0:00:03 > 0:00:061642 to 1648.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Civil war rages throughout England,
0:00:09 > 0:00:12and castles, just like this one here in Newark,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14come under constant siege.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16It can feel like that on Bargain Hunt
0:00:16 > 0:00:19when the teams battle it out to win the biggest profit.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22So, let combat commence.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24So, let's arm ourselves and go bargain-hunting!
0:00:47 > 0:00:51So, no Roundheads or Cavaliers here today, just two teams,
0:00:51 > 0:00:53each armed with £300.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56And the winning team will be the one that makes the biggest profit,
0:00:56 > 0:01:01or, of course, makes the smallest loss, which can sometimes happen.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03So, let's see what's coming up.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05The Reds have expensive tastes...
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- I'm asking £1,200. - Well, there we go.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10..whilst the Blues have lower standards.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- What do you think?- I have no idea.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15It looks nice. I'll go with it.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18The auctioneer pulls out all the stops for the Reds...
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I'm asking 15, 18, 22, 25.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23He's doing all he can for you.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25..and has the Blues in suspense.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Come on. Come on, madam.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Yes!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Now, for today's show, we have two young married couples.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43For the Red team, we have Stuart and Anna-Marie,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45and for the Blue team, we have Dan and Camilla.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Hello, everyone.- Hello!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Ooh! A deafening sound!
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Now, Stuart, you have a slightly different life nowadays to
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- your former job, don't you? - That's correct.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57I'm a mechanical engineer now,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01but I was in the Royal Marines for ten years.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04And I run military-style boot camps,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07also, and survival schools, in my spare time.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Now, you're a teacher, aren't you?- I am.- Yeah?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- A primary school teacher.- A primary school... But that's taken you
0:02:13 > 0:02:15all round the world, Anna-Marie, hasn't it?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18It has. I've been to South Africa, Cambodia,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20and Palestine in Jerusalem, as well.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Really? That must have been quite challenging?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25It really was, yeah. It was much more difficult
0:02:25 > 0:02:27than I actually thought it would be.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28- Really?- But I did really enjoy it.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Are you going to spend big or small?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I'd like to say big, but I think we'll go middle of the park.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Now, moving swiftly on to this wonderful Blue team,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39our musicians, here on the left.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Now, Daniel, you're from the Potteries, aren't you?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44I'm from Telford, around that area.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47We live in Stoke on Trent, at the moment.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- And, Camilla, you come from Brazil? - Yeah, I do.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52So, Dan, how did that happen? How did you meet?
0:02:52 > 0:02:56We met in Brazil. My band went on tour for two weeks in 2009,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58so we were on a two-week sell-out tour.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I was talking to Cam
0:03:01 > 0:03:03probably a month beforehand, online.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06And she met us at the airport, with the fans as well. And that's it.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- She came on tour with us. - The fans? You have fans?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Yeah, we had fans waiting. - How exciting.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Yeah, it was awesome. We had fans waiting for us at the airport.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- What's the band called? - Waiting For Hollywood,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19but the last band that I was in is Hill Valley High.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Hill Valley High, now Waiting For Hollywood.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Now, you're also a musician, aren't you?- Yes, I am.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- But you are...- I play the bass.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- ..right-handed or left-handed? - Right-handed.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31When you're not doing this sort of thing,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- how do you relax?- Doing this.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- That?- Yes.- You're a photographer?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I love photography.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I did media in college,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42so we learned how to take pictures,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46develop them, and I love that, so when I'm doing this, I'm doing that.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48So, have you discussed tactics for today?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Are you going to be spending big? Small?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Big.- Middle.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Instant harmony. We love that.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Fantastic. Well, good luck today.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Good luck, both of you.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- Now, Reds. £300 for you.- Thank you.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07Blues, just to be strictly fair about this, £300 for you.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Thank you. - Off you go. Have a great time.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14I think this could be really quite exciting.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17And, as usual, we have a brace of experts on hand today,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19guiding two teams, not one.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24The Red team have the out-of-this-world Ben Cooper.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29And for the Blues, computer says, "Yes," Natasha Raskin.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36So, are you going to be going for the same kind of stuff? Tell me.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37No, I don't think so.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I'm thinking small, something quirky, something unique.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42What on earth are we looking for today? Dan?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Anything, hopefully, music-related. - Music-related? OK.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- And Camilla, anything in particular? - I'll say exactly the same.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I'm looking for something silver.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Maybe a teapot.- A bit sparkly? - A bit sparkly.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Well, teams. Your 60 minutes starts now,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59so let's go!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03And as a bass player, you're going to keep us in time? Is that right?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- I will try my best. - Well, time is of the essence
0:05:06 > 0:05:09so let's not mess around.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- There's two violins.- Violins?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- I knew you'd like that. - It's a toy, isn't it?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- It's just a wooden toy. - No, that's rubbish.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18You don't like it? Right, OK. Walk on.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Ooh! Speak your mind, Anna-Marie!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Here's a thing. You've got banjo barometers.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Nothing to do with actual musical instruments, but banjo-shaped.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- That doesn't appeal?- Hmm.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32I'm trying to look for, like, metals, and stuff, you know?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Things made solid and sturdy.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36What's this one, here?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Is that just a doorstop?
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- Well, that's an iron. - No. That's not for us, Stu.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45It needs to be a more precious metal, I think.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47There's a kind of musical thing over there.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49The deck, there, with the record player,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51and the radio system.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Probably not that one. What do you think?- Carry on.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Too ugly. Too ugly.- I think so.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59OK, teams. Slow down a bit and reflect.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01A hairbrush and mirror set?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- I like this.- Is it silver? - Yeah, that's silver.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05And it would have been part of a full set.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Originally, when it was first made, there would have been
0:06:07 > 0:06:09a couple of brushes, and the mirror.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12That's a clothes brush. You'd have also had your hairbrush.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14There would have been lots of other parts to it.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Now, what's nice here is that it looks
0:06:16 > 0:06:18in wonderful condition, the silver.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Very clear hallmark on the side for Birmingham.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I'd have thought it's around about 1910.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Well, it's silver and it's sparkly, so, I like it.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Shall we have a look at it? - Yes, please.- Yeah?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33We'd like to have a look at the... Yeah.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Oh, look.- Thank you.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39There you go.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41What you can see is that the brush
0:06:41 > 0:06:44has got slightly overzealously cleaned,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47but it's the mirror which has the main part of the value.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51You can see that the actual mirror plate itself is in good condition.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Yeah. Do you want to make an offer on it?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Yeah. Let's go for it.- Yeah?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- What is your bottom... er...bottom?- £48.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01£48?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Could you go £40?- £45?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Can we go for that, then? Fantastic.- There you go.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09That's your first one done very quickly. Marvellous.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Thank you very much.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Ten minutes gone, one item bagged.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Don't worry, Stuart.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17I'm sure Anna-Marie will let you choose the next one.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Now, the Blues have gone back to their childhood.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I know we're thinking music, but I bet that Dan
0:07:22 > 0:07:25and I have a shared sort of memory of these kinds of desks at school.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28And in Brazil, is this the sort of thing you would see at school?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- I've never seen that before. - You've never seen that before?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33But it sounds interesting.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34- Do you want to each take a hinge? - Yeah. Yeah.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37See if there are any hidden treasures?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I mean, it looks quite good, doesn't it?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- A little bit of graffiti. - Oh, look. People wrote things.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45"Dan loves Cam." That sort of thing.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48This was my desk!
