0:00:03 > 0:00:05Today, the show is coming from Leominster,
0:00:05 > 0:00:08a sleepy market town in Herefordshire.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12But don't be fooled, there's more here than meets the eye.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21This place is steeped in history and folklore
0:00:21 > 0:00:24and Morris dancing has played an important role
0:00:24 > 0:00:28over hundreds of years, in driving away the evil spirits,
0:00:28 > 0:00:32and guaranteeing a good yield when it comes to the crop.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Well, as the Reds go head-to-head with the Blues,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40who will end up with the biggest yield in antiques?
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Well, there's only one way to find out.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Let's go... ALL:- Bargain hunting!
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Well, there's plenty for our teams to choose from here.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Either way, you know the rules.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17£300, one hour,
0:01:17 > 0:01:21and three items that will hopefully give them a profit
0:01:21 > 0:01:22when they sell at auction.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Meanwhile, here's a taste of what's coming up next.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28The Reds are feeling confident...
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- Inquire?- Yeah, I'll give it a go, why not?
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Right, off you go.- There's no hanging around for the Blues.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35We've only got ten minutes left.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Well, we're going to have to make decisions.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40At the auction, there's plenty of excitement for the Reds.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43And surprises for the Blues.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47And I'll give Morris dancing a go.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53But all that is coming up later, so let's meet today's teams.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55And we're keeping it in the family.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58For the Reds, we've got father and son, Richard and Jack.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02And for the Blues, we've got mother and daughter, Maya and Sharon.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03- Hello. OTHERS:- Hello!
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Hello. Now tell me, Richard, what do you for a living?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I'm a theatre manager in Cannock, Eric.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11So, have you actually been an actor?
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Many, many years ago, Eric.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16I was in a play with Ralph Fiennes when I was at school,
0:02:16 > 0:02:17A Man For All Seasons.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21But I think I decided a long while ago that what skills I did have
0:02:21 > 0:02:23were placed at the other side of the stage
0:02:23 > 0:02:24rather than treading the boards.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I'm told you're quite a collector.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Yeah, I've got quite a music collection, Eric.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31You know, probably 700-800 albums,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34full catalogue of Frank Zappa material.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39And I've also got a collection of 1970s football silk scarves,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41which my wife absolutely adores.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I'm finding that difficult to believe, forgive me.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46OK, she's not quite as keen as me
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- and they are actually in a suitcase in the loft.- Yeah.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51But one day, one day, I am hoping that they will adorn the house.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52- Now I believe you.- OK.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56So, Jack, you share any of the same interests as your father?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Well, yeah. I mean, obviously, little things like watching TV.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- He's got me into Bargain Hunt, for one.- Yeah.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03But sports - sports was a big thing that, kind of,
0:03:03 > 0:03:04my dad's always passed down to me.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07I'm a huge football fan, a big Liverpool fan.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09I didn't follow in his footsteps with Southampton.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12But I also, like, love running. So, you know, me and my brother
0:03:12 > 0:03:13would always go out running, and my mum.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16So, I'm always kind of just doing anything active, really.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I believe you've actually done the marathon?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Yes, yeah, last year. So, me and my brother kind of...
0:03:20 > 0:03:21He dragged me into it, I suppose.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24That was basically what took up the whole of last year.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Actually, halfway around, when I was with my brother,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- he actually asked me to be the best man at his wedding.- No!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Yeah, which was lovely going through the Isle of Dogs,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33but then at the same time, wasn't really quite the time
0:03:33 > 0:03:34to be talking about those things.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Listen, boys, what about tactics? You must have discussed this.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- We're going to buy things we like, Eric, I think.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Yeah. You know, it's not hard.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- We'd like to win, we'd like to make profits...- Yeah.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45But more importantly, buy things we like.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47OK, all right. Well, wonderful.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Now, Maya, tell me, you're retired these days?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- I am, yes.- So, how are you filling the days?
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Grandchildren, obviously.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I follow the local rugby, the local team, plus the national team.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02And also, we play darts on a Thursday night
0:04:02 > 0:04:05for our ladies' darts league and I'm the treasurer of the league.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08And Sharon here is captain of our team.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11And I believe you're also something of a big music fan.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Absolutely. I love Tom Jones.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Been to all his concerts and I actually managed to kiss him once.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18- You did?- I did.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Oh, very good.- Lives long in the memory.- Right!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24So, Sharon, how do you get on with your mum?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26We get on very well. We're very close.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28We only live four doors apart.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32So, what about your hobbies? Are you big on music?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Not so much music, I like jigsaw puzzles.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- The bigger, the better. - All right, OK.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- My biggest one so far is 4,000. - No!- But I'd like to do bigger.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43But I need, you know, more space.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- You both obviously get on well together.- Yes.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I instinctively can feel it between the two of you.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Mother and daughter bond.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52So, you're going to have to bond on tactics, aren't you?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I get overexcited and she calms me down.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56- I rein her in.- Oh, I see, right.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- I rein her in.- Yes.- OK. Before you can start,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- you're going to need some money, aren't you?- Yes, please.- OK.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- I'm going to give you £300. - That's very kind of you, thank you.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07And not to be outdone, Reds, there's your £300.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Thank you.- At this stage, I've got to send you off
0:05:09 > 0:05:12to meet your experts. So, we'll catch you later.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13- Great.- Thank you.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18And we've lined up a couple of talented folk for today's teams.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Helping out the Reds, it's me old china, Caroline Hawley.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Aiming for a bull's-eye for the Blues, it's Thomas Plant.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30So, Rich, what are you looking for today?
