# I've been driving in my car | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
# It's not quite a Jaguar... # | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
Today, we've travelled east to Norfolk. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
And just look at this place! It goes on, | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
and on, and on... | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
No time to hang about! Let's go bargain hunting, yeah. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
Did you know that Norfolk is one of the few counties | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
in the United Kingdom not to have a motorway link? | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
Well, you will be reassured to know that our teams are prepared | 0:01:03 | 0:01:08 | |
to go the full distance and to drive a hard bargain. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
Let's take a sneaky peak as to what's coming up. Oh, yes. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
Some strange goings-on with the Reds... | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
Can we use this first, just to check? | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
Just check, see what it says - oh, it says yes! | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
The Blues try and busk it. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
-I've got one of these at home. -Oh, have you? Exactly the same? | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
Almost exactly the same. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
And it all goes hopping mad at the auction. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
SHE MOUTHS | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
Sensational! | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
But before all that, let's meet the teams. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
On today's programme, we have two teams of loving couples. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
For the Reds, we've got Alison and Dominic, | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
and for the Blues we have Rebecca and Anthony. Hello, everyone! | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
-ALL: Hello! -Lovely to see you. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Now, Dominic, tell me about your psychic abilities. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
Well, I do lots of different things. I'm a medium, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
that's what I do primarily, but I'm also an aura reader, | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
which I do in Harley Street. I read people's auras. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
And I also work with psychometry, | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
which is feeling objects and feeling the energy from objects. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
So, for instance, if I picked up your bow-tie, I'd probably feel that it belonged to you. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
-Would you really? -Yeah, maybe. -What exactly happens, then? | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
Do you get, like, a vision with the teeth | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
and the glasses and the hat, or...? | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
Not quite as wide as that! But you get a feel. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
You get a natural sense of where the thing's been or where it belongs. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
Alison, you also work as a personal assistant to Dominic, your fiance. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:38 | |
I do. I do, yes. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
So, does that involve anything psychic yourself, | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
-or are you there in a support role? -Little bit. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
Well, it's a bit of a support role, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
but it's a little bit of psychic as well, | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
because I do actually see things in a crystal ball. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
So I can see images, and Dominic's helped me to do psychic development, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
so I can see objects, faces, and pick things up which are paranormal. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
Are you going to bring your special abilities into play today on Bargain Hunt? | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
-Would you like to see my pendulum? -I beg your pardon?! | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
-LAUGHTER -Gosh, we've only just met! | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
Um, yes, I'd love to have a look at your pendulum! | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
-You've got it about your person? -I have, and this is what I will be using. -Will you? | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Yes, and it goes round in circles and it means... | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
Oh, see, it's going "yes" already! So that's a good sign. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
How do you know it's going "yes" and not "no"? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
-Because clockwise is "yes", and anticlockwise is "no". -Ah. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
This is going to be exciting. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
A completely new slant on Bargain Hunt. Anyway, very good luck! | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
-Thank you. -Perfect. Gosh, what fun. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 | |
Now, Tony. How did you two get together? | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
Well, Tim, we met at college. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
I was a mature student and Becky was an immature student, yes. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
Makes sense! | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
We were doing a role-play and we just happened to be | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
thrust together in the role-play. I was her boss. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
And I didn't know what her name was, so I just made one up on the spot. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
I said, "Oh, Mrs Simpkins," and she just fell about laughing, | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
and we've not stopped since, really. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
So since those early days of role-playing, | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
-that kind of kitted you up for a living, didn't it? -Well, sort of. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
For me, they weren't such early days, but, er... | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
I do acting and singer-songwriting on the side, | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
but I'm trying to make it less on the side and more on the front. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
Becky, you fancy yourself a bit of a performer too, don't you? | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
Yeah. Not quite to his level, | 0:04:12 | 0:04:13 | |
but I belong to a small local singing group, | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
we're called Feering Singers - Feering being a local village. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
And we do one big show a year and a few smaller events. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
We do things like go round old folks' homes and that sort of thing, | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
and cheer them up. And everything we raise we give to charity. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
-Oh, lovely. -So we have a nominated charity. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
You don't just happen to have a tune up your sleeve | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
that you'd like to give us from your repertoire, have you? | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
Do you know, I don't. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
You wouldn't like it! | 0:04:40 | 0:04:41 | |
When you're not singing your socks off, what do you get up to? | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
Well, I run my own business these days, | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
