Well, today's show is very special indeed - in fact,

0:00:030:00:07

we have made television history.

0:00:070:00:09

Because both teams have made - and wait for this - £150,000 profit!

0:00:090:00:16

Join us next time for some more bargain-hunting!

0:00:260:00:28

Yes? Yes! Yes...

0:00:280:00:30

HARP PLAYS

0:00:320:00:33

Yes... Yes... Yes...

0:00:330:00:36

Oh, maybe one day, eh?

0:00:360:00:38

Well, there's no point me sitting round daydreaming.

0:00:380:00:41

So let's go bargain-hunting!

0:00:410:00:43

We're at the East of England Showground in Peterborough.

0:01:080:01:11

And as always, our teams have one hour and £300 to spend

0:01:110:01:15

on three items that hopefully

0:01:150:01:17

will return them a profit when they sell on at auction.

0:01:170:01:20

Let's have a butcher's at what is coming up.

0:01:200:01:22

We're horsing around with the Reds.

0:01:240:01:26

I love that, I love it with the little...

0:01:260:01:28

Three horses, like the three of us.

0:01:280:01:30

-Yes.

-Galloping to the finishing line!

0:01:300:01:32

It's fun and games with the Blues.

0:01:320:01:34

There you go. See what you think. See if you can put it through the legs.

0:01:340:01:38

Nicely done, Mark.

0:01:380:01:39

And emotions run high for the Reds and Blues at auction.

0:01:400:01:44

Yes!

0:01:440:01:45

One more!

0:01:460:01:47

Ooh!

0:01:480:01:49

All that is coming up later.

0:01:500:01:52

So let's meet today's teams.

0:01:520:01:54

And we've got a cracking bunch.

0:01:540:01:56

For the Reds we've got married couple Stephen and Clare.

0:01:560:01:59

And for the Blues we've got good friends Jake and Mark.

0:01:590:02:02

So, hello. ALL: Hello!

0:02:020:02:03

So Clare, tell me how you guys met?

0:02:040:02:06

Well, I was working for Steve in a catering company in Marbella.

0:02:060:02:10

He said to me, if you try my cheesecake, you'll marry me.

0:02:100:02:13

And we ended up having cheesecake at the wedding!

0:02:130:02:15

Good grief! All on the strength of this man's cheesecake!

0:02:150:02:18

-Yeah.

-But I believe now you do something completely different for a

0:02:180:02:21

-living?

-Yeah, that's right.

0:02:210:02:22

I work in a law firm, I do conveyancing in a high-street firm.

0:02:220:02:27

And what about chilling out, de-stressing. What do you get up to?

0:02:270:02:30

I ride horses, I used to teach, and I host dinner parties as well.

0:02:300:02:36

With my friends and family.

0:02:360:02:38

So Steve, I mean, as a chef,

0:02:380:02:40

you must be well in demand for dinner parties these days.

0:02:400:02:43

But tell me a little bit more about you.

0:02:430:02:45

I work in a hotel in Bedfordshire.

0:02:450:02:48

It's a 4-star hotel and we hold a rosette for our food in our restaurant.

0:02:480:02:52

A rosette, no less?

0:02:520:02:54

Right. Excellente.

0:02:540:02:55

And what about de-stressing for you? What does it take the form of?

0:02:550:02:59

I'm a golf man. I like playing golf, but...not the best, but I enjoy it,

0:02:590:03:03

yeah. Walking the dog, being with my family.

0:03:030:03:06

-Yeah.

-Basically, that's it.

0:03:060:03:08

So, what about the tactics today - what have you come up with?

0:03:080:03:12

We're going to go out and we're going to buy something that's moderately priced.

0:03:120:03:16

And we're just going to go out to win.

0:03:160:03:18

-And look for a bargain!

-Definitely.

0:03:180:03:19

Name of the game! Well, very good luck to you, guys.

0:03:190:03:22

But turning my attention to the Blue team.

0:03:220:03:25

So, Jake, tell me - how did you two first meet?

0:03:250:03:28

Well, Mark and I met at medical school and since then we've performed in

0:03:280:03:32

the pantomime together several times,

0:03:320:03:34

gone on a few trips around the world,

0:03:340:03:36

and we've taken our first steps into our medical careers together.

0:03:360:03:40

So you now have a medical degree?

0:03:400:03:43

I'm training in anaesthetics now and I've got about five years to go until

0:03:430:03:47

I would be able to be a consultant anaesthetist.

0:03:470:03:49

So Mark, you're also in the medical profession,

0:03:490:03:52

but you've taken a slightly different route, I believe?

0:03:520:03:55

Yes, that's right. I actually prefer to do work sometimes!

0:03:550:03:59

-And I'm a surgeon.

-That wasn't lost on you, was it!

0:03:590:04:02

-I think that's a dig.

-It was a bit of a dig.

-That's a classic surgeon.

0:04:020:04:06

Sorry, no, they are very important.

0:04:060:04:08

But no, I see both emergency and nonemergency patients.

0:04:080:04:13

I've had a few jobs in plastic surgery, paediatric surgery,

0:04:130:04:17

and I'm currently working as a general surgical trainee at the moment.

0:04:170:04:20

OK, fellas, what about tactics today?

0:04:200:04:22

We're out to win, we're going to use our team working skills,

0:04:220:04:26

we're going to use our clinical knowledge to spot the signs

0:04:260:04:30

of a good bargain from a long way away!

0:04:300:04:33

So, it's time for the money moment.

0:04:330:04:35

So £300 for the Reds.

0:04:350:04:37

£300 for the Blues.

0:04:370:04:40

Spend it wisely. This is the bit where you go off and you meet your experts.

0:04:400:04:44

Well, two teams with very competitive streaks.

0:04:450:04:49

I think we're in for a bit of fun today!

0:04:490:04:51

And of course, our two teams will need some guidance along the way.

0:04:520:04:56

Charles Hanson will be teeing off with the Reds.

0:04:560:05:01

Whilst Tim Weeks will be putting his best foot forward for the Blues.

0:05:010:05:05

What are we looking for today?

0:05:060:05:08

I would like a piece of furniture, maybe a big wooden box or chest.

0:05:080:05:13

-I like your style.

-Oh,

0:05:130:05:14

I think we'll try and look for something of scientific or medical value,

0:05:140:05:18

-that sort of thing.

-Chef?

0:05:180:05:19

-Silverware.

-Why?

-Definitely silverware.

0:05:190:05:21

-Why?

-Shiny, make good money.

0:05:210:05:23

Something nice and sophisticated.

0:05:230:05:26

What's that? 60 minutes?

0:05:260:05:28

Your time starts now! HOOTER SOUNDS

0:05:280:05:30

Right, let's get on with it. Come on!

0:05:300:05:32

Come on, follow me!

0:05:320:05:34

Well, there's no shortage on the shopping list today.

0:05:340:05:37

Luckily, there's plenty to choose from. Good luck, teams!

0:05:370:05:40

Maybe if we wander down this way and then we can wander

0:05:400:05:43

round and then come back indoors if we need to.

0:05:430:05:46

Come on, let's go.

0:05:460:05:47

Did everyone get that? Good!

0:05:470:05:49

Straight away, the Blues have spotted a potential purchase.

0:05:490:05:52

It's stylish, still very cool.

0:05:520:05:54

Such a popular brand. So many people are after it.

0:05:540:05:57

General collectors are going to want something like that.

0:05:570:05:59

It's great advertising. It's a very cool piece.

