0:00:06 > 0:00:10Today, we're just outside Lindum Colonia -
0:00:10 > 0:00:13otherwise known as Lincoln.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16So, let's go bargain hunting - yeah!
0:00:41 > 0:00:43It never ceases to amaze one
0:00:43 > 0:00:47the number of antiques lurking around in all this tentage.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49What will our teams choose?
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Here's a quick squint as to what's coming up.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Today, the Red team prove quite lively.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- You girls are party girls.- We are. - We've got the afternoon party...
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- And we've got the night-time party. - We've got the night-time party.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I think we might be having a wee theme here.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And the Blues are a little bit...risque.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Are you ready for a shock? - Definitely.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Now look in the bottom.
0:01:17 > 0:01:23- Oh!- Very nice.- Wow!- What a treat.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- Good heavens - I like that! - I thought you might!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33But will their tactics bring in the dosh at the auction?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37125, 130 now. Let's make it 130.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39All that's to come.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41But first, let's meet the contestants.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49We have got a Mamma Mia of a programme for you today.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54For the Reds, we've got mother and daughter, Jenny and Jane,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56and for the Blues, we've got Lynda and Tina,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00- Hello, everyone. - ALL: Hello!
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Lovely to see you.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Now, Jenny, you are often mistaken for sisters, you two.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Yes, yeah. Well, yes, we are.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Which is lovely, isn't it? - Well, not for Jane, it's not.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11THEY LAUGH
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Well, I don't know. I think it's rather nice all round.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14You're good friends, too.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Very good friends. We're like best mates.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18You used to be a stand-in for somebody famous.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Yeah, Jane Seymour. - Did you, really?- I did, yes.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Now she's a Bond girl, isn't she?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Yes. I stood in for her on the Bond film Live And Let Die.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Yes - is that with Rodge the Dodge? - It is, yes.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Tell us about Harrison Ford.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Oh, yes. Well, that was a real bonus.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- I was standing in for an actress called Lesley-Anne Down...- Oh, yes.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40..on a film called Hanover Street.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42And there was a bedroom scene in the afternoon
0:02:42 > 0:02:46and Harrison said to his stand-in, "It's OK, I'll do this myself.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48"It's just laying in a bed."
0:02:48 > 0:02:51So his stand-in went home and I spent the afternoon in bed with Harrison.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Did you really?- And got paid.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Not many ladies can say that, though, can they?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58No, they can't, yeah.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Jane, you also have a bit of a glitzy, showbiz background.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Tell us about that.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Yeah, well, following in Mum's footsteps,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07I went to stage school down in London
0:03:07 > 0:03:10and through that, I was in Grange Hill -
0:03:10 > 0:03:12the children's programme -
0:03:12 > 0:03:15mainly as an extra, but it was great fun.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18And we also ended up working together on Octopussy.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Get away! - So that was really good fun.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24So what's your plan, your buying plan, between you today?
0:03:24 > 0:03:25I think we're going to try and go for,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- if we can, something functional. - Function.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Cheap.- Profit?- Yes, yeah.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32We've got all the right words here.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33Buy cheap, sell dear.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36You'll be fine, you two. Anyway, welcome to the show.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37- Thank you.- Good.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Now, Lyn, how did you meet your daughter-in-law?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Um, she'd been out on a date with my son, I'd never met her.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Came home with him and she walked in my house
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- and said, "Hi, I'm Tina. I'm going to marry your son."- Oh, Lord.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I said, "Over my dead body."
0:03:53 > 0:03:58And, uh...it took me about two years, I think, to realise I was wrong.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03- Right.- She was - is - an amazing wife and mother.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Oh, that's so sweet, isn't it?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Tina, you have an unusual job, don't you?- I do.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- What do you do? - I work with loads of men.- Do you?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- I work at an oil refinery.- Gosh!
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Yes, and out of about 25 men, I'm the only girl.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18- Right.- Which is fun.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I bet it is.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Your mother-in-law is looking rather nervous at this,
0:04:22 > 0:04:23I can tell you.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Have you worked out a strategy for today's programme?
0:04:26 > 0:04:27- Yes.- What it is?
0:04:27 > 0:04:28To win.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- Just as simple as that.- Yes.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Well, simplicity is everything. This is pretty simple too.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36£300 apiece - there's your £300.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38You know the rules, your experts await -
0:04:38 > 0:04:41off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Today, preventing the Reds from getting in a spin,
0:04:48 > 0:04:49it's Anita Manning.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Whilst helping the Blues to blow their own trumpets...
0:04:54 > 0:04:55TRUMPET TOOTS
0:04:55 > 0:04:56..it's Charlie Ross.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06OK, girls, we've got 300 quid, we've got a huge fair
0:05:06 > 0:05:08and you two girls know the ropes.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Do you have the same tastes, girls?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Absolutely not.- No.- Mine's good. - Yours is good?- Yeah.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- The daughter-in-law's isn't? - Absolutely not.- Mine's expensive.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19We're going to buy something cheap and make a lot of money.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- That's what we're going to do. - Buy cheap.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- You don't want to spend big money? - No, I don't think so.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Well, we'll see what happens. Let's go.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42With hardly any time gone, the Reds go straight into battle.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47That knocker you just picked up is quite nice, actually.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Uh-huh - you like that?- Yeah.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- It's functional.- Yes.- It's useful. - Do you think it's old?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57It's got a wee bit of age to it, but it's not a Victorian one.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- I suppose the price dictates it. - Yeah.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02'Scuse me? How much is your knocker?
