Today we're in the village of Hemswell,

0:00:050:00:07

in the county of Lincolnshire.

0:00:070:00:09

A county famed for its pork-related products.

0:00:090:00:13

Let's hope that there are no weak links in today's programme.

0:00:130:00:18

Huh! Who writes this stuff? Let's go bargain hunting. Yeah!

0:00:180:00:23

These antiques centres are crammed full of goodies for our teams.

0:00:470:00:51

And therefore, they should be like pigs in...

0:00:510:00:55

Slurry. Right now thought, let's take a squint at what they root out.

0:00:550:00:59

On today's show, the Reds know who's boss.

0:01:020:01:05

Them!

0:01:050:01:06

Sometimes I do feel completely superfluous to the situation.

0:01:060:01:10

Well, that's true. As long as you know your place.

0:01:100:01:13

As long as you know your place.

0:01:130:01:14

THEY LAUGH

0:01:140:01:16

Whilst the Blues have one thing on their minds.

0:01:170:01:20

-What's Black Forest? I'll test you.

-Gateaux.

-Gateaux?

-Yeah.

0:01:200:01:24

THEY LAUGH

0:01:240:01:26

No, you're right. It is.

0:01:260:01:27

Before that, let's all get acquainted.

0:01:270:01:30

Well, on today's show we're keeping it in the family,

0:01:310:01:34

because for the Reds we have sisters Pat and Barbara.

0:01:340:01:38

And for the Blues we have mother and daughter combo from heaven,

0:01:380:01:41

-Jo and Anne. Hello everyone.

-ALL: Hello.

0:01:410:01:44

Very nice to see you. Now, Pat, you are passionate about gardening.

0:01:440:01:47

I love it. My hobby.

0:01:470:01:49

So you're a bit of a country girl then?

0:01:490:01:51

-Yes, I love the countryside. Yes.

-And have you lived there all your life?

0:01:510:01:55

No, I was in a town until about 20 years ago.

0:01:550:01:59

-Dear old Luton.

-So, you moved away from Luton.

-We did.

0:01:590:02:02

-And you came up here to God's country.

-We did indeed.

0:02:020:02:04

-It's beautiful.

-What was your incentive to come here?

0:02:040:02:07

We wanted to get out of the rat race, basically.

0:02:070:02:09

Yes, so what was your plan?

0:02:090:02:11

We did up a derelict cottage. That was our plan.

0:02:110:02:14

We were going to keep ourselves by doing up derelict places...

0:02:140:02:16

-Moving from one to the other?

-Yes. Then my husband said,

0:02:160:02:19

"I'm too old now. I'm getting a brand-new place."

0:02:190:02:21

So that's what we live in now.

0:02:210:02:22

A brand-new place with a pocket handkerchief of a garden.

0:02:220:02:25

-Which you cultivate.

-Which I cultivate.

-Very good.

0:02:250:02:28

-Now, Barbara, you were in fashion, right?

-Yes.

-Was this catwalk stuff?

0:02:280:02:32

-Yes. Only for charity, you know.

-Yes.

-Nothing professional.

0:02:320:02:35

And I said, "I like all of these clothes. Can I get a job?"

0:02:350:02:38

She said, "Yes, of course you can." So she gave me a job.

0:02:380:02:41

I never brought any wages home cos I used to buy clothes all the time.

0:02:410:02:45

That's the trouble, isn't it, too much temptation.

0:02:450:02:47

-It's terrible.

-You are pretty handy around the house.

0:02:470:02:49

I used to be very handy.

0:02:490:02:51

My husband often used to open the door and think,

0:02:510:02:53

"This is not my house," and go back out because I'd decorated

0:02:530:02:56

-the hall or something.

-Oh, really?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:02:560:02:59

-You can put your own shelves up and all that?

-Yes, I do.

0:02:590:03:01

-That's very handy, isn't?

-Wonderful with a drill.

-Wonderful with a drill.

0:03:010:03:05

So you are going to get on pretty well today, you two, are you?

0:03:050:03:08

We think so. She bosses me around but I just let her.

0:03:080:03:11

As long as she does as she is told.

0:03:110:03:12

But that's the whole sisterly thing though, isn't it?

0:03:120:03:15

It is. I respect my sister's age.

0:03:150:03:16

HE LAUGHS

0:03:160:03:18

That is a double-edged complement, I would say.

0:03:180:03:21

-Anyway, good luck when it comes to your shopping.

-BOTH: Thank you.

0:03:210:03:23

Lovely to have you on the show.

0:03:230:03:25

Now, Jo, you have an active work-life, tell us about that.

0:03:250:03:28

I do, yeah. I'm a lifeguard and yoga instructor.

0:03:280:03:31

Tell us about the yoga. You know how to do the lotus position?

0:03:310:03:34

Yeah, yeah, I'm quite comfortable in the lotus.

0:03:340:03:36

But I was quite lucky because I've done yoga ever since I was a child.

0:03:360:03:40

My dad has always been into yoga.

0:03:400:03:42

-We used to just do it for fun, really.

-Yes, exactly.

0:03:420:03:44

But your interest in the East doesn't stop with the yoga, does it?

0:03:440:03:47

-No, I do a Japanese martial art as well.

-Do you?

0:03:470:03:49

Yeah. Aikido. I do Aikido.

0:03:490:03:51

Don't tangle with this one. Tell us about Aikido.

0:03:510:03:54

It's all about balance, you know.

0:03:540:03:56

Are you going to give us one of your moves?

0:03:560:03:58

One of your moves, yeah. Well...

0:03:580:04:00

Not your attack mode but one of the relaxation moves.

0:04:000:04:04

-The first move of Aikido is going like that.

-Is it?

0:04:040:04:06

And then like that. Getting your sword out.

0:04:060:04:08

But also, if someone was going to attack you

0:04:080:04:10

and you go like that, you are not in the place any more.

0:04:100:04:13

You remove yourself from the situation.

0:04:130:04:14

There's a lot of harmony. It's like self-defence.

0:04:140:04:17

It's self-defence, it's not an attacking art.

0:04:170:04:20

-No, no. Quite. That's nice to know, isn't it?

-Yes.

0:04:200:04:23

Now, this sportiness springs from you, Anne, doesn't it?

0:04:230:04:26

-It does, yeah. It's in the blood.

-THEY LAUGH

0:04:260:04:29

-What do you get up to?

-I'm a swimming teacher.

0:04:290:04:32

-Do you take little ones, do you?

-Right from two to 81 years old.

0:04:320:04:36

-Do you really?

-That the oldest lady I had.

0:04:360:04:39

When you're not splashing about, you like a bit of writing.

0:04:390:04:41

-I do, yes.

-Tell us what you get up to.

0:04:410:04:43

The latest book is going to be a psychological thriller.

0:04:430:04:46

A bit of hypnotism as well. Which I may try when we go buying as well.

0:04:460:04:51

-Really?

-Look into my eyes.

-What, make the dealer...?

0:04:510:04:54

THEY LAUGH

0:04:540:04:56

You've got all the tips there, haven't you?

0:04:560:04:58

Have you got any tactics between you?

0:04:580:05:00

Apart from hypnotising the dealers?

0:05:000:05:02

Jo is going to follow you because

0:05:020:05:04

you always find something really good.

0:05:040:05:06

-Oh, yes.

-You've got a good eye. Lurking round the corner.

