We've all seen them on TV, but how will the country's

0:00:020:00:05

favourite antiques experts fare when they are challenged to make a profit with their own cash?

0:00:050:00:09

-Excellent.

-He who laughs last, laughs loudest.

0:00:100:00:14

From car boot sales to auction houses, our experts will be

0:00:140:00:19

recreating some of their real-life deals as they go head-to-head

0:00:190:00:23

and try and make the most money for their chosen charities.

0:00:230:00:27

Purchase of the week!

0:00:270:00:28

Fantastic! I'm thrilled with that.

0:00:280:00:31

The challenge to our experts is clear.

0:00:310:00:33

Dealers, Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.

0:00:330:00:36

Today's distinguished dealers are collectibles connoisseur

0:01:070:01:10

Paul "The Man From Morecambe" Hayes and the irrepressible

0:01:100:01:13

Mark "Franksy" Franks.

0:01:130:01:14

I first started trading antiques when I was still at school,

0:01:150:01:19

so I've been doing it, sort of, over ten years(!)

0:01:190:01:21

Mark's no-nonsense approach and determination to win has served him well,

0:01:230:01:28

whether it be trading Trash To Cash or finding hidden treasures on Car Booty.

0:01:280:01:32

His opponent today is a second-generation antique dealer.

0:01:330:01:36

Paul started buying and selling when he was just knee-high to a grasshopper.

0:01:360:01:40

Since then, he's grown up to become a well-dressed and highly-respected expert.

0:01:400:01:44

OK, ready for work.

0:01:440:01:46

Do you know what? I was extremely lucky, actually.

0:01:460:01:48

I got my big break in antiques because my father was interested, and he used to have a little shop

0:01:480:01:53

here in Morecambe and I used to help him out and go to the antique fair.

0:01:530:01:57

Paul can regularly be found hunting for Cash In The Attic or transforming Trash Into Cash.

0:01:570:02:02

It's a shame one's not big enough for Mark Franks.

0:02:030:02:06

That would be good. Throw away the key!

0:02:060:02:08

So, our experts are ready and the stakes are sky-high.

0:02:090:02:13

With reputations at risk, their own hard-earned money on the line

0:02:130:02:16

and their charities wishing them well, it's time for us to find out the aim of today's game.

0:02:160:02:21

Hello, Paul. You all right? I bought the sun from London.

0:02:210:02:24

I said, "Bring me sunshine," coming from Morecambe.

0:02:240:02:27

-Short, fat, hairy legs.

-Thank you(!)

0:02:270:02:29

-I've got this for you.

-OK, thank you.

0:02:290:02:31

Let's have a look. What have we got here?

0:02:310:02:33

-"Mark and Paul. Your challenge today is to spend £750..." Easy.

-Gosh.

0:02:330:02:38

"..of your own money on antiques." Your own money.

0:02:380:02:41

"You must then resell your purchases with the aim of making as much profit as possible."

0:02:410:02:46

-You don't want to make a loss, do you?

-No.

-"The winner is the presenter who makes the most cash."

0:02:460:02:51

-OK. "Today, you must buy all your antiques from..."

-Go on.

0:02:510:02:56

-"..an antique fair."

-Thank goodness it's not a butcher's(!)

-Exactly!

0:02:560:03:00

-I think it's over there, mate.

-Let's go.

0:03:000:03:02

So, the challenge for our experts is to spend up to £750 of their own money at an antiques fair,

0:03:030:03:09

before trying to sell on their purchases for a profit.

0:03:090:03:12

Pretty much everybody that Mark and Paul try to do deals with will know that they're on a mission to make as

0:03:120:03:17

much profit as possible for charity. And our experts will be doing everything in their power

0:03:170:03:22

to get the best prices when they buy and sell the items that they hope will drive them to victory.

0:03:220:03:28

Today's contest will take place at the Peterborough Festival of Antiques.

0:03:280:03:32

In order to win, both Mr Hayes and Franksy

0:03:320:03:35

are going to be looking for quirky and unusual items.

0:03:350:03:38

-All right, John? How are you?

-All right, mate, Mark. How are you?

0:03:400:03:43

-Not bad. Any damage on this?

-No, no damage.

0:03:430:03:46

20 quid. Do a bit better?

0:03:470:03:48

-15.

-Do want a tenner?

-No.

0:03:480:03:51

-15's enough.

-12 quid?

-No.

0:03:510:03:54

15, OK. You got a deal.

0:03:540:03:56

This is what they call a yard of ale.

0:03:590:04:03

So you can fill this up with ale or beer or bitter

0:04:030:04:06

and you drink it. And if you're not careful, it goes all over you.

0:04:060:04:10

15 quid.

0:04:100:04:12

Well, that label is probably worth 15 quid, so I've got the glass for free.

0:04:120:04:17

This will be fun. I don't know how I'm going to sell this

0:04:170:04:19

or what I'm going to do with it, but I think this is an absolute bargain - and I will drink to that.

0:04:190:04:25

Well, it's no wonder Franksy is in high spirits.

0:04:270:04:30

He's got the glass for a knockdown price.

0:04:300:04:32

Inside, Paul's got his hands on a modern collectible.

0:04:350:04:39

You really have to move with the times, don't you?

0:04:400:04:44

I've been buying antiques now for over 20 years,

0:04:440:04:47

so I started my training buying things really from Georgian times,

0:04:470:04:50

the Victorian times. I never really bought much from

0:04:500:04:53

the 1950s and '60s,

0:04:530:04:55

but you can't help but like this stuff. This is called Homemaker,

0:04:550:04:59

made by a firm called Ridgeways. And it's so retro.

0:04:590:05:01

It's so funky, so modern. And that's really where the market is today.

0:05:010:05:05

We have the epitome of British design done in the 1950s and '60s.

0:05:050:05:09

We have a Robin Day chair here at the top,

0:05:090:05:12

a coffee table which is shaped like the Sputnik.

0:05:120:05:15

It's such a fantastic thing. The rock 'n roll era, really.

0:05:150:05:18

These are actually a pair

0:05:180:05:21

and they're on sale here today for £12 the pair.

0:05:210:05:24

And I think they're an absolute bargain.

0:05:240:05:26

Mr Hayes clearly knows his stuff, but the big question is, can he negotiate a discount?

0:05:270:05:33

Now then, sir. Amongst all these lovely antique things,

0:05:330:05:36

-you have these modern 1950s plates.

-Yes.

-What's the best you can do?

0:05:360:05:39

I've got 12 on them. I can do them for 10.

0:05:390:05:41

Great. You haven't got any unusual shapes or any serviette rings or teapots or anything like that?

0:05:410:05:47

I don't think so. Just those really, today.

0:05:470:05:49

-So those are a tenner, that's the best price?

-Yes.

0:05:490:05:52

Right, OK. Is that 10 shillings or £10(?)

0:05:520:05:54

-Pounds, I'm afraid.

-Nice to meet you.

