0:00:01 > 0:00:04This is the East Of England Showground at
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Peterborough in Cambridgeshire,
0:00:07 > 0:00:12home of the Festival Of Antiques, brimful with bargains...
0:00:12 > 0:00:16at least that's what our teams are hoping for.
0:00:16 > 0:00:22As ever, so many stalls, so little time. So, let's get on with it.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Let's go Bargain Hunting. Yeah!
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Bargain Hunt is today near the cathedral city of Peterborough,
0:00:52 > 0:00:54the largest city in Cambridgeshire.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59Man first settled here in the Bronze Age, 3,500 years ago.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Now there may not be any antiques of that age knocking about,
0:01:02 > 0:01:06but there is definitely gold and silver to be found.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10And who's going to be top brass then today?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Let's take a quick squint as to what's coming up.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15On today's show,
0:01:15 > 0:01:17the Reds are impulsive and decisive...
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Oh, my God, there's a kiss!
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Well, one of them anyway!
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I'd no idea you were this bossy and assertive.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- But the Blues also know their minds. - We don't want any wood, Christina.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29What?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32But the big question is, will it pay off at auction?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34You're so cool, you chicks.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Let's meet the teams.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Well, we've got some very best buddies on our programme today.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45We have Vivienne and Gwyneth, who are sisters-in-law,
0:01:45 > 0:01:50and very, very good friends Lizzie and Jackie. Hello, everyone!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52ALL: Hello!
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Cracking to see you.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Now, Vivienne, you work in medical research during the day
0:01:57 > 0:01:59and you're a knitter at night.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I am a big knit, yes! SHE GIGGLES
0:02:02 > 0:02:04So tell us about the medical research first.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Well, I do the administration for medical research
0:02:06 > 0:02:12- that's carried out in GP's practices. - Any particular diseases?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- All kinds of diseases. - Oh, do you? What, the whole lot?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17The whole shebang, yes.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- And the knitting?- I knit and crochet and do crafty stuff.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- I knit for a local shop. - That's professional knitting.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25- Well, kind of.- Kind of.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30- Well, how lovely. And you've got a classic car.- We have, yes.
0:02:30 > 0:02:37- A 1969 MGC, which is primrose yellow. - Is it?- There were only 8,000 made
0:02:37 > 0:02:41and we've got one of the last 1,200 that are still on the road.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- Really? - So we go abroad, we go to France.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Special rallies and all that kind of thing?- Yes.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Now they're a bit of a throb those cars, I have to say.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54Now, Gwyneth, you started your life professionally in a primary school?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I did, in Holyhead.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01And then...my husband, who is also trained as a teacher,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04was unable to find a job in this country
0:03:04 > 0:03:10- and literally applied everywhere, and basically got a job in Jamaica.- No!
0:03:10 > 0:03:12So we got married, quickly,
0:03:12 > 0:03:17and then I left this country and went out to Jamaica.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- And how was that for you?- It was wonderful, the weather,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22of course, in the Caribbean.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Very nice and warm.- Yeah, it was.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28But I taught hockey in a high school,
0:03:28 > 0:03:34- and teaching hockey in 80 degree heat is no joke, I can tell you.- No!
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- And we lived down the road from Bob Marley...- Did you?
0:03:37 > 0:03:38..although I never saw him.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Did you not?- No, unfortunately.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42So Island records were big in your life though, were they?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44They were, the reggae reggae.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- I mean, that was the moment, wasn't it?- It was.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Yes, very, very groovy.- It was.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Now, OK, listen, as sisters-in-law, you know each other pretty well.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Are you going to get OK with this bargain hunting lark?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- I think we are.- I think so, yeah. We might not agree on everything.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- But you're not going to fall out big-time?- Oh, no, no.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03We've been told to behave!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Well, that will be difficult, won't it, Vivienne?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08OK, you're clearly out for a laugh, which is lovely,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10which is exactly what we love to see!
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Good luck with that. Now, Lizzie, you like collecting things?
0:04:13 > 0:04:17I love collecting things. I've got a lovely collection of trolls,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19all the way from Norway.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24My husband was working for a Norwegian company for some time
0:04:24 > 0:04:25and so, once a month,
0:04:25 > 0:04:30he used to go over and found out all about the Norwegian folklore,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33of which trolls was one. You must have a troll in your home,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36so I brought some home with me,
0:04:36 > 0:04:40I kept them in the lounge, but in a dark corner.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Because they live underground, don't they?- That's right.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- A bit like gnomes. - They do not like daylight...
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- No.- ..so you have to keep them in a dark corner
0:04:47 > 0:04:49because they would just disintegrate.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50No, we can't have that(!) Good.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52You are interested in World War I things,
0:04:52 > 0:04:56not only taking your interest, but you volunteer yourself, don't you?
0:04:56 > 0:05:01Yes. There is a photographic project to take pictures of different
0:05:01 > 0:05:06war cemeteries, and the idea is to put them onto the site
0:05:06 > 0:05:10so that people who cannot get to see their loved one's
0:05:10 > 0:05:14final resting place can at least have a photograph.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17And it's all linked in with the Commonwealth War Graves.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20They've got a link to our site as well.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23What a nice thing to do. Now, Jackie, not many people
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- can say that they've literally walked in the shoes of royalty. - I can.- Why?
