0:00:03 > 0:00:06What happens when you send two teams of good friends
0:00:06 > 0:00:08to do battle with one another?
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Will they still remain friends at the end of the day?
0:00:10 > 0:00:14There is only one way of finding out, and this could get messy.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:39 > 0:00:44Hello and a big Bargain Hunt welcome to Swinderby.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Have you never heard of the Swinderby Fair before today?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Well, where have you been?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Because they don't come much bigger than this.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Soon to be racing round these stalls will be the Bargain Hunt Express,
0:00:58 > 0:01:03two teams laden with £300, trying to buy three antiques.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07And they had better use their hour's shopping time wisely!
0:01:09 > 0:01:14We're slightly going away, we've got to think about it making a profit. Is that going to make us a profit?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17So, it's well beyond our price range. But...
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- We do have expensive tastes. - You do have expensive tastes.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24The next aim will be to sell the three items they have bought at
0:01:24 > 0:01:28auction, hoping to turn over their choices for more than they paid.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31But will they make good decisions?
0:01:31 > 0:01:32You're bothered about the dog's bed?
0:01:32 > 0:01:36You're not the only one that's bothered about the dog's bed!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- You could lose all of that effort. - Yeah.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Are you like this when you go to Vegas? You are 1,000 up...
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Keep putting it in the slot machine! - Keep putting it in...
0:01:47 > 0:01:52So, now you know what's at stake, let's go and meet today's players.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Linda, Chris, Rob and Jane.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Now, you've only just met them, but they know each other
0:02:01 > 0:02:06extremely well, and the competition today is going to be stiff.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- Now, how do you know each other so well?- We all work together.- Do you?
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- We work at the residential special school in Lincoln.- Mm-hm.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Linda is the boss, I'm second boss, then there's Rob and Jane.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- So, this is the pecking order? - That's right, absolutely!
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Now, do you know your way around an antiques fair, Chris?
0:02:23 > 0:02:28Yes, I collect all sorts of stuff, I go to antique fairs,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32we do car-boot sales, anything like that.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Do you have the same taste as your friend, Linda,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37when it comes to the antiques?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Definitely not as good, I wouldn't have thought.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- I'm really into, at the moment, collecting funny dog things.- Doggie?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- Yes, I love dog things. - Do you?- I do.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Porcelain dogs, always, is it? - Yes, it seems to be.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51It says here that you're likely to disagree about things...
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Oh, absolutely!- You will be disagreeing, will you? You promise?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Yes, yes. I'm sure we will.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59No, seriously, don't have a big bust-up about it,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01because we are really here to have fun.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03But very, very good luck, anyway. Super.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Now, you two, lower orders in the pecking chain, hey?- Yes, definitely.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09So, what's your interest in antiques, Rob?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Well, I like lots of things, I don't collect anything any more,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15because I've downsized, because I've recently moved.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- I used to collect pie funnels. - Pie funnels?- Yes.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Are those the jokers that keep the pastry up?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Yes, and let the steam out.- Oh, right. And what do you do with them?
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- Nothing, really!- Were you a baker? - No, no.- You didn't use them in a pie?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- No.- And what have you done with them now?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I gave them to a friend's son, who sold them,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- he is at university and he needed the money.- Oh, I see.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38So, it was a charitable gesture.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Because that's the sort of person I am.- Yes, quite.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Now, Jane, have you got any collections, darling?- Er...
0:03:44 > 0:03:47As Rob will tell you, I've recently started collecting buttons.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- But not shirt buttons, Tim. - No? Oh, right.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- He asked me to make him one, Tim. - You made this?- Yes, can't you tell?
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- And that's what you do with your old buttons?- No, not always.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00He asked me to make him one as a joke.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02And you did and he is wearing it now!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- And are you wearing it with pride?- I am, yes.- He's wearing it with pride.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Well, that's got that sorted out.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Now for the money moment, £300 apiece, here is your £300,
0:04:11 > 0:04:15you know the rules, your experts await, and off you flit!
0:04:15 > 0:04:17And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Helping the two teams out on a rainy,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22windy day are our two excellent experts.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Supporting the Red team
0:04:24 > 0:04:27and always brightening up the day, it's the lovely Catherine Southon.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35While for the Blues, and feeling right in his element,
0:04:35 > 0:04:36it's Thomas Plant.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40And they'll need to whip up a storm today,
0:04:40 > 0:04:44as they will be helping not one, but two pairs of Reds and Blues.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Now, Swinderby fair might be huge, but Catherine
0:04:47 > 0:04:50and the Reds look like they may have found something already.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Oh, I like that. - Quite a lot of bits and bobs.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57I mean, bear in mind that some of these could be sort of associated...
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Yes.- But that's quite nice, isn't it?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03You can see, those are more modern, aren't they? But there are some older bits and bobs in there.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05The only thing is, I hope it is an artist's case,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08rather than perhaps trying to be like a Gladstone bag, or
0:05:08 > 0:05:11something, like a doctor's case, you know, that would have had bottles.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Why are you drawn towards it?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I don't know, just because it's old and a bit more quirky.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Looks like it might have some history. It's quite tatty, though.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- But you quite like it?- Yeah. Do you like it?- Yeah, I like it.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- It's got £65 on it, which is a lot of money.- Yes, too much.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Can the girls get better terms and conditions?
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Meanwhile, the Blues have found something they like the look of.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Oh, Jane.- That is lovely, I like that.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- I'm going to have to, aren't I?- Yeah.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I don't know whether it's worth a fortune, but I just like that,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- and it is appropriate to us. - You're into penguins?- Yes.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48It's just, that's what got us on here in the first place.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Jane's got a penguin... - It almost looks identical.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55I mean, it's slit moulded, it's made in the former USSR,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58former Soviet Union, and they did make other types of animals,
0:05:58 > 0:06:02but I would say this is probably 1960s.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03We are looking for certain things,
0:06:03 > 0:06:07but we've always said that something will jump out at us, and that's it,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Rob likes that and that's fair enough, I think it's lovely.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15- We'll have it then, yeah? OK, well, I'll go and tell the stallholder. - Thank you, Thomas.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18So, you've got the price of £48 on here, can you do anything?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- £40 would be best.- £40.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23That's what, about 20%? Yeah, that's not bad, thank you for that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Good negotiating by Thomas, eh?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28And the Reds are trying to strike a deal
0:06:28 > 0:06:30on the Gladstone bag of artist's tools.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- 65.- 165, is it?- No, 65.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Oh, my word, we are speaking very different languages here.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42That's far beyond what I was thinking.
0:06:42 > 0:06:4450 quid.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- 35?- 50 quid's the best.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50For 35, or maybe, at a stretch, 40, we might be all right.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51But I think 50 might be pushing it.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- 45, best price.- No.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- 40?- 40.- I think so.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59All right, go on, £40.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Thank you. - Robbed me blind!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Oh, well done, ladies! Well done.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Some excellent hard bargaining from the Reds,
0:07:09 > 0:07:14but time is ticking away and they still need two more bargains.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Meanwhile, have the Blues found their next item?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Do you think that's real copper and brass, Thomas?- Oh, yeah.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- It's £120, though, but it's lovely. - It's a Victorian epern.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Is it for flowers?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Oh, yeah, you put that in the centre of your table,
0:07:28 > 0:07:32and your posies, primroses, peonies, pansies, something like that...