for about the last three years. I set up a training company, | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
which is what I've been doing for a long, long time. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
And I work with businesses on their customer service delivery. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
So, what are your team tactics today with the £300 I'm about to give you? | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
-Oh, erm... -Tactics, tactics! -..find something to buy that'll make a profit. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
-Ah, that's a good idea! -That's about as far as we go! | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
We'd quite like some unusual, quirky things. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
OK. Well, that's exciting. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:09 | |
Now, the money moment - | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
-£300 apiece. -Lovely. -There's your 300. -Thank you! | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go! | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
And very, very, very good luck. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
I wonder what's going to happen? | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
Now, our two tremendous teams need two extraordinary experts. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
Helping the Reds make a step in the right direction | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
is Paul Laidlaw. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:32 | |
And the expert who never gets rattled under pressure - | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
it's Catherine Southon for the Blues. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
Right then, Alison, Dominic, what's this I hear about a shopping list? | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
Yes, I've got a shopping list in my head. We want rocking horses, | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
any sort - antique ones, brightly coloured ones - and even militaria. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:57 | |
-Have we got a game plan today? -Yes. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
Don't laugh! I'm serious! | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
-And old Dominic? -Yeah, I'm looking for antique cufflinks, | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
and things like that. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:06 | |
Yeah, I find them fascinating. They range in price, | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
but they can be very easily found | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
-disguised amongst loads of bric-a-brac on tables. -OK, yeah. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
-What is our game plan? -Buy three items and make a profit. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
-Yes! -Well, that sounds good to me. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
-You must have a secret weapon amongst your... -I have, I have. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
And this is my pendulum. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
I hate to think! | 0:06:25 | 0:06:26 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:06:26 | 0:06:27 | |
-Right, teams! Your 60 minutes starts now. -BELL CHIMES | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
Come on, let's do this! | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
Come on, then. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
So, from that, I fathom Paul will be having an early lunch, | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
and Catherine has her work cut out. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
-Money for old rope? -THEY LAUGH | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
Thank you, Dominic. I do the jokes round here! | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
All the old jokes are the best. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
Moving on to the plucky Blues, then. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
-I've got one of these at home. -Oh, have you? Exactly the same? | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
Almost exactly the same, different make. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
And how much did you pay for yours? | 0:06:55 | 0:06:56 | |
-It was free. -Ah. -And it's better than this one. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
What's on this one? | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
-VENDOR: -It's 88. -88? | 0:07:00 | 0:07:01 | |
Yeah, 88's a bit more... | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
-Bit too much? Maybe sort of £40, £50. -Yeah. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
-OK, well, there's lots... -We'll think about it. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
It's food for thought, here. We've got a lot to look at. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
-What do you think of these? I know you mentioned militaria. -Yes. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
This strictly isn't, but I see here little die-cast lead soldiers, | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
and I guess they're First World War period. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
Can we have a look? Can we take them out? | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
-May we see those? Would that be all right? -Thank you. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
There's my favourite. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:27 | |
That's a Vickers machine gunner. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
Absolutely tremendous. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
-Absolutely love these. -Yeah? "Absolutely love" works for me! | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
-Oh, look at that! -Yes, yes, yes. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:36 | |
We are in the trenches of the First World War. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
Can we talk about how much? | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
VENDOR: 25 quid for that. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:42 | |
-Is that it? -We could do 20? | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-God, you're mean. -Yeah. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
-£20? -Stop reading us like a book! | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
-Oh, go on. -Tiny little bit, 15? | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
VENDOR: Go on, make me a decent offer. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
-£20. -18? 18? -Please? | 0:07:54 | 0:07:55 | |
18? | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
What have we bought them for? Yeah, 20's the price! | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
Can we use this first, just to check? | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
Just check, see what it says, if it says... | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
Oh, the pendulum is out. Maybe that'll swing it! | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
Oh, it says yes, so... | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
-You're a good man. Thank you. -Thank you! Thank you ever so much! | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
You've come out fighting, Reds. And all within four minutes. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
Well done! | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
The Blues, however, are still weighing up their options. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
-This is interesting. -Nice set of scales? -What do you weigh on that? | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
Is that a people weigher, or for sacks, or...? | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
It's a big enough platform, isn't it, to put...? | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
It's for potatoes or something. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
-Go on, try it. -What do you mean, "Go on, try it"?! | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
I couldn't possibly let you see how heavy I am! | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
See, we take the weights off here, | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
and then drop them, slot them in here. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
And then we do a little bit of tuning there. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:40 | |
