The market town of Brackley in Northamptonshire

0:00:020:00:05

is an ancient borough,

0:00:050:00:06

which played an important role in medieval times.

0:00:060:00:09

Indeed, it was here, in 1215,

0:00:120:00:15

that the barons met representatives of King John

0:00:150:00:17

to present their demands before the sealing of the Magna Carta.

0:00:170:00:21

And today, the town plays host to another important meeting

0:00:210:00:25

between the Reds and the Blues.

0:00:250:00:27

Will they make history or will they be consigned to oblivion?

0:00:270:00:30

Let's find out. Let's go Bargain Hunting!

0:00:300:00:34

The Antique Cellar, here in the town, has 30,000 square feet,

0:00:590:01:02

bursting at the seams, full of items for our teams to get their hands on.

0:01:020:01:06

But they will be up against the clock,

0:01:080:01:11

with three bargains to find and only one hour. Can our teams do it?

0:01:110:01:15

Let's take a look at what's coming up.

0:01:150:01:17

The Reds make a meal of their shop...

0:01:190:01:21

-What better name for a tuck box than Crisp?

-Yes.

0:01:210:01:24

..while the Blues blow their own trumpet.

0:01:240:01:27

RASPY BLOW

0:01:270:01:29

Ooh, dear. Oh, no. That sounds like...

0:01:290:01:31

That sounds like the TV's gone funny.

0:01:310:01:34

At the auction, the Blues play it cool...

0:01:340:01:37

-Yes!

-This is brilliant!

0:01:370:01:40

..and the Reds splash out.

0:01:400:01:42

Dinner's on us.

0:01:420:01:44

Let's meet our teams for today.

0:01:450:01:47

We have friends Lucy and Sean for the Reds, and for the Blues,

0:01:470:01:50

-we have father and son Keith and Callum. Hello, teams. ALL:

-Hello!

0:01:500:01:54

Hello. My goodness. So, Reds. Lucy, how did you meet Sean?

0:01:540:01:59

We met at work. We work for the local college.

0:01:590:02:02

We both teach adult and community learning courses.

0:02:020:02:06

Brilliant. So, who do you teach?

0:02:060:02:08

I teach the elderly and LLDD learners,

0:02:080:02:11

so people with learning difficulties.

0:02:110:02:14

I teach art therapy courses.

0:02:140:02:15

You do upcycling as well, is that right?

0:02:150:02:18

Yeah, I like to get old pieces of furniture.

0:02:180:02:20

I'm quite handy with a sewing machine, so I'll re-cover things.

0:02:200:02:23

I bought a chair, once, for about £30 from a salvage yard

0:02:230:02:27

-and I resold it on, through my shop at the time, for about £140.

-Hey!

0:02:270:02:32

-So, I'm hoping to do well today.

-Wow, that sounds amazing.

0:02:320:02:35

-Is there anything you CAN'T do?

-I can't do techy things.

0:02:350:02:38

-Can't do techy things.

-Hence Sean.

-So, that's where Sean is.

0:02:380:02:41

Sean's the techy brain of the relationship. My goodness.

0:02:410:02:45

-And do you teach as well?

-I do.

0:02:450:02:47

-I teach web design and social media for businesses.

-Right, OK.

0:02:470:02:52

So, it's people looking to start out in the industry

0:02:520:02:55

or people who are maybe retiring and starting their own businesses

0:02:550:02:58

or helping out other family members.

0:02:580:03:01

Brilliant. So, as friends, will you work well as a team together?

0:03:010:03:06

-I think so.

-Yeah.

0:03:060:03:07

We're different enough, so Lucy's very passionate about things

0:03:070:03:12

-and I'll probably be more cautious.

-Right.

-The voice of reason.

-OK.

0:03:120:03:18

Well, very best of luck with that, Reds. Let's meet our Blues.

0:03:180:03:21

-We've got father and son, Keith and Callum. Welcome.

-Hello.

0:03:210:03:25

So, Keith, you are a practice manager for an accountancy firm.

0:03:250:03:29

-That's right, yeah.

-But it's only a part-time job,

0:03:290:03:31

so what do you do for the rest of the days of the week?

0:03:310:03:34

I'm actually a volunteer at the local theatre

0:03:340:03:37

and part of my job there is I'm the comedy booker.

0:03:370:03:40

How big is the theatre?

0:03:400:03:42

The theatre is only a 300-seater but we get all the big names,

0:03:420:03:45

like Michael McIntyre, Lee Evans, Jo Brand, Sean Lock, Jon Richardson.

0:03:450:03:49

Fantastic. So they start...

0:03:490:03:51

Before they go to these big arena tours,

0:03:510:03:53

-they come to you and do a slightly more intimate...

-Yeah.

0:03:530:03:56

What they call work-in-progress shows, generally.

0:03:560:03:59

-Do you ever tread the boards yourself?

-It's been known, yeah.

0:03:590:04:03

Because I run a theatre group that I started about 26 years ago

0:04:030:04:08

and we do pantomimes and we do a musical every year

0:04:080:04:11

and I have appeared in several pantos over the years,

0:04:110:04:15

-as the genie and fairy godfather and other things.

-Fairy godfather?

0:04:150:04:19

That's very 21st century. I like it.

0:04:190:04:21

Yeah, got to have a bit of a twist in there, haven't you?

0:04:210:04:24

-Callum, does Dad ever drag you into these shows?

-He does, yes.

-Does he?

0:04:240:04:29

I was dragged into it. It was good fun. It was good.

0:04:290:04:32

-What roles were you given?

-Well, my best role was in We Will Rock You.

0:04:320:04:37

I played the part of Pop and it was like a comedy part, like a hippy.

0:04:370:04:43

-Peace, man.

-So, what do you do in your spare time?

0:04:430:04:48

I like to play football.

0:04:480:04:49

-Is that something that you do together as a family?

-No.

-No?

0:04:490:04:52

-Definitely not, no.

-No, he wouldn't set foot on the pitch.

-Oh, really?

0:04:520:04:56

-No.

-Oh!

-Totally not active, are you, Dad?

0:04:560:05:00

-Thanks. Thanks for that.

-Um...

-THEY LAUGH

0:05:000:05:04

-Ah.

-No, we go to the football together.

-Yeah.

0:05:040:05:07

So, you go and watch football together.

0:05:070:05:09

Yeah, big Leicester City fans.

0:05:090:05:11

You're obviously both quite sporty. Are you quite competitive?

0:05:110:05:14

-Very competitive, yeah.

-OK.

0:05:140:05:17

-We're going to thrash the pants off them today.

-Yeah.

-Oh, my goodness!

0:05:170:05:21

-Guys.

-Not a chance.

-Competitive. Fighting talk, OK.

0:05:210:05:26

-Well, what do you need to buy things?

-£300?

-£300.

0:05:260:05:30

Here we go, teams. It's the big money moment.

0:05:300:05:33

-Right, we've got £300 for the Reds.

-Thank you.

0:05:330:05:37

-Going straight over to Sean. I like it.

-He's the boss!

-He's the boss.

0:05:370:05:41

And there you go, Keith. £300. Your experts await.

0:05:410:05:44

Now, off you go. Enjoy.

0:05:440:05:47

Ooh, I think we've got a battle royal on our hands today.

0:05:470:05:51

Let's meet our experts.

