0:00:02 > 0:00:03Today, Bargain Hunt is in Lincolnshire,
0:00:03 > 0:00:07famous for its military history. Lawrence of Arabia spent time here
0:00:07 > 0:00:10and the Dam Busters raids flew from here.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15So there's only one way to start off today's show. Take it away!
0:00:15 > 0:00:17BAND PLAYS "THE DAM BUSTER'S MARCH"
0:00:32 > 0:00:36What a rousing way to start the show!
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Today, our teams will be shopping at the Hemswell Antique Centres.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09These buildings were once the base for RAF Hemswell,
0:01:09 > 0:01:13but now house Europe's largest indoor antiques centre.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18With 400 dealers selling their goodies, there's plenty on offer.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22But will our teams be marching off with profits today?
0:01:22 > 0:01:26They have one hour to uncover three bargains with £300
0:01:26 > 0:01:29in their pocket, but let's have a look at what's coming up.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33The Reds push their expert to the limit...
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I leave you alone for two minutes!
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Is it crazy? - Please don't tell me you bought it.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40..the Blues have a nose for a bargain...
0:01:40 > 0:01:42SHE GASPS
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Oh, my God. I just love how old it smells.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48..the Reds get excited at the auction...
0:01:48 > 0:01:49THEY CHEER
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Going, going... - ..and so do the Blues.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56THEY CHEER
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Girl power, girl power!
0:01:58 > 0:02:00SHE LAUGHS
0:02:00 > 0:02:04But that's all for later. Let's meet today's teams.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09For the Reds, we have Jonathan and Paul and for the Blues,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11we have Natasha and Tamoor.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- Hello, everybody! ALL:- Hello!
0:02:15 > 0:02:19It's lovely to have you along. Now, Jonathan, tell me, what you do?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- I'm a brand consultant. - What's a brand consultant?
0:02:22 > 0:02:27We design identities for big corporations all around the world.
0:02:27 > 0:02:33And I hear you've got some odd pets, some furry friends,
0:02:33 > 0:02:34tell me about those.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- We keep alpacas...- Alpacas!
0:02:37 > 0:02:39And being a brand consultant, they all have brand names
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- so we've got Chino, Alpaca Chino! - Alpaca Chino!
0:02:43 > 0:02:47We've got Mac, Alpaca Mac, and Alapaca My Bags is the final one.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Oh, that is fabulous.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Now, over to Paul. Paul tell me what you do.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55I work with young business start-ups in the food and drink industry.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I've been in it for about 30 years, I'm now working with
0:02:57 > 0:03:00exciting and passionate young people, which is great.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05- So, Paul, I believe you'll do anything for charity?- I will.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08I'm in a band and we did a charity gig
0:03:08 > 0:03:11for a cancer charity and one of the guys in the audience
0:03:11 > 0:03:14had had an experience connected, like most people are,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17with something to do with cancer and said, "Look, if you guys play
0:03:17 > 0:03:19"the second half in your underpants
0:03:19 > 0:03:23"I will pay £1,500 into the charity." And he did, and we did.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24SHE LAUGHS
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Now, what are your tactics going to be?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I mean, you're both pretty high-powered guys,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32How're you going to get on as a pair?
0:03:32 > 0:03:33We're not telling you.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35SHE LAUGHS
0:03:35 > 0:03:38They're trying to keep their tactics a secret.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Well, you'll have to contend with the Blues so let's find out
0:03:42 > 0:03:44a little about them.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48It's husband-and-wife, Natasha and Tamoor.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Natasha, tell me, how did you guys meet?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55We were introduced by our parents so we sort of met over
0:03:55 > 0:04:01a tray of tea and the conversation just flowed and ever since then,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04it's just been great, and about a year later, we were married.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Did you fall in love immediately?
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Quite literally, actually,
0:04:09 > 0:04:15because the second time I met him, I actually fell on my face
0:04:15 > 0:04:19and the fact that he married me despite that, you know,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22kind of says it all, so, yes, through thick and thin.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23SHE LAUGHS
0:04:23 > 0:04:29Now, it says here that you also have, wait for it, boys, alpacas.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34I mean, what are the odds of both teams having alpacas?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36NATASHA LAUGHS
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Well, you two can talk alpacas later.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43But, Tamoor, I hear that you got friendly with a monkey at one point?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Yes, we went to Bali on our honeymoon and in the centre
0:04:47 > 0:04:51of Bali is this place called the Monkey Forest.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54It's just free-roam forest with monkeys.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58As I was walking around, a monkey decided to jump off the tree,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01climb onto my shoulders and just make itself at home on my head.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03So I was walking around for a good 10-15 minutes
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- with a monkey on my head.- Could you not get the monkey off?
