0:00:04 > 0:00:10What is evident is that the small town of Sawbridgeworth in Hertfordshire
0:00:10 > 0:00:13is big on antiques shops.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Ha! Let's go Bargain Hunting! Yeah!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54A century ago,
0:00:54 > 0:00:58maltings like this would have been a hive of activity
0:00:58 > 0:01:02with the loading and unloading of barley for the brewing trade.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04The big question today is, of course,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07are our teams about to make big profits
0:01:07 > 0:01:09or just small beer?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Let's have a peek at what's coming up.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14The reds are hoping against hope.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19We need you to work some magic. Let's have a little miracle!
0:01:19 > 0:01:21And the blues are hedging their bets.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- I have some good news and some bad news.- Here we go!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34Well, our programme today is all about "lurve" and married bliss.
0:01:34 > 0:01:40Because we've got for the reds Lesley-Anne and Ashley
0:01:40 > 0:01:42and for the blues, we have David and Hazel,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45long-term married couples.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- Hello, everyone.- Hello.- Hello. - Very nice to see you.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Lesley-Anne, it hasn't always been lovey-dovey between the two of you?
0:01:52 > 0:01:58- No. When I first met Ashley I thought he was arrogant and pompous. - Did you?- I did.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- You don't mince your words!- No!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Impossible. I couldn't have been. - You were!
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- But something happened, though? - It did. For some reason I changed my mind
0:02:06 > 0:02:09and ten months later, we were married.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Really.- Absolutely.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Took you ten months to get around to it!
0:02:13 > 0:02:14I was that scared!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16OK. Got the message here.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20So, you met at work. What do you do to earn your crust now?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I'm a priest in the Church of England.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Assistant curate at St Mary Magdalene Church in Welwyn Garden City.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Gosh.- Big change of career.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Big change of career. Lovely. Are you enjoying your calling?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I am. It's one you can't ignore once you get it.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Ashley, you're a bit of a renovation nut.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I actually really do enjoy renovation.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43I can lay my hands on most things. Brickwork, carpentry I enjoy.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Electrics?- All of that. And a bit of plumbing.- You don't!- Yeah.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49You are what they call multi-faceted.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- We did all the second fixings for our previous house.- Yes.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55What are your team tactics going to be today, you two?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Well, we're going to win, aren't we? - We're going to make lots of money.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00We probably won't agree, but it'll be fun.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I think you should do very well, with all that power coming down!
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Good fun.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Well, here we go. David.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11You are an auditor, it says here, by profession,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14but really you're an active outdoor type?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I'm very much like you, Tim. A man with boundless enthusiasm
0:03:17 > 0:03:20energy, and never sit still.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25I'm always on the sports field. Life is just full of beans.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27What are your sports in particular?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- I love cricket.- And you do a bit of cricket coaching?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33A bit of cricket coaching. My son has started doing cricket.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35He's one of the people I've been coaching.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Very modest.- Chip off the old block.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40He's actually English Cricket Board qualified coach, aren't you?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Absolutely.- Didn't tell me that, though, did you?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- No.- I had to tease it out of you.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I like to hang on to a few things of mystique!
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Hazel, it says here you like to revisit your childhood a bit.
0:03:51 > 0:03:57I do. What happened was, David won a prize, which was some piano lessons.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00He wasn't able to use them, so he gave them to me
0:04:00 > 0:04:02so I'm learning to play the piano.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I've got an old Frank Sinatra songbook so I've been playing those
0:04:05 > 0:04:07and singing along with them.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12Have you? It's a pity we haven't got a piano out here to test your skills.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17- It's a pity, yes(!)- You played as a child and you've returned to it and are enjoying it.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- Yes.- Lovely. So what do you know about antiques, Hazel?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23I wouldn't say I know lots, Tim, no.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25She knows about antiques - she married one!
0:04:25 > 0:04:27That's all I can say. I know nothing about them.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- You know nothing?- We know what we can do.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- And she doesn't know much about antiques.- We're in trouble!
0:04:32 > 0:04:34No, you're not! You'll do very well!
0:04:34 > 0:04:35It always works out like that.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Anyway, here comes your £300.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Good, good. £300 apiece.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45And very, very good luck.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Whatever next?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Now, let's meet today's experts.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Hoping to net some bargains for the reds:
0:04:57 > 0:05:02And Charlie Ross is aiming for the sweet taste of success for the blues.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Now, is it true, although you get on, you two, you never agree?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11We never agree on anything. Ever. Complete opposites!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Really? So who's going to be doing the buying?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Hazel's doing the buying, definitely.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18And you'll just be miserable all the time?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I'll make suggestions and she'll tell me why I can't have them!
