0:00:02 > 0:00:05There are many famous castles across this fair land.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09Windsor, Edinburgh, Roy. Heh!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12And today, we have come to Grimsthorpe Castle,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15so let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:41 > 0:00:44They say that an Englishman's home is his castle,
0:00:44 > 0:00:49well, today we are making ourselves right at home here
0:00:49 > 0:00:55at Grimsthorpe Castle. But will it be domestic bliss or marital mayhem?
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Let's take a quick peek as to what is coming up.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03It's a battle of the sexes where the Reds are anything but serious.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05A parachute there I could buy the wife.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06No.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08It's not really going to plan.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10And the Blues are just so excitable.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12THEY CHEER
0:01:12 > 0:01:14She's off again!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Let's meet the teams, eh?
0:01:16 > 0:01:22On today's show we've got a team with an opposing husband and wife,
0:01:22 > 0:01:26each of whom have chummed up with a golfing buddy.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29And for the Reds, we've got Lewis and Simon.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32For the Blues we've got Di and Di. Hello everyone.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- All: Hello!- Hello, hello.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Now, Lewis, Simon is not only your buddy, he is also your boss.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Yeah.- What exactly do you do, Lewis?
0:01:40 > 0:01:46We are green keepers at Kennett Park. We cut the grass.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Do you like cutting grass? - Yeah, it's good, yeah.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53- I get on my mower for eight or nine hours.- Do you really?- Yeah.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55You are also a handy golfer yourself?
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- Well, yeah.- What do you mean, "Yeah"? What is your handicap?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Two.- I rest my case.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- So you get to practise a bit? - Yeah, not as much as I should.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Really?- Yeah.- You think you could be really good if you got time?
0:02:07 > 0:02:08I could be, yeah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- There you are. Now, Simon, you are the big boss.- I am.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14So if those greens aren't playable and they are having a competition
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- then the buck stops with you? - It does.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Do you go round with a pair of nail scissors
0:02:18 > 0:02:21and shave the grass around the hole and all that stuff?
0:02:21 > 0:02:22A pair of nail scissors and a stick.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26When they are not working they get a little remainder to do a bit.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I think you are going to have a fantastic time today.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32How are you going to get on with the negotiation, seriously?
0:02:32 > 0:02:33I think I'll be the soft touch.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35But this one here will bargain the price down.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37He's that big, isn't he?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Give them a good thump on the top of their head if they don't play ball.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Is that right? Anyway, very good. Good luck, chaps.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Meanwhile, moving on to some of the better halves.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Di, Simon is your husband. Why are you in competition today?
0:02:51 > 0:02:55He came home from work one day and he was really excited.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58He said, "We've got an audition to be on Bargain Hunt." And I went,
0:02:58 > 0:03:02"Oh, great! That's fantastic! That's wonderful!"
0:03:02 > 0:03:04And he goes, "Not with you, love, with Lewis."
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Oh, no!- I said, "I'm not having that!"
0:03:07 > 0:03:11So I applied with a friend to be on the show.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Isn't that marvellous!
0:03:13 > 0:03:16You like to do a bit of ballroom dancing, don't you, Di?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Yes, yes. We go regularly.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22We go ballroom dancing. We like a bit of rumba or cha-cha-cha.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Do you?- Waltz. Quickstep.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27We could make a bit of a music thing happen if you wanted to give us
0:03:27 > 0:03:30a little dancing display. Do you want to do that?
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Yes, go on.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Go on, give us a little dancing. Your special moves.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38OK, here we are. How does the tune go? You have to hum the tune.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42BOTH: # You're just too good to be true
0:03:42 > 0:03:45# I can't take my eyes off of you... #
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Oh, look at that!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48# You feel like heaven to touch
0:03:48 > 0:03:50# I wanna hold you so much... #
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- LAUGHTER - That is magnificent!
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Entirely unrehearsed. Very, very good. Wasn't that good, Di?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Very good!- Di, it says here that you are retired.- Yes.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02What do you get up to to keep out of trouble?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- Play golf mostly.- Do you?- Mostly.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05THEY LAUGH
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- A bit of charity work as well. - Do you?- Yes, yes.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09What did you do before you retired?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13I was PA to my late husband in a chartered accountants' office.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Were you?- Yes.- So you can keep your tab on the money then?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- I try.- Very good.- I will try.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Are you going to agree on some tactics, you two Dis?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Yes, we are going to beat the men.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26You are going to beat the men
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- but are you going to spend all the money?- No.- We'll be careful.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32OK. Right, we will see what happens. Fascinating stuff.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36The £300 moment. Here comes your £300. There is £300.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Very, very, very good luck. I'd say slow, slow, quick, quick, slow.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Which experts are here to provide counsel?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Helping the Reds sniff out a profit, it's Jonathan Pratt.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56And pointing the Blues to a bargain, it's Anita Manning.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01So, Reds, you are both keen golfers.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03What do you think you are going to buy today?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Something wacky and unusual.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Something wacky. Is that a golfing term?
