Today, we're in the county of Kent, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
and we have the building blocks in place for another fantastic show. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
And we're at a huge antiques fair. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
We have some skilful Reds | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
and some determined Blues. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
So will they make sky-high profits or fall to the ground in a heap? | 0:00:18 | 0:00:23 | |
Who knows? Let's go Bargain Hunting! | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
Oops! | 0:00:29 | 0:00:30 | |
We're here at the Detling Antique and Collectors Fair | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
and there's a rush to get hold of all the bargains! | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Our teams have got £300 | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
and just one hour in which to buy three items to | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
take off to auction and, with any luck, make a profit. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
Let's check out what's coming up. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
The Reds are acting up. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
-Go for the jugs? -Absolutely! -I like them. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
The Blues just want to lie down. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
If you have an ottoman at the bottom of your bed, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
do you want blankets in it? | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
No! What do you want in it? | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
BOTH: Wine! | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
'And, at the auction, there are celebrations...' | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
-Thank you, thank you! -Yes! | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
-AUCTIONEER: -Well done. -Well done. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
'..and disappointments.' | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
Come on! | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
But never mind! | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
That's all for later. Now, let's meet today's cracking teams. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
And, for the Red team, we have best of friends Ference and Jack | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
and, for the Blue team, we have mum and daughter Kath and Nicola. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
-Hello! ALL: -Hello. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
Oh, resounding noise! That's splendid! | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
You look most encouraging and enthusiastic! | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
Now, how do you know each other? | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
We met at the theatre that I started working at many years ago. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
-Yeah. -Ference was a duty manager at the time, weren't you? -Indeed, yes. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-And I was a technician. -Do a bit of acting yourself? | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
A little bit, yes, yes. I do some amateur dramatics, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
I'm a member of my local theatre group, Godalming Theatre Group, | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
and I've also done a bit of extra work | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
in a number of episodes of Midsomer Murders. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
Now, Jack, you're a bit of a star too, aren't you? | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
Yes, I'm currently touring a one-man play on the life of Norman Wisdom. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
-Norman Wisdom? -Maybe. -Even I remember Norman Wisdom! | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
-Goodness me! -I'd like to talk to Norman Wisdom. Speak to me, Norman! | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
LIKE NORMAN WISDOM: Would you? What here? Now? | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
All right then, go on! | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
It IS Norman Wisdom! | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
If we can't find any antiques, we can auction Ference! | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
-Ha-ha, ha-ha! -How dare you(!) | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
-That's enough. -I think that's more than enough! | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
What talent! | 0:02:48 | 0:02:49 | |
-Got to come and see it! -Absolutely. Wisdom of a Fool, it's called, | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
and it takes you through his whole life and career. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Now, Jack, what about your love of antiques? | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
Um, I've been collecting from quite a young age, so I've got puppets, | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
I've got magic lanterns, cinema posters. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
So all sorts of things to do with entertainment, theatre and cinema. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
Ference, where do your antique interests lie? | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
Well, I think Jack's more of an expert than me, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
cos I'm more down the tacky fridge magnet route, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
-which I'm not very proud of, I'm afraid. -Terrible business! | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
Will you spend big or small? | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
-Oh, big, I think. -Big, I think, yes. -Yeah. -Yeah, go for big. -Yeah. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
Bold chaps! Anyway, good luck, Reds! | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
-Thank you very much for that. -Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
Now, Kath and Nicola. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
Now, Kath, you're retired now, aren't you? | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
-I am, yes. -Wonderful. What did you use to do? | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
I used to work in a school as a resources officer. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
But now you've stopped that, and I think it's a bit of gardening, | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
-isn't it? -There is a bit of gardening involved now, yes. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
There always was, but obviously more time is spent on the garden now. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:44 | |
-Yeah, yeah. -Yeah, I enjoy gardening, it's not a job, it's not work. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
No. Nicola, this gardening bug has bitten you, hasn't it? | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
Yes, you could say that! | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
I mean, in more ways than one! It's now your business, isn't it? | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
It is, yes. After a long career in banking, I decided to have | 0:03:56 | 0:04:01 | |
a complete career change and try gardening as a living. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
-Yeah? -And so far, so good. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
-Do you do Mum's garden? -I help, yes. -KATH GASPS | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
You help? Ha-ha! There was a deep intake of breath there, Mum! | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
-Would you not let her in your garden? -I'd let her, yeah. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
-Do you approve of her gardening techniques? -Not always. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
Oh, dear! I think we'd better move on! What about antiques, Mum? | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
Well, I like antiques. I mean, I don't know much about them at all. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
I don't really know anything much. But I just like old things. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
-Do you? -Yes. -Well, good evening. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
Now, what about you? | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
I like small, sparkly things. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
-Do you? -I like glass. -Yeah. -Got a couple of Lalique pieces... | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
-Oh, have you? -..that I'm very pleased about, yes. -Yeah! -So, yeah. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
Well, if you can find a bit of Lalique within your budget today, | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
-that would be rather exciting, wouldn't it? -Wouldn't it just? | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
-Are you going to be spending a lot of money? -Ooh... -Yes. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
-We... -Yes! LAUGHTER | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
Are you going to agree on anything at all? | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
-Not a lot! -Not a lot? -No, not a lot. -This could be a wonderful shop! | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
-Yes! -Now, what will you need, teams? | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
-Money! -Money! -Money would be nice! -Well spotted! | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
