0:00:03 > 0:00:07Today we've come to the east of England, to Norfolk.
0:00:07 > 0:00:13Not so much as to look at the man-made wonders like the Broads
0:00:13 > 0:00:17but to find some man-made wonders of our own.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:49 > 0:00:53It may surprise you to know that pool frogs, here in Norfolk,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56have their very own local accent.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00And let's hope that none of our contestants croak either.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04The Reds need to make a panic phone-call.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Could you ring him really quickly? Please!
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- I will ring him really quickly.- Really quickly!
0:01:11 > 0:01:14And the Blues are lining up for an identity parade.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19- There is, isn't there?- There is, there is, I can see it.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22I see the smile and the skin tone...yeah!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:25 > 0:01:31On the show today, we have two teams of married couples who also
0:01:31 > 0:01:35know each other and co-incidentally are also friends, which is lovely.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38So, for the Reds we have Alwyn and Rita
0:01:38 > 0:01:40and for the Blues it's Claire and Richard.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- Hello, everyone. - TOGETHER: Hello, Tim!
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Very nice to see you.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Now, Alwyn, you have been married for more than 30 years,
0:01:46 > 0:01:47how did it all start?
0:01:47 > 0:01:51When they rationed petrol, which was back in '73 and I worked as
0:01:51 > 0:01:55a BT engineer at the time. So, I cut off the phone of the local garage
0:01:55 > 0:01:59up at the telephone exchange and then I went down to repair it.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01So, when I got there I walked in and said,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03"I've come to repair the phone."
0:02:03 > 0:02:05So I said, "I'll just sort it out for you."
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Made a pretence of going under the table to look at the wiring...
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- As you do.- Well, as you do.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12And there was this pair of legs with these very, very short,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14red hot pants, you see, facing me.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17So I thought, "Mmmm, this is interesting."
0:02:17 > 0:02:19So what did you do, reverse her charges?
0:02:19 > 0:02:20LAUGHTER
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Now, listen, you've put down your BT engineer's tool box now
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- and you've picked up a spade. - I do landscape gardening now.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30We used to run a garden centre - my daughter runs it now for us.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- I mean, you say "we", so, Rita, you do this too, do you?- Oh, yes, yeah.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37And would you say you're the creative part of the partnership?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Definitely!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- Al's got more, sort of, brunt.- Muscle? Yes.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44And I'm more, well...you do a bit of creating a bit as well, don't you?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Yes, if I let him. - Yeah, be careful.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I could tell from that glance, he wasn't quite so keen on that one.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50LAUGHTER
0:02:50 > 0:02:53And you were once in a 1960s pop-group?
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Yeah, called The Termites.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57My sister and myself, we've always sang, ever
0:02:57 > 0:03:00since we were about three or four, and when we were 13
0:03:00 > 0:03:06and 14, we were working in a club and there was a talent scout there
0:03:06 > 0:03:10and he heard us singing Tell Me with our group, and he said,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12"I want you, girls, to record that for me."
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- As The Termites?- As The Termites.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- I hope you've got a few vinyl copies of this, have you?- Yeah.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19You have, tucked away somewhere.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Well, I think there's only one.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Anyway, very good luck.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Lovely to meet you.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26OK, Blues, you're not going to stand for any funny business
0:03:26 > 0:03:29from that lot, cos you are or were both in the police force, right?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- That's right, we were.- That's right.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Wearing the correct colour, then.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34We are the team in blue.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36And did you meet when you were working on the police force?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Yeah, we met in the police bar.- Did you?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Yeah, one evening I went in and Richard was there and I was like,
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- "Oooh, I rather like him!"- Yes.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- And it was caramba!- It was.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Now, you've given up the police and gone in for the fluffy creatures.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Yes, that's right.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Four years ago, we opened an animal boarding
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- business for guinea pigs and rabbits.- No!
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Yeah...looking after little ones
0:03:58 > 0:03:59while people go off on their holidays.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- I don't believe it! - It's been really popular.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Are there enough guinea pigs and rabbits to make the thing thrive?
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- Surprisingly enough, there is, Tim.- Really?- There's plenty.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Now, Richard, tell me,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13do you miss anything, not being in the police force any more?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16No. I had a great time for 30 years in the police, and I worked in
0:04:16 > 0:04:20investigations and intelligence and finished up as detective inspector.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- Did you?- So I had a good career.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- But there's a bit of a buzz about you, isn't there?- Well, yeah.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27One of my passions is bee keeping.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31I started that a couple of years ago, erm, and it's developing nicely.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34So do you have several hives in different locations?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I've got a couple of hives in different locations. In fact,
0:04:37 > 0:04:41one of the hives we've got is in Al and Rita's old garden centre.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42- Oh, I see.- Down near the polytunnels.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44This really is a close friendship.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46We are.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48We are going to be in trouble today!
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Whoever wins is going to be very pleased.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53There'll only be one winner! LAUGHTER
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Anyway, very good luck. Now, here comes your £300, there we go.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01You know the rules, your experts await and off you go!
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Very, very, very good luck! Gosh, what fun!
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Now, let's meet our experts spreading the Bargain Hunt
0:05:13 > 0:05:15gospel today!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Helping out the Reds, Caroline Hawley believes it could be
0:05:18 > 0:05:19worth more than you think!
0:05:21 > 0:05:24And championing the question, "What's your very, very best?"
0:05:24 > 0:05:27is Thomas Plant, who'll be assisting the Blues.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32So, Rit, you used to be a rock star?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Yes, I did, in the '60s.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Wow! So, we're going to be looking for some rock memorabilia.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38That would be great!