0:05:060:05:09

Seeing what you're looking at.

0:05:090:05:11

OK. Fine. I'll look behind me as I go round too.

0:05:110:05:14

-Anyway, very good luck.

-Thank you.

0:05:140:05:16

Now, the money moment. Here we go. 300 smackers each.

0:05:160:05:19

You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!

0:05:190:05:22

Very, very good luck!

0:05:220:05:24

My favourite stroke was the breaststroke.

0:05:240:05:26

Oh, yes. But that's our teams.

0:05:260:05:29

Who do we have to help them out?

0:05:290:05:32

Looking after the Reds today, it's Phil Serrell.

0:05:320:05:35

And hoping to drive a hard bargain for the Blues, it's Charles Hanson.

0:05:380:05:42

I kid you not, we are

0:05:440:05:46

at one of the biggest antiques centres in the world.

0:05:460:05:50

-Have we got a plan?

-Yes, we have indeed.

-Which is what?

0:05:500:05:53

-Spend as much as we possibly can.

-Oh, really?

0:05:530:05:56

Well, we are going to try to buy cheap and make loads of money.

0:05:560:05:59

What are you going to spend, spend, spend on?

0:05:590:06:01

I like a bit of pottery or a nice bit of glass. Something like that.

0:06:010:06:04

Get some nice things. Sell big.

0:06:040:06:06

-THEY LAUGH

-Let's go.

0:06:060:06:08

-Just one request.

-What's that?

-Leave me something.

-Leave you something?

0:06:080:06:12

-A penny!

-We'll try.

0:06:120:06:13

The teams clearly know what they are going to do with their shop,

0:06:130:06:17

which starts now.

0:06:170:06:19

Straight out of the traps, the Reds are as keen as mustard.

0:06:210:06:25

Right, you guide us as to where we've to go first.

0:06:250:06:28

Listen, I know my place in life.

0:06:280:06:30

Good. He's a man who knows his place in life.

0:06:300:06:33

I think I might have real problems here.

0:06:330:06:35

-Those are nice.

-Are they? She's good this girl, isn't she?

0:06:350:06:38

-Yes.

-Set of salts. Silver.

-They are in the case as well.

0:06:380:06:41

-They are indeed.

-How much are they?

-£98.

0:06:410:06:43

They are priced at £98 and they are going to make, I would think,

0:06:430:06:47

somewhere between 50 and £60.

0:06:470:06:51

-Oh, really?

-Yes.

0:06:510:06:52

-We have only just started.

-Yes, we have.

0:06:520:06:54

Let's have a look around and they are still going to be here...

0:06:540:06:57

-Yeah, they are.

-Which we shall we go, that way?

0:06:570:06:59

-That way.

-Yep. Right, onwards.

0:06:590:07:01

The Blues are also quick to the boil as they find something that's

0:07:020:07:06

just their cup of tea.

0:07:060:07:07

-Have a good look.

-I like the colours of that plate down there.

-Which one?

0:07:070:07:11

-The cup, saucer and little plate.

-It's not a bad price either.

0:07:110:07:14

I know, that's why I was drawn to it.

0:07:140:07:17

-She's cheap.

-I am, yeah.

0:07:170:07:18

It's a really wacky design.

0:07:180:07:20

But that reflects the Foley Factory,

0:07:200:07:23

which was a Staffordshire factory working in around 1920, 1930.

0:07:230:07:28

And that's its period.

0:07:280:07:29

To buy that on its own it's priced at £18.

0:07:290:07:31

What is it worth in a saleroom?

0:07:310:07:33

It's probably worth between 15 and £25. It could make 30.

0:07:330:07:38

It could be a steady, secure first buy.

0:07:380:07:40

-But then, it's whether you want to go big.

-I want to go big.

-Do you?

0:07:400:07:44

It's all big.

0:07:440:07:46

You know what they say, go big or go home.

0:07:460:07:49

I think that's quite fun.

0:07:520:07:53

-It's a bagatelle game, isn't it?

-Yes.

0:07:550:07:57

Does it fold up? It's a game that folds up.

0:07:570:08:00

Whilst bagatelle is recognised

0:08:000:08:02

as a traditional indoor British pub game,

0:08:020:08:05

its origins lie in the 16th century French high society.

0:08:050:08:08

-How old is it, do you think?

-It's Victorian.

-Victorian?

0:08:080:08:11

This is somewhere between 1830 and 1860.

0:08:110:08:14

-Really?

-And it's made out of mahogany. This is boxwood.

0:08:140:08:17

And the balls are turned wood as well.

0:08:170:08:19

But what I love about them, let me just go up here...

0:08:190:08:22

-I just love these cups.

-Yeah, they are lovely, aren't they?

0:08:220:08:25

-They are beautiful.

-Yes.

0:08:250:08:28

-Nicely turned, aren't they?

-Yeah.

-But it's priced up at £175.

0:08:280:08:33

Which means you might get it for 150 quid, if you like it.

0:08:330:08:36

-Yes.

-I don't mind it.

-I quite like it.

-That's a nice bit of inlay.

0:08:360:08:40

It's something to bear in mind, if we can get it for around 150.

0:08:400:08:43

NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE

0:08:470:08:49

He's quite nice, isn't he?

0:08:490:08:51

-It's cool, yeah.

-He's lovely.

-Stick stand. A rare, amusing stick stand.

0:08:510:08:54

Would you put umbrellas as well as sticks in there?

0:08:540:08:57

Yeah, you would.

0:08:570:08:59

-Is he heavy?

-No, he's quite light.

0:08:590:09:00

There we go, look, he wants a big cuddle.

0:09:000:09:03

He wants a big cuddle. Look, put him in between the two.

0:09:030:09:05

-There they are, look at that.

-He's lovely!

0:09:050:09:08

What I like about him, if you see, he's got a small gin flask,

0:09:080:09:12

maybe a whiskey flask,

0:09:120:09:14

in his top pocket. Clearly, he is quite a jovial...

0:09:140:09:16

Yeah, that's why he's got a smile on his face.

0:09:160:09:18

You know what, I love him and I like him. He is well made.

0:09:180:09:22

-The only thing that puts me off is the price.

-How much?

-Have a guess.

0:09:220:09:25

-Ah!

-650.

-Has anybody got a pen?

0:09:270:09:30

Exactly!

0:09:300:09:32

THEY LAUGH

0:09:320:09:33

-Change that six to a one.

-He wants a really big cuddle for 650.

0:09:330:09:37

Let's get real, we can't do that.

0:09:370:09:39

-Say goodbye to him.

-Bye-bye.

0:09:390:09:41

-Wave him goodbye. Come on.

-Bye!

-Bye.

0:09:410:09:45

Oh bless. No wonder he looks like he needs a hug.

0:09:450:09:47

What about this glass, Phil?

0:09:530:09:55

-I like glass, you see.

-I personally don't.

0:09:550:09:58

-Yeah, I do though.

-I know and it's your... That's put me in my place.

0:09:580:10:01

-Yes.

-Yeah.

-Darling.

-Love bud.

0:10:010:10:05

I think you need to buy something.

0:10:050:10:07

You choose whichever piece of glass you want.

0:10:070:10:10

-In my eyes, these things are worth between 20 and £50.

-Are they?

-Yes.

0:10:100:10:15

-Yeah.

-That's what I think.