0:07:48 > 0:07:50It's not going to be a huge auction estimate.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51But it would be 20-40 quid.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54So, if we could try and buy it for around that £20 mark,
0:07:54 > 0:07:55I think we'd be doing really well.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58But at auction, old furniture is tricky to sell.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01But vintage furniture is sort of hot right now.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Want to have a try, yeah?- You want to do it? You want to take the lead?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Yeah. I'm going to take the lead. - OK. Lead singer. Take it away.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- OK, let's do it. Let's do it.- What's your best offer on the little desk?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16We've got £30 on it. I'd take £25 for it.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Do you think...?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- I think £25 is very cheap. - £25 is cheap.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26- I was thinking £12.50 a half. - That's some good pitch.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- Can we make a tenner each side and make it £20?- Go on, then.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- That's all right, isn't it? I think you should grab his hand.- Thank you.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38That is well done. Let's carry on. Thank you, sir.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Well, it's not exactly musical, but they can see a profit in it.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Over with the Reds, and Stuart's found something right up his street.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I have no idea what that is.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Let me help you.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54It's a surveyor's tool for measuring levels.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Probably would've had a stand, so it'd stand on something.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59You'd normally have another man stood 100 metres away with
0:08:59 > 0:09:02a marker, and then you would look through the eyepiece
0:09:02 > 0:09:04and you'd have to size up until you get the correct
0:09:04 > 0:09:07angle to work out your height in triangulation.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Now, I know, Anna, you're a teacher
0:09:09 > 0:09:12but I think Stuart's now giving us a good lesson.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- This would be sort of late Victorian.- It is, yeah. It is.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21And on the side, here, there's this beautiful copperplate script.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24"Stanley, Great Turnstile,
0:09:24 > 0:09:25"Holborn, London."
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- This is a wonderful thing. - I like it.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I mean, there's lots of information also inside here.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Obviously, you get the company, as well. So this is the box it came in.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36And it's in lovely, original condition. Anna?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Come on. Tell us, what are you feeling?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I'm not sure, actually, Stu.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Really?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47It's your choice. It's your choice.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I think it's a nice piece. I think it's a good box.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52And for the age, as well. I mean, looking on it,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I think it's got markings for...
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- ..1926.- 1926?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Yep. And that was when it was repaired and adjusted.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01So, it was sent back to Stanley.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04You can see how they've changed their label.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05They've modernised their design.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08It's lovely to still have its original, fitted box.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12£145 on it, which is not a lot of money
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- for a wonderful bit of kit. - I wouldn't spend £140 on this.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I, personally, if I was buying this for myself, I would.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- How long have you two been married? - You're not buying it for yourself.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Three months.- Three months? Marvellous, marvellous.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26We'll find a divorce lawyer in a minute.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I think we should keep looking but I want to keep this
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- on the back burner. - On your back burner?- Yeah.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- The absolute best price would be £120.- £120. OK.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36OK, teams. Half an hour gone.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40So, might I suggest you step up the pace?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42That is a nice thing, isn't it?
0:10:42 > 0:10:47For ten quid. Oh. For goodness' sake. Well, it was a lovely thing.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48I mean, you've got two tier.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51When it's closed, it looks like a nice occasional table.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53It's a sewing box inside.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55You open it up and you've got all the compartments.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I don't think we should go for another piece of furniture.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- I think we should have a look for something else.- Yeah?- Yes.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Good plan, Blues. I like your thinking.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Now, where are those Reds?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10They also have two more items to buy. Things are getting desperate.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- How much have you got on the Japanese lacquer?- I'm asking 1,200.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Well, there we go.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Price wise, at the other end of the scale,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20the Blues have found some bookends.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22It says damaged, hence the price.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I think that our damage might be, if I pass that to you...
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I think our damage might be this section here. You can see that?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- It's glued, yes. - So it's come right off.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32But actually, it's been quite a clean break
0:11:32 > 0:11:35and it could be quite easily repaired. Yeah.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Is Art Deco something that you're into?- Yeah, I like it.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- What do you think?- I've no idea.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- It looks nice, I'll go with it. - I'm quite keen on these, actually.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- Me too. Me too. - Very defined in structure.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52And then we've got some sort of gilded metal here.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56It's likely to be a spelter base, so not a fine precious metal,
0:11:56 > 0:12:00but certainly a composite metal that we can easily mould.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- I mean, £22, so if we can get between 10 and 15...- OK.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07..then we're doing all right. Go for it, girl.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Hi. What's the best you can do for that?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- It's broken, I mean... - It is damaged, yes.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16And considering the damage, I'll do those for £15.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- OK, best is 15.- What do you think? - I'm happy with 15.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- Can't really go wrong with £15. - Yeah.- Nope.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- I think we should go for it. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Come on, guys. Ten minutes left and one to buy.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30And, Reds, you still have two.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Come on, kids. We need to buy something.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Yeah, I like this. - You like that?- That's nice.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Satsuma ware, it's Japanese.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Date wise, around about 1910.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44You've got a mark on the bottom.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47That could well be the artist and it's not one I recognise.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49The gilding's good.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52We're short of time. Shall we just ask how much it is quickly?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- £60.- 50?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- 60.- 60.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- That's more than what I thought, actually.- Can you manage 40?
0:13:01 > 0:13:05No. 50.
0:13:05 > 0:13:0645?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- OK, 45. Yes.- OK.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Do you think?- Yes. - That was nice and quick.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Crack on, then!
0:13:13 > 0:13:16One to go, with just a few minutes left.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Back to you as a photographer.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Is there anything here jumping out to you?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- I like that one.- That's chic, isn't it?- That looks really cool.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- So, collapsible lens, but also portable.- Yes.- That's quite cool.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Shall we have a closer look? - Yeah, let's have a look.- OK.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32So, we've got its model there, Kodak 66, Model 3.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Wow.- It's got its case, which is nice.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38What do we think about the price? What have we got here?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41So £28. We've got folding camera, Kodak 66.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Let's try, shall we? - Who's going to do that?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- With you being a photographer... - How about a joint effort?- Yeah.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50- Yeah, let's try both.- Husband and wife together.- Marital arguments...
