0:00:04 > 0:00:05Welcome to the show.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12Today, Bargain Hunt has come marching into Newark.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21Now, I don't normally like to blow my own trumpet...
0:00:21 > 0:00:24but have we got a thumping good show for you today.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- ALL:- Yes!
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Welcome to Newark.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Our teams have £300 and just one hour in which to buy
0:01:02 > 0:01:06three items to take off to auction and, hopefully, make a profit.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Well, there's plenty to choose from around here,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12so let's have a look at what's coming up.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16On a very wet and windy day, the price has to be right for the Reds.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19How much?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21You say, "How much!"
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- How much?- How much?
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Can the Blues also battle against the elements?
0:01:28 > 0:01:33Suddenly, I'm warming up. I almost see the sun coming out with these vases.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- That's wishful thinking! - He's delirious, help!
0:01:39 > 0:01:42But who will weather the storm over at the auction?
0:01:42 > 0:01:43The Reds?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Or the Blues?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49But that's all for later. Now let's meet today's teams.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52And for the Red team we have Patricia and Malcolm,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54and for the Blues, Dorinda and Richard.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Hello, everyone! ALL:- Hello!
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Lovely to see you here.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Now, Malcolm, tell me, how did you two meet?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I met Pat in a crowded pub.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Our eyes met and I walked across...
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Yes?- And chatted her up...
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Yes?- I said, "I'll ring you in a week's time, I promise."
0:02:09 > 0:02:12When I rung her back, she says, "Who are you?"
0:02:12 > 0:02:16I couldn't remember who he was!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18True Romance. So, you ran off to get married?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21We ran away, got married at Gretna Green.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Gretna Green? That's supposed to be anonymous, isn't it?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27It was very quiet.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28How long ago was that?
0:02:28 > 0:02:3015 years ago.
0:02:30 > 0:02:3215 years. Gosh!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Friday the 13th, unlucky for some.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Very lucky for you two. - It wasn't, no!
0:02:38 > 0:02:41What a rotten chap. He's a shocker, isn't he?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- So, you're retired now?- I'm retired, yes.- So, what do you do?
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Nothing.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Nothing at all.- Very little.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52I'm one of these, I bought myself a new hat,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55a Panama, I go and sit on the benches now and watch the world go by.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Retirement hat. - What did you do before?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I was a publican. Hard work seven days a week.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03I bet it was.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- You helped him run the pub?- I did. - How long for?- 15 years.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I get the impression you probably ran the pub and he helped you.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Yeah, that's right.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- That's right.- I didn't really want to say it but I thought that was the case.- I was the backbone.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Yeah. So, what do you do now?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Well, I've just took up ballroom dancing as a hobby.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20- Oh, have you?- Yes.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Just to keep fit and enjoy it.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Do you dance, Malcolm?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- No.- It was his idea to join
0:03:26 > 0:03:28but he chickened out.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Difficult to dance when you're sitting on a park bench, isn't it?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Well, good luck, anyway. Now, on to the Blues.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Dorinda and Richard, tell me about how you met.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40A friend of mine said, "I'll help you out."
0:03:40 > 0:03:42He brought this young lady along.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Yeah, this young lady? - This young lady.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I took the other lady.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50We clicked on the night, although it was a very dark room.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- And...- He's a charmer, isn't it?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58And, there you are, that's the tale.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Marvellous. Now, you're retired now, Richard.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Yes.- What did you do beforehand?
0:04:03 > 0:04:04I ran a little engineering business,
0:04:04 > 0:04:08making semi-components in brass and copper.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Right. What do you do now?
0:04:10 > 0:04:11As little as possible!
0:04:14 > 0:04:18You're all hyperactive here, aren't you!
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Dorinda, you sound as if you're the active one, really.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Now, you are very much into dog training, aren't you?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- Er, dog socialising.- Dog socialising, tell me all about it.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Richard and I are socialisers for a charity
0:04:31 > 0:04:35who train dogs for autistic and disabled children and adults,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- and people with dementia. - How interesting.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- How does it help? - It helps them get up in the morning,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43be ready to enjoy life again.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- And they do.- And you've got all sorts of badges.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Bronze, silver and gold.- Yes.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Well, that's wonderful.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51So, before we go shopping, what will you need?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Some money, please. - You certainly will.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I've got £300 for you.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Thank you.- I've got £300 for you.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Have a great time. Join your experts and off you go shopping.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06It's the battle of the wedded bliss.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08But will they make any brass?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11And helping our teams navigate the stalls today...
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Cheers, Phil! Mr Serrell will be looking after the Reds.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21And steering the Blues in the right direction, it's Charles Hanson.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23What's our plan?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Er, quality but not too expensive.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- I like your style. - Something nice and useful.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Old and useful, like him.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36I like glass with silver tops on, you know.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- I like your style. - Are we going to buy a hat?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- We're going to buy a hat. - We're not, are we?
