This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.

0:00:020:00:05

The show that takes the titans of the antiques trade

0:00:050:00:08

and pitches them against each other,

0:00:080:00:11

to see who can make the most money

0:00:110:00:13

from buying and selling.

0:00:130:00:16

It's amazing, truly amazing.

0:00:160:00:19

Get ready for a rip-roaring, rollercoaster ride.

0:00:190:00:22

You've got to look, look, look.

0:00:220:00:24

It's The Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Showdown.

0:00:240:00:28

The greatest challenge our experts have faced yet.

0:00:280:00:31

Time's running out. Shopping.

0:00:310:00:33

Our aspiring Spartans of the antiques trade will be tested to the absolute limit

0:00:330:00:39

as they are challenged to scour the length and breadth of the country, and continent,

0:00:390:00:43

to find antiques and collectables to sell on for profit.

0:00:430:00:47

James, keep off my patch.

0:00:470:00:49

Coming up, our experts fight tooth and nail for ultimate victory.

0:00:490:00:53

£105, 110, 15.

0:00:530:00:56

Sneaky, he's running me up.

0:00:560:01:00

They reveal the many different ways to agree a price.

0:01:000:01:04

-I'll spin you.

-If it's tails, that's 45 quid.

0:01:040:01:07

And show that the world of antiques gets very passionate.

0:01:070:01:11

Yes!

0:01:110:01:13

It promises to be a right show-stopper today,

0:01:130:01:16

as our antiques experts go head-to-head for the title.

0:01:160:01:20

This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.

0:01:200:01:23

It's the Showdown, where two of our most highly trained antique specimens

0:01:350:01:41

are competing for a bulging profit margin

0:01:410:01:44

and ultimate victory over their opponent.

0:01:440:01:47

Our warring warriors are two of the antiques world's most prestigious professionals.

0:01:470:01:53

First up, it's the king of auctions, the master of fine art, it's...

0:01:530:01:57

What would be your best price on this?

0:02:000:02:02

And bravely facing him on the battleground

0:02:020:02:05

is a man who has been in the trade for over 30 years.

0:02:050:02:07

He takes no prisoners

0:02:070:02:10

and he packs a punch.

0:02:100:02:11

The unstoppable Jonty 'The Hitman' Hearnden.

0:02:110:02:15

This is some prize-fighter. Does that look like me?

0:02:150:02:18

So, this will be a challenge unlike any other.

0:02:180:02:20

One that will test their knowledge, stamina and contacts books

0:02:200:02:23

to the absolute limit.

0:02:230:02:25

Time to find out what's in store.

0:02:250:02:28

-James.

-Jonty.

-It's the challenge for the final Showdown.

-It is.

0:02:280:02:33

I know we've got instructions in here, let's have a look and see what it says.

0:02:330:02:36

-Have you read it already?

-No.

0:02:360:02:38

"James and Jonty, welcome to your final and biggest challenge yet,

0:02:380:02:42

"the Showdown."

0:02:420:02:43

-Sounds ominous already, doesn't it?

-Mmm.

0:02:430:02:45

"You must each buy eight items during your regular Put Your Money challenges.

0:02:450:02:50

"You have to buy two at each event."

0:02:500:02:52

-Right.

-OK?

-OK.

0:02:520:02:55

"You can spend up to £1,000 of your own money.

0:02:550:02:59

"You can each sell up to four items whereever you want.

0:02:590:03:01

"The remaining items will go into auction.

0:03:010:03:05

"Your auction will be in Dorset, in approximately eight weeks from now,

0:03:060:03:10

"in direct competition with your opponent."

0:03:100:03:13

-My word. So, we've got dealing, as well as selling at auction?

-Mmm.

-0K.

0:03:130:03:17

"Choose your items wisely,

0:03:170:03:18

"because the winner will be the one who makes the most profit."

0:03:180:03:22

-So, that will be me then.

-Me.

0:03:220:03:25

-Needs a bit of careful thought, hey?

-Good luck.

0:03:250:03:28

Food for thought. See you later.

0:03:280:03:29

Both our antiques giants have £1,000 of their own money to spend,

0:03:290:03:34

including any restoration, repairs and buying fees.

0:03:340:03:38

It's a fierce competition, but who will make the most profit?

0:03:380:03:42

Our boys will be buying from their usual hunting grounds,

0:03:420:03:45

a UK antiques fair,

0:03:450:03:47

an auction,

0:03:470:03:49

a car boot sale,

0:03:490:03:51

and a foreign market.

0:03:510:03:54

Our heavyweight hitters are ready for round one, the antiques fair.

0:03:540:03:57

Their battleground is the East of England Showground

0:03:570:04:00

which, twice a year, is home to the Peterborough Festival Of Antiques.

0:04:000:04:04

Literally thousands of hidden gems are sitting pretty,

0:04:040:04:07

ready to be snatched up by our antiques moguls,

0:04:070:04:10

and here, they each have to bag two bargain items.

0:04:100:04:13

Our magnificent masters of the market delve right in.

0:04:130:04:17

They need to really pull it out of the bag for their Showdown challenge

0:04:170:04:20

to prove that they have what it takes

0:04:200:04:22

to be crowned as Showdown King.

0:04:220:04:24

Jonty Hearnden is clearly out to destroy James Lewis.

0:04:260:04:29

Like a lean, mean, antiques-buying machine,

0:04:290:04:32

he bulldozes through the fair until he spots something that arouses curiosity.

0:04:320:04:37

What on Earth is this?

0:04:370:04:40

It looks like some kind of weighing mechanism, is that correct?

0:04:400:04:43

-It is, yes, it's an old set of potato scales.

-Potato scales?

0:04:430:04:46

You would have the bag there, you would fill it up with potatoes

0:04:460:04:49

and you'd have your 56lb weight here.

0:04:490:04:52

When it balanced out, you got your 56lb, four-stone bags of potatoes.

0:04:520:04:55

-So, 25 quid here?

-Yeah.

-Go on, tempt me.

0:04:550:05:00

-15.

-15 quid. What about a tenner?

0:05:000:05:03

-Yeah, yeah.

-Thank you very much indeed, sir.

-No problem.

0:05:030:05:06

Yes, The Hitman strikes the first blow.

0:05:060:05:09

He's taking no prisoners in this almighty battle

0:05:090:05:12

and, without giving The Lionheart a second thought,

0:05:120:05:15

he blazes a trail inside one of the warehouses

0:05:150:05:18

straight to another potential profit buster.

0:05:180:05:21

-Can you see on the back here, that's all hand beaten?

-Right.

