0:00:03 > 0:00:06Today, we are in the home of the Bramley apple

0:00:06 > 0:00:08in Southwell, Nottinghamshire.

0:00:08 > 0:00:12Apple pips were planted in a garden near here and by the time the

0:00:12 > 0:00:15tree had grown and started producing fruit,

0:00:15 > 0:00:19Matthew Bramley owned the garden and that's where the name came from.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22But right now, it's crunch time.

0:00:22 > 0:00:27There's an antiques fair here today, so let's go Bargain Hunting!

0:00:53 > 0:00:57There should be fruitful pickings here at Southwell Racecourse.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01With ?300 and just 60 minutes on the clock,

0:01:01 > 0:01:04let's hope our teams don't crumble.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07So, let's have a look at what's in store.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11On today's show, one of the Reds is horrified...

0:01:11 > 0:01:13LAUGHTER

0:01:13 > 0:01:16You look absolutely terrified. I am.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19..the Blues get a surprise...

0:01:22 > 0:01:25..and by the time we get to auction, there's disbelief...

0:01:27 > 0:01:29..and jubilation.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Well, we've got all that to look forward to,

0:01:32 > 0:01:34but let's meet today's teams.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37For the Reds, we've got friends Dawn and Jo

0:01:37 > 0:01:41and for the Blues, we've got married couple Mike and Pauline.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Hello, everyone. ALL: Hello.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47Dawn, you became friends with Jo through your love of dogs,

0:01:47 > 0:01:49didn't you? Yeah, absolutely.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Jo brought one of her girlies round to meet one of my boys

0:01:52 > 0:01:55and had a litter from it and then we've been friends ever since.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58So, dogs are really a big part of your life.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00I was a probation officer for 13 years

0:02:00 > 0:02:03and then I had breast cancer.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05And so, I decided I needed to take some stress out of my life

0:02:05 > 0:02:07and change my life completely.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09So, about five years ago,

0:02:09 > 0:02:12I left work and set up my own business.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14I work for myself now training dogs.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18I've shown and bred dogs for about 25 years now, so I've always

0:02:18 > 0:02:22done it, but when you are working, you can only do limited stuff.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Now I can do it much more intensely.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Jo, you had a change of career as well, didn't you?

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Yes. Tell me about that. I worked in a farm shop for 14 years.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31I bred mainly Shetland ponies.

0:02:31 > 0:02:36We showed them and recently, I've downsized to dogs and I'm

0:02:36 > 0:02:39hoping to show those as well. We have our first show soon.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Dawn is my teacher. She tells me what to do.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Is she the bossy one? Oh, yes. SHE LAUGHS

0:02:44 > 0:02:46You seem to know a lot about dogs,

0:02:46 > 0:02:49but what do you know about antiques and collectables?

0:02:49 > 0:02:50I don't know an awful lot.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53I used to go to antiques fairs with my mum before the dogs took

0:02:53 > 0:02:58over my life and... So I don't know much, but Jo knows a lot more.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02So, if you are showing dogs, does that mean you are quite competitive?

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Very. If I'm in it, I want to win it.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08And do you want to win today's competition? Absolutely.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10We wouldn't be in it if we didn't want to.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13We want the golden gavel. That's fighting talk.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16So, that's our Red team, now on to our Blue team.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19Now, Pauline, how did you meet husband Mike?

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Well, Mike and I were both in Birmingham at Polytechnic

0:03:22 > 0:03:24doing our degrees in English, but we were a year apart.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28Mike was the year ahead of me on the course.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32And paths crossed at a coffee bar, stuff like that and, you know...

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Fell in love? Well, yeah.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Now, after studying English, you went on to be a teacher,

0:03:37 > 0:03:38is that right?

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Yes, a primary school teacher initially.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43I also did some work in special education for kids with

0:03:43 > 0:03:44communication difficulties.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46That's a very worthwhile job. I mean, for any...

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Absolutely wonderful. For any teacher, it's great,

0:03:49 > 0:03:52when whatever you teach is helpful, you know, whether it's in special Ed

0:03:52 > 0:03:55or normal Ed. Mike, you are involved in teaching as well.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58I was a primary school teacher as well, yes, for about 35 years.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01But you are both retired now? Yeah! Indeed we are, yes.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Enjoying it. Yeah!

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Now, you've been married for 36 years,

0:04:05 > 0:04:07so obviously you are not a bad team.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09LAUGHTER

0:04:09 > 0:04:12But what are your tactics going to be out there?

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Will you still be a good team?

0:04:15 > 0:04:16We usually agree, don't we? I think so, yes.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Yeah, I think Pauline will make a very good negotiator.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Really? Just to complete the set, we want the golden gavel as well.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Oh, right. LAUGHTER

0:04:24 > 0:04:26You all want the golden gavel. Indeed, yes.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29I'd better get the money out, then, and let you get started.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31?300 there. Ooh!

0:04:31 > 0:04:33?300 here.

0:04:33 > 0:04:38Your experts await. Off you go and good luck, folks.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40ALL: Thank you.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Two sets of golden gavels,

0:04:42 > 0:04:45we've got a lot of competition on our hands today.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49So, let's meet today's experts.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Hoping to cook up some profits for the Reds, it's...

0:04:54 > 0:04:56And for the Blues, it's our very own showman...

0:05:00 > 0:05:02What are we looking for today, then?

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Well, I'd quite like to find some Art Deco silver, if possible.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Buy cheap, buy cheap. Don't like expensive. Oh!

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Something that's really handy these days.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12At time was, would have been really useful and still is today.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15I'd like to find something small and collectable.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Small and practical, silver and decorative.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20Right, teams, your time starts now.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Let's go shopping. Let's go shopping.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Wish me luck. I'm wishing both our teams luck, Mark.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28And it looks like the Reds are starting outside.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31I don't think people do picnics, do they? Not any more.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33There are people that collect them, but to be honest,

0:05:33 > 0:05:36you can buy those picnic sets very, very cheaply indeed

0:05:36 > 0:05:38and even ones that have never been used

0:05:38 > 0:05:41and in excellent condition, so... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah...

0:05:41 > 0:05:43not that sought-after. No.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Find something that is, then, Reds.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Blues, does this count as practical?

0:05:48 > 0:05:51That's handy and practical. Are you seriously considering buying

0:05:51 > 0:05:54a deck chair on Bargain Hunt? No, I'm saying to you it's not worth it.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Not quite. It's not very good condition, is it? A deck chair!

