0:00:05 > 0:00:10- Today, we've come east. - Well, not that far east.

0:00:10 > 0:00:13To the Norfolk Antique and Collectors' Fair

0:00:13 > 0:00:16and this place has got it all.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20So we're going to have a ball. Let's go bargain hunting. Yeah!

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Did you know that here in Norfolk,

0:00:47 > 0:00:50they've got their very own unique breeds of animals?

0:00:50 > 0:00:54They've got the Norfolk turkey, they've got the Norfolk terrier,

0:00:54 > 0:01:00they've even got their own breed of frog! No, I'm not croaking!

0:01:00 > 0:01:04Who writes this stuff? Let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up, eh?

0:01:04 > 0:01:07On today's show, the Reds share the love.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10I don't mind telling you, you're good!

0:01:10 > 0:01:14We got the best expert! We are really lucky today, really lucky.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Yeah.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20But there are plenty of battles between the Blues.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22- What about that... That cat?- Say no.- No!

0:01:22 > 0:01:26What about that lampshade over there?

0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Are you serious?- Good grief!

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Now you know why I don't go shopping.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Before all that, let's meet the teams.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Well, on today's programme, we've got

0:01:40 > 0:01:43two teams of happily married couples.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Well, they're happily married at the moment.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47For the Reds, we've got Ken and Hazel.

0:01:47 > 0:01:52- And for the Blues, we've got Helen and Martin. Hello, everyone.- Hello.

0:01:52 > 0:01:53Very nice to see you. Ken.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56You've been married for 30 years and it don't seem a day too long, right?

0:01:56 > 0:01:59No. It's like waking up in a dream every day.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03- How much were you paid to say that? - No, she is a joy.- Yeah.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Well, that's lovely. She is Hazel, actually.- Yes. Not joy!

0:02:06 > 0:02:10- Got to get the name right!- Right. - Very important after 30 years!

0:02:10 > 0:02:11Now, where did you meet?

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Um, I used to run a pub on an industrial estate,

0:02:14 > 0:02:18open at seven, close at seven. Half-day Saturdays, no Sundays.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20And I used to drink in those days.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23One morning I had this hangover, which was not unusual.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27The side door opened and in came Miss Rep, with the twinset and pearls.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Hazel Rep?- Hazel Rep. The heels and the clipboard.- Really?

0:02:31 > 0:02:34And I said, "I don't know who you are or what you want,

0:02:34 > 0:02:37"but I hate cold calls. I hate reps, so please go away."

0:02:37 > 0:02:40And she went, "Well, if that's your attitude, you can b-off as well!"

0:02:40 > 0:02:44- And as she went, I said, "Stop! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Stop. Have a coffee."- Yes.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46- And that's how it started.- Really?

0:02:46 > 0:02:49So, you know, she was quite feisty, then?

0:02:49 > 0:02:50She gave as good as she could get?

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Yes and I ended up buying cocktail shakers... Oh, no!..

0:02:53 > 0:02:58- Silver spoons.- Umbrellas! - Ten months later, we got married.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Isn't that lovely?- Yes.- Now, Hazel. You're retired.- Yes.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04- You're a dab hand with a needle and thread.- Yes.

0:03:04 > 0:03:05I learned from very young.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08My mum taught me from when I was sort of knee-high to

0:03:08 > 0:03:11a grasshopper how to use a machine and what have you.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15- You are also a dab hand in the kitchen.- So I've been told.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Well, I must say, if your husband

0:03:18 > 0:03:21is a living embodiment of your skills,

0:03:21 > 0:03:25you have been extremely successful for the last 30 years!

0:03:25 > 0:03:27He used to be skinny when I met him!

0:03:27 > 0:03:30So what's your speciality in the cookery front, darling?

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Well, I do lots of things

0:03:32 > 0:03:37but Ken likes things like chicken pasties, Eccles cakes.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39- He loves his Eccles cakes.- Oh!

0:03:39 > 0:03:42I make them about that big, you know.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44- They're not little. - No, no, no.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47- And then you chop them up into bits, or...?- No, he eats the lot!

0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Does he really?- Yes.- Well, does this mean that between you, you're going

0:03:50 > 0:03:53- to be able to cook up a profit today?- Ooh, I hope so.- Definitely.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Hope so. - I think you're going to do terribly well on today's programme.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59Anyway, good luck with that, team. Very, very nice to meet you.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03Now, Hell's Bells, it says here that you met on an internet dating site.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05- We did, yes. - So how does that work out, then?

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Well, I'd been recently divorced,

0:04:08 > 0:04:13- so I went online and he was my first person who popped up.- Gosh.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15My first date.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17So you plug this into the machine, and it goes ping!

0:04:17 > 0:04:22- And out came Martin?- Well, he kept popping up.- He kept popping up?

0:04:22 > 0:04:25- He kept popping up in my chat box. - Oh, in your chat box! That's OK.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27- In my chat box.- Lovely. So he's in your chat box.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29So you have a chat in a chat box, and then, do you get to go

0:04:29 > 0:04:32- and have a drink? That's the important bit, isn't it?- We did.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34We met halfway between where we live.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Now, your job keeps you very busy, doesn't it?- It certainly does.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39- Tell us about that. - Well, I'm a primary school teacher

0:04:39 > 0:04:43and I've been at the same school now for nearly 20 years.

0:04:43 > 0:04:44- Have you really?- Yeah.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47So what's the best bit of the teaching job then, for you?

0:04:47 > 0:04:49I like the fact that it's never the same. Never the...

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Over 20 years, it's evolved and changes all the time

0:04:52 > 0:04:56- so it keeps you on your toes. - Now, Martin. You do something completely different.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00- I do indeed.- Tell us about that. - I've been a retail manager of a mobile phone company.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02I've been in the business about 20 years.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05So from when phones used to be about that big,

0:05:05 > 0:05:08to phones literally that big. So, yeah. I love it.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10But technically quite challenging,

0:05:10 > 0:05:13- keeping up with all this stuff, isn't it?- It can be, yes.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16But like anything, technology changes, so we obviously get

0:05:16 > 0:05:20phones come through, sort of play with them, so yeah, it's really good. Really love it.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24- And when you're not working, what do you like to get up to? - I do a lot of running.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Recently, I've done four London marathons,

0:05:27 > 0:05:30raised nearly £6,500 for charity, so, yeah.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32So you're bound to be competitive,

0:05:32 > 0:05:36- Hels, are you as competitive as your old man?- I am, yes.- Are you? OK.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Well, we've got two competitive teams today. How lovely.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Now, £300 apiece. There you go. You know the rules.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Your experts await and off you go!

0:05:44 > 0:05:49And very, very good luck. I could do with a new mobile phone.

0:05:49 > 0:05:50PHONE RINGS

0:05:50 > 0:05:54Now, we need two experts. Who we going to call?

