0:00:04 > 0:00:07Hello. I'm off to Wetherby Racecourse.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09But there's no racing today.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Instead, they're hosting a huge antique and collectors' fair.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16And we have two teams under starter's orders.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20So, let's giddy-up, and let's go bargain-hunting!
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Here at the racecourse in Wetherby
0:00:52 > 0:00:53there are plenty of stalls for our
0:00:53 > 0:00:55teams to canter round.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57And they've got £300
0:00:57 > 0:01:01and just one hour in which to buy three items to take off to auction -
0:01:01 > 0:01:03and hopefully make a profit.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Let's have a sneaky peek at what's coming up.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09There's pressure in the Red camp...
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I'm nearly panicking, and for me that's not normal!
0:01:12 > 0:01:14We'll find summat, definitely.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16We'll find something, yes.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18And if not,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20it's a panic buy!
0:01:21 > 0:01:23And tension in the Blues...
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I personally would like to buy it.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27And I personally wouldn't.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- I can sense a row! I can sense a row!- We're having a domestic!
0:01:32 > 0:01:34So it should be a lively auction for the Reds.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- £50. 55.- Hurray!
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- 60.- And also for the Blues.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I'm going to start you on the book at £100.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Get in! Take a break, Charlie!
0:01:44 > 0:01:45That's all for later.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Two married couples.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52And for the Reds we have Annette and Andy.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Hello.- And for the Blues we have Tom and Trevor.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Hello!- Hello!- Way! - Oh, my goodness gracious me!
0:01:58 > 0:02:01There's bags of enthusiasm going on here, isn't there?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Now, Annette, how did you meet Andy?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05We met in a pub.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10- Yes.- I was with one chap but then I looked at the chap I was with and he
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- pointed out Andy.- Yeah.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17And I decided I didn't like the chap I was with, so I picked Andy!
0:02:17 > 0:02:20And I've been lumbered ever since!
0:02:20 > 0:02:21So did you propose?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- No!- No?
0:02:23 > 0:02:24No.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26One day I came home from work.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Yeah.- After 30 years of being together.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- Yeah.- And she says to me, "Sign this paper, will you?"
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I says, "What's it for?" She says, "We're getting married!"
0:02:33 > 0:02:35I said, "When?" She said, "Oh, in about a couple of months."
0:02:35 > 0:02:38So with these forms, she took them down to the office, that were it, done.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Now, you're retired now, aren't you?
0:02:41 > 0:02:42- Yes.- Enjoying that?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Oh, definitely, yeah.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46What do you fill your days with?
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Television and shopping.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Television and shopping? - Yeah, perfect.- Bargain Hunt, I hope?
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Twice a day.- Twice a day!- Yes. - That's my girl! That's wonderful.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56What about antiques, Andy, what do you know about antiques?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Well, I like Victorian antiques.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- Do you?- I like clocks especially.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04But normally, if we're going to buy anything,
0:03:04 > 0:03:05I've got to ask her permission.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Because she's more of an expert than me.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10And I'm not an expert.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- What do you like?- Victoriana.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Well, you've got unanimity there, haven't you?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16She likes silver as well.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I do. But he doesn't let me get that, it's silver plate!
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Can't afford the real thing!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Certainly not!- I look at it!
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Any tactics? You going to spend big, small?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Well, I'm a tight person, so we're spending small.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33We've ascertained that already, I think!
0:03:33 > 0:03:36And he's so tight he won't let me spend big, but I'll try, I'll try.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Well, you'll have a lot of fun shopping, I'm sure.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40- We will, yeah.- Thank you, Reds.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Now, over to the Blues.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Tom and Trevor. Are you geared up for this experience?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Raring to go!- Splendid. Now, you're retired now, Tom, aren't you?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Yes, that's right.- What did you use to do?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I used to work in the wholesale trade, supplying retail shops
0:03:53 > 0:03:56all over Yorkshire with toys, stationery, greeting cards.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Right.- Things like that.- Right.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Good. And, Trevor, what about you?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I used to work in hotels as a chef.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I worked down in London at Claridge's.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07- Claridge's?- Yes.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Oh, very posh!- Well, it wasn't where I was,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12in the kitchens, steaming away!
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Did you ever get up above ground and meet some interesting people?
0:04:15 > 0:04:21When I was in Sheffield I was in a hotel which was closed because
0:04:21 > 0:04:24the Beatles were performing across the road.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27They ran into the hotel reception after the show,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30the doors were locked, so we were all just sat together
0:04:30 > 0:04:33chatting away until they would open the doors and let us out,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35because I needed to go home, like the rest of the staff.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Fantastic. So you met more famous people up in Yorkshire than you did in Claridge's?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41It all happens in Yorkshire, yes!
0:04:41 > 0:04:43That's wonderful. What do you know about antiques, Tom?
0:04:43 > 0:04:49- To be honest, all my knowledge about antiques comes from BBC programmes like this.- Yeah.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50I watch them religiously.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52What about tactics, team?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54The idea is for Trevor to do actually all of the bartering.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Yeah.- Because he has this sort of knack with people.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- Does he?- To try and get things for nothing, or the very, very,
0:05:01 > 0:05:02very minimum price.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05This is the perfect Bargain Hunt combination, isn't it?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- It is, yes.- You choose it with your eye, and the Rottweiler goes in...
