0:00:04 > 0:00:07Here's an interesting fact for you - the church behind me

0:00:07 > 0:00:12was designed by Philip Webb, father of the Arts and Crafts movement.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15But for those of you who are interested in how much profit

0:00:15 > 0:00:17the Reds and Blues are going to make today,

0:00:17 > 0:00:20then it's inside here that you're going to be interested in.

0:00:20 > 0:00:24So, let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah!

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hello! And welcome to Cumbria and more particularly,

0:00:47 > 0:00:51the Cumbria Antiques Centre here in Brampton.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Now, the word "Brampton" apparently

0:00:53 > 0:00:57derives from the old English word for "broom".

0:00:57 > 0:01:02Let us hope that our teams are going to achieve a clean sweep today

0:01:02 > 0:01:06and take a sneaky peak as to what's coming up. Oh, yes.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11'The Red team get physical.'

0:01:11 > 0:01:15- ... we could probably do it for 50. - Oh, could we not squeeze you a bit more on that, Steve?

0:01:15 > 0:01:16How hard would you like to squeeze me?

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Well, we were hoping to death...

0:01:18 > 0:01:21'While the Blues have some shocking news for David.'

0:01:21 > 0:01:25- What am I missing out from here? - THEY LAUGH

0:01:25 > 0:01:26(What's she doing?)

0:01:28 > 0:01:32'And things get thrilling at the auction.'

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Yes! SHE SCREAMS

0:01:35 > 0:01:37'First up, let's meet the teams.'

0:01:37 > 0:01:40Well, there's some family bonding due on the show today,

0:01:40 > 0:01:45because we have two teams of sisters. How lovely is that?

0:01:45 > 0:01:47For the Reds, we've got Debbie and Jan,

0:01:47 > 0:01:50and for the Blues, we've got Jane and Maggie.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Hello, everyone!- ALL: Hello!

0:01:52 > 0:01:54What a rousing welcome.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Now, Jan, you were in marketing and you'd decided to take a break?

0:01:57 > 0:02:01- I did, yes.- Why was that? - Mainly due to stress.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04I was feeling quite stressed with my job

0:02:04 > 0:02:08and I decided it was time to ditch it. So...

0:02:08 > 0:02:10- You ditched it?- I ditched it.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Went back to full-time education,

0:02:12 > 0:02:16- and trained in beauty and holistic therapies.- Is that what you do now?

0:02:16 > 0:02:19- That's what I do now, yes. - Have you got your own salon?- I have.

0:02:19 > 0:02:24I call it a clinic, but it's a... Yes, it's health and beauty.

0:02:24 > 0:02:25- Is it?- Yes.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28You also have a fondness for everything Iberian, right?

0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Yes, three years in Spain, that's where I met my partner.- Oh, lovely.

0:02:31 > 0:02:37We live here, now, in the UK. But possibly go back there at some time.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39Debbie, it says here that you're a mental health nurse.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42- I am, Tim, yes. - But you did an unusual degree?

0:02:42 > 0:02:44I did, yes. I trained to be a milliner.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48- I took some time out from nursing and that's what I did.- I love hats.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49Me too.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52How did you get on with making them?

0:02:52 > 0:02:55- It's more difficult that you'd think, isn't it?- It is difficult.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57I mean, you need to have a good eye...

0:02:57 > 0:03:01I'm going a bit blind now because I've done so much close work.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03- It's all handmade, isn't it? - Everything's handmade.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07All the blocks, you get blocks, you stretch the felt,

0:03:07 > 0:03:09it takes a long, long time. There's no money in it, Tim.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Is there not? - LAUGHING:- No!

0:03:11 > 0:03:13I do still make fascinators, which are a little bit easier.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16You're a woman of many talents, aren't you?

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Excellent.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Now, so, you're two sisters, right. Would you say you're close?- Very.

0:03:21 > 0:03:26- Yes. Would you agree on everything? - No.- No. No, no.- We don't fight.- No.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30You don't have fights, but you don't normally agree, necessarily?

0:03:30 > 0:03:33- No.- What's going to happen on Bargain Hunt?

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Well, I'm going to give you some cash in a minute,

0:03:35 > 0:03:37- but not just for a sec. So you hold hard there?- BOTH: Yes.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Just one second, while we talk to the Blues.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Well, Blues, that's quite a handful we've got here, isn't it?- Oh, yes. - Ooh, yes!

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Now, Janey. You too are in the medical profession?

0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Yeah, that's right. - Tell us about all of that, love.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Well, I'm a nurse practitioner, so I'm a nurse with extra skills.

0:03:51 > 0:03:57- Mm-hm.- So I go out to care homes, mainly with people with dementia,

0:03:57 > 0:04:00and I give them the medical care within their home environment

0:04:00 > 0:04:02and it saves them going into hospital.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Mags, you're in the medical profession also?- Mm-hm.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09- Tell us about that.- I came into it a lot later than Jane.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13I decided I needed a change of direction,

0:04:13 > 0:04:17and applied for a hospital job in our local hospital, and I now

0:04:17 > 0:04:21- work in the cardiology department and it's absolutely amazing.- Is it?

0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Mm-hm.- So are you quite competitive, you and your sis?

0:04:24 > 0:04:28- Yes, we are really. We are pretty psychic with each other.- Oh, yeah?

0:04:28 > 0:04:32- We do tend to know what each other's thinking. We don't always agree.- No.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Sometimes we do, sometimes we don't.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38And, yeah... Those sparks might fly today.

0:04:38 > 0:04:43OK, well, you're going to take £300, £300 is coming up now.

0:04:43 > 0:04:44There's your £300.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!

0:04:47 > 0:04:50And very, very, very good luck.

0:04:50 > 0:04:55Well, I don't know. Hats, Spanish, buy me? Whatever next?

0:05:00 > 0:05:02'Expert ahoy for the Reds.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05'It's Anita Manning.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08'And piloting the Blues around the shop, David Harper.'

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Oh, I've got a brilliant feeling that you two are going to

0:05:17 > 0:05:20- be nothing but trouble. Is it true, Maggie?- You are so right.

0:05:20 > 0:05:21HE LAUGHS

0:05:21 > 0:05:24- It's quite hard to be glamorous when it's chilly.- Absolutely!

0:05:24 > 0:05:26We're struggling, Anita!

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Jane, what are we going to look for?

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Something old, something quirky, bit like me, really.

0:05:30 > 0:05:34- Listen, girls, spending money will warm us up!- Absolutely.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Maggie, what about you? - Something that speaks to me.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Something that jumps out at me. Something exciting.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44- Actually speaks to you?- Yes. - Gosh, she is a bit mad, isn't she?

