0:02:36 > 0:02:40'it's time to put your money where your mouth is.'
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Good morning, Mark. - Good morning, Miss Southon.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- How are you?- Fine, thank you. Welcome to Ford car boot!
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- It's a landing strip in the middle of nowhere!- Stop moaning!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54How do you look so beautiful this early in the morning?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56A compliment from Mark Stacey?
0:02:56 > 0:03:01- I'm almost tempted to say something back!- Well, you can, if you want!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Nice suit suit, Mark. Well done. MARK LAUGHS
0:03:04 > 0:03:09- Now listen, £250 to spend.- I know. It's exciting. You know what?- What?
0:03:09 > 0:03:14- I'm going to spend it all! - Oh, Catherine, my darling.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I hear that every single time from your luscious lips.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- I am going to really go for it! - I don't have a strategy.
0:03:21 > 0:03:27I'm going to get in there because somewhere, there's lurking a bargain that's got my name on it.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- Really?- Yeah.- Hopefully, it might have my name on it first.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I very much doubt it.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38'On the surface, it's all friendliness and flirtation,
0:03:38 > 0:03:44'but our two wing commanders of wonder will soon climb into the cockpit and take to the skies.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47'They'll be gunning for each other all the way.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53'How are these super-charged challengers planning to tackle today's car boot sale?'
0:03:55 > 0:04:00My plan is to spend £250 - hopefully, all of my £250.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04And looking at some of the prices, I might well do that.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07This, actually, is very hard work.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10'Catherine's right to be apprehensive,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13'because Mark is already champing at the bit.'
0:04:13 > 0:04:17You've really got to get in there early and get into the stalls.
0:04:17 > 0:04:23That's my plan today, to get in, grab things and hopefully find a bargain before Catherine does.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28'The heat is on and Catherine is starting to feel the high-altitude pressure.'
0:04:30 > 0:04:33People are just swarming on the stalls like ants.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38It's just impossible to get close to anything, to see anything.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41'Chin up, Southon!
0:04:41 > 0:04:46'Our Spitfires of savvy selecting have flown into enemy airspace
0:04:46 > 0:04:49'in search of hidden weapons of mass profit.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52'Mark is the first to get a target in his sights
0:04:52 > 0:04:55'when he spots a small brass rhino - and he's going in!'
0:04:55 > 0:05:00Is this terribly cheap, madam? It's not very old, I don't think.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- We've got £8 on that. - Can we say a fiver?- How about six?
0:05:03 > 0:05:08- That's got to be 5.50, Mark. - Oh, come on. £5. Thank you.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Let me dig deep. It's awful. These moths are trying to get out!
0:05:14 > 0:05:18I've got one! There's another one! Thank you very much.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Lovely doing business with you. - It's a pleasure!
0:05:21 > 0:05:24How dare you check whether it's genuine!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Well, what a piece of nonsense. I mean, look at this!
0:05:27 > 0:05:31It's not that old, but I think he's rather fun, isn't he?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34If I can find anybody who's interested in a rhino.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Do you want one?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41'Mark's rhino makes it one-nil and sends him stampeding into the lead,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44'but he's struggling to find his next purchase.'
0:05:46 > 0:05:49It's a little disappointing. This fair is normally better.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53The thing is that it is picked over very quickly.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57There's hundreds of people waiting before you get in.
0:05:57 > 0:06:03All I'm seeing is very modern or things that, quite frankly, they're asking too much money for.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07'Mark's losing heart, and cunning Catherine catches him up
0:06:07 > 0:06:10'when she acquires an antique child's desk.'
0:06:12 > 0:06:16I've just bought this beautiful child's desk for £65.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20And I LOVE it! It's quite simple.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Look at these lovely little
0:06:23 > 0:06:26ceramic inkwells - aren't they gorgeous?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28There's two of those.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Then you open it up... and there's two sections inside,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35for the child's books and writing materials.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41We've got this little bit either side, little book shelves.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Also, complete with child's chair,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47which folds.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Like so!
0:06:50 > 0:06:55Apparently, this was found in the lady's grandfather's attic in the 1920s.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59So we're thinking late Victorian, early Edwardian in date.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04I think, for £65, this is a beautiful object.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07'Catherine's desk makes it one-all.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11'Already, Mark is looking into his next potential purchase.'
0:07:12 > 0:07:14£12 cheap!
0:07:14 > 0:07:17LAUGHTER Gosh! I nearly dropped them.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22I'm sure I heard a voi... Hang on. I'm sure I heard a voice saying £12.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25I thought they were supposed to be cheap!
0:07:26 > 0:07:30I love the little leather pouch. Needs a polish and a buff-up.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I'm going to see if we can get them a bit cheaper, if we can.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- Yes, you can.- You can do a deal with me, can't you?- Yeah. £10.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Actually, I think that's not a bad price, you know. There we are, sir.
0:07:41 > 0:07:47'A tenner? You'd expect opera binoculars to cost at least "three tenors"!'