0:05:520:05:54

Hoping to bring home the bacon for the Reds, it's Charlie Ross.

0:05:550:05:59

The Blues will be hit for six, as they have Catherine Southon.

0:06:000:06:04

-Are you looking forward to this?

-Yep.

-A lot. Yes!

-Good, good!

0:06:040:06:08

So, Keith, what would you really like to buy today?

0:06:080:06:11

-I'd like to find something to do with horse racing.

-Horse racing!

0:06:110:06:15

-What are we going to be looking for?

-Something amazing.

0:06:150:06:18

Something amazing.

0:06:180:06:19

Are we going to be quick or turning over every single stone?

0:06:190:06:22

-No, we're going to go for it.

-Are we?

-Yeah.

-We're going to be quick?

0:06:220:06:25

PHONE RINGS

0:06:250:06:27

News just in. Time starts now.

0:06:290:06:31

Come on, let's get walking.

0:06:310:06:33

Right, come on. Follow me. I know where we should be going.

0:06:330:06:37

-CATHERINE:

-There we are. It's a saddle.

-It's a saddle.

0:06:370:06:42

-Not quite what I was thinking.

-Not quite what you were thinking.

-No.

0:06:420:06:45

This is rather smart, isn't it?

0:06:450:06:46

-This is rather like a very posh drawing room.

-Very regal.

0:06:460:06:49

It's lovely, isn't it?

0:06:490:06:51

Sometimes it's an idea to just find an area, like this, for example,

0:06:510:06:56

and then just... Oh, horses.

0:06:560:07:00

-They're winged horses, so a bit mythical.

-Not too sure about that.

0:07:000:07:04

Little pocket watch.

0:07:040:07:05

-What do you think of this?

-That's quite cool.

-Phone.

0:07:060:07:09

-I love those old phones.

-It's got a funny end, though.

0:07:090:07:12

-Do you reckon it would work?

-Hello? Hello?

0:07:120:07:15

Do you know what that drawer is?

0:07:150:07:18

No, I was going to ask you the same thing.

0:07:180:07:20

-Do you know what that drawer is?

-No.

-That is a pull-out drawer for...

0:07:200:07:23

-Does it work?

-..your notepad.

0:07:230:07:25

Except it's not working.

0:07:250:07:26

Oh, my God, he's broken it.

0:07:260:07:29

I've broken it.

0:07:290:07:30

Charlie! That'll be an insurance claim, then.

0:07:300:07:33

Fortunately, Catherine is more delicate.

0:07:330:07:36

That seems nice. It's a very pretty silver-plated tea set.

0:07:360:07:40

Normally, I wouldn't touch silver-plated tea sets

0:07:400:07:43

-but because that's a really nice Art Nouveau shape.

-Yeah.

0:07:430:07:47

Three pieces and that's got £39 on it.

0:07:470:07:49

-If you could pick that up for £20...

-Yeah.

0:07:490:07:52

-Shall we bear that in mind?

-Yeah, we'll bear that in mind.

0:07:520:07:56

That's one for the back burner. Now, what are those Reds up to?

0:07:560:07:59

He's rather fun.

0:07:590:08:00

-I'm just thinking it's in Newbury, races, horsey country.

-Racehorse.

0:08:000:08:05

-Yeah?

-Love that! You are sharp, aren't you?

0:08:050:08:10

I don't think it's got any age. Shall we see if we can work it?

0:08:100:08:13

-You're taller than I am.

-I am.

-Just don't break anything.

-Yeah.

0:08:170:08:20

-Just as well you're here, Sean.

-It's on a cup hook.

-There we go.

0:08:200:08:24

-Oh, he's beautiful.

-He is rather lovely, isn't he?

-Is it real hair?

0:08:270:08:32

-It looks like yours.

-Feels like the real thing.

0:08:330:08:35

I was just looking at his tail. It might be.

0:08:350:08:38

That's something that would be fun to buy, purely on price.

0:08:380:08:41

Starting at £24.

0:08:410:08:44

I'd be inclined to whack in at a tenner and see what could happen.

0:08:440:08:48

-I think we need to negotiate about this.

-Yep.

-Yeah.

0:08:480:08:50

Who's going to negotiate?

0:08:500:08:52

-Shall I take this one?

-Yeah, I think so.

0:08:520:08:54

Go and find someone who's going to be kind to us...

0:08:540:08:56

-OK.

-..and bring them back.

0:08:560:08:58

So, the Reds have the bit between their teeth,

0:08:580:09:01

whereas the Blues are yet to hit their stride.

0:09:010:09:04

-Will you just know when you see it, Callum?

-Yeah.

0:09:060:09:09

I think so, yeah. I don't really know what I'm looking for.

0:09:090:09:12

Plenty of time left, though, chaps.

0:09:120:09:15

The Reds have managed to get hold of centre assistant Debbie.

0:09:150:09:19

-I've got you a super price!

-You haven't!

-I have!

-How super?

0:09:190:09:23

-£14. No strings attached!

-ALL: Oh!

0:09:230:09:27

-I love it! I think that's a...

-Deal!

-Done!

-That's fabulous.

0:09:270:09:32

It's neither old nor particularly amazing, but they love it,

0:09:320:09:36

-so horses for courses.

-We can't go wrong, can we?

-No.

0:09:360:09:39

-We won't make a fortune, but we won't make a loss.

-Good.

0:09:390:09:42

-He's going to gallop home.

-Oh!

0:09:420:09:45

That's your first buy in ten minutes.

0:09:450:09:48

Now, off you trot and find number two.

0:09:480:09:51

Blues are still meandering in the cabinets with Catherine,

0:09:510:09:54

who's found a pair of vases.

0:09:540:09:55

They're bronze, they've got a lovely relief shape,

0:09:550:09:59

lovely relief pattern to them, so you can see these oriental figures.

0:09:590:10:03

There's quite a lot going on there.

0:10:030:10:05

I'm not sure if it's on the front and the back. Can you see?

0:10:050:10:08

-Yeah, it's on the back as well, I think.

-This looks quite interesting.

0:10:080:10:11

Yeah, it's all the way round. How much do you think they are?

0:10:110:10:14

They've got £95 on them.

0:10:140:10:17

What do you think we should be paying for something like that?

0:10:170:10:20

It would be great to get those for about £40, £50,

0:10:200:10:22

and then maybe they could make a bit more.

0:10:220:10:25

-I quite like those, actually.

-Yeah.

0:10:250:10:26

Nothing to do with horse racing but...

0:10:260:10:28

-No, nothing to do with horse racing.

-Careful, boys.

0:10:280:10:30

Fixating on a theme can really eat away at your time -

0:10:300:10:33

something our Reds are well aware of, and continue at a pace.

0:10:330:10:37

-What do you think of this?

-I think it's lovely.

0:10:370:10:39

It's Victorian. It's pine. I'd like it more if it was mahogany or oak.

0:10:390:10:45

-Have you looked inside it?

-No. It has no key.

0:10:450:10:48

I don't think it matters too much about key.

0:10:480:10:50

People wouldn't use this for its original purpose,

0:10:500:10:53

which would have had, possibly, silver in it or whatever.

0:10:530:10:56

It's got a lovely lip to the lining there.

0:10:560:11:00

Having said that, it is... It's got a great double lock.

0:11:000:11:03

Look at the lock. Can you see

0:11:030:11:05

-the double locking mechanism, which is superb?

