Did you know that here in Staffordshire

0:00:040:00:06

there are more miles of canal than in any other county in England?

0:00:060:00:12

So our teams today

0:00:120:00:13

are literally going to be barging round the stalls.

0:00:130:00:17

Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!

0:00:170:00:19

Today we're heading towards the Stafford Antique & Collectables Fair

0:00:430:00:48

with each of our teams armed with £300

0:00:480:00:51

and an hour to shop for three objects,

0:00:510:00:53

but will they sail off into the sunset

0:00:530:00:55

or will they meet a watery end over at the auction?

0:00:550:00:59

Let's check out how they do.

0:00:590:01:01

Thomas has double trouble with the Reds.

0:01:030:01:05

-No idea.

-I think I'm being closed out.

0:01:050:01:08

Closed out. I can see this happening.

0:01:080:01:11

The Blues have hit their funny bones.

0:01:110:01:13

You said you wanted quirky.

0:01:130:01:15

I did want quirky but what would you do with him?

0:01:150:01:17

But will it be all smiles at auction?

0:01:170:01:20

Let's meet today's teams.

0:01:260:01:28

Well, we've got a gorgeous group of sheilas here on the show today,

0:01:280:01:33

all of whom have a link with down under.

0:01:330:01:36

For the Reds, we have got Sandra and Susan

0:01:360:01:39

and for the Blues we have Christina and Rachel. Hello, everyone.

0:01:390:01:43

-G'day, Tim.

-G'day, Tim.

-Oh, g'day. That's very nice.

0:01:430:01:46

Now, Sandra, you have come a long way to join us today.

0:01:460:01:48

I have, Tim. I've come all this way just to see you.

0:01:480:01:51

I have to say that you don't sound terribly Australian.

0:01:510:01:54

-I've been there 27 years.

-Have you?

-I have.

0:01:540:01:56

-And what's your town?

-Perth.

0:01:560:01:59

-I live in Freemantle.

-Is it lovely over there on the West?

0:01:590:02:02

It is, it's lovely.

0:02:020:02:03

-Good weather all year round.

-Yeah.

0:02:030:02:06

And you're what they call a sporty girl, aren't you?

0:02:060:02:09

I am, I play tennis. I am the Midweek Ladies Captain

0:02:090:02:12

at the local club.

0:02:120:02:13

Stand to attention. And you play doubles or singles?

0:02:130:02:16

-Both, mainly doubles.

-Mainly doubles.

-With the Midweek Ladies.

0:02:160:02:20

And do you ever let the men in at all or is it all girls?

0:02:200:02:23

-Oh, all girls on a Tuesday. Oh, yes. No men allowed on Tuesdays.

-OK.

0:02:230:02:27

That must be the day to visit then. Now, you are identical twins.

0:02:270:02:30

Was it terribly tough on you going to Australia like that?

0:02:300:02:33

Not really, because Susan came as well.

0:02:330:02:35

-Did you really?

-Yes.

-But you came back?

-I did.

0:02:350:02:37

Like full-time back?

0:02:370:02:39

I keep going back to visit

0:02:390:02:40

cos I've still got my daughters out there

0:02:400:02:42

so I go back for three months every year.

0:02:420:02:44

Now, Susan, you've also seen a fair bit of the world, haven't you?

0:02:440:02:47

I have, yes. I've lived in Australia, New Zealand,

0:02:470:02:51

Philippines, Borneo and Malaysia.

0:02:510:02:53

-Which is exciting, isn't it?

-It's really exciting.

0:02:530:02:56

So what sort of things are you gorgeous twins going to buy?

0:02:560:02:59

Are you going to agree on everything?

0:02:590:03:00

BOTH: No!

0:03:000:03:02

Here we go. Lovely.

0:03:020:03:04

We're looking forward to it immensely

0:03:040:03:05

and thank you very much for joining us

0:03:050:03:07

all the way from Australia.

0:03:070:03:08

-Now, Christina, you are also from Australia.

-Yes, I am.

0:03:080:03:12

And you swapped barbies and all that glorious countryside

0:03:120:03:17

and temperature and whatnot for which town?

0:03:170:03:19

-Birmingham.

-Oh, lovely.

0:03:190:03:21

THEY LAUGH

0:03:210:03:22

And why did you come then, darling? Did your husband drag you or what?

0:03:220:03:25

-I do have a French husband.

-A French husband?

0:03:250:03:28

Yeah. So he's still got some family in Paris and around

0:03:280:03:31

and originally we were meant to settle there

0:03:310:03:34

but I can't speak French. I tried and I just can't.

0:03:340:03:36

Yeah, best to go to Birmingham in those circumstances.

0:03:360:03:39

Yeah, I learned that language pretty quickly.

0:03:390:03:41

You're pretty safe from the French in Birmingham.

0:03:410:03:44

Not so many French there. You also have a passion for music.

0:03:440:03:47

Tell us about that.

0:03:470:03:48

Yeah, ever since I was little I've always had many instruments

0:03:480:03:51

in the house so I started on drums and percussion, I can sing a bit.

0:03:510:03:56

Is that your link with Rachel, then, through the music?

0:03:560:03:59

It is. Yeah. So Rachel plays synth and sings

0:03:590:04:02

so we met through our local church, basically, in Birmingham.

0:04:020:04:05

-Yeah, that's how we became friends.

-Brilliant.

0:04:050:04:07

So, does this being a musician keep you pretty active, Rach?

0:04:070:04:11

It does, yes. It takes up quite a lot of my time.

0:04:110:04:13

I practice once a week and I play most Sundays.

0:04:130:04:16

Now, it says here that you sing

0:04:160:04:18

so would you like to give us just a little twirl?

0:04:180:04:21

Just off-the-cuff, give us one of your favourite little numbers.

0:04:210:04:27

Yeah, we can give it a go.

0:04:270:04:28

Give that the groove.

0:04:280:04:30

# Amazing Grace

0:04:300:04:33

# How sweet the sound

0:04:330:04:36

# That saved a wretch like me. #

0:04:360:04:43

Oh, you're so good!

0:04:430:04:46

It's so horrible being put on the spot. How could I do that to you?

0:04:460:04:51

Well, anyway, well done. Now, you know all about antiques, don't you?

0:04:510:04:55

-Bits and bobs.

-We do car-boot sales occasionally.

0:04:550:04:57

You will be very, very well qualified on Bargain Hunt.

0:04:570:04:59

-Now, the money moment. Here we go, £300 apiece.

-Thank you.

0:04:590:05:03

You know the rules, your experts await

0:05:030:05:05

and off you go, and very, very, very good luck.

0:05:050:05:08

I love Australia.

0:05:080:05:10

Now, let's meet our experts.

0:05:120:05:15

Earning his badge for the Red Team

0:05:150:05:16

it's Thomas Plant. Dib-dib, dob-dob.

0:05:160:05:19

And hoping to snap up a bargain for the Blues,

0:05:190:05:22

it's Christina Trevanion.

0:05:220:05:24

It looks like Thomas has got two for the price of one.

0:05:260:05:29

-Twins.

-Yes.

0:05:290:05:31

-I have twins.

-Do you?

0:05:310:05:33

Yeah, but mine are fraternal so I have a boy and a girl.