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I like seeing names of firms. We have a French firm.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Based in Nantes. I think it's a really charming little item.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59Take them out. Very nice quality. A nice little beaded edge.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03These would have been gilded, I suppose, inside.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06But everything still works on it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11It's also signed by the optician's in the inner rim there.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Imagine a nice Edwardian lady or a late Victorian lady.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19She's gone for a night at the opera.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22If she wants a close-up of that dramatic scene in Carmen,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25she lifts them up and starts looking at the stage.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30'Mark is so excited by his binoculars, he needs to "calm-en" down a bit.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35'Catherine has found a peculiar object that looks strangely familiar.'
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Looks a bit like Mark Stacey. - MAN: It does.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- How much do you want for it?- As it's so unusual, I want 100 quid for it.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- How much?!- 100.- £60.- 70.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Please, because I've got to buy lots of other items.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- 65, then.- Done.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56'Catherine sealed the deal with a kiss and makes it two-all,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58'but what's her verdict on her purchase?'
0:08:58 > 0:09:02£65. Am I mad?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Probably, but isn't that brilliant?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07How unusual is that?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Late 19th-century doorstop, cast iron,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14in the form of a judge!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I'm going to sell that to a solicitor or a judge
0:09:17 > 0:09:21and make a very tidy profit!
0:09:21 > 0:09:24'Ooh, cunning Catherine is confident, having evened the scores.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28'Mark is delving deep and has found a stall
0:09:28 > 0:09:31'with a plentiful supply of intriguing items.'
0:09:32 > 0:09:37It is worth looking through here. I haven't found any major treasure.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I've found some little interesting bits,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42which is what I like to find at a car boot sale.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46'Rummaging away like he's plundering an antiques pick 'n' mix,
0:09:46 > 0:09:50'Mark has found so much that it isn't long before he's lining up
0:09:50 > 0:09:52'a lengthy roll of items to buy.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56'The gentleman who has everything, how about these?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58'1960s silver cufflinks.
0:09:58 > 0:10:04'Going on your travels? Don't forget this silver 1970s St Christopher.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07'Mark pays a bargain £5 for the lot.'
0:10:07 > 0:10:11I'm not getting out my hairy chest to show you where it went!
0:10:11 > 0:10:14'Ladies, if hubby's taking you for a ride in his new convertible,
0:10:14 > 0:10:18'you'll need these hair clips to keep your hair in place.'
0:10:20 > 0:10:23If I'm right, this could well be an antique one.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27'Yes, transport yourself back to a golden age of children's literature
0:10:27 > 0:10:31'with a pair of modern Mrs Tiggywinkle figurines.'
0:10:34 > 0:10:36One by Royal Doulton, one by Beswick.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I have no idea how much they're worth.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40'Mark will impress his friends
0:10:40 > 0:10:45'with this gorgeous green 1950s gurgle jug!'
0:10:45 > 0:10:48When you pour it out it makes a gurgling sound.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Don't you think it's a bit of kitsch? I love it!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54For a fiver! Are you getting the general theme?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57'What better way for Mark to present his haul
0:10:57 > 0:11:02'than on this fantastically fishy patterned plate, also for £5!'
0:11:02 > 0:11:05A nice Scottish dish to serve your fish on,
0:11:05 > 0:11:09all in these rather nice 1950s colours.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11CHUCKLING: Thank you very much!
0:11:11 > 0:11:14He did throw in this boat spirit level.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16I have no idea what it is.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20It'll probably be a memento on my bookcase for the rest of its life.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25'Mark's job lot of seven items brings us to the halfway point.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28'It's time for our two fighter jets to refuel.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31'First, let's see who's flying high in the sky
0:11:31 > 0:11:33'and who's heading into a nosedive.
0:11:35 > 0:11:41'Catherine and Mark each started the day with £250 of their own money.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45'Catherine is rocketing up the costs, with two deals costing...
0:11:50 > 0:11:52'Mark has been flying under the radar
0:11:52 > 0:11:55'and has bought nine items for just...
0:12:04 > 0:12:08'Before our pair of purchasing pilots take to the skies again,
0:12:08 > 0:12:12'there's time to meet up on the runway for a midway debrief.'
0:12:12 > 0:12:15So, you're looking very pleased for yourself, Stacey!
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- Actually, I was a bit worried... - You're almost dancing!
0:12:19 > 0:12:24I was a bit worried to begin with but I've just pulled off a good deal, I think.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Have you?- Mm.- I don't like it when you say that!- Don't you?- No.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Are you spending lots of money? - Absolutely not.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Aren't you?- No.- But you're buying good things?- I think so.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38- So I'm going to be really pleased... - I'm buying quality, Mark.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- There's a first time for everything. - Ah! You are so unfair!
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- Anyway, carry on.- Good luck. Keep spending.- YOU might need it!
0:12:46 > 0:12:51'It's now time for our purchasing pilots to scramble once more.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54'They switch on ignition and get ready to take off,
0:12:54 > 0:12:58'as round two of this airborne buying battle begins.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03'With so much of her budget blown, Catherine is feeling the pressure.'
