0:00:05 > 0:00:09Today we're in Detling, Kent, one of the Home Counties.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Let's hope that it's home to some bumper bargains for our teams today.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18So let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:41 > 0:00:45We're at the antiques and collectors fair at the Kent County Showground,
0:00:45 > 0:00:49and our teams have only got one hour to bag their three bargains.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52So let's have a quick squint as to what's coming up.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59It's a romantic kind of show today, as it's all kisses and flowers.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01The Red team are dealing out the kisses.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04I'll give you a kiss, how about that?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- That's worth another tenner, isn't it?- Thank you!
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Whilst the Blues are conjuring up the flowers.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Oh, look at that!- We've got a deal and a balloon.- There we go.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- But will it be heartbreak at the auction? Uh-oh.- Uh-oh!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Let's meet our teams, eh?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Well, on the show today, we've got two teams of friends.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26For the Reds, we've got Jackie and Dorothy.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And for the Blues, we've got Rick and Rodney.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- Hello, everyone! - ALL: Hello!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Lovely to see you. Jackie, how did you two become friends?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Well, I've known Dorothy for about 40 years.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40When she moved to Margate, she joined the Margate Operatic Society
0:01:40 > 0:01:43which I am a director and choreographer of.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46But basically, it was her husband.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Because he had all the talent.- Oh!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52If you know what I mean. She understands.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55It's amazing you've remained such close friends,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57after a statement like that. Good.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01It says that you're very much in the world of entertainment. You love it.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Yes, yes.- Tell us some more.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08Well, I started off a professional dancer at 14,
0:02:08 > 0:02:13I've been with Jimmy Wheeler, Bill Maynard, Tommy Steele, Adam Faith.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16And then my biggest thing was when I directed
0:02:16 > 0:02:20and put together the first half of the Norman Wisdom show.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21What was our Norm like, then?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Was he nice?- Oh, magic, lovely. Lovely chap.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Now, Dorothy, tell me, what did you get up to in your working years?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Well, my last job was I was PA to the local mayor.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I always said it was brilliant,
0:02:32 > 0:02:36because if you didn't like the boss, you got a new one every year.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Yes, that is a very good point, isn't it?
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- And how do you spend your time now? - Um, quite busy, actually.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44I... My main hobby,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47if you can call it that, is governor of the local academy.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- And I'm also secretary and treasurer of a local charity.- Quite something.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Anyway, I wish you luck with your shopping today.- Thank you.- Good fun.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Now, boys. Rick, tell me, how did you become friends with Rodders?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03We went to the same school together
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and we've been best friends 16 years now.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- What do you do for a living, Rick? - I'm a paper maker.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I make toilet tissue, yeah.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13So what do you do when you make this toilet paper?
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- What's your ROLL in it? - I'm actually a team leader.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- In charge of white shift. - You only do the white, then?
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- That's the most popular colour. - It is the most popular colour, yeah.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27What about hobbies, Rick? What do you get up to?
0:03:27 > 0:03:28I play a lot of darts.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- I also play a lot of online poker. - Do you?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32And a lot of live poker,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34so I'm hoping the old gambler in me comes out today.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Really?- I do like a gamble. - We'd better stand by for that.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Rodders, that's not your real name, Rodney, is it?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43No, my real name is Paul.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46The reason why it's Rodney, it's just a nickname from school,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49and unfortunately it's stuck and it's with me for ever.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- And everyone knows me as Rodney. - So what do you do for a living?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Are you down the old roll factory? - No, not me. No.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I used to work in the entertainment business.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Just nowadays, I do part-time children's entertainment.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- I'm also in a band currently called The Stress Monkeys.- Sounds cool.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Yeah, we tour pubs and clubs around Kent and Maidstone.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Now, tactics today, what's your plans?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Well, we've gone quite sort of civil about this, and diplomatic.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- I'm going to choose one. - I'll choose one.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Then we're going to have a joint one.- You going to blow the lot too?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- We're going to have a good go. - Hopefully, yeah.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Talking about the lot, here it comes, £300 apiece.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26There you go, Jack, £300.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31£300, you know the rules, your experts await. And off you go.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Lampooning for the Reds, it's Jonathan Pratt.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46And in tune with the Blues, it's Kate Bliss.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51So, ladies, here we are.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Anything you're after particularly today?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- I've got an idea what I don't want to buy.- A bit of silver.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02Vesta cases, pin cushions, and tea. You know, those boxes.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Right, OK, that's fairly specific. Not to buy!
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Toys, anything interesting. Shiny and it catches my eye.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Beautiful or interesting.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Definitely not boring. - Like you two ladies, then!
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Well, this should be all very straightforward, then.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22But it's a busy old fair with lots of ground to cover
0:05:22 > 0:05:24and hundreds of punters looking for bargains of their own.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Mind you, with only seconds of the 60 minutes gone,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Jonathan's already found a little something.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Do you like your Royal Worcester?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I said to him, my words were,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38we're not going to be able to afford to buy anything on your stall.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41What does he do immediately? "Well, of course you can."