0:05:22 > 0:05:24What are you looking for, Lesley-Anne?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I like small, shiny pretty things.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Small, shiny pretty things. Ashley?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- I'm looking for old tools. I love tools.- Some old tools. OK.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- That certainly appeals to me, so let's get cracking.- Let's go.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40Both teams must now find three items in under an hour to take to auction.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43As you know, the winner is the team that makes the highest profit
0:05:43 > 0:05:45or the smallest loss.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Lesley-Anne is quick off the mark and boxing clever.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- That's Russian.- Beautiful.- That's gorgeous. I really like these.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- You like it?- I do have a couple of these, believe it or not, found in charity shops.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Oh. Amazing.- But I've really been interested in them since.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07- Here comes Nick.- Hi.- Lesley-Anne and Ashley, here's Nick.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Nice to meet you.- And you.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Nick, you hold the key, possibly, to our success.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Hey, I do the jokes round here!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Gosh, that's more keys than the church!
0:06:18 > 0:06:22I'm excited about this. About a minute off the clock, or something.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24If it's got a red interior...
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- I like them.- Why don't you do the honours?
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Oh, look! You knew! - It's absolutely gorgeous.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33What do you think about the age of this?
0:06:33 > 0:06:38I think it's one of the more modern ones. It's quite light.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41What I have seen - there's another one here.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44And I'd quite like to have a look at that one as well, if possible.
0:06:44 > 0:06:50The craft of making lacquer-coated papier-mache decorative boxes and panels
0:06:50 > 0:06:54was developed by the former icon painters of Imperial Russia.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Unlike this brand-new version,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59they were often hand-painted with scenes from folktales.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02This one I think is a bit of a showstopper.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- It's got some nice colours. - Nicely presented, isn't it?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Oh, it's £50. What do you think?
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Nick is our middle man. We need to speak to the dealer. We can't do that directly.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17Can we ask if he would do 40 on that?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- I can ask, and I'll come back to you.- That would be really good.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Thank you.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25No harm in asking for a better price.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Meanwhile, how are those blues getting on?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- What about that, Charlie? What do you think?- I like that.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- It's a wine funnel.- Is it?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Are you a wine drinker?- I would not say no to a drop of red, sir!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38That's ideal.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41A good bottle of red will always have sediment in the bottom.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43So you need to decant it from the bottle
0:07:43 > 0:07:45to filter it,
0:07:45 > 0:07:49and then you can use that funnel to pour it into your decanter.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Good morning!- Morning.- How are you? - Good thanks.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- Are you in a super mood, this morning?- Absolutely.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57- Hooray.- That's what we like to hear.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Television lipstick, there!
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Could we have a look in here?
0:08:01 > 0:08:06It is silver. And anything to do with wine is quite popular
0:08:06 > 0:08:08particularly with me!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I think that's quite a sweet item.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14I'd like it to be Victorian. It's 1936.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17You're not looking at a massive amount of money there.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19£39.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23It's very light, so you're not looking at a heavy gauge of silver.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26It has got some dents. Does it belong to you, Shirley?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- It doesn't, unfortunately.- Oh, dear.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- If it did, you'd give it to us, wouldn't you?- Of course I would.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Did you hear that, team?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Do you have any things of your own in here?- No.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37That's a bit of a blow!
0:08:37 > 0:08:39That plan's out of the window.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44- I think if you could buy it for 30, it would be well worth it.- OK.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Give it a try, Shirley.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- We're on your side.- Thank you.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50See what you can do, Shirl.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Now, back to the reds, who are also awaiting price news.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Hi, Nick.- Hello, Nick.- Hello.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Yes, £40.- £40. OK.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I think go with my gut. I saw this, loved it,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- and I think this is our first purchase.- Oh, I'm delighted. Brilliant.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- OK. That's 20% off.- I'm really pleased with that.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- It's lovely.- Fantastic.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- I can't moan if you buy tools, now. - This is true.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16That's quick work, reds. Well done.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19That's your first item in the old bag.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Now, here comes our Shirl with news on the silver wine pourer.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- What's the verdict?- Not quite what you wanted,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28but we can split the difference at 32.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- That's definitely interesting.- 32.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- Shall we have a go?- Yes. - That's a wise idea.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Shirley, you've got yourself a deal.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41And that's the first purchase for the blues.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43It's now one-all.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Back to the reds, and there's more talk of Russia.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49What about the little Russian bell?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52That would also go with the Russian book.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55We could keep a theme going here. What do you think?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58It would be a theme. Ash, what do you think?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- I think that's hideous!- Do you?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Don't like it at all.- What's so wrong about her face?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- She's gorgeous!- She's got very rosy cheeks!
0:10:04 > 0:10:07You don't like it? He's so rude!
0:10:07 > 0:10:10It's not my place to say, but I agree with Ash on that one.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15I don't think in the Chiswick Auction that that's going to catch anyone's eye.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- Can't see it.- Move away from the Russian doll.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19We'll tick Russia off our list. I think so.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Let's see if we can move on to another continent.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Hey, Russia is a country, not a continent, Natasha!
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Now, over to David, who certainly knows his cricket.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Charlie?- Yeah?
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- I've got something here. - Oh, no! A cricket bat.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39But this has got signatures on and I recognise some of these.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- You've got Graham Thorpe. - Left-handed batsman.- Absolutely.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Like me.- Surrey and England. - Except he was better!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48And you've got the famous England captain and wicket-keeper, Alec Stewart.
