Short filmTranscript
00:00Hello and welcome to Bargain Hunt.
00:03Today's show comes from this huge antiques fair in Nottinghamshire.
00:07There's a variety of treasures spread across the stalls,
00:11including useful items crafted to make a real difference to people's lives.
00:16And that's especially relevant to today's show,
00:19which is all about celebrating carers,
00:22people who dedicate their lives to helping others.
00:26Later, we'll be finding out how a remarkable family firm
00:30uses traditional carpentry to make these standing frames
00:33that help rehabilitate people with spinal injuries
00:36and conditions like multiple sclerosis.
00:39More on that later, but first, let's go bargain hunting.
01:04On today's show, we're celebrating those who go above and beyond for others
01:09as our two teams of carers take on this bustling antiques fair in Newark.
01:14Now, both teams are given £300 and one hour in which to buy three items,
01:20one of which must always cost at least £75.
01:23And on top of that, they've got my shopping challenge.
01:28Whoever makes the biggest profit or smallest loss at auction wins.
01:32Right, that's the rules. Let's meet today's teams.
01:36I'm Keely. And I'm Sarah. And yes, you're seen double.
01:41Ah, twins. I won't ask how you met.
01:44We met each other in the womb. Yeah, she kicked me out first.
01:48So, Keely's the oldest, but who takes the lead?
01:51I'd say we both do. Yeah.
01:54No, she does. I don't think I do.
01:57That little could cause an argument, that.
01:59See?
01:59What's the game plan, then, ladies?
02:01To beat the blue team. Absolutely.
02:03Yeah.
02:03Shall we see who you're up against?
02:06I'm Mandy. I'm Jo.
02:07We work hard. Play hard.
02:09And we're here to win.
02:10I like your style.
02:12So, what are your rules today?
02:13Well, I'm pretty organised. Probably, they would say, bossy.
02:17And I'm chaos.
02:19Uh-oh. What are you looking for?
02:21Vintage jewellery, clothes, and probably sports memorabilia.
02:26Will you listen to your expert?
02:27I'm going to have to. I wouldn't have a choice.
02:31Right-o, let's get this show on the road.
02:35Hello, team.
02:36Hello.
02:37It's lovely to be here with you.
02:39It's a privilege because we've got two teams of carers.
02:42Yeah.
02:42So, Kayleigh, tell me who you're caring for.
02:45I care for my son and my daughter, Ethan and Evie,
02:48who suffer with autistic and ADHD.
02:50Yep. Sarah?
02:51And I care for my son, Lewis, who has ADHD and autistic as well.
02:55And that takes quite a bit of your time.
02:57Yes, it does, yeah.
02:58Quite challenging.
02:59Yeah.
02:59Also rewarding at the same time.
03:01But you're up for the challenge, aren't you?
03:02Oh, yes.
03:03That's why you're here.
03:03Oh, yes.
03:05So, in the blue team, Mandy and Jo.
03:06Yeah.
03:07Who is it that you're caring for?
03:09So, it's Tommy, my son.
03:10He's 21.
03:11He's got a rare chromosome disorder.
03:12So, there's a slight piece of chromosome 7 he's missing from his genes.
03:17Very similar to somebody with cerebral palsy.
03:19He's non-verbal, but he can certainly let you know what he wants.
03:23Yes.
03:23And he's very mischievous, strong, resilient.
03:26So, Mandy, you're back-up, are you?
03:28I am, yeah.
03:29I go last-minute when the carers can't make it.
03:31Right.
03:32I'm like the emergency cover.
03:33When he's in hospital, I help out and things.
03:35Yeah.
03:35He's great company.
03:37Lovely smile.
03:38I love being with him.
03:39Excellent.
03:39Well, it's all about you today, ladies.
03:41But what I need to know is, are you ready to go bargain on, team?
03:45Yes!
03:45Excellent.
03:46Well, to get things moving, red team, there's your £300.
03:50Blue team, there is your £300.
03:53I've also got your shopping challenge, there you go.
03:57And your experts are here.
04:00Yes.
04:00OK, so off you go and good luck.
04:03OK.
04:05So, two pairs of fantastic teens,
04:08but I wonder what they're hoping for from their experts.
04:12Someone who's energetic.
04:14Someone who likes unusual things.
04:17And somebody that is fun.
04:19Someone with a good eye for a bargain.
04:20Somebody that is brainy.
04:22Hello, hello, hello.
04:25For the Reds, it's Nick Hall.
04:27Hello, hello.
04:29And for the Blues, it's Izzy Barmer.
04:32Time to reveal my challenges.
04:34Something that comes as a matching pair.
04:36Oh, it couldn't be more perfect, could it?
04:39Well, we've already won.
04:40I've got you two.
04:42An item with a sporting connection.
04:45Oh, that's brilliant for you.
04:46Focus, teams.
04:48Your time starts now.
04:50We're on the clock.
04:51Shall we get shopping?
04:51Yes, I'm freezing.
04:52Let's go.
04:53Well, we're off, ladies.
04:54Let's get shopping.
04:56Come on.
04:57Off they go.
04:58And something shiny has already caught Mandy's eye.
05:02Yeah, I like that.
05:03Tiffany Silver Ladle, but it is £95.
05:06I just thought that I like the lines on that.
05:10It's like a little toddy ladle, isn't it?
05:12So has it got a Tiffany stamp on it?
05:14This one?
05:14Oh, yeah.
05:15Tiffany & Co.
05:17What, is that going to make a profit?
05:19It's a good name.
05:20It's a bit different.
05:21I love that it's sort of got this...
05:22You see this sort of shape.
05:23It's called repoussé when they push the metal in.
05:26Yeah.
05:26And it's quite a sort of antique look, isn't it?
05:28But the ladle itself is a 20th century ladle, so it's modern meets old.
05:32Well, that's what I liked about it.
