0:00:05 > 0:00:06Today we are at
0:00:06 > 0:00:10the Newark International Antiques and Collectors fair.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11SIREN
0:00:11 > 0:00:12Hang on...
0:00:12 > 0:00:15there seems to be an emergency!
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah!
0:00:39 > 0:00:41# Run and get the Fire Brigade
0:00:41 > 0:00:42# Get the Fire Brigade
0:00:42 > 0:00:45# See the buildings start to really burn! #
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Tackling today's challenge,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50we have two teams of firefighters.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56And with 2,500 stalls and only an hour to do it,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59today is quite a challenge.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01But will they be able to take the heat?
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Or will their enthusiasm be extinguished
0:01:03 > 0:01:05over at the auction?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Here's a quick taste as to what's coming up.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12We have one firecracker of a show for you today!
0:01:12 > 0:01:15For extra discounts, the Reds are flipping coins.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Oh, I don't believe you!
0:01:19 > 0:01:20But the Blues have been recruited
0:01:20 > 0:01:22for their traditional haggling skills.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- They're very good, aren't they?- No!
0:01:24 > 0:01:25I think 20 is...
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Can I hire you?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28I think 20's good.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Are you going to come with me buying and haggle?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35At auction, both teams are hoping bidders will bite...
0:01:35 > 0:01:37They'll be barking not to buy this.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- 22... 5, 8... - Yay! Go on!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43But before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Gosh! Have we got some hot teams for you today!
0:01:48 > 0:01:50For the Reds, we've got Steven and Colin,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52and for the Blues, Luke and Lee.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hello, Tim. - Lovely to see you.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Now, Steven, you've been a firefighter for 27 years.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00You must have faced some challenges in your time.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Yes, I did join... When I joined, I had a bit of a fear of heights
0:02:03 > 0:02:05so it did put me off for quite a while.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08We used to have a turntable ladder, which is basically a fire engine
0:02:08 > 0:02:11with a massive great hundred-foot ladder on the back.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13So they'd bring the ladder up,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16you'd climb up to the first level of the ladder,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19clip yourself on, and then they'd shoot you up...
0:02:19 > 0:02:22which means they'd just extend the ladder to 100 feet.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25So I'm there at the top of the ladder,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27and they just rotate you round. I was clinging on for dear life.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- You wouldn't want to be standing on the ground after that one, would you?- No.- Exactly.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35So, how have you tackled that fear of heights, then?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Well, since I became 50,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I decided to do myself a bucket list
0:02:39 > 0:02:42and most of that involved mastering my fear of heights.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44So, I've done a skydive,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47I'm currently doing some paragliding training,
0:02:47 > 0:02:51when...it's, like, run down a hill with a parachute strapped to
0:02:51 > 0:02:53your back and leaving the ground and taking off.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55And you love renovating things.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58I get a big kick out of... something's probably discarded,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01almost thrown away, if I get it working again.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Recycling.- Recycling.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Upcycling.- Upcycling. - Yes, good for you.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Now, Colin, you've retired from the Fire Service.- Yes.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- And where do you live now? - I live in Devon now.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13And how many years were you in for?
0:03:13 > 0:03:17I retired in 2008, got bored with being retired after six months
0:03:17 > 0:03:19and joined the NHS,
0:03:19 > 0:03:23where I still work as a call handler for the Torbay area.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Is that stressful, that work?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28It's probably more stressful than the Fire Service actually was.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I mean, I saw loads of fires, but you get used to those.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I think the stressful part of the call handling centre
0:03:34 > 0:03:37is when the dears press their pendants
0:03:37 > 0:03:39and you can't make out what they call you for
0:03:39 > 0:03:41and you have to ascertain what they want exactly.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- That can be quite stressful at times. - Yes, I bet.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46And do you, between you, know anything about antiques?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- Steve, do you know about antiques? - No, not really.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- What about you?- Antiques, yes, I do.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I like antiques. I used to collect a bit of Clarice Cliff,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57but I haven't got a great knowledge of antiques as such,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00but I do enjoy watching the shows and building up experience.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Which should be standing you in good stead today, I hope, both of you.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Anyway, good luck with all of that.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- Now, moving on. Luke.- Hello.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Your life is challenging, is it rewarding?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Is there a sense of camaraderie in the Fire Service?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Yes, I think that's probably the best thing about it.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Everybody's friends, everybody looks after each other, don't they, really?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23It's a really good job, really enjoy it. Every day is different.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Me and Lee both work together. We're on Blue Watch.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Hence, the Blue team.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- I guess you have to keep quite fit. - Yes.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I'm sporty, I like a lot of sport, play rugby, football,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35play a bit of cricket and golf, when I can, when I've got the time.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39I understand, Lee, that Bargain Hunt's quite popular in the fire station?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- I think it is, for us. - It's always on.- We don't, we love it.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44It's great!
0:04:44 > 0:04:47And it's taught you everything you know about antiques, I take it?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- It's taught us nothing, really, to be honest, Tim.- Oh, great(!)
0:04:50 > 0:04:52We know a bit of, what is it, Clarice Hill and Moorcroft
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- and stuff like that...- That's it!
0:04:54 > 0:04:57No, we always say to each other, you know, when they've bought something
0:04:57 > 0:05:00we always just think, "Oh, we can do better than that!"
0:05:00 > 0:05:03And today's going to be your opportunity to show them.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- You watch us.- We're going to give you £300 now, just to whet your appetite.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08You can go and spend the whole lot if you like.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- And you'll have your expert. There you go.- Thanks very much.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13There's your £300. You know the rules, your experts await...
