On today's hour-long special,

0:00:030:00:07

our teams include two lots of hairstylists.

0:00:070:00:13

So, will today be their crowning glory

0:00:130:00:16

or will they simply curl up and die?

0:00:160:00:19

There's only one way to find out.

0:00:190:00:21

Get out from under the dryer and let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!

0:00:210:00:26

We've come to the Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells

0:00:490:00:52

for today's action-packed programme.

0:00:520:00:54

Nothing's going to be cut. Oh, no.

0:00:540:00:57

We've tweaked the format

0:00:570:00:59

so that you get even more of the Bargain Hunt you know and love.

0:00:590:01:04

Right now, though, let's have a quick squint as to what's coming up.

0:01:040:01:09

On today's show, we have plenty of highlights.

0:01:090:01:11

The Reds work out on the shop.

0:01:110:01:13

Yeah, I'm not sure about this one.

0:01:150:01:17

-How are your abs? Are they firming up as we speak?

-They are.

0:01:170:01:21

While the Blues have buckets of fun.

0:01:210:01:24

-Quite fetching, you know.

-You like?

0:01:240:01:26

Another helmet here. This one fits much better!

0:01:260:01:29

THEY ALL LAUGH

0:01:290:01:31

What do you think? So much better!

0:01:310:01:33

But who will take the winning crown at auction?

0:01:330:01:36

-Yeah.

-Yes.

0:01:360:01:38

£28. £30.

0:01:380:01:40

Oooh!

0:01:400:01:42

Let's meet today's teams.

0:01:420:01:44

Today, our teams are a cut above the rest. Ha!

0:01:450:01:50

Because we have a team of barbers, Ash and Sam,

0:01:500:01:55

versus a team of hairdressers, Jess and Colleen.

0:01:550:01:59

-Hello, everyone.

-ALL:

-Hello!

-Hello! Hello.

0:01:590:02:02

Now, Ash, how was it that you two became friends?

0:02:020:02:05

We work in the same salon.

0:02:050:02:07

So, we do a lot of work together

0:02:070:02:08

-and we've just become close doing a lot of hair work.

-Mm-hm.

0:02:080:02:11

We do a lot of photographic work and stage work together, so...

0:02:110:02:14

-Stage work!

-Yeah.

0:02:140:02:15

Who comes to watch on stage? Student barbers and hairdressers?

0:02:150:02:18

Yeah, just hairdressers of every level.

0:02:180:02:20

Well, the marvellous thing about barbering and hairdressing

0:02:200:02:22

is that everybody's hair is going to grow at a rate of what?

0:02:220:02:25

-Half an inch a month.

-Half an inch a... Is that all?

0:02:250:02:28

-Pretty much.

-Really? OK, fine. But it's all going to grow, isn't it?

0:02:280:02:31

-It's going to grow.

-That's great for business.

0:02:310:02:33

-Now, Ash, you're a rising star in the hairdressing world.

-I am, yes.

0:02:330:02:36

I won an award last year, Best Stylist,

0:02:360:02:39

gave to me from the Fellowship of British Hairdressing.

0:02:390:02:42

-In Britain?

-Oh, I wish!

-THEY LAUGH

0:02:420:02:45

-In the future.

-Yeah. Maybe, like you said, a future rising star.

0:02:450:02:48

So, where was the competition held, then?

0:02:480:02:50

It was all throughout the year, actually,

0:02:500:02:51

and I was judged throughout the year,

0:02:510:02:53

and then it was gave to me at the Grosvenor House in London.

0:02:530:02:57

-So, it was a little posh do.

-That's very posh, isn't it?

0:02:570:02:59

-It was very posh, yes.

-Yeah.

0:02:590:03:01

Now, Sam, do you prefer cutting or showing?

0:03:010:03:03

I like both, actually. I like doing the cut and then showing it after.

0:03:030:03:06

Now, tell me, I'm intrigued by your hairdo,

0:03:060:03:08

because how do you get this bouffant look

0:03:080:03:11

where there's so much in the middle and so little on the sides?

0:03:110:03:14

Well, Ash does the sides, takes them off nice and short,

0:03:140:03:17

and then a lot of back-combing and half a can of hairspray.

0:03:170:03:19

And do you put... Hairspray, is it?

0:03:190:03:21

It's not, kind of, egg yolk and a whole load of mixtures like that?

0:03:210:03:24

-No. Just hairspray.

-Is it?

-There's a little hole in the ozone layer above my house.

0:03:240:03:27

THEY LAUGH

0:03:270:03:29

-I must say, it looks absolutely fantastic.

-Thank you.

0:03:290:03:32

-Well, good luck, chaps.

-Thank you.

0:03:320:03:34

-Meanwhile, for the girls, Jess.

-Hi.

0:03:340:03:36

Your friendship goes back a long way, doesn't it, with Colleen?

0:03:360:03:39

-Yep.

-Tell us about that.

0:03:390:03:40

Well, I met Colleen, oh, God, about 25 years ago, wasn't it?

0:03:400:03:44

-Even though I don't look old enough, do I?

-I know.

0:03:440:03:46

-You were three at the time.

-I was. Only just out of nappies.

0:03:460:03:49

-Exactly. Not in your long trousers, even.

-No.

-No.

0:03:490:03:52

-I met her in...

-That's cool.

-Yeah.

0:03:520:03:55

No, in the little local village, actually.

0:03:550:03:57

-And I went on to marry her brother.

-Oh, I see!

0:03:570:03:59

-How lovely is that?

-So, we're sister-in-laws.

0:03:590:04:01

-So there really is a strong connection there.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Well, that's absolutely super.

0:04:010:04:05

So, when you're not together, what do you get up to, Jess?

0:04:050:04:08

I've got lots of animals. So I spend all my time with my animals, really.

0:04:080:04:11

I've got horses, dogs...

0:04:110:04:13

Do your children go in for these animals too?

0:04:130:04:15

-My daughter's big into showing, so we show here at the Royal Welsh Show.

-Oh, do you?

-Every July.

0:04:150:04:19

-Now, Colleen.

-Yes?

0:04:190:04:21

Jess obviously loves working with you.

0:04:210:04:23

Tell me a bit more about your business.

0:04:230:04:25

Well, I've actually got a hair and beauty salon,

0:04:250:04:27

and then at the very front of the shop,

0:04:270:04:29

we have clothes and shoes and all, like, ladies' accessories,

0:04:290:04:32

and we make our own jewellery

0:04:320:04:34

and we make our own hair accessories as well.

0:04:340:04:36

-Oh, do you?

-And so, between that and doing the hair and beauty, we're very busy.

0:04:360:04:40

Sounds more like a hobby than a business.

0:04:400:04:42

-Is it like that, your business?

-Yeah. I've done it for 30 years.

0:04:420:04:44

So, you've got to love it to stay there for 30 years

0:04:440:04:46

doing hairdressing, haven't you, really, and beauty?

0:04:460:04:49

But, yeah, I ended up doing the clothes and all the bits and bobs, the extra bits, yeah.

0:04:490:04:52

And what about weddings? Do you like doing wedding hairdressing?

0:04:520:04:55

No! We don't do brides! They're nightmares!

0:04:550:04:57

Are they? Oh, right. They're not good?

0:04:570:04:59

-Well, they're...

-They're fussy, I suppose?

0:04:590:05:01

-They moan and groan and want to look too beautiful, don't they?

-Yeah.

0:05:010:05:04

Now, you two being such great mates,

0:05:040:05:06

this shopping today is going to be no problem, right?

0:05:060:05:08

-No problem?

-Hopefully.

-Hopefully not.

0:05:080:05:10

-Mmm. In unison, "Hopefully not."

-We do like to disagree sometimes.

0:05:100:05:13

-Oh, do you?

-Mmm.

-We don't know that much, really.

0:05:130:05:15

-It doesn't matter, though, does it?

-Oh, we'll have a bit of fun.

0:05:150:05:18

Just like the boys are here for a bit of fun. Which is great.

0:05:180:05:20

-Now, here comes your £300.

-Thank you very much.

-£300 apiece.

0:05:200:05:24

You know the rules. Your experts await, and off you go!

0:05:240:05:27

And very, very, very good luck.

0:05:270:05:29

Do you think I could have a haircut like that?

0:05:290:05:31

Now, let's meet our experts.

0:05:310:05:34

A good head on wise shoulders, Caroline Hawley,

0:05:340:05:37

will be assisting the Reds.

0:05:370:05:39

And ready to bail out the Blues is Colin Young.

0:05:390:05:43

-Ready to go?

-Absolutely.

-Yeah, definitely.

0:05:460:05:49

What are your plans for today? What are you looking for, both of you?

0:05:490:05:51

-Thinking vintage.

-Yeah.

-A bit quirky.

-Bit quirky.

0:05:510:05:55

-Are you looking forward to this?

-Oh, yeah!

0:05:550:05:57

-Yeah? Have you got a plan?

-No, not really.

0:05:570:06:00

-Just go for whatever we like, really.

-OK.

0:06:000:06:02

-Something that will appeal to the mass market...

-Right.

0:06:020:06:04

-..at a good price.

-A good... Right. No pressure, then.

0:06:040:06:07

-No pressure.

-No pressure.

-OK.

0:06:070:06:09

-It's got to jump out at us and say, "Buy me!"

-"Buy me"?

-Biggest loss!

0:06:090:06:12

Biggest loss? We're here to make profit!

0:06:120:06:15

-Let's see what we can find. Come on.

-OK.

0:06:150:06:17

Right, teams. Your 60 minutes starts now.

0:06:170:06:20

Start shopping.

0:06:200:06:21

SHE BLOWS HORN

0:06:210:06:23

-Nearly!

-SHE LAUGHS

0:06:230:06:25

-How much is on it?

-45 quid. I like these.

0:06:250:06:27

-Well, it works, doesn't it?

-Quirky. I like the hunting horn.

0:06:270:06:32

So, like the Reds, the Blues also favour the quirky approach.

0:06:320:06:35

But do the Reds need to exercise some restraint?

0:06:350:06:38

This exercise bike is extraordinary, isn't it? Yeah.

0:06:380:06:43

-Oh, is that what it is?

-Yeah. Do you want a go?

0:06:430:06:45

-THEY LAUGH

-Go on! Go on, son. Get on it.

0:06:450:06:48

Look at that!

0:06:500:06:52

-I can't believe I'm doing this on TV!

-How good is that?

0:06:530:06:57

Yeah. I'm not sure about this one.

0:06:570:06:59

How are your abs? Are they firming up as we speak?

0:06:590:07:02

They are firm.

0:07:020:07:04

-How much is this fine thing?

-Well, it could be 40 quid. >

0:07:040:07:07

-40 quid!

