0:00:02 > 0:00:03Today, Bargain Hunt is in Derbyshire.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06I'm told that if I look very carefully,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09I might just be able to see the area's most famous mascot.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14It must be here somewhere.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19Ah, there he is.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21The Derby Ram.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Complete with the Ram Major and the Ram Orderly.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28The ram is the mascot of the Mercian Regiment.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Now, let's see if our teams will lock horns today.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Fall in, men. Let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And the fair is in the grounds of Kedleston Hall.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04With over 400 stalls here,
0:01:04 > 0:01:05there are lots
0:01:05 > 0:01:07and lots
0:01:07 > 0:01:10and lots to choose from.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13The teams have £300 to buy three items in 60 minutes.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15But first, let's see what lies ahead.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19The Reds play it down to the wire.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Right, we're running out of time, fast.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Go on, off you go.- Go on, then.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Whilst the Blues are having fun and games.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28The thing is...I want to play it.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31There's joy at the auction.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Yes!
0:01:33 > 0:01:3632.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39And I find out how a daring plan 350 years ago
0:01:39 > 0:01:42saved lives in a nearby village.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47Because they stayed resolute, we know for a fact
0:01:47 > 0:01:50that nowhere else in Derbyshire were affected by the plague.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55Well, all that's coming up later, but first, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59For the Reds, we've got newlyweds Jayne and Chris.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02And for the Blues, we've got partners Paul and Jo.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Hello.- Hello.- Hello, hello, hello.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05So, Jayne.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Hello.- Jayne with a Y, very important.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- That's right, yes.- OK. How did you two meet?
0:02:09 > 0:02:13It was my first day in my job as the receptionist at the local hospital.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Chris was the porter.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18And his face appeared at the window of the office
0:02:18 > 0:02:20and I stuck my tongue out,
0:02:20 > 0:02:21was very rude to him and told him where to go.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Really? - And apparently, he fell for me.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Well, that sounds rather like where the fun began.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- Yes.- But I believe you had a rather unconventional wedding.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Oh, yes. We arranged for a very good friend of ours,
0:02:34 > 0:02:38who is a very good Captain Jack Sparrow looky-likey...
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- AKA, Johnny Depp.- Even better than the original himself.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Oh, really? And you would know, being a woman.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Of course. And we arranged for him to crash the wedding
0:02:46 > 0:02:47and bring the rings in.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49And we didn't tell the guests.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52So, when the best man apparently forgot the rings...
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Yes.- ..and in swaggered Captain Jack Sparrow,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58everybody just erupted into a round of applause
0:02:58 > 0:03:00and it was absolutely fantastic.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- So, he brought you the rings. - He did.- Chris.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Hi.- It tells me here that you work as a DJ.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07I used to, many years ago, yes.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Yes. Me and my mates started up one.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11We went down the pub one night and they were short of a DJ,
0:03:11 > 0:03:12so we went back home
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and got just the basic amp for it and some speakers.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- And we had some little rope lights. - Right.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- That's how we started off. - That was it.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23But after a while, we managed to get enough money to buy all the equipment.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I'm just interested in knowing your characters now.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Do you think that there will be any arguments today?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- Not from me.- No.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Yes, there will.- No, there won't. - Yes, there will.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- What about tactics? - Buy cheap, sell for lots.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Yeah.- Finish in 15 minutes, feet up, cup of tea.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Done.- Oh, OK. Well, we'll see about that later.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43But over to the Blues.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46So, Paul, how did you get together with Jo?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Both of our sons played in the football team
0:03:49 > 0:03:52and we got together a number of years after that.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55But that's where we originally met, through my love of football.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Now, I hear that you are a bit of a risk taker.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I have done a few risky things in my life, I suppose.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Probably the scariest thing before today
0:04:04 > 0:04:07was jumping out of an aeroplane at 3,500 feet on my own.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09So, Jo, it seems obvious to me
0:04:09 > 0:04:11that you've teamed up with Action Man here, haven't you?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Oh, I know.- But having said that, I believe you trained as a florist.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I did. It was a three-year evening course I did
0:04:17 > 0:04:19and since then, I've been doing a few weddings,
0:04:19 > 0:04:21mainly for family and friends.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I believe, Jo, that you are very much into dogs.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- Or is it dog?- Billy. Billy the dog.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30He's a little cavachon and he's a bit of a babe magnet.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33And all the ladies are coming by and saying, "Oh, he's lovely."
