0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today we've headed east.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Well, to the east of England, actually, to Peterborough,
0:00:07 > 0:00:12where there are 1,700 stalls waiting for us to do our stuff,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16so what are we waiting for? Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Apparently, this antiques festival attracts
0:00:44 > 0:00:46the top end of 15,000 people,
0:00:46 > 0:00:51but fortunately, our teams are relatively easy to spot,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54so let's take a peek as to what's coming up.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Both teams find themselves really up against it.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59- Seven minutes.- Oh, no!
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Time's running!
0:01:01 > 0:01:04But who will be the ultimate victor at auction?
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Well done, girls. Winners.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- Sold! - This is looking seriously good.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11But before all that, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15So, on Bargain Hunt today
0:01:15 > 0:01:17we have a team of friends.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Well, they're friends at the moment.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22We have Amy and we have Dawn. Welcome.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27And for the Blues we have father and son combo Stevie and Craig.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Lovely to see you.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Now, Amy, how did you two first meet?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Well, we both enrolled on an access to higher education course
0:01:35 > 0:01:37and we've been friends ever since.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41You've had a previous career before you went for further education.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Well, I actually originally went to do nursing,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46but then changed my mind
0:01:46 > 0:01:50and ended up applying for a place on a psychology degree.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Are you going to become a clinical psychologist? Is that the plan?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55That is the plan, yes.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Ideally, I'd like to be working in the neuroscience side of it,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03because I have a vested interest in patients with Alzheimer's
0:02:03 > 0:02:05and Parkinson's, things like that.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07It's quite a good old path, that, isn't it?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Yeah, and it's not cheap either.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13But if you've got the ambition and you've got the ability,
0:02:13 > 0:02:14- why not go for it?- Exactly.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Dawn, you've got plans to be in the nursing profession too.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22I have, yes. I'm just in my first year of my adult nursing degree
0:02:22 > 0:02:24and I hope one day I'll be a Macmillan nurse.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27And what were you doing before you're doing what you're doing now?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30I worked in schools. My last job was with special needs children.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33So you decided that nursing might be the next logical step?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35The caring profession was always kind of in me, I think.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38And what about your interest in antiques and collectibles?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41At one point, I like to think I was a little bit clever
0:02:41 > 0:02:46and I used to buy little pin dishes and cool pottery on the internet.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- You know - last-minute buys, 99p specials.- Oh, yes.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51And thought maybe I could make a bit of a profit.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Never really made that much of a profit.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56When you say you thought you were, I bet you were jolly clever at it.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Didn't do too bad. - Well, there we are.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- It's certainly not as easy as some people make it look.- Yes.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02- But quite fun to have a go at. - Oh, yeah.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05All right, well, there's going to be a lot for you to go at, I tell you,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07with your £300. Anyway, good luck, girls.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Now, Steve, it says here that your interest in antiques
0:03:10 > 0:03:11started when you were a nipper.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15That's right, yep. I've been in the glazing industry for 30-odd years.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I used to do a lot of work on churches,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20doing a bit of putty bashing here and there, glazing.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22That's what got me involved in antique glass.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Over the years, obviously the double glazing side came in,
0:03:25 > 0:03:26so I went over to the dark side.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30But when it comes to this old glazing, the old leadlight glazing,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- that was quite a skilful business, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34The damaged ones -
0:03:34 > 0:03:37you get children throwing little stones or birds flying in,
0:03:37 > 0:03:38so we did a lot of repair work,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40which involves peeling the lead back,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43taking the old piece out and trying to match the glass in.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- That's the hardest bit.- Yeah.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Some of the glass had been there hundreds of years,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49so we've got to get something that's very close,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51but still wants to look right
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- when you're stood there singing your heart out.- Exactly.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Craig, what's it like working with your dad
0:03:55 > 0:03:56in the double glazing business?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- It's a nightmare.- Is it? - Absolute nightmare.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- You've got to keep an eye on him at all times.- Really?
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Is he good on cost control?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- He's not bad.- I bet he's good on controlling your wages.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07He is. Definitely on a Friday.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Friday afternoon, about five o'clock, he is.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12And what do you get up to when you're not working?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I'm a sport person. I play for my local football team.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I think they just ring me up for the numbers, really.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20And antiques - what do you know about antiques?
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Not a great deal.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- You'll do very well on this programme.- I'm relying on Dad.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I'm relying on Dad for that one.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Well, right on. Anyway, here we go, look.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- £300.- Thank you.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33You know the rules, your experts await and off you go!
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Very, very, very good luck.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Double glazing, eh? Hmm...
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Now, let's meet our experts, who are both in "reflective" mode today.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46David Harper hopes to strike the right chord for the Reds
0:04:46 > 0:04:49and in the driving seat for the Blues is Kate Bliss.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Are you excited?- Very excited. - Raring to go?- Just a bit, like.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55We're up bright and early this morning to study everything.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Good morning.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58What are we going to be looking for, Dawn?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Maybe some Victoriana.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- Victoriana? My gosh! - Something with a story.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Do you like something with a story? - I love a story.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I love a story! Amy?
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Art Deco.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Art Deco? Fantastic!
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Right, teams, are you ready? - BOTH: Yay!