-And I'm sure it's quirky enough to make a profit.

0:07:070:07:09

-It's definitely quirky.

-It's a good price for what it is.

0:07:090:07:13

So, Sam, 40 quid. What do you think of it?

0:07:130:07:15

Uh, it's different. It's quirky.

0:07:150:07:17

I think if you can manage to walk round the rest of the fair,

0:07:170:07:20

we'll maybe think about it and come back?

0:07:200:07:22

-Yeah, OK.

-OK?

-Yeah.

-I agree.

0:07:220:07:25

Right, release yourself, Sam, and let's go.

0:07:250:07:27

-Yes!

-Do you need a hand?

-THEY ALL LAUGH

0:07:270:07:29

After that mini workout with Instructor Caroline,

0:07:290:07:32

the boys are off to see more of the fair.

0:07:320:07:34

Meanwhile, the Blues home in on head gear.

0:07:340:07:37

I like this. What do you think?

0:07:370:07:39

Well, if you want a tin helmet, it's all right, I suppose!

0:07:390:07:43

-"Oh, it suits you, sir!"

-I love it, I do. I love it.

0:07:430:07:45

-I think the problem is it's the wrong way round.

-Oh, is it?

0:07:450:07:48

-'Oh, Lord!'

-Yeah.

-Like this.

0:07:480:07:50

That's it. That's a little bit better.

0:07:500:07:52

You like? You like?

0:07:520:07:53

-My brain in there!

-It obviously works all right, doesn't it?

0:07:540:07:57

I like that.

0:07:570:07:59

-No, go on.

-I think Colin should see what it looks like on.

0:07:590:08:01

-OK.

-Oh, you've got a massive head.

0:08:010:08:03

Ooh. Yeah, I think I've got a problem there.

0:08:030:08:05

It's more a sort of ten-gallon hat on a two-pint head, isn't it?

0:08:050:08:09

It's good. I like. But we'll have a look around.

0:08:090:08:11

We haven't got much time, so...

0:08:110:08:13

-What's the lowest?

-What's the lowest you'd do?

0:08:130:08:15

About 5'1", in my case. What was your lowest?

0:08:150:08:19

-£65, ladies.

-OK, we'll think about a maybe, maybe come back.

0:08:190:08:23

We're literally the first one, so we'll go and have a look and see.

0:08:230:08:26

-You're on your hour race, are you?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK?

0:08:260:08:28

-60 quid and you can come back to it.

-Great. Thank you!

0:08:280:08:31

-Straight in. Let's put it on the mental shopping list.

-We'll come back.

-OK.

-Thank you.

0:08:310:08:35

It's got age, it's a little bit...

0:08:350:08:37

Ha ha! Customers!

0:08:370:08:39

We've got another helmet here! This one fits much better!

0:08:420:08:46

-THEY LAUGH

-What do you think?

0:08:460:08:48

-So much better!

-That one might fit me.

0:08:480:08:50

You watch out, Colin.

0:08:500:08:52

I think this pair are going to keep you on your toes.

0:08:520:08:54

Now, how are the Reds getting on?

0:08:540:08:56

-That's a jewellery box.

-OK.

0:08:570:08:59

-You were asking about jewellery boxes, weren't you?

-I was.

0:08:590:09:02

And this... Yeah. It's quite a nice thing.

0:09:020:09:05

-It IS a nice thing.

-And it's not a lot of money, is it?

-No.

0:09:050:09:08

-£18.

-It's got a little bit of damage there, hasn't it?

0:09:080:09:10

Oh, yeah, it has. I think we need to stay away from damage.

0:09:100:09:13

-I agree.

-Do you?

-Definitely.

0:09:130:09:15

Yes, Caroline, the only damage we want round here

0:09:150:09:18

is to the teams' budgets.

0:09:180:09:21

Meanwhile, the Blues aren't having any luck either.

0:09:210:09:24

On furniture, you really want to be looking at things

0:09:240:09:27

that are small, sweet and decorative rather than...

0:09:270:09:30

-What about suitcases?

-No.

-Erm...no. There'll be plenty...

0:09:300:09:33

These girls sure know what they like.

0:09:330:09:35

Waiting for something to jump out.

0:09:370:09:39

-Sorry?

-I'm waiting for something to jump out.

0:09:390:09:41

Something to jump out and grab you?

0:09:410:09:43

Keep hunting, Reds. It will, given time.

0:09:430:09:46

Seems the Blues are finding things just as tough.

0:09:460:09:49

Is it happening for you? Nope. Not happening.

0:09:490:09:52

-Colin?

-Yeah?

-What about this?

0:09:540:09:56

Well, the reel-to-reel ones don't cost much in the first place,

0:09:560:09:59

even though they look great.

0:09:590:10:01

It's not worth it. It's not worth it, by the sounds of it.

0:10:010:10:05

I want something different, and that helmet WAS different.

0:10:050:10:07

I liked that helmet.

0:10:070:10:09

Would you say that mannequin piece is modern or old or...?

0:10:120:10:15

I think it looks quite modern.

0:10:150:10:18

It is very different, yeah. I can see that hanging somewhere unusual.

0:10:180:10:23

Good "armless" fun, Caroline. Now, what have the Blues stumbled across?

0:10:230:10:26

-That's a nice mahogany one.

-£65, a games box.

0:10:280:10:31

-Worth it, not?

-It's not bad, actually.

0:10:310:10:34

-£65.

-But do you think that green thing - it's a bit new, isn't it?

0:10:340:10:37

Oh, it is. That's a replacement, yeah.

0:10:370:10:39

Basically, mahogany interior, good rosewood outside,

0:10:390:10:42

priced at £65 is good.

0:10:420:10:44

If you can get that bought for around the sort of £40, £45 mark...

0:10:440:10:48

-It's worth a go?

-..then it's worth a go, yeah, absolutely.

0:10:480:10:50

-What do you think, Jess?

-But do you like it?

0:10:500:10:52

I don't MIND it.

0:10:520:10:54

It wouldn't be something I had in my house, but other people, maybe.

0:10:540:10:56

I DID like that helmet. I keep going back to that.

0:10:560:10:59

OK, well, we've got two things.

0:10:590:11:01

-Let's keep it in that mental shopping list, and...

-Yeah.

0:11:010:11:03

I don't mind waiting until the last minute to go back and get them all.

0:11:030:11:06

Assuming they're still going to be there, Jess.

0:11:060:11:09

It's funny, actually. When you really start looking...

0:11:090:11:12

Like, if you glance, you're like, "Oh, that's nice,"

0:11:120:11:14

but when you really think about it, if it's going to...

0:11:140:11:16

Yeah, it's got to be nice enough to sell for a profit.

0:11:160:11:19

Two people have to want it.

0:11:190:11:21

This shopping lark is never as easy as you might think.

0:11:210:11:25

With both teams struggling to find a first purchase,

0:11:250:11:28

Colin wants a chat with the Blues.

0:11:280:11:30

You're getting a bit of nerves on this?

0:11:300:11:33

-Yeah. I need to buy!

-You need to buy?

-Yeah.

0:11:330:11:35

-You're in that mood?

-Yeah.

-It's always the same with Colleen!

0:11:350:11:38

-THEY LAUGH

-Spend, spend, spend!

0:11:380:11:40

-No, I think we do.

-Wind her in, wind her in.

0:11:400:11:42

OK. What do we want, then?

0:11:420:11:43

Out of the two we've got, do you want one or two of the things?

0:11:430:11:46

-One.

-I'm going to leave it up to you.

0:11:460:11:47

I think the helmet's quirkier. And we said we were going for quirky.

0:11:470:11:50

-Is it the one?

-Oh, I don't know. Is it the one?

0:11:500:11:53

Do you think it's worth a bit of a... Do you think it's good?

0:11:530:11:56

Uh, sorry, I was casting away there for a moment.

0:11:560:11:58

Is there a decision there?

0:11:580:12:00

-Help!

-Let's go for it. Let's go and buy that helmet.

0:12:000:12:03

At last! A decision made.

0:12:030:12:06

-Hiya.

-WOMAN: Hiya.

0:12:070:12:09

-That's a nice sifter spoon.

-Yeah. It is a nice spoon.

0:12:090:12:12

What would you sift through it?

0:12:120:12:13

What do you think you would sift through it?

0:12:130:12:16

-Tea?

-No.

-I was going to say tea.

-No, think again.

0:12:160:12:18

-No, think again.

-Uh, coffee? No.

0:12:180:12:20

-THEY LAUGH

-No!

0:12:200:12:23

I don't drink coffee, but you don't sift coffee, do you?

0:12:230:12:26

No. Oh, dear.

0:12:260:12:28

-It's a SUGAR sifter!

-Oh.

-Oh. OK.

-Oh, OK.

0:12:280:12:31

-Hi there. >

-£160. Hello. Good morning.

0:12:310:12:34

We're just looking at your sifter spoon here.

0:12:340:12:37

It's London. I can't rememb...

0:12:370:12:39

Tell you the truth, you have a look at it and tell...

0:12:390:12:41

..let your expert tell you what it is, if you can.

0:12:410:12:44

-Now, look. How nice is that? It's in very good condition.

-Yeah.

0:12:440:12:49

And if we have a look at the marks,

0:12:490:12:50

this is a full set of hallmarks to tell you that it's solid silver.

0:12:500:12:55

So, we've got the leopard's head here, which tells you it's London,

0:12:550:12:59

the lion mark, which tells you it's sterling silver.

0:12:590:13:01

There's a date letter here,

0:13:010:13:03

which will date it into the Victorian period,

0:13:030:13:05

-and then we've got Queen Victoria's head.

-Oh.

0:13:050:13:08

And the million-dollar - which I hope it's not - question is,

0:13:080:13:12

what price is this fine thing, please?

0:13:120:13:14

I was asking £60, but seeing it's you, you can have it for £45.

0:13:140:13:18

-I think it's a nice piece.

-It is pretty.

0:13:180:13:20

Do you think they're doing well?

0:13:200:13:22

-Silver is doing well. Yes.

-Always sells well.

0:13:220:13:25

It's always popular. That would make a nice wedding present.

0:13:250:13:28

-Could you do any better on that one?

-Maybe £35?

0:13:280:13:31

-OK, for you, £35 is OK. Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:13:310:13:33

-Brilliant. We have a piece.

-Our first buy!

0:13:330:13:35

-Our first buy!

-Yes, we have a piece. Our first buy.

0:13:350:13:38

Well done, Reds. The first purchase made.

0:13:380:13:40

With time fast ticking by, the Blues charge into action.

0:13:420:13:45

Where's that helmet stall?

0:13:450:13:47

So, which way was it? Which way was it?

0:13:470:13:49

That way! That way! That way!

