0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today we're in Derbyshire, where they have the unusual tradition
0:00:04 > 0:00:08of decorating old wells with flowers, called well dressing.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12And it's supposed to bring the villagers good luck.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16I just wonder if it will work for Bargain Hunt because all I need is a bunch of flowers...
0:00:18 > 0:00:23..and some willing well dressers from Curzon School in Quarndon.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Blooming marvellous!
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Well, let's see if our well-dressed well
0:00:31 > 0:00:33will bring plenty of luck to both our teams today.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36So without any further ado...
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- ALL:- Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Our fair is in the grounds of Kedleston Hall.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Built in the 18th century,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09it was designed to house beautiful treasures.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Our red and blue teams hope to uncover a few treasures of their own.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Armed with £300 each,
0:01:16 > 0:01:20they have to find three items in 60 minutes that hopefully are going
0:01:20 > 0:01:23to return them a profit when sold at auction.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Let's take a glimpse of what's coming up.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29It's a red card warning for the Reds...
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Just got to be a bit careful. It seems like you're taking over here, Adam.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36And it's all about the blue for the Blues.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39I always like the blue and white mixture.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41And at auction for the Reds, it gets exciting.
0:01:41 > 0:01:4445, the bid seated, looking for 50.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46And the Blues go international.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48We're in Russia. 60. Five.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52But all that is coming up later,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55so let's meet today's married couple teams.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57For the Reds, we've got Adam and Emma,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00and for the Blues we've got Justin and Jane, so hello.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05- ALL:- Hello.- So tell me, Emma, what do you do for a living?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- I'm a commercial property solicitor. - It sounds very heavy going, that.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Is it?- Well, it is.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15It's quite a stressful job but I basically buy and sell
0:02:15 > 0:02:18commercial property for clients, negotiate leases, things like that.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23- A shrewd negotiator, a smooth operator, would you say? - Smooth operator, I think.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I like to make sure the other party feels that they're getting a good deal, I suppose.
0:02:26 > 0:02:32Well, that's very nice to know, but I believe you tread the boards.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Yes. I'm...we're part of a musical theatre society.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38We have done quite a lot of productions together.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41We did Sister Act last year, where I was an Irish nun
0:02:41 > 0:02:44and this year we're doing 9 To 5, which we're both in.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- But I believe you've played Bill Sykes.- I did, in Oliver, yes.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50It was quite an experience, that one.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54But I believe you had a bit of a mishap on that one occasion.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56There was a slight mishap, yes.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00We had... We had a little Staffordshire bull terrier, kind of,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04with a little black eye, Bullseye, and he came out from a different way...
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- On the stage.- On the stage,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10and he kind of missed his step and fell into the orchestra pit.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- He broke a French horn.- Right, but he didn't break a leg, anything like that?
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- No. Thank goodness.- Adam, there's more to you than meets the eye,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20insofar as you are a prison officer.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I am, that is my day job. I'm a prison officer, yes.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25But you do a little bit more than that, don't you?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Insofar as from a physical point of view...
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I do, yes, I do martial arts.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I've been doing martial arts since the age of five,
0:03:32 > 0:03:36just doing different styles and yes, I really enjoy it.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39You've obviously had a bit of time to think about your strategy.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41How are you going to approach the day?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I think just keep an open mind, see what's out there
0:03:43 > 0:03:46and if we come across something that we like, we discuss it.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Something quirky.- Yeah, something quirky. You're quirky.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- OK, quirky's good.- Quirky is good!
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Now, turning my attention to the Blue team, Jane,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57you run a business together, I believe.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Yeah, we do. We run a narrow boat business.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02We've got four hire boats.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04They're all luxury 5-star narrow boats that we let out
0:04:04 > 0:04:07for holiday rental and we also build bespoke boats,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09so people come with their specifications
0:04:09 > 0:04:12and we'll build exactly your dream boat, whatever you want.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15You've got another business idea, an app I've been reading about.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Yeah, it's kind of a hobby, really, isn't it?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Yeah.- We started waterfall walks.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24We've actually got lots of beautiful waterfalls right across the UK,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27really unknown, there's hardly any information out there,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29I've really had to research and find out all the different places
0:04:29 > 0:04:33that have got waterfalls and then we're going to put an app together and a website
0:04:33 > 0:04:35so everybody can just enjoy all these beautiful waterfalls.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40And let's face it, no shortage of beautiful waterfalls here in beautiful Derbyshire.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Indeed, yeah.- Justin,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45you're a multitasker, aren't you? Multi-skiller?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Because I know for a fact that you have gardening skills on a big scale.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Well, my previous career before we had our own business was a garden designer, yeah,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55so I've done quite a lot of work on the garden design front.
