Getting there. SINISTER LAUGHTER | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
Today, two master dealers go head-to-head | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
in the greatest challenge an antiques expert can face. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
Lean, mean profit machine Jonty Hearnden | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
takes on the fairest of the fair, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
auctioneer extraordinaire Christina Trevanion, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
in the brutal Showdown. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
Coming up, Jonty shares his expert knowledge. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
When you are cleaning silver, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
make sure you do it as infrequently as possible. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
Over time, you rub away the detail and rub away the hallmarks, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
which ultimately devalues the object. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
Christina gets very excited. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
Yeah! Yeah! | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
No! | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
And our experts face the trauma of the Showdown auction. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
-HE GROANS -Oh, what a shame. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Fasten your seat belts and put your chairs in the upright position | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
because one of the greatest battles on television | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
is about to begin. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:50 | |
Two purchasing powerhouses are on the verge of attempting | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
the champion of challenges. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
They will be thrown into the antiques amphitheatre | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
where they must buy and sell | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
on a scale that surpasses all that has gone before. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
First up, a man with a thirst for thrift. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
He devours discounts and deals in a heartbeat. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
Always on target, he never misses out, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
and his warm character and winning smile | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
can fool even the hardiest of hagglers. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
Representing Oxfordshire, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:18 | |
it's the indomitable Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
Let's see what happens. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
Facing up to him, a woman with a hunger for danger. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
A raucous risk-taker, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
she'll try anything to claw her way to the top. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
Her innate sense of what's hot and what's not | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
means she's streets ahead in the style stakes. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
Flying in from Shropshire, | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
it's the invincible Christina "The Magpie" Trevanion. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
I have always worked well under pressure. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
So watch out, Jonty Hearnden. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
Hmm. No ruffled feathers there. Completely calm. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
Now, our gruesome twosome have £1,000 of their own money to spend, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
and they'll be trekking through their traditional target locations - | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
an antiques fair, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
an auction | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
a car boot sale | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
and a foreign market. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
So there'll be punches flying in all directions. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Once they've hounded down their hauls, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
they must sell everything on for maximum profit, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
all of which goes to their chosen charities. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
So, Jonty Hearnden and Christina Trevanion, | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
your lives up to now have been leading you to this point. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
It's time to put your money where your mouth is. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
-Hello. -Christina. How are you? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
-Very well. How are you? -Excellent. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
-Good. -You excited? -I am. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
-Shall we read the rules? -OK. Here we go. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
"Welcome to the mighty showdown. The rules are simple. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
"You must each buy two items at every one | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
"of your regular Put Your Money challenges. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
-"You have £1,000 to spend." -£1,000! | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
"You can sell up to four items wherever you want to | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
"and the rest will be sold at an auction. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
"The winner is the dealer who makes the most profit." | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
And it says, "Good luck." | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
So what's your tactics? | 0:04:01 | 0:04:02 | |
It's that sort of delicate balance, isn't it, | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
between auction and private buys. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
Are you going to save the best for the auction? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
I don't know. I haven't thought about that yet. Have you? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
Got something up my sleeve. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
Oh, blimey, the man with tactics. I like it. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
SHE LAUGHS See you later. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
-See you later. Good luck. -And to you. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:18 | |
Mmm. More on that in a minute, no doubt. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
We race headlong into round one, the antiques fair. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
Our daring duo will sprint through the stalls | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
They must each find two prize purchases here. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
So has The Hitman's hint about his secret plan | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
got Christina running scared? | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
Jonty keeps telling me he's got these secret tactics. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
I think he might be full of bluster. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
I think there's so much here to go at. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:44 | |
Let's just go quirky, let's go wacky, let's go completely all-out. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
Mmm! She's giving it all she's got. So, come on, Jonty, spill the beans. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:53 | |
Do you want to know my secret weapon? | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
I have none. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
Ah, so Christina was right. The Hitman is full of hot air. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
But it has spurred the Magpie on to throw caution to the wind. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
So maybe it was an ill thought through tactic on Jonty's part. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
However, he is the first to see something he likes. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
He's spotted an artist's set. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
I really like this but my job is to resell it. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-Yes. -And at £95, I'm nowhere near. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
So you're gonna have to really tempt me. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
-65. -Will you do 50? | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-Go on. -Thank you very much indeed. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
Yes, he's straight in there, and gets the box for almost half-price. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
Now, this box really does look like it has never been used | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
by any artist at all. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:37 | |
The reason why I really do like this is | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
because it is in such mint condition. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
Because it's not in a mahogany case, and this is in a tin case, | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
this makes this more likely to be early 20th century rather | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
than 19th century. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:51 | |
I know I'm in for a profit. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
Seems like Jonty's got this buying task down to a fine art | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
and it's not long before he catches sight of something else. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
