-other in an all-out battle for profit.

-Ha-hey!

0:00:080:00:11

And gives you the insider's view of the trade.

0:00:110:00:15

I'm on the case!

0:00:150:00:18

Each week, one pair of duelling dealers will face a different

0:00:180:00:22

daily challenge.

0:00:220:00:23

I'm a cheeky chancer. Lah-vly!

0:00:230:00:26

Putting their reputations on the line and giving you top tips

0:00:260:00:30

and savvy secrets on how to make the most money from buying and selling.

0:00:300:00:36

Let's go and spend some money.

0:00:360:00:37

Get in there!

0:00:370:00:40

Buckle up and prepare for a white knuckle ride.

0:00:400:00:43

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

0:00:430:00:47

the most awesome antiques challenge our experts have faced yet.

0:00:470:00:51

Our dynamic duo will have their superpowers tested to

0:00:510:00:55

the limit as they're sent on a mission to

0:00:550:00:57

fly across the country and continent to uncover hidden treasures

0:00:570:01:01

and sell them on for the biggest possible profits.

0:01:010:01:04

Coming up, David calls a Frenchman's bluff.

0:01:040:01:09

Can we do 40?

0:01:090:01:10

-No.

-No?

-50.

0:01:100:01:12

You said you didn't speak English.

0:01:120:01:14

Mais...la France coute cher. En Angleterre...

0:01:140:01:17

And Paul takes a mighty risk.

0:01:170:01:20

I could get this very wrong, but also I could get it very right.

0:01:200:01:23

This is life in the fast lane. It's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.

0:01:230:01:28

Run for your lives! It's the Showdown,

0:01:400:01:43

where our two supercharged challengers are up for one

0:01:430:01:47

final battle, as they bid for the biggest profit margins

0:01:470:01:50

and ultimate victory over their opponent.

0:01:500:01:53

Our bionic bargain buyers are two of the most respected

0:01:530:01:56

experts in the trade.

0:01:560:01:58

First up, artefact hunting hero and dastardly devilish

0:01:580:02:02

demon of delving deep and digging up hidden treasure, David Harper.

0:02:020:02:07

He is up against the magnificent mellifluent memorabilia machine,

0:02:070:02:11

the man with the mantle, Paul 'Mr Morecambe' Hayes.

0:02:110:02:15

They've been issued with details of their toughest challenge

0:02:150:02:18

to date, putting to test every ounce of their nous, knowledge

0:02:180:02:22

and antiques know-how. There can be only one winner.

0:02:220:02:26

-Good morning, David.

-Good morning, Paul.

-How are you?

0:02:260:02:29

-I don't know, but you're quivering.

-I'm nervous.

-Come on!

0:02:290:02:32

-I feel I'm going to part with some money in a minute.

-I think we're going to part with some money!

0:02:320:02:36

This is it. The big one. We've got our envelopes. The rules are simple.

0:02:360:02:41

"Welcome to the mighty Showdown.

0:02:410:02:44

"You each must buy two items at every one of your regular

0:02:440:02:48

"Put Your Money challenges. You have £1,000 to spend."

0:02:480:02:53

"You can sell up to four items wherever you want,

0:02:530:02:56

"the rest will be sold at an auction in Cheshire in direct

0:02:560:02:59

-"competition with your opponent."

-Well, of course.

-Be gentle with me.

0:02:590:03:03

-"The winner is the dealer who makes the most profit."

-As ever.

0:03:030:03:06

And it says here, "Good luck."

0:03:060:03:08

-Good luck. We're going to need it.

-I'm getting in there first.

0:03:080:03:11

So our two top traders are clearly nervous about the challenge

0:03:110:03:15

that lies ahead.

0:03:150:03:16

They know that the £1,000 of their own money that they have to

0:03:160:03:20

spend must cover any restoration repairs and buying fees.

0:03:200:03:23

It's going to be a ferocious fight, but who will fly away with the biggest profit?

0:03:230:03:28

Our chaps will be buying from their usual hunting grounds, an auction,

0:03:280:03:33

a UK antiques market, a foreign antiques market and a car boot sale.

0:03:330:03:39

Round one and it's hammer time for Hayes and Harper,

0:03:390:03:43

as they head to the Wotton Auction Rooms in Gloucestershire

0:03:430:03:47

where they'll each need to buy two lots.

0:03:470:03:50

David is already feeling the pressure.

0:03:500:03:52

You might just think this is easy, going to an auction room with thousands of items.

0:03:520:03:57

All I've got to do is buy two pieces for the Showdown. But it's not easy.

0:03:570:04:01

In fact, it is easy. It is easy to buy, but it's not easy to buy something at such

0:04:010:04:07

a low price that you can easily turn it over into a profit.

0:04:070:04:11

That's the difficult one.

0:04:110:04:13

Remember, buying is simple, selling is difficult.

0:04:130:04:18

So my head is in a spin.

0:04:180:04:20

# I'm so dizzy... #

0:04:200:04:22

And David's head is still in a spin as the auction gets under way

0:04:220:04:25

because it's Paul who's first off the mark when he bids

0:04:250:04:28

for a Minton dinner service estimated at between 75 and £100.

0:04:280:04:33

-44 is the number. £50 I'm bid.

-I'm in. No-one else wants it.

0:04:330:04:37

55, I'm bid. 60. 65. 70.

0:04:370:04:40

-And five. At 80. At £80, I'm bid.

-I'll have these, I think.

0:04:400:04:43

-£80, I'm bid. 85, I'm bid. 90.

-I think that's a winner.

0:04:430:04:47

-100. No? At £100, I'm bid.

-I've got it, I think.

0:04:470:04:51

-At £100, I'm bid. All done. You're quite happy with that.

-I've bought them. Thank you, sir.

0:04:510:04:57

So Paul's plates are dished up for £120, including costs.

0:04:570:05:01

But after closer inspection,

0:05:010:05:02

does he still think they can serve up a tasty profit?

0:05:020:05:05

These really are a decorative item.

0:05:050:05:07

They're designed to go into a cabinet, but they have been

0:05:070:05:10

commissioned from a really good factory, a firm called Minton.

0:05:100:05:14

Minton have been going since the 18th century, but this mark here,

0:05:140:05:18

which says Minton England, puts it about 1891, 1900, that sort of time.

0:05:180:05:22

So it's 100 years ago. And they've been issued

0:05:220:05:25

and lavishly laced with this wonderful sort of gilt edge.

0:05:250:05:28

I have just over 30 pieces here.

0:05:280:05:30

And for £100, I think that's a bit of a bargain.

0:05:300:05:34

With Paul hoping his dinner service will deliver

0:05:340:05:37

a feast of a profit, David knows he needs to quickly respond.

0:05:370:05:40

He's spotted a novelty clock that gets his heart ticking

0:05:400:05:43

a little faster.

0:05:430:05:45

It's got everything going for it. It's eccentric, it's quirky.

