0:02:47 > 0:02:49- What have we got to do? - Let's have a look.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52"Welcome to the mighty Showdown. The rules are simple..."
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- They'll need to be! LAUGHING:- They will.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57"You must each buy two items
0:02:57 > 0:03:00"at every one of your regular Put Your Money challenges."
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- And we've got £1,000 to spend. - That's good, isn't it? Right.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- "You can sell up to four items wherever you want."- Four. OK.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10"The rest will be sold at auction in Dorset,
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- "in direct competition with your opponent."- Oooh!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- "The winner is the person who makes the most profit."- Sounds good.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- We need a bit of luck here!- We do. - Come on.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24'Both our dazzling dealers are using their own money
0:03:24 > 0:03:27'and all the profit goes to their chosen charities.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31'They'll be racing around their usual hunting grounds -
0:03:31 > 0:03:33'an auction,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35'a car boot sale,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37'an antiques fair
0:03:37 > 0:03:40'and a foreign antiques market.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43'It's going to be a terrific tussle,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46'but who will end up with the biggest profit?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48'Both our aces are auctioneers,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51'so should be in comfortable territory for...
0:03:51 > 0:03:56'They're at the Moore, Allen & Innocent saleroom near Cirencester,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59'where they must each find their first Showdown items.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01'They have plenty to choose from.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04'More than 600 lots are going under the hammer.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08'The viewing starts and almost immediately Christina is smitten.'
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I fell in love with this Arts & Crafts chair.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14It's absolutely beautiful. You can almost see how it's been made.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Typical Arts & Crafts. Great curves all along the back.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Unfortunately, someone hasn't loved it quite as much.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23It's had an attack of the mice.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Beautiful chair and, surprisingly,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28it's actually really rather comfy.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32I might have found my bidding spot from here!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35'Best not get too comfy, until you've bought it.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39'And a bit of a bonus, it comes with another Arts & Crafts chair.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44'Phil, meanwhile, has spotted something he thinks will sell well.'
0:04:44 > 0:04:48There are things that are flavour of the month and this is one of them.
0:04:48 > 0:04:54This is an oil painting on board by a lady called Cora Harrington.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59You've got these typical Irish cottages.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01This is an Irish subject.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04It's probably Donegal,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07somewhere on the west coast of Ireland, early 20th century.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10This is estimated at £100 to £150.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14I think I might give top side of £150 for that,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17cos I just happen to like it.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19'Both have their eyes on the prize.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23'It's Phil's oil painting that goes under the gavel first.'
0:05:23 > 0:05:27I'm starting here at £55 on the book. 60. Five.
0:05:27 > 0:05:3070. Five. 80. Five.
0:05:30 > 0:05:3390. I'm out. All done? And selling now at 90...
0:05:35 > 0:05:39'And Phil snaps up the landscape for less than its estimate.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42'The auction fees add on a bit...
0:05:43 > 0:05:46'..He's in the swing of it and waves his paddle again!'
0:05:46 > 0:05:50All sure at 130...?
0:05:50 > 0:05:55'It's a double strike, as he buys a circa 1900 satinwood table
0:05:55 > 0:05:58'with gilded floral decoration for...'
0:06:01 > 0:06:05If that isn't cheap for a table that would grace anyone's front room,
0:06:05 > 0:06:06well...
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I'm really pleased with that.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11'As always, you look elated, Foxy(!)
0:06:11 > 0:06:15'He's got his two purchases sorted, so the pressure's on Christina.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19'But she's not fazed. The late 19th-century Arts & Crafts chairs,
0:06:19 > 0:06:23'with an estimate of £80 to £100, soon go under the hammer.'
0:06:23 > 0:06:27At £80 I'm bid here. At £80 for it. Five if you like now.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31At £80. I'm selling, make no mistake. At 85. 90.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Five. 100. 110, and the book's out at 110.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39At 110. 120 now? At £110, right in front of me...
0:06:40 > 0:06:44'The Magpie is flying high, as she lands the chairs for...'
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Absolutely chuffed to bits. I think that's a bargain.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52'And she follows that up
0:06:52 > 0:06:55'by bidding on a 20th-century Arts & Crafts oak bookcase
0:06:55 > 0:06:58'with a guide price of £40 to £60.'
0:06:58 > 0:07:02At £65. Are you all sure at 65...?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06'Christina makes it a one-two by buying the bookcase for...'
0:07:09 > 0:07:13I love pieces of furniture that are functional as well as quite pretty.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17This is perfect. We've got a nice book slide, or book rest, on top.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21And a nice little reading table that comes out.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25You can sit and read your book. Very Liberty's style.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I am pleased as punch with that.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31'Our tough competitors have traded heavy punches,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34'but who will reap the most reward?
