0:00:03 > 0:00:06DRAMATIC VOICEOVER: In a time long ago,
0:00:06 > 0:00:10one man had only one target in sight.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20Yes, we're in Nottinghamshire.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24And with any luck, our teams might pick up a tip or two
0:00:24 > 0:00:28from the Prince of Thieves himself. Hi, Prince.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32Who knows? They could hit the target and get the steal of a deal.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Or the whole thing could leave them all of a quiver. Ha!
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Let's find out - let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Now, in the spirit of Robin Hood,
0:01:08 > 0:01:13today's merry men have each won the heart of their fair maiden
0:01:13 > 0:01:18in the most romantic of ways, utilising Cupid's bow.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23Or was it Robin's bow? Well, whoever's bow it was,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25let's take a quick squint as to what's coming up.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Catherine's risking her neck for the Reds.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32I don't want to be buying a product that was made in the '80s.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34If it was, you can take this and...
0:01:36 > 0:01:41- While the Blues are excited. - High-five! Cup of tea, bacon butty?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Go on!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45But will it be the Blues bringing home the bacon at auction?
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Hopefully it'll work.- We keep rubbing him.- Or will it be the Reds?
0:01:49 > 0:01:54- Yes! Yes!- That's all for later. Now, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58On today's programme we've got a couple of couples.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02For the Reds, we've got Robyn and Alan, and for the Blues,
0:02:02 > 0:02:03we have Andrew and Stephanie.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Hello, everyone!- ALL: Hello.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Now, you two, originally from South Africa.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12What dragged you back from South Africa to the mother country?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15We came here on holiday first, and then Alan was offered a job,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17working with excluded youth.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22So we went back home and told our children we were emigrating.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Our daughter said we were mad.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28She stayed, she was at university, and our two sons came over with us.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33- But we're very happy here now. - So it's described as a pastor job.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Yes, I have a bus that I run, and I work with young people,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- I go and visit ten different locations.- Tell me about the bus.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Well, it's an old double decker bus,
0:02:43 > 0:02:47we're a mobile children's centre really, or youth centre.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49So where there is no youth club, your purple bus will go.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- Our purple bus will go. - And what's it called?- The Roadhog.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55The Roadhog! The Roadhog isn't the only thing
0:02:55 > 0:02:57that gets your engine revving, is it?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00No, not at all, I've got a few other interests.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04My classic car interest, importing old cars from South Africa.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Great, and then you restore them, do you?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Well, generally they don't need restoration,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- we bring them in and sell them straight on.- Do you?- Yes.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Sounds like we've got an entrepreneur on our hands here,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17brilliant. What brought the two of you lovebirds
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- together in the first place?- We were both working in the hotel industry.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23He wanted to buy me flowers apparently,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26and the florist had closed down in our village,
0:03:26 > 0:03:29so he phoned my housemate and said, "Is there anything you need?"
0:03:29 > 0:03:30So she said, "Actually, we've got
0:03:30 > 0:03:32"a huge lounge space and no lounge suite."
0:03:32 > 0:03:36He said, "I've got one of those in storage, I'll bring it around!"
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Any old excuse, eh?- Any old excuse.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41We've just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Well, congratulations.- Thank you.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45And you're looking forward to bargain hunting?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Oh, so looking forward to it, been so excited!- Good.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Now, moving on to the Blues,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52because you're a couple of romantics too, aren't you?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Stephanie, tell us how you got together with Andrew?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Well, a work colleague, it was my 21st birthday, and she said,
0:03:59 > 0:04:03"Happy 21st, I've arranged a blind date for you tomorrow
0:04:03 > 0:04:06"with my brother, who's going to be taking you out."
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- Right.- Needless to say, not much work got done that day,
0:04:09 > 0:04:13as I was grilling her extensively about what kind of nutter
0:04:13 > 0:04:16would want to take out a girl he'd never even seen.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19But luckily, he turned out to be my kind of nutter,
0:04:19 > 0:04:21and we've been married 42 years.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Well, that's amazing, isn't it? Have you done anything to celebrate?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Yes, we went to Las Vegas to renew our vows.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31And being Las Vegas, well, it had to be an Elvis chapel, didn't it?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Oh, was it? And was Elvis there to do it?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Yes.- Funny that, he goes on and on, doesn't he, that fella?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40It says here you're quite adventurous.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Yes, I've done abseiling, indoor skydiving,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46clay pigeon and rifle shooting,
0:04:46 > 0:04:50but this year my husband's joining me,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54because we're both going to take part in Europe's longest zip wire,
0:04:54 > 0:04:56which is over five miles,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59and he's going to be zipping along beside me on the wire.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Really? Are you going to be able to hang on for five miles?- I hope so!