0:05:590:06:01

-Yeah.

-What do you think, Mark?

0:06:010:06:03

I like the slightly rusted effect to it.

0:06:030:06:06

Well, you both seem pretty keen, so shall we ask the trader?

0:06:060:06:09

Yeah. Let's bring him over.

0:06:090:06:11

-Sir, good morning. How are you?

-Good morning.

0:06:110:06:12

We're interested in your sign there.

0:06:120:06:14

-Yeah, the vintage Lambretta.

-What's your asking price on it?

0:06:140:06:18

-It's 140.

-Oh, I think for 140 we're going to struggle to make a profit on that.

0:06:180:06:22

-What do you think, Mark?

-Best I can do it for is 120.

0:06:220:06:26

Unless we can get it for about 50, I can see that making much of a profit.

0:06:260:06:29

-What do you think?

-No, can't do that.

-Well, shall we leave it in the bank

0:06:290:06:32

for now? Because it's still early.

0:06:320:06:34

That would've been a third of the asking price, Blues.

0:06:340:06:37

Off you scoot! Meanwhile, the Reds have also spotted something shiny.

0:06:380:06:42

Oh, that's nice. It's quite expensive, isn't it?

0:06:420:06:45

-Yes.

-Yeah.

-I paid three and a half.

0:06:460:06:48

So I was asking 380.

0:06:480:06:49

Yeah. Remember our budget, OK?

0:06:490:06:52

This is the immortal words.

0:06:520:06:53

£380, Reds.

0:06:530:06:55

Anything else within budget, maybe?

0:06:550:06:57

This, for £10, enamelled English silver.

0:06:580:07:00

-My goodness me. Isn't that gorgeous?

-It's nice.

0:07:000:07:03

Fancy some sherry in your trifle, chef?

0:07:030:07:06

-Can we have it for eight?

-No, because I could retail it for 30.

0:07:060:07:09

-I'm knocking £20 off.

-What you got on here is

0:07:090:07:12

obviously a heavy label, a decanter label.

0:07:120:07:15

How do we know it's silver, chef?

0:07:150:07:17

-Look at the hallmark?

-Exactly.

0:07:170:07:19

So, on the back we can see the hallmark for Birmingham, so we're talking,

0:07:190:07:24

age wise, maybe 1970s.

0:07:240:07:28

-What's it worth?

-Well, I would say happily, all day long,

0:07:280:07:31

it ought to make about £30.

0:07:310:07:33

I think for £10, an absolute bargain.

0:07:330:07:35

-Perfect.

-I think, shake the man's hand.

0:07:350:07:37

Sir! Hello. Sorry, my colleague has a word to say to you.

0:07:370:07:40

-Thank you. £10.

-On that note...

0:07:400:07:42

And that, Red team, is how it's done!

0:07:420:07:44

Sometimes, guys, you get lucky.

0:07:440:07:46

You know, what a tipple, for a tenner!

0:07:460:07:48

Cheers! Good health!

0:07:480:07:50

Six minutes gone, one down, two to go.

0:07:500:07:52

-Come on.

-Perfect, let's go.

0:07:520:07:54

Meanwhile, the Blues have spotted something rather familiar.

0:07:540:07:57

Oh, are we going to go through an anatomy session now?

0:07:570:08:00

Intrigued as to how old this is.

0:08:000:08:02

I would've thought that's probably '60s, '70s.

0:08:020:08:04

It's made of resin. What are the numbers, then?

0:08:040:08:07

-Oh, well, is this a test, or...?

-This is a test, yeah.

0:08:070:08:09

-I want to check that you are a doctor!

-Oh, right, OK.

0:08:090:08:12

Well, we've got the kidneys here, the spleen up here,

0:08:120:08:14

-this is where the heart would sit.

-OK, well, it's quite a cool thing, isn't it?

0:08:140:08:17

You did say you wanted something medical-related.

0:08:170:08:20

-Yeah.

-Well, you sound keen.

0:08:200:08:21

Time to have a word with the dealer.

0:08:210:08:23

Sir, could we have a word about one of your items, please?

0:08:230:08:25

-How do you do?

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

0:08:250:08:27

-Got some lovely items.

-Can you offer us a price?

0:08:270:08:30

We're asking 295, really.

0:08:300:08:32

-Yes.

-We've seen advertised for £1,000, complete.

0:08:320:08:36

-Complete item.

-Thank you anyway.

0:08:360:08:38

It's been a pleasure, thank you.

0:08:380:08:39

Never mind. Onwards!

0:08:400:08:43

-Best keep going.

-What's Charles spotted?

0:08:430:08:46

There we go. Oh, look at that.

0:08:460:08:48

-Wow.

-Wow.

0:08:480:08:49

-Quite like it.

-So, do you think it's got any age to it?

0:08:490:08:51

Well, yes, I do.

0:08:510:08:53

I think looking at the exterior,

0:08:530:08:55

it's obviously some sort of travelling case because you can see

0:08:550:09:00

on the sides here, these flush handles inset in iron.

0:09:000:09:05

What date would it be, Stephen?

0:09:050:09:07

Artillery, First World War?

0:09:070:09:09

Yeah, I think it's probably 1910, 1920.

0:09:090:09:13

If you saw this...

0:09:130:09:14

-Yeah.

-..in a shop.

0:09:140:09:16

What would you pay for it, Stephen?

0:09:160:09:17

-£80?

-Yourself?

0:09:170:09:19

No, I would pay a lot less.

0:09:190:09:20

-Yeah.

-40, 50?

0:09:200:09:22

-40.

-I'm going to guess, I think if you go off and ask the dealer,

0:09:220:09:26

I think you'll come back and tell me it's priced at £65.

0:09:260:09:29

-OK.

-Good luck.

-I'll see what we can do.

0:09:290:09:31

-Good luck.

-Time will tell.

0:09:310:09:33

Work your magic, Clare!

0:09:330:09:35

Back to the Blues, who are discussing a plan of action.

0:09:350:09:38

Perhaps we should do like a rapid review of the things...

0:09:380:09:41

Go for a bit of a recce, yeah.

0:09:410:09:42

-Yeah.

-Shall we do it? Shall we go into one of these bays and just have a look round?

0:09:420:09:46

-Just start having a look?

-Yeah, OK.

0:09:460:09:47

-Let's do it.

-So it's a rapid recce and review for the Blues.

0:09:470:09:51

Back with the Reds, and Charles guessed a price on the box of £65.

0:09:510:09:56

Well, he started off at 65.

0:09:560:09:58

-Really!

-Yeah. And then we went down to 45.

0:09:580:10:01

If it came into my saleroom, I'd probably say between 40 and £60.

0:10:010:10:06

-So what do you think?

-I love it.

0:10:060:10:08

I think we should come back.

0:10:080:10:10

Because it's quick, isn't it, and soon?

0:10:100:10:13

Yeah. It can be a snappy buy later.

0:10:130:10:15

-Yeah.

-But it might go.

-Yeah, that's OK.

0:10:150:10:17

Not sure you had a say in that one, Steve!

0:10:170:10:20

But moving on, team!

0:10:200:10:21

Right, Blues, time to get a move on.

0:10:210:10:23

You still need to bag your first item,

0:10:230:10:25

and you're 20 minutes into the shop!

0:10:250:10:28

-Croquet set.

-That could be interesting, couldn't it?

0:10:280:10:30

It's in good condition, isn't it? It's all there, all complete.

0:10:300:10:33

Croquet came in mid-19th century.