05:33I like about it.
05:34I think it's like a corrugated look and the design is quite modern.
05:38Yeah.
05:38Can I have a little look and see?
05:40Sure.
05:41Oh, there's a bit more weight in there than I was expecting, actually.
05:44I thought it looked quite lightweight, but it's got a bit of a heft to it.
05:48It's got a good gauge to the silver there.
05:50You've probably got about £45, £50 worth of silver at auction.
05:55But the name, the Tiffany name, that's worth more than the silver value.
06:00So I reckon if you could get it for £75, that takes the big spend.
06:03I'll go ask the dealer, shall I?
06:05OK.
06:05Yeah.
06:06Good luck.
06:07Yes, work your magic, Mandy.
06:09The reds are also being seduced by silver.
06:12But do these meet my challenge?
06:15No matching.
06:15Strictly speaking, they're not actually a pair because the sparks are different shapes, aren't they?
06:20Yeah.
06:20So I think chocolate, is that a chocolate pot?
06:23Yes.
06:23So yeah, it's a chocolate pot and then that's your hot milk.
06:27Yeah, and pour your hot milk into that.
06:29They're lovely, aren't they?
06:29Yeah, they are nice.
06:30Are they silver or silver plated?
06:32Silver plated.
06:32They're silver plated.
06:33And how much are they?
06:35£50.
06:35£50 for the pair.
06:38What are your thoughts?
06:39Do you like them?
06:40I do like these.
06:41Oh, they're quite heavy.
06:42Yeah.
06:43Well, it's silver plate, so it's a heavy base metal with a very thin layer of silvering over
06:49the top.
06:50Just have a look at the mark.
06:51There we go.
06:52Now, sometimes it's quite hard to read these marks.
06:55There's a little trick here.
06:56If you just...
06:58You see how it...
06:59Oh, yeah.
07:00I'd never have known that.
07:01But Keuken and Heath, great makers.
07:03Good name.
07:04They're just nice things, really.
07:06Decorative.
07:06I know it's early in the shop, but we could maybe back burner these.
07:10Yeah?
07:10And have a little thing as we wander around.
07:12You can always come back.
07:13They'll be...
07:13Hopefully still be here.
07:14Yeah.
07:14Don't send them to the blue team.
07:17Nice, but they're not a matching pair, Reds.
07:20Now, did the dealer agree to £75 on that £95 Tiffany Ladle?
07:26He said yes.
07:27He said yes.
07:28There we go, then.
07:29Are we thinking we want to go for it?
07:31Do you want to go for it?
07:32I think so.
07:32What do you think, though?
07:33You're the expert.
07:34The big spend's always a bit of a gamble.
07:36It is always the hard one.
07:37But I like it.
07:39And we're not...
07:40We don't have to spend too much of the budget.
07:42And we said a spoon.
07:43Do we agree?
07:44Yes.
07:44We agree.
07:45We agree.
07:46Fantastic.
07:47Going to go and seal the deal.
07:48Yeah?
07:48A speedy start, ladies.
07:50At £75, the sterling, silver, Tiffany and co ladle is your opening buy.
07:55And your big spend.
07:56So what's next?
07:57Eric's challenge or curveball?
08:00Eric's challenge, maybe.
08:02I'd like to run around, though, and see, like...
08:04Yeah.
08:04Let's go.
08:05Let's go.
08:06I love setting challenges that give teams the runaround.
08:10That's certainly true with this sporting challenge.
08:12I'm glad to see the Reds are also focusing on theirs.
08:17Now, here's a pair of things with an interesting story as well.
08:22Do you know what they are?
08:24I've bought a bar.
08:25They are vases.
08:26It won't be real gold.
08:28They're not gold, no.
08:29They'll be made of brass.
08:30Brass.
08:30They're actually made from shells, all the empty shells scattered around the trenches and
08:35the place of warfare.
08:37These would have been gathered up and decorated into ornaments to be sold on.
08:42And they're called trench art because they were mostly found in the trenches in the war.
08:47If you look underneath, it's got all the information and the number from the cannon it would have been shot
08:55from.
08:56Hold one of them.
08:57They're quite heavy.
08:58I was about to say February.
08:59Oh, they're heavy.
09:00Very heavy.
09:00Oh, they're really heavy.
09:01Yeah.
09:01And look at this one.
09:02Look at all the information here as well.
09:03That'll be EB.
09:04Oh, it's got more information on it.
09:06But they're a pair.
09:06They've got an interesting back story.
09:08Are they sort up the piece, though?
09:09People collect specifically trench art.
09:12So, interesting object, interesting back stories.
09:15Are you interested enough for me to grab hold of the dealer and get a price?
09:18Yeah, definitely.
09:19You think so?
09:19Yes.
09:19OK, let's see if we can find...
09:21Hello there.
09:22Hello.
09:23Interested in your trench art vases.
09:26Yep.
09:26How much are they?
09:28We had 75 on them, but the best we could probably do is 50.
09:32Could we get it down to 40-something at a push?
09:3545.
09:36It's probably the lowest we can go.
09:37So, £45 for the pair.
09:40Now, I've seen them make that each.
09:42Mm-hmm.
09:43What are you thinking?
09:44I'll go for it.
09:45Yeah, go for it.
09:46These sisters don't mess about.
09:48At £45, this pair of brass trench art vases tick off my challenge.
09:53And guess what?
09:54You're up and running, Reds.
09:55Amazing.
09:56Well done, team.
09:57What a pair.
09:58Let's go and shop some more.
09:59Well done.
10:0015 minutes gone and both teams are flying.
10:03How's that sporting search going, Blues?
10:06What about then?
10:07That one, maybe.
10:09Or this, because this is...
10:10That's lacrosse.
10:13I just like old wooden things.
10:14Do you?
10:15I mean, it's only £18 and it's sports.