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I hope so too! Now, Andrew, tell us about your current job.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Well, I currently volunteer at a National Trust property
0:05:10 > 0:05:12locally called The Workhouse.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I play the schoolmaster and I take the school lessons
0:05:15 > 0:05:18and I love to watch their faces when I'm telling them off,
0:05:18 > 0:05:22telling them to sit up straight and face the front and don't speak.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Are you quite fierce with them? - Indeed I am and I have a cane
0:05:25 > 0:05:27which I tend to bend,
0:05:27 > 0:05:31which makes the children's eyes look and the lips quiver a little.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32It's lovely.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Anyway, good fun(!) So, being a former bank teller,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- you'll be able to keep tally of the money.- Yes.- Yes.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Talking about the money, £300 coming up - there's your £300.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43You know the rules.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Your experts await and off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Wouldn't want to be a pupil of his.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Ooh! Heads up, it's time to meet today's experts.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Predicting a profit for the Reds is Catherine Southon.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04And doing battle for the Blues is Richard Madley.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08So, what are you after today, teams?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Alan, Robyn, apart from a hot-water bottle,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15because it's absolutely freezing today, what are we going to buy?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- I was hoping pretty.- Pretty, OK.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Pretty... With you?- No, something...
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Something perhaps striking.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27Something maybe small or silver, but anything really that jumps out at us.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Yes, anything that jumps out at us.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Yes, all right. Like a silver jack-in-the-box.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Saddle up, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Let's go for it. Come on, team!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Look, we've got a huge fair to go to.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I think I know where to start, come with me now.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45And the Reds are diving straight in.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- That's pretty. Look at that lovely box.- It is pretty.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51What wood do you think it is?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- I'm not sure, but this is all brass and it's all been cut.- Or pierced.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57What's nice is that it does all meet together,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00because so often when you buy boxes like this, they don't close...
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- That closes quite nicely. - I'd like to keep it in mind.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- It's beautiful, but not at that price.- No.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- It's an eye-watering £280, if you were wondering.- It's disappointing.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Yes.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Never mind.- Those Blues are also out to splash the cash.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17- What do you like?- That Chinese...
0:07:17 > 0:07:22The Chinese urn stand? I would say it's possibly late 19th century.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- The price on this, please? - 190.- 190. It's a good start.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31The lady has got a good eye, certainly, indeed.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- If we spent two thirds of our budget in the first two minutes...- No.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37It is a good thing, and the Chinese market is good,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- but I'm going to keep going. - Thank you.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Today's teams have obviously got expensive taste,
0:07:41 > 0:07:45but they'll have to reel it in if they want to make a tidy profit.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Now, over with the Reds, and something has caught Alan's eye.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- I like the look of that lantern over there.- This one?- Yes, that one.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Why do you like the lantern? - I don't know, it's striking.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57There's something about it - I would say it's quite old.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Is it brass? It's not brass, is it?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- No, it's not brass, or copper. - It's a very thin metal...
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- It's a thin metal, no.- I don't think it's that great quality.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I must admit, it's got a nice look to it.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11If you had quite an attractive house with a nice porch outside,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- this would look...pretty stylish. - Could be very pretty.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Actually, if you just had that in your garden, hanging up,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19it might look quite... It just doesn't feel...
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Great quality, does it?- No, no.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24What do you do here, you open this up...
0:08:24 > 0:08:29Open the flap and this is where you would have put your light in.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I think it would have taken a candle.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35If we want to get this, it needs to be really cheap.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Cheap, yeah.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Hello, lovely man! So you've got the right colours on, the red.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42You're with us in our team.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44You can't recruit the dealers, Catherine.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- It's 65, do 50 quid on that. - I mean, that needs to be a bit less
0:08:48 > 0:08:51than that, I think, if we're going to make a profit.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- I don't think it's particularly good quality.- No.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I think you're just buying it for the look.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- If you stand back and look at it... - Coloured bulb in it...
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- It's all different. - Oh, you're selling it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Can we say 35?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- Go on, then - give us 35 quid. - OK.- OK, 35.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Well done, Reds. That's your first item in just over ten minutes.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Over with the blues,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16it looks like Richard has found something for Stephanie.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I'm drawn towards this cabinet here, because we did say
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- we'd like something small and shiny, didn't we?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24There is a little piece in there,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I'm not even sure exactly what it is.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- An engine-turned something or other. - Penknife, is it?
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Could be, we'll ask the owner if we can have a look at it and let's find out what it is.- OK.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Rob, could we again have a look in your cabinet of curios?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40There's this little engine-turned, silver...
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- We're not even sure what it is. - It's not marked.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- It went on a chatelaine chain... - It's not marked? A-ha.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48OK, not marked. That's fine. OK.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Oh, I see - it's a propelling pencil...
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Knife...
0:09:54 > 0:09:57It's silver-plated...
0:09:58 > 0:10:02And I think that could be a good start for us.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER HESITANTLY
0:10:04 > 0:10:07What do you think? Do you like it?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10We did say we wanted something small and silver.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- It's a collector's item. - I was just thinking shiny!
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- You could polish it up before the auction.- OK.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Unmarked, that is a shame.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- However... Well...- The price.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- Everything depends on the price, doesn't it?- Indeed.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- The price on that, please? - For this, sir, it's 45.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- So at £30, we couldn't tempt you? - I couldn't, no, sorry, it cost more.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- I would take 40 for it.- OK. Shall we go for it?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- Yep.- There you are, deal.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Excellent, thank you very much indeed.