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- So, are we all instep like real bobbies?- Absolutely!
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Yeah, definitely.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- So are we going to be instep with buying?- We are.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Yup, we're going to be up there with it.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50What about you, Al, what are you into?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Well, I'm kind of into naked women, really.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Ah, indeed...right, there probably won't be too many around today.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Of the bronze variety, I think.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Yeah, we're going to rely heavily on our expert to make us
0:06:00 > 0:06:02a whopping profit.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Well, good luck! - LAUGHTER
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Right, so where do we need to be?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Right, get on with it, teams.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Where's your wife? Oh, there she is, she's gone.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- Oh, look.- Rita's pretty quick off the mark. You go, girl!
0:06:17 > 0:06:19- Look at that.- Now, that's nice.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22How old would you think that one is, Caroline?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24It's an old fire engine, isn't it?
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Yeah.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27It probably had a string on it at one time, Caroline,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29and the bell would go...
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Oh, yes... Yes, has it got its dingler in?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35'80s, did you say?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- Yeah.- Yeah. OK.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39It's quite nice, isn't it?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- £80 is quite a lot of the money, isn't it?- I know, it's quite a lot.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46What's the best price you could do on the car for us, please?
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Best price for that would be 70 quid.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53It's still quite a lot, isn't it?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- I think it needs to be a little bit lower.- Thank you.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Yeah, that would have been nice if it was cheaper.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01OK, something to think about, maybe.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Meanwhile, what's Thomas' beady eye spotted?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- I don't like doing this but I've spotted something I quite like.- OK.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09It's just up my street.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14- OK.- Erm, it's the kettle on stand. Erm, very Art Nouveau.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16So, Art Nouveau, do you know what Art Nouveau is?
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- It's a time, isn't it?- A period.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24This is by someone called WMF. This is a German manufacture.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27You see, you've got these stylised flowers.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Yeah, I can see that's very Art Nouveau, isn't it?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Very Art Nouveau, with the copper and the brass,
0:07:32 > 0:07:33with the spirit burner here.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Look at these stylised...
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Yeah, it is pretty. - It's very, very stylish.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- If you want one of these, it's the best one to buy.- OK.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44All the bits are there.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47The interesting thing is...Manning-Bowman,
0:07:47 > 0:07:511904 is the date...8th of November.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Oh, so it's got an exact date!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55It's got an exact date, 1904, that's wonderful.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Is it a different manufacturer at the bottom?- All fits in, all fits in.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- I love it! - Would it be a good seller?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Cos there's a different screw either side there.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- There's a screw missing there. - There's a different screw, yeah.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08That's something, that's not great, that.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11So, that's a good spot. Well done for that, Richard.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15It's your policeman's detective mind coming out.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Watch it, Thomas, he'll be taking down your particulars.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20So, what's the very best on this?
0:08:20 > 0:08:25- Well, we'll start at 100, is the best.- I know, but...a little bit less.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Two figures.- 85 is the death on it. - Are you sure?- Absolutely positive.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Cos you've got that screw there
0:08:31 > 0:08:33and you've got that little bit of damage there.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- Nice subject matter, 85. - It's lovely.- 85 is the best on it.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- OK.- I like it.- I like it.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- We've only been shopping for ten minutes.- Yeah.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- I really don't like to buy within the first, you know, 20 minutes.- OK.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I just think that that's good...
0:08:48 > 0:08:51It's good but, you know, let's move on.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- OK.- Can we do that?- We can, yeah.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Plenty of time to think about it, Blues,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58but back now to the Reds, who are discussing furniture.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02G Plan sells very well and I'll tell you another good make, Ercol.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Yeah.- Yes.- That is worth looking out for.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I wouldn't have thought they are but...
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I don't...I mean, they're a nice shape
0:09:09 > 0:09:12but I don't think they've got the quality of...
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- There's a G Plan set in there.- Is there?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- In the tent?- Yeah.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- Oooh, can we have a look?- By all means.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22The G Plan brand was launched in the 1950s,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24the brainchild of David Gomme,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26the designer at British family firm E Gomme,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29who decided to produce a range of furniture which could be
0:09:29 > 0:09:32purchased piece-by-piece according to budget.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Consequently, his idea allowed people to buy a simple coffee table
0:09:36 > 0:09:38and furnish a whole house with a complete look.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43I think these G Plan items are really popular today.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46And with the young ones that are buying flats and their first
0:09:46 > 0:09:51homes now, this classic, clean, contemporary look is what they want.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53What do you think, Caroline?
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- It's a bit marked, isn't it?- It's a bit mucky on that one, isn't it?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59That does say G Plan underneath, though.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- You've got the name that's in fashion.- Yeah.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07I think they're a nice look but they
0:10:07 > 0:10:09need to be a little bit better, sir.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14- What can you do?- That's been glued as well, look...ten?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16HE LAUGHS
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- No, what can you do?- Gracious me!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I'll do you 25 and that is as low as I'm going.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I think they need to be 20, really, with that.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26This is the only one that needs... Cos it's gone all sticky.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28That needs stripping off, don't it?
0:10:28 > 0:10:2920 and we'll buy them.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33I'll tell you what I'll do, I'll toss you 20 or 25.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- OK.- Yeah?- Yeah, we'll go with that.- Why not.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38You going to call?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Heads.- It's tails.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Oh!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44You're rubbish, Rit, I'll divorce you.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45- That is fair.- Thank you very much.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- That's OK.- Cheers.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Thank you.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Well, that's a different way to haggle.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54That means the Reds have made their first purchase.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56On the call of tails, they shelled out
0:10:56 > 0:10:59£25 for a nest of tables, well done!
