We're at the East of England Showground

0:00:020:00:04

and I'm in the driving seat today.

0:00:040:00:06

MUSIC: Water Music, Suite No.2 by Handel

0:00:060:00:08

Sir Henry Royce, the man behind this superb Rolls-Royce, was born

0:00:080:00:12

here in Peterborough. So, with that in mind, let's go Bargain Hunting.

0:00:120:00:16

Henry Royce formed a fantastic partnership with

0:00:430:00:46

Charles Stewart Rolls.

0:00:460:00:48

And that's what we need on Bargain Hunt, successful partnerships.

0:00:480:00:52

So, let's take a little sneaky peek

0:00:520:00:55

at the journey ahead.

0:00:550:00:59

On today's show, the old ones are the best for the Reds.

0:00:590:01:02

-I like the old one.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:01:020:01:04

Probably because we're of similar age!

0:01:040:01:05

THEY LAUGH

0:01:050:01:08

And the Blues have expensive tastes.

0:01:080:01:11

-That is beautiful.

-A beautiful thing. Out of budget. Put it back.

0:01:110:01:14

-OK.

-Well done.

0:01:140:01:16

But just who will come out on top at the auction?

0:01:160:01:19

-Ooh! The excitement of it all.

-£35.

0:01:190:01:21

Equal! That's all for later.

0:01:210:01:24

Let's meet today's teams.

0:01:240:01:26

We've got four lovely ladies here today.

0:01:260:01:28

For the Reds, we have a mum and daughter team, Amelia and Rosie.

0:01:280:01:32

And for the Blues, we have two great friends, Amy and Rebecca.

0:01:320:01:36

-Hello, everyone.

-Hello.

0:01:360:01:37

Now, Amelia, you work in sales. Does that mean

0:01:370:01:39

you're going to be driving a hard bargain?

0:01:390:01:41

I do like a good haggle, so I'll certainly try

0:01:410:01:43

my best to drive a hard bargain.

0:01:430:01:44

-What sort of sales are you involved with?

-Software,

0:01:440:01:47

-for a software company that I work in.

-I don't understand software.

0:01:470:01:50

Let's move on.

0:01:500:01:51

Now, Rosie. You're a retired customer services rep, aren't you?

0:01:510:01:54

-I am.

-Any good at antiques?

0:01:540:01:56

Well, I used to have a collection of nearly 150 teapots but they were

0:01:560:02:00

-too much dusting, so they had to go!

-You kept your best ones, did you?

0:02:000:02:03

I have a 1760 blue and white from

0:02:030:02:06

-the Dutch royal house from 1760.

-How fantastic.

0:02:060:02:10

-Who's going to be in charge today? AMELIA:

-I'm always in charge.

0:02:100:02:13

-ROSIE:

-As I've said, I always do what I'm told.

0:02:130:02:16

Isn't that true with all mothers and daughters?

0:02:160:02:18

The daughter is always in charge. And what about tactics?

0:02:180:02:21

-Well, if we don't fall out, we might do well.

-Have you ever fallen out?

0:02:210:02:25

-Never.

-Daily!

0:02:250:02:26

And on that note,

0:02:260:02:28

-off to the Blues. We have great friends Amy and Rebecca.

-Hello.

0:02:280:02:32

-You're both police officers? Is that how you met?

-Yeah.

0:02:320:02:36

I joined the police force ten years ago

0:02:360:02:38

and Rebecca was already a police officer on the shift that I joined.

0:02:380:02:42

What's your specific role in the police force?

0:02:420:02:45

I work in neighbour policing, and Amy's a detective.

0:02:450:02:47

-You're a detective?

-I am, yeah.

0:02:470:02:49

-So you're quite intellectual, are you?

-I'd like to think so.

0:02:490:02:54

-Most of the time.

-Now, Rebecca, when you're not on the beat, what do you like doing?

0:02:540:02:57

Well, most of my time is spent with my children, to be honest,

0:02:570:03:00

which I enjoy doing, and spending time with them,

0:03:000:03:03

-and taking them places.

-Marvellous.

0:03:030:03:05

Now, going on to the antiques. What do you like?

0:03:050:03:07

I like perfume, so I like the perfume bottles.

0:03:070:03:10

I've got 15 perfumes on the go at the moment,

0:03:100:03:12

and I'll probably keep about five of them bottles.

0:03:120:03:15

-15 perfumes on the go?

-I like to have a nice choice in the morning,

0:03:150:03:18

when I get up. What do I want to smell like? So...

0:03:180:03:21

Hang on. Hang on. Oh, I like today's.

0:03:210:03:24

What about you, Rebecca?

0:03:240:03:26

-I don't know too much about antiques...

-Good start!

0:03:260:03:29

..but I like a good nosy round the shops.

0:03:290:03:31

I don't live that far from Lovejoy country,

0:03:310:03:34

so there's lots of antiques round that way. So I like to have a look.

0:03:340:03:36

-I like jewellery, I like fashion.

-Lots of things?

-Yeah.

0:03:360:03:40

So, who's going to be captain of the team?

0:03:400:03:42

-Probably Amy.

-Me.

0:03:420:03:43

-Who's going to be superintendent?

-Probably me.

-You?

0:03:430:03:45

Now, if you're going to go shopping, girls, what will you need?

0:03:450:03:49

-ALL:

-Money!

-Absolutely, and I've got it.

0:03:490:03:53

-I've got 300 smackers for you, girls.

-Thank you very much.

0:03:530:03:55

And superintendent, I have £300 for you.

0:03:550:04:00

-Thank you.

-Off you go.

0:04:000:04:01

Shop away! I think this looks like being an absolute belter!

0:04:010:04:06

We have two select experts helping two sets of Reds and Blues today.

0:04:060:04:11

Hoping to put the P into profit for the Reds, it's Philip Serrell.

0:04:110:04:16

And she won't be lounging around for long.

0:04:160:04:19

It's Christina Trevanion for the Blues.

0:04:190:04:21

-So, what are we looking for? Amy?

-Something small and pretty, I think.

0:04:210:04:24

A perfume bottle, maybe.

0:04:240:04:26

-Right, because you're a bit of a perfume fan, aren't you?

-Yes.

0:04:260:04:29

For me, it's not anything specific.

0:04:290:04:31

I know what I like, so if something catches my eye that's a bit

0:04:310:04:33

-different...

-What do you like?

-I like military items, I like

0:04:330:04:38

-vintage items, clothing.

-Yep.

0:04:380:04:39

-So,

-what do you think? Jewellery, silverware. Something a bit quirky!

0:04:390:04:43

Girls after my own heart! I love it.

0:04:430:04:46

-Is there a plan?

-Well, we'll have to see what we like, I think.

0:04:460:04:49

Quirky, maybe, and a bit different.

0:04:490:04:52

Right, teams. Your time starts now...

0:04:520:04:56

BELL DINGS ..and they're off.

0:04:560:04:58

-Come on. Let's get going.

-Let's go!

0:04:580:05:01

Let's see if we can find a modest Ferrari, or something.

0:05:030:05:06

Good luck with that.

0:05:060:05:10

'Ello, 'ello, 'ello. What have we here, then?

0:05:100:05:13

Oh, there's a little policeman!

0:05:130:05:15

Hey, this looks like a really quirky shop, doesn't it?

0:05:150:05:18

-And the police sign over there.

-Where's that?

-Just there.

0:05:180:05:21

Oh, yeah! Very appropriate.

0:05:210:05:23

A bit of a police sign going on.

0:05:230:05:25

So, what would that have gone on originally?

0:05:250:05:27

Maybe a fence, or something?

0:05:270:05:29

-VENDOR: Back of a motorbike.

-Back of a motorbike.

0:05:290:05:32

-A police motorbike?

-That's pretty cool though, isn't it?

0:05:320:05:34

The blue is very fitting.

0:05:340:05:35

Maybe we could take these off and make it a necklace.

0:05:350:05:38

-I'm going to continue looking if that's all right.

-OK. fair enough.

0:05:380:05:41

A wise decision, I think, Blues.

0:05:410:05:43

Now, Reds, are you about to clean up with your first item?

0:05:430:05:46

-Do you mind me enquiring about these suitcases?

-Yeah?

0:05:460:05:49

-Do you know about them?

-They're not suitcases, more boxes, aren't they?

0:05:490:05:52

-Boxes.

-They are laundry cases, So, when people would

0:05:520:05:54

take their laundry to Wolverhampton,

0:05:540:05:57

that's how they would get it back.

0:05:570:05:59

Apparently, in 1890s, 1900s,

0:05:590:06:01

it was the biggest place that employed women in England.

0:06:010:06:05

-Oh, right. So there's a bit of history to it, really?

-That's right.

0:06:050:06:08

That's what they're most known for.

0:06:080:06:10

And are they coming as a package?

0:06:100:06:14

You could have them separate if you like.

0:06:140:06:16

-What are you talking about, price-wise?

-£35 each.

0:06:160:06:19

-Can I just say something to you?

-Go on, then.

0:06:190:06:21

If you look at those, the one at the front looks to me

0:06:210:06:25

-like it's quite cool, 1950s, early

-'60s. The other one's modern.

0:06:250:06:28

-The other one is 1980s. I like the old one.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:06:280:06:33

Probably because we're of similar age.

0:06:330:06:36

Speak for yourself, please!

0:06:360:06:37

But I think that's a quite a cool thing, though.

0:06:370:06:40

-People like them for displays, decor.

-Can we have a look at this?

0:06:400:06:44

-Any holes in it, or bumps, or...

-You're welcome to have a look.

0:06:440:06:47

What's the very, very best on it? This is the painful bit.

0:06:470:06:51

I know, very, very painful. £30?

0:06:510:06:54

See, that was said as though it was a question, wasn't it?

0:06:540:06:57

-Not a statement.

-I was trying to be very polite.

0:06:570:07:00

Well, you'll probably say no to £20, will you?

0:07:000:07:02

-I will say no to £20, I'm afraid.

-Would you meet halfway, though?

0:07:020:07:05

-That's what I was going to say. £25?

-£25?

0:07:050:07:08

Have a look. Have a look,

0:07:080:07:09

and make sure you're actually happy with it before you agree on a price.

0:07:090:07:13

Right, let's just have a look. As I say, what we're looking at here

0:07:130:07:16

is a very expensive cardboard box.

0:07:160:07:20

-That's about what it is.

-Has it got any dates on it?

-1951.

0:07:200:07:23

-You were spot on!

-Yeah.

-Yeah, we'd like to take that, please.

-Yeah?

0:07:230:07:28

-25, is that all right?

-That's fine.

-Thank you, very much.

0:07:280:07:30

-Good luck with it.

