Lincoln 68 Bargain Hunt

This special comes to you today from the Lincolnshire Showground.

"What's so special about it?" I hear you cry.

Well, for your additional viewing pleasure,

we present one whole hour of unalloyed antique action.

So... Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!

HE LAUGHS

Boy, do we have a wheelie, wheelie good show for you today.

In this one-hour special,

we have a team of bikers taking on a team of cyclists.

Our two-wheeled warriors will be leaving

the comfort of their saddle to do battle around the stalls.

We have tweaked the rules a tad,

but never fear,

I'll fill you in on that a bit later on. But right now,

let's have 125 see-see

as to what is coming up.

On today's show, the Reds are less than impressed.

It's awful!

I wouldn't give it house room. It's junk.

And there is plenty of banter with the Blues.

Paul! Paul.

Let's see what he thinks.

-It's just a... No.

-No.

-He can tell from that far away how bad it was.

-Yeah.

Before all that, let's meet the teams.

So, on Bargain Hunt today, it is horsepower versus pedal power.

And for the Reds, we have got Marie and Trish.

And for the Blues, we have got Steve and John. Hello, everyone.

-ALL: Hello.

-Hello.

-Hello.

Now, Marie, it was your love of motorbikes that got you two girls

-together.

-Yes, we met at a chapter night,

a chapter night being our meeting night for Harley-Davidson,

and it was Trish's first time there.

-And I knew she was trouble from the start.

-Did you?

-Absolutely.

So you thought, "She's going to be my mate, this girl,

"if she's trouble."

And how did your interest in motor bicycles start?

-Well, my brother, when I was smaller, he had a motorbike.

-Oh, yeah?

And then when I met my husband to be, he had a motorbike. And we...

-Got together.

-Yes.

-Exactly.

-Yes.

-You learned how to get on the back.

-Oh, easily, yes.

-Did you?

Cos there's quite a skill to ride pillion, isn't there?

-No.

-Is there not?

-Not at all.

-Don't you have to lean the right way?

-You just go with it.

-Don't think about it at all.

-No, you just go with it.

-Ever try driving it yourself, Marie?

-I had it go on a rolling road once.

-What does that mean?

-They have a bike stationary on a rolling...

-Oh, I see.

-And went to pieces.

-Did you?

-So you thought, "The pillion is the place for me."

-Yes.

-Provide additional comfort.

-Yes.

Now, this riding of motor bicycles can be quite romantic,

can't it, Trish?

Yeah, it can be. Yeah, I was proposed to on the back of a bike.

-You weren't!

-I was.

He shouted it over his shoulder many years ago and I said no,

because I didn't quite understand what he said.

And then when we got off, he'd got a face on him

and I thought, "Oh, dear, that didn't go down well.

-"I don't know what I have done."

-Yes.

And I thought about it all day at work and it suddenly dawned on me.

So when I came out of work, I said to him,

you know, "Is that question that you asked me...

"Is the offer still on the table?" He said, "It might be."

So I said, "If it is, the answer is yes."

-How lovely.

-We've been married for nearly 30 years.

You'll have to tell him to take his helmet off first,

-that's the thing.

-Yes.

-Anyway, good luck, girls.

-Thank you.

-Right. Now, you know you are up against, chaps.

-BOTH: Yep.

-You are mad about bikes, aren't you, Steve?

-That's right.

Well, I am the British cycling coach for Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.

So it is a dream job, really.

So you are scouting for the next wave of British cyclists.

Yeah, yeah. We have already had quite a bit of success getting children -

-boys and girls - into the sport.

-Good for you.

So, John, you used to be a primary school teacher and,

since meeting Steve, you have had a career change.

Probably in no small measure because of Steve, actually.

I was very impressed with what he did.

The organisation that I work for now

are principally known for operating the National Cycle Network.

They work with schools, communities.

And so when I was asked to go to work in all the schools, that is

-what I ended up doing now.

-Why are you known as Dr Bike, then?

Because part of what we do in schools is to try

to encourage as many children to attend school as they can on a bike,

and the first step towards that is to make sure there is as many

working bikes as possible.

So I do a session, usually two or three times a year in each

school I go in, and I fix all the poorly bikes.

Because I'm going in to fix poorly bikes, I've got...

-It soon becomes...

-Dr Bike.

-Yeah.

Why do they call you Bike Fairy, then?

That is another alter ego that I am possibly not quite so proud of.

Once we have got them interested in cycling,

we want them to keep cycling.

So what we do is we try and...basically, we bribe them.

We put incentives into place. One of those incentives it that

if there bicycle happens to be at school that day,

the bike fairy might flutter down and leave them a prize.

Ah!

To make that a little bit more real,

occasionally there are visits from the bike fairy,

in his Lycra and his tutu.

LAUGHTER

You have no pride, therefore, when it comes to these things.

-You will stoop to any depth.

-Any trick to get a kid on a bike.

Exactly.

What a wonderful story, anyway. It sounds fantastic.

And good on you, chaps. Here we go with the money moment.

Well done, teams. Here is your £300. £300 apiece.

You know the rules, your experts await. And off you go!

And very, very, very good luck. Or as they say, on your bike.

So, what about today's experts? For the Reds,

it is the one and only...

And hoping to spot something meteorite for the Blues, it's...

-Good morning. How are you?

-Hi.

-Hello.

The hour is about to start.

John, Steve, you guys have got to be competitive by nature, surely.

I am more competitive than him.

Let's not compete about who is the most competitive, OK?

-Marie, what is the plan today?

-Lots of silvery things, probably.

-Yes.

-Small things.

-Yes.

-And anything under £50.

-Look, this is our tour de...antiques.

-Yes.

We are going to get on our bikes, that is what we are going to do.

-Awesome.

-Come on, let's do that.

Yeah, let's go!

Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.

TYRES SCREECHING

If you see things which smile at you,

which talk to you, go over and have a look at them.

-Right, OK.

-OK.

Come on, Steven.

-These are Carlton Ware.

-Oh, are they?

-Salt and pepper.

They are not marked,

but almost certainly salt and peppers in the form of an apple.

-Yes.

-Condition is very important when it comes to collectibles.

-Yes.

Because, Trish, what is an antique?

Something that is older than Marie.

Steady, Trish.

-Antique, by definition, needs to be 100 years old.

-Oh, OK.

Well, maybe not, sorry.

Girls, you are meant to be on the same team.

What about the yoke, mate?

Thinking about farming communities and stuff like that.