0:05:06 > 0:05:07No, he was quite comfortable.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10I was just walking round and the tourists were just taking
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- pictures of me with the monkey. Interesting experience.- Yeah.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- So, you think you're going to be a great team?- Yeah.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- I'll do the hunting, he can do the bargaining.- All, right.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Well, I better give you some money, then.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24£300 for you, £300 for you,
0:05:24 > 0:05:29your experts await so off you go and very, very good luck.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32This is going to be quite a competition.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Our teams need a couple of very talented experts.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Praying for a pretty profit for the Red team,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41it's Christina Trevanion.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45And in a spin for the Blue team, it's Nick Hall!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Paul, what are we looking for?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Well, I think we're going to buy cheap, buy sensible and make money.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52What's on the shopping list for today?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Oh, I think it's some toys,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- some coins and some old military items for me, I think.- Right.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Interesting mixed bag.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02I'm interested in enamel signs, being a graphics person.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I was thinking maybe some silverware, jewellery,
0:06:05 > 0:06:06maybe Tiffany's if we're lucky.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09OK, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11BELL RINGS
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Let's go and get shopping, come on.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16With thousands of items on offer, hopefully our teams can find
0:06:16 > 0:06:18what they're looking for.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- OK. Oh.- So, let the battle commence.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24And we're on the clock so come on, let's get stuck in.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- But is there just too much choice? - Where do you begin?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30So much shiny, sparkly stuff.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34And it looks like the Reds have very expensive tastes.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- 1,800, is that in our budget? - No. Sadly, no.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I think, let's, let's knock a few digits off that, maybe.
0:06:42 > 0:06:48Guys, you're meant to be seeking out bargains, not blowing the budget.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50What about a fire plaque, guys?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53The Red team? Fire brigade? Fire?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55What is it? Off a train?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59No, it's a fire insurance mark so before we had the fire service,
0:06:59 > 0:07:03these days, you would put a sign on your building to say that you
0:07:03 > 0:07:06were insured so that if there was a fire, the fire service would
0:07:06 > 0:07:08come out but it obviously had to be instantly recognisable
0:07:08 > 0:07:10so you had one of these.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I think it's quite fun, it's marked up at £32.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- I quite like that.- Yeah.- The deal is, if you can get it for £20,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- I'd be a very happy rabbit. - 19 even better, I like the nines.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- Oh, OK, nines?- Well, yes, because if you get £20, you made a profit.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Let's have a go.- He's a natural, isn't he?- He's a professional.- Yeah.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- All right.- We'll see when I come back.- Can we watch?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Yes, please do.- Can this be a spectator sport? Oh, good.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Hello, we're very interested in this. It's our first buy.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- No, we're not, no, we're not.- Yeah. No, we're not.- Quite interested.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40We thought it was all right.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43We're interested in asking if you could do £19?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Now, unfortunately, I can only take £2 off,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49so £30 would be the very best on this item.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Well...- I'm a Yorkshireman, that's not good.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54SHE LAUGHS
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- What do you think? - Let's think about it.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57We'll think about it.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Would you like me to pop it behind the desk?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Yes, go on, please do, just give us a few minutes.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03That's one for the back burner.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Meanwhile, the Blues have spotted something.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09It says it's a writing box, I don't quite know what it's for but...
0:08:09 > 0:08:12A writing box? I think it's for stationery, I mean,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15you've got some lids missing and there should be some inkwells
0:08:15 > 0:08:19in here, there should be little covers on there and the bigger issue
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- is it's £120.- Yeah!
0:08:21 > 0:08:25If it was complete, then I would genuinely consider that,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27but I didn't realise there was also quite a lot missing.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I think, in the current market,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32and the current condition of this, you're not going to make a profit.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34You would struggle to get your money back.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36It's a nice thing, but it's not probably
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- what's going to make a profit for us.- OK.- Yeah.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41And profit is what it's all about.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Move on, Blues! But it looks like the Reds are still
0:08:45 > 0:08:47failing to grasp the game.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51I love him, but he's a fortune. He is.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Jonathan? - Why have I got such expensive taste?
0:08:54 > 0:08:59- Well, how much is he?- £1,000. - Jonathan! No. Just no.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- Please, look at things in our price range.- We can afford!
0:09:01 > 0:09:02What do we think?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- This is a bit strange, it's a bit League Of Gentlemen in here.- Hey!
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- That's cool! The nervous system. - Oh, yeah!- I like that.- Yeah?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- That's fantastic.- I really like it. - Apart from the fact that he looks...
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- £120 worth. - Yeah, but that, I mean,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17the market at the moment wants this kind of thing.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I know it's sounds really bizarre, but it does want the quirky,
0:09:19 > 0:09:24the unusual, this kind of medical anatomy subject is really
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- quite interesting.- I really like that.- That's in good nick.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- £120.- What do you think? Do you like it enough?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Well, I think I mean, there's so much here. Look, I, like you,
0:09:31 > 0:09:35like love typography and I love mid-century design
0:09:35 > 0:09:38and look at all those posters, I mean, that's fantastic.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40That train departures,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Doncaster, 20th of June - 5th September 1964, do you like it?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46From a piece of graphic design point of view,
0:09:46 > 0:09:50I have to say not really. I just feel it's got any interest in it.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Tell it like it is, Jonathan.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56So that's a no buy and it seems Natasha has her nose in a book.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Oh, my God. I just love how old it smells.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03You don't understand. Smell it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Smell it.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07It smells like a book.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09No, honestly, you have no idea.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14That's one way to sniff out a bargain. Let's leave them to it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Meanwhile, the Reds have found another timetable,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19but will it appeal to Jonathan?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23London and North Eastern Railway, Newcastle, Edinburgh, er...