0:04:33 > 0:04:36And I think they're talking about me.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38But unfortunately, it's Billy the dog.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39But he has another useful talent.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Go on.- Which might be of interest here, actually.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Because we knocked the shed down at the back of the garden
0:04:44 > 0:04:48and one day he went down there and started barking.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51And when we went down there and had a look at what he was barking at,
0:04:51 > 0:04:55we found a big, old, antique garage sign.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56An enamel garage sign.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Found out it was worth about £350.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59- Wow!- Yeah.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Thing is, you're not going to have Billy the dog
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- to sniff out your bargains today, are you?- No, no.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07No, so again, tactics. What's it going to be?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Well, Jo thinks I don't like to spend money,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13so I've got to be nice and mean with the prices that we're paying.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Yeah.- Try and get the best price we can.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17OK. Well, you're going to need some money.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19So, there is £300.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Thank you.- There's your £300.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Thank you.- So, I'm going to bid you farewell and I want you to go
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- and meet your experts. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:05:28 > 0:05:34So, why is it that I feel the charge of competition crackling in the air?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Now, it's time to meet our experts.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40So, lighting the way for the Reds, it's Danny Sebastian.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46And with a relaxed approach for the Blues, it's Jonathan Pratt.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50OK, team, what are we looking for today then, Jayne?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Small silver items.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Snuffboxes.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Matchboxes.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Oh, I fancy something a little sparkly.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- OK. A bit of bling.- A bit of bling.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- And Chris?- Something quirky, I would think.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Something small. Like a pincushion.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I like a bit of silverware.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04A bit of pewter, something like that.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- OK.- Listen up, team. You're under marching orders.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09And your time starts now.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Well, it's a big fair, here.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Plenty to choose from. Let's go.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14- Yes!- Let's go and look for bling.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Come on, let's go.- Yes!
0:06:17 > 0:06:21The Reds wanted silver and they've gone straight for the shiny stuff.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Anything nice in there? - Well, I like plates.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- And bottles.- Yes, and...
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- I think those are quite... - Quite nice, really.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- Yeah.- But I think they're priced individually.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Yeah.- 58, I can see on one, and 30 on another.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Yeah.- They just seem a little rich to me, really.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42You know. So, I think on that note, we should probably say...
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Move on a little bit. - Move on little bit, yes.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Yeah, OK. No problem.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Yeah. Not for you this time, Reds.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Now, the Blues have spotted something
0:06:52 > 0:06:54that reminds them of their dog.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56That's like the sign that Billy the dog found.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57- Oh, right. - Obviously a different company.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Was it a soap one that he found, then?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01No, he found a 1920s petrol sign.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03But it was that type of enamel sign.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Well, the motoring interest is big.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Really big. Vintage motoring is really big.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- But everything vintage is popular now.- Right.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13These are things that people are hanging
0:07:13 > 0:07:16in their laundry rooms or washrooms at home.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19They seem quite expensive, JP. There are £185.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20I'd say it's quite expensive.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I think that takes over half our money.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Yeah. We'll move on. - I think we'll look on.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28They might not clean up at that price,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30but it's still early days, Blues.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Do I sense a washing theme developing here?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Beach laundry, Felixstowe.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I've never seen a laundry box, have you?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- No, not like that. - No, and very, kind of, rare
0:07:41 > 0:07:43to see them in wood, really.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Yeah.- They're sort of more in cardboard.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47And this is quite nice, it's got a lot of nice furniture over it.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Has it got all its bits? - It seems to, doesn't it?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53It's got its strap on it. It's got two nice handles.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56It's quirky. It's like what you said. It's quirky.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59You know, this kind of storage is very in vogue at the minute.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Yeah.- Boxes, luggage. People do like it.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03They do like old luggage, don't they?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- A little bit different. - Yes.- I must say.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Shops like to display things like this, don't they?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Absolutely.- Yes.- Use it for shop props and stuff like that.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Yeah.- Well, what's the price on that one then, Danny?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Well, it's got a ticket on it for £42.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Right. What do you think it's likely to make at auction?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Well, I'd like to think that it could make between,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23perhaps, even £40 to £60.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26We're quite interested in this little laundry box.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Yup.- Just wondering at all whether or not there's any movement on the price.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- There's always movement here. - There's always movement.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34There's always movement here.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36To you, 30 quid.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Can't go any lower than that? - No, I'm out of that, to be honest.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Oh, go on. You've got a kind face. Drop it to 25.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I can't do 25, honestly.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Can you do 28?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Go on, you can. Go on.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- Go on, 28 quid.- Can you do that?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- 28 quid.- Shake the man's hand.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52- There were go.- Thank you.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56'First purchase in 18 minutes. Good job, Reds.'
