0:00:02 > 0:00:04DETECTOR BUZZES
0:00:06 > 0:00:10Now, you might be wondering what I'm searching for,
0:00:10 > 0:00:13but many centuries ago, Lincoln had its own mint,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16so I'm in search of a bit of their old money.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21No luck yet!
0:00:21 > 0:00:23DETECTOR BUZZES
0:00:23 > 0:00:25It's all happening!
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Bingo!
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Wow! In all my days,
0:00:33 > 0:00:36I never thought I'd set my eyes on one of these.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40So, it's heavy, it's gold and it's inscribed.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44It says here, "Let's go bargain hunting."
0:00:44 > 0:00:47So let's do it. Let's go bargain hunting.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Well, our teams will be wanting to make the biggest
0:01:17 > 0:01:20profit from the three items they find amongst the stalls.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23DETECTOR BUZZES Wahey! But the question is,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25will they win one of these?
0:01:25 > 0:01:29That would be telling. But here's a taste of what's coming up.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33The Reds struggle to contain their excitement...
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Ooh!- Ooh!- Already "ooh".
0:01:36 > 0:01:38..the Blues strut their stuff...
0:01:38 > 0:01:42# My old man's a dustman, he wears a dustman's hat
0:01:42 > 0:01:45# He wears cor blimey trousers... #
0:01:45 > 0:01:49..everyone tries keeping up at the auction...
0:01:49 > 0:01:54- Oh, come on!- Will it, get your hands out, come on.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57..and who is the man who found time to amass one of the best
0:01:57 > 0:01:59collections that I've ever seen?
0:01:59 > 0:02:03I'm getting short of words, because quite simply they're breathtaking.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07But before all that, let's meet our teams.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11And our Red team today, we've got friends Judy and Mary,
0:02:11 > 0:02:16and our Blues are Mr and Mrs, who are Kathleen and Stephen.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- So, hello! ALL:- Hello!- Hello. Well, Judy, can I start with you?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Because you're not going to be camera-shy today, are you?
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Well, I do quite a bit of TV and film extra work, which is great fun.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30I've worked on Downton Abbey, right through until the end of the series.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- What else?- I've worked with Tom Cruise, who was really lovely.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Tom Cruise, no less? - And that was in Edge Of Tomorrow.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40I can see you're wearing some very interesting, sort of vintage...
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Dare I use the word vintage? ..jewellery and...
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Now, you're into all that?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Yes, we both are, very into this. This is actually how we met.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Judy needed a model for a fashion show,
0:02:52 > 0:02:57and I stepped in, and we did a very successful fashion show, didn't we?
0:02:57 > 0:03:02And that's led on to re-enacting, 1930s and 1940s particularly.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05And any excuse to dress up and have a lot of fun.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- I'm with you on that one!- Yes. - LAUGHTER
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Now, turning my attention to the Blues.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Stephen, tell me, you're very keen on fishing?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Oh, I love my fishing. I love going out fishing.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Just the quietness of the river bank or the lake.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22I go mainly after the larger fish.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25My record's a 32lb carp.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28How big, with your hands, show me how big is a 32...
0:03:28 > 0:03:33- 32... It's about that long and that deep.- Yeah, OK.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- You know when you pick it up! - LAUGHTER
0:03:35 > 0:03:40I know exactly - they're that long and that big, so you are a fisherman.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Kathleen, something I've learnt about you,
0:03:42 > 0:03:43you're very nimble on your feet.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45USED to be nimble on my feet.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48No, no, I don't know about that. Um, because you're into tap dancing?
0:03:48 > 0:03:52I was lucky enough to go to a stage school, and we did lots of theatre
0:03:52 > 0:03:55and dance and things there, and it was brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Come on, give us a twirl... Give us a...
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Oh, well, what do we think, a round of applause!- Jazz hands!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- I must give you Michael Flatley's telephone number.- Thank you.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12LAUGHTER
0:04:12 > 0:04:14All right, we've got £300 each for you.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I want you to go off there, buy those three items
0:04:17 > 0:04:20and I want you to go now and find your respective experts.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23So, good luck! And I think we're in for a bit of fun.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27So, which experts are joining our two sets of teams today?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30He's been good, so we'll let him out early.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Richard Madley does time with the Reds.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38And buckle up, Blues, you're in for a wild ride! It's Charlie Ross.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Kath, Steve, come to me! - LAUGHTER
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Oh, lovely to see you.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Lovely to see you.- Now, what are you going to be looking for today?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- Bargains!- Bargains, yeah.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- SHE YELPS - So, losing your hat already?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- Have you come here today with some tactics in mind?- Yes, we have.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- A bit of silver, maybe.- A bit of silver?- Jewellery.- Of course.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02- And for you, Kath? - Whatever takes my eye.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I don't want to choose something
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- and then not be able to find it within the hour.- Really?- Yes.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Something that can be used inside and outside.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11KETTLE WHISTLES
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Well, I'm sorry, teams, there's no time for tea
0:05:13 > 0:05:16because your 60 minutes are about to begin.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- WHISTLE BLOWS - Hang on to your hats,
0:05:18 > 0:05:19let's go shopping.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Excitement! Come on, let's have it. - All of those!
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Well, the skies may be grey,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26but our teams are braving the elements.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Look! A wonderful stall! Let's get cracking.- Good morning.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Good morning.- May I look at your inkwell, please?- Wow.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- What about that? Good grief! - That's a big weight.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- Kath, feel the weight of that! He said.- Oh!
0:05:42 > 0:05:43LAUGHTER
0:05:43 > 0:05:46That is rather delicious. No mark on it, is there, though?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49There will be a mark on it, you trust me. There we are.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53A little shield with a leopard's head in it. Where was it made?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Is that Sheffield?- No. - No.- Birmingham?- No.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01- That's...- London!- ALL: London! - Well done, well done.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Go to the top of the class. - And this is 1893.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Do you know what that's worth?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- The ticket says... - What does the ticket say?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- No, no, I like that, "The ticket says..."- 145.- Yes.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16But our new best friend, Greg,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20he's going to come down a bit from that for us,
0:06:20 > 0:06:21- I would think.- 130?- Yes.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- You can't do any better than 130? - I could squeeze in another five.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Squeeze a five! I think we're very early into our shop.- Yes.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34If that Red team come here, tell them it's 200 quid.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35And a note for everything.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38THEY LAUGH
0:06:38 > 0:06:40I can tell you lot aren't to be trusted.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I think the Reds have something else in mind anyway.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48- I quite like militaria, but... - Yeah, militaria is a good subject.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Talking about militaria...
