0:00:04 > 0:00:07The antiques-laden town of Leominster
0:00:07 > 0:00:11is twinned with Saverne in north-eastern France.
0:00:11 > 0:00:16So, will our teams to day find that je ne sais quoi?
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Let's go bargain hunting. Mais oui!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49The streets of Leominster have seen
0:00:49 > 0:00:52their fair share of conflict through the centuries,
0:00:52 > 0:00:56dating back to the Battle of Llanllieni in 1052.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Up to today, with our battle of the coloured fleeces.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01The big question is, though,
0:01:01 > 0:01:05will our teams reign victorious or simply be fleeced?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Here's a quick squint as to what's coming up.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12On the programme today...
0:01:12 > 0:01:14The Reds drive a hard bargain.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19- Any chance of 100? - I could try for you.- Could you?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23And who exactly is the expert on the Blue team?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Is it marquetry?- Yes, absolutely. She's good!- She is good.- She's good.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- And the edges, even.- Now, what do you call that decoration?
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- If the floral is marquetry... - Parquetry.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37My gosh, you've been swotting up!
0:01:37 > 0:01:40But will their efforts pay off at the auction?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42And thank you.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Is that good, Ruthie, or is it good? - Yes!
0:01:45 > 0:01:49At £50, I'll sell then...
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Let's meet the teams, shall we?
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Well, I'm definitely the thorn between two bunches of roses today
0:01:56 > 0:01:58of the fairer sex.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01For the Reds we've got friends Ruth and Caroline.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05And for the blues, we've got sisters Nancy and Vanda. Welcome, everybody.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- ALL: Hello. - Lovely to see you.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Now, Ruthie, it says here that you very often send people off to sleep, is that true?
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Help them, probably.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I work as a clinician
0:02:16 > 0:02:20and I deal with people that suffer from obstructive sleep apnoea.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Which is a terrible business, where people can't drop off to sleep.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Well, they can drop off to sleep, but this is where when they go into
0:02:26 > 0:02:29the deep level of sleep at night, they actually stop breathing,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31they snore and stop breathing,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34so they've got no air going into their lungs and so...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36They wake up with a terrible start.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38They have to wake up to breathe, exactly.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Oh, dear. Can you imagine?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Now, Caroline, what's it like being this side of the camera?
0:02:42 > 0:02:47It's great, yeah, because Ruth and I have been off to see some TV programmes being recorded.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50We've been to see Pointless and Would I Lie To You?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52and that was at Pinewood Studios we went to see that.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55You also get to snoop around people's houses?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Yeah, I do carry out viewings for my local estate agent,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00so I go and visit lots of different houses.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02So, what did you do before you retired?
0:03:02 > 0:03:06I worked for a dental practice, for the last 15, 20 years.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Now, what you do know about antiques between you?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- BOTH: Nothing.- Nothing at all?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- BOTH: No.- You're going to do very well on this programme.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Thank you.- And have a bit of fun, too.- Thank you, we will.- Excellent.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Now, you sisters, you've come with your little sister, Nancy?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- Yes, I have. - Is she your closest little sister?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- She's my only little sister. - She's your only little sister?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- What's the gap between you, then? - I'm 11 years older.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Get away! Are you really?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35It says here that you used to share a bedroom with your sister?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- I did, yes.- Was that a success?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Well, she did make quite a mess because she was that much younger.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Yes, of course.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45So, every time I tidied up I came back to another mess.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Now, you've made caring for others your career. Tell us about that.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Well, I started nursing a long time ago.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56In fact, over 30 years ago, and I retired last year from the NHS.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- And Vanda, like your sister, you trained as a nurse too?- I did.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01But you kicked it into the long grass?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05I did. It took its toll, I think, in the end.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07It's quite emotionally draining, I think.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10So, you did it for a few years. And what do you do now?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Now, I - I was hired as a PA for a property developer,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- but I spend my time looking after her adorable little boy.- Very good.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- So, out of you two girls, which is going to be in charge?- Me.- Are you?
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Yes.- Definitely?- Absolutely.- OK, that's agreed then?- Yeah, it is.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30OK, we'll have no bickering. Next is the £300 moment.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34£300 apiece. You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Very good luck.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40So, that's the teams. Now, who are the experts?
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Going, going, gong! For the Reds, it's Caroline Hawley.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49And for the Blues, it's David Harper. Now, he's no dummy!
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- Right, Caroline, what are you hoping to find today?- Something quirky.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00- Also, maybe a small wooden box or a piece of furniture.- Brilliant.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- So, Nancy, and Vanda, two sisters, eh?- Oh, yes!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Oh, yes! Similar taste? - No, but sometimes it does coincide.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09And what about your skills as a hypnotherapist,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11are those going to come into play?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13In a previous life, I was. Absolutely, it's worth a go.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Nancy's good at bargain china. - Oh, yes. Oh, yes!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18You've just realised?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Oh, no, no - I've bought some fantastic bargains. A whole box.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- Shall we go bargain hunting? - Oh, yes!- One hour, and it starts now.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Come on!
