0:00:05 > 0:00:08In the past, the county of Hertfordshire
0:00:08 > 0:00:10has had regal connections.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15Nowadays, much of it sits in what is called the London commuter belt,
0:00:15 > 0:00:19so it could have what they call "rail connections".
0:00:19 > 0:00:20HE LAUGHS
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Let's go bargain-hunting! Yeah.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Briefly home to Henry VIII's second wife,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Anne Boleyn,
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Sawbridgeworth stands beside the River Stort,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02a river rich in variety
0:01:02 > 0:01:04and history.
0:01:04 > 0:01:10The big question is today for our teams, will they finish up any richer or will they get the chop?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Coming up later on in the show...
0:01:16 > 0:01:18..the Reds lose a needle in a haystack.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I've not lost them, where were they?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I saw them two minutes ago.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26And the Blues head right off track.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27HE LAUGHS
0:01:27 > 0:01:32- It's ghastly!- I know, it's hideous. - It's absolutely horrendous! - I totally agree.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39On the show today we have two teams of friends.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42We have Patricia and Stavey for the Reds,
0:01:42 > 0:01:46and Myra and Sheila for the Blues. Hello, everyone.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47ALL: Hello.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52You two are the best of friends, but it wasn't always like that, was it?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54It definitely wasn't always like that.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Did you hate each other once?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57I wouldn't go as far as "hate", but let's just say
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- it was tense.- Was it?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I wouldn't say tense. We don't even agree now, do we?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05We looked at each other and I remember thinking,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07"She's a bit common."
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Oh! Well, that's nice(!)
0:02:09 > 0:02:10What did you think?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I won't tell. It's not good on air.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16We can't blaspheme at lunchtime.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19But how many years ago was this, when you did first meet?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21BOTH: 21 years ago.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Really? You were children.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24- Absolutely.- Yes.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- But you patched up your differences...- We did.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29..and became best mates. Isn't that nice?
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Good.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Patricia, it says here you're a bit of a thrill-seeker.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36I've done abseiling for charity, 150 feet down
0:02:36 > 0:02:39a building, done a skydive last year.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41That was good fun?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Fantastic.- So it is high-octane adrenaline that gets you running?
0:02:44 > 0:02:49You could say so. You want to make sure life keeps up its pace, you don't want it to tail off.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50That's where I'm at, really.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54How are you rating the excitement of coming on Bargain Hunt on your scale of one to ten?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Is it like jumping out of an aeroplane?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59It's a nine, let's see if we can get to a ten.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Ha-ha, how sweet.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Stavey, you're pretty active, too.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Do you do this high-jumping business or not?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08No, my fear of heights won't allow me to go that far
0:03:08 > 0:03:10but I tend to go for the outdoors. I love to salsa
0:03:10 > 0:03:12and combine music with festivals,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14so dancing is my thing.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15SHE GIGGLES
0:03:15 > 0:03:17The outdoor life.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18The outdoor life.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22What do you know about collectables and antiques?
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Tim, I have to confess
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I don't know much at all.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I am not a collector of antiques,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29but I do have a keen eye for bargains.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I think you will do jolly well. Very good luck, girls.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- BOTH: Thank you. - Lovely to see you.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36So, there you have it.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38This is fun, isn't it?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40You two also met some years ago?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Yes, some years ago.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44It was at New College of Speech & Drama.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47We were students together.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Myra, the creative arts
0:03:49 > 0:03:51are now a big part in your life?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Yes, but I have switched now to more writing.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I belong to a couple of writing clubs
0:03:56 > 0:03:58and I also like to pen poems.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Oh.- Not fruity sonnets but more little ditties.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Sheila, you also have a love of entertaining,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07and it's not on the stage any more?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09No, I like to cook...
0:04:09 > 0:04:11for friends and family.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13When you have done all this cookery
0:04:13 > 0:04:15for your mates and you have them round,
0:04:15 > 0:04:19do they get the full monty and laid-up table and all that?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Yes, they get some antique plates sometimes
0:04:21 > 0:04:25and some nice glasses, if I can be bothered to wash them up.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I think it makes a difference, don't you?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- Presentation is all. - I think it is.- It looks better.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Do you think you will get on all right today?
0:04:33 > 0:04:34No bickering?
0:04:34 > 0:04:35BOTH: No.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37We are great pals.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38We do a lot of this together.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43You go "van-tiquing" or whatever they call it?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- "Junking," I think.- What fun.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47£300 apiece.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Here we go with the £300 to the left and £300 to the right.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Very good luck, and you know the rules.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Your experts are waiting and off you go!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Let's meet the experts helping out today's teams.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Up against the clock and striking at the heart of the Reds,
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Natasha Raskin.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10And Charlie Ross is hoping to bowl our Blue maidens
0:05:10 > 0:05:12well and truly out.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Come on, girls!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18My word, you have to be fit doing this buying lark.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Absolutely.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Off left.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26You will find the energy from somewhere, trust me.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Armed with £300, both teams must now find three items
0:05:28 > 0:05:33in under an hour to take to auction. The challenge is on!
