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...

-Mwah!

0:00:080:00:11

..to see who can make the most money from buying and selling.

0:00:110:00:15

It's amazing, truly amazing.

0:00:160:00:18

Get ready for a rip-roaring rollercoaster ride.

0:00:180:00:21

It's the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Showdown,

0:00:210:00:25

the greatest challenge our experts have faced yet.

0:00:250:00:29

Our sparring Spartans of the antiques trade

0:00:290:00:31

will be tested to the absolute limit as they're challenged to scour

0:00:310:00:35

the length and breadth of the country and Continent

0:00:350:00:39

to find antiques and collectables to sell on for profit.

0:00:390:00:42

Coming up - our experts use every trick in the book to secure victory.

0:00:420:00:47

140 euros and cost me a kiss.

0:00:470:00:49

That's not the kind of deal Mark Stacey can do.

0:00:490:00:51

And they keep their minds focused on the prize.

0:00:510:00:55

The auctioneer among us has said I will make a profit on this.

0:00:550:00:59

But who will take centre stage when it comes to winning?

0:00:590:01:03

Take a bow, dear.

0:01:030:01:05

It promises to be a fight of mammoth proportions

0:01:050:01:08

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

0:01:080:01:11

of this week's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Showdown.

0:01:110:01:14

This is the Showdown, where two of our finely honed antiques gladiators

0:01:280:01:33

compete for the biggest profit margin

0:01:330:01:35

and ultimate victory over their opponent.

0:01:350:01:38

It's a battle of the Titans between dealer and auctioneer today

0:01:380:01:42

as the bulging biceps of Brighton, Mark "the Maverick" Stacey,

0:01:420:01:46

takes on Lincolnshire's rock hard ice queen, Kate "the Diamond" Bateman.

0:01:460:01:51

# Are you a Gladiator? #

0:01:510:01:53

This will be a challenge unlike any other.

0:01:540:01:57

A true test of their antiques know-how, saleroom stamina

0:01:570:02:01

and collectables contacts.

0:02:010:02:03

Time to find out what's in store.

0:02:030:02:05

-Kate, this is the nerve-wracking bit.

-Yeah.

-The Showdown.

0:02:060:02:10

-I'm a little worried. Shall we open the envelopes?

-Shall I start?

-Go on.

0:02:100:02:13

-Uh-oh.

-Kate and Mark, welcome to your finest and biggest challenge yet.

0:02:130:02:19

The Showdown.

0:02:190:02:21

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

0:02:210:02:26

-You have to buy two items at each event.

-Right.

0:02:260:02:30

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

0:02:300:02:33

You can each sell up to four items wherever you want.

0:02:330:02:36

The remaining items will go into an auction.

0:02:360:02:38

Your auction will be in Cambridge in approximately eight weeks from now

0:02:380:02:42

in competition with your opponent.

0:02:420:02:44

Choose your items wisely

0:02:440:02:45

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

0:02:450:02:49

You might have the advantage, being the auctioneer.

0:02:490:02:51

You can sell four other items any other way, so half of it

0:02:510:02:55

-you can sell it to your dealer friends and contacts.

-I'm very happy.

0:02:550:02:59

-I think I'm going to go the other way.

-The other way?

0:02:590:03:02

-Very good luck, Kate.

-Good luck.

0:03:020:03:04

The game is on.

0:03:040:03:06

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

0:03:060:03:11

and that must include any restoration repairs and buying fees.

0:03:110:03:14

It promises to be a cut-throat competition

0:03:140:03:17

and there can only be one winner - the one who bags the most profit!

0:03:170:03:22

Our mighty contenders must buy two items in each of the buying locations

0:03:220:03:26

they visit during their week of Put Your Money challenges.

0:03:260:03:30

A foreign market,

0:03:320:03:33

an auction,

0:03:330:03:34

a car boot sale and an antiques fair in the UK.

0:03:340:03:38

The first battleground in today's epic challenge

0:03:380:03:41

is an antiques market in fashion-centric Paris.

0:03:410:03:44

With 380 stalls, they need to take the bull by the horns

0:03:440:03:49

and dig straight in.

0:03:490:03:50

This has caught my eye.

0:03:500:03:52

I know what you're thinking, it's only half a table.

0:03:520:03:55

You're right, it is only half a table because it's missing its glass top

0:03:550:03:59

but that's cool, it's a console table so you'd put it up against the wall.

0:03:590:04:02

It's only got its front two legs. I think a dealer would see the potential

0:04:020:04:06

and it's not very expensive to get glass cut.

0:04:060:04:08

I reckon that's something we might be able to haggle over with the price

0:04:080:04:12

because it's obviously a bit damaged. So, see how we go.

0:04:120:04:15

Get your haggle on, Kate, as across the market

0:04:150:04:17

your arch rival is lining up a sucker punch of his own.

0:04:170:04:22

Now, I've just found a very interesting piece of glass.

0:04:220:04:25

It's from the 1930s,

0:04:250:04:28

it's acid-etched, which means the design's been burned out with acid.

0:04:280:04:32

It's lovely. It's a nice big glass charger.

0:04:320:04:35

There are one or two little air bubbles in that

0:04:350:04:39

but it's signed and I've just looked at it through my eye glass

0:04:390:04:42

and it's signed Daum Nancy, a very, very good name.

0:04:420:04:46

It's priced 240 euros, which is not a bad price.

0:04:460:04:51

I'd like to get it for maybe 150 euros. We can ask.

0:04:510:04:54

Maverick moves in for the kill.

0:04:540:04:56

-I was hoping we might get it for 140 euros.

-150.

0:04:560:05:01

-You said 150...

-I did, I did. Could I push you another five euros?

0:05:030:05:07

-Could we say 145?

-What?

-Please!

-It's a...

0:05:070:05:10

And I... Possible or not?

0:05:110:05:14

-Yeah.

-Are you sure?

-Cash.

-Cash.

0:05:170:05:20

The Maverick's tough negotiating clearly hasn't put the vendor off his breakfast

0:05:200:05:24

and savvy Stacey bags an almighty purchase at nearly £132.

0:05:240:05:29

Across the market, his rival is trying out a favourite bargaining technique

0:05:290:05:33

on the half table vendor.

0:05:330:05:36

-Cafe noir sans sucre, sans lait.

-OK, 48 and a black coffee. Fini.

0:05:360:05:41

Merci, monsieur.

0:05:410:05:43

With the coffee included, that's nearly £45.

0:05:430:05:47

Mark isn't about to be outdone though.

