0:00:02 > 0:00:04We're at the East of England Showground
0:00:04 > 0:00:06and I'm in the driving seat today.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08MUSIC: Water Music, Suite No.2 by Handel
0:00:08 > 0:00:12Sir Henry Royce, the man behind this superb Rolls-Royce, was born
0:00:12 > 0:00:16here in Peterborough. So, with that in mind, let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Henry Royce formed a fantastic partnership with
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Charles Stewart Rolls.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52And that's what we need on Bargain Hunt, successful partnerships.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55So, let's take a little sneaky peek
0:00:55 > 0:00:59at the journey ahead.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02On today's show, the old ones are the best for the Reds.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- I like the old one.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Probably because we're of similar age!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08THEY LAUGH
0:01:08 > 0:01:11And the Blues have expensive tastes.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- That is beautiful.- A beautiful thing. Out of budget. Put it back.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- OK.- Well done.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19But just who will come out on top at the auction?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Ooh! The excitement of it all.- £35.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Equal! That's all for later.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28We've got four lovely ladies here today.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32For the Reds, we have a mum and daughter team, Amelia and Rosie.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36And for the Blues, we have two great friends, Amy and Rebecca.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37- Hello, everyone.- Hello.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Now, Amelia, you work in sales. Does that mean
0:01:39 > 0:01:41you're going to be driving a hard bargain?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43I do like a good haggle, so I'll certainly try
0:01:43 > 0:01:44my best to drive a hard bargain.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- What sort of sales are you involved with?- Software,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- for a software company that I work in.- I don't understand software.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Let's move on.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Now, Rosie. You're a retired customer services rep, aren't you?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- I am. - Any good at antiques?
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Well, I used to have a collection of nearly 150 teapots but they were
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- too much dusting, so they had to go! - You kept your best ones, did you?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I have a 1760 blue and white from
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- the Dutch royal house from 1760. - How fantastic.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Who's going to be in charge today? AMELIA:- I'm always in charge.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- ROSIE:- As I've said, I always do what I'm told.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Isn't that true with all mothers and daughters?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21The daughter is always in charge. And what about tactics?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Well, if we don't fall out, we might do well.- Have you ever fallen out?
0:02:25 > 0:02:26- Never.- Daily!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28And on that note,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- off to the Blues. We have great friends Amy and Rebecca.- Hello.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- You're both police officers? Is that how you met?- Yeah.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I joined the police force ten years ago
0:02:38 > 0:02:42and Rebecca was already a police officer on the shift that I joined.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45What's your specific role in the police force?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I work in neighbour policing, and Amy's a detective.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- You're a detective?- I am, yeah.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- So you're quite intellectual, are you?- I'd like to think so.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Most of the time.- Now, Rebecca, when you're not on the beat, what do you like doing?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Well, most of my time is spent with my children, to be honest,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03which I enjoy doing, and spending time with them,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- and taking them places.- Marvellous.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Now, going on to the antiques. What do you like?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I like perfume, so I like the perfume bottles.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I've got 15 perfumes on the go at the moment,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and I'll probably keep about five of them bottles.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- 15 perfumes on the go?- I like to have a nice choice in the morning,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21when I get up. What do I want to smell like? So...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Hang on. Hang on. Oh, I like today's.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26What about you, Rebecca?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- I don't know too much about antiques...- Good start!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31..but I like a good nosy round the shops.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I don't live that far from Lovejoy country,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36so there's lots of antiques round that way. So I like to have a look.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- I like jewellery, I like fashion. - Lots of things?- Yeah.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42So, who's going to be captain of the team?
0:03:42 > 0:03:43- Probably Amy.- Me.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- Who's going to be superintendent? - Probably me.- You?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Now, if you're going to go shopping, girls, what will you need?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- ALL:- Money! - Absolutely, and I've got it.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- I've got 300 smackers for you, girls.- Thank you very much.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00And superintendent, I have £300 for you.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01- Thank you.- Off you go.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Shop away! I think this looks like being an absolute belter!
0:04:06 > 0:04:11We have two select experts helping two sets of Reds and Blues today.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16Hoping to put the P into profit for the Reds, it's Philip Serrell.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19And she won't be lounging around for long.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21It's Christina Trevanion for the Blues.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- So, what are we looking for? Amy? - Something small and pretty, I think.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26A perfume bottle, maybe.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Right, because you're a bit of a perfume fan, aren't you?- Yes.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31For me, it's not anything specific.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I know what I like, so if something catches my eye that's a bit
0:04:33 > 0:04:38- different...- What do you like? - I like military items, I like
0:04:38 > 0:04:39- vintage items, clothing.- Yep.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- So,- what do you think? Jewellery, silverware. Something a bit quirky!
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Girls after my own heart! I love it.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Is there a plan?- Well, we'll have to see what we like, I think.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Quirky, maybe, and a bit different.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Right, teams. Your time starts now...
0:04:56 > 0:04:58BELL DINGS ..and they're off.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- Come on. Let's get going.- Let's go!
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Let's see if we can find a modest Ferrari, or something.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Good luck with that.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13'Ello, 'ello, 'ello. What have we here, then?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Oh, there's a little policeman!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Hey, this looks like a really quirky shop, doesn't it?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- And the police sign over there. - Where's that?- Just there.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Oh, yeah! Very appropriate.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25A bit of a police sign going on.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27So, what would that have gone on originally?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Maybe a fence, or something?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- VENDOR: Back of a motorbike. - Back of a motorbike.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- A police motorbike? - That's pretty cool though, isn't it?
0:05:34 > 0:05:35The blue is very fitting.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Maybe we could take these off and make it a necklace.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- I'm going to continue looking if that's all right.- OK. fair enough.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43A wise decision, I think, Blues.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Now, Reds, are you about to clean up with your first item?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Do you mind me enquiring about these suitcases?- Yeah?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Do you know about them?- They're not suitcases, more boxes, aren't they?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- Boxes.- They are laundry cases, So, when people would
0:05:54 > 0:05:57take their laundry to Wolverhampton,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59that's how they would get it back.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Apparently, in 1890s, 1900s,
0:06:01 > 0:06:05it was the biggest place that employed women in England.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Oh, right. So there's a bit of history to it, really?- That's right.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10That's what they're most known for.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14And are they coming as a package?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16You could have them separate if you like.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- What are you talking about, price-wise?- £35 each.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- Can I just say something to you?- Go on, then.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25If you look at those, the one at the front looks to me
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- like it's quite cool, 1950s, early- '60s. The other one's modern.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33- The other one is 1980s. I like the old one.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Probably because we're of similar age.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Speak for yourself, please!
0:06:37 > 0:06:40But I think that's a quite a cool thing, though.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- People like them for displays, decor.- Can we have a look at this?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Any holes in it, or bumps, or... - You're welcome to have a look.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51What's the very, very best on it? This is the painful bit.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54I know, very, very painful. £30?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57See, that was said as though it was a question, wasn't it?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Not a statement. - I was trying to be very polite.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Well, you'll probably say no to £20, will you?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- I will say no to £20, I'm afraid. - Would you meet halfway, though?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- That's what I was going to say. £25?- £25?
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Have a look. Have a look,
0:07:09 > 0:07:13and make sure you're actually happy with it before you agree on a price.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Right, let's just have a look. As I say, what we're looking at here
0:07:16 > 0:07:20is a very expensive cardboard box.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- That's about what it is.- Has it got any dates on it?- 1951.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- You were spot on!- Yeah.- Yeah, we'd like to take that, please.- Yeah?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- 25, is that all right?- That's fine. - Thank you, very much.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- Good luck with it.- Thank you!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36So, that's one box for the Reds
0:07:36 > 0:07:39and it looks like the Blues have found a box of their own.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Want to have a look at this? Christina?- What's that, darling?