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Oh, no, he's got enough hats.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45PHONE RINGS What's that?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49WHISTLE BLOWS
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Come on.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54The teams are in fine fettle and raring to go. Good luck, everyone.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56The hour is alive.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Keep the faith.- Yes.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01In this cold, wild, weather, we must dig deep, OK?
0:06:01 > 0:06:06Are our former landlords getting the first round in? A pub sign.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I love that Magnet Ales sign.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Price tag - £250!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13How much!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15That's quite sweet, isn't it?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17A little... Isn't that sweet?
0:06:17 > 0:06:21I thought, wow-wee, it's first-period Worcester.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23It must be about 1760.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27But, in fact, the early Worcester was so popular,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Worcester revived it in the 1920s,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- so, this, actually, this is a reproduction from the '20s.- Ah.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35But I love it because, sort of coffee, tea...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- It's really nice.- It's pretty. - We're brewing, aren't we?
0:06:37 > 0:06:38We're brewing up here.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Never mind, Charles, the hour is young.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Now, how does an iron milling wheel take your fancy, Malcolm?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46You've got one of these, haven't you, Malc?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I have. Old, fancy machinery.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51What do you think to that, then? What's it for?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- It's not a chaff cutter, is it? - It looks like it.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Do you know how old it is, is it sort of 1900-ish?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00I should think around there, early 20th century.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01So, what's the ticket price on this?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03120.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I was going to say 120. I'll just...
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Steady on, Malcolm!
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- I'll take 100.- That's a start, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- I think in auction it'll make 60 to 80 quid.- Yeah.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I think that's about right.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Yeah, it should make about 60.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20I'll do eighty. That's a fair bid.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- You both like this? - Yeah, I think it'll...- He does.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25It's not my cup of tea but I know he likes it.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- You could do with coming down a bit more.- Yeah, I think.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Go on, do your...- Yeah, I think he can come down a bit more.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33You could come down a bit more...
0:07:33 > 0:07:35You're from Yorkshire, aren't you?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36THEY LAUGH
0:07:36 > 0:07:38He is a farming man.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42We Yorkshire lads, we don't like using us brass.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I'll do you another fiver, 75, and we're done.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- It's up to you two, what do you want to do?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Shake the man's hand. - Thank you, sir.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Have a good day.- Thank you.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Right, follow me.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Go on, off we go. - Follow me.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Well done, Reds.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00It's taken some haggling but that's numero uno for you and
0:08:00 > 0:08:02you're only ten minutes in.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Teams, it's starting to look pretty wet out there today.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Time to dig deep.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Oh, Bennett. Not very glamorous!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I kid you not, when the going gets tough,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16the tough really gets going on Bargain Hunt.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Let's go over there. I see a wonderful ...
0:08:18 > 0:08:22The man is still standing with a gorgeous jardiniere.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Ha! Ever the optimist is our Mr Hanson!
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Although I do think you should have brought some brollies, Blues.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Look at that for a jardiniere, hey?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- It's gorgeous, isn't it? - Do you like it?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Er, I don't know.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38I quite like it because it's what we call the Art Nouveau style.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- It is.- Do you like it, Richard?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43It does something for me. I'm not sure what.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Look at me. Do you like it?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Will it make money?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Well, listen, as the rains come down,
0:08:50 > 0:08:51the buying must get keen.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I like it because it's got a great look.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It's 1910, this is Charles Voysey.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Think of the great Art Nouveau designer at Liberty.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02It's got the Voysey tendril heart shape.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05It's got this gorgeous, sinuous line.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Look at that line there,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- going up to that lovely little floral style.- It's growing on me.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10SHE CHUCKLES
0:09:10 > 0:09:12It's missing its jardiniere.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- It's missing the jardiniere.- Ah.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- I quite like it. - Will that make a difference.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Yeah, I think so but condition's not bad.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- We like it.- What's the value?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- That's 75.- Pardon?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25That's 75.
0:09:25 > 0:09:2850, would you take 50 for it, please?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- As it's raining? - Oh, yes, do you agree?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Well...
0:09:33 > 0:09:34I like it.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Do you agree?- I like it.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40If the condition's good and we should look at the condition,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I mustn't drop it in this wet weather.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- There's nothing.- It's got a nice base to it, it's in nice order.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47- Yeah?- No cracks.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49It's a good form.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I think it's a good lump. I think it's decorative.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I think it might appeal to the Americans.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55- Richard, your call.- Yeah?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Go on, then.- Yeah.- We'll take it!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59For £50.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Thank you very much.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Shake those hands.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Can I borrow your umbrella!