0:11:00 > 0:11:04The Blues haven't moved far - they are still on the kettle stall
0:11:04 > 0:11:07and are showing interest in something else.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Now then, let's be having you!
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- What do we think?- Yeah. - London 'Bobby'.- No.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- No, you don't want to go for The London 'Bobby'?- I think it's lovely.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16By Royal Doulton.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Do you think... I mean, I don't know how much it is
0:11:19 > 0:11:21but do you think that would be very saleable?
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Yes, it is, weirdly enough.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24The reason why it's saleable is
0:11:24 > 0:11:27because policemen collect police items.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- Police memorabilia. - They do.- Yeah.- All the time.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I don't believe it.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32SHE LAUGHS
0:11:32 > 0:11:35There is a resemblance! The nose is slightly different.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40- There's not much in it.- I see the smile and the skin tone...yeah!
0:11:40 > 0:11:43No, I think we can't not have that.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45It's not got any damage on it, has it?
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- No, it's not got any damage. - What sort of price is it?
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Well, I don't know.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Where's he gone? - Lost the stall-holder.- There he is.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Shall I go and speak... Just have a look along here.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- We'll have a look here. - You go and discuss.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- That sounds like a good idea. - You go and do your thing, Thomas.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Here's an unusual little character.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Do you like things like that?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- No.- No, not at all.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Right.- OK.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Erm, I've had a chat with the dealer.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18He says it's a rare colourway
0:12:18 > 0:12:21cos of the silver on the whistle
0:12:21 > 0:12:24and the helmet as well...and the buttons.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I would tend to probably believe him.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31There are different colourways with Doulton character jugs.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Erm, he had it at 150 and it could be ours at 90.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Oh...- So, you know, you've got two options, really.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41You can either go for the kettle and stand...
0:12:41 > 0:12:44So if we went for both, would he come up to a bit of an agreement?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46He might do if you went for both.
0:12:46 > 0:12:52- Yeah. Just a little bit of a deal if we buy both?- 160.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56That's 80 each. That's actually not too bad, is it?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- Two items down in the first shop.- Profit in that?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02You know, it could be a rare colourway, I just don't know.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I don't think that's too much of bad deal.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Let's go for it.- Do you want to do those? Do you want to do it?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- I think we should.- Yeah, let's do it.- Do you want to take the risk?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Yeah, let's take the risk! - Boosh!- Two in 20 minutes.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- We've got plenty of time now to find something really cracking.- Yeah!
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Congratulations, Blues.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20As you say, two items down and 40 minutes left
0:13:20 > 0:13:22to find your third purchase.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Back to Caroline and the Reds.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26And they've spotted a coffee set.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29So, it's J&G Meakin, England.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Now, England always tells us it's after 1891,
0:13:32 > 0:13:37but it's quite considerably after 1891. This is 1970s, I would say.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Absolutely typical, stylistically,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- of the '70s, and it's good colours.- Yes.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- It's very contemporary. - It would go nowadays, wouldn't it?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49It would, absolutely and, you know, the long, tall coffee pot here,
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- and we've got lots of it. There's six of everything.- Yeah.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- The '70s style is coming back now.- Absolutely.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59People are decorating their houses, aren't they, in the '70s style.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02It's a timeless style, it's nice quality.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Caroline, that would go with our G Plan coffee table.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07It would, absolutely brilliant idea! Yeah, it would.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10This is fantastic - it's in great condition and when you
0:14:10 > 0:14:14consider it's lasted intact from the '70s...what do you think, Al?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16How much is it?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- 30 for those.- 30, right, OK.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21It seems like a lot of stuff for 30 quid.
0:14:21 > 0:14:28- Can you do any...?- Well, it does, but...- 20?- I can't go to 20...25.
0:14:28 > 0:14:3222, yes, please. Because, you know, we've got to try and make
0:14:32 > 0:14:34a little bit of... We've got to beat our Blue team.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37We do need to beat the Blues, definitely. Go on, then.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42- 22, thank you! Thank you very much. - Thank you.- Thank you, my love.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- I hope you make a profit.- So do we!
0:14:45 > 0:14:48That's a good buy and that's going to look great on our tables, Rit!
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Yes!
0:14:49 > 0:14:52And that's the second purchase for the Reds. Well done!
0:14:52 > 0:14:57There's definitely a '70s vibe going on here. So, it's two-all.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Now, how are those Blues getting on?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I quite like that carved trunk.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- Yeah, it is quite nice. - I quite like that.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Wow!
0:15:07 > 0:15:08That's really unusual.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- It's an African woodcarving, isn't it?- Yeah.- What have you seen there?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- I like this.- The trunk.- The trunk?
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- Is there any age to it?- Let's have a look, let's open it up.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- I think it's...- You don't think it's got much age to it?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- No, I think it's more touristy than anything.- Yeah, I think so.- Oh, OK.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Made in Africa and probably carved in the '50s.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- It's got a bit of age but not too much.- How much is it?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Erm, 120.- Is it?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Hmmm, I don't think we'd sell it for much more than that, to be honest.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40No, I don't think you would.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- You've got to think about making a profit.- Thank you.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Absolutely right, Thomas. Profit is the name of the game.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Keep on looking.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Oh, what have you seen, Rit?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51There's an old Esso petrol can that reminds me
0:15:51 > 0:15:53of when we first met at the garage!
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Everybody was filling up their petrol cans, weren't they?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Yeah, they were and very similar to them as well.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Brings back loads of memories.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Ah, that's lovely.- You see those old bottles there as well, Rit.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Yeah, I saw those. Bye.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- You romantic pair! - We are, aren't we?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Oh...- Oh, take a rose.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12THEY LAUGH
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Ahhh, how sweet.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18In search of more bargains, the Blues head inside.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Look.- What have you found?
