0:00:06 > 0:00:11This special comes to you today from the Lincolnshire Showground.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14"What's so special about it?" I hear you cry.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Well, for your additional viewing pleasure,
0:00:17 > 0:00:22we present one whole hour of unalloyed antique action.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26So... Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:26 > 0:00:28HE LAUGHS
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Boy, do we have a wheelie, wheelie good show for you today.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59In this one-hour special,
0:00:59 > 0:01:03we have a team of bikers taking on a team of cyclists.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Our two-wheeled warriors will be leaving
0:01:05 > 0:01:08the comfort of their saddle to do battle around the stalls.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12We have tweaked the rules a tad,
0:01:12 > 0:01:13but never fear,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I'll fill you in on that a bit later on. But right now,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18let's have 125 see-see
0:01:18 > 0:01:20as to what is coming up.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25On today's show, the Reds are less than impressed.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26It's awful!
0:01:26 > 0:01:28I wouldn't give it house room. It's junk.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31And there is plenty of banter with the Blues.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Paul! Paul.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Let's see what he thinks.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- It's just a... No.- No.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- He can tell from that far away how bad it was.- Yeah.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49So, on Bargain Hunt today, it is horsepower versus pedal power.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52And for the Reds, we have got Marie and Trish.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And for the Blues, we have got Steve and John. Hello, everyone.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- ALL: Hello. - Hello.- Hello.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Now, Marie, it was your love of motorbikes that got you two girls
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- together. - Yes, we met at a chapter night,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05a chapter night being our meeting night for Harley-Davidson,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08and it was Trish's first time there.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- And I knew she was trouble from the start.- Did you?- Absolutely.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14So you thought, "She's going to be my mate, this girl,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16"if she's trouble."
0:02:16 > 0:02:19And how did your interest in motor bicycles start?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Well, my brother, when I was smaller, he had a motorbike.- Oh, yeah?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26And then when I met my husband to be, he had a motorbike. And we...
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- Got together.- Yes.- Exactly.- Yes. - You learned how to get on the back.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- Oh, easily, yes.- Did you?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Cos there's quite a skill to ride pillion, isn't there?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- No.- Is there not?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Not at all.- Don't you have to lean the right way?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- You just go with it. - Don't think about it at all.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- No, you just go with it. - Ever try driving it yourself, Marie?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- I had it go on a rolling road once. - What does that mean?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- They have a bike stationary on a rolling...- Oh, I see.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- And went to pieces.- Did you?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- So you thought, "The pillion is the place for me."- Yes.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Provide additional comfort.- Yes.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Now, this riding of motor bicycles can be quite romantic,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04can't it, Trish?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Yeah, it can be. Yeah, I was proposed to on the back of a bike.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08- You weren't!- I was.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12He shouted it over his shoulder many years ago and I said no,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14because I didn't quite understand what he said.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16And then when we got off, he'd got a face on him
0:03:16 > 0:03:19and I thought, "Oh, dear, that didn't go down well.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20- "I don't know what I have done." - Yes.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23And I thought about it all day at work and it suddenly dawned on me.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26So when I came out of work, I said to him,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28you know, "Is that question that you asked me...
0:03:28 > 0:03:31"Is the offer still on the table?" He said, "It might be."
0:03:31 > 0:03:34So I said, "If it is, the answer is yes."
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- How lovely.- We've been married for nearly 30 years.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38You'll have to tell him to take his helmet off first,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- that's the thing.- Yes. - Anyway, good luck, girls.- Thank you.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Right. Now, you know you are up against, chaps.- BOTH: Yep.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- You are mad about bikes, aren't you, Steve?- That's right.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Well, I am the British cycling coach for Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52So it is a dream job, really.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54So you are scouting for the next wave of British cyclists.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Yeah, yeah. We have already had quite a bit of success getting children -
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- boys and girls - into the sport. - Good for you.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04So, John, you used to be a primary school teacher and,
0:04:04 > 0:04:06since meeting Steve, you have had a career change.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Probably in no small measure because of Steve, actually.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11I was very impressed with what he did.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14The organisation that I work for now
0:04:14 > 0:04:17are principally known for operating the National Cycle Network.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19They work with schools, communities.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21And so when I was asked to go to work in all the schools, that is
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- what I ended up doing now. - Why are you known as Dr Bike, then?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Because part of what we do in schools is to try
0:04:27 > 0:04:31to encourage as many children to attend school as they can on a bike,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33and the first step towards that is to make sure there is as many
0:04:33 > 0:04:35working bikes as possible.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37So I do a session, usually two or three times a year in each
0:04:37 > 0:04:39school I go in, and I fix all the poorly bikes.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Because I'm going in to fix poorly bikes, I've got...
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- It soon becomes...- Dr Bike.- Yeah.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Why do they call you Bike Fairy, then?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52That is another alter ego that I am possibly not quite so proud of.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Once we have got them interested in cycling,
0:04:54 > 0:04:55we want them to keep cycling.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58So what we do is we try and...basically, we bribe them.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02We put incentives into place. One of those incentives it that
0:05:02 > 0:05:04if there bicycle happens to be at school that day,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07the bike fairy might flutter down and leave them a prize.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Ah!
0:05:08 > 0:05:09To make that a little bit more real,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12occasionally there are visits from the bike fairy,
0:05:12 > 0:05:14in his Lycra and his tutu.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16LAUGHTER
0:05:16 > 0:05:20You have no pride, therefore, when it comes to these things.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- You will stoop to any depth. - Any trick to get a kid on a bike.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Exactly.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26What a wonderful story, anyway. It sounds fantastic.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29And good on you, chaps. Here we go with the money moment.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Well done, teams. Here is your £300. £300 apiece.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35You know the rules, your experts await. And off you go!
0:05:35 > 0:05:39And very, very, very good luck. Or as they say, on your bike.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43So, what about today's experts? For the Reds,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45it is the one and only...
0:05:48 > 0:05:52And hoping to spot something meteorite for the Blues, it's...
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Good morning. How are you? - Hi.- Hello.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59The hour is about to start.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02John, Steve, you guys have got to be competitive by nature, surely.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I am more competitive than him.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Let's not compete about who is the most competitive, OK?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Marie, what is the plan today?- Lots of silvery things, probably.- Yes.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Small things.- Yes. - And anything under £50.
0:06:13 > 0:06:19- Look, this is our tour de...antiques.- Yes.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22We are going to get on our bikes, that is what we are going to do.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23- Awesome.- Come on, let's do that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Yeah, let's go!
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34TYRES SCREECHING
0:06:34 > 0:06:36If you see things which smile at you,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39which talk to you, go over and have a look at them.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Right, OK.- OK.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Come on, Steven.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- These are Carlton Ware. - Oh, are they?- Salt and pepper.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50They are not marked,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53but almost certainly salt and peppers in the form of an apple.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Yes.- Condition is very important when it comes to collectibles.- Yes.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Because, Trish, what is an antique?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Something that is older than Marie.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Steady, Trish.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Antique, by definition, needs to be 100 years old.- Oh, OK.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Well, maybe not, sorry.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Girls, you are meant to be on the same team.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14What about the yoke, mate?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Thinking about farming communities and stuff like that.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18We know what it is, but...
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Look at that.- Put it over your neck.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Ugh! I am just a workhorse, aren't I?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28All right, John, don't milk it, mate.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29What do you reckon?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I get the whole rustic, the whole farmhouse and pub decoration thing.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Apart from that... - There is not a market, is there?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Thanks very much. - Thank you very much.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40A bit of a false start, then, for the Blues. Stick with it, fellas.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Time to check in with our Carlos.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46So, when you ride the bike, is it a big bike that you ride?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Oh, yeah, it is a 1600 cc.- Do you have, like, flags on the back of it?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52We do when we go out for a chapter ride, yes.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- You aren't Hell's Angels, are you? - No, we're not.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Hm, maybe not Hell's Angels, hey, Charlie?