-Thanks.

0:05:540:05:56

Let's give you some money.

0:05:560:05:57

Yes, nice try, Paul.

0:05:590:06:00

A £2 discount might not seem like a huge amount,

0:06:000:06:03

but Mr Hayes is determined to prove what a great deal he got.

0:06:030:06:06

This is a perfect example of why it really does pay to have a look around.

0:06:070:06:11

This is a Homemaker plate, this is exactly the same as the ones

0:06:110:06:14

I've just bought and this is £15. So, it's three times the price!

0:06:140:06:18

So, use your eyes.

0:06:180:06:19

There's no doubt about it, Paul sealed a great deal.

0:06:190:06:22

Elsewhere, the man with the biggest little black book in the business

0:06:220:06:26

has spotted one of his many contacts, and he's swooping in to try and secure another deal.

0:06:260:06:31

Hold up, Gordon. What you got there?

0:06:310:06:32

-Hello, Mark. How are you?

-All right, mate.

0:06:320:06:35

-Nice seeing you.

-What we got?

0:06:350:06:36

-Lots of bike seats.

-10, 12? How many's there? Do you know?

0:06:360:06:40

-There was 13, which is unlucky, so I put another in.

-Ah, great.

0:06:400:06:43

-14. How much?

-100.

-£100. That's a lot of money to me.

0:06:430:06:46

£75.

0:06:460:06:48

-Well, you got yourself a deal.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:06:480:06:51

So, for £75, Mark's sealed another purchase,

0:06:510:06:55

and with today's contest well under way,

0:06:550:06:58

he's sticking to his strategy of snapping up unusual and quirky pieces.

0:06:580:07:02

Of course, he's also keen to poke a little gentle fun at his rival.

0:07:040:07:08

Ah, Paul. Nice hat.

0:07:080:07:10

Mate, I think you're overdoing it with the diet a little bit.

0:07:100:07:14

He might be in a jovial mood, but make no bones about it, Mark's determined to win today.

0:07:140:07:18

And he's hoping he's snapped up some more potentially-profitable items.

0:07:180:07:23

Cobblers.

0:07:230:07:25

They're the sort of people I'm going to sell this sign to.

0:07:250:07:27

Double-sided, Boot Repairs & Sussex Rubbers.

0:07:270:07:30

It's got the little rubber bungs, tiny bit of damage.

0:07:300:07:32

If you've got a good shoe repair shop you'll want this outside.

0:07:320:07:36

Now, this is great fun.

0:07:360:07:38

A banana. Well, what can I say?

0:07:380:07:41

I wanted weird and wonderful and it doesn't get much more than that,

0:07:410:07:45

because it's such an unusual thing.

0:07:450:07:47

I'm going to go to New Covent Garden in London and, hopefully, one of the

0:07:470:07:51

fruit and veg dealers might want this on top of their vehicle. They can then be top banana.

0:07:510:07:55

Now, this sign will be of interest to many publicans and bars.

0:07:550:08:00

There's enough of those in the country, so that should be easy to sell.

0:08:000:08:04

This little parcel here cost me 120.

0:08:040:08:07

Yes, I tried to get it for less, but do you know what?

0:08:070:08:10

I fancy this sign has got to be the best part of that. And the banana?

0:08:100:08:14

Look at that. You could fit that on top of something and you've actually got the bolt to bolt it on.

0:08:140:08:19

It's weird, it's wacky, it's wonderful and it's not made in China.

0:08:190:08:23

Indeed, it's not.

0:08:240:08:26

Paul was looking at pieces of porcelain in the indoor part of the market,

0:08:260:08:30

but it looks as though he's tracked down something out of the ordinary.

0:08:300:08:34

Now then, I think I've found the piece de la resistance today.

0:08:350:08:40

This really is an unusual item.

0:08:400:08:41

What a fantastic piece.

0:08:410:08:43

But it's very symbolic and this is actually really important in Buddhist culture

0:08:430:08:47

and it dates from a guy, I think a writer, from the 14th century.

0:08:470:08:51

And he told the story of a princess who was reincarnated

0:08:510:08:55

and dragged off to the heavens on a horse with five heads.

0:08:550:08:58

Isn't that an amazing story?

0:08:580:09:00

But the quality is absolutely superb.

0:09:000:09:02

We have got the detail here in the carving of the brass work,

0:09:020:09:05

the rosewood base. What a wonderful thing.

0:09:050:09:08

It is on the stall here today for £200.

0:09:080:09:10

I think I can do a bit of a deal, but we are in the lap of the gods, so wish me luck.

0:09:100:09:14

While Paul's hoping for good karma

0:09:170:09:18

as he looks to rustle the five-headed horse for a knockdown price,

0:09:180:09:22

his opponent is looking hard for his next potential buy.

0:09:220:09:26

This is something quite interesting, which is worth having a look at.

0:09:270:09:31

Quite often you will see a chest of drawers like this,

0:09:310:09:34

and it has got a cut down the side.

0:09:340:09:36

Some are made that way, and some have been cut, to get them into smaller houses.

0:09:360:09:41

You have got to appreciate, years ago, when there were tiny,

0:09:410:09:44

tiny cottages, the doors were small, the staircases were narrow,

0:09:440:09:47

and if you wanted to get this upstairs and it would not fit,

0:09:470:09:50

you would chop it in half. It does not actually take away its value at all.

0:09:500:09:54

This is a lovely piece of furniture.

0:09:540:09:56

450 quid, I spoke to Peter, he said he would probably do it for 400.

0:09:560:09:59

It's an investment for the future.

0:09:590:10:01

The chest of drawers might be a good investment,

0:10:010:10:05

but Franksy is not prepared to gamble over half his budget on one item.

0:10:050:10:09

Inside, Mr Morecambe is haggling with the owner of the five-headed horse.

0:10:090:10:15

How much is it?

0:10:150:10:16

-It has got to be 180.

-180?

0:10:180:10:20

-Yes, I mean, that's what I paid, basically, so...

-OK.

0:10:200:10:25

Yes, I don't think Paul is going to fall for the "That's how much I paid for it" line!

0:10:250:10:30

He is determined to get a bargain.

0:10:300:10:33

Can you do any sort of discount at all?

0:10:330:10:35

-I will knock 20 quid off. It's a big lump and I don't really want to take it home.

-160.

0:10:350:10:40

150, we've got a deal.

0:10:400:10:42

-Cash?

-Cash. All right?

0:10:420:10:44

That's smashing, thank you. You haven't a bag, have you?

0:10:440:10:47

Not for that, no.

0:10:470:10:49

It is quite heavy, as well.

0:10:490:10:51

All right, OK, I'll take it. Oh, it is heavy and all.

0:10:510:10:53

So, having shot the dealer's price down in flames, Paul rides away with his five-headed steed.

0:10:560:11:01

Elsewhere in the market, Mark thinks he's found an item that's a cut above the norm.

