0:00:02 > 0:00:03Bargain Hunt is back in Belfast.
0:00:05 > 0:00:11A wonderful city, but rich with history, art and culture
0:00:11 > 0:00:15and home to some rather talented chaps.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19There's Grammy Award-winning Van "The Man" Morrison,
0:00:19 > 0:00:22world champion snooker player Alex "Hurricane" Higgins.
0:00:22 > 0:00:27But the most prestigious has to be footballing legend George Best.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Let's hope our lot are inspired by his sporting prowess
0:00:31 > 0:00:34and let's go bargain-hunting, yeah!
0:00:56 > 0:01:0018 miles west of Belfast is Ballinderry Antiques,
0:01:00 > 0:01:02the venue for today's fun and games.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Three floors of antiques and collectables
0:01:06 > 0:01:09await our lucky contestants today
0:01:09 > 0:01:14so, whether they go for a profitable piece of porcelain
0:01:14 > 0:01:17or plump for some sterling silver, one thing's for certain,
0:01:17 > 0:01:21they only get 60 minutes and £300 to spend.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Let's take a sneaky peek as to what's coming up.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29The Blues are positively brimming with excitement.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- ..Everything about it.- Tell me, tell me, tell me! Let's go!
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Diddly-dee, diddly-dee.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39The Reds, on the other hand, just can't stop squabbling.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Angela, what do you think of that little pocket watch?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Do you not like it?- Not overly, no.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- At the auction, it's as unpredictable as ever.- Yes!
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Before all that, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Well, on today's show we have two teams of friends.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04For the Reds, we have Angela and Paul and for the Blues, Peter and Leslie.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello, Tim!
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Now, Angela, your friendship with Paul
0:02:08 > 0:02:11has grown out of unusual circumstances.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16Yes, indeed. Paul was refurbishing a Georgian house.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19My husband and myself, we love old restored buildings
0:02:19 > 0:02:23and we were quite keen to have a nosy and have a look around,
0:02:23 > 0:02:28so we went to the viewing and within 20 minutes of meeting Paul,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- my husband and him had shook hands and the deal was done.- Was it?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Mm-hm. Both Paul's wife and my husband, we all love antiques
0:02:35 > 0:02:38and going out to shops and stuff and that's how it evolved.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Paul, the building business is your business, isn't it?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- It is, Tim.- Have you been a builder all your life, Paul?
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- More or less. The last 40-odd years. - Well, that's pretty cool, isn't it?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Yeah, it is.- And what bit of the building business do you like most?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I like the old houses.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Well, even Victorian, Georgian, anything like that.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- So, you've done a few, have you? - Hundreds.- Hundreds?- Hundreds.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03How are you going to get on as a team, you two?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Quite well, I think. - Do you reckon?- Yeah.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- What are your strengths and weaknesses then, Ange?- Mm...
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Strengths?- Me.- There you go.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Weaknesses?- Me, probably.- Angela.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- So says Paul. - You're not supposed to say that.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Anyway, we're going to have fun, right?- Indeed, yes.- We will.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22You certainly will and good luck.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Now, Leslie, you've recently come out of retirement.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- I have...- Very early retirement. - ..for the second time.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Oh, for the second time? - For the second time.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31How many times have you been retired?
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Well, the first time I retired, I came over from Scotland
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- to Northern Ireland and ended up in a forestry cottage.- Right.
0:03:40 > 0:03:47- And I thought, "Do the garden, hens, the good life again."- Yeah.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52And the house next to us, or the building next to us,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55was a builder's yard and he was selling it and I thought,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- "Oh, coffee shop, tea room, craft studio."- Right.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- So, you came out of retirement? - So, I came out of retirement, yes.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07- Brilliant.- I have over 12 crafters that show their wares and tears.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11We have a studio at the back where we do demonstrations...
0:04:11 > 0:04:14And you're also terribly keen on animals and birds.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Crazy about birds and for my 50th birthday
0:04:18 > 0:04:24- I wanted peacocks, a hooded vulture and a penguin.- Did you get them?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- No, I got peacocks. - You got the peacocks?
0:04:26 > 0:04:30I got Nosy and Parker and Lady Penelope.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Are they lovely birds? - Beautiful birds. I love them.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Peter, you're going to be very confident
0:04:34 > 0:04:36in front of the cameras today
0:04:36 > 0:04:38because you're a bit of an Am Dram wizard, right?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- Well, yes, I try to be, Tim.- You do a bit of singing then?- I do, yes.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Have you got a little song within you that you'd like
0:04:44 > 0:04:46to have a trill right now?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Well, maybe not now. - Why not right now?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- I think right now, don't you?- Yeah! - We all think right now.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Let's go for it, then.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55# A wandering minstrel, I
0:04:55 > 0:05:00# A thing of shreds and patches. # And that's all you're getting.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Oh, come on. Well, very good of you. And very brave, I have to say.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07And what is your relationship with Leslie?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I am her daughter's partner.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16- Right, so really you're the son-in-law, so to speak.- So to speak.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- I don't know what she would say about that.- No, I don't know!
0:05:19 > 0:05:24- Oh, I see. Oh, OK. - He's got the seal of approval.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27He's certainly got the gift of the gab. Anyway...
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Who has?- Perfect. He has.- Oh, has he?- Well, you both have, actually.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Anyway, what are your tactics going to be?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Talk your way out of trouble today, I guess?
