Today we've travelled to the Far East | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
to the land of potential prosperity where the language is cold hard cash | 0:00:08 | 0:00:15 | |
and the potential... | 0:00:15 | 0:00:16 | |
Well, what we'd like is a large portion of profit. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:21 | |
We're in Peterborough. Let's go bargain hunting, yeah! | 0:00:21 | 0:00:25 | |
Twice a year, the East of England Showground hosts | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
its very own festival of antiques and with 2,000 stalls | 0:00:55 | 0:01:00 | |
and only 60 minutes to get around, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
our teams today are seriously going to have to pull themselves together. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
So, let's have a sneaky preview as to what's coming up. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
There's a dilemma for the Reds. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
It's a very risky one, isn't it? | 0:01:15 | 0:01:16 | |
-Oh, it's so risky it's unbelievable. -It's a risk. -Yeah. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
-Which makes it exciting. -I like the risk, though. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
-Five, 40... -And the Blues get excited at the saleroom. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
Thank you, sir. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
Let's all get acquainted, shall we? | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
So, we have a combo of couples from heaven today on our programme. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
For the Reds, we've got Abby and Callum | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
and for the Blues, we've got Emily and Ash. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
-Hello, everyone. -ALL: Hello! | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
Lovely to see you. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:45 | |
Now, Abby, there was a fair amount of horsing around | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
when you two first met, right? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
Me and Callum, around about two and a half years ago, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
we and some of our mutual friends went camping in Dartmoor | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
and we got chased down by a pony. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
-Did you? -We did, indeed. A quite angry Dartmoor pony. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
Callum had to push me out of the way and then the rest is history. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
It's so nice to have a beefy, brawny man about, right, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
to protect you in these circumstances. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
-Um, you could say that. -Yeah. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
But you've got a bit of a thick skin thanks to your job, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
though, haven't you? | 0:02:12 | 0:02:13 | |
Well, I work as a complaint handler for a major bank, | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
-so it's obviously quite a busy and stressful job, but... -Poor you! | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
It's not quite as bad as it sounds. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
Like, basically, something goes wrong, someone shouts at me. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
I tried to sort it out to the best I can and then we go to the pub | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
and have a team drink. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
So, it's not too bad. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
Some people on the telephone, I guess, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
can be really rude, can't they? | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
-Very rude. -Yeah. -Yeah, you wouldn't believe it. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
-It's a difficult job to do. -It is difficult. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
But quite satisfying when it all goes right | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
and you've sorted a problem out. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
It is certainly a good feeling and then so is the team trip | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
-to the pub afterwards. So, yes. -Exactly right. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
So, Callum, are you planning to win big today and if you do, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
-what are you going to do with that? -Well, I hope so. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
Well, we'd like to put it towards our big travelling trip | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
-that we're starting in July. -Right. Where are you going? | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
We're basically trying to go to Australia without flying. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
-So, everywhere in between. -That's a great ambition, isn't it? | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
-That's the plan. -And how many years are you planning to be away? | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
-Until we run out of money. -Oh, I see! | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
Well, if you're hoping to save the cash out of your earnings today, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
you've got to have some sort of strategy today. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
And what's your strategy? | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
-Use our charm. Just to be very nice and try and be cheeky. -Really? | 0:03:12 | 0:03:17 | |
-Youthful charm and cheek, eh? -Yeah. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
-Could be a combo. -We'll have to see. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
Well, anyway, good luck with it. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
So, Emily, when you first met Ash, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
it was a bit of pipe dream, wasn't it? | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
-Yeah, I was an apprentice plumber and Ash was my tutor. -Right. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:34 | |
He played a couple of tricks on me to start off with. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
I was undoing a downpipe and then I got drenched with stagnant water. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:43 | |
Oh, friendly! | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
And what was your first vision of Ash when you first encountered him? | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
I first met him when he was bending over a washing machine. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
So, essentially, I just saw his bum first. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
Did you? Anyway, things went along perfectly nicely | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
cos you're now in business together. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
-Yeah, we're based in Leicestershire. -Is that successful? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
Yes, we've been doing quite well. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
We've only been running just since last July, | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
but, yeah, it's picked up really quickly, actually. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
So, if Emily is the brains in the business, | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
then I guess you're going to be the brawn, is that right, Ash? | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
-Oh, I don't know. -It says here that you are a fitness fanatic. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
I do like my martial arts. I do a lot of jiujutsu. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
-That's too fingers death at 100 yards, isn't it? -No, not quite. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
-Not quite. -Not quite. Too many films. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
Now, listen, you've got a passion for all things historical. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
Tell us about that. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
It started when I was at primary school | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
and from there, really, I've just loved history. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
-War of the Roses and medieval times. -Have you got a strategy today? | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
What are you going to buy? | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
-I collect Whitefriars stuff. -Oh, do you? -Yeah. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
It'd be great to find something like that. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
And for you, Ash, what are you going to go for? | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
-Sports memorabilia. -Right. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
Well, all very interesting. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:49 | |
Anyway, the money moment is the £300 moment. Here you go. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go! | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
And very, very, very good luck. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
I'm always looking out for a good plumber. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
And of course our two experts are ready to lend a hand today. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
David Harper is 'wheelie' up for helping out Reds. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
And Kate Bliss is hoping to drum up a profit for the Blues. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