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Stavey and Patricia, your hour of bargain-hunting
0:05:37 > 0:05:40is about to begin. We are surrounded by treasures,
0:05:40 > 0:05:41but what are you thinking?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I'm thinking something practical but pretty.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I love it. All the Ps,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50and, Patricia, what are you thinking?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Along the same lines of pretty but functional.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I like your thinking, I think we have a lot to see,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58so let's head off.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I don't see anything I want to buy.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08You haven't seen half the things, girls.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12It's no good saying, " I can't see anything I want to buy." You haven't looked!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- You keep whizzing round! - I'm doing my best.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Calm down, Charlie.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18You have only just started to shop.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Whizz, whizz. They need to concentrate.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Charlie must be feeling the pressure. It could be his age.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Hi, I heard you saying
0:06:28 > 0:06:30you were looking for something pretty and functional.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33We have an old bird cage which has never been seen
0:06:33 > 0:06:35by any customers here.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36It is definitely worth a look.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Thank you. Do you mind if I take it?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Please do.- That's fab.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- PATRICIA:- What colour is that?- It is patinated metal,
0:06:44 > 0:06:45so it has been painted up
0:06:45 > 0:06:47and I really like it. What do you think?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49I do like the designs on it.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52There is an ageing look, which is in, isn't it?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Exactly.- Would you keep a bird in it nowadays?
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Is there any other use for it?
0:06:56 > 0:07:00I think it is a shabby-chic interior design kind of thing.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03These are used for, increasingly, putting in flowers for weddings
0:07:03 > 0:07:06and things. People have flower arrangements coming out
0:07:06 > 0:07:09of the metal, and I think it is really a bit of an all-rounder.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Have you seen the price tag, ladies?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14It is £35.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I have to say exactly reasonable.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18So it is ticking off the practical.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21but what do you think about the pretty?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24You mentioned shabby-chic, so it is not something you would have to tart up to sell?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26If this were to come perfect,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I don't think it would have that
0:07:28 > 0:07:31retro-vintage feel, so I think the fact it is a little shabby-chic
0:07:31 > 0:07:34could work in its favour. At £35..
0:07:34 > 0:07:36What is the best price?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I can ask the dealer.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40How low can they go?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42So you want to go for it?
0:07:42 > 0:07:43- PATRICIA:- Yes, please.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- NICK:- I'll see what I can do and come back.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Thank you so much.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Let's see what Nick can do for us.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57Last time we saw the Blues, they were arguing. Now it appears they want to break into song.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58So, after me...
0:07:58 > 0:08:01# Moon River
0:08:01 > 0:08:03# Wider than a mile
0:08:03 > 0:08:07# I'm crossing you in style some day... #
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Well, anyway.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13It's ghastly!
0:08:13 > 0:08:14I know, it's hideous!
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Absolutely horrendous!
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I totally agree with you.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21But coming from an era when people had these gramophones in their sitting rooms,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24by Dansette, HMV.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26That is just a small copy
0:08:26 > 0:08:28of one of those awful bits of furniture.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Strangely, the full-size ones now are making money.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Can you buy different records for it or does it only do one tune?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Now you've broken it.- I haven't!
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Perhaps I have. No, I haven't.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47One can buy different records, do you think? How exciting(!)
0:08:47 > 0:08:50How much is it? Are you seriously thinking of buying this?
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Absolutely.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53But, Sheila, if you buy it, it's yours!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55£16.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57You really want it?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59We need to have a system here.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Let Sheila buy something.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05I'll let you buy something and see who makes the most!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Or the biggest loss.- All right, then.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Then we'll have a third thing we all agree on.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- That's good.- Strangely, I think that is the most ghastly thing I've ever seen in my life.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16That's why I like it.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17But that doesn't mean
0:09:17 > 0:09:19it will fail in the auction, does it?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Shall we send her away and do a deal?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24The best price you can get.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- Come back with a smile on your face. - I'll try.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29We'll see if we can find something while you do that.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Blimey O'Riley!
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Although Charlie is not particularly pleased with the choice of item,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42hopefully Sheila will come back with a decent price.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Meanwhile, how are our little Red chicklings getting on
0:09:46 > 0:09:48waiting for a price on the bird cage?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Nick, how did you do?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Dealer said £28.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57For £28, we're beating the retail price. Absolutely brilliant.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59What do you think?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I say deal.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02- It's a goer?- Yes.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Thank you for your hard work. £28, it is.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Well done, Reds.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Try and cage that excitement, will you?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12So that is your first item bought.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15What news on the Blues' novelty music box?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17How have you done?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Not very well, I'm afraid.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- 14.- Oh, God!
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- What do we think?- We think no.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25We both think no, but
0:10:25 > 0:10:27we can carry on looking.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30We know we have that in the bank, as it were,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34and if we can't find anything else, we can say, "Sheila, you win, "we'll have that."
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Fair enough. - Are we happy with that, then?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- Yes.- Do you think that's the way to play it?- It's a deal.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42We might find something else, cos it's early days yet.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Come on, then, girls.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47You still have time to think about it, girls.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49We are now ten minutes into the shop.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51What have the Reds spotted?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I am totally drawn to this.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Is that an Art Deco sort of thing?
0:10:58 > 0:10:59It is absolutely beautiful.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It's an oversized perfume bottle
0:11:01 > 0:11:04but you can see the container for the liquid.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08It's tiny, so this is OTT
0:11:08 > 0:11:09and pretty fabulous, actually.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Do you think it's worth having a look at?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I'd like to handle it and see.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Although this is an Art Deco reproduction,
0:11:16 > 0:11:20antique perfume bottles have been collected for centuries.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Certain Chinese bottles can cost serious money,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28but the price of some early Roman pieces start from around £50.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Not bad for a fragrant piece of history, eh?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33NICK: It's very, very heavy.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Also, some slight damage inside it.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40You can see little glass...
