0:00:02 > 0:00:05Hello and welcome to today's show from West Sussex.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07That's right.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10We are here in Ardingly at the sight of England's Showground.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Thanks, Tim.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15And, boy, do we have a cracking show for you today.
0:00:15 > 0:00:16We certainly do, Tim.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20Because we've got two teams of twins going head-to-head.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Well, let's not hang about, eh?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah!
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Boy, you're a handsome devil, aren't you?
0:00:50 > 0:00:54It's double trouble on the show today.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59Identical teams, each with an identical £300 and an hour to shop
0:00:59 > 0:01:00for their three items.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Does that mean that we are in for double the profits then? Ha!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Let's take a sneaky peak as to what is coming up.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13It's all go today as the Reds are put through their paces.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- I think it's that way.- Oh, no. It's the other side, I think.- Other side?
0:01:17 > 0:01:20It's like boot camp in the Blue camp.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Quick!- Keep up!
0:01:22 > 0:01:25What do you mean, "Keep up?" What is this man on?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28£50 I've already got.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31And there is plenty of action down at the auction.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32THEY CHEER
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- 70 I've got.- Yes, come on!
0:01:34 > 0:01:37We can do this, boys. We can do this.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Let's meet the teams.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Gosh, we are going to have fun on the show today.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Two teams of identical twins.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46How rare is that!
0:01:46 > 0:01:49For the Reds, we've got Gemma and Polly.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52And for the Blues, we have a Martin and Russell. Hello, everyone.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53ALL: Hello!
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- Lovely to see you. Now, Gemma. - Yes.- Identical twins.- Yes.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Do you do most things together with Polly?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Yeah, we actually do quite a lot together.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03We are at this same uni.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06We work in the same store part-time together.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09We are also in the same hockey team.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12So, yeah, we spend most of our time together rather than apart.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14What are you studying at university?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- I'm doing chemistry with management. - And what do you hope to do with it?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I'm not really sure at the moment.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I'm thinking about going into environmental science.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Or I could just leave chemistry altogether
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- and move on to finance and that. - Do more of the business side of it?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Yeah, see what comes up, yeah.- You've got plenty of time to choose though.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Yes.- Yeah. So, Polly, is it fun being an identical twin?
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Have you got any stories to tell us?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- It is really quite a lot of fun, isn't it?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40A lot of people get us mixed up,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42even people quite close to us sometimes.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Ex-boyfriends, things like that. - Really?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Yeah.- That's embarrassing. - It has been known to happen, yeah.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- But you always take it quite light-heartedly.- Yeah.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- It's just a bit of fun really. - Yes, of course.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57So how are you going to get on buying with your twin this time?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- We like the same things. We have similar taste, don't we?- Yeah.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02We tend to go for shiny things. We know what the other person likes,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04so hopefully that should save us a bit of time.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- This really is going to be a test then, isn't it?- BOTH:- Yes.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08OK, I hope you enjoy it.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Now, Martin, you are no stranger at
0:03:11 > 0:03:13unearthing a bit of treasure yourself.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- I've found a few things, yeah. Over the years.- Like what?
0:03:16 > 0:03:21A couple of years ago I found a vase for £10, sold that for 4,500.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I beg your pardon?!
0:03:23 > 0:03:28You found a vase for £10... Pray, tell us more about the vase.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Um, it was by an artist called Hans Coper.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Oh, yes.- Um...
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Good, well. Things are bucking up on Bargain Hunt today, aren't they?
0:03:36 > 0:03:37What do you do for a living?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- I'm a graphic designer.- Right. So you have an eye for design?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Yeah, if we saw any nice posters I would probably grab those
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- but I don't think they come up very often.- Well, they do occasionally.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I mean, in a fair like Ardingly they could be anywhere actually.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Russell, what do you do for a living?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- I'm a charity shop manager.- Ah! - HE LAUGHS
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I'm banned from his shop. I can't go in there.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01You haven't been buying these £10 items in the brother's shop?
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- No. It is off-limits, my shop. - Yeah, quite.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07And how long have you done it for, Russ?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11I've been in my current position for two years with my local hospice.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- And you like it, do you?- I love it. I absolutely love it.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15It must be very exciting
0:04:15 > 0:04:17when somebody brings in a great boxful of stuff
0:04:17 > 0:04:20and you have a rummage and find something that's really quite good.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- It's like Christmas. - What sort of things are you going
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- to be going for today? - Big statement pieces hopefully.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27So you are going to spend a lot of money?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29I want to spend money but I think you want to play it safe,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- don't you?- We will see. - Is Russell a bit meaner than you?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- I'm used to spending £10, so... - OK. So you want to go mad?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39It's someone else's money, so, yeah. TIM LAUGHS
0:04:39 > 0:04:40That is very true.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43In fact, I'm going to give you somebody else's money right now.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Lovely. There is the £300.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48There we go. £300. You know the rules.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Your experts await and off you go. Very, very good luck.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57Well, a Bargain Hunt first. Two teams of identical twins. Ho-ho!
