0:00:02 > 0:00:04Bargain Hunt is coming from Peterborough
0:00:04 > 0:00:06in Cambridgeshire today.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10Cambridgeshire is one of the driest counties in the UK.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15Rains there, rains there,
0:00:15 > 0:00:17sometimes rains there, but not here.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Peterborough is also one of the sunniest places
0:00:20 > 0:00:24in the whole of the UK, with 1,600 hours of sunshine.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Now, based on that extremely well-informed forecast...
0:00:31 > 0:00:33..let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Whatever the weather,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58the East of England Showground is home
0:00:58 > 0:01:00to one of the largest antique fairs
0:01:00 > 0:01:01in the country.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04And with over 1,000 stalls to choose from,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I'm predicting a cracking show,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08so let's have a little look at what's coming up.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12On today's show, the Reds are struggling
0:01:12 > 0:01:13to find anything they like.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- What I would say is...- No, you're right.- ..the answer is no.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- No. Do you like the glass?- No.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20She doesn't like it. I like it.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- It's just not my era of collection.- No.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25And the Blues resort to name-calling.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Why do you call her Bongo? - Ali Bongo.- Ali Bongo.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- It's just a friendship name, really.- Bongo?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33And it all gets very exciting at the auction.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Oh, Philip.- Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Mwah! How about that?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Well, let's meet today's teams. We've got four gorgeous girls today.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47For the Reds, we have Dee and Jean
0:01:47 > 0:01:49and for the Blues, we have Alison and Sarah.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello!
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Now, Dee, you used to be Jean's boss, I believe.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Yes. Many moons ago.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- That's how we first met. - Is it?- Yes.- What were you doing?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03I was a customer support manager for a large company in Peterborough
0:02:03 > 0:02:06and Jean joined us to do a special product
0:02:06 > 0:02:09which was the walk-in food centres, the big freezers.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Right. Was she good at her job? - Excellent.- Was she?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Without question.- Marvellous. And what was she like as a boss?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- She was excellent. - Oh, of course she was.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19But I have to say that cos she's standing next to me.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21THEY LAUGH Now, Dee, you're retired now,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24but you are still serving the people of Whittlesey, aren't you?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Full-time job. I'm a town councillor for Whittlesey
0:02:27 > 0:02:29and a district councillor for the Fenland area.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Now, Jean, you're also retired, aren't you?- I am, yes.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- So, what do you like doing? - Well, I like shopping.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37My friends say I'm a shopaholic.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I don't think I am, but they do say that.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Today's your ideal day, isn't it? - It is. A perfect day for me, yes.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- You're going shopping with someone else's money.- Yes.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48It's even better when you've got other people's money to spend.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- I know what you do like buying. - What?- Shoes.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Well, yes, shoes. - Look at those shoes.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56They are something else. They're fantastic.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58They're very comfortable as well.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59How about antiques? Good at antiques?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I don't know a lot, but I know what I like.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Dee, where does your knowledge of antiques and collectables come from?
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- I inherited silver. It's a labour of love.- Mm.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Takes me seven hours to clean about every eight weeks.- Seven hours?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Yes, but it looks perfect. It's lovely.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Lots of memories to it, attached to it.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21But I also like Waterford Crystal.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I'm not averse to diamonds and a bit of bling as well.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25THEY LAUGH
0:03:25 > 0:03:29I've never yet met a woman who's averse to diamonds.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- And who will be holding the purse strings?- Me.- Jean.- Yeah.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34You don't want to spend too much, do you?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- Well...- Oh, yes, you do.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Well, you only have this experience once.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41If you put as much into buying your antiques
0:03:41 > 0:03:45as you've put into your shoes, you'll win a Golden Gavel.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- We hope.- Well, thank you to the Red team.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Now onto the Blues, Alison and Sarah.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Now, you're neighbours, aren't you?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- We live about two doors apart from each other.- Do your families get on?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Our boys are both best friends, aren't they?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Really?- They are, yes. Same age.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- That's lovely. - Used to be at the same school.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Now, Alison, you design toys for a living?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Yes, I work on craft products for children.- Oh, do you?- Yes.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08And it covers a wide range of craft products
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- from chocolate products, jewellery, greetings cards...- Hang on.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Let me stop you there. How can chocolate be a craft product?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Making lollipops, making coins,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21making little cakes and things made from chocolate.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Oh, I see. I like things like that.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Now, Sarah, what do you do for a living?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I'm a receptionist at a large secondary school at the moment.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Gosh. That must keep you busy. - Very busy. Very, very busy.- Gosh.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34But prior to that, I was a freelance wedding florist,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36so I still do a little bit of that on the side.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- My wife does a bit of that.- Oh! - So, do you arrange flowers at home?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Yes, my kitchen table, but now I have a full-time...