0:13:06 > 0:13:10As I'm spending lots of money, I've now got to find a couple of things
0:13:10 > 0:13:15for £5 or £10, before I run out of all my cash.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18'Mm, Catherine is seriously struggling.'
0:13:18 > 0:13:21I actually might need some more cash.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Might have to have a whip-round!
0:13:23 > 0:13:27'Catherine, you know perfectly well it doesn't work like that.'
0:13:27 > 0:13:29That's quite nice.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Fantastic.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- And it's all there?- Mm.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- What do you want for that? - Very best is £15. No haggling.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- Go on, then.- OK? - Five, ten, 15. There you go.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46'Catherine hands over the cash, but just what is it she's bought?'
0:13:46 > 0:13:48It's a sailor's deck game.
0:13:48 > 0:13:54Basically, a flat piece of wooden board with these five skittles.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59Date-wise, 1940s, maybe 1950s.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02It's a smart little thing. It's quite simple.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05This will definitely get us a nice profit.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Ready, steady...
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Ooh!
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Oh, you're rubbish! ..So am I!
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- BOTH LAUGH - Here we go...
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Yes!
0:14:20 > 0:14:24'Catherine's overjoyed, but there's something funny about these two today.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27'One minute, they're fierce competitors.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30'The next, they're best of friends.'
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- Hello!- Oh, gosh! How are you?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36'And they certainly make an odd couple.'
0:14:36 > 0:14:39MUSIC: Theme to "The Odd Couple"
0:14:39 > 0:14:43She's got a nice pair of legs! Wish I could say the same for Mark!
0:14:43 > 0:14:46There's nothing wrong with these legs, Catherine.
0:14:46 > 0:14:52'Underneath all this friendliness is plenty of old-school determination to win.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56'Mark looks set to add to his haul with a portrait miniature.'
0:14:58 > 0:15:01It's a very pretty little miniature on ivory
0:15:01 > 0:15:04in a gilt metal frame, very typical...
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I would say, looking at the style,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10it's probably the early part of the 20th century.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13It does come in its original case.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17You often find these are a little worn, but it is the original one.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22How you would display it is you'd let the back fall like that.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Then you'd open it up like that.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27How much are you looking for?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- 40's the best.- 40?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32I think we'll have a go at that.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Thanks very much.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37'So, Mark buys the picture, but how will he get on when he sells it?'
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Through the 17th and 18th century, these were painted on ivory.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Some of the best ones can make tens of thousands of pounds.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48This one is not signed, as far as I can see.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51It's quite competently done, but it's not a best one.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54It IS only £40.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58There are specific rules if you're buying and selling ivory.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03It has to have been created or carved or painted before 1947.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06I think this one is. I think this is 1930s.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10So it's perfectly legal to sell, and she is rather charming.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15'Mark may be charmed by his miniature, but there's an air of worry around Catherine.'
0:16:15 > 0:16:20That old Stacey had a bit of a swing in his step this morning.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24I'm getting a little bit concerned. I don't think he's spend much money.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30I think he's just spent a few pounds here and there, whereas I have spent serious money.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35He knows this fair quite well, which is another worrying factor.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37'Catherine's right to be worried.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41'Mark's buying bonanza has landed him with ten items to her three.
0:16:41 > 0:16:47'Catherine badly needs to catch up and she soon spots a little something to pin her hopes on.'
0:16:48 > 0:16:51That's quite cute, isn't it?
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- How much would you want for it? Head's a bit wonky.- I was asking 24.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57CATHERINE GASPS
0:16:57 > 0:16:59BOTH: Ooooh!
0:16:59 > 0:17:04- What could you do on it? What's the best on it?- The best I can do is 20.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Could you do 15?- I could. Yes.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Could you do 12?- No. - Then we're definitely sorted.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- 13, then.- 13, we're done. Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:16 > 0:17:23I could not resist this 1920s sterling silver cravat pin.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28Once upon a time, this would have been in a gentleman's cravat
0:17:28 > 0:17:31or scarf when he went off hunting.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36I'm going to get foxy on this one and make myself a good profit.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Watch me!
0:17:38 > 0:17:40'Hm! Very cunning, Catherine.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44'That helps pin up Catherine's tally but she's still behind,
0:17:44 > 0:17:48'so she's pleased when she finds a miniature bronze wild boar.'
0:17:48 > 0:17:52It's got a little slot in the top, so it's a menu holder.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57- It's definitely bronze, isn't it? - Yeah.- It's not superb quality.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00But I think he's quite charming.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Can you do 20?- Oh, don't be silly!
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- How can I do 20?- What can you do? Oh, don't shut it!
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- Well, silly offers like that, I'm not interested.- What can you do?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I'll do you 50, if you want it.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16'Looks like cunning Catherine has met her haggling match.'
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Go on.- No. - I'll take it from you now. £35.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- No, no, no.- So what's your very best on this?- 45.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- £40. £40 and I shall... - I'll spin you heads or tails.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- I hate doing that. I always lose. - You may win this time.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33'So, will Catherine be lady luck?'