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Well, when I was a lot younger and irresponsible,
0:05:31 > 0:05:35I was the personnel and cashier in a shoe factory
0:05:35 > 0:05:38in Northampton, and they did the repairs
0:05:38 > 0:05:40for the posh shops in London.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Oo-er!- And a pair of shoes came in,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46just brogues, walking shoes, for repair.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49My manager said "They're the Queens's shoes.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- "Could you lock them in the safe?"- Really?- So I did.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57But when he went home, I got them out of the safe and I put them on.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00And I tottered around the office and Steph, who worked with me,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03did the same and then we locked them back in the safe.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Did you take photographs? - No, we didn't, not those. You see,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08you didn't have selfies in those days. I'm going back 40-odd years.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Particularly selfies of your feet?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- No!- This is going to be great! Anyway, now, the money moment.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Right, 300 smacks each. There you go, £300.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18You know the rules, girls. You know the rules.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Your experts await.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22And off you go! And very, very good luck.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Time to meet today's experts.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30The Reds are hoping to snap up some bargains with Thomas Plant
0:06:30 > 0:06:33and the Blues are aiming to climb the profit ladder
0:06:33 > 0:06:35with Christina Trevanion.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Now, what are the teams looking for today?
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Well, I'd like something from World War I, if possible.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43I like chickens.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45COCKEREL CROWS
0:06:45 > 0:06:48What we don't want, we don't want any wood, Christina.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- What?- We're not into woody things.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Am I going to be henpecked? - You may be!
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Step up, teams, because your 60 minutes starts now.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Here we go, then.- Come on, then.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Let's go down there, yes, walk along, pick up as much as you want..
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Whoa!- That's silver stuff there.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16There's too much to look at. There's just... Your eyes are everywhere.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Focus, Reds. Focus.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Be decisive. Go down there. I'll be right behind you.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Let's go. Right, ladies, make a start.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- So this looks quite war-y. - War-y?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35So anything here, military-wise, that floats your boat, girls?
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Let's have a look.- I think this is a sort of ammunition box and things.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40I mean, that would be quite cool.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- Well, it's wood.- That's wood! No! - Really?- No! No!
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Girls, come on, you need to be more open-minded.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50It really looks like wood to me, Chrissie.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52So how old would that be, Christina?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Well, it looks like it's World War II rather than World War I.- Does it?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Or even later, really. It's for ammunition.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00This is kind of... This is quite cool.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03You could turn it into a coffee table or something.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05It would have had all the ammunition and things in there.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- So, what you think? - No.- We're not impressed, are we?- No!
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Women who know their own mind - I love it!
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- It doesn't float our boat. - Right, OK. Well, let's find a boat that does float. Come on.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Whilst the Blues are doing their best to avoid wooden items,
0:08:20 > 0:08:22the Reds, however, are drawn to them.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27- Are those wooden things? They look... - How many out of ten?- Five.- Seven.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Once a teacher, always a teacher, eh?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- What are you looking at here?- I like these.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- OK.- They look old, they're quite...
0:08:34 > 0:08:38They're not. But don't worry. Don't worry, you wouldn't know that.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- I like the muted colours. Do you like them at all?- Not particularly, no.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- I wouldn't have them in my house. - It's not about that though, is it?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- No, I know. I know.- It's not about that.- What you think of them?
0:08:50 > 0:08:54I'm a bit concerned about the age. How old are they?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- What you think they're made of? Are they wood?- They're wooden.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00They're carved wood with a sort of gesso,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02almost like a plaster wash, and then painted.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Well, I think we've been shopping for a minute, literally minutes.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Do you feel that? - Yes, that's fine, yes.- OK. Let's go.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Back on the lookout, the Blues might be on the right track.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18"London and North Eastern Railway. Warning to trespassers."
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Are you interested in trains? - No.- Railways?- No.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Trains, planes and automobiles?- No. - No.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26But that's... I mean, do you like it?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I think it's certainly got a market.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31A, there is a collectors market for signs,
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- and B, there's a collectors market for Railwayana.- How about the condition though?
0:09:35 > 0:09:36- What you think?- It's quite nice.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- It shows it's been used. It shows that it's been outside.- Yes.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- It's weathered.- Yes.- You're not loving it, are you?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- I'm not feeling the love. - I'm not loving it.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- But it depends. Leave it to Lizzie, see how much it is. - Are you feeling the love?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- I'm feeling it's a good auction item. - OK, depending on price.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Depending on price.- Let's ask the price.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Hello, sir. What do you have on your sign?- £80.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- THEY GASP - £80!- That's the very best.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Cut to the quick, I am.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Be still my beating heart. No, that's not a bad price, actually.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- We were thinking more 40!- Were we(?) - No, much higher than that.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11About 110, 120 at auction, that would.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14It is a nice thing and I think our auction
0:10:14 > 0:10:17is going on internet as well, so it will appeal to Internet bidders as well.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20But, let's not waste time. If we don't like it, we don't like it.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- That's...- Do you know? That would be true. We've changed our minds.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- OK, off we go.- Onwards. - Thank you, anyway.- Thank you.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Well, changing your mind is a woman's prerogative.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Keep looking then.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Back on the hunt though, the Reds are keen to find something they both
0:10:36 > 0:10:40agree on and Gwyneth's old marking style is coming out.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- How many out of ten?- Five. - Only five?- Yeah.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47Oh, dear. You're going to have to find something with a higher score than that.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Anything higher than a five yet?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52No... So what's this higher than a five thing?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Because we don't agree on very much when it comes to antiques and things. - Oh, really?