0:05:44 > 0:05:45- She is, yeah!- Brilliant.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Do you want to spent BIG money, girls?

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Big, big money. We're good at that.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Tick-tock. Your time, teams, starts now!

0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Let's go and spend some big money! - BOTH: Yay!

0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Feast your eyes, you two.- Oh! - Brilliant.- It's lovely, isn't it?

0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Absolutely. - Look, isn't it wonderful?

0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Oh, my God, Fabulous.- Everything's great.- Everything's sparkly!

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- So you say you get drawn in by something?- Yes.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Yeah, really.- Really?- Yeah, that's... Something speaks to you.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Are you like water diviners, you're that kind of idea?

0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Something like that. - Yeah, but we don't quiver.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23HE LAUGHS

0:06:26 > 0:06:27Where's the jewellery?

0:06:31 > 0:06:34I need to look at the little moon brooch

0:06:34 > 0:06:36with the turquoise stars and pearls.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39- That is so sweet. - Isn't that pretty?- That is so sweet.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Now, that's a little Edwardian brooch.

0:06:42 > 0:06:48Now, that would have been made 1900, 1902, 1903.

0:06:48 > 0:06:53- Crescent moons are magical.- Yes. - Should we have a look at it?

0:06:53 > 0:06:54- I think... - DEBBIE GASPS

0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Have you seen how much it is? - No, how much is it?

0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Is it really expensive?- It's £150.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02'Well, you did say you wanted to spend big, girls.'

0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Keep it mind, but I think that's a good choice.- I think it is.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08- I'm proud of you, girls.- Yes! - I'm proud of you.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10- I want you to spend money.- You knew.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12You knew we'd be good at this, didn't you?

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Whilst the stylish sisters in red scour the gems,

0:07:15 > 0:07:18the Blues have spotted something a bit more practical.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21- What are we looking at? - We're looking at this coal scuttle down here.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Oh, OK. Let's pull it out, then. - Oh, it is on wheels, Maggie.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26I didn't know it was on wheels.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Oh, my gosh, it's got a bit of weight to that thing.- Yep.

0:07:28 > 0:07:33- Maggie, tell me why you like it. - Because it's different, unusual.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35- Yes, yes.- And it's just beautiful.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38And the fact it's got wheels on it is an added bonus for those of us

0:07:38 > 0:07:41- that are old and can't lift things. - LAUGHTER

0:07:41 > 0:07:44Can you see yourself wheeling this around the house, can you?

0:07:44 > 0:07:46- I can, actually. - Yes, I can actually.

0:07:46 > 0:07:47Now, Jane, I'm going

0:07:47 > 0:07:51to send a telepathic message to you with a date.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53I've sent it. It is on its way.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57I would say early 19th century. Early 18th...

0:07:57 > 0:07:59- 20th century. - I'm going to do it again.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01- WHISPERS:- 1870

0:08:01 > 0:08:03I would say maybe 1870.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07She's good. She is seriously good.

0:08:07 > 0:08:08She's very psychic.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11When it was speaking to you, did it tell you it was missing anything?

0:08:11 > 0:08:16- Yes.- What?- It's missing its shovel. - Yes.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- That's where the shovel should go. - Yes.- All right, Maggie?

0:08:19 > 0:08:22I want it. I really, really want it.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25- OK. What's it worth?- £60, £70?- £75?

0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Something like that. - OK, OK, Maggie, you hold it.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33I'm going to go and find out how much we can buy it for. OK?

0:08:34 > 0:08:35I think it's lovely.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Meanwhile, the Reds try upstairs.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Beautiful, isn't it?- It looks... - You just want to buy everything!

0:08:41 > 0:08:43THEY LAUGH

0:08:43 > 0:08:44Back with the Blues

0:08:44 > 0:08:48and dealer Steve is struggling to find a price for the coal scuttle.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Go on, Blues. Make him an offer he can't refuse.

0:08:52 > 0:08:53Yeah, can we buy it for 50?

0:08:56 > 0:08:57Erm...

0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Yes, you can. - Well, are you happy with that?

0:09:00 > 0:09:04- We're very happy with that. - OK, OK, well, shake his hand.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08The no-nonsense Blues are so fired up that it has taken them

0:09:08 > 0:09:11less than five minutes to secure that scuttle.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15Our ladies in red, meanwhile, want to find romance in their items

0:09:15 > 0:09:18and Debbie's feeling the lurve for a commemorative cup.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21I like the sort of metallic bit inside.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23That's a sort of copper lustre,

0:09:23 > 0:09:29a very popular glaze that was used at that time.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31And this little cup would have been made

0:09:31 > 0:09:36and the name put on it to commemorate a happy occasion.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40- Oh, that's lovely. I really love it. - How about you, Jan?

0:09:40 > 0:09:44I'm worried about how attractive it will be to somebody in the saleroom.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Right, OK.- That's all. - Well, I loved it, and I'm quite...

0:09:47 > 0:09:49What we've got is heart stuff here.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52And what we've got is head stuff here.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55- SINGS:- Sisters, sisters...

0:09:55 > 0:09:56THEY HUM

0:09:56 > 0:09:59# There were never such devoted sisters

0:09:59 > 0:10:02# Never had to have a chaperone, no, sir

0:10:02 > 0:10:04THEY HUM

0:10:04 > 0:10:08Now, the Blues are at it, too.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Maggie...- Are you seeing something?

0:10:11 > 0:10:14- I am loving this chair.- Ah, OK.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Do you know the design? Do you know who made it?

0:10:16 > 0:10:18- If it is original, it's Lloyd Loom. - Yes.

0:10:18 > 0:10:22Because I do have an adult Lloyd Loom chair.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Right. And that is a real Lloyd Loom because you do get the copies.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- Yeah.- But I'm pretty certain that is.- Well, it has got its...

0:10:28 > 0:10:34- It says November 55. So does that make it 1955?- Yes, absolutely right.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37- And isn't that lovely to be able to date it so accurately?- Yeah, yeah.

0:10:37 > 0:10:38CHAIR PLAYS TUNE

0:10:38 > 0:10:41- It's a musical chair. - It's musical!- Yeah.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Isn't that quite interesting?

0:10:43 > 0:10:47It's a child's musical Lloyd Loom chair.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53Is it a find or is it a find, Mrs Smith?

0:10:55 > 0:11:02- What do you think?- I like it. I mean, it's as old as me.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Surely not.- It is. It is as old as me, this chair.- Is it?

0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Actually, slightly younger... - One year.- ..if we're getting to the nitty-gritty.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13- It's about 60 years old. - You're not 60!

