0:00:03 > 0:00:061642 to 1648.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Civil war rages throughout England,
0:00:09 > 0:00:12and castles, just like this one, here in Newark,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14come under constant siege.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16It can feel like that on Bargain Hunt
0:00:16 > 0:00:19when the teams battle it out to win the biggest profit.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22So, let combat commence.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24So, let's arm ourselves and go bargain-hunting!
0:00:47 > 0:00:51So, no Roundheads or Cavaliers here today, just two teams,
0:00:51 > 0:00:53each armed with £300.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56And the winning team will be the one who makes the biggest profit,
0:00:56 > 0:01:01or, of course, makes the smallest loss, which can sometimes happen.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03So, let's see what's coming up.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05The Reds have expensive tastes.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- I'm asking £1,200.- Well, there we go.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Whilst the Blues have lower standards.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- What do you think?- I have no idea.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15It looks nice. I'll go with it.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18The auctioneer pulls out all the stops for the Reds...
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I'm asking 15, 18, 22, 25.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23He's doing all he can for you.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25..And has the Blues in suspense.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Come on. Come on, madam.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Yes!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Now, for today's show, we have two young married couples.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43For the Red team, we have Stuart and Anna-Marie,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45and for the Blue team, we have Dan and Camilla.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Hello, everyone.- Hello!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Ooh! A deafening sound!
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Now, Stuart, you have a slightly different life nowadays to
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- your former job, don't you? - That's correct.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57I'm a mechanical engineer now,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01but I was in the Royal Marines for ten years.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04And I run military-style boot camps,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07also, and survival schools, in my spare time.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- It's a little quieter on the boot camps, now?- Yep. Well, not a lot
0:02:11 > 0:02:14quieter, but a little bit quieter on the boot camps.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Now, you're a teacher, aren't you?- I am.- Yeah?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- A primary school teacher.- A primary school- but that's taken you
0:02:19 > 0:02:21all round the world, Anna-Marie, hasn't it?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25It has. I've been to South Africa, Cambodia,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27and Palestine in Jerusalem, as well.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Really? That must have been quite challenging?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31It really was, yeah. It was much more difficult
0:02:31 > 0:02:33than I actually thought it would be.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Really?- But I did really enjoy it. - It's usually rewarding, though.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Very.- Yeah, yeah.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40And now you are back at home, back in teaching.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- Back in your old school. - Back in your old school.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44And, so what do you do when you're not teaching?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Do you go to his boot camps and things?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- When I'm made to. - When you're made to?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Are you going to spend big or small?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57I'd like to say big, but I think we'll go middle of the park.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I always think the less you can leave your expert with, the better.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02It's all about you.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Now, moving swiftly on to this wonderful Blue team,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07our musicians, here on the left.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Now, Daniel, from the Potteries, aren't you?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I'm from Telford, around that area.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14We live in Stoke on Trent, at the moment.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- And Camilla, you come from Brazil? - Yeah, I do.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19So, Dan, how did that happen? How did you meet?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23We met in Brazil. My band went on tour for two weeks in 2009,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26so we were on a two week sell-out tour.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I was talking to Cam
0:03:28 > 0:03:31probably a month beforehand, online.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34And she met us at the airport, with the fans as well. And that's it.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- She came on tour with us. - The fans? You have fans?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Yeah, we had fans waiting.- How exciting.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Yeah, it was awesome. We had fans waiting for us at the airport.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- What's the band called? - "Waiting for Hollywood",
0:03:44 > 0:03:46but the last band that I was in is "Hill Valley High."