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Gosh, I didn't think we would go downhill this fast.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Keep looking, then, Blues. Reds, what have you found?

0:06:01 > 0:06:03It's quite an ice cream bucket.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05If you look at the oak in the grain,

0:06:05 > 0:06:07that's not a 19th-century one, in my view.

0:06:07 > 0:06:08OK. OK.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Not old enough for the Reds this time.

0:06:11 > 0:06:16Now, Blues, this doesn't look small, but it's certainly practical.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Wow, that's a big box. It is a big box. But it is...

0:06:18 > 0:06:19What sort of box is it?

0:06:19 > 0:06:21It's probably... Yeah, for logs maybe.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23It could be for logs. Have lot of logs there.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25It could make a good toy box, I suppose.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27It would be a good toy box. Oh, it's got little drawers.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30It could be a tradesman's tool box. Right.

0:06:30 > 0:06:31It's an antique one. Oh, is it?

0:06:31 > 0:06:34Yeah, it's going to be 100 years old or more. You think?

0:06:34 > 0:06:35It's got a nice warm colour about it.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37With a bit of polish on that, it'd really come out.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39I wonder what price it is.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41SELLER: 150. 100... Oh, gosh.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44That is rather too much for our... Too much for you? I think so.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Yeah, yeah. OK, fine.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Thank you very much, sir. Thank you.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Practical, but not cheap enough.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56Now, this looks right up our dog-loving Reds' street.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00It's a typical 1930s inkwell set.

0:07:00 > 0:07:01That opens up there.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04And that's an inkwell. And your pen would have gone there.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07It's a nice piece. It's got use. Yeah, it's got a use.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10I mean, I know how you are passionate about dogs.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11I just like the design of it.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13The fact that it's got a dog on it is an extra for me.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16I think that's quite pretty, the little inkwell there.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Well, let's ask the dealer, then.

0:07:18 > 0:07:19DEALER: 55.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22How much did you say? 55. ?55.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24If that was going into an auction, right,

0:07:24 > 0:07:28I would be estimating that somewhere between ?30 and ?50. So...

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Over to you, then. Would you take 30 for it?

0:07:32 > 0:07:35DEALER: 45.

0:07:35 > 0:07:3635?

0:07:36 > 0:07:3840 is the drop-dead.

0:07:38 > 0:07:39Will you take 37 for it?

0:07:39 > 0:07:4137 would be fine. Thank you very much.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43OK with you?' Yeah, great.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45RAJ: Yeah? Shake the man's hand. Thank you.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46Thank you very much, sir. Thank you.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50Great result. The dog definitely clinched it.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52It's all going so well.

0:07:52 > 0:07:53Time to step in.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57You bought one item... We have. ..in under 15 minutes. Yeah.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59That's what I like. And it's got a dog on it.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01LAUGHTER

0:08:01 > 0:08:03I might have guessed about that.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05I think everything is going to have a dog on it.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09I think you might be right. Anyway, carry on shopping, girls.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10Let's keep going.

0:08:12 > 0:08:13Off you go, Reds.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18Mark, is anything grabbing your fancy?

0:08:18 > 0:08:20I like that Edwardian glove box, actually.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23It's very thin. It's an unusual shape, isn't it?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25It's almost like an envelope, isn't it?

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Mm-hm. This is made of brass, isn't it?

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Yes, it's made of brass. I mean, they've put matches in there.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33But originally, if you think of an Edwardian lady,

0:08:33 > 0:08:37when she went out to the ballet or went out to a party in the evening,

0:08:37 > 0:08:40they had those wonderful long dresses. Yes. Yes.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44And they all wore white kid gloves or black kid gloves.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Yes, so they need protecting.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50So, where would you store them at home? It's quite unusual, actually.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52I like the little sort of cabochon stone like that.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Indeed. It's a...box. It is. And it is...

0:08:55 > 0:09:00I'm thinking of a word beginning with P and ending with L.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02It's...practical.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Ah! Yeah. Of course. It's handy. Should we ask the dealer?

0:09:05 > 0:09:07I think we should. I think it's a good idea, yes.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09What's the very best you can do on this?

0:09:09 > 0:09:12Let me have a look.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14It's got 35. I could do it for 30.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17And that includes the matches, which don't belong in there, but...

0:09:17 > 0:09:18LAUGHTER No, quite.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21We are rather hoping you might take 18.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23I think that's a little too much.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26To help you, I will come down to 25.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Could I be really cheeky and say could we squeeze to 24?

0:09:29 > 0:09:32Simply because at the auction, you go in five and nowts,

0:09:32 > 0:09:35so if it sold for 25, we would at least make a pound.

0:09:35 > 0:09:40Oh, I think you could squeeze me for a pound, yes. I will take it for 24.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Thank you. That's our first item.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Well, Pauline seems to know her stuff.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47I think I should pop in and ask an important question.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Well done. 10 or 15 minutes, you got your first item. Thank you.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54Thank you very much. You just bought your first item. Yes, we have.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57Is this golden box going to help you to get your golden gavel?

0:09:57 > 0:10:00I think so. Oh, more winnings. I like it.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Yeah. Enjoy the rest of your shopping.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05Thanks, Anita. Bye. We will. Thank you very much. Bye.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Well, fingers crossed for a golden gavel.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Reds, what have you sniffed out?

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Did you like that scent bottle? I like it cos it's double-ended,

0:10:16 > 0:10:18so you could have two different scents in it. Cos I quite like that.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21I thought that was quite pretty. It's a Victorian one.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24Have a look at the hallmark if you want and we can speak to the dealer.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Does the clouding on the glass make any difference?

0:10:29 > 0:10:31You can get that out. Right.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34You know, I think it's with...you have to leave it soaked in vinegar

0:10:34 > 0:10:36or something like that for a very long time... Right.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38..and it will clear.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Jo and Dawn seem interested but are they interested

0:10:40 > 0:10:42in the ?95 ticket price?

0:10:42 > 0:10:46I would estimate it around 40 to 60 if that was going into a sale,

0:10:46 > 0:10:47so let's see what he can do.

0:10:47 > 0:10:4960 on that would be the best.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51What about 40?

0:10:51 > 0:10:53No. Honestly, I couldn't do that.

