0:00:05 > 0:00:08Now, here's a recipe for success -
0:00:08 > 0:00:11take 300 smackers, mix it up
0:00:11 > 0:00:13with some teams,
0:00:13 > 0:00:19add an hour's shopping and a pecan professional or two,
0:00:19 > 0:00:22turn up the heat, sit back, have a cup of tea and...
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Today, we have popped to Peterborough,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55where the East of England Showground
0:00:55 > 0:00:59plays host to today's festival of antiques.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Let us hope that our teams have got their wits about them,
0:01:02 > 0:01:06because this is one of the largest antique fairs in Britain.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Let's take a quick shufty as to what is coming up.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14The Reds get loved up.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Bianca, well done.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Where's my kiss?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24While the Blues get X-rated.
0:01:24 > 0:01:30Oh, hang on, it is one of those rude things. Oh, very rude! Oh, wow!
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- So rude, it's...- Oh, my word!
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Oh, dear!
0:01:35 > 0:01:37My children might be watching!
0:01:37 > 0:01:40So, let's meet the teams.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44So, on today's programme, we have a merry mix of matrimony,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46because we have two happily married teams.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49For the Reds, we've got Bianca and Lee. And for the Blues,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51we have Gilly and Richard. Hello, everyone.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- ALL: Hello, Tim. - Great to see you.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Now, Lee, you have been together for 20 years, right?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Yeah.- Where did you meet? - We met in Spain.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01When the holiday came to the end, what happened?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Bianca basically said,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05"If you want me, you'll have to come and get me in Holland."
0:02:05 > 0:02:07So you were back and forth to Holland for a bit?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Yeah, we kept going over and visiting each other.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Holland is a beautiful country, but I was living with my mother
0:02:13 > 0:02:17and father at the time, and they had a £500 phone bill come through.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22So, my dad sat me down and told me I better make a few decisions.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23It reversed then. I said to her,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25"If you want me, you'll have to come and get me."
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Oh, right. - Which meant she moved to England.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31And after 20 years, you decided to have a big career change.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Yes, indeed. I was an electrical engineer
0:02:33 > 0:02:36and the shift work was not the best for bringing up a young family.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- No.- So I decided to have a change of career.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43And I run an online clothing business now.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45You do something completely different, don't you, Bianca?
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Yes, I do.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50I've been trained to work with people of learning disabilities.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Hm-mm. - I've done that for about ten years.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56And then I have been a teaching assistant for a few years.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00You are both into a bit of football coaching. Tell us about that.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03My little ones, my three and four-year-old,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05they went to football training.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- So I...joined them? And help them coach now.- Oh, right.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I've got about 12 little boys and girls running around,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14trying to play a bit of football.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- And you go around to help, Lee, do you?- No, not with the girls, no.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- What do you do, then? - I do the teenagers.- Oh, do you?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Yeah, under 15 at the moment. It is coined FC.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25And I run the side with a friend of mine, called Duncan.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27And, yeah, it has been a challenge,
0:03:27 > 0:03:30but we are slightly turning the corner now, so...
0:03:30 > 0:03:32And would you say that you two are pretty competitive
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- because of the football?- Oh, yes.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Do you want to win today? - I want to survive today.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38That will be a win for me.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41The wife wants to win and the man wants to survive.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44OK, we got the message there. Anyway, good luck.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Now, turning to the Blues.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Gilly, it was a huge leap of faith, wasn't it, when you first met?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Yes, you could say that.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56I was working for the Sunday Times Magazine and they asked me
0:03:56 > 0:03:59to do a piece about parachuting for the first time,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02what it was like to do the training and then jumping out of the airplane.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Yes.- And Richard was the freelance photographer who the magazine
0:04:06 > 0:04:08commissioned to take the picture.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12And that was the first time I met him. 35 years on, two kids and...
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Clearly, something is working. Excellent.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16But now you're semiretired. What do you get up to?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Well, we have a dog
0:04:19 > 0:04:22and I do quite a bit of training with her,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24cos I like having a well-trained dog.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- Is she good? - She's very good, actually.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Now, you've written a book, too, haven't you?- Oh, yes.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Well, that was largely through Richard,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33because he did a lot of work with the Red Arrows.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36We decided that we really should do a book about them, so we did.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39We spent a year with the Red Arrows. And I flew with them
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- a couple of times, which was very exciting.- Yeah, I bet.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Now, Ricardo, tell us about your love of photography.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Well, it wasn't love at first sight. I did a bit of fine art at college.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54I didn't ever study photography, I just borrowed a camera,
0:04:54 > 0:04:55read the instructions that came with it
0:04:55 > 0:04:58and just sort of learned it by doing, really.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Is he just being modest here? He is a very good photographer, isn't he?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- He is, yes.- Well, there you are. Love it, don't you,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05when a man tells you all he does is read the back of the packet.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Now, on your trip to the stalls today, are you going to have
0:05:08 > 0:05:10your eyes peeled for anything in particular?