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Hill Valley High, now Waiting for Hollywood.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Now, you're also a musician, aren't you?- Yes, I am.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- But you are...- I play the bass.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- ..right-handed or left-handed? - Right-handed.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- You're not a Paul McCartney, then? - No.- No?- No.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02When you're not doing this sort of thing,
0:04:02 > 0:04:03- how do you relax?- Doing this.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- That?- Yes.- You're a photographer?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I love photography.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09I did media in college,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12so we learned how to take pictures,
0:04:12 > 0:04:16develop them, and I love that, so when I'm doing this, I'm doing that.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18So, have you discussed tactics for today?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Are you going to be spending big? Small?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Big.- Middle.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Instant harmony. We love that.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Fantastic. Well, good luck today.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Good luck, both of you. You're about to go shopping.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33What are you missing?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- The lolly.- The lolly.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I've got the lolly.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Now, Reds. £300 for you.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Blues, just to be strictly fair about this, £300 for you.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- Thank you. - Off you go. Have a great time.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51I think this could be really quite exciting.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Let's meet our experts.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57The Red team have the out-of-this-world Ben Cooper.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01And for the Blues, computer says yes, Natasha Raskin.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08So, are you going to be going for the same kind of stuff? Tell me.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10No, I don't think so.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I'm thinking small, something quirky, something unique.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15What on earth are we looking for today? Dan?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Anything, hopefully, music-related. - Music-related? OK.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- And Camilla, anything in particular? - I say exactly the same.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I'm looking for something silver.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Maybe a teapot.- A bit sparkly? - A bit sparkly.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Well, teams. Your 60 minutes starts now,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33so let's go!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36And as a bass player, you're going to keep us in time? Is that right?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- I will try my best. - Well, time is of the essence
0:05:38 > 0:05:41so let's not mess around.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- There's two violins.- Violins?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- I knew you'd like that. - It's a toy, isn't it?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- It's just a wooden toy. - No, that's rubbish.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50You don't like it? Right, OK. Walk on.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Ooh! Speak your mind, Anna-Marie.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Here's a thing. You've got banjo barometers.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Nothing to do with actual musical instruments, but banjo-shaped.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- That doesn't appeal?- Hmm.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I'm trying to look for, like, metals, and stuff, you know?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Things made solid and sturdy.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09What's this one, here?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Is that just a doorstop?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- Well, that's an iron.- No. That's not for us, Stu.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17It needs to be a more precious metal, I think.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19There's a kind of musical thing over there.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22The deck, there, with the record player,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24and the radio system.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Probably not that one. What do you think?- Carry on.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Too ugly. Too ugly.- I think so.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32OK, teams. Slow down a bit and reflect.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34A hairbrush and mirror set?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- I like this.- Is it silver?- Yeah, that's silver.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38And it would have been part of a full set.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Originally, when it was first made, there would have been
0:06:40 > 0:06:42a couple of brushes, and the mirror.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44That's a clothes brush. You'd have also had your hairbrush.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47There would have been lots of other parts to it.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Now, what's nice here is that it looks
0:06:49 > 0:06:51in wonderful condition, the silver.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Very clear hallmark on the side for Birmingham.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I would have thought it's around about 1910.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Well, it's silver and it's sparkly, so, I like it.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Shall we have a look at it. - Yes, please.- Yeah?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05We'd like to have a look.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Oh, look. Thank you.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Thank you.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12There you go.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14What you can see is that the brush
0:07:14 > 0:07:16has got slightly overzealously cleaned,
0:07:16 > 0:07:20but it's the mirror which has the main part of the value.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23You can see that the actual mirror plate itself is in good condition.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Yeah. Do you want to make an offer on it?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Yeah. Let's go for it.- Yeah?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- What is your bottom... Er... bottom?- £48.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34£48?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Could you go £40?- £45?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Can we go for that, then? Fantastic.- There you go.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41That's your first one done very quickly. Marvellous.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Thank you very much.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Nice work, Reds. Ten minutes gone and one item bagged.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Don't worry, Stewart.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I'm sure Anna-Marie will let you choose the next one.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52The Blues still have music in mind.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I mean, it sort of looks kind of 70s-80s to me.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Yeah, round about that.- Do they have a lot of auction appeal?.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- I don't think so.- Very narrow?- Yeah. Very narrow. OK.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Absolutely pristine.
0:08:03 > 0:08:09I think we can safely say that that was made yesterday.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11So, still no headway there, then.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Stuart's still desperate for something macho, though.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18I'm trying to just keep my eyes open for something that's a bit more...
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Blokey.- Masculine.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Because we are men.- We are men.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Just keep telling yourself that, fellas.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30The Blues finally seem to have moved on from their music mania.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I know we're thinking music, but I bet that Dan
0:08:32 > 0:08:36and I have a shared sort of memory of these kinds of desks at school.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39And in Brazil, is this the sort of thing you would see at school?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- I've never seen that before. - You've never seen that before?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43But it sounds interesting.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Do you want to each take a hinge? - Yeah. Yeah.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47See if there are any hidden treasures?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I mean, it looks quite good, doesn't it?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- A little bit of graffiti. - Oh, look. People wrote things.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Dan loves Cam. That sort of thing.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58This was my desk!
0:08:58 > 0:09:00It's not going to be a huge auction estimate.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01But it would be 20-40 quid.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04So, if we could try and buy it for around that £20 mark,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I think we'd be doing really well.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08But at auction, old furniture is tricky to sell.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11But vintage furniture is sort of hot right now.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Shall I have a try, yeah?- You want to do it? You want to take the lead?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Yeah. I'm going to take the lead. - OK. Lead singer. Take it away.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- OK, let's do it. Let's do it.- What's your best offer on the little desk?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26We've got £30 on it. I'd take £25 for it?