0:10:23 > 0:10:26just before the outbreak of war, 1939. "A lovely survivor."
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I like that. I love that.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- That's suddenly made it a bit more interesting, hasn't it? - Yeah, I like that.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- I like that.- I like that date on that.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40- Just pre-war, survivor. - It's marked up at £69.- £69.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Well, if we could get it at a reasonable price,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- I'd much prefer that one to the Doncaster.- Do you?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Just because of the date.- 20 minutes in, I think...
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- We need to make a decision.- I think we should go for something and I like that.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I think it's a great thing. Definitely one to go and ask about.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Shall we go and ask Tim again?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Yes, go and get Tim.- All right. Super. Let's go.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Whilst they investigate the price, the Blues are getting cultured.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Now, there's an interesting picture. I like the look of that.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08"The New Age Domestic Agency and Wise Women's Bureau."
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Probably 1920s, '30s.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Got a lovely Art Deco feel to it
0:11:12 > 0:11:15and I think this is all hand-painted.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Signed as well and I guess that's 1934, so it is,
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- it's absolutely bang on Art Deco. - What is the speckling on it though?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Is that...?- These are little holes.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- I think it's been attached to a bit of wood that's had woodworm. - Woodworm.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- It gives it even more character, do you know what I mean?- It does, yeah.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- It's aged naturally, yeah.- It's not affected the design that much.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Yeah. I'll tell you what else is quite clever. Look.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41You see these strings coming from these girls' hands here?
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- They're like all these characters are puppets.- Oh, yeah.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Well, if you two take that,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- I would suggest you buy it just as cheap as you can.- OK.- Yeah?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- We'll see what we can do, yeah. - Shall we?- I'll carry on looking.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- Let me know how you get on.- OK. - Let's do this. Thank you.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Haggle hard. What have you got to do?- Haggle hard.- Well done.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04The picture is priced at £60,
0:12:04 > 0:12:09so while the Blues go off to haggle hard, the Reds are also bargaining.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- £60 and you've got a deal. - We'll shake your hand.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I couldn't, I'm afraid. It's only for 10%, so it's £7...
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- So it's £62.- Yes.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20£62.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Let's just think about it.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28We've got two or three now that we've got our eye on, so let's
0:12:28 > 0:12:31walk the rest of the building and then we can buy quickly at the end.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34That's an interesting strategy,
0:12:34 > 0:12:38but 25 minutes in and neither team has made a purchase.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40How are the Blues getting on?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42It's beautiful, but there is a bit of woodworm.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47- The best one I can do that one for is 54.- Can we do 52 or 50?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I'm really sorry, 54 is the very best I can do for you.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- I think we should go and speak to Nic, see what he thinks.- Yeah.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- OK, well, we're going to go and have a word.- OK, no problem.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Thanks for your help. - All right. Thank you.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00It's not the price they wanted, so back to consult with Nic,
0:13:00 > 0:13:06but time is marching on. Are the Reds any closer to their first buy?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- Right, anything else catches your eye?- Whoa, whoa, whoa. That vase.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- That's quite a contemporary looking piece.- Which vase?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Sorry, I'm being really thick. - Yeah, the green one.- Oh, this one.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19The one that you can't really miss, that's sitting...
0:13:19 > 0:13:21The one that looks fantastic for £18.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- Who's going to be brave enough to get it out?- I will take it out.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Is he delicate with things? Oooh! Well done.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Large medina, swirl neck vase.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Is there anything that identifies it or makes it...?- No.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37For medina, normally I would expect to see a ground-out
0:13:37 > 0:13:39pontil mark on the base, where you'll see a little dish
0:13:39 > 0:13:41in the glass there, you'll see it ground,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- and that's completely flat.- Right.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Which doesn't fill me with a huge amount of confidence,
0:13:46 > 0:13:51however, having said that, I think it's a really very beautiful thing.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53I quite like it.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58I could see that sitting on a window ledge on a stairs and landing.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I can see that in virtually any environment as well.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03We are finding at the moment that ceramics and glass, low-value
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- ceramics and glass are really not selling particularly well.- Really?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10But if it's cheap enough and it catches somebody's eye,
0:14:10 > 0:14:11which it will, then it will sell.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- So it's marked up as £18.- Yep.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- What would you be happy with, Christina, for that?- Ten or £15.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- Let's go and find Tim. - Let's go and find Tim,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- and I think, guys...- See if he's got some good news for us.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- ..A, it's crunch time and B, it's decision time.- OK.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28We've had over half our time, there's no huge amounts of pressure,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30but I would like us to buy at least one thing.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- That would be quite handy. - Fair enough.- All right? Let's go. - Let's go find Tim.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36That's right, Christina, crack the whip.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41With 30 minutes on the clock, both teams need to start buying.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43While they carry on, I'm leaving the centre to hear
0:14:43 > 0:14:47about an object with an extraordinary local story.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58During the Second World War, the bulk of bombing raids
0:14:58 > 0:15:03over Germany took off from Lincolnshire airbases like Hemswell.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07But when the aircraft returned, crews faced another danger -
0:15:07 > 0:15:11landing in the notorious fog that plagued this region.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I'm meeting John Ward,
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Squadron Association President of RAF Fiskerton, to find out
0:15:19 > 0:15:22about the ingenious system that helped them.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26It was called Operation FIDO.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29John, tell me what is this and what did it do?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Well, this rusty old piece of pipe was a life saver.