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- I think I'll leave you to it. - ..aside.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- As low as you can.- OK.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Make it snappy though, Blues.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59The Reds have gone for their fall back plan of the surveyor's
0:13:59 > 0:14:02level, which they haggled down to £120 earlier.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09We are £10 over what we can. Do you think you could drop another £10?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Honestly, I couldn't.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- 120 is the absolute... - 120 is the absolute death on that.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17That is a face which is telling the truth.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Honestly, 120 would be the absolute best.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- Stuart.- Yeah, I think we'd like to go ahead and purchase it.- Fantastic.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - Well, there we go.- All done.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29That's three items done, we've got
0:14:29 > 0:14:32about three minutes left, not even time for an ice cream.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Did you hear that, Blues? Three minutes!
0:14:35 > 0:14:39What's the best offer that you can do on this?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I've got it marked 28, but you can have it for 20.
0:14:42 > 0:14:4418?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Yeah, go on... OK, go on, then.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- 18 quid. Are you happy to shake on that?- Yes.- Yes.- OK.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Fantastic, thank you. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Stop!
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Your time is up!
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Let's go and get a cup of tea.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I don't know about you, but I need a sit down. Come on now.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01It's now time to sell.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Today, our teams' lots are going before the bidders of Derbyshire
0:15:04 > 0:15:06at Hansons Auctioneers in Etwall.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11But first, let's remind ourselves what the Red team have bought.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15First up was the Georgian silverback mirror and brush for £45.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Next was the early 20th century Japanese satsuma sugar
0:15:21 > 0:15:24bowl for another £45.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Finally, the boxed Stanley surveying sight and level was bought for £120.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- How much did you leave him with? - £90.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38£90. Did you feel happy leaving him with £90?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41No, I wanted to leave him less.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Ben, were you happy to have £90?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Well, it was enough to go out and buy something interesting.- Yep.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50But I also decided that I had to go and find something which I think
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Anna-Marie will go, "Ooh!"
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- Anna-Marie, no pressure, but let's have a look.- Right.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Ooh!
0:15:58 > 0:16:01LAUGHTER You see?!
0:16:01 > 0:16:03While we were going around, I spotted this.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I mean, it's a kettle. So, it's got the burner.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07It's in good condition.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10It's a bit yesterday's antique, in one respect, but then again,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13these used to be well over £100.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- 150.- They were. What is it, about 1900?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- I'd have thought so. 1890-1900, yeah.- Yeah.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22You know, there's room for a bit of profit, I hope.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24What do you reckon I paid for it?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- What do you think? I think...45? - No.- 50?- Maybe a bit more.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- 50.- 50.- Mm. - Not bad. Happy with that?
0:16:32 > 0:16:37- Yeah, I think so.- Yeah. - That wasn't unqualified, was it?!
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- It's silver plated. - What do you think it could make?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43It could squeeze up to 60-65.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47You don't seem too sure, Reds. But not to worry, decide later.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Now for the Blues.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54They chalked up the wooden double school desk for £20.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Next, they fawned over the Art Deco bookends, paying £15 for the pair.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08In the dying seconds, they purchased the folding Kodak camera for £18.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14You left Natasha with £247!
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Is that not a dangerous tactic?!
0:17:17 > 0:17:18What do you think, Natasha?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Well, I was quite excited to have all that money.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I fact, it is probably the largest amount
0:17:23 > 0:17:27of leftover lolly I have ever been left, so I thought,
0:17:27 > 0:17:29"Now is my opportunity to spend."
0:17:29 > 0:17:32And spend, I did, on...
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Oh! - ..our favourite little work table.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Do you remember it?
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Yes, I do, yeah.- Let me reveal the interior to you again.
0:17:39 > 0:17:45- Oh!- See, it just glides... - Oh!- ..so beautifully...- Gosh.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48..to reveal all sorts of bobbins and things.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52It comes with some accessories. I actually couldn't believe
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- how much I spent on it.- Yeah.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56£8.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57LAUGHTER
0:17:57 > 0:18:01You know what's a nice thing? When we looked at this, I thought,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04"Oh, well, 19, maybe, '50s, '60s." I think, in hindsight,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- probably a wee bit earlier. - It's earlier. If we said 1940,
0:18:07 > 0:18:08I don't think we'd be far off.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10It could do with a wee French polish on the wood.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I'm not sure - mahogany, walnut. It's a good-quality thing, anyway.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17And the design of tapering legs, it just never goes out of fashion.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20How much do you think we are going to make with this at auction?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23A pretty penny. We cannot fail to make a profit on this.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Confident words. But will Natasha be right?
0:18:27 > 0:18:31It's now time to sell. Charles Hanson, take it away!
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Stuart and Anna-Marie. Have you been to a sale before?- No.- No.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Never been to an auction?- No. - Oh, how exciting is that?!
0:18:38 > 0:18:40We've got a good full room, which does help.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41And we've got a good buzz.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Here comes your matching mirror and brush.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Very finely-embossed hand mirror and matching brush.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I am only bid £12.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53I am asking 15, 18, 20, 22. 5.
0:18:53 > 0:18:5525, madam? 25, in pink.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I have got 8. Bid 30. Bid 30.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I'm out. 30, I'm bid. Do I see 2 now? £30. Surely 2?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Surely 2?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Come on! Fair warning...
0:19:06 > 0:19:072, 5.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- 35.- He's doing all he can for you! - Yes!- Come on!
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Bid 40...
0:19:14 > 0:19:16..or I sell it. That's it. Out online,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19at £38. All done.
0:19:20 > 0:19:26Well. Minus £7. People have done a lot worse with their first lots.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Historically, I would say that is something of a triumph.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Now, we have the Satsuma pottery twin-handled sucrier and cover.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I am only bid...£12.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- I am asking £15.- £12?!- 15, 18, 20.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41£20. 22, 25.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I'm out. Come on, it's a good object this.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Full of Eastern vigour. 25.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Surely 8?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I sell to the lady. That's it.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- He's begging!- 25. Going once...going twice...
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- At £25.- 25.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57That's minus 20.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00So, we are down 27, but now, we've got
0:20:00 > 0:20:03the Stanley surveying sight and level.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Look at this. It is a really good object. 40, I'm bid. Do I see 5 now?
0:20:08 > 0:20:0940, I'm bid. Surely 5?
0:20:09 > 0:20:1450, 5, 60, 5, 70, 5. How about 85. Do I see 2?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Got to go. Fair warning. Bid me 2.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- 80.- By commission. I'll take 2.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23For the first time... I'll take 2. Good object.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- We're only losing £40(!) - I'm out. Surely, a fiver?
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Good object. Make no mistake.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31We're live in the saleroom. Fair warning.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33At £82.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36£82. Goodness me.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39That means you have lost £65.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Now, you have this big choice.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Do you go with Ben's super
0:20:44 > 0:20:50bonus buy, the electro-plated kettle on a stand? He paid £50 for it.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- Yep.- OK.- You're going with the bonus buy? You have confidence
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- in this man? - No, I think it's desperation!
0:20:58 > 0:21:02There we are. This wonderful kettle. 57. Late Victorian,
0:21:02 > 0:21:04could be Edwardian, just.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07And I am bid here only £10.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Oh, no! £10.