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Do you think...?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- I think £25 is very cheap. - £25 is cheap.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- I was thinking £12.50 a half. - That's some good pitch.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- Can we make a tenner each side and make it £20?- Go on, then.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- That's all right, isn't it? I think you should grab his hand.- Thank you.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48That is well done. Let's carry on. Thank you, sir.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Well, it's not exactly musical, but they can see a profit in it.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Over with the Reds, and Stuart's found something right up his street.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I have no idea what that is.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Let me help you.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04It's a surveyor's tool for measuring levels.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07You'd probably have had to stand, so you'd stand on something.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09You'd normally have another man stood 100 metres away with
0:10:09 > 0:10:12a marker, and then you would look through the eyepiece
0:10:12 > 0:10:15and you'd have to size up until you get the correct
0:10:15 > 0:10:17angle to work out your height in triangulation.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Now, I know, Anna, you're a teacher
0:10:19 > 0:10:22but I think Stuart's now giving us a good lesson.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- This would be sort of late Victorian- It is, yeah. It is.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29And on the side, here, there's this beautiful copperplate script
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Stanley, Great Turnstile,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Holborn, London.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Actually, this is a wonderful thing. - I like it.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I mean, there's lots of information also inside here.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Obviously, you get the company, as well. So this is the box it came in.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47And it's in lovely, original condition. Anna?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Come on. Tell us, what you're feeling?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I'm not sure, actually, Stu.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Really?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57It's your choice. It's your choice.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I think it's a nice piece. I think it's a good box.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03And for the age, as well. I mean, looking on it,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I think it's got markings for...
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- 1926.- 1926?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Yep. And that was when it was repaired and adjusted.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11So, it was sent back to Stanley.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14You can see how they've changed their label.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16They've modernised their design.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19It's lovely to still have its original, fitted box.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23£145 on it, which is not a lot of money
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- for a wonderful bit of kit. - I wouldn't spend £140 on this.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I, personally, if I was buying this for myself, I would.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- How long have you two been married? - You're not buying it for yourself.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Three months.- Three months? Marvellous, marvellous.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36We'll find a divorce lawyer in a minute.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I think we should keep looking but I want to keep this
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- on the back burner. - On your back burner?- Yeah.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Well, shall we ask the lady what the absolute best is on it,
0:11:44 > 0:11:45and then it's food for thought?
0:11:45 > 0:11:49I think that would be good, yeah, if we find out what we can do it for.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Right, so what is it you can do it for?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- The absolute best price would be £120.- £120. OK.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57What's the old saying, Anna-Marie?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Over with the Blue team,
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Cam has turned to her other great passion.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Is she a good photographer, Dan? - Yes.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- She's actually really good! - Have you ever been her subject?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- I have, yes.- Are you her muse? - I am her muse.- Oh, my goodness.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15This is so beautiful.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17OK. So, it's definitely vintage.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Yes. Look at the case!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21OK. So, what have we got.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24First of all, we want a good maker that we all recognise.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25- Yeah.- Do we have that?
0:12:25 > 0:12:29We are looking for even a Kodak, or a Zenith, something like that?
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Do you think that's a brand?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33AGFA. But it is quite cool, isn't it?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35It's almost got a sort of espionage feel to it. I don't know.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It seems like something that would fit into your pocket.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40And a Russian spy would just pull it out.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44It's got a sort of Cold War feel about it.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I mean, as a photographer, a keen, budding photographer, anyway...
0:12:47 > 0:12:52- I think I'd try and find a brand that we know more about.- OK.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54It's a start because I think they're quite trendy at auction.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57If we can find one that has a bit more of a history to it
0:12:57 > 0:13:01when it comes to the branding then maybe we're onto a winner.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03OK, teams. Half an hour gone.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06So, might I suggest you step up the pace?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10In the post-war period, glass manufacture changed enormously.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13There was different designs, colours.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17After the austerity of the Second World War...
0:13:17 > 0:13:20While Ben continues his monologue on glass,
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- let's catch up with the Blues. - That is a nice thing, isn't it?
0:13:24 > 0:13:29For ten quid. Oh. For goodness' sake. Well, it was a lovely thing.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I mean, you've got two tier.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34When it's closed, it looks like a nice occasional table.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36It's a sewing box inside.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38You open it up and you've got all the compartments.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I don't think we should go for another piece of furniture.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- I think we should have a look for something else.- Yeah?- Yes.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Good plan, Blues. I like your thinking.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Now, have the Reds moved on?
0:13:49 > 0:13:54New technology created by the war was then used in civilian
0:13:54 > 0:13:57manufacturing, so they were able to bring out different styles,
0:13:57 > 0:14:00they were able to use different techniques, within their...
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Ben, I think you're losing them.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06So, is glass talking to you?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08No.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09No.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10No.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- LAUGHTER - Never mind, eh?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Maybe next time, old boy.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- Time is ticking.- You're not wrong!
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Each team still has two items to buy and 15 minutes left.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Things are getting desperate.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- How much have you got on the Japanese lacquer?- I'm asking 1,200.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Well, there we go.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Price wise, at the other end of the scale,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33the Blues have found some bookends.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35It says damaged, hence the price.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I think that our damage might be, if I pass that to you...