0:10:53 > 0:10:5655 would be the absolute bottom and that's it.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57OK.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01I'm sorry. I've tried my best. No, that's absolutely fair enough.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Thank you, appreciate it. We will keep looking. You may see us again.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Yeah. You may well see us again. OK.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08You know where it is. Thank you very much. Thank you. No worries.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10ANITA: The price has put the Reds off the scent for now.

0:11:12 > 0:11:17Blues, have you managed to find something useful and practical?

0:11:17 > 0:11:20This is rather unusual, isn't it? Swedish glass.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Decorated with painted Vikings, maker's Bergdala and then initials,

0:11:23 > 0:11:27signed initials. Is it heavy? It is. It is heavy.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Yes, it's very thick. Actually, it is.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Well, that is a sign of Scandinavian glass.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34It's got a certain quirkiness about it, hasn't it?

0:11:34 > 0:11:36It has got quirkiness.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39We weren't really going for quirky but it draws your eye to it.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41Having seen it... Is there any damage? Not as far as I can see.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44I mean, as an interesting thing and with the internet interest,

0:11:44 > 0:11:47it must be worth ?30 or ?40. What's it priced up as?

0:11:47 > 0:11:50It's priced up at 46. 46? But is it

0:11:50 > 0:11:53something you'd be interested in? I think so, yes. I think we could

0:11:53 > 0:11:55perhaps have a look and see what the dealer says. Shall I go

0:11:55 > 0:11:58and ask them? Please, yes. You can carry on looking. We'll carry on

0:11:58 > 0:12:00looking. I'll come back to you. OK.

0:12:00 > 0:12:01Go and find out the best price, Mark.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04If we can get it for about 30? That would be good.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06If we can get it for 28, even better.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Well, I hope Mark has some good news. Hello, guys. Hi, Mark.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Now, I've had a word with the dealer and the best he can do is ?30

0:12:12 > 0:12:15and that's ?16 off. I think it's striking... It is different.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18..and it fits our remit about being handy these days,

0:12:18 > 0:12:21about being useful...and it's different. Indeed, yes.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23If we liked it, other people will like it.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26I really like it. I think we ought to go for it, yes. Two items... Yes.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28..in less than 20 minutes? Sounds good to me. You're on a roll.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30You certainly are, Blues.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36And no surprises about what the Reds have found.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Well, you both spotted these - Art Deco bookends.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43And for a dog lover, I think that these would be lovely.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46It's the dogs that I like. I know, I know. I can tell.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48And Art Deco is in. Let's have a look at the price.

0:12:48 > 0:12:5055 on it, I think. 55.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Shall we...? What do you estimate?

0:12:53 > 0:12:57At auction, those I would be estimating, without any doubt,

0:12:57 > 0:12:58?30 to ?50.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01If we can get them between 20 and 30, OK,

0:13:01 > 0:13:04I would say I would definitely be going for that.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06But let's see what the dealer says, shall we? Yeah. Shall we ask him?

0:13:06 > 0:13:08You want my best price?

0:13:08 > 0:13:09Yeah. 40, and that's it.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11Is there any way you can make it 39?

0:13:11 > 0:13:14I understand what you're saying but unfortunately I can't.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17It would have to be... If you want them, it would have to be 40.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20I'd be happy to pay 40 for them cos I think they're really nice.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23I think they're a bit different. I would shake the man's hand

0:13:23 > 0:13:26because you really like them. Yeah. ?40. Thank you very much.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29ANITA: The Reds are in heaven. They wanted Art Deco. Tick.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Mad about dogs. Tick.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Two items bought. Tick.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35Well, it's all going swimmingly,

0:13:35 > 0:13:38so let's focus on something every bargain hunter

0:13:38 > 0:13:39should have in their pocket.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50For buyers of antiques and collectables,

0:13:50 > 0:13:53a magnifying glass is a useful tool.

0:13:53 > 0:13:59It enables us to spot defects, identifying maker's marks

0:13:59 > 0:14:04and also to appreciate in more detail the fine craftsmanship

0:14:04 > 0:14:06of the object.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10I usually carry a couple about my pocket for handiness

0:14:10 > 0:14:13and they're generally simple little things.

0:14:13 > 0:14:18But I have found a splendid object,

0:14:18 > 0:14:23which does the same job but with a lot more style.

0:14:23 > 0:14:28This silver container is in the form of a clamshell

0:14:28 > 0:14:32with a finely detailed ribbed body.

0:14:32 > 0:14:39When we open the shell, a magnifying glass emerges ready for use.

0:14:39 > 0:14:44At the bottom, I have identified the manufacturer's name -

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Tiffany Company.

0:14:47 > 0:14:53Established in 1837, Tiffany was one of the most prestigious

0:14:53 > 0:14:58manufacturers and retailers of high quality and luxury goods,

0:14:58 > 0:15:01especially silver and jewellery.

0:15:01 > 0:15:05Its flagship store, known as the Palace of Jewels,

0:15:05 > 0:15:09was situated in Fifth Avenue, New York.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11And throughout its history,

0:15:11 > 0:15:15prominent members of American society were its customers.

0:15:15 > 0:15:21To buy something at Tiffany's showed that you had style,

0:15:21 > 0:15:27taste and money and that you were a person of some substance.

0:15:27 > 0:15:32I paid ?320 for this magnifying glass -

0:15:32 > 0:15:35a lot more than I paid for these ones -

0:15:35 > 0:15:41and if I sell this clamshell across the Atlantic to America,

0:15:41 > 0:15:44it could easily double its money.

0:15:44 > 0:15:49And who knows who might have looked through this one in the past?

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Back to the shopping here at Southwell Racecourse.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Our teams are racing around the fair and have two items each

0:16:03 > 0:16:06with just 30 minutes on the clock.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Raj, you must be rather pleased.

0:16:08 > 0:16:09They're doing fantastic.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11These girls know exactly what they want,

0:16:11 > 0:16:13they're passionate about dogs.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15We've bought two items in only half an hour.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18I'm pretty certain that the third item that we buy

0:16:18 > 0:16:21is also going to be dog themed but we'll have to wait and see.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23That's fabulous, Raj.

0:16:23 > 0:16:28So, we've got half an hour to go... Yeah. ..one item to buy. Let's go!

0:16:28 > 0:16:31OK. And what about our Blue team, Mark?

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Well, they're quite a pair, aren't they?

