0:00:03 > 0:00:06Today, we're in London's Notting Hill.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Not only made famous by the movie of the same name,
0:00:10 > 0:00:13but it also feels a lot like being in one.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17And, today, we'll be screening our own production,
0:00:17 > 0:00:22boasting thrills and spills, comedy and drama.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54The Portobello Road has featured in the supporting casts
0:00:54 > 0:00:58of many great British films over the years,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01but its starring role has to be this fabulous street market.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Just remember that our teams have got £300
0:01:05 > 0:01:09and just one hour in which to buy three priceless objects.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Let's have a look at the forthcoming attractions...
0:01:13 > 0:01:16..including improbable plot twists...
0:01:16 > 0:01:17You can't go back on a handshake, can you?
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- I don't think I can. - I feel bad for this. I feel bad.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23..far-fetched titles...
0:01:23 > 0:01:24I'm going to call you the decision-maker.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- You're the decision-maker?- Yeah. - The decision-maker has...
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- And the captain. - You are the captain!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33..and, of course, a Hollywood ending.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- At 40. 45.- Ah! The internet! - Can't quite believe that.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- I feel I'm going to collapse. - LAUGHTER
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- £45.- Yeah! - SHE LAUGHS
0:01:43 > 0:01:46But before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Now, for our Red team today, we have Dan and Holly,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51and for the Blues, we have Rufus and Rory.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello. - How are you?- Very well.- Good.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Now, Dan, tell me how you met.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Yeah. So, a couple of years ago, we met at a music festival,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00and Holly actually pitched next to me by coincidence,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- and we've been together ever since. - Have you?- Yeah.- How long is that?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Two years, is it?- Bit more.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Two and a half.- Bit more. Sorry, I got it wrong.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Do you ever sing from the same hymn sheet?- Yeah.- Two and a half?
0:02:10 > 0:02:11I think that's it.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14And you are, what, a fitness trainer?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Yeah, personal training. - Personal trainer?- Yeah.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- So I go to people's houses. - I could use you, frankly.- Yeah?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20At the end of the shopping, we'll have a meet up...
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- Do a workout together.- ..see if you can give me a little tip or two.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- We will.- Holly, you work for a charity, Starlight.- I do, yes.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- I'm a wish granter.- A wish granter.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31So, I grant wishes for seriously and terminally ill children...
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Marvellous. - ..which is a really lovely job.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Very rewarding job, I should think.- Yeah.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Now, as well as the two of you,
0:02:36 > 0:02:40there is a third mystery person in your relationship, is that right?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- There is. Howard is the...- Howard. - ..third man in our relationship.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- He's a man?- He's a man.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- He's a budgie. - SHE LAUGHS
0:02:47 > 0:02:48We should mention that bit.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Howard the budgie. - Howard the budgie.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52How did he come into your lives?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54When we moved in together, we decided we wanted a pet,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57and a budgie seemed like the sensible option.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00So, if Howard becomes ill, we, of course, have our two vets,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Rufus and Rory, who will no doubt be able to treat the budgie.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Is that right? - Absolutely, yeah. Daily.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- We see budgies all the time. - I'm sure you do.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- You major in budgies, don't you? - Yeah.- It's my speciality.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Rory, what's the most interesting animal you've ever treated?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- We get spiders, we get iguanas, snakes...- Iguanas?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Iguanas, yeah. - What was wrong with your iguana?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Well, we had one with a broken leg, which was a bit of a nightmare,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22but we can treat them. It's good. It's lovely.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- It's really nice to see a range of animals.- Wonderful.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- And you're about to qualify? - Yeah, I qualify in four months,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- which I'm really looking forward to. - Yeah.- Pretty nervous.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- Got some big exams coming up, but, yeah, should be good.- Oh, Rufus, that sounds worrying.- I know.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Are you getting a bit of a tip from the big man?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- I actually still give him tips. - THEY LAUGH
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Definitely, definitely giving him tips still, but, yeah.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I think we're going to have a great show.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43It's going to be very exciting, but you will need a bit of money.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- £300, I think.- And I've got 300. - Excellent. Thank you.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Same for us, as well, please. - I certainly have got 300 for you.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- Thank you.- Off you go. Have a great time.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Thank you.- Thank you. - What on earth are they going to buy?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Our experts will be helping not one, but two sets of teams today.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Orbiting with the Reds is Bargainaut Thomas Plant.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Boxing clever with the Blues?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10The gloves are off with Natasha Raskin.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13What are we going to spend it on?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I'm thinking something that you put in a house.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Something striking. A lamp, a vase.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20We're both sportsmen, and some sporting memorabilia
0:04:20 > 0:04:23is starting to sell well. I think that'd be really good.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Silverware, cos I think that holds value quite well.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- Yeah, good idea.- A bit of silver.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- Maybe something you wouldn't normally see on Bargain Hunt. Maybe something a bit odd.- OK.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- WHISTLE BLOWS - Well, let's go. Come on, guys.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- Come on. - So, the pressure's on. Or is it?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Quite chilled out. I think we've got it in the bag,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45so maybe there's no need for stress.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- I think we should just go. - Do you know who your opposition is?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- You're up against Thomas Plant. - Quite.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52I don't wish to alarm you, Blues,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55but Mr Plant already has his mitts on something.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I like the labels for the booze.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- How much are they together? - They are £30.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Would they be appealing to anyone? - They are quite cool, actually.- Yeah.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- They are different, aren't they? - There's six of them there.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- Do you like a spirit?- We do.- We do. - We like a tipple now and again.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12There you are. Let's just get out three.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14We can see what they are. So, I've got bourbon.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- I've got cognac.- You've got cognac. - And port.- And port.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Ooh, I do like port.- Really?- Yeah.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20My mum got me drinking port quite young, so...
0:05:20 > 0:05:23THEY LAUGH Me, too!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26They're made in Sweden. Sporrongs is the maker.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27I just think they're unique.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- I've not seen anything like it before.- No.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31And like you said, it's something that's a bit different
0:05:31 > 0:05:33to what you'd normally have in your home.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Shall we have a think about it? - Yeah.- We're not in a hurry yet.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- So, good start to shopping. - Good start.- You like them.- Yeah.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40£30. It's a fiver each.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- It's not bad at all. - We'll have a think.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- We'll have a think. - They're going to be here.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50And they may well be back around last orders.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Anything immediately jumping out at you?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I like the look of the door knocker to begin with.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I think that's a really good thing. Why did you like it so much?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I think it's got really piercing eyes, and I think,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01maybe, obviously, the animal theme runs quite strong with us.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I actually think that would have quite good appeal
0:06:04 > 0:06:08in an auction house because door knockers are quite collectable.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Now, what do you reckon about age? Let's have a look at the back.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13The back's not really giving much away, to be honest.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15But, obviously, there's a bit of corrosion there,
0:06:15 > 0:06:16so it must be quite old.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I think it's difficult to mock that up in such a fashion.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- Yeah, definitely.- I think that looks like it's got a wee bit of age.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Shall we ask how much it is?- Yeah. Why not?- Because I'm dying to know.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Hello, sir.- Hello.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Could you tell us how much you have on your interesting door knocker?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- £50.- £50? OK. Maybe, in the spirit of the game,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34we could ask for a wee bit of negotiation.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Does anyone want to take the lead on that?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Yeah, I might hit you a little bit lower than that. Maybe think...
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Maybe £20?- I think you're going far too low for 20.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- I'd go down to 45 for you.- £45.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I mean, it's a good deal, it's a cool thing.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- I genuinely think it will catch people's eye.- It is different.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- It caught your eye, anyway. - Yeah, definitely.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Very piercing. Very piercing.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- It's an animal-related item. - Looks into your soul.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Exactly. It fits.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- I think we can say thank you ever so much.- Thank you very much.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Thank you.- And we've got one item off the mark.- Awesome.- Perfect.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Let's move on because time is ticking.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07So, go! Grab it and go!
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Our vets are off the mark,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12and the Reds are asking all the right questions.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Is this a vase?- It is a vase, Holly. - Yeah?- You're quite right.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19But I thought there might be another use for it or something.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22No, no, it's a purely decorative item. It is fabulous.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- I wonder if that's in our price tag. - How much is this?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- £140.- 140? OK. That is in.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Right. So, what did you like about it when you saw it?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34It caught my eye. It stood out, and that's the sort of thing
0:07:34 > 0:07:35- we're looking for. - It does, doesn't it?