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Going into battle for the Reds is Charles Hanson.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Whilst on call for the Blues is Charlie Ross.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17And of course our two tremendous teams of twins need
0:05:17 > 0:05:19two excellent experts.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22- Gemma?- No!
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Identical teams with an identical budget.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Just how different will the outcome be?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I feel as if I'm with experts here.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Well, we know what we like.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- What are we looking for today? - BOTH:- Jewellery.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Yeah.- That's quite spooky.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Your 60 minutes starts now. - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Better get your skates on, team.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Come on.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46You need to get shopping properly.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- There is so much.- Yeah.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Look at the jewellery. - How much is that?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Oh, I love that.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53What a wonderful start. Oh, hello, madam.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55You have some wonderful things.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59The girls have already sniffed out a potential purchase.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01OK, team, what's taking your fancy?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- I quite like this.- Why?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I just think it looks really pretty.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07What is it, Gemma? Have a guess.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Is it a scent bottle?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Absolutely. Look at that.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13What do you think, Gemma?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I quite... I'm Polly.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16I'm sorry, Polly.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Oh, Carlos. I guess twins can be confusing, eh?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23It's decorative. It could be '70s, it could be '80s.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27In that regard, it's just too new to really make a point at auction.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Good handle. Let's leave that for the time being.- Yup.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Good advice, Charles. Onwards.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Meanwhile, how is Roscoe doing?
0:06:34 > 0:06:35What have we got here, boys?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37We've got some Gouda.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38How much is it?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- It's 65.- 65.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42It's quite decorative, isn't it? It's a good size.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45It's a pattern from the Congo. It's a rare pattern.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Yeah?- Yeah.- A rare pattern from the Congo. There we go.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- Congo, yes.- Where are you on the price there?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- I would have said about 25. - Would you?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56To sell at auction.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58So you would buy it but only at a price?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00You want to help pay for the stall? Every little helps.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- It's already been paid for. - THEY LAUGH
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I feel I'm completely superfluous here.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I tell you what, let me give you that.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- All right, chaps.- I think it's still early days.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Where are you off to, Charlie?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Should we keep it in mind?- We'll keep that in mind and come back.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15We could even do 40.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Poor old Charlie. It seems like he might have an easy day today.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Meanwhile, the Reds are still
0:07:20 > 0:07:22on the rummage and remain at the same stall.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Look at that there. Isn't that sweet?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- May we look at that?- Yes. Of course.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Out she comes.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Isn't that gorgeous? - And it's got a hallmark on it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Look at that.- That's really nice.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Why, Polly? What's nice about it?
0:07:34 > 0:07:35I like the little lines on it.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37The detail, yeah.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38It's like a throne, isn't it?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41The nice thing is that it's made by one of the leading Edwardian
0:07:41 > 0:07:46silversmiths. Levi and Solomon. It's fully hallmarked. From Birmingham.
0:07:46 > 0:07:491901. What happened in the year 1901?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Who was crowned King of England?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- No idea.- History. History. - My history is not great.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57THEY LAUGH
0:07:57 > 0:07:58- Edward VII.- OK.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- He was our king. So it's got almost that regal merit...- Yeah.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05..for the coming of age of a new monarch. It's quite nice, isn't it?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- MAN:- It is. The thrones are always... - ALL: Yeah.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I think we will wander and leave you to ponder.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Leaving them to it, eh, Charlie?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Can you get any closer to 30?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Yeah, 30 I think is... I don't want to go more than 30.
0:08:19 > 0:08:2135 I will do.
0:08:21 > 0:08:2234?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24'Action stations...'
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- OK, 34.- Yeah? Thank you.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Are you all right, guys?- 34.- It is. - Are you getting somewhere?
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Yeah. 34.- 34.- You've bought it?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Yeah, we bought it.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36You are absolute legends! I've got the money, guys.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38You've got the expertise. And the knowledge.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40And the negotiating skills.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42And I just run around in the back with the money.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Thank you, my dear. That's really kind of you.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Let me shake you by the hand.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Thank you for looking after my two chums.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Ah, you lot are getting on like a house on fire.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Huh, well done, chaps. One item down, two to go.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- £95.- £95.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- You want to go big. You want to go sparkly.- Yeah, we do.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02You want good objects which are novelty.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- We don't want to pay £95 though. - Rather.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06THEY LAUGH
0:09:06 > 0:09:07What's the best price on that?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- I can do 75 on that one.- Really?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12That's not bad.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I would have said about 65.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15I would've said about 50.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Thanks for coming.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20You know when they say two heads are better than one...