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- So, if we get two things that are, sort of, over...sort of eight.- Over eight?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Yeah, we think, oh.- You think that's OK?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Over with the Blues, on the same stall,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Christina has been caught out.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Christina, are you looking at wood? - No!
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- THEY LAUGH - Of course, I would never be looking at wood(!)
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- We're looking at... - What have you found, girls?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- We think they're awfully pretty. Are they angels?- Aren't they sweet?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- They're little cheruby angels. Little Reynolds angels. - Aren't they beautiful?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24This is nice. You've got a nice hallmark on here, can you see?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26So we've got those initials, WC.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Now that is by chap called William Commins.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- His work is quite sought after. - Oh, right. OK.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35You got the passant lion there, which is standard sterling,
0:11:35 > 0:11:39the leopard's head, which is London and F, so A was 1,900.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44- Oh, right.- So what would F be? - A, B, C, D, E, F.
0:11:44 > 0:11:461906?
0:11:46 > 0:11:51Right, 1,900 is A, so B, C, D, E, F.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- 1905.- 1905.- Oh, well done.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00- So is this different because it has a different initial on it? - Ooh, you're good!
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- Sorry!- I love it.- Do you? It's got something else on it, hasn't it? - You're absolutely right.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07First of all, it's different initials, B and Co. I don't know who that was.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Birmingham is the anchor, then you've got a capital A. I think, in the Birmingham sequence,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13that's slightly later than this.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- But they're really cute. - I think they're really cute
0:12:16 > 0:12:21and I would be quite happy to have the first auction item with those.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23What you think, Lizzie?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Well, I think we need to find a price first.- We do.- Excuse me.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- Hello.- Hello.- Could you tell us how much?- £30.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- For both?- For both, yeah.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- That's quite reasonable. - You think that's quite reasonable? - If you also like that,
0:12:39 > 0:12:44which you expressed an interest in, I can do the two for £80.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- I can't help you, girls. - That's much more like it.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49You didn't love the sign.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51We didn't love it, but I think it's good for the price.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54It was the price we didn't like. We didn't like £80.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- I think I'm quite happy with that, Christina.- Yes.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58It's got to be a team decision, girls.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Are you happy, Lizzie?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I'm happy with those two. We're happy. Thank you very much!
0:13:02 > 0:13:04We've done it. Thank you.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06And not a piece of wood in sight!
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Although, I will just say that these are actually backed onto wood,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11so ha-ha ha-ha!
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Ah, that Christina always gets her way! But great job, girls.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Two items in the bag within 18 minutes -
0:13:20 > 0:13:22the cast iron railway sign for £50
0:13:22 > 0:13:25and the angelic dressing table set for £30.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28It's looking good. But what's next?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32She keeps trying to find wood for us.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- SHE LAUGHS - Well, it's always good to have a challenge, isn't it?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I do love a challenge. I mean, it's difficult to come outside to an antiques show
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- and say that you can't buy wood. - But we are determined not to have wood.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43- That's it, we're not.- It's so funny!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45We're not having any wood.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I am so going to get them something wooden for the bonus buy!
0:13:48 > 0:13:50It's got to happen, hasn't it?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Oh, crafty Christina, eh?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55The Reds have also turned crafty, in a different sense.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00I quite like this hanging shelf. A sort of Japanese design.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- What is made out of?- Papier mache. - All right.- Is it?
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- It's immensely light, yes.- How old you think it is?- It's 1920s.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Oh, is it?- 1920s.- I thought that looked really modern. Did you?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- I thought it was.- But it's not, it's not. It's about 1920s.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Then it's been lacquered.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- And what is lacquer the made out of? - I've no idea.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- It's insect wings, beetle wings. - Oh, is it?- Really?
0:14:20 > 0:14:25It's been painted on and then it's been gilded. Yes. You can see the detail.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- Yes.- Yeah.- Isn't that pretty? - It is pretty actually.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- It's quite a cool thing, isn't it? How much is this shelf?- 35.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- What is the very best?- I can do 28. - 28.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Do you like it? You're not...
0:14:39 > 0:14:41What score is that in your world?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44OK, eight, now you've said it's old.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Eight, now I've said it's old. - I think five for me.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- Do you? You don't like it? - Really?- Yes.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Hmm, time for Thomas's hard sell.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56OK, so picture a scene. You've got pots of blue-and-white,
0:14:56 > 0:15:00you've got carpets from Turkey, you've got lacquered furniture.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02This is hanging on the wall
0:15:02 > 0:15:06against a busy printed William Morris bit of wallpaper.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09And they've got a little Japanese pot on here,
0:15:09 > 0:15:11or a Chinese carving in Jade hung up,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14so that's what it is. That's where it's pictured
0:15:14 > 0:15:17and that's where it's from. That's why I picked it up.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20But is it working? Is Gwyneth convinced?
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- 25 sounds better.- It does.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Why don't you go and have a chat? - Where's the lady?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31If you went to 25, I think we've got a deal.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Can you do 25?- No, I can't do 25, I'll do 26.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Oh! It's an even number.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- Do you really want it?- Yeah. - All right, then.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Yes?- BOTH: Yes! - Vivienne's happy.- She's my friend!
