0:00:03 > 0:00:07On today's hour-long special,
0:00:07 > 0:00:13our teams include two lots of hairstylists.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16So, will today be their crowning glory
0:00:16 > 0:00:19or will they simply curl up and die?
0:00:19 > 0:00:21There's only one way to find out.
0:00:21 > 0:00:26Get out from under the dryer and let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:49 > 0:00:52We've come to the Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells
0:00:52 > 0:00:54for today's action-packed programme.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Nothing's going to be cut. Oh, no.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59We've tweaked the format
0:00:59 > 0:01:04so that you get even more of the Bargain Hunt you know and love.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Right now, though, let's have a quick squint as to what's coming up.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11On today's show, we have plenty of highlights.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13The Reds work out on the shop.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Yeah, I'm not sure about this one.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- How are your abs? Are they firming up as we speak?- They are.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24While the Blues have buckets of fun.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- Quite fetching, you know.- You like?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Another helmet here. This one fits much better!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31THEY ALL LAUGH
0:01:31 > 0:01:33What do you think? So much better!
0:01:33 > 0:01:36But who will take the winning crown at auction?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Yeah.- Yes.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40£28. £30.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Oooh!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50Today, our teams are a cut above the rest. Ha!
0:01:50 > 0:01:55Because we have a team of barbers, Ash and Sam,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59versus a team of hairdressers, Jess and Colleen.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Hello, everyone.- ALL:- Hello! - Hello! Hello.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Now, Ash, how was it that you two became friends?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07We work in the same salon.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08So, we do a lot of work together
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- and we've just become close doing a lot of hair work.- Mm-hm.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14We do a lot of photographic work and stage work together, so...
0:02:14 > 0:02:15- Stage work!- Yeah.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Who comes to watch on stage? Student barbers and hairdressers?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Yeah, just hairdressers of every level.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Well, the marvellous thing about barbering and hairdressing
0:02:22 > 0:02:25is that everybody's hair is going to grow at a rate of what?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Half an inch a month. - Half an inch a... Is that all?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Pretty much.- Really? OK, fine. But it's all going to grow, isn't it?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- It's going to grow. - That's great for business.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Now, Ash, you're a rising star in the hairdressing world.- I am, yes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I won an award last year, Best Stylist,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42gave to me from the Fellowship of British Hairdressing.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- In Britain?- Oh, I wish! - THEY LAUGH
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- In the future.- Yeah. Maybe, like you said, a future rising star.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50So, where was the competition held, then?
0:02:50 > 0:02:51It was all throughout the year, actually,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53and I was judged throughout the year,
0:02:53 > 0:02:57and then it was gave to me at the Grosvenor House in London.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- So, it was a little posh do. - That's very posh, isn't it?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- It was very posh, yes.- Yeah.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Now, Sam, do you prefer cutting or showing?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I like both, actually. I like doing the cut and then showing it after.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Now, tell me, I'm intrigued by your hairdo,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11because how do you get this bouffant look
0:03:11 > 0:03:14where there's so much in the middle and so little on the sides?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Well, Ash does the sides, takes them off nice and short,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19and then a lot of back-combing and half a can of hairspray.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21And do you put... Hairspray, is it?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24It's not, kind of, egg yolk and a whole load of mixtures like that?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- No. Just hairspray.- Is it? - There's a little hole in the ozone layer above my house.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29THEY LAUGH
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- I must say, it looks absolutely fantastic.- Thank you.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- Well, good luck, chaps.- Thank you.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- Meanwhile, for the girls, Jess.- Hi.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Your friendship goes back a long way, doesn't it, with Colleen?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40- Yep.- Tell us about that.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Well, I met Colleen, oh, God, about 25 years ago, wasn't it?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Even though I don't look old enough, do I?- I know.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- You were three at the time. - I was. Only just out of nappies.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Exactly. Not in your long trousers, even.- No.- No.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- I met her in...- That's cool.- Yeah.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57No, in the little local village, actually.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- And I went on to marry her brother. - Oh, I see!
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- How lovely is that? - So, we're sister-in-laws.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- So there really is a strong connection there.- Yeah, yeah. - Well, that's absolutely super.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08So, when you're not together, what do you get up to, Jess?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I've got lots of animals. So I spend all my time with my animals, really.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I've got horses, dogs...
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Do your children go in for these animals too?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- My daughter's big into showing, so we show here at the Royal Welsh Show.- Oh, do you?- Every July.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Now, Colleen.- Yes?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Jess obviously loves working with you.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Tell me a bit more about your business.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Well, I've actually got a hair and beauty salon,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29and then at the very front of the shop,
0:04:29 > 0:04:32we have clothes and shoes and all, like, ladies' accessories,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34and we make our own jewellery
0:04:34 > 0:04:36and we make our own hair accessories as well.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- Oh, do you? - And so, between that and doing the hair and beauty, we're very busy.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Sounds more like a hobby than a business.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- Is it like that, your business? - Yeah. I've done it for 30 years.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46So, you've got to love it to stay there for 30 years
0:04:46 > 0:04:49doing hairdressing, haven't you, really, and beauty?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52But, yeah, I ended up doing the clothes and all the bits and bobs, the extra bits, yeah.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55And what about weddings? Do you like doing wedding hairdressing?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57No! We don't do brides! They're nightmares!
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Are they? Oh, right. They're not good?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Well, they're... - They're fussy, I suppose?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- They moan and groan and want to look too beautiful, don't they?- Yeah.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Now, you two being such great mates,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08this shopping today is going to be no problem, right?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- No problem?- Hopefully. - Hopefully not.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Mmm. In unison, "Hopefully not." - We do like to disagree sometimes.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Oh, do you?- Mmm. - We don't know that much, really.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- It doesn't matter, though, does it? - Oh, we'll have a bit of fun.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Just like the boys are here for a bit of fun. Which is great.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- Now, here comes your £300. - Thank you very much.- £300 apiece.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27You know the rules. Your experts await, and off you go!
0:05:27 > 0:05:29And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Do you think I could have a haircut like that?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Now, let's meet our experts.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37A good head on wise shoulders, Caroline Hawley,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39will be assisting the Reds.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43And ready to bail out the Blues is Colin Young.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Ready to go?- Absolutely. - Yeah, definitely.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51What are your plans for today? What are you looking for, both of you?
0:05:51 > 0:05:55- Thinking vintage.- Yeah. - A bit quirky.- Bit quirky.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Are you looking forward to this? - Oh, yeah!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Yeah? Have you got a plan? - No, not really.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Just go for whatever we like, really.- OK.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Something that will appeal to the mass market...- Right.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- ..at a good price.- A good... Right. No pressure, then.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- No pressure.- No pressure.- OK.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- It's got to jump out at us and say, "Buy me!"- "Buy me"?- Biggest loss!
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Biggest loss? We're here to make profit!
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Let's see what we can find. Come on.- OK.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Right, teams. Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Start shopping.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23SHE BLOWS HORN
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- Nearly! - SHE LAUGHS
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- How much is on it? - 45 quid. I like these.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32- Well, it works, doesn't it? - Quirky. I like the hunting horn.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35So, like the Reds, the Blues also favour the quirky approach.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38But do the Reds need to exercise some restraint?
0:06:38 > 0:06:43This exercise bike is extraordinary, isn't it? Yeah.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Oh, is that what it is? - Yeah. Do you want a go?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- THEY LAUGH - Go on! Go on, son. Get on it.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Look at that!
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- I can't believe I'm doing this on TV! - How good is that?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Yeah. I'm not sure about this one.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02How are your abs? Are they firming up as we speak?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04They are firm.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- How much is this fine thing? - Well, it could be 40 quid. >
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- 40 quid!- And I'm sure it's quirky enough to make a profit.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- It's definitely quirky. - It's a good price for what it is.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15So, Sam, 40 quid. What do you think of it?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Uh, it's different. It's quirky.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20I think if you can manage to walk round the rest of the fair,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22we'll maybe think about it and come back?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Yeah, OK.- OK?- Yeah.- I agree.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Right, release yourself, Sam, and let's go.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Yes!- Do you need a hand? - THEY ALL LAUGH
0:07:29 > 0:07:32After that mini workout with Instructor Caroline,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34the boys are off to see more of the fair.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Meanwhile, the Blues home in on head gear.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I like this. What do you think?