0:08:56 > 0:08:59So, ready to do some catching up, Blues?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02JP? I've seen something I quite like.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06It's an album full of old birthday cards.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09They look like they're turn of the 1910s, sort of, era photos.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Exactly that. - What are they like at market?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Are people interested in buying this type of thing?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18They are. Cards can be worth from, you know, 10, 20, 30p
0:09:18 > 0:09:19to a few pounds each.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21And then the rarer ones might be worth more.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25You know, you've got to have some quite rare ones to add proper value.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Excuse me, how much is your album?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- 25.- Oh, right.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31But you say that they are worth about £1, about that.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33No, on a good day.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36If that were an album full, then it would be worth going.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I don't think there's enough in there to whet the appetite.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Perfect here, but a lot in an auction?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I think it's a little bit on the lean side.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Even at £20?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Oh, she's going for it.- What's your best price you can do for this?
0:09:48 > 0:09:53The lady said 20, and I would accept 20.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54But what's your best price?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- That is it. - Well, you've got to buy one, Jo.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Shall we have a... Shall we have a think about it and come back?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02But I do actually like that.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04You know I said I wanted something that was sparkly.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Well, I've gone off-piste.- Yes.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Nothing wrong with veering off your shopping list
0:10:09 > 0:10:11as long as you get three in the bag.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14You're 22 minutes in and you haven't made a purchase.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Better get moving, Blues.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Hey.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20The Reds wanted silver and they've found a little trinket.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Right. Can I just ask you, Danny, what's this item here?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Is it a shaker?- A scent bottle.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27A scent bottle.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I have just seen... Now, I'm a Birmingham girl.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- That's Birmingham silver. - It is Birmingham.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Open it up. Stopper's in it and it's coloured glass inside.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'm getting good vibes.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39You're getting coloured glass.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Is it pink?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Have a good look, Jayne. - Let's have a little look.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45That is gorgeous. What do you reckon, Chris?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47I think that's really nice. With the pink inside.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I know you don't like the pink, but I think it goes.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51No, I mean... I think it looks really nice.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Never a truer word, you know, famous last words.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I said I would never go for anything pink.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- But that is gorgeous.- But you can't see that pink, can you?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- It's inside the silver. - It actually adds to it.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03The fact it's got the glass in it. It really adds a little extra touch.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- It kind of complements it. - It certainly does.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07What would you reckon?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Well, the gentleman's got it on at 85.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Is there any movement at all, sir, on that price?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- 60.- I think, at auction,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15it's probably going to make between 50 or 60.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18I don't think we're going to make a great profit.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Would you be prepared to hang on to it for a while?
0:11:21 > 0:11:22It is what you are looking for, Reds.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26I'd say think pink and don't hang on too long.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28You are 25 minutes in.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32The Blue team have also spied something silver.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Here we go.- Not having looked at it, is it English?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I believe so, yes. I think it's about 1917.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Gosh, I can't see that now.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42It's very, very tiny.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44There's the sterling.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Letter O. The little maker's mark on there is quite sweet.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49But it's sort of around the...
0:11:49 > 0:11:52It is, sort of, early 20th century.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Do you see a profit in here?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Depends what you can negotiate for, darling.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58How much? How much is your best price on that?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00What was it on there? Let's have a look.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I'll give you a chance. I'll do it for 20 for you.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Well, I tell you what, it's got an eight in there.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Can you make it down to 18? Keep a bit of symmetry there?
0:12:09 > 0:12:10- And you've got a deal.- I'd say 15.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I can't do 15. I'll do you 18.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Going to do 18.- Shall we do 18?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- What a double act.- All right.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20That's one in the bag. There's one. Off we go.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22'Took your time, Blues.'
0:12:22 > 0:12:2527 minutes in, and that's your first purchase.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Now, are the Reds on track to find their next buy?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32So, what really are we looking for?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I suppose it's signs with station names on.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Yeah, station names. - Or that's got some...
0:12:38 > 0:12:39I think we've got to remember
0:12:39 > 0:12:43that we've got to try and find something that's rather commercial.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Yeah.- I'm just looking at that there,
0:12:45 > 0:12:46because that'll appeal to two people.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49It's got the Derby name and it's the railway collectors,
0:12:49 > 0:12:50plus the Derby locality.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Ah.- Jayne...
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Touche!
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Good thinking.- Very clever. - Yeah, it's got a dual appeal.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Yes, it has. Yes.- What do you think it would make at auction?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- Being as it's a local... - I think it's quite plain.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- Yeah.- You know, I don't think we're going to make a big profit,
0:13:05 > 0:13:06if a profit at all.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09You know, we may need to ask the gentleman
0:13:09 > 0:13:12whether he can come down in price somewhat,
0:13:12 > 0:13:16so that it gives us a chance to make a profit at auction.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19What would your best price be on that?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Let's have a look.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I could do that for 80.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26That is the very best.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I was thinking quite a bit lower than that - weren't we?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30It is a locomotive works plate.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Collectors do get steamed up about railway nameplates,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36but the price must be right for a profit.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Time to move on, Reds.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Now, over to the Blues, where it's all to play for.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Round snooker. Oh, no, blow snooker.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44You got the score on the side there.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- How old would something like this be?- 1910, I think.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50- About 1910.- Yeah.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52It's a gentleman's after-dinner game, apparently.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Yes, you call it puff billiards,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57because you puff the balls across the board, so I'm told.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01These are obviously rubber, which could perish,
0:14:01 > 0:14:02but they all seem OK.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04It says "Made In France".