0:05:13 > 0:05:14And off you go!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19No experience at all in antiques...
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Great!
0:05:21 > 0:05:24'Ha! Time to meet today's experts.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27'Ready to run with the Reds, it's Catherine Southon.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33'And hoping for sky-high profits for the Blues is Richard Madley.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39'Now, what are the team tactics today?'
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Personally, I think we haven't got any tactics.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- STEVE:- My house looks like Steptoe's back yard,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- so I am very cheap and very cheerful.- Right.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50and I've been watching Bargain Hunt as training
0:05:50 > 0:05:52and I think we make the money with buying things cheap.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54So you're are doing cheap...
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- To win, probably, is our only tactic. - Well, I like that, as well.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01'And what are they looking for?'
0:06:01 > 0:06:02I'm looking for quality,
0:06:02 > 0:06:05a bit of quality and get the money out of Steve's pocket
0:06:05 > 0:06:06and spend something today.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- 'Right then, teams, your time starts now.' - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Come on, let's go and win then. - Let's go!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14OK, so cheap tat, expensive quality.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19This is going to be difficult. Come on!
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Seeing as I've got my hat on... - Thank you!
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Ha-ha.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- ALl right, you can take it off. - You look charming.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Cheers, mate. Thank you! - Yes, yes, no.- No!
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I've seen blue and white plates sell for quite a bit.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Blue and white, yes, you're absolutely right.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Blue and white transfer printed pottery...
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- CATHERINE:- Would you want your nuts cracked?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44THEY LAUGH
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Got a lot of marks on it...
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- It's...- A bit off there, needs a good clean.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Yeah, it's got...condition issues.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53We're going to pass on that.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55'Look! The Reds have already been reeled in.'
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I've seen fishing reels.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Actually, they do fetch... That's rather nice, that is, to be honest.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Do you know much about fishing? - I fish, yes.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05It looks nicely made, nicely turned, doesn't it?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07What's nice, it has got some lovely patina to it,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09certainly looks like it's got a bit of age.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11So maybe early 20th century...
0:07:11 > 0:07:14There's no name on it or anything, which is slightly disappointing.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I mean, it's marked at 27.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18You can have it for...20. I can lose the seven.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23You want that? Is that your sort of thing?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Could we squeeze you any tighter? - Um, no.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I can only really go to 20.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- I'll tell you what, how about the toss of a coin?- Go on, then.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33If you win, it's 20.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34If we win, it's 18.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37He's a gambler, isn't he? I know, he's just tight.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Heads.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Oh, I've won.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- 20 quid it is.- Oh!- We lost.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44£20 it is.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I'll shake your hand to that, thank you.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48'An early heads-up for the Reds.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51'£20 for the fishing reel, bought within the first five minutes.'
0:07:51 > 0:07:55# I just can't believe the wonder of this feeling tonight
0:07:55 > 0:07:57# I just can't believe... #
0:07:57 > 0:07:59'The Blues have been hooked, too.'
0:07:59 > 0:08:01# Ah, sugar! #
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Are they sugar tongs? - They are indeed.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07You see, you know more than you let on, don't you?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- A good spot, that, Lee. - A good spot indeed.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12The man with no tactics, I think he started very well. Shall we...
0:08:12 > 0:08:13I'm an expert in silver!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Shall we find out how much they are? - Shall we do that?- Yeah.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Could I have a look in here?- Yes. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I was just enquiring about the...
0:08:22 > 0:08:23sugar tongs.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26These look to me as if they're Georgian.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28You, of course, have got 20/20 vision.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I've got to get my eyepiece out.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Well, I think we're in luck, boys.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34We've got a maker's mark, RM.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- That's my initials. - That's even better, then.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42- I feel this is...- Luck's on our side. This could be fate, indeed.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46They are silver, they have got a little lion's mark there.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48How much is the most important thing, though.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Ah, well, that is where this gentleman comes in.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- £65.- £65?- How much?- 65.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Have a feel of them.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I was going to say that silver should feel warm...
0:09:01 > 0:09:03..and silver plate is colder.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- They're delicate. - Very delicate indeed.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08This is when you ate cubed sugar
0:09:08 > 0:09:11with your tea, your afternoon tea.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- They could still be used. - Let's have a look.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- I like them. I think it's a lot of money for them...- Do you?- ..but I do like them.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- I like the engraving on it. - Well, I am with you.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22We've got to think about the auction.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24The auction is going to include other silver,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26there'll be silver buyers there.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Was that the final price?- 65. LUKE: 50?
0:09:29 > 0:09:30SELLER: 60.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- 60. Well, we went down five. - We tried.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Personally, if you're asking my professional opinion,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I think you've made a good spot to start with.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Are we in?- Yeah, let's do it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Thank you. They're sold. Thank you.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44A Blues buy, nipped in the bud.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Within seven minutes, they've bought some silver sugar tongs for £60.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50'Hold your horses!
0:09:50 > 0:09:52The Reds might have a punt on this gee-gee...
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Can you imagine having that in your garden, though?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58A little lame, possibly?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00The Blues, on the other hand, are galloping away.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02You could say they're on fire!
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Inside, the Reds are wishing they were on safari.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Those elephants are rather different, aren't they?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- They look quite new.- Do they?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- I think so. - He reckons they are about 1920s.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I don't know that they're '20s, I think Deco style.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Not Art Deco, but very Nouveau.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- I saw a bronze statue of a bowler. - Yes.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33It just caught my eye, only just for you to tell me
0:10:33 > 0:10:35a little bit about him.
