0:00:05 > 0:00:08Today, we're at Epsom racecourse in Surrey.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12And the track, which is one mile and four furlongs long, has seen some
0:00:12 > 0:00:15spectacular wins and some devastating losses.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19And let's hope that our Reds and Blues are on track today as we go
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Bargain Hunting!
0:00:46 > 0:00:49We won't be placing any bets on horses here today,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52but our teams do have one hour on the clock.
0:00:52 > 0:00:58And they each have ?300 to take a punt on three items found here at
0:00:58 > 0:00:59the antiques fair.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Now, let's hope that they all gallop home with profits at the auction.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06But in the meantime, let's find out what lies ahead.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Caroline's piling on the pressure.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12He who dithers...
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Yes. Loses. Yeah.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18David's feeling the pressure.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Next time, be quicker, right?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Go, go, go, go.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Speed!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26And at the auction, the pressure keeps on mounting.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Oh, guys! And mounting.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Getting there.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37That's all for later. First of all, let's meet our teams.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40To my right, we have friends Colin and Paul on our Red team.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42And to my left, Christina and Pauline for the Blues.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Hello, teams, welcome. ALL: Hello.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Let's start with you two, Colin and Paul.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Very welcome today. Now, Colin, you are a retired butcher?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53I done butchery for 42 years.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Oh, wow. Had three shops.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Very hard work. Long hours.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Mm. So it's nice not to have to get up in the morning now.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Now you find yourself on the golf course quite a lot, is that correct? Three times a week I play.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I think that Paul might be a little bit jealous of that,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10cos you're not quite a man of leisure yet, are you, Paul? No, hopefully soon!
0:02:10 > 0:02:11What is it that you do?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13I do some work at the golf club,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16look after the societies and make sure they have a good time.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18And I do a bit of security and a bit of driving.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21How do you reckon you're going to get on today? Do you have any tactics?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Well, we'll buy well, cheap, sell for lots.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28OK. And we'll take advice. And we'll take advice. Take advice.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Well, we've got a good expert lined up for you,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32so I'm sure you'll be in very capable hands.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Now, let's head over to our Blue team.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Christina and Pauline. Welcome, ladies.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Now, you two met nowhere near here, other side of the world,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41is that correct? That's right, yes.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43So whereabouts did you find yourselves meeting?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Well, we were next door to each other,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48living next door to each other in Teheran in Iran.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53OK, wow! And we worked as journalists when the revolution happened and
0:02:53 > 0:02:56then we were still there, we still managed to stay there.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Wow. But we had a wonderful relationship because literally,
0:02:59 > 0:03:04she was just over a 12 foot high wall and if we needed to have a drink
0:03:04 > 0:03:06with each other or sit out in our gardens,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08we would just sort of pop over the wall!
0:03:08 > 0:03:11You've given up on the journalism, you've retired now, Christina.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12What do you do with your time these days?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I'm writing a memoir because my grandchildren don't believe that
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I've lived such a rackety life! Oh, wow, a memoir!
0:03:18 > 0:03:22What's it called? At the moment the working title is just Granny's Story.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Oh, it's a great title! Now, Pauline, tell me about yourself.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27In your retirement, what do you find yourself doing?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I live on a boat a lot of the time.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I've had the boat for 40 years. It's a sailing boat.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34And needs lots of care and attention.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Oh, well, like we all do. What are your tactics today?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Well, one of my tactics is to stop Pauline buying something utterly
0:03:42 > 0:03:45stupid! Because she's very impulsive.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46I tend to be the opposite.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50I'm waiting for something to jump up and say, "Buy me!"
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Hopefully it does! Well, in order to go shopping,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55you're going to have to have some money.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57And I've got ?300 for each of you.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59So, Reds, there's your 300.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Blues, here is 300 for you.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Off you go and very good luck.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07It's a battle of the sexes today.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Did someone say girl power!
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Helping not one but two sets of teams are our experts.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14But which ones are in the saddle today?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17It's good odds for the Reds with Caroline Hawley.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24And hoping for a full house for the Blues, it's David Harper.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Right, Colin, what are you looking for today?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Silver items, snuff boxes,
0:04:29 > 0:04:34jewellery. If I find something that screams, "Buy me," then I'll do it.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Paul, what are you looking for? Anything! Expensive, cheap?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Expensive. Pauline?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Yeah, something very old.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Very old? Preferably for a boat.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Wow! Right, teams, you're under starter's orders,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48and your 60 minutes start now!
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Shall we go? Yes. Come on!
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Let's go.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Eyes peeled. That's the spirit, Reds.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02What attracts you on this stall?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Not a lot! Right.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Don't hold back, Pauline!
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Shout if you see anything!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Anyone?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Now, is this screaming, "Buy me, Blues"?
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Is this a biscuit barrel?
0:05:15 > 0:05:20Yes. I haven't seen a biscuit barrel since, oh, 50 years or so.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Really?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I like that. No, I think it is more of a modern one.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27It is a modern one. It is.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29But I love the colours. Yes, good colours.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31For 20 quid, it's no money, is it? I really like that.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34OK. Are we interested?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36It's pretty ugly, isn't it?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Pauline's clearly not one to mince her words.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Are we going somewhere else? Yes.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44OK. We may come back for that, I really quite like that.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Thank you, ladies. Thank you.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Hm, the Reds are just as decisive!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I'd like to get this if we could.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52You'd like to get that! What, you've decided?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Yes, I have. Hang on, have you even looked at it?
0:05:55 > 0:05:56It's just it's cheap.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Cheap isn't always good!
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I believe it's a cigar box or cigarette box.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I don't know. Well, it could be a jewellery box.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Cos people don't really smoke any more. That reminds me of a boat.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08A ship, yeah. It does, a ship's wheel. Yeah, a ship's wheel.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12They're asking 12. You could probably get it for, I don't know...
0:06:12 > 0:06:14A fiver? Eight, ten, maybe?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Well, would you like to...? Yes.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Can you find the owner of this fine thing?
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Excuse me. What are your haggling skills like, Reds?
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Could you do eight?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I've got 12. I can do ten.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Nine?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31That's the bottom line, ten.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Really? Yes. We can always come back, can't we?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Yeah. Yes. But we are a third of the way into the shop.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Thank you very much for that. We might be back.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42With 20 minutes on the clock,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I wouldn't leave it much longer to bag your first item.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48He who dithers loses.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Yeah. Wise words, Caroline.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Now, what have the Blues spotted?
0:06:52 > 0:06:56How about this? That is ridiculously cheap.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I mean, I haven't even handled it.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59?11.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04It's damaged, but it's an imari, Japanese hand-painted plate.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Shipped from the port of Imari.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09And it's two or 300 years old.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13It's got a rather sort of intensive looking crack in it, hasn't it?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15You know what, people say in this business,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18"Don't touch it if it's damaged." I say exactly the opposite.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23Because it's damaged and repaired, you buy it for no money,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25yet it's still a beautiful object.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28OK, let's see if we can get it for ?8. Shall we handle the object?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Right. Right. There we have it. Actually, you're right, it is very beautiful.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Look at the painting, hand-painted. I know, I was looking at that, that is beautiful.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39That burst of oriental flowers with an oriental vase on a stand.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Yes, I love it. Now, Japanese pieces should be decorated on the back.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I wanted you to turn it over, yes. OK, there we have it, look at that.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Oh, it's so pretty.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50It is. Do you know what these little marks are?
0:07:50 > 0:07:55It stood in the kiln on five tiny, little, thin pieces of wood,
0:07:55 > 0:08:00maybe slivers of bamboo, stood there two or 300 years ago to fire it.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Oh, we have to have it. And it hasn't changed in all that time apart from
0:08:03 > 0:08:05the big whacking crack. Let's have it.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Oh, let's have it. Yeah, no, no, I...
