0:00:02 > 0:00:03Today...
0:00:04 > 0:00:07..we're in Norwich -
0:00:07 > 0:00:12home to what could be the unluckiest cathedral in the whole world.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15In 1362, the spire was blown down!
0:00:16 > 0:00:20In 1643, a mob ransacked the place!
0:00:21 > 0:00:25And while they say lightning doesn't strike twice, it did here.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27THUNDERCLAP
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Let's hope none of that bad luck rubs off on me or the teams today.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33So let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:57 > 0:01:01We believe you make your own luck on this show.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03But, for the superstitious amongst you,
0:01:03 > 0:01:06you might want to avoid...
0:01:06 > 0:01:08a £13 item.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14And avoid breaking - ooh - any mirrors you might find.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16GLASS SMASHES Oh, no!
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Quick, cut to what's coming up!
0:01:19 > 0:01:23They may be going head to head, but our teams have one thing in common.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- OK, Malcolm. - The ladies are in charge.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Can I have a quick look at the memorabilia?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- I don't really want that. - Will the boys ever get a look in?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Are you going to let Malcolm take the lead with this?- Yeah,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36you do this one. There we are.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- You can buy the next one on your own.- OK.- How's that?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42And there's excitement at the auction.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Come on, come on. - That's awesome.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Yay! - THEY LAUGH
0:01:46 > 0:01:50But before all that, let's meet today's bargain hunters.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53So, it's a Mr and Mrs show today. Love and marriage.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56And in red, we've got Trevor and Catherine,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- and in blue, we've got Malcolm and Anne. Hello. ALL:- Hello.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02So let's get to know the Red team, Trevor and Catherine.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Trevor, I believe you've travelled the world.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Yes, I was lucky enough to be 23 years in the RAF.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13I managed to travel through America, all of Europe,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- and a little bit of north Africa as well.- What did you do for them?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I was an engineer.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24I was even lucky enough to have 20 hours of flying in Jaguar aircraft.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27You're really into your planes, but is there anything else you're into?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30I used to deal with Dinky and Corgi cars.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35I repatriated them from places like America, and from Australia.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38I found out I could buy them for £30 over there, get them shipped to
0:02:38 > 0:02:42the UK. I'd clean them up and sell them back here for about 130 quid.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Oh! You are a right bargain hunter, aren't you?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47THEY LAUGH
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I also hear you are a keen DIYer - is that right?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Yes, and not the normal putting up a shelf.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56I mean, we, actually between us, built the extension on our bungalow.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Is he any good?- He's very good. - Oh, right.- But I'm not.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- You get in the way, do you?- Yes.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Mind you, saying that, he built the extension.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Yes.- We had three walls, inside wall,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11so Trevor had a long one, I had that one, my father had
0:03:11 > 0:03:15that one. We had to have it inspected. The inspector came in
0:03:15 > 0:03:18and he tapped on our walls to make sure the plaster was fine.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21He passed ours, went to Trevor's, he went, "Do-do,"
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- and the whole wall went..."Dzzz!" - Oh, dear.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- So, what do you do, otherwise? - Well, I'm a nurse -
0:03:27 > 0:03:31I've been a nurse for over 30 years. I work as a forensics nurse
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- for the police. I work with them. - What does that involve?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Anyone that has got a medical condition that's arrested,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41needs medication, needs medical treatment,
0:03:41 > 0:03:45we do forensics, so we take swabs and DNA.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- In the mouth, around.- All sorts.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53All sorts. I don't want to know. Tell me, how are you going to operate?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Well, I think we're going to use the expert, and we're going to
0:03:56 > 0:03:59listen to everything they say, we're going to analyse it,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02and then me and the expert are going to what ever Cath says.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- That sounds like a great plan.- What a challenge, eh?- It is a challenge.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Well done. Now, the Blues!
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- How are you doing, Malcolm and Anne? - Thank you.- Fine, thank you, Tom.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Malcolm, tell me...you were also in the RAF - is that right?- Yes, I was,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18like Trevor, spent 23 years in the Royal Air Force. I was a chef
0:04:18 > 0:04:22in the RAF. Catering for anywhere between...
0:04:22 > 0:04:26ten and 20 people, up to the high hundreds sometimes,
0:04:26 > 0:04:30in the bigger units. And anything from feeding aircrew
0:04:30 > 0:04:33in in-flight feeders up to formal balls,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36summer ball, Battle of Britain ball, so quite a wide and varied...