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I've got to get a golden gavel.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Do you know what this is? Yes! - I've got to get... Yes!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- This is in your sights, team! - It's in our sights, yes.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I can't see any way you can fail!
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Well, thank you very much. - So, what are you missing?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Money!- Yes, money.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Sharp as a razor! Money makes the world go round.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29It certainly does. And I've got £300 for you.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Wonderful, thank you.- How exciting is that!
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Off you go shopping, have a great time.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- Thank you very much. - So, there we have it.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37The Blues are completely focused,
0:05:37 > 0:05:40and the Reds I don't think really want to spend any money.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42So who's going to win?
0:05:43 > 0:05:47So all our teams need now are some experts.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51On the lookout with the Reds, it's...
0:05:53 > 0:05:56And roll up, roll up, it's Philip Serrell with the Blues.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Annette, Andy, what are you shopping for? What are we buying today?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I want things that jump out at me.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Is there any plan as to what we're going to buy?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Yeah, I'm personally looking for things like tin toys and clockwork toys, things like that.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I'm looking for clocks, especially grandfather clocks.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15I love grandfather clocks.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19It's got to be something that I fancy, catches my eye.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Right, teams, your time starts
0:06:21 > 0:06:23NOW!
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Come on, let's go.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Come on, let's go and find something.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Hope I didn't deafen you all at home!
0:06:32 > 0:06:3460 minutes and counting down, teams.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Clock's ticking, this is it!
0:06:37 > 0:06:39If there's anything that takes your fancy, stop.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43We're clear on the Blues' plan.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44So what's jumping out to Annette?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48See, I like those measures, but I like them in boxes, you know.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I get that, you want a proper graded set, don't you?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Yes.- Yeah.- There's plenty of time to find some.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Blues, these are definitely eye-watering...
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I mean, catching.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Yeah, we could go to a Hogmanay!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I think that's enough of that!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Reds, how are you doing?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09My heavens, I'd get a lot of jam in that one!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Crikey!- The amount of jam you're making, yeah!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I like the sound of that, Annette!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Blues, do you think these will hold a profit?
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- What about the trunks, do you like the trunks?- I do, I like trunks.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Yeah.- How old do you think that is?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24About 1940s, I should think.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- I can't even see a ticket price on there.- Yes, there's a ticket price.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Oh, there it is down here. 85.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Yeah, I could do you something on that. A good price on that.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- How much is good? - I'll do you 65 on that.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Then let's start at 30.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Oh, no!- Blimey!- 35. - No, no, no, no.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Come down a bit, then, and then you'll sell it.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- No, no, no, no. - Have you had it long?
0:07:42 > 0:07:43No, it's the first time out.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Well, let's take it off your hands straightaway, then!
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Tom, why would you buy that?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52I think it's one of those sort of decorator's pieces that would look
0:07:52 > 0:07:55really good in either a modern house or a very traditional house.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57And I think it's so useful.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I think that's actually what they call shabby chic.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01And they don't come much shabbier than us, really, do they?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- No, no.- Well, speaking for myself!
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I have a price in my head, but I'd start and say 45.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11If you'd take 45, we'd take it off you now.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- We honestly will.- I'm not going to make any profit!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Well, you are. You're going to... You will make a profit,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19you wouldn't sell it if you're not going to make a profit.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- 45.- 50.- Correct!
0:08:21 > 0:08:22That's what I thought of.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Great.- I'll shake your hand as well, thank you very much indeed.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Trevor wasn't joking when he said he was a tough negotiator!
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Well, chaps, I tell you what... - Good start!
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- It's not going to take too long, this, is it?- No. Well...
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Watch your step, Trevor! You might be right, Phil!
0:08:38 > 0:08:40First item in the bag in ten minutes.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41What's Andy pointing at?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43That thing there, what do you think of that?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Not quite sure what it's made of, though, are you?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48What is it made of? It has to be lead, doesn't it?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- It does, yeah.- And do you know what? That is lead.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55- It's heavy, isn't it?- I reckon that's going to have a good few hundred pounds on it.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- We could buy its hand, maybe! - Yeah.- Oh, well, never mind.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Bad luck, Reds.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Blues, is this sign going to be item number two?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- How much is that, please?- 150.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10That's an "ouch" for me.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14I think 150's a lot to pay for it, personally.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15It is, yeah.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18I think it's a really cool thing, though.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21It's so memorable for people of our generation,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23who've grown up with FW Woolworth.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Let's just dial this down a bit, right?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28If you buy it, what on earth are you going to do with it?
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Again, it's one of those sort of kitchen-type things that you put in.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I think you should think whether you want to buy it or not.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I personally would like to buy it.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37I personally wouldn't.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I can sense a row!
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- I can sense a row! - Yeah. We're having a domestic!