0:13:490:13:51

-Oh!

-It's there, it's there! Ha!

0:13:510:13:54

-Can we, can we, can we?!

-< Best price was £55.

0:13:550:13:58

-So, £50!

-Is not £55.

0:13:580:14:01

Please?! Very pretty please?

0:14:010:14:03

It's very polite of you, but it's going to be £55.

0:14:030:14:05

-What do you think?

-Where's he gone?

0:14:050:14:07

-Mr Colin?

-What do you think?

0:14:070:14:09

-Erm...

-Mr Colin's found another one. How much is that one?

0:14:090:14:11

This one's priced at £28.

0:14:110:14:13

-So...

-So, you've got £55 on that one.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:14:130:14:17

If we bought the two, what would you do that one for?

0:14:170:14:19

-Yeah.

-What do you think? >

0:14:190:14:21

Would you sell it as a job lot or sell them individual?

0:14:220:14:25

-Is it two things?

-Well, let's see what the deal comes out at.

0:14:250:14:27

< I could do the two for £75.

0:14:270:14:29

OK, so, if you've got the choice of going for the two at £75

0:14:290:14:32

or just that one at £55...

0:14:320:14:34

-Go for the both.

-No, I'd go for that one.

0:14:340:14:36

-Go for this one?

-I don't think that's going to add anything to the lot...

0:14:360:14:40

< Would you mind leaving my stall, please?

0:14:400:14:42

THEY ALL LAUGH

0:14:420:14:43

-£70 for the both.

-< Yeah, go on, then. 70 quid.

0:14:430:14:46

-Let's see if it suits you first.

-OK. My advice has now changed.

0:14:460:14:48

I think you'd be better off going for the £70 for both.

0:14:480:14:51

-For the both?

-Yeah.

-And sell them as a job lot or individual?

0:14:510:14:54

Sell them as a job lot. Sell them as a job lot. £70.

0:14:540:14:58

-That's very fetching, you know.

-You like?

0:14:580:15:00

< Beautiful.

0:15:000:15:02

-Oh, go on, then.

-Are you going to go for it?

0:15:020:15:04

< Even more beautiful.

0:15:040:15:05

-Yeah? Shall we do it? Is it the one?

-Sold!

0:15:050:15:07

< Job done.

0:15:070:15:09

Cheers. Thank you for your advice.

0:15:090:15:11

You can return to my store any time now.

0:15:110:15:12

Thank you.

0:15:120:15:13

Finally, a purchase made.

0:15:130:15:15

You're off the starting blocks, Blues. Well done.

0:15:150:15:17

Lovely.

0:15:170:15:19

Both teams seem happy about making their first buy.

0:15:190:15:22

-So, are you happy with that, guys?

-Yes.

-Yes.

0:15:220:15:24

-I'm glad we got our first buy.

-Yeah. So am I.

0:15:240:15:26

-Half an hour in, yeah.

-I was getting a bit scared.

0:15:260:15:28

It's all right just having a bit of a wander,

0:15:280:15:30

but we're not window shopping.

0:15:300:15:32

-We're meant to be shopping.

-I'm normally good at spending money.

0:15:320:15:36

I feel better now that I've bought one thing.

0:15:360:15:38

-You do? That's great.

-For one thing.

-Yep.

0:15:380:15:40

No, really good, 'cause I actually like the fact

0:15:400:15:42

that the one thing was really old and the other one was just exactly

0:15:420:15:45

how you imagine a fireman's helmet to be, right?

0:15:450:15:48

You know what I mean? The brass one is more unusual, isn't it?

0:15:480:15:50

-So, the pressure's off now, then?

-Yeah.

-Is it?

0:15:500:15:52

Well, I wouldn't exactly say that, Colin.

0:15:520:15:55

But the girls certainly seem relieved.

0:15:550:15:57

Talking of which...

0:15:570:15:58

Would you like to come and see this lavatory seat?

0:15:580:16:01

-You could spend a penny...or a few.

-Brilliant.

0:16:010:16:04

-£45.

-Is there £45 in there?

-I don't know. We'll have a look. One minute.

0:16:040:16:09

Three, six, nine pounds. £9 and quite a lot of pence.

0:16:090:16:12

-Who's going to, uh...

-Who's going to have a look at it?

0:16:120:16:14

-Ash, after you!

-Go on, son!

0:16:140:16:16

THEY LAUGH

0:16:160:16:18

-Who's got some gloves?

-Oh!

0:16:180:16:19

-Oh, he's gone for it.

-Ooh!

0:16:200:16:22

-Heavy, I bet.

-It is quite heavy, actually. Mmm.

0:16:220:16:25

Do you think anybody would wish to have that?

0:16:250:16:27

-Oh, I don't know.

-My gran would love it.

0:16:270:16:29

THEY ALL LAUGH

0:16:290:16:31

-No.

-What?

0:16:310:16:33

-That is quite amusing, isn't it?

-It is.

0:16:330:16:35

Ah! "Limited Edition. 21 of 500."

0:16:350:16:39

-"Pennies From Heaven".

-Pennies From Heaven.

0:16:390:16:41

500! Well, I've not seen the other 499 of these things.

0:16:410:16:45

Shall I go and find the owner and see what the very best is on this?

0:16:450:16:49

-Let's go for it.

-All right, you hold it.

0:16:490:16:50

What is a penny from heaven worth?

0:16:500:16:52

I can't believe we're actually going to buy a toilet seat.

0:16:520:16:55

-'Nor can I.'

-It's cool, though. Modern art.

0:16:550:16:58

-Not £40.

-Not £40?

-Not £40?

0:16:580:17:01

-£35.

-£35.

0:17:010:17:03

-I do like the piece. It's different.

-It's different.

0:17:030:17:05

-I don't know if it would sell.

-Unexpected.

0:17:050:17:07

-I think it's got a little bit of, sort of...

-Mmm.

-..mmm.

0:17:070:17:10

A bit of "mmm". THEY LAUGH

0:17:100:17:11

-That's got a bit of "mmm".

-I think we'll put it down and move on.

-I think so.

0:17:110:17:14

OK, move on, Reds.

0:17:140:17:16

That clock is ticking. There's no time to hang about.

0:17:160:17:18

What is it?

0:17:200:17:21

-What is it?

-A wool winder.

-I like that.

-And that's Welsh.

0:17:210:17:24

-A wool winder. Something a bit rustic.

-Yea or nay?

0:17:240:17:26

-It depends on the price.

-< 70 quid.

0:17:260:17:28

Do you know the history behind it? What sort of age it is?

0:17:280:17:31

-Uh...mid-Victorian.

-Yeah.

0:17:310:17:33

I think it's quite an interesting piece.

0:17:330:17:35

Definitely something to put on the shopping list.

0:17:350:17:37

So, the lowest of the lowest - what would you take?

0:17:370:17:39

-£65.

-Good price. We'll think about that.

0:17:390:17:42

-Have a little look round.

-OK.

0:17:420:17:44

So, what are your opinions on the lavatory seat?

0:17:480:17:51

-Erm...

-Are we going to spend a penny?

0:17:510:17:53

Or is it a busted flush?

0:17:530:17:56

-I think we may spend a penny.

-OK.

0:17:560:17:59

-It's a niche market.

-Right.

0:17:590:18:01

I think if we're struggling, we will go back to it.

0:18:010:18:04

-OK. So, you don't want to go back now?

-Don't want to go back now.

0:18:040:18:07

So, the Reds are having second thoughts about the loo seat.

0:18:070:18:10

But what have the Blues spotted now?

0:18:100:18:12

What about that, Colin? What do you think that is?

0:18:120:18:14

Well, I think it's an afro comb. I think that'll be just ideal for me.

0:18:140:18:17

-You think?

-Maybe not.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:18:170:18:19

-You're half tempted by that, aren't you?

-I am, yeah.

0:18:190:18:21

-Being the hairdresser that you are...

-I am tempted by that.

0:18:210:18:23

Because if it is a comb and... Do you think...

0:18:230:18:26

What would be the best you'd do on that?

0:18:260:18:28

£20 would be the best. >

0:18:280:18:29

-Do you want to go with that?

-Uh-uh.

0:18:290:18:32

-No?

-We'll see.

-We've still got time.

0:18:320:18:33

-Go on, then.

-Let's come back to this.

-We might come back to you.

0:18:330:18:36

This is our get-out-of-jail card, isn't it?

0:18:360:18:39

I quite like that comb, though.

0:18:390:18:41

Keep on looking, Blues, but that's something else to think about.

0:18:410:18:44

Now, I feel a literary moment coming on.

0:18:440:18:47

I tell you, it takes quite a book to get me excited,

0:18:470:18:51

and we have such a book in front of us.

0:18:510:18:54

They always say you can't tell a book by its cover,

0:18:540:18:58

but in fact, when it comes to 18th-century bookbinding,

0:18:580:19:02

you can tell quite a lot,

0:19:020:19:04

because there is a beautifully patinated and coloured piece of calf leather

0:19:040:19:10

that has been applied to a stiff board by the bookbinder,

0:19:100:19:14

because at the time that he did this - early in the 19th century -

0:19:140:19:19

he rated the book as being special.

0:19:190:19:22

The spine has the title, and that says "History Of America".

0:19:220:19:26

And if you're a collector at all,

0:19:260:19:28

having a book that relates to such a prosperous country as North America

0:19:280:19:34

is in itself a very good reason to take a look.

0:19:340:19:38

So, inside, we come across the title page,

0:19:380:19:42

and it says, "The history of America,

0:19:420:19:44

"including the history of Virginia to the year 1688

0:19:440:19:48

"and New England to the year 1652,

0:19:480:19:51

"by William Robertson."

0:19:510:19:53

But Mr Robertson didn't publish his early history.

0:19:530:19:58

What happened was a later author, David M'Intosh,

0:19:580:20:03

came along after Robertson's death,

0:20:030:20:05

he took the early history and he wrote the later history.

0:20:050:20:10

And his later history is "The new edition, with a continuation,

0:20:100:20:14

"of the history of the colonies from 1652 to the present time."

0:20:140:20:20

So M'Intosh has taken the story bang up-to-date -

0:20:200:20:24

but bang up-to-date for him was 1817.

0:20:240:20:29

One of the many amusements in this volume are the illustrations.

0:20:290:20:34

For example, we look here on page 34,

0:20:340:20:38

we should find the first discovery of America by Columbus.

0:20:380:20:42

And sure enough, opposite 34, there is that plate.

0:20:420:20:46

Christopher Columbus on his knees discovering the Americas

0:20:460:20:50

with a few natives just in shore.

0:20:500:20:53

Next, we might look, on page 313,

0:20:530:20:57

at a map of the United States of America.