0:10:35 > 0:10:42Well, it is bronze spelter on marble base, probably 1930s/'40s.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- Nice thing and not a lot of money. - How much is it?
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- 45.- 45?- Yeah. Not a bad price.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Not a bad price, but...
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- But I could give you a chance - 25. - I think we'll have a chance at 20.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Maybe a better chance at 20. - Have you heard him?!
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- They're very good, aren't they? No.- Can I hire you?
0:11:04 > 0:11:08You can come with me buying and haggle.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Well, if ever your firefighting career is extinguished,
0:11:12 > 0:11:13you've got a job here, boys.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15But back to the job in hand - the bowler.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20Patinated spelter, so a bronze figure of a lawn bowler
0:11:20 > 0:11:24circa, by the dress, what do you think? 1930s?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26He's got a bit of movement in there.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28He's the wrong sport, isn't he?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Rugby would be better, but it's the wrong shaped ball.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33What do you think of stuff like that? Does it sell?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I would say I would guide it at £20-£30 at auction,
0:11:36 > 0:11:41- so you're offering it to us halfway there.- 25.
0:11:41 > 0:11:4320, yeah.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Oh, he goes, "20, yeah." Isn't he good?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50We'll take it off you so you don't have to carry it home - 20 quid.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Go on, then.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Thank you very much, that's a very generous discount.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Let's shake on it.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58The brazen haggling paid off
0:11:58 > 0:12:00and the second item is in the bag for the Blues.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03There was just no saying no to a £20 deal
0:12:03 > 0:12:05on the bronze spelter bowler.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10In the meanwhile, have a look at this.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I've found a little gem, look.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16This is a great colour, isn't it?
0:12:16 > 0:12:20If you're fond of green and you're fond of hard stone,
0:12:20 > 0:12:26this will get your pulses racing, this gorgeous, pale green.
0:12:26 > 0:12:32It's a stone that's been popular for centuries, indeed millennia,
0:12:32 > 0:12:37and is of course a shade of jade. Now, this is a special shape.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41It's sometimes called a dragon's circlet,
0:12:41 > 0:12:42but actually, the element
0:12:42 > 0:12:46that it's trying to represent is a little piggy-wig.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47Can you see the pig in this?
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Certainly, it's got a pointed snout, look,
0:12:51 > 0:12:56and those oval eyes take you towards the Orient.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Now, if you were lucky, you might have come across this fellow
0:13:00 > 0:13:03if you were digging in north-east China,
0:13:03 > 0:13:08because this thing comes from the Hongshu period in China.
0:13:08 > 0:13:14That is between 4,000 BC and 2,900 BC,
0:13:14 > 0:13:19so nigh on 6,000 years ago.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22It's pierced with a little hole in the middle of its back,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24because apparently, they sewed objects
0:13:24 > 0:13:27made of jade onto their clothes,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30sometimes quite densely sewn onto robes,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34so that were you to walk around in them, they would jangle together
0:13:34 > 0:13:37and make a little musical tune.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Now, you visit a fair, you come across an object which is intriguing
0:13:41 > 0:13:48and has a great story to it, and in the same fair, what happens?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Like the buses, another one comes along.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57Except that this one is a whopper.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59How about that?
0:13:59 > 0:14:05This is the biggest lump of jade of this type I think I've ever seen.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10It follows the form of the other, but has a sort of Art Deco
0:14:10 > 0:14:15and streamlined look to the piggy-wig's eyes,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17and of course, the colour,
0:14:17 > 0:14:22this dark green with lots of striations, is a delight to behold.
0:14:22 > 0:14:28Do I really, really believe that these two objects date back
0:14:28 > 0:14:31to 4,000 years BC?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34In my heart of hearts, I don't.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38But in a way, I don't care either, because the two objects
0:14:38 > 0:14:43act as a reminder of this incredibly early civilisation and they're
0:14:43 > 0:14:48tactile, they're decorative and, for me, they tick a lot of boxes.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51What might you have to pay for them?
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Well, if they were period, they would cost you many, many thousands
0:14:55 > 0:15:01of pounds, but in a fair like this, they could be yours for £150.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05'Ha! There you go. Still a bit more than your average takeaway, eh?'
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Back at the fair, the firefighters are still tackling
0:15:10 > 0:15:15the shopping, with the Blues having bought two items already.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19The Reds are lagging behind a bit with two yet to find.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Well, after a quick start, I think we're struggling now,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24but about 25 minutes left, I think, but we'll get something.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I know Colin will pull his finger out and make a decision, I think.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28But Colin doesn't need to worry,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30because Catherine has come to the rescue.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Now, I know you don't like silver. - Right.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36It's actually not silver, it's silver plate.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40A little butter dish with this lovely crackle finish on the bottom,
0:15:40 > 0:15:45but what I love is that little cow on the top.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50It's Victorian and my eye just goes to that little calf.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- And what sort of price is it? - I've had a word with the lady.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55She's got it up for 95, but she can do 55 on it.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I could see that at 40 to 60
0:15:58 > 0:16:01and with the wind behind it, that might...
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Could we try tickling her a little bit more?- You are a tickler, aren't you?
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- I'll give it a go.- I'm just really conscious of time, guys.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Don't toss a coin now.- Yeah, don't get your coin out, for God's sake,
0:16:12 > 0:16:13you're no good with that.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Do your best, Steven, eh?
0:16:15 > 0:16:16You've got it at 55.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Do you think we could squeeze a little bit more out of you?