0:04:55 > 0:05:01So what is it about a gardener that has him taking up juggling
0:05:01 > 0:05:03as a pastime?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Well, it was a Christmas present, I had some juggling balls
0:05:06 > 0:05:09and I tasked myself over the Christmas period to start juggling
0:05:09 > 0:05:11and by the end of the two weeks I was just about there.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Yeah.- To be frank with you, I'm more interested, actually,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15in your skill with antiques.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Where do you think you're going to fare there?- I think we're just going to enjoy the day.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Definitely.- I think we're just going to spend, aren't we?
0:05:21 > 0:05:25We're going to spend quite a lot of money and we're looking for really beautiful items, you know,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27because we do narrow boats and we like them to be beautiful,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30good quality, and that's what we're going to bring to the show.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- Craftsmanship.- We want beautiful things, good quality things. That's what we're looking for.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Well, you're going to need some money to do this business, yes?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- £300 for you.- Thank you.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40£300 for the Reds.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45- Thank you.- And I bid you farewell and ask you to go off and find your experts. ALL:- Thank you.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49So, a juggler versus martial arts.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52This competition could get very interesting.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Now to our experts - finding the best catch for the Reds,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00it's Danny Sebastian.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03And ringing the changes for the Blues, it's Jonathan Pratt.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- OK, guys, what are we looking for today?- Well, I like pretty things,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14so maybe if I can find a nice little brooch or something.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Well, I quite like blue and white sort of porcelain or Delftware, that type of thing.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- OK.- Something in the auction room, something you can go, "That's nice for my house, that is."
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Well, there's plenty of that here.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Decanters, some really nice glassware, or even I'd quite like a watch.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- So, a bit different.- Possibly.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Snap to it, teams. Your time starts now.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Let's go and see if we can find something.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Let's go.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- What about a nice big mirror? Mirrors always sell well, don't they?- Yeah.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43So Bohemia Crystal, have you heard of that before?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Not really. You really want vintage glass.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- This is quite modern glass, to be honest.- It is, yes.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52And don't forget, guys, you've got a lot of money to spend, you know,
0:06:52 > 0:06:55so I mean, you're going to be leaving me with a lot of money if you start buying items at £8.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Hop to it, Reds. There's plenty more at the fair.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Look at this old telephone. Do you remember?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Trip down memory lane, Blues?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Took you ages to dial out.- Ages.- My dad always used to put a lock on it.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Yes, I can imagine that!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Happy days, Blues, but get to it. There's work to be done.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17The Reds seem to be having a light bulb moment.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19What have we got? It's a bit of a light bulb.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I don't think it's going to get sold.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24You can buy something cheap and it can still be commercial,
0:07:24 > 0:07:27you can still make a lot of money with it, but...
0:07:27 > 0:07:30It's got to be something a little bit striking.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- OK.- What we've got there is, you know, a light bulb.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Unless it's the very first one made,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39then people aren't really going to be sort of thinking,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42"Oh, that's a fabulous thing, I want that, I want to own it."
0:07:42 > 0:07:45And that's what we want, we want something that people are going to want to own.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- Yeah.- Yeah.- So let's keep going. - Let's keep going.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51A resounding no to the light bulb, then.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Nice little array.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03The Blues set out for some china and here's a whole stall of it.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05What would immediately jump out at you here?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- This little one here, this is nice. - What do you like about it?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Well, I like the shape and I like the fact this one is quite unusual.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I've always liked the blue and white mixture on the porcelain.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Well, this is sort of following the Meissen tradition,
0:08:18 > 0:08:20the German tradition where, I mean,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23you get this sort of pattern more or less in the 18th century.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26So this would be, what? About early 20th?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Yeah, about 1910, 1915. - OK, what could we say for that?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- I'd do it at 60. - That's the death on it.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35It's a big piece of Dresden porcelain. It's about right.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Would you be able to even just get a bit off?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Couple of quid.- You've already hammered me to the floor.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42If you want to get one under the belt...
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- I think we'll get one under the belt.- Let's get the first one done.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Thanks ever so much.- Cheers.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Excellent, first item bought, Blues, and you're only 16 minutes in.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- Now, how are the Reds doing? - Shall we have a look at this clock?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56By all means, let's have a peep.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Hi.- Hello there, you all right? - Interested in the clock, yes?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Yes. Yes, it's very interesting.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04American, made by the Ansonia Clock Company.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Sometimes known as a gingerbread clock.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I noticed something on the back. Is it taped on the back?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Yeah, it's a label to the rear.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I think it's probably the people that actually sold it originally,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17so it would be like a store label.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20That label is a nice bit of provenance, Reds.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23It tells us this clock is dated to the late 19th century.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Have you got the key?- The key's in the bottom there, yeah.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Just open that up, just in the corner there.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- What sort of price are we talking? - I've got 70 on it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Do you like it?- I've got a... - I quite like it, actually, yes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39It's got bits on it that I quite like.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42What would be the absolute best that we could probably...
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- I mean, it's got to go to auction. - I understand that.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I can't really go below 60, to be fair with you.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49You know, there's probably a profit there.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- Yeah.- Hopefully, with people being at the auction.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- If you've got someone with a period property...- Yes.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57..then obviously it's the right sort of thing to have, isn't it?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Could you push it to 55 just for us?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Come on, don't be hard on them!
