03:22right team's time to open those challenges and i think some containing red that's got to be a lucky

03:35for blue team excellent go blue team make it snappy teams your shopping starts now

03:42all right time's ticking let's go we got this they're off we're shopping clock's on 60 minutes

03:49and already the blues are talking tactics so we had a plan to get to really cheap

03:55items yes good i like this plan and then expand and spend a lot of time on the big spin okay well

04:03izzy seems happy with that over with the reds michelle seems something red from my challenge

04:09that's quite nice yeah drawn by the color what does it say on the label there

04:13opaline uh-huh glass bars possibly made in italy 50 pounds no i think that's one i'll possibly pass on

04:23richard's not keen meanwhile the blues have spotted something that could meet their challenge

04:29they look like they're probably sapphires should we get it out should we ask the dealer for a key and

04:34have a closer look and have a look yeah let's do that whilst the blues wait for the key is it time

04:40for tea an enamel teapot of extraordinary proportions that's actually really nice yeah that's really

04:47quirky isn't it yeah it is priced at 55 pounds now what do you think it's something like that would

04:55make i'd want to fight for about 30 pounds yeah yeah i'm hoping to make 10 or 15 pounds on it but

05:00hey there it is yeah we can look it doesn't cost nothing to look the pricey teapots a no back to

05:07the blues who are taking a closer look at a ring buy it on see if it fits it's a nice classic style

05:13isn't it it is sort of bluestones diamonds sapphires particularly diamonds they are people do like them

05:18it's a lot at 159 yeah yeah what kind of money would that search auction maybe 60 to 80 and on a good

05:25day if two people want it you might get into three figures but we are quite a long way off but

05:30what is the best price on it i think on this we could go 130 you wouldn't go 100 i don't think

05:36they'd go 100 i know bad burner good try sarah now once richard spotted it's actually got a nice

05:43old look about it yeah that is true it's easy to ignore it but often these are the little treasures in

05:52these on these days things that have been covered up or they're lurking beneath why don't we just take the

05:57pieces off yeah let's well let's have a look at it oh there's a ticket oh look at that here is a

06:05ticket it's a handmade bench and it's 80 pounds hmm i'd want to be buying that for you for about 40 pounds

06:16to try and make you a 20 pound profit yeah so thanks very much we'll just put it back again

06:22so while the reds keep searching the blues have found this the coat rack ah okay so 120 pounds

06:32it's not old it's a modern piece in an older style but yeah it's certainly got a good look to

06:38it it's a useful item what do you like about it pete just its chunkiness the heft to it

06:45what do you think it's okay would you have it in your house no no probably not you knew sarah was

06:54going to say no yeah that's why you like it would i mean it's 120 pounds yeah it's a lot of money

07:00it is a lot of money yeah yeah should we ask the best price no no okay that's a definite no okay

07:05that's definite let's wonder if it doesn't hook you in move on these look colorful richard it's a group

07:13here of three persian enamel dishes and bowls you know we had to find something with red on it if

07:22you look hard on this persian enamel dish there are flashes of red aren't there yeah and on this shaped

07:29oval dish and again on this bowl again tiny little red flower heads the ticketed price for all three

07:3925 pounds i'm not sure when it's red enough orchard you know we've got to satisfy the challenge

07:47yes the words are an item containing red it doesn't have to be hold red i don't know if i like them

07:54enough mm-hmm okay would could we come back to them i'll go off and just find out if they could be

08:01bought for 20 pounds and if they can be i'll ask them to put them on hold for us so we've got them on our

08:06list yeah we could come back later on happy with that yes yes okay i'm not sure they're keen richard

08:12over with the blues something's caught pizza rather handsome cat do you have cats we used to we had

08:20for many years oh he's nice have a look have a look he's got handsome he's nice he's got this crackle

08:28glaze on i agree he's nice people love cats yeah yeah true good size what's the price 48 pounds

08:36on the ticket well why don't we ask about price and just see because then we know where we're at yes

08:40yeah okay yeah that's us a dealer okay whilst the blues get a price for the cat the reds have spotted

08:48something unusual oh the red rolling pin yeah indeed well i i rather like that sort of uh type of decoration

08:57these were made in a nail see outside of of bristol these were made in the 19th century uh and in fact

09:04this is quite old then yeah yeah indeed are they just a decorative item or would they well no they

09:10were actually used practically they could have been used in the kitchen for for rolling out pastry and

09:16and they were very popular yeah yeah 10 20 years ago i'm not quite so sure today i can't see a price on