0:05:54 > 0:05:59I dunno. It's all child's play for Paul. Mr Laidlaw will be with the Reds.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04All at sea with the Blues is Captain Catherine Southon.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Helen and Martin, this is our moment. This is all very exciting. - Yes.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12- This is it.- Yes!

0:06:12 > 0:06:15Now, I'm really thinking, when you first met Ken,

0:06:15 > 0:06:19- you stitched him up with a deal selling him something.- That's it.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21- As if I would!- Really stitched up.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Personally, something like some kind of wow factor.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Some sort of ceramic objects. - Something for the house.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Something that people can talk about.- Something for the house. OK.

0:06:29 > 0:06:30- So a talking point?- Yes.

0:06:30 > 0:06:35- And you're going to be a ruthless haggler?- Yes, definitely. - Yes?- All the time.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Right, teams. Your 60 minutes starts now.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41- OK, so are we ready for the challenge?- We are.- Yes, we are.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Come on, then. Is it about the numbers?- It's about numbers.- Yes.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47Let's go find them. Let's do it, then. Love it!

0:06:49 > 0:06:53Well, that all sounds pretty good to me. Two teams with two plans.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56What could possibly go wrong, eh?

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Oh, the Blues have gone undercover.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02We've got a cameo there, but it's just...

0:07:02 > 0:07:05- They're slightly out of fashion at the moment.- Would you?

0:07:05 > 0:07:07If I was a woman, if I was a woman,

0:07:07 > 0:07:11I'd actually think to myself, yeah, well...

0:07:11 > 0:07:14You might want to put that back before we go any further

0:07:14 > 0:07:16- with that conversation! - Probably best.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Thanks, Helen and Martine...ahem, Martin.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24Meanwhile, the Reds are still scouting the fields.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27What about things like this, Paul?

0:07:27 > 0:07:30A Victorian brass coal box. Yeah.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34- I mean, at that price, anything is a goer.- Precisely, Paul.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Ooh! Steady.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40- You didn't see that, did you? - Everything bouncing.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42We can't take him anywhere.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46I, for one, would be taking him well away from that store, Catherine.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53- Look at that.- What?- That copper thing there. Do you like that?

0:07:53 > 0:07:57- What copper thing?- What, the kettle? - Yeah.- Say no.- No! No.- There we are.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Say no?

0:08:00 > 0:08:04I think that's what you call a unanimous decision, Martin.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08- No more teapots.- No more teapots. - I've got so many teapots myself.

0:08:08 > 0:08:13Well, that's all tea-related items out the window, teams. Next stop...

0:08:15 > 0:08:17- The Blues. - You look like you're on the bus.

0:08:17 > 0:08:23- I do feel like I'm on a bus.- I love the bouncy action that's going on.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29I'm going to have a go of that. How are you...how are you bouncing?

0:08:29 > 0:08:34- Where are you bouncing?- Shall we test for strength?- I don't know.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36They could be disaster, couldn't they?

0:08:36 > 0:08:41Right. On that note, we'll leave the bouncing Blues to it, I think.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Some bits and bobs.- Yeah.- Nice. - What you think of this?

0:08:45 > 0:08:50Oh, how interesting. A continental piece. Maybe Dutch, is it?

0:08:50 > 0:08:53But...that import marks.

0:08:53 > 0:08:58So you've got a piece that was maybe made in Germany or Holland, perhaps.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00But imported by the British silver trade

0:09:00 > 0:09:05and legally it had to be assayed over here to warn that it is silver.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09- What is it? No idea. It's just a whopping great big mad spoon. - Curry spoon?

0:09:09 > 0:09:13- I'll tell you, for a tea habit! - How much is it?- Is it a dear thing?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15I was looking for about £75 for it.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Oh, you're looking for too much for us, I'm afraid.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21- So what is your very best? Would you come down to 30?- Attagirl, Hazel!

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Straight in there!

0:09:23 > 0:09:26I can't do it for 30. I could do it for...

0:09:26 > 0:09:28- I'm not excited by it.- 50.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30I don't think they're listening, Ken.

0:09:30 > 0:09:31What do you reckon it will take?

0:09:31 > 0:09:35Do you know what? I always get worried when the contestants wade in.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37I start thinking, "They're going to make an offer!"

0:09:37 > 0:09:40And you were spot on. You were spot on.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42I like your style. You were bang on there, Hazel.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Would 40 cut it? That would have to be it.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49- Or I think we're staring at losses. - 40?- You've just bought something!

0:09:49 > 0:09:52- Yeah?- 40?- Yeah? 40.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Yeah, we've done it!- Great. - Thank you so much.- Good man.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Thank you very much. Well done, guys.- Super.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03You're changing your tune, Ken. A tactical move, maybe.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07Eight minutes. Not even ten minutes, and you did it! You are a machine.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10- I knew it. - We've got the best expert.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14Great stuff, Reds. No messing there. One item down already.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19- You're good, Hazel. I don't mind telling you, you're good.- Oh, good.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22So the Reds are patting each other on the back.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25I wonder how the Blues are faring.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29- This is an umbrella - that we're going to need today.- Yes.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34What do you think? An umbrella with no material on it.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38- Actually, it's not an umbrella. Any ideas?- I've got absolutely no idea.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Absolutely none. - This is actually a swift.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43So we've got a little clamp down here

0:10:43 > 0:10:49- and we clamp that onto your table. - Right.- And this is for winding wool.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52- So it's like a wool winder.- Over your hands?- Exactly. Exactly that.

0:10:52 > 0:10:57- Is it worth a punt or not? - Do you want to think and move on?

0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Yeah, we can think and move on. - Yeah.- All right?

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Would you mind if I just put it down here for a moment, sir?

0:11:02 > 0:11:04OK, moving swiftly on, then. Hang on.

0:11:04 > 0:11:09The Reds have found themselves back at the same stall they started at.

0:11:09 > 0:11:16- The Doulton silicon ware. Do you like?- Yes. £22 the pair.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18- What do you reckon? - Not a lot of money.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21It's a stoneware body, high-fired, means it IS very resilient.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Does what it says on the tin. - And how old do you reckon they are?

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Late 19th century. These are proper antiques.

0:11:26 > 0:11:32At auction, they're worth £20-40. However, what are they priced at?

0:11:32 > 0:11:35- They're priced at 22.- 22. - That looks like there is...

0:11:35 > 0:11:39- If we could get it for a tenner. - Get it for a tenner! I'm loving you at work.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41See the way your mind works!

0:11:41 > 0:11:44And that's how she sold me £1,500 worth of rubbish

0:11:44 > 0:11:47- when I first met her! - Thank goodness I'm tight!

0:11:47 > 0:11:52- Do you want to give it a go? - What did she say? £10? £10.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56- Let's see.- She's a machine.- Ask him again.- I know she is. She is, yes.

0:11:56 > 0:12:00- 30 years I've had of this.- This poor man. Does he know what's coming?

