DETECTOR BUZZES

0:00:020:00:04

Now, you might be wondering what I'm searching for,

0:00:060:00:10

but many centuries ago, Lincoln had its own mint,

0:00:100:00:13

so I'm in search of a bit of their old money.

0:00:130:00:16

No luck yet!

0:00:190:00:21

DETECTOR BUZZES

0:00:210:00:23

It's all happening!

0:00:230:00:25

Bingo!

0:00:290:00:30

Wow! In all my days,

0:00:300:00:33

I never thought I'd set my eyes on one of these.

0:00:330:00:36

So, it's heavy, it's gold and it's inscribed.

0:00:360:00:40

It says here, "Let's go bargain hunting."

0:00:400:00:44

So let's do it. Let's go bargain hunting.

0:00:440:00:47

Well, our teams will be wanting to make the biggest

0:01:140:01:17

profit from the three items they find amongst the stalls.

0:01:170:01:20

DETECTOR BUZZES Wahey! But the question is,

0:01:200:01:23

will they win one of these?

0:01:230:01:25

That would be telling. But here's a taste of what's coming up.

0:01:250:01:29

The Reds struggle to contain their excitement...

0:01:300:01:33

-Ooh!

-Ooh!

-Already "ooh".

0:01:330:01:36

..the Blues strut their stuff...

0:01:360:01:38

# My old man's a dustman, he wears a dustman's hat

0:01:380:01:42

# He wears cor blimey trousers... #

0:01:420:01:45

..everyone tries keeping up at the auction...

0:01:450:01:49

-Oh, come on!

-Will it, get your hands out, come on.

0:01:490:01:54

..and who is the man who found time to amass one of the best

0:01:540:01:57

collections that I've ever seen?

0:01:570:01:59

I'm getting short of words, because quite simply they're breathtaking.

0:01:590:02:03

But before all that, let's meet our teams.

0:02:050:02:07

And our Red team today, we've got friends Judy and Mary,

0:02:070:02:11

and our Blues are Mr and Mrs, who are Kathleen and Stephen.

0:02:110:02:16

-So, hello! ALL:

-Hello!

-Hello. Well, Judy, can I start with you?

0:02:160:02:20

Because you're not going to be camera-shy today, are you?

0:02:200:02:23

Well, I do quite a bit of TV and film extra work, which is great fun.

0:02:230:02:27

I've worked on Downton Abbey, right through until the end of the series.

0:02:270:02:30

-What else?

-I've worked with Tom Cruise, who was really lovely.

0:02:300:02:33

-Tom Cruise, no less?

-And that was in Edge Of Tomorrow.

0:02:330:02:36

I can see you're wearing some very interesting, sort of vintage...

0:02:360:02:40

Dare I use the word vintage? ..jewellery and...

0:02:400:02:43

Now, you're into all that?

0:02:430:02:45

Yes, we both are, very into this. This is actually how we met.

0:02:450:02:49

Judy needed a model for a fashion show,

0:02:490:02:52

and I stepped in, and we did a very successful fashion show, didn't we?

0:02:520:02:57

And that's led on to re-enacting, 1930s and 1940s particularly.

0:02:570:03:02

And any excuse to dress up and have a lot of fun.

0:03:020:03:05

-I'm with you on that one!

-Yes.

-LAUGHTER

0:03:050:03:08

Now, turning my attention to the Blues.

0:03:080:03:11

Stephen, tell me, you're very keen on fishing?

0:03:110:03:15

Oh, I love my fishing. I love going out fishing.

0:03:150:03:17

Just the quietness of the river bank or the lake.

0:03:170:03:19

I go mainly after the larger fish.

0:03:190:03:22

My record's a 32lb carp.

0:03:220:03:25

How big, with your hands, show me how big is a 32...

0:03:250:03:28

-32... It's about that long and that deep.

-Yeah, OK.

0:03:280:03:33

-You know when you pick it up!

-LAUGHTER

0:03:330:03:35

I know exactly - they're that long and that big, so you are a fisherman.

0:03:350:03:40

Kathleen, something I've learnt about you,

0:03:400:03:42

you're very nimble on your feet.

0:03:420:03:43

USED to be nimble on my feet.

0:03:430:03:45

No, no, I don't know about that. Um, because you're into tap dancing?

0:03:450:03:48

I was lucky enough to go to a stage school, and we did lots of theatre

0:03:480:03:52

and dance and things there, and it was brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

0:03:520:03:55

Come on, give us a twirl... Give us a...

0:03:550:03:59

-Oh, well, what do we think, a round of applause!

-Jazz hands!

0:04:030:04:07

-I must give you Michael Flatley's telephone number.

-Thank you.

0:04:070:04:10

LAUGHTER

0:04:100:04:12

All right, we've got £300 each for you.

0:04:120:04:14

I want you to go off there, buy those three items

0:04:140:04:17

and I want you to go now and find your respective experts.

0:04:170:04:20

So, good luck! And I think we're in for a bit of fun.

0:04:200:04:23

So, which experts are joining our two sets of teams today?

0:04:230:04:27

He's been good, so we'll let him out early.

0:04:270:04:30

Richard Madley does time with the Reds.

0:04:300:04:33

And buckle up, Blues, you're in for a wild ride! It's Charlie Ross.

0:04:330:04:38

-Kath, Steve, come to me!

-LAUGHTER

0:04:400:04:43

Oh, lovely to see you.

0:04:430:04:45

-Lovely to see you.

-Now, what are you going to be looking for today?

0:04:450:04:48

-Bargains!

-Bargains, yeah.

0:04:480:04:50

-SHE YELPS

-So, losing your hat already?

0:04:500:04:53

-Have you come here today with some tactics in mind?

-Yes, we have.

0:04:530:04:57

-A bit of silver, maybe.

-A bit of silver?

-Jewellery.

-Of course.

0:04:570:05:01

-And for you, Kath?

-Whatever takes my eye.

0:05:010:05:02

I don't want to choose something

0:05:020:05:04

-and then not be able to find it within the hour.

-Really?

-Yes.

0:05:040:05:07

Something that can be used inside and outside.

0:05:070:05:09

KETTLE WHISTLES

0:05:090:05:11

Well, I'm sorry, teams, there's no time for tea

0:05:110:05:13

because your 60 minutes are about to begin.

0:05:130:05:16

-WHISTLE BLOWS

-Hang on to your hats,

0:05:160:05:18

let's go shopping.

0:05:180:05:19

-Excitement! Come on, let's have it.

-All of those!

0:05:190:05:22

Well, the skies may be grey,

0:05:220:05:23

but our teams are braving the elements.

0:05:230:05:26

-Look! A wonderful stall! Let's get cracking.

-Good morning.

0:05:260:05:30

-Good morning.

-May I look at your inkwell, please?

-Wow.

0:05:300:05:33

-What about that? Good grief!

-That's a big weight.

0:05:330:05:38

-Kath, feel the weight of that! He said.

-Oh!

0:05:380:05:42

LAUGHTER

0:05:420:05:43

That is rather delicious. No mark on it, is there, though?

0:05:430:05:46

There will be a mark on it, you trust me. There we are.

0:05:460:05:49

A little shield with a leopard's head in it. Where was it made?

0:05:490:05:53

-Is that Sheffield?

-No.

-No.

-Birmingham?

-No.

0:05:530:05:56

-That's...

-London!

-ALL: London!

-Well done, well done.

0:05:560:06:01

-Go to the top of the class.

-And this is 1893.

0:06:010:06:05

Do you know what that's worth?

0:06:050:06:08

-The ticket says...

-What does the ticket say?

0:06:080:06:11

-No, no, I like that, "The ticket says..."

-145.

-Yes.

0:06:110:06:14

But our new best friend, Greg,

0:06:140:06:16

he's going to come down a bit from that for us,

0:06:160:06:20

-I would think.

-130?

-Yes.

0:06:200:06:21

-You can't do any better than 130?

-I could squeeze in another five.

0:06:210:06:26

-Squeeze a five! I think we're very early into our shop.

-Yes.

0:06:260:06:30

If that Red team come here, tell them it's 200 quid.

0:06:300:06:34

And a note for everything.

0:06:340:06:35

THEY LAUGH

0:06:350:06:38

I can tell you lot aren't to be trusted.

0:06:380:06:40

I think the Reds have something else in mind anyway.

0:06:400:06:43

-I quite like militaria, but...

-Yeah, militaria is a good subject.

0:06:430:06:48

Talking about militaria...

0:06:480:06:50

There's something that catches my eye.

0:06:500:06:52

I've also seen something else that catches my eye,

0:06:520:06:54

but we'll start on the drum.

0:06:540:06:55

-Is there any age to this?

-Yes, First World War.

-First World War?

0:06:550:06:58

Yes, the Officers' Training Corps,

0:06:580:07:00

which is before the Combined Cadet Force,

0:07:000:07:02

which was the school... It's my old school.