0:05:210:05:25

That's how you create that effect.

0:05:250:05:27

-It's obviously got a bit of age to it, so...

-Right.

0:05:270:05:30

It's a tray that has to be 100 years old.

0:05:300:05:34

You've got a pricetag here of 18 quid.

0:05:340:05:37

-If I said £10, would that interest you?

-A tenner?

-A tenner.

0:05:370:05:40

I can't refuse at a tenner, that's absolutely fine.

0:05:400:05:42

-Shake on that, then.

-Great, that's lovely. Thank you very much indeed.

-Thank you.

0:05:420:05:47

It's a slick transaction from Mr Hearnden.

0:05:470:05:49

He's taken the bull by the horns and led it straight to the bargains.

0:05:490:05:53

The Lionheart, well,

0:05:530:05:55

he's not treating this Showdown as a 100-metre sprint.

0:05:550:05:57

Oh, no, more like a marathon.

0:05:570:05:59

He's employed a completely different strategy,

0:05:590:06:03

prowling round the market, sniffing out his prey, biding his time

0:06:030:06:07

and signing autographs?

0:06:070:06:10

Finally, he pounces on a juicy looking item.

0:06:100:06:12

He thinks he's found a Ming statue and happily forks out,

0:06:120:06:17

wait for it, £225.

0:06:170:06:20

The thing that is making more money than anything else is Chinese art

0:06:200:06:24

and this is a wonderful early example of it.

0:06:240:06:27

Ming Dynasty, 1680 to 1700 in date,

0:06:270:06:30

a piece like this should certainly, at auction, make more than £225.

0:06:300:06:34

The statue has blown a gaping hole in James's budget,

0:06:340:06:38

but could this be the item to win him the gold?

0:06:380:06:40

The Lionheart coolly goes on to buy his second item of the day,

0:06:420:06:45

a snuffbox for £16.

0:06:450:06:47

It's a lovely little snuffbox, it dates from about 1850, 1860. It's French.

0:06:470:06:51

The majority of it is made in papier mache.

0:06:510:06:54

The cover is set with this little tooled gilt panel.

0:06:540:06:57

If it was for me, I'd be paying £30 for it.

0:06:570:07:00

So, hopefully, I can find somebody else who will.

0:07:000:07:03

The bell has rung on the first round of this epic Showdown and,

0:07:030:07:07

with a 300-year-old Chinese statue under his belt,

0:07:070:07:10

could it be James's race?

0:07:100:07:11

Time to see how much they've notched up so far.

0:07:110:07:16

Their budget was £1,000.

0:07:170:07:20

Jonty 'The Hitman' Hearnden has been thrifty.

0:07:200:07:23

He spent just £20 at the antiques market,

0:07:230:07:26

leaving him a whopping £980

0:07:260:07:28

for the rest of the Showdown battle.

0:07:280:07:31

James 'The Lionheart' Lewis, on the other hand,

0:07:310:07:34

has delved deep into his pockets,

0:07:340:07:36

spending £241,

0:07:360:07:38

almost a quarter of his entire budget,

0:07:380:07:40

which means he's got £759 left to spend,

0:07:400:07:43

and there's three more rounds to go.

0:07:430:07:46

Time for round two, the auction.

0:07:480:07:51

Our antiques heroes have been sent to Tring Market Auctions.

0:07:540:07:57

Their mission, to buy two more items for their Showdown extravaganza.

0:07:570:08:01

These are gargantuan auction rooms and there's not one,

0:08:020:08:06

but four warehouses, simultaneously selling jewellery,

0:08:060:08:10

furniture and miscellanea.

0:08:100:08:12

There's even one outside for garden furniture,

0:08:120:08:15

but time is of the essence.

0:08:150:08:16

The auctions will soon start to kick off.

0:08:160:08:20

James Lewis, the king of auction houses, is on his hunting ground.

0:08:200:08:23

He knows what scent to follow and exactly where to look.

0:08:230:08:26

One of the favourite tricks of dealers, in an auction room,

0:08:280:08:32

is to try and hide the items that they are interested in,

0:08:320:08:35

so that nobody else can see them.

0:08:350:08:38

Oh, look.

0:08:380:08:41

It's just a very suspicious mound,

0:08:410:08:44

and if we look here,

0:08:440:08:47

this is a classic Persian coffee pot

0:08:470:08:50

from, probably, 1900 in date.

0:08:500:08:53

About 100 years old. It's in copper.

0:08:530:08:57

A coffee pot like that, it's worth £40, £45.

0:08:570:09:01

The Hitman is not far behind, though.

0:09:010:09:03

He started his career as an auction saleroom porter

0:09:030:09:06

and his well-trained nose leads him straight to a potential honeypot.

0:09:060:09:11

What we've got here is a plinth and the urn itself sits about here.

0:09:110:09:16

They were originally designed to be put together, but it's not particularly old.

0:09:160:09:21

We have a mould down the side here.

0:09:210:09:24

Now, if this had been 100 years of age,

0:09:240:09:26

you would never get that mould here.

0:09:260:09:28

It's estimated for under £100 in the sale. Interesting object.

0:09:280:09:32

Jonty cleverly identifies an object he knows will appeal to the market.

0:09:350:09:39

It's a master plan but,

0:09:390:09:41

with so much competition, can he bag it for the right price?

0:09:410:09:44

The auctions have begun

0:09:460:09:48

and The Lionheart has marked up yet another box of miscellaneous items including binoculars,

0:09:480:09:52

a balance and a mandolin.

0:09:520:09:55

Like a torpedo on target, he zooms in.

0:09:550:09:58

He's made it into the room, but will he win his box?

0:09:580:10:01

I have to start the bidding at £21,

0:10:020:10:04

22, 25, 28, 30, and two.

0:10:040:10:08

Any advance on 38? 35, 38,

0:10:080:10:11

40, and two, and five, and eight,

0:10:110:10:14

50 and two, and five, and eight.

0:10:140:10:17

Any advance on £55, then?

0:10:170:10:21

Sold then at 55, 649.

0:10:210:10:23

He's exhausted, but such is his steely determination to win,

0:10:230:10:28

he's not going to let anything slip under the hammer.

0:10:280:10:30

He buys the box of miscellanea for

0:10:300:10:32

just under £65, including fees.

0:10:320:10:36

And no sooner has he bagged the box,

0:10:360:10:38

when a potential buyer tries his luck.

0:10:380:10:42

-I was interested in the balance.

-Yeah.

-£20?

0:10:420:10:45

I don't think I'd take 20.

0:10:470:10:49

-That would have to be 30.