0:10:48 > 0:10:54- Yep.- Alistair Brown. Now, this tells me we're talking about a Surrey signed bat.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59- "Hand-signed by 19 Surrey players." - You were right.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It says £20 on there.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- That's not a lot per signature, is it?- £1 each.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07How much might that make at the auction?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Where are we selling?- Chiswick.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Where's that? Middlesex?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Surrey, isn't it? No, it's just on the border.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Just on the border!- On the border. - I'm liking your thinking.- Yes.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23There might well be some Surrey fans. Wouldn't it be nice
0:11:23 > 0:11:26to buy something about which you're passionate.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Would you allow him to buy it? - Um, I'm not sure!
0:11:30 > 0:11:35- No.- That's a maybe.- A guarded way of saying no.- A definite maybe.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37It is, isn't it?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- We've got lots of time.- You can buy a bit of jewellery or something. - We've still got time.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- We've still got time.- A nice piece.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47You're 20 minutes into the shop, so yes, Hazel, you still have time on your side.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50But it will soon be over!
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Get it? Ah, well.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Meanwhile, the reds have spotted some white gowns.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59Natasha, how well do christening gowns do?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01They do quite well if they're Edwardian or Victorian,
0:12:01 > 0:12:05and the linen is nice and crisp. Are any of these catching your eye?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07There's one just here, actually.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- It's rather nice. I like the lace around...- Right. OK.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15And I don't tend to baptise many tiny babies,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18but I know that if there was a wee baby,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21something like this would be a delight to the family.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Absolutely lovely.- Something to think about handing on.- Yeah.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Generally, they do better in bulk.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Perhaps we could speak to the dealer and see if we can do a deal for a couple.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- Good idea.- Have you seen the price tag on this, yet?- No, I haven't.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Oh, my goodness.- What do you reckon? I think about £20.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38£28.
0:12:38 > 0:12:4228. It's not so far off what we would hope to maybe get for a couple.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45There's a nice one over here. If we were maybe able to get the two of them,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47then we might be doing OK.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51That's more ornate, more fringing, more lacy.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54And a higher price. It's £45!
0:12:54 > 0:12:59I know, but as you say, if we could possibly get the lovely Nick to have a word?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01We could maybe strike a deal. Ash, what do you think?
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- I think they're beautiful. I love the lacework on them.- I think so.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Here's Nick. Hi, Nick.- Hi.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Nick, look into my eyes!
0:13:11 > 0:13:16I need you to really work some absolute magic. Let's have a little miracle.
0:13:16 > 0:13:23I'd like to ask if these can be done - the pair, the one behind you, as well -
0:13:23 > 0:13:25the pair for £45.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30You'll notice that's the price on one, Nick.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I don't think the dealer will be able to do that.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I will come back with her best price, I promise.
0:13:36 > 0:13:42Very best price. Can you tell her it would be some mother's dream to have these.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45But I won't be able to afford that price, so please...
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- It's emotional blackmail. - Emotional blackmail.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54I will pass on the emotional blackmail to the dealer on the phone.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I'll see what I can achieve for you.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- You're a wonder.- Thank you so much. Thank you very much.- Bye.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Hoping for divine intervention on the price front,
0:14:04 > 0:14:05we'll leave the reds to it.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08The blues, however, are still eyeing the cricket bat.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I think, if you look carefully at this label,
0:14:12 > 0:14:16£20, but there's a big two there.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Do you think it was 30 and they've reduced it to 20?- Could well have been.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- Do you think they're getting fed up with it?- Yeah, could well be.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Do you think they could get so fed up, they'd take a tenner?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26They might! They might!
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Shall we send David off, see what he can do?- Let's do that.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32David, go and buy it for a tenner, there's a good chap.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36So, as David heads off to get the price down,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Nick reports back to the reds on the christening gowns.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Unfortunately, I can't get hold of the dealer at the moment.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I've left messages and hopefully she'll get back very soon.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49It's not the end of the world. We've got plenty of time. Let's have a look around
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- and see, Ash, what catches your eye. - Definitely.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Onwards and upwards, then, folks. Don't lose faith!
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Keep hunting.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Ashley, this looks more like your kind of thing.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01This looks very much up a gentleman's street.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06There's a vintage saw, and you've got some planes and other things there.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10The plane I like. This is very similar to the old-fashioned spoke shave. I like that.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15- Right.- It's interesting. It's a nice unit.- What about the spirit level?
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- Yes.- Well, we know where they are. We know where to look if we're running out of time.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- Yes, definitely.- OK? Great.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26See what I'm saying? I'm a girl of quality, aren't I?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- You love things that are a lot of money!- I do!- Charlie!
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- He's back.- I caught you there! - What's the verdict?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35What's the verdict?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- I have some good news and some bad news.- Oh, here we go!
0:15:37 > 0:15:44- The good news is it's not 20. The bad news is it's 15?- It's 15. Such a wise man!
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Think how much money that would give Hazel to spend on something else!