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- Altrincham Police, 1936.- Oh, wow. How appropriate.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I'm not entirely sure what it would have been used for.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Perhaps a notebook? And some...
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I'm really surprised that you've just taken the cover...
0:07:56 > 0:07:57I would have expected a hinged lid.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Really beautiful oak box, which possibly would have been...
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I mean, there's still a card in there,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05but I would have said it probably would have been a cigar box,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07because it's obviously a presentation piece.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09You've got this lovely shield on the front here,
0:08:09 > 0:08:10which has been engraved.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Altrincham Police, 1936.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14So, 1936, just coming towards
0:08:14 > 0:08:17the end of the Art Deco period, and we can see that by its form,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20if you look at that lovely chamfered top on there.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Now, any moulding missing, if you have a good look around it?- No.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29- OK. How much is that? - I've got £45 on it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I think, really, if you want to make a profit on it, you want to be
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- nudging it towards the £20 region. - Would you take £20 for it?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Definitely not.- What's the best price you could do us?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40The best price for me or the best price for you?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- The best price for us? - The best price for you,
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- probably £30.- Meet us in the middle at £25.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50- Could we just nudge you that £5 less?- Ooh. The pain.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- You are pushing, but you have a deal.- Thank you, very much.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Have we just bought something?- Yeah!
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Well done, girls. Speedy Gonzales.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I'm going to have to watch you two, I can tell.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- Right, let's go.- OK.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Speedy indeed. And for just £25.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Now, both teams have ticked a box, quite literally.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13So, it's one apiece with just over ten minutes on the clock.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Well, Reds. What's next?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I think we should look for something
0:09:18 > 0:09:21different, and this is certainly different.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- I'm not too sure I know what it is. - I was about to say,
0:09:23 > 0:09:24do you know what it is?
0:09:24 > 0:09:28It's got Eton College here, 1927 football club.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29All the players.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31ECFC? EC...?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Eton College?- Eton, maybe? - That would be nice, wouldn't it?
0:09:34 > 0:09:35All those names.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Well, it's got the wall game over here, so it probably must be.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- It's worth a risk, maybe.- So, if you buy this, what you do with it?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Oh, yeah.- Well, I think someone who's interested maybe has possibly
0:09:44 > 0:09:47been to Eton, or has contacts, or whatever, might be interested.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50What you don't want to be doing is buying a Doulton jug,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- that... Everybody can look up the price of a Doulton jug.- Yeah.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I've never seen anything like this in my life before,
0:09:55 > 0:09:57So, what's it worth? I haven't got a clue.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00It could be cheap at £150. It could be cheap at £50.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02It could be cheap at £300. I really, really don't know.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04But I think it's such fun.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- How much is this, please? - £150, sir.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11What's the absolute finish on it?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13It needs to clear £120. The best price.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- So, £120 is it.- Absolutely. - Can I ask you to do a favour for us?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Could you just hang onto it for us for about 35 minutes?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Yeah, that's fine.- Right. Let's go and have a think.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28CHARLIE: I'd keep that one in mind, then, Reds. Now, Blues.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Are you BOBBIN' along nicely?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32A sewing machine. Yeah.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34It's slightly difficult thing to sell at auction,
0:10:34 > 0:10:35to be perfectly honest.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38And they don't tend to sell for a huge amount of money.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Having said that, that is probably the most beautiful case
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- I've ever seen. And, darling, it's a Premier.- Premier.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47It's not just any old sewing machine, it's a Premier.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50No, it's nice that you've got this mother of pearl inlay on here.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53It's a lovely thing. How much have you got on your sewing machine?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56£75 because it's quite unusual and the case
0:10:56 > 0:10:58has been restored.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00What would be your very best price on it, Johnny?
0:11:00 > 0:11:05- To give me a small profit, £55.- £55.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07At auction you're probably looking at £30-£50.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- OK.- OK.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10- OK. What do you think?- No, then.- No?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Yeah, it's no.- Let's move on. Come on, girls.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Back on the beat, then, Blues.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20But with nearly 30 minutes left,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23you might need to turn on your blue lights.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26So, Reds, what's the plan?
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Now, then. Let's just take a bit of a rain check.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32We've bought the first lot.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35That case, which I thought was really, really lovely. I liked that.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37The "but" is, we've only got six minutes before that bloke
0:11:37 > 0:11:40puts his Eton College thing back on his floor,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43so, I think we need to decide, do we want that, or don't we?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- You like it, don't you?- I like it.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48It's that kill or cure thing.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I think it's a nice... I like it because you can't put a price on it.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53You know, that could make £50.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56It could make £200 and it could make anywhere between.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58But I think it's a fun thing.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00And I think the fact that you like it means to me that I'd buy it.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- And it's a bit different!- Yeah. - Maybe we should go for it, then.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Yeah, OK.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Go and seal the deal, then, Reds.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Hello? What has our detective sniffed out?
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Oh, look! Perfume bottles!
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- Now, who was the perfume fan?- Me. - Amy.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18So, we've got some perfume bottles here and if we look at construction
0:12:18 > 0:12:22of this, this is a moulded glass piece rather than
0:12:22 > 0:12:23a cut glass piece,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25so instantly it says to us that the
0:12:25 > 0:12:28quality isn't as good as it could be. OK.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30And the reason we can tell it's a moulded glass piece
0:12:30 > 0:12:32is that we've actually got a seam line down there.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35So that has been made in a mould, molten glass,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38pressed together in a mould and then that's how it's been made. OK.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- All right.- I don't like the look of it.- No. I don't.- OK. All right.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Let's move on.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46And the Reds are back for the Eton display cabinet.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Hello.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- Thank you.- You'll have that? - Yeah, we'll have them.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Thank you very much, indeed. - Pleasure.- We just bought them.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Thank you. Yay!- We'll be back later on.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Right, on to the next now, then. - Right on time.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Crumbs! No fuss with that buy. £120 for their second item.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- Maybe the Blues can smell a profit at this stall.- Right.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- That's really nice. - Heh. Look at this.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Oh, my goodness.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- AMY GASPS - It's got the little stopper thing.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Yeah.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17We've got a magic stopper. OK. So this,
0:13:17 > 0:13:19even just not having a really close look at it,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22the perfume bottle we were looking at before,
0:13:22 > 0:13:27it's kind of the bicycle of the perfume bottle world.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- This is the Rolls-Royce.- Is it?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31This is the piece de resistance.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Look at this fabulous decoration. I'd say it's got to be Victorian.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38And that cover there, engraved with a lily.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Language of flowers - Lily, I think, is for remembrance.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- Amy likes lilies. That's her favourite flower.- Ah!
0:13:45 > 0:13:46And solid silver again.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49We've got these hallmarks on here. Nice thing.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50What have we got on that?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Ooh!- What is it? What is it?
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- Did you want to spend big or spend small?- Spend small.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- What is it? Ooh.- £160.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Ouch!
0:14:01 > 0:14:03What would it make though? Do think it would make anything?
0:14:03 > 0:14:07You pay for quality and quality always sells.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I mean, at auction I would put it at maybe £80-120.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11It's a beautiful thing. But what do you think of it?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- I really like it.- I really like it. - What would be your
0:14:14 > 0:14:16very, very best price on that beautiful scent bottle,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18my darling?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Oh, she's looking cross.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23No, it's the sun!
0:14:23 > 0:14:25I'm bedazzled!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27How about £110?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Excellent! - Because I was going to ask her.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- CHRISTINA MUTTERS - OK!
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Oh, Blues. You can haggle better than that!