0:15:32 > 0:15:38Birmingham University developed a system called FIDO and it was
0:15:38 > 0:15:42a simple plan whereby you pumped fuel down a pipe
0:15:42 > 0:15:44which ran down the side of runways,
0:15:44 > 0:15:48such as the piece of concrete we see behind us here.
0:15:48 > 0:15:54This was then lit and the fire and the heat then evaporated the fog
0:15:54 > 0:15:59and created a tunnel for the air crew not only to be visible
0:15:59 > 0:16:01for miles away when they came over the coast,
0:16:01 > 0:16:05but also for them to be able to land safely on the ground.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08It was a beacon to them and a beacon that saved lives.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12This actual piece of metal came from RAF Fiskerton,
0:16:12 > 0:16:16which was the first base in Lincolnshire to use the system.
0:16:16 > 0:16:22It sounds very scary, but it was an ingenious way of getting the crews
0:16:22 > 0:16:26back down on the ground. How much fuel would've been used?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Well, believe it or not, 100,000 gallons per hour
0:16:30 > 0:16:33would be pumped down here when it was on full burn.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37We know that it saved lives, but how many lives did it save?
0:16:37 > 0:16:412,500 aircraft landed by FIDO during the war.
0:16:41 > 0:16:4511,000 lives were saved. That's a tremendous amount,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47so it was worth every penny of that fuel
0:16:47 > 0:16:51that was going down these pipes during the war.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55What a fascinating story this humble piece of pipe has to tell,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58but now it's time to get back to our teams.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07We're halfway through and neither team has bought anything yet.
0:17:07 > 0:17:13The Blues want that 1930s picture, but not at the price offered.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15The best she could do was 54.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19£54, that's not bad, it's a bit of a drop down. £54.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Look, while you've been away,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I've been browsing around on the same dealer's stand
0:17:24 > 0:17:26and I found this as well.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Now, what I was thinking is if they were a little tight on
0:17:29 > 0:17:33negotiating that down, if you put it to them to maybe put in an offer
0:17:33 > 0:17:37for two items, you might get more of a generous discount.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- I think it's a really cool thing. Do you like it?- What is it?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Well, it's a casket.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46Obviously it's a box, a casket, but lots of interesting detailing on it.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49You've got obviously this sort of medieval Renaissance
0:17:49 > 0:17:52carved panelling, but then this whole area here,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55these little sort of pyramidical shapes there that are reminiscent
0:17:55 > 0:18:00- of that American tramp art, if you know what that is at all.- No.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Well, it was sort of quite popular in the late 1930s,
0:18:03 > 0:18:0820th century, made out of just odds and ends of bits of wood that
0:18:08 > 0:18:11were left and just bolted together to make these sort of shapes.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14It's not from America, but it's got that look about it,
0:18:14 > 0:18:18that shape, that design which is appealing in the modern market.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23All hand-carved and then lacquered as well. Probably late 19th century.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- It's definitely got character. - Definitely, yeah.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- It's got all of that, hasn't it?- How much is this?- They're asking £70.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33So if you're up for it, shall we go and see if we can renegotiate
0:18:33 > 0:18:36a better deal, two items from the same dealer?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I think it's a good plan.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- Yeah.- More chance of a profit. - Let's do it.- Let's go and find her.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44That's a good plan.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Meanwhile, the Reds have got distracted on their way
0:18:46 > 0:18:51- to find the price for the vase. - Hey, here's your kind of thing.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52I really like these.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I could see you having these in the kitchen
0:18:55 > 0:18:59and using them to tuck in the bits of paper and...
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- Notelets.- Yeah.- Do you know?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I've never even thought of that. That is a fantastic idea,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06to have like a notepad in your kitchen, tuck recipes in.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09I think graphically they're quite interesting and people have
0:19:09 > 0:19:13got memories of newspaper sales on the streets saying, "Echo!"