0:12:00 > 0:12:05- Hello.- You've got 22 on them. Would you take a tenner?

0:12:05 > 0:12:09- Um, 15.- Go halfway.- Hard work, at the moment, isn't it? Hard work.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Go halfway, 12.50.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15- 12.- It's a deal. - Deal, absolutely. Thank you.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Thank you.- That was a quickie!

0:12:18 > 0:12:21THEY LAUGH

0:12:21 > 0:12:27- Lovely.- Yeah.- Guys, we could be having an early brunch at this rate!

0:12:27 > 0:12:31Hmm! Some bad maths there from the dealer.

0:12:31 > 0:12:32Two items in 15 minutes

0:12:32 > 0:12:36but the Blues still haven't broken their duck yet.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Now H, how you getting on with Mr Laidlaw?

0:12:41 > 0:12:42Oh, Paul's brilliant.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46He's so informative and it helps cos you look at things

0:12:46 > 0:12:48and you're not sure but he seems to know straight away

0:12:48 > 0:12:52whether they're good, they're bad, or whether they're worth going for.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55I know. We drop a gear. We just chill.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58We've got three quarters of an hour to find something else.

0:12:58 > 0:13:02And if we amble, we almost certainly get too comfortable

0:13:02 > 0:13:05and end up with one minute to go and sheer panic! Watch this space!

0:13:05 > 0:13:10Ha-ha! We've seen it so many times, haven't we, Paul?

0:13:10 > 0:13:14Right, then. Come on, Blues. Time to pull your finger out.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18- What about this? The tantalus. - Tantalus.- Yeah. Which ones..?

0:13:18 > 0:13:21I mean, you'll find a million tantaluses at the fair.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Would that be a tantali? - Yes, they would be...

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Well, being a schoolteacher, I'm very impressed.- Yes.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29But we'll find loads of wooden ones walking around

0:13:29 > 0:13:33but that's a nice silver-plated one.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37- Nice stepped base.- Yeah.- Yes. - With the lock.

0:13:37 > 0:13:38These do fit beautifully.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41I mean, sometimes these decanters are replaced,

0:13:41 > 0:13:45but the way that these are, you see how the corners are sort of cut

0:13:45 > 0:13:49and the hobnail pattern fits there absolutely perfectly.

0:13:49 > 0:13:54- Walker & Hall, so it's a good name.- Yeah?- Mmm.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57It's lovely. Gorgeous. They are chipped, though. Look at those bottles.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Yeah, they are chipped.- I didn't notice those.- Oh, that's a shame.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Maybe nobody will notice at auction.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Well... I didn't notice it.- Well, no. But I think they probably will.

0:14:05 > 0:14:09Mmm. I don't think you'll be fooling anyone with that damage, Hell's Bells.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Would he go down, because it's damaged?

0:14:11 > 0:14:14- I think he probably would. - What's your best price on this?

0:14:14 > 0:14:18I wanted 190. I said 170. They are actually the original bottles.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Yeah, they are the original ones, and they're numbered, aren't they?

0:14:21 > 0:14:24You can see, they've got an etched number on the top.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26You wouldn't go down to 150?

0:14:26 > 0:14:31- Go on, then. I'll do 150.- Yeah? - That's a good buy for 150, I think.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34- What about doing 140 and I shake your hand?- No, I can't do it.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37I'll drop a fiver for you, then. 145.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40I personally think 145 is a good punt.

0:14:40 > 0:14:45- It actually doesn't leave us a lot left but I'm quite happy.- Yeah.- Yeah?

0:14:45 > 0:14:48145? Yeah. Thank you very much.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Thank you.- Thank you very much.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Finally, one in the bag for the Blues.- Ready for more challenges?

0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Yes.- Absolutely. - Two to go. No pressure, eh?

0:14:59 > 0:15:03Oh, hello! Looks like trouble ahead!

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Ha-ha-ha! Yes!

0:15:05 > 0:15:06How are you getting on?

0:15:06 > 0:15:08So this has been picked dry, this lane, I take it?

0:15:08 > 0:15:12Only because we've got a fabulous expert here.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14We've got all the best... All the best buys.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Is this you heading off for a bacon roll? "Our work here is done!"

0:15:17 > 0:15:18No! We've done...

0:15:18 > 0:15:21- We've only got one item. - We've finished!

0:15:21 > 0:15:25- Behave yourself! Good luck, folks. Enjoy.- Good luck.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Well, not too much!

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Ooh, we love a bit of banter on this show.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34Now then, I need to cast your mind back.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38Now, for those of you who watch Bargain Hunt a lot

0:15:38 > 0:15:42and have a good memory, you will know exactly what this object is.

0:15:42 > 0:15:47I found one pretty similar to this in Peterborough.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Imagine my amazement to find another one

0:15:50 > 0:15:54not so dissimilar here in Norwich.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58The owner of this one thought it was something to do with either

0:15:58 > 0:16:03navigation or preserving a perpetual light on a ship.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07It is true that all these gimbals are there to protect

0:16:07 > 0:16:13that central flame but actually, this thing was made in India in

0:16:13 > 0:16:17the early part of the 19th century, specifically for one purpose.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21And that is to entertain the maharajas

0:16:21 > 0:16:23and the royal families of India.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27In the desert states, in the hot season, it is

0:16:27 > 0:16:31baking and the only time where you have any respite is at night

0:16:31 > 0:16:33and that is the moment, in the old days,

0:16:33 > 0:16:37when the Indian royal families would come out from their palaces

0:16:37 > 0:16:42and they would have entertainment surrounded by sand dunes.

0:16:42 > 0:16:46Now, don't think that that royal family only had one of these

0:16:46 > 0:16:48metal, spherical globes.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51There would have been at least 100,

0:16:51 > 0:16:56perhaps 100 or 200 of these things and on the given word,

0:16:56 > 0:17:01lamp would be illuminated and the spherical ball rolled

0:17:01 > 0:17:07down the sand dune to the delight and entertainment of the audience.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10These are called Rolling Ball Lamps

0:17:10 > 0:17:14and their survivors are few and far between.

0:17:14 > 0:17:20The other fascinating thing is that here in the Norfolk Showground,

0:17:20 > 0:17:25milliseconds from Norwich, you could buy this one for £80.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28And that is not a lot of rupees, is it?

0:17:30 > 0:17:33And both our teams need to spend some pounds.

0:17:33 > 0:17:37The Reds have two buys and the Blues still only have one.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Halfway through, time to get cracking.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42Something meaty would do, wouldn't it?

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Good grief!

0:17:45 > 0:17:48- The look on your faces! That says a lot!- That's lovely.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51Now you know why I don't go shopping!

0:17:51 > 0:17:55Oh, dear, Marty. Ever get the feeling you're being ganged up on?

0:17:57 > 0:18:01It's for weighing corn and everything as it comes out of the field,

0:18:01 > 0:18:03to see the wetness of it.

