0:00:05 > 0:00:08Today Bargain Hunt has headed east,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11to The East of England showground in Peterborough.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13But will today's programme be full of eastern promise?
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Ha! Let's find out.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Let's go bargain hunting. Yeah.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47As all you lovely Bargain Hunters know,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Peterborough plays host
0:00:49 > 0:00:52to one of the largest antique fairs in the land.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56It's said that there's something here for every collector's taste,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59so our teams should have no difficulty
0:00:59 > 0:01:01in picking up a bargain, eh?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Let's have a look at what's coming up. Oh, yes.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07'On today's show. In the Red Corner
0:01:07 > 0:01:09'there's plenty of punches being thrown.'
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Thomas, can you come here, please? Now.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17'And it's a knockout for the Blues.'
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- GLASS VIBRATING It's perfect.- Ding.- Ding-dong.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24'But who will take the heavyweight title at auction?'
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- Go, Rich.- Go on, Richard.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28You're in profit.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Look at that!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31'Let's meet the teams.'
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Well, we've got two teams of friends on the show today.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38For the Reds we have Laura and Shirley,
0:01:38 > 0:01:41and for the Blues we have Lisa and Patrick.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42- Hello, everyone.- Hello.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Smashing to see you.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Now, Laura, is it true that you two met because of work?
0:01:47 > 0:01:51It is, I'm afraid, because I'm an accountant, and a friend
0:01:51 > 0:01:54referred Shirley to me and we got talking and haven't stopped.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55And we haven't stopped.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Oh, fantastic. So it was a professional encounter?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- It was indeed, yes.- What were you doing for her?- Just tax returns.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Was it?- Yes.- Yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05And what's a good bit about it?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Meeting new people, going out, talking a lot.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Just basically what I'm best at doing.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14And what do you like to get up to in your spare time?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Well, we currently have a boat, which was inspired by Shirley.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I saw hers and said, "I want one."
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- So I got one. - And what sort of boat is it?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- It's a narrow boat.- Oh, lovely. So you do a lot of canalling?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Well, no, because it's a project at the moment, so it still needs
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- to be refurbished and then we shall be doing a lot of canalling.- Right.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Now, Shirley, you've had a change in career.- I have, yeah.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37What did you go to, from?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I used to be a fraud investigator, financial fraud investigator.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42And I'm now a registered childminder
0:02:42 > 0:02:44and I have been for quite a few years.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- That is quite a shift, isn't it? Crikey.- Not at all connected.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Not at all. I can't think of a connection.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51So tell us about your travels in your narrow boat.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Well, we've travelled, I think
0:02:53 > 0:02:55the furthest is probably up to Shropshire.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58We did that back in the summer. Mostly weekends for me, at the moment.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01But I do hope to move on to the boat and cruise the country continuously.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- You're going to live on it? - Yeah, absolutely.- Are you really?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Absolutely. It's beautiful.- Great.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Welcome, girls, and good luck with everything.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Now, Lisa, how do you and Patrick get to know each other?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Well, we met each other at pantomime at our local amateur dramatics group.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Oh, no, you didn't. - Oh, yes, we did.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Is that something you do a lot?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Yes, we do a pantomime each year
0:03:21 > 0:03:23and then we do two plays a year as well.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Any particular ones that stick out?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28The last time I was The Good Fairy.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30You're frightfully keen on the forehand and the backhand
0:03:30 > 0:03:32and running to the net.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Oh, yes, I do play tennis.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I play for two clubs in Nottingham.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Fiendishly, I'm told.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43Well, I've got a mean backhand, sometimes. On and off the court.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- Now, Patrick, it says here you're a retired teacher.- Indeed.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- What did you teach?- I taught psychology at A-level.- Ah.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51You'll be well suited for today's competition then, won't you?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Hopefully, yes.- Will you be eyeballing the dealers and driving them down?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I'll try. I'll really try hard.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Suggest they lie down and have a little rest and all of that.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Do you collect at all?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I don't actually collect anything, but I do go to auctions.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09I'm usually looking for props because, as Lisa said, we are
0:04:09 > 0:04:11both part of an amateur dramatics group,
0:04:11 > 0:04:15so I go to the auctions to see if I can find anything that would fit.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Original, nice objects to dress up your sets?- Absolutely.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21What are your tactics going to be today, team?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Oh, we're looking for something that's useful
0:04:23 > 0:04:25and also beautiful, really,
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- that's got a use in the home.- Yes.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Here comes the £300 moment for the accountant to count
0:04:31 > 0:04:35and for the am-drams to dramatise.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Anyway, you know the rules, your experts await, and off you go.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Cor, I say.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Time to meet today's experts.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Bringing out the big guns for the Reds, it's Thomas Plant.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55And counting on success for the Blues, it's Christina Trevanion.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59What are we going to be looking for?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01For me, I think I do like quite small things,
0:05:01 > 0:05:05something that attracts the eye, and I'm also very keen on jewellery.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07You guys have got a great plan. Fill me in.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10We were in a pantomime and we played different characters,
0:05:10 > 0:05:11- so we've got some code words.- OK.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15So if we like something then we say it's going to be ding-dong bell - sells well.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Ding-dong bell - sells well.- What about you, Laura?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Well, for me, it's more about what I don't like.- Right.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24So I really don't like anything animal-based.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26No taxidermy.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Oh, no taxidermy. Definitely not.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31And if we don't like it, it's going to be king,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33because it's king rat - tat.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34King rat - tat.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Right, teams. Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38And good luck.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Let's go bargain hunting.- BOTH: Yay!
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- Right, well, let's hope we get lots of ding-dong.- It would be nice.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48It's game on, and the Reds have found one already.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Is that for playing cards? - For playing cards, yeah.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56That is a lot of money - it's £265.