0:05:07 > 0:05:08It is the way I play it.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Girls, we've got 300 quid and we've got a huge fair.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15What do you fancy buying?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Jewellery. Sparkly.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19That's music to my ears!
0:05:19 > 0:05:20BELL RINGS
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Come on, guys, there is loads here. Let's get looking.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Right, sparkly is what we are looking for, girls.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33The stakes are high, so it could be a serious affair today.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35My eyes are obviously close together.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36OK, maybe not.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Oh, no, there we are, they fold. Good. Thank God for that.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Boys will be boys, eh?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Don't lose sight of the task in hand though, chaps.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- You getting all excited?- Yes, I am.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46She's away.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I'm shopping!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I don't expect you to have ever seen one of those before.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52THEY LAUGH Not that old, no.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I remember one auctioneer once saying to customer,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58"Oh, I've got a Singer sewing machine. What do I do with it?"
0:05:58 > 0:06:00And he said, "I can tell by your shoes you are a sailing man.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03"Tie a chain to it and chuck it over the side of your boat."
0:06:04 > 0:06:07A great wee Scottish brooch there.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10It's awful nice of you girls to have chosen a Scottish thing.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I don't know why you did that but it is nice.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17We've got a wee amethyst coloured stone here.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21We have the rapier with...
0:06:22 > 0:06:25..it's like a piece of amber inside.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29It's nice. I actually think that this is silver.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Wow!
0:06:30 > 0:06:34If we have wee look, we can see that hallmark there.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Often these were made in Birmingham or Chester.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Uh-huh. This one was made in Birmingham,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41although it's a Scottish brooch.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46Scottish jewellery has a great appeal within the salerooms.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- I think it's really sweet. - It is sweet.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- A nice thing.- Yeah. - A nice thing.
0:06:50 > 0:06:56The price on it is £38. I think we should keep it in mind.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57- OK.- OK.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Keep it in mind. It's a nice thing and it has good elements in it.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Thank you very much.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- That was a good start. - It's a good start.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06We are going to have to just dive in on things.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09There's an old parachute there I could buy the wife.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10HE LAUGHS Yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Is that really a parachute? - We can see if it works.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Demo only.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16That doesn't sound overly good.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18There is no guarantee it will work.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Best not to let it go to the wife then really. Just in case.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Just in case. - Just in case it doesn't work.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Just in case it works.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Now, now, chaps.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30What we were looking for really,
0:07:30 > 0:07:35have you got a nice carat solitaire for about 200 quid?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36THEY LAUGH
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Blues, if you don't ask, you don't get.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Now, Reds, are you still joking about?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44That is the runway light.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46That is pretty cool.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Can you imagine a loft apartment or something that as your main...
0:07:50 > 0:07:53If you had it hanging from the ceiling.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- This is his wacky ideas. - This is all right, innit.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57How much is it?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- MAN:- Very, very best would be 400.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Oh man!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I think, on that note, we have to say that we can't afford it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05That's a real shame.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08It's a cool thing. It is designed to flip over, is that right?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Yes, what would happen is, there would be a guy standing at each
0:08:11 > 0:08:14one and they would flip them over as the plane came in.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- As soon as the plane had landed, they put them down again.- OK, OK.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Bombing the airport. - Oh, yeah, of course.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21All very interesting but we can't afford it anyway.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Thanks very much. We'll move on.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27OK, teams, 15 minutes gone. Time to start buying maybe.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28If I see it, I'll know.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31The Blues are still smitten with something from earlier.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- You are really keen on that brooch, aren't you?- I am.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Let's just go and get it and that will be our first item.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Yeah, great.- Are you going to do a bit of bartering?
0:08:40 > 0:08:41I'm going to try.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44OK, let's go. You can do it, Di.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46That's it, Anita,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49send the two Dis off to do the deal with the shy dealer.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I just couldn't resist sending them back again
0:08:52 > 0:08:54because I think they just fell in love with the brooch.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59And if you fall in love with something, you've got to have it.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02LAUGHING
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Is that a smile of triumph?
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- They said 24.- It was 38 and he is saying 24. He paid 22.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Go for it, girls. You fell in love with it, didn't you?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- I loved it. Yeah, I must say.- Yeah?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Indulge yourself.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Well done, girls. First buy in under 20 minutes.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Boys, are you taking things more seriously?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- So you quite like this? - Yes, it's nice.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28You've got a horseshoe-shaped base. It's part lacquer.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29When you've got black lacquer on it,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32it sort of puts it to the late 19th century.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Earlier ones tend to be all lacquered brass.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38The older the better of these things. Name counts for a lot.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40It's a great idea. 65 is not a lot of money.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43You are not going to see a big profit though.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Rock on then. - Yes, we will leave it.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50At last, chaps, a clear decision. Long may it continue.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51What's that, mate?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I don't know really. Looks all right, doesn't it?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56The guys are indecisive.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59But they are having a bit of a giggle whilst they do it.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I'll be interested to see what they come up with, I have to say.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Back in business, the Blues are onto another bit of silver.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09It is commemorating the silver wedding of the
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Queen and Prince Philip.