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Well, yeah, I think maybe going for something colourful.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- Pete likes his colours.- Right. - I'll know what it is when I see it.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Oh, you're going to wait till that moment.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Get you in the solar plexus, right? - Yep.- OK, fine.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Well, that's very handy. Anyway, now, the money moment and here we go.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56There's your £300. £300 apiece. You know the rules.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Your experts await and off you go! - Off we go.- Very good luck.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I've always fancied a peacock myself.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Helping the Red Team wrestle down prices is Jonathan Pratt,
0:06:13 > 0:06:18and let's say hello to David Harper, assisting the Blues.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- What are you going to buy?- Well, I would like to buy some silver.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I want three bargains.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Something that we can make a profit on at auction.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Are we going to find what you're looking for?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Well, I don't know what I want but I'll know it when I find it.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Oh, I say, that's a good tactic. - Yeah.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Yeah, lead the way.- Thank you. OK.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43- Come on.- Yes.- Let's go.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49So, what sort of things? What sort of things? What sort of things?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Gosh, this is a dead end down here.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54That's the story of my life, a dead end!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59We've got to just focus here.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- What about them, Jonathan? - What are they?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05They're 1930s, I would say.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07They're like a Betty Boop type of thing, aren't they?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Are there any markings on them? No?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12OK, so they're just little slip-moulded porcelain figures.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17I think, to be honest, it's not of enough value
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- for us to start looking at.- OK.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23A little bit more substance for the sale, I think.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Substance, yes. That's what we're looking for.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- There's SO much stuff. - There is so much stuff.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I'm intrigued to see what you like, Leslie. I'm intrigued.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38I haven't seen it. We need to move quicker.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- I... It's Border Fine Art.- Right, OK.- Quite a nice wee piece.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48I went to an auction and bought a couple of bits of Border Fine Art
0:07:48 > 0:07:55and I bought it for £10 apiece and I sold them for £22 apiece.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Where did you sell them?- I sold them in my shop.- In your shop?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Well, I did, yes. I put a bit of memorabilia in the shop,
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- in the craft studio.- Oh, she's a bit of an expert.- No, I'm not, I'm not!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I just know what I like. I've told you that.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- THEY LAUGH - I just know what I like.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13OK, so, have you found an object that you really like?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- I have but it's quite expensive. - Well, look...
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Again, the Scottish coming out of me. You're the expert at auction.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- What do you think? - Well, it's Border Fine Art.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26This is a company that's still trading.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28They'll be trading for a very long time.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31They make these things handmade and hand-painted
0:08:31 > 0:08:34and you've got collectors all over the world
0:08:34 > 0:08:37and they're pretty expensive new.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- Peter, what are your thoughts? - Yeah, I like it. It's quirky.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46It's got wee animals and rabbits. Are they rabbits or mice?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49They're mice. They're actually what you call mice.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Mice. They're not rabbits at all, they're mice.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54But the mushroom and... Yeah, it's quirky, I like it.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57You've seen it, you've liked it. Will you make a profit on it?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59At 28?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- No, I don't think so. - What does it need to be?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I think it needs to be round about the 18 mark.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Are you any good at negotiating?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I'll give it a try or I think you would be better at the negotiating.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Aye? Yeah, I'll give it a go.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I tell you what, why don't you two stay here?
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Peter, you talk about your rabbits
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- and I'll go find the person and bring him back.- OK. Excellente.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20# Run rabbit Run rabbit
0:09:20 > 0:09:21# Run, run, run... #
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Meanwhile, the Reds have certainly found items of substance,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27cabinets of the stuff.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30You've got domestic items, you've got toast racks and sauce boats
0:09:30 > 0:09:33and stuff like that in there.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Something that can go on a desk, on a dressing table,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37something that can be used...
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Like frames? Picture frames? Or are they...?- Yeah, things like that.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- What about those little egg cup holders?- Who uses that?
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- Who uses these now?- I thought maybe more for decorative purposes than...
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- Would you have that?- No, I wouldn't have it.- I wouldn't have it.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Paul changed his mind, didn't he?
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Let's hope the Blues are a little more decisive.- Peter, this is Mark.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Hi, Mark.- This is Peter. - How are you?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Peter would like to talk to you about some rabbits.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04OK. What can I do for you?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- I was thinking something like 14. - Unfortunately, no.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12I couldn't do it for that. £20 would be a good price for that piece.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- What about 18?- I think I'd have to stay at 20.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Well, we'll split the difference and say 19. How does that sound?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Oh, go on, then.- OK, done deal. Shake the man's hand.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- You two, we've got more money to spend.- Yes.- Right.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Good negotiating, Peter, and that's your first item bought.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Meanwhile, the Reds have only got one thing on their mind.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Silver gravy boats. And that wouldn't sell well?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39They all sell well, but they have a certain price.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43You've got to try and buy something that's going to appeal to the private client.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- It's a difficult game. - It is very difficult.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47We never said it was easy.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Angela, what do you think of that little pocket watch?- Is it silver?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- It says "silver-based pocket watch - £88."- It's quite plain.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58- Do you not like it?- Not overly, no. - Do these two ever agree on anything?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- I heard a pocket watch mentioned. - That pocket watch.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04On the left there? Silver-cased pocket watch.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08It's worth having a look at. We've got to get something, haven't we?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Yeah.- Well, yeah. Time's running short here.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Yes, it is. You've already had 20 minutes.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19OK, so let's have a quick look. Not bad condition, actually.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22There's a little bit of a chip on the top up there.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24This is a movement that falls out the front.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30OK, it's not that straightforward. OK, so, a silver mark on the back.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Oh, gosh, it's a Chester mark. It's about 1900 in date. It's a Chester.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Pop that, lift that off.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42All right. And you've got "Gibson Limited of Belfast."