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Yes, I will certainly do over 50, but that's where it has to stop.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25At 50, that's a good buy, a very good buy.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Did the tickling work?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30You didn't get the coin out, did you?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32No, I didn't get the coin out this time.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- She will go another £5. - I'm happy to go for 50 on that one.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- You sure?- Yeah.- You can take it and shake the lady's hand.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45- He's standing clear of that one. I like your work!- Exactly.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Yeah, OK?- Yeah.- Fine.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49The butter dish is theirs for £50.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Less than 20 minutes to go, though, to find their last item.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57The Blues, in the meantime, are being taught a lesson.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- It's just an old school satchel, isn't it?- That's an old...
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- School satchel, isn't it? - No, wartime veterinary toolbag.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10Yeah, I like that. Something different to our other items as well.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- And what's the asking price on this? - The asking price is 125.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I'll do 80, it's one thing less to pack.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Are things like that selling at the moment?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Yeah, there is an interest, definitely, in vintage luggage.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- What time have we got left? - We're down to about ten minutes now.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28This is a pretty good offer.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- We could put it on hold and come back in five?- We'll be five minutes.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Done.- I'll keep it back for you. - So we know it's here, excellent.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Keep your eyes peeled then, Blues.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43The Reds, however, are not quite as focused as they should be.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- I am seriously putting the pressure on you two now.- OK.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- OK, where are we going? - I can feel the panic rising.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53These firefighters are just too cool under pressure. Come on, chaps.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56If we don't see anything else, in that corner back there,
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I did see some walking sticks.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01The Blues have a similar idea too,
0:18:01 > 0:18:05having spotted some sticks on the same stall as the satchel.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08How about a walking cane?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Have a look at those there, because I think, amongst those,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14we've probably got something there that could fit the bill.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Is there any sort of ones you're looking for?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Well, I think we'd like one that's got a silver top.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21That's nice, it's got two bits of silver on that.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24I was going to go more for the walking cane,
0:18:24 > 0:18:30the gentleman's walking cane. Silver topped, probably dates...
0:18:30 > 0:18:32It looks to me from here that it's Victorian.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Hopefully, if it's silver, it's got a maker's mark on it.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Different patterns on there. Will that be a mark, then, there?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Let's have a look here, I'll just get my third eye out now.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I'll have a look.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45And there are the marks there.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49I think they're probably Birmingham, late 19th century.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52It's a regimental stick.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54That's right, Richard.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57That's the crest for the Manchester Regiment.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00I think that's got quite a nice feel to that one there.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02The different patterning on it is good as well.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Shall we have a little enquiry about the prices generally of these?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Would that be of interest? - Yeah, what sort of...
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Can we get a feel for the prices of canes, just generally?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- That one there could be 65.- That one could be 65, OK.- It COULD be 65.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16It could be 65.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18It looks Victorian to me.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20It's got a rubbed maker's mark, but it looks Victorian.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- Any chance of just slightly rubbing the price?- 55?
0:19:24 > 0:19:30- It'll have to be 60.- I think 60 is a fair discount. It's a fair discount.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32I think this could do OK.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35There are collectors with canes out there, so what do you think?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I think we should have a go with that, yeah.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- Do you want to go for that? - Thank you, sir. It's sold.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Great! Third and last Blues item
0:19:41 > 0:19:43bought with minutes to spare. Well done, chaps.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- Cup of tea or a pint of beer? - BOTH: A pint of beer.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49A pint of beer it is, then! Let's go!
0:19:51 > 0:19:53# The heat is on... #
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Catherine, however, is turning up the heat
0:19:55 > 0:19:56on the cool-as-cucumber Reds.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01Two minutes, two minutes, two minutes... That's £400!
0:20:01 > 0:20:06- We've got two minutes, two minutes. Canes? You like canes?- That's fine.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Have you got a cheap cane that we can buy?- What do you call "cheap"?
0:20:09 > 0:20:13I don't know, 60, 70, 80, that we can make a bit of profit on?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I'm struggling, really.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18The best I could probably do is this one, which is
0:20:18 > 0:20:22sort of like a carved Victorian cane with a carved ivory bulldog's
0:20:22 > 0:20:27head and its jaw sort of reticulates like that, which a Victorian lady
0:20:27 > 0:20:30would put her lace gloves in while she was shopping.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31But this isn't a lady's...
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Well, no, it probably is, the same sort of thing.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Perhaps he's a dandy with lace gloves.- He might be a dandy.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40And what I love, I love the grease on that
0:20:40 > 0:20:42where you've got that patination.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- And if you notice, it's just at a bit of an angle, you see?- Yeah.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- But that has got to be 100.- That's quite nice, that.- Do you like that?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Look, "Woof-woof-woof, buy me, buy me, buy me!"
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Something tells me Catherine is feeling the pressure.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Shall we get this?- Can we have a toss of a coin between 90 and 100?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- We haven't got time for that! - Between 90 and 100.- Buy it, buy it.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- The toss of a coin, yep. - If we lose, we pay the 100.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Flipping heck, you don't have time for this. Make the deal!
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Heads it's 100, tails it's not.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- All right, I'll let it go to the floor.- Oh, I don't believe you!
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- I'm...- Tails.- 90. - OK, then.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I lost one earlier.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21I've got you out of a mess.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Well, you have really got us out of a mess.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- WHISTLE BLOWS - Stop horsing about!
0:21:26 > 0:21:2760 minutes are up.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- I'm having a heart attack here!- With your assistance, that's fine, yeah.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- And you're good in an emergency, are you? Well...- The nick of time!