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- What I call a proper job. - HE LAUGHS
0:04:46 > 0:04:47I'm glad to hear it.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50So, what's it going to be like shopping together?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- Are you going to be in agreement? - We do have similar tastes,
0:04:52 > 0:04:54especially in the jewellery department.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55- Yeah.- We like similar things.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- We like quirky things. - Will you be spending big?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- No, I don't think so. - No, I think our strategy
0:05:00 > 0:05:02is to spend smallish amounts of money.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04We're not going to be too fixed in terms of the amount,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- but we don't want to be spending a huge amount on one item.- OK.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Now, if you're going to go shopping, girls,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12there's something you're missing.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- ALL:- Money!- Money. Absolutely. Here we go.
0:05:15 > 0:05:21- 300 for you and 300 for you girls. Off you go.- Thank you.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25One frugal, one spendthrift. Anybody's game.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31So, let's get this show on the road and meet today's experts.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Give us a B.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Give us an H.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Give us Philip Serrell for the Reds.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39And sharing her love of antiques with the Blues,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41it's Christina Trevanion.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Right, my girlie-wirlies,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46what are we looking for today in the sunshine?
0:05:46 > 0:05:47- It's gorgeous.- Isn't it?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51I'd like to find something quite individual, one-of-a-kind,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- very attractive, unique perhaps. - You're talking about yourself.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Well, of course me as well. - One-of-a-kind, unique,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- very attractive.- Thank you.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Well, I personally like silver jewellery.- Right.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04But obviously, knowing about the show field,
0:06:04 > 0:06:05it's probably expensive.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I'm looking for something functional for the house.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Right.- Something that can be used.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13I think small things, quirky things,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- something perhaps a bit shiny as well for my friend.- Shiny things!
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Now, teams, no time for clowning around.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Your time starts...now. BELL RINGS
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Do you know what I think we should buy?- What?- A profit.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25- Yes!- Come on.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- We've got a long list, haven't we? - Yes, we have.- Let's go.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Go, Phil. Go, Phil. - THEY LAUGH
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I said no clowning around, Reds.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42If you want to spend a penny, they're ideal, aren't they?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Brilliant. - THEY LAUGH
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Well, actually, it could be a water planter.- Well...
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Phil, you've got your work cut out here.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- OK, right, what do we think? What do we think?- These trunks.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Yeah, I like this trunk.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Sarah likes this one. I quite like this metal one.- Trunks.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- What's the difference, do you think, in terms of...?- Trunks. Why trunks?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- What is it you love about trunks? - Well, they're useful for storage.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Blanket box and, you know, under-the-bed toy box.- Yes.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07They've kind of got that vintage look, haven't they?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- But that looks... It looks... It's solid.- It is.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12And it's actually wooden bound, so it's a steamer trunk
0:07:12 > 0:07:15and it's got a nice luggage label on the bottom saying
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Union-Castle Line from South and East Africa.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- That's a well-travelled trunk, isn't it? I like that.- Yes, it is.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24But... OK. And what do you think about this metal one?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26What is that? Military or...?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- I think it's a lot later. Obviously, it's...- I don't like that.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31You wouldn't want that at the bottom of your bed, would you?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Well, it's quite trendy. It's quite retro, maybe.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Are we going to disagree on styles? - No, I think we should move on.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Really?- It's the first trunks we've looked at.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Gosh, she's very decisive. - I like that trunk.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- What do we do? Why don't we find out how much it is?- Yeah, OK.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Is this yours, sir? How much have you got on it?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- MAN:- I want £50.- £50.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- It's a nice thing, Bongo. - Bongo?- Ali Bongo.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- Bongo?- I'm not sure about it. - Did you call her Bongo?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- I think she did call her Bongo, Christina.- Ali Bongo.- Ali Bongo.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- It's just a friendship name, really.- Bongo?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Would you be interested in coming down quite a bit lower?
0:08:06 > 0:08:11- How about 40?- How about 25? - How about 30?- 25? 25?
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- 25? That's fine.- Oh, gosh! Really? - Yes.- That'd be fantastic.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Well, for 25, we'll take it. - Hang on a second. What's going on?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Is that all right? - But you don't like it.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22No, I think Sarah... We said one object for Sarah.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24If she thinks she really likes it, I'm a good friend.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26You can have it, if you want, for 25.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I don't think you'll find another one for as good a price.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Is that your lowest price? It is, yeah. You're very kind.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Could 20 clinch it?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I think 20's going to clinch it, yes.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- 20's going to clinch it. - 20. We'll go for it.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Are you happy, girls? - Yes, yes, OK.- Yes.- How many minutes?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Have we actually had a minute yet? - We have to say thank you.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44You've had five minutes, Christina.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Good on you, ladies. First item in the bag.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Thank you very much. - Thank you, Bongo.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Thank you.- Well done, Bongo. - High-five.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55This is terrifying. This is going to be over in ten minutes.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56- Let's go. Let's go.- OK, let's go.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Well, if you carry on at this rate.- Thank you.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Now, are the Reds about to lift the lid on their first item?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- How much is the box, please? - The best on that's 30.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Best?- Yes, £30.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18I think it's absolutely awful, right?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20But I think there's a profit in that.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Which do you think is older, that... - DEE:- Or you?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- ..or me?- You.- You're right.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- SHE LAUGHS - That's not old.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29You've got a better eye than I thought you'd got. This is...