0:10:39 > 0:10:4216 minutes down and that's your first item sewn up, Blues.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45It seems the girls are both keen on silver today.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- There was a little vase here that I...- Robyn liked it.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53To be honest, things like that will just sell on their scrap metal...
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Only scrap value.- OK.
0:10:56 > 0:10:5737p a gram!
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- He's done his homework! - He certainly has, Catherine.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Now, the Blues are EGG-cited about something.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06That's fabulous!
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- That's a great spot. - That's superb, isn't it?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Oh, yes.- How cool is that?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- I think you've got to try it for comfort.- Definitely, yeah!
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I hope it's well made!
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- There we go.- Yes!
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Comfortable as well.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22That's lovely, it swivels, too.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Now, now - you'd better keep an eye on their spending, Richard.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I would think that's mid hundreds. I would think so.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31You just carry on...
0:11:31 > 0:11:34No time to sit about. The Reds are about to take off.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37That left-hand prop would have been off a microlight or something
0:11:37 > 0:11:39with a left-hand rotation engine,
0:11:39 > 0:11:42probably it could be off a VW-powered aircraft.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45I'm sorry, I have to interrupt you there.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48You lost me when you mentioned prop.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50You're not the only one, Catherine.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53But don't you think, forget about the whole aviation thing,
0:11:53 > 0:11:57I'm seeing that as a brilliant piece to stick on your wall.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00They normally put a clock in the middle of it
0:12:00 > 0:12:03and put it on their wall, but I'm looking at the wooden prop,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06not the metal, not the three-blade. The wooden one on the floor.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10In fact, the propeller he's holding there is a modern microlight prop.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- He's bought it!- Yes!
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I can't believe it!
0:12:15 > 0:12:16That's the one that I wanted!
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I thought that looked amazing and he's bought it.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Hesitate and you lose it in this business,
0:12:21 > 0:12:25but look out, the Blues are about to fly away with a second item.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28What's that little bit of enamel there? Was that a pipe?
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I think it is. Should we have a look inside?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Ooh, yes.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- What are we thinking?- Well... I didn't know what it was, for a start!
0:12:39 > 0:12:42But I'm very impressed that you spotted it in the first place.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45That's so unusual. The colouring on a pipe.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49It's a nice little piece of enamel ware, isn't it?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Could be late 19th century. And, um...
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Well...
0:12:53 > 0:12:56It COULD be a Russian pipe, who knows?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Just a fun sort of thing.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- Love the decoration.- Yes, colourful.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- The Russian market is quite strong, isn't it?- It has been.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09See if we can get the auctioneer to put that in his catalogue
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- that it's a Russian enamel pipe. - So it's cost 25,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15what do you think it might fetch at auction?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Well, if I had it in my auction room, I think
0:13:18 > 0:13:22I'd probably give it a guide price of perhaps £30-£50.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25That's excellent. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Indeed.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Shall we have it?- OK. - Yes, let's take it.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- Have it.- Yes.- We'll have it!
0:13:32 > 0:13:34No messing about, Blues. Two items down.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Let's hope it doesn't go up in smoke, eh?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Ooh, look out, the Reds are about - arm for battle, teams.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- Look, oh! Shhhh!- Ah!
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- Shhhh! We've finished. - We've finished!
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Cards on the table, how many have you bought?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54We have bought two.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56You're ahead of us.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Well, can we have a look around here, then?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Yes, you help yourself, because we know another place
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- where there's the third and final treasure.- OK.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06You're very confident, aren't you?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09We're confident as well, aren't we?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Good luck.- Thank you. - Maybe not, Catherine!
0:14:12 > 0:14:15You're one behind the Blues now. But how are you feeling, Richard?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Look at me, I'm relaxed.
0:14:17 > 0:14:1925 minutes in, two lots in the bag,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22we are going well. These guys are good -
0:14:22 > 0:14:25they bought two nice, small, quality items
0:14:25 > 0:14:28which I think will do well and now we can relax
0:14:28 > 0:14:32into the next half hour to make our third and final purchase.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Well, the Blues may be taking it easy, but the Reds still need to catch up.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40I think Catherine's been a bit naughty and taken the bit between her teeth.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I'm really sorry, but as we didn't have a lot of time,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I've been and bought something without you seeing it.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48I'm sorry.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Oh! LAUGHTER
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- Oh, Lord(!)- Argh!
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- No, I promise you I haven't. - I'm so glad you haven't!
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I wouldn't be that mean!
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Thank goodness for that. Now, the Blues are full of Eastern promise.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I was actually looking at this...
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Oh, right.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08This is called... It's a Ruyi sceptre.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11A Chinese enamel Ruyi sceptre.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I've not seen one of those before.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15No, what is it?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17We bought one piece of enamel already,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20that we understand is from Russia,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22here's a piece of enamel from China.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26And of course we've got exquisite taste...
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Oh, no!- How much?- Only £495!