0:05:41 > 0:05:44It's dated 1904. This could be something,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46he's asking £75 but you could do a deal on that.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- It's quite a cute little thing. - Will he do it for 40?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Would you take £40 for that? See, he would take it for £40.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- That's quite a sweet little thing, Royal Worcester.- It is nice.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58We can't just go straight in at 30 seconds and buy something.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02So we'll put that right there in the corner so no-one can see it.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Worth thinking about. - Come on then, ladies.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Positive start, girls. I can see you mean business.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Well, if it's a quick start for the Reds,
0:06:10 > 0:06:12then it's an early bath for the Blues.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Look at this.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- What is it, Kate?- It says here it's a Boer War officers' bath.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23- Look at that. Tin bath with its lid. - What would they do?
0:06:23 > 0:06:25So, this would have been carried around for the officer
0:06:25 > 0:06:28to have his bath in. It's quite a weight, isn't it?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Yeah. How much is that?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I knew you were going to ask that. 175 is on there.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- But it's a nice thing. - Lovely, interesting.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Let's have a look over here.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40At that price, I don't think it'll wash with the boys.
0:06:43 > 0:06:49Well, I found something lovely, but it was £695! I had to put it back.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57This little bit on the end here doesn't fit in with the rest of this
0:06:57 > 0:06:59and they're quite keen to get this lot away.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Right.- A pretty... - That's rather nice.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Pedestal bowl or centrepiece, I suppose you'd call it.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08It's made to look handmade, it has this planished, beaten finish.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12It's plated. It's rather pretty, that. It's modern.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14It has the sort of style of the, sort of,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- end of the 19th century about it. - Yeah.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20The man is mouthing over there, "And it's cheap."
0:07:20 > 0:07:22What's this show called?
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- Bargain Hunt.- Bargain Hunt, right. - 160, drop the hundred.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- I can do it for 40.- Whoo!- Whoo.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33He wants to get rid of it, so let's not stop there, eh?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Would it go for 25, then?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Would it go for 25?- No!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40That would be too much.
0:07:40 > 0:07:4230, what about 30?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- 30 is a deal.- £30.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I think we should go for that, then.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49I think that's a good buy for £30.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- I think so, lovely. Thank you very much.- That was very easy!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Yeah. Lovely.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- Gosh, there we are. Let's carry on. - Yeah, lovely.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Carry on indeed. First purchase goes to the Reds
0:08:00 > 0:08:02with barely seven minutes gone.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Now, you boys said you liked silver. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09This is actually silver plate rather than silver.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- But that is quite pretty, actually. This is a cruet stand.- Right.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15You literally put your vinegar,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17you've got a little mustard pot there.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Date-wise, these bottles are cut glass rather than moulded,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23so that's a sign of quality.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I would say the bottles are certainly late Victorian,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- early Edwardian in date.- And are they the original stops for them?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I think they probably are, yeah. The stoppers are matching.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37And I like the way they're faceted in the same way, do you see?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Rodders, can you see that on your table at home?- I don't think so.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42But I'd give it a go, I think we could put
0:08:42 > 0:08:44some olive oil in there, some balsamic vinegar.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- Obviously mustard.- No good for me, I'm a salad dodger.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51You're a salad dodger! Hamburgers and chips for Rick!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Put a bit of ketchup in there, bit of brown sauce.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55THEY LAUGH
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- Whatever takes your fancy, I say. - Whatever takes your fancy.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- And the price is? - We've got 55 on there.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Do you think we can get them down to 30?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Do you reckon we'd make profit if we get them down to 30?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Let's have a chat with them. Hi, there.- Hello.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11What could you do for us on the cruet?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13You've got 55 on the ticket there.
0:09:13 > 0:09:1555. Um...
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- 45 would be my very best.- 35.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Just for us.- Just for us. - It would have to be 45.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Profit, do you think, maybe a couple of quid?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Yeah, on a good day, I would say. - I'd go for that, wouldn't you?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Let's go for it, come on. - Have I persuaded you?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- I hope I've done the right thing. - We've got a tenner off it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Brilliant, first purchase.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Well done. Let's go.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Hey, that's my line.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Fear not, Kate, these boys are safe in your hands.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Right, so is that yours, or is that mine?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47We're going to do one yours, one mine. And then together.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49So is that going to be together, or yours or mine?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I'll take that one on. I like that.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Do you know, I think these teams are like-minded.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Because look what the Reds have seen.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58So, what is this?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It's Carlton Ware. Cruet set.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04It says it's silver, so presumably there's a silver mark on there.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Yeah. Should be.- And it's Chester...
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Oh, God, I can't read that.- 1923?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13But, it's £185. So...