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Yeah. Really wide and varied. You like to do open swimming.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I do, I do. I've taken it up about
0:04:43 > 0:04:47five or six years ago. And I like to swim around a number of open areas.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Lakes. So, I've done some local, and one of them was done in Windermere.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54It was very nice there. Colder, but also nice scenery, but I didn't see
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- much of it, obviously, cos I was swimming.- Head down.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Yeah, head down, crawl, et cetera, et cetera.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03You're both quite fit, aren't you? You're both a bit fitness fanatics.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07And we have something hugely in common. You met each other skiing.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- Yes.- I met my wife skiing.- Oh, right.- So, tell me about the story.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13We went on what they call a solo skiing holiday,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16and I just went because I wanted... I love skiing.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20And people with similar interests, so I booked up, and Malcolm did as well.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22And that's how we met.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25And it was the first night, we were put together,
0:05:25 > 0:05:30as a couple, in a game they'd laid on called The Most Compatible Couple.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32And we won it, actually. Yes.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36So, you guys are quite tactical with your sporting prowess.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Is that going to come forward in the shopping today?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Well, I think the plan is that I'll choose one item,
0:05:42 > 0:05:44and Anne will choose one item,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47and then we'll perhaps get the expert to look at the other item for us.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- Sounds like you've got a plan. - I hope so. And hopefully it works.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Hopefully it does. Well, I'd better give some money. There's £300.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Thank you. - And £300 for you.- Thank you.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Off you go. Your experts await. Have a great time.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I hope this marital bliss continues through the shopping.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05They don't do marriage guidance,
0:06:05 > 0:06:09but we do have experts who can spot a bargain.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I spy with my little eye - it's Nick Hall.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Nice move. Natasha Raskin hooks up with the Blues.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Now, team, what are we looking for today?- Silver and bling.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Oh, I like the sound of that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26I already feel as though I've come between husband and wife,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28but listen, Anne, what are you looking for today?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30What I'd like is some nice Art Deco type jewellery,
0:06:30 > 0:06:32or some nice glassware.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I'd like quirky, but at the same time it's got to be practical.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Practical, blingy.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41I like the idea of things like militaria or kitchenalia.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- OK.- So quite diverse.- OK.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Will they pick up the scent and find a bargain?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49ROOSTER CROWS
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I think this is going to be a difficult day.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Come on, let's get stuck in, you two.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Steady on, Nicholas, you've only just started.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- I get the impression, Anne, you're going to be in amongst it. - Well, I want to be in amongst it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Also, I would like to get my first item under the belt quite quickly.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- I don't know about you.- I'm the same as you. Whatever you say.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09You're well trained, Malcolm.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11The ladies are certainly in control today.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Pots, glass. No.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Those buckets over there, that bath, is quite handy.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20To be honest with you, although it's very functional, I think,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23to a lot of eyes, it's just a bit of a brute.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I think people would like maybe something a little bit more refined
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- in the auction catalogue.- Let's go and find refined, then. - Yes, shall we?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- Oh, tins. Are they worth anything? - I love tins.- You love old tins.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- Can we look at the tins?- Wouldn't keep your biccies in there, Trev.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Rust buckets, aren't they?- You want something nice and early and rare.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42If you're going to auction with it, of course.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44There's nothing really there, is there?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Nothing rare I can see, but good decorative items.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- What on earth is that?- It's a metal rail.- It's a metal rail,
0:07:50 > 0:07:54but there's a sort of a word that is in capital letters on that label.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57"Upcycled." I think we want things in their original condition.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- I agree on that one.- Let the buyers at auction take it and upcycle it.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- We'll buy them something to upcycle!- I agree on that one.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08That's right, Miss Raskin. We don't want you getting your hands dirty.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Do you want to stop and have a look at some silver?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Silver can be good, but you want to make sure you get hallmarked
0:08:13 > 0:08:15silver, not silver plate or foreign imports.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18It's that all-important hallmark that you need.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21And that's what collectors at auction want.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23It was the colours that attracted me, actually,
0:08:23 > 0:08:27but I don't quite know how old it is or what... Where it's from.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30We don't have a sort of maker, we don't know exactly how
0:08:30 > 0:08:34old it is, we don't know if it's Bohemian, if it's French, et cetera.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36We don't have many clues.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- I don't think it's worth a huge sum. - OK.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Don't be frightened to get stuck in and explore and have a good rummage.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46You never know what you might turn up that you haven't initially
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- seen as you walk past.- What about that vase?- The big Japanese one?
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- Yeah.- It's not old enough. I can tell you from here it's not old enough.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58You have cracking eyesight, Nick. And so have the Blues.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00They've spotted a tiny brooch.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- STALLHOLDER:- I've got £40 on for it. I can do it for 30.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07OK, so what's the motif there? What do we have?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10It's got a horseshoe and a little flower in the middle.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- That's really quite sweet, isn't it?- Yes.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Just a very small thing that somebody could put on a jacket
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- or something.- Yes, I think so.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20What we want to see is a little mark on the back,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23and we have that for nine carat gold.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27And it is in quite nice order, actually. It's a nicely made item.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30I mean, the gentleman's saying he can do it for £30.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31I don't think it's too far off.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35If that's the very best price, and I think we're nearly there...
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- That is the very best price. - Not 25?- No, not 25.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Not even 29? Oh, dear.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Every pound counts, believe us. No, I think it's a sweet thing.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46If you want to go down the jewellery route,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48then you do want a precious metal.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51You'd try not to get costume if you want to make a bit of profit.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I think we're going for it, actually.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Cos, you know, the theme as well. - I agree. Horseshoe for luck.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02- Yes.- Do you think that's a good omen for us?- It is. - Yes, it's a good omen.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05OK. Thank you, sir. I think you've done some business there.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Thank you.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Bravo, Blues. First buy after ten minutes. That should make you happy.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Can't say the same for Catherine.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19So far, I haven't found anything that's jumped out at me and gone, "Mmm."