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Yeah.- So what would you buy it for, then?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47I would say 100, maximum.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49My ceiling's 100.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52100?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Thank you. Thank you. - Thank you very much, my friend,
0:09:55 > 0:09:56you've been kind to us.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Thank you very much indeed, sir, you are very, very good to us.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Gosh! Trevor does stick to his guns!
0:10:01 > 0:10:05The generous stallholder has knocked £50 off the asking price and that
0:10:05 > 0:10:08has made it 2-nil with just over 25 minutes on the clock.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Under half an hour and we've bought two items.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I think they've bought great things but, blimey,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15they really are tough negotiators!
0:10:15 > 0:10:18But you never know, golden gavels, here we come!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Well, the verdict's looking good from Phil!
0:10:21 > 0:10:22Tom and Trevor, what about you?
0:10:22 > 0:10:26I think we're getting to the gist of how this is supposed to be done, you know.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29We are really trying to focus on what we think is going to make
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- a profit.- Yes, we want a golden gavel each.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Yeah, definitely, yeah!
0:10:36 > 0:10:38So the Blues are brimming with confidence.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40But the Reds are struggling to find their feet.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44I don't think there's anything at all to take our fancy yet, is there?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Don't panic, Reds, just focus!
0:10:47 > 0:10:49You've had half your shopping time!
0:10:49 > 0:10:53There's so many things, I can't believe how many things!
0:10:53 > 0:10:56There's so many things, but there's nothing I really like!
0:10:56 > 0:10:58What we're looking for... we're looking for clocks,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00but apparently clocks don't exist here today!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03We've scoured the grounds, nada, nothing.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I'm nearly panicking, and for me that's not normal!
0:11:06 > 0:11:08But we'll find summat, definitely.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10We'll find something, yeah.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12And if not,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14it's a panic buy!
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Get looking, then, Reds!
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I'm going to leave the teams to it
0:11:19 > 0:11:21and find out about a unique Yorkshire game.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30I'm joined by Katina,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34curator of the Kirklees Museums and Galleries here in Yorkshire.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Now, Katina, you have brought along a symbol of Yorkshire-ness for us,
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- haven't you?- I have, yes.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- This is knur and spell. - Knur and spell?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Yes. Any idea what it might actually be, Charlie?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Well, I'm looking here, and I can see some balls down there,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52which makes me think it's some sort of game.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53You're absolutely right.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57This was really popular here in Yorkshire in the 19th century...
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Yeah?- ..and into the 20th century.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01- Yeah.- This is the spell.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03This is a trap.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06And it has a spring mechanism here.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Yes.- Into this little area here,
0:12:09 > 0:12:10you place a knur...
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Yeah.- These are the balls.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15These ceramic ones were called potties.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17That goes in the top of there.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21When, it's loaded, it launches the ball into the air.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Yeah.- And then you hit the ball as far as you can
0:12:24 > 0:12:27with one of these sticks, or pummels.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31CHEERING
0:12:31 > 0:12:32You got it, lad.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35'And who wins? How do you win?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37'It's whoever hits the ball furthest. And enough times.'
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I was going to say, it's whoever hits the ball at all.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41It must be very difficult.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45It does seem to be quite a hard game, yes.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48But the champions, obviously, were very successful.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50'So who would have played the game?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53'It was men from the local industrial towns and villages.'
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Yes, you got it!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57'So the coal miners, textile workers.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00'Was this a popular game, or was it just rivalry between chums?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03'Oh, it was very much a spectator sport.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06'We have reports of up to 3,000 people.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- '3,000 people?- Indeed, yes.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13'They apparently even laid on special trains to bring people.'
0:13:13 > 0:13:15CHEERING
0:13:15 > 0:13:17HE SHOUTS
0:13:17 > 0:13:19So what have we got here? The scorebook?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21This is the scorebook, yes.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25The point scoring, you said, was a point...?
0:13:25 > 0:13:26For every 20 yards.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- For every 20 yards?- Yes.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31But that's absolutely extraordinary.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34There are some scores here. Nine, 11, 13.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37That's 260 yards.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- Yeah.- That's massive.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41That's a big golf whack, isn't it?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44It is. It was called the poor man's golf.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Gosh. And they, looking at these scores, were very good at it.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Yes.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51You got it, lad.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Well, Katina, I know I'm not allowed to use those because they're rather
0:13:54 > 0:13:57precious, but you won't have noticed, but under here...
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- I've tucked a golf club.- Ah!
0:14:01 > 0:14:04If you release that, can I see if I can hit it with this?
0:14:04 > 0:14:05- Give it a go, shall I?- Please?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I'm feeling very confident.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10This is going to go 260 yards.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Let it rip, Katina.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- Let it rip. - Should I put a bet on that?
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Yes, I should put any amount you want on this.- 5p!
0:14:18 > 0:14:205p!
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Whack!
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Oh, dear.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Do you know, it's not quite as easy as you think it is, is it?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28You've lost me 5p.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Thank you very much indeed.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- That was great, great fun. - Thank you.
