0:00:02 > 0:00:05IRISH COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Guess where we are today, folks.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Well, I don't usually make a song and dance about things,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26but I couldn't resist a jolly wee jig.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Today, we're in Northern Ireland,
0:00:28 > 0:00:32and this is the McGuigan School of Irish Dance.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34We're ready, the teams are ready, so...
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- ALL:- Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:37 > 0:00:39CHEERING
0:01:04 > 0:01:06The Reds and Blues will be shopping here,
0:01:06 > 0:01:10one of Northern Ireland's largest antique shops.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Armed with £300 and one hour to buy three items,
0:01:14 > 0:01:19the Reds and Blues are hoping for big profits at auction.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24There's certainly enough to choose from in this antique shop.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Before we meet the teams, let's have a wee peek at what's coming up.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- The Reds bring on the charm. - You're a very handsome man.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37- Deirdre, isn't he very handsome? - Oh, aye, indeed.- Flattery'll get you everywhere.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- The Blues go a bit giddy. - I really want to buy them!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And we're going to get them and make money.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46And at the auction, there's belief with the Reds...
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Yes, profit! Profit! - ..and relief with the Blues.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51LAUGHTER
0:01:51 > 0:01:54But that's all for later.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01For the Reds, we have Deirdre and Andrea, who are good friends,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05and for the Blues, we have sisters Nicola and Julie.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Hello, everyone!- Hello! - It's lovely to have you here.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Now, Deirdre, you two have been pals for a long time,
0:02:13 > 0:02:14but how did you meet?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Well, I had a boyfriend at the time... - LAUGHTER
0:02:17 > 0:02:19..and she had a boyfriend at the time,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22and they were friends, and we met, the four of us, together,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24and then we both married.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- Uh-huh, yeah?- She's still married to one, and I'm not.- Oh, right! LAUGHTER
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- But that's OK.- Yeah, It's fine. - Deirdre, you're retired now.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34- Yes.- What did you do for a living?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I did admin, I was a temp for a long time,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40and I used to go to different places for short-term contracts.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- Right, OK.- And then, when I retired,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I did some voluntary work with the deaf,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48and then I do some work with the elderly, as well.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- So it's pretty busy? - Well, now and again! - LAUGHTER
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Now, Andrea, tell us what you did for a living.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00I was a clinical sister in oncology in a chemotherapy unit,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03and I felt very privileged to actually work with these people and
0:03:03 > 0:03:07these patients. They were very stoic, there were brilliant.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Oh, yeah, you obviously enjoyed your work.- Oh, yes, yes.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Very rewarding. Now, you've been friends for a long time.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18How are you going to get on in the shops out there this morning?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Well, we have different tastes... - Oh, that could be a problem.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Well, we sort of... I can find something that she would like, and
0:03:25 > 0:03:30- she might find something that I would like.- Do you want to spend money?- Yes.- Oh, girls...
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- We're not pastie supper girls, you know? We're expensive girls! - LAUGHTER
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Ah, excellent, excellent. Well, that's it from the Reds.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43Let's go on to the Blues now, sisters Nicola and Julie.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Now, Nicola, you've had a varied career,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49and changes during life. Tell us about that.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Well, I have had several careers, Anita.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55I have been a nurse, and a midwife, and a barrister at law,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- but I still don't know what I'm going to be when I grow up! - LAUGHTER
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Oh! Plenty of time, plenty of time.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Well, I hope so.- What do you do in your spare time?
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Do you have any spare time?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08I am volunteering for a disaster relief charity, based in Cornwall.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11We hand-deliver emergency shelter,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14solar lights and water filters to families anywhere in the world,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18if they've been affected by earthquakes, conflict,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- any sort of disaster. - Wow, that is absolutely terrific.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Now, Julie, I know you're a busy lady as well.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26You're a farmer, first of all.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- Yes, well, I married a farmer, so I've had to become one. - You've had to become one?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Had you experience in farming before?- Well, I was from the country,
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- and my brother had had one chicken and two pigs. - LAUGHTER
0:04:37 > 0:04:39How many animals do you have now?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42We have...we're quite big farmers now, we have about 300 cattle,
0:04:42 > 0:04:47- and we're getting a delivery of chickens tomorrow, about 25,000 chickens.- 25,000 chickens?!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Oh, that should keep you busy!
0:04:49 > 0:04:53It will, it will, tomorrow will be a busy day.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Now, Julie, I believe you have some letters after your name,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59you're an MBE. Can you tell us about that?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Well, yes, I received that about four years ago for services to
0:05:03 > 0:05:05disabled people in Northern Ireland,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09because I am involved with a horse riding charity for disabled people.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12It was a team effort, it was a team effort,
0:05:12 > 0:05:13there were a lot of people involved.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16But how are you going to get on out there in the shops?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Quite badly, probably!- Oh, yeah! - LAUGHTER
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Well, I think Julie might be more business-like than me.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24I would buy what I like, but we have to think about what sells.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- We have to get our commercial head on.- Your commercial head on here?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Absolutely.- Well, girls, before you go shopping,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32we'll have to give you some money.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35The money moment, girls.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- £300 for you.- Thank you, Anita! - £300 for you.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43- Thank you very much.- Your experts await, so off you go!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46We're going to have a great competition today.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52And lending a little helping hand along the way are two seasoned pros.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57It's going, going, gong for the Reds - it's Charles Hanson.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01And measuring up with the Blues, it's Ben Cooper.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Now, what kind of things are you looking to buy, Nicola?