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- I like old toys.- Do you? - Yes, we do.- Amusing.- Yes.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Mechanical toys?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Yes.- Musical toys?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Yeah.- Tinplate toys?- Yes.- Soft toys?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Hm, yes.- Gosh, we're going to have a good play today, aren't we?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Anyway, now the money moment. £300 apiece. There is £300.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!
0:05:29 > 0:05:31And very, very good luck.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I think I'm going to go Dutch.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39Helping our team spend wisely, are our experts.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44Putting on a brave face of it with the Reds is David Harper.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48And for the Blues, a sight for sore eyes - it's Kate Bliss.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Hey, you two!- Hello. - How are you fixed?- Fine.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Are you ready?- Yes!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59So, do you two agree on everything?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- No, not at all, David. - Nothing? Bianca?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Absolutely nothing.- Oh, my gosh!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Tell me what we are going to be looking for.- Something interesting.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Beautifully designed.- Right.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Um, cheap.- Sounds good.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I would like some silver little bits, but things that you can use.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18OK, great. What are we going to look for, Lee?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I'm going to let you and Bianca lead me today, if that's OK.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23So we are going to wear the trousers.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Well, I'm definitely wearing the trousers.- Indeed, you are.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Something tells me that you two are going to be incredibly
0:06:29 > 0:06:31competitive, is that right?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Oh, I don't know. I mean... Yes.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Let's go! Come on.
0:06:35 > 0:06:3860 minutes of fun and laughter, are you ready?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- I'm ready.- Let's go.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43All right, teams, your time starts now.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59There's a spotlight over there, which looks rather interesting.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Gosh, didn't take Richard long, did it?
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- I know, but we've got to keep him under control.- Rein him in!
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- What have you spotted?- Well, it's...
0:07:07 > 0:07:11I don't know what it is, actually, but it looks jolly interesting.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14It is something you could wire up and fire a light onto a wall or...
0:07:14 > 0:07:16It's fantastic you spotted this
0:07:16 > 0:07:18cos these are really in vogue at the moment.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21You know, people love them for their studio apartments.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24It has got a great retro feel. It's, I guess, 1950s.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27It is essentially a spotlight.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Originally, they would have used them on a stage.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32If we just turn it over,
0:07:32 > 0:07:37- we've got the name...- Yeah. - ..on the back there. There we go.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41So, we've got Strand, who are the leading names, actually,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43in these aluminium lights.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47But the other thing I see is that if we look at the plug here,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- it has been what is called PAT tested.- Right.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Now, every electrical item which comes for sale,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55particularly at auction, has to be tested for safety.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57So it is all tested and ready to go.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Just a question of the price.- Yes.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- Excuse me, sir, how much are you looking for?- 135.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Almost half our budget in one fell swoop.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Yes, but we might be able to get a... Can you help us on this?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12We want to win this game.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I'll take a fiver off, 130, that's it, mate.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18I reckon you'd stand more chance negotiating with Blackbeard,
0:08:18 > 0:08:20the pirate, than this guy, Blues.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I have seen these go at auction for less than £100.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26I have seen them go for a couple of hundred pounds. It's a gamble.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28It's a gamble. I can't tell you it is a dead cert.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- It is a great thing, though, it is a great object.- Yeah, OK.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Yeah.- Um, 125?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37All right, 128, that's it, deal.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Yeah? Shall we do it?- Yeah.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Brilliant, we've got a deal. Well done, first purchase.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Thank you very much.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Strike a light, that was an impressive start.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Now, what can the Reds do?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Do you like that? - It's beautiful.- Do you?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Now, you think that is going to be heavy. Have a feel of that.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- It's not heavy at all, is it?- No.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Because it has been designed and made to be used to carry things.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09So the things it is going to carry are going to be decanters,
0:09:09 > 0:09:11glasses, bottles.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12They're going to be heavy,
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- so the tray itself doesn't want to be too heavy, does it?- No.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18So, OK, I think it screams Chinese.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20You've got the dragon, which, of course,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22is an auspicious creature in China.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25He's a good luck charm, he looks after you.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27He is a high-ranking creature.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32And you can tell how high-ranking he is also by the number of claws.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35It has got one, two, three, four, five.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38That is as many claws as a Chinese dragon could ever have.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42There were times in Chinese history where only the Emperor,
0:09:42 > 0:09:46his entourage and his family could own anything representing
0:09:46 > 0:09:48a dragon with five claws.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51So it is referred to as the Imperial Dragon.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Has somebody famous made this or...?
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Is it mass-produced, is it single production? How many?
0:09:57 > 0:09:58It is almost both.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00It is handmade,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03but it is mass-produced in a factory situation.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Circa 1920s, probably for us,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08the Brits living in Hong Kong.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10It is a functional tray.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12How much do you think this would make at auction?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14You would be surprised how little they make.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18You know, it might be 50 to 90. It might make 100.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I love it. How do you feel?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I love it, but we need to make profit, don't we?