0:05:490:05:51

I've found something quite interesting here.

0:05:510:05:54

It's a little enamel panel.

0:05:540:05:58

Limoges in France produced a lot of ceramic factories

0:05:580:06:01

but also a lot of enamelling.

0:06:010:06:03

-Is it possible we can do it for 50 euros?

-The best I can do is 60.

0:06:030:06:07

-Merci, I'll take it.

-You'll take it?

-60 euros. Thank you.

0:06:070:06:11

That's got a potential of making a profit at auction.

0:06:110:06:15

Mr Stacey, what have you been buying? Show and tell!

0:06:150:06:18

-No, I'm not showing you.

-Really?

0:06:180:06:20

-I'm going to cover the price.

-All right.

0:06:200:06:22

I've just found a lovely Limoges enamel plaque.

0:06:220:06:26

If that came into your saleroom what would you put on it as an auction estimate?

0:06:260:06:30

-£60-£100, I suppose.

-I think you're being a bit mean.

0:06:300:06:33

I've just bought it off the gentleman for 60 euros.

0:06:330:06:36

-That's all right, you'll make a profit.

-I think so.

-That's about a tenner a naked lady.

0:06:360:06:41

You've heard it from the horse's mouth, so to speak!

0:06:410:06:44

The auctioneer amongst us has said I will make a profit on this.

0:06:440:06:48

Never trust the opposition, Stacey.

0:06:480:06:50

He bags his second item for just under £55

0:06:500:06:53

and he's home and dry in this first round.

0:06:530:06:57

The debonair Diamond knows her couture

0:06:570:07:00

and her flair for French chic draws her to a slightly saucy item.

0:07:000:07:05

These are really interesting. What they are, are costume designs.

0:07:050:07:09

They are by this guy here, Be'tout.

0:07:090:07:12

The one that's caught my eye is this racy lady up here.

0:07:120:07:16

She is so 1930s, it's ridiculous.

0:07:160:07:18

Think of all those Chiparus figures, all these Art Deco dancers.

0:07:180:07:22

I really like her but it's at 190 euros.

0:07:220:07:25

I need to bring the price down,

0:07:250:07:27

so let's see what we can do with the dealer.

0:07:270:07:29

-Monsieur, un moment?

-Oui, je vous ecoute.

-J'adore ca. J'adore ca.

0:07:290:07:34

-C'est combien, le absolument meilleur prix?

-Alors, donnez-moi 140.

0:07:340:07:38

-140 euros.

-Plus...un baiser.

0:07:380:07:41

And a kiss!

0:07:410:07:43

-Le baiser, c'est livre!

-C'est typiquement francais!

0:07:430:07:46

I can't say no. The kiss is free so we've agreed on 140 euros and a kiss.

0:07:460:07:51

Absolument. Le baiser? Merci, monsieur.

0:07:510:07:56

# A man eater, make you work hard, make you spend hard

0:07:560:08:00

# Make you want all of her love. #

0:08:000:08:03

I'm so pleased with that. 140 euros and it cost me a kiss.

0:08:030:08:06

Not the kind of deal Mark Stacey could do.

0:08:060:08:09

They don't call her the Diamond Diva for nothing.

0:08:090:08:12

With just over £127 and a sweet kiss, she's sealed the deal.

0:08:120:08:15

As if we ever doubted her.

0:08:150:08:18

At the end of the foreign market round,

0:08:180:08:20

our gladiators are neck and neck.

0:08:200:08:23

Both our dealers started out with £1,000 of their own money.

0:08:250:08:29

Mark spent just over £186,

0:08:290:08:32

leaving him with a little under £814 for the next three rounds.

0:08:320:08:37

His rival, Kate, has spent just under £172,

0:08:370:08:39

leaving her with a tad over £828 in her kitty.

0:08:390:08:45

Battle scarred but with fire in their bellies,

0:08:460:08:49

our antiques gladiators are back in Blighty and chomping at the bit for round two.

0:08:490:08:54

Their buying bonanza continues at Thompsons Auctions in Harrogate.

0:08:540:08:58

It's a general sale so our warriors will need to flex all their treasure-hunting muscles

0:08:580:09:03

to root out the two hidden gems they need.

0:09:030:09:05

They've got plenty of cash burning holes in their pockets

0:09:050:09:08

but our duo have to factor in saleroom fees

0:09:080:09:12

on top of every purchase, so the pressure is sky high!

0:09:120:09:15

Five, I have.

0:09:150:09:18

Our gladiators have only had a short time to suss out potential profit

0:09:180:09:22

before the sale gets under way.

0:09:220:09:24

Now the moment has come and the hammer begins to fall.

0:09:240:09:28

First into the fray is Mark and he's decided to bid on a job-lot of,

0:09:280:09:32

well, everything but the kitchen sink by the looks of it.

0:09:320:09:36

Fiver, fiver away. Five pounds, eight, ten, 12, 15.

0:09:360:09:41

No, 12 on my left, at £12.

0:09:410:09:43

-So tempted to raise my paddle right now!

-12.

-What's in there, then?

0:09:430:09:47

-Spill the beans.

-No, no.

0:09:470:09:49

It's a brave and some may say risky move for the Maverick.

0:09:490:09:52

But for five boxes of, erm, stuff for just under £15 with fees,

0:09:520:09:57

it's a bargain buy.

0:09:570:09:58

Later in the day our hammer hero discovers

0:09:580:10:01

exactly what he's got for his money.

0:10:010:10:03

One, two, three, four, five boxes of mixed household china and books.

0:10:030:10:11

There's a '50s vase there. We've got a carriage clock.

0:10:130:10:16

There's a decanter. We've got a vase that goes with the vase over there.

0:10:160:10:21

We've got a lovely little duck. Nothing much in there.

0:10:210:10:25

It's a saltpipe. There we are. I have no idea what a saltpipe is.

0:10:250:10:29

Maverick Mark decides to pick out a few pieces as potentials for selling

0:10:290:10:34

and donates the rest to charity.

0:10:340:10:35

That's one buy in the bag.

0:10:350:10:38

Now, his opponent is poised and ready for her first move.

0:10:380:10:42

469 - two Persian rugs. I have a ten bid. 12 now.

0:10:420:10:45

-£12.

-12, lady's bid. 15 now. In the room at £12.

0:10:450:10:50

-Two for 12.

-Selling at 12.

-Magic carpet!

0:10:500:10:53

-You're looking very confident there.

-I'm looking smug!

0:10:530:10:58

I just think that's cheap. £6 each for a hand-knotted woollen rug?!