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Oh, gracious!- I know we've still got some money left in the kitty...
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Oh, dear. But not that much!
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Have the Reds spotted a second item? - That's nice.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Mm, that's a little telescope.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Look at that beautiful refracting telescope.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46A pocket telescope, so you open this up, so we've got...
0:15:46 > 0:15:52How many have we got? One, two, three draws.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Look at that name on there.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Steward. Steward, good make!
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Steward's of London were a 19th-century optician
0:16:00 > 0:16:04and clockmakers, so well regarded in their craft that they even made
0:16:04 > 0:16:07pieces for the British and foreign governments.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Let's look at the lens, important.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Check the lens.- Have a look through.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Does it look like it's focused? Just look in the distance.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Do you see ships?- I see nothing.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21It's just got an opaque lens in the inside. So you're not getting...
0:16:21 > 0:16:25It looks like it's got a problem with one of the lenses.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- That's just me. - Can you see?- I think it's fine.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Let me tell you, Steward is a very good maker.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- This is late 19th century... - What do you want to pay for it?
0:16:35 > 0:16:36That's the question.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40If I was selling this, honestly, at auction, it's 80 to 120.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- It's on at £50. That would be a tidy profit, Catherine.- To me...
0:16:44 > 0:16:46It's still nice as a display piece.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Yes.- If we can get over 20, or something.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- If we say to him 20, because it's not working.- Yep.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Do you want to try? Push it to 25.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Go on, Robyn - work your magic.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I just think if we can get that a bit cheaper, that'll be...
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- Got it for 25.- 25 - I think we'd be crazy not to take it.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08I think you're a star.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11And if it works, fantastic. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13For £25, it's not a lot to lose.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16It's a good gamble at that price, Reds.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Now, it's neck and neck,
0:17:17 > 0:17:21but the Blues may have got a tip-off for their third item.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22What we'd like from you,
0:17:22 > 0:17:26is something we can buy from you to make a guaranteed profit on.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Guaranteed profit, 50 quid for this.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Guaranteed profit.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- It looks good, doesn't it? - What do you think of that?
0:17:33 > 0:17:38- It's nice, isn't it? - Silver bowl, hallmarked.- Mm-hm.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Looks like London to me.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Maker's Mark RP, late 19th century
0:17:43 > 0:17:45and it's got two marks,
0:17:45 > 0:17:50London mark for lion's head and a lion passant showing it's silver,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53so you've got everything you want there, probably weighs 4oz,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56so if worst came to worst, you'd get £40 for it, scrap.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58What is it, a bonbon dish?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01No, it's a bowl. Peanuts?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Trinket bowl?- Sugar?
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- Whatever you'd like in there! - You put whatever you want in there!
0:18:07 > 0:18:10It's sweet if you only pay peanuts.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Over with the Reds, they're all of a panic - get a move on, now -
0:18:13 > 0:18:17the clock is ticking. Quick time check, please, Catherine.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- We've got about eight minutes left. - We have to buy something quickly.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Yes, you do, and it looks like the Blues are onto a winner.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27And the most important thing is it's a guaranteed profit.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30It's not often you can come to a member of the trade who will
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- lay down his life and say, "There's money in this."- And he's on film!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Exactly, indeed.- Guaranteed! - We know where he lives.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Shall we go for it?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Yes.- Let's take it. - Great, we've got a deal.- Sorted.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- Thank you very much indeed. High five!- Yay, we finished!
0:18:45 > 0:18:46Done it! And we've still got...
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- We've got time! - Six minutes on our time.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- Cup of tea, bacon butty? - Go on, yeah!
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Well done, team. Now, while the Blues take it easy,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Catherine is taking a stab at that final item for the Reds.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Alan, what do you think about this? Look at that.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- A sort of ceremonial sword. - OK, I don't really like it.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I'm not sure of its age. I don't how old it is.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Alan is going to take some persuading.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I don't think it's a modern reproduction.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15I mean, if you look at the wear on the brass there,
0:19:15 > 0:19:19there's quite a lot of patination, there's a lot of wear to it.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Look at the scabbard here, look.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27All the brass on there - my thought is it's early 20th century.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- Do you think it's as old as that? I don't know.- It's got 120 on it.- Yes.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35It's just...wondering if it's a reproduction.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36What... What...
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Why do you think it is a reproduction?
0:19:38 > 0:19:42To me, it looks cast, but again... Instead of handmade.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- They could have cast it at that age. - Yes, they could have cast it.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48So there's no reason it wouldn't have been.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51It's just I don't want to be buying a product that was made in the '80s!
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- No, I did think that was made in the '80s!- That's all!
0:19:54 > 0:19:56If it was, you can take this and...
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Oh, Lordy - Catherine's really sticking her neck out on this one.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05I think novelty items like this do well at auction.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07He's come down to 70.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10I mean, if we could get it for 60, it might be worth a punt.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11What do you think, Robyn?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Our friend Keaton would love this, because he loves swords,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16collecting swords and looking at old military stuff.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I think that's lovely.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Could you come down to 60, sir?