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Ooh, yeah.- Shall we do that?- OK.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Do that.- Have we got your blessing? - Yes.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Come on, then.- Come on. - Tell Shirley yes.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00She's a star. And let's get cracking.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Come on.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05The blues seem bowled over with their second purchase, and rightly so.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Well done!
0:16:07 > 0:16:10The reds, meanwhile, have decided to look at the tools, after all.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13OK. So I've got the spirit level.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Lesley-Anne has this lovely saw. The hand saw.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19And what is it that you have? I don't actually know what a spoke shave is!
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Planes are very sort of long,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24So you get something flat when you go across.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28With a spoke shave, you can move it and get different shapes.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32I believe the term came from when they used to make wheels. Cart wheels.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- OK.- So it goes around the spoke part of the wheel.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Certainly for me, I have a good notion about this.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- You were into finding some tools. - I love this.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44We clocked them earlier. We've now got them in our hands. They feel good.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47They're all solid oak. Nice brass fixtures.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50On this one, all the work that it's done in the past. The marks there.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Yes.- The brass on this one is absolutely gorgeous.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56No, you do the maths. What was the grand total?
0:16:56 > 0:17:00If you add them together it's about 47.50 for the three.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04OK. Ash, if you'd be so kind and go and speak to Nick.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06See if you can shave off a few pounds!
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- I like it!- I like it, I like it!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- I'll go and see. I'm enthusiastic about these.- Thank you.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Wonderful.- Our fate is in your hands, Ash. Thank you very much. - As usual!
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Right, Ashley. Off you trot to find a price.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Time to catch up with the blues.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Remember, teams, the clock is ticking.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Ooh, candlesticks, Charlie. What do you think of those?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Oh, aren't they pretty?- Very pretty.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- "Pair of Edwardian silver vase..." Oh, they're vases, not candlesticks! - Are they?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Aren't they unusual? Do you like them?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- I do.- The missus has spotted something really expensive that she likes.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Really nice.- Not for the first time! - Showcase 28.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Do you want to find Nick? Nick is the man. If Nick's about.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Seems our Nick has his work cut out!
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- Oh, hi.- Nick said he'd do all three for 35 quid.
0:17:56 > 0:17:5935 quid?! 35 quid? How did you do that?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Absolutely brilliant. Nick used his magic, really.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- That is unbelievable.- That is so cool.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- We've got someone coming to see us. - OK. Could this be more good news?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- It is more good news.- Break it gently.- Two christening gowns...
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- ..£50 for the two.- Oh, my goodness.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- That is brilliant.- Thank you, Lord!
0:18:19 > 0:18:22You saw me asking and he has provided.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Brilliant. Can't believe it. Three items, done and dusted. - Put it there!
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Thank you, girlfriend. Thank you, sir.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Yes, that's it, reds. You're all done and dusted. Well done.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35But how are the blues getting on?
0:18:36 > 0:18:42We've bought a couple of things for very little money, so Hazel's looking to splash the cash.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Isn't that right?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- At the right price!- Well, of course!
0:18:47 > 0:18:49There's the first one.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Oh, that's really nice.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Thank you very much.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Just have a look at that decoration round the top.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I'm going to make a suggestion here.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I think that these were candlesticks.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07And they probably came up to about there.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10If you look at the cutting around here,
0:19:10 > 0:19:13the grooves here run off into nothing.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17My view is that those have been adapted.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21I think they're a real gamble, and there are other things in this cabinet
0:19:21 > 0:19:25that are, for want of a better word, more pure.
0:19:25 > 0:19:31- OK.- So I'm going to say - I'm not going to stop you buying them, Hazel -
0:19:31 > 0:19:33if you want to buy them, do.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- But there are two perfume bottles there that I think...- That one?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Isn't that gorgeous?
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Nick, can we have a look at that one?
0:19:40 > 0:19:44It's got a vacant cartouche, in other words, there's no engraving on there.
0:19:44 > 0:19:49It has its stopper, probably its original stopper.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I think that's beautiful.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Absolutely. It's not cheap.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57It's £98. Nick might be able to do better on that, might not.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- But it's a fab thing. - I'm quite happy to ring the dealer.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- Are you?- Absolutely. Not a problem at all. A pleasure to ring her.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Oh, that's fab.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10We're really wanting to buy it a fair bit cheaper, but we'll see what happens.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Go on, Nick! Make that call.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Having finished their shop, the pressure's off for the reds
0:20:17 > 0:20:18and it's time to reflect.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22Tell you what, there was certainly a presence with us today!
0:20:22 > 0:20:24More tea, Vicar?
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Oh, very good!
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Thank you so much.- Lovely.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Cheers, m'dear!- Cheers!- Good health!
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- To bargains!- Thanks very much. - Thank you.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35And now back to the man of the moment, our Nick,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37with news for the blues.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42Look, he's got a jaunty sort of walk to him! And a smile on his face!
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Definitely, yes.- What are you doing for my lovely friend here?
0:20:45 > 0:20:4775.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Ooh!- Ooh, I say!