0:10:580:11:02

A triumphant Kate bags the rugs for just under £15 with fees

0:11:020:11:06

and later in the day she gets up close and personal.

0:11:060:11:10

Hello, down there. I'm so pleased with these.

0:11:100:11:13

Can you see how the colour changes here?

0:11:130:11:15

You've got a light grey background here and this one's darker.

0:11:150:11:18

This is called a brash and it's really sought-after in older rugs

0:11:180:11:22

because it shows that it's been hand-dyed with vegetable dyes.

0:11:220:11:26

If these were in my auction,

0:11:260:11:27

I'd be estimating the two together at maybe £100 to £150.

0:11:270:11:31

I can't believe I'm not going to get £50 for these.

0:11:310:11:34

Yes, fighting talk from our Lincolnshire lady.

0:11:340:11:38

Has Kate's saleroom experience given her the edge over her opponent?

0:11:380:11:41

She thinks it's all over, but Maverick's coming out fighting.

0:11:410:11:45

Oak cupboard, 713.

0:11:450:11:48

60, five, five, 70, five, and one more, 80 in the room.

0:11:480:11:53

In the room now at £80. Selling at 80.

0:11:530:11:56

-You got that.

-I rather like that. It's very decorative.

0:11:560:12:00

A weighty win for Stacey,

0:12:000:12:02

netting an Edwardian cabinet for just over £99 with fees.

0:12:020:12:06

Mark's got his two items in the bag but, with the auction over,

0:12:060:12:09

the Diamond is refusing to say die.

0:12:090:12:13

What I was after is, there are some costume beads, 95 down here.

0:12:130:12:17

-They have a £20 reserve.

-Yeah, he said you could do it for 18.

0:12:170:12:20

-That's fine.

-Brilliant! I will have those.

0:12:200:12:23

A last-minute deal by saleroom-savvy Kate.

0:12:230:12:25

Just over £22 for the box of necklaces.

0:12:250:12:29

And with that, it's time to ring the time-out bell on the auction round.

0:12:290:12:33

Mark has bought items great and small today

0:12:330:12:36

and Kate has kept it cheap and cheerful.

0:12:360:12:38

But which tactic will be the winning one when it comes to selling?

0:12:380:12:42

Time for a quick look at the bank balances.

0:12:420:12:45

Our duo each went into battle with £1,000 of their own money.

0:12:450:12:49

Mark has spent just over £300,

0:12:490:12:51

leaving him with nearly £700 to spend in the next two rounds.

0:12:510:12:55

His opponent, Kate, has spent a touch over £209 so far,

0:12:550:12:59

leaving her with just under £791.

0:12:590:13:02

Buckle up for round three of this epic bargain bonanza

0:13:050:13:09

as our warriors prepare to unleash car boot carnage

0:13:090:13:12

at a sale in Leicestershire.

0:13:120:13:14

Rooting out potential profit amongst car boot clutter will push our duo to the limit

0:13:140:13:20

and it's our dark-haired Diamond who packs the first punch.

0:13:200:13:24

-What's this, then? What do you know about this?

-It's a paperweight.

0:13:240:13:27

It was made by Gaunt. I'm assuming it was from London.

0:13:270:13:31

Here we go. JR Gaunt. What do they do?

0:13:310:13:33

-They make car badges, Masonic medals.

-Like car mascots and stuff.

0:13:330:13:37

-I quite like it. How much do you want for it?

-£10.

-I can't really say no.

0:13:370:13:40

I'm not even going to haggle with that. I like that.

0:13:400:13:43

That'll be a punch in the eye for Stacey as well.

0:13:430:13:46

The gloves are well and truly off.

0:13:470:13:50

It's 1-0 to canny Kate, but the Maverick won't take that lying down.

0:13:500:13:54

-Can we get anywhere near £10, sir?

-I'll go £12.50.

0:13:540:13:59

-£12 and you've got a deal.

-£12, then.

-That's very kind of you.

0:13:590:14:02

Thank you very much.

0:14:020:14:04

Wham! That's 1-1. A Victorian box for just £12.

0:14:050:14:09

Watch your back, though, as our Diamond Diva is taking this car boot by storm.

0:14:090:14:14

I've got these three items and I'm really pleased. This one's not very much.

0:14:140:14:19

It's just a little coin holder called Magic Pocket, made of brass.

0:14:190:14:22

This one is really cute.

0:14:220:14:24

This is a tape measure but it's in the form of a fishing reel,

0:14:240:14:27

which is quite cool.

0:14:270:14:28

I think a fishing enthusiast would really like that.

0:14:280:14:32

But this is what I really wanted. This is an actual antique.

0:14:320:14:35

Hooray, we found one today!

0:14:350:14:38

This is Meiji period, so 1910, 1912, something like that.

0:14:380:14:41

A Japanese little brass snuff box.

0:14:410:14:43

It's a little bit battered and it's not signed, but I think that's a really nice piece.

0:14:430:14:48

I'm sure a collector is going to love that.

0:14:480:14:50

So, for £10, I'm thrilled with that.

0:14:500:14:53

Our Lincolnshire lady can sniff out an antique a mile off

0:14:530:14:56

and that's Kate bought up for round three already.

0:14:560:15:00

But Maverick's hot on her heels.

0:15:000:15:03

I spotted this a bit earlier on. It's a 19th-century pot lid.

0:15:030:15:06

Generally referred to as Prattware because of these types of colours.

0:15:060:15:10

This would have gone on, originally, a little pot underneath,

0:15:100:15:14

within which would have been housed some gentlemen's relish.

0:15:140:15:18

It's got a little bit of damage and it's priced up at £45,

0:15:180:15:21

but the dealer kindly offered it to me earlier on for £20.

0:15:210:15:25

Sir, is there any chance you could let me have it for £15? Please?

0:15:250:15:30

-I'm just thinking about my children! Yes, that's fine.

-Oh, you're kind.

0:15:330:15:37

Thank you very much. Yes! An antique!

0:15:370:15:40

Mark proves he too can root out treasures from the trash.

0:15:400:15:44

The Diamond and the Maverick spent a measly £20 and £27 respectively.

0:15:460:15:51

So, at the end of the car boot round, how are our duo faring?

0:15:510:15:55

They both started this challenge with a budget of £1,000.

0:15:570:16:00

After round three, Mark has spent over £327

0:16:000:16:04

so has just under £673 to spend in the final round.

0:16:040:16:09

Kate has spent over £229, leaving her nearly £771 for round four.