09:24it um 60 pounds let's say it's marked at 60 we could get some discount on it but i think it'll if you

09:30have to have a lot of a discount to get a profit yeah we would okay let's go okay right okay move on

09:36very decisive michelle now what's the news on the cat ticket price 48 um i think i can definitely do

09:4340 on that absolute bottom price what were you hoping for i was hoping it might start with a

09:50two two i can i can give them a real yeah yeah yeah thank you very much the cat's not in the bag yet

09:59and from cats to hats there is indeed a red interior in this 19th century bucket

10:07made from a georgian hat box okay it looks like a very posh bucket very posh isn't it it's priced at

10:1580 pounds so i happen to know that the stall holder has said that he would discount anything on this

10:21stand by 30 percent so therefore with an 80 pound ticket on it he's knocking off 24 pounds okay i think

10:30that's okay come on here anything anything read through here let's go have a look so while they

10:36keep browsing the blues are sticking with their animal theme what about this one oh i see where you're

10:43going blue tail containing blue and it's red red and blue for bargain yeah absolutely i just think

10:50he's cute yeah yeah i think he's very charming bit of art glass to glass paperwork yeah but it's nice

10:58paperweights went through a phase of being extremely popular so they're not always sort of the round ones

11:02you think of you can get them modeled as animals but nowadays i mean you could have it on a desk but i

11:07think someone would just have it as a decorative object perhaps someone who loves bunny rabbits yeah

11:12what's the price so it says 10. okay we're making you work today neil you are so right

11:18would there be anything you could do for us on that one please i'll tell you what as is you yes i'll go

11:24nine oh yeah it's also not a lot of money here 10 pounds we wanted we wanted we wanted two cheap items

11:31so he ticks that box yeah he does yeah i think there might be a small profit on a bad day it's five to

11:3710 but on a good day 10 to 15 10 to 20 yeah we'll take the rest shall we let's take the risk thank you

11:43very much thank you thank you thank you thank you well done blues 15 minutes into your shop and that's

11:51your first item bought and it ticks off my challenge of something containing blue now adele seems taken by

11:58some silver cool little dishes there yes they're really decorative yes really yeah really sweet

12:06very pretty yeah you were drawn to i could tell yes straight away i really like them i think they're

12:11really really pretty yes work that's gone into them with your reaction so far i feel i've got to go and

12:18get the cabinet open while richard finds the key sarah has spotted something colorful oh there'll be

12:25rosenthal the rosenthal design they used to be collectible nowadays not so much auction you sort

12:31of find that you can have a set of them and they don't do fantastically well but they're very pretty

12:35and decorative but how much are they 15 pounds for each of them i'd imagine it's it's going to be

12:43around that at auction in terms of its value yeah okay nice they've got the original box yeah keep

12:49looking meanwhile the reds are weighing up those silver dishes are they heavy not very heavy no i

12:55thought oh you thought they'd be heavier than you yes indeed well they are silver they're solid silver

13:01at 68 pounds before we negotiate and that's at 40. you liked the little one more didn't you yeah i just

13:08thought he was yeah yeah indeed yeah okay but would you like to find out what they could be yes yeah time

13:13to get neil in this one's 68 i could do you 61 on that and then the smaller one is 40 we go 36 on that

13:21does 36 work for you 36 isn't an increment in the auction room so he'd be going 32 35 38 so 36 would be

13:30so we would need the extra pound i know it's a i'm splitting hairs yeah go on in 35 done thank you

13:37yeah so so do you think there's there's a bit more of a profit in the 35 pound one yes yes that is

13:43better value um yeah it's right at the top i think we have to go for that one i could tell you right

13:48to as soon as i walked past that kind of it made you smile didn't you all of a sudden yeah okay should

13:54you buy it yes yes thank you very much neil thank you we're going to have the little one 35 pounds so

14:00brilliant well done reds you got there in the end both teams now have one item each but with half

14:07their time gone they need to pick up the pace was sarah spotted for the blues it says it's a welsh

14:14fireside stall i think so you can get two bums on there really can you couldn't get two of mine on

14:20there well you might be facing away right come on we're going to test this you and me right i'll

14:28have the big end okay i'll perch myself this end there we are oh i think we could actually yeah we can

14:34both put on not like comfy though i've got the lumpy no i think it's a bench for one yeah but it's

14:40very nice so how much is this one 88 right let's see right let's ask yep while izzy looks for neil