0:20:49 > 0:20:51What do you think, Charlie?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54I think it's a fabulous thing, it's in good condition
0:20:54 > 0:20:57and bearing in mind we've got about three minutes left,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59do you want to run off and try and buy something else?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- I think go for it.- Yes.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Sign the deal with Nick. - Thank you, Nick.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10With the last item in the blues' bag,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13that means that both teams have now completed their shop.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Right, that's it! 60 minutes are up.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Let's check out what the red team bought, eh?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22They spent £40 on a Russian lacquered and painted box.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29They carved £35 of their budget into this collection of wooden tools.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33And they spent £50 on two white cotton christening gowns.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Gosh. 175. What am I going to do with all that?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- I don't know.- So you spent £125?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- 125.- Is that all?- Yes.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45My God, that's not even the congregation collection money!
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- For the week!- I've failed!
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- Completely.- You've been to our church before, then?
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- Any road, who's got the £175? - I'll hand it over to you.- OK.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- That's 175. You don't like doing that at all.- The odd bits are there.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03- Thanks very much. OK, fine. Over you go, Natasha.- Thank you. - Lovely, darling.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- That's it.- Thank you very much. - Quite a lot of cash. Got anything in mind?
0:22:07 > 0:22:11I'll try and come up with something that reflects your characters.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Good luck!
0:22:14 > 0:22:19She is enigmatic. Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the blue team bought, aren't we?
0:22:20 > 0:22:25The poured £32 into this 20th-century silver wine funnel.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29£15 was spent on the late 20th-century signed cricket bat.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33And finally, they paid £75
0:22:33 > 0:22:38for an early 20th-century sterling-silver-mounted cut-glass perfume bottle. As, you do!
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Now, to define what's what, how much did you actually spend, Hazel?
0:22:44 > 0:22:45We spent £122.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50£122. Then I would like £178 of leftover lolly, please.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Here you are. £178.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56OK. Here you go, Charlie Ross. That's a nice lump, that.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59OK. Loads of it. And if I know you,
0:22:59 > 0:23:03you will be going off and finding something that has a bit of sporting interest, if you can.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- I think so.- Mr Ross likes to do everything to please, don't you?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I certainly do!
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Anyway, have a nice cup of tea. Relax. Good luck, Charlie.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Meanwhile, I'm going to head off
0:23:14 > 0:23:16and try and get a bit of silver into focus.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Well, there are some interesting things here in Sawbridgeworth in the antiques centre.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Particularly small pieces of silver and the like.
0:23:31 > 0:23:37Because on the face of it, this is a standard late Victorian silver buckle.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41When I turn it over, you can see it's got a wee mark
0:23:41 > 0:23:45and if I pick up my trusty magnifying glass
0:23:45 > 0:23:48which is a standard loop, and you can see it says
0:23:48 > 0:23:51"sterling" silver, which is handy
0:23:51 > 0:23:54because that tells me it's not English.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Those are the standard marks for US of A
0:23:58 > 0:24:00so this is an American buckle
0:24:00 > 0:24:03and as a result of using the magnifying glass,
0:24:03 > 0:24:06I know that this thing is worth a bit more than the standard British one.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11The standard British price, if you like, for a standard British buckle like this
0:24:11 > 0:24:14would be about 15 to £25.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19Because this is American, it's worth perhaps nearer 60 to £80.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Next door to that is a standard fiddle pattern teaspoon
0:24:23 > 0:24:26but turn it over, squint at the mark,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29and it, too, is an odd mark.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33It says simply "standard" in a scroll.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36That scrolling standard mark
0:24:36 > 0:24:38is a mark for Canada.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Canadian silver is rarer than British silver,
0:24:41 > 0:24:46so instead of this spoon being worth maybe eight to £12
0:24:46 > 0:24:49as an individual Victorian British hallmarked spoon,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53as a Canadian example, it's perhaps worth nearer £40.
0:24:53 > 0:24:59And in the next-door cabinet, I found this little optical instrument.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03This thing is simply a lens from a pair of spectacles
0:25:03 > 0:25:07which has fallen out, probably in Africa.
0:25:07 > 0:25:13In about 1900, rather than throwing that magnifying lens away,
0:25:13 > 0:25:18the native African has gone out and chopped down a little sapling
0:25:18 > 0:25:20and bent it around the lens,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23bound it together with a bit of copper wire,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26and then what looks like early Elastoplast
0:25:26 > 0:25:29or a bandage going round it to make a handle.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33But surprisingly, it's very effective.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Because it works just as well
0:25:35 > 0:25:37as my jeweller's loop,
0:25:37 > 0:25:41in that it'll magnify the mark and do the business.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46This charming naive bit of native creativity
0:25:46 > 0:25:48would cost you here a £10 note.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53But if we want to scroll forward into the 21st century,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55take this fellow.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00You've got a spectacle lens, a pair of jeweller's loops in Bakelite
0:26:00 > 0:26:02that have been applied to a frame
0:26:02 > 0:26:06and on the outside, cos we're in the 21st century,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09are two LED spotlights.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15As I say, surprising to find such a gadget in an antiques centre,
0:26:15 > 0:26:19but believe it or not, imported from China only yesterday,
0:26:19 > 0:26:25this gadget could be yours for just £13.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Now, that is what I call dazzling!