0:07:32 > 0:07:34They are very pretty things.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Do you think we'd stand a chance of making a profit on that?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39We'll have to ask the stallholder, again,
0:07:39 > 0:07:40what the best is on this.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Now, sir, what wonderful deal can you do me?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Seeing as you've had the penguin, we'll go to a straight 100.
0:07:48 > 0:07:5090?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Go on.- Go on, then.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- That's fine.- Really? - Oh, I'm happy! Yeah.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Reserve that for me, thank you very much.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I'll be home for an early bath!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04I did spot that when I walked in, I thought it was really, really pretty.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Just 15 minutes to go, and the managers are taking a cruise.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Do you actually go sailing? - Yes, I do.- Oh, right.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16So, it would be really nice to find a nautical piece.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18And I'm into narrowboating,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21so we've both got this shared sort of water interest.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- So, maybe a canoe or something like that.- Yes!
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Well, there's nothing nautical about this!
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Very sweet.- Yeah. - What do you think about that?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I would like to see that as
0:08:32 > 0:08:35an interior piece in a children's bedroom.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40- How much has it got on it? - 165, that's far too high.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42We've got to think about it making a profit.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Is that going to make us a profit?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I see that at an auction with maybe an estimate of maybe 80, 120.
0:08:47 > 0:08:5260, 80... I don't think we'll want to spend more than about £80.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- No, we'll have to see what they say. - Let's ask him.- Oh, go on, then.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58She's quite scary, isn't she?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Well, with just nine minutes to go,
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Chris has managed to talk down the price of the bed to £98.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Now, it looks like the Blues are having a bottle party!
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Go on, pick one up and have a look. - Glass, is it?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- It's a strange texture. - These are quite old.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15They are 18th-century bottles.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Might be a little later, that one, but still, it's quite nice.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I mean, that one's nice, with the AH there.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25I've got a feeling they are going to be quite expensive, because bottles are quite expensive.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- But they are quite lovely things, aren't they?- They are.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- STALLHOLDER:- £100.- £100, yeah?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33You know, I don't think that's out of the way, to be candid with you.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Having a seal on it makes it more desirable.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- £100, what do you think about that price?- Hmm.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Yeah, I think it's good, but if we could get it for a little bit less...
0:09:43 > 0:09:47He's given us a firm figure, and you never know,
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- he might trade a little bit.- If you want that, yes, I'm happy with that.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- You want to go for it?- Yes, please.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I think you've got a really good opportunity.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- I think you could beat your bosses. - I'm sure we can!
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- Not like that, you know!- I'd probably be out of work in September!
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Let's go.- Let's go for it.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07So, the workers are ready to down tools,
0:10:07 > 0:10:11and the managers haven't been clock watching.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13They should have been!
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Shall we cut through, shall we whiz?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- We've really got to, as well. - Yeah, we have!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Do you want to go up and left, or do you want to go down...
0:10:22 > 0:10:24That way is down, yeah?
0:10:24 > 0:10:28You said there was a stall down there you really wanted to look at.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32We are going towards the end of the fair,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34and we are going to be in trouble!
0:10:34 > 0:10:37They want something nautical, but they don't know where to look.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42- Five minutes.- They're all at sea. - We are running out of stalls now!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Which way? Over there? Quick, shall we run?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50At last, they've sighted the tent they want.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54With only seconds left on the clock, they're dropping anchor.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I hope these are the original... the glass is all original.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02- Would you do 80?- I will, but that's the very best.- What a nice man!
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I like the way they've got the port and starboard on them.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Yes, they are a matching pair, they are nice.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11I mean, we are literally at the skin of our teeth, we are...
0:11:11 > 0:11:13And these, we were looking for something nautical.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18You wanted nautical, didn't you? £80?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Yeah, OK.- We'll go with them. - Sure?- Yup.- OK.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Well, any port in a storm, eh?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28The Reds have just managed to complete their task.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30That was a close shave!
0:11:30 > 0:11:32I don't think I've ever actually been as close as that.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34My head is throbbing!
0:11:34 > 0:11:38So, now, all the teams will be thinking about is,
0:11:38 > 0:11:43have we bought the right item? Will we make a profit at auction?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47To give them that extra chance, we allow the expert to go
0:11:47 > 0:11:52and buy that extra item, which we call the bonus buy.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56But first, let's remind ourselves what the teams bought.
0:11:56 > 0:12:02The Reds were drawn to an artist's Gladstone bag, which cost them £40.
0:12:02 > 0:12:08Next, they alighted on a small bed for a small dog, which cost £98.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12And finally, they ran ashore with a pair of ship's lamps,
0:12:12 > 0:12:16coming in at £80.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- What did you spend?- 200...- 218.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23218, so, you've got £82 of leftover lolly, yes?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- Here we go, £82 of leftover lolly. - Lovely. Thank you.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32- Well, good luck with that. Got any ideas?- Well, we spent big, very big.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- So, I'm going to spend small. - Are you? A modest purchase.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37We'll stand by for that.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:12:41 > 0:12:47The workers were united on a Russian penguin, for which they paid £40.
0:12:47 > 0:12:54Next up was a Victorian epern with green glass vases, at £90.
0:12:54 > 0:13:00And another £90 went on this handsome, hefty dark glass bottle.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- Which is your favourite piece, Rob?- Er, this.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- Which is your favourite piece, Jane?- I like the glass, I can't...
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- The epern?- The epern.- Brilliant. So, you spent 220.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13£80 goes to Thomas, if you don't mind giving him that.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- Thank you very much.- You're welcome.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19And, well, in this pouring wet, Thomas, I wish you good luck!
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Thank you very much! - I wish you good luck, as well!
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Well, it's a treat to be in Derby at Bamfords Saleroom, as usual,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- with James Lewis. Hi, James. - Good to see you.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Linda and Chris, the Reds, went with this Gladstone style bag,
0:13:38 > 0:13:40with contents.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Rough old bag, rough old contents, but it sort of has
0:13:43 > 0:13:48the quality of a prop from some Dickens programme, don't you think?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- And do you know, that's exactly who I'm trying to sell it to!- Is it?
0:13:52 > 0:13:57- Yeah, somebody who does film props. - Ideal! So, how much, do you think?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- I thought £40-£60.- OK, that's fine, £40 paid.- Oh, good.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- That's OK, then. - Perfect, isn't it?
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Next up, this rough old bed behind me, which has got the look,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09but would it just be for dolls, would it?
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- You'd never put baby in there, would you?- I don't really like it.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I think it's going to make...
0:14:16 > 0:14:17- £30-£50?- Never!
0:14:17 > 0:14:23- Ooh.- £98 was spent.- Oh, no!- Yes. Catherine paid £98.- Oh, Catherine!
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- 30 to 50, you are reckoning. - Oh, gosh!
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Now, the lanterns, these copper lanterns.
0:14:29 > 0:14:35I reckoned these probably date from, at kindest, 1935-40.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36But quite jolly.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Yeah, they are the sort of things that pubs had,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41weren't they, on the windowsill?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44They are what they are. What do you think they will bring in the sale?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- I think they're worth £50-£80. - £80 paid, so that's not too bad.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Yup, yup.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50But what with this bad old bed behind us, I think they are
0:14:50 > 0:14:54going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Oh, that's lovely!