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Right, I'm looking for things
0:05:31 > 0:05:33that we're going to... That we like, Caroline,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35but I'd like to buy some silver, some Deco, maybe.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Right, OK. And what about you, Jack?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I mean, I'd like to get something with some actual, real history.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- OK.- So, something that's actually really old.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- I'm looking for something wooden. I like wood.- Wooden?
0:05:45 > 0:05:46I like wood, I like the feel of wood.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Good. And what about you, Sharon? - Something nautical.- Nautical!
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Right, teams, you've got 60 minutes, and your time starts now.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Right, in we go.- As the teams hit the antique shops
0:05:58 > 0:06:01in Leominster High Street, let battle commence.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Where are we going to go?- That way. - That way?- Yes.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Were you going to say that way, Sharon?- Yes.- Were you?- I was, I was!
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Off you go. I'm leaving you, bye-bye.- Bye!
0:06:13 > 0:06:16So, while Sharon and Maya are galloping away,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19it seems the Reds are off to a good start, too.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Do you have a similar taste, do you think, in antiques?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- I mean, when we...- I think...- When we watch things like Bargain Hunt...
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Yeah.- Then we'll quite often agree on what...- We have.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30What we think is good and what we think is bad.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Good, good, that's a very good sign. - And things that we like, you know...
0:06:33 > 0:06:34- OK.- Oh, this is old and silver.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36A pair of Victorian salts.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Oh, that fits your criteria. - Yes.- Over 100 years old.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- But, I mean, it's over 100 years old.- Yeah.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Very often, they have blue glass liners...
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Yeah, where's the liners? Yeah.- To stop the salt corroding the silver.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- OK, right.- Which it does very, very badly.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52So, they might well have had liners.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56And they'll be quite light in weight, I think that it's...
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- It's not a bad price... - Yeah.- 40-ish.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01And the Blues might have found something
0:07:01 > 0:07:02from their shopping list, too.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- I like the wooden bowls. - What do you like about them?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I just like the look and the feel of them, they're solid.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Do know what that effect is called on there?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11No, I don't. What is it?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Adzed.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- Adzed. It is!- Is it?- It's called adzed when it's all rough like that.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Right.- Yeah.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- I just really like it. - Sometimes you get tables,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22which has got this adzed effect to it.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Yes, it's £58, which is a rather expensive fruit bowl,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- I would believe. - Yeah.- Yes.- But I just like it.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31It's just to say the sort of thing that I like.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- I like it as well.- Good. - But I think at 58, it's...
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- I think there'll be other things, though.- Move on.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39So, off they go in pursuit of more wood.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41That rocking horse is rather nice, isn't it?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Do you think?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- £280.- Oh, I see! Too expensive.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48You have got expensive taste!
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Back to the Reds who are still browsing for silver.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54What about cigarette cases? How do they do?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Not brilliantly, because people don't use them
0:07:58 > 0:08:01for cigarettes any more. And they tend to be, very often,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03not worth much more than their weight in silver.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05OK, that sounds like a no.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07But onwards and upwards.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10So, while the Reds keep wondering, I wonder how the Blues are getting on.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Yes, yeah.- It's a very small little stool, isn't it?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- It's a very small little stool! - £58.- Yeah, that's too...
0:08:15 > 0:08:18It's quite lovely, the elm, the wood.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Would you get any profit, on that though?- No.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- THEY LAUGH - OK.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Oh, I love this egg...
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Eggs, there's just... - Egg weighter there.- Yeah, yeah.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Oh, isn't that lovely? - Oh, that's nice, Sharon.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29- I like that.- Yeah, yeah.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31This an Edwardian dozen egg rack, £34.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Not really.- If we got it lower in price...- We got it lower, yes.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Possibly.- That could be a possibility, couldn't it?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Yeah, yeah.- 34. What were you thinking?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- I was thinking 20.- Yeah, it was between 15 to 20, I was thinking.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Yeah.- We could bargain later, maybe.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Well, you could go and bargain now! - Oh, could I?- Yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53So, what are you waiting for, Maya? Haggling skills at the ready.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- What's the verdict? - £20.- £20.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Oh, that's not bad. - And what have you said?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I said I'll come back and speak to you.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- So, I think at £20, I think that's rather charming.- Yes, I think...
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- I think it's charming, don't you? - Yes.- Yes, I do. And it's wooden.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- And it's wooden.- Yes! And I like it, and we like it.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Well done, ladies.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Just under 15 minutes in and you have your first purchase.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16That's what I like to see.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18She's brilliant. Your mother's hilarious!
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Now, how are the Reds getting on?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I start to feel the pressure after a little while.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Are you feeling the pressure, Rich? - I am! I am feeling a little...
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Oh, it's only going to get worse. It is going to get worse.- I am sure.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Hey, Dad, there's a 1930s Art Deco clock over here.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36- Is there? Let's have a look. - Oh, yes, he said Art Deco.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- Oh, yeah.- It's not the nicest Art Deco piece I've ever seen.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42No, it's not quite what I meant, Jack.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- My God, you try and please some people!- I know!
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Never mind, Jack.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Back to the busy Blues
0:09:48 > 0:09:51and Sharon has spotted something from her wish list.
