We're quite early on. 189 00:08:43,842 --> 00:08:45,241 We ARE early on. 190 00:08:45,242 --> 00:08:47,561 Indeed we are. 191 00:08:47,562 --> 00:08:48,921 What's Gary got his eye on? 192 00:08:48,922 --> 00:08:52,481 What do you think of this... Optician's kit? 193 00:08:52,482 --> 00:08:56,121 Yeah, I've seen those... What kind of Kit did you say? Optician's. 194 00:08:56,122 --> 00:08:58,361 Optician's kit, OK. So it's on for 135, Gary. 195 00:08:58,362 --> 00:09:00,481 I think that's a good starting point. 196 00:09:00,482 --> 00:09:02,321 I like that, as well. I mean, look at that. 197 00:09:02,322 --> 00:09:03,881 Yeah, that is very smart. Open that, slide. 198 00:09:03,882 --> 00:09:07,361 Probably Art Deco period, 1930s, as you can see. 199 00:09:07,362 --> 00:09:09,281 Yeah. It IS nice, isn't it? 200 00:09:09,282 --> 00:09:10,841 Let's have a word with Sharon. 201 00:09:10,842 --> 00:09:13,721 Sharon, we quite like this box here. 202 00:09:13,722 --> 00:09:16,601 What might be your very, very best? 203 00:09:16,602 --> 00:09:19,641 I might do 120. 119? 204 00:09:19,642 --> 00:09:22,321 Because it's £1 under, you know it goes up in tens. 205 00:09:22,322 --> 00:09:24,521 Go on, 119. Happy with that, 119? 206 00:09:24,522 --> 00:09:28,321 I think so. Look, look, OK, we've got time. We do.

Not sure I can. If I go Down I might never get back up. 212 00:09:42,682 --> 00:09:45,681 Never have a bad back. 'Marble hardwood frame.' 213 00:09:45,682 --> 00:09:49,041 I cannot see the point in buying that. OK. 214 00:09:49,042 --> 00:09:53,201 Ben, I'm so sorry. That's all right. 215 00:09:53,202 --> 00:09:54,480 HE 216 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,441 There we go. Well done, Ben - what a team player. 217 00:10:00,442 --> 00:10:01,881 Over with the Blues, 218 00:10:01,882 --> 00:10:05,081 Martin's spotted something for my challenge. 219 00:10:05,082 --> 00:10:07,441 That's my kind of thing. Spitfire. 220 00:10:07,442 --> 00:10:10,961 Feel the weight of that. Right. 221 00:10:10,962 --> 00:10:14,081 40 quid. And what metal's that? Is that brass? Brass, I think. 222 00:10:14,082 --> 00:10:16,121 Brass. And how much is that? 223 00:10:16,122 --> 00:10:19,441 That's 55 for the biplane. 55. 224 00:10:19,442 --> 00:10:22,441 And that's made of, obviously, wood or something. 225 00:10:22,442 --> 00:10:24,081 That's got more charm than this. Do you know what? 226 00:10:24,082 --> 00:10:26,481 It's got a certain something, hasn't it? 227 00:10:26,482 --> 00:10:29,361 The Spitfire would be my choice, I've got to be honest. Go with that? 228 00:10:29,362 --> 00:10:33,121 I do like that. That's one of the early models, isn't it? 229 00:10:33,122 --> 00:10:35,561 That's the three-blade prop. 230 00:10:35,562 --> 00:10:38,441 Yes. So that's an early Spitfire. Good bit of weight to it. 231 00:10:38,442 --> 00:10:39,601 Very nice, yeah. 232 00:10:39,602 --> 00:10:42,041 It's solid brass. And that's at 40, is it? 233 00:10:42,042 --> 00:10:47,201 That's 40. Sharon, Spitfire at 40. Lovely. 234 00:10:47,202 --> 00:10:50,841 And I notice there's 20% off already.

Yes, so that's 32. 237 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,201 I'll do it for 30, we round it up. Can you do it for 29? 238 00:11:01,202 --> 00:11:03,121 You know what I said about the fives and tens? 239 00:11:03,122 --> 00:11:04,601 Please, can we? 29, then. 29. 240 00:11:04,602 --> 00:11:06,681 Shall we buy it at 29?