0:20:22 > 0:20:23INDISTINCT
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- 65?- Thank you very much. - Do you want to? What do you think?
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Well, it's up to you. Get it for 65. - We've got seconds to go.- It's fine.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34You've got a deal then, sir, at 65.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37I've shaken on it, there you are!
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Teams, your 60 minutes are over.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Yay!- Well done. Fantastic.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Coffee. Let's go and warm up.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Well done, Reds. Got there in the end.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Let's weigh up what the Red team bought, eh?
0:20:51 > 0:20:55They really lit up for this 20th-century
0:20:55 > 0:20:57copper and glass lantern at £35.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01They focused on the Steward telescope and got it for just £25.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Catherine is risking her neck, literally,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09on this novelty officer's sword letter-opener at £65.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Well, you lot, that wasn't entirely plain sailing, was it?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- A little bit of a disagreement! - Yeah(!)
0:21:16 > 0:21:19OK, which is your favourite piece?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- I have to say the lantern.- OK.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I'd agree, because we all agreed on that.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27It's something that we all like and it's grown on me.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- Good, so the total that you spent is how much?- 125.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37£125, so I'd like £175 leftover lolly, please.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Thank you. Catherine...
0:21:40 > 0:21:43You've had your work cut out today, haven't you, doll?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46I have, yes, we haven't agreed on everything.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49There's been a view ifs and buts.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53But today, I think I'm going to go off and buy something...pretty.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Oh, good.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57The thing is, you're totally in control, you don't
0:21:57 > 0:22:01have to defer to anyone, you have £175 and the world is your oyster.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06- Enjoy!- Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:22:06 > 0:22:09They paid £40 for the late-Victorian silver-plated etui.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16£25 went up in smoke on the Russian enamel pipe.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20It's the dealer's guaranteed profit -
0:22:20 > 0:22:23the silver sugar bowl set them back £50.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Well, was that fun, or was it fun? - It was smashing.- Wonderful!
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Really enjoyed that.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32What's this guaranteed profit, then, on the silver bowl?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Well, hopefully, according to our expert
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- and according to the gentleman who sold it to us, it is.- Yes, good.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Well, there's something to look forward to.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- And how much did you spend all round?- £115.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I'd like £185 of leftover lolly, please.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50185. Thank you.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Loads of leftover lolly going across.- Thank you.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57What are you likely to spend that on, any ideas?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00I might go back to that honest silver dealer who guaranteed
0:23:00 > 0:23:03a profit on that bowl he sold us.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04- I can't go wrong.- Absolutely!
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Go and find another one. - He could have a pair!
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Well, good luck with that.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15Meanwhile, we're going to dash to Masson Mill, heard of it?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19It's in Matlock Bath, in Derbyshire - how lovely.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Located on the banks of the River Derwent
0:23:22 > 0:23:26is this magnificent Grade 2 listed building, the Masson Mills.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Originally constructed as a paper mill back in 1771,
0:23:31 > 0:23:35this location was later to become the jewel in the crown
0:23:35 > 0:23:38to one of England's earliest entrepreneurs.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Self-made industrialist and inventor Sir Richard Arkwright
0:23:41 > 0:23:45was at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution
0:23:45 > 0:23:48and is known as the father of the factory system.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52It was near this very spot that Sir Richard Arkwright had
0:23:52 > 0:23:57the vision to harness the power of the River Derwent
0:23:57 > 0:24:03in order to fire up one of the finest textile mills in the world.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Let's take a shufty, shall we?
0:24:12 > 0:24:18This room is full of clanking machinery which, in its day,
0:24:18 > 0:24:21would have produced the finest-quality thread
0:24:21 > 0:24:24anywhere in the world.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29It once upon a time employed 500 people throughout the building
0:24:29 > 0:24:34and, Arkwright's employees, such was the noise of these machines,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36had to learn how to lip-read.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Combining this semi-skilled labour force with powered machinery,
0:24:40 > 0:24:45by harnessing the power of the River Derwent, Arkwright made
0:24:45 > 0:24:48developments to many machines, producing a system
0:24:48 > 0:24:51in which labour was divided, greatly improving efficiency
0:24:51 > 0:24:54and increasing profits.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Robert Aram, the current owner of Masson Mills, is showing me
0:24:57 > 0:25:01some of the machinery that has been restored to full working order.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- What do you think of that?- My word!
0:25:04 > 0:25:07That is something else, Robert, isn't it?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10'Arkwright was one of the first to use James Watts' steam engines
0:25:10 > 0:25:13'to power textile machinery
0:25:13 > 0:25:15'and this led to an enormous increase
0:25:15 > 0:25:17'in the number of power looms.'
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Well, Robert, this is quite a hairy machine, isn't it?
