0:00:03 > 0:00:05Today we're at the Newark International Antiques
0:00:05 > 0:00:09And Collectors' Fair. The largest of its type in Europe.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13So what are we waiting for, Fido? Eh?
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah! Woof.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Cor, it ain't half busy here.
0:00:45 > 0:00:52And there's 2,500 stalls for our teams to pick over their objects.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56And it's here that the Reds and Blues are going to go head-to-head,
0:00:56 > 0:01:00and hopefully find something to make a profit over at auction.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Let's have a quick sneak preview as to what's coming up.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06It's all dogs today!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12The Reds feel the pressure of the elements.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15I'm absolutely freezing! Quick, buy something!
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Whilst the Blues have a moment of realisation.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Oh, my Lord, I'm panicking! I want to buy something quick.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Panic's not setting in yet.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26But who will be top dog at auction?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Yes, that's a profit.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30SHE STIFLES A CHEER
0:01:33 > 0:01:36On the programme today, we've got two couples.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39For the Reds we've got Jo and Stephan.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42And for the Blues we've got Janet and Peter. Hello, everyone.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43ALL: Hello.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Lovely to see you. Now, Jo, how did you two lovebirds meet?
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Well, we met about eight years ago at a work's night out.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Was it caramba and you thought, crikey, did you?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55I think I accosted you, didn't I?
0:01:55 > 0:01:58There you are, that's why I asked. It was caramba.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00What about your interest in antiques?
0:02:00 > 0:02:04We really enjoy going to antiques fairs or flea-markets
0:02:04 > 0:02:05whenever we can.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Stephan, it says here you make a living out of making peoples'
0:02:08 > 0:02:09feet look better?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Well, I own a shoe brand, and I do freelance design for various
0:02:13 > 0:02:16different retailers, high-street stores.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19How do you think you two are going to get on today?
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- Brilliantly.- Do you?- Yes. - Anyway, good luck.- BOTH: Thank you.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- Now, Janet.- Hi.- You've been married for 37 years.- Indeed.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- That's quite a long haul, isn't it? - It's pretty good going.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Yeah, you married as a child? - Absolutely, yeah. Child bride, yeah.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35THEY LAUGH
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- You have a teaching background. - I do. Yes.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39This summer I'll have been teaching for 40 years.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Will you really?- Yeah.- Tell us about the narrow boat business.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Yeah. That's maybe ten years ago now. We decided to take a career break.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Mm-hmm. - Mid-life crisis, possibly.- Uh-huh.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55And we both left our careers, had a narrow boat built,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58and went to live on a boat for a couple of years,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01and just chugged around the canals of England and Wales.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03You stuck that for a couple of years. Enjoyed it...
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Enjoyed it for a couple of years. THEY LAUGH
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- You enjoyed it for a couple of years.- Certainly did.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- It just slipped out. Anyway, yeah, so you loved it for two years?- Yeah.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Why did you come back to old base camp?- Well, we...
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Money. - THEY LAUGH
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- We'd spent it by then.- How lovely. It says here, Peter,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- that you've been working for charities in recent years.- Yep.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24After we came back off the boat,
0:03:24 > 0:03:28I was looking for a job where I could give a little bit more back.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I got involved with a furniture re-use scheme.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- So it's like big charity recycling? Rather good idea, actually.- Yeah.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38How do you think you're going to get on today? Brilliantly?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- I'm quietly confident... - Are you?- Yeah.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42..we may or may not do very well.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44THEY LAUGH
0:03:44 > 0:03:47That is a good response, I have to say.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Anyway, here we go. £300 apiece. You know the rules. Your experts await.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55And off you go! Very, very, very good luck. Narrow boating, eh? Oof.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Now, let's meet our experts.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Natasha Raskin is aiming for the jackpot for the Reds.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06And hoping to fill the Blues' till with profits, it's Paul Laidlaw.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Anything on the shopping list?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Glassware I like.- Yeah, glassware. - I like dragons.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- Anything oriental.- I get it. And yourself, Janet?
0:04:18 > 0:04:23I'm more into wooden boxes and nice little neat things. We'll see.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Plenty to go at. Let's do it! Come on!- OK.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Joanna and Stephan, what are you going to spend the money on?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I really want something fancy for the home.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Something really interesting that will catch our eye.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Something for the home. Stephan? Big bucks?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Yeah, we're going to blow the budget.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Well, we've got no time to waste. So let's go, go, go!
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Absolutely right, Natasha. Your 60 minutes starts now. Off you go!
0:04:47 > 0:04:52- We are on the clock. - We are on a mission.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Like it, point it, love it, pick it up.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59I strongly suspect that an hour from now we'll go - how did that happen?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01How did we end up with those?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- What's that?- Oh, gosh, I don't have a clue.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Some sort of heat lamp, isn't it?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13If we're going to go mid-century and retro, do we want a heat lamp?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Probably not. THEY LAUGH
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- That's a dragon pipe.- OK.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19It's hideous!
0:05:19 > 0:05:22When you said a dragon, I didn't think we'd actually find one.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- Is this new?- No, it's 2005. - Well then, it's ancient, isn't it?!
0:05:26 > 0:05:28THEY LAUGH
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- MAN:- Come on, the Reds! - ALL: Come on, you Reds!- Yes, sir!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Come on, Pete. Let's go.- Right, OK.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39What about these lamps?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- These lamps here?- Yeah.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44It's actually all to do with what they are made of.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- What do you think they are made of? - Bronze?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49That's what they want you to think.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I don't think these are going to be bronze. I could be wrong.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- Should we have a feel?- Go on. - If it's really heavy...
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- Oh, my goodness! There is weight to that.- Is it marble?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01It is weighted on the bottom. They are spelter, aren't they?