0:18:03 > 0:18:04HE YAWNS

0:18:06 > 0:18:11Well, I'm always interested to find out the wetness of my corn, Paul.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Just me, then. Time to wakey-wakey, Reds.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16You still need that final item.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18What about that lampshade over there?

0:18:18 > 0:18:23- What? Where?- You've got the thing about lampshades, haven't you?

0:18:23 > 0:18:27- Which lampshade?- In there?- Where? The normal standard lamp one?

0:18:27 > 0:18:31- Oh, no! You are not serious! - That's not even...- Are you serious?

0:18:31 > 0:18:34That has come from that house clearance.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37Oh my gosh, where did you get him from?!

0:18:37 > 0:18:40It was internet shopping, remember, Catherine?

0:18:41 > 0:18:43That's rather nice, isn't it?

0:18:45 > 0:18:49Hazel. Oracle! The lady in the team.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53What does she think of this?

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Victorian. Tooled leather.

0:18:56 > 0:19:00Jewellery casket. Yay or nay? Knee jerk reaction?

0:19:01 > 0:19:04- With its case?- Nice.- Just nice? Use your instincts.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08Your instincts have been good thus far.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10I don't think Ken is too impressed again, Hazel.

0:19:10 > 0:19:15- We can always come back to it, can't we?- Hark at him, come back to it!

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Use your instincts. Your instincts have been good thus far.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22- If your instinct is, "Oh, aye", fair enough.- I'm half and half.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26- In that case, maybe we're wasting our time.- OK.- Onwards.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28We are by the ice cream van.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32Ice cream? Well, you've got plenty of lolly left, Hazel!

0:19:32 > 0:19:35The Blues are back at the first stall they started at

0:19:35 > 0:19:38and Catherine's already started thinking about the auction.

0:19:38 > 0:19:42I was thinking, Cambridge, rowing, cycling...

0:19:42 > 0:19:46But of course, if you bought something like this, it could be like taking coals to Newcastle.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50Do you know what I mean? How many of these are you going to find in Cambridge?

0:19:50 > 0:19:53This is a folding one, so you put that in here.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Come on, you're tall, you can do that.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01I know nothing about rowing so I couldn't tell you how unusual it is.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04- So that goes in like that. - It's huge.

0:20:04 > 0:20:08- It's massive, isn't it?- It is. It's rather nice though.- It's very nice.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11Can you see up there? I can't see. What does that say?

0:20:11 > 0:20:14- It says 45 times two, but it doesn't say...- Why 45 times two?

0:20:14 > 0:20:19I mean, it's got two parts. But is it 90 or 45 for the whole thing?

0:20:19 > 0:20:23- Shall I go and get clarity on that? - Yes.- Shall I go and find out?

0:20:23 > 0:20:26- It's worth a punt, isn't it? - Worth a punt! Like it!

0:20:26 > 0:20:27Boom! Boom!

0:20:27 > 0:20:29Let me found out.

0:20:29 > 0:20:30Got there before me, Marty.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Meanwhile, the Reds could be up the proverbial creek.

0:20:33 > 0:20:38Some injection of adrenaline might be an idea at this stage

0:20:38 > 0:20:40because you know what will happen.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43We'll get complacent, five minutes and then that jewellery casket

0:20:43 > 0:20:46is going to be looking pretty dammed attractive!

0:20:46 > 0:20:50She's back with a price. Any more info, Catherine?

0:20:50 > 0:20:54Well, I have a wealth of knowledge on these now.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57These are called tynes. That is one for your students at school.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59T-Y-N-E.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03- It is actually a paddle, not an oar. It's a paddle.- Is it?

0:21:03 > 0:21:05And these are from the First World War.

0:21:05 > 0:21:11- Wow!- That's historic.- And he said the £45 is for the whole thing.

0:21:11 > 0:21:15But he said he could do 40 for that.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18Which I think is probably OK, isn't it?

0:21:18 > 0:21:20And then remember the swift

0:21:20 > 0:21:24that we talked about right at the beginning, the umbrella.

0:21:24 > 0:21:28He said he could do the two for 120.

0:21:29 > 0:21:33- If he gave 110 for both. - Will he go that low?

0:21:33 > 0:21:37- There's only one way to find out. - There is only one way to find out.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40I'm really confused. I'm just going to stand here and see what happens.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44- OK. I'll ask.- Go on, then. - He's good at all this, isn't it?

0:21:44 > 0:21:46That is actually a compliment, Martin.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49You have found your calling as chief negotiator.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56Right then. Ken, Hazel, it started so well.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Do I get the feeling there are a few ructions with the Reds?

0:21:59 > 0:22:02I'm not being rude. What are they going to do with it?

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Old people use them for storage. They use them for storage.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09I think at 20 to 40, what's not to like about it?

0:22:09 > 0:22:13I would sooner go round the markets selling sandwiches with this, to be honest, than buy that!

0:22:13 > 0:22:17You might not have a choice soon, Ken! 10 minutes left.

0:22:17 > 0:22:18OK.

0:22:18 > 0:22:23I've spoken to the gentleman and what he said was, initially he said 115.

0:22:23 > 0:22:27He said he can do 110 for both, the oar and the swift,

0:22:27 > 0:22:32so he said he can now go down to 110, which I think is very good.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35- So that makes this 40 and the other 70.- Yes.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Is that what you want to do?

0:22:37 > 0:22:39Yes. I'm happy with that. Fab.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42You are very much done and dusted, that's it, I've had enough,

0:22:42 > 0:22:44I want to go and have my coffee, aren't you?

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Not at all, no.

0:22:46 > 0:22:50- It feels like it.- I would have gone for the lampshade earlier.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53We're not having a lampshade. Do you want to do that?

0:22:53 > 0:22:55- I think it's a good thing, yes. - Yes?- Yes.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57I love him. He's brilliant.

0:22:57 > 0:23:02- You are so decisive when you find something.- Yes.- Look at that smile!

0:23:02 > 0:23:04It's wonderful. He's so happy.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08Oh, how the tables have turned. That is the Blues done and dusted.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13What was the word you mentioned earlier, Paul? Complacency?

0:23:13 > 0:23:18Five minutes left. Time to take some action, Mr Laidlaw.

0:23:18 > 0:23:19Guys.

0:23:19 > 0:23:24What do you think of that? It is all of £20.

0:23:24 > 0:23:28We have here a cow horn. These are electric plate mounts.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30This would polish up like silver.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Turned horn mouthpiece is original and nice,

0:23:33 > 0:23:36but what makes it are these mounts here.

0:23:36 > 0:23:42This is going to be one of the Orders of Foresters or similar.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45And it is a ceremonial piece. 19th century.

0:23:45 > 0:23:50Today, it is just one of those crazy little curios

0:23:50 > 0:23:52that is worth £20 to £40.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54It's not a bad little example.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57- is it a desperate purchase or do you like it?- I quite like it, yes.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59I would probably have it at home.