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- ..remarkably awful, isn't it? Yeah? - But it's so awful, it'll sell.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- MAN:- If it's awful, you'll sell it. - I think that's...
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Yeah, I like that cos it's...
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Actually, it's flat-topped. You can sit on it.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Look nice on a landing.- Or anywhere.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Look better in a dark cupboard somewhere.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50How much are those little pigeonhole things over there?
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- The drawers?- The one with the pewter on the top?- Yeah.
0:09:54 > 0:09:5515 quid.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Right. Well, let's just have a look at those.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00My guess is you don't like that.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- What I would say is...- No, you're right.- ..the answer is no,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07but I'm not looking from a personal point of view.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Certain kitchens would have that in.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Which do you prefer out of that and that dreadful box?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15You really don't like that box, do you?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- You like the dreadful box, though. - I think this would be better.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20You could buy them both.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Could do. Could do a deal.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Shall we have a wander on? Cos it's early days yet.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Remember, Reds, it's your shop, not Phil's.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Have the Blues found something ooh-la-la?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36It is signed by a French artist.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- His bronzes make thousands of pounds.- You're joking.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41It's going to be really expensive.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- WOMAN:- It's not actually that expensive.- Oh?- No.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- I've got 180 on it.- BOTH:- Ooh!
0:10:46 > 0:10:50The absolute death would be 120 for it.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51It's quite unusual.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- It's pewter.- Yes. - It's been amazing...
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- I mean, it is just wacky.- Yes. Yes.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58You've got this crazy fish
0:10:58 > 0:11:02leaping over these sort of wonderful children
0:11:02 > 0:11:04frolicking around in bulrushes and a pond.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- I mean, it's just nuts. If you're going for quirky...- Yeah.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11..that has got quirk blaring out of it.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13But do you want to spend, big girls, or what do you want to do?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15We did say we'd go for lower-priced objects,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18but it's where the heart is, isn't it, sometimes?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Do you love that?- I mean, I think it's really...- Yeah, I like that.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23..amazing cos it's so unusual.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25We haven't had much time, so...keep wandering.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- I think we could potentially... - Shall we come back to it?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30..find something that we could maybe make a bit more money on,
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- but we can certainly come back to it.- OK.- Brilliant.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Thank you, Irita. See you soon. - Thank you.- Have a good trip.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- Will do.- Find some bargains. - Well, we'll try.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43These Blues are taking it all in their stride, aren't they?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Right, time's now coming we've got to buy something, ladies.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Not sure the same can be said for the Reds.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- I'm getting a bit panicky now. - You're getting a bit panicky?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- I'm getting very panicky, let me tell you.- Yeah, yeah.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Very, very panicky.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59No need to panic yet.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02You still have around 40 minutes on the clock. Just focus.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- What are those?- Do you like that?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- SHE LAUGHS - I was just looking...
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Dee and Jean certainly know what they like.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11They just can't find it.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- Are you winning?- Hello again. - Not yet. Hello again.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17We need something cheap and profitable.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19MAN LAUGHS
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- Do you like that? - I don't dislike it,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- but then, it's clean, isn't it? - HE LAUGHS
0:12:24 > 0:12:26I don't think people like to clean these days, do they?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30That's the problem. It's sort of...
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- It's always the price, isn't it? - Yeah.- It's always the price.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36If I remember correctly, Dee spends hours cleaning her silverware.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Ah, ladies, I knew it wouldn't take you long to spot a jewellery stall.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Heaven, you don't want to keep me here too long. Blimey.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46All these beads.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Wonderful.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53This brooch and earring set, priced at £95,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55is bringing a smile to Alison's face.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Scandinavian jewellery is a personal favourite of mine
0:12:57 > 0:12:59because they don't work a lot in gold.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01They didn't believe in actually making jewellery
0:13:01 > 0:13:03for the price of the piece itself.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05They believed in making jewellery for art's sake
0:13:05 > 0:13:08and making jewellery that was incredibly beautiful.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11They used a lot of enamelwork and over the last couple of years,
0:13:11 > 0:13:12- it has become incredibly popular. - Mm.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Do you want to have a look at it? - Yes.- I think so.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Thank you so much.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20So, you've got a pair of clip-on earrings
0:13:20 > 0:13:22and a brooch there.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23So, it's silver-gilt.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25So, it's stamped 925S
0:13:25 > 0:13:29and then it's stamped there DA for David-Andersen sterling, Norway.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- I love the colour. - I mean, at auction,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- I would put them in probably at £50 to £70.- Right.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I think it's a nice...