0:07:57 > 0:08:01MUSIC: Charlie's Angels Theme
0:08:02 > 0:08:04'Once upon a time,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07'there were two girls who arrived at an antiques fair.
0:08:07 > 0:08:13'They were assigned £300 in which to find three unique items.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15'Only one man could help them in their quest,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17'and now he works for them.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19'His name is Charlie.'
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Now, where was I? Oh, yes, back with the Blues.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26My mum used to have some Chinese carvings.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Those are priests, those guys, with their prayer beads.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32And there is a crack in one. I like them. Look at the sockets.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Anything Chinese, you go, "Seriously,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37"did it just come over the water in a container
0:08:37 > 0:08:39"or has it got some age?"
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Da, da, da! 1930s.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Do you reckon?- Of the period. And a pair...
0:08:45 > 0:08:49They're worth 80 quid, 120 quid.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- That is what they'll sell for? - Yeah. Do you like...?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I mean, are they hideous to you? Do you like them?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- What about the damage, though?- Yes.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58There is a crack there, filled, in that one.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03That is common. A shrinkage crack over 80 years we'll forgive.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Is that the kind of thing there is a niche for, then?- There is, yeah.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09A good decorator's... A pair, believe me, a pair - uncommon.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12It's the price... Who are we dealing with here?
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Who deals with this table?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Cos I know you're a bit territorial in here.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- How can we help you?- Pair of lamps.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21That pair of lamps there. They are very, very, very cheap. Very cheap.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23The pair are £25.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Seriously, just do what you've got to do.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Just do what you've got to do.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- This will win the show for you, trust me.- Do you know what...
0:09:30 > 0:09:31OK, there you go.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34These beads work, I tell you, because I'm loving it.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Enjoy and win the show, OK?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Well done for those ten minutes in and one item down.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41But the Reds could be closing in.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- How about that, Trish? - I quite like that.- Marie?- Oh.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- What do you think?- That's sweet. - That's nice.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I don't know whether you are chintzy girls.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- I like that.- Why?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57It is just appealing to me.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Look at the transfer of the flowers, it's almost quite... I don't now.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- It's quite pretty.- Yes. - Wacky, isn't it?- Yeah.- What is it?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Well, it's a condiment.- Exactly. - No spoon.- That doesn't matter.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11You could easily find a mustard spoon to go in there.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- A bit of flower power, girls? - Yeah, absolutely.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Your era, flower power, the '60s. - CHUCKLING:- Yeah.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18What is the metal?
0:10:18 > 0:10:23Is electroplate nickel silver, because it says so there - EPNS, OK?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25There we go. I know a few things.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- But I like it because it is quite angular.- Yes.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30And also, dare I say it,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- it has, like you two, style. - Oh, wow.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Smooth, Carlos, very smooth.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- Good spotting. - What was it worth?- £12.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- You saw the price, didn't you? - That's cheating!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- Shall we go for that one? - Yeah, absolutely.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Do you want to make an offer?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- What's your best price on this, please?- Ten.- Ten pounds?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- BOTH: Yeah.- There is a little mustard spoon here if you wanted to.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Oh, is there?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Well, we need a mustard spoon. - There you go.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Oh, perfect!- Oh, that would fit, lovely.- Put it in there.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01You've got a nice fit.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- It was ten pounds, it would now cost?- £12.- Look at me...
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- It would now cost?- Ten and two. - Ten pound plus two.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- Yes.- Happy?- Yes, happy. - It's a marriage?- Yes, it is.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Made in heaven.- We'll take it all. - Thank you very much. Lovely.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- £12.- Thank you.- Nice job.- Thank you. - Excellent, we're off and running!
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- I like your style.- Thank you.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Well done, Reds. The girls are cruising now.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Both teams have one apiece and are 20 minutes into their shop.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Meanwhile, the Blues are reminiscing over
0:11:33 > 0:11:35a mid-20th-century film projector.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Years and years ago, we had one at my grandad's.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38You just had to wind it.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41You used to plug it into the lamp, the bayonet.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Everyone I have ever seen it's chewed the film up.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45That's why they stopped making them.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47That's why video games...
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Not like today's technology.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Oh, hang on, the Reds have spotted something familiar.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Oh, look at this. - Petrol tanks, yeah.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02So you'd sit there, wouldn't you, like that, riding, is that right?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Yes.- And you'd be on the back here, holding like that?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- No, we don't hold.- It's not cool to hold.- Not on Harley's.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Charles, you are so uncool.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Do you fancy buying a bit of memorabilia of a Harley nature,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- then?- No.- No.- OK, leave you to it.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Thanks. Just trying to give you a little, you know...
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Oh, it is a tank-less job sometimes, eh, Charles?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Meanwhile, Paul had stumbled across a different type of tank.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29There is a problem with this, but I like it straightaway.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31What, the problem is that it is split and it will leak?
0:12:31 > 0:12:36No, the problem is this hoop here is missing. So the foot is gone.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38But what do we have left?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41We've got a tankard, a novel tankard,
0:12:41 > 0:12:45modelled as a staved barrel,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48silver hoops and handle. Lovely set of assay marks.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Looks like Mappin & Webb made it.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Were they not silversmiths to the Queen at one point?
0:12:54 > 0:12:55They had the Royal Warrant, didn't they?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I thought you didn't know anything about antiques.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Yeah, John.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I remember that from a Guinness Book Of Records in the 1970s,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04and they made a golden bikini for some young lady.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06That's the only reason I can remember that.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Naughty.
0:13:07 > 0:13:091920s.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Steve.- I like it.- Even with cracks and bits missing?- Yeah.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17It has got to be worth 30 to 50 quid, hasn't it? All day long.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18I'd like a pint out of that.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I tell you what, ask me what I think it would be worth
0:13:20 > 0:13:22if it was all there.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25What do you think it would be worth if it was all there?
0:13:25 > 0:13:26150 quid.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- All day long.- Do you reckon? - Yeah. All day long.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Hey, you boys are good.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Anthony!
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Oh, hello, it's our fellow with the beads again.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I can't better the previous one.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43It is a fabulous price, and I know there's a part missing
0:13:43 > 0:13:44- from the bottom...- There is.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- ..but just take it when I tell you the price.- Go on.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48£40.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51The law of errors, you've looked after us before.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Yeah, and I think I am looking after you now, very much so.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Never...- Can I tell you, if it had a bottom on it,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57it would be £150.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- That's what we just said!- He just said that very same sentence.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02And I know nothing about this stuff.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07- See, I'm just guessing. OK? - Thanks once again, sir.- Thank you.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09We're going to wear your hand out at this rate.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Crikey, are these chaps ever going to venture away from this store?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15You do know there is a whole fair out there, don't you?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Now, how are Charlie and his angels getting on?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Ladies.- Yes!- This is a big one.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22It certainly is, Charles.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24I like that.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Excuse me, sir, how much is this?
0:14:26 > 0:14:27- Ten pounds.- Ten pounds.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Do you know what, I love it because you have got this
0:14:30 > 0:14:34sort of format of a cathedral and it is what you call
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Staffordshire pottery mantelpiece pocket watch holder.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42Just hold it there because, Trish, back in the heyday of 1870,
0:14:42 > 0:14:45a gentleman would come home from work in middleclass England,
0:14:45 > 0:14:49you'd take your pocket watch off your fob and then put it
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- just behind here, where it would sit maybe on a mantelpiece.- OK.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- I haven't seen a bigger one before of this type.- OK.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00So to me, it is quite rare.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02You have got a big crack across here.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05You know, I am an old-fashioned guy here.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09And, Trish, don't forgot, it is a true antique. Which is...?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Over 100 years old.- Yeah.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15And to me, for a tenner, it is a guaranteed profit.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Are you sure? What would it make?
0:15:17 > 0:15:21I'll be very disappointed if it doesn't make £35 to £45.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- What do you think? - I think we should go for it.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I'll trust you, and we'll go for it.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Yeah?- Get on then.- I really rate it. - If you really rate it, Charles...