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Let's have a little chat about this, shall we?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41That's why she's the expert, and I know nothing.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44If we can try to nudge it under the £100,
0:14:44 > 0:14:45I'd be a very happy bunny.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Is there any, any, any chance we could nudge it
0:14:48 > 0:14:49under the hundred?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51£98.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52- £95.- £95.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- Come on, £95.- Brilliant. You're an angel.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Well done, Christina. Show them how it's done.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Perfume bottle got! Well done.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04And that, honestly, is the nicest perfume bottle I've ever seen.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Really?- It is beautiful.- Oh.- Well done, girls.- Yes!- Right. Come on.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Let's go.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13So, that's two in the bag with 20 minutes left on the clock.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- How are the Reds doing, Phil? - I think they've done really well.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Bought two bits early on. Decisive. Job's done.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Splendid.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Now, it looks like the Blues have got their hands on some silver.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- Now, that is rather splendid, isn't it?- It is. I do like that.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30That is beautiful.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Beautiful thing. Out of budget. Put it back.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Oh, lawks! You tell 'em, Christina.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- OK. So, if nothing floats your boat...- No.- ..what's our plan?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42We've only got ten minutes left and I'm feeling a little bit antsy.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I know. I know. I think, well, I haven't liked anything
0:15:45 > 0:15:47as much as I like the sewing machine.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- Ah. OK. The one we saw at the start?- With the box.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50I love the box, as well, with it.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53So, given that we've only got ten minutes, then let's go get it.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56That's very unusual. The sewing machine's floating your boat.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I know. Totally unlike me.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01I don't mend stuff and sew stuff, but I like it.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- OK. All right. Let's go. Let's hope it's still there.- Yeah.- Yes.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Off you go, then, Blues.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Now, Reds. You also need to bag your final item.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Is that a post office bag? - That's right.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14And most people think they are doctor's bags.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Gladstones, aren't they? - That's right.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22You can see this heavy lined leather interior. Nice and secure.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Nice and sturdy.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25After all these years, to get that.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Is that about 1950s?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- It would be earlier than '50s... - Yeah?
0:16:29 > 0:16:33..because you can tell by the actual fittings and the construction.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- You could use it as a handbag, couldn't you?- I could.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- I would, as well! - How much is it, that's the key?
0:16:38 > 0:16:42This wouldn't be out of the way at around about £75.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47- It's the "about" bit, isn't it?- Yes, yes. What would be your best price?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49If we were talking about cash and giving me
0:16:49 > 0:16:54- a little bit of profit, we'd be talking about 60.- OK.- About.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59- It's that would "about".- 55 or 60? - I was thinking 50.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04- It's too near to what it cost me. - 55?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08If it's going to help you,
0:17:08 > 0:17:13and you're definitely going to get more than 55.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17I'd love a pound for every time someone said that to me!
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- You really like that, don't you? - I really like it.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Really like it, but will we make any money?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26I think it'll make between probably £30 and £60.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- That would be the top end.- Yeah, but you like it, that's the issue.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- I do really like it.- What I think you should do, hang onto it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35This gentleman has nice things on his stall.
0:17:35 > 0:17:40Let's look at the rest of his stall. Hold on to it, don't let go.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Thanks very much.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47I wouldn't wait too long, Reds, time's ticking on.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Come on, girls, let's go, we're running out of time.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55So, Blues, put those blue lights on and sew up your final item.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00- Ah, I see it. It's still there. - Yes, it is.- Hello.- Back again.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02You've had a good scout around
0:18:02 > 0:18:04and obviously you've made a good decision.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Well, not as yet. - Would you take 40?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10I can't do that, I'm afraid. I would be making a loss.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- Obviously, I do have a few overhead costs myself.- Sure.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16What would your very best price be, Johnny?
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Well, it's going to be 50 because I paid the lady 45 for this, you see,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23and that just gives me a little contribution towards my costs.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- I'm trying to help you out as much as I can.- We appreciate that.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I think at 45, we stand a fighting chance
0:18:29 > 0:18:31and then you don't have to lug it home with you.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35And you've got space in the van to buy something else with that 45.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36It's a very kind offer.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Very kind offer and I see where you're coming from
0:18:39 > 0:18:40but I'm going to decline on that
0:18:40 > 0:18:43because I have to be a bit more disciplined about my costs.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Oh, my goodness.- 48?
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- Well, I tell you what. - Everybody loves a tryer.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52For your efforts and your sheer determination,
0:18:52 > 0:18:53I'm going to say yes to 48.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Yay! Thank you.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59A big improvement on your haggling skills, Blues. Job done.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Yes! Fantastic, well done.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Reds, you need one more item.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Right, we've got about three minutes left
0:19:07 > 0:19:09and we've spent £145 on two items.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11What are your thoughts?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I've just seen that gramophone there and the gentleman on the stall
0:19:14 > 0:19:18says it's £150 and is in working order, but he is open to offers.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20It's your decision.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Time is ticking!
0:19:22 > 0:19:24I think we should probably go with the bag
0:19:24 > 0:19:27and then you've got some left-over dosh to find something nice.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28£200 you spent, three items.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31The thing is, I think we bought three items all of us like,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- haven't we? - I think so, yeah.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- We're happy. - Off you go.- OK, brilliant.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Did you ever think that you'd come out and buy a box,
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- a perfume bottle and a sewing machine?- No!
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- The Blues can celebrate as they've finished.- Let's go.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51The Reds are also about to finish, if that bag hasn't been sold.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- It's still here.- Phew!
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Thank you very much.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I hope you do very well. KLAXON
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Right, team, the race is over.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Your time is up.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02I think you've done really, really well
0:20:02 > 0:20:04and just by the skin of your teeth.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09- Oh, thank God for that.- Let's go.- Come on then. Thank you.- Bye.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13We now need to race ahead to Richard Winterton Auctioneers in Lichfield,
0:20:13 > 0:20:17but before we sell, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20First up at £25,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23will the Reds be hung out to dry with this laundry box?
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Next up, will they have something to show with this display cabinet?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32£120 paid.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37Finally, will this £55 GPO bag deliver a first-class profit?
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- Well, girls, somehow, you managed to spend £200, didn't you?- We did.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Not sure about the items, but we definitely did.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Anyway, this gave the great man £100. What have you done?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I wanted to be colour-coded.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Oh, wow! What's that?- It's a... - What?
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- It looks like a coal scuttle, or something.- A leather fire bucket.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Oh, OK.- Right. And it cost me £50.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04And I just love it. New handle. Have a look.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- Would that be from the fire station, or someone's house?- Country house.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Oh, right.- It's probably the back end of the 18th century,
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- I would think.- OK.- They've fallen a little bit out of favour
0:21:14 > 0:21:17but they used to be £200-£300.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19What do you think it will make these days?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- I think, if we have a half decent day, it's £50-£80.- OK.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24But it's just a nice thing.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Well, we'll see what the ladies decide later on.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Now for the Blues.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Let's remind ourselves what they bought with their £300 budget.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Our girls in Blue hit the beat and paid £25 for this police box.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Next, they followed the scent
0:21:42 > 0:21:45and sniffed out this perfume bottle for £95.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52Finally, their shop was all stitched up with this sewing machine at £48.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- Well, girls, exciting shopping? - Definitely.- Marvellous.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- And you spent £168.- We did.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04That left young Christina with £132.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Rather too much, I would have thought.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12- What did you do with it, Christina? - Well, darling, old habits die hard.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- A ring!- Wow!- I like that.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18It is a silver-gilt, it's not platinum, or gold,
0:22:18 > 0:22:22dress ring, which is in the belle epoque style. French style.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Early 20th century. Late 19th century.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Set with, obviously, three stones, within the stone set surround.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- There we go. Have a little look. - Lovely. Very sparkly.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- I like the shape of it.- Yeah. - That's fabulous.- It's not diamonds.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38It's not diamonds. No. And that was reflected in the price that I paid.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39How much did you pay for it?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- I spent £25 on it. - Yes. That's good.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47I think at auction, I would hope it would fetch, maybe, £40-60, £50-£70.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Beautiful, yes, but has Christina chosen well?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53The Blues can decide after the sale of their three items.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56And talking of sale,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Richard Winterton, the auctioneer is about to start.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- Are you excited, girls?- Absolutely. - We can't wait.- You can't wait.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Have you ever been to an auction before?- Not like this.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- I have. Not this one. Car auctions, but not ones like this.- Car auction?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- This is nothing like a car auction, is it, Philip?- Not at all, Charles.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Not at all.- OK, girls, here comes the laundry box.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Laundry box there.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Wolverhampton Steam Laundry Ltd.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Nothing on my book to start us. Where are we going to be?