0:23:59 > 0:24:03It would end up on the wall like most of the things do that we can get on the floor.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06And it would be quite nice in the morning to get Hazel up!

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Wouldn't it? You know, to get my tea.

0:24:08 > 0:24:12- What do you reckon? - Are you standing for that, Hazel?

0:24:12 > 0:24:16- No, because he brings me tea every morning.- A big softie at heart.

0:24:16 > 0:24:17Ah, Ken. A true gent.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21- Do you like it? - It is quite nice, yes.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23It is another quite nice thing.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27No... I'm not going to go crazy but, you know,

0:24:27 > 0:24:29it's something I would pick up and look at.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Well, have we bought it?- We have.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34- Have we bought our last thing? - We have.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Stop, time is up.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39We have done it. Let's go settle up. Come on.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41The clock did run away with you, team.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Anyway, let's check out what the Reds bought.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47First off, it was the serving of silver

0:24:47 > 0:24:49in the form of a German spoon.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51They paid £40.

0:24:52 > 0:24:57From the same stall, they found the Dalton Lambeth jugs. £12 paid.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02And finally, Paul hunted out the horn for £20.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07- Well, Reds, that was fun, wasn't it? - Yes.- Great. Loved it.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10- What is the best bit for you? - Listening to Paul, a lot of it.

0:25:10 > 0:25:11When you are looking at something,

0:25:11 > 0:25:14he has so much knowledge, it is very impressive.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17- It takes your breath away, doesn't it?- It takes your breath away.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20- The man is a walking encyclopaedia! - Yes.- Exactly.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Which was your favourite purchase?

0:25:22 > 0:25:26- For me, probably the little spoon. - The little spoon.

0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Do you agree with that?- I do. Yes. - Best to agree with the old man.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?- I think the jugs.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36- The jugs. OK, fine. Do you agree with that?- Yes.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39How much did you spend, all told?

0:25:39 > 0:25:42- £72.- Which means I want £228, please.

0:25:42 > 0:25:46- There's £225.- And as in life, I just have the coins.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Just the scrappage.

0:25:48 > 0:25:52Thank you very much. That is a massive old wodge, isn't it?

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Got anything in your sights, Paul?

0:25:54 > 0:25:58I am sorely tempted to buy something that will make sense later,

0:25:58 > 0:26:00if I buy it. But, no.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Ah, you're being very enigmatic.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06Anyway, good luck with your search, because right now,

0:26:06 > 0:26:09we're going to check out what the Blue team bought, aren't we?

0:26:10 > 0:26:13Their first item was the silver-plated tantalus.

0:26:13 > 0:26:17A spirited price of £145 was paid.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22Buy number two was the paddle. They forked out £40.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26And finally, it was the wool winder.

0:26:26 > 0:26:30It cost £70, but will it spin a profit at auction?

0:26:30 > 0:26:34Well, how lovely's this? How, hell's bells, how did you get on?

0:26:34 > 0:26:35- We did very well, I think.- Did you?

0:26:35 > 0:26:40- We spent quite a lot of money, though.- How much did you spend?- £255.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43- Yes, that's so good. £45 of leftover lolly from somewhere.- Yes.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Yep, there we go.- Thank you very much, Martino.- You're welcome.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Now, which is your favourite piece, Helen?

0:26:48 > 0:26:50The paddle. HE LAUGHS

0:26:50 > 0:26:53Nice if you're up a creek! Erm, anyway, super.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56- And how much did you spend for that? - 40.- £40 for your double paddle.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Lovely.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00- Your double paddle. Do you agree with that, Martin?- I do, yes.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03- What, your favourite is the double paddle?- Yeah. Yeah.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05We're thinking, as the auction's in Cambridge,

0:27:05 > 0:27:07be quite sentimental with the rowing.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Yeah. - So it'll be good for someone's...

0:27:09 > 0:27:12- So you've decided to have a punt on the paddle?- Absolutely.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15- They do a lot of that in Cambridge too.- They do indeed.- Excellent.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Catherine, here you go. Here's a wodge of money, darling.- Lovely.

0:27:18 > 0:27:19£45.

0:27:19 > 0:27:23That's not a lot to play with, but I've got my eye on a real bargain.

0:27:23 > 0:27:27Have you? Well, you better tootle off and secure it, Catherine,

0:27:27 > 0:27:29because we're about to head for the auction, aren't we?

0:27:38 > 0:27:39Well, how lovely is this?

0:27:39 > 0:27:43We're at Cheffins Saleroom in Cambridge with Charles Ashton,

0:27:43 > 0:27:44our auctioneer of the moment.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47- Charles, good morning.- Good morning, Tim.- Very nice to be here.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Now, for the Red team, we've a mixture

0:27:49 > 0:27:52that defies description, almost.

0:27:52 > 0:27:57We've got this imported, silver, weirdo spoon,

0:27:57 > 0:27:59which is trying to be 17th-century but it ain't, is it?

0:27:59 > 0:28:01No, it's not.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04It incorporates a 17th-century coin into the top of the handle

0:28:04 > 0:28:05there, but unfortunately,

0:28:05 > 0:28:10it's been well and truly welded or soldered into its frame.

0:28:10 > 0:28:14The stem's been also broken. But it's quite a decorative object.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17- And I think someone would take a shine to it.- Good.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19And how much will they pay?

0:28:19 > 0:28:23- We hope £30 to £40.- OK, fair enough. Well, £40 was paid by the team.

0:28:23 > 0:28:27It might do well. The next object, I'm pretty dead-cert about too,

0:28:27 > 0:28:30cos they're two stoneware Doulton jugs.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33They're bulletproof, being baked stoneware.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37Would be nearly impossible to break such a thickly potted pair.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40- And of course, they're quite decorative, aren't they?- They are.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42A - it's nice to have a pair of them,

0:28:42 > 0:28:44and B - they're in pretty good condition.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46And how much are they going to bring?

0:28:46 > 0:28:49Well, we haven't put much on them. We've said £20 to £40.

0:28:49 > 0:28:53Fret not, because the team only paid £12.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55- It's got to be a bargain, hasn't it?- It's got to be.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59£6 each, retail, for a period bit of Doulton in great condition.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01Thank you for that.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04And lastly, I guess what might be their disappointment,

0:29:04 > 0:29:07- will be this so-called hunting horn.- Yes.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09The problem with it is that the plated mounts

0:29:09 > 0:29:11have now lost all their plating.

0:29:11 > 0:29:14The whole thing, unfortunately, just isn't terribly good quality.

0:29:14 > 0:29:17How much would it make in this yodelling part of the country?

0:29:17 > 0:29:22- We reckon maybe ten, £20, something like that.- Very sad. £20 paid.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25In case they need it, because they only spent £72,

0:29:25 > 0:29:27let's go and have a look at their bonus buy.