0:10:11 > 0:10:161972. Limited edition of 1,000.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- So?- It's unusual.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22It's £40, is that right?
0:10:22 > 0:10:23- MAN:- It is, yes.
0:10:23 > 0:10:2640. Is that the best you can do on that?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28To give you a deal, 35.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Right, uh-huh. Is the little quaich silver as well?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Yes.- How much is this one?
0:10:35 > 0:10:36- That's 50.- Uh-huh.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37What is it?
0:10:37 > 0:10:42It's a little drinking cup. You have these vessels which we call quaichs.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46They are Scottish items where you had a handle like that on each side.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49A little bit of whisky would be put in it
0:10:49 > 0:10:51and it would be passed around at a wedding.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52A little cup type thing.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56It had to be filled quite regularly, I'll tell you that.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00It's a nice little vessel. It has got a reasonable weight.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02What's the price of that, please?
0:11:02 > 0:11:06£40. To give you a chance. To make sure you get a profit.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- That's my best.- Take it, girls.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10It's £48 worth of scrap.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I think that's a blooming bargain, girls.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14THEY CHEER
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- She's off again.- Are you off again?
0:11:16 > 0:11:21You've made all these women very happy. Thank you very much.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24What an agreeable dealer. Siding with the girls. Sensible bloke.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29Now, whilst our teams shop on, join me for a quick time-out.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Ah, isn't this marvellous!
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Are you sitting comfortably? I am.
0:11:44 > 0:11:50In front of the most glorious Grade-1 star mansion in these parts.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Grimsthorpe Castle, up the way.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56And it's not the only magnificent thing around here.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Because beside me
0:11:58 > 0:12:03is a wee timepiece that is extremely fine in its own right.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07In an overall glance, what grabs you?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11It is, of course, the bright and very distinct blue
0:12:11 > 0:12:14and white earthenware plaques that are set into the case.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16They are gorgeous, aren't they?
0:12:16 > 0:12:20They are clear as gin, along with the numerals on the dial.
0:12:20 > 0:12:26These Arabic numerals were designed by a man called Lewis Foreman Day.
0:12:26 > 0:12:32And he lived between 1845 and 1910.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Among the many things that he was associated with across his life
0:12:36 > 0:12:41was a new alphabet and some new numerals,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44of which these are an example.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48They've got little curly Qs on the bottom of the fives.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51There is a special tick that goes to form
0:12:51 > 0:12:55the top of each of the ones as you go around the dial.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58And it is emblematic of a period
0:12:58 > 0:13:02in art history known as the Aesthetic Movement.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04If I turn this thing round,
0:13:04 > 0:13:09the movement inside, as a timepiece, is incredibly simple.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13The clockmaker has produced something, frankly, that was cheap.
0:13:13 > 0:13:19Anyway, what we have here is an object that sums up what was
0:13:19 > 0:13:22important about the Aesthetic Movement.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Which was how to make art
0:13:24 > 0:13:27and beautiful objects affordable for the masses.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29And believe it or not,
0:13:29 > 0:13:34you could buy a timepiece like this for as little as £80.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Now that just has to be truly aesthetic.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44So, at 2-0, the Reds are making a meal of their shop
0:13:44 > 0:13:46and the Blues are making this look easy.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48That's my shopping done for the day.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- No, no, no, no, no! - THEY LAUGH
0:13:52 > 0:13:54We've had half an hour and we've not bought anything.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57It's not really going to plan.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- I actually thought we would have finished by now.- Yeah.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02The wife will still be walking around panicking
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- and I think we will be panicking... - Do you think she will be?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- She'll still be panicking. - That's reassuring.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08If only they knew!
0:14:08 > 0:14:12With the larking about over, are the Reds finally in a buying mood?
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- I like that.- Yeah, I quite like that. - That's all right.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18It's got 30 quid on it.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19That's not bad, is it?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21SHARP INTAKE OF BREATH
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It's not terribly old. Frankly.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27But it's novelty value. Where would you put it?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30The boys' room in the garage. Fill it up of lager and...
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- What do you think, mate? - I like that.- Yeah?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Let's grab this lady here.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Can we ask you how much you would do this for?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42You've got on at the moment...
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- WOMAN:- I can do 25.- £25.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50There is no chance of anything less than that?
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Can you not do 20?