0:05:13 > 0:05:14- Let's go!- Let's crack on.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18No, no, no.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Down there, Kate. There's enough plastics there.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- What have you spotted? - I like the sewing box.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25My grandmother had something very similar, but nothing like this.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Sell it to Dawn, tell her all about it.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Come on, bring it out.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- Try harder.- Yeah.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33How old do you think that is?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Maybe, like, '40s?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Yeah, I think you're absolutely right.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Hinges look very Victorian, don't you?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Yeah.- But they're not, it's just the style.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Made from plywood, I think.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45The materials themselves are quite cheap,
0:05:45 > 0:05:51so I suppose made during a time when supplies of solid timbers,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53teaks, mahoganies, were very restricted.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56This is just after the Second World War, probably.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I like the sewing box idea, but I'm not sure about this particular one.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01We can keep it in the bank, though, can't we?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I think it's a little bit shabby.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05OK.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06I quite like it, but...
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- What's it going to make in auction, this is the thing.- How much is it?
0:06:09 > 0:06:10- 40...- £40.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- I'd say it's more 20.- You might be very lucky for that to make £40,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- anywhere near.- I'd think you'd have to really appreciate...
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Vintage is in but I don't think it's 40 quid.- Shall we keep looking...?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- It's a good warm-up. It's a warm-up, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- OK, we'll leave it there for now. - Yeah.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30That's right, take your time, and don't get "stitched" up. Ha!
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Meanwhile, Kate has spotted a rather nice piece of glass.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- It's in the style of Lalique.- Yeah.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- It's definitely not Lalique.- No.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40This is moulded,
0:06:40 > 0:06:43but I like it cos you've got some very geometric things,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45which are quite Art Deco.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46You've also got wings,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48which are very reminiscent of the Art-Deco period.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50It was an age of speed
0:06:50 > 0:06:53and wings were used a lot.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56You think of car mascots with the Spirit of Ecstasy,
0:06:56 > 0:06:58with wings outstretched.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- I quite like that. - Think there's any age to it?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I would say it's certainly 20th century.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06It's in the Art-Deco style,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08but I think it's probably quite a bit later.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- '50s, '60s, maybe.- What sort of value do you think we're looking at?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I don't know. We'll have to go and ask.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- You have a little look here while I go and have a word.- Thank you.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Whilst the Blues wait on a price for the bowl,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22David has a challenge for the Reds.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25There's a good tester, then - what is that?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Pewter?- Some sort of mould?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Oh, no, it's...- What's it for?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Feel it, it's lead, isn't it?- Is it lead?- Got to be lead, hasn't it?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Got the weight of lead, hasn't it?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36What was it made for, do you think?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Tobacco?- Well done, you!
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Did that just come to you from nowhere?- Yeah.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43But do you like it? Do you love it or not?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- I like it, but I don't know what you'd use it for.- Are we saying no?
0:07:47 > 0:07:48- Yes.- I say no.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50OK. We're saying no.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Kate has chatted to a shy stallholder
0:07:52 > 0:07:56away from our cameras and now has a price update on the glass bowl.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Right, guys, I thought it was rather nice.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- Go on.- The stallholder thinks it is period, it's '30s,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04and it's very definitely French.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- The bad news is...- Yes?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- ..it's £190!- Oh, dear.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13That's the best price, so obviously that's a huge chunk of our budget.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- No?- No.- No, no.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19We can always come back to it, so we'll put it back for now
0:08:19 > 0:08:22and have a little think. Carefully put it back.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Move on and have a think, Blues.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Seems the Reds are of the same mind.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32Right, you two, you've had two or three good warm-ups, right?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- But you've bought nothing and you've had...- They're rubbish!
0:08:34 > 0:08:37..21 minutes.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Hey, no need to panic,
0:08:38 > 0:08:42because neither have the Blues. However, they look set for takeoff.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Whoo!
0:08:45 > 0:08:46What do you think, guys?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- That's different, innit? - That's a bit of fun.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Little bit of a chip to the paint there.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Douglas DC-3, that's the plane.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55That's not liable to be silver on top, is it?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57No, that's chrome-plated.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Do you think the plane's a 1950s plane?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02No, I'd say it's an earlier plane, maybe?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Hmm, I'm not sure.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I'd say the lighter's probably '70s. Difficult to say.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08What about the price?
0:09:08 > 0:09:0935 is on there.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I'd really like it at £10-£15, I think.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I think somebody would have a go at that for a bit of fun.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- I think so, yeah.- What do you think? - I think it's got to be 30 quid.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- Really.- It's got to be 30?- Yeah.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22What do you think?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24I don't know. I'd prefer, like you said...
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- I think that could be the quirky item we're looking for.- Could be for 25.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Does it come with a full fuel tank?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Would have paid 28 for a full tank. - STALLHOLDER: 25 quid.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- 25?- Yeah.- What do you reckon, guys?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- I think so. - Let's go for it.- Is that OK?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- It's a good boy's toy.- Yeah, yeah.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much, young man.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44- OK.- Thank you.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Fasten your seat belts - the Blues are away.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Despite the huge number of dealers here,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51just as soon as the Blues jet off...
