0:00:02 > 0:00:05MUSIC: Don't You Want Me by The Human League
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Today, we are in Hungerford in Berkshire,
0:00:10 > 0:00:13and I've got a hunger for dance.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Well, this takes me back to the '80s, and even now,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27I can still throw some moves on the dance floor,
0:00:27 > 0:00:31so let's get a groove on - let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Today, our teams are shopping in Hungerford.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00From retro recorders to vintage vinyl,
0:01:00 > 0:01:03from serious ceramics to pretty paintings,
0:01:03 > 0:01:06the Hungerford High Street has it all.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Our teams as usual have 60 minutes to buy three items
0:01:10 > 0:01:12to make a profit at auction.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Stay tuned, let's have a look at what is coming up.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21The Reds rule with their hearts rather than their heads.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Your gut feel, go with it.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24My gut feel is, go with it.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29The Blues are very self-assured.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31She has every confidence in you.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Has she?
0:01:32 > 0:01:33I said you'd win.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37And over at the auction, there are celebrations.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41And commiserations.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Sold!
0:01:42 > 0:01:45But that's all for later.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Now, can you feel the love in the room?
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Today's teams are made up of married couples. For the Reds,
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Amanda and Colin, and for the Blues, Mary and David.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Hello, everyone.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01- ALL:- Hello.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04It's lovely to have you along.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Now, Colin, tell me how you guys met.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08We met on a blind date.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10A blind date?
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Yes, an actress friend of ours phoned us both up and said
0:02:14 > 0:02:19she had a spare ticket to see a West End show, did we care to come along?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Did you fancy one another immediately?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Well, I can't speak for Amanda...
0:02:24 > 0:02:26So I won't!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I did, "I like this one."
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Yeah.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Now, Colin, you have had a very varied career -
0:02:32 > 0:02:34tell me a bit about it.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Well, I started out as an actor, I came from a theatrical family.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Were you in any famous films?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43A war film that is fairly well-known,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I was one of The Dirty Dozen.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Wow!
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Perhaps later, I will ask you for your autograph.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Thank you.- Please don't!
0:02:51 > 0:02:53THEY LAUGH
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Now, Amanda, you are not retired yet,
0:02:57 > 0:02:59so tell me about your job.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I'm an events manager.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04I have been doing it for 25 years, running my own business,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07predominantly for charities, and I love it.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11When you're not organising events, what do you do to relax?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- I love photography.- Ah!
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I'm a keen photographer,
0:03:15 > 0:03:19but the thing that I am passionate about are hand fans.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Wonderful.- I have over 1,000 antique hand fans.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23- That's amazing.- So it's a serious collection.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26But talking of fans, I have a little something for you, Anita.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Your very own Bargain Hunt fan.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31A Bargain Hunt fan!
0:03:31 > 0:03:33That's absolutely terrific!
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Ha-ha-ha!
0:03:34 > 0:03:37So, what are your tactics
0:03:37 > 0:03:39out in the shops today?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42We feel that we ought to either win big or lose big.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Right. You're going to give it a blast?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Absolutely. We're going for it.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53That's terrific. Now, over to the Blues, Mary and Dave.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Mary, tell me how you and your darling met.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I worked in a shop,
0:04:00 > 0:04:04and Dave started work there on a Monday, as a delivery driver.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08As he walked in the door, eyes met across the room...
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Love at first sight?
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Yeah, it was.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14And you been together...?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I like to say that we've been going out together for 54 years,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19but we've actually been married for 51.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I love it, I love it, I love it.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Now, Dave, you're pretty handy...
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Tell me about that.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Most of the time, I've done restoration on vintage vehicles,
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- mainly lorries.- Ah!- But now
0:04:31 > 0:04:34I'm a bit old for getting underneath them,
0:04:34 > 0:04:39so it's more into my workshop for a bit of woodwork, little lathe,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41making rabbit hutches for the neighbours,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43and all sorts of silly things like that.
0:04:43 > 0:04:50Now, what about this big adventure that you went on?
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Tell me about it, Mary.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52We decided we'd had enough.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56We been working all our life et cetera,
0:04:56 > 0:04:58So we sold the family home, as it were,
0:04:58 > 0:05:02bought a smaller house that we would be happy to live in,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05and bought a motorhome, and so we went through France,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09ended up in southern Spain, we wanted to live the Spanish life,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12and my word, we did, we lived there for seven years.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Young people take a sort of gap year...
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Absolutely!
0:05:16 > 0:05:19We said we have taken ours a bit late.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Now, you are going to have a great adventure out in the shops today.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27What sort of team are you going to make and what are your tactics?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Mine are, do as I'm told.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Hee-hee-hee-hee!
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I think that makes for happy marriage.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Well, if you're going on a great adventure out in the shops today,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40we'd better give you some money.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Oh, yes, please!