0:09:20 > 0:09:22I like it. So your very best would be?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- £70.- £70.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27That's a good price. Shall we think about it?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Yeah, OK. We will think about it. We might very well be back.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Crikey, team. I thought you were on to a winner there.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Still, early days I suppose.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38How about something like this?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Wh... Is it...?
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Is it Scandinavian?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44The thing is, can you date jade?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47I find jade incredibly difficult to date.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I think that's modern.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Orange jade.- So it's Oriental?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54To me, it almost looked Scandinavian, sort of Viking.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56No, no, no, that's Oriental.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- And that has more chance, in my opinion, as a modern piece...- OK.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- ..of making 10 quid than 50 quid. - Right.- Personally.- OK.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06No, we'll leave that.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Ah, Roscoe, redundancy isn't on the cards just yet then, old bean.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12These boys don't know everything.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Wowee, look at this.- Wow.- Wow!
0:10:15 > 0:10:18This here has everything.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- And where do we start?- That clock. It looks very expensive.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- The clock is lovely.- I really like that clock.- Do you really? Why?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I think... I like the pattern.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29- Yeah.- How much is it?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- We're out, aren't we?- Yes. - We're out of that.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Without even looking at the price,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35I can tell you it's way out of your budget.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Onwards and upwards, eh?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Uh-oh, what have the Blues spotted?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I like this.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- The glass cane?- Yeah.- I've not seen one...a glass one that long.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Well, they're normally damaged, and this isn't.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48This is full.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52The other thing I think about that is it's an old-fashioned antique.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Yes.- Do you know what I mean?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I'm an old-fashioned kind of guy.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Are you? Yes. But at auction, you've got to limit your market.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Who's going to buy this? If it's not you.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03It's a cane collector, that's it.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05And that is it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Hmm, not very practical with not many uses.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Let's hope the Reds are doing a bit better.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12What actually is it?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14I don't know. It's just described
0:11:14 > 0:11:16being a silver handle like that.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Ah.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21And I'm thinking, "Well, we're missing the parasol."
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Can I enquire how much? - BOTH:- Yeah.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25- OK, yeah.- You're not keen, are you?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I'm not keen because half of it is missing.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29- I think we should think about it. - Yes.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Shall we mental note it? - BOTH:- Yes. Mental note.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33OK.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Good on you, girls.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I could see that idea wasn't grabbing you.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Chop chop, those Blues are still ahead of you.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- I love that, actually.- That's actually really nice, isn't it?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45It's made by, you know, a skilled amateur, isn't it?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- Oh, it is damaged.- It might be a... - It's got damage there.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Ah.- To me, it's something like that that is relatively crudely sculpted.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54The damage to me doesn't matter, so...
0:11:54 > 0:11:57No. Well, how much would you pay for it?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- I wouldn't want to pay more than 20 quid for it.- Yeah, 20 quid.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01How much do you think we could make on it?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03You'd make between £30 and £50 on it
0:12:03 > 0:12:06which, in Bargain Hunt terms, is a good deal.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Yeah.- I think we should just do one offer, 20 quid.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- If they don't take it, we walk away.- Yeah.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- There's plenty of time, isn't there? - There's loads of other stuff.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- OK.- We saw that jade and we've seen that.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- So if we've got one last thing to buy and we run out of time...- Yes.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- ..flip a coin.- I like that, yes. - We'll flip a coin.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23- BOTH:- Yes. - Very good, chaps.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26All under control with plenty of time left on the clock.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Let's leave you to it whilst I pop off and go potty.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36Cor, this pot's shiny inside, isn't it? Look at all those reflections.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41That's because the outside film is lustre, and it's a difficult
0:12:41 > 0:12:47and expensive technique that was perfected by the Pilkington factory,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50based just outside Manchester.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54They started their studio art pottery in 1897
0:12:54 > 0:12:58and it ran as a business until 1935.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02The complicated part about the silver resist lustre
0:13:02 > 0:13:07is that it has to be fired just right in the kiln.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11And you can see here at the bottom a cruciform ornament with these
0:13:11 > 0:13:18spiky plant-like structures, all in lustre on the surface of the glaze.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21That style of decoration continues around the outer rim
0:13:21 > 0:13:23where we've got a series of diapers
0:13:23 > 0:13:27each of which are filled with four circular balls.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31The coloured part underneath I particularly like
0:13:31 > 0:13:35because this copies earlier Chinese ceramics.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40Basically, it's a burgundy colour but it's got this dribble to it,
0:13:40 > 0:13:45which is a deliberate effect which is called hare's foot glaze.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47And if I turn it upside down,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49you can see the maker's marks.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Under the surface there is a capital P for Pilkington's,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56which is the mark from 1897 to 1913.