0:05:450:05:49

Where would you ever find another?

0:05:490:05:51

And it's got that '80s feel, which is now very chic.

0:05:510:05:55

David certainly looks comfortable enough while bidding,

0:05:550:05:58

but will his laid back approach pay off?

0:05:580:06:01

The large Swatch silly watch.

0:06:010:06:04

It's got a massive estimate, this thing. 80 to £100.

0:06:040:06:08

I'm here at £40. At 40. Any advance on 50? 60.

0:06:080:06:12

70, 80, 90.

0:06:120:06:14

-He can see me.

-100 and ten underneath the chaise longue.

0:06:140:06:17

110, selling at the back for 110.

0:06:170:06:20

1377.

0:06:200:06:22

The 1980s clock costs David £132, including commission,

0:06:220:06:27

and with that, our boys are tied on one purchase apiece.

0:06:270:06:30

It's Paul who is next to pick up the scent of another possible punt.

0:06:300:06:35

They're described in the catalogue as an interesting pair of Chinese

0:06:350:06:38

Ju'i sceptre clock incense burners.

0:06:380:06:41

They're in at 100 to £120.

0:06:410:06:43

But how will they fare in the auction?

0:06:430:06:46

-At 140.

-Oh, I've bought them.

0:06:460:06:48

-At 140, right at the back.

-Looks like I've bought them.

0:06:480:06:51

-They're sold.

-Thank you very much. There we are, I've bought them £140.

0:06:510:06:55

I was actually going to back out on that last bid.

0:06:550:06:58

After commission, the Chinese incense burners cost Paul £168,

0:06:580:07:02

but will they bring the sweet smell of victory or has

0:07:020:07:06

he simply got money to burn?

0:07:060:07:08

They're called a clock incense burner because they take a certain

0:07:080:07:11

amount of time to burn and they change the smells as they burn along.

0:07:110:07:15

They've got a seal mark on the bottom, that's like a government mark.

0:07:150:07:19

Often this was used if you were out in China to buy antiques.

0:07:190:07:23

It was a form of authentication to say these were an antique item.

0:07:230:07:27

These are 19th century Chinese.

0:07:270:07:29

That does tend to be where the market is today.

0:07:290:07:32

Having bought his two items, Paul is finished at the auction.

0:07:320:07:35

But ever the gent, Mr Hayes decides to give David some moral support

0:07:350:07:39

when he goes after a miniature portrait estimated at 100 to £120.

0:07:390:07:44

Five, 80, five, 90.

0:07:450:07:48

-Five, 100.

-Go on, you get it!

0:07:480:07:51

You've got it.

0:07:510:07:53

-At 110, I'm bid.

-Nice one.

0:07:530:07:56

-What's he look like?

-I don't know.

0:07:560:07:59

-At £110, then.

-Thank you very much.

0:07:590:08:01

Paul, I'm on fire.

0:08:010:08:04

Well, burning hot Mr Harper takes the picture for £132,

0:08:040:08:07

including fees.

0:08:070:08:09

But will his miniature make for a massive mark-up?

0:08:090:08:12

These things are the pre-runners to photography.

0:08:120:08:15

This is an early 19th century equivalent of a photograph that

0:08:150:08:19

you might have on your smartphone of your wife or your husband.

0:08:190:08:23

It's in its original frame,

0:08:230:08:25

but the frame is really good and really quite interesting

0:08:250:08:28

because as well as having the little hanger, if you just flick

0:08:280:08:33

this little clasp and pull the back out, it is also an easel frame.

0:08:330:08:38

And with the domed glass,

0:08:380:08:40

you almost get a bit of a three-dimensional look.

0:08:400:08:43

But what's great, yet again, is its originality.

0:08:430:08:45

For the money I paid, I think there's a little profit

0:08:450:08:48

and at the end of the day, that's what it's all about.

0:08:480:08:52

So David now has a miniature picture to go alongside his giant watch,

0:08:520:08:56

but as they battle for victory, how will those out of scale items

0:08:560:09:00

fare against Paul's regular sized purchases?

0:09:000:09:04

Our boys' Showdown budget was £1,000.

0:09:040:09:08

David Harper has spent £264 on his two lots,

0:09:080:09:12

leaving him with £736 to play with.

0:09:120:09:16

Paul Hayes has forked out a little more than his rival, £288,

0:09:160:09:21

which leaves £712 for the remaining three rounds.

0:09:210:09:27

Round two takes our battling buyers to the UK antiques market.

0:09:270:09:32

Our eagle-eyed experts have arrived at the Lincolnshire Antiques

0:09:320:09:35

and Home Show in Lincoln. Covering 200 acres,

0:09:350:09:39

it's the largest of its kind in Europe, making it a suitable

0:09:390:09:42

spectacular site for the second round of this Showdown.

0:09:420:09:46

As they both brave the elements, it's Paul who is again

0:09:460:09:49

first off the mark when he spends £200 on an antique barometer.

0:09:490:09:54

I'm really, really pleased with this. I bought a real piece of history.

0:09:540:09:59

Just think Admiral FitzRoy was on HMS Beagle with none other than Charles Darwin.

0:09:590:10:03

And during that voyage, he worked out a method of working out

0:10:030:10:06

atmospheric pressure, doing this barometer.

0:10:060:10:10

It's a lovely, old, oak case. It dates about 1900.

0:10:100:10:14

I'm delighted with that. A real piece of iconic history.

0:10:140:10:17

And there's no atmospheric change in this contest as Paul already

0:10:170:10:21

has his eyes set on his second buy at the fair.

0:10:210:10:24

A signed picture that gets his heart racing.

0:10:240:10:26

Ah now, I've spotted a real bit of sport memorabilia here.

0:10:260:10:29

I recognise this name straight away. Roger Bannister.

0:10:290:10:32

Go to the top of our stairs. HE CHUCKLES

0:10:320:10:35

It's 5 May 1954.

0:10:350:10:37

"Roger Bannister, a 25-year-old British medical student,

0:10:370:10:40

"has become the first man to run a mile in under a four minutes."

0:10:400:10:43

What a fantastic achievement.

0:10:430:10:45

So that's Roger there, and that's his signature - Roger Bannister.

0:10:450:10:49

That's a real piece of sports memorabilia.

0:10:490:10:51

20 quid. I think it's a bit of a record breaker.

0:10:510:10:54

Paul's dedication pays off and the pressure is now on David.

0:10:540:10:59

But he's quick to respond,

0:10:590:11:01

as he finds an Oriental object of interest.

0:11:010:11:04

It's obviously 19th century.

0:11:040:11:06

May be circa 1900. I'm looking for evidence of hand-painting.

0:11:060:11:10

And this is all hand-painted.

0:11:100:11:12

It's very glamorous, very big and very bold.

0:11:120:11:16

And it really today's market.

0:11:160:11:18

David buys the ornate jardiniere stand for £210,

0:11:180:11:22

leaving him with one item left to pick up from the antiques market.