-Lolly! -Well done, Norman(!) | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
Sharp as a razor, Norman, isn't he? | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
Right, I've got 300 for you. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
-Thank you very much. -And I've got 300 for you, Norman, steady with it! | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
-Thank you! -Well, off you go shopping and have a great time. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
-Thank you. -Thank you. -Well, well, well. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
Stage versus Sage! Who will win? | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
All our teams need now are their experts. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
Studying hard for the Reds, it's Nick Hall. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
And hoping to grow decent profits for the Blues, it's John Cameron. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
Jack, Ference, here we are. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:45 | |
Nice early start. The mist descending! | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
-Feeling confident? -Very confident indeed. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
-Fantastic! -What's the plan of attack? | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
Well, I'm in the market for something theatre, cinema related. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
-Possibly a bit of Art Deco. -Like it! | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
What sort of things do you think we're going to be buying today? | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
-Oh, I don't know. But I think we'll know when we see it. -I like that! | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
Ference, my friend, what are you after today? | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
I don't know, something edgy, maybe something local, | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
-and things in good condition. -I like your tactic. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
-JOHN: -And how about you, Nicola? | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
Small, shiny, perhaps collectables, I was thinking. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
Right, teams, the pressure is on! | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
Your 60 minutes starts now! BELL RINGS | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
Let's go Bargain Hunting! | 0:06:21 | 0:06:22 | |
-Let's go and play! -Right! -Fantastic. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
And they're off. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:26 | |
Best of luck, teams. Break a leg! | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
A leg and an arm. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
That would probably cost an arm and a leg! | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
-BOOM TISH! -Hee-hee-hee! | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
-And the comedy duo have started already! -I'm here all week! | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
Right, girls, a few bits and pieces here. Do want to take a look here? | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
-Yes, please. -Yes. -Right, anything taken your eye? | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
We've got paperweights here. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:44 | |
Can you see that little cabinet there, little thing? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
-That looks really nice. -OK, we can have a look at it if you like. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
-Can we have a little look? -Yeah, if you want. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
-With those little sort of faux ivory handles... -Yeah? | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
-..it would date it to the 1920s and '30s. -Yeah. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
It's not hugely decorative and I think that's probably like | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
-a little tool chest, isn't it? -Yeah. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:02 | |
You'd have some screws and things like that in it. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
Right, OK. We'll give that a miss. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:06 | |
-Right, OK. -Keep looking. The stall holders are just waking up. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
Wakey-wakey! | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
The Blues have money burning in their pockets. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
Meanwhile, Nick has a light bulb moment. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
A bit of Art Deco over there. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
-Yes. -That ceiling light. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:20 | |
-Yes. -Is that the sort of thing you had in mind? | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
-Let's have a little look. -It's got a classic Art Deco look to it. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
-Absolutely. -I know this is something you're passionate about? -Definitely. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
-But it's a really classy-looking object. -That is nice. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
I love all this original... | 0:07:33 | 0:07:34 | |
Is it original? I don't know. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
-That might be a replacement piece. -Yeah? | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
-But either way, looks fabulous. -It's great, isn't it? | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
Once you've got a lamp in there, that's going to look great. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
You're going to need to obviously hook that bit on there. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
-Yeah. -Right. -It shines down. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
And then, of course, you get that right up on the ceiling. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
-Yeah. -You get the light coming through that beautiful peach glass. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
-Looks like a flying saucer, almost. -It does. -Yeah, absolutely. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
-Quite a stylish thing, isn't it? -Yeah, I like it. -I quite like that. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
-£48. -What do you think about the price? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
-Taking a chance at about 20, maybe. -Oh, you're harsh! | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
-I know! -I'm thinking 30. I'm thinking 30. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
-Brutal! -Well, you never know. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
-We could try. -If the price were in an area you were comfortable with... | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
-Yeah. -..is it something you think you might want to buy? | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
I think so. If we can get it for 30. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
-Shall we...? -Have a chat with the stallholder | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
-and see if you can work your magic. -OK. -Dazzle her! -Yes, where is she? | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
Absolutely. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:29 | |
-Madam. -Yes? -Hello. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
Any chance of a quick word about your Art Deco light? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
-Yes, of course. -Thank you. -We're really liking it. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
-Yes. -But is there any movement on price? | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
Is there any chance we could go for 30? | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
30? | 0:08:42 | 0:08:43 | |
My goodness! That's... | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
I mean, the only reason we say that is, we do love the thing, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
I'm a little concerned, I think... the ropes are replacement pieces. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
-Yes. -And it just needs a little bit of work for the electrics... -Yes. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
..to be usable again, we're going to go to auction with it, | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
we've got to bear all that in mind. Hence the offer. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
Well, to give you a chance, I'll do 30. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
-Oh, you're a star! Thank you so much. -That was easy, wasn't it? | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
-Brilliant. Nicely done. -I like you! What else have you got we can buy? | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
-You're brilliant! -Is that a deal, 30 quid? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
-30 quid. -I think so. -We're done! Yes! -Thank you. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
Well, the razzle-dazzle worked! Good work, guys. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
I think this is going to be an absolute breeze, isn't it? | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
I think this is going to work! | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
Gentleman, Act One is over. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
-Huzzah! -Excellent! -Brilliant. -Let's move on to Act Two! | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
Indeed! | 0:09:27 | 0:09:28 | |
This theatrical duo are off the mark | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