-Thank you!

0:07:300:07:34

So, that's one box for the Reds

0:07:340:07:36

and it looks like the Blues have found a box of their own.

0:07:360:07:39

-Want to have a look at this? Christina?

-What's that, darling?

0:07:390:07:43

-Altrincham Police, 1936.

-Oh, wow. How appropriate.

0:07:430:07:48

I'm not entirely sure what it would have been used for.

0:07:480:07:51

Perhaps a notebook? And some...

0:07:510:07:53

I'm really surprised that you've just taken the cover...

0:07:530:07:56

I would have expected a hinged lid.

0:07:560:07:57

Really beautiful oak box, which possibly would have been...

0:07:570:08:00

I mean, there's still a card in there,

0:08:000:08:02

but I would have said it probably would have been a cigar box,

0:08:020:08:05

because it's obviously a presentation piece.

0:08:050:08:07

You've got this lovely shield on the front here,

0:08:070:08:09

which has been engraved.

0:08:090:08:10

Altrincham Police, 1936.

0:08:100:08:13

So, 1936, just coming towards

0:08:130:08:14

the end of the Art Deco period, and we can see that by its form,

0:08:140:08:17

if you look at that lovely chamfered top on there.

0:08:170:08:20

-Now, any moulding missing, if you have a good look around it?

-No.

0:08:200:08:24

-OK. How much is that?

-I've got £45 on it.

0:08:240:08:29

I think, really, if you want to make a profit on it, you want to be

0:08:290:08:32

-nudging it towards the £20 region.

-Would you take £20 for it?

0:08:320:08:35

-Definitely not.

-What's the best price you could do us?

0:08:350:08:38

The best price for me or the best price for you?

0:08:380:08:40

-The best price for us?

-The best price for you,

0:08:400:08:43

-probably £30.

-Meet us in the middle at £25.

0:08:430:08:45

-Could we just nudge you that £5 less?

-Ooh. The pain.

0:08:450:08:50

-You are pushing, but you have a deal.

-Thank you, very much.

0:08:500:08:53

-Have we just bought something?

-Yeah!

0:08:530:08:56

Well done, girls. Speedy Gonzales.

0:08:560:08:59

I'm going to have to watch you two, I can tell.

0:08:590:09:02

-Right, let's go.

-OK.

0:09:020:09:06

Speedy indeed. And for just £25.

0:09:060:09:07

Now, both teams have ticked a box, quite literally.

0:09:070:09:10

So, it's one apiece with just over ten minutes on the clock.

0:09:100:09:13

Well, Reds. What's next?

0:09:130:09:16

I think we should look for something

0:09:160:09:18

different, and this is certainly different.

0:09:180:09:21

-I'm not too sure I know what it is.

-I was about to say,

0:09:210:09:23

do you know what it is?

0:09:230:09:24

It's got Eton College here, 1927 football club.

0:09:240:09:28

All the players.

0:09:280:09:29

ECFC? EC...?

0:09:290:09:31

-Eton College?

-Eton, maybe?

-That would be nice, wouldn't it?

0:09:310:09:34

All those names.

0:09:340:09:35

Well, it's got the wall game over here, so it probably must be.

0:09:350:09:38

-It's worth a risk, maybe.

-So, if you buy this, what you do with it?

0:09:380:09:41

-Oh, yeah.

-Well, I think someone who's interested maybe has possibly

0:09:410:09:44

been to Eton, or has contacts, or whatever, might be interested.

0:09:440:09:47

What you don't want to be doing is buying a Doulton jug,

0:09:470:09:50

-that... Everybody can look up the price of a Doulton jug.

-Yeah.

0:09:500:09:53

I've never seen anything like this in my life before,

0:09:530:09:55

So, what's it worth? I haven't got a clue.

0:09:550:09:57

It could be cheap at £150. It could be cheap at £50.

0:09:570:10:00

It could be cheap at £300. I really, really don't know.

0:10:000:10:02

But I think it's such fun.

0:10:020:10:04

-How much is this, please?

-£150, sir.

0:10:040:10:06

What's the absolute finish on it?

0:10:090:10:11

It needs to clear £120. The best price.

0:10:110:10:13

-So, £120 is it.

-Absolutely.

-Can I ask you to do a favour for us?

0:10:130:10:17

Could you just hang onto it for us for about 35 minutes?

0:10:170:10:20

-Yeah, that's fine.

-Right. Let's go and have a think.

0:10:200:10:22

-Thank you very much indeed.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:10:220:10:26

CHARLIE: I'd keep that one in mind, then, Reds. Now, Blues.

0:10:260:10:28

Are you BOBBIN' along nicely?

0:10:280:10:30

A sewing machine. Yeah.

0:10:300:10:32

It's slightly difficult thing to sell at auction,

0:10:320:10:34

to be perfectly honest.

0:10:340:10:35

And they don't tend to sell for a huge amount of money.

0:10:350:10:38

Having said that, that is probably the most beautiful case

0:10:380:10:41

-I've ever seen. And, darling, it's a Premier.

-Premier.

0:10:410:10:44

It's not just any old sewing machine, it's a Premier.

0:10:440:10:47

No, it's nice that you've got this mother of pearl inlay on here.

0:10:470:10:50

It's a lovely thing. How much have you got on your sewing machine?

0:10:500:10:53

£75 because it's quite unusual and the case

0:10:530:10:56

has been restored.

0:10:560:10:58

What would be your very best price on it, Johnny?

0:10:580:11:00

-To give me a small profit, £55.

-£55.

0:11:000:11:05

At auction you're probably looking at £30-£50.

0:11:050:11:07

-OK.

-OK.

0:11:070:11:09

-OK. What do you think?

-No, then.

-No?

0:11:090:11:10

-Yeah, it's no.

-Let's move on. Come on, girls.

0:11:100:11:13

Back on the beat, then, Blues.

0:11:160:11:18

But with nearly 30 minutes left,

0:11:180:11:20

you might need to turn on your blue lights.

0:11:200:11:23

So, Reds, what's the plan?

0:11:230:11:26

Now, then. Let's just take a bit of a rain check.

0:11:260:11:30

We've bought the first lot.

0:11:300:11:32

That case, which I thought was really, really lovely. I liked that.

0:11:320:11:35

The "but" is, we've only got six minutes before that bloke

0:11:350:11:37

puts his Eton College thing back on his floor,

0:11:370:11:40

so, I think we need to decide, do we want that, or don't we?

0:11:400:11:43

-You like it, don't you?

-I like it.

0:11:430:11:46

It's that kill or cure thing.

0:11:460:11:48

I think it's a nice... I like it because you can't put a price on it.

0:11:480:11:51

You know, that could make £50.

0:11:510:11:53

It could make £200 and it could make anywhere between.

0:11:530:11:56

But I think it's a fun thing.

0:11:560:11:58

And I think the fact that you like it means to me that I'd buy it.

0:11:580:12:00

-And it's a bit different!

-Yeah.

-Maybe we should go for it, then.

0:12:000:12:03

Yeah, OK.

0:12:030:12:04

Go and seal the deal, then, Reds.

0:12:040:12:07

Hello? What has our detective sniffed out?

0:12:070:12:09

Oh, look! Perfume bottles!

0:12:090:12:13

-Now, who was the perfume fan?

-Me.

-Amy.

0:12:130:12:15

So, we've got some perfume bottles here and if we look at construction

0:12:150:12:18

of this, this is a moulded glass piece rather than

0:12:180:12:22

a cut glass piece,

0:12:220:12:23

so instantly it says to us that the

0:12:230:12:25

quality isn't as good as it could be. OK.

0:12:250:12:28

And the reason we can tell it's a moulded glass piece

0:12:280:12:30

is that we've actually got a seam line down there.

0:12:300:12:32

So that has been made in a mould, molten glass,

0:12:320:12:35

pressed together in a mould and then that's how it's been made. OK.

0:12:350:12:38

-All right.

-I don't like the look of it.

-No. I don't.

-OK. All right.

0:12:380:12:41

Let's move on.

0:12:410:12:43

And the Reds are back for the Eton display cabinet.

0:12:430:12:46

Hello.

0:12:460:12:48

-Thank you.

-You'll have that?

-Yeah, we'll have them.

0:12:480:12:50

-Thank you very much, indeed.

-Pleasure.

-We just bought them.

0:12:500:12:52

-Thank you. Yay!

-We'll be back later on.

0:12:520:12:54

-Right, on to the next now, then.

-Right on time.

0:12:540:12:57

Crumbs! No fuss with that buy. £120 for their second item.

0:12:570:13:01

-Maybe the Blues can smell a profit at this stall.

-Right.

0:13:030:13:07

-That's really nice.

-Heh. Look at this.

0:13:070:13:10

Oh, my goodness.

0:13:100:13:11

-AMY GASPS

-It's got the little stopper thing.

0:13:110:13:14

Yeah.

0:13:140:13:15

We've got a magic stopper. OK. So this,

0:13:150:13:17

even just not having a really close look at it,

0:13:170:13:19

the perfume bottle we were looking at before,

0:13:190:13:22

it's kind of the bicycle of the perfume bottle world.

0:13:220:13:27

-This is the Rolls-Royce.

-Is it?

0:13:270:13:29

This is the piece de resistance.

0:13:290:13:31

Look at this fabulous decoration. I'd say it's got to be Victorian.

0:13:310:13:35

And that cover there, engraved with a lily.

0:13:350:13:38

Language of flowers - Lily, I think, is for remembrance.

0:13:380:13:41

-Amy likes lilies. That's her favourite flower.

-Ah!

0:13:410:13:45

And solid silver again.

0:13:450:13:46

We've got these hallmarks on here. Nice thing.

0:13:460:13:49

What have we got on that?

0:13:490:13:50

-Ooh!

-What is it? What is it?

0:13:500:13:53

-Did you want to spend big or spend small?

-Spend small.

0:13:530:13:57

-What is it? Ooh.

-£160.

0:13:570:13:59

Ouch!

0:13:590:14:01

What would it make though? Do think it would make anything?

0:14:010:14:03

You pay for quality and quality always sells.

0:14:030:14:07

I mean, at auction I would put it at maybe £80-120.

0:14:070:14:09

It's a beautiful thing. But what do you think of it?

0:14:090:14:11

-I really like it.

-I really like it.

-What would be your

0:14:110:14:14

very, very best price on that beautiful scent bottle,

0:14:140:14:16

my darling?

0:14:160:14:18

Oh, she's looking cross.

0:14:180:14:21

No, it's the sun!

0:14:210:14:23

I'm bedazzled!

0:14:230:14:25

How about £110?

0:14:250:14:27

-Excellent!