0:11:13 > 0:11:16- I am.- Is she telling a lie?

0:11:16 > 0:11:19- No, she's not. Well, actually, she's 61.- Is she?

0:11:19 > 0:11:23You shouldn't really be saying that but she looks good, doesn't she?

0:11:23 > 0:11:25She does look good for an old bird.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Are you trying very hard to convince me that we should buy this?

0:11:28 > 0:11:31I don't think I have to, cos I think you're already convinced.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Well, you know, I do like my Lloyd Loom.

0:11:34 > 0:11:39These Blues know what they want, David. Pop off and find a price.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Meanwhile, how are the Reds doing with that cup?

0:11:42 > 0:11:44- There you go.- The girls love this.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47They found it quite a romantic thing.

0:11:47 > 0:11:51And Steve from the antique centre has another cup to add to the mixture.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54You like your lustre, so maybe you'll like this one as well.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57- OK. Can we have a wee look at it? - You can, I'll bring that one round.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Tell us about this one, Steve.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Typical of Sunderland Ware,

0:12:01 > 0:12:05and they used to have rhymes on and you would get the sailors' return.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Quite a lot of it was all to do with shipping and sailing

0:12:08 > 0:12:11and they were nearly always locally orientated.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13They're both from different parts of the country

0:12:13 > 0:12:15- but they are both lustre.- Yep.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18- But isn't that one Sunderland Ware but this one isn't? - I think this one...

0:12:18 > 0:12:20While the Reds struggle to make a decision,

0:12:20 > 0:12:23David is back with the price for the Lloyd Loom chair.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25- OK.- And it is £30.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31- I'd pay 30 for it, if it was for me. - Brilliant. Are we going to say yes?

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Yeah, we'll say yes.

0:12:33 > 0:12:3714 minutes and 50 seconds, two purchases in. Well done.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40The Reds, however, are still considering their cups.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Come on, team!

0:12:42 > 0:12:45You'll look like mugs if you don't buy something soon.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48So, the choice has to be yours.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51It's make your mind up time because the clock is ticking.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53I am choosing this one, then. Definitely.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56- You were drawn to that one first, anyway.- OK.- Absolutely.

0:12:56 > 0:13:01- And what's the price on that one? - £38.- Oh, that's brilliant.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Yes, well done, team. But nearly half your time is gone

0:13:04 > 0:13:06and you still have two more items to buy.

0:13:08 > 0:13:13And speaking of buying... How do you fancy making a bit of money, eh?

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Well, if you're of a squeamish disposition you might like to go and

0:13:16 > 0:13:20make a cup of tea just for a minute while I talk to you about this job.

0:13:20 > 0:13:25Open up the box and inside we find a solid silver brooch that

0:13:25 > 0:13:27has got some unusual mounts.

0:13:27 > 0:13:33Well, those mounts are actually two teeth from a stag.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36They are a hunting trophy.

0:13:36 > 0:13:41Someone who's gone stalking on the hills of Scotland has,

0:13:41 > 0:13:44as a trophy, taken away these two teeth

0:13:44 > 0:13:47and had them made into a bar brooch.

0:13:47 > 0:13:52Perhaps as a tiepin for a gentleman or as a lady's brooch.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56The craftsman, who could easily be a Scottish silversmith,

0:13:56 > 0:13:59has made a frame to grip the two teeth

0:13:59 > 0:14:03and has then applied them to a bar and the bar itself has

0:14:03 > 0:14:07a special hooking device to make quite sure it doesn't fall off.

0:14:07 > 0:14:12If I move the slide like that, it releases the pin.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14The pin then goes through the clothes

0:14:14 > 0:14:18and when you shut it like that, that pin is securely locked.

0:14:18 > 0:14:24Which means that this pin will not fall off. Which is kind of good.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28Now, if you fancy something that is a little more sparkly...

0:14:28 > 0:14:31ta-da! Look at that.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Here we've got another brooch.

0:14:33 > 0:14:39This time with a solid gold engraved spine to it.

0:14:39 > 0:14:43That on either side has got a graduated row of diamonds.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Well, in your dreams, actually.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50Because these stones are foil-backed paste which is what makes them

0:14:50 > 0:14:51so sparkly.

0:14:51 > 0:14:56But there is a real little ruby, look, set in the fish's eye.

0:14:57 > 0:15:02The whole ensemble is then mounted on a complicated table,

0:15:02 > 0:15:06which is pierced in this way to let the light in underneath the brooch.

0:15:06 > 0:15:11It's fitted with dorsal fins, look, and then a folding pin on the back.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Well, how much?

0:15:14 > 0:15:19I have to admit that the market for the deer's tooth brooch

0:15:19 > 0:15:20is not enormous.

0:15:20 > 0:15:25But it will have its fans and I think, in an appropriate sale,

0:15:25 > 0:15:32you could get as much as £120-£150 for it. And it would cost you £30.

0:15:32 > 0:15:38Old fish-face here, would cost you the same amount, ie £30.

0:15:38 > 0:15:43But because more people enjoy fishing than any other

0:15:43 > 0:15:46leisure pursuit in the United Kingdom,

0:15:46 > 0:15:50I think you could get as much as £150-£200 for it.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53How's that? Hook, line and sinker, eh?

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Let's check back in with the teams.

0:15:58 > 0:15:59Halfway through the shop

0:15:59 > 0:16:03and the Blues are racing ahead with two buys under their belt.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06While the Reds are trailing behind, with just one piece purchased.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09She's dashing, Jane.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12It's not long before our steadfast sisters in blue spot another

0:16:12 > 0:16:14interesting item.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Oh, Maggie, what have you found?

0:16:16 > 0:16:18- Shall we take them into the light?- Yes.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21OK, Jane, you're looking a bit quiet and you worry me.

0:16:22 > 0:16:28- She obviously doesn't like them.- Oh, you're getting my psychic vibe.- Yes.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32Maggie, tell me, what your thinking is here.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36I just think they're nice.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40- Are they talking to you?- Different. Yeah, they are talking to me. - Are they mooing to you?

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Well, I don't know whether they're mooing, but they're lowing.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45What's do she mean, exactly, Jane?

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Well, I haven't got a clue, because they're not speaking to me.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51- And if they are, they're speaking in French.- Ha! Do you speak French?

0:16:51 > 0:16:55No, that's why I don't understand why she likes them.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Mooo-ve away, David.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59There could be trouble ahead. But hold your horses.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01What have the Reds found?

0:17:01 > 0:17:03And it's in a Carlisle box.