0:16:100:16:18

We're into the final furlong of this epic race

0:16:180:16:20

and this last round takes place at Swinderby Antiques Fair in Lincolnshire.

0:16:200:16:25

The sun may not be shining, but there are plenty of dealers selling here today

0:16:250:16:30

and the pressure is one for our duo to pack some final killer punches.

0:16:300:16:34

I think we've got to buy something bigger because we need bigger profits.

0:16:340:16:38

I know, and we've not had that much choice. I think here should be easier.

0:16:380:16:43

You need that buzz. You need something to speak to you.

0:16:430:16:45

I have two items that need to talk to me and I want them to talk to me and not you!

0:16:450:16:49

-So I'm going to go.

-Not a chance!

0:16:490:16:52

Steady on, Mark!

0:16:520:16:53

Both our bargain bloodhounds are desperate to sniff out the best treasures.

0:16:530:16:58

I'm hoping that something screams, "Buy me!"

0:16:580:17:01

The finishing line is in sight

0:17:080:17:10

and Maverick is determined to reach for the stars.

0:17:100:17:14

-Could I just ask you how much these pair of stars are?

-£85 each, sir.

0:17:140:17:18

-85 each?

-I know.

-Why are they so expensive?

-They're stainless steal.

0:17:180:17:22

If I took the pair, what would be the very least you could take for them?

0:17:220:17:26

-About £150.

-£75 each.

0:17:260:17:28

I'm going to think about these, because it's quite a lot of money.

0:17:280:17:31

You could almost say, it's up in the heavens, that price!

0:17:310:17:34

Mark is being cautious.

0:17:370:17:38

A risky strategy, as his opponent shows no such restraint.

0:17:380:17:43

She's resorted to her trusted old trick of throwing in a cuppa as part payment.

0:17:430:17:47

-Your cup of tea.

-Are you taking it now?

-I'll take it now.

0:17:480:17:51

-That's marvellous. Enjoy your tea.

-Thank you very much.

-Stay dry.

0:17:510:17:55

Thanks very much.

0:17:550:17:56

Right, well, I've just bought this clock

0:17:560:17:59

and I'm really pleased with that.

0:17:590:18:01

It's a four-glass clock, meaning basically it's got four sides.

0:18:010:18:04

It's Victorian and it's a really nice quality. £300 and a cup of tea. I'm really happy with that buy.

0:18:040:18:11

1-0 to the Diamond Dealer. With the tea, that's £301.50.

0:18:110:18:16

A mighty purchase, and quick as lightening

0:18:160:18:20

canny Kate makes it two in a row.

0:18:200:18:22

-90. Go on. 90 and we shake hands.

-Go on.

-90 quid.

-Shall we shake hands?

0:18:220:18:27

-You may kiss my hand, if you wish?!

-May I?

-There we are! Thank you.

0:18:270:18:31

Our Lincolnshire lovely is on a charm offensive,

0:18:310:18:35

bagging the Victorian silver-plated cruet set for £90.

0:18:350:18:38

That's Kate over the finishing line

0:18:380:18:40

in today's epic showdown extravaganza.

0:18:400:18:43

But her steely-willed opponent is never far behind.

0:18:430:18:47

What have I bought here? I don't know, but I've spent £15 on it.

0:18:470:18:52

It's actually, I think, in rosewood, which is a really expensive wood.

0:18:520:18:56

We've got nice cabriole legs in the front

0:18:560:19:00

which indicate it's Victorian, around about 1860.

0:19:000:19:03

I think, for 15 quid, I'm sitting on a jolly good profit here.

0:19:030:19:09

Another buy in the bag for the Brighton Basher.

0:19:110:19:13

With the clock ticking down on today's antiques adventure,

0:19:130:19:16

Mark knows exactly where he's headed for his final showdown purchase.

0:19:160:19:20

At the end of the day, you don't really want to take them home with you.

0:19:200:19:25

-That depends how much you offer me!

-I was thinking of 100, but is that pushing you too far?

0:19:250:19:30

-130 would be better.

-Oh.

-I know.

0:19:300:19:33

-I've come down from 175.

-You have.

0:19:330:19:36

-130. 110?

-We'll split the difference.

-115.

0:19:360:19:40

-We've got a deal. Thank you so much.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:19:400:19:43

That's a colossal final purchase for our star-gazing supremo

0:19:430:19:48

and heralds the finale of the showdown buying.

0:19:480:19:51

It's been a battle of epic proportions as our duelling duo

0:19:510:19:54

fought across the country and Continent in pursuit of profit.

0:19:540:19:58

But what have they both spent?

0:19:580:20:01

Our resilient rivals started this ultimate challenge

0:20:020:20:05

with £1,000 of their own cash.

0:20:050:20:08

Maverick Mark has kept his spending low.

0:20:080:20:11

At just over £457, he's used less than half his budget.

0:20:110:20:14

Diamond Kate Bateman built up to a spending spree finale

0:20:160:20:19

and her total stands at just under £621.

0:20:190:20:24

Time for the bit we all love. Our duo to size up the enemy's goods.

0:20:240:20:28

-We've finally got all eight of our items.

-I know.

0:20:280:20:32

-It's been a struggle, hasn't it?

-To get all eight, it's been harsh.

0:20:320:20:35

I'm impressed with your two little purchases there.

0:20:350:20:39

They're small but beautiful. The clock is gorgeous.

0:20:390:20:42

The stars are going to come out for me when I sell these.

0:20:420:20:45

-The star of the show, are they?

-Absolutely.

0:20:450:20:47

It's going to be hard to choose which items to put into the auction and which to sell privately.

0:20:470:20:52

Very hard. We're going to have to think and play canny on that one.

0:20:520:20:55

The buying bonanza was just the start of this ferocious battle of the sexes.

0:20:570:21:02

Back home, our feisty fighters now focus everything they have

0:21:050:21:09

on selling their wares for maximum profit.

0:21:090:21:12

As well as securing sales, they'll also face an evil twist - the auction,

0:21:120:21:17

where they could stand to lose everything they've fought for

0:21:170:21:21

if their strategies aren't planned to perfection.

0:21:210:21:24

They must now decide which of their items they'll risk under the hammer,

0:21:240:21:28

with only the auctioneer as an ally.

0:21:280:21:31

In Northamptonshire, auctioneer Kate, who's no stranger to salerooms,

0:21:330:21:37

has thought long and hard about her choices.

0:21:370:21:40

I've finally decided which items I'm going to put into the auction.

