0:00:02 > 0:00:04From Newbury to Edinburgh.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Belfast to Builth Wells.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Bargain Hunt travels around the country challenging
0:00:10 > 0:00:12teams to find a bargain.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16Well, here's a little challenge for you at home. Riddle me this -
0:00:16 > 0:00:20Rivers without water. Forests without trees.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24Towns without houses. Whatever can it be?
0:00:26 > 0:00:27It is of course...
0:00:27 > 0:00:29a map.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Man's navigational aid for centuries.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37And today's journey starts right here. So...
0:00:37 > 0:00:39let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:01:01 > 0:01:06More than 200 stalls occupy this former military training ground
0:01:06 > 0:01:09in Oswestry and our teams have just one hour and £300 to bag
0:01:09 > 0:01:12themselves a bargain.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Let's take a quick squint as to what's coming up. Oh, yes.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20The Reds can't seem to find anything they like.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I don't like that.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24I don't like opals, a sign of tears.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26You just confuse me!
0:01:26 > 0:01:30The Blues are charming their way to the top.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Just look at that face!
0:01:32 > 0:01:34My flirting is working!
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And it's a rollercoaster of an auction.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- We've got a bidder! - I don't believe this!
0:01:40 > 0:01:41- Yes!- Yes!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45On today's show, some mothers do 'ave 'em -
0:01:45 > 0:01:48we have two mothers and two daughters.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52For the Reds, we've got Margaret and Alison,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54and for the Blues we have Kate and Julie.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Hello, everyone! ALL:- Hello!
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Hello, hello. Now, Alison, you're rather a busy bee, I'm told.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- I am indeed.- Surrounded by children.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I know, I've ended up with three children of my own and I'm a
0:02:05 > 0:02:09health visitor working with children from 0-5, about 300 of them!
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Enough to drive you mad, I'd say.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13It drives me quite mad!
0:02:13 > 0:02:16But you're supposed to be, apart from all these other things,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- a soccer mother.- I am indeed.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22My two boys both joined football teams,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25so yeah, I'm on the sidelines every weekend when they're playing.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Now, Margaret, tell me, darling, most people have one job,
0:02:29 > 0:02:30but you've had about 30.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33What sort of jobs have you done?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37I've worked in a lot of places, from part-time working in shops,
0:02:37 > 0:02:41and then in offices, in hospitals, in a library...
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- And now you're semi-retired.- I am.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46OK, what's this about you crying when you met Mickey Mouse?
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- Yes. Um...- Did you really? - It's perfectly true, yes.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52When I was 50, we went to America.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55One of the tours was to go to Disneyland,
0:02:55 > 0:02:59and I took one look at him and he came towards me and he went...
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- And I just burst into tears! - Did you really?
0:03:03 > 0:03:08- Because it was Mickey Mouse! - Was it?- It really was Mickey Mouse!
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- And he was so nice to you, this man in this suit?- He was abso...
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- No, it was really Mickey Mouse! - It was Mickey Mouse.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Yeah.- I'd grown-up with him and it really was him.- Moving.- Moving.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21So moving on quickly, then, what do you girls collect?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I used to collect, when I lived on my own,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25like, quite vintage stuff.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28I used to have quite a few vintage typewriters and office stuff
0:03:28 > 0:03:31and old abacuses and things like that.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Yeah. For me, it was china and old glass. Things like that.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- So you'll be after a right mixture today.- Yes, we will.- Yes.- Good.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Well, that'll be fun. Good luck with it.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Thank you, girls.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- Now, Kate, you're a student.- I am. - A bit of an adrenaline junkie.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50So what do you get up to to get your fix?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Well, I've done skydiving, wing-walking
0:03:53 > 0:03:56and I'm currently looking at swimming with sharks.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I'm just anything adrenaline, I'm up for it.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02But now you're in a much safer environment.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06I am. I'm a student at the Uni of Liverpool, doing business.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- So it's all about business for you, then?- Yes.- Yes, fantastic.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Now, Julie, you own a hotel. - Yes, that's right.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Which you combine with your passion for jazz.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Yes, that's right. Yes, we have a lot of jazz weekends.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21It's in Southport and people come from all over,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23and my passion is jazz.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I've been to New Orleans several times
0:04:25 > 0:04:30and I love all the mementos, anything jazz.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33So, um, how are you two going to get on money comes to shopping?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Are you going to fall out or get on?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- No, I think we've got our tactics, haven't we?- What are your tactics?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Flirting?
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Oh, flirting!- Yes.- Yeah. - She does a good flutter.- Does she?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Oh, yes, look at that!
0:04:45 > 0:04:50That'll work a miracle, I tell you. I feel £10 coming off immediately.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Exactly.- Here comes the £300.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56300 smackers. Thank you very much. £300. You know the rules.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01Your experts await and off you go! And very, very good luck.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Gosh, what a fun this is going to be.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06She's got all the moves to get the Reds out of checkmate.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08It's Anita Manning.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14And the Blues will be having a jolly old time with laughing
0:05:14 > 0:05:17antique man, Richard Madley.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Well, girls, we've got 300 quid. What do we want to buy?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23World War II things really interest me,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26so maybe some World War II artefacts or...
0:05:26 > 0:05:31- Jewellery.- Jewellery! - You're girls after my own heart.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Anything jazz. New Orleans, anything at all.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- And silver.- I think, yes, some silver.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43- Maybe we can find a voodoo doll, pins to the Red team.- Oh, OK!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47BELL RINGS
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Let's go! Yeah!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Come with me!- Absolutely.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55OK, there's some cracking bits over there, girls.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57We might find shiny, sparkly...