-Good storage.

0:11:050:11:08

-And good storage.

-Yeah.

0:11:080:11:09

But I have a price issue with this. £365.

0:11:090:11:13

This, if sold at auction, would probably make between £60 and £80.

0:11:130:11:20

-OK.

-OK?

-Lovely thing but out of your budget.

0:11:200:11:24

Meanwhile, the Blues are still looking for their first item.

0:11:240:11:26

That's quite good, that 1930s dragonfly brooch.

0:11:260:11:29

-Funnily enough, I just noticed that as well.

-Did you?

-Yeah, honestly.

0:11:290:11:33

-I'm not just saying that.

-That would be quite fun, actually.

0:11:330:11:36

-What is it?

-£15.

0:11:360:11:38

It might not be particularly anything special,

0:11:380:11:40

-but I'm just thinking insects as brooches...

-Yeah.

0:11:400:11:44

..can actually be quite desirable.

0:11:440:11:46

Yeah, I think that would be worth having a look at.

0:11:460:11:49

-Do you want a quick look at that?

-Yeah, let's look at that.

0:11:490:11:51

They've got hold of a centre assistant too. Come on in, Jim.

0:11:510:11:54

-Hello, Jim, hi.

-Hello there.

-Are you all right?

0:11:540:11:57

-Can we have a look at the dragonfly brooch?

-Certainly.

-Have a look.

0:11:570:12:03

There's quite a lot of bit of enamel or wear on it.

0:12:030:12:08

-But it is quite detailed, isn't it? The wings.

-Yeah.

-Have a little look.

0:12:080:12:13

Shall I have a closer look? What does it look like?

0:12:130:12:17

That's the important thing.

0:12:170:12:19

-I think that looks quite good.

-Yeah.

-Even though the green...

0:12:190:12:22

-Perhaps it's just...

-It is worn, it is worn.

0:12:220:12:26

-I think that's quite quirky, isn't it?

-They're calling it 1920s.

0:12:260:12:32

-What do you reckon?

-Yeah, I think we should...

0:12:320:12:35

Jim, can I ask what would be the best price you could do on that?

0:12:350:12:38

-The best on that would be £12.

-£12? You couldn't do any less?

0:12:380:12:42

-Couldn't do any less, I'm afraid.

-Couldn't do a tenner?

0:12:420:12:44

-It's 1920s, no.

-Even though it's a bit worn?

0:12:440:12:47

There's a bit more character when it's worn.

0:12:470:12:50

There's character, but you know...

0:12:500:12:52

-I think £12 would be the best we could go to.

-Are you sure? £11.

0:12:520:12:56

-£11, go on.

-£11. Go on. £11, OK.

-£11.

-£11.

0:12:560:13:00

Crikey, today's teams ARE being coy with the cash.

0:13:000:13:04

-We have one buy.

-Yes!

0:13:040:13:05

-Nothing to do with racing at all.

-No.

-Nothing at all.

0:13:050:13:08

That may be, but with 20 minutes gone, not a moment too soon.

0:13:080:13:12

-I may have found just the thing.

-Perfect.

0:13:140:13:16

It's not as nice as your last trunk.

0:13:160:13:18

-Oh, wow.

-Any good?

-I love it!

-Oh!

-CHARLIE LAUGHS

0:13:200:13:25

-Hang on, let's open it up.

-How do you open it?

0:13:250:13:27

I'm an old trunk opener, you know.

0:13:270:13:30

-THEY GASP

-Look!

0:13:300:13:32

-Wow, look!

-Luxury linen drop-in tray, madam.

0:13:320:13:35

It's a bit rickety, it's a bit had-it.

0:13:350:13:38

Not a bit like you, Charlie(!)

0:13:380:13:39

-Yeah, but it's got character.

-It's a trunk.

0:13:390:13:42

-Has it got leather handles as well?

-Old labels as well, look.

-Oh.

0:13:420:13:45

"Paid in advance". Look, there's a clue to its age.

0:13:450:13:49

-3 shillings and a penny. "Luggage in advance".

-Scarborough.

-Scarborough.

0:13:490:13:55

-I love it.

-It's not the best.

0:13:550:13:57

-I wouldn't want to pay £29 for it, I'm afraid.

-No.

0:13:570:14:00

-Do you want to negotiate?

-Yeah, I think so.

0:14:000:14:03

OK, so while Charlie looks for Debbie,

0:14:030:14:05

it seems the Blues may finally have found what they've been looking for.

0:14:050:14:09

-A riding crop!

-Ah.

-Do you actually ride?

-No.

0:14:090:14:13

-Have you ever been on a horse?

-Yeah, once.

-And never again.

-Never again.

0:14:130:14:17

Right. With antler horn handle.

0:14:170:14:20

Right.

0:14:200:14:21

-Hmm...

-OK.

-No, I don't think any of us

0:14:210:14:24

are getting particularly excited by that.

0:14:240:14:27

Oh, dear. That's not quite them either.

0:14:270:14:30

Now, back with the Reds and that trunk.

0:14:300:14:32

This is John and John owns the trunk.

0:14:320:14:36

Lucy particularly likes the trunk

0:14:360:14:38

but I don't think any of us quite like the price.

0:14:380:14:42

It's £29. Did it come in a house clearance?

0:14:420:14:45

-It did, yeah.

-That gives us a chance, you see, Lucy.

0:14:450:14:48

-Gives us a chance. So, we want a really ridiculously low price.

-19.

0:14:480:14:54

-That's too high.

-It could do with a few more labels on it.

0:14:540:14:57

If you could chuck a few more labels on it, John, that would help.

0:14:570:15:00

-Well, I can't do that, so I'll shake your hand at 15.

-OK, yeah. Deal.

0:15:000:15:04

-Are you sure you're happy with that, John?

-Thank you so much.

0:15:040:15:07

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

0:15:070:15:09

My word, Reds, you're making this look jolly easy.

0:15:090:15:12

We've bought two things. We've used 25 minutes.

0:15:120:15:15

-We can really shop at our leisure.

-Yeah.

-Well done.

0:15:150:15:19

Meanwhile, let's take a quick break from all this shopping

0:15:190:15:22

and I'll tell you about some rather special porcelain.

0:15:220:15:25

So, when you're wondering round an antiques centre or antiques fair,

0:15:320:15:35

you will probably instantly recognise

0:15:350:15:37

these wares here as Wedgwood.

0:15:370:15:40

You'll notice that it's the blue jasper cameo ware

0:15:400:15:42

and these are, unfortunately, fairly out of fashion at the moment.

0:15:420:15:46

But that's not to say that ALL Wedgwood is out of fashion

0:15:460:15:49

cos, believe it or not, this is also a piece of Wedgwood,

0:15:490:15:54

what we call fairyland lustre.

0:15:540:15:56

Now, by the beginning of the 20th century,

0:15:560:15:58

unfortunately, Wedgwood had sort of lost its inspiration,

0:15:580:16:02

it had lost that sort of vibrancy that it had

0:16:020:16:05

under its founder, Josiah Wedgwood, in the 18th century.

0:16:050:16:08

But, by the early 20th century,

0:16:080:16:10

Wedgwood was really quite close to bankruptcy

0:16:100:16:13

and they invested quite heavily in bringing in new designers

0:16:130:16:16

and one of these new designers was a lady called Daisy Makeig-Jones.