0:10:150:10:16

What about that pinky bit there? Do you like that?

0:10:160:10:19

Not particularly.

0:10:190:10:21

-38?

-I quite like that. That's nice, look at that.

0:10:210:10:24

You get that then, Barb.

0:10:240:10:26

Let me have a look. Get it by all means.

0:10:260:10:28

There aren't any chips or anything on it.

0:10:310:10:34

-I'm guessing that it's 1960s. But you want to get it for £25-£35.

-OK.

0:10:340:10:40

You go and buy that. I'm going to find

0:10:400:10:43

a darkened room to sit down and just for a minute or two.

0:10:430:10:46

It's not that psychedelic, Phil.

0:10:460:10:48

38. What would be your best price for that?

0:10:520:10:56

-27?

-No, I would only be able to do you 36 on that one.

0:10:560:11:01

-Not 30?

-No, I'm afraid not.

0:11:010:11:04

36 for that then? We will take that then.

0:11:040:11:07

-I quite like it.

-OK. If you like it...

-I like it. 36 then.

0:11:080:11:12

Nice try, girls.

0:11:150:11:17

The dealers aren't budging much on their prices, are they?

0:11:170:11:19

What, on that top shelf, has caught my eye?

0:11:190:11:21

I will see if you've got a Hanson mindset.

0:11:210:11:23

-Candlesticks?

-No.

0:11:230:11:25

-Fur?

-No.

0:11:250:11:26

-Lady?

-No.

0:11:260:11:28

-Yes! That's it!

-That was my first choice, to be fair.

-I quite like it.

0:11:280:11:31

Shall we have a look at that? If the cabinets will open.

0:11:310:11:34

-It does stand out, doesn't it?

-It's lovely!

0:11:340:11:36

Is it quite heavy, first of all?

0:11:360:11:38

Not bad.

0:11:380:11:39

Bronze cigar cutter in the form of a ship's capstan,

0:11:390:11:43

ie - a ship's wheel.

0:11:430:11:44

Look, can you see, as I turn that wheel,

0:11:440:11:47

the mechanism pulls that across

0:11:470:11:49

which would enable you to cut your cigar.

0:11:490:11:52

And OK, smoking ephemera is a bit out of vogue at the moment,

0:11:520:11:56

quite rightly.

0:11:560:11:57

-But I like that.

-Have a feel, Mum. Weigh it in your hand.

0:11:570:12:01

-Is it heavy?

-It is.

0:12:010:12:03

If your captain was to speak to you, I would say, you know,

0:12:030:12:06

let's get it bought. No rough seas ahead.

0:12:060:12:09

I can feel calm waters, steering that through the saleroom.

0:12:090:12:12

-As a cigar cutter, I love it.

-Yes.

0:12:120:12:15

That a lot of puns, Carlos.

0:12:150:12:17

-Yeah.

-Priced at £38.

-A good price.

0:12:170:12:19

In a nice antiques centre like this we tend to get 10% off.

0:12:190:12:23

Why don't you go and ask the lady. Maybe try 35, maybe try 30.

0:12:230:12:26

You never know. Go and ask now, I'll wait here.

0:12:260:12:29

-Good object that.

-Yeah, it's really nice.

0:12:290:12:31

That's a really good object. I see a big profit there.

0:12:310:12:35

Even if you say so yourself, eh, Carlos?

0:12:350:12:37

-Hello.

-Good morning.

-We are interested in this.

-Right.

0:12:390:12:43

We were just wondering if there is any leeway on the price at all?

0:12:430:12:47

There is. We cannot ring a dealer under £100, so his trade is 10%.

0:12:470:12:52

-10%?

-That could be it then, the bottom?

0:12:520:12:55

So the discount is £4. So that would be £34.

0:12:550:12:58

-34.

-Is that the lowest you can go? Not anywhere near 30?

0:12:580:13:04

-That's your lowest.

-34, yeah?

0:13:040:13:06

-What do you think? We will take that, yeah.

-That's lovely.

0:13:060:13:09

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

0:13:090:13:10

Now, the Reds want a closer look at the salts they saw earlier.

0:13:190:13:23

Right, let's have a look and see what we've got.

0:13:230:13:25

-Mappin and Webb.

-That's a good make, isn't it?

0:13:270:13:29

It's a very good make.

0:13:290:13:31

There's a problem with these before we go any farther. What's that?

0:13:310:13:36

Come on, ladies, what's missing?

0:13:360:13:38

Spoons.

0:13:380:13:39

Absolutely. We've got four oval salts,

0:13:390:13:46

-all Mappin and Webb.

-Yes.

0:13:460:13:48

All hallmarked in Birmingham. 1914.

0:13:480:13:52

But in terms of value...

0:13:520:13:54

you are going to be paying £98 for something that I think is

0:13:540:13:58

worth between 40 and £60.

0:13:580:14:00

OK?

0:14:000:14:02

But we have decided that my views are totally irrelevant.

0:14:020:14:06

-Exactly, Phil.

-No, not really. We appreciate what you're saying.

0:14:060:14:10

-I think they are good.

-Do you?

-Yes, I do.

0:14:100:14:12

OK, let's turn the tables then.

0:14:120:14:14

What you think they are going to make auction?

0:14:140:14:16

I wouldn't be surprised if they made the price.

0:14:160:14:19

-Do you?

-Yes, I do. Really.

-Right, OK.

0:14:190:14:21

Because I think they are a bit unusual. A bit different.

0:14:210:14:24

We've got the box. People like these sort of things on a table.

0:14:240:14:27

-My sister likes this sort of stuff, you see.

-So what's the answer?

0:14:270:14:30

-We will buy it.

-We'll buy them.

0:14:300:14:31

Depends on how much that nice young lady wants to give them to me for.

0:14:310:14:35

-Yes.

-As I've said to you, they are £40-£60 worth. All right?

0:14:350:14:38

-Really?

-We will see if we can get a good price on them then.

0:14:380:14:40

-OK.

-Yes?

-Right, you can do this one.

-OK, I'll try. I will try my best.

0:14:400:14:45

Well, Phil, you've made yourself quite clear,

0:14:470:14:50

but I think these girls are determined.

0:14:500:14:52

What is the very best price you could do that for us, please?

0:14:550:14:58

I can do you those for £96.

0:14:580:15:01

-Just £2 off?

-I'm afraid so. Yes.

0:15:010:15:04

-Not 95?

-No, unfortunately not.

0:15:060:15:08

£2 off. That's not even 10%. Still, every dealer is different.

0:15:080:15:13

-I really do. I think it's nice.

-And you like it.

-Yes. OK.

0:15:130:15:17

We will have those then. That will be fine.

0:15:170:15:20

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

0:15:200:15:21

So who will be proved right at the auction? Phil or Pat?

0:15:210:15:26

In the meanwhile, come with me on a trip to Papua New Guinea.

0:15:260:15:30

These things are going to help us on our journey.

0:15:300:15:34

We've got a group of five very rare hair ornaments

0:15:340:15:40

that came from a Sepik tribe up the Sepik River in New Guinea.

0:15:400:15:47

It's a pretty desolate place

0:15:470:15:49

and it wasn't until the 1920s that anthropologists

0:15:490:15:54

set about seriously exploring waterways in New Guinea,

0:15:540:15:59

and became fascinated by the Sepik people.