Hey, you two! How are you doing? You ready to rock 'n roll? | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
-We are. -Yes. -Yeah? | 0:05:21 | 0:05:22 | |
-What are we looking for? -Something musical. -Oh! OK and...? | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
I'm thinking maybe something exotic. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
Wha...hey, baby, exotic! | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
-Who's good at doing the better deal? -Oh... | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
-Well, most of the time it's me. -Yeah. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:33 | |
-Should we go and find a bit of exotic? -Yeah! -Let's go get exotic. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
Come on then. 60 minutes of exotic hunting. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
Well, those trousers are certainly exotic, David. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
Are we already for a bit of a hoot? | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
-OWL HOOTS -Start the clock. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
-I have spotted something exotic. -OK. -OK. -Have you not... Come on! | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
Your exotic hunters. Point it out to me. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
-Are we going for this item here? -Do you like it? | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
I certainly do, actually. Yeah, but what is it? | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:06:11 | 0:06:12 | |
-It's a tray. -It's a tray. OK, then. And how old is it? | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
Oh, I would say it's from the Raj period, probably 1900, 1910, 1920. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:22 | |
And you would have had your G and Ts served of an evening | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
on this tray. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:26 | |
-I certainly like G and Ts. -You do? You like G and Ts? | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
Well, there's your perfect tray. All made out of one slab of hard wood. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
-All hand-carved, that is exotic, is it not? -That is certainly exotic. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
-I think it's what we are looking for. -Yeah, I think so. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
Well, let's get a price. Let's ask this gentleman. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
-What have we got on this? -I can do 25. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
25... OK. Have a feel of that. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
-Give it a rub. -Yeah. -It's not perfectly smooth. -It isn't. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
Now, that's a good sign, isn't it? | 0:06:51 | 0:06:52 | |
Because if it was perfectly smooth, | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
-it would have been made by a machine. -Ah, I see. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
You can just feel the winky wonkiness of that. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
That is hand-cut, hand-sanded, hand-carved. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
That has never seen machinery. It's only seen a man with a chisel. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
I think in auction, it's probably £10 to £20 less than this, isn't it? | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
-I'd have thought. -I like it. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
-Yeah. Should we take it? -Well, hang on. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:15 | |
-We need to think about the price. -But no, no, hang on one second. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
They are rubbish at this. They really are really bad. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
-I was going to...I was going to bargain. -Go on, then. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
I was going to say, "We'll take it now for 15." | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
-I'll do 20. Meet you in the middle. -Um... -It's a good colour. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
-Where were you going with that? -17. -I'll do 18. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
-Oh! He's a hard man, this one. Are we going to go 18? -Yeah. -OK, 18. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
-Make your first purchase. -Deal. -Well done. Well done. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
-Thank you very much. -Thanks for that. Really good of you. Cheers. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
Right. Well done, you. Very quick as well. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
Only within a few minutes. Fantastic. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
Tres bon, Reds, tres bon. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
And the Blues aren't messing about either. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
Oh, this one? So, Emily, you like Whitefriars Glass, don't you? | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
Yeah, I love it. I've not got anything like that. But then... | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
I like the colour. The colour's awesome. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
Well, I like that one because it is more of an unusual shape | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
and of course its shape and size affect the price as well as colour. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
-Oh, the colour's willow... -It's willow. -..the gentleman says. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
Thank you for that. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:12 | |
The pattern is a pyramid pattern. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
-And I see you've got 160 on the bottom there. -110 is absolute. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:19 | |
-110? OK. -Which is cheap for that shape. -Sure. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
We've got to put it into auction, so we're looking for a... | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
really rock-bottom price. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
-Yeah. -You couldn't do a flat hundred for us? | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
I'll do it for 100 quid. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
What do you think? | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |
-I think that was very nice of you. -I think... | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
I think it will give you a chance. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
I think it's got... I mean, I probably estimate it | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
at sort of 70 to 100, | 0:08:42 | 0:08:43 | |
but the pyramid might well draw a collector, | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
who hasn't got the shape. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
Now, I know this is your thing, Emily, | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
but, Ash, what do you reckon to this? | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
I'm unsure. I think it's 60 to 80 at auction. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
-That's your gut feeling. -That's my gut feeling. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
What do you think, guys? It's our first thing | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
we've looked at properly. Do you want to take the plunge? | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
Eh... I mean, you know more about it than I do. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
I really do like Whitefriars. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
-Let's do it. -Do you want to do it or do you want to have a little think? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:14 | |
-We'll do it. -The lady gets the choice. -Yeah. I won't... | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
I won't say anything else now. You can pick the others. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
-THEY LAUGH -All right. I think you got yourself a deal. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:24 | |
-Give a shake. -Thank you very much. -Thank you very much. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:28 | |
Only a few minutes down and both teams have one apiece. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
So, from Whitefriars to some White Stripes. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
That's a popular rock band, don't you know? | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
See if I can get a sound. Um... | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
HE PLAYS "Seven Nation Army" | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
There you go. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
It's a guitar with three strings. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
With musical instruments, that might tell me | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
it was used by some wild, funky musician. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
I mean, this might be a serious bit of kit. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
What's it worth because you are the guitar man? | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
Cos I genuinely don't know very much about electric guitars. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
Yeah. I'd probably say it's about a tenner, but there is... | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
Are you saying that we are not going to with the electric...? | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
-I think we'll leave it, but, you know... -It was good to find. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
-Well, well done. Well done. -And I found it! -A life lesson. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