0:09:51 > 0:09:57What does it say on here? It says "brass ship's bell", dated 1939.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59With bracket, it says, "with later hanging".
0:09:59 > 0:10:01So, this is later, this is brand-new,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03can you see it's brand-new?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Right, I see.- Yeah.- You want my honest opinion?
0:10:06 > 0:10:10It's nautical, and it's £95, but I don't think...
0:10:10 > 0:10:13A, it's not homogenous, as in it all goes together.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Right.- Or I think it's a sort of, what we would term as...
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- The old and the new. - Well, yes, it's a bit of a mix.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20- Put that one back.- It's heavy.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22At least we found something nautical to begin with.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- We found something nautical. - Yeah, and I'm sure
0:10:24 > 0:10:25there will be other things.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27It might be nautical, but it's not nice.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30That's the attitude! Keep on looking.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Meanwhile, are the Reds any closer
0:10:31 > 0:10:34to finding their first item with this brooch?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I would put my money on that that that's jet.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38- OK.- From Whitby. Not far from me.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Well, myself and my wife, we were in Whitby a couple of years ago,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44we were looking at jet and we never bought any and we kicked ourselves
0:10:44 > 0:10:46for not doing it, to be honest with you.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Ah, well, there are lots of copies of jet.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53I mean, jet hit the peak of popularity in the mid-19th century.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Yeah.- When Queen Victoria's husband died
0:10:56 > 0:10:59and she went into a prolonged period of mourning,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01jet was perfect for mourning jewellery,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03but there are lots of people that copied it.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05French jet, do you know what that is?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07No, no, I'd only ever heard of Whitby.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Right, French jet is not jet at all. It's glass.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15- There were copies made in bog oak, or vulcanite.- Mm-hm.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Jet is a form of fossilised wood.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- OK. Can I have a look at it, do you mind?- Yeah.- OK.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25So, is that something that you might be interested in?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27You see, I like it, I mean, it is slightly chipped.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Just a tiny smidgen. - Tiny little chip.- Yeah.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32So, is that 10 or is that 16?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Wishful thinking, you want it to be a tenner.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Oh, obviously I want it to be a tenner.- I think it's 16.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- OK.- But we can ask. - We can only ask.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41I think we should ask,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44it would be nice to get one under our belt.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45- Yeah.- We both like it.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Right, well, do you want to go and see if you can enquire?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Yeah, I'll give it a go, why not? - Right, off you go.- There you go.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- Is he a good haggler? - I think he probably will be.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Off you go, Jack, and good luck negotiating
0:11:55 > 0:11:57with Nicola from Minster House Antiques.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Would she go for ten?- 12.
0:12:00 > 0:12:0212? 12?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- 11, cut it in the middle? - 11? 11.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- 11's fine, let's go for it.- OK. Sorted.- Safe, thank you very much.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- £11 I got it for.- Ooh!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12So, not bad, a fiver off.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- That is brilliant.- Chuffed to bits. - Close enough.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16And I am sure that's jet.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Well, the lady on the phone said it was jet, so...
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Yeah, and that is for nothing.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- Honestly, that really is.- Brilliant.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I was in Whitby recently and they are so much more money.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- I remember how much they were. - Brilliant.- Fantastic.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Great, good boy.- One done. - Yes! Brilliant.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Let's go get number two.- Let's go.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36So, we're just under the halfway mark and both teams
0:12:36 > 0:12:38now have one item in the bag.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- We won't be able to afford that. - I know, but isn't it gorgeous?
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Gorgeous, but at £295, maybe a little bit too pricey for our Reds.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49It's old, but it's not in great condition.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- It is old.- No.- The condition worries me, to be honest with you.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Yeah. We need old and good. - Old and good.- Keep looking.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57So, what have the Blues spotted?
0:12:57 > 0:13:02That... Is that an inkwell in the middle, looks like a capstan?
0:13:02 > 0:13:03Yes, it does.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Nautical, you see.- It is.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06It's a capstan inkwell.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Would you like to have a look at it? And it is silver.- Yes, please.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Cabinet 56, I'll go and get the key. - Thank you.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- I like it, do you like it? - I do like it.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Right, here we are, it's this one here, Stan.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Down below?- No, the top one, actually.- Ah, right.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23There we are.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27So, you've got the anchor mark there for Birmingham,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29the lion passant for the silver.
0:13:29 > 0:13:321914, 1915.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Yes, it's got a monogram on it. Slightly dented in places.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39But it is a capstan. £75.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41What do you think?
0:13:41 > 0:13:45I think £75 is a little bit too much, Stan.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well, we'll see if we can squeeze it down a bit for you.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Would you mind? - I'll certainly have a go.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Let me have it, I'll make a phone call.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53That would be good, you know, maybe, maybe you could be
0:13:53 > 0:13:57really, really cheeky and ask them if it could start with a 4?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02So, while the Blues are waiting for a price,
0:14:02 > 0:14:03what have the Reds stumbled across?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- And there we go.- There we go.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Look at that, that's a proper job.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Now, that's a lovely wooden-bound trunk.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Look at the inside, oh, gosh.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I mean, the hinge may have gone a little, but...
0:14:18 > 0:14:20That's all metal.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- It's wooden-bound there, which is nice.- Hm.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Has it got a handle at your side?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Yeah, it's got a handle on my side, it's got a handle on your side.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- A handle on both sides.- Yeah. - It's got the locking mechanism,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- I mean, I don't know whether... - I don't think...