0:25:22 > 0:25:26- What was it used for? - This was called the Devil
0:25:26 > 0:25:27or the Fearnought.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31When the cotton came in, in the bale, the bale would be broken open
0:25:31 > 0:25:35and the cotton would be thrown into this machine.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39The machine would then rotate these very fearsome hooks,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41which would interconnect
0:25:41 > 0:25:44and they would rip the cotton apart
0:25:44 > 0:25:48and really, this is what Arkwright does - he takes raw cotton
0:25:48 > 0:25:52and turns it into the finest thread in the world.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55There's more of the tale to be told over here, isn't there?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01So, Robert, we're now in the weaving shed.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Tell me about this loom.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05This loom that you can see here
0:26:05 > 0:26:09is possibly the oldest working loom in the world.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13It's a Harling and Todd Lancashire loom that was acquired second-hand
0:26:13 > 0:26:17in 1867, and 150 years later,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20it's still turning out beautiful-quality cloth.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24This is a shuttle, Tim.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28The purpose of the shuttle is to take the thread
0:26:28 > 0:26:30from one side of the loom to the other
0:26:30 > 0:26:33and that is called the weft.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Well, thank you very much, Robert.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I fear we now have to get weaving, though,
0:26:38 > 0:26:40and slip off to the auction.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44And today, we're off to Hanson's Auctioneers in Etwall.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54I think it's only nearly 50 miles from Newark to Etwall
0:26:54 > 0:26:59in Derbyshire to join my old mate and mucker, Charlie Hanson.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- How are you, Charles?- Good to see you, mate - very well.- Great.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Now, for these lucky Reds is this hanging lantern.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08This doesn't look so terribly old to me, Charles. How do you rate it?
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Tim, I tend to agree. It's got that Moorish look.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16It's got that Turkish flavour, but will it be a delight at auction?
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Ha-ha! I don't see it being terribly tasty.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23No. To me, Tim, it's got some signs of rust,
0:27:23 > 0:27:24but I don't think it's very old.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27So this is £35 worth, according to our team.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30That's what they paid retail. Can you turn them a profit, Charles?
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Tim, it's a work of art, so hopefully between £30 and £40.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36You are a miracle worker if you get that. OK, good.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Now, I really rate this next item. This little telescope.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Tim, it's a really nice lot.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45It's so tactile, it's an object which is from yesteryear.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48I suspect it's probably circa 1850 in date.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51The finish on that patinated metalwork is really good.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55It's a lovely three-draw telescope, which we really rate.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Ordinarily, for my money,
0:27:57 > 0:28:00that little four-draw telescope
0:28:00 > 0:28:02is £150 worth. How do you rate it?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04It's a really good object.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06There's a slight mark there,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09but we would hope it might make between £70 and £100.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12OK, £25, the team paid. Can you believe that, Charlie?
0:28:12 > 0:28:16- That, Tim, is a remarkable price. - Isn't it? Now, that's that.
0:28:16 > 0:28:21Next is the little novelty toy naval officer's sword.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23How do you rate that, Charles?
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Again, Tim, novelty is one thing, early-20th-century collectables
0:28:26 > 0:28:29of a militaria interest are also highly sought after.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Clearly it's a letter opener, but even so,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35to a militaria collector,
0:28:35 > 0:28:38we hope it will make between £30 and £40.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40- OK, £65 paid.- OK.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Overall, then, we've got a bit of up and down here, haven't we?
0:28:43 > 0:28:45I think we've got all up, actually.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48- I think all the lots will do very well.- Do you?- Yes, I do.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- You're eternally optimistic. - I hope so.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Just in case you're wrong, we might need the Bonus Buy,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58£175 you gave to Catherine Southon, who is known to be
0:28:58 > 0:29:00a bit of a devil when it comes to the spending sprees.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Catherine, what did you buy?
0:29:05 > 0:29:07This is what I bought. Now this is Tudric pewter.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09It's a basket and it's all handmade.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11This has all been hammered,
0:29:11 > 0:29:15can you see that lovely patination, that lovely feel?
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Now, I was really pleased with this because I only paid...
0:29:20 > 0:29:21How much?
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- £10.- No!- How much?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- £10!- Really? - Yes, I'm so happy with this.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28£10?!
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- Wow.- £10 is all I paid. I know...
0:29:31 > 0:29:34you will make money on this.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- I think it's going to make 30, 40. - I'm very impressed, well done!
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- Isn't she a clever girl?- Very.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42You don't have to choose it, but right now, for the audience at home,
0:29:42 > 0:29:46let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's basket.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52Well, Tim, it's lovely. Lovely finish, nice patinated pewter.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55It's obviously Tudric, that great Liberty name.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Not quite Cymric, it's pewter ware, I love the hammered ground.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00It's quite a boring rim though, isn't it?
0:30:00 > 0:30:06It's not really a style that really oozes nouveau or Celtic form.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- It's a bit whimsical.- Yes, to me, it comes more in the deco bit.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14Yes, I can see this at 35 Acacia Avenue in 1928
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- with the tangerines in. - I like your style.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18That is where I think it comes from.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21It's got that lovely colour, that nice pewter hue.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25My only concern is a small dint there, which you can just see.
0:30:25 > 0:30:30You've got such an eye, Charles. I never even noticed that little bump.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34It clearly had a bit of a shock in the night. OK, what's it worth?