0:06:02 > 0:06:03THEY LAUGH
0:06:03 > 0:06:05He's behind you.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Oh, right, OK.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07SELLER: I'd take £7 on it.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Right, OK.- How much is it?- Ten.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13That's a good price. I can see you making a wee profit on that.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- I'd go down to seven on it. - Really? Right, OK.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Thank you very much.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Well, Reds, it's early days, but keep on looking.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Will this condiments set cut the mustard for the Blues?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- That's gorgeous. - What do you like?- I like this.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Harrods.- Yes.- Yes.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42It has the right box. It's how much?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- £150.- Oh, no.- How much?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- No.- No.- I'm dancing.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Put it in the right hole, darling.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51I'm thinking more about 80.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Lovely box. - Harrods - I mean, that is superb.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57But I think you're right, price-wise.
0:06:57 > 0:07:03I think if they went to auction, it would make between £100 and £120.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06But I think if you're buying to make a profit...
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- That's us out.- No. - It's going to be tight.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Bear it in mind.- Thank you.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Sound advice, Blues -
0:07:11 > 0:07:14you're not going to yield many pieces of silver
0:07:14 > 0:07:15for those pieces of silver.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26I quite like these, you know. They're sort of...they're good fun.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I know you two girls are party girls.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Yeah, there's no room for wine bottles in there.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34No room for wine - you'd have to take them in your plastic bag.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39How much is your picnic set?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- SELLER: £30.- £30.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44You've got another one there, is that much the same?
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Yeah, just the same.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- Two flasks in that one. - This one looks...- Nicer.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52It's got a retro look about it.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57- Have we got a maker's name?- Brexton. - Uh-huh, that's a good make.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- We might have a little winner, here. - I like this.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- I think it's got a sort of 1950s'... that retro look.- Yes.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09And tea taking is big now that we've got cupcakes
0:08:09 > 0:08:11and everybody's opening up little shops
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- where you've got the china cups and saucers.- Yeah.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Cutlery's got "Brexton" on it as well.- Yeah.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Yeah, that's nice.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- What's missing, do you think? - A bottle of wine.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24THEY LAUGH
0:08:24 > 0:08:28So we've got four of everything here.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Your cups, saucers, tea plates here.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Do you like it? I think you're coming round to it.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Yes, yes.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Can you imagine yourself going for a picnic with it?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41You can take your mum and her boyfriend.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Which one?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I think that's quite good, that. How much is it?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- What's your best?- 25?
0:08:51 > 0:08:5225...
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Little bit less? - 20?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- 20...yeah.- That OK?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I think you've got a great deal there.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Shake that woman's hand.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06It's party time! It's party time...
0:09:06 > 0:09:10That's item number one, all wrapped in just 15 minutes.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Hatbox - how about that? - That is smashing.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- With a hat!- Wow.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28This girl can't resist a hat. She has to try them on.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Go on, whack it on.- Beautiful.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32The back of it...
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- I like hats. - She looks rather good in that hat.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39It's a lovely box, isn't it?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42It is. It's fantastic.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Look at that - "Dunn and Company of The Strand."
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Brushed silk hat - ho!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- They had small heads in those days. - I just said that.- Yeah.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I didn't think I had a big head.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56LYNDA SNORTS WITH LAUGHTER
0:09:56 > 0:09:58You haven't, my lady, you have a perfectly formed head.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59You are good.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03The thing about that is you simply can't fault it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04SELLER: 120...
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Cor blimey! Did you hear that?- I did!
0:10:06 > 0:10:10That came down 50 quid before I even did anything!
0:10:10 > 0:10:12It can't be £95, can it, sir?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Make it 100, and it's yours.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19While Charlie and his angels - ha! - are left speechless,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22let's catch up with the Reds, who are still looking for a drink.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- That is a nice thing.- It is nice.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30That's Victorian, possibly Elkington Plate there.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- The cut of the crystal is marvellous.- Yeah.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38This will be probably late 19th century.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41You see, you've got this lovely star cut in the crystal here -
0:10:41 > 0:10:44putting decoration underneath, where no-one will see it,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46is an indication of quality.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49I like the spout as well, with the face of the...
0:10:49 > 0:10:50It's quite dear.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52But the thing is, if you're going to spend money,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- you want to buy quality.- Yeah.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58And you can put something nice inside as well.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- You girls are party girls.- We are.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02We've got the afternoon party...
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- And we've got the night-time one. - And we've got the night-time party.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08I think we might be having a wee theme here.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10A theme running through.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Hello? Hello! It's another wonderful day.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Isn't it beautiful? Yes.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18I've got a couple of party girls here.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19THEY LAUGH
0:11:20 > 0:11:24SELLER: I can do £20 off, I can do it for 105.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26JANE: Can we not get it under 100?
0:11:26 > 0:11:31Yes, OK, I'll do it for 95. It's a little profit on that, OK?