0:14:04 > 0:14:06It looks all as you'd expect something to be of that date.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Can you tell us what the price is for this, please?
0:14:09 > 0:14:10This is £95.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12£95 seems like a lot to me.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- I agree.- But do you know what? The thing is...I want to play it.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Yeah, it's tactile, isn't it? - It is tactile. And it's a giggle.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20But it's not exactly a common or garden, you know...
0:14:20 > 0:14:22I think it's expensive for...
0:14:22 > 0:14:25What's your best price you could give for us?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I'm going to do 85 on it, that's it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30If I was going to auction, I don't think I'd be buying...
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Spending, sort of, £80, £90 on a game.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I'm not sure Jo is convinced by boys' toys.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40I think Jo's adamant not to.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Oh, have it. Have it.- Are you sure?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Just to keep her happy,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48would you reduce your best price by another £5
0:14:48 > 0:14:50and we've got a deal at £80?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- Yes, all right. - Thanks very much. Thank you.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56'Excellent. With 20 minutes left, one item to go.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58'But is Jo entirely happy, Jonathan?'
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Paul seems to have got right in the spirit of it.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I don't think Jo likes anything that Paul's buying, or wants to buy.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07But time is of the essence.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11And now, the responsibility's firmly in her hands for the last purchase.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13So, we'll see what happens.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Meanwhile, the Reds are still looking at railway memorabilia
0:15:17 > 0:15:20and they've found a mid-20th century lamp.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- What's LNER? London? - London North Eastern Railway.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26London North Eastern Railway.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Is there a different colour? - The top rotates.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Ah, I see. OK.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Ah, that's clever, isn't it?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34And it's got a price ticket on it of £55.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Right.- I wonder what the best price on that would be.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Yeah. The best price on that, to you, would be 48.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42What do you reckon? Shall we go for it?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Or did you...? You like that one, as well.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- And what's that one called again? - That's a signal lamp.- A signal lamp.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51That fits at the back of the signal arm and it has the inner lamp.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54How cool is that?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57What would your best price be on that one, again? 75?
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Would be about 60.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Shall we take a punt on that?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Yeah.- Yeah, I think so. Definitely. - Very good.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Shake the man's hand. Thank you.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08'So, now it's 2-2, with ten minutes to buy their last item.'
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Is Jo about to stir things up?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Each terminal is a different...
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- It's a different...- Battlefield. - That's right, yes.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- Now, these are foreign silver... - Yes.- ..I'm assuming,
0:16:20 > 0:16:22cos I couldn't see an English mark on the back.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- It's worn, but it looks like it's silver.- Yes.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I think they're nice quality, but they're not English silver, no.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Does that make a big difference on the price?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31It's nice if it's English.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33But, you know, it depends what they're commemorating.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Cos the collectors... You've got two elements of value here.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39You got the silver content - tea, coffee spoons.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41But you've also got the collector's element,
0:16:41 > 0:16:42which is historical military.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Yeah.- Let's have a look and see what these...
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I don't recognise these terminals.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- Yes.- So, that's the cross of Lorraine, isn't it?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50That's what that is.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51Well, it's entirely up to you.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53If you got them for 20 quid, then who knows?
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Just interested to know what we could have them for.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58My best would be 35.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01What do you think? Cos I quite like them.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04It's your choice. I pushed hard on the last one, so...
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- Would you hold them for me? - I will.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- Yes, that's absolutely fine. - Cos I do like them,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I just want to have one quick look around the market.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Yes, I'll hang on to them. - Thanks very much.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15'Don't leave it too long. Time is running out.'
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Now, what have the Reds found?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I think this inspection set is very quirky.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23There's something missing, as well.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25It might be a dentist...
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Because I can see these, kind of, mirrors.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- It doesn't really grab me.- No.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33It's crunch time now, guys. Only four minutes to go.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38We're running out of time fast.,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Now, what about that perfume bottle you sniffed out earlier?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44It's still there. Don't forget, we've only got 50 quid.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Hard luck. No point coming.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- Turn round, he said.- Where is it? Where is it? Where is it?
0:17:51 > 0:17:52What was the price?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- 60.- 55.- 60. - 55, and we'll shake your hand.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Oh, well done.- Thank you!
0:17:58 > 0:18:00'Great, the Reds have all three items
0:18:00 > 0:18:03'with a minute left on the clock.'