0:08:07 > 0:08:08We want it, we're going to buy it.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Let's see how good you are at negotiating down.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Hello. Hello. Hi, there.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17We love this, but it does have a very serious crack.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Could you do it for ?8?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23A lot of work's gone into restoring it so it's stable.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26But it's your lucky day.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29?8. Thank you very much. We've done the deal.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Thank you very much indeed. Marvellous. It is so pretty.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Right, you two, one purchase in.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Next time, be quicker. Right? Go, go, go, go, go.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Speed! Then we might miss something important and interesting.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44No, it's all about speed.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Good advice, David. But I think it's probably fallen on deaf ears.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52So, one in the bag for the Blues.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Are the Reds about to cut their first deal?
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Fruit knife. Now, is that a silver one?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Yes, it is. The hallmark's silver.
0:09:01 > 0:09:08How old? How old? Now, that is Sheffield, 1921.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09?12.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14Now, really, for a bit of silver, that's cheap.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15It's not a lot of money.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I think... Now, is that damage?
0:09:17 > 0:09:21I always say this, but feel with your fingers as well as your eyes.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23It is a little bit of damage, yeah.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27A tiny bit. Really, that's not bad.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30What do we need to try and get this for?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33He'll do ten. That's cheap. See if it can be eight.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Says me running away!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38The expert, the expert says six to eight.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43Ten is the best. Could you do eight for these really nice guys?
0:09:43 > 0:09:47We need to make a profit and we haven't bought a thing yet.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Sorry, ten I can get all day long. Nine. Just to give us a chance.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53No. He's not going to move, I can tell he's not.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55He's not going to move! He's not going to move.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57OK. We'll go for it, shall we?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Yes, we should. Yes, you're happy with that?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Yeah. Brilliant. Yeah? ?10? Yes.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04All done. All done. Excellent. Thank you so much.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08So Colin has his silver knife.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Well done, Reds. It's 1-1.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14But we're halfway through, teams, you might want to step it up a gear.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Have our journalists found a potential scoop with this mysterious box?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Oh, it's broken. Oh!
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Oh, still, it gets worse! OK.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Look at that. Oh, I see. And then you...
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Put this in the centre like this.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34It is like a miniature kneehole desk.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Yes. Yes. This comes open.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42What I love, my favourite bit,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45look at the condition of this lacquer work in there.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Isn't that amazing? Oh, that is beautiful.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50And the Japanese are master craftsman.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Absolutely. The carpentry inlays here, the way it's put together.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55And the condition as well. It is not very old, though, is it?
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Oh, it is. It is 19th century, yeah. It is, yeah. It is a true antique.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Oh, yeah. How do you know? Well, you can... Well,
0:11:01 > 0:11:05because I've been in the business for 500,000 years,
0:11:05 > 0:11:09and I can tell from 40 feet away that it was made in the 19th century.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I caught sight of the price, you see.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17How much is it? The ticket says ?240, David, so is that the best price?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21The best price would be ?180. 180. 180.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22It is a bit specialist.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26I think... In a general sale it probably wouldn't fly, would it?
0:11:26 > 0:11:30No. I've just had the nod to say I can do 150.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31150? Who are you talking to?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34The spirits? Yes. No, my husband's over there.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Oh, is he?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39It leaves us too short, really. Does it? 140.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Well, 145 is the best.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44You won't go to 142?
0:11:44 > 0:11:45It is only three quid.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48That's a cup of tea. I know, that's what I am thinking...
0:11:48 > 0:11:50THEY LAUGH
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Right. It's 145.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Or walk away.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58You could lose ?50.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59You could, very easily.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01But if you're risk-takers, do it.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03We'll do it. Do it!
0:12:03 > 0:12:07We'll live through it. Marvellous. Thank you very much. Well sold.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09These ladies are risk-takers.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Well done, Blues, that's your second item.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13With under half an hour left,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15you'll need to keep it together to clinch your third.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Where is our partner in crime?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Oh, dear.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Pauline has wandered off.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Now, Reds, are you about to balance things up?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I like that. What do you like? This.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30That is brass, is it? No, no, it's bronze.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Bronze. The scales of Justice.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37She is blindfolded.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39On a marble base.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43I don't think she has got a lot of age, but she's rather sexy, isn't she?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46She is. I would put 60-80.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53What's the price? 80. 80. Oh, well. That is the best price.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54It was 100. Was it?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Yeah. Let's be fair, think of Justice. Yeah, that's right. 80.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59That's justice. Oh!
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Could you do her a little bit less?
0:13:02 > 0:13:0679. Oh, no.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Yeah, there's a couple of people interested in that.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10You really like it, do you?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I liked it, yes, but I think for 70 maybe, not for 80.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16And do you want it at 70? At 70 I think...
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Well, if Colin is OK with that. Shake on your hand at 70?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Right in the middle at 75.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25If we get 70, I don't think we'll lose money.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I think, hopefully, we'll get our money back. Come on.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29No, I'm holding at 75.
0:13:29 > 0:13:3274. 74.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Well, go on, because I'm tired.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Go on, then. 74. 74.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Well done. Two in the bag.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45So we've got one more item left and we haven't got that long to go.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Lead on. Let's follow you, man.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52No, you don't. There are less than 20 minutes remaining.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Now, are you happy with how things are going, Caroline?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59It looked for one second they weren't going to buy anything at all,
0:13:59 > 0:14:03but they have managed to catch up. Fortunately, Paul just spotted something,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06she happened to be a semi-naked female, but whatever, we've got it,
0:14:06 > 0:14:08so it is going well.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Excellent. Now this looks a bit kind of ethnicy, does that?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14I like that. What's all this about?
0:14:14 > 0:14:18So everything on the table, 5-25.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Pauline, what are your thoughts? I like this, you see. I think it is a nice piece.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25That's your biscuit barrel. It is pewter. Yes.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28It is lovely. Tell me why you are drawn to that.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32The shape. OK. And the fact that it is pewter.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Do you like pewter? I love pewter.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Any impressed marks? There normally are. There are.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39There are some pewter marks in there.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41They are well and truly rubbed, no maker.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44And its purpose?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Well, it would be a biscuit barrel. I think biscuits.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49You like your biscuit barrels. I like my biscuits.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51And I like my biscuit barrels.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54How much would you like to pay for it? Five. Eight.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Five. Eight. Five, eight. Something like that. I'll go and find out.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Wait there. Even ten.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Would you have it at ten? Yes. Yes. Christina? OK, wait there.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Yes.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Go and work your magic, then, David.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11So, Reds, are you still trotting along nicely?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13What do you think of this, Paul?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I like that, actually. Caroline, what do you think?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I do like that. Well, that's a lot of horse for your money, isn't it?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20What's it made of? I would think that's spelter.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23OK. Late 19th, early 20th century.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Originally it would have been one of a pair.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30OK. Rearing horse. Now, if it was in bronze, that would be lots of money.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Yeah. Spelter was the cheaper way, a way of making things,
0:15:34 > 0:15:38affordable to the masses, but still looking magnificent.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Yeah. I like it. I do. It would still make a statement today, wouldn't it?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45You could have it in the garden. Yeah. Love it or hate it.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Yeah. Now, do you both love it? Do you like it?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I do like it. I would like to make an offer on it anyway.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Would you? What could be your very best?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54STALLHOLDER: 25. 25.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56And that's your best price? Could you do it a bit better?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59OK, I'll do it for 20. Can we shake your hand on that?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Red's my colour.
0:16:01 > 0:16:07Thank you very much. My golly goodness. Thank you very much. Thank you. Appreciate that.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Well, hey, guys. Woohoo!
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Well done. I'm pleased with that. That is three items bought.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15God, you were slow burners, I have to say.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19But once you got off the starting blocks... That's it. ..you did it.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20We're done.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Come on. Woohoo!. Cup of tea.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Cup of tea. Well done, Reds.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Go and grab yourself a well-deserved cuppa.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Now, David, what's the best price for the biscuit barrel?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35OK, I have some news for you.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Yes. She thinks it's a tea caddy.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Now, it could be a tea caddy. It's a caddy of some sort, for biscuits, tea, whatever.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Yes. How much do you think it is?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I would... 15. 10? 8?
0:16:47 > 0:16:4915 is the best price.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Not a pound less. It's take it or leave it time.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58I'd take it. The caddy, yeah. Yeah.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01You want the caddy? Yeah. I want the caddy. Shall I go back and say we've done it?