I've learned something. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:14 | |
Every day's a school day on Bargain Hunt, David. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
Aye, aye. Ash has clocked something. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
-That clock. -You like the clock? -Yeah. -Well, it's £65. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
-It's very Victorian. -It's slate. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
Exactly it's made of slate, so it's incredibly heavy. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
It's a brilliant example of Victoriana. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
They liked very dark things | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
and, of course, it was the age of mourning when Prince Albert died. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
-Yeah. -Very elaborate. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:42 | |
Completely out of fashion at the moment, unfortunately, | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
hence the cheap price cos it's a lovely-looking clock. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
Got a few chips on it as well as the bottom. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
But just at auction that's not going to sell very well, unfortunately. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
-It's fashion. -Yeah. -Yeah. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |
Speaking of fashion, where on earth did you buy those trousers, David? | 0:10:55 | 0:11:00 | |
Ho-oh! I just know what you two are going for. I know it! | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
It's the blinking...monster in the middle, isn't it? | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
It is the monster in the middle, yeah. Oh, yeah. Look at that. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
-It's crazy. -Oh, my gosh, that is...exotic. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
Tell me why you love it. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
Um, just cos it's interesting. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
I mean, like, it jumped out at me from the road. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
OK, so, it's a totem pole of some sort, isn't it? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
Well, let's have a look in. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:22 | |
Can I just lean over and let's see if we can... | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
Wow! Whoa! Blimey! He really is heavy. What's he like on the back? | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
Oh, OK. He's got a big old metal bar at the back there | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
to keep him together. Have a look at the screw heads. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
Now, screw heads can tell you an awful lot. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
-So we've got a Phillips screw there, haven't we? -Yeah. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
-Phillips comes in well into the 20th century. -Yeah. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
-I think it's 1950s or '60s. -Right. -Film proppy. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
-Maybe an American diner or something like that. -Yeah, yeah. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
-Yeah, I can see that. -Yeah. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:47 | |
We could market it strong for wild, wacky. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:51 | |
-I really like it. -Display pieces, yeah. -I'd have it in my bedroom. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
-I'd certainly have it in my bedroom, yeah. -Yeah. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
-This thing could make any amount of money. -Depends on... | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
-He's saying it's priceless. -Yeah... -Well, it's funny. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
I wouldn't describe him as priceless, actually. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
I think he has a price. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
-Shall I go find out what that is? -Yeah, let's find out. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
You keep chatting. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:11 | |
The asking price is £220, | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
but the store holder is a bit camera shy, | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
so let's leave David to work his magic. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
I've got a price. I've got the death price. There's no more negotiating. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
-He is 180. And that's it. -180. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
180. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:27 | |
So, you could blow 100 in a nanosecond | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
or you might be mega-lucky and he might creep up to 300-ish. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
That would be my guess. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
-Up to 300? -Well, on a very good day, I think he could. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
-It's a very risky one, isn't it? -Oh, it's so risky it's unbelievable... | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
-It's a risk. -..but it makes it exciting. -I like a risk, though. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
-Yeah. -I like a bit of excitement, so I think we should go for risk. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
-Yeah, why not. Let's do it. -You are brilliant. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
You really are brilliant and that is exotic. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
When we saw it, we'll say we had to have it, so... | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
You know, we can't exactly say we're going to buy exotic things | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
and not buy something like this. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
-OK, you keep on chatting, I'll go and do the deal. -Thank you. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
Perfect. I love it! SHE GIGGLES | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
But how well will the totem pole do under the gavel? | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
Remember, it's a dog-eat-dog world at the auction. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
Ah, loads of dogs here, Ash. Let's have a look. Which one? | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
Ooh, that looks good. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:18 | |
Oh, there he is. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
-So, that's got the Doulton mark on it. -Yep. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
-How much is it? -It's 120. -120. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
I think that is going to be quite expensive to put it into auction. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
-So, I don't think we'll get any profit from it. -No. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
Emily's not very keen. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:37 | |
Why don't we put him back and have another look for something doggie? | 0:13:37 | 0:13:41 | |
-OK. -Yeah? -Yeah. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:42 | |
Good idea. Go see another man about a dog, Kate. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
So, how do you fancy your chances against the opposition today, David? | 0:13:52 | 0:13:57 | |
No idea how the other team is getting on, but you know what? | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
I don't care because my team are absolutely sent from heaven. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
What do they want? They want something exotic. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
Immediately, within a few feet, they buy something exotic. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
We walk across the fair, hardly any browsing at all, | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
something else exotic. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
Now, all we need is a musical instrument and we've nailed it. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
Positive vibes from the Red camp. We're halfway through. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
Are the Blues as confident? | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
So, Emily and Ash, time wise we are about halfway through. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
We've got one really good, solid purchase | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
and I think we really need to step up our game. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
-Yeah. -Let's motor. -Let's go! | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
Full speed ahead, then, Blues. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
But could the Reds be nearing the finishing line already? | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
Only that musical instrument to find now, Callum. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
-Ooh, what's this? -This is a sitar. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
Oh, gosh. I'll tell you what, I don't know anything about sitars, | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
but I love that as an object. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:55 | |
It's very pretty, isn't it? They sound amazing when you play them. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
Let's have a look at it. Pick it up and let's see what you look like with it. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
-Cos I reckon you might suit a sitar. -I think it'd suit him. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