with their first buy within seven minutes! Now, where are the Blues? | 0:09:30 | 0:09:35 | |
I leave you alone for two minutes and you wander off on me! | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
-What have you seen? -Sorry, sorry. Well, we like lots on here. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
Do you like lots? What do you like? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
-That. -You like these printing blocks? -Yes. -You do? -Indeed. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
I just think it's very different. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
-They do have a kind of almost fossil-like quality to them. -Yeah. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
-I think they're wonderful. -You like them? | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
I've never sold them at auction... | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
-OK. -..to sort of get a gauge of where are we on pricing and stuff. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
-I do like them, they are very now, they have that look. -Yeah. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
-Is there anything else on here that you like? -I like this box. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
You like the box, do you? What's inside here? | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
-There's some little compartments in. -So it's fitted out inside. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
I'm wondering if this would've been for cigarettes or something. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
Well, when you've got compartments like that, | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
that do have some adjustment, | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
they're often for things like that which come in different sizes. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
Right, yeah, I see. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
-Possibly, it's quite a nice box, could be a sewing box. -Is it oak? | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
-It IS oak. -Yeah. -It is oak. And these little mounts on here, | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
-this has a kind of Japanese influence, I think, to that. -It is. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
Quite practical, and it's got a key. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
-Do you like the box? -I do like the box. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
So would you like me to ask the stallholder about the box? | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
-Yes, please. -And Nicola wants to know about that. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
-Right, I'm going to leave you. Don't get up to mischief, you two! -OK. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
It's very much in vogue, | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
printing your own fabrics and things like that now, isn't it? | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
-Yeah, it is. -So I think they could be useful. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
-What news, John? -Right, girls. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
Starting with the printing blocks first. The stallholder informs me | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
he usually sells them to interior designers | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
who aren't looking to make a profit going to auction. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
-OK. -He's very honest. -Yeah. -And so, you know, he said, look, | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
we might struggle, because he gets good money for them | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
and some of these are £100 each. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
The box, 19th century probably, maybe early 20th. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
Got that down to £60. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:18 | |
He was looking for around 80 for it. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
So 60's the best price he'd do on that. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
-Do you like it? -I do like it. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
-I do like it. Would you be happy with that for 60? -I'm happy, yes. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
As a sewing box, it's nice, it's not bad condition. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
-And it is a useful item. -It is a useful item. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
-Go for it? -Yes, we'll go for it. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
-60 quid. -Thank you. -Let's go pay the stallholder. -Fab! -First one done! | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
Yes, a crafty first purchase for the Blues. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
£60 for the oak sewing box. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
The Reds, however, are being drawn back to Theatreland. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
Oh, he's nice, isn't he? | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
-Good condition as well. -Good condition. -Yeah. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
I mean, this is right up your street. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:57 | |
-I used to collect Pelhams, growing up. -Mm-hm. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
-And I've still got some at home and they're boxed. -Right. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
And I know the boxed ones do go for quite good money. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
I, as a valuer, see a lot of these around. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
-Yes. -And it's only the rarer ones collectors will get excited about. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
-Right. -But if you've got a nice collection and a lovely box | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
to display them in, it just makes it a little bit more interesting. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
I think so. Depending on price, of course. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
Absolutely. So, have we got a price? | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
-What does it say? -Um, "Pelham wolf puppet..." -We've got 65 on that. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
-Just for the one puppet? -Just for the one. -You need to be | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
-buying the whole lot for that to get any profit on auction. -Yes. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
-Absolutely. -Do you want me to go and have a conversation with the dealer | 0:12:30 | 0:12:33 | |
-and just see just how reasonable he can be and...? -Yes. -All right. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
While Nick goes off to check, the Blues are still browsing. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
Look at that lovely, look, look, kid's Penny Farthing there. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:44 | |
-Oh, yes! -Oh, yeah. -But I'm pretty sure it's out of our budget. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
-Yeah, yeah. -OK. -Nice though, isn't it? | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
Look at this here, look. Some sheet metal here. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
-It's just been cut out as a figure. -Yes! -This is what people are buying. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
-All sorts! -They are, aren't they? Yeah. -It looks like a lavatory sign! | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
It does a bit! | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
Anybody feeling flush?! Both teams have plenty of cash to spend. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
On that note, the Reds are getting ready to negotiate. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
Pull those strings, chaps! | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
Let's talk money. So, we're looking at the Pelham puppets and | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
we thought, displayed in this box as well, for that to be thrown in. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
-But it all depends on price. -What's the best you can do on those? | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
I would do them for 90, the lot. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
Ouch! I mean, I think that's about what it might get near at auction. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:27 | |
-Yeah. -50? -I would say 50. -I can't do 50. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
-60 quid? -63, how about 63? | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
-I wouldn't go much more than that, really. -65. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
Moneywise... | 0:13:36 | 0:13:37 | |
you're pushing it. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:38 | |
-You're about on the cusp of what it might fetch. -Yeah. -Yeah. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
But if you get two other enthusiasts, who knows? | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
-But it's up to you, really, guys. -I don't want to pay too much. -60? | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
-60? Can we do a deal at 60? -60? -60? Take the whole lot off your hands. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:53 | |
-Just think of the space it'll clear out for you! -Yeah! | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
Absolutely! | 0:13:56 | 0:13:57 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:13:57 | 0:13:58 | |
-If you don't tell the wife, I'll do it. -Yes! -Brilliant. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