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Dive straight in, teams, cos 60 minutes isn't long.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Right, here we are, ladies. Dive in.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Try and test me, because I'm going to be testing you, too. I am.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Well, I'll fail, but you'd better not.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Well, no, don't worry, I often do.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Crikey, David! Expectations are high with your Blues.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50The Reds really aren't hanging around.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Barely through the door, and they've spotted something.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- I'd like something like this. - It all seems intact.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- I mean, what do you think? - I think it's lovely.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Check that all the brass is intact. - The legs are all intact.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05There's no breaks. All these flower things are on.
0:06:05 > 0:06:11It says, "Edwardian brass and copper revolving magazine stand, 145."
0:06:11 > 0:06:13What do you think?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I think everything's right that you said, apart from the price.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20I think the price is a little top-heavy, yeah, at 145.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- But it's great.- So you think at the right price it's saleable?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- It needs to be the right price, yeah.- Sure.- I think it's saleable.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Would you use it yourself?- I think so.- I think I would, actually. Yeah.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Cor, they already know the man who can.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Let me call... Stan?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Hello! Hello, Stan.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40May we have your very best,
0:06:40 > 0:06:45very special price on this lovely magazine rack, please? Very special?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- I'll see what I can do for you. - Very special.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50You're using your hypnotism. Don't look into her eyes, Stan.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Thank you, very much.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56The Blues are drawn to something, but it's not a pencil.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- It's got lead in it.- You know why, don't you? You know what it is?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- It's a crib, yeah... - Why has it got a lead lining?
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Is it for plants, or something?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Doesn't that make it a flowerbed?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- It's been upcycled, it's been changed.- OK, then.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- But do you think it's one for us? - No.- Ah.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I don't know. How much is it? Let's have a look.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Oh, my gosh!- Oh, well, we couldn't afford that.- 295.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Definitely not. We'd only have a fiver for everything else.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23It's very nice, though.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Do you know, it really is great to see an outdated object
0:07:26 > 0:07:27given a new lease of life.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29I've got good news.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34The price of this is 145, but it can be yours for 110.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Any chance of 100?
0:07:36 > 0:07:37- Well, I can try for you.- Could you?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I will see if I can squeeze it down a little bit more.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Just a sec.- BOTH: Thank you.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I fear you could be doing
0:07:44 > 0:07:47a lot of toing and froing with this team, Stan.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Yes, ladies, I've got good news for you. It can be done for £100.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59You are amazing. Thank you very much. You've made our day.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Well, I never!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Less than five minutes gone and that's your first buy, Reds.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Now, are the Blues on the scent of a bargain?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- That's a really lovely perfume bottle, I've got to say.- Yeah.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- And I do like a perfume bottle. - Do you like them?- I do.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Do you both like perfume bottles? - Yeah, I like perfume.- Halleluiah!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- We agree! We agree?- That's really lovely.- Do you two lust after that?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Talk about it, I'll go and get the keys.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Has it got snakes? Or a plant? Or a flower?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- I think it's a flower.- I think it's a flower as well.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- "Possibly Baccarat."- Ooh!
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Right, you two. This is Jenny. - Hello, Jenny.- Hi, Jenny.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- JENNY: Good morning.- Can we open this one, please, Jenny?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- I've just read, it's possibly Baccarat.- Oh, Baccarat?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- That's a French... - Oh, that's gorgeous.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46So, that, obviously, is silver plated, isn't it?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48But it's got an iridescence to it,
0:08:48 > 0:08:52almost like petrol floating on water. Do you know what?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56The glass itself doesn't excite me. It looks like pressed glass.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- It's the top.- It is the top. It's gorgeous.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Is that the stopper? - Let's have a look.
0:09:02 > 0:09:09A good stopper should sit in, should twist maybe one and a half times...
0:09:09 > 0:09:14..and it'll be tight. And that's fixed it. And that's a good stopper.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15But it's very big.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I always think about the quantity of perfume you would have had to have bought to put in there,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- you would have had to have had a lot of money. - Yeah, that's a good point.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24You would have had to have had an awful lot of money.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- But it is, yeah, I would have said about the '20s. - I think you're absolutely right.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33It's got a bit of an Art Nouveau feel to it with that old Gallic decoration, the floral decoration,
0:09:33 > 0:09:38which would date it to 1890 to 1900, but I feel it's a bit later.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41You've got that stepped decoration on the glass
0:09:41 > 0:09:43which is almost deco like.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Jenny, what kind of price could we get that for?
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Let me make a call.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Would you mind?- No problem.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- NANCY: Could you try 30 to 50? JENNY: 30 to 50.- Ooh!
0:09:52 > 0:09:55After buying the first thing they saw,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57the Reds are now taking their time to look around a bit.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Jenny's back with a price for the Blues.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- 50 would be the bottom line.- OK. 50?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I think it will go in at 30 to 50,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08so you've got a chance of losing a bit,
0:10:08 > 0:10:12but I think there is every possibility it'll make £70 or £80.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Come on.- I think it's lovely. I think we'll take a chance.- Shall we?