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Yes. Marvellous.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Pauline, well done, you.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Well done. Christina, well done.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09KLAXON I'll pass that on.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11News just in. Time is up.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It's now time to sell,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18and we've whizzed over from Epson to Wisborough Green in West Sussex
0:17:18 > 0:17:23for the auction. But first, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26First up, will this fruit knife cut the Reds a profit?
0:17:26 > 0:17:27?10 paid.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Next, will the jury be out with the scales of Justice statue,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35bought for ?74?
0:17:37 > 0:17:38And in the final furlong,
0:17:38 > 0:17:43they cantered home with this horse and rider statue for ?20.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Hello, Paul and Colin. Well, this is the exciting bit.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50You had ?196 of leftover lolly.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Caroline, what did you spend it on? Do you have any ideas?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56None whatsoever. Right.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58There you go. Oh, we're getting married!
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Congratulations. Yes, I should be down on one knee, shouldn't I?
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Let me tell you what it is.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08Sapphire, two diamonds, 18-carat gold.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Gold? I would think that's sort of 1920s, '30s.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16What would be the estimate at auction? I paid 140.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20I think it has got to make 150, 160,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22so there's not going to be a huge profit,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25but I think there will be a profit on it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26You can decide later, Reds.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Now for the Blues.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31And let's remind ourselves what the team bought with their ?300.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37First up, will this Japanese plate serve up a profit for the Blues?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39?8 paid.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Sticking with the oriental theme,
0:18:41 > 0:18:45our journalists bought this writing desk for ?145.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51And finally, let's hope they don't crumble with this biscuit tin,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53?15 paid.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Well, this is thrilling stuff, Chris and Pauline,
0:18:57 > 0:19:02because you left David Harper ?132 of leftover lolly.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04What did you buy? Are you ready, you two?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I've got one each,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09and I think you are going to be devastatingly impressed.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Oh, look at this. Well...
0:19:12 > 0:19:17We have here an airship, a Zeppelin, flying over a mountain range.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19First World War.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24And marked on the back, WMF. A famous German maker.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Particularly known for Art Nouveau. I think they're incredibly rare.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31How much did you spend? Oh, you have shown so much enthusiasm.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I love it. We give you a lot of money.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Well, I did spend a lot. How much do you think? Oh, goodness me, I don't know. 25.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Oh, my God. ?20. 70. THEY LAUGH
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Oh, Lord! What is it going to make at auction?
0:19:43 > 0:19:48They are either worth a five or ?10 note, or a couple of hundred.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51It all depends on whether we capture the right market.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Well, David, let's hope for the latter.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Right, we're now off to auction, and Jonathan Pratt is at the helm.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59One more? Selling.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Colin and Paul, tell me how you're feeling?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05We're here, we're in the auction room, what are you thinking?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Very excited. You're very excited!
0:20:07 > 0:20:10We're going to make loads of money. Loads of lolly.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Listen, gentlemen, the fruit knife is going under the hammer right now.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Let's watch JP in action.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17It's a small folding fruit knife with silver blade,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20mother-of-pearl handle. Sheffield, 1921.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I've got three bids on the book.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19GAVEL BANGS 55. 55!
0:21:19 > 0:21:21OK, so ?19 loss.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24But you're still plus six. Oh, right, it's OK, it's OK.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25We're in the money.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28This is, you think, is going to be your biggest profit? Yes.

0:21:54 > 0:21:5645! Brilliant.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Plus 25, it means, overall, plus 31.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Gentlemen, well done!
0:22:01 > 0:22:04But this, this is decision time,
0:22:04 > 0:22:08because it all rests now on whether or not you go for the bonus buy.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11We're going to go with it because we trust her.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12You trust her? Of course you do.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Let's see how it goes.
0:22:14 > 0:22:1718-carat gold sapphire and diamond three-stone ring.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I've got bids at 40, 50, 60, ?65 on the book.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23At ?65. Looking for 70.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Selling ?120, fair warning.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Oh! A valiant effort.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58Don't worry, only ?20 lost, which means it is plus 11.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I cannot believe you've come to Bargain Hunt and you made a profit.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Very well done. Plus 11 could be a winning score,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07so, don't say a word to the Blues, OK?
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Keep it mum.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Right, here we are. Chris, Polly, David.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26And how about you, Chris? Yes, curious, a bit nervous.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29You're well-travelled ladies, you don't fear anything!

0:24:40 > 0:24:43It is all your fault! I know. ?90, what have we lost there?
0:24:43 > 0:24:47We've lost ?55 which makes you minus 51.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54A late 19th-century pewter biscuit barrel.

0:25:08 > 0:25:1115! 15, go on! 15 is bid.
0:25:11 > 0:25:1318. Ooh, you're in profit!
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Seated. 20. One more, 22?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17?20 on my right and selling. Last chance, 20?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19GAVEL BANGS
0:25:19 > 0:25:21?20. It's a profit on that fiver
0:25:21 > 0:25:26which means that we are minus ?46.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30I don't want to know! Oh, dear. Minus 46. Don't worry about it.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34You look so devastated. No, we're going to make it on the Zeppelins.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Do you reckon? Because that is now the decision.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40It is whether or not we go with David's bonus buy.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42The trench art WMF plates.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45You hated them. You hated them. Yeah, but we'll go with it.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47You're going to go with them. And here they come.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50It is a pair of World War I brass trench art plates.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Very nice little things, these.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Bids starting with me at, straight in at ?55.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Straight in at 55, ladies. What?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Ah, look at that. ?60 here. Looking for another 5.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04?60. Come on, another fiver. Keep going.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05?60 here. Any more?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Two Zeppelins for 60 quid?
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Any more?
0:26:08 > 0:26:11No? All done. It's going. Last chance. 60.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Well, it could have been worse.
0:26:14 > 0:26:20It's minus ?10. It means that you are minus 56 overall, ladies.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22And you should be proud of that, I tell you. Minus 56.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24But, do you know what?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27On Bargain Hunt, a loss can sometimes be a win.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29So, you never know, it could be a winning score.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Promise me you won't say anything to the Reds.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Don't worry, ladies. Keep your chin up.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Not a word, zipped! Ha!
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Two very different results today.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Minus ?56 for the runners-up,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43but an enormous ?11 for the winning Reds.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Well done, them!
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Coming up.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Will our next two teams fare any better?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50We'll see.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Meanwhile, I'm off to Parham House in Sussex,
0:26:52 > 0:26:54a well-loved Elizabethan home.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Believe it or not,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00only three families have lived here
0:27:00 > 0:27:03since the foundation stone was laid in 1577.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07I've come to meet Lady Emma Barnard
0:27:07 > 0:27:11whose great-grandfather bought this house in 1922.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Lady Emma and her family have lived here since 1993.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20Hello. Well, I have to say, wow, and hello, nice to meet you.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Welcome to Parham. Thank you very much.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Well, here we are in your home, and please do tell me the story,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26the history of Parham.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Well, Parham used to belong to the monastery at Westminster.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32But, in 1540, after the dissolution of the monasteries,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34a chap called Robert Palmer bought it.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38And his son decided that he needed a slightly grander house.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43And, in 1577, his grandson, little Thomas, aged two-and-a-half,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45laid the foundation stone of this house.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Anyway, that little boy grew up, but didn't really like Parham very much,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51I don't think, so, eventually, in 1601,
0:27:51 > 0:27:55he actually sold Parham to Thomas Bishopp.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00Your family bought the property from the Bishopps in 1922, didn't they?
0:28:00 > 0:28:03That's right. My great-grandfather Clive Pearson and his wife Alicia
0:28:03 > 0:28:05completely fell in love with it.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07And it was in rather a sorry state by then,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09and my great-grandfather was an engineer,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12so, I think he saw a wonderful project.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15And my great-grandmother loved paintings and chattels and books,
0:28:15 > 0:28:19so, they were the most amazing team to take Parham on,
0:28:19 > 0:28:20and that's what they did.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27One of the rooms Lady Emma is keen to show me is the Long Gallery.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Now, close your eyes.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Close my eyes? OK.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Eyes are closed, eyes are closed.