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- £300 for you.- Oh, thank you!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46And £300 for you guys.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Your experts await, so off you go.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Marital bliss, wonderful!
0:05:53 > 0:05:57And our teams will need a little helping hand along the way.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01A man with impeccable taste for the Reds. It's Philip Serrell.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06Blowing the budget for the Blues, it's Richard Madley.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- What are you going to buy today?- I was thinking something silver,
0:06:09 > 0:06:10pretty girly.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I like chunky glass.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14How about some toys, original packaging?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Well... Something mechanical, or something handcrafted.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Chop chop, teams. 60 minutes, your time starts now.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Let's see what we can find.- Let's go and have a look, shall we?
0:06:28 > 0:06:34Come with me. And they're off, today's teams seem pretty focused.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36And straightaway...
0:06:36 > 0:06:37£35.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40I think that's got profit written all over it.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Yeah, I like profit, sounds good.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47This jardiniere is continental, I think it's described as being French.
0:06:47 > 0:06:53It's based on an 18th-century rococo design, do a design of the mid-18th century,
0:06:53 > 0:06:571750, 1780, and it's got this romantic panel
0:06:57 > 0:07:01on the front of two lovers.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04That sounds perfect for this couple!
0:07:04 > 0:07:09The rococo style was used primarily in furniture, silver and ceramics.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13It takes its name from the French word "rocaille",
0:07:13 > 0:07:16meaning a rock or broken shell.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18It's also got some chips.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Actually, yeah...
0:07:21 > 0:07:23It's pottery, that's faience,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26it's absolutely allowed to have a few chips.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27I quite like the look of it, actually.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30It's growing on you, though.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31- It is growing on me.- It is.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33It's not glass, but it's similar.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- It's chunky.- Chunky?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37What's he going to take, 30, 25?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39No, 25.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Time for Richard to find James, the shop owner.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- You stay there, I'll be back in a bit.- OK.- Good, good.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50Up the road it looks like the Reds are making the same speedy progress.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55I mean, these might be a possibility, three spirit labels.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56If they're hallmarked silver.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- They seem to be, don't they?- Do you want to have a look at them?
0:07:58 > 0:07:59- Yes.- Would you like to be whisky?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Why not?- Would you like to be brandy?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- I'd love to be brandy.- And I'll be port, any port in a storm.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I can see the hallmark straightaway.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Well, you can, so we know they are hallmarked, we know they are silver,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11but there are very much 20th-century, they're quite late.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Is it BNK? RNK?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17RNK is the maker.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19RNK does indeed indicate the maker,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22London silversmiths Richards and Knight.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26My eyes are that bad I thought that said London 1887, it's actually London 1987, isn't it?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29So they are 1980s, aren't they? Quite modern.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31What have we got on them?
0:08:31 > 0:08:3238 each.
0:08:32 > 0:08:3338 each.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38That would be £114 for the three, more than a third of their budget.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42See, I think for me, it's £30 for three, not each.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Yeah, I think it's...
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Unless you can do something like £30 for the three,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I think it's going to have to probably go back in the cabinet.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Time to bring in Dave, the shop owner.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55I'm willing to start at 40.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59That's a start.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01As long as it's not a finish, that's good.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Can we just sort of maybe squeeze you a little bit on that?
0:09:06 > 0:09:0730?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- How about that?- Oops, too late.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- That hand was in there straight away, wasn't it?- I'm sorry.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17No, it's really good to know that we have an input here.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18I just know when I'm outnumbered.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Fair point, Amanda.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21We are into this for about ten minutes,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23and you've already bought your first item, that's wonderful.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Lovely.- Let's go and see if we can find something.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32So, three labels for £30, that's one buy off their shopping list.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Meanwhile, Richard's returned with the shop owner, James,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38to discuss that £35 for the jardiniere.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43Now, James, Dave and Mary are quite taken by the price ticket...
0:09:43 > 0:09:48- More the price ticket...- It's a lovely jardiniere, isn't it? It's fabulous.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50A highlight, it's still being removed...
0:09:50 > 0:09:56Well, the thing is, I've just bought that for my friend for tonight, I put it in there.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59That and two other plants cost me £26.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Well, that's all right, then. We'll give you 25 for that and then everybody's happy.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08I think condition is all right. It's a grubby inside.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13And it's got the odd chip but I think it's just a great thing.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Is there a profit in it for you?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- MARY:- Certainly not at that money.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- JAMES:- So what would you like to pay?- MARY:- 25.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- JAMES:- 25. Is that a firm bid?
0:10:25 > 0:10:26- MARY:- Yes, it's a firm bid.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- 20 would be better...- 25.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Nice try, Dave.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I want you to do well, so I will accept your money,
0:10:32 > 0:10:33as long as I keep my plant.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- MARY:- Yes, you can keep the plant.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37- JAMES:- Is that all right, sir?