0:19:13 > 0:19:18- Yeah, "Get your daily paper today!" - Evening Standard!- Evening Standard!
0:19:18 > 0:19:22That famous Morecambe and Wise, Morny Stannit. How much are they?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Are they the same branding as they are today?
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- Well, I don't think the London Daily News exists, does it?- No.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29I love that image of Big Ben, it's fabulous.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- It's got the old-fashioned London phone number on the bottom.- Yes.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- We're liking that. 125.- Oh!
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- I think that's because that newspaper is out of print.- Oh, dear.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43These guys seem to be drawn to big-ticket items.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46They'll need to improve on that to get a profit.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Meanwhile, with almost 40 minutes gone, can the Blues do a deal?
0:19:50 > 0:19:54They've offered £100 for the two items.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Rachel, have you got some good news for us?- I certainly have, yeah.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59£100 for the both of them is absolutely fine.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03For the two. So the final say is yours.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Yeah, I think we should go for it. - Yeah, I think so.- Let's do this.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09They've done it! 38 minutes on the clock
0:20:09 > 0:20:13and they now have two items at £50 each,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15but can the Reds catch up?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18That was marked up as £18, so what, potentially,
0:20:18 > 0:20:20could be your best on that, Tim?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- Because I know you're a generous man.- He's going to say £16.20.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- Yes, the amount is up to £16.- £16.
0:20:27 > 0:20:33- Oh, you've rounded it down 20p, thanks, Tim.- And then the newsstand.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38- Yes, so that was marked up at £125, Tim.- Let's have a look
0:20:38 > 0:20:41what it's got on the ticket.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- That is just the 10%, so it is £13.- OK.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Is there any chance you could phone the dealer about that?- Absolutely.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- I can do.- Could you phone him and offer him £90 for it, please?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53£90, I'll put it forward to him.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56That would be marvellous and tell him we'd adore him forever.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Still no buys. This is getting tense.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02While they find out the price of the newspaper stand,
0:21:02 > 0:21:05the Blues are scouring the centre.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I think it's a little out of our price range.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12It's just a beautiful book.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17- But can Tim secure the new stand at £90 for the Reds?- Go on, Tim.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- Bye. Bye.- Is that a result? - It is, yes. £90.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Oh, really? Fantastic. Wow! - Well done, my friend.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Brilliant. Right. So, decision time. - That's in the bag.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31£90 on the newspaper board, OK?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- So are we going to go for the railway poster?- 62.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38We all like that because of the date and the detail and the provenance.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41152 and then how much was on this?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- That was the 18.- You round it down to 16?- I did, yes.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- So we've got just over ten minutes left.- Let's have a quick whizz round, shall we?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- I think we should and then we can decide on...- We know where we are.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56- OK. You go and have a whizz round, I'll work on Tim. - THEY LAUGH
0:21:56 > 0:21:58What a relief!
0:21:58 > 0:22:01They've finally bought two items,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03but can they buy their third item in time?
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Meanwhile, it looks like the Blues have spotted something
0:22:07 > 0:22:12- on their wish list.- Nic, I've just seen something in this cupboard.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17- You've found something?- Yeah, found some scales.- They're nice.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Georgian sovereign scales is what they are.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23For travelling tradesmen in the 18th century for weighing sovereigns,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26half sovereigns, to make sure no-one clipped
0:22:26 > 0:22:29a bit of gold off and they were being diddled, basically.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Are they expensive? - They're on for £42.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34That doesn't sound too expensive, really. Let's have a look.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Can I take the top bit? - Of course.- Right.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41So we've got... Well, we've got a maker's name on there.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45We've got Harrison, we've got the fact that that's the sovereign there
0:22:45 > 0:22:47and the half sovereign there.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Everything that you should find on it seems to be there.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Is the case intact? - It's got the case with it.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- It should just pull apart into two sections.- Ah!- There we go.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58So it should just then pop in there like that,
0:22:58 > 0:23:02pop the lid back on and then, of course, you pop it in your pocket
0:23:02 > 0:23:05for a travelling tradesmen of the 18th century.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I like that and look, there's a little detail as well
0:23:08 > 0:23:09with the little flowers.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- It's on both sides, yeah. - A bit more decorative, isn't it?
0:23:12 > 0:23:16So, it sounds like you both like it. I don't mind the price, £42.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19The only thing I have noticed is it says,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22"Early 20th century not Georgian."
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Now, maybe the dealer knows something that we don't
0:23:25 > 0:23:29that it's an early 20th-century copy of a Georgian one,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31but it's a nice object.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I think we should see if we can haggle it down a bit.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37See what Rachel can do and just save as many pennies as you can.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- I will do.- Go on, good luck.- OK. - It's all down to Tamoor.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Meanwhile, the Reds are hunting for that final item
0:23:44 > 0:23:48and it appears Christina shouldn't have left them alone!