0:05:56 > 0:06:03But it's an example of the sort of thing that I want you to go for.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07There's no monkeying around with the Blues.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Lisa has spotted something.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Little chair.- Are you all right there?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Yeah, I wasn't looking at the monkey, I was looking at the chair.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- That's quite sweet, isn't it?- A children's chair, sweet.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- No, no, it's...- Hmmm, bit king.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- Bit king, he's started already. - King, king. Hang on a minute.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27King rat - tat.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Forget about the king, I think we have some bossy queens here.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Thomas, can you come here, please? Now.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36I quite like that.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Why do you like it? - I just think it looks nice.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I can see Mint Imperials in there.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Do you know what I mean?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- I love a Mint Imperial.- Exactly.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48What are you lacking in your life?
0:06:48 > 0:06:52A Mint Imperial dish, and there it is.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57- To have and have on the side of your occasional table.- Absolutely.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59A few boiled sweets, Mint Imperials.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Just to freshen one's breath.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I agree, Thomas. Mmm, minty fresh.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Anyway, where do you think it's from?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- Here.- It's kind of Moroccanish in flavour.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11OK, it is from this section of the table, but you're right.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14It's sort of Middle Eastern looking.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- Oh, is it?- It's probably Edwardian.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Oh, really?- Oh, gosh. - Oh, it's growing on me.- Yeah, me too.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- As a dish on its own, it's rather lovely.- Yes, it's very pretty.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25It's pretty. I like your idea of Mint Imperials.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Go and have a conversation, and Phyllis and I
0:07:28 > 0:07:30will turn our backs and watch.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- OK.- Stand aside.- Stand aside and let you get on with it.- Go, Laura!
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- The asking price is £38. - Would you take £25 for it?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Let me have a look. The best I could do would be 32.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Oh, I don't think we can go into the thirties.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- I'll think about that one and come back.- How are you?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- How are you getting on? - 32 is as low as he'll go.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49What do you think about it in auction, though?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- To be totally honest, one would struggle.- OK.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55No, I agree, I agree. So we'll have that as a reserve, maybe?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- A reserve.- Off you go.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Lovely. - Good idea, Reds. Keep looking.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03In the meantime, peppered amongst various silver items,
0:08:03 > 0:08:08the seasoned expert Christina has spotted something that might
0:08:08 > 0:08:11be worth shelling out on - a pair of salt cellars.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I think they're silver-plated, but I've got a pair of them.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16They're really quite nicely cast.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- What is the price?- Yeah. - OK, let's have an ask, shall we?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21What have you got on your...?
0:08:21 > 0:08:2515 for the two? So it's £15 for the two, guys.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I just think they're really quite nicely moulded.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30They are quite late, but they are really beautifully cut and if you
0:08:30 > 0:08:33look how naturalistic that is, they are almost cast from a real shell.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- What would you use them for? - For salts and for salads.- Yeah, yeah.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- I quite like them, actually.- Do you?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- I do quite like them.- I think they're quite sweet.- I said to you, you can
0:08:41 > 0:08:43make a choice. So is that going to be yours?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45We're not under any time pressure, so don't feel like
0:08:45 > 0:08:47you're under the kibosh, but it might be that we ask him
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- what his minimum price would be. - OK. That's good.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Then maybe bear it in mind.- Shall we do that?- Do you want to try?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Yep.- Are you going to do our bargaining?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Yeah, he's going to do his. I'll do mine.- I can try it.- Right.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58SHE LAUGHS I'll give it a whirl.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Do you think this is going to be our first ding-dong?- It might be.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Do you think it might be?- Yes. I think he'll be chuffed with that.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04What's your best price on these?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- The best we can do it for is 12.- 10?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Deal.- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Ding-dong!- Ding-dong, baby! - LAUGHTER
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Well done, Patrick! That's fantastic.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- How much did we buy them for? 10. - £10? Yeah.- Well done, that's great.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- First one.- Good work. Gosh, this is going to be a breeze!
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- Thank you!- Thank you.- Thanks ever so much.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23BELL RINGS
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- MUSIC: ROCKY THEME - Round one in the bag.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Two salt shells for £10, bought within eight minutes.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31These guys have a taste for bargaining.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Still searching for their first item,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37the Reds are finding it difficult to convince their expert.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42We noticed this rather unpleasant red dish.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44But then! But then, Thomas,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- we saw this Clarice Cliff.- How about this?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Your candour knows no bounds. - And we both loved it.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I really like the colours.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55It's not a pattern I've seen before.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Isn't that...?- Which is why I'm attracted to it, Thomas,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00actually, just from personal preference.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I would be...
0:10:02 > 0:10:05concerned, because I think it's a huge investment, but I think
0:10:05 > 0:10:09if you present it in a monthly sale, you might find yourself unstuck.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- You're very good at talking us out of things, but...- Well, no.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- I don't mean to talk you out of it.- I know, I know, I know.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- But I just don't want you to... - But I take your point.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18But I like the fact that you're spotting things
0:10:18 > 0:10:22and I feel terrible that I keep on saying no or yes or maybe.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- OK.- So let's carry on, I reckon. - Keep looking.- Yeah?- OK.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Keep spotting them, girls.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Christina, in the meanwhile, is going for the grand slam.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Got to get you a tennis racket, haven't we?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- No!- Come on! Bat it back at me, baby.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- I don't think so.- I'm not entirely sure there'll be much tennis
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- played with that, look.- I think it's seen better days.- Yeah.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- I think you might be right, sadly.- Definitely.- Aw!
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Game, set, and match for the Blues?