0:06:50 > 0:06:52There's something that catches my eye.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I've also seen something else that catches my eye,
0:06:54 > 0:06:55but we'll start on the drum.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Is there any age to this?- Yes, First World War.- First World War?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Yes, the Officers' Training Corps,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02which is before the Combined Cadet Force,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05which was the school... It's my old school.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- You were at Denstone College? - Denstone College.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09The old-school drum.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Was it Army cadets?- Yes. - Army cadets.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14So, could we enquire about the price?
0:07:14 > 0:07:19- £150 would be the cheapest.- £150. It's a good-looking thing.- It is.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I've got to say, it is a good-looking thing,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23but it would be half your budget.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Put it on the maybe list, you've still got 45 minutes left,
0:07:26 > 0:07:30and there's plenty out there, even if it is a little soggy.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- The weather's really coming in now. - It's coming in, isn't it? I know.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35That'll keep the rain out!
0:07:35 > 0:07:38No time for clowning around, Charlie, you need to buy something.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- You best get on the case! - Ooh, I quite like that.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Yes, I do quite like it.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Well, we've seen something you like!- I know!
0:07:45 > 0:07:48We're getting there at last! We've only had about two hours shopping.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- More like 20 minutes!- Do you want to ask how much it is?- Yes.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55My Kath would love that if it was ever so cheap,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58because she'd pretend that somebody could make it into a coffee table.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I have a champagne taste, pale ale pocket.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02THEY LAUGH
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- Well, disregarding that, it's still £35.- £35.- Yes.- Not untoward, is it?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- No. No. No.- That is definitely an old trunk.- Yeah.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Whether the labels are old is anybody's guess.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17But, whoever did it, if they aren't old, has done them very cleverly,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- because they've ripped bits off... - THEY LAUGH
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- I like it, it looks the part. - Answer an honest question?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- Did you put the labels on?- Of course I did.- Yeah, of course. You see!
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Isn't that wonderful, when people are honest? There you are.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- The very best price on that being...?- I can do that for 30.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- Happy with 30 quid? - Yeah, happy at 30.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Brilliant. - Shake the man's hand.- Thank you.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Brilliant, Blues.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Thank you.- Bye.- Bye-bye. - But don't stop now.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46You've got two lots to go, and just over 30 minutes left.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Anything on that inside/outside theme you'd like to pursue?
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- These.- These.- These?- They just caught my eye. They caught my eye.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- What do you think of this one, Mary? - They look like horses.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- Half a horse, half... serpentine-like.- Yes.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04THEY LAUGH
0:09:04 > 0:09:05This has caught our eye.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10The price is usually 65, I'll do it for 55.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- And what is it? - It's a hippocampus.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Which is a mythical creature from Greek mythology.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- MARY:- And it's like a ridge tile? Ridge tile.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20They're all... I really like the dragons, as well,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22but I just think this two-headed one
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- has got something about it. - That's my favourite.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Do you have these made for you,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27they're available in the marketplace?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- We make them ourselves. - You make them yourself?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Can we just squeeze it a little bit lower?
0:09:31 > 0:09:32How close can you get to me?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- 48?- 48? Yeah, I'll settle on that. 48.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Could you do 45? - STALLHOLDER:- Got a deal there at 48!
0:09:38 > 0:09:40THEY LAUGH
0:09:40 > 0:09:44I'll tell you what, we'll spin a coin, 45 or 48.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- You can call, Mary.- Oh, yes.- Ready? - Toss the coin.- Heads or tails?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- MARY:- Heads. - STALLHOLDER:- We go on the ground?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- MARY:- It's not a double-headed one, is it?- Tails.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54THEY LAUGH
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Good old double-tailed coin, it never fails.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59I promise you it's a real one.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02That's it, the first deal is done. Excellent. In the bag.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- Thank you very much indeed, sir. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07And yourself.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08You can't win them all, Reds,
0:10:08 > 0:10:13but at £48 the hippocampus could still be a steal.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15LAUGHTER
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- Evening, all.- Evening, all.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I'm going to give you a caution -
0:10:19 > 0:10:21you've less than half an hour to go.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22We've got one purchase in the bag.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I'd have liked to see have seen a little bit more.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Maybe one and a half, but we have got the drum, haven't we?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- How many things have we bought? - One.- One.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- How many have we got to buy? - BOTH: Three.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33STEPHEN LAUGHS
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Are we worried?- Two...left. - You're right, three in all.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Come on, let's go and look at that drum.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42You'll have to work your magic on that £150 price tag.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44It's still there.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- Can I turn it over? - Yes, turn it over.- OK.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Might need a bit of help with this, Mary.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- It's all right on the bottom? - Wet.- That's fine.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Yeah, how does it sound? - Sounds good.- Good.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02But I've got just one question to ask you, sir - would £140 buy it?
0:11:02 > 0:11:03No, I'm afraid it wouldn't.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I asked you the same price that I wanted, and it's a fair deal.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- In that case, sir, we'd like to buy your drum.- Wonderful.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Thank you very much. Deal. - Thank you.- I love your hat.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13- MARY:- Thank you very much.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16ALL LAUGH
0:11:16 > 0:11:20You're getting into the rhythm now, Reds, which requires perfect timing.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Talking of which, this is your 15-minute warning.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Have you found your second item yet, Blues?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Something sparkly and sophisticated perhaps?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- I like this one.- Really?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33You like a knackered old malt shovel, do you?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35THEY LAUGH
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I feel a bit like a knackered old malt shovel,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39to be honest, perfectly honest.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Looks nice, it's got a nice bit of age to it.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42- I like it.- It's got age?- Yeah.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I love the repair.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I love the hallmarked silver repair on it.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- It's particularly nice. - It's delicate, isn't it?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I think if it was free, I would go for it.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- 90, but for you, 30. - 90 would be... What, pence?!
0:11:54 > 0:11:56STEPHEN LAUGHS
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I love it, but would somebody pay more than 30 quid at auction?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- No, they wouldn't.- No.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Which is a shame, but on the other hand...
0:12:03 > 0:12:06# My old man's a dustman, he wears a dustman's hat
0:12:06 > 0:12:07# He wears cor blimey trousers... #
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- STALLHOLDER:- ..because you play. - KATHLEEN:- 22.
0:12:10 > 0:12:1222! I want it for a tenner,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15because I think it will make 14 quid at auction. She's going to play it.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- She's going to strum to me. - You know what?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Because I like you, make it 20. - KATHLEEN:- I like it.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I'm just going to say one thing...
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I'm going to hand over the money, and if that makes a loss,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- don't blame me.- I won't.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30So, you're a gentleman and a player.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33You have made a £20 profit on that lot.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- KATHLEEN:- I love it. I'd give you 20 quid.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38STEPHEN LAUGHS
0:12:38 > 0:12:41It's not the most glamorous object I've ever seen, but who knows?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44It may get you out of a hole at the auction.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Both teams now need their final buys,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49and have just under ten minutes.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Found any jewellery, Reds?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Over the course of...- Ooh!- Oh!- Ooh!