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Is that the dipper?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44It's very, very heavy.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47You have to twist it.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49It's beautiful.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54I just want to feel it. Ah, that's broken off.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I think everything about
0:11:56 > 0:11:58this item smacks of quality.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01I think what works in our favour is the fact
0:12:01 > 0:12:05that it is broken but the original dipping stick is still in there,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08so it would not be a new item attached. We do have the chance
0:12:08 > 0:12:10to restore it to its original glory.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Look at the beautiful optical illusion
0:12:13 > 0:12:16of the cut-outs inside. It is so beautiful.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Something for a lady to covet.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- 70.- It's £70.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22But we're here to find a bargain,
0:12:22 > 0:12:26so I think we want to see how well we can do. What would be your gut feeling, ladies?
0:12:26 > 0:12:2855 would be fantastic to pay for it.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Otherwise, I think it's beautiful and we like it,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33but I am not sure we can make much profit on it.
0:12:33 > 0:12:3558, max. Yeah, 55.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I'll say it. I can't make the price.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39The dealer does.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40NATASHA: Thank you so much.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Let's wait here, we await the results. Gosh!
0:12:43 > 0:12:46It's like Strictly Come Dancing or something.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48The results will be in soon.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52As the Reds await news from the pricing panel,
0:12:52 > 0:12:56it seems the Blues have spotted a wine coaster.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I wondered what you thought of that, Charlie.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Now, girls,
0:13:01 > 0:13:05I like a coaster because that is something
0:13:05 > 0:13:07a lot of people would want to use.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08It is not just an ornament, is it?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11it would look really nice in the middle of a table setting.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- It is silver-plated, not silver. - I'm afraid so.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- EPNS, which stands for... - Electro-plated nickel silver?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Sheila, she's impressive, isn't she?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23That, I'm sure,
0:13:23 > 0:13:25is faux-tortoiseshell.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28If you look at the pattern on it, you can see that's a man-made pattern.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30It's very attractive.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32However, it is attractive.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34And the silver plate looks fairly, in fairly good nick.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36It isn't pretty good order.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38At auction, I would like to see it make between
0:13:38 > 0:13:39£30 and £40.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Do you think we'd get anything off that?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- How much is it?- We live in hope.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46It all depends who it belongs to.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Excuse me, my dear. Could we trim it a little?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Do you have permission to trim a little bit?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53I would have to contact the dealer.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Do you know the name of the dealer?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- Billy.- Billy!
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I think we are of a mind that if we could get that for £25,
0:14:00 > 0:14:02we would splash the cash.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03BOTH: We would. Happy? BOTH: Yes.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- I'll try.- That is really kind of you, thank you, we will keep our fingers crossed.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Back to the Reds.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15As they say on Strictly, the results are in.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17OK.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19£58.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Brilliant!
0:14:20 > 0:14:22That is just perfect!
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Yeah!- Absolutely brilliant.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26NICK: Do you want to have a feel of it again?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I think this smells like a profit.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- It's lovely.- I love it.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34I think this is gorgeous.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Dancing with joy. The Reds have now made their second purchase.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45But, at 30 minutes in, the Blues are yet to buy anything.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48So, what's the news on the wine coaster?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51The lowest he can go is 30, because he knows
0:14:51 > 0:14:52it's a good one, as well.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Oh, they all say that.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57That's an interesting one, girls.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00I would go with it for that.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01It is your choice.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I think it will still make some money, even at that price.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Yes, let's go for it.- You happy? - Yes.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09And I think it is a good thing.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Thank you. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15We'll have it, my dear. Tell Billy he is 30 quid richer.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17We will keep our fingers crossed.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Finally, something in the bag for the Blues. Well done.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Now, let's catch up with our Reds.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Oh, yeah, that's lovely.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28"Slightly larger than usual Victorian trunk..."
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- £65.- "Excellent condition
0:15:31 > 0:15:33"and quality, inside and out."
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I really like that, I think that is absolutely gorgeous.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38It looks like wood, doesn't it?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- It's a very nice effect. - I am really surprised it was tin.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I really like it and these trunks
0:15:43 > 0:15:44are really popular at the moment.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47In fact, there are a couple down the bottom
0:15:47 > 0:15:50about £45 each, different travel trunks.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54I thought maybe as a lot, the dealer might give this them for around £80,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56maybe even £60 the pair.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59They could be quite nice if you want to have a look. They are pretty cool.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Let's have a quick look.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Follow me. I didn't think they'd be your cup of tea.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08but now I have heard you talking about this trunk, I am thinking,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10"OK..."
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Off you go, then,
0:16:12 > 0:16:16and do some travel trunk research, girls.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19It seems Charlie is getting arty.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22What about that, Charlie?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24That is very, very nice.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26And it is an antique.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30I would love to see an initial on it.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Or a name, but you can certainly see
0:16:32 > 0:16:35that has real quality.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Charcoal, pencil and gouache,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40she is a good-looking woman,
0:16:40 > 0:16:42very much a statement of the time.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46I should think maybe 1870 or 1880.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Over 100 years old.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49We are in a gilt frame,
0:16:49 > 0:16:53which I would suspect is a little bit later.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Perhaps an Edwardian frame.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59But perfect for the subject, and I would think
0:16:59 > 0:17:01the frame is in good condition,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03and I have to say I like that very much.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06It is £58. Shall we see if we can do something with this?