0:10:44 > 0:10:48Well, maybe not. Meanwhile, Thomas is trying to get cosy with the Reds.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51What about a piece of folk art,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54as in these wonderful Welsh blankets?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Oh!- These...- Now, I love these.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- I knew you were going to say that!- I love the textiles, the colours.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Knew you were going to say that!- The patterns.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- The textiles, the craftwork, the workmanship.- It goes very well
0:11:04 > 0:11:06with your jacket. Will it make a profit?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Well, it all depends what you buy them for.- Yes.- Obviously, yeah.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10You've got it, girl.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12So this one here is 135.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13- LAURA GASPS - Gosh! OK.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- That puts it into a different... - Yep.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- ..realm.- I, I... Do you know what?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- I don't want to go near it. - Fair enough.- Sorry.- No.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- I thought you were going to say 30 quid.- No, no, no.- OK.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- No, they are...- Those are handmade. - I know, I know.- They're handmade.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- The quality.- Good quality.- But we've got to sell it at auction, you see.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31We need to make a profit! THOMAS LAUGHS
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I have to agree with you there,
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- even though it's very desirable to me.- Right.- It is.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38No beating about the bush with these girls.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41They know what they want or, rather, don't want.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45The Blues, however, can be persuaded with a promise of a bottle or two.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Guys, what do you think about that?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50It's...presumably an ice bucket?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- For very large gin and tonics?- Yes.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:11:53 > 0:11:55My size.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57My kind of boy.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58It's a coopered jardiniere,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01so it would have had a plant in it, originally.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Made out of oak and, obviously,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05this lovely coopered banding here. What do you think?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- How old do you think it would be?- I think it's probably 1920s, 1930s.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- I actually like this.- However...
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Do you like it?- I actually like this, yeah.- She likes it!
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- However...- She likes it!- Ding-dong! - THEY LAUGH
0:12:16 > 0:12:18There is a bit of a problem, with the banding. Erm...
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Do you have... Yes, issues, but I don't think that is...
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- That's not beyond fixable. - PATRICK SIGHS
0:12:24 > 0:12:27OK. But it would really depend on price.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- It would really depend on price. - In auction...
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I'd be thinking more 60.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- 60?- Do you think?- Hm.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- I was thinking £20, £30.- Really? Oh, right, OK.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- How much is it?- I've got 35 on it. - Oh, right.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43- I'll let it go for 30.- And that's...
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- It's got a Lister hallmark on the bottom as well.- Oh, nice!
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- A what Hallmark? - BOTH:- Lister stamp.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Oh, right, OK.- The maker. So it's a decent make.- That's good.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55It's just, we're just a bit concerned about the...
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Some of the stays are a bit loose.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- I could do 28.- Ooh! Are you ding dong or...?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Erm, it is quite ding-dong, yeah.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Let's go for it, then.- Come on, then.- Are you going to do it?
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Yep. We'll go for it. Be decisive and we'll go for it.- Yeah?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- Go on, then. I'll blame him. - LAUGHTER
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Blame him, yeah!
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Ha! I like your style, Lisa.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15BELL RINGS
0:13:15 > 0:13:18So the Blues rang the bell at 23 minutes
0:13:18 > 0:13:21and bought this jardiniere for £28.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22But how are the Reds going?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24No buys as of yet,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27but for £45, something shiny has caught their eye.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31I saw these silver things. They're not really to my taste,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34but I know Shirley likes unique items and I thought she may like them.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- So, just to clarify, it's not those in the case.- No.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- It's just these here. - It's the Chinese, yep.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- And they're £45, which I think is rather reasonable, really.- Yes.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- They're marked sterling, which means sterling silver.- Silver, yep.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48And made in HK.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- Hong Kong.- Hong Kong.- OK.- OK.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51What these would have been is,
0:13:51 > 0:13:55obviously, when we had Hong Kong as a member
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- of the British Empire, Commonwealth...- Empire, yep.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01..and we would come in with our own ideas
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- of the way we wanted things made. - Yep. Yep.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05But, of course, local craftsmen would make things
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- to their own taste.- Oh, OK.- So we've got traditional English spoons,
0:14:08 > 0:14:11but with Chinese takes on them, with the simulated bamboo
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- and the stylised...- Is that what that is? Simulated bamboo?
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- Simulated bamboo and then there's... - It's quite unusual.- They're growing!
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- We associate the...- Yeah.- Are they growing on you?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- They're growing on me.- With these characters.- Yeah.- This fusion.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- The fusion.- Fusion of East and West. - Like food.- Yes.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Fusion food, fusion antiques. Perfect.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Absolutely, and these are 1930s.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32So shall we negotiate a bit of a discount?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- I think, as you spotted them... - Potential profit at an auction.- OK.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- ..Laura, you're...- Go, Laura, chief negotiator.- I'll have a go.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40So could you let me know what your best price on these ones are?
0:14:40 > 0:14:4238.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46To be honest, if you could give them for 35, I'd be really happy.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- OK, yep.- Yes, really? Oh, super. - Oh, that's fantastic.- Thank you.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- That's a sale.- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.- Is that it?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- You bought them?- Yeah. We bought them.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Our first buy.- Our first item, yeah. - That's brilliant.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59The chief said yes. At last, they're all in agreement.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03And these silver Chinese spoons are theirs for £35.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Still over half an hour to go to shop for two more buys.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09But in the meanwhile, fancy a flutter?
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Imagine the scene.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16You've got one of these, you're here in Peterborough today
0:15:16 > 0:15:18and you want to have a bit of fun.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21OK. £10 to spend.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22What might I find?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24RATTLING
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Try one of these.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28What is it?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30A rusty tin? True.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31A rusty tin that, perhaps,
0:15:31 > 0:15:35once held throat pastilles in 1925?
0:15:37 > 0:15:38OK. But what's inside?
0:15:40 > 0:15:44We have 32 of these little jokers,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47which are made of porcelain. What are they?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Well, the colour slightly gives it away - pale blue.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Some would say eggshell blue.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57And the shape, of course, looks like little eggs.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Actually...