0:11:220:11:27

And the graceful bargain grabber soon finds a bronze swan

0:11:270:11:30

that fits the bill.

0:11:300:11:32

So what is he and what is he from?

0:11:320:11:35

Well, he could be from a piece of furniture, and some would

0:11:350:11:38

think he was, but I'm leaning more towards him being a car mascot.

0:11:380:11:42

In the early part of the 20th century,

0:11:420:11:44

right up to the beginning of the Second World War, 1939,

0:11:440:11:47

you could go and buy a wild and wacky car mascot.

0:11:470:11:51

And stylise your car with your own independent look.

0:11:510:11:56

Thank you so much.

0:11:560:11:57

David pays dealer Karen £110 for the car mascot,

0:11:570:12:01

bringing the second round of buying to an end.

0:12:010:12:04

The antiques fair proved fertile hunting ground

0:12:070:12:10

for our acquiring experts.

0:12:100:12:12

But will Paul race to victory with his signed picture,

0:12:120:12:15

or will David's Chinese table stand him in good stead?

0:12:150:12:18

From the original £1,000 they started off with,

0:12:220:12:25

David Harper has now spent £584 -

0:12:250:12:29

which leaves him with £416 in his kitty.

0:12:290:12:32

Paul Hayes isn't far behind, having parted with £508,

0:12:340:12:39

giving him £492 for the remaining two rounds.

0:12:390:12:43

And so to Round Three.

0:12:440:12:46

It's time for our antagonistic opponents to take this battle global,

0:12:460:12:50

as they head to a foreign antiques market.

0:12:500:12:53

And as they step into the indoor market in Douai, Northern France,

0:12:530:12:57

our two gathering storms collide to catch up.

0:12:570:13:00

We're halfway through the show down.

0:13:000:13:02

Have you any plans to buy something else today?

0:13:020:13:04

I think it's got to be distinctly French.

0:13:040:13:06

So when you take it back to the UK, it's going to be different.

0:13:060:13:08

If you've got something different,

0:13:080:13:10

you've got a better chance of selling it.

0:13:100:13:12

-Something you can't buy in England.

-Exactly.

-A decent cup of tea.

0:13:120:13:15

THEY LAUGH

0:13:150:13:16

You are unlikely to get it here!

0:13:160:13:17

-Well, bonne chance, as they say in France.

-Bonne chance.

0:13:170:13:20

Having seen Paul take an early lead in the previous two rounds,

0:13:200:13:23

David is chomping at the bit to get going,

0:13:230:13:26

but, yet again, it's Mr Morecambe who kicks off the proceedings

0:13:260:13:29

when an antique clock strikes him as rather grand.

0:13:290:13:33

It's typically French, you just don't see these in England at all.

0:13:330:13:37

You've got this aged case here, which is over 100 years.

0:13:370:13:40

This has been in a chateau somewhere in the countryside here in France.

0:13:400:13:44

It is working. And do you know what, I think that's a bargain.

0:13:440:13:47

Eventually, we settled on about 180 euros.

0:13:470:13:49

Which I think is really cheap.

0:13:490:13:51

As they say in France, c'est formidable, n'est-ce pas?

0:13:510:13:54

Which I think means, it's all right, isn't it?

0:13:540:13:57

So Paul's, ahem, excellent language skills win him

0:13:570:14:00

the 19th century Grandfather clock for £153.85.

0:14:000:14:05

And before David has time to retaliate,

0:14:050:14:07

Paul spots a Chinese statue worth a punt.

0:14:070:14:11

-C'est combien ca?

-How much?

-How much for me?

-Only for you?

-For me, yes.

0:14:110:14:18

-500.

-500?

0:14:180:14:21

300 euros.

0:14:210:14:23

-350.

-350 euros?

-Yes.

0:14:230:14:27

-Do you know what, je...acheter.

-350.

-350. OK.

0:14:270:14:33

Paul lands the statue for the princely sum of £299.15

0:14:330:14:38

but will it help him make his fortune?

0:14:380:14:42

Now and again things just jump out at you.

0:14:420:14:44

And this just says quality. I think it's about 100 years old.

0:14:440:14:48

It's of a Chinese character, I think it might be Confucius.

0:14:480:14:51

The gilding work on this, the cinnabar red lacquer,

0:14:510:14:55

it's just the best. I've taken a real chance and it. 350 euros.

0:14:550:14:59

I could get this very wrong but also, I could get it very right.

0:14:590:15:03

Or he could just be trying to confuse-us.

0:15:030:15:06

Paul may have been drawn to the Oriental

0:15:060:15:08

but David is wholeheartedly embracing all things French!

0:15:080:15:12

In fact, he's donned a silly blue beret

0:15:120:15:14

and sniffed out an Art Deco perfume bottle.

0:15:140:15:17

Just look at the way the light reflects.

0:15:180:15:20

It's good quality. But more than anything else,

0:15:200:15:23

it's the shape of it that I absolutely adore.

0:15:230:15:26

It's really screaming Art Deco. Priced at 60 euros. Can we do 40?

0:15:260:15:31

-No.

-No?

-50.

-You said you didn't speak English!

0:15:310:15:36

Mais...la France coute cher. En Angleterre...

0:15:360:15:38

THEY LAUGH

0:15:380:15:40

No, no. That's the price.

0:15:400:15:41

Yep. Really? Meet in the middle, 45?

0:15:410:15:44

-No.

-Really?

-Really.

-I've got to have it. 50 euros .

0:15:440:15:48

I'm going to put that into an auction.

0:15:480:15:50

50 euros. Gentlemen.

0:15:500:15:52

David pays £42.74 for the Art Deco perfume bottle

0:15:520:15:56

and hopes it will help him attract a sizeable profit.

0:15:560:16:00

With only one item left to buy on French soil, David is keen to

0:16:000:16:04

spend his cash and finds something that might just fit the mould.

0:16:040:16:08

I'm no chef at all. I hardly ever cook.

0:16:100:16:12

But I would love to go home, heat some chocolate,

0:16:120:16:16

and make a mould of those things. What a great party piece.

0:16:160:16:20

They are probably 1950s and 1960s.

0:16:200:16:22

However, the dealer seems more interested in doing a deal with us

0:16:220:16:26

than with David himself.

0:16:260:16:28

60 euros. For the two pieces, it's 80 euros.

0:16:290:16:35

You don't need to convince them, I'm the one with the money.

0:16:350:16:38

OK, OK.

0:16:380:16:39

SHE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:16:390:16:41

Oh, look. I think she's just made me buy them.

0:16:410:16:43

-All right, I'm going to have to have them.

-Very good.

0:16:430:16:45

You are a very good and very lovely. I'm going to say oui, madame, oui.

0:16:450:16:49

Thank you very much.

0:16:490:16:50

David is railroaded into doing the deal and dishes out a

0:16:500:16:53

sweet £51.28 for the chocolate moulds,

0:16:530:16:57

bringing round three to a conclusion.