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Yes, please.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Come over, sir.- I'm Bob.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Charlie, nice to meet you.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- These are my two...mentors. - I'm Sheila.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19We love this.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21You know what I'm going to say.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23We don't love the price.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Only so much that there is no signature on it.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Has it been here years, Bob?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Came in yesterday, that one.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Bob, you have all the language!
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Why was it at the back of the pile?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- BOB:- We didn't want you to see it.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38You wanted it for yourself?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42I'll be honest with you, Bob. I think it might make £45 or £50 at auction.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45If it could be bought for £40...
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I'll give Julie a ring.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Obviously don't twist her arm.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52You can twist it very gently, Bob.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Tell her we don't really like it but we'll take it if it will help, OK?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I think that is the wrong attitude. We love it.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02We should not tell fibs.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Off you go then, Bob, and do your stuff.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Just make sure you come back with a decent price.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10I've completely lost them.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12We came down here, did we?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14They're here, they're here.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16No, no, no, no.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Is it these trunks here?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19You see some trunks?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21A trunk with a...
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Have I lost them?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27I am so sorry. No, I've not lost them. Where were they?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I saw them two minutes ago.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Perhaps we'll come back in a moment, Natasha,
0:18:31 > 0:18:35once you have found what you're looking for.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Here is Bob back with news for the Blues.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40The lady says yes.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Fantastic!
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Bob!
0:18:44 > 0:18:46If only we had tried 30.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I'll wrap it up for you.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Well done, Sheila.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Sheila the dealer!
0:18:53 > 0:18:54THEY LAUGH
0:18:54 > 0:18:57So, for the grand sum of £40,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59the Blues have bagged themselves a second purchase.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Well done!
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Oh, my goodness, this is terrible. I can't actually remember
0:19:04 > 0:19:06where I saw them.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09These aren't trunks, they're boxes stacked on each other.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Have I lost the plot entirely?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14We need to make a decision. I am getting panicky again.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17I should have pointed them out to you.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19How much time have we got left?
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Let's make a decision.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22How did I lose them?!
0:19:22 > 0:19:26When I saw those two trunks, which I've lost,
0:19:26 > 0:19:28because I am an idiot,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I couldn't think they would be something you would be interested in.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33But then you just went to that. What do you think?
0:19:33 > 0:19:37I think you have talked your way quite well out of that one, Natasha.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40We have literally minutes on the clock
0:19:40 > 0:19:42and we're thinking about this trunk here.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45We love it. What would be your best price?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47It is sitting at 65.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51We were hoping you might go to, sort of, 48.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- It does say "no trade". - Is that what it means?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I could find out if they are willing.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Would you be so kind?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Thank you very much.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Give me five minutes and I'll get back to you.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08But the Reds don't have five minutes
0:20:08 > 0:20:11and the Blues need you too, Bob.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14We need you in three seconds, Bob.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17We are down to about three minutes, Bob. Quick!
0:20:17 > 0:20:19There is a pair of silver spoons here
0:20:19 > 0:20:22but I suspect, at £220,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- they are very much modern... - Oh, dear.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25..rather than Victorian.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I think on the label, if they were Victorian,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31it would say Victorian. Thank you.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Can you tell us the age?
0:20:32 > 0:20:36I would be able to tell you the age if I can look at the hallmark.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39They are Walker & Hall, so they are a good make,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41but they are modern.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43What do I think they would make at auction?
0:20:43 > 0:20:47I think they would make £135/£140 at auction.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52But I am probably not going to be able to...
0:20:52 > 0:20:53It's a big drop.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55It it's a big drop.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Could he find out what he would do? Cos, Bob, you're pretty good at this sort of thing.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Bob normally goes off and comes back and says yes.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04What about the Reds, Bob?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Actually, forget that.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09They don't seem to be in any rush at all.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- I spotted it.- No, I spotted it. - I spotted it!
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I'm staying out of it.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15Are we going to argue?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17At least we agreed on it, yeah?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19But I did spot it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21And Natasha agreed it was a top price.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I agree that both of you spotted it.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27That is the right answer.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30What?! You're too diplomatic.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- What's the verdict? - Can't get hold of him.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Right, that's made up our minds. How long have we got, a minute?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Yep.- OK, Sheila...
0:21:38 > 0:21:42The great thing about Bob not being able to get this person on the phone,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45and I suspect you probably said to Bob,
0:21:45 > 0:21:47"Don't make too much of an effort, Bob..."
0:21:47 > 0:21:49I gave him a fiver, actually.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52So that you could have that ghastly thing!
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- She's got her way!- She has.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Put it there. We've got to buy it
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- because we have no more time. - All right, Charlie.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04So, the novelty music box
0:22:04 > 0:22:07is the Blues' third and final item.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Shopping is over for them.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Go on, Bob. What news for the Reds?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- I can't get hold of the dealer at the moment.- Aw!
0:22:14 > 0:22:18But if you're still looking around, I could keep trying for you.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20We only have 90 seconds left.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22What are you thinking, ladies?
0:22:22 > 0:22:26I'm thinking 65 is a bit much.