0:15:59 > 0:16:01they're dummy birds eggs.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05And if you were a canary or budgerigar breeder,
0:16:05 > 0:16:09and you wanted to encourage your females to lay a few eggs,
0:16:09 > 0:16:13you'd bung a few of these dummies in the bottom of their nests
0:16:13 > 0:16:16and, hey presto! They get a bit broody
0:16:16 > 0:16:18and start laying the real thing.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Weird or what?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24And those 32 eggs
0:16:24 > 0:16:27would cost you a £5 note.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29And what might they be worth?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I guess...one EGG of a lot!
0:16:32 > 0:16:33And that's no YOLK.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34HE CHUCKLES
0:16:34 > 0:16:37So what about the other £5 note?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Well, you could do a lot worse
0:16:40 > 0:16:43than acquire, perhaps, this.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45He looks as if he's standing by the seaside.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49He's not. He's standing in a photographer's studio.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52That background, with the breaking waves,
0:16:52 > 0:16:55is not actually the foreshore of Blackpool.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56And the rocks?
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Probably made of papier mache.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05Produced by Mr Gregson of Talbot Road, Blackpool.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Who is he?
0:17:06 > 0:17:10The secret, of course is what's strapped to his arm.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15His arm strap says Special Constable 192.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Quite why this special constable
0:17:19 > 0:17:23felt he had to pose in the Blackpool photographer's
0:17:23 > 0:17:26in this very shiny outfit, with his truncheon,
0:17:26 > 0:17:31I haven't got the faintest idea, but it is a weird image.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33That's unless I'm missing a trick.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Maybe there was a special constable number 192 in Blackpool,
0:17:38 > 0:17:42who did an incredible act of bravery.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44And we don't know about it.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49That bit of research could reveal all sorts of interesting information
0:17:49 > 0:17:51that could enhance the value of the card,
0:17:51 > 0:17:56because these sorts of cards were produced locally
0:17:56 > 0:17:59in incredibly limited numbers.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01And that's what gives it added value.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04What did it cost?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07£5, here in Peterborough.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10What might it be worth in Blackpool?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13It could be worth as much as £20.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15'Allo 'allo.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Back to the shopping and the pressure's on the Reds
0:18:20 > 0:18:23to find two items in less than 30 minutes.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26The Blues need to find one, but what will it be?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Well, we've not spent a lot of money yet, so I think we need to
0:18:29 > 0:18:33look for perhaps something a little bit higher value?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Cos we're running out of time, maybe...
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- We do need to be quite decisive. - ..we don't have to think so much.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Can I have this? - LAUGHTER
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- There you are!- No, I don't think you mean that.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45LAUGHTER
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Hands off! You're barking up the wrong tree.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50The thing is with you two,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53is when you know you want it, you want it.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- This is true.- Yeah. - This is definitely true.- Yeah.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- But- what- do you want?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- I know you didn't want a tea service, or coffee service.- Oh, no!
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- You don't like that?- The King. - King.- Oh, a king!- King.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Ah, a king rat. You think that's tat?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10You see, I would have gone for ding dong on that one. I like it.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- I would've gone for a ding-dong. - In that case, I'll be overruled.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- I don't know how much it is.- I don't mind being overruled.- Ooh!- Ooh!
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Yeah, £325.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Let's keep on walking.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22All too pricey. Bye-bye, foxy.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26I love this salt dish. Is this a salt dish here?
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- It is, in the form of an oyster. - Absolutely.- An oyster shell.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- Shall we have a look at it?- Oyster, seafood, salt.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Food, salt.- It's quite novelty.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36The very best would be 90.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39The very best is 90. I like it...
0:19:39 > 0:19:40But it's too risky.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45For you guys, I feel if I make you a poor decision,
0:19:45 > 0:19:46I think I'm...in for some trouble.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Thomas in trouble? Ha, never!
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Christina, on the other hand, well...
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Only kidding, Christina.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56What have you got there, love?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Look at that. So we've got this wonderful...
0:19:58 > 0:20:01What have we got on light? Look at it under this light here, look.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Can you see those wonderful aventurine speckles?- Oh, yeah. Yeah.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09So this is very much in the Monart, Vasart, styles of art glass.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- Right.- Really, really beautiful.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- What do you think of that, guys?- I think it's nice.- How much is that?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17It is nice. What's he got on it here?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- 1970s, so slightly later. He's got £85 on it.- OK.- Do you like it?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Yeah, I like it!- Hang on a second. Is it a mouse, a rat?
0:20:22 > 0:20:23- ALL TALK - It's...- Ding-dong?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- No, it's ding-dong. - Is it? It's a ding-dong.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Can I have a feel, please? - Yeah, of course.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- It's heavy.- It's jolly heavy.- OK.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31And it has got a nice pontil mark on the bottom,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33which makes me think it's obviously handmade or hand blown.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- All right.- Yes.- Lovely thing. Great colours!
0:20:35 > 0:20:37And there's no chipping?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- It's perfect around the edge.- That is the key, exactly.- Oh, I know.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- When you're looking at glassware. - Yep.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44You do really want to make sure that
0:20:44 > 0:20:45- it's perfect. - GLASS CHIMES
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Ding-dong!- It's got a good ring... - LAUGHTER
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Shall I do that again?- Ding!- Dong! - GLASS CHIMES
0:20:49 > 0:20:50LAUGHTER
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- What's your thoughts?- Absolutely. - You like it?- Absolutely.- Patrick!
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I've never seen you have so much conviction.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- It's blue for the Blue Team, as well.- Blue for the Blue Team, I like it.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03- Shall I just go and find out how much he'll do it for?- Yeah, why not?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Hold it tight, Christina, and do your best, Lisa.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- Bless her. He's nodding. Are they shaking hands? - They're shaking hands!
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- This makes me nervous.- Deal done.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Deal done.- How did you get on?
0:21:15 > 0:21:20- Right. He said he'll come down to 45.- Really?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- So what do you think on that one? - I think that's a good price.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- But do you think it'll make a profit?- I do. At £45, I do.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- I think it's a beautiful thing. It's fantastic.- Ding-dong!
