0:00:04 > 0:00:07Today, Bargain Hunt comes from Nottinghamshire.

0:00:07 > 0:00:10And now, whilst the scenery is fantastic up here

0:00:10 > 0:00:12at the top of Newark Castle,

0:00:12 > 0:00:13it would've been quite different

0:00:13 > 0:00:16had you been imprisoned in the lower quarters.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20This dark dungeon once housed thieves and murderers,

0:00:20 > 0:00:23but members of the Knights Templar from the infamous Crusades

0:00:23 > 0:00:24were here, too.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26Look, you can still see their etchings

0:00:26 > 0:00:29carved into the castle walls today.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31And what's this? There's another symbol.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40Er, I think I'd better get out of here. Let's go Bargain Hunting.

0:01:06 > 0:01:07Here in Newark,

0:01:07 > 0:01:12we have two teams ready to do battle on Bargain Hunt.

0:01:12 > 0:01:13They each have £300,

0:01:13 > 0:01:16but just one hour to buy three antiques

0:01:16 > 0:01:18that they hope will turn a profit at auction.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21And believe me, that is no mean feat.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Now, let's take a look at what's coming up...

0:01:25 > 0:01:26The Reds get carried away...

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Ooh. What did you say to the chap?

0:01:28 > 0:01:31- I'm afraid I've shaken his hand, as well.- Oh, Joey...

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Have you, Joey? Have you?

0:01:33 > 0:01:37- ..and the Blues are real movers and shakers.- Go on.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Work your magic.- Erm...

0:01:39 > 0:01:41And there's a relief....

0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Oh!- Just.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45..and surprise at the auction.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48- GAVEL BANGS - Oh, wow.- You see?

0:01:48 > 0:01:50But that's all coming up later.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52For now, it's time to meet today's teams,

0:01:52 > 0:01:54and it's a real couples' convention.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56For the Reds today, we have Joe and Barbara,

0:01:56 > 0:01:58and for the Blues, we have Liz and David.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello!

0:02:00 > 0:02:03And we're to start with the Reds, so, Joe and Barbara, I believe you

0:02:03 > 0:02:08met under very romantic, or is that a sarcastic comment, circumstances?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10It was very romantic indeed.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14Yes, it was the basement of the night shelter in Stoke-on-Trent.

0:02:14 > 0:02:19I was going there to attend the meeting and Joe was chairing it,

0:02:19 > 0:02:22- and that was about 30 years ago. - Yes.- 30 years ago?- Yes.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25- But not content with getting married once...- No. - ..you did it twice.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28- We got married twice...- To be quite certain.- Tell me about that.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33Well, there's a bit of a dispute as to which of us proposed

0:02:33 > 0:02:37- to the other. Joe maintains... - It was me.- But actually, it was me.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41I practised on my friend Jane, asking her to marry me.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43- She always said yes. - Of course she did.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45She always did, so I'm sure it was like that.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48But we married first in a registry office

0:02:48 > 0:02:51- and two years later again, in church.- In church, yes.

0:02:51 > 0:02:52Oh, lovely.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Now, Joe, tell me, you collect things at home, don't you?- Yes.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58- You do have a little collection of...- Well, not a little collection.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01A big... Several large collections, filling...

0:03:01 > 0:03:03In our bedroom, especially, we've got a lovely collection of

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Carlton Ware, and royal commemoratives is another passion...

0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Cranberry glassware.- Yes. - All kinds of things, really...

0:03:10 > 0:03:13- It's the Potteries that mean the most to you...- Well, it does...

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Well, absolutely, being honorary Potters...

0:03:15 > 0:03:18I've lived in North Staffs for nearly 45 years,

0:03:18 > 0:03:22Barbara a little bit less. We're just about now accepted as locals.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Now, when it comes to Bargain Hunting...- Mm.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29..how do you think you'll fare as a team? Do you have any tactics?

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Spending big? Spending a little? What's it going to be like?

0:03:32 > 0:03:37I think we will be a very good team and I think it will be my eye

0:03:37 > 0:03:40and Joe's brass neck that will get us through.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43If it's 50, I'll say, "Will you take ten?"

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Well, I can't wait to see you in action.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47It sounds like you're going to have a hoot.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49- We're really looking forward... - We'll do our best, our very best.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51I'm sure you will. Look forward to it.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Thank you...- So, let's turn to our Blues today, Liz and David.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57You've heard the Reds saying they're going to do their best

0:03:57 > 0:04:00and you've heard how they met. How did you meet?

0:04:00 > 0:04:02We met at our local amateur theatre group.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05I'd been a member of the group some years before and I'd left,

0:04:05 > 0:04:08and in the meantime, David had come back.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10They invited me back for an anniversary,

0:04:10 > 0:04:12as part of the audience for an anniversary performance.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16David was in it, and I watched him on stage. That was the first time I saw him.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18And then you went on to join the group.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20I re-joined the group after that and then about three years later

0:04:20 > 0:04:24we got together and, er, the rest is history, really.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25The rest is history, yes.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27- And you're still acting, aren't you? - We are at the moment.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30We're doing a production called The Weir in Aldridge,

0:04:30 > 0:04:32directed by our daughter.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Oh, wow. That's lovely.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Now, tell me about your love of gardening, too.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41Because you don't just act together, you work together.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43We do, we've got our own gardening business, yes.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46And what's your garden like? Is it beautiful? Is it landscaped?

0:04:46 > 0:04:47LIZ LAUGHS Is it manicured?

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Or like anyone else when they have a profession at home,

0:04:50 > 0:04:53- it's not what you expect? - Yes, it's...- We keep on top of it.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55We keep on top of it, that's about it.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Yeah, you've got to do everyone else's before you do yours. - Before we do ours, yes.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01You've acted together, you work together in the garden,

0:05:01 > 0:05:04but this is something different, this is Bargain Hunt,

0:05:04 > 0:05:05how do you think it's going to go?