0:10:04 > 0:10:06All we need now, definitely, are some umbrellas.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Follow me. I'm drenched.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10And some clean glasses.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I'm not sure any of you could even see what you were buying.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15One down, Blues.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Right, then, let's rustle up some umbrellas pronto, please.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Right, I've changed my coat.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25I was so wet, I've gone to get my winter coat.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26The umbrella's here, as well.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Oh, drowned! Thank you.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32There we go, brollies all round, teams.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34What a day, hey? This is all about the hour
0:10:34 > 0:10:36and the survival of the fittest.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- OK, come on, Dorinda!- Definitely. - Let's go over here, come on!
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Right, Phil, you've done a few wet shops in your time. What's the plan?
0:10:43 > 0:10:47In these conditions, there's a certain tactic to be employed, right?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50What you want to do is find a particularly drowned-looking dealer,
0:10:50 > 0:10:54like our new very best friend here, right,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57and you want to go up to the biggest thing on his stall
0:10:57 > 0:11:00that he's got to lump home with him
0:11:00 > 0:11:03because the last thing in the world he's going to want to do
0:11:03 > 0:11:04is take this home.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Very cunning, Mr Serrell.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09SELLER: I'd like to get rid of it today.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Would be nice, wouldn't it?- Yes.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12What's your ticket price on this?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14225.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16THEY GASP AND LAUGH
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Can you say, "How much?"
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- It's a proper antique. - It is.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24These are used for transporting olives, aren't they?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Are they?- Probably it's Egyptian. - Yeah.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29It's probably 1800s.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31It would have been probably a water storage jug.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35They buried them under the sand, keeps the water cool.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I think we're going to be way out of our price range on those.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- What do you sort of...? - Like, half that.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43And that's going to insult you, so I don't want to do that.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- I mean... - We ain't got much money left.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Because it's raining, I'd go down to, um...
0:11:50 > 0:11:51135.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Getting near.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58We're getting near.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01I think Malcolm could be tempted here.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- It's old.- I think it would attract a certain market.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05How much is that one?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- That one?- Yeah.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08I'd do the same, 135.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Do you want to do it? - What's your best price,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12your really best price?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- 125, absolutely no lower.- 125?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19So, this one has got a broken top on it.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23But it's been repaired. That one, I kind of don't like that handle.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- No, I don't. - I don't either.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27The handles had a repair on it.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Shall we toss for it, then?- Yeah.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32If I was going to take one home, I'd take that one.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I won't give you 50p, I'll give you 2p
0:12:37 > 0:12:39A proper Yorkshireman!
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I'll toss the coin but we're going to have that one.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43You pick, heads or tails?
0:12:43 > 0:12:44- You tell me.- Heads.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- What do you want it to be?- Heads.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52It's a head.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Is it best of three?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58We'll have that one, yeah?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- Yeah, go on, then. - Thank you very much.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Off you go, off you go, off you go.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Well handled, Phil, but I think their mind was already made up.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Two down and one to go, Reds,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11just 20 minutes into your shop.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13How are the Blues bearing up?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- They're quite nice, aren't they? - Yes, they're quite pretty.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17They're really nice.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Now, if you want a real dust-gatherer...- Yes.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I'm very good with my dusting. Is she a good duster, Richard?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- Yes, she is.- Well, these are the hardest vases to dust.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31- Absolutely.- Because they are beautifully encrusted with flowers.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35And the dust within the crevasses is very difficult to get out.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37But these are 1840.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41What we call Coalbrookdale and they are very, very nice, actually.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- They are.- They're almost seeing a renaissance in demand.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48We've had a handle restored here.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Look at that whiteness there, that staining is a restoration.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54They've got some age, there's a small chip.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56We've been chipped and knocked in the rain but we're still going.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- We're still going.- And the vase is still standing as well, Richard,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- don't you agree?- Absolutely. - Do you like them?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Yes, that's quite pretty. - Very nice.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Are they a pair?- They are. Like you two.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Well, this one says £65.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Suddenly, I'm warming up.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I almost see the sun coming out with these vases.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- That's wishful thinking. - He's delirious, help!