0:11:010:11:07

-What's the story on this, it is an early one, isn't it?

-1920s.

0:11:070:11:10

-Is it?

-Yes.

-Does it run?

-Yes, well, I have been told it was running.

0:11:100:11:14

Oh, so you're not going to give me a two-year guarantee?

0:11:140:11:17

The petrol smells a bit stale.

0:11:170:11:19

Yes, I think it might need a little bit of love. Nah, be all right.

0:11:190:11:24

I tell you what, this is nice and all. What's the story on that?

0:11:240:11:27

Apparently they were radiator caps, on the top of the radiator, for the lorries.

0:11:270:11:34

-Go on, then, give us a price on the pair.

-That has got to be 185.

0:11:340:11:37

-185.

-That's for the lawnmower, and 20 quid on that.

0:11:370:11:41

I'll tell you what I'm going to do, cos I know that you like these.

0:11:410:11:45

-Oh, yes.

-Look at those. Look.

0:11:450:11:49

-You're salivating now, aren't you?

-What have we got here?

0:11:490:11:53

£160, in cash, and I will bring you back a cup of tea, with two sugars.

0:11:530:11:59

How did you know I wanted two sugars?

0:11:590:12:01

Because you're greedy. Deal?

0:12:010:12:03

-Go on.

-You're a good fella. Right.

0:12:030:12:06

I'll be back later.

0:12:090:12:11

So, for £45 less than the asking price, Mark has bagged a 1920s mower and radiator cap.

0:12:110:12:19

It would appear that Paul Hayes is not the only man who can be bought with a cup of tea.

0:12:190:12:23

-Hello!

-One cup of tea, with two sugars. How about that?

0:12:250:12:29

Thank you very much, sir.

0:12:290:12:30

-You're a man of your word.

-I'll see you later.

0:12:300:12:33

With today's contest well under way,

0:12:330:12:35

it's time to find out who's splashing the cash and who's sinking without a trace.

0:12:350:12:39

Our intrepid experts are allowed to spend up to £750 of their own money at today's antiques fair.

0:12:400:12:46

Paul spent £160 on two items, leaving him with £590 in his kitty.

0:12:460:12:53

Mark has bought seven items, and parted with £370,

0:12:530:12:57

which means he has still got up to £380 left to spend.

0:12:570:13:01

With plenty of cash left in their kitties, there is all to play for,

0:13:050:13:08

so the time has come for our experts to put their hands in their pockets

0:13:080:13:12

and part with their cash.

0:13:120:13:14

What about this?

0:13:160:13:17

This is the most exciting thing I have seen here today -

0:13:170:13:20

a rusty old clock.

0:13:200:13:22

This was originally on a building at the seaside near Clacton,

0:13:220:13:26

hence the rust.

0:13:260:13:28

It is about 50 years old.

0:13:280:13:31

You can change the hands with this little thing here.

0:13:310:13:34

And what's so interesting about this clock is, a bit like Paul Hayes,

0:13:340:13:37

it's got two faces!

0:13:370:13:40

Have you ever seen anything like it in your life?

0:13:400:13:42

I haven't. And the other thing that's really exciting

0:13:420:13:45

on this stall is this, this old bronze bell.

0:13:450:13:50

And I think it's time to do some haggling.

0:13:500:13:53

Whilst Mark's prepares for a face-off with the owner of the clock,

0:13:530:13:58

Paul has found a couple of items that are out of this world.

0:13:580:14:02

I have found two watches, and they both have a Russian interest,

0:14:020:14:06

but they also have a space-travel interest.

0:14:060:14:09

And the first one here depicts the Sputnik satellite.

0:14:090:14:12

That was launched in 1957, so this is a period watch.

0:14:120:14:16

That's £45. Sounds quite cheap, doesn't it, really?

0:14:160:14:19

And this one has a picture of a very famous astronaut called Yuri Gagarin,

0:14:190:14:23

and he was the very first man to orbit the Earth, in 1961.

0:14:230:14:28

I think, potentially, we have got two collectors.

0:14:280:14:31

Those interested in the space race, and interested in watches.

0:14:310:14:34

I'm going to see how much I can get these two for.

0:14:340:14:37

I spotted an Omega as well, which is quite a good,

0:14:370:14:39

so I'm going to have a word with Philip.

0:14:390:14:41

-Philip, how are you, all right?

-Very well, thanks.

0:14:410:14:44

Can you do a price on those two for me?

0:14:440:14:46

I like this, which is not so much run-of-the-mill,

0:14:460:14:49

but this is a good quality watch that you come across quite a lot.

0:14:490:14:52

Well, we've got 265 on that, and 90 on these two.

0:14:520:14:56

Well, buy the Omega and I'll put these two in,

0:14:560:14:58

that makes it 265 for the three.

0:14:580:15:00

Shall we shake on that?

0:15:000:15:01

SPEAKS RUSSIAN: As they say in Russia.

0:15:010:15:04

-Indeed.

-Thank you very much. I have got to give you some money.

0:15:040:15:07

So, Paul has boldly haggled and got an out-of-this-world deal.

0:15:070:15:11

Three watches for the price of one.

0:15:110:15:13

Thank you very much.

0:15:150:15:17

Elsewhere in the market,

0:15:170:15:18

Mark has been trekking around, searching for more potentially-profitable items,

0:15:180:15:23

and he is hoping to use bare-faced cheek

0:15:230:15:25

to bag the two-faced clock and bell.

0:15:250:15:28

-Hello, Paula, how are you?

-All right, thank you.

0:15:280:15:31

I have spotted something in your van.

0:15:310:15:33

I'm going to do you a favour,

0:15:330:15:34

I'll buy it off you and get rid of that rusty clock.

0:15:340:15:37

Oh, is that right? That's a really good clock,

0:15:370:15:39

that's the best thing on the field.

0:15:390:15:41

That clock is so interesting.

0:15:410:15:43

I like the clock, how much is it?

0:15:430:15:45

-Er, 250.

-250, £2.50?

0:15:450:15:49

Oi! 250!

0:15:490:15:51

What about that old bell?

0:15:510:15:53

The bell? 75.

0:15:530:15:56

Yeah, sounds like this lady has heard it all before,

0:15:560:15:59

but will Franks' cheeky haggling style pay off?

0:15:590:16:02

So, come on, what's the best on the pair?

0:16:020:16:05

Er, 250. I will do you 250.

0:16:050:16:07

-250 the pair?

-Yeah.

0:16:070:16:10

I can't say no, can I?

0:16:100:16:12

Always a good deal, you know that,

0:16:120:16:14

-that's why you keep coming back.

-I know.

0:16:140:16:17

-And cash, Mark, that's unusual.

-I know.

0:16:170:16:19

There is no stopping our Battersea boy -

0:16:190:16:22

he bagged the clock and effectively got the bell for free.

0:16:220:16:25

What a result!

0:16:250:16:27

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

-I will come and pick them up later.