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I have to say, if you rate it, then great.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- I would personally have walked past it.- Sold?- Sold.- Yeah.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Sir, we will take it. Thanks a lot.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42I'm not sure if the girls are with you on this one, Charlie boy. Psst!
0:15:42 > 0:15:43So, girls, what are your thoughts?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- It's awful! - I wouldn't give it house room.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- It is cracked to pieces. - It's junk.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- Yeah.- I think they are really quite impressed.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57I think they can see I am a discerning expert who likes
0:15:57 > 0:16:00traditional antiques. And I think they're quite impressed.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Are you sure about that?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03It's a typical ju...
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- But if it makes a profit, then hey-hey.- Exactly.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Cos if it doesn't...- We are coming after him.- Yeah, we are.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12One more thing to find.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14The chintzy stand is just a little runner,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16but hopefully now the big one is coming up,
0:16:16 > 0:16:20the big find to really impress the girls with some glamour.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Well, time to pull something out of the old bag, Charles.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Maybe some reputation and a touch of dignity.
0:16:26 > 0:16:2940 minutes in and two apiece for our teams,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31a perfect time for me to motor off.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36How do you fancy a bit of automobilia?
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Well, if you do, you might fancy this. What is it?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Well, it kind of says it on the face.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Because we have got two scales here.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49The one on the left says pounds per tonne
0:16:49 > 0:16:54and the one on the right says gradient one in.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59And if I tilt it one way, it acts as an inclinometer
0:16:59 > 0:17:00and you see a change in reading.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03And if I tip it the other way, ditto.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08All of that happens in an instrument that is precision made.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13The bezel itself is bright chromium plated and we have got two
0:17:13 > 0:17:16little holes here, look, with a square bit in the middle.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18And glory be to God,
0:17:18 > 0:17:22this thing still has the original key attached to a piece
0:17:22 > 0:17:24of string that you put into those holes
0:17:24 > 0:17:29so that you can recalibrate each of the gauges as necessary.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33And it was used for assessing the performance of your motorcar
0:17:33 > 0:17:37because the left-hand scale represents pulling power.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Depending on the gradient that you were going up or down,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44you could assess the pulling power of your car
0:17:44 > 0:17:49and whether it was running efficiently and effectively or not.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54What did it cost? Well, off a stall, it could be yours for £40.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56That has to be cheap.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01I reckon this thing in the correct automobile section of a sale
0:18:01 > 0:18:05could realise as much as £250 to £400.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Now, that is what you call pulling power.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Back to the fair. And it is horsepower versus pedal power.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17The teams have 15 minutes left and one item each to find.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Hold on, the Blues haven't even left that tent yet.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23You're having a right rummage, Steve, aren't you?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I just look up and you're...
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Where is Paul? I need to get his opinion on it.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Paul! Paul!
0:18:31 > 0:18:36- What do you think of this? - Just that? No.- No.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39See, he could tell from that far away how bad it was.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41So, the Blues are struggling a bit.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45And with only ten minutes to go, the Reds need to get motoring, too.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Oh, look at that!
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Oh, look at that! - We've got to get going.- Come on!
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Get on the back.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56# Get your motor running. #
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- Sit on the back?- Come on.- Hold on, I think three is a crowd here.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Hold on. I can't get moving anywhere. It is 450, this bike.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- How much?- 450.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- £4.50?- £450.- Get off it quick.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13# Born to be wild! #
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Maybe you're born to be mild, hey, Charlie?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20So, our cyclists have finally left the tent.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Come on, lads, one item to go.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- An accordion. Awesome!- Look at that.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I want it.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- That is just a thing of beauty, isn't it?- You like it seriously?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Are you being...?- I'm the guy who's got a jukebox at home.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39I get the aesthetic then.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Um...- But you are never, ever going to sell that.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46It is worth 40 on a bad day, 80 on a good day.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Ask what the price is. If the price is 20 or 30 quid,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52you're going to go, "Well, seriously?"
0:19:55 > 0:19:58HE PLAYS THE ACCORDION
0:19:58 > 0:19:59I think you are probably
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- more than half the way there. - I'm in love.- You're in love?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- You have got a problem, you do know that, don't you?- Yeah. Yeah.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Ask the price.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Can you not spend any money with anybody else?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12No, I don't mind.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16This thing of...possibly debatable beauty.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21This here, you can have it for £65.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Oooh...
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- How much do you love it now? - What are you thinking? Come on.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- How about 50? - Where have you gone on it?- 50.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33More generous than me, but that is an offer.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Is that an offer?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Can he retract it? You can't, that's bad manners.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I think it is 40 quid's worth to be honest with you.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- There are clearly issues with it. - I tell you what you are going to do.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46I am going to be very, very nice here and I'm going to say,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49stand on Paul's advice and you can take it for £40.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Great. OK, you can let go now.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Awkward or what?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Have we just bought that for £40?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- What I do want you to do, when you win...- Yeah.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- I want a share.- Absolutely.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02PAUL LAUGHS
0:21:02 > 0:21:05You could have done a deal on a job lot with this dealer.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10What a top stall holder, eh? And a top-shop team. Well done.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11All three items are bought.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I'm thinking with that beer tankard,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- I think we need to sell the brewery. - Fill it.- Are we going?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- Let's do it.- Come on. Well done, guys.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Cheers, chaps.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Right, girls, five minutes left on the clock,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22time to get your motors running.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- Charles.- Yes.- What do you think to that to the back?- Yeah.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31I mean, again, you girls like striking objects, don't you?
0:21:31 > 0:21:32It is a clock garniture.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37I suspect the actual pottery is Continental.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39It could be French or German. It is 1920s.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I love the fact that the three are altogether still.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45And if you have an Art Deco home, it will...
0:21:45 > 0:21:49it would sit so well on that oak 1920s fireplace.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54My only issue I can see... What can you see from where you are?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57On the vases, it looks like there is some sort of cracked glaze.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02- Oh, right, on the top of that one on the right.- I love the form.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06That radiating blue and red form is what you call an anthemion.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Good luck. How much?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- Don't know.- Let's find out. - Excuse me. Hi.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16How much for the garniture set?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19It can be... I wanted 50 for it, it can be £40.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Could it be 30 because it has a chip in it?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24You drive a very hard bargain.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25She does.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29- Yes, I'll do that for you. - I love you.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Again?- Is four a crowd? Is four a crowd?- You can come in.- I agree.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Well, this is all very cosy, team,
0:22:37 > 0:22:41but time to put the brakes on because time is well and truly up.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Let's check out what the Reds bought, eh?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48First up was the cracking cruet sets. They paid £12.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55The next purchase was the watch holder, for ten pounds.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00And finally, they spent £30 on the Deco garniture set.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- OK, girls, this is fun, isn't it?- It is.- Yes.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09- Now, which is your favourite piece? - It's the condiment set.- OK.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- And for you, Marie?- The same. - OK, very good.- Yes.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- And is that going to bring the biggest profit, Marie?- Yes!
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Yes, it is.- Definitely.- It is all condiment set with you, isn't it?
0:23:18 > 0:23:23- Yeah.- It is.- All seasoning. - A bit of spice.- And pep. OK.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27- And how much did you spend in total? - £52.- On the whole lot?- Yeah.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31You are girls, you go out shopping with £300 and you only spend £52.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34It is the first and it probably will be the only time that has ever
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- happened.- I rather suspect that is the case, Trish.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Anyway, please may I have £248 of leftover lolly?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Thank you very much. Lovely nails.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45248...
0:23:45 > 0:23:47248... £248?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49It frightens me, Tim.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- It frightens me! You'll need security.- Absolutely.- Exactly.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Anyway, that is not all, you've got
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Tim's tonne coming out of the tum.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Oooh!
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Especially for you, Charles. - It's still warm!
0:24:02 > 0:24:04It's a little baby Tim!