-Fantastic! -Our lips are sealed. -Absolutely. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
-60 quid for the whole shebang. -Done! | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
'Well done, chaps!' | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
-So, two down, one to go. -One to go. -The final act! | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
-Great. -Here we go, let's do it. -Come on, let's go singing and dancing! | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
-Hey! -A great negotiating performance from the Reds. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
Four puppets in a box for £60. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
Meanwhile, the Blues are on the scent of their second item. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
Now, you wanted little, shiny, silver things. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:27 | |
-So feast your eyes, there's a whole host of things here. -Millions! | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
-So let's have a look. I try to work the cabinets a bit at a time. -Yeah. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:36 | |
-This is nice. -You like that? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
-Do you know what it is? -No. -Double-ended? | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
Yeah, double-ended scent bottle. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
-Oh, OK. -Ooh! -Yeah. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
-This is Victorian. -Yeah. -It's ruby glass or cranberry glass. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
Women would have carried them in their, you know, in the kind of | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
-muff there or pockets there. -Yeah. -And you had your scent on hand. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
-Would you like to have a look at it? -Yes, please. -You would? | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
-STALLHOLDER: No problem at all. -Thank you. -Thank you. -Beautiful. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
-It is nice. -Yeah. It's nice, isn't it? -I think it's absolutely lovely. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
What have we got on the other end there? | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
-This one's a screw on! -That's funny! -That's quite nice. If it's silver, | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
then, obviously, it's... it's more desirable at the sale. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
Yeah, there is a hallmark there, so it's silver. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
-Is it? -Yeah, it's Birmingham, Birmingham hallmark. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
Since this was your spot, Nicola, you have a closer look at it. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
Thank you. I suppose, with collectors, | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
that'd be a silver collector, perfume bottle collector, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
-cranberry glass collector? -It does have crossover. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
-You're absolutely right. -How much is it? | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
-Because I can't see. -It's got 120 on it. -120. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
-Hi there. -Hi there. -Um... | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
-Got 120 on it. -Yeah. -Is there sort of much movement on that? | 0:15:35 | 0:15:39 | |
-Let me just check it for you. -She likes it cos it matches her hair! | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
I wasn't going to say anything at all about that! Um... | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
I could probably get that down to 95. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
Could you do 90? | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
Um... | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
-Go on, I'll do 90, yes. -You can't be any fairer than that! -Thank you. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
-So you'd better shake this lady's hand. -Yes, yes, please! | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
-Thank you very much indeed. -Thank you very much. -Thank you. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
-Thank you very much. Thank you. -So you've got a purchase, | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
you've got a purchase, now there's one that we both need to agree on. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
-That's right, yeah. -Brilliant. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:10 | |
Fab! A second buy for the sweet-smelling Blues. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
Well within the halfway mark! | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
I'm going to leave the teams to it while I find out about | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
a collection combining two of my favourite things - | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
history and ale brewing. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
One of the big breweries in Kent was the Fremlins' Brewery, | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
which was situated just down the road in Maidstone. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
And it was founded in 1861 by Ralph Fremlin. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
The Maidstone Museum still retains | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
a large number of artefacts from those brewing days. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
And we're lucky enough today to have Rebecca Arnott, | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
the chief collections officer, with us. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
Well, it's lovely to see you, Rebecca. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
Now, tell me more about this brewery. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
Who exactly was Ralph Fremlin? | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
So Ralph Fremlin, unusually for a brewer, | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
was part of the temperance movement. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
He was a highly religious man and he was really opposed to public houses. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:05 | |
What?! A religious man? | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
Doesn't always go with brewing, does it? | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
It is odd, but he tried to pioneer bottled beers. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
-Yeah. -For people to consume at home. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
So that they didn't go out and get drunk in pubs. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
-These are some later bottles that we have from the collection. -Yes. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
-And you can clearly see in this one, it says "Brewed in Maidstone". -Yeah. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
-Down there. -Sugar free, I see. -And almost sugar free, yeah! | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
-Gosh! -They were very ahead of their time. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
In 1871, he set up the Earl Street, Havoc Lane site... | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
-Yes. -..to specifically focus on pale ales. -Right. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
-And he invited his brothers to join him and it was a huge success. -Yeah. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
I suspect he was a huge employer in the area, wasn't he? | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
-And a good employer? -Yeah. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
By the 1880s, they were employing about 100 workers. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
They set up a benefits club to help their sick workers. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:52 | |
-And they had a reading room. -Gosh, that again was ahead of its time, | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
-wasn't it? -Yeah, they really were. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
They even had an allowance for their male workers, | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
so you could have four pints a day, but you couldn't take them home. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
So could you drink the beer on site? | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
-Yeah, you could. -No! | 0:18:04 | 0:18:05 | |
-What a fantastic job! -If you wanted to take them home, you had to pay | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
a duty, because, obviously, people could take them and sell them. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
Now, what about the significance of the elephant? | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
The elephant was part of the Fremlins' logo. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
It had been part of the family crest, | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
because they were involved in the East India Company. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
East India Company, yeah. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
This nodding elephant would have been a particularly well-known sight | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
-throughout off-licences and pubs. -How wonderful! | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
Now, he appears, doesn't he, on virtually all their products? | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
He does. So we've got a lot of different examples of their logo. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
They were very good at branding. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:38 | |