0:07:34 > 0:07:39'Each warrior started the Showdown with £1,000 in their war chest.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42'Courageous Christina Trevanion has spent...
0:07:48 > 0:07:52'..Fearless Phil Serrell has splashed a bit more cash...
0:07:58 > 0:08:00'..The bell's gone for Round 2.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06'Our daredevil duo are at a sale in Battersea in south London.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09'The sun is shining and the crowd is thronging
0:08:09 > 0:08:12'as they get ready to fight it out.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14'Christina is straight in there.'
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Look at those! I love them!
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- How much are the marbles? - You want the entire lot?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- It depends how much they are. - A fiver for the whole lid.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31A fiver for a whole lid. Will you take a couple of quid?
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Four.- Go on. You've got to get rid of them.- Four.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Three! Go on!
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- 3.50.- All right, then. £3.50. It's a deal. I like those.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Have you got a bag? - No! How am I going to get them home?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Can you wrap each one individually for me, please?
0:08:47 > 0:08:51'Individually wrapped? Have you lost your marbles?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54'If you have, no need to worry. There's plenty more on offer.'
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- We've got some more, if you want them.- Marbles?- Yeah.- Where?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- Do you know what? I'll tell you what we'll do.- Are you serious?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- RATTLING - Oh, my God! Keep the change.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- I'll have those.- You want the whole box?- Yeah! That'd be brilliant.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Thank you very much! Oh, my God! - STALL HOLDERS LAUGH
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I need serious muscles for those!
0:09:15 > 0:09:20£5. A whole box of marbles. Just got to find a marble collector.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22'Well, good luck, Christina.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26'Across the market, Phil buys both his items in one deal -
0:09:26 > 0:09:30'a fountain pen and a French vase for a total of £50.'
0:09:30 > 0:09:32You're an angel.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35'Phew! Light work, Mr Fox.'
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I'm really, really pleased.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I bought these two bits as a bulk-buy for my Showdown.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45This is a French 1980s art glass vase.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47It's signed just here, look.
0:09:47 > 0:09:491986.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53I think that's a really cool thing. Needs a bit of a clean-up.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56And this Parker Duofold 1940s pen.
0:09:56 > 0:10:02It's got a nine-carat gold nib. You can melt the nib if you need to!
0:10:02 > 0:10:04£25 each. £50 the two.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08I hope I'm on a winner. I've got big hopes for this.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I'm going to put this into auction.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12I think.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15'No room for indecision, Phil, as the Magpie, true to her nature,
0:10:15 > 0:10:21'spots some silver lids glinting on a pair of 1960s glass bottles.'
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- How much are those?- I'm asking 45.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- Because they are silver hallmarked tops.- Right.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Do you think they're storage jars? - No. They're too nice for that.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37They could be on a man's, not dressing table, whatever men have.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Yeah. I quite like those.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- I think they're lovely.- You want 45?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I'd take 40 but I can't do any less.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- £40. £20 a bottle?- Mm.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I think that's a fair price.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- We'll shake at 40 on it. - Thank you very much.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59'She's done it. The sparks are really flying.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01'As they reach the midway point of our bargain bust-up,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04'let's see where they stand.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08'From her starting purse of £1,000,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11'Christina Trevanion has trod carefully...
0:11:18 > 0:11:20'..Phil has forked out a little bit more...
0:11:32 > 0:11:34'..The antiques fair!
0:11:34 > 0:11:37'Our dealers are about to be unleashed in the freezing winds
0:11:37 > 0:11:39'of Malvern's flea and antiques market.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44'It's Phil's own stomping ground, so will he have an advantage?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47'Under ominous skies, there's a veritable cornucopia
0:11:47 > 0:11:50'of collectables for our ruthless rivals to rummage through.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54'Fantastic Mr Fox gets tooled-up for the fight straight away.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58'He buys a 19th-century truncheon for £60.'
0:11:58 > 0:12:00It's a little different to the norm.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Normal truncheons are, strangely enough, truncheon shaped.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08This, with its lantern head, it has just got a bit of a different look.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10'Phil sticks with weaponry,
0:12:10 > 0:12:14'as he batters his way to his second potential purchase -
0:12:14 > 0:12:16'four leather ammunition bags.'
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- You reckon these are First World War...- That's what I...
0:12:20 > 0:12:25You put a Bren gun magazine in there. Do you know? I like these.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30The thing is, they are completely and utterly useless, aren't they?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- How much for the lot? - 110 for the four.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- What about 100 quid cash, here and now?- Yeah. Go on.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40What am I going to do with these?
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- I'm sure you'll find a use for them. - You should have a wealth warning.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- What I'm going to do with those, I do not know.- They're so different.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51I have to pay you £100. What have I bought these for?