0:15:43 > 0:15:48Aw, best friends forever. But the convincing has wiped Thomas out.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- If it doesn't make a profit.. - You can blame me.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I want your address and e-mail, please.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Well, the Reds have a first item in the bag within 20 minutes.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03£26 for this Oriental shelf and Vivienne is over the moon.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Talking of pretty things...
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Just how beautiful is this picture?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Well, I think it's absolutely gorgeous.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19The expression in his eyes
0:16:19 > 0:16:22and he's gripping onto a twig
0:16:22 > 0:16:25with a beautifully depicted peony underneath.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29In its own right, this is a work of art.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34And it becomes even more interesting when you hold it like that
0:16:34 > 0:16:35because, all of a sudden, you can
0:16:35 > 0:16:41see that the paper that it's painted on is almost translucent.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44You can see my finger behind, look, the shadow of it.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50That's because this paper is something called pith paper.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Now, pith paper is often referred to as rice paper
0:16:55 > 0:16:58and as mulberry paper, but that's incorrect.
0:16:58 > 0:17:04because each sheet is cut from the plant by hand.
0:17:04 > 0:17:10That has to be the most beautiful dove you ever did see.
0:17:10 > 0:17:16Well, that is until you look at the next bird in my group.
0:17:16 > 0:17:23How about that for a cockatoo? And the orange is just to die for...
0:17:23 > 0:17:30Until you see you the next picture in the group, which is a stork,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32standing on one leg,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35on the edge of a river with a waterlily beside him.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41What's so fascinating is that these pictures were made
0:17:41 > 0:17:44specifically for export to the Western market.
0:17:44 > 0:17:50They're called, loosely, China trade pictures. What are they worth?
0:17:50 > 0:17:56Well, for the seven, nicely framed up, they could be worth £50 each.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Seven fives are 35, £350 worth, I hear you say.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02And they might cost you,
0:18:02 > 0:18:07if you were lucky, in a place like Peterborough, perhaps under £50.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Now, that's what you call pretty pithy.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Back to the shopping and, with 14 minutes left,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18the Blues are having a team talk.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Let's go for some war ephemera. - Yes, if we can find something...
0:18:22 > 0:18:27Well, you girls need to be the ones who lead this one then. Off we go.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Find something war-y. Go, go, go!
0:18:36 > 0:18:38The Reds have two items still to find,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41but Thomas has spotted a possible second buy.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46- He's fancied a pin cushion for £30. - That is a sweet thing.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50So, right, this is Mauchline Wear, so it's a sycamore carved wood.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54And it's a little butter churn, but it's got a cushion top, for what?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Pins.- Pins. - Now, you do a lot of sewing.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- Yes, and what do you keep in there? - Aw, that's nice!
0:19:00 > 0:19:03You keep thread, more pins and other things which don't fit in the top.
0:19:03 > 0:19:09- It's got, um, is it la bouboules? - It was bought over in France, yes.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- Yes, it's a French...- Oh, right.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14It's French venue. But isn't it sweet though?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- It is lovely.- I like the fact that it's not been damaged.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Sewing is popular. So, what is your best price on that?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- 25 on that.- 25.- Ooh, 18?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- No, I couldn't do 18. - I love you. I love you for trying.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30He's got it at 30, you wanted to slash him down. Right, try again.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- 20?- 22 and you'll buy it. - 21 - my age.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Oh, for God's sake!
0:19:35 > 0:19:38THEY ALL LAUGH Deal!
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Oh, my God, there's a kiss!
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Was that on the lips? - No, no tongues!
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Oh, please!
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- Thank you.- Well, you bought it. - Yes, she has.- I love it.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- You have not bought anything, have you?- This is a team! A team!
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Come on, that's it. Thank you very much.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55BOTH: Thank you, thanks.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Well done, girls. Vivienne, once again, taking the reins and haggling
0:19:59 > 0:20:03a deal on this pincushion for £21 with 30 minutes still to go.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Do you know what? I've done this for many years.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11And I always say, don't dither and be decisive,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13but I don't expect them to be take me at my word.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Do you know what? I had no idea you were this bossy and assertive.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I wasn't being bossy, I was just being decisive.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Our Vivienne, and her dealing out of her kisses and her love, is amazing.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- I mean, she is impulsive.- I love you really! You can choose the next one.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Aww! All right. All right.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34I'm feeling immensely sorry for Gwyneth because she's quite cautious,
0:20:34 > 0:20:35but it's all about her now.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I'm going to make sure it's all about her
0:20:38 > 0:20:40and that last lot is going to be hers.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Are you up to the challenge then, Gwyneth?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- We've only spent £47.- Yes.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Yes. We've got £253.- That's a lot of money to spend.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I've never had that much money in my life!
0:20:53 > 0:20:55It's all yours, Gwyneth. The pressure's on!
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Can we pretend that was made in WWI? That's really cool.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- It is nice.- Doctor Who, perhaps. - Yeah, exactly.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I want you to fall in love with something.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- In the next 20 minutes? - Well, yeah, in the next 20 minutes.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- This is really flipping hard, Thomas. - It's not.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17No-one said it was going to be easy, Gwyneth.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Ooh, look, Lizzie.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- Is that Wilhelm of Germany or...? - No!- Well, it looks old.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- No, it's Kitchener.- Oh, right.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- That's First World War. - It is. Can we open it up?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31We'll have a quick...