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Oh, dear! They're feeling the pressure.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27- What about that ship wheel thing at the back?- A barometer.- Where's Nick?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Where have you sneaked off to? - I was having a look around.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- I've been trying to find some bargains for you.- What about the barometer?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37I'll be honest with you, I'm struggling. I think, really, we need to change track.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- We need to go inside to the bigger rooms.- Yes, we agree with you.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42We've had a look, OK, we've done as much as we can.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Let's see what else we can find. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Let's hope it's plain sailing when you get inside, Reds.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Talking of planes...
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- That's interesting, isn't it? Like a Vulcan bomber.- Oh, gosh!
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- It's a light.- Is it a light?- I forgot we're with Mr RAF here.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03- That is...- It's like a Vulcan bomber. We are in an RAF sort of area.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Whether someone would buy that... - It depends on the price, really.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08And what's the age? I don't know what age it is.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Unfortunately, it's very new.- It is.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15It's got great decorative appeal but I think, in auction terms,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18it's going to be too modern to really inspire competition.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23But, yes, I forgot that we are in the presence of Mr RAF.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27So I'm now keeping my eyes peeled for all things aeronautical.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Yes, I'm not sure that would take off at the auction.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Maybe there are richer pickings inside.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Oh, my goodness.- Well, there we are. - Oh, that's better.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40So, look, there's a great big avenue full of stores down here,
0:11:40 > 0:11:44fresh, we've not seen. Let's get a good rummage in here, shall we?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48I do like a good rummage. Outside, the Blues are on the case as well.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51So, we've got a paper label on the back here
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- that says it's from Norfolk. Norwich. And we're in Norwich.- OK.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58So, we're in Norwich. And there's our auction in Diss. It is nearby.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00That's Norfolk, the same county.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Super-nearby.- Should we just see how much the gentleman... - Well, it's 95.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- It's 95.- Is it really?- Yes.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I think, at auction, it is likely to fetch something between 40
0:12:08 > 0:12:10and £50, to be honest with you.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I don't know whether it will be anything worth going for, Malcolm, actually.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- No, OK. We had a look anyway. - I like the profit.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- Yeah.- Yes, I think profit in that one is marginal.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Time to pack up and move on. Sorry, Malcolm.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Back to the Reds. Are they ready to shell out on something yet?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- What about card cases, Nick? - Calling card cases.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Yeah, quite collectable.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Particularly the late Georgian, Victorian ones.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Condition is all-important, and material as well.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Yes, and that's nice, isn't it? - What sort of money are they?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- STALLHOLDER:- Pricing on them is 85, but I would let you choose one of the three for 60.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Would 50 be 60-ish?
0:12:49 > 0:12:5250 is just a bit too low for "ish".
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- 55 for one of those.- On that one could be 55?- It could be, yes.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Couldn't be 52?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- 53 and we have a deal on that.- 53.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Now, 53 doesn't sound too bad to me.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06It sounds like there's a bit of a margin in there.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09We've got this Victorian card case, made of mother of pearl,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11abalone shell.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15It's a case, really, of whether you two want to buy it,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17take that risk, go to auction.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Well, I think, at 53, we are in with a chance.- 53.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Is that a yes?- Are you actually in agreement, you two?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Well, I want it for 50.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26THEY LAUGH
0:13:26 > 0:13:29If you won't agree with me, and you boys aren't going to agree with me...
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Someone has got to make a decision here.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- STALLHOLDER:- I'll make a decision on £53.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- 53.- Yes, 53.- Go on, then. - Thank you very much.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40That's buy number one in the bag, Reds.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43You have 40 minutes to find the next two.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47So, calling card case. There's more stalls calling us.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Yes, we best get on. - More shopping to do. Thank you.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Watch out for the Blues, though, Reds. They're hot on your heels.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Oh, we're close to being inside now.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Should we just full steam ahead and let's just get in there?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- Get in amongst it.- OK. Malcolm. - Cap badges.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Malcolm.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Do as you're told!
0:14:06 > 0:14:10So while our teams look for item number two, let's take
0:14:10 > 0:14:13a butcher's at something I've found at a fair just like this.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21Once when I was in Builth Wells, I found this rather magical seed pot.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26This is what we call a gourd. It's a seed pod for containing seeds.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29If you rattle it, you can hear all the seeds inside.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I was walking around the fair and I saw this
0:14:31 > 0:14:33and I thought, "That looks interesting."
0:14:33 > 0:14:37It's carved with all these magical, mythical figures.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40It reminded me of a children's book,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42the book I would read to the children.
0:14:42 > 0:14:48I would imagine this is from South America, probably dateline 1920s.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51You've got to imagine the family who would have brought this back.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55They wouldn't have just got on a plane from Heathrow or Gatwick
0:14:55 > 0:14:58and flown to Rio. No, this would have been a cruise.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01This would have been on a ship crossing the ocean.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05You end up in South America and you'd be walking around a town
0:15:05 > 0:15:07and you'd be offered many, many things.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11You can imagine the man or woman thinking, "Oh, I quite like this.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13"It's a little thing to have.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16"It's not to do anything, it's to look at. It reminds me."