It's a little bit weird, a little bit crazy. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:05 | |
-It's definitely a bit Callum. -Well, I wasn't going to say that. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
It's very out of tune and it would take a long time to tune. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
Do we have all the strings? | 0:15:11 | 0:15:12 | |
Um, the short answer is no cos there should be more out here, | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
so we are missing a lot of strings. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:16 | |
Now then I don't know the history of the sitar, | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
but its origins, I believe, are purely Indian, aren't they? | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they are. Classical Indian music. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
Let's look at this as a piece, then. The base here, that's a natural nut. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
-Yeah. -Then we've got the fretboard. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:29 | |
It's probably in tee, but what I love about this is the decoration. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
I mean, look at that. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:34 | |
We've got marquetry inlaid with bone, | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
ebony and then coloured, stained wood in red. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
It's absolutely gorgeous and it's very contemporary looking. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
In the right environment, it would just look a fantastic piece. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
Date wise... That's very difficult, isn't it? | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
Cos they've been making these things for hundreds of years. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
I think this is probably well into the 20th century. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
Might be a '60s thing. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:56 | |
It may be, you know, dating from that kind of Beatles era, | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
-but it's been used, hasn't it? -Yeah, absolutely. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
Certainly been used. Certainly been played lots. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
Should we get a price for it? | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
The ticket price is £90. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:06 | |
A sporting chance for you would be 45 is the best. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
45 quid. Abby, what do you think? | 0:16:11 | 0:16:12 | |
I like it as I said. It meets all of our criteria of exotic and musical... | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
-Yeah, yeah, I think so. -So I think it's a bit of a steal, really. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
-So I think we should. -Yeah, yeah, I'll definitely take that. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
It's definitely better than that guitar we saw earlier. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
So, is this our third and final object? | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
-I think it's our third and final object. -I think so, yeah. -OK, guys. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
-We'll go for this. -Decision's made. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:30 | |
-Well done. We've cracked it. -Thank you very much. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
You came, you saw and you conquered, Reds. Well done! | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
Meanwhile, Kate's playing it straight with the Blues. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
That clock is still ticking. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
Well, we've got ten minutes left | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
and actually I think they're really feeling at sea. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
They're really struggling. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:54 | |
So, I'm going to step in, try and give them a little bit of help, | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
pick out some items for them, | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
which is either going to go brilliantly | 0:16:59 | 0:17:00 | |
and they're going to love me | 0:17:00 | 0:17:01 | |
or I'm going to come out with egg all over my face. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
Drastic measures now, Kate. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
I think they're going to need your help and fast. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
Five minutes left, Blues. What's the score, Kate? | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
So, guys, this is how it is. We're tight for time. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
I found you two objects. Let's look at the teeny, teeny one first. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
I'm just going to put that down. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
This is a dog for you, Ash. It's tiny, weeny. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
It's actually a little gold charm. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
And it is in the form of an Alsatian dog, OK? | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
-Now, I know you love animals, don't you? -Yeah. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
Its price is determined really on the weight of the gold, | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
-I have to tell you. -OK. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:49 | |
It's nicely cast. She's come down to about 38 on that. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
And that's probably going to give you a very, very small profit | 0:17:54 | 0:17:59 | |
at auction if you're lucky. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
-So, what do you think of it? -I love it. I like German shepherds. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
They're my favourite dogs, so I would buy that myself. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
-If you wore charms. -If I wore charms. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
It's all quite clearly hallmarked for nine carats. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
-What do you think, Emily? -Well, you know, it's a nice little piece. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
We are running out of time, so I'd say, "Go for it." | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
Well, hold that thought because the second item... | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
You hold on to that, Emily. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
The second item is this, which is... | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
if you like, a bit of an old-fashioned item. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
It's an inkwell. What do you think of that? | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
-It looks quite big for an inkwell. -Hm. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
This is actually cut into the glass | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
in what's known as an intaglio method. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
So, you can see this lovely leafage around here. This little frieze. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:45 | |
It's cut in to give it almost three-dimensional effects, | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
which is quite nice in the heavy cut glass. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
It's got its well in here. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
This is where you put the ink and the top is silver. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
So, you've got a silver mounted top. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
It is a traditional antique. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:00 | |
It's probably George V in date | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
and she's come right down for us to £70 on that. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:07 | |
So, a bit of silver, a bit of heavy glass. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
I think, she's been ever so good, | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
if we offered a flat 100 for the two, it would be fantastic, | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
but having done a bit of legwork for you, I'm going to leave that to you. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
-OK. -Got on, then, you're the negotiator. -Would you negotiate? | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
-Yeah. Shall I do it? Then I'll do it. -Go on, then, Ash. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
-Get in the fight. -Do your bargaining. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
So, is he any good at haggling, Emily? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
-Better than me. -He's better than you? | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
-Hello there. -We like the items. -Good. -Could you do them for £100? | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
-Does that tell me anything? -No. To be fair, I am rubbish. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:41 | |
-If I felt... -Please. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
I know it's a very nice 'please', but I'm really sorry. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
I'm going to have to stick to where we are with that, | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
which I think is 108 from memory, isn't it? | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
-38 and 70. -Could you do it for 105? | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
No, sir. I'm going to be really awkward for you | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
