Isn't this towering angel sculpture amazing?

0:00:030:00:06

It's been created here in Shropshire using 100,000 confiscated knife blades.

0:00:070:00:14

More on this fascinating Knife Angel later.

0:00:140:00:16

But first we're off to an antiques fair near Oswestry.

0:00:160:00:20

Will our teams have angels on their side?

0:00:200:00:23

I wonder. Let's go bargain hunting!

0:00:230:00:27

The showground here at Oswestry's Park Hall has played host to

0:00:520:00:56

North Wales's largest antiques and collectables fair for years.

0:00:560:01:01

Armed with £300, our two teams have one hour

0:01:010:01:04

to find three items that hopefully will return them a profit

0:01:040:01:08

when they sell on at auction.

0:01:080:01:10

Let's take a look at what's coming up.

0:01:120:01:14

The Reds think they have a blank cheque book...

0:01:160:01:17

I would just pay what they wanted because I like it.

0:01:170:01:20

Except I know that's not the business that we're in.

0:01:200:01:22

..and the Blues fail to agree.

0:01:220:01:24

-Not selling this to me at all.

-£100.

0:01:240:01:26

You're not selling it to me one bit.

0:01:260:01:29

But at auction will it be golden gavels for the Reds?

0:01:290:01:33

-Yes!

-Or will it be the Blues who come out on top?

0:01:330:01:36

Hey!

0:01:360:01:38

Well, all that is coming up later, so let's meet today's teams

0:01:400:01:44

and today we've got two teams of fathers and daughters.

0:01:440:01:48

For the Reds we've got David and Amy and for the Blues

0:01:480:01:51

we've got Andy and Kelsey. Welcome and hello.

0:01:510:01:54

-Hello!

-A resounding hello.

0:01:540:01:57

Listen, let me start with you, David.

0:01:570:01:59

Now, I understand that you have got quite a demanding job.

0:01:590:02:02

Well, my title is practice manager so I look after all

0:02:020:02:05

the business side of a GP practice which is just on the border

0:02:050:02:10

of North Wales and Chester and we've got...10,300 patients.

0:02:100:02:14

-Wow.

-Covering an area of about 140 square miles.

0:02:140:02:17

and we're on three sites. So it's fairly challenging

0:02:170:02:20

but I've been doing it for 17 years now and I really love it.

0:02:200:02:24

What I want to know a little bit more about is your hidden talent.

0:02:240:02:27

When I met my wife,

0:02:270:02:28

she belonged to an amateur dramatics group so I decided that

0:02:280:02:32

I would take up tap dancing lessons.

0:02:320:02:34

And I actually got a bronze tap dancing medal.

0:02:340:02:38

-Is that a fact?

-Yes.

-Well,

0:02:380:02:40

Amy, I need to ask you - are you following in your father's footsteps,

0:02:400:02:43

or maybe I should say tap steps?

0:02:430:02:46

Well, I do do amateur dramatics now,

0:02:460:02:49

I got the bug at a young age and now I am a member of a couple of

0:02:490:02:53

local societies and we do a few shows a year.

0:02:530:02:56

There's no better feeling than to be on your stage with your best friends

0:02:560:03:01

in front of an audience who are enjoying themselves.

0:03:010:03:03

You're also in what might be described as a caring profession.

0:03:030:03:07

I'm a nurse by background.

0:03:070:03:09

But I sort of took the management route so I'm part of a team who do

0:03:090:03:13

sort of community children's services and I love it,

0:03:130:03:16

it's the best job in the world.

0:03:160:03:17

What about your tactics today?

0:03:170:03:19

I like anything that's sort of pretty, silver's good,

0:03:190:03:21

-you know, jewellery, that kind of thing.

-Silver is...

0:03:210:03:24

would be my thing.

0:03:240:03:25

When I left school I worked for a retail jewellers in the middle of

0:03:250:03:28

Chester, so Chester silver particularly.

0:03:280:03:31

So good luck, Reds. But turning my attention to the Blues,

0:03:310:03:35

Andy and Kelsey.

0:03:350:03:37

-Yes.

-Andy, you're a grocery manager for a large retail outlet,

0:03:370:03:41

but your passion is cooking.

0:03:410:03:43

It is. I love cooking.

0:03:430:03:44

I have done it all my life.

0:03:440:03:46

Through various careers in kitchens in restaurants, hotels,

0:03:460:03:51

and being a butler.

0:03:510:03:52

-You've been a butler?

-I have.

0:03:520:03:54

Loved the experience,

0:03:540:03:55

in a big house just outside Chester for a private family and I did all

0:03:550:03:59

the catering there, I also did the catering for my wedding.

0:03:590:04:02

Now, the wedding,

0:04:020:04:04

I find it incredible to believe that everything was organised

0:04:040:04:07

within the space of one week.

0:04:070:04:08

-Is that right?

-One week, that's all it took.

0:04:080:04:10

My wife used to work in the butchers and she was dressed in white,

0:04:100:04:14

obviously, in the uniform.

0:04:140:04:16

Went up to the counter and said you look lovely in white.

0:04:160:04:19

We're getting married a week today.

0:04:190:04:20

It was a big surprise for her and for the rest of the family as well

0:04:200:04:23

because we all had to muck in.

0:04:230:04:24

And Kelsey, I've got to bring you into this.

0:04:240:04:26

Were you old enough to have a say in all this,

0:04:260:04:29

and what part did you take?

0:04:290:04:31

I was nine years old, I was a bridesmaid for my mum,

0:04:310:04:35

I didn't like wearing a dress so there was a bit of

0:04:350:04:38

an argument there and she made me wear a nice little purple suit.

0:04:380:04:41

And the suit was just lovely.

0:04:410:04:43

-Wasn't it, yeah?

-No.

0:04:430:04:45

I bet you looked very sweet, so tell me about the day job.

0:04:450:04:49

I work for a telephone answering service

0:04:490:04:52

and I'm currently a team leader

0:04:520:04:54

there, managing a team of ten, so that's quite a good job.

0:04:540:04:57

When it comes to antiques, where's the knowledge?

0:04:570:05:00

Well, I do sell and buy off car-boot sales quite a lot.

0:05:000:05:03

-Oh, do you?

-Yes.

0:05:030:05:04

But I wouldn't say I'm an expert.

0:05:040:05:06

I do love jewellery so if there's anything out there that

0:05:060:05:09

catches my eye today I will probably buy it.

0:05:090:05:11

-OK.

-Yeah.

-So what about yourself?

0:05:110:05:13

I don't have a collection of anything really apart from

0:05:130:05:16

the full set of The Wombles teddies.

0:05:160:05:19

So I think that's going to stand me in good stead today.

0:05:190:05:21

Yes... Yes... that could give you a good grounding, definitely.

0:05:210:05:25

-Definitely yes.

-But before you can do any spending,

0:05:250:05:27

you're going to need some money.

0:05:270:05:29

And I have got £300 for the Blue team.

0:05:290:05:32

And I have got £300 for the Red team.

0:05:320:05:36

And this is where I say cheerio, and you go off

0:05:360:05:39

to meet your respective experts, so see you later.

0:05:390:05:42

-Thanks.

-Thanks.

0:05:420:05:44

Well, it's all about fathers and daughters today

0:05:440:05:46

and I think that we're in for a treat.

0:05:460:05:48

Helping the teams are two antiques connoisseurs.

0:05:490:05:52

For the Reds, with plenty of cheese on top, it's Charles Hanson.

0:05:540:05:58

And ready to get her skates on for the Blues, it's Kate Bliss.

0:05:580:06:02

Amy, what's our plan today?