-And then you adjust. -That's the fine-tuner. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
It's got a maker's name on that. Fereday? | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
What would you say...? Oh, it is for potatoes. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
See, I was right! | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
-Yeah. You're more knowledgeable than we thought! -There we are. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:54 | |
Well, lots of people need scales for potatoes these days, don't they? | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
-The price worries me a bit. -65. -Do you like them? | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
-We would have that in our house. -Yeah, we'd have it. -In the house? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
-If you saw our house you'd understand. -I'd understand why. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
Ahem. I'll chip in here. Let's leave the Blues to mull things over. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |
What about that sign, Paul? | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
The polling station sign. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
-Not sure it gets my vote. -I don't know, what do you think? | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
-Well, I don't know, it just... -It stands out, doesn't it? | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
-It's something different. What do you think? -Do you know what I think? | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
That is an icon of British culture, is it not? | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
-Well, it is, isn't it? -Why not? It is, yes. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
Isn't it? We've all seen it. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
Throughout our lives we will be drawn to this periodically, | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
and in my opinion it's some of the most exciting times of our life. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
Someone'll buy that on a whim as an interior decorating piece. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
If you've got the big converted warehouse apartment, stick that up, | 0:09:47 | 0:09:52 | |
it is a talking point, a focal point, it's a whimsical piece. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
If you have a garage with a classic car, | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
all your enamel signs up, it's a classic sign to have up there. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
So there is a market, one way or another, for it. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
Ask me to put a price on it, on the other hand... What's it worth? | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
-20, 30, 40 quid. -20, 30, 40 quid? | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
So if you get it for a tenner, it's well worth it. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
If you get it for a tenner. If we don't get it for a tenner, then maybe we go on elsewhere. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
-Ask the price. -OK. -Go and ask the price. -I will do. OK. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
And, if it's a good price, maybe it's a sign, hey, Alison? | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
She's still smiling! | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
Originally it's 35, but he'll sell it for 18. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
-18, what do you think? -Oh, we're not going to lose on that, are we? | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
-What do you say? -You'd be unlucky to lose on it, | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
but it seems hellish close to 15. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
-Time for Paul to have a chat to the dealer, who's rather shy. -Big man! | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
HE MOUTHS | 0:10:42 | 0:10:43 | |
15 quid? Go on, dude. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
DEALER: Yeah, if you give me peace. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:48 | |
You're a good man. Thanks very much! | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
He's a charmer, that Mr Laidlaw. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
-We're going for the record, here. That's nine minutes. -Brilliant! | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
What can you buy in a minute? | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
No time-wasting for the Reds! | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
The Blues, however, have had a long WAIT to go with those scales. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:05 | |
We need potato scales in our life, right now, badly. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
How would you feel about £35? | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
38 and they're yours. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
-It's quite low-risk, isn't it? -Yeah? -Let's go for it. Can we? 38? | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
Thank you, sir. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:19 | |
I fancy something a bit ethnographic. Do you? | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
Well, if you do, you'll like the look of this. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
Where does it come from? | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
Think South Africa and you might be getting warm. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
It's probably Zulu, and it's made of something called ironwood. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:39 | |
Ironwood, by definition, is very, very hard, | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
and it's also incredibly heavy - | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
one of those woods that would sink in water. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
Being made out of one lump, this swelling bit, the knop, | 0:11:48 | 0:11:53 | |
has had to be cut about to make an almost perfect sphere. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:58 | |
But what's really, really rare about it | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
is this bit projecting at the end, that looks exactly like a nipple. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:06 | |
That nipple on every other Zulu throwing club | 0:12:06 | 0:12:12 | |
that I have ever seen, has been broken off and smoothed over. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
But this one, the nipple is complete. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
How lovely's that? | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
It's got the feel of something that was probably made | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
over 100 years ago and, if you're a tribal art or weapons collector, | 0:12:25 | 0:12:31 | |
this is a must for you. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
How much would it cost you? Well, poke around the Norfolk fair, | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
you could find this on a stall down the way for £60. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
What's it worth in a specialist ethnographic sale? | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
Could be as much as £150. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
But it doesn't stop there. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
Try this one on for size. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
What is it? It's a turtle. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
What's it made of? It's made of ironwood. | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
The same wood that the African throwing club is made from, | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
but it comes from a completely different place. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
Think Pacific Basin. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
Think Fiji, and you'd be right. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
What the Fijian craftsman around 1900 has done here | 0:13:11 | 0:13:16 | |
is to craft a great lump of ironwood | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
into roughly the shape of a turtle. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
It's been incised with these crude lines | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
to represent the sort of shape and decoration of a turtle shell. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:30 | |