10:17Made in England, which is nice.
10:20Why do you like wooden items?
10:22Just everybody that's touched them and the texture.
10:25I love that.
10:26But I don't know.
10:27I suppose it comes down to who's going to want it and how much are they prepared to pay for
10:31it.
10:31So I don't think someone's going to buy this to play with it.
10:34So then it's probably a decorative piece.
10:36I know that people use these to decorate with, don't they?
10:40Yeah.
10:40And they look quite nice on a wall.
10:41Exactly.
10:42So we can find a best price.
10:43Excuse me.
10:44Can I ask you what you could do this for?
10:46I will do you that for £15, best price.
10:49Yeah.
10:50The more we look at it and the more we talk about it, the more it's growing on me.
10:53It's quite charming.
10:54I'm just worried we don't get sports memorabilia.
10:56Yeah, and then we fail our challenge.
10:58What do we do offer him?
10:59He might say, no, we don't want to offend him, but maybe £14.
11:02Excuse me, would you take £14 and do a deal now?
11:05Go on then.
11:06I appreciate that.
11:08Thank you so much.
11:09Wow.
11:09Two items seen and two items bought.
11:12At £14, this vintage wooden lacrosse stick completes my sporting challenge.
11:17Both challenges are now completed.
11:19We can relax a bit.
11:20Yes, too there.
11:20Yeah, that's nice.
11:21Don't relax too soon.
11:23We're approaching the halfway mark.
11:25Could this carve out buy number two for the Reds?
11:28That's the type of stuff I like.
11:30OK, talk me through it.
11:32What is it that you like about that and why?
11:34Quirky.
11:35Yeah, definitely.
11:36Box ticked, quirky.
11:37Don't you see a lot of them?
11:39No, that's probably not a bad thing.
11:41Don't you like them?
11:44I'd have them in my garden.
11:46Yeah, as a bit of fun in the garden, definitely.
11:48As an object in the home, I might not be as keen as you.
11:53I'm not having them in the home.
11:55But hey, look, it's horses for courses.
11:57And there might be other people at auction that love these things as well.
12:00So, you know, I don't dismiss anything.
12:02And you're thinking, absolutely not.
12:04She doesn't like them.
12:05It looks grumpy.
12:06OK.
12:08Well, he's been sat there all day, hasn't he?
12:10No one's buying me.
12:12So, the serious-looking sculpture is a no.
12:15Could the blues be about to sail away with this?
12:18What about this?
12:20What about that?
12:20I don't want to ping it because it makes a noise.
12:22Oh, that's fun.
12:23For a ship, isn't it?
12:24Yeah.
12:24So, full, half, slow, it's a different speed.
12:27I mean, iconic piece, really, isn't it?
12:29It's nice to look at.
12:30Does it ding?
12:34Oh, that made me jump.
12:36Made me jump.
12:37I think that's really cool.
12:38I have a horrible feeling we might not be able to afford it,
12:41but shall we ask?
12:42May as well.
12:42Might be our lucky day.
12:44Set a course to find the dealer, then.
12:46He said if we can lift it and run to the back wall and back
12:49in less than 20 seconds, we can have it for 100 quid.
12:52Which is the back wall?
12:54All the way up there.
12:55I couldn't run without it in 20 seconds there and back.
12:58Exactly, because it should be 1,500.
13:00Oh, there you go, then.
13:01I was about to be like, come on, ladies.
13:03I was as well.
13:05Never mind.
13:06OK, we best move on.
13:08Oh, well.
13:09Oh, dear.
13:09This one's run aground.
13:12Have the red struck gold.
13:14What about things like these Middle Eastern coffee tables?
13:18These are popular auction these days.
13:20Do you like that sort of thing?
13:24You don't, dear.
13:25Hey.
13:27Oh, that's all your peels off.
13:29So a lot of these were used by nomadic tribes in the deserts.
13:34So you'd be on your camels or your horseback and you'd stop and you'd pitch up tents.
13:39And then when you were packing up to leave, you'd take that off, you'd fold that up,
13:45pack it away in your saddlebags and off you go.
13:48Oh.
13:49And then when you arrive and you set up with your next camp, away you go, you've got the table
13:56ready to go.
13:57Oh, brilliant.
13:58Nice bit of history.
13:59And people do collect these.
14:00How much are you asking for it?
14:01I could do a straight one-up.
14:03I think auction estimate's going to be 60 to 80.
14:05It might make 90 on a good day.
14:07So, you know, it depends really where you could be with it.
14:10Yeah, there's not really much margin in it, too.
14:12No.
14:12I'll be down on me cost price if we carry on.
14:15So you don't want to say it to us for less than you paid for it?
14:18Ideally not.
14:20What are your thoughts?
14:21Shall we think about it?
14:22Yeah, fair do.
14:23We'll have a think.
14:24We'll come back.
14:25Thank you very much.
14:27Just a bit too pricey for the Reds.
14:29Now, what could be in this box?
14:32They're magic lantern slides.
14:34So, essentially, you'd have your magic lantern, which is an early projector, and then you'd swap these slides in.
14:40Magic lanterns were the Victorians' answer to the cinema, hand-painted or photograph-class images projected with light to entertain
14:48audiences long before film.
14:50It's £150.
14:51What do you think at auction?
14:53I think that's a lot of money at £150.
14:55It depends what the slides display.
14:58If they're, you know, churches and things like that, that's quite an unpopular scene.
15:04You can get ones that are coloured ones.
15:07These ones look like they're all black and white ones, don't they?
15:09Yeah.
15:10They're really interesting as a sort of log of rooms and furniture and items in various places.
15:17But, I mean, even with a discount, I don't think we'll make money on that.
15:22OK, let's carry on.
15:23Sound of advice, is he?
15:24Now, is it time for a bedtime story, Nick?