0:20:570:21:00

HE CHUCKLES

0:21:000:21:01

Well, doesn't look much like the United States of America, does it?

0:21:010:21:04

No, because these are the few states in 1817

0:21:040:21:09

that formed the independent United States of America.

0:21:090:21:13

You can see New York and Pennsylvania and Virginia,

0:21:130:21:16

the few states clustering along the east coast

0:21:160:21:20

before the vast expansion of the country

0:21:200:21:23

across the western part of the USA.

0:21:230:21:27

And no history of the USA would be complete

0:21:270:21:30

without an illustration of Washington,

0:21:300:21:33

and here we have him,

0:21:330:21:35

and of course, it was his famous Declaration of Independence

0:21:350:21:38

that led to the independence of the USA

0:21:380:21:42

and the formation of the country as we know it today.

0:21:420:21:45

If you consider the prosperity that sits in America right now,

0:21:450:21:50

if you consider the passion that they have for their early history,

0:21:500:21:55

it is all wrapped up in this volume.

0:21:550:21:58

That's why, if you can find a book like this

0:21:580:22:03

and it happens to be priced at £67,

0:22:030:22:06

I advise you to take a quick squint.

0:22:060:22:09

What's it worth?

0:22:090:22:10

Well, in good condition -

0:22:100:22:12

and remember, there's some work to be done

0:22:120:22:14

to the binding of this particular job -

0:22:140:22:16

I would guess that its estimate at auction

0:22:160:22:18

would be more in the order of £1,000 to £1,500.

0:22:180:22:23

So, Yankee-doodle-doo, hey?

0:22:230:22:26

Back to the shopping.

0:22:270:22:28

There's just 20 minutes left,

0:22:280:22:30

and both teams have one purchase under their belts.

0:22:300:22:33

The pressure is on.

0:22:330:22:34

-Oh, God, Colin!

-What?

0:22:340:22:36

-She's getting old!

-No, I'm getting all panicky. I think we just...

0:22:360:22:39

No, don't panic. Don't panic.

0:22:390:22:41

-Will they give us time to run back?

-No!

0:22:410:22:43

An hour is an hour, girls.

0:22:430:22:45

-You like your old radios, don't you?

-Yeah.

0:22:450:22:48

They're just hard work when it comes to sales.

0:22:480:22:50

Trouble is, it's only going to reap maybe £10 in a sale.

0:22:500:22:53

-No.

-So, not for us.

0:22:530:22:55

No, no.

0:22:550:22:57

Even with limited time, there seems to be a lot of looking going on

0:22:570:23:00

and not much buying.

0:23:000:23:01

I feel a sense of panic mounting.

0:23:010:23:03

Yeah, that's a lovely quilt. Did you see that? With roses, yeah.

0:23:030:23:07

Both teams are really struggling to make that second purchase.

0:23:070:23:10

Oh, no! Not another one!

0:23:100:23:12

I know what you do like.

0:23:120:23:14

Oh, another helmet!

0:23:140:23:16

Oh, we can't really buy another helmet.

0:23:160:23:18

There's only so many helmets you can sell at an auction room.

0:23:180:23:21

This is very true. Let's give it a miss.

0:23:210:23:23

-Yeah?

-I thought it was worth a look.

0:23:230:23:24

A look, Colin, yes, but it's a purchase you need.

0:23:240:23:27

This stall seems popular.

0:23:270:23:29

The Reds are following in the same footsteps as the Blues

0:23:290:23:32

and have spotted something.

0:23:320:23:33

What do you think of this, Caroline?

0:23:330:23:35

1905.

0:23:370:23:38

-Oh, wow! I like that.

-Hallmarked. A nice weight.

0:23:380:23:42

Walker & Hall. A good Birmingham maker. Yeah.

0:23:420:23:45

Did you know, I love Art Nouveau.

0:23:450:23:47

-Oh, really? Yeah.

-I do. I really love Art Nouveau.

0:23:470:23:49

And this, 1905, is exactly the period.

0:23:490:23:53

-OK.

-1895, 1905 was fin-de-siecle in France,

0:23:530:23:59

the Art Nouveau period really at its height.

0:23:590:24:02

-But what do you think, Sam?

-I think it's a very pretty piece.

0:24:020:24:05

I just wonder how popular they'd be round about now.

0:24:050:24:08

They'd always look good on a lady's dressing table.

0:24:080:24:11

-How much is it, though?

-£75.

0:24:110:24:13

Do you want to go and ask the very best on it? I think...

0:24:130:24:16

Hello! Hi. May we just talk to you, sir, about your mirror?

0:24:160:24:21

Very, very, very best, please.

0:24:210:24:24

60 quid. >

0:24:240:24:25

-SHE TUTS

-Oh!

0:24:250:24:27

I don't think we're going to get...

0:24:270:24:28

'Ooh, look. It's Mr Wool Winder again.'

0:24:280:24:31

It needs to be £50 for us to make a profit on it.

0:24:310:24:34

-Yeah, go on.

-Yes?

-Yeah.

0:24:340:24:36

-Thank you!

-You're welcome.

0:24:360:24:38

At last, another purchase made for the Reds. Thank goodness for that.

0:24:390:24:43

There's now just five minutes left.

0:24:430:24:46

Shall we go get the wool thing? Jess, let's go get the wool thing.

0:24:460:24:48

-I like stressing you out.

-No, no, cos then...we've done that, then.

0:24:480:24:52

Well, we'll go round that way now.

0:24:540:24:56

-We'll have to start running soon.

-I know. I know!

0:24:570:25:00

I'd start running now if I were you.

0:25:000:25:03

The Reds need one more item and the Blues need two.

0:25:030:25:06

I don't think we're going to do it, are we?

0:25:060:25:09

-There was a lovely quilt, wasn't there?

-Yeah.

0:25:100:25:13

Do you remember? We looked in and there was a quilt.

0:25:130:25:16

-Was it this one in here?

-Or was it the next one?

0:25:160:25:18

I think it was the next one.

0:25:180:25:19

-Shall I just run into these other two?

-OK.

-And have a look.

0:25:190:25:23

Was it this one over here?

0:25:250:25:27

-Was it where?

-Was it another shed?

0:25:270:25:29

Yes. It might be in that one. Shall we go up here? All right. Come on.

0:25:290:25:33

Here it is! Right.

0:25:340:25:37

Let's just open it up and check for damage.

0:25:370:25:40

There is no damage on that side. Shall we turn it over?

0:25:400:25:44

Oh, well, you see, that's lovely. So, it's reversible.

0:25:440:25:47

-Good quality, isn't it?

-I like the other side.

0:25:470:25:49

-You like the other side? I like this side.

-I like this side.

0:25:490:25:52

Yeah. Two against one.

0:25:520:25:53

The main question is the money. £185.

0:25:530:25:56

It's either this or the loo seat,

0:25:560:25:58

and we've got about three minutes left.

0:25:580:26:00

-No, let's get the toilet seat.

-Yeah. OK.

0:26:000:26:02

-You want the toilet seat?

-Yeah.

-Toilet seat it is! Come on!

0:26:020:26:05

OK, pop the quilt back and get running, lads.

0:26:050:26:09

Ah. A sextant.

0:26:130:26:15

-£240.

-Yeah. Well, we've got the money.

0:26:150:26:17

The thing is, with this sextant, it might not float your boat, but at least it will direct it.

0:26:170:26:21

-It'll make the money, will it?

-Yeah. Got a chance of...

0:26:210:26:23

-Go on, then.

-Let's ask the question. Hi there. How are you doing?

0:26:230:26:26

What's the, sort of, bestest you can do?

0:26:260:26:29

Bargain of the day - £150.

0:26:290:26:31

< Right, quick. We can pay for it. Let's go.

0:26:310:26:33

-Go for it?

-That's it, yep.

-Brilliant.

-Well done, my man!

0:26:330:26:36

A panic purchase, but at least it's a purchase.

0:26:360:26:39

-Whee!

-Whee!

-Two out of three.

0:26:390:26:41

Yes, at least it's a purchase.

0:26:410:26:43

But you still need one more, as do the Reds.

0:26:430:26:45

Oh, it's still here! Goodness me!

0:26:470:26:49

-Let's quickly buy it.

-Phew! I'm a bit flushed after all that!

0:26:500:26:53

THEY LAUGH

0:26:530:26:54

Gosh. Right. I'll go and see if we can get just one more fiver off it.

0:26:540:26:57

-Sounds great. Cool.

-Probably if it's still here.

0:26:570:27:00

-How'd you go?

-£30.

-Oh, brilliant.

0:27:000:27:02

-Is that OK?

-Let's have it.

0:27:020:27:04

-Profit-making.

-Right, let's go and pay.

-Brilliant.

0:27:040:27:07

Well done, Reds. That's you done and dusted.

0:27:090:27:11

And in the last minute of the shop,

0:27:110:27:14

the Blues decided there's only one thing to do...

0:27:140:27:17

Well, that's a good sign. A smiling stallholder.

0:27:170:27:20

-That one, then?

-Go for that one.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:27:200:27:22

So, you gave us a sixty-fiver.

0:27:220:27:25

-Is that the very, very, very, very, very best...

-£60! Go on!

0:27:250:27:28

-£60.

-Yay! £60.

-Top man. Absolutely brilliant.

0:27:280:27:33

I'll shake your hand on that one.

0:27:330:27:35

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:27:350:27:36

Thank you very much.

0:27:360:27:38

-So, do we have a happy team?

-Yeah, I think so.

-Yep. We do.

0:27:380:27:41

-Have you enjoyed your hour?

-Yeah, brilliant.

0:27:410:27:43

Finally, the Blues made their third purchase.

0:27:430:27:45

My, that was a hair-raising experience.

0:27:450:27:47

Talk about cutting it fine.

0:27:470:27:49

Time's up. Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh?

0:27:490:27:52

They sprinkled £35 on a Victorian pierced silver ladle.

0:27:520:27:57

An Art-Nouveau silver-backed hand mirror

0:27:590:28:02

set them back a reflective £50.

0:28:020:28:05

And finally, they flushed away £30

0:28:070:28:09

on a novelty Pennies from Heaven toilet seat.

0:28:090:28:12

-Well, you went right up to the wire, didn't you?

-We did.

-Absolutely.

0:28:140:28:17

Testing everybody to the limit!

0:28:170:28:19

Even our green goddess, who hardly knew which way to turn.

0:28:190:28:23

How much did you spend all told?

0:28:230:28:25

We spent £115 altogether.

0:28:250:28:27

£115. I'd like £185 of leftover lolly, please.

0:28:270:28:31

-There we are.

-Thank you, Ash.

0:28:310:28:32

Now, which is your favourite piece?