0:05:57 > 0:06:01This is the sort of stall that might just have something that
0:06:01 > 0:06:04will catch your eye.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- The girls like shiny and sparkly. - Jewellery.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12What's that? Is that a crochet hook there?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15It's for buttoning up your boots.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16- Oh, is it?- Uh-huh.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20In Victorian times, when you had the boots with little buttons on.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25- OK.- You would hook your boot... the button on it and pull it.- Wow!
0:06:25 > 0:06:28So - Victorian. So what do you think about that?
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Would that make any money?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- It wouldn't get a lot of money.- OK.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34But you're going in the right direction, girls.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Heading in a very different direction are the Blues.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Surely that's not a voodoo doll, is it? What are the chances, eh?
0:06:43 > 0:06:48- Oh, my word!- Straightaway!- What do you think?- What do you think?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I've got no idea! What is it?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Well... It's clearly from New Orleans, from the French Quarter.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Absolutely, Bourbon Street, yeah.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Er, I'm not sure about that, Julie.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I can't see much French amongst this lot, can you?
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Do you think we should perhaps ask the owner? Because he is more
0:07:08 > 0:07:12likely to know more about this than you, me or all of us put together.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- OK.- Would you like me to have a word with him?- Oh, please!- Yes thank you!
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Leave that with me.- Thank you.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Good idea, Richard.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Now, how the Reds getting on? They haven't moved far.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- Is that a pencil?- It is silver, girls. It's sterling silver.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- It's probably from the 1920s, 1930s. - OK.- OK.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36And you've got this sort of machined pattern here.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Which is looking to the Art Deco period,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- so it's quite nice.- Yeah. - Let's ask our dealer.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47- Could you come and... We're quite interested in this.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52- What sort of price is that?- I've got 15 on it, but I'll come down to 10.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57- All the small leads are in there. - Are they to go in it?- Oh, right!
0:07:57 > 0:07:59That's another tenner, though, that.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01ALL EXCLAIM
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- HE MUMBLES - Shall we go for it? - Yes, definitely.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- What do you think, girls? - Yes, definitely.- Is that shiny?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Yes, shiny, shiny!
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Thank you!- Thank you, my darling.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- OK, we're going for that one. - That's fabulous.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Well, you girls don't hang about! - No! No point hanging about.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Go for it!- Absolutely. - OK, we've got shiny.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Shall we have a try at sparkly next?- Yes!- Sparkly next.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Onwards and upwards.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Good work, Reds - one bought in the first ten minutes.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32This is going to be a walk in the park, surely.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Meanwhile, the Blues are pursuing one of the strangest things I've
0:08:35 > 0:08:37ever seen at a fair.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Could you give me
0:08:38 > 0:08:42some idea of what you think it is in terms of age and origin?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Yes, it's from West Africa.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49The old Belgian Congo. Probably '30s, maybe '20s.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52And it's a good luck charm, funnily enough.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Oh, good luck charm!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55It sat outside the hut
0:08:55 > 0:08:59and visitors would hammer a nail in to leave the bad luck outside.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Aha! Right, OK.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06- So he had a number of visitors. - Yes, he was quite a popular chap.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07He was indeed!
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Not so much a voodoo doll at all.
0:09:10 > 0:09:16Now, you've got a price tag on it of £145.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- I actually paid a fair bit for it. - Did you?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Would you take £100 for it?
0:09:21 > 0:09:26- No, the best I could do is 115, I think.- Would you take 113?
0:09:26 > 0:09:2913 being good luck and you said it brings good luck.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- 13 would bring me good luck. - Go on, then.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- So he's going to bring us good luck at the auction.- Exactly!
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Good luck at the auction, that's right.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- We need it.- Good flirting, girls.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44On the other side of the fair, the Reds are not quite so decisive.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Oh, here we go. Over we go.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Nothing, really.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53I don't like opals, a sign of tears.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56No, I don't like that.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58I was looking at that horse one.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01It'd appeal to people who are into horses. I'm not.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- That looks quite pretty. What period would that be from?- 1950s.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12- We're thinking of this. So how much...- 120.- Ohhhh!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Ohhh...
0:10:14 > 0:10:16That'll be a no, then!
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- OK.- Yes. Off we go, off we go.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Now, there was a mention early on of military.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Was that just because you like soldiers or sailors?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Well, at the hotel, my mum does
0:10:33 > 0:10:36war-themed afternoons, so we're always collecting war things.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38It just interests me, so...
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Oh, so a stall like this might just have something on that
0:10:42 > 0:10:43- sort of theme.- Definitely.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Hopefully something will catch my eye.- Something might.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47- Do you want to go and have a look?- Yep.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- Go on, then, let's go and have a look.- Thank you.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Right, so it's military they're after, eh, Richard?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58In these dressing table sets,
0:10:58 > 0:11:03the one thing that sells well is the hand mirror.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05It's not militaria, though, Richard.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- What actually is this made up? - This is silver.- Oh, right!
0:11:09 > 0:11:11This is embossed silver.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16- So, floral decoration and it's centred with a chrysanthemum.- Oh!
0:11:16 > 0:11:18That's Mum's lucky flower!
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- Chrysanthemums, I love anything like that.- Mum's lucky flower! Well!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25We have to have it.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Well, yes.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31It is rubbed, but I think that has been reflected in the price,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34the asking price of £30.