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- The plant is yours, James. Thank you very much, £25.- Thanks a lot.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I think that's got profit written all over it.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49We'll hold you to that, Richard. Only time will tell at the auction.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- Come on, let's keep going, then. - Don't stop now.- No, we're on a roll.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Meanwhile, the Reds have crossed the road and popped into Stuart's shop.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- Do you know what those are?- No. - They're not curling stones, are they?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Absolutely spot on.- Are they really?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Yeah.- Are they collected, though?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stu will tell you, though, curling is a sport that goes back through
0:11:07 > 0:11:13the centuries, and early curling stones were really roughly hewn lumps of stone, weren't they?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Curling is one of the world's oldest team sports.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20It originated in Scotland in the 16th century.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24While the earliest-known curling stones came from Stirling and Perth,
0:11:24 > 0:11:27and date from 1511, these are a little newer.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I would think these are at best 19th century.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Might be a little bit first part of this century, might they?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Those are probably late 19th, yeah.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39And how much are those three?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43£40 each. But I do have complete ones in the shop.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- But I'll bet they're not £40 each. - No, they're not.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49How much is the set in the box?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Set in the box, £450 for the pair.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53- Right.- AMANDA:- Next!
0:11:53 > 0:11:55You've got to like 'em first.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- AMANDA:- Ah...
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Changing the subject, is that a stirrup pump?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04It's a no, then. At least you know what you like, Amanda.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I'm learning, I am learning.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09That's 20 minutes of your time gone, teams.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Now the Blues have their hands on a tea caddy and a rosewood glove box.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Let's have a look... Let's look at the tea caddy first,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19so this is a two-division tea caddy, OK?
0:12:19 > 0:12:25So, grey tea, black tea. No recess for the mixing bowl, some of these tea caddies...
0:12:25 > 0:12:30This was made as a two-division tea caddy, it's of a sarcophagus outline,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32that means it looks like a Roman coffin.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Rosewood, original bun feet.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39A price tag of 95.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Hang on to that one, Dave.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Then let's have a look at this one here.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46These are often referred to as glove boxes.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51But it's got a silk-lined interior, hasn't it? So...
0:12:51 > 0:12:54It's also got pin marks.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- So perhaps it's been used for... - Jewellery?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59..for jewellery, for hatpins.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Looks to be in nice condition, they are both in good condition.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08I was thinking this could be useful as a desk top.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- This you can't use for anything, really, can you?- You're right.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Well, it's very nice, and I like the look of it,
0:13:13 > 0:13:18but the point is, if you got it in your house, you put it there, you can't...
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Very good, Dave, you are thinking of your market.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- We'll put that one back up there. - OK.- I think that's out of it.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25I quite like that.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Can I have a look at it, please?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28And it's got the key with it as well, which is nice.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29I'm very keen on the keys.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32What is the mechanical bits? You see, I like the mechanical bits.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37- That works, yeah, exactly.- 78. - Too expensive.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41I think it's now time for Dave to show his true colours in negotiating
0:13:41 > 0:13:46skills, and should we send him off to ask James how well he could do?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Dave, off you go. Do go off.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Time to do a deal, then, Dave. What are his haggling skills like, Mary?
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- He's usually very good.- Is he?- Yeah.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Dave's back - any joy?
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- No?- Well, he wouldn't accept 50.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05OK.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06But he accepted 40.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07Oh!
0:14:07 > 0:14:08SHE LAUGHS
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- Well done!- Dave!- Yeah, good one. - The man!
0:14:12 > 0:14:14She had every confidence in you.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15- Had she?- I said you'd win.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18So the box is secured for nearly half-price.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19I think there's a profit in that,
0:14:19 > 0:14:24I think there's a profit in the French pottery jardiniere.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26So find one more item,
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- of a similar ilk, or with profits written into it...- And we're there.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32And we're there, aren't we?
0:14:32 > 0:14:37So, positive feelings all round. Could we be on for a golden gavel today?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- There's something over here we might like.- But what is it, Phil?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42It's copper.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- It's heavy.- Thank goodness you're here...
0:14:44 > 0:14:46What sort of age do you think, Phil?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49That's just what I'm having a look.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51I think it's probably 19th-century.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Let's give Stuart a call.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Stuart? Listen, is this some kind of meat kettle?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- That's stew pans.- Stew pans, yeah.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Probably a hotel, probably a big house.
0:15:00 > 0:15:0119th century, country house?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Yeah, definitely - probably made by Benham & Froud, someone like that,
0:15:04 > 0:15:05big country house.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Stuart, how much are these? - 150 quid.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12It's got the lid, it's got the handles, good size, good condition.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14If you put those to auction on a bad day...