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- That's lovely. Thank you very much. - Good luck.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36- Thank you so much.- Thank you.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37You're welcome.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Second buy for the Reds - I'll drink to that.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47With time ticking away, will the Blues take a shot
0:11:47 > 0:11:51at the Japanese rice wine, or sake, cup?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- That's pretty.- That's unusual - it's got a marble in the bottom.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Yes.- What is that?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Do you want to know?- Yes.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Hold that, my dear.- Certainly.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Are you ready for a shock? - Definitely.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Nothing can shock me.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Now look in the bottom.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18LYNDA GASPS
0:12:18 > 0:12:24- Very nice.- Wow!- What a treat. - Good heavens, I like that!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Yes, I thought you might!
0:12:26 > 0:12:29I think the less we say about that, the better.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Very good.- Very nice.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Excellent.- Cheers.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Oh, that's better, you can't see it now.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- So it's called erotica? - It's called erotica, yes.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- How much is it?- How much is it?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I would think it's priceless.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49By priceless, you mean it's not worth anything, right?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51An erotic sake cup.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- Do you think an auctioneer would sell such a thing?- Why not?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I think he would, because as long as there wasn't any liquid around,
0:12:58 > 0:13:02the liquid could be poured onto it in the privacy of your own home.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Definitely.- I rather like that.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09Hang on - I've just got to remind myself of what it was.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12It would be nice if it was for a man.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Charlie, it looks like you!
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- I beg your pardon?! - It looks like you!- Love it!
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Oh, goodness me.- Super.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23She's quoting £55.
0:13:23 > 0:13:29But I'm sure I can go and see her - you just stay there for two minutes.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- And I will go and see her with this. - OK.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- Super. I like that.- I won't be long.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Rapid negotiations required, Charlie,
0:13:38 > 0:13:40that's 40 minutes gone.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- That's nice. - Quite nice quality, isn't it?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51SELLER: That's 75.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56- That's, again, you've picked up a nice quality thing.- Hm.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- What is it? Is it ink?- Ink, yeah.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- It's an inkwell.- I like that.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02You like that?
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Your mummy likes this one.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07If you want to go for it, go for it, but I'm just thinking,
0:14:07 > 0:14:11how many people...use ink?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- People collect inkwells. - And people use them.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17< Just to go on a writing desk. I'm not saying they actually use it.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- I mean, a nice present, I think. - Yeah...how much is it?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22SELLER: 75.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- And to us? - Would you...could you go to 50?
0:14:27 > 0:14:32I can't, no, no. Em...I'd take 65, that would be the absolute best.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33That would be it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37JENNY: If we go a little bit further along...
0:14:37 > 0:14:40We know where you are - it's opposite the ladies'.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Yeah.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- LAUGHING:- Lovely!
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- OK, thank you, thank you. - Thanks very much.- Bye-bye.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Now, what price has Charlie negotiated for the sake cup?
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Right, girls...
0:15:00 > 0:15:02How have we done?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06This is your call, girls, because this is not antique.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11- OK.- It's not appealing to me, for obvious reasons.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- And it's £45.- OK.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I think this, at auction, could make 20 quid
0:15:16 > 0:15:17and it could make 60 quid,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20so it's a complete and utter gamble.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21- I like it.- I like it.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22We like a gamble.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I'm backing you up all the way, girls, if you want to buy it,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28but you have not got the C Ross guarantee of profit, there.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- But I think we've got the fun.- Yes. - And it's a gamble, and it's fun.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37While we're here - cos we're running out of time, fast -
0:15:37 > 0:15:40may I just point out one last thing for our last few minutes?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42That.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43I love it.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44It's got an amber handle
0:15:44 > 0:15:47and it's a miniature cooking pot...but it isn't.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Oh!- It's an inkwell.- Ah...!
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I think that, for a collector of inkwells -
0:15:54 > 0:15:57and you get collectors of inkwells - is the most glorious thing.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- I like that.- Yeah.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- How old is it?- 1930.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- How much is it?- It's £55.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11- OK.- It's not cheap. - Will she come down on the price?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- From 55? Don't know, but I'll try. - Yeah.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Hold on there...- I like that.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- You found something, Anita? - I bet it's in the party theme.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Oh, dear!
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- Cocktail or nibbles? - That is quite camp, isn't it?
0:16:33 > 0:16:34A bit different.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Is it, like, '50s or '60s? - Em, yeah.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41It's a million miles away from your beautiful Victorian carafe.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44It's a thousand miles and a thousand years away from it.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47But I thought that it was quite funky.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Yes.- Quite fun.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- I mean, we use these a lot at home. - Do you?- Yeah, yeah.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- How much is it - 45?- 45.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I think he might go to 38.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00With a push, I might get him to 35, but it's up to you.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02We're running out of time now, girls.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- I like that and I like the inkwell. - I would like to keep looking.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08We haven't got much time.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12I know, but we've got enough time to have a little look, haven't we?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14OK, girls, it's...
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Looks like it's going down to the wire with the Reds, too.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20This is nail-biting stuff.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- £55.- OK.- And that's it - there's no negotiating on that.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34And after all, it's nice to buy something you like.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Definitely.- Marvellous.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- And you're certainly happy with £45 with that.- Yes.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- So, 55, 45...- £100.- We've done it.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Two things bought in no time at all. Come on, girls - one more to go.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Yeah, but time is pressing on, so hurry up.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Oh, girls, I was just having a wee break there.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Have you made up your mind?- We have.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01We'll see if we can get a bit more money off the inkwell,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04go for that - and leave the snail picker for someone else.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06The snail pickers?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08OK, let's go.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- We better hurry up, girls.- I know.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Come on, Reds! Show some urgency, then.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18- Let's hope it's still here. - Ah, it's still here.- OK.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21The girls still quite fancy the inkwell -
0:18:21 > 0:18:23they see it as a classy item.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25What's the best you said you could do for us?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I started at 75, came down to 65, didn't I?