It's had these hardwood flippers, look, added to it, | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
and a very simple, crude head has been carved. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
But the best bit, for me, are the eyes. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
Because what we have here are two circles of cut shell, | 0:13:42 | 0:13:46 | |
with a bit of ebony in the middle, | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
that make this thing look absolutely adorable. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
Would anybody else think it's adorable? | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
You bet your life they would. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
This is the sort of thing that you can find for £40 but, again, | 0:13:57 | 0:14:02 | |
in the right sale, in the right place, could bring as much as £150. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:07 | |
Now that's what I call flipping marvellous. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
How are our very own tribe getting on? | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
We left the Blues with one item to their name. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
-Quite like teapots. -Yes, you did say about a teapot. -I like teapots. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:21 | |
-I just think that's a nice... -Very Deco. -Oh, it is, isn't it? | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
I love the way it all comes together. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
-It's very pleasing. -It is. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
-VENDOR: It's unusual to find that. -It's nice to find that on the tray. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
Is there a name on it? | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
JRMS. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
This is all silver-plated on copper. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
-But I love... -The look is just lovely, isn't it? | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
-The look is good, isn't it? -I like it. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
-Really of a period, isn't it? -So, is it very expensive? | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
VENDOR: Well, it's not particularly cheap. I mean, it's 110. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
I mean, I can do a bit, but I haven't really got volumes of room in it. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:57 | |
What's the bottom line on this one? | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
I can do 85. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:01 | |
ANTHONY: Bit of wear round the edges, isn't there? | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
Start to see there, you've got the copper coming through. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
-VENDOR: Yeah, a little bit. -Could you do 75 on it? | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
I'll do 80, but that is it. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
-OK. -OK? -What do you think? | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
I think if I was into Deco, | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
I would... I would have that, no problem. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
-I think Deco's quite popular, isn't it, at the moment? -Let's do it. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
-80? -80. I think we should. -80. Let's do it. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
-Happy? -I'm happy with that. -Yes, I think that's very good. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
-Thank you so much. -That's quite all right. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
Well done, Blues. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:33 | |
That makes both teams level-pegging at two items apiece. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
Meanwhile, Mr Laidlaw is laying down the law. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
You can keep your brass bell. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
Let me show you something with some substance. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
No swagger stick, this. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
That's a substantial gentleman's cane. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
Come on, then, Dom. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:51 | |
Any strong vibes? What do you feel, mate? | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
-That is really heavy. -Nothing, apparently. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
I think it's ebony, | 0:15:57 | 0:15:58 | |
and that explains the density of the wood, yeah? | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
The pommel - it's good workmanship there. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
I think it could be Indian. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
I believe it to be silver. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
-Do you like? -I do, actually. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
-Now that we know what we know? -We really like it. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
-We really like it, don't we? -We do really like it. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
But we don't know what the price is. Can you check, please? | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
I asked before, how much was this? | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
VENDOR: It was 80, and I said you could have it for 60. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
-Could be £60. -All right, 60. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
I think that's worth £50-£80 under the hammer. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
I think we're in the safe zone. What do you reckon? | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
-So, at 50, we've got a really good chance? -I think you have. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
-I think you have. -50? | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
-Did you hear that number? -I did, yeah. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
Um, OK then, yeah. We'll do it for 50. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-Thank you! -Thanks very much! | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
-Yes! -Guys, handshake time! | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
Crikey, Reds. You can certainly strut your stuff! | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
That's all three items bought with ten minutes left on the clock. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
Meanwhile, the Blues haven't moved far, | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
and they're going slightly potty over their next potential purchase. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
Is this pewter? | 0:16:59 | 0:17:00 | |
-VENDOR: -That actually is 18th century, that. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
A Georgian commode liner. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
To pop into a potty? | 0:17:05 | 0:17:06 | |
Mm. But they're very rare. You don't actually find very many. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
How much is it? | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
Well, it should be worth a lot more than it is, | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
but I'll do it for 35, if you want it. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
Do you know, I like that, it's bizarre. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
-Come on, Catherine, we want an opinion. -I know! It's just, it's... | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
-There's no, as far as I can see, no marks. -How commercial is this? | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
You could use it for your bottle of champagne, couldn't you? | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
Hmm, I'm not sure I'd be putting ice or my champers | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
in a commode liner, if that's what it is. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
-Shall I see if it fits? -Or putting it on my head, Tone! | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
It actually had - | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
in fact, it's still there, if you want to go and see it - | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
this was completely off, | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
