00:00The stars are coming to Angus' Yorkshire Auction House.
00:04We've actually got two celebs for the price of one, haven't we?
00:06Oh dear.
00:07Because he's helping more of our best-loved celebrities...
00:10Hello.
00:11Hey.
00:12Tuck your shirt in.
00:14Yeah, well, I've been working.
00:15...turn their belongings into cold, hard cash.
00:18Come on!
00:19This is my grandma's old wireless.
00:22He visits their magnificent homes...
00:24It's not often you come to somebody who has a window.
00:27...seeking out collectibles...
00:29Mmm, this looks nice.
00:30What do you think of this?
00:32Keepsakes from their careers...
00:34Please don't drop them.
00:35Those are staying.
00:36I was just looking.
00:37...and stuff they no longer need...
00:39We have this fridge here.
00:40Yeah, OK.
00:41...to sell back at his auction house...
00:43Oh, wow.
00:45This is like an Aladdin's cave for me.
00:48Well, it looks fantastic here.
00:49...turning their possessions...
00:515,100.
00:52I like it.
00:53...into piles of money.
00:56Boom!
00:59Good afternoon, the Yorkshire auction house.
01:09Look at that.
01:10Looks like it's never been out of the box.
01:13Right, Ewan, I hope you're excited for today,
01:15cos I am.
01:16We're going all the way to Surrey
01:17to see a bit of a legend, massive pop star, huge.
01:21Claire from Steps.
01:22Oh, Steps?
01:23Steps, yeah.
01:23Five, six, seven, eight.
01:26Tragedy!
01:27In the halcyon days of late-90s pop,
01:30no-one shone brighter than high-energy hitmakers' Steps,
01:34with Claire Richards playing a starring role.
01:37Four number-one albums
01:38and 22 million records shifted worldwide,
01:42Claire and the gang have been bringing the party
01:45to packed-out arenas for nearly three decades,
01:48whether you like it or not.
01:5028 years later, we're still here.
01:53Still annoying people, which is fabulous.
01:57They were huge back in the day.
02:0090s, early noughties, it'll be.
02:02So I'd have been a toddler.
02:04Yeah.
02:05Careful, Ewan, you've got five hours to Surrey.
02:10Have you practised your moves?
02:12Um, no.
02:14No, OK.
02:15I'll leave the dancing to you.
02:16I'll watch.
02:17An horrific thought.
02:19No offence, Angus, you were born to be an auctioneer.
02:22Claire, on the other hand...
02:24When I was young, I wanted to be a pastry chef for a while
02:26cos I liked to cook.
02:28Then I decided I was going to be a PE teacher.
02:32Cos I like sport,
02:34which is an absolute joke.
02:36I would have been the most useless PE teacher in the world.
02:39And then once I kind of had discovered that I could sing,
02:43I did my A-levels
02:44and I'd sent off for a few auditions
02:48and Steps was the only one that I got back.
02:51So I went on the 7th of May, 1997
02:54and myself, Faye and Lee were found at that audition.
02:57H and Lisa were already in the band.
02:59We worked hard in those first few months
03:01but we did it and we slogged it
03:03and it paid off.
03:05And it's still paying off
03:06with the group's 2022 Greatest Hits album
03:09reaching the number one spot
03:11exactly 25 years on
03:13from their first chart topper.
03:16I'm very happy to keep going at the moment.
03:19But we'll see.
03:20I can't imagine myself doing five, six, seven, eight in my 70s
03:24but you never know.
03:26Claire's pad is this modern five-bed detached home
03:30that she shares with her husband and two teenage children.
03:33The playroom is one of those rooms in this house
03:36that we obviously don't need anymore.
03:38My kids are 15 and 18
03:39so part of the reason why I'm doing this
03:42is to get rid of as much as possible
03:45from that room
03:46and kind of raise a little bit of money
03:49to be able to make it into what I want.
03:52I haven't quite decided what that's going to be yet.
03:56There you go, saviour of British pop.
04:00Oh, that's going me.
04:01I'm excited.
04:02Yeah, it's good.
04:03I have got a bit of a surprise for Angus.
04:07It's a bit of stepped history, I would say.
04:10Oh, Claire, you are a terrible tease.
04:12Hello!
04:15Hi, how are we doing?
04:16Welcome. I'm good, how are you?
04:18Really well, thank you.
04:18Come in.
04:22Well, it's absolutely great to be here
04:24and how is it we can help?
04:26I have a lot of stuff that I don't need anymore
04:29and that I've been holding on to for years and years and years
04:32so it's time for a little bit of a refresh.
04:34All round the house are we or...?
04:36We're looking all over the house
04:37but let me show you something.
04:39OK, well, Ewan, do you want to sort the van out?
04:40Yeah, yeah.
04:40We'll have a look.
04:43Here we go.
04:44OK, wow.
04:45Is this the playwright?
04:46This is the dumping ground, yeah.
04:48Go on, then, what's to go out of here?
04:49OK, so I guess the first things are the lamps.
04:52Fine.
04:53That one can go.
04:54This one, actually, I've had this for a long time
04:57so I bought my first house in 2001.
05:01I was 23, I think.
05:03It must have been a challenge, that young
05:05and sort of getting that success, was it...?
05:07I think it's only when you step away from it for a while
05:10that you realise what a struggle it kind of was
05:14and there was this perception
05:17that it was going to be such a short-lived thing...
05:19They absolutely...
05:20..that you had to rinse it for...
05:22100 miles an hour.
05:23...absolutely, and don't miss any opportunity.
05:25It was exciting.
05:26So, lights to go.
05:27Yes.
05:28There are two modern studio-style floor lamps up for grabs
05:32which could make up to £50 each.
05:35The pink case, that is one of two suitcases
05:38that I was given to go into the Big Brother house with.
05:41I've kept hold of it for all these years, for 12 years,
05:44and I've never used them.
05:46So we've got Big Brother cases.
05:47Yep.
05:48We've got lamps.