0:16:20 > 0:16:24A pair of Breton man-and-wife fishermen in a mother of pearl.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- OK, well, we said mother of pearl.- It's sweet, isn't it?
0:16:27 > 0:16:28They're pretty.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Look at the light shimmering on those.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32They are lovely, I really like those.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- Nice to hang on the wall, isn't it?- Yeah.- I love mother of pearl.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- What's the best on these?- 35.
0:16:37 > 0:16:3935, OK.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I wouldn't spend more than £30 on them
0:16:41 > 0:16:43if I was to buy them at auction, I wouldn't.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- OK, well, thank you for that.- OK.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I wonder if something like a walking stick...an ornamental stick or
0:16:48 > 0:16:49something like that.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Literally, we've got minutes, minutes.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Eight minutes to be precise, Thomas. So you need to get a move on!
0:16:55 > 0:16:56With the pressure mounting,
0:16:56 > 0:16:59the Reds also decide to look for their final item inside.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Do you like it? - Yeah, I do, actually.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Do you like the silver frame?
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- It's not very heavy.- Yeah, it's silver.- It's very light.- Is it?
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Well, it'll be...it's wooden-back, the original wooden back.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- That's the original? - Yeah, absolutely original.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Yeah.- Is it hallmarked?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21It will be hallmarked here. The date...it's Walker & Hall,
0:17:21 > 0:17:25a very good Sheffield maker, and 1910.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- 1910.- So it's an antique.- Yes.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32It looks Edwardian shape, doesn't it?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- Yeah, yeah.- And it's silver.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Nice quality.- Is that it there?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39What's the price?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43Oooh, 245! What is your very best price on it?
0:17:43 > 0:17:48- 200.- Could we squeeze you any lower, cos this is our last item now?
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- Erm, 190.- 180 and we'll do a deal now.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I don't think I can do that.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Please try...ask your lovely daughter and she'll say yes!
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Can we do 180? - I'll need to ring my husband.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Could you ring him really quickly?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Please!- I will ring him really quickly.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Really, really quickly!
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Whilst the Reds wait anxiously on a phone call,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13something is about to catch the eyes of the Blues.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Thomas, as you are the expert in jewellery... Oh, I like that!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Card case, calling card case. - That's nice.- You like that, do you?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Yeah, I do like that. - So this is a calling card case.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25When you turn up to somebody's house, you knock on the door.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Ding-dong.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Or ding-dong, the butler comes in,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31you take out your calling card case, you pull out your card,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34you present it to the butler and he puts it on a tray
0:18:34 > 0:18:36and he shows it to the lady or the gentleman of the house.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- And they decide whether they let you in.- Would like to let you in or not.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I think that's really nice.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- It's very, very pretty.- It is pretty...again, it's mother of pearl, I love mother of pearl.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Yeah.- Mother of pearl and abalone. - Where do you think they've been made?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51It would have been made, probably... It's a difficult one.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Could have been made in this country or could have been made in India.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- Yes, it's a very nice thing. - Is it possible to age that?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Erm, yes, it's... I would say late Victorian.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Yeah.- Late Victorian, early Edwardian.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- So, looking at 1890...- Can I have a feel?- Yeah, have a feel.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14You've got £45 on it, sorry, dragging you around.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- 35.- £35?- OK.- See, I think that's nicer than those shells.- Yeah.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Yeah, I do. I think that's nicer than the shells.- Yeah.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Do you want that to be your last item?- I think I'd go for that.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Would you do it for 30?
0:19:27 > 0:19:28I'd go to 32.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33- OK.- Yes.- 32 would be great.- 32 seems very fair.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- Lovely.- Last item, well done.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Thank you, yeah.- Are you going to do your thing?- Boosh!
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Third item.- Bound to make a profit.- Thank you.- Hope so.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Thank you very much.- Excellent, I'm pleased with that.- Well, that's it.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Thank you very much, lovely.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Boosh, indeed, guys!
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Well done, that's your last item bought, congratulations!
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Meanwhile, the Reds are really up against time.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56180.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- 180.- 180, Rit.- Rit, 180.- 180.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- What do you think?- Time's nearly gone. Why don't we go for it?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- It's a nice classic piece. - It is classic.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10There's no dents in it, it's in good condition. 180?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Let's go for it. Thank you. - I can see me in there as well.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Thank you very much.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19In the nick of time the Reds make their final purchase, so well done.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23The 60 minutes are up. Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28The nest of G Plan teak tables cost them £25.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35A Meakin coffee set was served up at a hot and steamy £22.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39And finally, they spent £180
0:20:39 > 0:20:42on this early-20th-century silver photo frame.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Was that fun?- That was great. - That was absolutely brilliant.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Had a great day. It's been amazing.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Which is your favourite piece?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54I think I like the silver Edwardian photo frame.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- That's your favourite?- Yes. - Do you agree?- I have to agree.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59I like that the best as well.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02It's no wonder you have been together for 30 years.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I have to agree. She's got my arm up me.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Is that going to bring the biggest profits?
0:21:06 > 0:21:11We think the G Plan tables.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13That is your prediction, good.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- How much did you spend? - 227 smackers.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- 227, that is three short. So I want 73.- You do.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- That's what I've got in my pocket. - I'll take it from you.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28That's very good. Lovely. And that goes straight to Caroline.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Well done, darling. That's not so much, but for a girl of your calibre it should be no problem.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- I can do damage with 73. - Good for you. Thanks, team.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Go and have a nice cup of tea.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the Blue team bought.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43This Edwardian Art Nouveau kettle and stand
0:21:43 > 0:21:46set them back a piping £80.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Evening all!