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- Already "ooh".- There we go. - There we go.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02- Mary, there's jewellery over there. - OK, right.- Is that enamel?- Yes.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Enamelled and silver are nice, as well.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- I know it's not jewellery, it's just rather decorative.- Very pretty.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11I don't know if it has any real use, but it's rather nice.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- Letter opener, isn't it? - Yeah...
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Think about it, take it back to the money man?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Don't take too long. Five minutes and counting.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21What do we want to do?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- I think we'll go back and get that inkwell.- Yeah?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- An actual antique.- A proper antique.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28It would be nice to have just a splash...
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- A bit of quality.- A splash of quality. Come on, then.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Now, whilst the Reds were looking for jewellery,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36they're now hunting for something else.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- We've lost...- Have we lost Richard?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43The ladies are looking for you, Mr Madley.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Get the impression we've been here before?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Now, have you still got the inkwell, sir?- I have, sir, yes.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- He's still got the inkwell. - Bonus.- Look at that.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Isn't that magnificent? - I do still really like it.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00You really like it, you really like it. 130?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- 130?- Yeah. Sure that is the very best?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Being an honest man, I think we agreed on 125.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- KATHLEEN:- I think we did, as well.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- 125.- 125...- Marvellous.- Thank you.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- You're a good man, Greg. - Thank you.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17So, the Blues are done and dusted. How about the Reds?
0:14:17 > 0:14:18All we've seen so far is the letter opener.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20I like it. I'd like to get the price down on it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22OK, let's go in and look at it.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Let's hope it's first-class, as you, teams, need to post a profit.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- We've done well. - That's my quality item.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30And we've finished within time.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Come on. Show me some more dance moves.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34Loving your moves, Blues.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Maybe the Reds should try out a quickstep,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39as they're running out of time.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41What do you think of that, Richard?
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- I think it's very nice. - OK. It's different, isn't it?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- And functional. A bit Nouveau. - A bit Art Nouveau.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Yeah, peacocks. Always a good design.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- It's almost Japanese. It's probably 1890...- Japanese?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I think, yeah, Japanese... Well, Japonesque is a term that is
0:14:57 > 0:15:00used for things of a Japanese influence.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04The price is £17.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07We can get it for £15, so...
0:15:07 > 0:15:08And you'd be happy with that?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10You think we'd make a bit of a profit on that?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- I think...- I think we will.- Yeah? - Yeah, I think so.- I think...
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Should we go for this? - We're short of time.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17It's lovely, actually. It's a lovely item, I think.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Good. Thank you. We'll have it.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22ALARMS RING
0:15:22 > 0:15:26That means, teams, your 60 minutes are up.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27That was a rush, wasn't it?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31It's now time to sell,
0:15:31 > 0:15:35and we've hopped over to Golding, Young & Mawer auctioneers.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38First, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40The Reds hope this hippocampus ridge tile
0:15:40 > 0:15:45will raise the roof at the auction. It cost them £48.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48£150 was paid for this military drum,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50but will the punters stand to attention
0:15:50 > 0:15:52when it goes under the hammer?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56And the gilt brass letter opener was just £15.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Fingers crossed it delivers.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Well, Judy and Mary, I have to compliment you
0:16:00 > 0:16:03because you spent a very credible £213,
0:16:03 > 0:16:08leaving Mr Richard Madley here with £87 to go out and spend.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13And, Richard, I'd be intrigued to see what you've got for the money.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Well, for these two stylish ladies, I wanted something
0:16:17 > 0:16:20sparkly and silvery, and I found you...
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Ooh!
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- ..this.- Ooh.- A double "ooh". - Gorgeous.- Yes.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30A Victorian heart-shaped silver pin tray.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Maker's mark is SC, made in London
0:16:34 > 0:16:37around about 1895 to 1905.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39So, it's late Victorian, Edwardian.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42This would fit on anybody's dressing table,
0:16:42 > 0:16:43I'm sure you'd find space for it.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- It's beautiful.- Just right for earrings.- And I bought it for 30.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- That's pretty good. - That's brilliant.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51So, I was happy with that. Are you happy with that?
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- Yeah, yeah.- And I've got a feeling that there is a little bit of profit
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- left in that.- How much would you think?- How much?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01We might make a 50% profit.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well, the Reds are rather smitten with Richard's heart-shaped dish.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08But will they commit to it at auction? We'll find out later.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Now for the Blues. Let's remind ourselves what they bought
0:17:11 > 0:17:13with their round of cash.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17The labels may be fake, but they still closed the deal on this trunk.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19£30 paid.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Will people dig deep to get their hands on this wooden malt shovel?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25It cost the Blues £20.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27And Charlie thought the Victorian inkwell
0:17:27 > 0:17:29was something to write home about.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33But at £125, could it blot his team's copybook?
0:17:35 > 0:17:40Kathleen and Stephen, you went out and spent the best part of £175,
0:17:40 > 0:17:45which meant that Mr Charles Ross here had the sum of £125
0:17:45 > 0:17:48to play with. What did you come up with?
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Ooh!- Oh!- A tray.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56It's much bigger than an ordinary dressing table pin tray.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59It is silver, it's English,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02it's got a wonderful gadroon border to it,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04but it's got other things going on.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06It's got this Rococo decoration,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09it's got an acanthus leaf swirl to it,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11it's got this wonderful mask.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Look at him, do you like him?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- Yes, yes. - Just feel the weight.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17You see, it's got real weight, and it's solid silver.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19There's an awful lot of work in there, isn't there?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21A huge amount of work, yeah.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- It's not my cup of tea, but will it make us money?- Well, it cost £120,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28but I think it stands a sporting chance
0:18:28 > 0:18:31because it is a cut above the average example.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33A sterling effort by Mr Ross,
0:18:33 > 0:18:37but we'll see whether he's managed to persuade the Blues before long.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Now then, we're off to auction.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Colin Young is at the helm and he's ready to sell.
0:18:42 > 0:18:48So, ladies, have you been to many auctions in your time, or...?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- I've only been to one. - I've been to several.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- You've been to several? - Yes, I do like them, yes.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- You're quite seasoned in it. - She's a professional, yes.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58We've got your decorative ridge tile coming up now.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00You both loved this, didn't you?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- We did. - I want to take it home with me.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Look, it's just about to come up,
0:19:04 > 0:19:08so hang on to your hats and all systems go.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12There we go, the ridge tile, hippocampus. £50.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14£30. 20 to go, then, £20, everybody.