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- It is priced at 90 sheets, I think. - Yep.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27It is priced at what, sorry?
0:10:27 > 0:10:2990 sheet... £90.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- 90 sheets?- Yeah.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Yeah, sheets, pound notes. Come on, David.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Pounds.- I've never heard of that before.- No?- 90 sheets?
0:10:36 > 0:10:3890 sheets, yeah.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41OK, let's find out how many sheets we have to give him. Hello.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Can we ask you how many sheets we need to give you to buy this?
0:10:45 > 0:10:46- 80.- 80?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Listening to your advice, we're not going to make that much money,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51if anything, on it at auction.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Yes.- Will you not budge on 80 at all?
0:10:54 > 0:10:55All I can do 75, that's it.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00OK, so it's 75 sheets or nothing. What do you think, Bianca?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I think we should buy it. That's my buy, then,
0:11:02 > 0:11:06because I do like the dragons and I do really like what it is for.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- We want it.- Shake the man's hand. Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Just the job for your Chinese take away.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17I knew you could carry it off, Reds. Now, what is this?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Richard is seeking further enlightenment.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23I've just had a word with the gentleman and he has pointed
0:11:23 > 0:11:29out that George Jensen lighter, which is really stylish.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30That's lovely.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33It is very '30s, actually, in design,
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- with its geometric finish on it. - I wonder how much it is.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- How much is it, Richard, do we know?- 140.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43140... Let's just have a little look.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46So we've got...we've got Denmark, 95S,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48so it is sterling standard silver.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50And then we've got, the very important thing,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53the George Jensen market just here, this little oval here.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56May I just sort of...see?
0:11:56 > 0:12:00I would say, although it is '30s in style, with the little oval
0:12:00 > 0:12:03mark there, I think it probably dates from the sort of '50s.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05So, we've already spent 128.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07This is 140 at the moment.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Can you do anything for us, sir?
0:12:09 > 0:12:14- I could come down to 120.- OK. - That will be bottom line.- So 120.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- So that takes us up to 248.- Gosh.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I see it at auction, because it has got the Jensen name,
0:12:21 > 0:12:26- at probably 80 to 120. You will get that sort of...- See, we are going...
0:12:26 > 0:12:29We're going to get ourselves into trouble, I think,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31because it is a lot of money.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Unless you can come down to 100,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36and then we'd have to think seriously.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Sorry, I just can't do that.- OK.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I'm going to stick on 120, I'm afraid.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Yeah. OK, thank you.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Well, thank you very much for your help.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I think, time is ticking, let's leave it where it is.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50We can always come back if we need to.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- I like that little bit there.- Do like that?- Yeah. It's a pencil, isn't it?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04That might be too much for us. Madam, Can we talk to you?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07It is nine carat and it is Sampson Mordan.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Best on that is going to be...120.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- Can we have a look at it? - Of course you can.- Would you mind?
0:13:15 > 0:13:19There are certain names in this business that can send
0:13:19 > 0:13:20a shiver up your spine.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- I've got taste.- I love the turquoise.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Also, you can see, it's the original pencil.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Yeah, OK.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Now, you've got a very good eye. Tell us why you like that.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35Because of that little blue thing in the middle. And it is useful.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38You could use it, absolutely right. The turquoise is lovely.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Lee, have a look at that.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43To be honest with you, I thought it was silver initially,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46until the lady said nine carat, and then my ears did prick up.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Now, what makes this so special is the name -
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Sampson Mordan -
0:13:51 > 0:13:57a real top-flight producer of silver and gold objects.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59That is probably not the original box,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01because that would have come in a fitted box.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04So that pencil would've had a fitted groove cut out of a box,
0:14:04 > 0:14:05and it would fit in perfectly.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Yes.- It is very posh. It is very upmarket.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12I think it's estimate should be 80-120, personally,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- as an auction estimate. - Would you like to buy this?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Because I already had my choice, haven't I?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20If we obviously get it down to the right price, it is worth going for.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- Wouldn't you say so?- Well, shall we ask the lovely lady?
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- What could we do on price? Bear in mind...- I can't do less than one.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31- Really? Bianca, would you pay £100 for it?- I think I would.- Lee?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Listen, David, I said I'd trust you before today, so I'm going
0:14:34 > 0:14:37to trust you both, reluctantly Bianca,
0:14:37 > 0:14:40and we'll...we'll have this for 100.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41OK, well, let's have that.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44This is where the business gets thrilling,
0:14:44 > 0:14:45when you handle objects like that.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- So well done, well bought. - Thank you.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Thank you so much.- Thanks a lot. - Thank you very much.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55The nine carat gold pencil holder is a classy object indeed.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Let's hope the punters are drawn to it at the auction.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- All, it is a little Buddha. A fat Buddha.- Very fat.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09Oh, hang on, it is one of those rude rings. Oh, very rude!