0:28:35 > 0:28:35Open them.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Oh, wow!
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Oh, Lady Emma, this is amazing!
0:28:40 > 0:28:42It just goes on and on and on!
0:28:42 > 0:28:44The room is 158 foot long,
0:28:44 > 0:28:48I think it's the third longest in a privately-owned house in England.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Centuries ago, it would have been open to the rafters
0:28:50 > 0:28:53and they would have done all sorts of things up here,
0:28:53 > 0:28:56walked on rainy days, they would have played games.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58And there was one chap, one of the Cecil Bishopps
0:28:58 > 0:29:01who lived here during the Napoleonic Wars,
0:29:01 > 0:29:05and he used to drill his troop of soldiers up and down this room
0:29:05 > 0:29:08when the roads were too bad and the weather was awful.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10This ceiling is amazing.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Now, this was your great-grandparents' legacy.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15This was. The thing is, when they put it in,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17people raised their eyebrows and thought it was
0:29:17 > 0:29:19absolutely horrible, but I don't agree with them.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Lady Emma, thank you so much for having us along. You're welcome.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Back at Epsom racecourse,
0:29:28 > 0:29:31we're about to find out whether our next two teams
0:29:31 > 0:29:34can pick three objects capable of making a profit at auction.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Let's meet them.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42To my right on the Red team, we've got very good friends Mark and Vip.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44And to my left, for the Blue team,
0:29:44 > 0:29:45we've got very good friends Simon and Steven.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Welcome to you all. Hello. ALL: Hello. Hi.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Well, let's start with our Red team.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Mark, tell us what you do?
0:29:51 > 0:29:53You're into coding and the like, is that correct?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Yes, I'm a computer programmer.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58So, anything from online movies to pension funds.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00So, seriously varied? Yes, I'll do anything.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03OK, computer coding and programming is what you do day-to-day,
0:30:03 > 0:30:05but you also have quite a social conscience, don't you?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Yes, I do some volunteering at Freightliners Farm in Islington.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11It's just a great way of locals being able to interact
0:30:11 > 0:30:14and learn on the farm. It's run by some very hard-working
0:30:14 > 0:30:17dedicated people, and I urge anyone in the area to take a visit.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Will do. Vip, tell us what you do? You're also professional.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Yes, that's right. I'm a doctor in the NHS. Oh, fantastic.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24I have been for 14 years.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28OK. And had to travel the world with it, and see a lot of things,
0:30:28 > 0:30:32so I've enjoyed myself. And Vip, you've you have recently taken part
0:30:32 > 0:30:34in another challenge that, similarly to Bargain, Hunt,
0:30:34 > 0:30:36was against the clock, is that right? Yeah.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40We got dragged into an event called Tough Mudder.
0:30:40 > 0:30:45It was over, I think, 12 miles of muddy assault course,
0:30:45 > 0:30:47over barbed wire, electric shocks.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50I think today is going to be slightly tougher than that.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Do you reckon? Cleaner! Much cleaner!
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Don't get any mud on these fleeces. They're expensive, you know!
0:30:54 > 0:30:56So what about tactics?
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Do you reckon you're going to work well together as a team?
0:30:58 > 0:30:59No. Not at all.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01No. No, we never have done, to be fair.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03THEY LAUGH
0:31:03 > 0:31:04I think we're going to argue quite a lot,
0:31:04 > 0:31:07but I think that's why we will do well, I think.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Vip's a good talker, I think we'll get good prices.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11You're going to get along better than you make out
0:31:11 > 0:31:13and, hopefully, it goes very well for you.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Now these guys are the Tough Mudders.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18But Simon and Steven, tell me about your love of mud?
0:31:18 > 0:31:20That's right, it's called mud larking.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22LAUGHTER
0:31:22 > 0:31:24We go down the River Thames and we search around in the mud
0:31:24 > 0:31:26to try and find lost treasures from days gone by,
0:31:26 > 0:31:29so, you'd find things from coins to buttons to pipes.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32We'll eventually be forming a Thames Museum
0:31:32 > 0:31:34in the way that we're going to contribute some of our finds
0:31:34 > 0:31:36as well as other members of the public.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39So, that's just actually got charity status at the moment. Wow!
0:31:39 > 0:31:41That's going to go up imminently. That's fantastic.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42Watch this space. What a wonderful thing.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44And what is it you do for a living
0:31:44 > 0:31:45when you're not larking around in the mud?
0:31:45 > 0:31:48I'm a graphic designer. So I design anything for print,
0:31:48 > 0:31:51so, it can be banners, posters, brochures and leaflets,
0:31:51 > 0:31:52that sort of thing.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Now, Steven, I believe you have to climb great heights
0:31:55 > 0:31:57to get on with your day job? I do, yes.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00It's not the most glamourous job in the world, but I'm a roofer.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02I have been for, what, 20 years now.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04OK. And I've found quite a few things underneath the eaves,
0:32:04 > 0:32:07as you sort of strip the roof off.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Roofers and builders, I suppose, in days gone by,
0:32:10 > 0:32:12they'd just throw things in and then tile over it.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Have you found anything particularly interesting?
0:32:14 > 0:32:15I have, yeah.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17I once found a 17th-century slating hammer
0:32:17 > 0:32:20with someone's initials engraved onto it.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24Brilliant! So, a detective, a mud larker, you guys are quite the team.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27I hope that it's a great, great buy for you all today.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29I think it's going to be quite competitive today.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Now, listen, you can't do any shopping without money,
0:32:32 > 0:32:35so, let me hand ?300 to you, Mark and Vip.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Simon and Steven, ?300 for you also.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Now, off you go. Very good luck to you both.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Listen, it's all about being macho and being muddy today,
0:32:44 > 0:32:48so, let's see them get down and dirty.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54All right, mud larkers, what are we going to be looking, Simon?
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Buried treasure. Early glass, if you can find some.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59I'd like to buy something relatively low in cost.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00Definitely early glass.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Something might catch my eye. I want to keep it low-cost.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06All right, teams, there are 60 minutes on the clock,
0:33:06 > 0:33:07and time starts now.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11OK, we've got one hour to go mud-larking, with no mud.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Ready for shopping? Yes. Yes, we are. Come on.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Right, where do you want to start?
0:33:20 > 0:33:25We want to go and see a few things, you know, quickly. Yeah, OK.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Right, lead the way.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Interesting tactics from the Reds.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Do the Blues have the same considered approach?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35That is a bit of mud-larking treasure, is it not?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37It is indeed, yes. Tell us what it is.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39I found one of these before. It's a cased gin bottle.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42So, these have been part of a set of maybe 12 in a wooden case.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Is that because it's shaped like that?
0:33:44 > 0:33:47It's designed to fit more in, so they don't wobble over.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49So, that's why they're called cased gin. Cased gin, yeah.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53OK. What are we looking for, to spot, you know, a genuine article?
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Bubbles, usually. Air bubbles in the way it's been free-blown.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Yeah. So, you can hold it up to the light.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03You might see that, yeah, you can see some bubbles in there. Yeah.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05You can see some creases where it's been hand-blown.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07I'm trying to read what the seal says.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09That's definitely applied lip, as well.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11What do you mean by "applied lip"?
0:34:11 > 0:34:14The lip was applied after. And dating to 18th century.
0:34:14 > 0:34:161820 because of the lip.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Oh, later? Later, then? 19th century.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21No, no, pre-1820. Pre-1820, why?
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Because of the lip. After that, the lip got more...
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Conical. Conical, yeah. Brilliant. Brilliant information, guys.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30I've got to say, this is fantastic. This is feeding my soul.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Are you happy it's genuine? Yeah, I'm happy it's genuine.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36All right, come on, guys, if you found this today, in the Thames,
0:34:36 > 0:34:38how much money are we looking at?
0:34:38 > 0:34:42I would say, if it didn't have a seal on, maybe, sort of, 50-80.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44But, as the seal might add value,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46then, we could be looking, maybe, 100.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50OK. Can we have a chat to you about the price of the bottle?
0:34:50 > 0:34:53It's up for 70. Yeah. But I'll take 50.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57You'll take 50? OK, is that the best? What about 40? 48.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Yeah, 48!