0:15:16 > 0:15:18They might have fallen in love with the animals
0:15:18 > 0:15:20like I fell in love with.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23They're all a bit mad and they're all a bit scary
0:15:23 > 0:15:26but it's rather magical.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I would have thought it's been engraved
0:15:28 > 0:15:31so the gourd has been dried out and a sharp blade,
0:15:31 > 0:15:36knife or needle has been applied to engrave right inside
0:15:36 > 0:15:40and make these beautiful animals, palm trees.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45My favourite is this grinning monkey. He looks really cheeky.
0:15:45 > 0:15:51So, what's its worth? All those years ago, I paid £40 for it.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52What's it worth now?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56In the correct sale, say in an ethnographica travel sale
0:15:56 > 0:15:59or in an Asian sale, £200 to £300.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Let me plant that seed with you.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Back to the shopping
0:16:07 > 0:16:11and our teams have one buy apiece and 30 minutes left on the clock.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14The Blues have come in from the cold.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17A whole different kettle of fish, isn't it?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- And it's quite warm too! - Lovely and warm.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I expect some red hot haggling from both teams.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Oh, look! It looks like a spider.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32I'll tell you what - you might be on to something with that.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Is that a piece of Alessi? It is.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Alessi is one of the great 20th-century designers
0:16:39 > 0:16:43and of course, modern design, 20th century design, mid century,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46all these buzzwords are bang on trend at the minute.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48What would they use it for?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50A lot of these are lemon squeezers, aren't they?
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- Yes.- Really?- Then made to look like an alien spaceship.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Where is the hallmark on that?
0:16:57 > 0:17:01It's not hallmarked because it's not silver. It's a base metal.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03It's certainly got the factory marks,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06it's got the Alessi stamp on it.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10It's a million miles away from that Victorian piece we've just bought.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12We're right bang up to date here with this.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Are you comfortable with that? Do you like it?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18- How much do you think this would make at auction?- Hard to tell.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22It's a young buy for a smart, contemporary, modern kitchen.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24You didn't answer the question there, Nick.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28OK, so you've got 40 on here. Could we juice it down a bit more?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- 25?- Oh, 25 - that sounds good.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37What do you think? Oh, don't worry what he thinks. I like it!
0:17:37 > 0:17:41You very nearly got a say in this, Trevor! Very nearly got a say in it.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45I'll tell you what - you can buy the next one on your own. How's that?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47If it helps, I think she might be on to something with this.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Yes, I quite like it.- Are you happy?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I know it's sad, but yes, I do like it.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Great discount, Reds.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56You should squeeze some profit out of that.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59And by the way, you've less than 20 minutes to go.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Cathy has been passionate. - You can look but don't touch.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Poor old Trev doesn't get a look in
0:18:04 > 0:18:07so I'm really having to drag Trevor in to give him some input
0:18:07 > 0:18:11but it's definitely Cathy that's leading this.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Can I have a quick look at the memorabilia?
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Come on. We don't really want that. Find something glittery, Trev.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I'm not sure Trev is the man for sparkles.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22But Malcolm is doing his best.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- Jewellery over here.- Sorry?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- Jewellery. - We've got jewellery, haven't we?
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Poor blokes - it's definitely the ladies wearing the trousers today.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- Nick! Come on, run. - All right, all right.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Gosh, I can't keep up with you. What have you found now?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- What do you think of these? - Pretty. Are they hallmarked silver?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- I don't know.- Have you been listening?- We haven't looked yet.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- We haven't picked them up yet. - Now, let's have a look.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52Stylistically, we've got classic Art Nouveau, circa 1900.
0:18:52 > 0:18:59What we really want is for there to be a hallmark on there somewhere.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- What's that there?- Well spotted.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Look, if we can just...
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Now, those hallmarks have been rubbed and rubbed
0:19:07 > 0:19:08and worn and rubbed.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Someone has very lovingly polished these day in, day out.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- They've almost rubbed the hallmarks out.- Oh, wow.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18What I can see is the lion passant
0:19:18 > 0:19:21that tells us it's English hallmarked silver,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23British hallmarked silver.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25It's interesting - when you read the ticket,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28it didn't mention them being hallmarked silver.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I'm wondering, hope upon hope, it's because the dealer
0:19:30 > 0:19:32might not have seen that.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- He might have seen it. - Don't say anything, Nick.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36That's what I'm saying.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Mum's the word if he hasn't.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Your secret's safe with us.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Now, let's see if the Blues are in need of any support.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45What is it appeals to you about the walking stick?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Is it the fact that it still has a function?
0:19:48 > 0:19:49It has a function but also,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52people that have it for effect as well usually
0:19:52 > 0:19:54and if they're not too pricey,
0:19:54 > 0:19:56there may be a small amount of profit in them.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Do you want to take a closer look, Malcolm?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Here we are, and what you're looking for on the top there
0:20:00 > 0:20:01is a silver hallmark.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04See if you can clock one.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08There you are - the silver hallmarks are just there.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12They are quite faded and the handle itself is a little bit battered
0:20:12 > 0:20:14and bruised. It's not in great condition so maybe
0:20:14 > 0:20:18if we can spot one that has silver but is in better condition,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- we may be on to a bit more of a winner there.- This one is silver.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25OK, that looks more dainty and ladylike, doesn't it?