We know what it is, but...

-Look at that.

-Put it over your neck.

Ugh! I am just a workhorse, aren't I?

All right, John, don't milk it, mate.

What do you reckon?

I get the whole rustic, the whole farmhouse and pub decoration thing.

-Apart from that...

-There is not a market, is there?

-Thanks very much.

-Thank you very much.

A bit of a false start, then, for the Blues. Stick with it, fellas.

Time to check in with our Carlos.

So, when you ride the bike, is it a big bike that you ride?

-Oh, yeah, it is a 1600 cc.

-Do you have, like, flags on the back of it?

We do when we go out for a chapter ride, yes.

-You aren't Hell's Angels, are you?

-No, we're not.

Hm, maybe not Hell's Angels, hey, Charlie?

MUSIC: Charlie's Angels Theme

'Once upon a time,

'there were two girls who arrived at an antiques fair.

'They were assigned £300 in which to find three unique items.

'Only one man could help them in their quest,

'and now he works for them.

'His name is Charlie.'

Now, where was I? Oh, yes, back with the Blues.

My mum used to have some Chinese carvings.

Those are priests, those guys, with their prayer beads.

And there is a crack in one. I like them. Look at the sockets.

Anything Chinese, you go, "Seriously,

"did it just come over the water in a container

"or has it got some age?"

Da, da, da! 1930s.

-Do you reckon?

-Of the period. And a pair...

They're worth 80 quid, 120 quid.

-That is what they'll sell for?

-Yeah. Do you like...?

I mean, are they hideous to you? Do you like them?

-What about the damage, though?

-Yes.

There is a crack there, filled, in that one.

That is common. A shrinkage crack over 80 years we'll forgive.

-Is that the kind of thing there is a niche for, then?

-There is, yeah.

A good decorator's... A pair, believe me, a pair - uncommon.

It's the price... Who are we dealing with here?

Who deals with this table?

Cos I know you're a bit territorial in here.

-How can we help you?

-Pair of lamps.

That pair of lamps there. They are very, very, very cheap. Very cheap.

The pair are £25.

Seriously, just do what you've got to do.

Just do what you've got to do.

-This will win the show for you, trust me.

-Do you know what...

OK, there you go.

These beads work, I tell you, because I'm loving it.

Enjoy and win the show, OK?

Well done for those ten minutes in and one item down.

But the Reds could be closing in.

-How about that, Trish?

-I quite like that.

-Marie?

-Oh.

-What do you think?

-That's sweet.

-That's nice.

I don't know whether you are chintzy girls.

-I like that.

-Why?

It is just appealing to me.

Look at the transfer of the flowers, it's almost quite... I don't now.

-It's quite pretty.

-Yes.

-Wacky, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-What is it?

-Well, it's a condiment.

-Exactly.

-No spoon.

-That doesn't matter.

You could easily find a mustard spoon to go in there.

-A bit of flower power, girls?

-Yeah, absolutely.

-Your era, flower power, the '60s.

-CHUCKLING:

-Yeah.

What is the metal?

Is electroplate nickel silver, because it says so there - EPNS, OK?

There we go. I know a few things.

-But I like it because it is quite angular.

-Yes.

And also, dare I say it,

-it has, like you two, style.

-Oh, wow.

Smooth, Carlos, very smooth.

-Good spotting.

-What was it worth?

-£12.

-You saw the price, didn't you?

-That's cheating!

-Shall we go for that one?

-Yeah, absolutely.

Do you want to make an offer?

-What's your best price on this, please?

-Ten.

-Ten pounds?

-BOTH: Yeah.

-There is a little mustard spoon here if you wanted to.

Oh, is there?

-Well, we need a mustard spoon.

-There you go.

-Oh, perfect!

-Oh, that would fit, lovely.

-Put it in there.

You've got a nice fit.

-It was ten pounds, it would now cost?

-£12.

-Look at me...

-It would now cost?

-Ten and two.

-Ten pound plus two.

-Yes.

-Happy?

-Yes, happy.

-It's a marriage?

-Yes, it is.

-Made in heaven.

-We'll take it all.

-Thank you very much. Lovely.

-£12.

-Thank you.

-Nice job.

-Thank you.

-Excellent, we're off and running!

-I like your style.

-Thank you.

Well done, Reds. The girls are cruising now.

Both teams have one apiece and are 20 minutes into their shop.

Meanwhile, the Blues are reminiscing over

a mid-20th-century film projector.

Years and years ago, we had one at my grandad's.

You just had to wind it.

You used to plug it into the lamp, the bayonet.

Everyone I have ever seen it's chewed the film up.

That's why they stopped making them.

That's why video games...

Not like today's technology.

Oh, hang on, the Reds have spotted something familiar.

-Oh, look at this.

-Petrol tanks, yeah.

So you'd sit there, wouldn't you, like that, riding, is that right?

-Yes.

-And you'd be on the back here, holding like that?

-No, we don't hold.

-It's not cool to hold.

-Not on Harley's.

Charles, you are so uncool.

Do you fancy buying a bit of memorabilia of a Harley nature,

-then?

-No.

-No.

-OK, leave you to it.

Thanks. Just trying to give you a little, you know...

Oh, it is a tank-less job sometimes, eh, Charles?

Meanwhile, Paul had stumbled across a different type of tank.

There is a problem with this, but I like it straightaway.

What, the problem is that it is split and it will leak?

No, the problem is this hoop here is missing. So the foot is gone.

But what do we have left?

We've got a tankard, a novel tankard,

modelled as a staved barrel,

silver hoops and handle. Lovely set of assay marks.

Looks like Mappin & Webb made it.

Were they not silversmiths to the Queen at one point?

They had the Royal Warrant, didn't they?

I thought you didn't know anything about antiques.

Yeah, John.

I remember that from a Guinness Book Of Records in the 1970s,

and they made a golden bikini for some young lady.

That's the only reason I can remember that.

Naughty.

1920s.

-Steve.

-I like it.

-Even with cracks and bits missing?

-Yeah.

It has got to be worth 30 to 50 quid, hasn't it? All day long.

I'd like a pint out of that.

I tell you what, ask me what I think it would be worth

if it was all there.

What do you think it would be worth if it was all there?

150 quid.

-All day long.

-Do you reckon?

-Yeah. All day long.

Hey, you boys are good.

Anthony!

Oh, hello, it's our fellow with the beads again.

I can't better the previous one.

It is a fabulous price, and I know there's a part missing

-from the bottom...