0:14:32 > 0:14:38Well, I'm in heaven, really. It's a mixture of sport and antiques.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Back to the shopping. So far,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47the Blues think they're on track for a golden gavel, and they are 2-0 up.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49With 35 minutes on the clock,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52I think the Reds might finally have tracked down a clock.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56That's a smart clock.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58And I would call that a strut clock
0:14:58 > 0:15:00because it's supported by that easel.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Oh, right, yeah, yeah.- By that back.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Cast brass frame, very elaborate.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08It's taken a knock, and the porcelain is fractured.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Maybe not catastrophic. You've got to decide yourself whether you think
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- you could live with it or not.- Yeah.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Pull that back off...- Does it work or not? That's the main thing now.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Well, your balance wheel, hairspring there - see that?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- Yeah.- That's all come untangled.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26But we... It ain't a runner.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28The truth of the matter is,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31a good percentage of clocks of this age are going to need some work done
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- on them anyway. - True, true.- Yeah, yeah.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36And to an extent, these are bought as ornaments.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40It's still got to be worth 30, 40, £50.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- How much?- Surely.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Who's going to ask? - How much is this, mate?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47How much is this?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49£30.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51£30.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53It was 40, he's saying, you can have it for 30.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55If you really like it, we will go for it, then.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Yeah. Yeah, I do really like it.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59It just me being tight, that's all, isn't it?
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Well, the aim of the game is to try and make a profit, Andy.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Excuse me, can I be really, really cheeky?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Could you take 25?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10OK, then.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Thank you very much.- Thanks, mate.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15One down, we've got our clock, let's keep going.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Pop it there and we will keep going.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Yes, keep going. But the Reds finally have their first item.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22And with just 20 minutes left,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26has Paul spotted something else on the same stall?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Oh, that's pretty. - It's pretty, but what is it?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32That is from Carlton Ware's
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Best Ware range.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40- Right.- So, back in the 1930s, this was as good as they produced.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- Yeah.- It's 65?- 68 now.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46I think you want to pay no more than 50 for that, in my opinion.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- Yeah.- You know me, I'm tight.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I'll go with the...
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Of course, try at 50 and see, yeah.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- And see what we can do, yeah. - Try it.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Good luck with the price, Andy.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Now, what have the Blues been drawn to?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Do you like that?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Yes. It's got a strange thing about it, yeah.- Let's just take a look.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08What's the absolute finish on this?
0:17:08 > 0:17:1145 would be the absolute finish.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Feel the weight of that.- Never mind the quality, feel the weight.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18It's a little office cabinet. A little office set of drawers.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Probably for card index drawers or something like that.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23If they really wanted it, would 40 quid buy it?
0:17:23 > 0:17:27It wouldn't, Philip. 65 retail money, 45 to you.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- That's the finish?- Yeah.- You've got a bit of doubt, haven't you?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Yes.- Do you want to think about it for 15 minutes?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Could you hold it for us for 15 minutes? Hold it for 15 minutes?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Yeah.- I just think it's quite nice, actually.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41That's a first for the Blues.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43They put the drawers on the back burner.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Andy, what's the price of the vase?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50There you are, love. What do you think? It says £50.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52That's all I've got.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- I like it.- Do you like it £50?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Do you think that an auction audience will like it more than £50?
0:18:01 > 0:18:02That's my... You see...
0:18:02 > 0:18:05That's got birds on, and I've seen one with fairies on.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Oh!- Oh, she loves fairies. I never saw that.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Here's me steering you towards the wrong one.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Right, I'll grab this. This one here?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Yes.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Devon now. Same period, same aesthetic.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22But now, instead of the little finches...
0:18:22 > 0:18:23the fat little finches,
0:18:23 > 0:18:28we've got the fairy, complete with her wand, next to the big toadstool.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- I see why you like that. - I like that.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Is this the one, though? Seriously, is that now dead to you?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Well, can we see the ticket price?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41It's a good question. This one, the Crown Devon one, is 60, sir.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44What could it be?
0:18:44 > 0:18:45I'm afraid that's it.
0:18:45 > 0:18:4750 on this?
0:18:47 > 0:18:51OK. I must admit, I think it's very fair at that.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- For me, it's fairies.- It's fairies? - I think I'd like that.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56So we're going to take the fairies, pop the birds back,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- and we're going to dash off and see what we can do?- Yeah.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Shake the man's hand. - Thank you. We'll take this one.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Thank you, sir.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Item number two for the Reds,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09and just over ten minutes left for both teams to find their third.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Trevor, what do you have there?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Do you want to give us some advice on it, please?
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Regrettably, I think that's one we need to put down quite quickly.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- It is plated.- Oh, right.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25The plate has worn off. I think we'd be lucky to get £1 for it.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Oh, right, OK.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30It's proving difficult for the Blues to find their final item.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32But after a drought in the clock department,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34the Reds have found another one.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Right. Clock.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- Ho!- I thought we'd done the clock.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- Do you like that?- It's really...