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Tense moment.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29£8, I'm bid. £8, I'm bid.
0:23:29 > 0:23:3215, I'm bid, internet.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37- £15, the internet.- Internet! - It's the internet!- £20, internet.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Come on, come on! - Ooh! the excitement of it all.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42£20. The internet at £20.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Anyone from Wolverhampton in the room? Come on!
0:23:46 > 0:23:48£20! All finished.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Sold at £20.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- Well...- You've only lost a fiver.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57It could be a lot worse. That's less than the cost of cleaning a sheet.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Here we go. The Eton College rules.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Ooh! let's see what happens with this.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04The framed screen now.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Various Eton College library rules on there. Nothing on my book.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10So, where are you going to be? I'm in your hands. £15, I'm bid.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- How much?- £15. - This needs to go a bit. Come on.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14At the 15 bid.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- £20.- Only 100 to go.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- £20. Internet going to let us down? - Oh, no!
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Obviously, Eton boys are not sitting there watching the internet today.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Finished and closed. £20.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- Girls, that's just a cool hundred you've lost there.- Never mind.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Down 105, at the moment.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40What about the Gladstone bag? It's coming up now.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06- Oh, minus 15.- Another loss. - Minus 105. You're only down £120.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10If you say it quickly, that's not a great deal.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- What's the opposite of a golden gavel?- Yes. We want one.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Come on, now, think. Do you want to go with the fire bucket?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- I think we should. I like it. Again,...- You're going with it?
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Here we go. It's coming up right now. Come on, bucket.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50£40!
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- It's been a really good day, this, Charlie.- This has been a cracker.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57- In a nutshell, girls, you have lost £130.- Is that all?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Now, I don't want a word to the Blues because,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04believe it or not, this could yet be a winning score.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Charlie, we're not going to mention this to anybody,
0:26:06 > 0:26:08let alone the Blues!
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Right, girls, are you excited? - Yes.- Very excited?- Yes.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Ever been to an auction before? - Never.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25You could not be in safer hands than the great Christina.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Oh, my goodness!
0:26:26 > 0:26:28She will guide you to profits untold.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32So, first up, the stationary box.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34The oak stationary box there.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Police, 1936, on the front.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Where are we going to be? Nothing on my book.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40I'm in your hands. 20?
0:26:40 > 0:26:4310? £8? 8. 10.
0:26:43 > 0:26:4515. £20.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59Plus a tenner!
0:26:59 > 0:27:01You know how to make money. Gosh!
0:27:01 > 0:27:04I should give up that policing lark.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Here comes the scent bottle.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Now we go across to the perfume bottle. Now.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Silver-topped. Hinged top with it there.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14£10, I'm bid.
0:27:14 > 0:27:1715. 20. £20, I'm bid.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21£20 I'm bid. With me. 25. 30. 35.
0:27:21 > 0:27:2535 on my left. £40, the internet.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- 45, the room.- Getting better.
0:27:29 > 0:27:3245, the room. 45, the room. On my left at 45!
0:27:32 > 0:27:34You're all out? All done?
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Minus 50 plus 10 means minus 40.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Don't worry about that.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42It could be a hell of a lot worse.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Stop laughing. Think sewing machine.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Moving now to the sewing machine there.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50The Premier sewing machine.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Commission bids are left.
0:27:51 > 0:27:5515, 20, 25!
0:27:55 > 0:27:5725, not bad.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59It's halfway there.
0:27:59 > 0:28:0125, 30 in the room. 30 in the room.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06- Internet, you are out now. - We need some more sewers, don't we?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Sold, then,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10at £30.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13You've lost £58.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Which, in these terms, it's not too bad.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18- Now, do you want to go with the bonus buy?- Absolutely.- Yes.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- Were going with it. - Do you like it?- Yes. We like it.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- We have faith in you. We're going with it.- On that result, really?
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- Yes.- No.- I have to say, I think you've done the right thing.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32- Here we go.- I don't think I can watch.- This is the moment.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34What a fab little silver-gilt ring.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36You'd never know this wasn't the real thing.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Bit of interest on my book.
0:28:38 > 0:28:3910, 15.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42£20. 25, £30. 35. £40.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- £50 with me.- Double your money!
0:28:46 > 0:28:48At 50.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50£50!
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Yes!
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- Well done.- That's a huge result. That's plus 25.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58You were down 58, which means you're only down £33.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Oh, God! That's OK. - Stunning, stunning work!
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Never mind. I wanted to make some, but never mind.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- Girls, not a word to the Reds.- No.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Well, losses all round today,
0:29:12 > 0:29:16but the team with the smallest loss were the Blues at minus-£33.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Coming up: Will our next two teams rise to THEIR challenge?
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Meanwhile, we're off to somewhere rather special.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Today I've come to Blakesley Hall,
0:29:33 > 0:29:40built in 1590, which makes it one of the oldest buildings in Birmingham.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45The man that built this house
0:29:45 > 0:29:48on former farmland in the Birmingham suburb of Yardley
0:29:48 > 0:29:50was Richard Smallbrook.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52He was a wealthy merchant
0:29:52 > 0:29:55and this is a statement of his new-found wealth.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58There's a fascinating history
0:29:58 > 0:30:02and I've come to meet Steve Spencer to find out more.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03What a wonderful building!
0:30:03 > 0:30:06So, what was the house like when it was first built?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08It was modern and fashionable.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11It was at a time when English domestic architecture
0:30:11 > 0:30:14was moving away from the medieval style
0:30:14 > 0:30:16and the central fireplace and one big room.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20What specific external features have we got here?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Well, you have a lot of use of oak.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25The more oak you used in a building, was a sign of your wealth.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Richard Smallbrook was very much showing off.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30He was sort of the nouveau riche of Tudor England, if you like.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- The new money.- And it's wealth. "Here I am, a merchant and look what I've done.- Exactly.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- Perhaps we could go inside?- Yes.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41The Smallbrooks lived here until 1686.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43After that, the building passed into the hands
0:30:43 > 0:30:46of another local family who rented the adjoining land
0:30:46 > 0:30:48to a succession of farmers.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51The house and farm fell into disrepair
0:30:51 > 0:30:55but the house was renovated in 1899 and then bought at auction
0:30:55 > 0:30:59by Thomas Merry, a Birmingham paint and varnish manufacturer.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03When he died in 1932, the house was put up for auction again
0:31:03 > 0:31:07and in 1935, the house became a museum.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10There was huge attention to detail with regard to the
0:31:10 > 0:31:13outside of the house and the opulence of it all.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17Is there the same sort of attention to detail inside?
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Very much so. We have very high ceilings in this room
0:31:20 > 0:31:24and throughout the ground floor. We have plastered ceilings.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26In a farmhouse, the ceilings would be lower,
0:31:26 > 0:31:28you'd see the floorboards above.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30We have chamfered beams as well.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34And also, we have a long gallery on the first floor, which again,
0:31:34 > 0:31:37is very unusual for a house of this style.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40The long gallery is somewhere where they would entertain.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44They would hang paintings and they would even exercise and dance.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Steve, thank you so much for all that history.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Absolutely fascinating.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53We're back in Peterborough, at the East Of England Showground.