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- Shall I hold it for you, Lizzie? - Oh, look.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38What have we got here, girls?
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- All right. Earl Kitchener, the Secretary of State for War. - Hey, that ticks some boxes.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43- It does.- It does.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48In memoriam, so it must have been when he died. So it's got a bit of, erm...and it's a Vesta case.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49If you slide that in and out...
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I mean, there was a huge amount of respect for Kitchener.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55He is quite a controversial figure, really.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00- Golly gosh, I've not seen any of those for years.- I like that.- Yes?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- I do.- I quite like that as well. - I really like that.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- Has got a price on it?- No.
0:22:06 > 0:22:0825, OK.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Personally... I mean, I know you love it, I know you love it.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- I just don't think it is going to fetch much at auction.- Not enough.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21- Any flexibility on the price at all?- Yeah, I can do 50.- 50? OK.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Can you do it for five?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25THEY GASP
0:22:25 > 0:22:27That hurt ME! Was like a body blow!
0:22:27 > 0:22:28THEY LAUGH
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Well, I'm thinking about the auction.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34You're thinking about the auction. Seven? I can do 10.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- He can do 10.- 10?- Oh, look at her little face!
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- I think her little face says it all, really, don't you, Christina?- OK.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43I'm going to say I don't think it's going to make money,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46but the little light by just lit up in your eyes...
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- That's right!- Yes. - What do you want to do?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Yes.- Yes, she wants it.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52So my friend Lizzie must have it.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53- OK.- OK.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Oh, Lizzie! Look at you!
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Her little face, she's so excited!
0:22:58 > 0:23:01The World War I commemorative matchbox ticked
0:23:01 > 0:23:04the third box and lit up Lizzie's heart at the same time.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07£10 was paid and with time to spare.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13We've literally got about five minutes.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19The Reds, Gwyneth in particular, are feeling the pressure.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Yes, the time has just flown, I don't know where it's gone.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- Have you got butterflies in your tummy?- Yes.- Yeah? What about this?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Oh, that's nice.- No?- That was cleaned up.- What is it?- It's a brooch.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33It's a silver brooch...of a butterfly.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37It's in filigree and it's made by hand and, cleaned up,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39that would shine beautifully.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- It's growing on me, now that you've done that.- As I'm doing it, look.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- It will shine up, I promise. - Can you just clean it all, please?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48THEY LAUGH
0:23:48 > 0:23:52If you put it against your jacket, it looks quite striking, actually.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- It does, doesn't it? - BOTH: Yes.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- What's the best on your...? - 35.- 35.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03- And what could you do? What's your very, very, very, very best?- 28.
0:24:03 > 0:24:0528.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- It's got age...- Yeah.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12It's been handmade and we've got no time.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14We've got to make a decision.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Let's make a decision. - £28.- Yes or no?
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Go on. Does it suit me?
0:24:21 > 0:24:22THEY LAUGH
0:24:22 > 0:24:24There's no time for that, Thomas!
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Come on, there's seconds to go!
0:24:26 > 0:24:28We need a decision. Gwyneth?'
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Yeah, I think so. - You want to go for it?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- Yes!- Yeah.- Happy?- Yes.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37If that's all right with the lady?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Thank you very much.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41It's all right.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42PHONE RINGS
0:24:43 > 0:24:47What time is it? OK. Time's up, teams.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Oh, my gosh.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh?
0:24:52 > 0:24:53The Reds were seeing stars
0:24:53 > 0:24:56with their Japanese ornamental shelf for £26.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Then they pinned their hopes on this novelty pincushion,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04£21 was paid.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08And finally, they fluttered some cash
0:25:08 > 0:25:11on an Edwardian filigree butterfly brooch,
0:25:11 > 0:25:12bought for a flirty £28.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Time to get on. Did you have a nice time?- Brilliant, brilliant.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- Fantastic.- Thank you.- Which is your favourite piece?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24I think it was one of the items that Viv made...
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- Well, she bought it and didn't tell me.- Right.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31- It was a little Mottling Ware needle pincushion.- Lovely.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Now, Vivienne, which is your favourite piece?
0:25:34 > 0:25:35I like the butterfly brooch.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- OK, fine, that's your favourite? - Yes.- Is it going to bring in the biggest profit?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- I think so.- You do?- Yes.- Do you agree, friend?- Yes, I hope so.
0:25:42 > 0:25:49- Anyway, I believe you spent a fortune.- We did.- How much?- £75.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Honestly, I've been misinformed again.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54OK, £225 of leftover lolly, please.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59OK, 225. A lot of big notes in there. Over to you, then, Tom.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00What are you going to spend it on?
0:26:00 > 0:26:05I think I'm going to go out and look for something really quality.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- And spend all the money, right? - Yes.- Good on you, Tom!
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Ooh, go for it.- Ooh, careful!- He's loves a spend up, does our Tom. Good luck, girls.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Go and have a cup of tea now,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16while we check out what the Blue Team have bought, eh?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20The Blues did a double deal.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25It was full steam ahead on this cast iron railway sign for £50.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29The Edwardian silver bedroom set for £30 also signalled profit,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32but will it be reflected at auction?