0:21:48 > 0:21:52A Royal Doulton character jug of a London 'Bobby' also cost them £80.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59And they spent £32 on this Edwardian mother-of-pearl calling card case.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Well, I do think you're marvellous, you two. I mean, such control.
0:22:04 > 0:22:10- Well, we did do our best.- What was the total spend again?- £192.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12That is such a mature amount of money.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I mean, these are the forces at its best.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Anyway, I'd like £108 of your leftover lolly, please.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Thank you, darling. You've got the shrapnel. Super.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Which is your favourite piece?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27My favourite piece was the Royal Doulton policeman's mug
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- because it looked like Richard. - How sweet.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- A mug-shot!- A mug-shot!
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- It's his identikit. - The nose was different.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Do you know what? They can put another one on. OK, fine.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Your prediction of favourite piece.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44I think the favourite piece was the copper kettle.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- It is all coppers with you lot! - We like coppers.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- What's going to bring the biggest profit?- I think the copper kettle.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- No, I think the mug. We're going to disagree on that.- All right, fine.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59We like a bit of disagreement. There you go, £108, my friend.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Nobody better qualified to go off and spend £108.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- No, I'll enjoy spending 108. - I bet you'll blow the lot too.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Anyway, very, very, very, very good luck.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Meanwhile, I'm going to take you on a trip.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13A trip back to the 1960s.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Are you one of those young people who are on-trend
0:23:23 > 0:23:29and understand about what is retro and what is about hot to trot?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32If you are, you will love this object.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34What is it?
0:23:34 > 0:23:38It is a bit of 1950s, '60s Italian modernism.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42What we have here is a hat and coat rack
0:23:42 > 0:23:46that is a violent reaction against the previous generation's
0:23:46 > 0:23:49desirable hat and coat rack.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53The design is completely novel and what I like about this
0:23:53 > 0:23:56particular rack is the mixture of materials.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00You have got ceramic and some rather thin and miserable
0:24:00 > 0:24:03and slightly rusty black wire.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08The ceramic is special because these dark black areas are unglazed
0:24:08 > 0:24:11and have been scratched with a very sharp tool,
0:24:11 > 0:24:13giving you the detail,
0:24:13 > 0:24:18like her absolutely fabulous Barbie doll hairdo.
0:24:18 > 0:24:24What we have is a series of images of this trendy young girl in 1960.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Here she is wearing one of those froufrou skirts
0:24:27 > 0:24:30and clutching a bunch of flowers.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34She's going to a ballet course next door, wearing her ballet gear.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37The next one shows her in the winter with a trendy duffle coat on.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Then she's playing tennis, gripping her tennis racket.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43She's then going skipping, look.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46And later on it's a windy, wet day with an umbrella.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Then, the inevitable consequence, perhaps, of all this activity,
0:24:50 > 0:24:54you see her in the last plaque pushing along a little pram.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58The desirable thing about the black wire are the design
0:24:58 > 0:25:00of the pegs themselves.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03These are kind of Sputnik-shaped ovals
0:25:03 > 0:25:06which are taken together - one in a vertical plane
0:25:06 > 0:25:08and one in a horizontal plane.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Ideal for putting the trendy duffle coat down below
0:25:12 > 0:25:15and maybe a beret on the upper hook.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19What would such an icon of Italian design cost you?
0:25:19 > 0:25:23It could be yours today here in Norwich for £45.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Not a lot of lira, that.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Well, we've come 25 miles south from Norwich
0:25:37 > 0:25:42to the delightful town of Diss to be with Elizabeth Talbot,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46our auctioneer of the moment, from the Diss Auction Rooms.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- Hello, Tim. How are you? - Very good, thank you.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Very, very nice to be here.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- Now, first up for the Reds is this nest of G Plan tables.- Yes.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Do you like these?- They are OK.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00We see a lot of G Plan and I have to say
0:26:00 > 0:26:03it's beautiful, quality furniture which they made
0:26:03 > 0:26:07and is ongoing with its appreciation within the market
0:26:07 > 0:26:10but they're a fairly straightforward nest of tables.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14How much are you going to have to pay at auction today to buy these, Elizabeth?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16We think £15-£25.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20So there you have it. £25 paid by the team.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24And then, continuing the theme in our 20th century lot,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26we've got a coffee service.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28We've got six cups, six saucers, the coffee pot,
0:26:28 > 0:26:33- the stylish milk or cream jug. It's marvellous, isn't it?- Yes.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37It is very evocative of an era which is now very popular
0:26:37 > 0:26:40and the high street are recreating that look in their potteries.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45And a bargain to buy at fairs, retail or at auction. How much?
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- £20-£30.- I rest my case.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Six cups, all perfect, ready to go.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55They were a wedding present in 1972. Nobody's used them.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00It's like going down the high street and buying it brand-Harry-spankers.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03£22, our team paid. You are estimating £20-£30.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I think it's just bonkers.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Next is the silver strut photo frame,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- or it would make a perfectly nice dressing table mirror.- It would.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15It's a good size for that, actually. It would sensibly switch
0:27:15 > 0:27:18to either usage. It's not too fussy.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21The simplicity of that design, although it's from 1916,
0:27:21 > 0:27:23can look quite modern if you interpret
0:27:23 > 0:27:26it as being in a modern setting.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- How much would we get for it at auction?- We hope for £100-£150.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32OK, not too bad. £180 they paid.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34£100-£150 is a bit of a tease, Elizabeth.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- I like teasing people. - You certainly do!