-There is.

-..but just take it when I tell you the price.

-Go on.

£40.

The law of errors, you've looked after us before.

Yeah, and I think I am looking after you now, very much so.

-Never...

-Can I tell you, if it had a bottom on it,

it would be £150.

-That's what we just said!

-He just said that very same sentence.

And I know nothing about this stuff.

-See, I'm just guessing. OK?

-Thanks once again, sir.

-Thank you.

We're going to wear your hand out at this rate.

Crikey, are these chaps ever going to venture away from this store?

You do know there is a whole fair out there, don't you?

Now, how are Charlie and his angels getting on?

-Ladies.

-Yes!

-This is a big one.

It certainly is, Charles.

I like that.

Excuse me, sir, how much is this?

-Ten pounds.

-Ten pounds.

Do you know what, I love it because you have got this

sort of format of a cathedral and it is what you call

Staffordshire pottery mantelpiece pocket watch holder.

Just hold it there because, Trish, back in the heyday of 1870,

a gentleman would come home from work in middleclass England,

you'd take your pocket watch off your fob and then put it

-just behind here, where it would sit maybe on a mantelpiece.

-OK.

-I haven't seen a bigger one before of this type.

-OK.

So to me, it is quite rare.

You have got a big crack across here.

You know, I am an old-fashioned guy here.

And, Trish, don't forgot, it is a true antique. Which is...?

-Over 100 years old.

-Yeah.

And to me, for a tenner, it is a guaranteed profit.

Are you sure? What would it make?

I'll be very disappointed if it doesn't make £35 to £45.

-What do you think?

-I think we should go for it.

I'll trust you, and we'll go for it.

-Yeah?

-Get on then.

-I really rate it.

-If you really rate it, Charles...

I have to say, if you rate it, then great.

-I would personally have walked past it.

-Sold?

-Sold.

-Yeah.

Sir, we will take it. Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure if the girls are with you on this one, Charlie boy. Psst!

So, girls, what are your thoughts?

-It's awful!

-I wouldn't give it house room.

-It is cracked to pieces.

-It's junk.

-Yeah.

-I think they are really quite impressed.

I think they can see I am a discerning expert who likes

traditional antiques. And I think they're quite impressed.

Are you sure about that?

It's a typical ju...

-But if it makes a profit, then hey-hey.

-Exactly.

-Cos if it doesn't...

-We are coming after him.

-Yeah, we are.

One more thing to find.

The chintzy stand is just a little runner,

but hopefully now the big one is coming up,

the big find to really impress the girls with some glamour.

Well, time to pull something out of the old bag, Charles.

Maybe some reputation and a touch of dignity.

40 minutes in and two apiece for our teams,

a perfect time for me to motor off.

How do you fancy a bit of automobilia?

Well, if you do, you might fancy this. What is it?

Well, it kind of says it on the face.

Because we have got two scales here.

The one on the left says pounds per tonne

and the one on the right says gradient one in.

And if I tilt it one way, it acts as an inclinometer

and you see a change in reading.

And if I tip it the other way, ditto.

All of that happens in an instrument that is precision made.

The bezel itself is bright chromium plated and we have got two

little holes here, look, with a square bit in the middle.

And glory be to God,

this thing still has the original key attached to a piece

of string that you put into those holes

so that you can recalibrate each of the gauges as necessary.

And it was used for assessing the performance of your motorcar

because the left-hand scale represents pulling power.

Depending on the gradient that you were going up or down,

you could assess the pulling power of your car

and whether it was running efficiently and effectively or not.

What did it cost? Well, off a stall, it could be yours for £40.

That has to be cheap.

I reckon this thing in the correct automobile section of a sale

could realise as much as £250 to £400.

Now, that is what you call pulling power.

Back to the fair. And it is horsepower versus pedal power.

The teams have 15 minutes left and one item each to find.

Hold on, the Blues haven't even left that tent yet.

You're having a right rummage, Steve, aren't you?

I just look up and you're...

Where is Paul? I need to get his opinion on it.

Paul! Paul!

-What do you think of this?

-Just that? No.

-No.

See, he could tell from that far away how bad it was.

So, the Blues are struggling a bit.

And with only ten minutes to go, the Reds need to get motoring, too.

Oh, look at that!

-Oh, look at that!

-We've got to get going.

-Come on!

Get on the back.

# Get your motor running. #

-Sit on the back?

-Come on.

-Hold on, I think three is a crowd here.

Hold on. I can't get moving anywhere. It is 450, this bike.

-How much?

-450.

-£4.50?

-£450.

-Get off it quick.

# Born to be wild! #

Maybe you're born to be mild, hey, Charlie?

So, our cyclists have finally left the tent.

Come on, lads, one item to go.

-An accordion. Awesome!

-Look at that.

I want it.

-That is just a thing of beauty, isn't it?

-You like it seriously?

-Are you being...?

-I'm the guy who's got a jukebox at home.

I get the aesthetic then.

-Um...

-But you are never, ever going to sell that.

It is worth 40 on a bad day, 80 on a good day.

Ask what the price is. If the price is 20 or 30 quid,

you're going to go, "Well, seriously?"

HE PLAYS THE ACCORDION

I think you are probably

-more than half the way there.

-I'm in love.

-You're in love?

-You have got a problem, you do know that, don't you?

-Yeah. Yeah.

Ask the price.

Can you not spend any money with anybody else?

No, I don't mind.

This thing of...possibly debatable beauty.

This here, you can have it for £65.

Oooh...

-How much do you love it now?

-What are you thinking? Come on.

-How about 50?

-Where have you gone on it?

-50.

More generous than me, but that is an offer.

Is that an offer?

Can he retract it? You can't, that's bad manners.

I think it is 40 quid's worth to be honest with you.

-There are clearly issues with it.

-I tell you what you are going to do.

I am going to be very, very nice here and I'm going to say,

stand on Paul's advice and you can take it for £40.

Great. OK, you can let go now.

Awkward or what?

Have we just bought that for £40?

-What I do want you to do, when you win...

-Yeah.

-I want a share.

-Absolutely.

PAUL LAUGHS

You could have done a deal on a job lot with this dealer.

What a top stall holder, eh? And a top-shop team. Well done.

All three items are bought.

I'm thinking with that beer tankard,

-I think we need to sell the brewery.

-Fill it.

-Are we going?

-Let's do it.

-Come on. Well done, guys.

Cheers, chaps.

Right, girls, five minutes left on the clock,

time to get your motors running.