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Yeah, but look.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Carlton Ware is a good pottery, porcelain factory.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22They're very decorative, they're quite fashionable in their colour,
0:10:22 > 0:10:26that lovely blue ground and these little beaded flowers.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29And you've got silver mounts on them, and it's presented in a case.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31So for your money, you've got quite a good...
0:10:31 > 0:10:33And it's got a little spoon.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- A little spoon. Well, I'd buy it myself.- You'd buy it yourself? Right.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- We'd need to get it a lot cheaper. - You'd have to, I'm afraid, yeah.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- I just think it's lovely. It's different.- Yeah.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48But it depends what price he's going to do it for.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50He's got a big smile on his face!
0:10:50 > 0:10:52You should flatter him more, see what you can do.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55We really like that, but we've got to make a profit at auction.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Yeah, I know, it's tough, isn't it? - You've got 185 on it.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- What would you do? - I'd need 150.- Can't do 125?
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Er...
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I'll come down another 10, you can have it for 140.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10You can think about it.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15Can I say, can you not go down to 125? I'll give you a kiss as well.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Oh, that's worth another tenner, isn't it?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Well, that's what I thought.- I can't go quite as low as that.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- 130.- 130.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27130, you've got to have a kiss. Thank you.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Looks like the deal's done, then?! Perfect.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Looks like we bought that, then, Jack!- Well, oh, sorry!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- It was sealed with a kiss. - Sorry, I should have asked you.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Are you happy with that? - Too late now.- I poked my nose in.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42No, that's the way it's done. Well done.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Right, we'll...- There we go.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Now it's my turn.- Yes, right, I'll shut up, now.- Thank you very much.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Great bargaining, Jackie. Done like a seasoned old pro.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55That leaves you one item left and still 40 minutes to find it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56This is going to be a breeze.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I'm going to hold this one back, restrain her.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- I said we'd have to tie her down. - No, don't be like that!
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Now, I'm going to take you, if we head down there.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10And then go right a bit.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Now, that's me all over. Slot machine.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- You a bit of a gambler, are you, Rick?- Yes, I am.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I've got a man room. My wife built me a shed
0:12:22 > 0:12:25down the bottom of the garden with my poker table, dartboard.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28So, what do you gamble with? Horses, cards?
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Cards, yeah, poker. Texas hold 'em. - Dangerous.- Can be!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Where's Jackie?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41The one thing she doesn't want is a tea box and I've found one.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- I'm looking at a tea caddy.- Oh!
0:12:43 > 0:12:45THEY LAUGH
0:12:45 > 0:12:48It appears a disagreement is brewing with the Reds.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- No, I don't like that.- You don't like it? I just thought...
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Doesn't ring my bell. - A bit different.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- What you get from the gift shop. - From a fair, yeah.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03I bet you don't like that, either, Dorothy. Folies Bergere.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09- Well, I don't mind it, but... - Limited edition, Folies Bergere?
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Oh, dear.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14It seems the Reds are no longer dancing to the same tune.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Meanwhile, those Blues are happy to roll along with Kate.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23Come over here, chaps. Now, these are '30s in date.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27I think quite nicely made. It's a nice coopered jug.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30The key thing is, though, that we've got a stamp here.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32And that is the maker, basically.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Who's a French chap called Geraud Lafitte.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41- The best cooperer, if you like, in France in the 1930s.- Oh, right.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45And you've got a little barrel here, which is the same, same name on it.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- 85?- Yes. But we might be able to do some talking.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- I actually quite like that. - I quite like that.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56It all depends on the price. And it might be good
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- to get the two together and put them in one lot, maybe.- OK.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Because they're by the same chap.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Shall we find out what price...? - Definitely.- What sort of thing
0:14:04 > 0:14:07could you do for us on these? If we...
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- we've got...- OK.- Two for 70.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Two for 70?- Two for £70?- Yeah.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18I mean, I would probably put 40 to 60 on the two
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- as an auction estimate. - The two together. Yeah.- I'd say,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25would you take the both for 55?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Do them both for 60.- 60. - Both for 60.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31What do you reckon, Rick?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35I'm a gambler, I say, yes. I quite like them, I like the look of them,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- I like the fact we can get both of them for 60 quid.- So you've got one.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Is this going to be on your shoulders?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Or is this going to be the one between us?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44I don't know, I want to get a toy.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- All right, we'll take this one between us.- Yeah, do you want to?
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- Deal? Bargain?- What are we doing, are we doing 60?- I think.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- What about 58?- 58, go on.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Yay!- We got a bargain there.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Brilliant, we'll take them.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- Thank you.- Shake your hand right now. Lovely, thank you.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Well done, fellas. Proving you can also drive a hard bargain.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07That's two apiece.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- How you doing?- Well, just having a look at paperweights.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12They're only £25 each which seems cheap.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Would this be something that you collect?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I have got a few paperweights, actually.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18There are collectors of these things,
0:15:18 > 0:15:21and the collectors' price will be here or it could be at auction,
0:15:21 > 0:15:22but it's going to be the same price.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- We can do you deal a deal on the lot, though.- On the lot?