0:16:160:16:21

She was incredibly lucky that her studio was based

0:16:210:16:24

next to the glaze trial studio

0:16:240:16:25

and, there, she witnessed and saw so much.

0:16:250:16:28

It was really the basis of her training.

0:16:280:16:31

Daisy was heavily influenced by children's stories,

0:16:310:16:35

by Celtic folklore and by the rich patterns and designs

0:16:350:16:38

that she'd seen on old oriental porcelain.

0:16:380:16:41

This one is a wonderful example of her work.

0:16:410:16:44

It is just magical when you look at it.

0:16:440:16:47

It's got this wonderful woodland scene

0:16:470:16:50

on what we call a mother-of-pearl background.

0:16:500:16:52

You can see pixies, you can see elves,

0:16:520:16:55

all surrounding this central whirlpool here,

0:16:550:16:57

that's got little fish poking out from.

0:16:570:17:00

This was typical of her very ingenious

0:17:000:17:03

and quite avant-garde attitude,

0:17:030:17:06

especially if you consider that fashions at the time

0:17:060:17:09

were very much in the art deco.

0:17:090:17:11

We're talking angular, geometric lines.

0:17:110:17:13

Fashion wasn't really about these busy little fantastic designs,

0:17:130:17:18

but it really captured the public imagination.

0:17:180:17:21

But it was a gamble worth taking,

0:17:210:17:23

because Daisy's fairyland lustre range

0:17:230:17:26

really revived the fortunes of Wedgwood.

0:17:260:17:29

And the key to producing these wares was this wonderful, opulent glaze.

0:17:290:17:34

She basically mixed gold, silver and metallic oxides

0:17:340:17:38

together with oil and painted them directly onto the ceramic.

0:17:380:17:42

When these were fired, they then melted together

0:17:420:17:45

to create this wonderful, almost iridescent effect.

0:17:450:17:48

It looks like oil or petrol on the top of a puddle.

0:17:480:17:51

It's just glorious, when you look at it.

0:17:510:17:53

At auction, I would say we're probably looking

0:17:530:17:56

somewhere in the region of maybe £800 to £1,200

0:17:560:17:59

which, of course, starkly contrasts with this blue jasper cameo ware,

0:17:590:18:03

which you can pick up for £5 to £50.

0:18:030:18:06

If I were to invest in a piece of Wedgwood,

0:18:060:18:08

my money would be on the fairyland lustre every time.

0:18:080:18:11

I love its magical qualities, I love its glaze

0:18:110:18:15

and, personally, I love a bit of escapism.

0:18:150:18:17

Now, after 30 minutes, the decisive Reds have bought two items

0:18:260:18:29

and are taking their time over the third,

0:18:290:18:32

but it's a very different story with the Blues,

0:18:320:18:34

who still have two items to find.

0:18:340:18:36

If we don't buy something that we're all really happy with

0:18:360:18:39

and all really excited about very soon, this could go pear-shaped.

0:18:390:18:43

-Come on then, boys. Get stuck in.

-What about this?

0:18:450:18:48

-Not horse racing, but hunting.

-Mmm.

0:18:480:18:50

-Doo-doo-doo-doo!

-Do you think there's any age to it?

0:18:500:18:53

-God knows. Looks like it's got a bit of wear to it.

-Yeah.

0:18:530:18:57

-It's copper and brass.

-Shall I see if I can get a tune out of it?

0:18:570:19:00

-Go on then.

-RASPY BLOW

0:19:000:19:04

Ooh, dear. Oh, no. That sounds like...

0:19:040:19:08

That sounds like the TV's gone funny!

0:19:080:19:11

I saw this chest down here.

0:19:110:19:13

Do you know what that reminds me of?

0:19:130:19:15

I'm a very old, old man and when I went to school, what did I have?

0:19:150:19:21

-This chest.

-A tuck box!

-Ah.

0:19:210:19:24

-And what better name for a tuck box than Crisp?

-Yes!

0:19:240:19:28

OK, Reds, keep your heads on the shopping and not your stomachs.

0:19:280:19:32

Now, the Blues have decided to return for a closer look

0:19:320:19:34

at the pair of bronze vases that they spotted earlier,

0:19:340:19:37

with an asking price of £95.

0:19:370:19:39

-What do you think?

-They've got warriors on them, haven't they?

0:19:390:19:42

There's warriors either side

0:19:420:19:44

and then you've got these lovely handles here,

0:19:440:19:47

-with this, like, Greek key pattern.

-Yeah.

0:19:470:19:50

Little bit, sort of, bashed around the side. They're not perfect.

0:19:500:19:55

-Is there any markings underneath?

-No.

-Nothing?

-No, nothing at all.

0:19:550:20:00

-Nothing at all.

-Lots of dust inside.

-Lots of dust inside.

0:20:000:20:03

It would be nice to see a character mark or something

0:20:030:20:06

-and then we could really, perhaps, identify it.

-Yeah.

0:20:060:20:09

-And more importantly, put a date to it.

-Mmm.

0:20:090:20:11

-How much is on them?

-It says £95.

-They're £95, right.

0:20:110:20:16

What do you think they'd do at auction?

0:20:160:20:18

-I like the fact that we've got a pair of vases.

-Yeah.

0:20:180:20:21

I'm just thinking how old are they?

0:20:210:20:23

I'd like to think they're late 19th century.

0:20:230:20:25

I'm just a bit worried cos there's no markings,

0:20:250:20:28

so we don't know how old they are.

0:20:280:20:30

-I think, if we could get them for the right price...

-Hmm.

0:20:300:20:33

-What's the right price?

-£40?

0:20:330:20:35

Best price the dealer would do, cos he thinks they are original, is £70.

0:20:350:20:39

I think that price is reasonable.

0:20:390:20:41

And, personally, I think they're quite nice.

0:20:410:20:43

-I think we should get them.

-Shall we just got for it?

0:20:430:20:45

-We're happy with that?

-Yeah.

-Shall we shake the man's hand?

0:20:450:20:48

-Yeah, let's go for it.

-Thank you very much.

-Thanks, Jim.

-Thank you.

0:20:480:20:51

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Wonderful two in the bag.

-Yeah.

-20 minutes to go.

0:20:510:20:54

-Let's go for it.

-After you.

-OK.

0:20:540:20:56

So, that evens things up

0:20:560:20:59

and both teams ease into the last 20 minutes.

0:20:590:21:02

-We could get an elephant to go with your trunk.

-I don't think so, Reds.

0:21:020:21:06

-Now, do the Blues have any better ideas?

-I like... I like...

0:21:060:21:10

-You look very comfortable there, in your little grocer's.

-Yeah.

0:21:100:21:13

-But we haven't got time to play shops.

-That's it, Catherine.

0:21:130:21:17

Remember, it's a competition.

0:21:170:21:19

-Were you saying to Lucy that you wanted a pocket watch?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:21:190:21:22

I quite like this one here.

0:21:220:21:25

Here, we have one by Stewart Dawson of Liverpool.

0:21:250:21:31

That could be the retailer. Oh, look! Open up.

0:21:310:21:36

-Isn't that wonderful?

-That is.

-It's amazing!

0:21:370:21:40

This actually is an English-made watch.

0:21:400:21:43

There's the balance wheel. If we go like that...

0:21:430:21:47

If the spring's broken, it won't do that. If you want to look inside...