0:07:020:07:05

-You were at Denstone College?

-Denstone College.

0:07:050:07:07

The old-school drum.

0:07:070:07:09

-Was it Army cadets?

-Yes.

-Army cadets.

0:07:090:07:11

So, could we enquire about the price?

0:07:110:07:14

-£150 would be the cheapest.

-£150. It's a good-looking thing.

-It is.

0:07:140:07:19

I've got to say, it is a good-looking thing,

0:07:190:07:21

but it would be half your budget.

0:07:210:07:23

Put it on the maybe list, you've still got 45 minutes left,

0:07:230:07:26

and there's plenty out there, even if it is a little soggy.

0:07:260:07:30

-The weather's really coming in now.

-It's coming in, isn't it? I know.

0:07:300:07:33

That'll keep the rain out!

0:07:330:07:35

No time for clowning around, Charlie, you need to buy something.

0:07:350:07:38

-You best get on the case!

-Ooh, I quite like that.

0:07:380:07:41

Yes, I do quite like it.

0:07:410:07:42

-Well, we've seen something you like!

-I know!

0:07:420:07:45

We're getting there at last! We've only had about two hours shopping.

0:07:450:07:48

-More like 20 minutes!

-Do you want to ask how much it is?

-Yes.

0:07:480:07:52

My Kath would love that if it was ever so cheap,

0:07:520:07:55

because she'd pretend that somebody could make it into a coffee table.

0:07:550:07:58

I have a champagne taste, pale ale pocket.

0:07:580:08:00

THEY LAUGH

0:08:000:08:02

-Well, disregarding that, it's still £35.

-£35.

-Yes.

-Not untoward, is it?

0:08:020:08:07

-No. No. No.

-That is definitely an old trunk.

-Yeah.

0:08:070:08:10

Whether the labels are old is anybody's guess.

0:08:100:08:13

But, whoever did it, if they aren't old, has done them very cleverly,

0:08:130:08:17

-because they've ripped bits off...

-THEY LAUGH

0:08:170:08:21

-I like it, it looks the part.

-Answer an honest question?

0:08:210:08:24

-Did you put the labels on?

-Of course I did.

-Yeah, of course. You see!

0:08:240:08:28

Isn't that wonderful, when people are honest? There you are.

0:08:280:08:31

-The very best price on that being...?

-I can do that for 30.

0:08:310:08:33

-Happy with 30 quid?

-Yeah, happy at 30.

0:08:330:08:35

-Brilliant.

-Shake the man's hand.

-Thank you.

0:08:350:08:38

Brilliant, Blues.

0:08:380:08:40

-Thank you.

-Bye.

-Bye-bye.

-But don't stop now.

0:08:400:08:43

You've got two lots to go, and just over 30 minutes left.

0:08:430:08:46

Anything on that inside/outside theme you'd like to pursue?

0:08:460:08:51

-These.

-These.

-These?

-They just caught my eye. They caught my eye.

0:08:510:08:55

-What do you think of this one, Mary?

-They look like horses.

0:08:550:08:58

-Half a horse, half... serpentine-like.

-Yes.

0:08:580:09:01

THEY LAUGH

0:09:010:09:04

This has caught our eye.

0:09:040:09:05

The price is usually 65, I'll do it for 55.

0:09:050:09:10

-And what is it?

-It's a hippocampus.

0:09:100:09:12

Which is a mythical creature from Greek mythology.

0:09:120:09:16

-MARY:

-And it's like a ridge tile? Ridge tile.

0:09:160:09:18

They're all... I really like the dragons, as well,

0:09:180:09:20

but I just think this two-headed one

0:09:200:09:22

-has got something about it.

-That's my favourite.

0:09:220:09:24

Do you have these made for you,

0:09:240:09:25

they're available in the marketplace?

0:09:250:09:27

-We make them ourselves.

-You make them yourself?

0:09:270:09:29

Can we just squeeze it a little bit lower?

0:09:290:09:31

How close can you get to me?

0:09:310:09:32

-48?

-48? Yeah, I'll settle on that. 48.

0:09:320:09:35

-Could you do 45?

-STALLHOLDER:

-Got a deal there at 48!

0:09:350:09:38

THEY LAUGH

0:09:380:09:40

I'll tell you what, we'll spin a coin, 45 or 48.

0:09:400:09:44

-You can call, Mary.

-Oh, yes.

-Ready?

-Toss the coin.

-Heads or tails?

0:09:440:09:48

-MARY:

-Heads.

-STALLHOLDER:

-We go on the ground?

0:09:480:09:50

-MARY:

-It's not a double-headed one, is it?

-Tails.

0:09:500:09:52

THEY LAUGH

0:09:520:09:54

Good old double-tailed coin, it never fails.

0:09:540:09:58

I promise you it's a real one.

0:09:580:09:59

That's it, the first deal is done. Excellent. In the bag.

0:09:590:10:02

-Thank you very much indeed, sir.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:10:020:10:06

And yourself.

0:10:060:10:07

You can't win them all, Reds,

0:10:070:10:08

but at £48 the hippocampus could still be a steal.

0:10:080:10:13

LAUGHTER

0:10:130:10:15

-Evening, all.

-Evening, all.

0:10:150:10:17

I'm going to give you a caution -

0:10:170:10:19

you've less than half an hour to go.

0:10:190:10:21

We've got one purchase in the bag.

0:10:210:10:22

I'd have liked to see have seen a little bit more.

0:10:220:10:25

Maybe one and a half, but we have got the drum, haven't we?

0:10:250:10:27

-How many things have we bought?

-One.

-One.

0:10:270:10:29

-How many have we got to buy?

-BOTH: Three.

0:10:290:10:31

STEPHEN LAUGHS

0:10:310:10:33

-Are we worried?

-Two...left.

-You're right, three in all.

0:10:330:10:36

Come on, let's go and look at that drum.

0:10:360:10:38

You'll have to work your magic on that £150 price tag.

0:10:380:10:42

It's still there.

0:10:420:10:44

-Can I turn it over?

-Yes, turn it over.

-OK.

0:10:440:10:47

Might need a bit of help with this, Mary.

0:10:470:10:49

-It's all right on the bottom?

-Wet.

-That's fine.

0:10:490:10:53

-Yeah, how does it sound?

-Sounds good.

-Good.

0:10:530:10:57

But I've got just one question to ask you, sir - would £140 buy it?

0:10:570:11:02

No, I'm afraid it wouldn't.

0:11:020:11:03

I asked you the same price that I wanted, and it's a fair deal.

0:11:030:11:06

-In that case, sir, we'd like to buy your drum.

-Wonderful.

0:11:060:11:09

-Thank you very much. Deal.

-Thank you.

-I love your hat.

0:11:090:11:12

-MARY:

-Thank you very much.

0:11:120:11:13

ALL LAUGH

0:11:130:11:16

You're getting into the rhythm now, Reds, which requires perfect timing.

0:11:160:11:20

Talking of which, this is your 15-minute warning.

0:11:200:11:23

Have you found your second item yet, Blues?

0:11:230:11:26

Something sparkly and sophisticated perhaps?

0:11:260:11:28

-I like this one.

-Really?

0:11:280:11:31

You like a knackered old malt shovel, do you?

0:11:310:11:33

THEY LAUGH

0:11:330:11:35

I feel a bit like a knackered old malt shovel,

0:11:350:11:37

to be honest, perfectly honest.

0:11:370:11:39

Looks nice, it's got a nice bit of age to it.

0:11:390:11:41

-I like it.

-It's got age?

-Yeah.

0:11:410:11:42

I love the repair.

0:11:420:11:44

I love the hallmarked silver repair on it.

0:11:440:11:46

-It's particularly nice.

-It's delicate, isn't it?

0:11:460:11:48

I think if it was free, I would go for it.

0:11:480:11:51

-90, but for you, 30.

-90 would be... What, pence?!

0:11:510:11:54

STEPHEN LAUGHS

0:11:540:11:56

I love it, but would somebody pay more than 30 quid at auction?

0:11:560:11:59

-No, they wouldn't.

-No.

0:11:590:12:01

Which is a shame, but on the other hand...

0:12:010:12:03

# My old man's a dustman, he wears a dustman's hat

0:12:030:12:06

# He wears cor blimey trousers... #

0:12:060:12:07

-STALLHOLDER:

-..because you play.

-KATHLEEN:

-22.

0:12:070:12:10

22! I want it for a tenner,

0:12:100:12:12

because I think it will make 14 quid at auction. She's going to play it.

0:12:120:12:15

-She's going to strum to me.

-You know what?

0:12:150:12:17

-Because I like you, make it 20.

-KATHLEEN:

-I like it.

0:12:170:12:20

I'm just going to say one thing...

0:12:200:12:22

I'm going to hand over the money, and if that makes a loss,

0:12:220:12:25

-don't blame me.

-I won't.

0:12:250:12:27

So, you're a gentleman and a player.