0:28:320:28:34

-My favourite piece was the mirror.

-Was it?

0:28:340:28:36

It caught my eye straightaway and it was my favourite piece.

0:28:360:28:39

Very good. Sam, what about you?

0:28:390:28:40

I think it has to be the toilet seat. Even though it shouldn't be.

0:28:400:28:43

-But there's something about it.

-Right. Have you no taste?

0:28:430:28:45

THEY LAUGH No. I don't think I have!

0:28:450:28:47

OK, fair enough. Then join the clan. Very good.

0:28:470:28:49

There is a bunch of money

0:28:490:28:51

for you to go and find the team's bonus buy, OK?

0:28:510:28:53

But here comes Tim's Ton.

0:28:530:28:55

For our special program, you get the extra £100.

0:28:550:28:58

-Thank you.

-The ton of money to go and find your second bonus buy.

0:28:580:29:01

And however you do, Caroline, come back and show me how you got on.

0:29:010:29:05

You've got ten minutes to find Tim's Ton.

0:29:050:29:08

You'd better shove off and go for it, girl,

0:29:080:29:10

and very, very, very good luck.

0:29:100:29:11

Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?

0:29:110:29:15

Two fireman's helmets cost them a hot £70.

0:29:150:29:19

A lacquered brass sextant cost them £150.

0:29:210:29:25

And finally, they spun £60 of their budget

0:29:270:29:29

on this stained beech wool winder.

0:29:290:29:32

-OK, so, that was pretty zany, wasn't it?

-It was, yes indeed.

0:29:350:29:38

-And you went right up to the wire.

-Yes. To the very second.

0:29:380:29:40

Yeah, well, there you go.

0:29:400:29:42

Now, which is the favourite piece for you, Jess?

0:29:420:29:45

Erm, I think the helmets that we bought. We bought fireman's helmets.

0:29:450:29:48

I think they were quirky and good. I like those, yeah.

0:29:480:29:50

And does the boss of the hairdressing salon agree?

0:29:500:29:52

-Yes, definitely.

-You do agree?

-Yeah, I love them.

-Yes? OK, fine.

0:29:520:29:55

-And how much did you spend?

-£280.

0:29:550:29:58

Oh, you did well there, girls. Can I have £20 of leftover lolly, please?

0:29:580:30:01

-Yes, you can.

-Thank you. There's the £20. Excellent.

0:30:010:30:05

-Straight across to Colin.

-Thank you.

0:30:050:30:07

-Not a vast amount of cash, Colin.

-No.

0:30:070:30:09

But aided and abetted by the £100 of Tim's Ton money

0:30:090:30:15

for you to buy the second bonus buy with.

0:30:150:30:17

Hopefully that'll give you some flexibility.

0:30:170:30:20

It will. I think I know more or less what I'm going to go for.

0:30:200:30:23

I think it will add a bit of clarity

0:30:230:30:25

and...a bit of crystal water over this one, I think.

0:30:250:30:28

-Ooh.

-Ooh!

-There's some hints there.

0:30:280:30:30

OK, girls, relax up. Good luck, Colin.

0:30:300:30:33

You've got ten minutes to do it.

0:30:330:30:34

If you'd please bring 'em back to me, your bonus buys,

0:30:340:30:37

so that we can have a chat in a minute, that would be great.

0:30:370:30:40

Meanwhile, though, why don't we find out

0:30:400:30:42

how Caroline Hawley's getting on with her purchase of the bonus buys?

0:30:420:30:47

First on the shopping list is the team bonus buy.

0:30:480:30:51

-There you go.

-Thank you.

0:30:530:30:54

-What's the best on these?

-£10, if that's all right with you.

0:30:560:30:59

-Yeah. That's great.

-Smashing. Thank you very much indeed.

0:30:590:31:02

I would love these.

0:31:020:31:03

My "sharp pair" of barbers, and look what I've got them -

0:31:030:31:07

a little miniature, miniature pair of scissors

0:31:070:31:11

and a tiny penknife.

0:31:110:31:14

Just a little bit quirky and a bit daft, and £10.

0:31:140:31:18

And how about your Tim's Ton, Caroline?

0:31:190:31:22

-Excuse me?

-Hi.

0:31:230:31:25

What can you tell me about it?

0:31:250:31:26

It's 1970s Italian.

0:31:260:31:28

-What's the price?

-Well, I was looking round about £160.

0:31:280:31:33

I don't want to be mean, but I could go £100 but no more.

0:31:330:31:37

-Yeah, go on, then.

-Will you?

-We'll do that.

0:31:370:31:38

-Oh, thank you... Ooh, yes!

-I'll shake with that hand.

0:31:380:31:41

I have spent every last penny of Tim's Ton on this.

0:31:410:31:45

We don't have a maker, but I think it's going to make a profit.

0:31:450:31:49

Now time for a chat with Caroline about both bonus buys.

0:31:490:31:53

-Now, CH, this is your test, isn't it?

-It is.

0:31:530:31:56

I gave you £185 of leftover lolly to find the team's bonus buy,

0:31:560:32:01

and that is it, right?

0:32:010:32:02

-I'm afraid it is!

-THEY LAUGH

0:32:020:32:04

Don't be afraid.

0:32:040:32:05

It looks very small, but it is perfect for my pair of barbers,

0:32:050:32:10

and these are a little miniature pair of scissors.

0:32:100:32:15

-About 1920, I would think.

-Mm-hm.

0:32:150:32:17

They wouldn't cut much hair, would they? But anyway.

0:32:170:32:19

Nice little pair of scissors, and a miniature penknife here.

0:32:190:32:23

-So, it's a sewing accessory, really?

-Or a miniature barber's accessory.

0:32:230:32:27

But "A Sharp Pair", then. So, there's a pun there, isn't it?

0:32:270:32:29

-Yeah. There is a pun.

-Which is rather sweet, isn't it?

0:32:290:32:32

If it's going to go into your travelling needlework set.

0:32:320:32:35

-Well, I gave you £180...

-You did.

0:32:350:32:39

..so how much did you spend?

0:32:390:32:40

-I only spent a tenner, Tim.

-Did you really?

-I did.

0:32:400:32:43

-That is so unlike me.

-You are so cheap to take out.

0:32:430:32:45

I know! It's terrible! I'm not normally.

0:32:450:32:48

-No, no, quite. I quite understand.

-No, but this just had to be bought.

0:32:480:32:51

OK, for £10. Very good.

0:32:510:32:52

-So, that's the team's bonus buy.

-Yeah.

-What about Tim's Ton?

0:32:520:32:56

-I spent the whole of it.

-Why?

0:32:560:32:58

-SHE LAUGHS

-Why?! Tim, you can see why!

0:32:580:33:01

It's a 1970s Italian coffee table,

0:33:010:33:04

and I just think that that is so contemporary.

0:33:040:33:07

-Are you seeing it?

-Where are we selling this?

0:33:070:33:09

Well, we're selling it at Shrewsbury...

0:33:090:33:11

-HE LAUGHS

-I know! I know! I know!

0:33:110:33:13

-OK, you spent £100 of my money.

-I did.

-My WHOLE £100 went on that.

0:33:130:33:17

Now, my invidious task is to make a prediction -

0:33:170:33:20

which will bring, in proportion to the amount that was spent,

0:33:200:33:25

the most profit?

0:33:250:33:28

And quite frankly, this miniature sewing bit of kit

0:33:280:33:32

has the best chance of bringing the biggest profit

0:33:320:33:36

in proportion to the £10 that you spent.

0:33:360:33:38

I can see that bringing £20 to £30, or even £40.

0:33:380:33:42

-Mm-hm. Great.

-So you've been very clever on that.

-Thank you.

0:33:420:33:45

As to Tim's Ton for £100, I would think you would be jolly lucky

0:33:450:33:49

to wipe your face with that in Shrewsbury.

0:33:490:33:51

I'm looking forward to prove you wrong on this, Tim.

0:33:510:33:54

Oh, she's a hard woman, isn't she?

0:33:540:33:56

Anyway, right now, why don't we take a squint

0:33:560:33:58

at how Colin Young, our Blues expert,

0:33:580:34:02

is getting on buying his bonus buys?

0:34:020:34:04

Thank you, Caroline.

0:34:040:34:06

Remember, Colin had just £20 of leftover lolly

0:34:060:34:09

for his team bonus buy,

0:34:090:34:11

so, Colin, what are you thinking?

0:34:110:34:13

I've seen something on a stand back here

0:34:130:34:15

that I think is going to fit not necessarily the bill,

0:34:150:34:17

but it's certainly going to fit the budget.

0:34:170:34:20

-Having a good fair?

-Not too bad.

0:34:200:34:22

That's good news, then. I might be able to do all right.

0:34:220:34:24

What's the asking price on this one at present?

0:34:240:34:27

I've got £30 on it.

0:34:270:34:28

I'll tell you no lie - it's my bonus buy and they've only left me £20.

0:34:280:34:32

I could probably do that for you.

0:34:320:34:34

-That was a nice, easy one, then.

-Yeah.

0:34:340:34:36

-Thank you very much.

-OK. Thanks very much.

0:34:360:34:38

There we go.

0:34:380:34:39

The reason I went for this - obviously a vase -

0:34:390:34:41

nice enamel decoration, that sort of Moser look.

0:34:410:34:44

For that reason, £20, you'd get a copy -

0:34:440:34:46

you ain't gonna get the original.

0:34:460:34:48

So, how do you plan to spend Tim's Ton, Colin?

0:34:480:34:52

This one certainly should fill the slot.

0:34:520:34:55

What have we got? Mandolin, late 19th century.

0:34:550:34:57

"The Davidson Music Sellers of Edinburgh".

0:34:570:35:00

-Hello there.

-Hi. Are you all right?

-Yeah, very good, thanks.

0:35:000:35:03

Interested in this. Marked up at £85.

0:35:030:35:05

Noticed a couple of things with it, like, you know, lack of strings.

0:35:050:35:08

-Indeed.

-Yeah, a little bit washed out on the front board.

0:35:080:35:11

But what would be your best that you would be able to do on this?

0:35:110:35:14

Best on that is £65.

0:35:140:35:16

Any chance we could... just shave another fiver off

0:35:160:35:18

and be down to the £60?

0:35:180:35:20

I think that would be a bit of a sweeter note.

0:35:200:35:22

-Yeah, £60. We'll do £60.

-£60's good?

-Yeah.

0:35:220:35:24

-Brilliant. Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

-Excellent.

0:35:240:35:27

Now, time for me to catch up with Colin about these bonus buys.

0:35:270:35:30

Well, Colin, you have been a busy boy, haven't you?

0:35:300:35:32

-Yeah. It's been a hectic day.