05:49Are you just happy for me to have a bit of a rummage,
05:51see what I can come up with?
05:52Yeah.
05:53You have a little look around, help yourself.
05:55I'll leave you to it.
05:55Thanks.
05:56Claire's a bit of an icon, isn't she?
05:59And she is so lovely.
06:02I don't think there's going to be loads of items,
06:04but it's great just to come and meet her.
06:06You know, I was in my teens when they were at their height,
06:10and, er...
06:11Yeah, I know a few of the songs.
06:13Please don't sing, Angus.
06:15That really would be a tragedy.
06:17Just see if you can find any smash hits among this lot.
06:21This looks good.
06:24Nice.
06:24They're sort of almost like a tennis bracelet-type necklace.
06:28So the earrings are actually 18-carat gold.
06:31So the fact that it's in 18-carat
06:33would suggest that the stones are diamond.
06:36We could be several hundred.
06:38Just depends.
06:39We'll need to test it.
06:40Exciting start.
06:41One for the jewellery experts back at base.
06:44Put that safe on the van.
06:46Time to hustle the muscle.
06:48Right.
06:49A few bits to get out of here, Ewan.
06:51And this, that's her suitcase that she took on to Big Brother.
06:54The suitcases still have the original celebrity Big Brother tags on
06:58from when she took part in 2013.
07:02Right, right, OK.
07:03We've got these loaded up.
07:04All right.
07:05Hop to it, Ewan.
07:06Remember, Big Brother is always watching.
07:10What?
07:15Crikey.
07:16Just one or two gold discs, then.
07:18Aha!
07:19Found your achievement room.
07:21Wow.
07:22I know, it's a lot, isn't it?
07:24Is there one gig that really stands out for you?
07:27I got to support Celine Dion in Hyde Park.
07:31Pretty epic, really.
07:33And there were thousands of people in Hyde Park that day.
07:36And it was terrifying, but also one of the most amazing things.
07:41Oh!
07:42Looks like Dave is arriving.
07:44Dave?
07:45I've got a surprise for you.
07:46This is something that I haven't told you about,
07:48and you're probably not going to be expecting it,
07:50but come and have a look.
07:52Aha!
07:53Finally, it's time for the big reveal.
07:56Right, follow me.
07:57Right, OK, you've got me intrigued, Clare.
08:00Oh, a van.
08:01I don't suppose H is hiding in there, is he?
08:03Don't tell me you've got life-size statues
08:05of all the band members of Steps.
08:06Oh, so...
08:08What?
08:09This is quite special, actually.
08:11So, on the last Steps tour, we had a set and we had a backdrop,
08:14and we had five letters, obviously, that spell out Steps.
08:19Steps.
08:19And they light up.
08:21These eight-foot-tall LED letters
08:24were used on Steps' 2021 UK arena tour.
08:29Tragedy?
08:29Yeah.
08:30Feelings gone and you can't go on.
08:33It's a tragedy.
08:34Simple as that.
08:35Well, we don't want any tragedies, do we?
08:36No, we don't.
08:36Please don't drop them.
08:37No.
08:37Well, me and Ewan will get these on the van.
08:39I'm going to leave you to it.
08:41I'd love to help, but I'm not going to.
08:43If Angus finds the right buyer,
08:46these letters could make up to two grand at auction.
08:49A bit different from the usual pick-up.
08:51And if not, he could just rearrange them
08:53and flog them to a pet shop.
08:55Oh, watch that step, Ewan.
08:58Any money that the auction raises from selling those
09:02is going to go to charity.
09:03There's a charity called Not A Phase,
09:05which supports the young trans community.
09:07It's something that we felt really strongly about,
09:09and so I really, really hope they do well.
09:12Oh, wow.
09:14Ewan?
09:15Yeah?
09:17Look at this.
09:19Wow.
09:20This is her husband's to me.
09:21Oh, yeah, OK, right.
09:23Is there anything in here that can actually go?
09:25Yeah.
09:25OK.
09:27One horsepower engine, this.
09:29I mean, it's not quite a Harley or a Triumph,
09:33but very traditional, classic rocking horse.
09:36Claire's bespoke modern rocker is from defunct,
09:39luxury rocking horse company, Suffolk.
09:42We've sold a lot of rocking horses over the years.
09:44Some early ones can make into the thousands,
09:46but one like this, two to four hundred,
09:48something like that, I would have thought.
09:50Anyway, should we get it on the van?
09:51Right, well, I've got the back end.
09:52I'll get kicked, so that's all right.
09:54Yeah, never stand behind it all.
09:57Well, it's going all right, you know, not a huge load.
09:59A mixture of items.
10:00I've got various bits of jewellery, luggage,
10:03you know, a bit of all sorts.
10:04Ewan's in for a real treat when we go home this afternoon
10:06because I've got the greatest hits downloaded.
10:08We're going to be learning all the tracks, educate him.
10:12I think he's going to be a big fan by the time we get to Yorkshire.
10:14Ewan seems more Mumford and Sons than Steps, Angus,
10:17so good luck with that.
10:19Even so, he's putting in a serious shift today,
10:22clearing Claire's playroom.
10:23So while he does that...
10:26These are very, um...
10:27Why don't you put your feet up?
10:29A little bit flash, aren't they?
10:30These are modern chairs in the style of sort of late 18th,
10:34early 19th century French armchair.
10:38Upholstered seat, back and arms.
10:40So quite a comfy chair.
10:42The style of this sort of thing's really gone off.
10:45You know, they're not going to do a huge amount,
10:47the pair of them, 30, 40 pounds of the pair, maybe.
10:50But, adding the fact, they're Claire Richards' chairs.
10:54I mean, they could do five, six, seven, eight,
10:58T-pounds.
10:59It's a Stepsong.
11:01I thought it was quite good, that, actually.
11:03With Angus's joke book safely packed away,
11:07along with all of Claire's things,
11:09the van is loaded up...
11:11Right, that's the last of it.