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Nice that you've got the earrings and the brooch.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I think it's really decorative, very pretty
0:13:40 > 0:13:42and I think lots of ladies
0:13:42 > 0:13:44do actually like blue as a colour, so...
0:13:44 > 0:13:45And it's our team colour.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47It's our team colour, isn't it? The Blues.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50So, yeah, I think it's lovely.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52What could be your best price on that, darling?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Um, I'd do them for 75.- 75. OK.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Is there any chance we could sort of nudge it towards the 60-ish?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Just a bit?- No. - Are you sure?- I'd do 65.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- 65?- I think he said 50. - 50, wasn't it?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- SHE LAUGHS - He's getting cross with me now.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Was it 55?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- What did we say, darling?- MAN:- 65.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- Shall we go for that? - Let's go for it, yeah.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Well, do you love it?- I like it.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- I mean, I like it enough. - Should this be our joint purchase?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- Yes, that's fair. - Yes, all right, then.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- We'll have it as a joint, yes. - So, this could be our joint purchase
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- and we'll get Bongo something. - Yes, OK.- Right, let's go.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Bravo, Blues. Second item in the bag.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Are you pleased, Christina? - I'm so proud of them.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36They are being decisive and they're working really well as a team.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Yeah, we might even get time for an ice cream.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Girls, at this rate, we're going to have time for an ice cream.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Mine's a choc ice, Christina.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47But with just 20 minutes left on the clock,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- the Reds haven't bought a thing. - What about the scales there?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53£78. I mean, I think they're quite cool.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Yeah.- Yeah, I like those. - Really old-fashioned type.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59They look to me like they're, what, '30s or '50s?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01They wouldn't be '40s, war years,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04but they'd be just before or just after, I would think.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Excuse me, sir.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Have you any idea how old these might be, do you think?
0:15:09 > 0:15:10'They look sort of '50-ish to me.'
0:15:10 > 0:15:13That's what I was sort of kind of thinking. And you think this...?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- And they're clearly English cos they're Avery scales.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- This is enamelled.- Yeah.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Glass-plated. Perhaps butchers.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24There's only one thing we need to know is the price, really.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- The price is on top. - No, I saw that.- 60.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32That's too round. We need to come down a little bit.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37- 'That's very round.' - 52 sounds good to me.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- '52?'- 52? Where did you get 52 from?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- I was going to offer him 50. - SHE LAUGHS
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Could you do them for 50 quid?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- I'll do them for 50, yeah. - Do you like them?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- Yeah, I do. I think they're very... - Deal done.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Thank you very much.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Finally, the Reds have taken off.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57The Avery scales are their first item.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59I told you not to panic.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- Stay with us. - HE WHIMPERS
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- We need to find something else now, don't we?- We do. Come on.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09We've got the momentum going now. One down, two to go.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Yes, keep it up, Reds.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13So, whilst the teams carry on with their shopping,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I'll show you what amazing things you can find
0:16:16 > 0:16:17if you pop down to your local auction.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28I'm always after a bit of history, a bit of interest.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30And I was at a saleroom recently
0:16:30 > 0:16:32and I was thumbing my way through the catalogue
0:16:32 > 0:16:36and I came across something that really got me thinking,
0:16:36 > 0:16:37and it was a scrapbook.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Well, not just any old scrapbook. Actually, it was this scrapbook.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45And look at it. It's a bit tatty, it's a bit torn, it's brown,
0:16:45 > 0:16:50but the contents are absolutely wonderful.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54It's a scrapbook belonging to a very famous actress, Evelyn Laye.
0:16:54 > 0:17:00She was born in 1900 and lived for very nearly 100 years.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02She died in 1996
0:17:02 > 0:17:06and she met everybody in the acting world.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08And the moment you open it up,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11you start seeing these very personal images
0:17:11 > 0:17:15and by the second page, there we have, "Noel and myself."
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Noel? Noel who? Noel Coward,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21one of the most famous playwrights of the 20th century.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23A man who wrote Brief Encounter,
0:17:23 > 0:17:27a man who wrote Private Lives.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29And Evelyn Laye featured in a lot of his films.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Suddenly, you come across her singing a wonderful song
0:17:33 > 0:17:35with Kenneth More.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Here, cutting a cake with Kenneth More.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41And the other side of her, we've got Larry.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Who is Larry? Sir Laurence Olivier -
0:17:43 > 0:17:46some would say the greatest Shakespearean actor
0:17:46 > 0:17:48the country has produced.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50And they're all in this album.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53And here comes the coup de grace.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58Nothing more than a waiter's notepad from the Savoy Grill.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00And I'll read it to you.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06"Dear Miss Laye, you look quite staggeringly beautiful.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10"Your dress is lovely, you are lovely
0:18:10 > 0:18:12"and I love you very much.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16"Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, Squitters."
0:18:16 > 0:18:18And I thought, "Squitters? What's that?"