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- OK.- Brilliant, thank you very much.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Brilliant! First purchase completed. Time to move on, Reds.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Well, that's 20 minutes gone and we've bought our first item.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15- Are you pleased with it? - It's certainly quirky.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- Yes, I like it.- Oh, fantastic.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Well, the rain's starting to come down. Let's go inside.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Looks like the Blues have the same idea,
0:10:30 > 0:10:32and they've gone straight for another vase.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35What is it, orange, whether orange goes in people's houses?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- That's quite good in a modern setting.- Unusual piece.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Poole pottery, by the looks of it. - It is Poole, is it? Right.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42There you go, "Poole, England".
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- OK.- Style-wise it's sort of '60s or '70s.- Yeah.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47You could put that quite easily in a modern setting, couldn't you?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Well, yeah. A lot of these people, you go to a lot of stands,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53there's Ercol and there's all sorts and there's one of these on a sideboard.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Next to it with Ercol furniture, yeah.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I suppose you still could put flowers in it.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Oh, hi, is this your stall? - Hello, how are you?
0:11:00 > 0:11:01There's no price on this... That piece.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Could you let us know how much it would be?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Very best on it, 85.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10- 85.- 85.- 85. That's quite a lot of money.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- What do you think, Jonathan? - It's about taste, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16I really like it but I'm not sure...
0:11:16 > 0:11:18But then if you really like it and then there's...
0:11:18 > 0:11:20It should be about something we like cos if we like it,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I think other people are going to like it too.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27Well, we've established we all like it, but enough to buy it, Blues?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- I'll go with you.- I really like it.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- Really like it?- If we can get it for 80, just say 80.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- 80?- Yeah.- Can we do a deal, then? - We can do a deal.- Excellent.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Cheers, thank you.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Great, that's two items you've liked enough to buy and still 30 minutes to go.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- But what are the Reds up to? - What about that statue at the back?
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Just got to be a bit careful. It seems like you're taking over here, Adam.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- I know.- Is Emma going to get a chance?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- What do you think of it? - I'm not overly keen on it.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01With a nice bronze piece like that, really you're looking for a maker on it,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Goldschneider or somebody really brilliant.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- I don't think that is a Goldschneider.- Anything on the back?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Any stamps?- No. But quite decorative, I mean...
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I could move on the price, Danny.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15The vendor is telling us there's movement.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Don't forget we've got to go into auction with it.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I think we might need, you know, he's going to have to be very generous to us.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24But you know, it's a nice piece, it's that kind of dancing lady.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Yes, Danny, you're right. The Art Deco look is always popular,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31even with modern copies like this, so, Reds,
0:12:31 > 0:12:32can you do a good deal on it?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34What movement on the price?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- What have we got on that? - It's got 165 on there.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38What about 120?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Really, I think for us to stand any chance in auction,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45it has to be under £100.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- It has, hasn't it? - It does have to be, yes.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Is there any movement under?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- What's the absolute...- 95. 95 is the death on it.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54What are you thinking, Emma? Emma, you're not speaking.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- I...- There's a lot going on here and you're not saying a lot.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01It's fine because if he likes it and he thinks it can make it, then I'm fine.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- I'm fine, you know.- We want you involved in this as well.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10- I could get the third one.- As you well know, we're going to auction.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I mean, I think we may stand a chance of selling it
0:13:13 > 0:13:17between 80 and 100 if we could get it for about £80.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Just...- 85. 85, that's it done.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Shake the man's hand quickly. - Yeah, I think we should.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- I think we're nearly there. - They seem a lovely couple as well.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26They've been so nice. Thank you so much, sir. And to you.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Seem like a lovely couple? They are a lovely couple!
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- They are.- I mean, I think it's a lovely decorative piece.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Let's just hope there's going to be a couple of people at the auction
0:13:33 > 0:13:36that's going to fight over it and take it away.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- Oh, yeah.- Come on! - Let's go and get the next one.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Well done, 2-2!
0:13:40 > 0:13:42While the teams continue shopping,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I'm off to find out about a unique collection
0:13:45 > 0:13:49which commemorates one of Britain's most famous 19th-century women.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Florence Nightingale was the nurse who bravely treated soldiers
0:14:02 > 0:14:05during the Crimean War in the mid-19th century,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08but during her childhood she lived not far from here
0:14:08 > 0:14:10at Lea Hurst in the village of Holloway
0:14:10 > 0:14:13and today it's Peter Kay's home.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16When I bought the house I became inspired to learn more about
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Nightingale and her achievements,
0:14:18 > 0:14:22not just the Crimea stuff, which we sort of are familiar with,
0:14:22 > 0:14:26but also her work after the Crimea, which was prodigious, really.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29In addition to setting up the first nursing school,
0:14:29 > 0:14:32St Thomas's Hospital, in 1860,
0:14:32 > 0:14:36she worked to improve sanitary conditions for the British Army,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38she helped in hospital design,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40including at the Derby Royal Infirmary,
0:14:40 > 0:14:43and it was clear from Florence's writings that she held the house
0:14:43 > 0:14:46and the area very dear to her heart.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49In fact, she was happiest spending time in the village,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52visiting the poor and the sick of Holloway.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55And since then, it goes without saying,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57you're living in the same property and it seems quite natural,
0:14:57 > 0:15:01doesn't it, that you start collecting Nightingale memorabilia?