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Well, if you want a tin helmet, it's all right, I suppose!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- "Oh, it suits you, sir!" - I love it, I do. I love it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- I think the problem is it's the wrong way round.- Oh, is it?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- 'Oh, Lord!'- Yeah.- Like this.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52That's it. That's a little bit better.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53You like? You like?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- My brain in there!- It obviously works all right, doesn't it?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I like that.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- No, go on.- I think Colin should see what it looks like on.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- OK.- Oh, you've got a massive head.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Ooh. Yeah, I think I've got a problem there.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09It's more a sort of ten-gallon hat on a two-pint head, isn't it?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11It's good. I like. But we'll have a look around.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13We haven't got much time, so...
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- What's the lowest? - What's the lowest you'd do?
0:08:15 > 0:08:19About 5'1", in my case. What was your lowest?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- £65, ladies.- OK, we'll think about a maybe, maybe come back.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26We're literally the first one, so we'll go and have a look and see.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- You're on your hour race, are you? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- 60 quid and you can come back to it. - Great. Thank you!
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Straight in. Let's put it on the mental shopping list. - We'll come back.- OK.- Thank you.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37It's got age, it's a little bit...
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Ha ha! Customers!
0:08:42 > 0:08:46We've got another helmet here! This one fits much better!
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- THEY LAUGH - What do you think?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- So much better! - That one might fit me.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52You watch out, Colin.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I think this pair are going to keep you on your toes.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Now, how are the Reds getting on?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- That's a jewellery box.- OK.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- You were asking about jewellery boxes, weren't you?- I was.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05And this... Yeah. It's quite a nice thing.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- It IS a nice thing.- And it's not a lot of money, is it?- No.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- £18.- It's got a little bit of damage there, hasn't it?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Oh, yeah, it has. I think we need to stay away from damage.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- I agree.- Do you?- Definitely.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Yes, Caroline, the only damage we want round here
0:09:18 > 0:09:21is to the teams' budgets.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Meanwhile, the Blues aren't having any luck either.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27On furniture, you really want to be looking at things
0:09:27 > 0:09:30that are small, sweet and decorative rather than...
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- What about suitcases?- No. - Erm...no. There'll be plenty...
0:09:33 > 0:09:35These girls sure know what they like.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Waiting for something to jump out.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- Sorry?- I'm waiting for something to jump out.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Something to jump out and grab you?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Keep hunting, Reds. It will, given time.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Seems the Blues are finding things just as tough.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Is it happening for you? Nope. Not happening.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- Colin?- Yeah?- What about this?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Well, the reel-to-reel ones don't cost much in the first place,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01even though they look great.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05It's not worth it. It's not worth it, by the sounds of it.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I want something different, and that helmet WAS different.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I liked that helmet.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Would you say that mannequin piece is modern or old or...?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I think it looks quite modern.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23It is very different, yeah. I can see that hanging somewhere unusual.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Good "armless" fun, Caroline. Now, what have the Blues stumbled across?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- That's a nice mahogany one. - £65, a games box.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Worth it, not? - It's not bad, actually.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- £65.- But do you think that green thing - it's a bit new, isn't it?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Oh, it is. That's a replacement, yeah.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Basically, mahogany interior, good rosewood outside,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44priced at £65 is good.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48If you can get that bought for around the sort of £40, £45 mark...
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- It's worth a go?- ..then it's worth a go, yeah, absolutely.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- What do you think, Jess? - But do you like it?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I don't MIND it.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56It wouldn't be something I had in my house, but other people, maybe.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I DID like that helmet. I keep going back to that.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01OK, well, we've got two things.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Let's keep it in that mental shopping list, and...- Yeah.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I don't mind waiting until the last minute to go back and get them all.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Assuming they're still going to be there, Jess.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12It's funny, actually. When you really start looking...
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Like, if you glance, you're like, "Oh, that's nice,"
0:11:14 > 0:11:16but when you really think about it, if it's going to...
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Yeah, it's got to be nice enough to sell for a profit.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Two people have to want it.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25This shopping lark is never as easy as you might think.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28With both teams struggling to find a first purchase,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Colin wants a chat with the Blues.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33You're getting a bit of nerves on this?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- Yeah. I need to buy! - You need to buy?- Yeah.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- You're in that mood?- Yeah. - It's always the same with Colleen!
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- THEY LAUGH - Spend, spend, spend!
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- No, I think we do. - Wind her in, wind her in.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43OK. What do we want, then?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Out of the two we've got, do you want one or two of the things?
0:11:46 > 0:11:47- One.- I'm going to leave it up to you.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I think the helmet's quirkier. And we said we were going for quirky.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Is it the one? - Oh, I don't know. Is it the one?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Do you think it's worth a bit of a... Do you think it's good?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Uh, sorry, I was casting away there for a moment.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Is there a decision there?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Help!- Let's go for it. Let's go and buy that helmet.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06At last! A decision made.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Hiya.- WOMAN: Hiya.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- That's a nice sifter spoon. - Yeah. It is a nice spoon.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13What would you sift through it?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16What do you think you would sift through it?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Tea?- No.- I was going to say tea. - No, think again.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- No, think again.- Uh, coffee? No.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- THEY LAUGH - No!
0:12:23 > 0:12:26I don't drink coffee, but you don't sift coffee, do you?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28No. Oh, dear.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- It's a SUGAR sifter!- Oh. - Oh. OK.- Oh, OK.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Hi there. > - £160. Hello. Good morning.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37We're just looking at your sifter spoon here.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39It's London. I can't rememb...
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Tell you the truth, you have a look at it and tell...
0:12:41 > 0:12:44..let your expert tell you what it is, if you can.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49- Now, look. How nice is that? It's in very good condition.- Yeah.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50And if we have a look at the marks,
0:12:50 > 0:12:55this is a full set of hallmarks to tell you that it's solid silver.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59So, we've got the leopard's head here, which tells you it's London,
0:12:59 > 0:13:01the lion mark, which tells you it's sterling silver.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03There's a date letter here,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05which will date it into the Victorian period,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- and then we've got Queen Victoria's head.- Oh.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12And the million-dollar - which I hope it's not - question is,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14what price is this fine thing, please?
0:13:14 > 0:13:18I was asking £60, but seeing it's you, you can have it for £45.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- I think it's a nice piece. - It is pretty.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Do you think they're doing well?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Silver is doing well. Yes. - Always sells well.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28It's always popular. That would make a nice wedding present.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Could you do any better on that one? - Maybe £35?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- OK, for you, £35 is OK. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- Brilliant. We have a piece. - Our first buy!
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Our first buy! - Yes, we have a piece. Our first buy.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Well done, Reds. The first purchase made.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45With time fast ticking by, the Blues charge into action.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Where's that helmet stall?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49So, which way was it? Which way was it?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51That way! That way! That way!
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Oh!- It's there, it's there! Ha!
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Can we, can we, can we?! - < Best price was £55.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- So, £50! - Is not £55.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Please?! Very pretty please?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05It's very polite of you, but it's going to be £55.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- What do you think? - Where's he gone?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Mr Colin? - What do you think?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Erm...- Mr Colin's found another one. How much is that one?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13This one's priced at £28.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- So...- So, you've got £55 on that one.- Yeah, yeah.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19If we bought the two, what would you do that one for?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Yeah. - What do you think? >
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Would you sell it as a job lot or sell them individual?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- Is it two things?- Well, let's see what the deal comes out at.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29< I could do the two for £75.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32OK, so, if you've got the choice of going for the two at £75
0:14:32 > 0:14:34or just that one at £55...
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Go for the both. - No, I'd go for that one.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- Go for this one? - I don't think that's going to add anything to the lot...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42< Would you mind leaving my stall, please?
0:14:42 > 0:14:43THEY ALL LAUGH
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- £70 for the both. - < Yeah, go on, then. 70 quid.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- Let's see if it suits you first. - OK. My advice has now changed.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51I think you'd be better off going for the £70 for both.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- For the both?- Yeah.- And sell them as a job lot or individual?
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Sell them as a job lot. Sell them as a job lot. £70.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- That's very fetching, you know. - You like?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02< Beautiful.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- Oh, go on, then. - Are you going to go for it?
0:15:04 > 0:15:05< Even more beautiful.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Yeah? Shall we do it? Is it the one?- Sold!