0:12:270:12:30

You have made a £20 profit on that lot.

0:12:300:12:33

-KATHLEEN:

-I love it. I'd give you 20 quid.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:12:330:12:36

STEPHEN LAUGHS

0:12:360:12:38

It's not the most glamorous object I've ever seen, but who knows?

0:12:380:12:41

It may get you out of a hole at the auction.

0:12:410:12:44

Both teams now need their final buys,

0:12:440:12:46

and have just under ten minutes.

0:12:460:12:49

Found any jewellery, Reds?

0:12:490:12:51

-Over the course of...

-Ooh!

-Oh!

-Ooh!

0:12:510:12:53

-Already "ooh".

-There we go.

-There we go.

0:12:530:12:57

-Mary, there's jewellery over there.

-OK, right.

-Is that enamel?

-Yes.

0:12:570:13:02

Enamelled and silver are nice, as well.

0:13:020:13:04

-I know it's not jewellery, it's just rather decorative.

-Very pretty.

0:13:040:13:07

I don't know if it has any real use, but it's rather nice.

0:13:070:13:11

-Letter opener, isn't it?

-Yeah...

0:13:110:13:13

Think about it, take it back to the money man?

0:13:130:13:17

Don't take too long. Five minutes and counting.

0:13:170:13:20

What do we want to do?

0:13:200:13:21

-I think we'll go back and get that inkwell.

-Yeah?

0:13:210:13:24

-An actual antique.

-A proper antique.

0:13:240:13:26

It would be nice to have just a splash...

0:13:260:13:28

-A bit of quality.

-A splash of quality. Come on, then.

0:13:280:13:31

Now, whilst the Reds were looking for jewellery,

0:13:310:13:34

they're now hunting for something else.

0:13:340:13:36

-We've lost...

-Have we lost Richard?

0:13:360:13:40

The ladies are looking for you, Mr Madley.

0:13:400:13:43

Get the impression we've been here before?

0:13:440:13:47

-Now, have you still got the inkwell, sir?

-I have, sir, yes.

0:13:470:13:50

-He's still got the inkwell.

-Bonus.

-Look at that.

0:13:500:13:54

-Isn't that magnificent?

-I do still really like it.

0:13:540:13:57

You really like it, you really like it. 130?

0:13:570:14:00

-130?

-Yeah. Sure that is the very best?

0:14:000:14:02

Being an honest man, I think we agreed on 125.

0:14:020:14:05

-KATHLEEN:

-I think we did, as well.

0:14:050:14:07

-125.

-125...

-Marvellous.

-Thank you.

0:14:070:14:10

-You're a good man, Greg.

-Thank you.

0:14:100:14:13

So, the Blues are done and dusted. How about the Reds?

0:14:130:14:17

All we've seen so far is the letter opener.

0:14:170:14:18

I like it. I'd like to get the price down on it.

0:14:180:14:20

OK, let's go in and look at it.

0:14:200:14:22

Let's hope it's first-class, as you, teams, need to post a profit.

0:14:220:14:26

-We've done well.

-That's my quality item.

0:14:260:14:28

And we've finished within time.

0:14:280:14:30

Come on. Show me some more dance moves.

0:14:300:14:33

Loving your moves, Blues.

0:14:330:14:34

Maybe the Reds should try out a quickstep,

0:14:340:14:37

as they're running out of time.

0:14:370:14:39

What do you think of that, Richard?

0:14:400:14:41

-I think it's very nice.

-OK. It's different, isn't it?

0:14:410:14:45

-And functional. A bit Nouveau.

-A bit Art Nouveau.

0:14:450:14:48

Yeah, peacocks. Always a good design.

0:14:480:14:50

-It's almost Japanese. It's probably 1890...

-Japanese?

0:14:500:14:54

I think, yeah, Japanese... Well, Japonesque is a term that is

0:14:540:14:57

used for things of a Japanese influence.

0:14:570:15:00

The price is £17.

0:15:000:15:04

We can get it for £15, so...

0:15:040:15:07

And you'd be happy with that?

0:15:070:15:08

You think we'd make a bit of a profit on that?

0:15:080:15:10

-I think...

-I think we will.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, I think so.

-I think...

0:15:100:15:13

-Should we go for this?

-We're short of time.

0:15:130:15:15

It's lovely, actually. It's a lovely item, I think.

0:15:150:15:17

Good. Thank you. We'll have it.

0:15:170:15:19

ALARMS RING

0:15:190:15:22

That means, teams, your 60 minutes are up.

0:15:220:15:26

That was a rush, wasn't it?

0:15:260:15:27

It's now time to sell,

0:15:280:15:31

and we've hopped over to Golding, Young & Mawer auctioneers.

0:15:310:15:35

First, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.

0:15:350:15:38

The Reds hope this hippocampus ridge tile

0:15:380:15:40

will raise the roof at the auction. It cost them £48.

0:15:400:15:45

£150 was paid for this military drum,

0:15:450:15:48

but will the punters stand to attention

0:15:480:15:50

when it goes under the hammer?

0:15:500:15:52

And the gilt brass letter opener was just £15.

0:15:520:15:56

Fingers crossed it delivers.

0:15:560:15:57

Well, Judy and Mary, I have to compliment you

0:15:570:16:00

because you spent a very credible £213,

0:16:000:16:03

leaving Mr Richard Madley here with £87 to go out and spend.

0:16:030:16:08

And, Richard, I'd be intrigued to see what you've got for the money.

0:16:080:16:13

Well, for these two stylish ladies, I wanted something

0:16:130:16:17

sparkly and silvery, and I found you...

0:16:170:16:20

Ooh!

0:16:200:16:22

-..this.

-Ooh.

-A double "ooh".

-Gorgeous.

-Yes.

0:16:220:16:26

A Victorian heart-shaped silver pin tray.

0:16:260:16:30

Maker's mark is SC, made in London

0:16:300:16:34

around about 1895 to 1905.

0:16:340:16:37

So, it's late Victorian, Edwardian.

0:16:370:16:39

This would fit on anybody's dressing table,

0:16:390:16:42

I'm sure you'd find space for it.

0:16:420:16:43

-It's beautiful.

-Just right for earrings.

-And I bought it for 30.

0:16:430:16:46

-That's pretty good.

-That's brilliant.

0:16:460:16:48

So, I was happy with that. Are you happy with that?

0:16:480:16:51

-Yeah, yeah.

-And I've got a feeling that there is a little bit of profit

0:16:510:16:55

-left in that.

-How much would you think?

-How much?

0:16:550:16:58

We might make a 50% profit.

0:16:580:17:01

Well, the Reds are rather smitten with Richard's heart-shaped dish.

0:17:010:17:04

But will they commit to it at auction? We'll find out later.

0:17:040:17:08

Now for the Blues. Let's remind ourselves what they bought

0:17:080:17:11

with their round of cash.

0:17:110:17:13

The labels may be fake, but they still closed the deal on this trunk.

0:17:130:17:17

£30 paid.

0:17:170:17:19

Will people dig deep to get their hands on this wooden malt shovel?

0:17:190:17:23

It cost the Blues £20.

0:17:230:17:25

And Charlie thought the Victorian inkwell

0:17:250:17:27

was something to write home about.

0:17:270:17:29

But at £125, could it blot his team's copybook?

0:17:290:17:33

Kathleen and Stephen, you went out and spent the best part of £175,

0:17:350:17:40

which meant that Mr Charles Ross here had the sum of £125

0:17:400:17:45

to play with. What did you come up with?

0:17:450:17:48

-Ooh!

-Oh!

-A tray.

0:17:480:17:52

It's much bigger than an ordinary dressing table pin tray.

0:17:520:17:56

It is silver, it's English,

0:17:560:17:59

it's got a wonderful gadroon border to it,

0:17:590:18:02

but it's got other things going on.

0:18:020:18:04

It's got this Rococo decoration,

0:18:040:18:06

it's got an acanthus leaf swirl to it,

0:18:060:18:09

it's got this wonderful mask.

0:18:090:18:11

Look at him, do you like him?

0:18:110:18:12

-Yes, yes.

-Just feel the weight.

0:18:120:18:14

You see, it's got real weight, and it's solid silver.

0:18:140:18:17

There's an awful lot of work in there, isn't there?

0:18:170:18:19

A huge amount of work, yeah.

0:18:190:18:21

-It's not my cup of tea, but will it make us money?

-Well, it cost £120,

0:18:210:18:25

but I think it stands a sporting chance

0:18:250:18:28

because it is a cut above the average example.

0:18:280:18:31

A sterling effort by Mr Ross,

0:18:310:18:33

but we'll see whether he's managed to persuade the Blues before long.

0:18:330:18:37

Now then, we're off to auction.

0:18:370:18:39

Colin Young is at the helm and he's ready to sell.

0:18:390:18:42

So, ladies, have you been to many auctions in your time, or...?