0:31:53 > 0:31:58Now we have a new set of Reds and Blues ready to take on the Bargain Hunt challenge.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- Do you like the glass?- No.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02She doesn't like it. I like it.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03- It's just not my era of collection.- No.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06It's going to be an exciting one!
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Mwah! How about that?
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Well, let's meet today's teams. We've got four gorgeous girls today.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16For the Reds, we have Dee and Jean
0:32:16 > 0:32:18and for the Blues, we have Alison and Sarah.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello!
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Now, Dee, you used to be Jean's boss, I believe.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Yes. Many moons ago.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- That's how we first met. - Is it?- Yes.- What were you doing?
0:32:28 > 0:32:31I was a customer support manager for a large company in Peterborough
0:32:31 > 0:32:34and Jean joined us to do a special product
0:32:34 > 0:32:37which was the walk-in food centres, the big freezers.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- Right. Was she good at her job? - Excellent.- Was she?
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- Without question.- Marvellous. And what was she like as a boss?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- She was excellent. - Oh, of course she was.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48But I have to say that cos she's standing next to me.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50THEY LAUGH Now, Dee, you're retired now,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52but you are still serving the people of Whittlesey, aren't you?
0:32:52 > 0:32:56Full-time job. I'm a town councillor for Whittlesey
0:32:56 > 0:32:58and a district councillor for the Fenland area.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- Now, Jean, you're also retired, aren't you?- I am, yes.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- So, what do you like doing? - Well, I like shopping.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06My friends say I'm a shopaholic.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08I don't think I am, but they do say that.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- Today's your ideal day, isn't it? - It is. A perfect day for me, yes.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13How about antiques? Good at antiques?
0:33:13 > 0:33:16I don't know a lot, but I know what I like.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Dee, where does your knowledge of antiques and collectables come from?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- I inherited silver. It's a labour of love.- Mm.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26- Takes me seven hours to clean about every eight weeks.- Seven hours?
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Yes, but it looks perfect. It's lovely.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Lots of memories to it, attached to it.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34But I also like Waterford Crystal.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37I'm not averse to diamonds and a bit of bling as well.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39THEY LAUGH
0:33:39 > 0:33:42I've never yet met a woman who's averse to diamonds.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- And who will be holding the purse strings?- Me.- Jean.- Yeah.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48You don't want to spend too much, do you?
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- Well...- Oh, yes, you do.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Well, you only have this experience once.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Well, thank you to the Red team. Now onto the Blues, Alison and Sarah.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57Now, you're neighbours, aren't you?
0:33:57 > 0:34:01- We live about two doors apart from each other.- Do your families get on?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Our boys are both best friends, aren't they?
0:34:03 > 0:34:04- Really?- They are, yes. Same age.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06- That's lovely. - Used to be at the same school.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Now, Alison, you design toys for a living?
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- Yes, I work on craft products for children.- Oh, do you?- Yes.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15And it covers a wide range of craft products
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- from chocolate products, jewellery, greetings cards...- Hang on.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Let me stop you there. How can chocolate be a craft product?
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Making lollipops, making coins,
0:34:24 > 0:34:27making little cakes and things made from chocolate.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Oh, I see. I like things like that.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Now, Sarah, what do you do for a living?
0:34:31 > 0:34:34I'm a receptionist at a large secondary school at the moment.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38- Gosh. That must keep you busy. - Very busy. Very, very busy.- Gosh.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41But prior to that, I was a freelance wedding florist,
0:34:41 > 0:34:42so I still do a little bit of that.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45So, what's it going to be like shopping together?
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- Are you going to be in agreement? - We do have similar tastes,
0:34:47 > 0:34:49especially in the jewellery department.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50- Yeah.- We like similar things.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- We like quirky things. - Will you be spending big?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- No, I don't think so. - No, I think our strategy
0:34:54 > 0:34:57is to spend smallish amounts of money.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59We're not going to be too fixed in terms of the amount,
0:34:59 > 0:35:03- but we don't want to be spending a huge amount on one item.- OK.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Now, if you're going to go shopping, girls,
0:35:05 > 0:35:07there's something you're missing.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10- ALL:- Money!- Money. Absolutely. Here we go.
0:35:10 > 0:35:16- 300 for you and 300 for you girls. Off you go.- Thank you.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20One frugal, one spendthrift. Anybody's game.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Right, my girlie-wirlies,
0:35:26 > 0:35:29what are we looking for today in the sunshine?
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- It's gorgeous.- Isn't it?
0:35:31 > 0:35:34I'd like to find something quite individual, one-of-a-kind,
0:35:34 > 0:35:36very attractive, unique.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37- Silver jewellery.- Right.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40But obviously, knowing about the show field,
0:35:40 > 0:35:42it's probably expensive.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44I'm looking for something functional for the house.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45- Right.- Something that can be used.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49I think small things, quirky things,
0:35:49 > 0:35:53- something perhaps a bit shiny as well for my friend.- Shiny things!
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Now, teams, no time for clowning around.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Your time starts...now. BELL RINGS
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Do you know what I think we should buy?- What?- A profit.
0:36:01 > 0:36:02- Yes!- Come on.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04- We've got a long list, haven't we? - Yes, we have.- Let's go.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- Go, Phil. Go, Phil. - THEY LAUGH
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I said no clowning around, Reds.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18If you want to spend a penny, they're ideal, aren't they?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- Brilliant. - THEY LAUGH
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- Well, actually, it could be a water planter.- Well...
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Phil, you've got your work cut out here.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- OK, right, what do we think? What do we think?- These trunks.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- This one. I quite like this metal one.- Trunks.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- What's the difference, do you think, in terms of...?- Trunks. Why trunks?
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- What is it you love about trunks? - Well, they're useful for storage.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- Blanket box and, you know, under-the-bed toy box.- Yes.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41They've kind of got that vintage look, haven't they?
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- But that looks... It looks... It's solid.- It is.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46And it's actually wooden bound, so it's a steamer trunk
0:36:46 > 0:36:49and it's got a nice luggage label on the bottom saying
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Union-Castle Line from South and East Africa.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- That's a well-travelled trunk, isn't it? I like that.- Yes, it is.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- Why don't we find out how much it is?- Yeah, OK.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Is this yours, sir? How much have you got on it?
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- MAN:- I want £50.- £50.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- It's a nice thing, Bongo. - Bongo?- Ali Bongo.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- Bongo?- I'm not sure about it. - Did you call her Bongo?
0:37:11 > 0:37:15- I think she did call her Bongo, Christina.- Ali Bongo.- Ali Bongo.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- It's just a friendship name, really.- Bongo?
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Would you be interested in coming down quite a bit lower?
0:37:20 > 0:37:25- How about 40?- How about 25? - How about 30?- 25? 25?
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- 25? That's fine.- Oh, gosh! Really? - Yes.- That'd be fantastic.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Well, for 25, we'll take it. - Hang on a second. What's going on?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33- Is that all right? - But you don't like it.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36No, I think Sarah... We said one object for Sarah.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38If she thinks she really likes it, I'm a good friend.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40You can have it, if you want, for 25.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42I don't think you'll find another one for as good a price.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Is that your lowest price? It is, yeah. You're very kind.
0:37:45 > 0:37:46Could 20 clinch it?