0:18:33 > 0:18:36I hate doing this. Tails!
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- £40.- You won.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Yes! Do you know what? That never happens to me.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Thank you very much, sir.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48'Luck be a lady called Catherine. She wins the toss and gets the pig for £40.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51'But will it help her bring home the bacon?'
0:18:51 > 0:18:56The gentleman I spoke to said he reckoned it was late 19th century in date.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I think it might be a little bit later than that.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Nevertheless, he is bronze and he's got a lovely patina to him,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05and a really nice little feel.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09I'm going to take this little piggy off to market. Follow me.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13'Yes, it's almost time for our pair of jumbo bargain hunters
0:19:13 > 0:19:15'to turn tail and head for home.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18'Let's see who's gained enough altitude
0:19:18 > 0:19:20'and who's plummeted into a tailspin.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26'Captain Catherine and Air Marshal Mark each started the day with...
0:19:30 > 0:19:34'Catherine bought five items, spending a spectacular...
0:19:36 > 0:19:40'Mark bought in bulk, picking up ten items but only spent...
0:19:42 > 0:19:46'However, now it's all about who will make the most profit.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51'Our captains have looped the loop and flown in and out of the danger zone,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54'so now it's time to settle and compare their wares.'
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Catherine, what is going on here?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- I've got a cornucopia...- You have. - ..of goodies.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03And you've got...that lot.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- LAUGHING:- Don't say it like that!
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Looking at it, I haven't bought as much as you,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12but I think I've bought some nice items.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- Have you met your challenge? - I did, Mark. I spent £198.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- On that?- What do you mean "on that"? Don't be so unkind.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- I bought some lovely items.- I must say, I adore your bronze boar.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- I was just looking at your, is it a rhino?- It's a rhino.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- It's quite funny that you've bought something fairly similar.- I know.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- It's a tale of two...animals.- Yes.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- I love your judge's head doorstop. - He's lovely, isn't he?
0:20:38 > 0:20:42If you can find a judge with lots of money, which they normally have.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Be quite nice.- It's this group lot that I was really pleased with.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49There's some really nice bits, that one, particularly.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52That is beautiful. It looks Edwardian.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Maybe late Victorian. - With little piquet work.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Which might be gold, actually. - Oh, that would be nice!
0:20:58 > 0:21:03We should congratulate ourselves because it's been a wonderful day.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07It's been fabulous, but the big challenge, as usual, Catherine,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- is to sell all this stuff.- I know.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Good luck.- Good luck to you, too.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I think we need it.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21'Our sound barrier breaking buyers must now go full throttle
0:21:21 > 0:21:23'as they become supersonic sellers
0:21:23 > 0:21:26'in the ultimate dog fight of daring dealing
0:21:26 > 0:21:28'that can result in only one winner.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34'Catherine and Mark fly back to base to work on their selling strategies.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36'Back in her Kentish kitchen,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39'Catherine is assessing her acquisitions.'
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I had an amazing time at the boot fair
0:21:42 > 0:21:45and I think I bought rather well.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Firstly, my little boar.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52He's a lovely little menu holder, or you could use him as a paperweight.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56The fox pin is a bit of fun. It's sterling silver.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I should sell that to somebody who collects hunting memorabilia.
0:21:59 > 0:22:04This is a doorstop, a cast iron doorstop in the form of a judge.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I just love the little character. I love his chubby cheeks.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10I quite like this game of deck quoits.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15£15 I paid. It's a bit of fun. Mark didn't like it, but then...
0:22:15 > 0:22:17he doesn't really like fun.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21The piece de resistance is definitely my desk.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24That is absolutely wonderful
0:22:24 > 0:22:26and that will make me lots of money.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30It'll probably double its money, or maybe triple its money.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32So watch this.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34'Catherine is brimming with confidence.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39'Back at his Brighton base, how is Mark feeling about his chances?'
0:22:39 > 0:22:42I've got one or two gems, I hope, particularly the miniature,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45which I think is charming.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49If I find the right buyer, that should return me a good profit.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53The opera glasses, I'm going to go down the theatrical route.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55You wouldn't expect anything less of me!
0:22:55 > 0:22:59The rhino? That should charge me a bit of a profit.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04The gurgling jug and the Beatrix Potter figures, nobody in mind yet.
0:23:04 > 0:23:10The little dish here, I'm thinking a little walk down the seaside,
0:23:10 > 0:23:15see if we can find someone who sells traditional seaside fare.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18The hair grips, only one of them is quite nice.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20This one here.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23The others are an added-on bonus.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27The cufflinks, I'm very pleased with. They are solid silver.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31I haven't looked at the mark yet, but they look to be in the 1950s.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Catherine, I hope you're sitting comfortably,
0:23:34 > 0:23:36because the fight has begun.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40'Indeed it has, Mark - and what a fight ahead,
0:23:40 > 0:23:44'as the Maverick has a tremendous nine items to sell,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47'having confined the freebie spirit level to his shelf.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52'Catherine has only five, but who will land the greater profit?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56'Our daring dealers now start doing what they do best -
0:23:56 > 0:23:58'finding buyers for all their items.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01'They know that until they get that final handshake
0:24:01 > 0:24:06'and the money is in their hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09'Mark is first to fire up his selling engine
0:24:09 > 0:24:14'when he tracks down an interested buyer for his miniature rhinoceros.'