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Help!- Thank you very much.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I like these, Dorinda. These are real antiques.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28These are 180 years old.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Yeah, I mean, they are beautiful.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Look at the enamelling and the flowers.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Carnations and...- Yeah. But what would you think we could get?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- What would you think?- I think the dealer's over here.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40- Yeah.- Hello, sir.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Do you mind me asking you a question?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Good to see you, by the way, on this wet day.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- I know, it's dreadful, isn't it? - It is.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- We are admiring...- Are you now?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52What's your very, very best price on this?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55The best on those is £50, £25 each.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- So, the death would be? - 50. And that is absolute death.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00I've knocked £15 off, I think.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Do you think we'd make a profit on those?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07I think, with the wind blowing in Nottinghamshire,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10on a sunny day with buyers out in force,
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- they've got a good chance. - Go on, then.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- We'll take your advice. - It's a yes from us.- Good.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Sold. Shake his hand, Richard.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Now I can go home. - Thank you very much.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23It's nice to see you on this wet day. Shake his hand, Dorinda.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Thank you, sir.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Charles certainly took a shine to those.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Only time will tell over at the auction.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32That's two apiece, teams, and 30 minutes in.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34You experts are earning your stripes today.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37You're looking a bit wet around the gills, Mr Hanson.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38How's it all going?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41We're keeping buoyant because we've bought two items
0:15:41 > 0:15:43in terrible conditions.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47But whilst stalls are here, we're going strong,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49we're feeling very positive towards our last item.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51And Phil?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I think we've bought things that perhaps Malcolm gravitates to
0:15:54 > 0:15:57rather than Pat, so I think, you know, in that time we've got left,
0:15:57 > 0:16:01we perhaps should let Pat, you know, find her own way a bit.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Well, best of British to you, teams.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Only one item each left to find.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Just think of that lovely, warm cuppa at the end of it all.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Two items down, one to go.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Weather could be a bit better, like.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Look for something now...really nice.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Yeah, some silver I think we want now.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Well, at least you're still smiling, Dorinda. Oh, look out.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26It's the Reds! It's the Reds!
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Don't get too near them.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29They might bite.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Pat, what floats your boat?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Well, I like...
0:16:34 > 0:16:35I collect Beswick cats.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I like cats. I love glassware.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40I like cranberry glass and ruby glass. Waiting for...
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Do you like glass floats? Fishing floats?
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- They're a bit blokey, aren't they? - I don't want fishing floats!
0:16:46 > 0:16:48No!
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Not exactly what Pat had in mind, Phil.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Dorinda was looking for some silver.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Actually, that's nice.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59That's really nice. Is that William Comyns on the bottom there?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Yes.- What is it?- Isn't that lovely? Beautiful object.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07It's basically a small scent bottle case.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Beautiful. - Is that stopper the real one?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- That's a glass stopper. - The whole case opens up.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15So, there we go, out it comes, like so.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17That's a glass scent bottle in a very nice...
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I think that's rather nice, actually.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- Is there a hallmark on that? - There it is.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Ah, look, William Comyns, there's the all-important C.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30He was the most important Edwardian silversmith in England,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32and wherever you see Comyns spelt C-O-M-Y-N-S,
0:17:32 > 0:17:36you place a premium on the price.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39All beautifully embossed, and beaten.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41An ordinary scent bottle case
0:17:41 > 0:17:43might be £100. How much is this one?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- 180.- 180!
0:17:45 > 0:17:48It could be 80, you know?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I think the one is a mistake.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52No, it's 18!
0:17:52 > 0:17:54It can be...
0:17:54 > 0:17:56150 would be the best.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- It's a very big spend.- It is a big spend and we said before we left
0:18:00 > 0:18:03home we wouldn't spend over 100!
0:18:03 > 0:18:06It's a quality item. Take a chance, hey, Dorinda, take a chance.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08But we have still got 20 minutes.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Can you... You're not going right now?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Will you still be here if we walk up there and come back?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Promise?- Yes.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- I think a quick march up there. - And a march back.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- See you later.- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22One for the back burner, Blues.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Back to the Reds.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29This is a leg of mutton, leather gun case.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- So, what you do is you would break your gun, wouldn't you?- Yeah.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35And I don't mean snap it in two, but you take it apart,
0:18:35 > 0:18:39and you put the barrels down there.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42And the stock down there.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- I think this probably dates to the Edwardian era.- Oh...
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- Yeah, she's old.- 1900?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Do you reckon it'd make money? - It's leather.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I mean, it's not my cup of tea, but it's old, isn't it?
0:18:52 > 0:18:53It is old.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- So, what's the best you can do that for?- 35.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- Is that the death?- That's the death. - Would 30 buy it?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01No. I've got a hat here, I'll give you the hat for free.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- Can I just try that on? - It came with it.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Hey, it suits you, sir. - You'll really need it today.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- It's running down the back of my neck.- Suits you, sir.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I beg to differ there, Malcolm.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I'm conscious that we've got to try and find something for Pat
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- but let's ask him to put this by. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Yes, that's a bit of an omen with the hat.- You hang onto that.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Thank you.- Thanks very much indeed.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25You can never have enough hats, Malcolm.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Right, teams, ten minutes left,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31time to make some decisions on your third and final items.