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- It's only going to be decorative, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- It's functional, someone's going to use that.- Yeah.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38It's a nice condition. It's a nice colour.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- It is, it is a nice condition. I like it.- Right.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- I like it, I really do. - What about price? How much is it?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Well, it says, it was 78 and it's on sale for 48.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Right.- I mean, how much do you think we should be paying for this,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- Caroline, would you say?- I think it needs to be a bit less.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54OK, Dad, do you want to have a go at getting this one?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- Yeah, I do. I like it. - Give it a go, then.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Are you a good negotiator?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Whether I'm as good as Jack, we shall see,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- but I'm going to give it a go, Caroline.- Good! Bon chance!
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Brilliant, I'm off. Thank you.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06So, whilst Richard is off to clinch a deal,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08will it be good news for the Blues?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Yes, we can do it for £45.- Whoa!
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Oh, excellent! Thank you. - What are you going to do?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- I'm going to shake the gentleman's hand.- Do that.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.- Well done, Blues.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20So, that's the second item ticked off your list.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Back with the Reds and has Richard secured a deal on the trunk?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- We're going to do it. - OK.- Thank you very much.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28- £40, then.- Thank you. - Thank you.- Cheers.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- It's done.- It's done?- Good!
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Could only get it for 40,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I tried to get it a little bit cheaper, but at the end of the day,
0:15:35 > 0:15:36me and Jack, we both like it.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- Brilliant.- And if 40's the price,
0:15:38 > 0:15:40then they'll just have to buy it for 50.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Brilliant!- Yeah. - That's the attitude, Reds.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45And your second item is bought.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46OK, guys, what you want to do now?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Do you want to stay here or do you want to go somewhere else
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- for the third one?- I think we bought two things here,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- let's go and give another shop a try.- Right, OK.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Right, we've got 20 minutes to get the last item.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Or more!- Here we go, then.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06So, are you pleased with how it's going Caroline?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09These guys are doing really, really well.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12They've got two fantastic buys
0:16:12 > 0:16:15and I'm sure the third one will be equally good.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18With the Reds now in the same antique centre,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20the Blues are heading upstairs.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22So, how are things going, Thomas?
0:16:22 > 0:16:27So far, spent £65 on two items, which is pretty good going.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31They've both got what they wanted, which is very good.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33What's the third item going to be?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Could it be this bamboo umbrella stand?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- That is lovely.- It is a nice thing, isn't it?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Yes, I like that.- We can always come back to it, have a walk around.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Come on.- So, that's one for the back burner.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Meanwhile, what does Jack have his eye on?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48What have you spied there, Jack?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- A spyglass with a leather case.- Ooh!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Read that.- By Ross of London.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59And it's owned by a Major-General Napier of the Gordon Highlanders.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- And how much is it?- £160.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Do you think we should keep looking?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- We can always come back to that, can't we?- Yeah.- We've got...
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- We'll put it away.- We've got money to come back to that if we need to.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Those are pretty, those lovely, lovely brass
0:17:14 > 0:17:16in enamel-inlaid candlesticks.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Aren't they gorgeous?
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Do you like those?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- I don't.- No, no!
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Because I don't like candlesticks. - I can see,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- they were met with a disgust!- Yes.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Anything else in this cabinet you like?
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- The dolphin.- Royal Crown Derby dolphin paperweight.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34It's £95.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- It's quite expensive. - It is quick expensive.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Of course, if you slashed down the price, you might get a profit
0:17:41 > 0:17:43because there are lots of collectors out there
0:17:43 > 0:17:44for Royal Crown Derby paperweights.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47But I don't know if the dolphin is a rare one.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I think it's quite a big risk to spend the thick end of £100.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I think I'd rather try and do a deal on the...
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- The...- Umbrella stand. - Umbrella stand.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- The sticks, the umbrella stand? - I really like that.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- Do you like that, Sharon?- Yes.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Shall we walk around and see if we see anything else
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- on the way round? - Walk round this way, shall we?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Hm, I'm disappointed about the candlesticks.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Never mind, but hurry, Thomas, your team is running out of time.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Back to the Reds and are things fairing any better?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Oh, you found your Deco!- Just seen this little bit of Deco.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- It's got....- Ah, it's got the glass liner.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18It's got the glass liner, which isn't always there, is it?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- No, not at all.- I don't know if these things still...
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Ah, they still turn! - They still turn nicely.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25See, that is very contemporary.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27The black and the chrome.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- I think that looks great, yeah. - It does look great.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I'm... I wish it was sort of...
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- What?- 40 quid cheaper!- Yeah.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36But yeah, looks great.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- 120, to me, seems steep.- I know.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42I mean, I mean, if we could get it for significantly cheaper...
0:18:42 > 0:18:45I was going to ask the question, do you think 80 would be a goer?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48There's a chance, you haven't got many others,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- because we are going, going, going. - Yeah, no, well...
0:18:51 > 0:18:52We've got very few minutes left.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- I will see what I can do.- Right.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Go on, Jack, good luck.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59OK, brilliant, I really want to look into this...
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- Yeah.- And I really need the very, very bottom price
0:19:02 > 0:19:03that we can do on this.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Well, it says £120, the very, very bottom price
0:19:06 > 0:19:09would be £90 to you, sir.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12You see, we were looking at 70 or 80, do you think there's any way?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- Hmm...- I mean, really, 70 is what we were looking at.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I'll see if we can squeeze it down a bit more for you.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19That would be fantastic.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22120, said 90, they're saying 70.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- Your powers of persuasion have won. - There we go, fantastic!