0:21:09 > 0:21:1112, 15, 18, 20, 2.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16I'm out. Look at this object. At £22. Surely a fiver now? At 22.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18At 22. Surely 5?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- It's a lot for the money. - Are you sure, sir? 25. Bid 8
0:21:22 > 0:21:26or I sell to the lady seated. Fair warning. I am asking 8
0:21:26 > 0:21:30or I sell, at £25.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- That's it. - GAVEL BANGS
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Well, that's a loss of 25.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37That rounds you up to a very neat minus 90.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Now, don't worry. 90 can be a winning score
0:21:41 > 0:21:45and, remember, not a word to the Blues.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- Have you seen the auctioneer?- Yeah. - He's a performer. Like yourselves,
0:21:55 > 0:21:59he is a performer. Like Natasha. She's a performer.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00This is the moment.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04We can't put it off any more. We're coming up, with the school desk.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08A wooden double school pine desk,
0:22:08 > 0:22:11with inkwell, recesses and a hinged writing surface.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Where do we start this?
0:22:13 > 0:22:18£10. Just look at this desk. 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 22.
0:22:18 > 0:22:2325. Are you sure, madam? 25, and it's gone. 28.
0:22:23 > 0:22:2630. Are you sure, madam? Not one for the road?
0:22:26 > 0:22:30I'm asking 30. 5. It's a cracking desk. 35.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Are you sure?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Make a memory.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- I've got 30. I'll take 5, standing. - Look at him go!- 40.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- Ooh!- Bid now 40 or I sell to the lady who is standing,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45at £35. Madam, well done.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46It's yours.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Plus £15!
0:22:49 > 0:22:50What a solid start!
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- Feels good.- Bookends coming up next.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Art Deco-style bookends. I am only bid £10. I am asking 12 now.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00They're charming. 12, 15, 18. I'm out. 18 bid.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15Bid 30. For the second time... Bid 30.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18There's another man bidding down there, look! He's waving like mad!
0:23:18 > 0:23:22I'll take 2, Lenny. 32. 35 down here. 35. 38.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Are you sure?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26£35. All done?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Sing it, Charlie. Well done!
0:23:29 > 0:23:33£35. It's another £20. You've got
0:23:33 > 0:23:37£35 profit. This is very consistent work, team.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12It's yours, madam.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16It's amazing!
0:24:16 > 0:24:18£7 for the camera.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21You've got £42,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24so you've got a decision to make, because the bonus buy is coming up.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28It's the walnut work table.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- What do you think? - I think we should go for it.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Go for it?- Yeah, I think so.- Yeah.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- Let's go for it.- Here we go.- A very good washed work table. 12, I'm bid.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Do I see 15? 18, 20. 20, I'm out.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42I'm asking 2 now. Come on! At 22.
0:24:42 > 0:24:445. This is a good object.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Let's hold at 25? 28.
0:24:45 > 0:24:4730.
0:24:47 > 0:24:502... 5...
0:24:50 > 0:24:51I'm asking 5 now.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Fair warning! I shall sell it.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Bid 5 or I sell to you, sir,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59at £32. Well done, sir. It's yours.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Guys, this is so good!
0:25:02 > 0:25:0524 plus.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07£66!
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Clickety-click!
0:25:10 > 0:25:14And the £66 was a winning score,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16and with Golden Gavels on top.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Well done, Blues!
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Coming up, two more teams battling it out at the fair and auction.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- Will they be up for a challenge? - What are they?- They're dumps.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Dumps!- They're called dumps.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Meanwhile, I'm off to Burton for a beverage.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Famous the world over,
0:25:37 > 0:25:42the great British pub is an unique institution.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45However, the concept of a drinking venue was first
0:25:45 > 0:25:48introduced by the Romans some 2,000 years ago.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Now, the Romans called these drinking venues tabernae and they
0:25:54 > 0:25:58were built for the Roman army at a time when ale was the local brew.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03The tabernae became tavern, which became pub,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06a place with which we're very familiar today.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09# Another little drink and another little drink
0:26:09 > 0:26:12# Another little drink won't do us any harm... #
0:26:12 > 0:26:15And of course, it's the pub that's home to the humble pint.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20I'm here to meet Des McGonigle at the National Brewery Museum
0:26:20 > 0:26:22in Burton upon Trent.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Des, you're the head guide here.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Tell me more about beer production in Burton upon Trent.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31By the 1880s, we had 30 breweries in Burton upon Trent.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Bass, William Bass, has got his first brewery in 1777.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Within 100 years, it's one of the biggest
0:26:37 > 0:26:41brewers in the world, producing over one million barrels of beer a year.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- A million barrels. - A million barrels of beer a year.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46How was all the beer distributed to the pubs?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49By horses, mostly Shire horses.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52They would also use Clydesdales and Suffolks as well.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55So, bigger horses, bigger wagons, smaller horses, smaller wagons.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Yeah. And they were called drays? - Drays, yes.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- Could we have a look at a dray? - Of course you can.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- There's one over there waiting for us.- Thank you.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Just how important were these drays to the brewery?
0:27:12 > 0:27:13The drays were really important,
0:27:13 > 0:27:16not just for actually delivering the beer to the local pubs,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20but also for use within the brewery yards to transport material from
0:27:20 > 0:27:21one side of the yard to the other,
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- but also from different breweries. - Yeah, yeah.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28And when were horses superseded by a different sort of horsepower?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30The big decline came after the First World War.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34A number of horses were taken off obviously to serve
0:27:34 > 0:27:38in the First World War and by about 1919, Bass had 120 horses left.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42By this time, a lot of movement within the brewery yards was
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- done by tractors.- Yes.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46And then some of the wagons were used to deliver beer,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49also tractors were used to pull them around.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53The last Bass horse was a horse called Monty.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54He actually died in the 1960s,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57but his last working day was in the '50s.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- In the '50s, as late as that? - Yes.- Yeah.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03So, Des, can you talk me through these two vehicles behind?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06The vehicle to the left is a Leyland Beaver.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08It was built in 1949, belonged Mitchell and Butler's brewery,
0:28:08 > 0:28:12at Cape Hill in Birmingham, and that vehicle is roadworthy today.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15ALE 1, which is the correct numberplate for that vehicle...
0:28:15 > 0:28:17It's a real numberplate?
0:28:17 > 0:28:18Yeah, we use this one daily
0:28:18 > 0:28:21and that is basically based on a Ford Transit van.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Looks like a Model T Ford, not a Ford Transit.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Inside, sometimes we have a bar put in,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29so we put the hatch down, have some beers in there.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Well, I don't know if you can arrange this,
0:28:31 > 0:28:33but could I have a lift, please?
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- Course you can.- Thank you. - Barry, off you go.- Ooh!
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Quite exciting!
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Yes, I'm off to the Newark and Nottinghamshire Showground
0:28:42 > 0:28:44where another set of teams are waiting for me.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48The Reds are game for a laugh...