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- Art-Deco tiles.- ..the Reds check in at the same stall.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Amy, you like that, eh?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- I do. - And they match your trousers, David.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Well, I'm going to do a bit more testing on you two.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Quite heavy.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I like the colours. I really like the colours.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Do you like the design?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I do, actually. I like the fact it's all crackled as well.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13That's probably the finish, actually.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15That's probably how they were originally.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16It's Art Nouveau.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Yeah, very clever(!) You've just read that.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20What date does that mean?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I'm sure it's 1920s.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- So wrong. - I got it the wrong way round.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26You did. '20s is Art Deco.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- BOTH: Oh! - 1925 onwards.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Art Nouveau - 1890 to about the beginning of the First World War,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34because if you think about it,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37when the First World War arrives in 1914,
0:10:37 > 0:10:38no-one is that interested
0:10:38 > 0:10:41in all these flash, floral, organic designs,
0:10:41 > 0:10:43because the world is just exploding,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45so Art Nouveau pretty much comes to an end.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47So what do we think about the cracks, though?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- Well, the crazing is OK, the cracks aren't good.- No.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Shall we ask this lovely gentleman?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Allowing for the fact that four are broken,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I put it at 145,
0:10:57 > 0:11:02so I'm not too far away from that, so I will take 120.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I'm going to let Amy be the decider.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09As she wanted an Art-Deco/Art-Nouveau piece.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- So basically the responsibility is on your shoulders.- Fantastic(!)
0:11:13 > 0:11:14- I'm feeling so relaxed right now. - So am I!
0:11:14 > 0:11:17If it all goes wrong, it's got nothing to do with us.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18This now, that's it? That's the bet?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- We'll have them. - We're going to do it.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Thank you very much. Shake the man's hand.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28So after half an hour out on the tiles with David,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30the Reds make their first purchase.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Over to the Blues and Craig is playing detective.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35There's a name here.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Kate, for the stamp, JC Vickery, is that?
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Let's have a little look.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41JC Vickery.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44That's quite nice. Regents Street,
0:11:44 > 0:11:49- and the maker, yes, JCV you've got as the initials on there.- Yep.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- How much is that, please? - 95, that one.- 95.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54It's a lovely quality piece.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Is there any movement on that at all, on the price?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Not a lot. I can go ten, 85.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- 85.- I paid a fair bit for it.- Yeah.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- It's lovely condition. - It is a lovely quality piece.
0:12:05 > 0:12:0785...
0:12:07 > 0:12:08CRAIG: I think it's too much.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- I don't think it's going to bring us a huge profit.- No.- No.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Unfortunately. It's a lovely thing,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15but at auction I don't think it's going to bring us very much.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Yep, if you're unsure, move on, Blues.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Now, I've got the chance to have a poke around.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23But talk about a distraction!
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Oh, hello, Tim!
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Ah, this is a moment, isn't it?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Look at those trousers. - I knew you'd be jealous.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Did you buy 'em here?
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- I did not! - BOTH: They had to be specially made!
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Anyway, how's the shop going? All right?- Oh, it's very stressful.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Have you bought anything yet?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Yes, one thing.- One thing? - Yes.- On his recommendation?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- No.- It's on my head.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Is it? Oh, Amy.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50You've got Dawn patrol with you, haven't you?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Who's going to be there for you. - She's reining me in a bit.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Make sure everything's all right.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Yes?- Yes!- Anyway, very good luck, all right?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Well done, team.- See you soon! - Bye!- Thank you!
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- There's another minute wasted! - Yep.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I'll give you a minute wasted.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08In this game, it's all about seat-of-your-pants stuff.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Anyway, moving on and Steve is still looking
0:13:10 > 0:13:13for that elusive piece of glass.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Thank you very much.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Look at that! - That's different, isn't?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19You could say that.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21It's very tactile, isn't it?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- That's... What do you reckon, Craig? - That's quite nice, actually.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- I do like that.- Can I just have a look at the bottom?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- There's certainly not much age to that.- Isn't there?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31You're being very diplomatic, Kate.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I think the bloke who was heating it up
0:13:33 > 0:13:35it seems he was trying to get it off the end of his thing
0:13:35 > 0:13:38and it kept twisting round and he's ended up with that!
0:13:38 > 0:13:40You're not selling it to me.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I'm trying to get the price down before we start.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45What sort of price are we looking at?
0:13:45 > 0:13:46I'd do that one for £20.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51You've got to imagine this in a saleroom full of antiques.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55It has its own niche - it is a piece of Murano,
0:13:55 > 0:13:56it's not pretending to be old.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Would you class that as an antique of the future?- Er...
0:13:59 > 0:14:00If somebody bought that now,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03would they think, "In a couple of years' time, I think that'd look..."
0:14:03 > 0:14:05They could put it back in auction and think, "Hmm..."
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I think you need more than a couple of years.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Couple? You sure?- Yeah, like, quite a lot more than a couple of years.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13It's not going to cost us a lot of money if it goes wrong.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15It's not,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18but then we could buy something else which could get us a good profit,
0:14:18 > 0:14:22so we're buying that instead of something which has more potential.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I know, I can see how struck you are on it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27There is Murano collectors as well, isn't there?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29There are Murano collectors indeed, yeah.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Now you've done it, haven't you?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- You certainly wanted a piece of glass, didn't you?- I did.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Is it worth a punt?- I think so.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- I think so. - OK, let's make a decision.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- Time's ticking. - That's what I'm thinking.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42You're not letting go of it, I can see.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- Could you take a £10 note, madam?- 15.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47We've got to put it into auction.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Meet me in the middle.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- 12.- Have we got a deal?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Yeah, I think we have. Lovely, thank you very much. Thank you.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54Ta, ducky. Thank you.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58OK, despite Kate's reservations,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01the Blues have found their second item, well done.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Now, I have a sticky question for you.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05What's a stick pin?