0:37:46 > 0:37:48I think 20's going to clinch it, yes.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- 20's going to clinch it. - 20. We'll go for it.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- Are you happy, girls? - Yes, yes, OK.- Yes.- How many minutes?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55- Have we actually had a minute yet? - We have to say thank you.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57You've had five minutes, Christina.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Good on you, ladies. First item in the bag.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- Thank you very much. - Thank you, Bongo.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- Thank you.- Well done, Bongo. - High-five.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09This is terrifying. This is going to be over in ten minutes.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10- Let's go. Let's go.- OK, let's go.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Well, if you carry on at this rate.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22Now, are the Reds about to lift the lid on their first item?
0:38:23 > 0:38:27- How much is the box, please? - The best on that's 30.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- Best?- Yes, £30.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32I think it's absolutely awful, right?
0:38:32 > 0:38:34But I think there's a profit in that.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Which do you think is older, that...- DEE:- Or you?
0:38:37 > 0:38:38- ..or me?- You.- You're right.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- SHE LAUGHS - That's not old.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43You've got a better eye than I thought you'd got.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Remember, Reds, it's your shop, not Phil's.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Have the Blues found something ooh-la-la?
0:38:51 > 0:38:54It is signed by a French artist.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58- His bronzes make thousands of pounds.- You're joking.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59It's going to be really expensive.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- WOMAN:- It's not actually that expensive.- Oh?- No.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- I've got 180 on it.- BOTH:- Ooh!
0:39:05 > 0:39:08The absolute death would be 120 for it.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09It's quite unusual.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- It's pewter.- Yes. - It's been amazing...
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- I mean, it is just wacky.- Yes. Yes.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17- If you're going for quirky...- Yeah.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20..that has got quirk blaring out of it.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22But do you want to spend big, girls, or what do you want to do?
0:39:22 > 0:39:24We did say we'd go for lower-priced objects,
0:39:24 > 0:39:27but it's where the heart is, isn't it, sometimes?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30- Do you love that?- I mean, I think it's really...- Yeah, I like that.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32..amazing cos it's so unusual.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- Shall we come back to it?- We could potentially find something
0:39:34 > 0:39:36that we could maybe make a bit more money on,
0:39:36 > 0:39:38- but we can certainly come back to it.- OK.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41These Blues are taking it all in their stride, aren't they?
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Right, time's now coming we've got to buy something, ladies.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Not sure the same can be said for the Reds.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- I'm getting a bit panicky now. - You're getting a bit panicky?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- I'm getting very panicky, let me tell you.- Yeah, yeah.
0:39:54 > 0:39:55Very, very panicky.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57No need to panic yet.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01You still have around 40 minutes on the clock. Just focus.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03We need something cheap and profitable.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05MAN LAUGHS
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- Do you like that? - I don't dislike it,
0:40:08 > 0:40:10- but then, it's cleaning, isn't it? - HE LAUGHS
0:40:10 > 0:40:12I don't think people like to clean these days, do they?
0:40:12 > 0:40:16That's the problem. It's sort of...
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- It's always the price, isn't it? - Yeah.- It's always the price.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22If I remember correctly, Dee spends hours cleaning her silverware.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Ah, ladies, I knew it wouldn't take you long to spot a jewellery stall.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27Girls, this is heaven!
0:40:27 > 0:40:30You don't want to keep me here too long. Blimey.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32All these beads.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Wonderful.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39This brooch and earring set, priced at £95,
0:40:39 > 0:40:41is bringing a smile to Alison's face.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Scandinavian jewellery is a personal favourite of mine
0:40:44 > 0:40:45because they don't work a lot in gold.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48They didn't believe in actually making jewellery
0:40:48 > 0:40:49for the price of the piece itself.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51They believed in making jewellery for art's sake
0:40:51 > 0:40:54and making jewellery that was incredibly beautiful.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57They used a lot of enamelwork and over the last couple of years,
0:40:57 > 0:40:58- it has become incredibly popular. - Mm.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00- Do you want to have a look at it? - Yes.- I think so.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Thank you so much.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06So, you've got a pair of clip-on earrings
0:41:06 > 0:41:08and a brooch there.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09So, it's silver-gilt.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11So, it's stamped 925S
0:41:11 > 0:41:15and then it's stamped there DA for David-Andersen sterling, Norway.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17- I love the colour. - I mean, at auction,
0:41:17 > 0:41:21- I would put them in probably at £50 to £70.- Right.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22I think it's a nice...
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Nice that you've got the earrings and the brooch.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26I think it's really decorative, very pretty
0:41:26 > 0:41:28and I think lots of ladies
0:41:28 > 0:41:30do actually like blue as a colour, so...
0:41:30 > 0:41:31And it's our team colour.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33It's our team colour, isn't it? The Blues.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36So, yeah, I think it's lovely.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38What could be your best price on that, darling?
0:41:38 > 0:41:41- Um, I'd do them for 75.- 75. OK.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45Is there any chance we could sort of nudge it towards the 60-ish?
0:41:45 > 0:41:48- Just a bit?- No. - Are you sure?- I'd do 65.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52- 65?- I think he said 50. - 50, wasn't it?
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- SHE LAUGHS - He's getting cross with me now.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Was it 55?
0:41:56 > 0:41:58- What did we say, darling?- MAN:- 65.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00- Shall we go for that? - Let's go for it, yeah.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- Well, do you love it?- I like it.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- I mean, I like it enough. - Should this be our joint purchase?
0:42:06 > 0:42:08- Yes, that's fair. - Yes, all right, then.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- We'll have it as a joint, yes. - So, this could be our joint purchase
0:42:11 > 0:42:14- and we'll get Bongo something. - Yes, OK.- Right, let's go.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Bravo, Blues. Second item in the bag.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19But with just 20 minutes left on the clock,
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- the Reds haven't bought a thing. - What about the scales there?
0:42:23 > 0:42:26£78. I mean, I think they're quite cool.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Yeah.- Yeah, I like those. - Really old-fashioned type.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32They look to me like they're, what, '30s or '50s?
0:42:32 > 0:42:34They wouldn't be '40s, war years,
0:42:34 > 0:42:36but they'd be just before or just after, I would think.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Excuse me, sir.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Have you any idea how old these might be, do you think?
0:42:41 > 0:42:43'They look sort of '50-ish to me.'
0:42:43 > 0:42:46That's what I was sort of kind of thinking. And you think this...?
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- And they're clearly English cos they're Avery scales.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51- This is enamelled.- Yeah.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Glass-plated. Perhaps butchers.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57There's only one thing we need to know is the price, really.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00- The price is on top. - No, I saw that.- 60.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05That's too round. We need to come down a little bit.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09- 'That's very round.' - 52 sounds good to me.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13- '52?'- 52? Where did you get 52 from?
0:43:13 > 0:43:16- I was going to offer him 50. - SHE LAUGHS
0:43:16 > 0:43:17Could you do them for 50 quid?
0:43:17 > 0:43:19- I'll do them for 50, yeah. - Do you like them?
0:43:19 > 0:43:23- Yeah, I do. I think they're very... - Deal done.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Thank you very much.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27Finally, the Reds have taken off.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30The Avery scales are their first item.
0:43:30 > 0:43:31I told you not to panic.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34- Stay with us. - HE WHIMPERS
0:43:36 > 0:43:38- We need to find something else now, don't we?- We do. Come on.
0:43:38 > 0:43:42We've got the momentum going now. One down, two to go.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44Yes, keep it up, Reds.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47It's still 2-1 to the Blues, and the ladies have built up an appetite.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49Ooh, smell those bacon butties, girls.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52- Do you think we'll get time for an ice cream?- Ooh, that would be nice.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54The Blues may be peckish,
0:43:54 > 0:43:57but the Reds are hungry to track down their next item.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59Oh, I've got something nice for you.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02Art Nouveau silver brooch. It's a beauty.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05It's Scottish agate, set in solid silver,
0:44:05 > 0:44:09made in about 1910, 1915.