0:18:28 > 0:18:33Um...another fiver, if it helps. £60 would be the absolute best.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38- We'll go for it at 60. - Good, good, good - well done.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Thanks very much.- Thank you.- Thanks.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44The Reds have completed their hat trick of purchases.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53And the Blues are drawn back to a certain hat, also.
0:18:53 > 0:18:59- It's still here, waiting for you. It hasn't gone away.- Beautiful.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Look at that - original strap.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04It's by Dunn and Company,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06and even I have heard of Dunn and Company.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's very small, Charlie.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12They had smaller heads. It's as simple as that.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- I love...- Oh, I can't believe this.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- We have to buy it, now. - It's got your initials on, hasn't it?
0:19:18 > 0:19:19I cannot believe this.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22CG - what are my initials?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- My goodness... - "Charles Graham".
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Ah!- CG.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- This is my hat. - Made for you, obviously.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33I think, you know, it was made for me what I was about ten.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Uh...but it's got my initials on it.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38If ever there was something that said, "Buy it."
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Gentleman very kindly came down to 100 from 170.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I don't think I'd be rude enough to try and bash it any more.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I think £100 is super.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49We'll have it, my dear, if we may.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- That's very kind of you. Thank you. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Super duper.- Super.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Hats off to you, Blues.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58That's your third and final buy, with seconds to spare.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07OK, teams, we're out of time.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Let's flag up what the Red team bought.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14They paid just £20
0:20:14 > 0:20:15for the 1950s' picnic set.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Next, they decanted £95
0:20:19 > 0:20:21for the early 20th century claret jug.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Lastly, they signed over £60
0:20:25 > 0:20:27for the Edwardian glass and silver inkwell.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31OK, my bevy of beauties, was that a good experience or not?
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- Really good, great.- Was it? How much did you spent in total?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- £175.- Good, that's a proper amount of money.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41I'd like £125 of leftover lolly.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Thank you, Janie, that's great.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Here you are, Anita - £125, my darling.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46What will you do with that?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Well, this mum and daughter pair
0:20:48 > 0:20:53are a pair of wacky girls, wild girls, party girls.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57I'm going to go and look for the wackiest thing I can find.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59For which you are very well qualified,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01if you don't mind my saying.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Anyway, good luck, girls. Good luck, Anita.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Meanwhile, we'll check out what the Blue team bought, won't we?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10They splashed out £45
0:21:10 > 0:21:13on the saucy sake cup - ooh...
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Closely followed by the Victorian novelty inkwell for £55.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23And finally, they paid £100 for the silk top hat and case.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Tell me, team, which is your favourite piece?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Em, the erotica cup.- Is it? - Definitely.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32What is it that you particularly like about that?
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- Cos it's definitely for a woman. - Is it?- Yes.- I see.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- And you spent, in total, how much?- £200.- £200.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42£200 - that's a good sum, too. £100 of leftover lolly, please.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Who's got that?- Tina's got that.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Oh! Naughty...
0:21:47 > 0:21:49That's positively steaming. Oops!
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Dropped it...
0:21:50 > 0:21:52So would you, old fruit.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Anyway, good, there we go. Well done.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- That's OK.- Beautifully presented!
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Thank you very much, Charles.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01What are you going to do with all of that?
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Um...I think I'm going to buy a piece of silver.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Woo!- It's got to be. - It's got to be, hasn't it?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Good luck, girls. Go and have a cup of tea.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Good luck, Charlie.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Meanwhile, we're going to find something that I found
0:22:13 > 0:22:15very, very recently.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18In fact, you could positively describe it as being "mint".
0:22:23 > 0:22:26This is an unusual object for me to pick,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30because I'm not known for 20th century ceramics,
0:22:30 > 0:22:34character jugs, Royal Doulton and the like,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38and this thing is exactly that - a character jug.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42It shows a military gentleman with puffed up cheeks,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45slightly florid, pinkish complexion.
0:22:45 > 0:22:51His face is compressed. He's wearing a bearskin hat
0:22:51 > 0:22:55and has got a chinstrap of golden material.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57And the handle at the back?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59That's in the form of a horse's head.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03What's going on here? Is this a standard Doulton job?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Answer - no, it is not.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09A - it's made of porcelain, not made of earthenware,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12and if you turn it upside down, instead of a Doulton backstamp,
0:23:12 > 0:23:16you see the word, loosely scratched in, "Minto".