11:13Wonderful.
11:14..and ready for the long drive home.
11:18All done.
11:19All done.
11:20Yeah.
11:20How are we feeling now things are going?
11:22I feel quite good, actually.
11:24Yeah.
11:24I'm excited to see what happens with them now.
11:26Hopefully, there's some massive fans out there
11:29that want giant eight-foot step lights.
11:33Well, let's hope so.
11:34There's got to be somebody.
11:35It's been an absolute pleasure.
11:36It's been lovely to meet you.
11:37Thank you.
11:38Yeah, we look forward to seeing you in Yorkshire.
11:39Yes.
11:40Take care.
11:41See you.
11:42Thank you so much for coming.
11:43Oh, no, thank you.
11:44Looking forward to welcoming her to the salary match.
11:47I think she's going to enjoy it.
11:48I think she'll get to the spirit of it.
11:49And I just need to find a home for those huge lights.
11:53But we'd like a challenge.
11:55A challenge you can step up to, Angus.
11:58You ready?
11:59Well, you're doing the driving.
12:00Five, six, seven, eight.
12:02Let's go.
12:03Look out, Kirby Moorside.
12:04A sprinkling of pop stardust is en route.
12:20Hey, are you all right, Jack?
12:21Yeah, not bad.
12:23Claire's things have arrived safely at the auction house.
12:26Now, we've actually got the back of their stage set, Steps in Lights.
12:33The illuminated letters are just five of more than 80 individual items that'll need to be researched and popped in the catalogue before the auction.
12:43Excellent.
12:43Thanks, Jack.
12:44No worries.
12:53That's a nice bit of bling.
12:54A bit of bling.
12:56Bit of bling.
12:56Not sure I want Claire Richards to hear you say that.
12:58It's Claire's 18-carat gold necklace.
13:02Do you have any idea what these stones are?
13:04Are they sapphires?
13:05They are sapphires, yeah.
13:06Quite a light sapphire, actually.
13:09Sapphires are made from corundum, the second hardest mineral after diamond.
13:14They come in all different colours, depending on other elements within them.
13:18The purple in Claire's likely comes from the metal vanadium.
13:22But there are more jewels in this, by the looks of it.
13:25There's over 200 diamonds around here.
13:27Wow-wee!
13:28Big bucks then, Ewan.
13:30In terms of value, I mean, the sapphires and the diamonds mean this is not going to be a cheap item.
13:35I think it should comfortably do £1,000 plus.
13:37Claire also had a pair of 18-carat white gold hoop earrings set with sapphires, which will be offered as a separate lot.
13:46Well, I'd better get back to work.
13:47I'll see you later.
13:54Hi, Charlotte.
13:56Hi, Charlotte.
13:57Among the haul from Claire's were three leather bags by luxury Somerset-based fashion house Mulberry.
14:03Mulberry is just one of those, like, really quintessentially iconic English brands.
14:08I think it's gone through phases of being really, really popular, hasn't it?
14:10And Mulberry, maybe at the moment, isn't so up.
14:14I've got a Mulberry bag.
14:15And one thing I will say about it is the quality is really, really good.
14:18Leather, and they're made in the UK.
14:20So it's very durable.
14:21I spent quite a lot of money on it at the time, and I'm not sure it's probably worth that much now.
14:26Yeah.
14:26Because I brought it new.
14:27And I think that is the thing with handbags, isn't it?
14:29They often depreciate in value.
14:31We'll put them all individually.
14:32Yeah, yeah.
14:34So we've got a carry case here, a small handbag here, and then a duffel bag here.
14:40If these were retail, they'd be over £1,000 easily.
14:43Yeah.
14:43So auction is where it's at.
14:45Because I think somebody's going to get a bargain, aren't they?
14:47Exactly.
14:56Oh, Claire, how are you doing?
14:57You all right?
14:58How are you?
14:58Go for a hug.
14:59Are you all right?
15:00Yeah, good.
15:00How are you feeling?
15:01I'm excited.
15:02The big thing is your signs.
15:04Yes.
15:05I'm really interested and intrigued to see whether anybody is doing it.
15:09I mean, they're amazing.
15:10Yeah.
15:11But you've got to have somewhere for them, haven't you?
15:13Absolutely.
15:13Fingers crossed.
15:14Fingers crossed.
15:15Go on, let's go have a look round.
15:16I'll catch up with you in a bit.
15:18Thank you.
15:19No.
15:19No.
15:21Oh, my goodness.
15:23This is it.
15:25She's got some nice bits.
15:26We should get some good results.
15:28Yeah, I'm just excited to see how it goes.
15:29God, I really hope someone buys these today.
15:31A lot of memories in these letters.
15:33Any money we make from it is going to a really good charity.
15:36So, I'm keeping everything crossed.
15:40The signs, I mean, they're amazing.
15:42It'd be a tragedy if they didn't sell.
15:44This is the rocking horse we bought when the kids were little.
15:47We had that in their playroom for a long time.
15:50But they don't need it anymore.
15:51They're too big.
15:52She's got a few reserves on.
15:54That's fine.
15:55Do you know what?
15:55I think it's just nervous.
15:56She hasn't done it before.
15:57So, I think when the sale gets going, she'll be fine.
16:00I was a bit worried about whether things are going to sell.
16:02But actually, after seeing Angus, he did reassure me a little bit.
16:05He thinks it's going to be OK.
16:07So, hopefully, that means there's been interest already.
16:10You just never know, do you?
16:12Just hope it goes well.
16:14It may not exactly be Wembley Arena,
16:17but there's still a fair few bums on seats today.
16:20Hard to tell if they're Steps, Boys Zone or Spice Girls fans, though.
16:25Internet bids will be monitored by Emma and Heather.
16:27So, as Angus steps up to the rostrum
16:30with dreams of reaching the top of the pops for Claire's things,
16:34it's showtime!
16:37Right, ladies and gentlemen.
16:40We're very pleased.
16:41Don't be so embarrassed.