0:15:01 > 0:15:06- Absolutely. Yes.- So you've brought along a sculpture that I have seen
0:15:06 > 0:15:10before, but in much grander size, so tell me about this.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Yes, so this is one of three statuettes that were made
0:15:13 > 0:15:17effectively as a model for the Crimean War Memorial
0:15:17 > 0:15:20at Waterloo Place in London, which is where you might have seen it.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Yes.- It was made by Arthur George Walker,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26who was a painter and sculptor working in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28There are only three of these.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33One of the other ones is at 10 Downing Street in the art collection there, so it's an interesting thing.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36It certainly is, and you've got other items as well.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- Is that a Bible?- This is a lovely little thing.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41This is a Common Prayer hymns book...
0:15:42 > 0:15:45..which has a beautiful inscription. I might read it to you.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50"Frances Elizabeth Groundsell, with Florence Nightingale's love and earnest prayer
0:15:50 > 0:15:53"that we may both take the Christmas message of peace and goodwill.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55"Love is your gold, your service a gem.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57"Bring these to the babe of Bethlehem."
0:15:57 > 0:16:01This was a gift from Florence to her housemate in their London home,
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Frances Groundsell.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06What makes it special is that you are communicating
0:16:06 > 0:16:08almost with the past, aren't you?
0:16:08 > 0:16:13There is a communion there and that Florence would have obviously held that.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15That's lovely. What else have we got over here?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17This is a painting on glass.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20This was found in the house of Sydney Howard Gay,
0:16:20 > 0:16:25who was an abolitionist, lived in Massachusetts in the 19th century,
0:16:25 > 0:16:30and he counted Florence Nightingale amongst his professional friends.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32And this is interesting, I think,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35because it shows the international appeal and reputation
0:16:35 > 0:16:38of Florence Nightingale, even in the 19th century.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Well, Peter, you are without question my very first Florence Nightingale collector
0:16:42 > 0:16:45and I find it very illuminating what you have to tell me,
0:16:45 > 0:16:49and all I can do is wish you every success
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- in adding more to your collection. - Thank you.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05It's back to the shopping, where it's 2-2 with less than half an hour to go.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Adam's chosen the first two items, and it looks like he spotted something else.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Press that button and I think the suitcase opens.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18This is what we're looking for. Great, great, great eyes, really.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21This is what we're looking for, something a little bit quirky,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23something quite functional also.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Not to Emma's taste, then. So what's going on with the Reds, Danny?
0:17:28 > 0:17:32With the third item I'd like really a bit more of...
0:17:32 > 0:17:38A bit more of Emma being involved because I kind of feel that Adam's took over a little bit.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Blinging...- I've said that I'd like something that's pretty,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44maybe a brooch or something, so we'll have a look for some...
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Or a fob watch.- No, we're not going for watches at all, clocks.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Just something pretty.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Got that, Adam? A pretty brooch.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Over to the Blues, who already have two ceramic pieces under their belt,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01and guess what they've found.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- I quite like, that's quite... - Royal Doulton.- It's a brooch?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Is it a brooch? It's a Bassett or a beagle.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09It's a beagle, 1920s.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12We come from Stoke-on-Trent and one went at Potteries Auctions
0:18:12 > 0:18:15a couple of months ago and it fetched 90.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18The very, very best I would take on that would be 48,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- and that would give you a shot. - That's quite an unusual item.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- Do you think that might be a good buy?- I tell you what, 45.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- OK.- And that will guarantee you to make profit.- Right.
0:18:27 > 0:18:33My gut feeling is let's wander because we've probably still got 20 minutes left.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Yeah, no problem. - Thank you very much for that.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38And it's an easy run back here. That's the thing.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Dogs are a very popular subject, Blues, but don't leave it too long.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47The rain is still coming down but the Reds are safely undercover
0:18:47 > 0:18:50and Emma has finally found what she wanted.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55- That's pretty. Very pretty.- Can you tell us a little bit about it?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Well, the amber will be from Russia...
0:18:57 > 0:19:02- Right. OK.- So it's got the Russian export mark on it.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07It's also stamped 925 and it's the nicest piece I've ever had that's a brooch.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10You Reds go for the Art Deco lookalikes.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13And a very nice modern piece this is.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Time to talk money.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- I've got 80 on it.- What is the wiggle room on this, then?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20What would you say is the minimum you could do?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Well, I'm really looking for 70.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25I think it's kind of at its money at £70.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30I would have sort of... I would have valued it at about £50-70.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- I'll give you one last go at 65. - Do you like it?- I do like it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Yeah, I like it. - Yes, I do like it.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- You have said you wanted a brooch all along.- I did, yes.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44What is the absolute best you can do?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I honestly think that it's worth probably between 50-70 at auction...