And even down to matchbox holders. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
Yeah. You see, it's quite a popular symbol, I think. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
And it would have had a certain mystique, wouldn't it, certainly | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
in the early 20th century? How many people would have seen an elephant? | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
-Exactly. Apart from on the Fremlins' signs. -Yes, quite, quite. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
Well, it's been absolutely fascinating. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
-I love my beer and thank you very much indeed, Rebecca. -Thank you. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
Back to it, and we're halfway through. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
Both teams have two items. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
Are they all on track? | 0:19:07 | 0:19:08 | |
I'm pleased, I've got my Deco beauty. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
-Yeah, got Deco. -I'm happy with my Deco. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
Got something theatrical as well. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:14 | |
-Yes. -Very pleased with that so far. -Yes. Onto the next! -Yes. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
Well, exactly. Get on it! What about the Blues, though? | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
Right, girls, as you can see, | 0:19:21 | 0:19:22 | |
the gates have opened now and it's like Moses has parted the fog, | 0:19:22 | 0:19:27 | |
in have come the masses! All the bargains could start going. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
-Yes. -So, we've got half an hour left, let's find that other item... | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
-Let's get the bargain. -..then get ourselves back in | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
-for a nice cup of tea, shall we? -Yes, please. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
-Yes, please. -Let's go this way. -This way. -Right. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
The Reds have spotted something red hot. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
Really cool, bang on trend. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
-Yeah. -1970s West German ceramics. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
And you see the way you get this fabulous thick glaze? | 0:19:49 | 0:19:55 | |
They call it fat lava. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:56 | |
-I was just going to say lava, yeah. -Because it looks exactly like that. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
-Yeah. -I mean, this sort of stuff, years ago, | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
-you wouldn't get 50p, a pound a pot. -Yeah. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
Now this stuff is bang on trend, they're writing books about it, | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
there's collections building up. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:08 | |
-Oh, right. -Yeah. -Commercially, that's where the money's at. -OK. -OK. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
What do we think? | 0:20:12 | 0:20:13 | |
I'm totally with you on this one. I personally am not keen on this. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
-I love some of the other ones. -OK. -And I love the colours in this. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
-Yeah. -But I would trust your judgment on it. -Yeah. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
What about if we get a few of them together and get a deal? | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
-Use your artistic skills. -Put some together. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
OK. Well, I'm thinking let's get a smaller one. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
-What about if you put that cylindrical one with it... -Right. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
-..just to create a look? -Yeah. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:37 | |
I mean, those three together would look really cool | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
-in an auctioneer's catalogue. -Mm-hm. -Yeah, in a catalogue, as you say. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
That looks nice, doesn't it? | 0:20:42 | 0:20:43 | |
-So if we're going to buy these, we'll go for those three? -Yeah. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
We might get a discount for buying bulk. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
-Right. -I'll go and see what he says. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:49 | |
-Brilliant. thank you. -Fingers crossed. -Hurrah! | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
Do your best, Nick. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
Meanwhile, do the Blues fancy a sit down? | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
It's nice, isn't it? | 0:20:56 | 0:20:57 | |
It looks like... It's got, it says here hospital chair. | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
-I can see why. -Yeah, yeah. -But it's a type of Sedan chair. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
-It is, isn't it? -And looking at that there, | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
I'm wondering if that has been sort of let in afterwards. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
-There's something about it, isn't there? -It is. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
There's something nice about it. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
Now I spotted on here... a maker's name, | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
"John Carter's patent literary machine". | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
-It's got a bit of worm in here as well, we can see. -Oh, yeah. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
Doesn't look too bad. What are you thinking of it? | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
Well, I think it's nice. I mean, you liked it as well, didn't you? | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
-Yeah? -It is nice. -Is that 65? -£65 is the price on that. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
The stallholder's quite a nice chap, actually, we might be able to do... | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
-And we liked the drink cabinet. -That caught your eye, didn't it, Nicola? | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
Do you want to look at that ottoman? | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
-Yes, please. -See, look, she's smiling. -Yes, yes. -Come on! | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
While the Blues go for a gander, | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
Nick is back with news on those fat lava vases. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
Now, this one, the chap was telling me... | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
-He's really knowledgeable about this stuff, actually. -Yeah. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
Normally retails that for 60 quid on its own. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
-Yeah. -OK. -But if we bought all three, we could have them for 95. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
Executive decision, Ference. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
-Let's do it. -Shall we? -Yes! | 0:22:04 | 0:22:05 | |
-Go for the jugs? -Absolutely! | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
-Right, I like them. -Done. Let's do it. -Really? -Yeah. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
-We'll go and pay him? -Absolutely. -Fabulous. Well done. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
These guys have cracked it! | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
Final item in the bag with plenty of time left. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
Well, that's it, guys, all done. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
The final curtain! | 0:22:19 | 0:22:20 | |
Right! | 0:22:20 | 0:22:21 | |
-Take a bow, you've been brilliant! -Thank you very much. -Thank you. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:24 | |
-And £185 spent. -Great stuff. -I think we've done well. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
-We're done, we're finished, let's go. -Great! -Come on. -OK. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
Great team effort, Reds. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:32 | |
Now, Nicola has found something that's put a smile on her face. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
Is it the ottoman or the wine? | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
So what do you think of this? | 0:22:38 | 0:22:39 | |
-I love this! -Her face is glowing, Mum! | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
-Love it. -Brilliant. Well, it's obviously - | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
what I was growing up - known as an ottoman. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
My mum had one at the bottom of the bed, storing blankets in it. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
But, you know, if you have an ottoman at the bottom of your bed, | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
-do you want blankets in it? -No. -No! What do you want in it? | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
-Wine! -Wine! So, look at that - this has been cleverly converted. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
-They've put a zinc liner in there. -Mm-hm. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
And that could possibly be watertight. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