0:16:33 > 0:16:36I think they're going tactically for lower-priced items

0:16:36 > 0:16:38hoping to make a small profit.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40But actually, even though they've spent little,

0:16:40 > 0:16:43they've got two very interesting items. I'm thrilled.

0:16:43 > 0:16:44Great stuff.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Reds, is this barking up the right tree?

0:16:52 > 0:16:55What about that? No! No? That doesn't do it? No!

0:16:55 > 0:16:57If you think I'm taking that out on a lead...

0:16:57 > 0:16:59No? It doesn't do it for you? BOTH: No.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02It definitely doesn't do it for you? No. Definitely not. What a shame.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04What a shame. Ohh, poor wee doggie.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06DOG BARKS Pauline, have you got your eye

0:17:06 > 0:17:08on something? What's that?

0:17:08 > 0:17:11I don't think it's a tea set. I think it might be a box.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14What does that say on the top? Dainty Dinah.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16Dainty Dinah? Dainty Dinah. Never heard of it.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Biscuit tin? It could be.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21It's not particularly good quality, I don't think.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23No, it's not really. A bit lived in.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26Yeah, I think it's been enjoyed. Yeah. Interesting but not for us.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28It was worth a look. Absolutely. I like it but not

0:17:28 > 0:17:31what we're ready for. We've got a lot of money left, don't forget.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33And plenty of time on the clock.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38Reds, time to fasten down your final item.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40I like this one cos it's got more detail.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43But Dawn will like this one cos it's the plainer one.

0:17:43 > 0:17:47Although it's plainer, I just think it's quality and the name of course

0:17:47 > 0:17:49makes a big difference. I recognise the name.

0:17:49 > 0:17:53Mappin Webb. It's quite a plain one but it is a good, good maker.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Yeah. I have to say, I like them as well.

0:17:55 > 0:17:56It's all going to come down to price.

0:17:56 > 0:18:01That one's got 68 on it, you know, and that one's got 45 on it.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03If I was putting them in as one lot,

0:18:03 > 0:18:08I would be estimating those somewhere between 55 to 75.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10Shall we see? Yeah, let's have a look

0:18:10 > 0:18:13and see what we can do on the price. Yeah.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15The Mappin Webb would be 38.

0:18:15 > 0:18:1738? Yeah, that's fine.

0:18:17 > 0:18:18French could be 50.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Would you take 60 for the pair?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22I can't, unfortunately, no.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24They owe me more than that.

0:18:24 > 0:18:2875 for the two would be absolute best.

0:18:28 > 0:18:29Could you do 70?

0:18:29 > 0:18:31I could do 70 for the two. You will? Yeah.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35I'll take those and you shake the lady's hand. OK.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38ANITA: Job done, Reds, all in 35 minutes.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40The Blue team are just behind you.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Is it time for them to buy something silver and decorative?

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Walker Hall are a very famous factory.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49They produce an awful lot of silver and plate.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51This is obviously Art Deco.

0:18:51 > 0:18:52Oh, and it's presented for a

0:18:52 > 0:18:57"management director Field Aircraft Services 1958".

0:18:57 > 0:19:01So, it's Art Deco style but it was produced a little bit later.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Would that be a drawback to have someone's name?

0:19:03 > 0:19:06I don't think so, no, not in this case cos it's not outside. No.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's not on outside, no. But it's a very stylish shape, isn't it?

0:19:08 > 0:19:11You could put jewellery in quite easily, couldn't you? Or cufflinks.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14A gentlemen could use it to keep cufflinks and tiepins

0:19:14 > 0:19:17and things in. Yeah. It's ?164.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Well, that's a fair retail price.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21There are lots of cigarette boxes around.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23This is a particularly stylish one

0:19:23 > 0:19:25and if you take in an auctioneer's estimate,

0:19:25 > 0:19:28I would have thought they might put it in as 80 to 120.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32It's too much. Why don't you see what the dealer can do it for?

0:19:32 > 0:19:35You never know. Yeah, let's do that now.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Hello, I'd just be interested to know what your best price is

0:19:37 > 0:19:40on this box. The best I've been offering it to people today at

0:19:40 > 0:19:42is 90. OK.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48Would you take 75? No. I'll do 80.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Mark. Yes, tell me? The gentleman's offering 80.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54Good Lord. That's quite a discount, isn't it? It is quite a discount.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57What do you feel about it? Could we squeak you for just ?1 off

0:19:57 > 0:19:59and say 79? Because if it sells for 80,

0:19:59 > 0:20:01we'll have at least made a pound profit. OK.

0:20:01 > 0:20:06Well, in this instance, if it's any help, I will do ?1 less. ?79.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09That is really very kind of you. Thank you much.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12That's it for the Blues and in 40 minutes.

0:20:12 > 0:20:16So, teams, what are you going to do with the remaining 20 minutes?

0:20:16 > 0:20:19Ah, I might have guessed.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Lovely. Thanks very much indeed. Thank you.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26And it looks like the Blues are having a debrief.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28How do you feel about the items you've bought?

0:20:28 > 0:20:33We wanted handy things, useful things and I think we've got those.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35We were in the market for a box and we got actually two.

0:20:35 > 0:20:39A box and a... Case. ..a glove case, yeah. A glove box.

0:20:39 > 0:20:40And I love the vase.

0:20:40 > 0:20:44It's been a great day, great fun. Yeah, really enjoyed it.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47That time goes really fast but hopefully we got enough

0:20:47 > 0:20:49to get a golden gavel.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52Here's to a golden gavel. Cheers! REDS: Cheers!

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Well, looks like both our teams have finished early

0:20:55 > 0:20:58but let's look at what the Reds have bought.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01First up, Dawn and Jo bought this inkwell,

0:21:01 > 0:21:04complete with German shepherd

0:21:04 > 0:21:06keeping guard, for ?37.

0:21:06 > 0:21:07More dogs on these Art Deco

0:21:07 > 0:21:09bookends, bought for ?40.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12And finally, no dogs this time,

0:21:12 > 0:21:16but two silver buckles. ?70 paid.

0:21:17 > 0:21:22Well, girls, predictably, dogs played quite a big part

0:21:22 > 0:21:25in your purchases. They did. What do you like best?

0:21:25 > 0:21:28I like the bookends best. And are they going to make the best profit?

0:21:28 > 0:21:31No. No? What about you? Do you agree?