0:18:420:18:48

-I've only been to one.

-I've been to several.

0:18:480:18:51

-You've been to several?

-Yes, I do like them, yes.

0:18:510:18:53

-You're quite seasoned in it.

-She's a professional, yes.

0:18:530:18:56

We've got your decorative ridge tile coming up now.

0:18:560:18:58

You both loved this, didn't you?

0:18:580:19:00

-We did.

-I want to take it home with me.

0:19:000:19:02

Look, it's just about to come up,

0:19:020:19:04

so hang on to your hats and all systems go.

0:19:040:19:08

There we go, the ridge tile, hippocampus. £50.

0:19:080:19:12

£30. 20 to go, then, £20, everybody.

0:19:120:19:14

20 bid, two bid, five, 28, 28, 30, 32, 32 now, 35.

0:19:140:19:18

38, 40.

0:19:180:19:19

Two, 45, 48, bid 50, 50 bid.

0:19:190:19:22

-Come on.

-50, surely, 50 bid?

0:19:220:19:24

-Five, five, 60.

-We're in profit.

-55 bid. 60, do I see?

0:19:240:19:27

-60 bid, 65.

-Good, good.

-65, 70.

0:19:270:19:31

70 bid, 75.

0:19:310:19:32

80 now, 80 bid, 85.

0:19:320:19:35

-85! Come on!

-Are we all done at 80?

0:19:350:19:38

Come on! Come on, you Reds!

0:19:380:19:41

-Any of you? Nope, £80.

-Go on.

-We should have bid, too.

0:19:410:19:45

Going with £80. Any more?

0:19:450:19:47

-Sold at 80.

-Yes! Whoa, crikey!

0:19:470:19:50

Good start, ladies. Right, well, you're plus £32 on that.

0:19:500:19:53

Excellent, I think we're making history today.

0:19:530:19:56

OK, all right, the drum.

0:19:560:19:58

Who's going to start me at £100? £100, anyone, 100?

0:19:580:20:00

50, if you like, then. £50, anyone? 60, 70?

0:20:000:20:04

80, 90, 100.

0:20:040:20:06

At 90 bid, I'll take five now.

0:20:060:20:07

At £90, the bid's down here, then, at £90.

0:20:070:20:10

Five for anybody else, then? Selling at £90.

0:20:100:20:12

-Ouch!

-I knew, I knew...

0:20:120:20:15

Well, I'm afraid minus 60 is getting us down to

0:20:150:20:17

a minus 28, so, you know,

0:20:170:20:20

take one step forward and two steps back. There's your opener.

0:20:200:20:23

You thought this was going to give you the most profit.

0:20:230:20:25

£10, anybody. 10 at the back of the room. 12 now, do I see?

0:20:250:20:28

12 on the internet. 15 bid. 18 now.

0:20:280:20:30

At 15. 18, 18 bid. 20, at 18, 20 surely.

0:20:300:20:34

At £18 bid. Last call, then. It's on the internet.

0:20:340:20:36

All the room is out. Back in the room at 20.

0:20:360:20:39

22 now, may I say? 20 bid.

0:20:390:20:41

There's these two people on the net, hovering. Are you going to bid?

0:20:410:20:44

No, they've both gone away. At 20. Two now, may I say?

0:20:440:20:47

-Selling in the room at 20.

-20. OK.

0:20:470:20:50

Well...

0:20:500:20:52

Listen, it's £5, and it's in your pocket,

0:20:520:20:54

so you're going in the right direction. Minus 23.

0:20:540:20:57

The question is, are you going to go with the bonus buy?

0:20:570:21:00

-Definitely.

-Are you sure about that?

-We really like it.

-Love it.

0:21:000:21:03

-We think it's so pretty.

-We like it.

-Let's find out.

0:21:030:21:07

Who's going to start me at £50 for it? 50, anybody? 50.

0:21:070:21:09

30 to go, then, surely. 30, 20 to go. I'll take 10.

0:21:090:21:13

£10 for a bit of silver.

0:21:130:21:14

10, 12, 15, 18, 20, two, five, 28,

0:21:140:21:17

30, two, 35, 38. 35 standing here.

0:21:170:21:20

-At 35 bid. 38, surely. 38 bid. 40 now.

-40 bid.

0:21:200:21:23

42. £40 bid. 42?

0:21:230:21:26

-You know you want to.

-LAUGHTER

0:21:260:21:29

42 now. At £40. 42,

0:21:290:21:31

45 now. Do I see 45?

0:21:310:21:33

You know you want to. Never works twice, does it?

0:21:330:21:36

Well, it might do.

0:21:360:21:38

45. At 45. Phew! Lightning.

0:21:380:21:42

At 45. 48 now? No, it didn't work twice with you.

0:21:420:21:45

45. Eight or not, then? Selling, lady's bid standing here at £45.

0:21:450:21:49

Yes, excellent!

0:21:490:21:52

I'm plus £15.

0:21:520:21:53

But we're in a total, I think, of minus £8.

0:21:530:21:57

That can be a winning score, girls, I can assure you.

0:21:570:22:00

So, um, you know, take heart, if you will.

0:22:000:22:03

OK, Blues. Hello, Kathleen, hello, Stephen.

0:22:080:22:10

Your first item that's coming up is the trunk.

0:22:100:22:13

-It's a good-looking thing, isn't it? Are you excited?

-Yes.

-So am I.

0:22:130:22:17

Hang on, everybody, this could be a rocky ride.

0:22:170:22:19

Let's hope it's going to be a nice, smooth crossing.

0:22:190:22:21

-OK?

-Who's going to start me at £50 for it?

0:22:210:22:23

30 to go, then. £30, anybody. 30. 10 to go, then.

0:22:230:22:27

Ideal for interior decor. 10 bid. 12 now.

0:22:270:22:30

12 bid, surely. 12 bid.

0:22:300:22:33

Do I see 12, surely? 10 is here. At 10.

0:22:330:22:35

You're not looking very excited about it. At 10 bid.

0:22:350:22:38

12 now, may I say? £10 bid. Any more now? At 10.

0:22:380:22:41

12 on the internet. 15 there.

0:22:410:22:43

-18 here. 20 bid.

-It's moving.

0:22:430:22:46

-At £20 bid. Two, surely. At £20 bid.

-You're in.

0:22:460:22:48

Last call for everybody, then.

0:22:480:22:50

On my left here. Original bid is in at £20.

0:22:500:22:53

Oh, minus 10. Minus £10.

0:22:530:22:57

OK, it's not the end of the world.

0:22:570:22:59

You've got three lots to play with here. If you go with the bonus...

0:22:590:23:03

-Shovel!

-You'll love this. You loved this, didn't you?

0:23:030:23:05

Who's going to start me at £30 for it? 30. 20.

0:23:050:23:08

£10. £10, anybody.

0:23:080:23:11

-Surely £10 for a malt shovel.

-KATHLEEN:

-Please, bid!

0:23:110:23:14

10 up. Five, surely. £5, anybody.

0:23:140:23:16

£5, anybody? Five bid. Five. Any more now? Six, surely.

0:23:160:23:19

At £5 bid. Six now, do I see? At £5. Six now.

0:23:190:23:22

Surely somebody else can dig it.

0:23:220:23:24

£6 bid. Six, eight, eight bid, 10 bid.

0:23:240:23:26

-11 bid. 12 bid. 13. 13, do I see?

-He's going in ones!

0:23:260:23:31

13, 13, pay attention.

0:23:310:23:33

Last call at 12.

0:23:330:23:35

That made minus eight, so we're in a minus 18 now.

0:23:350:23:38

-So the next two lots could turn things around.

-This is a proper lot.

0:23:380:23:41

£100, anyone? 100. 50 if you like. Who's coming in at £50?

0:23:410:23:44

50. 50 bid, 50.

0:23:440:23:47

Five now, may I say? We're on the market at 50. 55.

0:23:470:23:50

Bid 60. Five now.

0:23:500:23:52

At 65. 70. Five now.

0:23:520:23:55

75. Quickly now. 75. £70 bid.

0:23:550:23:59

I'll take two as a last call. At 70. £70, are we all done?

0:23:590:24:02

Last call, then. Done, finished on two?

0:24:020:24:04

No. Selling in the room, at 72 on the net. At 72, 75, 75, 78 now.

0:24:040:24:09

75, last call at £75.

0:24:090:24:12

-Oh, £75. Minus 50.

-What's the damage, Eric?

0:24:120:24:16

-Minus 68 at the moment.

-Is that all?

-Don't worry, don't worry.

0:24:160:24:20

-I think it's that moment of truth. Do we go with the bonus buy?

-Yes.

0:24:200:24:25

-We'll trust our expert, Charlie.

-You do that.

0:24:250:24:28

It's a really good, crisp, bold hallmark.

0:24:280:24:30

Salaman & Levi, Birmingham, 1900.