0:24:04 > 0:24:09It happens to be £100 and it is yours to spend wisely,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11as I know you will do.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Their first by was the pair of Chinese table lamps.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19They paid £25.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Next up, they paid £40 for the oak and silver tankard.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30And lastly, they are hoping to hit a high note at the auction with
0:24:30 > 0:24:32the accordion. They paid £40.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- OK, chaps, did you have a fantastic time?- We did, yeah.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- Awesomely good, yeah. - Awesomely good!- Absolutely.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43And now, Jonathan, tell me, which is your favourite piece?
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- It's...the accordion.- Is it? And do you agree with that, Steve?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50No, I, um...
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- I prefer the tankard.- Do you?- Yeah.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit do you think, Steve?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57- I still think the tankard.- Lovely.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59And what do you think is going to bring the burst?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Got a sneaking feeling it'll be the lamp bases
0:25:01 > 0:25:04cos I don't like them. Usually when I don't like something,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- it's worth a fortune.- OK, fine. That's logical.- Kiss of death.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- How much did you spend in to-to? - 105.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14£105, I'd like £195 of leftover lolly, please.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- There you go.- £195. Thank you very much, Steve, my friend.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18That goes straight over to Paul Laidlaw,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21who has got a double challenge today because it is a special programme
0:25:21 > 0:25:25and he gets Tim's tonne - the extra £100 to buy the extra
0:25:25 > 0:25:28bonus buy, which hopefully he'll find in a minute or two.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Good luck, Paul, with that multiple task.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Meanwhile, how is young Carlos getting on with his first bonus buy?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39So, for Maria and Trish, my concern is I've got so much to spend,
0:25:39 > 0:25:43I've got £248 which is frightening
0:25:43 > 0:25:46because Mr Wonnacott likes to see good spends.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48I don't dare spend, like, £40 or £50.
0:25:50 > 0:25:56If I said to you, I have got £248,
0:25:56 > 0:25:57could I buy that?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- Not for that money, you couldn't. - Look at me.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01This is a gorgeous porcelain plaque.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05This is probably almost certainly Berlin.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Put it down, Charles, it's too expensive.
0:26:07 > 0:26:13There we are. Mother's spoken. Back to loss. Oh, she's nice.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Now, what we have got here is a gorgeous lady.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19She is an oval porcelain probably bohemian... How much is she?
0:26:19 > 0:26:23- It has got 290.- Really? - What was your budget? Remind me.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- Would you take 220?- No.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Honest to goodness, I've been battling with this Italian.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Look at me. She's gorgeous, almost a similarity there as well,
0:26:31 > 0:26:32in this flowing locks.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34What is your best price?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Look, I'll take 230 cos I don't want to have another argument
0:26:36 > 0:26:38with my Italian.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43I think she is really nice and sometimes in the market
0:26:43 > 0:26:47for such commercial wares, you have got to speculate. That is a sale.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- Thanks ever so much. - Thanks.- 230. 230.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53What about that extra £100 for Tim's tonne?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57What has caught my eye is this jockey here.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Is it a car mascot?
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- It is indeed. Yes. From the 1950s. - Isn't that neat?
0:27:03 > 0:27:07This, to me, is a really popular object in the auction market
0:27:07 > 0:27:08at the moment.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12I think for the girls, it's shiny, it's quite glamorous
0:27:12 > 0:27:18and it all depends, really, if it falls within Tim's tonne.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- How much is it, please? - Well, it is competitively priced.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24£125.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26The best I could do would be 100.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- Really?- Yeah.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Ordinarily, dealers give 10%, and that is quite right,
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- but you are saying I can have this for £100?- Yes.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36And that falls within Tim's tonne. Thanks a lot, I'll take it, sir.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- Good luck.- Thanks a lot. Brilliant.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Very good, Mr Hanson.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Both bonus buys bought. Has Paul made any purchases yet?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Remember, Paul, you have £195 of leftover lolly
0:27:49 > 0:27:51and the additional £100 from Tim's tonne.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54I am looking to spend some of Steve and John's leftover lolly.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57They bought a cracking pair of lamps.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01But I have got an altogether different kind of lamp.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Yes, it's me and it is military, but, look, it is a hot market
0:28:05 > 0:28:09and I have expertise in that field, and I generally get it right.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Forget your table lamps, this is for signalling.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15And we look down here to another ship, which through the fog
0:28:15 > 0:28:18and the rain is... How old else are we going to communicate?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20There they are. That's the ship.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23And I've got a trigger here and a big bulb in there.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Morse, simple as that.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31I need a bargain to save our souls. It is all labelled up.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33It is Second World War dated.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36And it is probably one of the better examples I've seen.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39That said, they are not uncommon and they are not uber glamorous.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44It would have to be cheap. Well, I'll find out.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Hurry off and have a haggle, then, Paul.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Yours for £25.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54I'd reckon that's worth £30 to £50 all day long.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Great stuff, that'll do.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59And as they say in the Navy...
0:28:59 > 0:29:02MORSE CODE BEEPING
0:29:06 > 0:29:07Don't you agree?
0:29:10 > 0:29:16Now, I've got Tim's tonne to spend, and I want to spend it well.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18What do we have?
0:29:18 > 0:29:22It's a Victorian silver cased half hunter fob watch,
0:29:22 > 0:29:26complete with a huge guard chain.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Price-wise, well, there is no price on this material.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33I would like to get this for half of Tim's tonne,
0:29:33 > 0:29:34to be honest with you.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37To stand a good chance at making money.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40But it is worth asking, yeah? Give me two ticks.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45Two ticks, ha. Let me be in charge of the puns, thank you, Paul.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Well, I've parted with my cash.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50I've paid all of £60 for this.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Profit? Oh, I hope so. I think so, too.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Great!
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Well done, Paul, just the ticket.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Now, before the auction, I think this may be a good time for me
0:30:00 > 0:30:04to pop off and look at some tickets of a different variety.
0:30:11 > 0:30:16I am in the Jeffrey Museum in the East End of London today,
0:30:16 > 0:30:20set within arms houses,
0:30:20 > 0:30:26which were built in 1714 for the benefit of the elderly and needy.
0:30:26 > 0:30:31They were acquired by the London Borough Council in 1914
0:30:31 > 0:30:36to establish this museum, which tells the story of everyday
0:30:36 > 0:30:39life from the 1600s to the present day.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48All the interiors through the museum,
0:30:48 > 0:30:51in all their varieties of styles,
0:30:51 > 0:30:53have been furnished with pieces
0:30:53 > 0:30:56that have been bought at auction or from a dealer.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00And unlike, say, a piece of silver which is hallmarked
0:31:00 > 0:31:02or a painting which is signed,
0:31:02 > 0:31:08furniture is incredibly difficult to place as to who made it
0:31:08 > 0:31:12and where it came from unless you are lucky enough to find
0:31:12 > 0:31:14a piece of furniture with a label.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24This room dates from the 1690s and is dominated down at this
0:31:24 > 0:31:28end by a rather interesting piece of furniture designed
0:31:28 > 0:31:34for storage of your little precious and also for writing.
0:31:34 > 0:31:40On the face of it, this flat front doesn't scream writing, does it?
0:31:40 > 0:31:43But if we open the front, though...
0:31:44 > 0:31:49It reveals the most gorgeous fitted interior.
0:31:49 > 0:31:54This type of furniture is called an escritoire or scritoire.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58And the cabinet maker has created a fitted interior with all
0:31:58 > 0:32:00sorts of interesting bits.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04A row of pigeonholes with pull-out sections.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07A central tabernacle-type door.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12A very practical and convenient piece of furniture.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15For most people buying a piece of 17th-century walnut
0:32:15 > 0:32:18furniture, that is about it.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22Except in this case, there is a further surprise.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28Inside the drawer, pasted, is a miraculous survival -
0:32:28 > 0:32:31an original makers label.
0:32:31 > 0:32:37The maker here is John Guilbaud - "cabinet maker at the Crown
0:32:37 > 0:32:42"and Looking Glass," which I guess is a pub, in Long Acre, in London.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44So he is a London cabinet-maker.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45And effectively,
0:32:45 > 0:32:49he is advertising his wares by sticking this label
0:32:49 > 0:32:53inside the piece of furniture and positively identifying it for us
0:32:53 > 0:32:56and future generations as a result.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58How important is this label?