0:34:58 > 0:34:59THEY LAUGH
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Well, honestly, haven't you just been steam-rolled?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Have you bought it at 48?
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Yeah. First object we see, bizarrely, is related
0:35:06 > 0:35:08exactly to what you do as a passion.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11And we buy it within a few minutes. Excellent.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Well done, Blues. You've got your early glassware.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17These boys certainly know their stuff,
0:35:17 > 0:35:19and knowledge is power in this game.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23David, you're going to have an easy ride today. But will Caroline?
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Do you want to look down here?
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Maybe go for them? The tea set.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Do you have afternoon tea? Yes. Sometimes.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32I like a nice china set, if I'm going to. Do you?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34When was the last time you had a cup of tea in the afternoon?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36I invite you all the time. You never come!
0:35:36 > 0:35:38This looks like a nice little set here.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39There are six of them.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Originally, I think that would have been part of a 12-place setting
0:35:43 > 0:35:46with two sandwich plates, a milk, a sugar
0:35:46 > 0:35:50and sometimes a slop bowl which was for slopping out the tea.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51It looks nice. Very eye-catching. Good colour.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53You have to check, for a start, if it's perfect,
0:35:53 > 0:35:56because people do not want broken pots, usually,
0:35:56 > 0:35:59and the million-dollar question is, how much is it?
0:35:59 > 0:36:01We best ask our shy stallholder.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Hi there. Just interested in the tea set. How much are we looking at?
0:36:05 > 0:36:08I've got 39 on it, but I could let it go for 30.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11OK. Let me have a word with my friend over here. OK.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12OK, 30. What do you think?
0:36:12 > 0:36:14We said we were going to haggle hard.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15We were going to haggle hard.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18What would your lowest acceptable price to be?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Harder than that, Vip!
0:36:20 > 0:36:2124.95.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Forget your bedside manner, go for it!
0:36:24 > 0:36:27I'd let it go for 25. 25? 25, is the best, yeah.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31OK. I did haggle very hard, and he does seem like a nice chap, so...
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Are we having it? I think that's a sold.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34Yeah?
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Sold? Yeah, I'm happy with that. Excellent. Thank you, sir.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Thank you. Thanks very much. Cheers. Cheers, thank you. Well done!
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Hurray. Five minutes into the shop and you've bought. Yes!
0:36:43 > 0:36:45We should go for a cup of tea, shouldn't we?
0:36:45 > 0:36:48No! Not yet. Well-spotted.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Right. One down, two to go.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Well, the Reds aren't getting stuck in the mud.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55And the Blues aren't larking about, either.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58They're on the scent with their second item.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59There's a bronze censer there,
0:36:59 > 0:37:01which I like the look of. I like the workmanship in that.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04You say a bronze censer, you've been watching this show, haven't you?
0:37:04 > 0:37:07I do watch it from time to time, it has to be said.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Because he comes up with the technical terminology there.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11So, with it being a censer,
0:37:11 > 0:37:13does that make it a Japanese item or a Chinese item?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Looking at it, I would guess Chinese. That's pretty good
0:37:16 > 0:37:19because, strictly speaking, I think, if it was Japanese,
0:37:19 > 0:37:21it would be called a koro. OK. That's cool.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Do you know what it's used for?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25To burn smelly stuff!
0:37:25 > 0:37:26THEY LAUGH
0:37:26 > 0:37:28You're dead right! Yeah. Absolutely.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31I couldn't think of a more technical term. No. Do you know what?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34That's absolutely a perfect description, it burns smelly stuff.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36You've got the holes in the top to allow the smoke to come out.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39The thing I like about it is, you could actually use it today.
0:37:39 > 0:37:40You could pot pourri in it right now,
0:37:40 > 0:37:43just leave it in there, let the aromas come out. Yeah.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Now, Steven, how old is it? I don't think there's a lot of age to it.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48You don't? Because nothing's worn down.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51I've actually found one in the Thames, it's in my front room.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53You haven't? I have. Have you, really?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55You see, I... You two have got a natural eye here,
0:37:55 > 0:37:58and it's developed with experience. Because you talk about patination.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01You know instantly how to recognise real age.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04And you're right, that doesn't have any real age.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06How old do you think it is? Are we talking 20th-century?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08I think... What day is it today?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11I think it was made last Tuesday. Oh, really? That recent? OK, then.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Maybe we can see what she can come down to, it might give us an idea
0:38:14 > 0:38:15of whether we want to go for it. Yeah.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Well, you've got two beautiful ladies over there. Do your best.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22How much would your bronze censer be, at best?
0:38:22 > 0:38:23That's Mother's one.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Hello, Mother.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28I have got it up for...55.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Yeah. I could let you have it for 40.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Ooh, OK.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Maybe we could go down to 30, if possible?
0:38:34 > 0:38:3735? Almost there. Almost.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39How about a couple of quid more? 33?
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Yes, OK. Yeah? OK, got a deal.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42Cheers.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44I've done the deal, guys. I hope you don't mind.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46How much? 33. 33, great.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49A quick tip. Don't call women "Mother", right? She's her mother.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52No, seriously. If you're going to charm them, it doesn't work.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55I've tried it all. That one doesn't work.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56Seriously, well done, guys.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58It's smelling good, Blues.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Two in the bag, it must be the least muddy treasure hunt you've ever had.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Now, Reds, what's caught your eye?
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Do you like anything there? Yeah. I like them.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08I may not like the price. Right. That one's only 85.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11With your superior haggling skills, you could get in there for 25.
0:39:11 > 0:39:16Job done! That is not haggling. That's daylight robbery!
0:39:16 > 0:39:17So, you like that one? Yeah.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Excuse me. Could I ask how much the mother-of-pearl? Yeah.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23What would your lowest price on that be?
0:39:23 > 0:39:26It's got to be 70. That's the best I can do.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29That's quite... That's a 20% discount.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Yeah, which is a very good discount. It is.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35I don't know, maybe take a gamble on the mother-of-pearl?
0:39:35 > 0:39:39I did say that maybe I'd get seduced by something a bit shiny.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Well, that is a bit shiny.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Now, while we... There's some boxes on here.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47Do you want to look next door first, and can come back? Thank you.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Choosing a box appears to be tough-going for the Reds.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54Blues, are you using your knowledge to find your next item?
0:39:54 > 0:39:55Wow. Look at those.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58I say. He doesn't mess about, does he?
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Straight in there! They're awesome.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03How would you describe this, Simon?
0:40:03 > 0:40:04Er, a mantique.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07A mantique! Yeah. You have been watching the show!
0:40:07 > 0:40:09It is a mantique.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Fantastic.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13What would you do with them, Steve?
0:40:13 > 0:40:15I don't think it is broadcastable!
0:40:15 > 0:40:17THEY LAUGH
0:40:17 > 0:40:18They are quite cool. Yeah.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Something to think about, isn't it?
0:40:20 > 0:40:23At the halfway mark, it's 2-1 to the Blues.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25The pressure's on for the Reds.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27So, we're still looking at boxes, yeah?
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Yeah. Now here's a silver-topped little box.
0:40:31 > 0:40:341904. Cut-glass. Silver.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36That looks nice. What would it be used for?
0:40:36 > 0:40:38I was going to say, is that ticking your boxes? It is.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41I said, "mm", and he said it as well, so that's two "mms".
0:40:41 > 0:40:46I think two "mms" are good! What is the absolute death? 30, is it?
0:40:46 > 0:40:48It's silver, cut-glass. We are running out of time.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Maybe we have to leave it just for the moment, I think.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53OK. Well, we've got a few frontrunners now, so,
0:40:53 > 0:40:56we'll think about it. Bye. Thank you very much. Thanks very much.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Dr Vip's remaining calm but, whatever you prescribe,
0:41:00 > 0:41:02remember, you're on the clock.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05With that in mind, Blues, where are you up to with your final item?
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Great stall, though, don't you think? Yeah.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10How much money have we got left? Enough.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Come on, keep the momentum up, Blues.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14How much is enough?