0:14:57 > 0:15:01The reason I bought it, I know you like sort of nautical things,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03and it's like a little apprentice piece,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I suppose, in the form of a ship's lamp.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10You'll be pleased to know, I didn't spend £82. I only spent £10.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14So, I would hope we would make £5, £10 profit?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I really like it.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18I can tell you love it, Christine, don't you just love it?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I do, absolutely.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- And you, Linda, you're really fired up with this, aren't you?- I like it.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27You do, OK. Jolly good. Well, we've got
0:15:27 > 0:15:30a prediction of £5-£10 potential profit there, which is wonderful.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Hold on to that thought,
0:15:32 > 0:15:36while we find out, for the audience at home, what the auctioneer thinks.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Um, gosh. Sorry, I just really don't like it.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42And it's got one of these brass struts missing here, look.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Lacking a strut. That hinge doesn't look so splendid.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Yes, that's one way of putting it!
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- Well, it's bust.- Yes. Um, no.
0:15:53 > 0:15:54Really...
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- Gosh, sorry, but I hate it. - OK, fine. So, give us an estimate.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03- A pound.- OK. She paid 10. With any luck, they won't go with it.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07So, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- Robert went with the Russian penguin.- Yeah.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Now, I think that's rather fun, don't you?- I like it a lot.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17It really makes me smile, it's these completely mad colours,
0:16:17 > 0:16:21but that sort of expression on its face, yeah, it's great, I like it.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25£40, they paid. So, Soviet period ceramics.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- What do you think it might bring? - 30 to 50?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30£30-£50, jolly good, so, spot on, they are right in the middle.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35Super. Now, the table epern looks a bit weak to me.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I mean, Victorian table eperns never...
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Well, they're not making what they did 10 years ago,
0:16:41 > 0:16:43and that is a really poor example of one.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- What did they pay? - They paid £90.- Ohhh!
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Gosh! I think that's twice what it's worth.- Do you?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51£45 is where you're coming to.
0:16:51 > 0:16:5440 to 60 estimate, so you gave quite a generous estimate,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57but they could be struggling around 40, 45.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01And how do you rate that curious, tapering bottle?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04It looks like a gin bottle, doesn't it? An 18th-century gin bottle.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Because the idea being that the glass was worth more than
0:17:07 > 0:17:10the contents, and you would identify your own
0:17:10 > 0:17:14bottle by putting your own initials on the top, and take the bottle
0:17:14 > 0:17:18back to the gin place, fill it up with gin, get your own bottle back.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19Was that the way it worked?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22That's the way it worked, as to why, in the 17th
0:17:22 > 0:17:25and early part of the 18th century, you identified your bottle.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28And if you were an aristocrat, you'd have your seal, your coat of arms on it.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Yes, I've seen sealed ones. - If you were an ordinary person,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33you would just put your initials on, like that, AH.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- How old is it, do you think? - I don't know.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- It's got all those wonderful scratches around the foot rim.- Mm.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43You'd have to feel that it's kind of... 1710, wouldn't you?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Wouldn't it be great if it was?- I'd like to feel, but it's an odd shape.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49But I have a horrible feeling that it may be
0:17:49 > 0:17:51a 20th-century facsimile, I can't...
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- It doesn't feel 300 years old, to me.- No.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58I'd like to think it was late 18th century, but then it's the wrong...
0:17:58 > 0:18:02It wouldn't be. So, I think you might be right, I just don't know.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I'm going to hold my hands up and say, let's just wait and see.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08So, a wait-and-see type estimate would be what, do you think,
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- on that?- I would put £40-£60 on it.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- If it's right, they'll certainly know.- Perfect, well, £90 was paid.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18If they are right, your glass buyers will recognise it
0:18:18 > 0:18:22for what it is, then it would be worth at least £100-£150.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24At least that. So, good luck, Blues.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Some difficulties there, perhaps, in making automatic profits,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30therefore, they might need their bonus buy, therefore,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32let's go and have a look at it.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Aah!
0:18:34 > 0:18:38A very fine Arts and Crafts, could be a paper rack, letter rack,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41something you hang and you put your papers in.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44But it's a very fine copper design here,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47but this work here is very similar to the Liberty design,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49but it doesn't have a Liberty label on it.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54- Now, £75 was spent, what do you think?- I really like it.- Yes, I do.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- So, you like that, Jane? - I do.- That's good.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59How much do you think it will...?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Well, as a piece of Arts and Crafts, it's worth £80-£100.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04You don't decide right now, you decide after
0:19:04 > 0:19:07the sale of the first three items, but for the viewers at home...
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- We've decided! - For the viewers at home,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about it. Naughty Rob!
0:19:12 > 0:19:15It's certainly of the period, isn't it?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18It's 1900, 1905, something like that. Strange object.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- Wall-hanging newspaper rack, do you think?- Exactly.- Magazine rack?
0:19:22 > 0:19:27I think today's newspaper was put in that rack every day
0:19:27 > 0:19:31at 35 Acacia Avenue, and a little rack for his slippers.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33THEY LAUGH
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I have the Antiques Trade Gazette in mine.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Ohh, you're such a sucker!
0:19:37 > 0:19:43- OK, well, how much? What's your estimate?- I should think £40-£60.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46OK, fine, £75 was paid by Thomas,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48in the fond hope that he will get a profit on it.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51And depending on who is here in a minute, all will be revealed!
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Yup.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- Linda and Chris.- Yes. - You're looking a bit nervous, Chris!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05We are a little bit bothered about the dog's bed.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Bothered about the dog's bed?
0:20:07 > 0:20:10You're not the only one that's bothered about the dog's bed!
0:20:10 > 0:20:13First item up, though, is the Gladstone bag, and here it comes.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Gladstone bag, there it is, full of really interesting early
0:20:17 > 0:20:22artist equipment, and I'll start at 15, 15 and 18, anyone? 18, anyone?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26At 15, and 18 at the back. 18 and 20, and 22? 22, 25, 28.
0:20:26 > 0:20:3028, 28, and 30, 32, 35, 38.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- 38 has it.- Getting there. Come on!
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- 38, and 40. 40 and 42. - 40 on the phone, good.
0:20:36 > 0:20:4245, 45, 48, 48 and 50, no? At £48.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Back of the room. No more?
0:20:44 > 0:20:49No? At 50, anywhere? At 48, all sure?
0:20:49 > 0:20:54£48. Well done! Plus £8, well, who would have thought that?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Now, your bed. Stand by.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02The doll's bed. £40, surely. Anybody want it, £40?
0:21:02 > 0:21:08- Come on!- 40. Do you want to come in? £40 on the phone. At 40, and 45 now.
0:21:08 > 0:21:1145, 50, 50 and 55.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- Come on!- No? At £50 on the phone, it's against you.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17At £50, are you sure?
0:21:17 > 0:21:21I'm selling at 50. It's yours.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25£50. Well, that's his top estimate, in fairness.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26It's still, I'm afraid, minus 48,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29which means you are on minus 40 overall.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Now, the lanterns.
0:21:31 > 0:21:37OK, I've got three bids on them. One of £38, one of £40 and one other.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41So, £42 starts. 42, 45 now. 45, 48 and 50.
0:21:41 > 0:21:4550 and 55, 60 has it. 60 and 65, 70.