0:24:14 > 0:24:17My friend Steve loves anything miniature like this,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21and I'm hoping to CHARGE him... Haha! ..quite a lot of money.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26'Hm, very amusing(!) That tiny rhino cost Mark £5,
0:24:26 > 0:24:30'so will collector Steve help him achieve that important first sale?'
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- I know you like miniature things. - Oh, yeah.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38I think it's bronze, but it's been polished up. It's quite heavy.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I like the way they've done all the armour on it.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46Actually, they've modelled that after a print by Albrecht Durer.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49They modelled them because the original rhino,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53they thought they had a suit of armour on, and it looks like that.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55This isn't an awful lot of money.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58It's going to reflect in a miniature price?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02I was hoping...for around £25.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- What about £20? - I've got to make a profit.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- I'm practically giving it to you at cost.- Yeah, right(!)
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- LAUGHS - No, I think £20.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16I'm not making very much on it, as you know.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19All right, then. 20 quid. Thank you, Steve.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23'What a start! Mark charges out with £15 profit,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26'triple what he paid for the rhino.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29'Catherine won't let him get away with a lead for long.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34'She takes the early 20th century cravat pin that cost her £13
0:25:34 > 0:25:36'to antiques dealer John.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39'She's pinning her hopes on his being dazzled by it
0:25:39 > 0:25:42'and giving her a smart profit.'
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- Are you ready for this?- I am. - # Ta-da! #
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- A little cravat or...- I'd call it a cravat pin. What would you call it?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53It could also be used as a stock pin.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- Equestrian customers of mine... - Right.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00..would have a stock or a cravat which, obviously,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- when you're riding a horse, flaps up in the wind.- Right. OK.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07So it's held in place with a little pin.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10This is a charming little sterling silver example
0:26:10 > 0:26:13from about, I would imagine, 1920, 1930?
0:26:13 > 0:26:18It's stamped. Silver's the sort of entry level for one of these things.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20So it's not of huge value,
0:26:20 > 0:26:24but it is quite a charming example and it's in good condition.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Novelty, isn't it?- Yes. - That's why I bought it.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29It's actually quite well done.
0:26:29 > 0:26:35If you look closely at it, it's got quite clearly defined features.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37The eyes are clear. The ears are clear.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- How's £50?- I tell you what, I'll give you £40.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Can we just maybe say a little bit more?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46I was thinking you probably might say that.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49So why not say 45 for a deal?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- 45.- 48, deal.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- OK. 48. - Ooh! You're lovely!
0:26:54 > 0:26:57'Catherine makes a profit of £35
0:26:57 > 0:27:00'and things are hotting up in this selling extravaganza.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05'Mark is hoping to swim back into the lead with a 1950s gurgle jug
0:27:05 > 0:27:07'and hors d'oeuvres dish.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11'They cost £5 each and he takes them to fish restaurant owner Roy.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15'First, he produces the dish as a starter to whet Roy's appetite.'
0:27:17 > 0:27:19It's actually Scottish, believe it or not.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22It's made by the Buchan factory.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26If you look, actually, it's like a starfish in the centre
0:27:26 > 0:27:29with those little bobbles, but it's all hand-decorated.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- What sort of age?- I think it's '50s.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- It's got that... - It's got that look to it.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37How much would you be looking for?
0:27:37 > 0:27:41I'm willing to negotiate, because you don't know this, Roy.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45At the same venue I bought something else, which I brought along.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48If you keep looking at me for a moment.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50I know them as a gurgling jug.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55I think it's made in Dartmouth in the West Country.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- I thought it was rather fun.- It is.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01I was hoping we could do a deal on both of them.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03That would look nice on the bar with flowers in.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- 50 for the two?- 40? - 45?- Done.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10'And with the deal done, it's pun time.'
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- It's actually in good condition. - It is. No, no chips here.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17You can have them with your meal, but not with your china.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- There's a "plaice" for everything! - Sauce, anyone?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24'That's quite enough of those!
0:28:24 > 0:28:26'Mark nets a tasty profit of...
0:28:28 > 0:28:31'He's on a roll, taking the portrait miniature
0:28:31 > 0:28:37'to antiques shop owner Maggie, hoping for a massive mark-up on the £40 he paid for it.'
0:28:37 > 0:28:41What we're talking about is this rather charming Art Deco miniature.