0:26:46 > 0:26:48If you trotted 40 miles south from Sawbridgeworth,
0:26:48 > 0:26:52you might arrive in Chiswick and come to High Road Auctions
0:26:52 > 0:26:53to be with Ross Mercer.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- Ross, good morning. - Good morning, Tim.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- That's what we did, all the way from Sawbridgeworth.- We're happy to have you.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01And we're happy to be here, I can't tell you!
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Now, what about that Russian lacquered box, made last year?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Yes, there's no great age to it.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10It'll please someone. It's a tourist gift from Red Square.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- How much?- We've said ten to £20.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Dos vedanya! £40 paid.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- Whoosh!- Whoosh! Moving on,
0:27:18 > 0:27:23let's see if we can cut a profit here and try and level with each other!
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Now, early tools are collectable.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28People can be very, very passionate about the subject.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Three good items here. Nothing fine and rare,
0:27:32 > 0:27:36but a good named level that's both quite decorative and useful.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38We've said 50 to £80.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41That will shave out a profit. £35 paid for the lot.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43I think you'll do jolly well with these. I hope so.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Rather better, I think, than perhaps the christening robes.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Difficult to get excited about these.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50They tend to be bought brand new now.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54And these, often, will dress a doll in most people's houses.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58- Nice condition.- Christening robes are fine if you've got an old family thing
0:27:58 > 0:28:00and it goes back to day dot.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- But somebody else's?- It's not a wide audience. We're looking for 20 to £40.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- 20 to £40.- 20 to 40, we've said. - What, each?- No, for the two.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10For the two. £50 paid by the team.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13I think the christening gowns are going to torpedo their chances.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16In which case, they'll need their bonus buy. Let's have a look at that.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- Lesley-Anne, Ashley, this is a very tense moment.- It is, indeed.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25Certainly is. So, £175 you had.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Du-dum!
0:28:26 > 0:28:28OK.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30So, first of all in my right hand
0:28:30 > 0:28:34we have a set of six silver hallmarked cocktail sticks
0:28:34 > 0:28:38with little enamel terminals which are so cute
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- in the shape of cockerels. They're beautiful.- They are beautiful.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44They're hallmarked for 1929/30 Birmingham.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46So they are nice period cocktail sticks.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48And I thought in Chiswick, with all these fancy houses around,
0:28:48 > 0:28:53invite your friends round for Bridge with your sterling silver propelling Bridge pencils
0:28:53 > 0:28:59stick a few cocktails, get sloshed and have a lovely fancy evening.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- If you lose, you could prod. - You could. Exactly!
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Take one each, chaps, and handle the goods.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07They are very beautiful things,
0:29:07 > 0:29:11but I'm wondering do you think that people will buy them today?
0:29:11 > 0:29:14I do. I think this is very much in fashion.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16The cocktail party, the tea party,
0:29:16 > 0:29:19anything involving nice china, nice glassware, is very much on trend.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22How much do you think they'll make, Natasha?
0:29:22 > 0:29:23OK. Well...
0:29:23 > 0:29:26I confess that I spent quite a lot of money on them.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- You left me 175...- We did, yes.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32- ..and I spent 170 on the two. - Ooh!
0:29:32 > 0:29:36I might have been a little bit over eager,
0:29:36 > 0:29:41but I thought the condition was great. As Tim said, they've hardly been used.
0:29:41 > 0:29:47If points were awarded for enthusiasm and vivacity and overall zip,
0:29:47 > 0:29:50I reckon these are going to make a huge amount of money.
0:29:50 > 0:29:56Right? Unfortunately, that doesn't apply in the auction, cos she's not selling them, the auctioneer is!
0:29:56 > 0:29:59So at this point why don't we, at least, the audience at home,
0:29:59 > 0:30:04find out what the auctioneer does think about Natasha's bits of silver.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Now, look at that for a combo.
0:30:07 > 0:30:14Cocktail sticks with cocks enamelled on the top, that's cool, isn't it?
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I love these, Tim. I think they're great fun.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- I'm a great fan of cocktails. Mine's a Mojito!- Is it?
0:30:20 > 0:30:24And nicely enamelled, hallmarked Birmingham 1929/30.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28And it must be said they have suffered very well
0:30:28 > 0:30:30in the last 80 years.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- All the enamel intact, and I think a real goer.- Really?
0:30:34 > 0:30:38And if you need a game of cards, you've got your bridge pencils, too.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Both lots in silver. That's handy.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44What's your very, very best estimate if you cross your legs and try hard?
0:30:44 > 0:30:48- 60 to £100, Tim.- For the two boxed sets?- For the two boxes.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51OK. Stand by - £170 was spent.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- That's a lot of money for what they're for.- Breathtaking. - It is breathtaking.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56OK. We'll stand by.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00Maybe the teams won't go with the bonus buy. Never know your luck.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04Now, that's it for the reds. Next up for the blues
0:31:04 > 0:31:06is a so-called "wine funnel".
0:31:06 > 0:31:10That has to be the titchiest wine funnel I ever did see!