and it was stitched together with thread, around the metal. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
Oh, really? | 0:17:45 | 0:17:46 | |
And it had a big label on it, "very rare". | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
This has been repaired, though? | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
Well, I think they nearly always are. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
18th century, that one. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
Well, 1700 and something, yeah. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
-I mean, it's old. -Probably about 1760s, 1770s? | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
-What is it, 30? -35. -35. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
I prefer 30. Your price is much better! | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
I'm already not getting anywhere with that. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
I mean, I just thought, you know, I'll do it for 35, cos I thought... | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
Would you see a difference in going to 33? | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
-Oh, that is... -Oh, that's so hard. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
Well, I'm already on a loss. Go on, 33. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:23 | |
A pot to pee, for 33. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
Thank you very much! That's lovely. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
Thank you, we're done! | 0:18:29 | 0:18:30 | |
That's it, time's up! | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
So we got three items, we panicked a bit at the end, but we've done it. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:37 | |
-We rock. -We do! | 0:18:37 | 0:18:38 | |
Well done, Blues. You got there in the end. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh? | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
First in the firing line was the collection of toy soldiers. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
They paid £20. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:48 | |
The second item they elected for was the polling sign - £15 paid. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:54 | |
And finally, they waltzed away with a walking stick for £50. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
-Well, you two. -Hello. -How'd it go? -Very well. Really good. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
-Yeah, we've really enjoyed ourselves, thank you. -Yeah. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
-Rumour has it you spent a tonne of cash. -Not that much, but, yeah... | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
-How much? -£85. -Is that all? -Yeah, that's all. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
£85! Why do I give you £300?! | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
Anyway, £85 no doubt very well spent. Good. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
£215 of leftover lolly, please. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
-There you go. -Thank you very much. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
-That's a massive amount, that is, isn't it? -Yeah. -Good. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
Which is your favourite piece, Alison? | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
-My favourite are the toy soldiers. -Toy soldiers are your favourite. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
-Yes. -What about you, Dominic? -Yeah, toy soldiers, yeah. -OK. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
-Are they going to bring the biggest profit? -Yes. -They are? | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
-I think the cane might. -The cane might? -Yeah, I think it might. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
-But I like the soldiers. -Well, give it a bit of stick, eh? | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
Now, hand it over to Paulus. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
That's a great wodge there, Paul, I hope you're going to spend it all. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
I've no idea what I'm going to do with it, Tim. No idea, | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
but I better do something quick before they go home! | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
-Before they all pack up. -Indeed. -Exactly right. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
Anyway, good luck with that, | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
now we're going to check out what the Blue Team bought, aren't we? | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
Their first choice was the set of sack scales. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
They paid £38. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:05 | |
It was the silver-plated tea set next. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
They handed over £80. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
And, finally, they all had a cackle over the witch's hat commode liner. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
£33 paid. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
Which is your favourite piece, Rebecca? | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
I still love the first thing we bought, the potato scales. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
-Potato scales for you, very good. -Yep. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
And which do you feel most in love with? | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
-I tend towards the tea set, cos it's just so classy. -So classy. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
And that's what we like, is classiness, on this show. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
And will your classy tea set bring the biggest profit? | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
I haven't the faintest idea. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:39 | |
-Probably. -OK. -What do you think? | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
-No, potato scales! -Will bring the biggest profit? | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
-Yeah, it's a winner. -You might be right, actually. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
OK, fine. And you spent how much? | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
-£151. -151? -We did, yes. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
151, so I want 149, then. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
-Absolutely. Tony? -£149. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
Thank you. 149. I'm going to be counting all the little coins, | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
as are millions of people. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
You've got a fiver in there, good. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
I'll have four of those, thank you. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
-There's a heap for you, then, Catherine. -There is a heap. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
-You love all that, don't you? -I do. What a challenge! | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
I'm going to do my best to blow the lot. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:12 | |
-Good. -Excellent. -That's what we like. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
More fighting talk. Great! | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
Meanwhile, in just a few short moments, | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
we're going to find ourselves at the auction. Oh, lovely. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
Well, how lovely is this? | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
We're in Cambridge, at Cheffins Saleroom, with Charles Ashton. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
-Charles, how are you doing? -Very well, Tim. Nice to see you here. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
Well, we're looking forward to the auction, I can tell you. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
And we've got a mixture of lots, | 0:21:43 | 0:21:44 | |
-starting off with Mr Laidlaw's toy soldiers. -Yeah. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
I mean, they're a nice little group of Hill's toy soldiers. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
Yeah, very nice if you wanted a little play. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
-Absolutely, yeah. -How much would it cost you to play? | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