0:21:45 > 0:21:5070 and 75, at 70, anybody else? With you at £70.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- They're worth a little bit more than that!- At 70.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Bad luck. That's not bad, though.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00That's minus £10, so overall, you are minus £50. Bad luck, girls.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Now, what are you going to do?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Are you going to go with the other lantern, which cost 10?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Are you going to risk another tenner,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- or are you going to stick at 50? - Let's go with it.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- I think we are going to go with it. - Not sure.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15- You want to go with the bonus buy? - Look at his face!- You're going to risk the- £10? We are.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Desk light, you can put a little tea light in there.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Where shall we start? At £20 somewhere, 20?
0:22:20 > 0:22:25£20, 10? £10 for it, 10 bid on the aisle, 12 now.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29At 10 here, 12, do I see? At £10 only, do I see 12?
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- With you at £10. Anybody else?- Come on, just an eensy-teensy profit!
0:22:32 > 0:22:34At £10.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Ha-ha! Wiped its face, there you go.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40£10, no profit, no loss, no pain, no shame.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44The big thing is, don't tell the Blues a word, right?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47You are overall minus 50, no shame in that.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51It might be a winning score! You never know.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- So, do you know how the Reds got on? - No.- You don't?- No, we don't.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03You've not been chatting to them?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Well, they are the bosses, aren't they?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Best not to talk to the bosses. - No, better not, no.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- How do you rate your chances? - Fantastic, Tim.- Yeah, confident.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- You're confident. - Yeah, we like what we've got.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17You've been a great team, I have to tell you.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Bearing up under all this bullying from above.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23First up is your Russian penguin, and here it comes.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25This Russian pottery penguin and chick, almost comical,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28it's a great little group, this one, I really like it.
0:23:28 > 0:23:35£30 is bid, 32, do I see? At £30, and 32 now. At 32, 35? 38 and 40.
0:23:35 > 0:23:4142, 45. 48 and 50. It's against you. At £50, and 52, do I see?
0:23:41 > 0:23:48At 50, all done at £50? It's with me at 50, it's against you.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- £50, do svidanya! Plus 10, that's brilliant, that is.- Well done!
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Now, your epern, lady.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Green glass table epern, 19th-century, where shall we start?
0:23:57 > 0:23:59£40?
0:23:59 > 0:24:0340 bid, 45 now. At £40, and 45, do I see?
0:24:03 > 0:24:1045, several places, 50. 55, 60. Either of you, 60? 65, 70, 75.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14At £70, by the pillar. At 70, and 75, do I see?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17At £70, that's standing.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Gosh, he's done well! £70, that's above his top estimate.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24That's minus 20, which means overall, you are now minus 10,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27and here we go with the gin bottle.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30The 18th-century continental glass bottle.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Oh, he's called it 18th-century.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33And start the bidding, I've got one, two bids on it.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36And £60 starts, and 65 now?
0:24:36 > 0:24:44At £60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 110.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49120, 130, 140, 150, 160.
0:24:49 > 0:24:56170, we have in the room. 170 at the back. 180 now. At 170, 180 anywhere?
0:24:57 > 0:25:01170, he sold it for 170, you clever chicken, you!
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Well, that's good, isn't it? That's a profit of £80.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08£80 profit, who would have thought it? Isn't that brilliant?
0:25:08 > 0:25:13Well done, darling. So, overall, you are plus £70, all right? £70 up!
0:25:13 > 0:25:16The big question now is, what are you going to do?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19You've got £70 in the bank, are you going to go with
0:25:19 > 0:25:21the Arts and Crafts rack?
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Are you going to risk some of that £70,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28which could be a winning score, you could hammer the bosses
0:25:28 > 0:25:32if you hang on to your £70, or are you going to try
0:25:32 > 0:25:35and multiply it a bit by going with the rack? What's your plan?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37We thought we'd trust Thomas, we want to go with it.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- You sure you're happy about this, Jane?- Yes.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43So, we are going with the bonus buy, and here it comes.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47The Arts and Crafts oak wall-hanging letter rack, great hinges,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50£30 for it, please. 30.
0:25:50 > 0:25:5330, really stylish lot, £30. Who wants it?
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Oh, no, please!
0:25:54 > 0:25:5730? 20, then.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Oh, dear!- Oh, it's worth that, come on! £30, someone?
0:26:00 > 0:26:0520 bid, 22, do I see? 22, yes, 25? 25, 28.
0:26:05 > 0:26:0728 and 30?
0:26:07 > 0:26:0928 has it. At £28. Thought it would make loads more than that!
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- Thought it would make loads more! - At 28. 30, do you want one more?
0:26:13 > 0:26:1730, well done. 32? No?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20At £30, on the right. At 30, to the right of the room.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Selling, it's against you, are you sure? £30.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29- Oh, no!- It's fine, it's OK. - £30 is minus £45!
0:26:29 > 0:26:35You had that lovely £70 profit, you went with the bonus buy, 45, 60...
0:26:35 > 0:26:36You are plus £25.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Well, you win some, you lose some.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44But the Blues still made a profit of £25, making them the winners,
0:26:44 > 0:26:48as remember, the Reds made a loss of £50.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Coming up, two more teams go on the hunt for bargains.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54But first, I'm off to somewhere really very grand.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13I'm at Tissington Hall on the Tissington estate, a few miles
0:27:13 > 0:27:18outside Ashbourne in Derbyshire, in the village called Tissington.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21This magnificent house has been in the FitzHerbert family
0:27:21 > 0:27:25for over 400 years - how Tiss-tastic is that?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29'Hmm. As you might expect,
0:27:29 > 0:27:33'that continuity of ownership has helped accumulate,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36'under one roof, a fine collection of family furniture.'
0:27:39 > 0:27:42And here, in the East Drawing Room,
0:27:42 > 0:27:46which, strangely enough, is on the first floor, we've got
0:27:46 > 0:27:50an arrangement of precious family possessions, including
0:27:50 > 0:27:55the dominating piece in here, which is this break front bookcase.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Originally made to contain books,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01it's been converted later to hold china.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Now, each of these pieces is identifiable to
0:28:05 > 0:28:10the FitzHerbert family as a result of this coat of arms.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12And what happened was,
0:28:12 > 0:28:16you'd send a drawing of your coat of arms to China,
0:28:16 > 0:28:22and the Chinese would then carefully make 144 pieces in the order,
0:28:22 > 0:28:26it would take a year to send the drawing out to the Far East,
0:28:26 > 0:28:30it might take the Chinese another year to make all the pieces
0:28:30 > 0:28:34and decorate them, including the armorial piece,
0:28:34 > 0:28:37and then a year to bring it back to Britain.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40If we turn this over, you can see it's got no marks.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42And what would happen
0:28:42 > 0:28:47if you broke a piece of this Chinese export dinnerware?
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Would you want to send back to China
0:28:49 > 0:28:52and wait another three years before you got a replacement?
0:28:52 > 0:28:55No, I don't think you would.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00If I pick up this circular fluted bowl, called a fruit bowl,
0:29:00 > 0:29:03specifically to hold strawberries,
0:29:03 > 0:29:06it looks just like the Chinese original, with
0:29:06 > 0:29:11the coat of arms in the middle, but if I turn it over, it says Spode!