0:10:330:10:35

I don't think this is quite as old as that.

0:10:350:10:37

No. I would say this is '70s, even '80s.

0:10:370:10:40

There you go. See what you think. See if you can put it through the legs.

0:10:400:10:42

-Nicely done, Mark.

-I think it's worth finding out what we can do.

0:10:440:10:47

If we get it for 30, £40.

0:10:470:10:48

-OK.

-There could be some money in there.

0:10:480:10:50

I think so. I think we could do that.

0:10:500:10:52

Hello. We're admiring your croquet set.

0:10:520:10:54

Yeah, it's a nice set. Best price on it, I've got 45 on it.

0:10:540:10:58

Today only, £30.

0:10:580:11:00

-Could you do 25?

-I couldn't possibly. I'd be losing money.

0:11:000:11:03

You know what, Mark, I like this. I do like this one.

0:11:030:11:06

-We'll go for 30.

-OK.

0:11:060:11:08

Thank you very much.

0:11:080:11:10

Look at that! That's the first buy down.

0:11:100:11:11

Put it there! Happy?

0:11:110:11:13

The smiles are back on the faces.

0:11:130:11:15

-We're going to it!

-Right, we're on a roll now.

0:11:150:11:17

Let's do it. Come on!

0:11:170:11:18

And there you have it, Blues. One item down, eventually.

0:11:180:11:22

That's one item apiece, teams.

0:11:220:11:24

They're over there.

0:11:250:11:26

-What are they looking at?

-Hello!

0:11:260:11:28

No, we're not watching you, OK!

0:11:300:11:31

Oh, look out, Blues. Someone has their eye on you!

0:11:310:11:34

What have you spotted, guys?

0:11:340:11:36

That little bellows there.

0:11:360:11:37

Little bellows, brass bellows.

0:11:370:11:39

So, what do you like about that?

0:11:390:11:41

I don't know, it's interesting to think

0:11:410:11:44

what it might have been used for,

0:11:440:11:46

if someone would use that to start a little mini fire or something like

0:11:460:11:48

-that.

-Yeah.

-I mean, it doesn't excite me an awful lot, if I'm honest.

0:11:480:11:52

-No.

-OK, don't waste time, team, move on!

0:11:520:11:56

Back to business, and it's another spot by Charles.

0:11:560:11:58

-It's...

-Is it a flask?

0:11:580:12:00

I'd call it like a little whisky flask, isn't it?

0:12:000:12:03

It's in the form of a female shoe of circa 1850.

0:12:030:12:07

But you can see, turn it upside down there,

0:12:070:12:09

can you see these old stilt marks?

0:12:090:12:11

-Yeah.

-They're the kiln marks.

0:12:110:12:12

So in the kiln, it sat on those three feet.

0:12:120:12:17

-Are there collectors out there?

-Yeah, hugely.

0:12:170:12:19

-How much is it?

-20.

0:12:190:12:21

-20.

-I don't like to use the term bargain, because we're hunting.

0:12:210:12:25

-But that's a bargain.

-15.

0:12:250:12:27

Oh, don't say that, man!

0:12:270:12:29

Really, it ought to make between, I think, £40 and £60.

0:12:290:12:34

That's a bold claim, Charles.

0:12:340:12:35

It's not what we wanted,

0:12:350:12:37

but I take Charles's expert opinion quite serious.

0:12:370:12:42

Thank you very much!

0:12:420:12:44

-Yeah, let's go for it.

-£15, sir, we'll say going, going...

0:12:440:12:48

-Gone.

-Thanks a lot.

-Thank you.

0:12:480:12:50

We've gone from sherry to whisky - what a happy hour!

0:12:500:12:54

-Drinking theme coming on!

-But it means we've spent how much money?

0:12:540:12:58

-£25.

-Which means we've got how much left over?

0:12:580:13:00

My maths is rubbish, 275?

0:13:010:13:03

Exactly! For one big item.

0:13:030:13:06

Charles is right. It's time for that final item of yours.

0:13:060:13:10

Right, Tim, maybe some guidance for your team is needed.

0:13:110:13:14

Blues, you're playing catch up!

0:13:140:13:16

I like these telephones. Look at these, rotary dials on these.

0:13:160:13:19

The great thing about these is they're cool, vintage, retro, collectable.

0:13:190:13:22

-But people can use them.

-I really like the blue one, actually.

0:13:220:13:25

-You like the blue one?

-The blue one looks really nice.

0:13:250:13:27

Yeah, it's nice, isn't it? The key interesting thing to know is,

0:13:270:13:30

-does it work?

-Yeah.

-Of course.

0:13:300:13:32

Shall we ask about whether or not it works and what sort of price it would be?

0:13:320:13:36

-Lovely.

-I think so, yeah.

0:13:360:13:37

Go and ask the trader. There he is.

0:13:370:13:39

While the Blues make a call on the phones,

0:13:390:13:42

the Reds are pretty relaxed, with just one item to find.

0:13:420:13:45

I almost in a funny way feel like a cup of tea, it's just going so well.

0:13:450:13:48

Don't you think so?

0:13:480:13:50

-I'm happy.

-I think we should go indoors now.

0:13:500:13:52

-And have a look.

-You're aware indoors is quite expensive?

0:13:520:13:54

That's fine, we got the money, we got the time!

0:13:540:13:56

-We still want a bargain!

-OK, I'll follow your lead, come on!

0:13:560:13:59

Sounds like a plan, Reds.

0:13:590:14:01

Right, Jake, what's the news on the phone?

0:14:010:14:03

-How did it go, Jake, is it working?

-Well, he says it's definitely working.

0:14:030:14:06

-OK.

-He's initially said it's 50, but I've talked him down to 35.

0:14:060:14:10

-OK.

-But he said 35 is his absolute limit.

0:14:100:14:13

You'd want to put them as a guide of somewhere between £20 and £40.

0:14:130:14:16

35, it's kind of on the cusp.

0:14:160:14:20

-Yeah.

-I don't know if it's one that we might maybe just hold for now.

0:14:200:14:24

-Yeah.

-I like that idea.

-I think that's top of in the bank.

0:14:240:14:27

-Yeah.

-Is that fair?

-Definitely. Yeah, sounds good.

0:14:270:14:29

So the phone's on hold for now.

0:14:290:14:31

The Reds, however, are otherwise engaged.

0:14:310:14:33

£195?

0:14:330:14:35

£1,900.

0:14:350:14:36

-How much?

-Royal Irish.

0:14:360:14:39

£1,900.

0:14:390:14:43

And I thought they were £195!

0:14:430:14:45

Oops, nice try, Charles! What's Tim spotted?

0:14:450:14:48

There's a better croquet set, do you see?

0:14:480:14:50

Look, Jacques of London. That's when I look at the box,

0:14:500:14:53

but that's going to be £100.

0:14:530:14:55

-Yes.

-You know?

-We could buy a second croquet set!

0:14:550:14:58

Three croquet sets, well, that would be a first!

0:14:580:15:01

Right now, teams, you're coming up to 20 minutes left on your shop.

0:15:020:15:06

Reds, you have two in the bag whilst the Blues still have two to find.

0:15:060:15:10

We've had a good look outside. Shall we try in one of the big sheds?

0:15:100:15:13

-Yeah, let's go in here.

-Come on, let's go for it.

0:15:130:15:15

With £275 left, our Reds are still playing it cautiously.

0:15:170:15:21

I quite like those golf clubs.