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Well, we're going to sort of go in... We don't know what we're

0:05:08 > 0:05:11actually going to go for in the end, we'll just see what's available.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14Spend small, but make big and get that golden gavel.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Well, you won't be going anywhere without some money,

0:05:16 > 0:05:19so, Barbara, for the Reds, let me give you £300.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Liz, for the Blues, the very same.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25Your experts are dying to meet you, so off you go, get to those shops.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28- OK.- Good luck. We're hoping for comedy, not tragedy.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30But either way, it'll be dramatic.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35With two antique centres for our teams to explore,

0:05:35 > 0:05:37they've certainly got their work cut out.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40So, let's meet today's experts.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Rocking it for the Reds is Kate Bliss.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47And on the ball for the Blues, it's Gary Pe.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Feel excited, you two?- Very excited. - Really, really excited.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Good.- Yes.- So, what are you going to be looking for, Barbara?

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Well, because we're from the Potteries,

0:05:56 > 0:05:59we would love to have a good quality piece of pottery from

0:05:59 > 0:06:03Charlotte Rhead, or Wedgwood, or something like that.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06I think I'd like to get something with a bit of history to it,

0:06:06 > 0:06:09- something that can tell a story... - I like that and I like that...

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Yeah, I'd like to get maybe a bit of silverware.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13I do like musical instruments, I will have a look...

0:06:13 > 0:06:15We really love these miniature pieces of furniture,

0:06:15 > 0:06:18you know, an apprentice piece of a little cabinet, or something like that...

0:06:18 > 0:06:22- I like the sound of that. - ..really pretty and I think they sell quite well, too.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24I think you're right, if we find the right one.

0:06:24 > 0:06:25TRUMPET BLARES

0:06:25 > 0:06:2860 minutes on the clock. Your time starts now.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31One hour. Let's go.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Let's head in.- Yeah, great.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Oh, this looks a good place, doesn't it?- It does, yes.- Great.

0:06:39 > 0:06:40First, to the Reds.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43And something has immediately caught Kate's eye.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46- The whole budget and more.- Yeah. 345, Barbara.- Yes.- No.- No.

0:06:46 > 0:06:51- Nice, though.- Oh, expensive taste, Kate. Perhaps move on.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53And the Blues are also jumping straight in.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Could they be on the case for their first purchase?- Thank you.

0:06:57 > 0:07:02- Ooh.- Oh, it's got a lift out... - Fantastic.- There you go.- Oh, wow.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06- Get a date on that. - Some newspapers in there.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08- What's the date on the newspapers? - 1972.- '72.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12- But this trunk predates that.- Yes. - It's got those...- Obviously.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Yes... Absolutely for things. - Mm.- Blimey...- Gloves and...

0:07:16 > 0:07:19- It's very nice though, isn't it? - If we could get that,

0:07:19 > 0:07:21what sort of price do you think we should be looking for, Gary?

0:07:21 > 0:07:24That's... Er...

0:07:24 > 0:07:28- What is it at?- 65. - Saying 65 at the moment, so...

0:07:28 > 0:07:31I would estimate that at auction...

0:07:31 > 0:07:35at between 30 to...45.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Well, it might be worth asking. - Do you want to go and have a go?

0:07:38 > 0:07:41- I'll have a chat with him. - Because you're, you're the haggler.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45Let's see how it looks, sort of...upright.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48- It's got a name on the side, as well.- As well?- Yes.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Oh, fantastic. What does it say?- It says PH Lane.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Excellent, there you go. - And then some more stickers.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57It looks good, even standing up like this. What do you think?

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Brilliant, that's the sort of thing I was looking for, I think.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Yeah, yeah.- Who's going to do the haggling, then?

0:08:02 > 0:08:05- You are.- David? - LIZ LAUGHS

0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Go on. Work your magic. - That way. That way.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11With David clearly shaking in his boots for their first deal,

0:08:11 > 0:08:13let's head back to the Reds.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17Now, could Barbara be on the right track with this find?

0:08:17 > 0:08:21- So, chaps...- Mm?- ..there's a rather jolly little engine here,

0:08:21 > 0:08:23a little kind of locomotive.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27- Um...- So, £45. So, um...

0:08:27 > 0:08:29It's not in great condition, but...

0:08:29 > 0:08:33- The thing about toys, particularly tin plated ones like this...- Yes.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37..condition matters, the factory matters, and actually,

0:08:37 > 0:08:41- Triang are a very well-respected company.- Yes.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Are they your sort of thing, Barbara? Do you like old toys?

0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Not normally.- Not normally, no... It just caught your eye.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49So why this one, then?

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Well, I suppose my eye is attracted to colourful things.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Well, it's only a thought.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Would it make us a profit? I'm not sure.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01If it's 45 and we, say got it for...

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- 20, even, or 25...- Mm.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07- I can see it.- Shall we just think about that?- Let's think about it.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Yes, yes. A possibility.- All right. - Definitely. Let's crack on, then.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13While we're here, I've just noticed something in this cabinet.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Are you dog lovers, you two? - Absolutely.- We are.- Are you?

0:09:16 > 0:09:18- We really are.- Well, come and have a look at this.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22There's a pair of, I would say they're dachshunds.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Yeah, I think they are.- Do you see them? They're bookends.- Yes.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28And I think they're pottery, but they're glazed

0:09:28 > 0:09:31- really realistically, aren't they? - I thought at first they were bronze.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Yes.- I'm sure they're Staffordshire. - Yes.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35But we just haven't got any names.

0:09:35 > 0:09:40- No, but I like those...- So, they're decorative value, really.- Yes.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Rather than a collector wanting them because they're by a particular factory.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47- They're decorative rather than utilitarian, yes.- I would say.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50And they're a bit brown, they're a bit drab.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53They don't really stand out very much.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56So, what price would you want to pay for them, Barbara?

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Well, they're currently 66. Is that right? Yes?

