0:00:02 > 0:00:04Well, this is no music festival,
0:00:04 > 0:00:08although they call this a Festival of Antiques, here at Peterborough.
0:00:08 > 0:00:13I've got no tent, no Wellington boots and there's no music
0:00:13 > 0:00:17so why don't we just go Bargain Hunting?
0:00:17 > 0:00:18Yeah.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Now, did you know that Holme Fen,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47six miles south of Peterborough,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50is the lowest point in Britain?
0:00:50 > 0:00:53It's nine feet below sea level.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Now, on Bargain Hunt, we like all sorts of low things.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01We like low cunning, we like lowbrow humour
0:01:01 > 0:01:04and we like low prices.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Let's take a quick squint at what's coming up.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09The Reds are ready for a fight...
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Is it WWF?- WWF? Isn't that the wrestling?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16It's the wrestling, isn't it? What am I trying to say, then?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19..and the Blues have something to carp about.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Maybe we should just try and find you a fish.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22So, let's meet the teams.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29Well, well, well. On the show today, we have two teams of friends.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32For the Reds, we've got Lisa and Karen
0:01:32 > 0:01:33and for the Blues,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36we've got a double dose of Sues - Sue and Sue.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Hello, everyone!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Hello.- Hello.- Hello.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Now, Lisa, tell me, how did you two become friends?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Well, I moved into a village called Oakley, in Bedfordshire.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I was a mere ten years old.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Whilst my parents were doing all the work in the house,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52they said, "Go and make friends."
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Walked up the road and this lady was the first lady I met
0:01:56 > 0:01:58and we have been friends ever since.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Isn't that nice?- It's lovely.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Now, you work as a legal operative with the county council, don't you?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Yes, I do, yes. - Tell us about that work.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Well, that work is child services orientated.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I'm called an allocations officer.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13It's a serious job and it must be quite stressful.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15It is.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17It's quite emotional sometimes,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- but then you get the good times as well so...- Exactly.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23And to compensate for this, you're a bit of an actress.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Does it show? Yes, I am, yes. - So, you do the am-drams, do you?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Yes, I have done since I was ten years old.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31So, I've been in 45 musicals.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Have you?- Yeah. And I'm directing one right now.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Now, Karen, you love a bit of performing too.- I certainly do.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39And what sort of things do you get up to?
0:02:39 > 0:02:43I really started with amateur dramatics, like Lisa.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45We were in the same group for a long, long while
0:02:45 > 0:02:47and then I decided I'd like to have a go at being a pro.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51So, off I went to be a singer in Ibiza
0:02:51 > 0:02:53and I earned my Equity Card.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Yes. Oh, did you?- Yeah, and then I went on from there.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58I'm now back with friends of mine and we do pantos
0:02:58 > 0:03:00and I actually got to play an ugly sister.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Oh, no, you didn't!- Oh, yes, I did!
0:03:03 > 0:03:05THEY LAUGH
0:03:05 > 0:03:09You're not qualified for that. "Oh, yes, I am!" No, what fun.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- Now, do you know anything about antiques?- No.- No. No?
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Only what I've seen on Bargain Hunt. - Oh, well, that'll be fine!
0:03:17 > 0:03:19You'll make millions!
0:03:19 > 0:03:20THEY LAUGH
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- OK, girls. Now, Sue...- Yes.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25..you're going to tell us all about your flies, aren't you?
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Yes, I'm a fly-fisher.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Tell us about fly-fishing, then. Your passion.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Yes, I've been fly-fishing for about, ooh, gosh, 12 years now, I think,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35and got introduced to it by a friend when I had my breast cancer,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- my second lot.- Oh!
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Thought it would be very relaxing for me
0:03:39 > 0:03:42and then from there, I wanted to get into the competitive element of it.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Oh, right.- I wanted to fish for England.- Did you fish for England?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Oh, I did, yes.- Oh, how lovely. - Oh, yeah. That's why I met Sue.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Sue was veteran of the England Ladies Fly-Fishing Team when I joined in 2002.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- So, fly-fishing brought you together?- Yes.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57It led us to set up an organisation called Casting For Recovery.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01It offers women who've had breast cancer or have breast cancer
0:04:01 > 0:04:03free weekend retreats, learn a new skill,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05get together, have counselling.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- In a beautiful place. - In a beautiful place, yeah.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09How wonderful. I'd never heard of that charity.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- So, Sue...- Yeah?- ..water plays a big part in your life,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14apart from the fishing, doesn't it?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18It certainly does, yes. It's actually my job.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I work for a water audit company.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22We analyse water bills for companies -
0:04:22 > 0:04:23large and small companies -
0:04:23 > 0:04:25throughout the UK and Northern Ireland.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Thoroughly enjoy it.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31And prior to that, I was working on a fly-fishing magazine as well for 13 years.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Were you really? - So, very much water-based.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- You're also a whizz in the kitchen. - I love cooking and baking.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Just really, really enjoy it. - What do you like to cook, Sue?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Favourite dish is leg of lamb in redcurrant jelly.- Oh, yes.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- It's superb.- Nice and pink, yes. - It's absolutely lovely.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Well, on that happy note,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I think I better give you £300 as I'm feeling rather hungry.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Anyway, there we go. £300. You know the rules.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56Your experts await and off you go! Very, very, very good luck.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Gosh, what great teams we've got today.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02And our experts aren't too shabby either.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Making sure the Reds don't go overboard is David Harper...
0:05:07 > 0:05:10..whilst the leading light for the Blues is Kate Bliss.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Cor blimey! He's got those trousers on again.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- So, you two have been friends all your lives.- We have, yes.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22I just hope you're going to be friends in one hour's time!