0:28:41 > 0:28:46- Art Deco?- I think it's Art Deco. I think it's 1910, 1920.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49It's not signed. I haven't taken it out, mind you.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52This is the original backing.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55The quality of the painting is very good, the eyes and the detail.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59I've got to be honest, it wouldn't be a thing I would normally buy.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03But it is pretty and she stands, is that right?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- Yes.- I do like it, but now we have to talk money.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10- Let's start.- I thought I would be giving it to you at 200.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14- 200?! You've got to be joking! - 'Hm. She's not happy with that!'
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- What about 150?- I can't do 150. - What are you going to do, then?
0:29:17 > 0:29:22- I'll come up a little bit. 90. - Oh. "A little bit"?
0:29:22 > 0:29:26It's like extracting teeth here! 140, Maggie.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30It's too much, Mark. Please try! No, look! Come on!
0:29:30 > 0:29:33This is my final price. You'll know it's a good price.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- 130.- Oh!- No, come on!
0:29:36 > 0:29:39£130 for a lovely object like that!
0:29:39 > 0:29:44- 110.- No. Maggie, you're tearing the blood out of me here!
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- Let's meet in the middle and call it quits.- All right, 128.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49BOTH LAUGH
0:29:49 > 0:29:51No! 120!
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Stop it! 120.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58I've got such a headache I'm going to say yes to 120 so I can go and lie down.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- Well done.- Two! I'll have it for 110, then...
0:30:01 > 0:30:03120!
0:30:03 > 0:30:08'The deal sealed with two kisses, Mark walks off with a whopping...
0:30:13 > 0:30:17'Ooh, cheeky Mark! He's a little bit pleased with himself.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21'Catherine needs to keep moving if she's to avoid being left behind.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24'After some rigorous research,
0:30:24 > 0:30:27'she locates the perfect buyer for the £40 bronze boar.
0:30:27 > 0:30:33'His name is Gordon. He lives in East Sussex and he's the owner of the Boar's Head Inn.'
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Gordon, it's wonderful to be here. It's a beautiful building.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- It looks like it's got a lot of history behind it.- It certainly has.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43We've dated it back to 1675 as a pub.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Well, I've brought something along to show you
0:30:46 > 0:30:49that also has quite a bit of history behind it.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54I've brought you this very cute bronze boar.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- That is lovely. - I fell in love with him.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01I thought he was beautifully cast. If you look at the detail there,
0:31:01 > 0:31:07the fur, the way this has been cast, there's so much going on.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11- Do you collect little trinkets in the form of boars?- I do.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Much to my wife's chagrin! CHUCKLES
0:31:14 > 0:31:18Difficult to date, but probably late 19th century,
0:31:18 > 0:31:20bordering on early 20th century.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24There's a nice bit of patination and a nice bit of wear.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- How does £80 sound? - GASPS
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Let's start at, say, 60?
0:31:30 > 0:31:34- How does 70 sound? - I think I should have started lower.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- 65?- 65.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38You've got yourself a deal.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43'Catherine snaffles a £25 profit for the boar.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47'As we approach the halfway point of this superb selling shebang,
0:31:47 > 0:31:50'Mark finds a possible buyer for his £3 cufflinks
0:31:50 > 0:31:54'in the form Brighton-based events consultant, Trevor.'
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- These are a bit of quality.- Right. - Have a little look.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- They're engine-turned - that's the decoration.- Right.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05They are solid silver and they're hallmarked.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10- Tell me about the hallmark. Don't think I've bought anything with a hallmark.- It's quite simple.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15A hallmark is normally three parts. If I take that cufflink.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17There's three little impressed marks.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21One is a lion, which represents sterling.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Yeah. I actually knew that one!
0:32:23 > 0:32:25The other mark is an anchor,
0:32:25 > 0:32:28which represents, amazingly, Birmingham.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Then you have a little date letter,
0:32:30 > 0:32:34which is a small "r", but they're in funny shields.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36The "r" is for 1966.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- They are World Cup year cufflinks! - Right, OK.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- Now you see them, do you like them? - I do like them.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46They go with this shirt. I always wear double-cuff shirts.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50How much do you like them? 45 or 35? Or somewhere in between!
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- I think the 35 mark! - MARK LAUGHS
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- I'd be quite happy if you were happy to pay 35.- Yeah.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Let's do 35, then.- We'll do 35.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02'Mark makes £32 on the cufflinks,
0:33:02 > 0:33:05'having sold them for over ten times what he paid.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08'After a remarkable run of selling,
0:33:08 > 0:33:10'time to find out who's flying ahead
0:33:10 > 0:33:14'in this race to rack up the most money.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16'Catherine has so far sold two items...
0:33:19 > 0:33:24'Mark has sold five items and made a profit of...
0:33:25 > 0:33:29'So Catherine is trailing behind and needs to redouble her efforts
0:33:29 > 0:33:33'and triple her profit margins if she's to catch up with Mark.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37'But Maverick Mr Stacey is looking to strike another profit blow
0:33:37 > 0:33:42'as he brings the late 20th century Beatrix Potter figurines
0:33:42 > 0:33:45'that cost him £20 to a Brighton launderette.'