0:05:330:05:35

So it's quite easy to know who's who

0:05:350:05:37

but today I'm going to have a nightmare.

0:05:370:05:39

So, ladies, £300.

0:05:390:05:42

-Yes.

-What's the plan?

0:05:420:05:44

Well, I would like to go for something

0:05:440:05:46

kind of quirky and unusual.

0:05:460:05:47

Maybe a Victorian item that nobody knows what it is any more.

0:05:470:05:50

OK.

0:05:500:05:51

-What are we into?

-Something big, something unusual.

-Yes.

0:05:510:05:54

Something that really grabs our attention.

0:05:540:05:56

Some kind of toy, really old toy. Something like that.

0:05:560:06:00

OK, right, that sounds pretty select.

0:06:000:06:02

Let's go see if we can find them.

0:06:020:06:04

-Let's go.

-OK.

0:06:040:06:06

Right, teams, your time starts now.

0:06:070:06:09

They just don't know where to start.

0:06:150:06:18

-Oh, wow.

-There's just so much to choose from.

0:06:180:06:21

There's just so many antiques, I feel slightly giddy.

0:06:210:06:24

Thomas will have to work hard to guide those twins.

0:06:240:06:27

-Sandra, what do you think we should get?

-I've no idea.

0:06:270:06:29

I feel like I'm being closed out, I'm being closed out.

0:06:290:06:31

I can see this happening.

0:06:310:06:33

You've got your hands full with those two.

0:06:330:06:35

What are the Blues after?

0:06:350:06:38

-Weird and wacky art, hugely in vogue at the moment.

-Yeah, I think so.

0:06:380:06:42

Yeah, let's go super wacky.

0:06:420:06:45

And creepy-crawly, Christina.

0:06:450:06:47

Oh, yeah. He's away!

0:06:480:06:50

He's had a coffee.

0:06:500:06:52

THEY LAUGH

0:06:520:06:54

What do you think?

0:06:540:06:55

So that's a Japanese tin plate toy there,

0:06:550:06:58

obviously a little beetle bug.

0:06:580:06:59

Just let's have a look at his little antennae

0:06:590:07:01

because don't know whether those are...

0:07:010:07:03

No, they look like they're genuine, actually.

0:07:030:07:05

And we've got obviously Made In Japan there.

0:07:050:07:07

I mean, the Japanese were brilliant at making these toys

0:07:070:07:09

and they are collectable.

0:07:090:07:11

How old do you think he might be?

0:07:110:07:12

I'd say he's, what, 1960s, 1970s?

0:07:120:07:14

-VENDOR:

-'60s.

-Yeah, 1960s.

0:07:140:07:16

-Yeah.

-He is quite cute.

0:07:160:07:18

-Really cute.

-He's great, yeah.

0:07:180:07:19

-Yeah.

-He's fantastic.

0:07:190:07:21

I like that. What could be your best price on that?

0:07:210:07:23

You've got £25 on him.

0:07:230:07:25

-£20.

-£20.

0:07:250:07:28

I mean, at auction I'd say £15-£20.

0:07:280:07:30

I'd give £15 for him, I think he's wicked.

0:07:300:07:33

-£15.

-Hours of fun.

0:07:330:07:34

-I'll do £18.

-£18.

0:07:340:07:37

£17?

0:07:370:07:38

-Oh, go on, then! Go on, then.

-Just to get rid of her.

0:07:380:07:41

Oh, my goodness me. Did you want to talk to me about that or...?

0:07:430:07:47

-No?

-Deal.

-Fine!

0:07:470:07:50

These girls sure know how to negotiate.

0:07:500:07:52

-Do you like it?

-I think he's lovely.

0:07:520:07:54

-Do you like it?

-Yes.

-You happy?

0:07:540:07:56

-Yeah, I think he's really good fun.

-Well done. Well done, little bug.

0:07:560:08:00

The Blues have bagged a buy with that beautiful bug.

0:08:000:08:03

Is Thomas having any luck steering Susan and Sandra

0:08:030:08:06

in the right direction?

0:08:060:08:07

What about this one?

0:08:070:08:09

Carry on, carry on. Carry on.

0:08:090:08:11

-What about that?

-No.

-No?

0:08:110:08:13

-Too modern?

-Let's look.

0:08:130:08:15

That's a no, then.

0:08:150:08:16

Oh, wait. What have you found, Thomas?

0:08:180:08:21

A pair of identical chairs for identical twins.

0:08:210:08:24

-Couldn't be better.

-Perfect!

0:08:240:08:26

-Have a rest.

-Perfect.

0:08:260:08:28

-Let's just check them over first.

-OK.

0:08:280:08:29

They are a little bit wobbly but that's not the end of the world.

0:08:330:08:36

They have called them 1920s/1930s inlaid chairs.

0:08:360:08:40

Yes, they are inlaid. They're inlaid with vegetable ivory

0:08:400:08:44

which is not ivory, it's nuts and then satin wood.

0:08:440:08:48

And this is rosewood here

0:08:480:08:51

and then we've got sort of like a mahogany here

0:08:510:08:53

inlaid with satin wood.

0:08:530:08:55

They're really quite fun, aren't they?

0:08:550:08:57

-Yes, I like those. Do you, Sandra?

-Yeah, I do and the price is good.

0:08:570:08:59

And they're not 1920s, they're a little bit earlier.

0:08:590:09:02

-Oh, are they?

-They're Edwardian.

0:09:020:09:03

-Oh, are they?

-Yeah, they're turn-of-the-century.

0:09:030:09:05

This is re-covered though, isn't it?

0:09:050:09:07

They're recovered in green velour which is ghastly, isn't it?

0:09:070:09:11

THEY LAUGH

0:09:110:09:12

And you could really do something with them

0:09:120:09:14

by changing the upholstery and making them look rather good.

0:09:140:09:17

I think you need to get a bit more off.

0:09:170:09:18

-You think we could make a profit on that?

-Yes, I do.

-You do? OK.

0:09:180:09:21

Pays to know an expert, doesn't it, Sandra?

0:09:210:09:23

I would say you should get these...

0:09:230:09:26

I'd have a conversation and say, "Could I have them?"

0:09:260:09:28

-And if she says £40, I would do it.

-£40 for the two?

0:09:280:09:30

Shh!

0:09:300:09:33

-See what you can do.

-OK.

-Right.

-I've got real faith in you two.

0:09:330:09:37

OK, no problem.

0:09:370:09:38

What would be your best price on these pair of chairs here, please?

0:09:380:09:42

-The two of them?

-For the two of them.

-£50.

-50?

-Oh, dear.

0:09:420:09:47

-That's a bit high.

-They're a bit wobbly.

0:09:470:09:49

Yeah, but they're 100 years old

0:09:490:09:51

so I think we're all getting a bit wobbly, I know I am.

0:09:510:09:54

-I'd go a couple more pounds to £48.

-£45 and we'll take them.

0:09:540:09:57

No, I'm going to stick at £48.

0:09:570:09:59

The first time they've been out and they really are nice chairs.

0:09:590:10:02

Yes, they are. Really caught our attention. They're beautiful.

0:10:020:10:05

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much for your help.

0:10:050:10:07

-What are you going to do?

-It's £48.

0:10:070:10:09

-Yeah, are you going to buy them?

-Yes.

-Yes.