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- You wanted a striking piece. - Where do you think it's from?- Italy.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- Yes. Your guess?- I think it looks a bit more oriental.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Go with Holly on this one.- Oriental?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I think it's Chinese 1920s, I would have thought.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47And this is called cloisonne.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I think it's got a lot going for it. It's showy.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- That's what you were after. - It's ticking all my boxes.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53It's ticking all your boxes.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- And it comes with a stand, as well.- It does.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- I like the stand.- You like the stand more than the vase!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- I'm sold on the stand. I'd buy that. - I mean...- The wooden oriental stand?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- What's your thoughts? - My thing was, if I like it,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- someone else will like it. - There we go.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- Someone else might want it. - Really good. A really good thought.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Start negotiation on price, do you reckon?- Shall we see?
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Go on, then.- What's the best price you can do on this?- 110.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Could you go 100?- 110. I'm sorry.- OK. 110.- Yeah?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Are you going to do it?- 110? There we go.- Well done, you.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Shake his hand.- Shall we shake? - Thank you very much.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Big-spending start, you lot.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Awesome. Come on, guys. Let's go.- Let's go.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Meanwhile, Natasha's been on a solo rummage.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Before you run off with the knocker,
0:08:30 > 0:08:34I just headed back because I just saw the coolest thing on that stall.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36You might hate it. You might love it.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37- I just want to show it to you. - Show us.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40It's such an interesting little watercolour.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Now, when you were learning veterinary medicine,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46did they teach you to hypnotise the animals as anaesthetic?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Unfortunately not. That would be pretty cool.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49That would have been cool,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51cos that's exactly what's happening here.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Looks Continental. It's signed FZ or something.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Dated 1928, so that interwar period.- Yeah.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Here, you've got the doctor with his big, pointy moustache
0:09:00 > 0:09:03and his excellent look hypnotising this patient.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Look at the colour of him. Look at the colour of him!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Doesn't look like he's enjoying it. - So, what's broken there?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Tell me which bone is broken. - The tibia.- The tibia's broken.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Gosh, they know their stuff.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15And look at this wee naughty doggie coming up and licking up the blood.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- It's got such appeal, but does it appeal to you?- It's got character.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Yeah, it's really cool. - I like it. It's kind of creepy.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- I quite like it. - Are you into the macabre?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Yeah, I like it. - Yeah, it's just odd.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26It's not something you'd see anywhere.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Now, the stallholder's price on it is 40 quid.- OK.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29I reckon I could get him down a wee bit,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31but he told me that he really likes it,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33so it might not have a lot of movement on it. What do you think?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36If I could get that for 30 quid, would you be...?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- We would definitely be keen, I'd say.- I think so, yeah.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40If you could get it down a little bit, that'd be great.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- I'll try my best.- Unique. - Perfect.- So, bear with me. OK.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45So, Natasha's off to work her magic,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48but what IS a good price for such an odd daub?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- What are you thinking, price-wise? - The guy's asking 40.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52I'm not sure I'd want to pay that.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- I don't think I'd want to pay more than 20.- That's quite a lot. Well, I think possibly
0:09:56 > 0:09:57we could stretch to, like, 25, 30,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00but I think even that's going to be pushing it a little bit.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05- And I will come back. OK, boys...- Here we go.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Were you keen at £40? - We weren't.- We weren't, no.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- You weren't keen at £40? - We said max 30, 35-ish.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Max 30, 35.- Yeah. - I tell you what, then.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I've just shaken hands with the gentleman.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Awkward.- I don't know what to do! - THEY LAUGH
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- You said you were OK at 40! - Yeah, yeah, that's fine. It's fine.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Oh, you can go back and you can say you weren't happy at 40.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28"Would you do it for 35?" But he won't do it for any lower.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Won't do it any lower? - He won't do it any lower.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31- I'm not convinced for 40.- I'm not.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Too late now!- OK. What do we do?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Well, you can't go back on a handshake, can you?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- I don't think I can. - I feel bad for this. I feel bad.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I think, if you went for 40, you'd really be throwing us under the bus there, but...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Oh, come on. - There is a dog in there.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- There is.- Shall we take it?- Do it for 40. Go on.- Yeah, do it for 40.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Well...- Just for you, cos we don't want to embarrass you.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50On national telly!
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Tell you what, not only was this on the line,
0:10:52 > 0:10:55my whole blinking reputation here was going there!
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We'll take it.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Looks like Thomas is pushing his luck, too.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Guys, do you want to come in? I've found something.- What's this?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Well, this is a shell case.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11It's got an NII catapult. So, it's military. Dated 1939.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I don't know what sort of catapult or box it would be for.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Some research needs to be done into this...- Yeah.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18..to find out what it is.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- You're not giving it any love, are you?- No, I'm not.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23This is the type of thing I would use for storage.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Yeah, in a funky flat. It's not unattractive.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27I suppose it's a bit of a talking point.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29It is a talking point, although it depends...
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- It all depends on the price of that one, I suppose.- It's...
0:11:31 > 0:11:36- How much is it, sir?- 35.- £35.- 35. - It's not unreasonable.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I don't love it, but I've already spoken a lot, so...
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- I'm not a huge fan of that item, myself.- OK, no worries.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43All right. OK.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46They've steadfastly resisted Thomas's pitch.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Right, we've been shopping for about 20 minutes now.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- You've got one item.- Yeah.- Let's go find some more.- Let's go.- Let's go.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54So, you didn't like my shell case. I don't know why.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I don't know if many people would want to buy it.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- We need to rein you in.- Rein me in.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Stop me from buying things like that.- Yeah.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Let it lie, Thomas.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Now, Natasha's about to broach one of her favourite subjects.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Did it occur to you that you could buy a bit of jewellery?
0:12:09 > 0:12:10I have no idea about anything jewellery.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Yeah, I'm not going to lie -
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I'm not really sold on the whole jewellery thing.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16You're not sold on jewellery full stop?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- I think we pass on jewellery. - I think we pass. Sorry.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I know we keep going against what you're saying. You're not happy.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- I was lumped with two men today. Can you believe it?- Sorry about that.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Our experts are struggling a bit today,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31but with time running out, the Reds are having a rethink.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33We can always run back up and get the little drink thing.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- We've got our backups - the drink labels.- Yeah.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- I quite want to buy the drinks labels.- Right, done.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Let's do it. - Let's do it. Go on. Go on.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Sounds like our decision-maker has spoken.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45This way. This way. Come on.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Quick. Come on, Dan. Show us your fitness skills.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- Quick.- Go, go, go, go. - We've got to buy now.- Hello.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56- We're back again.- £40.- £40 now? - THEY LAUGH
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Haven't been gone that long, have we?
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Remind me what we said before.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- Was it 30?- 25, was it?- Sadly.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- And that is the best you can do? - It is.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- It's the lowest price for this one? - OK.- I'm happy with them.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Are you happy with them? - I think buy.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10We're going to go. You've got a deal.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- We'll take them off your hands. - Would you like them giftwrapped?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- No, we don't need that. - THEY LAUGH
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Come on, let's go.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21That makes the score 2-2 with just ten minutes left.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23The Blues, meanwhile,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26have decided that photography might be their thing.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Anything that you particularly like?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- I quite like the look of this one here.- Yeah.- OK.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33We've got a name on it there, Sanderson,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36the maker of the actual wooden element of the camera, not the lens.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40It's got those nice bellows. They look to be in nice order.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- It collapses into its original case. - Looks beautiful.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Am I selling it to you? - Yeah, absolutely.- Definitely.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- I don't think it needs any selling. - OK. You're saying you'd buy it.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Yeah.- How much would you spend on it?- Oh, maybe about...
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- Well, as little as possible.- Yeah? - How much is the price on it?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- The original price is £160.- £160.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- OK, that's quite steep, but I think...- Could we get you lower?
0:14:00 > 0:14:01We can go lower. We can go lower than that.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04We're going to throw a big one here. Can we go as low as 100?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I can do £110.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- The thing is is that I made a bit of a rash decision.- Yeah.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13And I bought a wild, medical watercolour without your permission.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- It happened.- Keep bringing it up.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17You know, we're going to have to go through therapy,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19and I'm willing to pay for those sessions.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- THEY LAUGH - But are you willing to pay £110
0:14:21 > 0:14:23for this camera? That's what it boils down to.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- I think so.- I love it. I like it. - I like it. It's beautiful.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Yeah, I really like it. - You know what I'd do.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- We don't even need to listen to you. - I'd just shake hands, you know.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- That's how I play the game, isn't it?- Perfect. Done. Thank you.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I'm going to join in, too. It's our final item.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Now, with just a few minutes left, Dan may be about to have his say.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45I like this one. I like this one a lot.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- What do you reckon about this? - I like it.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- It's something different?- I actually really like it.- It's a nice piece.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- I think Tom's going to hate it, though.- Tom? Tom!
