0:00:05 > 0:00:08We're in border country today - Herefordshire,
0:00:08 > 0:00:10where we've got the best of both worlds.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14Glorious countryside and some cracking good antique shops.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18So...let's go bargain hunting! Yeah.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48We're in Leominster today,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51which nestles on the border between England and Wales.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55The area around this place is called the Marches.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59It's here that there's been many a battle between the two countries
0:00:59 > 0:01:00over the centuries.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04The battle today, though, is between the Reds and the Blues.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06And here's a quick squint as to what's coming up.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Caroline comes between the Reds.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Ooh, I don't want to be in a marital dispute.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14HE LAUGHS I'll leave you to it!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16And whilst searching for bargains,
0:01:16 > 0:01:20the Blues are asked a very searching question.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Do you like living life on the edge? - Yes.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Well, you know what you need to do, then, don't you?- Don't you?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Will she or won't she? Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Well, on Bargain Hunt today,
0:01:30 > 0:01:34we have a married couple and a pair of friends.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37We have Craig and Sally for the Reds,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40and we have Barbara and Diggory for the Blues. Hello, everyone.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- ALL:- Hello.- Lovely to see you all.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Sally, you've been married now for 40 years,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- and it don't seem a day too long, right?- 30 years.- Oh, 30 years.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Very good. You were still a child bride, though.- Absolutely, yes.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Good. And how did you two get dragged together?
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Well, I was working in a pub as a barmaid at the time,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01and Craig came in.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05He'd just finished his last exam as an apprentice engineer.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08And he became very drunk very quickly,
0:02:08 > 0:02:13and he asked me out and I said yes, because he did catch my eye.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I said, "That's alright.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18"You can take me out," but I said, "Because you're very drunk,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21"I want you to leave your name and address and telephone number."
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Postcode and National Insurance number.- Absolutely.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- So that I could track him if he stood me up.- Yeah.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- And he didn't stand you up. - He didn't, no.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Now, Craig, what do you do for a living?
0:02:31 > 0:02:36I'm a sales manager selling engineering and design software.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Do you?- Yeah.- That all sounds rather brainy.- Uh, no, not really.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Not really?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43I mean, you've just got to say "software" to a person of my generation
0:02:43 > 0:02:46and we completely...go into the complete collywobbles.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- The normal thing today, isn't it? - Is it? Well, it is for you guys.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- And what do you get up to when you're not working?- I enjoy cooking.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- What's your favourite dish?- I like a Sunday roast, actually.- Do you?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- I do like... - Traditional roast?- Yes, I do.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59So you ease the missus out of the kitchen.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Do you say, "I'm taking control now"?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04She's never been one for cooking from the day we met.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06HE LAUGHS
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Well, don't put her down. She's looking crestfallen.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Sounds like this is...you just married a dream here.- I know.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I'm so lucky.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18There are six million women tuned in right now wondering,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- "Why can't I get hold of a man like that?"- Maybe they could ring in.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Yeah. You don't do hoovering as well, by any chance, do you?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Occasionally. - HE LAUGHS
0:03:26 > 0:03:29See what I mean? This is fantastic! I love it.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Anyway, very, very, very good luck.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Now, Babs, how did you two meet to become such firm friends?
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- We're both councillors - part of the same ward.- Oh, right.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Tell me about your time when you were civic mayor of Cheltenham.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Stand to attention! - Yes, it was great fun, actually.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Did you get a car? Chauffeur-driven car with a flag out the front?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Well, the flag's not there anymore. No, they took the flag off.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Somebody nicked it? - SHE LAUGHS
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Not quite.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- Now, you've raised a lot of money for charity during your time?- Yes.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- I think it was £46,000 in a year. - Really?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07That's folding cash, isn't it?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09It's more than I'm going to be giving you here on Bargain Hunt.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Well, then, be like that, then. SHE LAUGHS
0:04:12 > 0:04:16All right. Now, Diggory, this is a lifetime spent in music, I'm told.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Yes, indeed. About 40 years.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23I discovered that my hobby, which was playing percussion,
0:04:23 > 0:04:27which is orchestral percussion - that's symphonic percussion, not,
0:04:27 > 0:04:31uh...not pop music, I'm afraid. And, uh...that took me over.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- You got your own triangle? - I have got my triangle.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36That's where it started, actually.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Well, that's where it starts for a lot of people.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39How perceptive of you, if I may say so.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43You know, kiddie-wids in orchestras, the smallest ones get the triangle.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- Yes, indeed. Yes.- Yeah. So, you two, how are you going to get on today?
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Like two councillors - mature, upright stanchions of the community - ought to?