0:10:090:10:11

Shake the lady's hand.

0:10:110:10:12

-Thank you, very much.

-You're welcome.

0:10:120:10:14

-Well done.

-Thank you.

-First item.

-Yes.

0:10:140:10:17

-Let's move on.

-Yes, we better.

0:10:170:10:19

No sitting around.

0:10:190:10:21

Hurrah, eh?

0:10:210:10:22

This beautiful pair and Thomas have a twin set of chairs.

0:10:220:10:26

It only took them 22 minutes.

0:10:260:10:29

Now, the Blues are hunting for something weird

0:10:310:10:34

but how about something ghoulish?

0:10:340:10:37

Good day, ladies.

0:10:370:10:39

You have got... Wacky, quirky.

0:10:390:10:43

-Wow!

-Very thin.

0:10:430:10:44

He even has a whistle.

0:10:440:10:46

THEY LAUGH

0:10:460:10:47

-He's even is ready to party, as well, isn't he?

-Wow.

0:10:470:10:49

-What you think of him?

-He's really cool but...

0:10:490:10:53

You said you wanted quirky.

0:10:530:10:55

I did want quirky but what would you do with him?

0:10:550:10:57

-Scare people.

-Scare people in the window.

0:10:580:11:01

-Bring him out at Halloween.

-Yeah.

0:11:010:11:02

What do you think though? Because it fits the remit, does it not?

0:11:020:11:05

It does fit the remit but I'm kind of after something

0:11:050:11:08

where you don't know what it is

0:11:080:11:10

and I think for us this is quite obviously a skeleton.

0:11:100:11:12

Yeah.

0:11:140:11:15

THEY LAUGH

0:11:150:11:17

Challenging me today, aren't you? I know there's always one.

0:11:170:11:20

Oh, rejected again.

0:11:200:11:23

Oh, chin up, old boy.

0:11:230:11:24

Now, are the Reds impressing Thomas with their finds yet?

0:11:280:11:31

-Keep looking.

-Keep looking.

-You're doing well. You're doing well.

0:11:310:11:34

But let's carry on.

0:11:340:11:36

Come on, you lot.

0:11:360:11:37

You still have two items each to find.

0:11:370:11:41

What's this?

0:11:410:11:42

The Blues are looking puzzled.

0:11:420:11:45

No.

0:11:450:11:46

Don't pull it, don't pull it!

0:11:460:11:48

Press this up here.

0:11:480:11:50

And then it comes out.

0:11:500:11:52

A card case. Isn't that lovely?

0:11:520:11:54

-Is it like cards like playing cards?

-Yeah.

0:11:540:11:57

So it's red lacquer in there with brass bound.

0:11:570:12:01

Lovely that we've got these wonderful moths and bats

0:12:010:12:03

and they were symbols of good luck.

0:12:030:12:04

-Right.

-That's really lovely. £98.

0:12:040:12:08

What could you do that for?

0:12:080:12:10

-£70 it's worth for you.

-£70.

-£70.

0:12:100:12:13

Can we take a look at some of the cards?

0:12:130:12:15

-Yeah.

-Pull!

0:12:150:12:17

Oh, the Joker. How appropriate.

0:12:180:12:21

And another Joker!

0:12:210:12:25

This is a sign.

0:12:250:12:26

Let's hope it's a sign of good luck, hey, girls?

0:12:270:12:30

-What do you think?

-Yeah, I really like that. I think it's really nice.

0:12:300:12:33

I like the fact that its use isn't immediately obvious

0:12:330:12:35

-and that's exactly what you wanted.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:12:350:12:38

At auction I would say £50-£70.

0:12:380:12:42

I think it's quite fun. Is there anything more...?

0:12:420:12:44

Could you do £50 on it? Would £50 be a possibility?

0:12:440:12:48

-£60.

-£60.

0:12:480:12:50

-It's £60 minimum.

-OK.

0:12:500:12:51

-What's your thoughts?

-I'm happy with that.

-Yeah.

0:12:510:12:53

-What do you think?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-£60?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:12:530:12:57

Good. Thank you very much.

0:12:570:13:00

I think it's a sign, there's a little R on the Joker.

0:13:000:13:03

Rachel.

0:13:030:13:04

So your fortune's in the cards, Rachel. Well, hopefully.

0:13:050:13:09

We've bought two things so we've just got one more thing to buy.

0:13:090:13:12

I'm quite aware that if I don't keep them focused

0:13:120:13:14

we're going to completely run out of time.

0:13:140:13:16

Because although it sounds like we've got quite a lot of time left,

0:13:160:13:19

it will go in the blink of an eye.

0:13:190:13:21

Speaking of time, you are half an hour into the shop, teams.

0:13:220:13:25

How are those twins getting on?

0:13:250:13:28

So is that solid silver?

0:13:310:13:33

-Well, it would be very thin silver.

-Is it fairly new?

0:13:330:13:36

No, this would be more Edwardian. Here's the hallmarks.

0:13:360:13:40

What's the price of this? £25.

0:13:400:13:42

I mean, it's what they're worth, between £20 and £30.

0:13:420:13:46

-Look into the mirror.

-Look in the mirror.

0:13:460:13:47

I think I'm seeing double.

0:13:470:13:50

On reflection, the mirror is not for them.

0:13:500:13:53

And it seems the Blues have lost their way.

0:13:530:13:55

I don't think we've been down here, have we?

0:13:570:13:59

-Ladies, I fear we're drifting.

-We are.

-Yeah.

0:14:010:14:04

It's about time those Reds secured a second item,

0:14:050:14:07

don't you think, Thomas?

0:14:070:14:09

We've bought one item and we've kind of like got 25 minutes left.

0:14:090:14:13

-Oh, right, we better get a move on.

-We better get a move on.

0:14:130:14:17

-I've just seen something, I'm looking at it now.

-OK.

0:14:170:14:20

I want to have a look at this ottoman. It's mad, it's unusual.

0:14:200:14:24

Look at this. It's regal, it's camp.

0:14:240:14:26

-It looks very theatrical, doesn't it?

-It is, absolutely.

0:14:260:14:30

What is it? There's the ticket.

0:14:300:14:32

Here we are, a Victorian upholstered scroll slipper box

0:14:320:14:35

for putting one's slippers on.

0:14:350:14:38

I think it looks old and faded and tatty.

0:14:380:14:41

-Really?

-I do, yes.

0:14:410:14:42

But that's what the antiques business is about, old things.

0:14:420:14:46

Nothing wrong with being old, faded and tatty, Susan.

0:14:460:14:50

Or is it Sandra, Susan? Oh, dear.

0:14:500:14:53

-Sandra, what do you think?

-I think it's brilliant.

0:14:530:14:55

I think it's absolutely brilliant. It's well sprung.

0:14:550:14:58

You like the springing to it.

0:14:580:14:59

-I like the springing to it, yeah.

-You wanted something different.

0:14:590:15:02

-Something to complete the set.

-And this is different, isn't it?

0:15:020:15:04

-You said that at the same time, didn't you?

-We did.

0:15:040:15:07

-We do that quite often.

-We do that a lot.

0:15:070:15:08

-Finish each other's sentences off as well.

-I bet you do. I love that.

0:15:080:15:11

-Madam, is this yours?

-It is mine, yes.