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Yes?- What do you reckon about this? Do you like this?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57What did you think I'd say about this?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00I thought you'd say the catapult would be better than this, maybe.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Ouch!- No, come on. I think this is really decorative.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- How much is it?- It's £38, this one. - It's your cup of tea.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- This is mine, not yours.- All right. - Yeah.- I agree with you, though.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Do you? Are you with me? - I think it could sell.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12I think it's a nice piece.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- It fits all right. - THEY LAUGH
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- It's not an improvement. - It's not? No?
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- Is it going to be that old?- No. - Is this going to be a tourist piece?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Doesn't look too old.- Doesn't look too old, no. You can see...
0:15:23 > 0:15:25You know, it doesn't look like an old piece of wood, this.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27May I offer you 20?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- As it's a windy day, I'll give in. - THEY CHEER
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Sold.- Sold? - Well, it's an ill wind and all that.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- If you're going to do it, shake the man's hand.- Thank you.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Thank you, sir. - All right.- Got a deal.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Right, teams, your 60 minutes are up.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- It's better than the catapult box. - Yeah.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- This is better than the catapult box.- I'm going.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50With shopping time over, it's now time to find out
0:15:50 > 0:15:54whether the auction can string some profits together for today's teams.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57We're off to Catherine Southon's auction room in Surrey,
0:15:57 > 0:16:01but first, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Holly's box-ticking cloisonne vase for £110.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09The made-in-Sweden decanter labels for £30.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16Dan's definitely-not-expert-approved tribal mask for £20.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- You had a good shop, didn't you? - We did. We had a very good shop.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- And you spent a reasonable amount of money.- We did.- Yeah.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- £160?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Leaving that man with 140. - You know I wanted you to buy this.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- It is the... - SHE LAUGHS
0:16:31 > 0:16:36- It is the Royal Navy catapult container.- Lovely.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- That was your favourite, wasn't it?- Yeah.- It was.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- You really liked this, didn't you? - You loved it.- I hated it!
0:16:41 > 0:16:43THEY LAUGH No home should be without one.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Yeah, wow.- It just doesn't look in the best condition. I don't know.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- It just looks like something you'd find in your loft.- Yeah.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54It's 1939. It's a bit of militaria. It's naval. It's interesting.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- I had £140.- Mm.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- It didn't cost £140.- Good. - Thank goodness for that!
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Yeah, that's all right, then. How much?- £28.- Ooh.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- OK.- That's all right. - That's not too bad.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07That's much better than we thought.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10We'll see if it catapults the Reds into profit later on.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Now for a little reminder of the Blues' three items.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18The pet panther door knocker for £45.
0:17:19 > 0:17:25Natasha's rogue, weird watercolour for a controversial £40.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30Vets' choice - their plate camera snapped up for £110.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Well, I bet you thought I was going to buy a brooch...- Absolutely.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- Yeah, definitely a brooch.- ..because we looked at brooches, but I didn't.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Oh, thank God. - I bought you something quirky...
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- HE GASPS - ..and exciting.- Beautiful.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43It's a cruet set. Is this something you'd have in your flat?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I mean, if it looked like that, it'd be great. Yeah, absolutely.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- You like it? It's quite cool. - It's awesome.- It's quite unusual. Let me hand it over to you.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53It's not silver. It's white metal, shall we say? Silver-plated.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57And it does have a little note on it saying "Made in China".
0:17:57 > 0:18:01It's really handy because we know, therefore, it's Chinese.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04And it's quite modern and it's quite good fun.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- What do you think of it? It fits so nicely.- I think it's great.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- I think it's beautiful. - I think it's got real appeal.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Not antique antique, but not made yesterday.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- How much did you pay for it? - How much do you think I paid for it?
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- 30, 40?- 30, 40?- 25?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Oh!- £25 is exactly what I paid.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24It was marked up at 35,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27and I reckon it's got to make at least that at auction.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32But will the boys go with this made-in-China item? We'll see.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Now, let's go to auction.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Catherine Southon is ready and raring to sell.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- Excited about it?- Yeah.- Very excited.- Are we going to do well?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Yeah, we're confident. - I'm sure we'll do well.- Profits?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Profit, definitely.- Definitely. - Big profits. Are they right, Thomas?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Definitely right. Big profits.- Big profits.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- We're going to kick off with that cloisonne vase.- Yes. Lovely.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Here it comes.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Who's going to give me £50 to start this?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Ooh.- Come on.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59£50. Come on. 50, thank you, is bid.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03£50. Any more at £50? £50.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- No! Come on!- Maiden bid. - This is very cheap.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06I don't want to sell for £50.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Bid! Bid!- No!
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Surely. A very pretty vase.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14£50, then. All done? 50?
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- Oh, dear.- I'm sorry. That was mine.- Don't apologise.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Don't worry. You're only down 60.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- Things could be worse. - We'll make more.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Now you've got the Sporrongs decanter labels.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30And I would like £30, please, to start this. £30. £30?
0:19:30 > 0:19:3120, then.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- Got £20?- 20 is bid. Thank you. £20.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- 25. 30. Are you bidding, sir? - THEY WHISPER
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- 35.- We're into a profit.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Are you bidding? 45.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46No more? Thank you. 45. Gentleman's bid at £45.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48That's not bad - 45.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53I will sell at 45, then. All done, 45.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Well, well done.- That's all right. - That's better.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00So, that's plus 15, so you're only down 45 now.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01- The mask needs... - This will make it back.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Tribal mask - your favourite item, team, isn't it?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- My favourite, it was. I promise you that.- Was it?- I love it so much.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Interest here at 25. £30.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14With me at £30. £30. I've now got internet 40.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- 45.- Internet!- Internet!- 55 with me.
0:20:18 > 0:20:2260 now. £60 on the internet. Internet at £60.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- 60 quid.- £60!- This is splendid.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Any more at £60, then? I will sell to the internet.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30It's against you in the room.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Selling, then, £60.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- £60.- But well done on the mask.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- Well done. - That's absolutely splendid.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41So, do you know, you're only down a fiver?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- That's good.- Only down a fiver. - So, now,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46le moment critique, as they say.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49What do you think of World War II tubes?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Do you want to go with them? - I think we'll go for them.- We will.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- We said, if we're making a loss, we'll go for it.- A £5 loss, though.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57We've got to trust your instinct at some point, I think.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- We've got to trust you.- Got to trust your expertise.- Well, here it is.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- You can't go back now. - We're in. Come on.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05You are definitely going with Thomas's bonus buy.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Don't let us down, Thomas.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10I have £20. With me at £20. Any more at £20?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- I will sell for £20. - No, don't. One more.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Ooh, there's a man there! - Thank you, sir. 25?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- 30 with me.- 30!
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- One more, sir? Shall I say one more, sir?- ALL: Yes!
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I'm out. £35. Standing at £35.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Any more, then? 35.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- We did it. We did it. - Thank you, Thomas.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33May I say that, thanks to that wonderful man there,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35your overall net result is
0:21:35 > 0:21:40- plus £2!- Yay!- Yes!- Brilliant.- £2!
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- That's £1 each. - Is that right? Oh, yeah.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44We're having a big night out tonight!
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- Are you confident, guys?- Why not?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- Quietly confident. - You're quietly confident.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I don't think you two are quietly anything, frankly.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57- Are they, Natasha?- No.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Noisily confident, I think, is probably the expression.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Anyway, we're coming up with the door knocker. Here it comes.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Who's going to give me £30 for this? Surely £30.
0:22:07 > 0:22:0935. Thank you, internet.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- 35. 40, I've got next.- Ooh!- Now we're going.- Here we go. Here we go.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15£40. On the internet at £40.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19I shall go, then, straight to the internet. £40, then. £40.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24- Go on, gents!- Come on.- Oh, no! - What happened?- Minus a fiver.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Never mind. Cast that from your minds because here comes
0:22:28 > 0:22:30the hypnotherapist, as bought by Natasha Raskin.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Very unusual. Never seen anything quite like that,
0:22:33 > 0:22:36but surely someone will give me £20 for it.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- £10, then.- ALL:- Oh! - We have to sell it.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43£10. Thank you. Lady's bid at £10.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Is there another? There is. There's the internet at £15.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52- 15! Come on, internet. - Can I say 20? Thank you. £20.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54£20. Is someone else bidding?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Oh, thank you. Right at the back of the room.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02- There's a lady in the back. - You have good taste, madam. 25. 30.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07- 5. 40. 5.- Hooray! - LAUGHTER
0:23:07 > 0:23:11£45. We have, at the back of the room, £45.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- This is a one-of-a-kind.- Come on.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- Now, the internet's thinking. 50. 5. - LAUGHTER
0:23:16 > 0:23:21- This is sensational work! - Internet, don't lose it. 60. 5.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Everyone wants it now. 65.