0:21:470:21:53

-Isn't that amazing, the workmanship?

-Mmm.

0:21:530:21:56

The inside cover, can you see? It's got a hallmark on it.

0:21:560:22:00

It's got an anchor, which tells us it was made in Birmingham.

0:22:000:22:03

What do you think? I think that it needs to be bought for £40.

0:22:030:22:07

Now, it's got £79 on it. That's really quite a reduction.

0:22:070:22:11

I just think it's going to make £50, £60 at auction.

0:22:110:22:14

DEBBIE: I'd like to give you a chance. I would like £50, but...

0:22:140:22:18

I think, to stand a chance, these two need to buy this for £40.

0:22:180:22:21

-Go on, Charlie.

-You're not just doing me a favour.

-Thank you!

0:22:240:22:28

-Thank you.

-Super.

0:22:280:22:31

Great work, Reds, and big thanks to Debbie, too.

0:22:310:22:34

This is fantastic. I'm looking at the watch

0:22:340:22:36

and it says here, we've got at least ten minutes to spare,

0:22:360:22:39

-which is fabulous! Well done!

-Yes!

0:22:390:22:42

-We've bought nicely.

-Yeah.

-And we're going to sell even better.

-Yes!

0:22:420:22:45

-Come on!

-Let's hope so, Charlie.

0:22:450:22:47

Now, those Blues are feeling the pressure,

0:22:470:22:50

and with only ten minutes left to find their final item.

0:22:500:22:52

-How are we doing, boys?

-We're not.

-Ah...

-Panicking now.

-Are you?

0:22:520:22:57

Yeah. Well, starting to.

0:22:570:22:59

What about a crystal...bottle with a silver top?

0:23:000:23:05

-That's quite nice, isn't it?

-Is that too chunky for a lady, do you think?

0:23:050:23:08

No, not at all. I think that would look wonderful

0:23:080:23:11

on any lady's dressing table.

0:23:110:23:13

If I bought that for you, you'd be impressed?

0:23:130:23:15

-I would be very pleased. Please, please do.

-OK.

0:23:150:23:17

-I think we should have a look at that.

-OK.

-You reckon?

0:23:170:23:20

Thankfully, Jim's on hand again.

0:23:200:23:22

-Oh, I love that pattern.

-Thanks very much.

0:23:220:23:25

-It's like a swirl.

-I love that swirl pattern.

0:23:250:23:29

-Did you see that in the cabinet?

-I did, I did, yeah.

0:23:290:23:31

-That's what drew you to it?

-Yeah.

-Is it perfect?

0:23:310:23:34

-Um...

-So, you've got the swirl pattern on the top

0:23:340:23:38

and then you've got like a hobnail band here.

0:23:380:23:41

Yeah, and it's cut at the bottom as well..

0:23:410:23:44

Little bit chipped at the bottom, but to be honest...

0:23:440:23:46

-You'd expect that, probably, wouldn't you?

-On the bottom.

0:23:460:23:49

I'm more concerned how the sides are. Gosh, he's giving it to ME!

0:23:490:23:52

KEITH LAUGHS

0:23:520:23:54

-Ah, right.

-There we are. Oh, missing its stopper.

-Ah, right.

0:23:540:24:00

They're asking £75.

0:24:000:24:03

I think, with the fact that we don't have the stopper,

0:24:030:24:06

you're looking more at £40, £45.

0:24:060:24:09

-The very best price we could do on that would be £50.

-Hmm, OK.

0:24:090:24:14

Callum, you're being very quiet. What are you thinking?

0:24:140:24:18

-What's going on in that mind of yours?

-I'm just not feeling it.

0:24:180:24:21

I'm just... I kind of get where my dad's coming from

0:24:210:24:25

-but, personally, I really don't like it.

-Trust me. I'm your father.

0:24:250:24:30

-That will make us a profit.

-Your father has spoken.

-Yeah, he has.

0:24:300:24:35

-There you go.

-So, um, yeah...

-Are we going to go with that?

0:24:350:24:38

-We'll go with that.

-Reluctantly.

-Yes.

-£50? Thanks, Jim.

0:24:380:24:41

-Thank you very much indeed.

-Thank you.

-Famous last words?

0:24:410:24:44

SHIP HORN BLARES Aye aye, teams,

0:24:440:24:47

your 60 minutes are up.

0:24:470:24:49

-Happy?

-Yep, very.

-Happy?

-Very happy.

-Yeah.

0:24:490:24:51

Let's take a closer look at what the Red team bought.

0:24:510:24:54

They trotted off with a decorative wooden horse puppet for £14.

0:24:560:25:00

Next, they packed up the vintage travel trunk for £15.

0:25:030:25:07

Finally, they pocketed this Edwardian silver watch for £40.

0:25:090:25:13

-I've never seen anything like it.

-Well...

0:25:150:25:17

Focussed, knew what you wanted. Did you enjoy it?

0:25:170:25:20

-Yes, I thought it was brilliant.

-Did you?

-Yeah.

-Oh, brilliant.

0:25:200:25:23

-How about you, Lucy?

-I loved it.

-Was it good fun?

-Really good stuff.

0:25:230:25:26

And did Charlie guide you through this maze of antiques expertly?

0:25:260:25:29

Yeah, surprisingly, we kind of glided through.

0:25:290:25:31

Normally he gets lost, so that's amazing.

0:25:310:25:35

What do you think's going to make the biggest profit?

0:25:350:25:37

-Probably the pocket watch.

-The pocket watch?

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:25:370:25:40

-And what about you, Sean?

-Possibly the horse.

-OK.

0:25:400:25:43

-I think we got a good deal on that.

-Really? How much did you spend?

-£69.

0:25:430:25:48

-So, can I have £231, please?

-You may.

0:25:480:25:52

Sean, keeper of the money, I like it. £231, Charlie Ross, though.

0:25:520:25:56

My goodness!

0:25:560:25:58

Have you seen anything on your travels that might suit our Reds?

0:25:580:26:01

-Oh, so many things.

-So many things!

-And all of them are £231 exactly.

0:26:010:26:07

-So, you're going to blow it all?

-I certainly am.

-Brilliant. I love it.

0:26:070:26:11

So, whilst Charlie goes and has a little look for our Red team,

0:26:110:26:14

let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.

0:26:140:26:16

They swooped in for the dragonfly brooch. £11 paid.

0:26:160:26:20

They returned for the pair of 19th century

0:26:230:26:25

lacquered bronze Japanese vases, paying £70.

0:26:250:26:29

With minutes to spare, they topped off their buying

0:26:300:26:33

with a silver and glass perfume bottle for £50.

0:26:330:26:36

So, guys, was that a totally overwhelming experience?

0:26:370:26:40

-Yeah, it was.

-Yeah.

-Was it?

-It really was, yeah.

0:26:400:26:43

You look quite shellshocked.

0:26:430:26:45

-It was so much harder than it looks on the telly.

-Really?

-Oh.

0:26:450:26:48

Racing around with a big budget, buying antiques?

0:26:480:26:50

I think the problem was, there was so much choice

0:26:500:26:53

and we were looking for specific things

0:26:530:26:55

and we, unfortunately, didn't find them but, yeah, it was good though.

0:26:550:26:58

-So, what's your favourite item, Callum?

-The two Japanese vases.

0:26:580:27:02

-Pair of Japanese vases.