0:13:56 > 0:14:02And around that, in silver resist, is a monogram which reads
0:14:02 > 0:14:05CEC for Charles E Cundall.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10And every Pilkington's decorator signed their piece
0:14:10 > 0:14:12not only with their initials but also with a rebus.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15And his is this rather elegant-looking bird
0:14:15 > 0:14:18wandering on a green ground.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22It's a super wee pot. It's valuable and highly collectable.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23What's it worth?
0:14:23 > 0:14:28Well, today, here at Ardingly, you could buy it for £190.
0:14:28 > 0:14:34What might it make on another day in a specialist sale of studio pottery?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Maybe the top end of 400.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40So, you see, it pays to be potty about pots.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Back to the shop, and with over half their time gone,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47the Blues have bagged their first item.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52But, for the Reds, not a single piece purchased.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Come on, Carlos, time to take charge!
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Maybe these shoe buckles will take the girls' fancy.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- I think they're really nice. - Aren't they?
0:14:59 > 0:15:00What I love about them
0:15:00 > 0:15:03is the fact that I'm hoping they might be 18th century.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05And if you think about the dandy in the 18th century,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08you may have worn these buckles on your shoes.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09I'm going to enquire very quickly.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12They are shoe buckles, aren't they, for a gentleman?
0:15:12 > 0:15:13- SELLER:- I would assume so, yes.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- So you'd have worn them on the top of your shoe?- Yes.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Like that, basically. I mean, look at that.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18REDS CHUCKLE
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Hey, I mean... - They're smart. They suit you.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Hasn't the man got style now?- Yes.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Style is in the genes, Carlos.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27And are these 18th century?
0:15:27 > 0:15:32- I would suggest, because of the box, they may be slightly later.- Yes.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34What's the price? So, £65.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- What would be your best price on these?- I could do those at 50.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- 50...- I'm going to say, madam,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43would you take a chance and do 40?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- I can't do 40.- What about 45?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I can do 48.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- 48? Can we shake your hand at £48? Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- Thank you so much. - Your hands are so cold!
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- THEY LAUGH - Excellent.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Buckle up and knuckle down, you still have two items to go.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Both teams are level pegging and time to check in with the Blues.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07That's nice, isn't it? What's down the side?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- Is it Inuit type of stuff... - Yes.- ..or is it African or...?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Can you enlighten us any more on that? Is that middle African?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- SELLER:- Do you know, I've just bought it from a high school.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18They didn't know what it was,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I don't know what it is, nobody knows what it is.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- I dare say...- Do like it?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Well, you're not likely to find anybody else today showing
0:16:25 > 0:16:27any interest in this at all, are you?
0:16:27 > 0:16:28I just thought I'd chip that in.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Bit cheeky, Charlie.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Let's cut to the chase. One and only.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Yes.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Cost 40, you can have it for 45.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Loving your work.- I'm a chancer.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40I would have said 35 tops.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I think if Karen had come up with a cheeky 20,
0:16:42 > 0:16:43we'd have snapped her hand off.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- Yes, I think we would, but... - 45 is a bit tight.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48- Yes.- Very good.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Come on, teams, you are coming up to 15 minutes left on the clock.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I think this one may come down to the wire.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Does anything here take your fancy?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- I like this one.- Why is that?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- I think it's really pretty.- Yeah, I think it's a really unusual shape.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08- I would say is about 1890-1900s. So late Victorian.- OK.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Perhaps a good Edwardian brooch you'd have on your perhaps lapel.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14And of course on the front, first of all,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17look at these beautiful graduated seed pearls,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20how they just slowly almost blister
0:17:20 > 0:17:25and become bigger as you work around the two or the twin series.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- It just depends on the price. - BOTH:- Yes.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31It depends on what, madam, you are asking for.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Well, I'm asking 120 for it.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- OK.- That's a bit too much of our budget.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Would you possibly go a bit less?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- What about 90?- Oh, don't. - BOTH: 90?
0:17:44 > 0:17:48I think the gamble would work for me if this fine lady could say £85.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Go on, then, 85.- 85? - Are you sure?- Yes.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- It's up to you.- What do you think? - We are running out of time.- Yes.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- I think we should take a gamble.- Yes.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57OK.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- Shall we say going, going...- Gone.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- TIM:- And just like that, the Reds have wrapped up item number two.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06The Blues are now eyeing up their next potential purchase.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Ten minutes left, chaps.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Stone, isn't it? No.- I like that.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Oriental vase with elephant head handles.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21And the handle's been off there. But, ooh, hang on, no, it is bronze.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22I like that a lot.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26What kind of date would you put on that?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- It's so hard, isn't it? - It's early 20th century, isn't it?
0:18:29 > 0:18:30It's not earlier than that, I don't think.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- Wow.- Go for it. 95 quid here. - Yes.- We're running out of time.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- You like it, you half like it. - Yeah.- I quite like it.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- I was going to try and offer him 50 quid for it.- OK, that sounds OK.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- It's got 95, so it's... - It's half the price.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47I'm going to see what I can do. I'll keep it in my hand.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Go on, Charlie, work your magic...