0:23:16 > 0:23:22Who's Minto? Well, he's a very interesting bloke.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25If you were in the civil or military,
0:23:25 > 0:23:29the plum job to have at the end of the 19th century
0:23:29 > 0:23:32would be to become Viceroy of India,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35which is exactly what Lord Minto did,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37except that before that,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39he was Governor General of Canada,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42and a successful Governor General he was too.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47When he was appointed as a military governor general,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50they made him Colonel-in-Chief of the Guards,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53the guards that guarded the governor.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57And the Canadian guards, like our Grenadier guardsmen,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59wear bearskin hats.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02So this shows the Governor General,
0:24:02 > 0:24:06wearing a Canadian guardsman's bearskin
0:24:06 > 0:24:09and I guess only a handful of these things
0:24:09 > 0:24:14would have been potted in Canada to commemorate a moment -
0:24:14 > 0:24:16perhaps in the guards' mess -
0:24:16 > 0:24:20when Minto was about to shove off for India.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21A tiny number,
0:24:21 > 0:24:25which makes this thing a very rare survivor.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Clearly, something that the dealer who was selling this
0:24:28 > 0:24:30had no idea about,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33because he sold it for £30.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34What's it worth?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Well, with all that slice of Canadian history
0:24:37 > 0:24:39and being rare,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41it could make a mint - ha!
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Like £500.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Eh, Minto?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50So, with all the items boxed up and shipped off,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52let's join them at the auction.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Well, this is fun, isn't it? We're back in Grantham.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Now I've been to Grantham more times than you've had hot lunches,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03mainly to see Colin, which is extremely nice.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- Colin Young.- Well, it's always good to have you here.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Lovely. Anyway, today for the Reds, we've got a bit of a mixture.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11First up, we've got the picnic set,
0:25:11 > 0:25:13which is a splendid example, isn't it?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Well, it's a standard Brexton, really.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19There's not a lot more you can say about it.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22There's so many collectors that want the vintage and that retro look,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26particularly when you go to things like classic car shows and that.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27You'll see everybody sat out the back
0:25:27 > 0:25:30and having their sandwiches straight out of one of these.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- What's it worth?- Well, I think that's probably about £25-£40.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Good. £20 paid, so they should make a profit on that.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Next is this claret jug,
0:25:39 > 0:25:43which I fancy is a good deal later than they thought.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Early 20th century to me, Colin, is 1910, 1920,
0:25:47 > 0:25:51and that sure as heck isn't late Edwardian.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- It's 1950s or '60s, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Moulded glass, not very good mounts
0:25:55 > 0:25:58and I'm afraid I don't rate it, do you?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Not highly, em... - I thought not. How much?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Well, I think £25-£40.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06I think you're absolutely right. They paid £95.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10There we go - 25 to 40 on top of £95 is a big old hole.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Talking about holes, how do you get on with this ink hole?
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Well...it's a bit of a plain Jane one, silver-mounted,
0:26:17 > 0:26:18but very, very plain.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22So your entry level price for this silver-topped inkwell is...?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Well, £25-£40.- There you go.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Pitch it at the right level and you'll get some interest.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29You're being very commercial about this.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Our guys paid £60.- Yeah. - They might get there.- Hm...
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- But it's going to be a struggle. - It really is.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Those two things, I think are a problemo,
0:26:36 > 0:26:38which means they'll need the bonus buy,
0:26:38 > 0:26:40which means we ought to go and have a look at it.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Now, Jenny, Jane -
0:26:43 > 0:26:45£125 of leftover lolly, you gave to Anita.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47What did you spend it on?
0:26:47 > 0:26:55Well, I bought this rather cracking 1960s' light fitting.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57You're a couple of crazy gals
0:26:57 > 0:27:00and I wanted to buy something crazy for you.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01What do you think of that?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04It's bright!
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Well, it's from the 1960s, so it's not an antique,
0:27:08 > 0:27:13but this type of thing is very popular with the cool kids
0:27:13 > 0:27:17and I hope there are a few cool kids out there today to buy this.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22- So do I!- It's made of orange plastic and I think it's rather splendid.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24THEY LAUGH
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Um, Jane, would you like to handle it?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Feel the quality of the plastic.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Oh, that's lovely!
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Are you speechless?
0:27:31 > 0:27:35I am a little, Anita, yeah. It's lovely.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37You don't need to say that it's lovely
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- if you think it's horrible. - It depends how much you paid.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I paid £70 for it.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- Right.- Right.- Right.- OK...
0:27:45 > 0:27:47THEY LAUGH
0:27:47 > 0:27:52- It's colourful. - It'll either fly...or sink.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54What's the prediction?
0:27:54 > 0:27:55I don't know!
0:27:55 > 0:27:57HE LAUGHS
0:27:57 > 0:27:59OK. Well, that's honest, isn't it?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01You don't have to decide whether you go with the bonus buy
0:28:01 > 0:28:03until after the sale of the first three items,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05but for the viewers at home, let's find out
0:28:05 > 0:28:07what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's lamp.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Well, Colin, I know you love a bit of 20th century design.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- I do.- Yeah?- Yeah, great fun!
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Go in your 1960s' house. - I like this sort of thing.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18I wouldn't think a lot of these survived, actually.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20I wouldn't have thought so, either.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24- So badly made.- I suppose, really, let's go with an estimate...
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Let's go for £10-£30 on it.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30OK - £70 was paid for this by Anita Manning
0:28:30 > 0:28:33who is very, very keen on 20th century design
0:28:33 > 0:28:35and who knows - she might be right.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Anyway, that's it for that.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Moving on quickly to the Blues, who've got a curious mixture,
0:28:40 > 0:28:44started off by the reproduction saucy sake cup.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Mm. Em, not really a lot you can say about that.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49You first look at it and you think,
0:28:49 > 0:28:51"Well, that probably is early 20th century, '20s, '30s."