0:10:15 > 0:10:20- Definitely.- Wonderful. Jenny, thank you very much indeed.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Thank you.- Thank you.- Fantastic.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Right, we'll leave that there and we shall get going.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- Come on, first one down. Nice to do it.- Goodness me.- That's lovely.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Smells like teen spirit to me.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Good work, Blues.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36The scores are level with just over 20 minutes gone.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- That a little spoon. - That's pretty, isn't it?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Mother of pearl handle. Pretty, pretty spoon, but £58!
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- A lot of money, isn't it?- It's an awful lot of money.- Yeah. No, no.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51I think it's too much.
0:10:55 > 0:11:0042 quid. Bargain! Bargain! 42 quid!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Go on. Vanda, you go in.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- You don't like it?- No. - It's old. It's very old.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08You two are very funny.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11It just doesn't say, "Come buy me." It doesn't say, "Come buy me."
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- It's not pretty but it's functional. - You were just say it was lovely. - I like it!
0:11:14 > 0:11:17But it's not very pretty but it is functional.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- We've still got some money. - Would you buy it?- No.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- There you go, put it down.- Not for myself, no.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Would you buy it to try and make some profit?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Yes, I would try and buy it to make a profit, but I'd want it for a lot less.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- Well, I mean, what is it? - Well, it's a compote.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32It's something that would sit on a table,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35you could put anything on it - fruit, biscuits.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38They've dated it at 1900. I've got to say, it's much earlier than 1900.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41If that was 1900 it would be marked "England."
0:11:41 > 0:11:44It's positively Staffordshire. How old do you think it is?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48I would say early 1900, or even a bit earlier still.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50It has to be earlier. What do you think?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54It's earlier. We know, instantly, by looking at the base there -
0:11:54 > 0:11:56"Ironstone Marino."
0:11:56 > 0:12:01There's no country of origin, so instantly, its pre-1891.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03If it said "made in England," but after the First World War.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05There's loads of rules of thumb in this business
0:12:05 > 0:12:08but that is English, made in Staffordshire,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- and it's not 1900, and it's 1840, 1850.- And it's an antique.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I love it, I love it. Well, Vanda, what do you feel?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17It's a real antique, it's 1840 to 1860.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I accept all of that, but to me, it doesn't say, "Come buy me."
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Well, would you be interested if Nancy can get it for 20 quid?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27If she can get it for 20, go for it.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Do you want to try and then if you can't get it for 20,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- we draw a line under it? - Yeah, that's it. Yeah.- OK.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Because you see these at the fairs, you know, the flea fairs.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Do you want me to take it to the counter?- Would you?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- You to do what you're best at, and talk.- Bicker!
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- OK, then. 20 quid?- No.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Really not keen, are you, Vanda? But the clock's still ticking.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- Ruth, Caroline, come and look at these vinaigrettes.- Oh, look!
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Look at that beautiful little one there.- Oh, it's a tiny one.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Do you think I ought to go and get Stan and get a key?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Yes.- Yes, yes, yes! - Please do, Caroline.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Now, will Vanda be cheesed off
0:13:01 > 0:13:04if David's got the price down for that compote?
0:13:04 > 0:13:09You're going to be disappointed, because we've got it.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14- We've got it! I'm so sorry. - Oh, well, oh, well. Oh, well.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Well done.- You should be careful what you wish for.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20"Well done," she says, through gritted teeth. Good on you, Nancy.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- Go for it.- Well, I got it for less than half price.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- I might eat my words, mightn't I?- You might.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- Well done. Item number two, we're on fire. Come on! Let's go.- Thank you.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Approaching the 30 minute mark, teams.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36So, you're not out of the woods yet.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Reds, you really need to bag that second buy soon.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43The little one on the right, please. Yeah.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Is that the one you liked?- Yeah. - That's the one, yes.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- That's really sweet, isn't it? - Beautiful, isn't it?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51So, this is a delightful little vinaigrette.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54It's tiny, it's got lots going for it.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56It's got this little chain here,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59which you could hang from a watch chain,
0:13:59 > 0:14:03and it would be there to shield yourself
0:14:03 > 0:14:05from those unpleasant foul smells.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09In 1840s Britain, a time before proper sanitation,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12vinaigrettes were used by both men and women
0:14:12 > 0:14:16as a kind of portable personal air freshener.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Open it up, it's silver gilt inside, which is quite normal.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22And the hallmark in the lid, with Queen Victoria's head.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27A very young Queen Victoria's head, because it is, in fact, 1843,
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- so how long was she on the throne? - History? Not my forte!