0:18:49 > 0:18:52whilst we get a fraught time check from the Reds.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- We've got five minutes left, Charles.- OK, and what's the plan?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- We want to go and get the throne. - Yes.- Get the throne?
0:18:57 > 0:18:58- BOTH:- Yes.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- It was over here, wasn't it? - BOTH:- Yes.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Yeah, I almost forgot about that little silver throne.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Now all you've got to do is find it.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Now, Ross goes back with the price.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Took a bit of persuading but at a nifty, it's ours. Nifty 50.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- Fantastic.- Yeah, we'll have that.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12- One more done. - I'll do the deal with you.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Nifty 50 and pretty swiftly-swiftly.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Well done, chaps, that's number two for you.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20It looks like the Reds are en route.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21Where was it?
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- Um, I think it was over that way. - Chop chop. Blues, what's your plan?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Guys, we're going to run out of time and you won't buy anything at all.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Yes.- There's no point in doing that. Let's run over.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Can you remember where that thing was?- Yes.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Oh, dear, I have a bad feeling about this.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Follow me. - I want the terracotta one.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Which one... You can have the choice.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Where are you going, Charlie?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- Wrong way!- That building there?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- I don't think you can get through that way, Charlie.- Hurry up, chaps.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- I think it's down there. - Oh, no, it's the other side.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48You're heading the wrong way as well.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- We've got to get there, madam! - Tick-tock, teams.- Four minutes.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Come on!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Keep up?! What do you mean, keep up? - Come on, old boy, on the double.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- We're back, sir.- Whew! Well done, Reds, you made it.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02We'll get there and someone has bought it.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09I think for £70, it's worth the money.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- Yes.- Yes. - Reckon there is a profit in it?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- Oh, I hope so.- Good.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Where was it?- This one, here.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Oh, God, you've got a sense of direction. It's still there!
0:20:19 > 0:20:21It's still there.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- And for the last time, are we going, going...- Gone.- Yes.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Shall we take it? - BOTH:- Yes.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27- We'll take it, sir.- Thank you.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Shake his hand.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31All three items in the bag and just in the nick of time.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Thanks, sir. - You said £30.- Yes.- Can we go to 25?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Love it, Blues. They've still got time to have a haggle.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38One minute left.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41- 25.- 25?- 25 quid?!
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Fantastic. Sold, sold!
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Sold! - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Time's up. And someone needs to get poor old Roscoe a chair.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51- BREATHLESSLY:- 25. - We're done.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- You're a gentleman, sir.- You've earned your stripes today, sir.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56That was exhausting.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Let's sit down and remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05First up they had a chuckle over the buckles. £48 paid.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Next, the brooch set them back £85.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15And finally they settled on the miniature throne for £70.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19So tell me, Pol, which is your favourite piece?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Probably the silver throne.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- The silver throne?- Yes.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25It was really decorative especially with the lines at the front.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Yes, great. And do you agree with that?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Yeah, I like that too, but I also like the brooch we bought.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32OK. So that might be your personal favourite then?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- Yeah, yeah.- OK. And is your brooch going to bring the biggest profit?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- No...- It's a bit of a gamble on the brooch, I think.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- I think the throne might...- Yeah. - ..bring the biggest profit.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- Possibly that, yeah.- All right, fine. How much did you spend?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44We spent £203.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48£203 is a splendid amount. Lovely.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Can I have £97 of leftover lolly, please?- Yes. That's the notes.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- So you've had a great day, haven't you, Charles?- Great day, Tim. Yeah.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- And I want to buy something with glamour...- Yes.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Something with blonde?- ..which might sparkle and impress the two.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- All right. And something profitable hopefully too.- Indeed.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Very good fun.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Now, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:22:07 > 0:22:11First up, the Gouda pottery vase set them back £34.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Yet another vase was next on the menu.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20The Chinese brass variety cost them £50.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24And finally, the terracotta warrior was purchased for £25.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Well, chaps, are you absolutely exhausted?
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Yes, just a bit.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I mean, all that running about has made the entire audience tired.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Which is your favourite piece?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- We liked the head, didn't we? - We do like the head.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- You've agreed on that? - BOTH:- Yes.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40And is the terracotta head going to bring the biggest profit?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Hmm, no.- No.- No, what is? - The bronze vase?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45The bronze vase, we think, speculative.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- And you spent how much?- 109. - Is that all?- Yes, I know.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52£109... I'd like £191, please, of leftover lolly,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- which is a small fortune. - There you go.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57You can buy most of the stalls here for £191.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- Straight over to you, then, Carlos. - Marvellous.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02You love converting this into a profitable profit, don't you?