0:20:25 > 0:20:29OK, so what have we got here? We've got more of a lady's cane.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Silver terminal again, silver collar this time
0:20:32 > 0:20:36and quite clearly on the handle we've got the hallmarks there.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- I think it's quite good. - Yes, it's nice, that.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42No price on it, so, Anne, what do you think? Are you going to let Malcolm take the lead?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Yes, you do this one, since I chose the brooch.
0:20:45 > 0:20:51Hopefully our camera-shy stallholder will put a smile on Malcolm's face.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Fine, he said he can do that for 50.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Little bit of a squeeze at £50.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59I think it's a bit close to the bone.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Just while you were away,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I clocked this lovely wee swagger stick on the side here.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04It's different to a cane,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07it's more about adding a bit of authority to your stance.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I think it's quite nice because it's modelled with the head
0:21:10 > 0:21:14of some sort of setter or hunting dog or something.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Quite good appeal and it would be very good
0:21:17 > 0:21:20if we could get a deal on the two. Let's try and make a little job lot.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25- See what you can do now, dear. - Walking stick and swagger stick.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- See what you can do. Can you do your magic?- I'll do my best, dear.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- Very, very, very best.- My very, very best?- Yes, your very, very best.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35No pressure, Malcolm!
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Let's see if the Reds can sweet-talk the owner of the vases.
0:21:38 > 0:21:44- What's your best price on that? - What have we got here? 148.
0:21:44 > 0:21:50- Could we possibly get it down to two rather than three figures?- What, 99?
0:21:50 > 0:21:56- Something like that. 95-ish. - Let's go 95 and I'll do a deal.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00For the pair, 95 quid? OK. Is that the absolute death?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I think that's the death. I think I've done you a good deal.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06You have, actually. I'm happy with that but it's down to you.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Shake the man's hand, then.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12About 35% off, thank you very much indeed.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15He can be very decisive when he wants to, can't he?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I'm going to shake your hand and, Trev,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I'm going to shake yours even more. Good buy! Well done, you!
0:22:21 > 0:22:25I'm not sure how much of that was down to Trevor but well done anyway.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28That's your shop done and dusted with 15 minutes to spare.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- Cheers to us and cheers to you, Trevor.- That's the way it is.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Left out again! Come on, let's get him a proper drink, shall we?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Yes, let's go.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Back to the Blues.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Has Malcolm thrashed out a price for those canes?
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- I did my very, very best.- Well done. And?- For the two, we got £55.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Oh, well done.- That's fantastic - you're a genius.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Thank you very much. I did it with a swagger.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58I see, the swagger stick under your arm, cane on the ground.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Let's go looking for our third item. Well done, sir.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04You've had some stick, Malcolm, but that is a great deal.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Just ten minutes to go.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I thought these guys would be quick and easy but, actually,
0:23:08 > 0:23:12they're quite indecisive and Anne, who thought she would take the lead,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15is turning to Malcolm a lot more than I think she expected to.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17This is no time for you to lose your head, Anne,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19as you look for your final lot.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I wonder if the Reds are happy with theirs.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Are you happy with what you've bought?
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Is what you were expecting to buy?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Sort of.- No, I wanted silver and I wanted...
0:23:28 > 0:23:30You got silver.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I can't believe we still agreed on everything.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Well, not the prices.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37I think, strictly speaking, you're still not agreeing too much!
0:23:37 > 0:23:40What we need now is for the Blues to agree on their last item.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42They've got ten minutes to decide.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I know you were looking for a little bit of glass.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Work with me on this one. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52It's a decanter in the form of a duck.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54We don't have any cut glass,
0:23:54 > 0:23:58we don't have any beautiful silver collars or anything like that.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01We also don't really seem to have a brand or maker or anything,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04but it's quite good fun. Got that novelty element.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07The stopper is a blinking duck's head!
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- It's the best thing I've ever seen. - What's the price, first? £30?
0:24:10 > 0:24:15- £30 is all right.- It looks solid. - It doesn't look too damaged.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- No chips out of the stopper or anything?- No.- What about the base?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Keep a firm hold of the stopper and have a wee look at the base.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Do we see any pontil marks or anything?- Very smooth.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27So probably quite modern.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- It kind of smacks of the 1960s or something, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Is he you bringing you joy? - What do you think, dear?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Well, it's something but I'm just looking at that cranberry glass.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Would that be something? Would that be better?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41What I would point out is the difference between the two
0:24:41 > 0:24:43is just a little bit of fun.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47The cranberry glass is a little bit Victorian and stiff,
0:24:47 > 0:24:49whereas the duck decanter is just the kind of thing
0:24:49 > 0:24:52that a good auctioneer should be able to say, "Come on,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54"this is a good bit of fun, let's get a price on this."