-Because I was going to ask her.

0:14:270:14:30

-CHRISTINA MUTTERS

-OK!

0:14:300:14:32

Oh, Blues. You can haggle better than that!

0:14:320:14:35

Let's have a little chat about this, shall we?

0:14:350:14:39

That's why she's the expert, and I know nothing.

0:14:390:14:41

If we can try to nudge it under the £100,

0:14:410:14:44

I'd be a very happy bunny.

0:14:440:14:45

Is there any, any, any chance we could nudge it

0:14:450:14:48

under the hundred?

0:14:480:14:49

£98.

0:14:490:14:51

-£95.

-£95.

0:14:510:14:52

-Come on, £95.

-Brilliant. You're an angel.

0:14:520:14:55

Well done, Christina. Show them how it's done.

0:14:550:14:58

Perfume bottle got! Well done.

0:14:580:15:01

And that, honestly, is the nicest perfume bottle I've ever seen.

0:15:010:15:04

-Really?

-It is beautiful.

-Oh.

-Well done, girls.

-Yes!

-Right. Come on.

0:15:040:15:07

Let's go.

0:15:070:15:09

So, that's two in the bag with 20 minutes left on the clock.

0:15:090:15:13

-How are the Reds doing, Phil?

-I think they've done really well.

0:15:130:15:16

Bought two bits early on. Decisive. Job's done.

0:15:160:15:19

Splendid.

0:15:190:15:20

Now, it looks like the Blues have got their hands on some silver.

0:15:200:15:24

-Now, that is rather splendid, isn't it?

-It is. I do like that.

0:15:250:15:29

That is beautiful.

0:15:290:15:30

Beautiful thing. Out of budget. Put it back.

0:15:300:15:33

Oh, lawks! You tell 'em, Christina.

0:15:330:15:36

-OK. So, if nothing floats your boat...

-No.

-..what's our plan?

0:15:360:15:39

We've only got ten minutes left and I'm feeling a little bit antsy.

0:15:390:15:42

I know. I know. I think, well, I haven't liked anything

0:15:420:15:45

as much as I like the sewing machine.

0:15:450:15:47

-Ah. OK. The one we saw at the start?

-With the box.

0:15:470:15:49

I love the box, as well, with it.

0:15:490:15:50

So, given that we've only got ten minutes, then let's go get it.

0:15:500:15:53

That's very unusual. The sewing machine's floating your boat.

0:15:530:15:56

I know. Totally unlike me.

0:15:560:15:58

I don't mend stuff and sew stuff, but I like it.

0:15:580:16:01

-OK. All right. Let's go. Let's hope it's still there.

-Yeah.

-Yes.

0:16:010:16:04

Off you go, then, Blues.

0:16:040:16:06

Now, Reds. You also need to bag your final item.

0:16:060:16:09

-Is that a post office bag?

-That's right.

0:16:090:16:12

And most people think they are doctor's bags.

0:16:120:16:14

-Gladstones, aren't they?

-That's right.

0:16:140:16:17

You can see this heavy lined leather interior. Nice and secure.

0:16:170:16:22

Nice and sturdy.

0:16:220:16:23

After all these years, to get that.

0:16:230:16:25

Is that about 1950s?

0:16:250:16:27

-It would be earlier than '50s...

-Yeah?

0:16:270:16:29

..because you can tell by the actual fittings and the construction.

0:16:290:16:33

-You could use it as a handbag, couldn't you?

-I could.

0:16:330:16:36

-I would, as well!

-How much is it, that's the key?

0:16:360:16:38

This wouldn't be out of the way at around about £75.

0:16:380:16:42

-It's the "about" bit, isn't it?

-Yes, yes. What would be your best price?

0:16:420:16:47

If we were talking about cash and giving me

0:16:470:16:49

-a little bit of profit, we'd be talking about 60.

-OK.

-About.

0:16:490:16:54

-It's that would "about".

-55 or 60?

-I was thinking 50.

0:16:540:16:59

-It's too near to what it cost me.

-55?

0:16:590:17:04

If it's going to help you,

0:17:060:17:08

and you're definitely going to get more than 55.

0:17:080:17:13

I'd love a pound for every time someone said that to me!

0:17:130:17:17

-You really like that, don't you?

-I really like it.

0:17:170:17:20

Really like it, but will we make any money?

0:17:200:17:22

I think it'll make between probably £30 and £60.

0:17:220:17:26

-That would be the top end.

-Yeah, but you like it, that's the issue.

0:17:260:17:29

-I do really like it.

-What I think you should do, hang onto it.

0:17:290:17:33

This gentleman has nice things on his stall.

0:17:330:17:35

Let's look at the rest of his stall. Hold on to it, don't let go.

0:17:350:17:40

Thanks very much.

0:17:400:17:42

I wouldn't wait too long, Reds, time's ticking on.

0:17:430:17:47

Come on, girls, let's go, we're running out of time.

0:17:470:17:50

So, Blues, put those blue lights on and sew up your final item.

0:17:500:17:55

-Ah, I see it. It's still there.

-Yes, it is.

-Hello.

-Back again.

0:17:550:18:00

You've had a good scout around

0:18:000:18:02

and obviously you've made a good decision.

0:18:020:18:04

-Well, not as yet.

-Would you take 40?

0:18:040:18:07

I can't do that, I'm afraid. I would be making a loss.

0:18:070:18:10

-Obviously, I do have a few overhead costs myself.

-Sure.

0:18:100:18:14

What would your very best price be, Johnny?

0:18:140:18:16

Well, it's going to be 50 because I paid the lady 45 for this, you see,

0:18:160:18:20

and that just gives me a little contribution towards my costs.

0:18:200:18:23

-I'm trying to help you out as much as I can.

-We appreciate that.

0:18:230:18:26

I think at 45, we stand a fighting chance

0:18:260:18:29

and then you don't have to lug it home with you.

0:18:290:18:31

And you've got space in the van to buy something else with that 45.

0:18:310:18:35

It's a very kind offer.

0:18:350:18:36

Very kind offer and I see where you're coming from

0:18:360:18:39

but I'm going to decline on that

0:18:390:18:40

because I have to be a bit more disciplined about my costs.

0:18:400:18:43

-Oh, my goodness.

-48?

0:18:430:18:46

-Well, I tell you what.

-Everybody loves a tryer.

0:18:460:18:50

For your efforts and your sheer determination,

0:18:500:18:52

I'm going to say yes to 48.

0:18:520:18:53

Yay! Thank you.

0:18:530:18:55

A big improvement on your haggling skills, Blues. Job done.

0:18:550:18:59

Yes! Fantastic, well done.

0:18:590:19:02

Reds, you need one more item.

0:19:020:19:05

Right, we've got about three minutes left

0:19:050:19:07

and we've spent £145 on two items.

0:19:070:19:09

What are your thoughts?

0:19:090:19:11

I've just seen that gramophone there and the gentleman on the stall

0:19:110:19:14

says it's £150 and is in working order, but he is open to offers.

0:19:140:19:18

It's your decision.

0:19:180:19:20

Time is ticking!

0:19:200:19:22

I think we should probably go with the bag

0:19:220:19:24

and then you've got some left-over dosh to find something nice.

0:19:240:19:27

£200 you spent, three items.

0:19:270:19:28

The thing is, I think we bought three items all of us like,

0:19:280:19:31

-haven't we?

-I think so, yeah.

0:19:310:19:33

-We're happy.

-Off you go.

-OK, brilliant.

0:19:330:19:38

Did you ever think that you'd come out and buy a box,

0:19:380:19:40

-a perfume bottle and a sewing machine?

-No!

0:19:400:19:44

-The Blues can celebrate as they've finished.

-Let's go.

0:19:440:19:47

The Reds are also about to finish, if that bag hasn't been sold.

0:19:470:19:51

-It's still here.

-Phew!

0:19:510:19:53

Thank you very much.

0:19:530:19:54

I hope you do very well. KLAXON

0:19:540:19:56

Right, team, the race is over.

0:19:560:19:59

Your time is up.

0:19:590:20:01

I think you've done really, really well

0:20:010:20:02

and just by the skin of your teeth.

0:20:020:20:04

-Oh, thank God for that.

-Let's go.

-Come on then. Thank you.

-Bye.

0:20:040:20:09

We now need to race ahead to Richard Winterton Auctioneers in Lichfield,

0:20:090:20:13

but before we sell, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.

0:20:130:20:17

First up at £25,

0:20:180:20:20

will the Reds be hung out to dry with this laundry box?

0:20:200:20:23

Next up, will they have something to show with this display cabinet?

0:20:250:20:29

£120 paid.

0:20:290:20:32

Finally, will this £55 GPO bag deliver a first-class profit?

0:20:320:20:37

-Well, girls, somehow, you managed to spend £200, didn't you?

-We did.

0:20:400:20:44

Not sure about the items, but we definitely did.

0:20:440:20:46

Anyway, this gave the great man £100. What have you done?

0:20:460:20:49

I wanted to be colour-coded.

0:20:490:20:51

-Oh, wow! What's that?

-It's a...

-What?

0:20:520:20:55

-It looks like a coal scuttle, or something.

-A leather fire bucket.

0:20:550:20:59

-Oh, OK.

-Right. And it cost me £50.

0:20:590:21:01

And I just love it. New handle. Have a look.

0:21:010:21:04

-Would that be from the fire station, or someone's house?

-Country house.

0:21:040:21:08

-Oh, right.

-It's probably the back end of the 18th century,

0:21:080:21:10

-I would think.

-OK.

-They've fallen a little bit out of favour

0:21:100:21:14

but they used to be £200-£300.

0:21:140:21:17

What do you think it will make these days?

0:21:170:21:19

-I think, if we have a half decent day, it's £50-£80.

-OK.

0:21:190:21:22

But it's just a nice thing.

0:21:220:21:24

Well, we'll see what the ladies decide later on.

0:21:240:21:27

Now for the Blues.

0:21:270:21:28

Let's remind ourselves what they bought with their £300 budget.

0:21:280:21:32

Our girls in Blue hit the beat and paid £25 for this police box.

0:21:340:21:38

Next, they followed the scent

0:21:390:21:42

and sniffed out this perfume bottle for £95.

0:21:420:21:45

Finally, their shop was all stitched up with this sewing machine at £48.

0:21:470:21:52

-Well, girls, exciting shopping?

-Definitely.

-Marvellous.

0:21:540:21:58

-And you spent £168.

-We did.

0:21:580:22:01

That left young Christina with £132.

0:22:010:22:04

Rather too much, I would have thought.

0:22:040:22:07

-What did you do with it, Christina?

-Well, darling, old habits die hard.

0:22:070:22:12

-A ring!