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- The nick of time!- Come on, come on.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:21:40 > 0:21:45The Reds landed an early buy with a wood and brass fishing reel for £20.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49They then spread out 50 smooth notes
0:21:49 > 0:21:53for a late Victorian butter dish with a cow finial on the top.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56And finally, after flipping a coin, they succeeded in buying
0:21:56 > 0:22:01a Victorian articulated dog's head walking cane for £90.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Gosh, that was a close shave, wasn't it?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06You were down to the last ten seconds.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- Yep, seven seconds, to be precise, Tim.- All your coin tossing too!
0:22:10 > 0:22:13You've got to beat them down somehow, Tim.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15OK, now, which is your favourite piece?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17The fishing reel, the first thing we bought.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19All right, and what about you, Col?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- I think the butter dish, actually. - Will that bring the biggest profit?
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- Well, that's why I like it. - I think my fishing reel.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Well, there's the predictions, lovely.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- And you spent altogether how much? - £160, Tim.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Magnificent, £160, so I'd like £140 of leftover lolly, please.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- There you go, Tim.- £140 of leftover lolly, straight over to Catherine.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Now, you're an expert, Catherine, at converting this into further profit.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47Am I? I don't know! I will certainly give it my very best shot.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I'm sure you will and good luck with that.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54The Blues picked up some sweet little
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Georgian silver sugar tongs for £60.
0:22:58 > 0:23:04They were then knocked out by a spelter bowling figure - £20 spent.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08And finally, they also bought a walking stick as their third
0:23:08 > 0:23:12item, a silver-topped cane, for £60.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Well, chaps, that was all right, wasn't it?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Not bad, yeah, a bit cold but good.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18You slipped out very quickly to get your tongs.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Yeah, very early on, the first thing we really saw and we liked them,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23didn't we? You spotted them.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26It's either fire tongs or sugar tongs to you people, isn't it?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Yeah, it is!- You've got to be picking stuff up. OK, which is your favourite item?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32I think the bronze statue is mine, I think it's the one we're going to
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- make the most money on. - Oh, a double prediction, lovely.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36We've been told already, Tim.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- So you're going to agree with what you've been told, are you?- No.- No!
0:23:40 > 0:23:42So, which is your favourite piece, then?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I think I'll go along with the same thing.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- We got it at quite a good price. - The tongs, yes?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48No, no, the bronze statue.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50The bronze statue, yeah, we don't have to agree.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- I think we got a good price. - That'll bring the biggest profit? - Definitely, Tim.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- I think so, yeah. - Well, that's marvellous.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- And how much did you spend altogether?- 140.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- I'd like £160 of leftover lolly, then, please.- There you go, sir.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04You don't want to give that up, do you?
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Nor do I, really, but it's got to go on. Now, have you got a plan?
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Er, I have indeed.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13They've been quite a noisy team, and so therefore I'm going to buy
0:24:13 > 0:24:18- something that might drown out the Blue team.- Really?- Good luck!
0:24:18 > 0:24:21That IS going to be loud, isn't it? Anyway, good luck with that.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26Meanwhile, we are about to shuffle to the auction. How lovely!
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Today's auction is at Hansons Saleroom here in Etwall, Derbyshire
0:24:33 > 0:24:37and working his magic on our items will be auctioneer Charles Hanson.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Bid me 60! A really nice object.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Well, this is great, Charles.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- I can't tell you how lovely it is to see you. Are you OK?- Yes, very well.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Well, the place is stuffed with gear and people
0:24:49 > 0:24:51so we should have an exciting auction.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- The Reds have gone with a lovely mixture, I think.- Yes.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57They've thought through Derbyshire when buying that fishing reel,
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- haven't they?- They certainly have. Although we are, I suppose, landlocked,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04but the art of fishing would have begun in Derbyshire all those years
0:25:04 > 0:25:08ago with that great man Izaak Walton in the late 17th century,
0:25:08 > 0:25:12only about 30 miles due south of here near Ashbourne and the Peak.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- We do now hold fishing sales. - Do you?
0:25:14 > 0:25:19We do have collectors' sales for reels and everything else.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23It's in nice condition, it's got a good colour.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Probably circa 1900 or thereabouts. We've said £10-£15.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- OK, might make 20 easily, mightn't it?- Yes, it ought to, hopefully.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Lovely. OK, now, the plated butter dish
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- with that fantastic crackle ice bottom.- Yes.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40When I first saw it, Tim, I thought, "Goodness, could it be George III?
0:25:40 > 0:25:44"Is it 1806 and worth £2,000-£3,000?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- It isn't, but it is the next best thing.- Yes.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50In the sense that it probably is late Victorian with that craquelure
0:25:50 > 0:25:56- ice glass base and that cast cow on top.- So, what's it worth, Charles?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58It's a real delight - between £40 and £60.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00And our team paid £50, so 40-60, that's lovely,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02that's right in the middle.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05And then we've got this enchanting, rather naive walking stick.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08This cane is like no other. It's a good example.
0:26:08 > 0:26:13I love the handle, not because it's carved with our great canine
0:26:13 > 0:26:17friend, but more because it has the jaw that will say hello.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19What do you think of the show so far?
0:26:19 > 0:26:25"Rubbish!" That's marvellous, isn't it? It's not that old, is it?