0:15:15 > 0:15:17..you might get 80, £90 for it.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19That's always the risk.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Good day you might get 180, 190.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25I've got to tell you, you rarely see them this size.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28See, I kind of think that this is what you gravitated to,
0:15:28 > 0:15:29isn't it, the pair of you.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Your gut feel, go with it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33My gut feel is, go with it.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34OK.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37It's £150, Amanda!
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- If that's your feel - I went with the other, it's your turn.- OK.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- You want to go for it? - Yes. Let's do it.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43I'm with him.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Well, looks like we're one for all and all for one, here.- Exactly.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Thank you very much indeed.- Lovely.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- Thank you very much. - Happy?- Oh, yes.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- Brilliant.- On to the next. - On to the next.- Onwards and upwards.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59It's a brave move, Reds - £150 is a big chunk of your budget.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Now, it's time for me to head away from the shopping
0:16:02 > 0:16:06and learn more about a local annual festival unlike any other.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Here in Hungerford, they have a rather unusual annual event
0:16:17 > 0:16:22named Hocktide that culminates in something called Tutti Day.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25The festival dates back hundreds of years,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27and is unique to this town.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32Here to tell us more is Hungerford's Commons secretary, Robert James.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Robert, what is Tutti Day and how did it start?
0:16:36 > 0:16:41Well, Tutti Day is the day when the officers of the Hocktide Court meet,
0:16:41 > 0:16:45and it really results from the rights that John of Gaunt gave
0:16:45 > 0:16:48to the commoners of Hungerford.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Back in the 14th century,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53John of Gaunt gave the commoners hunting and fishing rights
0:16:53 > 0:16:54to the local common.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57The commoners lived in the high street,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00and, to this day, are still granted these privileges -
0:17:00 > 0:17:04but they come at a price, and every year, they are summoned to pay.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08All ye commoners of Hungerford
0:17:08 > 0:17:13are requested to attend your Court.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15If they didn't pay,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18they'd be fined by the visiting Tutti Men or debt collectors -
0:17:18 > 0:17:20and if they couldn't pay the fine,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22a kiss from the lady of the house
0:17:22 > 0:17:26and a little tipple along the route would be accepted.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29We have a drink - one or the other, coffee, whisky.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Morning, madam.- Morning!
0:17:32 > 0:17:34So, if the ladies had no money, of course,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37they actually had to forfeit something,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39and a kiss was the best way to deal with it.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Nowadays, women also act as Tutti Men -
0:17:42 > 0:17:43and, with the roles reversed,
0:17:43 > 0:17:47it is the man of the household who has to pay the debt.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Here, the women are prepared to go to great lengths to get that kiss.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56The traditional Tutti Men uniform consists of a top hat and tails,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59along with a staff topped with flowers.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04And the flowers are used because, in days gone by,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07there was - generally, the households had an awful stench.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09And this would go on all day?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Well, then, we adjourn to the Three Swans Hotel,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15where they put on anchovies on toast,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18and this is the time when we slake our thirst.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22The Hocktide festival is an annual Easter event
0:18:22 > 0:18:26that still draws the crowds hundreds of years since it first began.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- Thank you.- Bye-bye.- Bye-bye.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33So, we have some objects here which are historically connected
0:18:33 > 0:18:38with Tutti Day - and there is a wonderful coffer over there.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Could you tell me a wee bit about that?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43The coffer held all the important documents,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46such as agreements with tenants -
0:18:46 > 0:18:51but, more important, the charters of Henry VI and Edward IV,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53who confirmed the commoners' rights.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58These hunting horns are amazing - and this one looks particularly old.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Well, this is repeated to be the John of Gaunt horn,
0:19:02 > 0:19:06probably it's 1362, 1365,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09and when he gave commoners rights to fish,
0:19:09 > 0:19:13he gave the hunting horn as a way to remind the neighbours
0:19:13 > 0:19:15of the boundaries of the fishery.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Amazing.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18Robert, thank you so much
0:19:18 > 0:19:20for telling us all about this festival.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24I'm sure that it will go on for many, many years to come.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26But right now, it's time to check out
0:19:26 > 0:19:30how the teams are getting on with their shopping.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39With 25 minutes remaining,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42both teams are taking it all in their stride.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45It seems the Blues are eyeing up that piece of chunky glass
0:19:45 > 0:19:47that was on their shopping list.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I think they are all fully priced,
0:19:49 > 0:19:51but I think there is a deal to be done -
0:19:51 > 0:19:55but the glass market is not strong at the moment,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57and if we're going to auction with a piece of glass,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- it's got to come... - It's got to be good.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01It's got to be good, it's got to be at the right price.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Correct.- OK. - Edwardian cut glass tazza,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08so that would be for...predominantly for - normally for fruit,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11or maybe for pastries or bonbons, cakes.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14What sort of price would you think that would fetch at auction?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Because I think that is something you could use.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Today.- Roughly, I think that's worth about £30 at auction.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- At auction.- Mm. So we would have to be buying it at half-price...