and I don't mean to be nasty, but it's going to be 108. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
OK, we'll go for it. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:00 | |
-TIM: -'Oh, Ash, you best stick to plumbing.' | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
What's the verdict, Ash? | 0:20:04 | 0:20:05 | |
Um... £108, I'm afraid, guys. I tried my best. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
-Well, that didn't work, did it? Sack him. -Shall I have a go? | 0:20:08 | 0:20:13 | |
-So, do you have a deal? -£108, it's a deal. -OK. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
-Three items! -Yeah! -We got there. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
Well done, Kate. You saved the day. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
This pussy is definitely stuffed rather like our teams cos time's up. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:31 | |
Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh? | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
Meow! | 0:20:33 | 0:20:34 | |
Their first buy was the twin-handled drinks tray. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
They carried it away for £18. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
They danced off with the decorative totem pole for a £180. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:48 | |
And finally, they hit the high note with the sitar. £45 paid. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:51 | |
-Abby, Callum, was it good fun? -Yeah, definitely. -It was brilliant. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
Was it? How lovely to be with David Harper for a whole hour. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:01 | |
Abby, which is your favourite piece? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
My favourite piece was definitely the totem pole. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
The totem pole is your favourite piece. And why? | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
It was the most crazy, funny thing we saw all day, so we had to buy it. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
-OK and you agree with that, Callum? -Yeah, I think so. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
So, we love the totem pole, | 0:21:16 | 0:21:17 | |
but which piece is going to bring the biggest profit? | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
I'd say the sitar cos we managed to get it for half price | 0:21:20 | 0:21:24 | |
for what he initially set. So, we hope that will be a winner. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
That's pretty steaming, isn't it? How much did you spend? | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
£243. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:30 | |
You spent £243? That's such a mature amount of money. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
I'm so proud of you. I would like £57 of leftover lolly, please. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
-Of course. -There we go. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:39 | |
That's going to go straight over to be trousered by David Harper. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:44 | |
Now, how many 'louche' comments have you had today about your trousers? | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
-Not enough, Tim. -Really? -But plenty. -Well, don't worry... | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
I can't get enough of it. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:52 | |
What are you going to spend the £57 on, my friend? | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
It can only be one type of thing and what does it have to be, Abby? | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
-Exotic. -Exotic. I'm going for the exotic, Tim. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
Well, I'm sure you'll find something suitable. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
Anyway, very good luck with that. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:06 | |
Meanwhile, why don't we check out with the Blue team bought, eh? | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
It was the Whitefriars first up. They sealed the deal for £100. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:16 | |
They retrieved their second buy, the dog pendant for £38. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:21 | |
The final item was the cube inkwell. They settled for a price of £70. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:26 | |
-Now, Emily, Ash, that looked like fun. -Yes. -Yes. -Was it good fun? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
Lovely. Ash, which is your favourite piece? | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
It's got to be the dog. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
Very nice. Do you agree with that, Em? No. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
-No, I like my Whitefriars. -Your Whitefriars is your favourite piece? | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
-Yeah. -Is that going to bring the biggest profit? -No. -No. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
OK. So which bid is? | 0:22:47 | 0:22:48 | |
-Um... I think the inkwell is going to do the best. -Yeah. -Yeah, the inkwell. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:54 | |
-You both agree the inkwell is going to bring the biggest profit? -Yeah. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
-We think so. -Cos Kate picked it out. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:58 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
Well, that's full of confidence in your girl. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
And how much did you spend? | 0:23:02 | 0:23:03 | |
-208. -It was £208. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
-208. I'd like £92. Thank you very much. -There you go, sir. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:10 | |
-The £92, which goes straight to KB. -Wonderful. -Very good. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
Now, on this breezy and rather chilly day, | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
how do you think you're going to get on with your bonus buy shopping? | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
Well, I think it's fair to say, guys, | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
stress levels were fairly high. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
-So I'm just going to go and have a nice leisurely stroll. -Are you? | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
-Well, enjoy that and good luck. -Thank you. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
Meanwhile, we're about to go | 0:23:29 | 0:23:30 | |
and have a look at something absolutely fab! | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
Before the auction, I'm nipping off to Lichfield | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
to pay a visit to this magnificent Grade 1 listed building. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
Built back in 1707, | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
this was to become the birthplace of author Samuel Johnson, | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
best known for his book A Dictionary Of The English Language. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:59 | |
This publication set the standard for the English dictionary | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
we know today. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
This was not only the Johnson family home, | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
but it was also Samuel Johnson's father's bookshop, | 0:24:10 | 0:24:15 | |
which is still in business 300 years later. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:18 | |
Let's go and have a little shufti, shall we? | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
And it was in this very room that the young Johnson | 0:24:27 | 0:24:31 | |
could be found beavering away helping his father, re-stitching, | 0:24:31 | 0:24:36 | |
repairing and binding books. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
The beginning of a career that ultimately would make him | 0:24:39 | 0:24:43 | |
one of the greatest celebrities of his age. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
Spread over five floors, this splendid museum is now home | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
to some of Dr Johnson's personal artefacts. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
To find out more about this famous man, I'm joining Joanne Wilson, | 0:24:58 | 0:25:03 | |
who's the heritage officer at the Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:08 | |
So, Jo, tell me more about this extraordinary man. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
We know that he read avidly as a child, | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
reluctantly helped in the family bookshop, | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
-much more interested in reading the books then selling them. -Really? | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
But he would have had a formal education as well. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
He learned his Latin and Greek and literature in grammar school. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
And then went up to Pembroke College Oxford for a short while. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
He didn't finish his degree. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
He was definitely more of a genius scholar than a diligent student. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:32 | |
-Ha! Well, he sounds very, very human, anyway. -Absolutely. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
But this volume here isn't connected to him in any way | 0:25:35 | 0:25:40 | |
apart from the inscriptions. Is that right? | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