0:15:26 > 0:15:30You'd sell us all five? Oh, he'd sell us all five, now it's talking.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Do you like the paperweights?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Yeah, I've got four more at home if you want to add them!
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Are they from Scotland?- Yes. - They are?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Before you make up your mind,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41can you come and just look at one other thing?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Let's just find out what he would do them for.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Seems Jackie can't wait to steer the shop in a different direction.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51I can do you exactly 100 for the five.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- We'll think about that.- You'd be happy at 70, wouldn't you, for five?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Yeah, I'd want to come down a lot more.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01We've got lots of time, so we can come back. Thank you.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- What is it, go on, lead the way. - What have you seen?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- This is the one I like. - You said cats.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- You've got three cats, haven't you? - It's a tiger.- It's still a cat.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21I think it's lovely. It's just a bit... Who am I to say?
0:16:21 > 0:16:26It's not my turn, unfortunately. So I can't buy it.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Well, at least we all agree on something.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31They are on fire when it comes to shopping.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33They are buying and buying quickly.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37But when I say they, what I mean is...Jackie is on fire.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Great, it's going great. Fine. We've only got one more object to find.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46So... But everything I like is too expensive.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I've seen some really nice things that we can't afford.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I'm going to keep looking, hopefully find one that is affordable,
0:16:52 > 0:16:54but probably glass.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Well, Rodney. I think I've found you a toy.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04What do you reckon about that? Pelham Puppets.
0:17:04 > 0:17:10- If it's got all the strings, that may be...- What you were looking for.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Yeah. There's the instructions.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Don't get it out, just in case you break it.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18You know how clumsy you... That's why they call you Rodney!
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Here's Kate.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Hi, guys, what have you found here? - Pelham Puppet.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Looking over here, Pelham Puppets, Rick actually saw it
0:17:25 > 0:17:27and I came along because I wanted a toy.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29You do really want a toy, don't you?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31This certainly fits the bill on that front.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34When it comes to puppets, and British manufactured puppets,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Pelham is the name to go for.- OK.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41Let's just have a little condition report on the actual piece.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- Isn't he great?- Yeah, see? - If anyone can work that, you could.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I could pull a few strings!
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Do you use puppets when you're doing your kids' entertainment?
0:17:50 > 0:17:54A couple, yeah. Nothing like this, only mainly hand puppets.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56There we go. Now he's sitting a bit better.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59It does look really nicely crafted and that.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04I would say, in date, he's probably '50s. Let's ask our stall holder.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Because we haven't got a price on here.- That's true.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- There is, there's one on the inside. - Oh, is there?- 75.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- Hi there, madam. - I notice it's 75 on the box.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15What's the very best offer you can do?
0:18:15 > 0:18:20Well, since I'm being very kind and generous today, 65.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21- 65.- 65.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23We'll do 60,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26and he'll make you a nice balloon flower as a special thank you.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Can't really go wrong, can I? But...
0:18:30 > 0:18:33How about saying, "Please, Mary," very nicely.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Please, Mary? Very nicely?
0:18:35 > 0:18:40- At £60, I think you've got a chance. And you love it.- I really like it.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- This will be my buy, you've had your buy, got together.- Done together.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- So I think we should do it. - I think we should do it, yeah.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- You'd better stump up this flower, then.- OK.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52DRUMROLL
0:18:59 > 0:19:04It's not going to pop! And finally, this goes in there.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09- And you have a beautiful flower. - Oh, look at that!- Thank you so much.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- It's made your day now, Mary. - Made my day.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Can I have one?- Of course you can.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Good stuff, Rodders!
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Let's hope that any fools and Pelham horses work out at auction.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22So, with less than 10 minutes left,
0:19:22 > 0:19:25have the Reds picked up the scent of their final buy?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Well, let's dig it out.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Can we, can we get at it?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Not keen, eh, Jack?
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Piece of decorative glass.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38I mean, the way it's made I think is fairly straightforward.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- So it's, essentially, a nice piece of...- Is it modern?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Well, course it is. Yeah.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47You know, but do you think you're going to make money on that?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50If we could get it a little bit cheaper, I do.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52If we get it for 15 quid, you might.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58What would be the best price you could do on this?
0:19:58 > 0:19:5930.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02There could be a profit in it. There could be.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- But you really don't like it? - Do you not like those two?
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- They're a bit unusual shape, aren't they?- What do you think?
0:20:11 > 0:20:12I'm not 100% convinced,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I don't really want to get something that Jackie hates.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18No, don't worry about that. Have it if you want it.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20You're going to go for it? Bit of a punt.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I think that's a very wise decision, because it's your decision.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25You've done a very good job, you've worked very well together
0:20:25 > 0:20:27in the sense of...
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I've given in to her, and she's given in to me.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31There we are. OK, well done, ladies.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34That was, that was, that was... that was great fun.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38That's the secret of a great friendship, compromise.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Time's up!