0:05:22 > 0:05:27- Sue and Sue, how excited are you? - I'm very excited.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I can't believe I'm here, actually!
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- So, what are we going to look for? - I like Art Nouveau stuff.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Love it. OK.- I like figurines.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38OK, well, if we find an Art Nouveau figurine,
0:05:38 > 0:05:39that would be absolutely fantastic.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- 20th-century ceramics.- Right. - Glass, collectables.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46There's nothing like being with people who do their homework.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47Come on.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Indoors, we go. Come on. - Oh, lovely.- Oh, come on.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Well, both teams know what they like.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Let's see if they can find it because the shopping starts now.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Straightaway, Kate's earning her stripes.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03The blue is the most common colour for Cornishware.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06You get it in green, you get it in yellow, but they chose blue.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08It's so-called Cornishware, actually.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10It's nothing to do with Cornwall, really,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13but the name comes from the colour - the blue and white -
0:06:13 > 0:06:17which makes you think of blue skies and blue sea.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19But actually, it's not made in Cornwall at all.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22It's by TG Green, which is Staffordshire.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27- So, that's got to be '30s, '50s. - It's kind of OK.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- It doesn't set the lights going. - No, I can see.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Not yet. No, it's not.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33- It's lovely.- Yes.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34I'd love it in my kitchen,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37but whether or not it'd make a fortune, I don't know.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Sounds like we ought to put it back and have a little think.
0:06:40 > 0:06:46Nice try, Kate, but I think these girls are looking for something a bit more up-market.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48The Reds fancied something decorative
0:06:48 > 0:06:50and already, their cup runneth over.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Here we have something that is Art Nouveau.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- So, Karen, have a grab of that. - Looks like it's been hammered.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Hammered as in broken? - No, not as in it's hammered.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03As in, for the Art Nouveau thing
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- cos it's like Arts and Crafts, isn't it?- Exactly.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau. It all sort of rolls into one, doesn't it?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Because it's Art Nouveau in its style,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13with all the floral and kind of organic and...
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Yeah, and the lady holding the wreath, yeah.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Yes, yeah, but it's Arts and Crafts in its manufacturing.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21In other words, it's completely handmade.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Let's have a look. Who's it made by?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Dutch.- '83 Cheapside. Well, that's London, isn't it?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Yeah, it was a London retailer. - Retailer. OK.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31But it might be from Holland.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32- OK, so, it's...- Oh, right.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34So, it's retailed London, made in Holland?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37It's a good looker. So, guess how much it is.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38I'm going to find out.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42You keep on guessing. Hang on.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44While David prices up one vessel,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48it looks like Kate and the Blues have sprung a Lalique.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Of course, Lalique, very well-known for his glass mascots,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55but also bowls, little figures.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Quite like the little boat, to be honest.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Could we have a little look at this ship?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Let's have a look, Sue.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I'm just going to check that out.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Yeah, so, we've got 'Lalique France' in script.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- Actually, it's not particularly well done, well incised.- Right.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- And at £75...- Bit too recent? - Too recent, too pricey
0:08:14 > 0:08:17and if you said it's not been particularly well done either...
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Yeah, I think we could do better than that.- Yes, OK, fine. - We'll pop that back, then.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25What would you pay for it?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Retail - about £80, I think. - OK, yeah.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Auction - I'd probably...
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- I don't know. I'd want to pay about £40 for it at auction.- OK.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Ooh, you're a bit tight, aren't you? - I am tight.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39I was saying £80 as well. I was in absolute agreement with that.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42OK, here's the dilemma for you, then. I've just spoken to the dealer
0:08:42 > 0:08:44and the absolute bottom price is £65.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Take it or leave it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- I want it. - Well, then, we'll go for it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I like it. I like the wanting. Karen, do you want it as well?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- I do want it, yeah, so let's do it. - Lisa, you want it.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- I want it.- 65 quid - will you ever see another one?- No.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- I don't think so.- Well, then, buy it.- That's it. Sorted.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00- Brilliant.- Thank you.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Cheers. Thank you. - Thank you very much.- Well done.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06First purchase and you've bought exactly what you set out to buy -
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Art Nouveau and a figure.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Hello!- A figure.- I know, it's got everything.- Well done.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Two for the price of one. Well done, Reds.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Meanwhile, Kate's found something pretty in pink.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- That's quite sweet.- That's known as a little cabinet cup.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26Beautifully enamelled and wouldn't be made to be used.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- What do you think of that? - I quite like it. I think it's sweet.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Yes, it's quite sweet.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- This is the very early part of the 19th century.- Right.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Teaware - period teaware - is coming back into fashion
0:09:37 > 0:09:41because there is a fashion for throwing some vintage tea parties.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- Right, OK.- But I've just noticed, you've got some damage here.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- Do you see that little...? It's known as a rivet.- Yes.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51And there's a crack across the handle
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- and somebody's done an old repair. - Oh, I see.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I think it's quite nice cos it is an old repair.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57That was done quite some time ago,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00which is a real shame cos it's beautiful quality.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Do you think that it's a saleable item?
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Collectors love this sort of thing
0:10:04 > 0:10:07and looking at the quality of that painting,
0:10:07 > 0:10:08a collector would go for that,
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- but the price has got to reflect the fact that it's been repaired. - Yes, of course.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14That was going to be my next question, I think -
0:10:14 > 0:10:15whether there's a deal there.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I notice you've got a little rivet repair.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- But it's a nice repair. - It is a nice repair.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- I mean, it's a wonderful piece of porcelain.- Mm.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Some jewelling on it so it probably is Minton.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- You think Minton? Yes. - I think so, yes. - It's got these little turquoise...