16:42There we go.
16:43Claire from Steps!
16:45Woo!
16:48That's the biggest round of applause we've had all week.
16:51Angus is kicking off with a couple of pieces
16:53of iconic, yet practical, celeb memorabilia.
16:57I bet nobody else has a pair of these.
16:59It's a matching pair of pink Celebrity Big Brother suitcases.
17:03These are the actual ones you went into Big Brother with, aren't they?
17:06Yes.
17:07How was that?
17:08It's a lot more boring than people think it is.
17:10There's nothing to do.
17:12These aren't boring.
17:13Look at them.
17:13They're brilliant.
17:14There we go.
17:14They've still got their Big Brother tags on them there.
17:16Where should we be for this?
17:17£50.
17:18They've got to be worth £50, surely.
17:20The Big Brother suitcases.
17:21£50 bid.
17:22Thank you.
17:22There we go.
17:23At £50 it is, then.
17:24At £50 it is, then.
17:25At £50.
17:25£5, £5, £55.
17:27It's for the pair of them.
17:28At £55.
17:29£60.
17:29At £60 it is, then.
17:31At £60.
17:31We're all done.
17:32At £60.
17:34From the Big Brother house to a house in York.
17:38They're very roomy.
17:39Very roomy.
17:40You can get a lot in them.
17:41Yes, you can.
17:42Jewelry next, and it's those 18-carat white gold hoop earrings with sapphires.
17:48These are nice, aren't they?
17:49These are very nice.
17:50Yes, they are.
17:51Very fashionable.
17:52I've got £720, £740.
17:54We're at two.
17:54It's been totting up while we've been speaking.
17:56£760.
17:57At £760 and bid, then.
17:59At £760 it is.
18:00I said it would be all right.
18:02You were worried you weren't going to sell a thing, weren't you?
18:03At £760 it is, then.
18:06We're all done.
18:06Final call.
18:07Sign them at £760.
18:09Now that's more like it.
18:13This is very exciting.
18:15Now whoever bought those earrings will surely want the sapphire and diamond necklace to go with it.
18:22This is nice.
18:23There we go.
18:23We've got a bit of international interest on this.
18:25My top bid comes at £1450.
18:27At £1450 it is, then.
18:29At £1450.
18:31£1500.
18:31Fresh bid.
18:32At £1500.
18:33Commission's out.
18:34At £1500 pound it is, then.
18:35At £1500.
18:36We've all done the set, staying together.
18:38At £1500.
18:41Yep.
18:42It's been snapped up by the same bidder.
18:45I can't go.
18:46It's all right, this auction, Malark, isn't it?
18:47It's really good.
18:48I'm going to go and find some more stuff when I get home.
18:50It's time for those swanky Mulberry bags, which Claire has decided to put reserves on.
18:57First is the black and brown leather duffel with a reserve price of £350.
19:03Travelled the world on all the world tours.
19:05It has.
19:06From Scarborough to...
19:07Cardiff.
19:08Yeah, Cardiff.
19:08There we go.
19:09Right, where should it be?
19:10£300, aren't we?
19:11Lovely Mulberry bag there.
19:12£300, £300, £320, £340, £360, anywhere is it now?
19:15I'll take £50 if you like.
19:17£340 at £340.
19:18£340.
19:20At just £10 shy of the reserve, Angus shuts down the sale.
19:25And when the carry case with a £350 reserve comes up next...
19:30At £340, is it now?
19:33..followed by the handbag with a reserve of £140...
19:37At £130...
19:40..they both also fall slightly short.
19:44I know, I know.
19:45Angus needs to get things rocking again.
19:48So what's he putting his money on?
19:51Claire's rocking horse.
19:53Aw.
19:53And we're off.
19:55£150, £160, £170, £180, £190, £210, £210, £220, £240, £250.
19:59At £250, I'm a bid at £250.
20:00Fresh bid at £260, it is then at £260, it is then £270, fresh bid.
20:05£280, is it now?
20:06At £280, it is then at £280.
20:08We're all done.
20:09I'm going to call 290, just in time.
20:12Might as well round it up to £300.
20:13Nice round number, isn't it?
20:14£300 bid at £300, it is.
20:17At £300, gavel up at £320.
20:19£320.
20:20That's been ridden round the whole country as well.
20:22Ridden round the whole country?
20:24You didn't get very far, though, did you?
20:27It's all right, keep talking, it's working, it's going up.
20:29At £360, don't miss out for the famous rocking horse.
20:33At £360, gavels up at £360.
20:36Time to bid farewell to the family filly.
20:41Bye, Ralph.
20:43Thank you.
20:44There's more to go, Claire, as over the next quarter of an hour,
20:4821 more lots come under Angus's gavel, including...
20:53..the two modern studio-style floor lamps...
20:58We're all done at £60.
21:00..the silver upholstered French-style armchairs and...
21:04That's £740.
21:07..a white metal eternity ring set with a baguette-cut diamond.
21:14My goodness me.
21:16No prizes for guessing what Angus has saved for the grand finale.
21:21Oh, ladies and gentlemen.
21:23Oh.
21:24Ready?
21:24We're going to light up the stage.
21:27Hey!
21:28Look at that!
21:29Full working order.
21:31Right, while we've been talking, we started a thousand.
21:33Commission bid at 2,000's already out.
21:35We're at 2,150.
21:37At 2,150 for Steps History.
21:40At 2-2, is it now?
21:41We're at 2,150 for the signs.
21:45The illuminated Steps lights.
21:47This is a one-off.
21:48Where are you going to get some of these?
21:50Final call, then.
21:51We're going to sell it.
21:52Five, six, seven, eight.
21:53Oh, no, it's tragedy, isn't it, yeah?
21:56We have to be done.
21:57All done!
21:59Now that's what I call a showstopper.
22:02Thank you.
22:04That's amazing.
22:07Breathe.
22:08We're done.
22:08I need a cup of tea.