14:49the reds have headed outside oh look at the crowns what do you think i do like them and i love that

14:55rusted rustic look don't you yeah with greens i think they're splendid i do think they're splendid

15:00they would be of relatively recent manufacture i love the fact that there's three of them there

15:06yeah i'm hoping we we might get more than one yes yeah aren't you yes yeah i've got no idea how much

15:14they are no there's no price on them there's no you know we're looking to spend 75 pounds should we

15:20actually go and find out find out yeah yeah while the reds get a price for the crowns

15:25what's the news on the 88 pound bench yeah i could go down to 79 on that one would you come down to 75

15:3575 yeah go on 75 twisting my arm there but 75. we can think about it yeah okay well we know it's here

15:42we're nice for you for 75. thank you yep okay thank you thank you it's another maybe back to the reds

15:50and their crowns they're 55 pounds each okay that's the best price today if the the best we could we

15:58could probably take 10 pounds off you today so 40 45. and what if we bought two of them we could take

16:06another five pounds off the two so it would be 85 for the two what are you thinking i really like i

16:11really like them yeah could you come down a little bit more that is the price i'm afraid yeah the two

16:17at 85 pounds for the pair one each yeah yes they're buying something that you both like is that in real

16:23yes yes yes yes so should we say that they're sold a deal yeah thank you very much thank you very much

16:29indeed good job reds that's your big spend sorted 85 pounds for the two rustic crowns

16:37just 15 minutes left and blues you've only bought one item are you worried izzy the shot started really

16:44well and we all loved the bunny but it's gone downhill since then and we haven't really seen

16:49anything that pete and sarah love i think we might be cutting it to the wire and end up with two hurried

16:54purchases at the end so while izzy cracks the whip the reds are focusing on their challenge an item

17:01containing red well that particular color is referred to as cranberry so cranberry glass was introduced in

17:09the 19th century it's just a nice term for red glass can you can you just tell me from here how much

17:17of ours is yeah um first quality and it's got nd 30 pound that's either no damage or no discount 30

17:26pounds feeling that hmm but where however you're i can see you're just thinking yeah it's very decorative

17:33i think that the design is really pretty as well and of course we cannot forget our three persian enamel

17:40dishes so we've got it we've got a shopping list we've got 15 minutes should we go and look at one

17:45other item to add to this and then you just choose yeah easy as that yeah the reds have a plan

22:40all right put it there put it there okay sarah what was your favorite item the rabbit paperweight

22:46now the paperweight was my challenge item yes to buy something that contained the blue but what do you

22:51think would make the biggest profit the cat the cat what about you what do you think all right

22:58so how much did you spend in total 109 pounds right so you've left izzy a whopping 191 pounds hand it

23:06over thank you very much i hope you've got big pockets for all of that what are you planning to do

23:12i know you were desperate for some silver so i'm going to see what i can find brilliant

23:16well while izzy goes off in search of a bonus buy i'm going to learn about some fascinating local folklore

23:28across the world every culture has its own stories and superstitions passed down through

23:34generations from mythical creatures and local legends to magical men and women and in this part

23:41of west wales folklore has played an important role in shaping history to find out more i've

23:48come to the carmarthenshire county museum to meet folklore expert dr owen williams hi owen lovely

23:54to meet you nice to meet you too thank you for coming now owen why do you think folklore has been

24:00so important to people in this part of wales a lot of these stories around folklore are transmitted

24:06through the welsh language it's one way of keeping the language alive and part of the intangible

24:12heritage that makes this part of the world so special well when you think of folklore you think

24:16of stories and superstitions but it can also be linked to real physical objects like these can't it

24:23objects derive a lot of their meaning from the stories that are attached to them like this for

24:29example it looks like part of a tree this is a fragment of an oak tree that was planted in nearby

24:36carmarthen town and it's grown to be known as merlin's oak by local people merlin as in the wizard

24:44that's right yes one thing that's been said is that merlin made a prophecy about this tree

24:51when merlin's oak shall tumble down then shall fall carmarthen town

24:57so the people of carmarthen thought of it as something sacred but sadly um a local man around

25:041856 decided to poison the tree because local people used it as a meeting place he lived nearby

25:13and got sick of them discussing their affairs every day and did the tale come true did carmarthen town

25:19fall well thankfully not carmarthen is still here luckily now i never knew that merlin was thought of

25:27as being welsh let alone from carmarthen there have been stories dating back over a thousand years