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Little bits of jewelling.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Oh, I didn't even spot those. - I spotted those. Isn't that lovely? - Very sweet.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37We've got to put it into auction,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40so what sort of thing could you do on the price for us?
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- £35.- £35?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46The little jewels are wonderful quality.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47I love it, personally.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52Would you take £30 on it, please? Thank you.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Yes, OK.- Thank you. - It's my wife's, so I can say yes.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56ALL LAUGH
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Wonderful.- It's a deal.- Thank you so much.- Thank you very much.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- TIM:- Well negotiated, Blues. Just don't tell the missus.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Now for something seriously old
0:11:05 > 0:11:08and I'm not talking about David Harper.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- That's Song dynasty.- Yeah. - Qingbai.- Yeah.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- I can do that for £80. - OK, there you go.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19So, Song dynasty and that is about 960 to 1200 in date.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23So, 100 years before the Battle of Hastings, that was made.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Hold it. Don't be afraid of it.- Wow.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29It's actually translucent as well, if you want to look up at the light.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31SHE GASPS
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Even though it's 1,000 years old, it's not the rarest thing in the world and that's why it's 80 quid.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Shouldn't it be thousands of pounds if it's that old? - Well, it should be.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41This is going to a general sale and let's be honest,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- most people in that sale won't know that's 1,000 years old.- No.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45They'd never believe it.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47The gentleman's right. It is Song dynasty.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Are you risk-takers? That's the question.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- You are, I'm not. - Yeah, I am a bit of a risk-taker.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I love it, but if it's not the right sale...
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Oh, I can absolutely...
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I've got to tell you, it's not the right sale
0:12:01 > 0:12:03and you will be taking a big chance
0:12:03 > 0:12:06because if they don't understand it, it'll make 10 quid.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Really? Oh, well... - If they don't understand it.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- I would rather it went to the right person at the right sale.- Yeah.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12It's probably good advice.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- TIM:- Good call, team. Now, what's the time?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Ooh, it's dinnertime!
0:12:18 > 0:12:23If you're a keen collector of things connected to the dining table,
0:12:23 > 0:12:27you might consider making a collection of these fellows.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29This one is a classic.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34It's got a castellated form of milling around the edge
0:12:34 > 0:12:38and according to the label, it was made in Birmingham in 1926
0:12:38 > 0:12:39and it would cost you £22,
0:12:39 > 0:12:43which is not a lot of money for solid silver.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Now, the French had this cracked in spades
0:12:47 > 0:12:51because they came up with little devices like that,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54relatively cheaply made out of bent metal,
0:12:54 > 0:12:59but with some teeth, look, that will grip the edge of a napkin
0:12:59 > 0:13:03and you'd then introduce that into your buttonhole in your shirt
0:13:03 > 0:13:06and that napkin is never going to shift.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08And were you to want to add this
0:13:08 > 0:13:12to your collection of napkin accessories,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15that fellow would cost you £6.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19But the prize for me is this serviette ring.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21It's oval, look.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23And if I take the napkin
0:13:23 > 0:13:28and introduce it into that oval-shaped napkin holder,
0:13:28 > 0:13:33you see, flat, it sits, perfectly neat and nicely.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Now, if I take it out, you'll spot, in the top, an unusual piercing
0:13:37 > 0:13:39and if I hinge it like that,
0:13:39 > 0:13:44it morphs from being an oval into a form of hook.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46If you take your napkin
0:13:46 > 0:13:50and you put one edge of it into the serrated bit
0:13:50 > 0:13:55and give it a good yank so that it sits nice and snug,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57spread out the serviette like that
0:13:57 > 0:14:01and you can then hook it into the top of your waistcoat.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05It's got stamped on the back 'Prov. Patent',
0:14:05 > 0:14:08which stands for 'Provisional Patent'
0:14:08 > 0:14:11and underneath that, we've got the numeral five.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14That number five means that there were at least five or six
0:14:14 > 0:14:16of these serviette rings
0:14:16 > 0:14:19so that when you went to visit your great-aunt Agatha
0:14:19 > 0:14:21and you were staying for two or three days,
0:14:21 > 0:14:26she didn't want to have to give you a fresh serviette for every meal.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29So, at the first meal, you'd have your serviette,
0:14:29 > 0:14:32she'd give you a ring and she'd say, "Remember, you're number five."
0:14:32 > 0:14:38Well, that's dining room etiquette for you circa 1910.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Were you to sell it to a serviette aficionado,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47you'd find you could get maybe as much as £50-£70.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50But here, in Peterborough, outside on one of the stalls,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54milliseconds ago, it could have been yours for £6.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Yum, yum!
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Now, let's cast our minds back to Kate and those Blues.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Tell me about your fishing, ladies,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04cos I would have thought it'd be quite nice
0:15:04 > 0:15:07to find something to do with your fishing interest
0:15:07 > 0:15:09cos you're both amazing fly-fisherwomen, aren't you?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Yes, but there's a difficulty there
0:15:11 > 0:15:14cos, of course, antique rods are lovely,
0:15:14 > 0:15:19but not very collectable because, see, it's difficult to display them.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Reels are more collectable,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23but you really have to know what you're doing
0:15:23 > 0:15:26and fortunately, Sue and I haven't been around that long
0:15:26 > 0:15:28that we would...that we would know!
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Maybe we should just try and find you a fish.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Oh, a fish would be great.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- Let's find a fish. - A fish would be good.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39Yes, hurry up, Blues. Don't take too long to mull it over.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Do you recognise that design there? - Poole Pottery.- Poole Pottery.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- You watch the show every day.- I do!