0:18:18 > 0:18:21And, of course, she has annotated, at the bottom,
0:18:21 > 0:18:27"A note from Noel sent across to my table at the Savoy Grill.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31"He signed it Squitters, his pet name for me."
0:18:31 > 0:18:33How exciting is that?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36These sort of notes don't get kept.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39They don't get stuck in albums. They get thrown away.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42How romantic is that?
0:18:42 > 0:18:46And on the opposite page, we've got Danny La Rue,
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Kenneth More again and Laurence Olivier again.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54We've got Derek Nimmo.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58"Yours always, Stanley Baxter."
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I mean, isn't it quite remarkable
0:19:01 > 0:19:05that something like this can be found in an ordinary saleroom?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08And I think I've got a bit of a winner here.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Now, it cost £200,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14but as far as I could tell, I was probably the only bidder.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15There were no other bidders in the room
0:19:15 > 0:19:18because it wasn't in a specialist sale.
0:19:18 > 0:19:24If this went in to that sort of sale with this provenance,
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I just think it could be worth a lot more than £200.
0:19:27 > 0:19:33I think that that one scribbled note from the Savoy is worth £200.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36But, of course, to me, it's far too precious.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I'm never going to sell it.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Right, then, back to it and we're halfway through.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Two-one to the Blues, and they've built up an appetite.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Ooh, smell those bacon butties, girls.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- Do you think we'll get time for an ice cream?- Ooh, that would be nice.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58The Blues may be peckish,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01but the Reds are hungry to track down their next item.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03'Oh, I've got something nice for you.'
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Art Nouveau silver brooch. It's a beauty.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09It's Scottish agate, set in solid silver,
0:20:09 > 0:20:13made in about 1910, 1915.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15There's a hallmark. You could date that.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- Don't tell me what your prize is, but I would have...- 'Yeah. 40.'
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- 40?- '40.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- 'So, I'll do it for 30.' - It's not very clean.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- If it was 20, it might be more desirable.- No, I couldn't.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29'I paid more than that for it, so I couldn't. It's impossible.'
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Do you like it? - 'Not Arts and Crafts, no.'
0:20:32 > 0:20:34I can tell by her face, Phil, she doesn't.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Oh, no! There seems to be a difference of opinion AGAIN.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39If it's going to make money, I'm happy.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- MAN:- It will make money for sure and I reckon you'll get 50 at auction.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44She doesn't like it. I like it.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46But with just the sniff of a possible profit,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48looks like Dee's been persuaded.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- Go with that?- Yeah. - Done?- Done.- Yes, done.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- Thank you very much. - 'That's all right.'
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Dee may not like it, but that's the second item for the Reds.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59It's two apiece. How are we doing for time, Phil?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- We've got 20 minutes. Where now?- Into the sheds.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Blues, are you still ploughing on nicely?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16What do you think about these tractor seats over here?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Well, I'm a farmer's wife,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20so you don't want to talk to me about tractor seats.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Yeah, I think you're right. - They're quite unusual.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Yeah, they have been tractor seats that have been converted
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- into bar stools or, you know, stools, effectively.- Mm-hm.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29They've obviously been refurbed
0:21:29 > 0:21:31cos they've got this new swivel mechanism on them
0:21:31 > 0:21:33and they'd never have been on this base originally.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36So, somebody's taken an old base and put this seat on it.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38I think they're actually incredibly effective.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41And if you think, now, a lot of people have kitchen islands.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44We'd have to buy both of them if we were going to buy them.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Yes, I think you're right.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48What do you think we could get for those at an auction, then?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- You might be looking at £20, £30 apiece.- Yes, OK.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I think I'll go and see how much they are.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- See if you can do a buy one, get one free.- Buy one, get one free. BOGOF.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- THEY LAUGH - That would be quite useful.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I'll have a sit down myself, I think.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- That's a good idea. They are comfy, aren't they?- Aren't they?
0:22:03 > 0:22:04You know the question I'm going to ask you.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- What's the best price? - What's the best price?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- The best price is a straight 100 for the pair.- For the pair?
0:22:10 > 0:22:11So, that's 50 each.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14It's a little bit on the steep side.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18I think probably £100 a pair is a little bit over...
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- We're not going to get much return on it, I don't think.- Right.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22- We'll have a think about it. - No problem.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- We're in this game for profit, so...- Yeah.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Aren't we all?- Yes. - THEY LAUGH
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Quite right, Blues. Stick to your game plan.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32So, Reds, have you sniffed out anything?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- That's rather nice.- Yes.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- What am I looking at? - The perfume bottle.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- You're taking me out of my comfort zone here.- Oh, am I?
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- Oh, OK.- That has neither got rust, nor is it made of wood.- No.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Yes, Phil, but can you smell a profit?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48The thing is, this lady has beautifully presented things,
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- but I think it's going to be a bit too much for us at auction.- Yeah.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- We have now got just ten minutes left.- Ten minutes left.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- Come on. We need to get on. - Let's get cracking.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Oh, crikey, teams, time really is ticking.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05How are you measuring up, Blues?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Sweet.- Oh, that is sweet.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08'That's 20, that one.'