0:23:23 > 0:23:2770. 5. 75.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Do you want it, internet?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- Yes! 80. 5. - CHEERING
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Do you want it? 5. £85 standing.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- 90 now.- I've never been more excited!
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- I might have to lie down in a minute.- Are you sure?
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Well, thank you, anyway. £90, we have on the internet.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- £90.- Can't quite believe that. I feel like I'm going to collapse.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- LAUGHTER - But it's a lovely picture,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52and it's an interesting one. And £90, we have.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Thank you, internet.- Yeah! - SHE LAUGHS
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- That is so good. - Plus 50. Minus five.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01How good was that?!
0:24:01 > 0:24:05We're now £45 up, and we've got the camera to come.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- And here it comes. - Come on. £40. Any more?
0:24:08 > 0:24:1050 now.
0:24:10 > 0:24:1460 now. Keep going. We have 60 on the internet.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- 60 on the internet.- At 60.- 70 now.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- Ooh, keep going. - Now we're going.- Come on.- £70.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Now we're getting somewhere. £70 on the internet.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Is there another, net?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27£70. Anyone in the room?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29£70, then. I will sell for 70.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- All done at £70, then?- All that profit's going to disappear.- £70.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- GAVEL BANGS - Oh, no!
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Do you know, you were £45 up, and you lost 40 there,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42so you are still ahead of the game. You are plus £5.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Now...- Oh, you're joking. - ..this novelty cruet set.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- Take it. Take it.- Got to go for it. - Always risk it.- Risk everything.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Risk everything...- Risk that fiver. - ..on a Chinese cruet set.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- Absolutely.- Right, this is it.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- And I have £30 already on the net.- Yes!
0:24:57 > 0:25:00£30. 35, I have.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05- 40, I have. 5.- There's two people bidding down here.- 5. 60.
0:25:05 > 0:25:075. 70. 5.
0:25:07 > 0:25:1180. 5. 90.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16- 5. £95. In the room at 95. - We actually made a profit!- 95.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Do you want to come in, sir?
0:25:18 > 0:25:23100. Why not? Sure? One more? £100, gentleman behind you.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- £100.- 100.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30£100. Any more at 100, then? 100.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35- Plus 75. Team...- Oh...- Get in. - ..so good. Put it there, mate.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Do you know how much you've made overall?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- I can't figure it out. - That would be £80.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- £80.- That is incredible.- £80.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Well, I have to say, that is a stunning effort.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50And Natasha's last-minute boost to the profits meant that the Blues
0:25:50 > 0:25:52are today's winners.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57Coming up, will our next two teams fare any better? We'll see.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03But first I've been to visit London's first international airport
0:26:03 > 0:26:05in Croydon, South London.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10When it comes to aviation, this place once let the world.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Good morning!- Morning.- Charlie Ross. - Colin Ockendon.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Welcome to the world's first purpose-built air terminal.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Fantastic.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Passenger flights from Croydon Aerodrome
0:26:23 > 0:26:26began around the turn of the 1920s
0:26:26 > 0:26:30and, with the completion of this fine building in 1928,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33it became London's main airport and customs point.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Croydon to Paris-Le Bourget was the world's busiest air route.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42So, Colin, largely things are the same now as they were in 1928?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Yes, this area here was the booking hall.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Down each of the walls on each side were the check-in desks.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50The average transit time would have been of the order of 20 minutes.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Good grief! We'd like to do that nowadays, wouldn't we?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Wouldn't we just?- But you didn't have all the checks -
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- didn't have customs and all that sort of stuff?- Yes. Oh, yes.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00All were carried out here in a very efficient manner.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Although the airport has now been closed to passenger flights
0:27:03 > 0:27:06for almost 60 years, the museum,
0:27:06 > 0:27:09tucked away beneath the old air control tower,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12is a fascinating record of a vanished age.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14And what have we got here?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Well, this is a Handley Page HP42.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19I mean, it looks to be, with those struts and things,
0:27:19 > 0:27:21a little bit Heath Robinson to me.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Well, no, I mean, it was state-of-the-art at the time.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26It was one of the very first aircraft that was built of metal.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- Prior to that, aircraft were made of wood and fabric.- Yes.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33And the fact that it had four engines as well was important,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36because that meant that even if two the engines failed,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38the aircraft could still continue to fly.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43And Imperial Airways actually used that as a marketing ploy,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46saying that this was the safest aircraft that had ever flown,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48and nobody ever actually died while flying in one of these.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49What a wonderful record.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Flying, of course, was only available to the very wealthy,
0:27:54 > 0:28:00with a 1925 return to Paris clocking in at almost £600 in today's money.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Mind you, it was all quite opulent.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06And there's a picture of an aircraft
0:28:06 > 0:28:09which has actually been converted, effectively, into a restaurant,
0:28:09 > 0:28:13with straps to hold the tablecloths in place...
0:28:13 > 0:28:16And the bottles! There's a sort of framework holding all the bottles.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18That's it, to stop them falling over.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20It was certainly a rich man's pastime.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Especially when travelling further afield.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28And Croydon was at the centre of a rapidly-expanding network.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31So here we have a globe on which we've placed pins,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34and each of those pins represents a stopover,
0:28:34 > 0:28:36so staying in a hotel on the way.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38And you can see the distance to Australia -
0:28:38 > 0:28:42you go all the way down there. I mean, a simple trip to Baghdad
0:28:42 > 0:28:44would have been a seven-day operation,
0:28:44 > 0:28:46staying six nights in a hotel on the way.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Incredibly exciting!- Yes. It was almost a holiday getting there.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55Paving the way for passengers were the record-breaking aviators
0:28:55 > 0:28:56of the '20s and '30s,
0:28:56 > 0:29:00with our aerodrome usually featuring in the headlines.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04So some of the most famous pilots of all time have used this airport?
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Indeed, yes. Charles Lindbergh, of course,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09was the first man to fly solo across the Atlantic.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11- In the Spirit Of St Louis. - Indeed.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13He actually landed originally in Paris,
0:29:13 > 0:29:16and then eventually flew on to Croydon here.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Of course, the other very important person is Amy Johnson.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Her claim to fame is that she managed to fly solo
0:29:21 > 0:29:24from Croydon Airport all the way to Australia,
0:29:24 > 0:29:26and it took her 19½ days to do so.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30- An idol of her time.- Oh, yes. And she became a fashion icon as well.
0:29:32 > 0:29:37But having led the way for so many years, after World War II,
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Croydon began to lose its status as London's international airport.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Hemmed in by housing and light industry,
0:29:44 > 0:29:48the runways were no longer suitable for the latest airliners,
0:29:48 > 0:29:51and the final passenger flight took off in 1959.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Back to fashionable Portobello Road in West London,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00to see whether our next two teams can pick three objects
0:30:00 > 0:30:02to fly off with a profit at auction.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07We'll find out what to buy...
0:30:07 > 0:30:08No, we don't want ladles.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- Nobody has soup any more. - I want a ladle.- I don't want that.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13..where to go...
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- Going that way? - Yeah, just one more.- OK.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- Maximum two stalls. - No, you have, what, eight minutes?
0:30:17 > 0:30:19You can boil three eggs in eight minutes.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- Come on. Let's go. - SHE LAUGHS
0:30:21 > 0:30:24..and, most importantly, who's about to make profits.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28- Ooh!- That's a bit more like it.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- Hooray!- Happy days.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36But before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38For our Red team today, we have a married couple,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Una and William, and for our Blue team,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42we have Ronald and Claudia,
0:30:42 > 0:30:45who are nearly married, as I understand it.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello!
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- Now, you met a long time ago, didn't you?- Yes, over 25 years ago.- Yeah.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I was an American medical student, and he was a banker in London,
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- and we dated transatlantically. This was before...- Romance.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59..the internet, before mobile phones.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02I mean, it was so ancient. So we had to write letters and...
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- How long did it take the letters to get from...?- Weeks.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07I had to write every other day so he'd have something to open.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08A lot of writing.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Now, Una, you were a doctor for some time.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Yes, I'm a retired GP, and I was a GP for about 20 years.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17William, what's it like being married to this dynamo?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- LAUGHING:- It's hard work.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21THEY ALL LAUGH "It's hard work"!
0:31:22 > 0:31:25I bet it is. But you and I share something, don't we?
0:31:25 > 0:31:27- Cricket!- Cricket, yes.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30I-I-I like cricket, I play a bit of cricket, I watch cricket.
0:31:30 > 0:31:31- Do you?- Yes.- Where do you play?
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Mostly in Ireland. Rain doesn't really stop play in Ireland,
0:31:34 > 0:31:36otherwise you never would play!
0:31:38 > 0:31:40You also have a passion for antiques, don't you?
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- Yes, we do. - Who will be doing the negotiating?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- I think that's my job.- Oh, is it?