0:16:570:16:59

In this round, our international dealers have bought

0:17:000:17:03

a diverse selection of delectable items.

0:17:030:17:06

From Paul's Oriental statue and grandfather clock

0:17:060:17:10

to David's aromatic collection of perfume and chocolate related items,

0:17:100:17:14

so let's see who's got what left to spend?

0:17:140:17:18

From his £1,000 starting budget, David Harper has now spent £678.02

0:17:190:17:26

which leaves him with £321.98.

0:17:260:17:31

Paul Hayes has splashed the cash in round three, helping push

0:17:310:17:34

his spending up to £961, meaning he only has £39 in his kitty.

0:17:340:17:40

BELL RINGS

0:17:420:17:44

It's the final round in this onslaught of opportunistic

0:17:440:17:47

antiques buying as our pair of profit hunting personalities

0:17:470:17:50

have to sort the wheat from the chaff

0:17:500:17:52

and the trash from the treasure as they head to a car boot sale.

0:17:520:17:56

They swing into the Bilton Giant Indoor Car Boot Fayre

0:17:560:18:00

in North Shields.

0:18:000:18:01

This is last chance saloon for our desperado dealers to buy

0:18:010:18:05

the items they think will guarantee victory.

0:18:050:18:09

And Paul is the quickest on the draw yet again,

0:18:090:18:11

as he finds his first purchase - a Victorian meat plate.

0:18:110:18:15

When I started, these sort of things were £30-£40.

0:18:150:18:19

They date from about 1860-1870.

0:18:190:18:21

This one is six quid.

0:18:210:18:23

The original idea behind them, they were trying to copy

0:18:230:18:26

the Chinese imports that were coming into the country at the time.

0:18:260:18:29

That's probably the bargain of the day, I think.

0:18:290:18:32

Paul's hoping to slice off a side of success with his meat plate.

0:18:320:18:36

He's got one item left to buy and only £33 to spend on it.

0:18:360:18:40

So when he suddenly spots a stall selling a pair of Sandie Shaw shoes,

0:18:410:18:45

he can only hope they'll tread within his budget.

0:18:450:18:48

Now, tell me about these,

0:18:480:18:50

because she was famous for not wearing shoes.

0:18:500:18:52

For not wearing shoes, but she obviously put her name,

0:18:520:18:55

in the 60s, to the...

0:18:550:18:56

Sandie Shaw by Doris of London. There we go.

0:18:580:19:01

They would normally be 35 but I can do them for 25 for you.

0:19:010:19:05

-Can we say £20?

-Yes, I'll do that.

-Right, OK. That's music to my ears.

0:19:050:19:09

Paul walks off with his vintage shoes and is all bought up.

0:19:090:19:14

So the pressure is now all on David.

0:19:140:19:16

But our Mr Harper isn't one to duck a challenge

0:19:160:19:19

and he's spotted a backgammon set he likes the look of.

0:19:190:19:22

It's not made out of wood this box. It's made out of stone.

0:19:220:19:27

Very heavy, very cold. And it's soapstone.

0:19:270:19:30

And I think, for a private buyer,

0:19:300:19:31

they'd think they are getting a lot of value for money

0:19:310:19:34

out of something that was handmade from stone.

0:19:340:19:36

Now then, 15 quid.

0:19:360:19:38

Can I get a little bit of discount, just as the bit of a treat?

0:19:380:19:42

-12?

-Go on then. Perfect.

0:19:420:19:44

So David hopes the backgammon set may prove to be the killer move

0:19:440:19:48

in this battle of skill.

0:19:480:19:49

Mr Harper now has just one more purchase to make

0:19:490:19:52

and he's found an object of curiosity worthy of his attention.

0:19:520:19:56

"A real necessity to every businessman."

0:19:570:20:01

This is a businessman's toolkit!

0:20:010:20:03

So it's for a businessman circa 1960-1963.

0:20:030:20:08

And he would buy this and create posters, letter heads.

0:20:080:20:12

He would use the stencilling to put things on windows,

0:20:120:20:15

-sale signs and all of that. How the world has changed.

-Hasn't it?

0:20:150:20:19

-What do you do now?

-Put it into the computer.

0:20:190:20:21

Put it into a computer and press print.

0:20:210:20:23

-How much is it?

-I had ten on.

0:20:230:20:26

-I'll do it for five.

-Go on. I couldn't say no. I couldn't say no.

0:20:260:20:30

David's purchase of the businessman's printing set

0:20:300:20:33

brings the final round to an end.

0:20:330:20:36

Our powerhouses of prime purchasing have shown their true colours

0:20:360:20:39

and revealed every trick up their sleeve.

0:20:390:20:42

Paul is hoping his retro shoes will help him dance to victory,

0:20:420:20:45

while David is betting on his backgammon board being a winner.

0:20:450:20:49

But let's find out how much of their budgets

0:20:490:20:51

our rummaging rivals have spent.

0:20:510:20:54

Our boys each started the day with £1,000 of their own money to spend.

0:20:540:20:59

David Harper's Showdown selection cost him a cool £695.02

0:20:590:21:06

Whereas Paul Hayes spent big, parting with a mighty £987.

0:21:060:21:13

With four intense rounds of antiques treachery

0:21:140:21:17

and buying bravado now over,

0:21:170:21:20

our bitter rivals meet up to see how each other got on.

0:21:200:21:23

Well, that was a week of excitement, of fun, of experiences, wasn't it?

0:21:230:21:30

-It just goes to show, it is a game of chance.

-Oh, brilliant!

0:21:300:21:34

The showstopper for me has to be the two Oriental items.

0:21:340:21:37

The Chinese incense clock and that statue.

0:21:370:21:41

Absolutely right. I think they are your big potential winners.

0:21:410:21:44

-Well bought, I think.

-You've got the lovely Chinese table.

0:21:440:21:47

-Chinese table.

-The next time I see you will be at the auction.

0:21:470:21:50

Absolutely. I'm going to miss you, it's been a great week.

0:21:500:21:53

It's been a pleasure to meet me, hasn't it?

0:21:530:21:55

-It really has, especially for me.

-Good luck, mate.

-See you.

0:21:550:21:58

It's time to brace yourselves and hold on to your hats

0:22:010:22:05

as the second half of today's epic challenge is about to get underway!

0:22:050:22:10

The incredible buying bonanza was just the first part of this

0:22:100:22:13

battle and David and Paul must now get down to

0:22:130:22:15

the business of finding buyers for their sellables.

0:22:150:22:18

But this being the Showdown, there's an extra twist. The auction.

0:22:190:22:23

David and Paul must each put half their items under the hammer,

0:22:230:22:27

which means they might see their profits fly sky high,

0:22:270:22:29

or watch in horror as they crash and burn.

0:22:290:22:33

Strategy is now more important than ever,

0:22:330:22:36

and over in Morecambe, Paul has made some key decisions about which

0:22:360:22:40

items to put forward to auction and which to shift himself.