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Oh, yes. We're going to, of course, think about it deeply.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00- Yes. No bickering.- Chance of a rest. - Very reasoned decisions.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Very reasoned decisions. That is the right answer.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Now, here comes the £300. So there's £300. You know the rules.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12Your experts await. And off you go! And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Gosh, what fun.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Now, let's meet our experts.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Brimming with confidence for the Reds is Caroline Hawley.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25And there are no strings on David Harper as he assists the Blues.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30So, Sally, Craig, what are you looking for today?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Something that's definitely going to sell.- Oh, right.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- That's the name of the game. - At a profit.- Yes.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Well, this is a bit posh, isn't it, in here?- Very nice.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- Well, there's some fancy bits, aren't there?- I know. And it's nice and warm as well.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43This is like luxury treatment for Bargain Hunt.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44I'm into the furniture,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- but whether that's a sellable thing or not, I'm not sure.- OK.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50So we may do a bit of silver or jewellery.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Is he a bit of a nightmare to work with?- Mm-hm.- Really? Is he?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55We could always ditch him. You and I can go off together.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57See you, Diggory. Come on, Barbara. BARBARA LAUGHS
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Right, well, let's go and look for it. CRAIG:- Yes.- Let's go.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Armed with their £300 budget,
0:06:05 > 0:06:09both teams have just an hour to find three items to take to auction.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- And Babs is quick off the mark. - That jug there.- OK, yeah. Yeah.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20- Clarice Cliff.- Looked rather nice to me.- It is nice. It's later.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23You want the '20s and '30s Clarice Cliff with the bright oranges
0:06:23 > 0:06:25and blues and golds and the shapes. But I like you, Barbara.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28You're straight in there. There's no mucking about.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33- Can the Reds already smell success? - The doubled scent bottle.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37What do you think?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40See, that's a good sign - little tiny stopper in there.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- So has it got the stopper?- Yeah.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Now, have a look, because the end...this repousse silver end very
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- often rubs through and you can see some damage.- Right.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51So if we hold it up to the light,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54that's probably a very good way of seeing if there's damage.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Doesn't appear to be, does there?- No.- OK.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02Now, the price on that is £190.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- SHE SIGHS - That's a big sigh, Sally.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07It's not the best price.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Well, I can see if we can do a better price for you.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Would you like me to find out?- Yeah. Yeah.- Could you?- Yeah.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Thank you very much.- Lovely.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16So whilst we await a price from our man Stan,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19who works at the antique centre, Barbara's on a mission.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Well, what...- She just turns up with things.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23HE LAUGHS Oh, Barbara.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Well, it just looked sort of different.- I like it.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33I'd say it's a wooden mould. Mould for what? I think it's bonkers.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- I don't mind bonkers - will it make money?- Yes, how much is it? A fiver?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Yes.- That's going to make more than a fiver.- It is.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43It's gonna make more... Barbara, don't just put it back. Bring it - let's have a...
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Keep on going - we have to decide whether we're going to have it or not.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Diggory, you're the furniture man. Talk to us. What kind of wood is it?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- I would've thought it was oak... - Yep.- ..myself, actually.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- Um...in a naive design.- "Naive". - Naive.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Well, it's fairly crudely carved, isn't it?
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- I would've thought middle of the 19th century.- I think that would...
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Yeah, that's what I would've thought.- Yeah, that would be safe. - Not that I know much about it.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13It's got a bit of an African Ashanti tribe, Nigerian tribe feel to it.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Yeah.- It does.- Yes. - And that's more likely.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- It's more of an African games box. - Do you want it or not?
0:08:19 > 0:08:20All right, then, we'll take that.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I mean, we're going to make money on that one.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Barbara, we're here to make money, right?- You bet!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Let's make some money. Shall we have it?- We'll get it.- First purchase. Let's take it.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Come on. SHE LAUGHS
0:08:30 > 0:08:33My word, there's no messing about with those Blues.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36First purchase made, and in just under ten minutes.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Meanwhile, Stan's back with some price news for the Reds.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42It says £190. I'm going to let you have it for £150.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45SHE GASPS That's good.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Well, it's double ended, so that's only £75 each end, isn't it?
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- It is, yes. Oh, yes.- Yes.- That's one way of looking at it, Stan.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56It's a certain possibility, isn't it?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- And do you think we could squeeze any more?- I can try.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- If you wouldn't mind. - Would you try very hard?
0:09:01 > 0:09:02I'll try very hard for you.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- So, something to think about, Reds. - It's a good thing.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09It's lovely, isn't it? It's really attractive as well.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Meanwhile, Barbara is fishing for nautical knowledge.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- That's quite nice.- Yeah, yeah. Lovely Windsor chair.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Oh, the captain's chair? - No, it's a Windsor.- A Windsor?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- A Windsor chair, yeah. - What's a captain's chair?
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Well, more of... Made for a captain. - Aye, aye.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Ask a silly question, you get a silly reply.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Well, it's good news.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36We can be squeezed very hard and reduce it by another £20.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39So it'll be £130, but you mustn't ask for any more.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41That's the very best.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Will you honour that price if we just have a little look round?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Of course.- Yeah.- Yeah. - I think that's the right decision.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- OK, let's do that.- Thank you very much indeed, Stan.- Thank you.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Thank you.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- TIM:- Keep on thinking, Reds, but don't leave it too long.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00The Blues, however, are still looking at wooden objects.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04That screams...a certain period in time, Barbara,
0:10:04 > 0:10:09- and a certain part of the world. Does it to you?- Not really, no.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- THEY LAUGH - But you're the expert, not me, here. - The Far East.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Yeah, you're getting there. I think it's more India.- India.
0:10:15 > 0:10:21I can see you in India circa 1880, 1890...
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- I know I'm pushing it, dear, but not that much. - HE LAUGHS
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- It's called scene setting, Barbara. - Hang on a minute.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- Hold that a minute. I'll be back. - What... Where's she going now?