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Well, I'm going to be open-minded, Ben, but I like the unusual.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Deirdre, what do you have to say?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Something nice and shiny, maybe gold or silver.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- You've got sport, baby. - LAUGHTER
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Julie?- I quite fancy some, maybe small furniture.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I like Oriental.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Something maybe full of Eastern promise?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Like me, Turkish delight. - Oh, I like that. - ALARM RINGS
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Right, teams, time to clock in.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Your 60 minutes start now.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- This way, let's go east, come on. - Come on, girls. Wow.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Wow.- Wow. - What an antique shop, hey?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I think, let's go straight through.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Wherever you turn, there's something different, isn't there?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- It's massive.- It's gorgeous.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I think you may struggle to see the woods for the trees today.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54First up, it's a vase for the Reds.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Do you like that? It's really quite moving, isn't it?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Oh, when you see what's on it.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Look at the handles, look at the nice doggy handles...- Yes.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05..which are almost like molten and melting,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09and then you've almost got, coming out almost this rocky
0:07:09 > 0:07:13outcrop of a grotto, are these two classical figures.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16And this is a vase that is very striking in design.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19On the bottom you'll see that sunburst mark on there is for
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Bretby, not too far from Derbyshire, and they were cutting-edge.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26This is where the market is today. Do you like it? Have a handle.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31- I do like it. It's quite heavy too, so it is.- How much is it?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- It's priced at £180. - 180.- Oh, my goodness me!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Look at me, is it worth it? - No.- Deirdre, look at me!
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- No!- You're a lady of style. - Not 180, no! - LAUGHTER
0:07:39 > 0:07:43I think it's expensive, let's walk on.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- It's unusual, as well.- Well, there's no messing about here today, is there?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49My goodness, aren't those absolutely horrible?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Nicola.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Girls... Girls, girls.- What would other people like?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Oh, goodness! So, it's obviously worth a fortune, then.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02- Now, it might not be your thing or it might be.- OK.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06It's a little plate. It's made by the famous factory, Spode.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Yep.- Right.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Date-wise, it's got a little stamp in the press mark as well,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14it's around about 1840, 1850, somewhere around there.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18You can date it accurately. And you've got this nice ivy leaf
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- pattern, and its £8.- Wow. - We could make money on that.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27I'm just thinking of the price, and should we be looking for things
0:08:27 > 0:08:30that are a little more expensive, or...? I don't know, it's...
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- But the important thing is the profit...- The profit, and what will it sell for?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- It's useful for anything... - It's nice, and it's old.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38It's old, it's useful, pretty colour.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Cocktail sausages at Christmas.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Oh, now you're talking, girl. So what are you thinking,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- are you thinking a yes or a no? - I'm being persuaded.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49By Jove, I think they like it!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Julie?- I would just like to have something in the basket,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54because we've been in this shop for five minutes and haven't bought
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- anything yet.- Exactly, Julie - get one under your belt.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- I really want to buy something! - Probably more than five minutes as well...- And we're going to get,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04we'll make money, somebody'll give us... We'll beat them down from £8.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- Absolutely.- Well, why don't we head back down to the counter and see what we can get on the price?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Good idea.- Right, shall I take it, save you dropping it?- Please do! - Right, come on, girls.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Well, that all sounds promising, Blues.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Meanwhile, the Reds have gone a bit potty.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Do you want to go now? Are you being serious? No, that's OK. - LAUGHTER
0:09:22 > 0:09:24You could put a nice plant in that.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Right, then, Julie, time to do a deal.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Right...- Thank you.- ..see what you can do.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Right, what's the least you'll take, Elizabeth?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- There's a wee chip in the bottom, so it's not in great nick. - I like your style, Julie.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- I can do it for five.- Five? OK, are you happy enough?
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- Absolutely.- It's a bargain.- Happy now.- Shake Elizabeth's hand.- Thank you, Elizabeth. That's great.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- The deal is done.- It is, delighted with that.- First item bought.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Brilliant.- Well, you're not the last of the big spenders, Blues,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52but at least that's one in the bag.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Meanwhile, the Reds are also checking out some porcelain.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- That's nice.- It's lovely, isn't it? - It's a lovely shape of cup.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Look at the light, can you see in the bottom...
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- There's a wee lady?- ..that silhouette of a geisha girl.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- Yes.- Uh-huh?- Country of origin? Have a guess.- Japanese?- Correct.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12What we look for with any export tea set from the high seas are
0:10:12 > 0:10:15six cups and six saucers. Is it all there?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17There's one, two, three, four, five.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- Pity.- So, really, guys, we're shipwrecked on that one.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- We're shipwrecked, with a splash, come on, let's go.- OK.- OK.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Shame. Never mind, team.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Still only 15 minutes into your shop, so no need to panic just yet.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Right, girls, use your eyes, they're the best tool you've got.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Julie, what do you think about wood, and this box?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- That's lovely. - Do you know what it is?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40It's a writing slope, so when you've got it down,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43it's at a nice angle to do your writing.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Yeah, would that sell, do you think?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Yes, I mean, they do, there are collectors for them,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50and they're one of those things which I know I've sold to people who
0:10:50 > 0:10:54are trying to find something for that gentleman who's got everything.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Everything.- Absolutely. And men are so hard to buy for that...