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- Is it 1920s or 1930s, do you think? - Yeah, Tim, the finish is very good.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31I love the ferrule, it's a nice horn ferrule.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36Moving up, it's a good tapered shaft and I think a nice, clean object.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38We've put a guide price on it between 30 and 50.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41They paid £90, which I think is too much. We shall see, won't we?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- They've bought three interesting items.- They have.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48But they may need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51OK, Steven, Colin, this is exciting.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54You spent 160, you gave Catherine 140.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57With the whole world at your feet, Catherine, What did you buy?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- We've got a pierced brass letter rack.- How old is it?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Is it older than this old fossil? - Ohh, only a little bit.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06This is Victorian, I would say probably late Victorian.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09So we're looking at late 19th century there,
0:27:09 > 0:27:13but it's got a use and I didn't spend all your money.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18- Go on, then, Catherine, what did you spend?- 22.- That's good.- Is that good?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- Can I have a...- Have a feel.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23I think it's attractive, I think it's got a purpose for £22.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25And how much do you think it'll make?
0:27:25 > 0:27:30Realistically, if that came to me, I think I would probably
0:27:30 > 0:27:34put £30-£50 on it and would hope it would do around the 40 mark.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35- Where are we?- Derby.- Derbyshire.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38There are country houses here, lots of country houses.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42It'll be an interesting test of the market, won't it?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Listen, you don't pick now, you pick later,
0:27:44 > 0:27:45after the sale of your first three items,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48but right now, for the audience at home,
0:27:48 > 0:27:51let's find out from the auctioneer what the Derbyshire price is.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- Yesterday's antique or what, Charles?- I think so, Tim.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59It is a yesterday antique, but it has got, I suppose,
0:27:59 > 0:28:00that minor country house feel.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02It's well cast,
0:28:02 > 0:28:06it's in this Baroque style with this big satyr mask here.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10It's been well worked, with a hint of the Arts and Crafts.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15The oak base is right, it must be about 1900-1910. It's not bad.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- How much?- £15-£25.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- OK, well, Catherine paid £22 so that's about right, isn't it?- Yes.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Good. Well, that's that out of the way.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27Next for the Blues, the lovely silver sugar nips.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32- Do you fancy those?- I do, because they are so delightful.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37They're delicate, and they almost capture, in style, that Rococo.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39But in fact, they're nips,
0:28:39 > 0:28:43which would date to around, I think, 1785 to 1795.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45And they are just wonderful, because you just imagine,
0:28:45 > 0:28:48who held those nips over the years?
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Exactly. How much?
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- I think they are worth between £40 and £60.- OK, £60 paid.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Now, we've got a man bowling.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Yes, he's obviously a poor man's bronze, in a sense,
0:28:58 > 0:29:00he is a base metal with this bronze coating.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02He's probably 1930s to 1940s.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Make a nice trophy, wouldn't it?
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- Yes, it would.- Put a little plaque on the bottom.- Yes.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Quite an inexpensive trophy for a club.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- You see so many trophies now that are just, I wouldn't say cheap, but modern.- Yes.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- This has pedigree and age. - And presence.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19- And won't be expensive.- Won't be expensive. OK. So, how expensive?
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Market value probably between £30 and £40.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Well, that's amazing, because Richard went for this at £20.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28So, he's paid the right price. Good buy, that.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33- Now, we've got a malacca cane.- You can see it's been really worked.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38You can see from the shaft it's had some quite serious wear and tear.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41But it is complete, still. What I like about this cane
0:29:41 > 0:29:45is that it's got a fairly substantial mushroom handle.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49There is some wear. I would love to know who this monogram was for.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51It's all there, it's just a nice object.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55- Bit bashed though, isn't it, Charles?- It is a bit bashed.- What sort of money is it going to bring?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Well, we have put a guide price on it between £20 and £30.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- That's not expensive, is it? - No.- No.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03- OK, £60 paid.- OK.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07Well, if the team has a problem that drags them down, it will be that stick.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10In which case, they'll need their bonus buy, won't they?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15OK, chaps. You spent a magnificent £140.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18You gave £160 to Ricardo. What did you spend it on, Richard?
0:30:18 > 0:30:20I bought you...
0:30:20 > 0:30:22a bugle.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27A bugle - unsigned, but allegedly, allegedly, according to the person who sold it to me,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- possibly used during the First World War.- Can I have a look?
0:30:30 > 0:30:36- Of course you can have a look. Indeed.- Does it work?- Does it work? Here's a chance to find out.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38HE ATTEMPTS TO PLAY
0:30:38 > 0:30:43- Well, it worked fine when I bought it.- Maybe not.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- You've gone a funny colour, Lee. - Yeah, thank you. Just been on holiday.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48THEY LAUGH
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- So, how much did you pay? - How much did I pay?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Well, the dealer was asking £30 for it.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58I managed to negotiate it down to 20.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02They're always popular, these sort of things. They're decorative, nobody really blow...
0:31:02 > 0:31:04they hang them on the wall and they just look the part.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07And I just thought this one's fine, I think, at £20.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Do you think there's a bit of money to be made on that?
0:31:09 > 0:31:14I'm hoping that there's going to be at least the tenner I'd knocked off the dealer
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- when I first bought it.- OK. Fine. Thank you very much. You happy with that?- Yeah. Thank you.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22Well, right now, for the audience at home, let's find out from our
0:31:22 > 0:31:25auctioneer whether this subject is going to strike the right note!
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- OK, Charles, are you running out of puff?- David, you know what, I'm a simple man
0:31:30 > 0:31:32and this really is the most simplest of instruments.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36There's no insignia, there's no inscription, there's no military connection.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38It's just a bit bland.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43- On its side is its age. It's probably got a few years - maybe 1910, 20.- OK, fine.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- So, it's not a new reproduction, anyway.- No, it's not.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- You've got a mouthpiece, it's ready to blow.- Yes.- How much?