-25 would be my top.

0:10:500:10:54

-I think if 25 is your tops, I think I'll hang on to it.

-0K, right.

0:10:540:10:58

-Good luck with that, then.

-Thank you.

-OK.

-All right. Cheers.

0:10:590:11:03

Well, it's always encouraging when somebody makes you an offer straight after the sale.

0:11:070:11:11

But, mind you, that might make 25, £30, you know.

0:11:110:11:18

Oh, shall I just sell it to him? I'll go and take his money.

0:11:220:11:26

Oh, a sudden change of heart from Mr Lewis.

0:11:260:11:30

-25?

-25.

-We've got a deal.

0:11:300:11:34

Yes, it's a blinding start for old James.

0:11:340:11:36

He's already made £25 back on a £65 layout

0:11:360:11:39

and still has ten more items in the box to sell.

0:11:390:11:43

Watch out, Mr Hearnden.

0:11:430:11:46

The pressure is on,

0:11:460:11:47

and our antiques giants can't help stepping on each other's toes.

0:11:470:11:51

So, we're outside now.

0:11:510:11:53

Garden items are being sold,

0:11:530:11:55

and I notice a certain Mr Lewis is out here as well.

0:11:550:11:59

Could we be in competition with one another?

0:11:590:12:02

This is The Lionheart's chance to scupper Jonty's best-laid plans,

0:12:020:12:05

but will he?

0:12:050:12:06

Number 408, the garden jardiniere,

0:12:060:12:08

£30, five I'll take on this one.

0:12:080:12:11

£30, 40...five, 50...five, 60...five,

0:12:110:12:14

70...five, 80, 80 back there,

0:12:140:12:17

five, 90...five, 100...five,

0:12:170:12:21

£100 I'm bid, £100, five I'll take. 105, 110...

0:12:210:12:24

You're sure? £105 then. Can I do it at £105? Are we all...

0:12:240:12:28

Getting good at this. £105.

0:12:280:12:30

110...15, no? £110 on the right.

0:12:300:12:34

£110, are we all done?

0:12:340:12:35

15, 120, £115 on the left,

0:12:350:12:38

120, do you like? Are you sure at £115?

0:12:380:12:41

I'm going to sell it, all done, £115... £115.

0:12:410:12:46

-20, are you coming again?

-No.

-115, then, and that's 651.

0:12:460:12:50

Sneaky, he's running me up.

0:12:500:12:52

Ooh, The Hitman was bid up by The Lionheart. What a low blow.

0:12:520:12:56

With fees, Jonty has spent just under £136 on the jardiniere.

0:12:560:13:00

Still enough to make a profit, who knows?

0:13:000:13:04

The Lionheart heads back inside

0:13:040:13:05

to bid on the box of jugs and pots found hidden under a rug.

0:13:050:13:09

He gets it for an absolute snip,

0:13:090:13:11

just under £24, including costs.

0:13:110:13:14

It's time for Jonty to tie down a second item.

0:13:140:13:17

He's in an auction room for smaller items, awaiting a silver cigarette case lot

0:13:170:13:21

he spotted earlier, but guess what?

0:13:210:13:23

He's got company.

0:13:230:13:25

-How's it going?

-Good.

0:13:250:13:28

Is James going to deliver Jonty another sucker punch? Bidding him up on his item.

0:13:280:13:31

There you are, £50, £40, £50, now,

0:13:310:13:35

£50, I sell then, five, 55, £60...five, £70...five,

0:13:350:13:40

75, £80 bid. £80 bid...

0:13:400:13:44

You are out. I sell at £80, 651.

0:13:440:13:48

The Hitman scores and The Lionheart is not so sneaky after all.

0:13:500:13:55

After costs, the art-deco

0:13:550:13:56

silver cigarette case

0:13:560:13:57

cost him just over £94.

0:13:570:14:01

So, round two is over.

0:14:010:14:03

Jonty has two mighty purchases

0:14:030:14:06

and The Lionheart has two boxes packed with all sorts of exciting items.

0:14:060:14:10

Two very different tactics, but whose is the winning formula?

0:14:100:14:14

From the original £1,000 they started with,

0:14:150:14:19

Jonty has now spent just over £250,

0:14:190:14:21

leaving him with an ample amount for

0:14:210:14:23

the next two rounds.

0:14:230:14:25

Just under £750.

0:14:250:14:28

James, on the other hand,

0:14:280:14:30

has now spent just under £330,

0:14:300:14:32

leaving him just under £671

0:14:320:14:35

for the next two rounds

0:14:350:14:36

of this epic Showdown.

0:14:360:14:39

Time for round three.

0:14:390:14:40

It's the car boot.

0:14:400:14:42

The Ford airfield in West Sussex is full to bursting

0:14:420:14:47

and, as our antiques gladiators enter the fray,

0:14:470:14:49

they know how much pressure they're under.

0:14:490:14:52

Well, a hot beef roll sounds good,

0:14:520:14:54

but I don't think we're going to see much profit from that.

0:14:540:14:57

Absolutely not. Well, here we are at the car boot sale,

0:14:570:15:00

and we've got to find two little gems, two golden nuggets.

0:15:000:15:02

What will they be? Will they be furniture, a piece of jewellery, what do you think?

0:15:020:15:06

Second-hand clothing, children's toys.

0:15:060:15:08

-That's going to be more like it.

-Exactly, I think so.

0:15:080:15:11

Our boys each need to find two profit-busting items,

0:15:110:15:13

but are there any antiques to be found?

0:15:130:15:17

The Lionheart cut his teeth in fairs like this, making him the connoisseur of car boots,

0:15:170:15:21

and if anyone can root out those antiquities, he can.

0:15:210:15:26

-35?

-I knew you were going to say that. That will do.

0:15:260:15:30

What are they? Well, they're window blocks.

0:15:300:15:33

So, if you are a Georgian gentleman or lady in the 18th or early 19th-century

0:15:330:15:38

and your sash windows keep dropping,

0:15:380:15:41

you want something that will stop the window falling all the way down and smashing your glass.

0:15:410:15:45

That's what these were used for.

0:15:450:15:49

What a find from James Lewis, a real-life antique.

0:15:490:15:52

Jonty 'The Juggernaut' has finally tuned his radar to car boot frequency

0:15:520:15:56

and something is singing to him.

0:15:560:15:58

I think it's worth a little punt.

0:16:060:16:09

And, as a consequence, I'm just mulling this one over here.

0:16:090:16:14

But an old saxophone, in its original box,

0:16:140:16:17

has to be worth about 100 quid, doesn't it?