0:15:210:15:24

-The bar brooch?

-Yeah.

0:15:240:15:26

I think that could be gold as well.

0:15:260:15:28

-Yeah.

-Are you a golfer, Stephen?

0:15:280:15:30

-Yeah, I enjoy playing golf.

-Is it gold, madam?

-It is gold.

0:15:300:15:33

It's tested as gold.

0:15:330:15:34

I've got 150 on that one.

0:15:340:15:36

It's a bit much, isn't it?

0:15:360:15:38

Especially without a hallmark as well.

0:15:380:15:39

The best on that would be 120.

0:15:390:15:42

120?

0:15:420:15:43

Maybe 80, 90, but not any lower.

0:15:430:15:46

No. I think 120 is a very good retail price, but at auction,

0:15:460:15:50

it might be 80-120.

0:15:500:15:51

-Yeah.

-But good quality.

0:15:510:15:52

And worth it. But you've got to love it.

0:15:520:15:54

-We'll move on.

-Thanks a lot.

-Thanks.

0:15:540:15:56

Thanks for your help. Come on.

0:15:560:15:58

Now, are the Blues faring any better?

0:15:580:16:00

-Good morning, how are you?

-I'm all right.

0:16:000:16:02

I was wondering if we could have a closer look at your Cornishware there.

0:16:020:16:05

-Of course you can.

-The jug.

-Yeah.

-Thank you very much.

0:16:050:16:10

-You're welcome.

-Thank you.

0:16:100:16:11

OK, so nice bit of TG Green.

0:16:110:16:12

We can see the mark there on the bottom.

0:16:120:16:14

Cornishware. Just known for that bright, bold blue and white stripes.

0:16:140:16:19

Been going since the '20s, 1920s, they closed not too long ago.

0:16:190:16:22

2007, 2008.

0:16:220:16:24

What's the condition like? We need that doctor's inspection,

0:16:240:16:26

give it an examination. So if you have a thorough inspection there.

0:16:260:16:29

I'm very happy with that, actually.

0:16:290:16:31

Cornishware was named by an employee -

0:16:310:16:34

it reminded them of the blue skies and white-crested waves of Cornwall.

0:16:340:16:38

Can we have a look at the flour thing as well?

0:16:380:16:40

What would your best offer be on this?

0:16:410:16:44

-Let me have a look.

-So you've got 15 on the flour.

0:16:440:16:46

-Yeah.

-28 on the jug.

0:16:460:16:48

-OK.

-If you can do both for 30, we'll take it now.

0:16:480:16:51

-All right?

-I can't do that, I'm afraid.

0:16:510:16:53

That's too low.

0:16:530:16:55

What would you...?

0:16:550:16:57

-About 32.

-I think that's not too bad, actually.

0:16:570:17:00

-Pretty good, really, yeah. Let's do it.

-Let's go for it.

-Let's do it.

0:17:000:17:03

-Thank you very much.

-Get the deal done.

0:17:030:17:05

-Thank you ever so much.

-Thank you.

-No problem.

0:17:050:17:07

So two down, I feel bit of relief, the pressure's off.

0:17:070:17:10

-Very happy.

-As we've got things in the bank as well.

0:17:100:17:12

-Two excellent purchases.

-And if you see a bargain, do you let it get away?

0:17:120:17:16

-No! You jump on it!

-Exactly.

0:17:160:17:18

Right, shall we crack on? Back on the plan to scan.

0:17:180:17:20

-Come on, let's do it!

-Come on, boys.

0:17:200:17:24

Right, teams, 15 minutes left,

0:17:240:17:26

and each of you have to find your final item.

0:17:260:17:28

Keep believing, OK?

0:17:280:17:30

Yeah.

0:17:300:17:31

The Reds started off so well!

0:17:310:17:33

What's happened? you still have £275 left in your pocket.

0:17:330:17:38

But what has Charles spotted?

0:17:380:17:40

-I love that there.

-How much are you thinking on that?

0:17:400:17:42

-I like that.

-Shall we ask the lady how much it is?

0:17:420:17:45

Because I love the almost, are they sort of like little,

0:17:450:17:47

they're like blister pearls, aren't they?

0:17:470:17:50

And these blister pearls almost reflect the dawn of the Art Nouveau,

0:17:500:17:55

the 20th century, very Arts and Crafts.

0:17:550:17:57

-260.

-260?

0:17:570:17:58

What's your best price?

0:18:000:18:01

The very best on that one would be 200.

0:18:010:18:04

-OK.

-The case is lovely.

0:18:040:18:05

It's probably Edwardian, in period.

0:18:050:18:09

It could make anything from £120-300.

0:18:090:18:13

-That is a gamble.

-It's a real gamble.

0:18:130:18:15

Maybe a bit too risky, team.

0:18:150:18:17

-Keep looking.

-Nervous?

0:18:170:18:19

-No, not yet.

-Anxious?

0:18:190:18:21

-Yes.

-A little bit.

-You are.

0:18:210:18:23

That makes three of us. I think let's go to the really big shed,

0:18:230:18:26

where the higher value things are, and let's go for the top.

0:18:260:18:29

-Yes.

-Come on, let's go.

0:18:290:18:31

That's right, Charles, go big or go home, Reds.

0:18:310:18:33

Meanwhile, it's looking very relaxed over with our Blue team.

0:18:350:18:38

A bit of Poole pottery. Catches the eye.

0:18:380:18:41

-Very much so.

-Poole pottery, real quality.

0:18:410:18:44

You've spotted that. We talked about getting quality.

0:18:440:18:47

Originated, late 19th century, originally Carter, Stabler and Adams,

0:18:470:18:50

named after three of their designers.

0:18:500:18:53

Now they founded the company, it's moved on.

0:18:530:18:55

The key periods, the Art Deco era of the '20s, '30s.

0:18:550:18:58

There's some examples up here.

0:18:580:19:00

This is the more kind of late '60s, early '70s retro.

0:19:000:19:04

That one's a good design, because that's Carol Cutler.

0:19:040:19:06

OK, Carol Cutler. Most prominent.

0:19:060:19:09

Prominent designer, so, yes.

0:19:090:19:11

Really at auction, if you see it

0:19:110:19:13

you'd want it as a guide around £25-40.

0:19:130:19:15

-What do you think?

-Yeah, I like it.

0:19:150:19:17

-We've got to bargain this.

-It's your turn, isn't it?

0:19:170:19:19

-I'll have a go.

-Go on, Mark, give it a whirl.

0:19:190:19:22

-I was wondering if you might be able to tell us what your best offer would be.

-35.

0:19:220:19:28

Would you go to 30, perhaps?

0:19:280:19:30

No, I can't.

0:19:300:19:32

-I'm stretching it. I'll go 33.

-33.

0:19:320:19:36

Quite happy with that.

0:19:360:19:38

I think we'll go for that, I'll shake your hand.

0:19:380:19:40

-Shake the hand.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:19:400:19:43

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

0:19:430:19:44

Brilliant, and hey, that's one, two, three...

0:19:440:19:47

We've done it. Come on. Come on, we've done it.

0:19:470:19:49

Cool, calm and collected Blues, that's all three items done and dusted.

0:19:490:19:55

A last-minute push and you've finished ahead of the Reds.

0:19:550:19:58

Come on, team, ten minutes left.

0:19:590:20:02

I love that. I love it, with the little...

0:20:020:20:04

Three horses, like the three of us.

0:20:040:20:06

Galloping to the finish line.