0:16:270:16:30

OK, that's wonderful.

0:16:300:16:31

Inside, Paul has also been splashing the cash,

0:16:310:16:36

and he has bought something he thinks will

0:16:360:16:38

turn the tide on today's contest.

0:16:380:16:40

Do you know what? I am so excited today, I think

0:16:400:16:43

I have found a wonderful painting, this really could be a show-stopper.

0:16:430:16:47

What we have got here is a 19th century seascape.

0:16:470:16:50

With me coming from Morecambe, the seaside, it fits in.

0:16:500:16:53

If you look carefully, this has been beautifully painted.

0:16:530:16:58

Can you imagine the time it has taken to do?

0:16:580:17:00

You have got this wonderful rustic scene along the coast here,

0:17:000:17:04

you've got these people winching in the boats.

0:17:040:17:06

It's a very pleasing picture, and I'm sure somebody would love it.

0:17:060:17:09

But that isn't really the reason why I bought it.

0:17:090:17:12

With paintings, it is all about the artist.

0:17:120:17:15

On the back here, there is a little label tells us all about it.

0:17:150:17:18

And this dates from 1968, and it says that under ultraviolet light,

0:17:180:17:22

the name Hardy appears, and it says here,

0:17:220:17:25

Thomas Bush Hardy, 1842 to 1897.

0:17:250:17:31

And he painted around Folkestone and all over Europe. It is dated 1875.

0:17:310:17:35

Now, that artist is very well-known in the watercolour world.

0:17:350:17:39

He painted Italy, France, the south coast,

0:17:390:17:43

mainly around the sea areas, but he has a huge following.

0:17:430:17:46

He was a serious artist, he exhibited everywhere, and his paintings,

0:17:460:17:50

believe it or not, can go into the thousands.

0:17:500:17:53

So I've paid £325 for this.

0:17:530:17:56

I took a gamble, but if it goes into the thousands,

0:17:560:17:58

I can't wait to see Mark's face, can you?

0:17:580:18:02

Well, I think we can all take a pretty good guess as to how Mark

0:18:020:18:05

will feel if Paul manages to sell the painting for big money.

0:18:050:18:10

With Paul having splashed out on that purchase,

0:18:100:18:13

it's time now to find out just how much our experts have spent.

0:18:130:18:17

Mark and Paul were allowed to spend up to £750

0:18:180:18:22

of their own money at today's antiques market.

0:18:220:18:25

Paul spent his entire budget on six items.

0:18:250:18:28

Mark, on the other hand, has bought just nine items and spent £620.

0:18:290:18:34

Both experts have used all of their contacts

0:18:340:18:37

and know-how to buy the pieces they think will make them the most money.

0:18:370:18:41

But before they head home,

0:18:410:18:43

they are keen to cast an inquisitive eye over their opponent's wares.

0:18:430:18:47

How much money did you have?

0:18:470:18:49

I spent everything.

0:18:490:18:51

You've spend everything? You've got two plates, an empty box, a smudge and...

0:18:510:18:55

-A what?

-A smudge, a picture.

0:18:550:18:57

A picture. But you know, mate, I always have something up my sleeve.

0:18:570:19:01

You've got three watches, all with different times. They're nice.

0:19:010:19:05

-This picture is actually a watercolour. A good artist.

-Not a print, no?

0:19:050:19:09

Not a print, I think that's a winner.

0:19:090:19:11

That is a winner, I like that, that's really good. Do you want to see what I bought?

0:19:110:19:16

-I can see from here, look at that!

-Fancy a brew?

0:19:160:19:18

A yard of ale, in fact.

0:19:180:19:19

15 quid, Whitefriars, I think that's an absolute winner.

0:19:190:19:23

-You could fill that up with tea and have a party.

-No!

0:19:230:19:26

What about this clock here?

0:19:260:19:28

-A two-faced clock.

-That's really good.

0:19:280:19:30

I'll sell it to the Houses of Parliament.

0:19:300:19:32

-What is it about the saddles?

-There's 14 saddles in there.

0:19:320:19:36

They are all from the 1920s and 1930s.

0:19:360:19:39

When they have had a bit of love, and perhaps a magic wand,

0:19:390:19:42

-they'll be very saleable.

-Right, OK.

0:19:420:19:44

-Give us a hand.

-No, you're all right.

0:19:440:19:46

-It looks a bit heavy.

-Cheers, thanks, Paul(!)

0:19:460:19:48

So, after a busy buying expedition, our experts will now

0:19:480:19:53

have to sell their items for the biggest possible profit.

0:19:530:19:56

Mark's chances of victory rest on a Whitefriars yard glass,

0:19:560:20:01

two signs, a giant banana,

0:20:010:20:04

14 vintage leather bike saddles,

0:20:040:20:07

a 1920s Atco lawnmower and radiator cap,

0:20:070:20:12

a two-faced clock from Clacton-on-Sea and a bronze bell.

0:20:120:20:16

Paul, meanwhile, will be trying to cash in on a pair of Homemaker plates,

0:20:170:20:22

a brass and rosewood Buddhist sculpture,

0:20:220:20:24

three wristwatches and a Thomas Bush Hardy 19th-century watercolour.

0:20:240:20:30

So, after a real clash of the titans at the Peterborough Antiques Market,

0:20:340:20:38

Paul and Mark have gone their separate ways

0:20:380:20:41

to try and sell their items.

0:20:410:20:43

They will pull out all the stops to find the right buyers for their goods,

0:20:430:20:47

and they are working their way through their little black books, putting deals together.

0:20:470:20:51

But until they have shaken on it,

0:20:510:20:54

and money has changed hands, no deal is done.

0:20:540:20:57

Mark needs to get his lawnmower up and running,

0:20:570:21:00

so he's called in a favour from his friend Rex.

0:21:000:21:03

Rex! Rex!

0:21:040:21:07

Yes, yes. Mark!

0:21:070:21:09

Goodness me, what have you brought me here?

0:21:090:21:12

Do you know, an Atco, this is a bit of quality,

0:21:120:21:15

for once you've brought me some good stuff here.

0:21:150:21:17

I tell you what, that was made by

0:21:170:21:19

what was the Pugh's company, Pugh.

0:21:190:21:22

That was made... This chap used to have this company,

0:21:220:21:25

in the First World War they used to make small components,

0:21:250:21:28

and he started making chains.

0:21:280:21:29

Because Atco is the Atlas Chain Company, you see?

0:21:290:21:34

Rex, can you get it going, yes or no?

0:21:340:21:36

-Well, of course, it is an Atco!

-Go and get your tools!

0:21:360:21:39

Now, that's not something you see very often -

0:21:390:21:42

Mark Franks struggling to get a word in edgeways.

0:21:420:21:46

Rex clearly knows his stuff and he seems

0:21:460:21:48

pretty confident that he can breathe new life into Mark's lawnmower.