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Six years. And then we've got the grille here, the pierced grille.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Very pretty, but not as pretty as some. But pretty, nonetheless.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44But I think it's had a little bit of damage and repair.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46So, will that detract from it?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49It will, any damage detracts. But it's not major.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54So, I think, price dependent, a little bit of damage is acceptable.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59We'll open it up and we've got the full hallmark here at the bottom.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- So the price of this one is? - The price is £150.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05So do you think if we could get that down
0:15:05 > 0:15:08then we may make a small profit?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Yes, I think it needs to be £100.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- I know that's a hell of a lot to ask.- Yeah.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Do you think we can do a deal with Andy?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- I think we ought to have a word, yeah.- Right.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- Over to you, Ruthie!- Andy...
0:15:21 > 0:15:23HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Look into my eyes.- Don't be too harsh.- Look into my eyes.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- He's scared! - Where do we need to be?- Please.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Well, with a little bit of damage, 100.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I was thinking more of 110, we might be able to get to that.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Hmm...- It's got to be 100. - It's got to be 100.- I'm sorry.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Is that a question or an offer? - It's an offer.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42- OK, I'll take that, then.- Lovely.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Thank you very much. All three of you!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Well, Ruth's hypnotising strikes again
0:15:48 > 0:15:52and the pressure's of for a bit, too.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Oh, I really like this. Oh, this is very pretty.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Tell me why you like it, Nancy.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59You know, I like all this different types of wood.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- Do you know what they call that? - I'm not sure, is it marquetry?- Yes.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- Oh, right, OK.- She's good! - She is good.- She's good. Yes.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- That's lovely.- Looks a bit oriental. - And the edges, even.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Now, what do you call that decoration?
0:16:13 > 0:16:17If the floral is marquetry, what is the geometric decoration called?
0:16:17 > 0:16:22- Oh, parquetry.- Parquetry! My gosh, you've been swotting up!
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Hello!
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- How much is it?- I think it's only 20 something pounds.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- If that's 20 something pounds, we're having it.- OK.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- We'll take it, yeah, definitely. - OK, I think going to be miles away.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34VANDA GASPS
0:16:34 > 0:16:36My goodness, I missed off the other two!
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Well, I think we should try and get it for 25, Nancy.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Go and do your best!- No!
0:16:41 > 0:16:43That's why I thought it was such a bargain.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46When I saw it, I thought, "God, that's lovely."
0:16:46 > 0:16:48You thought it was 25 quid?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I thought we would make a fortune on that.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54OK, but nice to look at and well spotted. A good eye, a good eye.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Come on. We're doing a lot of gassing, not very much buying.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Sound advice, David.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Talking about hot air, how do the Reds let off steam?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I love this.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09What have we got?
0:17:09 > 0:17:10THEY GASP
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- 120.- Oh, gosh. Caroline?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16We love this. Could you give us some help?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- What do you think? - Oh, is that you've found?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21That is so typically Victorian.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26- Part of the whole team making ceremony.- It's beautiful.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30You'd have that, probably in your drawing room, on a wonderful table.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33You'd light the little burner at the bottom
0:17:33 > 0:17:37and that would just keep it at the right temperature to make your cups of tea.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- Shall I show you how it works? - Please.- It's lovely.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42If I just step in...
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I don't make a lot of tea because I don't drink tea myself,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48but it would be nice and warm water in here
0:17:48 > 0:17:50and you just tip it - it's hinged here -
0:17:50 > 0:17:52enough to pour into your teapot.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55And back. And it's all complete.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57It's in good condition.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Shall we just have a look if there's any marks on the bottom?
0:18:01 > 0:18:08- EP.- Which is?- Silver plate. - Electroplated nickel silver.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10But if you look at it at a distance,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- it looks very much like a silver mark.- It does.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I like that.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Now, we need to look at the price, which is £120.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24So, it's certainly got to be the 100 mark,
0:18:24 > 0:18:28but it really needs to be less, because I need something, too.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- How much is your minimum, then, do you think?- I don't know.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- Shall we give it a go?- Yes, go on Ruth.- I'll do my best.- Thank you.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40Shame it's not full, we could all enjoy a cuppa whilst we wait.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- Did you see that picture frame? The copper picture frame?- I saw that.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- What you think, Vanda?- It doesn't do much for me, I must say.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Nancy, does it do it for you? - Depends where it's come from.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53What you mean, "Where it's come from?"
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Well, if it's Liberty's, it's worth a fortune, isn't it?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- But I don't think it would be. - It is good enough for Liberty's.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Oh, is it?- Absolutely.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04And that Liberty's mark would make this thing worth five times
0:19:04 > 0:19:08what it might truly be worth, purely because you got that brand.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10There's nothing there
0:19:10 > 0:19:13but if that was retailed by Liberty's in 1905,
0:19:13 > 0:19:15it is so desirable it is unbelievable.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17But we're not interested in that?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- No, I don't think so.- OK, OK.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Hard work, you two. Come on.- Sorry.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Nice try, David, but these girls certainly know what they like.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Red Ruth has better news for her team, though.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Got it for...80!