-Charles.

-Yes.

-What do you think to that to the back?

-Yeah.

I mean, again, you girls like striking objects, don't you?

It is a clock garniture.

I suspect the actual pottery is Continental.

It could be French or German. It is 1920s.

I love the fact that the three are altogether still.

And if you have an Art Deco home, it will...

it would sit so well on that oak 1920s fireplace.

My only issue I can see... What can you see from where you are?

On the vases, it looks like there is some sort of cracked glaze.

-Oh, right, on the top of that one on the right.

-I love the form.

That radiating blue and red form is what you call an anthemion.

Good luck. How much?

-Don't know.

-Let's find out.

-Excuse me. Hi.

How much for the garniture set?

It can be... I wanted 50 for it, it can be £40.

Could it be 30 because it has a chip in it?

You drive a very hard bargain.

She does.

-Yes, I'll do that for you.

-I love you.

-Again?

-Is four a crowd? Is four a crowd?

-You can come in.

-I agree.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

Well, this is all very cosy, team,

but time to put the brakes on because time is well and truly up.

Let's check out what the Reds bought, eh?

First up was the cracking cruet sets. They paid £12.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The next purchase was the watch holder, for ten pounds.

And finally, they spent £30 on the Deco garniture set.

-OK, girls, this is fun, isn't it?

-It is.

-Yes.

-Now, which is your favourite piece?

-It's the condiment set.

-OK.

-And for you, Marie?

-The same.

-OK, very good.

-Yes.

-And is that going to bring the biggest profit, Marie?

-Yes!

-Yes, it is.

-Definitely.

-It is all condiment set with you, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-It is.

-All seasoning.

-A bit of spice.

-And pep. OK.

-And how much did you spend in total?

-£52.

-On the whole lot?

-Yeah.

You are girls, you go out shopping with £300 and you only spend £52.

It is the first and it probably will be the only time that has ever

-happened.

-I rather suspect that is the case, Trish.

Anyway, please may I have £248 of leftover lolly?

Thank you very much. Lovely nails.

248...

248... £248?

It frightens me, Tim.

-It frightens me! You'll need security.

-Absolutely.

-Exactly.

Anyway, that is not all, you've got

Tim's tonne coming out of the tum.

Oooh!

-Especially for you, Charles.

-It's still warm!

It's a little baby Tim!

It happens to be £100 and it is yours to spend wisely,

as I know you will do.

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

Their first by was the pair of Chinese table lamps.

They paid £25.

Next up, they paid £40 for the oak and silver tankard.

And lastly, they are hoping to hit a high note at the auction with

the accordion. They paid £40.

-OK, chaps, did you have a fantastic time?

-We did, yeah.

-Awesomely good, yeah.

-Awesomely good!

-Absolutely.

And now, Jonathan, tell me, which is your favourite piece?

-It's...the accordion.

-Is it? And do you agree with that, Steve?

No, I, um...

-I prefer the tankard.

-Do you?

-Yeah.

Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit do you think, Steve?

-I still think the tankard.

-Lovely.

And what do you think is going to bring the burst?

Got a sneaking feeling it'll be the lamp bases

cos I don't like them. Usually when I don't like something,

-it's worth a fortune.

-OK, fine. That's logical.

-Kiss of death.

-How much did you spend in to-to?

-105.

£105, I'd like £195 of leftover lolly, please.

-There you go.

-£195. Thank you very much, Steve, my friend.

That goes straight over to Paul Laidlaw,

who has got a double challenge today because it is a special programme

and he gets Tim's tonne - the extra £100 to buy the extra

bonus buy, which hopefully he'll find in a minute or two.

Good luck, Paul, with that multiple task.

Meanwhile, how is young Carlos getting on with his first bonus buy?

So, for Maria and Trish, my concern is I've got so much to spend,

I've got £248 which is frightening

because Mr Wonnacott likes to see good spends.

I don't dare spend, like, £40 or £50.

If I said to you, I have got £248,

could I buy that?

-Not for that money, you couldn't.

-Look at me.

This is a gorgeous porcelain plaque.

This is probably almost certainly Berlin.

Put it down, Charles, it's too expensive.

There we are. Mother's spoken. Back to loss. Oh, she's nice.

Now, what we have got here is a gorgeous lady.

She is an oval porcelain probably bohemian... How much is she?

-It has got 290.

-Really?

-What was your budget? Remind me.

-Would you take 220?

-No.

Honest to goodness, I've been battling with this Italian.

Look at me. She's gorgeous, almost a similarity there as well,

in this flowing locks.

What is your best price?

Look, I'll take 230 cos I don't want to have another argument

with my Italian.

I think she is really nice and sometimes in the market

for such commercial wares, you have got to speculate. That is a sale.

-Thanks ever so much.

-Thanks.

-230. 230.

What about that extra £100 for Tim's tonne?

What has caught my eye is this jockey here.

Is it a car mascot?

-It is indeed. Yes. From the 1950s.

-Isn't that neat?

This, to me, is a really popular object in the auction market

at the moment.

I think for the girls, it's shiny, it's quite glamorous

and it all depends, really, if it falls within Tim's tonne.

-How much is it, please?

-Well, it is competitively priced.

£125.

The best I could do would be 100.

-Really?

-Yeah.

Ordinarily, dealers give 10%, and that is quite right,

-but you are saying I can have this for £100?

-Yes.

And that falls within Tim's tonne. Thanks a lot, I'll take it, sir.

-Good luck.

-Thanks a lot. Brilliant.

Very good, Mr Hanson.

Both bonus buys bought. Has Paul made any purchases yet?

Remember, Paul, you have £195 of leftover lolly

and the additional £100 from Tim's tonne.

I am looking to spend some of Steve and John's leftover lolly.

They bought a cracking pair of lamps.

But I have got an altogether different kind of lamp.

Yes, it's me and it is military, but, look, it is a hot market

and I have expertise in that field, and I generally get it right.

Forget your table lamps, this is for signalling.

And we look down here to another ship, which through the fog

and the rain is... How old else are we going to communicate?

There they are. That's the ship.

And I've got a trigger here and a big bulb in there.

Morse, simple as that.

I need a bargain to save our souls. It is all labelled up.

It is Second World War dated.

And it is probably one of the better examples I've seen.

That said, they are not uncommon and they are not uber glamorous.

It would have to be cheap. Well, I'll find out.

Hurry off and have a haggle, then, Paul.

Yours for £25.