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Anyway, depending on whether you've over-teased or under-teased
0:27:41 > 0:27:43will determine whether they make a profit out of the frame
0:27:43 > 0:27:46and if they don't, they'll need the bonus buy.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52You are very good, you two. 227, you spent.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56You gave Caroline £73. What did you spend on?
0:27:56 > 0:27:57I spent...
0:27:59 > 0:28:04..on these American 1950s original record cases.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- Do you like them?- What's inside? Are they just cases?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10They're just cases.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12I think this one's been filled in
0:28:12 > 0:28:15so they've had records in at one time but no more.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17The others have never been used.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21They were asking £25 each for them which I think's too much.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25So, I got them for £40 for three of them.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- £40 for three.- How much do you reckon they're going to make?
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Probably £40 for three of them!
0:28:31 > 0:28:34No, I don't know. I think they are interesting.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38There's a lot of musical items here for sale.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41So we could take... I took a punt.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44You can choose to do so or not.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46I think they're different, they're very interesting,
0:28:46 > 0:28:51- they're very evocative of that Twist And Shout era.- Yeah, definitely.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55I hasten to add that Rita is well after this era, thank you very much.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00Thank you very much, Rita. I clocked that.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03But nevertheless, they are fun, aren't they?
0:29:03 > 0:29:05And in good nick, basically.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07And if you've got a collection of 45s,
0:29:07 > 0:29:10what nicer way of storing them and everything else?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- Thank you, Caroline. - But right now, let's find out
0:29:13 > 0:29:15whether the auctioneer finds them groovy.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20There we go, Elizabeth. Do you like to do the Twist?
0:29:20 > 0:29:24I have done that, actually, and come a-cropper for doing it
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- so I'm not doing it again. - You're not?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- They're definitely doing the Twist here, aren't they?- I know.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33But this is lovely artwork, actually. It's great fun.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- To have three of them is superb. - It is, isn't it?
0:29:36 > 0:29:39I like to think that a collector of 45s,
0:29:39 > 0:29:41who could be from any generation, really,
0:29:41 > 0:29:45would go for something like this because it is such a cute way
0:29:45 > 0:29:48of keeping your precious 45s together.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50I think so. If you're that avid a collector of records,
0:29:50 > 0:29:56anything that reflects that and emphasises the collection is good.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- What is your estimate on these? - Only £10-£20.- Really?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01£40 paid by Caroline.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Anyway, it'll depend on who's here, won't it?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07OK, super, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09And a weird old mix they've got.
0:30:09 > 0:30:15Now, first up is the copper and brass, very stylish spirit kettle.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19- Look at that.- I think that's a handsome piece.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21We see spirit kettles quite often but that,
0:30:21 > 0:30:25it's got all the elements which really make that quite special.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27I don't think I've seen a more stylish
0:30:27 > 0:30:29or more complete one, actually.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31- Mmm-hmm. - What do you think it's worth?
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- £100-£150.- That's brilliant, £80 paid.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38So I think Thomas Plant has done well in guiding them towards that.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Next up is 'allo, 'allo, 'allo.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45My least favourite object, really, but how do you rate these things?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Is it difficult or easy in the market with Doulton character jugs?
0:30:48 > 0:30:50- At the moment, it's quite difficult.- Is it?
0:30:50 > 0:30:51The prices have dropped,
0:30:51 > 0:30:55tumbled quite significantly over the last two years or so.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- How low?- £30-50. - That's quite low.- Hmm.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59£80 paid,
0:30:59 > 0:31:04so that could be a bit of a problem for PC Plod.
0:31:04 > 0:31:10- Last is the classic mother of pearl veneered card case.- Yes.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13I mean, if we had a pound for every one of these we'd seen,
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- we'd be quite well off, wouldn't we?- Absolutely.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18They're fairly typical, bit of a cliche,
0:31:18 > 0:31:21but the condition of it is nice and it's decorative
0:31:21 > 0:31:23and they are always collectors starting out somewhere
0:31:23 > 0:31:25wanting to purchase something like that
0:31:25 > 0:31:27who can't afford the more expensive ones,
0:31:27 > 0:31:30so we've put £30-50 on it, hoping that that will just...
0:31:30 > 0:31:32It's called "entry-level".
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- Yes.- OK, £32 paid, so that's OK.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37I think, basically, depending on Plod,
0:31:37 > 0:31:39they're going to be all right, but on the other hand,
0:31:39 > 0:31:42they might need the bonus buy, so we better go and have a look at it.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Right, then, Claire, Ricardo, how are you feeling?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- Excited.- Good.- Are you?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50It's very important, this leftover lolly moment,
0:31:50 > 0:31:52because you gave T Plant £108.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53Thomas, reveal all.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- I bought you, as you requested, a piece of jewellery.- OK.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- But it didn't cost the whole £108. Bit of a game.- Good.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- It's nice.- It's very pretty.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08It's shakudo ware, Japanese shakudo ware.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10It's inlaid onto the silver
0:32:10 > 0:32:12and on the reverse is also a design as well.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- You can wear it the other way round? - You can wear it both ways.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- That's my kind of necklace. - It is, isn't it?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- Two for the price of one. - Two for the price of one.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21I always like to get a BOGOF deal.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- Yes.- And I got one with this!
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- Have a look.- Is that solid silver? - Yes, it is solid.- What's the chain?
0:32:27 > 0:32:28It's silver as well.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30It's not that old but it is lovely.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- OK, so how much did you pay for this?- How much do you think?
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Erm, I would say
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- £90.- No! 40, yes!