0:21:480:21:52

In Morecambe, Paul has hatched a plan

0:21:520:21:54

to try and maximise the profits on his painting.

0:21:540:21:56

Do you remember this painting?

0:21:560:21:58

I really like this painting, actually.

0:21:580:22:01

It is a seascape, it is really well done,

0:22:010:22:03

it is a nice watercolour, very visual item. And it is of Folkestone.

0:22:030:22:07

I have decided to do with this is actually send it down

0:22:070:22:10

to Folkestone, there is a nice auction house there,

0:22:100:22:12

that gives it its best chance to sell. Let's see how it goes.

0:22:120:22:15

It might not be plain sailing, but let's hope it is not too heavy a sea.

0:22:150:22:19

The painting will be sold on the south coast, where it was originally painted.

0:22:210:22:25

He has to allow for the auctioneer's commission,

0:22:250:22:28

so he needs to sell it for more than £400 to make a profit.

0:22:280:22:32

He has also decided to take a leap of faith by entering his Buddhist statue of a five-headed horse

0:22:320:22:37

into one of his local auction houses in Liverpool.

0:22:370:22:40

There is a temple in Angkor Wat in Cambodia which has a symbol

0:22:430:22:47

with the five-headed horse, so, there is lots of interest, hopefully.

0:22:470:22:52

As we're in a big city, that is the sort of thing people will understand,

0:22:520:22:55

and if a few people take a fancy to this, let's see how we get on.

0:22:550:22:59

It could go either way.

0:22:590:23:00

We will see if Paul's auction strategy pays off shortly.

0:23:000:23:05

In the Hampshire countryside, after a lot of tinkering...

0:23:050:23:09

-Wahey!

-He-hey!

0:23:090:23:12

-Look at that!

-Brilliant!

0:23:140:23:16

BENNY HILL THEME TUNE PLAYS

0:23:160:23:19

Running like a dream, and it is all thanks to pal Rex.

0:23:240:23:27

All Mark needs to do now is sell it.

0:23:270:23:30

In London, Paul is hoping to sell one of the job lots

0:23:320:23:34

of watches he bought for £265.

0:23:340:23:37

He has e-mailed a picture of the watch to a dealer,

0:23:370:23:39

but until they have shaken hands and the dealer has handed over the cash,

0:23:390:23:44

the sale is far from done.

0:23:440:23:46

Hello. Hi, is it Jonathan?

0:23:470:23:49

-Yes, Paul, how are you doing?

-Pleased to meet you.

0:23:490:23:51

-You have seen a photograph of this already.

-Yes.

0:23:510:23:53

-But here she is, this is an absolute beauty.

-OK.

0:23:530:23:56

Omega, are Omega watches quite good at the moment?

0:23:560:23:59

They are, yes, especially at the moment.

0:23:590:24:01

It's a little bit worn on the bracelet,

0:24:010:24:04

but that means it has had a good owner, I suppose.

0:24:040:24:06

Automatic Cosmic 2000.

0:24:060:24:08

It is a Swiss automatic watch. It doesn't have a battery in it.

0:24:080:24:11

-OK.

-So, from my point of view, it is a real watch.

0:24:110:24:14

With a battery inside, it's...

0:24:140:24:17

Microchips and electronics and...

0:24:170:24:20

This has a heart, you know?

0:24:200:24:22

It was when they were making battery-powered watches,

0:24:220:24:25

but this is an old mechanical movement.

0:24:250:24:28

That's what we look for. We look for real Swiss technology.

0:24:280:24:31

I'm the same, things that tick rather than just a pulse.

0:24:310:24:34

-Yes.

-Do you think it was made in 2000 or do you know anything about it?

0:24:340:24:38

No, I know the Cosmic, and it was mainly, I think,

0:24:380:24:41

from my knowledge, is the case construction.

0:24:410:24:44

It was a very difficult watch to get into, it was highly waterproof,

0:24:440:24:49

-anti-magnetic, anti-shock, you know?

-Brilliant.

0:24:490:24:52

Probably originally sold for

0:24:520:24:55

-£25 to £30, in about 1972 to '75.

-OK.

0:24:550:25:02

So, it has come up a bit.

0:25:020:25:04

-Is that the sort of watch you're interested in?

-Yes.

0:25:040:25:07

It's nice, it's got the box. We always check under here to see

0:25:070:25:11

if there's any paperwork, but this time there's not. The box is probably for ladies' watch,

0:25:110:25:16

the ring being small. But it's still an Omega box.

0:25:160:25:19

The dealer sounds interested, but can Mr Hayes seal a deal?

0:25:200:25:25

Now, remember, Mr Franks was planning to sell his banana

0:25:250:25:29

to a fruit and veg trader in Covent Garden Market in London.

0:25:290:25:33

But he has had a change of heart,

0:25:330:25:35

and he is headed to meet a hotel owner he knows in Brighton.

0:25:350:25:39

Remember, Mark paid £120 for the banana

0:25:390:25:42

and two signs at the antiques fair.

0:25:420:25:44

What do you say about that?!

0:25:440:25:46

I've had a lot of interest in it from a lot of people,

0:25:520:25:54

but I thought, big banana, Mark, it just seemed so right.

0:25:540:25:58

The decor is so smart, classy and stunning,

0:25:580:26:01

that this banana, I think, will fit in well.

0:26:010:26:04

Hang on a minute, that banana is a lot of things, but smart and classy?

0:26:040:26:09

Might be pushing it a bit.

0:26:090:26:10

Franksy, though, is undeterred.

0:26:100:26:13

You have got the style and the taste

0:26:130:26:14

to appreciate such a unique, weird and wonderful item.

0:26:140:26:19

And the stupidity. Um, but yeah...

0:26:190:26:22

What d'you mean, stupidity? I would like £200 for that.

0:26:220:26:24

-Would you, indeed?

-Yes!

0:26:240:26:26

I think, Mark, £200 is a little bit outside my budget, or a fair bit.

0:26:260:26:30

Get your hands on it first, Mark, before you say no.

0:26:300:26:33

-It is a whopper, isn't it? It is a whopper.

-It is!

0:26:330:26:37

But so is £200.

0:26:370:26:39

Right, OK, make me an offer, Mark, come on.

0:26:390:26:41

130, that's the final offer.

0:26:410:26:44

I don't haggle, that's it, Mark.

0:26:440:26:47

-Will you throw in a nice cup of coffee?

-No sugar?

0:26:470:26:51

Correct, he remembers! How good is that?

0:26:510:26:53

We've got a deal.

0:26:530:26:54

Incredible. The giant banana might not be smart or classy,

0:26:590:27:03

but Mark's selling pitch certainly was.

0:27:030:27:06

And £130 is a real result.

0:27:060:27:08

Having paid £120 for the banana and two signs,

0:27:080:27:11

Mr Franks is already £10 up,

0:27:110:27:13

so everything he makes from the other two sales will be pure profit.