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- We are.- ..it's a nice gift to give.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Is it Victorian?- Victorian?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Yes, it would be later Victorian, you're looking around about 1880.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- I wonder what they would take for it.- 85's quite a lot. - Will I have a go this time?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- You discovered it.- Well, you might as well take a bit of ownership,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- you found it.- Absolutely, absolutely.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Right, shall I just give a shout and see if anyone's around?- Do indeed. - Anybody around to help us?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22And, as if by magic, David's here to hopefully do a deal.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25We found this box that we're quite interested in.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Now, I'm going to be very cheeky. Would you take £50 for it?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Oh, God, no, definitely not! - LAUGHTER
0:11:33 > 0:11:36No, OK, well, what would be the best price you could give us?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- 65.- 65?- Yes.- Go for it. OK.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Go on, David's been generous, shake his hand.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Yeah, thank you, David. - Well done, thank you.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Well done, girls, two items bought.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- Yep.- Are you happy? - Yes, I am.- Yes, we're getting there.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- We're getting there.- We are.- You're more than getting there, team,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56you've only got one item left to buy.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Do you want to go up?- Oh, absolutely.- Come on, girls, lead the way.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I think the Reds need to take a leaf out of your book.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04They still haven't bought anything!
0:12:04 > 0:12:09- Oh...- Here's your stuff... - Lovely. Oh, look at that...
0:12:09 > 0:12:13This is very much the almost Oriental room, isn't it?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- Yes.- It's full of objects of charm and promise. What do you think?
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- That's nice. Look at this, Deirdre. - Right...- That looks like a small porcelain table brush.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Let me see if the cabinet's open. Hold on. Let's have a quick peek in here. Good spot, by the way.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Isn't it really cute?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31The cabinet's open as well. Take it out, there we go, look at that.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Oh, it's lovely. It's porcelain, is it?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36It in good condition as well.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38So, what do you use it for?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Well, you would use it for crumbs off your table.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Off your table, off a big table. - Would you?- Not in my house, but...
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Table cloth...- in fine dining, you would, uh-huh.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- What do you think, Charles?- I think what appeals to me
0:12:50 > 0:12:53is that gorgeous figure, that lady, lady...
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Yes.- Very, very well-defined.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- She's very delicate.- Look at this beautiful ornamentation.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00It's hard paste porcelain,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03so we know it's continental and not English.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- How much is it?- It's 22.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Crumbs. Get it, crumbs? - Excellent, yes.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13I think we'll sweep that joke under the carpet, eh, Charles?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15To me, it's not expensive.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Is she marked at all?
0:13:17 > 0:13:21- There's something on the back. - I think, on the back there, there's a label...
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- But I don't know what it says.- Do you know, I thought it was French.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- It's Japanese.- Ah! - It says, "Made in Japan."
0:13:27 > 0:13:30So, although it's French in style, and it is hard paste porcelain...
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- Yes.- ..it's the Japanese imitating French porcelain.- French, yes.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I almost feel it's always good to get the icebreaker.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39We want to buy the first object,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41and this, to me, should be the first one.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- Let me try and find the dealer, I'll call him over.- OK.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Right, team, time to work your magic.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Here's shop assistant, Mark.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Can we ask you about this flapper?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Do you like her?- That's a lovely little girl, that.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- You're a very handsome man. - Yeah, you're very handsome. - LAUGHTER
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Deirdre, isn't he very handsome? - Oh, aye, indeed.- You're really handsome.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Flattery'll get you everywhere.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04We love this,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- and, what do you think...- Let me see.- ..you would take?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11£22.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Special deal, £17.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Now, we normally give 10% for an item of that, so £17,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- you're doing quite well. - What about 15?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- Please?- Go on, then.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Are you sure?- Yep.- Shake his hand, shake his hand.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- Deirdre, one down, shake his hand as well.- Oh, sorry, thank you.- We are grateful, Mark, thanks a lot.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Thank you.- OK. - Good job, team, well played.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36- We need another two.- Come on.
0:14:38 > 0:14:4140 minutes into the shopping now,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44and the Blues seem to be taking things in their stride, with two
0:14:44 > 0:14:49- items in the bag.- Aren't those dainty? Gosh, you're gorgeous! - LAUGHTER
0:14:49 > 0:14:52The Reds, however, only have one item ticked off
0:14:52 > 0:14:55their shopping list. Time to step it up, gals.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00That's quite sweet, from the dog plate to the owl bookmark.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04With a twit-twoo. Hopefully I'm no twit, but it might woo you!
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- Oh, very good.- Thank you very much. - Oh, Charlie, these jokes get worse!