0:31:45 > 0:31:46I think that's what I've been told to do.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- I think I might be doing some negotiating.- Oh.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Anyway, it's going to be great fun having you on the programme.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53And, of course, for our Blue team, we've got
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- the wonderful Ronald and Claudia. BOTH:- Hello.- Going to enjoy it?
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- Yes.- Yes, very much. - I'm sure you are.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Now, Ronald, how did you two meet?
0:32:00 > 0:32:03We met in Romania about eight years ago.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Yeah.- I was working out in the clothing trade.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- I was a production manager. - Rag trade!- Yeah.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Claudia was working there and we...
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- The eyes met and...- And that was it?
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- And that was it. - Romance in Romania.- Absolutely.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17I plucked the courage up to go and speak to her
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- cos I was a bit of a shy lad at the time.- Took him six hours.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21Took me six hours. It wasn't long.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24- And the rest is history. - Wonderful. And you're engaged?
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Yes, we are, for the last seven years.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28It's coming close. I'm planning.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- Now, you're also a cricket fan, aren't you?- Oh, big fan, yeah.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32- Played as a youngster.- Yeah?
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Reasonable level - sort of village green level.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Claudia, you're also very artistic, aren't you?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39I've been very, very lucky to graduate
0:32:39 > 0:32:42the University of Puppetry and Marionettes from Romania.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43Do you make them?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- Er, yes. We did. Actually made them, yes.- And operate them?- Yes.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48- How wonderful.- We made the puppets and marionettes
0:32:48 > 0:32:50- and also handled it as well, yes. - Yeah?
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- So what are you going to buy? - Anything that's good value.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Anything in good condition.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57"Good value, good condition." Where have I heard that before?
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- Well, good luck. I'm going to give you some money.- Oh, thank you.- £300.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- Thank you.- Enjoy it.- Thank you. - There we are, Una.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Spend it well. Have a great time. Off you go.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11I wonder if they'll be buying old bats and balls. Probably.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19So, William, Una, we've got £300. What are we going to spend it on?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Well, I think we should try and look at some silver.- Yeah.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23If we can get it at a good price.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27I'm looking for a little bit of jewellery, maybe. Silver.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29We're looking for something fashionable,
0:33:29 > 0:33:31and get it at a really good price and make a big profit.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- I like boxes.- Boxes? - I'm a bit of a box man, yeah.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36- Let's go see if we can find them.- Yeah.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- BELL RINGS - Are we ready to do it?- Absolutely.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44- Let's go.- Go!
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Time's ticking, and we've got to find some bargains.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Thomas will find the stall and I'll find the item.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51- Is that what's going to work? - I think so.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54I tell you what, this is closer to Thomas's stomping ground
0:33:54 > 0:33:56than it is mine, so I'm a bit of a fish out of water.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Well, I'm a Londoner, so I might be able to help just a little.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01- I'm going to rely on your patter. - Thank you very much.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04So, who's going to spot something first?
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Thomas, is that a real Rolex?
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- It will be a real Rolex. Yes, it will be.- Is it?- Yeah.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- Oh, no, but it won't be £200. - We only have 300.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- Wow. That's really pretty, too. - Yeah. What, the lenses?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20- Yeah, the lenses. - They're called lorgnettes.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- Lorgnettes.- Lorgnettes. And they're sort of reading glasses.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- Right.- They would be sprung-hinged.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27So they'd be glasses like you're wearing.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- Can he open it up and let us see? - Can we have a look?
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Yes, come on. Get stuck in!
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- So, what you do...- Yeah. - ..you take them out.- Yeah, yeah.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36So you've got the lenses here,
0:34:36 > 0:34:38so you could even use them as a magnifying glass.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42- But press that. Ba-bam.- Oh, wow. That's so nice.- Yeah, you know?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- And these are reading glasses? - They're reading glasses.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46And you can actually put it on a chain and...
0:34:46 > 0:34:47Yeah, pretend to be a lady.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- OK.- But you are a lady. - What's the metal?
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- You can pretend to be Maggie Smith. - A gilt metal. So it's gold-plated.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57It's really pretty, and it's something that I can see
0:34:57 > 0:35:00in a period drama, and I know people would just absolutely buy it.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01- They'd just love it. - You're quite right.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04But I tell you what you have to do with a period drama is
0:35:04 > 0:35:06they've got to be the right date.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Sometimes, some of these period dramas,
0:35:08 > 0:35:10they put the wrong glasses on people, don't they?
0:35:10 > 0:35:11I wonder which ones he means.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Somebody will like these. Somebody will like these, definitely.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Yeah, but it's still practical, as well.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20- How much is this?- 45.- 45. - And your very best?
0:35:20 > 0:35:26- I'll do them for 35.- £35. That's not bad - £35.- Yeah.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Are you going to do another little chunk, are you?
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Could you do them for 30?
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Oh, dear. The way you're looking at me, I've got to.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Ooh, Una's charmed him.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37- 30? OK.- £30.- Well done.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Five minutes into shopping, first item done.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- Excellent. Yeah, cool.- There you go.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- OK, let's go onto the next one, then.- Ready.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Busy, busy, busy. The Reds are off to a flyer.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Meanwhile, the Blues have spotted some farmyard friends.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53I was looking at them pigs.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55What material do you think they are, Natasha?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Well, we'd have to handle them
0:35:57 > 0:35:59because they could be patinated plaster.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01- They could be anything. - Let's have a little look.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03- How heavy are they? - They're very heavy.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06- They're very heavy?- Are they lead? - I thought they were maybe cast iron.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08- Oh, right. - I don't think they're lead.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10He's a jolly old fellow, though.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12He's cuddling a rabbit, if you look close enough.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14- Is that not a four-leaf clover? - Yeah.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- So, you think they've got an Irish influence?- I don't know.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20I mean, what we need to talk about is their virtue.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21They're probably Victorian.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Victorian - the era of huge mass production.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25They're almost identical.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28In fact, they are identical, so they come from a mould.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Are they a precious metal? No.- No.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34Are they elaborately coloured and bright and catching of the eye? No.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38- But are they quite quirky and fun? Yes.- Yeah.- Are they expensive?
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- Shall we find out how much they are? - That would be nice.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- I had in mind £30. - 30?- Yes.- I'm not sure.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- OK. So, we'll chance putting them down for now and...- And coming back.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Yeah, he's a very nice gentleman and I'm sure he'll...
0:36:52 > 0:36:54I'm sure we can renegotiate on that 30.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55Pigs on hold.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58I think they might be planning a menagerie.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Now, for their fast-starting rivals,
0:37:00 > 0:37:02any chance of William getting a look in?
0:37:02 > 0:37:04- Just outside the shop. - Yeah, just outside.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- Have a quick look. - OK, let's have a look.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07Oh, go on, have a hold.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11- That's quite nice.- Nice feet. Lovely silver scroll handle.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12I would buy it myself.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Well, I like the fact you'd buy it yourself.
0:37:14 > 0:37:20Now, the date for that is 1931, so we're looking at George V.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25- Gadrooned rim.- This is heavy. - Yeah? Has it got a good gauge?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27- It's got a good weight on it. I like that.- Yeah.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29And it's been retailed through Harrods.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32I think that makes it rather vulgar, but...
0:37:32 > 0:37:34There's no pleasing some folk, is there?
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Right, OK. If you like it, that's a good sign.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39- OK.- What's the best on that?- 98?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42That's a bit... These things go for a bit less than that.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43Well, it's the weight, you see.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- Yeah.- It smashes up for, like, £80. To break it.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49So what will you do it for?
0:37:49 > 0:37:53The silver value is worth 80. I'd do that for 85.
0:37:53 > 0:37:59£80? May I say £80? May I whisper £80?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- Yeah, go on, then. - £80. Shall we buy this?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Yes, definitely.- Done. Done deal. Thank you very much.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- Thank you very much, sir. - Oh, the hand is shook.- £80. Done.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11Another in the bag. They don't dilly-dally.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- Let's go.- OK, thank you. Thank you. Bye-bye.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Claudia and Ron, meanwhile, seem determined to keep it real.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22How does that appeal to you? What do you think of that?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24A nice pedestal base there.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28It's got a lovely sort of almost trumpet shape.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30It's nice and hand-blown. Look at those bubbles.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32How old do you think it is?
0:38:32 > 0:38:36I think it's probably 1950s or '60s, something like that.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39I think it's got that kind of design-era feel to it.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- Is this a natural marking, Natasha? - Which marking? Yes.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44This marking - is that a natural fleck?
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Well, the bubbles are actually as a result of sort of twisting the glass
0:38:48 > 0:38:51whilst it's being hand-blown to create these flecks of bubbles.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- What do you think, Clau? - I think it's different.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57I'm not sure about the colour, but...