0:09:59 > 0:10:02I can see them at auction making maybe 15, something like that,

0:10:02 > 0:10:05- on a bad day.- Yes.- You've got to think worst-case scenario.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08- As you say, they're nice-looking, but...- OK.- Well done.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Well, we'll put them back, we'll think about them.- Yes, it's a shame.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15Cos I thought that was really quite promising.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19- Never mind.- Let's move on to the Faberge eggs and the Ming vases.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21- BARBARA LAUGHS - I'm following you, Barbara!

0:10:21 > 0:10:26Well, the Reds aren't wagging their tails in delight for those bookends,

0:10:26 > 0:10:30but back with the Blues, has David got a price on that travel trunk?

0:10:31 > 0:10:32- DEALER:- He said 40.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Could you do 39? - GARY LAUGHS

0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'll go 38, just for you.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41- GARY:- Oh! Oh!- Oh, you're a star. Thank you.- Absolutely.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43- DEALER:- I hope you have good luck.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Thank you.- Thank you very much, sir. - Thank you very much. - All the best to you.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Does she like it?- Yeah.- 35.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49LIZ LAUGHS

0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Oh!- Thank YOU very much, sir. - Thank you!- Good luck.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Yes, all the best to you, sir. - Pleasure.- Thank you, thank you.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Thank you.- Oh, wow. That's fantastic.

0:10:58 > 0:10:59THEY LAUGH

0:10:59 > 0:11:01My heart's...pounding.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04- That's OK.- There you go.

0:11:04 > 0:11:05Well done, Blues.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09That's your first item in the bag - and almost a 50% discount.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12And it looks like the Reds have also clocked something.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15- You like this clock?- Kate...

0:11:15 > 0:11:17What do we think of this clock?

0:11:17 > 0:11:20- This one here? Let's have a look. So, it's oak...- Yeah.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24And we've got some little silver mounts, by the look of things.

0:11:24 > 0:11:29- It's quite Art Nouveau in style. - But was it made yesterday?

0:11:29 > 0:11:32- I don't think so, no.- No.- I think it's got some age to it.- Yes.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36I'm just not thinking it's great quality.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38- I'm just looking at the back there. - No.- No.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42- We have got some workings. I think...- No.- No.- No.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44The ticket's fallen off, actually, so...

0:11:44 > 0:11:46- No.- No.- Yes...- I guess not.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49- No, I don't think it's going to go brilliantly.- No.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Right, shall we have a whizz down the other side?

0:11:51 > 0:11:53So, the Reds still need to make a purchase,

0:11:53 > 0:11:57but surely the Blues aren't looking to buy yet another trunk?

0:11:57 > 0:12:01- I sense a theme going on. - I think so.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Oh, gosh, no, that's £85.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07That's a bit much for a small box, isn't it?

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Maybe Gary can point them in another direction.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14- Bit of pottery?- I don't know anything about...- Seems to be a Doulton there.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Oh, Winston Churchill? - Winston Churchill, exactly.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20- What do you think? £48?- 48?

0:12:20 > 0:12:24- If it's an original and good condition.- Yeah.

0:12:24 > 0:12:30Then 48 with a bit of haggling going on, that's also...

0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Do you think that might be? - ..a piece that we could go for.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37- Shall we bear him in mind, then? - Bear him in mind.- Good one. - A thought.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Whilst the Blues are wondering about Winston,

0:12:39 > 0:12:43the Reds have their eye on something from another wartime period.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47We think we've got a couple of old shell cases.

0:12:47 > 0:12:51- I think you're absolutely right. - Looking at the bottom.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53That one is a different shell, isn't it?

0:12:53 > 0:12:57Yes, a cat of a different colour. They're not related.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00They're not, no. Were you thinking of both, or just one?

0:13:00 > 0:13:02- Just one, probably. - Just looking, really.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05A pair would be nice, but these are not a pair.

0:13:05 > 0:13:06They're not a pair, are they? No.

0:13:06 > 0:13:11The thing about trench art ware shell cases that have been

0:13:11 > 0:13:14embossed like this is, there's quite a few of them around.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18- Yes.- Indeed, it could have been done by somebody who didn't fight at all.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22- That's right. Yes.- It may have been done afterwards, quite a bit later.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25There's dates on here, but it's hard to work out what they all mean.

0:13:25 > 0:13:30- So probably not, then?- I would say we could do better than that. - OK.- Yes.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33- I think we can find something more exciting.- You're right.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Talking of which, I'm just conscious, time is ticking.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Yes.- Yes. We could - how is this for a suggestion -

0:13:39 > 0:13:44we could see if we could negotiate on the locomotive.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Maybe have that as our first purchase.- Yes.- I'd like to do that.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49And then maybe move on and look for two others somewhere else.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- I think that's an excellent idea. - Yes.- Yes?- Good idea, Kate.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55With 25 minutes gone and no items bought,

0:13:55 > 0:13:58you've got to get buying, Reds.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00Back with the Blues,

0:14:00 > 0:14:04can Gary convince the team this pottery is a prime purchase?

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Royal Doulton looks better outside the cabinet, doesn't it?

0:14:06 > 0:14:08- It does, yes.- Yeah.- It does.

0:14:08 > 0:14:13They made this in three sizes and this is the largest,

0:14:13 > 0:14:17and one thing I wanted to check was that mark.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21- Right.- Which is the old mark, because I think they produced this

0:14:21 > 0:14:23for about 20 years or so.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25OK, what does that tell you? How old is that one, then?

0:14:25 > 0:14:29- Well, this would be from the '50s. - Right, OK.

0:14:29 > 0:14:33- You've got Royal Doulton collectors...- Right.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36- ..you've got Toby jug collectors... - Yeah.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38- ..and you've got Winston Churchill collectors...- Oh, right.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40..who could be interested.

0:14:40 > 0:14:44- So you've got...- Three different lots.- Three different markets.- OK.

0:14:44 > 0:14:49- Well, the ticket price is 48. - Right, OK.