0:14:38 > 0:14:41I think our damage might be this section here. You can see that?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- It's glued, yes. - So it's come right off.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46But actually, it's been quite a clean break
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- and it could be quite easily repaired.- Yeah.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Is Art Deco something that you're in to?- Yeah, I like it.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- What do you think?- I've no idea.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- It looks nice, I'll go with it. - I'm quite keen on these, actually.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Me too. Me too. - Very defined in structure.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05And then we've got some sort of gilded metal here.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09It's likely to be a spelter base, so not a fine precious metal,
0:15:09 > 0:15:13but certainly a composite metal that we can easily mould.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- I mean, £22, so if we can get between 10 and 15...- OK.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20..then we're doing all right. Go for it, girl.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Hi. What's the best you can do for that?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- It's broken, I mean... - It is damaged, yes.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29And considering the damage, I'll do those for £15.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- OK, best is 15.- What do you think? - I'm happy with 15.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Can't really go wrong with £15. - Yeah.- Nope.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- I think we should go for it. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Thank you.- Come on, guys. Ten minutes left and one to buy.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43And, Reds, you still have two.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Come on, kids. We need to buy something.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- Yeah, I like this. - You like that?- That's nice.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Satsuma ware, it's Japanese.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Date wise, around about 1910.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57You've got a mark on the bottom.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00That could well be the artist and it's not one I recognise.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02The gilding's good.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05We're short of time. Shall we just ask how much it is quickly?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- £60.- 50?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- 60.- 60.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- That's more than what I thought, actually.- Can you manage 40?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17No. 50.
0:16:17 > 0:16:1945?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- OK, 45. Yes.- OK.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Do you think?- Yes. - That was nice and quick.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26Crack on then!
0:16:26 > 0:16:29One to go, with just a few minutes left.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Back to you as a photographer.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Is there anything here jumping out to you?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- I like that one.- That's chic, isn't it?- That looks really cool.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- So, collapsible lens, but also portable.- Yes.- That's quite cool.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- Shall we have a closer look? - Yeah, let's have a look.- OK.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- So, we've got its model there, Kodak 66, Model- 3. Wow.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48It's got its case, which is nice. It's...
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I don't know, but it sees to be a lot smoother than the one
0:16:51 > 0:16:54we were holding before. The other one was a bit loose.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- Yeah, it was a bit.- So that one seems to have a bit more snap to it.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- OK.- What do we think about the price? What have we got here?
0:17:01 > 0:17:06So £28. We've got folding camera, Kodak 66.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- OK.- It just looks good.- It does. - It does look good. Yeah.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- That's right. - Who's going to do that?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- With you being a photographer... - How about a joint effort?- Yeah.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- Yeah, let's try both.- Husband and wife together.- Marital arguments...
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- I think I'll leave you to it. - ..aside.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- As low as you can.- OK.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Make it snappy though, Blues.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27The Reds have gone for their fall back plan of the surveyor's
0:17:27 > 0:17:30level, which they haggled down to £120 earlier.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37We are £10 over what we can. Do you think you could drop another £10?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Honestly, I couldn't.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- 120 is the absolute... - 120 is the absolute death on that.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45That is a face which is telling the truth.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Honestly, 120 would be the absolute best.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Richard.- Yeah, I think we'd like to go ahead and purchase it.- Fantastic.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - Well, there we go.- All done.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57That's three items done, we've got
0:17:57 > 0:18:00about three minutes left, not even time for an ice cream.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Did you hear that, Blues? Three minutes!
0:18:03 > 0:18:06What's the best offer that you can do on this?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I've got it marked 28, but you can have it for 20.
0:18:09 > 0:18:1218?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- Yeah, go on... OK, go on then. - OK, and before you shake,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- you're quite confident with that? - Are you happy to buy that one?
0:18:18 > 0:18:24- Have you got any others that you... - Only that one.- Come on, focus!
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Midget. It really is small. Does that collapse as well?- Yeah.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- OK. So a tiny wee handheld camera. - Wow!
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I was thinking people can use this probably now and still...
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- You can use them now. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39So it's more practical for people who want to use it
0:18:39 > 0:18:41and it does work now, so...
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- Yeah.- I think... That's amazing. It's different,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48but I still reckon maybe the sensible option could be this.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- 18 quid. Are you happy to shake on that?- Yes.- Yes.- OK.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- Fantastic, thank you. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Stop!
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Your time is up!
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Let's go and get a cup of tea.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I don't know about you, but I need to sit down. Come on now.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Now, let's see what the Red team have bought.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08First up was the Georgian silverback mirror and brush for £45.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Next was the early 20th century Japanese satsuma sugar
0:19:14 > 0:19:16bowl for another £45.
0:19:18 > 0:19:23Finally, the boxed Stanley surveying sight and level was bought for £120.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Well, Stuart and Anna-Marie, off like the clappers, buy, buy, buy,
0:19:29 > 0:19:33and it all went dead. What went wrong?