0:18:03 > 0:18:05So, Blues, you need to get a move on.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08It looks like they're heading back
0:18:08 > 0:18:10to those spoons they spotted earlier.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- So, there they are. - Is that your very best price?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- It is, yes. Sorry. - Couldn't knock another pound off?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Oh, £1? Yes, I'll do £1 for you.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- £1 is better than nothing. - 34, yes?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Very kind, thank you.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24C'est fini, your time is up.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27So, you did it. Three items bought, right down to the last second.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I was going to have a heart attack. Honestly.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32But there, you've done it. Well done.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Now, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Can they clean up with the laundry box, which cost £28?
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Will the bidders get all aboard for the railway lamp, priced £60?
0:18:48 > 0:18:52And there's the silver scent bottle, bought for £55.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56So, Danny, you showed true mettle there.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Nerves of steel.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00I tell you what, Eric, we nearly only bought two items.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- But we did it. We got three items. - Which is your favourite?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05My favourite item was the laundry box.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- The laundry box.- Yeah.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Really old and it's been used.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- Yeah.- It's been around the world, or the country.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14It looks really nice.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16And what about you? Jayne with a Y.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- It's my favourite item, as well. The laundry box.- It is? Oh, right.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22It's got a bit of history to it, you know. It could tell a story.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24So, if I was to ask you which is the item you think
0:19:24 > 0:19:28you're going to make the most profit from,
0:19:28 > 0:19:29would you both agree on that?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31I would still go with the laundry box.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Would you?- Yeah.- OK. - I'm going to slightly differ there.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- OK, go on. - I actually love the railway lamp.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Well, railwayana collectors can often be big spenders.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Yep.- There may be something in what you're hoping for there.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I hope so, yes, definitely.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50OK. Well, you went out and you spent yourselves £143,
0:19:50 > 0:19:54OK, which means that you should be giving me £157.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- 157.- OK. Well...
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Which, in turn, is now going to Mr Sebastian.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Thank you very much.- OK.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04You're going to spend that wisely, aren't you?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Well, yes. There's one or two things I've seen while I was around.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10So, I might have something that you might well like.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Meanwhile, let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Will they see a nice profit in the magnifying glass?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Cost, £18.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Will the puff billiards be a game changer at auction?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26They paid £80.
0:20:27 > 0:20:33And will the cutlery they bought for £34 SPOON up a profit?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Well, you're very big at thinking, you two, aren't you?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I mean, it took you 30 minutes
0:20:37 > 0:20:39to think what to buy for your first object.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42And then 30 seconds left on the clock
0:20:42 > 0:20:43before you bought number three.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45So, what was going on today?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Bit of time management and taking it to the edge.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50But we just got in there just in time.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Paul, what do you think is your favourite item you bought today?
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I think the game, because I think that was a bit of fun.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Come on, Jo, what about you?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I think I'd go for the spoons.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02We bought five spoons and they're from World War I
0:21:02 > 0:21:05and they've all got a little bit of history about different battles.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Let's talk profit.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Right. Right.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Jo, what do you think is going to give us the biggest profit?
0:21:12 > 0:21:13The magnifying glass.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- And what about you, Paul?- I also think the magnifying glass, as well.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19So, we're definitely in agreement on that one.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- So, how much did you spend today? - We spent 132 today.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Which means that you're going to hand me back £168.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Indeed we are.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- There it is.- Lovely, which I'm going to give to JP.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- Thank you very much.- Right, anything you spotted on the way there,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Jonathan?- Well, after shopping for an hour with them,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40I've got a very clear idea what they like.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42No idea, frankly. Eric, I'm being silly.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Well, while you're dwelling on what to buy, Jonathan,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47I'm off to find out about a fascinating local story.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I've come to Eyam, a quiet village in Derbyshire.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07But 350 years ago, this was the scene of a special event.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15And the remarkable story is told here, at the village church.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22In 1665, the plague was raging across London
0:22:22 > 0:22:26when a tailor delivered cloth from the capital to Eyam.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Unfortunately, the material was infested with fleas
0:22:30 > 0:22:32carrying the disease.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Rector Mike Gilbert can tell me
0:22:34 > 0:22:37about the dramatic impact the plague had on the villagers.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41The "ring a ring o' roses", was red blobs on people's faces.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Oh, is that where it comes from? - Yes, well, that's some people think.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46There's black nodes on people,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49vomiting, high fever, very quickly -
0:22:49 > 0:22:51very few people survived.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54So, how was the actual disease transmitted?