0:10:30 > 0:10:36- Oh.- Do you see?- It's all about dressing an item up, actually. Yeah.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37- No, no, no. - HE LAUGHS
0:10:37 > 0:10:38It's all right.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42There's no time for a G and T now, Barbara.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Meanwhile, the Reds are checking out more perfume bottles.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46- SALLY:- They are lovely.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- CAROLINE: Check the stopper.- Ah.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Always best to check.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52It's taken a knock at the bottom.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55So it does affect the value, but it doesn't affect the look.
0:10:55 > 0:11:01I would think they're sort of...well, with that style, 1920s, 1930s.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05See what best price they can do, as it has got a bit of damage?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Best price?- I'll see what I can do for you. I'll try very hard for you.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Thank you.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Well, Stan's certainly keeping busy,
0:11:12 > 0:11:18- but Diggory has spotted some glassware.- OK. Barbara. Barbara.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Diggory's leading us in this direction.- Oh, right.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- Glassware.- Obviously.- That's the end of day ware. The purple piece.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- Oh, yes. Yes.- Sowerby. It's got the Sowerby mark on the bottom.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- Let's have a look.- The lozenge there. - Very good. That's a registration number, isn't it?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- You can date it from that. - It should be a peacock.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- It's late, um...19th century. - Very good.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41What price are we looking at here?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- £35.- Oh.- So tell us what you know about that, Diggory.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Well, at the end of the day,
0:11:48 > 0:11:53they would throw the bits of glass into the furnace and sort of melt
0:11:53 > 0:11:57it down, and then they'd press these little moulded things out.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59They come out in this purple colour, and the colour I prefer,
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- which is a dark green.- Do you have quite a collection of this glass?
0:12:03 > 0:12:09- I've probably got 20 pieces, yes.- So date-wise we're thinking 1890.- Ish.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Yeah, about that. - And look how clever that is, Barbara.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Can you see the actual...the bag straps? Cos it's a handbag, isn't it?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- Yes.- Very detailed. Love the colours.- Yeah, I do.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23The first Sowerby glassworks opened in Gateshead at the start
0:12:23 > 0:12:24of the 19th century.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28From 1846, Sowerby produced pressed glass.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33But it's the glass made in the 1880s, moulded in various shapes
0:12:33 > 0:12:35and designs, for which they're most famous.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Now, back to the Reds, who are waiting on price news.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Yes, we can reduce the price.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44It says £70 the pair, we can make that £50 for you.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- CRAIG:- What do you think? - SALLY SIGHS
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Oh, I don't want to be in a marital dispute here. I'll leave you to it!
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- We're going to think? SALLY:- We're going to think.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- We're going to think. - That's fine.- Thank you.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57I think out of the two, I think I'd go for the perfume.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- The double-ended perfume. - TIM:- Decisions, decisions, eh?
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Halfway through shopping time,
0:13:02 > 0:13:06and it seems both teams are reaching "Make your mind up!" time.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Are we going to make money on that?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I thought if we managed to persuade the powers that be
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- to come down a bit on this one. - Well, I'll see what we can do.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- I'll have a chat with the owners. - If you wouldn't mind, that would be super.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Leave it with me. I'll come back. - £25 would be wonderful.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- TIM:- As poor old Stan heads off yet again for a price check,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24the Reds have spotted something new.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- You guessed it - another scent bottle.- Look at that.
0:13:27 > 0:13:33- Now, what's that?- "Art Nouveau scent bottle".- That's a beauty, yeah.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35But it's £78.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39I mean, it was a silver top, you'd be talking £300ish.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41See what Stan can get for it all.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Well, you'll have to wait your turn, Craig.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Stan's a little busy at the moment.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Here he comes again, though - like lightning.- Oh, hello, Stan.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- I've got some good news for you. - You have, I hope.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- You said that you'd like it at £25. - Yes?- And it can be done.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Put it there.- That's wonderful. - Brilliant. Thank you so much.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Thank you, Stan. That's very lovely. Thank you.- Super.- Good.- Well, sold.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- TIM:- Well done, Blues - that's your second item bought,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06and it's now two-nil.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Now, I've got a price for you on this.- Good price.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13£78. It can be £60, and that would be the very best price.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16So we have to think about the double-ended.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21We've seen this beautiful one, and...which was the other?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24The pair of Deco ones? Now, have we ruled out the Deco ones?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Yeah, the Deco ones I've ruled out. - Right, so we've got 25 minutes left.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- I'm not wanting to pressure.- OK. Can we continue looking?
0:14:31 > 0:14:32It's definitely those two,
0:14:32 > 0:14:37but...I feel it's been the decision on my part so far.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- So let's see if there's anything that you love.- Decision, Sally?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43You haven't bought anything yet.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Also looking at glassware, Barbara and Diggory are in the firing line.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51You know why they're called firing glasses? Diggory?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I can't remember why.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56The turn comes from the noise it makes as it hits the tavern table.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Right. Like the shot of a gun.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00And it sounds like the firing of a musket.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02So you get a firing glass first of all, and then a shot glass,
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- and that's where we get the idea of shot glasses. - Why would you do it?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07To get drunk, Barbara, and have a great time!