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Well, we're going to Belfast, aren't we?- We are.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46What you have is you have a nice silver watch.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49It's not without fault but it's a Belfast maker,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- so you're taking something back home, as it were.- That's right.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- What do you think?- Considering the damage that's on it...
0:11:56 > 0:12:02And what the lady will give us it for.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03It's 88.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- What do you think?- £80.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Oh, my word, 10%. 10%.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- 70. 70.- 70?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- You wouldn't do it for 65? - No, sorry.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Who are you looking over at there? - SHE LAUGHS
0:12:17 > 0:12:21We're looking at the man. £65 and you've got a deal, come on.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- Come over here, man, please. - VENDOR:- 65.- 65.- Yes, he says.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30- OK, that was a nod. £65. Let's go for it.- Deal.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- You're right. Thank you very much. Teamwork there.- Thank you very much.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Phew. Talk about time.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Both teams have bought one item but the clock is ticking.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I just want to give you a bit of a time check here.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- This is a bit of a shocker.- Oh, no. - How long do you think you've had?
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- I think about half an hour maybe. - Leslie?- Probably half an hour.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Yeah, actually you're bang on. 27 minutes.- Right.- Oh, really?
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- But we've bought one object.- So, we've two more to buy.- Speed it up.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Right, OK.- We need to speed it up. - Speed it up, speed it up.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Meanwhile, will Reds Paul and Angela ever find common ground?
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- Little cocktail glasses. - Too modern.- Too modern.- Mm-hm.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- Do you see anything, Angela? Anything else?- Walking sticks, no?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- No, I don't think so. - You might need one soon.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18HE LAUGHS
0:13:20 > 0:13:26- Yes. Do you like that?- Yeah, I think it's very cute.- Yes, well...
0:13:26 > 0:13:28It's a wee Royal Doulton Coronation...
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Do you think we'd make any money on it?
0:13:32 > 0:13:37- I don't know.- Well, it's only £18. - What made you stop and pick it up?
0:13:37 > 0:13:38I just thought it was really cute.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41It's very small and dinky and I just thought it was very cute.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Personally, I would go for something...
0:13:43 > 0:13:45You think we'd make a profit on that
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- if we get it at the right money? - Yeah, absolutely.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50There's lots of commemorative wares but it's early enough.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53It's useful, a little jug like that, you can put cream in it and use it.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Well, I'd leave it up to you, Angela.- Well, I like it.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57I got the pocket watch so...
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I think we should see how much we can get it for.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Yes, and we can lose money on that, that'll be great.- Think positive.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- We'll not lose an awful lot. - Think positive, Paul.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09£18. What are you going to get for that? Will you get 60 quid for it?
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Let's see how much profit or loss it makes compared to the watch.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Fighting talk, eh? The Blues are rather more passive
0:14:15 > 0:14:18and are taking the time to learn a thing or two.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Described as a ginger jar.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22It's missing its lid. It would have a lid.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- Yes, I was just going to ask you about that. - Yeah, that goes on the top.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Do you know, that's where you get the saying, "pot luck" from?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- Oh, really?- Whether you had the lid?
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Yeah, it's the importation of massive amounts of ginger jars.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36They would come in crates on their own
0:14:36 > 0:14:39and there would be crates of lids
0:14:39 > 0:14:43and you'd take 100 ginger jars and 100 lids
0:14:43 > 0:14:46and it would be pot luck to see if that lid fitted that jar.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Brilliant, I didn't know that.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Quite interesting, isn't it? I've just made it up.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- You're very good!- Thank you.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- I don't know how they get me for the money.- Will we march on?- Yep.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Oh, Harper, you are a tease.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Now, the jug was priced at £18 but what will Angela get it for?
0:15:04 > 0:15:09- Afternoon.- Hello. - Your very best price?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Very, very best price.- £14.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- Ten?- It couldn't be that, honestly.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- £13.- 12?- God, brutal.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26OK. You can do it at 12.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Not ten?- No, it doesn't work that way, I'm afraid.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32It doesn't work that way.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- Offer and acceptance. I think that's contract law, isn't it?- Indeed.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41- £12.- £12?- OK, 12, deal.- OK. - Thank you.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Second item is in the jar.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Lordy. We got there in the end.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Now for something special I found in Ulster.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02What we have here are two Arcadian visions.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Arcadia relates to Utopia,
0:16:06 > 0:16:13and Utopia is an imaginary place full of plenty, peace, solitude
0:16:13 > 0:16:20and pastoralism, and there is nothing more pastoral than these two scenes.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23They've been painted en grisaille,
0:16:23 > 0:16:27which means in varying shades of one colour,
0:16:27 > 0:16:31and the greyish washes have then been picked over
0:16:31 > 0:16:33by the artist in pen and ink.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Look at the way the little flecks have been used
0:16:38 > 0:16:43to highlight the different elements of the foliage on that tree.
0:16:43 > 0:16:49I imagine a mid-18th-century classical house in Ireland
0:16:49 > 0:16:52that had a series of pictures like this
0:16:52 > 0:16:55and these pictures would have been inserted into the panelling
0:16:55 > 0:17:01in the wall and that is why they don't have glazed covers to them.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Who might these paintings have been painted by?