-Wow!

-I like that.

0:22:120:22:15

It is a silver-gilt, it's not platinum, or gold,

0:22:150:22:18

dress ring, which is in the belle epoque style. French style.

0:22:180:22:22

Early 20th century. Late 19th century.

0:22:220:22:24

Set with, obviously, three stones, within the stone set surround.

0:22:240:22:27

-There we go. Have a little look.

-Lovely. Very sparkly.

0:22:270:22:29

-I like the shape of it.

-Yeah.

-That's fabulous.

-It's not diamonds.

0:22:290:22:33

It's not diamonds. No. And that was reflected in the price that I paid.

0:22:330:22:38

How much did you pay for it?

0:22:380:22:39

-I spent £25 on it.

-Yes. That's good.

0:22:390:22:42

I think at auction, I would hope it would fetch, maybe, £40-60, £50-£70.

0:22:420:22:47

Beautiful, yes, but has Christina chosen well?

0:22:470:22:50

The Blues can decide after the sale of their three items.

0:22:500:22:53

And talking of sale,

0:22:550:22:56

Richard Winterton, the auctioneer is about to start.

0:22:560:22:59

-Are you excited, girls?

-Absolutely.

-We can't wait.

-You can't wait.

0:23:010:23:04

-Have you ever been to an auction before?

-Not like this.

0:23:040:23:07

-I have. Not this one. Car auctions, but not ones like this.

-Car auction?

0:23:070:23:11

-This is nothing like a car auction, is it, Philip?

-Not at all, Charles.

0:23:110:23:15

-Not at all.

-OK, girls, here comes the laundry box.

0:23:150:23:18

Laundry box there.

0:23:180:23:19

Wolverhampton Steam Laundry Ltd.

0:23:190:23:22

Nothing on my book to start us. Where are we going to be?

0:23:220:23:25

Tense moment.

0:23:250:23:26

£8, I'm bid. £8, I'm bid.

0:23:260:23:29

15, I'm bid, internet.

0:23:290:23:32

-£15, the internet.

-Internet!

-It's the internet!

-£20, internet.

0:23:320:23:37

-Come on, come on!

-Ooh! the excitement of it all.

0:23:370:23:40

£20. The internet at £20.

0:23:400:23:42

Anyone from Wolverhampton in the room? Come on!

0:23:420:23:46

£20! All finished.

0:23:460:23:48

Sold at £20.

0:23:480:23:49

-Well...

-You've only lost a fiver.

0:23:510:23:53

It could be a lot worse. That's less than the cost of cleaning a sheet.

0:23:530:23:57

Here we go. The Eton College rules.

0:23:570:24:00

Ooh! let's see what happens with this.

0:24:000:24:02

The framed screen now.

0:24:020:24:04

Various Eton College library rules on there. Nothing on my book.

0:24:040:24:07

So, where are you going to be? I'm in your hands. £15, I'm bid.

0:24:070:24:10

-How much?

-£15.

-This needs to go a bit. Come on.

0:24:100:24:13

At the 15 bid.

0:24:130:24:14

Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

0:24:140:24:16

-£20.

-Only 100 to go.

0:24:160:24:20

-£20. Internet going to let us down?

-Oh, no!

0:24:200:24:24

Obviously, Eton boys are not sitting there watching the internet today.

0:24:240:24:27

Finished and closed. £20.

0:24:270:24:30

-Girls, that's just a cool hundred you've lost there.

-Never mind.

0:24:310:24:35

Down 105, at the moment.

0:24:350:24:36

What about the Gladstone bag? It's coming up now.

0:24:360:24:40

GPO, the Gladstone bag. Always popular. £8, I'm bid.

0:24:400:24:43

£10, 15, 20, 25, in the room.

0:24:430:24:47

25, £30, the internet.

0:24:470:24:49

-It's coming on.

-Come on!

0:24:490:24:50

It's coming on. It's a rare lot this, isn't it?

0:24:500:24:52

£40, the room.

0:24:520:24:54

-Now we're going.

-Just 15 more. Come on.

0:24:540:24:57

£40 on the room. All out? Sold at £40!

0:24:570:25:00

Goes at 40. Thank you.

0:25:000:25:02

-Oh, minus 15.

-Another loss.

-Minus 105. You're only down £120.

0:25:020:25:06

If you say it quickly, that's not a great deal.

0:25:060:25:10

-What's the opposite of a golden gavel?

-Yes. We want one.

0:25:100:25:13

Come on, now, think. Do you want to go with the fire bucket?

0:25:130:25:17

-I think we should. I like it. Again,...

-You're going with it?

0:25:170:25:21

Here we go. It's coming up right now. Come on, bucket.

0:25:210:25:25

19th-century red leather fire bucket there.

0:25:250:25:27

Bit of interest on this.

0:25:270:25:29

-Bit of interest.

-£20, I'm bid. Five, 30. Five, with me at 35.

0:25:290:25:34

Creaming along now.

0:25:340:25:36

35. £40 in the front. £40.

0:25:360:25:40

-Come on. Go on.

-At £40.

0:25:400:25:42

Come on. Just two more.

0:25:420:25:44

-You're all out here at 40. All finished? 40!

-Think that's it.

0:25:440:25:48

£40!

0:25:480:25:50

-It's been a really good day, this, Charlie.

-This has been a cracker.

0:25:500:25:52

-In a nutshell, girls, you have lost £130.

-Is that all?

0:25:520:25:57

Now, I don't want a word to the Blues because,

0:25:570:26:00

believe it or not, this could yet be a winning score.

0:26:000:26:04

Charlie, we're not going to mention this to anybody,

0:26:040:26:06

let alone the Blues!

0:26:060:26:08

-Right, girls, are you excited?

-Yes.

-Very excited?

-Yes.

0:26:160:26:19

-Ever been to an auction before?

-Never.

0:26:190:26:22

You could not be in safer hands than the great Christina.

0:26:220:26:25

Oh, my goodness!

0:26:250:26:26

She will guide you to profits untold.

0:26:260:26:28

So, first up, the stationary box.

0:26:290:26:32

The oak stationary box there.

0:26:320:26:34

Police, 1936, on the front.

0:26:340:26:36

Where are we going to be? Nothing on my book.

0:26:360:26:38

I'm in your hands. 20?

0:26:380:26:40

10? £8? 8. 10.

0:26:400:26:43

15. £20.

0:26:430:26:45

-25.

-Equal!

-30. 35, the internet. 35, the internet.

0:26:450:26:52

-Internet!

-£10 profit. That's fantastic. Big gosh!

0:26:520:26:55

£35!

0:26:550:26:56

Plus a tenner!

0:26:560:26:59

You know how to make money. Gosh!

0:26:590:27:01

I should give up that policing lark.

0:27:010:27:04

Here comes the scent bottle.

0:27:040:27:06

Now we go across to the perfume bottle. Now.

0:27:060:27:08

Silver-topped. Hinged top with it there.

0:27:080:27:11

£10, I'm bid.

0:27:120:27:14

15. 20. £20, I'm bid.

0:27:140:27:17

£20 I'm bid. With me. 25. 30. 35.

0:27:170:27:21

35 on my left. £40, the internet.

0:27:210:27:25

-45, the room.

-Getting better.

0:27:250:27:29

45, the room. 45, the room. On my left at 45!

0:27:290:27:32

You're all out? All done?

0:27:320:27:34

Minus 50 plus 10 means minus 40.

0:27:360:27:39

Don't worry about that.

0:27:390:27:41

It could be a hell of a lot worse.

0:27:410:27:42

Stop laughing. Think sewing machine.

0:27:420:27:45

Moving now to the sewing machine there.

0:27:450:27:48

The Premier sewing machine.

0:27:480:27:50

Commission bids are left.

0:27:500:27:51

15, 20, 25!

0:27:510:27:55

25, not bad.

0:27:550:27:57

It's halfway there.

0:27:570:27:59

25, 30 in the room. 30 in the room.

0:27:590:28:01

-Internet, you are out now.

-We need some more sewers, don't we?

0:28:010:28:06

Sold, then,

0:28:060:28:08

at £30.

0:28:080:28:10

You've lost £58.

0:28:100:28:13

Which, in these terms, it's not too bad.

0:28:130:28:16

-Now, do you want to go with the bonus buy?

-Absolutely.

-Yes.

0:28:160:28:18

-Were going with it.

-Do you like it?

-Yes. We like it.

0:28:180:28:21

-We have faith in you. We're going with it.

-On that result, really?

0:28:210:28:25

-Yes.

-No.

-I have to say, I think you've done the right thing.

0:28:250:28:27

-Here we go.

-I don't think I can watch.

-This is the moment.

0:28:270:28:32

What a fab little silver-gilt ring.

0:28:320:28:34

You'd never know this wasn't the real thing.

0:28:340:28:36

Bit of interest on my book.

0:28:360:28:38

10, 15.

0:28:380:28:39

£20. 25, £30. 35. £40.

0:28:390:28:42

-£50 with me.

-Double your money!

0:28:420:28:45

At 50.

0:28:460:28:48

£50!

0:28:480:28:50

Yes!

0:28:500:28:52

-Well done.

-That's a huge result. That's plus 25.

0:28:520:28:55

You were down 58, which means you're only down £33.

0:28:550:28:58

-Oh, God! That's OK.

-Stunning, stunning work!

0:28:580:29:01

Never mind. I wanted to make some, but never mind.

0:29:010:29:04

-Girls, not a word to the Reds.

-No.

0:29:040:29:06

Well, losses all round today,

0:29:100:29:12

but the team with the smallest loss were the Blues at minus-£33.

0:29:120:29:16

Coming up: Will our next two teams rise to THEIR challenge?

0:29:160:29:20

Meanwhile, we're off to somewhere rather special.

0:29:220:29:24

Today I've come to Blakesley Hall,

0:29:300:29:33

built in 1590, which makes it one of the oldest buildings in Birmingham.

0:29:330:29:40

The man that built this house

0:29:430:29:45

on former farmland in the Birmingham suburb of Yardley

0:29:450:29:48

was Richard Smallbrook.

0:29:480:29:50

He was a wealthy merchant

0:29:500:29:52

and this is a statement of his new-found wealth.

0:29:520:29:55

There's a fascinating history

0:29:560:29:58

and I've come to meet Steve Spencer to find out more.

0:29:580:30:02

What a wonderful building!

0:30:020:30:03

So, what was the house like when it was first built?

0:30:030:30:06

It was modern and fashionable.

0:30:060:30:08

It was at a time when English domestic architecture

0:30:080:30:11

was moving away from the medieval style

0:30:110:30:14

and the central fireplace and one big room.