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Oh, wow!
0:15:10 > 0:15:14- It's a tacky little...- Don't look. - Now that is educational!- Blimey!
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- That is so rude...- Oh, my word!
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Oh, dear!- My children might be watching!
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Trust you, Richard(!)
0:15:25 > 0:15:27I can pick them, can't I? I like it, actually.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Let's have a closer look at him. What is he made of? He's very heavy.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Let's have a little look at the underneath without looking at that.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37And I can see... I'm going to have to get my glass out.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- And I am looking at the material. - Right.- Not the design.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Yes, yes, we believe you, Kate.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47I thought at first it might be resin, but it's too heavy.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I think it possibly is soapstone.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- The whole appeal is in his surprise underneath.- It is, yes.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56So, let's just say. How much is that, please?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- 65.- 65, hm.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02This is so rude even the dealer is hiding his face.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05It might be sort of early 20th century in date.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09My...slight misgiving is...
0:16:11 > 0:16:13..how many there are.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- What is the very best you could do? - 45.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- Could you do 40 for us? - Go on, I'll do 40, yeah.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Is it the sort of thing that, you know, appeals to you?
0:16:24 > 0:16:30- Well, what can I say? It's only for the fun of it.- But it is fun.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32People pick it up and do what you did.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- Hee-hee!- A bit of a shock.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- Let's do it.- Yeah.- Oh, he's...
0:16:37 > 0:16:41It's done! Great. Thank you very much.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Buddha's made Kate blush, but will the Blues be blushing
0:16:46 > 0:16:49when it goes to auction? We'll soon see.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51First, every picture tells a story, but with this one,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53you have to look a bit harder.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59My gosh, this is a boring looking picture.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Just the sort of thing that in an antiques fair like this,
0:17:02 > 0:17:07you just walk straight on by. You don't even inquire about the price.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12Well, once upon a time, this picture was a bit brighter.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15It had blue in the sky.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20These jerseys that the couple of sailors are wearing were coloured.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22But it has been hung in the light and, tragically,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24the thing has faded.
0:17:24 > 0:17:30And that could be why this print was marked up at only £25.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32But actually, it is quite interesting.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37If you look at the bottom, it says Box & Cox. And what is that about?
0:17:37 > 0:17:42Well, if you look it up, it was an incredibly popular comic operetta
0:17:42 > 0:17:46that was put to music by Arthur Sullivan,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49the famous composer, in 1866.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54It told the story of two men, one called Box and one called Cox,
0:17:54 > 0:17:58who lived in a room in a boarding house,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01except they didn't know they were sharing a room because when Mr Box
0:18:01 > 0:18:05went out in the morning, Mr Cox came in and lived in the room.
0:18:05 > 0:18:11But what is the relevance of Box & Cox in this particular print?
0:18:11 > 0:18:17Well, the next hint is the painter himself - FC Gould, which
0:18:17 > 0:18:21stands for Francis Carruthers Gould,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23and he was a cartoonist and a satirist.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28And what he's done in this satirical cartoon is not to
0:18:28 > 0:18:32show political characters, but he is showing two
0:18:32 > 0:18:38characters from the most popular of Victorian entertainments -
0:18:38 > 0:18:44the comic opera, because the man on the left is Arthur Sullivan
0:18:44 > 0:18:47and the man on the right is Mr Gilbert.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50They never really got on together, though.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52And if you look at their expressions,
0:18:52 > 0:18:57they are totally and utterly miserable with one another.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01And the date, 1882, is important.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Because at this point in time,
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Gilbert and Sullivan had fallen out big time.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12And it took all the diplomatic skills of D'Oyly Carte,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15their manager, to persuade them to go on.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18And indeed they did, eventually. Isn't that interesting?
0:19:18 > 0:19:23All these facts wrapped up in a particularly dull
0:19:23 > 0:19:25and boring looking cartoon.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30You could easily have walked by it on an outside stall here
0:19:30 > 0:19:33priced up at £25.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37But actually, I think to a Gilbert and Sullivan fan, it is
0:19:37 > 0:19:39worth rather more,
0:19:39 > 0:19:44perhaps a moody £80 to £120. What do you think?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Back to the shopping. How is it going with the Reds, Dave?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54It is all going very well.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57A bit interesting that Lee said in the beginning that he was
0:19:57 > 0:20:00going to pass the responsibility onto Bianca and me,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03but he is making quite a lot of decisions himself in actual fact.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06We have bought some interesting things, and they are decisive,
0:20:06 > 0:20:08and that is the key with this.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11If you muck about, you make no decisions, you end up with no
0:20:11 > 0:20:15time, and then you buy potentially really bad things.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Meanwhile, back with the Blues,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19and someone needs to curb their enthusiasm.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Well, you girls have better have a shout, really,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24because I just want to buy everything.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Come on. - That's very chivalrous of you.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28It's true, that's the trouble.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Come on then, Gilly, let's find something for a lady.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35But look over here.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- Yeah.- These things, this is great! - No!