0:17:05 > 0:17:10I'm no specialist in 18th-century British watercolours
0:17:10 > 0:17:14but the artist that I fancy may have painted these
0:17:14 > 0:17:16is a man called Paul Sandby,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19and Paul Sandby is a celebrated painter,
0:17:19 > 0:17:25who specialised in landscapes and views, who had a particular technique
0:17:25 > 0:17:31when drawing his trees, which is just like we see in these two examples.
0:17:31 > 0:17:37And, more importantly, he travelled everywhere in the British Isles
0:17:37 > 0:17:41and I reckon that it was in Ireland that he was commissioned
0:17:41 > 0:17:43to produce these two pictures.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48Now, all of that needs confirmation but if I'm right
0:17:48 > 0:17:51and if these pictures clean in the way
0:17:51 > 0:17:55in which I think they will clean, at the end of the day,
0:17:55 > 0:18:00they will look truly spectacular and will be worth quite a lot of money.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02How much is quite a lot of money?
0:18:02 > 0:18:08Well, I'd be disappointed if they were worth less than £3,000 each.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12So, shall we say £6,000-£9,000? What would they cost you?
0:18:12 > 0:18:17Here, in Ulster, they could be yours for 400 the pair.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18So, dig deep.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Back at Ballinderry Antiques, the Reds have bought two items
0:18:24 > 0:18:28but the Blues are lagging behind with one and there's only 15 minutes left.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- Leslie.- We might have a live one here, Leslie.- Where are you?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- What have we got now? - We've got a glass decanter.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40It's an unusual shape. It appears to be all together.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43The stopper and the glass,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46the decanter itself appear to be the same.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Well, I think that's something that's really important
0:18:48 > 0:18:50when it comes to decanters.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52You can see the shape is the same as the body.
0:18:52 > 0:18:58Yeah. Give the stopper a bit of a twist. See if it locks in nicely.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- Does it feel locked?- Yes.- Yeah?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03So, I think the stopper matches the decanter itself.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Is that a bit... What's going on in the bottom there?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09That's just... It needs cleaning out.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11This is the problem with old decanters.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- They're very difficult to keep clean.- I think that's nice.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19- You do like it?- Yeah.- Yeah, I do as well.- Will we go for it?- I like it.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- I do like it.- OK.- Will we try it? - Do you like it?- Yeah.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Can we just look for damage? Turn it over. Let's have a look at the base.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- OK. It's a nice base. Isn't that lovely?- It's gorgeous.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34This is where the pontil mark was. That's a blown piece.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- They've snapped it off. - Right, we'll go for it, will we?
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- Well, I don't know. Are you happy? - I am happy actually. I like it.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- OK. Do you want me to go and get you a person?- Yes, a person.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- OK, stay there.- A real person.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48For almost-in-laws, they make an awfully good team.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- Right, you two, this is David. - Hi, David. We've found this...
0:19:54 > 0:19:57..beautiful piece. It seems all intact and no damage to it.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00What's the best you could do for us? I know the ticket says £38.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- What do you think?- £30.- Mm.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Any better than that?- Erm...
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Could you do it for 25?
0:20:14 > 0:20:1728. 28 would be honestly the best.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- OK!- Yeah, I think so. - Yes, yes. Great.- Absolutely.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Thank you so much.- Good deal. Thank you very much.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Hooray! £10 off the ticket price and two items in the old bag.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Now, how are those bickering Reds getting on?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I quite like my wee piece.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I'm not so sure about your watch but I like mine.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35No, I think yours is rubbish, to be quite honest.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I think we're going to lose a lot on that.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Guys, I don't want to have to panic you now,
0:20:39 > 0:20:44but it's going to panic you, we have eight and a half minutes.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Well, let's purchase something. - Stop stalling. Come on, move.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Let's get something. Quickly! - Are you going downstairs?
0:20:50 > 0:20:54You've wasted that much time on your little jug.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I'm in panic mode here.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59You're not the only one.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- I'm a wee bit panicky. - Don't panic. You've done very well.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- You know the fishy plate, what did you think is it?- Where...?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08You keep mentioning this fishy plate. I haven't seen a fishy plate.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- When we first came in.- Oh, right, OK.- There was a...- Where was it?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I don't know. I don't know.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- I think as we came in and it was just on the wall...- Yes.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Whenever we came in.- Yes. - Come on, then.- Lead the way there.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Quick, quick, quick. Oh!
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- OK, where's David? - I don't know.- Oh, here he comes.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- Have you got my fish plate?- I don't know.- Have you got my fish plate?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- Is that the fish plate? - That's the fish plate.- Wow!
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- There's the fish plate. Where did you find it?- On the...
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- sideboard back there and I've spoken to David...- Right.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- ..so I know everything about it. - Tell me, tell me, tell me!
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Well, actually not very much. Nobody knows much about the fish plate.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- First of all, tell me why you love it.- I love the colours, for a start. - Yeah, the colours are lovely.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52And round our way, people are fishing all the time.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- What kind of fish is it? - I don't know.- I think it's a carp.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- Is it a carp or a salmon?- It's not a goldfish.- It's not a goldfish.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Definitely not a goldfish!
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I'd like it to be a carp personally but it's hand-painted,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- which is lovely. So, it's a little piece of art, isn't it?- It is.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11- Peter, what are your thoughts? - I like it. Yeah. It's colourful.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Pete loves his colours.- Good man. A man after my own heart.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- I must say, I do like bright colours.- Will we go for it?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- We're running out of time. - You don't know how much it is.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- No, we don't know how much it is. - You don't know who painted it...- No.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- ..when it was painted... - No.- ..and where.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28And David's going to have that information for us cos he's...