So you could probably have ice in there. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
OK. So you could chill the wine? | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
-Yes. -A bit indulgent, and a lot of space for a lot of wine! -Yeah. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
But it's a fun piece, isn't it? | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
-It is, it's nice. -Yeah. You like that, Nicola? -I love that, yes. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
-Do you? -Yes. -Does this tell us anything about her, Mum? | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
Ooh... I don't want to say anything! | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
-LAUGHTER -Mum's the word, obviously! | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
-Definitely! -Shall we find out from the stallholder...? -Yes, please. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:29 | |
Right. These two young ladies are interested in | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
a couple of your items here. But interestingly, well, first of all, | 0:23:32 | 0:23:36 | |
we can't see a price on it, Les. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
-This is 75. -75 quid. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
-Without the bottles. -What would be the death on that, Les? | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
-60. -60 quid. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
And that one's got 65. What about that? | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
I could do that one for 50 for you. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
50 and 60, girls. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
So, what are you thinking? | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
-Now we know the price, Nicola? -Yes! -I'm still... | 0:23:53 | 0:23:57 | |
-She still likes it. -She likes that, doesn't she? -I really like that. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
And we said the last piece we would try and agree on. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
Exactly, yeah. No, I like both of them, so I'd be happy with that. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:06 | |
-This is also a chair! -It's also a chair. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
-You could possibly lay down on there as well. -After! -After! | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
I think you've sold it, Les. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
-There we are. £60. -Did we say 60? -£60. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
Fantastic, ladies! You've boxed up your final item. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
Right, teams, your time is up! | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
I think I need to get you two inside for a well-earned cup of tea. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
Or perhaps something stronger! | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
Now, let's remind ourselves just what the Red team have bought. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
First up, a peach Art Deco ceiling shade, | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
lighting up at £30. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
They pulled some strings to buy a set of Pelham puppets for £60. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:43 | |
And finally, a show-stopping set of three fat lava vases, | 0:24:44 | 0:24:49 | |
£95 was paid. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
Well, Ference and Jack, once in the theatre, | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
-always in the theatre! -Something like that! -Absolutely! | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
Ference, which item do you like best? | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
Um, I think the puppets. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
-You think the puppets? -Yes, yeah. That's my favourite, definitely. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
-And Jack? -I'll have to side with him on that. I used to collect them, | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
-so I've got a soft spot for the puppets. -Of course you did, yeah. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
And what will make the biggest profit? | 0:25:10 | 0:25:11 | |
-Do you know, I think it's going to be that lava. -It has to be. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
-It's going to be the lava. -You think the lava? | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
-I still think the puppets, actually. -OK. -Puppets, lava. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
You spent 185, which is a pretty good spend. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
-Yeah. -But it does leave 115. -It does. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
-So if you'd like to hand that over. -A nice wad for you, sir. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
-Ference, -I -need it. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
-Oh, sorry. -I just need to pass it on with some words of wisdom. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
-Right. -Spend wisely. On what? | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
Well, I'm going to find something with a bit of quality about it, | 0:25:35 | 0:25:39 | |
I think. We're going to Canterbury, so something with a tale, maybe. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
-Oh! Wonderful! -I like it. I like it. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
So, while Nick goes off to give us a bit of Chaucer, | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
we'll check out what the Blue team have bought. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
Firstly, they sewed up a deal | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
on this 19th-century oak sewing box for £60. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
This late Victorian double-ended ruby glass scent bottle | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
was theirs for £90. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
And finally, this converted, upholstered ottoman | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
caught Nicola's eye. £60 was paid. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |
Kathy and Nicola, good disciplined performance, if I may say so! | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
-It was. It was. -Thank you very much. -Did you enjoy it? | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
-Very much so. -Very much, yeah. -Good! You spent plenty of money. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
-We did. -What's your favourite lot? | 0:26:20 | 0:26:22 | |
I think they all are, really. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
-They all are? -Yeah, yeah. -What a lovely, even choice. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
-Cover everything. -The cellaret! -The cellaret? -Yes. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
Well, it is a bit unusual, isn't it? | 0:26:29 | 0:26:30 | |
-Yes, very. -Very! -We normally put blankets in ottomans! | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
But you put bottles in there. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:35 | |
-What will make the biggest profit, do you think? -Oh... | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
I think probably that. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:40 | |
-You think that? -Yeah, I think it will fly. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
Unanimity, marvellous. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:43 | |
Well, anything to do with bottles is likely to fly, isn't it, really? | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
-Yeah. I think so, yeah. -Now, you spent £210, didn't you? | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
-That's right, we did. -That's a good chunk, but it still leaves 90. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
-Yes. -Hand it over. -There you go. -There we go. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
-And you know what happens to this, don't you? -Yes. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
-It goes to this man here. -Mm-hm! -£90 of the best. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
What are you going to do with that? | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
Well, given their interest in gardening, | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
I thought something horticultural. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
-Marvellous. -Wow. -Spot on. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
So, while John goes off to buy some flowers, we're off to the auction! | 0:27:09 | 0:27:13 | |
Just down the road from Detling is the Canterbury Auction Galleries. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
And I'm here with today's auctioneer Cliona. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
-Hello. -Hello, very nice to see you. -Well, it's great to be here. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
Now, what about these Reds, what do you think of their ceiling light, | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
which was their first purchase? | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
Not with the original chains. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
It's not necessarily the 1930s in date, it's in that sort of style. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:45 | |
-Yeah. -But it's a nice decorative thing, | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
make a nice feature in any room. We've put £10-£15 on it. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:51 | |
Yeah. Well, they paid 30. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:52 | |
-That's all right. -So a couple of extra bids, and they'll be fine. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