0:22:26 > 0:22:2860 would be lovely.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- You couldn't make your decision...? - Use your discretion, put it down to 60?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- BOB:- I'm not too sure.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37We don't want to get you into bother.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- PATRICIA:- Speak for yourself, Tasha.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- BOB:- I can't, because I'd end up paying for it myself.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Exactly.- It's fair enough.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47What do you think? It's cool
0:22:47 > 0:22:49and it is bold.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- We've got seconds to go. - We'll take it.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53We like it, we'll go for it, yeah?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55I wouldn't be too worried.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Bob, £65, it's a deal.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Thank you very much.- Thanks, girls.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Thank you, Bob. Sorry to put you in a tricky spot.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05That's it, the Reds have finished, too.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07And with seconds to spare.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Their 60 minutes are up.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17They fluttered away the sum of £28
0:23:17 > 0:23:20on this so-called 19th-century bird cage.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23A fragrant £58 was sprayed
0:23:23 > 0:23:26out for an Art Deco-style scent bottle.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29And they packed £65 of their budget
0:23:29 > 0:23:32into this tin travelling trunk.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36That was nerve-racking stuff, I have to say.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37What did you spend altogether?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39£151.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I'd like £149, please.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- I have 145.- Have you?
0:23:45 > 0:23:46And there's the four.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48And that's the folding money. Thank you very much,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50that goes over to Natasha.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- Thank you.- Quite a lot, isn't it?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54It is quite a lot,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56but I could find something still at a bargain,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00because these ladies liked a bargain. Not happy with full price.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02That is the name of the show.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04And that's what we like to hear.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Now, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12They poured £30 into the 20th-century
0:24:12 > 0:24:15silver-plated wine bottle coaster.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20£40 was spent on a 19th-century portrait of a young lady.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24And finally, this 1960s novelty music box
0:24:24 > 0:24:26was bought for a song.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Just £14.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Sheila, did you have a good time?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- Very good, thank you. - Did he look after you?- Very well.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35How much did you spend?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- £84.- On the lot?!
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- Yes.- Is that all?!
0:24:39 > 0:24:41We surprised ourselves.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43When you go out buying frocks, then,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45you go for quarter-price frocks?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47We're very frugal.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49My children used to think shops were called S-A-L-E.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51HE LAUGHS
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Very good. The careful mother.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56OK, so I would like
0:24:56 > 0:24:58£216, please.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- There you go.- Thank you very much.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04£250. And we get the one bit of jetone. OK, there you go, boy,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06a lot of money. I hope you're going to spend the lot.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10I certainly will. Every single penny on one item!
0:25:10 > 0:25:12That's what I like. Super.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Well, good luck with all of that, Charlie. Meanwhile, I've got a little something to show you
0:25:16 > 0:25:19that might be of interest to a bookworm.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Oh, hello. This is interesting, isn't it?
0:25:29 > 0:25:34It says on the label, "Carved and inlaid Indian book slide."
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Which is, strictly speaking, what this thing is.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Except it's no ordinary bit of carving.
0:25:41 > 0:25:47Just look at the way the craftsman has treated this bit of sandalwood.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Tightly carved with crisp foliage and flowers,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53and centred by a pair of fighting dogs.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Even more craftsmanship
0:25:56 > 0:26:01has been displayed in this inlaid band around that rectangle.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03If you hone in, you can see
0:26:03 > 0:26:06that here we've got ivory, little chips of it -
0:26:06 > 0:26:10and no ivory issues with this because it was made over 100 years ago -
0:26:10 > 0:26:15cut into triangles, each of which geometrically fit
0:26:15 > 0:26:20with some grey stuff that happens to be cut solid silver,
0:26:20 > 0:26:22and because the silver's not been polished
0:26:22 > 0:26:24it looks grey and tarnished,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27but if this was polished up you'd get a delicious
0:26:27 > 0:26:30contrast between the creamy white of the ivory
0:26:30 > 0:26:35and the bright silvery metal. But look really closely at it,
0:26:35 > 0:26:40because I reckon just in this band around the central panel
0:26:40 > 0:26:45there must be the top end of 2,000 or 3,000 little chips,
0:26:45 > 0:26:49expertly inlaid and put together to make up that pattern.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53So there's a heck of a lot of work in it,
0:26:53 > 0:26:57and in India this type of inlay is called Sadeli,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00and actually as a book slide it is a little gem.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04But, if you don't have a collection of Penguin Classics
0:27:04 > 0:27:06to put into this book slide,
0:27:06 > 0:27:10why not think about using it for some CDs?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Here we go, look. Piles and piles of CDs.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16We've all got 'em, lying around at home
0:27:16 > 0:27:21irritatingly bunging up surfaces and falling about,
0:27:21 > 0:27:25but if I load up the so-called book slide with a few,
0:27:25 > 0:27:27look how effective that is.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31So this thing does have a modern, practical purpose.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35So how much, then, for the book or CD slide?