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Yes.- To cover our...- Far less.- Yeah.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Can we just bear these in mind
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- and go and see if we can find something else?- Absolutely.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30We know where they are.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33It seems Mary has other ideas, Richard.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Lead on, Mary.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Lead on, Mary.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Meanwhile the Reds have retreated inside
0:20:40 > 0:20:44and are looking to spend their remaining £120.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- That's an interesting thing, isn't it?- What, that?- Yeah.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50That is a propeller boss.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- It's not, is it?- It's for an old wooden laminated propeller.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Oh!- Ah, now, I'm keen on that.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56What I love about that is the way it's all laminated...
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Mm-hm.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01..and...and the prop would have come out here, wouldn't it?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- It would.- Oh, so...- That's the hollow in there, isn't it?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- Yeah, that's right.- And the propellers would come out...
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Yes.- I've got a pilot's licence, so that obviously interests me.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11You'd have a hell of a job flying that.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Well... If you throw it hard enough, you might!
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Now, what else?- Well...
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Let's see.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19That's a bit of...
0:21:19 > 0:21:22It's pegged there, and her mouth...
0:21:22 > 0:21:24I mean, they're for hazelnuts, really, aren't they?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Kind of primitive folk art.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Not great age.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Might be Scandinavian.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- What do you make of it so far? - Rubbish!- Rubbish.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35I think that's more interesting than that.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Sorry, Colin. I know, but there are collectors for...
0:21:38 > 0:21:40It's nice to see that you're having your say.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42This is a bit awkward.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Time to get the price from Heather.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- 22.- Is that the very best? - I can bring the dealer.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- If you could, that would be lovely. - Yes.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54I think that you could be talking, for those, at auction...
0:21:55 > 0:21:57..probably around 15-30 quid.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- So, if you can get them for 20... - Mm.- 15 would be ideal.- OK.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Whilst you wait on a price for the nutcracker,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06let's see if the Blues are having any more luck
0:22:06 > 0:22:08tracking down their piece of glass.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Ah!- I really like it, but...
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Yeah.- Do you think it has been left standing
0:22:13 > 0:22:15when somebody has decorated the room,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18or do think that's supposed to be part of it?!
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I guess we've got to check the colour on the walls first.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Is that emulsion or it gloss?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27The only other thing was that it's by Will Shakespeare, look.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Seeing as we're going to Stratford-upon-Avon...
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I thought it would be good for the auction!
0:22:32 > 0:22:34You've written the script, already.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36This one was working in the 1990s.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39I never noticed that. I thought that was a code.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41It's a nice shape to it.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- It's got... - Shame about the splashes.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44It's a shame about the splashes.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46To be or not to be, then, Richard?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I don't think this Will Shakespeare is going to make as much
0:22:49 > 0:22:52as his great-great-great-great-great grandfather, the writer.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- OK, I'll go and put it back, then. - OK.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56It's not to be, then, Mary.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Ten minutes left on the clock, teams.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Right, Reds, there was a £25 price tag on that nutcracker -
0:23:03 > 0:23:05so, what's the news?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- Well, Heather, is this good news or bad news?- £20.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- Yes.- Yes.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- Yes?- That makes it unanimous.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Shake the Lady's hand.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- Heather, thank you very much indeed.- Thank you.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Well done, Reds, that's the way to do it!
0:23:19 > 0:23:21All three items in the bag.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Five minutes left and it seems the Blues are having a second thoughts
0:23:25 > 0:23:27on the glass comport they spotted earlier.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I like it, it's smart. I personally like it.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- If I can give him 20 quid, I'll have it.- It's actually bigger...
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Yeah, it's bigger than you think. - ..than you think.- Yeah.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36Yeah, I like that.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Let's just ask Richard what he thinks.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Right, Mary, decision time.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42What about if I got it for £20?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45If you got this glass tazza for £20,
0:23:45 > 0:23:49you'd be a better negotiator than Dave - and he is good.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- OK!- So, I think, you go off and find James...- OK.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54..and we'll wait here for you to come back
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- to tell us how successful you've been.- Right.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Happy? Off you go. - OK. I'll go and find him.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Right...- Good luck! - Now the pressure's on.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05I know. She can't be better than I am.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Good luck, Mary.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09That didn't take too long, did it?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11No, it didn't take too long at all.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- No, it didn't take too long at all - and, Mary...- Give us a clue.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16£19.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17£19!