0:15:05 > 0:15:11Well, if you want an example of a dead bog-standard stick pin,
0:15:11 > 0:15:13this is it.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17A slab of gold that's been cut in a heart shape
0:15:17 > 0:15:20and then inset with a seed pearl.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24You can use them simply to put in a lapel, like this one,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26to show that you're in love,
0:15:26 > 0:15:29or you could use it, perhaps, as a tie pin,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32with a little protector on the end.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37If you decided to start your collection of stick pins today,
0:15:37 > 0:15:42that one, as a little sweetheart stick pin in gold,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45might cost you £30.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Now, this one is much more utilitarian.
0:15:49 > 0:15:55M-O-T-H stands for the Memorable Order of Tin Hats.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58This is a club that was available to service people
0:15:58 > 0:16:00who had served in the First World War,
0:16:00 > 0:16:05founded in 1927 in Durban, South Africa,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08but it was a place for ex-service people to go
0:16:08 > 0:16:12and remember their time in that ghastly conflict,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15but because it's non-precious metal,
0:16:15 > 0:16:17you could buy it here in Peterborough
0:16:17 > 0:16:19for just £3.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22But the piece de resistance is in the leather case -
0:16:22 > 0:16:25the stick pin case from heaven,
0:16:25 > 0:16:30with its gorgeous, rich, green gilt interior
0:16:30 > 0:16:35and this stick pin is a cracker.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40Look carefully at the mount - it's a tooth from a shark,
0:16:40 > 0:16:46once was in the jaws of a shark off the coast of Australia.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49How do I know it was off the coast of Australia?
0:16:49 > 0:16:54Well, look at the name stamped into the gold on the top.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57It's stamped with the maker's name, Basse,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01above some numerals which read "15 carat".
0:17:01 > 0:17:05this is 15-carat gold that once upon a time was mined
0:17:05 > 0:17:08from the South Australian gold reefs
0:17:08 > 0:17:13and was formed by an Australian goldsmith called Basse.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15What would it cost you?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Well, if you found a dealer who couldn't read the mark,
0:17:18 > 0:17:24who didn't realise that Basse was a South Australian goldsmith,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28you might be able to buy it for £80 or £90.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32On the other hand, if you know all that
0:17:32 > 0:17:34and you were to sell it in South Australia,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37you'd be quite likely to get the top end
0:17:37 > 0:17:41of 500 Australian dollars for it.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44And at that, you really ought to bite the dealer's hand off.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Now, back to the shopping,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51and are the Reds about to bite a dealer's hands off
0:17:51 > 0:17:52to buy their next item?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Remember, purchase-wise, it's 2-1 up to the Blues.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I've got to tell you something - I love an object there.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- That?- Yeah. Shall I tell you what it is?- You'll have to tell us.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10- It's a knife box.- Knife box? - A knife box. From 1770, 1790.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13There should be a sectioned interior...
0:18:13 > 0:18:16And there isn't, no sectioned interior.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- You've got parquetry decoration on the interior.- I do love that.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I love the inside of the lid.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- Yeah, that's about as much as I love, really!- Really?- Yes.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- You don't love the whole body of it? The shape of it?- No!
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- But it is a usable thing. - It's been loved a bit too much.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- But that's its character, if you look at...- It's from the 1700s!
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- How much is it?- I don't know. I'm going to find out.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41- What have we got on the beaten-up knife box?- 55.- Really?- Yeah.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46- 55! It's really beaten up.- Nice try, Dawn.- Lovely colour, though.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- This is lovely.- It's a good colour, the colour is the best part.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52The colour is delicious. And the shape is very good.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54For me, it's one of my first loves, wood, mahogany,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56British cabinet-making.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00You passed the responsibility of the tiles to me,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03so I'm passing the responsibility of this to you.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06If we can get it for 30 quid, it would be...
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- I would be happier if it was 30. - I'd be happy at that.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- I can do 45.- 45.
0:19:11 > 0:19:17- 40? Go on.- I can do 40.- 40 quid, are we going to have it for 40 quid?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Yes, shake his hand.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - Appreciated. Brilliant, lovely.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28So, living life on a knife edge, the Reds acquired their second item.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Well done, girls. It's now two-all.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Right, we've got 15 minutes, 15 minutes, you!
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Get moving!- Run, Amy, run!
0:19:37 > 0:19:38So, we've got one more item to find, guys.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42We haven't spent very much money, so let's find something a bit neater.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Time is ticking, I can't believe how hard this is.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47I'm going to start piling the pressure on in a minute.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48OK, come on, then.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- OK, let's focus in.- Focus, yeah.- OK.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Yes, focus, teams!
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Look at you two!- Oh, look! - Aren't they gorgeous?