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh? Is your number up?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I hope not!
0:20:46 > 0:20:50They beat out a great price for the silver-plated tazza for £30.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Next, they, or rather Jackie,
0:20:54 > 0:20:58shook hands at £130 and one smacker for the Carlton Ware cruet set.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00And to finish,
0:21:00 > 0:21:04they agreed to disagree on the blue glass bowl bought for £30.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I say, all that running around indoors, and we caught up with you.
0:21:10 > 0:21:16- Always disappearing!- Oh, sorry. - No, doesn't matter a scrap.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- Which is your favourite piece? - Um, the condiment set.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23The condiment's your favourite. What about you, Dottie?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- I like the condiment set as well. - You do? Good.- It's beautiful.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29We are of one mind here, which is great.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31And which piece is going to bring the biggest profit, Dorothy?
0:21:31 > 0:21:36- I think the silver-plated dish. - The silver-plated dish.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Do you agree with that, Jacks? - No, no.- Oh.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- I think it will be the condiment set.- Nice and spicy.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- OK, how much did you spend altogether?- 190.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46You spent £190, that's good.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- I'd like £110 of leftover lolly, please. Thank you.- There you go.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Lovely. Right, then, a nice little wodge for you, JP.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- What are you going to spend it on? - Tim, I'm just going to...
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Just going to go with the flow? - He's going to wing it.- Who knows?
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Whatever you do, don't toss a coin.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Anyway, girls, go and have a nice cup of tea.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Jonathan's going to do whatever Jonathan's going to do
0:22:05 > 0:22:07while we go and check out what the Blue team bought.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11They got all saucy over the four-bottle cruet set for £45.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Hot on its heels,
0:22:15 > 0:22:20they enjoyed a double in the form of the two coopered barrels for £58.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Finally, they bought the 1960s Pelham Puppet pony for £60.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Trot on!
0:22:28 > 0:22:31OK, you likely lads. How was it, then, your shopping?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33It was all right, we enjoyed that. Yeah, it's good.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35What was your favourite?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38The puppet that we saw was... and it had the instructions,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- the box, perfect. - Personal favourite?
0:22:41 > 0:22:42The barrels. I like the barrels.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Are they going to bring the biggest profit?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- I think so.- You think they will, you're agreed on that.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- And how much did you spend altogether?- We spent £163.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56- Did you? So I would like £137 of leftover lolly.- There we are.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Which is a good old wodge.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Now Kate, tell me, did they behave themselves, these two Rs?
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Do you know, they were charming.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06And they were real treat to go round with. We had fun, didn't we, fellas?
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- We did, yeah.- Well, you can do a bit of polish up for that.- We could do!
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Anyway, tea now... chase off, Kate Bliss.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Meanwhile, I'm heading off to Canterbury.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21Now, what did you ever know about Thomas Sidney Cooper? Nothing?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Well, you're about to find out a whole lot more.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30The Beaney House of Art and Knowledge
0:23:30 > 0:23:34has stood in the heart of Canterbury since 1899.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38The neo-Tudor-style building was funded by local benefactor
0:23:38 > 0:23:43Dr James George Beaney, and today, it houses a number of collections
0:23:43 > 0:23:47including a series of paintings by local artist, Thomas Sidney Cooper.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Cooper is celebrated
0:23:54 > 0:23:59as the foremost English cattle painter of the 19th century.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03He was born here in Canterbury in 1803
0:24:03 > 0:24:06and, unusually for his time,
0:24:06 > 0:24:11he had an extraordinarily long and fruitful life,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15dying in 1902 at the age of 99.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19There's the full range of his works here on display,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22and it is a collection of national importance.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Famed also for painting landscapes,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Cooper began exhibiting in London in 1833.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32He became a regular contributor to the Royal Academy,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35with a record of 69 years
0:24:35 > 0:24:38of continuous annual exhibitions.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Now, that's impressive.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49And to tell us more about Cooper is curator here at the Beaney,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Krystyna Matyjaszkiewicz.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Now, this large work beside us
0:24:55 > 0:24:59is particularly apt for the burghers of Canterbury, isn't it?
0:24:59 > 0:25:02This painting of Canterbury
0:25:02 > 0:25:04was commissioned by the Canterbury Corporation
0:25:04 > 0:25:08for Canterbury Museum, for the predecessor of the Beaney.
0:25:08 > 0:25:14And this is the arch-typical Cooper picture, isn't it?
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Of cattle, in a landscape, and this is the outskirts of Canterbury
0:25:18 > 0:25:21with Canterbury Cathedral in the distance.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26- And can you date it particularly? - We know that he painted it in 1835.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29But at that time, he was painting it from memory.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31He was living in London, painting it from sketches.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36So in fact, the view of Canterbury isn't exact as it was then.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38There was work being done on the cathedral
0:25:38 > 0:25:41that he hasn't actually recorded in his painting.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44But it's the view of the meadows, the water meadows,
0:25:44 > 0:25:45just outside Canterbury.