0:11:34 > 0:11:41But if it was priced at £30, and using your special techniques of...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43negotiating...
0:11:43 > 0:11:47..we might find that it's something that could go
0:11:47 > 0:11:50onto our list as a potential buy.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52OK. Let me just have a little think.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Would you take £20 for this?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- 25... - I mean, just look at that face.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Just look at that face!
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- No, it's not that good! - £20.- Evil!- £20.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10You are! £20.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Go on.- Look at that.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17RICHARD LAUGHS I'll never wash that face again!
0:12:17 > 0:12:19# Let there be love. #
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I say! That's some skill.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Two items bought, using just a touch of feminine charm.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Now for something charming I found in Oswestry.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38One of the fun things to keep your eye open for
0:12:38 > 0:12:44when shopping in a fair like this, in Oswestry, are items of memorabilia.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Here are two invitations to
0:12:46 > 0:12:50two completely separate parties.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53The lower one says in French,
0:12:53 > 0:12:57that the ambassador invites
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Colonel and Mrs Lloyd to a ball
0:13:01 > 0:13:07on Friday 12th of August 1814.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09And if you do a little bit of research,
0:13:09 > 0:13:14you'll find that the ambassador to France at that moment is no other
0:13:14 > 0:13:17person than, of course, the Duke of Wellington.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20The Duke of Wellington fought
0:13:20 > 0:13:22what he thought was his final battle
0:13:22 > 0:13:27of the Napoleonic campaign on 10 April 1814.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Bonaparte was out,
0:13:29 > 0:13:34banished to Elba, and the war, they thought, was over.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36And this little slip of paper
0:13:36 > 0:13:39at the bottom records what would have
0:13:39 > 0:13:45been the new ambassador's first entertainment in Paris to the public.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Amazing, isn't it?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49But what about the invitation up above?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53It clearly says the Duke of Wellington
0:13:53 > 0:13:58and he's inviting another Lloyd couple,
0:13:58 > 0:14:02on 26 May 1815.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Of course, Napoleon scooted back from Elba.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08He's raised his army
0:14:08 > 0:14:14and he's threatening the rest of the world to further combat by gathering
0:14:14 > 0:14:19his troops on the French border with a view to invading Belgium.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23It was the importance of those events in 1814 and 1815
0:14:23 > 0:14:27that persuaded the original owner of these invitations not
0:14:27 > 0:14:30to throw them away, that they should be kept.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Because in the future they would be of historic interest and importance.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39What would such an object be likely to be worth?
0:14:39 > 0:14:43I would guess, without doing any more research, that these two invitations
0:14:43 > 0:14:49are likely to be worth say between £300 and £400, were they to be sold.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54What would they cost you here today in Oswestry in a field
0:14:54 > 0:14:56in a hideous frame?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58They could be yours for £15.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Ooh la-la!
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Back to bargain-hunting with less than half an hour to go.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13The jazzy Blues have already bought two,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16but the Reds are trailing with only one item in the bag.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18So crack that whip, Anita!
0:15:20 > 0:15:25- Girls, you've got to... - ALL: Focus, focus, focus!
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Wow!- Focus!
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- How can I focus when there's all this?- I know.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Wow!
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- I'm putting a feast in front of you! - I know!
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Temptation!- Temptation. It's beautiful!
0:15:40 > 0:15:45Have a wee look first of all and see if there's anything that...
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- OK.- ..you fall in love with.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49OK, OK.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Can you see this, there?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55That little filigree... That one. That's the one.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- DEALER: The little gold cameo? - Yeah.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01I'm not normally drawn to cameos, but I think that's...
0:16:01 > 0:16:03What do you think, Anita?
0:16:03 > 0:16:08- That's lovely. It's an Edwardian piece.- Oh, is it?- Oh, right, OK.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Nine carat gold chain. And pendant. - That's right.- OK.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- You've got a lot of gold content there, girls.- OK.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18What's your price on that one?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Your very, very bestest price.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Well, I have got £100 on it but I will do it for 75.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27I think, Margaret, that you've made a nice choice there.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Alison, tell me what you think.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33It's OK. You know, I don't mind it at all.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38It's not grabbing me, but I'll go with it, you know.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Mother and daughter disagreeing, eh? Now, that's unusual(!)
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Meanwhile, the Blues are still on the hunt for militaria.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49So, do you have these sort of things on display in your hotel in Southport?
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Yes, we do, and it's just lovely when the old people come
0:16:52 > 0:16:55and they see all the memorabilia. And it's all authentic.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57It's all real things.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59So that's why it's been a treat this afternoon coming
0:16:59 > 0:17:01and seeing all these wonderful things.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04And hopefully Kate will be able to get something a bit more
0:17:04 > 0:17:06military than a hand mirror!
0:17:06 > 0:17:08It is Kate's turn now.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13I feel that it is now your turn to buy something.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Anything that catches your eye there?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Well, I play the clarinet, so that caught my eye.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- You play the clarinet?- I do.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21I've played with Acker Bilk,
0:17:21 > 0:17:25who's, like, the most famous clarinettist in the world.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- You played with Acker Bilk?- I have, yes.- Wow!- At the hotel, actually.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32You've been hiding your light under a bushel.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37However, we have got to focus our attention on buying one final lot.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Oh, I've seen a clock further down which I quite liked,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42so maybe have another look at it.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45So what about the militaria, then? Oh, I give up.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49And the Reds aren't singing from the same hymn sheet either.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56- Amethyst.- Amethyst.- Oh, that's pretty.- This stone is amethyst.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Or it might be an amethyst glass. - Is it missing a little pearl there?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02It's missing a wee seed pearl there.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05What would be your best on that?