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- It can be 75. - 75, I think 75 would be brilliant.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- Is that a deal?- It's a deal.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Brilliant, Reg, you've done it.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Three items in the bag, with only five minutes to spare.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I couldn't get it for 80.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- But I did get it for 75. - Oh!- So, not bad, hey?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- Brilliant.- That's pretty good! - That's really good!
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Excellent, well, done, you! - I'm pleased with that.- Brilliant.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48All the items got, and I'm delighted,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- because we only have five minutes left.- Great!
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Ha-ha!- As many as five?!- Yes!
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Well, we're going to have to make decisions.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57So, with only minutes to go,
0:19:57 > 0:20:01will they go back to the stick stand that was priced at £75?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04We need a really good price on that.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- You want to come with me? - Come on, then.- Yeah?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14We've got this.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- And we like it.- Very much.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- And it's £75. - It is.- Can we offer 30?
0:20:20 > 0:20:24No, but seeing as I gave you 45 before, I can make it 45,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- but that would be the best. - Yes?- What do you think?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- What do you think?- I think we should go for it.- I like it.- Yeah?
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- Come on, three items.- Yes! - Yes? Third item sold? Yay!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- I think that's brilliant. - Well done, Blues,
0:20:36 > 0:20:38you've clinched your final deal in the nick of time.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Teams, your time's up!
0:20:43 > 0:20:45OK, come on, let's go and get that cup of tea.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Yes.- Yeah, come on.- Right.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55First, they got lucky with this horseshoe-shaped jet brooch,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57costing them £11.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00And on their travels, they found this trunk, bought for £40.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08And finally, this Art Deco-style desk stand was picked up for £75.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Caroline, they spread the net far and wide, these two, didn't they?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14They did, indeed, yes. Yes.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18But it was quite specific what you were looking for, wasn't it, Jack?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Yeah, we had an idea in our minds at the start,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22and we pretty much stuck to it, I think, we did pretty well there.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23- Yeah, I think so.- Mmm.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26And then you brought your secret weapon with you.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- Here he is, Jack the haggler! - Indeed.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31I mean, what a bargainer! Is it second nature to you?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34It's just years of trying to skimp off him, I think, most of the time.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36I'm trying to make sure I'm paying as little as possible!
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Tell me, Jack, what was your favourite item?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Er, my favourite item, the trunk.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42The trunk that we got for the second item, I think that was really cool.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- You like that?- Yeah, I thought that was good.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Which of the three do you think's going to give you
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- the biggest profit?- I think probably the jet brooch.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51The jet. Richard, what about you, favourite item?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Favourite item is the Art Deco desk stand, definitely.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57But in terms of profit, I think possibly the trunk might, you know,
0:21:57 > 0:21:58I think that could surprise.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- That might surprise you? - Yeah, I think so.- OK.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02So, what was your total spend?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04£126.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- Yep.- £126, which means that you're going to give me...
0:22:08 > 0:22:13All right for this. £174, is that correct?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Yes, there you go.- 174.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Caroline, you can work wonders with that for the bonus buy, can't you?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Thank you! I can indeed, and I've got my eye on something.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Oh, have you indeed?- Mmm.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26So, while Caroline goes off in pursuit of the bonus buy,
0:22:26 > 0:22:28let's find out how the Blue team got on.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32First up, will this wooden rack turn out to be a profitable nest egg
0:22:32 > 0:22:35at the auction? Price paid, £20.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Next, they signed a deal on this silver Capstan inkwell,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40costing them £45.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47And finally, this bamboo umbrella stand was bought for £45.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51So, Thomas, a steady buy,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54and focused, wanting something nautical,
0:22:54 > 0:22:58you know, tick. And the other items, you know,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01they both seem to be very functional and useful things, yes?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Very functional, very useful.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- I think these two are quite careful with their money.- Mmm.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08So, Maya, what was your favourite buy?
0:23:08 > 0:23:12The umbrella-cum-stick stand, I like that very much.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15And what do you think is going to give you the biggest profit?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- I think maybe that one, actually. - You think so?- Yes.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20I think it could actually fly out, I like it.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21So, Sharon, your favourite buy?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24My silver nautical item.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- Oh, right, the capstan ink stand. - That's the one.- Right.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- You did find something nautical after all.- I did, yes.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Well done, you. But what's going to give you the biggest profit?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35I think the egg stand, or the egg holder.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Oh, right. Yeah, again, a functional object.- Yes.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41So, what was your total spend, ladies?
0:23:41 > 0:23:42£110.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45£110, right.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48So, you're going to give me £190.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53- I am.- OK. Thomas, £190, it's yours.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Well, do you know what, I think I've learned from these two
0:23:56 > 0:23:58how to be careful with one's money.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00So, I might not spend it all.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01- Oh!- Ooh!- Right, OK.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05While Thomas goes off on his careful spend,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07I'm off to explore a little bit of local history.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13THEY CHEER
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Well, Morris dancing might appear to be
0:24:15 > 0:24:17one of those age-old English traditions,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19but like so many folk customs,
0:24:19 > 0:24:24its origins appear to have been lost in the mists of time
0:24:24 > 0:24:26and I'm here to find out more.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Putting me through my paces is Mike Salter,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35who's a bit of an expert on the history of Morris dancing,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38and who's also the leader of the Madcap Morris dance group.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Sticking... Partner!