0:19:30 > 0:19:35Well done! Well done, you. So, are we happy with that? Are we buying?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- What you think?- I love it. - I really do, yeah.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- Brilliant, so we're going for it? - We're going for it.- Excellent.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Fantastic. Do you know what?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47got We've got all our three items in the bag, done, in 39 minutes.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Brilliant! Let's go and have a cup of tea somewhere.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Come on, then. - Cup of tea! I'm gasping!
0:19:54 > 0:19:56How fitting, a cup of tea.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Blues, what are you stewing over?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03David, look, we found these.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07We really rather like them.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10I know exactly what they are and I absolutely adore them.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12But for those who don't, they're pincushions.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14The elephant isn't as rare,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- but is incredibly charismatic.- Yes.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Everybody loves elephants, don't they?
0:20:20 > 0:20:24These things were made to be used. They weren't made just as ornaments.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I mean, look at the wear on that Velvet, which is original.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Let's think about the filling.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Sometimes they were stuffed with horsehair and if you squeeze them...
0:20:34 > 0:20:38..you can hear the crunch so I think that's the original hair.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Hallmarks, let's look for those. There we are.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43It looks like Birmingham.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I tell you what, let's look at the ticket.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Well, it says Edwardian, 1908, circa 1908.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51They're absolutely bang on.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Let's have the little baby.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- The same model, isn't it?- They're identical, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58So is it an Indian?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00It's an Indian elephant, yeah,
0:21:00 > 0:21:021908, Edwardian period.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04It's the height of the Raj.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08So this is reminding someone of their days in India.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11So it's very romantic. I think they're wonderful.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Prices - we've got 265.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Yeah.- 195. Right, let's get mercenary.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Would you risk a big chunk of your money
0:21:20 > 0:21:22on your third and final objects?
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Yeah, because I think they're very attractive.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27I mean I don't know,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29would people go for the larger elephant than the small?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33I think if you're going to go for it, let's go with the bigger one.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- If we got it for 180...- It would be good.- But what if we don't?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- Because last time...- If we don't get it for 180, then it goes back. - Right, OK.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- How about that?- Try for 180. - This is a good tactic.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- So have we agreed? You're going to bid in 180.- OK.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- If you get it, we own it.- Yeah. - If it's any more we don't.- Move on.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53OK then...
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- Shall I try?- Go for it.- Go, girl.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58- Here I go.- Go, go, go.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Hurry, though, Nancy, a little over five minutes left.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06It's great. You certainly were as good as your word.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Fast and furious.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Fantastic, brilliant.- I got my trainers on.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Brilliant, cheers.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Cheers.- Cheers.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Hmm, shame there's no tea.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Just as well really, because you don't like tea, do you?
0:22:18 > 0:22:19No, I don't.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21THEY LAUGH
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Well, I've got bad news I'm afraid.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27I couldn't get it for 180.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Right, so then it has to go back.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Well, actually, I agreed to 185.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- You've done it?- Is that OK?- Have you done the deal?- Yeah.- You've done it.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- She's done the deal. - An extra fiver between friends.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Between friends, OK.- I thought it was quite good, really.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Well, you know what? It is a beautiful object.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46It's stunning.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50- I thought you really wanted it, so I had to get it.- Aw, bless, bless. - Well done.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Time's up, stop the shop, let's check out what the red team bought.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Nice lamp. 60 quid.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Hot off the press they got the brass
0:23:03 > 0:23:07and oak revolving magazine rack for £100.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Next up, they sniffed out the Victorian silver vinaigrette,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13again paying £100.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Lastly, they walked off with a silver-plated kettle
0:23:17 > 0:23:20and stand for £80.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Well, that was quite a shop-and-a-half, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26It certainly was. Now, tell me, which is your favourite piece?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I'm a bit torn between the lovely teapot,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31which I would buy for myself, but I think it's the vinaigrette.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33They're lovely little things. So do you agree?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- The vinaigrette? - The vinaigrette is the best.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- I hope so.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Fine. You're like two peas in a pod.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42BOTH: We are.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Welded from the hip. OK, you spent how much?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- £280.- Fair enough.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- Who's got the £20 of leftover lolly? - Me.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Thank you very much, that's absolutely peachy. £280.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- That's a mature amount of money. - It is.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Was it good for you too, darling? - It was excellent, thank you.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- Not much, £20, is it?- Not much, no, I shall do my best with it.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02I'm sure you will. Good luck.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the blue team bought.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09First up, they bought the 1920s scent bottle for a fragrant 50.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Next up they dished out £20 for the blue and white ironstone comport.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19And topping things off nicely they settled on the elephant-shaped
0:24:19 > 0:24:24novelty pincushion for a mammoth £185.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- Nancy, Vanda, how are you going, kids?- Very good, thank you.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31I mean a whole hour out with David Harper, how was that for you?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Exhausting.- Really? Super.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- Just how flush are you, how much did you spend?- £255.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- I'd like £45 of leftover lolly, please.- Of course.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43There's the £45.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Now, tell me, Nancy,
0:24:44 > 0:24:48which of the pieces that you bought do you particularly fancy, Nancy?