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Well, initially a flea carried by a rat would bite a person
0:22:59 > 0:23:02and the bacteria would get into the bloodstream of that person.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04But then it became pneumonic
0:23:04 > 0:23:06and so it would be able to be transmitted
0:23:06 > 0:23:09from person to person, a bit like the flu.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12But obviously, they wouldn't have known that at the time, of course.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15No, so, their medical understanding was very limited.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19They were at a loss why it happened and what to do about it.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Following the Civil War,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26there were bitter divisions in the Church
0:23:26 > 0:23:29about which form of Christianity to follow.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33In Eyam, two priests with very different religious views
0:23:33 > 0:23:37struck up an unlikely alliance to tackle the plague.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Their names were Stanley and Mompesson.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42As they talked together,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45they formed a plan which they sold to the village,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48which has come down through the ages as a remarkable plan,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51not only for its courage, but also for its wisdom.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57The priests suggested the villagers accepted total quarantine -
0:23:57 > 0:24:00an act equivalent to signing their own death warrants
0:24:00 > 0:24:02and, with great bravery, they agreed.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Mompesson was full of ingenious, practical ideas
0:24:07 > 0:24:09to stop the spread of the disease
0:24:09 > 0:24:12and Mike's taken me to see one of them.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15We've walked for ten minutes, Mike, away from the church.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17You've brought me to this incredible spot.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18So, why have you brought me here?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Well, this is a place called Cucklett Delf.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23As you can see, it's a natural amphitheatre,
0:24:23 > 0:24:27with a naturally formed limestone arch.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30This was William Mompesson's pulpit.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33One part of the plan was that they wanted to worship together,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36but being in church, obviously, it would spread the plague.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37So, they closed the church down.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41A big, big ask for the folks of the 17th century.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45But here, they could sit in family groups around the amphitheatre
0:24:45 > 0:24:48and Mompesson, with his preacher's voice, could communicate
0:24:48 > 0:24:52right across the amphitheatre, encouraging them,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56helping them to stay steadfast to their calling of self-sacrifice.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59So, how did they go about actually getting provisions?
0:24:59 > 0:25:02They set up spots around the boundary where people could leave
0:25:02 > 0:25:05provision and they would obviously pay,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08but they would pop it in either vinegar or in water,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10so the money would be cleansed.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12They also persuaded the villagers
0:25:12 > 0:25:16that they didn't need to be buried in sacred ground,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18which must have been very difficult for them.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22But to be buried close to home in small, family plots.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26And again, that was a wonderful plan to stop the plague spreading.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32But Mompesson did one more thing that was really extraordinary.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37He wanted people in the outside world to know what was happening.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40So, he came to a place like this
0:25:40 > 0:25:43to meet the priest from the neighbouring village
0:25:43 > 0:25:46and then shouted across the great divide.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49He dictated the letters to John Walker,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51the vicar of Hathersage,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53and these letters still exist.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56And they still bring home the full horror of what was going on.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05"I may truly say our town has become the place of a skull.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08"My ears never heard such doleful lamentations,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11"my nose never felt such horrid smells
0:26:11 > 0:26:15"and my eyes never held such ghastly spectacles."
0:26:18 > 0:26:21This self-imposed siege lasted a year
0:26:21 > 0:26:24and in that time, of about 800 villagers,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26260 died.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Do you think that Mompesson and Stanley's actions
0:26:33 > 0:26:34actually did save lives?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Because they stayed resolute,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40we know for a fact that nowhere else in Derbyshire,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43and therefore beyond into neighbouring counties,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45were affected by the plague.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50So, you could even suggest that both those two men literally saved
0:26:50 > 0:26:53thousands and thousands of lives.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I'm certainly persuaded that that's a fact.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58A truly incredible story.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01But now we're going off to the auction in Etwall
0:27:01 > 0:27:03and to meet our auctioneer.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Well, we've travelled to south Derbyshire
0:27:14 > 0:27:16and we're now in the auction house
0:27:16 > 0:27:19of none other than Mr Charles Hanson.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20- Hello, Eric.- Hello, Charles.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Great to see you.- I have to say,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25this is the first time for me in your emporium.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Welcome, Eric, to the theatre of dreams!
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Well, when it comes to dreams,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I'm thinking more in terms of our Red team today, Jayne and Chris.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Yes.- So, shall we have a look at what they've gone and bought?
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Absolutely. - Starting with a laundry box.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I'd never seen the likes of that before.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43It's a neat, almost country house-looking object.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46It has that shabby chic interest and feel.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48It's in nice condition.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51It's clean and it's got some real history.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- If only it could talk.- What do you think it's going to fetch?
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Well, I think this market...