0:25:45 > 0:25:51We've got cattle here crossing with a mixture of cows, bulls,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54there are calves, goats, sheep.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- And a donkey.- And a donkey, yes!
0:25:57 > 0:26:02It's marvellous, isn't it? So, this is very much Cooper's style.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04And it's a style that turned out to be commercially
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- very successful for him throughout the 19th century, didn't it?- Yes.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10He was enormously successful,
0:26:10 > 0:26:14because once he started painting these views of cattle
0:26:14 > 0:26:17in pastoral landscapes, they were just the sort of thing
0:26:17 > 0:26:20that was lovely to hang in your dining room.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22A very liveable-with picture.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26And a landscape that was changing very much at the time,
0:26:26 > 0:26:31because the 19th century is a time of great change, industrialisation.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35So he became particularly popular with wealthy industrialists
0:26:35 > 0:26:37who were building collections of art.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Although he did say he would have liked to paint other things,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46and there are a few other types of things that he does paint.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Really, that became the thing that every collector wanted to have,
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- one of those in their collection. - And he made his living out of it.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53He made a very good living.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56And what I think is so marvellous about Victorian artists is,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59particularly when they come from a humble background,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02they have to earn their crust and support their family
0:27:02 > 0:27:06and do all the things that anybody else does in a job.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09And when you get into something that you can paint really well,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12I don't blame them going on and on and on
0:27:12 > 0:27:15producing the same wonderful images.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Yes.- I think it's perfectly fair and reasonable.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Krystyna, thank you very much for telling us all about the great man.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Meanwhile, why don't we find out over at the auction
0:27:25 > 0:27:27just how bullish the teams are going to be?
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Gosh, this is a mixture.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40But nothing that the Canterbury Auction Galleries,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43almost slap bang in the middle of Canterbury can't handle,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46with our old friend, Michael Roberts. Michael, good morning.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Good morning, Tim. - First up, then, for the Reds,
0:27:48 > 0:27:53we've got the tazza that is trying incredibly hard
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- to look like something that it isn't.- Absolutely, yes.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59It's got a Georg Jensen feel about it, hasn't it,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01it's got that planished body.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05But it's actually by a firm called Gero from the Netherlands.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Silver-plated, it's a decorative thing,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09but not of any great consequence.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12But that by Jensen, dating from the '30s,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- is worth a couple of thousand pounds.- Absolutely.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- So you've got the look for how much? - I would say between £40-£60.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- Thereabouts.- Good. If you're going to buy the look, then it's a bargain.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Isn't it? Particularly if you can get it for £30,
0:28:25 > 0:28:28which is what our lot did, that's very good.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Bravo. Next is the Carlton Ware.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- Very unusual mixture of ceramic and silver.- Yes.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37What's to criticise about it?
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Not very much, it's a very nice thing as a little set.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42Definitely got the look.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46I don't think I've ever seen a Carlton Ware cruet
0:28:46 > 0:28:50- quite like this, have you?- No, I haven't. It's a very nice thing.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54I see it being, sort of, 70-100, perhaps a little bit more than that.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- It needs to be a little bit more. 130 is what they paid.- Fine, OK.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Anyway, a nice and interesting lot. - It is.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Which is more, I think, than can be said for the final lot,
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- this piece of glass.- Yes.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09- I mean, it's quite a nice thing, it's not damaged.- Absolutely.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11It's a little statement in a house.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13There's nothing particularly special about it.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16I see it being £10 or £15, thereabouts.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- OK, £30 is what they paid.- OK.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21I think overall, this team have bought
0:29:21 > 0:29:23- really quite wisely. - It's not too bad.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25They're attractive things, they should do well.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28In case they don't, let's go and have a look at the bonus buy.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31OK, now, Dotty, Jackie. This is the moment.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35You've spent the £190 which is magnificent, I'm so proud of you.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38You gave the boy £110.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40JP, what did you spend it on?
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- Well, I thought, working with such a couple of dishy ladies...- Hey!
0:29:44 > 0:29:47You'd buy a dish!
0:29:47 > 0:29:51So here we have a lovely porcelain dish, made in Germany, in Dresden.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Hand-painted, little vignettes of flowers
0:29:54 > 0:29:56in a nice little gilt border.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57I suppose in some respects
0:29:57 > 0:30:00the only thing you might say brings the value down a little,
0:30:00 > 0:30:03there's a bit of wear on the gilding whatnot,
0:30:03 > 0:30:05but who cares, cos I didn't pay very much money for it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07- How much did you pay for it? - I paid a tenner.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- Wow!- £10. That's brilliant.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Magic.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14It's a guaranteed profit, I would say.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- I would see it making... - It's a pretty thing, isn't it?