0:15:07 > 0:15:09< Job done.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Cheers. Thank you for your advice.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12You can return to my store any time now.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Thank you.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Finally, a purchase made.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17You're off the starting blocks, Blues. Well done.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Lovely.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Both teams seem happy about making their first buy.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- So, are you happy with that, guys? - Yes.- Yes.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- I'm glad we got our first buy. - Yeah. So am I.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- Half an hour in, yeah. - I was getting a bit scared.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30It's all right just having a bit of a wander,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32but we're not window shopping.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- We're meant to be shopping. - I'm normally good at spending money.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I feel better now that I've bought one thing.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- You do? That's great. - For one thing.- Yep.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42No, really good, 'cause I actually like the fact
0:15:42 > 0:15:45that the one thing was really old and the other one was just exactly
0:15:45 > 0:15:48how you imagine a fireman's helmet to be, right?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50You know what I mean? The brass one is more unusual, isn't it?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- So, the pressure's off now, then? - Yeah.- Is it?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Well, I wouldn't exactly say that, Colin.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57But the girls certainly seem relieved.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Talking of which...
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Would you like to come and see this lavatory seat?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- You could spend a penny...or a few. - Brilliant.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09- £45.- Is there £45 in there?- I don't know. We'll have a look. One minute.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Three, six, nine pounds. £9 and quite a lot of pence.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Who's going to, uh... - Who's going to have a look at it?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Ash, after you!- Go on, son!
0:16:16 > 0:16:18THEY LAUGH
0:16:18 > 0:16:19- Who's got some gloves?- Oh!
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- Oh, he's gone for it.- Ooh!
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Heavy, I bet.- It is quite heavy, actually. Mmm.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Do you think anybody would wish to have that?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Oh, I don't know. - My gran would love it.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31THEY ALL LAUGH
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- No.- What?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- That is quite amusing, isn't it?- It is.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Ah! "Limited Edition. 21 of 500."
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- "Pennies From Heaven". - Pennies From Heaven.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45500! Well, I've not seen the other 499 of these things.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Shall I go and find the owner and see what the very best is on this?
0:16:49 > 0:16:50- Let's go for it. - All right, you hold it.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52What is a penny from heaven worth?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I can't believe we're actually going to buy a toilet seat.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- 'Nor can I.' - It's cool, though. Modern art.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Not £40.- Not £40?- Not £40?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- £35.- £35.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- I do like the piece. It's different. - It's different.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- I don't know if it would sell. - Unexpected.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- I think it's got a little bit of, sort of...- Mmm.- ..mmm.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11A bit of "mmm". THEY LAUGH
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- That's got a bit of "mmm". - I think we'll put it down and move on.- I think so.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16OK, move on, Reds.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18That clock is ticking. There's no time to hang about.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21What is it?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- What is it?- A wool winder. - I like that.- And that's Welsh.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- A wool winder. Something a bit rustic.- Yea or nay?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- It depends on the price. - < 70 quid.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Do you know the history behind it? What sort of age it is?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- Uh...mid-Victorian.- Yeah.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I think it's quite an interesting piece.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Definitely something to put on the shopping list.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39So, the lowest of the lowest - what would you take?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- £65.- Good price. We'll think about that.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Have a little look round.- OK.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51So, what are your opinions on the lavatory seat?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Erm... - Are we going to spend a penny?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Or is it a busted flush?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- I think we may spend a penny.- OK.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- It's a niche market.- Right.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04I think if we're struggling, we will go back to it.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- OK. So, you don't want to go back now?- Don't want to go back now.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10So, the Reds are having second thoughts about the loo seat.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12But what have the Blues spotted now?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14What about that, Colin? What do you think that is?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Well, I think it's an afro comb. I think that'll be just ideal for me.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- You think?- Maybe not. - SHE LAUGHS
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- You're half tempted by that, aren't you?- I am, yeah.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- Being the hairdresser that you are...- I am tempted by that.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Because if it is a comb and... Do you think...
0:18:26 > 0:18:28What would be the best you'd do on that?
0:18:28 > 0:18:29£20 would be the best. >
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Do you want to go with that?- Uh-uh.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33- No?- We'll see.- We've still got time.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Go on, then.- Let's come back to this. - We might come back to you.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39This is our get-out-of-jail card, isn't it?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I quite like that comb, though.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Keep on looking, Blues, but that's something else to think about.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Now, I feel a literary moment coming on.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51I tell you, it takes quite a book to get me excited,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54and we have such a book in front of us.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58They always say you can't tell a book by its cover,
0:18:58 > 0:19:02but in fact, when it comes to 18th-century bookbinding,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04you can tell quite a lot,
0:19:04 > 0:19:10because there is a beautifully patinated and coloured piece of calf leather
0:19:10 > 0:19:14that has been applied to a stiff board by the bookbinder,
0:19:14 > 0:19:19because at the time that he did this - early in the 19th century -
0:19:19 > 0:19:22he rated the book as being special.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26The spine has the title, and that says "History Of America".
0:19:26 > 0:19:28And if you're a collector at all,
0:19:28 > 0:19:34having a book that relates to such a prosperous country as North America
0:19:34 > 0:19:38is in itself a very good reason to take a look.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42So, inside, we come across the title page,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44and it says, "The history of America,
0:19:44 > 0:19:48"including the history of Virginia to the year 1688
0:19:48 > 0:19:51"and New England to the year 1652,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53"by William Robertson."
0:19:53 > 0:19:58But Mr Robertson didn't publish his early history.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03What happened was a later author, David M'Intosh,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05came along after Robertson's death,
0:20:05 > 0:20:10he took the early history and he wrote the later history.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14And his later history is "The new edition, with a continuation,
0:20:14 > 0:20:20"of the history of the colonies from 1652 to the present time."
0:20:20 > 0:20:24So M'Intosh has taken the story bang up-to-date -
0:20:24 > 0:20:29but bang up-to-date for him was 1817.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34One of the many amusements in this volume are the illustrations.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38For example, we look here on page 34,
0:20:38 > 0:20:42we should find the first discovery of America by Columbus.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46And sure enough, opposite 34, there is that plate.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Christopher Columbus on his knees discovering the Americas
0:20:50 > 0:20:53with a few natives just in shore.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Next, we might look, on page 313,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00at a map of the United States of America.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01HE CHUCKLES
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Well, doesn't look much like the United States of America, does it?
0:21:04 > 0:21:09No, because these are the few states in 1817
0:21:09 > 0:21:13that formed the independent United States of America.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16You can see New York and Pennsylvania and Virginia,
0:21:16 > 0:21:20the few states clustering along the east coast
0:21:20 > 0:21:23before the vast expansion of the country
0:21:23 > 0:21:27across the western part of the USA.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30And no history of the USA would be complete
0:21:30 > 0:21:33without an illustration of Washington,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35and here we have him,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38and of course, it was his famous Declaration of Independence
0:21:38 > 0:21:42that led to the independence of the USA
0:21:42 > 0:21:45and the formation of the country as we know it today.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50If you consider the prosperity that sits in America right now,
0:21:50 > 0:21:55if you consider the passion that they have for their early history,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58it is all wrapped up in this volume.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03That's why, if you can find a book like this
0:22:03 > 0:22:06and it happens to be priced at £67,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I advise you to take a quick squint.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10What's it worth?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Well, in good condition -
0:22:12 > 0:22:14and remember, there's some work to be done
0:22:14 > 0:22:16to the binding of this particular job -
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I would guess that its estimate at auction
0:22:18 > 0:22:23would be more in the order of £1,000 to £1,500.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26So, Yankee-doodle-doo, hey?
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Back to the shopping.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30There's just 20 minutes left,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33and both teams have one purchase under their belts.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34The pressure is on.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- Oh, God, Colin!- What?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- She's getting old!- No, I'm getting all panicky. I think we just...
0:22:39 > 0:22:41No, don't panic. Don't panic.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- Will they give us time to run back?- No!
0:22:43 > 0:22:45An hour is an hour, girls.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- You like your old radios, don't you?- Yeah.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50They're just hard work when it comes to sales.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Trouble is, it's only going to reap maybe £10 in a sale.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- No.- So, not for us.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57No, no.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Even with limited time, there seems to be a lot of looking going on
0:23:00 > 0:23:01and not much buying.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I feel a sense of panic mounting.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Yeah, that's a lovely quilt. Did you see that? With roses, yeah.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Both teams are really struggling to make that second purchase.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Oh, no! Not another one!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I know what you do like.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Oh, another helmet!