0:30:34 > 0:30:39- Because it's Tudric, love the name, between £50 and £70.- Do you really?
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- That cunning girl Catherine, she only pay £10 for that.- £10?
0:30:43 > 0:30:45- £10, it's her Bonus Buy. - I can't believe that.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48With any luck, the team will go with it and you'll sell it
0:30:48 > 0:30:51for 40 or 50 and everybody will be stinking of roses, Charles.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- I hope so, Tim.- Anyway, that's it now for the Reds.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Now the Blues, Andrew and Steph.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00They went with the little etui, which in engine turning
0:31:00 > 0:31:03and solid silver, is really sweet, isn't it?
0:31:03 > 0:31:04It's a really sweet object.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07The engine turning is good. Again, what I like about it,
0:31:07 > 0:31:11it hasn't been overly cleaned, it hasn't been overly polished.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14I think to the buyers at auction, it's quite sleepy.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17It is in good condition, it's all complete, all the utensils
0:31:17 > 0:31:20and the hooks, the blades are all there.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- There is some minor wear, nice object.- OK, how much?
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Our guide price, we're being a bit cautious, between £20 and £30.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- Gosh, £40 paid.- OK. - Now, moving on is the enamel pipe.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- Do you think that comes from Constantinople?- Tim, I believe so.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39It bright, it's vibrant, it's quite fun.
0:31:39 > 0:31:45Clearly, it's from a very distant region to our European friends.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- It's probably 1930s.- Could be, couldn't it?- Yes, I think so.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- Bit of touristy ware, but fun. - It's in good condition.- How much?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- Tim, between £15 and £25. - OK, £25 paid.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57So we're on the cusp again, there.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02What about this nice Carolean-style bowl, Charles?
0:32:02 > 0:32:06If only it was period, if only it was 1615,
0:32:06 > 0:32:09James I or Charles I.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12I like this embossed acanthus detail,
0:32:12 > 0:32:14it's Edwardian of course.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16The Edwardians ousted our late Victorians,
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- they revived all these wonderful styles.- Right, how much?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Scrap value is about £22,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25so we've gone in quite cautiously
0:32:25 > 0:32:27- between 20 and 30.- OK, they paid 50.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Andrew got carried away, he obviously liked the style of it,
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Charles, so you'll have to work pretty hard on that.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34If you're unsuccessful, they're definitely going to
0:32:34 > 0:32:37need their Bonus Buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Now, Richard...
0:32:39 > 0:32:40You had £185.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42How marvellous is that?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44What did you spend it on?
0:32:44 > 0:32:48- Oh, that's nice.- Ah!- An 18th-century Chinese tankard.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Quart tankard.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54Probably made round about 1800.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56It's got a nice rope twist handle
0:32:56 > 0:32:58and it appears to me
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- to be in pretty good shape. - And much did you pay for it?
0:33:01 > 0:33:03How much did I pay for it?
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- I secured it for £100. Right?- Right.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- That's lovely, I love the handle. - So you'd go and buy it, Andrew?
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- I would.- What about you, Steph? - I would definitely buy it.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16I'm not certain about the price...
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Well, you get a chance to choose after the sale of the first three items,
0:33:19 > 0:33:21but the audience at home, let's find out
0:33:21 > 0:33:24what Charles Hanson does think of Richard's mug.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Well, that's handsome, Charles.
0:33:26 > 0:33:31Oh, Tim, if objects can identify an expert, this is really me,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34because it's just so antique and so real.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37This was made in China in the Qianlong period,
0:33:37 > 0:33:41which was 1735 to '99 and was made for us Europeans
0:33:41 > 0:33:46to admire the wonderful products made in China.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50It's great, because you've got this what we call entwined handle,
0:33:50 > 0:33:52with this sprigged ornamentation,
0:33:52 > 0:33:56which was copied by the Leeds Creamware potteries
0:33:56 > 0:34:00in which China thought, "Well, they're popular, we'll do the same."
0:34:00 > 0:34:02It's high-fired porcelain,
0:34:02 > 0:34:05you've got some minor tearing to the handle,
0:34:05 > 0:34:08the handle hasn't been off, but it's full of Eastern promise
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- and I love it.- You love it.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13What I like about it is, it looks like transfer printing
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- blue-and-white, but it ain't. - Hand-painted.- It's hand-painted.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18- It is.- We know where it came from, we know when it came,
0:34:18 > 0:34:20we know exactly what it copies.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23What we don't know - at least we'd like to find out from you,
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- Charles - is what it's worth.- Tim, again, we've been quite cautious.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31- Surprise, surprise.- We've put it between £50 and £80.- Is that all?
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Richard Madley, he paid £100 and he really rates that.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38- Well, we've learned a lot, Charles. Thank you very much. A lovely object.- Pleasure.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40All will be revealed in the auction in a minute.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- Are you taking the stand?- I will do indeed.- We are in safe hands.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Do I see five now? 50 I'm bid, do I see five now?