-Yeah.

-OK, and what about you, Dad?

0:27:020:27:06

Mine's the crystal perfume bottle.

0:27:060:27:08

Do we think the perfume bottle is going to make the biggest profit?

0:27:080:27:12

-No.

-Oh.

-No.

-So, boys, how much did you spend?

0:27:120:27:16

-£131.

-So, I would like £169 of leftover lolly, please.

-OK.

0:27:160:27:21

Right, Catherine, £169 there to cheer up your Blues.

0:27:210:27:26

-What are you going to spend it on?

-Serious bling.

-Ooh.

-Serious bling?

0:27:260:27:30

Whoo, I like it already!

0:27:300:27:32

Well, while Catherine goes and finds some serious bling,

0:27:320:27:35

we will head off to the auction.

0:27:350:27:37

We have travelled down the road from Northamptonshire to Berkshire

0:27:430:27:46

to be at Special Auction Services with auctioneer Thomas Plant.

0:27:460:27:50

-Christina, what an absolute pleasure.

-Why, thanks.

0:27:500:27:54

-Well, it is. It's a pleasure to have you guys here.

-Brilliant.

0:27:540:27:57

Let's have a look at what the Red team bought.

0:27:570:27:59

They invested in this rather lovely red painted mule?

0:27:590:28:04

-Mule, horse, donkey... It's in the vein of Muffin the Mule.

-Yeah.

0:28:040:28:09

But it's not. It's probably quite recent.

0:28:090:28:12

-It's recent enough to have two broken ears, sadly.

-Yeah, it is.

0:28:120:28:17

So, we've said £30 to £50.

0:28:170:28:19

-They'll be delighted. £14 spent.

-Oh.

0:28:190:28:22

Now we've gone from India, potentially,

0:28:220:28:24

-to this wonderful travelling trunk.

-Mmm.

0:28:240:28:27

1940s, which is very well travelled. It's got some wonderful labels

0:28:270:28:30

on the inside and the outside, hasn't it?

0:28:300:28:32

Yes. We sell a lot of these, actually.

0:28:320:28:34

And nicely bound as well, isn't it?

0:28:340:28:36

Yeah, well-bound and it's flat, rather than domed, which is useful.

0:28:360:28:40

-Great coffee table.

-Great coffee table. Great at the end of the bed.

0:28:400:28:43

Yeah. Very in vogue right now.

0:28:430:28:45

It is in vogue, so we put £25 to £35 on it.

0:28:450:28:47

-Well, they'll be delighted. £15 only paid for that.

-That's really good.

0:28:470:28:51

-I think that was a bargain, don't you?

-Mmm.

0:28:510:28:53

-This is their third purchase. What are your thoughts?

-I love it.

0:28:530:28:56

It is a good example of an open face with a second subsidiary dial,

0:28:560:29:00

a good maker, in silver, white enamel face, Roman numerals.

0:29:000:29:05

-They could be gold hands.

-It's got everything going for it, hasn't it?

0:29:050:29:09

-It has.

-And it's got its key.

-These should be worth more.

0:29:090:29:12

-They should.

-We've put £50 to £70.

-Gosh. OK, they paid £40 for it.

0:29:120:29:16

As I said, they should be worth more,

0:29:160:29:18

-because they're lovely bits of kit.

-Thomas, this is wonderful.

0:29:180:29:21

Three pieces, three predicted profits.

0:29:210:29:24

They might not need their bonus buy

0:29:240:29:26

but we'll go and have a look at it anyway.

0:29:260:29:28

Well, Sean and Lucy, this is exciting, isn't it?

0:29:280:29:31

-Yeah.

-You left Charlie with £231 of leftover lolly.

0:29:310:29:36

-Charlie, I hope you invested it wisely.

-Oh, I really did.

0:29:360:29:40

-I bought you a gold naval brooch.

-Ooh.

0:29:400:29:44

Now, it's small but it's gold and it was so cheap,

0:29:440:29:48

it comes with the C Ross guarantee of profit.

0:29:480:29:51

If you don't go with this bonus buy, you are, frankly, bonkers!

0:29:510:29:57

-And this will have been given to a sweetheart.

-Sweetheart.

0:29:570:29:59

-A naval sweetheart.

-When he was going away to sea.

0:29:590:30:03

-Charlie paid only £20 for that.

-That's a bargain.

0:30:030:30:05

-And you said it was gold?

-It is. It's nine-carat gold.

0:30:050:30:08

-How much do you think it would make?

-£50.

-Brilliant.

0:30:080:30:12

You don't have to decide now, but let's see if our auctioneer

0:30:120:30:15

is as enamoured with Charlie's sweetheart brooch.

0:30:150:30:18

Here we are, Thomas.

0:30:190:30:21

This is what Charlie has invested their leftover lolly in.

0:30:210:30:24

-It's rather sweet, isn't it?

-Aye aye, Captain.

-Aye aye, Captain.

0:30:240:30:28

-Well, I know Ross always wanted to be a pirate.

-This is true.

0:30:280:30:33

A naval brooch, a lovely gold naval brooch.

0:30:330:30:37

By Page of Plymouth, so a really good retailer. It's a good thing.

0:30:370:30:40

-And it's a great quality piece, isn't it?

-It's lovely quality.

0:30:400:30:43

Looking at the casting on it, it's really detailed. It's beautiful.

0:30:430:30:46

It's absolutely super

0:30:460:30:48

-and it's a King's one as well with the King's crown.

-There you go.

0:30:480:30:51

So you can date it from there. We've called it Edwardian.

0:30:510:30:55

It might be George V, but it's got some age, which is lovely.

0:30:550:30:59

And how do you rate it? What sort of estimate have you put on that?

0:30:590:31:02

-Sweetheart brooches are popular. We put it in at £50 to £80.

-Brilliant.

0:31:020:31:05

-Charlie's only spent £20 on it.

-How did he do that?

0:31:050:31:08

-I don't know, but he always does.

-I know how he did it.

0:31:080:31:11

-How?

-He pretended to be a pirate.

-That's the Red team done.

0:31:110:31:14

Let's have a look at the Blue team's selection over here.

0:31:140:31:17

The first item they bought

0:31:170:31:18

is the lovely little dragonfly brooch over there.

0:31:180:31:21

-It's sweet, isn't it?

-Very sweet.

0:31:210:31:23

-From a distance.

-Yes, it looks great from here.

0:31:230:31:26

Just don't go too close cos it looks like it's out of a cracker.

0:31:260:31:29

-Oh, really?

-Yeah, it's really quite poor quality.

-Oh, no.

0:31:290:31:32

But, probably new, it would have been wow, amazing.

0:31:320:31:35

There's some loss of the paint. It's in gilt metal.

0:31:350:31:38

-We put it in at £15 to £25.

-Well, that's not too bad,.

0:31:380:31:41

-They only paid £11 for it.

-There you are then.

0:31:410:31:44

As long as your bidders don't look too closely, we'll be fine.

0:31:440:31:47

Second thing bought was the pair of Meiji vases there.

0:31:470:31:50

Right, well, these are in spelter and they've been bronzed,

0:31:500:31:54

-so they're meant to look like bronze.

-But actually they're not.

0:31:540:31:57

-They're not solid.

-No. And the quality is half and half.

0:31:570:32:02

-It's half good, half bad, do you know what I mean?