0:24:54 > 0:24:56What would a good auctioneer sell it for?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- I'd want half price as a retail price.- At least 15?
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Yeah, I'd want half price.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- If we can get it for 20, I would still go for it.- I did the last one.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06OK, and it's not very heavy anyway.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Tick-tock, tick-tock. Five minutes left, Blues.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- 25.- 25.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I suppose it's not much to lose if we do make a loss on it
0:25:15 > 0:25:16but we want to make a profit.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20- Shall I see if I can go away and get it nearer 20?- Give it a shot.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- Are you up for it? - I'm up for it.- Squeeze it hard.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26The thing I love as well is that, can you imagine Thomas Plant
0:25:26 > 0:25:28sitting at that auction table, saying, "I love this"?
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- He's going to hate it.- 22?- Oh, 22. - £3 could be it.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34What do you think?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- 22, two little ducks. - Shall we do it?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- Yes!- Oh, that's a very good sign.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Just in the nick of time.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43WHISTLE BLOWS
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Teams, it's time to wake up and smell the coffee.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Your 60 minutes are up.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I think we should go fill that with something
0:25:49 > 0:25:54- and get rid of it straightaway. - Something red!- Something red!
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58After some pearls of wisdom from Nick,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01they bought the Victorian card case for £53.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08The lemon squeezer from Alessi was £25. Will it make a juicy profit?
0:26:08 > 0:26:11The Art Nouveau vases cost £95.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Hopefully, their haggling will make all the difference.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- Guys, that was like Speedy Gonzales! - That's because they listened to me.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Is it all down to you?
0:26:20 > 0:26:23No, Trevor can get the blame for one of the items.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- Trevor, what's the best item? - Oh, it's definitely the card box.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I think that's a really lovely little item.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- The mother-of-pearl card case? - Yeah, I really like that.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34What's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:26:34 > 0:26:40- I hate to say this but her alien thing.- The alien thing?- My juicer.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- How much did you spend? - A hundred and...- 173.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45That's really good. Well done.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- So that's £127 you've got left. - Yes.- Can I have it, please?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Do you really want it?- I do. I can see you're in charge.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- You were reluctant with that, weren't you?- I am.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Nick, how's it been?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I think Trevor and I were mere passengers.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Well, this time, you can swap that around and you can be the driver.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Now I'm in charge and I can go and have a good old spend up with that.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Thank you.- Make sure it's something really nice.- As always, ma'am.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Well, with all of that, then,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19This Victorian bar brooch cost £30,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22but will the horseshoe bring the Blues good luck?
0:27:22 > 0:27:26They couldn't walk away from the swagger stick and cane. £55 paid.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30The decanter with the duck head stopper cost £22.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Does that make it a "duck-canter"?
0:27:33 > 0:27:35How was that for you guys?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37It was very enjoyable. A bit stressful.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39OK, so, Malcolm, what's your favourite item?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- The swagger stick and the walking stick.- Oh, lovely.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- What's going to bring the biggest profit?- Those.- Those items?
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- Yes.- There is a complete shake here. What is your favourite item?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52My favourite item was the little brooch pin we got
0:27:52 > 0:27:55which was a horseshoe and a bit of edelweiss on.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57I think that will bring the most profit.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- So, you like that and the biggest profit?- Yes.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04- So, how much did you spend?- We spent £107.- 107?- Yes.- Is that all?
0:28:04 > 0:28:06That was all! Yes, bargains.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- So you've got £193. - That's right, yes.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- Can I have that, please? - Yes, you can.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13What a wonderful amount of money.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- 193. There you are.- Thank you. - What you going to do with it, Tasha?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19I think I'm going to explore.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Seeing as I've got all this cash to splash, I'll take my time.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Natasha, it sounds like you've got a plan,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27so let's head off to the auction just down the road.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Well, how delightful to be here in Diss
0:28:36 > 0:28:39at TW Gaze with auctioneer Elizabeth Talbot.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43- Hello, Thomas, lovely to have you here.- Thank you very much.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Now, we've got the Reds, we've got Trevor and Catherine.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49First item was a late Victorian mother-of-pearl abalone
0:28:49 > 0:28:53calling card case. We see a lot of these, don't we?
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Yes, they are quite prolific. They were made in large quantities
0:28:56 > 0:28:59and everybody in the Victorian period wanted one because it was
0:28:59 > 0:29:02fashionable to have, so they've survived in large quantities.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03They have, haven't they?
0:29:03 > 0:29:05The problem we face with these things
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- is there's no other use for them now.- Very true, yes.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Unless you're a collector cos you like them,
0:29:09 > 0:29:11you wouldn't use them for any alternative.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15- Business cards, no.- Wrong size. - Wrong size, and it's fragile.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- Your estimate is?- £35 to £50.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23- 53 paid. The next item - I have one of these at home.- Do you?
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- I put it down on my wedding list. - Oh, I say.
0:29:26 > 0:29:31- I don't think I've used it. - It's one of those archetypal things.