0:16:170:16:20

-To you, 50 quid.

-50 quid, will you take 40?

0:16:200:16:24

-Because I am just doing an absolutely speculative punt.

-45.

0:16:240:16:28

-Do it for me at 40, 40 quid. Come on.

-I'll spin you.

0:16:280:16:32

-What?

-I'll spin you.

0:16:320:16:34

-If it's heads...

-You'll get it for 40.

-I'll get if for 40.

0:16:340:16:37

If it's tails, it's 45 quid.

0:16:370:16:40

Tails, 45 quid.

0:16:400:16:42

-It's 45 quid, is it?

-Thank you very much.

-There we go.

0:16:420:16:44

It's a kick in the teeth for Jonty,

0:16:440:16:46

as his gamble goes pear-shaped

0:16:460:16:48

and he stumps up £45 for the saxophone,

0:16:480:16:51

but like a vulture of vintage,

0:16:510:16:54

Jonty gobbles up his other Showdown purchase, a mantle clock for £23.

0:16:540:16:59

With Jonty all out, James needs to chalk up his second item sharpish.

0:16:590:17:03

No problem for the king of the car boot.

0:17:030:17:05

I think it's what is called a stirrup vase.

0:17:070:17:11

Simply because of this design of the top there.

0:17:110:17:14

But what I really love about it is the quality of the engraving,

0:17:140:17:18

and if you look around the side, we have these Indian maharajahs

0:17:180:17:23

on the backs of elephants.

0:17:230:17:25

This is a great thing and super quality, for £8.

0:17:250:17:30

I'd buy it.

0:17:300:17:32

Yes, it's a boot sale bonanza and James has literally notched up two bona-fide antique items,

0:17:320:17:38

but could Jonty's saxophone be music to his ears?

0:17:380:17:41

Time to find out who's spent what.

0:17:410:17:43

From his original £1,000 budget,

0:17:450:17:47

Jonty has only spent just over £318...

0:17:470:17:50

..leaving him just under

0:17:510:17:54

a whopping £682 still to spend.

0:17:540:17:57

James has spent £372.50, leaving him

0:17:570:18:00

just under £628 for round four.

0:18:000:18:03

It's time for the last round of this epic battle.

0:18:050:18:08

The foreign antiques market.

0:18:080:18:10

And today, the boys are in gay Paris, at the market of Saint-Ouen,

0:18:100:18:14

where three days a week, thousands of antique shops and stalls are open for business.

0:18:140:18:19

Hold onto your hats, because this is our duelling duo's last opportunity

0:18:190:18:23

to annihilate each other in order to win the Showdown title

0:18:230:18:26

and the most profit for their charities.

0:18:260:18:30

The Hitman is a seasoned pro at foreign antiques markets.

0:18:300:18:34

He's been here to the Saint-Ouen market in Paris before and he knows how to work it.

0:18:340:18:39

Our fancier of furniture has hunted down something he knows a thing or two about.

0:18:390:18:43

Chairs.

0:18:430:18:45

375, come on.

0:18:450:18:48

Last price.

0:18:490:18:52

-OK?

-Oui.

-Oui.

0:18:520:18:55

-Oui.

-OK. Merci, madame.

0:18:550:18:58

Yes, he's stuck to what he knows

0:18:580:18:59

and the pair of chairs are in the bag for just over £345.

0:18:590:19:04

As always, James is taking his time.

0:19:040:19:07

He's padding round the Paris market like a bloodhound sniffing out a kill,

0:19:070:19:12

and he soon smells some giant perfume bottles.

0:19:120:19:15

What would be the best on those two?

0:19:150:19:17

-380.

-380.

0:19:170:19:20

Gosh, it's a lot of money, isn't it?

0:19:220:19:25

380. Could it be any better than that?

0:19:250:19:27

-360.

-360...

0:19:270:19:30

350 for cash? Bien?

0:19:300:19:34

350, deal. Thank you.

0:19:340:19:38

Yes, the perfume bottles

0:19:380:19:39

are in the old shopping trolley for just over £318,

0:19:390:19:42

but what on Earth is he planning to do with them?

0:19:420:19:45

I've got a buyer for them and I know

0:19:450:19:47

she's been spending an awful lot on these in the past.

0:19:470:19:51

£300, £400 each. So, hopefully, fingers crossed, there's a profit there.

0:19:510:19:57

Ah-ha! Always the businessman, he's already got a buyer in mind.

0:19:570:20:02

But his opponent is a far cry from James's hard-nosed dealing

0:20:020:20:06

because Jonty has fallen in love with a bust.

0:20:060:20:10

# I guess you'd say

0:20:110:20:15

# What can make me feel this way?

0:20:150:20:19

# My girl, my girl... #

0:20:190:20:21

I've got my girl. I think she is absolutely gorgeous, really stylish.

0:20:230:20:30

Wonderfully French, wonderfully exotic.

0:20:300:20:33

I think she's just so gorgeous.

0:20:330:20:37

She's terracotta, and I love her. I'd like to take her home myself.

0:20:370:20:41

Yes, I bet you would, you old devil.

0:20:410:20:43

The terracotta bust set him back

0:20:430:20:46

just over £227.

0:20:460:20:48

Jonty has spent up,

0:20:480:20:50

but The Lionheart is still out on the prowl,

0:20:500:20:52

and he's just bagged one last item.

0:20:520:20:55

A little Chinese carving, damaged, re-gilded

0:20:550:21:00

but, originally, quite an interesting thing.

0:21:000:21:04

25 euros, just over £20.

0:21:040:21:08

It might not be easy to sell,

0:21:080:21:09

but if I don't sell it, it at least is not a huge loss.

0:21:090:21:13

The carving set him back just under £23,

0:21:130:21:15

but will it prove its worth at auction?

0:21:150:21:18

That's it, round four is over, and all Showdown items have been bought.

0:21:200:21:25

It's been a mammoth task,

0:21:250:21:27

but our two antiques giants have risen to the challenge.

0:21:270:21:31

In Paris, Jonty stayed true to his home-grown expertise, buying chairs,

0:21:310:21:35

but James was led by buyers at home.

0:21:350:21:38

Time then for a quick look at who's spent what.

0:21:380:21:41

Our warring warhorses started this epic Showdown competition

0:21:410:21:45

with £1,000 of their own cash.

0:21:450:21:48

At the close of shopping,

0:21:480:21:49

Jonty's final bill comes in high

0:21:490:21:51

at just under £891.

0:21:510:21:54

James has been more cautious.

0:21:540:21:56

He's spent just over £713.