0:21:400:21:44

The rugs, which I got from the auction.

0:21:440:21:46

But they were so cheap, I can't imagine I'm not going to make a profit.

0:21:460:21:50

My silver-plated cruet set. The three items I got from the car boot sale.

0:21:500:21:55

The costume jewellery and the table.

0:21:550:21:57

I thought I had a private buyer for this

0:21:570:22:00

but it's given me nothing but headaches.

0:22:000:22:02

I paid about £45 for it in the French market

0:22:020:22:05

and I had to have the glass cut, which cost me £20,

0:22:050:22:08

which is quite a lot more than I was expecting.

0:22:080:22:11

I have to put at least four into the auction, so let's see.

0:22:110:22:14

The Diamond is feeling the pressure.

0:22:140:22:17

In Brighton, veteran dealer Mark has also bravely chosen the items he'll risk at auction.

0:22:190:22:25

I've decided to place five items into the auction.

0:22:250:22:28

Firstly, the beautiful vases from that job lot, remember?

0:22:280:22:33

I like these because they're nice, honest antique items.

0:22:330:22:36

19th-century. And being a pair,

0:22:360:22:38

it might appeal to both the trade and the private buyer.

0:22:380:22:42

The lovely Victorian box I purchased in the car boot sale.

0:22:420:22:45

The oak chest I've looked at a lot.

0:22:450:22:47

I think it might appeal to the type of buyer

0:22:470:22:50

that's going to the Cambridgeshire auction.

0:22:500:22:52

The lovely Limoges panel from Paris I've chosen

0:22:520:22:55

because it's got St George on horseback

0:22:550:22:58

surrounded by rather nice maidens.

0:22:580:23:02

It just might appeal to the odd academic or two.

0:23:020:23:05

The chair came from the antiques fair. I've decided to put this in, again, largely because of the price

0:23:050:23:10

and because it's ripe for someone to buy for redoing.

0:23:100:23:15

Kate, you may well be the auctioneer, but trust me,

0:23:150:23:19

when the gavel falls, these are the winning lots.

0:23:190:23:24

Our warriors have selected their auction artillery and they must now

0:23:270:23:30

turn their attention to finding buyers for all their other items.

0:23:300:23:34

The Diamond still needs to sell a Punch and Judy paperweight,

0:23:350:23:39

a Victorian clock, and her French drawing of a lady.

0:23:390:23:43

The Maverick has to find homes for a glass dome Nancy dish,

0:23:430:23:47

a pair of steel stars, and his 19th-century pot lid.

0:23:470:23:51

Both our heavyweight hustlers hit their phones,

0:23:530:23:56

raid their contacts books and toil all hours to secure those sales.

0:23:560:24:01

They'll do anything for profit but, until they've shaken on it

0:24:010:24:04

and the money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.

0:24:040:24:08

In Brighton, Maverick Mark gets swiftly down to business

0:24:080:24:11

with the French glass dish that cost him over £131.

0:24:110:24:15

He's meeting Paul, who's acting on behalf of a friend.

0:24:150:24:18

Lovely quality. There are quite a few marks on it, I have to say.

0:24:190:24:23

I think those are air bubbles, to be honest with you.

0:24:230:24:28

-You know, it is hand-made.

-Yes. Absolutely, yes.

0:24:280:24:31

-It's not machine-made.

-I can appreciate that.

0:24:310:24:33

Well, we have to get to the crunch of the problem now, don't we?

0:24:330:24:37

-Which is...

-Which is price.

-Absolutely.

0:24:370:24:39

I think we could go to 220,

0:24:390:24:41

but I don't really want to put much more of a higher price on it than that.

0:24:410:24:46

Right. I wouldn't want to go below £250.

0:24:460:24:49

-I really wouldn't want to sell it for below that.

-OK, we've got a deal.

0:24:490:24:54

An outstanding start for tough negotiator Maverick.

0:24:540:24:57

He waltzes off with an incredible profit of just over £118.

0:24:570:25:02

In Northamptonshire, his rival has high hopes for her Punch paperweight

0:25:020:25:06

after contacting local Punch and Judy performer Chris.

0:25:060:25:10

One, two, three.

0:25:120:25:13

Will it make him pleased as Punch

0:25:130:25:16

and will it make her a profit on the tenner it cost?

0:25:160:25:18

That's the way to do it!

0:25:190:25:21

-This is my item that I bought. What do you think?

-Very interesting.

0:25:210:25:26

-Price-wise, I was looking for about £100 for it.

-100 is an awful lot.

0:25:260:25:31

I could go down a bit. How about 80? Something like that.

0:25:310:25:35

All I can think is, if my other half at home,

0:25:350:25:37

when I go home and tell her I've spent £80 on a paperweight,

0:25:370:25:41

she'll go ballistic.

0:25:410:25:42

-She might. What would keep her happy, do you think?

-Erm, 65-ish.

0:25:420:25:49

-Something around that region.

-How about 70? That's a round number.

0:25:500:25:54

-How about 70? Something like that.

-Go on, then. You're a hard sell.

0:25:540:25:57

-You'd better shake HIS hand for it.

-What do you say, Mr Punch?

0:25:570:26:03

That's the way to do it!

0:26:030:26:05

Yes, that is the way to do it, and that give canny Kate a cracking £60 profit.

0:26:050:26:11

Our Judy is off to a flying start.

0:26:110:26:13

And in Brighton her Mr Punch is also calling on showbiz friends.

0:26:150:26:19

He's brought his pair of stars to another pair of stars who are rehearsing their show.

0:26:190:26:23

The glamorous Miss Jason and Maisy Trott.

0:26:230:26:27

They cost the Maverick a steep £115.

0:26:270:26:30

He'd better hope the ladies are feeling generous.

0:26:300:26:34

Come on, girls!

0:26:340:26:36

-How are you?

-Very well.

0:26:380:26:41

I was hoping to get about £250 for the pair.

0:26:410:26:46

-250 quid?!

-For the pair. I thought they were so you.

0:26:470:26:52

-They are, but not for £250!

-You can have them engraved with your names.

0:26:520:26:58

-Do they light up?

-For that money, you can have them engraved with our names!

0:26:580:27:01

So if we pay the full price, what do we have engraved on there?

0:27:010:27:06

-Your stage name, of course.

-Let's shake hands.

0:27:060:27:10

Mark snares his £250 asking price and, after the £17 engraving costs,

0:27:120:27:18

there's still a show-stopping £118 profit.

0:27:180:27:22

Deal done, there's no dragging showgirl Stacey off the stage!