0:19:14 > 0:19:1820 bid, two bid, five, 28, 28, 30, 32, 32 now, 35.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Come on.- 50, surely, 50 bid?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Five, five, 60.- We're in profit. - 55 bid. 60, do I see?
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- 60 bid, 65.- Good, good. - 65, 70.
0:19:31 > 0:19:3270 bid, 75.
0:19:32 > 0:19:3580 now, 80 bid, 85.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- 85! Come on!- Are we all done at 80?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Come on! Come on, you Reds!
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- Any of you? Nope, £80.- Go on. - We should have bid, too.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Going with £80. Any more?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Sold at 80.- Yes! Whoa, crikey!
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Good start, ladies. Right, well, you're plus £32 on that.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Excellent, I think we're making history today.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58OK, all right, the drum.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Who's going to start me at £100? £100, anyone, 100?

0:20:06 > 0:20:07At 90 bid, I'll take five now.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10At £90, the bid's down here, then, at £90.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Five for anybody else, then? Selling at £90.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Ouch!- I knew, I knew...
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Well, I'm afraid minus 60 is getting us down to
0:20:17 > 0:20:20a minus 28, so, you know,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23take one step forward and two steps back. There's your opener.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25You thought this was going to give you the most profit.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44There's these two people on the net, hovering. Are you going to bid?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47No, they've both gone away. At 20. Two now, may I say?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Selling in the room at 20.- 20. OK.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Well...
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Listen, it's £5, and it's in your pocket,
0:20:54 > 0:20:57so you're going in the right direction. Minus 23.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00The question is, are you going to go with the bonus buy?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Definitely.- Are you sure about that? - We really like it.- Love it.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- We think it's so pretty. - We like it.- Let's find out.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Who's going to start me at £50 for it? 50, anybody? 50.
0:21:09 > 0:21:1330 to go, then, surely. 30, 20 to go. I'll take 10.

0:21:38 > 0:21:4245. At 45. Phew! Lightning.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45At 45. 48 now? No, it didn't work twice with you.
0:21:45 > 0:21:4945. Eight or not, then? Selling, lady's bid standing here at £45.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Yes, excellent!
0:21:52 > 0:21:53I'm plus £15.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57But we're in a total, I think, of minus £8.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00That can be a winning score, girls, I can assure you.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03So, um, you know, take heart, if you will.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10OK, Blues. Hello, Kathleen, hello, Stephen.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Your first item that's coming up is the trunk.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- It's a good-looking thing, isn't it? Are you excited?- Yes.- So am I.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Hang on, everybody, this could be a rocky ride.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Let's hope it's going to be a nice, smooth crossing.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- OK?- Who's going to start me at £50 for it?
0:22:23 > 0:22:2730 to go, then. £30, anybody. 30. 10 to go, then.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57Oh, minus 10. Minus £10.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59OK, it's not the end of the world.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03You've got three lots to play with here. If you go with the bonus...
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Shovel!- You'll love this. You loved this, didn't you?

0:23:19 > 0:23:22At £5 bid. Six now, do I see? At £5. Six now.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Surely somebody else can dig it.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26£6 bid. Six, eight, eight bid, 10 bid.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31- 11 bid. 12 bid. 13. 13, do I see? - He's going in ones!
0:23:31 > 0:23:3313, 13, pay attention.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Last call at 12.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38That made minus eight, so we're in a minus 18 now.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- So the next two lots could turn things around.- This is a proper lot.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44£100, anyone? 100. 50 if you like. Who's coming in at £50?
0:23:44 > 0:23:4750. 50 bid, 50.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02I'll take two as a last call. At 70. £70, are we all done?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Last call, then. Done, finished on two?
0:24:04 > 0:24:09No. Selling in the room, at 72 on the net. At 72, 75, 75, 78 now.
0:24:09 > 0:24:1275, last call at £75.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- Oh, £75. Minus 50. - What's the damage, Eric?
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- Minus 68 at the moment.- Is that all? - Don't worry, don't worry.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25- I think it's that moment of truth. Do we go with the bonus buy?- Yes.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- We'll trust our expert, Charlie. - You do that.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30It's a really good, crisp, bold hallmark.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35Salaman & Levi, Birmingham, 1900.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I'm hoping he'll big it up when he's up there,
0:24:37 > 0:24:38because you've gone with it now.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- We've found the hallmark on this... - KATHLEEN:- Hurray!
0:24:41 > 0:24:43..which is 1900.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48It is Levi & Salaman, so there we go. Quite a nice dish there.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Who's going to start me at £100? It will be easily over £100 for it.
0:24:52 > 0:24:5580 to go, then. 80. £50 bid. 50.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Five anywhere else now? We've got 50. Five?
0:24:57 > 0:24:5955 at the back of the room. At 55. 60,
0:24:59 > 0:25:02five, 70, 70...
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- Will it.- Will it. Get your hands out.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Will it, will it.- Five, 80, five. - Come on!
0:25:08 > 0:25:1180. Five, surely. At £80 bid. At 80.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14We've nearly reached scrap value.
0:25:14 > 0:25:1785, 90. At 90 bid.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22We're into market value now. 92, 95, 98 in the room. 98 now, surely.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- 98, do I see? 95 on the internet. 95.- Come on!
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Is anybody else going to bid? 90.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Very pretty dish. All done and finished at £95.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Sold at 95, thank you very much.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37It was a noble effort, which has sadly resulted
0:25:37 > 0:25:39in a £25 loss.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41However, however, you know,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44at least we're keeping a common theme going there.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49So, I reckon we've done minus 93, if my maths is correct.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53And the most important thing to remember, don't talk to the Reds.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- OK. All right? - I don't think they'll want to.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58THEY LAUGH
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Unfortunately, neither team is going home with cash,
0:26:02 > 0:26:06but hats off to the Reds who have today's winning score.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Coming up, will our next two teams be up to the challenge?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Meanwhile, I'm off to hear about one of Lincoln's jewels,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19and I'm not talking about its castle.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Or cathedral.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28But the gem I'm here to learn about wasn't made from stone,
0:26:28 > 0:26:30but flesh and blood.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38James Ward Usher was a jeweller who ran this shop in Lincoln.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41He was a shrewd businessman who didn't miss a trick.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46And in the late 19th century, he made his fortune after
0:26:46 > 0:26:50spotting the moneymaking potential of a Lincolnshire legend.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57The story goes, Satan sent two unruly creatures called imps
0:26:57 > 0:27:01to Lincoln to create mischief and mayhem.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10The two imps found their way into the cathedral and ran riot.