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- I can do 23.- How much do you like it?- We are going to buy it.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- I've got to make a little bit on it. - I think we are going to get it.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Yeah, I think so. - We've got to buy something.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- They've got to buy something. - HE LAUGHS
0:15:02 > 0:15:03- No pressure.- 23.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Thank you.- That's fine.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07That's one down.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10And my heart-rate has started to slow down a little bit now.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Don't relax too much, JP. 25 minutes to get another two items.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Oh, Di.
0:15:17 > 0:15:191920s Carlton Ware.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Carlton Ware is good.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26And Carlton Ware made a big range of items from the very,
0:15:26 > 0:15:30very expensive lusterware down to the more...
0:15:32 > 0:15:38..it's almost like an understated glaze and finish.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42All of the Carltons, all the ranges have become popular.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Is it still as popular nowadays?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- It's gone off the boil just a wee, wee touch.- How much is it, Di?
0:15:47 > 0:15:48105.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- You can think about it. - We'll think about it.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53There is that bronze near the boots.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I don't know if that's got any more age to it, has it?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Men will buy that. Men will buy that.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01MAN: Men will buy what?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03LADIES: No, no, no!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05SHOUTING JOKILY
0:16:05 > 0:16:06How are you getting on, love?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08We are doing really, really well.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11The guys have just managed to buy their first item.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13THEY LAUGH
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Just taking their time.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16They are looking at the quality and the condition.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Making sure that everything is up to spec before they buy it.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24- Good thinking. Three guys against three gals. No chance.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26THEY LAUGH
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Absolutely not.- That's a red rag to a bull, that is, isn't it?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- On that note, come on, guys. - Let's go buy that parachute.- Yeah.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34THEY LAUGH
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I think the Blues won that face-off, don't you?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38They look worried.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Hmm, they weren't joking about the parachute.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Perfect.- It fits nicely? - Yeah, it's perfect.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Take it then. Absolutely.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Might I remind you of the time, boys? 40 minutes gone.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52Go and ask the lady. Make an offer. And see what you can do.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Best you can do.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56The Blues, meanwhile, are having a language lesson.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Anita Manning-style.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- That's a really old marble, isn't it? - Yes, it is. Uh-huh.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02And that one.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Do you know what we call them in Scotland?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Jawries.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Jawies?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10THEY LAUGH
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Spelled?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14No, it's not a word you would spell.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Jawries.- Jawries?- Jawries?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Jawries!
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Jawries.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22I'm wasting my time here.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24THEY LAUGH
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I'm not from the North!
0:17:27 > 0:17:31I know these are all modern but I like the tin cos it's old.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35And look at the price. Marbles in tin - £10.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Do you think she has lost her marbles?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40No, I've just found them!
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Oh, Di!
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- You are not keen, are you, Di? - Well...
0:17:45 > 0:17:46You fancied a bit of glassware.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49THEY LAUGH
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Back with the boys who have been haggling with a shy stallholder.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Do you want to go for a tonne on it? It's a real punt.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57I'd like to go just under the tonne.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00If we could go 95 that would be definite.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- WOMAN:- OK, we will do 95.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Go on, shake the lady's hand. Novelty value. Thank you very much.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07All right, that's a big spend. 95 quid.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Who knows what's going to happen?
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Right, Reds, with ten minutes left you are level with those Blues
0:18:12 > 0:18:14who are looking at more glassware.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- That's beautiful!- That's nice.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Isn't it?- What's the price?
0:18:18 > 0:18:2065.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Oh, what do you think?
0:18:22 > 0:18:23What do you think?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25It's solid.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Of its type, it's good and it's quality.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31You've got various different cuts here.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36- What I always like to see on the base is some detail.- Solid.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- To know that somebody has taken care over it.- Right.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43So it's another indication of quality.
0:18:43 > 0:18:51If you had to buy that in a posh shop, it might cost you £200-£300.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52- MAN:- Yeah.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54OK. But...
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Oh, oh, oh!- She's off! She's off!
0:18:56 > 0:19:03- But you have to weigh it up with how popular it would be today.- Yes.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08Having said that, if you pick that up and start looking at it,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11it will be recognised as quality.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Your best price on that would be...?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Best price...
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I'll do 20% off it. £13.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23£13. So that's 52.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Could you stretch to 50? Please.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Yes.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31THEY CHEER
0:19:31 > 0:19:33You want to go for that, girls?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35It's this or the marbles.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36THEY LAUGH
0:19:36 > 0:19:37I like the marbles.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- I think so.- On you go.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Yeah, we'll go for it. Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- I will wrap it for you. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:19:45 > 0:19:51Girls, wonderful! We have got our three items, three lovely items.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- I think we deserve a cup of tea now. - Definitely.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Let's go!
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Great stuff, girls. Enjoy your cuppa.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Boys, there's less than five minutes left.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- You don't like these?- No. Let's go and get something big. Crack on.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Right. Let's go straight to the tent, then. Come on, guys.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Um...