0:12:51 > 0:12:57'He doesn't seem sure, but could the cases give Phil the ammunition he needs to vanquish his enemy?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00'Not to be outdone, the Magpie is in glittery heaven,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03'as she snaps up an 18th-century
0:13:03 > 0:13:06'imitation diamond shoe buckle for £30.'
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Thank you very much.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12I'm really pleased with this buckle. I have taken a gamble.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15This replaced stone will put people off.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20But it's lovely. It's George III, 1790, 1800,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22with this beautiful paste set surround.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Each of the stones has been especially cut to fit in an oval.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30And intricate work on the gold, on the interior there.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Sadly, there's only one. There would have been two originally.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I know a buckle collector
0:13:36 > 0:13:39who'll, hopefully, give me a profit on that. Very pleased.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44'All sounds good, but the real sparkler is her next purchase.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48'More diamonds - this time, real ones on an Art Deco pendant.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50'But she had to splash the cash to get it.'
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Up until today, I hadn't spent much money on my Showdown pieces
0:13:54 > 0:13:57at the auction and car boot sale.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Until I saw this little dazzler.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02It was £1,000, which was way over budget.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05I managed to knock him down to 700
0:14:05 > 0:14:07and then 600 and then 575.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10It's a beautiful, beautiful Art Deco
0:14:10 > 0:14:12two-stone diamond pendant.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15We've got this large diamond at the bottom, claw set,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19suspended from a knife-edge bar, then a further collet set diamond.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22All from an 18-carat white gold chain.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Absolutely beautiful. Very commercial.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I think it's absolutely gorgeous.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31I'm sure I'll be able to sell it for a profit.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33The only thing is, I don't particularly want to!
0:14:33 > 0:14:37'Could the pendant be the jewel in Christina's victory crown?
0:14:37 > 0:14:41'Our valiant warriors are done with Blighty.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43'It's time to head abroad.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46'Let's catch up with who has spent what.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49'Well, it's all-change for Christina...
0:15:00 > 0:15:03'..Phil has been much more cautious...
0:15:17 > 0:15:21'..It's the last chance to stockpile their armouries,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24'as they say "bonjour" to Paris
0:15:24 > 0:15:27'and the 400 stall holders at the Porte de Vanves flea market.
0:15:27 > 0:15:34'C'est magnifique! But all that matters to our traders is who will end the day triumphant?
0:15:34 > 0:15:37'The Worcestershire warrior spots a Chinese vase.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40'However, the Fox doesn't speak French.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44'He won't let his lack of lingo get in the way of a good haggle.'
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- How much?- Deux cents.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48200 euro?
0:15:48 > 0:15:53- Can that be 100 euro? - No. It is not possible.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- What is possible?- Cent cinquante.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01- Is that 150 euro?- Yes, yes.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04'Phil's gearing up for some serious sign language.'
0:16:04 > 0:16:08120 euro. One...20 euro.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Merci, monsieur. Merci.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19130 euros.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22'Some fine fingerwork from the Fox.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25'Converting that to sterling, the Chinese vase cost...
0:16:27 > 0:16:31'..Phil's hoping the pottery is full of eastern promise!'
0:16:32 > 0:16:38I really like this. It's a Chinese vase decorated with a celadin ground.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42The stall holder said it's around 1900. I'm hoping he's right.
0:16:42 > 0:16:48Sometimes, these black marks can indicate that they're later.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51They reproduced some of these and they would have that mark.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55But he says he got this from a house clearance.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59I've no reason to disbelieve him. He was asking 200 euros.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I think it's too nice to convert into a dreaded Serrell lamp!
0:17:04 > 0:17:07'That leaves him just one Showdown item to shop for.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09'To avoid antiques annihilation,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12'Christina must hit back boldly - and she does.'
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Rolling cigars to put them in a mould?- Mm.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19'She buys a piece of smoking ephemera for 35 euros...'
0:17:22 > 0:17:25I'm now the proud owner of a cigar mould.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Probably a bizarre purchase, but there we go.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I quite like the fact that it's got its original labels.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35It's pine, 1950s, so he tells me. 1960s.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38We've got some German print on here.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42And the nice labels. It's a bit of fun, isn't it? Smoking ephemera.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Yeah. Maybe one of my more wacky purchases.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50'If it provides profit, it'll seem a sensible decision.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55'Spurred on, the Magpie spots her next target - a pastel sketch.'
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Do you know who the artist is? Oui. C'est Eugene Deshayes.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Do you know where it was painted?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- Barbizon.- Barbizon, in France. OK.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Would you take 130?- Hundred...?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Cent trente?- OK.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Yeah? Excellent. Merci, monsieur.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20'Christina's pretty as a picture, as she cuts a deal for...'