0:27:35 > 0:27:40Indian, circa 1880, beautifully inlaid,
0:27:40 > 0:27:44it could be yours, here today in Sawbridgeworth,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46for £50.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47Not a lot, eh?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Well, how lovely is this? We've trotted down to London to High Road Auctions,
0:28:06 > 0:28:10to be with our auctioneer Ross Mercer. Ross, good morning.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- Good morning, Tim.- Well, we've got a seriously mixed bag today,
0:28:14 > 0:28:19kicking off with the rather tatty nicotine-encrusted bird cage.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23It's certainly something you'd expect hanging in a Victorian
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- tea plantation 150 years ago.- Yeah.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- But it's repro, isn't it? - It is, no great age, Tim.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- Anyway - I don't rate it. - I think it's a bit of fun.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Perhaps £40, £50 on a good day.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39OK, I suppose I'm being hard on it. The team paid £28.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44Which I suppose is not so much. Next is the Deco-lookalike scent bottle.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Big lump of glass for you. And eminently useful as well.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Now, if this was a period bottle,
0:28:50 > 0:28:53if it did date from the '20s, it would be worth a lot of money.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58- It would be, yes. Over £1,000. - I mean, a lot of money.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59But how do you value a reproduction
0:28:59 > 0:29:02when there could be thousands of these?
0:29:02 > 0:29:06- On that we've said £30 to £50. - Oof! That's not much, is it?- No.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09£58 the team paid, so we'll see what happens.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12And lastly, we've got the old tin trunk.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16Yes, there has been a revival of vintage luggage recently,
0:29:16 > 0:29:20and it's gone hand in hand with vintage costume
0:29:20 > 0:29:22and places like Goodwood and Ascot,
0:29:22 > 0:29:24and you see these things strapped to the back of classic cars
0:29:24 > 0:29:27so I'm hoping someone is going to want that.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- I quite like that. OK, how much? - We've said £30 to £50.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Ooh - £65 paid.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35So, apart from the bird cage,
0:29:35 > 0:29:37the estimates don't exceed the purchase price, in which case
0:29:37 > 0:29:40this team is definitely going to be their bonus buy.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41Let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- Now, Patricia, Stavey, this is exciting, isn't it?- BOTH:- Yes.
0:29:45 > 0:29:51£149 is a small fortune to entrust to someone so young.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Now, Natasha, show us your worst.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56OK, ladies...
0:29:56 > 0:29:59We have got this ceiling lamp.
0:29:59 > 0:30:04Art Deco ceiling lamp, oak and fretwork and nice tassels.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08- What do you think? You look absolutely devastated.- Oh, my God.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11But I love it, and I thought it sort of fitted in with the things
0:30:11 > 0:30:12that you were buying.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14OK, Stavey, tell us what you're thinking,
0:30:14 > 0:30:17you're making these grunting noises here.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20I need to know.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- It's unusual. - You think it's hideous.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- She hates it.- I'm not, like, jumping at it,
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- but it's unusual.- OK.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29What are you thinking, Patricia?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32I don't like it. I don't like it.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- Tell us what you really think(!) - No. I don't like it at all.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36Do you think it looks a bit tatty?
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Yeah, it does, even with the trims.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43You'd have to trim it all off, then it would just be a square.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Now, you have to ask the big question.
0:30:46 > 0:30:51And the big question is, how much of the £149 did the chicken spend on it?
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- Well, I hope it weren't too much. - £42 I spent.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58And I reckon it should garner at the auction
0:30:58 > 0:31:01something in the region of 50, 55.
0:31:01 > 0:31:06Do you like it any more now that you know it only cost £42?
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- No!- No. OK.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Well, your moment to decide
0:31:10 > 0:31:14will come after the sale of your first three items.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16But right now, for the audience at home let's find out what
0:31:16 > 0:31:19the auctioneer thinks about the lampshade.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25And as if by magic, rising from the floor, like the phoenix,
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- a light fitting.- Fret cut...
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Looks like something made in a shed to me.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- I think it's shed work.- I don't think you're far off there.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38- What do you think it's worth? £10? - On a good day probably £20 to £40.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40If someone enjoys their early oak.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42OK. £42 paid.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45They're going to have to be very, very lucky. I'll try my best.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46Oh, I'm sure you will.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Well, on that basis I'm going to pop it down there,
0:31:49 > 0:31:51where it belongs, on the deck.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Right - that's it for the Reds, and now moving on to the Blues,
0:31:55 > 0:31:57who have been truly eclectic here.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00We've got a really nasty reproduction
0:32:00 > 0:32:04bottle coaster, in my view, with a plastic bottom. Am I being unkind?
0:32:04 > 0:32:08No. It follows the Sheraton period,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11however, its quality doesn't really
0:32:11 > 0:32:15add up to anything antique, and we've catalogued it accordingly.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- What's your estimate?- Well, on that we've said £20 to £40.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21OK. They paid 30.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24And having been really rude about it it'll probably go and make £200
0:32:24 > 0:32:26and I'll look really stupid,
0:32:26 > 0:32:29- but I don't care.- I'll do my best. - That's how I feel about it!
0:32:29 > 0:32:34On the other hand, I'm quite fond of Smiler there on the wall.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Yeah. She has everything going for her.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41- Right age, good-looking and nicely executed.- How much?
0:32:41 > 0:32:42Well, we've said £80 to £120.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Have you? Gosh. £40 they paid.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Very good.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50Their final item, which has come all the way from Japan, I suspect,
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- in about 1960, the stereo radiogram. - It's special, Tim.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- Is it your favourite?- Erm...no.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59However, I can tell it's one of yours.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- Yes.- It doesn't do a great deal for me, however, there are collectors
0:33:02 > 0:33:05out there who would thoroughly enjoy taking that home with them.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07- Yes.- We've said £10 to £20.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09They paid £14 for it.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12On that basis I think this team could just get about get away with it.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16They may not need their bonus buy but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19- Well, girls, this is exciting. - It certainly is.- Totally.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22I don't know what Charlie's got up to underneath there.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24I'm very, very pleased with this lot.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28It's a gamble, but it's something that took my eye
0:33:28 > 0:33:29the moment we went into the shop.