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- Yeah, that would be it.- And I do appreciate you do this for a living,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54you've got to make a little bit, you know, you've got to make something.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59- I know what I paid. 62. - I think we can work with that.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- I really like it.- We're happy. - You really like it?- Yes.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Shake the man's hand, quick. - Thank you very much.- Thank you very much, sir.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Fantastic, Reds.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Three items in the bag and Emma even got her brooch.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13I'll tell you what, let's brave the rain and go and get ourselves a cup of tea.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- Good idea.- Brilliant.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18While the Reds put their feet up, the Blues are having a planning meeting.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- Shall we have a quick wander and then head back?- Unless we can bring the dog brooch right down...
0:20:22 > 0:20:27- Yeah.- OK. Let's go.- Let's go. - Back for the dog brooch, then.- Yay!
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- OK...- Now, we need a chance at auction on this, so would you...
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Well, I did say 45 would be my best.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Would we be able to crush you a little bit down to 35?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41No chance. Honestly.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I mean, it's just not worth me selling it at 35.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- OK.- What about 40?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Just give us a bit of a chance at auction.- 42.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I think there's a market for it. I think 42 is a...
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Yeah, go on, then.- Shake hands? - We'll do a 42.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Thank you very much indeed. - Cheers.- Thank you.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Thank you, kind sir.- You're welcome.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Let's have a dekko at the clock. It's telling me that time's up.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- All done.- All done.- Are you happy?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Yeah.- Three good bits, I think you should be really pleased with yourself.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- Next stop, we find out what happens at the auction, won't we?- Yes.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Let's see what the Reds have bought today.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19There's the ornate wooden clock, bought for £55.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Will the Art Deco inspired statue dance away at auction?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Price paid - £85.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32And the contemporary amber brooch - ticket price £62.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39You went in on a couple of lots pretty quick there, I see, Adam.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Yes, yes. Some things kind of jumped out at us, I'd say.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- At you, yes.- Well, to me.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Exactly. Well, this is what they call compromise.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- Absolutely.- Come on, Emma, you got your shiny thing at the end.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I did, yes, I got a lovely little brooch at the end, yes.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Excellent. Well, the first question, of course,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I'm going to ask you is what's your favourite object?
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- The brooch.- I thought as much. - Yes, very pretty.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- You've got two to choose from here, haven't you?- I have indeed, yes.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I'd say my favourite is probably the clock.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10It's something I would have myself.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13The statue I wouldn't have myself but I can see that making a bit of money.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Which is going to give you the biggest profit?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- I think we both think the statue. - I think it's going to be...- No?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20The statue? No! I'm saying it's the brooch!
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- OK. How much did you spend?- £202.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- That means that you're going to give me £98.- I am, yes.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31OK, now, I'm going to give that to Mr Sebastian.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- There you go, Danny. - Thank you, Eric.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- All right.- I've got something lined up for that money.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- All right, Danny, you go on your way and do your best.- I shall do.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Meanwhile, let's remind ourselves what the Blue team have bought.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46They went for ceramics all the way.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51First with the German porcelain vase, price £60, then another vase,
0:22:51 > 0:22:55this time from Poole pottery. Cost - £80.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59And finally, would the rare beagle brooch have some bite at the auction?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02It cost them £42.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05You spent a reasonable amount of money, you weren't mean,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07you were quite calculating.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13Having said all that, I'd like to know, first of all, Jane, your favourite object.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19Well, I quite like the brooch and I think it's quite nice because, you know,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- it's a pet and they're always nice. - The brooch is your favourite.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Yeah.- Justin, what about you? - Mine was the Poole vase.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28The orange Poole vase. I thought that was quite funky.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31But what about the item that's going to give you the biggest profit?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- I think we both agree with that one, don't we?- I think the brooch, I think.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Yeah, I think... - Yeah, because pets...
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- The Royal Doulton brooch. - Yeah, pets do well, I think.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40You spent, I think it was £182.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44- Yeah.- Yeah.- So you're going to place in my hand £118.- OK.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49- There we go.- Which I'm going to give to Jonathan.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- All right.- Have you spotted anything that's going to tempt you?