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- Well, in view of the fact it needs a pearl, 65.- Got two here.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12We've got the little cameo and seed pearl one
0:18:12 > 0:18:15and we've got the other amethyst and seed pearl one.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- They're both nine carat gold. - I might see something...
0:18:18 > 0:18:21She might see something else she likes!
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I think the time might actually run out.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Right, I'm going to make a decision. We're going for that one.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29That's it. That's it, Mum. That's the one you want.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- Which one did we go for? - The one you like best. Come on.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- The one you liked. - The one you like the best.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Yes. You... You are some girl!
0:18:38 > 0:18:39You are some girl!
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- I like it!- Yes. Right decision, that one.- £75, thank you.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Thank you very much. - Thank goodness for that!
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Second item bought!
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- What do you think? - You did not too badly there.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51BOTH TALK AT ONCE
0:18:51 > 0:18:56I liked Miss Definite here. I think that you did very well.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- So that was another nice item.- OK. - But we must stay focused.
0:19:00 > 0:19:05We've very little time for our last item, so let's head up that way.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07This way. OK.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Well said, Anita. There's actually only 15 minutes to go.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I like the look of this clock.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19And what is it about this particular clerk clock that your fancy?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21I just really liked the marble effect
0:19:21 > 0:19:23and the two pieces that came with it.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Obviously, I'm of the younger age category
0:19:25 > 0:19:29and I think it's a bit more modern, in my opinion.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31And I just really like it.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Now, these clock sets are of relatively modern manufacture.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- Is that a correct assumption? - No, they are genuine Deco ones.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- They're genuine Deco ones.- We bought them from Belgium last week.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45And it comes with the garniture - it's the whole set, isn't it?
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Yeah. It's the whole set, the complete set and the key as well.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- A key as well!- A key as well, yes.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Pricewise, I can see a price tag of £100 on it.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- That's right, yes.- Indeed.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00I'm going to hand this over now to my friend...
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Hello.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Erm, well, obviously, it's priced at £100
0:20:04 > 0:20:08but we're on a really tight budget at the moment.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Are you able to do near the £50 mark?
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- No way I could get near £50. - What's the best price you could do?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18I could do 80 on it.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- Hm...- It's very difficult to find a set like that with a key
0:20:22 > 0:20:27- and with the two side pieces, as well.- What about 70?- I can't do 70.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32- Do 75.- In the middle? 75?- 75, yes. I could do that.- OK. Thank you.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36There we go. That was quick. OK. We've bought all three lots.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41- We have. That's great.- Result! - Result!- Result! Result!
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Result. Thank you.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Well, I never did, Blues. That was precision purchasing,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51all three items bought with ten minutes to spare.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53What about the Reds, then, eh?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57No! Not another button hook.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00This is your mum's desire. To get a big...
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- I've got a button hook in my brain! - Button hook?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- It depends on the price.- Which is totally useless in today's world.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11It depends on the price. We are running out of money.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12They are Chester.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14A nurse's belt. You've got that.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I always said that if I saw a nurse's belt...
0:21:16 > 0:21:20That's true to my heart. That's what I do for a living.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Yes. Can you...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Anita, just look at that and tell me what you think.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Your mum's obsessed with button hooks!
0:21:28 > 0:21:32I'm going to get me a pair of boots with the buttons, so I can do it up.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34And we've got a nurse's belt here.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Is the nurse's belt not an older one?- It's 1930s that one.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- That one is. OK. - I'll do 50 on that one?
0:21:40 > 0:21:46- How much is the button hook and shoehorn on its own?- 25.- 25?- 25.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47So there's 50 or 25.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51I'd go for that for 50. Is it 50 quid?
0:21:52 > 0:21:53I'll go for that.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56I would. Would you? Come on.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Which would you like best?
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Girls...
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Girls, you just confuse me.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04We confuse ourselves!
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Come on, girls. Only a few minutes left.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- Right. I'm going to choose. - Are you going to choose it?- No!
0:22:11 > 0:22:16Well, I went with the cameo because I let you have the one you wanted.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19So I'll go for the belt for 50 quid. Done. One for all and all for one.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Yes. Definitely.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- OK.- Thank you.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25WHISTLE
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Mum's the word, eh? Cos time's up.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31I don't know if I need a cup of tea or a large whisky!
0:22:31 > 0:22:32I think we need a double brandy!
0:22:32 > 0:22:35I think we need a large whisky or brandy!
0:22:35 > 0:22:37After all that, so do I.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Let's check out what that naughty Red Team bought, shall we?
0:22:41 > 0:22:45The silver pencil cost just £10 and even comes with extra lead.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53The girls finally chose the shell cameo and paid £75 for it.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58And the nurse's buckle spoke to Alison
0:22:58 > 0:23:01and set them back £50.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04You are terrific, you too.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- We are?- You are. And modest with it. Good.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Now, which is your favourite piece?
0:23:10 > 0:23:14My favourite piece is the little silver pencil that we found first.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Yeah. Do you agree with that?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- It's got to be the necklace. - The necklace is your favourite.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- And which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?- The pencil.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22- The pencil.- The pencil, yes.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- And it's going to bring the biggest profit?- No!
0:23:25 > 0:23:29The one that's going to bring the biggest... Yeah! It's the pencil.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- OK. OK. You spent how much?- £135.- Did you?