0:14:49 > 0:14:54So, Sir David, if we could get this down

0:14:54 > 0:14:59to about 25, 30.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Do you think you can do it?- I'll go and see the gentleman.- There we go. - Don't drop it!

0:15:02 > 0:15:06So David's in charge of another deal. Good luck, David.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09Back with the Reds, and has Kate negotiated a better price

0:15:09 > 0:15:11than £45 for the train?

0:15:11 > 0:15:14Guess what, the seller says

0:15:14 > 0:15:16- we can have it for 25.- 25.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18- What do you think about that? - That's excellent.

0:15:18 > 0:15:22- I think that would be really good. - Really good.- Yeah, let's go for that.- Well done.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24- Good, first purchase, then. - Absolutely.- Well done.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27But I have to tell you, we've got about half an hour left,

0:15:27 > 0:15:28so we've got to get our skates on.

0:15:28 > 0:15:29- We have.- Come on, this way.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33You had me worried there, Reds. Well done, getting your first item.

0:15:33 > 0:15:38Back with the Blues, David is negotiating that £48 ticket price on the jug.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Has he managed to do a deal?

0:15:40 > 0:15:41What did you get it for?

0:15:41 > 0:15:43- 25.- Did you?!

0:15:43 > 0:15:46You've done it again!

0:15:46 > 0:15:49- 25.- Good one. Excellent. - Onwards and upwards.- Yes.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53- Go, lead the way. - We will fight them on the beaches.

0:15:53 > 0:15:54The gavel is ours.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Don't get blase, Gary.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59Remember, you still have one item to buy.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02And whilst our teams are busy and riding high,

0:16:02 > 0:16:05I'm popping outside to journey into the past.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Well, hello, John.- Hello, there. - Hello, hi. I'm Tasha.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19Pleased to meet you, pleased to meet you.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Believe me, I'm pleased, because when I heard I was coming to see

0:16:21 > 0:16:24a classic vehicle, I did not expect to see this.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26Tell me how you came to own this lorry.

0:16:26 > 0:16:32It was supplied by a garage in Newark, Brooks Motor Company,

0:16:32 > 0:16:37in 1929 to a coal merchant at Sutton-on-Tent, which is

0:16:37 > 0:16:40a village eight miles north of here.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44I've lived in Sutton-on-Trent all my life and I knew this vehicle

0:16:44 > 0:16:46- when I was a small child.- Really?

0:16:46 > 0:16:52Even to the extent that when I was six or seven years old,

0:16:52 > 0:16:54I used to ride in the back of it.

0:16:54 > 0:16:55So as young as six or seven,

0:16:55 > 0:16:59you were already obsessed with vehicles. Would that be fair to say?

0:16:59 > 0:17:01That is very fair to say, yes.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Most people have never heard of a Manchester lorry.

0:17:13 > 0:17:17And Manchesters were actually built by a company in Heaton Chapel,

0:17:17 > 0:17:19just outside Manchester.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23They manufactured the lorries from 1928 to 1931,

0:17:23 > 0:17:25so a very short window.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Very short. It's wonderful, I must say.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29I've never seen a wooden steering wheel before.

0:17:29 > 0:17:33Well, I think, really, the wooden steering wheels were probably

0:17:33 > 0:17:36something of an American idea.

0:17:36 > 0:17:40A lot of the components on this vehicle were of American origin,

0:17:40 > 0:17:43although it was put together in Manchester.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45With the age of them now,

0:17:45 > 0:17:49you don't generally see them at car rallies, because they're not

0:17:49 > 0:17:53the most practical thing to drive, because one thing,

0:17:53 > 0:17:56- it only has brakes on the back wheels.- Oh!

0:17:56 > 0:17:59It's all for trust in the Lord and use the handbrake

0:17:59 > 0:18:02along with the footbrake, which are independent.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07The starter pedal is in rather an awkward place.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09- There we are. - ENGINE STARTS

0:18:09 > 0:18:10Oh, how good is that?

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Can I hop in for a spin?

0:18:12 > 0:18:13- By all means. Jump in.- Oh, OK.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16You won't be able to stop me.

0:18:16 > 0:18:17There we are.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24What a treat to see such an iconic piece of automobile memorabilia.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Now, back to the shopping and the Blues have two items

0:18:32 > 0:18:35and the Reds have one.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37What are the Blues honing in on now?

0:18:37 > 0:18:41Moorcroft. Sometimes that sells, but I don't know enough about it,

0:18:41 > 0:18:43and it's quite expensive.

0:18:43 > 0:18:48- £70.- We need that.- We need that.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52- I don't think it's very saleable. - OK.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54I think Joe and Barbara actually have got

0:18:54 > 0:18:56a really good eye between them.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59But it's taken us quite a long time to buy the first purchase,

0:18:59 > 0:19:01which I don't think is their fault,

0:19:01 > 0:19:05we just haven't seen the right thing that ticks the box for them.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08So I think although we've only got half an hour to go,

0:19:08 > 0:19:09the pressure's on.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12We're going to go to new hunting grounds and see if we can get

0:19:12 > 0:19:14two things that they both like in the bag.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18What do you think of this?

0:19:19 > 0:19:22That isn't what I was expecting.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Well, it's a big lump.

0:19:24 > 0:19:31It's a Monart vase and it's coloured in green and amber, I guess.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34And I can't see anything wrong with it.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36- And I think Monart's a good name, isn't it?- Absolutely.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39You're right about that. Let's just... It's a weighty piece.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42It is. A substantial piece.

0:19:42 > 0:19:46They're like Caithness, these Scottish art glass factories

0:19:46 > 0:19:50come up with what I think are some lovely pieces.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52It's really eye-catching. How about the price?

0:19:52 > 0:19:54That's just what I was looking at.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56What do you think about the price?

0:19:56 > 0:19:58We've got £145 on there.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02- This is quite a lot relative to our total budget.- Yeah.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06What do you think we'd get in an auction?