0:41:14 > 0:41:17We must have over 200, I think. Have we? Yeah. All right.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21Actually, you have a whopping ?247.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Go and spend some money.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Now, Reds, are you boxing yourself into a corner?
0:41:26 > 0:41:28I think the boxes are taking our liking,
0:41:28 > 0:41:31and I think we just need to make a decision on one of them.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34And the first one we saw was quite nice.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36That's the mother-of-pearl one? The mother-of-pearl one,
0:41:36 > 0:41:40so, we might go back and see if we can wrestle the gentleman down.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42What did it come down to, 70? Mm. Yeah.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45The other one, the silver one, has got a really lovely
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Art Nouveau design. It's ?30.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49I don't know, it's your call.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52I know, I've completely changed my mind, I like, yes, the cheaper one.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55You like the cheaper one? OK. Let's do it.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56What made you change your mind?
0:41:56 > 0:41:58I think, listening to the auctioneer, I think,
0:41:58 > 0:42:01and I can see him doing... I'm not selling it, though.
0:42:01 > 0:42:02I know. I'm not selling it. He sold it to us.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05He sold it to us, though, yeah. Right, go and buy it, then.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07See if you can pshh-pshh. OK.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10I think that means, go and get a wee bit off the price, Reds.
0:42:10 > 0:42:15Very best would be 28. 28. OK.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Let me just...confer.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Shall we do it? Yeah. OK. Great.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Thank you very much. Pleasure, an absolute pleasure. OK, Cheers.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Yes. Well done.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Two down. Excellent.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31So, the Reds finally have a box.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33And it's two-all, with only 20 minutes left.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37The Blues have spotted some 18th-century tobacco tins.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Are these the kind of things that you might find in the river?
0:42:40 > 0:42:43I have found one. The one I found was Dutch, 18th century,
0:42:43 > 0:42:46and I wouldn't be surprised if that was around the same sort of time.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Were these things kept by sailors? Were they common amongst...
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Pipe tobacco. Everyone had a pipe
0:42:51 > 0:42:54and their tobacco had to go somewhere, so...
0:42:54 > 0:42:56But the quality in those would have meant they would have been held
0:42:56 > 0:43:00by a more prestige member of the, you know... Why is that?
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Because these are good quality, you think? Yeah.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04They're hand-engraved. They're brass.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06So it wouldn't have been the run-of-the-mill,
0:43:06 > 0:43:08otherwise we'd have found a lot more.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10OK, and are these the kind of things that somebody would decorate
0:43:10 > 0:43:14themselves, a bit like scrimshaw, you know, the sailors carved whales.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Yeah, sometimes a sailor would, yeah.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18What do you expect to get for that? 100, 150.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20As much as that? Depends on its rarity.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23What's your opinion? What do you think about these?
0:43:23 > 0:43:26I think...30, 50, 50 to 70.
0:43:26 > 0:43:27Let's get a price. OK.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30Hi, there. Can we just get a quick price on that one?
0:43:30 > 0:43:3270 to buy it, if you want it. 70? 70.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36So, we're talking 70 quid. Yeah. I mean, really, I'm going to have
0:43:36 > 0:43:38to bow to your expertise here.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40We want you to take the rap for something, if it all goes wrong!
0:43:40 > 0:43:43No! I refuse. I refuse!
0:43:43 > 0:43:45HE LAUGHS It's all down to you two.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47No, no, no. OK, I'll take the rap.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51I think it's worth about 100 but would people see the beauty in that?
0:43:51 > 0:43:52I think they would.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54What would make you feel happy? 50, 60 quid?
0:43:54 > 0:43:5650, I'd be, yeah, more than happy.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59Whilst the Blues negotiate a price,
0:43:59 > 0:44:01the Reds are going tea potty,
0:44:01 > 0:44:03and have returned to the tea service stall.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05So, we've got these two teapots.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08Yeah. We've heard good things about the one on the right,
0:44:08 > 0:44:09but we're worried it's a bit too damaged.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11That's an 18th-century teapot.
0:44:11 > 0:44:12I mean, it's a good thing. Chinese.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15Is that OK despite the damage? The spout's been taken off.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18It's been taken off and it's been stapled back together
0:44:18 > 0:44:22which, I think, just the art and the want to staple it
0:44:22 > 0:44:25makes it something that somebody's loved.
0:44:25 > 0:44:30But, you're dead right, any damage knocks the price enormously.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32And you definitely prefer that one over the one on the left.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35It's what you prefer. This is trying to be agateware,
0:44:35 > 0:44:37but it's put on with a transfer.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39That'll be late 19th century, I would think.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41That's a century earlier.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43Yeah. How much is this one?
0:44:43 > 0:44:45This is going to be more of a gamble.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47It would be a gamble at ?49, definitely. Definitely.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50Yeah, that's too much at 49. So, I think...
0:44:50 > 0:44:53I think we all agree that ?20 would be almost...
0:44:53 > 0:44:55almost a winner.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58The stallholder won't budge from ?28.
0:44:58 > 0:45:02So, you're both agreed? Yeah. Let's go. Good! Do the deal!
0:45:02 > 0:45:04Excellent. Sir. Thank you very much.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Well done, Reds, job done.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09So, Blues, it's all down to you.
0:45:09 > 0:45:11Can you get a good price for the tobacco tins?
0:45:11 > 0:45:13What would be your best for two?
0:45:13 > 0:45:15140. But that's it.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17It's a bit too much at the moment.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19I mean, I appreciate you coming down.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23David, any help, what do you think? Er, well... It's... It's a gamble.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25This is the one I think is more interesting, personally.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27So, decision time.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30Right, go for it. OK. Happy? Yeah. Shake his hand.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32?70. Thank you. Cheers, young man. Thank you.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35Well done. Three fabulous items.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38Fabulous. And five minutes left to spare.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40Let's have a coffee. Let's do it.
0:45:40 > 0:45:41BELL RINGS
0:45:41 > 0:45:43Right, teams, time is up!
0:45:46 > 0:45:48After the shopping comes the auction,
0:45:48 > 0:45:51and we've returned to Bellmans auction house in West Sussex.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55But, first, let's remind ourselves of what the Red team bought.
0:45:57 > 0:46:02First up, the Reds laid out ?25 for this 19th-century tea service.
0:46:03 > 0:46:08Next, ?28 was paid for this silver trinket box.
0:46:08 > 0:46:11And, finally, they're hoping a profit will be pouring in
0:46:11 > 0:46:15with this Chinese teapot, another ?28 paid.
0:46:15 > 0:46:19Mark and Vip, this is particularly thrilling, this section.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22I'll tell you why, because you left Caroline Hawley
0:46:22 > 0:46:24?219 of leftover lolly.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27And, I tell you what, I'm desperate, I don't know about you,
0:46:27 > 0:46:29to know what you blew it all on, Caroline.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31Or, did she? Please reveal your bonus buy.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34Ooh! Girlie, ha!
0:46:34 > 0:46:35A purse! OK.
0:46:35 > 0:46:39Not just any old purse. Silver, hallmarked, 1922.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41Look at this chainmail.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45Each single link is marked with a lion
0:46:45 > 0:46:48to say it's British sterling silver. And no breaks.
0:46:48 > 0:46:52It's gorgeous. Now, this was bought for, do you want to guess?
0:46:52 > 0:46:53Five grand!
0:46:53 > 0:46:54Ah... No!
0:46:54 > 0:46:57Very generous, Mark, very generous.
0:46:57 > 0:46:57?150.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59What do you think it will bring at auction?
0:46:59 > 0:47:04I would think just a little bit more than that, maybe 160, 170.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07It's definitely interesting. It's not something that I would jump to.
0:47:07 > 0:47:11I know Mark knows his handbags more than I do. Do you, Mark?
0:47:11 > 0:47:13But we're in your hands, I guess, Caroline.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15Well, it could be in yours.
0:47:15 > 0:47:16Pass it over.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Oh, it is quite heavy! Yeah.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20And, is this going to help us beat the Blue team?
0:47:20 > 0:47:24Well, I think if two ladies fall in love with this,
0:47:24 > 0:47:25it could be handbags at dawn.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28Hm. Handbags at dawn, indeed.