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Marble base.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Gosh! The marble base is a tricky thing,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07because they are really weighty.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Oh, my goodness. But what it has is a patination over it.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14And that's called bronzed spelter. So patinated bronze spelter.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17But they are early 20th century reproduction pieces.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20But I tell you what, they are doing the trick when it comes to
0:06:20 > 0:06:22style and panache. She's nicely modelled.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25The position that she is taking is called contrapposto.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28So she's standing like a Venus or something. I like her.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- What do you think?- I do as well. It drew me to it cos it's a pair.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- And they are light fittings. - This has been cut off, right,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36so we are not good to go as light fittings.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- There is work to be done on them. - Yeah.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41But it's all about damage with these things. Condition is key.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44What I'm looking for is fingers, I think
0:06:44 > 0:06:47she's got five fingers on each hand. Her toes are good.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Have we got the same over here? - Yeah.- What are they on for?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Oh, I don't know. We can ask the gentleman.- £150.- OK.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I would hope we would have an auction
0:06:54 > 0:06:58estimate of something like £70-£100. That wouldn't be far off.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03- How would you feel about bringing it down a touch?- The very best is 125.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06But we are here to make a profit. I think at 125...
0:07:06 > 0:07:07It's a little bit stretched.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- It's a little bit of a gamble. - I really like them.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Let's have a think about it.- Let's have a think. Thank you so much.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14We might see you again.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18OK, have a think. But bear in mind, time moves on quickly.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Meanwhile, how are those Blues getting on?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Oh, my Lord, I'm panicking. I want to buy something quick.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26If you're panicking now,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28what are you going to be like at the end of the shop?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Don't panic, don't panic. It's early days, this.- OK.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Do you fancy a bit of...? - Let's go in and have a look.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43There is a dragon. There's a dragon on that Burleigh Ware jug.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Oh, yeah.- Yeah. - Is that dragon crying out to you?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- It could be. - Burleigh Ware - you associate them
0:07:49 > 0:07:54with these mid-20th-century kitsch jug-cum-vases and so on.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57They can be flamboyant, they can be ludicrous,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00they can have budgerigars and cockatiels,
0:08:00 > 0:08:02in this instance dragons, all sorts of things on them.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Are we thinking like 1950? - Yeah, absolutely.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Between the '30s and '50s, they used to do really well.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I remember about ten years ago selling these things
0:08:11 > 0:08:15for £70, £80, £90 a pop. At the moment, that's history.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- OK.- What's it worth? What's it worth?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- If I said £20-£40, I'd be right. It's priced at?- 35.- 35.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27It's not dear and that reflects what I've said. It has come down.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- We could give it a go.- What would you want?- Do you like him?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Do you like?- I think he is OK.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34'I'm with you on that one, Janet.'
0:08:34 > 0:08:36You're being polite.
0:08:36 > 0:08:43- Indeed.- I like it.- Well, it depends how kind she is to us.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45You know what's coming next, don't you?
0:08:45 > 0:08:46THEY LAUGH
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- I've been here before. - THEY LAUGH
0:08:49 > 0:08:53If I could get that for 20, I would be a happy man.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Yes.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- Thank you.- You are very welcome. - Thank you.- I wish I'd gone for 15.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00THEY LAUGH
0:09:00 > 0:09:03So, the Blues make their first purchase. Well done.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Meanwhile, the Reds are still at the same stall where
0:09:08 > 0:09:09they found the light fittings.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Could they be looking at item number two?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14They are really nice. For a toilet.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16THEY LAUGH What is that?!
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Those ladies are too feminine but a floral toilet is not too feminine?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- Washdown closet?- I have to say,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25never in my puff have I sold a toilet or a washdown closet.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Plenty of commodes.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31You do see this Victorian blue and white transfer. What do you think?
0:09:31 > 0:09:32- I quite like it. - It's a first for a fair.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34THEY LAUGH
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- I've never seen anything like that at the fair.- What are you thinking?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39What would you pay for a toilet?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- I would pay at least £100 for that. - Why would you want it?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Maybe you could plant flowers in it. - 'It's convenient.'
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Think about damage. Has it got any damage?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Has it got a big crack in it or anything?
0:09:49 > 0:09:50- It needs a good wash.- Yeah.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- I don't know. I quite like it. - Not you now as well.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Is it the wrong thing to sell at an auction?- Yeah!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- Is it more...?- Well, what's right to sell at an auction?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02How many toilets are going to be in that auction room?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Yeah.- None.- Tim can get all the toilet humour jokes in there.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Absolutely. Potty mouth. - 'I beg your pardon!'
0:10:08 > 0:10:12OK, what do you think? The time is ticking. Shall we ask the gentleman?
0:10:12 > 0:10:19- He obviously likes it. Hi.- Hello.- We are really interested in your toilet.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20HE GROANS
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- What's your best price? - 70 quid is my going home price.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- I'd keep it for 70. - And if we took the two?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28HE GROANS
0:10:28 > 0:10:29HE LAUGHS
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Oh, look at this.- 125 really is the best, really, on those.- Yeah.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34If you add those to 125...
0:10:34 > 0:10:35That could be 50.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38125 is pushing it, but you know what, they are nice.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39- And there's no damage.- Yeah.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42A toilet for 50 quid. What's the auction estimate going to be?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45It's going to be £40-£60. It's going to be £30-£50. Maybe £70-£90.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Should we do it? Oh, my goodness, I can't handle it!
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- We've still got a bit of time. - How much time have we had?
0:10:50 > 0:10:5220 minutes have passed. We are a third of the way through.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55We've still got plenty of time. Shall we come back at the...?
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- No! Let's buy it now!- Let's go with it then.- Yes, let's do it!