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- It's ding-dong!- Brilliant. - That's it, then, team - we're done.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Great. Cup of tea?- Well done. Cup of tea, yes. Warm!- Warm up!
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Ding-dong, indeed!
0:21:41 > 0:21:44The bell has run for the third and final time for the Blues,
0:21:44 > 0:21:48bagging this Monart style speckled glass vase for £45.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55But come on, Reds - 15 minutes left and you've yet to find your last two items.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Not to worry - Thomas is keeping an eagle eye on the time.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02What's that one, there, the silver one, there?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Stunning. The face is all silver instead of enamel or gold.
0:22:06 > 0:22:12- And the numerals are all gold. - To start with, how much?- How much is this one?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15To give you a chance, I'll do it for 85.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19What you've got here is an open face pocket watch with gold
0:22:19 > 0:22:24- Roman numerals, silver face, second subsidiary dial.- Lovely.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27You turn it over then you've got this engraved back, very nice.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32- It's pretty. You are in love already.- I love the back of it.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- I love the decoration on the back. - This is the lever movement, here.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41- And it's moving?- It's moving. So you've got the escapement wheel there, and that's moving away.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- What's the best on that one? - For you, Thomas, 80.- 80.- 80?- 80?
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- Yeah, definitely.- Go for it? - Yep.- Number two.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Yes! It's been a long time in coming.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- I think it's got much wider appeal. - Thank you for your time(!)
0:22:55 > 0:22:57THEY LAUGH
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Hey, I'm king of the puns. But seriously, well done, Reds.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Your second item, a silver pocket watch bought for £80 with 10 minutes to go.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Well done, Cheers!- Yes, cheers! - Cheers!- Celebratory tea.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13While the Blues are relaxing,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Thomas, you need to gear up the pressure on the Reds.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- We've got 10 minutes left. - Shall we try the next stall, then? Hope for the best?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Do you know what? I think we should. I think we should.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I have to say, that ladies' watch there.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- Ah, yes. Kind of '20s style. - Yeah, it does look very 1920s.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- That's really quite nice, actually. - So, you're looking at another watch?
0:23:32 > 0:23:37- I'm looking at another watch. - Can I have a look? Art Deco cocktail watch, again.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- Which I quite like.- That does make it 1920s, doesn't it, if it's Art Deco, is that right?
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- Yeah, I'm just going to see if it...- Is it 1920s style or 1920s?
0:23:45 > 0:23:50- I'd say 1920s, 1930s.- OK.- There's the movement of the watch itself.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53It is a metal case, not a silver case.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- Right.- But again, it's a vintage look.- Very popular at the moment.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- That's what I liked about it. - Here in this marcasite case.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05- It has some age. Some genuine... - The strap is all there.- Yeah.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- We've got the holes in the strap. - And it looks original, as well, is it?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- It is original.- Hoping it's not too expensive.- How much is this?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- I was asking for 30, but you can have it for 20.- £20.- £20.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Having said that...
0:24:17 > 0:24:22- You like that marcasite...? - That brooch-y thing, yeah.- Oh, yes. - That brooch as well.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Shall we have a look at that? - Yeah, definitely, please.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27You could...
0:24:27 > 0:24:33- have a little set.- Ah! Ta da!- Oh! - And put the two together as a lot.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- That's perfect!- OK.- And this marcasite... Again, the marcasite, what is marcasite?
0:24:37 > 0:24:41- I don't know, what is marcasite? - I don't, I just know the style and I do know that I love...
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- It's like a cut metal. - Oh, cut metal.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- Yeah, and it rusts, so you've got to look after it.- OK.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- But this is 1960s marcasite, it's silver.- Oh, it is silver.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56- It's marked "SIL", and it is a pin brooch.- I really love that.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- It suits you. - It goes great with the jacket.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- What can we do for those two together?- You can have them for 40.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06- 35 and you've got a deal.- Please! - Oh, please.- Yeah? You're a star.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11- Thank you.- Thank you very much. - That's great.- Lovely to meet you.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Time's up, and time for tea.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15I have to say I'm quite exhausted.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19- You do look a bit exhausted. - You've shattered me out, you two.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh?
0:25:22 > 0:25:26First up, they spent £35 scooping up six solid silver spoons.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Let's hope they cause a stir at the auction.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36They were also taken by a silver pocket watch, and £80 was paid.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39And finally, to make sure they were on time, they bought a second one,
0:25:39 > 0:25:43an Art Deco marcasite watch together with a brooch for £35.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- Have you had a good day, girls? - A super day.- Absolutely brilliant.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- Super duper day. How much did you spend?- £150.- That's mature.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- Can I have £150 of leftover lolly, please?- You certainly may.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Right. Which is your favourite piece?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01The last bit, which was the jewellery and the brooch, cos I think it will make a profit.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05- OK. And it happens to be your favourite?- Yes.- Oh, good. What about you, Shirl The Pearl?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- The brooch was my favourite as well. - OK. Is it going to bring the biggest profit?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Er, I hope so, yes, I think it's a bit of a gamble,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14but I'm hoping so, yep.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- OK, fine. Over to TomTom. Our legend.- Thank you.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20£150 there, TomTom.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Yeah, and they bought mainly silver.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- So I want to go for something completely different.- Yay!
0:26:25 > 0:26:30Which is not unusual for Tom. Have a great time, Tom, and good luck.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:26:33 > 0:26:39Firstly, they shelled out on a silver-plated condiment set for £10.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43They planted £28 on this jardiniere.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48And once those flowers have blossomed, they can place them
0:26:48 > 0:26:51in the speckled glass vase that they bought for £45.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Well, that looked rhyming.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- How much did you spend?- £83.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03Gosh, it's pathetic, isn't it? Can I have £217 of leftover lolly?