0:26:32 > 0:26:36And finally, they found a perfect match when they bought
0:26:36 > 0:26:40a World War I commemorative matchbox for £10. Strike a light.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43You're on-trend with this World War I stuff, aren't you?
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Certainly am, yes. - There we go. Had a good time?
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- Loved it.- We loved it.- Jaccs, which is a your favourite piece?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- I quite liked our silver pieces. - As favourites?- Yes.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Do you agree with that, Liz?- No. - No? What's your favourite?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- It's got to be the World War I matchbox, yes.- OK.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Which is going to bring in the biggest profit, do you think?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- I think the two silver pieces that we bought.- Do you?- I do.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- You're sticking with that, aren't you?- I am.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Lizzie?- The railway sign.- It's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- I think so.- Super.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- You spent how much?- £90. - That's not much, is it?- No.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- OK, fine. I'll take £210, please. £210.- There you are.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- I'll hand it straight over to my friend.- Thank you, my darling.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27And have you any idea what you going to do, CT?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I was banned from looking at anything wooden today.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33So you're going to find something that's really brown and shiny?
0:27:33 > 0:27:34- And massive!- And massive.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- THEY LAUGH - I love it.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Well, good luck with that. As long as it makes a profit, who cares?- No.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Now, we'll park all that because, looking slippy,
0:27:43 > 0:27:47we're going to be heading off to the auction any minute now. Oo-arr!
0:27:47 > 0:27:51Litchfield is home to our auction today and the man in charge,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54with all the know-how, is Richard Winterton, bless him.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Richard, good morning. - And good morning to you.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Welcome to our beautiful city. - Thank you.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01Now, for the Reds,
0:28:01 > 0:28:05we've got this novelty Japanese lacquered wall bracket,
0:28:05 > 0:28:09- which, I have to say, I think is divine. Don't you?- Yes.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Er, you think it's period, don't you?
0:28:11 > 0:28:15I do. I think it's old, I think it's aesthetic, I think
0:28:15 > 0:28:20it's probably about 1900 and it's a bizarre-looking thing.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22But such fun!
0:28:22 > 0:28:25A good tourist piece from the turn of the century.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26What's it worth?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- We've got 20-30.- Oh, you haven't, gone mad, then?
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- No, I think that sounds a good estimate.- £26 was paid.- Good.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37Now, the novelty pincushion in the form of a butter pail.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41And it's got little scene on it, the transfer-printed scene.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Do we know anything about La Bourboule?
0:28:44 > 0:28:48- A very small little town in central France.- Oh, really?- Yes.
0:28:48 > 0:28:53So even the Scottish souvenir industry managed to reach out
0:28:53 > 0:28:55to a tiny town in the middle of France
0:28:55 > 0:28:57and produce something for sale there?
0:28:57 > 0:29:00That's it, and are we dating that to around 1900-1905?
0:29:00 > 0:29:03I find that fascinating.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- International trade.- Yeah.- Good. Well, what's that worth?
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- We got 20-30 on it.- Well, they only paid £21,
0:29:08 > 0:29:09which is not so bad, is it?
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Good. Well, that's excellent.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16Now, their last item is an exotic piece of silver filigree work.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- It doesn't float my boat. - Does it not?
0:29:18 > 0:29:20No, we've only got £10-£20.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23You don't think it's a particularly good one, do you?
0:29:23 > 0:29:27I think it's lovely. That size and being so perfect.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29I'm confident on the first two, that one, not so much.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32OK, fine. It will be interesting to see how it pans out.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35I think they'll do all right and won't need their bonus buy,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Now, Gwyneth, Vivienne,
0:29:40 > 0:29:44you spent a miserable £75, you gave the 225 to your man.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Tom-Tom, what did you spend it on?
0:29:46 > 0:29:52Well, girls, I went all out there and bought you a gramophone.
0:29:52 > 0:29:58It is probably 1930s, it's in walnut, it's got a record, it works.
0:29:58 > 0:30:0190 quid spent. A fabulous thing.
0:30:01 > 0:30:09And I should say that we sell these all the time for £110,
0:30:09 > 0:30:11so there should be a profit there.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13- You get a lot for your money, don't you, Tom?- Yeah.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- So you've got the speaker...- Look at that! Go on, have a little look.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18- Have a look.- Oh, look at that.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23- That's nice. - It's a really beautiful thing.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Now, what do you think, Gwyneth?
0:30:25 > 0:30:31I don't know where the person who buys this will put it.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- I'd paint it, myself.- Would you? - Yeah.- What colour would you go for?
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- A sort of a pale green, Tim. - I know that kind of look.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Not lilac, like the glasses, anyway.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- No.- Now, there's a lot to think about there.- Yes.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45And you don't need to decide
0:30:45 > 0:30:48until after the sale of your first three items.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Right now, for the audience at home,
0:30:50 > 0:30:54let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Tom-Tom's gramophone.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Now, Richard, stand by for this.
0:30:59 > 0:31:021930S CALYPSO MUSIC PLAYS
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- Does this take you back?- No, no, not for me, no.- Oh, all right.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08OK, we will shut that up, then. Very good.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11This is what they call a collector's item, isn't it?