0:27:10 > 0:27:16And it's said that an angel appeared and turned one of them into stone.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20The legend goes that the imp was imprisoned here forever.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22And there he is.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28Usher exploited the tale of the Lincoln imp to his advantage.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32He made all sorts of souvenirs featuring the mischievous creature,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34and sold them to Lincoln's tourists.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37As the sole supplier of imp memorabilia,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Usher watched the money roll in.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44This meant he could afford to indulge in his real passion.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48And that passion was collecting.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56Usher amassed a huge collection of treasures from all around the world.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57But he didn't forget his roots,
0:27:57 > 0:27:59and his heart always belonged to Lincoln.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Well, there's no doubting that James Ward Usher had a good eye
0:28:05 > 0:28:07and impeccable taste.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09And when he died, he left his collection
0:28:09 > 0:28:11to the good people of Lincoln.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13And on top of that, he left them
0:28:13 > 0:28:16enough money to build the Usher Gallery.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Andrea Martin is the curator and can tell me
0:28:23 > 0:28:26more about this wonderful place and the man who made it possible.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31He seems to have concentrated primarily on objects?
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Yes, very much an object man.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38So, ceramics, silver, watches, enamels.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41As well as being jewellers, the Usher family were talented
0:28:41 > 0:28:46clock and watchmakers, which meant James had an incredible eye
0:28:46 > 0:28:49for things that go tick, tock.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52So the first watch we've got here is one of Usher's favourite watches,
0:28:52 > 0:28:57made by a watchmaker called Rigby, so it's a 19th-century watch.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58But, actually, on the back,
0:28:58 > 0:29:01we have some beautiful blue enamelling.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- With a star of diamonds, I can see. - Yes.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06And when you twist it in the light,
0:29:06 > 0:29:11it's a sort of semi-translucent, deep, cobalt blue, that enamel,
0:29:11 > 0:29:14and picks up what appears to be like an engine turning.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16I mean, you think of people like Faberge,
0:29:16 > 0:29:18amongst others, using that method.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- Yes.- But I'd think twice about taking that out of the safe,
0:29:22 > 0:29:24never mind taking it out of the house.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26And then they get smaller.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28I mean, a little watch on a ring.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30It's only 18 millimetres in diameter.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33It was made by a watchmaker called John Arnold,
0:29:33 > 0:29:36and it was reputedly made for George III.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Provenance is everything. Isn't it? You know, the royal connection.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41The royal connection is the thing
0:29:41 > 0:29:43that really, truly makes that one.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46I think that would have sold it strongly to Usher.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50I'm getting short of words because, quite simply, they're breathtaking.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56There's no time to relax.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58We need to get back to the antiques fair to see
0:29:58 > 0:30:01whether our next set of bargain hunters have what it takes to
0:30:01 > 0:30:05pick well and make a profit at auction.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09Will the Reds be laughing all the way to the bank?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- THEY LAUGH - They are very good.- They are funky.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15And do the Blues ever break a sweat?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18You're lazy. Come on, guys, we want a bit of action.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Let's meet them.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25Our Red team today are twin sisters and that's Penny and Pat.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28And our Blues are friends Michael and Harry.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- So, hello. ALL:- Hello!
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Hello. Starting with our Reds.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Penny and Pat, you're working at the moment
0:30:35 > 0:30:37but you've got great plans for your retirement.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Yes, in two years' time, I plan to retire and I'm going to buy
0:30:41 > 0:30:44a Dutch barge and cruise down through Europe into the Med.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47- Have you got a boat at the moment? - Yes, we do. This is our fifth boat.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49But the first boat we ever bought,
0:30:49 > 0:30:51we'd never, neither of us, driven a boat in our lives.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Didn't even know how to start, stop or anything
0:30:54 > 0:30:57and we had to ring the bloke up to tell us how to do it.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- Pat, you don't mind getting wet, do you?- No, I love getting wet.
0:31:00 > 0:31:07I'm a diver. I first started when I was 53 and I love it.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- So you've dived in some amazing places?- I have.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11I've dived all over the world.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14I've dived Malta, Egypt,
0:31:14 > 0:31:17- but I think my best dive was in England, which is surprising.- Yes!
0:31:17 > 0:31:20But it was down in Cornwall and it was a beautiful dive.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22She took me into this cave,
0:31:22 > 0:31:24all jewelled anemones on the top of the cave.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28- It was fantastic, absolutely brilliant.- Fantastic.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- So, any tactics?- Ooh, yes.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- I'm going to find something I like. - I'm going to find something- I- like.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- Then we're going to buy something that's got profit in it.- Yeah.- OK.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39All right. Now, that's a very interesting tactic,
0:31:39 > 0:31:42but I'm going to turn my attention to the gentlemen.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46- It's Michael and Harry, and you're friends.- Yeah.- We are.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48But I know for a fact there was a time
0:31:48 > 0:31:51you were anything BUT friends. In fact, you were rivals.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52Yeah, we were.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55This is my arch-nemesis, playing for rival football teams.
0:31:55 > 0:32:00We had matches abandoned against each other for dirty tackles.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01- His dad was the referee.- Oh, no!
0:32:01 > 0:32:03He pulled his team off the pitch.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06In the end, we signed for the same football team.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10I didn't speak to him for about a month, then he cracked a joke
0:32:10 > 0:32:13and I broke and I laughed and started speaking to him
0:32:13 > 0:32:17- and ever since then, like a house on fire.- The rest is history.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21So, Harry, I believe you're bit of a whizz
0:32:21 > 0:32:23when it comes to doing deals, etc,
0:32:23 > 0:32:27cos you use an interesting method at which you excel.
0:32:27 > 0:32:32Yeah, we use rock, paper, scissors to settle a lot of stuff.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- If I remember rightly, it's... TOGETHER:- One, two, three.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40- Yeah, so rock beats scissors.- Rock beats scissors, does it? Right, OK.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43When we're all in the pub, it's a bit of banter
0:32:43 > 0:32:44to see who gets the next round,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47so it's like, try and get a few free drinks out of my mates.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Basically, I will play for the next round and I've got a running joke
0:32:51 > 0:32:53where 85% of the time, I always go rock,
0:32:53 > 0:32:56so I get in their head a bit so they think I'll go rock,
0:32:56 > 0:32:58I go scissors and I just keep beating them.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00It's like taking candy off a baby, really.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01That might come in useful.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- What about you, Michael? What's your plan of attack?- Just go big.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- Go big or go home. Win or bust. - Yeah?
0:33:08 > 0:33:12- All eggs, one basket. - All eggs, one basket.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Well, all eggs, one basket, one life, one Bargain Hunt, I suppose.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20- We're only here once. - OK, so let me give you the money.