0:24:43 > 0:24:45On the side...
0:24:45 > 0:24:48So, take me back in time to how it all began.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52The first records of Morris are mid-15th century.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Nobody knows, really, how it started,
0:24:54 > 0:24:59but one theory that bears some weight is that it's a result of
0:24:59 > 0:25:02one of Edward III's sons, known as John of Gaunt,
0:25:02 > 0:25:03who married a Spanish princess.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- Yes.- The Spanish had a tradition of a fighting dance,
0:25:07 > 0:25:11commemorated a victory over the Moors in the mid-12th century.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- Mm-hmm.- So, this is a dance where people clashed swords together.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18And, indeed, swords were used for Morris in this country
0:25:18 > 0:25:20until at least the 18th century.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Whilst the earliest records place Morris dancing
0:25:24 > 0:25:27within the royal courts, by the 17th century,
0:25:27 > 0:25:31it was performed as a popular folk dance in the parishes.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34But changing attitudes and the loss of patronage
0:25:34 > 0:25:37led to the decline of Morris dancing during the 19th century.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Until Cecil Sharp, a music teacher from Somerset,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45started the revival of this popular folk dance.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Fortunately, Cecil Sharp came around and discovered the Headington Morris
0:25:50 > 0:25:52in 1899.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54And he got interested in their dances,
0:25:54 > 0:25:58and collected the dances from the Cotswold area.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00The interest generated by his collection
0:26:00 > 0:26:04of over 100 Morris and sword dances from across the country
0:26:04 > 0:26:06definitely kept the tradition alive.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09At least until the two World Wars claimed the lives of many
0:26:09 > 0:26:11of those revival dancers,
0:26:11 > 0:26:15and Morris dancing was again on the verge of extinction.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18And then, more recently, in the '60s and '70s,
0:26:18 > 0:26:19there's been, like, another boom,
0:26:19 > 0:26:24and the Welsh Border Morris that we perform is part of that.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28The essential thing about the Border Morris
0:26:28 > 0:26:32is that the original collected dances are actually quite simple,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34as indeed would be the costume.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Whereas the Cotswold Morris and the north-west Morris
0:26:37 > 0:26:40are much more complicated forms of dance,
0:26:40 > 0:26:42because they had better patronages, you know,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44from the lord of the manor, or from, you know,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47people paying the teams to perform, and that sort of thing.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Now, the thing is, Mike, when I think about Morris dancers,
0:26:52 > 0:26:54I think of Morris men.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59Currently, in the UK, there's something like about 700 sides,
0:26:59 > 0:27:04or teams, of which roughly probably 40% would be mixed -
0:27:04 > 0:27:08so mixed teams are in fashion now!
0:27:15 > 0:27:16- Cross over! - THEY CHEER
0:27:16 > 0:27:18So, how long have you been Morris dancing?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Er, about eight years.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Eight years.- About that. - Right.- Yeah.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25I just love dancing, and I discovered this,
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- so I had to do it as well. - Sue, what about you?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30I'd seen other Morris dancers and thought I really liked it,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32and I like the fact that it's Border,
0:27:32 > 0:27:37and it's with sticks and very much flamboyant and fun.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Turn around!
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Goodness me, that was great fun.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47I'd love to stay, but I've got to find an auction somewhere out there.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49When you've got to go, you've got to go.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Well, from Herefordshire, we've moved back
0:28:05 > 0:28:08into the county of Worcestershire. We're at the Malvern Saleroom,
0:28:08 > 0:28:12and I am with the proprietor and auctioneer,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14none other than Mr Philip Serrell.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- Mr Eric Knowles, how are you, sir? - I'm very well, thank you.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19- It's lovely to see you, Eric. - Well, thank you, too.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- We've got to be, again, very businesslike, Phil.- Yep.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25The Red team today is Jack and Richard.
0:28:25 > 0:28:31And they have bought, for starters, a little Whitby jet brooch.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- Do you want to have a look?- Yeah. I quite like that.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36And I don't know if this is by accident or design,
0:28:36 > 0:28:40but there's quite a big horse and hunting fraternity around here,
0:28:40 > 0:28:43so that might actually just go on someone's wish list.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44We put £5 to £10 on it.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47If they have a result, it could make 15 or 20 quid.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49OK, well, they're going to need a result,
0:28:49 > 0:28:50- because they paid £11 for that. - OK, yep.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Second item is, wait for this...
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- They're everywhere these days, aren't they?- They are, aren't they?
0:28:56 > 0:28:58But I think that's quite cool, isn't it? Erm...
0:28:58 > 0:29:00We've put £20-40 on that.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02It's a bit of a plain Jane, I thought,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04but I quite like the wooden banding to it.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- They paid £40 for it.- Mmm.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09It seems to be the going rate out there, retail, isn't it?
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Yeah, it is. Very much so, very much so.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- But it's all there, isn't it? - Either way,
0:29:13 > 0:29:18their final purchase was this Art Deco ink stand.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19Would it be called Art Deco?
0:29:19 > 0:29:23I go in for calling things like this sort of art moderne.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25- Yeah.- Erm...- It's a bit later, isn't it?