0:19:31 > 0:19:3365. No. They're not as nice as that.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- That is nice, you know.- It is nice.- They're not as nice as that.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38The more I think about it, I think we ought to have that.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Yeah.- Because it's lovely. - Well done. Right, come on, team.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- Thank you, madam.- Thank you.- Have you got a spare coffee at all?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I'm only joking!
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Nice try, Charles.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I'll put the kettle on,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52whilst you seal the deal on the silver case bottle.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Although I think the Reds have something a little stronger
0:19:55 > 0:19:58than coffee on their minds - an antique gin dispenser.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- Oh, aye, that's good! - Oh, I like that!
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- How much is that, please?- 450.- Ooh!
0:20:04 > 0:20:07What's that? £450?
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- Oh, ouch! - It's unusual, it's very rare.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Yeah.- It is nice, I like that. - Pat, you seem to like that item.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Oh, first thing I like... - Start looking.- ..too dear.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- I'm looking, I'm looking. - There we go, come on.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Oh, wonderful. - I'll follow you. This way.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Come on, come on. - A true gent, Charles.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Reds, just three minutes left. What are your thoughts?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I think you ought to get the gun case,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- cos I think that will make money. - Yeah, go on, then.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Yeah. Right.- And I'm cold and wet. - Go on, then.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- And Phil is... Well, but, yeah... - We could almost...
0:20:38 > 0:20:41You know, you... You just, you're singing,
0:20:41 > 0:20:44just keep those legs and limbs moving, OK?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Even in this weather, the Blues can muster up a little skip to their
0:20:47 > 0:20:50final item - but is the silver still there?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- Oh, it's there!- Yes! - Hello again, Madam.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Hello.- Hello.- We've come in need.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Have you? - And you're absolutely positive
0:20:59 > 0:21:01that's your lowest you can go?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I'll let it go for 145.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- Oh, thank you very much. - Very kind.- That is so kind.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Thank you very much.- Great.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- Done it. Ho!- Well, despite the rain, despite the wind,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14we've been together.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Yes.- We have.- Lived the hour.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- We've sorted it out.- We have,
0:21:18 > 0:21:22and I can now tell you quite happily, let's go for a cup of tea.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Oh, yes.- Come on. - Yes, please.- Come on.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Well done, team.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30I'll even throw in some cake and a hot water bottle, you deserve it.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33So, the Reds have made their way back to the gun case.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Get it bought.- Are you having it, then?- Yeah, we'll have it,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- we'll have it, we'll have it.- So, Pat's had her own way all the way
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- with this, hasn't she?- Yeah.- Utterly selfish.- Oh! I wanted the gin.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44You can tell we had a pub, can't you?
0:21:44 > 0:21:45PAT LAUGHS
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Shake the man's hand.- Thank you. Shake the man's hand.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- I told you it was all men, didn't I?- Quick, before she goes in,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52before she gets into the gin again.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I tell you, I could do with a stiff drink after all that.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Right, teams, your time is up.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58WHISTLE BLOWS
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Let's check out what the Red team have bought.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04First - the mechanical mill. Price, £75.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Next up - the pottery amphora set them back £125.
0:22:13 > 0:22:19Finally - they settled at £35 for the leg of mutton gun case and hat.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Well, Patricia and Malcolm...
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Patricia, did you get a look in with these two shopping?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26No, two farming boys, not a look in.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27Not a look in.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Did any of the lots appeal to you?
0:22:30 > 0:22:31No.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Only the gin, and it was too expensive,
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- I couldn't buy it. - Oh, dear. Never mind!
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- But you had a good time?- We did. - What's your favourite lot, Malcolm?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- The gun case.- Is it? What's going to make the biggest profit?
0:22:42 > 0:22:46- The gun case.- There is a crack in the record here.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50Patricia, what about you, favourite lot? Not that there is one.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51The urn, the water urn.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- Oh, yes.- I think it's old and it will look nice in a garden,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57water feature type thing, but it's got age, and I like that.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59But that cost a few bob, didn't it?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Ah, but it's an age. - It ran a lot dearer.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04£125, was it? HE SUCKS HIS TEETH
0:23:04 > 0:23:06You think that's going to make the biggest profit?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Yeah.- There we have it.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Well, you spent £235, which means you must have £65 left over.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- We have, yeah.- Hand it over. Who's got it?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- Oh...- Never seen a man look so disappointed in all my life.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Almost needed pliers to get it out of there!
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- He were careful. - What are you going to do with that?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Well, I'd like to go and get Malcolm and I something,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30but I've got a feeling I should probably...
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- HE SIGHS - ..go and get Pat something.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Oh... While Phil goes off to...