0:15:590:16:02

One of the indigenous animals

0:16:020:16:05

in Papua New Guinea is something called a cassowary.

0:16:050:16:08

If you know about ostriches and emus, well, it's a

0:16:080:16:11

very similar flightless bird. But it is enormous.

0:16:110:16:16

It can grow to 6ft in height.

0:16:160:16:20

And these bones are removed from the cassowary.

0:16:200:16:24

At the terminal here, we've got some naive carvings and piercings.

0:16:240:16:29

That one is pierced with a hole.

0:16:290:16:31

That one is pierced with almost a comb on the end.

0:16:310:16:36

If you were one of those Sepik people,

0:16:360:16:38

you would wind your hair into a coil and decorate your hair with

0:16:380:16:44

a series of these pins, sticking into it from all angles.

0:16:440:16:49

What I like about this group is, apart from telling

0:16:490:16:53

the story from a tribal perspective of those peoples, is the colour.

0:16:530:16:58

The brown patternation on these bones

0:16:580:17:01

would indicate that these are of considerable age and were

0:17:010:17:05

probably collected in the very early point of discovery on New Guinea.

0:17:050:17:11

For collectors of ethnographic objects these are a delight.

0:17:110:17:17

If you look at this one, it's got a section of something that

0:17:170:17:21

looks suspiciously like human hair tied to one of those bones.

0:17:210:17:27

Look at the gnarled and aged patternation on this top finial.

0:17:270:17:33

What would you be likely to have to pay for a rare

0:17:330:17:36

group of five of these Sepik hair ornaments?

0:17:360:17:41

Well, if they came from a renowned collection, and these did,

0:17:410:17:45

they came from the collection of a man called Maurice Bonnefoy,

0:17:450:17:50

then you could expect to have to pay the top end of £250.

0:17:500:17:55

But that's a good deal less than having to go

0:17:550:17:58

and fund your trip to Papua New Guinea.

0:17:580:18:01

Back to the shops, where the Reds have two items

0:18:030:18:07

and the Blues have just one. Some way to go yet.

0:18:070:18:10

But they are getting plenty of mileage from the same cabinet.

0:18:100:18:13

Look at these.

0:18:130:18:14

These are wonderful. 1907. Where were you in 1907?

0:18:140:18:17

Not even a memory. This is it, yeah.

0:18:170:18:20

-It's a beautiful design.

-Sometimes objects can be too good to be true.

0:18:200:18:24

My concern is, the way the frill sits on this fairly stylised,

0:18:240:18:29

restrained design, and the fact that you have these swags in the

0:18:290:18:33

neoclassical, they don't really go with the actual silver design.

0:18:330:18:36

These probably would have had coloured inserts,

0:18:360:18:40

in green or cranberry. I think we ought to think about them.

0:18:400:18:45

Put them to one side rather than be too keen.

0:18:450:18:48

-Do you agree?

-BOTH: Yeah.

-Come on.

0:18:480:18:50

-I like that.

-Do you like that?

0:18:570:18:59

-That's pretty. What's that?

-That's out of our price range.

0:18:590:19:03

-Is it?

-I can tell you that without even looking at it.

0:19:030:19:05

-Those little drawers are nice.

-They're not worth £185.

0:19:050:19:08

Yes, they are. They're dovetailed.

0:19:080:19:10

She's got all the terminology, hasn't she?

0:19:100:19:12

We'd rather like to buy that.

0:19:120:19:14

-LAUGHING:

-I don't know what I'm doing here.

0:19:140:19:16

-Well, we're teaching you.

-It's a scatter-gun approach this.

0:19:160:19:19

I like that. How much is that? How much is this? I like this.

0:19:190:19:21

I like that over there. How much is this here? Now, let's just chill.

0:19:210:19:25

But if we throw enough at it, we're going to find something.

0:19:250:19:27

Crikey! These Reds are keen to buy everything.

0:19:270:19:30

Remember, you can only buy three items, girls.

0:19:300:19:33

Is Charles about to put him team in the picture?

0:19:330:19:36

Do you know what I think it is, I think it's a photo frame.

0:19:360:19:38

-I thought it was a photo frame, yeah.

-Yeah, of course.

0:19:380:19:40

I think, basically,

0:19:400:19:42

it's the type of object you would have perhaps brought

0:19:420:19:44

over in World War II, from Jerusalem, from that region,

0:19:440:19:48

-because it's olive wood, you see.

-BOTH: Ah!

0:19:480:19:50

But it's quite nice. Like an olive branch?

0:19:500:19:53

Yeah, exactly. Like an olive branch.

0:19:530:19:55

And it's obviously got initials on. Can you see?

0:19:550:19:57

-Yeah, at the top.

-ND.

0:19:570:19:59

So you wonder whether it was made for someone in particular.

0:19:590:20:02

My passion for this whole industry is sentiment, nostalgia.

0:20:020:20:06

And that is history, you know?

0:20:060:20:08

-Yeah, that is.

-Is it talking to you?

0:20:080:20:10

-No.

-No, right. Well, let's move on.

0:20:100:20:11

Well, that puts an end to that then.

0:20:130:20:15

No place for sentiment with these girls, Charles. They want to win.

0:20:150:20:18

A few marks. A bit of a stain, but that polishes out.

0:20:220:20:25

What about the veneer.

0:20:250:20:27

"That'll polish out!"

0:20:270:20:28

-I just love you two. Absolutely right. Let's go...

-With Mr Sheen.

0:20:280:20:33

Other furniture polishes are available.

0:20:330:20:35

What wood is it made out of?

0:20:350:20:36

Useful in a modern house as well,

0:20:360:20:38

because it doesn't take up a lot of room, does it?

0:20:380:20:40

-Yeah.

-Sometimes I do feel completely superfluous to the situation.

0:20:400:20:44

Well, that's true. As long as you know your place, Phil.

0:20:440:20:47

-As long as you know your place.

-I like that.

-That is pretty.

0:20:470:20:50

-It has been through the mill.

-Haven't we all.

0:20:500:20:54

-This has had Botox, tucks and everything.

-Absolutely.

-It's £145.

0:20:540:20:59

Yes. What do you reckon we should buy it for?

0:20:590:21:02

Honestly, I think you need to get it for £100-£120.

0:21:020:21:06

That would be my shot for it.

0:21:060:21:08

Let's just have a quick look around. OK.

0:21:080:21:10

These legs look all right. No damage on them.

0:21:100:21:14

-Yep.

-Yep. I'd have a go at that, girls, I really would.

0:21:140:21:16

We are running out of time

0:21:160:21:18

and I don't think you're going to find anything else.

0:21:180:21:21

I would, I'd have a go at that. I quite like that. Nice bit of timber.

0:21:210:21:24

Take the ticket to the desk and see what they can do for it.

0:21:240:21:28

Do hurry though, girls, nine minutes remaining.

0:21:280:21:31

Still, you have less to be fearful about.

0:21:310:21:34

The Blues still have two items to find.

0:21:340:21:36

That's a big boot.

0:21:360:21:38

My mum collects boots but I've not seen one like that.

0:21:380:21:41

That's good, you know. What is it? You can see the label and

0:21:410:21:44

I can tell you it's a Black Forest match-striker ashtray in boot.

0:21:440:21:50

-This is it.

-What's Black Forest?

-I'll test you.

-Gateaux.

0:21:500:21:53

-Gateaux?

-Yeah.