22:10After finishing the auction on such a high note,
22:13I wonder what poptastic total Angus has in store for the Encore.
22:27There he is.
22:28Hey, are you all right?
22:29That was exciting, wasn't it?
22:30Yeah.
22:31And a couple of bits.
22:32OK, I think a couple of bags didn't get away,
22:33but everything else, all the jewellery, I mean, did all right?
22:37The big lot.
22:38The signs.
22:38I thought I was going to start crying when that went,
22:40but I was so happy that someone's bought them
22:43and they're actually going to get a life beyond...
22:46Oh, look, I'm getting all a bit choked up.
22:48Oh!
22:49I'm going to get a life beyond...
22:51Because when you stop using stuff like that,
22:52it just kind of gets binned.
22:54So, yeah, thank you.
22:56You'll be taking a £6,365.
23:00Oh, my God!
23:02Oh, my God!
23:03Yeah, thank you six grand.
23:04There you go.
23:06Blimey!
23:06That was all right, wasn't it?
23:08Yeah.
23:09I might be able to get a new bathroom.
23:11Oh, bless you!
23:16I've got a big smile on my face.
23:17I feel a little bit relieved that things sold.
23:21I feel a bit shocked, actually.
23:25The step signs.
23:26That was always going to be the tricky one,
23:27would they or wouldn't they?
23:28But they've gone.
23:30That's amazing!
23:31She's very happy.
23:32I'm very happy.
23:33And I think she's enjoyed her first auction experience.
23:36I'm going to go home and have another rummage.
23:38All right, Nick, you're in for a nice day out today.
23:48All right, tell me.
23:49We're off to the Yorkshire Dales.
23:51Nice.
23:52Yeah, lovely part of the world.
23:53Swelldale.
23:54Who do you think might live in Swelldale?
23:56It's got to be some sort of farming-related celebrity, maybe.
23:59Yeah, very well-known.
24:01The Yorkshire Shepherdess.
24:03Shepherdess.
24:04Amanda Owen.
24:05Yeah.
24:05Wow.
24:07Amanda Owen, better known as the Yorkshire Shepherdess,
24:11and star of hit shows like Our Yorkshire Farm,
24:14Our Farm Next Door, and loads more.
24:17She's also a best-selling author who, over the past two decades,
24:21has somehow found time to run a 2,000-acre farm with 900 sheep and 20 cows,
24:28not to mention raising nine children in the process.
24:32Now that's multitasking.
24:34I spend every day saying, where is everything?
24:37Where are the children?
24:38Where are the animals?
24:39Everything is scattered to the four winds here.
24:42Amanda's gorgeous 300-year-old home,
24:45plus its dozens of outbuildings,
24:47sits atop the Swelldale Valley,
24:50overlooking the rolling green meadows and dry stone walls
24:53of the magnificent and vast Yorkshire Dales National Park.
24:59We're really in the rural backwaters.
25:01Nothing works out here.
25:03Every day is a challenge.
25:04Every day differs.
25:06And it's exciting.
25:10Just like the landscape outside,
25:12it looks like Amanda's home oozes history too.
25:16I often get complimented on the house,
25:20not because it's perfect, obviously.
25:22People say they feel at home here.
25:25It's a place that feels like it's a little bit stuck in the olden days.
25:30Hear that, Angus?
25:31She's a woman after your own heart.
25:33There's lots of things that I'd like him to look at.
25:36I am a bit of a hoarder.
25:37I think at the last count we had 42 outbuildings.
25:42And over time, they have kind of accumulated things,
25:47so I'm quite happy for all of that stuff to go.
25:49She strikes me as the sort of person
25:51who would have some pretty eclectic stuff.
25:53Yeah.
25:54I'm really looking forward to it.
25:56We've got all manner of things,
25:58so it can have a root about amongst it all.
26:03Watch the laundry.
26:04Hello!
26:05Hey, Angus!
26:06Yes, brought Nick with me as well.
26:08And some sunshine.
26:09Thought you might be up up the hills, but we found you.
26:11No, I've just finished feeding the pet lambs.
26:13It's a bit of a quieter time of year,
26:14so it's a good time of year
26:15to have a little nosy and poke about amongst my stuff.
26:19Oh, come and have a look.
26:20Come on in!
26:20Yeah, thank you.
26:20Come on in!
26:23Come on through.
26:24Come on, don't fall over anything.
26:26It's like an obstacle course.
26:28It's how you imagine a Dales farm to be.
26:30The range, the fire.
26:31It's lovely.
26:32Well, that's what it's all about.
26:33I must admit, I'm not into particularly interior design,
26:37but at a place like this, in a house like this,
26:40you have to keep it true to what it really is.
26:43I just love the eclectic mix.
26:44There's all sorts.
26:45This is one of my talking pieces.
26:49I know what it is.
26:51It's a chastity belt.
26:52Yeah.
26:53Chastity belts originated in the 15th century
26:56and were designed to prevent young women
26:58from engaging in a lustful axe.
27:02One careful owner didn't work.
27:04Yeah, it didn't work at all, did it?
27:06Nine children each.
27:07Yeah, OK.
27:07It definitely didn't work.
27:09I am going to hang on to that.
27:10But I suppose that just illustrates
27:12the quirkiness of what we're going to find today.
27:14As we go along, I guess if you see anything
27:16that sort of stands out, and I can say yay or nay.
27:19Good plan.
27:21Well, I guess we should make a start on those outhouses then.
27:24Oh, wow, we like this.
27:26Most of this stuff has been sort of picked up along the way.
27:29Yeah.
27:30And it's been like, oh, I'll get round to moving that, shifting it.
27:33And then I don't.
27:34Yeah.
27:34And I saw another bar on there that looks full as well.
27:36Yeah.
27:37Yeah.
27:37If you were going to grade it, you'd have to say the worst is in there.
27:41OK.
27:42Anyway, I'll let you have a look.
27:43I'll go get the kettle on.
27:44Yeah.
27:44Well, see you in a bit.