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- No, something pretty. - Oh, look at that one!
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Come on.- Come on, let's go.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- You like that?- His toys again.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Leave him behind.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Where are they?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Where have they gone? I've lost them.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08Back indoors, the Blues have found something to do with their bread.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09We've got 85 on there.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13The thing about this one is that
0:21:13 > 0:21:16it is made by Sheffield makers
0:21:16 > 0:21:18called William Hutton & Sons.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20It is silver and hallmarked, as it should be.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Now, William Hutton often made pieces designed
0:21:24 > 0:21:25by Christopher Dresser.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29This is very much in the manner of Christopher Dresser,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32with this triangular loophole.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35It is very '30s, very geometric in shape.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- Shall we ask what the best is? - Yes, I think that is a good idea.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Hi there.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43What could you do on the toast rack for us?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- You've got 85 on it.- Yes.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48My very best...is 75.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Richard is shaking his head. - Only on the price.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55I can see it perhaps not making that much.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I'll take off an extra five if it helps.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59So, £70.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Would it have a chance at auction?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05It's not going to make you a huge profit, I don't think,
0:22:05 > 0:22:08but it might have a chance of making you a little one.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Where does it go, here?- Yes.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Walk away, eh, if you're not sure.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26I've got to tell you, I do love that.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29It looks like the '70s, like the brown square.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31It has a '70s look to it...
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Yeah.- ..in a way, so I'm going to give you that,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37but you are a long way out, because this is Art Deco.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Let's have a look. So we've got
0:22:39 > 0:22:45a simple pink bowl with chrome handles, wooden blocks
0:22:45 > 0:22:47and chrome decorative tops.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I mean, it's just fantastic.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52How much do you think it is?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55It's probably a lot more than what I would give for it.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Well, that's a good... What would you give for it?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Well, at a push, £20?
0:23:01 > 0:23:06- 20 quid? OK, fair enough.- I do like it, but I think we should...
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- have a look around for another five minutes.- Well, OK.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15I would dash off with that for 30 quid every day of the week,
0:23:15 > 0:23:17but you want to wait a bit? That's fine.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21I heard you, David, but I don't think the Reds were listening.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26The Blue Team seem to be stuck at the same stall.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33- This is the only other thing, guys. - Yes.- Richard, what do think of that?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- I know it is more a lady's piece. - Yes.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37It is not something I have an opinion about.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- This doesn't do anything for you at all?- No.- Gilly, what do you think?
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- I think it is quite pretty.- Yes, it's Art Deco. It is silver mounted.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- The great thing about it is this stopper.- Yes.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50The lady has said it could be 25.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53I quite like it, I think that would be...
0:23:54 > 0:23:57I see Richard is not in favour of this at all.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58You just don't like it, do you?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01We have basically got, literally, about five minutes.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I would say, it is either this, the toast rack or
0:24:04 > 0:24:08we go back for the lighter, which I know you both really liked.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I do like it, but I am worried about it not making the money.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Well, how about we go back and we say, "Look,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15"we already bought from you, can you do anything more on the price?"
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Let's charge back and try and get the lighter.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24- Shall we run?- Yes, we'll have to. - Quite sure?- Yes.- Yes!
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Run, team, run! Time is slipping away, as the Reds have noticed.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40- See, that I like, behind you, the hourglass.- That? OK.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43I mean, you might tell me to leave it alone straightaway.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45No, I wouldn't say that at all,
0:24:45 > 0:24:49because I love it when, you know, a team
0:24:49 > 0:24:51chooses their objects, because
0:24:51 > 0:24:55actually, it is all about you, your taste, what you are drawn to.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- See, that is beautiful. - OK, tell me why that is beautiful.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03I've always liked timers, and I think it goes back to childhood
0:25:03 > 0:25:05when my mother used to always have one on the side
0:25:05 > 0:25:08when she was cooking.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10And it's just stuck with me. And this is beautiful.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- I really like this. - It is priced at 50 quid.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Is it worth anything to anybody else, apart from myself,
0:25:17 > 0:25:18would you think?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23It's probably... It's useful, practical.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26It might only get an estimate of 20 to 30, 30 to 50.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Um, but it is the sort of oddity that could make good money.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Should we ask the lady to come and talk to us?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- What will be the best price on that one?- What have I got there?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- 50 on it there.- 35.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- OK, so it is £35...or nothing.- Yeah.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44So, I have to ask you the question,
0:25:44 > 0:25:47are we going to have it or are we not going to have it?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- I'll leave it with you two.- Come on.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51No, I said I was going to go with you two at the start.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54OK, I'll choose that for you.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- We've done it, yes? Third item?- Yes.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Well done, you two. Bianca, well done.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Lee, well found. - I'm not sure.- Well found.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- Stick with your conviction, you're all right.- We'll see. Thank you.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08# Love is all that I can give. #
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Where's my kiss?