0:21:31 > 0:21:34No. I really like the buckles, the silver belt buckles.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37I really, really like them, especially the one that was plainer

0:21:37 > 0:21:40and I think they're going to make the most money.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43So you did stray away from the dog theme, really? Yeah.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47Well, you spent 147.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50Can I have 153, please?

0:21:50 > 0:21:53There you go. That's lovely. Raj, 153. Lovely.

0:21:53 > 0:21:58That'll be a nice amount to go and find something...not doggy-related.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02And let's find out what the Blues bought.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06First up, Mike and Pauline are hoping they've struck gold

0:22:06 > 0:22:09with this glove box. ?24 paid.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13Next up, they were bowled over by this Scandinavian bowl

0:22:13 > 0:22:15and paid ?30 for it.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18And finally, will they have a smoking profit with this

0:22:18 > 0:22:22silver cigarette case, bought for ?79?

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Well, did you have a super time shopping?

0:22:24 > 0:22:27We had a brilliant time. We had a great time. It was great fun.

0:22:27 > 0:22:35Now, I know that you had a plan and that plan was to get a golden gavel.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38Will the items that you've bought get you that golden gavel?

0:22:38 > 0:22:40I think we're there or thereabouts.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43Oh, confidence, Mark, confidence! Yes.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46With a fair wind. Tell me what your favourite item was.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Scandinavian glass.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51But is that the item that's going to get you best profit?

0:22:51 > 0:22:55I think so. I think that's going to do really well. I think so too, yes.

0:22:55 > 0:22:59You spent ?133, so could I have 167?

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Oh, I think Mike's got that. There we go.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05Oh, that's a goodly amount of money, Mark.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08Are you going to buy practical or beautiful?

0:23:08 > 0:23:12Anita, DIY isn't in my vocabulary. I don't do practical.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15I've got something beautiful and Deco in mind.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18Well, have fun spending that money, Mark.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22But now, it's time to head over to the auction and join Colin Young.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Hello, Colin. It's lovely to be back at Golding Young auctioneers.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Delighted to have you back. Lovely.

0:23:39 > 0:23:44Now, for the Reds, their first item is the desk set

0:23:44 > 0:23:48with the German shepherd Art Deco on marble base.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51I think it's a nice item, very traditional.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53It certainly has that French look about it.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Not of the greatest quality but it's got the look,

0:23:55 > 0:23:58so ?30 to ?50 I've placed on it

0:23:58 > 0:24:01and I'd be fairly confident at that sort of level.

0:24:01 > 0:24:06They paid ?37, so there's definitely a chance of a profit on that. Yeah.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10Their second item is a pair of onyx bookends

0:24:10 > 0:24:13with a pair of Scottie dogs on each side.

0:24:13 > 0:24:14Tell me what you think of those.

0:24:14 > 0:24:18I think they're maybe '20s, certainly 1930s.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21Almost a Deco look but a very late Deco look

0:24:21 > 0:24:24and there's going to be plenty of people that look at that and think,

0:24:24 > 0:24:28"Isn't it cute!" Scottie dogs are cute. How much is your estimate?

0:24:28 > 0:24:31Well, hopefully I've been cute enough with ?25 to ?40.

0:24:31 > 0:24:37They paid ?40 for that, so will you struggle to get to 40?

0:24:37 > 0:24:39I don't think we'll struggle, actually,

0:24:39 > 0:24:42because they have that chocolate boxy look

0:24:42 > 0:24:44and there'll be plenty of people, I think, for them.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47I think you might be right. So, into the third item,

0:24:47 > 0:24:48we're away from the dog theme.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52We've got two silver buckles. Do you like those?

0:24:52 > 0:24:57I do. One surprised me. The plainest one of them is Mappin Webb.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00If you look at the hallmarks, it looks like it was made yesterday.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04It's immaculate, it's absolutely crisp in every way, shape and form

0:25:04 > 0:25:08and I had to look at the hallmark a number of times and it is period.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11That was a little bit of a surprise but a nice surprise, really,

0:25:11 > 0:25:12because of the condition.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15And then the 19th-century French example.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20Again, condition is very good for it, so it's a nice combination,

0:25:20 > 0:25:24very, very different buckles but go together very well in a lot.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26What's your estimate, Colin?

0:25:26 > 0:25:29Well, they've got to be worth ?50 to ?80, I would have thought.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Well, they've paid ?70 on it... OK.

0:25:31 > 0:25:35..so they're sort of halfway there, really. Yeah.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38They may or may not need their bonus buy

0:25:38 > 0:25:40but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Dawn, Jo. Well, well, well.

0:25:45 > 0:25:53You spent a perfectly respectable ?147 and you left Raj with 153.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Raj, what did you buy?

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Well, I know you like dogs, OK?

0:25:58 > 0:26:00So, I got you...

0:26:00 > 0:26:02some birds.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06You look absolutely terrified.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08I am. I'm terrified of birds.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Oh, dear. It's going well(!) It's going well, isn't it(?)

0:26:10 > 0:26:12I like birds. I'm OK with birds.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15But there's a profit in these. These are beautiful.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17Look at that. So, how much did you pay for them?

0:26:17 > 0:26:20I only paid ?40.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23How much do you think we'll make on it?

0:26:23 > 0:26:24How much do you think it'll sell for?

0:26:24 > 0:26:27I think that's got to make ?80. Really?

0:26:27 > 0:26:29That should double its money. It should. OK.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31Although you don't like birds,

0:26:31 > 0:26:34there are plenty of people out there who will. Yeah, I'm sure there are.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36And it's a lovely Art Deco item. It is, yeah.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38I think it's beautiful.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40You don't need to make up your mind just now

0:26:40 > 0:26:44but we'll find out if Colin, our auctioneer,

0:26:44 > 0:26:48is just as scared of these birds as she is.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54Flown in, as if by magic, Colin,

0:26:54 > 0:26:58this bird group, made in brass on an alabaster base.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Do you like that? Typical Art Deco.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04Very much in keeping, really, with the items that they've already got.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Fairly modern, though, and so estimate-wise,

0:27:06 > 0:27:11I'm going to put on it a lowly 50 to 80. How does that sound?