Yeah. 247 00:11:24,082 --> 00:11:27,721 Meanwhile, Mel is leading the charge over with the Reds. 248 00:11:27,722 --> 00:11:31,641 I really like these, the little olive sticks. 249 00:11:31,642 --> 00:11:33,721 Ooh! They're little mice, aren't they? 250 00:11:33,722 --> 00:11:35,401 They're cute as buttons. 251 00:11:35,402 --> 00:11:37,001 Cute as buttons. 252 00:11:37,002 --> 00:11:39,441 Oh! I love it, love it, love it, love it. 253 00:11:39,442 --> 00:11:41,841 Hey, you like your jewellery. 254 00:11:41,842 --> 00:11:44,961 What's that made of? That is mother-of-pearl. Oh! 255 00:11:44,962 --> 00:11:47,721 It's a shell. So what would that be used for, Ben? 256 00:11:47,722 --> 00:11:49,921 Well, I mean, often, people, 257 00:11:49,922 --> 00:11:52,281 They were used for thimble cases and things like that. 258 00:11:52,282 --> 00:11:54,801 Do you think it's Victorian or Edwardian? 259 00:11:54,802 --> 00:11:56,921 Well, I think it's more likely Edwardian. 260 00:11:56,922 --> 00:11:58,521 They're calling it Victorian. 261 00:11:58,522 --> 00:12:00,641 I mean, it's splitting hairs - It's around about 1900, 1910... 262 00:12:00,642 --> 00:12:03,361 OK... I would say, and it's 263 00:12:03,362 --> 00:12:05,561 In absolutely perfect condition that I can see. 264 00:12:05,562 --> 00:12:08,041 We've got Ian, who's from the antique centre here, 265 00:12:08,042 --> 00:12:10,641 Who I think can help us. Mel, do your damnedest. 266 00:12:10,642 --> 00:12:12,521 Hello. What have you found, Mel? 267 00:12:12,522 --> 00:12:15,601 Well, I love this. This is so sweet. 268 00:12:15,602 --> 00:12:18,281 Oh, it's wonderful, isn't it? It's gorgeous. All right. 269 00:12:18,282 --> 00:12:20,881 And it's got 38 on the ticket. 270 00:12:20,882 --> 00:12:23,201 I suppose you're going to beat me down, are you? 271 00:12:23,202 --> 00:12:25,681 Would you go down to 20 if I told you I'd crack a joke? 272 00:12:25,682 --> 00:12:29,041 Can't do 20. I can do it for 32, if that would help. 273 00:12:29,042 --> 00:12:34,161 Would 30 be OK, or would 32 be your last? 274 00:12:34,162 --> 00:12:36,641 30 would be an absolute base. 275 00:12:36,642 --> 00:12:39,921 £30. Do you want the joke? Go on, then. 276 00:12:39,922 --> 00:12:41,441 Why did the bike fall over? 277 00:12:41,442 --> 00:12:43,561 I don't know, why did the bike fall over? 278 00:12:43,562 --> 00:12:46,001 It's'two-tyred'. 279 00:12:46,002 --> 00:12:49,161 Good work, Reds, the first purchase in the bag - 280 00:12:49,162 --> 00:12:51,681 A mother-of-pearl purse for £30. 281 00:12:51,682 --> 00:12:55,161 We finally got our first item, we're 33 minutes down. 282 00:12:55,162 --> 00:12:57,361 Yes. Oh, God! And don't worry we haven't actually met 283 00:12:57,362 --> 00:13:00,641 The challenge or the big spend, but there we go. 284 00:13:00,642 --> 00:13:02,641 Don't panic, Ben - we all know things can 285 00:13:02,642 --> 00:13:04,121 Change quickly in this game. 286 00:13:04,122 --> 00:13:07,881 Mark, what's that sign you have there? 