0:23:08 > 0:23:10This is quite sweet cos it's a little advertising one
0:23:10 > 0:23:12for Chamberlain and Sons Ltd.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- READS:- 'Stiffener and leather manufacturers.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- 'Rushden, England.'- Rushden.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- That's where we live. - Yes, it is. I do like it,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21but I do like some drawers I've seen over there as well...
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- Oh, where?- ..so I'd like to look at those.- OK.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26We just need to be aware that we are running out of time.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Oh, isn't that pretty? That's a good spot.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29- Love these handles.- Little acorns.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Yeah, little acorns on the front. Little swing handles.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- SHE GASPS - Ooh, wow.- Oh, wow.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- It's a jewellery casket.- Oh, yes.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Oh, my goodness. - What's the rest of it like?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- Anyway, we're running out of time. - We're running out of time.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Can I ask how much you've got on your cabinet, darling?- 40.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50- 40 on that and 20 on that. - Let's go for the tape measure.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Is there any flexibility on the price on your tape?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Oh, go on. Do 15.- OK.- Then you don't have to take it home.- All right.- 15?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Yeah, that's fine.- Oh, that's great. - What do I do, girls?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Yeah, we'll go for it.- Yes. - Are we done?- Yes, done.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03We've got two minutes. We can keep wandering round.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05We might go down another....
0:24:05 > 0:24:08The Blues have it all taped up. Three items bought. Well done.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Over to the Reds. There's just a few minutes left.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13This is a Philips' nine-inch terrestrial globe.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Harrods Limited of London, Knightsbridge.- Oh.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18You've got a little bit of damage there. A little bit.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21But I just think that's quite a nice thing.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- And these are collectables? - Yeah, massively collectable.- Really?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26It's priced at 295.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28I've had a word with the dealer,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30cos you've got to leave me with something.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33He'll let you have it for 220.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36The risk is, on a bad day, it might make 150, 160.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39On a good day, it might make 300, 350.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- I love this, but that just puts me off it a little bit.- Yeah.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Check your budget, Reds. £220 won't leave Phil with a penny.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- Do you want the postbox? - I like those post...- Why not?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- How old is it? - 'Brand-new.'- Oh, no.- No.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56No. Right, we've got to go, go, go.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Do you like the fire screen?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- No. Do you like the glass? - No.- Right.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- You've got to buy something now. - We've got to buy it.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07You either say, "We'll have the globe" or...
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- We'll have the globe. - That's what you want?- BOTH:- Yeah.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- 11 seconds, Dee. Quick.- Oh, Lordy!
0:25:11 > 0:25:13How are they going to get themselves out of this pickle?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Good sir, good sir, good sir.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17They made a mistake earlier with their sums.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19They haven't got 220 left. That's everything gone.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22If they give you 215, it leaves me with a fiver.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Is that all right?- That's all right. - Cos if it isn't, we're up it!
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Thank you so much.- Phew! You were lucky there, Reds.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Job done. KLAXON
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Right, teams, your time is up.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35That is the closest I've ever been in this programme. It really is.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36There was about a second to go.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Well done.- Yeah, thank you. - Do you know what?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- I thought we were going to have loads of time at the end.- I know.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- So did I.- So relaxed, so laid-back.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- And, actually, we took it a bit close to the wire.- We did, yes.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- Bongo, don't do that to me again. - THEY LAUGH
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Now, let's see what the Red team has bought.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55First up, the Reds weighed in
0:25:55 > 0:25:58and paid £50 for these Avery scales.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Next, they'll be pinning their hopes on this brooch, which cost £30.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11And finally, at £215,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14will this globe have far-reaching appeal at the auction?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17But if I may say so, girls, you're looking a little smug.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18- We are.- Yes.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- Cos you spent a lot of money. - Blew nearly the lot.- Oh!
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- But how easy was it to spend the money?- Yeah, I think it was...
0:26:25 > 0:26:26I think it was harder than we thought.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29It's been an experience much harder than anyone would ever know.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Can I just second that? It most definitely has been an experience.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34- THEY LAUGH - Really.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Charlie, let me tell you, it was one of the longest hours of my life.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38THEY LAUGH
0:26:38 > 0:26:40But one of the most enjoyable, surely.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Goes without saying. It was one of the best, but it seemed like a day.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46THEY LAUGH So, what's your favourite lot?
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- Jean?- Mine is a brooch that I picked, but also the globe.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- And Dee?- Scales. - Scales.- Off the scales.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- That covers all three things. - I know.- Yes.- Marvellous.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Which is going to make the biggest profit?
0:26:57 > 0:26:58- I think the brooch.- The brooch.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Unfortunately, I think the brooch as well, yes.- Why unfortunately?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Cos I like the scales.- Oh! - They're quirky and I think...