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Fantastic.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Great. That's two-thirds off, and the end of your shopping.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Well done, Mary.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- Thank you.- Now that is a good deal.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30That panned out well.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37First up were the three spirit labels - price paid £30...
0:24:39 > 0:24:44..next, the two-handled copper cooking pot cost them £150...
0:24:45 > 0:24:50..and finally, the Black Forest treen nutcracker set them back £20.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Amanda, Colin, did you have a good time?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Terrific.- A great time.- Amanda, what was your favourite item?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00I think it's the big copper pot.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Will that make the most profit?
0:25:03 > 0:25:04I'd love to say yes,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07but I think it is going to be the silver spirit labels.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Yeah. Colin, what was your favourite item?
0:25:10 > 0:25:11I agree on the copper pot.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I think it's super - but, again, I'm toeing the line here,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- I have to go with the spirit labels. - Yes!
0:25:17 > 0:25:18THEY LAUGH
0:25:18 > 0:25:20You spent £200.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Can I have 100, please?
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Indeed you may. There you go.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25100, which goes straight over to Phil.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Thank you.- Do you know what you're going to buy, Phil?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29There's going to be a clue here, are you ready?
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- Mm-hm.- I am going to go and SHELL OUT some cash.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- BOTH:- Ooh!
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Well, while Phil goes off to buy his bonus buy,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:25:41 > 0:25:47The first buy was the jardiniere planter - price paid £25.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Next, the glove box set them back £40...
0:25:52 > 0:25:55..and finally the glass comport cost them £19.
0:25:56 > 0:26:03Well, Mary, Dave, you were very much together from beginning to end.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Mary, what was your favourite item?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- The glass dish...- Uh-huh.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- ..on a stem.- Is that the one that's going to make the most profit?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Perhaps!- Perhaps.- Yes.- Perhaps.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Let's get Dave to help us out here.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Dave, what was your favourite item?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19The wooden box.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Yeah. You're a craftsman, and appreciate that kind of thing.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Very nice.- Now, tell me,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26do you think that's going to make the biggest profit?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Yes. I do. Yeah, I think it's really nice.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33You only spent a wee teensy-weensy £84.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38Could I have £216, please?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- You certainly can. - Quite a lot of dosh.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Do you know what you're going to buy?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45I don't know what I'm going to buy yet,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47but I do know that whatever it is,
0:26:47 > 0:26:53I have got to negotiate as hard as these guys. They are tough.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Well, while Richard goes off to buy his bonus buy,
0:26:55 > 0:26:57we're off to the auction.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Today we are at Bigwood Auctioneers near Stratford-upon-Avon,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13and I've been joined by Mark Ashley.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Mark, it is lovely to be here.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Lovely to have you with us, Anita.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Excellent. Now, let's look at the Reds first.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22They wanted to buy silver stuff,
0:27:22 > 0:27:28and their first lot was this little trio of silver labels.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- What do you think?- Silver labels, always nice, always saleable.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36They look Georgian, although they're quite modern - late 20th century.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37What is your estimate?
0:27:37 > 0:27:3930-50, we thought, on those.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Well, they paid 30, so that's not too bad.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Let's move on to their second item, this monster of a pot.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51It's big enough to feed a family for a fortnight.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- What do you think?- Great thing -
0:27:53 > 0:27:57and I believe the top and the bottom match perfectly.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58They've both got an M on.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Could be the first initial of the house -
0:28:01 > 0:28:04because something like this is in a grand house.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- Of course.- You know, it's not in the cottage down the road.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09We're thinking sort of 60-80 on that.
0:28:09 > 0:28:1060-80.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15Well, they paid...£150 for it.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16A bit steep, I think.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18A wee bit steep.
0:28:18 > 0:28:25So, on to their third item - it's this Black Forest carved nutcracker.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- What do you think?- People collect nice little bits of treen like this,
0:28:29 > 0:28:31so I think there's a market for that.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32I was thinking about £20-£30.
0:28:32 > 0:28:3520-30. Well, they paid £20 for it.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- That's not bad.- So, there's a hint of a profit there.- Yeah.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42But all in all, they may need their bonus buy -
0:28:42 > 0:28:44so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Philip, what have you got? - Well, I seem to remember saying
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- I was going to shell out some cash, didn't I?- You did.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52Well...
0:28:53 > 0:28:55- That.- Blimey!
0:28:55 > 0:28:56That...
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- The clue was "shell out", you see... - Yes.- ..because this...
0:29:00 > 0:29:02..is a carrier for ammo.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Now, what happened to these, this is made out of canvas.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06A lot of them were made out of leather.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- The leather ones are worth more... - Mm.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09..but they become collectable.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12You get your coat of arms painted on them,
0:29:12 > 0:29:13and they make great stick stands.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- Yes.- Of course!