0:22:400:22:43

I'm very pleased with what I've bought, actually.

0:22:450:22:47

I think the items I'm going to send to the auction have to be

0:22:470:22:49

the two Chinese items, this wonderful gilt wood 19th-century statue.

0:22:490:22:54

The two incense burners, they date from the late 19th century.

0:22:540:22:57

Again, Chinese. And these two items really could take off.

0:22:570:23:01

Of course, the big French clock.

0:23:010:23:03

And this dinner service, I think it might do well at auction.

0:23:030:23:06

So I've got to find buyers for a £6 blue and white meat plate,

0:23:060:23:10

A wonderful Admiral FitzRoy barometer,

0:23:100:23:12

the Roger Bannister signed photograph

0:23:120:23:15

and of course, Sandie Shaw's shoes from South Shields.

0:23:150:23:20

That's easy for you to say, Paul.

0:23:200:23:22

Now he's ready for the drama that is about to unfold,

0:23:220:23:25

but what about David?

0:23:250:23:27

So what do I have in front of me?

0:23:270:23:29

Well, quite an eclectic mix when you look at it.

0:23:290:23:32

This one here, the miniature, late 18th century.

0:23:320:23:35

Quite a haughty looking gentleman.

0:23:350:23:38

Then we've got the circa 1920-1930 big, bronze swan car mascot.

0:23:380:23:43

I love that thing!

0:23:430:23:45

He's still got his tongue out, he still in a cheeky mood.

0:23:450:23:47

And then something that takes us

0:23:470:23:49

right into the back end of the 20th century. Well, 1960s.

0:23:490:23:53

This businessman's necessity.

0:23:530:23:55

Something to create posters or point-of-sale items.

0:23:550:23:58

I've got the chocolate moulds. Again, from the 20th century.

0:23:580:24:02

And then I got my auction pieces, the fantastic Chinese stand,

0:24:020:24:06

I've got high hopes for that.

0:24:060:24:08

Then at the other end of the spectrum,

0:24:080:24:10

the big, massive Swatch watch. Funky thing.

0:24:100:24:12

Then we've got the African soapstone backgammon box.

0:24:120:24:16

I mean, this is a wildly eclectic mix of items.

0:24:160:24:19

And finally, the Art Deco perfume bottle.

0:24:190:24:22

So the next time, Paul, Mr Morecambe,

0:24:220:24:24

we see each other, will be at the auction.

0:24:240:24:26

But before the action of the Showdown auction, our big talking

0:24:260:24:29

experts must get to work finding buyers for their other items,

0:24:290:24:33

knowing that no deal is truly sealed until the final handshake!

0:24:330:24:37

It's Devilish David who's first to get going.

0:24:390:24:42

He's not had to go far from his Barnard Castle home

0:24:420:24:45

for his first target, taking the pair of chocolate moulds that

0:24:450:24:48

cost him £51.28 to another David who owns a chocolate shop in the town.

0:24:480:24:54

I think they're wild and wacky.

0:24:540:24:57

-Are they to make hollow chocolates or solid?

-Hollow.

0:24:570:25:00

They are probably 1950s, 1960s.

0:25:000:25:01

Just for display purposes in a chocolate shop,

0:25:010:25:04

-they are absolutely bang on, or they?

-They'd be ideal.

0:25:040:25:06

-Do you want me to make you an offer?

-Now this is novel.

0:25:060:25:09

What would you say to 70?

0:25:090:25:11

£70 each.

0:25:120:25:14

HE LAUGHS No. For the pair.

0:25:140:25:17

How about if I said £55 each?

0:25:170:25:20

£45 each.

0:25:200:25:23

If we meet in the middle with 100 quid straight,

0:25:230:25:25

and you make me one of those chocolate moulds.

0:25:250:25:28

Good man.

0:25:280:25:29

Oh hello! That is fantastic.

0:25:290:25:32

Things are shaping up well for David as he makes

0:25:320:25:36

a sweet £48.72 profit on the moulds.

0:25:360:25:38

Keen to get started with his own selling, Paul's taken the vintage

0:25:400:25:43

shoes that cost £20 to show Amanda who runs a retro shop in Morecambe.

0:25:430:25:48

But will he walk off with a profit?

0:25:480:25:50

-Just take a look at those. What do you think of them?

-Lovely.

0:25:510:25:55

-Aren't they fantastic?

-Gorgeous.

-Have you come across her work before?

0:25:550:25:58

No, but she started her own clothing and shoe range in about '68.

0:25:580:26:03

-This is fabulous.

-Well, they stand at £20.

-OK.

0:26:030:26:06

If I was to ask you for £40 for them, would that be pushing my luck?

0:26:060:26:09

-Yeah, it would be pushing your luck a bit.

-OK.

0:26:090:26:12

-How do you see them?

-Um...25.

-Can we meet halfway?

-30?

0:26:120:26:17

-Shall we shake on that?

-Yep.

-That's lovely.

0:26:170:26:20

Paul makes a £10 profit on the shoes

0:26:200:26:22

and can't resist a quick costume change.

0:26:220:26:25

# Cos he's a dedicated follower of fashion... #

0:26:250:26:30

Yes, the man from Morecambe dons his gladrags.

0:26:320:26:34

And won't we all be glad when he takes them off again?

0:26:340:26:38

Which he does, before heading down to Surrey

0:26:380:26:40

where barometer collector, Graham,

0:26:400:26:42

buys the antique Admiral FitzRoy barometer for £220,

0:26:420:26:46

giving Paul a temperate profit of £20.

0:26:460:26:49

David is quick to retaliate as he finds a good home

0:26:530:26:56

for the early 19th century miniature portrait,

0:26:560:26:59

selling it to silhouette miniatures collector, Roger

0:26:590:27:02

for a profit of £43.

0:27:020:27:03

And he doesn't stop there.

0:27:030:27:06

Next, he takes the vintage sign painting set that cost him £5

0:27:060:27:10

to Eleanor who owns a shop in Barnard Castle

0:27:100:27:13

specialising in photography and printing.

0:27:130:27:15

This is circa early 1960s.

0:27:180:27:20

Back in those days, anyone in printing would have one of these.

0:27:200:27:23

I think anybody maybe running a small business or in a

0:27:230:27:27

clerks office who wanted to do a promotional poster,

0:27:270:27:31

they would pretty much do it themselves.

0:27:310:27:34

I think it's something that we would put in the window on display.

0:27:340:27:37

That's what I was hoping you would be thinking as well.

0:27:370:27:39

If I said to you 40 quid?

0:27:390:27:42

-I was thinking more in the region of 25.

-Were you really?

0:27:420:27:45

-Should we say 35?

-I was thinking 30 tops.

-Go on.

-It's a deal.

0:27:450:27:50

-Thank you very much.

-You're welcome, David.

-Wonderful.

0:27:500:27:52

David makes a £25 profit on the printing set,

0:27:520:27:56

selling it for six times the purchase price.