0:17:04 > 0:17:08- And it will be gold.- Yeah. - And we're selling in Carlisle.

0:17:08 > 0:17:13- Yeah, that's a good idea.- Yeah, of course, yeah.- Is it a tiepin?

0:17:13 > 0:17:16No, it is a little... It would be maybe for your silk scarf.

0:17:16 > 0:17:20- We can see.- You can have a wee look at that. - We can see how much it is.- OK.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23Back with the Blues - has Maggie convinced Jane to take

0:17:23 > 0:17:25the bull by the horns and buy those cows?

0:17:25 > 0:17:28Sometimes I can be quite generous

0:17:28 > 0:17:32and I can bow to Maggie's superior knowledge.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34If Maggie wants them, then Maggie can have them.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Oh, you are such a sweet sister.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Maggie, how blessed are you?

0:17:40 > 0:17:42I'm really blessed. But don't tell her.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45OK, but the thing is - there is no price on them.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48There is a label that says Staffordshire things

0:17:48 > 0:17:50- but there is no price.- Yep.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53- So, Jane, to you.- Yep.

0:17:53 > 0:17:57- Telepathically communicate and I'll go and get a price. - OK.- OK. Lovely, thank you.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01And is the Reds' horse still in the running?

0:18:01 > 0:18:05- How much?- £55, but I suppose we could probably do it for £50.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Oh, could we not squeeze you a bit more on that, Steve?

0:18:08 > 0:18:14- How hard would you like to squeeze me?- Well, we were hoping to get it for about £40.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16£45 and that's it. 45 is the very best.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19- 45, 45, what do you think, Anita? - Go for it, girls.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22- I think we'll go for it. - Shake on it. Thank you very much.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24That's lovely.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27Well, girls, you took a long time to buy your first item,

0:18:27 > 0:18:29but the second item, you've done well.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Maybe you're getting into the swing of it.

0:18:31 > 0:18:35- Yeah, I think we are.- I think time is not on our side either, Anita.

0:18:35 > 0:18:41Indeed. You only have 20 minutes left to find your last item.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44- I've given in this time. - You don't have to if you don't...

0:18:44 > 0:18:47Be careful, look, you're going to knock it.

0:18:51 > 0:18:55- LAUGHING:- She's... she's knocked his horn off!

0:18:55 > 0:18:58Things are getting udderly ridiculous.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01- £5,000.- For the whole thing? - For the whole thing.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Oh, it's not sold separately.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05But we did see a card case.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09- The mother of pearl one, I think.- I think it's over here.- Quick, girls!

0:19:09 > 0:19:13- Oh, here, Anita, it's here. - It's here.- £84.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19- LAUGHING: - What am I missing out on here?

0:19:19 > 0:19:20What is she...?

0:19:23 > 0:19:25How awkward.

0:19:25 > 0:19:26Let's quickly get back to the Reds.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29I love mother of pearl and I love abalone.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32- I think that it's a very beautiful substance.- I like it, it's nice.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35But it's quite expensive, isn't it? For 84, do you think?

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Well, is there any movement on that?

0:19:37 > 0:19:41We're just trying to get in touch with the owner to find out for you.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44Let's hope the owner of the card case is feeling generous.

0:19:44 > 0:19:49Well, listen, previously to the horn being damaged they were £35 for the pair.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Which isn't a lot of money.

0:19:53 > 0:19:57Should I go back and say, "It's lost the horn and how much can they be?"

0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Yes.- All right.- Careful. Don't lose it again.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04If we could... I mean, I've seen these do over 80.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06I've just heard through the telegraph that she's

0:20:06 > 0:20:10- said £50 you can have it for. - Oh, wow, what do you think?

0:20:10 > 0:20:12I think you should go for it at £50.

0:20:12 > 0:20:16- I think she's been awfully generous.- I think so too.- Wow!

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Right, the new deal is, 50 quid and a dollop of superglue.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20How's that?

0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Can I have them?- You can. Go on, then.- Thank you.

0:20:24 > 0:20:28Thank you, Steve. My goodness.

0:20:28 > 0:20:32The sands of time wait for no man. So time's up.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34I'm exhausted!

0:20:35 > 0:20:40- Very badly restored horn. Congratulations, you two.- Yay!

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh?

0:20:42 > 0:20:48First up was a Victorian christening cup which cost them £38.

0:20:48 > 0:20:54Next was the nine carat gold stick pin bought for £45.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57And then finally a bit of sparkle

0:20:57 > 0:21:01with this mother of pearl card case, price paid - £50.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04A little birdie told me that you girls spent £133.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08- Is that right?- That's correct, yes. - Oh, how do I pick up these tips, eh?

0:21:08 > 0:21:13- £167 of leftover lolly. Here comes the sister, look.- There we go.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16Now, tell me, which is your favourite item?

0:21:16 > 0:21:19- I think it's got to be the little card case.- Has it?- Yes, it has.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22- That's your favourite?- Yes. - Does the sister agree?

0:21:22 > 0:21:26- No, my favourite was the mug. - Was it?- The little cup.

0:21:26 > 0:21:31- I bet you found it, too.- I did.- How did I know that?- How did you know?

0:21:31 > 0:21:36- And it's really romantic. - Is it?- We think.- Squidgy.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?

0:21:39 > 0:21:43We think probably the card case because we got such a good bargain on that.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47OK good. All I have to do now is to give a wodge of cash to Anita.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50- Yes, lovely Anita.- Hail, Anita. - She's a star.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54What I thought was a bit of quality, girls...

0:21:54 > 0:21:58- Maybe named pieces. Designer stuff. - Oh, yes.- Is that what you would like?

0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Yeah, we would love that. - I'll do my...

0:22:00 > 0:22:03- That ticks all the boxes, Anita. - ..very, very best.- Absolutely.

0:22:03 > 0:22:07- Thank you.- Thank you, we trust you. - They are gorgeous, aren't they? Anyway, very good fun.

0:22:07 > 0:22:08Why don't we, though, right now,

0:22:08 > 0:22:11check out what the Blue team bought, eh?

0:22:11 > 0:22:14They were quick off the mark with this Victorian coal scuttle.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Bought for £50.

0:22:17 > 0:22:22Next up was the Lloyd Loom chair, which they bagged for £30.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24And finally, the pair of Staffordshire figurines

0:22:24 > 0:22:29complete with superglued horns, which also cost them £30.

0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Well, girls, you had a smashing time, didn't you?- We certainly did!

0:22:33 > 0:22:36May all our cows be de-horned.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38- We were doing it a favour.- Were you?