0:47:28 > 0:47:30The boys aren't completely convinced,
0:47:30 > 0:47:32but they can decide later.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35In the meantime, let's discuss the Blue team's three items.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37Let's have a little reminder.
0:47:39 > 0:47:43First up for the Blues at ?48, will this gin bottle be the tonic?
0:47:46 > 0:47:49Next up, this Chinese bronze censer burned a hole in their pockets.
0:47:49 > 0:47:50?33 paid.
0:47:52 > 0:47:57And finally, will this tobacco box be smoking hot? Bought for ?70.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01Well, Simon and Steven, after larking about at Epsom,
0:48:01 > 0:48:05you left David Harper ?149.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08What did you spend it on? OK, boys, I think you're going to like this.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10Particularly the condition of it,
0:48:10 > 0:48:12bearing in mind what you two do for a hobby.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15Mm. Yep. Looks like it has been done up yesterday. Exactly.
0:48:15 > 0:48:16You've nailed it.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18Grab a hold of that.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20Look at the shape of the body. What is it? It looks like a bottle.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23Of course it is. Yeah. It's pub advertising.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25It's memorabilia. It's really fun.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27It is in dreadful condition,
0:48:27 > 0:48:29I don't think you're ever going to restore him.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32And it's a great thing, it would have stood on a bar,
0:48:32 > 0:48:37I don't know, 1930s, 1950s maybe, something like that.
0:48:37 > 0:48:38Are you not loving this?
0:48:38 > 0:48:40Um... No.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42Come on, Steven, if you'd dug that up in the mud near the Thames,
0:48:42 > 0:48:44you would be delighted. I think I'd throw it back.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46Oh! I can't believe it.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49Hand it over to this man. He's got much more style and sophistication.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52Yeah, I like it. I like advertising. How much did you pay?
0:48:52 > 0:48:5355. 55.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56And do you reckon that's going to make a profit? I don't know.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58It is a bit of a gamble, yeah? It's always a gamble.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00I love buying things that are gambles.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03We'll see if they have the "bottle" to gamble in a bit.
0:49:03 > 0:49:06But now, Jonathan Pratt, the auctioneer, is good to go.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08JP, take it away.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12Lads, here we are, we're in the auction.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14And, tell me, how are you feeling?
0:49:14 > 0:49:18Excited. It's not like I expected at all, but it is interesting.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20A bit more buzz than you expected? Definitely, yeah.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22Very busy auction room. Vip, how do you feel?
0:49:22 > 0:49:25We are going to be making some money!
0:49:25 > 0:49:26Let's start at the top.
0:49:26 > 0:49:28Time to find out how the china goes under the hammer.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31Late 19th-century Clifton China porcelain tea service,
0:49:31 > 0:49:34complete for six, cups and saucers, etc.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37And the bid's with me starting at ?10.
0:49:37 > 0:49:38Ooh. ?10, I'll take 12, though.
0:49:38 > 0:49:4110 is bid. 12 is bid.
0:49:41 > 0:49:4415, 18. OK, watch it climb.
0:49:44 > 0:49:4618 standing. 20.
0:49:46 > 0:49:4825. 25.
0:49:48 > 0:49:52No, she says. ?25 is bid. Looking for 30 now.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54?25, looking for 30. Come on, come on.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57?25, I'll take 28 if it helps?
0:49:57 > 0:49:5825 here. ?25 is getting it.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01Any more at ?25? Surely worth a little bit more.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04?25, and selling, fair warning at 25.
0:50:05 > 0:50:06Oh, can you believe it?
0:50:06 > 0:50:11You paid on the money. ?25 paid and it made ?25.
0:50:11 > 0:50:12Zero made, zero lost.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14Item number two is our trinket box.
0:50:14 > 0:50:18Birmingham, 1904, this lovely little daisy flower on the top,
0:50:18 > 0:50:19embossed on the top.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22With me, starting at 20 I've got.
0:50:22 > 0:50:2525, 30, 35.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27Yes! 40, who's going to go 40?
0:50:27 > 0:50:29Come on, lads! Are you going 40?
0:50:29 > 0:50:3140. 42.
0:50:31 > 0:50:32I need 45 now.
0:50:32 > 0:50:35That's 42 commission, they won't believe me, it's 42.

0:50:45 > 0:50:46Looking for 50.
0:50:46 > 0:50:47?45.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49GAVEL BANGS
0:50:49 > 0:50:51Gentlemen, you've just made ?17. Yes!
0:50:51 > 0:50:53Very well done.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55It's party time.
0:50:55 > 0:50:56Here comes...
0:50:56 > 0:51:00our broken-spout china teapot.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02A nice antique piece this, a nice antique piece this.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05I guess you've all seen it, straight in at ?20.
0:51:05 > 0:51:08Straight in at ?20, I'll take 5, though.
0:51:08 > 0:51:10With me at ?20. Who's got 5 for it?
0:51:10 > 0:51:13On the net at 25, and I'm out at 25.
0:51:13 > 0:51:1530 in the room now, come on.
0:51:15 > 0:51:1925 on the net. 25 on the net, looking for 30, now.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21Any bids in the room at 30? Surely worth another bid?
0:51:21 > 0:51:23It's 25, internet bidder. Just a bit more!
0:51:23 > 0:51:26They know what they're looking at, it's ?25. Any more?
0:51:26 > 0:51:29Selling to the internet, then, at ?25, fair warning everyone.
0:51:29 > 0:51:30GAVEL BANGS
0:51:30 > 0:51:32Oh! Can't believe it! Oh, no!
0:51:32 > 0:51:34It's lost just ?3.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37But it means that, overall, you're plus 14.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40Now, it comes down to Caroline's item.
0:51:40 > 0:51:42What do you think? I don't know.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44It would be nice to finish in profit, but...
0:51:44 > 0:51:46It's a bit boring, isn't it, not going for that handbag?
0:51:46 > 0:51:48OK, tell me, I need a definite answer.
0:51:48 > 0:51:53OK. We'll go..."no". It's a "no"? 100% "no"?
0:51:53 > 0:51:54Caroline?
0:51:55 > 0:51:57There's no pressure on me now!
0:51:57 > 0:52:00It's a 100% "no" from you, you're not going to the bonus buy.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02Let's see how it gets on.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05A silver mesh purse, London 1922, nice good size, this one.
0:52:05 > 0:52:09I've got ?65 to start, 65.
0:52:09 > 0:52:1270 and 5, 80 and 5, 90 and 5,
0:52:12 > 0:52:14110, and 20.
0:52:14 > 0:52:16130.
0:52:16 > 0:52:19Ooh, we're nearly there. 120, one more bid, sir.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22130. 130 on the net. Go on! 140.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25140's bid. Against you, internet, 140.
0:52:25 > 0:52:26Any more, net?
0:52:26 > 0:52:28150 on the net. No, he says.
0:52:28 > 0:52:31150 internet bid now. ?150 it is.
0:52:31 > 0:52:35Caroline, you're a star! I'm selling, last chance, 150 all done.
0:52:35 > 0:52:40I cannot believe it! It's made ?150, exactly what Caroline paid for it.
0:52:40 > 0:52:43So, in the end, it didn't really make a difference,
0:52:43 > 0:52:46no profit, no loss. So, it means you have come away from Bargain Hunt
0:52:46 > 0:52:48with ?14. You will go away with folding money.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51Can you believe it? But I need something from you.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53I need you to promise me you won't say a word to the Blues.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56Promise. We won't. Promise? Thank you ever so much.
0:52:56 > 0:52:57Caroline, I can't believe this!
0:52:59 > 0:53:01?60 with me them, who's got 5?
0:53:08 > 0:53:10Steven, Simon, David.
0:53:10 > 0:53:13All in a row, and all looking pretty excited.
0:53:13 > 0:53:15How are you feeling? Yeah, all right, yeah.
0:53:15 > 0:53:16Just can't wait for it to start now.
0:53:16 > 0:53:19Are you quite relaxed about the whole thing? Yeah.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21Quite a cool character, I tell you, I hope it'll rub off on me!
0:53:21 > 0:53:23How about you, Simon, how are you feeling? Yeah, excited.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26A bit apprehensive as well, because I don't want to make a loss.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29Even though you were in the care of THE David Harper...