0:27:560:28:00

David's got just one item left to sell before

0:28:000:28:02

the all out war on the auction floor.

0:28:020:28:04

But it's Mr Morecambe who is next to move when he sells

0:28:040:28:07

the Victorian dinner plate for a £4 profit to an antiques shop in Lewes.

0:28:070:28:11

Paul now also has only one item left to sell before the Showdown auction,

0:28:140:28:18

the framed photograph and autograph of Roger Bannister.

0:28:180:28:22

It cost him £20 at the antiques fair

0:28:220:28:25

but his dreams of crossing the finishing line with a profit

0:28:250:28:28

slip away when he learns from Brighton-based Robert,

0:28:280:28:30

who owns a vintage postcard and print shop

0:28:300:28:33

that they are not originals.

0:28:330:28:35

Undeterred by this set-back,

0:28:370:28:38

Paul manages to sell the print to Deborah and Edwina, who are part of

0:28:380:28:42

a running club in Gloucestershire, and makes his money back.

0:28:420:28:46

So it's on your marks, get set, go!

0:28:460:28:49

# Keep on running

0:28:490:28:51

Look at that boy go!

0:28:510:28:53

# Running from my arms... #

0:28:530:28:55

Paul's now run out of items to sell and he's ready for the auction.

0:28:550:28:59

David has a different kind of racing in mind for the sale

0:28:590:29:02

of the bird car mascot that cost him £110.

0:29:020:29:05

He's taken it to a Middlesbrough racetrack to meet stunt driver,

0:29:050:29:09

Kelly Bird.

0:29:090:29:11

-You obviously love cars.

-Yes, definitely.

0:29:110:29:13

-And you've got a car collection.

-Yep.

0:29:130:29:15

So what about a fantastic car mascot from the 1920s or 1930s?

0:29:150:29:22

-Cast bronze. It's cool, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:29:220:29:25

So is it going to join the Kelly Bird collection of automobilia?

0:29:250:29:29

-Maybe.

-Ah, it's all down to you know what, isn't it?

-Yep.

0:29:290:29:33

-160 I'm looking for.

-120.

-120?!

0:29:330:29:38

-155.

-140.

-150 and we are done.

-150.

-Good girl. Wonderful. Thanks, Kelly.

0:29:380:29:45

Great. Marvellous.

0:29:450:29:47

David accelerates on with a £40 profit for the car mascot

0:29:470:29:51

and he's spinning with delight.

0:29:510:29:53

HE SCREAMS

0:29:580:30:00

Before our two brave boys head to the auction, it's time to find out

0:30:040:30:07

how their selling efforts have set them up,

0:30:070:30:10

ready for the final part of this epic battle.

0:30:100:30:12

Devilish David Harper has sold four of his buys

0:30:140:30:18

and turned a healthy profit of £156.72.

0:30:180:30:22

Paul 'Mr Morecambe' Hayes has also sold four items

0:30:240:30:27

but he's only made £34.

0:30:270:30:30

Our boys' industrious selling efforts end here

0:30:310:30:35

because their remaining items must go in the Showdown auction -

0:30:350:30:39

a place where all their experience and dealing prowess

0:30:390:30:42

will have no influence on what their items sell for.

0:30:420:30:45

Here we are then. This is it, Paul. The big one. The big auction.

0:30:460:30:49

That's right. It's the final concert of the comeback tour.

0:30:490:30:52

THEY LAUGH

0:30:520:30:53

We've got a great audience

0:30:530:30:54

because most of the items in here today are Oriental.

0:30:540:30:57

We've got some great Chinese things.

0:30:570:30:59

We are all looking for the Oriental winners.

0:30:590:31:01

Yeah, I think we could do all right today.

0:31:010:31:03

Look at that baby. Is that not delicious or what?

0:31:030:31:05

I thought you were looking at these cups of tea.

0:31:050:31:07

-Here you go, that's your cup.

-I was talking about them.

0:31:070:31:09

-The best thing I've seen all morning.

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

0:31:090:31:12

All the best to you.

0:31:120:31:13

Yes, they're putting a brave face on it, but in reality,

0:31:130:31:16

David and Paul's hopes and dreams are firmly in the hands of

0:31:160:31:19

the others as their items go on sale

0:31:190:31:21

at the Adam Partridge auctioneers in Macclesfield.

0:31:210:31:24

But before the hammer starts to fall,

0:31:240:31:26

our duelling dealers assess the lie of the land.

0:31:260:31:30

Here is one of Paul's lots.

0:31:300:31:32

You know what, nobody can criticise Paul Hayes for buying absolutely

0:31:320:31:37

superb quality pieces, because these are screamingly good quality.

0:31:370:31:42

Stamped with the marking "England," that tells you instantly

0:31:420:31:45

these things were made after 1891 and before the First World War.

0:31:450:31:51

The big downside is they are just not fashionable.

0:31:510:31:54

I'm a bit of a traditionalist, really.

0:31:540:31:56

There are some wonderful items here. And then there's this one, David.

0:31:560:31:59

What happened? HE LAUGHS

0:31:590:32:01

This Chinese tall figure of a deity bought by Paul Hayes

0:32:010:32:06

is my favourite item completely.

0:32:060:32:09

This, for me, is the piece to watch.

0:32:090:32:12

This is a real statement piece, isn't it? It's a huge stand.

0:32:120:32:16

You can imagine a wonderful Chinese vase

0:32:160:32:19

sitting on the top of this in the corner of a Victorian conservatory.

0:32:190:32:23

I do think today is going to be the battle of the Orientals.

0:32:230:32:27

And so, as the bidding gets underway,

0:32:270:32:30

there's an expectant buzz in the air.

0:32:300:32:32

The first lot to go under the hammer is David's soapstone backgammon set.

0:32:320:32:37

-Well, the first one, Paul, my car boot purchase.

-Yes.

0:32:370:32:40

I paid £12 and it's estimated at ten to 15.

0:32:400:32:44

Hopefully you'll get a bit of profit. Good luck with it, mate.

0:32:440:32:47

Lot number 42 is the backgammon set for you there.

0:32:470:32:51

-Will you bid £10 for it?

-£10. Go on!

0:32:510:32:53

£10 for a backgammon set.

0:32:530:32:55

It's gone silent. Come on.

0:32:550:32:57

-£10.

-Yes!

-£10 at ten. Any advance on £10?

0:32:580:33:02

It's in the middle of the room at ten.

0:33:020:33:04

Anyone online?

0:33:040:33:06

-15 online.

-15 online.

-Yes, profit!

0:33:060:33:08

-15, it's online at 15.

-Come on!

0:33:080:33:10

Selling to the online bidder at £15. Any more?

0:33:100:33:14

At £15, last chance on this one at £15.

0:33:140:33:17

BANGS GAVEL

0:33:190:33:20

It's not a good start as David makes a loss of £3 after auction costs.