0:06:030:06:04

-Ask Dad.

-Oh, right.

0:06:040:06:05

Dad, what's our plan today?

0:06:050:06:07

I want to set a record for Bargain Hunt for the biggest item ever bought.

0:06:070:06:10

Now there's a challenge.

0:06:100:06:11

I would like to look at some silver.

0:06:110:06:13

-So something sparkly, maybe diamonds.

-Oh, I like sparkly.

0:06:130:06:16

Diamonds is great, Dad, that's a great idea.

0:06:160:06:19

Jewellery, anything shiny that looks expensive

0:06:190:06:23

but try and get it for cheap.

0:06:230:06:25

Saddle up, teams, your time starts now.

0:06:250:06:27

Come on, follow me!

0:06:270:06:29

-This is going to be fun.

-Oh, yes.

0:06:290:06:31

I wonder who'll be in charge today?

0:06:330:06:34

The dads or the daughters?

0:06:340:06:36

Anything jumped out at you, Amy?

0:06:360:06:38

No, not... I can't really see shiny.

0:06:380:06:40

Some nice shiny objects over there.

0:06:400:06:42

Yes.

0:06:420:06:44

So, shiny and sparkly is what the daughters want, but Charlie however

0:06:440:06:48

has seen something quite striking.

0:06:480:06:50

You like style, don't you?

0:06:500:06:51

-Yeah.

-Look at that.

0:06:510:06:53

Hasn't that got style?

0:06:530:06:54

But there's one problem.

0:06:540:06:56

-Yeah. Cup missing.

-Exactly.

0:06:560:06:58

-There's only five cups.

-Oh, yeah.

0:06:580:06:59

If I pick that one cup up, we talk Art Deco,

0:06:590:07:03

and what defines an Art Deco teacup...

0:07:030:07:05

Look at that handle. It's so...

0:07:050:07:07

-Angular.

-..impractical.

-Really angular.

0:07:070:07:09

-I like it.

-And what's quite interesting, it's not Wedgwood,

0:07:090:07:11

as in that great famous Wedgwood make, it's marked here

0:07:110:07:14

Wedgwood & Co, so probably Enoch Wedgwood

0:07:140:07:17

which was an offshoot of that main Wedgwood factory

0:07:170:07:20

and this would date, yeah, 1932, 1935.

0:07:200:07:24

I like it.

0:07:240:07:25

It's priced at £42. There might be hefty room for negotiation,

0:07:270:07:32

if you think it's to your taste.

0:07:320:07:33

-Oh, I like it.

-I love it.

0:07:330:07:35

If we were to give you a space here,

0:07:350:07:37

-what would be your very best price on that?

-Prime space.

0:07:370:07:40

Because that is right in the middle,

0:07:400:07:42

-you could put something really good there...

-35.

0:07:420:07:43

How close could you get to 25?

0:07:430:07:46

30, and that's it, that's the...

0:07:460:07:48

Could you do it for 29? Because auctions go up in fivers.

0:07:480:07:51

Yes, OK. Me secretary said yes.

0:07:510:07:54

The boss.

0:07:540:07:55

It's a yes from her. Don't forget we are very early into our hour,

0:07:550:07:59

but at £29, it's striking.

0:07:590:08:03

-Shall we mental note it?

-Yeah, let's mental note it.

0:08:030:08:05

So, not one to forget.

0:08:060:08:08

Where next, then?

0:08:080:08:09

Already in gear, Red team.

0:08:090:08:12

Oh. Careful, Charlie.

0:08:150:08:16

The Blues in the meantime are still on the lookout for sparkly jewellery.

0:08:180:08:21

-Is it shiny in here?

-What have you spotted, Kelsey?

0:08:210:08:24

I like this. Yeah.

0:08:240:08:26

Oh, straight in on the jewellery.

0:08:260:08:28

Yes. That's what I'm looking for, nice and shiny.

0:08:280:08:31

-They're a nice long string, aren't they?

-Are they real?

0:08:310:08:34

Well, there are three different types of pearls.

0:08:340:08:38

There are simulated pearls, which are made to look like pearls,

0:08:380:08:41

but they're essentially costume jewellery,

0:08:410:08:44

and then there's your cultured pearl,

0:08:440:08:46

and this is where a little man-made bead is inserted into the oyster

0:08:460:08:51

and then the oyster does its stuff and secretes the outer layer

0:08:510:08:55

to make the cultured pearl and then, of course,

0:08:550:08:58

there's the rarest form of pearl, natural pearl,

0:08:580:09:01

that the oyster makes all by itself.

0:09:010:09:02

-Right.

-And they are highly prized.

0:09:020:09:05

I suspect we've got cultured pearls here.

0:09:050:09:07

These have got a lovely lustre.

0:09:070:09:09

You talk about lustre with pearls

0:09:090:09:11

-and you can see they've got a lovely orient to them.

-Like a tint.

0:09:110:09:14

Yeah.

0:09:140:09:16

Now, what I want to know is have we got a little gold clasp there.

0:09:160:09:19

That's what I was going to ask.

0:09:190:09:20

They looks as though it is.

0:09:200:09:22

Yes, so we've got 375 on there.

0:09:220:09:25

And do you know what that means?

0:09:250:09:27

-Nope.

-That means it's nine carat.

0:09:270:09:29

-Right.

-OK.

-Do you like those?

0:09:290:09:30

Yeah, definitely.

0:09:300:09:31

Would you wear those, Kelsey?

0:09:310:09:33

I would, yeah. They are really nice.

0:09:330:09:35

-Really pretty.

-68.

0:09:350:09:38

What is the best price on these?

0:09:380:09:40

-60, I'd say.

-60.

-Ooh...

0:09:410:09:46

-I mean, it's to make a profit...

-At auction I would probably price them

0:09:460:09:49

at around the sort of £30-50 mark.

0:09:490:09:51

-Right.

-Is that the very best, sir?

0:09:510:09:54

-60?

-I'll do another fiver, 55.

0:09:540:10:00

Would you accept 50?

0:10:000:10:01

Yeah, I'd do 50, that's fine.

0:10:020:10:04

-Yes, that's fine.

-OK, no problem.

0:10:040:10:06

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much.

0:10:060:10:08

-Thank you.

-Brilliant, thank you very much, sir, that's really kind.

0:10:080:10:10

Well done, Kelsey. Well done. She's a good negotiator, isn't she?

0:10:100:10:14

-Off we go, guys.

-I think we've got a keen haggler here.

0:10:140:10:17

Fantastic, Blues,

0:10:170:10:18

you've cultured your first purchase in under six minutes.

0:10:180:10:21

The pressure's on you now, Reds.

0:10:210:10:24

Look at that. Isn't that gorgeous?

0:10:240:10:26

I love it. Rosewood, mother of pearl, pewter-strung tea caddy.

0:10:260:10:29

Look at the black streaks in here.

0:10:290:10:31

The shape is sarcophagus. What I like is the condition's so good.

0:10:310:10:35

From these lovely little ring handles to the compressed button feet.

0:10:350:10:40

How old is that, early 1900s?

0:10:400:10:42

Yes. 1825.

0:10:420:10:44

And it's gorgeous.

0:10:440:10:46

On the inside you've got original bone disk handles which you pick up

0:10:460:10:51

to reveal obviously the underside and these are the divisions

0:10:510:10:55

for the tea, but what's wonderful is its almost

0:10:550:10:58

200 years old and to me that's so sleek, it's so tidy.

0:10:580:11:02

-Yeah.

-And it's so elegant and tea, don't forget, was very expensive,

0:11:020:11:05

so hence why the tea caddy is small.