0:21:530:21:54

THEY LAUGH

0:21:540:21:56

No, you're right. It is. That's a good answer.

0:21:560:21:58

But actually, it refers to a region of Bavaria,

0:21:580:22:01

all the pine forests where so much softwood was carved.

0:22:010:22:05

-I love that.

-That's gorgeous.

-I think we should buy that.

-Do you?

0:22:050:22:08

Take it out of the cabinet.

0:22:080:22:10

-Fantastic.

-There we go.

-What do you think, Charles?

0:22:100:22:13

This is your ashtray. Here, lift that section there...

0:22:130:22:18

-Look at that!

-Ah!

-Fabulous!

-Look at that.

0:22:190:22:22

Clearly you can see your match case, your striker, and your ashtray.

0:22:220:22:27

You can close that up.

0:22:270:22:29

And what I like is the fact that you've got some nice wear on here.

0:22:290:22:33

And you can see where hands have rubbed over the years.

0:22:330:22:37

I would say that probably is 1930s.

0:22:370:22:40

-Really?

-Yeah, I do.

-I didn't think it was that old.

0:22:400:22:43

-1930s-1940s.

-What do you think about the price? 68?

0:22:430:22:49

If this came into my saleroom

0:22:490:22:50

I would guide it probably to fetch between 30 and £50.

0:22:500:22:54

But again, if you're getting the vibe...

0:22:540:22:56

You know, if you got that premeditated thought that it

0:22:560:23:00

might fly, this boot is made for walking, isn't it?

0:23:000:23:03

Hmm?

0:23:030:23:04

You know, take a chance because, do you know what,

0:23:040:23:07

we've got a wholesome five minutes to go.

0:23:070:23:10

-It's a nice big boot.

-We'll go for that then.

-Yes.

0:23:100:23:13

Let's go and buy it. Yeah? Come on, bring that boot with me. Follow me.

0:23:130:23:16

OK.

0:23:160:23:18

OK, you've found your second item. But hurry paying for it.

0:23:180:23:21

And finding your third!

0:23:210:23:24

The Reds are on their third buy.

0:23:240:23:26

The question is, can they get it for Phil's £100-£120 estimate?

0:23:260:23:30

-WOMAN:

-It's on at 145.

0:23:300:23:32

But there is some damage to the table.

0:23:330:23:36

They're just wondering if you could do around £100.

0:23:360:23:39

OK, thank you very much. See you later. Bye.

0:23:390:23:41

He said he will definitely do £100.

0:23:430:23:45

-Really?!

-Excellent!

0:23:450:23:48

-Genius.

-Well done.

-That will please Phil no end that will.

0:23:480:23:51

-That's brilliant, isn't it?

-That's good. We'll definitely take that.

0:23:510:23:54

-Thank you very much. That is lovely.

-Thank you.

0:23:540:23:56

Well done, team.

0:23:570:23:59

Now collect your expert and take a well deserved rest.

0:23:590:24:02

The thing is, guys, we've got four minutes to go.

0:24:020:24:04

-Four minutes?

-Four minutes.

0:24:040:24:06

I think we've almost got to do a two-for-one now and go back and

0:24:060:24:09

find that one other item which can go with this and be our third lot.

0:24:090:24:12

-BOTH: Yeah.

-You know what, let's go for the cup and saucer on the stand.

0:24:120:24:17

-Do you agree?

-Do you think?

0:24:170:24:19

-Yeah.

-Or there was the photo frame as well.

0:24:190:24:22

-I'm more leaning towards the photo frame.

-Yeah.

-No, no.

0:24:220:24:25

-Is that what you prefer?

-Yeah.

-OK. Why don't you get that.

0:24:250:24:28

See you at the counter. And we'll try and pay for the two together.

0:24:280:24:31

-Right.

-OK, let's go.

-OK?

0:24:310:24:33

We've got a minute to go.

0:24:350:24:37

Every step now counts. Quickly, quickly, quickly.

0:24:370:24:40

-Is it in good condition?

-Really good.

0:24:400:24:43

I just had a good look at the back.

0:24:430:24:44

-And you like it?

-Yes. I do.

-Is Mum happy with that?

-Yep.

0:24:440:24:47

-I'm happy with that.

-It's gorgeous. Priced at £45.

0:24:470:24:50

I think it's a good buy as well.

0:24:500:24:52

-I do. I like it.

-I think we'll take the two.

0:24:520:24:55

OK, that's lovely. I can do 10% on both of those for you.

0:24:550:24:59

-That one's £40.

-Yeah.

-And you've got £7 off that one, so 61.

0:24:590:25:03

-That's lovely.

-And that's the very best?

0:25:030:25:05

That's the very best, yeah? Look at me, yeah. That's it. Happy?

0:25:050:25:09

-That's it. We have three items.

-Thank you.

0:25:090:25:11

-Shake her hand.

-Thank you very much.

-Thanks very much.

0:25:110:25:14

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:25:140:25:15

Time's up. Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh?

0:25:180:25:22

They bought the Murano-style glass vase for £36.

0:25:220:25:27

Following this, they shook hands on the boxed silver salts for £96.

0:25:270:25:32

Rounding up their purchases was the oval walnut table

0:25:330:25:37

for £100.

0:25:370:25:38

Well, girls, that was fun, wasn't it?

0:25:390:25:42

-Excellent.

-It was indeed, yeah.

-A whole hour with P Serrell.

-THEY LAUGH

0:25:420:25:45

-Millions would pay millions.

-Who could ask for more?

0:25:450:25:47

-I don't think he knew what hit him.

-THEY LAUGH

0:25:470:25:50

-Anyway, it was good, was it?

-It was fun.

-Which was your favourite piece?

0:25:500:25:53

My favourite piece? The silver salts.

0:25:530:25:55

Silver salts. And the sister?

0:25:550:25:57

Although I bought the vase, I like the table best.

0:25:570:26:00

-OK, that's very nice.

-To be contrary.

0:26:000:26:02

THEY LAUGH

0:26:020:26:04

Does that mean the table will bring the biggest profit?

0:26:040:26:06

-We think so, yes.

-Definitely.

0:26:060:26:08

They always used to be incredibly popular, didn't they, those tables?

0:26:080:26:11

And it's a particularly nicely-made thing. So good luck with that.

0:26:110:26:15

-You spent in total?

-£232.

0:26:150:26:17

232. I'd like 68 please of leftover lolly. Thank you.

0:26:170:26:21

There's 68 of leftover lolly.

0:26:210:26:23

-Which is a tidy sum for Mr Serrell.

-It's not much really.

0:26:230:26:27

We need a nice profit out of that, young man.

0:26:270:26:30

HE GROANS AND THEY LAUGH

0:26:300:26:31

It's time to box clever, and I'm going to spend every penny.

0:26:310:26:34

-I don't blame you. I would too.

-Every penny.

0:26:340:26:36

Just tell us confidentially, Phil, has it been a bit of a nightmare?

0:26:360:26:40

Oh, no, we were completely united in our differences.

0:26:400:26:43

THEY ALL LAUGH

0:26:430:26:44

That is the right answer. Right then, on that happy note,

0:26:440:26:47

let's check out what the Blue Team bought, eh.

0:26:470:26:49

Halfway through their shop,

0:26:490:26:51

they bought the bronze ship wheel cigar cutter.

0:26:510:26:54

A snip at £34.