0:20:06 > 0:20:08I think it's a difficult one at auction.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11It is a really good, sizeable piece.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15This might fetch perhaps or have a cautious auction estimate of

0:20:15 > 0:20:16perhaps 50 to 80.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Right. - It might perhaps get 80 to 120.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22Joe, I think you need to ask what the best price is.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24OK, I'll go and do that.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Good luck, Joe.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Barbara, what price would you like to pay for it?

0:20:28 > 0:20:33I'd like you to put your finger over the 1 and just to see the 45.

0:20:33 > 0:20:34- Really?- Yeah.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36A big difference, isn't it?

0:20:36 > 0:20:39- I don't suppose they will give it to us for that.- No.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41But it is a big piece.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43If you like Monart glass or Scottish glass,

0:20:43 > 0:20:47- it should be a good piece for your collection.- Yeah.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51OK, you said, "Put your finger over 1 and make it a 45."

0:20:51 > 0:20:55I've got something I think actually quite close to that - 52.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Ooh!

0:20:57 > 0:20:58What did you say to the chap?

0:20:58 > 0:21:01Well, I'm afraid I've shaken his hand as well.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Oh, Joe.- Have you?

0:21:03 > 0:21:05He's done a deal.

0:21:05 > 0:21:06What do you think?

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Well, I think that's good.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10I think that's good.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12I think there might be a few pence in it.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Joe, well done.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Oh, Joe, what a discount.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Both teams are level pegging at 2-2.

0:21:20 > 0:21:25Back with the Blues, it looks like Gary's grabbing all the time he can.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28They're very sellable,

0:21:28 > 0:21:31because they are towards the end of the Art Deco period

0:21:31 > 0:21:35- and into the 1940s.- All right. - And certainly very stylish.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37What do you think about that?

0:21:37 > 0:21:39That's only £11.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42It looks good, but it doesn't work.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45At least, I don't hear the tick-tock.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48Which reminds me, one hour.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52- Let's go upstairs.- Come on.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55With time running out, what's the Red team's plan?

0:21:55 > 0:21:59Now I think since finding the Monart glass, we've had a bit of a U-turn.

0:21:59 > 0:22:00And I'm just looking at the time

0:22:00 > 0:22:03and thinking it might be better to stay here.

0:22:03 > 0:22:04I think you're right.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06We got two out of three. Let's stay here.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Let's journey on.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11I'm going to take you down there. We'll have a look at that corner.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14And surely it can't be time for coffee yet?

0:22:14 > 0:22:16I'll tell you what.

0:22:16 > 0:22:20- That coffee set is quite striking, isn't it?- It really is.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22It's quite lively, with that yellow and green.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25What do you think about the colours?

0:22:25 > 0:22:27- Six cups?- Yeah, we've got six cups.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29You'd want an espresso, wouldn't you?

0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Yes. - It certainly wouldn't do for me.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35- I like my pint of coffee.- Me too.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Can you read what it says on the bottom?

0:22:37 > 0:22:41- It says Empire. So it's Empire ware.- It says Shelton.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43Does it say Shelton?

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Yes. That's about a mile from where we live.

0:22:46 > 0:22:51- Is it?- Yeah. - It appeals to me immensely.

0:22:51 > 0:22:52Can I get my glass on it?

0:22:52 > 0:22:54Yeah.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56It says, "Empire, Shelton, ivory, England."

0:22:56 > 0:22:58It does.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01And it's got a series of numbers at the bottom.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04"Golden wattle" is the pattern.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08I think that might be an Australian plant.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11- So we're talking '30s? - I'm looking at the shape of it.

0:23:11 > 0:23:16And I would say that is '30s and '50s.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19I would say that's more of a '30s shape.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22What kind of price in an auction?

0:23:22 > 0:23:24I can see this at auction.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27I would put an estimate of probably £40 to £60 on it.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Right.- I would say.- OK.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31I think you need to go find out the price.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34- OK.- And work your magic.

0:23:34 > 0:23:35All right. I'll do my best.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38The men are certainly busy haggling today.

0:23:38 > 0:23:39Good luck, Joe.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41With just ten minutes left,

0:23:41 > 0:23:44the Blues have spotted something from the Orient.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46- That's interesting. - What does that mean?

0:23:46 > 0:23:50It's got the four-character apocryphal mark.

0:23:50 > 0:23:57This would be made in the reign of one of the last Qing emperors.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59- His name was Guangxu.- Right.

0:23:59 > 0:24:06It belongs to the period from the late 1800s to 1908.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08And is there much of a market for this sort of thing?

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Oh, the Chinese market is booming.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Is it?- Absolutely.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Particularly for pieces that are marked,

0:24:14 > 0:24:17and you've got a price of 27, so...

0:24:17 > 0:24:20Why don't we have a bit of a chat with the lady

0:24:20 > 0:24:22- and then hopefully you've got a deal?- OK.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24- Shall we go with that? - Yes, absolutely.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27- I'll go have a chat with her. - Thank you.- Good luck.

0:24:27 > 0:24:31So it's up to David once again to haggle with the owner.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33I wonder how Joe's done with that tea set.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36- What's the news? - Well, it's good news.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Though not quite as good as last time.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41I'm afraid I've done the deal already again.

0:24:41 > 0:24:4242.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44All right.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48They've been very generous and it's less than they paid for it.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52- Oh, gosh.- They paid 60. - Oh, gosh.- So 42, I think, is...

0:24:52 > 0:24:56- Give them some more in that case... - No, no!- No!

0:24:56 > 0:24:59Come on, Barbara, the game's called Bargain Hunt.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01So that's your last item bought.

0:25:01 > 0:25:05- We've done it, we've got three items.- Finally.- Well done.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09But will the Blues be able to negotiate that £27 ticket

0:25:09 > 0:25:15- price for the vase?- 20.- 20?- £20. Is that your best price on that? Yeah?

0:25:15 > 0:25:17It is, really.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21- That clock was only £11.- Yes.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23- How about if we put that back... - Yeah.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27..whizz downstairs, because we've got time, you see what you can

0:25:27 > 0:25:31- get the clock for and then we'll make our minds up.- Have we got time?