25:34that link merlin to various parts of wales but particularly to carmarthen he would probably have been known

25:43more as a physician or a prophet perhaps

25:46but why do we call him a wizard if he was more of a physician or a prophet because he may well have

25:53been somebody who was known as a man of the woods type figure who was able to maybe predict weather

26:01patterns and over time stories got exaggerated and so he became associated with magic because that seemed

26:09to be the only explanation for people back in those times clearly it was a very superstitious time

26:15why do you think that is well at the time of course they didn't have any newspapers or radio

26:22so stories were often the ways in which people came to understand the world and that's how we got the

26:29tales of merlin that we know so well today were there any folklore beliefs that protected against evil

26:36at the time yes there were many for example this was once known as the magic eye what is it it's actually

26:46a potato with matchsticks stuck into it so what was it actually for well it was actually used to

26:53protect crops okay so this was found in a carmarthen garden around about 1910 and it was hung over a

27:02patch of peas growing there and it was just believed to have protected them against external threats like

27:10insects birds or even bad weather sort of like a medieval starchy scarecrow that's absolutely right

27:18and this object here had a similar purpose of repelling evil now what is that it looks like hair is

27:25it human hair animal it's actually horse hair horse hair it was found hung up on the back of a door

27:33in a local town called lan only about 20 minutes from here

27:38it was said to have been hung at the doorway to protect against anything evil coming into the

27:46property now i'm sensing a theme because you know this is all about protecting the crops and the home

27:53exactly it was incredibly important to people especially in a rural area like carmarthenshire

28:00now we've talked about these small items but my eyes being drawn to something magnificent and rather

28:05large behind me this cauldron is believed to have dated back at least to the 1800s in eastern carmarthenshire

28:14it was used by a local wise woman to create all sorts of herbal remedies salves balms and tonics

28:23now when you say wise woman do you mean a witch well funnily enough no okay there are actually very few

28:31reported incidents of witches in this part of wales and indeed in wales in general women who

28:39came up with herbal remedies were known as wise women and they were very well respected within their

28:45communities whereas witches of course were seen as people to be feared oh and thank you so much for

28:52your time i've loved learning about carmarthens folklore and its medieval beliefs thank you

28:57but now it's time to see if our teams can conjure up any magic over at the auction

29:05and for today's sale i'm staying in carmarthen i've come to meet auctioneer ian taylor

29:11ian lovely to see you thank you very much thanks for coming now let's get started we've got some

29:15interesting items here on the table so the reds michelle and adele were shopping with richard and

29:21their first item is this really sweet victorian silver pin dish 1895 birmingham silver what do you

29:29think it's really pretty uh very ornate with a nice pierce decoration there a little bonbon dish and

29:35there's always a good market for silver in our auctions sounds good but what's your estimate well

29:40we've only put 10 to 15 pound on it okay well the reds spent 35 pounds on this um i think that's going to

29:47be difficult to achieve i have to be honest with you might be a little lost there more of a retail

29:51price i would have thought so yes now the second item is this quite quirky pair of decorative crown

29:58sculptures would you say that they're fashionable they are we we sell a lot of sort of garden and

30:03rustic furniture okay so what's your estimate uh we've put 30 to 40 on them i i do have a feeling

30:08that they might make a little bit more than that well that would be good because this is their big spend

30:13okay so 85 pounds they've spent on this yeah yeah you never know you never know i think it's going

30:19to be tough i think it's going to be tough to get that much okay well fingers crossed so moving on to

30:23the last item which is my challenge to buy something containing red and there's a set of these minikari

30:28persian enamo dishes they are predominantly blue but there is enough red in there to tick the challenge

30:35so they've been quite clever here what do you make of them uh they are they are quite nice and decorative um

30:41however uh there isn't a huge amount of quality to the pieces and they're quite light okay so what

30:48do you think they'll make at auction for the three we've only put 10 to 15 pounds on them right well

30:52they got the three of them for 20 pounds which sounds good but fingers crossed we need a bit more don't

30:58we yeah we could get there right okay so that is the red team's items now moving on to the blue

31:04we've got sarah and pete who are shopping with izzy and their first item is the challenge item to buy an item

31:10containing blue and we have ironically a red paperweight rabbit but with a blue pom-pom tail so

31:18again they've been creative haven't they i think someone's laughing at my challenges

31:23so what do you think of the rabbit i think it's quite sweet actually there's not much

31:26edge to it a little modern art class paperweight or desk weight whatever you want to call it what