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Oh, my God!- Oh! - We're having a party!
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Now, come on, teams, that third item is out there somewhere.
0:20:07 > 0:20:1212 minutes, fellas, 12 minutes! Right, where are we going to go?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Don't panic, don't panic!
0:20:14 > 0:20:18But the Blues have just remembered something they spotted earlier.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22It was really nice quality. Do you want to run back and have a chat?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- I think so, yeah.- Yes?- I think so.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Go for it.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30Panic really is starting to set in. Come on, Blues, get those knees up!
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- Seven minutes.- Oh, no! Oh, no! - OK, seven minutes.- Right.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- OK, do we still like it? - I do like it, yeah.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- You said you wanted something shiny, didn't you?- Something quirky.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49And it's lovely quality. What is your absolute best, sir?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- 80 has got to be the best. - Come on.- I can't go any lower.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- I think we should go for it.- Yeah?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I think at auction, it is the top end,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59but it is a lovely quality thing.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01You've got the name on it, you've got the makers
0:21:01 > 0:21:05and the retailers, it's in great condition, it has got a chance.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Let's go for it.- Yeah. - Thank you very much.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Thank you.- Lovely. Thanks.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10And with that, the Blues make
0:21:10 > 0:21:14their third and final purchase. Congratulations!
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Well, some might call it a cricket table,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20only because it has got a cricket scene... Oh, dear!
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Oh, Lordy.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Right, that just needs a little bit of restoration...- Really?
0:21:24 > 0:21:28But with only a few minutes left, the Reds are still hunting.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31You two are not leaving until you have bought something.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- OK, OK.- What if we don't like it?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36I don't care, you've got three minutes and 35 seconds.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- You have no choice! Stop being distracting!- Sorry.- Mini axe?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42We might need that!
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Three minutes.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45I don't want this.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- There is a Deco clock. - What's in that cabinet?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It is a smoker's cabinet. Edwardian.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53So, that is mahogany with some satinwood banding,
0:21:53 > 0:21:57that's quite nice. There is your mixing pot.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00What's the best on the tobacco cabinet?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- 75?- 75, could be 60.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- I quite like it.- I quite like it as well, I think you could get it.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07What do you think?
0:22:07 > 0:22:12OK, so, it's mahogany, and look, the side linings of the drawers
0:22:12 > 0:22:15are also mahogany, that's a good sign of quality.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- There is the original lock, missing its pipes...- How old?
0:22:18 > 0:22:23- Edwardian, 1910, so it is a Georgian revival peace.- I really like that.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- Do you like it? We've got 30 seconds. Take your time!- I love it.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32- We'll buy it, we'll buy it!- We both love it.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37You two have been a complete and utter nightmare.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40At last, Reds, congratulations!
0:22:40 > 0:22:43There has been an awful lot of flying around on today's show.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Gosh!- I feel I might faint.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48CLOCKS TICK
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Stop bugging me, will you? Ha-ha!
0:22:50 > 0:22:5160 minutes are up,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54let's buzz off and check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:22:57 > 0:23:02A set of 12 Art-Nouveau tiles set them back £120.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08They forked out £40 for a George III mahogany cutlery box.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16And finally, a mahogany smoker's cabinet was bought for £60.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22- Amy, Dawn...- Hello.- How was it? - It was fantastic.- Was it?
0:23:22 > 0:23:23But nerve-racking!
0:23:23 > 0:23:27- Yes. And only an hour, right? - Oh, my goodness!- Just ridiculous.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Completely underestimated the... - Amy, how much did you spend?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- We spent £220.- £220, lovely number.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Who has got the £80 of leftover lolly? You do?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Thank you very much, that's very kind of you.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Now, which is your favourite piece, Amy?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Going to have to go with my tiles. - The tiles.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Do you agree with that, Dawn? - No, I think the cabinet is better.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Which piece will bring the biggest profit, Dawn?- The cabinet.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53The Dawn patrol says the cabinet! Do you agree with that, Amy?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- It's going to have to be the tiles again.- Well, OK!
0:23:55 > 0:23:58It's still about those tiles.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Controversial!- Right, you had a good shop up, David. There is £80.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05Absolutely, and right to the wire, Tim. To the wire, wasn't it?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- To the second, every second. - Good luck with your spend, David.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought?
0:24:12 > 0:24:17They took off with a Douglas DC-3 aircraft cigarette lighter, for £25.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23£12 was sculpted from their budget to buy the piece of Murano glass.
0:24:25 > 0:24:31And they spent £80 on the last item, a JC Vickery circular silver box.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Now, Steve, Craig, how did you get on with Kate Bliss, all right?
0:24:35 > 0:24:39- Spot-on.- Very good, very professional.- She certainly is.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42What she doesn't know is nobody's business, right?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- And very blonde as well.- And very blonde!- A bit like my eyebrows.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47HE CACKLES
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Well, that's one way of putting it, I suppose!
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I bet you put in better double glazing than she does, right?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I've not seen her double glazing yet, but I'm pretty confident.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Now, tell me, how much did you spend, Steve?- £117.