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Raj only paid ?40 for this. OK.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15And I think that that was a very good buy

0:27:15 > 0:27:18and if you can get between ?50 and ?80, Colin,

0:27:18 > 0:27:21I think they will be very pleased.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25Well, that's the Red team and now onto the Blue team.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28The first thing that they bought was this delightful,

0:27:28 > 0:27:32and really quite elegant, brass glove box.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34Tell me what you think of that, Colin.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37The one thing I noticed on it is that little clasp

0:27:37 > 0:27:39and it sort of adds a feminine look to it, really,

0:27:39 > 0:27:43for something that...normally, brass of that sort of period,

0:27:43 > 0:27:45you tend to think as a little bit more masculine

0:27:45 > 0:27:48in terms of trench art and the like

0:27:48 > 0:27:51but it's got a nice little feel about that.

0:27:51 > 0:27:52It has. I think it's a very attractive thing

0:27:52 > 0:27:56and I think that it is elegant. Beautiful simplicity.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59It is. And simplicity is where I've gone with my estimate.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01?25 to ?40.

0:28:01 > 0:28:07Well, they paid 24, so 25 to 40, we're happy with that? Yeah.

0:28:07 > 0:28:08I've just got to prove it now.

0:28:08 > 0:28:13On to item number two, this Swedish bowl here. What do you think, Colin?

0:28:13 > 0:28:17I think it's a really nice thing of which I like the shape,

0:28:17 > 0:28:23I like the quality, the finish of it is very much in vogue at present.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25My only detractor is actually the decoration.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27But that's personal choice

0:28:27 > 0:28:31and something like that brings my estimate down to ?15 to ?30.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Well, they paid ?30 for it. OK. So, it might struggle.

0:28:34 > 0:28:39Third item, they took a risk on this box.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42I would say that's not really a risk.

0:28:42 > 0:28:47That is a very traditional Art Deco-looking cigarette box.

0:28:47 > 0:28:49Lovely bracket feet to it,

0:28:49 > 0:28:51engine turning throughout is in great order.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54I see no risk in something like that. And your estimate?

0:28:54 > 0:28:56?50 to ?80. ?50 to ?80?

0:28:56 > 0:29:00Well, they paid 79, so that might be the risk factor there.

0:29:00 > 0:29:01Ah, right.

0:29:01 > 0:29:05Well, it looks as if they might be needing Mark's bonus buy,

0:29:05 > 0:29:07so we're going to go and have a look at it.

0:29:08 > 0:29:13Well, can you two contain your excitement? Trying to! We try.

0:29:13 > 0:29:17You wanted to buy practical items.

0:29:17 > 0:29:21You gave Mark ?167.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24Mark, did you buy something practical and useful?

0:29:24 > 0:29:28Of course I didn't, Anita! Am I practical and useful? No!

0:29:28 > 0:29:31I like beauty and this is a beautiful object.

0:29:31 > 0:29:36It's Art Deco, moulded glass by a known designer, Hunebelle,

0:29:36 > 0:29:41and it's sepia-stained as well and I think it's really, really stylish.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45Hm. It's interesting. It's not just a...

0:29:45 > 0:29:47That covers everything. Is that the best you can say?

0:29:47 > 0:29:50I think it's gone down well, hasn't it? Is not just dirty, then?

0:29:50 > 0:29:54It could look lovely in a display cabinet with a light on it.

0:29:54 > 0:29:55With no lights on?!

0:29:57 > 0:30:02Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I wanted to go for something

0:30:02 > 0:30:06that was quality and epitomised the Art Deco period. OK.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09So, it really depends on the price, how much you paid for it.

0:30:09 > 0:30:10Well, if I remember rightly,

0:30:10 > 0:30:14everything on the shopping was about the cost,

0:30:14 > 0:30:16so I decided to spend it for you.

0:30:16 > 0:30:19Ooh! I spent ?120 on that vase. Oo-er.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21Oo-er, missus. But how much do you think it might sell for?

0:30:21 > 0:30:24It's a tricky one, actually. If it's spotted online,

0:30:24 > 0:30:27then it would have an estimate, I hope, of 80 to 120,

0:30:27 > 0:30:31so it might well just touch the 120, 130, but who knows?

0:30:31 > 0:30:34Mm. It all depends on that. Right, OK. Depends how desperate we are.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36SHE LAUGHS Lovely, yes.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38They're not sure about it, Mark. No.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40The thing is, I think it's growing on me.

0:30:40 > 0:30:43You don't need to make up your mind at the moment, folks,

0:30:43 > 0:30:45but let's go and see what the auctioneer thinks

0:30:45 > 0:30:48about Mark's lovely little vase.

0:30:50 > 0:30:53So, what about Mark's bonus buy here?

0:30:53 > 0:30:55Do you like that, Colin? I do.

0:30:55 > 0:31:00It's got a great look about it and what I particularly like is

0:31:00 > 0:31:03that sort of almost iridescence that's in there.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06You know, you've got the frosted colour to it,

0:31:06 > 0:31:08but when you just get it in the right light,

0:31:08 > 0:31:10it just has that tinge of iridescence,

0:31:10 > 0:31:11which takes it over and above

0:31:11 > 0:31:15the fairly standard sort of Sabino-type things that we see.

0:31:15 > 0:31:19So, for me, I think it's got a lot in its favour.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22Good shape, good colour, nice refraction through it.

0:31:22 > 0:31:26Estimate-wise? Well, I don't think it's big money, to be honest.

0:31:26 > 0:31:31Really? No. I think, you know, ?25 to ?40

0:31:31 > 0:31:33as an estimate. SHE GASPS

0:31:33 > 0:31:36Might be 50, 60 at a push, but that's really where I see it.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38Mark paid ?120.

0:31:38 > 0:31:43Now, Mark loves glass. Yeah. He loves Lalique,

0:31:43 > 0:31:49and Andre Hunebelle was working at the same time as Lalique... Yeah.

0:31:49 > 0:31:53..and I think Mark has been influenced by that.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55At the end of the day, I mean, Mark has a good eye

0:31:55 > 0:31:57for this type of thing

0:31:57 > 0:32:00and if anybody could buy something like this well,

0:32:00 > 0:32:02I think he's your man.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04Are you our auctioneer today, Colin? I am indeed.

0:32:04 > 0:32:09Well, if anyone can get a great price on that, you can.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12At 25 right at the back of the room. At 25 bid. 28, surely.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15At ?25, are we all done? 8 for anyone else there? 25.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18Got a bid right at the back of the room. Selling at 25.

0:32:18 > 0:32:21Well, girls, here we are, here we are.