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Yeah, I like it, yeah.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Let's have a wee look at this.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48There's the label. Look at that.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Wittenburg, a German movement.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52And there's a key floating about in there,
0:19:52 > 0:19:56there's a pendulum floating about in there, there's a coiled gong,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I'll wager that's all right.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02You may love it, you're in a minority.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04This is not an easy clock to sell.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Right.- To be honest, you buy that at auction at the moment,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09you buy that for 30 or 40 quid.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- I don't know.- Well, you would be well interested at a tenner.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- Oh, yes.- But not interested at 110.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15- No, definitely not, no.- That's true.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- It depends on...?- The price.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- I'll go and ask the man.- Okey-dokey.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Fingers crossed.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Fingers crossed on the clock, but remember, time is ticking.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Blues, are you moving in the right circles?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30For me, this doesn't float my boat. Why do you two want to buy it?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32To me it looked interesting,
0:20:32 > 0:20:34as though it was a full set of something.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36It takes me back to school days, to be honest.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- Is that a good thing or a bad thing? - Bad.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43For me, that little chest of drawers we looked at,
0:20:43 > 0:20:48I'd far rather you spend £45 on that than 20 quid on that.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- Right.- We'll take your advice.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- Quite happy with that.- Do you want to go and buy that other thing?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Let's go and do it, shall we?- We'll go and get it.- We'll have that.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- Shall I go and tell him? - Yes, please.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Looks like a decision has been made, the Blues are buying the drawers.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Reds, what's the price of the clock?
0:21:09 > 0:21:10He wants £45 for it.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I'm doubting myself with that one.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- You're not sure.- You're doubting. - I'm doubting.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19I don't think it'll make the profit what we want.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Well, a profit. Let's go in and have a quick look round.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Cheers, fella.- Cheers, mate. - It's OK, thank you very much.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28£45 is too pricey, but quickly, Reds, only seven minutes left.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Blues, have you sealed a deal on the drawers?
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- What do you think, then?- I think it would polish up very, very nice.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37One thing I like about it, that's pure oak,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40it just can't be any other wood at all.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I think that's lovely. Good old English oak.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46I think it's well made. It does look very well made to me.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47- I like that.- 45 was agreed on it.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- 45?- Yeah.- Thank you very much.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Cheers.- Cheers.- Thank you. - Thanks, Philip.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56We better just go and have a quiet meander round now, can't we?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58We can do. All done and dusted.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03You certainly are. Go and enjoy the final five minutes.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Reds, is it time for a panic buy?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Guys, it's crunch time.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12We're struggling now.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13We do have an option.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Just outside that door,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19there's a clock that's £45 and not a country mile off being a good buy.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21You liked the clock, didn't you.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Yes. Come on, let's go and get it.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- Yeah?- Go on, then, yes.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Paul's taken control for the Reds. Still feeling confident, Blues?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Are we going to win? - We're going to win.- Definitely.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35We're going to get a drink, win, and get the golden gavel.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I hope so, otherwise this could be hemlock.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Cheers.- Cheers.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43We'll soon find out, Blues. Reds, three minutes left.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44- Is it there?- It's still there, yes.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Buy your clock? Fantastic.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49- Cheers, mate.- Thank you.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- You just bought your third thing with seconds to go.- Just in time.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Right, teams, your time is up.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Well Annette, Andy, we are now off the clock.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Just done it.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I think it's tea time. What do you reckon?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- I think you're right.- And a few biscuits.- Come on.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Let's take stock of what the Red team have bought.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14First up, Annette and Andy
0:23:14 > 0:23:16eventually found a clock
0:23:16 > 0:23:18for which they paid £25.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Next, this vase jumped out
0:23:21 > 0:23:22to Annette,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25and they bought it for £50.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Finally, when time was ticking,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29they bought another clock,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31this one for £45.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- Annette and Andy, did you have a good time?- We had a brilliant time, yes.- Wonderful.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- Did he look after you? - He's a good lad, sound.- Yeah.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41He's a top... "Sound". That's what we like, a "sound" Scotsman.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44That's what we like. So what's your favourite lot, Annette?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- My fairy vase.- Your vase.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- Andy?- Mine's the Victorian clock.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Victorian clock, yes, predictable.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Who'd have thought!
0:23:54 > 0:23:57What's going to make the biggest profit, Annette?
0:23:57 > 0:23:58- My vase.- Your vase?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Yeah. Andy?- My clock, definitely.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Vase-vase, clock-clock.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Wonderful. You spent £120.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Yes.- A bit frugal, wasn't it?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- Tight.- A little bit "tight". That is a little rude, isn't it?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12So you have £180 to hand over.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Let's have it.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- That's the worst bit.- That's a lot of money to give to a Scotsman,
0:24:16 > 0:24:17- isn't it?- True.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Here it comes. It couldn't be in better hands.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22What are you going to do with it, Paul?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Do you know, I did spy something on a table down there
0:24:25 > 0:24:27that really did catch my eye.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29But that clock is ticking
0:24:29 > 0:24:31and I've seen people packing up. I have got to go.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35So, while Paul rushes off to snap up that snip,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38let's check out what the Blue team have bought.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41First up, Tom and Trevor didn't hang
0:24:41 > 0:24:43about and bought this trunk
0:24:43 > 0:24:44in ten minutes for £50.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Next, Trevor negotiated down
0:24:48 > 0:24:50the price of this Woolworth's sign
0:24:50 > 0:24:52which they bought for £100.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54And finally, will they be in
0:24:54 > 0:24:56the running for a golden gavel,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59after they paid £45 for these drawers?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Tom and Trevor, very focused.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- Very focused.- Very focused.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I am much in admiration.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- We tried our best.- But, Tom, the negotiating was a bit fierce, wasn't it?