0:24:59 > 0:25:05£117, I would like £183, please, of leftover lolly.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Craig, thank you very much, £183.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Now, Craig, which is your favourite piece?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12My favourite piece has got to be the silver round box.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- OK, do you agree with that, Steve? - I'm OK with that one, yeah.- Lovely.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18And which bit will bring the biggest profit, Stevie?
0:25:18 > 0:25:20I'm going again for my little Murano sculpture.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- And do you agree with that, Craig?- Er... No.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26What do you think will bring the biggest amount?
0:25:26 > 0:25:29I think the aeroplane, the lighter with the aeroplane.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31The lighter with the aeroplane on it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Well, those are our predictions, lovely.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35The next thing that's going to be difficult to predict is
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- exactly what Kate is going to buy. - Yes. Wouldn't you like to know!
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Be gentle.- I can tell you one thing.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44It won't be Murano glass!
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- HE LAUGHS - Well, thank you for that.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Anyway, good luck, chaps, have a nice cup of tea, and good luck, Kate.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Now it's time to catch up with our auctioneer.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01How lovely is this, to be at Richard Winterton's Lichfield saleroom,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03with Richard Winterton himself?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05And what a mixture of objects we've got. How exciting!
0:26:05 > 0:26:09We've got 12 Art-Nouveau tiles in this frame, which is
0:26:09 > 0:26:11pretty hot, isn't it?
0:26:11 > 0:26:16- Mm, OK.- What do you mean, OK? - What would you do with it?
0:26:16 > 0:26:20I think the thing is, because they are so stylish, in that German,
0:26:20 > 0:26:24late Art Nouveau way, I think that's the whole point of it, isn't it?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28It's all happening there in a kind of sick, pea-green colour,
0:26:28 > 0:26:34which would be uber popular in Germany in 1900.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- You're really trying to sell it to me!- Yeah, I really am, Rich.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Because for me, that is a very stylish object,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41you could put it as a hotplate or something...
0:26:41 > 0:26:46To me, I think it would be better having them loose, you could do what you like with them.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48We see loads at the back of a washstand.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Do you know, I've got a funny feeling that you no likey!
0:26:51 > 0:26:55No, everything's got a price, it depends what they're going to pay for it, but we've put £40-£50,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58because that's what you could pick up on the back of a washstand,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00and you've got a nice washstand to go with it.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- £120, they paid.- To me, that is a lot of money for that.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05You may well be right, actually.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07On the other hand, the thrill of the auction is,
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- you just can't tell what's going to happen.- You don't.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Moving on, though, to what is the most traditional and kind of
0:27:14 > 0:27:20ordinary, in some ways, piece of 18th-century dining room kit.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- Our cutlery box.- I like things like this. Look at the shape of it.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28And I know it's distressed, but people do like buying
0:27:28 > 0:27:31it like that, in that condition, they can do what they like with it.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34It's a nice thing. For £50-£80, that is a good buy for somebody.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Brave man. £40 paid.- That's OK. - Isn't it good?
0:27:37 > 0:27:40If you achieve the estimate, they will all be jumping up and down.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42No, you will be jumping.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45And lastly, we've got the Edwardian-looking piece of kit,
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- a smoker's compendium. - It doesn't do a lot for me.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52We see a lot of smoker's cabinets coming through.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54It's not of any great quality.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56And I can't see what else you would do with it.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58And at 50 to 80, I might... Are we miles away?
0:27:58 > 0:28:04No, £60, you are spot-on. You can value this kit, I tell you!
0:28:04 > 0:28:07We are just a bit off on the secessionist tiles,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- but the rest of it, we're OK.- We are OK.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12I think you are absolutely spot-on. But if the tiles
0:28:12 > 0:28:15don't do well, in other words, you are right and I'm wrong,
0:28:15 > 0:28:17they're going to need their bonus buy,
0:28:17 > 0:28:19so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Amy, Dawn. Now, Amy, you've been in the wars, darling!
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I have, a little bit, yes!
0:28:25 > 0:28:27What happened, you met a dealer one dark night...?
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- THEY LAUGH - No, seriously, what have you done?
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- I was riding my friend's horse and we had a parting of ways.- Did you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:36You fell off? Oh, dear, how embarrassing!
0:28:36 > 0:28:37It was, a little bit, yes!
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- But David, more to the point, had £80 of your leftover lolly.- OK.- Oh!
0:28:41 > 0:28:46- So... That is a bit underwhelming! - It's not what I expected.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50It is a fascinating thing, this, I've never seen anything like it.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Made by Doulton, incredibly good-quality maker,
0:28:54 > 0:28:57and retailed by Phillips of Oxford Street, London.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01But this is fascinating, the date of 1646,
0:29:01 > 0:29:04obviously this is the period around the time of the Civil War,
0:29:04 > 0:29:09so it is commemorating something from that time in 1896,
0:29:09 > 0:29:13250 years after the event.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- I like it.- How much was it?
0:29:16 > 0:29:21- I paid £50 for it.- Oh, OK.- It's different. It's different, David.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22- Is that good? - DAWN LAUGHS
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- Pretends she doesn't like it. - What did you think it will make?