0:20:060:20:07

-And a little one as well.

-Say again?

0:20:070:20:09

And a little horse as well.

0:20:090:20:11

So us two stallions, then...

0:20:110:20:13

-A little filly.

-May I open it?

0:20:130:20:15

-You may.

-Thank you.

0:20:150:20:17

I would say they are probably 1970s.

0:20:170:20:20

They're marked 925.

0:20:200:20:22

-Yes.

-Which would suggest they are silver.

0:20:220:20:24

-Yes.

-And your best price would be how much?

0:20:240:20:27

The very best we could do is £75.

0:20:270:20:30

Would you take 70 to help us out?

0:20:300:20:32

-£70?

-Oh, go on.

-Yes.

0:20:320:20:34

Oh, she's good.

0:20:340:20:35

-Do you think we should go for it, Charles?

-I think they're really nice.

0:20:350:20:38

At £70 we're going to say going...

0:20:380:20:41

-Going...

-Gone. We'll take them.

0:20:410:20:44

-Thanks a lot, madam.

-Thank you.

0:20:440:20:46

Pleasure. Firm the handshake up to say "sold".

0:20:460:20:48

Lovely. Thanks a lot.

0:20:480:20:50

HOOTER SOUNDS Time's up, teams.

0:20:500:20:52

-How's it feel?

-Brilliant.

-Excellent.

-Really pleased.

0:20:520:20:55

-We're out the saddle, we're now into a calm walk, come on.

-Let's go.

0:20:550:20:59

Let's check out what the Reds bought.

0:21:010:21:03

First up, they took a shine to the sherry label.

0:21:040:21:07

Price paid? £10.

0:21:070:21:09

Next, they went wild for the whisky warmer - it cost them £15.

0:21:100:21:14

And finally, it was the set of three miniature horses,

0:21:160:21:19

which set them back £70.

0:21:190:21:22

So, Charlie, am I right? A bit of walk in the park?

0:21:220:21:24

It was like picking sweets, with Clare and Stephen.

0:21:240:21:27

So lovely and easy.

0:21:270:21:28

It was indeed. So, Clare, let me ask you, your favourite item today?

0:21:280:21:32

The horses, by far.

0:21:320:21:34

The horses. What do you think is going to give you the biggest profit?

0:21:340:21:37

-The horses.

-The horses.

0:21:370:21:38

OK, horses for courses.

0:21:380:21:40

So what you going to say to me there, Steve?

0:21:400:21:42

-The whisky jug.

-The whisky jug is your favourite.

0:21:420:21:44

Yes, the boot one is favourite and I think it's going to make the biggest

0:21:440:21:47

-profit.

-And you think it's going to give you the biggest profit.

0:21:470:21:49

OK. All right.

0:21:490:21:51

So, Steve, pray tell how much did you spend?

0:21:510:21:54

-£95.

-£95.

0:21:540:21:55

Which means the left-over lolly amounts to £205.

0:21:550:21:59

Charles, there it is for the bonus buy - got your eye on anything at all??

0:21:590:22:02

It's a frightening sum. More than two thirds left over.

0:22:020:22:04

I think something alluring,

0:22:040:22:06

something quite sensual and with a certain Michelin star...

0:22:060:22:10

..flavour maybe. I think so, for my team.

0:22:110:22:13

-Absolutely.

-While you go away and spend the money with pleasure,

0:22:130:22:17

let's find out what the Blue team have bought.

0:22:170:22:19

First up, they went crazy over the croquet set.

0:22:200:22:23

Price paid, £30.

0:22:230:22:25

Next was the lovely bit of Cornishware, which cost them £32.

0:22:260:22:30

And finally, they went potty over the piece of Poole for £33.

0:22:310:22:36

So Tim, how did it go for you?

0:22:360:22:38

It was fantastic.

0:22:380:22:39

We dissected those stalls with surgical precision, worked well together.

0:22:390:22:44

-Really good team, I think.

-I thought your communication skills

0:22:440:22:46

-were very good.

-Thank you.

0:22:460:22:48

And I thought you did buy some, you know, good quality items there,

0:22:480:22:52

and favourite item today then?

0:22:520:22:54

For me it was the Cornishware.

0:22:540:22:56

I think that looks classy.

0:22:560:22:57

OK, what's going to make the biggest profit, Joe,

0:22:570:23:00

-that's what I want to know?

-I think it will be the Cornishware.

0:23:000:23:03

-Do you?

-It'll be the Cornishware.

-Mark, what about yourself?

0:23:030:23:05

-Favourite item?

-Well, I really like the croquet set, actually,

0:23:050:23:08

if I'm honest. So I think actually with the right people,

0:23:080:23:10

that might go far, make the biggest profit.

0:23:100:23:13

So favourite item and the biggest profit.

0:23:130:23:15

-Yes.

-OK, so tell me - how much did you spend in total?

0:23:150:23:19

We spent £95 overall.

0:23:190:23:21

£95, and you're going to give me how much?

0:23:210:23:24

205.

0:23:240:23:25

£205, which goes over there to Tim.

0:23:250:23:29

Tim, you got your eye on anything out there?

0:23:290:23:32

Well, not yet. I think, you know, the three boys,

0:23:320:23:34

I'm going to chase some toys, I think.

0:23:340:23:36

But I'm going to keep the mantra "quality but cheap".

0:23:360:23:39

-OK.

-Is that OK?

-Sounds good to me.

0:23:390:23:41

-Sounds excellent.

-OK, you go for it.

0:23:410:23:42

OK. But meanwhile, I'm off on a little jaunt.

0:23:420:23:46

During World War II,

0:23:500:23:51

the county of Lincolnshire

0:23:510:23:53

was given the title of Bomber County.

0:23:530:23:56

It housed over a third of the Bomber Command stations used by the UK and

0:23:560:24:00

its allies - 27 airfields in total.

0:24:000:24:03

Its cathedral provided a landmark for crews,

0:24:050:24:07

both leaving and returning from missions.

0:24:070:24:10

For those who failed to return,

0:24:100:24:12

the cathedral was often their last image of home.

0:24:120:24:15

Over 125,000 men from all over the world served as aircrew in Bomber Command.

0:24:150:24:22

Sadly, more than 55,000 of these men died in the skies above Europe.

0:24:220:24:28

It wasn't just bombing raids that were sent over from Lincolnshire in

0:24:300:24:34

World War II. It was also humanitarian missions.

0:24:340:24:38

Bomber Command delivered the first airborne humanitarian mission,

0:24:380:24:42

Operation Manna.

0:24:420:24:44

I've popped to the International Bomber Command Digital Archive in

0:24:460:24:49

Lincoln, where I have been joined by archive assistant Peter Jones.

0:24:490:24:54

Well, lovely to meet you, Peter.

0:24:540:24:56

Now, tell us a little bit more about this vital mission that took place

0:24:560:25:01

towards the very end of World War II.

0:25:010:25:03

The winter of 1944/45 in Holland was severe.

0:25:030:25:09

The crops were frozen in the ground.

0:25:090:25:11

Between 18,000 and 22,000 Dutch citizens had starved to death.

0:25:110:25:18

Western Holland was still under the iron fist of Nazi Germany.

0:25:180:25:22

3.5 million people were behind the blockade and up to

0:25:220:25:26

a million people were on the point of starvation.

0:25:260:25:29

Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands pleaded with the Allies for help.