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Yes, yes. I'm going to buy a pacemaker.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07With some batteries in it, hopefully.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Anyway, good luck with that,
0:23:09 > 0:23:13because we are about to set off a pace for the auction.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27I cannot describe what fun it's been to go from Sussex north
0:23:27 > 0:23:32to Surrey to find myself here at Catherine Southon's saleroom.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Which is precisely where, Catherine?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37We are near Selsdon.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Now, for the Reds, they've got a nice mixture,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41and we kick off with these buckles.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42I love the buckles.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45I mean, they're maybe 18th century, late 18th century.
0:23:45 > 0:23:51- So a fashion accessory from a time of the real dandies.- Hmm.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53What's it worth as a set-up, do you think?
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Well, they're unusual. I'm going to put 40-60.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- OK. £48 paid, so that's fair enough. - Yeah.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Now, we come to a lovely little bit of jewellery.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- The crescent double row of pearl... - Beautiful.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09..brooch. And it's got that little star in it.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10Exactly that.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13And what is so nice about it is we've got the double crescent.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14I really love it.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16I think that's a really nice brooch.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- The team only paid £85 for that. Can you believe it?- No.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I don't believe that one bit.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- I think they got... - I promise you.- They got a bargain.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Yeah, well, you're telling me a bargain.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- What's your estimate? - Very, very good. Very good buy.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32£100-£150. I like that a lot.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- Might the brooch make 200? Might it? - I really hope so.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38That's very encouraging. So it's going to be exciting for us.
0:24:38 > 0:24:44- And lastly we've got the Westminster Abbey replica silver chair.- Of...
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Exactly. Of King Edward's throne. I see quite a lot of these.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50These do pop up at auction but people like them.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53It's a nice piece, £60-£80.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Good. £60-£80. Thank you, Catherine.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56£70 paid.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58They shouldn't need their bonus buy but let's go
0:24:58 > 0:25:00and have a look at it anyway.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05Now, Gemma, Polly, you've spent 203, which is a magnificent
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- amount of money. I'm so proud of you.- Yeah.- £97 went to Charles.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Charles, what did you spend it on?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Well, they say small is beautiful.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15And if you were a pretty woman walking down that
0:25:15 > 0:25:19maybe suburban street in the 1830s, you may have had this
0:25:19 > 0:25:24on you to keep your nose away from those pungent smells of the day.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Oh!
0:25:27 > 0:25:29It's really small.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Thank you.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- It's what we call a vinaigrette.- OK.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- It's quite a sweet object for a lady.- Is it silver?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Absolutely, it's silver and gilded, hallmarked for Birmingham.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41So how much did you spend on it?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- I paid £50 for it.- And do you think it's going to make a profit?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Yes, I do, because if it was in good condition, it might,
0:25:47 > 0:25:51at the antique fair, have cost more like 110, 120.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56So I think for £50, it is a good, hopefully inspired, buy.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57- OK, cool.- Brilliant.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Well, whether you pin your hopes on it or not, girls...
0:26:00 > 0:26:01CHARLES CHUCKLES
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- ..will depend on how your first three items go, right?- Yes.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06But for the audience at home, let's find out
0:26:06 > 0:26:10what Catherine Southon thinks about Charles' vinaigrette.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Well, there you go. A little period piece. It's sweet.- Right.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19As vinaigrettes go, I've seen a lot better. It's OK.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21I mean, it's been through the wars a bit.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23It's a little bit dented
0:26:23 > 0:26:26and the pin is missing here for the grill that you lift it up.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30- So it is OK.- OK. So, as a starter level vinaigrette, what is it worth?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- £40-60.- OK, £50 paid by Charles. - That's fine.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35He hasn't overpaid and, quite frankly,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37it will probably make its money.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- I hope so.- Good. That's it for the Reds.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Now, for the Blues, it is something completely different. The Gouda.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I call it "Gooda", do you call it "Gouda"?
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- "Gooda", Gouda, it's one of those. - "Neether", neither.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51"Neether", neither. Absolutely. I'm going to say "Gouda".
0:26:51 > 0:26:53I'm going to say "Gooda". I like the cheese.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I have to say, I'm never terribly partial to this Dutch pottery.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59But over to you, really.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- Can I be perfectly frank? - Of course you can.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- I find it really garish. - Do you?- Yeah, I'm...
0:27:04 > 0:27:07I'm not a big fan of it, to be honest with you.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10This is sort of in a pattern that I'm not familiar with
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- and I don't particularly like it. - No.- It's rather dark, isn't it?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Well, it's the Congola pattern. That's the name of it.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17That's what's written underneath as well.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20People like this, I suppose, as tourist ware.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Coming back from Holland. - It's quite good condition.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- It is in good condition. - It's quite chunky.- It is.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- Personally, it just doesn't rock my boat.- So, how much?