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Are you going to?- Not really.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35Because nobody seems to know but on the back we have initials AJB.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- He's obviously the artist. - Obviously.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40The people here don't know and I don't know
0:22:40 > 0:22:43and it's dated '01 so it's incredibly modern.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- It's a piece of new artwork, isn't it?- Yes.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47We believe it might have come from America
0:22:47 > 0:22:52because they've unloaded a house here recently where the guy
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- had relocated from the States and it came from that house.- Right.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00So, it might be a modern piece. It's a bit chancy.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- I know how much it is.- Yes. - How much do you think it is?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Erm...
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- 20 quid?- Mm-hm. Probably about that.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13That's exactly what you can buy it for. Priced at 28.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17You can have it for £20. Entirely up to you.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20This is the fish plate that you saw that no-one else saw
0:23:20 > 0:23:21- when we came in.- Yeah.- Yes.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25It's 20 quid, it's hand-painted, we don't know the artist...
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- It's a bit chancy.- Oh, I don't know.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29There's also a teapot over there that I quite like.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31HE GROANS
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Peter, help me.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I like it cos I was drawn to it on the wall when we came in, as well.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- OK, right. We'll do it, we'll do it, we'll do it.- Yeah, let's do it.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Are we doing it? Let's do it? Quickly. Third item. Run!
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- Let's do it.- You left your ticket.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- It doesn't matter. They know how much it is! Come on!- Quick!
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- Let's go. Diddly-dee, diddly-dee. - Diddly-dee, diddly-dee indeed.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54And that's their three items bought and paid for.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56There's something I saw in a cabinet
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- and it will just have to do, all right?- Right.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00The Reds, however, have just minutes to go
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- and they're feeling the pressure. - I better not say anything, right?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10It's silver. It's Continental silver, OK?
0:24:10 > 0:24:14This probably was intended to be a decanter that has been broken
0:24:14 > 0:24:18and someone's had it cut and engraved to make a little dish.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Oh, blimey!
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Oh, my word, what's happened there? That's been made up. Oh, no!
0:24:24 > 0:24:28That's been made up. Walk to the counter and get a price for that.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Go, go.- OK?- Right.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- The problem we've got with it... - Yeah, it's...- £80.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Can you do any better? Can you do 75?
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Go down. Let Jonathan say what he thinks about it.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51- I'll let you have it at 75. - Well, we don't have much choice.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Having looked at it now properly, there's a repair down there
0:24:54 > 0:24:56and on the corner there so this whole thing's been done.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00It's actually been enlarged to take that I think but there we are. Um...
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- Shake the man's hand.- 60? Oh!
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Time's up! Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11And you don't get much closer than that.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14They did it in the nick of time
0:25:14 > 0:25:17and this pocket watch was their first buy at £65.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23A delicate commemorative jug next cost the Reds just £12...
0:25:26 > 0:25:29..and the silver dish is far from perfect
0:25:29 > 0:25:31but was bought with only seconds to spare at £75.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36So, do you always leave it to the very last second?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Not always but today, unfortunately, yes.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Well, I don't know, very exciting finish.- It was.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Which is your favourite piece?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- The little jug, the commemorative jug.- That's your favourite?
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- Do you agree with that, Paul? - No, I would prefer the pocket watch.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51OK, that's your favourite. Is it going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- No.- Yes.- OK. Lovely.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Anyway, you've spent how much?
0:25:57 > 0:26:02- £152.- I'd like £148 of leftover lolly, please.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- 145. 148.- And some bits.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09OK, JP, over to you, old fruit.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Ooh. Well, um...- There is a lot.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16That's plenty of money. I've seen a lot of things.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20- We've covered a lot of ground. - We have.- They were... I don't know.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I don't know what I'm going to do, actually.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- It's a jolly good place to do it in though, isn't it?- It is.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27I'll probably be here for another week or so.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Now, let's check out what the Blues bought.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Rabbits or mice?
0:26:31 > 0:26:36This Border Fine Art piece set the Blues back £19.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42They poured out 28 big ones for this elegant decanter.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44And Jean was drawn to green
0:26:44 > 0:26:47and happily forked out £20 for the modern fish dish.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- OK, guys, did you have a good time? - We had a wonderful time.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- I've ticked the bucket list of one thing.- Well, that's nice, isn't it?
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Brilliant. It was a wonderful day.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Good?- Wonderful time.- And how much did you spend?
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- We spent £67.- £67 on three items.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Big spenders.- Big spenders. It must be the Scottish in me.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- £67.- You need £233 back.- I do.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13I need £233 and I shall have £233 with any luck.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- There we go. Nice 50s. Lovely. - Phwoar.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19That's a VERY small amount. What happened? What went wrong?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Well, nothing went wrong. - Oh, didn't it?- No, no, no.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24We bought the items that we saw that we liked
0:27:24 > 0:27:28and hopefully they're going to make us a good profit at auction.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30OK, brilliant. What's your favourite piece?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32My favourite piece I think is the plate that we bought
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- with the fish on it. - OK, fishy plate.- Fishy plate.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37And what's your favourite, darling?
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Well, I'm intrigued with the fishy plate. I don't know much about it
0:27:41 > 0:27:44and it would be interesting to know how much it might get at auction.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- And therefore that's your favourite too, is it?- Yes.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50OK, well, we'll see, won't we, soon enough? Very good, David.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51A tonne of money for you, my friend.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Gosh, I haven't seen a 50 like that for a very long time.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- Have we checked that it's real? - I don't know?