0:32:39 > 0:32:40- ALL: 40?!- £40.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- 40?!- 40!- £40.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44That's a naughty 40, I'd say.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- I'm quite impressed with that, Thomas.- That's nice.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48I'm liking that a lot.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50- I don't think I'd be wearing it, but...- Not on a Saturday night.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52CLAIRE AND RICHARD: Maybe Friday.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Well, we're very, very happy with that.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- Well done, TP, you've had the right response.- Well done.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59Why don't we find out
0:32:59 > 0:33:03whether our female auctioneer has a similar vibration.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06That's rather beautiful, isn't it?
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Oh! Yes, it's beautiful work
0:33:08 > 0:33:10and it's very wearable.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Wouldn't be to everybody's taste. - Really?- Yes.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14Cos when you look at it,
0:33:14 > 0:33:19each of those little goldy bits is gold hammered into the iron,
0:33:19 > 0:33:23as is the silvery stuff, and then the back's solid silver, isn't it?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26They're borrowing very much from the designs
0:33:26 > 0:33:29and techniques of making the bronze vases with the inlay.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32The Japanese are very skilful at compromising.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34But this is a tourist market piece, isn't it?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36- It is, really. - Well, it's quite girly.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38How much is the girly price, then?
0:33:38 > 0:33:40The girly price is £30-40.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42- That's a very good girly price. - Thank you.- £40 paid.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Absolutely charming. Thank you, Elizabeth.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- Almost as charming as you. - Thank you. You'll say anything, Tim.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51AUCTIONEER CALLS OUT
0:33:51 > 0:33:53It has taken off, this one, at 270.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Any advance on 270?
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Well, kids, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- Mmm!- This is my favourite part.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04- Is it?- Mmm-hmm!- The G-Plan teak tables are great, aren't they?
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- Yeah.- I really rate these things. She's only put £15-25 on.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10You paid £25, so you really ought to get a profit off those.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13You should. Then you've got the Meakin coffee service.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- I just can't believe you paid £22 for that.- Yeah, I know.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18She's estimated £20-30.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20That, again, should be £50 worth.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23I think both of those are going to do really well.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26She's estimated 100-150 on the silver frame.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28- You paid £180.- Yeah...
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Otherwise, we've got the record cases to fall back on,
0:34:30 > 0:34:32which was a £40 investment.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Anyway, super.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37First lot up, then, is the G-Plan tables and here they come.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Lot 84, the nest of three G-Plan teak tables,
0:34:40 > 0:34:42stylish and solid all at the same time.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Look at those - good interest here, starting at £10.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48£10 bid, at 10, I'll take 12.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Come on, £10, where's 12? Now's your chance.
0:34:50 > 0:34:5212 bid, 15.
0:34:52 > 0:34:5318, 20.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- 20 on commission, I have. - No punning.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59It's £20 with me. Come on, surely worth more.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02For three of them at £20. Any advance?
0:35:02 > 0:35:03Surely!
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Oh, £20!
0:35:06 > 0:35:11- Minus- £5. Lot 85, the 1970s Meakin coffee service.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Six place settings and it's in good order
0:35:14 > 0:35:18- and I start here at £12. - Oh, that's a low start!
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- Couldn't buy a cup for that. - At 12, I have.
0:35:21 > 0:35:2515, gallery. 18, I have. 20 bid, 22.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Are you sure, at 22...
0:35:27 > 0:35:29THEY GROAN
0:35:29 > 0:35:32At the £22, the whole set and selling.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34£22, you've wiped your face.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37You've wiped your face.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42Lot 86, the Walker & Hall silver photograph frame. It's circa 1916.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Good-sized frame, this one. - It's a whopper.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47It is a whopper.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51And I'll start here at just £60. £60 bid.
0:35:51 > 0:35:5365 and 70.
0:35:53 > 0:35:545 and 80.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- 5 and 90.- Come on.
0:35:57 > 0:35:585, 100.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00110, 120.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02130, 140.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04150, 160.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Oh, come on! Come on.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07160 on my commission, the net is out.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10It's 160 on commission now. Is the room coming in?
0:36:10 > 0:36:14At 160 I do have on commission, any advance on £160?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16I can't bear it, Caroline.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- 160.- Oh, it was close.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21It's just missing, isn't it?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23£20 on that, that's minus £25.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26So there you have it, minus 25. It's nothing.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27It's nothing.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28It's not even a spit.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- No, that's not bad, is it? - Not even a spit, Ri.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35What are you going to do about the record case?
0:36:35 > 0:36:37We're going to go for them.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39We're going to go for them.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- Definitely, yeah.- Yes.- OK, fine.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43The decision's made.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44We're going to go with the record cases
0:36:44 > 0:36:46and try and make a record loss...
0:36:46 > 0:36:47I mean, a record profit!
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Lot 19.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50Oh, these are unusual -
0:36:50 > 0:36:54we have three 1950s American record cases and I start at £10.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57£10 I have, where's 12?
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Look for 12 now, that's good value each.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Come on... 12 bid, 15.
0:37:01 > 0:37:0218, 20.
0:37:02 > 0:37:0422, 25.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Don't give up now, sir. At 25, where's 8?
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Where is the 8?!
0:37:09 > 0:37:14Vinyl is all back in fashion. At 25, where's 8? Any advance on 25?
0:37:14 > 0:37:20£25, it's minus £15, which equals... Overall, you're minus £40.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Oh, what a lovely score!
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- Oh, that's amazing. - Well, there we are.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Minus £40. It could have been very different, I have to say.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29On the other hand...
0:37:29 > 0:37:31BOTH: ..it could still be a winning score!
0:37:31 > 0:37:33You've watched the programme before!