0:21:560:21:59

It's time for our antiques maestros to size up the enemy's goods.

0:21:590:22:03

-So, we've done all our buying.

-At last, my word.

0:22:040:22:07

All I can say, James, is you are going to smell very nice going home.

0:22:070:22:11

As long as they don't break.

0:22:110:22:12

My goodness, they are going to have to be wrapped and stored in the van, I think.

0:22:120:22:16

So, what was your favourite buy after buying throughout the four days?

0:22:160:22:20

My favourite buy would have to be the Chinese Ming Dynasty figure from the antiques fair.

0:22:200:22:26

-OK.

-For me, I could live with that, and I love it.

0:22:260:22:29

But the thing that I've got most confidence in are these,

0:22:290:22:33

because I very rarely go anywhere knowing that I have got a buyer for something.

0:22:330:22:37

How about you, what was your favourite?

0:22:370:22:39

Lots of fun things, really.

0:22:390:22:40

I enjoyed buying the sax,

0:22:400:22:41

but whether I can sell that or not, I have no idea.

0:22:410:22:45

-The auction sale and all those other sales.

-Good luck.

0:22:450:22:48

Now, it's time to show what they're really made of,

0:22:510:22:55

as our warriors turn all their attention to selling.

0:22:550:22:59

They've got decades of dealing experience between them

0:22:590:23:01

and bulging contact books to prove it.

0:23:010:23:04

This battle is all about profit and who makes the most.

0:23:040:23:08

For the winner, a lifetime of glory.

0:23:080:23:12

For the loser, nothing but disappointment and humiliation.

0:23:120:23:16

But this is no ordinary show, it's the Showdown,

0:23:160:23:20

and the Showdown sell-off has an added twist.

0:23:200:23:24

The auction.

0:23:240:23:26

They'll have to stand by and watch as they win big, or lose absolutely everything.

0:23:260:23:31

They need to use every last brain cell to plan the ultimate strategy,

0:23:320:23:36

to ensure they put the perfect items under the hammer.

0:23:360:23:40

So, which of their purchases are they sending to auction?

0:23:400:23:44

All these individual items are worth less, or I paid less, than £50.

0:23:440:23:49

The highest item, the highest value item I've got, is my saxophone at £45.

0:23:490:23:55

My American clock was only, I think, £23, that sort of margin.

0:23:550:23:59

The tray, which I really like, my German tray,

0:24:000:24:03

which is about 100 years old, and what's this going to weigh in at it?

0:24:030:24:07

Well, it only cost me a tenner.

0:24:070:24:09

This could be a tortoise and hare situation.

0:24:090:24:12

So, what does our Lionheart think will be a roaring auction success?

0:24:120:24:17

The coffee pot. Part of a box from the auction show,

0:24:170:24:20

from the car boot show.

0:24:200:24:22

What I think is probably one of the most interesting lots I've found,

0:24:220:24:25

and this has turned out to be

0:24:250:24:28

a 19th-century Indian Buddhist begging bowl.

0:24:280:24:32

My little Chinese carved figure,

0:24:320:24:34

it will either fly, or nobody will buy it at all.

0:24:340:24:37

There were go.

0:24:370:24:38

But James knows the auction house like no other and he decides to risk everything

0:24:380:24:44

by putting his other Chinese statue up for auction.

0:24:440:24:47

He spent a lot of money on it, so could lose hundreds,

0:24:470:24:49

or will it see off Jonty and be the triumph of the week?

0:24:490:24:52

We'll find out later in the show.

0:24:520:24:55

Before that, our bargain bruisers have to find buyers for all their other items.

0:24:550:25:01

James still has to find homes for a 19th-century snuffbox,

0:25:010:25:04

two Georgian China window stoppers,

0:25:040:25:07

two giant scent bottles

0:25:070:25:09

and a large box of miscellanea.

0:25:090:25:11

And Jonty has his work cut out as well.

0:25:110:25:14

He's still got an Edwardian-style jardiniere,

0:25:140:25:16

an art-deco silver cigarette case,

0:25:160:25:20

a pair of yellow chairs

0:25:200:25:21

and the terracotta bust.

0:25:210:25:23

But until they've shaken on it and the money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.

0:25:230:25:28

The titans of the trade hit the phones

0:25:280:25:32

and it's not long before Jonty homes in,

0:25:320:25:35

and our heavyweight has some heavy lifting to do.

0:25:350:25:37

He's found a man in Hampshire who specialises in garden urns,

0:25:370:25:41

but will Edward fall for Jonty's £136 jardiniere?

0:25:410:25:46

I know it's not particularly old and you can tell that by looking at these moulded marks down the side,

0:25:460:25:50

where it has actually been made.

0:25:500:25:53

-Yeah, I can see here.

-And likewise, down on the base.

-Yeah.

0:25:530:25:57

So, it's not particularly old, but it has that sort of 19th-century feel to it, doesn't it?

0:25:570:26:01

Yeah, 19th-century feel but, yes,

0:26:010:26:03

it probably is no more than ten years old, looking at the weathering. But, yeah, it's good.

0:26:030:26:07

So, price, 325 would be my ideal.

0:26:070:26:10

-325, your ideal.

-Yes.

0:26:100:26:12

That's rather more than I was hoping to pay for it,

0:26:120:26:15

I was nearer the kind of 230, 240.

0:26:150:26:19

If I come under the 300, like 280, would that be OK?

0:26:190:26:22

-280.

-Are we getting near on that?

0:26:220:26:24

We're getting nearer. If we said 275, we'd probably have a deal.

0:26:240:26:27

-That's fine, 275 is fine by me.

-OK. Thank you, Jonty.

-Thank you.

0:26:270:26:31

One down, and Jonty pots a pretty profit of nearly £140.

0:26:310:26:37

Doubling your money on anything is very, very exciting,

0:26:370:26:39

but at that sort of price level, really good news indeed.

0:26:390:26:43

Not to be outdone, The Lionheart wants to put some fresh air between him and The Hitman.

0:26:430:26:48

He's keen to see off the £35 sash window stoppers he bought at the car boot.

0:26:480:26:53

He's lined up a dealer in Central London,

0:26:530:26:56

but Peter's got news for our King of the Jungle.

0:26:560:26:58

And they were purely for blocking up sash windows to let the air in, were they?

0:26:580:27:02

Well, I don't think that's right.

0:27:020:27:04

I think the more accurate description

0:27:040:27:07

would be furniture rests, or furniture supports.

0:27:070:27:11

OK. What do you think, then? Value-wise.

0:27:110:27:15

Something like 300, something like that, I was thinking.