0:25:09 > 0:25:14Well, we're from Yorkshire, don't forget, so you have to be a little bit... Yes.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15How did you find it, Phil?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17It was an education for me, Charlie.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19I thought that I could probably have a deal with people,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21but watching these two perform...
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- Were they successful?- I think they bought really good things, actually.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Yes. Yes. It looks as if you have done.- Thank you.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30What's your favourite lot, Tom?
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Mine is the travel case.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36- Yes.- And mine is the large FW Woolworth and Company sign.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38What wonderful thing. What's going to make the biggest profit?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- I think the Woolworth's advertising sign.- You think it will?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- I think it will, yes. - I agree with him.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- You do?- Because I selected it.
0:25:46 > 0:25:51- Total unanimity. Do you think they're in with a squeak of a golden gavel?- Shhhh.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52That's all we came for.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55It's all you came for. Well, we'll keep our fingers crossed.
0:25:55 > 0:26:01You spent £195, which is pretty good going, so just 105 left over.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- I have checked it.- And you know where it's going, don't you?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- Yes, I do.- It's going off to Uncle Phil.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I will check it.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- What are you going to do with it, Phil?- Well, we sort of...
0:26:10 > 0:26:12We want to hark back to our childhood.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13These guys wanted some toys,
0:26:13 > 0:26:17so I'd better see if I can find something like that.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22So while Phil harks back to his childhood, I'm off to the auction.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Today we are at Thomas Watson Auctioneers and I'm with
0:26:33 > 0:26:35the auctioneer him himself, David Elstob.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- David, hello.- Hi, Charlie.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- Good to see you.- And you. - Looking forward to it?- I am.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41So indeed am I.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43We kick off with Annette and Andy.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46They wanted to buy clocks, and indeed they did buy clocks,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49and Andy went for this brass model.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- What do you think?- It's nice.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56Nice cast brass frame, the value's really in the frame, the look of it,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59rather than the quality of the movement.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- What sort of estimate?- 40 to 60.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03I'd go along with you on that.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05I do have a penchant for overvaluing these things,
0:27:05 > 0:27:07they look as if they ought to be worth more.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- They do.- They only paid £25.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- They've done well.- So a cast-iron profit to start off with.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15You first heard it from the auctioneer.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Now, the vase.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21I can't help but think the vase is trying to be what it isn't.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25- Yes, it's trying to be Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre, essentially.- Yeah.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30But for a pot, if that was Fairyland Lustre, it would be four figures and
0:27:30 > 0:27:33above, but that's an accessible 1930s pot
0:27:33 > 0:27:35for someone who can't afford a piece of Fairyland.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37What about an estimate on it?
0:27:37 > 0:27:3930 to 50.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41They paid top end, paid £50,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44but you'll probably get them out of trouble.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46The clock they went for together, didn't they?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- What do you think?- There's nothing wrong with it.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- No. Very well put.- It's just...
0:27:51 > 0:27:52just out of fashion, I'm afraid.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- Yes.- You know, German,
0:27:55 > 0:27:581880, 1890 date, made from walnut,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01but just not very desirable now.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03I mean, they're not the best movements, are they?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06As you say, there's nothing wrong with it, other than the fact
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- it's 30 years too late.- Yes. - Would have made money in the '80s.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- It would have.- Yeah. What about an estimate?
0:28:12 > 0:28:16- 40 to 60.- 40 to 60. I think they're in with a sporting chance, then,
0:28:16 > 0:28:18- £45 paid.- OK.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20So, could well be all right there.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23So, I think we might be looking at a tidy little profit
0:28:23 > 0:28:27and, who knows, possibly even a golden gavel,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29dare I mention those words?
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Anyway, they might need a bonus buy.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33If they do, let's see what it is.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Annette and Andy.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Now, what did he say?
0:28:38 > 0:28:41He said, "I've spotted something,
0:28:41 > 0:28:44"and I'm going back to see if it's still there."
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Was it still there, Paul?
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Well, it was. Meet my little friend.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51- Oh!- Who's that, then?
0:28:52 > 0:28:54"Oh"!
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Give us a clue.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Kaiser Wilhelm II.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Queen Victoria's eldest grandson.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03The last Kaiser of Germany.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09What do you think of that? Great War era, high quality, bronzed,
0:29:09 > 0:29:13on a marble socle, that would have adorned the desk of, I dare say,
0:29:13 > 0:29:18some imperial German officer, or whatever, the high-status piece.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Would suit me down to the ground.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- I had you in mind.- Yes, this is it.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27- I like it.- Will I hit you with the numbers to see if you still like it?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30That's a point, yes, what did you pay?