0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Yeah, it was female, it's not meant to have horns.- No, quite.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43They gave us a discount, I've got to say.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Yes, yes.- Fair enough.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48- How much did you spend all round? - Maggie?- £110.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49That's not much, is it?

0:22:49 > 0:22:53- No.- OK, can I have £190 of leftover lolly, please?

0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Now, Mags, which is your favourite piece?- The coal scuttle.

0:22:56 > 0:23:01- The coal scuttle, as you do. And do you agree with that, Janey? - I do, actually.- Yeah?

0:23:01 > 0:23:04Because it's got wheels and I've never seen a coal scuttle with wheels before.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06And which is going to bring the biggest profit, then?

0:23:06 > 0:23:09- This coal jobbie the with the wheels?- We hope it is.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13- Yeah, are you crossing everything? - And everything else as well.- Good.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Aren't we all? The nation is crossing itself.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18Anyway, there we go, David. There is a bundle there.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20What are you going to spend all that cash on?

0:23:20 > 0:23:22I actually have something in mind.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25Something that I clocked whilst we were shopping.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28But I thought it was so nice I didn't mention it to you two

0:23:28 > 0:23:32- because I want it for myself. But for you.- But for us?

0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Only thinking of them two. - Where are we going with this?

0:23:35 > 0:23:40- Well, I tell you where we're going right now. We're off to the auction, aren't we?- Yes.- Yes, we are.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59I can't tell you how happy I am to be in Carlisle.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Not a place I go to that often but now

0:24:01 > 0:24:06I know Mr Laidlaw is based here at Laidlaw's Auction I shall be back.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Paul, it's a treat. - Good to see you, Tim.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11For the Red team, we start off with a bit of a mug.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13I think it's a cut above.

0:24:13 > 0:24:18The combination of those little Oriental landscapes and vignettes

0:24:18 > 0:24:25with the pink lustre, and pleasingly executed, name and a good date.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27I think it's all right.

0:24:27 > 0:24:31If you are at all of a romantic bent, this is the mug for you.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33How much?

0:24:33 > 0:24:38- I've gone in at 20-30.- Nothing very romantic about that. £38 paid.

0:24:38 > 0:24:44- Now, the gold stick pin. This is nicely equestrian.- Pleasing enough.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47No great substance to it and we see enough of them.

0:24:47 > 0:24:53- I have been cautious. £20-£40. - OK fine. £45 they paid.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55I personally think that box is worth £15-£20

0:24:55 > 0:25:00because it's a sweet little red morocco covered box. And then you've got the gold pin.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04So, for me, the £40, £45, £50 mark works perfectly well.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06It's a jolly nice thing.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10- And then lastly, we've got the mother of pearl encrusted card case.- Yeah.

0:25:10 > 0:25:16I think that ship sailed. They just... I really like them.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18Full period pieces. That's a great example.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22There are no losses, there are no issues whatsoever.

0:25:22 > 0:25:23But who wants them?

0:25:23 > 0:25:2820 years ago that was a passionately pursued collectable, wasn't it?

0:25:28 > 0:25:32- Yeah, yeah.- Particularly in abalone shell.- I've gone in at 30 to 40.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35- I think that's probably fair enough. - OK, well, they paid 50.

0:25:35 > 0:25:39So they could be just a tad over the top but overall,

0:25:39 > 0:25:41it could be difficult, I suppose.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44In which case they'll need their bonus buy so let's go and have a look at it.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47- So girls, this is exciting, isn't it?- It is, very, yes.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50Now, just tell me, how excited are you on an excitement scale?

0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Very, very excited.- Are you? - A 10, a- 10. You're voting it a 10?

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Gosh, this is quite exciting. Good.

0:25:56 > 0:26:01Now, listen, you gave the lovely Anita Manning £167

0:26:01 > 0:26:02to go and find your bonus buy.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Anita, show us your wares. - A lot of money.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08Well, these are very stylish girls. Glamorous girls.

0:26:08 > 0:26:14Designer-type girls. So I thought I'd buy a piece of designer pottery.

0:26:14 > 0:26:18- And what better than Moorcroft? - Ooh, Moorcroft.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21Moorcroft had its feet in the 19th century

0:26:21 > 0:26:25and it's still being produced today. It is a good thing.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27It is testament to its quality

0:26:27 > 0:26:30that they are still making this pottery today.

0:26:30 > 0:26:37Now, this is a hibiscus design on a dark blue with a light blue flower.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40- That's a wee bit unusual.- OK.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43We usually get more autumnal colours in this particular flower.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Anita, you paid for it.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49- Perfect, how much?- £40.- Gosh! - Oh, wow.- That's good.

0:26:49 > 0:26:54Now, I have been giving you all these positives, girls. Positives.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57- I can see a negative, Anita.- You can see a negative.- It's got a crack.

0:26:57 > 0:27:02- Oh-oh.- This little hairline crack happened in transit.

0:27:02 > 0:27:07- It's unfortunate but it happens sometimes.- Oh, no.- It's quite fresh.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10- It wasn't there when I bought it. - It would have happened to us, wouldn't it?

0:27:10 > 0:27:14What we have to do now, girls, in the real auctioneering world,

0:27:14 > 0:27:16where some damage occurs,

0:27:16 > 0:27:20if it happens with a carrier, if it happens in an auction house,

0:27:20 > 0:27:23in this case it's in transit, we have to sort it out.

0:27:23 > 0:27:26What happens is a little insurance claim kicks into play.

0:27:26 > 0:27:30Let's reconfirm with the auctioneer

0:27:30 > 0:27:33what he feels about Anita's little pot.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35We've got some questions now.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Hard nail stuff.- OK. - I have to say to you, Paul Laidlaw,

0:27:38 > 0:27:42what would that jardiniere make if it was perfect?

0:27:42 > 0:27:47Well, it is in the blue on blue hibiscus pattern.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50Which is uncommon and desirable.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54I would have estimated 80 to 120 and that would not have been me

0:27:54 > 0:27:58- sticking my neck out.- OK. 80-120 would be the fair, perfect price.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00What is the value of it with that hairline crack?

0:28:00 > 0:28:05- Well, I've estimated 20 to 30 and if I get that I'll be delighted.- OK.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08Will you? So we have suffered a loss.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Anita has suffered a loss on her bonus buy.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14So I think, in fairness, we will have to treat this as if it was an insurance claim,

0:28:14 > 0:28:18as if it was damage that had occurred during the course of doing

0:28:18 > 0:28:19some business.