0:24:48 > 0:24:53Well, actually, I quite like the perfume bottle.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Do you agree with that, Sister?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I like the elephant pincushion.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00No, I think it's going to bomb.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02So what's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:02 > 0:25:05I this think the horrible bowl is going to bring the biggest profit.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08That's my favourite, I bought that bowl.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11You're quite close you sisters, aren't you?
0:25:11 > 0:25:12That's my bowl that is.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14MIMICS: That's my bowl, that is.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- It is, I chose it.- It's the same with her dollies as well. - Genuine antique.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19I believe you.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22You clearly had quite a testing morning I'd say, David.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Anyway, there's 45 smackers there for you to do your worst with.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- I will do my worst, don't you worry about that.- Good luck, David.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Meanwhile, I'm heading off to the most gorgeous
0:25:32 > 0:25:35part of an antiques centre with the most divine little
0:25:35 > 0:25:38collection of antiques you ever did see.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Cor! This looks nice, doesn't it?
0:25:46 > 0:25:50I mean, some of the dealers in these antiques centres
0:25:50 > 0:25:52really take trouble in their display.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56This man has coloured the walls with this lovely, deep,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Oxford green
0:25:58 > 0:26:02and he knows that this is an excellent colour to display
0:26:02 > 0:26:05rustic and rural furniture and pieces.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08A quintessential English, oak,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11drop-leaf table in the middle,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14ideal for six people to dine from.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17And then as a bit of fun he's taken something
0:26:17 > 0:26:19he's purchased in France,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22described as a baguette tray,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24circa 1900.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27So a big, long, French loaf would have gone in this.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29We don't have many of those in Britain,
0:26:29 > 0:26:33so he's got some artificial apples as an example as to what you might do
0:26:33 > 0:26:35for displaying fruit on a table.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37That will cost you £38.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I love the use of his objects.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Up there we've got the front of a 17th century,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Welsh, oak, Bible box.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46We haven't got the whole box, or the lid,
0:26:46 > 0:26:50we've just got the lunette-carved front with the old lock plate
0:26:50 > 0:26:53and it looks delightful
0:26:53 > 0:26:54and that too is £38
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Over here a bit of blue and white, transfer printed,
0:26:58 > 0:27:02the most commonly produced willow pattern,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04but a lovely clear image.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06You can see the willow,
0:27:06 > 0:27:09you can see the bridge with the figures running across it
0:27:09 > 0:27:13illustrating the story of the distressed maiden
0:27:13 > 0:27:16and that could be yours, yes, you got it, for £38.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19These things are not expensive
0:27:19 > 0:27:21and some of them
0:27:21 > 0:27:24are seriously wacky, like this.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26It looks just like a bread peel,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29the sort of thing you bung a loaf into an oven
0:27:29 > 0:27:34or maybe a pizza into one of those lovely wood-fired ovens.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Anyway, if you think it's a peel, it's not.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40It's made of honey-coloured, English oak
0:27:40 > 0:27:44and it's actually a paddle for a coracle.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Now, coracles are typically used
0:27:48 > 0:27:49on the River Severn.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52It's a lightweight, portable little dinghy,
0:27:52 > 0:27:55normally for one person made of tarred cloth with
0:27:55 > 0:27:58a lightweight frame inside and you sit on a thwart,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01that's the seat in a coracle,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03it's an incredibly light, little boat
0:28:03 > 0:28:05and it's designed to use to cross a river.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Or to go fishing from.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Anyway, this is a coracle paddle
0:28:09 > 0:28:13and I was told by a man at the door here,
0:28:13 > 0:28:16who turns out to be a bit of a coracle oracle,
0:28:16 > 0:28:19how to paddle a coracle.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22It's got this very long handle because you stick it
0:28:22 > 0:28:25underneath your armpit like that, you grip it like that,
0:28:25 > 0:28:30sit down on the bench and put the paddle in front of you, not behind.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34You put it in front and you execute a peculiar figure of eight
0:28:34 > 0:28:38motion in the water and such is the dynamic of the paddle
0:28:38 > 0:28:42that it draws you forwards, which is very peculiar.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46Anyway, that's what it is, a coracle paddle.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48How much would a coracle paddle cost you?
0:28:48 > 0:28:50On a good day here in Herefordshire,
0:28:50 > 0:28:52it could be yours for £28.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56That's not expensive, if you need a coracle paddle.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03And our teams have made the short trip down to Malvern
0:29:03 > 0:29:06where they hope to make waves rather than ripples in the sale.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10We've come over the county border from Herefordshire to
0:29:10 > 0:29:14Worcestershire to be at Malvern with Phil Serrell.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- How lovely is this?- Good to see you.- Very lovely to be here.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Phil, we've got some real antiques here knocking about.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24- They've done well, haven't they? - As a glance it looks promising.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27So we've got the magazine rack. Gilt metal, a bit of oak.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28Is it yesterday's antique?