0:29:25 > 0:29:27It is. Certainly the 1930s.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31Yeah. I love the calendar in the middle, I love the inkwell.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34But the fact that the pen holder doesn't have a pen
0:29:34 > 0:29:36just, for me, kind of holds it back a bit.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40And that's, for me, why I put £20-40 on it.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43I might be being a bit mean, but it's just, you know...
0:29:43 > 0:29:45It's missing something.
0:29:45 > 0:29:46Well, they paid £75 for it.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48I think you are being a bit mean there,
0:29:48 > 0:29:52but the proof will be not in the pudding, but in the selling.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Absolutely right. I'll try and do my best.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Well, after all that, will they need their bonus buy?
0:29:58 > 0:29:59Well, let's take a look.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05Well, you did leave our Caroline here £174 to go out and spend,
0:30:05 > 0:30:08and spend she did.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10So, Caroline, show us your spend.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Ooh!
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- Do you know what it is? - Is it a vinaigrette?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17It is. Tiny little vinaigrette.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- It's a really small one, isn't it? - Really beautiful.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23And the silver mark here, it's marked for Birmingham.
0:30:23 > 0:30:251783.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- Blimey, that is old.- That is old. - That is old, really old.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30That is old, isn't it? That is ancient.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Inside here, there would be a sponge impregnated with oils,
0:30:34 > 0:30:37so a lady could hold it under her nose
0:30:37 > 0:30:40to take away the foul-smelling sewers.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42- And there's the sponge still inside. - Oh, wow.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45How much did you spend on it?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Well, I think I did quite well, though I say it myself.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50I paid £100.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- OK.- OK, and what do you think it'll make, Caroline?
0:30:53 > 0:30:58- I think it could make as much as 150, or even a bit more.- OK.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59Well, as always, fellas,
0:30:59 > 0:31:01you don't have to make your decision
0:31:01 > 0:31:04until you've sold your first three items.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08But in the meantime, let's find out what our auctioneer has to say
0:31:08 > 0:31:10about Caroline's Georgian gorgeousness.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15So, here it is, Phil, one bonus buy.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17This is clearly
0:31:17 > 0:31:20if you only needed a short sniff and not a long sniff,
0:31:20 > 0:31:23because it's one of the smallest vinaigrettes I have ever seen.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25I have never seen one as small as that.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Vinaigrettes used to make three figures all the time, all day long.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32I see this at being sort of perhaps £60-90.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34She paid £100.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36It is tiny.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- It is, isn't it?- Do think that might sort of make it,
0:31:39 > 0:31:42for want of a better term, stand out that bit more?
0:31:42 > 0:31:46- Well, I hope it does.- Well, I've said it before, but time will tell.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48So, that's the Red team.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Meantime, let's go over and see what the Blue team bought.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52This is Maya and Sharon.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55And that's quite an egg stand you've got there, isn't it?
0:31:55 > 0:31:59It is. I mean, we can't afford that many eggs in our house.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03But I can see that having a certain amount of desirability,
0:32:03 > 0:32:04but I can't see it beyond £5-10.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07OK, well, they paid £20 for it,
0:32:07 > 0:32:09so they may be taking a hit on that one.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11I think with item number two,
0:32:11 > 0:32:14they're going to stand a slightly better chance.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Yeah, well, it's a capstan inkwell.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18It's hallmarked Birmingham, 1911.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21I mean, I see that making £40-60.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Oh, well, they paid £45 for it, so, I mean,
0:32:24 > 0:32:28that could readdress the balance if the eggs don't do their stuff.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32But their final lot I find very pleasing.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37Well, I love that. I mean, you're the expert, Eric, but those to me,
0:32:37 > 0:32:38they're clearly not,
0:32:38 > 0:32:41but they're very reminiscent of Moorcroft tiles.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Bamboo furniture, it's collectible.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45It's nice that it's got this drip tray here,
0:32:45 > 0:32:47whether it's original or not, I don't know.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50But a lot of them have either rusted away or rotted away,
0:32:50 > 0:32:54and I've put what I think is a fairly mean £50-80 on that.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Well, they paid 45 for it.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57I think you're fair to say
0:32:57 > 0:32:59that there could be a reasonable profit in that,
0:32:59 > 0:33:03but will they or will they not need their bonus buy?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Well, let's found out what it is.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Thomas, you went and spent. Well, what did you spend on?
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- Ooh!- I got you this... This is really...- Ooh!
0:33:14 > 0:33:20This is a novelty inkwell in the form of a rugby ball.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22It could be a football, but I think
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- it more looks like a rugby ball, really.- Rugby ball.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26And cos you've got the stitching here,
0:33:26 > 0:33:30and it's a novelty inkwell where you dip your pen in the ink there.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Made in Britain, 1910-1920.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35See on the base, we've got a registered design mark here.
0:33:35 > 0:33:40It's in stoneware, it was a grand total of £88.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41- Ooh.- Yeah. A lot of money, actually.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43A lot of money for a novelty thing like this.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45But it is... I've never seen one since
0:33:45 > 0:33:48and I don't think I'll see another one for a while.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51So, how much do you think that would make at auction, then, Thomas?