-Mmm.

0:32:020:32:05

You can actually see from here, unfortunately,

0:32:050:32:08

you'll see these seams down there.

0:32:080:32:10

-Now, we think that these are yesterday's antiques.

-Really?

-Yeah.

0:32:100:32:15

-£50 to £80.

-Well, they paid £70 for them.

0:32:150:32:19

Moving on to what I think is just the most beautiful scent bottle

0:32:190:32:24

-I think I've ever seen.

-It's a good one, isn't it?

0:32:240:32:26

-It's gorgeous!

-It's proper glass, good lead crystal glass there.

0:32:260:32:31

It just looks substantial, doesn't it?

0:32:310:32:33

With the hobnail cut, that wave, and then you've got this fabulous

0:32:330:32:36

great big embossed floral screw-off lid. We like it.

0:32:360:32:42

-Obviously like it. What have you put on it?

-£70 to £100.

-£70 to £100.

0:32:420:32:45

Well, they paid £50 for it, which I think, again, was a very good buy.

0:32:450:32:50

-Really? £50? Wow.

-Only £50.

0:32:500:32:52

So, we've got two predicted profits on the table here.

0:32:520:32:55

These might struggle. So, the Blue team might need their bonus buy.

0:32:550:32:58

Let's have a look what it is.

0:32:580:33:00

Catherine, you had quite a substantial sum

0:33:020:33:04

-of leftover lolly, didn't you?

-I did.

0:33:040:33:06

£169-worth. What did you spend it on?

0:33:060:33:08

-Well, I bought you a little gem.

-Oh...

-OK.

-Oh, yeah.

0:33:080:33:13

Let me tell you a bit about this. What we've got...

0:33:130:33:17

On first appearance, it does look like a nice gold brooch

0:33:170:33:20

but it's not actually gold, it's actually pinchbeck -

0:33:200:33:23

basically an alloy, mainly made up of copper and zinc,

0:33:230:33:27

to make people think that it's gold.

0:33:270:33:29

But what I liked about this was not so much the gold appearance,

0:33:290:33:33

but the fact that it's a really decorative brooch

0:33:330:33:37

and really nicely studded with these little turquoise stones.

0:33:370:33:40

And I think it's really attractive.

0:33:400:33:42

It cost me £90 and there may be a little profit there.

0:33:420:33:47

There we are, boys. What do you think?

0:33:470:33:49

-Yeah...

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Yeah? We're on the fence slightly?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:33:490:33:53

Well, you don't have to decide now but let's go and see

0:33:530:33:56

what the auctioneer thinks of Catherine's rather beautiful brooch.

0:33:560:33:59

So, here we are, Thomas.

0:33:590:34:01

This is what Catherine invested her leftover lolly in.

0:34:010:34:04

Yes, a brooch, a Victorian brooch in the sort of revivalist style,

0:34:040:34:10

the archaeological revivalist Etruscan style.

0:34:100:34:13

-Lovely with those turquoises.

-It is lovely with the turquoise in.

0:34:130:34:16

I don't think it probably started out life as a brooch.

0:34:160:34:20

No, I would agree. Looking at the back of that, unfortunately,

0:34:200:34:23

-there is a bit of solderwork there.

-It's been something else.

0:34:230:34:26

-Although, I hope the turquoise really gives them some luck.

-Yeah.

0:34:260:34:29

-Turquoise is a lucky stone.

-Do you think it will?

0:34:290:34:32

Er, it's difficult to say. £60 to £80 we put on it.

0:34:320:34:35

Well, they will need all the luck in world then,

0:34:350:34:38

-because Catherine paid £90 for it.

-Ooh, £90 - that's very punchy.

-Mmm.

0:34:380:34:42

We've got a vintage box with it. It's not a fitted box.

0:34:420:34:45

But if two people like it, you never know.

0:34:450:34:48

We will find out later

0:34:480:34:49

whether they want to go with their bonus buy or not.

0:34:490:34:52

-Thomas, will you be taking the auction for us?

-Of course.

0:34:520:34:54

Brilliant. We're in safe hands then.

0:34:540:34:56

140 now. 140 now I have.

0:34:560:34:58

-140 now I have. Any advance on 140?

-HE BANGS GAVEL

0:34:580:35:02

-How are you feeling?

-Excited, nervous.

0:35:020:35:04

-Oh, Sean, so exciting, isn't it? Lucy?

-Yeah, excited.

-Very excited.

0:35:040:35:09

-Have you been to an auction before, guys?

-This is my first one.

-Really?

0:35:090:35:12

-Yeah.

-Oh, my goodness.

-I know. First time for everything.

-Exactly.

0:35:120:35:17

Charlie, how are you feeling?

0:35:170:35:18

-You've got the right earring though, haven't you?

-Yes.

-Look at that!

0:35:180:35:21

-I love it!

-Isn't that the business?

-You've already got your gavel?

0:35:230:35:26

-Yeah, already got my golden gavel.

-Your first lot up is your favourite.

0:35:260:35:29

You both agreed that your favourite item

0:35:290:35:31

-was that lovely little horse, the puppet.

-Yeah.

0:35:310:35:34

Brilliant. Very best of luck.

0:35:340:35:35

He's coming up now.

0:35:350:35:36

Next up is the Indian wooden painted horse puppet, in red.

0:35:360:35:40

Black painted detail here. Start the bidding at £15.

0:35:400:35:43

He's looking for £15.

0:35:430:35:45

You all have your own Sound Of Music day on this one, couldn't you?

0:35:450:35:48

-High on a hill with a donkey. No?

-It's definitely worth 15.

0:35:480:35:53

10. 10 to get us going. £10 to get us going, surely.

0:35:530:35:57

10 I've got online. I need 12 somewhere.

0:35:570:36:00

-We need to get it up a little bit.

-At 10. No hands at 10 against it?

0:36:000:36:04

-Once and twice.

-HE BANGS GAVEL

0:36:040:36:06

Oh, £10. So you've lost £4 on that, sadly.

0:36:060:36:10

Next up now, is your rather gorgeous vintage travel trunk.

0:36:100:36:13

Travel trunk, circa 1940, with interior lift-out tray.

0:36:130:36:17

Good lot, this one here. Start me here at £20.

0:36:170:36:21

-£20.

-Come on, come on.

0:36:210:36:23

Looking for £20. 15 then. Move us along here at 15.

0:36:230:36:28

-Surely it's got to be 15. 18 now we've got online.

-There we go.

0:36:280:36:31

You're into a profit, guys. You're into a profit. You're all right.

0:36:310:36:35

-At 18 once. 18 twice.

-HE BANGS GAVEL

0:36:350:36:38

You've got £3 profit there, so you're at minus £1.

0:36:380:36:42

Next up, we've got the silver open-faced pocket watch.

0:36:420:36:45

By Stewart Dawson of Liverpool. There we are.

0:36:450:36:48

I can start the bidding, with me here, at £25.

0:36:480:36:51

-25. 28 now. 28 it is.

-It's climbing, it's climbing.

0:36:510:36:54

-Charlie, it's all right.

-Come on, Mr Auctioneer.

0:36:540:36:57

30 now. 30. It's in the room at £30. 35. At £35.

0:36:570:37:02

-Is there any advance?

-Oh, gosh.

-At £35. All done then?

0:37:020:37:07

-Should be worth more.