15:27Do you know where the word teddy bear comes from?
15:30No.
15:31So, there was an American president called Teddy Roosevelt and he was taken hunting and so he could get a
15:38shot, they tied a bear cub to a true so he couldn't miss and he said, no, I'm not shooting
15:44that poor little thing.
15:45The papers got to hear about it.
15:47They drew cartoons about Teddy's bear.
15:49Teddy bear.
15:50The word teddy bear was born.
15:51I mean, if you wanted a safer buy, some of the smaller ones will have smaller price tickets
15:56on them.
15:56This chappy here, for instance.
15:58What I like about him is he is mimicking exactly how the early bears look.
16:04So, they've got much longer curved arms, these really pronounced snouts and what they call a humpback.
16:11That's a sign of an early teddy bear.
16:13So, he's a modern version of a very early stifed bear.
16:17He's got the ticket in the ear.
16:19Collectors love to see the ticket.
16:20Yeah.
16:21And importantly, the button.
16:22He's got this medallion.
16:23I don't know if it's because he's a winning red team bear.
16:25I don't know.
16:26But he's 58 quid.
16:28I think that is probably a decent buy.
16:31I do like this one.
16:32Just cute.
16:33Who's the haggler out of you two?
16:35Sarah.
16:35Are you?
16:36You the haggler?
16:37Shall we see if we can find the dealer and do your magic?
16:39Hi.
16:40Hiya.
16:41You've got him up as 58.
16:43What's the best you can do for us, please?
16:45I can do 50 on that one.
16:4750?
16:47Would you do 40, please?
16:50I can't go as low as 40.
16:5245 would have been the absolute death on it.
16:5643.
16:5844 is the godly favours.
17:0144?
17:01Yeah.
17:02Yeah, you happy with that?
17:03Yeah.
17:04If you ladies are happy, I'm happy.
17:06I'm happy with that.
17:06Great negotiating, Sarah.
17:08At 44 pound, this red ribbon-wearing stive bear is your second buy.
17:13Well, look, that's amazing.
17:14Two down, one to buy.
17:16He's coming with me.
17:17So are you two.
17:18Come on.
17:19Into the final 15 minutes, and Joe spies some unusual pottery.
17:24Oh, I like these.
17:25Oh, yeah.
17:26I love the colour.
17:27Yeah.
17:28Nice.
17:28What's it say?
17:30Free from vices, free from care.
17:32Age has no pain.
17:35And youth.
17:36No snare.
17:37That's all.
17:381815.
17:38Snare and that's...
17:39Age and you.
17:40I'll tell you what that is in the moment.
17:42And care.
17:42And what does it say on this one?
17:44I really like these.
17:45Izzy.
17:46Words are easy like the wind.
17:48Faithful friends are hard to find.
17:511766.
17:52Are we just buying as we like?
17:55How much is it?
17:56Ooh, 110.
17:57110 each.
17:59So if we were to buy the pear, what price would you do for those?
18:02I would do the pear for the price of one.
18:06Half price.
18:06It's what we'd call motto-wear.
18:08Motto-wear is pottery decorated with short sayings or rhymes, hugely popular in the Victorian
18:14era, with makers like Exeter Art Pottery producing pieces adorned with sentimental messages.
18:20I think it's quite a niche market, the Exeter Art Pottery market.
18:23It's not a big collector's market.
18:26I just think it's a bit risky at £100.
18:29OK.
18:30For you.
18:31But it's up to you.
18:32What about one?
18:33How much is one?
18:34I'd do 50 for one, if you want to do 50.
18:3750 for one?
18:38And what do you think about that?
18:39Do you think that's a good...
18:40I think that's probably better than getting two.
18:44I would like...
18:45What do you like about them?
18:46The taller one.
18:47Just that they're different.
18:48Ah.
18:49And I quite like the saying on that one.
18:51And that links in with you being a carer as well.
18:54Yes.
18:54Yeah.
18:55Shall we be with it?
18:56Are we buying with the heart, though?
18:58Well...
18:58I think we should walk away.
19:00OK.
19:00And come back.
19:01OK.
19:01Because I think, yes, that's fine if you want them, but you've been very good at thinking
19:06things through the whole shop.
19:08The jog goes on the back burner for now.
19:11Are the reds about to go global?
19:14You like that?
19:15You definitely like that.
19:15I like that.
19:16Yeah.
19:16I do like this.
19:17Smart, isn't it?
19:17It's nice having the stand with it as well.
19:20Yeah.
19:21I mean, it's a reproduction.
19:22It's a copy of a George III design and style, but it is stylish, isn't it?
19:26Yeah.
19:27I like it.
19:29I like it.
19:29It'll be quite well in auction.
19:31Oh, people love globes.
19:32People collect globes.
19:33And they don't always have the budget to buy the original Georgian, Victorian ones.
19:37So a nice-looking replica that's more affordable can get a lot of attention.
19:42Can you get a price on it?
19:43Yeah, shall we get a price, yeah?
19:45Hiya.
19:45Hiya.
19:46You all right?
19:46How much is your globes, please?
19:49I could do it for £120.
19:51£120.
19:52I mean, could it be under £100?
19:54I'd do it for £85.
19:56So what about £84?
19:57Just to help us out.
19:58If it made a pound, it could make all the difference to us.
20:01I'd do it for £80.
20:02To £80?
20:03Hmm.
20:04Oh, it's amazing coming back.
20:06At £80, we're going, going.
20:09Sold.
20:12Well done, team.
20:13At £80, this classic revolving globe with a wooden tripod stand is your big spend.
20:18And you're done.
20:21That's it.
20:21Amazing.
20:22Well done.
20:23Ladies, you've rocked my world.
20:24We bought a globe.
20:25All items are done.
20:27And the twins are on top.
20:28Yay!
20:28Well done.
20:29Yes, good work, folks.