Yes, the inscriptions tell us that Johnson owned it. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
What's nice about it is it's a Latin dictionary | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
showing his skills in the Classics and his interest in dictionaries. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:51 | |
But what's most interesting about this is that it's in a right state. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
He was a man who didn't really look after his books. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
He scribbled all over them | 0:25:57 | 0:25:58 | |
and we know that his friends wouldn't lend him their volumes | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
because they didn't know what sort of state they'd get them back in. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:05 | |
Really? And ultimately, how did he get his big break? | 0:26:05 | 0:26:09 | |
So, his big break came from this kind of growing reputation | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
that with his knowledge of literature, | 0:26:12 | 0:26:13 | |
he was said to know more books than any other man. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
He built the dictionary using examples from the greatest authors, | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
so a group of printers and publishers got together, | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
decided to share the risk of the enterprise, | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
gave him 1,500 guineas and set him on his way. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
How long did he think it was going to take him | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
to produce the dictionary? | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
He said it would take him three years, | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
but he did recognise it was a very big task | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
and three years wasn't quite enough time. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
And it eventually took him nine. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:39 | |
Oh! He produces this dictionary of which we have a first edition here. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:45 | |
Yes, indeed. We've got 42,773 words in the dictionary | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
and each one has at least one or two examples of usage | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
from the leading authors of the day. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
No wonder it took him nine years. And did he have any help? | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
He did. He had a team of about nine assistants, | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
who were in fact all Scottish. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:00 | |
It's something that's often referred to | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
because there's a wonderful joke definition in the dictionary, | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
which is his definition for the word 'oats'. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
Johnson defines it as a grain, | 0:27:07 | 0:27:08 | |
which in England is generally given to horses, | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
but in Scotland, supports the people. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:14 | |
He's trying to wind them up, we think, late at night. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
Now, Jo, we can see that the dictionary itself | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
is traditionally organised in alphabetic form. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:23 | |
But of all these words, are there any of any particular interest? | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
On this particular page, | 0:27:27 | 0:27:28 | |
there's quite a nice one here that I rather like, | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
which is 'skimbleskamble' - wandering or wild. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
So a nice example of a word that we no longer use, | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
but that Johnson captured as one of the words of his time. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
Now, did he prosper as a result of producing the dictionary? | 0:27:39 | 0:27:43 | |
He became very well-known, but he wasn't particularly wealthy. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
That only happened in 1762, when he was given a pension by the King | 0:27:45 | 0:27:49 | |
and then he was able to live a comfortable life. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
And he eventually died in 1784 | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
and was buried in Westminster Abbey in Poets Corner. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
So, he was given national recognition. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
-He achieved the ultimate celebrity that he deserved. -Absolutely. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
Brilliant. Anyway, thank you very much, Jo. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
The big question today is, of course, | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
over at the auction in Lichfield, | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
are any of our teams about to achieve celebrity? | 0:28:09 | 0:28:13 | |
Well, we winged it from Peterborough all the way to Lichfield | 0:28:25 | 0:28:29 | |
to be with Richard Winterton at Winterton Auctions. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
-Richard, how are you? -I'm fab. Absolutely brilliant. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:34 | |
-Are you? -Yep. Really good. -Thank you very much for having us. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
Now, Abby and Callum will be grateful | 0:28:37 | 0:28:39 | |
because their first item is a drinks tray, | 0:28:39 | 0:28:42 | |
which, I have to say, is a pretty ordinary drinks tray. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:45 | |
Where do you think that came from, Damascus? | 0:28:45 | 0:28:48 | |
-Yeah, it's got to be that way, isn't it? -Yes. How much? -I think... | 0:28:48 | 0:28:51 | |
Now I'm looking at it, I think I probably overcooked it. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
I bid of 30 to 40, but... | 0:28:53 | 0:28:55 | |
Oh! So, you're going to reduce the estimate, then? | 0:28:55 | 0:28:57 | |
No, we'll...we'll stick to it, | 0:28:57 | 0:28:59 | |
but if we get to 30, I'll be well chuffed. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:01 | |
Well, you don't need to strain yourself because they only paid £18. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:04 | |
-That's about right. -It's neither here nor there, frankly, | 0:29:04 | 0:29:08 | |
because their big-moneyed number is the totem pole, which is... | 0:29:08 | 0:29:14 | |
-weird? -Yes. What would you do with it? | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
Do you know what, Richard, I think this is fairground art. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:21 | |
I think the totem pole was made to go on a showman's... | 0:29:21 | 0:29:25 | |
bit of entertainment, may be dodgems or Noah's Ark. Something like that. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:29 | |
-What do you think? -That's a good shout, that. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:31 | |
-You'll have to announce it from the rostrum. -Hm. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:34 | |
-Make more that way round, maybe. -Oh, we hope so. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:37 | |
-OK. What's your estimate? -We've gone 60 to 80. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:40 | |
Try £180 on. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:42 | |
OK... | 0:29:43 | 0:29:44 | |
We'll see if I'm skilled in the auctioneering business, won't you? | 0:29:44 | 0:29:48 | |
And another object from east of Lichfield. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:52 | |
-Yep. -The sitar. -It's nicely made. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:54 | |
I think it's a decorative sort of item, isn't it? | 0:29:54 | 0:29:57 | |
It's got a bit of something going for it. I think it's nice. | 0:29:57 | 0:29:59 | |
-Light and fresh. -What do you think it might be worth? | 0:29:59 | 0:30:03 | |
We've got £50-£80. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:04 | |
That is fantastic because they only paid £45. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:07 | |
And quite frankly, I think at £45 it is a snip. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:11 | |
Really pleased. Really pleased. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:13 | |
OK, well, anyway, if the totem doesn't prove to be a winner | 0:30:13 | 0:30:16 | |
they're going to need the bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:20 | |
-Well, this is exciting, isn't it? Yes? -Yes. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:23 | |
The Red Team had £243 spent. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:27 | |
£57 went to David Harper. What did you spend it on, David? | 0:30:27 | 0:30:31 | |
Something exotic. Because I think we've got a theme here. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:35 | |
-Absolutely. -Travel. Far off, distant lands. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:39 | |
You bought a boulder! | 0:30:39 | 0:30:40 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:30:40 | 0:30:41 | |
-It started off its life as a boulder, Tim. -Yeah. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:45 | |
But it was very skilfully | 0:30:45 | 0:30:46 | |
and craftily made into an animal of some sort. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:50 | |
-Really? -Is it like a feline? | 0:30:50 | 0:30:51 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:30:51 | 0:30:53 | |