0:29:31 > 0:29:36Everybody recognises it as a piece of high design but again,
0:29:36 > 0:29:38it's not a rare object. They were mass produced.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40They were churned out in large quantities.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45- Your estimate is?- It's £20 to £30. - £25 paid.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49For a proper antique, a pair of silver Art Nouveau vases.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52They are pretty, aren't they?
0:29:52 > 0:29:56I quite like the shape, and the dimensions suit the pattern.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01It's quite spiky, the design, isn't it? I do quite like those.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04- I like those, I have to say. - How do you think that will do?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- We've put £80 to £100 on them. - £95 paid.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- I don't think that's out of the way. - No, shouldn't be.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12It could make it at the upper end,
0:30:12 > 0:30:15but let's take a look at their bonus buy.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16They might need it.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23You left Nick with £127. Nick, what did you do with 127?
0:30:25 > 0:30:30- I went and bought myself this.- Oh. - What do you mean, "Oh," Catherine?
0:30:30 > 0:30:33That's gone down like a lead...
0:30:33 > 0:30:36You're supposed to say "wow", not "oh"!
0:30:36 > 0:30:39It's Art Deco, French glass, I think from Monaco.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40Obviously a liqueur set.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43You've got the original tray, the glasses and the decanter,
0:30:43 > 0:30:45which is nice to find the whole lot still there.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50- And Deco is on trend, so why not? - How much did you pay for it?- £45.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52How much do you think it will make?
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Er...well, a little bit more than that, I hope.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57I'd have thought £50 to £70, maybe. Something like that.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00It's not going to make us rich, Nick?
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Well, you won't be retiring on it, no.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05You don't have to decide now.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08But for the viewers at home, let's see what the auctioneer
0:31:08 > 0:31:11thinks about Nick's decanter liqueur set.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Tell me what you think of that.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- Well I think it's very of its period, isn't it?- Mm-hm.
0:31:18 > 0:31:23And, er... So that's got to... 1950s, I'm guessing. '40s, '50s.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25The sets themselves...
0:31:25 > 0:31:29It is a variant on the types we see frequently.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31What I do like is the fact it's with the tray.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33We put £40 to £60 on it but that's really...
0:31:33 > 0:31:35It's the aesthetic look of it,
0:31:35 > 0:31:37rather than the fact it's rare, collectable,
0:31:37 > 0:31:40but it's a unit with the tray and the yellow really sets it off.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42It does, doesn't it?
0:31:42 > 0:31:46Nick's been clever, he's got it with a tray and he paid £45.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- So your estimate of 40 to 60? - It might recoup.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- It might, it's stylish. Now, on to the Blues.- Yes.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58The first lot is the Victorian nine-carat-gold bar brooch
0:31:58 > 0:32:00with the horseshoe and flower.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02It's like a forget-me-not, isn't it?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Yes, a little token, really.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06I always think they should be so wearable.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10It amazes me that people don't take delight in reutilising these.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12It just seems they are off the boil at the moment.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14People don't seem to want them for wearing, certainly.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18You've put a really small estimate on this.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21It's what I think is a realistic estimate for what it is, £10 to £15.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24I think that's totally realistic. £30 paid.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Next, on to something,
0:32:26 > 0:32:30a swagger stick with a plated spaniel's head, which has been
0:32:30 > 0:32:37stuck on there, and a horn-handled walking cane with silver ends.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Starting with the one with the spaniel, again,
0:32:39 > 0:32:41anybody who is interested in dogs -
0:32:41 > 0:32:43they quite like anything which visually represents dogs.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45I can see that being eye-catching for some people
0:32:45 > 0:32:48but I don't think it has many merits in terms of a piece of art.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51It's very straightforward.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53The other piece - it's nice, it's authentic,
0:32:53 > 0:32:57the silver is there, but again, it's quite worn and simple.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- You've put an estimate of...? - £40 to £60 on those.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03They paid middle estimate, £55.
0:33:03 > 0:33:08The next item is the 20th-century decanter with an associated
0:33:08 > 0:33:10duck-head stopper.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14You can almost see somebody saying, "I quite like that!"
0:33:14 > 0:33:18To have a bit of a novelty on the table... It's not so precious that
0:33:18 > 0:33:21you wouldn't perhaps use it around the dinner table at a dinner party.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26- It's a bit of a talking point. - Absolutely.- We put £30 to £40 on it.
0:33:26 > 0:33:31- £22 paid.- Hey, we're getting exciting now.- It could fly.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Or alternatively, it might nosedive.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Well, in that case, then, let's have a look at Natasha's bonus buy.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38They might need it.
0:33:40 > 0:33:45You left Tasha here with £193. What did you do with it, Natasha?
0:33:45 > 0:33:52I found World War I items related to cooking, believe it or not!
0:33:52 > 0:33:55So, we've got this lovely French campaign stove.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59A World War I stove for the trenches and if you open it up,
0:33:59 > 0:34:01probably, Anne, if you go for it.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05That is, believe it or not, a wee campaign knife and fork set.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08How good is that!
0:34:08 > 0:34:09It's just a case of,
0:34:09 > 0:34:13do we have the World War I buffs looking online or in the room?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- Don't break it, dear. - I hope they are.- Love that.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19"Don't break it, dear." So, you guys have not asked the all-important...