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Oh, we can't really buy another helmet.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21There's only so many helmets you can sell at an auction room.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23This is very true. Let's give it a miss.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24- Yeah?- I thought it was worth a look.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27A look, Colin, yes, but it's a purchase you need.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29This stall seems popular.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32The Reds are following in the same footsteps as the Blues
0:23:32 > 0:23:33and have spotted something.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35What do you think of this, Caroline?
0:23:37 > 0:23:381905.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- Oh, wow! I like that. - Hallmarked. A nice weight.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Walker & Hall. A good Birmingham maker. Yeah.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Did you know, I love Art Nouveau.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- Oh, really? Yeah. - I do. I really love Art Nouveau.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53And this, 1905, is exactly the period.
0:23:53 > 0:23:59- OK.- 1895, 1905 was fin-de-siecle in France,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02the Art Nouveau period really at its height.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- But what do you think, Sam? - I think it's a very pretty piece.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08I just wonder how popular they'd be round about now.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11They'd always look good on a lady's dressing table.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- How much is it, though?- £75.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Do you want to go and ask the very best on it? I think...
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Hello! Hi. May we just talk to you, sir, about your mirror?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Very, very, very best, please.
0:24:24 > 0:24:2560 quid. >
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- SHE TUTS - Oh!
0:24:27 > 0:24:28I don't think we're going to get...
0:24:28 > 0:24:31'Ooh, look. It's Mr Wool Winder again.'
0:24:31 > 0:24:34It needs to be £50 for us to make a profit on it.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- Yeah, go on.- Yes?- Yeah.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- Thank you!- You're welcome.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43At last, another purchase made for the Reds. Thank goodness for that.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46There's now just five minutes left.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Shall we go get the wool thing? Jess, let's go get the wool thing.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- I like stressing you out.- No, no, cos then...we've done that, then.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Well, we'll go round that way now.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- We'll have to start running soon. - I know. I know!
0:25:00 > 0:25:03I'd start running now if I were you.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06The Reds need one more item and the Blues need two.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I don't think we're going to do it, are we?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- There was a lovely quilt, wasn't there?- Yeah.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Do you remember? We looked in and there was a quilt.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- Was it this one in here? - Or was it the next one?
0:25:18 > 0:25:19I think it was the next one.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- Shall I just run into these other two?- OK.- And have a look.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Was it this one over here?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- Was it where?- Was it another shed?
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Yes. It might be in that one. Shall we go up here? All right. Come on.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Here it is! Right.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Let's just open it up and check for damage.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44There is no damage on that side. Shall we turn it over?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Oh, well, you see, that's lovely. So, it's reversible.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Good quality, isn't it? - I like the other side.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- You like the other side? I like this side.- I like this side.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Yeah. Two against one.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56The main question is the money. £185.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58It's either this or the loo seat,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00and we've got about three minutes left.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- No, let's get the toilet seat. - Yeah. OK.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- You want the toilet seat?- Yeah. - Toilet seat it is! Come on!
0:26:05 > 0:26:09OK, pop the quilt back and get running, lads.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Ah. A sextant.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- £240.- Yeah. Well, we've got the money.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21The thing is, with this sextant, it might not float your boat, but at least it will direct it.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- It'll make the money, will it?- Yeah. Got a chance of...
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Go on, then.- Let's ask the question. Hi there. How are you doing?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29What's the, sort of, bestest you can do?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Bargain of the day - £150.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33< Right, quick. We can pay for it. Let's go.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Go for it?- That's it, yep. - Brilliant.- Well done, my man!
0:26:36 > 0:26:39A panic purchase, but at least it's a purchase.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- Whee!- Whee!- Two out of three.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Yes, at least it's a purchase.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45But you still need one more, as do the Reds.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Oh, it's still here! Goodness me!
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Let's quickly buy it.- Phew! I'm a bit flushed after all that!
0:26:53 > 0:26:54THEY LAUGH
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Gosh. Right. I'll go and see if we can get just one more fiver off it.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Sounds great. Cool. - Probably if it's still here.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- How'd you go?- £30.- Oh, brilliant.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Is that OK?- Let's have it.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Profit-making. - Right, let's go and pay.- Brilliant.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Well done, Reds. That's you done and dusted.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14And in the last minute of the shop,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17the Blues decided there's only one thing to do...
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Well, that's a good sign. A smiling stallholder.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- That one, then?- Go for that one. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25So, you gave us a sixty-fiver.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Is that the very, very, very, very, very best...- £60! Go on!
0:27:28 > 0:27:33- £60.- Yay! £60.- Top man. Absolutely brilliant.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I'll shake your hand on that one.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Thank you very much.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- So, do we have a happy team? - Yeah, I think so.- Yep. We do.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Have you enjoyed your hour? - Yeah, brilliant.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Finally, the Blues made their third purchase.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47My, that was a hair-raising experience.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Talk about cutting it fine.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Time's up. Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh?
0:27:52 > 0:27:57They sprinkled £35 on a Victorian pierced silver ladle.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02An Art-Nouveau silver-backed hand mirror
0:28:02 > 0:28:05set them back a reflective £50.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09And finally, they flushed away £30
0:28:09 > 0:28:12on a novelty Pennies from Heaven toilet seat.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- Well, you went right up to the wire, didn't you?- We did.- Absolutely.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Testing everybody to the limit!
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Even our green goddess, who hardly knew which way to turn.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25How much did you spend all told?
0:28:25 > 0:28:27We spent £115 altogether.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31£115. I'd like £185 of leftover lolly, please.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32- There we are.- Thank you, Ash.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Now, which is your favourite piece?
0:28:34 > 0:28:36- My favourite piece was the mirror. - Was it?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39It caught my eye straightaway and it was my favourite piece.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Very good. Sam, what about you?
0:28:40 > 0:28:43I think it has to be the toilet seat. Even though it shouldn't be.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- But there's something about it. - Right. Have you no taste?
0:28:45 > 0:28:47THEY LAUGH No. I don't think I have!
0:28:47 > 0:28:49OK, fair enough. Then join the clan. Very good.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51There is a bunch of money
0:28:51 > 0:28:53for you to go and find the team's bonus buy, OK?
0:28:53 > 0:28:55But here comes Tim's Ton.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58For our special program, you get the extra £100.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Thank you.- The ton of money to go and find your second bonus buy.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05And however you do, Caroline, come back and show me how you got on.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08You've got ten minutes to find Tim's Ton.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10You'd better shove off and go for it, girl,
0:29:10 > 0:29:11and very, very, very good luck.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Two fireman's helmets cost them a hot £70.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25A lacquered brass sextant cost them £150.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29And finally, they spun £60 of their budget
0:29:29 > 0:29:32on this stained beech wool winder.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38- OK, so, that was pretty zany, wasn't it?- It was, yes indeed.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40- And you went right up to the wire. - Yes. To the very second.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Yeah, well, there you go.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Now, which is the favourite piece for you, Jess?
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Erm, I think the helmets that we bought. We bought fireman's helmets.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50I think they were quirky and good. I like those, yeah.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52And does the boss of the hairdressing salon agree?
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- Yes, definitely.- You do agree? - Yeah, I love them.- Yes? OK, fine.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- And how much did you spend?- £280.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Oh, you did well there, girls. Can I have £20 of leftover lolly, please?
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- Yes, you can.- Thank you. There's the £20. Excellent.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07- Straight across to Colin.- Thank you.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- Not a vast amount of cash, Colin.- No.
0:30:09 > 0:30:15But aided and abetted by the £100 of Tim's Ton money
0:30:15 > 0:30:17for you to buy the second bonus buy with.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Hopefully that'll give you some flexibility.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23It will. I think I know more or less what I'm going to go for.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25I think it will add a bit of clarity
0:30:25 > 0:30:28and...a bit of crystal water over this one, I think.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- Ooh.- Ooh!- There's some hints there.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33OK, girls, relax up. Good luck, Colin.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34You've got ten minutes to do it.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37If you'd please bring 'em back to me, your bonus buys,
0:30:37 > 0:30:40so that we can have a chat in a minute, that would be great.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Meanwhile, though, why don't we find out
0:30:42 > 0:30:47how Caroline Hawley's getting on with her purchase of the bonus buys?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51First on the shopping list is the team bonus buy.