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- How's the action?- Let's have a look and see. Is he going to score there?
0:28:51 > 0:28:52Oh, yes!
0:28:54 > 0:28:55...whilst the Blues hit a bum note.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Also known as...the bum nut.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59Oh, of course, yes!
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- When you turn it over... - Look at them cheeks!
0:29:04 > 0:29:09Now for today's programme, we have two pairs of great friends.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12For the Red team, we have Marianne and Pat.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15And for the Blue team, we have Liz and Jane. Hello, all of you.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20- ALL:- Hello!- Oh, my goodness gracious me, that was positively deafening.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- Now Pat, you're a retired teacher?- Yes.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27- What age group did you teach? - Well, I taught every age group.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- I started off in the primary sector.- Yeah?
0:29:30 > 0:29:32I went on to teach teachers in IT
0:29:32 > 0:29:34in the early days of IT.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36I taught in secondary school as well.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Goodness gracious me. So, you really have an amazing CV.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- Now, Marianne, you also taught as well, didn't you?- I did, yes.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47I went into teaching quite late on in life.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51- Well, recently, I went to university when I was about 45.- Did you?- Yes.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- A mature student? - A very mature student.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56And I had some wonderful years training.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Now you're also something of an action girl, aren't you?
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Well, I do like doing lots of things in the fresh air
0:30:02 > 0:30:03and in the outdoors.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05And, um...
0:30:05 > 0:30:10After my husband died, I wanted to start doing things off my own bat.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- Yeah.- And I decided that the first thing I would do would be
0:30:14 > 0:30:17to cycle from John O'Groats to Land's End.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18How long did it take you?
0:30:18 > 0:30:20It was about two weeks.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23I think that's phenomenal! SHE LAUGHS
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Now when it comes to the nitty-gritty, to the shopping,
0:30:25 > 0:30:27are you going to be spending enormous
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- or just in miserable little bits? - I'd like to think enormous.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33I don't often get the opportunity to go and spend enormous like that.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Well, I'm going to be giving you a lot of money
0:30:35 > 0:30:36and make sure you spend it.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Now, Elizabeth and Jane.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Elizabeth, it was your husbands, I think,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42that brought you together, wasn't it?
0:30:42 > 0:30:44That's right, they both belong to the same running club.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47So, we used to turn up to support, do a bit of coat holding.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51Then they moved on to cycling so we trundled along to the cycling.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54So we started having coffee and cake while they were out and...
0:30:54 > 0:30:59- They did the running and cycling and you did the coffee and cake?- Yeah.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01- Sounds my sort of exercise. - I think we got a better deal, yeah.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Now, Liz, you're not a cycling widow any more
0:31:03 > 0:31:05because you cycle yourself, don't you?
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Yeah, I ride the back half of a tandem.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Now, Jane, you're a school cook, aren't you?
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Which must mean you're a busy girl.
0:31:11 > 0:31:17I am. Every day, term time, I cook for about 500 children.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18Goodness me.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20And you also like a bit of kitchenalia, don't you? As well.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- Yeah, bits and pieces.- Do you just collect them or do you use them?
0:31:23 > 0:31:25No, I just like looking at them.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27- Would you be looking for those sort of things today?- Well, maybe.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- But you're going to have fun, aren't you?- Of course we are!
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- You're going to enjoy it, everyone?- Indeed.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- Now, girls, I've got 300 of the best for you.- Thank you.
0:31:35 > 0:31:40- 300 of the best for you.- Oh, thank you.- Off you go.- Thank you!
0:31:40 > 0:31:42These girls are going to have a lot of fun.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Right, girls. We're here so have you got any idea what you'd like to buy?
0:31:48 > 0:31:50I'd quite like something small and silver.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54But truly, as long as we beat the Reds, I'm not really bothered.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56I do like Victorian jewellery.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Well, if she's going small and silver,
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- I'm going to go big and rusty. - DEEP GROWL
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Your 60 minutes starts straight away.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Shop! KLAXON HOOTS
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Let's not waste any time. Let's go, let's go.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Let's head off and see what we can buy.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15OK, Jane's straight in. No, she's not. She's out.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- Well, it's just... - She's in, she's out.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Well, our girls are raring to go today.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Use your eyes and see what talks to you.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- Shame about the chandeliers!- Oh!
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- Got to think profit at auction.- Yes.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33That's the general idea, Ben.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- Two cabinets.- Something that talked to me at this stall.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41The bagatelle has caught my eye
0:32:41 > 0:32:44and it's probably just childhood memories of playing it.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48- Would you like to have a closer look?- That would be lovely.- Right.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50So...now there we go.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- Yeah, it's quite good condition, isn't it?- Yes, yes.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57It's in lovely condition. And you slide back here.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- So you can sit there and... - Yeah.- How's the action?- Right.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03There's a question!
0:33:03 > 0:33:07Let's have a look and see. Is he going to score there?
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- Oh! Yes!- 40! Yeah! - HE LAUGHS
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- Well done.- Why don't we...? - Can I feel?
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- It's like a leather surface. - Yeah, and it's...
0:33:15 > 0:33:17obviously the original covering.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19- Because of the way you've got the numbers on.- Yeah.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- The one I used to play with was all wood.- Yeah.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26- Shall we ask the gent what he's got on it?- Yes, please. Yes.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Hi, there, can you tell us what have you got on it?
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- £25.- £25?
0:33:31 > 0:33:32Now, what do you think, girls?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34What's your best price?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Oh, I can do £20.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40- What do you think? - Well, put it this way.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- At £20, you're not going to lose an awful lot.- Mm-hm.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- I wouldn't say you're going to make an awful lot.- No.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48But at the same time, it's quite nice you're both agreeing.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50BOTH LAUGH
0:33:51 > 0:33:53You end up with absolutely no agreement.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- It's up to you, girls. - Yeah, go for it, shall we?
0:33:56 > 0:33:58- Do you want to go with it? - Yes, I'm very happy.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- You better shake the gent's hand, then.- A really nice price.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04- Thank you!- Thank you so much. - Thank you.- And thank you!
0:34:04 > 0:34:08That's all right. Thank you. Well, that was all a bit quick.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12We're only a couple of minutes down, we've got at least 50 minutes to go.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13We've got two more things to buy.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- We've got plenty of money to play with.- Bye-bye!
0:34:17 > 0:34:22Have they bagged a bargain with the bagatelle? Only time will tell.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Anyway, well done, Reds. That's your first buy.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26What have you clocked?
0:34:26 > 0:34:30- The big seed pod. - Oh, the seed pod. Also known as...?
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- No, it's a coco... - Coco de mer. Also know as...?