0:27:56 > 0:27:59I think they'll be checking it when I try and spend it, that's for sure.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Well, you're the expert. No. Anyway, good luck with that.- Thank you.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Thank you very much, and it will be interesting to see what he buys, won't it?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Right now though, we're going to get ready for heading off to the auction,
0:28:09 > 0:28:11thank you very much.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Back to Belfast and in the city centre lies Ross's Auction House,
0:28:17 > 0:28:20where our items are up for sale.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23I caught up with Daniel Clarke to see what he thinks about the buys.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- Daniel, how are you?- Good morning. - Good morning. Lovely to be here.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Now, for the Reds,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35first of all, they've got their silver key-wound pocket watch.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Is there much of an appetite in Central Belfast for this?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Well, it's not a madly exciting pocket watch.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Nice face, in good condition, nice weight.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48I think £40-£60 probably.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50OK, 40-60. They paid £65.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54They might just be lucky enough to scrape home with that.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Next is the Coronation jug,
0:28:57 > 0:29:01sweet little thing with a transfer of Alexandra on it.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03I think the size is really nice.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07I think the fact that it's just Alexandra of Denmark on her own
0:29:07 > 0:29:10depicted on the front of it is rather nice.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13£10-£20.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17OK, £12 paid so they're in the money with that and then we've got this
0:29:17 > 0:29:24so-called coaster, which I fancy is actually an ashtray or a pipe tray.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27How do you make that thing out, Daniel?
0:29:27 > 0:29:32It's an unusual piece. £30-£40.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35£75 was paid by JP for this,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38and if all goes pear-shaped,
0:29:38 > 0:29:43it goes decanters up, then they've got the bonus buy to fall back on.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- Everything safely gathered in and collected?- Yes.- Indeed.- Lovely.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Good cos you need to all your powers of concentration now
0:29:51 > 0:29:53cos you gave JP £148.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55JP, what did you spend it on?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00- Oh, that's interesting.- Pretty.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03What we have here is a piece of Victorian jewellery.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07It dates from about 1860, 1870.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11It's in gold and in the centre you've got a cabochon garnet.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15It's an almandine garnet and it's perfectly formed in there.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Obviously, that comes at a price,
0:30:18 > 0:30:20- and that price was... - And that price was?
0:30:20 > 0:30:25- ..the entire budget of £148. I spent the lot on it.- The lot?
0:30:25 > 0:30:27The stone is lovely, isn't it?
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- Do you like it?- Yeah, the light in the stone is beautiful.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33It's old-fashioned in one way but it's got a contemporary feel
0:30:33 > 0:30:36about it and, for me, what does it is that oval stone.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40That's a fiery stone. It's a Red Team's stone.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42So, do you like it, Angela?
0:30:42 > 0:30:47- I do like it, yeah. - Would you buy it?- 146?- £148.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- 148. Is that what we had left? All of it.- Would you buy it, darling?
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- Mm...- No? Not quite your taste?
0:30:52 > 0:30:54I don't know that I would wear it personally
0:30:54 > 0:30:56but that doesn't mean to say it hasn't got commercial value
0:30:56 > 0:30:58- obviously.- So, we just think it through.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01You decide a bit later on after the sale of your first three items
0:31:01 > 0:31:03but right now, for the audience at home,
0:31:03 > 0:31:06let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about JP's brooch.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Right, Daniel, nice piece of Victorian jewellery for you.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Yes, very, very typically Victorian.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18It's got the pin in the back so it can be a brooch or a pendant.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22The stone is lively,
0:31:22 > 0:31:26- so perhaps £60-£80.- Mm. £148.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Never mind. The team may not be so desperate
0:31:30 > 0:31:33that they need to go with the garnet brooch.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40I have to say, the resin group of field mice doesn't do it for me.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Does it do it for you?
0:31:42 > 0:31:47Border Fine Arts. These things have a following.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52Maybe someone will pay 10, £20 for it.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Perfect. £19 paid.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Not much of a target for you to go for there.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59I think you'll be jolly lucky if you get there.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Next is the so-called whisky decanter.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04You could actually put anything in that, couldn't you?
0:32:04 > 0:32:06I think one of the nice things about this
0:32:06 > 0:32:09is the stopper is quite clearly belonging to the decanter,
0:32:09 > 0:32:11which is so often not the case.
0:32:11 > 0:32:17Very nicely milled bottom to the stopper. It fits beautifully.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- £20-£30.- OK, that's perfect.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21They may just scrape home.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25And then we've got this fantastic fishy dish.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29It's very attractive and I could see people using that at the table.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31£30-£40.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35OK, £20 paid, so that stands a reasonable chance of making a profit.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38They've only invested £67. This is strategy.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42Spend as little as possible and give the expert the maximum amount
0:32:42 > 0:32:47to go and spend, so let's go and find out what David Harper did buy.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49- Everybody happy?- Yeah. - Yes, very happy. Yes.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- Well, I bet you are.- I hope we are. - Did you spend a lot, David?
0:32:52 > 0:32:55I'm going to be such a disappointment, as ever,
0:32:55 > 0:32:57to you, Tim, because I didn't,
0:32:57 > 0:32:59but I'm going to hand you one of these each
0:32:59 > 0:33:05and I bought these because of the local Northern Irish connection.
0:33:05 > 0:33:06- Yes.- Oh, right.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10So, we have two medals. Don't get too excited.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- We've got a bronze there. - What does that say?