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- Between 15 and £25. - OK, Richard paid £20.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- So, he's paid the right price. - Yes, he has.- If the team decide to go with it.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Which is the excitement, really.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03And we are, Charles - I have to tell you before your auction - very, very excited.
0:32:03 > 0:32:04I shall huff and puff.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07INDISTINCT AUCTION ROOM CHATTER
0:32:13 > 0:32:1650, I'm bid. Do I see 5 now? 50, I'm bid. Sold it!
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- Are you excited about the auction? - Absolutely, yes.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Just hoping to beat the Trumpton lads by at least £5. That's our aim.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26The rivalry in these teams is unbelievable.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30First up then, chaps, is the fishing reel and here it comes.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34Where do we start? I'm bid here 8, 10, 12, £15.
0:32:34 > 0:32:39- That's more like it.- 18, do I see? Surely, £18?
0:32:39 > 0:32:4215, bid, surely £18 now. A wonderful reel.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45I'm asking 18. 15, I'm bid. 18, do I see?
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Online, 18. In the room, bid 20.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- Go one, for 18.- Surely one more?... - CATHERINE:- One more.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54You're all out. Bid now at 20.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- I sell online. - CATHERINE:- No, one more!- Oh, no.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- CHARLES:- Third warning - all done. For £18.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- Oh, chaps.- Close to being discombobulated there, mate.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Minus 2.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08Minus 2.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12This wonderful iced glass, silver plated butter dish
0:33:12 > 0:33:15with a recumbent cow in a Regency style
0:33:15 > 0:33:19and I'm bid here straight in at £25.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21I'm asking for now, please, 30.
0:33:21 > 0:33:2425, I'm bid for a really nice lot. Do I now see, please, 30?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- CATHERINE:- Come on! - CHARLES:- 25, I'm bid. I'm asking 30.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Surely, £30. A really good lot this.
0:33:29 > 0:33:3235. 40, I'm bid.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Do I see 5, now? £40 down here.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- Do I see five now?- I can't bear it. - All done.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39I shall sell.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Going once, going twice, at £40.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- 45, 50.- CATHERINE:- Yes! - CHARLES:- One more.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50Thank you. 45. Going, going... sold.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- Minus £5. You're one bid light on everything.- Not so good.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Now, the walking stick. Here we go.
0:33:57 > 0:33:58There we are, look at that cane.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02There we are, it's got a detachable jaw, as well.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04And I'm bid here straight in at £20.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06I'm asking 5 now.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08At 20, I'm bid. Do I see 5?
0:34:08 > 0:34:1030. And five? 40. And 5?
0:34:10 > 0:34:1250, I'm bid. Do I see 5 now?
0:34:12 > 0:34:1650, I'm bid on commission. 5 online, I'm asking now 60.

0:34:19 > 0:34:2370. Online, 5. Come on, internet.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27They'll be barking not to buy this, I tell you!
0:34:27 > 0:34:30I shall sell on the net today, All out.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32- CATHERINE:- We are so close to everything.
0:34:32 > 0:34:37For the second time, all done at £75.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Going, going, gone.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- Oh, no.- So near, yet so far. - One off 80 is minus £15.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- All minuses, I'm afraid. - Disappointing, isn't it?
0:34:46 > 0:34:50Not a huge total, though. 22, minus 22.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53What you going to do with the brass rack? Are you going to invest £22?
0:34:53 > 0:34:57- Are you going to do it, Col?- Yes. - We're going with the bonus buy and here it comes.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01- A lovely late Victorian folding brass letter rack. I'm bid £20.- Yes.

0:35:20 > 0:35:25It's a really good lot. Online, come again. Go one more.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28I shall sell to the lady, you're all out over here.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33At £55. Going all done. At £55.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- Well done.- Yay!
0:35:35 > 0:35:38She's transformed the day. That is a profit of £33.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40You were £22 down,
0:35:40 > 0:35:44- which means you walk away with £11 in your back pocket.- Well done.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- How good is that? - Well done. Well done, team.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50That is magnificent. That could be a winning score.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- Well, hopefully, yeah. - It should be a winning score.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- Just don't say a word to the Blues. - Absolutely not.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Now, double L - Luke and Lee.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- Do you know how the others got on? Do you know how those Reds got on? - No, not yet.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11They reckon that you're not going to do terribly well.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13- Oh, they're old men, aren't they? - Your nips, right.- Yes?
0:36:13 > 0:36:17- Nice sugar nips, all very handy. - Very.
0:36:17 > 0:36:2040 to 60, the auctioneer's put on them.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24You paid 60. You might be just a tad light, but you might not. And here they come.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29Here we are, a really nice pair of silver sugar nips.
0:36:29 > 0:36:34Maker's mark - RM. They will date to around 1785.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38I'm only bid here £18, they are so inexpensive.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40I'm asking 20, now.
0:36:40 > 0:36:4320 I'm bid. 22, I've got online. Do I see 5, now?
0:36:43 > 0:36:4822 commission bid, I'm asking 5. Come on. At 22, bid 5. Bid 5.

0:37:16 > 0:37:1845, I'm bid to a lady, I'm taking now.
0:37:18 > 0:37:2250, I sell to a lady for the first time, for the second time.
0:37:22 > 0:37:28Going once, going twice at £45. They're sold.