27:45Thanks, Amanda.
27:47Right, Nick.
27:48I love that oil kettle.
27:49I don't want to get stuck into that.
27:51There's loads of things I've spotted.
27:52There's a real eclectic mix.
27:54My stuff I can get really passionate about.
27:56I think we could probably fill the van ten times over.
27:58But we'll see what we can do.
28:00If we do a good job first time round, she might have us back.
28:03Don't get ahead of yourself, Angus.
28:05Looks like there's an awful lot to sift through in here.
28:08If we go through, maybe we'll do a little pile out there of potentials.
28:13We'll get Amanda out and say, can we take this?
28:15Can we take that?
28:16Yeah.
28:16So that's nice.
28:17But I think the star, really, is the oil can.
28:20Yeah.
28:20I mean, that is.
28:21Yeah.
28:22Yeah.
28:23Look at that.
28:24I mean, that is.
28:25You know, automobilia or anything like that is really collectible, particularly the vintage bits.
28:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:31You can date this quite well, actually, because it's going to be early 1930s, because obviously
28:35that's very recognisable, the aeroplane, supermarine.
28:38That's 1931.
28:40That was flying and racing.
28:41So it's early 30s.
28:43Yeah.
28:43I mean, they fetched about three to five hundred at auction.
28:46Grease is the word, eh, chaps?
28:48Do you want to have a rummage through, see what you can find, and I'll go have a look
28:50in the other shed.
28:51Yeah, brilliant.
28:52A promising start.
28:54So, what will you spend your auction dough on, Amanda?
28:57If I'm really honest with you, and I think Angus will probably pick up on this if he hasn't
29:02already, I'll probably reinvest.
29:05If I'm hearing this correctly, I think Amanda wants to spend it all at Angus's.
29:10Angus is on to a winner with me, because I'll probably end up buying more than I end up
29:15selling.
29:16Now there's an incentive for you, Angus.
29:18Look at that.
29:19Bobbin shop.
29:2019.45.
29:21Nice.
29:22That is lovely.
29:23It's come out of a textiles mill, most probably.
29:26The bobbins that would have been on the textile machines, you would have housed in here, it
29:29would have been wheeled along the factory floor.
29:31The British textile industry, based out of Lancashire and Yorkshire, boomed in the late
29:3719th and early 20th centuries, before beginning a rapid decline after the Second World War,
29:43due to competition from abroad, where production costs were cheaper.
29:47Bobbin carts, like Amanda's from the 1940s, were used to transport spools of thread around
29:54the mills.
29:55It was a thing of purpose, made for industry, but now a thing of decorative beauty.
29:59The market for that's quite good.
30:01Nice thing is that.
30:02Hopefully that's a yes of Amanda for this one.
30:04Now, how's Angus's wingman getting on?
30:10Well, that's a nice selection you've put together, Nick.
30:12I like this.
30:13Oh, what's that?
30:14Now, I couldn't really tell you what it is, but I can tell you where it's from.
30:17It's some sort of sailor's tool.
30:19HMS Unicorn.
30:21Oh, nice.
30:21HMS Unicorn, that's actually a frigate, 1824, I think it was launched.
30:25Built shortly after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, the frigate HMS Unicorn never saw active
30:32service.
30:33In 1873, she became a naval training vessel and now sits remarkably well-preserved as a
30:39floating museum in Dundee Harbour.
30:42So, what I like about this, it's stamped HMS Unicorn with a date, 1874.
30:45It's also got the guy's name on it, the owner, D. Rose.
30:48I'll have to ask Mark, he was a sailor.
30:50Yes, indeed, exactly what I thought, yeah.
30:52One to look into back at base.
30:54Oh, great find.
30:55I like that.
30:56I'll grab Amanda and see what we can get on the van.
30:58All right.
30:59Providing there's no pets or livestock angers, I'm sure she'll be happy.
31:04So, we've put a few things out that potentially I thought maybe you'd like to let go.
31:09Don't know what that is.
31:11It's carved sort of big nut.
31:13Well, I know it's a carved big nut, but is it a money box?
31:16Yeah, I think that's really nice, is that?
31:18I like that.
31:18This 19th century Spanish money box is carved from coconut.
31:23I'm OK with that.
31:24The sailor's tool?
31:25Yeah, I'm not into sailing.
31:26OK, great.
31:27So, those bits could potentially go.
31:28OK.
31:30The blunderbuss?
31:31Yeah, the blunderbuss.
31:32Is there a market for blunderbusses?
31:34Yeah.
31:34So, this is Georgian late 1700s, early 1800s.
31:38A forerunner of the shotgun, blunderbusses had a distinctive flared muzzle and were predominantly
31:45a civilian's weapon used for self-defence.
31:48So, you know, when the hieromans come in, you can...
31:51Yeah.
31:51And then you fired your single shot and then you release your bayonet and you can vend them
31:55off.
31:55Vicious, isn't it?
31:57This old thing was decommissioned years ago.
31:59I think in its present condition, it's probably sort of 4 to 600.
32:03It's just a little bit tired.
32:05Got to be worth a shot, Amanda.
32:06Let's give it a go, then.
32:08Give it a go.
32:08With so many yeas and not many nays...
32:12Just, you still have to check it, make sure there's not a kid or a cat in it.
32:15Angus and Nick are getting away with a lot more than they bargained for.
32:18This cat's determined.
32:21And with the smalls loaded, all it takes is one final push...
32:26..to get the bigger bits on...
32:30..and it's almost time to trade one beauty spot for another.
32:36That's all loaded up, Nick.
32:37All right, OK.
32:38..and head back to Kirby Moorside.
32:42I thought I'd best show you the van before we drive off, Amanda.
32:45I'm going to be checking this out.
32:47Well, I know, well...
32:48..for stowa wares.
32:49There's no cats, there's no extra bits.
32:52You've done a really good job.
32:53Actually, there's more in there than I anticipated there would be,
32:57so you've convinced me...