0:29:28 > 0:29:29I fear it is, really.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32We used to sell those for 100, £120
0:29:32 > 0:29:34and now I see that making £40-£60.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38They paid £100. It's very difficult because
0:29:38 > 0:29:43it has a function, you do want to tuck away the old radio Times and that kind of thing
0:29:43 > 0:29:46and from that point of view it works well, but who wants it?
0:29:46 > 0:29:48It's clutter, isn't it?
0:29:48 > 0:29:51OK, well, it'll be interesting to see how that gets on.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55Now, the vinaigrette, is there a smell of that in Malvern?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Not a bad odour. I think that example is just a little bit tired
0:29:58 > 0:30:03and I don't think there's a market for them now, but there was perhaps a few years back.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06I would see that making £60-£90.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- They only paid £100. - That's not too bad.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12I'm not sure I'm so partial to this spirit kettle. Late, isn't it?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15It's very late. I don't know what they paid for it but I think it's probably £30 worth.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- £80 they paid.- Ouch.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20So that really is into the hot water, isn't it?
0:30:20 > 0:30:24- I think they're in it there. - In fact, that could be their big downside,
0:30:24 > 0:30:28and if it is, they'll need the bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- Well, girls, how are you feeling? - Nervous.- Are you?- Good.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Nervous about the bonus buy reveal? Dear, oh, dear.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38You spent 280, you parted with £20
0:30:38 > 0:30:42and trusted Caroline to go off and find something splendiferous.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45So, Caroline, what did you find?
0:30:45 > 0:30:46Oh, sweet.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49We needed a tea service, do you remember?
0:30:49 > 0:30:53- We needed a cup of tea and we had nothing to drink it in.- We did, yes.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Well, there's six place settings, Seaforth pattern,
0:30:57 > 0:31:00all in perfect condition, Staffordshire pottery,
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- blue and white, ticks all your boxes?- I love it.- Do you?
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- £20?- £15.- What?
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- Six cups...- £15 for the six cups, saucers and plates.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- All in perfect condition? - All in perfect condition.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Have a little handle because that's transfer printed, not terribly old.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18What do you think? 50, something like that?
0:31:18 > 0:31:22It's very in at the moment. People have these when they have tea.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26- It's all this cake baking business. - Everybody's mad on it.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Yeah, people are going for this.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31And blue and white is timeless, everybody loves blue and white.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34£15 for six cups and six saucers,
0:31:34 > 0:31:36I mean, that's ridiculous, isn't it?
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- It is.- What do you think we'll get at auction?
0:31:38 > 0:31:41I think it's going to get £30. I think we'll double our money.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Yeah, I think so
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- Brilliant, thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49- Well, that's marvellous, isn't it? - It's great.- We love it.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Let's find out for the audience at home
0:31:51 > 0:31:53whether the auctioneer loves it.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Well, Phil, full set of six.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59It's cups, six saucers, six plates.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- Right.- What can you say about that? Not old.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04No, there's no age at all and I suppose if you've got nothing
0:32:04 > 0:32:07to have your cup of char out of in the morning
0:32:07 > 0:32:10at 5-10 quid it's ideal.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- OK, £15 she paid. - Well, you know.- It's a bonus buy.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16OK, £15 paid £5-£7 is the estimate,
0:32:16 > 0:32:18that could struggle.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:32:21 > 0:32:22And now for the Blues
0:32:22 > 0:32:26and we kick off with this scent bottle which looks handsome.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28I like that. I think it looks better from a distance
0:32:28 > 0:32:33because this would have been lovely if it was silver gilt, but I think the glass is quite good quality.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36I just think it's a nice thing. We've put £30-£50 on it.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38£50 paid.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40David found it. He's pretty canny with that.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- They're all right with that. - Now, the comport.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45I'm not sure it's really for cheese.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Is it a stilton stand?
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Ah, missing its cover. Of course, that's the answer.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- It's a stilton stand.- Yeah, should have a cloche on the top.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56OK, rather faded and weedy colours, aren't they?
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Yeah, and also a little bit stained.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Perhaps ten or fifteen years ago it might have made £30-£50,
0:33:01 > 0:33:03but now I think £10 or £20.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06OK, £20 paid. No problem with that.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08And Vanda went with the pincushion.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10She absolutely adored this heffalump.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12He's lovely and I looked online
0:33:12 > 0:33:14and I found perhaps ten or twelve of them
0:33:14 > 0:33:18and all of them bar one made between £100 and £160
0:33:18 > 0:33:20and one made over £300
0:33:20 > 0:33:23and that was because he was sitting down and that's just the difference.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27OK, good, so, estimate? How much are you putting on that?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29We put 80-120 as an estimate.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- A bit of a tease that.- It should make three figures.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33It needs to make £185.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36It needs to make the three figures towards 200.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39That's a lot of three figures, and I don't think they'll do that.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41But you do photograph this stuff, it's on the Internet.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44It's illustrated in the catalogue and on the Internet.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47You never know, it could be leading the herd, this.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49If it's a phone bid, it'll be a trunk call.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50THEY LAUGH
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- Oh, dear.- Sorry. - Where does he get them from?