0:29:28 > 0:29:32- Now, Ken, Barbie... I mean... Sorry. - THEY LAUGH

0:29:32 > 0:29:34- The old ones are the best ones. - Oh, they are.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37- Hazel, how are you doing, darling? - I'm fine.- Are you?- Yes.

0:29:37 > 0:29:38- Are you all right?- I'm very good.

0:29:38 > 0:29:42What I can't wait to know is how much did Paul Laidlaw pay

0:29:42 > 0:29:46out of the £228 for this bonus buy underneath that rag?

0:29:46 > 0:29:48- Well, we gave him a lot of money. - You did. £228.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50And if that's chocolates, they better be good.

0:29:50 > 0:29:54- They look like chocs, don't they? - They do.- Hand prepared, I think.

0:29:54 > 0:29:56OK, Paul, put us out of our agony.

0:29:56 > 0:30:01I am still recovering after that last five-minute panic of our shop.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03- Yes.- Well, we regretted not going back

0:30:03 > 0:30:07and buying that jewellery casket, didn't we?

0:30:07 > 0:30:12- I said we should have bought that in the first place!- Oh, what?

0:30:12 > 0:30:14He was the one that kept walking away!

0:30:14 > 0:30:15Paul and I wanted it, didn't we?

0:30:15 > 0:30:18To be fair, I said, "We can always come back to it."

0:30:18 > 0:30:20Well, how much did you pay?

0:30:20 > 0:30:25We couldn't get it below 40 at the time, and I couldn't do any better

0:30:25 > 0:30:27face-to-face, man-on-man, as it were.

0:30:27 > 0:30:30But, look, I still think it's a good object.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32So how much do you think it'll make?

0:30:32 > 0:30:34Er, for my money, that's worth £40 to £60.

0:30:34 > 0:30:38- So there's a margin in it.- Yes.- OK. Well, that's it. Well done, Paul.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40£40 spent. Now, for the audience at home,

0:30:40 > 0:30:43let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Paul's little box.

0:30:44 > 0:30:49Now, Charles, here we go, look. Rather a nice jewellery box.

0:30:49 > 0:30:50Absolutely, Tim.

0:30:50 > 0:30:54It's a good quality box, definitely seen some action in its time.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57A lovely, I guess it's silk-lined, interior.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59And I fancy somebody with some leather polish would be able

0:30:59 > 0:31:02to buff it up and make it look pretty handsome, really.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05Absolutely. But, yes, some of that restorative lotion would...

0:31:05 > 0:31:07- Yeah, a bit of the gel. - Yeah, that would do.

0:31:07 > 0:31:10But it's just starting to dry out a little bit in places,

0:31:10 > 0:31:11but actually it's a good thing.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14OK. And how much do you think it might bring in the auction?

0:31:14 > 0:31:17Erm, we haven't gone overboard on it. We've said £30 to £40.

0:31:17 > 0:31:21Well, the Laidlaw had £228 to spend and he only spent the 40

0:31:21 > 0:31:23and he seems to have spent it wisely,

0:31:23 > 0:31:25if the team decide to go with the bonus buy.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27Anyway, that's it for the Reds.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30Now for Helen and Martin with the Blues.

0:31:30 > 0:31:31They went with the tantalus.

0:31:31 > 0:31:36Again, it's a lovely quality bit of Edwardian dining room apparatus,

0:31:36 > 0:31:39isn't it? The only thing wrong with it, and it's a shame, is the fact

0:31:39 > 0:31:44- that all three of the decanter necks are quite badly chipped.- Yes.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47And one can pick up odd replacement bottles,

0:31:47 > 0:31:51but I think very difficult to find replacements,

0:31:51 > 0:31:54or three singles that are going to be absolutely matching.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56How much would it bring?

0:31:56 > 0:32:00- Er, I think we've set on it £50 to £80.- Is that all?- Yeah.- Oh, dear.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02Just because of the damage.

0:32:02 > 0:32:03Well, you're going to have to double that,

0:32:03 > 0:32:06because they paid £145, I'm afraid, Charles.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09- So you could be struggling in the auction.- I think it might struggle.

0:32:09 > 0:32:13Moving on to something where there may be some clear water

0:32:13 > 0:32:16- ahead of us, how about the paddles? - They've certainly got some age.

0:32:16 > 0:32:19I know they were understood to be around 100 years old

0:32:19 > 0:32:22when they were bought. But rather nice to have a little brass collar

0:32:22 > 0:32:24- that you can connect them together.- Exactly.

0:32:24 > 0:32:26You can either have a his or hers or both, you see.

0:32:26 > 0:32:28Let us fantasize on,

0:32:28 > 0:32:31and dream up a price that they might bring, Charles.

0:32:31 > 0:32:36- Again, we've not been too bold. I think we've said £20 to £40.- OK.

0:32:36 > 0:32:37£40 is what they paid.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40Now, moving on to an amusing piece of treen

0:32:40 > 0:32:44that I guess is connected with wool winding, is it?

0:32:44 > 0:32:47It is. It is, it's a wool winder or so-called swift.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50- I mean, as a piece of kit, it's useless, of course.- It is.

0:32:50 > 0:32:54So its interest is because it's a bit of treen, a bygone.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57- Is that what you sell it as? - I think we have to, yes.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00It's got a pretty little turned handle, decent colour patternation.

0:33:00 > 0:33:03So what sort of estimate do you think, then, Charles?

0:33:03 > 0:33:07- Er, I think we've suggested £40 to £60.- OK, fine. Brilliant. £70 paid.

0:33:07 > 0:33:10- So it's within a whisker, quite frankly.- Yep, yep.

0:33:10 > 0:33:12And they may definitely need their bonus buy,

0:33:12 > 0:33:13so let's go and have a look at it.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17This is exciting, isn't it, Helen and Martin?

0:33:17 > 0:33:19Well, we're all on the ball today.

0:33:19 > 0:33:24Erm, you spent £255 and you gave Catherine £45.

0:33:24 > 0:33:26Now, Catherine, what did you spend it on?

0:33:26 > 0:33:29Well, I have purchased you...

0:33:29 > 0:33:30a box.

0:33:30 > 0:33:31You have. With something in it.

0:33:31 > 0:33:34Not the crown jewels, but a pair of cuff links.

0:33:34 > 0:33:38- Hm.- Those are rather nice.- Stamped 925, so we know that they're silver.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42- I've got a horse on mine, have you got a horse on yous?- I have indeed.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44And where are we near?

0:33:44 > 0:33:47- Cambridge. Newmarket.- Newmarket!

0:33:47 > 0:33:49- There we are, so I'm thinking horsey.- Absolutely.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52I paid a mere £45 for them.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55- Very good.- I'm hoping there might be a profit there. Do you think?

0:33:55 > 0:33:57How much do you reckon?

0:33:58 > 0:34:00- Oh, I'm being put on the spot. - Yes, go on.

0:34:00 > 0:34:03A little. It's got to be five, ten pounds, hasn't it?