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- I don't know the other name for it. - The bum nut.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- Ha-ha!- Oh, of course, yes! - Because...- When you turn it over.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- Look at them cheeks! - SHE LAUGHS
0:34:42 > 0:34:45So good, is it not? I mean, it's a little bit naughty looking.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47And they grow in the Seychelles.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49That's the only place from which they originate.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51They fall off the tree and they float on the water.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54So, quite often, sailors would pluck these out of the water
0:34:54 > 0:34:58and they would carve intricate tea caddies and all sorts out of them.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00This one here has become a kind of basket of sorts, hasn't it,
0:35:00 > 0:35:04with the handle? But still, it's been quite nicely worked.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05- Now...- There's no price.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08There is no price on it and we need to find out what it's worth.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13- £140.- £140 and that's the absolute death?- £140?- Yeah.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14I would say at auction,
0:35:14 > 0:35:16because of the way it's been worked, probably...
0:35:16 > 0:35:18It's not going to get that.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21..we'll be talking about £80-120, £70-90, something like that.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25- But £140...- No.- I don't know, do you want to splash that much cash?
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- No.- No?- No.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Well, you certainly have an eye for finding quality, Blues.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Whilst the Reds have an eye for something else.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- BOTH LAUGH - Calm down, calm down.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40I don't want it but... it caught my eye!
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Hmm, matron! Just move on, Ben.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44Going straight to the back room.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48OK, Liz. You're in like Flynn. Show me what you're looking at.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51I really like that little heart-shaped perfume bottle.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- I think it's really attractive. - Very attractive, isn't it?
0:35:54 > 0:35:57And what's handy is that our stall holder has put the date on it,
0:35:57 > 0:35:59so we are literally turn of the century,
0:35:59 > 0:36:01first year of the 20th century.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04We're 1900, we're marked in Birmingham.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07So, it's a big major assay office but it also has
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- quite a hefty price tag. - It does have a hefty price tag.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11I've got expensive tastes!
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Well, I'm sure you've been told that before.
0:36:13 > 0:36:18Another pricey item! Time for a rethink, perhaps?
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Well, that brooch is quite nice. - I like that.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- It's not a gold one.- Oh, right.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25And what is the cost of that then?
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- Well, the best on that will be £90. - Do you mind if I have a look?
0:36:30 > 0:36:32- I do rather like that, Marianne. - Yes, I do as well.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36This is, I would have thought, is around about 1860, 1850 in date?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38I agree.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40What's useful with earlier jewellery like this,
0:36:40 > 0:36:42you feel the weight of it.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- It actually is quite lightweight. - Oh, yes!
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- Which means it can be worn on modern fabrics.- Yeah.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50So it is a very wearable piece.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- So it could be worn either way, couldn't it?- Yeah.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56- And it also could be put onto a pendant, even.- Yeah.- Yeah...
0:36:56 > 0:36:58I mean, I don't know...
0:36:58 > 0:36:59I mean, are the stones...
0:36:59 > 0:37:02They're just paste, are they? I would have thought.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04This would look lovely on something dark, wouldn't it?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- I go to sort of things... - And when it's...
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- It looks nice on there. - It looks very nice on you.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- It would look a bit odd. I mean, it does look...- It suits you.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- Does it?- It looks beautiful. - It brings out my eyes?- Yes, it does!
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- I mean, the lady has already quoted us £90.- Right.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20She might be able to do a little bit more. We can have a...
0:37:20 > 0:37:22I mean, is there any chance you can do any better for us?
0:37:22 > 0:37:26We'll do it for £80. There is a ticket price of a hundred and...
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- £135 on it.- Oh, I didn't see that.- 130, yes! Yes!
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- Well, at £80, I think the lady is being...- Very reasonable.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- ..very fair.- I can't... - So what are you thinking, girls?
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- So is it a yes?- Yes.- Yes.- Would you like to shake the lady's hand?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Indeed! Thank you so much. - Thank you so much.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43Thank you for the information.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46I say, ladies. That's two buys in 25 minutes,
0:37:46 > 0:37:48which is more than can be said for our Blues
0:37:48 > 0:37:50who haven't bought a single thing.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52So, they're talking tactics.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56It's quite expensive in here. We should perhaps go back outside.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57Shall we give Natasha a call?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Natasha?- Yes.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- We're going back outside. We think it's a bit too much.- Back outside?
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- Too expensive?- Yeah.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07We all like a plan, especially a good one.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- The clock!- Don't look at the boxes, they're too expensive.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Don't look at the boxes, get out. Thank you!
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- They're worth it but they're too expensive.- They're so cute.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Will you stop stopping?
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Yes, focus, ladies.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19You guys are going to fall out, are you?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22They may not fall out but they may run out of time.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Lead the way, Natasha.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25We don't even have one thing under our belt.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- We don't have anything! - We don't have anything.- Right.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29Maybe we could appeal to the gentleman.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- Is there anything interesting that we're missing?- The decanter.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34The silver collar. It's pretty chic, isn't it?
0:38:34 > 0:38:36OK, let's have a little look.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38I mean, that's got a serious weight to it
0:38:38 > 0:38:40so we're talking lead crystal here.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41OK, not so scary.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44I'm not so scared of your price tag. Do we have a hallmark on it?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- Oh, we do. Mappin & Webb. - Oh, that's really...
0:38:46 > 0:38:50So we have here a designer decanter. 1937.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54OK, so we are in that sort of mid-war period.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58It's 1937, we've got a beautiful piece of cut glass here
0:38:58 > 0:39:01which no doubt would have been on display on the mantelpiece
0:39:01 > 0:39:04because this is not a piece to hide.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Mappin & Webb is a piece to display and to show your wealth.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- And it is lovely, isn't it? It's super attractive.- It's beautiful.
0:39:11 > 0:39:16- So, it's marked up at £95.- £95. And the best you can do, sir, is?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18I'll do it for 80.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Let me tell you, I reckon auction estimate for this
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- is going to be 60 to 80, 50 to 70. - Go on, then, Natasha.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- It's sort of all the money at £80. - Yeah. We'll go for it.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- You're quite happy to go for it? - We're happy!
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Yeah, we'll go for it, we'll feel happier when we've got something
0:39:31 > 0:39:33- under our belts.- OK. It's risky but you're keen?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- Yeah, we'll risk it.- Yeah.- OK. - We'll risk it for a Swisskit.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Well, I would say shake the gentleman's hand.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Thank you very much. So I'll put that back down there.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45They'll keep it aside for us. And thank you ever so much, bye-bye.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49Oh, at last! But that's only your first item, Blues.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51You need to get a move on.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54You have another two to find and time is ticking.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58- 43 minutes gone.- No!- No!- Probably...
0:39:58 > 0:39:59ALL LAUGH
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Probably 44 by the end of that "no"!
0:40:03 > 0:40:06It's all a little bit frantic though, isn't it?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- That's quite cool, isn't it? The baby's sort of pen.- Yeah.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Does that... Do you hate that?
0:40:11 > 0:40:13You hate that, OK.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Nice try though, Natasha.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19At long last, the Blues have got their hands on something -
0:40:19 > 0:40:23a tea caddy marked up at £42.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Here's a sarcophagus-shaped box.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Let's have a look inside.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30We've got silk lining but we don't have any compartments.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Little bit of staining, French polish would sort that out.