What's your best price, then, sir? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
I can let you have it for 40. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:04 | |
-Can I have it for 30? -Meet me in the middle, 35. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
-35. -OK. -Thank you very much, sir. -Thank you. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
And that's another nifty negotiation. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
He's done and dusted in Malvern as quick as a wink. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
Now, I'm really pleased with this investment here. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
It's a lovely sign. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
Now, a lot of reproductions were made 20, 30 years ago. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
But I know this is the genuine article, | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
simply because there's actually too much wear, too much damage on it. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
It has the right weight and also you can see clearly that it's enamelled | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
on the top of the metal base, so therefore it has to be 1930s, 1940s. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:42 | |
So perhaps this is a sign that things are going my way. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
Well, let's not count those chickens just yet, eh? | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
So, Christina's playing catch-up, but not for long. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
Our Magpie soon spots something shiny and makes her first purchase - | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
an Art Deco brooch for £50. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
I am such a sucker for anything that glitters, I really am. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
And look at this! Look how sparkly it is. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
This is a bobby dazzler of a piece of costume jewellery. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
By its very nature, it was cheaply made, costume jewellery, | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
but this has had some serious work put into it. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
You can tell by the way that the stones are set. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
They're all channel set individually around the edge of this brooch. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
The way that the silverwork is pierced. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:18 | |
Yeah, OK, it's not diamonds. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
It is only paste, which is effectively glass, | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
but it's a beautiful piece of Art Deco jewellery. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
Oh, she loves a bit of sparkle, and she soon finds her second purchase | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
and it's also rather shiny. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
She pays £8 for a figure of a rugby player. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
I saw this earlier and I've come back for it | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
just because I think it's a really effective looking piece. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
It looks very silver, or even pewter, from a distance. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
And when you actually get slightly closer up, | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
you realise that it is probably just a painted plaster figure. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
And can you imagine if I sold this to a rugby club, | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
can you imagine winning this as a player of the year | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
and going home with it? I think it's quite fun. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
So, will Christina's figure help kick Jonty into touch | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
or will he convert his investments into greater profits? | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
Who can possibly know? | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
Before we change location, though, | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
let's take a look at the early figures. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
Both our dealers arrived in Malvern with a Showdown budget of £1,000. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
Jonty has so far spent £85, | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
leaving him a wallet-busting £915 for the rest of the challenge. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
Christina has spent even less, just £58 so far. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:27 | |
That means there's £942 left in her kitty. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
Our bargain busters are lining up | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
to lock horns at round two, the auction. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
Their battlefield is the Reeman Dansie saleroom in Colchester. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
There's a lot of expensive items on offer here | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
so how high are our hellbent handraisers prepared to bid? | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
I need to spend a bit of money now | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
because I haven't really invested too much so far. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
Yes, he's in the mood to flash his cash, but will he be outbid? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
This is Christina's territory, after all. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
As an auctioneer myself, | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
it is brilliant to come and experience other salerooms | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
and see all the different ways that people do things, | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
although it is very alien to me to be sitting this side of the rostrum | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
and keeping quiet. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
Yes, she knows how to read the room | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
and pounce when a lot is going cheap. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
But once again, it's Jonty who jumps in first. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
He likes the look of an Edwardian christening set. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
90. Five. 100. 110. 120. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
No, 120 gentleman's bid now. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
-Sold, then, at 120. -HE BANGS GAVEL | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
Add in the auction fees and Jonty pays £145.20. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
This is an original box and it's typical form. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
It's an Edwardian box. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:38 | |
Now, if you look at the outside, it's pressed paper | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
to make it look as if it is a natural skin. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
So we've got a little knife and fork and spoon set, | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
and they are small in size simply | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
'cause they're designed as christening presents. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
When you are cleaning silver, | 0:09:54 | 0:09:55 | |
make sure you do it as infrequently as possible | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
'cause the problem with silver is you can overclean, | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
which means, therefore, over time you rub away the detail | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
and you rub away the hallmarks, | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
which ultimately devalues the object. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
So this is how I like to buy my silver at auction - filthy dirty. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
Well, sounds like his dirty deal will garner a good clean profit. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
And before Christina even gets a look-in, Jonty strikes again. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
His next bid is for an early 20th-century claret jug. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
-Selling. -HE BANGS GAVEL | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
So, that's his second auction item. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
The jug costs him £133.10 with fees. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
It's a beautiful object. It's in the style of Christopher Dresser. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
Now, unfortunately this is not by him | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
but it's in the style of Christopher Dresser, | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
and that's the reason why I bought it, | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
because it was just so simple. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
Now, the top here looks silver. It's not. It's silver plated. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
It's called a claret jug simply | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
because one would decant claret into it. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
It's a lovely, beautiful, decorative object. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
While Jonty can sit back and relax, what of our trusty Magpie? | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
Well, ever the risk-taker, | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
when our bargain bird spots a cage, she can't resist making it cheap. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
-40. £40 for the cage. -20? | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