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Yeah, but why would you want to bang it down?
0:15:09 > 0:15:13It's what you did in a tavern. "Come on, boys, drink up."
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Smack it on the table. - You men do some funny things.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- We have a good time. Don't we, Diggory?- Yes, indeed. - SHE LAUGHS
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- We might, Barbara, but you girls do too!- Don't panic!
0:15:22 > 0:15:24We've got 20 minutes left.
0:15:26 > 0:15:33Ooh. Ooh. What about this? I like that. Now, that is singing to me.
0:15:33 > 0:15:39- French, burgher.- Sweet.- That is sweet. Now, look at this - £165.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- I think we could do with it a bit lower. CRAIG:- Yeah.- I do, really.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48But it's great. It's a gilt wood chair onto a softwood base.
0:15:48 > 0:15:55- I would say it's about 1870.- Gosh. - 1880. Do you like it, Craig?- I do.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59I'd like to move away from glass a bit. I'm into the furniture.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Stan, may I bother you again, please?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Can we offer £100 and see what they come back with, Stan?
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Yes, you can offer. I'll find out for you. But I'm not very hopeful.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Well, if you don't ask, you don't get. That's what I say.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15It also appears that the Blues are showing
0:16:15 > 0:16:18interest in a couple of chairs.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Yes, test it, and just see what you think.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Yeah.- It's holding up, too. That's good.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24THEY LAUGH
0:16:24 > 0:16:27That's rather ungentlemanly of you, Diggory.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- I like it, but I'll bow to you. - Oh, no. Don't.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- I'm sure you do what you want, Barbara. I'm quite sure.- Moi?- Oui.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38So, it's a no to the chairs, then, Barbara.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41How could we question the face of an angel?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Talking of which, here comes our Stan.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- The offer of £100 is not acceptable. - OK.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49But an offer of £130 would be acceptable.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- Well, Caroline, you love it. Craig? - CRAIG:- I love it.- You love it.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- It's a sellable item.- I think so. Shall we go for it?- Yeah.- You're on.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Good show!- Thank you, Stan. SHE LAUGHS
0:17:02 > 0:17:07At last - 40 minutes into the shop, the Reds make their first purchase.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Phew! Meanwhile, a silver cabinet has caught the Blues' eye.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16What's on it? £260? Right, Barbara. Tell us why you love it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:22- I don't know, but I do love it. - We have Birmingham 1899.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27It's useful, it's pretty, it's silver. It's everything.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- It's got nice hallmarks on that. - But it's too expensive and we need to talk to the gentleman.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32That would be our Stan, I guess.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- You play cards, do you? - I play bridge, yes.- Bridge?- Yes.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40I love the idea that it's made for cards, playing cards,
0:17:40 > 0:17:44and bridge particularly, which adds a huge amount of interest and value.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47The interior is absolutely as new.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50That gold plating will rub off very, very quickly.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I'd love it at £150, because I think at an auction,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55it's going to be estimated at probably £150, £200.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59£120, £160, that sort of money - to be a "come and get me" kind of thing.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- Unfortunately, I think you're right. - But I think you're right.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Because it's a card case, because it's got great quality and condition,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08it could make well over £200.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- So let's...Stan. - See what we can get it for.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- Would you mind giving us your very best on that?- Yes, please.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Go on, then, Stan, do your stuff.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Further down the showroom,
0:18:17 > 0:18:21the Reds are looking at a very similar cabinet.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Look - there's a wishbone and a four-leaf clover there.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25It's a brooch. I think we need both of those, don't we?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29I don't wish to panic you. We do have only ten minutes left.
0:18:29 > 0:18:35- It's only £22.- It is.- How lovely is that?- And how much do we need it?
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- Yeah.- Silver-marked, wishbone and clover.- Wishing anyone good luck.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46The card box, it's at £260. The very best price would be £200.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48It's a real punt. I love that, though, Barbara.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53I'd love you to have a go at it, because I think you might lose £50,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- £60. You might gain £50, £60. - Mmm.- Genuinely.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Now, here's a question.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Do you like living life on the edge, Diggory?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I do to a certain extent, actually,
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- but I'm also a safe-ish person as well. - HE LAUGHS
0:19:08 > 0:19:10That was a rubbish answer.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I was going to say - he's a politician, what do you expect?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Yes, I know.- She's a politician.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- I'm going to ask you - do you like living life on the edge?- Yes.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Well, you know what you need to do, then, don't you?- Don't you?
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- Do it.- Right.- Do it, Barbara. You know you want to.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32- I think we're there.- Yeah? Shall we do it?- Ooh. Ooh, thank you.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34THEY LAUGH
0:19:34 > 0:19:39You are there, Diggory. Your three items are well and truly in the bag.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42You councillors are obviously used to making decisions -
0:19:42 > 0:19:45unlike the Reds, who still need two more pieces.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Well, you have a closer look,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- and I'll see what we can do with the price. £22.- Yes.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- If you could do a really good price, please. SALLY:- Oh, it's lovely.
0:19:53 > 0:19:59- Do you like that a lot?- Yeah, it's cute, isn't it?- Stan, you're back.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01That was quick.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- I know you're struggling, so we can make that for £15.- Oh.- Oh.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Stan, you're a beauty. Mwah. Thank you!