0:20:11 > 0:20:13What about that? Can you not buy that?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Are you not allowed to buy that?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- We've got just last than a minute left. You quite like that.- Yeah.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- It's unusual, isn't it? What can you make out on that?- Gee-whiz.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26It is a standard yard. What is the purpose of the standard yard?
0:20:26 > 0:20:31The Weights and Measure Department would check, for example, you now,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- yardsticks that are used for measuring cloth in the market.- OK.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- To check to see it was exactly a yard.- OK.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40If we have got a minute, I think that... Would you like that?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Get the best price.- What can you do that for?- 100.- 100?- Yeah.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Not even 90? Come on.
0:20:45 > 0:20:4795.
0:20:47 > 0:20:4892.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- DEALER LAUGHS - Go on, then.- 92? Yeah?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Yeah.- Thank you. - Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Well...
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- What have you bought? - I have no idea.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03How quackers is this? Time is up.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06I think I've got my work cut out to try and make a profit for you
0:21:06 > 0:21:07guys in my expert buy. Let's go.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I need as much time as I can get to buy it, I can tell you.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Now, let's catch up with what the Red team bought, eh?
0:21:14 > 0:21:19After 35 minutes, they bought the modern glazed sherry barrel for £23.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24The demo parachute was picked up and put on for £95.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26And with seconds to go,
0:21:26 > 0:21:30they paid £92 for the brass standard yard measure.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Well, that's unbelievable, ten seconds to go!- Yeah, plenty of time.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Are you normally like this when you're mowing the greens?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Yes, yes.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43A close shave, anyway. Now, tell me, which is your favourite item?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45My favourite item is the parachute.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47The parachute is your favourite item.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Very good. You'll need a parachute today?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- I think we will, yes.- Yeah... Which is your favourite piece?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I like the parachute, but not the price we bought it at.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59OK, so which piece is going to bring the biggest profit, Lewis?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Probably that little barrel thing. - Little barrel.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04OK, that's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Do you agree with that? - I think the parachute again.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Oh, dear. And how much did you spend in total, you two?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- £210.- That's a splendid amount of money.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Now, £90 of leftover lolly, please. Thank you.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17That's going straight to JP. Did you have a good time, JP?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19I had really good fun, a good laugh.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Because his wife, Di, is on the other team,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24just see if he can dig a hole.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26And they dug a hole.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Now, with that leftover lolly, it's going to be your opportunity
0:22:28 > 0:22:31to try and get them out of the hole, JP, so there is no pressure.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33I've got something in mind.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I've seen something, a bit of a boy's toy,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- and I think they'll like it. - Brilliant. Thank you very much, JP.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Right now, though, why don't we find out what the Blue team brought, eh?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44They fell in love with the silver stag's head
0:22:44 > 0:22:47and sword bar brooch, paying £24.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Next, they passed around the George V silver drinking
0:22:50 > 0:22:52vessel for £40.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55And finally, for £50,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58they decided on the mid-20th-century cut-glass vase.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Now, Di-Di... How much did you spend, darlings?
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- 114.- £114.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Then I want £186.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- All right.- Please, £186.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- 180-something-or-other.- 185... - And there is my one.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18- That is a lot of money, isn't it? - It is.- 186 of leftover lolly.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I can see Anita getting quite a kick.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- THEY LAUGH - So, Di, tell me,
0:23:23 > 0:23:24which is your favourite piece?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26It was a late-19th-century,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29early-20th-century little silver brooch.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31And it had a little Scottish theme.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33And, Di, what did you think was your favourite?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36A 1929 silver drinking vessel.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38OK, those are your favourites.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40And will your drinking vessel bring the biggest profit?
0:23:40 > 0:23:45- I would think so.- Yes.- You think so? - We do.- There you go, Anita.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- That is a lot of cash. - It is a lot, a lot of money.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52The girls are shopaholics. They are wild!
0:23:52 > 0:23:53A wild pair of shopaholics.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55And the most enormous fun.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Not quite sure what I am going to get yet, but there are pointers.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Yes.- Oh!- OK, pointers, hints,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04fun, Anita -
0:24:04 > 0:24:06anything could happen.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Thank you very much. And you won't have to wait long,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11cos we're about to head off to the auction.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Well, we popped down from Grimsthorpe
0:24:20 > 0:24:24to just outside Derby to be with Charles Hanson.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Very nice to be here.- Welcome.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Now, Charles, Lewis and Simon went with this sherry barrel.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34It is what it is, really, a little sherry dispenser with a chrome tap.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38An object which, hopefully, arouses interest for what it represents.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- It is not going to be worth a great deal.- No.- Just a bit of fun.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- How much?- We put a guide price on...