0:34:03 > 0:34:06- Yeah... - CATHERINE LAUGHS

0:34:06 > 0:34:09You don't sound very convinced!

0:34:09 > 0:34:12Catherine is predicting that they will canter away.

0:34:12 > 0:34:13For the audience at home,

0:34:13 > 0:34:16let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's links.

0:34:18 > 0:34:22Right then, Charles. Very, very nice for the equestrian sportsman.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25- Absolutely. - Do you want to take one out?

0:34:25 > 0:34:28Erm, well, they are of a decent weight - first thing to say.

0:34:28 > 0:34:32They're stamped 925, so they're sterling standard silver.

0:34:32 > 0:34:38A nice little motif of a horse's head with a horseshoe framing it.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40- Newmarket is not far away, Tim. - That's true.

0:34:40 > 0:34:44You could get an owner or a jockey that might sort of...

0:34:44 > 0:34:48- Or a partner that might want them for a gift, you see.- Yes, exactly.

0:34:48 > 0:34:51- Who knows? Who knows?- Well, you're a great romantic, Charles.

0:34:51 > 0:34:52Let's have a romantic price, shall we?

0:34:52 > 0:34:56- Probably only £20 or £30, I'm afraid.- That's not romantic.

0:34:56 > 0:34:59- Not as far as Catherine's concerned, anyway.- Oh, dear.- £45 she invested.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02- Really?- Of course, the team may decide not to go with them.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04Thank you very much, Charles. Are you taking the sale today?

0:35:04 > 0:35:05I am indeed, yes.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08I shall look forward to having a go with all these things, yes.

0:35:08 > 0:35:10And so will we look forward to it. Thank you.

0:35:11 > 0:35:16OK, Charles, time to run off to your rostrum and get this sale started!

0:35:16 > 0:35:18All done then? I shall sell. And away.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22- Well, here we go, team. This is exciting, isn't it?- Yes.

0:35:22 > 0:35:24- We're on the edge of the abyss.- Yes.

0:35:24 > 0:35:28- Are we going to sink or are we going to swim?- Swim.- Oh, good for you.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30Hazel, you're such an optimist, aren't you?

0:35:30 > 0:35:34- I am always an optimist, yes. - It's why she married me.- Er...

0:35:34 > 0:35:36And never looked back, if you don't mind my saying so, Kenneth.

0:35:36 > 0:35:39First item up is the old German spoon. And here it comes.

0:35:39 > 0:35:43The continental spoon. Import mark for Sheffield, 1894.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46What do you say for that? Who'll bid me for that? £30 to start me?

0:35:46 > 0:35:49£30 for the spoon, I'd have thought for it. Silver spoon. 30 for it?

0:35:49 > 0:35:52Who will start me at 20, then? Will you put me in. £20?

0:35:52 > 0:35:53Looks lovely to me.

0:35:53 > 0:35:5820 I'm bid already. At £20 bid, I have. At £20. 25 and 30? 30 bid now.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01- On the internet. - 30 bid now, 30. Low estimate.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03At £30 now, who's going to give me five more, surely?

0:36:03 > 0:36:06- At 30 bid now.- Come on!- Five more, 35 in the room. Thank you, madam.

0:36:06 > 0:36:11At 35 here. At 35 bid now. Help them along. At 35 it is. 40 I'll take.

0:36:11 > 0:36:15- Who will? At 35 bid now, and 40 is here.- Oh, yes!

0:36:15 > 0:36:19At £40. Five more? Come all this way, you know. 40 is bid here now.

0:36:19 > 0:36:22- Five more, 45 in the back of the room again.- Hooray!

0:36:22 > 0:36:25Got 45 bid now. 45 it is. £45 in the room.

0:36:25 > 0:36:29I shall sell, then. All done, then, at £45.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32- Hooray!- Yes. Great.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35He'll do well, won't he? Plus £5. Well done, team.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37Now here come your old jugs.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39Lot 51. Try the next one.

0:36:39 > 0:36:42Pair of these rather pretty little Doulton silicon-china jugs.

0:36:42 > 0:36:46There they are. Lot 51. £25 I'd have thought to get on with them?

0:36:46 > 0:36:4825 the pair? Who will? 20, then?

0:36:48 > 0:36:52You tell me. £20, then. 20. 20 I have to start, thank you.

0:36:52 > 0:36:56- At 20 bid online now.- Ooh.- 20 bid now. 20. All done then at £20?

0:36:56 > 0:36:57I shall sell, then.

0:36:57 > 0:37:00Done at £20. A bargain at £20.

0:37:00 > 0:37:04- Buyer seven, thank you very much. - £20, that plus £8.

0:37:04 > 0:37:05No messing about here.

0:37:05 > 0:37:09This rather natty continental hunting horn. You see it there.

0:37:09 > 0:37:13Complete with tassels. £20 to get on with that. Start me for it. 20.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16- £20 for it.- Come on.- Get in there quick. £20.- 20.- 20, surely.

0:37:16 > 0:37:19- Is that a hand? 20 at the back, there, £20.- Oh, yes!

0:37:19 > 0:37:22- Lovely, lovely, lovely.- Hidden behind you all. At £20 bid now. 20.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24I'll take five more if you will? At £20, then. All done?

0:37:24 > 0:37:27I shall sell at £20.

0:37:27 > 0:37:30- £20, wiped its face.- No profit, but no loss.- No loss.

0:37:30 > 0:37:34No pain, no gain. Now, there you go. Plus £13.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36What are you going to do about this jewellery box?

0:37:36 > 0:37:40- Do you...? Oh, we can't ask, can we? - It's quality.- It is quality.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43- You going to do it?- It's quality. - Moving on.- Go for it?- Yes.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45- Yeah, go on. - Do you need to phone anybody?

0:37:45 > 0:37:50- Haven't got any friends to phone. - No phone-a-friends.- No-one to phone?

0:37:50 > 0:37:52- No.- We've got no-one to phone.- OK, fine.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54- So we're going to do it, are we? - Yes, we are.

0:37:54 > 0:37:56- You're a couple of punters, aren't you?- Yeah.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59- And here comes your jewellery casket.- Lot 55, there it is.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01Complete with monogram in the tray.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04£30 to get on with it, I would have thought for that quality lot. £30.

0:38:04 > 0:38:07Who'll start me at 20? Surely £20 for it?

0:38:07 > 0:38:0820 on my right, thank you, sir.

0:38:08 > 0:38:1020 I'm bid now. 20. At 20. 20 bid.

0:38:10 > 0:38:14- At 20, come again, who'll give me 25? At 25 there.- Come on, come on.

0:38:14 > 0:38:18At 25. 25, 25, 25 it is, 25. And 30.

0:38:18 > 0:38:22- Right.- 30 bid now, 30. Quality jewellery box lot here.

0:38:22 > 0:38:27- And I shall then at... 35, they're going again.- Yes!- At 35. At 35 bid.