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I'm very taken with this picture.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26To me, it's very Impressionist.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30The fact that it's pastel rather than a watercolour is quite unusual.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33It's more like a hasty sketch and the light on it is beautiful.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37I love the way that it's still got its label on the back.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Really lovely. Nice signature at the bottom.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Very pleased with that. Very, very pleased. Merci, monsieur.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48'Christina's all bought-up, but Phil matches her blow for blow,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51'as he serves up his final buy.'
0:18:51 > 0:18:57It's a metal tray that's been painted to look like it's in the Chinoiserie style.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01These originally were made out of papier-mache in the Regency period.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04So they dated to about 1810, 1820.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06This is probably 1910, 1920.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10It's not going to be a tray when I've finished it - I hope.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Depending upon cost.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16It's going to make a lovely little low table on some turned legs.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19They want to be quite contemporary.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23If I could buy some perspex rods to drop it on, that would be ideal.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I've either got to sell the idea to someone else,
0:19:26 > 0:19:28or I've got to do it myself.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33I paid 95 euros and, hopefully, there should be a profit in that.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36'So, in the final move of this colossal clash, Phil spends...
0:19:40 > 0:19:42'..And that's it. Time is up.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45'The epic expedition is over.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48'Our heavyweight hagglers have dug deep at four giant events
0:19:48 > 0:19:52'and pushed themselves to the limit of human endeavour.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54'But has it all been worth it?
0:19:55 > 0:19:59'Our bartering battlers started out with £1,000 of their own money.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05'Christina's gone all-out and has spent almost everything she had...
0:20:08 > 0:20:10'..Phil has been much more modest...
0:20:15 > 0:20:20'..Outlay is one thing. Now it's all about selling and profit.
0:20:20 > 0:20:26'With a temporary truce to the hostilities, our warriors agree to meet, but Phil is waiting.'
0:20:26 > 0:20:30She'll be shopping. This is what blokes do, sit down and wait...
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- Oi! I can hear you. - Oh, sorry. How are you?- Hello.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- Well, done isn't it, eh? - Yeah. Showdown!- Shutdown!
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- LAUGHS - Feels a bit that way.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- Have you had a good day? - I've loved every single minute.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- Overall, what's your best Showdown bit?- Ooh, goodness me!
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I do love the diamond necklace.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- Worst bit?- Possibly my cigar mould.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I haven't got a clue what it is! How about you?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I really love my leather Bren gun cartridge cases.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- We'd better get home.- We've got the journey to think about it.- Come on.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09'Our brazen beauties beat their way back to Britain
0:21:09 > 0:21:14'to beaver away at finding new homes for all their prized purchases.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18'Because this is the ultimate thrill-seeking antiques challenge,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21'our hardened hagglers must choose which four items
0:21:21 > 0:21:25'they enter into the very special Showdown auction.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28'In the Magpie's nest in rural Shropshire,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31'Christina has it all figured out - almost.'
0:21:31 > 0:21:35There are things that I'm sure are going to go to auction.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37We're going to send the chairs.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Love this chair. It was "buy one get one free".
0:21:41 > 0:21:45To complement that, I'm going to put the Arts & Crafts bookcase in.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49The marbles, they are such a diverse age range.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54They've got to make more than a fiver. I'll let the market dictate.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Slightly undecided whether to put the cigar mould
0:21:58 > 0:22:02or my pastel sketch which I bought in Paris into the auction.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04We'll see what happens.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08'She must also find buyers for the 1960s glass bottles,
0:22:08 > 0:22:13'the Art Deco diamond pendant and the 18th-century buckle.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17'At the Fox's den in Worcestershire, Phil is all of a lather.'
0:22:17 > 0:22:19This is what it boils down to!
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I'm going to sell my satinwood table privately.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25I think I've got a buyer for that type of furniture.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29The Chinese market's quite volatile. Very good things make very good money.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I think that's an average 1900 vase.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34It should do OK,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37but it's better to sell it privately.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40As for the rest of it, it's an open book for me.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45The tray, I might speak with a friend who's got a base for that.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50One of us is going to have a better thing at the end of the day.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54The painting, Irish market, Cora Harrington, hot at the moment.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Which leaves us with one thing - or rather four things.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Win or lose? Who knows?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04'Phil must also decide about the 1940s fountain pen,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06'the 19th-century police truncheon
0:23:06 > 0:23:09'and the 1980s French glass vase.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14'Our gold diggers gather their contact books and grab their phones,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17'because there's no time to waste finding buyers.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22'Until they've shaken on it and the money's changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26'It's our golden girl who strikes first.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31'Christina races to Shrewsbury, to meet Derek, who works in the same auction house as her.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35'She knows he's an avid collector of antique shoe buckles.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39'The one she bought cost £30.'
0:23:39 > 0:23:41What is it about buckles that attracts you?
0:23:41 > 0:23:45They're just wonderful, aren't they? They're in different materials.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50We've got brass, steel, silver.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- And gold.- Ooh, nice!