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- So not a word to the Blues. - No, no, no.- Thanks very much.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Now, your kettle, your WMF kettle,
0:37:45 > 0:37:48has to be one of the fabbest of fab WMF kettles.
0:37:48 > 0:37:53- Oh, good.- The auctioneer's put £100-150 on it. She rates it.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Then you've got your London 'Bobby' Doulton character jug.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00She says that the market's really off for these.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02She's put £30-50 on - even though it's rare,
0:38:02 > 0:38:06£80 you will not stand a chance of making, so she says.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- OK.- OK? You've got the calling case.
0:38:08 > 0:38:1130-50 on that, you paid £32,
0:38:11 > 0:38:15so she's predicting a good profit on two and not so hot on the other.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18And if all else fails, you've got the necklace to fall back on, right?
0:38:18 > 0:38:20We're all dead keen about that for £40.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Anyway, super, very good.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24First up, then, is the kettle and stand and here it comes.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Lot 106 now,
0:38:26 > 0:38:30the Edwardian WMF copper and brass spirit kettle and stand.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Good, stylish piece in lovely order.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Where am I safe for this? Start me at 100.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37- Very stylish.- Somebody wants it.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Somebody, somebody.
0:38:39 > 0:38:4150, if it helps.
0:38:41 > 0:38:4250 bid, sir.
0:38:42 > 0:38:4450, I have. A middle bid at £50.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48How disappointing. Here it is at 50 in the middle. Any advance on £50?
0:38:48 > 0:38:51It will sell to my maiden bidder for £50, all done?
0:38:53 > 0:38:58- That's terrible, £50.- It happens. - Minus 30, it happens, I'm afraid.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- It's the only one we had any hope with.- Well...
0:39:01 > 0:39:07Lot 107, the Royal Doulton rare character jug of The London 'Bobby'.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10I have interest on the sheets. I start at just £10.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28It's getting there, it's getting there.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37- £30.- She's trying hard for us.
0:39:40 > 0:39:4235 is on the internet, the lady's out.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Any advance?
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- OK, never mind.- Did she say 35?
0:39:47 > 0:39:48It was 35, which is 5 off 40.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51It's minus 45, which means you're minus 75.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Look out, here comes the calling card case.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Lot 108, we have the Edwardian mother of pearl calling card case.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Pretty piece, 20 to start. 20 bid, the front.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03At £20, where's 2? 22 is the gallery.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05- 25, 28, 30...- Yes!
0:40:05 > 0:40:07..2, 35...

0:40:17 > 0:40:20Plus £8, well done, kids.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Plus £8, that's very nice.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Minus 67.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Minus 67.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29- Pleased about that, Carrie? - Oh, yeah.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- But minus 67's a bit of a body blow, isn't it?- It certainly is, yeah.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35So what are we going to do about this, then?
0:40:35 > 0:40:37- Are we going to go with the necklace?- I think we'll have to.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39We were going to anyway, because we love it.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- We're going to give it a run. - Definitely going to go for it.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44I don't blame you. So that's what you're going to do.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47- Here we go.- Lot 112.

0:41:08 > 0:41:1055 is bid.
0:41:10 > 0:41:1160.
0:41:11 > 0:41:125,

0:41:16 > 0:41:18Missing out. 75 is bid.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- 75!- 80.- She's going again.
0:41:20 > 0:41:2280, still with the lady at 80.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Any advance on £80?
0:41:24 > 0:41:26- HAMMER BANGS - The man's a genius.- Well done, Tom.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Plus £40.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33It's so good, isn't it? £40 profit. Doubled your money, good boy.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37- That takes the losses down to minus...- 27.- ..£27.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38She's quite quick!
0:41:38 > 0:41:41She's quick, I tell you, when it comes to the money.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42- She is.- Minus £27.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45- Superb. Isn't that so good? - Brilliant.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Listen, minus £27 could be a winning score,
0:41:47 > 0:41:49so say not a word to the Reds.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51- No!- Thank you.- How exciting! Well done, Tom.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Well, well, well, teams, what an appalling day it's been today.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Nobody's going home with any cash...
0:42:03 > 0:42:04THEY GROAN
0:42:04 > 0:42:07..but it's just a question of the scale of the losses.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- Have you been chatting, you lot? - ALL: No.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11No, you have not been revealing anything to anybody.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Well, I can tell you that the team
0:42:14 > 0:42:17with the worst tally of losses today by a chalk
0:42:17 > 0:42:19are the Reds.
0:42:20 > 0:42:25I mean, minus £40 is actually not that much to be down the proverbial.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29- You had that nice, white face on the coffee set.- That was the positive.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32The G-Plan tables were an acute disappointment all round,
0:42:32 > 0:42:33so that wasn't so hot.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35And then the record cases didn't perform,
0:42:35 > 0:42:38but it's not too bad and I hope you had a nice time.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39- We've had an amazing time. - Great, Tim.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Thank you very much for joining us.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45But the team that win today, by only losing £27, are the Blues.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- THEY CHEER - Which is good, isn't it?
0:42:47 > 0:42:51You were helped out considerably by Thomas's £40 profit on the necklace.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55- Yes!- That did it.- So that is a result, Tom, so well done for that,
0:42:55 > 0:42:57but the rest of it was basically a bit of a shambles.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59It was terrible. Really bad.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01I should stick to the day job, if I were you,
0:43:01 > 0:43:05- even though you are successful today and are our winners.- OK.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07- Fantastic.- To wit, I congratulate you.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Anyway, join us soon for some more bargain hunting.
0:43:09 > 0:43:10Yes?
0:43:10 > 0:43:12ALL: Yes!