0:15:08 > 0:15:10What we've got here, actually, is quite nice.
0:15:10 > 0:15:16It's a silver bookmark, and it's £48, but, actually,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18when it comes to collectables at auction,
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- owls are always sought after.- Yeah?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Solid silver, hallmarked Birmingham, with the anchor hallmark as well.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26There's the anchor mark on the back,
0:15:26 > 0:15:31and the date code is the year my brother John was born, 1983.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- Isn't that sweet?- It is sweet.- Have a handle of that. Like it?
0:15:33 > 0:15:37I do like it. It's something that you would pass down...
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Exactly.- ..to your children, and your children would pass down.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45- And you could also inscribe the back of it.- Yeah.- You know, I would guide it between 40 and 60, and I would
0:15:45 > 0:15:50- hope the dealer might just edge down to 40.- Do you?- Who knows, maybe a bit less.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Yeah, I think we should buy it. - Do you?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56So, I will go and find dealer Mark and see what he can do for us.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- OK.- Good luck, Charles.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Right, Blues, you started off well.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Are you losing your way a bit?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Don't panic yet, girls, don't panic. Don't panic, Captain!
0:16:06 > 0:16:09I think we're in the wrong room, I don't see anything in here.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Yeah, too expensive.- Shall we carry on through?- Yeah.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15OK, Charles, how did you do on a price for the bookmark?
0:16:15 > 0:16:21- Hello.- Hi, Charlie.- I've seen Mark, I've done a deal, with your blessing.- Good.- OK.- Good.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Have a guess how much.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- 40?- 38?- £38, sold!- Good, very good!
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Second one down, and I think, for £38,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- it's an owl that might just fly at auction.- I think so.- Happy?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- I'm happy.- Two down, one to go.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- Come on.- Thank you.- Follow me. - Good, good, that's more like it.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43That's both teams level pegging at two items apiece.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Ten minutes left on the clock.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Well, it's not shiny, but it's certainly a Bargain Hunt favourite.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Right...- I noticed, is this Lalique, Ben?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- It is Lalique.- Yeah. Now, that's obviously a famous name.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- Very pricey.- Lalique is pricey, it's so collected, I know people who,
0:16:59 > 0:17:04they run their businesses just on selling Lalique glass,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- because it is that sought after. - Oooh! Well spotted, Nicola.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- OK, now, what do you seriously think about this?- Right, let's...
0:17:10 > 0:17:13You come round here. Let's just have a little look.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16With Lalique, as with any other glass,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19condition is the most important thing,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21and when we look here,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23it is perfect.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27And then, all-important, on the base is the Lalique mark.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Can you just see it, just etched in on the base?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34So it's not signed Lalique, with the Lalique signature,
0:17:34 > 0:17:38this is one of the more mass-produced pieces.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43- It's got 145 on it.- It's a lot of money.- I mean, are you wanting a gamble?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Well, we'll live dangerously. We've been a pair of cheap birds, really,
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- up till now.- Well, we'll buy a bird, then!- Buy a bird? Why don't you...
0:17:50 > 0:17:54We're right by the counter, why don't you ask at the counter and see who's there?
0:17:54 > 0:17:59- Julie, you are going to take up the cudgel.- OK.- You do your wonders.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04I will do my wonders. Hello, Elizabeth, we're back again.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Are you happy with this? It's not... - Yes, no...- It's not as glittery as Julie wanted.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10It's not as shiny as I, well, I'll just look at these, while we...
0:18:10 > 0:18:14145's on it, so 125?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17125... You couldn't go down, 120?
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- 120.- 120, well, thank you, Elizabeth, you've been very fair with us today.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25So, are you going to make a decision - is this going to be the final moment?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- Let's go for it.- Well, why don't you shake Elizabeth's hand?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Thank you, Elizabeth. Let's not break the bird!
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- Oh, don't break the bird! - Very good, team. LAUGHTER
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- All three items bought with five minutes to spare.- You've got three things.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- I think you've possibly talked more than anybody else I know. - LAUGHTER
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Quite often I say, "Let's go and have a cup of tea." No, I'm going to find a darkened room,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- and just let my ears clear from the white noise! - LAUGHTER
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- She's worse than I am! - Great, girls. well done.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Thank you, Ben.- Thank you very much, Ben.- You go for a lie down, Ben.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Right, Charles, time to get a move on. What's the plan?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Shall we go downstairs, look at some good jewellery?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Yes.- Come on, then, let's go, this way.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Come on, team - two minutes left!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13I think we need a sense of urgency here!
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Right, team, does anything in the jewellery case look appealing to you?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- Too many things.- Too many things.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- So much choice, so little time. - I like this wee brooch in here.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- Which one's that? - And it's 15 carat gold.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- Which one's that, whereabouts?- And it's got wee seed pearls. - Oh, that's quite nice.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33One minute - time to make up your minds!
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Mark, hello. May we very quickly, for one last time, just view a bar
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- brooch?- It's in front of the cameo there.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44- Right.- Yeah.- That's it. - Oh, it is nice.- Tiny, isn't it?