-HE BANGS GAVEL

0:37:070:37:09

Ooh, that just sold for £35, so you are minus £5.

0:37:090:37:13

-So, overall, you're at minus £6.

-We can get that back on our bonus buy.

0:37:130:37:18

-Definitely.

-There we are, see?

-Charlie Ross guarantee.

0:37:180:37:21

The Charlie Ross guarantee, there we go.

0:37:210:37:24

-So, you have decided to go with your bonus buy.

-Yeah.

0:37:240:37:27

Unanimous team decision, with the Ross guarantee.

0:37:270:37:30

Here it comes now. Good luck.

0:37:300:37:32

Right, next lot is 152.

0:37:320:37:35

An Edwardian nine-carat gold sweetheart badge,

0:37:370:37:40

I can start the bidding, with me here, at £25. 25.

0:37:400:37:43

-25. 30.

-Wow.

-We're in profit.

-35. 38?

0:37:430:37:48

-Go on, 38.

-Yes!

-I'm out at 38. 38 it is.

0:37:480:37:52

Dinner's on us!

0:37:520:37:54

-All done then? All done?

-HE BANGS GAVEL

0:37:540:37:57

So, it's just sold for £38. That's £18 profit, Charlie.

0:37:570:38:00

-Well done, you.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:38:000:38:02

-Overall, you're £12 in the money.

-Ooh!

0:38:020:38:05

You never know, that might be a winning score.

0:38:050:38:07

Promise me you won't say a word to the Blues.

0:38:070:38:09

-How are you feeling, chaps?

-Good.

-Yeah, good.

-Confident?

-Mmm...

-So-so.

0:38:190:38:24

Oh! Come on! Where's that fighting spirit?

0:38:240:38:27

We'll do all right.

0:38:270:38:28

You'll do all right. Are you going to win?

0:38:280:38:30

-Yeah, we're going to win.

-Fighting talk, Catherine. I like it.

0:38:300:38:33

-Have you been to an auction before, chaps?

-No.

-No.

0:38:330:38:36

First auction experience, Catherine. Let's hope it's not too painful.

0:38:360:38:39

-I'm sure it won't be.

-No.

0:38:390:38:41

Start at £10 for the dragonfly.

0:38:560:38:57

Come on!

0:38:570:38:59

0:38:590:39:02

-£10 more.

-Come on, come on.

0:39:020:39:04

Looking for £1 more to take this onwards.

0:39:040:39:06

At 10 it is.

0:39:060:39:08

No, surely!

0:39:080:39:10

-All done? Lady's bid, in the room.

-HE BANGS GAVEL

0:39:100:39:13

£10, so you're minus £1.

0:39:130:39:16

-That's OK. You're all right. Next up, those vases.

-Next lot is 165.

0:39:160:39:20

A late pair of Meiji Japanese period bronzed spelter vases.

0:39:200:39:26

I can start the bidding, with me here, at 55. 60.

0:39:260:39:30

-60 I have.

-Oh, come on!

-Any advance at 60? Selling then.

0:39:370:39:41

-All done.

-HE BANGS GAVEL

0:39:410:39:43

£60. So you've lost £10 on that, so we're minus £11.

0:39:430:39:47

Next lot is 166.

0:39:470:39:48

An art deco period cut-glass silver-mounted perfume bottle.

0:39:480:39:51

This is a beauty, this one here,

0:39:510:39:54

and I can start the bidding straight in with me, here, at 40.

0:39:540:39:57

45. 50. 55. 60 now.

0:39:570:40:00

-We got profit.

0:40:050:40:07

-Yes!

-This is brilliant.

0:40:070:40:09

At £80 at the back. At £80 it is.

0:40:090:40:11

-All done at 80. Selling then.

-HE BANGS GAVEL

0:40:110:40:14

-Yes, well done!

-Brilliant.

0:40:140:40:16

So, you've made £30 profit on that, so you're plus £19, OK.

0:40:160:40:19

-Yes.

-Going away with a profit at the moment.

-Yes.

0:40:190:40:23

What would you like to do about Catherine's bonus buy, guys?

0:40:230:40:26

-I don't think we should take it.

-As much as we...

-No.

0:40:260:40:29

-We've made a profit.

-That is fine by me.

-Yeah?

0:40:290:40:32

I think we should stick with that.

0:40:320:40:34

-So you're not going to go with the bonus buy.

-No.

-Here it comes.

0:40:340:40:37

-Let's see what happens.

-OK.

-Next lot is 170.

0:40:370:40:40

A Victorian archaeological revivalist

0:40:400:40:42

pinchbeck and turquoise brooch.

0:40:420:40:44

I can start the bidding, with me here, at £30.

0:40:440:40:47

-There's bidding in the doorway.

-45.

0:40:470:40:50

50 now. 50's room bid.

0:40:500:40:52

-Got a long way though.

-Mmm.

0:40:520:40:55

Selling once at 50. Selling twice at 50.

0:40:550:40:57

-All done.

-HE BANGS GAVEL

0:40:570:40:58

-You know your onions. Or your brooches!

-A wise decision, chaps.

0:40:580:41:03

It just sold for £50, which would have been a loss of £40,

0:41:030:41:05

but you decided not to go with it, so you are, overall, at £19 profit.

0:41:050:41:09

-Yes!

-That's £19 more than I thought we'd get.

-Exactly.

0:41:090:41:12

It could be a winning score.

0:41:120:41:13

-Promise you won't say a word to the Reds.

-We won't.

-We won't.

0:41:130:41:16

This is wildly exciting.

0:41:260:41:28

-Oh, really?

-There is only £7 in it today.

-What?!

0:41:280:41:35

You're all going away with profits

0:41:350:41:38

and today's runners-up are Sean and Lucy.

0:41:380:41:41

-Oh!

-Oh, no!

-Yes!

0:41:410:41:44

No!

0:41:440:41:45

Guys, can you believe it? £7 in it. That's nothing.

0:41:450:41:50

-Can we demand a recount?

-Yes.

-Yeah. Nil points.

0:41:500:41:54

You've done brilliantly, you've gone away with a profit

0:41:540:41:58

and you ended up with £12. Here we are.

0:41:580:42:01

You have £5, you have £5.

0:42:010:42:04

-You have £1, Lucy.

-Thank you.

0:42:040:42:06

-Sean, you have £1.

-Marvellous.

0:42:060:42:08

-That's very fair, isn't it?

-No, I didn't get anything!

0:42:080:42:12

On another day, it could have been a winning score,

0:42:120:42:15

but not quite enough to beat our mighty Blues.

0:42:150:42:18

Well done, mighty Blues. Fantastic.

0:42:180:42:21

-It was a bit of a rollercoaster, let's be honest.

-It was.

-It was.

0:42:210:42:24

Which left you, overall, at plus £19.

0:42:240:42:27

Dad, are we going to give it to Callum?

0:42:270:42:30

Mmm, I'll never see it again.

0:42:300:42:32

-Yeah, give it to him.

-Callum, £19.

0:42:320:42:35

-There we are, darling.

-Thank you very much.

-All yours.

0:42:350:42:37

-Take it away to university with you and spend it wisely.

-I will do.

0:42:370:42:41

-Have you enjoyed yourself?

-Great time.

-Yeah.

-That's the main thing.

0:42:410:42:44

And going away with money as well. Can't be bad. Can't be bad at all.