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- £15-20.- Fair enough. They paid £34.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Now, moving on rather more positively to the bronze.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- It's very elegant, isn't it?- Isn't it?- And the colours are wonderful.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- Hm.- I particularly like these stylised elephant handles.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50What about that cast cockerel in the collar? That's fun, isn't it?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52It's really nice quality as well.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- A good piece, a good attractive piece with lovely colouring.- Yeah.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- So, how much?- I quite fancy that. I think that could do £100.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Yeah, could do. They only paid £50 actually.- Yeah, they did well.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Brilliant.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Now, old sad face over there, he does not look terribly well.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08LAUGHING: He doesn't.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13What do you think? Balinese or somewhere in that bit of the East?
0:28:13 > 0:28:16I like your idea of Balinese. That's what I'm going for.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- His ear is gone.- Hm.- That's probably why he looks so sad, actually.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Well, if you lost half an ear, you would yourself,
0:28:22 > 0:28:23wouldn't you, really?
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- He's been out in the garden too. - He's been out in the garden.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28He's quite weathered. Yeah, he looks all right.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Well, I can reveal the team didn't pay very much. They only paid £25.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34- I'm rather relieved to hear that, Tim.- Good.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36What is your estimate?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Well, I put £50-80 on, which is a lot more than they've bought,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41but I think we've put a bit too much.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44So you will be relieved it's only £25 is the threshold you have
0:28:44 > 0:28:48- to achieve.- Yes. I think otherwise we might be a bit stuck.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52OK. Well, if it all goes belly-up, they've always got the bonus buy
0:28:52 > 0:28:54to fall back on, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Now, chaps, this is exciting. You spent £109, not a heck of a lot.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04You gave £181 to Charlie Ross. Charlie, what did you buy?
0:29:04 > 0:29:08I kept walking past this object where we were
0:29:08 > 0:29:14and every time I walked past it, it just said to me, "Buy me!"
0:29:14 > 0:29:17And I have to confess - I don't know a great deal about it.
0:29:17 > 0:29:23I bought it purely on the look. And here it is. I think it is pre-1900.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Is it North American? Is it South American?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28I don't know, is the answer to that.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32It's a hugely pleasurable and unusual look to it.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34But I bought it on price. I paid £44 for it.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39I would like to see that make £70 or £80. I really would.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- So, it was £44?- £44. Odd figure.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- It's got some scrap value, hasn't it? - Oh, don't be like that.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Scrap value! What help have we got?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Anyway, do you quite like it?
0:29:49 > 0:29:53I like it. I don't think it's going to lose money.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- It's just whether it will make loads. I like the shape.- OK.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Great. We have a pot consensus here.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02You don't decide now, you decide later.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04But right now for the audience at home, let's find out what the
0:30:04 > 0:30:07auctioneeress thinks about Charlie's pick.
0:30:10 > 0:30:11Well, look at that.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15Have you ever seen a jardiniere that's quite as queer as that one?
0:30:15 > 0:30:16Never.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18And I can see exactly why he bought that.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21I think that's really attractive and I think that would grace any
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- hallway with a beautiful plant in and it would look superb.- Yeah.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29I love this sort of Aztec influence here and this Greek key
0:30:29 > 0:30:31design around it. But it's...
0:30:31 > 0:30:33And don't you think Charlie's been clever finding it?
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Yeah, I really do. I really do.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Yeah, I really like that. I would happily take that home myself.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40Exactly.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Anyway, so there we have it. It's the Blue's bonus buy
0:30:43 > 0:30:44and good old Charlie Ross.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46What do you think it is worth, Catherine?
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- £50-80.- Do you?- Yeah, why not? - The cunning fox.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55He only paid £44, which is brilliant, isn't it?
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Very good. Very good.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59If the team decided to go with it, which we will find out
0:30:59 > 0:31:00when you've done the necessary.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Now, naturally, this is your saleroom
0:31:03 > 0:31:05- and you will be taking the sale today.- I will.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07We are in safe hands.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20Right then, girls. What is your expectation from today?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- We're fairly confident, aren't we? - Yeah, we are quite hopeful.- OK.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Prediction of the amount of cash you're going to go home with?
0:31:26 > 0:31:29We think either a small profit or a small loss.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- We don't think it will be...- You think it's going to be massive?- No.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36Right. First up are the buckles and case and here they come.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40We have a pair of late 18th-century cut steel and leather
0:31:40 > 0:31:42shoe buckles in a later case.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45I'm looking for £40.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50- Who is going to give me £40?- They are really good.- Come on, £40.- Oh, no.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- They're really good things.- £40 is bid. £40.- We need more than that.