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Oh, my goodness, are we doing it?! - Let's do it!- Uh...yeah.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03- THEY CHEER - OK.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Excellent. Shall we shake on it?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Great. That's two items bought together.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10So two thirds of the shop completed
0:11:10 > 0:11:12in just one third of the shopping time.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15TOILET FLUSHING
0:11:18 > 0:11:21And as luck would have it, I'm paying a visit to just
0:11:21 > 0:11:25the place to lift the lid on the washdown closet.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30Look at this! We are actually inside a kiln.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34At Sharpe's Museum, Swadlincote, Derbyshire.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38And this kiln was first fired up in 1821.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Although there is evidence in this locality of
0:11:42 > 0:11:45pottery manufacture dating back to the 16th century.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56These days, the site is a museum celebrating the handful
0:11:56 > 0:11:59of potteries that were originally based within
0:11:59 > 0:12:02four square miles of Swadlincote.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Today, I'm going to meet Tony Harrell, who's going to tell us
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- all about these potteries. Now, Tony, good morning.- Hello.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Tell me about your role first here, at the museum.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I chair the Trust and my job is really to keep
0:12:15 > 0:12:18the heritage of the area alive for this generation and the next.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20And these objects in front of us
0:12:20 > 0:12:24are representative of the domestic pottery produced by the firms?
0:12:24 > 0:12:28They are, yes. There were upwards of 30-plus firms through the 1800s.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30But the clay here didn't lend itself
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- to extremely fine production, did it?- No.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36What we've learned is that the make-up of our clay has two
0:12:36 > 0:12:39important ingredients - plasticity and hardening.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Plasticity gives it flexibility
0:12:41 > 0:12:44and hardening means you can bake it at really high temperatures.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48So the potteries around Swadlincote moved into the development
0:12:48 > 0:12:52of sanitary ware and top grade sewer pipes.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56But you, in a way, specialise in the display of sanitary wares here,
0:12:56 > 0:12:57don't you?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00We try to tell our story, which is a sanitary ware story,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03and then we link it into the pipes and the public health story.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12This is a jolly display. Tony, what do these three illustrate then?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16It takes us on a journey - the evolution of the flushing toilet.
0:13:16 > 0:13:22The engineers made it a very complicated valve-operated process.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25The potters then get into the story.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28What Edmund Sharp did was to build in an innovation that he then
0:13:28 > 0:13:31patented in 1855.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34And it was a genuine advancement because it created the first
0:13:34 > 0:13:39power flush in the rim, and it created two words - wash down.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Until that time, toilets had been wash out,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44and solids would remain in the base.
0:13:44 > 0:13:50What the washdown created was an all through, leaving the pan clean.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53And for the first time they established that water was
0:13:53 > 0:13:55the problem with the disease.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59So for us to link the toilet to the sewer pipe and keep waste water
0:13:59 > 0:14:04out of public water is a real advancement in public health.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07It's a fabulous side of potting that leaves a legacy.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11This is a fascinating place to visit. So thank you very much, Tony.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Who knows, at the end of the day our teams might just be flush with cash.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22So the loo the Reds have bought might just be a hidden gem.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Meanwhile, back at the shopping, it's 2-to-1 to the Reds
0:14:25 > 0:14:27and the Blues are struggling.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- No to Toby jugs. - Definitely no to Toby jugs.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32That's absolutely for nothing.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- Owls are collectable.- No, I don't really...- No?- No, I don't.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38'Janet is proving hard to please.'
0:14:39 > 0:14:44- It's not my taste.- Move on.- It caught my eye.- What caught your eye?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Don't let something catch his eye again!
0:14:47 > 0:14:5020 minutes in, one thing down. Bang on schedule. We are cruising.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- We are doing good. - Panic is not setting in yet.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- We can't even see panic, it's so far over the horizon.- OK, off we go.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Are these for the candles? - Yeah.- Exactly, yes.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I thought it was for paper.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Look at the amazing feet on that.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I'm no furniture expert, but it is a lovely thing.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Shall we delve into that? - Is it a little desk? Can it open?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- It comes this far.- Wow! - Here we are.- It's a games table.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- It's a games table and it turns as well.- You can open it as well.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Exactly. You've got all your pieces in there.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- Could you please give us your price for this table?- £1,500.- £1,500.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- So you were attracted, like magpies, to quality.- Yes.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28'Nothing wrong with a bit of quality.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31'And there is plenty of furniture here to catch the eye.'
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Guys, guys, guys! Do you want to buy a piece of furniture?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Unless there is a problem with it,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40the X-frame chair in front of you priced at £35...
0:15:40 > 0:15:44There has got to be a problem with it. Look at the price of it!
0:15:44 > 0:15:49OK, so confirm what we are looking at. We are looking at mahogany.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51We are looking at string inlay.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Bit of marquetry, a classical...
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- Batwing Medallion there. Date wise - late 19th century.- OK.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Here are the problems.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Joints. Joints have opened here. - Yeah, yeah.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- And you've got a nasty seat pad. - That's not the original.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- No, that's awful. But I tell you what, it's easy to replace that.- OK.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Let's pick it up. Never mind the quality, feel the weight.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Oh, look, it's got the...- Repair.
0:16:15 > 0:16:21- But that's an old repair.- The plates are old.- And it's all hidden.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26From here, I just want to replace that seat pad and live with it.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- What do you think? Do you like it? - I like it.- I like it.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33If I had no-one to impress and I got out of bed on the wrong side,
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- I'd say it's worth £40-£80. - Is it?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- That's a banker, folks!- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- I'll wander off and see if I can get a price on that.- Yes.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I'll be two ticks.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47It's quite nice, isn't it? I love it, I love it, I love it!