Take 20 bid. The lady's bid now 20. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
24. 26. At 26. 26. 28. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:18 | |
At 28. Over to me then, lady's bid at £28. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
HE BANGS GAVEL | 0:11:21 | 0:11:22 | |
Even though the cage is tiny, | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
the Magpie flaps her wings and takes off. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
Including commission, she pays £33.88. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
I bought this little linnet bird's cage. It's so of its time. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
We wouldn't dream now of putting a bird | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
in a tiny, weeny little cage like that, | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
but at the time it was fashionable. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:39 | |
It's a 19th-century example. It's quite naive. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
What is really quite nice | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
is that it still has its little glass feeder in there. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
I think it's really rather lovely and rustic. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
Well, Christina's halfway there with her auction haul. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
The next lot she's got her beady eye on | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
is a mother of pearl etui case. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
Lady's bid in the room now at 75. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:58 | |
80 online. New bidder. At £80. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
90. At 90. 95. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
-In the room seated then at 95. -HE BANGS GAVEL | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
She does the business - £114.96 with fees. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
I bought this mother of pearl and silver etui case. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
It would have been for a lady's little sewing kit. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
Yes, OK, it has seen better days | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
but I think I'd probably be a little bit worn | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
if I was nearly 300 years old. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
I'm going to have to find somebody who loves this with a passion | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
and doesn't really mind its bumps and missing bits. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
But I'm sure there'll be somebody out there who loves it just as much as me. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
Will the damage be Christina's downfall? We'll find out later. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
For now we must bid farewell to the saleroom | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
and see what all that's done to the figures. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
Both our experts started out with £1,000 of their own money. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:48 | |
Jonty ramped up his spending in Colchester, | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
£363.30 at this halfway stage. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
He's now got £636.70 for the remaining rounds. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
Christina has spent a fair bit less. £206.84, | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
leaving her £793.16 to play with. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
Christina might struggle to spend all that | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
as we roll into round three, the car boot. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
Their haggle hunt takes them to the giant sale at Marks Tey in Essex. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:18 | |
And Jonty is feeling bold. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
I'm determined to find two gems, though, today. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
The cost I don't really mind as long as I know | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
I can make a big profit on them. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:27 | |
Oh, the suspense. Show us the colour of your money, honey. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
He first heads to the edge of the field | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
right next to the busy dual carriageway. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
While the noise is enough to turn you Mutt and Jeff, | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
he's more interested in the dog and bones. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
-So how much is this one? -I'll do 55 on that one. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
55. And 55 on that one. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
-Well, what would you do for the two? -100 for the two. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
-Will you do 80? -No. £95 I'll do. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
-95. -Good on you. 95. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
Well, he said he wanted to spend big here and he's certainly done it. | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
But will The Hitman's phones ring in a profit? | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
I bought two 'cause I thought that if I could sell two to the same dealer, | 0:14:03 | 0:14:09 | |
I could literally double my profits. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
They're very similar and, datewise, they're both from the early 1950s. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:16 | |
This one is fantastic because it has a little tray at the bottom here | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
and originally this would be designed to store your favourite numbers. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:24 | |
And the other reason why I purchased these as well | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
is because the gentleman I bought them from insists that they work. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:31 | |
Jonty's straight back on the hunt looking for something else to blow | 0:14:31 | 0:14:35 | |
a wad of cash on. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:36 | |
Will these lamps light up a deal? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
-What's your best on them? -Oh, here we go. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
-60. -I'll buy them for 40. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
No. Not interested. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
55 and that's my last and last offer. That's it, really. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
-50 quid. -He's reducing me to tears, you know. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
-Go on, darling. Do a deal. -I don't know what to say. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
Do a deal else we'll have to take them home. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
-50 quid. All right? -Oh, I suppose so. -Perfect. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
Just as well that gentleman's wife got involved. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
Without her, the deal might not have been struck. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
Now, there's an awful lot of work to be done on this pair of lamps. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
The glass needs to be fixed, | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
the actual metalwork needs to be fixed. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
But somebody somewhere will turn these into a beautiful, | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
handsome pair of lights, | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
and I should be able to make a handsome profit on them too. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
So, Jonty lugs away the lamps and, once again, | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
he's got his two items before Christina's even had half a haggle. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
Has she been snookered? | 0:15:29 | 0:15:31 | |
What's your best price on a general load of stuff? | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
Would you throw in these? | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
-MAN: -The whole lot? 25. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
What about 15? | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
15 and you buy me a cup of tea, | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
'cause I ain't been able to leave this all day. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
-That's a deal. -That sounds like a deal to me. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
-We've got a deal? -£15. -Excellent. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
And a cup of tea. How much is a cup of tea? | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
-I don't know. About £5. -No! | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
And right on cue, Christina goes straight to the refreshment trailer. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
The cuppa actually costs just £1, | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
so in total, the whole snooker assortment cost £16. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:06 | |
There we go, my love, as promised. Cup of tea. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
-You are a gem. -Milk. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
And she soon sorts out her other purchase. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
She pays £40 for something that gives her a bit of a buzz. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
This might look like a beehive, | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
and you could be mistaken for thinking it was one, but actually it isn't. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
It's been made to look like a beehive. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