0:23:32 > 0:23:37- I'd like 165 Squadron, please. Thank you very much.- There you are.- 165.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40We've clearly had one of those days.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42This duo...
0:23:42 > 0:23:46were delightfully chaotic and uncontrollable.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- And the greatest fun.- Any idea what you're going to buy?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51I know exactly what I'm going to buy
0:23:51 > 0:23:55and it's going to make one of these girls very, very happy.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- But only the one. - Well, they never agree on anything.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00True. Yes. Anyway. Good luck.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought.
0:24:03 > 0:24:09They nailed the Congolese wood figure for a whopping £113.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14The Art Nouveau mirror cost the girls £20 and a little kiss.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21And the marble clock was Kate's choice at £75.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- Gosh. That was all right, wasn't it? - Yeah!- "Yeah!" she says.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33- And how much did you spend?- We spent £208.- You are such a brilliant team.
0:24:33 > 0:24:39- I know.- Oh, "I know"! £92, please, leftover lolly.- Yeah.- OK.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Now, which is your favourite piece?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- Well, it's got to be said, it's the voodoo doll.- Voodoo doll.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Voodoo doll with all the little nails.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- And which is your favourite piece, the voodoo, too?- Um, no.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50I'm going to go with the clock.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52It's either voodoo or clock.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- How many voodoo dolls do you see in auction? None.- Not many.- And why?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- And why? Yes. - "And why?" says the daughter.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- This is the head of age and maturity here.- She didn't want me to buy it.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- Trying to rein the mother in. - No. She didn't want me to buy it.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Now, Richard. Seriously. Here is a ton of money.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12I've seen something that might just help us climb out of the mire.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Thank you very much, Richard. That's marvellous.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Good luck with everything.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Very shortly, we're off to the auction in Whitchurch.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27This is where our items go up for sale,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30but will they make a profit or loss?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32What fun are we going to have today?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36With Christina Trevanion in her saleroom. How lovely.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Are you very excited?- Yes, I am.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41As Margaret and Alison will be.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- Now, their first item is the propelling pencil.- Yes.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49- Which I guess is in silver, is it? - It is. And it comes with lead.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Quite unusual to see. Obviously, the refills, as well.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54But very sweet thing. Very saleable.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Is it worth more than £10? - I would hope so.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58- Good. That's all they paid.- Oh good.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01To spend £10 on a solid silver pencil...
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- That's not bad is it?- That's not bad.- No. We put £20-£30 on it.
0:26:04 > 0:26:10Oh, lovely! That's great. Next is the shell cameo pendant.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Cameos are a little bit like Marmite for some people.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Sometimes incredibly fashionable, sometimes totally out of fashion.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18It'll have its fans and its detractors.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20That's what you're saying.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22But it's gold and it's very sweet.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- How much?- £60-£80 we put on it.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- £75 paid.- Oh, that's not bad. - Not too bad.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I just have a feeling it's not going to do terribly well.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- I'm pretty ambivalent about this belt job too.- Yeah.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Unfortunately, it does have a hallmark for 1973.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41I think it's a little bit late to be worth big bucks,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44but nonetheless it is beautiful
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- and there will be, hopefully, a collector out there for it.- Yes.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49We've put £20-£30 on it because it's late.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Hopefully, that'll be a come-and-get-me estimate and it'll
0:26:52 > 0:26:56- climb a bit.- Somebody'll pay 40. - It might even get very racy at £50.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Well, it needs to get to 50. - Oh, does it? Why?- No pressure.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- That's what they paid.- Ah! Right!
0:27:03 > 0:27:06So, I've a funny feeling that with the cameo and the brooch,
0:27:06 > 0:27:09they may need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Lovely. Well, this is a happy little tribe, isn't it?- It is.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16You spent 135 and you gave Anita Manning £165, girls.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- What did you buy, Anita? - £165 is a lot of money.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21- It is.- In the end,
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- with my bonus buy...- Oh! No!- Ha-ha!
0:27:24 > 0:27:26I bought the button hook.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Sorry! Have you got bought a button hook?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Oh, lovely! Right!
0:27:30 > 0:27:32So, how much?
0:27:32 > 0:27:37- Well, I paid £25.- No way!- Yes! - Goodness me!
0:27:37 > 0:27:39These girls had something about button hooks.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- They were fixed on button hooks. - Who made this one?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46These were made in Chester. 1905.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49The good thing is, they're in a nice box
0:27:49 > 0:27:52and they are a matching pair.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- That is beautiful. Thank you so much!- Oh!
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Your Mum's going to start bubbling!
0:27:57 > 0:28:00I know! You've made me happy.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- Well, isn't that sweet?- Could I ask one question?- Of course you can.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- How much are they going to make, Anita?- Oh yes. We want to know that.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Well, the price that they were going to make wasn't a consideration
0:28:11 > 0:28:14when I bought them.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15I bought them because I knew that
0:28:15 > 0:28:18it would make you very, very happy!
0:28:18 > 0:28:21OK. Well, each to their own, as they say.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Which is lovely, isn't it?
0:28:23 > 0:28:24So, for the audience at home,
0:28:24 > 0:28:28let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the button hook.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33- Christina, I know you're not a buttoned up person.- Thank you.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- What sort of profit do you think you might shoehorn out of that?- Ha-ha!