0:29:11 > 0:29:16And this is the Spode mark for about 1780.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20So, somebody in the 18th century did break a few pieces
0:29:20 > 0:29:22of the FitzHerbert service,
0:29:22 > 0:29:26but they went down to Stoke-on-Trent to get the replacements.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Meanwhile, back at Swinderby, let's hope the only thing that gets broken today
0:29:30 > 0:29:33is the record for highest profits at auction!
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Time to meet our new pairs of Reds and Blues.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41So today for the Reds, we've got friends Neil and Pete,
0:29:41 > 0:29:45and Margaret and Debbie for the Blues, who are mother and daughter.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48The big question is, which is the mother and which is the daughter?
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Oh, she's going to be cross with me in a minute!
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Now, you guys. Neil, how did you two meet?
0:29:54 > 0:30:00Pete and I work together at a secondary school, Springwell Community School in Chesterfield,
0:30:00 > 0:30:03and we help run a behavioural improvement centre.
0:30:03 > 0:30:08Now, Pete, before you started work at the centre, you came from a completely different background.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I did, I did, Tim. Yeah, I was a design manager
0:30:11 > 0:30:16at a glass manufacturers, local glass manufacturers in Chesterfield, for many years.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18About 32 years I worked there.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Really? How do you two think you're going to get on in this competition?
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Tremendously well, cos I've got the age and experience and...
0:30:24 > 0:30:27I have the youth and enthusiasm, Tim.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29That's what we need. I love a prediction.
0:30:29 > 0:30:35That's what we've got. What's actually going to happen? Ohh! Now for the naughty Blues.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Have you forgiven me for my cheap jibe?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- Just, just.- Thank you.
0:30:40 > 0:30:45- You're very beautiful, and also passionate about a lot of things, aren't you?- I am, yes.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46Tell us about your passions.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50I love amateur dramatics and murder-mystery parties and things like that,
0:30:50 > 0:30:52and I've been doing it from a very young age.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57- I actually played my first role at a month old as Baby Jesus. - Was she good? I bet she was good.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00She was all right till nearly the end and she started to cry.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03People thought she was a doll, and then they knew it was a real baby!
0:31:03 > 0:31:08- Yes. Well, we can tell today that she IS a doll, which is really lovely.- Oh, thank you.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10How do you think you're going to get on today, Mags?
0:31:10 > 0:31:14Well, we work together really well so we should be all right with each other,
0:31:14 > 0:31:20but the only problem is we're not very good losers, and I'm especially bad.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25Really? What happens if you get on a losing streak, then?
0:31:25 > 0:31:30- Mardy is the word.- Mardy? - Mardy.- What's mardy?
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Mardy?
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- Do you know what mardy means?- Yes.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39I've never, ever heard that before. Mardy is angry, then, is it?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Well, miserable and upset and cross and...
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Is that what you call "right mardy"?
0:31:44 > 0:31:49- Yes!- Is that it? OK, we've got the regional inflection here.
0:31:49 > 0:31:54Well, before everybody gets "right mardy", we'll have the money moment, then. Here's £300.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57£300 apiece. You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!
0:32:01 > 0:32:04So, £300 and one hour to find three items, eh?
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Looks like Catherine's straight in, with a bit of glamour.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14So you press... Pull this up here...lipstick pops out.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17There you go. There's your mirror.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- Bit of lipstick. - Mmm. It is quite nice.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Pop it in...
0:32:21 > 0:32:24I know it's not very old, but it's quite attractive.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29Yeah, age-wise, I think it can only be...probably '50s.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Yeah. It is quite attractive, though.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33What do you like about it?
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Well, I just like the shape and I like, you know...
0:32:36 > 0:32:38An unusual mechanism which is quite nice.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Yeah, I like the way it works...
0:32:40 > 0:32:41- The mother-of-pearl.- Yeah.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44It's functional, isn't it? It could actually be used.
0:32:44 > 0:32:50The maximum we are going to get is really about £20 for something like this, to be honest.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Can I ask, what's your price on this?
0:32:53 > 0:32:58I've got 15 on it, but for a pretty face I'll always do it for 12.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Is that MY pretty face?
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Which pretty face is that?!
0:33:04 > 0:33:05Um...
0:33:05 > 0:33:12I mean, to stand any chance of making any profit, we'll want to get this for about eight.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14- OK.- Or ten.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Would you sell it at eight, ten?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- You never say the highest price. - I'll do nine.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25In the middle of the eight and ten - nine.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- Eight and we'll buy it. - He's a hard man...
0:33:27 > 0:33:30If we lose, we can only lose £8 on it.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32That's what I was thinking. It's not bad, is it?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Go on, then, buy it. Buy it, do it.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37That's it, Catherine -
0:33:37 > 0:33:41shame them into it! There's no room for indecision in this game.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Especially with the opposition hot on their heels.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Look at that. This is white metal.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53It's not stamped silver, but this is a lovely crest, isn't it?
0:33:53 > 0:33:58- They would've been mounted onto a cup, something to do with the family etc.- Right.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02But what's so interesting - this is enamel in here and it's really lovely quality.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Yeah, the colours are really so vibrant, aren't they?
0:34:05 > 0:34:06Very sharp, aren't they?
0:34:06 > 0:34:08£90 for the pair.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13What sort of price do you think you'd expect to get for them?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Between £80 and £120 at auction. They're very nice things, actually.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20They're very attractive, because they're perfect, the enamel is good
0:34:20 > 0:34:23and you've got a collectible because people are interested in...
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Social historians are interested in collecting armorials,
0:34:26 > 0:34:30- or people buy things for...people who are researching their families. - Yeah.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- They're small and pretty, and we both like small and pretty. - We do, yeah.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36They're small and pretty, aren't they?
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- It's our sort of thing, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42- Do you want to go for them?- Yeah, that'd be great.- Yeah.- Oh, brilliant. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45And let's hope small and pretty will equal big profits.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Over with the Reds, Catherine appears to be hearing voices.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57OK, anything here talking to you?
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Anything here you can see?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00I just like that.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Ah, now, why do you like these?
0:35:03 > 0:35:06I don't know. I think toys always seem to go well, don't they?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09You get a lot of toy collectors...
0:35:09 > 0:35:10"Mamod".
0:35:10 > 0:35:13I quite like this one. I know it looks a bit battered.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18I must say, I prefer this one.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- Do you? - How does this one actually work?
0:35:20 > 0:35:25I think you put a little... That's it, a little burner in it and it actually works by steam.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Oh, I see. Yeah. So you put like, meths or something in there...
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- Yeah.- That's for the meths burner and it goes in.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Right, OK.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Sorry, what did you say it was?
0:35:34 > 0:35:38I've got it on at 95. I can do something on it.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Yeah, I think we'd want to go quite a bit lower than that, to be honest,
0:35:41 > 0:35:44if we're going to stand any chance of making profit.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45I could do 70.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49So that when you're floating around and deciding and making your mind up...
0:35:49 > 0:35:51There's still movement in it.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56- What do you think about that, chaps? - NEIL: It's quite nice, but I think 70's perhaps a bit expensive.
0:35:56 > 0:36:02I think probably you would get about 70 for it, I think, at the auction.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03- Shall we have a think?- Yeah, yeah.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Let's press on. Thank you very much.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- Thank you ever so much.- Thank you.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14They might have started off quickly, but indecision is rearing its ugly head again.