0:11:050:11:07

-Yeah.

-It's in such good condition.

-It is.

-Do you like it?

0:11:070:11:10

-Can I handle it?

-Course you can.

-I quite like it.

0:11:100:11:12

I never thought I'd like something like that.

0:11:120:11:14

It's just the decoration I think and the inlays.

0:11:140:11:17

The work that's gone into this.

0:11:170:11:19

What do you think about it, Amy?

0:11:190:11:20

I think it's really pretty, it's really elegant, isn't it, actually.

0:11:200:11:24

They both agree, so time to talk money.

0:11:240:11:26

The price tag says £140.

0:11:260:11:29

How much, sir, is this?

0:11:290:11:31

-The best I can do that for would be 110, sir.

-I think it seems like quite a good price but I...

0:11:310:11:36

Dad will tell you I'm not great with budgeting my money,

0:11:360:11:38

so...I'm going to take advice.

0:11:380:11:41

If I saw this in the saleroom I would guide it 100-150.

0:11:410:11:45

And I'd love to try and buy it for the bottom estimate.

0:11:450:11:50

Your very best on this?

0:11:500:11:51

I would go to that 100 for you, just to give you a chance.

0:11:510:11:54

Yeah, let's do it.

0:11:540:11:55

Look at Dad.

0:11:550:11:57

We've only had, like, ten minutes.

0:11:570:11:58

Yeah, no, I know. See it, buy it, like it.

0:11:580:12:00

Yeah, yeah.

0:12:000:12:02

Shake his hand.

0:12:020:12:03

Decisive action, I like it.

0:12:030:12:05

The Reds first item is in the bag.

0:12:050:12:07

£100 for a lovely Regency period, elegant and very sophisticated tea caddy.

0:12:070:12:12

-I think it's a good buy.

-Yeah.

-Great.

-Me too.

0:12:120:12:14

One down. I like your style, come on.

0:12:140:12:16

Over with the Blues and Andy has gone all nostalgic.

0:12:160:12:20

-Kate, look!

-Oh! What have you found?

0:12:200:12:23

Oh...

0:12:230:12:24

-Your love.

-Yes.

0:12:240:12:27

THEY SING THE WOMBLES THEME

0:12:270:12:31

# The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we. #

0:12:310:12:34

-He knows all the words.

-I know!

0:12:340:12:36

So you put these in your little viewer there.

0:12:360:12:39

I think as a lot at the auction it might not make very much

0:12:390:12:42

but why don't you come back and get it later?

0:12:420:12:45

-I'm going to do that.

-OK.

0:12:450:12:46

-Definitely.

-Brilliant. Let's tear you away.

0:12:460:12:50

Andy sadly has to Womble away.

0:12:500:12:53

The Reds have moved on, too,

0:12:530:12:55

and a small hand-held mirror has caught Amy's eye.

0:12:550:12:57

-That's nice.

-Yeah. What about this little thing?

0:12:570:13:00

That's really cute.

0:13:000:13:02

There you go, have a handle.

0:13:020:13:03

Isn't that cute.

0:13:030:13:05

What do you think it's made of?

0:13:050:13:06

-What's it say?

-It's...

0:13:060:13:08

The Savoy shoe.

0:13:090:13:10

I love the almost what you call Palais Royale,

0:13:100:13:14

very high Parisian taste,

0:13:140:13:16

with the swags and the design.

0:13:160:13:20

And of course it's marked down here Buenos Aires

0:13:200:13:22

so it's got a great luxury feel.

0:13:220:13:24

If you turn it round as well, Amy, look at the bevelled glass.

0:13:240:13:28

Dad, can you see?

0:13:280:13:29

That's a sure sign of quality as well.

0:13:290:13:31

-Yeah.

-The matte ground, the repousse work...

0:13:310:13:35

It's a very small, yet sophisticated-made object.

0:13:350:13:38

David, tell me does it appeal to you at all?

0:13:380:13:40

Yeah, it appeals to me because it's unusual.

0:13:400:13:43

It's one of those sort of quirky things that you would see,

0:13:430:13:46

and it would appeal to somebody who collects small things.

0:13:460:13:48

-What's the price on it?

-£15.

0:13:480:13:50

What would you pay for it, Amy, if you saw it in a nice shop?

0:13:500:13:53

-Is it worth that to you?

-I would just pay what they wanted because

0:13:530:13:56

I like it but I know that's not the business that we're in.

0:13:560:13:59

-Is that what we call modern shopping, hey?

-I'm a modern girl.

0:13:590:14:02

Exactly. Here he is.

0:14:020:14:04

I'm here.

0:14:040:14:05

What's your best price on this?

0:14:050:14:07

£12.

0:14:070:14:08

£12?

0:14:080:14:10

-What are we thinking?

-The Reds aren't sure.

0:14:100:14:12

I can do it for ten, that's the best I can do on this.

0:14:120:14:15

I think for £10 I love it.

0:14:150:14:17

I'll be happy. You can have the rest of the money, Dad, I'll be happy.

0:14:170:14:20

-OK, all right.

-Thank you very much.

0:14:200:14:22

-Sold.

-Thank you.

0:14:220:14:24

Thank you very much. We are very grateful.

0:14:240:14:26

Well handled, Reds, your second purchase bought within 25 minutes.

0:14:260:14:31

I'm really pleased that Amy's found what she really likes and obviously

0:14:310:14:34

I found that gorgeous tea caddy to begin with. I'm really hoping now

0:14:340:14:38

Father, wise old dad, with his love of Chester and silver comes good for the big one.

0:14:380:14:43

So the Reds have a plan to find something for dad David

0:14:430:14:46

but what about dad Andy? He did set a challenge to find

0:14:460:14:50

the biggest item ever bought on Bargain Hunt. Well...

0:14:500:14:53

Do you know, you want big, Andrew...

0:14:530:14:56

-This is big.

-It's big. It's big.

0:14:560:14:58

What do you think of that, Kelsey?

0:14:580:14:59

I like it.

0:14:590:15:01

I do actually like it quite a lot but...

0:15:010:15:03

What would it make?

0:15:040:15:05

Well, it's not antique obviously.

0:15:060:15:08

-No.

-But there's something about the simplicity of it that I quite like.

0:15:080:15:12

The crucial thing is...

0:15:120:15:14

If we have a little look about how it works.

0:15:140:15:15

And it could be battery. Oh, here we go.

0:15:150:15:17

So we know that it's actually electric.

0:15:170:15:20

It's made by Smith of Derby, a clock-making company since 1856.

0:15:200:15:25

So Andy, tempted?

0:15:250:15:27

It's big, it's big, I'll give you that.

0:15:270:15:29

But you haven't got me interested enough.

0:15:290:15:31

Why? It looks nice.

0:15:310:15:33

Shall we find out how much it is?

0:15:330:15:34

-Yes.

-Yeah.

0:15:340:15:36

Ask our man, Kelsey.

0:15:360:15:37

Hello, how much is your big clock?

0:15:370:15:41

-140.

-140.

0:15:410:15:42

Is that your best price?

0:15:420:15:44

Could you do 80?

0:15:460:15:47

No.

0:15:470:15:49

-What's the death?

-One.

0:15:490:15:51

100.

0:15:510:15:53

I would not pay 100 for that.

0:15:530:15:54

It's not decorative enough,

0:15:540:15:56

-I understand that it's simplicity but...

-I think you should buy it.

0:15:560:16:00

-I need more.

-Why would you go for it, Kelsey?

0:16:000:16:03

I just... I think someone will buy it in auction.