0:23:53 > 0:23:57I've seen many things and I know, funnily enough, I've got a very good idea of what they like.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59OK, well, while you go off on your merry way,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02we're going to go off to the auction.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19We have travelled all the way to the emporium
0:24:19 > 0:24:22that is Hansons auction house and we've got Mr Hanson himself.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Hello, Eric.- Hello, Charles.- Good to see you.- Good to see you too.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Well, let's start with the Red team, Adam and Emma.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32And the first of their buys is this somewhat imposing
0:24:32 > 0:24:35wooden mantle clock by Ansonia, American.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40Yes, it's quite flamboyant and it's what we call a gingerbread type,
0:24:40 > 0:24:44which would date to around 1885, I suppose.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Of course, as an American company,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50they formed in 1851 in Connecticut and then moved to New York in around
0:24:50 > 0:24:551878, so we know from the New York mark it's after 1878,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57and it's a good looking clock.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02It's got style but in many respects it's slightly now out of fashion.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- What's your estimate? - Between £30 and £50.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08£30 and £50, they're in with a chance. They paid £55 for it.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- OK, good.- OK.- We're on the edge, hopefully.- We're on the edge.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Next is this Art Deco style bronze figure...
0:25:17 > 0:25:19..and it is... It is bronze.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22It's quite solid, it's on a nice sort of marble base.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Quality, you're quite right, is superb.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28It has a lovely patination but I just wonder whether it's European
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- or maybe from the Far East.- OK.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34But you can't beat the quality when it comes to the deco look.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36That girl has got it.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40OK, she's got it but at a price, so what price have you put on her?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Well, I've put quite a wide guide price on to reflect her movement,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47so I've gone quite wide with a guide price of between £60-100.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Well, they'll be happy with that because they paid £85,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52which I think is very reasonable.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55I think if two buyers get behind it, she could run.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58So item number three is the silver and amber brooch.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00It's got that sophisticated look about it,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04maybe a bit of the Art Deco as well, but the marcasite style of ornamentation,
0:26:04 > 0:26:06the silver, what I'm sure is silver banding,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09and the amber is all nice quality.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- And the estimate is...- £10-15.- OK.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- Am I being a bit harsh? - Well, I think maybe this is tactics.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22Maybe this is a "come and get me" estimate but they paid £62 for it,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25so they may be wise to consider their bonus buy.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Either way, let's have a look at it.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Well, Red team, Adam and Emma,
0:26:31 > 0:26:36it's bonus buy time and you actually went out, you did a good spend,
0:26:36 > 0:26:41£202, which left £98 for Danny to go out and buy with.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Danny, show the people what you bought.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47What I've bought is...
0:26:49 > 0:26:50..nice bit of trench art.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55It's an old ammunition case and it's been sculptured to make into a vase.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59I mean, it's brass, it's got the date on the bottom, 1942,
0:26:59 > 0:27:01so we know it's from that period.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Very nice, I mean, there's a lot of sculpting gone into that, I think,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06a lot of craftsmanship. I think it's quite nice.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08It's quirky, it's a little bit different.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13- I like the style around the... - Round the neck?- The crucial question is, how much did you pay for it?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16What do you think I paid?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- 30 quid?- I'll tell you what, he's good, this chap.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21He's good, this chap. I actually paid 20.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Whoa! Yes.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25OK. And how much do you think it will fetch?
0:27:25 > 0:27:29I'd like to think that it could make between £40-50.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34- I love it.- Also might find it's got a market as well for people who do like militaria,
0:27:34 > 0:27:38so there's a lot of people who could have a lot of interest in it.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Well, let's find out if Charles also finds this to be an interesting piece.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48So here is Danny's bonus buy, Charles.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Yes, thank you, Eric.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52And I quite like it, it's obviously a nice,
0:27:52 > 0:27:55almost squeezed piece of trench art.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58It's got a certain style about it as well.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Importantly it's of military interest.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05- Right, so estimate?- I'd put a guide price of between £20-30.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07He paid £20 for it, so they're going to be pleased with that.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- Yeah.- Let's go onto the Blue team.
0:28:09 > 0:28:15- This is Justin and Jane.- Yes.- Their first item is a Dresden jardiniere.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19I've been trying to like it. I've been trying to get close to it, Eric,
0:28:19 > 0:28:23and understand that it's highly pierced, it's very ornate,
0:28:23 > 0:28:27it's well encrusted, but it's quite late Dresden.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31I do like it, Eric, for what it represents as a work of art but I don't like it very much.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34I'm just wondering if that might have influenced your estimate,
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- which is...?- Yes, I've gone between £40-60.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Well, they paid £60, so they are well within the game, then.
0:28:39 > 0:28:45- Good, good.- So item number two is the Poole Pottery vase.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48- It's striking, isn't it?- It is striking. It's of a period, isn't it?
0:28:48 > 0:28:54- Yes.- When I see that, I think of orange kitchen utensils in the 1970s!
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Yes, yes. I think it makes such an impression.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03It is so different to what went before in the china industry,
0:29:03 > 0:29:06in ceramics generally, and it's, as you say,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09so evocative of that wonderful psychedelic 1970s.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- So, estimate?- I've been a bit cruel on this one.
0:29:12 > 0:29:17I've gone between £40-60 but I do feel it might move a bit.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20OK, well, they went and paid £80 for it, so...