0:36:14 > 0:36:19The girls have found something they like, but seem to have lost Thomas. Ha!
0:36:20 > 0:36:22That jug there...
0:36:27 > 0:36:29So why do you like the tankard?
0:36:29 > 0:36:35I like glassware, and I really like the colour and it's very eye-catching.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39And I love crystal so, you know, all the detail in it is really pretty.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41It's Bohemian.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Oh, right, which I should've recognised because I collect Bohemia!
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Well, it is Bohemian. Do you know what this technique is called here -
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- this sort of red and the colourless here, the clear glass?- No.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54It's called flashed. It's flashed.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58What happens is, the blower blows their clear piece of glass and then
0:36:58 > 0:37:05he dips it into the red colourway, and then makes the tankard itself with the casing of the red over it.
0:37:05 > 0:37:10Then, this cutting here is done by a diamond wheel, so a diamond wheel spinning
0:37:10 > 0:37:15extremely fast, and the cutter puts the glass against the diamond wheel.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- I think we should go for it.- Yeah? - Yeah.- What do you think, Margaret?
0:37:18 > 0:37:22Well, I daren't disagree with her, really. She's the boss!
0:37:22 > 0:37:26- Really?- Oh, I'm really scared of her, actually, most of the time!- Really?- Yes!
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- I think it's a good spot. - Excellent.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33- Do you want to go and do the deal? - Yes, please.- I think you could work your magic.- I think I will!
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Debbie did the deal,
0:37:38 > 0:37:41and managed to pick up the Bohemian tankard for £70,
0:37:41 > 0:37:45leaving them £150 for their final item.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47The rain might be pouring down -
0:37:47 > 0:37:50but the teams are having fun spending the cash.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Look at the Reds, for instance. They've spent a massive £8.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57That's almost as miserable as the weather!
0:37:57 > 0:38:01- Shall we bypass the stall with the engine?- The steam engine, yeah.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Right, I'm going to leave it to you. - OK.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Is there any chance you could let us have it for 60?
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- The lowest we can go is 60. - The lowest?- The highest. - Shall we go higher, then?
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- No, the highest!- The highest we can go is 60, definitely.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16What about 65?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Yeah, go on, then, 65.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23I'm happy at 65. Pete?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25It's a lovely...it's a lovely...
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- Would have been better at 60. - It would've, quite right, but...
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- So? Shall we shake on it? - Yeah, smashing, deal.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Is that OK? Thank you very much.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Good work, chaps. Good work.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Fantastic. Can't complain with that.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Well, that's the art of negotiation for you.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Sometimes you have to pay that extra fiver to get what you want.
0:38:43 > 0:38:49- Hats off to you both. Well done. - Thank you.- OK, let's go inside.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Don't speak too soon, Catherine.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Time is running out, and you've got one item yet to get.
0:38:54 > 0:39:00The good news is that there's an enormous £227 left in the Reds' kitty.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03That's if the team can stick together.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07Anything...? We've lost... We've lost a member of our team. Where's Neil?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Can you see where he is?
0:39:11 > 0:39:13While the Reds are going AWOL...
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Pete? It's not only me wandering off.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18..the Blues are suffering from a slight obsession.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Well, Margaret is anyway.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- What would that have been for? - It's an inkwell.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25What's that, then?
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- Again, it's an inkwell. You're obsessed by inkwells!- Oh, sorry!
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Another inkwell set for you here.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33So what do you think of this?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36What do you think it could be, bargain-hunters?
0:39:36 > 0:39:37It's another inkwell!
0:39:37 > 0:39:40- Oh, Mum!- Determined to have an inkwell, aren't I?
0:39:40 > 0:39:44And it's obviously for a ship because it's weighted, very heavily weighted.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48They're very collectible, but this is getting ridiculous!
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Even the Reds are getting in on the act.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55I just saw a little inkwell that was like a bear, carved bear.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Oh, yeah? How much was it?
0:39:57 > 0:39:59There were no price on it.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02What's come over you lot?!
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Can Catherine get their attention on something other than an inkwell?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Look at this. Any ideas on what it is? It's absolutely wonderful.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- No.- A beach ball for a teddy bear?
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- I like it, I like it! Not quite. - Oh, it looks as though it...
0:40:15 > 0:40:19Look at this. If we just open it up...
0:40:19 > 0:40:21- Oh, nice.- An inkwell.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23There we are. Isn't that lovely?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Is that the original innard?
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Well, it fits quite snugly.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29I would say that it probably is.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33These sort of novelty inkwells are often made in Austria.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35But I love this,
0:40:35 > 0:40:39I really love this because it's leather on the outside,
0:40:39 > 0:40:43- in the form of a... Feel that.- It is very nice.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- It's absolutely gorgeous. - It is meant to be a ball?
0:40:45 > 0:40:49Yeah, it's basically a travelling inkwell. It's in beautiful condition.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- So how much is he asking for this? - It's a lot of money.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56£185.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Is it worth £185 at auction, though? Would you be looking at a profit?
0:40:59 > 0:41:03It's a lot of money. I mean, this is the sort of thing that a private buyer's going to go for.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07- Do you want to go and see if you can haggle? - Yeah, let's haggle.- We'll haggle.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10What's your absolute rock bottom on this?
0:41:10 > 0:41:12It would be 150.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- 150?- Can we meet in between?
0:41:15 > 0:41:19- Could we meet in the middle? - I'll meet in the middle at 145. I can't do any better.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20145. Pete?
0:41:20 > 0:41:25- Yeah.- All I can say is, that is a lovely item.- It is nice.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28So the Reds have all three items, leaving the Blues searching
0:41:28 > 0:41:33for their third. Has Thomas found something that the girls will like?
0:41:33 > 0:41:39It's a 19th-century painted, gilded, papier-mache letter safe, so you'd put your letters in there...
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Oh, now, I like that. Who would buy this, then, do you think?
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Very good question. Who would buy it? Yes.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47I think there are Victoriana collectors out there.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49There's also people who are setting up
0:41:49 > 0:41:53room settings, decorators, looking at the materials of the object -
0:41:53 > 0:41:57papier-mache, hand-painted, mother-of-pearl, abalone...
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Do you think it'll sell well in auction?
0:41:59 > 0:42:02It always has a value. Do you know what I mean?
0:42:02 > 0:42:03- Yes.- It always has a quality value.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06There's quality to it.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09It's not going to sell for nothing. It certainly has something to it.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11It's on for £135.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15I've got £35 off, so it's £100.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- Ooh, that's what I sort of... - It's £100.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21And what do you think it'd fetch in an auction?
0:42:21 > 0:42:22That's a good question.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- It sounds a lot of money. - It is a lot of money.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30I think it's a very nice object, and it's at that sort of money, I think, at £100 to £150.
0:42:30 > 0:42:35- I suppose it depends who's there. - It does, but it's a quality item.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37- Right, we'll go for it. - We'll go for it.
0:42:37 > 0:42:42Brilliant. I'm going to go and do the deal. You've been a pleasure. After the hour, I still love you.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44- Oh, that's good.- We love you too!