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- Who chose the brooch, though? - Me!- Jean.- I know.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- She chose it, you see. - I know. No, I know.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- What do you think? - Well, I love the globe, actually.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- And, of course, you haven't got a lot to hand over, have you?- No.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- CHARLIE LAUGHS - £5.- A fiver.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Well, I think this is what we said at the outset, isn't it?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Don't leave him too much money.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25And may I say, you haven't? THEY LAUGH
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Five quid! CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Spend it wisely.- Spend wisely. What are you going to spend it on?
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Well, I'm very tempted to go and get them an hour-long stopwatch.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- THEY LAUGH - Ooh! Very cutting, that one.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Well, well, well.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42On that jolly note, let's go and see how the Blue team got on.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48For starters, at £20, will this trunk be packed with profit?
0:27:50 > 0:27:55Next, they paid the pretty price of £65 for this brooch and earrings.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01And finally, will this measuring tape go the distance?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03£15 paid.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Well, the way you set off, girls,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09I actually thought you'd done this before.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11THEY LAUGH Disciplined, focused,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13knew what you wanted to do.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15All went a bit wobbly at the end, didn't it?
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- A little bit. - But you bought nice things.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18So, what was your favourite item?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21For me, it was the David-Andersen brooch.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- Were you in agreement? - I did like it very much...- Yeah.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26..but my favourite item was the trunk, definitely.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28I had my heart set on a trunk.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30- You had your heart set on a trunk?- I did.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33I've never met a girl who had her heart set on a trunk before,
0:28:33 > 0:28:36but each to her own. THEY LAUGH
0:28:36 > 0:28:38And what's going to make the biggest profit?
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- I think it'll be the jewellery. The brooch and the earrings.- Yeah?
0:28:41 > 0:28:45- Yeah, I agree. I think it will, yes. - OK, hand over the leftover lolly.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- How much have you got?- £200, sir.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50I'm just checking that you haven't kept some back.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52THEY LAUGH Well, girls, this is the most
0:28:52 > 0:28:58dangerous moment of your lives - handing that girl £200.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00- Spend it wisely. - They're very brave, are they not?
0:29:00 > 0:29:01What are you going to do with it?
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- I didn't really feel that we ticked all of Ali Bongo's boxes.- Right.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- So, I want to get something for you, darling.- OK.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- And you wanted big, you wanted bold, you wanted beautiful.- Yes.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12- You wanted decorative, didn't you? - Yes.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Well, while Christina goes off
0:29:14 > 0:29:16to buy something big, bold and beautiful,
0:29:16 > 0:29:19we'll go down the road to the auction at Lichfield.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32- Richard.- Delighted that you're here, Charlie.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- Well, it's the first time we've met, isn't it?- It is.- Gosh.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Well, I've been looking forward to this moment for some time.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Now, let's see what you think of the Red team's purchases.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44We're going to kick off with a set of Avery scales.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Do you know, I see a lot of Avery scales.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50- Yes, but it's got something about it.- Yeah.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- I quite like that sort of thing, I have to say. You know...- Yeah.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55..from that kind of background as well.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57So, I love the colours, the whiteness of it.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- You know, it's a good looker. - What are these worth?
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- We've gone 30-40.- Yeah. Well, they paid 50, so...
0:30:02 > 0:30:04- Yeah, we're OK with that. - Come-and-get-me estimate?
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- Yeah, yeah, like that, yeah. - Yeah, yeah.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09And they've really not spent much money on the next lot,
0:30:09 > 0:30:12to be honest. It's a little silver brooch
0:30:12 > 0:30:17- with a pietersite stone. Do you know pietersite?- I don't, no.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18Well, do you know, I'm in the same boat,
0:30:18 > 0:30:21so I looked it up and do you know what it said?
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- Calms nervous spirits.- Ah. - HE LAUGHS
0:30:24 > 0:30:25- Have a look at it.- Yes.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Probably best to keep this on me for the sale.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- CHARLIE LAUGHS - It's a bit dull, isn't it?
0:30:29 > 0:30:31We've only put 20 to 30 on it,
0:30:31 > 0:30:33and I don't know if I've overcooked it at that, to be really honest.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Well, they only paid £30 for it,
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- so we're pretty safe on that lot, aren't we?- Yeah, yeah.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Now come to my favourite lot and I suspect yours as well.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43- Yeah, I love it.- Yeah. - It's just got...
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Everyone wants this sort of thing at the moment. It's really in.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49And look at the colour.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- Yeah.- That tells you something, doesn't it?- Yeah. Good maker's name.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- Made by Philips and retailed by Harrods.- That's the word.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57What estimate have you put on it?
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- We've put a pretty punchy 100 to 120.- Yeah.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Do you know, I think that is quite punchy,
0:31:02 > 0:31:05but not when you hear what they paid for it.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10- It begins with a two. - 200-plus, is it?- 215.