0:29:25 > 0:29:27It might make £100 - a Doulton collector,
0:29:27 > 0:29:32somewhere in Australia, might be sat right now in his pyjamas,
0:29:32 > 0:29:34ready to bid, that's the exciting bit.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37We have a prediction here that Dave thinks it could make north of £50.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41- I do.- Rather than south of £50. So, you girls think about it,
0:29:41 > 0:29:43you don't have to decide right now.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46But we will find out from our auctioneer of the moment
0:29:46 > 0:29:49what he thinks about Dave's beaker.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Well, isn't that a gorgeous beaker?
0:29:52 > 0:29:55It's got a bit of something going for it, it's not in bad shape, is it?
0:29:55 > 0:29:57But it's the research that people would buy this for,
0:29:57 > 0:30:01because it's got a registration mark on it, they'd find out about Phillips,
0:30:01 > 0:30:03people who like this, that's what they like buying,
0:30:03 > 0:30:06they will go off and do a bit of their own research on it.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08And Doulton were so clever, because if you
0:30:08 > 0:30:11look at the back, there is a seam, that looks like a bit of leather.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- So they tried to make, in stoneware, a leather vessel.- Yup.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17That looks as if it is 17th-century,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20but doing it at the end of the 19th century, and as you say,
0:30:20 > 0:30:22for this commemorative purpose, it's all very clever.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25It is very clever, and I always think they just don't make what they
0:30:25 > 0:30:28should really make for the amount of work that has gone into it.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30How much money do you think it will make?
0:30:30 > 0:30:33We've got £30-£40, and it will probably make just the top
0:30:33 > 0:30:35end of that, which is no money for that, really. It's a nice object.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38£50 paid by David as a bonus buy.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40I think it's a clever thing to find, and as you say,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42with a bit of research, who knows?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45OK, well, that's it for the Reds, thank you, Richard.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49Moving on swiftly to the Blues, we have one of those lovely
0:30:49 > 0:30:53DC-3 Dakota aircraft cigarette lighter jobbies.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- Always popular, always easy to sell. - What is it worth?
0:30:57 > 0:31:02- £20-£30, all day long.- OK, £25 paid, so they paid the right price.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Now, you've got this Murano bit of glass.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10To be really honest, Tim, I think it's an absolute load of nonsense.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Oh, great(!)
0:31:12 > 0:31:15And for some reason, I put £20-£30 on it and for the life of me,
0:31:15 > 0:31:19I don't know why. Because when you look at it, like, here,
0:31:19 > 0:31:22it looks like the end has been cut off, and what would you do with it?
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- It is modernist design, that's what it is.- It's just a twisty bit of...
0:31:25 > 0:31:28It looks like leftover glass where someone has got bored,
0:31:28 > 0:31:31they have twisted it all up and just sold it on.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- OK, well that's nice! Actually, your estimate is £30-£40.- Is it?!
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- Oh, my gosh!- According to the catalogue, you've put £30-£40.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44But do not fret, my old friend, because they only paid £12 for it.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48So if you can get anything more than £12, you are an all-round hero.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Yes, that's about right.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Now, we've got a bit of quality for you.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55The very nice Vickery circular box.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Did that, once upon a time, do you think, come from a dressing case?
0:31:58 > 0:32:02I think you're spot-on, and it is corking quality, it's lovely.
0:32:02 > 0:32:07- So, how much?- We've gone £70-£80, all day long.- OK, £80 paid.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11- That is a good buy. - At a fair!- That is a good buy.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14I frankly can't see much going wrong for that team, but if it does, they
0:32:14 > 0:32:17will use their bonus buy, perhaps, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Now, Steve, Craig, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:32:20 > 0:32:24You spent only £117, you've risked it for a biscuit with Kate,
0:32:24 > 0:32:25with £183.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Now, she's found something that is very appropriate for you chaps,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30and Kate, reveal all.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- Well, we had a lot of fun, chaps, didn't we?- We did, yeah.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36And for two cheeky fellas, I thought,
0:32:36 > 0:32:39what more could you ask for than a pair of lady's bloomers?
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- Oh, my word!- There we go. And I think it's better that way round.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- Right.- So, you've got front bloomers, back bloomers,
0:32:46 > 0:32:49but it is, of course, a Vesta case.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Which, in itself, is very collectable.
0:32:52 > 0:32:57Lift up the lid, that's where you put your matches.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00I would say this is early 20th century in date, Edwardian,
0:33:00 > 0:33:06pre-war, it is brass, as you can see, and on the bottom,
0:33:06 > 0:33:09you've got this little serrated edge, any ideas what that's for?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- It's your striker, is it? - That's your striker.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Certainly, cheeky things are commercial.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17And being a period piece as well, I think
0:33:17 > 0:33:21- that's quite a desirable object. - How much did you pay?- How much?
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- I paid £80.- 80, OK.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27What sort of price range are we looking at in auction?
0:33:27 > 0:33:32This is a very collectable piece, so I think it's got a chance.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- I would probably estimate it, hand on heart, as £60-£80.- OK.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39So, it's the top end, perhaps, of an auction price, but I still think...
0:33:39 > 0:33:42- Possible small profit. - A possible teeny bit.- OK.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46OK, we've gripped that, chaps. You don't decide right now, you decide later.
0:33:46 > 0:33:51But right now, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's little box.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- Right, so, Victorian bloomers...- OK.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57With a hinged top and a serrated bottom.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- That can only mean one thing. - Good old Vesta case.- Strike a light!