0:27:130:27:18

It was quite a challenge to find the right man

0:27:180:27:21

to appreciate my large banana.

0:27:210:27:24

But I now think it's definitely in safe hands.

0:27:240:27:27

Well, I can't sit here any longer. I have more selling to do.

0:27:270:27:30

Come on, let's get going.

0:27:300:27:32

Well, credit to Mark for spotting that that banana was ripe for a profit.

0:27:320:27:37

In the capital, Paul is working hard

0:27:370:27:39

to close a sale on the first of his three watches.

0:27:390:27:42

What d'you expect to get for it?

0:27:440:27:45

I was hoping for around the 300 mark.

0:27:450:27:47

I was working on a third of the cost of a new one.

0:27:470:27:50

-Are you prepared to be disappointed or...?

-Of course I am.

0:27:500:27:54

It stands at £200, but a profit would be fantastic.

0:27:540:27:57

I think you're in for a small profit. I could go to 240.

0:27:570:28:00

What if I throw the box in, does that make any difference, say 250?

0:28:000:28:04

I can go to 250, yeah.

0:28:040:28:05

-Excellent, sounds like a deal to me.

-Nice to see you, Paul.

-Cosmic!

0:28:050:28:10

Paul has squeezed as much as possible

0:28:100:28:13

out of that negotiation, and he is a happy man.

0:28:130:28:15

He might have sealed a deal, but having paid £265 for all

0:28:150:28:19

three watches, Paul has still got work to do before he is in profit.

0:28:190:28:23

He needs to knuckle down, because Mark is in fighting mood.

0:28:230:28:28

Morecambe. Eric Morecambe came from Morecambe. Bring me sunshine.

0:28:280:28:33

Well, I've got sunshine in Brighton, I don't need to go to Morecambe.

0:28:330:28:36

With plates and watches and bits and bobs. Agh!

0:28:360:28:40

Yes, they might be friends, but something tells me

0:28:400:28:43

they're both desperate to win today's clash.

0:28:430:28:46

And Mark moves his selling up a gear by offloading

0:28:460:28:48

the radiator cap for £50.

0:28:480:28:50

Remember, he bought the radiator cap as part of a joint deal with a lawnmower for £160,

0:28:520:28:57

so £50 from this deal puts him well on the way to profit.

0:28:570:29:02

But Franksy's not done yet, and he's headed

0:29:040:29:06

to another contact to try and sell one of his signs.

0:29:060:29:09

-Hello, Kev, how's it going?

-Nice to see you. All right?

0:29:100:29:13

I'm all right, I've got no boots, no shoes today.

0:29:130:29:16

But I know you like a bit of this, what d'you reckon of that?

0:29:160:29:19

That is lovely. Lovely condition.

0:29:190:29:22

And it is a double-sider.

0:29:220:29:24

-Are you interested in buying it?

-In that condition, definitely, yes.

0:29:240:29:29

-I was looking for about 90 quid.

-I think a sign like that, about £30.

0:29:290:29:34

It's hard work, isn't it?

0:29:340:29:36

-70 quid?

-£50.

-60?

0:29:360:29:38

-No, I'm going to stick at 50.

-55?

0:29:380:29:41

I will give you £50, and I will do your red stilettos free of charge.

0:29:410:29:45

Keep that one quiet! Kev, you've got yourself a deal.

0:29:450:29:48

-Good man, thank you.

-Lovely, thank you.

0:29:480:29:50

I'm sure he looks lovely in his red stilettos.

0:29:500:29:53

-There we go, thank you very much.

-See you soon.

0:29:530:29:55

Don't forget your stilettos!

0:29:550:29:57

Having made another sale,

0:29:570:29:58

Franksy is looking favourite to win today's competition.

0:29:580:30:01

The pressure is beginning to build on Paul.

0:30:010:30:04

Mr Morecambe hasn't made any profit so far, but he has arranged

0:30:040:30:08

to meet one of his contacts to try and sell his two remaining watches.

0:30:080:30:13

Ah! Hello, Glenn.

0:30:130:30:14

Hi, Paul, how are you?

0:30:140:30:16

-How is the emporium? Looking good.

-Not so bad.

0:30:160:30:19

-A couple of watches to show you.

-Let's have a look.

0:30:190:30:21

This is where you do your business?

0:30:210:30:24

You always have something interesting, Paul.

0:30:240:30:27

Don't expect a Rolex or your Breitlings or that sort of thing.

0:30:270:30:31

This is something different.

0:30:310:30:32

These are Russian cosmonaut-inspired watches.

0:30:320:30:35

This one here, do you recognise that fella?

0:30:350:30:38

-Er, Yuri Gagarin, is it?

-That's right.

0:30:380:30:41

That's to commemorate the first man in space.

0:30:410:30:44

That one there, do you recognise it?

0:30:440:30:46

I don't, actually, what's that?

0:30:460:30:47

That's the Sputnik satellite.

0:30:470:30:49

-So, that actually could be a bit earlier. 1950s.

-Yeah.

0:30:490:30:52

How rare are items like this?

0:30:520:30:54

Up until recently, they were quite rare because outside Russia

0:30:540:30:58

you didn't see any Russian goods, sort of thing.

0:30:580:31:01

In the modern world, with the internet,

0:31:010:31:03

and because the Iron Curtain is not there the same way,

0:31:030:31:06

there's more Russian merchandise around.

0:31:060:31:08

They were probably worth more years ago

0:31:080:31:10

than they are actually worth now, because there's more about.

0:31:100:31:14

What's the market like for space memorabilia?

0:31:140:31:17

Do you get lots of people coming in?

0:31:170:31:19

Strangely enough, we haven't had anybody this week!

0:31:190:31:22

-Really?!

-But usually, they are coming in all the time, you know!

0:31:220:31:26

A few people spaced out?!

0:31:260:31:27

So, is this the sort of thing that you would be interested in?

0:31:270:31:32

Yes, they are interesting, really, they are a bit different.

0:31:320:31:35

-They don't look to be in bad condition.

-No, they're all working.

0:31:350:31:38

He's managed to make the shop owner smile,

0:31:380:31:41

and he sounds interested, but Paul desperately needs to make a sale.

0:31:410:31:46

In London, Mark is trying to sell his second sign to a pub landlord.

0:31:480:31:53

What about two £20 notes?

0:31:530:31:56

I think that's still a bit much. How about I give you 20?

0:31:560:31:59

-And a fiver?

-Er, about 20.

0:31:590:32:02

Er... I'll tell you what, you've got yourself a deal.

0:32:040:32:07

-Excellent.

-And a sign.

-And a sign, brilliant.

0:32:070:32:10

-How about that?

-£20, done.

0:32:130:32:15

You're a star. Take care, cheers.

0:32:150:32:18

That sale has given Mark a final profit of £80 on his

0:32:180:32:21

job lot of three items, putting him firmly in the lead.