0:26:11 > 0:26:16# Love is more than just a game for two. #
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Hey, no time for all that.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19The Blues have one minute left,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22will they make it back to the lighter in time?
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Glad you put your flatties on!
0:26:23 > 0:26:25I know, absolutely I did!
0:26:25 > 0:26:28We're going to have to get on our knees and beg.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Yeah, that's...
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- OK, it's still there.- Yes.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Go on, Gilly.- 100.- I can't do it.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40You can't get just a tiny bit below 120?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42115.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43115?
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- Yeah.- We've got 30 seconds. - Brilliant. Thank you very much.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- Thank you.- Thank you so much.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Great, three buys!
0:26:51 > 0:26:54And relax!
0:26:54 > 0:26:59The 60 minutes is up. Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh?
0:26:59 > 0:27:04They got carried away with a carved wooded drinks tray for £75.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09Then they wrote off £100 on a nine carat gold pencil holder.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12And just before time ran out,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15they bought a brass-framed hourglass for £35.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Did you have a good time? - I had a lovely time, thank you.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24A right giggle, it were. So, what is your favourite piece, actually?
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- The hourglass.- The hourglass is your favourite piece, yes?
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- And what about you, Bianca, what is your favourite piece?- My pencil.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35The pencil, very good. Is it going to make the biggest profit?
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Yes, I think so.- Do you reckon? - Yeah, I do, actually.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40You agree with the missus, very sensible.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- And you spent how much in toto?- 210.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47210. I'd like £90 in leftover lolly, please.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Which goes to the other sharp Harper.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- Yes.- Thank you.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54And what you going to spend the £90 on, do you think?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- Something I can't possibly resist, Tim.- Really?
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- That will be irresistible, then, wouldn't it?- Irresistible, yes.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02# That's what you are. #
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Anyway, super-duper. Thank you very much, team.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:28:06 > 0:28:11The Blues had a flash of inspiration with the Strand theatrical
0:28:11 > 0:28:13spotlight for £128.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17They were sitting pretty with the Buddha figure,
0:28:17 > 0:28:19with the saucy secret, for £40.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23And finally, their imagination was fired by the 1950s Jensen
0:28:23 > 0:28:26silver cigarette lighter for £115.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- So, that was good fun, wasn't it? - Great fun. Yes, really good.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Thought you enjoyed it.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36- And how much did you spend in toto? - £283.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Did you really? That is mature.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44Can I have £17 of leftover lolly, please? Thank you, G.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47That's very kind. All together and gathered up.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Now, which is your favourite piece?
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Well, for amusement, possibly the Buddha.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56But actually, I really like the lighter.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59The lighter is your favourite favourite? Do you agree with that?
0:28:59 > 0:29:01- I think I do, yes. - You think you do?- Yes.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03A bit begrudging, but that's fair enough.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06And which bit is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:29:06 > 0:29:08I think the lighter, the George Jensen lighter.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- Do you agree with that, G? - Yeah, I think so.- OK, fine.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14We've got our predictions, that's perfectly fair.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- Now, only £17. - I know.- ..for poor Kate Bliss.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- What are you going to do? - Yeah, what are you going to do?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- What are you going to do? - Hopefully something brilliant.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24- I'm going to go and beg, I think.- Yeah.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Well, you can't steal, so it has to be begging. OK.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Well, good luck with that.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Now, it is time to head to the sale room.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Gosh, I'm looking forward to this.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43We have come to Litchfield, to Richard Winston's sale room,
0:29:43 > 0:29:45to be with Richard Winston.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47- Richard, good morning. - Good morning to you.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52Cracking to be here. Now, this team has gone overboard on its tray.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- That drinks tray really is elaborately carved, isn't it?- It is.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57It doesn't do a lot for me.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00It's one of those things, I don't know what you do with it.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Would you display it? Would you really want to use it?
0:30:02 > 0:30:06We have gone a measly £20 to £30. You like this, don't you?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09I don't know. It is a tour de force, of the carver's art.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11You've chipped away with your old chisel
0:30:11 > 0:30:15and you've created this fantastic dragon. Book.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17God, you've got to admire that, surely.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20I admire it thoroughly, but I just think for the commercial market,
0:30:20 > 0:30:22what are they going to use it for?