0:33:45 > 0:33:48I've brought my two Mrs Tiggywinkles
0:33:48 > 0:33:52to meet another two Tiggywinkles - Wendy and Sylvia.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56And let's hope they don't put me out to dry on the profit front.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- Don't you think they're lovely? - They're very sweet.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01They're marked underneath, by Beswick.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05Do you see the humour that I thought in owning a launderette
0:34:05 > 0:34:09and having two little mascots that were doing the ironing and washing?
0:34:09 > 0:34:13There is an uncanny resemblance! SHE LAUGHS
0:34:13 > 0:34:17I would like to get between £30 and £40 - for the pair.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20- I tell you what.- Go on.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- If you iron a shirt...- Yeah?
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- Maybe we'll have a little chat and we'll...- Negotiate.- Yeah.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29If I do the ironing, then, you'll go off, have a little think
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- and come back with a price? - Yeah. Definitely.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Why do I do this?
0:34:36 > 0:34:38'For the profit, Mark. For the profit!
0:34:38 > 0:34:42'He steps up to the creases, hoping to iron out a good deal.'
0:34:42 > 0:34:44I could get used to this!
0:34:44 > 0:34:48'Do you know what? He's not half bad.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52'Some very professional ironing from Maverick Mark.'
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Catherine, I hope you're going through the same struggle as I am!
0:34:55 > 0:34:57I am available for private hire.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59What do you think of that?
0:35:00 > 0:35:04- Very nice.- It's not bad, is it? - But it took you too long to do it.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08We get a minute a shirt, so we'll have to negotiate the price.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- We'll have to knock it down a bit. - No, you can't. Come on, look!
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Because you took too long!
0:35:14 > 0:35:18- How much?- 25? - You're going to have to go up.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22I just spent the best part of half an hour...
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- LAUGHS - Yeah.- ..on this shirt.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Come on. Be nice. I think I could come down to 38.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- 35.- £35?
0:35:31 > 0:35:36Let's shake on 35. Thank you very much. You've been such good sports.
0:35:36 > 0:35:41Well, I've ironed all the creases out of that sale and made a healthy profit.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45And met two lovely Brighton characters to boot - everyone's happy.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49'Mark's right to be happy, having made...
0:35:51 > 0:35:55'He continues to shine when he sells the hair clips to dealer Peter,
0:35:55 > 0:35:58'making another £5 of pure profit.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03'But Catherine isn't going down without a fight.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07'She's got her turn-of-the-century child's desk ready
0:36:07 > 0:36:11'and a cunning plan designed to maximise the profit margin.'
0:36:12 > 0:36:18I adore my child's desk with the lovely little ceramic inkwells.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20I've brought it along to show Kate.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24She lives locally in West Wycombe and she restores old furniture
0:36:24 > 0:36:27and gives them a new lease of life.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31I'm hoping and praying that she is as passionate as I am about it.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Keep your fingers crossed!
0:36:33 > 0:36:36'Catherine bought the desk for £65,
0:36:36 > 0:36:39'so will shabby chic furniture dealer Kate
0:36:39 > 0:36:43'help her restore her chances in this competition?'
0:36:43 > 0:36:48I've brought you this piece of furniture. I simply fell in love with it when I saw it.
0:36:48 > 0:36:56I had visions that you would be able to paint it and transform it and give it a new lease of life.
0:36:56 > 0:37:01- Have a look at this.- Right. - What do you think?
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- It's very cute. - Isn't it just so cute?
0:37:04 > 0:37:08It's different to the ones I've seen because they've been more...
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- definite school desks. - Yeah, that's why I liked it.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15And the chair is... I've not seen one like that.
0:37:15 > 0:37:21- And what sort of price? - I'm sort of looking about... £100?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- I did pay quite a lot for it.- Mm.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28What are you thinking, Kate? I'll sort of go along with you.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- 70?- 70.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Could we say 75 and then that would be lovely?- I think we could.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- Could we?- Yes. - Could we push it for more, then?- No!
0:37:38 > 0:37:4175. That's wonderful. Thank you very much indeed.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44'Catherine sells the desk for a modest £10 mark-up
0:37:44 > 0:37:46'and is taught a valuable lesson.'
0:37:46 > 0:37:50Well, that was a lot less than I had hoped for,
0:37:50 > 0:37:54but perhaps I was just a little too ambitious.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Oh, well. You live and learn.
0:37:56 > 0:38:01'Next, she pinpoints the perfect selling location for the hoop game,
0:38:01 > 0:38:04'fishing village Mevagissey in Cornwall.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07'She bought the game for £15, so will this tactic pay off,
0:38:07 > 0:38:10'and will she be able to reel in a good profit?'
0:38:12 > 0:38:15There's a group of fishermen over there. I'll see what I can do.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18You possibly interested in purchasing it
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- for a very reasonable price?- No.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24'Oh, well! There are plenty more fish in the sea.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28'Undeterred, Catherine soon closes in on a promising potential buyer.'
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Are you interested in this? - Tell me what it is.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35I'll tell you exactly what it is, a game of quoits to play...
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- You could put this on your yacht. Have you got a yacht?- No!