0:32:210:32:25

Despite having already secured one sale,

0:32:250:32:28

Paul is yet to make a profit on his three watches,

0:32:280:32:30

but he's working hard to seal a deal for the remaining two.

0:32:300:32:34

I was going to ask you a million roubles,

0:32:340:32:36

but I'm not sure how much it is.

0:32:360:32:39

But I was thinking about the £60 mark each.

0:32:390:32:43

I think if we call it £50 apiece, which leaves us a bit of leeway,

0:32:430:32:48

to obviously get them fixed, et cetera, Paul.

0:32:480:32:50

Right, well, I think you're in the right orbit.

0:32:500:32:54

It is not out of this world.

0:32:540:32:56

-Is that a deal?

-That's a deal.

-OK, thank you very much. M says hello.

0:32:570:33:01

Always a pleasure.

0:33:010:33:03

His jokes might not be the best - well, actually,

0:33:030:33:05

they are terrible - but that's a brilliant deal for Paul,

0:33:050:33:09

and he has made an £85 profit on his three watches.

0:33:090:33:12

Paul has racked up £350 worth of sales,

0:33:190:33:22

and banked £85 worth of profit.

0:33:220:33:25

Mark, on the other hand,

0:33:250:33:27

has sold £250 worth of goods and has £80 in his profit pot.

0:33:270:33:32

With everything still to play for, our experts have hit the road

0:33:360:33:40

in an effort to sell their remaining items.

0:33:400:33:42

Mark is on his way to see his pal Rex.

0:33:420:33:45

-How is the lawnmower?

-Coming along very well.

0:33:480:33:50

-Today, I have been tinkering with it.

-Let's see.

0:33:500:33:53

I have given it a good polish and shine.

0:33:530:33:55

I have to say, it looks smashing.

0:33:550:33:57

I have not put a drop of paint on it,

0:33:570:34:00

I have kept it absolutely original, with this lovely brass work.

0:34:000:34:05

-And also, as you can see, look at all that writing on there.

-Beautiful.

0:34:050:34:09

Well, Mark might be happy with the lawnmower,

0:34:110:34:14

but Rex has got more good news.

0:34:140:34:16

He knows someone who's interested in buying it at the right price.

0:34:160:34:20

He bought the lawnmower along with the radiator cap for £160.

0:34:250:34:29

Will he be able to sell it for a profit?

0:34:290:34:32

It was a snip. It's a beautiful thing.

0:34:320:34:35

Is it something you would be interested in?

0:34:380:34:40

If the price was right we might have a go at it.

0:34:400:34:43

Go on, Nigel, make me an offer.

0:34:430:34:45

Well, I think £150 would be top money, wouldn't it?

0:34:450:34:49

I think it stands being a bit more than that.

0:34:490:34:51

What if I squeezed you up to £200?

0:34:510:34:53

HE INHALES DEEPLY

0:34:530:34:56

-It's only money.

-170.

0:34:560:34:58

190.

0:34:580:35:01

170 and a tenner for luck, 180.

0:35:010:35:04

You've got yourself a deal. You are gent. Thank you, Nigel.

0:35:040:35:07

£180 for the lawnmower is a good result.

0:35:070:35:10

And, having sold the radiator cap for £50,

0:35:100:35:13

Mark bags a £70 profit on the two items.

0:35:130:35:17

He's on a real roll and he also seals a deal for the bell.

0:35:170:35:21

£70 and I'll put my hand out to shake it. Come on, that's a good price.

0:35:210:35:24

-Go on, then.

-Yeah, deal. Lovely.

0:35:240:35:27

The beers are on Richard, boys!

0:35:270:35:29

Mark might have sold the bell but he bought it with the two-faced clock,

0:35:330:35:36

so he's still got work to do before he's in profit.

0:35:360:35:40

70 quid, not bad. I could have stayed there all afternoon, to be fair.

0:35:400:35:45

But guess what? I've got work to do. Are you coming?

0:35:450:35:49

And speaking of work, Mark's hard at it and he's aiming to sell

0:35:490:35:52

his Whitefriars glass that he paid £15 for to another pub.

0:35:520:35:58

-Would you have any interest in buying it?

-Maybe a tenner.

0:35:580:36:01

-What? I was thinking like 50 quid.

-50?

0:36:010:36:03

Um... 15? No, 20.

0:36:050:36:09

£20? 40.

0:36:090:36:12

£25?

0:36:120:36:14

£35.

0:36:140:36:16

30, that's the last.

0:36:160:36:17

30 and a pint?

0:36:170:36:19

Maybe. No, 30.

0:36:190:36:22

You've got a deal. Thank you, Kate.

0:36:220:36:24

-10, 20, 30. And the rest is mean.

-Is it? OK, that's perfect.

0:36:240:36:31

-You're an angel.

-Thank you.

-Just going to another pub for a pint.

0:36:310:36:34

No, I'll have a lemonade, please. Quick as you like.

0:36:340:36:38

Well, that's a well-deserved drink for Franksy.

0:36:380:36:41

He's doubled his money and the pressure is building on Paul.

0:36:410:36:45

Pint of lemonade. A yard of ale.

0:36:450:36:48

I doubled my money. Thank you very much, I'll drink to that.

0:36:480:36:53

Mr Hayes, though, isn't a man to give in

0:36:530:36:56

when the going gets rough.

0:36:560:36:57

His Thomas Bush Hardy painting of the Kent coastline

0:36:570:37:00

is about to go under the hammer.

0:37:000:37:02

Paul has chosen to sell it here because he thinks

0:37:020:37:05

that local interest could push the price up.

0:37:050:37:07

Remember, he bought it for £325.

0:37:070:37:11

There's a 19th century watercolour of fishing boats off the Folkestone coast.

0:37:110:37:15

You need to start me here at three.

0:37:150:37:17

320. 330.

0:37:170:37:19

340. Looking for 350. 350 anywhere?

0:37:190:37:24

£340 is a good start, but if Paul wants to win today's competition,

0:37:240:37:29

he needs the bidders to push the price higher.

0:37:290:37:31

Found somebody. Thank you. 350.

0:37:310:37:34

360 anywhere. 360?

0:37:340:37:36

370. 380.

0:37:360:37:39

All done on 370. Going to sell it then.

0:37:400:37:42

£370.

0:37:420:37:44

354, thank you.

0:37:440:37:47

That isn't good news for Mr Morecambe.

0:37:470:37:49

After the auctioneer's fees are deducted,

0:37:490:37:52

he's made a loss of just over £36.

0:37:520:37:55

Mark is working hard to sell his items and he's brought his

0:37:550:37:58

rusty old two-faced clock to a salvage reclamation specialist.

0:37:580:38:04

-Light as a feather, Jesse.

-Mark bought the clock and the rusty old bell for £250.

0:38:040:38:10

He's already sold the bell for £70, so he needs to make at least

0:38:100:38:13

£180 from this sale in order to make a profit on the two items.

0:38:130:38:17

I'm going to put the ball in your court and you can make me an offer.