0:15:44 > 0:15:45THEY LAUGH
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Look at the vibrant colours. - I know. I love it.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50But it has a restrictive price. You've got to remember that.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52It's never going to take off and make you a fortune.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- Do you see what I mean?- OK. - Cos we all know what it's worth.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57So, for auction, it's best to try and find something
0:15:57 > 0:15:59that no-one really can value.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Hang on a minute, the Blues are up to something fishy.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Ladies, look at this. This is just up your street.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- It is, isn't it?- What sort of fish are they, do you think? Carp?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12They've got no adipose fin so they're not...
0:16:12 > 0:16:13What's an adipose fin?
0:16:13 > 0:16:17It's an extra fin that game fish have so we know they're not game fish.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19It looks a little bit more like a catfish.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Yeah, maybe koi carp, though. - Yeah, maybe.- Do you think?- Yeah.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Well, now I've learnt about the fish,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I can tell you about the silver
0:16:25 > 0:16:28because this is absolutely beautiful quality.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Yes.- It is by Asprey's.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35It's a ladies compact, but, I'm really sorry, ladies,
0:16:35 > 0:16:40to dangle the carrot because this has a price tag of £495.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Oh, my goodness me.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Never mind, girls. It was the one that got away, eh?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49And it looks like the Reds are getting all watery-eyed too.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51It looks like it could be coral or something like that
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- or something from under the sea. - Oh, right. It does.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- It has that look, doesn't it, yeah? Lisa, what do you think?- I like it.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59And where do you think it comes from?
0:16:59 > 0:17:03I would say it looks very Japanese to me.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- Well, it's definitely oriental, isn't it?- Yes, definitely.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- There's no doubt about it. - Well, I'm glad you picked it up.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Let's have a look. So, we've got depicting there...
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Are they cranes? - They kind of look like cranes.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- They've got very long legs, haven't they?- Yeah.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Then we've got deer on the base there.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Both quite important creatures
0:17:21 > 0:17:24in particularly Chinese culture or mythology -
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- the crane representing long life. - Right.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Now, I don't need to scratch it, but if I scratch that base,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33I'll be able to cut into it like soap.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- Oh!- Yeah, so, it's soapstone. - Oh, no.- Amazing.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41So, it's a soft stone, which is very, very easy to carve.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Dating probably to early 20th century.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- The kind of thing that we might have brought back from Hong Kong. - Right.- Right.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I think it's lovely. There's an awful lot going on there.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- What do you think? - What's your trade price for us?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- I'll take £15 off, bring it down to £70.- 70 quid.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Oh, I can sense something coming here.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Could you do £60?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- I'll do £65 and then that's good. - Yeah. Thank you.- Pleasure.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Blowing a kiss - does that mean we've done the deal?- It does.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- TIM:- The Reds are in perfect harmony.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Now, can Kate work her charm on those Blues?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18What's that? Oh, it's quite scratched.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19It is quite scratched.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21It's quite nicely done, though,
0:18:21 > 0:18:25when you look at it close up, but...tulips.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I'm looking for a manufacturer's mark, OK,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31and I can't see anything at all.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Well, brilliant. Tell me about this.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37It's Czechoslovakian Art Deco, obviously.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42- Is it marked?- No, it isn't, no. - And its '30s?- Yes, 1930s.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Czechoslovakian?- Yes. - It's actually quite nice quality.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48There's quite a lot of detail there, isn't there?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- What's the best you could do on that for us?- About £80.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- Hmm.- Not good?- No.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I think we'd need it a little bit less than that.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00I'm going to be really cheeky and feel free to say no,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- but I'm going to offer you £40.- No.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05THEY LAUGH
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Sorry.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- What's your absolute...? - Just let me find out.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11All right, thank you.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14What do you think, girls, while he goes and has a little think?
0:19:14 > 0:19:15I quite like...
0:19:15 > 0:19:18I'm worried about the scratching and the fact it's not marked.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I think if we can get it for the right price,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- then we stand a half-decent chance. - Do you think it'll sell?
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I do think it'll sell, yes. It's a lovely, decorative piece.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32It's certainly that Art Nouveau sort of style.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33£70.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37We'd need it a little bit less than that, wouldn't we, girls?
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- No, I'm not confident on £70.- No. OK, right, thank you very much, sir.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- Thank you.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- TIM:- Not exactly bowled over, then, girls?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Wow.- OK. Well, come on, then.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Art Nouveau.- Yeah.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Is it WWF?- WWF? Isn't that the wrestling?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02It's the wrestling, isn't it? What am I trying to say, then?
0:20:02 > 0:20:04(I think she's trying to say WMF.)
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- WMF.- WMF.- Yeah.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11- Spin it over. Ooh! Ooh! Ooh, hello. - Ooh!- What does that say?
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Have we got one there?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16"World Wrestling Federation."
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- You're right, yeah! She was right.- No.- Yeah.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22It's another maker. Etain. Etain fin.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- Cos WMF are the famous German maker, aren't they?- I know that, yeah.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I think the casting is OK, but it's not WMF quality.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Do we need to look at the price, see how much they're asking?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- I know the price. - OK, how much is it?- £138.- £138.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37That seems quite a bit, doesn't it?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- I haven't got a feeling about this. - No, no. No gut reaction.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44It is lovely, but we've got to win. We have to win.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- We're far too competitive not to win. - OK, all right.- Thank you.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Yes! That's the spirit!