0:28:19 > 0:28:23So the compensation for the full price is £100.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25And the salvage value is £25.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27And I will work out something equitable

0:28:27 > 0:28:31if the team decide to go with this as a bonus buy.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34And if they don't go with it as a bonus buy,

0:28:34 > 0:28:36then the process won't apply. Good.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39Well, that's it for the Reds. Now, for the Blues.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41And they've got the coal scuttle.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44Which is not my favourite object, I have to say.

0:28:44 > 0:28:48- But, how do you rate it? - I think it's a museum piece.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51And that's not a good thing in this instance.

0:28:51 > 0:28:57I think if you go to the likes of these living history type places

0:28:57 > 0:29:01and you see Victorian cottage, you'd expect to see that by the fire,

0:29:01 > 0:29:03- by the hearth.- You would. - And it is going to look fantastic.

0:29:03 > 0:29:07Would you want to take one home and park it beside your hearth?

0:29:07 > 0:29:09- No, no.- No, never. - So what is your estimate?

0:29:09 > 0:29:10I have gone 30 to 60 on that

0:29:10 > 0:29:13and that's me pushing it as hard as I can.

0:29:13 > 0:29:17Yeah, they paid £50 and that is plenty enough, I think.

0:29:17 > 0:29:22Anyway, moving on, we've got the lovely Lloyd's Loom child's chair.

0:29:22 > 0:29:23Which is a scream, isn't it?

0:29:23 > 0:29:27That's a great thing. I love Lloyd Loom, and always have.

0:29:27 > 0:29:31It's a fascinating process and the designs...

0:29:31 > 0:29:33I mean, some of them are icons.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36- That armchair, what else can you describe it as?- Exactly.

0:29:36 > 0:29:39On the back of that enthusiasm, I've not been carried away with my estimate.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42- £30-£50 I think will buy it 9 times out of- 10. Will it?

0:29:42 > 0:29:46- Well, £30 is all they paid. - Well, a good buy.- It is a good buy.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49And lastly, this pair of Staffordshire figurines.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52Which look very, very late 19th century.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55They're incredibly crude, aren't they? But basically they're period.

0:29:55 > 0:29:58They are absolutely period. I have no issue with that.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00But sadly, there are losses.

0:30:00 > 0:30:05Some of the horns that you see are restorations and others are lacking.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08And maybe they are yesterday's news, in fairness.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10I have pitched in at 30 to 60 and, you know what,

0:30:10 > 0:30:14- no pun intended, that is bullish estimate.- Is it?- Yeah.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17- OK. £30 was paid. So they paid the right price.- Yes.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20And it's a tall order to expect you to make a profit on them,

0:30:20 > 0:30:22but if you can, that would be absolutely smashing.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25If you fail, they are going to need the bonus buy

0:30:25 > 0:30:27so let's go and have a look at it.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29- Well, girls, this is something else, isn't it?- It is.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32£190 you gave to David Harper in the way of leftover lolly.

0:30:32 > 0:30:33David, what did you do?

0:30:33 > 0:30:37OK, I think this is going to be right up your street, you two.

0:30:37 > 0:30:40- Jane, remove that cover. - Ta-da!- Ta-da!

0:30:41 > 0:30:44Yeah, don't get too enthusiastic about it.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48- Well, where did you dig this up from? - Oh, charming!

0:30:48 > 0:30:50Do you know what it is?

0:30:50 > 0:30:56It's either a medicine bottle or a spirit bottle.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58Well, it's some people's medicine. It's a wine bottle.

0:30:58 > 0:31:02Early 18th century. A 17-something.

0:31:02 > 0:31:06- You are holding real history there, Jane.- Go on, then.

0:31:06 > 0:31:10- How much did you pay for it? - Straight to the money.- Come on!

0:31:10 > 0:31:12- Come on!- What do you think?

0:31:12 > 0:31:15Well, I wouldn't have paid any more than a fiver.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18That's what I was thinking. A fiver.

0:31:19 > 0:31:26- I paid £65.- You've got to be joking. - You were robbed. You...

0:31:26 > 0:31:31- You were robbed.- They're doing my confidence in.- How much profit?

0:31:31 > 0:31:34Oh, gosh. Well, I think there is every possibility it could make 100.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37- It could.- You weren't drunk when you bought it?

0:31:37 > 0:31:41No, but I think I need to go and have a drink now.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43Well, on that happy note, right,

0:31:43 > 0:31:47and I think we should quit while we're ahead here. Very good.

0:31:47 > 0:31:48We'll park that, girls.

0:31:48 > 0:31:51You decide a bit later on but right now, for the audience at home,

0:31:51 > 0:31:53let's find out whether the auctioneer

0:31:53 > 0:31:55is similarly impressed.

0:31:57 > 0:32:03- Glug glug. Handsome bottle, that, isn't it?- I love this object.

0:32:03 > 0:32:04I really do. I like wine antiques.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07I collected bottles when I was a daft wee laddie

0:32:07 > 0:32:11and that does it for me. Second quarter, 18th-century.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14Great compressed onion form.

0:32:14 > 0:32:16Probably a Dutch one, in all honesty.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18But that is by the by.

0:32:18 > 0:32:22To have survived this long and look so good, great thing.

0:32:22 > 0:32:26- What's that one worth?- They do turn up. You can buy these.

0:32:26 > 0:32:28They retail at about £100 a pop.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31I've gone in at 60 to 80 and think we should be able to do that.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33OK. David Harper, he found it,

0:32:33 > 0:32:37he bought it for £65, and he rates it to make a small profit.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40So let's hope that we get to that point of sweet success.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43I am sure you will, Paul, and very good luck. Thank you.

0:32:45 > 0:32:4830, well done, sir. £30...

0:32:48 > 0:32:5015. £50, then.

0:32:53 > 0:32:57- Debs, Jan, this is your moment. - Yes, this is.- This is your moment.

0:32:57 > 0:33:02- This is our moment to shine.- To shine! Exactly.- Or crash and burn.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05OK, well, there's Miss Optimist.

0:33:05 > 0:33:06Lot 234...

0:33:08 > 0:33:11- Now, first up, then, is the christening mug and here it comes.- OK.

0:33:11 > 0:33:15Now, what makes this one for me is the application of these

0:33:15 > 0:33:19lovely little Oriental vignettes, transfer printed in blue.

0:33:19 > 0:33:21He's selling it well.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23- Yes.- £20 for a start. £20, then.

0:33:23 > 0:33:25£20, the christening cup.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28Lovely little thing. 20, 20 in the room.

0:33:28 > 0:33:3022, 25...

0:33:30 > 0:33:3325, 25 to my left.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35- This is inexpensive. - Keep going, keep going.

0:33:35 > 0:33:40- 28 on the net, who else is bidding?- Go on!- Come on!