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- So you want this chair, basically. - I want that chair.- OK.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51I think the chair might be yours.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53THEY LAUGH
0:16:53 > 0:16:54- Guys...- Right?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- I haggled like my life depended on it...- OK, and?
0:16:57 > 0:17:02The guy came down to 30 quid. I think that's a gift.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Deal!- What do you reckon? It's a deal, isn't it?- Bargain!
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Are we buying it?- Definitely!- Yeah. - I'll seal the deal. Well done.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08- Thank you.- OK, thank you.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- Item number two.- Lovely.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11THEY LAUGH
0:17:11 > 0:17:13It's item number two indeed, Janet.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Thank goodness she's happy at last. Well done.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- I think it's going good so far. - We are two down.- Two down.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- We've got about 20 minutes left, I think, so...- Hopefully. - ..it should be in the bag.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26What's the third thing? I've no idea, but we'll know soon enough.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Also, with just one more item to find, how are the Reds feeling?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34We've got £125, so we can either do what we want to do,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37which was buy something with a higher price,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40or we find something that's slightly smaller
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- and try and see if we can get a good profit.- Let's blow as much as we can.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44We've got to spend some money.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48I'm up for that. Let's do it. What have we spent?
0:17:48 > 0:17:5020 on the jug and then 30 on the chair.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52We could do this for a living at this rate.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- There is a fortune to be made in this game.- You never mind.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Sh! Don't let on.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- Do you like that? - It's got a signature.- Has it?- Yeah.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07At the bottom.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12- I like a big lump of... - Is it just a big lump of nonsense?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14It's Kosta.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Now, that's up there
0:18:15 > 0:18:20with the best in your 60s important designer glasshouses.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25Against it is the fact that it's colourless
0:18:25 > 0:18:27and it's pretty darn plain. It's an oval bowl.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30If it didn't have the name, I'd be saying, seriously,
0:18:30 > 0:18:34it's the last one of its kind I'd buy. But with the name...
0:18:34 > 0:18:37The question is, is it cheap? It would have to be cheap.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Because what's it worth? £20-£40.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Purely because of the name.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48- I absolutely love it. - You love it? Are you adopting it?
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- This was exactly what I had in mind. - How do you feel about it, Janet?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I really like it. I really like it.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Go and ask how much it is.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00It's a little bit scratched.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- I won't charge you for that. - OK. Really?
0:19:03 > 0:19:04THEY LAUGH
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Oh, that's Kosta. Um...
0:19:10 > 0:19:12We need to move it.
0:19:12 > 0:19:18- Bottom line is 40.- I'd think about it.- Not to worry then.- I like it.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- Thank you.- Thanks very much. It's just a shade too dear.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Let's walk for a while. We've got 12 minutes so we haven't got long to...
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- A quick scout?- A quick scout and we can come back.- OK.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Thanks again!- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Suddenly, both teams are feeling the pressure.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- How are your feet?- Cold.- Oh, me too! It's freezing!
0:19:39 > 0:19:41I'm absolutely freezing. Quick, buy something!
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Let's keep scratching about here. - Right.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I don't know if there is much in there for us.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48We don't have much time.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50We are struggling a bit now, aren't we?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Nothing here. This all looks run-of-the-mill.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- OK.- Should we go and look over here?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- What's it worth? £50-£80. How much is your mallet?- 175.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01BOTH: No!
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Hi!- Everything half price for Bargain Hunt, right?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Yeah, but you don't know the original price.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07THEY LAUGH
0:20:07 > 0:20:09What's in here?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- We've only got a few minutes left. - I like that.- It's 45 for that.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15£45, OK. So what do we have here?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- You were thinking about a brooch when we spoke before.- Yes.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21And what you have here is Edwardian, very early-20th-century,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24nine-carat gold aquamarine bar brooch.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27It's really beautiful, isn't it? Stylish. It's really sleek.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31You've got an oval emerald-cut aquamarine in there.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32And it's a really nice colour.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34With aquamarine, when you drop it into water,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36you shouldn't be able to see it.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39It's got its little safety pin here, which is great, for extra security.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40It is a chic thing.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Certainly against your fleece it would be beautiful.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- I think you can see it on there. - Yeah.- It is stylish.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49It's quite plain and simple, rather than fussy and ornate.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52I think it's quality. It's stamped nine carat gold.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54And in the original box.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57If we can get that for less than £40, we are absolutely cooking.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- If you made it 30... We've just got a couple of minutes.- 35. 35 is OK.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- 35. You can't go lower?- No. - Come on, jump in, help me out.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- We've got two minutes left! - The box is worth 20.- Yeah, right!
0:21:07 > 0:21:11It's a lovely thing. It is nicely presented. Can you make it 32?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Go on, then. - THEY CHEER
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Oh, my goodness!- Thank you.- What do you think?- Yeah, let's go for it.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Thank you.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20'Congratulations!
0:21:20 > 0:21:23'The Reds have raised the bar and found their very last item.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26'The Blues, however, have decided to reconsider the glass bowl.'
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Could you come down a bit more for me?
0:21:30 > 0:21:35- I do appreciate you coming back, but I can't.- What would you do for...?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37It's 40, that's the bottom line.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- You are beat, aren't you? - We are. We are beat.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- You may make a wee bit.- OK.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- Going for it?- We are going for it. - Okey-dokey.- Well done, guys.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Thank you.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I can't believe you managed to get
0:21:50 > 0:21:52the piece of glass you were looking for,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54the wood you were looking for and, bizarrely,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- the dragon.- The dragon.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57THEY LAUGH
0:21:57 > 0:22:01That's all three purchases in the bag, Blues. Well done.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Time's up.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Let's check out whether the Red Team have found a big earner.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11They were turned on by this pair of early 20th-century spelter
0:22:11 > 0:22:13table lamps for £125.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19They spent more than a penny on a late Victorian water closet.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21£50 to be precise.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26And finally, they are pinning their chances on this Edwardian
0:22:26 > 0:22:29gold bar brooch set with an aquamarine,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31which cost them £32.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33How much did you spend?