0:53:29 > 0:53:31Oh, thanks for the build-up! Here we go!
0:53:31 > 0:53:33..how could you be apprehensive?
0:53:33 > 0:53:36Now, the next item under the hammer is your soda glass gin bottle.
0:53:36 > 0:53:40The Blankenheym Nolet green soda glass gin bottle.
0:53:40 > 0:53:44Bids on the book, I've got ?20.
0:53:44 > 0:53:45?20. Who's got 5? 25.
0:53:45 > 0:53:47That's me out now at ?25.
0:53:47 > 0:53:49I've got to go for 30 now.
0:53:49 > 0:53:51Any more interest? Going to come in on the net now.
0:53:51 > 0:53:52?25.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54Interesting gin bottle, this is. ?25.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56Come on, will him on, will him on. Come on.
0:53:56 > 0:53:5825, fair warning.
0:53:58 > 0:54:00GAVEL BANGS Oh! ?25.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02Cheap! For nothing.
0:54:02 > 0:54:06Well, ?25 hammer price means that you've lost 23.
0:54:06 > 0:54:07I thought it would do better.
0:54:07 > 0:54:09Yeah. All right. Not the end of the world.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11We can claw it back, perhaps, with our senser.
0:54:11 > 0:54:1420th century Chinese bronze senser, after the antique,
0:54:14 > 0:54:15very nice quality.
0:54:15 > 0:54:18?30 I have, ?30 I have. Who's got 5? 30.
0:54:18 > 0:54:2135. I'm out now at ?35. 40 somewhere else?
0:54:21 > 0:54:23It's ?35 here. Go on, go on, JP!
0:54:23 > 0:54:24Come on, ?40. It's 35 here.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26It's worth more than this. Come on, ?35.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29Someone else go 40, where are you? Come on, 40.
0:54:29 > 0:54:31Yes! Oh, gosh, he's got it on the left with 40.
0:54:31 > 0:54:33It's just one at a time now. I'm working hard here.
0:54:33 > 0:54:35One more bid, 45.
0:54:35 > 0:54:39?40 it is, selling 40, then. It's on the left at ?40, fair warning.
0:54:39 > 0:54:40GAVEL BANGS
0:54:40 > 0:54:43That's all right. Marvellous! ?40 plus seven.
0:54:43 > 0:54:44You needed that profit.
0:54:44 > 0:54:46It means that you are still under, you're minus 16,
0:54:46 > 0:54:49but we could claw it all back with our tobacco tin.
0:54:49 > 0:54:50Let's see what happens.
0:54:50 > 0:54:53A bronze tobacco box, 18th century, Dutch, nicely decorated.
0:54:53 > 0:54:56Popular lot, this, well, my estimate's gone, anyway.
0:54:56 > 0:54:5955, 75, 95. Yes!
0:54:59 > 0:55:01?95 to start! 95.
0:55:01 > 0:55:03I have to start at 110.
0:55:03 > 0:55:05?110. Looking for 120. It's a nice example, this.
0:55:05 > 0:55:08?110 with me. Surely it wants to go, one more bid?
0:55:08 > 0:55:10Really well. It's ?110.
0:55:10 > 0:55:14Internet's quiet now. Fair warning, I'm selling at ?110!
0:55:14 > 0:55:15GAVEL BANGS
0:55:15 > 0:55:17110! 110!
0:55:17 > 0:55:20That means you've made a profit of ?40 on the tobacco tin,
0:55:20 > 0:55:21your favourite item.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23And, overall... And it's still cheap!
0:55:23 > 0:55:26Yeah. You have a profit of ?24, can you believe it? There we go.
0:55:26 > 0:55:30?24 overall! Marvellous. I'm so pleased for you.
0:55:30 > 0:55:33But it doesn't stop there, because will you or will you not go with
0:55:33 > 0:55:34David's bonus buy?
0:55:34 > 0:55:37It's up to you, Simon! It's up to me? Well, you don't like it.
0:55:37 > 0:55:41I think it might be a bit rich for 55, so, I think we'll say no.
0:55:41 > 0:55:44Thank you very much... No, no. Thank you, guys, goodbye!
0:55:44 > 0:55:45THEY LAUGH
0:55:45 > 0:55:48Well, "goodbye" could be the word of the day,
0:55:48 > 0:55:50because it could be a good buy or it could not.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52Let's find out if you've made the right decision.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54We have this painted metal Whitbread pale ale advertising figure
0:55:54 > 0:55:59inscribed, "Good for him and good for you since 1742".
0:55:59 > 0:56:01?25 on the book, at ?25.
0:56:01 > 0:56:0425. 30 waving on my right, at 30.
0:56:04 > 0:56:06Now, where's a fiver? Come on, one more bid. Go on!
0:56:06 > 0:56:0930 on my right. We need several more bids. Come on, ?30!
0:56:09 > 0:56:12Selling at 30, it's going on the right at ?30.
0:56:12 > 0:56:13Last chance and selling, all done.
0:56:13 > 0:56:15GAVEL BANGS
0:56:15 > 0:56:18Boys, you made the right decision. It made ?30.
0:56:18 > 0:56:22It would have been a loss of 25, and you would have been ?1 under!
0:56:22 > 0:56:25Oh, there you go! Good decision. You are ?24 over.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28I tell you what, that was a roller-coaster.
0:56:28 > 0:56:29We got it. Very well done.
0:56:29 > 0:56:32Finishing Bargain Hunt with folding money is no mean feat.
0:56:32 > 0:56:35And, of course, it's not a lot of money,
0:56:35 > 0:56:38but it could be a winning sum. Let's hope so.
0:56:38 > 0:56:39Please don't say anything to the Reds,
0:56:39 > 0:56:42we are just about to find out who won and who lost.
0:56:52 > 0:56:56Well, here we are, Reds and Blues, it's crunch time.
0:56:56 > 0:56:58I have some good news for both of you.
0:56:58 > 0:57:01Both teams are in profit, OK!
0:57:01 > 0:57:02THEY CHEER
0:57:02 > 0:57:04I feel a little bit of a competitive edge.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06THEY LAUGH
0:57:06 > 0:57:08I wonder who came out in front. Let me tell you there's a tenner in it.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10ALL: No!
0:57:11 > 0:57:13And our runners-up today...
0:57:13 > 0:57:14are the Reds!
0:57:14 > 0:57:17THEY LAUGH
0:57:17 > 0:57:18Look at these boys.
0:57:18 > 0:57:20Let's turn to you, Reds.
0:57:20 > 0:57:22It means so much! Don't, don't!
0:57:22 > 0:57:26Mark and Vip, look at this man. You did really well, come on.
0:57:26 > 0:57:27But you did enjoy yourselves
0:57:27 > 0:57:29because you had great reactions during the auction.
0:57:29 > 0:57:32Yes, it was our first auction and, actually,
0:57:32 > 0:57:34very, very tense and exciting at the same time.
0:57:34 > 0:57:36Yeah, that's the way to do it, in style, on Bargain Hunt.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39Let me give you some money because I have a wee bit of folding,
0:57:39 > 0:57:40?10. Lovely.
0:57:40 > 0:57:44And then I have got four coins. So, split down the middle,
0:57:44 > 0:57:45seven quid, a couple of pints? Yeah.
0:57:45 > 0:57:47I suppose in London that's only one!
0:57:47 > 0:57:48THEY LAUGH
0:57:48 > 0:57:50But very well done!
0:57:50 > 0:57:52Let's turn to our winners today, Simon and Steven.
0:57:52 > 0:57:56Very well done. A tenner in it, as I said, and it's ?24 profit.
0:57:56 > 0:57:59Let me hand over your money, because I have got two tens for you
0:57:59 > 0:58:02and then, just like the boys, they had slightly more folding stuff,
0:58:02 > 0:58:05sorry about that, we've got, oh, there we are, four coins. Excellent.
0:58:05 > 0:58:08So, you had a great time? Lovely, yeah, fantastic. Yeah, fantastic.
0:58:08 > 0:58:10Really good fun! Me too!