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- That's lovely. 15 carat, Victorian. How much is that?- 88.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51OK. Let's make sure it's actually hallmarked, so I'll pick it up like that.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54OK, I can see the mark on here, Andrea, so it's 15 carat,
0:19:54 > 0:19:5815CT. That's a lovely, lovely 15 carat.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00There are 30 seconds left, team!
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I'm putting the clock up!
0:20:02 > 0:20:04It's priced £88, how much could that be?
0:20:04 > 0:20:09- 75.- That's good, isn't it? - Not bad. Um, we'd like...
0:20:09 > 0:20:1220 seconds!
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- A bit less, Mark?- It should be 75, but we could do it for 70.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Oh, thank you. - Do you know what, I like it.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- I like it. Do you like it? - Deirdre?- Ten seconds!
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Quick, quick, quick! - Thank you, Mark!
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Sold! There we go, we've got five seconds.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Thanks a lot.- Thank you.- Done it!
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Good grief, I think I may need to go for a lie down, too!
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Time's up, teams. CLOCK CHIMES
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Their first item was the Japanese porcelain doll brush.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Price paid, £15.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47Next, the little silver owl bookmark set them back £38.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53And finally, the golden pearl bar brooch cost them £70.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Well, girls, did you have a good time?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59We had a really good time, yeah.
0:20:59 > 0:21:05- Well, you started off awful kind of relaxed and...- Yeah, I know. - LAUGHTER
0:21:05 > 0:21:08..and then you were right at the wire at the very end.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Yes, yes, yes.- That's us. - Is that you?- That's us. - LAUGHTER
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Now, tell me, what was your favourite item?
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- The brush dolly.- Is that going to make the biggest profit?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I think it might, I think it might.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23OK. Are you in agreement or was your favourite item completely different?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Completely different, I liked the little pearl brooch.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Do you think that's going to make the most profit?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I'm not exactly sure,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I think maybe Andrea's will maybe make more than mine.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37All right. Well, you spent £123, ladies.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42- Could I have £177, please?- OK.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Thank you very much. Oh, and don't forget the coins...
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Thank you, Anita.- ..which I will hand over immediately to Charlie.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Thank you very much.- Quite a lot of money, Charlie,
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- do you know what you're going to buy?- Simply something macho... - Oh!- Oh!- Oh!
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- ..for the ladies to be inspired by. - LAUGHTER
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Oh!- While Charlie goes off to buy his bonus buy,
0:22:01 > 0:22:05let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10First up was the Spode creamware plate, price paid, £5.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15The mahogany writing slope set them back £65.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19And finally, the Lalique glass pin tray cost them £120.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Well, girls, did you have a good time?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- We've had a ball, a real laugh. - Absolutely wonderful.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27And, Nicola, what was your favourite item?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30I think I liked the box best.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I love wood, and the patina was lovely on it, but...
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- Is that the thing that's going to make the most profit?- Mmm...
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- I wouldn't like to put money on it, Anita. - LAUGHTER
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- Julie, what was your favourite item? - Well, I think the little dish at the beginning.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46I know it was cheap, but Ben picked it, so I think....
0:22:46 > 0:22:50I mean, you started off quite cheaply and then you started spending money!
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- We went mad at the end. - LAUGHTER
0:22:52 > 0:22:56What item do you think will make the most profit?
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- The little plate.- I think so.- The little plate.- You think so. So you're both in agreement.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05- Sisters both in agreement here. - Yeah.- You spent £190.- We did.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Perfectly respectable, girls. Could I have 110, please?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11You could, Anita, you could.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- All right.- All right. Which I will pass immediately over to Ben.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Ben, do you know what you're going to buy?- Well, I think...
0:23:18 > 0:23:22we've been trying...thinking about silver, maybe some Irish silver
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- might be a good idea.- That would be lovely, that would be lovely.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Now, before I head to the auction for all the drama,
0:23:30 > 0:23:34I'm off to Lisburn Cathedral to learn more about an audacious act of
0:23:34 > 0:23:37violence that was to go down in local history.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43In the early 20th century,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47the suffragette movement was hitting the headlines across Britain and
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Ireland for its provocative campaign.