0:25:300:25:35

A meeting was arranged with the German commanders,

0:25:360:25:40

and a delegation consisted of Prince Bernhard of Holland

0:25:400:25:44

and Air Commodore Andrew Geddes, representing the Allies.

0:25:440:25:49

-What was the outcome?

-The outcome was Operation Manna.

0:25:490:25:52

Operation Manna was the first ever humanitarian air drop.

0:25:530:25:57

Commencing on the 29th April 1945,

0:25:570:26:01

the UK and its allies flew over targets in Holland,

0:26:010:26:05

dropping over 12,000 tons of food.

0:26:050:26:08

Many of these sorties were recorded flying at a mere 500 feet from the ground.

0:26:090:26:14

Now we've got a couple of items here from the mission itself.

0:26:140:26:18

So, what are we looking at?

0:26:180:26:20

This is the log book of an air gunner,

0:26:200:26:23

and it shows here two Operation Manna flights to Rotterdam,

0:26:230:26:28

and you can see quite clearly they are marked at the altitude of 500 feet.

0:26:280:26:32

Yes. Sobering, very sobering.

0:26:340:26:37

Now what about this item?

0:26:370:26:38

It lifts up, does it? What have we got in here?

0:26:380:26:41

Yes, this is a navigator's dead reckoning computer.

0:26:410:26:44

This enables the navigator to plot changes in direction,

0:26:440:26:48

wind speed and wind direction, etc.

0:26:480:26:50

This is quite a complicated bit of kit,

0:26:500:26:53

-and it would have taken the navigators quite some time to learn how to use this.

-Yes.

0:26:530:26:58

-Do you use it yourself from time to time?

-No, I've no idea!

0:26:580:27:01

So how and why did the mission end?

0:27:030:27:05

The operation itself lasted for ten days.

0:27:050:27:08

5,500 missions were flown, and 12,000 tons of food were dropped.

0:27:080:27:13

The Dutch resistance took over control of the area,

0:27:130:27:17

and shortly afterwards,

0:27:170:27:18

8,500 tons of food was delivered by Canadian troops.

0:27:180:27:23

A truly remarkable story, Peter. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

0:27:230:27:27

Now people at home can actually get involved with

0:27:270:27:30

the International Bomber Command Project, can't they?

0:27:300:27:33

We are very interested in hearing the stories of anyone that was involved

0:27:330:27:38

with the bombing war. We're also eager to preserve documents, photographs, digitally.

0:27:380:27:43

So that this remarkable story can be preserved for generations to come.

0:27:430:27:48

Best of luck with that.

0:27:480:27:50

Well, for further details, visit our website, but now,

0:27:500:27:53

we're about to fly off to the auction.

0:27:530:27:56

Well, we've come up country.

0:28:040:28:06

We've come up to the fair city of Lincoln

0:28:060:28:08

and the brand-new premises of Golding, Young and Mawer,

0:28:080:28:12

and I am joined today by none other than Kirsty Young,

0:28:120:28:15

so thank you for having us.

0:28:150:28:17

-Thank you for coming.

-Well, we're delighted.

0:28:170:28:19

Let's get on with the Red team, shall we?

0:28:190:28:21

Their first item is an Elizabeth II silver sherry label.

0:28:210:28:27

-What do you make of that?

-Nice piece,

0:28:270:28:29

we've given it an auction estimate of £25-40.

0:28:290:28:33

It's a good label. The enamel work on it will help it stand above the

0:28:330:28:36

other silver labels at the moment.

0:28:360:28:37

Excellent. Well, they paid £10 for it, so they could be quids in there,

0:28:370:28:40

-couldn't they?

-Good job. Yes.

0:28:400:28:42

The next item is a sort of treacle glazed pottery boot.

0:28:420:28:46

What's the market like for that sort of thing?

0:28:460:28:48

Market, again, we've given it an estimate of £25-40.

0:28:480:28:52

As you said, multiple uses.

0:28:520:28:54

They do use it as a flask, but obviously it is missing the stopper.

0:28:540:28:57

OK. Cost £15, so again, a good buy.

0:28:570:29:00

-A good buy, yes.

-So the third item are the three rearing horses,

0:29:000:29:05

which I see you have described as white metal.

0:29:050:29:08

Yes, absolutely. Because of hallmarking regulations,

0:29:080:29:11

they are just stamped 925.

0:29:110:29:13

Unless they have a full UK hallmark,

0:29:130:29:15

we aren't allowed to describe them as silver,

0:29:150:29:18

but with white metal and the fact they're stamped 925,

0:29:180:29:21

everybody will know what they are.

0:29:210:29:23

-The estimate there?

-We've given them 40-60.

0:29:230:29:27

The equestrian market is a strong market,

0:29:270:29:29

so I wouldn't be surprised if they did a little better than that.

0:29:290:29:31

Well, they punched a little bit higher than that, at 70,

0:29:310:29:34

but they're in with a good chance.

0:29:340:29:36

They're in with a chance, absolutely.

0:29:360:29:38

So, two highs, one low, not too bad.

0:29:380:29:41

Either way, I think the bonus buy is going to be well worth considering so

0:29:410:29:46

let's go and have a look at it.

0:29:460:29:48

I've got to say that you two were not the last of the big spenders,

0:29:480:29:51

-were you, come on?

-No.

0:29:510:29:53

A very tidy spend.

0:29:530:29:54

-Yes, I think so.

-You two left Charles a whacking big £205 worth of leftover lolly.

0:29:540:30:00

So it'll be interesting to know what the man went out and bought.

0:30:000:30:05

Eric, when there is love in the air,

0:30:050:30:06

you almost want to see a couple almost replicated in an image.

0:30:060:30:11

And here we are.

0:30:110:30:12

What we have here, team, they are almost like a courting couple.

0:30:120:30:16

They are carvings, maybe embellishments, off a piece of furniture,

0:30:160:30:19

maybe a large, elaborate court cupboard or something of that type

0:30:190:30:23

from the 17th or 18th centuries.

0:30:230:30:26

I quite like them.

0:30:260:30:27

Can I have a feel?

0:30:270:30:28

-Of course you can.

-I think they're really interesting actually.

0:30:280:30:32

-And how much did you pay for this?

-Well, what do you think?

0:30:320:30:35

£45.

0:30:350:30:36

I would pay about £35 for them.

0:30:390:30:41

Well, that's life!

0:30:410:30:43

They cost me £205.

0:30:430:30:46

-Wow.

-Because one's got to speculate to accumulate.

0:30:460:30:50

Who knows? They might make 100, they could make 300.

0:30:500:30:54

-Eric, any comments?

-No,

0:30:550:30:57

only as far as I think they're fabulous but I'm slightly biased.

0:30:570:31:01

But I think it's worth remembering that you don't have to make that

0:31:010:31:04

decision about your bonus buy until

0:31:040:31:06

after the sale of your first three items.

0:31:060:31:08

So let's find out what our auctioneer has to say about Charles's big spend.

0:31:080:31:14

So, here's the bonus buy.

0:31:160:31:18

Interesting. Nicely carved.

0:31:180:31:21

Described as caryatids or maybe therms.

0:31:220:31:25

So what are your thoughts, Kirsty?

0:31:250:31:26

Nice pieces. They obviously used to be used as a pillar supports or

0:31:260:31:30

something like that. We've given

0:31:300:31:33

them an auction estimate of £80-120 so

0:31:330:31:35

we'll see how it goes.

0:31:350:31:37

Well, our Charles Hanson went out and spent £205.

0:31:370:31:40

In fact, he spent the lot.