0:29:21 > 0:29:24..let's hope that the market's on an upturn.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26- OK?- Exactly, exactly.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28So, item number three, which I'm intrigued with.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32Yes. If the first two don't do so well, this, I think, will do very well.
0:29:32 > 0:29:38I've never seen one before, this Royal Doulton brooch modelled as a beagle,
0:29:38 > 0:29:41and it's such a lovely brooch.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Probably 1950s, could be a bit of a sleeper.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45Tell me, what's the estimate?
0:29:45 > 0:29:52Well, we have put a guide price on of between £60-100 and if two buyers really get behind it,
0:29:52 > 0:29:55two dog lovers who have maybe deep pockets,
0:29:55 > 0:29:57it could really bark.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01Well, they paid £42 for it and they've both been a little prophetic
0:30:01 > 0:30:06- insofar as they both think it's the one item that's going to give them the largest profit.- Good.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09So you've given them a good reason to have high hopes.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- I hope so.- All right.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Well, whether or not they need it, let's find out what the bonus buy is.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Right, Blues, Justin and Jane, it's bonus buy time,
0:30:19 > 0:30:21and you had quite a healthy spend.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25We did, yes. We did quite well. We wanted to spend a lot, Eric,
0:30:25 > 0:30:28we wanted to spend everything but we just couldn't find a big item we wanted.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Yes, you actually spent £182,
0:30:30 > 0:30:34which meant that Jonathan had £118 to go out and find a bonus buy.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39Jonathan, would you like to reveal, very carefully?
0:30:41 > 0:30:43There we are.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47A nice, Art Deco style decanter in this lovely sort of amber
0:30:47 > 0:30:50flashing on it and engraved with flowers,
0:30:50 > 0:30:52and it's sort of like little shot glasses, you know,
0:30:52 > 0:30:55and I thought if you've got your friends around, that's quite fashionable at the moment,
0:30:55 > 0:30:58this sort of style has been in fashion for some time,
0:30:58 > 0:31:01obviously it's the origins of the style in the 1920s
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- and I just thought it was a bit of class, really.- Yeah.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08- Yeah.- Actually, I really like it. - I like it. We've got some decanters at home, haven't we?
0:31:08 > 0:31:12We do, and we did want some glass and we couldn't find any glass.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- I like the colouring as well. - And we did like the Art Deco.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20- We saw a few Art Deco things.- Yes, exactly. I knew all this as we were going along. I was making notes.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22We do like it but how much did you pay for it?
0:31:22 > 0:31:27- And is there any profit in it? - It cost me £116.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29I would certainly say it's worth more than £100.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31It has to be 120, thereabouts.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34It may be a small profit, it may make a little bit more.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- OK, so that's...- Yeah. - Well, quality glassware.
0:31:37 > 0:31:44Let's find out if Charles appreciates a certain amount of Art Deco style and elegance.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48So, here is Jonathan's bonus buy.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52Quite a stylish decanter and six matching cups.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Amber flashed and very deco-looking, but what do you think?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58I think when you say the word looking,
0:31:58 > 0:32:02you're quite right and I would love to say it is 1930s,
0:32:02 > 0:32:04it is the real McCoy, but I'm...
0:32:04 > 0:32:08It's quite a hard set to date because it's still being manufactured,
0:32:08 > 0:32:14it's still a great tourist export and I suppose I'm hoping it's 1960s.
0:32:14 > 0:32:19- Yeah.- But it's complete, it's clean, I love the design,
0:32:19 > 0:32:24it's striking and it's a good decorative art.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- So, estimate?- Well... I do like it, Eric.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31I've put a guide price of between £100-150.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36- Well, Jonathan went and paid £116 for that, so he's on the right side, yeah?- Yeah, I think he is, Eric,
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- and I think there's a chance it might just run a bit.- OK.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44So, over to the auction,
0:32:44 > 0:32:49and today Charles's colleague Isabel Balmer is stepping up to the rostrum.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52So, Adam and Emma, have you been to an auction before?
0:32:52 > 0:32:57- No, this is our first time, this is. - Is it? Oh, right, well your first is always the best, isn't it?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59I mean, no two ways about it.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Fortunately Danny has been to plenty of them so you've had some pretty good advice along the way.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Are you feeling energised? - Yes, yes, we are, very excited.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Good, good, good.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12Well, I'm just as excited as you are but either way your first lot is just about to come up.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Our 20th-century American oak wall clock.

0:33:18 > 0:33:20£15. Start me at 15.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52Selling at 35.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Oh! What a shame.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- That's a little bit shoddy. - Never mind.- Never mind.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- That was a bit of a drop. - It is a bit. Minus 20.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02It's all to play for, you know, let's go for it.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04- We've still got some good lots to come.- Yes.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08The next lot is the Art Deco style bronze, which is very stylish,
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- isn't it?- Very decorative. - She's fabulous.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Very fluid, very graceful.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Have a good look at her and what shall we say?