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- Now, Patrick, tell me, which is your favourite piece?- The vase.- The vase.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- What about you, Lisa? - Same again, vase.- OK, vase, vase.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- Vase going to bring the biggest profit?- Indeed.- We hope so, yes, we think so.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17OK, fine, good. Seems to be fairly straightforward, this. They're in agreement.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- Everything is rhyming couplets. - Wow!- 50s! Yeah!
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- Cos there's so much there. - Thank you!
0:27:23 > 0:27:25What are you going to spend it on?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Well, we have had quite a rhyming time, haven't we?- Indeed.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33- So I think I'll try and get something rhyming.- Will you?- I'll try. We'll see.- Sounds interesting.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Good luck with that. Meanwhile, why don't we had off very, very shortly to the saleroom,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40where I hope it's going to be warmer.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43We crossed into Staffordshire for today's auction
0:27:43 > 0:27:45and we're in lovely Lichfield.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49And the auctioneer with his gavel at the ready is Richard Winterton.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- Richard, thank you very much for having us.- Our pleasure.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Now, the Reds have got some pretty similar goods here,
0:27:54 > 0:27:58by the look of it. We've got the six Chinese silver teaspoons.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Not very old and missing their case.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04They are bit dull, bit boring, no case, there is
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- nothing much going for it. We've put £20-odd on it.- Fair enough.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12- £35 was paid. Might they get to 35? - No.- You don't think so?- No. Loss.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16What about this key-wound, open-faced,
0:28:16 > 0:28:19silver-cased gent's pocket watch?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- There is a market for them. - How much?- £15, £20?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25We see a lot come through, probably get up to around 40.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26It's a standard sort of thing.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Is it? Well, we've gone outside the standard,
0:28:30 > 0:28:32to the tune of £80.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- So, we paid double the standard price.- Yep.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37So that doesn't stand much of a chance, does it?
0:28:37 > 0:28:39No, we're not looking good.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- Now, marcasite jewellery...- Yep.
0:28:41 > 0:28:46- ..was very, very, very popular in the '20s, '30s, '40s,- '50s. Yep.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50- Is it popular today? - Not particularly.- OK, great.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52So we've got the marcasite encrusted cocktail watch
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- and we've got the floral brooch.- OK. We've gone for 30-50.- OK, £35 paid.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59So there is a chance they will wipe their face with the marcasite,
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- but the rest of it is a no-hoper in your view. - It's not looking promising.
0:29:03 > 0:29:08In which case they are definitely going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Well, this is fun, isn't it?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13£150 you spent. You gave TomTom £150.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17- Tom, what did you spend it on? - I bought... We saw it,
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- and I absolutely adore these.- Yay!
0:29:20 > 0:29:25- It is a proper Welsh blanket. - I hate that!- I love it!
0:29:25 > 0:29:27THEY LAUGH
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- That's honest, Laura. - I love it!- It's so horrible.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31It's handmade, is it?
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Yes, these are handmade, and I just love the fact it is tradition,
0:29:35 > 0:29:39it is part of this sceptred isle, this beautiful place we live.
0:29:39 > 0:29:44- So it's reversible?- It is. You like it a little bit more?- It is growing on me!- Growing a little bit?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46But basically, it is Welsh wool.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- It's Welsh wool, it's a traditional Welsh blanket.- Yes.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52And they don't come cheap, I have to say.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- How much did it cost?- It cost £130. I did spend all the money.- Did it?
0:29:55 > 0:29:59- It did. There's a lot of work here for 130.- £130.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02It's definitely my cup of tea. I would use it.
0:30:02 > 0:30:07- I appreciate the quality, I love the fact it is Welsh wool.- Me too.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11- I have to say, the price worries me. - Yes.- What will it fetch, Tom?
0:30:11 > 0:30:15I think you could possibly get a small profit. It could be 150.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18If somebody is there who wants Welsh blankets, you go online
0:30:18 > 0:30:21and you try and find a Welsh blanket for under £150, you'll struggle.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- It's definitely growing on me, yes.- Well, there you go.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28You've got all the information from TomTom. Thank you very much for that, Tom.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30But right now, let's find out, excitingly,
0:30:30 > 0:30:34what the auctioneer thinks about Tom's blanket.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37OK, Ricardo. You are known as a Welsh blanket specialist.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- I can't see much more than £20 on it. - Really?
0:30:40 > 0:30:44I can't see much more than £20 on it. 20 to 40.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Our Thomas has spent £130 on this Welsh blanket.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- 130?!- £130.- I'm speechless. - Are you?
0:30:52 > 0:30:54I'm honestly speechless.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57All I can say is that some of these Welsh blankets,
0:30:57 > 0:31:01particularly in the sales and fairs in Wales, make a fortune.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- Do they? - They do.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07But don't ask me which ones do and which ones don't,
0:31:07 > 0:31:10because it's not my bacon. OK, that's the top and bottom of it.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12There's nothing more to add to that.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14So, we have got a no-hoper group from the teams,
0:31:14 > 0:31:18and we've got a no-hoper object as a bonus buy.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- This is looking like a bloodbath to me.- Oh, dear!
0:31:21 > 0:31:23OK, moving swiftly on to the Blues.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26They've gone with a pair of plated condiments.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29How much for the shell salts? On their lonesome.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32I think they could probably get £10-£15.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36- They've got a bit of something about them.- They've got whelk feet.- Yeah.
0:31:36 > 0:31:41- A bit unfair on them, really, but I think- £10. They paid- £10. OK.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44So, the team paid the right price for the right objects.
0:31:44 > 0:31:50Moving swiftly on, is the brass-bound oak coopered plant stand.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52I don't think that's been made out of a marine vessel,
0:31:52 > 0:31:55but it looks just like that type of thing to me.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58We are not far from the home of brewing here in Burton on Trent.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Exactly. So because it is coopered...
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Yeah, could have come from some nice barrel maker down the road.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- Yeah.- Handy object, that. How much? - We've gone £20-£30.- Brilliant.