0:23:53 > 0:23:56As they went through the 18th century,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00the buckles gradually got larger.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03So we finish up with this sort of size.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- And then this.- That's huge!
0:24:07 > 0:24:10They were considered a necessity,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- rather than a luxury. - They didn't have shoe laces.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- This was the only way of keeping your shoes on.- Yeah.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- That one looks very similar to this one!- Ah!
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I bought it because I knew you had an interest in buckles.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- I'd be interested to know what you think.- Right.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Well, it's about 1780.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34It's got, probably, gold. Yeah. Very nice.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39- There's one been replaced there. - Yeah.- Which detracts from the price.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- It's a shame, isn't it?- Mmm.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46I was really hoping to get in the region of, maybe, £60 for it.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I'm thinking more...£40.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- What about 50? Cos it's very lovely. - It is.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Look how sparkly it is!- I know. - And it's gold.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I know.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- Yes.- Really?- Yes.- Thank you very much. That's fantastic.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- £50. It's a deal. A deal. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10'First item sold. The buckle fastens a profit of £20.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13'Phil is not far behind.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17'There was never any doubt about selling the Chinese vase privately.
0:25:17 > 0:25:23'He's brought it to Upton-upon-Severn to see buyer Lee, who owns an antiques shop.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26'The vase cost just over £111.'
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Do you want to have a quick inspect before you go any further?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Yeah. It's a nice big fellow.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36I would think it's, what? 1900? 1910? Something like that?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Yeah. It's hard to tell with these vases.
0:25:39 > 0:25:44Obviously, the same methods are still used, but it's got a bit of age.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47I'd like to try and get as close to £200 as I can for it.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Hm.- I think it's worth that.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54The market is not as strong for this, decoratively, as it once was.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Subsequently, the prices are slightly affected.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- About £100?- Noo. No, no, no.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Try again, sir.- I think...
0:26:04 > 0:26:09120. That would be my best shot, and it'd be a gamble, from my part.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10180.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16No. I think we're worlds apart.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20My best shot, and it is my best shot, is 150.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- I'm not going to say no. - You're a gentleman. Thank you.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26'Lee didn't make it easy, but our wily Fox survived
0:26:26 > 0:26:28'and stalked off with a profit of...
0:26:30 > 0:26:35'..Phil goes off to line up more buyers and Christina, still in Shrewsbury, is at a jeweller's.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39'She's hoping to find a buyer for her Art Deco diamond pendant,
0:26:39 > 0:26:44'which cost over half her total budget - £575.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49'So, this is the big one. Will Nigel like it? Deep breath, Christina.'
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- It's very sparkly. Let's have a look.- Really beautiful.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58Nice old cut on the bottom. Another one on the top there.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03I think that's probably a platinum bar with a claw setting
0:27:03 > 0:27:05and a rub over set on the top.
0:27:05 > 0:27:12- Somebody's probably put a new chain on it.- What do you think of the diamonds? What's your thoughts?
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Nice colour. A few inclusions in the stones.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- You mean little black speckles that form?- Yeah.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24Natural little bits of carbon - diamonds are formed from carbon -
0:27:24 > 0:27:28are left in the stone and that affects the price.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- That's how we grade them. - Absolutely.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34I was hoping somewhere in the region of the £1,000 mark.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Mm. Yeah. Little bit top-heavy. A little bit top-heavy.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41I think about £800, possibly.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Could you bump it up slightly? - A little bit more.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46£850? Do you think?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Can we strike a deal on that?
0:27:49 > 0:27:52That sounds like a deal. I'd be happy with that. Yeah. 850.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54I'm happy with that. Brilliant.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59'The diamonds dazzle and Christina sparkles a whacking profit of...
0:28:01 > 0:28:06'Has our marvellous Magpie taken all the glory in one fell swoop?
0:28:06 > 0:28:10'Not if Phil has anything to do with it. He's bought a base from a furniture restorer
0:28:10 > 0:28:13'for his tray with the Chinese style decoration,
0:28:13 > 0:28:16'which he thinks will improve the item.'
0:28:16 > 0:28:20That's fantastic. There's my £80, £85 tray.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25There is my £40 butler's tray base.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28But put the two together and you've now got
0:28:28 > 0:28:32a really good serviceable, useful table and I'm really pleased.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35'But is the base worth the extra investment?
0:28:35 > 0:28:42'Foxy takes his newly created table to an antiques centre in Chipping Norton to meet Carol.'
0:28:42 > 0:28:44- The tray!- Ah!
0:28:44 > 0:28:46I felt so proud of myself.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49You saw this at the saleroom in less salubrious surroundings.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52- That's right. - I thought it was a nice tray.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- It's trying to be Regency, but it isn't.- No.