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- I leave you alone for two minutes! - Is it crazy?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Please don't tell me you've bought it?- No, no. We're asking your opinion.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59- Best price they've come up with is £38.- 38?- 38.- From 42?
0:23:59 > 0:24:00That wasn't haggling.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- It's his idea.- It's not my idea.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Do you think it's going to sell, Tam?- We've only got five
0:24:06 > 0:24:08or six minutes left, anyway. I think it'll sell.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Oh, dear. Now both teams are up against it
0:24:11 > 0:24:13with just six minutes to go
0:24:13 > 0:24:17and it looks like the Reds have returned to the fire plaque.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19You couldn't get more different, really.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22You've got a fire mark and a vase. Fire mark and a vase.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- What was our best on that?- This is repro.- Yeah, in a general sale...
0:24:25 > 0:24:27In a general sale, that vase, I like that vase.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Final decision, guys. What are you saying?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- I think we should just go for it. - Let's do it.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- £38. That's it. Third and final thing bought.- Yeah.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- Five minutes left, job done. - We did it.- Well done, guys.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- Don't leave me out.- Well done.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44The Blues have done it.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Three items with just minutes to spare
0:24:47 > 0:24:50and the Reds are right up to the wire,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- but have they come to a decision?- Vase.- Yes?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Yeah, vase.- Decision made. - I think so, yeah.- Amazing!
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- So we're done, team.- Well done. - Brilliant.- Thank you.- Thank you so much, Tim.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Thank you for your patience.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran down the clock.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Time's up, teams.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Gosh, guys, you took a whole hour as well. Well done. I like it.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Will the enamel newspaper stand be good news at the auction?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23It set them back £90.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Can the railway timetable deliver a timely profit?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30It costs £62.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35And will someone give the modern baluster-shaped vase a home?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38It costs just £16.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Boys, did you have a good time? - Fantastic time.- Yeah.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44You played it pretty cool.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45What's your favourite item?
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- Favourite item is probably the enamel sign.- Definitely.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Make the most money - probably the vase.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Right. OK. What about you, John?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I love the enamel sign.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59And I do think Paul's ridiculous vase is probably going to be
0:25:59 > 0:26:01the thing that makes the most money.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Boys, you've spent £168.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09So can I have the leftover lolly of £132?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12You can. There's the 130. And the £2.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Oh, excellent.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15- Now, Christina.- Thank you, my love.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18What are you going to do with all that dosh?
0:26:18 > 0:26:21I don't know. I'm not used to having quite so much.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Well, we certainly did look at a lot of things.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26So I think I'll keep going at look at some more things.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29While Christina goes off in her quest,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37Will the unique 1930s feminist watercolour attract the bidders?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39It was £50.
0:26:39 > 0:26:45Can the unusual card casket create a stir? It also cost £50.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49And can they weigh in with a profit on the Georgian-style
0:26:49 > 0:26:51sovereign scales and case?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53They were £38.
0:26:53 > 0:26:59Well, Natasha, Tamoor, it took you a wee while to get started,
0:26:59 > 0:27:00I have to say.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03But once you got started, oh, you were some kids.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Now, tell me, what's your favourite item, Natasha?
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Mine's the painting.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11It's really unique. It's got a bit of an Art Deco vibe going on.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Is it going to make you the biggest profit?- We hope so.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17I think the box will make us the biggest profit.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- My favourite item is the painting. - Oh, right.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- So you're both interested in the same kind of art?- Hm.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25But I think the box might make the biggest profit for us.
0:27:25 > 0:27:31You spent £138. Could I have £162, please?
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- There you go.- Now, Nick...- Hm.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Are you going to be able to buy something that they both like?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Whether they like it or not, doesn't matter too much,
0:27:39 > 0:27:41as long as it makes a profit.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- Profit, profit, profit. - That's the drive.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48And while Nick goes off to look for his profit,
0:27:48 > 0:27:50we're going to go to the auction.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Today, we're at Sheffield Auction Galleries
0:28:01 > 0:28:05with auctioneer, Robert Lee. Robert, it's lovely to be here.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06Nice to meet you, too.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Well, first our Red Team, Jonathan and Paul.
0:28:10 > 0:28:16Their first item was this enamelled sign for the London Daily News.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17Do you like it, Robert?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19It's nice. It's advertising.
0:28:19 > 0:28:25This newspaper was only produced for around about seven months in 1987.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27It was the baby of Robert Maxwell.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Will that make it a little bit rarer?- Definitely.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34I set a low estimate, 20-30. It was a come-and-get-me estimate.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Let's hope it does a lot better than that,
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- because they did pay £90 for it. - Ah.- Paid quite a lot.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45Will their second item do any better? It's the railway timetable.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49It's 1939. Will the date make a difference in the price?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51You're talking about three or four months
0:28:51 > 0:28:52before the actual war started.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54There won't be many of these kicking around.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56- The condition will go against it, unfortunately.- Yes.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57It HAS been in the war!