0:38:170:38:20

£200 would be a fair offer.

0:38:200:38:23

I think it probably cost me all of that, if not a bit more.

0:38:230:38:26

I was thinking more than double that. I was thinking of a nice little £500.

0:38:260:38:29

-I'm sure you were.

-250 a face, how about that?

0:38:290:38:32

You can think what you like. You're free to think what you like.

0:38:320:38:36

Really, you know, I think maybe

0:38:360:38:39

you might twist my arm a little bit and say 250.

0:38:390:38:44

I'll go down to 400. I'll knock 100 quid off, discount. There we are.

0:38:440:38:47

-400 quid.

-No, you're not close. You're not close enough.

0:38:470:38:51

-350 to tempt you.

-300.

0:38:510:38:55

-Is that your best offer?

-That's my best offer.

0:38:550:38:57

I think it's time we had a deal.

0:38:570:38:59

Put the kettle on, will you?

0:38:590:39:01

Nicely done, Mr Franks. Along with the proceeds

0:39:010:39:03

from the sale of the bell, he's made a profit of £120 on the two.

0:39:030:39:09

Despite his best efforts, Mark sold the vintage bike saddles for a loss,

0:39:090:39:13

but the good news is he's all sold up.

0:39:130:39:16

His rival's only broken even on his two Ridgeway plates,

0:39:160:39:20

so the outcome of today's contest

0:39:200:39:22

now rests with Paul's statue of the five-headed horse.

0:39:220:39:26

This is a big moment and he's arrived in Liverpool

0:39:260:39:29

to see the statue being auctioned off.

0:39:290:39:31

There's a good turnout in the saleroom,

0:39:310:39:33

but Mr Morecambe is an anxious man.

0:39:330:39:37

I'm hoping it'll go well under the hammer.

0:39:370:39:39

My lot's going to come up any minute now, but I'm nervous.

0:39:390:39:42

But it is in the lap of the gods, literally,

0:39:420:39:44

so let's see how we get on.

0:39:440:39:46

Paul bought the statue for £150.

0:39:460:39:49

It's now time for the bidding to begin.

0:39:490:39:52

..which is a very fine bronze casting of a 19th-century Buddhist sculpture

0:39:520:39:58

depicting a great chariot.

0:39:580:40:01

It's on its original rosewood base.

0:40:010:40:03

It is an antique one and it's very, very fine quality,

0:40:030:40:06

ladies and gentlemen, so let's see what we can do with it.

0:40:060:40:09

I think it's a very, very nice object. 100. 110, sir.

0:40:090:40:13

120.

0:40:130:40:14

130. 140.

0:40:140:40:17

150 now. 150 behind the wardrobe.

0:40:170:40:19

150, that's it.

0:40:190:40:22

160, yes?

0:40:220:40:23

Another one? 160, I think, is going to be bid. 160, thank you.

0:40:230:40:28

-160, OK. So, we're out on this one.

-180.

0:40:280:40:32

190.

0:40:320:40:33

Well, the price is climbing,

0:40:330:40:35

but will it climb high enough to give Paul victory today?

0:40:350:40:39

We'll find out very shortly because it's now time to tot up the totals

0:40:390:40:43

and find out how much our experts have made.

0:40:430:40:46

Both Paul and Mark were allowed to spend up to £750

0:40:490:40:52

of their own money at the antiques fair.

0:40:520:40:55

Mr Franks parted with £620.

0:40:550:40:58

Paul, on the other hand, spent every last penny.

0:40:580:41:01

After a titanic tussle that's taken Mark and Paul all over the country,

0:41:010:41:06

we've called them together in the capital to reveal

0:41:060:41:09

who's going to be crowned today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.

0:41:090:41:13

-Antique fair, now, I enjoyed that.

-I had a fantastic day.

0:41:150:41:19

I really did. I enjoyed it.

0:41:190:41:20

-I bought a lot of wacky items.

-You did.

0:41:200:41:22

And you bought a few fairly conservative items.

0:41:220:41:26

-How did you get on with the watches?

-The watches went well.

0:41:260:41:29

In fact, they were intergalactic.

0:41:290:41:31

I'm glad you sold them in time.

0:41:310:41:32

Exactly. But also, how did you get on with that lawnmower?

0:41:320:41:37

Yeah, I went door-to-door, cutting people's lawns and made £7.16.

0:41:370:41:40

I got it fixed and I sold it for a small profit.

0:41:400:41:43

This is going to be quite close, I think.

0:41:430:41:45

Are you ready? Three, two, one, let's go.

0:41:450:41:47

Yay! Fantastic. How did you manage that?

0:41:470:41:50

Skill, technique and a lot of luck.

0:41:500:41:52

I think a lot of that, as well.

0:41:520:41:55

It ain't over. There's more challenges.

0:41:550:41:57

-Come on, let's go.

-Good luck.

0:41:570:42:00

So, it's a terrific triumph for Mark.

0:42:000:42:02

Even though the auctioneer waived his commission, Paul's statue still

0:42:020:42:05

didn't make enough money to win today's contest.

0:42:050:42:08

210. Sold.

0:42:080:42:11

That's great. Thank you very much. £210. That's wonderful.

0:42:110:42:14

There's a profit there.

0:42:140:42:16

£210 gave Mr Hayes a £60 profit,

0:42:160:42:19

but it's Mark who emerged triumphant in today's clash.

0:42:190:42:24

I didn't want to buy china and glass and bits of boring furniture.

0:42:240:42:27

I wanted to buy more weird and wonderful items.

0:42:270:42:30

And I'm well pleased.

0:42:300:42:32

I saw what Mark bought. He bought a van load of very heavy stuff.

0:42:320:42:36

I'm surprised he's managed to sell it all.

0:42:360:42:38

I just wish I'd done a bit better on what I bought.

0:42:380:42:41

Paul might have wished he'd made a bit more,

0:42:410:42:43

but every penny of our experts' profits

0:42:430:42:46

will be going to their good causes.

0:42:460:42:48

Paul D'Auria Cancer Support Centre in Battersea. They need every penny they can get.

0:42:480:42:53

It's a really small charity and it's struggling like mad.

0:42:530:42:56

So, I'm well pleased.

0:42:560:42:58

The lifeboats, the RNLI.

0:42:580:43:00

They're purely a voluntary organisation

0:43:000:43:02

and they need as much money as they can get.

0:43:020:43:05

Well, Mark may have pipped his rival to the post today,

0:43:050:43:07

but tomorrow, both our experts will be playing away from home

0:43:070:43:11

as we take them across the Channel to an antiques market in Belgium.

0:43:110:43:15

Now, could this be the best £40 I've ever spent?

0:43:150:43:18

I asked the gentleman the price on an object and I didn't understand a word he said.

0:43:180:43:22

Have a butcher's at this.

0:43:220:43:24

I brought you all this way and I'm going to show you an English chest of drawers.