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Again, I think we are being really,
0:24:44 > 0:24:48really mean because the sherry ought to be rich
0:24:48 > 0:24:51and it ought to really rise. And our guide price - £20 to £30.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Doesn't matter, £23 was paid. - OK, good.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- So they paid the right price.- Good.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Now we move from the sublime to the ridiculous, which is a parachute.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00It is a demonstration jobbie.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- Who is going to buy that? - Tim, do you know what? My concern...
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I said to my colleagues, "Who is our end buyer?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09"Who can we market this object to to really make it make some money?"
0:25:09 > 0:25:15Because, to me, it could hang loose in a sale and really fall very flat.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Now, what is your estimate? - Oh, Tim, we just do not know.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20I don't know what is going to make.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- We've gone in with a guide price of £10-£15.- Is that all?
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Absolutely.- Well, I wouldn't know either, but they paid £95.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- They haven't!- They did.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32I think they got a bit carried away.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Last item, another rarity, I have to say, is this incredibly
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- beautifully crafted measure for our standard yard.- Yeah.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43It's gilded. The standard yard measure.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48But of course, it represents a historical stance
0:25:48 > 0:25:52on trading standards and measures and all of that.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56And I suspect this one is circa... I suppose pre-Second World War.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- 1940.- It is almost a scientific instrument, but not quite. Yeah.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02What is the estimate, then, Charles?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Tim, we have been quite cautious, to be kind,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07and the guide price is between £30 and £50.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Well, they paid £92 for it.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13And if it all goes horribly wrong, what with the parachute
0:26:13 > 0:26:16and the measure - and it could go seriously, horribly wrong - they
0:26:16 > 0:26:20are going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Well, chaps, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24You spent magnificently £210.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28You had £90 of leftover lolly. JP, what did you buy?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Well, I thought I'd go for something masculine.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32A pocket watch.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36But not a simple pocket watch. It is silver cased, enamelled dial.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39But hidden behind the handle, is Omega.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42It is made by the Omega firm in Switzerland,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44who are precision watchmakers.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46This was made circa 1900.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49But nicely produced. The dial is in nice condition.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53And in the back there, it says that it got gold medal in circa 1900.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55So, you know, it gives you the little date marker.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58And you can see inside, the movement,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01which will tick away if you ask it to.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03There we are. Nice little thing, I think, anyway.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- What do you think, though? - Yeah, it's great.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07- It's a really good thing. - Yeah, very nice.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- What did you pay for it?- £90.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- So you spent all the leftover lolly. - Was that all...?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- It was all the leftover lolly. - Exactly.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16You spent every single penny.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18How much profit do you think it will make?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- My feeling is it is worth £100 to £150.- OK.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24You know, if it weren't by Omega, it'd be worth £40, £30.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27You know, the Omega name - Omega movement - will give it some welly.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- OK.- OK. But right now, for the audience at home,
0:27:30 > 0:27:34let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the pocket watch.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Well, this is rather fun, Charles. - Tim, do you know what?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39The Swiss were wonderful people, weren't they? And they are.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- Certainly.- Wonderful people.- Cheese. - Absolutely.- Chocolate.- And Omega.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- Or Om-ega.- Watches.- And this, Tim, is in wonderful condition.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Obviously, we look at that prestigious name, Omega.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54It is a name that goes back to 1848.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57This one, having had the back open,
0:27:57 > 0:28:02we can see it also carries a mark which represents its,
0:28:02 > 0:28:06I suppose, vitality at the Paris Exhibition of 1900.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- So it sings, Tim.- Yes. - It could really move.- How much?
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Our guide price is between £30 and £40.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16But I wouldn't be surprised to see it double
0:28:16 > 0:28:18if not triple expectations.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- So it could make £120. - Yes, it could.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- It needs to cos JP paid £90.- Right.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Anyway, that is it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30- OK, they've gone with the stag's head brooch.- Yes.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32A little sword bar brooch,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35but marked in Birmingham. It is not Glaswegian.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37It is not hallmarked Edinburgh.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40But it is just a pretty object which hopefully will appeal to
0:28:40 > 0:28:42- our Scottish friends.- Good. OK, what is your estimate?
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- We put a guide price on it of between £10 and £15.- OK, £24 paid.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- And it is bound to make £24.- Yes.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52Moving on, I think that is a sommelier's taster, don't you?
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Yes, I do, Tim. It has a wonderful weight as well.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57- Yeah.- The gauge of silver is superb.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- That has a great thumb piece on it. - It is.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03It is a thick gauge silver. It is very clearly marked.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05What is your estimate?
0:29:05 > 0:29:08We put a guide price on it between 40 and 60.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10I wouldn't be surprised if it makes £80 or £90.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- Brilliant, because our team only paid £40.- Wow, good.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- £40 retail was cheap enough for that, wasn't it?- Cheap.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20OK, and finally, we have got the chunkiest of chunky,
0:29:20 > 0:29:23chunky cut-glass vases I think I've ever seen.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24That is amazing, isn't it?