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Yes?- Done.- Yes? CRAIG:- Done, done.- Done.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Done. That's the second item for the Reds.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17But you still need one more, and now you have just five minutes to go.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20You sure need to get cracking.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23There we are. Have a look, and I'll find out the price for you.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28- Thank you.- How old is it?- About 1890. 1900.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32And that's the walnut pick, so you break your nut - or nut pick -
0:20:32 > 0:20:35and you pick out the bits with that. How sweet is that?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- Are we allowed to touch? Hallmarks? - No, no, no. That's just plated.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43And it...it wouldn't ever be in silver, because silver isn't a strong
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- enough metal to crack nuts or any other thing.- Aye, aye. Here he is.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52- Hello, Stan. Back bearing glad tidings.- As always, yes.
0:20:52 > 0:20:58- That is £30, and for you it could be £22.- £22.- Thank you very much.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Right, guys, I do not want to pressurise you now,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03but I'm really starting to glow.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06We have got less than three minutes left. We need to make a decision.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Now, there's these, which are going to be £22.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12They're plated, they're great. Or there's the double-ended scent.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Silver ends, good quality. Victorian.- I cannot make a decision.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Craig, it's going to have to be you. What do you think?
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- I prefer the glass, myself.- OK. Scent bottle.- Are we doing that?
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- Yep.- We've made a decision. The scent bottle, please! Whoa!
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- And I'll give you that back. - THEY CHEER
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Thank goodness for that.
0:21:31 > 0:21:37At last the Reds have all three items. Well done. Disarm the troops.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Time's up. Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44A gilt salon chair cost them £130.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50They pinned £15 on a silver wishbone brooch set with marcasite
0:21:50 > 0:21:52and green glass.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57And finally, they spent £130 on this 19th century scent bottle.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- You happy?- Yeah.- Hey. Too late now if you're not.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06What a ding-dong that was - to get a decision out of you two.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Oh, it was very difficult in the end there.- I know.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- But you're pleased with it, aren't you?- Yeah, it caught my eye.- Yes.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Almost immediately.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17We just had to wait an hour for you to make the decision.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Yeah, we bought other things in the meantime.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23You spent in total, including the double-ended scent bottle, how much?
0:22:23 > 0:22:28- £275.- £275. Who's got the £25 of leftover lolly?- Me.- Can I have it?
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- OK.- Would I be right in saying that is your favourite item, Sal?- It is.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- It's beautiful.- How do you feel about it? You feeling warm?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38I'm very pleased with it, but also the chair as well.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39- That's your favourite, is it?- It is.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Is your chair going to bring the biggest profit?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- Uh, I'd like to think so.- You would?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45We could have a little wager on the side, couldn't we?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48£25 straight over to Caroline.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51So you going to spend it in here or are you going to go elsewhere?
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Have a bit of a stroll around?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Yeah, I'm going to have a little bit more of a stroll here,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57and then I might go elsewhere. But I've seen one or two items...
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Have you? You've got a very sharp eye, Caroline, which is lovely.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02- Anyway, good luck with that. - Thank you.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:23:06 > 0:23:10The grand sum of £5 was spent on this wooden tray.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15A Sowerby pressed glass handbag set them back £25.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18And this late 19th century Birmingham silver playing card box
0:23:18 > 0:23:21set them back £200.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- We had to get something. - That had some quality.- We did.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26You look very, very pleased with yourselves, you three.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Did you have a good time? - Oh, it was brilliant.- Was it?- Yes.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32I'm so pleased, Babs. Now, tell me, Babs, which is your favourite piece?
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- Probably the card holder. - Card holder's your favourite.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37What do you think?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40It sounds as though one's going for the thing one chose oneself,
0:23:40 > 0:23:45- but it was the slagware handbag. - He chooses a handbag and I use...
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- THEY LAUGH - Such is the way of things these days.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Um...which is going to bring the biggest profit, Babs?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- I think...I hate to admit it, but... - The handbag?- Yes, the handbag.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Diggory's handbag.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Do you think that's going to bring the biggest profit, your handbag?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02I think it will, actually, cos we took a risk on the silver,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04which is quite a high-priced item,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07and therefore the pro rata return will not be quite so good.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11This man sounds as if he's delivering something at a board meeting, doesn't he?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13"Pro rata return"!
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Dig, very, very, very amusing. And what did you spend all round?
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- Uh, £230.- Good. I'd like £70 of leftover lolly, please.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22If you insist.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25I'm afraid I do, because I have to give this to my friend David Harper.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28£70 isn't going to go very far, but I promise you I will blow it well.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31It's all very interesting, though, isn't it? Fantastic.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32And off you go, Dave.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36And now I'm going to show you something wonderfully wooden
0:24:36 > 0:24:38and a little flighty that I found earlier on.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Do you know, this antique centre is rather good.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Nearly every stall that I'm visiting,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54there's something of interest.
0:24:54 > 0:25:00Now, if you're sharp-eyed, and you grab a little watercolour like this,
0:25:00 > 0:25:05which is what I've done, you might look very carefully at these birds'
0:25:05 > 0:25:09beaks. See, that looks a bit like a dove, doesn't it?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13But it's got a very peculiar pink bit, like a spur,
0:25:13 > 0:25:18sticking out above its beak, as well as its mate up here.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Have you ever seen a bird in Britain or Europe
0:25:21 > 0:25:23with this curious split beak?