287 00:13:07,882 --> 00:13:12,001 "Superb late-18th-century wood and plaster tavern panel 288 00:13:12,002 --> 00:13:17,281 "salvaged from the original Yates's Wine Lodge in Oldham, 1884." 289 00:13:17,282 --> 00:13:20,160 It's been repainted. Let's look at the back. 290 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,161 All right. So is one original wood? 291 00:13:25,162 --> 00:13:28,001 Could be. Says 135. 292 00:13:28,002 --> 00:13:31,521 Which... Would we expect anything 200 years old, 293 00:13:31,522 --> 00:13:33,201 Or 150-plus years old? 294 00:13:33,202 --> 00:13:36,441 I'd rather it wasn't touched. Oh. Yeah. 295 00:13:36,442 --> 00:13:39,081 I mean, I like the humour in the sign, but the fact 296 00:13:39,082 --> 00:13:44,281 That it's been repainted sort of is a downer for me. OK. OK. 297 00:13:44,282 --> 00:13:46,161 Fair enough, Gary. Let's pop it back. 298 00:13:46,162 --> 00:13:50,320 Over with the Reds, Mel's spotted her dad's favourite. 299 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,801 There's a set of six Bristol Blue glasses. Mm. 300 00:13:53,802 --> 00:13:57,121 They look lovely, but they're £75, 301 00:13:57,122 --> 00:13:59,761 And that means that we'd have to insist on buying them 302 00:13:59,762 --> 00:14:02,161 For 75 for it to count as the big boy. 303 00:14:02,162 --> 00:14:04,041 We would be able to do them with the jug. 304 00:14:04,042 --> 00:14:06,081 I think there'd be no problem in having that as a group lot. 305 00:14:06,082 --> 00:14:11,921 So that's a thought. OK. So 75 plus...55. 306 00:14:11,922 --> 00:14:14,401 So that would make it 130. 307 00:14:14,402 --> 00:14:18,441 That would give us a big spend With a link to the South West. 308 00:14:18,442 --> 00:14:20,921 So let me open up and have a look. 309 00:14:20,922 --> 00:14:22,201 One nice thing - 310 00:14:22,202 --> 00:14:24,321 There's a nice weight to the glass. 311 00:14:24,322 --> 00:14:26,281 Ther's a nice, clear pontil on the bottom. 312 00:14:26,282 --> 00:14:28,361 It's actually been... What is a pontil? 313 00:14:28,362 --> 00:14:30,001 Good question, Mel. 314 00:14:30,002 --> 00:14:32,681 When glass is blown, you know they blow glass? Mm. 315 00:14:32,682 --> 00:14:35,961 That's where it struck off the end. Oh, they clip it. 316 00:14:35,962 --> 00:14:38,001 A pontil should be really quite Sharp cos it's been snapped off. 317 00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:40,041 This is made to look like a pontil. 318 00:14:40,042 --> 00:14:42,361 So that means it's not particularly old. 319 00:14:42,362 --> 00:14:45,441 I think that's around the'70s. 1970s. 320 00:14:45,442 --> 00:14:47,721 I think you could be absolutely right with that. 321 00:14:47,722 --> 00:14:49,641 I'm just going to get a glass out 322 00:14:49,642 --> 00:14:52,481 And see if they look and feel the same. 323 00:14:52,482 --> 00:14:54,681 They feel and look exactly the same. So they... 324 00:14:54,682 --> 00:14:58,681 What if we could get them right down in price? Ian? 325 00:14:58,682 --> 00:15:01,121 Total price is £130. 