0:30:16 > 0:30:20It'll make £30, perhaps. £35-30, I would say.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22For a tenner, you can't go wrong.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23You can't go wrong.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27I think you've got two well satisfied customers here.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28Absolutely.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- I think they think you're marvellous.- I do.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- Well, we do.- We all do!
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- It's cos he's so young. - Is that what it is?!
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- It's all with youth? - When you're ancient...
0:30:38 > 0:30:41We all hail the youth! Anyway,
0:30:41 > 0:30:43for the audience at home, let's find out
0:30:43 > 0:30:45whether the auctioneer "hails the youth".
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Well, there we are, that's a pretty standard little bit of Dresden.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54All the typical features you'd come to expect with this sort of ware.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Augustus Rex, AR-marked,
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Dresden standard sort of mark on the back, there,
0:30:59 > 0:31:02and I suppose it is quite decorative, but, obviously,
0:31:02 > 0:31:04it's a saucer so it's missing the cup
0:31:04 > 0:31:06of whatever shape it may have been.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07Just the saucer. How much?
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Consequently, I would think £20-30.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Bravo, JP.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Paid £10, so that should turn a profit if they decide to go with it.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Excellent. Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22Now for the Blues. Similarly interesting and different.
0:31:22 > 0:31:23Absolutely.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- The standard four-bottle cruet in a plated frame.- Yes.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Good thing about it is the fitments appear to be original,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32which often they're associated.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36The stoppers appear to be original and everything appears to match
0:31:36 > 0:31:38and is generally in a reasonably good condition.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39OK, how much?
0:31:39 > 0:31:43I would have thought somewhere between £50-70.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Well, they'll be delighted. They paid £45.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51Next is the coopered oak little pitcher and barrel set.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- Yes.- Which has got this stamped mark, hasn't it?
0:31:54 > 0:31:56It presumably means something.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Gerard Lafitte is the name of the maker
0:31:58 > 0:32:01and well known, actually, as a maker of these coopered barrels
0:32:01 > 0:32:02and if you look elsewhere,
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- you can find quite a lot on the market at present.- Really?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07How much?
0:32:07 > 0:32:09- 80-120.- Gosh, that's great.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- £58 paid.- That's not bad, fine.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Oh, I'm getting encouraged by this now.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Are we going to make this a hat-trick of good estimates?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19What about the Pelham Puppet?
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Well, there's a good collecting base for Pelham Puppets,
0:32:21 > 0:32:23and I think there's nothing wrong with it.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- It's in good overall condition. - It's got the box.- It's got the box.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28A few instructions.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Anyway, good, so estimate.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- I think that's £30-50.- Oh, dear, there had to be a downside.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38£60 paid, so that might be the object that drags them back.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39I think it may well, yes.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42And if it drags them back too much, they'll need a bonus buy,
0:32:42 > 0:32:43so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Now, Rick and Rodney, this is exciting.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48You gave Kate £137.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50She's very canny when it comes to this stuff.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- Good, good.- Kate, what have you spent the 137 on?
0:32:52 > 0:32:56Well, I got thinking about the Pelham Puppet, cos, Rodders,
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- you were really struck on getting the toy, weren't you?- Yeah.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02I thought, when Bob Pelham started the Wonky Toys,
0:33:02 > 0:33:04which was the start of Pelham Puppets,
0:33:04 > 0:33:07he made an awful lot of donkeys and horses.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08- Really?- OK.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11So I thought, "Perhaps we need something to help your horse along."
0:33:13 > 0:33:18- So...- Ah, another one. - ..I came up with another one.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- Brilliant!- In its box. Yellow box means '60s,
0:33:21 > 0:33:26date of manufacture. The lid goes over to you, but this one
0:33:26 > 0:33:30is a little bit more unusual,
0:33:30 > 0:33:34- because this one is the schoolmaster.- Oh, excellent.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- I like it.- It's giving a little wave.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38How much was that for, then, Kate?
0:33:38 > 0:33:42- Well, I paid £20.- Oh, right! OK.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Well, what we're going to have today,
0:33:44 > 0:33:46I tell you, is a Pelham Puppet fest.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47Yeah, excellent.
0:33:47 > 0:33:52Let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the number two puppet.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Well, you're not going to believe this,
0:33:54 > 0:33:57but the Bliss has gone out and had a second chew at it.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Now, this is going to test you, Michael,
0:34:01 > 0:34:03but it seems pretty well to be there.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Do you think this one is any better than the other one?
0:34:06 > 0:34:08I would say slightly worse, really.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11I would have thought that the horse would be more collectible.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13OK, so what's your estimate?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16I think probably the same as the last one, really, £30-50.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- OK, well, Kate, this time round, paid £20.- Oh, great.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23So they're definitely getting cheaper, and we have a graveyard now
0:34:23 > 0:34:26of Pelham Puppets to offer in just a moment.
0:34:26 > 0:34:27- Good luck.- Thank you.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38Now, girls, how happy are you on a scale of one to 10?