0:28:57 > 0:29:02- It has been in the war!- Because of condition, we've just set £10-20.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Let's hope that's a come-and-buy-me as well,
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- because they paid £62 for it. - Crikey.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08But our third item,
0:29:08 > 0:29:12this beautiful turquoise vase - tell me what you think of that.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15It's quite an attractive piece, but there's not much age to it,
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- in my view. - No, it's fairly modern.- Yeah.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- I've said, conservatively, £10-20.- 10-20.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Well, they paid £16, so there's a chance there.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27We're in the middle, aren't we? Well, THEY'RE in the middle.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28They're in the middle.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32Well, looking at all three items, it looks like they may need
0:29:32 > 0:29:35their bonus buy, so we're going to go and have a look at it.
0:29:37 > 0:29:42Jonathan, Paul, you left Christina £132.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44What did you spend the money on?
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Well, Anita, we looked at quite a few different things on our shop,
0:29:48 > 0:29:51and there was one thing that we kind of kept coming back to.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- Oh, my!- You really liked this, didn't you?- Happy birthday!
0:29:56 > 0:30:00- Well, that's great. - We looked at it in the shop.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03It's a reproduction firemark, so not an original one,
0:30:03 > 0:30:05which would obviously be a 19th century one,
0:30:05 > 0:30:07so a 20th century firemark,
0:30:07 > 0:30:10so you would have displayed this on your property to say that you
0:30:10 > 0:30:13had paid your dues, so in the event of a fire,
0:30:13 > 0:30:16the fire service would come and put your flames out.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17How much?
0:30:17 > 0:30:19- Well, I paid £30 for it.- OK.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22I would hope, at auction, you'd be looking at £30-£50,
0:30:22 > 0:30:24even as a decorative thing.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26I think it's a nice displayable piece.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28- Yeah, I'd pay that for it. - Yeah.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Mind you, given what we've paid for everything else!
0:30:31 > 0:30:32We might need this.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33LAUGHTER
0:30:33 > 0:30:36You don't need to make up your mind just now,
0:30:36 > 0:30:39you wait until your first three items have been sold,
0:30:39 > 0:30:40but, in the meantime,
0:30:40 > 0:30:43let's go and see what the auctioneer thinks
0:30:43 > 0:30:45about Christina's fire plaque.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Christina's bonus buy.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Tell me what do you think of that.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53It's the sort of thing that usually does well through an auction,
0:30:53 > 0:30:56anything with names on like this from the early 20th century.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58I think it should do fairly well.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00What's your estimate on it, Robert?
0:31:00 > 0:31:02I'd have thought £30-£50.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Yeah? Well, Christina only paid £30,
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- so there is hope there.- Yeah.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Now, over to the Blues, Natasha and Tamoor,
0:31:10 > 0:31:14and their first item was this watercolour.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I think this is a terrific thing.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18What do you think?
0:31:18 > 0:31:19It's really nice, isn't it?
0:31:19 > 0:31:20Period Art Deco piece.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Don't know much about what this was all about,
0:31:23 > 0:31:25but depicts the era, really nicely, doesn't it?
0:31:25 > 0:31:27What's your estimate?
0:31:27 > 0:31:30We've got a few faults down there with worms and that,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32so maybe £15-£30.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34They've paid £50 for it,
0:31:34 > 0:31:36so they might have got carried away a wee bit.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Yeah. It's a unique sort of thing, though, it may get up to 50.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41I've never seen one before, so you never know your luck.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42That's right.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46Now, their second item was this casket, here.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51Elaborately decorated, tramp art, you might call it.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52Do YOU like it?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55It's certainly got like a Jacobean sort of look to it, hasn't it?
0:31:55 > 0:31:59But it's probably, what, 100, 120 years old? Something like that.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01It's not my cup of tea,
0:32:01 > 0:32:03but there's a lot of work gone into it.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05I was thinking £20-£40.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Well, they paid £50,
0:32:06 > 0:32:11so we're not too far away on that one.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16Their third item was the little sovereign and half sovereign scales.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Now, people are buying sovereigns.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Will they like that little machine?
0:32:21 > 0:32:22I like it.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25The condition of it is in tiptop order, isn't it?
0:32:25 > 0:32:29And you've got the added beauty of it having its case as well.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30What's your estimate?
0:32:30 > 0:32:32£20-£40, I thought.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33£20-£40.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Well, they've paid £38,
0:32:35 > 0:32:37so again, we're not too bad,
0:32:37 > 0:32:39we're in the ballpark.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43So they may or may not need their bonus buy.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46But we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:32:47 > 0:32:53Natasha, Tamoor, you left Nick £162.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Nick, what did you buy?
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Well, we went on a voyage of discovery, really, didn't we?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00So I've gone back in time...
0:33:01 > 0:33:02GASPS
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- Now, what do you think about this? Do you like?- What is it?