326 00:15:01,122 --> 00:15:04,441 Yeah. But they're nowhere near As old as we'd hoped they would be. 327 00:15:04,442 --> 00:15:07,241 OK. Is 75 a possibility? 328 00:15:07,242 --> 00:15:10,201 You guys are from Bristol, right? We are, yes. I'll say yes. 329 00:15:10,202 --> 00:15:12,001 SHE Brilliant. 330 00:15:12,002 --> 00:15:14,961 Thank you! But there we go. Thank you! 331 00:15:14,962 --> 00:15:17,041 Thank you. 332 00:15:17,042 --> 00:15:19,161 Thank you very much, Ian, I was not expecting that. 333 00:15:19,162 --> 00:15:21,401 Yes, not when I'm holding glass. It'll all go wrong. 334 00:15:21,402 --> 00:15:22,561 ADE 335 00:15:22,562 --> 00:15:25,401 I just wanted you to join in. Yes, I'll join in a moment. 336 00:15:25,402 --> 00:15:28,041 So the Reds' set of Bristol Blue 337 00:15:28,042 --> 00:15:30,241 Glassware meets my South West of England challenge 338 00:15:30,242 --> 00:15:33,841 And, at £75, it also ticks off the big spend. Well done! 339 00:15:33,842 --> 00:15:35,881 That's a lot of pressure off, 340 00:15:35,882 --> 00:15:39,041 That is. Yes, load off. Yeah. You're not wrong there, Mel. 341 00:15:39,042 --> 00:15:42,841 15 minutes to go, and both teams have one more item to find, 342 00:15:42,842 --> 00:15:45,521 And the Blues need to spend big. 343 00:15:45,522 --> 00:15:48,241 I've just seen Georg Jensen silver paper. 344 00:15:48,242 --> 00:15:51,561 It's a letter-opener, isn't it? And it says £45. 345 00:15:51,562 --> 00:15:54,161 Really? Yeah. Shame it doesn't cost a bit more. 346 00:15:54,162 --> 00:15:55,881 £45 won't cut it for the big spend. 347 00:15:55,882 --> 00:16:01,001 Yeah, OK. Yeah? Yeah. So let's go 348 00:16:01,002 --> 00:16:03,801 To the other silver cabinet. Mm-hm. The other side. OK. 349 00:16:03,802 --> 00:16:06,081 Keep searching, Blues. 350 00:16:06,082 --> 00:16:07,361 Over with the Reds, 351 00:16:07,362 --> 00:16:10,361 Mel's spotted a chest. Oh! Reproduction. Beautiful. 352 00:16:10,362 --> 00:16:13,001 Is this a reproduction case, do you think? 353 00:16:13,002 --> 00:16:15,281 Go on, Ben, crouch down for a closer look. 354 00:16:15,282 --> 00:16:17,041 What is it with you making him get on his knees? 355 00:16:17,042 --> 00:16:19,001 I know, I'm going to do his knees in. I'm sorry. 356 00:16:19,002 --> 00:16:21,041 It's not my knees, it's my back. ADE CHUCKLES 357 00:16:21,042 --> 00:16:22,721 It's on trundles. 358 00:16:22,722 --> 00:16:25,121 What is it? Well, I mean, it's a storage box. 359 00:16:25,122 --> 00:16:28,081 I mean, it's Eastern origin. When we say'Eastern', 360 00:16:28,082 --> 00:16:30,921 It's anywhere slightly east of Norfolk. 361 00:16:30,922 --> 00:16:33,321 No, further east than that. We're looking... 362 00:16:33,322 --> 00:16:35,761 Oh.