20:31Meanwhile, the blues are back at the Mottaware Pottery.
20:34The best price was £50 on the jug.
20:37We didn't get very far.
20:39That's OK.
20:39Not a problem.
20:40Would there be any more movement on it?
20:41Because I love it.
20:42But I'm being told it's too expensive.
20:45So I'll do another £5.
20:46I'll go £45.
20:47£45?
20:48Yeah.
20:49£40?
20:50Please.
20:51Please.
20:52You've got to make a profit.
20:52Come on.
20:54Go on.
20:54Yay!
20:55Done.
20:56Well done.
20:56You're pushing your luck, Mandy.
20:58But it was worth it.
20:59At £40, this Exeter art pottery jug, decorated with a care-themed inscription, is your final buy.
21:06Quit swanning around, teams.
21:08Shopping's done.
21:09Shall we go and get a cup of tea?
21:10Oh, yeah, definitely.
21:12Come on, let's go.
21:13Let's remind ourselves what the red team bought.
21:17They kicked off their shop by completing my matching pair challenge, with these brass trench art barsers, £45 paid.
21:26Next, at £44, they picked up this modern-style teddy bear.
21:31And at £80, they spent big on this rotating globe on a wooden stand.
21:37Well, ladies, today was all about you two.
21:40We're hoping that you've had an enjoyable day.
21:43Amazing day.
21:44Has it?
21:45Absolutely.
21:46So, Nick, how were they?
21:47Very decisive.
21:48They know exactly what they did want and exactly what they didn't want to buy.
21:51Brilliant.
21:52OK, excellent.
21:53Kayleigh, of the three, which is your favourite buy?
21:56The Stife Teddy Bear.
21:57Oh, lovely.
21:57Yeah, everybody loves a teddy.
21:59Cute.
22:00And of the three, which do you think is going to give you the biggest profit?
22:03The Stife Teddy Bear.
22:04OK.
22:05Sarah?
22:05Yes?
22:06Your favourite, please.
22:07The Globe.
22:08That was your big spend.
22:09Yeah, that was.
22:10Yeah, OK.
22:11Which of the three do you think is going to give you the biggest profit?
22:15The trench art.
22:16How much did you spend, ladies?
22:18£169.
22:19So, that means you've got £131 to give to Nick, yes?
22:22Yeah.
22:23There you go.
22:24All right.
22:25That's a tidy sum, Nick.
22:26That's not bad at all.
22:27And there's still one or two stalls left, so I'm going to scoot off and get something really good for
22:31these two.
22:31So, while Nick goes off to find that bonus buy, let's remind ourselves what the blue team bought.
22:44Ladies, it was important for us to know that you had a good time there.
23:03Yes, absolutely.
23:04Yes, absolutely.
23:04It was fun, wasn't it?
23:05We've had a fab time, yeah.
23:06You did?
23:07Yeah.
23:07Izzy, what have you got to say?
23:09Teamwork makes the dream work.
23:11You two just complimented each other so well.
23:14That's nice.
23:14That's shocking, actually.
23:16Thanks for coming.
23:16It was lovely.
23:18Okay.
23:19Jo, what was your favourite item?
23:21It was the motto where.
23:22Right.
23:23Okay.
23:23And of the three, which is going to give you the biggest profit?
23:27I think the Tiffany Spoon.
23:30Well, it's a big name, and that was your big spend, yes?
23:32Yes, it was, yes.
23:33OK.
23:34Amanda, your favourite item?
23:35It was the motto wear.
23:37OK.
23:37And which do you think is going to give you the biggest profit?
23:40The Tiffany Spoon.
23:42Oh, right.
23:42So a case of great minds think alike.
23:45Yeah.
23:45OK.
23:45How much did you spend, ladies?
23:47£129.
23:48So that means you've got £171 to give to Izzy.
23:51I have, yeah.
23:52OK.
23:54Izzy, anything in particular that's caught your eye?
23:57You two have worked so well as a pair.
23:58I might try and see if I can get that pair yet.
24:01While Izzy goes in search of the bonus pie,
24:03Charlie discovered how traditional craftsmanship could play a crucial role
24:08when it came to caring for others.
24:14From prosthetic limbs created by the Egyptians
24:17to the development of the wheelchair,
24:19groundbreaking inventions have not only improved the lives of people,
24:23with injuries and disabilities, but enabled some to break records.
24:29And one medical marvel was created here, just outside Oswestry,
24:33by carpenters who were more used to making wheels and furniture.
24:38I'm meeting managing director, Aenean Davies, to find out more.
24:43So, Aenean, what part do you play in this story?
24:45I'm the company owner at the moment now.
24:48Yeah.
24:48I took her over five years ago from my father, Theo Davies.
24:51Yeah.
24:51He started as a wheelwright originally, and as the wheelwright industry diminished,
24:58he went into the furniture, so he was making table chairs, Welsh dresses, grandfather clocks.
25:04It was back in 1971, consultants from the hospital in Oswestry,
25:09they wanted a frame for people with spinal injuries to stand.
25:13Right.
25:14Because they'd be sitting down or lying on their backs,
25:16it was a part of the rehabilitation to get them to stand again.
25:20And he came to your dad, why did he come to your dad?
25:22Because he was a craftsman in wood, speciality in timber as well.
25:25So, my father just went and used his skills to design it.
25:29The consultant knew what he wanted.
25:31Yeah.
25:31And obviously my father understood what he could make as well.
25:33It seems to me that wood, obviously, is quite a heavy material.
25:37They not think of using aluminium or something like that.
25:41Wood, it's more of a piece of furniture.
25:43Ah.
25:43Because they're going to be using it at home.
25:45They wanted to make it look as homely as it possibly can.
25:49So, Anion's father, Theo, put his trusted tools to work,
25:53and with the help of his team of carpenters,
25:55he produced the first standing frame in 1971.