0:29:15 > 0:29:19OK, now... This cost me 40 quid.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20- I'm impressed.- I like it.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22I'm just wondering, is it First World War or Second?
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Well, I wouldn't claim to be an expert,
0:29:24 > 0:29:26- but I think it's probably First World War.- Mm.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28You think this will make a profit?
0:29:28 > 0:29:30I think it is going to make between 50 and £80,
0:29:30 > 0:29:31that would be my shot for it.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- That's fair enough, as far as I'm concerned.- Yeah.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35But you don't need to make up your mind just now -
0:29:35 > 0:29:38wait until your first three items have been sold.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40But, in the meantime,
0:29:40 > 0:29:43let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Phil's carrier.
0:29:45 > 0:29:51Now, Phil's bonus buy was this - what we'd call a cordite carrier.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55It was developed in the 1880s, instead of gunpowder.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58This would have been kept in an arsenal or an armoury.
0:29:58 > 0:29:59It would have had a lid, as well,
0:29:59 > 0:30:03and it would have been brought out in order to fuel the canon.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Yeah. Is it going to make an explosive profit?!
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Well, we're thinking about 50 to 70.
0:30:09 > 0:30:1050 to 70.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Well, Phil only paid £40 for it.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14That's it for our Reds.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Now over to our Blues.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19Now, their first item was this jardiniere.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Is this type of thing still popular?
0:30:23 > 0:30:24It's a bit over the top.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28- I would say, in today's market, it's a bit fancy...- Mm-hm.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31..but it's a big piece, it's a good decorator's lot.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- 50 to 70 is about what we'd think. - 50 to 70.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Well, they've only paid £25.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37I think that was quite a good buy.
0:30:37 > 0:30:43- Very good.- Now, their second item is this Victorian rosewood glove box.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44I think it's a lovely thing.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- What about you? - I totally agree with you.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49I think it's a beautiful rosewood box.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Mother-of-pearl inlaid - and why we know it's a glove box,
0:30:52 > 0:30:56not just its size, but if you open this up and look inside,
0:30:56 > 0:30:59you can see this is where the glove stretchers would have been kept.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02So it's a really super thing - about 50 to 70.
0:31:02 > 0:31:0550 to 70 - well, they paid £40 for it.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10It's in great condition, and the fact it's got a key, as well.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- Good thing.- Lovely thing.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Their third item, little 19th-century glass tazza.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19I love this, personally, I think it's a super buy.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23High-quality, love the Greek key border.
0:31:23 > 0:31:2430 to 40.
0:31:24 > 0:31:2830 to 40. Well, they paid £19.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- Oh!- So, hope for a profit there.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32A good buy, I think.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35A good buy. Well, they may not need their bonus buy -
0:31:35 > 0:31:37but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43You left Richard 260 - what did you buy?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- It's impressive!- Wow!
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- I got an impression! - It's impressive.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52I bought you a tureen.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- It's nice.- Oh, OK.- A soup tureen.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57It's rococo in design.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02It's Continental. It could be from France, it could be from Spain.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- Mm!- It's impressive, it's got these cast handles.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07It's got the gadroon decoration.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09- What exactly is it made of? - It's made of bronze...
0:32:09 > 0:32:14- Oh!- Mm!- ..and let me tell you now, that is a heavy lid.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16- OK.- How much?- How much?
0:32:16 > 0:32:21It was priced at over £100, but I bought it for you...
0:32:21 > 0:32:23..for £30.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- That was good.- Sounds good. - That was good.
0:32:26 > 0:32:27Well, I'm glad you think so,
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- because I had a very good feeling about it myself.- Uh-huh.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32But do you like it?
0:32:32 > 0:32:33- Well...- Does it appeal to you?
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- It grows on you.- I like the bottom.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37- You like the bottom?- Yeah.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38Right, OK.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39How much do you think it will make?
0:32:39 > 0:32:42I could see this making...
0:32:42 > 0:32:45..double, treble, quadruple what we've paid for it.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- Sounds good to me!- That sounds good!
0:32:48 > 0:32:51You don't need to make up your minds just now.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Wait till your first three items have been sold.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56In the meantime, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:32:56 > 0:32:58of Richard's weighty buy.
0:33:00 > 0:33:06Richard's bonus buy was this splendid and very impressive
0:33:06 > 0:33:07bronze tureen.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Do you like it, Mark?
0:33:09 > 0:33:12I think it's a really brilliant thing!
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Fantastic shape - the sort of thing you'd expect to be in silver.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18I don't think I've ever seen one bronze.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22The lion masks on the top - great thing.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Yeah. That would have been in a big house, wouldn't it?
0:33:25 > 0:33:27A grand house.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Well, what's your estimate?