0:23:34 > 0:23:36HE SIGHS ..get Pat something,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39let's check out what the Blue team have bought.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Their first item was the jardiniere stand.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Price paid, £50.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Next, the Staffordshire vases set them back £50.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53And their final item was the little silver-cased bottle
0:23:53 > 0:23:56they bought for £145.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Dorinda and Richard, it can be tough in the rain, can't it?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- It can.- Did you get wet? - Just a bit drowned.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04You didn't let it bother your shopping, though, did you?
0:24:04 > 0:24:05- No! No, no.- You spent, spent, spent.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Well, you know, we've only got one chance.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I'm proud of you. What's your favourite lot, Dorinda?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Oh, the perfume bottle. - Isn't that a wonderful thing?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- I like that. - What will make the biggest profit?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Probably the jardiniere stand. - Oh, do you...
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Yes, the jardiniere stand.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- Where's the jardiniere?- Yeah.- That could be a problem, couldn't it?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Yes, it's could, it could. - Richard, what do you think,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- what's your favourite lot? - Got to be the little scent bottle.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Yes, proper quality, isn't it?
0:24:31 > 0:24:32- Yes, quality.- Wonderful.- Yes.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- Will that make the biggest profit, though?- Erm...
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- I think it may.- You think it may.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Now, you've spent a princely sum of £245.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- Mm!- Yes.- Which means you've got 55 left over.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- Who is holding that?- I've no idea.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- You are!- Oh, he's a wag is this Richard.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- You can't get away with that! - Can't really do that one.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- Charles, £55. - Thank you very much, Charlie.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- What are you going to do with that? - I think, these guys,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59they've been married 50 years, which is wonderful.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- Yeah.- So maybe something approaching maybe half antique,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03something mid-20th century.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Here's hoping.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Now, I'm glad to say it's finally stopped raining,
0:25:11 > 0:25:12so, just before the auction,
0:25:12 > 0:25:17I've popped into Newark to take a trip down memory lane.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20A lot of you will already know my passion for English furniture,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23particularly Georgian furniture,
0:25:23 > 0:25:27and this is an example that is particularly close to my heart.
0:25:27 > 0:25:33Why? Because it was arguably the first piece I ever bought.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36It was about 1969, I'd left school, I joined a firm of auctioneers,
0:25:36 > 0:25:40and I'd already got a bit of a passion for furniture.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42And I used to hang around in the saleroom,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44and I started auctioning,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46and I tried my hand at a little bit of dealing,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48a bit of buying and selling.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I bought it from two part-time dealers,
0:25:50 > 0:25:55and schoolteachers called Janet and John in Stuteley.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Cost me £8.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01I remember it well, but it was in pretty ropey condition.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06I had it restored, which cost £12. So, it stood me in at £20.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09And then, in a rather mad moment, I gave it to my mother as a present,
0:26:09 > 0:26:13and it sat on her dressing table for 30 years.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17And she loved it, put all her bits in it,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20and I just remember it in various houses where she lived.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23And when she passed on, she left it to me,
0:26:23 > 0:26:25so it came full circle.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30I then gave it to my wife and my wife has it on her dressing table.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34And, no doubt, one day, it will become my daughter's.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37And just talking about the piece itself - it's mahogany,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40its strung in boxwood, and it's got a few extra features,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43it's Serpentine fronted, wonderful shape.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Very thin drawer linings, beautifully made.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Ogee bracket feet, another extra feature.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53It does show just the change in prices
0:26:53 > 0:26:57of Georgian furniture over the years.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59So, in the heady days of the '80s,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02this mirror would have been worth £300 to £400,
0:27:02 > 0:27:06possibly even a little bit more in a smart shop.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Today, as little as £50 to £80 might be the estimate at auction,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13but, really, I don't care what it's worth.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16It's totally irrelevant to me.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20This is a piece of social history for me, and I love it.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29Right, time to take a trip to Nottingham for today's auction.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Well, just down the road in Nottingham is Mellors & Kirk,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34and I'm with the boss today, Nigel Kirk. Hello.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Hello, Charlie.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39Lovely to be here. Now, Patricia and Malcolm with their purchases,
0:27:39 > 0:27:43they kicked off with this extraordinary mechanical object.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- What do you think of it? - It's a grinder or milling machine.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- Yeah.- And it's a splendid example of late Victorian,
0:27:48 > 0:27:52- Edwardian, rural bygone, isn't it? - Yes, but it is.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- What did it grind?- It's been suggested it was grinding stubble,
0:27:55 > 0:27:57but I'm not altogether sure.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- No.- Looks like a domestic mincing machine.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- Yes. Bit big to have in the kitchen. - Rather large.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- It's rather nice, though, isn't it? - It is.- How do you value it?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I think 60 to 100. It's a difficult one,
0:28:09 > 0:28:11because some people will fall in love with it,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- and others just won't want it at all.- I'm sure that's true!