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- We have a horticultural medal. - Horticultural, yes.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18And then we have an agricultural silver medal here
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- for moo cows and such.- Wow.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- I don't know whether it's your sort of thing.- They are a nice.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- I do like them, yeah. They're small.- What did you pay for them?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31- 50 quid for the pair. - For the pair?- For the pair.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- And we'll sell them as a pair obviously.- Excellent.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35- So, there we go. All right?- Yes.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37There's the lowdown on that to think on and right now,
0:33:37 > 0:33:39for the audience at home, let's find out
0:33:39 > 0:33:41whether the auctioneer is similarly enthused.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Very, very Ulster these, aren't they?
0:33:46 > 0:33:51- Yes, Royal Ulster Agricultural Society medals.- Very local.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55Are they likely to find ready buyers in your Belfast saleroom?
0:33:55 > 0:34:00They're not in as good order as you normally see them,
0:34:00 > 0:34:02which surprises me.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- Maybe 30, maybe £40.- Brilliant.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Well, David Harper paid £50.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13Hope springs eternal, as you know, in this business,
0:34:13 > 0:34:17and we will continue to cross our legs until the hammer falls.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21Thank you very much indeed, Daniel. We'll find out in a minute.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Enough of all that chat.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26It's time to open the bidding as Daniel takes to the rostrum.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28So, why are you so cool, then, Paul?
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Well, I know we're going to have a great defeat
0:34:30 > 0:34:33so there's not much point in getting worked up about it.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35- You're that confident, are you? - I'm that confident
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- we're going to get hammered. - We shall see what happens.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41I feel an injection in the air. I feel the sunny uplands coming on.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Yes.- Yes.- It's very exciting. - Let's be confident.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- We are confident.- Yes, we are. OK, fine, well, moving along then,
0:34:47 > 0:34:50first lot up is going to be your pocket watch and here it comes.
0:34:50 > 0:34:56The gent's silver pocket watch. Can we open the bidding, please, at £50?
0:34:56 > 0:34:58I think we're going to have to bid on this.
0:34:58 > 0:35:03- 20 I'm bid. 5, 35...- Oh, it's going! - 35 now. 40, thank you, madam.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- 5.- Keep going, keep going! - 45 again, Stuart?
0:35:06 > 0:35:0948. Try 50.
0:35:09 > 0:35:14- 50 I'm bid. At £50, the bid's here. At £50 now any more?- You tell him.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17At £50 for the watch. All done at 50?
0:35:17 > 0:35:22Selling at 50. Last call. At £50...
0:35:22 > 0:35:24GAVEL BANGS £50 is minus 15 but it's not as bad
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- as it might have been.- No. - It's not the bloodbath you predicted.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- I thought it was going to be a bloodbath.- Yeah.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Now, commemorative jug.
0:35:32 > 0:35:37Royal Doulton, rather nice. £20. 10 for it, please.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42- 5 I'm bid.- Oh! - £5 now for the jug at £5.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- Come on!- At £5. £10, thank you. Bid's here at 10.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- 15, new bidder.- Yes! - It's against you.- 15...
0:35:49 > 0:35:55At £15 against you, sir. I'm selling at £15.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- All done? All finished?- That's good.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00- At £15. - GAVEL BANGS
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- Number 306, thank you.- Plus £3... - Yay!- That's good.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07- ..which reduces the losses to minus 12.- OK.- Ah-ha.- This is perfect.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10It's going in the right trajectory.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14Lot number 365.
0:36:14 > 0:36:19We have a silver-mounted glass coaster.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Say £50, please, for it.
0:36:21 > 0:36:2340? 30? Take 20.
0:36:23 > 0:36:2820 with the lady. £20 I'm bid. Any more? At £20.
0:36:28 > 0:36:34- Oh, come on.- At £20 I have. The bid's here at 20. At £20.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38- At £20.- That's ridiculous. - Yes!- Take £5 somewhere.
0:36:38 > 0:36:425, thank you. At 25. 28 now.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Oh, come on.- At £28. Lady seated at 28.- I can't bear it.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- JP:- We bought that with 20 seconds to go and it was real panic.- It was.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- It's at 28. It's SO cheap. - I'm selling at £28.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54GAVEL BANGS
0:36:54 > 0:36:57You'd get another decanter to go on that easy.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- You could do, yes, cheap.- Easy. There's loads of single decanters.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04Anyway, £28 is two off 30. Do you know something, Paul?
0:37:04 > 0:37:07You're absolutely right. This is a bloodbath.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09He predicted it and he's right.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Now, moving on then we've got the brooch.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Are you going to ring-fence your losses at minus 59
0:37:14 > 0:37:17or are you going to invest £148 in the brooch?
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- What do you think, Angela? - What do you think, Ange?
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- I would prefer to ring-fence. - Paul, you loved it, didn't you?
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- Do you want to go with it? - I thought it was magnificent.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Do you want to go with it or not? Quickly!
0:37:26 > 0:37:28- Aye, we'll go with it! - Do you want to go with it, or not?
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- Oh, what the heck, yeah.- Go with it. - Go!- You are going to go with it?
0:37:32 > 0:37:35We're going with the bonus buy, and look! It's coming up now.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- Gosh, that was at the last minute. - It's his fault.- Look out.
0:37:38 > 0:37:4060? £50? 40, thank you.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- At £40.- You're a punter, Paul. - At £40, the bid's here.
0:37:44 > 0:37:49- At £40 for the brooch, at £40. - Aw, come on!- At £40. Any more?