0:38:57 > 0:39:01What would you expect to get in auction for this type of item?
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- Not a lot of money. £10, £12, something like that.- OK.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06- But if he's packing up... - Shall we have a go?
0:39:06 > 0:39:08I think we should because do you know what?
0:39:08 > 0:39:10I bought a bunch of flowers the other day,
0:39:10 > 0:39:13and could I find a vase to fit? And that would have been perfect.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- You'd get a few bunches in there. - Oh, I tell you!
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Well, would you like to speak to the gentleman?
0:39:18 > 0:39:22- Now, bear in mind he's packing up, so give him a last-minute deal.- OK.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- A fiver.- Oh!- What?!
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- What do you think?- What do you think?- What do you think?
0:39:27 > 0:39:31- Can I be cheeky and offer you four? - If you like.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32That's very nice.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35- All right, what do you reckon? - Yeah, let's go for it.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Yeah, yeah, let's go for it. We're happy with that.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39- Thank you, sir.- The deal is done.
0:39:39 > 0:39:44Crumbs! They'll have three for less than a tenner at this rate.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45- Half an hour is gone...- Yes.- Yes.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47..believe it or not, so we need two items.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50We've got one in the bag, but we need two more in half an hour.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- Do you think we can do it? - Do you think we should rush?
0:39:53 > 0:39:56- Shall we run?- I think so. Let's go. - Shall we run? Shall we run?!
0:39:57 > 0:40:00The Reds are already two-thirds there,
0:40:00 > 0:40:03but what does their expert make of them?
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Una and William, they don't dither. They make decisions.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10No, we don't want ladles. Nobody has soup any more.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13I think it's because they're both professional businesspeople.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16They're successful. They're clever. They know when it's a good deal.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17No.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18I love those lorgnettes.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Una spotted them. She likes the style.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23And then William looked at that sauce boat and said,
0:40:23 > 0:40:25"No, I like that. I'd buy that."
0:40:25 > 0:40:27And, actually, looking at it, I would, as well.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30I think he's got a bit of style, that man.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33So I've sent them on ahead to look at another stall.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36I wonder what Una and William would have spotted then.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38I'll find out.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40HE CHUCKLES He sounds chipper.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Now, what about those Blues? Are they a bit more focused now?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46What about the wee dish there with the lady on top?
0:40:46 > 0:40:49I mean, it's hard to age from here. Shall we delve in a wee bit?
0:40:49 > 0:40:51- Let's have a look, yeah. - Let's have a look.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- It's a Capodimonte.- Yes. Oh, I didn't... Do you know what?
0:40:54 > 0:40:57I didn't even see there were a pair of them. How handy is that?
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- Let's have a look. - They're 45 each.- 45 each.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Hand-painted Capodimonte. And look at the quality.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Hand-painted all the way around
0:41:05 > 0:41:08- with these wee beasties and everything.- OK.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10I thought, from a distance there, these were a pair,
0:41:10 > 0:41:12but, actually, when you look closely,
0:41:12 > 0:41:14they're almost identical.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18I mean, at auction, it's probably going to be something like £20-£40.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21- Auctioneers want things to sell. They don't want to...- OK, OK.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- ..place items with a value of... - And how much are these items?
0:41:24 > 0:41:30- They're 45 each.- Hmm. £45 each. May I make you an offer?- Yes, sure.
0:41:30 > 0:41:36I'd like to think that a reasonable offer would be about £28-£32.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- What do you think?- For one?- For one.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Can we get the two for 50? Would that be a possibility?
0:41:43 > 0:41:47Er, two would be 60.
0:41:47 > 0:41:52- 55, and we'll take the two. - OK?- Thank you very much.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53Good work, Ron.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57Capodimonte isn't everyone's cup of tea, but you never know.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Neither is that.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- Bit of fun design, made out of... - Perspex.- ..Perspex.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Sort of made in the 1970s.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12I have to say, Una's abandoned us. She's gone.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16I don't blame her! Back you come, Una.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- Do you like that? - What's the metal?- Copper.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24- Wrought iron.- That's really nice. - On Perspex.- OK, what price?
0:42:24 > 0:42:27A bit of design. How much? How much would you pay for that?
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- It's a good game, this. It's a good game.- OK. £30.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- Guess again.- What do you mean? - It falls within your budget.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37- £20?- Mm.- No way.- Yes. - OK, well, it's done. It's done.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41- Well, let's not pay £20. Let's try...- Well, ask him.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45- I mean, the man is...- Oh!- So, it's a piece of design. It's on Perspex.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- OK, so, it's iron. - I don't think it...- It's copper.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- Wrought iron, copper.- It's Perspex. - I don't think it's...
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- What do you put in it? - Candlesticks.- Oh, candlesticks!
0:42:52 > 0:42:54- Very 1970s, isn't it? - It's quite '70s.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55£18 with a £2 profit?
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- Er, we can go down a bit more than that.- Oh.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Yeah, I'll do it for 18.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- What about 15? - We're still negotiating.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- Come on. You said 18 just then! - HE LAUGHS
0:43:05 > 0:43:08- No, as a team, we don't all agree. - Una, this...- OK, all ready?
0:43:08 > 0:43:12Let's do it again. OK, let's do it again. 15!
0:43:12 > 0:43:14- 17! - THEY LAUGH
0:43:14 > 0:43:16- 16!- I can't get a word in edgewise!
0:43:16 > 0:43:18- Sorry, sorry. - THEY LAUGH
0:43:18 > 0:43:20- We're done at 16. We're done at 16. - No, no, no. Thomas, speak.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22The thing is, you've done the cardinal sin
0:43:22 > 0:43:24of mentioning a figure when buying.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27- Oh, yeah, you're not supposed to mention the figure first.- No.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30- And that's your...- My downfall. - ..downfall on that one.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33- So, I think, to be the honourable person...- Oh, right.
0:43:33 > 0:43:34..you mentioned 18.
0:43:34 > 0:43:38No, but he was going to go at 16! He went to 17!
0:43:38 > 0:43:40- He went to 16.- He went... - What did you go to?
0:43:40 > 0:43:44- I actually ended up at 16. - You ended up at 16?!
0:43:44 > 0:43:45Right, if you've offered 16, then...
0:43:45 > 0:43:47That's what I said! He's accepted 16.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51- I'm not going any lower than that! - THEY LAUGH
0:43:51 > 0:43:52- £16. Done.- That's how it's done.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54That was chaos,
0:43:54 > 0:43:57but well within the hour, they have their three items.
0:43:57 > 0:44:01- Well done, you. Well done.- Thank you, Thomas.- Thank you very much.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03- Oh, my goodness. You've been so helpful.- Thank you, Thomas.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06I don't think I've been that helpful, to be honest with you!
0:44:06 > 0:44:08- No, excellent. You spotted that. - I just thought, "A bit of style."
0:44:08 > 0:44:11- £16.- Brilliant.- Let's hope it's going to make a profit.
0:44:13 > 0:44:14So, while the Reds head for the pavilion,
0:44:14 > 0:44:16time is running out for the Blues.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20I think we should give it one more go.
0:44:20 > 0:44:21- Of going that way?- Yeah.- OK.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24- Just one more. Maximum two stalls. - But you have, what, eight minutes?
0:44:24 > 0:44:27You can boil three eggs in eight minutes. Come on. Let's go.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30- SHE LAUGHS - We can do it. We can do it.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32Might be a wee bit runny, though.
0:44:33 > 0:44:36- Do you think the Blues are still out there?- Definitely.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39- Oh, I'm pretty sure they are. - Do you think they're one item down?
0:44:39 > 0:44:41I think they're still looking.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43I think they're panicking.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46- I feel rather smug, I don't know about you.- Definitely.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49- HE CHUCKLES - Well done.- Cheers.- Thank you.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52- Right, we're getting close to time. - What's the plan?
0:44:52 > 0:44:55We need to really make a move, but I've seen something I like.
0:44:55 > 0:44:56Thank goodness for that.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58Run! Go, go, go, go, go!
0:44:58 > 0:45:00Here's a familiar face.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03- I'm just so not sure. - What about the atomiser?
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Do you like that? It's quite sweet.
0:45:05 > 0:45:09- How much is the atomiser, sir? - That's 20. Silver. Silver-topped.
0:45:09 > 0:45:11I would say...
0:45:11 > 0:45:14Have we got a deal at £15 on the atomiser?