25:59So, was this a success?
26:01Yes, a huge success, yeah.
26:03Once they did the first one, instantly they ordered another two.
26:06But then the word of mouth got around to different spinal injuries,
26:10you know, stuck mandible and other pieces as well.
26:12Yeah, stuck mandible and little, right?
26:12Yeah.
26:13What a great, great story.
26:15Since then, the frame has been developed and refined,
26:19but very similar to the original one made by Theo more than 50 years ago.
26:24I don't suppose your father could have envisaged when he made the first one
26:27that it would go on to his children and your children?
26:30Yes.
26:31Over the 50 years, we estimate we've done about 20,000 of them.
26:35Gosh.
26:35So, tools of the trade, of course, you've got here, and these were your father's?
26:40They are my father's, yes.
26:41And do you still use these today?
26:43We don't, no.
26:44No?
26:44No, it's, we use the metal version now, and also there's also machinery as well.
26:49Enion's going to show me how it's done.
26:52We get the timber, kiln-dried.
26:54We use steamed beech.
26:55Yeah.
26:56We select it, and we plane it all around, then we obviously machine the joints.
27:00And all the sawdust created is put to good use.
27:03It's poured into a briquette machine and turned into sustainable fuel pellets.
27:09Production then moves upstairs.
27:11Then once the components are manufactured, they're all assembled and they're all sanded
27:16by hand and assembled by hand as well.
27:18Yeah.
27:18And once we've done all that, then it gets a coat of a lacquer, you know, so you can clean
27:22the wood.
27:24So we've got the completed frame here.
27:26Can you talk me through all the elements of it?
27:28So from the bottom, you've got the heel strap that supports the heel and the foot from sliding
27:33backwards.
27:34Yes.
27:34And then you've got the knee support unit, which is the blue form on the middle there.
27:39That supports the knees.
27:40Yes.
27:40And then we've got the top leather strap, which supports around the back, from falling backwards.
27:45Fantastic.
27:46They're beautifully finished.
27:48They're so tactile.
27:49It's a really lovely piece of furniture, in my opinion.
27:52And of course, it helps so many people, doesn't it?
27:54And you've helped so many people.
27:56We help people with spinal injuries, people with MS, stroke, people that suffer with a
28:00brain injury.
28:01Fantastic.
28:02And Ian, thank you so much.
28:03It's a wonderful family story.
28:10Now it's time for the auction, and today's sale is in Derbyshire.
28:14And I'm joined by Mr. Hanson himself, Mr. Charles Hanson.
28:19Mr. Eric Knowles, welcome.
28:20Thank you very much.
28:22Well, both our red team and the blue team just happen to be carers, and we're celebrating
28:28carers.
28:28Let's start with our red team.
28:30Yes.
28:31Their first item was my personal challenge, something that comes in a matching pair.
28:35And they've come back with these sort of trench art pieces.
28:39Eric, they are just really ornamental.
28:41They really capture an age in manner of the 1920s, 30s.
28:48They've got that lovely trench art feel about them.
28:51And so, your estimate?
28:52Eric, on them, between £30 and £50.
28:55They paid £45.
28:56Yeah, that's OK.
28:57I think they're spot on for a good pair.
28:59OK.
28:59Well, their second purchase was the bear.
29:02Eric, I mean, that name is rich in stife.
29:05It's got a lovely face.
29:07It's got the long limbs, that lovely nosy snout.
29:10What's the estimate, sir?
29:12Between £30 and £40.
29:14£44 paid.
29:15Good.
29:15I think that'll do well.
29:16OK.
29:16Item number three is the Globe.
29:19It's Regents in style.
29:21It's got a great look.
29:22OK.
29:23And I think in today's market, that interior decorators market would like that.
29:28But where is your estimate?
29:29My guide price is between £30 and £40.
29:32They paid £80 for it.
29:34OK.
29:35Moving to the blue team, and their first item was their big spend.
29:39Yes.
29:39And it is the Tiffany & Co. Little Nadal.
29:42It's Eric.
29:43It's a lovely object.
29:44It's Tiffany.
29:45The old English pattern to it.
29:47Nice object.
29:48Your estimate, sir?
29:50Eric, between £50 and £80.
29:52OK.
29:52£75 paid.
29:53So, top end.
29:54Yes.
29:55I think it has legs to really stir.
29:57OK.
29:57So, their second purchase was my personal challenge to find an item with a sporting connection.
30:04Lacrosse.
30:04It's got some age to it.
30:06How old is it?
30:07I would have thought probably mid-century.
30:10Your estimate, sir?
30:11Eric, between £20 and £30.
30:12OK.
30:13£14 paid.
30:14Really?
30:14Yeah.
30:15Bargain.
30:15Our third and final item is the ceramic.
30:18It's the pot with the graffiti decoration.
30:22I love the colour.
30:23I think it's vibrant, but a folky feel about it.
30:26Yeah.
30:26OK.
30:27Estimate?
30:28Between £30 and £50.
30:29OK.
30:29Well, £40 paid.
30:30Fine.
30:31Is it red or is it blue?
30:32Where is your money going?
30:33Eric, it's a difficult one to call this one.
30:35I'm edging towards blue.
30:38Are you going to be taking the auction?
30:39Eric, I'm looking forward to taking the auction.
30:40There's a really interesting mix of items.
30:43Good luck, sir.
30:44Where is that, this lot?
30:4618, 20.
30:47£25, £30, £35, £40.
30:49So.
30:50So, Joe and Mandy, how are we?
30:53Nervous.
30:54Yeah?
30:55Yeah.
30:55That's normal.
30:56That's quite normal.
30:57Izzy, you're Miss Positivity, aren't you?
31:00Always.
31:01And you two have been such a dream.
31:02You've sort of complemented each other so well.
31:04So, I don't know.