0:27:220:27:26

Look at that. A face only a mother could love!

0:27:260:27:28

# Let's go on with the show

0:27:300:27:35

Face front!

0:27:360:27:38

# Show. #

0:27:380:27:40

Take a bow, dear.

0:27:400:27:42

He's an antiques hero.

0:27:440:27:46

No, dear. Mark Stacey is an antique!

0:27:460:27:48

From one old antique to another.

0:27:520:27:54

In Oundle, young Kate has brought her Victorian four-glass clock

0:27:540:27:58

to expert dealer Joanne.

0:27:580:28:00

It cost her a whopping £300 plus a cup of tea.

0:28:000:28:03

Can the Diamond still make a profit?

0:28:030:28:06

-How about 340?

-340?

0:28:060:28:10

-350.

-Oh, dear!

-Come on!

0:28:100:28:13

-You're the only person that can bring this clock to life.

-I'll pay you 350.

0:28:130:28:18

350, brilliant. I'm glad it's gone to a good home. Thanks ever so much.

0:28:180:28:22

The Diamond Diva is mightily relieved to wind up

0:28:220:28:25

with just over £48 in the bank.

0:28:250:28:28

She's on a roll and the sparkly one's next stop is Cambridgeshire.

0:28:280:28:32

I'm here at Ely with its beautiful cathedral to see a friend of mine.

0:28:320:28:35

He's David Palmer and he's a freelance auctioneer and sometimes does auctioneering for my saleroom.

0:28:350:28:40

I'm here in his capacity as dealer

0:28:400:28:42

because he loves this kind of thing, racy ladies.

0:28:420:28:44

This ravishing female cost me about £130.

0:28:440:28:47

I'm hoping to get any profit over that

0:28:470:28:50

but I'm sure once he sees her he's going to fall in love.

0:28:500:28:53

Let's see what he thinks.

0:28:530:28:55

Because David is such a keen collector of erotica,

0:28:550:28:59

surely he is the perfect man to sell to?

0:28:590:29:01

But Kate knows all too well,

0:29:010:29:04

haggling with an auctioneer makes for a very tough sale.

0:29:040:29:08

Isn't she gorgeous? She's come all the way from France.

0:29:080:29:11

-What do you think?

-Yes, I like her.

-What sort of money do you see her at?

0:29:110:29:16

-Ooh, 80 to 100.

-80 to 100! Come on, 200 at the very least.

-200!

0:29:160:29:21

-She's amazing, look at her. She's gorgeous.

-It's just a sketch.

0:29:210:29:25

David, take me home!

0:29:250:29:27

-We'll have a deal at 140.

-150.

0:29:270:29:31

-So, you'll get 140, then.

-No, 150!

0:29:310:29:33

-I've got to make some kind of profit.

-140.

-Oh, you're a tough nut.

0:29:330:29:38

-So you mean I've over-bid again.

-Go on, 140.

-140.

0:29:380:29:41

-Done at 140.

-Look at that.

0:29:410:29:44

Our rock-hard Diamond holds out for a cheeky profit of just under £13.

0:29:440:29:50

Hardly the deal of the day but every little helps that charity pot.

0:29:500:29:55

On Brighton's beautiful seafront, the Maverick

0:29:550:29:58

is trawling for his own profit with his fishy antique pot lid.

0:29:580:30:03

He's come to the oldest fish restaurant in town to see manager Roberto

0:30:030:30:07

and he's looking to reel in more than the £15 he paid for it.

0:30:070:30:10

This was made in the 19th century, about 1830, 1840.

0:30:100:30:14

-Very nice, very nice.

-I'm not asking an awful lot for it, I don't think.

0:30:140:30:19

I'm hoping to get between £30-£40 for it.

0:30:190:30:22

OK. You start on 40, shall we start on 30?

0:30:220:30:25

How is that?

0:30:260:30:28

Well, I think in that case we're going to meet in the middle and say 35.

0:30:280:30:34

-35...

-Or are you going to batter me down?

0:30:340:30:37

-I tell you what, as you've got a nice face...

-Thanks!

0:30:370:30:42

-Flattery gets me everywhere...

-So have you.

-Thank you very much.

0:30:420:30:46

-You see, it works. £32.

-OK.

-32.

0:30:460:30:50

-32, I think.

-Wonderful.

0:30:500:30:53

Roberto took the bait and Mark nets himself a tasty profit.

0:30:530:30:58

-But our hungry hustler has bigger fish to fry.

-I love fish and chips.

0:30:580:31:03

-OK.

-But I'd love to know how you do all that battering.

0:31:030:31:07

-Is it possible you can show me?

-Yes, we can arrange that for you.

0:31:070:31:10

-Pull it out gently.

-Pull it out...

0:31:120:31:14

Don't do this at home. Don't do this at home.

0:31:140:31:18

Just leave it slowly like that. That's it. It's in.

0:31:180:31:22

I think I've found a new career.

0:31:220:31:24

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

0:31:260:31:30

how are our duelling dealers holding up?

0:31:300:31:33

Diamond Kate's steely resolve has netted her three sales

0:31:330:31:36

and make her just over £121 profit.

0:31:360:31:39

Maverick Mark's daring endeavour has also given him three sales

0:31:390:31:44

but he has the edge, with just over £253 profit so far.

0:31:440:31:48

Mercenary Mark may have nosed ahead but it means nothing at this stage.

0:31:510:31:56

Every one of our duo's remaining items will be sold at auction,

0:31:560:32:00

where our gladiators will have to stand and watch as their fate unfolds before them.

0:32:000:32:04

At this final battleground tensions are high as our contenders

0:32:040:32:07

prepare to face their fears.

0:32:070:32:09

Kate, the auction showdown. Are you nervous?

0:32:090:32:13

-I'm excited, but no reserves.

-I know. It's worrying, isn't it?

0:32:130:32:16

The potential for disaster is massive.

0:32:160:32:18

I really do hope you make a profit. No, I really do. No, I do, honestly.

0:32:180:32:23

-I don't think he means that.

-I really do, I really do mean profit.

0:32:230:32:28

And so the brawling begins.

0:32:280:32:30

Our feisty pair part to prowl the saleroom, surveying their own treasures

0:32:300:32:35

and sussing out the competition's.

0:32:350:32:37

I decided to out this lovely pair of vases back in to auction.

0:32:370:32:40

I'd bought them at the job lot.

0:32:400:32:42

I paid just under £15 for them, which is not bad.