It's probably just a storage compartment. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
I hate to use the word but it is shabby chic. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:30 | |
People tend to bandy around the term shabby chic these days. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
It is used very, very loosely to kind of cover up quite a lot of, | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
shall we say, defects. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
So do make sure that | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
if you are buying something that has been shabby chic'd, | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
that it is actually structurally sound. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
Well, as you'd expect, Christina's box is structurally sound. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
So our two brave bargainers now have six items each. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
Let's tot up their tallies so far. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
Both our dealers started out with £1,000 of their own money. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
Jonty The Hitman has forked out a total of £508.30, | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
leaving £491.70 in his kitty. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
Christina The Magpie has spent £262.84, including that cup of tea, | 0:17:09 | 0:17:15 | |
meaning she launches into round four | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
with an enormous £737.16 left to spend. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
The time has come for the final chapter in our tumultuous | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
tale of two traders. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
It's the foreign market. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:29 | |
Jonty and Christina have converted | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
their last remaining pounds into euros | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
and travelled to the Porte de Vanves flea market in Paris | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
for a feast of French fancies. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
And The Hitman is going grande. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
So I need to find something really chunky, really impressive, | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
so I really, really need to concentrate. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
Oh, yes, full focus required here, | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
none more so than for Christina, who's feeling nervy. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
You know when you were at school | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
and you left all your homework very much to the last minute, | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
that's how I'm feeling slightly about the Showdown at the moment | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
in that I haven't really spent a lot of money so I have got quite a lot of work to do. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
Well, she gets right down to business | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
and for once it's Christina who spots a potential purchase first. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
I like that. I like that. What could you do? | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
Last price is 180. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
-130. -180 is the best price. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
-150. -170. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
-160 and it's a deal. -It's good, it's good. -Yay! | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
She said she had a lot to spend here and that mirror certainly helps. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
Once the cost is converted back into sterling, | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
The Magpie pays £145.45. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
I've just bought this Art Deco coat hook, mirror and hallstand. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
For me, the fact that it is in this wonderful Art Deco style, | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
I'm fairly sure it is a genuine Art Deco piece, | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
is what's really going to sell it for me. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
I'm sort of thinking at the moment I might put it into the auction | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
because I think with international exposure it could do really well. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
Yes, Christina Trevanion there, sharp at the Showdown. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
And before she leaves that stall, something else catches her eye. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:02 | |
It looks like a projector. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
-How much did you put on this? -400. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
370 I would pay. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
Otherwise I walk away. I'm going. I'm going. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
-370. Yes. -Yay! | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
Yes, she's beaten him down. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
Christina pays the equivalent of £336.36, | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
far and away the most expensive purchase of the day so far. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
I had quite a lot of my Showdown money left to spend | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
and I've just spent 370 euros on this tripod and projector. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:32 | |
The tripod itself is really well made | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
with chamfered legs and lovely sort of brass fittings on it, | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
so it's really beautiful. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:38 | |
Just...there's something about it that just appeals to me. I think it's really quite cool. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
Yes, and talking of things that are cool, | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
Jonty is stepping on The Magpie's territory. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
He's spotted a very shiny tea set. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
What is your best price? | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
Er, best price? 150. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
-130 for me? -OK. -OK? | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
-All right. -Merci. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
Well, that was nice and easy. The tea set costs The Hitman £118.18. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:05 | |
You come to Paris and you expect to buy French Art Deco. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
But I bought some English Art Deco - it's quite extraordinary - | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
from Liberty's London. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:14 | |
And the quality is just superb. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
Now, the tray is not from Liberty's | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
and you can really see the difference. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
The quality in this tea service is really quite superb. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
It's time to celebrate. So is it time for tea? | 0:20:24 | 0:20:29 | |
Champagne. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
Yes, I think he's trying to say Champagne with a French accent. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
But there's nothing to celebrate just yet, | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
although Jonty soon finds his very last purchase. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
Now, look what I've bought. Not the dog. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
But a pair of beautiful bedside cabinets. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
These have a 19th-century feel but they're not 19th century. They're probably postwar. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:52 | |
I have purchased these for 80 euros, so this is a great investment. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:57 | |
Now, you look after these and don't let Christina get anywhere near them. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:03 | |
Not your average guard dog, is he? | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
But Jonty ends with his favourite - furniture. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
The cabinets cost £72.73. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
So, there we go - the Showdown spendathon is over. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
Eight items each, so let's find out the final figures. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:19 | |
Jonty and Christina each started the Showdown | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
with £1,000 of their own money. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
Jonty race ahead at every point and has parted with £699.21. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:30 | |
Christina spent big in France and changed the face of her game. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
She ran up a total bill of £744.65. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
So before they return home, let's see how they think it's all gone. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
-How was the buying for you? -Good today, yeah. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
-I mean, yeah, really enjoyed it. -What was your favourite item? | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
Do you remember that rugby figure I bought? It was £8. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
Really, really inexpensive and I just think it's great fun. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
How about you? | 0:21:55 | 0:21:56 | |