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Start me at just £20.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18- Just £20.- It's that cheap.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Bid me 20. Bid me 20. Looking for £20. 20 is bid.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- Where's two now?- Come on, come on. - £20 at the back of the room.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29And two. 35, 38.
0:34:29 > 0:34:3235, at the back of the room, 38, new place.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- 40.- You know it's worth it. - And five, and 50.
0:34:35 > 0:34:3845 seated, asking 50 now.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- 55.- There we go.- 60.- Come on.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- Five. 70.- Come on!- 70, sir.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- Come on, come on.- 70.- Come on!
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- Ssh!- 65 here, asking 70 now. I've got 65.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51It's on my far left. I will take 70 now.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Are you all sure? Fair warning.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55My hammer's raised and I sell to you, madam.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57All done, all sure, at £65.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Sold.
0:34:59 > 0:35:05Oh, 65! We're another minus 20, which gives us minus 40.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07OK, not to worry, not to worry.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Our next lot is the contemporary silver and amber brooch.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12And that teardrop shape there,
0:35:12 > 0:35:14and it's got the London import marks on it.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Very pretty brooch, this one.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20We have quite a low estimate on it, so let's start it at just £10.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24£10 to start. Ten is bid, straight in, 12, 15, 18, 20.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27And two. 25, 28, and 30, and two.
0:35:27 > 0:35:3135. 38, and 40. And five, 50.
0:35:32 > 0:35:3545 is bid with you, sir. Have we got 50 now?
0:35:35 > 0:35:37£45, bid me 50, bid 50.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39I've got £45. Internet, you're quiet on this one.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Would you like 50? With you, sir, all done, all sure?
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Congratulations, sir, selling at 45.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50- Sold.- Right, OK, minus 17.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51OK, well, we're minus 57.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55It's... It may be down to the bonus buy.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57- Million percent, got to do that. - OK.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Well, I don't think it can do a lot worse.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- So no pressure, Danny.- No.- Good lad, excellent. Here we go.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06We have our trench art brass vase.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09I like this one. We don't often see them shaped like this.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14Unusual one, and it's military issue, 1942.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Who would like to start the bidding at £10?
0:36:17 > 0:36:20£10, ten is bid, well worth a bid of ten.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Come on! Come on!
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- You bid £10, bid 12 instead. - Come on!- Asking £12.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Who would like it? I can't believe it. Bid me 12. 12.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Hands everywhere. 12, 15, madam, 18, sir.
0:36:32 > 0:36:3420, and two.
0:36:34 > 0:36:3622? £20, lady's bid, looking for 22 now,
0:36:36 > 0:36:39at £20 it's bid here with you, madam.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43All done, you've fought them off and I sell at £20.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47- £20!- No loss.- Well, we broke even. No loss, yeah.- Good find, though.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Yes, it was good to enjoy that moment.
0:36:52 > 0:36:58- Yes.- But at the end of the day we're in a minus 57 position, OK?
0:36:58 > 0:37:03- It could be a win.- It could be a win, there's no two ways about it.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06OK, so not a word to the Blues, OK?
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- Promise.- OK.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- Have you been to an auction before? - We have been to this auction before, yes.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- Oh, have you?- We live very local so we've been here before. - A couple of times.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Yeah, OK, so you really are batting on home turf, then.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Yeah.- So does it put you in your comfort zone?
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- I think...- No.- A little bit. - A little bit.
0:37:31 > 0:37:36OK, well, the first item that's coming up is your interesting porcelain twin handled jardiniere.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40Beautiful thing, this one. Loving the decoration.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43Start me off at just £20. £20. Bid me 20.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46£20, £20, would make a fabulous table decoration.

0:37:58 > 0:38:00Come on, madam, have a go at 50.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04- One more. £50, one more, 55, sir. - Oh, go on.- One more!

0:38:07 > 0:38:09- New place. 60.- Yes, go on!
0:38:09 > 0:38:13Lady's bid at the back of the room there, and I ask £60.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Who would like it? I'm looking for 60. I have your bid at 55.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- Let's go one more. 60. - THEY CHEER
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- She couldn't stop him then. - At £60, gentleman's bid.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Looking for five now.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- Come on.- £60. I will take five, asking five.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Are we all done? Are we all quite sure?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31We do not want to regret this one.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33I've got you, sir, at £60, selling...
0:38:35 > 0:38:37..fair warning, OK.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Well, neither here, neither there.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42OK, well there's a start.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Steady Eddie.- Anyway, next lot is the Poole Pottery vase.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Fabulous vase, really good size, this one.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51Loving the colour ways there with the red and the orange tones,
0:38:51 > 0:38:54and start me at £30 for it.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57£30 for the Poole pottery. It is worth every penny.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01Bid me 30. And five. Straight in on the internet is bid, asking 40.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- Go, internet.- 35, 40 in the room, looking for five now.

0:39:08 > 0:39:1160. I have 60, internet, in the room.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13I will take five. 65, 70, sir.