0:16:030:16:06

-I do.

-You're not selling it to me, at all.

-£100.

0:16:060:16:08

You're not selling it to me one bit.

0:16:080:16:10

Someone would buy that for more than 100.

0:16:100:16:12

What if I can get it for like 95?

0:16:120:16:14

Do you know, at auction, worst case scenario,

0:16:140:16:17

this has got to make 50, 60 quid.

0:16:170:16:19

I mean, it's a large piece.

0:16:190:16:21

Go and ask him if he'll take 90.

0:16:210:16:22

Oh, so Dad can be persuaded?

0:16:220:16:25

Would you accept 90 and we'll buy it now?

0:16:250:16:27

Please! 95?

0:16:270:16:30

We'll get you a cup of tea?

0:16:300:16:33

One tea, two sugars.

0:16:330:16:36

-What's the verdict?

-95.

0:16:360:16:37

-Fantastic.

-On your head be it.

0:16:370:16:39

-Come on!

-Go on.

0:16:390:16:40

Shall we shake the man's hand?

0:16:400:16:42

Yes, there's no messing with Kelsey.

0:16:420:16:44

Two ticks for this tick-tock.

0:16:440:16:46

Not only is it your second buy but it could be the biggest item ever bought

0:16:460:16:50

on Bargain Hunt, and all within half an hour.

0:16:500:16:54

-Everybody happy?

-No.

-I'm certainly happy with what I've bought.

0:16:540:16:57

-I'm not.

-But you're not, are you?

0:16:570:16:59

-No, I'm not convinced with the clock one bit.

-I think it will make some money.

0:16:590:17:02

-No. Definitely.

-I don't think so at all.

0:17:020:17:04

-It will.

-It's on your head.

-OK.

-It's on your head.

0:17:040:17:06

He's got money left over to buy something now anyway so...

0:17:060:17:09

-And it's all mine!

-Well, we'll see about that.

0:17:090:17:11

Now, whilst both teams search for their third buy,

0:17:110:17:14

I'm popping off down the road to see a heavenly piece of sculpture.

0:17:140:17:18

Just outside Oswestry stands the 27 foot Knife Angel sculpture.

0:17:250:17:30

It's an example of the legacy of the region's steel-making heritage

0:17:300:17:34

but it has a darker message about the rise in Britain's knife crime.

0:17:340:17:38

I've come to meet sculptor Alfie Bradley to learn more.

0:17:380:17:42

Hi, Alfie. What an amazing sculpture.

0:17:430:17:46

How did it start and where did the idea of an angel come from?

0:17:460:17:49

It started about three years ago,

0:17:490:17:51

inspired from a documentary about knife crime.

0:17:510:17:54

I thought it would be a very good idea to create a massive sculpture

0:17:540:17:57

to try and create awareness about knife crime in the UK.

0:17:570:18:00

So where did all these knives come from then?

0:18:000:18:02

There was a complaint from the police saying they didn't have

0:18:020:18:05

enough knife amnesty banks around the UK.

0:18:050:18:07

The British ironworks decided to create, free of charge,

0:18:070:18:11

as many knife banks as the British police needed.

0:18:110:18:13

And in return we get the knives to create a giant sculpture out of all

0:18:130:18:17

these weapons. We had incredible support from the Home Office

0:18:170:18:21

and every single police force in the UK.

0:18:210:18:24

Over 32,000 knife crimes were recorded in England and Wales

0:18:240:18:30

in 2016, reportedly up 14% on the previous year.

0:18:300:18:34

The 43 police forces seized 100,000 knives in the amnesty

0:18:340:18:38

and all were used to make the angel.

0:18:380:18:41

So once you got all your knives,

0:18:410:18:43

how did you start welding them all together?

0:18:430:18:45

When the weapons come into us, they all arrive in biohazard tubes.

0:18:450:18:48

Once I've opened all the tubes, I've had to sterilise every single weapon.

0:18:480:18:51

One by one I had to blunt every single weapon,

0:18:510:18:54

so if anyone for some reason tries to touch it or climb on it

0:18:540:18:58

they can't injure themselves.

0:18:580:18:59

And then individually weld them one-by-one as well.

0:18:590:19:02

But all the knives are different sizes, different sized blades,

0:19:020:19:05

different coloured handles, so I had to play around,

0:19:050:19:07

try and work out what goes where so it's a long, long job.

0:19:070:19:10

The hands and face I've had to cut the blades up into little pieces to

0:19:100:19:13

almost use as skin to fill in the gaps.

0:19:130:19:16

From a sketch to a steel reality, how long has it taken you?

0:19:160:19:21

It's taken about two and a half years.

0:19:210:19:23

It took me a while to design it as well,

0:19:230:19:25

then I had to send all my drawings to a structural engineer.

0:19:250:19:27

How did you feel emotionally working on a subject like this?

0:19:270:19:31

To start with I didn't really think about it too much but then

0:19:310:19:34

the more I got involved with all the families that have lost people

0:19:340:19:37

through knife crime, it got harder and harder.

0:19:370:19:40

But it made it more worthwhile.

0:19:400:19:41

It's a symbol of peace.

0:19:410:19:44

Alfie is hoping that the angel will be placed on the fourth plinth

0:19:440:19:47

in London's Trafalgar Square,

0:19:470:19:48

an area used to display temporary artworks.

0:19:480:19:51

His aim is to reach more people with his message of peace.

0:19:510:19:55

Back to the shopping, and with less than 20 minutes left,

0:20:040:20:07

both father and daughter teams are neck-and-neck, with two items each.

0:20:070:20:11

They've all headed indoors and,

0:20:120:20:13

after buying items that please the daughters, it's now the dads' turn.

0:20:130:20:17

I love the buckle.

0:20:180:20:20

Why the market's really buoyant today, it's not just silver,

0:20:200:20:23

its enamel on top as well.

0:20:230:20:25

This is what you call champleve enamel,

0:20:250:20:27

where it's almost got this wonderful geometric patterning...

0:20:270:20:31

-Yeah, I was going to say.

-..on the puce enamel.

0:20:310:20:34

And, of course, if you turn it upside down the label says

0:20:340:20:38

935 German silver, so the actual standard is better than English.

0:20:380:20:43

-Right.

-Because we're 925.

0:20:430:20:45

-It's a pretty thing.

-I think it's really pretty.

0:20:450:20:47

-And it's unusual.

-But it's not Chester.

0:20:470:20:49

No, it's not Chester but...

0:20:490:20:50

Of course it comes down to the £95 ticket price.

0:20:500:20:53

80, but that would be it.

0:20:530:20:55

£80. Bottom price.

0:20:550:20:58

-Have a think.

-Have a think.

0:20:580:21:00

We have got 15 minutes left.

0:21:000:21:02

What have we seen so far, what do we like?

0:21:020:21:04

-The buckle we've just seen.

-Yeah.

0:21:040:21:06

-The tea set.

-The tea set, missing one cup, though.

0:21:060:21:09

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Didn't you see some other stuff out there...

0:21:090:21:12

There a silver cabinet on that first stall we went to.

0:21:120:21:15

-Do you want to go back there then?

-Yeah.

0:21:150:21:16

OK, come on then outside that way.

0:21:160:21:18

Buckle up then, Reds, you'd better rush.

0:21:180:21:21

You haven't got that much time.

0:21:210:21:23

Meanwhile, what can Kate serve up?

0:21:230:21:25

-It's a Butler's tray.

-Yes.

-What do you think of that?

0:21:250:21:28

-I love it.

-It's in good nick.

0:21:280:21:30

It's in very good nick.