0:24:300:24:35

I'm hoping he'll big it up when he's up there,

0:24:350:24:37

because you've gone with it now.

0:24:370:24:38

-We've found the hallmark on this...

-KATHLEEN:

-Hurray!

0:24:380:24:41

..which is 1900.

0:24:410:24:43

It is Levi & Salaman, so there we go. Quite a nice dish there.

0:24:430:24:48

Who's going to start me at £100? It will be easily over £100 for it.

0:24:480:24:52

80 to go, then. 80. £50 bid. 50.

0:24:520:24:55

Five anywhere else now? We've got 50. Five?

0:24:550:24:57

55 at the back of the room. At 55. 60,

0:24:570:24:59

five, 70, 70...

0:24:590:25:02

-Will it.

-Will it. Get your hands out.

0:25:020:25:05

-Will it, will it.

-Five, 80, five.

-Come on!

0:25:050:25:08

80. Five, surely. At £80 bid. At 80.

0:25:080:25:11

We've nearly reached scrap value.

0:25:110:25:14

85, 90. At 90 bid.

0:25:140:25:17

We're into market value now. 92, 95, 98 in the room. 98 now, surely.

0:25:170:25:22

-98, do I see? 95 on the internet. 95.

-Come on!

0:25:220:25:25

Is anybody else going to bid? 90.

0:25:250:25:27

Very pretty dish. All done and finished at £95.

0:25:270:25:31

Sold at 95, thank you very much.

0:25:310:25:34

It was a noble effort, which has sadly resulted

0:25:340:25:37

in a £25 loss.

0:25:370:25:39

However, however, you know,

0:25:390:25:41

at least we're keeping a common theme going there.

0:25:410:25:44

So, I reckon we've done minus 93, if my maths is correct.

0:25:440:25:49

And the most important thing to remember, don't talk to the Reds.

0:25:490:25:53

-OK. All right?

-I don't think they'll want to.

0:25:530:25:57

THEY LAUGH

0:25:570:25:58

Unfortunately, neither team is going home with cash,

0:25:580:26:02

but hats off to the Reds who have today's winning score.

0:26:020:26:06

Coming up, will our next two teams be up to the challenge?

0:26:060:26:10

Meanwhile, I'm off to hear about one of Lincoln's jewels,

0:26:140:26:17

and I'm not talking about its castle.

0:26:170:26:19

Or cathedral.

0:26:190:26:21

But the gem I'm here to learn about wasn't made from stone,

0:26:240:26:28

but flesh and blood.

0:26:280:26:30

James Ward Usher was a jeweller who ran this shop in Lincoln.

0:26:330:26:38

He was a shrewd businessman who didn't miss a trick.

0:26:380:26:41

And in the late 19th century, he made his fortune after

0:26:430:26:46

spotting the moneymaking potential of a Lincolnshire legend.

0:26:460:26:50

The story goes, Satan sent two unruly creatures called imps

0:26:520:26:57

to Lincoln to create mischief and mayhem.

0:26:570:27:01

The two imps found their way into the cathedral and ran riot.

0:27:060:27:10

And it's said that an angel appeared and turned one of them into stone.

0:27:100:27:16

The legend goes that the imp was imprisoned here forever.

0:27:160:27:20

And there he is.

0:27:200:27:22

Usher exploited the tale of the Lincoln imp to his advantage.

0:27:230:27:28

He made all sorts of souvenirs featuring the mischievous creature,

0:27:280:27:32

and sold them to Lincoln's tourists.

0:27:320:27:34

As the sole supplier of imp memorabilia,

0:27:340:27:37

Usher watched the money roll in.

0:27:370:27:40

This meant he could afford to indulge in his real passion.

0:27:400:27:44

And that passion was collecting.

0:27:450:27:48

Usher amassed a huge collection of treasures from all around the world.

0:27:510:27:56

But he didn't forget his roots,

0:27:560:27:57

and his heart always belonged to Lincoln.

0:27:570:27:59

Well, there's no doubting that James Ward Usher had a good eye

0:28:020:28:05

and impeccable taste.

0:28:050:28:07

And when he died, he left his collection

0:28:070:28:09

to the good people of Lincoln.

0:28:090:28:11

And on top of that, he left them

0:28:110:28:13

enough money to build the Usher Gallery.

0:28:130:28:16

Andrea Martin is the curator and can tell me

0:28:200:28:23

more about this wonderful place and the man who made it possible.

0:28:230:28:26

He seems to have concentrated primarily on objects?

0:28:280:28:31

Yes, very much an object man.

0:28:310:28:34

So, ceramics, silver, watches, enamels.

0:28:340:28:38

As well as being jewellers, the Usher family were talented

0:28:380:28:41

clock and watchmakers, which meant James had an incredible eye

0:28:410:28:46

for things that go tick, tock.

0:28:460:28:49

So the first watch we've got here is one of Usher's favourite watches,

0:28:490:28:52

made by a watchmaker called Rigby, so it's a 19th-century watch.

0:28:520:28:57

But, actually, on the back,

0:28:570:28:58

we have some beautiful blue enamelling.

0:28:580:29:01

-With a star of diamonds, I can see.

-Yes.

0:29:010:29:04

And when you twist it in the light,

0:29:040:29:06

it's a sort of semi-translucent, deep, cobalt blue, that enamel,

0:29:060:29:11

and picks up what appears to be like an engine turning.

0:29:110:29:14

I mean, you think of people like Faberge,

0:29:140:29:16

amongst others, using that method.

0:29:160:29:18

-Yes.

-But I'd think twice about taking that out of the safe,

0:29:180:29:22

never mind taking it out of the house.

0:29:220:29:24

And then they get smaller.

0:29:240:29:26

I mean, a little watch on a ring.

0:29:260:29:28

It's only 18 millimetres in diameter.

0:29:280:29:30

It was made by a watchmaker called John Arnold,

0:29:300:29:33

and it was reputedly made for George III.

0:29:330:29:36

Provenance is everything. Isn't it? You know, the royal connection.

0:29:360:29:39

The royal connection is the thing

0:29:390:29:41

that really, truly makes that one.

0:29:410:29:43

I think that would have sold it strongly to Usher.

0:29:430:29:46

I'm getting short of words because, quite simply, they're breathtaking.

0:29:460:29:50

There's no time to relax.

0:29:540:29:56

We need to get back to the antiques fair to see

0:29:560:29:58

whether our next set of bargain hunters have what it takes to

0:29:580:30:01

pick well and make a profit at auction.

0:30:010:30:05

Will the Reds be laughing all the way to the bank?

0:30:050:30:09

-THEY LAUGH

-They are very good.

-They are funky.

0:30:090:30:11

And do the Blues ever break a sweat?

0:30:130:30:15

You're lazy. Come on, guys, we want a bit of action.

0:30:150:30:18

Let's meet them.

0:30:180:30:20

Our Red team today are twin sisters and that's Penny and Pat.

0:30:200:30:25

And our Blues are friends Michael and Harry.

0:30:250:30:28

-So, hello. ALL:

-Hello!

0:30:280:30:30

Hello. Starting with our Reds.

0:30:300:30:32

Penny and Pat, you're working at the moment

0:30:320:30:35

but you've got great plans for your retirement.

0:30:350:30:37

Yes, in two years' time, I plan to retire and I'm going to buy

0:30:370:30:41

a Dutch barge and cruise down through Europe into the Med.

0:30:410:30:44

-Have you got a boat at the moment?

-Yes, we do. This is our fifth boat.

0:30:440:30:47

But the first boat we ever bought,

0:30:470:30:49

we'd never, neither of us, driven a boat in our lives.

0:30:490:30:51

Didn't even know how to start, stop or anything

0:30:510:30:54

and we had to ring the bloke up to tell us how to do it.

0:30:540:30:57

-Pat, you don't mind getting wet, do you?

-No, I love getting wet.

0:30:570:31:00

I'm a diver. I first started when I was 53 and I love it.

0:31:000:31:07

-So you've dived in some amazing places?

-I have.

0:31:070:31:09

I've dived all over the world.

0:31:090:31:11

I've dived Malta, Egypt,

0:31:110:31:14

-but I think my best dive was in England, which is surprising.

-Yes!

0:31:140:31:17

But it was down in Cornwall and it was a beautiful dive.

0:31:170:31:20

She took me into this cave,

0:31:200:31:22

all jewelled anemones on the top of the cave.

0:31:220:31:24

-It was fantastic, absolutely brilliant.

-Fantastic.

0:31:240:31:28

-So, any tactics?

-Ooh, yes.

0:31:280:31:30

-I'm going to find something I like.

-I'm going to find something

-I

-like.

0:31:300:31:33

-Then we're going to buy something that's got profit in it.

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:31:330:31:36

All right. Now, that's a very interesting tactic,

0:31:360:31:39

but I'm going to turn my attention to the gentlemen.

0:31:390:31:42

-It's Michael and Harry, and you're friends.