0:30:53 > 0:30:54- There you go.- Thank you.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- What's the best on these? - £10, if that's all right with you.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Yeah. That's great.- Smashing. Thank you very much indeed.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03I would love these.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07My "sharp pair" of barbers, and look what I've got them -
0:31:07 > 0:31:11a little miniature, miniature pair of scissors
0:31:11 > 0:31:14and a tiny penknife.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18Just a little bit quirky and a bit daft, and £10.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22And how about your Tim's Ton, Caroline?
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- Excuse me?- Hi.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26What can you tell me about it?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28It's 1970s Italian.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- What's the price? - Well, I was looking round about £160.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37I don't want to be mean, but I could go £100 but no more.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38- Yeah, go on, then.- Will you? - We'll do that.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- Oh, thank you... Ooh, yes! - I'll shake with that hand.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45I have spent every last penny of Tim's Ton on this.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49We don't have a maker, but I think it's going to make a profit.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Now time for a chat with Caroline about both bonus buys.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- Now, CH, this is your test, isn't it?- It is.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01I gave you £185 of leftover lolly to find the team's bonus buy,
0:32:01 > 0:32:02and that is it, right?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- I'm afraid it is! - THEY LAUGH
0:32:04 > 0:32:05Don't be afraid.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10It looks very small, but it is perfect for my pair of barbers,
0:32:10 > 0:32:15and these are a little miniature pair of scissors.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- About 1920, I would think.- Mm-hm.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19They wouldn't cut much hair, would they? But anyway.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Nice little pair of scissors, and a miniature penknife here.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- So, it's a sewing accessory, really? - Or a miniature barber's accessory.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29But "A Sharp Pair", then. So, there's a pun there, isn't it?
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- Yeah. There is a pun. - Which is rather sweet, isn't it?
0:32:32 > 0:32:35If it's going to go into your travelling needlework set.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39- Well, I gave you £180...- You did.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40..so how much did you spend?
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- I only spent a tenner, Tim. - Did you really?- I did.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- That is so unlike me. - You are so cheap to take out.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I know! It's terrible! I'm not normally.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- No, no, quite. I quite understand. - No, but this just had to be bought.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52OK, for £10. Very good.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- So, that's the team's bonus buy. - Yeah.- What about Tim's Ton?
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- I spent the whole of it.- Why?
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- SHE LAUGHS - Why?! Tim, you can see why!
0:33:01 > 0:33:04It's a 1970s Italian coffee table,
0:33:04 > 0:33:07and I just think that that is so contemporary.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09- Are you seeing it? - Where are we selling this?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Well, we're selling it at Shrewsbury...
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- HE LAUGHS - I know! I know! I know!
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- OK, you spent £100 of my money. - I did.- My WHOLE £100 went on that.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Now, my invidious task is to make a prediction -
0:33:20 > 0:33:25which will bring, in proportion to the amount that was spent,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28the most profit?
0:33:28 > 0:33:32And quite frankly, this miniature sewing bit of kit
0:33:32 > 0:33:36has the best chance of bringing the biggest profit
0:33:36 > 0:33:38in proportion to the £10 that you spent.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42I can see that bringing £20 to £30, or even £40.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- Mm-hm. Great.- So you've been very clever on that.- Thank you.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49As to Tim's Ton for £100, I would think you would be jolly lucky
0:33:49 > 0:33:51to wipe your face with that in Shrewsbury.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54I'm looking forward to prove you wrong on this, Tim.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Oh, she's a hard woman, isn't she?
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Anyway, right now, why don't we take a squint
0:33:58 > 0:34:02at how Colin Young, our Blues expert,
0:34:02 > 0:34:04is getting on buying his bonus buys?
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Thank you, Caroline.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Remember, Colin had just £20 of leftover lolly
0:34:09 > 0:34:11for his team bonus buy,
0:34:11 > 0:34:13so, Colin, what are you thinking?
0:34:13 > 0:34:15I've seen something on a stand back here
0:34:15 > 0:34:17that I think is going to fit not necessarily the bill,
0:34:17 > 0:34:20but it's certainly going to fit the budget.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- Having a good fair?- Not too bad.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24That's good news, then. I might be able to do all right.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27What's the asking price on this one at present?
0:34:27 > 0:34:28I've got £30 on it.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32I'll tell you no lie - it's my bonus buy and they've only left me £20.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34I could probably do that for you.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36- That was a nice, easy one, then.- Yeah.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- Thank you very much.- OK. Thanks very much.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39There we go.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41The reason I went for this - obviously a vase -
0:34:41 > 0:34:44nice enamel decoration, that sort of Moser look.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46For that reason, £20, you'd get a copy -
0:34:46 > 0:34:48you ain't gonna get the original.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52So, how do you plan to spend Tim's Ton, Colin?
0:34:52 > 0:34:55This one certainly should fill the slot.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57What have we got? Mandolin, late 19th century.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00"The Davidson Music Sellers of Edinburgh".
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- Hello there.- Hi. Are you all right? - Yeah, very good, thanks.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Interested in this. Marked up at £85.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Noticed a couple of things with it, like, you know, lack of strings.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- Indeed.- Yeah, a little bit washed out on the front board.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14But what would be your best that you would be able to do on this?
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Best on that is £65.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Any chance we could... just shave another fiver off
0:35:18 > 0:35:20and be down to the £60?
0:35:20 > 0:35:22I think that would be a bit of a sweeter note.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24- Yeah, £60. We'll do £60. - £60's good?- Yeah.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- Brilliant. Thank you very much. - Thank you.- Excellent.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Now, time for me to catch up with Colin about these bonus buys.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Well, Colin, you have been a busy boy, haven't you?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34- Yeah. It's been a hectic day. - TIM LAUGHS
0:35:34 > 0:35:38£20 is all you were given for the team's bonus buy,
0:35:38 > 0:35:40and that is it - tell us about it.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Well, it's that enamel-effect glass.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47It's not particularly old. It's only a 20th-century example.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49And the finish is pretty good. And key...
0:35:49 > 0:35:50- DING! - ..it rings OK.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52So, no damage.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56It looks old, cos it's got all this bubbling in the glass,
0:35:56 > 0:35:59and that's because it's trying to look like soda metal,
0:35:59 > 0:36:01which would be early Continental glass, is it?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Absolutely.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05You're looking at something that's potentially 17th century,
0:36:05 > 0:36:07but we know it isn't.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11Yeah. So, here we've got Christopher Columbus's Santa Maria,
0:36:11 > 0:36:15the vessel that took Christopher Columbus across the Atlantic, yes?
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- Yeah.- On his discovery of America and so forth.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21So, somebody in the late Victorian or Edwardian period
0:36:21 > 0:36:23has thumped that on there
0:36:23 > 0:36:25because they just wanted it as a decorative device.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27- Is that it?- That's it.- Brilliant. And you spent how much on this?
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- £20. - THEY LAUGH
0:36:29 > 0:36:31You're not predicting much of a profit on it?
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Oh, I think it'll be all right, actually,
0:36:33 > 0:36:36cos it does have the look, and that was the reason I went for it.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40So, £20 spent. That's the full £20 for the team's bonus buy.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Now, I gave you Tim's Ton, I gave you the additional £100,
0:36:42 > 0:36:45and this joker is what you came up with.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- Joker?!- Why?- Why?
0:36:47 > 0:36:51We had £100 and I wanted something that's going to make a profit.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54And overall, condition seems to be pretty good on this.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57It's had a lot of wear on it, and you've got the points
0:36:57 > 0:36:59at which it's sort of been rejigged on the neck.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01OK, fine. So, it's in pretty good condition.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- Yeah.- Yeah. I mean, when you think about it,
0:37:04 > 0:37:08in terms of the skill base required
0:37:08 > 0:37:10to take each of these pieces of wood,
0:37:10 > 0:37:11it's pretty good, isn't it?
0:37:11 > 0:37:14It is. The craftsmanship's great. You're warming to this one, aren't you, Tim?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Well, the problem is, I think I am.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Now, my next job, Colin,
0:37:18 > 0:37:22is to predict which of the bonus buys that you've selected
0:37:22 > 0:37:25are going to make the largest amount of profit
0:37:25 > 0:37:27in proportion to the purchase price,
0:37:27 > 0:37:30and my prediction, without a shadow of a doubt,
0:37:30 > 0:37:35has to be the team's bonus buy, because, £20 paid -
0:37:35 > 0:37:38it's not going to make a lot of profit, if it makes a profit at all,
0:37:38 > 0:37:41but maybe £10 profit -
0:37:41 > 0:37:44that is going to be, in proportion to the purchase price,
0:37:44 > 0:37:46the likely candidate for my selection.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- To be honest with you, I think I'd be with you as well.- OK.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51But anyway, talking about playing,
0:37:51 > 0:37:56I'm going to shove off right now to London to the Museum of Childhood.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Let's see what I can find.