0:21:300:21:31

We used to have these upstairs on the landing.

0:21:310:21:33

-Yes.

-So you'd carry the tray up and you'd put that down to open the door.

0:21:330:21:36

Right.

0:21:360:21:38

Sometimes you'd take that into the bedroom to put the tray on as well, so...

0:21:380:21:41

-Wherever it was.

-Yeah.

0:21:410:21:43

-I like that a lot.

-What do you think on the price, though?

-68 on that.

0:21:430:21:46

Yeah. It's Victorian in style...

0:21:460:21:49

But it's actually quite new.

0:21:490:21:50

-Yes, it is.

-So you can tell, the mahogany hasn't got any depth of patina.

0:21:500:21:55

No. Nothing at all, no.

0:21:550:21:56

You can see that that is really relatively new.

0:21:560:21:58

-Yes.

-So you run the risk in putting it into

0:21:580:22:01

an antiques auction of it just making sort of £10, £20.

0:22:010:22:05

-Yeah.

-That's the problem, because it is new. OK, all right. Onwards.

0:22:050:22:08

That's the end of that, then. Now, with less than ten minutes left,

0:22:080:22:11

the Reds are under pressure to seal a deal on a final item.

0:22:110:22:14

Hello, sorry to bother you.

0:22:140:22:16

My colleague David loves silver.

0:22:160:22:18

-Oh, lovely.

-So he's after the most sumptuous piece of silver, ideally Chester.

0:22:180:22:22

Oh, there's a Chester one. Oh, that's pretty.

0:22:220:22:26

Oh, how gorgeous is that! It's really cute.

0:22:260:22:29

It's a small stamp case isn't it?

0:22:290:22:31

-It is, yeah.

-Yeah.

-Silver items have been made,

0:22:310:22:33

assayed and sold in Chester since the 15th century

0:22:330:22:36

but it's assay office closed down in 1962,

0:22:360:22:40

making Chester silver items rare and more sought after today.

0:22:400:22:44

-Love it.

-Do you love it?

0:22:440:22:46

There we go. He's fallen in love.

0:22:460:22:48

He's happy, you've made my dad happy.

0:22:480:22:51

-So what year is this?

-I would say, looking at it, we can see...

0:22:510:22:55

The assay date code is a D, so it's circa 1906,

0:22:550:23:01

it's what we call Edwardian.

0:23:010:23:03

I love this bright-cut chased work.

0:23:030:23:06

And that is Chester with the city tower mark isn't it,

0:23:060:23:09

the city shield mark...

0:23:090:23:11

-It's lovely.

-I love it.

0:23:110:23:13

-Yeah.

-Yeah. Yeah.

0:23:130:23:14

Use your eyes. I haven't got my glasses on.

0:23:140:23:17

I think it looks in pretty good condition.

0:23:170:23:19

It's almost signed and sealed

0:23:190:23:21

and it's being delivered.

0:23:210:23:23

But there's no price tag.

0:23:230:23:25

-So what's on it?

-68, the best I can do is 60.

0:23:250:23:28

And that's the very best?

0:23:280:23:29

I'm afraid it is. That's the very best.

0:23:290:23:32

If that came into me tomorrow, into a sale, I'd guide it between 40 and 60.

0:23:320:23:38

Or 50 and £70.

0:23:380:23:39

It has got legs to run.

0:23:390:23:41

So what is going to be?

0:23:410:23:43

-Let's go for it.

-For the envelope more than the buckle?

0:23:430:23:46

-Yeah.

-Yeah. It's what you came to buy, isn't it?

0:23:470:23:50

There's the lady, she's a fellow Red.

0:23:500:23:52

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much.

0:23:520:23:55

We've done it. Shall we have a break?

0:23:550:23:58

-Yeah.

-Time for tea?

0:23:580:23:59

-Yeah.

-Come on, let's go.

0:23:590:24:00

David's a happy man, and with only five minutes left,

0:24:000:24:04

the Reds have wrapped up their final purchase.

0:24:040:24:06

Now, Blues, it's catch up time.

0:24:060:24:08

OK, you guys, you've got about five minutes.

0:24:080:24:11

-OK.

-We've got to get our skates on.

0:24:110:24:12

-OK, let's go!

-Round here, I think.

0:24:120:24:14

-Five minutes!

-I know!

0:24:140:24:16

Now, there's a little cabinet here

0:24:160:24:18

with lots of little bits of silver in.

0:24:180:24:20

-Nice.

-There's quite a pretty little jug.

0:24:200:24:22

Lovely, thank you very much.

0:24:220:24:24

-Have a little look guys, what do you think of that?

-It's dainty.

0:24:240:24:27

I think that would sell well in auction.

0:24:270:24:29

It's quite dainty, a little cream jug, I would think.

0:24:290:24:31

Too small for milk.

0:24:310:24:33

And it's not overly heavy but it's got a good weight to it,

0:24:330:24:36

what we call in the silver trade a good gauge.

0:24:360:24:39

We've got a very nice hallmark there.

0:24:390:24:41

It's George V in period, it's 1932, so nice quality piece,

0:24:410:24:45

lovely little paw feet.

0:24:450:24:47

-OK.

-So it stands well, it's in great condition.

0:24:470:24:49

-Yeah.

-It's got a lot going for it.

0:24:490:24:51

OK. I like the edging on this.

0:24:510:24:53

Do you know that's just what I was going to say?

0:24:530:24:55

Well done, Kelsey, cos that's got a lovely little raised rim

0:24:550:24:58

around it which just gives it a little bit extra.

0:24:580:25:01

You know, what are we looking at there on the ticket price?

0:25:010:25:03

55. Shall we get a cost?

0:25:030:25:06

-Yeah.

-What's your best price on this little item?

0:25:060:25:09

-On the jug?

-Yes.

-It's come out as 55 at the moment.

0:25:090:25:13

-48.

-48,

0:25:130:25:15

would you take 40

0:25:150:25:17

and we'll buy it now?

0:25:170:25:19

We're stuffed for time, you see.

0:25:190:25:20

You're right, Andy, time to count you down.

0:25:200:25:23

Eight, seven, six...

0:25:230:25:25

-41.

-Go on, then.

0:25:250:25:27

Five...

0:25:270:25:28

Thank you! Thank you so much!

0:25:280:25:30

Phew, that was close.

0:25:300:25:32

Five seconds to spare.

0:25:320:25:34

Teams, your time is up.

0:25:340:25:36

-In the nick of time, guys.

-Just in time.

0:25:360:25:38

Well done you!

0:25:380:25:40

That's us done. Come on, then.

0:25:400:25:41

Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.

0:25:430:25:46

First they paid £100 for a Georgian tea caddy.

0:25:470:25:50

Next they bought an early 20th century hand mirror for £10.

0:25:530:25:58

And finally a silver stamp case was sealed for £60.

0:25:590:26:03

So Reds, enjoy it?

0:26:050:26:06

-Yeah, we really enjoyed it.

-Yeah. Great fun.

0:26:060:26:08

So, David, your favourite object today?

0:26:080:26:10

It's my piece of Chester silver.

0:26:100:26:12

Which of the three items do you think is going to give you

0:26:120:26:14

-the biggest profit?

-I think it's going to be a little mirror

0:26:140:26:17

-that Amy picked up.

-Oh, really?

0:26:170:26:19

Well, moving swiftly to Amy. Amy, your favourite piece today?

0:26:190:26:22

Was a little mirror that I found. Quite girlie, quite feminine.

0:26:220:26:26

So which of the three you think is going to give you the biggest profits.

0:26:260:26:29

I'm going to go with my little mirror.