0:26:540:26:56

Continuing the theme,

0:26:560:26:58

they paid £61 for the boot-shaped match-holder and ashtray.

0:26:580:27:03

And finally, they picked up the pierced olivewood picture

0:27:030:27:07

frame for £40.

0:27:070:27:09

Well, here are two very happy looking girls.

0:27:090:27:11

-You happy, girls?

-BOTH: We are.

0:27:110:27:13

You should be. In unison, mother and daughter combo.

0:27:130:27:16

THEY LAUGH

0:27:160:27:17

So, which is your favourite piece, Jo?

0:27:170:27:20

The nice Italian photo frame. Very unique, very different.

0:27:200:27:23

OK. That's your favourite. Ma, what's your favourite?

0:27:230:27:25

-Mine is the boot. I love it.

-Would you like to own it yourself?

0:27:250:27:28

-I would.

-Well, you can't.

-THEY LAUGH

0:27:280:27:31

So, is it going to bring the biggest profit?

0:27:310:27:33

-It is.

-Yes? Do you agree with that?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:27:330:27:35

-Yeah, you do? Support the mother.

-Yes.

0:27:350:27:37

-That's the best thing. How much did you spend in total?

-135.

0:27:370:27:41

135, that's £165 of leftover lolly.

0:27:410:27:43

-OK.

-She's got the money.

-Great blue nails. That's very nice.

0:27:430:27:46

Colour coordination. Charles...

0:27:460:27:48

-Many thanks.

-What's your plan, Charles Hanson?

0:27:480:27:50

I want to go light and airy.

0:27:500:27:52

Not be too fairy about it, but find something really quite special.

0:27:520:27:55

-Colourful?

-Colourful, alive, Tim.

-Sunny?

-Firing and feeling fantastic.

0:27:550:28:00

-OK. Well, you can't ask for more than that, can you?

-No.

0:28:000:28:03

I mean, I'm already excited. Very good, Charles.

0:28:030:28:06

With the shopping over and experts dispatched, let's enter

0:28:060:28:10

the excitement of the auction, where the auctioneer awaits us.

0:28:100:28:13

We have come due south from Hemswell to the glorious city of Lincoln,

0:28:160:28:20

to Golding Young Mawer, to be with Colin Young.

0:28:200:28:23

-Colin, good morning.

-How are you?

0:28:230:28:25

Very well, and very happy to be in your glamorous sale room.

0:28:250:28:28

-I appreciate that.

-Gosh, this is a nice place.

0:28:280:28:30

OK. Now, the Reds kicked off with this glass vase.

0:28:300:28:33

Do you think it is Murano or is it just a glass vase?

0:28:330:28:36

I think it is just a glass vase, but it is that generic term that

0:28:360:28:39

everybody applies to it, even if it didn't come off the island.

0:28:390:28:43

I think at £25 to £40, as an estimate,

0:28:430:28:45

it really doesn't matter where it comes from. Good decorative lot.

0:28:450:28:48

Get the sunshine going through that and it is going to look glorious.

0:28:480:28:51

OK, fine, you are such an optimist. £36 was paid.

0:28:510:28:54

Next, though, are the salts - case set, with the liners, ready to go.

0:28:540:28:59

But does anybody want them?

0:28:590:29:01

That's the problem. I'm sure they would get used, but...

0:29:010:29:04

The case adds a little bit of value to it, but it also takes away

0:29:040:29:07

-a little bit in this instance because the spoons are missing.

-Mm.

0:29:070:29:10

Exactly. So, what is it worth as is?

0:29:100:29:13

Well, I suppose it has got to be worth a minimum £50 to £80,

0:29:130:29:16

-that sort of range.

-OK, £96 paid.

0:29:160:29:19

-I will be surprised if there's a profit on that one for them.

-OK.

0:29:190:29:22

Are you going to be surprised by this Sutherland table?

0:29:220:29:25

Fairly common model, but at least it is walnut.

0:29:250:29:28

It is in not too bad condition.

0:29:280:29:30

I suppose it comes down to how much was paid for it, really.

0:29:300:29:33

Well, what I like about these Sutherland tables is

0:29:330:29:36

they take up very little room.

0:29:360:29:37

Yeah, it is a very good lot,

0:29:370:29:39

it is just not a great commercial piece.

0:29:390:29:43

OK, they paid £100, I'll put you out of your agony.

0:29:430:29:45

All right, OK.

0:29:450:29:46

Well, that's pleasing, then, because that is in the centre

0:29:460:29:49

of our estimate that we published - 80 to 120.

0:29:490:29:52

It certainly should be £80 minimum of anybody's money.

0:29:520:29:55

OK, well, fine. On that basis,

0:29:550:29:57

they might just about wiped their face for this lot.

0:29:570:30:00

In which case, they'll need the bonus buy,

0:30:000:30:01

so let's go and have a look at it.

0:30:010:30:04

Now, Pat and Babs, this is exciting, isn't it? £68 you gave to P Serrell.

0:30:040:30:09

Too much, really.

0:30:090:30:11

You can never give Philip Serrell too much. Anyway...

0:30:110:30:14

-So, Phil, show us what you bought.

-Well, I spent every last penny.

0:30:140:30:17

-We thought you would.

-Oh, my God. What is that?

0:30:170:30:21

-Well, I don't know what it is, but...

-That's a good start.

0:30:210:30:24

-But it is clearly a box.

-Right.

0:30:240:30:26

There's been suggestions it might be for cigars,

0:30:260:30:28

which I don't think, because it's not airtight.

0:30:280:30:30

But I think it is sort of '20s, '30s.

0:30:300:30:32

And it is really, really decorative.

0:30:320:30:34

-And I can see that in a London shop at 350 quid.

-Really?

0:30:340:30:37

But the only similarity between London and Lincoln

0:30:370:30:40

-is they both begin with L.

-Yes.

0:30:400:30:42

But hang on a minute, Phil, cos this is no rubbish, is it?

0:30:420:30:45

That is sculpted out of wood and then applied on the top.

0:30:450:30:48

And then lacquered look. But he is so sweet with his skis, look.

0:30:480:30:53

-Oh, yeah.

-Well, I can tell you, it cost £68.

0:30:530:30:56

It wouldn't surprise me

0:30:560:30:58

if it made 30 quid and it wouldn't surprise me if it made 150.

0:30:580:31:00

-Yeah.

-OK, fine.

0:31:000:31:02

I've seen the odd box or two,

0:31:020:31:03

and I think that one is just a bit special.

0:31:030:31:06

-Yeah, it is a bit unusual.

-OK, lovely. Well, we all love it.

0:31:060:31:10

-Yes, we do.

-Nobody really knows what it's worth, right?

0:31:100:31:12

But it is there for you to speculate on if you decide that you want it.

0:31:120:31:15

But right now, for the audience at home, let's find out

0:31:150:31:18

whether the auctioneer can put a price on it.

0:31:180:31:21

Well, Colin, I don't know if you are an alpine man or not, but

0:31:210:31:24

if you are, that is a peach of a box, isn't it?

0:31:240:31:26

It is cracking, isn't it? I think that's a great looking thing.

0:31:260:31:29

Nice combination of materials on there. It is just a fun item.

0:31:290:31:32

And I must admit, I haven't come across anything like this before.

0:31:320:31:35

No. And if we open it up... Because that interior is nicely veneered.