0:27:55 > 0:27:57We think of the big names in vintage luggage,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59this is quite middle-range,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02but probably quite unique for what it represents
0:28:02 > 0:28:03and with what it's inscribed.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07So, we're being quite cautious with a guide price of about £30 to £50.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Well, they'll be pleased with that, because they paid £28 for it.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15And what's more, it was Chris and Jayne's favourite item.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- Brilliant.- But anyway, item number two, a railway lamp.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21- It's quite clever. Derby's a great railway town...- Yes.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24..with great history and it's an object which,
0:28:24 > 0:28:26as a sector of the antiques market today,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28is performing very well.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29It is in nice condition.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33It is an original example and we rate it quite highly.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36OK. And your estimate is?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Between £40 and £60, but it has got legs.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43They paid 64, so they're in with a fighting chance.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- OK, yes.- Indeed.- Item number three is the silver scent bottle.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50There's always a big market amongst collectors for scent bottles.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52This one's a very handsome, striking one,
0:28:52 > 0:28:55with that good, almost pierced ornamentation.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59- And estimate?- I've gone into really get the market warmed up
0:28:59 > 0:29:01with a guide of between £40 to £60.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- They paid £55 for it.- Good.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07So, I think it's probably as well for us to look at the Bonus Buy.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08- They may need it.- Absolutely.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09So, let's just do that.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Let's go and look at the Bonus Buy.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Well, Reds, Jayne and Chris.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18You went out and you spent £143,
0:29:18 > 0:29:22which meant that I could give to Mr Danny Sebastian
0:29:22 > 0:29:26£157 to go out and find you a Bonus Buy.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29You've done just that, Danny. Would you like to reveal all?
0:29:29 > 0:29:31What I've bought is a lovely little brooch.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- Oh, wow.- Oh, that is lovely.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35Look at that.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Well, it's Christian Dior.
0:29:36 > 0:29:381959.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40So, it's costume jewellery, it's not silver.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42- Yeah.- But it's still very, very beautiful.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46Nice, clear, iridescent, and green and blue stones.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48That is really, really pretty.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Have a look at it. See what you think.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Thank you. Beautifully set, isn't it?
0:29:52 > 0:29:54- It is absolutely gorgeous. - I like the colours.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56They just reflect in the light, don't they?
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Can you imagine when there's a bit of light on it?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00- Stunning.- The big question, Danny -
0:30:00 > 0:30:01how much did you pay for it?
0:30:01 > 0:30:02Not too much, I don't think.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04I actually paid £75.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Oh, that's good. How much do you think it will make?
0:30:07 > 0:30:10I'd like to think that it could make probably £10, £15 more.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- Up to £90.- Would you wear that, Jayne?- I would, yes.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- You would?- Definitely.- Excellent.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Let's find out about what our auctioneer has to say
0:30:18 > 0:30:20about Danny's Bonus Buy.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23It's Christian Dior.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Diamonds may be a girl's best friend,
0:30:25 > 0:30:28but there's no shortage of glitter about that, is there?
0:30:28 > 0:30:29- Isn't it stylish?- Yeah.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Isn't it glamorous? And I suppose
0:30:31 > 0:30:33it almost captures that decade of the '50s.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- Do you like it?- I do like it.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38I mean, I have nothing to wear with it, Charles, but you know!
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- The old story.- A great name.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44It's designer. The only issue is, if I turn it on its back,
0:30:44 > 0:30:46this pin is slightly short,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48so you can't actually close it.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50- OK.- And there is no safety pin.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53So, it would concern me in case a fine lady bought it
0:30:53 > 0:30:55and then lost it.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57So, it would just need some minor work being done to it.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00But on the exterior, what a look.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02What estimate have you put on that, Charles?
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Well, we've gone in, Eric, with a guide price of £30 to £50.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07It's easy to post.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10It will hopefully appeal to a worldwide market and who knows?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12A buyer in Paris might buy it.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Yeah. Well, Danny paid £75 for that.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I mean, obviously, it's way above estimate.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18I don't know about you,
0:31:18 > 0:31:20I think it's still got a very strong fighting chance.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- I think it's here to be sold, Eric. - Yeah.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25The wind will blow it and blow it in the right direction.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29OK. Lovely. Well, on to the Blue team, Joanne and Paul.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34- Yes.- Their first item is the magnifying glass.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36It's almost, Eric, something that every antiques expert
0:31:36 > 0:31:37needs in their pocket.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39And it's small enough.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41It was made in Birmingham in 1913,
0:31:41 > 0:31:43and to me, it is so flimsy,
0:31:43 > 0:31:47it is so fragile, that makes it quite rare.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- Estimate?- I think buyers will focus in on this.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53And it might make between £30 and £40.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55That's good, because they paid 18 for it
0:31:55 > 0:31:58and they thought it was going to be their most profitable item.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- Onto the next item.- Yes.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03OK, which is the French game of puff billiards.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- Yes.- To me, it looks like it's straight from the 1920s, 1930s.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09It's something that has almost got
0:32:09 > 0:32:11that, kind of, country house sort of appeal.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- Yes.- The disc of the main body is slightly warped.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- Yes.- It's a game I haven't come across in the saleroom before
0:32:19 > 0:32:23and I do hope it will be highly contested in the sale.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Good. What's your estimate there?