0:30:140:30:16

What specific external features have we got here?

0:30:160:30:20

Well, you have a lot of use of oak.

0:30:200:30:22

The more oak you used in a building, was a sign of your wealth.

0:30:220:30:25

Richard Smallbrook was very much showing off.

0:30:250:30:27

He was sort of the nouveau riche of Tudor England, if you like.

0:30:270:30:30

-The new money.

-And it's wealth. "Here I am, a merchant and look what I've done.

-Exactly.

0:30:300:30:34

-Perhaps we could go inside?

-Yes.

0:30:340:30:36

The Smallbrooks lived here until 1686.

0:30:370:30:41

After that, the building passed into the hands

0:30:410:30:43

of another local family who rented the adjoining land

0:30:430:30:46

to a succession of farmers.

0:30:460:30:48

The house and farm fell into disrepair

0:30:480:30:51

but the house was renovated in 1899 and then bought at auction

0:30:510:30:55

by Thomas Merry, a Birmingham paint and varnish manufacturer.

0:30:550:30:59

When he died in 1932, the house was put up for auction again

0:30:590:31:03

and in 1935, the house became a museum.

0:31:030:31:07

There was huge attention to detail with regard to the

0:31:070:31:10

outside of the house and the opulence of it all.

0:31:100:31:13

Is there the same sort of attention to detail inside?

0:31:130:31:17

Very much so. We have very high ceilings in this room

0:31:170:31:20

and throughout the ground floor. We have plastered ceilings.

0:31:200:31:24

In a farmhouse, the ceilings would be lower,

0:31:240:31:26

you'd see the floorboards above.

0:31:260:31:28

We have chamfered beams as well.

0:31:280:31:30

And also, we have a long gallery on the first floor, which again,

0:31:300:31:34

is very unusual for a house of this style.

0:31:340:31:37

The long gallery is somewhere where they would entertain.

0:31:370:31:40

They would hang paintings and they would even exercise and dance.

0:31:400:31:44

Steve, thank you so much for all that history.

0:31:440:31:46

Absolutely fascinating.

0:31:460:31:48

We're back in Peterborough, at the East Of England Showground.

0:31:500:31:53

Now we have a new set of Reds and Blues ready to take on the Bargain Hunt challenge.

0:31:530:31:58

-Do you like the glass?

-No.

0:31:580:32:00

She doesn't like it. I like it.

0:32:000:32:02

-It's just not my era of collection.

-No.

0:32:020:32:03

It's going to be an exciting one!

0:32:030:32:06

Mwah! How about that?

0:32:060:32:08

Well, let's meet today's teams. We've got four gorgeous girls today.

0:32:090:32:13

For the Reds, we have Dee and Jean

0:32:130:32:16

and for the Blues, we have Alison and Sarah.

0:32:160:32:18

-Hello, everyone. ALL:

-Hello!

0:32:180:32:19

Now, Dee, you used to be Jean's boss, I believe.

0:32:190:32:23

Yes. Many moons ago.

0:32:230:32:25

-That's how we first met.

-Is it?

-Yes.

-What were you doing?

0:32:250:32:28

I was a customer support manager for a large company in Peterborough

0:32:280:32:31

and Jean joined us to do a special product

0:32:310:32:34

which was the walk-in food centres, the big freezers.

0:32:340:32:37

-Right. Was she good at her job?

-Excellent.

-Was she?

0:32:370:32:40

-Without question.

-Marvellous. And what was she like as a boss?

0:32:400:32:43

-She was excellent.

-Oh, of course she was.

0:32:430:32:45

But I have to say that cos she's standing next to me.

0:32:450:32:48

THEY LAUGH Now, Dee, you're retired now,

0:32:480:32:50

but you are still serving the people of Whittlesey, aren't you?

0:32:500:32:52

Full-time job. I'm a town councillor for Whittlesey

0:32:520:32:56

and a district councillor for the Fenland area.

0:32:560:32:58

-Now, Jean, you're also retired, aren't you?

-I am, yes.

0:32:580:33:00

-So, what do you like doing?

-Well, I like shopping.

0:33:000:33:04

My friends say I'm a shopaholic.

0:33:040:33:06

I don't think I am, but they do say that.

0:33:060:33:08

-Today's your ideal day, isn't it?

-It is. A perfect day for me, yes.

0:33:080:33:11

How about antiques? Good at antiques?

0:33:110:33:13

I don't know a lot, but I know what I like.

0:33:130:33:16

Dee, where does your knowledge of antiques and collectables come from?

0:33:160:33:19

-I inherited silver. It's a labour of love.

-Mm.

0:33:190:33:22

-Takes me seven hours to clean about every eight weeks.

-Seven hours?

0:33:220:33:26

Yes, but it looks perfect. It's lovely.

0:33:260:33:29

Lots of memories to it, attached to it.

0:33:290:33:32

But I also like Waterford Crystal.

0:33:320:33:34

I'm not averse to diamonds and a bit of bling as well.

0:33:340:33:37

THEY LAUGH

0:33:370:33:39

I've never yet met a woman who's averse to diamonds.

0:33:390:33:42

-And who will be holding the purse strings?

-Me.

-Jean.

-Yeah.

0:33:420:33:45

You don't want to spend too much, do you?

0:33:450:33:48

-Well...

-Oh, yes, you do.

0:33:480:33:50

Well, you only have this experience once.

0:33:500:33:52

Well, thank you to the Red team. Now onto the Blues, Alison and Sarah.

0:33:520:33:56

Now, you're neighbours, aren't you?

0:33:560:33:57

-We live about two doors apart from each other.

-Do your families get on?

0:33:570:34:01

Our boys are both best friends, aren't they?

0:34:010:34:03

-Really?

-They are, yes. Same age.

0:34:030:34:04

-That's lovely.

-Used to be at the same school.

0:34:040:34:06

Now, Alison, you design toys for a living?

0:34:060:34:09

-Yes, I work on craft products for children.

-Oh, do you?

-Yes.

0:34:090:34:13

And it covers a wide range of craft products

0:34:130:34:15

-from chocolate products, jewellery, greetings cards...

-Hang on.

0:34:150:34:18

Let me stop you there. How can chocolate be a craft product?

0:34:180:34:21

Making lollipops, making coins,

0:34:210:34:24

making little cakes and things made from chocolate.

0:34:240:34:27

Oh, I see. I like things like that.

0:34:270:34:29

Now, Sarah, what do you do for a living?

0:34:290:34:31

I'm a receptionist at a large secondary school at the moment.

0:34:310:34:34

-Gosh. That must keep you busy.

-Very busy. Very, very busy.

-Gosh.

0:34:340:34:38

But prior to that, I was a freelance wedding florist,

0:34:380:34:41

so I still do a little bit of that.

0:34:410:34:42

So, what's it going to be like shopping together?

0:34:420:34:45

-Are you going to be in agreement?

-We do have similar tastes,

0:34:450:34:47

especially in the jewellery department.

0:34:470:34:49

-Yeah.

-We like similar things.

0:34:490:34:50

-We like quirky things.

-Will you be spending big?

0:34:500:34:52

-No, I don't think so.

-No, I think our strategy

0:34:520:34:54

is to spend smallish amounts of money.

0:34:540:34:57

We're not going to be too fixed in terms of the amount,

0:34:570:34:59

-but we don't want to be spending a huge amount on one item.

-OK.

0:34:590:35:03

Now, if you're going to go shopping, girls,

0:35:030:35:05

there's something you're missing.

0:35:050:35:07

-ALL:

-Money!

-Money. Absolutely. Here we go.

0:35:070:35:10

-300 for you and 300 for you girls. Off you go.

-Thank you.

0:35:100:35:16

One frugal, one spendthrift. Anybody's game.

0:35:160:35:20

Right, my girlie-wirlies,

0:35:250:35:26

what are we looking for today in the sunshine?

0:35:260:35:29

-It's gorgeous.

-Isn't it?

0:35:290:35:31

I'd like to find something quite individual, one-of-a-kind,

0:35:310:35:34

very attractive, unique.

0:35:340:35:36

-Silver jewellery.

-Right.

0:35:360:35:37

But obviously, knowing about the show field,

0:35:370:35:40

it's probably expensive.

0:35:400:35:42

I'm looking for something functional for the house.

0:35:420:35:44

-Right.

-Something that can be used.

0:35:440:35:45

I think small things, quirky things,

0:35:450:35:49

-something perhaps a bit shiny as well for my friend.

-Shiny things!

0:35:490:35:53

Now, teams, no time for clowning around.

0:35:530:35:56

Your time starts...now. BELL RINGS

0:35:560:35:58

-Do you know what I think we should buy?

-What?

-A profit.

0:35:580:36:01

-Yes!

-Come on.

0:36:010:36:02

-We've got a long list, haven't we?

-Yes, we have.

-Let's go.

0:36:020:36:04

-Go, Phil. Go, Phil.

-THEY LAUGH

0:36:040:36:07

I said no clowning around, Reds.

0:36:070:36:09

If you want to spend a penny, they're ideal, aren't they?

0:36:160:36:18

-Brilliant.

-THEY LAUGH

0:36:180:36:20

-Well, actually, it could be a water planter.

-Well...

0:36:200:36:23

Phil, you've got your work cut out here.

0:36:230:36:25

-OK, right, what do we think? What do we think?

-These trunks.

0:36:250:36:28

-This one. I quite like this metal one.

-Trunks.

0:36:280:36:30

-What's the difference, do you think, in terms of...?

-Trunks. Why trunks?

0:36:300:36:33

-What is it you love about trunks?

-Well, they're useful for storage.

0:36:330:36:36

-Blanket box and, you know, under-the-bed toy box.

-Yes.

0:36:360:36:39

They've kind of got that vintage look, haven't they?

0:36:390:36:41

-But that looks... It looks... It's solid.

-It is.

0:36:410:36:44

And it's actually wooden bound, so it's a steamer trunk

0:36:440:36:46

and it's got a nice luggage label on the bottom saying

0:36:460:36:49

Union-Castle Line from South and East Africa.

0:36:490:36:53

-That's a well-travelled trunk, isn't it? I like that.

-Yes, it is.

0:36:530:36:56

-Why don't we find out how much it is?

-Yeah, OK.

0:36:560:36:59

Is this yours, sir? How much have you got on it?

0:36:590:37:01

-MAN:

-I want £50.

-£50.

0:37:010:37:04

-It's a nice thing, Bongo.

-Bongo?

-Ali Bongo.

0:37:040:37:08

-Bongo?

-I'm not sure about it.

-Did you call her Bongo?

0:37:080:37:11

-I think she did call her Bongo, Christina.

-Ali Bongo.

-Ali Bongo.