0:33:40 > 0:33:43- £30. 30 bid. You're quite sure you're all done?- Come on.

0:33:43 > 0:33:47- Come on.- Oh, no.- I sell at £30 there. - A bit more! A bit more!

0:33:47 > 0:33:52Oh, bad luck, girls. I think it's £30, which is minus eight smacks. Which is nothing, really.

0:33:52 > 0:33:57- Oh, that's nothing.- Nothing. You're so right.- Don't worry. The next one.

0:33:57 > 0:33:58Oh, we love this.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01Lovely little brooch, this.

0:34:01 > 0:34:06Nine carat gold. In a cracking little case of Wheatley of Carlisle.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09£20 to get it started. Lovely little brooch, this. £20 where? 20 bid,

0:34:09 > 0:34:11£20, 22.

0:34:11 > 0:34:1222, 25,

0:34:12 > 0:34:1428, 28.

0:34:14 > 0:34:17- Come on!- And 30, 32 now.

0:34:17 > 0:34:2032... 32, 35, 38.

0:34:20 > 0:34:25- It's worth that.- It's quite slow. - It is creeping up.- 42, 42...

0:34:25 > 0:34:3045. 48 now. 48... Good thing, this. Come again. 48...

0:34:30 > 0:34:31- You're in profit.- 48.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33Come on, come on, one more!

0:34:33 > 0:34:36- Yes! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! - £50 right at the back.

0:34:36 > 0:34:39Fair warning. I sell at £50 there.

0:34:39 > 0:34:41That is so good. Plus five pounds.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Well done.- Well done, girls. Well done.- Overall you're minus £3.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Oh, just minus 3? - There's nothing in it.

0:34:46 > 0:34:48Now, here comes the abalone...

0:34:48 > 0:34:50- Excuse me.- This is the card case.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52Now, these things commonly fall to bits

0:34:52 > 0:34:55but this is an absolute gem of an example, ladies and gentlemen.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58£30 to get me started?

0:34:58 > 0:35:00£30, there, quick, quick.

0:35:00 > 0:35:03£30, 30 bid, 32... 35...

0:35:03 > 0:35:0835 to my left, 35, 38, my bid's on the net.

0:35:08 > 0:35:12- Come on!- 42, 42, not expensive.

0:35:12 > 0:35:13It is a good example.

0:35:13 > 0:35:1542. 42, 42, anyone else in the room?

0:35:15 > 0:35:19- It's a belter!- Selling then to the net, 45, 45...

0:35:19 > 0:35:21- Yes! One more, one more!- 45.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23You're quite sure you're all done.

0:35:23 > 0:35:27Last chance and selling at £45, there.

0:35:27 > 0:35:28We wiped our face, didn't we?

0:35:28 > 0:35:30- No.- Not quite.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33£45 is minus £5, which means overall you are minus £8.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36That's nothing. That's amazing.

0:35:36 > 0:35:39- It is amazing, isn't it?- That's quite good, actually.- I was expecting us to be minus 100!

0:35:39 > 0:35:41LAUGHTER

0:35:41 > 0:35:44Anyway, so what are you going to do about the Walter Moorcroft?

0:35:44 > 0:35:45Definitely going with it.

0:35:45 > 0:35:48- Would you like £75... - Do we look stupid?

0:35:48 > 0:35:53This is the hibiscus, blue on blue. That is the rare feature here.

0:35:53 > 0:35:57Little hairline but a pleasing object. £20 to get me started.

0:35:57 > 0:35:5920 bid, £20, 22...

0:35:59 > 0:36:0025, 28,

0:36:00 > 0:36:0330, 2, 5, 8,

0:36:03 > 0:36:07- 40, 42, 45...- We're going to go home with loads of money!

0:36:07 > 0:36:0948, 50,

0:36:09 > 0:36:115, 60, 5...

0:36:11 > 0:36:15It's going to make more than one that isn't cracked.

0:36:15 > 0:36:16Anyone else?

0:36:16 > 0:36:19Last chance and selling at £65. Well done, madam.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21You sold it for £65, girls.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24- Well, this is your lucky day. - Definitely.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26Now, we had a salvage price of £25, didn't we?

0:36:26 > 0:36:31Which we'd taken into account. So we take £25 off £65 leave you with £40.

0:36:31 > 0:36:36So you've got your £40 with the £75 of insurance claim which you

0:36:36 > 0:36:40accepted before the lot. That is £40... That's 115.

0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Oh, my goodness!- Your end score on this exercise

0:36:43 > 0:36:45is £115. How about that?

0:36:45 > 0:36:48I can't believe it.

0:36:48 > 0:36:53Then you knock off the £8, but that means you are plus £107.

0:36:53 > 0:36:57- Can't believe this. - Which is just a little miracle.

0:36:57 > 0:37:02No, seriously, I am very sorry that this has actually taken place

0:37:02 > 0:37:06but the equitable answer is that the insurers cough up, because there has

0:37:06 > 0:37:10been this depreciation and we have to believe that if the thing had

0:37:10 > 0:37:15been in sound condition it would have made a further £100 on top.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18So where we have got to with this is the fair position, OK?

0:37:18 > 0:37:21- The thing is, don't say a word to the Blues, all right?- Absolutely.

0:37:21 > 0:37:24And all will be revealed in a moment.

0:37:29 > 0:37:32- Now, girls, do you now how the Reds got on?- No idea.- No.

0:37:32 > 0:37:36No, just as well. Now, listen, fairly smartly, your coal scuttle,

0:37:36 > 0:37:37the auctioneer quite liked it.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39He's put £30-£50 on it

0:37:39 > 0:37:43- and you paid £50, OK?- All right. - OK, here it comes. One scuttle.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45You don't see these very often. We're off at 30.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47£30 bid. £30... 30 bid.

0:37:47 > 0:37:4932, 35,

0:37:49 > 0:37:5038, 40,

0:37:50 > 0:37:53- 42.- Come on, come on.- Come on.

0:37:53 > 0:37:5745, 48 and 50. 5.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00Janey, you are in profit. That is phenomenal.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03- I'm cooking with gas. - You're cooking, girl.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06£60. 60 bid. Is that it? I sell at £60.

0:38:06 > 0:38:07Yes!

0:38:07 > 0:38:11£60, girls. That is plus £10.

0:38:11 > 0:38:13- You two!- Hang on...

0:38:13 > 0:38:18- You're looking at a fan of Lloyd Loom.- Oh, yes, interesting.

0:38:18 > 0:38:22Rare configuration with a clockwork musical mechanism to enhance

0:38:22 > 0:38:25it further. This is a little gem.