0:31:11 > 0:31:16It is a collector's item. We do see quite a few come through,
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- so we would see three or four a sale.- Would you?- Yes.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- What's it worth?- We've gone 30-40.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24You are not hitting the right note there, mate, by a long chalk.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27£90 Thomas Plant paid and he really rates it.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31It's got half a chance to get there, but I wouldn't want...
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- The responsibility?- No. I think 30-40 is a good guide.- OK, fine.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Well, that's it. Maybe the teams won't go with it.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Now, moving on to the Blues.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44We've got a cast-iron railway site for the London and North Eastern Railway,
0:31:44 > 0:31:46that's another collector's item.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Very much so a collector's item.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51There's huge enthusiasts out there for this sort of item,
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- so we'd expect quite a bit of interest in this.- How much?
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- We've got 40-60.- That's not much interest, is it?
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- It is for a lump of metal. - Is it? OK, fine.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Well, our guys paid £50, you're saying 40-60,
0:32:03 > 0:32:05so they paid the middle price. Good.
0:32:05 > 0:32:11Next is the matched silver brush and mirror combo set,
0:32:11 > 0:32:14which I really don't like.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17A tremendous amount come through the salerooms.
0:32:17 > 0:32:22- There's nothing extraordinary about it.- How much?- 20-30.- OK, £30 paid,
0:32:22 > 0:32:24- so that's about spot-on.- OK.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27And the last item takes us to the topical First World War item,
0:32:27 > 0:32:31which is the Kitchener matchbox cover.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Yes, these are always popular. There's collectors out there
0:32:34 > 0:32:37for anything to do with Kitchener and World War I.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- There's people out there who will buy that.- OK.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41And what will they pay for it?
0:32:41 > 0:32:44I think it's going to be up towards £10-20.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46OK, well, they paid £10.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Again, they only paid £90 out of a grand total of 300,
0:32:49 > 0:32:52so lots of leftover lolly lying around
0:32:52 > 0:32:54for Christina to do her stuff with.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Let's have a look at what she bought, eh?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Now, Lizzie, Jaccs, you excited?
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- Very excited.- Very!- No more excited than us, I tell you.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- Now, £90 you spent, 210 you gave her indoors.- We did.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09How did you get on?
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- Tim, you know me.- Yes.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15I like to buy things that my team would like.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- Not wood then?- Oops.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- I spent £20...- Ah...
0:33:20 > 0:33:24- ..and I bought... Oh, no! Tim! - Let me help you, darling!
0:33:24 > 0:33:25Together! Whooo!
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- THEY LAUGH - It's gross.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Not only did I just buy you that, I bought you another one of those
0:33:33 > 0:33:36AND I bought you that!
0:33:36 > 0:33:37THEY LAUGH
0:33:37 > 0:33:40And it is a upholsterer's dream.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43I absolutely agree with you because I do have a corner chair
0:33:43 > 0:33:49at home from 1900, and mine looked an absolute dire state.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Then I had it recovered in this beautiful, creamy...
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- My corner chair.- Oh.
0:33:54 > 0:33:59- See? So, Lizzie, we could turn it into a swan.- See?! See?!
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Jaccs knows.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03- OK, well, think about it.- We will.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05I'll knock her into shape.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07We'll stand by for that.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Anyway, decide later because, right now, let's find out whether
0:34:10 > 0:34:14our auctioneer today is quite as keen.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Well, there we have it, Richard,
0:34:16 > 0:34:19a sample of Christina's parlour set. Do you rate that?
0:34:19 > 0:34:21It's got potential.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23I have to say, it's got potential.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26I know it looks absolutely ghastly.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28People buy this sort of seat-furniture
0:34:28 > 0:34:30- if they upholster at home, don't they?- Yes.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33It's a bit of a hobbyist's area.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37And it's a very handsome, substantial oak frame to work off,
0:34:37 > 0:34:40and she only paid £20 for the three pieces.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- Yeah, it's a clever move. - Yes. What is your estimate?
0:34:44 > 0:34:47We've got 20-30 and I wouldn't be surprised if we get double that.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Really? OK, well, as you say,
0:34:50 > 0:34:52there is hope and it springs eternal.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53Thank you, Richard.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Now, Vivienne, Gwyneth,
0:35:02 > 0:35:04look how full this room is.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- Maybe they are all here to buy your lot!- I hope so.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12Anyway, here we go, the first item up is the Japanese curio shelf.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14I love it to bits and here it comes.
0:35:14 > 0:35:20Little Japanese lacquered novelty little shelf. £20 I'm bid.
0:35:20 > 0:35:25£20 I'm bid. £20 I'm bid, £20, £20, 25, £30.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29£30?
0:35:29 > 0:35:30The room is out with me at 30.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35At 30, with me at £30, the room is out, sold at £30.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38I'm loving it. That's cheap enough. Done.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- £30 is plus £4.- Yes!
0:35:41 > 0:35:47It's a profit. Now, the pincushion from La Bourboule.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50£5.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Five, six, eight, 10, 12.
0:35:53 > 0:35:58- 12 in the room.- Go on, more!- £15, £20 in the room.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Standing at £20, £20 and standing.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03£20 I'm bid.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08£20, you're £1 off. Oh, dear. That is one pound.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10You're still plus three.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13A little brooch we go to. Again, nothing on my book at all.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Where you going to be on this one?