0:34:47 > 0:34:4950, 5, 60.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51I'm out at £60. All done.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56- OK, Robyn, Alan, how are you feeling?- Very good.- Very excited.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58My first auction I've ever been to.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- Is it?- It's thrilling! - What about you?
0:35:01 > 0:35:04I've sold bulls and cows and things like that before,
0:35:04 > 0:35:06but never, um, never...collectables.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07Really?
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Well, you've got some collectables. Be proud of it.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15We are on the edge, your first item is coming up...
0:35:15 > 0:35:16right now.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21Number 100 is a wonderful copper and glass ceiling hanging lantern...
0:35:21 > 0:35:24It looks good, doesn't it? It looks the business.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28I'm bid here £12. I'm asking 15 now.
0:35:28 > 0:35:3215, 18, 20. 5 and 30, I'm out.
0:35:32 > 0:35:3535, 40, 5, 50,
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- 5...- Look out!- 60 I'm asking now.
0:35:38 > 0:35:44Come on, one more, do I see? Good morning, it's yours, ma'm, at £55.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46£55.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48That is super, plus £20.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- Brilliant.- Perfect.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Now, the telescope.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Will it make £100?
0:35:54 > 0:35:57It's a very good London three-draw telescope by a very good name.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00A good name, that's a really good name, that one.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Where do we start this lot? We really rate it.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05I'm only bid £40 here, 45 online.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08You paid 25, he's got 40 already.
0:36:08 > 0:36:0955.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11- Yes!- 5!- Yes!
0:36:11 > 0:36:14At 60... I'll take five, sir.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16All done at £60.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20- Yes, brilliant! - So that was plus 35. Well done.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23So overall, you are plus 55, which is magnificent.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27Now, what about the letter knife?
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Our wonderful, novelty, sword letter opener, there we are.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Nice object, 102, I'm only bid...
0:36:33 > 0:36:35I've got 15, 18, 20...
0:36:35 > 0:36:38This is our fault, because he didn't like it.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40- I'll blame you both. - Prove him wrong.
0:36:40 > 0:36:4225, 30, 5...
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- Keep going. Keep going!- 40 here,
0:36:44 > 0:36:4745? 45, we've got you over there.
0:36:47 > 0:36:5150 online. Make no mistake, we are going at £50.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Well done, Charles.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56£50 pounds is minus £15. Overall, you are plus £40.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00- What are you going to do with the pewter basket?- Go with it.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Now that decision is emphatically made,
0:37:02 > 0:37:04I can tell you that Charles loved it.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08He's estimating 50 to 70 - you only paid £10, Catherine.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12So if it's right, 50 to 70 on a £10 purchase is super.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Anyway, let's see what happens,
0:37:14 > 0:37:16we're going with the Bonus Buy and here it comes.
0:37:16 > 0:37:22There we are, made by Liberty under the Tudric name, in around 1925.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24oval basket, there we are.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27I am bid for this, I've got a couple of bids...
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Oh, yes.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30I've got one at £12...
0:37:30 > 0:37:32One at 15...
0:37:32 > 0:37:3518 I'm bid online, I'm asking 20 now.
0:37:35 > 0:37:3720, 2, 5, 8...
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Yes, yes!
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- 40, 2, 5...- Gosh!
0:37:43 > 0:37:45He's phenomenal!
0:37:45 > 0:37:4855, 60... Are you sure?
0:37:48 > 0:37:50You've come so far! 65.
0:37:50 > 0:37:5270.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57At £65, I'm selling, all done at 65.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Yes! Yes, yes, yes!
0:37:59 > 0:38:02That's plus £55.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- Wow!- 55 and 40 is plus 95.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Excellent, that's very respectable.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Now, well done, well done, well done.
0:38:09 > 0:38:14Thank you for containing your excitement! You did very well!
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Listen, don't say a word to the Blues, right?
0:38:17 > 0:38:18All will be revealed in a moment.
0:38:24 > 0:38:29- So Steph, what have we got here, love?- My lucky pig.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- Hopefully it'll work. - Keep rubbing him.- If not...!
0:38:33 > 0:38:34You'll knock it off!
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Fair enough. Lucky pig. Let's hope so.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41First up is the little etui, and here it comes.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45My number is now 122, very nice late-Victorian plated etui.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50I'm bid here, straight in with me, at £12. Do I see 15 now?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- Go on.- Go on - more, more!
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Bid me 8 now. 8. 30.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57Go, Charles.
0:38:59 > 0:39:04All out, I sell to you, sir, at £35.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Oh, bad luck, team. Close enough.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09Now, enamel pipe.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11It's now 123.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14I'm only bid £12, I'm asking 15 now.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18Interesting lot - 12 I'm bid, 15, 18, 20.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19- Oh, come on!- Go on!
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- Come on, Charles!- 20 I'm bid.
0:39:22 > 0:39:242, 5, 8...
0:39:24 > 0:39:26One more.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30At £25, going, going...
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Oh, no, wiped its face!
0:39:32 > 0:39:36- I thought we were there!- Oh, dear, oh, dear.- Here comes the bowl.
0:39:36 > 0:39:37Rub the pig!