0:28:51 > 0:28:54You see plenty of that sort of Satsuma style.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- Late Meiji stuff.- Very, very late.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01You look inside and have a look at the scene that's in there
0:29:01 > 0:29:03and it ain't of that period.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- It's '60s, '70s, isn't it? - '70s, yeah.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07It can be so deceptive.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09What's it going to bring? A bit of naughty fun.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10It is a bit of naughty fun
0:29:10 > 0:29:14and I suppose people are sensibly going to spend £10-£30,
0:29:14 > 0:29:17but I think beyond that, you'd be questioning your sanity.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- All right, fine - £45. - Hm...- I know.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21Next it's the novelty inkwell.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- Well, it's another saucy lot. - Exactly.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26- Look at that.- Nice interior.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27What have we got, then?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30We've got an enamelled interior to the miniature pan,
0:29:30 > 0:29:32- is that the plan with that? - It is, yeah.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33So you can put any colour ink in it.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Yeah. Not precious metal, though - copper.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Difficult thing to value, I guess.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Yeah. Again, I've just gone with £10-£30.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42It's a trinket, it's a novelty item.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Lyn loved it - £55 she spent.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47That's not low tens, that's mid-tens.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49That's another loss. What about the top hat?
0:29:49 > 0:29:51- Good item.- Dunn and Co.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Yeah - good maker, the condition's good throughout,
0:29:54 > 0:29:56the case is nicely waxed up...
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- A good decorator's piece.- How much?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01- I think £30-£50.- Good Lord.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02£100 they paid.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06This is a walking disaster front, this Blue team, you know.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08They're going to so need their bonus buy.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09In fact, let's go and have a look at it.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Now Lyn, Tina, this is the excitement.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17£100 you gave to Roscoe. Roscoe, what did you spend it on?
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Well, I was so frightened by you girls,
0:30:19 > 0:30:21I thought there's only one thing that's relevant here,
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- and that's to make a profit. - Absolutely.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26I'm not going to try and impress you with the object,
0:30:26 > 0:30:29but I will try and impress you with what I paid for the OBJECTS.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- Oh!- I bought some bits of silver, cut glass and silver.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37That is the prime object
0:30:37 > 0:30:41and that is a Victorian silver-topped scent bottle.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45It's 1890-something, cut glass, good condition,
0:30:45 > 0:30:46vacant cartouche on the top
0:30:46 > 0:30:50and I think that is worth £25-£30.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53And I paid £20 for all three.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56If we can't get a profit on £20 for those three, girls,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58then I will eat my hat.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- They're all hallmarked? - They're all hallmarked.- Right.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- And what do you think these will bring?- £40.- Double.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07I think I will double the money, girls.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09There's a prediction. You like the sound of that.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- Yes.- Bonkers not to go with the bonus buy.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15I think we've got a resounding thumbs-up there, Charlie, well done.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17But right now, for the audience at home,
0:31:17 > 0:31:21let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Charlie's little pots.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23OK, Colin, here's a bit of a challenge.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24- That one's got a dent in it.- Mm-hm.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28- That one's got a very badly bashed top.- Yeah.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- And that one's missing its spoon. - Yeah.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- All silver, but none of them match.- No.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I suppose it's one of those little composite lots
0:31:36 > 0:31:39that will have been bought, presumably, if it's the bonus buy,
0:31:39 > 0:31:42just on budget, hoping there's going to be a profit, so...
0:31:42 > 0:31:46He had £100 and he went out and bought these three.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Right - that means these must have been really, really cheap,
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- cos that is obviously why you would do it.- Yes.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54I suppose, really, as a group, nothing individually there
0:31:54 > 0:31:57that excites in any way, shape or form,
0:31:57 > 0:32:01but certainly you've got an aggregate value in there of £25-£40.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Perfect. That'll be his thinking, cos he only paid £20.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- Does it fill your heart with joy, the prospect of selling them?- No.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Excellent.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12I rather thought that would be the response.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14It's not exciting, is it?
0:32:14 > 0:32:18It's a commercial thing to do to make £5, £10, £15 profit,
0:32:18 > 0:32:20which is what the bonus buy is all about.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- But it's not excitement.- No.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Obviously, there wasn't the excitement
0:32:25 > 0:32:26to be found on the day, then.
0:32:26 > 0:32:27I guess not.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- God bless you, Colin Young. - Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34AUCTION ROOM CHATTER
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- So, girls, you bought the picnic set, right?- Yeah, we did.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- You glad you bought the picnic set? - Yes.- You should be.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Because his estimate is £25-£40 on your picnic set
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- and you only paid £20.- That's good. - That's good, isn't it?
0:32:50 > 0:32:53He's been a bit mean with some of these estimates.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57Otherwise, you've got the uranium orange plastic ceiling light
0:32:57 > 0:32:58to fall back on, OK?
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Now, OK. First up is your picnic set,
0:33:01 > 0:33:03here it comes.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Lot number 226
0:33:05 > 0:33:07is the Brexton picnic set -
0:33:07 > 0:33:10there we go, a very composite set, this one, in pretty good order.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Who'll start me at £60 for it? 60?
0:33:12 > 0:33:1430 to go, then, surely. £30, everybody.
0:33:14 > 0:33:1630, £30 to go, 30.
0:33:16 > 0:33:1820, if you like, £20, everybody.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19- Come on!- £20, anybody?