0:25:31 > 0:25:33- Have we got time? - We've got time.- Yes.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35Sounds like a good plan to me, Liz,

0:25:35 > 0:25:37but you don't have as much time as you think.

0:25:40 > 0:25:46- Wait a minute! I thought that clock was broken.- What do you reckon?

0:25:46 > 0:25:48- It's ticking.- It's ticking now? - It's working.- It's ticking now.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Well, it wasn't the last time I wound this.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54Like I said, it's probably dirt from the wind-up mechanism,

0:25:54 > 0:25:57- so it just took a little bit of time to unlodge it.- Yeah.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59- What do you think? That or the vase?- I think we should...

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Do you want to see what you can get that for?

0:26:01 > 0:26:03I think I should have a chat with my...

0:26:03 > 0:26:05- You're going to have a chat with your best friend?- My best friend.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08- OK, take it away.- Your BFF.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11That's brilliant. It's working.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Well, it's got to be a sign. - It has.- That has to be a sign.

0:26:14 > 0:26:15Has to be a sign.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18But will they be able to do a deal on the £11 ticket price?

0:26:18 > 0:26:22- Will be happy to do £6 for you.- £6 for me, sir?

0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Sir, thank you very, very much. - I thank you.- Thank you.

0:26:25 > 0:26:29What a bargain you've found, Blues, and that's your final item.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36- That's it, teams. Your time is up.- Time for tea, eh?

0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Yep, time for tea.- Off we go!

0:26:39 > 0:26:42Time to remind ourselves what the Red team bought.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45They think they're on the right track with this toy train -

0:26:45 > 0:26:46bought for £25.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52Barbara was besotted by this Monart style vase, paying £52.

0:26:54 > 0:26:58And they all loved this 1930s Staffordshire

0:26:58 > 0:26:59coffee set at £42.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02Well, I was on the edge of my seat.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05- 29 minutes and nothing bought. - That's right. It was quite tense.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Yes, it was quite tense but, Barbara,

0:27:07 > 0:27:10tell me, which of the three is your very favourite item?

0:27:10 > 0:27:12I think the puff puff train.

0:27:12 > 0:27:16- OK, and do think it's going to make the most profit?- Yes, I do.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18- I think so.- Joe, favourite item?

0:27:18 > 0:27:22I would agree that the train is my favourite. Really jolly red.

0:27:22 > 0:27:26I think the vase, though, given the great discount that I got it,

0:27:26 > 0:27:31- might make the most money. - Now, what did you spend? £119.

0:27:31 > 0:27:35- Yes, not too much.- £181 please, Joe. - That's it.- Thank you very much.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37And, Kate, do you have anything in mind?

0:27:37 > 0:27:40Well, you know, Joe and Barbara were so discerning

0:27:40 > 0:27:42and I mean that absolutely honestly.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44They had such a great eye.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47They spotted things that I completely missed, so I've got

0:27:47 > 0:27:48a bit of a tall order here.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51So, while Kate busies herself with the bonus buy,

0:27:51 > 0:27:54let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.

0:27:55 > 0:27:59Liz adored this cabin trunk and paid £35.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05This Winston Churchill Toby jug made by Royal Doulton cost £25.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08And the £6 clock was a last-minute buy.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Will it prove to be a bargain?

0:28:11 > 0:28:14Well, Liz and David, you predicted that you'd get along a treat.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17You worked well as a team and that's exactly what happened. Well done.

0:28:17 > 0:28:18Thank you.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21Now, tell me, what was your favourite item, Liz, of the three?

0:28:21 > 0:28:24I think my favourite item has to be the clock.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26- I think you just smell profit - that's all it is.- Yeah.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28Do you think it will bring the biggest profit?

0:28:28 > 0:28:31- I think it will, I think it has to, yeah.- And do you agree, David?

0:28:31 > 0:28:35- Biggest profit?- I did like the Toby jug. But, yes, I did like the clock.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37Hopefully that will be the biggest profit.

0:28:37 > 0:28:43Talking of money, you didn't spend a lot of it. £66 in total.

0:28:43 > 0:28:49- £234 left. Please may I have it?- You can.- Thank you very much. OK.- Coins.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51Oh, yes, I want those coins. There they are.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53Now, Gary, what are you thinking?

0:28:53 > 0:28:56Is there anything you were disappointed that you didn't get?

0:28:56 > 0:28:59- Something these guys walked past? - These guys gave me such a hard time.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01Maybe I'd return the favour.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06Well, good luck with your bonus buy.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09It's time now to head to the auction to see how it all pans out.

0:29:15 > 0:29:19We've gone from Newark to Nottingham and I'm here at Mellors and Kirk

0:29:19 > 0:29:23auction house with Nigel Kirk, Captain Kirk, shall we say?

0:29:23 > 0:29:25- How are you today, Nigel?- I'm fine. You're very welcome.

0:29:25 > 0:29:29We'll start off with Joe and Barbara for the Red team with a red item.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32This Tri-ang train. Does this bring back memories for you?

0:29:32 > 0:29:33Well, slightly, yes.

0:29:33 > 0:29:37I suppose it is, what? 1950-'60 period.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39And it's been well played with, hasn't it?

0:29:39 > 0:29:42The fact it's got its marks and losses and

0:29:42 > 0:29:45has been through the wars a bit, really, that is part of its history.

0:29:45 > 0:29:49A few nicks and scratches, so what will that do to the estimate?

0:29:49 > 0:29:53I've suggested £20-£30 and I think it's got to be worth that,

0:29:53 > 0:29:56- hasn't it?- Well, Joe and Barbara will be pleased because they

0:29:56 > 0:30:00paid £25 for it only, so, hopefully, they'll do well.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02Now, let's move on to what I hoped would be

0:30:02 > 0:30:07a Scottish bit of glass but, we have our suspicions, don't we, Nigel?