-Yeah. -Now, Pelham puppets, they sell, don't they? | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
They do. Um, especially some of the earlier ones. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
-Yeah. -And that skeleton, he's in his original box... | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
-Yeah. -..um, and probably dating to sort of around the 1950s. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:09 | |
He is in a bit of a tangle, so if you've got a few hours... | 0:28:09 | 0:28:12 | |
-THEY LAUGH -..to untangle him! | 0:28:12 | 0:28:14 | |
Have you not done that for us! | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
So what about an estimate on these Pelham puppets? | 0:28:17 | 0:28:19 | |
For all of them, we put £40-£60. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
Yeah. Well, they paid £60, so looks like they might be safe there. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:27 | |
Now, what about the cylindrical vases, the German vases, the lava? | 0:28:27 | 0:28:31 | |
-It's very of a period. -Yes. -Very sort of 1970s. -Yeah. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:36 | |
Whether it's going to be everybody's cup of tea is | 0:28:36 | 0:28:39 | |
a difficult one to say. I've only put £20-30 on them. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:42 | |
They just don't do anything for me. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:44 | |
But I have seen them make money. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:46 | |
Hopefully, there will be collectors out there, um, | 0:28:46 | 0:28:49 | |
and we'll get to the £20 at least. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:51 | |
I hope we get to the £20, because they paid 95! | 0:28:51 | 0:28:55 | |
-Oh, dear! -LAUGHTER | 0:28:55 | 0:28:57 | |
Well, never mind! Moving swiftly on! | 0:28:57 | 0:28:59 | |
After that pottery, I think we might need a bonus buy. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:02 | |
Let's have a look at it. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:03 | |
Well, Ference and Jack, you did a good bit of spending, | 0:29:04 | 0:29:06 | |
but you still left that man with quite a lot of money | 0:29:06 | 0:29:09 | |
and it looks like he's bought something absolutely enormous! | 0:29:09 | 0:29:11 | |
-I know! -Well, now, I did say, as we were coming into Canterbury, | 0:29:11 | 0:29:15 | |
I would buy you something with a tale. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:18 | |
And I would not let you down. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:20 | |
-How about that? -Wow! -Wow! | 0:29:20 | 0:29:22 | |
It's a leather pig, in the Liberty manner. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:26 | |
-Right. -Actually, they're footstools, is what they are, for the lounge. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:29 | |
-Oh, OK. -So, what do you think? | 0:29:29 | 0:29:31 | |
Well, as long as it brings home the bacon... | 0:29:31 | 0:29:33 | |
-GROANING -I am so sorry! | 0:29:33 | 0:29:35 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:29:35 | 0:29:37 | |
-How much did you pay for it? -Er, the princely sum of £110. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:42 | |
-OK. -O...K. And what are you thinking at auction? | 0:29:42 | 0:29:45 | |
-Er, about 20! -LAUGHTER | 0:29:45 | 0:29:47 | |
-Right, that's done, then! -It's one of those home furnishing things. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:50 | |
-These are luxury goods. -I think he's fun, though, he's great. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:53 | |
-Yeah. -It's a fun item. -Yes! | 0:29:53 | 0:29:54 | |
The sort of thing a lot of people will be bidding on, hopefully, | 0:29:54 | 0:29:57 | |
to take home to furnish their lounge with, put their feet up. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:00 | |
Is it a pig or a dog? | 0:30:00 | 0:30:01 | |
It's actually one of those rare pig dog breeds! | 0:30:01 | 0:30:04 | |
-Ah, yes. -The lesser-known Canterbury pig dog(!) | 0:30:04 | 0:30:07 | |
You don't have to make up your mind now, chaps. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:09 | |
Leave it to the auction. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:11 | |
I just wonder what the auctioneer thinks of this pig dog? | 0:30:11 | 0:30:14 | |
So, Cliona, what do you think of Nick's pig? | 0:30:16 | 0:30:18 | |
-The pig with the long snout? -Yes, it is it a dog or is it a pig? | 0:30:18 | 0:30:21 | |
Um, well, I think we've just gone with pig. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
-Yeah. -In that Liberty style. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:25 | |
-Yeah. -Now, the Libertys do make quite a bit of money. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
So I think, as a fun, interior decorator's piece, | 0:30:28 | 0:30:32 | |
or to the younger generations, I think it could appeal. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:36 | |
We've put £40-£50 on him. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:38 | |
Nick did spend £110 on it! | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
Well! | 0:30:41 | 0:30:43 | |
Obviously, with the £40-£50, we're not quite up there... | 0:30:43 | 0:30:47 | |
-No! -..but nothing would surprise me if he, um... | 0:30:47 | 0:30:50 | |
if he flies away and, er, takes us by surprise. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
-A flying pig! -The flying pig! | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |
Now, onto the Blues. Nicola and Kath. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:58 | |
They were with John. And they kicked off with this box, the oak box. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:03 | |
-Well, it's a plain panelled oak box. -Yeah. -Probably Victorian. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
With plated mounts on it. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:08 | |
-It is what it is. -Yeah. -We've only put sort of £10-£15 on it. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:13 | |
They paid £60 for it. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:15 | |
-Right, OK. -It's quite a lot of money for an oak box, isn't it? -It is. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:18 | |
I mean, I suppose it could be used as a sewing box, | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
-a work box or something of that nature. -Yeah. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:22 | |
-We'll do our best to make the profit. -Splendid, I'm sure you will. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
Now, Nicola chose the next lot. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:27 | |
-I like this scent bottle. -Yes. Yes, it's a very attractive | 0:31:27 | 0:31:31 | |
late-Victorian cranberry glass and silver mounted scent bottle. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
-Yeah. -I rather fear I have been a bit mean. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:37 | |
I have been admonished by members here... | 0:31:37 | 0:31:40 | |
-Have you? -..saying why was I so mean at £8-£10... -£8- £10! | 0:31:40 | 0:31:45 | |
I think that probably is a fair comment. It should exceed that. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
Have you missed a nought off? 80-100. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 | |
Let's hope we do put a nought onto that estimate. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |
-Well, they paid £90, so they'll be very grateful if you could! -OK. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:55 | |
-I'm sure they would! -And you very kindly called their third item, | 0:31:55 | 0:32:00 | |
which is what I would describe as a wardrobe bottom, as an ottoman. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:04 | |
-Which I suppose it is. -Well, yes. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
We're there to sell these things as best as we can! | 0:32:06 | 0:32:09 | |
Somebody, has cleverly converted it with the leather top on it. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:12 | |
-Yeah. -You know, maybe there is some potential in it, | 0:32:12 | 0:32:15 | |
with a slightly different covering and painting it and whatever. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:18 | |
But at £10-£15, that was the best I could come up with that. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:22 | |
Yeah, yeah. Well, they paid £60. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:25 | |
-Good luck! -Good luck. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:27 | |
I think they could be needing their bonus buy, tee-hee! | 0:32:27 | 0:32:31 | |
Let's have a look at it. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:33 | |
Well, Nicola and Kath, you left this very smart man with £90 to spend. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:38 | |
-Too much! -Too much, do you think? Well, what have you done, John? | 0:32:38 | 0:32:41 | |
WELL, following my love of wood and kitchenalia... | 0:32:41 | 0:32:46 | |
-I bought this! -Ooh! -This weird and wonderful thing. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:49 | |
Look at you both! | 0:32:49 | 0:32:50 | |
Even Charlie's thinking, "What is it?!" | 0:32:50 | 0:32:53 | |
-What is it? -Yeah, what is it? -Well, interestingly, the jury's out. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:56 | |
It was suggested that it's some form of juicer or I think... | 0:32:56 | 0:32:59 | |
I mean, that certainly is a good shout for me. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:01 | |
Put your fruit in there and give it a good sort of pummel there. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:04 | |
But I love carved wood, it's good, it's got some age to it. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:07 | |