0:37:49 > 0:37:54At 50, thank you. At 5. Lady's bid at 55.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58- Come on!- At £55. At 60. At 5.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- 60?- I told him.- At £65. Lady's bid at 65.
0:38:02 > 0:38:08- At £65 all finished?- Aw.- At £65.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11GAVEL BANGS 65, isn't it? 65 is five off 70.
0:38:11 > 0:38:17That's 30. At 78. Plus the 3 is 83.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22Normally that's worth... Whoever's bought that has made a fortune.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- Well, for £65 they have. - Yeah.- I know.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Minus 142, squadron.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Minus 142.- What a bloodbath.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33It doesn't sound too bad if you say it quickly.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Well, look, if things go equally bad for the other team,
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- minus 142 could be a winning score. - Yay!- I don't think so.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Now, kids, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.- No idea.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- You don't want to know, I tell you. - No, don't want to know.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Good. Now, Leslie, first up, cross your legs,
0:38:55 > 0:38:59is the Border resin product field mouse sculpture.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Try and say that quickly.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Border Fine Arts painted group - the "Field Mice".
0:39:04 > 0:39:06I have £5.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10- £10 here. 12, thank you.- Oh, 12!
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- At £12.- 13!- 13, OK.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- Go on!- 13. He's bidding against himself.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21At £13. At £13. 14? 14 again?
0:39:21 > 0:39:25- No, definitely not, Daniel.- Go on! - At £14. All finished at £14?
0:39:25 > 0:39:27- Encourage him to go on!- Yeah, go on.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30GAVEL BANGS Well done. £14. Not enough.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- Not enough.- Minus £5. Never mind, kids.- Aah, well.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39That's £10 more than I thought it would bring.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Here comes the decanter. Look, holding it up, look.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- Isn't that lovely? - I'll take 10 to open. 10 I'm bid.
0:39:45 > 0:39:51- £15, 20. At £20, the decanter. - Come on!- At £20.
0:39:51 > 0:39:56At £20, the bid's here. Selling at £20.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- GAVEL BANGS - Ooh!- Minus 8.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Lot 387.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06We have the craft pottery plate.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08OK, I've done some research on the internet and found
0:40:08 > 0:40:12that the plate was made by a potter in Devon called Adrian J Brough.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- Really?- Yeah. - Well, that's very clever of you.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16It may make the price go up a bit. Thanks.
0:40:16 > 0:40:21- AJB, Adrian J Brough of Devon. - THEY CHEER
0:40:21 > 0:40:27Nice piece. Can we say £50, please? 40? £20, to open, please.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32- Come on!- £20. 20 I'm bid. At £20.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- We have 30.- Come on, one more! - At £30. I'm selling at 30.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39- All done at £30?- I can't bear it. - All finished?
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- At 40, yes?- 40! Yes!- 35.
0:40:42 > 0:40:4430... £40.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47GAVEL BANGS Yes! Look at that! Plus £20.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51- You were minus 13. You're now plus 7. - Wow.- Wow.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53- That's plus 7. That is so peachy.- Yeah.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57Now, OK, what are we going to do about the Agricultural Society stuff?
0:40:57 > 0:41:01Are we going to park it or are we going to go with it?
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- Mm. No.- No, we're not going to go with it.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07- You're not?- You're not going to go with it?- No. Sorry, David.- No.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11- Sorry.- Well, there's a decision and the decision is made.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- We're not going with it and you're going to park it.- Yes.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17You have £7 in your back pocket and that could be a winning score so...
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- Right.- But we're going to have a bit of fun.- Good.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22We're going to sell them anyway and let's do the necessary.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26We have a silver and a bronze medal.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Could we say £40? 30? 20?
0:41:29 > 0:41:33Thank you, madam. I'm bid 10. 20, thank you, sir.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36I have 20. 30 here. 40.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40- 60 I'm selling. Last call at £60. - GAVEL BANGS
0:41:40 > 0:41:44I can't believe it. That's £10 you didn't get your mitts on
0:41:44 > 0:41:46- cos you didn't trust him.- Exactly.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- Don't tell the Reds a thing. - Not a word.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51- Not a single word.- And all will be revealed in a moment
0:41:51 > 0:41:52cos it could be a winning score.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Well, well, well, well, well.
0:42:00 > 0:42:05Are these two teams playing on the same planet, I ask myself?
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Cos there is such a vast gap between them, I just can't contain myself.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13Anyway, something went really, really badly wrong, I'm afraid,
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- today for the Reds.- Oh!- Yay!
0:42:16 > 0:42:21I mean, there's no denying it, almost across the board.
0:42:21 > 0:42:27That Doulton Coronation jug, Angela, was magnificent.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29- Thank you.- Anyway, the rest of it, we'll just glaze over.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31- Did you have a good time? - Lovely, thank you.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Thank you very much for coming and making our day.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Thank you very much, JP. Better luck next time.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40- Meanwhile, I am actually handing out £7 worth of profit.- Yay!- Yeah!
0:42:40 > 0:42:45That's what I mean about "Are these teams playing on the same planet?"
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Cos it's perfectly possible to make the profit and lose a whole bundle.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Now, anyway, £20 on that wall plaque,
0:42:52 > 0:42:56I'm sure, thanks to your excellent researching there, Peter.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00That was a good move, that. £20 on that. Anyway, thank you so much.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04Take a quick bird's-eye at our website and join us soon
0:43:04 > 0:43:07- for some more bargain-hunting, yes? ALL:- Yes!