0:30:07 > 0:30:11Well, I wish it was Monart or Vasart and at first sight

0:30:11 > 0:30:15it does resemble that, but I'm pretty sure that's Czechoslovakian

0:30:15 > 0:30:18and will not have the collector's interest.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21So it's going now on purely decorative value,

0:30:21 > 0:30:23not on its name, so what do you think it'll make?

0:30:23 > 0:30:27It doesn't have much decorative value, so, I think, perhaps, 10,

0:30:27 > 0:30:28- £20, whatever we can get.- OK.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31Whatever we can get, I'm going to sell it.

0:30:31 > 0:30:33Well, I have to tell you Joe and Barbara did some pretty good

0:30:33 > 0:30:36- haggling and they got it down to 52, so...- Oh, dear.

0:30:36 > 0:30:40- You might have your work cut out. - I will indeed, yes.

0:30:40 > 0:30:43Now, let's move on to coffee. Are you a coffee drinker?

0:30:43 > 0:30:46Far too much of it. This coffee set is great, isn't it?

0:30:46 > 0:30:50It was made at Chelton, one of the five towns in the potteries

0:30:50 > 0:30:55and this, I think, has probably been somebody's wedding gift and it's sat

0:30:55 > 0:31:00in a cabinet for 70 or 80 years and has survived in mint condition.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03I think that will make £40-£60.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05OK, well, that's quite good news because Joe and Barbara

0:31:05 > 0:31:08- paid 42 for the whole set. - Oh, that was reasonable.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10And now it's time to find out what Kate bought as

0:31:10 > 0:31:15a bonus buy. Will the Reds be pleased with that?

0:31:15 > 0:31:17So, here it is.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19Crikey, what the heck is it?

0:31:19 > 0:31:25It's a stamp case and in 1906, 1907, in the Edwardian period,

0:31:25 > 0:31:28of course stamps were really important things and

0:31:28 > 0:31:33so this, probably, would have been worn on a gentleman's fob chain.

0:31:33 > 0:31:38- It's made of English silver.- May we ask how much?- Well, I paid 25.

0:31:38 > 0:31:42- That seems very reasonable. - I'd hope it would make £20-£40.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44Fingers crossed. I think it's a nice one.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46I love that myself and obviously we can't buy...

0:31:46 > 0:31:49- It's got a satisfying snap. - Yes, it has.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52It closes really tightly, doesn't it? Which is nice.

0:31:52 > 0:31:55As Barbara says, it's a satisfying little piece,

0:31:55 > 0:31:58but what will our auctioneer think of Kate's envelope?

0:31:58 > 0:32:00Will it be first class in his eyes?

0:32:02 > 0:32:03Here it comes.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06Will Kate be first past the post, do you reckon,

0:32:06 > 0:32:11- with this little stamp box? It's so sweet.- It's one of those.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14Postage stamp case, envelope design.

0:32:14 > 0:32:16They are not that rare and stamp collectors

0:32:16 > 0:32:18will occasionally buy them,

0:32:18 > 0:32:20but they want the unusual shapes.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23Occasionally, you might find some enamel on them that sends the

0:32:23 > 0:32:25price up into the stratosphere.

0:32:25 > 0:32:30That one dates from 1907, when you could post a postcard for

0:32:30 > 0:32:33a hapenny and it might even be delivered the same day.

0:32:33 > 0:32:35That one is a little bit tired and is

0:32:35 > 0:32:38- a common model, so 20 or £30. - 20 or 30.

0:32:38 > 0:32:41Well, Kate, I think, has done pretty well. She paid £25 for it.

0:32:41 > 0:32:45- Fine.- So, again, we're not too worried.

0:32:45 > 0:32:48It's a pretty good start for our Reds.

0:32:48 > 0:32:51So let's move over to our Blues, Liz and David.

0:32:51 > 0:32:55We'll start with this huge cabin trunk. It stands tall, doesn't it?

0:32:55 > 0:32:57Well, it's certainly large, isn't it?

0:32:57 > 0:33:02And although this trunk probably dates from about 1930,

0:33:02 > 0:33:05it's evocative but it's not evocative enough.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07OK, so what kind of price are you talking?

0:33:07 > 0:33:08What do you expect it to fetch?

0:33:08 > 0:33:12Well, I think if we get 20 or £30 for it, I'd be pleased,

0:33:12 > 0:33:17- but I'm not that optimistic. - They paid £35.- Paid too much.

0:33:17 > 0:33:18They might struggle. OK.

0:33:18 > 0:33:22Well, let's move on then to a great man, Winston Churchill.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26- He's not in the flesh, he's here. - Here he is.- In ceramic.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28Royal Doulton, of course.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31You'll have sold thousands of these in the past.

0:33:31 > 0:33:35This Royal Doulton Toby jug seems to encapsulate something of the

0:33:35 > 0:33:39man's character. However, because it was so popular, because he was so

0:33:39 > 0:33:45important, it was made in enormous numbers, so 20, 30, maybe £35.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47The team paid £25 for this one.

0:33:47 > 0:33:49I don't think they've paid over the odds.

0:33:49 > 0:33:51They're not going to lose at that, no.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53Now, let's move on to the Art Deco clock.

0:33:53 > 0:33:57One often finds with the phrases, Art Nouveau and Art Deco,

0:33:57 > 0:34:01is they are very overused phrases and, yes,

0:34:01 > 0:34:06this particular clock dates from the period, more or less, and is

0:34:06 > 0:34:08designed in that sort of style,

0:34:08 > 0:34:11but it is stretching the point a little bit.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13- A little bit, you think.- Yeah.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15I've given that a wide estimate of £20-£40.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18Oh, the team will be chuffed. Do you know what they paid for this?

0:34:18 > 0:34:21- £6.- Six? - How good is that?- Excellent.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24Well, Nigel thinks he's got some work to do for the Blues,

0:34:24 > 0:34:27so let's find out what Gary bought as a bonus.