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- A little bit of... What's the word? - Hesitation.- Hesitation.- Hesitation.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Lots of hesitation. Almost an hour, wasn't it, Ben?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Yes, we cut it a little fine, but we succeeded.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Are you pleased with what you bought?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Yeah, really pleased, yeah.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- So, what's your favourite item?- Mine is the architect's engineering tool.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- The architect's engineering tool. - Yes.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- That won't be your favourite, will it?- No. Definitely not.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- What's yours? - The silver mirror and brush.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02And what's going to make the biggest profit?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- We're undecided between the architect's tool and...- No!
0:20:06 > 0:20:08No! No, certainly not!
0:20:08 > 0:20:13- But you seem to think the satsuma... Um...- Yeah, the Japanese vase.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Yeah, anything Japanese is quite good news, isn't it?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- How much did you spend in all? - A total of £210.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- That's good, isn't it, Ben? - Yes.- You got them spending!
0:20:22 > 0:20:25They've spent a bit of money and they've left enough for me.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- So, you know...- Just enough for you. - Just enough.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30You don't want to leave this man with too much. A dangerous ploy.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- So, I reckon, by my maths, you've got £90 to give me.- That's correct.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- £90.- There you go, Ben.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- What are you going to do with that? - Something shiny possibly.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Because I know Anna-Marie likes shiny
0:20:41 > 0:20:44and she's been a bit let down by something very blokey.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45But we'll see.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- I think there's a lot to look at, so... Yeah.- Brilliant.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51So, while Ben goes off to spend his money,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54let's see what the Blue team have bought.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58They chalked up the wooden double school desk for £20.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Next, they fawned over the Art Deco bookends, paying £15 for the pair.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12In the dying seconds, they purchased the folding Kodak camera for £18.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Dan and Camilla, where are your musical instruments?- Yeah, I know.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- You promised me musical instruments. - I know. I'm sorry.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- We couldn't find any good things. - We found a camera though.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- No musical instruments, no singing...- No.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29..and how much did you spend?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32It was a lot. We spent £53.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36For goodness' sake! Natasha, couldn't you get them going?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40That's what happens under my watch, Charlie. Cheap but not common.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Oh! So, what's your favourite item?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- I would say the camera.- The camera? - Yeah, it looks cool.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46And the biggest profit?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- I think the desk.- The desk. - Possibly.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50The school desk.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Now, you spent 53. That leaves 247.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58Giving Natasha Raskin £247 is frankly the riskiest thing
0:21:58 > 0:22:00you will ever do in your life.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04- There you are, my dear. - Thank you, Charlie.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06What are you going to do with it?
0:22:06 > 0:22:10I've got to spend a big chunk of this, come on. I'm itching to do it.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13So, while Natasha goes off shopping with that enormous
0:22:13 > 0:22:16amount of money, I'm off to somewhere rather special.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Famous the world over,
0:22:23 > 0:22:27the great British pub is an unique institution.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31However, the concept of a drinking venue was first
0:22:31 > 0:22:34introduced by the Romans some 2,000 years ago.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Now, the Romans called these drinking venues tabernae and they
0:22:40 > 0:22:44were built for the Roman army at a time when ale was the local brew.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49The tabernae became tavern, which became pub,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52a place with which we're very familiar today.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55# Another little drink and another little drink
0:22:55 > 0:22:58# Another little drink won't do us any harm... #
0:22:58 > 0:23:02And of course, it's the pub that's home to the humble pint.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Served as a specific measure since the late 17th century,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08it's still at the heart of a social gathering.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13# And another little drink wouldn't do us any harm. #
0:23:13 > 0:23:17To find out more about the history of the great British pint,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20I'm here to meet Des McGonigle at the National Brewery Museum
0:23:20 > 0:23:22in Burton upon Trent.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Des, you're the head guide here.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Tell me more about beer production in Burton upon Trent.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31By the 1880s, we had 30 breweries in Burton upon Trent.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Bass, William Bass, has got his first brewery in 1777.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Within 100 years, it's one of the biggest
0:23:38 > 0:23:41brewers in the world, producing over one million barrels of beer a year.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- A million barrels. - A million barrels of beer a year.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46How was all the beer distributed to the pubs?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49By horses, mostly Shire horses.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52They would also use Clydesdales and Suffolks as well.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55So, bigger horses, bigger wagons, smaller horses, smaller wagons.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Yeah. And they were called drays? - Drays, yes.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03- Could we have a look at a dray?- Of course you can. There's one over there waiting for us.- Thank you.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14- Just how important were these drays to the brewery? - The drays were really important,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16not just for actually delivering the beer to the local pubs,
0:24:16 > 0:24:20but also for use within the brewery yards to transport material from
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- one side of the yard to the other, but also from different breweries. - Yeah, yeah.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28And when were horses superseded by a different sort of horsepower?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31The big decline came after the First World War.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35A number of horses were taken off obviously to serve
0:24:35 > 0:24:39in the First World War and by about 1919, Bass had 120 horses left.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42By this time, a lot of movement within the brewery yards was
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- done by tractors.- Yes. - And then some of the wagons were used to deliver beer,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50also tractors were used to pull them around.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53The last Bass horse was a horse called Monty.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55He actually died in the 1960s,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57but his last working day was in the '50s.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- In the '50s, as late as that?- Yes. - Yeah.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03So, Des, can you talk me through these two vehicles behind?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05The vehicle to the left is a Leyland Beaver.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09It was built in 1949, belonged Mitchell and Butler's brewery,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12in Birmingham, and that vehicle is roadworthy today.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15ALE 1, which is the correct numberplate for that vehicle...