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Anybody at £20 for the Brexton?
0:33:20 > 0:33:2220 bid, two again now, £20 and two, now.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Look at what we're selling.
0:33:24 > 0:33:25£20 bid, two again now, do I see?
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- Broken even...- Two now, do I see?
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Are we all done? Two, surely?
0:33:28 > 0:33:3022, 22 bid. Five, bid of five.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Five bid, 28 now.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33At £25 bid, 28 now, surely?
0:33:33 > 0:33:36At £25, we're on the market at 25, any more bids?
0:33:36 > 0:33:38At £25 - surely 28 from someone?
0:33:38 > 0:33:41At 25, last call then, selling back here at £25...
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Lovely - plus £5.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Good girls, well done. That's excellent.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Now, the claret jug.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Lot number 227
0:33:50 > 0:33:53is the claret jug, this time. Nice mounts on it.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Who'll start me at £50? 50.
0:33:55 > 0:33:5740 to go, then. £40, anybody? 40?
0:33:57 > 0:33:5840? 30, who's first, now?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00£30 to go, 30?
0:34:00 > 0:34:0220 - £20 for this. £20.
0:34:02 > 0:34:0420 bid. Two now.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05At 20 bid, 22.
0:34:05 > 0:34:0625, five bid. 28, 28.
0:34:06 > 0:34:0730, 30 bid.
0:34:07 > 0:34:0932, 35, 35 - 38.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11- It's creeping...- Slowly.
0:34:11 > 0:34:1442. 45. 42, second row at 42.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16At 42 - is there five from anywhere else, now?
0:34:16 > 0:34:18At 42, last call, done and finished...
0:34:18 > 0:34:2145 on the net. 48 - 48 bid.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23- And 50 now, 50 bid.- This is good!
0:34:23 > 0:34:24Coming back with 50, surely?
0:34:24 > 0:34:2648, the bid's straight in front of me here.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29At 48 bid, last call, then. Done, finished at £48...
0:34:29 > 0:34:3348 is two shy of 50, which is 45 -
0:34:33 > 0:34:35that is minus £47.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37That's a big old lump, isn't it?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Which means overall, you're minus £42
0:34:39 > 0:34:41and you've got the inkwell now, stand by.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Cross your legs, girls.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46There we go, 228 showing next.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48This is the Edwardian crystal inkwell
0:34:48 > 0:34:50with a nice silver top on it there.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51Who'll start me at £50?
0:34:51 > 0:34:5350? 40 to go, then. 40?
0:34:53 > 0:34:5530, if you like. £30, anybody? 30?
0:34:55 > 0:34:57- £30 bid, and 32...- Come on!
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Who do I see now? £30 bid, two, now. 32, do I see?
0:34:59 > 0:35:0130 bid, 32, 35 on the book. 38.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- 38, 40.- Yes!
0:35:03 > 0:35:0642, now, 42. 45. 45, now, 45.
0:35:06 > 0:35:0848, 48 bid, 48.
0:35:08 > 0:35:1050, now, make it. £50. 50, sir?
0:35:10 > 0:35:1250 bid, 50 bid. I'll say two.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14At 52. Five anywhere else now?
0:35:14 > 0:35:16At 52 bid. Five - go on, have another one.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17At 52 bid, five anywhere else?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Surely? At 53, third row down here...
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Oh, dear. So close.
0:35:20 > 0:35:2355, 58. 58. Bid 60?
0:35:23 > 0:35:2658, back down here, a definite no this time.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Going, then, at £58...
0:35:27 > 0:35:31I can't bear it! £58 is minus 2.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Overall, then you're minus 44.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35So, that's the position.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38The financial position is in the red, Reds,
0:35:38 > 0:35:40to the tune of £44.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43So what are we doing? Are we going with the old orange doo-dah?
0:35:43 > 0:35:47Are we going to park it and hope that £44 is the winning score today?
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- It could be a winning score. - We're going to reject it.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- You're going to reject it - sure about that?- Yeah.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- Absolutely certain?- Yeah. - Don't need to phone anybody?- No.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57OK, we're selling it now anyway, so come along.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00We're not going with the bonus buy but we're selling it anyway.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Start me at £50.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06£50.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08£50.
0:36:08 > 0:36:1130...was that £50, madam?
0:36:11 > 0:36:13No? Why not?
0:36:13 > 0:36:14I said 50 pence.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Oh, you said 50 pence, did you?
0:36:16 > 0:36:18It's my hearing that's going.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Oh, dear. This isn't very Grantham.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Who's going to start me at 10 and we'll get on?
0:36:23 > 0:36:25£10, anyone? 10?
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Although it's looking like this 50p's going to be working.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Who's going to start me? A fiver, seriously. Fiver, anybody?
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Fiver? Yep, five in the room. Five bid in the room.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Six, now. £5 bid. Six now, surely.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38Six bid. Eight, now. Let's get on.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Eight bid. Eight bid.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Ten bid. Ten bid. 12 on the book.
0:36:42 > 0:36:43- This is good auctioneering.- Isn't it?
0:36:43 > 0:36:45He's a very good auctioneer.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48£18 bid. 20, now, do I see?
0:36:48 > 0:36:51At 18 bid. 20, now? At £18, are we all done?
0:36:51 > 0:36:53It's on the market at 18, surely.