0:15:110:15:14

Now, you've got £98 on it.

0:15:140:15:18

I'm here, I'm almost on my knees.

0:15:180:15:20

I can see, I like it.

0:15:200:15:22

How much?

0:15:220:15:24

£80.

0:15:240:15:25

-Oh!

-Oh, dear.

0:15:250:15:27

I really am on my knees now.

0:15:270:15:29

THEY LAUGH

0:15:290:15:32

-£70.

-Is that your best price?

0:15:320:15:35

-Can you go a bit lower than that?

-You wouldn't go to £60, would you?

0:15:350:15:38

£65, in the middle. And that's it.

0:15:380:15:39

-In the middle.

-What do you think, Sandra?

0:15:390:15:41

-What do you think?

-We all saved a bit of face there.

0:15:410:15:43

-I think that's good.

-Do you?

0:15:430:15:44

-Do you really like it?

-I think that's a fair bargain.

0:15:440:15:46

-Oh, looks like Thomas has bought it already.

-I've bought it anyway.

0:15:460:15:49

-He's bought it anyway.

-Thank you very much.

0:15:490:15:51

-Thank you.

-Brilliant. Thank you.

-Second item.

0:15:510:15:53

-I think it's marvellous.

-I like that, it's different.

0:15:530:15:55

It is different.

0:15:550:15:57

-We need to buy another one then, don't we, Sandra?

-OK, right.

0:15:570:16:00

That's your second item, Reds. Well done.

0:16:000:16:02

But with only 15 minutes left at the shop,

0:16:020:16:04

the Blues are having a change of heart.

0:16:040:16:06

At the beginning we saw a skeleton and at the time I wasn't too sure.

0:16:080:16:11

I wanted to have a little look around first to compare

0:16:110:16:14

but as we've gone round

0:16:140:16:15

I think I've started to fall in love with him a little bit.

0:16:150:16:17

Yeah. It's just different. Haven't seen anything like that.

0:16:170:16:20

Fallen in love with a skeleton?

0:16:200:16:23

He's not my usual type of guy, to be honest.

0:16:230:16:25

You know we actually have to buy these things to sell them.

0:16:250:16:28

-Oh, I can't keep him?

-No.

-OK.

0:16:280:16:30

Do you want to go and see if he's still there?

0:16:320:16:34

-Yeah, let's go and check that out.

-Yeah.

0:16:340:16:36

Love is in the air, I can feel it in me bones.

0:16:360:16:40

Now, is Thomas having any luck getting a third item

0:16:400:16:42

for Susie and Sandy?

0:16:420:16:44

This is the most frustrating time.

0:16:440:16:47

We have got loads of money

0:16:470:16:49

but we haven't seen anything we really, really want and I am

0:16:490:16:52

worried that we could buy something for a lot of money and it bomb

0:16:520:16:56

at the auction just because we want to spend money

0:16:560:16:59

and not think about it.

0:16:590:17:00

And weighing heavily on Rachel's mind, it's still Mr Skinny Bones.

0:17:010:17:04

Your dream man.

0:17:040:17:06

-Yeah!

-Here he is!

0:17:060:17:08

-Here we go.

-Still looking very skeleton-y.

0:17:100:17:13

-Yes.

-I have to say, he's not old but that's great.

0:17:130:17:17

I'm not looking for an older guy.

0:17:170:17:19

We've got £120 on him. That is a lot of money to spend...

0:17:210:17:25

-On a skeleton.

-On a plastic...

0:17:250:17:27

He's a bit bendy, to be honest.

0:17:270:17:29

OK, if we can get it for a good price,

0:17:290:17:31

if we can get it for about £60 or £70, I think let's go for it.

0:17:310:17:34

If we can't, then we're just going to have to move on.

0:17:340:17:36

But we are really, really, really running out of time now.

0:17:360:17:39

So let's go and ask. Go, go, go. Deliberating.

0:17:390:17:41

Well, he's really got under Rachel's skin.

0:17:410:17:44

Let's see if she can work her charms on the dealer.

0:17:440:17:47

-What's your name?

-Gary.

-Gary, lovely to meet you, Gary.

0:17:470:17:49

-What an attractive team.

-I think we should call him Gary.

0:17:490:17:52

-Yeah!

-He should be Gary.

-Yes, Gary the skeleton.

0:17:520:17:54

If you're nice to us we might call him Gary.

0:17:540:17:56

I think really we'd be looking around the £60 mark.

0:17:560:17:59

-Can't do it.

-Is there anything better you could do on that?

0:17:590:18:02

£75. But that is it.

0:18:020:18:04

You are gambling on an impulse buyer...

0:18:040:18:07

-Who doesn't realise the value.

-Who thinks it's a bit of fun.

0:18:070:18:10

Like we do. Who obviously wants a date like you do.

0:18:100:18:13

-Right, what's the decision?

-Yeah, let's go for him.

-Gary.

0:18:150:18:19

Well done, girls. You bagged yourself your third item and a date.

0:18:210:18:24

Come on, Reds. There's just five minutes left to shop.

0:18:260:18:28

Where's your third item?

0:18:280:18:30

-I wonder what that is.

-Open it and smell it.

0:18:340:18:37

My sense of smell isn't that great.

0:18:370:18:40

It probably would have been cleaned out. How much is it?

0:18:400:18:43

-I've got it for £120.

-£120.

0:18:430:18:47

What's your best price on that?

0:18:470:18:49

Best would be £90. £90 on that.

0:18:490:18:52

-I like that.

-It's quite nice, Sandra.

-It's quite fun, isn't it?

0:18:520:18:55

-It is an interesting tantalus.

-It is.

0:18:550:18:58

-£85.

-Mahogany box, moulded glass, the stoppers,

0:18:580:19:02

the tops are something else, though. They're really good.

0:19:020:19:06

Yeah, I like that. I think we should go for it.

0:19:060:19:09

We haven't got a lot of time left really to make a decision,

0:19:090:19:12

-have we, either?

-So what was your best price on that again?

0:19:120:19:14

-£90.

-£90, you couldn't go any lower than that?

0:19:140:19:17

I could do it for about £85.

0:19:170:19:20

I would prefer to see it at £70.

0:19:200:19:23

-Oh, would you?

-My honest opinion.

0:19:230:19:26

-How low can you go?

-I'll do £80 and that's my best.

0:19:260:19:30

-I think it's really good, I like it.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

0:19:300:19:32

-It's different.

-You want to go for it?

0:19:320:19:34

-Yeah.

-How long has it been going out for?

0:19:340:19:36

-First time I've put it out.

-Fantastic.

0:19:360:19:39

That's three first-time items.

0:19:390:19:42

-Oh, good.

-£80.

-Thank you.

0:19:420:19:44

-That's brilliant.

-Thank you.

0:19:440:19:47

Stop clowning around, you lot, because time is up.

0:19:470:19:49

BOX PLAYS POP GOES THE WEASEL

0:19:490:19:51

Oh! See what I mean?

0:19:510:19:54

You girls have exhausted me.

0:19:540:19:57

-Yes, we're exhausted ourselves, to be honest.

-You've exhausted me.

0:19:570:20:01

And you've exhausted me. Let's remind ourselves what they bought.

0:20:010:20:05

The twins couldn't resist a twin set of Edwardian chairs for £48.