0:32:08 > 0:32:09Our team paid £28.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11The Blues seem to be paying the right money
0:32:11 > 0:32:13in accordance with the estimates.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17And lastly, that fantastic piece of Scottish glass,
0:32:17 > 0:32:21whether it is Monart or Vasart, doesn't really make much difference.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24It's covered in gold inclusions. A lovely looking thing.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- How do you rate that? - I quite like it.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28It is not signed, quite a few weren't.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31We've got £40-£50 on it.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34£45 paid, so, spot on. Well done, Blues.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37You are exactly in the estimates with every single object.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39So they won't need their bonus buy,
0:32:39 > 0:32:41but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:32:41 > 0:32:46Yet more excitement. £217 to CT.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Christina, what did you spend it on?
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- What was our sort of code for the day?- Ding-dong bell.- Yep.- And...
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- King rat - tat.- King rat - tat.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56You haven't bought any tat, have you?
0:32:56 > 0:32:59I bought you a king rat, but he is not tat.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01- Right!- Let's have a look.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Does it have that magic word on it?
0:33:03 > 0:33:04What, the Lalique word?
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- It doesn't have the magic word. - It is a lovely colour. Look at that!
0:33:08 > 0:33:11I think he's rather lovely. Look at his bottom.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- I beg your pardon? - Turn it upside down.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16It's what you should do when you first see anything, look at his bottom.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20- It does say something. - It says "Sabino, France."
0:33:20 > 0:33:21Oh, right. OK. Yes.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25Sabino, they were very famous for their 1920s, 1930s opalescent figures
0:33:25 > 0:33:29of graceful, elegant ladies and wonderful poses, and lamps.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31- Yes.- They did a lot of lamps, as well.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35They also did animals, and he is from their animal series.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38So, they started in the 1920s and 30s. He is not that early.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40He is a bit of a later one.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44And the magic question, of course, is how much?
0:33:44 > 0:33:45Well, I spent £130 on it.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48This is what happens when you leave me with too much money.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- Gosh, it's a nice thing, though, isn't it?- It's lovely.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53- It's different.- Sweet little face.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- It's sort of cleaning its chops, isn't it?- Yes, it's very sweet.- Yes.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- Gosh, the colour is lovely. - How much do you think it'll make?
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Mmm... I would hope...
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Don't be cross with me, don't be cross with me!
0:34:08 > 0:34:12I think if he made what I paid for him, I would be delighted.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13But I fell in love with him.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16It's fair enough. I mean, we all fall in love, don't we?
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Would you be likely, do you think, Lisa, to fall in love with it?
0:34:19 > 0:34:22I like him, but I don't know whether I like him for £130.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- It's not exactly a love affair, then?- No. Not really, no.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26What about you, Patrick?
0:34:26 > 0:34:32It is a very stylish thing, but as Lisa says, is it £130 worth of style?
0:34:32 > 0:34:34But right now for the audience at home,
0:34:34 > 0:34:38let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Christina's little rat.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39Or is it a mouse?
0:34:41 > 0:34:44This could be a mouse or it could be a rat.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46It all depends what they paid for it.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50It could be a nice little, sweet little mouse, or it could be a rat.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- How does £130 grab you?- I'd be saying that you're pulling my tail.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57No, I'm not. Not pulling anything.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- It is the truth.- No!
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Christina invested £130 in that rodent. It is beautiful.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07It is beautiful. But Tim, we would see...
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Quite a few... It's a standard... We see quite a few come through.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- Very '30s, though.- It is very '30s.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16This would have been churned out in their thousands.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18- Yes, cos it's moulded glass. - It's moulded glass,
0:35:18 > 0:35:22it's made for the export market, because it has got "France"
0:35:22 > 0:35:25on the bottom. When it has got "Paris", it is for the French market.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- So, this would have been turned out in...- Churned out in their thousands?
0:35:28 > 0:35:32- Thousands, yep.- OK. So, it is not worth thousands, then?
0:35:32 > 0:35:37- It is not worth hundreds, even.- No, they regularly make £20, £25, £30.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38Is that your estimate, then?
0:35:38 > 0:35:39- Yeah.- £130.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41AUCTIONEER WHISTLES
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- So, we are ready for the off?- Yes. Looking forward to it.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- Crowded saleroom?- Yeah, packed. - Thank you very much.

0:36:12 > 0:36:16£10, the gentleman. Is that a yes? £15.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Is that all?!- £15.- An outrage.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23£15, away. It's all yours.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- At £15.- £15?!
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- Oh, dear, Thomas. - That is devastating.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- Minus £20.- Minus 20.- Minus 20. - AUCTIONEER: Now, 834,

0:36:39 > 0:36:415, 30, 5.

0:36:53 > 0:36:54No!
0:36:54 > 0:36:58That's minus 40. Overall, you are minus 60.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- Now, OK, the marcasite now, OK?- OK.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03£5, to start me.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04I'm in your hands, for 5.
0:37:04 > 0:37:066, 8...
0:37:07 > 0:37:09..10...15.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Room. Internet, you're coming.
0:37:12 > 0:37:1415. £15, in the room. £20, the internet.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18£20, I'm bid, here. At £20, the internet.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19It's not over yet.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Internet's at 20. You coming?
0:37:23 > 0:37:24Go on, do it.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- He's drawing it out.- 22.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- He is.- 25.- He's being very kind.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- No? £25, all done?- Oh!
0:37:35 > 0:37:38£25, is minus a tenner, which means,
0:37:38 > 0:37:43- overall...you're minus 70. - What happened there?!
0:37:43 > 0:37:46So, what are we going to do about this old rug, then?
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- We might as well give it a go. - Nothing left to lose.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- Is that the accountant in you talking?- Probably.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- Yeah. You want to have a punt? - I think we might as well.- I do.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Anyway, you are going with the Bonus Buy.- Yep.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58OK, now you've decided, I can tell you what
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- the auctioneer's estimate is, which is, I'm afraid, £20-£40.- Oh!