0:23:50 > 0:23:56Its cause - to reform the voting legislation of the day and give
0:23:56 > 0:24:0015 million disenfranchised women the right to vote.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Large groups of women, led by Emmeline Pankhurst,
0:24:05 > 0:24:08were a common sight in London at the time.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13The suffragettes also had a huge following in Ireland.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17One prominent member was Mrs Lillian Metge,
0:24:17 > 0:24:20a housewife and mother from County Antrim.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26She made the news for an act of vandalism against this church which
0:24:26 > 0:24:29was to go down in Irish history.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34On the 31st of July 1914, Mrs Metge and three other local
0:24:34 > 0:24:38suffragettes attempted to blow up this building,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40the Lisburn Cathedral,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43in what was described as one of the most daring acts of the
0:24:43 > 0:24:46"Votes For Women" campaign in Ireland.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50To tell me more is Ciaran Toal of the
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Irish Linen Centre and Lisburn Museum.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Lillian Metge was a founder member of the Lisburn Suffrage Society in
0:24:57 > 0:24:591910, and, a year later,
0:24:59 > 0:25:03the All-Ireland Non-Militant Irish Women's Suffrage foundation, and she
0:25:03 > 0:25:06was involved in letter-writing and all sorts of activity.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10She resigned from the Lisburn Suffrage Society in April 1914,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12citing "administrative differences",
0:25:12 > 0:25:15but, really, I think everyone knew that she was starting to turn more
0:25:15 > 0:25:17towards the militant side.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24After witnessing police brutality against fellow suffragettes,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Lillian decided more direct action was needed.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32In her sights was Lisburn Cathedral.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Tell me what happened on the night in question.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Well, on the night of the 31st July, 1st August 1914,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41a huge explosion was heard over Lisburn.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42EXPLOSION
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Originally, the people of the town thought that the gasworks had
0:25:45 > 0:25:48finally went up, but soon it was discovered it was the east window of
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Lisburn Cathedral. When policemen arrived at the scene,
0:25:51 > 0:25:55they found suffragette literature dancing in the air and broken glass
0:25:55 > 0:25:57on the floor.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Almost immediately, the local suffragettes are suspected, and at
0:26:01 > 0:26:058am the next day, the local police arrest Mrs Metge and three
0:26:05 > 0:26:08accomplices at her home on nearby Seymour Street.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Did they have proof?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Well, this is quite interesting.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14At the trial, there was pretty convincing evidence presented
0:26:14 > 0:26:19against Mrs Metge herself. A local policeman reported following muddy
0:26:19 > 0:26:23footsteps from the rear of the Cathedral through Castle Gardens,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26across the convent and into the back of Mrs Metge's house on nearby
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Seymour Street. It's only a couple of hundred metres away.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33One policeman reported finding four damp overcoats with spent fuse wires
0:26:33 > 0:26:36hanging in a cupboard under the stairs.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38So it wasn't looking good.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40How did it all play out in the end?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44The last day of their trial coincided with a general amnesty for
0:26:44 > 0:26:46militant suffragettes in the UK and Ireland.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50If militants would cease their activities, end their hunger
0:26:50 > 0:26:52strikes, they would be released.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Lillian Metge's activism all but ceased by 1920.
0:26:56 > 0:27:03In 1928, the Equal Franchise Act was passed, giving over 15 million women
0:27:03 > 0:27:08the right to vote. However, nearly a century on,
0:27:08 > 0:27:13Mrs Metge and the suffragette movement's legacy still lives on.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Time to head to the saleroom.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Today, we're at Ross's Auctioneers in Belfast,
0:27:28 > 0:27:32with auctioneer Daniel Clarke. Daniel, it's lovely to be here.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Very nice to have you back again.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Well, first our Reds, Deirdre and Andrea.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Their first item was this little crumb brush.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Daniel, what do you think of that?
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Very unusual, I haven't seen anything just quite like it before.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51And rather attractive, it's nicely decorated.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56- What's your estimate?- I think it could make £40, 50, maybe 60, even.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Excellent, excellent. They only paid £15.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01So there's a sniff of a profit there.
0:28:01 > 0:28:07Their second item was the silver bookmark in the form of an owl.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09What do you think of that?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Well, I think some people are very superstitious about owls.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Other people collect them, so...
0:28:14 > 0:28:18It's nicely engraved, it makes an ideal present for somebody.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- Mm-hmm. Estimate?- £30, £40.
0:28:20 > 0:28:2530, 40? They paid 38, so it's touch-and-go on that one.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- Touch-and-go, very much so. - Their third item is this lovely
0:28:29 > 0:28:34Edwardian, 15-carat gold, seed pearl brooch.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38- What do you think?- The seed pearls are beautifully balanced,
0:28:38 > 0:28:40it's a nice size.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43I like it. They're not as popular as they used to be.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47I know, what a shame! I love those little brooches.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49I think it'll make £40 or £60.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53- £40, £60.- Yep.- They paid £70 for it,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55so they liked it a lot.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58It's a bit swings and roundabouts here.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Might not need their bonus buy,
0:29:00 > 0:29:03but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:29:03 > 0:29:08Deirdre, Andrea, you spent £123.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12You gave Charlie 177. Charlie, what did you buy?
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- Anita, it was a large sum, but I wasn't mean. - LAUGHTER
0:29:15 > 0:29:20- Are you ready, ladies? Here we go. I hope you like it.- Oh, I do like it.- Oh, yes.- Look at that.
0:29:20 > 0:29:25- It's almost like a butterfly with wings.- It's very delicate.- Yeah, it is. This is all the way from Derby.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29- Oh, right.- Royal Crown Derby, became Crown in 1890.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33This is circa 1895, and what really makes this quite special is what we
0:29:33 > 0:29:36call this reticulated design on the handles -
0:29:36 > 0:29:38very hard to achieve in the firing process.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42And I felt this was almost missed by the dealer in the shop, and I rate
0:29:42 > 0:29:44it quite highly. Very aesthetic.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Have a handle, look at the design - very Persian, very exotic.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52- And how much did you pay for this, Charlie?- Well, it cost me £130.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Will it make its money, do you think?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58I'm going to say to you, it will either make between 150 and 200,
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- or it could make £70. It's one of those.- Yeah, yeah.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04- So it's a bit of a risk, but I love it.- You did well, Charlie.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07It might fly. Hold tight. It might flop.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Do you gals like it?