-TIM LAUGHS

0:35:320:35:34

£20 is all you were given for the team's bonus buy,

0:35:340:35:38

and that is it - tell us about it.

0:35:380:35:40

Well, it's that enamel-effect glass.

0:35:400:35:43

It's not particularly old. It's only a 20th-century example.

0:35:430:35:47

And the finish is pretty good. And key...

0:35:470:35:49

-DING!

-..it rings OK.

0:35:490:35:50

So, no damage.

0:35:500:35:52

It looks old, cos it's got all this bubbling in the glass,

0:35:520:35:56

and that's because it's trying to look like soda metal,

0:35:560:35:59

which would be early Continental glass, is it?

0:35:590:36:01

Absolutely.

0:36:010:36:03

You're looking at something that's potentially 17th century,

0:36:030:36:05

but we know it isn't.

0:36:050:36:07

Yeah. So, here we've got Christopher Columbus's Santa Maria,

0:36:070:36:11

the vessel that took Christopher Columbus across the Atlantic, yes?

0:36:110:36:15

-Yeah.

-On his discovery of America and so forth.

0:36:150:36:18

So, somebody in the late Victorian or Edwardian period

0:36:180:36:21

has thumped that on there

0:36:210:36:23

because they just wanted it as a decorative device.

0:36:230:36:25

-Is that it?

-That's it.

-Brilliant. And you spent how much on this?

0:36:250:36:27

-£20.

-THEY LAUGH

0:36:270:36:29

You're not predicting much of a profit on it?

0:36:290:36:31

Oh, I think it'll be all right, actually,

0:36:310:36:33

cos it does have the look, and that was the reason I went for it.

0:36:330:36:36

So, £20 spent. That's the full £20 for the team's bonus buy.

0:36:360:36:40

Now, I gave you Tim's Ton, I gave you the additional £100,

0:36:400:36:42

and this joker is what you came up with.

0:36:420:36:45

-Joker?!

-Why?

-Why?

0:36:450:36:47

We had £100 and I wanted something that's going to make a profit.

0:36:470:36:51

And overall, condition seems to be pretty good on this.

0:36:510:36:54

It's had a lot of wear on it, and you've got the points

0:36:540:36:57

at which it's sort of been rejigged on the neck.

0:36:570:36:59

OK, fine. So, it's in pretty good condition.

0:36:590:37:01

-Yeah.

-Yeah. I mean, when you think about it,

0:37:010:37:04

in terms of the skill base required

0:37:040:37:08

to take each of these pieces of wood,

0:37:080:37:10

it's pretty good, isn't it?

0:37:100:37:11

It is. The craftsmanship's great. You're warming to this one, aren't you, Tim?

0:37:110:37:14

Well, the problem is, I think I am.

0:37:140:37:16

Now, my next job, Colin,

0:37:160:37:18

is to predict which of the bonus buys that you've selected

0:37:180:37:22

are going to make the largest amount of profit

0:37:220:37:25

in proportion to the purchase price,

0:37:250:37:27

and my prediction, without a shadow of a doubt,

0:37:270:37:30

has to be the team's bonus buy, because, £20 paid -

0:37:300:37:35

it's not going to make a lot of profit, if it makes a profit at all,

0:37:350:37:38

but maybe £10 profit -

0:37:380:37:41

that is going to be, in proportion to the purchase price,

0:37:410:37:44

the likely candidate for my selection.

0:37:440:37:46

-To be honest with you, I think I'd be with you as well.

-OK.

0:37:460:37:49

But anyway, talking about playing,

0:37:490:37:51

I'm going to shove off right now to London to the Museum of Childhood.

0:37:510:37:56

Let's see what I can find.

0:37:560:37:58

I've come to the V&A's Museum of Childhood in London.

0:38:080:38:14

This incredible building was purpose-built as a museum

0:38:140:38:19

to serve and educate the local population,

0:38:190:38:23

a lot of whom were in desperate need and with only minimal schooling.

0:38:230:38:28

The museum gradually evolved over the years

0:38:290:38:32

from having general collections

0:38:320:38:34

to specialising in everything and anything connected with childhood.

0:38:340:38:38

Now, if you ask most little girls what their favourite toy is,

0:38:380:38:41

they'll say it is their doll,

0:38:410:38:44

and here at the Museum of Childhood

0:38:440:38:47

is the largest collection of dolls anywhere in the United Kingdom.

0:38:470:38:52

And apart from the hundreds of dolls that they have up here on display,

0:38:520:38:58

there are even more in store down below in the vaults,

0:38:580:39:02

and I've been lucky enough to be given permission

0:39:020:39:05

to go down and have a look at them.

0:39:050:39:07

If I flip open these drawers in the basement,

0:39:130:39:16

it's a bit like a Hammer horror film.

0:39:160:39:19

Look at this - assorted doll parts. Weird, aren't they?

0:39:190:39:23

But the oldest doll that they have in the museum

0:39:230:39:27

dates back to the Egyptians.

0:39:270:39:30

And here it is. It's something called a paddle doll,

0:39:300:39:33

and it was made about 4,000 years ago.

0:39:330:39:37

Egyptian women apparently treated these dolls as fertility symbols,

0:39:370:39:41

and when you were being interred after you died,

0:39:410:39:45

some of these dolls would be buried with you

0:39:450:39:48

to ensure that you were fertile in the afterlife.

0:39:480:39:52

But dolls through the years had been crafted

0:39:520:39:54

out of any number of materials -

0:39:540:39:56

basically, what the craftsman had lying around.

0:39:560:40:00

Another material used in the modelling of dolls' heads was wax,

0:40:000:40:05

especially in Germany, in the Munich area.

0:40:050:40:09

In this drawer, we've got heads made of natural-coloured wax,

0:40:090:40:14

like that fellow,

0:40:140:40:15

and also, wax that's been tinted to resemble flesh.

0:40:150:40:19

Then the wax heads are applied to a body,

0:40:190:40:23

and you might, at the end of the 18th century, finish up

0:40:230:40:26

with a small doll that looked like this.

0:40:260:40:29

Startled blue eyes planted into a wax head.

0:40:290:40:35

As far as British dolls are concerned,

0:40:360:40:39

the very best of those that date from the end of the 17th century

0:40:390:40:44

or early part of the 18th century

0:40:440:40:46

and the construction used in both their bodies and heads

0:40:460:40:51

is solid timber, shaped and then painted.

0:40:510:40:54

Stand by for Miss Havisham!

0:40:540:40:57

-HE CHORTLES

-Isn't she marvellous?

0:41:010:41:03

In terms of wooden-headed dolls,

0:41:030:41:07

this one dates from around about 1710 or 1720,

0:41:070:41:11

and she has a divine hairdo.

0:41:110:41:14

She has a high flush, touched up with rouge -

0:41:140:41:17

actually, a pot of red paint.

0:41:170:41:20

Her eyes are divine - large, oval, Indian, with deep black pupils.

0:41:200:41:27

And then the dress.

0:41:270:41:29

We've got loads of tulle and sequins and multicoloured beads

0:41:290:41:34

throughout her costume.

0:41:340:41:36

And the best bit of all is her stomacher,

0:41:360:41:39

which is a multifaceted aquamarine.

0:41:390:41:43

Probably a piece of blue glass. Gorgeous.

0:41:430:41:46

Cutting swiftly to the 19th century,

0:41:490:41:52

the most prolific period for the production of quality dolls,

0:41:520:41:56

we start in the 1830s to 1850s with porcelain-headed dolls.

0:41:560:42:02

It's a head and shoulders doll

0:42:020:42:05

made to be applied and sewn to a soft, padded torso

0:42:050:42:10

and then dressed.

0:42:100:42:12

Next to that, we have another variety of porcelain-headed doll

0:42:120:42:17

called bisque.

0:42:170:42:19

This is unglazed, but it's porcelain and fired to a high temperature.

0:42:190:42:24

For collectors, its features are that it's got sleepy eyes.

0:42:240:42:27

There you go, look. Its blue eyes close when you invert it.

0:42:270:42:32

Highly desirable.

0:42:320:42:34

And finally, as far as post-war dolls are concerned,

0:42:340:42:39

this is a classic.

0:42:390:42:41

She too has sleepy eyes, and enormous eyelashes -

0:42:410:42:45

applied with mascara, I fancy -

0:42:450:42:48

and made out of soft vinyl.

0:42:480:42:51

The big question for us now is,

0:42:510:42:53

which of our teams over at the auction is going to go soft first?

0:42:530:42:58

Well, this is fun - to be with Jeremy Lamond

0:43:080:43:10

at Halls Auction House in Shrewsbury.

0:43:100:43:12

Welcome, Tim.

0:43:120:43:13

Let's start out and do the silver sifting spoon.

0:43:130:43:15

Well, you can't go wrong with those.

0:43:150:43:17

It's in good condition. I have no doubt that will sell.

0:43:170:43:20

-At what price, though?

-£20 to £30.

0:43:200:43:22

-OK, £35 paid.

-Yeah.

0:43:220:43:24

So, they may have paid a tad too much.

0:43:240:43:26

Next is the classic - the silver-backed dressing table mirror.

0:43:260:43:30

Slightly more eclectic.

0:43:300:43:32

It will sell, but better, perhaps, with a set.

0:43:320:43:35

-I.e. the brushes and the pin box and all that?

-Yeah.

0:43:350:43:38

-£15 to £25.

-Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.

0:43:380:43:41

-£50 paid.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Ooh.

0:43:410:43:43

-It's a lot of money, isn't it?

-Mmm.

0:43:430:43:45

And last but by no means least is the perspex lavatory seat.

0:43:450:43:51

-JEREMY SIGHS

-Could do with some refurb, I'd say.

0:43:510:43:53

Yeah, I think so. I mean, who would sit musing on a pile of money?

0:43:530:43:56

It's the sort of wacky thing that, actually, the market might like.

0:43:560:43:59

Give us a pitch for your price as to what it will bring.

0:43:590:44:02

Well, I think it might make £30 or £40

0:44:020:44:06

to somebody who wants eternal giggling

0:44:060:44:08

in the smallest room in the house.

0:44:080:44:10

And a bit of kitsch. OK, why not? £30, they paid.

0:44:100:44:13

So, overall, they may just about be all right,

0:44:130:44:16

depending on what happens with the silver-backed mirror,

0:44:160:44:19

and if it all goes horribly wrong,

0:44:190:44:21

they'll need one or other of their bonus buys.

0:44:210:44:24

So, let's go and have a look at them.

0:44:240:44:26

Well, this is exciting, chaps, isn't it? Double bonus buys!

0:44:280:44:32

Anyway, the team's bonus buy first.