0:27:150:27:18

-How about 350? Do you think that's...?

-I think that's fair, yes.

0:27:180:27:22

Yeah, in that case, we've got a deal.

0:27:220:27:24

All right. Thank you.

0:27:240:27:25

Fantastic, thank you.

0:27:250:27:27

What a winner! James sells the supports for ten times what he paid.

0:27:270:27:32

A powerful profit of £315.

0:27:320:27:35

Both our booty beauties are off to a flying start

0:27:360:27:40

and Jonty soon seals another deal.

0:27:400:27:42

He sells the pair of yellow armchairs to an upholsterer for £450,

0:27:420:27:47

a comfy profit of nearly £105.

0:27:470:27:50

But there's no holding James back, either.

0:27:510:27:54

He soon finds a buyer for his snuffbox.

0:27:540:27:57

She pays £36, giving him a handy profit of £20.

0:27:570:28:02

And James could soon be sniffing the pungent perfume of more profit.

0:28:020:28:05

When he bought the giant bottles in Paris for a whopping 350 euro, he had Alice in mind.

0:28:050:28:12

But she's the expert, so will she put James off the scent of their real value?

0:28:120:28:18

Alice, when you said look out for giant scent bottles,

0:28:180:28:21

I knew I'd see them,

0:28:210:28:22

but I didn't know how much they were going to cost.

0:28:220:28:24

-They are not cheap, are they?

-No, they're not.

0:28:240:28:28

They sort of range between this size, the bigger size,

0:28:280:28:30

and then you can get factice, because they call it factice,

0:28:300:28:35

which are the very small bottles you would normally have on your dressing table with the perfume in.

0:28:350:28:39

What's factice then?

0:28:390:28:41

They are a showpiece, a display bottle.

0:28:410:28:44

These were basically used in shops for advertising, that sort of thing?

0:28:440:28:47

They are, yes.

0:28:470:28:48

If you lost this lettering on there, although it was a pretty bottle,

0:28:480:28:52

it wouldn't really be what it is any more.

0:28:520:28:54

If I said 400 each, is that just madness?

0:28:540:28:57

-It is, really.

-OK.

0:28:570:28:59

So, how about I give you 100 each for them?

0:28:590:29:03

That is way less than I paid.

0:29:030:29:06

I thought I'd start low.

0:29:060:29:07

Just hugely less.

0:29:070:29:10

How about 200 each, then? Are we about there?

0:29:100:29:14

That's about...

0:29:140:29:16

Let's say 220 a bottle. 225.

0:29:160:29:19

In fact, let's make it round, because then...

0:29:190:29:23

-225 is 450 quid, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:29:230:29:27

I think, I didn't have a clue what they were worth.

0:29:270:29:30

-No.

-I still haven't got a clue what they're worth.

0:29:300:29:33

I know!

0:29:330:29:35

And I was just hoping that there might be a profit.

0:29:370:29:40

-Well, there is a profit in that.

-You've got a deal.

-Hurrah.

0:29:400:29:44

-You've done really well, haven't you?

-I so have.

-Oh, no!

0:29:440:29:48

Oh, dear, even though James wafts away with a profit

0:29:480:29:53

of almost £132,

0:29:530:29:54

it sounds like he could have pocketed a lot more.

0:29:540:29:57

Alice looks to be the sure-fire winner there.

0:29:570:30:01

The Hitman is hot on his opponent's heels.

0:30:010:30:03

He's off to shift the cigarette case he bought for just over £94.

0:30:030:30:09

I think this is a really beautiful object,

0:30:090:30:11

so I'm going to show it to my local jeweller friend,

0:30:110:30:13

who I know will be very interested in this.

0:30:130:30:14

So, I'm quietly confident that I might be able to make a tidy sum.

0:30:140:30:18

And it looks like Jonty's got another tactic.

0:30:180:30:21

That shirt. He's clearly trying to divert Andy's attention.

0:30:210:30:25

-I've brought you a very beautiful silver box.

-Oh, yes.

0:30:250:30:30

Isn't that lovely? Engine turned. Just pre the Second World War.

0:30:300:30:33

-Yes.

-I think it's dated 1937.

0:30:330:30:37

-Birmingham hallmark.

-Yes, I can see a nice strong hallmark on both lid and base.

0:30:370:30:42

-Art-deco design.

-Yes.

0:30:420:30:43

Well, I love the engine turning, it's really crisp.

0:30:430:30:46

The engraving is great

0:30:460:30:48

because anything you're going to handle, you don't want a polished surface,

0:30:480:30:51

otherwise your fingermarks are going to show straightaway.

0:30:510:30:54

I hadn't thought about that.

0:30:540:30:55

So, this sort of thing, table-top,

0:30:550:30:57

boardroom-type piece has gone out of fashion a little bit, in terms of holding cigarettes.

0:30:570:31:03

Sure.

0:31:030:31:04

But what they have found is a new use.

0:31:040:31:08

Bridge clubs, and people who play bridge, they want something nice to bring to the table.

0:31:080:31:13

Imagine you've got your friends around playing bridge.

0:31:130:31:16

-Two decks of cards in there.

-Two decks of cards in there.

0:31:160:31:18

And it is in beautiful condition.

0:31:180:31:22

-Do you want a price?

-A beautiful piece. Yeah, go on, hit me with it.

0:31:230:31:26

-300 quid.

-£300.

0:31:260:31:29

That's not a bad price, but I do need to make a profit.

0:31:290:31:33

That's fine, that's the way the business works.

0:31:330:31:36

So...

0:31:360:31:38

I would be happy...

0:31:380:31:41

to pay...

0:31:410:31:43

£270.

0:31:430:31:45

-Fantastic.

-If you're happy with that?

-Very happy.

0:31:450:31:47

-We've got a great deal.

-That's fine.

-Thank you very much.

-Very good.

0:31:470:31:49

Yes, a very decent deal for Jonty,

0:31:490:31:52

he walks away more than £175 better off.

0:31:520:31:56

James had some luck early on with his big box of miscellanea,

0:31:560:32:00

when he sold the balance straightaway.

0:32:000:32:02

Since then, he's been working his socks off

0:32:020:32:04

to sell a selection of items from the box,

0:32:040:32:06

including the marble pen tray, the compact and the mandolin.

0:32:060:32:10

After the cash is counted from all the items in the box,

0:32:100:32:12

James waltzes off with over £165 in profit.

0:32:120:32:18

But now, it's sad times for Jonty.

0:32:180:32:22

The end of a love affair.