31:06I just feel like we're all in this together.
31:08Well, your first item's coming up.
31:10It's your big spend.
31:11The Tiffany & Co selling silver toddy.
31:13Is there a profit to be had?
31:15I love this.
31:16That's how I'm winning.
31:17Me thinks yes, so let's see.
31:19Good night.
31:19Because it's coming up now.
31:20Where do we start it off?
31:21I'm only bid...
31:23£65, £75, £80, £90.
31:26Oh!
31:28Bingo!
31:28£95, £100, £110, madam.
31:31£110, I'm bid.
31:32£115, £120, £125, £130, £130, I'm bid.
31:36I can't believe it.
31:37Done at £130.
31:38£130, sold!
31:40Yay!
31:40Thank you!
31:42Good start.
31:43You paid £75, £130.
31:45You just made yourself £55 worth of profit.
31:49Yay!
31:49OK, that's the first one down.
31:51The second item was my personal challenge,
31:53an item with a sporting connection.
31:55Lacrosse.
31:55This was hard.
31:56I've never played lacrosse.
31:58Have you?
31:59Not that old.
32:00No.
32:00Oh, you don't have to be old to play lacrosse, for goodness.
32:03Whatever.
32:03Anyway, it's coming up now.
32:05Where do we start this?
32:07Unbid nothing.
32:09Oh, man!
32:11Come on, 20 I'll take.
32:1320 unbid, come on!
32:15Oh, yeah, we got it.
32:16We're in a profit.
32:1720 unbid, I'll take 22.
32:2022 down there, I'll take 25 now.
32:23We sell at £22.
32:26So...
32:26Hallelujah!
32:27Do you know this is still a profit?
32:29It's getting better.
32:30It's all for 22.
32:31You've just made £8 profit.
32:33Yay!
32:33You were at £55, you're now at £63, OK?
32:37That's good.
32:37More importantly than that, you've got two profits on the go, OK?
32:41Three profits and you know where you are.
32:43Yeah.
32:44You're in bargain on heaven, OK?
32:46Because we're talking golden gavels.
32:48Yay!
32:48So the next item is your Exeter Pottery 200 Motto jug.
32:53This was yours.
32:53Yeah?
32:54It's a nice thing.
32:55Showing for you there, a delightful twin-handled drinking vessel.
33:00Where do we start this?
33:02I've got bids across the nation.
33:04And I can start at £22.
33:07£25, £28, £30, I'm bids.
33:09I'll take five now.
33:11£25, £40, I'm bids.
33:13One more, one more, one more.
33:15£45 online.
33:16I'm going at £45.
33:19Sold.
33:19Yay!
33:20Wow!
33:22Now listen, vote for £40,
33:24So for £45, I've made a £5 profit and that takes your running total from £63 to £68, OK?
33:29But more importantly, ladies, you have attained the highest accolade.
33:34You have attained the golden gavel.
33:36Hallelujah!
33:37You have.
33:38So, we've now got the bonus buy.
33:41And if the bonus buy also makes a profit, then Izzy is the recipient of a golden gavel.
33:47OK, now this is why I want you to close your eyes.
33:50Close your eyes, OK, both of you.
33:52Izzy, would you like to go off?
33:54Blue team, open your eyes.
33:56We were looking for a pair.
33:58So I've got a pair.
33:59And they're blue, lovely ombre blue.
34:01Late Victorian silver tops posy vases.
34:04I like them.
34:05Do you?
34:06Yeah.
34:06And they're in pretty good condition.
34:08There's not really any nibbles.
34:10How much did you pay for them?
34:11OK, well, I paid £35.
34:13And what do you think they'll make?
34:15If I was an auctioneer, my estimate would be £25 to £40.
34:18So I'd say on what I've paid, there's a small chance of a profit.
34:20So blue team, are you going to go with Izzy's bonus buy?
34:24Are you feeling lucky?
34:26Yeah.
34:26Yeah.
34:26Yeah?
34:27So the blues are going to go with Izzy's bonus buy.
34:30Let's find out what Charles had to say about them.
34:33Eric, I think they're charming.
34:34I love the fact they're a two-tone glass with this blue.
34:38They are Birmingham 1898.
34:40I think their shape is quite unusual for a nice single flower
34:44in that almost Oscar Wilde style.
34:47Are you an estimate?
34:48Between £20 and £40.
34:49Is he paid £35 for them?
34:52They're really nice.
34:53They are nice.
34:54So Charles' estimate, £20 to £40.
34:57It's coming up now.
34:58There they are.
34:59Lovely pair of Victorian silver,
35:00mounted pale blue, cut glass posy vases.
35:03We've got a few bids on these.
35:05And I can start them with me at £25.35.
35:11£45.50.
35:13Yes!
35:13Yeah!
35:15£5.65 and £70.
35:18£5.85.
35:20£85.95.
35:23£95.
35:24My top bid's £100.
35:25Take me out £105.
35:27£85.
35:28Yay!
35:29Thank you!
35:30They're your vases.
35:31Congratulations.
35:32Sold!
35:32OK.

35:36Come on, guys.
35:37Come on, guys.
35:37You can't have too much of a good thing.
35:39So that's all for a staggering £105.
35:43That gave you a £70 profit.
35:46That gives you a rolling total.
35:48It moves from £68 to £138.
35:52Hey, not bad.
35:53The money is of little consequence, because all three of you have earned yourself a golden
36:00gavel.
36:00Yay!
36:01OK.
36:02Well done, you two.
36:09So, Sarah and Kayleigh, how were we feeling?
36:13Nervous, excited.
36:14I'm really excited.
36:15Are you?
36:16Yeah.
36:16Nick, we'd like to be up there, wouldn't we?

37:24I'm asking five now.

37:39Yeah!
37:42So, ladies.
37:44So, it's all for 80.