0:44:320:44:35

You gave Caroline £185 of leftover lolly.

0:44:350:44:38

Caroline, where is the team's bonus buy?

0:44:380:44:40

It's here. In my hand. It's a very small bonus buy.

0:44:400:44:45

But it's for my very own very sharp pair, "A Sharp Pair"...

0:44:450:44:51

ASH AND SAM EXCLAIM

0:44:510:44:53

..and it's this little pair of scissors...

0:44:530:44:55

-Oh!

-Very good!

-Thank you.

-..and a little miniature knife.

0:44:550:44:58

-I like that.

-How sweet!

0:44:580:45:01

-For our hairdressers!

-Yes!

0:45:010:45:03

Have a little handle of those, Sam, see what you think.

0:45:030:45:06

Oh, it feels all fragile.

0:45:060:45:07

So, made in the '50s, or the '30s, do you think?

0:45:070:45:09

Probably the '30s, I would think.

0:45:090:45:11

How much did this set you back?

0:45:110:45:13

I paid £10.

0:45:130:45:15

-Oh, did you?

-Yes.

-£10, hey?

0:45:150:45:17

And ask her how much she thinks it's worth.

0:45:170:45:19

-How much do you think it's worth?

-Possibly £15.

0:45:190:45:22

OK, fine. So, you could add a 50% mark-up to that particular snip.

0:45:220:45:28

Anyway, there we are. Very nice, Caroline.

0:45:280:45:30

That's the team's bonus buy.

0:45:300:45:32

But what does the auctioneer think about this team bonus buy?

0:45:320:45:36

"A Sharp Pair". There you go, Jay.

0:45:370:45:40

Yep. Well, there you are. A little pair of scissors, a little knife.

0:45:400:45:43

Can't go wrong with that. Quite legal. Short blade.

0:45:430:45:45

It's never going to be a lot of money, is it, really?

0:45:450:45:48

Well, it's the team's bonus buy.

0:45:480:45:49

Caroline had £185. She spent £10. Did she spend it wisely?

0:45:490:45:53

-£5 to £10.

-OK, £5 to £10 is your estimate. Fair enough.

0:45:530:45:57

Now, time to see what the Reds think about their Tim's Ton.

0:45:570:46:00

Now, Tim's Ton - you had the additional £100.

0:46:020:46:05

-I did.

-What did you spend it on, Caroline?

0:46:050:46:08

I spent it on this rather smart coffee table.

0:46:080:46:13

-Yeah, I like that.

-Yeah, I do too.

-Oh, do you?

-Very nice.

0:46:130:46:15

-I thought you might.

-Modern.

-Yeah, it's modern, yeah.

0:46:150:46:18

-It's got a hole in it! All right?

-THEY ALL LAUGH

0:46:180:46:20

-That's for a fact!

-Yes, yes!

-All right?

0:46:200:46:22

This is inspired by Henry Moore, is it?

0:46:220:46:24

Yes, I would think so, and it's from possibly the '70s, '80s.

0:46:240:46:29

-But I think that that would fit into any contemporary interior.

-Oh, yeah.

0:46:290:46:32

-You would have that in your home?

-I'd buy it, yeah.

0:46:320:46:35

What's it made of, Caroline?

0:46:350:46:36

-It's a resin base...

-Would that be plastic, then?

0:46:360:46:39

Another term for plastic, Tim, yes. Another term for plastic.

0:46:390:46:42

-"Resin" sounds better, doesn't it?

-"Resin" sounds better.

0:46:420:46:44

-So, how much did you pay for it?

-I spent the whole ton.

0:46:440:46:47

-Did you?

-£100.

-£100?

-Yeah.

0:46:470:46:49

How much do you think we could get for it?

0:46:490:46:51

-I think £120, £130.

-Cool.

0:46:510:46:54

OK, chaps.

0:46:540:46:55

Well, you don't pick now, but in a minute, you will have the choice -

0:46:550:46:58

if you want to - to take one or other of the bonus buys.

0:46:580:47:01

You don't have to take either. You can't have both.

0:47:010:47:04

But that'll be your pick, all right?

0:47:040:47:07

So, now, what does the auctioneer think about Tim's Ton?

0:47:070:47:10

And the Tim's Ton bonus buy is this fellow,

0:47:110:47:16

this rather handsome 1990s plastic occasional table.

0:47:160:47:19

That is a bit of kitsch and £50 to £80, I think.

0:47:190:47:23

-£100, she paid.

-Mmm.

0:47:230:47:25

-So she might be lucky with that.

-Yep.

0:47:250:47:26

Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.

0:47:260:47:29

And their first item is the fireman's helmets.

0:47:290:47:32

I'm not a fireman's helmet buff, if that's the right word,

0:47:320:47:35

but they can't be rare, can they, really?

0:47:350:47:37

£20 or £30?

0:47:370:47:39

OK. £70 paid. So, that is not so hot.

0:47:390:47:42

Next, we have the sextant in its case, and I don't know...

0:47:420:47:46

How do you get on with these marine instruments?

0:47:460:47:49

Well, they seem to sell well enough. You're looking at maybe £30 to £50.

0:47:490:47:53

£150 paid.

0:47:530:47:55

-So, that's a BIG problem.

-It might be.

0:47:550:47:57

And now the wool winder on stand.

0:47:570:48:00

I just don't think it's very old, Tim. I mean, what do you do with it?

0:48:000:48:03

-Oh, just £20 or £30.

-£60 paid.

0:48:030:48:06

So, we have a disaster with the sextant,

0:48:060:48:08

not so hot with the wool winder,

0:48:080:48:10

in which case, they're certainly going to need their bonus buys.

0:48:100:48:13

So let's go and have a look.

0:48:130:48:16

Now, Jess, Colleen, this is exciting, isn't it?

0:48:160:48:18

-Ooh!

-Ooh!

0:48:180:48:19

You only spent £280, which is really good,

0:48:190:48:22

and you gave Colin £20 of leftover lolly,

0:48:220:48:24

so, Colin, for the team's bonus buy, what did you buy?

0:48:240:48:27

I thought I'd spend all of it on that little thing.

0:48:270:48:29

-You like that, don't you?

-No.

0:48:290:48:31

-No?!

-It's awful.

0:48:310:48:33

No?! No?!

0:48:330:48:35

You only gave me 20 quid! What are you complaining about?

0:48:350:48:37

-Is it something of a collector's jobbie, is it?

-No.

0:48:370:48:40

It's a bit of a copy of something a bit older, but it's a bit newer.

0:48:400:48:44

-Do you like it?

-It's not whether you like it or not.

0:48:440:48:46

It's, are we going to make some money?

0:48:460:48:49

-Ships(!)

-Don't worry. Don't worry.

0:48:490:48:51

-Bless you!

-You don't have to like it.

0:48:510:48:53

How much do you reckon?

0:48:530:48:55

I think you've got to at least make 50% on that.

0:48:550:48:57

-Do you think?

-Yep.

-OK, fine.

0:48:570:48:59

Well, that's the team's bonus buy. That's one of your picks.

0:48:590:49:02

But what does the auctioneer think about the Blues' team bonus buy?

0:49:020:49:05

So, Jay, one beaker-form vase.

0:49:070:49:10

Yep. Continental soda glass. Santa Maria.

0:49:100:49:13

A bit of fun. £20 or £30.

0:49:130:49:16

-£20 paid.

-Yep. That's enough.

0:49:160:49:17

Frankly, Colin only had £20 of leftover lolly.

0:49:170:49:20

-So it's a reasonable buy, isn't it?

-It is.

0:49:200:49:22

If the team decide to go with that bonus buy.

0:49:220:49:25

Time to see what the Blues make of their Tim's Ton.

0:49:250:49:28

In this special program, girls, you also have Tim's Ton,

0:49:290:49:32

the extra £100 which Colin has gone off to find something splendid,

0:49:320:49:37

and, Colin, what have you got?

0:49:370:49:38

Well, this time round,

0:49:380:49:40

something that was going to strike a chord with you.

0:49:400:49:42

-Oh! I like that.

-That's a bit better. I don't mind that one.

0:49:420:49:45

-Are we getting a bit better now?

-Yeah.

-I like that, yes.

-OK.

0:49:450:49:48

-Look at the back of it as well.

-That's more us.

0:49:480:49:51

-What, you mean classy?

-Classy.

-Very classy.

-Exactly.

0:49:510:49:54

That's not me. That's more me - tacky.

0:49:540:49:56

Oh, darling, don't be like that and put yourself down!

0:49:560:49:58

This is Colleen, this is me.

0:49:580:50:00

This time round, I've spent £60.

0:50:000:50:02

-What's it called?

-It's actually a mandolin.

-It is lovely.

0:50:020:50:05

How much profit do you think it'll bring, though?

0:50:050:50:07

I think it's going to be a sure profit again.

0:50:070:50:09

-Might make you £20 or £30.

-Right.

-OK.

0:50:090:50:10

Well, you watched his lips. You just have to think about it.

0:50:100:50:13

Cos you don't pick now, you pick after the sale of your last item.

0:50:130:50:15

Now, what does the auctioneer think about the Blues' Tim's Ton?

0:50:150:50:19

A Dunn & Davidson Edinburgh resaled mandolin.

0:50:210:50:25

This has obviously been well thumbed.

0:50:250:50:27

And they seem to sell consistently, these, but not particularly rare.

0:50:270:50:30

-£30 to £50, we think.

-£60 was paid.

0:50:300:50:33

-Well, it's going to struggle.

-It's going to struggle?

0:50:330:50:36

-At £60.

-HE PLAYS A NOTE

0:50:360:50:39

Seems to have struck the wrong note here.

0:50:390:50:40

Thank you, Jeremy.

0:50:400:50:42

£28. £30.

0:50:450:50:47

Now, Ash, Sam, how are you feeling?

0:50:490:50:51

-Excited.

-Relaxed?

-No.

-No? What's the matter, Ash?

0:50:510:50:54

-The tension is high.

-But you're pretty happy all round, are you?

0:50:540:50:57

-Oh, yeah.

-Yeah? OK, fine.

0:50:570:50:58

Got the fiddle-pattern ladle, which you paid £35 for.

0:50:580:51:02

The silver sifter ladle. Always useful. £15.

0:51:020:51:07

It is silver at £15. £15 bid. At £15.

0:51:070:51:10

£18. Yes? £20.

0:51:100:51:12

£22. £22 at the very back. At £22 now.

0:51:120:51:16

Back right at £22. Who else?

0:51:160:51:18

£25. He's back. At £25. It's in front now.

0:51:180:51:21

I'll take £1 more. At £25.

0:51:210:51:23

All done at £25?

0:51:230:51:25

£25 is minus £10. I can't believe it.