0:25:15 > 0:25:17It's a real numberplate?
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Yeah, we use this one daily
0:25:18 > 0:25:21and that is basically based on a Ford Transit van.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Looks like a Model T Ford, not a Ford Transit.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Inside, sometimes we have a bar put in,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29so we put the hatch down, have some beers in there.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Well, I don't know if you can arrange this,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34but could I have a lift to the saleroom, please?
0:25:34 > 0:25:38- Course you can.- Thank you. - Barry, off you go.- Ooh!
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Quite exciting!
0:25:44 > 0:25:47It's a quick canter to the saleroom in Derby to meet me
0:25:47 > 0:25:49old mate Charles Hanson.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- Do you know where I was this morning?- No, tell me.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- The National Brewery Museum. - Were you really?- Yes.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57And I brought you a present.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- You haven't.- I have.- Oh, you have. Thank you very much.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- That's really kind. - Well, put it down there.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Don't drink it till afterwards. - Only for a good auction, OK? - Absolutely.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Now, we're going to kick off with the Red team,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- who no doubt you can wax lyrical about...- Charlie, this is great.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Look at the dressing table set.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15What really excites me
0:26:15 > 0:26:18is the crispness of the actual embossed work.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22We haven't seen lots of polish slowly create holes...
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- Well, we have a little bit.- Have we? - Have you looked carefully.- I have.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28You've got to look more carefully, Charles.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- Inspection, inspection, inspection. - Yes, I can see.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34On the actual hand mirror, condition's lovely.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38It's got almost this dull patination about it.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41What I love is it was made in the year the Titanic sank.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45George V, it's got a bit of romance...
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Having heard all that, it must be a substantial estimate.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52I hope it'll make between 25 and £35. It'll do very well.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Not quite enough.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58- Cost 45.- Oh, did it?- Yes. Shall we move swiftly on?- Yes, OK.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Satsuma twin handled sucriere and cover.- Yes.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06We like detail, we like intricacy and this satsuma is a bit late.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Rather than being, shall we say, early Meiji, more like 1880,
0:27:10 > 0:27:11this is more like late export made,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14but it's still very decorative, in good condition.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Do you like it? - I'm a bit the same as you.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20It needs to be earlier and it just has to have better detail,
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- doesn't it?- Yes. What's nice about it is it's complete, the condition is good.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26I would guide it at auction today,
0:27:26 > 0:27:30wind blowing across the Midlands, between 30 and £40.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- Yep well, that's nearly as much as they paid.- Good.- 45.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38- Yeah, OK.- That's not too bad. - At a push and a shove, we might get there.- That would be good.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42And then we've got this item here. Tell me about it.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Yeah, my knowledge isn't really scientific. I'm more of a...
0:27:45 > 0:27:48You're artistic, aren't you, Charles?
0:27:48 > 0:27:52- I'm romantic, Charlie, rather than being an engineering type.- Romantic!
0:27:52 > 0:27:55It's a nice object. It's got that all-important name on it, Stanley.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00- Yeah.- They rose in the 1860s, the great man himself died in 1909.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04This is all complete, which is important. How do you use it?
0:28:04 > 0:28:06- Do you know?- Yes.- Tell me.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09When I first left school and I joined a firm of surveyors
0:28:09 > 0:28:12and auctioneers, I used one of these surveyor's levels.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14It's a vital part of surveying equipment.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Wowee. So, circa...
0:28:16 > 0:28:20I suppose it must be, in period wise, it's 1900, but...
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- A little bit later, I think. - You were using this in what - 1935?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25How dare you!
0:28:25 > 0:28:261935!
0:28:26 > 0:28:29I know I'm old, Charles, but I'm not that old!
0:28:29 > 0:28:30You're a wise man, Charlie.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35But it's something which I really hope will just touch £100.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36- It cost 120.- OK.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- So we're doing all right here. - Yes, we are, Charlie.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- Hopefully, at a push, yes.- Yes.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44But of course, if it doesn't quite go according to plan,
0:28:44 > 0:28:46they might need their bonus buy.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- How much did you leave him with?- £90.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54£90. Did you feel happy leaving Ben with £90?
0:28:54 > 0:28:56No, I wanted to leave him less.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Ben, were you happy to have £90?
0:28:58 > 0:29:03- Well, it was enough to go out and buy something interesting.- Yep.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05But I also decided that I had to go and find something which I think
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Anna-Marie will go, "Ooh!"