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- LAUGHS Model one, yes.- Oh, well!
0:38:42 > 0:38:44It's a bit of nauticalia, a bit of fun.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Or you can have a game in the garden with your family. What do you think?
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- Interested?- How much?
0:38:51 > 0:38:54I'd like to say about £500, but sadly I can't.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Got to be somewhere around £30, £40?
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- £30, then.- £30 and I'll be very happy.- So will I.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03There we go. £30. The deal is done.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06You're a lovely man. Thank you very much indeed.
0:39:06 > 0:39:12'The sale of the hoop game nets Catherine another £15.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16'She's going at it full throttle, as she sells her final item,
0:39:16 > 0:39:18'the Victorian judge doorstop,
0:39:18 > 0:39:22'to antiques shop owner Jackie for £80.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25'Catherine pockets £15 profit for the doorstop
0:39:25 > 0:39:28'and with that, is all sold up.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30'But Mark still has two to go.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33'First, he sells the St Christopher pendant to singer Chrissie,
0:39:33 > 0:39:37'earning himself a tidy £10 profit.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41'Which means he's down to his final item, the opera glasses,
0:39:41 > 0:39:43'which cost him £10.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47'He takes them to Sussex to meet opera singer Thomasin Trezise,
0:39:47 > 0:39:51'and he's got an eye on hitting a falsetto profit.'
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- Hello. Welcome to the picnic. - I love it! This is so nice.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58I've never done a sale like this before. You've been rehearsing?
0:39:58 > 0:40:02I've been rehearsing all morning, the Marriage of Figaro.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Funny you should mention opera!
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- I purchased this cased set of opera glasses.- Ooh!
0:40:08 > 0:40:13- Ah!- They're late 19th century.- Yes. - There's the actual glasses.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18They've also got the retailer's or maker's name in Nantes in France.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20- They're signed on the dial.- Oh!
0:40:20 > 0:40:24They've got a sort of leather cover. I thought they were rather sweet.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28- They're very sweet. What material do we have here?- We have brass.
0:40:28 > 0:40:33- It's been lacquered. Somebody's enjoyed them because some of the lacquer's worn off.- Yes!
0:40:33 > 0:40:37- Which is nice.- It is nice. - You wonder how many performances these have been to.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Which bit they would have got them out in.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- I certainly like them.- Do you?- I do.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45- And I did bring some champagne, just in case.- Just in case!
0:40:45 > 0:40:50I see you haven't opened it! It's not open. The deal isn't done.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54'Thomasin seems interested, but will she want to buy the opera glasses,
0:40:54 > 0:40:58'and will she pay enough to help elevate Mark to victory?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00'All will soon be revealed.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05'Catherine and Mark each started the day with...
0:41:07 > 0:41:11'At the car boot, Catherine bought five items...
0:41:13 > 0:41:17'Mark picked up an astounding ten items...
0:41:19 > 0:41:21'All that matters now is profit.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25'All the money from today's challenge will go to our dealers' chosen charity,
0:41:25 > 0:41:30'so let's find out who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion!'
0:41:30 > 0:41:34- Darling, how are you? - Hi. I'm OK, thanks. And yourself?
0:41:35 > 0:41:38- I'm on top of the world, Catherine. - Makes a change.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42- You did well on this one, did you? - I have a feeling I've done well.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46- I think it's rather nice, actually. That miniature on ivory?- Yeah?
0:41:46 > 0:41:49I did very well on that and on the little cufflinks.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- The list goes on and on. - You do look happy! Makes a change!
0:41:53 > 0:41:58- What about yours? - I don't know if you remember, but I thought I bought some good items.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02- Do you remember the judge? No, I did!- Oh, I liked the judge.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04- You didn't like my desk. - I did love that little fox.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06- My little foxy was good.- Very foxy.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10- You're going to win this one, aren't you?- Oh, I don't know!
0:42:10 > 0:42:14- Shall I count us in?- Go on, then. You love the sound of your voice!
0:42:14 > 0:42:16One, two, three...
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Oh, Catherine! Oh, dear.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Sympathy, I can feel, is just flooding in.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- Shall I buy you a drink? - Make mine a large one.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29'Mark leads Catherine away, having fairly fought
0:42:29 > 0:42:33'and fabulously flourished in this full-on fight.
0:42:33 > 0:42:38'He sold his final item, the opera glasses, for a tuneful £10 profit.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41'It's time to pop the cork and celebrate.'
0:42:41 > 0:42:43- SINGS NOTE - Cheers.
0:42:43 > 0:42:49I should have told Catherine that it's not he who spends the most at a car boot sale,
0:42:49 > 0:42:52but it's he who makes the most profit.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55I've made good steady profits on everything,
0:42:55 > 0:42:57but Mark did better than me.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59His profits were bigger.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03So, well done, Mark. Hats off to you.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07'But will Catherine retaliate tomorrow when Stacey and Southon
0:43:07 > 0:43:11'go up against each other in the ultimate battle to end all battles,