37:45You made yourselves 36 pounds worth of profit.
37:48So, your rolling total now is 51 pounds.
37:52OK.
37:52So, two profits, a third profit.
37:55You know what that means, don't you?
37:56Golden gavel.
37:56Golden gavel.
37:57Exactly.
37:58Right.
37:58OK.
37:59So, the third item coming up now.
38:01This is a wonderful, wonderful world classic globe, and I can start at 25 pounds.
38:08Oh!

38:14Yes!

38:23Yes!
38:24100.
38:26110, madam.
38:27110, but 120.
38:28130, madam.
38:29130, 140.
38:30Yes!
38:31It's 140 pounds with a man in a shade of grey at 140 pounds.
38:37Congratulations.
38:38Your globe.
38:39Yay!
38:41Well done.
38:43So, ladies.
38:44You bought for 80.
38:46You sold for 140.
38:47That was a plus 60 pound profit.
38:50You were on plus 51.
38:51We are at 111 pounds, and we still have one more lot to go.
38:57But the important thing is, ladies, you've got golden gallows.
39:00Yes!
39:00OK.
39:01Now, you've got the bonus buy to go for.
39:03So, what we want to do now is for you to close your eyes.
39:06OK.
39:07OK, close them.
39:07That's it.
39:08That's it.
39:09And Nick, would you like to go off?
39:10All right, ladies, open your eyes.
39:12Ta-da!
39:14Wow, didn't we?
39:15Well, it's interesting you've got puzzled looks on your faces, because this is a 19th century stoneware puzzle jug.
39:22OK.
39:23So-called because you don't know which spout the water's going to come out of, hence the name puzzle.
39:28And they're quite collectible.
39:30It's 19th century.
39:31Different.
39:32Quirky.
39:33But how much did you pay for it?
39:34A paid, a puzzlingly cheap £20.
39:37Oh, is that it?
39:38Yeah, yeah.
39:39Wow.
39:39What do you think it would make, Nick?
39:41I'd like to see it double its money.
39:42OK, red team.
39:44I need an answer from you.
39:45Are you going to go with a bonus buy?
39:46Do you want to go for it?
39:47Definitely.
39:49OK.
39:50So, the Reds are going with it.
39:52Let's find out what Charles had to say about Nick's bonus buy.
39:57Eric, I just adore it.
39:59It's probably second quarter 19th century, 1820, 1850.
40:04Brampton, Chesterfield, local.
40:07East Midlands pottery.
40:08That lovely almost two-tone, the matte and the gloss finish in a salt glazed stone where
40:13it's a puzzle jug.
40:14It's got that faux cart insignia in the design.
40:18Beautiful object.
40:19Your estimate?
40:20My estimate is between 30 and 40, but it could run.
40:23Well, Nick paid the Prince of Summer £20 for it.
40:25I love it, Eric.
40:26Yeah.
40:28Charles reckoned it £30, £40.
40:30If it makes that money, then it's bingo.
40:33Because I'll have three people with golden gavels.
40:36Yes.
40:36OK?
40:37Yes.
40:37Let's see where we go.
40:39Coming up now.
40:39We really rate this jug and I'm bid straight in at 25, 35, 45, 50.
40:4850 I'm bid.
40:49Do I see five now?
40:50Come on!
40:51Yes!
40:51Come on!
40:5275.
40:5370 I'm bid.
40:54I'll take five now.
40:55Come on!
40:56Come on!
40:57Come on!
40:57Come on!
40:58Come on!
40:58Yeah!
40:5985.
41:01Look at me, madam.
41:02Do I see five now?
41:03Come on!
41:0485.
41:05I'm out.
41:0690 I'll take.
41:08Surely 90.
41:09Look at the jug.
41:09Look at me.
41:10And I'm selling it.
41:11I think it's all over.
41:1385 pounds.
41:15Going, going, going.
41:17Sold!
41:17Yes!
41:19So ladies, 65 pound profit.
41:21So that gave you total profit now.
41:25176 pounds.
41:26Wow.
41:26Yes!
41:27176 pounds.
41:29And ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching.
41:31Golden Gavel's all round.
41:33Yes!
41:34Yes!
41:34Yes!
41:34Okay.
41:41Well James, what a wonderful way to wrap up a show which is dedicated to carrots.
41:46I have to say that I'm smiling even more so because both teams have made a profit.
41:52In fact, both teams have made a three-figure profit.
41:55Wow.
41:56And the winning team today, I can tell you, are you ready?
41:59Yes.
42:00It's the red team.
42:01Yeah!
42:02The red team!
42:03Sorry.
42:04Yeah, don't hold back.
42:05Don't hold back.
42:08Blue team, you're the champion.
42:09You really did.
42:10138 pound profit.
42:12I can't believe that you're runners up with a figure like that.
42:15Anyway, I've got 138 pounds for you.
42:19Okay.
42:19But it gets better, doesn't it?
42:21Because you earned yourselves the golden gavel.
42:25The order of the golden gavel.
42:28It'll be written in the annals of history.
42:31So, Blues, a good time was that by all, yes?
42:33Yes.
42:34Excellent.
42:35So, Rez, you delivered a profit of 176 pounds.
42:40A winning score.
42:41Not only am I going to give you 176 pounds.
42:45There we go.
42:46Oh.
42:46All right.
42:47But you also win the golden gavel.
42:52So, a golden gavel coming for yourself.
42:56And there we go.
42:58And then, of course, one for Nick.
43:00Okay.
43:01Well, I'm truly delighted that we're sending home two sets of carers
43:05with their pockets full of profits.
43:07So, well done, ladies.
43:09Well done.
43:09And if you're watching at home and you're thinking,
43:12I can do better than that, then why don't you apply to be on the show?
43:16Now, you can do so by visiting our website.
43:19There again, you can always follow us on social media.