0:33:200:33:26

-Not a very auspicious start.

-No, good luck to you.

0:33:260:33:28

-I'd take my money back on all my items now.

-Would you?

0:33:280:33:31

-Yeah, I would.

-Then go home.

-Go home.

0:33:310:33:33

All right, let's do that. Let's see if we can do it.

0:33:330:33:35

-Pull them out.

-Good luck.

0:33:350:33:37

It's too late to back out now, boys.

0:33:370:33:39

It's Paul's Chinese incense burners next.

0:33:390:33:42

Paul paid £168 at the auction in Wotton-under-Edge

0:33:420:33:45

but will they deliver the sweet scent of profit?

0:33:450:33:49

They cost me 168 quid. And the auctioneer has put 50 to 80 on them.

0:33:490:33:53

OK, on to 130. Incense clock. I've got interest here at £50. Take five.

0:33:530:33:58

£50 we are in.

0:33:580:33:59

-It's 55. 60. 65. 70. 75. 80. 85.

-Go on!

0:33:590:34:03

95. 100. 110. Any more now? 130. Still with me.

0:34:030:34:07

Come on, Paul. You deserve this. Seriously.

0:34:070:34:09

140. 150 still with me. At 150. Still with my bid at 150.

0:34:090:34:13

-He's on 150.

-Here we go.

0:34:130:34:15

180. 190. At 190. Still going 190. Any more?

0:34:150:34:21

With my bidder at 190, if you're all done.

0:34:210:34:23

BANGS GAVEL They've gone.

0:34:230:34:25

Well done. Seriously, well done.

0:34:250:34:26

Paul's relieved.

0:34:260:34:28

But, although they might have sold for more than he bought them, once

0:34:280:34:31

auction commission is taken Mr Hayes ends up with a small loss of £6.50.

0:34:310:34:36

Sticking with the Oriental theme, next up is Paul's mighty risk -

0:34:360:34:40

the Chinese statue he bought in France for £299.15.

0:34:400:34:45

I must admit, this is probably my favourite lot.

0:34:450:34:47

But it's also the one that I put most of my money in.

0:34:470:34:50

-I paid roughly £300 for this.

-It was a good buy.

0:34:500:34:54

142. Chinese carved gilt wood red lacquer figure of a crowned deity.

0:34:540:34:59

I've got 100 in one place. Take care. 110. 120. 130.

0:34:590:35:03

120. 130. 140. 150. 160. 170. 180 with me. 180.

0:35:030:35:08

-Come on!

-Keep going.

0:35:080:35:09

-Any advance on a £180? 190. 200 still here. 220 still going.

-Go on!

0:35:090:35:15

-230. 240.

-It can still go. He's trying his best.

0:35:150:35:19

It's getting better.

0:35:190:35:20

260. 270. 280 bid.

0:35:200:35:22

The price goes up and up.

0:35:220:35:24

Come on, come on, come on!

0:35:240:35:25

Any more at 280? 90. 300 bid. At 300. Take 20 next.

0:35:250:35:29

You're going to do it. Come on.

0:35:290:35:31

-£300. 20.

-Yes!

-320.

0:35:310:35:34

-Still going. 360.

-360.

0:35:340:35:37

You're into profit. You're into profit.

0:35:370:35:39

At 380.

0:35:390:35:40

420.

0:35:400:35:42

Oh, mate.

0:35:420:35:43

-Any advance on 420? 460 bid.

-Get in there!

0:35:430:35:47

It's still going!

0:35:470:35:49

460. 80. 500.

0:35:490:35:50

500!

0:35:500:35:52

-20. 520.

-Come on, David.

0:35:520:35:54

540. 560 bid. 80. 600.

0:35:540:35:57

At £600. Take 20.

0:35:570:35:58

-Come on!

-Oh, matey.

0:35:580:36:01

-20's online and I'm out. At 620. Online at 620.

-Come on!

-Come on.

0:36:010:36:05

Last chance at 620.

0:36:050:36:07

BANGS GAVEL

0:36:080:36:09

Top man. Well done.

0:36:090:36:12

It's a fantastic result for the man from Morecambe

0:36:120:36:15

as he makes a mammoth profit of £227.85.

0:36:150:36:19

Now its David's turn for some eastern promise as his

0:36:200:36:23

lacquered jardiniere is up next.

0:36:230:36:25

He paid £210 for it, but will it do as well as Paul's statue?

0:36:250:36:29

You know, your figure would look pretty good on my stand.

0:36:300:36:33

Wouldn't it?

0:36:330:36:34

150 is a Chinese black lacquer and gilt decorated jardiniere stand.

0:36:340:36:38

£100 for a jardiniere stand. £100.

0:36:380:36:41

He's got no bids.

0:36:410:36:42

Who is going to start me at £100? In the room, online, wherever you like.

0:36:420:36:45

-£100.

-Come on.

0:36:450:36:47

80 then. 80.

0:36:480:36:49

HE GASPS No!

0:36:490:36:50

Uh-oh, the price is tumbling down.

0:36:500:36:52

£50. It's worth £50 of anyone's money. Surely £50.

0:36:520:36:55

It's got no bids on it.

0:36:550:36:57

What's the matter with this one? 50's online. At £50. Five in the room.

0:36:570:37:00

55. I'll take 60. Here we are at 55.

0:37:000:37:03

No!

0:37:030:37:04

BANGS GAVEL

0:37:050:37:07

-What happened there?

-I've no idea.

0:37:070:37:10

Oh, disaster.

0:37:100:37:12

David's table makes a devastating loss of £163.25,

0:37:120:37:16

sending the Devilish one reeling.

0:37:160:37:19

He's had his confidence seriously knocked

0:37:190:37:22

and he isn't feeling positive that the 1980s wall clock,

0:37:220:37:25

that cost him £132, will help recoup his losses.

0:37:250:37:29

This is proving not to be a very good day out for me.

0:37:300:37:33

I think it's the battle of the clocks now.

0:37:330:37:35

I've got a clock left and you've got a...a rather big watch.

0:37:350:37:39

-£50 on the maxi wall clock.

-50 quid, come on!

0:37:390:37:42

30.

0:37:420:37:44

Oh no! Come on.

0:37:440:37:46

35. At £30.

0:37:460:37:48

Oh, this is not a good day out for me.

0:37:480:37:50

-What terrible thing to happen.

-This is not a good day out.

0:37:500:37:53

It's terrible.

0:37:530:37:54

All done at 30.

0:37:540:37:56

-That's a very big loss.

-I'm really sorry. That is a surprise, actually.

0:37:560:37:59

I thought there'd be lots of people...oh, hey up!

0:37:590:38:02

35 on the hammer. 40 bed. At £40. Any more at £40?

0:38:020:38:06

-That is it.

-£40. Good for him. Thank you.

0:38:080:38:11

He did try.

0:38:110:38:13

A loss of £98 for the clock

0:38:130:38:16

leaves David wishing he could turn back time.