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Anyway, on that happy note they could need their bonus buy,
0:33:54 > 0:33:57so let's go off and have a look at it.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02- Hey, you kids, you're having fun today, aren't you?- We certainly are.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Now, tell me, Nancy, have you got the faintest idea about anything?
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- Not the foggiest. - What about your sister?
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- Do you know anything about anything? - Nothing at all.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- We make a good team, because I don't know anything about anything either. - Stop being so modest.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Anyway, there we are, there's your bonus buy.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18You had £45 to go and find it.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20What did you find, Dave?
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Have you ever seen anything...
0:34:23 > 0:34:27quite as magnificent as that?
0:34:27 > 0:34:28What do you think it is?
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- Is it a...?- I'll give you a clue. What does it say?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33"Toilet".
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Oh, no, that's revolting! Oh, my God!
0:34:36 > 0:34:39But I'm going to tell you something.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43You always think this thing is a toilet, but it's actually a pitcher
0:34:43 > 0:34:46and what you'd do is you'd buy a bowl with it.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50This is the water pitcher and it would sit on a cast iron frame.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53You'd fill it with water and rather than using an old pitcher...
0:34:53 > 0:34:55It's a jug!
0:34:55 > 0:34:57It's a jug, but people always think they're potties.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Well, well, well, aren't we learning some stuff, Dave?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03It's a very rare thing.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- I should think it is. Who made it? Doulton?- Doulton.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09You've got one of those metal washstands and you've got the right cradle
0:35:09 > 0:35:13that that sits in, just give it a tip and the job is done.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16- It's just really cool.- What do you think, Vanda? Does it grab you?
0:35:16 > 0:35:19- No.- Oh, after all that? - I mean its...
0:35:19 > 0:35:21It's different
0:35:21 > 0:35:24and I'm sure it was very fashionable in its time.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- No, it wasn't, it never really took off.- It didn't take off.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30That's why it's rare, then. How are you with this, Nancy?
0:35:30 > 0:35:34- Well, now I know it's for water I'm better.- You're feeling better?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- I'm feeling better. - What's the condition like?
0:35:36 > 0:35:39It's not brilliant. We've got a chip here.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41- But it's basically only the chip on the front?- It is.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45The handle has survived, the body of the thing is all perfect,
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- not much damage.- Were missing the bowl and the cradle, of course.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51The bowl and the cradle and its chipped and it's weird.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54OK, Vanda, we've got a nice little summary there.
0:35:54 > 0:36:00- How much did you pay for it?- 38 and I think it was an absolute steal.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01Anyway, on that happy note,
0:36:01 > 0:36:05let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Dave's pitcher.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Here we go, Phil, not terribly savoury.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12No, the thing for me was stay away from damage and this has got a big chip in the front.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16- For me it's just like £10 or £20 worth. What did he pay for it?- £38.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18So, £10-£15 is the estimate,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Harper paid £38.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Whatever will happen in the auction?
0:36:26 > 0:36:2850, 60
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Well, girls, it's not looking brilliant.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34£100 you paid for the magazine rack. He's estimated 40-60.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39- The silver vinaigrette you paid £100 for. He's estimating 60-90.- Not bad.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43And the spirit kettle you paid £80 for. He's estimating 30-45.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46So, first up is the oak and revolving bookcase
0:36:46 > 0:36:47and here it comes.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52Edwardian brass and oak revolving magazine stand.
0:36:52 > 0:36:5330 I have, 30 bid.
0:36:53 > 0:36:5830 and five, 35, £35 only,
0:36:58 > 0:37:00and 45, 55 with me.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05- At 55, 55.- Up we go.- At 65.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Any more at all? At £65 and done, thank you.
0:37:08 > 0:37:1265 is not so bad, minus 35.
0:37:12 > 0:37:13Now the vinaigrette.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16I've got two bids of the same money.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- I've got to start at £80. - 80! That's good.
0:37:19 > 0:37:2190, 90 bid.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23At £90. 100, 110.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Yes, yes.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27At £120, there's the bid.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29At £120 only.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Is there any more? At £120.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Yes!
0:37:32 > 0:37:35At £120 and done, thank you.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Is that good, Ruthie, or is it good?
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- Yes!- So that's plus 20. You're still minus 15.
0:37:41 > 0:37:42Here we go.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Start me off, bid me £50, someone.
0:37:45 > 0:37:46Bid me £30, someone.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48How much?
0:37:48 > 0:37:51You're all heart, that's your trouble, isn't it?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53£10?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Mr generosity the door's behind you.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57At ten, I'm bid at ten.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59£10 at ten,
0:37:59 > 0:38:0312, 15, 18, 20, 25, 30.