Not a lot, probably only £20 or £30. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
-That's fine, £20 was paid, so that should be a dead cert. -Yep. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
Next is the aluminium polling station sign, | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
-which is handy with any election coming up. -Absolutely. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:09 | |
What's that likely to be worth? | 0:22:09 | 0:22:10 | |
Well, I suppose it might have a possible student appeal. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
Place like Cambridge, you get somebody who fancies themselves | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
as a bit of a political animal, or what have you, | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
who wants to spice up their own student digs, might go for that. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
But I think it might be a bit of a struggle. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
-I can't list anybody who wants one at the moment. -No, quite. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
But you never know, you never know. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
-Anyway, how much? -£15 to £25. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
-Who knows? -£15 was genuinely paid. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
And, lastly, to give it a bit of stick, we've got this fine ebony | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
and Indian silver topped walking stick, | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
which is really chunky, isn't it? | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
Yes, it is. It's a good quality item, feels good in the hand. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
Nice quality sort of Arabesque, foliate detail to the handle, | 0:22:45 | 0:22:49 | |
which will be in an unmarked but I think low-grade silver. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:53 | |
-Typical Indian stuff. -Yeah, absolutely. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
It's in basically pretty good shape. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:57 | |
It's obviously been well-loved and well-used. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
Do you think it's worth £50? | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
-We've only said £20-£40 on it. -OK. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
-Might make 50, though, mightn't it? -It might do, yes. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
I mean, walking sticks are one of those collectibles | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
which have gone up and up recently, and it's a perfectly genuine thing. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
-Anyway, we'll have to live in hope. -Absolutely. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
But if it doesn't do very well, they'll need their bonus buy, | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
so let's go and have a look at it. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
-Now, Alison, Dom. -Hello. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
We come to the bonus buy moment. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
You spent £85. Miserable! | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
-And you gave him £215. -We did. -Paul, what did you spend it on? | 0:23:28 | 0:23:33 | |
Now, what do you make of that? | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
-Oh! -Now, you know what it is, don't you? | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
-Oh, it's a part of a propeller, isn't it? -You are spot on. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
-Yes! Ah. -So not any timber photograph frame. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
This started life as a Flying Corps laminated propeller frame. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:49 | |
-Fantastic. -So if you can feel history in objects, this has got it. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:54 | |
But I say this has - | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
-these have. -Oh, you got a pair! | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
-Wow, interesting! -Get me another pair, I defy you. Have a look. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
-Wow, thank you. -Wow, did you get... | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
-Same aircraft? -Inevitably. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
I really love these. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:07 | |
They are absolutely spectacular. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
Something I would choose, with an Air Force background, as I have. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
But I also want to knwo how much they cost. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
Indeed, this was the biggie. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
I paid £55 for the two. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
-Right. -Oh, right. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
-You could pay £55 for one, effortlessly. -Really? | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
-If I'd got 75, I'd be happy. -Yes. -Could we see 100? | 0:24:24 | 0:24:29 | |
Yes, we could. That would be a great margin. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
I love them. I'd buy these myself. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
They're the sort of thing that actually shouts history at you. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:39 | |
Yeah. OK, well, we like 'em. Thank you very much, Paul. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
But right now, for the audience at home, | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
let's find out exactly how much the auctioneer loves them. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
-You ready for takeoff, Charles? -Yeah, look at that. -Yes, I know. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
-I mean, they're bits of propeller, aren't they? -They are. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
They must be the tips of a propeller. Early 20th century. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:58 | |
Not a lot of finesse and quality about the construction | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
and the manufacture of them, but I suppose | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
if you're a collector of early 20th century, erm, | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
aeronautica, if we can call it that, then they might appeal to you. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
-And everybody loves a photo frame. -Absolutely. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
And what is more evocative of a period, | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
particularly at the moment, | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
-than First World War related stuff? -Yes. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
-So, how much, do you think? -We haven't been very bold. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
-We've said between £20 and £40 only. -£55 Paul Laidlaw paid. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:29 | |
That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
For a kick-off for them, the sack scales. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
I suppose you could heave your sack of coal onto them | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
as much as your sack of potatoes | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
and check they were the correct weight, all the rest of it. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
OK, so you're not going to be terribly bold | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
with the price, I guess? | 0:25:44 | 0:25:45 | |
-No. -How much? -I think we've said £20-£30 only. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
-OK, well, £38 was paid. -Right. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
Next, and I think much more interesting, | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
is this very satisfactory Art Deco three-piece tea set on its tray. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:58 | |
-Yes, indeed. -Isn't that handsome, as a design object? | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
I think the design works very well indeed. It's a pretty, pretty set. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:04 | |