0:28:56 > 0:29:01It's trying to be 1800, 1820 and I think it's probably...
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- 70 or 80 years later than that. - You're probably right with the age.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10But...not sure about this stand. It doesn't go with it, does it?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13It does now. It didn't then.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- Right. - Get a nice country house colour.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19- One of those greens or greys they use.- Ah. Yes.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23- Yeah.- And paint it, and then put this on there.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Yes. It is useful, I'll grant you that.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30Yes, OK. I'm interested - but at a price.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34I'd like to get a tickle over £200, if I could, for it.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Oooh! I'd like to pay nearer 150 for it.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42- I'll split it down the middle. £175. LAUGHING:- 170.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44I've got to get a bit more than that.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47I'll tell you what. £172.50, how's that?
0:29:47 > 0:29:51- Shall we forget the 50? 172. - You're an angel. Thank you.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55'The table creation stands Phil a decent profit of...
0:29:56 > 0:30:00'..His leather magazine cases from World War I do him proud as well.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04'He sells them for £150 to a farmer near Tewkesbury
0:30:04 > 0:30:08'who loves his country pursuits, and pops in a profit of £50.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12'Christina decides not to send her pastel sketch to auction
0:30:12 > 0:30:14'when she finds a private buyer -
0:30:14 > 0:30:17'the owner of an antiques shop in Shrewsbury. He pays £142.50...'
0:30:17 > 0:30:21- Perfect.- We'll do the deal. Lovely.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24'..and she draws a profit of...
0:30:25 > 0:30:27'She goes all-out for her fourth item,
0:30:27 > 0:30:32'the £40 glass bottles with silver lids that date from 1968.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34'She travels to the swanky Burlington Arcade
0:30:34 > 0:30:37'in London's Mayfair to meet silver dealer Daniel.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41'And he solves the puzzle of their origin.'
0:30:41 > 0:30:45They would have been for communion wine for a travelling priest.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47The long thread!
0:30:47 > 0:30:51You'd get really frustrated if that was on your dressing table.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- You would do.- I would like to get... - Yeah.- ..£100 for them.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59I was thinking £30, £35 a bottle.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04- OK. So that's 70.- That's 70. How about 80? Split the difference.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08That's a fair price for them. £80, I'm very happy with that.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- Christina, that's fantastic. - Thank you.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14'Well worth the journey. Christina doubles her money.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19'Christina heads back to Shropshire with four items sold.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23'She's in the lead and can only wait for the Showdown auction.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26'All that remains for Phil is his satinwood table.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29'He has a plan involving a trip to Herefordshire.'
0:31:29 > 0:31:33At £150-odd, this was my most expensive buy for the Showdown.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38I really believe in it. You've got to if you want to make a profit.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40'Phil paid over £153 for the table.
0:31:40 > 0:31:45'He's meeting Nick, a furniture dealer based just outside Bromyard.'
0:31:45 > 0:31:48I just think this is a really good thing.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51It's satinwood. Probably dates to 1900?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53There or thereabouts.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57It's got a lovely little French label on the back, or on the bottom.
0:31:57 > 0:32:03- Oh, yeah.- That's probably a Parisian retailer rather than a maker.- Yeah.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Imagine if this had got a London retailer,
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- it would make it a good table, wouldn't it?- It's lovely quality.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14I would like to get as close to 250 quid as I can.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17I'd be happier nearer the two.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23If you can give me £230 and that's the finish of it, I'll be happy.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- Go on, then.- You're a gentleman. Thank you very much.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30'The table polishes off the private sales and provides a profit of...
0:32:32 > 0:32:35'..Is it enough to catch up with the Magpie?
0:32:35 > 0:32:40'Both our sparring Spartans have sold four items privately.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43'Christina "the Magpie" Trevanion's diamond pendant
0:32:43 > 0:32:45'has put her in sterling position...
0:32:49 > 0:32:53'..That puts her miles ahead of Phil "the Fox" Serrell...
0:32:58 > 0:33:03'..And that is where our hardened heroes hang up their haggling hats.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06'This is the point where they lose all control.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10'It's time for the supreme sell-off, the Showdown auction,
0:33:10 > 0:33:14'at the Charterhouse saleroom in Sherbourne in Dorset.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17'Our pair of awesome auctioneers are anxious.'
0:33:17 > 0:33:21- How are you?- You look very well. Are you OK?- Lovely day in Dorset.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25How could you fail to be nervous on a day like today!
0:33:25 > 0:33:27What's your big worry?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Oh, gosh! My chairs, I think.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33My chairs, my cigar mould, my marbles...
0:33:33 > 0:33:37I'm only worried about the four bits I put in!
0:33:37 > 0:33:42'To add to the tension, there are no reserve prices on our experts' lots.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46'Before it all kicks off, Phil and Christina check out their items.'