0:38:160:38:19

There you go. You can't believe this is how I make my living.

0:38:190:38:22

Don't be so hard on yourself, David.

0:38:220:38:24

Anyway, it's Paul's timepiece next,

0:38:240:38:26

the 19th century French grandfather clock that cost him £153.85.

0:38:260:38:31

Well, the battle of the clocks, Paul.

0:38:310:38:34

You don't have very much to do to thrash mine.

0:38:340:38:37

Lot 260. French long case clock. I've got 100 bid. Take ten.

0:38:370:38:42

It's cheap at 100. Where's the ten?

0:38:420:38:43

100 quid. You can't believe it, can you?

0:38:430:38:46

Ten online. 120. 120 my bidder.

0:38:460:38:48

-That's cheap.

-Cheap enough at 120.

0:38:480:38:51

130. 140. Still with me at 140. At 140. At 140. Is there 150?

0:38:510:38:57

160.

0:38:570:38:58

Come on!

0:38:580:38:59

At £160.

0:38:590:39:01

BANGS GAVEL

0:39:010:39:02

-Oh, that's gone.

-160. D'you know what?

0:39:020:39:05

I'd love to swap positions with you. I'd love that loss.

0:39:050:39:08

I'd be so happy to have that loss.

0:39:080:39:10

Yes, it's tough times when you're envious

0:39:100:39:12

of your opponent's £17.85 loss!

0:39:120:39:16

Our duelling duo each have one item to go.

0:39:160:39:19

And first up is Paul's Minton dinner service.

0:39:190:39:22

-I paid 120. The estimate is 40 to 60.

-It's a hard estimate.

0:39:220:39:26

I could really lose my trousers.

0:39:260:39:28

Let's hope the price goes up and Paul's trousers don't go down.

0:39:280:39:32

Next up, lot 300 is a Minton six setting dinner service.

0:39:320:39:35

Turquoise and gilt border.

0:39:350:39:36

Here we go.

0:39:360:39:37

£40. 40's bid online. Take five.

0:39:370:39:39

40's in.

0:39:390:39:41

At 45 in the room. £45. In the room here 50. And five. 60.

0:39:410:39:47

Worth every penny.

0:39:470:39:49

55 this side. 55. I'll take 60. At £55. 60 online.

0:39:490:39:54

-60.

-65. Any more now?

0:39:540:39:57

-They are cheap.

-£65.

-Really cheap.

0:39:570:39:59

-There you go.

-That's life, isn't it?

0:40:010:40:03

They are very good value for money for somebody.

0:40:030:40:05

-I think so, yes.

-I think your trousers are off, don't you?

0:40:050:40:07

No, thankfully, the trousers stay on.

0:40:070:40:10

But Paul is served up a £64.75 loss on the dinner service.

0:40:100:40:15

David's final item is the art deco perfume bottle

0:40:150:40:18

he picked up from the French market for £42.74,

0:40:180:40:21

but will it make him his first profit of the auction?

0:40:210:40:25

-I needed to sell for around 360 just to claw back my losses.

-OK.

0:40:250:40:31

All done at £20.

0:40:310:40:33

THEY GROAN

0:40:330:40:35

Forget about perfume, I think you need some smelling salts.

0:40:350:40:38

Alas, the perfume bottle fails to take off and made a loss of £28.74.

0:40:380:40:44

All our experts' lots have now been sold

0:40:440:40:47

and there's nothing more they can do.

0:40:470:40:49

The question is, who will be the overall victor?

0:40:490:40:52

Our rummaging rivals each started out with £1,000

0:40:520:40:55

of their own money to spend.

0:40:550:40:58

'Devilish' David Harper's Showdown buys cost him a total of £695.02.

0:40:580:41:04

While Paul 'Mr Morecambe' Hayes spent nearly all his money,

0:41:040:41:08

parting with £987.

0:41:080:41:11

But the only thing that matters now is who's made the biggest profit.

0:41:110:41:15

All the money that David and Paul have made today will be going

0:41:150:41:19

to charities of their choice, so without further ado,

0:41:190:41:22

it's time to find out who is today's

0:41:220:41:25

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.

0:41:250:41:28

-Now then, David, how are you?

-Not well. I'm not a well man, Paul.

0:41:280:41:33

That's the way it pans out though, isn't it.

0:41:330:41:35

I take it you're on about the auction?

0:41:350:41:37

I certainly am on about the auction. That was a disaster.

0:41:370:41:42

-It was a little bit.

-Time after time after time. And my Chinese table.

0:41:420:41:45

I know, can't believe that.

0:41:450:41:46

No two auctions are the same and I must admit,

0:41:460:41:48

the auction did me a big favour.

0:41:480:41:50

The star item has to be that Chinese figure, doesn't it?

0:41:500:41:52

-Absolutely.

-What a cracker that was.

-Well chosen. Yes.

0:41:520:41:55

Seriously, the best thing for me throughout the whole week was that.

0:41:550:41:59

There's no doubt about it.

0:41:590:42:00

Don't forget, you may have done badly on the auction,

0:42:000:42:03

but I'm sure you've done well on the things away from the auction. Ready?

0:42:030:42:06

Three, two, one.

0:42:060:42:08

BOTH: Whoa!

0:42:080:42:09

-That's a good one.

-That's all right, isn't it.

-That's a bad one.

0:42:090:42:13

-Isn't it bad?

-Shocker, yeah.

-It's a shocker.

0:42:130:42:15

So Paul is today's Showdown winner but there's more to reveal.

0:42:150:42:19

Our experts have been building up their profit pots over a week

0:42:190:42:23

of challenges so now it's time to reveal who is our overall winner.

0:42:230:42:27

-OK, you ready?

-Three, two, one.

0:42:270:42:30

Oh, yes, David, there you go. Well done.

0:42:300:42:33

I'm delighted. It's been absolutely delightful working with you.

0:42:330:42:36

It's been a pleasure working with you.

0:42:360:42:38

It has been marvellous, thank you.

0:42:380:42:39

Come on, let's go and discuss what happens to Chinese things.

0:42:390:42:43

So a gracious Paul concedes victory to David.

0:42:430:42:47

Both our duelling dealers have made fantastic profits

0:42:470:42:50

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

0:42:500:42:53

My chosen charity is St Theresa's Hospice in Darlington,

0:42:550:42:59

caring for terminally ill patients in the south-west of Durham

0:42:590:43:02

and North Yorkshire.

0:43:020:43:03

My chosen charity is the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

0:43:030:43:06

I lost a very good friend of mine,

0:43:060:43:08

who was instrumental in teaching me the antique business, and I'm

0:43:080:43:12

delighted that such a large amount of money is going to go to them.

0:43:120:43:15

So, after a week of all-out action and hard fought close combat,

0:43:150:43:20

David and Paul have both put their money where their mouths are

0:43:200:43:23

and proved that they can make big profits from antiques

0:43:230:43:26

when their own money is on the line.