0:33:20 > 0:33:25£300 each team. Go and shop till you drop and off you go.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28So this is a game of tactics, tactics, tactics.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37- You excited, guys?- Yes, very.- Yeah.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- Going to be spending?- All of it.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41What are we going to buy today?
0:33:41 > 0:33:44I'd like something owls or certainly animal related.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Anything that catches my eye. Something unusual.
0:33:47 > 0:33:52I'd like something nautical but maybe a nice bit of silver.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57ALARM CLOCK RINGS
0:33:57 > 0:33:59I think I know where we'll start.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Come on then, let's go and see some silver.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05These first few minutes are a golden opportunity to have a nose around
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- but the Reds are diving straight in. - I like the toadstools.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- Yeah, they are metal. - They certainly are. Hand-crafted.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Oh, I like them! "Tattoos removed."
0:34:15 > 0:34:17I like them, they're good.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19- THEY LAUGH - They are very good.- They are funky!
0:34:19 > 0:34:25- These are not... They're vintage saws.- The saws are old, yeah.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29The saws are old, the decoration is "later". Later.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33- But, hey, they are fun, aren't they? - Catch your eye, don't they?
0:34:33 > 0:34:37They do and they make you smile. I think that's very important.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- Yes.- They would be quite interesting.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Now, we've got the smaller ones here.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- There's a bigger one over there, which I like.- I didn't see that one.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46If you're going to go for one,
0:34:46 > 0:34:51- you'd better go for the grandfather of tattoo removals.- Yes.
0:34:51 > 0:34:56So I guess the saw could be 40 or 50 years old.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58- It might even be a bit older.- Yeah.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01And the decoration could even be done by the owner.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- Probably, cos they all look the same, don't they?- They do indeed.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07So shall we find out how much they want? Would you like to go and ask?
0:35:07 > 0:35:08- I'll go and ask.- Go on, then.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11That would get rid of your "I love Mum" tattoo.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Could you tell us how much the saws are, please?
0:35:13 > 0:35:17The small ones are £15, the large one is £30.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21- Shall we go for that one?- £30, OK. - Is that your best price?
0:35:21 > 0:35:23That is, I'm afraid. That is.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- PENNY:- I think... - Do you like that?- Yeah.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- I like that.- I like that.- I think it's a bit of fun.- I like that.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- It's funny.- In that case, we'd like to buy it.- We'll buy it.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33We're sold. Thank you very much.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Blimey, Reds, that could be the fastest deal
0:35:35 > 0:35:36in Bargain Hunt history!
0:35:36 > 0:35:38A minute, come on, and we're 1-0 up.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40This is a result. I like that. Excellent!
0:35:40 > 0:35:43I'm very keen to see how that saw does at the auction.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47Over to the Blues, and Charlie is sticking to the shopping list.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51- What did you say you wanted to buy? - Silver.- Silver.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55Well, there must be 100 or 200 pieces of silver here.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59- What about these that are in a pair? - The salts?- Salts.- They're nice.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- They're fairly standard.- OK. - It would be nice for you
0:36:02 > 0:36:05to find something that perhaps you haven't seen before.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Time to take a look at something else, then.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14- The Reds are now trawling the stalls for item number two.- Richard.- Yeah.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Would that be original whale bone or something else?
0:36:17 > 0:36:23No, that would be a copy of a scrimshawed whale tooth.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25- It was probably made in the last few years.- Yeah.
0:36:25 > 0:36:30- The original would be worth probably thousands.- Thousands.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33OK, teams, you have just hit the ten-minute mark.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34Found anything, Blues?
0:36:34 > 0:36:38- Ship's wheel.- Yeah.- They're very "sailable".- Oh!- Allow me.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Oh, dear, I think there's more where that came from.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Look at that!
0:36:43 > 0:36:46It looks like you're having a "wheely" good time there, mate.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50- Oh... I'm not... - Oh, no, I can't bear it.- Oh...
0:36:50 > 0:36:52I'm trying to "steer" him in the right direction.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Oh, keep going, keep going!
0:36:54 > 0:36:56No, please, that's more than enough!
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- That's a fabulous old ship's wheel. - Isn't it?
0:36:58 > 0:37:03And I should think that's about 1900 in date.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- I know you want to spend big, boys. - But we haven't probably got enough.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- Do you know how much this is? - A lot more...- Have a guess?
0:37:10 > 0:37:15- I did say £120, but I think more than that.- I think...- £300.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- I thought about £100.- About £100.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- This is £350.- Ooh.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21That's sunk their hopes of buying it
0:37:21 > 0:37:25but I think these boys won't be rushed into anything,
0:37:25 > 0:37:26despite Charlie's efforts.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Anyway, it's plain sailing for Mr Madley, though.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33Ooh, yeah, it does fit into your nautical theme.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35That would be the name of the ship.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- And that's probably when it first launched.- How does it sound?
0:37:38 > 0:37:40HE CHUCKLES
0:37:40 > 0:37:41BELL RINGS CLEARLY
0:37:41 > 0:37:43It works.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Shall we just enquire as to how much it is?
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- We haven't got to...- No, we can come back to it.- It could be a bargain.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Exactly, we can still come back. Let's go and ask the owner.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56The ship's bell. A price for it, please.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00- Best on the ship's bell, £120.- £120.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03That's going to be about its top level for an auction.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- I think that will be its price. - Yeah.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07Yeah, I think it's a fair price.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- It's a fair price but it's the top level.- Exactly.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11What's the best price?
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- The very best price is £100.- £95?
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- It's tight, but we'll do it. - Thank you very much.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20ERIC: What a gentleman!
0:38:20 > 0:38:24The deal has been done. The hands have been shaken. We're out of this!
0:38:24 > 0:38:25THEY LAUGH
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- She wanted a bell.- She wanted it. - She wanted nautical.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- I've always wanted a ship's bell. - Not a lot of choice.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- Yeah, always wanted a ship's bell. - We wanted something nautical.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Now all I want is a ship that goes with it.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38That will cost you a lot more than £95, Penny.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Right, that's it.
0:38:40 > 0:38:432-0 up, 20 minutes down, 40 minutes to go.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47You can take it easy then, Reds. It's the Blues I'm worried about.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Not having much luck, are we?- No.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Seen a few things.- In a nutshell.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Hopefully, Lady Luck will cross your path soon.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57With under 30 minutes left on the clock,
0:38:57 > 0:39:00the Blues are yet to splash any cash.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Was I really put on this planet to be made this harassed?
0:39:03 > 0:39:0635 minutes with two delightful guys
0:39:06 > 0:39:09who have not a clue what they want to buy.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Seen a few items and then there's always other bargains out there.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15I'm not sure they want to buy anything at all!