0:26:290:26:31

So how much did you spend, Reds?

0:26:310:26:32

170.

0:26:320:26:35

So you're going to give me £130.

0:26:350:26:38

OK, there you go, Charles.

0:26:380:26:40

So, what about the bonus buy?

0:26:400:26:42

Well, it's blowing a gale, now, it's very gusty,

0:26:420:26:45

so something that will blow in the right direction, northerly,

0:26:450:26:49

-with the profit.

-So while Charles goes off with a bit of gusto for the

0:26:490:26:53

bonus buy, let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.

0:26:530:26:58

First up they spent £50 on the single strand pearl necklace.

0:26:580:27:01

They struck a deal on this huge Perspex clock face.

0:27:030:27:06

£95 paid.

0:27:060:27:08

And finally they spent £41 on a silver cream jug.

0:27:100:27:15

Well, you two were like a pair of coiled springs.

0:27:150:27:18

So, let me ask you, Kelsey, what's your favourite item?

0:27:180:27:22

It was the small silver jug.

0:27:220:27:24

Definitely my favourite one.

0:27:240:27:25

Very nice thing. OK, that's your favourite,

0:27:250:27:27

but which of the three is going to give you the biggest profit?

0:27:270:27:29

-Again, the jug.

-Andy, favourite?

0:27:290:27:31

My favourite, I think, is the first item, the necklace.

0:27:310:27:34

And the one that's going to give you the biggest profit?

0:27:340:27:36

I think the biggest profit's going to be the jug.

0:27:360:27:38

-Yeah.

-You think so?

-It's certainly not going to be the clock.

0:27:380:27:41

OK, you don't think so?

0:27:410:27:42

What was the total spend, you two?

0:27:420:27:44

-186.

-So, you have got for me, what?

0:27:440:27:47

-114.

-OK, so, Kate, there's your 114.

0:27:470:27:53

-Thank you.

-The bonus buy...

0:27:530:27:54

-Yeah.

-Anything that's caught your eye?

0:27:540:27:56

Well, I think it will be something fairly sizeable.

0:27:560:27:59

So, while Kate goes off to find a sizeable bonus buy,

0:27:590:28:03

we're going off to the auction.

0:28:030:28:05

Today we've travelled from Oswestry up the road to Whitchurch,

0:28:100:28:13

on the border of Cheshire and Wales.

0:28:130:28:15

We're in the sale rooms of Trevanion and Dean and I'm actually joined by

0:28:160:28:20

Christina Trevanion herself.

0:28:200:28:21

-Hello.

-Hello.

-Well, lovely to be here.

0:28:210:28:24

Straight into the Reds. This is David and Amy.

0:28:240:28:27

Their first item is a Victorian tea caddy.

0:28:270:28:31

Yes, I mean, they were a staple household tool, weren't they?

0:28:310:28:34

This is where you would keep your very valued tea.

0:28:340:28:36

-Yeah.

-You've got a sarcophagus shape,

0:28:360:28:38

you've got this very pretty little mother of pearl inlay here.

0:28:380:28:41

-It is pretty.

-Yeah.

0:28:410:28:42

Really sweet and obviously the stringing work to it as well.

0:28:420:28:44

Very nice and then of course you've got that lovely interior.

0:28:440:28:47

-Beautiful, yes.

-But what's it worth?

0:28:470:28:49

-That's what I want to know.

-Well, I'd put £40-60 on it.

0:28:490:28:52

They were keen to have it because they paid £100 for it.

0:28:520:28:54

-Right, OK.

-That might be a bit of an uphill climb.

0:28:540:28:57

-Yeah. Well, you never know.

-Let's be positive.

-Exactly.

0:28:570:28:59

Item number two is the brass mounted miniature hand mirror.

0:28:590:29:04

-So sweet.

-I mean, have you ever stayed at the Savoy in Buenos Aires?

0:29:040:29:07

-Not recently.

-No!

0:29:070:29:09

And I assume they would have given these away

0:29:090:29:12

as little advertising wares, wouldn't they?

0:29:120:29:14

I think it's so pretty and vintage advertising ware does sell.

0:29:140:29:17

And, of course, useful as well!

0:29:170:29:19

-What's the estimate?

-I've said £10-15.

0:29:190:29:21

OK, they paid £10 for it.

0:29:210:29:23

-Oh, fine. Yeah.

-So I think that could fly.

0:29:230:29:25

Item number three, the little Edwardian silver stamp case.

0:29:250:29:28

Yes, they're not rare, unfortunately.

0:29:280:29:31

And normally it's not the sort of thing that we would put as a separate lot.

0:29:310:29:34

-It would usually come on an Albert chain, or something like that.

-Really?

0:29:340:29:37

Yeah, yeah. But assayed just up the road in Chester,

0:29:370:29:39

and we do get collectors of Chester silver. I've said £20-£30.

0:29:390:29:43

-Ouch!

-Oh.

0:29:430:29:44

They paid £60.

0:29:440:29:45

-Well...

-Again, it could be something of a struggle.

0:29:450:29:49

So, yeah, a bit of a roller-coaster over here, isn't it?

0:29:490:29:51

It strikes me that our Red team could well be in need of their bonus buy.

0:29:510:29:56

So, let's find out what it is.

0:29:560:29:58

So, David and Amy,

0:29:590:30:01

you left our Charles here £130 to go and spend on the bonus buy.

0:30:010:30:06

Charles, come on, reveal all.

0:30:060:30:08

I'm a passionate man and obviously I try and buy things that have

0:30:080:30:12

a certain affinity. So, voila!

0:30:120:30:14

There we go. What do you think?

0:30:140:30:16

I recognise that!

0:30:160:30:18

This is a gorgeous guilloche Austrian or German buckle of the 1920s.

0:30:180:30:22

And, then, just with your passion as well, David, for silver collecting now,

0:30:220:30:27

I went a bit post-war and found this gorgeous spoon in big bold colours,

0:30:270:30:32

made by a man called Leif Hansen.

0:30:320:30:34

So, David, what do you think?

0:30:340:30:35

Well, I love the buckle but the spoon is...

0:30:350:30:38

-Unusual.

-I think they're both gorgeous.

0:30:380:30:41

But I've never seen anything like the spoon.

0:30:410:30:43

I think that's really pretty.

0:30:430:30:44

-But how much did you pay?

-So, you gave me 130 and I spent £115.

0:30:440:30:50

I would like to think the auctioneer will put a guide price on them of

0:30:500:30:53

perhaps 100-150.

0:30:530:30:55

-Fab.

-Thanks, Team.

0:30:550:30:56

Bear in mind you do not have to make your minds up now.

0:30:560:30:59

Wait till you've sold your first three items

0:30:590:31:02

and then make that big decision. But in the meantime, let's find out

0:31:020:31:06

what the auctioneer had to say about Charles's passionate bonus buy.

0:31:060:31:11

Well, this is what Charles bought.

0:31:130:31:15

Not one item, but two.

0:31:150:31:16

Yeah, I think these are just beautiful.

0:31:160:31:18

And what's so important with any sort of Scandinavian design

0:31:180:31:20

like this is that the enamel is in good condition.

0:31:200:31:22

And it's in perfect condition.

0:31:220:31:24

We have had some interest in them.

0:31:240:31:26

-Good.

-They're well marked,

0:31:260:31:27

well stamped and I've said £50-70 on them.

0:31:270:31:30

Well, our Charles went and paid £115.

0:31:300:31:32

You see, I don't think that's a million miles away,

0:31:320:31:35

to be perfectly honest. It might just get there.