0:34:00 > 0:34:04- We see hundreds of them. - Hundreds of them?- Well, loads of those.- Of course.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08- We do, all sorts of different and... - But, it's a novelty, isn't it?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- It is.- And it would amuse
0:34:10 > 0:34:12a gentleman, who had never seen, perhaps,
0:34:12 > 0:34:14ladies' underwear much himself,
0:34:14 > 0:34:17to have his matches in such a thing,
0:34:17 > 0:34:20and he would then offer it to some other old codger and...
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- They would all have a little giggle. - A little nudge-nudge.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25You see quite a few of these?
0:34:25 > 0:34:29- We do. They make £30-£40.- Do they? Oh, dear, £80 paid by Kate Bliss.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33But never mind, perhaps the team won't go with it.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36On the other hand, perhaps they might. We'll find out in a minute.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40- You taking the sale?- Yes. - Aah! We are in safe hands.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- Now, Dawn, Amy, how are you feeling?- Nervous.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52You've hobbled over all right? I tell you, this saleroom is hot!
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Look at all these people in here.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- Now, your 12 tiles, the auctioneer doesn't like them at all.- Oh, no!
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- So, on that basis... - What does he know?
0:35:01 > 0:35:05He has put £40-£50 on them, you paid £120,
0:35:05 > 0:35:09so that is a high-risk strategy. And I just hope he's wrong, frankly.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Anyway, here come the tiles.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15This set of 12 Art-Nouveau tiles, where are we going to start?
0:35:15 > 0:35:20£20 I'm bid. £20, 25. £30, 35, £40.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22£50, 50. £50 down here.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26At £50 I'm bid, at £50 I'm bid, on my left at £50,
0:35:26 > 0:35:29on my left at £50, internet, you're out, back of the room,
0:35:29 > 0:35:33you're out, sold, then, at £50.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38- Who liked those tiles?!- £50, minus £70. Now, the flatware box.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40This is gorgeous.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43The George III mahogany flatware box there,
0:35:43 > 0:35:45£20 I'm bid. £20 I'm bid.
0:35:45 > 0:35:5225, 30, 35, 40. 45, 45, the lady at 45. 45 at the back.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55At 45, 45, 45.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56You're in profit.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Lady at the back with 45, £45, all finished?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Sold at £45.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Plus £5.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Good, that means overall, you are minus 65, we are
0:36:07 > 0:36:09going in the right direction. Now, here comes the cabinet.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13With presentation plaque on the top dating 1920,
0:36:13 > 0:36:19- £20 I'm bid, £20 I'm bid. At £20, the smoker's cabinet at £20.- No!
0:36:19 > 0:36:23£25 I'm bid. Internet bid, 25 I'm bid.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27- Internet bid, £30 at the back, £30 in the room.- Come on, come on!
0:36:27 > 0:36:32£30 I'm bid, back of the room, sold at £30.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- £30 is cheap! - The sound of pain there.- Minus £30.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39- Overall, you are minus £95, girls. - Oh, my gosh.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- It wasn't supposed to be like this, I know.- It wasn't.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45That is seriously rough, but you're big girls, you can take it.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- I can, on the chin!- On the chin.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50So, what are we going to do with the bonus buy,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- are you going to go with the Doulton beaker?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Absolutely.- You've got nothing else to do, really!
0:36:55 > 0:36:57What's the worst that could happen?
0:36:57 > 0:37:00OK, we are going with the beaker, we believe in Dave's beaker,

0:38:04 > 0:38:07it's likely to be an equal bloodbath for the Blues.

0:41:20 > 0:41:23- Yeah, very good day. - We had a great time.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26What I find extraordinary on this programme is sometimes,
0:41:26 > 0:41:29the chasm that can open up between two teams,
0:41:29 > 0:41:32two teams who shopped with the same amount of money in the same
0:41:32 > 0:41:34place and sold in the same place,
0:41:34 > 0:41:38how can there be such a difference in their performance?
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Anyway, without giving anything away,
0:41:40 > 0:41:43the runners-up by a good old chasm today are the Reds.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46- Oh, no! - I felt that one coming, didn't you?
0:41:46 > 0:41:51Minus £100 is the overall number.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- There wasn't much in the way of hope on the horizon, was there?- No.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- The gods weren't with you. - They weren't.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59- But anyway, you had a good time? - Lovely.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01We've loved having you on the show.
0:42:01 > 0:42:06But we are going to be giving folding money to the Blues today.

0:42:25 > 0:42:29- Here we go. There's your golden gavel.- Thank you very much.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33- Steve, Craig, there you go, boys. - Back of the net!
0:42:33 > 0:42:35- And Kate, for your collection. - Thank you very much.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Something to pop on the dressing table at home.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Isn't that marvellous? Anyway, have you had a nice time?
0:42:40 > 0:42:44- Absolutely brilliant, thank you. - And it is a triumph, isn't it? An absolute triumph.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Anyway, it's been great to see you, we're going to have a little
0:42:47 > 0:42:50kick now, but for a change, we are kicking up our left leg.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53We've not done this since about 1948.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56So, gird up your loins and get ready for the left kick.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00So, join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:43:00 > 0:43:01- ALL:- Yes!- Oh, I like it!