0:51:250:51:28

That has to be the cheapest silver this side of Newcastle.

0:51:280:51:31

OK. Now, silver hand mirror.

0:51:310:51:34

The Edwardian Art-Nouveau silver hand mirror.

0:51:340:51:36

What about that one there at £15 for it?

0:51:360:51:40

-£15?!

-£15 for the hand mirror? £15.

-FIFTEEN pounds!

0:51:400:51:43

£15? £15.

0:51:430:51:44

£18. Yes, £20.

0:51:440:51:46

£22. £25. £25.

0:51:460:51:49

Where's the internet bidders? Come on.

0:51:490:51:51

All done, then? At £25? Anybody else at £25?

0:51:510:51:54

Is minus £25, which is minus £35.

0:51:540:51:57

This lavatory seat's got to do it for you.

0:51:570:51:59

A novelty toilet seat here.

0:51:590:52:02

£30. £30.

0:52:020:52:05

-£30?

-Come on.

0:52:050:52:06

£20? £20, I've got.

0:52:060:52:08

At £20. At £20. Who's going to go two?

0:52:080:52:11

£20. Here. At £20. You're going to get it.

0:52:110:52:14

At £20. Nobody else? Quite sure?

0:52:140:52:16

-He's going to flush it away for £20.

-That was a bargain.

0:52:160:52:19

-£20 is minus £10...

-I would have paid more for that.

0:52:190:52:21

-..is minus £45, chaps.

-There's probably more in the actual seat.

0:52:210:52:24

OK, chaps, you have to decide.

0:52:240:52:26

Are you going to go with the miniature scissors

0:52:260:52:28

or are you going to go with the little coffee table?

0:52:280:52:31

-Probably thinking the scissors.

-Are you?

0:52:310:52:33

You don't have to go with either.

0:52:330:52:35

We're not in a profit, so I think go with the scissors.

0:52:350:52:37

Very good. So, we're going to go with the bonus buy -

0:52:370:52:40

the team's bonus buy, which cost £10.

0:52:400:52:42

The sharp pair of scissors in the little pocket travelling case.

0:52:420:52:46

What about those? And the little penknife there.

0:52:460:52:48

£5 for them.

0:52:480:52:49

-£5, I've got on the internet.

-Come on. Yes.

0:52:490:52:52

£6 if you like. £6.

0:52:520:52:53

At £6. I'll take £7 if you like, internet.

0:52:530:52:56

At £6. The bid is in the room at £6.

0:52:560:53:00

-All finished, then, at £6?

-Oh, come on!

0:53:000:53:02

Oh, dear, oh, dear. £6 is minus £4.

0:53:050:53:08

Which means overall, you are minus £49.

0:53:080:53:11

Now, you didn't go with Tim's Ton, you didn't go with the £100 table,

0:53:110:53:15

but we're going to sell it anyway, and here it comes.

0:53:150:53:18

Who'll start me at £30? £30 for it? £30.

0:53:180:53:21

-Where's £30? £30?

-< Oh, dear.

0:53:210:53:24

Start me at £20. £20.

0:53:240:53:26

-What a bargain. I'd pay...£20.

-£20.

-Come on!

-£20.

0:53:260:53:30

£10 only?

0:53:300:53:32

Oh, dear! I'm sorry. I've wasted Tim's Ton!

0:53:320:53:35

-£10. I'll take £12 if you like.

-Sorry, Tim.

0:53:350:53:37

At £10 only, and selling. The egg will not hatch?

0:53:370:53:40

-OK, £10 is minus £90.

-£10 for a table!

-I would have that.

0:53:420:53:45

So, listen. You did well, chaps.

0:53:450:53:47

You took the right reading from this sale room

0:53:470:53:50

and decided that you were not going to go with the modernist.

0:53:500:53:53

Anyway, there we are.

0:53:530:53:54

It was minus £4 on your bonus buy, the team's bonus buy,

0:53:540:53:56

which means overall, you're minus £49,

0:53:560:53:58

which could easily be a winning score, so let's be positive.

0:53:580:54:01

-Oh, really?

-Let's be upbeat.

0:54:010:54:02

-Let's hope so!

-Well, it could be, couldn't it?

0:54:020:54:05

£28. £30.

0:54:050:54:07

Now, brace up. Do you know how the Reds got on?

0:54:130:54:16

-Not a clue.

-No.

-Nope. We don't want you to.

0:54:160:54:18

Now, you went with the two fireman's helmets,

0:54:180:54:20

you paid £70, and here they come.

0:54:200:54:22

Two fireman's helmets. Here they are.

0:54:220:54:24

So, who's going to start me?

0:54:240:54:26

Two fireman's helmets. Start me at £20.

0:54:260:54:27

-Nobody's bid anything yet.

-£20 for these.

0:54:270:54:29

-£20 bid left, then.

-Oooh!

-At £20.

0:54:290:54:32

£22. £25. £28.

0:54:320:54:34

£30. £32. £35.

0:54:340:54:36

-They like it!

-How much?

0:54:360:54:38

Back left, then, at £35 for the fireman's helmets.

0:54:380:54:41

At £35. Selling them at £35.

0:54:410:54:43

Quite sure?

0:54:430:54:45

£35 is minus £35. Bad luck, girls.

0:54:450:54:50

-Was it really?

-Now, sextant.

0:54:500:54:51

Yeah, you paid £70, sweet pea.

0:54:510:54:53

The lacquer brass sextant here. I am bid already £30.

0:54:530:54:57

At £30. At £30.

0:54:570:54:59

Five. £40. Yes, five. £50.

0:54:590:55:02

-Five. £60.

-(That's not bad. That's not bad.)

0:55:020:55:04

With me at £60.

0:55:040:55:05

-£60.

-Another £100?

-On commission at £60.

0:55:050:55:08

£65 on the internet. Commission's out.

0:55:080:55:10

At £65. It's an internet bid now.

0:55:100:55:12

-At £65. Anybody else?

-Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.

0:55:120:55:15

Selling. £65.

0:55:150:55:17

£65 is five off £70, right? That's 50, that's 85. Minus £85.

0:55:170:55:23

The stained beech wool winder on stand.

0:55:230:55:25

I'm bid £20 already. At £20.

0:55:250:55:27

It should be popular around here.

0:55:270:55:29

-All those sheep.

-We're in the right region.

0:55:290:55:31

£20, it is. £22. £25. At £25.

0:55:310:55:34

At £25. All finished, then?

0:55:340:55:36

-At £25. Selling it at £25.

-Is it...?

0:55:360:55:39

-At least someone wants it.

-£25!

0:55:390:55:43

That's five off 30, that's minus £35,

0:55:430:55:45

which means overall, you're minus £155, girls.

0:55:450:55:48

-Yes(!)

-But we sold them all!

0:55:480:55:50

-I know.

-Sold!

-It was marvellous, wasn't it?

0:55:500:55:53

But let's try and win some back now, shall we, off these bonus buys?

0:55:530:55:55

What about the Continental beaker? Do you fancy that?

0:55:550:55:58

-Oh, that lovely vase?

-Or the mandolin? Or neither?

0:55:580:56:01

The "Continental beaker"?

0:56:010:56:03

That gorgeous vase with those lovely sailing boats going round it.

0:56:030:56:05

-The one that you said was so naff.

-Disgusting.

-That's the one.

0:56:050:56:08

-Go on, go for the vase.

-Naff will go?

-Yeah.

-Naff will go.

0:56:080:56:10

-Naff is nice?

-Naff is good.

-Naff is going to...

0:56:100:56:12

-Naff is nice?

-We're desperate.

-OK.

0:56:120:56:14

-We've only got to make how much?

-£155 plus the cost of the naff.

0:56:140:56:18

-Easy.

-I reckon.

-Perfect.

0:56:180:56:19

The Santa Maria Continental soda glass vase.

0:56:190:56:22

Who's going to start me at a nice, low £10?

0:56:220:56:25

-£10.

-Go on!

-Where's £10?

0:56:250:56:27

£10. It's sailing. At £10 now. At £10.

0:56:270:56:30

Give me £12, somebody? At £10, then.

0:56:300:56:33

-£10.

-At £10.

0:56:330:56:34

£12. £15.

0:56:340:56:36

One more? No?

0:56:360:56:37

All done at £15?

0:56:370:56:39

-Minus £5...

-Yes!

-..is minus £160, you are, kids.

0:56:400:56:44

Let's see what happens with the mandolin, eh?

0:56:440:56:46

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

0:56:460:56:47

£20 is bid. At £20 now. At £20.

0:56:470:56:49

Where's two? At £20, back left there.

0:56:490:56:51

£20. £22.

0:56:510:56:53

£25. £28. £30.

0:56:530:56:56

-£32.

-That'll do. Stop.

-£32, left, then.

0:56:560:56:59

At £32. £32. At £32 on my left.

0:56:590:57:01

-JEREMY SIGHS

-£35 on the internet.

0:57:010:57:03

The internet bidder, then. I'm selling at £35.

0:57:030:57:06

-You did about as well as us.

-Minus £25.

0:57:070:57:09

OK. That's it, then, kids. Your overall score is minus £160.

0:57:090:57:13

It might be a winning score, so say nothing to the Reds, all right?

0:57:130:57:16

-I don't think it's going to win.

-Mmm.

-Hey. Let's have fun, eh?

0:57:160:57:20

-Thanks, kids.

-Thank you.

0:57:200:57:22

Well, well, well. Been having a chat, have we?

0:57:310:57:33

-You friendly...snippers?

-No.

-Snippers and permers?

0:57:330:57:37

OK, fine. Well, it's no secret there is no profit for either team today.

0:57:370:57:42

In fact, it's a question for one team of monumental losses,

0:57:420:57:45

and that team just happened to be the Blues.

0:57:450:57:47

Girls, it was not running down your gutter today, was it?

0:57:470:57:50

-No.

-No.

-It wasn't.

0:57:500:57:52

All I can say is that as far as the bonus buys were concerned,

0:57:520:57:56

-you picked the one that made the least loss...

-Yes. That was good.

0:57:560:57:59

We picked the same one, so we picked the right one,

0:57:590:58:02

even though it didn't make a profit.

0:58:020:58:04

-Does that make sense?

-Yeah.

0:58:040:58:05

-Have you had a nice time?

-Yeah. Yeah, it's been great.

-It's good.

0:58:050:58:08

We've loved having you.

0:58:080:58:10

Now, for the Reds, the boys, they're going to go home with victory

0:58:100:58:13

by only managing to lose £49.

0:58:130:58:16

-That's not bad, is it?

-Which is not so bad, is it?

0:58:160:58:18

I have to say that, Caroline, as far as the bonus buys were concerned,

0:58:180:58:21