0:32:58 > 0:33:03Well, it transforms this piece of furniture into the earliest
0:33:03 > 0:33:07known piece of English furniture with a label. Ha!
0:33:07 > 0:33:09And that is pretty important.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15Now, let's travel 50 years. Just like that!
0:33:15 > 0:33:19And we find ourselves in a reconstructed interior
0:33:19 > 0:33:21of a room as it might have looked
0:33:21 > 0:33:25around 1740 to 1750,
0:33:25 > 0:33:31basically at the height of the Georgian period of elegance.
0:33:31 > 0:33:36One of the earliest pieces in this room is this chair.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40And if you look at the back in relation to other
0:33:40 > 0:33:44backs of chairs in this room, it is a peculiar shape.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Very, very plain, upright.
0:33:46 > 0:33:51And then on a traditional early Georgian base with cabriole legs
0:33:51 > 0:33:54and nice turned stretchers.
0:33:54 > 0:33:59The interesting thing for us, though, lies hidden within.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03If you are sharp-eyed and eager, if you are viewing a sale,
0:34:03 > 0:34:09take out the drop-in seat and look at the frame that is revealed.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13Because if you are really sharp, as in this case,
0:34:13 > 0:34:19you might spot one of those - a label for Old and Oddy.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23Old and Oddy, London chair makers.
0:34:23 > 0:34:28And here we can see the vestige of one of their labels that has
0:34:28 > 0:34:35had a later red stencil that says J5 painted over the top.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39That is a label that looks utterly genuine to me.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43It is in the right place. It has suffered some damage.
0:34:43 > 0:34:49And would form part of the 1% of English furniture
0:34:49 > 0:34:53that has got identification of this type, which
0:34:53 > 0:34:55makes it really, really rare.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57The big question today for us, though,
0:34:57 > 0:35:02is are our teams going to make their own mark over at the auction?
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Well, we've stayed in the County of Lincolnshire just gone a tad
0:35:14 > 0:35:19south to Bourne to be at Golding, Young, Mawer's saleroom
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- with Colin Young. Hello, Colin. - Good to see you, Tim.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23Very nice to see you too.
0:35:23 > 0:35:28Now, the Reds first of all what with that miserable-looking cruet.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32- Yeah.- My least favourite object, I have to say.- Very chintzy, isn't it?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Yeah, it is, really. Not in great condition.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37It's got some paint on it, but they only paid £12.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Well, they're fine then. I put an estimate of 10 to 30,
0:35:39 > 0:35:41so it might make a profit.
0:35:41 > 0:35:46Next is the Staffordshire watch holder. Completely smashed top.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Lots of bits missing. Will you be able to sell it
0:35:49 > 0:35:50for a £5-note do you think?
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- I think we well.- Do you? - Yeah, big, bold estimate on it.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57Let's go for broke, seeing as it already is, of £25 to 40.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00You never know, somebody might go for it.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Well, that's a good strategy, Colin. Thank you.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05They paid £10 for it and in my book,
0:36:05 > 0:36:07they'll be jolly lucky to get their money back.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11And the last item is the really, really cheap clock garniture.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16Yeah, it's very cheap, very poor quality and of course,
0:36:16 > 0:36:17there's damage on it as well.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Yep, with a combination like that got to be worth £10 a unit,
0:36:20 > 0:36:22so I put an estimate of £30 to 50.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25- Well, actually it only needs to make more than £30.- OK.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28So, maybe didn't do too badly paying £30 for that.
0:36:28 > 0:36:33But overall, it is a package that doesn't inspire me
0:36:33 > 0:36:37in which case the excitement may come from the bonus buys.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39So let's go and have a look at them.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41OK, team, this is fun, isn't it?
0:36:41 > 0:36:42- Two bonus buys.- Yes.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45You spent practically nothing, you girls, £52.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48You gave £248 to Charles, a massive amount.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Charles, what did you buy?
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- I went really big, OK? - I can see that.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55I only had £18 left over after my buy.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- So I spent 230.- 230?- OK.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02230 on this most wonderful, wonderful of antiques,
0:37:02 > 0:37:06with a huge capital A. Look at that!
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Oh...
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Isn't she gorgeous, you know? - £230!
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- She's a floozy.- Sorry?- She's a floozy.- Why is she a floozy?
0:37:15 > 0:37:17She's got her boobies out.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Oh, yeah, well, I think that's part of the attraction really.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21She's painted on porcelain.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24She's Continental and all the more important
0:37:24 > 0:37:27is the fact that she is German, Berlin.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32And she will date to around 1870, 1880. And just look at her.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Look at her eyes. Look into her.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- Look deep.- Look deep.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- She's meaningful. - I'm looking at £230!- Yeah.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44Hand on heart, on a really, really racy day, she could make £400.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47On a really bad day, hand on heart, she could make 80.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50So, we either take on a journey or we don't?
0:37:50 > 0:37:54- What are you giggling about, Marie? - Well, it's £230 for this!
0:37:54 > 0:37:57So, I'm not sure the girls are that convinced.
0:37:57 > 0:37:58What about Colin, the auctioneer?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Right, then, Colin. There we go.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05The most desirable of porcelain plaques of this type
0:38:05 > 0:38:07are supposed to be Berlin and that's a Berlin one.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- So, it's got to be well painted, isn't it?- It is.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13You can just see the quality oozing from it. It's a...
0:38:13 > 0:38:16just a really nice face that's painted.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20The locks... Just everything about it and...
0:38:20 > 0:38:21and she's a very pretty lady.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26Charles Hanson spent £230 on this and he really rates it.
0:38:27 > 0:38:34I wouldn't rate it there. I've put estimate on this now of...
0:38:34 > 0:38:3580 to 120.
0:38:35 > 0:38:40- Oh, right.- It is a long way away from it, but if it made double,
0:38:40 > 0:38:42triple that...
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Yeah, I could see why.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48We will have to wait and see, but remember we have Tim's tonne.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50So, let's go and have a look at it.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Tell the girls about what you bought this time.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Yeah, auctions very much is a canter.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57It can be a gallop to the finishing line,
0:38:57 > 0:39:00so I thought for the auction here in Bourne, Lincolnshire,
0:39:00 > 0:39:05this wonderful racing horse or car mascot, chrome plated, and French,
0:39:05 > 0:39:09and probably 1930s, might take your fancy. Look at me.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- Go nice on a motorbike, wouldn't it? - Yeah, absolutely.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16- I was just thinking that right now. - Guess what it cost me.- 30 quid.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- Sorry?- 30 quid.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22- Times by three, add a tenner. 100.- It was £100.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Yeah, it was £100.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- Right.- I quite like it. Actually, I quite like that.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30To me, I think it might make 100 to 150.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- OK.- Yeah. Happy?- BOTH: Yes.- Oh, good.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Anyway, treasure the moment cos right now we're going to check
0:39:36 > 0:39:41with the auctioneer whether he likes Charles' bonus buy.
0:39:41 > 0:39:46Now it's a very common example that does come to auction.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48We've had many, many of these.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Sometimes there actually polychrome finished as well as just
0:39:51 > 0:39:54being in that sort of chrome solid finish.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57And, you know, you can get over £100 for the coloured ones,
0:39:57 > 0:40:00but these ones generally £40 to 60.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02They can make a fraction more than that,
0:40:02 > 0:40:05but they are fairly much stayed and stable market.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Are they? OK.
0:40:07 > 0:40:08Well, Charles, bless him,
0:40:08 > 0:40:13paid £100 for it and therefore, he may have gone over the top.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16On these programmes, I have a choice,
0:40:16 > 0:40:19which one of the two bonus buys do I think in proportion
0:40:19 > 0:40:22to the price paid will make the best money
0:40:22 > 0:40:26and I have to say I distrust the Berlin plaque
0:40:26 > 0:40:30because of the subject and I've gone with the car mascot. There we go.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34Now, that's it from the Reds. Now moving on to the Blues.