0:30:09 > 0:30:14- We like it.- But, gals, you don't need to make up your mind just now.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- OK.- Wait until your other items have been sold.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21But, in the meantime, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Charlie's vase.
0:30:24 > 0:30:30Charles bought this rather nice Royal Crown Derby vase, Daniel.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Is this your type of thing?
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Well, the one thing I always think about Royal Crown Derby is it's
0:30:37 > 0:30:40beautiful quality and the quality stands out.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44It's very nicely marked. I think anybody who collects porcelain could
0:30:44 > 0:30:49be very interested in this, and it should make £80 to £100.
0:30:49 > 0:30:55OK. Charles paid 130, so he's pushed the boats out on that one.
0:30:55 > 0:31:00That's it for the Reds, now on to the Blues - Nicola and Julie.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05Their first item was this Spode oval dish.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- What do you think of that?- I think it's probably part of a large dinner
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- service.- Yes, yes. - It's transfer printed.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14There's that small chip in it,
0:31:14 > 0:31:16there's a glazing crack in it.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Daniel, it's getting worse and worse! SHE LAUGHS
0:31:19 > 0:31:22It hasn't got an awful lot going for it.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Somebody would maybe pay £10, £15.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Yeah. They only paid £5.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- Well, they should be... - They haven't paid a lot.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Their second item was the mahogany writing slope.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- Traditional antique. What do you think?- Well,
0:31:39 > 0:31:44there are people who collect boxes, and I'm sure they might like to have
0:31:44 > 0:31:47this. It's nicely hinged, it's got a nice tooled leather insert.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50So, £60, £80.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54Mm-hmm. They paid 65, so they're on the cusp there.
0:31:54 > 0:32:00Their third item was the little Lalique bird trinket dish.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01What do you think of this?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Well, this is a late piece,
0:32:03 > 0:32:08but it is very nicely marked and it's in the form of a grouse.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11And that makes it interesting, maybe, to somebody from...
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- Scotland?- From Scotland.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17- I like it.- Uh-huh. Estimate?
0:32:17 > 0:32:20I think it'll do £50 or £60.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22They paid £120.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26So, this may be the item that lets them down price-wise.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28In which case, they'll need their bonus buy.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30So, let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Well, girls, you spent £190.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36That's not bad.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39You gave Ben £110.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40Ben, what did you buy?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- Oh!- Oh, Ben.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47We were on a mission for Irish silver,
0:32:47 > 0:32:49and I know you went past, you said, "Oh!"
0:32:49 > 0:32:51We gave you loads of money!
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Everything else was loads more!
0:32:53 > 0:32:54There was something other than that.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Clearly, I've failed...
0:32:56 > 0:32:59That is absolutely no use to modern man.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00THEY LAUGH
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- Or woman.- Well, I'll just get my P45, I'll just go!
0:33:04 > 0:33:06I thought they were quite nice.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Poor little things. What is nice with them,
0:33:09 > 0:33:13is there is really clear hallmarks for Dublin, 1812, the maker,
0:33:13 > 0:33:16James Scott. What do you think I paid for them?
0:33:16 > 0:33:1845 quid.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19Bit less, I got them down to 40 on them.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26And what... And what do you think those will go for at auction, Ben?
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Well, they're not going to make an awful lot of profit,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32but I do think they should get to the 50, hopefully 55 mark.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Girls, you don't need to make up your mind just now.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Wait until your first three items have been sold.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39But in the meantime,
0:33:39 > 0:33:44let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Ben's sugar tongs.
0:33:44 > 0:33:50Ben's bonus buy, a piece of Irish silver, Dublin sugar tongs.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55Well, the big thing going for this set of tongs
0:33:55 > 0:33:59is the fact that it's Irish.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Irish silver is very popular.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05And I think there are people who will buy Irish silver
0:34:05 > 0:34:09regardless of how nicely it's fashioned.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- What's your estimate?- It should certainly make £20 or £30.
0:34:12 > 0:34:1320 or 30.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Well, Ben has paid £40.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19You never know, they might go the distance.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Well, I'm sure you'll do your best.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23Are you our auctioneer today?
0:34:23 > 0:34:25I'm the auctioneer today.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Excellent. I can't wait for the sale.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Well, girls, here we are.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38The moment of truth at the auction.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Tell me, how are you feeling?
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Good, confident, great.
0:34:43 > 0:34:44All right, that's very positive.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45Very excited.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Oh, you're very excited!
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Well, that's wonderful, girls.
0:34:49 > 0:34:55Well, your first item is coming up, it's that lovely little crumb brush.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Good luck, girls, it's coming up now.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Very unusual lot.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00Shall we say £40?
0:35:00 > 0:35:02I haven't seen a similar one.
0:35:02 > 0:35:0440, 30, 20 and bid five.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Any more? 30 with the Porter.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07The bid's at 30.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08At five.
0:35:08 > 0:35:1040 with the Porter.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11The bid's at 40 now.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14At £40 with the Porter, now, any more anywhere?