Well, I think I might well have saved the best till last | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
because I bought here today | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
a really good quality Art Deco tea service by Liberty's. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:06 | |
Oh, wow! Oh, my goodness. That sounds pretty exciting. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
-It is. I'm really pleased with it. -Oh, God, I'm jealous now. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
Oh, very nervous. It'll be fine. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
So the bargains have been bought, but that's just the start | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
of today's ultimate challenge for glory. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
As Jonty and Christina return to Blighty, | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
their masterful minds turn to selling, | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
and specifically offloading their haul for maximum profit. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
But the showdown has a twist - the auction. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
At least four of their purchases must go under the hammer, | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
and at that point, our excellent experts lose all control | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
over their prices. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:42 | |
They're in the hands of an auctioneer. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
They could see their profits soar or they could lose everything. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
So, back at their bases, our daring duo must choose carefully. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
What will sell best at auction | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
and what will go for maximum money elsewhere? | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
In Oxfordshire, Jonty is surveying his haggling harvest. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
Looking in front of me, I'm very, very impressed. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
There's a reason why I bought the pair of telephones, 'cause they were cheap. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
So I've got to find a buyer that's interested in buying the pair. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:11 | |
And I've got my art box set. It's absolutely in pristine condition. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:15 | |
My turn-of-the-century, maybe late Victorian claret jug. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:19 | |
Really good quality. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:20 | |
And I have to say, I am so impressed with my silvered tea set. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:25 | |
Pair of lights, 50 quid, great buy. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:27 | |
Pair of bedside tables cost me only 80 euros. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:31 | |
Now, to the right person they're worth | 0:23:31 | 0:23:32 | |
an awful lot more money than that. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
The enamel sign, it's a great piece. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
Somebody's going to bite my hand off for that. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
And I've got my Edwardian christening set, really good quality. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:43 | |
Now, four of these purchases have got to go to the auction sale, | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
and at the moment, I'm just not sure which one they're going to be. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
So, no clear plan yet and that could scupper him. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
In Shropshire, Christina has gathered together | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
all her Showdown showstoppers along with her dog Wellie. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:59 | |
So what's she thinking? | 0:23:59 | 0:24:00 | |
So, this is what I've got lined up for the mighty Showdown. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
This is my favourite piece, probably my Achilles heel. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
I just love it. I need to do a bit more research on it. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
But I think that could be a bit of a jewel in the crown. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
This lovely little rugby statue | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
I would like to see going back to a rugby club. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
And we've also got my pool equipment. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
Hopefully we'll make a few pennies on that. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
And then, of course, this beehive which isn't actually a beehive. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
It's probably more of a storage container. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
And then taking to auction, | 0:24:27 | 0:24:28 | |
we've got a little 19th century or possibly slightly earlier | 0:24:28 | 0:24:32 | |
linnet or bird cage. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
Then we've got the mother of pearl and silver banded etui here, | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
or needlework case. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
Then we've got this really rather beautiful costume jewellery brooch | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
here, very Art Deco. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
And continuing that Art Deco theme, | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
we've got the wonderful hall mirror shelf and hooks on there. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
I've got all my soldiers lined up and I'm ready to do battle. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
Let's see who'll win. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:55 | |
Well, it's quite an arsenal, Christina. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
And with her auction items already earmarked, | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
The Magpie is a step ahead. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
So it's noses to the grindstones as our experts get to work | 0:25:02 | 0:25:06 | |
tracking down their best private buyers. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
And remember, until they've shaken on it and the money's changed hands, | 0:25:09 | 0:25:12 | |
no deal is ever sealed. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
And it's Jonty who's first out of the traps. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
He hopes he's found the perfect buyer for the claret jug that | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
owes him just over £133. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
Chris imports wines and spirits and they meet at a local vineyard. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:27 | |
-Look at that. -That's fabulous, isn't it? | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
I was really taken by its shape and also its simplicity, | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
even though it's over 100 years old, | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
and it's in really perfect condition as well. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:36 | |
Now, what I was also struck by is the actual shape of the handle. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:40 | |
That's Victorian. So, do you like it? | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
I do. I love it. Yeah, I've got a place for it already. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
-It's 250 quid. -Ooh, come on, Jonty. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
I'm...sort of more sort of 140, 150 mark. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
225, something like that, I'm quite happy to make a deal. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
If I went to 175, and then you end up somewhere between the two of us. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:59 | |
195 and it's yours. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
Brilliant. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:03 | |
Mmm, Jonty took quite a hit on the price there | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
but he still makes a decent profit - £61.90. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
Well, it's gonna be a great year for the vineyard | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
and another great profit for me. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
Divine! | 0:26:14 | 0:26:15 | |
So, The Hitman's off and running, but Christina won't be outplayed. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:19 | |
She's staying on home turf as well, and she's hoping to score. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
I'm here at my local rugby club in Whitchurch, | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
and I brought this rugby figure here with a rugby club in mind. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
I only paid £8 for him and I think he would make the perfect addition | 0:26:28 | 0:26:32 | |
to somebody's trophy cabinet. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
Let's hope they play ball. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:35 | |
So, will the club's coach Louis like the statue | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
as much as Christina does? | 0:26:38 | 0:26:39 | |
She paid £8 for it. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
I bought this rugby figure | 0:26:42 | 0:26:43 | |
and I thought it would be perfect to sell it on to a rugby club. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
Well, funnily enough, we've actually broken our tall trophy that we have | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
so we are in need of a bit of a trophy. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
Oh, ideal. That sounds perfect. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:55 | |
It's very nice, actually, and, yeah, it looks like a quality piece. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