32:58Get it shut up.
32:59..get it shut quick before I change my mind.
33:02Are you happy to swap the Dales for the Moors for a day?
33:04Definitely, I'm excited about this.
33:06We'll get off and we'll see you then.
33:08Well, it's been an absolutely wonderful day.
33:10And, you know, Amanda's let quite a few interesting bits go.
33:13So I'm really hoping we can do well at auction
33:16because that might just entice her to maybe call us back again.
33:20From the Yorkshire auctioneer to the Yorkshire shepherdess,
33:23it's back to the sale.
33:24Yep, time to get home and tend to your own flock, Angus.
33:27There's plenty of goodies for them to graze on in that van.
33:31All right, Mark.
33:45No, look at me.
33:46Can you give me a hand?
33:47I will.
33:47Yeah.
33:49Amanda's eclectic collection of curios and bygones
33:52is ready to be poured over by the team.
33:56Unusual taste in items, but you'll see as we get it out.
33:58Yeah.
33:58Just wondering if you could identify what this is.
34:01You might know what it's for.
34:03It's a mortise chisel.
34:04Is it?
34:05Yeah.
34:05So that'll probably be the ship's carpenter.
34:07And then, of course, it's hammered that
34:09and there's some little hammer indentations there, look.
34:12I knew you'd know what it was.
34:13Well done, Mark.
34:14The mortise chisel could make up to £100.
34:18Once the lads have unloaded the van and got everything inside,
34:21the big job of researching and cataloguing
34:24all those treasures can begin.
34:26So that's it.
34:27Thanks for your help, Mark.
34:28Appreciate that.
34:37What we've got here is a vintage child's pedal car.
34:41I've had a good look over this.
34:42Can't find any maker's marks,
34:44so it's impossible to kind of say who produced it.
34:48I'm thinking kind of 1920s, 1930s.
34:51Cars like this, especially in the early days,
34:53they were expensive and they were generally for wealthier people.
34:56They were all made by hand, obviously.
34:58So that's why I like items like this,
34:59because there's just more love going into making something like this.
35:02It's crank-driven as well.
35:04Obviously no brakes.
35:05Back in the day when fun and safety,
35:06they never went hand in hand.
35:08It was just about having fun.
35:09It's incomplete.
35:10It's missing quite a lot to it,
35:11but it's still in quite a charming condition.
35:14Because of the state it's in,
35:16I think we're just going to have to put a price to sell on it,
35:18like $40 to $60, something like that.
35:20It could do the higher end of that.
35:21I hope so.
35:26I must admit, when I first got given this,
35:28I had no idea what this was.
35:29Right.
35:29So I've done a bit of research.
35:31It's called a serving mallet,
35:32and it's like a rigging tool.
35:34Yeah.
35:34I'm reckoning this one's probably 19th century.
35:37Serving was a sailor's method of protecting rope
35:40from getting damaged by wrapping it tightly in twine.
35:44So you basically have pieces of string wrapped around here.
35:47Yeah.
35:48And you have your rope,
35:49and then you place it like that,
35:51and it would rotate around,
35:53and as you rotate it,
35:54it creates a very, very tight binding.
35:57And you can see how tight it was, though.
35:58Wow.
35:59Because that's all been worn in,
36:00and I'd imagine it's quite highly collectible.
36:02I would have thought so.
36:03Maritime stuff always does well, doesn't it?
36:05I mean, I'm thinking somewhere in the realm of 1 to 200.
36:08Never seen one in the sailor room, so...
36:10Yeah, well, we'll just have to see.
36:12Give it a go.
36:12Yeah.
36:12Angus, how are you?
36:23Amanda, how are you doing?
36:24You all right?
36:24You all right?
36:25Yeah, good, good.
36:26Beautiful day?
36:26Yeah, it is, isn't it?
36:27I'm busy time of the year for you.
36:29Don't.
36:29You're already making me feel guilty.
36:31Literally, as I've left Swaledale,
36:32the weather has got better,
36:34and now I'm in pure, beautiful blue skies, sunshine.
36:37Probably should be making hay, shouldn't we?
36:39But, look, this is a day off.
36:40This is a day out for me.
36:41Good.
36:42Well, you've got some nice stuff.
36:43Well, come and show me what you've done.
36:44Come on, then, go on.
36:45Never mind about making hay, Amanda.
36:47Yeah, I'll catch up with you in a bit.
36:49Today's all about turning your 22 lots into serious cash.
36:54My goodness, there's some stuff in here.
36:57Oh, temptation.
36:59The Yorkshire Shepherdess meets the Yorkshire auctioneer,
37:02and she's got some great items.
37:04I mean, really proper antiques.
37:06This was literally just shoved in the barn.
37:08I think, actually, that something had lived in it,
37:11looking at the chew marks.
37:12The oil can, the bobbing car.
37:14I think we'll do well.
37:15She's got some good bits.
37:16We've got plenty of pre-sale interest in.
37:19As for the car,
37:20I thought it was maybe consigned to go to the tip, really.
37:24But you never know.
37:25If Angus thinks he can sell it, maybe he can.
37:27She loves an auction.
37:28She goes to auctions all the time.
37:29This is like an Aladdin's cave for me.
37:32There's a lot of temptation.
37:34I just want to raise as much money as possible,
37:36so she's got plenty of money to spend.
37:38I can honestly say that I am really clueless
37:41as to what these items might make.
37:44I've just got to trust Angus.
37:45It all looks better than it did when I had it.
37:48I think, really, I just need whoever cleans all this stuff up
37:52at the auction mat to come to my house and start cleaning things.
37:55Amanda's items have been scrubbed up
37:57and herded up into 22 lots for the sale.
38:00Also looking neat and tidy as ever
38:02are internet bid-trackers, Millie and Jasper.
38:06So, with the Yorkshire Shepherdess in position,
38:08here comes a man who will never fleece his customers.
38:11It's Angus!
38:13You were very privileged to have you here at this time of the year.