0:20:060:20:10

They put their feet up on an Art Deco ottoman for £65.

0:20:120:20:15

And they poured out £80 on a travelling tantalus

0:20:170:20:20

complete with bottles.

0:20:200:20:21

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

-It was.

-Yes.

0:20:220:20:24

-Anyway, Tom, was it fun?

-It was fun.

0:20:240:20:27

I mean, I thought I could manage twins, but no.

0:20:270:20:29

Anyway, you're both equally gorgeous.

0:20:290:20:31

Just tell me, which is your favourite piece?

0:20:310:20:34

Mine is the unusual tantalus.

0:20:340:20:35

-That is your favourite?

-It is, it is.

-Do you agree with that, sister?

0:20:350:20:38

-No, I like the chairs best.

-OK, very good.

0:20:380:20:40

Which is going to bring the biggest profit?

0:20:400:20:42

-The chairs.

-Tantalus.

0:20:420:20:43

There we go. This is the joy of being a twin.

0:20:430:20:46

-How much did you spend, girls?

-£193.

0:20:460:20:49

£193 which leaves me with £107.

0:20:490:20:54

£107.

0:20:540:20:55

-There we are.

-That's coming from your hot pocket.

0:20:550:20:58

Very good. Right then, Tom. There's a little task for you now.

0:20:580:21:01

This is where Thomas Plant shines.

0:21:010:21:03

He's going to go and find your bonus buy.

0:21:030:21:06

We've left you a lot of money, Thomas.

0:21:060:21:07

I know, I'm going to love it as well.

0:21:070:21:10

OK, on that happy note, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought?

0:21:100:21:15

They crawled off with a tin toy plate ladybird for £17.

0:21:160:21:20

They gambled £60 on a Chinese red lacquered playing card case.

0:21:220:21:26

They loved every bone in his body,

0:21:290:21:31

a skeleton they call Gary stole their hearts for a mere £70.

0:21:310:21:36

OK, Rach, Christina, Christina, was that fun or what?

0:21:360:21:39

-It was, it was brilliant fun.

-How lovely. So, da business.

0:21:390:21:42

Which is your favourite piece, Rach?

0:21:420:21:43

-My favourite piece has to be the skeleton, yeah.

-Why?

0:21:430:21:46

Well, he's just so different, isn't he?

0:21:460:21:49

I mean, who thinks to go to an antiques fair

0:21:490:21:51

and come away with a life-size skeleton?

0:21:510:21:52

Exactly, sounds absolutely deadly to me.

0:21:520:21:54

THEY LAUGH

0:21:540:21:55

-OK, Christina. What is your favourite piece?

-The lady beetle.

0:21:550:21:59

The lady beetle.

0:21:590:22:00

Yeah, because it's really cute.

0:22:000:22:02

It's exactly what we wanted and, yeah.

0:22:020:22:03

That's your favourite-favourite.

0:22:030:22:05

-Is it going to bring in the biggest profit?

-I think it will, actually.

0:22:050:22:08

-Do you reckon?

-Yeah, I think so.

-OK.

0:22:080:22:10

And you agree with that, Rach, do you?

0:22:100:22:12

I think it's fair to say that the skeleton probably

0:22:120:22:14

might not fetch as much profit.

0:22:140:22:16

-So we'll say the lady beetle.

-We'll say the lady beetle.

0:22:160:22:18

-How much did you spend?

-We spent £147 today.

0:22:180:22:21

-£147. I have £153 of left over money, please.

-That is right.

0:22:210:22:24

-There you go.

-Thank you very much.

0:22:240:22:26

£153 go straight over to Christina.

0:22:260:22:27

There we go, darling.

0:22:270:22:28

You love this bit, don't you? It's one of your favourite bits.

0:22:280:22:31

It is.

0:22:310:22:32

Meanwhile, we're heading off to the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham.

0:22:320:22:35

Gosh, how spangly.

0:22:350:22:37

Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter is Britain's largest volume

0:22:400:22:44

producer of gold jewellery, which is exported all over the world.

0:22:440:22:48

It's also home to the world's largest assay office

0:22:480:22:51

which hallmarks around 12 million items a year.

0:22:510:22:54

I am at the Museum Of The Jewellery Quarter

0:22:550:22:58

which occupies the site of the former jewellers

0:22:580:23:03

Smith & Pepper who traded from this address from their foundation

0:23:030:23:08

in 1899 right up until the time that they closed in 1981.

0:23:080:23:14

Let's have a butcher's, shall we?

0:23:140:23:16

I'm here to meet the museum curator Oliver Buckley.

0:23:230:23:26

Ah, Oliver.

0:23:260:23:28

Ah, hello, Tim. Welcome to the Museum Of The Jewellery Quarter.

0:23:280:23:31

I can hardly believe this is a museum. How did it all come about?

0:23:310:23:35

So Smith & Pepper were a man called Charles Smith

0:23:350:23:38

and his uncle Edwin Pepper who were the founding partners that

0:23:380:23:42

came together to form a new business.

0:23:420:23:45

In 1899, Charles Smith took over as the managing director himself

0:23:450:23:49

and three of his own children went into the business making

0:23:490:23:52

jewellery here until they retired, basically, in the 1980s.

0:23:520:23:56

In fact, it was Charles Smith's daughter, Olive,

0:23:560:23:58

known to the staff as Miss Olive,

0:23:580:24:00

who ran this little office part of the factory.

0:24:000:24:03

-And they clearly didn't like change much.

-No, absolutely.

0:24:030:24:06

In fact, much of the inside of the museum as it is now

0:24:060:24:10

is very much stuck in the 1920s, 1930s in terms of its decor.

0:24:100:24:15

We found actually 70,000 objects here that we could look at

0:24:150:24:18

and record, telling about history of the whole 80 to 100 years

0:24:180:24:22

of jewellery making tradition.

0:24:220:24:24

Fascinating, isn't it?

0:24:240:24:26

We've got an up-to-date piece of office equipment here

0:24:260:24:29

which seems to be made out of two-by-four.

0:24:290:24:32

-It looks like a dumbwaiter, is it?

-It is, yes.

0:24:320:24:35

And what would go in here is those orders

0:24:350:24:36

for what the factory needed to make. They'd put those in there

0:24:360:24:40

and her brother Tom down below, he would start making those things

0:24:400:24:43

and when they were all finished, all polished up,

0:24:430:24:45

they'd put them in little trays and up they would come

0:24:450:24:48

ready for the girls in the office to dispatch in boxes and send out.

0:24:480:24:51

-So this is a vital piece of kit.

-Very much so.

0:24:510:24:54

We've even got original jam pots from the factory

0:24:540:24:56

where they would make a piece of toast

0:24:560:24:58

and Miss Olive would send it down to Mr Tom down below, her brother,

0:24:580:25:01

and he could have a little piece of toast or a cup of tea.

0:25:010:25:03

How marvellous. Anyway, it all happened downstairs.

0:25:030:25:06

-Shall we have a look?

-Let's have a look, yes.

0:25:060:25:09

Oh, look. The downstairs bit of our dumbwaiter.

0:25:140:25:17

I feel the toast coming down.

0:25:170:25:19

That's absolutely right because here we are in Mr Tom's work space

0:25:190:25:23

and he is the factory manager.