0:28:36 > 0:28:38I like it.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41However, I just have a feeling that somebody has found this box
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- and put these two implements in it. - Right.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46And I think these two implements
0:28:46 > 0:28:48actually came from a much larger set, originally.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- Is it worth £20? - Well, yes. We put £20-£30 on it.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- Anita paid £25.- Ah, well, brilliant.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56I don't think there's a big profit in it, or a big loss.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now, for the Blues. Kate and Jules.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Their first item is the voodoo figure.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07I don't know who your average buyer in Shropshire's going to be.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09It's a long way from the Congo.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Well, thank the Lord we're on the Internet, hey?
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- That's the secret, isn't it? - Yes, exactly.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16What we need to know next is its value.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18We've put £20-£30 on it.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23- £113. Was paid.- Gosh! OK.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25We'll have to cross our legs on that.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- Yes, let's hope they're clicking away.- Exactly. Now, the hand mirror.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Would that be a sunflower I see?
0:29:30 > 0:29:32No, darling. It's a chrysanthemum.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Oh, is it? That's disappointing.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37I was hoping for something more aesthetic.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Ah. Well, indeed.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41It's typical of that period, isn't it? Very, very Art Nouveau.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43And, very sadly, in this instance, you can see where
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- the high points have all been very, very rubbed.- Worn away.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50And it's so important that these are in good condition.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- How much then? - Well, we put £15-20 on it.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- OK. £20 paid.- Oh, great. OK.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- So it's the right price. - Good. Good.- OK. Good.
0:29:57 > 0:30:03And then we come to this dazzling Art Deco three-piece garniture
0:30:03 > 0:30:07- with these oddball little fawns here.- You're not kidding.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11- I mean, what are they doing? Nuzzling up against a disc.- Yeah.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13And then we've got these other discs.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- I mean, it is so reeking of its period, isn't it?- Utterly.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Especially that wonderful contrast of colours, materials,
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- very beautiful. - Adds a quality, doesn't it?
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- Yes, it does. We've put £40-60 on it.- Oh, not so much then.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- (What did they pay for it?)- 75.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Ah. No, we might just get that.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- Might you?- Yeah. - Well, that's a relief.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Well, on that happy note, I think they're going to
0:30:34 > 0:30:37need their bonus buy, so let's shove off and have a look at it.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- Well, this is exciting, isn't it?- Very.- Yes.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44Well, you've spent £208, you've been very brave. You gave Richard £92.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Richard, what did you spend it on?
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Well, I bought something just a little bit different.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Oh!
0:30:52 > 0:30:54I got a laugh.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- Nervous - from both of you.- We are. - I'm trying to work out what it is.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59You're trying to work out what it is? So was I when I saw it.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03It wasn't until I removed that
0:31:03 > 0:31:06and that, that I saw what it was.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09It's a piolet.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- That's a musical instrument. - Very, very warm.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15It's a French mountaineering axe.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18It's probably late 19th-century.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- It's signed by the maker. - Oh, look at that, yes, so it is.
0:31:22 > 0:31:27I know you're looking dumbfounded but believe me, there is an interest
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- in mountaineering.- I like it.- Oh!
0:31:30 > 0:31:34- Can we pick it up?- Can you pick it up?! Of course you can pick it up...
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- And have a "pick".- Yes, indeed.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- There it is.- It's quite fun, don't you think?
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Yes, it does look interesting.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44So I'm intrigued as to how much you paid for it.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46How much I paid for it.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49The million-dollar question. Not quite the million-dollar question.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53- I hope not.- The £30 question.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- Wow!- OK. That's really not that bad.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I thought it was going to be more than that.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- I'd like to think there's perhaps a ten or £20 profit in it.- Oh, OK.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02We were thinking, what will it be?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- A little clock or stamp or something like that.- Exactly.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07I mean, an axe, or whatever...
0:32:07 > 0:32:10You don't expect that to be your bonus buy, do you?
0:32:10 > 0:32:11You definitely don't.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- OK, are you happy? - Yep.- Very happy. Yeah.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Think about it, you don't pick now, but...
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- You don't "pick" now!- Exactly.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20She gets all the lines. So quick!
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Meanwhile, for the audience at home,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about your "pick".
0:32:25 > 0:32:29- Christina, you're a bit of a chip off the old block yourself.- Ha-ha!
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Well, we are nearly on the Cheshire Plain,
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- this would be incredibly useful. - Yes, very, very hilly round here.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- Yes!- Dead flat.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- All those glaciers around Whitchurch.- Exactly.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42OK, so, tell me about it.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44People love this. We have had a lot of interest in it and it's by
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Francois Simond and Fils.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48And the Simonds were
0:32:48 > 0:32:51specialist mountaineering equipment makers
0:32:51 > 0:32:56and they started out in the 1820s as blacksmiths and crystal hunters...
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- Really?- Yeah.- How very interesting.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00..in the French Alps. I think in the 1860s,
0:33:00 > 0:33:03when mountaineering became particularly popular
0:33:03 > 0:33:05around Mont Blanc, they were the men to go to
0:33:05 > 0:33:07for all your mountaineering needs.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10I mean, that thing could been 1880s, couldn't it?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- Maybe a little bit later. - 1900, something like that?