It has a feline look, doesn't it? But it's Zimbabwean. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |
-Ah! -Yes, it's from the Shona people. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:58 | |
And I know these very well | 0:30:58 | 0:31:00 | |
because I did some of my schooling in Zimbabwe, so I lived there. | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
And I used to ride to school on my motorbike, | 0:31:03 | 0:31:05 | |
past these guys making these things by the side of the road. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:09 | |
They are fantastic. Made out of soapstone. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:12 | |
It could be the Zimbabwe bird. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:14 | |
-It could be. But it looks more like a cat. -She's a big cat lover. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
-Are you? -Yeah. -It's a cat. -How much did it cost? | 0:31:17 | 0:31:20 | |
How much do you think? Hand carved and signed. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:24 | |
-50 quid? -It would be worth 50 quid all day long. I paid 20. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:28 | |
-Wow! -You paid 20? -Yes. And every single one is completely unique. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
-Obviously. -Well, I like it. How much would it make at the auction? | 0:31:31 | 0:31:35 | |
In auction, as an individual one, 20 to 50 to 80. It's that kind of feel. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:41 | |
-So there's a potential profit there. -Well, you don't decide right now. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:44 | |
You decide after the sale of the first three items. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:47 | |
But right now, for the audience at home, let's find out what the | 0:31:47 | 0:31:52 | |
auctioneer thinks about David's little feline precious. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:56 | |
-OK, Richard, this is a nice doorstop for you. -Oh, look at that! | 0:31:57 | 0:32:01 | |
-It's a lump, isn't it? -I think you are spot on with your doorstop. | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
-Yeah. And it came from Zimbabwe. -Did it? -Apparently. -OK. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:09 | |
-It's a lot of work in that, isn't it? -There you go. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:11 | |
Oh, dear. I'm going to pop it down over here, quick. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:14 | |
-So, how much? -20-30. -OK. Great. David Harper has invested £20. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:20 | |
-OK. -So that's pretty good, isn't it? | 0:32:20 | 0:32:22 | |
-Yeah, that'll be OK. -They should turn a profit for that. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:24 | |
Which is great. Now, moving on to the Blues. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:27 | |
We've got the Whitefriars Baxter-designed vase. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:30 | |
Oh, I like these. These are good sellers. For the modern taste. | 0:32:30 | 0:32:34 | |
This is the sort of colour they like. It's got a good look to it. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:37 | |
OK, so, good looking, how much? | 0:32:37 | 0:32:39 | |
-We've gone 80-120. -OK. £100 paid. So that's fair enough. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:44 | |
Then you've got the German Shepherd charm. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:46 | |
Again, that's a good, interesting item. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:49 | |
-In 9 Karat gold. How much? -50-80 on that one. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
Good. £38 paid. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:54 | |
-Again, good. -Now the glass cube inkwell. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:58 | |
Incredibly well carved that, isn't it? | 0:32:58 | 0:33:01 | |
And collectable at the moment, these inkwell or pens. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:05 | |
It's had a real buzz lately. They are always sought-after. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:08 | |
-OK, super. How much then? -We've gone 70-90. -Good man! £70 paid. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:12 | |
And personally, I can see that making £120 or £150. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:16 | |
-On a good day. -No pressure then. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
Well, depending on how the pressure goes, | 0:33:19 | 0:33:21 | |
they may or may not need their bonus buy. | 0:33:21 | 0:33:23 | |
But let's go and have a look at it. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:25 | |
Isn't this fun, team. You spent £208. You gave Kate £92. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:30 | |
Kate, what did you spend it on? And let me help you! | 0:33:30 | 0:33:33 | |
-Ta-da! -Oh! | 0:33:33 | 0:33:34 | |
I do feel like a little bit of a waitress standing here. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:37 | |
You can see, that's rather apt considering what I'm offering you. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:41 | |
Now, I was quite chuffed with this, actually, as a bonus buy. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:45 | |
It's known as Picquot Ware. And there's a really interesting story | 0:33:45 | 0:33:49 | |
behind the manufacture of this. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:51 | |
Because Picquot Ware is a by-product from a factory that sold | 0:33:51 | 0:33:56 | |
-vacuum cleaners. -Really? | 0:33:56 | 0:33:58 | |
And the vacuum cleaners had a component in them | 0:33:58 | 0:34:01 | |
which was made of an aluminium alloy. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:03 | |
And the aluminium alloy came from a foundry that was so successful, | 0:34:03 | 0:34:08 | |
the manufacturers thought, we've got to find something else to make, | 0:34:08 | 0:34:11 | |
and so, they started teaware. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:14 | |
And this is what you've got. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:15 | |
And the most distinctive characteristics are the fact | 0:34:15 | 0:34:18 | |
that the teapots, jugs, sugar bowls were cast out of one piece. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:24 | |
You've got sycamore handles, and I think it's very stylish. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:28 | |
-Cool. Big question then, Kate... -Hmm? | 0:34:28 | 0:34:31 | |
How much did you pay for it? | 0:34:31 | 0:34:32 | |
I paid £25. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:34 | |
-SHE GASPS -Is that all? -Really? | 0:34:34 | 0:34:36 | |
-For the whole shebang. -OK. And then how much in auction then? | 0:34:36 | 0:34:38 | |
Well, I've seen these go for £40-£60. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:43 | |
You've got the tray as well, which is rather nice, | 0:34:43 | 0:34:45 | |
cos very often you only see a couple of pieces together. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:47 | |
-So, I've got... -Can I have a look? | 0:34:47 | 0:34:50 | |
Grab a piece. That's it, Emily. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:51 | |
Have a little touchy feel. You can feel the weight of it. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:54 | |
It is a cast metal... | 0:34:54 | 0:34:55 | |
And we are talking to a pair of contestants here | 0:34:55 | 0:34:58 | |
who know their metals, right? | 0:34:58 | 0:34:59 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:34:59 | 0:35:00 | |
-You know about alloys and...you know? -We know our scrap. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
We know our scrap. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:04 | |
-I quite like that. -Very nice, yeah. -Right. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:07 | |
So, we know it costs £25. We have the prediction | 0:35:07 | 0:35:10 | |
as to what Kate thinks it might bring in the auction. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:13 | |
Why don't we, right now, find out what the auctioneer | 0:35:13 | 0:35:15 | |
thinks about Kate's tea set? | 0:35:15 | 0:35:17 | |
One lump or two, vicar? | 0:35:18 | 0:35:19 | |
Ah. We see a few of these, you know? | 0:35:19 | 0:35:22 | |
You'd think there weren't so many Picquot tea services about, | 0:35:22 | 0:35:25 | |
but actually, there's thousands, aren't there? | 0:35:25 | 0:35:28 | |
-We would have one a sale. -One a sale. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:29 | |
-Yeah. -They must have made a lot of money making them | 0:35:29 | 0:35:32 | |
cos they were very popular. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:33 | |
What's one in vaguely-used condition like that worth? | 0:35:33 | 0:35:36 | |
A few years ago, it would have been...70-80. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:38 | |
We're at about 30-40 now, because, like you, | 0:35:38 | 0:35:40 | |
I didn't expect to be that many out there but they keep popping up. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:43 | |
OK, fine. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:44 | |
Well, Kate Bliss, I'm glad to say, only paid £25. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:47 | |
That's about what to expect. | 0:35:47 | 0:35:48 | |
-So, we just need you to scrape home, Richard. -Yeah. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:51 | |
-That would be really kind. -It would. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:53 | |
-Thank you very much. -My pleasure. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:55 | |
Time for Richard to rally up the room and take to the rostrum. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:59 | |
35. 45. 50. | 0:35:59 | 0:36:02 | |
£50 down there. At £50 I'm bid... | 0:36:02 | 0:36:04 | |
So, Abby, how excited are you, sweetie? | 0:36:07 | 0:36:09 | |
-Pretty excited. A little bit nervous. -Are you? | 0:36:09 | 0:36:11 | |
Yeah. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:12 | |