0:33:51 > 0:33:55Well, this is a chancy lot, because I paid £88 for it,
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- as you know. So, that's quite a lot of money, £88.- Yes.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00So, it could make a small profit.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03But then again, it could fly and make 120, 130,
0:34:03 > 0:34:07140 if there is that collector in the room.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Which we hope there is.- Fingers crossed.- Maybe a bidder online.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Somebody's left a bid because it's so rare.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Well ladies, do remember that you don't have to make your decision
0:34:15 > 0:34:17until you've sold all three items.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19So, in the meantime,
0:34:19 > 0:34:21let's find out what the auctioneer has to say
0:34:21 > 0:34:24about Thomas' novelty inkwell.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Well there it is, Phil.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29It's an inkwell.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31I think that's going to appeal to someone
0:34:31 > 0:34:34who collects sports memorabilia. I quite like that.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38I think it's going to make probably, I don't know, £60-90,
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- that sort of region. - You've seen one before?
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- No, never ever.- Neither have I, neither have I.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Paid £80 for it, did our Tom.- Yeah.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49I think it's one of those things, you see it,
0:34:49 > 0:34:51and you either buy it on the basis that you know
0:34:51 > 0:34:53you'll probably never see another one again.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- So, you on the rostrum today, Phil? - Indeed I am.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58We're in a pair of very safe hands.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02£40 to start. 45, 45...
0:35:02 > 0:35:04GAVEL BANGS
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- How we feeling, boys? - Good.- Yeah.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08A bit nervous, but...
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- Who knows?- Great expectations?
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Well...
0:35:13 > 0:35:16I expect things to sell, and I think we'll make a profit, but...
0:35:16 > 0:35:19We might surprise ourselves, Eric. We just might surprise ourselves.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Good, good. I think if you think positive, things will happen.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22- Absolutely.- OK.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Lot number 373 is a little... A lovely little jet brooch.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28I don't know, maybe £10 to start. Quick, quick. Who's got a tenner?
0:35:28 > 0:35:30£5, quickly.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Five, I'm bid, five, eight, ten.

0:39:37 > 0:39:41OK. Right, so you've made a £5 profit
0:39:41 > 0:39:44which takes us to minus £10.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- Just minus 10.- So, we're chipping away at that.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49So, here comes your third and final item,
0:39:49 > 0:39:53- it's the bamboo sort of hall stand. - Yes.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56£45, you paid for it, I think that was a good buy.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57Bid me £100 to start.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11- Who's got £30?- Go on!
0:40:11 > 0:40:1330 I am bid on the net, at 30.
0:40:13 > 0:40:1435, 35.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18Look at the tiles on the back, at £35 I'm only bid.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19Is there any more at all?
0:40:19 > 0:40:24And £35 and I sell then at 35 and done, thank you.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Oh, dear!
0:40:26 > 0:40:29You paid £45, sold it for £35, minus 10.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33You were already at minus 10, so we're now at minus 20.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35- What about the bonus buy? - I can't advise you!
0:40:35 > 0:40:37No, you've got to make your own minds up.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38- Got to make your own mind up.- OK.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Remember exactly what it cost?
0:40:41 > 0:40:42Tommy said...
0:40:42 > 0:40:45It cost £88, but Tommy said he'd never seen one like it before.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46I haven't, no.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49- OK.- So, as we're on a minus situation, anyway...
0:40:49 > 0:40:52- I love your logic. - Hey, that's what I like.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54- Welsh rugby.- Fighting spirit.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58Lot number 413 is this really cool...
0:40:58 > 0:41:00I think it's probably an inkwell.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03But it's a football or a rugby ball.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Bid me for that, start me, who's got £100?
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Bid me £50 to start.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Come on!
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- Bid me £20 to start.- Oh, no! Come on.- Surely?
0:41:14 > 0:41:1620, I'm bid at 20. 20 bid.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Internet, this is for you.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22At £20, only bid at 20, 25 on the net, 30 is it now.
0:41:22 > 0:41:2330, five.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25At 35, 35.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28At 35. Any more at all?
0:41:28 > 0:41:32At £35 and I sell, then, at 35 and done, thank you.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Oh!
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Sadly, that was a loss of minus £53.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41We were already minus 20, we're now at minus 73.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45So, you were very brave going on the bonus buy, I've got to say,
0:41:45 > 0:41:47and not a word to the Reds, OK?
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Well, I think we had a fun little show today.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03I really do, because all teams, you bought good and interesting objects.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07And so, it's hard to say who's the runner-up,
0:42:07 > 0:42:08but we do have to have one.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12And so, the runner-up today, I can tell you, is our Blue team.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14- ALL:- Oh!
0:42:14 > 0:42:15I'm so sorry.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20If we'd have just had a few more sporting memorabilia enthusiasts,
0:42:20 > 0:42:22it could have been all so different, couldn't it?
0:42:22 > 0:42:23It could. But we've enjoyed it.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25You have enjoyed, and that's all I really need to know.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29I have to say that your final total was minus 73.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Don't dwell on that, just dwell on the fun factor.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34And Reds, what do we say?
0:42:34 > 0:42:38I mean, it really was down to that bonus buy today, wasn't it?
0:42:38 > 0:42:40- Brilliant.- Yeah.- Caroline, absolute genius.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Yeah, at £280.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45She paid 100 for it.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48- £180 worth of profit. - All down to her.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50You can see what I'm talking about.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53I mean... So, full marks all round.
0:42:53 > 0:43:00So, in total, you did yourself £134 worth of profit.
0:43:00 > 0:43:01- Thank you very much.- OK?- Lovely.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05So, despite the result, a splendid time was had by all, yes?