0:20:49 > 0:20:52But the clock is ticking, as Kate has noticed.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- A travel alarm clock. - A little travelling clock, yes.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01You can see it's got a winding mechanism on the back here
0:21:01 > 0:21:03and quite clearly made in France.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Depose, which means 'made' in French.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10It's a 30-hour movement so you do have to wind it up every 30 hours,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13but it's, what I think, something really stylish.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16The black enamelling is also in really good condition.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19You haven't got any bad scratches or chips there.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21It's very geometric in style.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24It's very '30s, very Art Deco,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27but it's got a little case here, which...
0:21:28 > 0:21:31..it does fit quite snugly in there,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34which would suggest it's the original case.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36There. Look at that. And the case has obviously seen better days,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38but in some ways, that's quite good.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40It shows it's a period clock.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43It's also protected the clock really well.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- I like it.- Yeah, I like it.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- We disagree on a lot, but we like this. - But you agree on this?- We like this.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Maybe if we ask the stallholder if we take the dish as well -
0:21:52 > 0:21:55the lovely opalescent dish with the tulips on -
0:21:55 > 0:21:58whether he might do us a fantastic deal if we took the two.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Yes.- OK.- It's got to be worth a shot, hasn't it? Yes?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Ooh, sneaky, Kate!
0:22:03 > 0:22:07I'm just thinking if the gentleman could do a super deal...
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Well, if you had both, we could do £120 for both.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- The plate and the clock? - They're quite concerned about the scratching on the plate.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- Yes.- The condition of it. - It's been used, hasn't it?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19It is the scratching. It's the only bit that's worrying us.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22What about a flat £100 cash and we'll take the two?
0:22:23 > 0:22:24- Go on, then.- Yes?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- I love both. Yes.- Are you sure? - Yes, absolutely fine with that.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Yeah, absolutely. - Thank you very much.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- TIM:- Double whammy! Well done, girls.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Now, those Reds have just one item still to buy
0:22:36 > 0:22:39and there's still just five minutes left on the clock.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Time to start thinking outside the box.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- Look at the box. - Oh, have a look at the box.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Ooh, well, this is...- Yes. - ..real territory.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- Yeah, it's got dovetails, look. - Yeah, big, thick, chunky dovetails.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56- Yeah, and it looks like a cast lock as well, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- Sloping front, what looks like the original hinges.- I love it.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03So, it's made from oak, yeah? And feel it.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04- Rub your hand along there.- I know.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- Can you feel the ridges?- Yes.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- That's a hand-cut chunk of oak that's been hand-finished.- Right.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Look at the hinges.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- Look how they're fixed... - I know. It's lovely.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17..onto the case, all with hand-forged clout nails.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Can I...?- Yeah, you have a look. - It's that lock.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23The inscription plate is much later than the box.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26That is an 18th-century plate.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29So, if that's much later than the box and that's 18th-century,
0:23:29 > 0:23:30how old do you think the box is?
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- 17th century.- 17th century, yeah. Could be English Civil War period.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39It was made to carry something quite specific.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- Bibles?- Yes.- Is that it? - It's a Bible box.- Oh!
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- I'm sorry. I said it completely over-the-top.- Brilliant.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47That's fantastic, isn't it?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50But it would carry one great, big Family Bible.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52So, there you have it. That's the real thing.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56That's a real antique. 200 quid.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- SELLER:- I'll take £170.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02It's worth it if you wanted to take it home,
0:24:02 > 0:24:07but for an auction general, you might be in a loss situation.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09You're twisting my arm to £160.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12£160?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- Gut feeling - definite. - Yeah?- Yeah, definite.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- Shall we do it?- Yeah, we'll do it. - Yeah?- We'll do it, yeah.- OK, OK.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- Right. We're going to do it. - So, you're going to leave me what?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- £10.- £10.- Thanks for that.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- Is that all right?- Yeah, it's great.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29THEY LAUGH
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Taxi! Time's up! Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Ooh, here's another.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42They communally decided on an Art Nouveau chalice for £65.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Bless them.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49Then they went all soft over a soapstone carving for £65.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Holy Moses!
0:24:51 > 0:24:57And finally, they closed the deal on a 17th-century Bible box for £160.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Say your prayers!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Now, girls...- Yes. - ..how lovely was that?
0:25:01 > 0:25:02- Awesome.- Was it awesome?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- Brilliant fun. - How much did you spend, you two?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- BOTH: £290. - That's what I heard.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- That's a good number, isn't it? £290. Risk all.- Oh, absolutely.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14He who dares wins!
0:25:14 > 0:25:18OK, fine. Now, you spent £290. We like the sound of that.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Which is your favourite piece, Lise?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- It's the Bible box. - The Bible box is your favourite.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- You get something spiritual from it, right?- We did, yeah.- Yes.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- Which is your favourite bit? - My favourite bit is also the box.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Oh, that's nice. Boxing clever, you are today.- And mine.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- And yours?- Yeah. Well, we're a team, aren't we?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- You're not supposed to have a favourite.- Aren't I?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- You're supposed to love me more than anybody else.- You know I love you.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- Goes without saying. - OK, now, that's your prediction.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- It's got to be the goblet. - The goblet.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Do you agree with the goblet? - The goblet.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Do you agree with the goblet? - I'm a team member.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- You're just... - I'm with the goblet, yeah.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55..you're just so agreeable.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58THEY LAUGH
0:25:58 > 0:26:00What a bunch of creeps. No!
0:26:00 > 0:26:01THEY LAUGH
0:26:01 > 0:26:06Anyway, super. So, that means I'd like £10 of leftover lolly, please.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Yeah.- Oh, OK.- All right.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- What do you mean OK? - There you are.- There we go.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11It's not so OK.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13He's got to go and spend it profitably now.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Yeah, thanks a lot! - Sorry.- That's all right.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- It's meant to be team play and I'm left with a tenner!- Exactly.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Should be enough for a couple of pairs of trousers, anyway.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22THEY LAUGH
0:26:22 > 0:26:23How dare you!