-What about you, Callum? -Yeah, likewise. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |
But I got a good feeling about this. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:16 | |
Have you? It's certainly a crowded saleroom, isn't it, Dave? | 0:36:16 | 0:36:18 | |
-Great saleroom. -You know, it's stuffed up with people. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:21 | |
-Let's hope it all translates into profits. -Fingers crossed. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:24 | |
First up then, is your carved drinks tray, and here it comes. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |

We're going to sell it. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:46 | |
-Sold at £10. -Ooh. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:49 | |
£10 is -8. Bad luck. | 0:36:49 | 0:36:51 | |
-Not to worry. -Not the best start. -Yeah. -Here's the totem pole. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:54 | |
What's going to happen with this? | 0:36:54 | 0:36:55 | |
Totem pole. Bidding now. | 0:36:55 | 0:36:57 | |
Start me at £30. | 0:36:57 | 0:36:58 | |
£30 I'm bid. 35. £40. | 0:36:58 | 0:37:01 | |

-£60 internet's come in. -Come on. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:06 | |
£60, the internet. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:07 | |
At £60. At £60. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:09 | |
Selling then. Internet bid. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:11 | |
Sold at £60. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:14 | |
-£60. -Ouch. -It's -120. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:17 | |
-Oh, dear. -The sitar's going to have to do quite well. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:19 | |
-It certainly is going to have to hit the right note. -Hmm. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
Ah, we go now this time. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:24 | |
£20 I'm bid. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:25 | |
25. £30. | 0:37:25 | 0:37:27 | |

-That's £70 I'm bid. At £70. -CALLUM: -Go on! | 0:37:36 | 0:37:38 | |
-At £70. -What do you think about that? | 0:37:38 | 0:37:40 | |
Room is out. Internet, you are out. | 0:37:40 | 0:37:42 | |
Sold then, at £70. | 0:37:42 | 0:37:44 | |
So, that's 5 short of 50. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:46 | |
So that is...plus £25. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:48 | |
You were -£128, | 0:37:48 | 0:37:51 | |
which means you're now -103. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:55 | |
-Yay. -Is that record breaking? -Yeah. -Yes. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:57 | |
It's the totem pole what did it in for you. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:00 | |
So, what will you do about the boulder? | 0:38:00 | 0:38:02 | |
Are you going to go with it? | 0:38:02 | 0:38:03 | |
BOTH: I think we're going to have to, yeah. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
Well, why not? It's £20. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:06 | |
-It's a nice thing, isn't it? -Yeah. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:09 | |
So, it should be at least £10 to £20 profit. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:11 | |
The sculpture there. Nothing on my book again. £5 to start me. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:14 | |
£5 I'm bid. 5 I'm bid. The sculpture. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:16 | |
At 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:20 | |
£20 I'm bid centre room. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:22 | |
-Almost a profit. -At £20 I'm bid. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:24 | |
-22. -Yes. -Almost. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:26 | |

-Yes! -£98. -Victory! -Results. -Absolutely. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:37 | |
-It's amazing and you've convinced yourselves. -We're winners! | 0:38:37 | 0:38:41 | |
We've got high hopes. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:42 | |
Great success by only losing £98. No, anyway. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:46 | |
-Now, seriously, that could be a winning score, right? -Yeah. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:49 | |
-Could be. -I think so. -Don't say a word to the Blues. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:51 | |
-Oh, no, no. We'll keep our mouths... tightly shut. -Tightly shut. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:54 | |
-Won't give up hope. -Thank you very much. Good fun. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:56 | |
-Now, Em, Ash, how are you feeling? -Nervous. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:04 | |
-Do you know how the Reds got on? -No, no. -Not a clue. -Not a clue. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:07 | |
Right. Here we go, then. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:08 | |

Oh, yes! That's good. That's good. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:03 | |
-£50... £60. Lady at £60. -Oh, God, I'm not... | 0:40:03 | 0:40:06 | |

Everyone, house out. Internet out. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:34 | |
In the room, sold at £80. Thank you, sir. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:38 | |
£80 is good. It's plus £10. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:40 | |
That is plus £32. That's very good. £32. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:45 | |
So, what are you going to do about the tea set, then? | 0:40:45 | 0:40:47 | |
-Are you going to bank your £32? -What do you reckon? | 0:40:47 | 0:40:49 | |
-We'll leave it. -You don't look... -Leave it. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:51 | |
-Leave it cos we're in profit. -We'll leave it. We're in profit. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:54 | |
I mean, you know that's a bit of a meal, isn't it? | 0:40:54 | 0:40:56 | |
On the other hand, | 0:40:56 | 0:40:57 | |
what happens if that Picquot set makes £40 or £50, eh? | 0:40:57 | 0:41:00 | |
Then we'll say sorry to Kate. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:02 | |
OK, we're not going with the bonus buy, | 0:41:02 | 0:41:04 | |
but we're going to sell it anyway and here it comes. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:06 | |
Nothing on my book again. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:07 | |
Where are we starting now? 30, 20, £10 to start me. | 0:41:07 | 0:41:10 | |

Internet, you're out again. 25 on my left. 30 Internet bid. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:21 | |
We are in profit. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:22 | |
-£30. 35 in the room. -35 in the room. -35 in the room. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:27 | |
£35, sold. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:28 | |
-Well done, Kate. £35 plus £10... -At least it wasn't 50. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:31 | |
-Anyway, overall you are plus £32. -We are still in profit. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:34 | |
There's no shame in that, all right. And that's fair enough. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:38 | |
So, it could be a winning score. Say not a word to the Reds. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:42 | |
And we'll reveal all in a minute. Thank you very much. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:44 | |
Well, teams, this has been fun, hasn't it? | 0:41:51 | 0:41:52 | |
ALL: Yes. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:53 | |
You've been chatting, you Reds and Blues? | 0:41:53 | 0:41:56 | |
-Ish. -Ish. -THEY LAUGH | 0:41:56 | 0:41:58 | |
-But not about the score, we hope. -No. -No. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:01 | |
Well, it is my duty to reveal, as usual. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:03 | |
We have a winner on this programme. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:05 | |
We don't have losers any more. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:07 | |
We simply have a runner-up. And the runners-up today are... | 0:42:07 | 0:42:11 | |
The Reds. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:13 | |
ALL: Oh! | 0:42:13 | 0:42:14 | |
The Reds have managed to run up by losing £98. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:17 | |
Yeah! | 0:42:17 | 0:42:18 | |
And that sitar nearly did it for you, didn't it, Callum? | 0:42:18 | 0:42:21 | |
-Yeah, it did. -Yeah. -That was our best one. -It was your best one. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:24 | |
-Anyway. You had a good time? -Brilliant time. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:26 | |
We loved having you on the show, | 0:42:26 | 0:42:27 | |
but the victors today are actually going home with money. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:29 | |
-Ooh! -Yes! They're going home with £32. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:33 | |
That is a deep shock across the nation. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:35 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:42:35 | 0:42:36 | |
£32 has actually been scored genuinely and above the board. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:40 | |
And it could have been £42 if you had gone with the bonus buy, | 0:42:40 | 0:42:44 | |
-which, of course, genius Kate came up with. -Sorry. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:47 | |
-Anyway, there we are. Well done. -Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:49 | |
I'd give up the day plumbing job | 0:42:49 | 0:42:51 | |
and I'd take up antiques straightaway. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:53 | |
-Had a good time? -Yeah. It's been great. -Absolutely. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:56 | |
We loved having you on the programme. | 0:42:56 | 0:42:58 | |
In fact, join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes? | 0:42:58 | 0:43:00 | |
ALL: Yes! | 0:43:00 | 0:43:02 |