0:25:23 > 0:25:29I never have, and I guess these birds come from a faraway land.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Probably the Indian subcontinent, because in the background we've got
0:25:33 > 0:25:38a broad expanse of water and a wee city or palace beyond.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41To unpick the true value of a watercolour like this,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43you have to do a lot of research.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47But I can tell you with an asking price of £40 for an 18th century
0:25:47 > 0:25:51ornithological original watercolour, that is not a lot of money.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55So that can go into the basket.
0:25:55 > 0:26:01Now, if we remove some of this stuff, I can reveal a very, very,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03strange object.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09This thing was crafted at least three to four centuries ago.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14I guess probably about 1650 to 1680.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17It's a series of lumps of oak
0:26:17 > 0:26:21that now go to form an architectural fragment.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26In another words, it's a bit of a very much larger carved scheme.
0:26:26 > 0:26:32And you can imagine the other half of this fragment going to make up
0:26:32 > 0:26:35the complete half circle that perhaps might have
0:26:35 > 0:26:38sat on top of a doorway.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42But it's the quality of the carving that gets me excited,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45because in this top mould, it's crisp and crisp.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50Underneath here, we get these fully formed eggs and darts.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Then the roundel itself, which is wrapped with wreath,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57and then above that, a spandrel,
0:26:57 > 0:27:02which is flat-carved with lots of foliage and what's called strapwork.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03If you look at the back,
0:27:03 > 0:27:07you get a semblance of just how old this thing is.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11We've got four lumps of wood crudely nailed together.
0:27:11 > 0:27:17There's loads of woodworm, and this very strange grey colour.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Now, the grey colour is what weathered oak becomes.
0:27:21 > 0:27:26But the weathering on this oak has taken it to a very oddball
0:27:26 > 0:27:31silver-grey colour, and that's because this thing, I think,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34has been exposed to seawater.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36And this is why you have to be a bit lateral.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Because if it's not an architectural fragment from a house,
0:27:40 > 0:27:44could it be an architectural fragment from a boat?
0:27:44 > 0:27:48It is just the sort of embellishment that was applied to
0:27:48 > 0:27:53Admiralty vessels in the latter half of the 17th century.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57This could be part of the vessel, the Royal Yacht, that brought
0:27:57 > 0:28:03Charles II over from France when he regained his crown in 1660.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06How about that?
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Well, it gets kind of interesting, doesn't it, as a historical feature?
0:28:11 > 0:28:12How much might it be worth?
0:28:12 > 0:28:17Well, here in the antique centre, it's priced up at £245.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19It's been here for yonks.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20Nobody's bought it,
0:28:20 > 0:28:24and I guess the dealer might sell it to you for £150.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27At that, it's a lovely piece of carving.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31But if you did research the necessary and you came up with
0:28:31 > 0:28:35a bingo, then this thing could be anywhere between £1,000 and £2,000.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37How's that?
0:28:51 > 0:28:52Well, we've come from Leominster
0:28:52 > 0:28:55and we've popped up to Malvern to be at Philip Serrell Auctions with
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- the great man, and it's lovely to be here.- Good to have you, Tim.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59Thank you very much.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Now, we've got a nice mixture here with these Reds.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06- This salon chair with the burgher split cane stuff.- Yeah.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- Very delicate that, isn't it? - It's a decorative sort of lot.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12- We put £50 to £70 on it. - OK, they paid £130.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13That's a good price to pay, isn't it?
0:29:13 > 0:29:16And I think somebody might pay £100 for it. £100 to £150, I think.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- That's what you think?- I do. I do.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- If it had a leg broken off it or the cane was bad...- It's in good order.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24..I'd knock it down in price. Otherwise, I think...
0:29:24 > 0:29:25It's in good order.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30Next, we've got the wishbone, four-leaf clover brooch.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32- Yeah, that's covering all angles. - It certainly is, isn't it?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35I mean, if you're about to get married and you want a bit of good
0:29:35 > 0:29:38- luck, that's your good luck totem, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40I don't see it as being the best thing in the world,
0:29:40 > 0:29:42and we've put sort of £5 to £8 on it.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Yeah, and I think you're right. You see, marcasite is marcasite.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- It isn't as if there's any gemstone in there.- No.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49So it was never expensive in its day.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53£5 to £7 is your estimate. £15 they paid.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- So, you know, it's just pretty. - Yeah.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Now, the double-ended scent bottle, that is a bit of a struggle,
0:29:58 > 0:30:00I think.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Cos clear glass ones are nothing like as sought-after as the coloured
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- ones, are they?- It's all down to what they paid for it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08I mean, we've put £50 to £80 on it, and I think, you know,
0:30:08 > 0:30:10if they bought that for...I don't know, 40, 50 quid,
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- I think they're in with a good chance.- Mmm.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- Unfortunately, they paid £130. - Oh, right.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17And that's why there's a bit of a problem about it.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Because although the condition's pretty good,
0:30:19 > 0:30:23the colour's wrong for £130 double-ender, in my opinion.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- Absolutely right. I agree with you. - So £50 to £75.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27That could torpedo their chances.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30But on the other hand, if the chair does really rather well,
0:30:30 > 0:30:33maybe it'll balance it out, and they won't need their bonus buy.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35But let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Well, this is great, isn't it?