0:36:53 > 0:36:5520 bid. At 20 bid, 22.
0:36:55 > 0:36:5825 - you're not going to find another one like this today.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59At 22 at the back of the room.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02At 22, is there five? Final call, then.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05It's on the market, it's going to sell at £22.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- It doesn't matter - matters not a jot, actually.- No.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11You're minus £44, you didn't go with the bonus buy,
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- that could be a winning score. - Could be.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15In which case, don't say a word to the Blues.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- No.- In fact, go out looking a bit cocky.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19THEY LAUGH
0:37:19 > 0:37:20- Yes!- Yes, that's marvellous.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Give them a bit of that, all right? Well done.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Lyn and Tina, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- No, we don't.- You don't know.- Nope.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Did they look confident when they came through?
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Well, they were waving and cheering. - Were they?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40That sounds like the girls.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44Anyway, let's have a little saucy cup of sake, shall we?
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Here it comes.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50Lot number 248, this is a Japanese erotica sake cup.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Who's going to start me at £10?
0:37:52 > 0:37:53£10, anybody?

0:40:06 > 0:40:08Tina, I laud you.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Anyway, that means that now you're only minus 40.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- Which is nothing, really.- Fabbo!
0:40:14 > 0:40:17OK, minus £40, girls. That's not too bad, is it?

0:40:19 > 0:40:21Are you going to have a punt at the silver-topped bottles?
0:40:21 > 0:40:23- BOTH: Yes. - Going to go with the bonus buy?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25- Yes.- You are.- Yes.- All right, fine.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Going with the bonus buy, then. Here come three little bottles.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29Let's see what happens.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31We've got three silver-topped items.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Got to be worth a tenner apiece, start me at £30.
0:40:33 > 0:40:3530? 30? 20 to go, then, surely?
0:40:35 > 0:40:36£20, anybody?
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Ten if you like, ten, straight in? Ten bid - 12 anywhere else now?
0:40:39 > 0:40:40At £10 bid. 12 now, do I see?
0:40:40 > 0:40:42At 12 bid, 15 now, do I see?
0:40:42 > 0:40:43At £12 bid, 15 now?
0:40:43 > 0:40:44At £12 a bid. 15, do I see?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46- At £12 bid, 15... - Don't be ridiculous!
0:40:46 > 0:40:47Come on!
0:40:47 > 0:40:49They're silver-topped, for God's sake.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51£5 each. At 12 bid.
0:40:51 > 0:40:5315, do I see, now? 15. 15.

0:40:57 > 0:40:5822, now? No.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00At £20, my bid's down here at 20.
0:41:00 > 0:41:01Out at the back.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Charlie's got a white face.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Selling at £20...
0:41:05 > 0:41:06It's yours, sir, at 20...
0:41:06 > 0:41:08£20 is what they've got - a white face.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- Yeah...- Which is the closest thing to a profit, Charlie.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:41:12 > 0:41:15You might get a slapped face, the way you're going on.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19OK, fine. So no profit, no loss on that.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Overall, you are minus £40,
0:41:21 > 0:41:23which could, as I say, be a winning score.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Don't say a word to the Reds
0:41:25 > 0:41:27and all will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:27 > 0:41:28You're good sports.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40Well, well, well. Look at these happy, smiling girls.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44Now, who's ahead and who's behind, eh?
0:41:44 > 0:41:45- Been chatting? - ALL: No...
0:41:45 > 0:41:49Look at the shine in their expectant faces.
0:41:49 > 0:41:50Such competitiveness.
0:41:50 > 0:41:55I mean, if I tell you that there's only £4 between you...
0:41:55 > 0:42:00I mean, how nail-bitingly edge of screen is that?
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Course, you haven't made any profit.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03THEY LAUGH
0:42:03 > 0:42:06That would be unheard of!
0:42:06 > 0:42:09So, we're both in a minus score situation,
0:42:09 > 0:42:14but the scale of the losses is very, very tight today.
0:42:14 > 0:42:15Very, very tight indeed.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19And the team that is marginally -
0:42:19 > 0:42:22and it is only a margin of four smackers -
0:42:22 > 0:42:25further down the losses stake is...
0:42:26 > 0:42:29..R...B...
0:42:29 > 0:42:30The Reds.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32THEY GROAN
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Minus £44, girls.
0:42:34 > 0:42:35Oh, dear!
0:42:35 > 0:42:40You didn't go with the bonus buy. If you did, you'd be minus 92.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41THEY LAUGH
0:42:41 > 0:42:44As it was, you avoided the bonus buy,
0:42:44 > 0:42:48you preserved your scaled-down losses, which were 44 -
0:42:48 > 0:42:50- which is not so bad, is it, really? - Not really.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- Never mind. You had a good time. - Fabulous.- Wonderful.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55You're a marvellous couple, you mother and daughter.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57- Thank you for coming on our show. - Thank you.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Now, moving on, though, to the victors,
0:42:59 > 0:43:01who managed to win by only losing £40.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Lyn, have you had a nice time, darling?
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- Fabulous time, thank you. - What was the best bit for you, Tina?
0:43:06 > 0:43:09- Me erotica cup.- Oh.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12- We're back on that again. - I wanted it.- You wanted it.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14- Good fun, hey?- Excellent.- Brilliant.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Marvellous - join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:43:17 > 0:43:19ALL: Yes!