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- It is quite mean, and has absolutely no place in my drinks cabinet.- No.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- We can't hold that against it. - No.- It's still silver.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20And someone will find a use for it somewhere!
0:31:20 > 0:31:22What would your estimate be?
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- We've said 30 to £50. - Fine. £32 paid.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- Very good. Hazel found that. - Stand a good chance.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- What about the old bat? - I think it's quite fun, Tim.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34You've got a few good signatures there.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Graham Thorpe, Joey Benjamin and others.
0:31:37 > 0:31:43- We don't know the match. It's not dated.- No. And that's why we say 20 to £40.- That's what you put on.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47OK. £15 was paid so they didn't pay much. Just a bit of fun, really.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49And lastly, which I think is a better object,
0:31:49 > 0:31:52the silver-mounted scent parfum. That's good, isn't it?
0:31:52 > 0:31:57That is nice quality. Good quality English cutting to it.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59The silver mount is in good condition.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03No heavy dents. Good to go. I have high hopes for that.
0:32:03 > 0:32:04How high?
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- We've said 40 to £60.- Not terribly high, then!- I think it's a bit mean.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12What's your most generous high hope?
0:32:12 > 0:32:15I think, on a good day, following wind, Tim, that'll make £80.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Needs to, cos they paid £75.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20But there we are. It's all speculation.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23All will be revealed in a moment. But based on those estimates,
0:32:23 > 0:32:25I think they should just about be all right,
0:32:25 > 0:32:29and won't need a bonus buy. But for the fun of it, let's have a look.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Well, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:32:32 > 0:32:37Because you gave Carlos Ross an enormous amount of cash.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Actually, about £178.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Charlie, what did you spend it on?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44I couldn't spend all of it.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48I did my best. But I spent a goodly percentage of it.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- Do you like a tipple? - Come on, who wouldn't?
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Well, then you might like these.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- Oh, my word.- Oh!
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Four spirit labels.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02- Fantastic.- Or wine labels.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04I'm going to have a sherry, me.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06I'll take the gin and leave you the tonic!
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Splendid! No tonic here - mine's a vodka.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13They're hallmarked silver. They're not Georgian or even Victorian.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16They're 20th century. But I bought them on price.
0:33:16 > 0:33:23Because they cost the princely sum of £70 for the whole four.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28Now, my view is that they must be worth, I'd have thought, between 20 and £30 each.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32They don't have a great deal of weight, but they're nicely made,
0:33:32 > 0:33:36they have good crisp hallmarks and they're in good condition.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39I think at £70, they should be worth more money.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Charlie, how much are we going to get for these?
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Bottom line is 80, I would say. £20 each. Top line about 100.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- So profit's virtually guaranteed. - I can never guarantee a profit,
0:33:48 > 0:33:52but I would be disappointed if the auctioneer couldn't get more than £15 each for these.
0:33:52 > 0:33:57- I quite like them, yes. They're very stylish.- Good. That's a positive response.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01And he's predicting a profit. Rest with those thoughts.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05Right now, we'll check out with the auctioneer what he thinks about Charlie's little labels.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11There we go. Four danglers. You can have the vodka.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- Thank you, Tim.- And the rum. There we go.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19They're just quite cheaply stamped out. They're not cast.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- Relatively light.- That's right.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24And dating from when, Ross?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26These are hallmarked for the mid-1970s.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31- Right.- Two near-matching pairs here in an 18th-century style.
0:34:31 > 0:34:36I would hope on a good day they'll creep up to 100, £120, perhaps.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Really. Well, Charlie paid £70.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41I think he's done well there, for £70.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42That's reassuring.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45It'll all depend whether the team go with the bonus buy.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Thank you very much, Ross. That's very informative.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Good fun. Thank you.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03Now, L.A, Ash, are you feeling OK?
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Yes.- So, first up is the painted box.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10- All the way from Russia with love and here it comes.- Here we go.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Lot 152. The 20th-century lacquered Russian box.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18How do we value it? It ought to be £5. Couple of pounds, surely.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Four, six, eight, ten, now.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- Ten I have in the room.- I'll never hold my head up again!
0:35:23 > 0:35:26£12, now. 15.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31- 18.- 18.- At £18. 20 just in time.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Come on, come on internet. Come on, Russia!
0:35:34 > 0:35:3624, sir?
0:35:36 > 0:35:39At £22. On the internet at 22.
0:35:40 > 0:35:4222 is minus 18.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- We thought we were going to do worse.- It's a start.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Next lot. Lot 153.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50One of my favourite lots of the sale.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- His favourite lot!- The collection of tools. There we are.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55How do you value? It ought to be £20. Come along.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57£10, then? £10 I'm bid at the back.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01£15 now.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03At £15 on the internet. Do I hear 20?
0:36:03 > 0:36:06- At £15.- No.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08- Last chance.- This can't be right.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10£20, then, on my right.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- At 20. Last chance at 20. - Keep going.- Keep going!