0:30:37 > 0:30:42You are so brave, spending £275 and giving the girl only £25.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45So, Caroline, your challenge - the proof, please, and a bit of pudding.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51- Oh. We did look at that, didn't we? - Love it.- We passed it over.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- Do you like?- Yeah. It's the nutcracker set, isn't it?- It is.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Nutcracker...or they could be used for lobsters.
0:30:57 > 0:31:03And there's the little pick here as well. Original silk velvet lined box.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07Mid to late 19th century. Lovely little set.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- I don't think it's ever been used. - Good gift for somebody.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13- Well, I love it.- Do you? Did you like it when you were shopping?
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- We did like it. - Just have a little handle, Craigie.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- Reintroduce yourself to the nutcracks.- Nutcracker.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- They work, don't they? Yes.- Yes.- In brilliant condition, Caroline, yes?
0:31:23 > 0:31:28- Yes, absolutely.- How much did you spend?- Go on, then - how much?- £22.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29£22.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- Ask her what they're going to bring. - What do you reckon?
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- I think they'll get £30, £35. - Profit in there, then.- Yeah.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- Yeah, I think there's profit in them. - I think it's a pretty item, you see, as well - just to display.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- Anyway, we better crack on... - SALLY LAUGHS
0:31:42 > 0:31:44..and find out for the audience at home what the auctioneer
0:31:44 > 0:31:47thinks about Caroline's nutcracker.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Here you go, then, Phil. Look at that nice little set.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Well, do you know what - these came in as nutcrackers,
0:31:55 > 0:31:58and I wasn't sure whether they were nut or lobster.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00You could use it for lobster - course you could. Bit of crab.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03We put £15 to £30 on them, so I don't know.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06I think they're very nice. £22, Caroline paid.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08I think she's alright with them. I think they're alright.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11She's got the right colour to the interior to the box, too.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13It's lovely to have this colour coding for the Red Team, isn't it?
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Exactly. And she's thought it through.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- For the Blues, first up, a native container.- Yeah.
0:32:18 > 0:32:23- Not native to Malvern.- No.- No. - Um, do you think it's for beans?
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Well...I've seen one of these things once where
0:32:25 > 0:32:29they used it for putting beans in and it's some sort of calculating device.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31How it works, I don't know.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- Uh...I think that that is limited in its appeal...- Me too.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40- ..and I think it's like a fiver's worth.- Fortunately, they paid £5.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- Well, they're home and hosed on that. - Barbara went with it. She invested £5.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- They'll be lucky if they get a profit out of it.- Absolutely.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48The Sowerby pressed glass basket.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50It's quite sweet, but it's yesterday's antique, isn't it?
0:32:50 > 0:32:52It's yesterday's antique.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54They're quite common, particularly around here.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56I think that's between £10 and £20.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58£25 they paid, so they paid a tad too much for that.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- Yeah, absolutely.- Anyway, stand by for the sweet little box.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- That's stunning quality. - You love this stuff.- I do.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05I think it's really, really lovely quality.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Hallmarked silver card case box.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Mark's a bit rubbed if you want to be picky,
0:33:09 > 0:33:13- but that's probably where it's been overpolished.- 1899.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- Yeah, I just think it's really, really lovely.- Yeah.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- And we've put, what, £50 to £80 on that.- How much?
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- £50 to £80. Nice thing.- Is that all? - Why? What did they pay for it?
0:33:23 > 0:33:28- Do you want to know?- Go on.- £200. - Sorry?- £200.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29HE CLEARS HIS THROAT OK.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31- £200?- You're selectively deaf, you know.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33I think we need to look at the bonus buy.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Right. On that happy note, perhaps we should.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- Now, Babs, Digs, how are you feeling?- Fine, thank you very much.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46Are you? You spent £230, which was mature. You gave him £70.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- David, what did you spend it on? - OK, here we go.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Something I think very on-trend right now.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- Oh. Why? - SHE LAUGHS
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Well, over-enthusiasm, I see.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Yes, I'm finding it very difficult to get enthusiastic about it.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Oh, Diggory, come on - you can appreciate that.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- Early 20th century, probably 70 or 80 years old.- Yes.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Anything 20th century now is super trendy.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11It's obviously a milk glass lamp base.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Pressed glass, but it's got the look, it's got the colour, and that thing
0:34:15 > 0:34:19electrified with a lovely shade on there will look the business.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- Where's the wire go? - Modern and funky.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- Where does what-ee?- Where's the wire go?- There. Just there.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- So it's on the outside?- Yeah. - Oh, charming.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- It's a bit of an extra, that. - What did you pay for it?
0:34:29 > 0:34:31That's the big thing.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Well, what would you pay for it, then, seeing as you love it so much?
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- OK, so I paid £25 for that.- Mm-hm.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40£30 to £50 - it's got to be all day long.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43It might look better once it's got a bulb on and a light looking down.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- You've got to use your imagination. - Use your imagination, Barbara.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50Now, you're getting with it eventually. You're getting there.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- OK, well, I think we're a little underwhelmed.- Shall I be honest?