-Yeah.

-We are.

0:31:420:31:46

But I know for a fact there was a time

0:31:460:31:48

you were anything BUT friends. In fact, you were rivals.

0:31:480:31:51

Yeah, we were.

0:31:510:31:52

This is my arch-nemesis, playing for rival football teams.

0:31:520:31:55

We had matches abandoned against each other for dirty tackles.

0:31:550:32:00

-His dad was the referee.

-Oh, no!

0:32:000:32:01

He pulled his team off the pitch.

0:32:010:32:03

In the end, we signed for the same football team.

0:32:030:32:06

I didn't speak to him for about a month, then he cracked a joke

0:32:060:32:10

and I broke and I laughed and started speaking to him

0:32:100:32:13

-and ever since then, like a house on fire.

-The rest is history.

0:32:130:32:17

So, Harry, I believe you're bit of a whizz

0:32:170:32:21

when it comes to doing deals, etc,

0:32:210:32:23

cos you use an interesting method at which you excel.

0:32:230:32:27

Yeah, we use rock, paper, scissors to settle a lot of stuff.

0:32:270:32:32

-If I remember rightly, it's... TOGETHER:

-One, two, three.

0:32:320:32:35

-Yeah, so rock beats scissors.

-Rock beats scissors, does it? Right, OK.

0:32:350:32:40

When we're all in the pub, it's a bit of banter

0:32:400:32:43

to see who gets the next round,

0:32:430:32:44

so it's like, try and get a few free drinks out of my mates.

0:32:440:32:47

Basically, I will play for the next round and I've got a running joke

0:32:470:32:51

where 85% of the time, I always go rock,

0:32:510:32:53

so I get in their head a bit so they think I'll go rock,

0:32:530:32:56

I go scissors and I just keep beating them.

0:32:560:32:58

It's like taking candy off a baby, really.

0:32:580:33:00

That might come in useful.

0:33:000:33:01

-What about you, Michael? What's your plan of attack?

-Just go big.

0:33:010:33:04

-Go big or go home. Win or bust.

-Yeah?

0:33:040:33:08

-All eggs, one basket.

-All eggs, one basket.

0:33:080:33:12

Well, all eggs, one basket, one life, one Bargain Hunt, I suppose.

0:33:120:33:16

-We're only here once.

-OK, so let me give you the money.

0:33:160:33:20

£300 each team. Go and shop till you drop and off you go.

0:33:200:33:25

So this is a game of tactics, tactics, tactics.

0:33:250:33:28

-You excited, guys?

-Yes, very.

-Yeah.

0:33:350:33:37

-Going to be spending?

-All of it.

0:33:370:33:39

What are we going to buy today?

0:33:390:33:41

I'd like something owls or certainly animal related.

0:33:410:33:44

Anything that catches my eye. Something unusual.

0:33:440:33:47

I'd like something nautical but maybe a nice bit of silver.

0:33:470:33:52

Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.

0:33:520:33:56

ALARM CLOCK RINGS

0:33:560:33:57

I think I know where we'll start.

0:33:570:33:59

Come on then, let's go and see some silver.

0:33:590:34:01

These first few minutes are a golden opportunity to have a nose around

0:34:010:34:05

-but the Reds are diving straight in.

-I like the toadstools.

0:34:050:34:08

-Yeah, they are metal.

-They certainly are. Hand-crafted.

0:34:080:34:12

Oh, I like them! "Tattoos removed."

0:34:120:34:15

I like them, they're good.

0:34:150:34:17

-THEY LAUGH

-They are very good.

-They are funky!

0:34:170:34:19

-These are not... They're vintage saws.

-The saws are old, yeah.

0:34:190:34:25

The saws are old, the decoration is "later". Later.

0:34:250:34:29

-But, hey, they are fun, aren't they?

-Catch your eye, don't they?

0:34:290:34:33

They do and they make you smile. I think that's very important.

0:34:330:34:37

-Yes.

-They would be quite interesting.

0:34:370:34:40

Now, we've got the smaller ones here.

0:34:400:34:42

-There's a bigger one over there, which I like.

-I didn't see that one.

0:34:420:34:44

If you're going to go for one,

0:34:440:34:46

-you'd better go for the grandfather of tattoo removals.

-Yes.

0:34:460:34:51

So I guess the saw could be 40 or 50 years old.

0:34:510:34:56

-It might even be a bit older.

-Yeah.

0:34:560:34:58

And the decoration could even be done by the owner.

0:34:580:35:01

-Probably, cos they all look the same, don't they?

-They do indeed.

0:35:010:35:03

So shall we find out how much they want? Would you like to go and ask?

0:35:030:35:07

-I'll go and ask.

-Go on, then.

0:35:070:35:08

That would get rid of your "I love Mum" tattoo.

0:35:080:35:11

Could you tell us how much the saws are, please?

0:35:110:35:13

The small ones are £15, the large one is £30.

0:35:130:35:17

-Shall we go for that one?

-£30, OK.

-Is that your best price?

0:35:170:35:21

That is, I'm afraid. That is.

0:35:210:35:23

-PENNY:

-I think...

-Do you like that?

-Yeah.

0:35:230:35:26

-I like that.

-I like that.

-I think it's a bit of fun.

-I like that.

0:35:260:35:29

-It's funny.

-In that case, we'd like to buy it.

-We'll buy it.

0:35:290:35:31

We're sold. Thank you very much.

0:35:310:35:33

Blimey, Reds, that could be the fastest deal

0:35:330:35:35

in Bargain Hunt history!

0:35:350:35:36

A minute, come on, and we're 1-0 up.

0:35:360:35:38

This is a result. I like that. Excellent!

0:35:380:35:40

I'm very keen to see how that saw does at the auction.

0:35:400:35:43

Over to the Blues, and Charlie is sticking to the shopping list.

0:35:430:35:47

-What did you say you wanted to buy?

-Silver.

-Silver.

0:35:490:35:51

Well, there must be 100 or 200 pieces of silver here.

0:35:510:35:55

-What about these that are in a pair?

-The salts?

-Salts.

-They're nice.

0:35:550:35:59

-They're fairly standard.

-OK.

-It would be nice for you

0:35:590:36:02

to find something that perhaps you haven't seen before.

0:36:020:36:05

Time to take a look at something else, then.

0:36:050:36:08

-The Reds are now trawling the stalls for item number two.

-Richard.

-Yeah.

0:36:090:36:14

Would that be original whale bone or something else?

0:36:140:36:17

No, that would be a copy of a scrimshawed whale tooth.

0:36:170:36:23

-It was probably made in the last few years.

-Yeah.

0:36:230:36:25

-The original would be worth probably thousands.

-Thousands.

0:36:250:36:30

OK, teams, you have just hit the ten-minute mark.

0:36:300:36:33

Found anything, Blues?

0:36:330:36:34

-Ship's wheel.

-Yeah.

-They're very "sailable".

-Oh!

-Allow me.

0:36:340:36:38

Oh, dear, I think there's more where that came from.

0:36:380:36:41

Look at that!

0:36:410:36:43

It looks like you're having a "wheely" good time there, mate.

0:36:430:36:46

-Oh... I'm not...

-Oh, no, I can't bear it.

-Oh...

0:36:460:36:50

I'm trying to "steer" him in the right direction.

0:36:500:36:52

Oh, keep going, keep going!

0:36:520:36:54

No, please, that's more than enough!

0:36:540:36:56

-That's a fabulous old ship's wheel.

-Isn't it?

0:36:560:36:58

And I should think that's about 1900 in date.

0:36:580:37:03

-I know you want to spend big, boys.

-But we haven't probably got enough.

0:37:030:37:07

-Do you know how much this is?

-A lot more...

-Have a guess?

0:37:070:37:10

-I did say £120, but I think more than that.

-I think...

-£300.

0:37:100:37:15

-I thought about £100.

-About £100.

0:37:150:37:17

-This is £350.

-Ooh.

0:37:170:37:19

That's sunk their hopes of buying it

0:37:190:37:21

but I think these boys won't be rushed into anything,

0:37:210:37:25

despite Charlie's efforts.

0:37:250:37:26

Anyway, it's plain sailing for Mr Madley, though.

0:37:260:37:29

Ooh, yeah, it does fit into your nautical theme.

0:37:290:37:33

That would be the name of the ship.

0:37:330:37:35

-And that's probably when it first launched.

-How does it sound?

0:37:350:37:38

HE CHUCKLES

0:37:380:37:40

BELL RINGS CLEARLY

0:37:400:37:41

It works.

0:37:410:37:43

Shall we just enquire as to how much it is?

0:37:430:37:45

-We haven't got to...

-No, we can come back to it.

-It could be a bargain.

0:37:450:37:49

Exactly, we can still come back. Let's go and ask the owner.

0:37:490:37:52

The ship's bell. A price for it, please.

0:37:530:37:56

-Best on the ship's bell, £120.