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Maybe a little bit later. I think it's great fun. I love it.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16You could hang it on the wall
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- and it would look rather fun, wouldn't it?- Exactly.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- Now, tell me, your estimate.- £15-20,
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- but we have had a lot of interest in it.- Have you?- Yeah.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26It seems to be the sort of thing that provokes a bit
0:33:26 > 0:33:28of a love reaction.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Yes, good. Well, Richard Madley loved it and he's a good egg
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- and he paid £20.- It might just get there, you know?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- Whatever happens, it will be fun, right?- Yes, exactly.- Yes.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Do you think this could be my new gavel? Oh, maybe.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- No.- Oh, all right.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Now it's time for Christina to take to the rostrum
0:33:44 > 0:33:46with a gavel, not a pickaxe.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49..In the room at £240.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Is there anything you wish you hadn't bought, sweet pea?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- Yeah.- What? Tell us, share it with us.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57- Share it.- Yeah.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Well, my mum moaned all the way home that I bought that nurse's belt.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02She told me I shouldn't have bought it.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Why was she so critical about you buying that lovely belt?
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Because she wanted the shoehorn!
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Right. Well, we now know she's got the shoe hook,
0:34:12 > 0:34:13so she's off that kick, right?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Don't worry about it because anybody with taste
0:34:16 > 0:34:18and discrimination, and all of that,
0:34:18 > 0:34:21will pick up on it and you'll be absolutely fine.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Now, first up is your propelling pencil
0:34:23 > 0:34:25with additional leads and here it comes.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Lot 177 is this silver long-life,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31or a lifelong, propelling pencil.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32I'm looking for £20 for it.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Bid me 20, someone.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- 20 I have online. Straight away at 20.- 20!- Doubled your money.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Thank you, sir. At £25 in the room.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Front row at 25. Where's 30 now?
0:34:41 > 0:34:4330!
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Will you go 5, sir? You're out. Are you sure? Are you sure?
0:34:46 > 0:34:50At £30 I have. Internet bidder then. At £35. It's keeping going.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Where's 40? At £35. If we're all done.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55It's against you all. Online at 35.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57ALL: Yes!
0:34:57 > 0:35:01That's £25. OK, here comes the cameo pendant.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05I've got a bid here.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08It seems a bit mean, but I've got £50 straight away with me here.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Bid me 5, someone.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13It's a really pretty little thing. Looking for 5 now.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15So at £50. With me at £50.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- Looking for five.- No more?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19If we're all done. Against you all.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22It will sell to my commission bidder at £50.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25£50, that's miserable, that is.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Just lost your £25.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28SHE GASPS
0:35:28 > 0:35:30You started off with £25 and you've now got nothing.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- Here comes your old buckle. - Really pretty little buckle this.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38Lot 179. I've got to start this straightaway with me at £20.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41With me on commission at 20. At £20 with me.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43At £20. It's at £20.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46With my bidder then at £20.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48- ALL: Oh!- What a shame.- £20!
0:35:48 > 0:35:50You loved that belt!
0:35:50 > 0:35:54£20. If we're all done. Selling to my commission bidder at £20.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57£20 is minus £30.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- It certainly...- Can't you fiddle it?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02It certainly isn't a belter.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05OK, listen, overall you are now, after that rollercoaster,
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- you are now minus £30.- Oh!
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- What are you going to do about the shoehorn?- We're going to go.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- We've got to have the button. - We've got to have the box.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14- We have to have... - ..the button hook!
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- You are doing it? - We are.- Yes, we are.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21Now you're doing it, I can tell you the auctioneer's estimate is £20-30.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23So £25 is right in the middle of the estimate.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- So let's cross our legs and hope for the best.- OK.- We'll do that.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30Lot 183 is an Edwardian silver handle shoehorn and button hook.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33There they are in a little case there. Bid me £20 for them.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35£10 a piece can't be bad. Bid me £15 then.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- £15 for the two. 15 is bid. - We've got a bidder!
0:36:38 > 0:36:42Thank you. At 15 I have seated here. I'm looking for 18.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Oh, dear.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47No mistake. If we're all done. At £15...
0:36:47 > 0:36:49She just sold that for £15.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Which means you're minus £10.
0:36:51 > 0:36:52I'm so sorry!
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Overall that's minus £40, all right?- OK.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- I never really liked button hooks, personally.- Neither do I.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01- There you go. - You see, we have good taste.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03The way things are, that could be a winning score,
0:37:03 > 0:37:08- seriously, at minus 40. Do not despair.- Do not despair.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- Go forth boldly.- We shall. - We will try.- OK, very good.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Have you ever felt more nervous in your life?
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- No, never.- I'm excited.- Are you? More excited than nervous.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- It should go very, very well.- OK.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29Particularly hot in this area is anything to do with voodoo.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Well, the voodoo doll. We are so excited.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Apparently Shropshire is very hot for voodoo.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36And we feel personally that we've nailed it.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Ha, ha! Well done! You paid £113.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- And the room will be cursed... - If they don't buy it.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- If they don't buy it, yeah. - That's right.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47Anyway, the auctioneer is so cursed by it, she's only put £20-£30 on it.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51- Really?- Yeah. Amway, we are looking forward to it immensely.- Great.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53I think you are very brave to go with these objects
0:37:53 > 0:37:56and let's give it a punt and hope for the best.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- Absolutely.- Here comes our voodoo face.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01At 198 we've got a Congolese carved wood tribal voodoo figure,
0:38:01 > 0:38:04circa 1950. There he is, looking like he's in...
0:38:04 > 0:38:06He's got pins and needles, hasn't he?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09There he is, lot 198. Bid me £20 for him.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Bid me 20 for this Congolese tribal figure.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Bid me £20. 20 is bid.
0:38:14 > 0:38:1620!
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Thank I'm looking for 5 now.