0:33:29 > 0:33:3395 I spent, so about half what you gave me.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Ooh...
0:33:36 > 0:33:37Got a giggle, if nothing else.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41That's marvellous, isn't it?
0:33:41 > 0:33:43It's gone down quite well.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- Do you know what it is?- They're egg cups, aren't they?- They are.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50- And an egg coddler? No? - Boiler.- Yep. Boiler. Coddler.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- And it's pure Art Nouveau.- It is.
0:33:54 > 0:33:59And it's made by a man called Carl Deffner, who is German.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04He worked in metalwork and some of his items make - I'm not
0:34:04 > 0:34:08saying this will - but some of his items make a huge amount of money.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10And you can see - well, I can see why.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- I think they are extremely stylish. - They are.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Whether somebody wants an egg coddler and egg cups is
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- anybody's guess.- It's lovely. I really like that.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- I just think it's down to chance. - What did you pay again?- 95.- Mm.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24How do you feel, Sheil?
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Well, I think we might take a punt, but we'll have to discuss it.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Nearer the time. Depending on how well our other items do!
0:34:31 > 0:34:34You're absolutely right. You don't have to pick now.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37You pick after the sale of your first three items in a moment.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38But right now, for the audience at home,
0:34:38 > 0:34:42let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Charlie's egg boiler.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48- Well, look at this, Ross. How do you rate this?- I like it, Tim.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Nice example of Carl Deffner's work.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54An eminent metalworker in Germany in the Art Nouveau period
0:34:54 > 0:34:56and it's got real style.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58I mean, if you didn't like the rest of it,
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- you've got six jolly good egg cups. - That's right.- Marvellous.
0:35:01 > 0:35:06We've said £80-120, which I think is pretty fair for what it is.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09OK, well, Charlie Ross will be delighted because he paid
0:35:09 > 0:35:13£95 as a bonus buy and he needs you to sell it for £100, frankly.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15But we're about to find out at the auction.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- How excited are you? - Oh, I'm nervous.- Are you?
0:35:27 > 0:35:30What have you got to be nervous about?
0:35:30 > 0:35:34- Oh, I don't know, it just seems scary.- Does it scare you?- Yes.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- Are you frightened at all? - Erm, no.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40- Calm as a cucumber, what can I say? - OK. Children, here it comes, then.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42First up is the bird cage and here she comes.
0:35:42 > 0:35:48Lot 64 is the decorative 19th-century style bird cage,
0:35:48 > 0:35:49surely £10 somewhere.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Come along. At £10. 15, bid 20.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55And 5. At £25, I'm bid at 25.
0:35:55 > 0:35:5828, if it helps you? 28.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59I've changed his mind.
0:35:59 > 0:36:0430 now from the internet, at £30. All done and selling at £30...
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- Yes!- £30. That's it. Plus £2, that's all we need, kids.- Oh...
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Now, here's your scent bottle. Let's get on with this.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Here it is, the Art Deco style clear and black glass Goliath
0:36:19 > 0:36:20scent bottle. There we are.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24£100 surely somewhere. 50, then. Come along. 50 bid.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26£50's bid, £50's bid!
0:36:26 > 0:36:285, 60, 5, 70, 5,
0:36:28 > 0:36:3180, 5, 90, 5...
0:36:31 > 0:36:33- Yes, yes! - 95 bid, 100. Someone's happy!
0:36:33 > 0:36:36And 10. 120.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37130. At £130...
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- Yes!- He hasn't finished.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42At £130...
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- 140 now.- Oh, my God!- Yes!
0:36:46 > 0:36:50At £140 now. Done and selling as we are.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52At £140...
0:36:53 > 0:36:58I can't believe it. Well, that's 60.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02And that would be 40, and that would be 40. That is plus 82.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Next lot, then, is lot 66.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09The late 19th/early 20th century travelling trunk. There we are.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- £10. surely. - Oh, my God.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- along.- Ten?!- £10 bid. 15 now.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- Come on.- 20. At 20, bid 5.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19At £25 at the back... 25.
0:37:19 > 0:37:2140 now. And 5.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Seriously, I can't argue with that at 45.- I can't deal with this.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27On my right now. Going across the seas at 50. Still going.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31Last chance at 50. Done and selling at £50.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Yes! That's all right!
0:37:34 > 0:37:36That is minus £15.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40Which means it is plus 69, kids.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- It's not bad.- So what are you going to do about this old shade, then?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- Are you going to go with the shade or not?- No, thank you.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- Look at his face. - That's definitely it.- All right.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51We're not going with the bonus buy.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53We'll sell the shade anyway, just to find out
0:37:53 > 0:37:55whether Natasha was right or not. And here it comes.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Lot 70 is the rather fun
0:37:58 > 0:38:00ceiling pendant shade.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01How do you value it?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Come along. A couple of pounds, surely.- A couple of pounds?
0:38:04 > 0:38:06A couple of pounds?!