0:31:350:31:37

OK, well, let's watch, wait and see.

0:31:370:31:38

Now, for the Blues. This is Andrew and Kelsey.

0:31:380:31:41

We're going to start off with that strand of pearls.

0:31:410:31:45

Really pretty. At the moment, the fashion is very,

0:31:450:31:47

very much for single strand uniform cultured pearls.

0:31:470:31:51

So often you see in the market these days triple strands

0:31:510:31:54

or double strands of graduated cultured pearls,

0:31:540:31:57

which just frankly at the moment are reminding people of granny.

0:31:570:32:00

So they're just not selling as well as they did.

0:32:000:32:03

-OK.

-But this, very commercial.

0:32:030:32:04

We've had lots of interest in it.

0:32:040:32:06

A nice little gold clasp as well.

0:32:060:32:07

Really pretty. We've said £50-70.

0:32:070:32:10

Oh, good. They paid £50.

0:32:100:32:12

Great, yeah. Good buy.

0:32:120:32:13

So they're in the right part of the world, aren't they?

0:32:130:32:15

Item number two is the large clock face over there.

0:32:150:32:19

-Yes!

-I mean, that's a big one.

0:32:190:32:21

You're right, it is.

0:32:210:32:23

And it feels very at home here, of course, because this building

0:32:230:32:26

that we're in now was a turret clock manufacturer.

0:32:260:32:28

-Right.

-The movement on the back is by Smith of Derby,

0:32:280:32:31

who bought Joyce's Clocks that we're sitting in now.

0:32:310:32:34

So they were very much... It's very much part of the history

0:32:340:32:37

-of this building as well.

-Incredible.

0:32:370:32:38

So we do get a lot of clock buyers coming to the sale that might well

0:32:380:32:41

just be looking for a very large Perspex clock face, you never know.

0:32:410:32:44

OK. Estimate?

0:32:440:32:45

Well, I've said 80-120.

0:32:450:32:47

-They paid 95...

-It's a good, fun thing.

0:32:470:32:50

The third item is the little silver cream jug.

0:32:500:32:54

Yes, very sweet.

0:32:540:32:55

Typical of its period, 1932.

0:32:550:32:57

It's quite revivalist, isn't it?

0:32:570:32:58

Well, it is. I mean, originally that would be 1722, wouldn't it?

0:32:580:33:01

Absolutely. Because it's obviously not a purist piece,

0:33:010:33:03

it's a nice little thing, £30-50.

0:33:030:33:05

They paid 41.

0:33:050:33:07

-That's not bad.

-Again, the omens are pretty fair.

0:33:070:33:10

Whether they need their bonus buy or not, let's find out what it is.

0:33:100:33:15

So, Andrew and Kelsey, you left our Kate here £114 to go and spend.

0:33:160:33:21

So, reveal all, Kate, will you?

0:33:210:33:23

Well, I wanted to please you both, which is a little bit of

0:33:230:33:26

a tall order, I think, maybe. But this is what I came up with.

0:33:260:33:29

-What is it?

-It's a light.

0:33:310:33:33

You can see...

0:33:330:33:34

It's got the bulb in it still.

0:33:340:33:36

So, it's what's known really as industrial salvage in the current market.

0:33:360:33:42

It's a great looking green enamel shade,

0:33:420:33:46

with the light fitting, a pendant light.

0:33:460:33:49

It is so now.

0:33:490:33:50

It's probably very much in the '30s style but it could be as late as the

0:33:500:33:54

1950s and, indeed, there is a little stamp for Smith Light.

0:33:540:34:00

I think this is of the moment and should do well.

0:34:000:34:03

I like it.

0:34:030:34:05

-I thought you might do.

-Do I get the feeling that I have only pleased

0:34:050:34:08

-Kelsey?

-You certainly have, yeah.

0:34:080:34:10

-That would go well with the clock.

-Definitely.

0:34:100:34:14

Well, I have to say, you can't please them all, can you?

0:34:140:34:16

Well, I paid just £30.

0:34:160:34:19

I think that's a good price.

0:34:190:34:22

OK. The girls are together on this one.

0:34:220:34:24

So, how much do you think it will make in auction?

0:34:240:34:26

I think there is a good profit there.

0:34:260:34:28

I would put an estimate of £30-50

0:34:280:34:31

and, yeah, I think it's certainly got a chance.

0:34:310:34:34

Yes, no, I think it's good.

0:34:340:34:35

-I'm not convinced.

-Well, listen, you two,

0:34:350:34:37

you don't have to make your minds up now.

0:34:370:34:39

Wait until you've sold your first three items

0:34:390:34:42

and then enter into a negotiation. But in the meantime,

0:34:420:34:45

let's find out what the auctioneer has to say about

0:34:450:34:50

our Kate's industrial lamp.

0:34:500:34:52

Hold your breath.

0:34:530:34:56

I know. I know, it is so now, isn't it?

0:34:560:34:59

It is so now.

0:34:590:35:00

Industrial modern.

0:35:000:35:02

I mean, it's a fun thing.

0:35:020:35:03

It's a very now thing.

0:35:030:35:06

We do see a lot of them.

0:35:060:35:07

It's £30-50 at auction.

0:35:070:35:09

Kate went out and paid £30.

0:35:090:35:12

-Perfect, there we go.

-So, not bad going.

0:35:120:35:14

-Yeah.

-We'll see how it gets on at the auction.

0:35:140:35:16

-Are you going to be taking the sale?

-Yes, I'm looking forward to it.

-Good news.

0:35:160:35:20

50 and out.

0:35:220:35:24

50 in the room there.

0:35:240:35:25

And five.

Oh! That was a real shame.

0:36:190:36:21

-Never mind.

-Team, I'm ever so sorry.

0:36:210:36:24

You bought it for 100, you sold it for 55. You're minus 45.

0:36:240:36:27

It's not the best of starts, but it's not the end of the world.

0:36:270:36:30

-No.

-OK.

-Two to go.

0:36:300:36:31

0:37:030:37:05

Didn't I tell you?

0:37:050:37:06

A £20 profit.

0:37:060:37:07

Remember, you paid £10 for it.

0:37:070:37:09

You're now at minus 25.

0:37:090:37:11

Hey, we're getting down.

0:37:110:37:13

Thank goodness for me, Dad, let me tell you.

0:37:130:37:15

Your next item is the Edwardian silver stamp case.

0:37:150:37:18

You paid £60 for it. Coming up now.

0:37:180:37:20

0:37:220:37:24

0:37:330:37:34

Where's 50? And 50.

0:37:340:37:36

Yes, 50! Thank you, anyway.

0:37:360:37:38

Go on, sir. At £50. Internet bidder at £50.

0:37:380:37:40

Looking for five now.

0:37:400:37:41

So at £50 and I will sell.

0:37:410:37:43

-One more, one more!

-It's against you all. It's online at £50.

0:37:430:37:47

You paid 60, you've sold it for 50, you're minus £10.

0:37:480:37:51

You were already minus 25, you're now minus 35.

0:37:510:37:56

All is not lost because we've got the bonus buy to go for.

0:37:560:37:58

Charles was really enthusiastic, wasn't he?

0:37:580:38:01

-He was.

-Wasn't he?

-Yeah, he was, he was, he was.

0:38:010:38:03

So I think we should go for it.

0:38:030:38:04

Yeah. We're going to back you.

0:38:040:38:06

-Are you sure?

-Absolutely.

-Exactly.

0:38:060:38:08

-You're the man.

-Charles spent £115.

0:38:080:38:10

Well, here it comes.

0:38:100:38:11

Two in the lot altogether.