0:34:54 > 0:34:56So am I. THEY LAUGH
0:34:56 > 0:34:59OK, seriously, fact of the matter is if you need it,
0:34:59 > 0:35:02it's there to fall back on, but knowing your luck,
0:35:02 > 0:35:04you'll have so much profit in your back pocket at that moment -
0:35:04 > 0:35:07when the moment comes to decide - you won't be bothered with it.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09But right now, let's find out
0:35:09 > 0:35:11whether the auctioneer can be bothered with it.
0:35:13 > 0:35:18- OK, Phil. It's not Lalique, it's not Sabino.- No.- It's Woolworth's.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Yeah, I think that's probably... I don't know.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25- We might get £20 to £30 for it. What did they pay for it?- £25.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26David Harper's bonus buy.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- You know, we might get him out of trouble on that. - You might do, mightn't you?
0:35:29 > 0:35:32I'll have to swim the Channel to do it, but we'll get him out of jail.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34- You're in good condition, though, aren't you?- Fighting fit.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Fighting for breath and fit for nothing.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39We'll look forward to the outcome in a minute. Thanks very much.
0:35:40 > 0:35:45Is there any more? At £600. All done at £600? And done. Thank you.
0:35:45 > 0:35:46The lot number is...
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Quickly, then - the salon chair you paid £130 for,
0:35:49 > 0:35:52he's estimated at £50 to £70, but I think he's quite wrong.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54The wishbone brooch, you paid £15 for that.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57He's put £5 to £7 on that. I think he's quite wrong.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00The double-ended scent bottle, you paid £130 for that -
0:36:00 > 0:36:04- he's put £50 to £80 on that. - And that's completely wrong.- Yeah.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Anyway, first up is your salon chair, and here it comes.
0:36:06 > 0:36:11Nice-looking chair, that, actually. Good-looking thing. Bid me for it. Start me at £100, someone.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17- £100.- Come on.- £100 I'm bid on the net. At £100, £100. £100 only.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22There's the bid on the net. At £100 only. At £100. Is there any more?
0:36:22 > 0:36:24- Come on!- Any more? - Come on, come on.- £100!
0:36:24 > 0:36:28And I sell to the maiden bid on the internet and done there.
0:36:28 > 0:36:33- Oh, that's cheap.- Done. Thank you. - Oh, dear. £100. That's not good.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Minus £30. Bad luck. Now, wishbone brooch.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40358 is...well, you've got wishbone and clover here,
0:36:40 > 0:36:43so you've probably got a double dose of good luck. Bid me.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Start me off with that...I don't know, wherever you want to be.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Give me £20 to start.- Come on.- £20?
0:36:51 > 0:36:53£10.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57£10 I am bid. At £10. £10 bid. At £10 only. At £10. £10 bid.
0:36:57 > 0:37:02- £10. £12. £15.- Yeah. - This is better. Come on.- £18.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06- Now you're in profit.- £18. There's the bid at £18 only. At £18.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07There's the bid. Any more at all?
0:37:07 > 0:37:12- At £18. And done, then. At £18, and done. Thank you.- That is plus £3.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14There, you've broken the ice.
0:37:14 > 0:37:21- That's lovely. Minus £27, that's all.- Right.- Start me. £150 starts.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26- £100 starts.- Needs to make £157. - Give me £50, someone.- Oh, come on.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30£50 I'm bid just here, at £50. £50 bid. At £50 only, at £50.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- And £5.- £50's awful. - I'm devastated.- Yes, Ned?
0:37:33 > 0:37:38- Not half as devastated as I am. - £60. There's a bid at £60. £60 bid.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- In the room at £60. Any more at all? - Bad smell about.- The net's out.
0:37:42 > 0:37:48- At £5.- Come on.- £65 only. Is there any more? At £65.
0:37:48 > 0:37:53- I can't bear it.- £70, may I? £70. £70 bid. At £70. Fine anyway now.
0:37:53 > 0:37:59- £70.- At £70, and I sell then at £70. And done. Thank you.
0:37:59 > 0:38:04£70 is minus £60. To £27 is minus £87.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07What are we going to do about the nutcracks?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Oh, we've got to go for it, haven't we? In for a penny, in for a pound.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- See if we can crack it with the nuts.- We're going with the bonus buy.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16I can now tell you that his estimate is £15 to £22
0:38:16 > 0:38:19on the bonus buy, so you're in the money there. You should be.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20Here we go. Look.
0:38:20 > 0:38:25- Here comes the nutcracks.- Start me off. £20 for them. Bid me a tenner.
0:38:27 > 0:38:33£10, £12, £15, £18, £20. £25. One more, go on.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Well done, Caroline - you're in profit, girl.- There's the bid. - Lovely.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40At £25 only, at £25. Any more at all? At £25.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- There's the bid. And I can sell, then.- She can spot 'em, I tell you.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49- Yeah.- £25 is plus £3. It's a success.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Now, so that is minus £84,
0:38:52 > 0:38:54which doesn't sound too bad when you say it quick, does it?
0:38:54 > 0:38:58- No.- Anyway, minus £84. You might beat the Blues.- Never know.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59You never know. OK.