It's made by a firm called John Round and Son, who are not | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
as well-known as people like Walker and Hall | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
or James Dixon of Sheffield. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
Hopefully the combination of all the little bit of detail | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
that goes into the making of this | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
will make it appeal to all the collectors out there. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:18 | |
And what's your estimate? | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
We've been a bit cautious, and said only £40-£60. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
Don't worry about it. £80 was paid. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
And lastly, for those who have almost everything, | 0:26:26 | 0:26:30 | |
you have an opportunity for a pewter jerry, is it? | 0:26:30 | 0:26:34 | |
I think it must be a commode, a liner. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
Yes, I think it was originally called a witch's hat, | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
but it's more of an old-fashioned Welsh hat, I think, | 0:26:40 | 0:26:44 | |
in terms of the shape and the form. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
But it just begs the question of what does one do with it? | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
It's had a bit of... Somebody's probably sat on it a bit too hard. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:52 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:26:52 | 0:26:53 | |
It's quite old, too. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:55 | |
We think probably late 18th or early 19th century. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
-Difficult thing to value. -Yeah, impossible, really. Yes, absolutely. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
So what sort of amount have you put on it? | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
I think we've sort of suggested it might be worth | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
-in the region of £20 or so. -Well, £33 was our investment. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
-And I suppose for a bit of fun anything might happen. -Precisely. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:12 | |
By the time you've camped it up from the rostrum, Charles, | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
we could make something stratospheric out of it. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
But in case it all goes wrong | 0:27:18 | 0:27:19 | |
they've always got their bonus buy to fall back on. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:21 | |
Let's go and have a look at it. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
-Now, Rebecca, Anthony, how are you? -Very well, thank you. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
-Are you excited about this? -Yes, absolutely. -Very. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
We're excited too. Now, you gave Catherine £149. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
Catherine, what did you spend it on? | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
Oh! Little dog. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
It's a dog. Right. OK! | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
-It's actually a mascot, a car mascot. -Oh! | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
I was drawn to it because it's a model of a greyhound. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
But look at the detail, look at these individual hairs. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
-I thought the detail was superb. -That is beautiful. -It's lovely. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:52 | |
And it's solid nickel. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
What car would that've been for, then? Greyhound? | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
-I don't think it was for a particular make of car. -Right. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
Exactly. So, they had two breeds of mascots, | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 | |
one that went with a mark of car - so you bought an Alvis, | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
and that always had a hare sitting on its hind legs | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
on the bonnet, before the Second World War. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
Or you went to the accessory shop | 0:28:12 | 0:28:14 | |
and bought the accessory that reflected your personal interest, | 0:28:14 | 0:28:18 | |
maybe in sport, or whatever. And then you'd select your mascot. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
But these things are incredibly collectible, aren't they, Catherine? | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
They are, and especially a dog. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
I mean, I think people will go crazy. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:29 | |
I think people will be excited by this. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
What did you pay for it, Catherine? | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
-£65. -Oh! That's all right. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:35 | |
Yeah, I think it's all right. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
I would like to see that making a profit, I really would. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
You don't pick right now, | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 | |
you pick after the sale of your first three items, | 0:28:42 | 0:28:44 | |
but for the audience at home let's find out | 0:28:44 | 0:28:46 | |
what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's greyhound mascot. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:49 | |
-Well. He's a nice hound, look. -Isn't he just? | 0:28:50 | 0:28:53 | |
Yeah, standing very well, beautifully poised, you might say. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
Little bit of general age wear to the plated surface, | 0:28:56 | 0:29:00 | |
with sort of a screw thread fixing underneath. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:03 | |
But actually, yeah, a pretty little... | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
I suppose a car mascot of some sort. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
Or you could equally mount it onto a base | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
and have it as a rather nice paperweight on the desk. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
It's certainly, you know, fairly substantial, | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
-it's a decent weight. -Feels like 1920s, doesn't it? | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
Yeah, it does. It does. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:20 | |
I think it's certainly between the wars. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:22 | |
-I wouldn't think it's any earlier than that. -No. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:24 | |
And again, we can't see any particular maker's marks on it, | 0:29:24 | 0:29:27 | |
-so it's impossible to say precisely who manufactured it. -Mm. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:31 | |
-But it's nice quality. -What sort of estimate? | 0:29:31 | 0:29:34 | |
Because it has no maker's name to it, we've suggested only £20 to £30. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:37 | |
Oh, dear. Catherine's going to be mortified. £65, she paid. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:41 | |
-But you never know. -You never know. You might get some dog fanatic, | 0:29:41 | 0:29:44 | |
-greyhound addict, that'll go for it. -Yes. Thank you, Charles. | 0:29:44 | 0:29:48 | |
Very good. OK, Charles, you'd best run along to the rostrum | 0:29:48 | 0:29:52 | |
and get this sale underway. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:54 | |
-Now, Alison, Dominic, how are you feeling? -Hi! | 0:29:56 | 0:29:59 | |
-Oh, few butterflies. -Are you? -Yes, little bit. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:01 | |
-Is there anything, Alison, you wish you hadn't bought? -No. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:04 | |
-No, you're very confident. -No, I like them all. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:06 | |
-Dom, you're happy with that. -Absolutely, yes. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:08 | |
Lots of people in the saleroom, and it's a good general sale, so you'll be great. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:11 | |