0:38:01 > 0:38:0320-40 is all he estimates.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Anyway, it's coming up next. Let's hope for the best.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07You've been so brave.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Pure Welsh wool. I'm 30, with me.
0:38:10 > 0:38:11- Ooh.- £30.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15With me. 35. £40.
0:38:15 > 0:38:1745, on the internet.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- £45. £50. £60, on the internet. - People have no appreciation.
0:38:20 > 0:38:25- At £60, with the internet. At 70, with the internet.- All online.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- At £70, with the internet. At £70. Here at 70.- Oh, no!
0:38:28 > 0:38:33- £80.- 80.- 80.- £80, bid.- Yay!- Are you coming again? £90, the internet.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35At £90, the internet.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37£90, the internet. Are you all done?
0:38:37 > 0:38:38Go on, internet!
0:38:38 > 0:38:40I can't bear it, Tom.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43£90 is only minus
0:38:43 > 0:38:46£40, so you have shown him. You've shown him.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Anyway, today, unfortunately, for you girls, it is minus 110.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- Yes, it is!- Ooh!- That's a good loss!
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Patrick, Lisa, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:39:02 > 0:39:03- No.- Not at all.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07First up is the pair of plated salts and here they come.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Pair of the silver-plated condiments, then.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Gosh, they look good, don't they?
0:39:11 > 0:39:13With the shell detail on it. Where are you going to be?
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- Nothing on my book. Start me at £5. Who's going to come in?- Come on.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18£5. £5.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21- Don't just stare at them! - No money, is it?- He's bidding!
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- Thank you, sir.- Good.- £5, I'm bid. This is the time to come and put
0:39:24 > 0:39:26your hands up. At £5.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30- £6.- Someone else is bidding. - £8, madam. Got you, thank you. £8.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35- Go on, sir, they're lovely. Go on.- At £8. £8.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36At £8. Do we have 10?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38£8, you're all done.
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Oh, dear.
0:39:41 > 0:39:46£8 only. Well, there we go. So, now,
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- the plant stand. - I'm not sure how it's going to go.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Commission on the book. £20, I'm bid. 5.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- Straight in.- 30. 5. - You're in profit. Look at that!
0:39:54 > 0:39:56You doubter!
0:39:56 > 0:39:58At £40. £40.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59£40.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02At £40, I'm... 45, the internet.
0:40:02 > 0:40:0445, the internet.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- 45?! Wow!- At £45, the internet. You're all done?
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Sold, then, at £45.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17That is plus £17. Nothing the matter with that.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20OK, now, the Monart fellow.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22I'm in at 40. I've got 50. I've got 60.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- I've got 70.- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - £70, with me.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26£70, with me. £70.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Come on, there's more money in that, if it's Monart.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32At £70. £80? All done?
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Sold, then, at 70.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38- We're not going to complain. - No, that's fine.- Five off 60.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41That's 50. That's £25. Plus 25.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45£40 in the bank. Now, what about that little rodent, then?
0:40:45 > 0:40:48- I think we will decline.- Really?- Yes.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Well, now you have decided, I can tell you what the auctioneer says.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- He says £20-£25.- Oh, that's mean!
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Anyway, you're not going with it. We are going to sell it, anyway.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58Here it comes.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01A lovely little mouse. Lot 861.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03- It's so pretty. - There it is.- So pretty.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Mouse. 5, I'm bid. 10, I'm bid.
0:41:05 > 0:41:0715.
0:41:07 > 0:41:0820. 5. 30.
0:41:08 > 0:41:1030, the bid, with me.
0:41:10 > 0:41:1235, the internet.
0:41:12 > 0:41:1440, the internet. 5, the internet.
0:41:14 > 0:41:1850, the internet. 60, the internet
0:41:18 > 0:41:21- 70, the internet.- Go on!- 80, the internet.- There we go!
0:41:21 > 0:41:2280, the internet.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25At £80. At 90, the internet.
0:41:25 > 0:41:2790, the internet!
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Room's out. We're selling.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31They love rodents on the internet.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- £90...- Well done.- ..which is minus £40.- Good decision, team.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38- If you had gone with it, you would have absolutely nothing now.- Yeah!
0:41:38 > 0:41:42But you made the right decision. You have ring-fenced your £40,
0:41:42 > 0:41:44which may be a winning score. Say nothing to the Reds.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47All will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Well, well, well. What fun.
0:41:55 > 0:42:00- There are similarities between our teams today.- Ah!
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Each team had a Bonus Buy
0:42:03 > 0:42:05that made an identical loss of £40.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07LAUGHTER
0:42:07 > 0:42:12The problem was that one team went with the Bonus Buy and one didn't.
0:42:12 > 0:42:13Who is counting?
0:42:13 > 0:42:17I'm counting. That means that the runners-up today,
0:42:17 > 0:42:19by a substantial margin,
0:42:19 > 0:42:20- are the Reds.- Yes!
0:42:20 > 0:42:22- Oh.- Bad luck.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- It was a disaster.- Minus £110
0:42:26 > 0:42:30is not so brilliant, is it? In fact, it is minus, minus, minus,
0:42:30 > 0:42:32all down the scorecard, so I am not going to go
0:42:32 > 0:42:35into the individual detail. What's the point?
0:42:35 > 0:42:38- What I care about is, did you have a good time?- It was brilliant.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41- Absolutely brilliant.- You have been very sporting and thank you
0:42:41 > 0:42:44for joining us. But the victors today go home with some money,
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- which is brilliant. You go home with £40. How about that?- Thank you.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Largely made up of the £17 for the plant stand,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- which you didn't believe in at all, Patrick.- I didn't, no.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57And £25 for the Monart vase.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00- Good. Anyway, good fun? Yes. - Brilliant fun, thank you.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Anyway, good to see you.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Join us soon, for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:43:05 > 0:43:06ALL: Yes!