0:44:09 > 0:44:10There's a hallmark. You could date that.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13- Don't tell me what your price is, but I would have...- Yeah. 40.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17- 40?- 40.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20- So, I'll do it for 30. - It's not very clean.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22- If it was 20, it might be more desirable.- No, I couldn't.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25I paid more than that for it, so I couldn't. It's impossible.
0:44:25 > 0:44:27- Do you like it? - Not Arts and Crafts, no.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29I can tell by her face, Phil, she doesn't.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33Oh, no! There seems to be a difference of opinion AGAIN.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35If it's going to make money, I'm happy.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38- MAN:- It will make money for sure and I reckon you'll get 50 at auction.
0:44:38 > 0:44:39She doesn't like it. I like it.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42But with just the sniff of a possible profit,
0:44:42 > 0:44:43looks like Dee's been persuaded.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46- Go with that?- Yeah. - Done?- Done.- Yes, done.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48- Thank you very much. - That's all right.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51Dee may not like it, but that's the second item for the Reds.
0:44:51 > 0:44:55It's two apiece. How are we doing for time, Phil?
0:44:55 > 0:44:58- We've got 20 minutes. Where now?- Into the sheds.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09Blues, are you still ploughing on nicely?
0:45:09 > 0:45:12What do you think about these tractor seats over here?
0:45:12 > 0:45:14Well, I'm a farmer's wife,
0:45:14 > 0:45:16so you don't want to talk to me about tractor seats.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18- Yeah, I think you're right. - They're quite unusual.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21Yeah, they have been tractor seats that have been converted
0:45:21 > 0:45:24- into bar stools or, you know, stools, effectively.- Mm-hm.
0:45:24 > 0:45:25They've obviously been refurbed
0:45:25 > 0:45:27cos they've got this new swivel mechanism on them
0:45:27 > 0:45:29and they'd never have been on this base originally.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32So, somebody's taken an old base and put this seat on it.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34I think they're actually incredibly effective.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37And if you think, now, a lot of people have kitchen islands.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39We'd have to buy both of them if we were going to buy them.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41Yes, I think you're right.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44What do you think we could get for those at an auction, then?
0:45:44 > 0:45:46- You might be looking at £20, £30 apiece.- Yes, OK.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48I think I'll go and see how much they are.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51- See if you can do a buy one, get one free.- Buy one, get one free. BOGOF.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54- THEY LAUGH - That would be quite useful.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56I'll have a sit down myself, I think.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58- That's a good idea. They are comfy, aren't they?- Aren't they?
0:45:58 > 0:46:00You know the question I'm going to ask you.
0:46:00 > 0:46:02- What's the best price? - What's the best price?
0:46:02 > 0:46:06- The best price is a straight 100 for the pair.- For the pair?
0:46:06 > 0:46:07So, that's 50 each.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10It's a little bit on the steep side.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12- We'll have a think about it. - No problem.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14- We're in this game for profit, so...- Yeah.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16- Aren't we all?- Yes. - THEY LAUGH
0:46:18 > 0:46:21Quite right, Blues. Stick to your game plan.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23So, Reds, have you sniffed out anything?
0:46:23 > 0:46:25- What am I looking at? - The perfume bottle.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28- You're taking me out of my comfort zone here.- Oh, am I?
0:46:28 > 0:46:31- Oh, OK.- That has neither got rust, nor is it made of wood.- No.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34Yes, Phil, but can you smell a profit?
0:46:34 > 0:46:37The thing is, this lady has beautifully presented things,
0:46:37 > 0:46:40- but I think it's going to be a bit too much for us at auction.- Yeah.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43- We have now got just ten minutes left.- Ten minutes left.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45- Come on. We need to get on. - Let's get cracking.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50Oh, crikey, teams, time really is ticking.
0:46:55 > 0:46:56How are you measuring up, Blues?
0:46:56 > 0:46:58- Sweet.- Oh, that is sweet. - MAN:- That's 20, that one.
0:46:58 > 0:46:59This is quite sweet cos it's
0:46:59 > 0:47:02a little advertising one for Chamberlain and Sons Ltd.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05- Stiffener and leather manufacturers. Rushden, England.- Rushden.
0:47:05 > 0:47:09- That's where we live. - Yes, it is. I do like it.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12Is there any flexibility on the price on your tape?
0:47:12 > 0:47:16- Oh, go on. Do 15.- OK.- Then you don't have to take it home.- All right.- 15?
0:47:16 > 0:47:18- Yeah, that's fine.- Oh, that's great. - What do I do, girls?
0:47:18 > 0:47:21- Yeah, we'll go for it.- Yes. - Are we done?- Yes, done.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23We've got two minutes. We can keep wandering round.
0:47:23 > 0:47:24We might go down another....
0:47:24 > 0:47:28The Blues are finished. Three items bought. Well done.
0:47:28 > 0:47:32Over to the Reds. There's just a few minutes left.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35- Harrods Limited of London, Knightsbridge.- Oh.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38You've got a little bit of damage there. A little bit.
0:47:38 > 0:47:40But I just think that's quite a nice thing.
0:47:40 > 0:47:44- And these are collectables? - Yeah, massively collectable.- Really?
0:47:44 > 0:47:45It's priced at 295.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48I've had a word with the dealer,
0:47:48 > 0:47:50cos you've got to leave me with something.
0:47:50 > 0:47:52He'll let you have it for 220.
0:47:52 > 0:47:56The risk is, on a bad day, it might make 150, 160.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59On a good day, it might make 300, 350.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02- I love this, but that just puts me off it a little bit.- Yeah.
0:48:02 > 0:48:07Check your budget, Reds. £220 won't leave Phil with a penny.
0:48:07 > 0:48:11- Do you want the postbox? - I like those post...- Why not?
0:48:11 > 0:48:14- How old is it? - 'Brand-new.'- Oh, no.- No.
0:48:14 > 0:48:15No. Right, we've got to go, go, go.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18Do you like the fire screen?
0:48:19 > 0:48:22- No. Do you like the glass? - No.- Right.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24- You've got to buy something now. - We've got to buy it.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26You either say, "We'll have the globe" or...
0:48:26 > 0:48:29- We'll have the globe. - That's what you want?- BOTH:- Yeah.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31- 11 seconds, Dee. Quick.- Oh, Lordy!
0:48:31 > 0:48:33How are they going to get themselves out of this pickle?
0:48:33 > 0:48:34Good sir, good sir, good sir.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36They made a mistake earlier with their sums.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39They haven't got 220 left. That's everything gone.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41If they give you 215, it leaves me with a fiver.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44- Is that all right?- That's all right. - Cos if it isn't, we're up it!
0:48:44 > 0:48:47- Thank you so much.- Phew! You were lucky there, Reds.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49Job done. KLAXON
0:48:49 > 0:48:51Right, teams, your time is up.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54That is the closest I've ever been in this programme. It really is.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56There was about a second to go.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58- Well done.- Yeah, thank you. - Do you know what?
0:48:58 > 0:49:00- I thought we were going to have loads of time at the end.- I know.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02- So did I.- So relaxed, so laid-back.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05- And, actually, we took it a bit close to the wire.- We did, yes.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08- Bongo, don't do that to me again. - THEY LAUGH
0:49:10 > 0:49:14Shopping's done and we've returned to the auction in Lichfield,
0:49:14 > 0:49:17but first, though, let's have a reminder of what the Red team bought.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22First up, the Reds weighed in
0:49:22 > 0:49:24and paid £50 for these Avery scales.
0:49:28 > 0:49:32Next, they'll be pinning their hopes on this brooch, which cost £30.