0:36:14 > 0:36:1625.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18At £25. I'll draw it out.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- I'm afraid.- Let's make it 30.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Come on, make it 30.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24At 25.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27£25 is minus £10
0:36:27 > 0:36:29which means you're minus 28.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- We're not going to earn a living at this, are we?- Definitely not.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Stand by for the christening gowns.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Lot 154. Two of these.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37White cotton christening gowns.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39How do we value them? £10 anywhere?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- £5 anywhere?- Five pounds?!
0:36:42 > 0:36:45You're kidding me. Five pounds?!
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Eight. Eight I have. Looking for ten.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49£10, now. At ten. 12.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- Come on.- At £12.- Come on, Lord.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54This is a christening gown.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56£15. Internet at 15.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Done and selling now at £15 only.
0:37:00 > 0:37:0263. Minus 63.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04- All those prayers! - What are we going to do?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06These things are sent to try us!
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- They're very trying. - That's what we have to say.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Are we talking about the bonus buy?
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- Bonus buy.- We've done so badly, we might as well go with it.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- For whatever reason, we're going with the bonus buy.- Yes.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20Going with the bonus buy. I can tell you the auctioneer's estimate is 60 to 100.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22OK?
0:37:22 > 0:37:23Next lot, 158.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26The cased set of six silver cocktail sticks
0:37:26 > 0:37:31together with the silver Bridge pencils. £60.
0:37:31 > 0:37:3360 I'm bid. Five.
0:37:33 > 0:37:3570. Five. 80. Five.
0:37:35 > 0:37:3790. Five.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- 95. 100.- I can't deal with it!
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Ten. 120 now.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Come on, internet.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48At £120. Last chance at 120.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52£120 is minus 50.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Which means overall, you are minus 113.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59All your prayers have been answered(!)
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Seriously, that is bad luck. This could be a winning score.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05If things go really badly for the others.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- Don't say a word to the blues. - Wouldn't dare!- No.- Exactly.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13- I like your attitude.- We'll all meet in the confessional later!- OK!
0:38:24 > 0:38:26So, Hazel, David. Do you know how the reds got on?
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- No.- You don't.- Not a clue. - You won't want to know, either!
0:38:30 > 0:38:35- They didn't look very happy. - They didn't look happy? Well, that's the trouble, isn't it?
0:38:35 > 0:38:38So first up is the silver wine funnel.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40For a miser! Here it comes.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45Lot 174. The 20th-century silver wine or liqueur funnel.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47How do you value it? Come along.
0:38:47 > 0:38:4825 now.
0:38:48 > 0:38:4925. 30.
0:38:49 > 0:38:5135? At £30.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Make it five, internet. 38.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- You're in profit.- Yes!
0:38:57 > 0:38:59£40 in the room.
0:38:59 > 0:39:0042.
0:39:00 > 0:39:0242!
0:39:02 > 0:39:04At £42, then.
0:39:04 > 0:39:05On my right at £42.
0:39:07 > 0:39:1042 smackers, which is plus ten.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Lovely feeling. Liking your work.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Now, here comes the old bat!
0:39:15 > 0:39:17The late 20th-century signed cricket bat.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20There we are. Signatures include David Ward, Alec Stewart.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22£5 surely, for it.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Come along. At £5 bid.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26£5 only.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Do I see eight anywhere? £8 bid. Ten?
0:39:29 > 0:39:32- Come on!- £12 on the internet. At 12.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- 15.- £15.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35£18.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40At £18 all done?
0:39:41 > 0:39:43- 20 now.- 20?!
0:39:43 > 0:39:46£20. £20 bid. On the internet at 20.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51- What a score!- £20. That's plus five.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Now, cross your legs and hope for a profit on the last lot.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Next lot. Here it is.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- Lot 176.- A beautiful thing.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01- Beautiful.- Beautiful thing.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Oh, they're coming by ambulance!
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Against you all at £10.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- Ten?! He started at £10. I can't believe it.- 20 bid.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10And five. 30, sir?
0:40:10 > 0:40:1330 bid. May I say five?
0:40:13 > 0:40:1535. Bid 40.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19- £40 bid.- It's worth £100. It's immaculate.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22£40. 45 now. May I say 50, sir?
0:40:22 > 0:40:24At £45.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25Done and selling.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28- Minus £30.- That's a cheap lot.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31You had plus 15. You've lost 30.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33That means you're minus 15.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36So I think there's only one choice here, don't you?
0:40:36 > 0:40:39- We'll go with the bonus buy.- Do you feel one choice coming up?
0:40:39 > 0:40:41I think we were always going for it anyway.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43We're going with the bonus buy.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47Now you've decided to go with it, I can reveal his estimate,
0:40:47 > 0:40:49which is 100 to £120.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Charlie paid 70. This should be a licence to print cash.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Lot 180. There we are. Two near-matching pairs.
0:40:55 > 0:40:5818th-century style wine labels.
0:40:58 > 0:40:59I'd bid for those.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Where do we start? Got to be worth £10. Come on.
0:41:01 > 0:41:0410 bid. 15. 20 now?
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Five. 30. Five.
0:41:06 > 0:41:0940. Five, sir. 50?