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Anyway, very good luck.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33First, they were drawn to a hand-painted,
0:26:33 > 0:26:3719th-century bone china coffee cup and a saucer for £30.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Cheers!
0:26:38 > 0:26:44They scooped up an Art Deco moulded glass dish for £60...
0:26:45 > 0:26:49..together with a French Art Deco travel clock for £40.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Well, girls, that was great, wasn't it?- Yes, it was. Good fun.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Which is your favourite item? - The clock. The travel clock.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Would you agree with that?- I'd agree with that. I really like the clock.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- It chimes for you, does it? - Yes, it does, actually.- Good.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- And is it going to bring the biggest profit?- No.- No?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07I think the cabinet cup and saucer is going to bring the biggest profit.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- And you agree with that, Sue? - Yeah, think it will do. - Because of the price we got it at.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- And how much did you spend? - £130.- £130.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18I'd like £170 of leftover lolly, please.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Thank you, Sue II. That's very nice.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24That is a jolly nice sum of money to give to my old friend, my old mate, my old mucker.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- What are you going to spend it on? - I have got a little inkling.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30It could just depend on the price.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- Does it? As ever. - As ever.- Cautious Kate.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35THEY LAUGH
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Anyway, good luck, teams and good luck, Kate.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Now let's find out what our auctioneer makes of the teams' buys.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Can you imagine a bigger thrill
0:27:45 > 0:27:48than popping from Peterborough to Lichfield
0:27:48 > 0:27:52to be at Richard Winterton's with Richard Winterton himself?
0:27:52 > 0:27:53Richard, good morning.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Good morning to you and it's beautiful here in Lichfield.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Isn't it just? And we've got some splendid objects,
0:27:58 > 0:28:03which kicks off with a polished pewter chalice, I suppose.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05- Do you like it?- I personally don't,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08but these chalices are starting up a bit of a following
0:28:08 > 0:28:10and we've had quite a success with chalices lately.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- Doesn't do anything for me, but I can see...- How much?
0:28:12 > 0:28:14We've gone £70-£90.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- You are a marvellous man. £65 paid.- OK.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19That's absolutely splendido.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Then, next door, we've got the classic
0:28:22 > 0:28:24in brand-new Chinese works of art.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29This is a piece of white soapstone sitting on a green soapstone base.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31- Churned out, yes?- Yes.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- Container load came over, no doubt. - Yeah.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36So, how much for this particular lump?
0:28:36 > 0:28:37£30-£40.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- £30-£40 - brilliant. £65 paid.- OK.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44And then we move from the ridiculous to the sublime,
0:28:44 > 0:28:47which is this very nice, 17th-century oak Bible box.
0:28:47 > 0:28:48I love it.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- We're rather more comfortable on this territory, aren't we? - Yes, I love it.
0:28:51 > 0:28:56Plank construction, but right as rain. Worth how much?
0:28:56 > 0:28:58We've gone £120-£150 on it.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01OK, £160 paid, which it could easily make.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04It could. It could well do. They paid a lot of money for it.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05I'm not surprised. I think it's fab.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09I wish the younger generation or whatever start to collect this sort of thing.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12They're more interested in the '70s sort of stuff at the moment,
0:29:12 > 0:29:13- but I think that's beautiful.- Good.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Well, with a bit of luck, they'll make a wee profit on that.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19They'll make a wee profit on maybe all of it,
0:29:19 > 0:29:22but in case not, let's have a look at their bonus buy.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- Now, girls, this is exciting, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29You naughtily spent £290.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- I'm so proud of you...- Yes, we did. - ..and gave our man Dave £10.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- David...- OK. - ..what did you spend it on?
0:29:35 > 0:29:37I blew the lot.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- Ooh!- Ooh!
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Now, you ladies strike me as a pair of girls
0:29:42 > 0:29:46who would like to participate in a little snuff every now and then.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48SHE LAUGHS
0:29:48 > 0:29:50- Steady!- I don't know what you mean.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- Open the box.- And have a look inside.
0:29:52 > 0:29:5519th-century, 1880 - probably something like that.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57More than likely for a lady.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00It's papier-mache with lovely mother-of-pearl inlay there.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Quite possibly French.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05It's a mass-produced thing, there's no doubt about it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08It isn't screaming quality, but it's fantastically charming.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I mean, it's badly rubbed, isn't it? But it's been loved.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- It's been used, Tim. - It's called pre-owned, actually.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17No, seriously, he spent £10. There is one question to ask him.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19How much do you think that will go for?
0:30:19 > 0:30:22£10-£20. Might make £25.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- So, we might get a coffee and a muffin with that?- Yes, exactly.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27You're not going on holiday with it.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Why don't we find out what the auctioneer thinks about Dave's snuffbox?
0:30:31 > 0:30:34So, Richard, if you've only got £10 left
0:30:34 > 0:30:37to go shopping for a bonus buy with, that is what you come up with.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- Right.- Tatty?
0:30:39 > 0:30:43A bit. It's got a bit of work to it. You know, people do like these.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45- Character?- It's got that.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49It's a bit weak, as snuffboxes go and it's a bit scuffed.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51We've gone with no guide so...