0:40:34 > 0:40:40We have a pair of Chinese hardwood table lamps, which are chunky
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- and really quite nicely carved, aren't they?- They are.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45They are not too bad. There's a few splits down some of them,
0:40:45 > 0:40:47but overall, the image is good.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Maybe £40 to 60 for them. How does that sound?
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Very good. £25 paid. I think it's remarkable.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57We now move on to the silver mounted oak tankard,
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- which I think is beautiful object, actually.- It is.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03I mean, those things are always really popular.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04OK, it's not in the greatest order.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07There's some big splits down it, but nevertheless,
0:41:07 > 0:41:10there should be plenty of people bidding £40 to £60 for it.
0:41:10 > 0:41:16OK. Mappin & Webb, 1924, solid silver, honest English oak,
0:41:16 > 0:41:21£40 paid. I mean, that could easily make £60 or 80 or 90, couldn't it?
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- Yeah, very easily.- If the silver trade take a shine to it.- Yeah.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- That is quite a cool object.- Yeah.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Next is the piano accordion.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Not so sure about that.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33- Been well-used, hasn't it?- It has.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36It's been strummed a few times as they say.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39And I think really condition-wise,
0:41:39 > 0:41:44- it's not good. I've put an estimate of 40 to 60 on it.- OK.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47£40 they paid and based on those estimates,
0:41:47 > 0:41:49this team is going to do jolly well.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51They're going to need their bonus buys,
0:41:51 > 0:41:54but let's go and have a look at them anyway.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58OK, guys, special day. Double bonus buy.
0:41:58 > 0:42:03The team's bonus buy, Paul had £195 to spend.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Show us what you bought, Paul, please.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09- Come see this hardware here, chaps.- Oh!- OK.
0:42:09 > 0:42:14It comes in its transit case, but what do we have there in?
0:42:14 > 0:42:16We have... Well, what do you think they have?
0:42:16 > 0:42:19A lamp from a battleship where they signal.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23- You're good! You're good! - I've seen a few war films.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27That's exactly what we've got and Aldis type signalling lamp.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30This is an admiral... A Royal Naval issued piece.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34And our little signaller using Morse, he spies the other vessel
0:42:34 > 0:42:40and he's signalling away, yeah? Or ship to aircraft, yeah?
0:42:40 > 0:42:45What do you think of that? Striking object! But very evocative.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47How much did you blow?
0:42:47 > 0:42:52- £25.- What?- How much?- £25!
0:42:52 > 0:42:55I'm guessing there's like a really big following for military
0:42:55 > 0:42:58- stuff, isn't there? - There is. There is.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01I suspect it's only going to make £30 to 50.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03But that one, you're doubling your money.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07In Bargain Hunt world, that works for me.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Well, there you go. You've got his estimate then. Maybe 30 to 50.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14He paid £25. That's the team's bonus buy sorted out.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Let's get Colin's thoughts.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19Right then, Colin. I hope this is going to send you the right signal.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22Ah! It is. Something I recognise.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24- I've had a few of these through the sales.- Have you?- Mm.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28- Gosh, I've never seen one before. What fun!- Really?- No.- Ah.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31In fact, we've had them in fairly recently on the basis
0:43:31 > 0:43:36of the last two we've sold. One made 25, one made 38.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39So, my estimate today is £25 to 38.
0:43:39 > 0:43:40That's a very precise message.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43- You could almost send it in Morse. Ha!- You could.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45Anyway, it's a typical Paul Laidlaw purchase.
0:43:45 > 0:43:50It comes with a kind of carrying box. He paid £25 for it.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52He really rates it.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55'Excellent, let's hope the buyers will be in the room then.'
0:43:55 > 0:43:59Now we move on to Tim's tonne, which Paul Laidlaw's going to reveal now.
0:43:59 > 0:44:03- Well, I give the... A combination lot here.- It's nice.
0:44:03 > 0:44:08Cos we have a little silver half hunter.
0:44:08 > 0:44:12And that in its own right is a pretty, little watch,
0:44:12 > 0:44:19but with it we have rather a substantial Belcher link. Whoa!
0:44:19 > 0:44:22- Well, that ain't an Albert, is it?- Nope!
0:44:22 > 0:44:24- Depending on your girth, of course. - Ha!
0:44:24 > 0:44:26This is a guard chain.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29This is how a lady carries her fob watch.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33And indeed, this is rather a diminutive little affair, is it not?
0:44:33 > 0:44:36In this instance, we've got a bit of substance there. You feel that.
0:44:37 > 0:44:42That's a good silver guard chain. Here you go. Yours for...
0:44:42 > 0:44:47- £60.- 60 quid.- Right.- Lovely. Well, there we go. Thank you, chaps.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50Plenty of choice. Right now, though, let's find out from the auctioneer
0:44:50 > 0:44:53for the benefit of the viewers at home what he thinks.
0:44:54 > 0:44:59Now for Tim's tonne, and he's bought the silver watch and chain.
0:44:59 > 0:45:03That's rather nice. So we've got the silver half hunter.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05So, it's a quite nice little thing.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07I mean, that's got a be worth a good sort of,
0:45:07 > 0:45:10- I suppose, £35, 45 on its own.- Yes.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12Then we stopped the chain to go with it as well,
0:45:12 > 0:45:14which is quite a long chain.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17I suppose, it's more the sort of muff-type chain
0:45:17 > 0:45:19- or long guard, they are often called.- Yes, they are.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22That's quite nice. So, I'm going to go with 40 to 60
0:45:22 > 0:45:24and that should get everybody excited.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27OK, well, fine. Thanks very much for that. £60 was paid.
0:45:27 > 0:45:29I have to make my prediction
0:45:29 > 0:45:33and my prediction is that the Aldis lamp will be the piece
0:45:33 > 0:45:36that would be likely to bring the most profit.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38It's a flip of the coin between the two of them.
0:45:38 > 0:45:42Excellent. And you'll be doing the flipping. Thank you, Colin.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45Right, now, Mr Young, grab your gavel and give it a go.
0:45:45 > 0:45:46Let's get this sale under way.
0:45:48 > 0:45:49GAVEL BANGS
0:45:49 > 0:45:52Now, Marie, Trish, here we are. We are on the edge of the auction.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55- Isn't this exciting? - Yes.- It is exciting.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58- You can't wait, can you, Marie?- No! - No? Quite right, me neither.
0:45:58 > 0:46:03OK, now, first up is going to be the Newport pottery cruet set.
0:46:03 > 0:46:04- Here it comes.- Good luck.- Yes!
0:46:04 > 0:46:07There we go. Lovely chintz pattern to this with a plated mount on it.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09Who's going to start me at £20 for it?
0:46:09 > 0:46:1020. I'll take 10 to go then. 10.
0:46:10 > 0:46:14Anybody going to start me at £10 for it? 10, anybody at 10? Fiver to go.

0:46:48 > 0:46:49All right, 20 to go.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51We know it needs a structural survey.
0:46:51 > 0:46:56- £20, anybody? £10 to go. - Oh, it's painful.- £10? 10 there.

0:47:08 > 0:47:10Yes! Plus £10.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13- Well done for that.- One to go. - (Oh, that's fantastic!)
0:47:13 > 0:47:14Now your garniture.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17French Ceranord pottery clock garniture this time.
0:47:17 > 0:47:21Who's going to start me at £80 for it? £80, anybody? 80. 80.
0:47:21 > 0:47:2360 if you like. £60, anybody? 60?
0:47:23 > 0:47:25Start me at 50, then. 50.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28OK, then. Don't really want to go any lower than 30,
0:47:28 > 0:47:30but 30 will do as a start if we've got to.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32(Come on, please).
0:47:32 > 0:47:34Anybody going to put me in at 30? 30 over there.
0:47:34 > 0:47:35Now he's got it.
0:47:35 > 0:47:3832 now surely. At 30 bid. 32 on the internet. 32.