0:32:220:32:25

# Because I am your lady

0:32:250:32:27

# And you are my man... #

0:32:300:32:34

Will the beauty of Jonty's 250-year-old bust win her a new suitor in fellow dealer Tony?

0:32:340:32:41

-That lovely demure look that she has.

-Terracotta?

-Yes.

0:32:410:32:44

-Is it signed?

-There's a signature on the other side, on the reverse.

0:32:440:32:49

I've tried to have a look, but it looks Italian, the signature,

0:32:490:32:53

it's not a French name that we have there.

0:32:530:32:55

You don't have one bigger?

0:32:550:32:58

I wish I had. She is beautiful.

0:32:580:33:01

I took one look at her myself and I thought...

0:33:010:33:04

Oh, you'd come and rip me off. Yeah.

0:33:040:33:06

She's 380, that's the price I'm looking for.

0:33:060:33:10

And I wondered what you thought?

0:33:100:33:12

What's the improvement on that, what's the best?

0:33:120:33:15

-What's the death?

-380.

0:33:150:33:19

Well, not a lot.

0:33:190:33:20

Come on, come on, you can do better than that.

0:33:200:33:23

What about 350?

0:33:230:33:25

I think it looks really good on that fireplace,

0:33:250:33:27

so I'm sort of tempted to say yes.

0:33:270:33:31

-It's a sale?

-Tempted.

-Only tempted?

0:33:310:33:34

-Can we shake hands on it?

-Oh, yeah, I think so.

-Yeah.

0:33:340:33:38

Yes, Jonty dumps his lady in North London

0:33:390:33:42

and leaves with more than £122 profit.

0:33:420:33:45

So, at the halfway stage of our mammoth selling contest,

0:33:450:33:48

how are our warring warriors getting on?

0:33:480:33:52

The Hitman has sold four items

0:33:530:33:56

and bagged just over £542 in profit.

0:33:560:34:00

The Lionheart has also sold

0:34:000:34:02

four of his purchases,

0:34:020:34:03

but he's out in front,

0:34:030:34:05

very nearly £632 in profit.

0:34:050:34:09

But their wheeler-dealer ways have to end there.

0:34:110:34:14

Everything else must be sold at auction, a place where they have no control.

0:34:140:34:18

They're in the hands of the auctioneer and his customers.

0:34:180:34:23

So, before the grand finale gets under way, our gladiators check out the competition

0:34:230:34:27

and make sure their lots are looking lush.

0:34:270:34:30

There they are, look, the pride of the auction sale, my potato scales.

0:34:310:34:37

What are they going to make?

0:34:370:34:39

Probably nothing at all, but don't tell anybody that.

0:34:390:34:41

I'm not sure what Jonty paid for this,

0:34:420:34:45

but I think he might just have made a rather good move.

0:34:450:34:48

Musical instruments can do really well at auction.

0:34:480:34:50

If it strikes the right note with the bidders, I think there's a really good profit with it.

0:34:500:34:54

This is the figure James bought. What's it going to sell for?

0:34:540:34:58

-Well, not quite sure, but I like this one.

-Good.

0:34:580:35:02

This is the figure that all my hopes rest on.

0:35:030:35:07

Ming dynasty, 16th century and rare.

0:35:070:35:10

I just hope the auction room come out trumps with it.

0:35:100:35:14

He may think it's fab,

0:35:140:35:15

but if no-one wants it, it could make a massive loss.

0:35:150:35:21

Jonty's opening item is the £10 copper tray.

0:35:210:35:24

So, this is the first of my very big lots.

0:35:240:35:26

And £20 is bid here, thank you, at £20, straight in at £20.

0:35:260:35:29

And five to oblige, where? £20, the maiden bid of 20,

0:35:290:35:32

The maiden bid it is at 20...five, 30, £30 and away then.

0:35:320:35:37

At £30, done, going, selling away at 30, last chance at 30...

0:35:370:35:41

Tripled your money.

0:35:410:35:43

Well, there is a minimum lot charge, but that's fine.

0:35:430:35:47

I've come up with a slight profit.

0:35:470:35:50

But every little helps.

0:35:500:35:51

After auction fees Jonty's profit is just over £11.

0:35:510:35:55

This is your beggar's bowl coming up, James.

0:35:560:35:59

I think I'm going to need this,

0:35:590:36:01

the auctioneer shouldn't be selling it.

0:36:010:36:02

What did you pay for it?

0:36:020:36:04

£8, it wasn't expensive.

0:36:040:36:06

-See where we go, then.

-I'm hoping it will make 30, 35.

0:36:060:36:09

-I think that's what it's worth.

-£20 and away for it, please.

0:36:090:36:13

20, ten is bid, thank you.

0:36:130:36:14

At £10, the maiden bid at ten, 15, 20...five, £25 I have now.

0:36:140:36:19

At £25, the beggar's bowl goes away at £25, 30, on the net now,

0:36:190:36:21

new bidder coming in.

0:36:210:36:23

Right at the end at £30. And it's going to be sold here at £30.

0:36:230:36:27

Selling, going away at 30, 30...

0:36:270:36:29

-Looks good.

-That's what I thought it was worth, so..

0:36:290:36:32

It beggars belief you got that sort of figure!

0:36:320:36:36

And a similar start for James.

0:36:360:36:37

Once the costs are paid,

0:36:370:36:39

the begging bowl catches a profit of just over £13.

0:36:390:36:43

Jonty's American clock also finds a buyer.

0:36:430:36:46

Selling at 40... Thank you.

0:36:460:36:49

Selling at £40, he winds up nearly £8 in profit.

0:36:490:36:54

But James takes a blow from his copper pots.

0:36:540:36:56

Going away at 20, at 20...

0:36:560:36:59

They earn just £20 and, after costs,

0:36:590:37:01

he makes our first loss of the day.

0:37:010:37:03

He is down more than £12.

0:37:030:37:05

My next lot is the saxophone.

0:37:070:37:10

What did you pay for that?

0:37:100:37:12

I paid 45 quid for it, and it's a completely speculative purchase.

0:37:120:37:15

I think that might do quite well. I like it.

0:37:150:37:17

I just don't know, it's got bags of character.

0:37:170:37:19

-Made by somebody in Malta, isn't it?

-I know.

0:37:190:37:23

You always say anything from Malta always does well... Oh, ten.

0:37:230:37:27

10, 15, 20, five, 30, at £30 I have it away.

0:37:270:37:29

And five, new bidder at 35, fresh blood, and 40 now on the Internet.

0:37:290:37:33

At £40, I have, the bid is on the Internet, £40,

0:37:330:37:35

and 45, 50, £50,

0:37:350:37:38

plenty of Internet action here today.