0:31:400:31:42

So quite a big buy but they are early and you never know, do you?

0:31:420:31:46

Absolutely, at auction you never know.

0:31:460:31:49

OK. Well, that's the Reds. Let's move over to the Blues.

0:31:490:31:52

So, item number one is the mid-20th century croquet set.

0:31:520:31:57

Croquet, big in Lincolnshire?

0:31:570:31:59

I think it's still popular everywhere, isn't it?

0:31:590:32:02

We put an auction estimate on it of £40-60

0:32:020:32:04

so it stands a good chance at that.

0:32:040:32:07

Well, they paid 30 so yeah, they are in with a chance.

0:32:070:32:10

The next item is the early 20th century TG Green Cornishware.

0:32:100:32:16

They're still a very popular item.

0:32:160:32:18

We see a lot of them through the sales so we've given it an auction

0:32:180:32:21

estimate of £20-30 and with that there should be a good,

0:32:210:32:24

strong buyer base for it.

0:32:240:32:26

They actually went out and they spent £32 so we are in a comfort zone

0:32:260:32:30

-there, aren't we?

-Yes.

-And then we've got the Poole Delphis dish.

0:32:300:32:35

Still a very popular piece,

0:32:350:32:37

Poole is obviously a well-known brand within the studio pottery.

0:32:370:32:40

We've given it an auction estimate of £20-30 and there will be the

0:32:400:32:44

collectors out there for it.

0:32:440:32:46

OK, well, they went and spent £33 so again, we are close to the mark,

0:32:460:32:51

-aren't we?

-Absolutely, yeah.

0:32:510:32:53

Having said that, I think it's fair to say that they probably are going to need their bonus buy

0:32:530:32:57

so let's go and have a look at it.

0:32:570:32:59

Well, Blues, you left Tim a sizeable £205 to go out and spend.

0:33:000:33:05

You said you were going to buy toys, cheap and quality.

0:33:050:33:09

-Yes.

-The two don't really go together!

0:33:090:33:12

-They can do.

-Would you like to reveal all?

0:33:120:33:15

I'd love to. Hopefully you'll feel the same.

0:33:150:33:20

-What do you think?

-All right.

-I've got faith in this and I'll tell you why.

0:33:200:33:24

Toy collecting is really flourishing at the moment.

0:33:240:33:27

Tin plate, which this is, have a feel of it, can break the mould,

0:33:270:33:30

it will capture attention.

0:33:300:33:32

It's 1940s, 1950s, Rock Valley, made in Japan.

0:33:320:33:36

What's key with this for me is the condition.

0:33:360:33:39

The battery pack as well, no corrosion so it would work.

0:33:390:33:42

You could take this home, you could play with this tonight if you bought it.

0:33:420:33:45

Brilliant. It's different, it's not what I expected.

0:33:450:33:47

Well, look, if it had a box, that will sell for £100-150.

0:33:470:33:52

What's it going to make without a box?

0:33:520:33:54

I'd like to think it could do 40, maybe a little bit more.

0:33:540:33:57

Fair wind, I don't know.

0:33:570:33:58

-How much did you pay?

-I paid 30.

0:33:580:34:02

It kept the theme, on the day, we were spending about 28, 30.

0:34:020:34:06

OK, boys, well it goes without saying that you don't have to make your

0:34:060:34:09

decision now. Wait till your first three items have been sold and then

0:34:090:34:14

decide if you're going to go for it.

0:34:140:34:16

But meanwhile, let's find out if our auctioneer agrees that Tim's lion

0:34:160:34:20

is going to be a roaring success.

0:34:200:34:22

And here it is.

0:34:240:34:25

There we go. I think it's fair to say that it comes without batteries.

0:34:250:34:30

But you've seen it working.

0:34:300:34:33

Yes, as lions do,

0:34:330:34:34

they sort of go rampant at the back there with their arms up.

0:34:340:34:37

We've put an auction estimate on it of £25-40 so with that we should have

0:34:370:34:41

-a strong market.

-Well, Tim paid £30 so it is a potential goer, isn't it?

0:34:410:34:45

-Absolutely.

-And you're taking the auction today?

0:34:450:34:48

-I will be, yes.

-Let's have a look.

0:34:480:34:51

Safe pair of hands, we're good to go.

0:34:510:34:53

Right, Kirsty, time to run the rostrum and get this sale underway.

0:34:540:34:58

So, first time at an auction?

0:34:590:35:01

-Yes.

-Yes.

0:35:010:35:03

Your first item coming up is your Elizabeth II silver sherry label.

0:35:030:35:08

You paid £10 for it. Pay attention, here we go.

0:35:080:35:10

We are starting with me at £20.

0:35:100:35:13

-We've doubled up.

-20 on the book.

0:35:130:35:16

20 with me, 22, 25, 28 now.

0:35:160:35:19

At 25, 25 with me, 8 anywhere

0:35:190:35:21

8 anywhere in the room?

0:35:210:35:24

Are we all sure? Settling at £25.

0:35:240:35:27

That's a good start, you're already plus £15.

0:35:280:35:32

Next item is the 19th-century treacle glazed boot.

0:35:320:35:37

Remember, you paid £15 for this.

0:35:370:35:39

-Here it comes.

-Who will start the bidding for me at £40?

0:35:390:35:42

£40, surely, nice piece.

0:35:420:35:43

£40? 30 now?

0:35:430:35:46

-30?

-Come on.

0:35:460:35:47

Surely 30.

0:35:470:35:49

20, then. 20 someone bid me for the boot warmer, £20.

0:35:490:35:52

20 I have.

0:35:520:35:54

And two anywhere now? 20 I have and two anywhere in the room.

0:35:540:35:57

20 I have. 22. 22 in the room, 25 anywhere now?

0:35:570:36:02

22 is bid, five anywhere else in the room?

0:36:020:36:07

Are we all sure, then, we're selling in the room at 22?

0:36:070:36:12

£7 profit, OK, that takes us to £22.

0:36:120:36:18

That is your rolling total.

0:36:180:36:20

The next is the three various white metal figures of rearing horses.

0:36:200:36:24

So let's see how we get on, here they are.

0:36:240:36:26

And we're going straight in with me at £50.

0:36:260:36:29

And five anywhere now?

0:36:290:36:30

-50 I have, five anywhere now, 50 is bid, and five, bid 60.

-Good!

0:36:300:36:35

70 anywhere now.

0:36:350:36:36

70 anywhere in the room?

0:36:380:36:39

65 on the net.

0:36:390:36:41

70 anywhere now?

0:36:410:36:42

Are we all sure? 70 bid.

0:36:420:36:44

70 in the room. Five, are you coming back?

0:36:450:36:47

-75.

-We've done it!

0:36:470:36:49

80 bid.

0:36:490:36:50

80 bid at the back.

0:36:510:36:52

85 anywhere now?

0:36:520:36:54

Five, are you coming back on the net?

0:36:550:36:57

80 in the room and five anywhere now?

0:36:570:36:59

Are we all sure then, we're resting at 80.

0:36:590:37:01

-Yes!

-Well done, guys.

0:37:020:37:05

Now, we come to the big decision about the bonus buy.

0:37:080:37:12

We've decided not to go with it.

0:37:120:37:13

NOT to go with it.

0:37:130:37:15

-Not too sure about it.

-Anyway, let's just see how the cookie crumbles.

0:37:150:37:19

And who will start me at £80 for these, please?