0:34:30 > 0:34:34- Ah.- Bit of quality.- Wow.

0:34:34 > 0:34:39- It is a piece of Wedgwood Lustre.- So?

0:34:39 > 0:34:46- You know what I'm going to say.- Yes. - How much did you spend?- £32.- 32?

0:34:46 > 0:34:51- Can I hold it, please? 32?- What do you make of that?- That's pretty.

0:34:51 > 0:34:57- Do think it'll make us a few bob today?- £80.- Do you think so?

0:34:57 > 0:35:00Gary, I love it but it's time to find out if Nigel,

0:35:00 > 0:35:04the auctioneer, is bowled over by Gary's lustrous Wedgwood.

0:35:05 > 0:35:09Now, Gary must be a man of excellent taste because he's gone for

0:35:09 > 0:35:12a bit of lustrous Wedgwood.

0:35:12 > 0:35:16It's designed by the great Daisy Makeig-Jones in the 1920s and

0:35:16 > 0:35:21such pieces can bring colossal prices if they are decorated

0:35:21 > 0:35:23with fairies or elves,

0:35:23 > 0:35:28but she also did cheaper ranges decorated with other things

0:35:28 > 0:35:32and sadly this is not a fairyland Lustre and it's badly rubbed.

0:35:32 > 0:35:38- It is, isn't it?- Instead of being perhaps £200, I think 20 or £30.

0:35:38 > 0:35:42Despite the fact that the team left him so much money,

0:35:42 > 0:35:45- he only spent 32 on...- That's, OK. - ..the wee lustrous bowl.

0:35:45 > 0:35:48- He should be all right. - He should be all right at that.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50- So are you looking forward to taking the sale today?- Absolutely.

0:35:50 > 0:35:52- Do you love auctioneering?- I do.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55Excellent. We can't wait to see you in action.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58It's time to see how it all plays out at the auction.

0:35:58 > 0:36:00MUSIC PLAYS

0:36:03 > 0:36:08- Joel and Barbara, this is the moment of truth.- Yes.- How do you feel?

0:36:08 > 0:36:11- Excited.- Excited?- Yeah.- Barbara, you look like you're fit to burst.

0:36:11 > 0:36:17- Half cheerful, half fearful.- Yes. - Is that your motto for life?

0:36:17 > 0:36:20- Absolutely.- It is.- Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

0:36:20 > 0:36:24- The train is coming up now. Are you ready?- We are.- Here we go.- OK.

0:36:24 > 0:36:31Tri-ang red-painted tin plate toy train. Circa 1960. £20, for it?

0:36:31 > 0:36:3720, any interest at 20? £10. 10, 15, 20, 20, 25, £20 I'm bid.

0:36:37 > 0:36:41- Oh, we need one more.- One more. - Go on.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44£20. Going on? Selling at 20.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Small loss.- £20.- £20, not too bad.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51Means you've lost five but hope is not lost.

0:36:51 > 0:36:55We have got our Monart-style vase. You paid £52 for it.

0:36:55 > 0:37:00- Let's see how it gets on. - £10 for it? 10, 10, I'm bid, at £10.

0:37:00 > 0:37:07- 15 for it?- Starting at 10.- £10. 15, I say. 15, 20.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09- Come on.- Go on.- 25, 25, 30.

0:37:09 > 0:37:13£30. Here on selling at £30.

0:37:13 > 0:37:18- Oh. Sold for 30, so you've lost 22. - 27.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Overall, we're minus 27. - There goes the golden gavel.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Oh, don't worry too much about that.

0:37:23 > 0:37:27We're now pinning our hopes on our coffee set.

0:37:27 > 0:37:30- Barbara, you loved this coffee set. - Yes.- Fingers crossed

0:37:30 > 0:37:31it makes more than 42.

0:37:31 > 0:37:37- 40, I'm bid. Here at 40. 45, for it. 45.- ALL: Yes!- 45.

0:37:37 > 0:37:42Online bidder, selling at £45.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45- £45.- A modest profit.

0:37:45 > 0:37:50- OK, so you've clawed back £3. You're now minus 24.- Minus 24.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52So I have a question for you -

0:37:52 > 0:37:55what are you going to do about that bonus buy?

0:37:55 > 0:37:57Well, we liked it very much and I think we would have gone for it

0:37:57 > 0:38:00anyway, but particularly where we are, I think we've got to go for it.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03- You're going for it? - Yes, I think so, definitely.

0:38:03 > 0:38:07Edward VII silver envelope novelty postage stamp case. 1907.

0:38:07 > 0:38:15- £20. Is bid at 20.- Yes.- 25, 30. 30, 35, for it? £30 in the room.

0:38:15 > 0:38:1935, I'll take anywhere else. £30.

0:38:19 > 0:38:24Oh. £30. OK, so...

0:38:24 > 0:38:26We need five, so you're now minus 19.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29Minus 19, that's almost nothing.

0:38:29 > 0:38:31It's almost nothing. Do me a favour -

0:38:31 > 0:38:33- keep it to yourselves.- Absolutely.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Don't say anything to the Blue team. - Our lips are sealed.

0:38:36 > 0:38:40We'll see you it all goes in a minute. Well done.

0:38:40 > 0:38:43MUSIC PLAYS

0:38:50 > 0:38:54Liz and David, look at you bonding with Gary. Are you excited?

0:38:54 > 0:38:56- Oh, over the moon. - You're over the moon?

0:38:56 > 0:38:58You've not made any profits yet!

0:38:58 > 0:39:01- I don't care, I'm just here. - So you're just happy to be here.

0:39:01 > 0:39:02Promise me, no matter what happens,

0:39:02 > 0:39:05- you'll still be happy to be here. - Yes.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08Now, you've got three fab items. We're starting off with that trunk.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10Here we go.

0:39:10 > 0:39:13A canvas-covered cabin trunk.

0:39:13 > 0:39:20£20 for this. 20? £10. 10, bid. £15 on my right.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23- We need more.- I'm selling. £15.