0:30:22 > 0:30:23OK, £75 paid.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Next, how do you rate this nine carat gold pencil sleeve with
0:30:27 > 0:30:29the turquoise button? Do you like that one?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32It is the sort of thing that we do see quite a bit come through.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34They do sell well. There it is a good market for it at the price.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36They're going to pay £60 to £80 for it.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Well, we paid £100 for it. So you might just get there on a good day.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Yeah, I'm not surprised they paid that sort of money for it,
0:30:43 > 0:30:45being nine carat, but I'll do well to get there.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50Now, for a personal dislike, we move on to the hourglass,
0:30:50 > 0:30:53which I don't have a lot of time for. Ha(!) Frankly.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56It is the sort of thing we'd have other brass items
0:30:56 > 0:30:58with it just to give it a kick, get it gone.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- A whole box full of the stuff. - OK, so, how much for it on its own?
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- Five, ten pounds?- We put £20 on it. - Did you?- Yeah.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Well, £35 was paid by Lee.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08He loved it, and who knows, he might be right.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12On the other hand, if he is wrong, they're going to need a bonus buy.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15So let's go and have a look at it. Thank you.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19OK, team, £90 of leftover lolly you had, which you gave to Dave.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23And of course, he is renowned for his taste and discrimination
0:31:23 > 0:31:25when presented with a chunky amount of money.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27So, Dave, show us your worst.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29You are absolutely horrible, you know that.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32And you know that I couldn't resist.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37- Yes.- I' so sorry, I must apologize. Tim, it's beautiful!
0:31:37 > 0:31:39It is screaming Art Deco...or something.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43I loved it on the day and I tried to make them buy it.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47- You've seen it before?- We have. - But you refused.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52- David was very happy with it and he has seen potential.- Exactly.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55You know, you have to respect the viewpoint that Art Deco is
0:31:55 > 0:31:57very popular. I mean, these outset handles and the chrome...
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- It's what makes them, Tim.- Exactly.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- The thing is in good condition. - It is.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04How much did you spend on this lovely piece?
0:32:04 > 0:32:08I went back and I got it for 25, from 30 to 25.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11And, you know, for goodness sake, it is a period piece of Art Deco,
0:32:11 > 0:32:13it is oozing style.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15It is not oozing quality, we're not pretending it is,
0:32:15 > 0:32:18but it has got the look, and it is the look for the market today.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20That's what I told her.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Well done! You and I should stick together.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25And how much do you think this is going to bring at auction?
0:32:25 > 0:32:27I think, you know, £20 to £50.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29- OK.- It has got to.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Well, that's sorted that lot out.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Let's find out right now, though, what the auctioneer thinks
0:32:34 > 0:32:36about Dave's bowl.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38Here we are.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41You can see the tinned mandarin oranges being
0:32:41 > 0:32:46opened in suburbia in 1938 and going into a dish like that, can't you?
0:32:46 > 0:32:47You can.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52It's not far what off what they are after, that kind of modern look.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54But it is just a poor quality thing, isn't it?
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Really good quality ones of these are really sought after,
0:32:56 > 0:32:58you know, can really do well.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Well, it came from Woolly's, didn't it?
0:33:00 > 0:33:03It is the Woolly's variety of the expensive one.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Not too bad at all that.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09So, David Harper invested in a very cunning £25.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- So, how much do you think it is going to bring?- £20, 20 to 30.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15OK, fine. Well, spot on. Now, another eclectic mix.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Look, we've got the Strand theatre light,
0:33:19 > 0:33:21which can bring a substantial amount.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26- Yeah, and they are popular. And we've got 80 to 120 on it.- OK.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28£128 was paid.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31And frankly, it is the modern look, isn't it? And quite fun.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- I can see it making... - It's a good gamble, I like that.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Which is a substantially better item than this Buddha.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40I wouldn't even give it house room,
0:33:40 > 0:33:42I think we'd just pass over it as quick as we can.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46- I think they think it was soapstone. It's not, it's resin.- Oh, is it?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- Double checked it out. - Resin is like plastic, really.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Yes, and they come in the millions into the country.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53He's Pu-Tai, isn't he?
0:33:53 > 0:33:57One of those fellows with the big tum-tum representing prosperity.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01- How much?- 20.- £20 on a good day? - Yep.- OK, £40 paid.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04So, as you say, we'll move on quickly from that and go to the
0:34:04 > 0:34:06George Jensen cased table cigarette lighter.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- That is a good item.- Fabulous item. That is a lovely thing.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11- Reasonable condition? - It is, all the way around.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14It has got that old thing, got that look to it.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15It depends what they paid for it.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19We've got a punchy 80 to 100, because it is a quality item.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21It needs to make £115, but it has got the right name,
0:34:21 > 0:34:24that's the thing. Anyway, there we have it. Very good, Richard.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26I think they won't need their bonus buy,
0:34:26 > 0:34:31but let's see what was spent on what.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32Well, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:34:32 > 0:34:35You spent so much cash.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38£283 is a good old number.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41£17, Kate, that was your challenge. What did you find?