0:32:420:32:46

I thought they might be worth £30-£50,

0:32:460:32:49

which is a jolly good profit if I can sell them for that.

0:32:490:32:52

But imagine my delight when I saw in the catalogue

0:32:520:32:55

the estimate is £80-£120.

0:32:550:32:57

If it makes anywhere near that, there'll be smiles all round for me.

0:32:570:33:01

I'm not sure about Diamond Kate though.

0:33:010:33:04

He's put a cheeky estimate of £80-£120.

0:33:040:33:07

There is only one word for that - wildly optimistic. That's two words!

0:33:070:33:10

Incredibly optimistic.

0:33:100:33:12

I don't think he's going to get that but he might because he's a jammy so-and-so.

0:33:120:33:16

Let's just hope he fails miserably, shall we?

0:33:160:33:18

Here are my rugs.

0:33:180:33:20

Mark was very rude about these when we bought them in the other auction

0:33:200:33:24

but they look good here surrounded by this nice furniture.

0:33:240:33:27

It cost me just under £15 and I'd be amazed if there isn't a profit here.

0:33:270:33:31

I think he's going to have to eat his words.

0:33:310:33:33

I thought the rug and carpet market was on the floor at the moment

0:33:330:33:37

but she swears by them.

0:33:370:33:39

The estimate is £60-£80. You make your mind up.

0:33:390:33:42

The auctioneer doesn't think they're old either.

0:33:420:33:45

But if they are and they make a lot of money I'll be eating my words.

0:33:450:33:48

It's all-out war today.

0:33:480:33:50

Our pair are in position but the usually composed auctioneer's nerves

0:33:500:33:54

are getting the better of her.

0:33:540:33:56

I normally love auctions but this is just horrible actually.

0:33:560:33:59

-That's because you're not up there.

-I'm on the wrong side of the paddle.

0:33:590:34:03

First into the fray are the Diamond's controversial rugs,

0:34:030:34:08

which cost her just under £15.

0:34:080:34:10

You were really rude about these but they might make real profit.

0:34:100:34:13

I wasn't rude about them, Kate. I was just giving a frank assessment.

0:34:130:34:18

-It's the sleeper of the sales!

-Yes. Of course it is.

0:34:180:34:20

Oh, here we go.

0:34:230:34:25

-Starting at £20...

-£20.

-I've made a profit!

0:34:250:34:29

25, 30.

0:34:290:34:30

-25, anywhere? I've sold at £30.

-30 quid!

0:34:300:34:34

That's brilliant! I'm really pleased with that.

0:34:340:34:38

If they're paying 30 quid for those I haven't got a chance with my quality items.

0:34:380:34:42

Wiping the smile from the Maverick's face, Kate's rugs do the business.

0:34:420:34:46

That's her first profit, just over £9 after saleroom fees.

0:34:460:34:51

She's immediately in the firing line again.

0:34:510:34:53

This time it's the table and glass top she paid just under £65 for.

0:34:530:34:59

But a distressed Diamond has suddenly lost her nerve.

0:34:590:35:02

-I don't want to listen.

-I'm nervous for you!

0:35:020:35:06

-At £30 commission here.

-30.

-Come on.

0:35:060:35:09

35 a table, at 35 anyone? Anyone with a £35 bid?

0:35:090:35:13

This one goes at once, twice and officially at £35.

0:35:130:35:17

Ooh! The hammer falls at £35.

0:35:170:35:19

With costs that makes the Diamond a loss of just over £36.

0:35:190:35:24

But she refuses to lose her sparkle.

0:35:240:35:27

-I will take that loss, actually, on the chin.

-That's the spirit, Kate.

0:35:270:35:31

Things could improve with her next item, the silver-plated cruet set.

0:35:310:35:35

But our experienced auctioneer has some regrets.

0:35:350:35:39

I've probably paid a bit much. I paid £90 for these.

0:35:390:35:42

65, 70. 75, 80...

0:35:420:35:45

-Keep going.

-85 bid. On bid at 85. I shall sell at £85.

0:35:450:35:51

Maverick barely disguises his joy at his rival's misfortune.

0:35:530:35:58

After fees, it puts the suddenly rocky Diamond

0:35:580:36:00

just under £21 in the red.

0:36:000:36:03

The Lincolnshire lady desperately needs a result with her box of necklaces.

0:36:030:36:06

# I gave you diamonds and pearls...#

0:36:060:36:09

-£40 on this.

-40.

0:36:110:36:12

# Give you the world...#

0:36:140:36:16

-50 bid.

-Keep going!

-They all want it at 55.

0:36:160:36:20

-That's brilliant.

-Final. Thank you.

0:36:200:36:23

What did we sell it at? A profit!

0:36:230:36:25

Little dance of happiness!

0:36:250:36:28

-Come on, Mr Grumpy.

-I'm really pleased for you actually.

0:36:280:36:31

THROUGH GRITTED TEETH: "I'm really pleased for you!"

0:36:310:36:34

Yes, the Maverick couldn't be more pleased for his rival.

0:36:340:36:37

Our Little Miss Sunshine gets her sparkle back

0:36:370:36:40

with a profit of just over £22.

0:36:400:36:43

She can afford to be nice about old Mr Grumpy's first lot.

0:36:430:36:46

How you can fail to make a profit on the French chair?

0:36:460:36:49

-If you like it, and look at the items you bought, I haven't got a chance.

-Isn't he mean?

0:36:490:36:54

55. 55, an absentee bid.

0:36:540:36:56

55 there, 60 the lady's bid, at 60. £60 the chair, selling at £60.

0:36:560:37:00

-Once, twice and we're done at £60.

-That's not bad, is it?

0:37:000:37:04

There you go. See how happy it makes you!

0:37:060:37:09

Come on, Mark, it won't kill you to celebrate.

0:37:090:37:12

The chair provides his first profit of the day,

0:37:120:37:16

just under £43 with fees, and he's off to a flying start,

0:37:160:37:19

as the £12 Victorian box from the car boot...

0:37:190:37:22

£60, then it goes. Once, twice...

0:37:220:37:24

Jammy devil.

0:37:240:37:26

..sells for a whopping £60,

0:37:260:37:28

giving him a profit of just under £37 including costs.

0:37:280:37:32

It's an incredible start for the Brighton bruiser

0:37:320:37:35

but his next lot, the oak chest,

0:37:350:37:38

has the seasoned performer's nerves jangling.

0:37:380:37:40

I paid just over £99 for it. They have estimated it at £200-£300.

0:37:400:37:45

Generous! I think you might scrape a profit, might be all right.