0:39:15 > 0:39:16I don't know what we're going to do.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- I'm not going to sweat yet.- Yeah.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Glad you're feeling relaxed, boys.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25I can't say the same for poor old Charlie.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26What do you think of that, guys?
0:39:26 > 0:39:31It's beautifully inlaid with olivewood and satinwood and boxwood.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34It has an enamel dial which has no damage.
0:39:36 > 0:39:41Opens at the top. You can see here there was a maker's name on there.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Now, I suspect that the movement is French-made
0:39:44 > 0:39:48but, again, made for export but put into an English case.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50- This was 80 quid, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55And I think that is a handsome clock.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58I can tell that neither of you like it, do you?
0:39:58 > 0:39:59I don't think they do, Rosco.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01- VENDOR:- Tomorrow that will be £120.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03We weren't planning to be here then,
0:40:03 > 0:40:06but it could take this lot that long to buy something.
0:40:07 > 0:40:13People often ask me what I collect and they're often surprised.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15- Globes.- Globes.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19I've been buying these globes probably for the last ten years.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23I've got about 50 of them. For years, my wife said,
0:40:23 > 0:40:25"What on earth are we going to do with those?"
0:40:25 > 0:40:30Then when we moved house, we had a unit, a bookcase unit,
0:40:30 > 0:40:32and we filled it with globes.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35- Different-sized globes. - And they look great.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39But I don't think your team are keen, Richard. Back to the Blues.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Has something finally got their attention?
0:40:41 > 0:40:43- VENDOR:- Hi, guys, I've got a radio here.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46I'm worried about the lack of expert supervision here.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47Original box?
0:40:47 > 0:40:50It's in its original box. 1950s. Perfect working order.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54- That's all right.- No cracks. £60.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56We've only got £45.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58That's a naughty fib.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00You've still got £300 in your pocket.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02I can't do it for £45, though.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07- What's your best price?- £55.- £50.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09- Meet you in the middle.- £50.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13- Do you want it?- Yeah, I'm happy with that. I'm happy with that, yeah.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Do you think you should have asked Charlie
0:41:15 > 0:41:17before shaking this man's hand?
0:41:17 > 0:41:18- CHARLIE:- What have you found, guys?
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- We've just bought a radio. - Have you bought a radio?
0:41:20 > 0:41:24- We thought we don't really need you. - Brilliant! A Bush radio!
0:41:24 > 0:41:26- Of course we need you! - How much was it?- £50.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- VENDOR:- In its original box. - CHARLIE:- You haven't bought it?
0:41:29 > 0:41:31- Sharpen up, guys!- Yeah, yeah.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- May I look at it, sir? - VENDOR:- You certainly can.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39- Tell us what we've bought. - I'll tell you what you bought.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- You've bought a 1950s... - VENDOR:- '57.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45- CHARLIE:- Was it '57? - Is it £50-worth?
0:41:45 > 0:41:48- VENDOR:- In its original box. - CHARLIE:- God, it's fab!
0:41:48 > 0:41:51This is the sort of radio I used to have at home.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- VENDOR:- It works. It's out of my own private collection.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58- CHARLIE:- If you put that on, you'll get the news from the war.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00- VENDOR:- You'll double your money on that.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02- CHARLIE:- It's wonderful. It's in amazing condition.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04- VENDOR:- It's out of my own private collection.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06But is it worth £50?
0:42:06 > 0:42:08I have to say it's not a bad starting price.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10But they shook on £50.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Although maybe Harry could use his special talent to get a lower price.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- Might we do £40 or £60, rock, paper, scissors?- I can't.- You can't.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- It's got to be £50. - But it could be £60 if you win.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23- CHARLIE:- Have you ever played rock, paper, scissors?
0:42:23 > 0:42:24- VENDOR:- Yes.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28If you win, we'll buy it for £60, if you lose, we'll buy it for £40.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31That's quite fun, isn't it? I'd like to witness this.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- VENDOR:- Go on. - CHARLIE:- Go on! Love it!
0:42:33 > 0:42:35I'm scared to watch as well, Michael.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37- TOGETHER:- One, two, three.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39One, two, three.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:42:42 > 0:42:48Harry told me rock always wins, so the Blues get the radio for £40.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Just two buys to get in the final 15 minutes, then.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53The Reds only need one.
0:42:53 > 0:42:54What have you seen there?
0:42:55 > 0:42:59- A Doulton figurine?- Yeah.- Young man.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03- Fishing? No, cooking his fish. - Cooking his fish.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05With an HN number.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09Now, the HN number will tell you when it was produced
0:43:09 > 0:43:13and, ultimately, the lower the HN number the earlier it is
0:43:13 > 0:43:16and the more valuable it is. What I'm most concerned about is...
0:43:16 > 0:43:19- Damage or whether it's been repaired.- Exactly.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21- We want to check... - Felt round his head.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Check the extremities, that's the important thing.
0:43:23 > 0:43:28- Around his head here.- And his fingers.- And around his frying pan.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30He seems to be in good shape to me.
0:43:30 > 0:43:35- Now, I don't think he's particularly old.- No.- But that doesn't matter.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38It's a collector's market.
0:43:38 > 0:43:39He is rather charming.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43Now, he's got a price on of £48.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46I was thinking more like £25, £30.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49- Oh, were you?- Yeah.- Right, indeed.
0:43:49 > 0:43:50Do you think it might be worth me
0:43:50 > 0:43:55- asking the owner what his friendliest price might be?- Yeah.
0:43:55 > 0:44:00While Richard has a word, Charlie needs the boys to step up a gear.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03Come on, guys. We want a bit of action. Come on, guys. Come on.
0:44:03 > 0:44:07You've got ten minutes to get two lots!
0:44:07 > 0:44:09Now, any news on the figurine?
0:44:09 > 0:44:11Right, well, I've been to ask the dealer
0:44:11 > 0:44:13what he said the best price he'd do on it.
0:44:13 > 0:44:18It's marked at £48. He'll give us a discount down to £40.
0:44:18 > 0:44:23As much as I do like it, I would love to get it just under that
0:44:23 > 0:44:25if I could. Do you think that...?
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Well, I think I've taken it as far as I can.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32- If you think you can just shave him a couple of pounds...- So, you stay.
0:44:32 > 0:44:37- ..without risking losing the sale. - Yeah.- Let's leave it with you.- OK.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40Good luck, Penny - although I think Rosco needs it more.
0:44:41 > 0:44:45Look, a bit of militaria here. See that old case?
0:44:45 > 0:44:49It's got a strap there to put it on your belt. And what is it?
0:44:49 > 0:44:52First World War compass, I think.
0:44:52 > 0:44:53And in working order...
0:44:55 > 0:44:58..and intact, too. It doesn't appear to be damaged.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00Quite an interesting piece of history.