0:37:380:37:40

£50 I have now. At £50, it sells then, going away.

0:37:400:37:43

Selling away at 50, fair warning at 50, 60.

0:37:430:37:46

At £60, still going, £60 we have, 70, £70 and away.

0:37:460:37:51

Done, are you all sure?

0:37:510:37:53

This time, going away, selling at 70... Thank you.

0:37:530:37:56

-That's good.

-That's all right.

-It's a profit.

-Yeah, that's OK.

0:37:560:37:59

The saxophone hits the right note with someone.

0:37:590:38:03

A profit for Jonty to the tune of nearly £10.

0:38:030:38:07

Now, it's the moment that James has been nervously anticipating,

0:38:070:38:09

it's the Chinese wooden statue which cost him £225.

0:38:090:38:15

He's placed all his hopes on it, so can it do the business?

0:38:150:38:18

How are you feeling? What is your gut telling you?

0:38:180:38:23

I don't know, I really don't. I know that it should make 350 quid.

0:38:230:38:28

It needs to make 290 for a break-even.

0:38:280:38:31

I'm hoping, I'm hoping, but we'll see.

0:38:310:38:36

£100 bid, thank you. £100 I have now.

0:38:360:38:41

£100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150,

0:38:410:38:45

160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 220, at 220.

0:38:450:38:50

At £220, I have now. £220.

0:38:500:38:53

At £220, done?

0:38:530:38:56

-Selling away. At £220...

-Well...

0:38:560:38:58

Oh, that's got to hurt.

0:39:000:39:02

Sold for less than he originally paid.

0:39:020:39:04

And add in all the fees,

0:39:040:39:06

it's a monumental loss for The Lionheart,

0:39:060:39:08

almost £50 down.

0:39:080:39:10

Not much love in the room for the Chinese statue, then.

0:39:110:39:16

Can he do any better with his next item?

0:39:160:39:18

Oh, it's another Chinese figure,

0:39:180:39:20

but it sells for £40,

0:39:200:39:22

making James a profit of just over £8.

0:39:220:39:25

Now, it's time for the final lot of the day.

0:39:250:39:29

The item that could make or break the whole contest.

0:39:290:39:32

It's Jonty's £10 potato scales.

0:39:320:39:35

This is a big one.

0:39:380:39:41

There are people poised on the telephones

0:39:450:39:48

for those international bids.

0:39:480:39:49

That's the guy from the local fruit and veg stall, he's obviously interested.

0:39:490:39:52

Lot number 1765 now, a set of green painted potato scales.

0:39:520:39:56

-Just look at them!

-It's a choice lot for someone, I'm sure.

0:39:560:39:59

Cor!

0:39:590:40:01

£20 and away for the sack here. 20 away. 20, 20, tenner, then.

0:40:010:40:05

£10 is bid, thank you.

0:40:050:40:06

Don't be ridiculous!

0:40:060:40:09

Don't be ridiculous!

0:40:090:40:10

At £15 now. Internet bidding at £15.

0:40:100:40:12

Internet bidding!

0:40:120:40:13

It's going to go to Ireland at £15. Selling away at 15...

0:40:130:40:17

Yes! Woo!

0:40:170:40:20

He has trapped wind.

0:40:200:40:23

No, that was Jonty getting excited

0:40:230:40:25

that his loss was only £3.67.

0:40:250:40:30

So, the sun is setting on our mighty Showdown

0:40:310:40:35

and we're heading for a photo finish.

0:40:350:40:38

Both our experts started the contest with £1,000 of their own money

0:40:380:40:43

to spend at four different antiques events.

0:40:430:40:46

After costs, James 'The Lionheart' Lewis spent just over £713.

0:40:460:40:53

Not nearly as much as Jonty 'The Hitman' Hearnden,

0:40:530:40:57

he spent close to £891.

0:40:570:41:00

All of the money that James and Jonty have made from today's challenge

0:41:000:41:02

will be going to a charity of their choice.

0:41:020:41:06

So, without further ado, it's time to find out who is today's

0:41:060:41:09

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.

0:41:090:41:12

How are you doing?

0:41:120:41:15

Good to see you.

0:41:150:41:17

That auction, we didn't do too well between us, did we?

0:41:170:41:20

You did all right, actually.

0:41:200:41:22

Very small profit, but you a loss.

0:41:220:41:25

James Lewis loss, those words don't really kind of like go together, do they?

0:41:250:41:29

I don't like them to, really. But there were are.

0:41:290:41:32

-So, it's all down to our private sales.

-Certainly is.

-OK.

0:41:320:41:37

-Shall we have a look?

-Are we ready?

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:41:370:41:39

-After three.

-Three.

-Two.

-One.

0:41:390:41:45

Oh, that is close!

0:41:450:41:47

I thought you'd got that. That was so close.

0:41:470:41:53

So, the slimmest of victories for Mr Lewis today,

0:41:530:41:57

but our two experts have been building up their profit pots over a week of challenges

0:41:570:42:01

and it's now time to find out how much they've made in total.

0:42:010:42:05

So, James, this is the big one.

0:42:060:42:08

Now time to find out who's made the most profit,

0:42:080:42:12

because I think it could be me.

0:42:120:42:13

Do you know, I don't think it is.

0:42:130:42:16

0K, one, two, three.

0:42:160:42:18

Wow. What a sum, look at you.

0:42:200:42:22

Well, between us, we have raised £10,000.

0:42:220:42:26

-That's great.

-Brilliant. Good.

-Well done.

0:42:260:42:29

It's been fun, Jonty, come on.

0:42:290:42:32

So, that's a mighty overall victory for The Lionheart.

0:42:320:42:34

Both our experts have made fantastic profits,

0:42:340:42:37

and all that money will be going to their chosen charities.

0:42:370:42:42

The charity I've chosen to give my money to is one that is very dear to me.

0:42:420:42:45

My daughter started her life there,

0:42:450:42:47

that's why I've decided to give my money to the Derby Hospital Premature Baby Unit,

0:42:470:42:53

and that's going to save lives.

0:42:530:42:55

My chosen charity is the British Dyslexia Association.

0:42:550:42:59

I myself am dyslexic and have children that are dyslexic

0:42:590:43:02

and I know sometimes how difficult it can be.

0:43:020:43:06

Yes, it's been a week of no-holds barred combat.

0:43:060:43:10

James and Jonty have both put their money where their mouths are

0:43:100:43:13

and proved they can make a convincing profit from antiques

0:43:130:43:16

when their own money is on the line.