0:32:21 > 0:32:24Have you been to an auction before? Yes. You have?

0:32:24 > 0:32:27Are you an old auction hand? Yes. Yeah. Mm-hm.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29Are you still a wee bit excited, though?

0:32:29 > 0:32:31A bit worried about the first item.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34You paid ?37 for it, you both loved it,

0:32:34 > 0:32:36but now you're a wee bit worried about it? BOTH: Yeah.

0:32:36 > 0:32:41OK, well, we'll see how it gets on because it's coming up right now.

0:32:41 > 0:32:45French Art Deco cast metal and marble desk stand. There we go.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47It's a nice one with a German shepherd on there.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50Who's going to start me at ?80 for it? ?80 for this? 80?

0:32:50 > 0:32:5250 to go, then, surely.

0:32:52 > 0:32:5450, anybody? At ?50. 50? Look at what we're selling.

0:33:20 > 0:33:24You're all out seated. You're all out on that, and I will sell at ?40.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27GAVEL BANGS Yes! That'll do.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29Girls, plus three - that's a good start. Yeah.

0:33:29 > 0:33:31Plus three. Yeah.

0:33:31 > 0:33:35Your next item, again with a dog theme on it...

0:33:35 > 0:33:38A pair of 1930s cast metal and green onyx book ends.

0:33:38 > 0:33:41There we go. With the terriers, or Scotties.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44Scotties, yes! 'There we go. So, you've got two Scotties.'

0:33:44 > 0:33:47Who's going to start me at ?50? 50? ?50? 50?

0:34:02 > 0:34:04At 32 bid. 5? No. At 32. Back in the room, then.

0:34:04 > 0:34:07Any more bids, then, for these book ends? At 32.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10Last call and selling at ?32. GAVEL BANGS

0:34:10 > 0:34:13?32, girls. Disappointing.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15Aw, hard luck on that.

0:34:15 > 0:34:1932. That's minus eight, and that's taking you,

0:34:19 > 0:34:22before your third item, to minus five.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25But that's not a big minus. No. No, no, no, no. No.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28You can make that easily. Yeah. Absolutely.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30And your next item - the belt buckles,

0:34:30 > 0:34:32and you both loved them.

0:34:32 > 0:34:36The Edwardian silver belt buckle by Mappin Webb. London, 1910.

0:34:36 > 0:34:40And you also have the 19th-century French white metal one

0:34:40 > 0:34:42in that wonderful Rococo design.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44Who's going to start me at ?80 for it? 80?

0:34:44 > 0:34:46?80, anybody? 80? That'll be a good start, 80.

0:34:46 > 0:34:5050 to go, then. ?50, anyone? 50? 50 is first. At 50.

0:34:50 > 0:34:5240 to go, then. 40? ?40? 40?

0:34:52 > 0:34:54You've obviously got tight belts already.

0:34:54 > 0:34:5730 to go, then. Come on, come on!

0:34:57 > 0:35:00?20. 20 bid. 25. Bid 30? 30 bid.

0:35:00 > 0:35:0235. Bid 40? 40 bid now.

0:35:02 > 0:35:0640 bid. 45? 45. Bid 50? 50 bid, no?

0:35:06 > 0:35:0845 bid. 50 anywhere else, then?

0:35:08 > 0:35:10At ?45, are we all done? Come on. Such a bargain.

0:35:10 > 0:35:12At 45. I'll take 48 from anybody else.

0:35:12 > 0:35:13At 45, I'm bid. 8?

0:35:13 > 0:35:15A last call, then, at ?45,

0:35:15 > 0:35:18and I will sell at 45.

0:35:18 > 0:35:22Ooh! 45. Hard luck, girls. Hard luck.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25So, that is minus ?25. Yeah. Yeah.

0:35:25 > 0:35:30And that takes your overall minus to ?30. Minus 30.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32But that's not a huge amount, girls.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34No. No, no, no, no. That's not a huge amount.

0:35:34 > 0:35:38Are you going to take the bonus buy? These could fly away, ladies.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40SHE GROANS As long as they fly

0:35:40 > 0:35:41that way, I don't mind.

0:35:41 > 0:35:44Are you going to take it? BOTH: Yes.

0:35:44 > 0:35:46Are you absolutely sure? Positive. Yeah, absolutely.

0:35:46 > 0:35:50Raj paid 40 and I can tell you that the auctioneer

0:35:50 > 0:35:56has estimated it at ?50 to ?80, so there is a chance of a profit.

0:35:56 > 0:35:58Yeah, there's a chance. There's a chance here.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01So, we're going to see how it does, and it's coming up now.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03The Art Deco-style sculpture.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05It's the two birds in flight. There we go.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07What an absolutely lovely pairing of birds.

0:36:07 > 0:36:11Who's going to start me at ?80? At 80? ?80, anybody? 80?

0:36:11 > 0:36:1450 to go, then, surely. 50?

0:36:14 > 0:36:1830 if you like, then. ?30, anybody? Quickly, now. 30? ?30?

0:36:20 > 0:36:2420? ?20 for them. 20?

0:36:26 > 0:36:29I thought you'd be queueing up for these. ?20, anybody?

0:36:29 > 0:36:32Come on! 20 over there. 2 in the room. 5 now.

0:36:32 > 0:36:355. 28. 32. 5.

0:36:35 > 0:36:3738. Bid 40? 40 bid now. 40 bid.

0:36:37 > 0:36:4142? 42. 45? At 42. 5, surely.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43At 42. Are we all done, then? 5 for anybody else?

0:36:43 > 0:36:47Going this time, then, at ?42. GAVEL BANGS

0:36:47 > 0:36:4842. It's a profit.

0:36:48 > 0:36:52It was a profit. It was, yeah. A profit of ?2,

0:36:52 > 0:36:56which brings your overall total score to minus 28.

0:36:56 > 0:37:00Don't be disheartened, girls. It could be a winning score.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03You never know. No. You never know. You don't, no.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05But keep schtum when we go out. Yeah, yeah.

0:37:11 > 0:37:15How do you feel? Excited. Yes, excited, but slightly nervous.

0:37:15 > 0:37:17Is there any item you're particularly worried about?

0:37:17 > 0:37:20I think we paid a bit more than we should have for the silver box.

0:37:20 > 0:37:22For the silver box, perhaps, yeah.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24Unless somebody likes the inscription on the inside

0:37:24 > 0:37:26or knows something about that.