0:22:33 > 0:22:38- We spent £207 in total. - £207, that's a cool number.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Please may I have £93 of the leftover lolly.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Thank you, Stephan.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44I'm going to ask you which is your favourite piece?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46The toilet.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48THEY LAUGH
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Figures, doesn't it? - SINGSONG:- He's a man.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Which is your favourite piece?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54I'm going to actually go with the brooch, the last piece.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- That's your favourite? - Yeah, I think so.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- Well...
0:22:59 > 0:23:01It might do, yeah. Might do.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05On that happy note, I'm going to hand all this cash over to Natasha.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06- Thank you.- There you go.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Natasha, have you any idea what you are going to spend it on?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Absolutely no idea what I will spend it on,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14but I know it will be something fun. I hope so anyway.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20They poured £20 into this Burleigh Ware Art Deco jug.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27An Edwardian mahogany X-framed armchair cost them £30.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34And they were bowled over by the Swedish glass, which cost them £40.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- How are you, Peter and Janet? - Very well, thank you.- Pretty good.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40A little birdie told me that you didn't spend much.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42No, it was a little bit embarrassing.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43- How much did you spend?- £90.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49- £210 of leftover lolly. Who has got that?- I have.- Thank you very much.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Which is your favourite item of the £90 worth?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- I like the lump of glass.- Lump of glass for you. Do you agree, Janet?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Not at all. I like the chair.- You like the chair?- I do.- Jolly good.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- Without a doubt.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Do you agree with that?- Probably.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Best to agree with her about something,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06otherwise you will be back on the canal again.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Anyway, talk about a serious watch.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- You could buy most of the fair with that, mate.- Oh-ho-ho! If only!
0:24:10 > 0:24:12THEY LAUGH
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Is your idea to spend as much as you possibly can, Paul,
0:24:15 > 0:24:16or just go for value?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- I am driven by profit, Tim, as you well know.- I know.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- But I like buying interesting things.- Then take a chance!
0:24:22 > 0:24:23That's the thing, isn't it?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Now, time for me to head off to the auction.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32Well, what a treat this is.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34We've got a whole session with Charles Hanson.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- Charles, it's great to be here. - Tim, welcome.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41- Now, in this cosy corner we've got a selection which is amazing.- Yes.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Kick on with these spelter lamps. How do you rate those?
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Tim, I think they have a great look about them. I quite like them, Tim.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- I can see them probably hitting three figures. Maybe £100.- Could you?
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- 120 on a good day. - They need to make £125.- Right, OK.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Moving on, we've got the water closet next.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Now, this is a washdown water closet.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05The invention of taking water to the top rim means that any
0:25:05 > 0:25:09residual foreign bodies are immediately cleansed.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11It is a bit dirty, isn't it?
0:25:11 > 0:25:16- Dirty?- Yes.- Nobody has bothered to clean it up. That's a fact.- No.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18But if you want to go into a period bathroom,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20well, there it is, ready to go, isn't it?
0:25:20 > 0:25:25You need the right buyer. On a really good day, it could make £100-£120.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30- On a really bad day, Tim, it could make £40.- They only paid £50.- Good.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Moving on, we've got this brooch. The Edwardian bar brooch.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37It's just what it is - a very nice nine-carat gold bar brooch.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- Probably George V.- Yes, exactly.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Bunged in a box, ready to go. How much?
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- Our guide price is between £50 and £70.- Oh, that is good. £32 paid.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Well, it's lovely to know you are so enthusiastic.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50In which case, they won't need the bonus buy.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52But let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57£93 you gave Natasha.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59And what did you spend it on?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02I spent 45 on...
0:26:02 > 0:26:04a dinner gong.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08A dinner bell... Gong even. On quite an interesting stand.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11And do you know what? I enjoyed your company so much
0:26:11 > 0:26:13and I just thought you were so sociable.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15I could imagine you at dinner parties,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17having all your friends round and just saying,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19"Come on, everybody. Dinner's ready!"
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I love it. It's silver plated, it's not silver.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25And unfortunately, it's missing its little leather beater.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Which is why we've got these indentations here on the bell.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- But I just think it's really chic. I love it. It's quirky and fun.- Yep.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Dinner parties, tea parties, all that thing. It's all the rage.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- What do you think? - I think it's really good fun.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Paid 45 for it, what do you think we could get for it?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44We should be making £50-£60 for it. I hope so anyway. On a good day.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- It's actually heavier than I thought.- Exactly!
0:26:46 > 0:26:48You don't decide now, you decide later,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50after the sale of your first three items.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51But for the audience at home,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Natasha's little bell.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57BELL RINGS
0:26:57 > 0:26:58There you go, Charles.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Thank you, Tim.- That will bring them flocking into the saleroom.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Yeah.- Do you like that thing? - Yeah, I do, Tim.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Table gongs, dinner gongs always seem to perform quite well at auctions.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11I love this naturalistic cast stand it's on.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Which I suppose has all the aesthetics of being
0:27:13 > 0:27:15from the 1880s-1890s.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18The bell is quite plain in comparison, but it has got
0:27:18 > 0:27:21the right level of wear to suggest it has always been together.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Probably Birmingham or Sheffield inspired.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Our guide price is between £40 and £60.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31You've struck the right note there, Charles. £45 was paid by Natasha.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35As a cunning bonus buy opportunity. I think it is good.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40- Moving over to the Blues. We've got the Burleigh Ware jug.- Yeah, Tim.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I think it's lovely. Good factory.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Good name, which captures the Art Deco.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47I have to say, for me, it doesn't really do it.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48- Doesn't it cheer you up? - Not terribly.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- It goes with your suit as well. - Makes me feel rather ill.- Does it?