I'm off to the pub. 534 00:23:58,122 --> 00:24:00,880 Although this one isn't your average watering hole. 535 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:08,361 The Valiant Soldier closed its doors In the 1960s and never reopened. 536 00:24:08,362 --> 00:24:10,401 Its landlady at the time couldn't bear 537 00:24:10,402 --> 00:24:13,001 The thought of not being able to serve another drink, 538 00:24:13,002 --> 00:24:16,352 So, after the last pint was pulled, She locked the door behind her. 539 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,361 It's remained untouched for six decades, 540 00:24:20,362 --> 00:24:22,441 So you could say that, by stepping inside, 541 00:24:22,442 --> 00:24:25,160 I'm going back in time to the 1960s. 542 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,801 Everybody used to drink in the town. 543 00:24:33,802 --> 00:24:35,641 There were so many bleedin'people, 544 00:24:35,642 --> 00:24:37,881 One pub couldn't hold them, but the atmosphere, 545 00:24:37,882 --> 00:24:38,921 It was brilliant. 546 00:24:38,922 --> 00:24:42,841 The Valiant Soldier was very friendly, you know what I mean. 547 00:24:42,842 --> 00:24:45,921 Like a bit of a bread and cheese Half the time. You could go in there 548 00:24:45,922 --> 00:24:50,280 And get three bottles of brandy if You wanted, or anything like that. 549 00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:55,121 Today, the pub is a museum. I'm meeting trustee and volunteer 550 00:24:55,122 --> 00:24:57,841 Rod Denley-Jones to find out more. 551 00:24:57,842 --> 00:25:00,241 Tell me, how did The Valiant Soldier come to be? 552 00:25:00,242 --> 00:25:03,561 The Valiant Soldier was run by Alice Roberts. 553 00:25:03,562 --> 00:25:06,841 Alice and her husband, Mark, were The landlord and landlady... Mm-hm. 554 00:25:06,842 --> 00:25:09,961 But she was really the powerhouse behind everything. 555 00:25:09,962 --> 00:25:13,761 Certainly, she was the one who made The pub what it was. At that time, 556 00:25:13,762 --> 00:25:17,081 There were a lot of pubs, and not All of them making much money. 557 00:25:17,082 --> 00:25:19,961 The brewery closed, it took the licence away. Aw! 558 00:25:19,962 --> 00:25:22,721 Alice and her husband, Mark, were very, very upset 559 00:25:22,722 --> 00:25:25,681 About losing the pub. The last day that they were open, 560 00:25:25,682 --> 00:25:30,641 Which was the 28th of September, 1965, they had a lock-in. Aw! 561 00:25:30,642 --> 00:25:32,681 And they never called time. 562 00:25:32,682 --> 00:25:35,801 They didn't ring the bell when the last person left, 563 00:25:35,802 --> 00:25:38,401 They just shut the door and went to bed. 564 00:25:38,402 --> 00:25:40,161 There were beer glasses, there were 565 00:25:40,162 --> 00:25:42,081 Cigarette ends in the ashtrays... Huh! 566 00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,561 A game of cards that had been being played. 567 00:25:44,562 --> 00:25:47,201 And they just let it become dusty... 568 00:25:47,202 --> 00:25:48,841 And the time capsule that it is now. 569 00:25:48,842 --> 00:25:50,881 And the time capsule as it is now, yeah. Yeah. 570 00:25:50,882 --> 00:25:53,521 So who was drinking here in this bar? 571 00:25:53,522 --> 00:25:55,761 This was a working man's bar. 572 00:25:55,762 --> 00:25:59,521 And he had workers here that worked in the woollen mills 573 00:25:59,522 --> 00:26:03,321 That were the lifeblood of Buckfastleigh at the time. 574 00:26:03,322 --> 00:26:05,481 What did people drink when they came here? 575 00:26:05,482 --> 00:26:08,481 It was reasonably limited. Plenty of spirits, 576 00:26:08,482 --> 00:26:11,241 But most of the time you'd have had beer or cider. 577 00:26:11,242 --> 00:26:13,161 And how would it have been served? 578 00:26:13,162 --> 00:26:16,161 They would have been served out of a jug like this. 579 00:26:16,162 --> 00:26:20,361 What you did was took the jug to the barrel, filled the jug, 580 00:26:20,362 --> 00:26:24,881 And then you poured whatever it was Beer or cider - into the glass. 581 00:26:24,882 --> 00:26:27,841 Your measure was whatever the landlord gave you. 582 00:26:27,842 --> 00:26:29,721 So, Rod, if I had walked in here, 583 00:26:29,722 --> 00:26:32,121 Could I have sat down at the bar and had a drink? 584 00:26:32,122 --> 00:26:34,601 You'd have walked out very quickly, because somebody 585 00:26:34,602 --> 00:26:37,441 Would have said to you, 'Into the lounge.' 586 00:26:37,442 --> 00:26:39,601 Because I'm a woman? Because you're a woman. 587 00:26:39,602 --> 00:26:43,201 In fact, up until 1982, it was 588 00:26:43,202 --> 00:26:46,481 Not illegal to refuse a woman 589 00:26:46,482 --> 00:26:48,001 Service at a bar.