0:32:25 > 0:32:29We put a guide price on of between £50 and £80.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32They paid £80 for it, so, again, you know,
0:32:32 > 0:32:33they're in the game, aren't they?
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- Yes, they are in the game. - All right.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Well, the next item is going to be our white metal spoons.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40There they are. You've got five of them.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- It's a shame they're not silver. - Yeah.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Because there would be that intrinsic worth to go with them.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48But again, they're well made, they're well cast,
0:32:48 > 0:32:49they're interesting.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- Yeah.- And I hope an online buyer
0:32:51 > 0:32:56will see that value and our guide price is between £30 and £40.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57Well, they paid 34,
0:32:57 > 0:33:00so they're going to be quite happy with that estimate.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05But I think they may be in need of a Bonus Buy, so let's have a look.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Well, you had a steady spend, at £132,
0:33:09 > 0:33:12which meant that I could give Jonathan here £168
0:33:12 > 0:33:15to go out there and play with.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18So, Bonus Buy. Reveal all, Jonathan.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Well, you had a rather erratic purchasing style.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24So I thought we'd stick to something quite traditional this time.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27So, what I bought is, or are...
0:33:27 > 0:33:34This is a group of late 18th-century Chinese export porcelain
0:33:34 > 0:33:37decorated in a typical Neoclassical fashion of that period.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41I do like Chinese art and style, actually, so quite interesting.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Where's the other saucers?
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Well, OK, there's two saucers perhaps missing.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49But then it is...240 years old.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50I think it's really pretty.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- I quite like it. - How much did you pay, Jonathan?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56For the whole lot, I paid £120.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- Oh, OK.- And do you think you can make a profit?
0:33:59 > 0:34:00I think it can make a profit.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Well, let's find out if Charles agrees
0:34:02 > 0:34:05that there is a profit in Jonathan's Bonus Buy.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- Four of those.- Beautiful.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11- Three of those.- Yes.- OK.
0:34:11 > 0:34:12- Milk and sugar?- Yes.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16The crowning glory really is a nice little milk jug and cover.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18I love it, Eric. Look at the quality.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Look at the enamelling. Look at the Neoclassicism.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23It's so fine, it's so dandy.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24So, what's your estimate, Charles?
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Eric, we've been really quite punchy, cos we love it.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31We've put a guide price on between £50 and £80.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33OK, that's punchy by Derby standards -
0:34:33 > 0:34:36not necessarily by Jonathan Pratt's, cos he paid 120.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- You get paid a lot for your money, as well.- Well, there's a thought.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- OK, well, listen, onwards and upwards, as we said.- OK. Can't wait.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45At last it's time for the auction,
0:34:45 > 0:34:47and today, Charles has handed over
0:34:47 > 0:34:49the gavel to auctioneer Isabel Balmer.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51£100.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54So, Chris and Jayne, a moment of truth, yes?
0:34:54 > 0:34:55- Yes.- Are we bubbling, here?
0:34:55 > 0:34:59- Excited.- Yes.- So, I notice that you've brought along your mascot.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Yeah. This is Walter and he's a greyhound
0:35:01 > 0:35:03and he's come to bring us luck.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Excellent. Well, first stop is the laundry box.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08You paid £28 and it's coming up now.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Lot 50. We have the early
0:35:10 > 0:35:1420th century mahogany-stained plywood laundry box.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Brass fittings
0:35:16 > 0:35:18and I have lots of interest on commission.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22I can start straight in at £50.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24£50.
0:35:24 > 0:35:25Bid five, bid five.
0:35:25 > 0:35:2650, asking five.
0:35:26 > 0:35:2855. 60 here?
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- Yes.- Five, Madame? Go on.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33One more, she says. 65.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34I've got 70. And five?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Thank you anyway.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38At £70 with me on commission.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- 75.- Come on!
0:35:40 > 0:35:42With my bidder on commission selling...
0:35:42 > 0:35:43Sold.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Yes!
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Not bad going.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51So, you are off with a plus £42 there.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52Anyway, next one, oil lamp.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54- It's up.- Lot 51.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57And we have the railway oil lamp.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Circular form with a hinged cover.

0:42:08 > 0:42:13In fact, we had £177 worth of difference in the results.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Now, that was primarily because
0:42:16 > 0:42:19one of you was in the positive and one of you was in the negative.

0:42:27 > 0:42:29I mean, you predicted your magnifying glass

0:42:32 > 0:42:35it wasn't to be today, was it?
0:42:35 > 0:42:37There was no Ming and no kerching!

0:42:40 > 0:42:42- We had a great time.- Thank you. - Excellent.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44So, now to our Reds.