0:45:00 > 0:45:04- Excuse me, sir. How much is your military compass?- VENDOR: £55.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06- We have got about five minutes left. - 40 quid.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10- 40 quid.- VENDOR: All right, 40 quid. - Yeah, 40 quid.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14- Are you happy?- Yeah, yeah. - Go on, buy it! Buy it!
0:45:16 > 0:45:19You may have got your second buy but there's no time to waste.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22You've five minutes and counting. Try and keep up.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25No need for Penny to run. Looks like she's done a deal.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27- £38.- £38!- Well done.
0:45:27 > 0:45:31- Well done. Excellent. - That's our third item.- We're there.
0:45:31 > 0:45:36- I'm happy.- Third item, over, done and sold. Fantastic.- Well done.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39- You're happy?- Really happy. - You're happy?- Very.- I'm happy.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42- How about a nice cup of tea? - How about let's go to the pub?
0:45:42 > 0:45:43All right, the pub!
0:45:43 > 0:45:45THEY LAUGH
0:45:45 > 0:45:48I know Charlie will need a drink after all this sprinting!
0:45:50 > 0:45:51The boys not so much.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54And with time nearly up, I think Rosco's come back for the clock.
0:45:54 > 0:45:59Oh, glad to see you've turned up, boys. Don't bust a gut.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03- Don't rush yourselves.- A wizard arrives precisely when he means to.
0:46:03 > 0:46:08Now, you're going to see a master at work here. This was £80, wasn't it?
0:46:08 > 0:46:12- Yes.- But you'll take £70 off me cos you've known me so long.- No, sir.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15- £75 and we've got a deal.- Done.
0:46:16 > 0:46:21- That was a bit sharp.- Cheers.- To say I'm relieved is an understatement.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23ALARM CLOCK RINGS
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Teams, your 60 minutes are up.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28Such a nerve-racking hour in my life with you two.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31- You are cool dudes, aren't you? - I've been pretty laidback.- Yeah.
0:46:31 > 0:46:35- PRETTY laidback? Nevertheless... - But we got there in the end.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38Yes, you got there, but now we need to be off again.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41We are going back to the auction to sell our items.
0:46:41 > 0:46:44But first, let's have a reminder of what the Red team bought.
0:46:45 > 0:46:50I'm hoping this is going to be used as advertised. £30 paid.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55The ship's bell was £95,
0:46:55 > 0:46:59but will it leave the ladies drowning in a profit?
0:46:59 > 0:47:04And the River Boy figurine from Royal Doulton was theirs for £38.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07Let's hope it makes a splash at the auction.
0:47:07 > 0:47:08Well, Penny and Pat,
0:47:08 > 0:47:11you went out there and you've gone and spent £163.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14But that left Mr Richard Madeley here
0:47:14 > 0:47:18with the best part of £137 to spend.
0:47:18 > 0:47:22Richard, you boldly went and bought what?
0:47:22 > 0:47:25I went a long way from here. I went to....
0:47:25 > 0:47:27..China.
0:47:27 > 0:47:32A Chinese double gourd sang de boeuf vase.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35Sounds very posh. Double gourd. Two nuts.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37Sang de boeuf, that blood red.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40And underneath, the mark.
0:47:40 > 0:47:41The Chien Lung period.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43So an 18th century mark.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46But don't believe all that you see.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48- No.- No.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51So, it's later. And it will tell you, it's a lot later.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53- But...- How much is it worth?
0:47:53 > 0:47:56- I gave £30 for it. - Ah, yes. We'd go with that.- Yes.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59Well, don't be too quick to decide, Reds.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01You have until after your third item has sold.
0:48:01 > 0:48:05But now, let's have a look at the Blue team's three items.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09Harry conquered the dealer at rock, paper, scissors
0:48:09 > 0:48:14to get a decent discount on this 1950s radio. £40 paid.
0:48:16 > 0:48:19The boys lacked direction during their shop,
0:48:19 > 0:48:23so maybe they should have bought one of these a bit earlier.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25The brass compass was £40.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27And time had nearly run out
0:48:27 > 0:48:31when the team paid £75 for this Victorian clock.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34Let's hope it hands them a profit when it goes under the hammer.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37So, the Blue team, yes, Michael and Harry.
0:48:37 > 0:48:40I see that you spent £155
0:48:40 > 0:48:44and, Charlie, you had the princely sum of £145 to go out and spend.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46- I did. - And what did you come up with?
0:48:46 > 0:48:49To be perfectly honest, I was so terrified by these two boys.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52They are so confident they are going to win a golden gavel,
0:48:52 > 0:48:55- I thought, "I don't want to ruin this for them."- No.
0:48:55 > 0:49:00- I just thought one word.- Yes. - "Profit."- OK.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03It's a cheroot holder case.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05This is probably a male one.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07This would have been an amber holder, probably,
0:49:07 > 0:49:09into which you put your cheroot.
0:49:09 > 0:49:13It's solid silver, it's Birmingham, it's 1916
0:49:13 > 0:49:16and, I have to say, it wasn't overly expensive.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19- What's it worth, guys?- 20 quid? - 20 quid?
0:49:19 > 0:49:22- Paid 15!- That's a bargain.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25- All right, boys, what do you think of it?- I'm a fan.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28I think £15's a steal and I think it will make profit.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31It fits the mould of getting profit off every item, definitely.
0:49:31 > 0:49:35If you don't go with this bonus buy, you are bonkers!
0:49:35 > 0:49:39Confidence indeed. Don't feel too pressurised, though, Blues.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41You have a little time to decide.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Right, then. The auctioneer, Colin Young,
0:49:43 > 0:49:47has his gavel in hand and is raring to go, so let's sell.
0:49:47 > 0:49:49- Penny and Pat, you Reds.- Yes.- Yes.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52- Is the auction room your natural habitat?- No.- I've been before.
0:49:52 > 0:49:56- You have been before?- Never. - Oh, really?- No.- First time?- Yeah.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58- At least it was with me. - Ah, that's true.
0:49:58 > 0:50:02But, Richard, we've got every faith in yourselves, haven't you?
0:50:02 > 0:50:06- Absolutely. Total confidence.- Good. - Said with authority.- Yeah.
0:50:06 > 0:50:10First off is the vintage-style tattoo sign. Here it comes.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13Start me at £20. £20, anyone? 20? 10 to go then, surely.
0:50:13 > 0:50:1510, do we have 10? 10 bid.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17- 12? 12 bid. 15. 18, 18, 20. - That's good.
0:50:17 > 0:50:2022, 25. 28. And 30? 30 bid now?
0:50:20 > 0:50:23- 28. 30 bid. 32. 35 do I see now? - Yes!