0:38:27 > 0:38:30There we are. Whoops of success. At 35, then.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33Off the hook at £35.

0:38:33 > 0:38:35£35. I'm afraid it's a £5 loss.

0:38:35 > 0:38:38Minus £5. But it doesn't matter.

0:38:38 > 0:38:42You are plus £8 and that is a very happy position to be in.

0:38:42 > 0:38:46The big thing now is, don't say a word... Settle down.

0:38:46 > 0:38:49- Don't say a word to the Blues, all right?- No.- Seriously.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57Helen, Martin, this is a moment, isn't it?

0:38:57 > 0:39:00- Now do you know how those naughty Reds got on?- Not a clue.- No.

0:39:00 > 0:39:01OK, good. We don't want you to.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03- And here comes the tantalus. - There we are.

0:39:03 > 0:39:05Another one of these quality lots in the sale.

0:39:05 > 0:39:09The Walker and Hall tantalus. There we are. What do you say to that?

0:39:09 > 0:39:10Get it away, £50 to get on with that for it?

0:39:10 > 0:39:1350 to start me off with the tantalus, I would have thought.

0:39:13 > 0:39:14£50 for that? Or 40, then?

0:39:14 > 0:39:16You tell me. At 40.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19Where do you want to be the start then? £30 for it, surely? £30.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22- Come along.- £30?!

0:39:22 > 0:39:25£30 I have on the back. At 30 I'm bid now. 30 on the bid now. 30.

0:39:25 > 0:39:2735, Barbara. Or Margaret, rather.

0:39:27 > 0:39:30- At 35 bid now. 40, sir. At 40. - That's all right.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32Come again, Margaret. 40 bid. 40. 45?

0:39:32 > 0:39:34And 50.

0:39:34 > 0:39:38At 50. Gentleman has here at £50. All done then at £50?

0:39:38 > 0:39:40Can't bear that.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42- That is minus £95.- That is a big, big...

0:39:42 > 0:39:44Before we start!

0:39:44 > 0:39:46And 67 is the paddles.

0:39:46 > 0:39:50Yeah, there's sort of a pair of paddles that connect together.

0:39:50 > 0:39:51There we are. So try these at 20.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54Start them off already at 20 I'm bid here to start them off.

0:39:54 > 0:39:55At 20 bid, I'll have.

0:39:55 > 0:40:00- 25 and 30. 30. Come again, if you want them.- Oh, no!- He's got 30.

0:40:00 > 0:40:0235 bid now. 35 it is.

0:40:02 > 0:40:0835 it is. All finished, then? I shall sell. Done at £35. At 35.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11That's minus £5, which means you're minus 100.

0:40:11 > 0:40:12It's not too bad.

0:40:12 > 0:40:15- 100!- It's not too good, either.

0:40:15 > 0:40:18- OK, now. Let's hope we get out of this swiftly.- Yes.

0:40:18 > 0:40:22£30 for the wool winder. Who'll be brave? £30 for it to start me?

0:40:22 > 0:40:2425, then. Surely 25?

0:40:24 > 0:40:2725, have already. At 25 bid now. Thank you. At 25 bid now.

0:40:27 > 0:40:31- 25. All done then? A maiden bidder. 25.- This isn't a good day for us.

0:40:31 > 0:40:35At £25. Oh, dear. Finished and done then. We shall sell at £25.

0:40:35 > 0:40:38- 25.- Minus £45.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40So that is minus 145 smackers.

0:40:40 > 0:40:42What are we going to do about these cuff links?

0:40:42 > 0:40:44We'll have to put them in.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46I think we're definitely going to go with those. OK, fine.

0:40:46 > 0:40:51£145 without any hesitation, deviation or repetition,

0:40:51 > 0:40:53- we are going with the cuff links. Yes?- Absolutely.

0:40:53 > 0:40:55£45, and here come the cuff links.

0:40:55 > 0:40:5825 looking for now. 25, who'll be brave? £25.

0:40:58 > 0:41:00Or 20 if you wish? Somebody will.

0:41:00 > 0:41:04£20. Oh, I've got 25 bid online. 25 it is. 25, maiden bid of £25.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06- Come on.- 25 it is. All done then? Seen enough?

0:41:06 > 0:41:09And I will sell then, no more interest.

0:41:09 > 0:41:12They go then. Done at £25.

0:41:12 > 0:41:14OK, well, you're keeping up the record.

0:41:14 > 0:41:18- That's minus £20, equals minus 165.- Goodness me!

0:41:18 > 0:41:22Well, there we go. I have to say, it's nothing to write home about.

0:41:22 > 0:41:24But anyway, you've been very brave.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27Don't say a word to the Reds, and all will be revealed in a moment.

0:41:32 > 0:41:36Well, well, well. You been chatting, you lot, about the scores?

0:41:36 > 0:41:40- ALL: No.- Because there is a chasm between our teams today.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43You just can't credit that this lot all bought their stuff

0:41:43 > 0:41:47with the similar amount of provided capital in the same place.

0:41:47 > 0:41:51One has done so brilliantly and one had done not so brilliantly.

0:41:51 > 0:41:54And the team that's not done so well today, I'm afraid to reveal,

0:41:54 > 0:41:55are the Blues.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57Yay!

0:41:57 > 0:42:01- Minus £165 is a fair old number, really, isn't it?- It is.

0:42:01 > 0:42:05- I mean, what went wrong? - I don't know.- I don't know either.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08I mean, we had nice predictions and none of them came to pass.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11I think it just wasn't running down your gutter today, right.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13Not to worry, it was good fun, wasn't it?

0:42:13 > 0:42:15We loved having you on the show.

0:42:15 > 0:42:17It could have been so different. Thank you, Catherine.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20But the victors today are going home the princely sum of £8.

0:42:20 > 0:42:24- Ooh!- Hazel, take that, my darling. - We can have some food this week.

0:42:24 > 0:42:27- Oh, yes.- Yes, we can eat.

0:42:27 > 0:42:31Well, here comes your three smackers. Look at that.

0:42:31 > 0:42:35£5 from the spoon, £8 from the jugs,

0:42:35 > 0:42:38a wiped face is so close to the golden gavel, but not quite.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40Yes, I know. I wanted one of them.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42And the only error in your horizon

0:42:42 > 0:42:45was that wretched jewellery casket which didn't do the business.

0:42:45 > 0:42:47But otherwise, plus £8 is very fair.

0:42:47 > 0:42:49- It is very fair. - OK, are you comfortable with that?

0:42:49 > 0:42:52- Oh, very comfortable. Yes. - You are, aren't you?- Yes, I am.

0:42:52 > 0:42:56- I don't know when I've seen a bloke look happier. - LAUGHTER

0:42:56 > 0:43:00In fact, so much fun. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?

0:43:00 > 0:43:03- Yes!- Oh!- Ooh!