Well, I was hoping to get somewhere in the region | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
of maybe £40, £50 for it. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
So I was looking probably around the sort of £30 mark, really. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
Are we feeling slightly more generous than £30? | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
Absolute max I could go to is £40. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
I will certainly shake your hand. I know you'd give me a fair price. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
Brilliant. I'm so pleased. Thanks ever so much, Louis. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
I'm so glad it's gonna go to a home where it will be used. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
So, no scrum needed. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:21 | |
Christina crosses the line with a profit of £32, | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
four times what she paid. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
Before you go, we'd like you to come and join us | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
for a little bit of rugby, if that's OK. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
Er, I...I don't play rugby. I'm not...certainly dressed not for rugby. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
Well, we've got a little something here for you. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
A rugby shirt and some shoes to borrow. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
Oh! Lovely. Thank you very much. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
-Oh, my God! -SHE LAUGHS | 0:27:41 | 0:27:45 | |
Go. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
Yay! | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
Yes, not sure the rugby scouts are going to be queuing up | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
to sign Christina. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:56 | |
She has an easy next sale, though. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
The beehive box is bought by her next-door neighbour's daughter. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
-Thank you very much. -That's all right. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
And I hope it provides a nice waterproof home for your wellies. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
She pays £55, which gives Christina a profit of £15. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:13 | |
Jonty also slips in a quick deal. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
He sells his early 20th century paint box to a local artist. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
-95? -Go on, then. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
-It's yours. -Thank you. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:24 | |
She pays £95, which brushes in a profit of £45. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:29 | |
Next up for Christina, she's back on her sporting theme | 0:28:29 | 0:28:33 | |
with her assortment of snooker and pool items. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
She's in the village of Prees, | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
where she knows the sports club is looking to expand its snooker team. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:41 | |
The Magpie paid £16 for all the various pieces of equipment. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:45 | |
So are they what club manager Gary is looking for? | 0:28:45 | 0:28:49 | |
So, Gary, I've brought you all this wonderful | 0:28:49 | 0:28:51 | |
sort of snooker and pool equipment. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
Is it something that you would potentially be interested in? | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
I think we could be interested. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:58 | |
We've had snooker at the club for nine years, but unfortunately, | 0:28:58 | 0:29:02 | |
due to our younger players getting a bit older and going off to university, | 0:29:02 | 0:29:07 | |
the snooker section at the moment has folded. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:09 | |
With this influx of young children and new blood coming in, | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
we're going to try and, hopefully, rebuild the snooker section. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:15 | |
-Oh, fantastic. -And there's a lot of interesting bits and pieces here | 0:29:15 | 0:29:19 | |
that I like the look of. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:21 | |
Cos I was hoping somewhere in the region of maybe £60 or £70. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:25 | |
I think we could go to £60. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
Oh, OK, brilliant. I'd be very happy at that. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:30 | |
-You would? -Yeah, £60. It's a deal. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:32 | |
So, Christina gets a lucky break and pots a very nice profit of £44. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:38 | |
There's not much between our two gladiators | 0:29:38 | 0:29:40 | |
so every deal is crucial at this stage. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:43 | |
Jonty has travelled to Gerrards Cross in Buckinghamshire | 0:29:43 | 0:29:46 | |
to a shop that specialises in French country furniture. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:49 | |
So where better place to try and sell his bedside cabinets? | 0:29:49 | 0:29:53 | |
Jonty paid just under £73 for them. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:56 | |
So, Tamsin, this is my pair of bedside tables | 0:29:56 | 0:29:58 | |
I want you to have a really good look at. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
They're in original state. They're oak. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:02 | |
Yeah, I think to fit in with our shop, | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
they definitely need to be painted, but the shape's perfect. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:08 | |
The style is 19th century but these are not 19th century. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:12 | |
These would be more like sort of 1920s in date. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:15 | |
-Do you like them? -I do like them. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:16 | |
-180 quid to you. -I'd be hoping for more like 140. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:20 | |
-What about 160? -145? | 0:30:20 | 0:30:23 | |
-What about 155? -I'll do 150. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:27 | |
-Go on, then. -Yeah? -They're yours. -Perfect. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:29 | |
Yes, he more than doubles his money. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:32 | |
The cabinets make a profit of £77.27. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:35 | |
The Hitman's last private sale | 0:30:36 | 0:30:38 | |
is for his pair of mid 20th century telephones. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
He sells them for £145 to a specialist dealer | 0:30:41 | 0:30:45 | |
in an antique centre in Essex... | 0:30:45 | 0:30:47 | |
-Go on, then. -You can live with that. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:49 | |
I can live with that. Brilliant. OK. That's fine. Thank you very much indeed. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:53 | |
..and rings in a profit of £50. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |
So, Christina has one last item to offload. | 0:30:56 | 0:31:00 | |
After closer inspection of what she thought was a projector, | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
she's discovered that it's actually a vintage light, | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
and she hopes she's lined up the perfect buyer. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:09 | |
I'm here in Shrewsbury to meet up with Rosie, | 0:31:10 | 0:31:12 | |
who runs an antiques emporium, | 0:31:12 | 0:31:14 | |
and I know that she has a particular fondness for antique lighting, | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
so hopefully this will be of interest. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:19 | |
Now, Christina said this item is the jewel in her crown. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:23 | |
So let's hope it all goes well, then. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
The light owes her a shade over £336. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:29 | |
So, Rosie, I brought you my lamp | 0:31:29 | 0:31:31 | |
because you've got some really quite funky lighting. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
-Yeah. -And it seems to be something that you are quite a specialist in. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:38 | |
-Is that right? -Well, we love it. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:39 | |
We can't get enough of it, and this is absolutely fantastic. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:42 | |
It's got a really good look. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:44 | |
Having done a little bit of research, | 0:31:44 | 0:31:45 | |
I think this is some kind of stage lamp. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:47 | |
-It's pretty obviously a marriage. -Mmm. | 0:31:47 | 0:31:50 | |
The lamp part and the tripod part did not start life together. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:54 | |
I've had to cut the fitting off | 0:31:54 | 0:31:56 | |
to comply with regulations selling electricals. | 0:31:56 | 0:31:59 | |
I was hoping to get somewhere in the region of about £400 for it. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:04 | |
If we could go nearer, I don't know, 340, I'd be really happy. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:08 | |
I would be hoping more maybe 360, would be my bottom, really. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:12 | |
That sounds fair. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:13 | |
-OK, I'll give it a go at 360. -Brilliant. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:16 | |
-Rosie, I'll shake your hand at that. -It's a deal. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:18 | |
-You're a star. -Thank you. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:19 | |