0:29:08 > 0:29:12- Anna-Marie. No pressure, but let's have a look.- Right.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Ooh!
0:29:13 > 0:29:15LAUGHTER
0:29:15 > 0:29:16You see?!
0:29:16 > 0:29:19While we were going around, I spotted this.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21I mean, it's a kettle. So, it's got the burner.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22It's in good condition.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26It's a bit yesterday's antique, in one respect, but then again,
0:29:26 > 0:29:28these used to be well over £100.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- 150.- They were.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- I'd have thought so. 1890-1900, yeah.- Yeah.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37You know, there's room for a bit of profit, I hope.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39What do you reckon I paid for it?
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- What do you think? I think...45? - No.- 50?- Maybe a bit more.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- 50.- 50.- Mm.- Not bad. Happy with that?
0:29:48 > 0:29:52- Yeah, I think so.- Yeah. - That wasn't unqualified, was it?!
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- It's silver plated. - Silver plate. All right. OK.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57You paid £50. What do you think it could make?
0:29:57 > 0:30:01It could squeeze up to 60-65.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Well, there could be a slim profit, perhaps.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Let's see what the auctioneer thinks about it.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Here comes that bonus buy that Ben bought.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16It is so elegant. I love this, almost, classical ornamentation,
0:30:16 > 0:30:20almost, Athenian, which sits so well, and then you have got this,
0:30:20 > 0:30:23almost, Victorian, very rustic stand.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26I love that, sort of, arboreal base.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27I think it's fab.
0:30:27 > 0:30:32Its mould wood, almost, base, complete with its burner, as well.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35And it is an object from, probably 1895.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37And is it going to fly?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40They are out of fashion. They're not practical.
0:30:40 > 0:30:45On a really good day, it might make £40.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- Well, it cost £50.- Right. OK.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- That's the Reds. Shall we have a look at the Blues?- Can't wait.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- We start off with the school desk. - It is interesting, Charlie, we hear,
0:30:55 > 0:30:58in the auction market now, there is interest in those words
0:30:58 > 0:31:02like "vintage retro" and this school desk is, what,
0:31:02 > 0:31:04the second quarter, 20th century?
0:31:04 > 0:31:08- It ought to make £20 all day long. - Good. Well, that's what it cost,
0:31:08 > 0:31:10so they might just about safe there.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- I predict, Charlie, a profit there. - What about the bookends?
0:31:13 > 0:31:17I think they are quite exotic. I think they're decorative.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- Probably no earlier than, maybe, 1980s.- Yeah.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24But they have got a look about them. We have put a guide price on
0:31:24 > 0:31:28- of £20-£30.- Good news. Do you know, they only paid £15.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Charlie, you never know, but I'm confident.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34- What about the camera?- The camera, Charlie, if there is one market
0:31:34 > 0:31:36that has really moved in the last three years,
0:31:36 > 0:31:39it's the collectors' market, particularly vintage cameras.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44This Kodak 66 was the last fold-away camera in production and came out
0:31:44 > 0:31:48- in the years 1958-60. Did you have one of these?- I did.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52In 19...6...4.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54- Wow.- And I used it.- Did you, really?
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- I think I have still got some slides from it.- Have you really?!
0:31:57 > 0:32:01It is a collectors' market. This was a fairly mass-produced type,
0:32:01 > 0:32:04but even so, we hope, on a really good day,
0:32:04 > 0:32:08it's going to make 10, 15, 20. Who knows? It could even make 25.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- It cost just £18.- Good, Charlie.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- So, it's not bad, is it? - Yep, there's hope there.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16- I feel a bit of a profit coming on...- Good.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20..on possibly all three items, which means, they might not need
0:32:20 > 0:32:23their bonus buy. But, of course, just in case they do,
0:32:23 > 0:32:25let's have a look at it.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31You left Natasha with £247!
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Is that not a dangerous tactic?!
0:32:34 > 0:32:36What do you think, Natasha?
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Well, I was quite excited to have all that money.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41I fact, it is probably the largest amount
0:32:41 > 0:32:44of leftover lolly I have ever been left, so I thought,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47"Now is my opportunity to spend."
0:32:47 > 0:32:49And spend, I did, on...
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- Oh! - ..our favourite little work table.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53Do you remember it?
0:32:53 > 0:32:57- Yes, I do, yeah.- Let me reveal the interior to you again.
0:32:57 > 0:33:03- Oh!- See, it just glides... - Oh!- ..so beautifully...- Gosh.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05..to reveal all sorts of bobbins and things.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10It comes with some accessories. I actually couldn't believe how much
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- I spent on it.- Yeah.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13£8.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15LAUGHTER
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Don't you think it's a nice thing? When we looked at this, I thought,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21"Oh, well, 19, maybe, '50s, '60s." I think, in hindsight,
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- probably a wee bit earlier. - It's earlier. If we said 1940,
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- I don't think we'd be far off. - It's a nice thing.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30It could do with a wee French polish on the wood.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33I'm not sure - mahogany, walnut. It's a good-quality thing, anyway.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36And the design of tapering legs, it just never goes out of fashion.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39How much do you think we are going to make with this at auction?