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- Well, they paid £75, so that's... - Yeah.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- ..smack in the middle of your estimate.- Yeah, not unreasonable.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Very good. Now, what about the Mediterranean amphora?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I think it's not all that old.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- No.- Certainly 20th century, possibly,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30possibly late-19th century.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- Yes.- But it looks ancient, and it isn't.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Yeah, yeah. Nice thing to put in the garden, I think.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- Yes.- Another difficult thing to value, I would have thought.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39It is, it's not unreasonable, I think.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- 60, 80.- They went for this in a big way.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44£125 paid.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46It's not impossible to see it making it,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- but I think that would be a very good result.- No.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52And then, of course, we've got the old shoulder of mutton,
0:28:52 > 0:28:55and I think they got a free deerstalker to boot.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57- The deerstalker's a bit on the small side, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00The leg of mutton shotgun case is beautifully made.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02- They always are, aren't they?- Yes.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04And it's a splendid object in itself, really.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Yes, it is, isn't it? And it's got a nice old label on it.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11- It has. Yes.- Yeah.- Vintage luggage of all sorts is highly collectable.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Right.- And I think it will be interesting, that.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- Sort of money?- £40, £60 with a free deerstalker.- Good!
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Yeah, with a free deerstalker!
0:29:20 > 0:29:24- Buy one get a deerstalker free. - Absolutely.- It cost £35, so they...
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- That's all right.- They should be all right there.- Yes, yes.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29But, of course, it looks like things might be all right
0:29:29 > 0:29:33without the bonus buy, but let's have a look anyway.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36We're rather hoping that the young man's gone off and bought
0:29:36 > 0:29:39something for you, Patricia, because it was a bit of a boys' outing,
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- wasn't it, really?- Boys' outing. - We had some fun, didn't we?
0:29:42 > 0:29:45I mean, we had some fun, didn't we?
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- It's not a tractor part, is it? - No...
0:29:48 > 0:29:53- What have you bought, Phil? - Well, this is just for you, my love.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- Oh, that's nice! - A little silver matchbox.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- Oh, I like that.- Do you?- Pillbox, isn't it?- No, that's a snuffbox.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- That's a snuff box.- And that, you put little stamps in that.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- Oh.- What was the price? - Well, you tell me
0:30:05 > 0:30:07what you think it should have been.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09I'll tell you... It's all silver.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Has it got hallmarks on?- £40.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Well, he's a fiver out. Cost me £45.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- Very good.- I think they'll make between 40 and £60.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- Yeah, I like them.- You do? - You did well.- What about that?!
0:30:22 > 0:30:24I've got a feeling you might be going with those,
0:30:24 > 0:30:27but you don't have to make up your mind now.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30In the excitement of the auction, you can take a look and decide
0:30:30 > 0:30:33whether Phil's done a good deal or a bad deal.
0:30:33 > 0:30:39But let's have a look and see what the auctioneer thinks of the silver.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Here we go. We've got a little snuffbox there,
0:30:41 > 0:30:43which is rather charming.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47- Well-made.- Yeah. And a little Vesta, or match case.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Lovely engine-turned decoration on it, though.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- It is. Yes, it is, very crisply done and...- Yeah.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Monogram is...HH?
0:30:55 > 0:30:58So, we need Harry Holland to turn up in the sale and we'll be fine.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- We do. We do.- Yeah. What about the two of them?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- How much?- I should have thought £30 to £40.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Yeah. I think...
0:31:05 > 0:31:08I rather hope they might make a little bit more than that.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12- They could do.- Yeah. Well, Philip paid 45.- I think that's all right.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14- Yeah.- Mm.- That's it for the Red team.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Now the Blues. Now, Dorinda and Richard kicked off
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- with this Art Nouveau stand. - Very Art Nouveau.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22The only problem is, where's the jardiniere gone?
0:31:22 > 0:31:24- I don't know! - A bit useless without it.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- Yeah.- But it could hardly be more Art Nouveau
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- with the use of these seed pods. - Yes.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33And tendrils. It's a splendid object.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- Not of the best quality. - I don't think it's Minton, is it?
0:31:36 > 0:31:40No, isn't. No, no. It's maker unknown.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41Yeah. What about value?
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- 30 to 50.- Mm. Well, they paid 50, so...
0:31:44 > 0:31:46They might get their money back.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50Yeah. Now, the Coalbrookdale vases was their second lot.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54It's something which the market is not very responsive to.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- I think these probably were made in Staffordshire.- Yeah.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Or indeed elsewhere, but Coalport...