I'd reckon that's worth £30 to £50 all day long.

Great stuff, that'll do.

And as they say in the Navy...

MORSE CODE BEEPING

Don't you agree?

Now, I've got Tim's tonne to spend, and I want to spend it well.

What do we have?

It's a Victorian silver cased half hunter fob watch,

complete with a huge guard chain.

Price-wise, well, there is no price on this material.

I would like to get this for half of Tim's tonne,

to be honest with you.

To stand a good chance at making money.

But it is worth asking, yeah? Give me two ticks.

Two ticks, ha. Let me be in charge of the puns, thank you, Paul.

Well, I've parted with my cash.

I've paid all of £60 for this.

Profit? Oh, I hope so. I think so, too.

Great!

Well done, Paul, just the ticket.

Now, before the auction, I think this may be a good time for me

to pop off and look at some tickets of a different variety.

I am in the Jeffrey Museum in the East End of London today,

set within arms houses,

which were built in 1714 for the benefit of the elderly and needy.

They were acquired by the London Borough Council in 1914

to establish this museum, which tells the story of everyday

life from the 1600s to the present day.

All the interiors through the museum,

in all their varieties of styles,

have been furnished with pieces

that have been bought at auction or from a dealer.

And unlike, say, a piece of silver which is hallmarked

or a painting which is signed,

furniture is incredibly difficult to place as to who made it

and where it came from unless you are lucky enough to find

a piece of furniture with a label.

This room dates from the 1690s and is dominated down at this

end by a rather interesting piece of furniture designed

for storage of your little precious and also for writing.

On the face of it, this flat front doesn't scream writing, does it?

But if we open the front, though...

It reveals the most gorgeous fitted interior.

This type of furniture is called an escritoire or scritoire.

And the cabinet maker has created a fitted interior with all

sorts of interesting bits.

A row of pigeonholes with pull-out sections.

A central tabernacle-type door.

A very practical and convenient piece of furniture.

For most people buying a piece of 17th-century walnut

furniture, that is about it.

Except in this case, there is a further surprise.

Inside the drawer, pasted, is a miraculous survival -

an original makers label.

The maker here is John Guilbaud - "cabinet maker at the Crown

"and Looking Glass," which I guess is a pub, in Long Acre, in London.

So he is a London cabinet-maker.

And effectively,

he is advertising his wares by sticking this label

inside the piece of furniture and positively identifying it for us

and future generations as a result.

How important is this label?

Well, it transforms this piece of furniture into the earliest

known piece of English furniture with a label. Ha!

And that is pretty important.

Now, let's travel 50 years. Just like that!

And we find ourselves in a reconstructed interior

of a room as it might have looked

around 1740 to 1750,

basically at the height of the Georgian period of elegance.

One of the earliest pieces in this room is this chair.

And if you look at the back in relation to other

backs of chairs in this room, it is a peculiar shape.

Very, very plain, upright.

And then on a traditional early Georgian base with cabriole legs

and nice turned stretchers.

The interesting thing for us, though, lies hidden within.

If you are sharp-eyed and eager, if you are viewing a sale,

take out the drop-in seat and look at the frame that is revealed.

Because if you are really sharp, as in this case,

you might spot one of those - a label for Old and Oddy.

Old and Oddy, London chair makers.

And here we can see the vestige of one of their labels that has

had a later red stencil that says J5 painted over the top.

That is a label that looks utterly genuine to me.

It is in the right place. It has suffered some damage.

And would form part of the 1% of English furniture

that has got identification of this type, which

makes it really, really rare.

The big question today for us, though,

is are our teams going to make their own mark over at the auction?

Well, we've stayed in the County of Lincolnshire just gone a tad

south to Bourne to be at Golding, Young, Mawer's saleroom

-with Colin Young. Hello, Colin.

-Good to see you, Tim.

Very nice to see you too.

Now, the Reds first of all what with that miserable-looking cruet.

-Yeah.

-My least favourite object, I have to say.

-Very chintzy, isn't it?

Yeah, it is, really. Not in great condition.

It's got some paint on it, but they only paid £12.

Well, they're fine then. I put an estimate of 10 to 30,

so it might make a profit.

Next is the Staffordshire watch holder. Completely smashed top.

Lots of bits missing. Will you be able to sell it

for a £5-note do you think?

-I think we well.

-Do you?

-Yeah, big, bold estimate on it.

Let's go for broke, seeing as it already is, of £25 to 40.

You never know, somebody might go for it.

Well, that's a good strategy, Colin. Thank you.

They paid £10 for it and in my book,

they'll be jolly lucky to get their money back.

And the last item is the really, really cheap clock garniture.

Yeah, it's very cheap, very poor quality and of course,

there's damage on it as well.

Yep, with a combination like that got to be worth £10 a unit,

so I put an estimate of £30 to 50.

-Well, actually it only needs to make more than £30.

-OK.

So, maybe didn't do too badly paying £30 for that.

But overall, it is a package that doesn't inspire me

in which case the excitement may come from the bonus buys.

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

OK, team, this is fun, isn't it?

-Two bonus buys.

-Yes.

You spent practically nothing, you girls, £52.

You gave £248 to Charles, a massive amount.

Charles, what did you buy?

-I went really big, OK?

-I can see that.

I only had £18 left over after my buy.

-So I spent 230.

-230?

-OK.

230 on this most wonderful, wonderful of antiques,

with a huge capital A. Look at that!

Oh...

-Isn't she gorgeous, you know?

-£230!

-She's a floozy.

-Sorry?

-She's a floozy.

-Why is she a floozy?

She's got her boobies out.

Oh, yeah, well, I think that's part of the attraction really.

She's painted on porcelain.

She's Continental and all the more important

is the fact that she is German, Berlin.

And she will date to around 1870, 1880. And just look at her.

Look at her eyes. Look into her.

-Look deep.

-Look deep.

-She's meaningful.

-I'm looking at £230!

-Yeah.

Hand on heart, on a really, really racy day, she could make £400.

On a really bad day, hand on heart, she could make 80.

So, we either take on a journey or we don't?

-What are you giggling about, Marie?

-Well, it's £230 for this!

So, I'm not sure the girls are that convinced.

What about Colin, the auctioneer?

Right, then, Colin. There we go.

The most desirable of porcelain plaques of this type

are supposed to be Berlin and that's a Berlin one.

-So, it's got to be well painted, isn't it?

-It is.

You can just see the quality oozing from it. It's a...

just a really nice face that's painted.