0:25:230:25:25

So his sister is up above in the office and he is waiting here.

0:25:250:25:28

He comes in very early, 6.00 in the morning

0:25:280:25:31

ready for his morning cup of tea.

0:25:310:25:33

And we've got laid out here the basic components of a bracelet.

0:25:330:25:37

This is one of Smith & Pepper's real signature pieces.

0:25:370:25:40

These bamboo bangles were very, very fashionable

0:25:400:25:43

around the turn-of-the-century and into the 1920s

0:25:430:25:46

because, of course, Britain had an empire

0:25:460:25:48

and people were going to places like China,

0:25:480:25:51

and the designs of things like bamboo

0:25:510:25:53

were influencing the fashions in jewellery.

0:25:530:25:55

What about this serpent necklace and bangle?

0:25:550:25:59

We see quite a few of those in the fairs.

0:25:590:26:01

Yes, well, actually, this is not so much a bangle as an armlet.

0:26:010:26:05

It's got a spring inside it so it would cling to a lady's arm

0:26:050:26:09

and these became very, very fashionable

0:26:090:26:11

around the time of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamen in 1922.

0:26:110:26:16

They came back into fashion in the 1960s when Elizabeth Taylor

0:26:160:26:20

was in a film with Richard Burton,

0:26:200:26:22

a famous film called Cleopatra.

0:26:220:26:24

And throughout the film

0:26:240:26:25

she wears a snake armlet.

0:26:250:26:27

So everyone wanted to have one of these.

0:26:270:26:29

Smith & Pepper had the tools and just put them

0:26:290:26:32

straight back into production.

0:26:320:26:33

Before ultimately the serpent bit Elizabeth Taylor

0:26:330:26:37

and Cleopatra was no more.

0:26:370:26:39

Indeed, that's right.

0:26:390:26:41

Well, absolutely fascinating.

0:26:410:26:43

I can't thank you enough, Oliver, for giving us

0:26:430:26:46

an insight into your brilliant museum.

0:26:460:26:48

The big question now is, of course, are our teams over at the auction

0:26:480:26:52

going to slither away and make a good profit?

0:26:520:26:56

Well, we've trotted along to Richard Winterton Auctioneers

0:27:050:27:08

in Lichfield to be with the great man himself, Richard Winterton.

0:27:080:27:12

-And welcome to you.

-Thank you very much. Lovely to be back.

0:27:120:27:15

Now, these Reds have gone slightly off-piste

0:27:150:27:18

and they've bought two inlaid chairs which they call parlour chairs

0:27:180:27:21

but you could put them wherever you like, really, couldn't you?

0:27:210:27:24

-You could. But I think it is part of a bigger suite, isn't it?

-It is.

0:27:240:27:27

With a lady's chair, gent's chair, do you think

0:27:270:27:29

-would have gone with it as well?

-Probably.

-Yeah, all sorts.

0:27:290:27:31

But it's beautifully inlaid and beautifully made and ready to go.

0:27:310:27:35

What's your best estimate?

0:27:350:27:36

-We have gone £30-£40.

-Oh, steady!

0:27:360:27:39

£15 each? For all that inlay and stuff?

0:27:390:27:44

I know, but there's only so much you can do with it.

0:27:440:27:46

-£48 they paid.

-See? We're not far off.

-Not far off.

0:27:460:27:49

But it's very, very vital to get up those last few pounds,

0:27:490:27:53

as you well know.

0:27:530:27:54

Next up we have a small ottoman and it certainly is a small one,

0:27:540:27:59

-not that size should matter, you understand.

-Of course, Tim.

0:27:590:28:02

But there is a bit of a move for at the end of the bed ottomans

0:28:020:28:07

and the like, so it's had a bit of a comeback in the last year or so

0:28:070:28:10

so we've gone £40-£60.

0:28:100:28:11

Have you? £40-£60. Very good. £65 they paid.

0:28:110:28:14

-Now, the last object, I have a funny feeling came from a yacht.

-OK.

0:28:140:28:18

I'm getting a yacht vibration

0:28:180:28:20

-because it is made out of solid mahogany.

-OK.

0:28:200:28:23

It has got that kind of chunky yacht fitting look to it.

0:28:230:28:27

It's a bit of an industrial box the way it looks but

0:28:270:28:30

I can see where you're coming from for making it secure and the likes,

0:28:300:28:34

and the bottles are quite attractive in there as well.

0:28:340:28:36

They're fairly crude bottles but I like the tops, though.

0:28:360:28:39

Of course these bottles are odd, aren't they?

0:28:390:28:41

Because it says Haywards on the side of the bottle,

0:28:410:28:44

like cast into the glass. And do you know anything about Haywards?

0:28:440:28:48

-I don't.

-Nor do I.

0:28:480:28:49

But they might have been purveyors of hooch in the '30s, mightn't they?

0:28:490:28:53

Could well be. So my £40-£50 is probably too low now.

0:28:530:28:56

Well, I don't know because boat fittings, if you can sow

0:28:560:28:59

the seed about a boat fitting, it does help the sale, doesn't it?

0:28:590:29:01

-Yeah, it does.

-Anyway, £80 paid.

0:29:010:29:04

And on the face of it, if the drinks box doesn't do very well

0:29:040:29:07

and the ottoman doesn't do very well, they're going to need

0:29:070:29:09

their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.

0:29:090:29:12

Well, Sue, where is Sandra?

0:29:130:29:16

Sandra hasn't been very well, actually.

0:29:160:29:18

She's in Australia and unfortunately she has been in hospital

0:29:180:29:22

but she's recovering now and she's at home,

0:29:220:29:25

so, I'm very pleased to say.

0:29:250:29:27

Good. She was planning then to fly back for the auction.

0:29:270:29:30

Yes, she had a flight booked.

0:29:300:29:32

She's absolutely devastated that she can't be here.

0:29:320:29:34

-Oh, dear! Well, that is bad luck but she's getting better?

-She is.

0:29:340:29:38

-Yes.

-OK. Now, this is the leftover lolly moment, OK?

0:29:380:29:41

So, for Susan and Sandra in Australia,

0:29:410:29:45

show us what your bonus buy is, please.

0:29:450:29:47

Well, I could have spent it all

0:29:470:29:49

but I didn't.

0:29:490:29:50

-I bought this.

-Oh, wow!

0:29:500:29:53

That is unbelievable.

0:29:530:29:54

This is a keepsake box from the Second World War.

0:29:540:29:58

Oh, that's really special.

0:29:580:30:00

So somebody has painted this after VE Day.

0:30:000:30:02

Somebody... It's for Mrs Clough, obviously his wife or his mummy,

0:30:020:30:08

and he's painted this and he's got it all on there

0:30:080:30:11

and it's just a lovely thing to keep in your shed.

0:30:110:30:13

-So how much did you spend?

-It was a grand total of...£16.

0:30:130:30:19

-That's unbelievable!

-It was £16, yeah.

0:30:190:30:22

It really could make a good profit then, couldn't it?

0:30:220:30:25

It could double its money, it could. It's what we're after.

0:30:250:30:27

-That's your prediction, is it, Tom?

-Yeah.

-Double your money.

0:30:270:30:30

-You don't pick right now.

-OK.