0:47:38 > 0:47:3935 now. No.
0:47:39 > 0:47:4232 it's on the internet at 32. 35 now surely.
0:47:42 > 0:47:46At 32. Last call. Done and finished and selling then on the net at £32.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48Plus £2. Well done, girls, you've done it.
0:47:48 > 0:47:52A profit on each object. This is now £22.
0:47:52 > 0:47:56- Plus £22 and you get a Golden Gavel. - Yes.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59- And you spent practically nothing... - Yeah.- That seems to be the strategy.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01Now what are you going to do with these two bonus buys?
0:48:01 > 0:48:04Are you going to go with the Berlin plaque
0:48:04 > 0:48:05- and risk £230...- BOTH: No.
0:48:05 > 0:48:09..or are you going to go with the mascot job and risk 100?
0:48:09 > 0:48:12- I'll let you...- No.- What's that?
0:48:12 > 0:48:15- No to either of them.- OK fine. Good.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17Well, you've made your decision - for better or for worse,
0:48:17 > 0:48:20but we are going to sell both bonus buys.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22And if the bonus buys realise a profit,
0:48:22 > 0:48:25- then that profit will go to charity. - Fantastic.- Lovely.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27That's the way it works. OK?
0:48:27 > 0:48:30Now, I'm supposed to make a pick. Which one is going to bring
0:48:30 > 0:48:33the biggest profit or the smallest loss?
0:48:33 > 0:48:37And my assessment of that is today the mascot,
0:48:37 > 0:48:40but first up is the porcelain plaque.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42We're going to sell it and here comes.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45An exquisite 19th-century Berlin porcelain plaque there. There we go.
0:48:45 > 0:48:47What should we say for this one?
0:48:47 > 0:48:49Who's going to start me straight in at bottom estimate 80?
0:48:49 > 0:48:53Should be starting there. 50 to go then. 50. 50 with you. 50, 60 now.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56Make it at 60. 70. 80. 90 now, do I see?
0:48:56 > 0:48:5890? 100.
0:48:58 > 0:49:0010 now. 110. 110. 120 now. 120.
0:49:00 > 0:49:04- Come on now. Let's go. - 130 now. 30. 140.
0:49:04 > 0:49:10- At 140. 150 now. 50. 160. - Could move.- 170. 180. 190. 200.
0:49:10 > 0:49:16- At £200 bid. At 200. 220. 240 now. - Come on!- 220 bid.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19It's the last call for you all. At 220. We are all done.
0:49:19 > 0:49:23We're finished. It's on the market. I will sell at £220.
0:49:23 > 0:49:27Marvellous. It's only minus £10. You are vindicated.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30Your pick was right, Charles. Well done. Congratulations.
0:49:30 > 0:49:33To within a whisker. Now, here comes the car mascot.
0:49:33 > 0:49:37Who's going to start me at £100? 100, anybody? 100. 100.
0:49:37 > 0:49:4080 to go then. Good condition. £80. 50 to go then surely.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42- £50, anybody?- Come on. - £50, anybody? 40, if you like.
0:49:42 > 0:49:4540, look at what we're selling. It's here to be sold. £40 bid.
0:49:45 > 0:49:485 do I see now? At £40 I'm bid now. 2 now surely. 42.
0:49:48 > 0:49:5145. 45, thank you, madam. 45? 48. 48 bid.
0:49:51 > 0:49:5450 now. £50 bid. 50. And 5?
0:49:54 > 0:49:5955. Bid 60 now. 60. At £55 bid.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01Anymore for the horse and jockey? 55 bid.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03Is there 60 anywhere else now?
0:50:03 > 0:50:04At 55. This is the last call then.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07- It's an market on the end of the row...- That's disappointing.
0:50:07 > 0:50:1055, but it's minus 45.
0:50:10 > 0:50:14But frankly our girls have made the right decision
0:50:14 > 0:50:17despite unbelievable pressure being put upon them
0:50:17 > 0:50:20- to pick one way or the other. - Oh, yes!- Our girls...
0:50:20 > 0:50:23our girls remain pure and upright.
0:50:23 > 0:50:27They walk away with a £22-profit, which is marvellous.
0:50:27 > 0:50:31And neither of the bonus buys were much cop and neither was
0:50:31 > 0:50:34my prediction as to which one of the bonus buys was going to do any good.
0:50:34 > 0:50:38So, there we have it, but you girls are very, very smart, right?
0:50:38 > 0:50:41- Yes.- The thing is don't say a word to the Blues.- No.- No.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44- We don't want to spoil their day. And...- Well done. Thank you.
0:50:44 > 0:50:45- Good luck.- Yes, thank you.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47Will it be a winning score on not? We'll find out in a minute.
0:50:54 > 0:50:58- OK, chaps, this is riveting. Yes? You riveted, John?- Utterly.
0:50:58 > 0:51:00- Utterly riveted. And what about you, Steve?- Excited.- OK, fine.
0:51:00 > 0:51:04Now, first up will be the hardwood lamps and here they come.
0:51:04 > 0:51:0619th century Chinese hardwood table lamps
0:51:06 > 0:51:09and who's going to start me at £80, please? £80, anybody? 80.
0:51:09 > 0:51:13£80 some good quality carving there. 80. Then 50 to go then. £50 anybody?
0:51:13 > 0:51:1650. 30 to go then. 30. £30 bid. At £30 bid, now two.
0:51:16 > 0:51:20- Make 32 now surely. At £30. - You are in profit already.
0:51:20 > 0:51:2332, surely. At £30 maiden bid has it. Anymore now from the net?
0:51:23 > 0:51:26From anywhere else now? At £30 bid. Maiden bid takes it then.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28Not very exciting, is it? At 30 bid. Two now.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30Surely somebody else is going to join in.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32Nobody else is going to see the light?
0:51:32 > 0:51:35And we're there at 30 bid. Selling at £30.
0:51:35 > 0:51:39£30 is plus £5. Well done, chaps.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41Now, the ale tankard...
0:51:41 > 0:51:45- Here comes the ale tankard. - The George V tankard this time.
0:51:45 > 0:51:47There we go. A really, really lovely lot, this,
0:51:47 > 0:51:49with the silver bounding around it.
0:51:49 > 0:51:52And we start the bidding on this one, multiple bids,
0:51:52 > 0:51:54I'll start at the lowest, which is 15 bid.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56At 15 bid. 18 bid. 20 now.
0:51:56 > 0:52:0120 bid. 22. 25. 28. Bid 30.
0:52:01 > 0:52:0632. 35, 38 bid. At 38 bid. 40 now do I see? 40 bid.
0:52:06 > 0:52:11- At 40. 42 now. At £40 bid. - Come on, only £2.
0:52:11 > 0:52:12Don't stick at 40.
0:52:12 > 0:52:14Two now do I see? At £40 bid. Two anywhere else, then?
0:52:14 > 0:52:17- Two.- Come on, another couple of quid.
0:52:17 > 0:52:21- Selling this time at £42.- 42's a profit. I don't care. It's a profit.
0:52:21 > 0:52:22Plus £2. That's fair enough. Now...
0:52:22 > 0:52:24You promised us a fortune off of that.
0:52:24 > 0:52:26Hey, it is a fortune £2.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29- Around these parts. - I've been looking at houses abroad.
0:52:29 > 0:52:33Round these parts, £2 is a fortune, all right? Now, come on, lads.
0:52:33 > 0:52:34Here comes the accordion.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37The Italian Soprani accordion this time. There we go.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40Very nice looking accordion, this one. What should we say for this?
0:52:40 > 0:52:45Who's going to start me at £80? We are at 80. 50 to go then. 50. 30.
0:52:45 > 0:52:4920 to go then surely. £20, anybody? 20. £20. Anybody going to put me in?
0:52:49 > 0:52:52- £20 you've all seen it...- Oh, come on. That's less than £1 a key.
0:52:52 > 0:52:5410 to go then. 10. £10.