0:37:110:37:15

-It's just a friendship name, really.

-Bongo?

0:37:150:37:17

Would you be interested in coming down quite a bit lower?

0:37:170:37:20

-How about 40?

-How about 25?

-How about 30?

-25? 25?

0:37:200:37:25

-25? That's fine.

-Oh, gosh! Really?

-Yes.

-That'd be fantastic.

0:37:250:37:28

-Well, for 25, we'll take it.

-Hang on a second. What's going on?

0:37:280:37:31

-Is that all right?

-But you don't like it.

0:37:310:37:33

No, I think Sarah... We said one object for Sarah.

0:37:330:37:36

If she thinks she really likes it, I'm a good friend.

0:37:360:37:38

You can have it, if you want, for 25.

0:37:380:37:40

I don't think you'll find another one for as good a price.

0:37:400:37:42

Is that your lowest price? It is, yeah. You're very kind.

0:37:420:37:45

Could 20 clinch it?

0:37:450:37:46

I think 20's going to clinch it, yes.

0:37:460:37:48

-20's going to clinch it.

-20. We'll go for it.

0:37:480:37:50

-Are you happy, girls?

-Yes, yes, OK.

-Yes.

-How many minutes?

0:37:500:37:53

-Have we actually had a minute yet?

-We have to say thank you.

0:37:530:37:55

You've had five minutes, Christina.

0:37:550:37:57

Good on you, ladies. First item in the bag.

0:37:570:38:00

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you, Bongo.

0:38:000:38:02

-Thank you.

-Well done, Bongo.

-High-five.

0:38:020:38:05

This is terrifying. This is going to be over in ten minutes.

0:38:050:38:09

-Let's go. Let's go.

-OK, let's go.

0:38:090:38:10

Well, if you carry on at this rate.

0:38:100:38:13

Now, are the Reds about to lift the lid on their first item?

0:38:180:38:22

-How much is the box, please?

-The best on that's 30.

0:38:230:38:27

-Best?

-Yes, £30.

0:38:270:38:29

I think it's absolutely awful, right?

0:38:290:38:32

But I think there's a profit in that.

0:38:320:38:34

-Which do you think is older, that...

-DEE:

-Or you?

0:38:340:38:37

-..or me?

-You.

-You're right.

0:38:370:38:38

-SHE LAUGHS

-That's not old.

0:38:380:38:40

You've got a better eye than I thought you'd got.

0:38:400:38:43

Remember, Reds, it's your shop, not Phil's.

0:38:440:38:47

Have the Blues found something ooh-la-la?

0:38:480:38:51

It is signed by a French artist.

0:38:510:38:54

-His bronzes make thousands of pounds.

-You're joking.

0:38:540:38:58

It's going to be really expensive.

0:38:580:38:59

-WOMAN:

-It's not actually that expensive.

-Oh?

-No.

0:38:590:39:02

-I've got 180 on it.

-BOTH:

-Ooh!

0:39:020:39:05

The absolute death would be 120 for it.

0:39:050:39:08

It's quite unusual.

0:39:080:39:09

-It's pewter.

-Yes.

-It's been amazing...

0:39:090:39:12

-I mean, it is just wacky.

-Yes. Yes.

0:39:120:39:15

-If you're going for quirky...

-Yeah.

0:39:150:39:17

..that has got quirk blaring out of it.

0:39:170:39:20

But do you want to spend big, girls, or what do you want to do?

0:39:200:39:22

We did say we'd go for lower-priced objects,

0:39:220:39:24

but it's where the heart is, isn't it, sometimes?

0:39:240:39:27

-Do you love that?

-I mean, I think it's really...

-Yeah, I like that.

0:39:270:39:30

..amazing cos it's so unusual.

0:39:300:39:32

-Shall we come back to it?

-We could potentially find something

0:39:320:39:34

that we could maybe make a bit more money on,

0:39:340:39:36

-but we can certainly come back to it.

-OK.

0:39:360:39:38

These Blues are taking it all in their stride, aren't they?

0:39:380:39:41

Right, time's now coming we've got to buy something, ladies.

0:39:420:39:45

Not sure the same can be said for the Reds.

0:39:450:39:48

-I'm getting a bit panicky now.

-You're getting a bit panicky?

0:39:490:39:52

-I'm getting very panicky, let me tell you.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:39:520:39:54

Very, very panicky.

0:39:540:39:55

No need to panic yet.

0:39:550:39:57

You still have around 40 minutes on the clock. Just focus.

0:39:570:40:01

We need something cheap and profitable.

0:40:010:40:03

MAN LAUGHS

0:40:030:40:05

-Do you like that?

-I don't dislike it,

0:40:050:40:08

-but then, it's cleaning, isn't it?

-HE LAUGHS

0:40:080:40:10

I don't think people like to clean these days, do they?

0:40:100:40:12

That's the problem. It's sort of...

0:40:120:40:16

-It's always the price, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-It's always the price.

0:40:160:40:19

If I remember correctly, Dee spends hours cleaning her silverware.

0:40:190:40:22

Ah, ladies, I knew it wouldn't take you long to spot a jewellery stall.

0:40:220:40:26

Girls, this is heaven!

0:40:260:40:27

You don't want to keep me here too long. Blimey.

0:40:270:40:30

All these beads.

0:40:300:40:32

Wonderful.

0:40:340:40:36

This brooch and earring set, priced at £95,

0:40:360:40:39

is bringing a smile to Alison's face.

0:40:390:40:41

Scandinavian jewellery is a personal favourite of mine

0:40:410:40:44

because they don't work a lot in gold.

0:40:440:40:45

They didn't believe in actually making jewellery

0:40:450:40:48

for the price of the piece itself.

0:40:480:40:49

They believed in making jewellery for art's sake

0:40:490:40:51

and making jewellery that was incredibly beautiful.

0:40:510:40:54

They used a lot of enamelwork and over the last couple of years,

0:40:540:40:57

-it has become incredibly popular.

-Mm.

0:40:570:40:58

-Do you want to have a look at it?

-Yes.

-I think so.

0:40:580:41:00

Thank you so much.

0:41:020:41:04

So, you've got a pair of clip-on earrings

0:41:040:41:06

and a brooch there.

0:41:060:41:08

So, it's silver-gilt.

0:41:080:41:09

So, it's stamped 925S

0:41:090:41:11

and then it's stamped there DA for David-Andersen sterling, Norway.

0:41:110:41:15

-I love the colour.

-I mean, at auction,

0:41:150:41:17

-I would put them in probably at £50 to £70.

-Right.

0:41:170:41:21

I think it's a nice...

0:41:210:41:22

Nice that you've got the earrings and the brooch.

0:41:220:41:24

I think it's really decorative, very pretty

0:41:240:41:26

and I think lots of ladies

0:41:260:41:28

do actually like blue as a colour, so...

0:41:280:41:30

And it's our team colour.

0:41:300:41:31

It's our team colour, isn't it? The Blues.

0:41:310:41:33

So, yeah, I think it's lovely.

0:41:330:41:36

What could be your best price on that, darling?

0:41:360:41:38

-Um, I'd do them for 75.

-75. OK.

0:41:380:41:41

Is there any chance we could sort of nudge it towards the 60-ish?

0:41:410:41:45

-Just a bit?

-No.

-Are you sure?

-I'd do 65.

0:41:450:41:48

-65?

-I think he said 50.

-50, wasn't it?

0:41:480:41:52

-SHE LAUGHS

-He's getting cross with me now.

0:41:520:41:54

Was it 55?

0:41:540:41:56

-What did we say, darling?

-MAN:

-65.

0:41:560:41:58

-Shall we go for that?

-Let's go for it, yeah.

0:41:580:42:00

-Well, do you love it?

-I like it.

0:42:000:42:03

-I mean, I like it enough.

-Should this be our joint purchase?

0:42:030:42:06

-Yes, that's fair.

-Yes, all right, then.

0:42:060:42:08

-We'll have it as a joint, yes.

-So, this could be our joint purchase

0:42:080:42:11

-and we'll get Bongo something.

-Yes, OK.

-Right, let's go.

0:42:110:42:14

Bravo, Blues. Second item in the bag.

0:42:140:42:17

But with just 20 minutes left on the clock,

0:42:170:42:19

-the Reds haven't bought a thing.

-What about the scales there?

0:42:190:42:22

£78. I mean, I think they're quite cool.

0:42:230:42:26

-Yeah.

-Yeah, I like those.

-Really old-fashioned type.

0:42:260:42:29

They look to me like they're, what, '30s or '50s?

0:42:290:42:32

They wouldn't be '40s, war years,

0:42:320:42:34

but they'd be just before or just after, I would think.

0:42:340:42:36

Excuse me, sir.

0:42:360:42:38

Have you any idea how old these might be, do you think?

0:42:380:42:40

'They look sort of '50-ish to me.'

0:42:410:42:43

That's what I was sort of kind of thinking. And you think this...?

0:42:430:42:46

-And they're clearly English cos they're Avery scales.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:42:460:42:49

-This is enamelled.

-Yeah.

0:42:490:42:51

Glass-plated. Perhaps butchers.

0:42:510:42:54

There's only one thing we need to know is the price, really.

0:42:540:42:57

-The price is on top.

-No, I saw that.

-60.

0:42:570:43:00

That's too round. We need to come down a little bit.

0:43:030:43:05

-'That's very round.'

-52 sounds good to me.

0:43:050:43:09

-'52?'

-52? Where did you get 52 from?

0:43:090:43:13

-I was going to offer him 50.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:43:130:43:16

Could you do them for 50 quid?

0:43:160:43:17

-I'll do them for 50, yeah.

-Do you like them?

0:43:170:43:19

-Yeah, I do. I think they're very...

-Deal done.

0:43:190:43:23

Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Thank you very much.

0:43:230:43:25

Finally, the Reds have taken off.

0:43:250:43:27

The Avery scales are their first item.

0:43:270:43:30

I told you not to panic.

0:43:300:43:31

-Stay with us.

-HE WHIMPERS

0:43:310:43:34

-We need to find something else now, don't we?

-We do. Come on.

0:43:360:43:38

We've got the momentum going now. One down, two to go.

0:43:380:43:42

Yes, keep it up, Reds.

0:43:420:43:44

It's still 2-1 to the Blues, and the ladies have built up an appetite.

0:43:440:43:47

Ooh, smell those bacon butties, girls.

0:43:470:43:49

-Do you think we'll get time for an ice cream?

-Ooh, that would be nice.

0:43:490:43:52

The Blues may be peckish,

0:43:520:43:54

but the Reds are hungry to track down their next item.

0:43:540:43:57

Oh, I've got something nice for you.