0:33:39 > 0:33:42A pretty penny. We cannot fail to make a profit on this.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- It's got to make 20, 25.- Are you happy about it?- Yeah, of course.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- That's good. So, Dan and Camilla are happy.- Yeah.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49Natasha is happy.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Is the auctioneer happy?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56- So, what do you think of it? - What's quite nice with this one
0:33:56 > 0:33:59is the finish, with the sliding top section.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Yeah, and when you slide back the top,
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- the quality inside is extremely good, isn't it?- Very much so.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07From two yards, it looks like mahogany.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10When you really get up close, it's washed walnut.
0:34:10 > 0:34:15- It doesn't quite have that weight of mahogany.- Yes, but nice quality.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19It will probably make between £20 and £30.
0:34:19 > 0:34:25- Do you know, Natasha only paid £8 for it.- £8. That's a real bargain.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Yeah. Well, I simply can't wait for the auction.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32We sell at £65.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- Stuart and Anna-Marie. Have you been to a sale before?- No.- No.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- Never been to an auction?- No. - Oh, how exciting is that?!
0:34:44 > 0:34:46And we've got a good buzz. Here comes your matching
0:34:46 > 0:34:48mirror and brush.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52Very finely-embossed hand mirror and matching brush.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54I am only bid £12.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56I am asking 15, 18, 20, 22. 5.
0:34:56 > 0:34:5825, madam? 25, in pink.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01I have got 8. Bid 30. Bid 30.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05I'm out. 30, I'm bid. Do I see 2 now? £30. Surely 2?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Surely 2?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Come on! Fair warning...
0:35:10 > 0:35:112, 5.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15- 35.- He's doing all he can for you! - Yes!- Come on!
0:35:15 > 0:35:16Bid 40...
0:35:17 > 0:35:20..or I sell it. That's it. Out online,
0:35:20 > 0:35:23at £38. All done.
0:35:24 > 0:35:30Well. Minus £7. People have done a lot worse with their first lots.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34Historically, I would say that is something of a triumph.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Now, we have the Satsuma pottery twin-handled sucrier and cover.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40I am only bid...£12.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- I am asking £15.- £12?!- 15, 18, 20.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45£20. 22, 25.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47I'm out. Come on, it's a good object this.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Full of Eastern vigour. 25.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Surely 8? I sell to the lady. That's it.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56- He's begging!- 25. Going once...going twice...
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- At £25.- 25.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01That's minus 20.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04So, we are down 27, but now, we've got
0:36:04 > 0:36:07the Stanley surveying sight and level.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11Look at this. It is a really good object. 40, I'm bid. Do I see 5 now?
0:36:11 > 0:36:1340, I'm bid. Surely 5?
0:36:13 > 0:36:1850, 5, 60, 5, 70, 5. How about 85. Do I see 2?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Got to go. Fair warning. Bid me 2.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- 80.- By commission. I'll take 2.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26For the first time... I'll take 2. Good object.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- We're only losing £40(!) - I'm out. Surely, a fiver?
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Come on. Good object. Make no mistake.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35We're live in the saleroom. Fair warning.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37At £82.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40£82. Goodness me.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44That means you have lost 38, 48, 58, £65.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48So, down £65. Now, you have this big choice.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Do you go with Ben's super
0:36:51 > 0:36:57bonus buy, the electro-plated kettle on a stand? He paid £50 for it.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- Yep.- OK.- You're going with the bonus buy? You have confidence
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- in this man? - No, I think it's desperation!
0:37:05 > 0:37:08There we are. This wonderful kettle. 57. Late Victorian,
0:37:08 > 0:37:11could be Edwardian, just.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13And I am bid here only £10.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Oh, no! £10.
0:37:15 > 0:37:1812, 15, 18, 20, 2.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22I'm out. Look at this object. At £22. Surely a fiver now? At 22.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24At 22. Surely 5?
0:37:24 > 0:37:29- It's a lot for the money. - Are you sure, sir? 25. Bid 8
0:37:29 > 0:37:33or I sell to the lady seated. Fair warning. I am asking 8
0:37:33 > 0:37:36or I sell, at £25.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38That's it.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39GAVEL BANGS
0:37:39 > 0:37:40Well, that's a loss of 25.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44That rounds you up to a very neat minus 90.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48Now, don't worry. 90 can be a winning score
0:37:48 > 0:37:51and, remember, not a word to the Blues.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- Have you seen the auctioneer?- Yeah. - He's a performer. Like yourselves,
0:38:02 > 0:38:06he is a performer. Like Natasha. She's a performer.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07This is the moment.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11We can't put it off any more. We're coming up, with the school desk.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15A wooden double school pine desk,