0:30:300:30:32

You and hopefully Sandra via the internet will be able to make

0:30:320:30:37

that decision during the course of the auction,

0:30:370:30:39

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

0:30:390:30:42

what the jolly old auctioneer thinks about Tom's box.

0:30:420:30:45

-Right, Richard.

-OK.

0:30:460:30:49

A pretty dull and ordinary shed work box

0:30:490:30:52

but it's intriguing, isn't it?

0:30:520:30:54

Yeah, it's lovely, isn't it? And poignant. It's just fabulous.

0:30:540:30:57

-It's a one-off, isn't it?

-Yep.

0:30:570:30:59

That Mrs Clough had her name almost professionally painted on that box.

0:30:590:31:05

But all the rest of it is done by a child, isn't it?

0:31:050:31:07

You've got Popeye here on the end, Fido, another cartoon character

0:31:070:31:12

running like stink across the front of the box. I think it's charming.

0:31:120:31:16

It is, it's fun.

0:31:160:31:17

So, what's a little emotive box like that worth?

0:31:170:31:20

We've gone £30-£40.

0:31:200:31:21

-Have you really?

-Yeah.

-£16 paid by Thomas Plant.

0:31:210:31:25

OK, got to be a winner. Lovely.

0:31:250:31:27

I'll pop that, I think, in pride of place

0:31:270:31:30

on the top of our tiny ottoman.

0:31:300:31:32

Brilliant. Now, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.

0:31:320:31:35

We've got a Japanese tin plate ladybird.

0:31:350:31:38

It is what it says on the tin, isn't it?

0:31:380:31:41

The top end of toys will fly in a lot of interest

0:31:410:31:45

but these would have been turned out in their many thousands.

0:31:450:31:48

Yes, that is the problem.

0:31:480:31:50

If it needs to be rare from the '50s

0:31:500:31:52

if it's going to make any money.

0:31:520:31:53

-Yes.

-OK. So, what are you saying?

0:31:530:31:55

-You're saying £10-£20?

-£10-£20.

0:31:550:31:57

Well, that might hop along all right. £17 they paid.

0:31:570:31:59

-That's about right, isn't it?

-Yeah, it is. OK, fine.

-Yeah.

0:31:590:32:02

Next, we've got the brass mounted lacquer box.

0:32:020:32:06

Now, how old is that, Richard?

0:32:060:32:08

I would have thought a month or two.

0:32:080:32:10

Oh, right. If it is brand-new, it ain't worth much, is it?

0:32:100:32:13

No, we've got £20 on it.

0:32:130:32:14

OK, well, £60 was paid.

0:32:140:32:16

-So that is a bit of a hole. Anyway, moving on.

-OK.

0:32:160:32:19

Talking of holes.

0:32:190:32:20

The next object,

0:32:200:32:22

I don't think we've ever sold a medical skeleton before.

0:32:220:32:26

-Because that is brilliant, isn't it?

-And fun.

0:32:260:32:28

It'd be a few hundred pounds, you know, in a medical school.

0:32:280:32:31

Must be, mustn't it, because it all will articulate and work properly.

0:32:310:32:35

I do think it's a fantastic object for me.

0:32:350:32:38

-How much?

-£50-£80.

-OK.

0:32:380:32:41

£70 paid. I still think £70 is dirt cheap because if it doesn't

0:32:410:32:45

do very well, they're in deep shtuck and they will need their bonus buy.

0:32:450:32:48

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

0:32:480:32:51

-Christina, Rachel, Christina.

-Oh, yes!

0:32:510:32:54

How lovely to have two Christinas. A brace of Christinas and a Rach.

0:32:550:32:59

Now, listen, girls, you spent £147

0:32:590:33:01

and you gave our Christina £153 to buy your bonus buy.

0:33:010:33:05

So, Christina, what did you find?

0:33:050:33:07

-I'd like you to try and figure out what it is.

-Oh.

-Oh.

0:33:070:33:10

It looks a little bit like...

0:33:100:33:12

Oh, so it's...

0:33:120:33:13

It doesn't actually open?

0:33:130:33:15

It doesn't open. Is it broken?

0:33:150:33:16

Is it broken? Has she bought broken...

0:33:160:33:20

It does! Oh, my goodness. This is the magic of it, you see?

0:33:200:33:23

If you turn the top

0:33:230:33:26

it's actually a hip flask.

0:33:260:33:28

-Well, well, well.

-So I hope that I've fulfilled one of our criteria.

0:33:280:33:34

It looks like a cigarette case but it's actually a hip flask

0:33:340:33:37

and it's just a bit of fun.

0:33:370:33:39

-I spent £28 on it.

-Is that all?

-Really?

-£28?

0:33:390:33:43

-That's really good.

-£28.

0:33:430:33:44

Now, how many of these have you ever seen in your life before?

0:33:440:33:47

-That's the first one.

-Funnily enough.

0:33:470:33:48

-That's what we like.

-Yeah.

-Funnily enough.

0:33:480:33:50

THEY LAUGH

0:33:500:33:51

You don't pick now but why don't we find out,

0:33:510:33:53

for the audience at home, what the auctioneer thinks about the flask.

0:33:530:33:57

-OK, Richard, have a cigar.

-Yes, this is fab.

-Yeah.

0:33:580:34:03

-You're trying to trick me.

-Would I do that, Rich?

-You would.

0:34:030:34:07

You would. But this is just a fun piece, beautifully made.

0:34:070:34:11

It's a great thing. I love this.

0:34:110:34:14

A really, really nice object.

0:34:140:34:16

That in silver is worth £400, isn't it?

0:34:160:34:18

-Yes.

-At least. What's it worth, mate, in plate?

0:34:180:34:21

We've done £40-£50.

0:34:210:34:23

I would get on and get that bought because that is a good object.

0:34:230:34:27

OK. Christina, cunning monkey, paid £28 for it.

0:34:270:34:30

-That is the right price, isn't it?

-Yeah, brilliant.

0:34:300:34:33

Well, let's hope this team go with the hip flask, that's all I can say.

0:34:330:34:36

-Are you taking the sale today?

-I am indeed.

-We are in safe hands.

0:34:360:34:40

Also in safe hands is Sandra for the Reds who is joining us

0:34:430:34:47

from down under via the interweb.

0:34:470:34:49

Hi, Sandra, thank you for joining us on the internet.

0:34:490:34:52

'Thank you. Nice to be here.'

0:34:520:34:54

And I hope you're feeling better, darling.

0:34:540:34:56

'I am feeling a lot, lot better, thank you.'

0:34:560:34:59

What time is it in Australia?

0:34:590:35:01

-'It's now 6.36.'

-Very good.

0:35:010:35:05

It's about 11 o'clock in the morning here in jolly old Lichfield.

0:35:050:35:09

Anyway, your first lot is about to come up

0:35:090:35:12

which is the inlaid pair of chairs and here they come.

0:35:120:35:16

The inlaid parlour chairs, 1357.

0:35:160:35:18

Commission bids are with me at £10. £15.

0:35:180:35:22

£20. £20 I am bid.

0:35:220:35:24

-You paid £48.

-£20 I'm bid.

0:35:240:35:26

-Go on!

0:35:260:35:29

0:35:290:35:33

The room is out.

0:35:330:35:34

Bid's on the book at £35.

0:35:340:35:36

-Oh, well.