0:34:19 > 0:34:22I was just about to ask. How much did you fork out for that?
0:34:22 > 0:34:27Oh, Malcolm, you're a genius. Well, altogether, do you know what?
0:34:27 > 0:34:30I look back and think, "Did I splash out a bit?"
0:34:30 > 0:34:35- because I did spend £65 on the two. - People love campaign items.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Campaign furniture is so fashionable and so sought after.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- How much do you think we'll get for them?- It could do 70. I don't know.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44For the viewers at home, let's see what the auctioneer thinks
0:34:44 > 0:34:47about the campaign knife and fork and stove.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51I think you can open that.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Ah! Have knife and fork, will travel.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Absolutely. I love travel antiques.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Travel antiques are great, aren't they?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00You don't actually see very many of them
0:35:00 > 0:35:03and they are quite nice to see - a little knife and fork like that.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06I think that's where the value lies and I quite like that.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09It's got a maker's name on it, as well.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11They'll probably sell for around £30 to £50, I think.
0:35:11 > 0:35:16OK, Natasha sort of doubled that and spent £65 on it.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17I think, Elizabeth,
0:35:17 > 0:35:20both sets of teams are going to need your expertise.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- Well, I shall certainly try. - You're on, aren't you?- I am on, yes.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26We are definitely in safe hands.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Surely once more?
0:35:28 > 0:35:30All done.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31At 55, I have.
0:35:31 > 0:35:3460 bid. Done.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- How are you feeling?- I'm all right as long as I keep my hands down.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Oh, really? You can't bid on your own lots, you know that? Trevor?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Optimistic. What we bought, we're going to have to be optimistic.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46I love that line.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48So, the late Victorian mother-of-pearl
0:35:48 > 0:35:50and abalone calling card case. Catherine, this was your item.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Interest on the sheet shown and I start here at £30.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57£30 is bid straightaway.
0:35:57 > 0:36:0032, 35, 38 and 40.
0:36:00 > 0:36:0342, 45.
0:36:03 > 0:36:0748, the lady. 50, I have.
0:36:07 > 0:36:1250 is with me. You're out again. Both out now at £50. Any advance?
0:36:12 > 0:36:14She's done really well. £50.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18You paid 53 - that is minus £3. The next item
0:36:18 > 0:36:23- is the Philippe Starck.- My spider. - The lemon squeezer by Alessi.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27There is interest on the sheet shown here. I start at £8.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31£8 I have. 10, 12, 15, the lady.
0:36:31 > 0:36:3318, 20, 22, 25, 28, 30.
0:36:33 > 0:36:3532, 35, 38.
0:36:35 > 0:36:3840 is now the lady and I've lost the gentleman behind.
0:36:38 > 0:36:43It's with the lady. I've lost you by the door. 40. 42, new bidder.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48- 45, 48, 50 going to my left. - Doubled your money.
0:36:48 > 0:36:53Looking for five elsewhere. It's £50 to my left.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- You could buy a new one for that! - £50 and it will sell.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59£50! That's awesome.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03So that is plus 25.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05That means you are plus...
0:37:05 > 0:37:06My one won!
0:37:06 > 0:37:10Calm down, you. You are plus 22.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14Next is the really lovely Art Nouveau vases.
0:37:14 > 0:37:1850 to start. Treat yourself. £50.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23Come on. Two of them. £50. £30 bid.
0:37:23 > 0:37:2532, 35,
0:37:25 > 0:37:2738, 40,
0:37:27 > 0:37:3042, 45, 48,
0:37:30 > 0:37:3250, new bidder.
0:37:32 > 0:37:3450 is now upstairs with the lady.
0:37:34 > 0:37:40That's still not a lot, they should be worth at least 55. 60. 65.
0:37:40 > 0:37:45And 70. 75. It's 75 downstairs.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49They are beautiful. At 75 and selling.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- 75.- That was Nick's item. - You've got no taste!
0:37:55 > 0:38:00Minus £20. Means you are plus £2.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Come on, that's a pound each. And nothing for me.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07It's not going to pay for a holiday in the Bahamas, is it?
0:38:07 > 0:38:09No, it's a chocolate bar each.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Now, look, the next lot is Nick's bonus buy.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Now, what are you going to do?
0:38:14 > 0:38:20- Go for it.- Going to go for it? - Are we?- Just nod - it's easier.
0:38:20 > 0:38:21Start me at 30.
0:38:23 > 0:38:2420, I'll take.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Come on, Diss, don't let me down!
0:38:26 > 0:38:28£20. Where are the liqueur drinkers in Norfolk?
0:38:28 > 0:38:3120 bid, thank you. Upstairs at 20.
0:38:31 > 0:38:36Where are you now at two? Come on, it's for nothing at £20.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40They'll be going home crying at £20. Where is two? We're all done.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44£20, so that's a minus... I'm sorry, guys,
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- Minus 25...- Wasn't the right day for it, was it?
0:38:47 > 0:38:51..which means you are minus 23 all over.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56- Now, that could be a winning score. - Yeah, right.- Don't tell the Blues.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Go in poker-faced. We'll find out later.