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Yeah. How much do you think it's going to bring?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- We hope it's going to make between £50 and £80.- Do you really?
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- Tim, we feel good.- Well, that's marvellous.- We are hungry for it.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01You feel a good deal better than I do.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04£20 was paid, and I think that was about the right price.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05But we'll see. Now you've got
0:28:05 > 0:28:08this X-framed Edwardian drawing room chair.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- Do you like that one?- Yeah.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Tim, I do like it, because, again, it just has that warm feel.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- That lovely urn inlay on the back. - Yes.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21It has lovely-shaped splayed back legs, but needs some reupholstering.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24What we want to know is, is it going to be an 'urn-er'?
0:28:24 > 0:28:28- Yes, it will, Tim.- 'Urn' a lot of profit.- I've got you. E-A-R-N.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30It will "urn" a lot of profit, Tim.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34I'm hoping it will do very well. Between £50 and £80. I've got you.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36- They only paid £30. - Tim, what a bargain.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38I can't believe it was that cheap.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Now, the next thing is this very, very plain bowl. Kosta Boda.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44This is one of those which ten years ago, I had never seen before.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47But now it's making money at auction.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50And it's by a contemporary Swedish designer - a man called
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Goran Warff, who obviously is the designer at the factory.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Anyway... So how much?
0:28:55 > 0:28:58We've been quite mean because...you know I'm quite an old-fashioned man.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01This is very modern and it's an emerging market.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- So we've gone in with a guide price of between £20 and £30.- Is that all?
0:29:05 > 0:29:06- Yes.- £40 paid.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09One way or the other, they're either going to need their bonus buy
0:29:09 > 0:29:11very, very badly, or they're not going to need it at all.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Let's go and have a look.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18- Janet, Peter, this is exciting.- It certainly is.- You gave our man £210.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21He loves to blow the lot. Paul, what did you find?
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Well, look, we bought from the 1960s - glass,
0:29:24 > 0:29:27back to maybe the 1860s - the chair.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31I've gone into the Georgian era with that little...
0:29:31 > 0:29:33I think that's a joy, actually. Have a look at that.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35What do you think it is?
0:29:35 > 0:29:39- It's a ladle of some kind. - Perhaps a ladle.- A ladle for toddy.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Or we could use it for punch. But you get the picture.
0:29:43 > 0:29:44I'd need a bigger ladle.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45THEY LAUGH
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Greedy!
0:29:47 > 0:29:48What's it made of?
0:29:48 > 0:29:52This is Georgian... This is baleen with, I'd love to say, silver.
0:29:52 > 0:29:57Not silver. Old Sheffield plate, bowl and mount.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59What would you pay for that?
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Well, Georgian...
0:30:02 > 0:30:03£80?
0:30:03 > 0:30:07- I'll take £80.- 40 maybe. - Your offer is 40. I'll take 40.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Because I paid 15.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- Wow!- Hey!- A proper antique.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- For £15?!- 15. That's the value that's to be had.- OK.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- It's a no-brainer, this. - It's a no-brainer.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20OK, but for the audience at home,
0:30:20 > 0:30:23let's find out if the auctioneer finds it a no-brainer.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Now, Charles, at last, an old-fashioned antique.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31Tim, I love it, because it is, I suppose, 1780-1790.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35Could be as late as 1810. But you're going back to George III, Nelson.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Just tell us about the handle. Cos that's whalebone, isn't it?
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Yes, it is, Tim, whalebone. And obviously...
0:30:41 > 0:30:44I think the early ones had more of a turned fruit wood handle.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48I have to tell you, Laidlaw found all that for £15.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- To buy that for £15 is remarkable.- At auction, what's it likely to bring?
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Back on a wholesale market, Tim,
0:30:54 > 0:30:58we're quite confident we'll steer it to perhaps between £30 and £50.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59That's why Laidlaw's clever.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01But on the other hand, the team may not go with it.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04And that's the great excitement. We'll find out in a minute.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Thank you very much, Charles.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10£40. Fair warning. 40. Yes, we are.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12All out...
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- How are you feeling?- Excited.- Very good.- Are you? Are you confident?
0:31:15 > 0:31:20- Yes.- Yes.- Is there anything you wish you hadn't bought?
0:31:20 > 0:31:21THEY LAUGH
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Um...
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Well, I'm going to be open-minded about the toilet.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29- Are you?- Yes.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33OK, well, curiously enough, on your programme today,
0:31:33 > 0:31:38we went to a museum down the road in South Derbyshire
0:31:38 > 0:31:42and we looked at a whole collection of washdown lavatories.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- Really?! - Made by a factory called Sharpe's.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50So our audience today are well aware of the technological
0:31:50 > 0:31:53advances in lavatory design displayed in your lavatory.
0:31:53 > 0:31:58Because it's a classic 1880s transfer-printed washdown lavatory.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- OK.- With the siphonic action that gives it a swirl.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05- So all the residual deposits are properly removed.- Oh, my goodness!
0:32:05 > 0:32:08My thoughts precisely when I saw the toilet.
0:32:08 > 0:32:09THEY LAUGH
0:32:09 > 0:32:11When you look at your lavatory though, I have to
0:32:11 > 0:32:14say that there are a few residual deposits that have not been removed.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16- That's authenticity.- Exactly.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18- It's called patination.- Yes.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Anyway, the first item today is going to be the spelter lamps.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25He absolutely loves those. He thinks they're going to make £100-£120.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29You paid 125. So you're on the cusp of making some money out of that.