-£120.

0:37:560:38:00

That's going to be about its top level for an auction.

0:38:000:38:03

-I think that will be its price.

-Yeah.

0:38:030:38:06

Yeah, I think it's a fair price.

0:38:060:38:07

-It's a fair price but it's the top level.

-Exactly.

0:38:070:38:09

What's the best price?

0:38:090:38:11

-The very best price is £100.

-£95?

0:38:110:38:15

-It's tight, but we'll do it.

-Thank you very much.

0:38:160:38:19

ERIC: What a gentleman!

0:38:190:38:20

The deal has been done. The hands have been shaken. We're out of this!

0:38:200:38:24

THEY LAUGH

0:38:240:38:25

-She wanted a bell.

-She wanted it.

-She wanted nautical.

0:38:250:38:27

-I've always wanted a ship's bell.

-Not a lot of choice.

0:38:270:38:30

-Yeah, always wanted a ship's bell.

-We wanted something nautical.

0:38:300:38:32

Now all I want is a ship that goes with it.

0:38:320:38:35

That will cost you a lot more than £95, Penny.

0:38:350:38:38

Right, that's it.

0:38:380:38:40

2-0 up, 20 minutes down, 40 minutes to go.

0:38:400:38:43

You can take it easy then, Reds. It's the Blues I'm worried about.

0:38:430:38:47

-Not having much luck, are we?

-No.

0:38:470:38:50

-Seen a few things.

-In a nutshell.

0:38:500:38:52

Hopefully, Lady Luck will cross your path soon.

0:38:520:38:55

With under 30 minutes left on the clock,

0:38:550:38:57

the Blues are yet to splash any cash.

0:38:570:39:00

Was I really put on this planet to be made this harassed?

0:39:000:39:03

35 minutes with two delightful guys

0:39:030:39:06

who have not a clue what they want to buy.

0:39:060:39:09

Seen a few items and then there's always other bargains out there.

0:39:090:39:12

I'm not sure they want to buy anything at all!

0:39:120:39:15

I don't know what we're going to do.

0:39:150:39:16

-I'm not going to sweat yet.

-Yeah.

0:39:160:39:18

Glad you're feeling relaxed, boys.

0:39:180:39:21

I can't say the same for poor old Charlie.

0:39:210:39:25

What do you think of that, guys?

0:39:250:39:26

It's beautifully inlaid with olivewood and satinwood and boxwood.

0:39:260:39:31

It has an enamel dial which has no damage.

0:39:310:39:34

Opens at the top. You can see here there was a maker's name on there.

0:39:360:39:41

Now, I suspect that the movement is French-made

0:39:410:39:44

but, again, made for export but put into an English case.

0:39:440:39:48

-This was 80 quid, wasn't it?

-Yeah.

0:39:480:39:50

And I think that is a handsome clock.

0:39:500:39:55

I can tell that neither of you like it, do you?

0:39:550:39:58

I don't think they do, Rosco.

0:39:580:39:59

-VENDOR:

-Tomorrow that will be £120.

0:39:590:40:01

We weren't planning to be here then,

0:40:010:40:03

but it could take this lot that long to buy something.

0:40:030:40:06

People often ask me what I collect and they're often surprised.

0:40:070:40:13

-Globes.

-Globes.

0:40:130:40:15

I've been buying these globes probably for the last ten years.

0:40:150:40:19

I've got about 50 of them. For years, my wife said,

0:40:190:40:23

"What on earth are we going to do with those?"

0:40:230:40:25

Then when we moved house, we had a unit, a bookcase unit,

0:40:250:40:30

and we filled it with globes.

0:40:300:40:32

-Different-sized globes.

-And they look great.

0:40:320:40:35

But I don't think your team are keen, Richard. Back to the Blues.

0:40:350:40:39

Has something finally got their attention?

0:40:390:40:41

-VENDOR:

-Hi, guys, I've got a radio here.

0:40:410:40:43

I'm worried about the lack of expert supervision here.

0:40:430:40:46

Original box?

0:40:460:40:47

It's in its original box. 1950s. Perfect working order.

0:40:470:40:50

-That's all right.

-No cracks. £60.

0:40:500:40:54

We've only got £45.

0:40:540:40:56

That's a naughty fib.

0:40:560:40:58

You've still got £300 in your pocket.

0:40:580:41:00

I can't do it for £45, though.

0:41:000:41:02

-What's your best price?

-£55.

-£50.

0:41:020:41:07

-Meet you in the middle.

-£50.

0:41:070:41:09

-Do you want it?

-Yeah, I'm happy with that. I'm happy with that, yeah.

0:41:090:41:13

Do you think you should have asked Charlie

0:41:130:41:15

before shaking this man's hand?

0:41:150:41:17

-CHARLIE:

-What have you found, guys?

0:41:170:41:18

-We've just bought a radio.

-Have you bought a radio?

0:41:180:41:20

-We thought we don't really need you.

-Brilliant! A Bush radio!

0:41:200:41:24

-Of course we need you!

-How much was it?

-£50.

0:41:240:41:26

-VENDOR:

-In its original box.

-CHARLIE:

-You haven't bought it?

0:41:260:41:29

-Sharpen up, guys!

-Yeah, yeah.

0:41:290:41:31

-May I look at it, sir?

-VENDOR:

-You certainly can.

0:41:310:41:34

-Tell us what we've bought.

-I'll tell you what you bought.

0:41:340:41:39

-You've bought a 1950s...

-VENDOR:

-'57.

0:41:390:41:42

-CHARLIE:

-Was it '57?

-Is it £50-worth?

0:41:420:41:45

-VENDOR:

-In its original box.

-CHARLIE:

-God, it's fab!

0:41:450:41:48

This is the sort of radio I used to have at home.

0:41:480:41:51

-VENDOR:

-It works. It's out of my own private collection.

0:41:510:41:54

-CHARLIE:

-If you put that on, you'll get the news from the war.

0:41:540:41:58

-VENDOR:

-You'll double your money on that.

0:41:580:42:00

-CHARLIE:

-It's wonderful. It's in amazing condition.

0:42:000:42:02

-VENDOR:

-It's out of my own private collection.

0:42:020:42:04

But is it worth £50?

0:42:040:42:06

I have to say it's not a bad starting price.

0:42:060:42:08

But they shook on £50.

0:42:080:42:10

Although maybe Harry could use his special talent to get a lower price.

0:42:100:42:14

-Might we do £40 or £60, rock, paper, scissors?

-I can't.

-You can't.

0:42:140:42:18

-It's got to be £50.

-But it could be £60 if you win.

0:42:180:42:21

-CHARLIE:

-Have you ever played rock, paper, scissors?

0:42:210:42:23

-VENDOR:

-Yes.

0:42:230:42:24

If you win, we'll buy it for £60, if you lose, we'll buy it for £40.

0:42:240:42:28

That's quite fun, isn't it? I'd like to witness this.

0:42:280:42:31

-VENDOR:

-Go on.

-CHARLIE:

-Go on! Love it!

0:42:310:42:33

I'm scared to watch as well, Michael.

0:42:330:42:35

-TOGETHER:

-One, two, three.

0:42:350:42:37

One, two, three.

0:42:370:42:39

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:42:390:42:42

Harry told me rock always wins, so the Blues get the radio for £40.

0:42:420:42:48

Just two buys to get in the final 15 minutes, then.

0:42:480:42:51

The Reds only need one.

0:42:510:42:53

What have you seen there?

0:42:530:42:54

-A Doulton figurine?

-Yeah.

-Young man.

0:42:550:42:59

-Fishing? No, cooking his fish.

-Cooking his fish.

0:43:000:43:03

With an HN number.

0:43:030:43:05

Now, the HN number will tell you when it was produced

0:43:050:43:09

and, ultimately, the lower the HN number the earlier it is

0:43:090:43:13

and the more valuable it is. What I'm most concerned about is...

0:43:130:43:16

-Damage or whether it's been repaired.

-Exactly.

0:43:160:43:19

-We want to check...

-Felt round his head.

0:43:190:43:21

Check the extremities, that's the important thing.

0:43:210:43:23

-Around his head here.

-And his fingers.

-And around his frying pan.

0:43:230:43:28

He seems to be in good shape to me.

0:43:280:43:30

-Now, I don't think he's particularly old.

-No.

-But that doesn't matter.

0:43:300:43:35

It's a collector's market.

0:43:350:43:38

He is rather charming.

0:43:380:43:39

Now, he's got a price on of £48.

0:43:400:43:43

I was thinking more like £25, £30.

0:43:430:43:46

-Oh, were you?

-Yeah.

-Right, indeed.

0:43:460:43:49

Do you think it might be worth me

0:43:490:43:50

-asking the owner what his friendliest price might be?

-Yeah.

0:43:500:43:55

While Richard has a word, Charlie needs the boys to step up a gear.

0:43:550:44:00

Come on, guys. We want a bit of action. Come on, guys. Come on.