0:49:35 > 0:49:38And finally, at £215,
0:49:38 > 0:49:41will this globe have far-reaching appeal at the auction?
0:49:41 > 0:49:45- Dee, lovely to see you here. - Thank you, Charlie.- Where is Jean?
0:49:45 > 0:49:47Unfortunately, she couldn't make it today,
0:49:47 > 0:49:50- but I have a partner here in Philip Serrell.- A-ha-ha.
0:49:50 > 0:49:51Look at this.
0:49:51 > 0:49:55- Well, Dee, you were a spendthrift, weren't you?- Absolutely.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59- Between you, you managed to spend £295...- We blew it.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01..leaving Lord Serrell with a fiver.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04Well, let's have a look. I think you might be disappointed.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06Yeah, I think you're going to be very disappointed
0:50:06 > 0:50:09cos all I could find for a fiver was this little clock,
0:50:09 > 0:50:11and I thought it was quite apt
0:50:11 > 0:50:13given the time pressures that we were under.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15So, how much are we going to achieve?
0:50:15 > 0:50:18Well, I was kind of hoping that the minimum bid here is £10.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21You know, and then we're home and doubled the money.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24Will Dee be persuaded? We'll find out later on.
0:50:24 > 0:50:28In the meantime, here's a little reminder of the Blue team's three items.
0:50:30 > 0:50:35For starters, at £20, will this trunk be packed with profit?
0:50:37 > 0:50:42Next they paid the pretty price of £65 for this brooch and earrings.
0:50:44 > 0:50:48And finally, will this measuring tape go the distance?
0:50:48 > 0:50:49£15 paid.
0:50:50 > 0:50:53Well, this is very exciting, isn't it? What's under there?
0:50:55 > 0:50:58- Oh! Oh, my goodness. - THEY LAUGH
0:50:58 > 0:51:00- A deafening silence. - Is it, what, a duvet?
0:51:00 > 0:51:05It is an early-20th-century paisley eiderdown.
0:51:05 > 0:51:08- How much do you think I spent?- £30.
0:51:08 > 0:51:13- Ooh, close. I spent £25 on it. - BOTH:- Ooh!- That's quite close.
0:51:13 > 0:51:15And what will it make?
0:51:15 > 0:51:16So, I think, at auction,
0:51:16 > 0:51:19you're going to be looking at 30 to 50, £40 to £60.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22- Something like that.- Ooh, profit. - That's all right, isn't it?
0:51:22 > 0:51:23Yes, it's a profit.
0:51:23 > 0:51:27Only a POSSIBLE profit, Blues, you haven't solid it yet!
0:51:28 > 0:51:31But you don't have long to wait because we're now ready to sell,
0:51:31 > 0:51:34so hopefully let's make some money!
0:51:35 > 0:51:38- Dee, now's the moment. - I know.- Are you excited?
0:51:38 > 0:51:40I'm totally up for it and I'm enthusiastic.
0:51:40 > 0:51:43Which of the lots do you think will make the biggest profit?
0:51:43 > 0:51:46- On balance, it could be the scales. - I like that.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Is that one of your lines? On balance?
0:51:48 > 0:51:50- I'd need to weigh that one up. - THEY LAUGH
0:51:50 > 0:51:53- Wait!- I'll take the measure of your judgment.- Oh, dear me.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55I can't compete with this.
0:51:55 > 0:51:59The set of the shop Avery scales. White enamel.
0:51:59 > 0:52:03- Here are the scales.- At 20. We're at five. We are 30.
0:52:03 > 0:52:06We are five. We are 40. £40 bid.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08Just need a little bit more, don't we?
0:52:08 > 0:52:11£40. £40. At £40.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13We're just down a tenner. Come on.
0:52:13 > 0:52:17- It's mid-40s. - Oh, he's stopped.- Oh!- Sold.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20Well, you're down a tenner. That's not the end of the world, is it?
0:52:20 > 0:52:22- That was a very rare object. - That might come, Charlie.
0:52:22 > 0:52:23Here comes the brooch.
0:52:23 > 0:52:29£8, I'm bid. £8. £10. £15. £20.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31Only cost 30. It's getting there.

0:52:34 > 0:52:37- 25, the internet. - Let's get 30 in the room.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40- Wonderful piece.- £28.- Yes! Come on!
0:52:40 > 0:52:4128.
0:52:42 > 0:52:46- Minus two means you're minus 12. - They failed me.- This is pretty good.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49All we need now is a really good result.
0:52:49 > 0:52:50Now the globe. The terrestrial globe.

0:53:18 > 0:53:21- So, we're going with the bonus buy? - Absolutely.- Well done, Dee.- 317.
0:53:21 > 0:53:24Little Bakelite bedside clock.
0:53:24 > 0:53:25Here we go.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28- The bedside clock.- This is it. - £2 to start me.- Oh, ouch!
0:53:28 > 0:53:30£2 to start me.

0:53:53 > 0:53:58- ..£17.- That's incredible. - That is just such a result.
0:53:58 > 0:54:00We spent all of our money, Charlie.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02Spent all your money and only lost £17.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04- And he was very stressed at the end.- Serious result.
0:54:04 > 0:54:08Now, promise me, not a word to the Blues.
0:54:08 > 0:54:09- Oh, I shall be silent.- Not a word.
0:54:19 > 0:54:23Well, girls, you look as if you're expecting something enormous.
0:54:23 > 0:54:27- We're very excited. - I think you should be pretty happy.
0:54:27 > 0:54:30- Do you feel a Golden Gavel coming on?- Yes, yes, yes.

0:56:59 > 0:57:01It's a profit, girls!
0:57:01 > 0:57:02It's been a bit of a yo-yo, hasn't it?
0:57:02 > 0:57:05A little bit up, a little bit down, a little bit in the middle.
0:57:05 > 0:57:07But overall, £25. I think that's good.
0:57:07 > 0:57:09- Yes. Very happy, aren't we? - Yes, we're happy.
0:57:09 > 0:57:13Not a word to the Red team. That could well be a winning score.
0:57:25 > 0:57:28So, we've had a lot of fun. A lot of fun.
0:57:28 > 0:57:30- Haven't we, girls? - Definitely.- Yes.- Absolutely.
0:57:30 > 0:57:33Dee, we haven't got Jean. How would she have enjoyed it?
0:57:33 > 0:57:35I think she would have loved it today.
0:57:35 > 0:57:36I'm sure she would have.
0:57:36 > 0:57:40Of course, as always, on the programme, we have a winner
0:57:40 > 0:57:43and we don't have a loser, we have a runner-up.
0:57:43 > 0:57:46And the runner-up today is, without doubt...
0:57:47 > 0:57:49- ..the Red team.- Oh.
0:57:49 > 0:57:52- THEY CHEER - Well done, girls.
0:57:52 > 0:57:55- If only Jean had been here... - Absolutely.
0:57:55 > 0:57:56..things might have been different.
0:57:56 > 0:57:59- Unlikely, but they might have been.- Oh!
0:57:59 > 0:58:02Anyway, it's been a lot of fun and there hasn't been much in it,
0:58:02 > 0:58:06I have to say. You know, you only lost £17,
0:58:06 > 0:58:09but not as good as the smug Blues.
0:58:09 > 0:58:13- Overall, you've made £25. - Yay! Well done, girls.
0:58:13 > 0:58:15Stunning work. Look at that.
0:58:15 > 0:58:17Don't spend it all at the same time.
0:58:17 > 0:58:20Take it before I put it back in my pocket.
0:58:20 > 0:58:22THEY LAUGH
0:58:22 > 0:58:24You've been great contestants. A lot of fun.
0:58:24 > 0:58:28- In the meantime, join us for more Bargain Hunting. Yes? ALL:- Yes!