0:30:51 > 0:30:53- That means it could make anything. - Make anything.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- £5? £10?- Could do.- Could do.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58OK, fine. Well, as only £10 were spent,
0:30:58 > 0:31:00no great sweat there.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Anyway, thank you, Richard. That's it for the Reds.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07Now for the Blues and their first item is this teacup and saucer.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11Lovely pink Sevres-looking colour scheme.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Is it a desirable object? - This is perfect to the items
0:31:13 > 0:31:15which are really not in favour at the moment.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18You know, we've gone £20-£30 on it, but it would have been,
0:31:18 > 0:31:22what, £80, £90, £100 give it sort of seven or eight years ago.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- Now, unless you've been left it by dear old...- Gran.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28..Gran, then you'd be wanting to keep it as special,
0:31:28 > 0:31:31but I don't think people would go out and buy it these days.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Particularly if Gran had left you a house with it.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35It'd be great, wouldn't it?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38If she left you the house, you'd look after the teacup, wouldn't you?
0:31:38 > 0:31:40But if all that came out of the will was,
0:31:40 > 0:31:44"I do give and bequeath my pink teacup and saucer,"
0:31:44 > 0:31:46you might not be so fast.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- You wouldn't be chuffed, would you? - No. OK.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Anyway, £20-£30 is your estimate.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55- £30 is what Kate paid, so we're not a million miles apart.- OK.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Next up is the Lalique-looking
0:31:58 > 0:32:02opalescent glass moulded dish with tulips.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06- How did you rate that? - It's the sort of thing that really would have been popular,
0:32:06 > 0:32:08you know, a few years ago.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11It's just a bit off the boil at the moment and that's a bit scratched.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- It's a bit tired-looking, isn't it?- Mm.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Yeah, well, we've gone £50-£60 on it so...
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- Don't worry. £60 was paid.- OK. - So that's not too bad.- Yeah, OK.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23And then moving on to the Art Deco travelling timepiece,
0:32:23 > 0:32:24- how do you rate that?- I like this.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26These are always popular and in the saleroom,
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- there's going to be quite a few hands going for this one.- You reckon?
0:32:30 > 0:32:31Yeah, I quite like that, yeah.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33We've gone £30-£40 on it. It should make that.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- Good. £40 paid.- Yeah, it's OK, yeah.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38So, all-round, we should have a few wiped faces, shouldn't we?
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- We should.- But in case not, they'll need the bonus buy
0:32:41 > 0:32:42so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:43 > 0:32:50So, Sue, Sue, £170 of leftover lolly was entrusted to Kate.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55- Kate, what did you spend? - Are you ready, ladies?- Go on.- This!
0:32:55 > 0:32:58So, this is a pig pincushion.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00It's Edwardian in date.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03In fact, we've got a very clear silver hallmark
0:33:03 > 0:33:05just on the side here.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07So, it dates to 1906.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11It's by quite a well-known maker - Adie & Lovekin -
0:33:11 > 0:33:15who were known for making small little commercial silver pieces
0:33:15 > 0:33:17and I think he's rather nice.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19I think he's lovely. That's beautiful.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20What do you think, Sue?
0:33:20 > 0:33:25I like him, but I need to know how much he's going to cost.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29OK, well, he cost me £160.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- Well, that's a lot of bacon. - Sharp intake of breath.
0:33:33 > 0:33:38I've seen these going for anything from £120 to towards £200.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42- So, that is a pretty fair price. - Yes, £160.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- Gosh!- And what do we think? I don't know.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Well, you don't have to choose right now, girls.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51What you do is to pick later after the sale of your first three items.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54But right now, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:33:54 > 0:33:55about Kate's little piggy.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- OK, hold onto your trotters. - OK. These are really popular.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03As pincushions go, it's a good example.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06It's great, it's a good bit of fun and they are collectable.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09There are collectors out there so it should sell pretty good.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12We've got £100-£120 on it. It should get to there.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15OK, fine. Well, I'm afraid Kate's paid the full whack.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17She's paid £160.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Does it stand any chance of making £160?
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- I think we'll be struggling. I really do.- OK, fine.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Well, in the end, the team won't go for it.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- Still, you're in good voice? - Yes, looking forward to it.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29So are we. Thank you, Richard.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31£10, I'm bid.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34£10 right away. At £10. £10, I'm bid.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Now, children - Lisa, Karen - how are you feeling?
0:34:37 > 0:34:41- Nervous.- Are you?- Yeah. - Why?- Cos I'm excited.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Is it rather like your first day at school
0:34:44 > 0:34:47when you went off together as nine-year-olds
0:34:47 > 0:34:50or whatever it was when your friendship started?
0:34:50 > 0:34:51- Yeah.- Yes.- Aw.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55So, you've got your Art Nouveau polished pewter chalice,
0:34:55 > 0:35:00which you paid £65 for, which the auctioneer thinks is F-A-B
0:35:00 > 0:35:04- and he has put £70-£90 on it. - Very good. Excellent.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Your polished pewter chalice and here it comes.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09We have the chalice now. £20, I'm bid.
0:35:09 > 0:35:14At £25. £30. £35. £40. £45. £50.

0:35:20 > 0:35:23- Come on!- All done? Sold at £50.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27- Oh, dear.- Ouch!- Bad luck.- OK.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31I sent up a prayer for that and it didn't work. Minus £15.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35883, we go to. £20, I'm bid. £25.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- £30 bid.- Go on. - £30, I'm bid on the book.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43I'm bid at £30.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Internet's out, room is out. £30 here.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49All done. Sold at £30.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- Ouch!- Minus £35.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Sorry about that, team. Say your prayers for this.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59The Bible box now. £90, I'm bid. At £90. £100.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01- £110, madam?- Go on.- £110.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04£120. £130. £140.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08£140 by the door. £140. Everyone else out?