0:33:29 > 0:33:30Well, I think 200 to 300.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- 200 to 300.- Mm.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- You've got great faith in this item. - I rate it.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Richard paid £30.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- I can't believe that!- Yeah.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Was there an "O" missing off the price tag?!
0:33:44 > 0:33:48If Mary and Dave decide to go with it, it could be their lucky day.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49Are you our auctioneer today?
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- I am.- Ah, I'm looking forward to it.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58130, now - will you bid me 130? 140 - at 50 all done. Sir!
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Amanda, Colin, how are you feeling?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Excited, yes.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- A wee bit nervous?- Slightly.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10First item, those lovely silver labels, you paid £30 for them -
0:34:10 > 0:34:12good luck because they're coming up now.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Lot number 301.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Three silver spirit labels.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18They're from the late 20th century,
0:34:18 > 0:34:22but their design is perfect of the Georgian period.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25The Internet's in at 30, I've got 5.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Bid me 40 now.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28At 40, will you bid?
0:34:28 > 0:34:2940 on the net.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31All done, all finished, are you sure?
0:34:31 > 0:34:3340.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34£40.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39£40 - guys, well done, into profit in the first lot.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41That's plus 10.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44No, no, do you know what? I'm anxious about this pot.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47It deserves to make money, but whether it will or not...
0:34:47 > 0:34:48I know, I know.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52You paid £150, you pushed the boats out on that.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54It's coming up now.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57There we are, what about it? Surely it's £50, isn't it?
0:34:57 > 0:35:00A lovely big pot like that, going to start me off?
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Thank you, sir, back of the room at £50.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Who's going to bid me 60?
0:35:04 > 0:35:0560 on the net.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09Sir, do come back, 70 - 80 on the net?
0:35:09 > 0:35:12I have 70 on the room with you, sir.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Back of the room at 80, now, just come in.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- Have 90, sir. Will it go 100 on the net?- 90, we're still in.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21I have 90 in the room, will you even it up?
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Otherwise I'll take the gentleman's bid.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26- Oh, go on. - Back right of the room at 90...
0:35:26 > 0:35:2890, sir.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30£90. Oh, hard luck, there.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32I think it did better than we thought it would!
0:35:32 > 0:35:34It could have been worse, it could have been worse.
0:35:34 > 0:35:40That leaves you with a loss on that of minus 60.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44Overall score after two items, to minus 50.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48- OK.- Third item is the Black Forest nutcracker.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50You paid £20 for it.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Good luck - let's hope we can claw some profit back.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55- Absolutely.- Here we go.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Start at 20.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00I've got 20, who's got 5?
0:36:00 > 0:36:01Who's got 25?
0:36:01 > 0:36:05It is £20 on the net, at 20, who is going to bid me 5?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07At £20, you don't want it, then?
0:36:07 > 0:36:12It's on the net at 20, and I'll sell it...
0:36:12 > 0:36:13£20.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15£20 on that.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Ah. No loss, but no profit.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22That takes your overall score to minus 50.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26You've got to make up your mind now, are you going to take the bonus buy?
0:36:26 > 0:36:281, 2, 3...
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Yes!
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- That was a very definite... - We absolutely love it.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34..vote of confidence for Philip.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Oh, dear!
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Philip paid £40.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42I can tell you, now that you've decided to take the bonus buy,
0:36:42 > 0:36:45that the auctioneer has valued it at 50 to 70.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- Oh!- So, we have hope there. - Fingers crossed.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51So, good luck, guys, coming up now.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54311, the cordite carrier.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57What about it? Surely that's £50, isn't it?
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Start me off, then - £30.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00Let's get it away.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Got to sell it now.
0:37:02 > 0:37:0320, then? Madam, thank you.
0:37:03 > 0:37:0520 to start me.
0:37:05 > 0:37:0730 on the net, 5.
0:37:07 > 0:37:0840 net.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10I have 40 now.
0:37:10 > 0:37:125, madam, have another.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14I'm on the net at 40.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19Who's got 5? On the net, then, selling on the net at £40...
0:37:19 > 0:37:2140!
0:37:21 > 0:37:23£40.
0:37:23 > 0:37:29Phil paid 40, so your score remains the same at minus 50.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31But don't be too sad.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33That could be a winning score.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35- It could indeed.- Yeah.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Mary, Dave, here we are in the auction!
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Have you been to auction before?
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- Yes...- Yes - and I bought Mary a concrete mixer.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- At auction?- Yeah.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53I thought you were going to say a diamond ring, there!
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Your first item was that lovely planter.- Yes.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Now, it's a big, wonderful thing.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03You paid £25 for it - good luck on it, it's coming up...
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- Now.- Ooh, good!
0:38:05 > 0:38:10Faience jardiniere of rococo design - surely it's £50?
0:38:10 > 0:38:11Rather a pretty piece.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Surely? Who's got 50 for that?