0:37:450:37:50

Just like all my other lots, so far, you mean?

0:37:500:37:53

£110, £120, £130, £140, £150, £160.

0:37:530:37:58

-Come on! Yes!

-£180 in the room.

0:37:580:38:01

190 on the web, sir. £190 bid. Is everyone done online at £190?

0:38:010:38:06

Sold.

0:38:060:38:08

Wow! I need some fresh air after that! Three profits so far!

0:38:080:38:12

I rather like this. I think I might come back.

0:38:120:38:17

Mr Grumpy is suddenly Mr Happy

0:38:170:38:19

and can't resist gloating over his £56 profit after fees.

0:38:190:38:23

It's the Diamond's final lot.

0:38:250:38:29

After a tough day, she needs her brass car-boot collection

0:38:290:38:32

of snuff box, tape measure and coin holder

0:38:320:38:34

to reap her a glittering profit. Her nemesis is typically begrudging.

0:38:340:38:39

It's a very interesting little lot. Meiji period, just.

0:38:390:38:43

-Isn't he kind?

-£20 bid in the lot now.

0:38:430:38:45

-That's not enough. Come on.

-£20 on the lot. £25, £30, £45.

0:38:450:38:49

Wow! Kate, that's incredible.

0:38:490:38:53

Selling, then, at £45.

0:38:530:38:56

-Well done, Kate.

-Dance with happiness.

-Oh, gosh!

-That's great.

0:38:560:39:02

-I only wish you the same success now!

-Of course you do!

0:39:020:39:07

Sniping aside, it's an ecstatic end for Kate.

0:39:070:39:10

After costs, she nets just over £26 profit.

0:39:100:39:14

Now it's Maverick Mark who's biting his nails over his penultimate lot.

0:39:140:39:19

He needs an advance on his £54.55 investment.

0:39:190:39:24

This is the panel I bought in Paris.

0:39:240:39:26

Maybe there's a Cambridge don out there who's studied Arthurian legend.

0:39:260:39:31

Somebody away with the fairies?

0:39:310:39:34

Oh, I do like people who are away with the fairies!

0:39:340:39:37

Bidding in at £140 on this one.

0:39:370:39:40

-No!

-It's a whopping starting bid.

0:39:400:39:43

Mark can't believe it.

0:39:430:39:45

160. 170.

0:39:450:39:47

-Stop bidding.

-180.

-Come on!

-I shall sell, then, at £180.

0:39:470:39:51

Wow!

0:39:510:39:52

-Well done, sir.

-There's gloating coming this way, isn't there?

0:39:520:39:57

I call that a jolly good profit, don't you?

0:39:570:40:00

At just over £92 after fees, it's a huge profit,

0:40:000:40:05

and the Brighton boy knows it.

0:40:050:40:07

We're into the final bout of this brutal combat,

0:40:070:40:11

and it's Mark who's bracing himself for one last blow.

0:40:110:40:14

I've got those little vases I bought from the job lot at the auction.

0:40:140:40:18

-That you didn't know you'd got! They were under the table!

-I only paid just under £15.

0:40:180:40:22

1492, the vases there.

0:40:220:40:25

45, 50. 55, 60.

0:40:250:40:28

70. 75. 80...

0:40:280:40:32

In a shock turn of events,

0:40:320:40:33

the bargain vases are taking the room by storm!

0:40:330:40:37

120.

0:40:370:40:38

I shall sell, then, at £120.

0:40:380:40:41

Well, I don't know, Kate.

0:40:430:40:45

I quit!

0:40:450:40:46

There is no justice in this world!

0:40:460:40:49

I really do like this auction room!

0:40:490:40:51

# What a feeling! #

0:40:510:40:53

You bet he does!

0:40:530:40:55

Those vases net him a staggering profit of just under £83 after fees.

0:40:550:40:59

It's a dramatic finale,

0:41:010:41:03

as the ultimate saleroom showdown comes to a close.

0:41:030:41:07

Both our brave contenders started their mission with £1,000

0:41:080:41:11

of their own money to spend at four different antiques events.

0:41:110:41:15

Kate spent just under £641, including restoration.

0:41:150:41:19

But Mark was more frugal, spending a little over £474, including costs.

0:41:190:41:25

All of the money that Mark and Kate have made from today's challenge goes to their chosen charity.

0:41:270:41:32

So, without further ado,

0:41:320:41:34

it's time to find out who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.

0:41:340:41:40

Kate, Kate, Kate!

0:41:400:41:41

-Oh, Mark, it's the big one!

-The showdown! What's your highlight?

0:41:410:41:45

My rugs did all right. You pooh-poohed my rugs, but they got me a profit.

0:41:450:41:48

You had some amazing results.

0:41:480:41:50

I had some very good results. I picked exactly what the auction wanted, I think.

0:41:500:41:54

And all my items at the auction did extremely well, even after commission.

0:41:540:41:58

-Are you ready?

-Go on.

-One, two, three.

0:41:580:42:01

-Oh!

-Oh, Kate.

-£400 off!

0:42:020:42:05

Oh, no!

0:42:050:42:06

I think that's quite a win.

0:42:060:42:08

Yes, a convincing victory for the Maverick today.

0:42:080:42:12

But our experts have been building up their profit pots over a week of challenges,

0:42:120:42:16

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

0:42:160:42:20

-Shall we?

-I can barely stand the suspense. Go on, then.

-Ready?

0:42:220:42:25

-Oh!

-Well, it wasn't too bad.

-That's not too bad.

0:42:280:42:32

I think I was very lucky with one or two items,

0:42:320:42:34

but I thoroughly enjoyed working with you.

0:42:340:42:37

I really, really have smiled a lot.

0:42:370:42:39

The least you can do is buy me a drink!

0:42:390:42:42

And it's a mighty overall victory for the Maverick.

0:42:420:42:45

Both our experts have delivered outstanding profits

0:42:450:42:48

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

0:42:480:42:52

I've got two children of my own and I wanted to choose a children's charity to help.

0:42:520:42:56

I've chosen Cerebra. They help children with neurological problems.

0:42:560:43:00

My chosen charity is Diema's Dream.

0:43:000:43:02

I was thrilled to help Russian orphanages create a safe,

0:43:020:43:05

healthy and stimulating environment for children.

0:43:050:43:08

It's been a week of gruelling battle.

0:43:080:43:10

Mark and Kate have both put their money where their mouths are

0:43:100:43:14

and proved they can make convincing profits when their own money is on the line.
