 80.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47- But anything can happen in the auction.- I think they'll go. - I think they're very pretty.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50And if all else fails, you've got an old fox to fall back on!
0:35:50 > 0:35:53First up is the lovely gas rattle.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Lot 1236, the gas rattle.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Marked up for 1941. Very interesting piece, this.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Tenner. Ten I'm bid. 12. 15. 18. 20.
0:36:02 > 0:36:0422 now. At 22.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07At 22. Take the five. At £22.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Done, then, at 22. Is that it?
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- At £22. This has been through the war.- Yes!
0:36:12 > 0:36:14At £22.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Minus 18. Not to worry.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Now the tea scoop. I do not have any high hopes for this, I'm afraid.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Interesting little piece. Let's say £20 to start.
0:36:26 > 0:36:2820 I'm bid. 20. Two now. 22. 25.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30You're at 25. 28. Back here at 28.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Done that at 28. 30. 32 now.
0:36:32 > 0:36:3432. 35. 38.
0:36:34 > 0:36:3740. I have £40. That is against you.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Finished and done at £40.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41£40. Better than predicted.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Anyway, that's sadly still minus 13.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46..fruitwood bookends.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Late 19th century.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50These are rather nice. 40 quid.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54Straight in. £40 to start? 20, then? 20 I'm bid.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56At 20. Two. And 25.
0:36:56 > 0:36:5828 now. New money at 28. Take the 30.
0:36:58 > 0:37:0130. 32. 35. 38. 40.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03At 40 now. The bid is here at 40.
0:37:03 > 0:37:0542? Goes, then, at 42. 45.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07In the room at 45.
0:37:07 > 0:37:0948. Go 50, madam.
0:37:09 > 0:37:1250. With the lady at 50.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14I sell with the lady now at £50.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16It's in the room at 50. I sell in the room at 50.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22So overall, then, that is minus £61, which is not so hot.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24What are we going to do about this Viennese fox?
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- We're going to have to go. - I think you should do, too.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29It's a nice thing, and as we know, they're very collectable.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Here's Reynard the fox.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35Lot 1242 is the Vienna cold painted bronze figure of a fox.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Early 20th century. A lovely little piece, this.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40£30 for it? 30? 30 I'm bid.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42In at 30. Take a two now. 32 with the lady here.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- No, no!- 35. 38.- Get going!- 40.
0:37:44 > 0:37:4645. 50.
0:37:46 > 0:37:5055. 55. I sell here at 55.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53At £55. No-one else at 55?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55It's worth a lot more than that!
0:37:55 > 0:37:56- He's banging.- Minus £5.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Minus 66 overall.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03I don't think I'd make a call to the hospital if I were you.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07We'll stay quiet about this little...
0:38:07 > 0:38:11Whether that's a winning score or not will be determined by how the blues get on.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Now, Ali, Lynne. Are you excited?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- Very.- Do you know how the reds got on?- No.- No.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Perfect. We don't want you to.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30You got those lovely Norwegian silver and enamel-topped pepperettes.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33A little trio of them. £90 you paid.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37Their estimate is 60 to £90. Nearly in the frame, so that's OK.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- Yeah.- The Strathpeffer pottery bowl, the Scottish bowl,
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- £40 paid. 30 to 50 is his estimate. - Good.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50And the Marconi phone fellow, £60 paid,
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- he thinks it's worth 20 to 40.- Oh!
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Which is not so good, I'm afraid.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57But you've got the lapis lazuli beads to fall back on.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01First up are the Norwegian enamel and silver pepperettes. Here they come.
0:39:01 > 0:39:07Lot 1259 is a set of three Norwegian silver and enamel pepperettes. £50.
0:39:07 > 0:39:1050 to start. Straight in at £50 for the pepperettes.
0:39:10 > 0:39:1250 I'm bid. On the net, then, at £50.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14They sell at 50. Take a five. 55.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Still standing at 55. 60. 65.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19In the room at 65. 70 next. 75, sir.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22At 70. I sell here at 70.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Sell at £70.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29I thought it was going mad there, and everyone was going to bid.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Not mad enough. Anyway, minus £20.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Next, the Scottish bowl.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Morven and MacLeod bowl.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Striking decoration to it.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40£20 for the bowl? 20?
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Straight in, the Scottish bowl. A rare Scottish bowl.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46£20 the bowl. £10 the bowl.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Ten I'm bid. Down here at ten. 12.
0:39:48 > 0:39:5015. 18. 20.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Sell here at 20. Take a two again.
0:39:52 > 0:39:5522. Back in at 22. 25.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- At 25. Stick with it. 28? - This is a rollercoaster!
0:39:58 > 0:40:0025 I sell, then. Second row at £25.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02It's minus 15.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05- Overall, you're minus 35. - Should we leave now?
0:40:05 > 0:40:07No, we've got Marconi first.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10The Marconi portable radio receiver.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14This is what the youth of the '50s
0:40:14 > 0:40:16- wandered round with in the streets. - Retro!
0:40:16 > 0:40:18£30 for it? 30 quid?

0:40:35 > 0:40:38No. Minus £5 off that. OK.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40So minus 40 overall.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43What are we going to do about these beads, then? Go with the beads?
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- We're doomed.- "We're doomed!"
0:40:45 > 0:40:47- We're doomed!- "We're all doomed!"
0:40:47 > 0:40:50- Are we going with the bonus buy? - Going with the bonus buy?- Yes.

0:41:39 > 0:41:42- How bad is it?- It's all right bad. - Is it?
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Minus 115 bad!
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Holy toast! That is bad!
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Right. Who's paying for the wedding?
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Well, teams, how does it feel? Nice to be over?
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- Wonderful.- Gone through the agony barrier?- Just!
0:42:05 > 0:42:07It's no secret we're not going to the cash machine today!
0:42:09 > 0:42:11It's been a shocker, hasn't it?
0:42:11 > 0:42:15And the team that's done pretty well the worst is, of course, the blues.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Well done!
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- Minus £115.- Yes!
0:42:21 > 0:42:26You went with the bonus buy. That was a big mistake!
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- Nobody likes lapis lazuli, apparently, in this part of the world.- No.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33No. Or gold.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- But did you have a good time? - Really good.- Really, yeah.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39And very, very many congratulations with regards to the nuptials tomorrow.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- Thank you.- Hope you have a great time.- Thank you.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44But the victors today, sadly no Joanne,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47you've managed to win by only losing £66.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49- Not so bad.- That's pretty Irish.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52You won, actually, on absolutely nothing,
0:42:52 > 0:42:53but never mind.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56It's just that your losses were marginally less than their losses!
0:42:56 > 0:42:59And that's why you're the winner today.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- It makes up for it.- I hope your grandson is soon better.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04- I'm sure he will be. - I'm sure he will be, too.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05Anyway, it's been great fun.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09So much fun, join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?
0:43:09 > 0:43:10Yes!
0:43:11 > 0:43:15I know you're sitting there thinking, "I could do better than that!"
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Well, what's stopping you?