-All done, sold at £35.

0:35:360:35:39

Goes commission bid to...

0:35:390:35:41

£35 is minus £13. £35 is minus £13.

0:35:410:35:46

-Oh, dear, never mind.

-Not too bad.

0:35:460:35:48

The little upholstered small ottoman, nothing on my book.

0:35:480:35:51

I'm in your hands. £10 to start me. £10 to start me.

0:35:510:35:55

£10 to start me, a little ottoman at £10.

0:36:160:36:21

God, this is not going well.

0:36:210:36:22

We go the port wood tantalus there, nice looker.

0:36:220:36:25

Where are we going to be? Commission bids on the book. £20 I am bid.

0:36:250:36:28

-£25, £30, £35.

0:36:480:36:51

Just as well you're in Australia, darling.

0:36:510:36:54

Anyway, £48 is minus £68.

0:36:540:36:58

Minus £68, Sandra.

0:36:580:37:00

Minus £68. Not such a brilliant start.

0:37:000:37:03

Now, do we go with the bonus buy or not?

0:37:030:37:06

Bonus buy, Sandra. Yes, we will.

0:37:060:37:08

-Thank you, Thomas.

-Yeah, £16 paid, yes. You are going to go with it?

0:37:080:37:12

-Yes.

-OK, we're going with the bonus buy, then.

0:37:120:37:15

Thank you very much and here it comes.

0:37:150:37:17

I have this little thing here, the V-E Day keepsake box there.

0:37:170:37:21

Bit of interest on the book, £10 I am bid. £10 I am bid. £10.

0:37:210:37:25

£15. £18. £20. £25.

0:37:250:37:28

0:37:390:37:42

-Well done, Tom.

-Thank you, Thomas. Thank you.

-That is plus £14, Sandra.

0:37:420:37:46

So that takes your score down

0:37:460:37:48

-to minus £54.

-Oh, minus £50...

0:37:480:37:52

Which is not as bad as it might have been.

0:37:520:37:54

THEY CHUCKLE

0:37:540:37:56

-Anyway, thank you, Sandra.

-Thank you very much for including me.

0:37:560:37:59

-It's been wonderful. Just what the doctor ordered.

-Bye, Sandra.

0:37:590:38:04

Now, one last thing, Susan. Don't say a word to the Blues, all right?

0:38:040:38:07

I won't, no. Promise. My lips are sealed!

0:38:070:38:10

Christina, Christina, Rachel. I love that, don't you?

0:38:150:38:19

-Now, Christina, do you know how the Reds got on?

-No.

-Good.

0:38:190:38:23

Even though we have an absentee in Australia,

0:38:230:38:26

she was able to join us over the internet, which is lovely,

0:38:260:38:29

so Sandra did take part, which is lovely.

0:38:290:38:32

-First up is the Japanese tin plate ladybird.

-Good luck, girls.

0:38:320:38:35

0:38:560:38:59

No-one else coming in? £8. £8.

0:38:590:39:01

-Front row.

0:39:010:39:02

£10, front row. £10. £10, all out. Sold at £10.

0:39:020:39:08

-Yours at £10 on the floor.

-£7, that's really...

0:39:080:39:11

That is going to bug me, that is.

0:39:110:39:13

We move now to the lacquer playing card box.

-Not as bad as it could be.

0:39:350:39:38

Exactly, it did a lot better than predicted.

0:39:380:39:42

-Now, here comes Gary.

-Yes!

-Come on, Gary.

0:39:420:39:44

Now the skeleton.

0:39:440:39:46

Nothing on my book, 1381. I am in your hands.

0:39:460:39:49

0:40:260:40:28

-Look at that, girls. Plus £40.

-That is fantastic. Well done.

0:40:280:40:32

You were minus £17 so you're now plus £23.

0:40:320:40:35

How good is that?

0:40:350:40:37

So, what are you going to do, then, about the bonus buy?

0:40:370:40:40

-The hip flask.

-We'll go for it, yeah.

-You're going to go with it?

0:40:400:40:43

-Go for it, yes.

-OK.

0:40:430:40:44

Standby then, here comes the dummy hip flask. And here it comes.

0:40:440:40:48

We go to 1385, the novelty hip flask there.

0:40:480:40:52

Commission bids on the book, £20 I am bid.

0:40:520:40:54

£20 I am bid. £25. £30.

0:40:540:40:57

-We've done it.

-£35. £40. £40 I am bid.

0:40:570:40:59

£40 I am bid. £40. £45. £50.

0:40:590:41:03

£50 a bid. £50 with me. £50 I am bid.

0:41:030:41:05

Internet, you are out at £50.

0:41:050:41:07

At £50. At £50. £50 I am bid.

0:41:070:41:10

All done at £50. Sold then at £50.

0:41:100:41:14

Goes at £50. Going at £50.

0:41:140:41:17

Plus £22. You had £23, you've now got £45.

0:41:170:41:21

-Wow!

-£45 profit.

0:41:210:41:24

Well, isn't that amazing? Congratulations.

0:41:240:41:27

That is so cool. Well done. Well done, Christina.

0:41:270:41:30

Now, don't say a word to the Reds. That could be a winning score.

0:41:300:41:34

All will be revealed in a moment. Thank you very much.

0:41:340:41:36

Well, this is fun, isn't it?

0:41:420:41:43

-Now, everybody happy?

-Yes.

0:41:430:41:46

-Been chatting about the results?

-No.

0:41:460:41:48

Well, there's a fair old gap between the teams, I can tell you.

0:41:480:41:52

And the team that is running up substantially today

0:41:520:41:55

are the Reds.

0:41:550:41:57

Oh!

0:41:570:41:59

And I think we have already telephoned Sandra

0:41:590:42:02

to tell her what the score is.

0:42:020:42:04

We next need to telephone her to tell her the results

0:42:040:42:07

because minus £54 is your score.

0:42:070:42:09

She knows about that but she won't know what the Blues,

0:42:090:42:12

the victors today, have scored for a bit.

0:42:120:42:14

And I don't think going through the individual numbers

0:42:140:42:16

helps particularly.

0:42:160:42:18

-I'd rather you didn't!

-No, so we'll whitewash over that.

0:42:180:42:21

But the main thing is we're very, very sorry

0:42:210:42:23

-not to have your sister here.

-Thank you.

0:42:230:42:24

But very, very pleased that she's getting better and that

0:42:240:42:27

-is the good news, really.

-Thank you.

0:42:270:42:28

And thanks so much for joining us, Sue. That's great.

0:42:280:42:31

But the victors are going home with some cash.

0:42:310:42:33

They're going home with £45.

0:42:330:42:34

THEY GIGGLE

0:42:340:42:36

There is £45.

0:42:360:42:38

Now, who would have thought that the plastic skeleton would

0:42:380:42:41

contribute £40 profits?

0:42:410:42:43

So, he's no dead stiff.

0:42:430:42:46

And the hip flask which made a dreamy £22 profit

0:42:470:42:51

so congratulations, Christina, on that.

0:42:510:42:53

That was a very, very good buy.

0:42:530:42:55

Wasn't it good fun? It was good fun.

0:42:550:42:56

Such good fun that you ought to join us soon

0:42:560:42:58

for some more bargain-hunting. Yes? Yes!