The locks... Just everything about it and...

and she's a very pretty lady.

Charles Hanson spent £230 on this and he really rates it.

I wouldn't rate it there. I've put estimate on this now of...

80 to 120.

-Oh, right.

-It is a long way away from it, but if it made double,

triple that...

Yeah, I could see why.

We will have to wait and see, but remember we have Tim's tonne.

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

Tell the girls about what you bought this time.

Yeah, auctions very much is a canter.

It can be a gallop to the finishing line,

so I thought for the auction here in Bourne, Lincolnshire,

this wonderful racing horse or car mascot, chrome plated, and French,

and probably 1930s, might take your fancy. Look at me.

-Go nice on a motorbike, wouldn't it?

-Yeah, absolutely.

-I was just thinking that right now.

-Guess what it cost me.

-30 quid.

-Sorry?

-30 quid.

-Times by three, add a tenner. 100.

-It was £100.

Yeah, it was £100.

-Right.

-I quite like it. Actually, I quite like that.

To me, I think it might make 100 to 150.

-OK.

-Yeah. Happy?

-BOTH: Yes.

-Oh, good.

Anyway, treasure the moment cos right now we're going to check

with the auctioneer whether he likes Charles' bonus buy.

Now it's a very common example that does come to auction.

We've had many, many of these.

Sometimes there actually polychrome finished as well as just

being in that sort of chrome solid finish.

And, you know, you can get over £100 for the coloured ones,

but these ones generally £40 to 60.

They can make a fraction more than that,

but they are fairly much stayed and stable market.

Are they? OK.

Well, Charles, bless him,

paid £100 for it and therefore, he may have gone over the top.

On these programmes, I have a choice,

which one of the two bonus buys do I think in proportion

to the price paid will make the best money

and I have to say I distrust the Berlin plaque

because of the subject and I've gone with the car mascot. There we go.

Now, that's it from the Reds. Now moving on to the Blues.

We have a pair of Chinese hardwood table lamps, which are chunky

-and really quite nicely carved, aren't they?

-They are.

They are not too bad. There's a few splits down some of them,

but overall, the image is good.

Maybe £40 to 60 for them. How does that sound?

Very good. £25 paid. I think it's remarkable.

We now move on to the silver mounted oak tankard,

-which I think is beautiful object, actually.

-It is.

I mean, those things are always really popular.

OK, it's not in the greatest order.

There's some big splits down it, but nevertheless,

there should be plenty of people bidding £40 to £60 for it.

OK. Mappin & Webb, 1924, solid silver, honest English oak,

£40 paid. I mean, that could easily make £60 or 80 or 90, couldn't it?

-Yeah, very easily.

-If the silver trade take a shine to it.

-Yeah.

-That is quite a cool object.

-Yeah.

Next is the piano accordion.

Not so sure about that.

-Been well-used, hasn't it?

-It has.

It's been strummed a few times as they say.

And I think really condition-wise,

-it's not good. I've put an estimate of 40 to 60 on it.

-OK.

£40 they paid and based on those estimates,

this team is going to do jolly well.

They're going to need their bonus buys,

but let's go and have a look at them anyway.

OK, guys, special day. Double bonus buy.

The team's bonus buy, Paul had £195 to spend.

Show us what you bought, Paul, please.

-Come see this hardware here, chaps.

-Oh!

-OK.

It comes in its transit case, but what do we have there in?

We have... Well, what do you think they have?

A lamp from a battleship where they signal.

-You're good! You're good!

-I've seen a few war films.

That's exactly what we've got and Aldis type signalling lamp.

This is an admiral... A Royal Naval issued piece.

And our little signaller using Morse, he spies the other vessel

and he's signalling away, yeah? Or ship to aircraft, yeah?

What do you think of that? Striking object! But very evocative.

How much did you blow?

-£25.

-What?

-How much?

-£25!

I'm guessing there's like a really big following for military

-stuff, isn't there?

-There is. There is.

I suspect it's only going to make £30 to 50.

But that one, you're doubling your money.

In Bargain Hunt world, that works for me.

Well, there you go. You've got his estimate then. Maybe 30 to 50.

He paid £25. That's the team's bonus buy sorted out.

Let's get Colin's thoughts.

Right then, Colin. I hope this is going to send you the right signal.

Ah! It is. Something I recognise.

-I've had a few of these through the sales.

-Have you?

-Mm.

-Gosh, I've never seen one before. What fun!

-Really?

-No.

-Ah.

In fact, we've had them in fairly recently on the basis

of the last two we've sold. One made 25, one made 38.

So, my estimate today is £25 to 38.

That's a very precise message.

-You could almost send it in Morse. Ha!

-You could.

Anyway, it's a typical Paul Laidlaw purchase.

It comes with a kind of carrying box. He paid £25 for it.

He really rates it.

'Excellent, let's hope the buyers will be in the room then.'

Now we move on to Tim's tonne, which Paul Laidlaw's going to reveal now.

-Well, I give the... A combination lot here.

-It's nice.

Cos we have a little silver half hunter.

And that in its own right is a pretty, little watch,

but with it we have rather a substantial Belcher link. Whoa!

-Well, that ain't an Albert, is it?

-Nope!

-Depending on your girth, of course.

-Ha!

This is a guard chain.

This is how a lady carries her fob watch.

And indeed, this is rather a diminutive little affair, is it not?

In this instance, we've got a bit of substance there. You feel that.

That's a good silver guard chain. Here you go. Yours for...

-£60.

-60 quid.

-Right.

-Lovely. Well, there we go. Thank you, chaps.

Plenty of choice. Right now, though, let's find out from the auctioneer

for the benefit of the viewers at home what he thinks.

Now for Tim's tonne, and he's bought the silver watch and chain.

That's rather nice. So we've got the silver half hunter.

So, it's a quite nice little thing.

I mean, that's got a be worth a good sort of,

-I suppose, £35, 45 on its own.

-Yes.

Then we stopped the chain to go with it as well,

which is quite a long chain.

I suppose, it's more the sort of muff-type chain

-or long guard, they are often called.

-Yes, they are.

That's quite nice. So, I'm going to go with 40 to 60

and that should get everybody excited.

OK, well, fine. Thanks very much for that. £60 was paid.

I have to make my prediction

and my prediction is that the Aldis lamp will be the piece

that would be likely to bring the most profit.

It's a flip of the coin between the two of them.

Excellent. And you'll be doing the flipping. Thank you, Colin.