0:29:30 > 0:29:32I paid £55 for that.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Oh! Is that a good price?
0:29:36 > 0:29:39What is it going to make? What do you think?
0:29:39 > 0:29:41That's cheap at £50 to £80.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44In my opinion.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46I'm getting a bit of a vibe here, but you don't have to make up
0:29:46 > 0:29:49your mind now as to whether you go with this exotic object or not.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54Let's see if the auctioneer is as enthusiastic about the Kaiser as Paul is.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Well, we often associate Paul Laidlaw with quality.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01And one thing you can say about that, it's quality.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03I'd agree with you, Charlie. Lovely cast.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05It is a good cast, isn't it?
0:30:05 > 0:30:09And it's bronze, it's the Kaiser, what about age?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11It could be early 20th.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14I think it's got the best part of 100 years on it.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Yeah, I would agree. It's a lovely base, as well.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19The pedestal's lovely. Nice marble.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23It's a good thing. I expect you'd put quite a meaty estimate on that.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24Well, 60 to 80.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26He's paid £55.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Could well be another profit.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Well, that's the Red team, things look quite rosy for the Red team.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34What about the Blues, Tom and Trevor?
0:30:34 > 0:30:38They bought an interesting mix of items, starting with the luggage,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40the Victor luggage trunk.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42What do you think of that?
0:30:42 > 0:30:43I like it.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45These are very popular now, these old trunks.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46They are, aren't they?
0:30:46 > 0:30:48I think somebody might use this as a coffee table.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50I think it would serve a great purpose for that.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- What about an estimate?- 50 to 80.
0:30:52 > 0:30:5650 to 80? Well, that's pretty promising, they paid £50.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58I think they'll do OK.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- Someone near. - You've got buyers for trunks.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02- We do.- Wonderful.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Now, what about the Woolworth's sign?
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Yes, it's...
0:31:08 > 0:31:11It's a nice thing, but with such a limited market.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- Who's going to buy it? - It's a big sign, you know?- Yeah.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16And if your name isn't Woolworth's, it's quite limited.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21Yeah. I do like it, but I think the market's very restricted.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Yeah, I mean, I just don't see where it's going to end up.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28- I mean, it's too big to go in a home, isn't it?- It is.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Both Tom and Trevor really like this.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34And what's more, they think it's going to make their biggest profit.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36I think I might differ with them.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37What do you think? What is your estimate?
0:31:37 > 0:31:39I agree with you, Charlie, 40 to 80.
0:31:39 > 0:31:4140 to 80. But you don't know what they've paid.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44They paid £100 for it.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46That's... Yeah. Ow!
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- There's a target for you.- Yeah. - So, fingers crossed.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Now, we finish up with the collector's chest.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Decent oak. What do you think?
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- Nice, early 20th century, probably. - Yes.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Nice countertop little chest.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Could have been haberdashery, something like that, originally.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- Yes, yes.- I like it.- Yeah.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09It's presented well, isn't it?
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- It's nice timber. - It's a nice colour.- Yeah.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- Estimate?- 30 to 50.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16They paid 45, so as long as you creep up to your top estimate...
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- It's achievable. - Yes, you'll get them out of trouble.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22I think, looking at the Mr Woolworth's,
0:32:22 > 0:32:24we might need a bonus buy here.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Let's have a look at it.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30Trevor, he wants to take you back to your childhood, doesn't he?
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- Good, good, good. - I wonder if he can succeed.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Well, you wanted something toy related.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37This was the best I could do.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- There we go.- Oh!
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- What do you think? - I think it's good, Philip.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43I think you've done us proud.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- Aww.- Yeah, I think it's absolutely marvellous.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- It's a bit big for our bath.- Really? - Yes!
0:32:49 > 0:32:51I like it very much indeed.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53We could sail away with two gavels.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54It is down to price, isn't it?
0:32:54 > 0:32:56It is, yeah. How much?
0:32:56 > 0:32:57What do you think it cost me?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00I think it cost about...
0:33:01 > 0:33:03..£75.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04I'm thinking more like 25.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Well, I paid Tom's price, but if we can get Trevor's price,
0:33:08 > 0:33:10we're sailing into the high seas, aren't we?
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Yeah! Thank you very much. - Pleasure.- Fantastic, chaps.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Well, you don't have to make up your mind now.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- No.- Wait until the auction and then see.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22You can go with it or not, but I think you like it, don't you?
0:33:22 > 0:33:23Yes. Yes, we like it.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Well, let's see if the auctioneer likes the pond yacht.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28So, what do you think of this?
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- I like it.- Yeah. - Yeah, very simple construction,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34but it looks to me as though it would float rather than sink.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Always a bonus with a yacht, isn't it?
0:33:38 > 0:33:39It's quite well made.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42It's not the finest clinker-built boat, but it ain't bad.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- No, I think it's probably been home made, but...- Yes.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- It's nice.- What about an estimate?