0:38:25 > 0:38:2820 we have. 20 bid. 20 bid. 22, 22...

0:38:28 > 0:38:31This should be easier than this. 22, my bid's in the room.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34It is too inexpensive. 22, 22...

0:38:34 > 0:38:3825. Yes, sir. 28. Thank you. 28...

0:38:38 > 0:38:42- Who else is interested? Cracking little armchair, this.- We want more.

0:38:42 > 0:38:46- Give us another bid, look at that. That lovely young man.- Come again.

0:38:46 > 0:38:4935, 38... Still cheap.

0:38:49 > 0:38:5138, he shakes his head. 38, 38...

0:38:51 > 0:38:57- Last chance and selling now at £38...- I love it, I love it.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59- Yes!- Yes!- £38.

0:38:59 > 0:39:03£38 plus £8. You are plus 18, girls.

0:39:03 > 0:39:05Come on, control yourselves a minute.

0:39:05 > 0:39:0918 plus 18. Now, the Staffordshire figures.

0:39:09 > 0:39:16Charmingly modelled as the cowherd and his bell, with the livestock.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19I have a bit of interest here so I will get it running at 35, 40, 40.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21Look at that! You're in profit!

0:39:21 > 0:39:24£40. 40 bid. 45, 50.

0:39:24 > 0:39:26Come again, madam? 55, 60.

0:39:26 > 0:39:33- Your turn. 65 takes me out. 65, 65... 65, 65. Is that it?- Come on.

0:39:33 > 0:39:38- I sell, then, at £65.- Prepare your ears, Tim.- Thank you madam.- Yes!

0:39:38 > 0:39:39THEY LAUGH

0:39:41 > 0:39:44- And you didn't like them! - I know, and I didn't like them!

0:39:46 > 0:39:48You got 35 from them and 18 before.

0:39:48 > 0:39:5335... 45... that is 53. That is plus 53 smacks, all right?

0:39:53 > 0:39:55That is £53 of profit.

0:39:55 > 0:40:00You only spent £110 and you got £53 profit on top of the 110.

0:40:00 > 0:40:01So that is absolutely brilliant.

0:40:01 > 0:40:04- Now, what are you going to do about the onion bottle?- Oh.

0:40:04 > 0:40:08You have the choice now of getting maybe even more by supporting

0:40:08 > 0:40:11- David Harper and running with the onion bottle.- What do you reckon?

0:40:11 > 0:40:15- Sisters.- I think we should run with it.- Go on, then. Let's go for it. - You think you should run with it?

0:40:15 > 0:40:18- Yeah, we'll go with it. - Angels, angels.- Really? - Yeah.- OK, fine, good.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21- I'll bow to her superior knowledge, as always.- Yes, exactly.

0:40:21 > 0:40:25- What with her being your younger sister.- Of course. - Anyway, brilliant.

0:40:25 > 0:40:28- OK, that's it. We're going with the bonus buy and here it comes. - Thank you, you two.

0:40:28 > 0:40:33This is an early 18th-century wine bottle of compressed onion form.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36And in excellent condition. £50 to get me started.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38£50, £50, 55 now, 55,

0:40:38 > 0:40:4060, 60 bid,

0:40:40 > 0:40:4465, 70, it's all on the net. 75.

0:40:44 > 0:40:4575, still inexpensive.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48You're in profit, well done, David.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50- 75, 80, £80... - David Harper, our leg-end.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52- Yes, yes, yes.- 80 bid. It is all on the net, then.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54Last chance and selling...

0:40:54 > 0:40:57- At £80 then.- £80.- Yes!

0:41:00 > 0:41:03OK, well, that's...amazing.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06So, plus £68. How magnificent is that?

0:41:06 > 0:41:10- Absolutely fantastic.- You're jolly well right. What a successful team.

0:41:10 > 0:41:14- What an accessible outing.- We're so proud of you, David.- Yes, yes.

0:41:14 > 0:41:18- I'm proud of you. Do you know what, let's go and do it again, shall we? - Yeah.- Why not?

0:41:18 > 0:41:22- I beg your pardon. Hang on a minute. - You're invited.- Oh, thanks!

0:41:22 > 0:41:26Well, I tell you what, what we're going to do is to have a little rap.

0:41:26 > 0:41:29We're going to be revealed to the Reds exactly how you've done and vice-y vers-y.

0:41:29 > 0:41:33- Are you ready for this?- Brilliant, yes.- Yes.- OK, off we go. - Bring it on.- Bring it on.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36- You are magnificent, you two. Thank you very much.- Thank you.- Great.

0:41:42 > 0:41:44- Everybody happy?- Yes!

0:41:44 > 0:41:45As you well should be happy

0:41:45 > 0:41:50- because both teams are going home with lots of cash.- Woo!

0:41:50 > 0:41:53- Oh, my God!- Isn't that lovely? Oh!

0:41:53 > 0:41:56It's just a question of scale.

0:41:56 > 0:42:00And the team that's marginally behind are...

0:42:00 > 0:42:02- the Blues.- Oh!- No!

0:42:05 > 0:42:08- The Blues are going home with... - Damn you, Reds!

0:42:08 > 0:42:12..£68 of lolly.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14Here we go. Look at this.

0:42:14 > 0:42:1668 is a good number.

0:42:16 > 0:42:20And you get admittance to the ancient and noble order

0:42:20 > 0:42:22- of golden gavellers.- Oh, yes!

0:42:22 > 0:42:26Now, have you ever seen two sisters look happier? I haven't.

0:42:26 > 0:42:31- So, in addition, please take your golden gavel.- Thank you.

0:42:31 > 0:42:35- That's right, gently. Thank you. Now, Dave, for your collection. - Marvellous, thank you, Tim.

0:42:35 > 0:42:40Very good. And we'll go to the Reds. But nothing can stop the Reds today.

0:42:40 > 0:42:45They are so much on fire. And you are going home, girls, with £107.

0:42:45 > 0:42:47HUBBUB

0:42:47 > 0:42:51- There you go.- Thank you. - There is 105 in there, you have to believe me.

0:42:51 > 0:42:53- And here are another couple of smackers.- Thank you.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56No golden gavel for you though, girls. But has it been fun?

0:42:56 > 0:42:59- It's been great fun. We've had a great time. - We've had a great time, Tim.

0:42:59 > 0:43:01- Well, we've loved it. - Lots of laughs.

0:43:01 > 0:43:04And you have been just amazing, the two of you.

0:43:04 > 0:43:07Thank you so much for coming and playing with us today. It's been great.