0:40:33 > 0:40:34Let's have a little look.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37We've got nice cross-banding across the front.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39We've got a nice, clean brass escutcheon.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- That's all there, no problem. We've got bun feet.- Four bun feet.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45We've got four of them, they're all there. Yes!
0:40:45 > 0:40:49It's veneered wood and you can see it's quite crudely done.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53But I think that if we take this to our stallholder, plead with him
0:40:53 > 0:40:54- and say...- Greatly.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58- .."Kind sir, we want this for less than half price."- Yes.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00- "It's in a bad way and so are we."- Yeah.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- "Give it to us for 20 quid, no more."- Go for it, Jane!
0:41:02 > 0:41:05- I was going £15?- Go for it.- Go for it, Jane!
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Jane, take the lead.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Don't come back here without that box!
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- How do you think she's going to get on?- She's going to do it.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14She's going to come out of that really well.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16That's the spirit, Blues!
0:41:16 > 0:41:19What kind of a face is that? You're hard to read, Jane.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- You're hard to read here.- Sorry.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26- The bad news - the lowest he'll take is £30.- What do you think?
0:41:26 > 0:41:28We're running out of time, missus!
0:41:28 > 0:41:29Do we take it?
0:41:29 > 0:41:33- You can do it and we'll go back to plan A.- Oh, what's plan A?
0:41:33 > 0:41:36That was to go up and ask for the cheapest thing on the next stall.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38SHE LAUGHS
0:41:38 > 0:41:40That's not a plan of which I was aware!
0:41:40 > 0:41:43But I tell you what, at this stage, it's a plan I like.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47Maybe it's a plan that could have been put to use earlier, girls.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Right, let's take it and run because listen, we've got ten minutes left.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53We need to find one more item and we need to do it pronto.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56- Couldn't have put it better myself, Natasha.- Go, go, go.- Go, go!
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Choose your stall wisely.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02Talking of final buys, our Reds seem to have slowed right down, too.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04We're down to our last ten minutes.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08It was all going so well and we seem to have kind of lost time. So...
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- Refocus.- We need to refocus, look carefully
0:42:11 > 0:42:12and we need to buy something.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- Marianne, what do you think about the glass?- Yeah.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- I like them, you know, very much. - What are they?- They're dumps.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25- Dumps?- Called dumps.- All right. - They're paperweights.- Right.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26Condition's important.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28So, some you can see... And they're priced accordingly,
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- because they've been bruised and what have you.- Right, yes.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Well, we're quite short on time.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Shall we see if the gentleman has got much movement in his prices?
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- So, is the guy there? - Yes. You all right there?
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- Do you mind...?- Yes, it's my stall. - We're really very desperate.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44- I shall help you out.- Right.- Good.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47And these, sort of five or six years ago,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49- were probably about £120.- Yeah.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51- They've come down a lot. - Yes, but we're talking...
0:42:51 > 0:42:55- It's all relative.- Indeed.- And what kind of movement have you got?
0:42:55 > 0:43:00- Say for the large one?- Uh, £55. Yes.- £55.- It's in lovely nick.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03You know, it's in lovely nick. They use them as doorstops.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05- You know, it's too damaged. - Windowsills.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08- I rather like that one there. - You like this one?
0:43:08 > 0:43:10- This one has got a bit of a bish... - Oh, right. OK.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- ..on it and bished on the side. - Oh, even more so.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15- What about that one there? - Ooh.- Whatever.
0:43:17 > 0:43:22- He's actually...- He's not bad. - Not bad. What can that chap be?
0:43:22 > 0:43:26- Uh, £40.- £40.- What do you reckon, Marianne?- That is a definite.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28- Are we short of time? - We're short on time.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31- So are we going to make a profit? - I don't think we're going to...
0:43:31 > 0:43:33I think they're going to be a bit of a break even.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35I don't think there's going to be much to be made.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37- But I think the gent's being very generous.- Right.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40I think it's about time you shake your hand before the big gong goes
0:43:40 > 0:43:43- and we've failed.- Done! - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45Thank you very much, sir. Cheers.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47Well done, Reds. Now with just a few minutes to go,
0:43:47 > 0:43:50panic well and truly kicks in with the Blues.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52I don't know, I couldn't make a decision.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54You'll have to make the decision.
0:43:54 > 0:43:56Ladies, we haven't gone back to the coco de mer.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59- The bum nut, we've abandoned the bum.- We have.- What do you think?
0:43:59 > 0:44:01- Plan B for bum.- Plan B for bum! - And we're running.- Go for it.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04- OK, I'm following you, ladies. - Let's go!
0:44:04 > 0:44:07- Don't even know where it was! - It wasn't on this row.
0:44:07 > 0:44:08It wasn't on this row?
0:44:08 > 0:44:11If they chuck us out, don't worry, I'll vouch for you.
0:44:11 > 0:44:12Right.
0:44:13 > 0:44:17- Oh, found it!- Oh, she's found it. Right. There we go.
0:44:17 > 0:44:18There she is! Ha, ha!
0:44:18 > 0:44:22- Wielding a bottom. Normal. Here we are.- Bum, bum!
0:44:22 > 0:44:23We didn't meet you before, sir.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25Hello, we are the Blue team, collectively,
0:44:25 > 0:44:26it's how we're known.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29And we like this lovely coco de mer.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33- Ladies, take it away.- What is your best price on this, please, sir?
0:44:33 > 0:44:35Very best, I think that'd cost £140.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37£130 would be the absolute best.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40- Can we not just do a round £100? - No.- It's the end of the day.
0:44:40 > 0:44:41End of the day.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44- No, I've owned it a week. - It may well be the end of the day
0:44:44 > 0:44:47but that's the gentleman's best price so we have to respect that.
0:44:47 > 0:44:51So...three minutes left on the clock. What do you reckon?
0:44:51 > 0:44:55- Yeah, three minutes. We can't take the strain!- Can't take the strain?
0:44:55 > 0:44:58- I say if that's as far as he's going, go for it.- Take it.- Why not?
0:44:58 > 0:45:00Yes. £130, sir.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:45:02 > 0:45:03Ah!
0:45:04 > 0:45:06HORN BLOWS
0:45:06 > 0:45:09Right, teams. Stop clowning around. Your time is up.
0:45:09 > 0:45:11Hey! Oh, brilliant. Well done.
0:45:11 > 0:45:15The shopping's done. Time to go to auction
0:45:15 > 0:45:18and we've returned to Hansons Auctioneers in Etwall.
0:45:18 > 0:45:23But first let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26First, they picked up the bagatelle game for £20.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32Their second buy came in the shape of a yellow metal
0:45:32 > 0:45:35and red paste brooch for which they paid £80.
0:45:36 > 0:45:40And lastly, they paid £40 for the glass dump paperweight.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45Marianne and Pat, this is the exciting moment.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47What's under the cloth?