-It's a deal! -BOTH LAUGH | 0:32:19 | 0:32:20 | |
Yes, and it's more than that, it's the final deal, | 0:32:20 | 0:32:23 | |
and it earns Christina £23.64 profit. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:26 | |
So that's four items each done and dusted. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:29 | |
Now, before we confront the chaos of the Showdown auction, | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
let's do some maths. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:34 | |
Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden | 0:32:34 | 0:32:36 | |
has had a good run so far. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:38 | |
His total profit at this point is £234.17. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:42 | |
Christina is not doing quite so well. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:46 | |
Her halfway profit stands at £114.64. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:50 | |
So now it's the moment we've all been waiting for. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:55 | |
Oh, yes. The Showdown auction is the stuff of nightmares. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:59 | |
No opportunity to haggle, hassle or sweet talk anyone. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:03 | |
Our experts must simply stand back and watch | 0:33:03 | 0:33:06 | |
as the sale room sorts the winners from the losers. | 0:33:06 | 0:33:08 | |
All of Jonty and Christina's items are going under the gavel... | 0:33:08 | 0:33:12 | |
HE BANGS GAVEL | 0:33:12 | 0:33:13 | |
..at Gildings auctioneers in Market Harborough. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
And, as ever, they'll be paying all the normal house commission and fees. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
So...how are they both feeling? | 0:33:19 | 0:33:22 | |
-Good morning. -Hello. How are you? | 0:33:22 | 0:33:24 | |
-Very well. How are you? -Oh, I don't know about that. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:26 | |
I'm...I'm feeling a bit nervous. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:28 | |
-Are you, Jonty? -Yeah. How about you? | 0:33:28 | 0:33:30 | |
-Surely not. You've done this for years. -I have. | 0:33:30 | 0:33:32 | |
But every time I come to an auction sale | 0:33:32 | 0:33:34 | |
-I just get that knot in my stomach, I don't know why. -It's good, though. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:37 | |
-It's excitement energy. -I know. How are you feeling? | 0:33:37 | 0:33:40 | |
-Pretty terrified. -HE LAUGHS | 0:33:40 | 0:33:43 | |
No, I think positive thinking gets you everywhere. Best of luck. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:46 | |
-Yes, may the best man - or woman - win. -Quite. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:50 | |
Oh, dear! | 0:33:50 | 0:33:51 | |
Well, don't worry, we'll soon put them out of their misery. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:55 | |
Before nerves get too frayed, | 0:33:55 | 0:33:56 | |
our pair of prizefighters check out each other's lots for one last time. | 0:33:56 | 0:34:00 | |
Now, I hate to admit this, but this wall stand is really good quality. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:05 | |
But Christina paid an awful lot of money for it. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
So will she get a return on her investment? | 0:34:08 | 0:34:10 | |
I am not sure. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:11 | |
I hate to admit it, but I think Jonty has bought really well here. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:16 | |
Industrial chic is very in, and they are very, very collectable. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:21 | |
This is a decorative case. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:22 | |
Load of damage on the outside. Why did she buy it? | 0:34:22 | 0:34:25 | |
I think this is a really sweet set. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:28 | |
Great that it's got its original case as well, | 0:34:28 | 0:34:30 | |
and nice little decoration. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:32 | |
But the key to selling silver successfully | 0:34:32 | 0:34:34 | |
is to have useful pieces. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:36 | |
And although this is sweet, | 0:34:36 | 0:34:37 | |
I'm not entirely sure it's very usable these days. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:39 | |
This is a decorative little object of Christina's. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:44 | |
A little bird tells me that this will not make a profit. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:48 | |
I really like these and I can see why Jonty bought them. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:52 | |
However, when you've got a piece of gaffer tape | 0:34:52 | 0:34:55 | |
holding something together, it's always a little bit concerning. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:58 | |
This is a decorative little object, this. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:00 | |
Lovely Art Deco shape, lovely Art Deco form. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
But 50 quid purchase? Will she make a profit? | 0:35:03 | 0:35:06 | |
I daren't broach the subject with her. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:08 | |
I was very green-eyed monster when I saw Jonty bought this. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
It's SO stylish, so faceted. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:14 | |
Really liked it. Very nervous. Ouch! | 0:35:14 | 0:35:17 | |
Blimey! Tell us what you really think. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:18 | |
They didn't hold back there, did they? | 0:35:18 | 0:35:20 | |
So the auctioneer is on the rostrum. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:22 | |
That can mean only one thing - the time has come. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:25 | |
Our first item is Jonty's metal advertising sign. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:30 | |
He paid £35. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:32 | |
What I'm looking for is a load of chicken farmers in here. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:35 | |
-Have you spotted any? -Well, what do they look like? | 0:35:35 | 0:35:37 | |
Ones carrying chickens. SHE LAUGHS | 0:35:37 | 0:35:39 | |
OK, here it comes. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:40 | |
At £15...I'm bid 18 online. At £20 in the room now, at 20. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:44 | |
-22. 25. 28. -Come on bidders. Come on. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:46 | |
30. 32. 35. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
-That's fantastic. -40. 42. -Online. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:51 | |
45. 48. 50 online. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:53 | |
-55. The bid now at 55. 60 online. -Fantastic! | 0:35:53 | 0:35:57 | |
HE BANGS GAVEL Yeah! Ooh! | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
Well done. Well done. Well done. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:01 | |
-You say that through gritted teeth. -Yeah, well done. | 0:36:01 | 0:36:04 | |
I'm so pleased for you. | 0:36:04 | 0:36:05 | |
Yes, once the fees are deducted, Jonty make a profit of £8.20. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:09 | |
Next under the hammer, The Hitman's wall lamps. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:13 | |
He paid £50 for them. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:16 | |
Do you like the tape? | 0:36:16 | 0:36:17 | |
Yes, it's a lovely later addition, isn't it? | 0:36:17 | 0:36:20 | |
-At £30. 32 I'm bid online at 32. -Come along. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:24 | |
5 now online. 38 online. 40 bid then, at 40. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |
-42 online, at 42. -HE BANGS GAVEL | 0:36:27 | 0:36:29 | |
HE GROANS Stabbed in the heart. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:31 | |
Jonty, I hate to tell you, it's not as bad as it could have been. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
THEY LAUGH That's true. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
Yes, she's right, but a loss is a loss. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:38 | |
After fees it's even worse. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:40 | |
So this is my first lot coming up now. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:45 | |
-Mmm. Yeah. -What do you think of it? | 0:36:45 | 0:36:47 | |
It's a decorative thing. It's a pretty thing. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:49 | |
-Let's see. See what happens. -Stony silence. | 0:36:49 | 0:36:51 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:36:51 | 0:36:53 | |
The 19th-century linnet's cage owes our Magpie just under £34 | 0:36:53 | 0:36:58 | |
and she's on tenterhooks. | 0:36:58 | 0:36:59 | |
She can barely watch. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:01 | |
-AUCTIONEER: -And bidding starts here at 20. | 0:37:01 | 0:37:04 | |
£20. 22. 25. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:06 | |
28. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:06 | |
-There we go. -Go on! | 0:37:06 | 0:37:08 | |
-The bidding's in the room and selling at 28. -HE BANGS GAVEL | 0:37:08 | 0:37:10 | |
Not a profit, but not TOO much of a loss. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:13 | |
Not...catastrophic. | 0:37:13 | 0:37:15 | |
Not a total disaster, but it is a loss, nonetheless. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:19 | |
£16.92 after fees. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
We soon move on to Jonty's English silver tea set. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:25 | |
Will it serve up a profit on the £118 he paid? | 0:37:25 | 0:37:29 | |
-It's £80. Fair warning at 80. -HE BANGS GAVEL | 0:37:29 | 0:37:32 | |
Oh, I need that hanky. HE SOBS | 0:37:32 | 0:37:35 | |
-Jonty, that is not as bad as it could have been. -SHE LAUGHS | 0:37:35 | 0:37:37 | |
-Real tears. -Real tears! | 0:37:37 | 0:37:39 | |
Yes, that's clearly the catchphrase of the day - | 0:37:39 | 0:37:41 | |
"Not as bad as it could have been." | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
But it's still pretty dismal. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:45 | |