0:37:190:37:22

£80. 50, surely?

0:37:220:37:24

£50. 50.

0:37:240:37:25

-Hello.

-40?

0:37:270:37:29

At 40 we have and two anywhere now?

0:37:290:37:31

42, 45, 48, 50 bid.

0:37:310:37:34

Five anywhere now? 50 I have seated.

0:37:340:37:36

-I can't believe it.

-Five anywhere?

0:37:360:37:39

-55.

-Now online, I think online will sit on this, you watch.

0:37:390:37:43

At 60 is bid and five anywhere now?

0:37:430:37:45

-Are we all sure?

-It's a funny old game, you never stop learning!

0:37:450:37:49

Five just in time, you just caught my eye.

0:37:490:37:51

65 on the net and 70 at the back.

0:37:510:37:54

75 now surely.

0:37:540:37:56

We are in the room at 70.

0:37:560:37:58

Sorry, guys, I'm ever so sorry.

0:37:590:38:02

I have to say, Reds, good decision.

0:38:020:38:05

You've heard it all before but when it comes to the Blues,

0:38:050:38:07

you keep schtum, OK?

0:38:070:38:09

-OK, no smiling!

-OK.

0:38:090:38:10

-Off you go.

-Thank you.

0:38:110:38:12

Gentleman, are you regulars to auctions or what?

0:38:170:38:20

No, we're not actually, this is my first time.

0:38:200:38:22

-Your first.

-And it's my first as well actually.

-Really? OK.

0:38:220:38:25

So coming up is your mid-20th century croquet set for which you paid £30.

0:38:250:38:30

Is there enough in the way of profit, that's what we want to know.

0:38:300:38:34

We're just about to find out. Here it is.

0:38:340:38:36

Lots of pre-sale interest in this one

0:38:360:38:38

and we've got multiple commissions

0:38:380:38:39

going straight in with me at £50 with me, and five anywhere now?

0:38:390:38:43

At 55, 60 anywhere now?

0:38:430:38:45

55 in the room.

0:38:450:38:47

And 60, bid five, 65.

0:38:470:38:49

And 70 now? At 65 is bid, 70 anywhere now?

0:38:490:38:52

65 I have in the room.

0:38:520:38:53

70 anywhere now?

0:38:530:38:55

Are we all sure then, are we? In the room at 65.

0:38:550:38:59

£65.

0:38:590:39:02

A nice start, a positive £35.

0:39:020:39:06

So we've got your Cornishware coming up next.

0:39:060:39:09

You paid £32 for it.

0:39:090:39:10

And who will start me at £30 for this one, surely?

0:39:100:39:12

30? 20?

0:39:120:39:15

-Come on.

-Ten? Ten to get us started.

0:39:150:39:17

£10. Ten I have.

0:39:170:39:19

12 anywhere now?

0:39:190:39:20

At ten I have and 12, bid 15, 18, 20.

0:39:200:39:24

Two? 22. 25?

0:39:240:39:27

No. At 22 I have at the back of the room.

0:39:270:39:29

Nervous.

0:39:290:39:31

At 22 I have in the room, are we all sure then, selling at 22.

0:39:310:39:36

What a shame.

0:39:360:39:37

-10 takes us down to a rolling total of plus £25.

0:39:370:39:44

Next up is your Poole pottery Delphis dish, late '60s, '70s,

0:39:440:39:50

summer of love,

0:39:500:39:52

never got as far as Burnley but hey-ho!

0:39:520:39:54

You having paid £33 for it was a pretty good buy. Here it comes.

0:39:560:40:00

And who will start me at £30 for this one?

0:40:000:40:01

Poole, well-known name, £30?

0:40:010:40:04

20? 20, surely.

0:40:040:40:07

-Come on, we want more.

-£20.

0:40:070:40:08

20 we have and two anywhere now?

0:40:080:40:10

20 we have and 22, 25 now surely?

0:40:100:40:14

At 22 I have in the room and five anywhere now?

0:40:140:40:16

At 22 is bid.

0:40:160:40:17

Five anywhere now?

0:40:170:40:19

Are we all sure then, are we selling at the back the room at 22?

0:40:190:40:21

Oh, same price, it gives you -11.

0:40:230:40:28

We are still in profit but we are in there at £14 in the positive.

0:40:290:40:33

OK, do we go for it or do we not go for the bonus buy?

0:40:330:40:37

I think we go for it.

0:40:370:40:38

-We go for it.

-Do you trust me?

-Absolutely.

0:40:380:40:40

OK, as you know, Tim paid £30 for it.

0:40:400:40:42

I can tell you the auction house think 25-40. Here we go.

0:40:420:40:45

A nice, interesting piece and who will start me at £40 for this one?

0:40:450:40:49

£40?

0:40:490:40:50

30, surely.

0:40:500:40:51

£30 for the lion.

0:40:510:40:53

£30. 20?

0:40:530:40:54

£20. 20 we have, and two anywhere now?

0:40:560:41:01

At 20 I have, two anywhere now?

0:41:010:41:03

Are we all sure then, starting and finishing at the same place.

0:41:030:41:07

All sure? Gavel's up.

0:41:070:41:08

That really was a shame.

0:41:090:41:11

-No, Tim, don't be sorry.

-It should have got a bit more than that.

0:41:110:41:14

It should have done, it should have.

0:41:140:41:16

It still leaves you with a positive, we are down to plus four.

0:41:160:41:19

It is a profit.

0:41:190:41:21

We could still win on that.

0:41:210:41:23

We could still win and that could buy me at least a drink!

0:41:230:41:26

Not bad!

0:41:260:41:27

-I'll share it with you!

-I think you might be sharing a pint but anyway,

0:41:280:41:31

not a word to the Reds.

0:41:310:41:33

OK. We'll see you later.

0:41:330:41:35

Well, the good news is, you've all made a profit.

0:41:400:41:43

But there is a runner-up,

0:41:430:41:44

I've got to tell you today that it is the Blue team.

0:41:440:41:47

I'm sorry to tell you, boys, but you made yourselves a very handsome,

0:41:480:41:54

wait for it, four pounds.

0:41:540:41:57

Now in all fairness, Blues, you got off to a cracking start,

0:41:570:41:59

didn't you, with your first item.

0:41:590:42:01

You made yourself £35 and it was all going swimmingly well.

0:42:010:42:05

But I'm afraid there wasn't enough petrol in the engine.

0:42:050:42:09

But a gallant effort, Blues.

0:42:090:42:10

But turning to the Reds, that little smiley face tells me so much!

0:42:100:42:16

I mean, it was one profit after another profit after another.

0:42:160:42:20

But you declined the bonus buy,

0:42:200:42:22

which turned out to be the right decision.

0:42:220:42:25

So you ended up making a profit, a grand profit of £32.

0:42:250:42:30

So there's your winnings.

0:42:300:42:32

-Thank you.

-Well done all round and well done, Charlie.

0:42:320:42:35

-Thank you, Eric.

-Excellent.

0:42:350:42:37

But more importantly, you've both won yourself golden gavels.

0:42:370:42:41

-Wow!

-So what do I say?

0:42:410:42:45

Nice and easy does it, there we go.

0:42:450:42:47

Do you want to do the honours, Charles?

0:42:470:42:49

That's really kind. Exactly!

0:42:490:42:52

If only.

0:42:520:42:53

But as always, the question is, have you had fun?

0:42:530:42:57

-Best time.

-Yes.

-You have indeed and so have we.

0:42:570:43:00