0:32:29 > 0:32:34And then, the bar brooch with the aquamarine. 50-70 on that.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36And you paid 32.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- OK.- Anyway, first up though are your pair of lamps.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41And here they come.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44A really attractive pair of early-20th-century spelter bronzed
0:32:44 > 0:32:47figural table lamps in the classical manner.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49There they are and I'm only bid for these, straight in
0:32:49 > 0:32:56I've got interest at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70. They are a wonderful pair. 70.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01I'll take five. Five. 80. 85. I've got 95.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02SHE GASPS
0:33:02 > 0:33:05I'm out. 95 on my left. Bid me 100 now.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07A bit more, a bit more.
0:33:07 > 0:33:1195 I'm bid. Bid me 100 now. Fair warning. All done.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14You're out online at £95.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15Sold.
0:33:15 > 0:33:1795 he said, didn't he?
0:33:17 > 0:33:20So it's minus £30. OK.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- Now, here comes the WC. - We've got to claw it back.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Come on, toilet!
0:33:25 > 0:33:29Late Victorian water closet. A lovely object. Circa 1880.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Where do we start this? It's a wonderful object.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35I'm only bid here, straight in I'm bid, well...
0:33:35 > 0:33:36nothing.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38THEY GROAN
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Start me off. It's got to go. Do I see £20?
0:33:40 > 0:33:46Start me off. 20, I'm out. Straight in. Five. 30. Five. 40.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- Five. One more, madam. Look at me.- Go on.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- 45. 50. Five.- Yes!
0:33:51 > 0:33:5650 I'm bid. Five. Lots of hands going up. Five. 60. Five. 70.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57- Come on!- 80.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59We made 80. We're back.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- 85. 90? Are you sure? - THEY LAUGH
0:34:02 > 0:34:03I'm sure.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07You're sure. Thank you very much. £85. I'm asking 90.
0:34:07 > 0:34:0990. Five. 100.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11100!
0:34:11 > 0:34:14110. 120. Online, you're out.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16I'm asking 130.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Miss Hornblower, 130.
0:34:18 > 0:34:19She's come back!
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- 130.- She knows her way around the lavatories
0:34:21 > 0:34:23of Britain, Miss Hornblower does.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24150?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Yes! 160. 170?
0:34:26 > 0:34:33Thank you very much. I'm asking 170 or I sell to John's client.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Fair warning for the first time at £160 today.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38Fair warning.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- Yes! - THEY CHEER
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Well, how remarkable is that?! Is that not remarkable?
0:34:43 > 0:34:46160. You are plus £110.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50You were minus 30, which means you are plus 80.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- I can't believe it!- £80 in profit. - We've got the brooch.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56An Edwardian nine-carat gold oval bar brooch.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00With a lovely central, oval-cut aquamarine stone.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02I've got £22. 25.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05I'm asking now 28. £25.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- Bid me eight. £25.- Come on!
0:35:07 > 0:35:10It's nine carat gold. Eight. 32. I'm out.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14£32. Five. Eight. 40.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Let's go. 42. Five.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19- One more.- He's like a conductor.
0:35:19 > 0:35:2145. 48. 50.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26One more. No. 48 I'm bid. Do I see 50 now?
0:35:26 > 0:35:29At £48. Fair warning. Sold.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33That is plus £16. Which means you are plus £96 over all.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- What about that?- Oh, wow! - Something else, isn't it?
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- We're on a roll.- You're on a roll. - We've got to go for the bonus buy.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- You're going with the gong then? - Absolutely.- Yeah!- Are you?
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Absolutely. I trust Natasha, yeah.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- I mean, you trusted her throughout. - Are you sure?
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Anyway, you're going with the bonus buy. And here it comes.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52It's a wonderful object. It is a dinner gong.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55The body in the form of tree branches supporting a very
0:35:55 > 0:35:58large bell. And I'm only bid here £25.
0:35:58 > 0:36:04That's my commission bid. I'm asking 30 for it now. 35. 40. 45. 50.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07I'm out. £50 I'm bid. I'm asking five now. What a wonderful object.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08£50 I'm bid.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12I'm asking five now. 50. I'll take five. Who would like it?
0:36:12 > 0:36:16Bid me a fiver or I sell to the man with the dog at £50.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Fair warning. All out. We are.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21£50. Very good. Plus £5.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Which takes you neatly to £101 of profit.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28- Very good.- It's amazing! - Cheers, Natasha.- I'm so pleased!
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- I'm thrilled for you. - I'm still in shock.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33The thing is, don't say a word to the Blues. Look a bit gloomy.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Plus £101 is a serious amount of profit. So congratulations on that.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- Thank you. - All will be revealed in a moment.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- You've been talking to the Reds? - Not at all.- No.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Well, we don't want you to. Let's just run through your items.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Now, Peter, the Burleigh Ware Art Deco jug.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00- I've been very rude about that.- But you're dressed to match it.- I know.
0:37:00 > 0:37:01THEY LAUGH
0:37:01 > 0:37:03- It's true.- I thought you would've enjoyed it.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Anyway, I've been pretty sniffy about it.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Cos I don't really like those things personally.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10But Charles does. He's put £50-£80 on.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12I mean, I think that's an unbelievable amount of money
0:37:12 > 0:37:15for a bit of Burleigh Ware that's sparsely decorated.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19Anyway, first up is going to be the Burleigh Ware jug.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Bright yellow, like me. Off we go.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Goodness me, what a wonderful object.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26This is a Burgess and Lee Burleigh Ware Art Deco jug.
0:37:26 > 0:37:33And I am bid here, straight in at 18, 20 and two and five. Not a lot.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37Bid me 28 now. 28. 32.