0:33:04 > 0:33:05LAUGHTER
0:33:05 > 0:33:07This is a Roman oil lamp.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- It's, I think, getting on for nearly 2,000 years old.- Wow!
0:33:10 > 0:33:12If nothing else, it's bound to be the oldest thing
0:33:12 > 0:33:13in the auction today.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14And I particularly like the fact
0:33:14 > 0:33:17that it's got this original little cradle with it as well,
0:33:17 > 0:33:18which you don't see that often.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21I gave £58 for it. Not bad?
0:33:22 > 0:33:24No, I think that's... It's...
0:33:24 > 0:33:25- Are you sure? - LAUGHTER
0:33:25 > 0:33:26Not convinced you are.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29I'm just trying to figure out, like, how does it work? What's...?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Well, it's an oil lamp, so it would have had oil in there,
0:33:31 > 0:33:33and a little taper in there which would have lit,
0:33:33 > 0:33:35and it would have lit one of their chambers in the evening.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37- What do you think?- I like it.- Yeah.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38I think the important question is
0:33:38 > 0:33:40how much do you think it's going to make?
0:33:40 > 0:33:44I would hope it would make pushing on towards three figures.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45- Really?- Really?
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Should do, hopefully.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47If the right people are watching online.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Now, you don't need to make up your mind just now.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54You wait until your first three items have been sold.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55But in the meantime,
0:33:55 > 0:34:00let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Nick's Roman lamp.
0:34:01 > 0:34:06Now, Nick bought this little stoneware lamp.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Will your buyers like this type of item?
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Well, I hope so.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Personally, I'm not too sure of the age of them.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Are they Roman? We've put "Roman-style".
0:34:15 > 0:34:16They're certainly early pieces.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18I thought maybe £20-£30.
0:34:18 > 0:34:19£20-£30.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Well, he paid £58,
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- so he certainly thinks that they are period.- Uh-huh.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Will you be our auctioneer?
0:34:26 > 0:34:28I am.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29Can't wait!
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Bid now at 110, 120, sir.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32- Going, going... - BANG
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Well, guys, here we are.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35At the auction.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37It's packed!
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Have you guys been to an auction before?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- No.- No.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- How do you feel?- I think we're going to crash and burn.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45All right!
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- Is that maybe a wee bit nervous? - Yes, we are a bit, yeah.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Nothing like a bit of positive thinking.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51We're quite competitive, aren't we?
0:34:51 > 0:34:56Your first item coming up is that wonderful newspaper sign.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59You paid £90 for it, so good luck.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00Thank you.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04120. Mid to late 20th century
0:35:04 > 0:35:05enamel news headlines stand.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Breaking news is we've got £30 bid

0:35:23 > 0:35:25Some work to do now.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Oh, some work to do there.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Oh, and I loved that sign.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33Never mind, boys, we have your railway timetable coming up next.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37- 1939.- So let's keep our fingers crossed, now, and it's coming up.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39- Here it goes.- Good luck!
0:35:39 > 0:35:411st May to 2nd July 1939.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42£20 for it.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43Tenner for him.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Ten bid. 12, we're after.

0:36:08 > 0:36:10A wee bit disappointing. PAUL SOBS
0:36:10 > 0:36:11A wee bit.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Now, boys, that brings you to -£79.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Oh, that's good.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16LAUGHTER
0:36:16 > 0:36:20But...you still have another item to go.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Glass vase. Nice piece, that.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23Kick us off at a tenner, for it,
0:36:23 > 0:36:24please?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26£10 to get me started. At ten.

0:36:43 > 0:36:4440, we're after.
0:36:44 > 0:36:45You're out, netters.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46It's in the room.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Lady standing, at £35
0:36:47 > 0:36:48Could be 40, now.
0:36:48 > 0:36:49It's with the lady, top left,
0:36:49 > 0:36:51at 35, going, going...
0:36:51 > 0:36:52BANG
0:36:52 > 0:36:54£35, boys.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- Pleased with that.- Well done.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57Well done!
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Boys, that was absolutely magnificent.
0:37:00 > 0:37:01LAUGHTER
0:37:01 > 0:37:06That takes your overall score to -£60.
0:37:08 > 0:37:09It's quite a lot, but it's not a disaster.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11If you say it quickly...
0:37:11 > 0:37:16You've got to decide whether you want to take Christina's bonus buy.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18She paid £30 for it.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19What do you think?
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- I'd go for it, I like it anyway. - Definitely.- Let's do it.- Oh, Lord.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- Really?- We've decided.- We trust you. - We trust you implicitly.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28OK, we're going to go with the bonus buy.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30- Very good luck to you. - Thank you.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Lot 130.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32It's an early 20th-century
0:37:32 > 0:37:33cast-iron fire plaque.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Must start the bidding at £18.
0:37:36 > 0:37:3720, we're after. £20.
0:37:37 > 0:37:3822. 25.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40- Yes!- 28.
0:37:40 > 0:37:4128 on the front left.