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- Nine.- Nine?- Oh, I'm about a 15!
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Are you really? Why are you only a nine, then?
0:34:44 > 0:34:48- Are you unhappy about something? - No, I've just got to liven up!
0:34:49 > 0:34:53- It's been a long wait. - OK, gin and tonic helps.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- Absolutely! - Now you're talking some language.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Now, the circular tazza, our Jensen lookalike,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01is coming up next and here it comes.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05The Dutch silver-plated tazza, starting at £25. £30?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07£30 where? £30, I'm looking for.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09At the back, 30. I'll come back to you.
0:35:09 > 0:35:1130, 35.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12I'll come to you know. Standing, thank you.
0:35:12 > 0:35:1540, 45.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- No?- Look at this, girls - £45.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Surely worth 45. Any further interest at 45?
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- 45 standing.- Come on, someone.
0:35:24 > 0:35:2550 bid.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- 55 behind.- Good man.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29- He's a good auctioneer. - No, thank you, though.
0:35:29 > 0:35:3050 with the lady. Online and out.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34Nothing on the phone, so I'm going to have to sell to £50.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Plus 20. Well done, Jonathan. Well found.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- Brilliant.- Now, Jackie, this is your Carlton Ware cruet.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Lots of interest in this. Great thing starting at 60.
0:35:44 > 0:35:4660 on commission.
0:35:46 > 0:35:47Who's 65?
0:35:47 > 0:35:4970, 5,
0:35:49 > 0:35:5180, 5,
0:35:51 > 0:35:5290 and 5,
0:35:52 > 0:35:54100 and 10,
0:35:54 > 0:35:55120,
0:35:55 > 0:35:57110 with you, 120 where?
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Who's 120? Fresh bid.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00130, sir.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01With you, 120.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03- 130.- Good man. Yes!
0:36:03 > 0:36:04- Fantastic.- 150.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06He's not related to you, is he?
0:36:06 > 0:36:08No.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Looking for 150. Back in, 150.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13160, 170.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Thank you, though. 170 on the internet, back in.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18With you at 160, then. Any further bids?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Looking for more, as always,
0:36:20 > 0:36:23as is my role here. 160, though, with you.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24I will sell it at 160.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28160, well done, girls. Wasn't that good?
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Clever thing, you. And you thought you were going to lose a fortune?
0:36:31 > 0:36:33You've just made £30, love.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34- Wonderful.- Fantastic.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38Good, good, good. Now, here's the blue circular bowl.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Useful bowl for your kitchen for your fruit.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42228 and commission interest.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45£30 on commission, straight in. Who's 35?
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- £30.- I thought it would only make 10.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Surely worth £35. Anyone at 35?
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- Go on.- 35. 40?
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- 45.- You've got a profit on each lot.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00THEY EXCLAIM
0:37:00 > 0:37:02£45, anyone at all?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05I think he feels sorry for us, poor old berks.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Still selling at £40.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Who would have thought that? Great, plus 10.
0:37:10 > 0:37:16Yeah, plus 10, which makes you plus £60, you clever two.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- I cannot believe that.- 60!
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Anyway, you've got the 60 smackers.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22What are we going to do about the bonus buy,
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- that old saucer? - We're definitely going to do it.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28OK, Dot, OK, Jacks, the decision's made,
0:37:28 > 0:37:31we're going with the bonus buy and here comes the old saucer.
0:37:31 > 0:37:37So, Dresden design, with the floral sprays and the courting couples.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40So who's going to start me off at £10?
0:37:40 > 0:37:4120, even better.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44£20 on the live auctioneers' platform.
0:37:44 > 0:37:4520!
0:37:45 > 0:37:46£20 bid.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50Who's 25? Thank you. 30.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Who's 30? Anyone at all?
0:37:52 > 0:37:54£30.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55Any more bids?
0:37:55 > 0:37:57If not, I will have to sell at 25.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- £25 is plus £15.- That's magic.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- It's not all the rage, but that's brilliant.- Yeah.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- So that means, girls, you are plus 75.- I can't believe that.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10The big thing is you don't want to depress the Blues...
0:38:10 > 0:38:11- No.- ..so don't say a word.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Absolutely. We'll look miserable.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Yeah, schtum.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Schtum.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Lovely, thank you very much.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Rick, Rodney, been talking to the Reds?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- No.- No.- They're very chatty, those girls.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Not to us on the way out, they weren't.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33They're perhaps covering something up.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- You never know.- But they're lovely, chatty girls, aren't they?
0:38:35 > 0:38:36Yeah, they're all right.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40You've got that cruet, which is your first item. You paid £45 for that.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45- 50-70 is his estimate. He likes it, it's in good condition.- Oh, good.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Here comes the cruet.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50The silver-plated, four-division cruet,
0:38:50 > 0:38:53so start off, £50 on commission.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55- Looking for £55. - Great!
0:38:56 > 0:38:57Good thing.