0:29:24 > 0:29:28- Tim, you just need to feel the nature of the cut.- Yeah.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31The weight of the body of this vase.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33It is 20th century.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35I say to collectors, Tim, "If you want to buy quality,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38"buy glassware, buy cut crystal."
0:29:38 > 0:29:40We have it in abundance, don't make it anymore.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42And it is so inexpensive.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45So we have put a guide price on of between ten and £15.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- And that is sad, isn't it? - It is sad. But on the other hand,
0:29:48 > 0:29:50I think it is the right estimate because £50 is what the team...
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- Oh, no... 15?- 50.- Oh, no!
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- They paid 50. And they paid the wrong price, that's all.- Yes.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59That's easy. But what it does, it means they are probably going to
0:29:59 > 0:30:01need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03OK, Di-Di, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:30:03 > 0:30:07You only spent £114 and you gave Anita 186.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10And Anita has got an armful there.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- She does.- Let me help you out now.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17We will whoop the cloth off like that, revealing...
0:30:18 > 0:30:23My wonderful girls were mad shopaholics.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27And I thought what better for a couple of shopaholics
0:30:27 > 0:30:32than this wonderful Parisian-type hatbox?
0:30:32 > 0:30:34I'm going to help you out because...
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- We perhaps ought to reveal what is inside?- Yes. So as well as that...
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- Oh, no!- Fabulous!
0:30:40 > 0:30:43That's great!
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Not the marbles...
0:30:45 > 0:30:50The girls agonised over buying these wonderful marbles,
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- agonized over it.- Oh, no!
0:30:53 > 0:30:56And when I was buying the bonus buy, I thought,
0:30:56 > 0:30:59"I have got to do it, I have got to do it!"
0:30:59 > 0:31:00So what have we got?
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Millions!
0:31:06 > 0:31:11- I loved them.- She loved it. - I did, I love them. I adore them.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Oh, Anita, that is marvellous, absolutely marvellous.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17So hang on a minute, we have got this multiple purchase...
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- How much, Anita?- £17.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20Oh, wow!
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Bound to make money on that.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26It will need somebody with a wee bit of imagination
0:31:26 > 0:31:28and it will bring a smile to their face.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- OK, girls.- Absolutely, thank you. - There you go.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32For the audience at home,
0:31:32 > 0:31:36let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's marbles.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- OK, Charles, this will confuse you.- Wow-wee, Tim,
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- another day shopping in Paris?- No.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42We have got a Parisian-looking hatbox, right?
0:31:42 > 0:31:45And inside it, a biscuit tin.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47If I tip that up like that,
0:31:47 > 0:31:50and we tip out the biscuit tin like that...
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- Whoosh.- Crikey me, Tim. What a peculiar lot.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57I mean, they are not modern, are they? There are old.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- 1920s, '30s, that type of thing. - Yes, Tim.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03You can see the wear and tear on the exteriors of the marbles.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06You have got some oddballs in here as well. Literally, odd balls.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- Like these bigger marbles.- Yeah.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12I think, Tim, my favourite item of the ensemble is probably
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- the little tin.- Do you?
0:32:14 > 0:32:18Because that tin, I suppose, captures the age of the Art Nouveau
0:32:18 > 0:32:20but in fact is more like 1920s, '30s.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22That is quite nice.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25The marbles, Tim, dare I say it, they are two a penny.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- OK. What is your estimate? - Tim... Oh, dear.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33I want to see them go, so the guide price is between £10 and £15.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Well, of course, Anita - she knows her marbles, right?
0:32:36 > 0:32:37She spent £17.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Yes, OK.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42And the ultimate decision will, of course, happen in the auction.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- And you'll be there, wielding your hammer in a minute.- Yeah.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I can't wait, Tim, I will be intrigued to see what
0:32:48 > 0:32:49they will bring.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- Well, thank you very much, Charles, and good fun.- Thank you.- Great.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56£10. Good morning, sir. I've got 12. 15. 18.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58One more do we have?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- Simon, Lewis, how are you feeling? - Very comfortable.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- Are you very comfortable?- Certainly am.- Typical golfers, right?
0:33:04 > 0:33:08You know, you're looking forward, everything is going to be all right.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11First up is the sherry barrel. Here it comes.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16There we are, a modern blue glazed shaped barrel and cover
0:33:16 > 0:33:19with gilt lettering on, Brown and Pank's.
0:33:19 > 0:33:24Where do we start this lot? Well, I have got two commission bids here.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29- Oh!- And I can start at 12, 15, 18, 22 and I am bid.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31I am asking 25 now.
0:33:31 > 0:33:3325, 28, 30.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- Hey!- I'm out.