38:15The sheep are done.
38:16The sheep are being sheared.
38:17The sheep are being sheaved.
38:19First, the question on everybody's lips.
38:22Who here needs to defend themselves against a highwayman?
38:26Ah, this wonderful late 18th century blunderbuss there.
38:29You put this to a lot of use, didn't you?
38:30Absolutely.
38:31If you're a bad shot, you can finish him off.
38:34She's joking, folks.
38:35It's had all its dangerous bits stripped out
38:37and is purely ornamental.
38:39Ah, we opened at £380 a bid.
38:42At £380 it is, then at £380.
38:43The blunderbuss there at £380 a bid.
38:45At £380, £400, is it now?
38:47At £400 a bid, £420.
38:48£420 a bid, then at £420.
38:50At £420 it is.
38:51At £420 pounds!
38:55The auction is off with a bang.
38:58Amazing.
39:00God, it's all that.
39:02Now, any junior mechanics out there fancy a fixer-upper?
39:06Oh, look at this.
39:07This is bon-found car.
39:10You know, classic.
39:11I don't even know where it came from.
39:12I don't know how it ended up there.
39:14But, yeah, hope it goes to a new home
39:16and somebody can do something with it.
39:17What do you reckon it's worth?
39:18See, it probably would have gone to the scrap.
39:20Would it? Oh, that's all right, then.
39:21Ah, we've got £50 a bid.
39:22And £5, £65, £75, £85, £95, £100.
39:26£100 a bid at £100 a bid.
39:27£110 commissions out at £110 on the net,
39:30then at £110, £120, £120, £120 it is,
39:32then at £120, £30, £40, £140 a bid.
39:35£150.
39:36£150 it is, then at £150 it is.
39:39Hold on, I'm going to sell away the net bid at £150.
39:41Wow, that one really hit Top Gear.
39:47Oh, you've done well, though.
39:49Can Angus deliver another slick sale with this next lot?
39:53The Gummages Motor Oil can.
39:55There we go, a lot of interest in this one.
39:56£400, stop.
39:57At £400 it is, then at top bid.
39:59At £400 it is, then at £400.
40:00You're all out.
40:01At £400 it is, then at £400.
40:04Then I'm selling away, then at £400.
40:05The oil can, £4.20 fresh bid, £4.40, £4.40, £4.40.
40:09It's against you on line, all done at £4.40.
40:14Well done, Angus.
40:16Another one in the can.
40:17Er...
40:18I'd be happy with that.
40:18Fine.
40:19Let's see if Angus can tie up another sale with the next lot.
40:23It's a sailor's rigging mallet, not...
40:28No.
40:30Lovely thing.
40:31Er, and I've got £70 bid.
40:33At £70 a bid, then at £70 it is, then at £70, at £70.
40:35For the sailor's tool there, at £70.
40:36All done at £70 it is, then at £5.
40:38£80, £80 a bid.
40:39£80 it is, then at £80 it is, then at £80.
40:42And £80 it is, then at £80.
40:45Looks like our skipper is clearing the decks today.
40:48Oh, this is excellent. I'm so enjoying this.
40:51With the wind billowing his sails, Angus batons down the hatches
40:55and sees off another 16 lots, including...
40:59At £100!
41:01The 19th century sailor's chisel from HMS Unicorn and...
41:06All done at £80!
41:09The 19th century coconut carved money box.
41:15Yay! You got there!
41:17So what's Angus been saving for last?
41:20One of my favourite lots.
41:23You had to get the straw and the chicken droppings out of that, didn't you?
41:27And you nearly took a cat!
41:28Yeah, all right, the cat was in it.
41:30There we go, the bobbin shop, 1945, the war period.
41:34That is just lovely, make a great log basket or something like that.
41:38It's a nice thing, is this?
41:39Got £260 bid at £260.
41:41It's lovely, the little cart there.
41:42At £270 and bid, £270, £280, £280, £290, £300, £300, £320, £340, £340, £360, fresh bid, £360, £380 and bid.
41:52Then at £380, at £380 it is, then at £400.
41:56At £400 pound it is, then at £400.
41:58Selling then at £420, just in time.
42:02£420 at £440.
42:03At £440 it is, then at £440.
42:06Wind the bobbin up and watch it go.
42:11Thank you so much, you can come back any time.
42:13I will, I will.
42:15Angus has sheared off every single one of Amanda's 22 lots.
42:19But how much cash has he rounded up for her to, er, spend in his auction house?
42:24Hey, Amanda, how are we doing?
42:26There is nothing like the excitement of an auction.
42:29Yeah, a bit slower than what you're used to, because, you know, livestock auctioneering, that's...
42:32The metal car.
42:35Yeah.
42:36You had taken its pitch from the best angle, I must admit.
42:39It's a little bit rough and ready, but lovely.
42:41Rough and ready, that sums me up.
42:43That sums up everything.
42:45It's all a bit of fun and I've really, really enjoyed being here today.
42:48And you've made me a bit of, erm, money to reinvest.
42:51Well, do you want to know how much money you've got to spend?
42:53Go on then.
42:54£2,286.
42:57You're serious, eh?
42:58Yeah.
43:00That, I can't believe that.
43:02Because this is stuff that, erm, that I actually won't miss.
43:06Yeah.
43:07It's been an absolute pleasure.
43:08It's been an education.
43:09Well, you ring me next time you want to clear out.
43:11Yeah.
43:12He has got the gift of the gab, that guy.
43:15I thought I had the gift of the gab.
43:16Nothing compared with him.
43:18This is the first time that I have actually been and sold items at an auction.
43:23Sold animals, sold sheep, sold cattle, all the rest of it.
43:27But, yeah, it's been a wonderful day.
43:29I've so enjoyed myself.
43:30I'm delighted for Amanda.
43:32She's had a great day.
43:33Great to have her here.
43:34Great Yorkshire lass.
43:35And, yeah, hopefully we'll see her again.
43:37Thank you.