0:31:350:31:40

And I guess it dates from the '20s or '30s.

0:31:400:31:42

Yeah, that's where I was going to be with it.

0:31:420:31:44

-No comparable, so total guesswork on estimate.

-Mm.

-Um... £50 to £80.

0:31:440:31:50

If that made £100, £120,

0:31:500:31:53

you'd just shrug your shoulders and say, "Well, it was worth it."

0:31:530:31:56

Exactly. I've never seen one before.

0:31:560:31:58

And I think it is delightful.

0:31:580:32:00

£68 was paid by Philip Serrell.

0:32:000:32:02

Now, moving on to the Blues.

0:32:020:32:04

We have for the first item, this little cigar cutter, binnacle thing.

0:32:040:32:10

Nice patination.

0:32:100:32:11

The condition seems to be good throughout,

0:32:110:32:13

apart from just a little missing piece off the bottom,

0:32:130:32:17

just a cover, but that is fairly easy to replace.

0:32:170:32:19

-I think it is a sweet little lot.

-How much?

-£25 to £40.

0:32:190:32:23

£34 paid, so that's OK. They're pretty well on the money.

0:32:230:32:26

You know, it's just smoking accessories, isn't it?

0:32:260:32:29

Slightly like their next lot, which is for holding maybe spills

0:32:290:32:34

and matches, in the form of an old boot.

0:32:340:32:37

Beautifully carved, but is it what people want, Colin?

0:32:370:32:40

I don't know whether it's what people want,

0:32:400:32:42

but you look at it, and you look at it twice,

0:32:420:32:44

and you do wonder whether it actually is a boot.

0:32:440:32:47

And then you look at it a bit closer and realise, yes,

0:32:470:32:49

it's Black Forest, it's late 19th century.

0:32:490:32:51

I think it's a great little thing.

0:32:510:32:52

-How great you think it is?

-I think it is just as great as the last one.

0:32:520:32:56

Do you? That would be £25 to £40 worth, then.

0:32:560:32:59

-Snip at the price as well.

-Well, it is not going to ignite at that,

0:32:590:33:02

-cos £61 was the price that was paid.

-OK.

0:33:020:33:06

But continuing with their theme of tourist-type wares,

0:33:060:33:10

-we've got this Sorrento ware photo frame.

-Yep.

0:33:100:33:14

-Which is very elaborate.

-Yeah. Mass production pieces.

0:33:140:33:17

-But obviously very popular and what the tourists wanted.

-Exactly.

0:33:170:33:21

What is your estimate?

0:33:210:33:22

-Well, I rate it a little bit better than the other two items.

-Do you?

0:33:220:33:25

-Yeah. I put 30 to 50 on this one.

-Crikey, Moses, don't overdo it!

0:33:250:33:29

£40 is what they paid.

0:33:290:33:32

So that's about right.

0:33:320:33:33

I mean, it just depends on how funky the audience are going to

0:33:330:33:36

be in the auction today. Cos if they are not that funky,

0:33:360:33:39

they're going to need their bonus buy.

0:33:390:33:40

And let's go and have a look at it.

0:33:400:33:43

-Well, girls, this is exciting, isn't it?

-Yes.

0:33:430:33:45

What did Charles Hanson spend the £165 on? Charles.

0:33:450:33:48

I really dug deep. I'll give you that first of all.

0:33:480:33:52

That's a very nice, I suppose, Chinese or Japanese bronze mirror.

0:33:520:33:57

Perhaps 1880, 1900. Beautifully cast.

0:33:570:34:00

-And then you might want to see my nuts.

-I beg your pardon!

0:34:000:34:03

-My walnuts, Tim.

-Oh, yes.

-There we are.

0:34:030:34:06

And these are Chinese-carved walnuts.

0:34:060:34:09

Again, probably late 19th century. And they are a work of art.

0:34:090:34:13

Look at the carving, look at the figurative detail.

0:34:130:34:15

-Very intricate, yeah.

-They are, aren't they?

-Is that all a set?

0:34:150:34:18

I thought the mirror just gives the lot a bit of a freshness.

0:34:180:34:22

-Can I have a look, Charles?

-That is, that is really lovely.

0:34:220:34:25

We've got all these trees and amazing storks winging round.

0:34:250:34:30

And that side is polished, which is the mirror bit.

0:34:300:34:33

So if you just polish that up, all right, and then you can have a look.

0:34:330:34:38

-Fabulous.

-What do you think?

-Mm.

0:34:380:34:39

-OK, fine, so you get the bronze mirror and the two nuts.

-Absolutely.

0:34:390:34:43

-How much?

-How much? Well, that is the all-important question.

0:34:430:34:46

I spent the princely sum of £60 on all three.

0:34:460:34:50

And I feel they have got legs, in the sense, they could race away.

0:34:500:34:55

You never know. this fun Chinese market,

0:34:550:34:58

they could make £200 or £300. Honestly.

0:34:580:35:01

Or they could make 50. But I think it is a gamble well worth taking.

0:35:010:35:05

OK, girls, well, you don't have to decide right now.

0:35:050:35:07

You choose after the sale of your first three items,

0:35:070:35:09

so let's find out from the auctioneer

0:35:090:35:11

whether he thinks that Charles is completely nuts.

0:35:110:35:14

Here we go, then, Colin. Mirror, mirror, on the wall.

0:35:150:35:18

I mean, pretty useless piece of kit, but there we are.

0:35:180:35:20

-Made of bronze, isn't it?

-Yeah. It's a nice thing.

0:35:200:35:23

It just needs a bit of a polish up and, yep.

0:35:230:35:25

Oh, it does work quite well.

0:35:250:35:27

So park that one, Colin, and have one of these walnuts.

0:35:270:35:31

How do you rate that, then?

0:35:310:35:33

-Well, there has been a lot of work going into that.

-Certainly has.

0:35:330:35:36

-Every centimetre is carved, isn't it?

-It is.

-Little monkeys, look.

0:35:360:35:41

How much, do you think? Are they worth ten pounds each?

0:35:410:35:43

-Five pounds each?

-Five to ten, they have got to be that.

0:35:430:35:46

And by the time you add the mirror into it as well,

0:35:460:35:48

-£40 to £60, say?

-OK.

-Something like that.

0:35:480:35:51

Well, Charles paid £60 for all three pieces,

0:35:510:35:55

and I think that is plenty and I don't see it making any money.

0:35:550:35:58

But anyway, there we are. We'll find out in the trueness of time,

0:35:580:36:01

-yes?

-Yes.

-Yes!

0:36:010:36:03

£40, who's going to be first in for the brooch?

0:36:050:36:07

-Pat, Babs, how are you feeling?

-Great.

-Excited.

-Are you?

-Yes.

0:36:130:36:16

How excited are you on the excitement...?

0:36:160:36:19

-Scale of one to 100, about five.

-Are you? That's all right.

0:36:190:36:22

-The temperature will rise, won't it, Babs?

-It will.

-OK, fine.

0:36:220:36:25

Now, we are looking forward to the Murano glass vase, which is

0:36:250:36:28

coming up right now.

0:36:280:36:29

Lot number 94 is a Murano-type glass vase. There we go.

0:36:290:36:33

Who is going to start me at £50 for it? £50, anybody? 50.

0:36:330:36:36

-50. 40 to go, then. £40, anybody?