31:31do you think it will make at auction we've put a guide price of 20 to 30 pound on the rabbit right

31:36well that's good they only spent nine pounds on it right so you can't really go wrong with it can you

31:41they will definitely make a profit on that fabulous now this second item is my favorite because i'm a

31:47cat lover it's this 20th century ceramic study of a seated cat it's looking very peaceful and serene

31:53don't you think it's a good size and it's got this nice sort of salad and glaze which is always

31:58popular um so yeah i think i should do all right as a decorative piece so what's your estimate for

32:03mr cat we've put 15 to 20 on the cart okay well it costs 25 pounds which i think is doable for a

32:09profit we're almost there okay the final item is a bit of blacksmith salvage in the form of this bench

32:15it's a really nice piece it's industrial but it would also fit into other interiors as well

32:20okay in terms of money how do you think it will do well again a difficult thing to value it's quite

32:25bespoke there's not many others around so we put 30 to 50 on it okay well this was the blues big spend

32:3175 pounds spent on it okay i i think we still have a chance though all right okay you're feeling

32:36hopeful yes okay we're time to head to the rostrum and best of luck thank you very much

36:12i quite like it actually it's got a very good contemporary look about it now what kind of

36:16estimate would you put on this well based on it um there'd be a normal maker's mark only 10 to 20.

36:21richard spent 16 pounds so that slides into the middle of your estimate so fingers crossed for a

36:26profit i think we have a chance the good news is the auctioneer likes it he also thought it was pottery

39:39Oh! But that surely has to be the easiest pound to pull back in.

39:44Come on, Izzy. Come on, Izzy. Come on, Izzy. You left Izzy £191 for her bonus buy. Yeah. Blues, close your eyes. Off you go, Izzy. Get your bonus buy.

39:55Izzy, over to you. Open your eyes. Ta-da! Oh, so good. So, it isn't marked as silver, so it's white metal, but I suspect it is silver, because it has a bit of give.

40:06And it's a Humpty Dumpty bookmark. How much was it? It paid £14. £14. And what do you think it might make, then?

40:12I would probably say 10 to 20 on a bad day, 20 to 30 on a good day. Go for it. Go for it.

40:18Are you going for it, Blues? Yes. Definitely. OK. The Blues are going with Izzy's bonus buy.

40:23But what does the auctioneer think of her little Humpty Dumpty?

40:25I think it's lovely. Very unusual item. Not sure if it's silver. We'll have to call it white metal. But it is quite pliable.

40:34OK. What's the estimate on him? We've put 20 to 30.

40:37Right. OK. Well, Izzy spent £14. I think she got a good buy there.

40:40I think that's a really good buy.

40:43Blues, the auctioneer, likes it. He's put an estimate of £20 to £30 on it.

40:48Ooh. As you said, Izzy, on a good day. Now, you only spent £14. So, fingers crossed, you claw back into profit.

40:55Brilliant. Brilliant. Good luck. It's coming up now. Thank you.

40:58For old Humpty, what's he worth? £30?

41:0120 to go, then. Is he worth 20? 20 is bid. At 20.

41:27Yay!

41:28Well, well done. So, Izzy, you bought that for 14.

41:32It's over 30, which is a nice £16 profit.

41:36Wonderful.

41:36Taking your minus one to...

41:38Plus 15.

41:40Yes, you're back on the right side of zero.

41:43Well done. Are you happy, Blues?

41:44Yeah.

41:47Reds. Blues. What an eclectic mix of buys. You're all going home with money.

41:57So, well done.

42:00But there's only one winner. And the winning team are the Reds.

42:04Yay!

42:06Well done.

42:07Well done, Reds. Well done. I'll come back to you.

42:11Now, how are you feeling, Blues?

42:12Oh, we had a great time. Yeah, we had a great time.

42:15Brilliant.

42:15Yeah.

42:15Good. Good. I can tell. You started off strong. You had a couple of good profits. You're up to £26.

42:21And then you lost 27, taking you down to minus one. But, bonus buys stepped in and took you back into the money at £15.

42:31So, who wants the £15?

42:32Me, please.

42:33Oh, didn't think twice there? Well done, Blues.

42:37Reds, coming on to you. Today's winners, finishing up with £26.

42:42Oh!

42:42So, there wasn't much in it. £11, folks. You started off in a negative. You clawed it back with your crown sculptures. And then you broke even again. But the bonus buy got you another £6, taking you to plus 26.

42:55Who wants all this money?

42:57I love the money.