-Happy with this? -Absolutely. -Absolutely. -OK, Paul? | 0:30:11 | 0:30:14 | |
Anyway, first item up is the toy soldiers, and here they come. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:17 | |
World War I British soldiers, there they are, the infantry, | 0:30:17 | 0:30:21 | |
in various states of readiness for battle. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
You tell me 25 to get on, £25. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:25 | |
£25 is bid in the room. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:27 | |
At 25 down here at the front, thank you, at 25 here. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:30 | |
At 25, where's 30 gone now? | 0:30:30 | 0:30:32 | |
30, your neighbour, have here at 30. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:35 | |
And five at the back, 35 there, 35. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
And 40, 40 bid now, 40. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:39 | |
-Look! You've doubled your money! -45, 45. And 50 bid now, 50. At 50? | 0:30:39 | 0:30:43 | |
No, he says. The bid's here. 50, and 60... | 0:30:43 | 0:30:47 | |
It will go higher. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:48 | |
And the 60, no, you're both out now. So bid at 60. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:51 | |
One at the back, bid at 60, | 0:30:51 | 0:30:52 | |
-£60, and away then. -£60! | 0:30:52 | 0:30:54 | |
Anybody else? | 0:30:54 | 0:30:56 | |
All done then, well done. At £60. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:59 | |
-£60 is plus £40. -That's good, isn't it? Fantastic. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:01 | |
-I think Paul Laidlaw's phenomenal, don't you? -Thanks, Paul! | 0:31:01 | 0:31:04 | |
He's our man. | 0:31:04 | 0:31:05 | |
Now, here comes to the polling station. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:07 | |
-You found it, Alison, you loved it. -I did, yep. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:09 | |
There we are, the polling station sign. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:12 | |
If you haven't got one of these, now is your chance. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:16 | |
Have your own polling station set up | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
somewhere for the next round of elections. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
There we are, might do for student rooms, who knows? | 0:31:20 | 0:31:23 | |
There we are. The world is your oyster. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
I've got a bid for it, at 15, and 20 is bid now. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:27 | |
-At 25, already bid, now, 25 bid. -Yes! | 0:31:27 | 0:31:30 | |
At 25 the bid, now, £25 for the polling station sign. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:34 | |
At 25, bid now, 25. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:36 | |
At 25, and 30. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
£35 bid. At 35, still going here at £35. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:42 | |
Have we reached the limit? | 0:31:42 | 0:31:43 | |
At 35 it is, then, hammer up and down. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:45 | |
The polling station at £35. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:47 | |
Sold at 35. | 0:31:47 | 0:31:48 | |
£35 is plus £20 on that. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:52 | |
Now, are we going to get a profit on the stick? | 0:31:53 | 0:31:56 | |
Yes, yes, yes. Well, little bit. | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
Got a substantial quality lot here. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:01 | |
Bid's at... 20 starts it off, already, at 20 I'm bid now, 20. | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
25 I have now, 25 bid. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
At 25 to start me off. At 25 and here, 30. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:09 | |
At 35. At 40. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:11 | |
40 at the front. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:13 | |
45. And 50. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:14 | |
And 60. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:15 | |
At the back now, 60 bid, 60. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:17 | |
Out at the front, 60, in at the back, bid at 60. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:20 | |
Anybody else, any more? | 0:32:20 | 0:32:22 | |
Has to be the 60. Done then, selling it away, yes or no at £60. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:26 | |
Yes! Well done. £60 is plus £10. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:30 | |
You got a profit on each item. | 0:32:30 | 0:32:32 | |
£40, £60, £70, easy. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:34 | |
-£70 profit. -Thanks, Paul! -£70 profit. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:37 | |
Now, what are you going to do, then, | 0:32:37 | 0:32:39 | |
about these propeller tip frame jobs? | 0:32:39 | 0:32:42 | |
-We're going to safeguard our profits, aren't we? -Yeah. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
-That's what we said. -Yeah. Sorry, Paul, but... -It's all right! | 0:32:45 | 0:32:47 | |
-You're going to ringfence them. -Do you mind? -Not at all, make good money. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:51 | |
We think it might make a profit, but... | 0:32:51 | 0:32:52 | |
It might, but we're not going to risk it, Paul. Is that OK? | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
-Of course it is! -Sure? | 0:32:55 | 0:32:56 | |
You're dead to me now, you know that? | 0:32:56 | 0:32:59 | |
-No, seriously, is that it? -Yeah, that's it. -OK. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:01 | |

Anyway, the fact of the matter is all will be revealed in a moment, | 0:36:59 | 0:37:02 | |
and say nothing, please, to the Reds. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:04 | |

Well it's been a very happy show, I tell you. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:19 | |
Let me reveal the results. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:20 | |
Sadly, on this programme we don't have losers any more, | 0:37:20 | 0:37:23 | |
we only have runners-up, and the runners-up today - | 0:37:23 | 0:37:25 | |
but only just - are the Blues. | 0:37:25 | 0:37:26 | |
-Aw. -Yay, silver medal! | 0:37:26 | 0:37:29 | |
Minus £1 is just, like, so bad luck with this business. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:34 | |
-You would not be steered from taking that bonus buy, would you? -No. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:37 | |
You had 14 smackers and then, sadly, the bonus buy didn't perform. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:41 | |
-Anyway, minus £1 is what it is. -Yep. -Very nice start, though. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:45 | |
-The scales. -Yes. -Against all predictions, | 0:37:45 | 0:37:48 | |
-this girl made a £7 profit on the sack scales. -Very good. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:51 | |
Very good, an inspiration to the nation. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:53 | |
-LAUGHTER -But, anyway, there we go. | 0:37:53 | 0:37:55 | |
-You had a good time? -Great, yeah, brilliant. -Fantastic. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:58 | |
We've loved having you on the show. | 0:37:58 | 0:37:59 | |
-But the victors today go home with £70! -THEY CHEER | 0:37:59 | 0:38:02 | |
-Proper folding money, look at that! -Thank you! | 0:38:02 | 0:38:05 | |
And not only do you get the £70 | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
but, because you make a profit on all three items, you get... | 0:38:07 | 0:38:11 | |
ALL: Ooooh. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:12 | |

Well, there we go. Isn't that marvellous? | 0:38:27 | 0:38:28 | |
Has it been a good time, Alison? | 0:38:28 | 0:38:30 | |
-It's been marvellous. Really nice. -Dominic, a treat to meet you. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:33 | |
-Thank you. Had a lovely time. -It's been great. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:35 | |
Well we've loved having you. and congratulations, | 0:38:35 | 0:38:37 | |
cos to get a golden gavel, to make all that profit, | 0:38:37 | 0:38:39 | |
is an achievement on this programme, I can assure you. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:42 | |
Anyway, so much fun! Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes? | 0:38:42 | 0:38:45 | |