Right, now, Mr Young, grab your gavel and give it a go.

Let's get this sale under way.

GAVEL BANGS

Now, Marie, Trish, here we are. We are on the edge of the auction.

-Isn't this exciting?

-Yes.

-It is exciting.

-You can't wait, can you, Marie?

-No!

-No? Quite right, me neither.

OK, now, first up is going to be the Newport pottery cruet set.

-Here it comes.

-Good luck.

-Yes!

There we go. Lovely chintz pattern to this with a plated mount on it.

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

20. I'll take 10 to go then. 10.

Anybody going to start me at £10 for it? 10, anybody at 10? Fiver to go.

Surely, fiver. Come on £1, then. 2 bid. 4 bid. 6 bid. 8 bid. 10 bid.

-12 bid. 15, 18...

-Yes!

-20 do I see?

£20? 20 bid. 22. 25. 5 bid? 22.

25... Another one at five? Have another one? No. 22.

Front row has it at 22. 5 is a last call then. Selling. All done.

-Yours, sir, at £22.

-Yes!

Plus £10. Well done, kids. Now, the watch holder.

There we go. A flat-back Fielding Group there.

Who's going to start me at £40 for it? 40.

£40. House your watch collection in that. £40, anyone. 40.

-30 to go, then. 30.

-Come on. Oh, come on.

All right, 20 to go.

We know it needs a structural survey.

-£20, anybody? £10 to go.

-Oh, it's painful.

-£10? 10 there.

10, 12 anywhere else now? 12 bid. 15 bid. 18 bid. 18 bid. 20 bid.

2 bid now. At £20 bid now. 2 now do I see? £20 bid. Any more now? At 20.

Last call. Done and finished at £20.

Yes! Plus £10.

-Well done for that.

-One to go.

-(Oh, that's fantastic!)

Now your garniture.

French Ceranord pottery clock garniture this time.

Who's going to start me at £80 for it? £80, anybody? 80. 80.

60 if you like. £60, anybody? 60?

Start me at 50, then. 50.

OK, then. Don't really want to go any lower than 30,

but 30 will do as a start if we've got to.

(Come on, please).

Anybody going to put me in at 30? 30 over there.

Now he's got it.

32 now surely. At 30 bid. 32 on the internet. 32.

35 now. No.

32 it's on the internet at 32. 35 now surely.

At 32. Last call. Done and finished and selling then on the net at £32.

Plus £2. Well done, girls, you've done it.

A profit on each object. This is now £22.

-Plus £22 and you get a Golden Gavel.

-Yes.

-And you spent practically nothing...

-Yeah.

-That seems to be the strategy.

Now what are you going to do with these two bonus buys?

Are you going to go with the Berlin plaque

-and risk £230...

-BOTH: No.

..or are you going to go with the mascot job and risk 100?

-I'll let you...

-No.

-What's that?

-No to either of them.

-OK fine. Good.

Well, you've made your decision - for better or for worse,

but we are going to sell both bonus buys.

And if the bonus buys realise a profit,

-then that profit will go to charity.

-Fantastic.

-Lovely.

That's the way it works. OK?

Now, I'm supposed to make a pick. Which one is going to bring

the biggest profit or the smallest loss?

And my assessment of that is today the mascot,

but first up is the porcelain plaque.

We're going to sell it and here comes.

An exquisite 19th-century Berlin porcelain plaque there. There we go.

What should we say for this one?

Who's going to start me straight in at bottom estimate 80?

Should be starting there. 50 to go then. 50. 50 with you. 50, 60 now.

Make it at 60. 70. 80. 90 now, do I see?

90? 100.

10 now. 110. 110. 120 now. 120.

-Come on now. Let's go.

-130 now. 30. 140.

-At 140. 150 now. 50. 160.

-Could move.

-170. 180. 190. 200.

-At £200 bid. At 200. 220. 240 now.

-Come on!

-220 bid.

It's the last call for you all. At 220. We are all done.

We're finished. It's on the market. I will sell at £220.

Marvellous. It's only minus £10. You are vindicated.

Your pick was right, Charles. Well done. Congratulations.

To within a whisker. Now, here comes the car mascot.

Who's going to start me at £100? 100, anybody? 100. 100.

80 to go then. Good condition. £80. 50 to go then surely.

-£50, anybody?

-Come on.

-£50, anybody? 40, if you like.

40, look at what we're selling. It's here to be sold. £40 bid.

5 do I see now? At £40 I'm bid now. 2 now surely. 42.

45. 45, thank you, madam. 45? 48. 48 bid.

50 now. £50 bid. 50. And 5?

55. Bid 60 now. 60. At £55 bid.

Anymore for the horse and jockey? 55 bid.

Is there 60 anywhere else now?

At 55. This is the last call then.

-It's an market on the end of the row...

-That's disappointing.

55, but it's minus 45.

But frankly our girls have made the right decision

despite unbelievable pressure being put upon them

-to pick one way or the other.

-Oh, yes!

-Our girls...

our girls remain pure and upright.

They walk away with a £22-profit, which is marvellous.

And neither of the bonus buys were much cop and neither was

my prediction as to which one of the bonus buys was going to do any good.

So, there we have it, but you girls are very, very smart, right?

-Yes.

-The thing is don't say a word to the Blues.

-No.

-No.

-We don't want to spoil their day. And...

-Well done. Thank you.

-Good luck.

-Yes, thank you.

Will it be a winning score on not? We'll find out in a minute.

-OK, chaps, this is riveting. Yes? You riveted, John?

-Utterly.

-Utterly riveted. And what about you, Steve?

-Excited.

-OK, fine.

Now, first up will be the hardwood lamps and here they come.

19th century Chinese hardwood table lamps

and who's going to start me at £80, please? £80, anybody? 80.

£80 some good quality carving there. 80. Then 50 to go then. £50 anybody?

50. 30 to go then. 30. £30 bid. At £30 bid, now two.

-Make 32 now surely. At £30.

-You are in profit already.

32, surely. At £30 maiden bid has it. Anymore now from the net?

From anywhere else now? At £30 bid. Maiden bid takes it then.

Not very exciting, is it? At 30 bid. Two now.

Surely somebody else is going to join in.

Nobody else is going to see the light?

And we're there at 30 bid. Selling at £30.

£30 is plus £5. Well done, chaps.

Now, the ale tankard...

-Here comes the ale tankard.

-The George V tankard this time.

There we go. A really, really lovely lot, this,

with the silver bounding around it.