0:45:14 > 0:45:17£15 on the atomiser? You look as though you're absolutely desperate.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19- Yes, please. - What do you reckon?- Oh, lovely.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22- Yeah, I think we'll go for that. - It's sterling.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24It's got a nice, engine-turned design on it.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26The glass is cut glass.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28- Yeah, let's go for it. - Hobnail cut.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31- Can we handle that atomiser?- Yeah. - Shall we do it?- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34- Shake on it, and come on! - Done! It's a deal, £15.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36- Thank you ever so much. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:45:36 > 0:45:37Phew! That was close.
0:45:37 > 0:45:41Right, teams, your 60 minutes are up.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43- I wish I had more time. I want to spend more money.- Yeah.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47- Spend more money?- Yeah.- We didn't spend a lot, did we?- No.- No.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51But will you make any money on the items you HAVE bought?
0:45:51 > 0:45:52We'll see before long,
0:45:52 > 0:45:55as we're now returning to Catherine Southon's auction house.
0:45:55 > 0:45:59But first, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03Una's costume-drama lorgnettes for £30.
0:46:04 > 0:46:07William's silver sauce boat for £80.
0:46:09 > 0:46:14And Thomas's 1970s candlestick holder for £16.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18Have you any idea what he might have under there?
0:46:18 > 0:46:20- Looks like he's got nothing under there.- Well...
0:46:20 > 0:46:22- THEY LAUGH ..let's have a look. Thomas?- OK.
0:46:22 > 0:46:25- So, you left me with quite a lot of money.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28I didn't spend it all, but I bought something rather magnificent,
0:46:28 > 0:46:33I think, which is a silver French marcasite
0:46:33 > 0:46:37brooch-cum-pendant-cum-hanging photograph frame.
0:46:37 > 0:46:41And it's got marcasite stones, which sort of simulate diamonds.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43And that's where you'd put a photograph.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46And you can either hang it on a wall or wear it as a brooch.
0:46:46 > 0:46:50- But how much did you pay for it? - Well, that's a very good question.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53How much do you think I paid for it? I'll give you a clue.
0:46:53 > 0:46:57- It was three figures when I saw it.- £20?
0:46:57 > 0:46:58- No! - THEY LAUGH
0:46:58 > 0:47:01- French silver?!- It's Bargain Hunt! - Ooh, steady!
0:47:01 > 0:47:04No! What am I going to...? What am I going to do? £20!
0:47:04 > 0:47:10In fact, it was marked at over £120, I think. Something like that.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12I paid £90 for it.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14- Er, no. No. - THEY LAUGH
0:47:14 > 0:47:17£90 is way too much money for that. I'm sorry.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20Well, it's very nice, but, yes, £90 is a bit rich, I think.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23Well, it seems that Una and William aren't too struck
0:47:23 > 0:47:25on Thomas's bonus buy,
0:47:25 > 0:47:28but you never know - they might change their minds.
0:47:28 > 0:47:30Here are the Blue team's three items.
0:47:31 > 0:47:35Claudia's very loud trumpet vase for just £4.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40A pair of Capodimonte salts for £55.
0:47:43 > 0:47:47And Ron's last-minute atomiser for £15.
0:47:48 > 0:47:52- Have a look.- Let's have a look. - Are you ready?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:47:52 > 0:47:56Sometimes, big-value items come in small form
0:47:56 > 0:48:02and here is a small, silver, hand-planished, apple-form pillbox.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05- Wonderful.- I think it's really cute. It's marked Romana to the base.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08For a second, I thought, "Romania! Amazing!"
0:48:08 > 0:48:10- But it's South American silver.- Aw.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12- But I want you to look at it, love it.- Oh, it's lovely. May I?
0:48:12 > 0:48:14Feel free to open it up. It opens. It's a pillbox.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17I might have a struggle opening it up, but I'll give it a go.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19- There you go.- Ooh, lovely. Look at that. Wow!
0:48:19 > 0:48:21- What do you think?- That's beautiful.
0:48:21 > 0:48:24- And the age? - The age is 20th century.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26As to exactly when in the 20th century, difficult to say.
0:48:26 > 0:48:30- How much did you pay, may I ask? - It had a huge ticket price on it.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33I thought I didn't have a chance cos I didn't want to get it
0:48:33 > 0:48:35in three figures, and it had £150 on it.
0:48:35 > 0:48:37- As much as that?- Yeah.- No!
0:48:37 > 0:48:40But I talked our dealer into giving me a good deal,
0:48:40 > 0:48:43- and blow me down, £30. - No!- No!- £30.- Really?- I know.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46What will be the profit at the auction on this one, do you think?
0:48:46 > 0:48:48I don't think it's going to be huge,
0:48:48 > 0:48:50but I'm confident there's a profit in it.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52I think Catherine will say 40 to 60 or so,
0:48:52 > 0:48:54and I think it's got to make more than 30.
0:48:54 > 0:48:59Will the Blues take a bite out of Natasha's delicious bonus buy?
0:48:59 > 0:49:02We'll see before long, as we're about to sell.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05- Catherine, take it away.- At 110.
0:49:05 > 0:49:09- Una, do you go to salerooms a lot? - Yes, I do, actually.- Do you?- Yes.
0:49:09 > 0:49:13- With success buying? - Er, I usually pay over the odds.
0:49:13 > 0:49:14- Do you? - And I usually get too wrapped up.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17Let's hope the people today are paying over the odds for your lots.
0:49:17 > 0:49:20- What about you, William?- I suppose I quite like buying things.
0:49:20 > 0:49:24- Do you?- Yes.- Cricketing things, no doubt.- Pictures.- Pictures?
0:49:24 > 0:49:26- I have bought a cricket bat at auction.- Have you?
0:49:26 > 0:49:28- Massively overpaid for it.- Oh, dear. THEY LAUGH
0:49:28 > 0:49:31- It was a charity auction. - Oh, well, that's fair enough.
0:49:31 > 0:49:35Well, anyway, your first lot are the lorgnettes. Here we go.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37Who will give me £30 for this?
0:49:37 > 0:49:39Thank you. £30 is bid.
0:49:39 > 0:49:44£30. I'm giving it away. Thank you. 5. 40.
0:49:44 > 0:49:45- Now we're going.- Thank goodness!
0:49:45 > 0:49:51One more? Go on. £40. It's lady's bid at £40.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54£40. Do you want to go one more, madam?
0:49:54 > 0:49:59Go on. Why not? 45. 50.
0:49:59 > 0:50:00£50. Are you sure?
0:50:00 > 0:50:03- This is splendid.- It's done.
0:50:03 > 0:50:07£50. Any more at 50, then? I'm going to sell for £50.
0:50:07 > 0:50:11- £50.- Done.- Superb. - See, I told you!- £50.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14- Profit of £20.- There we go. - Now, you've got your sauce boat.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16Oh, yeah. Well, I'm not so happy on that.
0:50:16 > 0:50:22With me at 25. 25. Come on. Who's going to give me £30 for this?
0:50:22 > 0:50:25Surely £30. 30. 5. 40.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29- £40, then.- No. No. - Lady's bid at £40.
0:50:29 > 0:50:33- Oh, it's a lovely thing for £40.- 45. 45.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36One more? 50. 5.
0:50:38 > 0:50:41Come on. 60. 5.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44- No more? 65.- Go on. - Lady's bid at 65.
0:50:44 > 0:50:48Go on. It's worth... The silver's worth 85.
0:50:48 > 0:50:52- Against you, net. 65.- Oh, well.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54Well, it's only lost £15, the sauce boat.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Not too bad. You were £20 up,
0:50:56 > 0:51:00- so you're now just £5 up. - Oh, well, we're still up.
0:51:00 > 0:51:05- Yeah. Whose choice was this?- We. We chose it.- Was it a joint effort?
0:51:05 > 0:51:08- The boys. The boys. - The boys. Oh, the boys' lot.
0:51:08 > 0:51:10Who's going to give me £30?
0:51:12 > 0:51:15£30? £20, then?
0:51:15 > 0:51:21Thank you, madam. £20. We have £20. 5.
0:51:21 > 0:51:24- One more, one more, one more. - Come on, madam. One more.
0:51:24 > 0:51:26£25, then, is paid. 30 now.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28- Ooh!- That's a bit more like it.
0:51:28 > 0:51:32£30. I have £30, and I will sell for 30.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35- £30, then. All done? - GAVEL BANGS
0:51:35 > 0:51:40This is a profit of £14, which, added to your £5, makes £19.
0:51:40 > 0:51:43- We made a profit. - This is sensational.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46- Ah, now the bonus buy. - The bonus buy.- Oh, no, no, no.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48- The bonus buy.- Look at the no.
0:51:48 > 0:51:52Una is absolutely adamant that she's going nowhere near this one.
0:51:52 > 0:51:55- William, what about you? - No, I'm afraid she's right.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57I'm certaintly not going to argue the case.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00We do have interest. We have interest.
0:52:00 > 0:52:03We have 40. 5. 50.