0:38:08 > 0:38:14I've come to the V&A's Museum of Childhood in London.
0:38:14 > 0:38:19This incredible building was purpose-built as a museum
0:38:19 > 0:38:23to serve and educate the local population,
0:38:23 > 0:38:28a lot of whom were in desperate need and with only minimal schooling.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32The museum gradually evolved over the years
0:38:32 > 0:38:34from having general collections
0:38:34 > 0:38:38to specialising in everything and anything connected with childhood.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Now, if you ask most little girls what their favourite toy is,
0:38:41 > 0:38:44they'll say it is their doll,
0:38:44 > 0:38:47and here at the Museum of Childhood
0:38:47 > 0:38:52is the largest collection of dolls anywhere in the United Kingdom.
0:38:52 > 0:38:58And apart from the hundreds of dolls that they have up here on display,
0:38:58 > 0:39:02there are even more in store down below in the vaults,
0:39:02 > 0:39:05and I've been lucky enough to be given permission
0:39:05 > 0:39:07to go down and have a look at them.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16If I flip open these drawers in the basement,
0:39:16 > 0:39:19it's a bit like a Hammer horror film.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23Look at this - assorted doll parts. Weird, aren't they?
0:39:23 > 0:39:27But the oldest doll that they have in the museum
0:39:27 > 0:39:30dates back to the Egyptians.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33And here it is. It's something called a paddle doll,
0:39:33 > 0:39:37and it was made about 4,000 years ago.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41Egyptian women apparently treated these dolls as fertility symbols,
0:39:41 > 0:39:45and when you were being interred after you died,
0:39:45 > 0:39:48some of these dolls would be buried with you
0:39:48 > 0:39:52to ensure that you were fertile in the afterlife.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54But dolls through the years had been crafted
0:39:54 > 0:39:56out of any number of materials -
0:39:56 > 0:40:00basically, what the craftsman had lying around.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05Another material used in the modelling of dolls' heads was wax,
0:40:05 > 0:40:09especially in Germany, in the Munich area.
0:40:09 > 0:40:14In this drawer, we've got heads made of natural-coloured wax,
0:40:14 > 0:40:15like that fellow,
0:40:15 > 0:40:19and also, wax that's been tinted to resemble flesh.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23Then the wax heads are applied to a body,
0:40:23 > 0:40:26and you might, at the end of the 18th century, finish up
0:40:26 > 0:40:29with a small doll that looked like this.
0:40:29 > 0:40:35Startled blue eyes planted into a wax head.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39As far as British dolls are concerned,
0:40:39 > 0:40:44the very best of those that date from the end of the 17th century
0:40:44 > 0:40:46or early part of the 18th century
0:40:46 > 0:40:51and the construction used in both their bodies and heads
0:40:51 > 0:40:54is solid timber, shaped and then painted.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Stand by for Miss Havisham!
0:41:01 > 0:41:03- HE CHORTLES - Isn't she marvellous?
0:41:03 > 0:41:07In terms of wooden-headed dolls,
0:41:07 > 0:41:11this one dates from around about 1710 or 1720,
0:41:11 > 0:41:14and she has a divine hairdo.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17She has a high flush, touched up with rouge -
0:41:17 > 0:41:20actually, a pot of red paint.
0:41:20 > 0:41:27Her eyes are divine - large, oval, Indian, with deep black pupils.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29And then the dress.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34We've got loads of tulle and sequins and multicoloured beads
0:41:34 > 0:41:36throughout her costume.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39And the best bit of all is her stomacher,
0:41:39 > 0:41:43which is a multifaceted aquamarine.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Probably a piece of blue glass. Gorgeous.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Cutting swiftly to the 19th century,
0:41:52 > 0:41:56the most prolific period for the production of quality dolls,
0:41:56 > 0:42:02we start in the 1830s to 1850s with porcelain-headed dolls.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05It's a head and shoulders doll
0:42:05 > 0:42:10made to be applied and sewn to a soft, padded torso
0:42:10 > 0:42:12and then dressed.
0:42:12 > 0:42:17Next to that, we have another variety of porcelain-headed doll
0:42:17 > 0:42:19called bisque.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24This is unglazed, but it's porcelain and fired to a high temperature.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27For collectors, its features are that it's got sleepy eyes.
0:42:27 > 0:42:32There you go, look. Its blue eyes close when you invert it.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Highly desirable.
0:42:34 > 0:42:39And finally, as far as post-war dolls are concerned,
0:42:39 > 0:42:41this is a classic.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45She too has sleepy eyes, and enormous eyelashes -
0:42:45 > 0:42:48applied with mascara, I fancy -
0:42:48 > 0:42:51and made out of soft vinyl.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53The big question for us now is,
0:42:53 > 0:42:58which of our teams over at the auction is going to go soft first?
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Well, this is fun - to be with Jeremy Lamond
0:43:10 > 0:43:12at Halls Auction House in Shrewsbury.
0:43:12 > 0:43:13Welcome, Tim.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Let's start out and do the silver sifting spoon.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Well, you can't go wrong with those.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20It's in good condition. I have no doubt that will sell.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22- At what price, though?- £20 to £30.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24- OK, £35 paid.- Yeah.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26So, they may have paid a tad too much.
0:43:26 > 0:43:30Next is the classic - the silver-backed dressing table mirror.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Slightly more eclectic.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35It will sell, but better, perhaps, with a set.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38- I.e. the brushes and the pin box and all that?- Yeah.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41- £15 to £25. - Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43- £50 paid.- Really?- Yeah.- Ooh.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45- It's a lot of money, isn't it?- Mmm.
0:43:45 > 0:43:51And last but by no means least is the perspex lavatory seat.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53- JEREMY SIGHS - Could do with some refurb, I'd say.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56Yeah, I think so. I mean, who would sit musing on a pile of money?
0:43:56 > 0:43:59It's the sort of wacky thing that, actually, the market might like.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02Give us a pitch for your price as to what it will bring.
0:44:02 > 0:44:06Well, I think it might make £30 or £40
0:44:06 > 0:44:08to somebody who wants eternal giggling
0:44:08 > 0:44:10in the smallest room in the house.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13And a bit of kitsch. OK, why not? £30, they paid.
0:44:13 > 0:44:16So, overall, they may just about be all right,
0:44:16 > 0:44:19depending on what happens with the silver-backed mirror,
0:44:19 > 0:44:21and if it all goes horribly wrong,
0:44:21 > 0:44:24they'll need one or other of their bonus buys.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26So, let's go and have a look at them.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32Well, this is exciting, chaps, isn't it? Double bonus buys!
0:44:32 > 0:44:35Anyway, the team's bonus buy first.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38You gave Caroline £185 of leftover lolly.
0:44:38 > 0:44:40Caroline, where is the team's bonus buy?
0:44:40 > 0:44:45It's here. In my hand. It's a very small bonus buy.
0:44:45 > 0:44:51But it's for my very own very sharp pair, "A Sharp Pair"...
0:44:51 > 0:44:53ASH AND SAM EXCLAIM
0:44:53 > 0:44:55..and it's this little pair of scissors...
0:44:55 > 0:44:58- Oh!- Very good!- Thank you. - ..and a little miniature knife.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01- I like that.- How sweet!
0:45:01 > 0:45:03- For our hairdressers!- Yes!
0:45:03 > 0:45:06Have a little handle of those, Sam, see what you think.
0:45:06 > 0:45:07Oh, it feels all fragile.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09So, made in the '50s, or the '30s, do you think?
0:45:09 > 0:45:11Probably the '30s, I would think.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13How much did this set you back?
0:45:13 > 0:45:15I paid £10.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17- Oh, did you?- Yes.- £10, hey?
0:45:17 > 0:45:19And ask her how much she thinks it's worth.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22- How much do you think it's worth? - Possibly £15.
0:45:22 > 0:45:28OK, fine. So, you could add a 50% mark-up to that particular snip.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30Anyway, there we are. Very nice, Caroline.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32That's the team's bonus buy.
0:45:32 > 0:45:36But what does the auctioneer think about this team bonus buy?