-So how much did you pay for it? -I paid £40 for it. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:11 | |
£40? How much do you think it would make? | 0:33:11 | 0:33:13 | |
Well, I'm hoping it will make that and a little bit more, actually! | 0:33:13 | 0:33:17 | |
-Well, we hope that as well! -Yes! | 0:33:17 | 0:33:19 | |
Girls, you don't have to make up your mind now. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:21 | |
Leave it until the auction. | 0:33:21 | 0:33:22 | |
But I just wonder what the auctioneer thinks about this... | 0:33:22 | 0:33:26 | |
Juicer? | 0:33:26 | 0:33:28 | |
Well, I left John quite a lot of money - £90, I think - | 0:33:28 | 0:33:30 | |
and he went off and all that. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:32 | |
-Right. -Can you describe it for me? | 0:33:32 | 0:33:34 | |
Because I am at a bit of a loss here, Cliona. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:37 | |
Um, a wooden container, rectangular on the outside, | 0:33:37 | 0:33:41 | |
cylindrical on the inside, a few holes at the bottom... | 0:33:41 | 0:33:44 | |
-Two handles! -Well done! | 0:33:44 | 0:33:46 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:33:46 | 0:33:47 | |
-What on earth was it used for? -Truly, I feel it was more | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
-for ornamental purposes than anything else. -Yeah. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:53 | |
I'm at a loss whether you put something that would drain away. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:57 | |
John thought it was a juicer. | 0:33:57 | 0:33:59 | |
I suppose you could ram the odd orange in there, couldn't you? | 0:33:59 | 0:34:02 | |
But you wouldn't particularly want | 0:34:02 | 0:34:04 | |
-to drink what came out of the bottom, would you? -Perhaps not. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:06 | |
Um, but a Near Eastern thing, I don't think it's terribly old. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:10 | |
-We've put £5-£10 on it. -Yeah. Yeah. You never know, of course. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:13 | |
He paid £40 for that. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:15 | |
So, what do you think? | 0:34:15 | 0:34:18 | |
-Well, it's a decorative piece, isn't it? -Yeah. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:20 | |
You know, you've got the nice carving on the handles. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:23 | |
-We'll do our best. -Yeah, I'm sure you will. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:26 | |
-So you'll be taking the sale? -Yes, I am. -Good, I'm looking forward to it. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:29 | |
They couldn't be in safer hands! | 0:34:29 | 0:34:31 | |
Straight in on the internet... Ten we have. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:38 | |
Now, Ference and Jack, are you regular visitors to an auction room? | 0:34:38 | 0:34:42 | |
-First time. -What do you make of it? -It's wonderful. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:44 | |
I love the atmosphere. It's very theatrical, actually, isn't it? | 0:34:44 | 0:34:47 | |
It is theatrical. Now, kicking off with that ceiling light, cost £30. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:51 | |
Confident? | 0:34:51 | 0:34:52 | |
-Not a lot of money for... -No. -It's a bit of Art Deco. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:55 | |
You think that'll be all right. Well, anyway, here it comes. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:58 | |

they wouldn't believe you! So there you go! | 0:38:00 | 0:38:01 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:38:01 | 0:38:03 | |
Nicola and Kath, something tells me about your demeanour, | 0:38:08 | 0:38:11 | |
that you've never been in an auction before? | 0:38:11 | 0:38:14 | |
-No. -Never. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:15 | |
-What do you think of it? -Well, it... -So far, it's quite exciting! | 0:38:15 | 0:38:20 | |
-You sound rather nervous, darling. -I am. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:22 | |
Anyway, the rectangular work box | 0:38:22 | 0:38:25 | |
-is a pretty thing, isn't it? -It's a lovely thing. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:27 | |

Lot number 217 is the late-Victorian silver mounted and cranberry glass | 0:39:08 | 0:39:13 | |
double-ended scent bottle. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:14 | |
Going to open up at £35 now. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:16 | |

Well done, £90. | 0:39:39 | 0:39:41 | |
You've broken even, well done. | 0:39:41 | 0:39:42 | |
Phew! | 0:39:42 | 0:39:43 | |
So, actually, you're only minus 30. Here comes | 0:39:43 | 0:39:47 | |
the lot you so like, the ottoman. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:49 | |

At £10, then. Are we all done at £10? | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
There'll be a lot of "whining" if it doesn't make more money. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:04 | |
GAVEL BANGS | 0:40:04 | 0:40:05 | |

and £50 on the ottoman, which is £80. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:14 | |
You washed your face on the other. You are minus £80. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:16 | |
What do you want to do with John's extraordinary item? | 0:40:16 | 0:40:20 | |
-Yes, we're going to go for it. -You're going to go for it? | 0:40:20 | 0:40:22 | |
-Definitely. -Are you sure? -Yes, yes. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:24 | |
-It's here. -Oh! -Look, here it is. Doesn't it look splendid? | 0:40:24 | 0:40:28 | |
Lot number 222 is the Near Eastern carved wood rectangular container. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:32 | |
The two-handled container there. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:33 | |
Who'll start me here at £5? | 0:40:33 | 0:40:35 | |
£5 I'm looking for. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:37 | |
£5 I'm bid, thank you very much. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:39 | |
Who's in at 10 now? Any interest at £10? | 0:40:39 | 0:40:42 | |
-10 we have. -10! | 0:40:42 | 0:40:44 | |

They seem to be out, £25. We'll give them a chance. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:56 | |
25 it is here in the saleroom. Anybody else in the room bidding? | 0:40:56 | 0:40:59 | |
Looking for £30, I do have the 25, I will sell. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:02 | |
If we're all done at £25? | 0:41:02 | 0:41:04 | |
If we're sure? | 0:41:04 | 0:41:06 | |
-Oh! -Minus 15. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:08 | |
Well... | 0:41:08 | 0:41:10 | |
the positive way of looking at that is that you've had a cracking time | 0:41:10 | 0:41:13 | |
and you haven't even lost £100. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:16 | |
-No, I think that's very good. -Just 95(!) | 0:41:16 | 0:41:18 | |
-Golden gavel's out, then? -Yes, you won't be getting a golden gavel. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:21 | |
We assume we're not getting one. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:23 | |
It may come as a shock to you, but, you know, three losses | 0:41:23 | 0:41:26 | |
and a break even doesn't, sadly, give you a golden gavel. | 0:41:26 | 0:41:30 | |
It gives you absolutely nothing other than huge satisfaction | 0:41:30 | 0:41:33 | |
-that you might have beaten the Red team. -Yeah. -Yes. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:36 | |
Cos they may have lost more than 95, so don't discuss it with them. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:39 | |
-No, not at all. -Later on, we'll find out. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:42 | |
It's a funny thing, Bargain Hunt, isn't it? | 0:41:47 | 0:41:50 | |
You know, both teams are given £300. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:53 | |
The idea is that they both spend wisely and make a good profit. | 0:41:53 | 0:41:57 | |
In this case, one of them has managed it wholeheartedly. | 0:41:57 | 0:42:00 | |
The other one has been, frankly, an abject disaster. | 0:42:00 | 0:42:04 | |
But, of course, we don't have losers, we have runners up. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:06 | |
And, by some absolutely enormous margin today, | 0:42:06 | 0:42:10 | |
the Blues are the runners up. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:12 | |
Because I'm afraid you lost £95. | 0:42:12 | 0:42:15 | |
It just went loss, loss, loss. | 0:42:15 | 0:42:18 | |
Anyway, you two haven't got much to be smug about, have you? | 0:42:18 | 0:42:20 | |
-LAUGHTER -Well... | 0:42:20 | 0:42:22 | |
You were masters of the loss yourselves! | 0:42:22 | 0:42:24 | |
In fact, you were £60 down, until it came to the great man there. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:28 | |
-Yes! -Absolutely! -What did he do? He bought a shiny leather pig. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:31 | |
-Yeah! -He paid £110 for a pig! Most people thought he was bonkers. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:34 | |
The auctioneer thought he was bonkers. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:36 | |
-£300! -Amazing. -So, I think that's just remarkable. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:40 | |
That's a profit of £190 on one pig. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
Take off your miserable loss, of course... | 0:42:43 | 0:42:45 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:42:45 | 0:42:46 | |
..and it reduces your profit down to £130. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:50 | |
-Ah, thank you! -And there it is. -Thank you! | 0:42:50 | 0:42:52 | |
-Have you had a good time? -We've had a wonderful time. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:54 | |
We've had a great time, haven't we? And don't forget to have | 0:42:54 | 0:42:57 | |