0:44:000:44:03

You've got ten minutes to get two lots!

0:44:030:44:07

Now, any news on the figurine?

0:44:070:44:09

Right, well, I've been to ask the dealer

0:44:090:44:11

what he said the best price he'd do on it.

0:44:110:44:13

It's marked at £48. He'll give us a discount down to £40.

0:44:130:44:18

As much as I do like it, I would love to get it just under that

0:44:180:44:23

if I could. Do you think that...?

0:44:230:44:25

Well, I think I've taken it as far as I can.

0:44:250:44:28

-If you think you can just shave him a couple of pounds...

-So, you stay.

0:44:280:44:32

-..without risking losing the sale.

-Yeah.

-Let's leave it with you.

-OK.

0:44:320:44:37

Good luck, Penny - although I think Rosco needs it more.

0:44:370:44:40

Look, a bit of militaria here. See that old case?

0:44:410:44:45

It's got a strap there to put it on your belt. And what is it?

0:44:450:44:49

First World War compass, I think.

0:44:490:44:52

And in working order...

0:44:520:44:53

..and intact, too. It doesn't appear to be damaged.

0:44:550:44:58

Quite an interesting piece of history.

0:44:580:45:00

-Excuse me, sir. How much is your military compass?

-VENDOR: £55.

0:45:000:45:04

-We have got about five minutes left.

-40 quid.

0:45:040:45:06

-40 quid.

-VENDOR: All right, 40 quid.

-Yeah, 40 quid.

0:45:060:45:10

-Are you happy?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Go on, buy it! Buy it!

0:45:100:45:14

You may have got your second buy but there's no time to waste.

0:45:160:45:19

You've five minutes and counting. Try and keep up.

0:45:190:45:22

No need for Penny to run. Looks like she's done a deal.

0:45:220:45:25

-£38.

-£38!

-Well done.

0:45:250:45:27

-Well done. Excellent.

-That's our third item.

-We're there.

0:45:270:45:31

-I'm happy.

-Third item, over, done and sold. Fantastic.

-Well done.

0:45:310:45:36

-You're happy?

-Really happy.

-You're happy?

-Very.

-I'm happy.

0:45:360:45:39

-How about a nice cup of tea?

-How about let's go to the pub?

0:45:390:45:42

All right, the pub!

0:45:420:45:43

THEY LAUGH

0:45:430:45:45

I know Charlie will need a drink after all this sprinting!

0:45:450:45:48

The boys not so much.

0:45:500:45:51

And with time nearly up, I think Rosco's come back for the clock.

0:45:510:45:54

Oh, glad to see you've turned up, boys. Don't bust a gut.

0:45:540:45:59

-Don't rush yourselves.

-A wizard arrives precisely when he means to.

0:45:590:46:03

Now, you're going to see a master at work here. This was £80, wasn't it?

0:46:030:46:08

-Yes.

-But you'll take £70 off me cos you've known me so long.

-No, sir.

0:46:080:46:12

-£75 and we've got a deal.

-Done.

0:46:120:46:15

-That was a bit sharp.

-Cheers.

-To say I'm relieved is an understatement.

0:46:160:46:21

ALARM CLOCK RINGS

0:46:210:46:23

Teams, your 60 minutes are up.

0:46:230:46:25

Such a nerve-racking hour in my life with you two.

0:46:250:46:28

-You are cool dudes, aren't you?

-I've been pretty laidback.

-Yeah.

0:46:280:46:31

-PRETTY laidback? Nevertheless...

-But we got there in the end.

0:46:310:46:35

Yes, you got there, but now we need to be off again.

0:46:350:46:38

We are going back to the auction to sell our items.

0:46:380:46:41

But first, let's have a reminder of what the Red team bought.

0:46:410:46:44

I'm hoping this is going to be used as advertised. £30 paid.

0:46:450:46:50

The ship's bell was £95,

0:46:520:46:55

but will it leave the ladies drowning in a profit?

0:46:550:46:59

And the River Boy figurine from Royal Doulton was theirs for £38.

0:46:590:47:04

Let's hope it makes a splash at the auction.

0:47:040:47:07

Well, Penny and Pat,

0:47:070:47:08

you went out there and you've gone and spent £163.

0:47:080:47:11

But that left Mr Richard Madeley here

0:47:110:47:14

with the best part of £137 to spend.

0:47:140:47:18

Richard, you boldly went and bought what?

0:47:180:47:22

I went a long way from here. I went to....

0:47:220:47:25

..China.

0:47:250:47:27

A Chinese double gourd sang de boeuf vase.

0:47:270:47:32

Sounds very posh. Double gourd. Two nuts.

0:47:320:47:35

Sang de boeuf, that blood red.

0:47:350:47:37

And underneath, the mark.

0:47:370:47:40

The Chien Lung period.

0:47:400:47:41

So an 18th century mark.

0:47:410:47:43

But don't believe all that you see.

0:47:430:47:46

-No.

-No.

0:47:460:47:48

So, it's later. And it will tell you, it's a lot later.

0:47:480:47:51

-But...

-How much is it worth?

0:47:510:47:53

-I gave £30 for it.

-Ah, yes. We'd go with that.

-Yes.

0:47:530:47:56

Well, don't be too quick to decide, Reds.

0:47:560:47:59

You have until after your third item has sold.

0:47:590:48:01

But now, let's have a look at the Blue team's three items.

0:48:010:48:05

Harry conquered the dealer at rock, paper, scissors

0:48:060:48:09

to get a decent discount on this 1950s radio. £40 paid.

0:48:090:48:14

The boys lacked direction during their shop,

0:48:160:48:19

so maybe they should have bought one of these a bit earlier.

0:48:190:48:23

The brass compass was £40.

0:48:230:48:25

And time had nearly run out

0:48:250:48:27

when the team paid £75 for this Victorian clock.

0:48:270:48:31

Let's hope it hands them a profit when it goes under the hammer.

0:48:310:48:34

So, the Blue team, yes, Michael and Harry.

0:48:340:48:37

I see that you spent £155

0:48:370:48:40

and, Charlie, you had the princely sum of £145 to go out and spend.

0:48:400:48:44

-I did.

-And what did you come up with?

0:48:440:48:46

To be perfectly honest, I was so terrified by these two boys.

0:48:460:48:49

They are so confident they are going to win a golden gavel,

0:48:490:48:52

-I thought, "I don't want to ruin this for them."

-No.

0:48:520:48:55

-I just thought one word.

-Yes.

-"Profit."

-OK.

0:48:550:49:00

It's a cheroot holder case.

0:49:000:49:03

This is probably a male one.

0:49:030:49:05

This would have been an amber holder, probably,

0:49:050:49:07

into which you put your cheroot.

0:49:070:49:09

It's solid silver, it's Birmingham, it's 1916

0:49:090:49:13

and, I have to say, it wasn't overly expensive.

0:49:130:49:16

-What's it worth, guys?

-20 quid?

-20 quid?

0:49:160:49:19

-Paid 15!

-That's a bargain.

0:49:190:49:22

-All right, boys, what do you think of it?

-I'm a fan.

0:49:220:49:25

I think £15's a steal and I think it will make profit.

0:49:250:49:28

It fits the mould of getting profit off every item, definitely.

0:49:280:49:31

If you don't go with this bonus buy, you are bonkers!

0:56:410:56:45

But having said that, the good news for both you teams

0:56:450:56:48

-is you're both going home with money!

-Yes!

0:56:480:56:50

Yes, you are both in profit.

0:56:500:56:53

The bad news for one team is the team making the least profit,

0:56:530:56:57

coming in at number two, just happens to be...

0:56:570:57:02

-..the Reds. ALL:

-Oh!

0:57:020:57:04

Well, ladies, you did give it your best

0:57:040:57:07

and we can't ask for more than that from you.

0:57:070:57:10

The ship's bell, that really let you down.

0:57:100:57:13

So, don't spend it all at once, ladies. There is a profit of £32.

0:57:130:57:18

-Not to be scoffed at.

-No.

-Well done.

0:57:180:57:22

But all things being equal, boys,

0:57:220:57:24

I feel I'm having an out-of-body experience

0:57:240:57:26

telling you that you've won.

0:57:260:57:28

I'm not being unkind but you just got it right, didn't you?

0:57:280:57:32

-You got it right. But you had...

-We had a bit of help.

-..this man,

0:57:320:57:36

this man who is a legend in certain parts of Bicester.

0:57:360:57:40

LAUGHTER

0:57:400:57:42

When it comes to profit, you are walking away, gentlemen,

0:57:420:57:46

with a very acceptable £65.

0:57:460:57:50

So, all things being equal...

0:57:500:57:52

Yes, I think they're worth a bit of applause there.

0:57:520:57:55

-You've all had fun, yes? ALL:

-Yes.

-Excellent.

0:57:550:57:57

We hope you people at home have also had fun.