0:45:47 > 0:45:49Shall we have a look?
0:45:49 > 0:45:52- Ooh!- Ooh, yes! - SHE GIGGLES
0:45:52 > 0:45:54- Ooh, you'll like that, Marianne? - Well, yes, I do.
0:45:54 > 0:45:58- With £160, how much do you think I actually spent?- Oh, my gosh.
0:45:58 > 0:46:02- Well, I'm going to say about £60. - No idea.
0:46:02 > 0:46:06- I actually spent £30.- Ooh!
0:46:06 > 0:46:10- Well, that's why I'm...- Now, it's a true antique. Three pieces.
0:46:10 > 0:46:14They date to around about 1810, 1820.
0:46:14 > 0:46:18Not 100% sure of the factory but it's very much after Worcester.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20But each piece at only a tenner.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23So, how much do you think it's going to make?
0:46:23 > 0:46:26Well, I hope it should double its money.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30- It might not. - OTHERS LAUGH
0:46:31 > 0:46:33But fingers crossed.
0:46:33 > 0:46:37Hm. Will the Reds gamble? We'll see.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40Now for the Blues' three items, and here's a reminder.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45They bought the Mappin & Webb silver collar glass decanter for £80.
0:46:46 > 0:46:49And next, they somewhat panic-purchased the wooden box
0:46:49 > 0:46:51for £30.
0:46:52 > 0:46:56Finally, they splashed out £130 on the coco de mer.
0:46:57 > 0:47:01- Elizabeth and Jane, you were spenders, weren't you?- We did, yes.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03Spend, spend, spend!
0:47:03 > 0:47:06Leaving lovely Natasha with just £60.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08Did she spend it all?
0:47:08 > 0:47:11I thought to myself, we need an opportunity to claw back.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14- Because what if it all just goes south?- Downhill?
0:47:14 > 0:47:19So, I played it a little safe but sparkly too.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21- Ah!- Lovely...- OTHERS:- Ooh!
0:47:21 > 0:47:24- ..barred brooch.- Oh, I like it. - And it's pretty, isn't it?
0:47:24 > 0:47:27- Do you want to have a hold? So, what do you think?- Gorgeous.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29- Love it, love it, love it. - Is it Victorian?
0:47:29 > 0:47:33Well, probably slightly later than that. It's 20th century.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35I think for its age, it's in lovely condition.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37What do you think it's worth, girls?
0:47:37 > 0:47:40- I think you probably paid about £30 for it.- OK.
0:47:40 > 0:47:41Yeah, I'll go with that.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43Quite chuffed with that because I paid £25.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46Oh! I love you, love you!
0:47:46 > 0:47:48- And it's going to make 30, 35.- Yeah?
0:47:48 > 0:47:51- It's just I think it's so commercial.- It is.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54The Blues can make their final decision during the auction,
0:47:54 > 0:47:56so let's go there now.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58Charles Hanson is on the rostrum and raring to go.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03- Are you excited, girls? - Yes, yes! Bit apprehensive.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06Well, you look as if you're absolutely ecstatic!
0:48:06 > 0:48:07Have you been to an auction before?
0:48:07 > 0:48:09Many years ago when I was first married
0:48:09 > 0:48:11and I've also been to car auctions.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13Oh, have you? What about you, Pat?
0:48:13 > 0:48:16- I've been to livestock auctions.- Oh.
0:48:16 > 0:48:19Well, first up today is the bagatelle board,
0:48:19 > 0:48:21- which I think you chose, Marianne, didn't you?- I did, yes.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23There you are, we like this.

0:50:42 > 0:50:45And I can say that the auctioneer Charles Hanson
0:50:45 > 0:50:48is a passionate porcelain lover.

0:51:36 > 0:51:38makes a loss of £40.

0:56:09 > 0:56:10So, plus £20.
0:56:10 > 0:56:16- You lost £55 so you're only down 35 smackers.- Only down 35!
0:56:16 > 0:56:18THEY LAUGH
0:56:18 > 0:56:20But we bought big so that's all right.
0:56:20 > 0:56:21You've done really well.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24You spent a lot of money, you've had an absolute ball and frankly,
0:56:24 > 0:56:28- at £35, have you ever had such value for money?- No.
0:56:28 > 0:56:31- Entertainment for 35 quid. - Absolutely.
0:56:31 > 0:56:33- Anyway, not a word to the Reds.- No.
0:56:33 > 0:56:36- Because you never know, you may well have won.- Ooh!
0:56:44 > 0:56:49Sometimes on Bargain Hunt, girls and boys, there is a massive gulf.
0:56:49 > 0:56:53This time, the difference is wafer thin.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55- Did you think you'd done well?- No.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57- Did you think you'd done well?- No!
0:56:57 > 0:56:59Well, I can tell you you're both right.
0:56:59 > 0:57:00ALL LAUGH
0:57:00 > 0:57:03Neither of you did well. But one team...
0:57:03 > 0:57:07..did slightly worse than the other one. And they are...
0:57:07 > 0:57:09..the Red team. OTHERS YELP
0:57:09 > 0:57:13Extraordinary. You started so well, girls.
0:57:13 > 0:57:15You went off out of the blocks like the clappers.
0:57:15 > 0:57:17Plus £12.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19Then the brooch.
0:57:19 > 0:57:24And then you broke even with that weight, the dumpy weight. Yeah.
0:57:24 > 0:57:26And then you decided to go with Ben's,
0:57:26 > 0:57:29and I have to say it was lovely, cup, the saucer and the plate
0:57:29 > 0:57:31and you lost £12.
0:57:31 > 0:57:34- Have you enjoyed it, Reds? - Enormously.- Yes.- Enormously?
0:57:34 > 0:57:38- Immensely.- Oh, that's charming. - Thank you.- Well, Blues. Well done.
0:57:38 > 0:57:42- Thank you.- You were down £55 and you were losing.
0:57:42 > 0:57:43- Until...- Natasha!
0:57:43 > 0:57:49..over the brow of the hill with the cavalry came Miss Natasha Raskin,
0:57:49 > 0:57:52- who bought that wonderful brooch, which you both liked.- We did, yes.
0:57:52 > 0:57:56- Sensibly went with it.- Loved it. - It cost £25 and it made £45!
0:57:56 > 0:57:58£45! Whoo! High-five.
0:57:58 > 0:58:02So that 20 quid did it for you. So, well done.
0:58:02 > 0:58:05- I have to say that my pockets are empty.- Ah!
0:58:05 > 0:58:10No money to dish out but never mind. Lovely having you on board.
0:58:10 > 0:58:12Both teams have been absolute stars.
0:58:12 > 0:58:15And don't forget to have a look at our website
0:58:15 > 0:58:17or indeed follow us on Twitter.
0:58:17 > 0:58:18But of course most importantly,
0:58:18 > 0:58:20join us for more Bargain Hunting, yes?
0:58:20 > 0:58:21- ALL:- Yes!