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Time's up. Both teams have all three items.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54The lipstick holder is an unusual choice for our two blokes,
0:42:54 > 0:42:59but only £8 are at stake when it goes under the hammer.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Will the steam roller make Peter proud,
0:43:01 > 0:43:06and make more than the £65 that were paid?
0:43:06 > 0:43:11After all the inkwells that were for sale, only one was bought,
0:43:11 > 0:43:13and this was this novelty beach ball.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18You spent, what, £212?
0:43:18 > 0:43:20- 18.- 218.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23You spent £218, that's brilliant.
0:43:23 > 0:43:27So we want £82 of leftover lolly, please...
0:43:27 > 0:43:31- Thank you.- ..which is quite a nice amount, isn't it? - Yeah, it's a very nice amount.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33I hope it's stopped raining out there.
0:43:33 > 0:43:38Well, I'm definitely heading outside, I think, cos I think we've exhausted inside.
0:43:38 > 0:43:39So time to go out, I think.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42- Find something decent. Good luck. - Thank you.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45Now, let's find out how the Blues are getting on.
0:43:45 > 0:43:49These two enamel armorials were the Blues' first buy,
0:43:49 > 0:43:52but were they a bargain at £80?
0:43:52 > 0:43:55The Blues continued their spending spree
0:43:55 > 0:44:01when Debbie spotted the Bohemian tankard and negotiated a £70 deal.
0:44:01 > 0:44:06Finally, if there ARE any Victoriana collectors at the auction,
0:44:06 > 0:44:11the team might be in luck with the £100 blotter.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14So you spent £250, all right?
0:44:14 > 0:44:16250 of the 300, which we really like.
0:44:16 > 0:44:22And that means we're going to have to have £50 to pass over to Thomas.
0:44:22 > 0:44:23There you go, Thomas. £50.
0:44:23 > 0:44:27- What are you going to do with the £50? Something interesting? - I think something very interesting.
0:44:27 > 0:44:31It's getting to the end of the day and I need to rush out there.
0:44:31 > 0:44:35- You do need to get your leg down. - Get us something great! - Your leg over and your foot down.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37Something like that, anyway.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45- Great. Lovely to be here, James Lewis.- Good to see you.
0:44:45 > 0:44:51We've trotted down to Derby to be at Bamfords Auctioneers. Now, Neil and Pete, the Reds, their first item...
0:44:51 > 0:44:53Pretty macabre group of things, I have to say!
0:44:53 > 0:44:55- Yes.- ..is the lipstick holder.
0:44:55 > 0:44:57How do you rate that, James?
0:44:57 > 0:44:59I think it's a really nasty little object...
0:44:59 > 0:45:03- Oh, do you?- I do. But it's by Stratton and they're a good maker.
0:45:03 > 0:45:08If it was a compact, there'd be people queuing up for it. But it doesn't have a great deal of age,
0:45:08 > 0:45:11it's pretending to be mother-of-pearl, but it's plastic.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13It's pretending to be gold, but it's...
0:45:13 > 0:45:16- Tin?- Tin, yes.- Fair enough.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18There's not a huge amount of money in it.
0:45:18 > 0:45:23- So are you going to put a pound or two on it?- Less than ten.- Less than ten. Well, they paid eight.
0:45:23 > 0:45:27- Next is the steam roller, the little Mamod steam roller.- Yeah.
0:45:27 > 0:45:29It's a great nostalgia purchase.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31I've still got mine.
0:45:31 > 0:45:36I think mine was about third-hand when I got it and I think they're worth about £30, £40.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39- In brilliant condition? - Yeah. I mean, boxed.
0:45:39 > 0:45:44- A lot still come through the salerooms in their original boxes and tend to make £60, £70.- Yes.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47- Is that £20 worth, do you think? - Yeah, 30 I should think. Hopefully.
0:45:47 > 0:45:51- £65 Peter paid for that.- Gosh.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54- Which is plenty enough, really, isn't it?- Hot in the head, I think.
0:45:54 > 0:45:58And lastly, we've got this seriously wacky,
0:45:58 > 0:46:02but rather wonderful in a way, beach-ball inkwell.
0:46:02 > 0:46:06So probably worth what, do you think?
0:46:06 > 0:46:09- £40, something like that.- OK.
0:46:09 > 0:46:13I can now tell you...that Catherine paid £145 for this.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15HE GASPS No!
0:46:15 > 0:46:17That's enough to make your ink dry, isn't it?
0:46:17 > 0:46:21I might be missing something, Catherine might be right, but...gosh!
0:46:21 > 0:46:24For James Lewis to be at a loss for words is unusual.
0:46:24 > 0:46:28Anyway...I think what we're saying here is that they're going to need
0:46:28 > 0:46:32their Bonus Buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34Now, it's not a miniature telescope.
0:46:34 > 0:46:37It is... Isn't that lovely?
0:46:37 > 0:46:42A little gentleman's travelling case with these little bottles.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45Could be used for scent or toiletries.
0:46:45 > 0:46:49I'd like to think they put a bit of whisky in there myself, a bit of gin.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51How much did you spend? How much was it?
0:46:51 > 0:46:54I actually only spent £12 on that, which I think is rather good,
0:46:54 > 0:46:57because I really like the shape of these bottles.
0:46:57 > 0:47:01£12? Is that all you spent?
0:47:01 > 0:47:03- Yeah.- That's unbelievable.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06You going to ask her for a prediction as to how much she thinks it might make?
0:47:06 > 0:47:10- Will it make more than £12? That's the big question.- Got to be 40, 50.
0:47:10 > 0:47:14- I'd have said, yeah, £20, £30 at least.- 15, 20...
0:47:14 > 0:47:17You're all experts on this programme. It's brilliant.
0:47:17 > 0:47:22Now, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's little lot.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25I like it. Seen better days, hasn't it?
0:47:25 > 0:47:26This is all a little bit rubbed.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29- Case is a bit tired.- But, yeah...
0:47:29 > 0:47:34- What do you think it's worth? - It's worth 30 quid, isn't it? - Perfect. £12 paid.- Oh, brilliant.
0:47:34 > 0:47:38That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues, Debbie and Margaret.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41Their first item are these two cartouches.
0:47:41 > 0:47:45Nicely enamelled, but not marked. You'd think they'd be solid silver.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49Yes, it's annoying not having any marks. But how much do you think for the two of them?
0:47:49 > 0:47:53I think they're great quality. I'm just not sure what somebody would do with them.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55Um...40-60?
0:47:55 > 0:47:58- £80 paid.- I think that's toppish.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00What about the flashed glass tankard?
0:48:00 > 0:48:05It's a good quality object, but who wants it? That's the thing.
0:48:05 > 0:48:10We don't have a great lidded-tankard sort of culture here, do we?
0:48:10 > 0:48:14It's the sort of thing that might do well in Germany, in Bavaria, that sort of thing.
0:48:14 > 0:48:18- Yes. But we're in Derby. - Yeah, we are.- Yeah, that's true.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21So what's the Derby man's estimate on that?
0:48:21 > 0:48:24I think 30-50, £40-£60, something like that.
0:48:24 > 0:48:28- £70 paid.- I think that's too much. - That's two things that are too much.
0:48:28 > 0:48:32- Now, what about the papier-mache folder?- Lovely, isn't it?
0:48:32 > 0:48:36It's great quality, nicely painted, and in good order, so I like it.
0:48:36 > 0:48:38What did they pay?