Taking the fees into account, the loss is £58.58. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:49 | |
Moving on, we reach Christina's Art Deco mirror. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
She paid a lot for this - £145. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
So will it fly or was it an expensive mistake? | 0:37:55 | 0:37:59 | |
I would like it known... that I got totally carried away, | 0:37:59 | 0:38:02 | |
fell in love with this and paid far too much for it. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:04 | |
I think it's nice. | 0:38:04 | 0:38:06 | |
Bidding starting at £30. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:08 | |
My God, Jonty! | 0:38:08 | 0:38:10 | |
32. 35. 38. 40. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:11 | |
It's gonna go through 100. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:13 | |
At 48. At £48... | 0:38:13 | 0:38:15 | |
-Right, cover up your... -Oh, no! | 0:38:15 | 0:38:17 | |
-At 55... -HE BANGS GAVEL | 0:38:17 | 0:38:19 | |
-Ow! -SHE LAUGHS | 0:38:19 | 0:38:22 | |
You win some, you lose a lot. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:24 | |
BOTH LAUGH | 0:38:24 | 0:38:25 | |
What is going on today? That's a hefty loss. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:28 | |
The fees make it even worse. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:30 | |
£106.35 just disappears. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:34 | |
But that's not something we want to dwell on. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:36 | |
Onwards and upwards. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:37 | |
Christina's pinning her hopes on her £50 brooch. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:40 | |
But she's not confident. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:43 | |
This is going to be quite painful. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:45 | |
£15 pounds I'm bid, then. And 20. 22. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:48 | |
Go on! Go on! Come on! | 0:38:48 | 0:38:50 | |
Bid, bid, bid! | 0:38:50 | 0:38:52 | |
28 I'm bid, at 28. 30. There we are, 30. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:54 | |
Oh, go on. Go on, one more. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:56 | |
-And away at 30. -HE BANGS GAVEL | 0:38:56 | 0:38:58 | |
Oh, well. Worse things happen at sea. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:01 | |
We're all still alive. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:02 | |
Well...what?! Like, what?! | 0:39:02 | 0:39:04 | |
Yes, Christina's trying to be jovial but her head is in her hands, | 0:39:04 | 0:39:08 | |
and that says it all. | 0:39:08 | 0:39:09 | |
That's her third loss in a row. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:11 | |
£31.40 after fees. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:14 | |
So Christina's last grasp at glory rests with her needlework case | 0:39:14 | 0:39:18 | |
that owes her very nearly £115. | 0:39:18 | 0:39:21 | |
But will its damage do her in? | 0:39:21 | 0:39:24 | |
Come on, Christina. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:25 | |
28 online. At 28. £28. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:28 | |
HE BANGS GAVEL | 0:39:28 | 0:39:30 | |
Oh, dear, no. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:31 | |
Ouch. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:37 | |
Yes, she can't believe it. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:38 | |
And Jonty's obvious joy probably isn't helping her either. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:42 | |
That's a fourth and final loss - £98 once fees are taken. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:46 | |
So Christina must be now secretly hoping that Jonty's last lot bombs. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:51 | |
And, judging by the way things have gone so far, there's every chance. | 0:39:51 | 0:39:55 | |
Despite its shininess, The Magpie wasn't too keen on the Edwardian christening set. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:59 | |
Jonty bought it for a little over £145. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:02 | |
Bidding opens here with me at £40. 50. 55. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:06 | |
Come on! Come on! | 0:40:06 | 0:40:08 | |
-SHE LAUGHS -Shh! | 0:40:08 | 0:40:09 | |
More! NO! HE BANGS GAVEL | 0:40:09 | 0:40:11 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:40:11 | 0:40:14 | |
-HE GROANS -Oh, what a shame. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:16 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:40:16 | 0:40:17 | |
Well, that's lightened Christina's mood. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:20 | |
After the fees, Jonty makes a massive loss - £106.10. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
-Never mind. How you feeling? -Exhausted. | 0:40:24 | 0:40:27 | |
-It's an emotional roller-coaster. -Yes. I'm drained. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:30 | |
Ah, I think we both of us could do with a consoling cup of tea. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:33 | |
-That's the best thing I've heard all day. -Good. Come on, then. | 0:40:33 | 0:40:36 | |
Hmm, they might need more than a cup of tea. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:39 | |
Give them a slice of lemon drizzle cake as well. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:41 | |
So that's that, then. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:42 | |
Market Harborough has not been kind to our experts, | 0:40:42 | 0:40:45 | |
but that's the joy of auctions - | 0:40:45 | 0:40:46 | |
you never know whether the right buyers will be there on the day. | 0:40:46 | 0:40:50 | |
So before we reveal our winner, | 0:40:50 | 0:40:53 | |
let's remind ourselves what they both forked out on their items. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:56 | |
Both our experts entered the Showdown | 0:40:56 | 0:40:58 | |
with £1,000 for their eight purchases. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:01 | |
Jonty spent well - very nearly £700 all-up. | 0:41:01 | 0:41:05 | |
And Christina spent a little bit more - just under £745. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:10 | |
All in all, it proved to be a tough old gig. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:12 | |
Any profit that Jonty and Christina have made | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
from today's monumental challenge | 0:41:17 | 0:41:19 | |
will go to the charities of their choice. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:21 | |
So let's find out who is today's | 0:41:21 | 0:41:23 | |
Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Showdown champion. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:26 | |
-Hello. -Hi. How are you? | 0:41:27 | 0:41:29 | |
Well. How are you? | 0:41:29 | 0:41:30 | |
-Good. -This is it! | 0:41:30 | 0:41:31 | |
I know. This is the big one. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:33 | |
Well, maybe for you. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:35 | |
Not for me, probably. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:36 | |
But wasn't the auction a complete and utter disaster? | 0:41:36 | 0:41:39 | |
Oh, not my finest hour, Jonty. | 0:41:39 | 0:41:41 | |
We're all still standing. Just. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:44 | |
-Yeah. Shall we see how we've done? -Let's do it. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:47 | |
Yeah, let's do it, let's do it. Ready, steady, go! | 0:41:47 | 0:41:50 | |
Oh! That's actually not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:54 | |
-Wow, £56.13. -I'm quite pleased with that. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:58 | |
-It's definitely not our finest hour. -No, definitely not our finest hour. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:01 | |
So Jonty is today's winner. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:04 | |
But both our experts have been building up their profit pots | 0:42:04 | 0:42:06 | |
over a week of challenges. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:08 | |
They've struck an impressive 125 deals. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:12 | |
So let's reveal the overall winner. | 0:42:12 | 0:42:15 | |
So shall we see how we've done? | 0:42:15 | 0:42:17 | |
Let's do it. Let's get rid of that one. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:18 | |
-Quickly. -Quickly. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:20 | |
Oh, what? Jonty, that's phenomenal! | 0:42:20 | 0:42:23 | |
That's a great result for me. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:24 | |
-But you've done well. That's great! -Well...it's not too bad. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:27 | |
You know what? We've both done well. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:29 | |
-We've worked hard, haven't we? -We both worked jolly hard. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:32 | |
Thanks for being such a wonderful... | 0:42:32 | 0:42:34 | |
-You have been an absolute star. -..strong competitor. | 0:42:34 | 0:42:37 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:42:37 | 0:42:39 | |
Well, that's some serious money - | 0:42:39 | 0:42:40 | |
more than £2,100 profit between them. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:44 | |
And every last penny of that will be going to their chosen charities. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:48 | |
The charity that I have decided to give my money to this week | 0:42:48 | 0:42:51 | |
is a charity called CRY, | 0:42:51 | 0:42:53 | |
which seeks to raise awareness of conditions | 0:42:53 | 0:42:55 | |
that can lead to young sudden cardiac death. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:58 | |
All of my profits this week will be going to Emmaus Oxford | 0:42:58 | 0:43:01 | |
that looks after the homeless of the city. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:03 | |
Well, it's been a week of no-holds-barred combat. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:07 | |
Our excellent experts have really put their money where their mouths are | 0:43:07 | 0:43:10 | |
and shown they can make a convincing profit | 0:43:10 | 0:43:12 | |
from buying and selling antiques when their own money is on the line. | 0:43:12 | 0:43:16 |