0:43:570:43:59

Art Nouveau silver brooch. It's a beauty.

0:43:590:44:02

It's Scottish agate, set in solid silver,

0:44:020:44:05

made in about 1910, 1915.

0:44:050:44:09

There's a hallmark. You could date that.

0:44:090:44:10

-Don't tell me what your price is, but I would have...

-Yeah. 40.

0:44:100:44:13

-40?

-40.

0:44:140:44:17

-So, I'll do it for 30.

-It's not very clean.

0:44:170:44:20

-If it was 20, it might be more desirable.

-No, I couldn't.

0:44:200:44:22

I paid more than that for it, so I couldn't. It's impossible.

0:44:220:44:25

-Do you like it?

-Not Arts and Crafts, no.

0:44:250:44:27

I can tell by her face, Phil, she doesn't.

0:44:270:44:29

Oh, no! There seems to be a difference of opinion AGAIN.

0:44:290:44:33

If it's going to make money, I'm happy.

0:44:330:44:35

-MAN:

-It will make money for sure and I reckon you'll get 50 at auction.

0:44:350:44:38

She doesn't like it. I like it.

0:44:380:44:39

But with just the sniff of a possible profit,

0:44:390:44:42

looks like Dee's been persuaded.

0:44:420:44:43

-Go with that?

-Yeah.

-Done?

-Done.

-Yes, done.

0:44:430:44:46

-Thank you very much.

-That's all right.

0:44:460:44:48

Dee may not like it, but that's the second item for the Reds.

0:44:480:44:51

It's two apiece. How are we doing for time, Phil?

0:44:510:44:55

-We've got 20 minutes. Where now?

-Into the sheds.

0:44:550:44:58

Blues, are you still ploughing on nicely?

0:45:070:45:09

What do you think about these tractor seats over here?

0:45:090:45:12

Well, I'm a farmer's wife,

0:45:120:45:14

so you don't want to talk to me about tractor seats.

0:45:140:45:16

-Yeah, I think you're right.

-They're quite unusual.

0:45:160:45:18

Yeah, they have been tractor seats that have been converted

0:45:180:45:21

-into bar stools or, you know, stools, effectively.

-Mm-hm.

0:45:210:45:24

They've obviously been refurbed

0:45:240:45:25

cos they've got this new swivel mechanism on them

0:45:250:45:27

and they'd never have been on this base originally.

0:45:270:45:29

So, somebody's taken an old base and put this seat on it.

0:45:290:45:32

I think they're actually incredibly effective.

0:45:320:45:34

And if you think, now, a lot of people have kitchen islands.

0:45:340:45:37

We'd have to buy both of them if we were going to buy them.

0:45:370:45:39

Yes, I think you're right.

0:45:390:45:41

What do you think we could get for those at an auction, then?

0:45:410:45:44

-You might be looking at £20, £30 apiece.

-Yes, OK.

0:45:440:45:46

I think I'll go and see how much they are.

0:45:460:45:48

-See if you can do a buy one, get one free.

-Buy one, get one free. BOGOF.

0:45:480:45:51

-THEY LAUGH

-That would be quite useful.

0:45:510:45:54

I'll have a sit down myself, I think.

0:45:540:45:56

-That's a good idea. They are comfy, aren't they?

-Aren't they?

0:45:560:45:58

You know the question I'm going to ask you.

0:45:580:46:00

-What's the best price?

-What's the best price?

0:46:000:46:02

-The best price is a straight 100 for the pair.

-For the pair?

0:46:020:46:06

So, that's 50 each.

0:46:060:46:07

It's a little bit on the steep side.

0:46:070:46:10

-We'll have a think about it.

-No problem.

0:46:100:46:12

-We're in this game for profit, so...

-Yeah.

0:46:120:46:14

-Aren't we all?

-Yes.

-THEY LAUGH

0:46:140:46:16

Quite right, Blues. Stick to your game plan.

0:46:180:46:21

So, Reds, have you sniffed out anything?

0:46:210:46:23

-What am I looking at?

-The perfume bottle.

0:46:230:46:25

-You're taking me out of my comfort zone here.

-Oh, am I?

0:46:250:46:28

-Oh, OK.

-That has neither got rust, nor is it made of wood.

-No.

0:46:280:46:31

Yes, Phil, but can you smell a profit?

0:46:310:46:34

The thing is, this lady has beautifully presented things,

0:46:340:46:37

-but I think it's going to be a bit too much for us at auction.

-Yeah.

0:46:370:46:40

-We have now got just ten minutes left.

-Ten minutes left.

0:46:400:46:43

-Come on. We need to get on.

-Let's get cracking.

0:46:430:46:45

Oh, crikey, teams, time really is ticking.

0:46:470:46:50

How are you measuring up, Blues?

0:46:550:46:56

-Sweet.

-Oh, that is sweet.

-MAN:

-That's 20, that one.

0:46:560:46:58

This is quite sweet cos it's

0:46:580:46:59

a little advertising one for Chamberlain and Sons Ltd.

0:46:590:47:02

-Stiffener and leather manufacturers. Rushden, England.

-Rushden.

0:47:020:47:05

-That's where we live.

-Yes, it is. I do like it.

0:47:050:47:09

Is there any flexibility on the price on your tape?

0:47:090:47:12

-Oh, go on. Do 15.

-OK.

-Then you don't have to take it home.

-All right.

-15?

0:47:120:47:16

-Yeah, that's fine.

-Oh, that's great.

-What do I do, girls?

0:47:160:47:18

-Yeah, we'll go for it.

-Yes.

-Are we done?

-Yes, done.

0:47:180:47:21

We've got two minutes. We can keep wandering round.

0:47:210:47:23

We might go down another....

0:47:230:47:24

The Blues are finished. Three items bought. Well done.

0:47:240:47:28

Over to the Reds. There's just a few minutes left.

0:47:280:47:32

-Harrods Limited of London, Knightsbridge.

-Oh.

0:47:320:47:35

You've got a little bit of damage there. A little bit.

0:47:350:47:38

But I just think that's quite a nice thing.

0:47:380:47:40

-And these are collectables?

-Yeah, massively collectable.

-Really?

0:47:400:47:44

It's priced at 295.

0:47:440:47:45

I've had a word with the dealer,

0:47:460:47:48

cos you've got to leave me with something.

0:47:480:47:50

He'll let you have it for 220.

0:47:500:47:52

The risk is, on a bad day, it might make 150, 160.

0:47:520:47:56

On a good day, it might make 300, 350.

0:47:560:47:59

-I love this, but that just puts me off it a little bit.

-Yeah.

0:47:590:48:02

Check your budget, Reds. £220 won't leave Phil with a penny.

0:48:020:48:07

-Do you want the postbox?

-I like those post...

-Why not?

0:48:070:48:11

-How old is it?

-'Brand-new.'

-Oh, no.

-No.

0:48:110:48:14

No. Right, we've got to go, go, go.

0:48:140:48:15

Do you like the fire screen?

0:48:160:48:18

-No. Do you like the glass?

-No.

-Right.

0:48:190:48:22

-You've got to buy something now.

-We've got to buy it.

0:48:220:48:24

You either say, "We'll have the globe" or...

0:48:240:48:26

-We'll have the globe.

-That's what you want?

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

0:48:260:48:29

-11 seconds, Dee. Quick.

-Oh, Lordy!

0:48:290:48:31

How are they going to get themselves out of this pickle?

0:48:310:48:33

Good sir, good sir, good sir.

0:48:330:48:34

They made a mistake earlier with their sums.

0:48:340:48:36

They haven't got 220 left. That's everything gone.

0:48:360:48:39

If they give you 215, it leaves me with a fiver.

0:48:390:48:41

-Is that all right?

-That's all right.

-Cos if it isn't, we're up it!

0:48:410:48:44

-Thank you so much.

-Phew! You were lucky there, Reds.

0:48:440:48:47

Job done. KLAXON

0:48:470:48:49

Right, teams, your time is up.

0:48:490:48:51

That is the closest I've ever been in this programme. It really is.

0:48:510:48:54

There was about a second to go.

0:48:540:48:56

-Well done.

-Yeah, thank you.

-Do you know what?

0:48:560:48:58

-I thought we were going to have loads of time at the end.

-I know.

0:48:580:49:00

-So did I.

-So relaxed, so laid-back.

0:49:000:49:02

-And, actually, we took it a bit close to the wire.

-We did, yes.

0:49:020:49:05

-Bongo, don't do that to me again.

-THEY LAUGH

0:49:050:49:08

Shopping's done and we've returned to the auction in Lichfield,

0:49:100:49:14

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

0:49:140:49:17

First up, the Reds weighed in

0:49:200:49:22

and paid £50 for these Avery scales.

0:49:220:49:24

Next, they'll be pinning their hopes on this brooch, which cost £30.

0:49:280:49:32

And finally, at £215,

0:49:350:49:38

will this globe have far-reaching appeal at the auction?

0:49:380:49:41

-Dee, lovely to see you here.

-Thank you, Charlie.

-Where is Jean?

0:49:410:49:45

Unfortunately, she couldn't make it today,

0:49:450:49:47

-but I have a partner here in Philip Serrell.

-A-ha-ha.

0:49:470:49:50

Look at this.

0:49:500:49:51

-Well, Dee, you were a spendthrift, weren't you?

-Absolutely.

0:49:510:49:55

-Between you, you managed to spend £295...

-We blew it.

0:49:550:49:59

..leaving Lord Serrell with a fiver.

0:49:590:50:01

Well, let's have a look. I think you might be disappointed.

0:50:010:50:04

Yeah, I think you're going to be very disappointed

0:50:040:50:06

cos all I could find for a fiver was this little clock,

0:50:060:50:09

and I thought it was quite apt

0:50:090:50:11

given the time pressures that we were under.

0:50:110:50:13

So, how much are we going to achieve?

0:50:130:50:15

Well, I was kind of hoping that the minimum bid here is £10.

0:50:150:50:18

You know, and then we're home and doubled the money.

0:50:180:50:21

Will Dee be persuaded? We'll find out later on.

0:50:210:50:24

In the meantime, here's a little reminder of the Blue team's three items.

0:50:240:50:28

For starters, at £20, will this trunk be packed with profit?

0:50:300:50:35

Next they paid the pretty price of £65 for this brooch and earrings.

0:50:370:50:42

And finally, will this measuring tape go the distance?

0:50:440:50:48

£15 paid.

0:50:480:50:49

Well, this is very exciting, isn't it? What's under there?

0:50:500:50:53

-Oh! Oh, my goodness.

-THEY LAUGH

0:50:550:50:58

-A deafening silence.

-Is it, what, a duvet?