0:35:14 > 0:35:17I'm selling at £40.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- Great start.- £40, girls!
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- That was wonderful.- Brilliant.
0:35:23 > 0:35:28That is a profit on your first lot of £25.
0:35:28 > 0:35:34Let's hope we can maintain that good luck with your little bookmark.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38Birmingham silver, could we say £30, 20, I'm bid, ten?
0:35:38 > 0:35:4020, I'm bid, now, any more?
0:35:40 > 0:35:4330 here. At £30.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- Keep going.- At £30, the bid's here, five, take 40.
0:35:47 > 0:35:5140 here. At £40, with you, sir, at £40.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54All done at £40?
0:35:54 > 0:35:58£40, that's plus two, girls.
0:35:58 > 0:36:05Which takes your overall profit after two items to £27!
0:36:05 > 0:36:08We're in business, we're in business.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Gold and seed pearl bar brooch.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Say, £30, £20, it's a very nice little piece, this, 20, I'm bid.
0:36:15 > 0:36:1730, 40.
0:36:17 > 0:36:1840, here, any more?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Lady's bid at £40.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24- Come on!- Come on.- At £40, five.
0:36:24 > 0:36:2550, sir, thank you.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29- Come on.- At £50, it's behind you, madam, at 50.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32At £50 with the gentleman, here, at 50.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35At £50 and I'm selling at 50.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37£50, girls.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40That is minus 20.
0:36:40 > 0:36:46You're still in profit, but it's reduced your profit to £7.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50What are you going to do? Charles paid £130.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Fly with me, come fly.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54- Yes.- Come fly.- Well, whatever.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- Oh, no!- Are you absolutely sure?
0:36:56 > 0:36:57Yeah, we'll go for it.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59They're going to go for it.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04Charlie paid £130, and I have to tell you at this point
0:37:04 > 0:37:08that the auctioneer has estimated it at
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- 80 to 100.- Oh, no!
0:37:12 > 0:37:13It's coming up now.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16The Royal Crown Derby vase,
0:37:16 > 0:37:18can we open the bidding at £100?
0:37:18 > 0:37:22We'll take 50 to open, 50, bid, 60 now, any more?
0:37:22 > 0:37:2570, at £70.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- At £70.- Come on, come on. - At 80, new bidder.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29At £80.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- Come on.- At £80, I have.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34All done at £80?
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Selling at £80.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39That's minus 50.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44- Oh, I feel so bad. Girls, I'm sorry about that.- Give us a kiss.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47They want to give you a slap, Charlie!
0:37:47 > 0:37:51Now, girls, I'm afraid that takes you to minus 43.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55Listen, that could be a winning score, Charlie.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57That could be a winning score.
0:37:57 > 0:37:58Promise me one thing.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01You won't say a word to the Blues.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02- No.- Not a word.- Not a word.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03Well done, girls.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Well, girls, here we are.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- Tell me how you feel.- Very nervous.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Excited, excited.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- Going to kill Ben.- Oh, right!
0:38:19 > 0:38:21You haven't forgiven him.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- No, no.- We're going to see how bad things are and then we'll decide.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Oh, I see. I see.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28But your first item is the Spode oval dish.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Fingers crossed, girls, it's coming up now.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34What do we say for the Spode dish?
0:38:34 > 0:38:36We'll open the bidding at £2, two I'm bid.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39£2 I'm bid, four, at £4.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Any more? At £4, £6, thank you.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- Bid's here at £6. - The girls are into profit!
0:38:44 > 0:38:46At £6, the Spode dish.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49I'm selling at £6.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52£7 online, sir.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54This is exciting!
0:38:54 > 0:38:57I'm selling at £8.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03Well, girls, we've just got very excited over a £3 profit.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06But a profit is a profit.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Second item is that lovely Georgian mahogany writing slope.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Can we open the bidding, please, at £40?
0:39:12 > 0:39:1440 I'm bid, 50.
0:39:14 > 0:39:1660, any more?
0:39:16 > 0:39:17At £60.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19At £60 I'm bid now.
0:39:19 > 0:39:2070, new bidder.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- Yes!- Yes!- At £70.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25At £70, bid 70.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26All done at £70?
0:39:26 > 0:39:30I'm selling at £70.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32£70, girls.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35A small profit, but a profit nevertheless.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37The Lalique is coming up now.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41Nice piece. Could we open the bidding, please, at £30?
0:39:41 > 0:39:4530, I'm bid, 40, 50, 60.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Another 70.
0:39:47 > 0:39:4980, now, with the Porter.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51It's back with the Porter at £80.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Five? 90 with the Porter.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57At £90.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59At £90, I'm bid now.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01We have £90.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03We're selling at 90.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06£90.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10That's minus 30, girls, bad luck on that.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14But that takes your score to minus 22.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19Now you have to make up your mind at this point
0:40:19 > 0:40:22if you're going to take your bonus buy.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24And double our losses?
0:40:24 > 0:40:27It's up to you, girls, I can say nothing.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28Yes, we'll go for it.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Are you going to, after all that carry on?
0:40:31 > 0:40:33For a bit of craic.