0:37:26 > 0:37:29Your first item was that very elegant brass glove box

0:37:29 > 0:37:31and it's coming up right now.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33The brass glove box there in envelope form,

0:37:33 > 0:37:35containing some long matches,

0:37:35 > 0:37:37but you can always put your gloves back in it.

0:37:37 > 0:37:38Who's going to start me at ?40? 40?

0:37:38 > 0:37:4030 to go, then, surely. ?30, anybody? 30?

0:37:40 > 0:37:42I'll take 20 to go, then. ?20, anybody?

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Oh, come on.

0:37:44 > 0:37:4610 if you like now. 10, anybody? At ?10.

0:37:46 > 0:37:47?10, anybody? At 10. At 10.

0:37:47 > 0:37:4910 bid. 12 now? Look at what we're selling.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02I thought it might make its money. Oh, bad luck.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05I thought it might make its money. Bad luck.

0:38:05 > 0:38:09That leaves you, I'm afraid, with minus nine on your first item,

0:38:09 > 0:38:11but you've still got two to go, so you can make up. Indeed.

0:38:11 > 0:38:14Do not despair. We won't despair, no. We won't.

0:38:14 > 0:38:18Next item. Let's hope that they like Swedish glass.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01Ooh. 22. Another bargain. Oh, hard luck.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04That's minus eight on that, which takes you

0:39:04 > 0:39:06to minus 17, folks.

0:39:06 > 0:39:09It's not a lot of money. It's not a lot of money. No.

0:39:09 > 0:39:12Your big-ticket item might rescue you there.

0:39:12 > 0:39:15Or it might plunge us deeper in. THEY LAUGH

0:39:15 > 0:39:20The Art Deco silver cigarette box. Walker Hall, of course.

0:39:20 > 0:39:21And I have multiple bids on the book.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23Who's going to start me at ?80? 80?

0:39:23 > 0:39:26?80, anybody? 80? ?80 bid.

0:39:34 > 0:39:36At ?80. Come on. Come on.

0:39:36 > 0:39:37At 80, are we all done?

0:39:37 > 0:39:40Selling to a maiden bid, then, of ?80.

0:39:40 > 0:39:42Somebody. GAVEL BANGS

0:39:42 > 0:39:45Well, it was your big-ticket item

0:39:45 > 0:39:48that made you ?1. THEY LAUGH

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Oh, well. At least we got one profit.

0:39:50 > 0:39:52We got ?1 profit from that.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55Which took you to an absolutely splendid minus 16

0:39:55 > 0:39:57rather than minus 17. Oh, dear!

0:39:57 > 0:40:00Are you going to go with the bonus buy? Yeah, let's go with it.

0:40:00 > 0:40:04Now, are you absolutely sure about that? In for a penny...

0:40:04 > 0:40:07Are you both in agreement? We are both in agreement. Yeah, we are.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09Yes, we don't care any more. It's going to fly.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11Absolutely sure? It's going to be great. Absolutely sure?

0:40:11 > 0:40:14Isn't it, Mark? Yes, absolutely. Correct.

0:40:14 > 0:40:19Mark paid ?120 and the auctioneer has estimated it...

0:40:20 > 0:40:23..25 to 40. Oh, no! Oh, God.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25And it's coming up now.

0:40:25 > 0:40:29The Hunebelle Art Deco vase of stepped teardrop form.

0:40:29 > 0:40:33Beautifully designed. What shall we say for this?

0:40:33 > 0:40:36I suppose, really, it ought to be the best part of ?150,

0:40:36 > 0:40:38but who's going to start me at 100 for it? 100?

0:40:38 > 0:40:40?100, anybody? 100? 80?

0:40:40 > 0:40:43Come on! 50 to go, then, surely.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46?50, anybody? 50? 50, I'm bid. 50. 5 now, do I see?

0:40:46 > 0:40:49At ?50 bid. 5. 60. 5. 70.

0:40:49 > 0:40:52And 5. Bid 80. Keep going. And 5.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55At 85 bid. Are you sure? You want to go again at 90?

0:40:55 > 0:40:57No? At 85 bid. 90 now, do it see it? 85 bid.

0:40:57 > 0:40:59Last call for everybody, then.

0:40:59 > 0:41:02We will sell, then, at ?85. GAVEL BANGS

0:41:02 > 0:41:04THEY GROAN ?85.

0:41:04 > 0:41:08Minus 35 on that, which takes you to a grand total,

0:41:08 > 0:41:14or maybe not-so-grand total... A total. ..of minus ?51. Oh, well.

0:41:14 > 0:41:18We'll take that. Do not despair. No. Do not despair.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21That could be a winning total. Yeah.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23MIKE CHUCKLES Could be.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26But don't tell the Reds. No, we won't. We won't breathe a word.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36Well, teams, did we have a good time today? ALL: Yes!

0:41:36 > 0:41:39It was great, and so, so exciting. Yeah.

0:41:39 > 0:41:42It was just unfortunate that both teams made losses.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45Oh. THEY LAUGH

0:41:45 > 0:41:47Winners and losers, or winners and runners-up,

0:41:47 > 0:41:50it's only a matter of scale.

0:41:50 > 0:41:54And today, our losers are the Blues.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56BOTH: Oh. Sorry, guys.

0:41:56 > 0:42:01Losses on the first two items and a ?1 profit on your last item.

0:42:01 > 0:42:05Yes! You decided to go with Mark's bonus buy,

0:42:05 > 0:42:07so you made another wee loss on that.

0:42:07 > 0:42:09In the end, you had minus 51.

0:42:09 > 0:42:12But if you say it quickly, it's not much. No. No.

0:42:12 > 0:42:16THEY LAUGH And the winners today are the Reds

0:42:16 > 0:42:19with only minus 28. THEY LAUGH

0:42:19 > 0:42:23Girls, did you think that you could be winners with a minus score? No.

0:42:23 > 0:42:27Because I thought you were a wee bit disappointed. Yeah.

0:42:27 > 0:42:30Yeah, we were after the auction. We wanted a golden gavel. Yeah.

0:42:30 > 0:42:32You wanted a golden gavel? THEY LAUGH

0:42:32 > 0:42:34It might have been difficult with your two losses.

0:42:34 > 0:42:36Yeah. THEY LAUGH

0:42:36 > 0:42:40But in the end, it was ?28, though. Well done for the winners.