0:33:36 > 0:33:3830 I'm bid, do I see? For this wonderful barrel.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- Wonderful barrel.- 30 I'm bid.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45I'm out. Bid me two. I sell to a lady.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Congratulations, it is yours for £30 today. All done.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Now that's a barrel of fun.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54OK, plus £7.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Very good. Well done, chaps.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57- Lot 118.- The parachute.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01It's a 1970s parachute pack
0:34:01 > 0:34:03in green and grey cloth,
0:34:03 > 0:34:05inscribed to the reverse
0:34:05 > 0:34:07"Demo Only".
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- LAUGHING - There we are.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12We haven't tried it out. Please don't try it at home.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15There we are. And I've got a number of bids.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19And I can start... 15, 18, 20, 30.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Give me 35. 30 I'm bid.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Surely a fiver. 30, I'll take 32 then.
0:34:24 > 0:34:2732 online. Internet bid, 32.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30- I'm asking 35. Bid me a fiver... - Look out.- ..or I shall sell.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32All done. Fair warning.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35At £32...
0:34:35 > 0:34:37It's over.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Minus 63, that's a big old minus, isn't it?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Never mind, never mind.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43We're at minus 56.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47Circa 1940, by BH Bell of London.
0:34:47 > 0:34:52Wonderfully made, a real work of art from a bygone age of measures.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54And I'm bid here. I've got...
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Two bids, both at £30.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01Take me out, five. £30, I'll take five now.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Five now. 35 I'm bid.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05I'm asking eight now, takes my bid.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Give me eight. Surely one more.
0:35:08 > 0:35:1140 online, do I see five now?
0:35:11 > 0:35:12- 45, 50.- We're off.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- There's a spell.- 45 on the net.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17I will now say going, going...
0:35:17 > 0:35:21All done at £45.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Minus 103. Minus 103. Well, it doesn't sound too bad, does it?
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Not when you say it like that, Tim.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28What are we going to do about this Omega watch?
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- Oh, we're definitely going to go for it.- Do you agree with that?
0:35:31 > 0:35:32- Yeah.- OK, lovely.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35OK, we're hoping against hope,
0:35:35 > 0:35:36and here it comes.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39There we are, a wonderful early-20th-century
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Omega pocket watch
0:35:41 > 0:35:45in a... It is a silver marked case.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I can start this Omega off at £45.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51It is silver. 45 is my commission. 50.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Five, 60.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55I'm out. £60 I'm bid.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56- Come on!- Come on!
0:35:56 > 0:35:59£65, I'm asking five now.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01We need a bit of luck.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Five. 70, 70.
0:36:03 > 0:36:08Online, do I see five now? Fair warning. You're out online.
0:36:08 > 0:36:14You're in, sir, in the saleroom. It's yours. All done, we are at £70.
0:36:14 > 0:36:20£70 is minus £20. Not to fret, it's minus 123.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Now, minus 123 could be a winning score.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26It's been bad luck, I have to say.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Anyway, go out and put your best stroke forward.
0:36:36 > 0:36:3945, 48... Fair warning...
0:36:39 > 0:36:45- Now, Di, you OK?- Yes.- Do you know how your old man got on?- No idea.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48That's just as well. Good. Anyway, how are you feeling? Confident?
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- Hmm...- Sort of.- Listen, you really want to beat those boys, don't you?
0:36:52 > 0:36:53- Oh, we do.- Definitely.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- OK, fine.- That's the plan. - That IS the plan.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Here you go, first up is your brooch. And here it comes.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01What a lovely object.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Birmingham, but it's a Scottish-style
0:37:04 > 0:37:07silver stag's head and sword.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10I'm only bid here... £10 only.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Full of Scottish promise.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- Yes!- 15, 18, 22, I'm out.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Five, eight. 30. Two.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Five. Eight.- (Yes!)
0:37:21 > 0:37:24You're in at £35. 38 online, 40.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Oh, my goodness.
0:37:28 > 0:37:3140 I'm bid, online. Do I see five now?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33On the net, in the room?
0:37:33 > 0:37:39Bid me £45. All done? We are, at £40 today. Fair warning...
0:37:39 > 0:37:45- Yes!- That is plus £16. Look at that, well done indeed.- Wow!
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Now, here's your lovely taster.
0:37:47 > 0:37:53Wonderful circle of silver, drinking, sommelier vessel.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57In the year 1929. There we are.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Super lot. We have a phone line, too.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03Where do we start this? I can start at £40.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04It's heavy, it's good. 45.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- 50. Five. 60. Five. I'm out.- Hey, girls!
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Five. 70. Five. 80. Five.
0:38:10 > 0:38:11- 80 I'm bid.- Doubled your money.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14I'm asking five now. 90 on the phone.
0:38:14 > 0:38:1595.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18100. Wonderful object.