0:52:54 > 0:52:59- £10. On your bike, eh? - Anymore than? £10.- You joking.- No.
0:52:59 > 0:53:01Is anybody going to make me an offer? 10 over there. 10.
0:53:01 > 0:53:03We are in at 10. He wants to get home early.
0:53:03 > 0:53:06If I couldn't get it early... 12! Late surge in the bidding
0:53:06 > 0:53:08right in the back at 12. 15. 18 now.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10I knew we shouldn't have gone for the accordion.
0:53:10 > 0:53:11No. That was short-lived, then.
0:53:11 > 0:53:13At 15 bid. We are back at the front then,
0:53:13 > 0:53:14but it is on the market.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17It is going to sell at £15.
0:53:17 > 0:53:21£15 he sold it for, which is minus £25 and you had seven.
0:53:21 > 0:53:25You are now minus £18.
0:53:25 > 0:53:27You're minus 18, right? Let's not be gloomy about this.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29It's a great shame. It started out very nicely,
0:53:29 > 0:53:31but the accordion let us down.
0:53:31 > 0:53:33- That's my fault.- So, we are now on with the bonus buys.
0:53:33 > 0:53:36- Fortunately, we've got two of them. How lovely is that?- Yeah.
0:53:36 > 0:53:40You got the Aldis signalling lamp, which is risking you 25,
0:53:40 > 0:53:45or you've got the watch and chain, which is risking you 60. Or neither.
0:53:45 > 0:53:47Do you think you want to go with either bonus buy?
0:53:47 > 0:53:48That's the first decision.
0:53:48 > 0:53:52- I think we should kind of stick with that.- Stick with that?- And still...
0:53:52 > 0:53:54- Yeah, we can still win with that. - Stick with minus 18?- Yeah.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57- Yeah, we can still win.- Come on, grow some.- Let's go for silver, then.
0:53:57 > 0:54:01- Silver, then?- Yeah.- Go ahead and do it then.- Silver.- That's your choice.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04- That's your pick. You're going with it, quickly, or not?- Yes.- Yes.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06Yes, we are going with the silver half hunter.
0:54:06 > 0:54:08First up, though, is the Aldis lamp.
0:54:08 > 0:54:09And we are going to sell that
0:54:09 > 0:54:12and if it makes a profit, we'll give the profit to charity, all right?
0:54:12 > 0:54:16- OK.- OK.- So, the team's bonus buy is coming up and here it comes.
0:54:16 > 0:54:18Signalling lamp. There we go. The signalling lamp there.
0:54:18 > 0:54:21What should we say for this? A lot of interest in this already.
0:54:21 > 0:54:24Who's going to start me at £40 for it? 40. 30 to go then, surely.
0:54:24 > 0:54:27£30, anyone? 30. 10 to go then. 10. 10. 12. Make it 12.
0:54:27 > 0:54:3215, 18, 20 bid, 22, 25, 28. 28 bid. 30. At 32, 35, 38. 38 bid.
0:54:32 > 0:54:3640 do I see now? 38 bid. 40 now surely. At £38 bid.
0:54:36 > 0:54:3940 from anywhere else now? 40 surely. No, 38.
0:54:39 > 0:54:44- It's a lady's bid there at the back. Selling that at £38.- £38.
0:54:44 > 0:54:48Anyway, there we go. Plus 13 to the lady who needs to send the signal.
0:54:48 > 0:54:49So, you missed out on that one.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52Now the next lot is the lot of silver and here it comes.
0:54:52 > 0:54:54Victorian silver half hunter pocket watch
0:54:54 > 0:54:57and you also get that wonderful guard chain to go with as well.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59- "Wonderful guard chain." - Multiple bids already.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01They obviously know exactly what it's worth
0:55:01 > 0:55:06cos I've got 42, 44, 46, 48 and 50.
0:55:06 > 0:55:09And five. Who's joining in next? There's a lot of chain there.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13At £50 bid. Five now surely. At £50 bid. Five surely. At 50 bid.
0:55:13 > 0:55:16- I'll take two, then. - A bit more.- Come on, man.
0:55:16 > 0:55:19Two anywhere else now surely. At £50.
0:55:19 > 0:55:21All the bids are within a shilling of each other at 50.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23Two do you have for me now? At 50?
0:55:23 > 0:55:25Done and finished. I'll sell then at £50.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28£50 is minus £10. Bad luck. Bad luck.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31So minus 10 makes you minus 28.
0:55:31 > 0:55:34- There we go. What a pity, eh?- We can still win with that, though?
0:55:34 > 0:55:37- Hm?- We could still win with that. - You could still win with minus 28,
0:55:37 > 0:55:39but it's very difficult to make these picks, isn't it?
0:55:39 > 0:55:43On this programme, I'm required to make a pick myself
0:55:43 > 0:55:45between the two bonus buys.
0:55:45 > 0:55:49And my pick today was the Aldis signalling lamp
0:55:49 > 0:55:52cos I rated it slightly more than the silver watch and chain.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54Anyway, there we are. Thanks, lads.
0:55:54 > 0:55:57It means there's a profit going to charity, which is no downside.
0:55:57 > 0:56:00So, that will go from the signalling lamp. Well done, Paul, for that.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02Bad luck on the bonus buy,
0:56:02 > 0:56:04but as you say minus £28 could be a winning score.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07Say not a word to the Reds. All will be revealed in a moment!
0:56:15 > 0:56:17Well, I feel some tension in the air.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19In fact, you could cut the atmosphere in here
0:56:19 > 0:56:22with a knife between these two teams.
0:56:22 > 0:56:25Anyway, I have to reveal that there's quite a gap
0:56:25 > 0:56:26between the two teams.
0:56:26 > 0:56:29This is not going to go down terribly well.
0:56:29 > 0:56:33Anyway, the runners-up today just happened to be...
0:56:33 > 0:56:34the Blues.
0:56:34 > 0:56:37THEY CHEER
0:56:42 > 0:56:45- See what I mean?- Yeah, it's not the winning, it's the second part.
0:56:45 > 0:56:48It's exactly the sentiment that's in my heart here, John.
0:56:48 > 0:56:50Anyway, John and Steve,
0:56:50 > 0:56:54you unfortunately didn't have a great day in the auction.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57And you finish up with a score which is minus 28,
0:56:57 > 0:57:02but one of the things was you failed to pick the correct bonus buy,
0:57:02 > 0:57:06the bonus buy that turned in the profit of £13.
0:57:06 > 0:57:10So, that's £13, which I have about my person here,
0:57:10 > 0:57:13I will congratulate Paul about because that was a good pick, Paul.
0:57:13 > 0:57:14Thank you for finding it.
0:57:14 > 0:57:17It will go to charity, so we are in a little win-win here.
0:57:17 > 0:57:20I'm sorry, chaps, that you're not going home with folded money,
0:57:20 > 0:57:24but the victors today who are going home by motor bicycle,
0:57:24 > 0:57:25£22 is what the girls take.
0:57:25 > 0:57:29There you go, girls. £22 which is just stunning.
0:57:29 > 0:57:32- Thank you. - You spent practically nothing. £52.
0:57:32 > 0:57:37You made £22 worth of profit on £52, so that's an achievement
0:57:37 > 0:57:38and you made a profit on all three items,
0:57:38 > 0:57:41which gets you the Golden Gavel Award.
0:57:41 > 0:57:45- Yes!- The Golden Gavel Award, which is a very special thing.- Thank you.
0:57:45 > 0:57:49Take that one. And here we go. Thank you, Charles.
0:57:49 > 0:57:52- To go for your collection.- Thanks a lot. Absolutely.- She's really nice.
0:57:52 > 0:57:55OK, never have I seen two women look happier, which is really good.
0:57:55 > 0:57:58- Charles, then you look pretty peaky yourself.- Over the moon.
0:57:58 > 0:58:00Anyway, had a good time? Yes, we have. OK.
0:58:00 > 0:58:04So join us soon for some more bargain-hunting, yes?
0:58:04 > 0:58:05ALL: Yes!