0:48:38 > 0:48:39Er, £100.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42Ohh! Gosh, I've done it again.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45- It's another "Oh, gosh". - How much do you think?
0:48:45 > 0:48:47I think it's too much again. £50 to £80.
0:48:47 > 0:48:51We're talking about estimates which are half the price paid
0:48:51 > 0:48:55for all three of these items, so they're going to need their Bonus Buy. Let's go and have a look at it.
0:48:58 > 0:49:03A very fine, Edward VII, silver capstan inkwell.
0:49:03 > 0:49:06- And what did you pay for it?- £45.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08What do you think it's going to make?
0:49:08 > 0:49:12I'd say there's probably about five tri-ounces of silver,
0:49:12 > 0:49:16five eights are forty... Probably a little bit more for that.
0:49:16 > 0:49:21- Maybe £50.- Right.- 50 to 80? It would be a travesty if it doesn't make that.
0:49:21 > 0:49:23A travesty. Hold onto those words.
0:49:23 > 0:49:29- We will.- For the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Tom's travesty.
0:49:29 > 0:49:33What's this? "From Mr and Mrs Edmund Butler".
0:49:33 > 0:49:37- A great military inscription would be super.- Yeah.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39It's not a great object.
0:49:39 > 0:49:43At least it's practical, it's useful. It's solid silver, so £30.
0:49:43 > 0:49:46- On a good day? - Yeah.- Let's hope it's a good day.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48He paid £45 as a Bonus Buy.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50- I think that's too much. - Tight, isn't it?
0:49:50 > 0:49:54- But nothing's too much for you, James.- I'll try! - No responsibility(!)
0:49:54 > 0:49:56- Good luck.- Thank you.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04You two look as if you're about to be led out to be shot!
0:50:04 > 0:50:07- What's the matter with you? - Anticipation, slightly nervous.
0:50:07 > 0:50:11- It's nerves.- Are you nervous? - Terribly nervous.- Why's that?
0:50:11 > 0:50:13We don't like losing money.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15- Even though it's our money. - Yeah, well...
0:50:15 > 0:50:18No, quite right too. That is a proper attitude to take.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21Good Bargain Hunt contestants.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24The first lot up is the lipstick case, and here it comes.
0:50:24 > 0:50:262881 is the gilt metal
0:50:26 > 0:50:30and mother-of-pearl lipstick holder and mirror,
0:50:30 > 0:50:34and where shall we start that? £20 somewhere? 20...
0:50:34 > 0:50:3615 if you like.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38£15? 10, then?
0:50:38 > 0:50:40It's a Stratton one. Nice quality.
0:50:40 > 0:50:44- £10. Who'd like it? £10? - Come on!- Come on!
0:50:44 > 0:50:47Come on, girls, for the night out.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49£5, then?
0:50:49 > 0:50:51Anybody want this? At £5...
0:50:53 > 0:50:545 on the aisle.
0:50:54 > 0:50:57I thought we were going to have to break you all and go below £5 then.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00At 5 on the aisle, at £5. 6 now?
0:51:00 > 0:51:03At 6, 7, 8...
0:51:03 > 0:51:05£7. On the aisle at 7.
0:51:05 > 0:51:08Do I see £8 anywhere? Do you want 8?
0:51:08 > 0:51:10Come back, another try...? No.
0:51:10 > 0:51:11At 7, it's yours.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13It's £7. That's bad luck,
0:51:13 > 0:51:14it's minus £1.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17- Only- £1. That is close, isn't it?
0:51:17 > 0:51:20The steam roller now. Here it comes.
0:51:20 > 0:51:222882, the Mamod steam roller,
0:51:22 > 0:51:25and I've got one, two, three, four, five, six,
0:51:25 > 0:51:28seven, eight bids,
0:51:28 > 0:51:31and I'm afraid they're all almost identical...
0:51:31 > 0:51:33- Oh.- Oh, well.
0:51:33 > 0:51:37£24. At £24 - 25, do I see?
0:51:37 > 0:51:40At £24... 25, do I see?
0:51:41 > 0:51:4325, 26, 27,
0:51:43 > 0:51:4628, and 29 beats them all.
0:51:46 > 0:51:50At 29... 30, 32, 34, 36...
0:51:50 > 0:51:52- Something's happening.- Come on!
0:51:52 > 0:51:5538? 38 for you.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57At 36 - 38, do I see?
0:51:57 > 0:52:00At 36, all sure?
0:52:00 > 0:52:02- At 36...- That's not bad. - GAVEL BANGS
0:52:02 > 0:52:05£36 is four short of 40.
0:52:05 > 0:52:0725, £29.
0:52:07 > 0:52:11- Minus £29. You are minus £30 overall, all right?- Yeah.
0:52:11 > 0:52:12So, now the inkwell.
0:52:12 > 0:52:16..The leather and brass inkwell in the form of a beach ball,
0:52:16 > 0:52:19and again, lots of bidding on it.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21Um...
0:52:21 > 0:52:24Five bids, and £45 takes it.
0:52:24 > 0:52:2845, 50 now? At 45 - 50, do I see?
0:52:28 > 0:52:31At 45. 50? At 45...
0:52:31 > 0:52:34Anybody in the room? 50, 5...?
0:52:34 > 0:52:37It's against you at £55.
0:52:37 > 0:52:3960 anywhere? At 55. Do I see 60?
0:52:39 > 0:52:43- So disappointing.- At 55... GAVEL BANGS
0:52:43 > 0:52:46£55. I make that minus £90.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48- That was not good. - Doesn't sound too bad...
0:52:48 > 0:52:50if you say it quickly,
0:52:50 > 0:52:53which means overall, you are minus £120. Minus 120, OK?
0:52:53 > 0:52:56What are you going to do about the scent-bottle holder?
0:52:56 > 0:53:01- Yes.- Definitely.- Going with that? Not a lot of choice there, is there?
0:53:01 > 0:53:02We know that'll make a profit.
0:53:02 > 0:53:082887 is this gentleman's leather spirit flask. There we are.
0:53:08 > 0:53:11Great for a picnic or something like that,
0:53:11 > 0:53:15and I can start the bidding at £20.
0:53:15 > 0:53:16At 20 and 2 now.
0:53:16 > 0:53:20At £20 - and 2, do I see? 22, 25, 28...
0:53:20 > 0:53:21I want lots of interest in this.
0:53:21 > 0:53:24- Yeah. - At £30 with me - and 2, do I see?
0:53:24 > 0:53:26At £30, 32 now?
0:53:26 > 0:53:29- At 30... Anybody else? - This is brilliant.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31£30... GAVEL BANGS
0:53:31 > 0:53:34- £30, then.- Well done, Catherine. - That is plus £18,
0:53:34 > 0:53:37- which means you are minus 102. - That's not good.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40That could be a winning score...!
0:53:42 > 0:53:44Fingers crossed. Let's hope.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47You never know, if things go really badly for the Blues.
0:53:47 > 0:53:50No, seriously - £102 minus.
0:53:50 > 0:53:52- Don't say a word to them. - No, we won't.- No.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54We'll reveal all in a moment.
0:53:59 > 0:54:02- How are you feeling? - Not too bad, thank you.- Not too bad?
0:54:02 > 0:54:04A bit nervous, but not too bad.