-Oh, come on, come on.

0:36:360:36:39

Anybody at 30?

0:36:390:36:40

£20, anybody? 20. £20, anybody?

0:36:400:36:42

Over there. £20 bid.

0:36:420:36:43

Two now to us here.

0:36:430:36:45

Go on, go on, more.

0:36:450:36:46

Two anywhere else now, surely? 20, bid. Your bid, then, two.

0:36:460:36:49

22, bid. Five is a last call.

0:36:490:36:51

Uh-oh.

0:36:510:36:53

-At £25, bid.

-Oh, dear!

0:36:530:36:56

Going this time, then, at £25...

0:36:560:36:59

Uh-oh, that's minus.

0:36:590:37:01

Better than we thought, though.

0:37:010:37:02

Now the salts.

0:37:020:37:03

1914 cased set of Mappin & Webb silver salts. There we go.

0:37:330:37:34

0:37:340:37:38

Two lots of minus £11. Minus 22.

This is the choice bit, though.

0:37:420:37:43

The Victorian walnut Sutherland table.

0:37:430:37:45

Good-looking Sutherland table, ought to be well over 100.

0:37:450:37:48

Start me at 80 for it. 80. £80, anybody? 80. 50 will do, then.

0:37:480:37:51

-Come on, 100 at least.

0:38:030:38:06

-Oh.

-£85.

0:38:060:38:11

Minus £15.

0:38:110:38:12

22, 32, is 37. Minus 37.

0:38:120:38:16

-That's not as bad as I thought.

-Not quite, it could be worse, girls.

0:38:160:38:20

So, are we going to trust Phil, then?

0:38:200:38:21

-You're going to go with the bonus buy?

-Yes, we will have to.

0:38:210:38:24

We are going with the bonus buy, we are going with the Deco skiing box.

0:38:240:38:27

Very, very smart. And here it comes.

0:38:270:38:29

0:38:510:38:55

You are out in the room. Selling on the net at £48.

0:38:550:38:58

£48. I could weep.

0:38:580:39:00

That is minus £20,

0:39:000:39:01

which is minus 57.

0:39:010:39:03

-That could be a winning score. Be brave. Walk tall.

-We will.

0:39:030:39:07

And all will be revealed in a moment. Thank you very much.

0:39:070:39:10

-Now, Joan, here we go. Do you know how the Reds got on?

-We don't, no.

0:39:150:39:19

You don't know. We don't want you to.

0:39:190:39:21

First up, then, is the cigar cutter in the form of a binnacle,

0:39:210:39:24

and here it comes.

0:39:240:39:25

Early 20th-century novelty bronze cigar cutter. Start me at 30, then.

0:39:250:39:30

It'll be a snip of the price. £30.

0:39:300:39:31

£30, anyone? 30?

0:39:310:39:34

30, look at what we are selling here. £20, anybody?

0:39:340:39:36

£20, anybody? £20, bid. Two do I see now? 20, bid, two now, surely.

0:39:360:39:40

0:39:470:39:49

Bad luck, girls!

0:39:490:39:50

25 to 35, that's minus nine pounds.

0:39:500:39:53

OK, now the old boot.

0:39:530:39:55

This is the match holder and striker there. What shall we say for this?

0:39:550:39:59

£20, anybody? 20, bid. 22 now. Making it two. Two do I see?

0:39:590:40:03

0:40:070:40:11

-Come on.

-At 32. 35 anywhere else now?

0:40:110:40:13

It is on the net, then, you're all out in the room. Anymore?

0:40:130:40:15

No, selling at £32.

0:40:150:40:18

£32 is...

0:40:180:40:20

£30 would be 62,

0:40:200:40:21

so it is minus £29.

0:40:210:40:24

-We're doing well, we're doing well.

-Uh-oh.

0:40:240:40:26

0:40:260:40:28

There we go. In olive wood, there. £30, anyone? 20 to go, then.

0:40:340:40:37

0:40:370:40:40

Do I see a bid from the room at all?

0:40:400:40:42

No? Nothing in the room.

0:40:420:40:44

Going then at £25, all done. Sold.

0:40:440:40:46

-It is.

-That's minus £15.

0:40:460:40:49

They've got some good bargains there.

0:40:490:40:50

They certainly have, that's...

0:40:500:40:52

29, 30... That's 44...

0:40:520:40:55

53. Minus £53.

0:40:550:40:58

-No, no.

-I'm sorry.

0:40:580:41:00

-What are we going to do about the Chinese items?

-We should go for it.

0:41:000:41:03

-Yes?

-But they're not bidding.

-I know, but I love it.

0:41:030:41:06

-But we've got nothing to lose.

-Good answer.

-We'll go with Charles.

0:41:060:41:09

That's a good attitude, isn't it? Let us see what happens,

0:41:090:41:11

cos here it comes.

0:41:110:41:12

Two walnuts that have been highly decoratively carved

0:41:120:41:16

and you also get a 19th-century Chinese bronze hand mirror as well.

0:41:160:41:21

£50, anybody? 50.

0:41:210:41:22

£50. 30 to go, then. £30, anybody? Who'll give 30?

0:41:220:41:26

30, in the room or on the net, don't mind which. 30 on the net.

0:41:260:41:29

-At 30 bid. 32 now, surely. At 32 bid. 35.

-Keep going.

0:41:290:41:33

35. 38. Bid 40 now. At 42. Bid's in the room at £42.

0:41:330:41:39

There's also 45. 48, madam, thank you. 48 bid.

0:41:390:41:42

-50 now. At £48, are we all done?

-Come on, Internet.

0:41:420:41:46

-£50 bid.

-One more, one more!

-No? Selling, then, at £50...

0:41:460:41:51

That's it.

0:41:510:41:52

-No, no.

-Minus ten pounds, 53, minus 63.

0:41:520:41:56

Anyway, girls, minus £62 could be a winning score.

0:41:560:41:59

Say not a word to the Reds and all will be revealed in a moment.

0:41:590:42:02

-Excellent.

-Thank you very much.

0:42:020:42:04

Well, teams, here we stand, broken hearted but not defeated, yes?

0:42:090:42:13

Because none of you made a profit on any item at all.

0:42:130:42:18

Not one single item in today's programme made anything.

0:42:180:42:21

But who's ahead and who's behind?

0:42:210:42:23

Despite the massive losses on both sides,

0:42:230:42:27

there is only £6 between you.

0:42:270:42:29

ALL: Oh!

0:42:290:42:31

And the team that is marginally behind the behind are the Blues.

0:42:310:42:36

Blues: Oh!

0:42:360:42:38

Well done, ladies, well done.

0:42:380:42:40

But there is a sheet of Bronco in there,

0:42:400:42:42

so there's no shame in this result at all.

0:42:420:42:46

I'm not going to dwell on the prices, there's no point in dwelling

0:42:460:42:49

on the prices, I just want to ask you two, did you have a good time?

0:42:490:42:52

Fabulous, lovely.

0:42:520:42:53

Well, you've been thoroughly supporting.

0:42:530:42:55

The victors today, who managed to win by losing £57.

0:42:550:42:59

-REDS: Yeah!

-Are the sisters from heaven.

0:42:590:43:02

Anyway, it's been great, yes?

0:43:030:43:05

-Yes.

-You enjoyed it? Thanks very much, Phil.

0:43:050:43:07

Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes? Yes!