0:50:580:51:00

It is an early-20th-century paisley eiderdown.

0:51:000:51:05

-How much do you think I spent?

-£30.

0:51:050:51:08

-Ooh, close. I spent £25 on it.

-BOTH:

-Ooh!

-That's quite close.

0:51:080:51:13

And what will it make?

0:51:130:51:15

So, I think, at auction,

0:51:150:51:16

you're going to be looking at 30 to 50, £40 to £60.

0:51:160:51:19

-Something like that.

-Ooh, profit.

-That's all right, isn't it?

0:51:190:51:22

Yes, it's a profit.

0:51:220:51:23

Only a POSSIBLE profit, Blues, you haven't solid it yet!

0:51:230:51:27

But you don't have long to wait because we're now ready to sell,

0:51:280:51:31

so hopefully let's make some money!

0:51:310:51:34

-Dee, now's the moment.

-I know.

-Are you excited?

0:51:350:51:38

I'm totally up for it and I'm enthusiastic.

0:51:380:51:40

Which of the lots do you think will make the biggest profit?

0:51:400:51:43

-On balance, it could be the scales.

-I like that.

0:51:430:51:46

Is that one of your lines? On balance?

0:51:460:51:48

-I'd need to weigh that one up.

-THEY LAUGH

0:51:480:51:50

-Wait!

-I'll take the measure of your judgment.

-Oh, dear me.

0:51:500:51:53

I can't compete with this.

0:51:530:51:55

The set of the shop Avery scales. White enamel.

0:51:550:51:59

-Here are the scales.

-At 20. We're at five. We are 30.

0:51:590:52:03

We are five. We are 40. £40 bid.

0:52:030:52:06

Just need a little bit more, don't we?

0:52:060:52:08

£40. £40. At £40.

0:52:080:52:11

We're just down a tenner. Come on.

0:52:110:52:13

-It's mid-40s.

-Oh, he's stopped.

-Oh!

-Sold.

0:52:130:52:17

Well, you're down a tenner. That's not the end of the world, is it?

0:52:170:52:20

-That was a very rare object.

-That might come, Charlie.

0:52:200:52:22

Here comes the brooch.

0:52:220:52:23

£8, I'm bid. £8. £10. £15. £20.

0:52:230:52:29

Only cost 30. It's getting there.

0:52:290:52:31

£20. At £20 in the room. At £20.

0:52:310:52:34

-25, the internet.

-Let's get 30 in the room.

0:52:340:52:37

-Wonderful piece.

-£28.

-Yes! Come on!

0:52:370:52:40

28.

0:52:400:52:41

-Minus two means you're minus 12.

-They failed me.

-This is pretty good.

0:52:420:52:46

All we need now is a really good result.

0:52:460:52:49

Now the globe. The terrestrial globe.

0:52:490:52:50

I have got seven bids on the book. 150 bid.

0:52:500:52:55

-THEY GASP Oh, Philip!

-160. 170. 180.

0:52:550:52:58

190. 200.

0:52:580:53:01

-Was this a Serrell special?

-This was a Serrell.

0:53:010:53:04

At 200. Anyone in the room?

0:53:040:53:07

Internet's out. And sold at £200.

0:53:070:53:12

Pretty jolly good, really.

0:53:120:53:14

And you're only down £27 out of all that.

0:53:140:53:18

-So, we're going with the bonus buy?

-Absolutely.

-Well done, Dee.

-317.

0:53:180:53:21

Little Bakelite bedside clock.

0:53:210:53:24

Here we go.

0:53:240:53:25

-The bedside clock.

-This is it.

-£2 to start me.

-Oh, ouch!

0:53:250:53:28

£2 to start me.

0:53:280:53:30

£4, the internet.

0:53:300:53:32

-£6. £8. £15, the internet.

-15.

-You've done it.

0:53:320:53:36

-£15. The internet's at £15.

-£15!

0:53:360:53:39

Hammer's up. All done. 15.

0:53:390:53:42

-Mwah!

-That's a faux profit, that, Charlie.

-How about that?

0:53:420:53:45

Overall, you have only lost...

0:53:500:53:52

-..£17.

-That's incredible.

-That is just such a result.

0:53:530:53:58

We spent all of our money, Charlie.

0:53:580:54:00

Spent all your money and only lost £17.

0:54:000:54:02

-And he was very stressed at the end.

-Serious result.

0:54:020:54:04

Now, promise me, not a word to the Blues.

0:54:040:54:08

-Oh, I shall be silent.

-Not a word.

0:54:080:54:09

Well, girls, you look as if you're expecting something enormous.

0:54:190:54:23

-We're very excited.

-I think you should be pretty happy.

0:54:230:54:27

-Do you feel a Golden Gavel coming on?

-Yes, yes, yes.

0:54:270:54:30

-Oh, Charlie, stop it.

-I hope so.

0:54:300:54:31

Now we move to 333, the vintage

0:54:310:54:34

bentwood-bound canvas trunk.

0:54:340:54:37

£20, I'm bid. 25. £30. 35.

0:54:370:54:41

-£40.

-Oh, my God.

-£40 bid. £40, I'm bid.

0:54:410:54:44

£40. 45. £50.

0:54:440:54:46

£50, internet. £50, I'm bid.

0:54:460:54:49

-£50, I'm bid with me.

-Blimey.

0:54:490:54:51

There must be something very special in this trunk.

0:54:510:54:53

At £50. At 50.

0:54:530:54:54

£50, I'm bid. All done?

0:54:540:54:57

Sold at 50.

0:54:570:55:00

Girls, that is a profit

0:55:000:55:01

-of 30 smackers.

-I think I need her shopping with me all the time.

0:55:010:55:04

And after all, here comes your Andersen brooch.

0:55:040:55:06

The lovely David-Andersen brooch now.

0:55:060:55:09

Interest all over the book on this one.

0:55:090:55:11

We are 20. 30. We are 40. We are 50. We are 60.

0:55:110:55:15

£60, I'm bid.

0:55:150:55:17

-Take five. Take five.

-'At 60.

0:55:170:55:18

'On my book at 60. Internet, you're out.'

0:55:180:55:20

All done? Sold at 60.

0:55:200:55:24

-Oh!

-So, broken even. Broken even.

-It's a loss.

0:55:240:55:26

-Lost a fiver.

-Oh!

0:55:260:55:28

You're still plus £25.

0:55:280:55:30

No fretting, girls.

0:55:300:55:31

And now you've got the wonderful advertising tape measure

0:55:310:55:34

by W W Chamberlain and Sons.

0:55:340:55:37

15. 20. £20, I'm bid. Internet, you're out.

0:55:370:55:40

-£20 with me.

-It's hovering.

0:55:400:55:42

-It's £20. £20. £20.

-Come on.

0:55:420:55:45

All done. Sold at 20.

0:55:450:55:48

So, you're up £30 overall.

0:55:490:55:51

-Oh-ho-ho!

-Yes!

-30 quid.

0:55:510:55:53

Well, of course, that really puts the eiderdown in jeopardy,

0:55:530:55:57

-doesn't it?

-No.

-Oh, gosh.

-No.

-No?

0:55:570:55:59

-What do you think about the vintage eiderdown?

-100%. 100%.

0:55:590:56:02

-100% yes? 100% yes?

-Yes, yes.

-Really? Really?

-Yes.

0:56:020:56:04

-No pressure. Despite the fact you're £30 up?

-Ooh!

0:56:040:56:07

-I think we'll make more.

-It cost 25.

0:56:070:56:10

So, what do you think that nice auctioneer has made of this?

0:56:100:56:14

-What's he put it at?

-40?

-What estimate?

-20 to 25.

0:56:140:56:18

-WOMEN:

-Oh!

-You did well.

-No, I think you'll be all right.

0:56:180:56:21

Stop crying, Christina, for goodness' sake.

0:56:210:56:24

We have the paisley eiderdown.

0:56:240:56:27

Vintage one there. Paisley cover.

0:56:270:56:29

Lovely and fresh. Nothing on my book on this.

0:56:290:56:31

I'm in your hands again.

0:56:310:56:33

£2 a bid. £2 a bid.

0:56:330:56:35

-Oh!

-I beg your pardon?

-£2 a bid.

0:56:350:56:37

Don't... £4. £6. £8.

0:56:370:56:39

£10. 15. 18. 20.

0:56:390:56:42

-Oh!

-£20 there.

-The boy's on fire, isn't he?

-Oh, come on.

0:56:420:56:45

-We're nearly there.

-Come on.

-£20. £20. All done?

0:56:450:56:49

Sold at 20.

0:56:490:56:51

It's only minus a fiver.

0:56:520:56:55

Overall...overall, you're plus £25.

0:56:550:56:59

It's a profit, girls!

0:56:590:57:01

It's been a bit of a yo-yo, hasn't it?

0:57:010:57:02

A little bit up, a little bit down, a little bit in the middle.

0:57:020:57:05

But overall, £25. I think that's good.

0:57:050:57:07

-Yes. Very happy, aren't we?

-Yes, we're happy.

0:57:070:57:09

Not a word to the Red team. That could well be a winning score.

0:57:090:57:13

So, we've had a lot of fun. A lot of fun.

0:57:250:57:28

-Haven't we, girls?

-Definitely.

-Yes.

-Absolutely.

0:57:280:57:30

Dee, we haven't got Jean. How would she have enjoyed it?

0:57:300:57:33

I think she would have loved it today.

0:57:330:57:35

I'm sure she would have.

0:57:350:57:36

Of course, as always, on the programme, we have a winner

0:57:360:57:40

and we don't have a loser, we have a runner-up.

0:57:400:57:43

And the runner-up today is, without doubt...

0:57:430:57:46

-..the Red team.

-Oh.

0:57:470:57:49

-THEY CHEER

-Well done, girls.

0:57:490:57:52

-If only Jean had been here...

-Absolutely.

0:57:520:57:55

..things might have been different.

0:57:550:57:56

-Unlikely, but they might have been.

-Oh!

0:57:560:57:59

Anyway, it's been a lot of fun and there hasn't been much in it,

0:57:590:58:02

I have to say. You know, you only lost £17,

0:58:020:58:06

but not as good as the smug Blues.

0:58:060:58:09

-Overall, you've made £25.

-Yay! Well done, girls.

0:58:090:58:13

Stunning work. Look at that.

0:58:130:58:15

Don't spend it all at the same time.

0:58:150:58:17

Take it before I put it back in my pocket.

0:58:170:58:20

THEY LAUGH

0:58:200:58:22

You've been great contestants. A lot of fun.

0:58:220:58:24

-In the meantime, join us for more Bargain Hunting. Yes? ALL:

-Yes!