0:37:37 > 0:37:44I'm out. £32. Miss Hornblower. Lots of hands. Five. Eight. 40.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Five. 50.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear!
0:37:47 > 0:37:5250 I'm bid. Five. 60. Miss Hornblower?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Fair warning. You're out online as well. Bid me 60.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01Make no mistake. At 50. £55.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Well done, Pete. £55 is plus 35.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Thank you.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Look at that. Now, here comes the chair.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Just have a sniff at this wonderful X-framed armchair.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16It's Edwardian. It's lovely. And I'm only bid, can you believe it, £25.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20That's my bid. £25. 30. I'm out.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22It's a gorgeous chair. 30 I'm bid
0:38:22 > 0:38:25for the Edwardian... Five. 40. Five.
0:38:25 > 0:38:2850. Five. 60. Five.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Miss Hornblower again.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- 80. Five.- She's an amazing buyer, Miss Hornblower.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Miss Hornblower? £85 I'm bid.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38I'm looking for 90. What more do I see?
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Fair warning. All done at £85.
0:38:41 > 0:38:46OK, plus £55 on that. Which means you guys are plus £90.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48And we've got a lot to go.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52That oval glass bowl. You paid 40. He's only put 20-30 on it.
0:38:52 > 0:38:57- Oh.- I think he's wrong. I think it's worth more like £60-£90 or £70-£100.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58Wow. Oh, wow.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02This is a lovely Swedish Kosta Boda oval glass bowl,
0:39:02 > 0:39:05by a very good designer called Goran Warff.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07There it is. And I'm bid only £28.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09What?!
0:39:09 > 0:39:14£28 I'm bid. I'm looking for 30. 32. Five. Eight. 40. Two...
0:39:14 > 0:39:17- Here we go.- Five. 48.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Out. 45, your bid, John. Holding bid. Do I see 48 now?
0:39:21 > 0:39:2445 I'm bid with your bid, John. I'm asking eight now.
0:39:24 > 0:39:2845 I'm bid. I'm asking eight. Fair warning. All done.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30I sell to your absentee buy, John.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Yes! That's a profit. Plus £5.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37- Well done. A result there.- Yeah.
0:39:37 > 0:39:42Kisses all round, eh? Profit on each item. Plus £95 is your total.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45We're disappointed about that Kosta Boda.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- That should have cost-a a lot more. - THEY CHUCKLE
0:39:48 > 0:39:51But nevertheless, it's a profit. And that's all that matters.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53What are we going to do about the toddy ladle?
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- That's a no-brainer. - We're going for it.- Definitely.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00A wonderful whalebone twist-handled toddy ladle,
0:40:00 > 0:40:02from probably circa 1780.
0:40:02 > 0:40:08I've got a couple of bids here. I've got 12, 15, 18.
0:40:08 > 0:40:1120 is my commission bid.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Bid me two. Two. Five. Eight.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16I've got 32. I'm out.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Bid me five now. £30 I'm bid. I'm asking five now.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- Five. 38. - It's going! It keeps going.
0:40:23 > 0:40:2540. Two.
0:40:26 > 0:40:3045. You can't leave it, Mel. But thank you ever so much.
0:40:30 > 0:40:36All out. Sold to a lady in the centre at £42. All done and gone.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41- Good one.- 45. That's plus £27, kids.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44That's £122 of profit.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46The 1-2-2 squadron.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51How about that?! 1-2-2 squadron ought to be a winning score. OK?
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Don't say a word to the Reds, and all will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Why is it that both teams can be looking
0:41:05 > 0:41:07so incredibly pleased with themselves?
0:41:07 > 0:41:11- Oh, no!- Do you suppose it's because both teams think that they've won?
0:41:11 > 0:41:12THEY GROAN
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Unfortunately on this programme we can only have one
0:41:15 > 0:41:19team of winners and one team not of losers, but of runners up.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23And it is great today to be able to say that each of our teams
0:41:23 > 0:41:26have made a profit of more than £100.
0:41:26 > 0:41:27Oh, no!
0:41:27 > 0:41:29THEY LAUGH
0:41:29 > 0:41:34Each of the teams have made a profit of more than £100.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36This doesn't happen very often.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40The bad luck team who are marginally behind today...
0:41:41 > 0:41:43..are...
0:41:43 > 0:41:46- the Reds.- Oh, my goodness! I can't believe it!
0:41:46 > 0:41:48LAUGHTER
0:41:48 > 0:41:51But the Reds go home with £101.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53- THEY CHEER - Yes!
0:41:53 > 0:41:54My goodness!
0:41:54 > 0:41:56- Here's your £100, Jo. - Thank you very much.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- And here comes the £1, Jo. - Yes, thank you very much.
0:41:59 > 0:42:05It was the lavatory, Steph, that made £110 of profit.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07- It did! - Which transformed your chances.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11- Did it not?- It did indeed. - And you made only one loss.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13That was on those spelter lamps.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16So you slightly scotched your chances with those.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18But it was a magnificent effort.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21And you were a great team. But not quite good enough today,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24because the Blues are going home with £122.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- THEY CHEER - There we go. 120.
0:42:27 > 0:42:32And here is your £2. You made £35 on that hideous yellow pot.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33THEY LAUGH
0:42:33 > 0:42:36You made £55, as predicted, on that beautiful chair.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39And then the glass bowl made a disappointing amount,
0:42:39 > 0:42:41but it's still a profit.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Which means that you are eligible, as you have made a profit on each
0:42:44 > 0:42:49item, to enter the ancient and noble order of the golden gavel.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Oh, yes! APPLAUSE
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Now replaced by a pin made in Taiwan.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56THEY LAUGH
0:42:56 > 0:43:00Anyway, there we go. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:43:00 > 0:43:01ALL: Yes!