0:33:46 > 0:33:48I've been chatting to the auctioneer about my chairs.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53Yesterday, someone sat on this one and nearly went through the seat.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55I'm not feeling overly confident.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Irish art at the moment really is collectable.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03If it gets picked up by the internet it could make £200 to £400.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05If it doesn't, that's another story.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09I loved this when I bought it and I still love it today.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13It's useful. It would fit into a modern home. What can go wrong?
0:34:14 > 0:34:18This was £25 and I think it's a funky modern object.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20It's 1980s.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Not the retro vintage market, but I think that's a cool thing.
0:34:23 > 0:34:28Phil paid £25 for this, which I don't think was a bad buy.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30It's not a rare example of a Parker Duofold,
0:34:30 > 0:34:33but there is an active pen collectors' market.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36It's a little bit scuffed and worn, but it was a good buy.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41Christina paid £30 for this cigar mould and I'm not sure I would have.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45I'm not sure I can pass comment on Phil's truncheon.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Sadly, the colours have gone.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50You can't distinguish which force it's from.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54It's still a collector's item, isn't it?
0:34:54 > 0:34:57One of the ways I think I can beat Christina
0:34:57 > 0:35:00is by reducing her lot.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03If I just keep...
0:35:03 > 0:35:08taking these out of here... I'm going to be here some time!
0:35:08 > 0:35:11'Rest assured, he put them all back and just in time.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14'The marble collection is the first lot to go under the hammer.'
0:35:14 > 0:35:19- I think they'll do well. - They might be the only thing I make a profit on!
0:35:19 > 0:35:24They're just really good fun things. What are you ever going to do with a box of marbles?
0:35:24 > 0:35:28'Christina paid £5 for the marbles at the car boot.'
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Straight in here at £25.
0:35:31 > 0:35:3330. Five. At £35 and away now.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36At 35. At £35 now.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40Done, going, are you all sure? Selling away at 35...
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- That's really good. - It's not too bad.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Well done, you.- I've got commission to come off that.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50- INSINCERELY: I'm pleased for you. LAUGHING:- Thanks.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53'Our Magpie is already flying high.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57'After auction costs, the marbles make a profit of...'
0:35:57 > 0:36:00We've got your art glass vase.
0:36:00 > 0:36:06I always think it's good if you can try and buy a bit of quality...
0:36:06 > 0:36:10- Phil, this is signed, 1986. - Yeah. Late quality, vintage...
0:36:10 > 0:36:14That's younger than me. Vintage?
0:36:14 > 0:36:18- Would you say I was vintage? - You're retro.- Probably right.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21- Straight in at £10... - Ouch.- No.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26..30. £30 and away now. Last chance against the internet at £30. 30...
0:36:27 > 0:36:33'That's not enough. Once fees are deducted, the French vase goes into the red.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39'It's catching. Christina's cigar moulds also make a loss.'
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Selling away at 20...
0:36:42 > 0:36:45'And leave her £20.77 out of pocket,
0:36:45 > 0:36:48'wiping out the money she made on the marbles.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52'Next, it's Phil's Irish landscape by Cora Harrington.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56'It cost him over £106. His nerves are starting to show.'
0:36:56 > 0:37:01- How many picture dealers are in this room?- But it's internet bidding.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- Internet bidding.- What happens if there's a power cut in Ireland?
0:37:05 > 0:37:10- Have confidence, Phil. - I'm straight in here at £60.
0:37:10 > 0:37:1560. 70. 80. 90. 100. At £100 I have and away now.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- At £100... - Come on!
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Selling. Going away at £100...
0:37:21 > 0:37:24That's another little loss! BOTH LAUGH
0:37:24 > 0:37:26'Phil's second of the day.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31'Will the auction destroy our antiques ace?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33'It's really not going well.'
0:37:33 > 0:37:37MUSIC: "Holding Out For A Hero" by Bonnie Tyler.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41'Redemption isn't anywhere in sight.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45'Phil's 19th-century truncheon is another miss.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49'It makes £50 and batters the Fox with his third loss...
0:37:52 > 0:37:56'..He has just one chance left and he's really feeling the heat.'
0:37:56 > 0:38:00I'm getting really anxious because my pen is coming up.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02I won't let you be gloomy.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05I've had three out of three...
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- And I just... - You paid 25 quid for it.
0:38:09 > 0:38:15- £25.- It's got that magic name. Parker, Duofold, it's got gold!
0:38:15 > 0:38:19- The Duofold fountain pen. - Oh, look at this.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24Straight in at £15. 20. Five. I have £25. At £25.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Someone come in to fill it up. If not, it sells away at £25.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Fair warning at 25...
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- LAUGHING:- Again, your valuation was perfect!