0:37:28 > 0:37:3345. You're minus 15. Bad luck, chaps.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Now, here comes our man.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40There he is. A lovely bronzed metal figure of a young man
0:37:40 > 0:37:45bowling a ball. Circa 1930s, early sporting interest.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- I like it.- We like it. We like it?

0:38:04 > 0:38:07Click your mouse and let's go for it.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10I sell to a lady.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13It's all over at £30. Fair warning.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Plus £10.
0:38:15 > 0:38:20Well done, that's a nice profit, but you're now minus £5.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- This is bad.- Bids in for your malacca cane, Birmingham hallmark.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27It has a history, if only it could talk!
0:38:27 > 0:38:29And I'm bid 25...
0:38:29 > 0:38:32That's more than we thought.

0:38:43 > 0:38:48I'm asking online, 60. For the first time, we're selling to you, sir.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52- For the second time, bid me 60 elsewhere.- Yeah, please!
0:38:52 > 0:38:55I sell. Going, going,
0:38:55 > 0:39:00- all done. It's yours, sir. Thanks a lot.- £55.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02That's minus £5. overall, you're minus £10.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04This is no money, this, is it?
0:39:04 > 0:39:06It's neither here nor there, really.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Well, come on. It's just bad luck.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12Now, what are you going to do about the bugle? Are you going to have a go at this?
0:39:12 > 0:39:13Yeah, let's go for it.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17- You can only lose £20, that's all it was.- We'll do it.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19You're £10 down, you're going with the bonus buy,
0:39:19 > 0:39:21and let's have a clarion call.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23It's a very simple of an instrument,
0:39:23 > 0:39:27but it's all there and complete and it might play!
0:39:27 > 0:39:28HE ATTEMPTS TO PLAY
0:39:28 > 0:39:30LAUGHTER

0:39:33 > 0:39:37it needs a bit more huff, Karl. Try again. There we are.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39HE ATTEMPTS TO PLAY
0:39:39 > 0:39:42I don't believe it. I've got some interest here.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44I can start...
0:39:44 > 0:39:46at £5,
0:39:46 > 0:39:49I'm asking 6, now. Let's go. 6, I'm bid. Do I see 8, now?
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- 6, I'm bid. I'm out. I am asking 8, come on.- Come on, help us out!
0:39:52 > 0:39:566, I'm bid. Surely 8. 8, online, we're live in Ireland.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57Hello, Ireland!
0:39:57 > 0:40:00I'm sure you can blow it! 8, I'm bid. 10.
0:40:00 > 0:40:0312, in Ireland. Come on, Ireland.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05You'll huff and puff, I'm sure, to bid on this.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- Oh, never. Come on. - Bid me 12.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10- It's over to you, sir, 10. Bid me 12, now.- Yes.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13We're live in Derbyshire. 12, 15.
0:40:13 > 0:40:1618. Man in red, 18?
0:40:16 > 0:40:1818. 20.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21- 25.- Yeah, go on!- Have a go, sir. 5? 30.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- Look at me, I'll take 28.- No, don't.
0:40:26 > 0:40:2925. 8? 30.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31- 32.- Yes!- No more.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35- I'm bid, 30.- This is brilliant. I can't believe it.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39The man in red, £30. Third warning, all done.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Bid me 2, or we sell this, make no mistake, at £30.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Going, going,
0:40:46 > 0:40:48sold to you, sir.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52£30 is plus £10. You had minus £10 before, now you've got nothing.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Absolutely nothing.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58This is the ultimate wiped face after all that.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02- But, listen, chaps, absolutely nothing in this game can be a winning score.- Yeah.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06- You could be victorious today... - We will be, I'm sure of it.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10- ..by having got nowhere. OK. You happy with that?- Yeah.
0:41:10 > 0:41:15Well, you've been very sporting. Say nothing to the Reds and we'll reveal all in a moment.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25Well, well, well, well, well. Who would have thought it?
0:41:25 > 0:41:30Two teams genetically linked by a profession
0:41:30 > 0:41:33and an awful lot of rivalry.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36I think a lot of congratulations to the experts, who have managed
0:41:36 > 0:41:41to score decent scores with their bonus buys. So, well done for that.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45Not much in the way of congratulations elsewhere, I have to say.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49But there is a difference between the teams in that we have a winner and we have a runner-up.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51And the runner-up by...
0:41:51 > 0:41:53a chalk, just happens to be
0:41:53 > 0:41:55the Blues.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58Oh, look at them. Look how happy they are!
0:41:58 > 0:42:03But there's no shame with this, because a wiped face is not a shame, is it?
0:42:03 > 0:42:04No, definitely not.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09You were £10 down, Richard rode into the fore with a £10 profit
0:42:09 > 0:42:12and wiped your face. And you have no profit, no loss.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16- No pain, no gain.- It's a good day. That is what we aimed to do. - Exactly.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20- Equilibrium and normality and balance, Lee, are everything, aren't they?- 100%.
0:42:20 > 0:42:25- And you've done it.- Yeah. And we've got youth, as well. Haven't we? - And youth as well. Exactly.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Keep on rubbing it in!
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- Anyway, seriously. Good fun, yes? - Yes.- It's been great.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35We've loved having you on the show and you've been really good sports about it all.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39But your arch-rivals are going to walk home with £11.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41THEY BOO AND HISS
0:42:41 > 0:42:45- Thank you very much.- So, this is a fortune in terms of Bargain Hunt winnings. Well done.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49You had losses all the way through on absolutely everything
0:42:49 > 0:42:53- until Catherine came along with a £33 profit. Well done, Catherine. - Thank you.- Well done.