0:38:110:38:13

What am I looking for? £50.

0:38:130:38:14

They should be that all day long.

0:38:140:38:15

Where's £50 for them?

0:38:150:38:17

At £50. For the two at £50.

0:38:170:38:19

Where's 50? 50 I have, thank you.

0:38:190:38:21

At the back at £50.

0:38:210:38:22

Bid me five. At £50 I have.

0:38:220:38:25

Looking for five now.

0:38:250:38:26

-Come on, internet.

-Are we all done at 50?

0:38:260:38:28

Selling then at £50.

0:38:280:38:30

No, no, no, no, no! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!

0:38:300:38:34

You've just made a loss there of £65,

0:38:340:38:38

giving you an accumulative minus of £100, OK?

0:38:380:38:42

-Oh, wow.

-Don't look too down, that score may be a winning score.

0:38:420:38:47

So, not a word to the Blues.

0:38:470:38:48

OK, you Blues,

0:38:530:38:55

-how are we feeling?

-Nervous.

0:38:550:38:57

-Very nervous.

-Yeah?

-You look terrified, Kelsey.

0:38:570:38:59

I am a little bit.

0:38:590:39:01

-I don't want to lose.

-Your first lot is coming up.

0:39:010:39:03

It's the single strand pearl necklace.

0:39:030:39:06

You paid £50 for it and it's coming up now.

0:39:060:39:09

Classic, timeless and elegant, very, very sweet and I am bid already.

0:39:090:39:14

I've got £50. Here with me on commission at £50.

0:39:140:39:17

Understandably so. £50.

0:39:170:39:19

55 and 60, and five. And 70.

0:39:190:39:22

At £70. Still with my commission bid.

0:39:220:39:24

Thank you, anyway. At £70, then.

0:39:240:39:26

Looking for 75 now but I'm selling at £70

0:39:260:39:28

to my commission bidder at 70.

0:39:280:39:31

Well done!

0:39:320:39:34

Well done, you two.

0:39:340:39:36

You paid 50, you've sold it for 70.

0:39:360:39:38

£20 profit.

0:39:380:39:39

OK, good start.

0:39:390:39:40

Your next lot is coming up.

0:39:400:39:42

It's that large Perspex clock face.

0:39:420:39:44

You paid £95 for this.

0:39:440:39:47

You get a lot of Perspex for your money, don't you?

0:39:470:39:49

You do. It's coming up now.

0:39:490:39:50

Start me at £60 for it.

0:39:500:39:52

£60 for this very large clock face.

0:39:520:39:54

-60 I have.

-Yes!

0:39:540:39:56

65, 70, five, 80.

0:39:560:39:58

I'm out at 80. 85, sir, against you online.

0:39:580:40:01

Looking for 90 now.

0:40:010:40:03

At £85 I have.

0:40:030:40:04

Looking for 90. Are you all done?

0:40:040:40:06

It's at £85.

0:40:060:40:07

The internet bidder wins it then at £85.

0:40:070:40:12

-Oh, no!

-So close.

0:40:120:40:14

It's only little, but you did well.

0:40:140:40:16

You paid 95, you've just sold it for 85. Minus 10.

0:40:160:40:19

It gives you a rolling total of still plus £10.

0:40:190:40:22

-Yeah.

-Good.

-Your third lot is coming up now which is your

0:40:220:40:25

silver cream jug. You paid £41 for it.

0:40:250:40:27

OK, here it comes.

0:40:270:40:28

-OK.

-Lot 297.

0:40:280:40:30

Bid me £30 for it, please.

0:40:300:40:31

A lovely little cream jug, this, for £30 only.

0:40:310:40:33

Where's 30? 30 I have.

0:40:330:40:35

Thank you, madam. At £30.

0:40:350:40:36

Where's five? At £30 I have.

0:40:360:40:38

Looking for 35 now.

0:40:380:40:40

It's at £30. Looking for 35.

0:40:400:40:42

At 40, madam? Against you.

0:40:420:40:44

40. Thank you, anyway.

0:40:440:40:46

At £40. Are you sure you don't want it, madam?

0:40:460:40:48

It's at £40. Looking for five.

0:40:480:40:50

At £40. It's against you all, then, at £40.

0:40:500:40:54

Oh!

0:40:540:40:55

-So near.

-£1!

0:40:550:40:57

So near, yet so far.

0:40:570:40:59

You paid 41, sold it for 40. Minus one.

0:40:590:41:02

So, you're in a plus £9 situation when it comes to the bonus buy.

0:41:020:41:06

-Are you going to go with this?

-Yeah.

0:41:060:41:07

-You are?

-I think it's worth taking the risk, so we'll go for it.

0:41:070:41:10

OK, excellent. We're both in agreement?

0:41:100:41:12

-Yeah...

-OK, well, Kate, you paid £30 and it's coming up now.

0:41:120:41:16

Start me at £20 for it.

0:41:160:41:18

A bit of industrial chic...

0:41:180:41:20

£20. Bid me 20 for it, somebody.

0:41:220:41:24

For the Smith light at £20.

0:41:240:41:25

You should be all over this online at £20, surely.

0:41:250:41:28

At 20. Where's 20?

0:41:280:41:29

20 I have. Thank you, sir.

0:41:290:41:31

At £20. Where's five?

0:41:310:41:33

At £20 I have at the back.

0:41:330:41:35

I'm looking for 25 now, but I will sell if you're all done.

0:41:350:41:38

To this poor gentleman at £20.

0:41:380:41:40

Oh, no!

0:41:400:41:43

I'm really sorry, guys.

0:41:430:41:45

So, that was a £10 loss.

0:41:450:41:47

You were already plus nine.

0:41:470:41:49

You are only minus £1.

0:41:490:41:51

-£1!

-Only £1.

-Not bad.

0:41:510:41:54

Now, it goes without saying...

0:41:540:41:56

-Yeah.

-That could really be a winning score.

0:41:560:41:59

-It could be.

-OK?

0:41:590:42:01

But whatever it might be, not a word to the Reds.

0:42:010:42:04

-No problem.

-Excellent.

0:42:040:42:06

Well, both teams today, I have to tell you right away,

0:42:110:42:16

made a loss, OK?

0:42:160:42:17

And the team that scored the most today in the minus department

0:42:170:42:23

are the Reds.

0:42:230:42:24

Reds, you did it in style.

0:42:260:42:28

You did a minus 100.

0:42:280:42:30

Amy, hold your head with pride because your mirror actually made

0:42:300:42:34

a reasonable profit, did it not?

0:42:340:42:36

-It did. Absolutely.

-It did as well. But sadly the other two lots,

0:42:360:42:39

the tea caddy and the stamp case, were all in a minus.

0:42:390:42:43

The same was true when it came to the bonus buy.

0:42:430:42:46

You deserved better, but hey-ho, that's the way it sometimes goes.

0:42:460:42:50

But turning to the Blues...

0:42:500:42:53

I mean, you got a good start with that pearl necklace, didn't you?

0:42:530:42:56

Then you made a loss and then you found yourself back in profit.

0:42:560:42:59

I hate to say it, you went with the bonus buy and that knocked you into a minus.

0:42:590:43:05

But it was only minus £1.

0:43:050:43:07

How frustrating is that?

0:43:070:43:08

-Not bad.

-Not bad at all.

0:43:080:43:10

-Sorry, team.

-No, no...

-That's OK.

0:43:100:43:12

But what I want to know, teams, is have we all had fun?

0:43:120:43:16

-Yes.

-Yes.

0:43:160:43:18

OK, well, we hope you've had fun at home watching.