0:38:34 > 0:38:37'So, that's a clean sweep of losses.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40'The 1940s fountain pen writes off Phil's auction...'
0:38:43 > 0:38:45You're not very nice sometimes.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48I'm here to support you, Phil.
0:38:48 > 0:38:53If you can support me without laughing I'd find it a whole load more supportive.
0:38:53 > 0:38:58'Our laughing lass now has the chance to capitalise on Phil's fall from grace.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01'She's got two items left to maximise her profit,
0:39:01 > 0:39:05'but her next lot is the mouse-eaten late 19th-century chairs.
0:39:05 > 0:39:10'She spent the best part of £130 on them and can't bear to look.'
0:39:10 > 0:39:13£100 and away, the two chairs? 100? 50, then, to start them?
0:39:13 > 0:39:1850 bid, thank you. At 50. £50 and away now. £50 I have now.
0:39:18 > 0:39:2050. 60. 70. 80 on the internet. At 80.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24Last chance. Fair warning. Last chance at 80...
0:39:26 > 0:39:27Crunch.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31'This is one of the worst days in Put Your Money history.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34'Not only is that another loss, but it's the biggest of the day...'
0:39:37 > 0:39:41- Shall I go and start the car? - Say consoling things, please.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44I'll tell you one thing. You've no idea...
0:39:44 > 0:39:47how relieved I am that they only made that!
0:39:47 > 0:39:51'But it's not over yet. It all comes down to one last lot.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54'It has a book trough,
0:39:54 > 0:39:57'a sliding reading stand
0:39:57 > 0:39:59'and a cupboard below.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03'It's early 20th-century oak. It cost almost £77.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07'It IS Christina's bookcase!'
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Basically, it all comes down to this bookcase.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Straight in here at £50 I have. 50.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- 60. 70. - Bid, bid, bid.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23£70 and away. Try another ten. If not, it goes and sells.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Going away at 70...
0:40:25 > 0:40:28That's a bit of a disappointment, isn't it?
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- Cos I was hoping... - It's no surprise.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36It's a big disappointment. I was hoping it'd make 15 quid.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38Rats!
0:40:38 > 0:40:41'Christina ends the day on a low.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44'It's her third loss.'
0:40:45 > 0:40:51- So we put eight lots in.- Yes. - And £5 of marbles have shown a profit.- That's it. Yup.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Time to go. It's been lovely. Thank you so much.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59'That's the Showdown done and dusted.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00'They've given it their all,
0:41:00 > 0:41:05'but after that disastrous auction, did either of them come up trumps?
0:41:05 > 0:41:08'Both our experts started with £1,000...
0:41:22 > 0:41:28'All money that Christina and Phil made from our colossal contest will go to a charity of their choice.
0:41:28 > 0:41:35'So, it's time to find out who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Showdown champion!'
0:41:35 > 0:41:38- How are you?- Yeah, good. This is the big one.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41- How did you find the Showdown? - I quite enjoyed it.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45Apart from the auction which, the less said the better.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- But you bought a really good lot for this, didn't you?- Well, Yeah.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51My old adage, buy what you know.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55That beautiful diamond pendant. I did quite well on that.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58- How did you...?- I just found it tough. I really found it tough.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02- The satinwood table, I liked that. I thought it was cheap.- Mm.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05I thought I'd get 250, 300 for it.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07I didn't quite do that, but it was OK.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- Are we going to have a look-see?- OK. Good luck.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Count to three. One, two, three, bang!
0:42:14 > 0:42:16- Ooh!- Well, I sort of thought that.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20CHRISTINA LAUGHS That is a complete whopping.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22That's quite satisfying.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24'It's a hard-fought victory for Christina,
0:42:24 > 0:42:29'but our experts have been building up their profit stash over a week.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33'Let's find out how much they've made in total.'
0:42:33 > 0:42:35On the count of three. One, two, three!
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- Look at that!- Well done!
0:42:39 > 0:42:45The thing is, there's two charities that have got over £2,000.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- That's the real winner. - That's the main thing.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- I need a real stiff drink now. - I need a rest.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- I suppose I'd better go and have a baby.- Take it steady!
0:42:54 > 0:42:57'It's an overall win for the wily Fox.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59'So, where is the money going?'
0:42:59 > 0:43:03My chosen charity is a Worcestershire based charity called PUPS.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06It looks after unwanted and abandoned puppies.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10I'm really hopeful that £1,200 is going to make a massive difference.
0:43:10 > 0:43:15My chosen charity is Hope House Children's Hospice. It's great to be able to give them this money.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18'It's been a week of no-holds barred combat.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22'Our excellent experts have put their money where their mouths are
0:43:22 > 0:43:26'and showed they can make convincing profits from buying and selling antiques
0:43:26 > 0:43:28'when their own money is on the line.'