0:36:08 > 0:36:12Sold at £140.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17That's minus £20, which means, overall, you're minus £70 for it.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Well, you punted, didn't you? You spent the £290.- Yes.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25You were very brave. You spent nearly all your money.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Anyway, there we are. You're minus £70.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30- What are you going to do? Go with the snuffbox?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33It's going to have to do terribly well to get you out of the...
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- Miracle. - ..out of the poo-poo, frankly.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39- I believe in miracles. - # I believe in miracles! #
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- Oh, no, maybe not. Anyway, are you happy with this?- Yes.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44You're not really, but aren't they sporting, our girls?
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- They're brilliant. - There we are.- Come on.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Don't let any adversity drive you down, right?- No, never.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- You're not going to do that, are you, girls?- No.- No.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- You'll rise up above it, will you? - Yeah.- OK, fine. I love it.

0:37:26 > 0:37:31£20. On my left at £20. Sold at £20.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36£20 is plus £10. That's why he's called a legend.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41Um, anyway, that reduces your losses to minus £60,
0:37:41 > 0:37:45which could easily, on the scale of things, be a winning score today.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47- Yeah.- So, say not a word to the Blues.- No.- No.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Thank you very much, girls. Thank you, Dave.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- Now, Sue, Sue...- Yes. - ..do you know how the Reds got on?

0:38:09 > 0:38:12little blobs of enamel on the surface. It's a lovely thing.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15His estimate is £20-£30. £30, you paid.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17£30 is no money for it, really.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Not to a collector who wants a pretty little thing for a cabinet.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22And here it comes. Look how pretty that is.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26The coffee can and the saucer, then. £10 to start me.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30£10. £10. Anyone to start me? £10? I've got you, madam, at £10. £12.

0:39:40 > 0:39:45Plus £20. Super, girls. So, overall, you are plus £30.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Now, the big decision is what to do next -
0:39:48 > 0:39:49to go with the pig or not.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51It's very nice to have cash in the bank, right,
0:39:51 > 0:39:53which is what you've got.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55£30 worth of profit - difficult enough to find.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00Are you going to go with the £160 pig
0:40:00 > 0:40:02or are you going to punt the pig and stick with your cash?
0:40:02 > 0:40:04I've got a lot of faith in that porker.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08I'm tempted to stay with the profit that we have.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09Um...
0:40:10 > 0:40:12- OK, well... - It's such a difficult decision.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- It is a difficult one. - That's a hard one.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Cos you love it, but on the other hand, you have got a little profit.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19- Yes.- OK, quickly, then. We need a decision.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Um, um, um, um, we're going to go for it.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23- Yeah, we are.- Are you sure?- Yes!
0:40:23 > 0:40:26I know you think it's high, but I think...
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- You don't have to, you know. - No. No, let's go for it.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- You can stick if you want to. - No, we're going to go for it.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33OK, well, there we go. The decision is made.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- You've had your chance. - We're only here once.- OK, fine.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38OK, you're going with the bonus buy
0:40:38 > 0:40:41and we're going to sell it right now. Here it comes.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45We now go to the little silver pig pincushion.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49£50. £60. £70. £70 a bid.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13- Sold at £130. - Oh, no, I can't bear it!
0:41:13 > 0:41:17£130 is minus £30, which means you've got nothing.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19ALL LAUGH
0:41:19 > 0:41:24- I'm so sorry, ladies!- We don't care. - I'll go and shoot myself over here.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28All this effort and we got absolutely nowhere.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- We were right on the plate and the clock.- Oh, yes, you were right.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- Yes, we were right. Yes, we were. - You still got absolutely nowhere.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Oh, dear, that is the peculiar thing about life, isn't it?
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Yes, it is.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Anyway, so, it could be a winning score, having nothing.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42ALL LAUGH
0:41:42 > 0:41:46- On this programme, it could, anyway. - How bad do I feel?
0:41:46 > 0:41:51No, no, no. I mean, I tell you, it was just a tickle away. Come on.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54All that bidding on the internet, nobody here in the room.
0:41:54 > 0:41:55Very exciting, Kate.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57OK, girls, well, that's fine, isn't it?
0:41:57 > 0:41:59- Don't say a word to the Reds. - No, we won't.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01And all will be revealed in a moment.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Well, well, well, what fun we've had. Have we had fun?
0:42:13 > 0:42:15- Oh, we have. - I mean, it's been a gas, hasn't it?
0:42:15 > 0:42:16- Absolutely.- Yeah, absolutely.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19All girl teams, with the exception of Dave...
0:42:19 > 0:42:21ALL LAUGH
0:42:21 > 0:42:23- Thanks for noticing. - As if you hadn't noticed.
0:42:23 > 0:42:24..which is marvellous.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26So, how do we think we're doing?
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Have you been chatting at all, one to the other?- A bit rubbish.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Well, that would be a prediction, Dave, I have to say.
0:42:32 > 0:42:37- And, actually, the team that is running up today are the Reds.- Oh!
0:42:37 > 0:42:41Bad luck, Reds. Yeah, minus £60, you are, girls.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45But for the Blues, we have a tremendous result
0:42:45 > 0:42:48because they worked like dingo, they did extraordinarily well
0:42:48 > 0:42:50and they finished up by not making any profit at all.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Right?
0:42:52 > 0:42:54We have the ultimate wiped face here.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58No profit, no loss. You had £30, you went with the bonus buy
0:42:58 > 0:43:00and then you finished up with nothing.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02ALL LAUGH
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Still, it did turn out to be a bit of a swine, that pig, didn't it?
0:43:05 > 0:43:06Absolutely.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10OK, that's it. Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?
0:43:10 > 0:43:11ALL: Yes!