0:31:10 > 0:31:11Oh, dear, Charlie.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14It's going to be a pleasure to sell it because I love the object.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16If we're going to get close to that,
0:31:16 > 0:31:18then I think we're just going to have to wait and see.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21It might be, of course, that they'll need a bonus buy.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Let's have a look at what Philip bought.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- Dee, lovely to see you here. - Thank you, Charlie.- Where is Jean?
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Unfortunately, she couldn't make it today,
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- but I have a partner here in Philip Serrell.- A-ha-ha.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Look at this.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Well, Dee, you were a spendthrift, weren't you?- Absolutely.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42- Between you, you managed to spend £295...- We blew it.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44..leaving Lord Serrell with a fiver.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Well, let's have a look. I think you might be disappointed.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Yeah, I think you're going to be very disappointed
0:31:49 > 0:31:52cos all I could find for a fiver was this little clock,
0:31:52 > 0:31:54and I thought it was quite apt
0:31:54 > 0:31:56given the time pressures that we were under.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58So, how much are we going to achieve?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Well, I was kind of hoping that the minimum bid here is £10.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03You know, and then we're home and doubled the money.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05I think it's a good thing.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08I wonder if the auctioneer will think the same.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- Philip went off and made a shrewd investment, I think...- Ha!
0:32:12 > 0:32:18..with the Bakelite faux tortoiseshell-cased clock.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21What do you think? ROBERT LAUGHS
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- Stop giggling.- Um, I don't think
0:32:25 > 0:32:27- he would have paid very much for it...- Correct.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- ..so I think that's a plus.- Yeah. - A really good plus. I don't know...
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Cos I have really early starts.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35..I would trust it to get me up in the morning...
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- CHARLIE LAUGHS - ..with that.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- We've gone £10 to £15 on it. - Yeah.- That's a plus.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43He paid £5 for it.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- Fine. Can't go wrong with that.- Yeah.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49So, it appears to me that that is an out-and-out winner. Can't be bad.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Now, let's have a look at what the Blues bought.
0:32:52 > 0:32:58Now, Alison and Sarah started off by buying a bit of vintage luggage.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- What do you think?- I love luggage. - CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:33:00 > 0:33:02I do. And I love trunks.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05It looks, to everyone, it's a bit battered,
0:33:05 > 0:33:07but that wouldn't take much to get
0:33:07 > 0:33:09- waxed up and cleaned up, would it?- No, no.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12And they're really... You know, at the moment, they're a bit trendy.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Under the bed, that sort of thing.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- It's a nice thing. - What estimate have you put on it?
0:33:16 > 0:33:20- We've gone 40 to 50.- Ooh! Good news. - Is it?- Ooh, it is.
0:33:20 > 0:33:25- Do you know what they paid?- No.- 20. - Chuffed.- Absolutely wonderful.- Yeah.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26The next lot is super, isn't it?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28The David-Andersen brooch and earrings.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- I'm sure you agree with me on this lot.- Yeah, I love it.- Yeah.
0:33:31 > 0:33:37- I love the blue. Um, David-Andersen items are hot at the moment.- Yeah.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Anything from Norway is hot, I have to say,
0:33:39 > 0:33:40cos they're beautifully done.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- Estimate?- 40 to 60.- Yeah. Paid 65.- Perfect.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46That's a perfect guide to the price. Yeah, yeah.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Should be happy with that lot.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50They bought an interesting little lot as well, the third item,
0:33:50 > 0:33:52which is the advertising tape measure.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55It's a fun little item and there'll be a collectable market out there.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- You know, we've only gone £10 to £15 on it. Um...- Paid 15.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- Couple of quick bids from Winterton and you're away.- Can't go wrong.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04No, super-duper.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Well, it's all looking quite good, isn't it, for the Blues?
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Will they need the bonus buy? Let's find out what it is.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Well, this is very exciting, isn't it? What's under there?
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- Oh! Oh, my goodness. - THEY LAUGH
0:34:18 > 0:34:20- A deafening silence. - Is it, what, a duvet?
0:34:20 > 0:34:26It is an early-20th-century paisley eiderdown.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- How much do you think I spent?- £30.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33- Ooh, close. I spent £25 on it. - BOTH:- Ooh!- That's quite close.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35And what will it make?
0:34:35 > 0:34:37So, I think, at auction,
0:34:37 > 0:34:40you're going to be looking at 30 to 50, £40 to £60.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- Something like that.- Ooh, profit. - That's all right, isn't it?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Yes, it's a profit.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Pleasantly surprised, aren't you, girls?
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- But you don't have to make up your mind now.- OK.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49Plenty of time to think about it.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Meanwhile, let's see what the auctioneer thinks
0:34:51 > 0:34:53about Christina's duvet.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Well, for the bonus buy, Richard, it's bedtime.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00- HE LAUGHS - Will we fit in it both together?
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- I'm not sure.- I don't know.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- Depends how well the auction goes, I think.- Yeah, I don't think it's...
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Is it a single or are we a double or are we a king-size?