0:38:18 > 0:38:2125 I have against you, sir. 30.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23At £30 in the room.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27Where's 5? Against you Internet. It's at £30. Looking for 5 now.
0:38:27 > 0:38:2935. Thank you, sir.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32You're out. At £35 at the very back. At £35. Where's £40 now?
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Internet come in.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36If we're all done then, against you all.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- I don't believe this! - With you, sir, at £35.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43£35. I'm in deep shock.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- So am I.- We're in deep trouble.
0:38:46 > 0:38:47I'm just in shock that it sold.
0:38:47 > 0:38:5065. That is 65, 75, £78.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Minus 78. Oh, dear.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Look out for the mirror. Here it is.
0:38:54 > 0:38:59£10, that's all I'm looking for. 10 is bid online. Thank you. At £10.
0:38:59 > 0:39:0212 is bid in the room. Where's 15? 15 is bid online.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04At £15. Where's 18 now?
0:39:04 > 0:39:10At £15, if we're all done. I will sell, make no mistake. At £15.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12£15 is another minus £5.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Well, that's OK.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Lot 200 is the Art Deco three-piece clock garniture.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Very impressive looking thing and I've got interest with me.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26I'm going to start this at 35, £40.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28With me on commission on commission at 40.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30I'm looking for 5 now. At £40 I have.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Where's 5? 45. 50.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Still with me on commission at £50.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Come on!
0:39:36 > 0:39:39It's at £50 with me. All done.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- Minus £25!- Are we in the running for the gavel?!
0:39:42 > 0:39:44THEY LAUGH
0:39:44 > 0:39:48- No. I'm very sorry, Jules. No gavel.- No gavel.- No.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- I think essentially a spoon made of wood.- OK.- That's not that bad.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Anyway... Seriously, look, what can I say?
0:39:55 > 0:39:59- Are we going to go with the ice axe? - I think so.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01I think we can scrape the money back.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04- "Scrape the..." - Shall we confer on this?
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- Shall we go with it?- Yeah. - We'll go with it.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10I don't think it can get much worse.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12OK. That's it then, the die is cast.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- We're going with the ice axe. - Yeah, I think so.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17The auctioneer's estimate is £15-£20.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20So we'll see what happens.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Now, we're going with the bonus buy and here it comes.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Let's not get "picky" with this.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Lot 203. Here it is, this rather lovely ice pick. Very beautiful.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- This is yours, this one. - I'll take it.- It's your ice pick.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35I've got interest here. I've got to start this at 15, £18.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38With me on commission at £18.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Here with me at £18.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43At £18 here. 20, 22, 25.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Clears my book, sir. With you at £25.
0:40:45 > 0:40:50Where's 28 now? At £25, I have standing on the stairs at £25.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53If we're all done. At £25.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55£25.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Sold for 25. £5 light, I'm afraid.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01A bit of a an avalanche of losses here.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Minus £5 for that.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08Which, I'm afraid, makes it minus £113.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- Minus £113 - could be a winning score.- It could.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- So remain optimistic until the very end.- Absolutely.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18# It's a crying shame... #
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Gosh, that was fun, wasn't it? ALL: YES.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Mothers and daughters, I tell you, some mothers do 'ave 'em.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Nobody's going home with any profits today, though.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28THEY SIGH
0:41:28 > 0:41:31I'm not letting any secrets out of the old bag there.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33I'm afraid, there is no cash going home.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Just a question of the scale of the losses,
0:41:35 > 0:41:38which for each team are substantial, I'm afraid to say.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40- Oh, dear!- Oops!
0:41:40 > 0:41:45The largest wodge of loss, I'm afraid, sits with the Blues.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48SQUEALING
0:41:49 > 0:41:53I knew this was going to have a reaction.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Woohoo!
0:41:56 > 0:41:58See what I mean? Minus £113 is...
0:41:58 > 0:42:00WHOOPING
0:42:00 > 0:42:05Gosh, I mean, talk about rubbing it in, you lot. Shut up a minute.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Anyway, listen, minus £78 on voodoo
0:42:07 > 0:42:10was the kick that was really a bit too far
0:42:10 > 0:42:12- to recover from, wasn't it? - A little bit.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16I'm sorry because you loved it, you rated it and wanted to have a punt.
0:42:16 > 0:42:17But the big thing is, Jules,
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- this isn't going to put you off, darling, is it?- Absolutely not.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24Kate, you're thinking about going into the antiques business, is that right? A career change.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28Yeah, but I need to build my knowledge a bit more.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Oh, surely not(!)
0:42:30 > 0:42:32- So do I! - Rubbish, Richard!
0:42:32 > 0:42:35No, seriously, we've had a sweet day. I hope you've enjoyed yourself.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38- It's been great.- Thank you. - Joking apart, it's been fantastic.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Thank you very much. But the victors, you aren't getting any money
0:42:41 > 0:42:45- but managed to win by losing £40. - Woohoo!
0:42:45 > 0:42:47It started off so beautifully, didn't it? Plus 25 on that
0:42:47 > 0:42:49on that propelling pencil.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Whoever would have thought that would have made all that profit?
0:42:52 > 0:42:54- Then it went completely down the old proverbial.- Belly up.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- Even Anita's bonus buy didn't work this time.- No, it didn't.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01- Anyway, there we go. You've had a good time, haven't you? - Oh, marvellous.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03You've been incredibly jolly.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05For the audience at home, you should have a look at our website
0:43:05 > 0:43:08and join us for some more bargain-hunting.
0:43:08 > 0:43:09- Yes? ALL:- Yes!