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- they are not.- So, that's going to knock the value a certain amount.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- £20 to £40.- Paid 50.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- Too much, I fear.- Yeah.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11But, of course, 20 years ago, you'd have steamed those away at 100,
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- wouldn't you?- Oh, yes. They were much more sought-after.- Yeah, yeah.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Now, finally, the salts bottle
0:32:17 > 0:32:20with very nice embossed decoration on it,
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- and it is after all William Comyns. - Yes.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25So, it's Victorian, 1898.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27- A saleable object, isn't it? - It is a saleable object,
0:32:27 > 0:32:30but, of course, it is a salts bottle and not a scent bottle.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- Ah.- And while scent bottles are very sought after...
0:32:34 > 0:32:38- Yeah.- ..it won't be of interest to those collectors.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42- Right.- So, although it looks like a scent bottle, it actually isn't,
0:32:42 > 0:32:45and that I think will affect the price.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- I think 40 to 60, instead of 80 to 120.- Yes.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Yeah. You've hit on a good academic point there.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- They paid £145. - Does seem quite a lot.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Now, I've heard you're pretty good on the rostrum,
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- but are you that good?- No.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05Well, it does seem that they might well need their bonus buy.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Let's have a look at it.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Now, Dorinda and Richard, you didn't leave this young man with
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- much money, did you?- No!- What do you think he's done with it?
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Heaven only knows.- Keep the faith!
0:33:15 > 0:33:17That's the faith they've got in you, Charles.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Shall I reveal it?- Please do, Charlie. I almost spent the whole
0:33:20 > 0:33:22amount on these wonderful pair...
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Look at these.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28You want to get funky, you want to, I suppose,
0:33:28 > 0:33:32live in a modern home and you want style. I mean, look at these.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- Aren't they wonderful, Richard? - They're...amazing.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Let me tell you, because it's a wonderful marriage,
0:33:37 > 0:33:40insofar we've got almost these switches,
0:33:40 > 0:33:43which came from a gas station probably 1940s, '50s.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Think of those wonderful hanging lights.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48They've got that style about them. They are on and off switches,
0:33:48 > 0:33:52and they've been mounted onto some salvaged oak and...
0:33:52 > 0:33:56You know, if you want a nice hallway with some wonderful coat pegs
0:33:56 > 0:33:58to look at and admire, which...
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- I think they're wonderful. - Dorinda, what do you think of them?
0:34:01 > 0:34:04- Talk to me.- I think they're awful! - Richard?- Quite unique.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08Charles, how much did you pay for these awful things?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Well, they are so practically perfect,
0:34:10 > 0:34:12they serve a great purpose, Dorinda.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14- They cost £50.- Oh. Right.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17What do you think their value will be at the auction?
0:34:17 > 0:34:20I think they're worth, on a really good day, maybe £100.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22With the wind blowing, mind you.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25But I would guide them between 50 and 70, Richard.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29- Fine.- Well, Dorinda thinks they are awful.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Will the auctioneer like them?
0:34:31 > 0:34:32Possibly!
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Now, Charles went off with some money here,
0:34:35 > 0:34:37and this is what he bought.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41I say! Most unusual objects.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Yeah.- I suppose these are the sorts of things
0:34:44 > 0:34:46which do attract interest today, because they are retro -
0:34:46 > 0:34:48to use a much-overused term.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53- Oh, well done, yes. Yes. Well, there are two of them.- Oh, good.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55- But you're quite right, they might just appeal.- I think they will.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- Yeah.- Yeah.- Yeah. What about value?
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- 30 to 40.- Yeah.- For the two. - Well, he paid £50 for the two, so...
0:35:01 > 0:35:03That's not that out of the way, no.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- No.- No. You'll be taking the sale today?
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Yes.- Well, we've given you some challenges here, haven't we?
0:35:08 > 0:35:12I'm intrigued to see how Nigel gets on.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- Are you confident?- No.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26- I'm a bit... - Patricia, are you confident?
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- What will be will be.- Well, then, I think the answer is no
0:35:29 > 0:35:34on both counts, there, Philip. Well, first up is the grinder or the mill.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Cost £75. Paid a bit of money for it,
0:35:36 > 0:35:40but the auctioneer quite liked it. I like it, and here it comes.
0:35:40 > 0:35:45Lot 148 - the Victorian cast iron mix patent Surprise Mill.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48£50 for it. Bid at 50.
0:35:48 > 0:35:5160 for it now. 50, I have. 60 for it.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52£50 the bid.
0:35:52 > 0:35:5360? 60.
0:35:53 > 0:35:5570. 80. £80.
0:35:55 > 0:35:5790 for it? £80.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Time's up. £80.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01I sell to a commission bidder...
0:36:01 > 0:36:04- Well done! - Sliver of a profit, isn't it?
0:36:04 > 0:36:06That's a fiver. That's pretty good.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Now the amphora.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Cost £125. Bit of a gamble.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Here it comes.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14Lot number 149,
0:36:14 > 0:36:18the Mediterranean pottery amphora. £20 for this.