0:31:53 > 0:31:58- Come on.- Any more at 40? I would like 45.- Come on.- £40.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- They're really good things. - Nice leather buckles.- 18th century.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- £40. Any more?- Oh, come on.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- I'm disappointed. £40 and I'm selling.- Oh, no.
0:32:09 > 0:32:15- Thinking about it. 45. - 50, go on.- 50.- Yes!
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- 50. £50 is bid.- Good for Catherine.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- Take a bow, Catherine. - Thank you, Catherine.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24£50. £50, any more?
0:32:24 > 0:32:27I'm going to sell. They are yours at 50.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Whoo!
0:32:29 > 0:32:33- That's £2. That's good. - We're going to be excited at £2.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37It's a profit on the first lot. That's the most important.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38Stand by for your brooch.
0:32:38 > 0:32:43Lot 107 is a Victorian graduated seed pearl diamond
0:32:43 > 0:32:46and gold-coloured metal crescent brooch.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49And I have £100 already. £100.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- Straight into the profit. - £100.- It's gorgeous.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57£100, 100. Any more at 100? Come on, ladies.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Thank you. 110. 120. 125.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03I have 130. 140?
0:33:03 > 0:33:05140. Why not?
0:33:05 > 0:33:10- £140. £140.- Charles, you are a brilliant man.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11£140, then.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16- Any more at 140?- Come on. - It's yours. 140. 174.
0:33:16 > 0:33:21How good is that. It's £55 of profit.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- Plus the two before means you are 57, plus £57.- Brilliant.
0:33:25 > 0:33:30Now, let us pray that this chair does the business. Here we go.
0:33:30 > 0:33:36Lot 108 is a novelty miniature silver Edwardian coronation throne,
0:33:36 > 0:33:39replica of the King Edward's throne from Westminster Abbey.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44£50, please. £50 I would like. Who's bid? £50, thank you. £50. £50.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48Gentleman seated at 50. 5. 60.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55- 5. 70.- Broken even.- Yes. Come on, one more. 5. Yay!- 80.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- £80, 90.- This is an achievement, girls. 5.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04- But she's not stopped.- £90 I have.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08One more. Can we have £95 against you, internet? It's in the room.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13- Click your mouse!- At £95, against you net. £95. They're thinking.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18- 95, where are we? Thank you. 100. 110.- Yes!
0:34:19 > 0:34:22110. Any more at 110? You've gone quiet at the back.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24110. Are you sure?
0:34:24 > 0:34:30Don't hide from me. 110. £110. Any more at 110? It's yours.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- £110, all done. Thank you. - Nice. Superb.
0:34:34 > 0:34:40That's another £40 which means, overall, girls, you are plus £97.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- We are in business! We are in business.- You are in business.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Now what are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:34:45 > 0:34:46Charles, what do you think?
0:34:46 > 0:34:49- You can't ask him. - I want to ask him.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- I think 50 is quite a good price for it.- We're going to go for it.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- Are you going to do it? - Oh, ladies.
0:34:54 > 0:35:00They have worked it out, Charles. And here the jolly old thing comes.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Lot 112. We have a Georgian silver vinaigrette. We are on.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07And I have bids. I have 35, 40.
0:35:07 > 0:35:1245. With me at £45. With me at 45.
0:35:12 > 0:35:1550 now. I'm out £50.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19- £50, surely. £50. Any more at 50? - Come on, it's worth that.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22£50 I've already got. It's in the room at £50.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25£50. You're thinking internet. 5.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27No? Thank you anyway.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31- £60 on the net.- £60. - £60, any more at 60?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33£60 then. All done.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- Thank you for your faith. - Selling at 60.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- BOTH:- Yes!- Plus 10. Plus 10.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43That means you've broken the ton. But it's plus 107.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- Oh, yes!- BOTH:- Thank you, Charles. - It's been a pleasure. Thank you.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48Thank you so much. Give me a hug.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51That is a good performance, isn't it?
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Now, the big thing is, don't tell the Blues.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01Well, Tino and Russ-Russ.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Um, Gouda, yes? Jolly nice cheese.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08What would you like to see it make?
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Seriously, in your experience with this...
0:36:11 > 0:36:13£34. THEY LAUGH
0:36:13 > 0:36:18- He supports you, your bro, doesn't he?- I don't know, maybe 50.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Maybe 50.
0:36:19 > 0:36:24Anyway, Gooda, Gouda, first lot up and here it comes, Russ.
0:36:24 > 0:36:31Lot 125 is a 1950s Gouda Congola pattern pottery vase.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35I would like for this £20, please. £20.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40Come on, £20. We all want this for £20. £20, I know you do.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44Come on, ladies and gentlemen, £20, don't let me down. £20.

0:42:37 > 0:42:41And, because you got a profit on your three items,
0:42:41 > 0:42:45- you can become Golden Gavellers. How about that?- Wow, Tim.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49Charles, your suit is getting like an air tech's vest