And we start the bidding on this one, multiple bids,

I'll start at the lowest, which is 15 bid.

At 15 bid. 18 bid. 20 now.

20 bid. 22. 25. 28. Bid 30.

32. 35, 38 bid. At 38 bid. 40 now do I see? 40 bid.

-At 40. 42 now. At £40 bid.

-Come on, only £2.

Don't stick at 40.

Two now do I see? At £40 bid. Two anywhere else, then?

-Two.

-Come on, another couple of quid.

-Selling this time at £42.

-42's a profit. I don't care. It's a profit.

Plus £2. That's fair enough. Now...

You promised us a fortune off of that.

Hey, it is a fortune £2.

-Around these parts.

-I've been looking at houses abroad.

Round these parts, £2 is a fortune, all right? Now, come on, lads.

Here comes the accordion.

The Italian Soprani accordion this time. There we go.

Very nice looking accordion, this one. What should we say for this?

Who's going to start me at £80? We are at 80. 50 to go then. 50. 30.

20 to go then surely. £20, anybody? 20. £20. Anybody going to put me in?

-£20 you've all seen it...

-Oh, come on. That's less than £1 a key.

10 to go then. 10. £10.

-£10. On your bike, eh?

-Anymore than? £10.

-You joking.

-No.

Is anybody going to make me an offer? 10 over there. 10.

We are in at 10. He wants to get home early.

If I couldn't get it early... 12! Late surge in the bidding

right in the back at 12. 15. 18 now.

I knew we shouldn't have gone for the accordion.

No. That was short-lived, then.

At 15 bid. We are back at the front then,

but it is on the market.

It is going to sell at £15.

£15 he sold it for, which is minus £25 and you had seven.

You are now minus £18.

You're minus 18, right? Let's not be gloomy about this.

It's a great shame. It started out very nicely,

but the accordion let us down.

-That's my fault.

-So, we are now on with the bonus buys.

-Fortunately, we've got two of them. How lovely is that?

-Yeah.

You got the Aldis signalling lamp, which is risking you 25,

or you've got the watch and chain, which is risking you 60. Or neither.

Do you think you want to go with either bonus buy?

That's the first decision.

-I think we should kind of stick with that.

-Stick with that?

-And still...

-Yeah, we can still win with that.

-Stick with minus 18?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, we can still win.

-Come on, grow some.

-Let's go for silver, then.

-Silver, then?

-Yeah.

-Go ahead and do it then.

-Silver.

-That's your choice.

-That's your pick. You're going with it, quickly, or not?

-Yes.

-Yes.

Yes, we are going with the silver half hunter.

First up, though, is the Aldis lamp.

And we are going to sell that

and if it makes a profit, we'll give the profit to charity, all right?

-OK.

-OK.

-So, the team's bonus buy is coming up and here it comes.

Signalling lamp. There we go. The signalling lamp there.

What should we say for this? A lot of interest in this already.

Who's going to start me at £40 for it? 40. 30 to go then, surely.

£30, anyone? 30. 10 to go then. 10. 10. 12. Make it 12.

15, 18, 20 bid, 22, 25, 28. 28 bid. 30. At 32, 35, 38. 38 bid.

40 do I see now? 38 bid. 40 now surely. At £38 bid.

40 from anywhere else now? 40 surely. No, 38.

-It's a lady's bid there at the back. Selling that at £38.

-£38.

Anyway, there we go. Plus 13 to the lady who needs to send the signal.

So, you missed out on that one.

Now the next lot is the lot of silver and here it comes.

Victorian silver half hunter pocket watch

and you also get that wonderful guard chain to go with as well.

-"Wonderful guard chain."

-Multiple bids already.

They obviously know exactly what it's worth

cos I've got 42, 44, 46, 48 and 50.

And five. Who's joining in next? There's a lot of chain there.

At £50 bid. Five now surely. At £50 bid. Five surely. At 50 bid.

-I'll take two, then.

-A bit more.

-Come on, man.

Two anywhere else now surely. At £50.

All the bids are within a shilling of each other at 50.

Two do you have for me now? At 50?

Done and finished. I'll sell then at £50.

£50 is minus £10. Bad luck. Bad luck.

So minus 10 makes you minus 28.

-There we go. What a pity, eh?

-We can still win with that, though?

-Hm?

-We could still win with that.

-You could still win with minus 28,

but it's very difficult to make these picks, isn't it?

On this programme, I'm required to make a pick myself

between the two bonus buys.

And my pick today was the Aldis signalling lamp

cos I rated it slightly more than the silver watch and chain.

Anyway, there we are. Thanks, lads.

It means there's a profit going to charity, which is no downside.

So, that will go from the signalling lamp. Well done, Paul, for that.

Bad luck on the bonus buy,

but as you say minus £28 could be a winning score.

Say not a word to the Reds. All will be revealed in a moment!

Well, I feel some tension in the air.

In fact, you could cut the atmosphere in here

with a knife between these two teams.

Anyway, I have to reveal that there's quite a gap

between the two teams.

This is not going to go down terribly well.

Anyway, the runners-up today just happened to be...

the Blues.

THEY CHEER

-See what I mean?

-Yeah, it's not the winning, it's the second part.

It's exactly the sentiment that's in my heart here, John.

Anyway, John and Steve,

you unfortunately didn't have a great day in the auction.

And you finish up with a score which is minus 28,

but one of the things was you failed to pick the correct bonus buy,

the bonus buy that turned in the profit of £13.

So, that's £13, which I have about my person here,

I will congratulate Paul about because that was a good pick, Paul.

Thank you for finding it.

It will go to charity, so we are in a little win-win here.

I'm sorry, chaps, that you're not going home with folded money,

but the victors today who are going home by motor bicycle,

£22 is what the girls take.

There you go, girls. £22 which is just stunning.

-Thank you.

-You spent practically nothing. £52.

You made £22 worth of profit on £52, so that's an achievement

and you made a profit on all three items,

which gets you the Golden Gavel Award.

-Yes!

-The Golden Gavel Award, which is a very special thing.

-Thank you.

Take that one. And here we go. Thank you, Charles.

-To go for your collection.

-Thanks a lot. Absolutely.

-She's really nice.

OK, never have I seen two women look happier, which is really good.

-Charles, then you look pretty peaky yourself.

-Over the moon.

Anyway, had a good time? Yes, we have. OK.

So join us soon for some more bargain-hunting, yes?

ALL: Yes!