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Well, you've got really good taste, Gilly and Richard,
0:34:44 > 0:34:47and you did set me a bit of a challenge to find something
0:34:47 > 0:34:48that came up to your standards.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51And this is what I chose.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54It is, of course, a golfing spoon,
0:34:54 > 0:34:58or the handle is in the shape of a golf club.
0:34:58 > 0:35:03It is fully hallmarked English silver. It dates from 1931.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05It is Mappin & Webb, who I am sure you have heard of.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Very good name, associated with quality.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12It has got a good weight to it, actually. Have a little feel.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- Golfing items, hugely commercial.- Yes.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19There is something engraved in the bowl of the spoon there.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21You are eagle-eyed, Richard.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Little initials, that's what you've got there,
0:35:23 > 0:35:27which I think, actually, is quite a nice little part of its history.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30- Yes.- How much?- How much?- Yes.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33The full 17, I'm afraid.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36I think that will bring a profit.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38- Mm.- 40, 50 quid?- Eh...
0:35:38 > 0:35:41You don't want much, do you, Gilly?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- So, really, Kate, you're predicting a hole in one, are you?- Absolutely.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- Or a birdie.- A birdie. - What are you predicting, though?
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- Well, it ought to make between £20 and £30, I would say.- Perfect.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Well, on that happy note, let's find out
0:35:53 > 0:35:55whether the auctioneer likes the golfing teaspoon.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Well, Richard, you only got £17,
0:36:00 > 0:36:01is that a good buy for £17?
0:36:01 > 0:36:04This is someone who is looking for a little golf club.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- It's sweet, isn't it?- Yes!
0:36:06 > 0:36:09£17, in solid silver, dating from 1931,
0:36:09 > 0:36:13I would say that that is as cheap as a proverbial bag of fried potatoes.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14It has got the golf club on the top,
0:36:14 > 0:36:16which gives it a little bit more to go on.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19We have got 20 to 30 on it, and I'm sure somebody out there...
0:36:19 > 0:36:23At £20 to £30, frankly, it should be just a short putt.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Now it is time to put Richard and our items to the test.
0:36:29 > 0:36:3135. £40. 50.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34£50 down here. At £50 on bid.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Yours at 50.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- Well, kids, you having fun? - A lot of fun.- I know.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Isn't it lovely to be in this crowded sale room? Don't you think?
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Yeah, no, special, special place. Now, moving on, we come to the tray.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49There is the tray. It is tray tres bon.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51And here it comes.
0:36:51 > 0:36:5315. £20, the Internet.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55At £20 on bid.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56The Internet at £20.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- At £20. - Nothing happening in the room.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00Everyone else out.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04Sold, then, at £20...
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- Internet.- £20.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07Well, there we go.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Minus 55.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13OK, now we come to the propelling pencil.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Bids on the book. 20. 30.
0:37:15 > 0:37:1740. 50. 60.
0:37:17 > 0:37:1970 now. 70 bid.
0:37:19 > 0:37:2170 bid with me. Internet, you're out.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23£70. £70 on bid.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- £90 on bid with the Internet.- Yes!
0:37:26 > 0:37:2890 on bid. 90 on bid. At 90.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- Come on!- All done. Sold then at £90.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35It is down to the hourglass to save us.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Yeah, minus ten pounds.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Next up is the hourglass, and here it comes.
0:37:42 > 0:37:4430. 20. 10 up.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46£5 to start me. £5 for the hourglass.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48£5. 6£.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51£8, Internet. £10 in the room.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- I've not lost as much as you pair. - £10 in the room.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56At £10, there at 10...
0:37:56 > 0:37:58I can't bear this. Oh! Back in.
0:37:58 > 0:38:0015. 20.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01The time has come for this.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03On my left at £20. All done.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Sold at 20.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07Your bid, thank you.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- OK.- Minus £15.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13OK, 55, 65... Minus £80.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Things are not as hot as they might have been, Lee.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18I should never have listened to them.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20So, I tell you what, why don't you
0:38:20 > 0:38:22make the decision about the pink bowl?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25I don't think we need to decide anything on that, do we?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- No, you're definitely going to go with it?- Oh, yes.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29I thought you were going to say that.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31It is pink, it is in great condition.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34It probably came from Woolworth's in 1935, and here it comes.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36And it looks jolly good, doesn't it?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Ten to start me, anyway you like.
0:38:38 > 0:38:39£5.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41£5 bid at the very back.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43£6. £7. £8.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- £10. £15.- Go on, go on.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48There at 15. 15. 15.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- £15 on my left.- Come on!- At 15...
0:38:51 > 0:38:55All out. Sold then, £15.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56Ouch.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58£15 is minus £10,
0:38:58 > 0:39:01which takes you neatly to minus £90.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- All right?- Not too bad. - Not too bad, is it, really?
0:39:04 > 0:39:11- No, we did really well.- Universally bad result on absolutely every item.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- Do we get a badge for that? - No, you don't.- That could be good.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17We don't have losers anymore, we only have runners-up, all right?