0:52:03 > 0:52:05With me at £50.
0:52:05 > 0:52:09- 55, thank you. I'm out. - 55.- Yeah.- Won't make 60.- 55.
0:52:11 > 0:52:16This is a jolly nice piece. £55. 60 now. 5.
0:52:18 > 0:52:23£65, then. I will sell to the gentleman seated at 65.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26- Well...- £65.- There you go. - Very shrewd decision.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28He might have gone on and paid at least double.
0:52:28 > 0:52:31Yes, he could have paid 200, of course, but we'll never know.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34Now, you've made a profit. You can be very, very proud of yourselves.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37- We could have made more!- £19.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39I was trying to work out how you're going to divide £19
0:52:39 > 0:52:41- between the two of you. - It's very simple.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43I have a feeling it's going to be 19/0, isn't it?
0:52:43 > 0:52:47- It might well be, yes. - Anyway, not a word to the Blues,
0:52:47 > 0:52:49because that could be a winning score,
0:52:49 > 0:52:51- and we'll find out later.- Right.- OK.
0:52:56 > 0:52:59I think one of you is a regular to the saleroom.
0:52:59 > 0:53:01- Ron, that's you, isn't it?- Yeah. - And, Claudia, this is your debut?
0:53:01 > 0:53:03Yes, it's my first time at an auction.
0:53:03 > 0:53:06- Don't look so nervous, darling. - I'm shaking.- Don't shake!
0:53:06 > 0:53:09- It's going to be terribly exciting. - That's why I'm holding her.
0:53:09 > 0:53:14- We're starting with that vase. - Oh, yes.- Your lovely vase.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16The enormous, trumpet-shaped vase.
0:53:16 > 0:53:19- Did you detect a note of sarcasm there?- Just a hint.
0:53:19 > 0:53:22- Not a big fan, Charlie? - No, I've got to be honest.
0:53:22 > 0:53:27You know, I'm not good at lying. I think this vase is ordinary.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29- SHE LAUGHS - As good as that?
0:53:29 > 0:53:31But it only cost £4.
0:53:31 > 0:53:35£20. Come on. Who's going to give me £20 for this?
0:53:35 > 0:53:41£20? It's bid. There's a man who knows his vases. £20.
0:53:41 > 0:53:46£20. Thank you, sir. £20. Any more at £20? Surely.
0:53:46 > 0:53:51No more? Are you sure? You can get a lot of flowers in there. £20, then.
0:53:51 > 0:53:56- One more.- £20? You may regret it. £20.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59- Hooray!- Yeah! Happy days.
0:53:59 > 0:54:02You've made a profit of £16.
0:54:02 > 0:54:07Now, the next a lot, the Capodimonte porcelain salts and covers.
0:54:07 > 0:54:08£40?
0:54:10 > 0:54:1130, then?
0:54:12 > 0:54:1420?
0:54:15 > 0:54:19£20 is bid. Thank you. £20.
0:54:19 > 0:54:23£20. I will sell at 20, then. £20.
0:54:23 > 0:54:24Yes! 25!
0:54:24 > 0:54:28- Oh, competition!- Let's go for it. - Yes!- 30.- Now we're taking off.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30We're on a roll, then. £30, then.
0:54:30 > 0:54:33- I will sell at £30. £30.- Oh, no!
0:54:33 > 0:54:37- Going under. Oh, no! - You've lost £25 there.
0:54:37 > 0:54:42- You're now minus £9.- Oh!- Oh, my...
0:54:42 > 0:54:45But there's a chance here with the atomiser.
0:54:45 > 0:54:49That's got to be worth £30 of anyone's money. £30.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52Come on, ladies. £30. Thank you. 5.
0:54:53 > 0:54:5635 with you. 40. 5.
0:54:57 > 0:55:03Do you want to bid 50, madam? No? £45, I have. In the room at 45.
0:55:03 > 0:55:0645. Any more? At 45, then.
0:55:06 > 0:55:09- No, ladies?- Smells good to us!
0:55:09 > 0:55:11I will sell for 45.
0:55:11 > 0:55:17- Well done!- Yes!- That is a profit of £30.- Fantastic. Well done.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20Take the nine off, you're already up
0:55:20 > 0:55:24- £21.- £21.- Key to the door. - Fantastic.
0:55:24 > 0:55:27- So, are we going with the apple? - Yes, we're going to go for it.
0:55:27 > 0:55:30- So, you're going to go for it? - Yeah, 100%.- Yes.- 100%?- 100%.- 100%.
0:55:30 > 0:55:32- Here we are. - This is a really nice thing.
0:55:32 > 0:55:36An unusual, hammered, silver novelty pillbox in the form of an apple.
0:55:36 > 0:55:42Really sweet. Nice quality, this. Come on. £40, I'd like.
0:55:42 > 0:55:45- Yes! Straight in! - Straight in at £40.- £40.
0:55:45 > 0:55:48£40. There must be someone else.
0:55:48 > 0:55:52£40. This is a jolly nice piece.
0:55:52 > 0:55:5545. 50.
0:55:55 > 0:55:59Come on, madam. Don't lose it.
0:55:59 > 0:56:03- Come on.- She's so good. - We've got 50.
0:56:03 > 0:56:07£50. Any more at 50, then? £50.
0:56:07 > 0:56:12I thought you'd all go crazy over this. £50, it is now. 55. 60.
0:56:12 > 0:56:18- No? £60, then.- 60!- Yes! - Gentleman's bid at £60. £60.
0:56:18 > 0:56:22- Yay!- Yeah!- Group hug, I think. Group hug!
0:56:24 > 0:56:26Well, it is my immense joy
0:56:26 > 0:56:30to announce to you that you have made a profit of £51
0:56:30 > 0:56:33- on Bargain Hunt.- That's the beers sorted out for tonight.
0:56:33 > 0:56:34- Now, not a word to the Reds...- No.
0:56:34 > 0:56:37- ..who, of course, may have made £151...- Sure.
0:56:37 > 0:56:41- ..or may have lost a lot. Who knows?- OK.- Zippo until later.
0:56:41 > 0:56:44- Shtoom.- Thank you.- Happy days. - Have fun?- Yeah!- Yes.
0:56:50 > 0:56:54This has been a fantastic competition.
0:56:54 > 0:56:59It's been nip and tuck all the way, and we don't have a loser,
0:56:59 > 0:57:02- because you've both made money. - Excellent.- Isn't that exciting?
0:57:02 > 0:57:07- Yes!- One team has made more money than the other.- OK.
0:57:07 > 0:57:10And I have to say, the runners-up this time
0:57:10 > 0:57:14- are for the Red team, Una and William.- Oh!
0:57:14 > 0:57:18- Aw!- But you've still made £19. - Very good.
0:57:18 > 0:57:20And I think your coup de grace, really,
0:57:20 > 0:57:22was not going with your bonus buy.
0:57:22 > 0:57:24- Thank you. - LAUGHTER
0:57:24 > 0:57:27- Thank you, everybody. - That photograph-frame pendant,
0:57:27 > 0:57:30- you were very, very keen not to go with that, weren't you?- I was.
0:57:30 > 0:57:36- Una, 15 for you.- Thank you. - Shall we give William the four?
0:57:36 > 0:57:38- No, no, let's give William the four. - Thank you very much.
0:57:38 > 0:57:40LAUGHTER
0:57:40 > 0:57:43But, of course, today's winners are the Blue team.
0:57:43 > 0:57:46Ron and Claudia, you had a tremendous success,
0:57:46 > 0:57:49- really, didn't you?- Absolutely.- I think you only have one loss in all.
0:57:49 > 0:57:51The genius was to go with that wonderful apple.
0:57:51 > 0:57:56- Made £60...- Yes.- ..which, of course, took you up to £51.- Fantastic.- Yes!
0:57:56 > 0:58:00£51, they made! I mean, that's a fistful in Bargain Hunting terms.
0:58:00 > 0:58:02Oh, look at this cash!
0:58:02 > 0:58:05In fact, it only just fitted in my pocket, it was so much money!
0:58:05 > 0:58:09- LAUGHTER Look! £50.- Yes.
0:58:09 > 0:58:12- And...- And £1 for Natasha. - LAUGHTER
0:58:12 > 0:58:15- That's probably for you, Ron. There we go.- Thank you very much.
0:58:15 > 0:58:17- Anyway, well done, everyone. - Oh, brilliant. Thanks ever so much.
0:58:17 > 0:58:19Now, don't forget to have a look at our website,
0:58:19 > 0:58:21and, indeed, to follow us on Twitter.
0:58:21 > 0:58:24In the meantime, do please join us for more Bargain Hunting.
0:58:24 > 0:58:26- Yes? ALL:- Yes!