0:33:47 > 0:33:49- 30 to 50.- Pretty good.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50He only paid £25.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- That's very good.- It's good.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54They won't be KEELING over with this lot, I don't think.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Could make something of a profit.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58You'll be doing the auction today.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- I will.- I look forward to seeing you in action, David, good luck.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02Thank you.
0:34:04 > 0:34:0675. 75 with you.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09At 75. People on the internet out. 80.
0:34:09 > 0:34:1185. 85.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Annette and Andy. A home from home for you, isn't it?
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- The auction room.- Yeah. - Are you confident?
0:34:17 > 0:34:19- No.- Not really.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21This is a wonderful start, isn't it, Paul?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24You start off with the easel mantel clock.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26I like the easel mantel clock
0:34:26 > 0:34:28and I don't think you paid much money for it.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31So I think we should start with a profit.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32You first heard that here.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Anyway, here it comes.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Victorian cast brass framed easel mantel clock.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Pretty little clock with enamel dial.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41I'll start you at £25.
0:34:41 > 0:34:4325 I'm bid.
0:34:43 > 0:34:4625 I'm bid, the clock at 25 to see 30.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48£30 bid.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50£30 bid at the front.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51£30 bid in the room.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53At 30 bid, the internet's out.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Bid's in the room with 30. 35, I'll take next.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59£30 in the front row, then. Are we all done and finished?
0:34:59 > 0:35:01At £30, I'm selling.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03At £30, all done?
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- Well, there you go.- Profit.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08£5. It's not to be sniffed at, is it?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10£5 profit.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Next up is your Crown Devon lustre vase.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Nice 1930s pot, I'll start you at £25.
0:35:16 > 0:35:1825 I'm bid.
0:35:18 > 0:35:2025. Need a bit more than this.
0:35:20 > 0:35:2235, 40 bid.
0:35:22 > 0:35:2440 bid, the room.
0:35:24 > 0:35:2640 bid, the room. 45 I will take.

0:37:38 > 0:37:40..and you haven't made a penny.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42But you haven't lost a penny.

0:38:18 > 0:38:19A little taste of what's to come.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21They're not all gold, are they, Charlie?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24I can't see how you can go wrong, frankly.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Well, here it comes, the Victor luggage.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29The vintage Victor luggage travelling trunk.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30Nice vintage trunk.

0:39:34 > 0:39:35Every one of you.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- Was never in doubt. - How much did we pay for that?
0:39:38 > 0:39:41You paid 100, so you made 40 on that, you made 15 on the trunk,
0:39:41 > 0:39:42you've made...
0:39:42 > 0:39:43Steady, steady.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46You've got to make another profit to get one of these.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47Nice little vintage cabinet.

0:39:49 > 0:39:5145 I'm bid.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25You are not risking your golden gavel.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27So, therefore, do you want to go with it?
0:40:27 > 0:40:28It cost £25.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30We'll sail away with it.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- We'll sail away with it. - We'll sail away with it.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35This is not a Titanic moment, but it is, we're going with it.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36You're going with it?
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Right, here we go, boys. Here comes that pond yacht.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Lot 362. It's a pond yacht with a weighted keel,
0:40:41 > 0:40:45and I'm going to start you with interest at £25.

0:41:00 > 0:41:01At 35.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05- That's fantastic, boys. - Thank you very much, sir.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Do you want to know how much money you've made, boys?
0:41:07 > 0:41:09- Yes, please.- It would be handy.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13£75.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- That is just great.- And our friends said we would never do it.- Shh.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Not a word to the Reds.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Annette and Andy. Tom and Trevor.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Good times.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31- Fantastic time.- Yeah?
0:41:31 > 0:41:32- Great times.- Good times.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Well, one of you has won and one of you has come second.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Runner-up, we call it, on Bargain Hunt.
0:41:38 > 0:41:39We don't have losers.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40- Any ideas?- No.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42No. Well, it's quite tense, you know?
0:41:42 > 0:41:44It's quite tense.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47But today's runners-up are...
0:41:47 > 0:41:48It's a shame, isn't it, really?
0:41:48 > 0:41:49..the Reds.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55But...but you did not lose money.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59They were one bid away from a golden gavel.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02It proves I know nothing about clocks, doesn't it?
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Well, I don't know, you made a fiver on your mantel clock,
0:42:05 > 0:42:08you lost a tenner on the other one,
0:42:08 > 0:42:10which is something of a triumph, really.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12- It is for me, it certainly is.- Yes.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15But, as for you, boys, well, it was profit, profit, profit,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- wasn't it?- Yes!- Three profits. Absolutely.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21With another profit from the great man here.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24You've ended up with £75.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28You're the winners. Look at this!
0:42:28 > 0:42:30It's good, isn't it? £75.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Well, of course, winning money is one thing,
0:42:32 > 0:42:34but that's pretty irrelevant, really, isn't it?
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Because what you really need is one of these, a golden gavel.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41- Thank you. - Right, wear them with pride.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45- Thank you very much.- Not many people get those, do they, Phil?
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- No, they don't. - Well, it's a pleasure, isn't it,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49just to see someone receive a golden gavel?
0:42:49 > 0:42:52- I'm not jealous.- You're not jealous?