0:38:06 > 0:38:08£2 bid. 3. 5. 8, sir.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Bid 10. Come on, I'll marry you if you bid 10. £10.
0:38:12 > 0:38:1312.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- £15. 20 now in the seating. - Come on, sir.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20At £20 only. All done? 22 now.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- 22. Come back in.- £22. On the internet at 22.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28- £22, good decision, girls. - Great. Yeah.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30I don't care what Natasha has to say about it.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34You've played this very, very, very well, girls.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38- And you got £69, you don't say a word to the Blues, right?- No.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- Lips are sealed.- Look, in fact, a bit depressed when you go out.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- The smiles are giving it away!- Let's practise.- Can you do depressed?
0:38:45 > 0:38:48You can do depressed very well. That's marvellous!
0:38:48 > 0:38:50That's scarily real.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Don't burst into tears!
0:38:53 > 0:38:55440.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56£1,900.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Now, Myra, Sheila, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:39:05 > 0:39:10- No. No idea.- That's good. OK, on that happy note, then...- Yes.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12We're off! Here comes the wine bottle coaster.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Lot 86 is the rather nice 20th-century silver-plated
0:39:15 > 0:39:20square wine bottle coaster. I know this was one of Tim's favourites(!)
0:39:20 > 0:39:24How do you value it? Ought to be £10, surely. £10 bid. 12. 14.
0:39:24 > 0:39:2516.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29At £16, bid 18. At £18, bid 20.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32And 5 I have for you. Done and selling.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35£30. 32. 35, sir?
0:39:35 > 0:39:38At £32. Last chance at 32.
0:39:39 > 0:39:44£32, you've made a profit. I now have to eat my words. £32.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46£32 is plus £2. Here we go.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50The head and shoulder portrait of a young lady,
0:39:50 > 0:39:52nice-looking portrait.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53Any interest at £10?
0:39:53 > 0:39:58£10?! He's estimated 80-120.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00At £10 I have.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02On my left at £10 only.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05You're going to break someone's heart here. All done and selling
0:40:05 > 0:40:06at 10?
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Sheila! It's not only "Oh, Sheila," I can tell you.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13£10 is minus 30. Look out.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Now, the musical box.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17The next lot, ladies and gentlemen, is lot 88.
0:40:17 > 0:40:211960s novelty music box. Lot 88.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24The bids start with me at a couple of pounds, surely.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28- Two pounds!- Two pounds I'm bid. Four. Six now.
0:40:28 > 0:40:33Six pounds, bid eight. £10 I have, sir. At £10.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35You've just set the world record.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Last chance at £10.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41- Well, I give up. £10 is minus £4. - Honestly!
0:40:41 > 0:40:44- I'm so sorry...- Good job we've got a sense of humour.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48It is! You're going to need it. You're minus 34, less 2. You're minus 32.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52- And that's a stinker, isn't it? - I really am surprised at that.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54What are we doing about the bonus buy?
0:40:54 > 0:40:55Going with the egg belt boiler or not?
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- Yes, please, because we both like it.- Yeah.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02The next lot, 92, Carl Deffner. There we are.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05It's the egg warmer, how do you value it?
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Ought to be £10, come along.
0:41:06 > 0:41:07Any interest at £10?
0:41:07 > 0:41:11- £10?!- £10, surely?
0:41:11 > 0:41:1315, 20 now. 25.
0:41:13 > 0:41:1630 now. 35. 40 now.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19£50 now on the internet, at £50.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- Now we're going.- 55. 60.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23This is better.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27- 70 now.- Thank you. - Come on!
0:41:27 > 0:41:30At £75, on the internet at 75...
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Last chance at 75.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37£75, Charlie, we got to a number eventually
0:41:37 > 0:41:42but unfortunately it's a minus 20 number. You went with the bonus buy.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46You were brave. You trusted your man and I think rightly, but overall...
0:41:46 > 0:41:50- You were robbed. You were robbed. - Overall, you are minus 52.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Just don't say a word to those Reds, all right?
0:41:52 > 0:41:54We're too ashamed, we won't!
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Well, teams, this is fun, isn't it?
0:42:06 > 0:42:09- Have you been chatting and revealing the results to one another?- No.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11It's the secret! OK.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Well, I have to reveal that there is a chasm between our teams today.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18It's almost as if we had been in different auction rooms.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22And the sufferers are, I am afraid to say,
0:42:22 > 0:42:23the Blues.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29Minus £52 is the number. And I don't think we want to be dwelling on it.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- No.- Anyway, have you had a nice time?
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- Oh, absolutely.- Well, there you are. Good. We've loved having you
0:42:35 > 0:42:37on the show. Just bad luck with the results.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41Because the victors today are going to go home with £69.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Whoo!
0:42:43 > 0:42:45See what I mean? It is possible.
0:42:45 > 0:42:51Here comes the 65, and then you get these four little smackers, look.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- There we go. How good is that? - I'm thinking I... I actually feel...
0:42:54 > 0:42:58- That's a meal out for two.- It's a meal out for two.- Which restaurant?
0:42:58 > 0:43:01OK, you've got your head screwed on there, Patricia.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04It's been lovely having you on the show. Congratulations.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05You did really well.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Thank you very much, Natasha, for everything. It's been such fun.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Why don't you join us soon for some more bargain-hunting?
0:43:11 > 0:43:12- Yes?- ALL: Yes!