0:45:37 > 0:45:40"A Sharp Pair". There you go, Jay.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43Yep. Well, there you are. A little pair of scissors, a little knife.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45Can't go wrong with that. Quite legal. Short blade.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48It's never going to be a lot of money, is it, really?
0:45:48 > 0:45:49Well, it's the team's bonus buy.
0:45:49 > 0:45:53Caroline had £185. She spent £10. Did she spend it wisely?
0:45:53 > 0:45:57- £5 to £10.- OK, £5 to £10 is your estimate. Fair enough.
0:45:57 > 0:46:00Now, time to see what the Reds think about their Tim's Ton.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05Now, Tim's Ton - you had the additional £100.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08- I did.- What did you spend it on, Caroline?
0:46:08 > 0:46:13I spent it on this rather smart coffee table.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15- Yeah, I like that.- Yeah, I do too. - Oh, do you?- Very nice.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18- I thought you might.- Modern. - Yeah, it's modern, yeah.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20- It's got a hole in it! All right? - THEY ALL LAUGH
0:46:20 > 0:46:22- That's for a fact! - Yes, yes!- All right?
0:46:22 > 0:46:24This is inspired by Henry Moore, is it?
0:46:24 > 0:46:29Yes, I would think so, and it's from possibly the '70s, '80s.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32- But I think that that would fit into any contemporary interior.- Oh, yeah.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35- You would have that in your home? - I'd buy it, yeah.
0:46:35 > 0:46:36What's it made of, Caroline?
0:46:36 > 0:46:39- It's a resin base... - Would that be plastic, then?
0:46:39 > 0:46:42Another term for plastic, Tim, yes. Another term for plastic.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44- "Resin" sounds better, doesn't it? - "Resin" sounds better.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47- So, how much did you pay for it? - I spent the whole ton.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49- Did you?- £100.- £100?- Yeah.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51How much do you think we could get for it?
0:46:51 > 0:46:54- I think £120, £130.- Cool.
0:46:54 > 0:46:55OK, chaps.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58Well, you don't pick now, but in a minute, you will have the choice -
0:46:58 > 0:47:01if you want to - to take one or other of the bonus buys.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04You don't have to take either. You can't have both.
0:47:04 > 0:47:07But that'll be your pick, all right?
0:47:07 > 0:47:10So, now, what does the auctioneer think about Tim's Ton?
0:47:11 > 0:47:16And the Tim's Ton bonus buy is this fellow,
0:47:16 > 0:47:19this rather handsome 1990s plastic occasional table.
0:47:19 > 0:47:23That is a bit of kitsch and £50 to £80, I think.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25- £100, she paid.- Mmm.
0:47:25 > 0:47:26- So she might be lucky with that. - Yep.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32And their first item is the fireman's helmets.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35I'm not a fireman's helmet buff, if that's the right word,
0:47:35 > 0:47:37but they can't be rare, can they, really?
0:47:37 > 0:47:39£20 or £30?
0:47:39 > 0:47:42OK. £70 paid. So, that is not so hot.
0:47:42 > 0:47:46Next, we have the sextant in its case, and I don't know...
0:47:46 > 0:47:49How do you get on with these marine instruments?
0:47:49 > 0:47:53Well, they seem to sell well enough. You're looking at maybe £30 to £50.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55£150 paid.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57- So, that's a BIG problem. - It might be.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00And now the wool winder on stand.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03I just don't think it's very old, Tim. I mean, what do you do with it?
0:48:03 > 0:48:06- Oh, just £20 or £30.- £60 paid.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08So, we have a disaster with the sextant,
0:48:08 > 0:48:10not so hot with the wool winder,
0:48:10 > 0:48:13in which case, they're certainly going to need their bonus buys.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16So let's go and have a look.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18Now, Jess, Colleen, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:48:18 > 0:48:19- Ooh!- Ooh!
0:48:19 > 0:48:22You only spent £280, which is really good,
0:48:22 > 0:48:24and you gave Colin £20 of leftover lolly,
0:48:24 > 0:48:27so, Colin, for the team's bonus buy, what did you buy?
0:48:27 > 0:48:29I thought I'd spend all of it on that little thing.
0:48:29 > 0:48:31- You like that, don't you?- No.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33- No?!- It's awful.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35No?! No?!
0:48:35 > 0:48:37You only gave me 20 quid! What are you complaining about?
0:48:37 > 0:48:40- Is it something of a collector's jobbie, is it?- No.
0:48:40 > 0:48:44It's a bit of a copy of something a bit older, but it's a bit newer.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46- Do you like it? - It's not whether you like it or not.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49It's, are we going to make some money?
0:48:49 > 0:48:51- Ships(!)- Don't worry. Don't worry.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53- Bless you! - You don't have to like it.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55How much do you reckon?
0:48:55 > 0:48:57I think you've got to at least make 50% on that.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59- Do you think?- Yep.- OK, fine.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02Well, that's the team's bonus buy. That's one of your picks.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05But what does the auctioneer think about the Blues' team bonus buy?
0:49:07 > 0:49:10So, Jay, one beaker-form vase.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13Yep. Continental soda glass. Santa Maria.
0:49:13 > 0:49:16A bit of fun. £20 or £30.
0:49:16 > 0:49:17- £20 paid.- Yep. That's enough.
0:49:17 > 0:49:20Frankly, Colin only had £20 of leftover lolly.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22- So it's a reasonable buy, isn't it?- It is.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25If the team decide to go with that bonus buy.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28Time to see what the Blues make of their Tim's Ton.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32In this special program, girls, you also have Tim's Ton,
0:49:32 > 0:49:37the extra £100 which Colin has gone off to find something splendid,
0:49:37 > 0:49:38and, Colin, what have you got?
0:49:38 > 0:49:40Well, this time round,
0:49:40 > 0:49:42something that was going to strike a chord with you.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45- Oh! I like that.- That's a bit better. I don't mind that one.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48- Are we getting a bit better now? - Yeah.- I like that, yes.- OK.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51- Look at the back of it as well. - That's more us.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54- What, you mean classy?- Classy. - Very classy.- Exactly.
0:49:54 > 0:49:56That's not me. That's more me - tacky.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58Oh, darling, don't be like that and put yourself down!
0:49:58 > 0:50:00This is Colleen, this is me.
0:50:00 > 0:50:02This time round, I've spent £60.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05- What's it called?- It's actually a mandolin.- It is lovely.
0:50:05 > 0:50:07How much profit do you think it'll bring, though?
0:50:07 > 0:50:09I think it's going to be a sure profit again.
0:50:09 > 0:50:10- Might make you £20 or £30. - Right.- OK.
0:50:10 > 0:50:13Well, you watched his lips. You just have to think about it.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15Cos you don't pick now, you pick after the sale of your last item.
0:50:15 > 0:50:19Now, what does the auctioneer think about the Blues' Tim's Ton?
0:50:21 > 0:50:25A Dunn & Davidson Edinburgh resaled mandolin.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27This has obviously been well thumbed.
0:50:27 > 0:50:30And they seem to sell consistently, these, but not particularly rare.
0:50:30 > 0:50:33- £30 to £50, we think.- £60 was paid.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36- Well, it's going to struggle. - It's going to struggle?
0:50:36 > 0:50:39- At £60. - HE PLAYS A NOTE
0:50:39 > 0:50:40Seems to have struck the wrong note here.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42Thank you, Jeremy.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47£28. £30.
0:50:49 > 0:50:51Now, Ash, Sam, how are you feeling?
0:50:51 > 0:50:54- Excited.- Relaxed?- No.- No? What's the matter, Ash?
0:50:54 > 0:50:57- The tension is high.- But you're pretty happy all round, are you?
0:50:57 > 0:50:58- Oh, yeah.- Yeah? OK, fine.
0:50:58 > 0:51:02Got the fiddle-pattern ladle, which you paid £35 for.
0:51:02 > 0:51:07The silver sifter ladle. Always useful. £15.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10It is silver at £15. £15 bid. At £15.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12£18. Yes? £20.
0:51:12 > 0:51:16£22. £22 at the very back. At £22 now.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18Back right at £22. Who else?
0:51:18 > 0:51:21£25. He's back. At £25. It's in front now.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23I'll take £1 more. At £25.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25All done at £25?