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Five pounds. Five pound, a little brooch.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Come on, don't leave me standing her on my own.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Five pounds. Six pounds Internet.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- It silver, isn't it?- It is silver.

0:36:28 > 0:36:32£15, thank you. £15 in the room.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34£20 the internet.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- Come on, Internet!- It's a little 'un. Are you sure?
0:36:37 > 0:36:41- Go on, one more.- 22, a little tiny one. £22?- £22!
0:36:44 > 0:36:49- 25?- It's a Red Admiral.- £22, it's in the room, it's coming your way.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Wear it with pride. £22.
0:36:52 > 0:36:58£22 is minus £6 pounds. You had £3 before. You're now minus £3.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02How miserable is that? Oh, kids!
0:37:04 > 0:37:06I mean, you nearly got there. It was so cool.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Now, what are we going to do about this gramophone lark?
0:37:09 > 0:37:10Are you going to risk it for a biscuit?
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- Oh, go on.- Yeah. - You want to risk it?
0:37:13 > 0:37:14- Yeah.- Gosh!
0:37:14 > 0:37:16OK, we're going to go with the bonus buy.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Anyway, here it comes, here we go.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45so that's minus 55.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47It was going so well, wasn't it?
0:37:47 > 0:37:51- Anyway, so now it's minus 58.- OK.
0:37:51 > 0:37:56OK? Now, don't be depressed, girls, because minus £58...
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Could be... - ..could be a winning score!
0:38:05 > 0:38:09Now, Jacqui, Lizzie, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:38:09 > 0:38:10- Haven't a clue.- Good.- What Reds?
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- What Reds?- No idea.- Good for you.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Now, your railway sign, I have to tell you,
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- I think it's a splendid job. - Oh, good!- Oh!
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Cast-iron and, for a railway-minded person,
0:38:21 > 0:38:25that should be £50-100 anytime of the day or night.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27I'm feeling very warm and confident for you
0:38:27 > 0:38:30and here comes the railway sign, boom, boom.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31Railway sign, there.

0:39:25 > 0:39:26Little matchbox cover there.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Nothing online.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29Interesting bit of history.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Now, start me, £5.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Don't mind where you start.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09- We've got a golden gavel, haven't we?- And you get your golden gavel.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Wow!- Now, listen, what are you going to do about the parlour set?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Are you going to risk 20 smackers?
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- Oh, girls.- No, it's wood. It's horrible.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21I think it would make 20 at least.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- So what are you going to do? Are you going to go with it?- Yes, please.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27You're going to go with the suite. Anyway, here comes the suite.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Let's hope it turns out to be sweet.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32The oak-framed upholstered parlour set.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Surprisingly, I've got four bids on the book.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38- I have internet access coming in as well.- Look at this!
0:40:38 > 0:40:39It's got potential.

0:40:54 > 0:40:57Sold, then, at £50.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59£50, look at that.
0:40:59 > 0:41:05Whoa! Plus £30, equals plus £90.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Well done, girls.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09So don't say anything to the Reds, all right?
0:41:09 > 0:41:11There's no point in spoiling their day.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Now, it could be a winning score, this, it's not definite.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15So let's wait and see, shall we?
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- OK, try and look a bit po-faced. - What, now?- Practise the grumpy face.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Well, when you go out.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31- Well, well, well. You teams been chatting?- ALL: No.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32- Not about the score?- ALL: No.
0:41:32 > 0:41:37- Because the difference between them is what they call poles apart.- Oh!
0:41:37 > 0:41:40And at one end of the pole just happens to be the Reds.
0:41:40 > 0:41:45- Girls, minus £58.- Oh!
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- You started out with a £4 profit and I had every confidence.- So did we.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53As it turned out, a confidence that was misplaced.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56- Anyway, the end score is minus £58. - Yes.- Yes.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- I take responsibility. - Thank you.- Well, there we are.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02- You're very broad shouldered. But did you have fun, girls?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Well, we loved having you on the show. It's been great.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07But the team going home with substantial folding money,
0:42:07 > 0:42:09that's £90...
0:42:09 > 0:42:11ALL: Yay!
0:42:11 > 0:42:12..are the Blues.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Well done, Lizzie.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16- I told you that railway sign was a goody, didn't I?- You did.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Right at the outset. You made £30 on that,
0:42:18 > 0:42:20which is absolutely brilliant.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22£15 on the dressing table thingamajig,
0:42:22 > 0:42:24which everybody was sniffy about, so they got that wrong.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26The matchbox cover... I mean,
0:42:26 > 0:42:30you only paid £10 and you made £15 profit on it.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33And then we had the parlour set from the parlourmaid
0:42:33 > 0:42:38and the parlourmaid made £30 profit on that...so there you go.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Plus £90 over all, so that's a splendid result.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44And, of course, you made a profit on all three of your items.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48So you're golden... You're golden gavellers, too.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50So, Lizzie, take the one nearest to you.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52That's great, darling, thank you.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54- Jacqui, there you are. - Thank you very much.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- And, Christina, one for your collection.- Thank you kindly.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59- Is that good or is it good? - That's brilliant.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Thank you, I've had a lovely time.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Oh, well, we've had a lovely time meeting you.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05Anyway, it's been a great day.