0:51:25 > 0:51:28£25 is minus £10. I can't believe it.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31That has to be the cheapest silver this side of Newcastle.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34OK. Now, silver hand mirror.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36The Edwardian Art-Nouveau silver hand mirror.
0:51:36 > 0:51:40What about that one there at £15 for it?
0:51:40 > 0:51:43- £15?!- £15 for the hand mirror? £15. - FIFTEEN pounds!
0:51:43 > 0:51:44£15? £15.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46£18. Yes, £20.
0:51:46 > 0:51:49£22. £25. £25.
0:51:49 > 0:51:51Where's the internet bidders? Come on.
0:51:51 > 0:51:54All done, then? At £25? Anybody else at £25?
0:51:54 > 0:51:57Is minus £25, which is minus £35.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59This lavatory seat's got to do it for you.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02A novelty toilet seat here.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05£30. £30.
0:52:05 > 0:52:06- £30?- Come on.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08£20? £20, I've got.
0:52:08 > 0:52:11At £20. At £20. Who's going to go two?
0:52:11 > 0:52:14£20. Here. At £20. You're going to get it.
0:52:14 > 0:52:16At £20. Nobody else? Quite sure?
0:52:16 > 0:52:19- He's going to flush it away for £20. - That was a bargain.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21- £20 is minus £10... - I would have paid more for that.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24- ..is minus £45, chaps.- There's probably more in the actual seat.
0:52:24 > 0:52:26OK, chaps, you have to decide.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28Are you going to go with the miniature scissors
0:52:28 > 0:52:31or are you going to go with the little coffee table?
0:52:31 > 0:52:33- Probably thinking the scissors. - Are you?
0:52:33 > 0:52:35You don't have to go with either.
0:52:35 > 0:52:37We're not in a profit, so I think go with the scissors.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40Very good. So, we're going to go with the bonus buy -
0:52:40 > 0:52:42the team's bonus buy, which cost £10.
0:52:42 > 0:52:46The sharp pair of scissors in the little pocket travelling case.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48What about those? And the little penknife there.
0:52:48 > 0:52:49£5 for them.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52- £5, I've got on the internet. - Come on. Yes.
0:52:52 > 0:52:53£6 if you like. £6.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56At £6. I'll take £7 if you like, internet.
0:52:56 > 0:53:00At £6. The bid is in the room at £6.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02- All finished, then, at £6? - Oh, come on!
0:53:05 > 0:53:08Oh, dear, oh, dear. £6 is minus £4.
0:53:08 > 0:53:11Which means overall, you are minus £49.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15Now, you didn't go with Tim's Ton, you didn't go with the £100 table,
0:53:15 > 0:53:18but we're going to sell it anyway, and here it comes.
0:53:18 > 0:53:21Who'll start me at £30? £30 for it? £30.
0:53:21 > 0:53:24- Where's £30? £30? - < Oh, dear.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26Start me at £20. £20.
0:53:26 > 0:53:30- What a bargain. I'd pay...£20. - £20.- Come on!- £20.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32£10 only?
0:53:32 > 0:53:35Oh, dear! I'm sorry. I've wasted Tim's Ton!
0:53:35 > 0:53:37- £10. I'll take £12 if you like. - Sorry, Tim.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40At £10 only, and selling. The egg will not hatch?
0:53:42 > 0:53:45- OK, £10 is minus £90. - £10 for a table!- I would have that.
0:53:45 > 0:53:47So, listen. You did well, chaps.
0:53:47 > 0:53:50You took the right reading from this sale room
0:53:50 > 0:53:53and decided that you were not going to go with the modernist.
0:53:53 > 0:53:54Anyway, there we are.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56It was minus £4 on your bonus buy, the team's bonus buy,
0:53:56 > 0:53:58which means overall, you're minus £49,
0:53:58 > 0:54:01which could easily be a winning score, so let's be positive.
0:54:01 > 0:54:02- Oh, really?- Let's be upbeat.
0:54:02 > 0:54:05- Let's hope so! - Well, it could be, couldn't it?
0:54:05 > 0:54:07£28. £30.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16Now, brace up. Do you know how the Reds got on?
0:54:16 > 0:54:18- Not a clue.- No. - Nope. We don't want you to.
0:54:18 > 0:54:20Now, you went with the two fireman's helmets,
0:54:20 > 0:54:22you paid £70, and here they come.
0:54:22 > 0:54:24Two fireman's helmets. Here they are.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26So, who's going to start me?
0:54:26 > 0:54:27Two fireman's helmets. Start me at £20.
0:54:27 > 0:54:29- Nobody's bid anything yet. - £20 for these.
0:54:29 > 0:54:32- £20 bid left, then.- Oooh!- At £20.

0:54:41 > 0:54:43At £35. Selling them at £35.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45Quite sure?
0:54:45 > 0:54:50£35 is minus £35. Bad luck, girls.
0:54:50 > 0:54:51- Was it really? - Now, sextant.
0:54:51 > 0:54:53Yeah, you paid £70, sweet pea.

0:55:27 > 0:55:29It should be popular around here.

0:55:43 > 0:55:45That's five off 30, that's minus £35,
0:55:45 > 0:55:48which means overall, you're minus £155, girls.
0:55:48 > 0:55:50- Yes(!)- But we sold them all!
0:55:50 > 0:55:53- I know.- Sold! - It was marvellous, wasn't it?
0:55:53 > 0:55:55But let's try and win some back now, shall we, off these bonus buys?
0:55:55 > 0:55:58What about the Continental beaker? Do you fancy that?
0:55:58 > 0:56:01- Oh, that lovely vase? - Or the mandolin? Or neither?
0:56:01 > 0:56:03The "Continental beaker"?
0:56:03 > 0:56:05That gorgeous vase with those lovely sailing boats going round it.
0:56:05 > 0:56:08- The one that you said was so naff. - Disgusting.- That's the one.
0:56:08 > 0:56:10- Go on, go for the vase.- Naff will go? - Yeah.- Naff will go.
0:56:10 > 0:56:12- Naff is nice?- Naff is good. - Naff is going to...

0:56:14 > 0:56:18- We've only got to make how much? - £155 plus the cost of the naff.
0:56:18 > 0:56:19- Easy.- I reckon.- Perfect.

0:56:44 > 0:56:46Let's see what happens with the mandolin, eh?

0:57:07 > 0:57:09- You did about as well as us. - Minus £25.
0:57:09 > 0:57:13OK. That's it, then, kids. Your overall score is minus £160.
0:57:13 > 0:57:16It might be a winning score, so say nothing to the Reds, all right?
0:57:16 > 0:57:20- I don't think it's going to win.- Mmm. - Hey. Let's have fun, eh?
0:57:20 > 0:57:22- Thanks, kids.- Thank you.
0:57:31 > 0:57:33Well, well, well. Been having a chat, have we?
0:57:33 > 0:57:37- You friendly...snippers?- No. - Snippers and permers?
0:57:37 > 0:57:42OK, fine. Well, it's no secret there is no profit for either team today.
0:57:42 > 0:57:45In fact, it's a question for one team of monumental losses,
0:57:45 > 0:57:47and that team just happened to be the Blues.
0:57:47 > 0:57:50Girls, it was not running down your gutter today, was it?
0:57:50 > 0:57:52- No.- No.- It wasn't.
0:57:52 > 0:57:56All I can say is that as far as the bonus buys were concerned,
0:57:56 > 0:57:59- you picked the one that made the least loss...- Yes. That was good.
0:57:59 > 0:58:02We picked the same one, so we picked the right one,
0:58:02 > 0:58:04even though it didn't make a profit.
0:58:04 > 0:58:05- Does that make sense?- Yeah.
0:58:05 > 0:58:08- Have you had a nice time?- Yeah. Yeah, it's been great.- It's good.
0:58:08 > 0:58:10We've loved having you.
0:58:10 > 0:58:13Now, for the Reds, the boys, they're going to go home with victory
0:58:13 > 0:58:16by only managing to lose £49.
0:58:16 > 0:58:18- That's not bad, is it? - Which is not so bad, is it?
0:58:18 > 0:58:21I have to say that, Caroline, as far as the bonus buys were concerned,
0:58:21 > 0:58:25I was with you with your bonus buy, which was the miniature scissors,
0:58:25 > 0:58:27which made the smallest loss, so it's not all bad-bad, is it?
0:58:27 > 0:58:29- No.- Never mind.
0:58:29 > 0:58:34Such fun, though. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes? Yes!
