0:00:02 > 0:00:04MUSIC PLAYS
0:00:08 > 0:00:12We're in Edinburgh today with two teams of musicians ready to
0:00:12 > 0:00:13battle it out.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18And today's special show is going to be a long player
0:00:18 > 0:00:21with 60 minutes' worth.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23But which team will be playing the pipes of victory?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Which team will strike the wrong note?
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Hah! Let's find out. Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00We should all know the rules by now.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03The teams have £300 and an hour to find three items to
0:01:03 > 0:01:06sell at auction, and the winners will be the team that make
0:01:06 > 0:01:10the biggest profit or the smallest loss, but...
0:01:10 > 0:01:15today we've tweaked the rules a bit, because instead of asking
0:01:15 > 0:01:19the experts to go out and find one bonus buy,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I'm going to ask them to find two,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25and then I'm going to have a look at the two and say which one
0:01:25 > 0:01:28I think is going to bring the biggest profit or the smallest loss.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33Will I get it right? Will the teams go with any of it?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Let's find out and have a quick squint as to what's coming up.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Are the harmonious girls in Red singing the sweet song of success?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- # Bah, bah, bah - Bah, bah, bah
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- # Bah, bah, bah - Bah, bah, bah. #
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Oh, wonderful!
0:01:50 > 0:01:53'And, are the Blues breaking the Bargain Hunt rules as they try
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- 'and busk their way to victory?' - HE PLAYS TUNE
0:01:56 > 0:01:58All right. Yeah, that's worth a couple of quid,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00isn't it? Yeah. Here!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04So, let's meet our all-singing and busking teams.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Well, on today's programme we are sure reaching for the high notes,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16because both of our teams are musicians. How exciting!
0:02:16 > 0:02:21For the Reds, we have Lesley and Linda, who are friends and singers.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24And, for the Blues, we have father and daughter,
0:02:24 > 0:02:29Dennis and Victoria, who are instrumentalists. Hello, everyone!
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Hello, Tim!- Now, Lesley, how did you two meet?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Linda and I met about 12 years ago
0:02:34 > 0:02:37when we both joined Forth Valley Chorus, which is
0:02:37 > 0:02:40a barbershop ladies' chorus based in Edinburgh.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- And your barbershop takes you places.- It does.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46We enter competitions regularly.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51In this country, we were in Newcastle and we won, and when you win,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54you then compete in America, so, last year, we were in Denver.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Next year, we're going to Baltimore, so we get around about.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Sounds like an excuse for a bit of a whizz to me.- It is.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02And, Linda, your talents aren't
0:03:02 > 0:03:04simply restricted to singing, are they?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07My husband's actually the musical director in the chorus,
0:03:07 > 0:03:11so, I tend to get involved in all the back scene stuff in the chorus,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14and Leslie and me are both on the costume team.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- So, you look after the frocks? - We do.- We try to.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22So, now, from singing to bargain hunting. What do you girls collect?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I do like the Art Deco period.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I think it's a very glamorous period, the 1920s and '30s.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Is that what you're going to be going for today on Bargain Hunt,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- do you think?- Ah, well, hmm... - We don't know.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- I think we'll look for that sort of age period...- Uh-huh.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- But, maybe a bit of glamour. - Uh-huh, a bit of sparkle.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- A bit of sparkle, yeah. - So, very good luck with that, girls.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Now...
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- Victoria...- Hello.- ..you and your dad are instrumentalists.- Yes.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Um...what do you play? - Guitar and violin, myself.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53And you were introduced to playing when?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56My dad used to take me a lot to his military band practice.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58There was a lady named June who played the flute and then,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01when the band would disperse for break, she would take her
0:04:01 > 0:04:04violin out and I would sit at the back and just listen to her play.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- And you fell in love with the violin.- Pretty much, yeah.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Now, it says here you've got a few military ambitions of your own.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Yes, I'm currently waiting to sit my test with the Navy Reserves
0:04:14 > 0:04:17and then, hopefully, crack on with them, really.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Test the water for it and then, if it's the life for me...
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Now, Dennis, you're an ex-military man...- I am.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- I can tell that by your upright bearing.- Thank you very much.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Not at all. Once a military man, always a military man.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31And now you play in brass bands.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Brass bands, pipe bands, jazz bands, Glenn Miller big band,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38and mainly the British Legion band in Edinburgh.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Out of the many instruments that you play, which is your favourite?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Clarinet.- Followed by?- Bagpipes. - Followed by?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Trumpet.- Followed by? - Valve trombone.- Followed by?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Banjo.- Followed by?- Accordion.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54There you go. I've covered a few of the instruments
0:04:54 > 0:04:55that you play one at a time...
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Yeah.- ..which is pretty impressive, actually.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Now, £300 apiece, there you go, £300.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02You know the rules, your experts await,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05and off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Play them one at a time, Sam.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Now, let's meet the experts,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12and dialling M for music...
0:05:12 > 0:05:17Catherine Southon is on song for the Reds, or should it be on call?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20And, on the lookout for the best bargains that money can buy
0:05:20 > 0:05:22for the Blues, it's Paul Laidlaw.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26So, stand by for a musical extravaganza, folks.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33My two singers, Lesley and Linda, what are our tactics for today?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Well, we are looking for jewellery.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Something silver, a wee bit glamorous, maybe.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Quite an ensemble we make. Is that going to flavour our shopping?
0:05:42 > 0:05:43It's certainly going to help.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I think we could busk or get the stuff for nothing.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- Let's go and sing our way to success.- Indeed!- Indeed!
0:05:49 > 0:05:50- Come on, let's go!- OK.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57And, just like magpies, the girls are drawn to the sparkly stuff.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58We've got all the girls here.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01We know that's a good sign for sparkly jewellery.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09That's quite nice, a little cigarette case, the RAF cigarettes.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Oh, no, it's a little powder compact.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Compacts can be collectable.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- That's quite nice. - I don't know, I'm not sure.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I think that's quite a nice thing, yeah.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Quite nice, but, perhaps not nice enough to buy, eh, Catherine?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- We were just looking at that wee thing there.- This little lady here?
0:06:25 > 0:06:30That's a good figure. She originally sat on top of a clock, I suspect.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Yeah, well, it wouldn't do us any 'arm would it?!
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Hey, hang on, I do the gags on this show.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Now, what have those Reds got their eyes on?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- That's quite nice.- Oh, I like that. - Isn't that lovely?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- Yes, I like that too.- So, we've got a magnifier...is it a magnifier?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- No, there we are.- Oh!- Put them on, oh, that's very theatrical!
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- It is, isn't it? Would you use these?- Absolutely.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Oh, yes!- Very intelligent looking! - Oh, yes, Lesley, I can see that.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Can you, really?- It's lovely, so, what is this?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01What is the handle made from?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- I don't think it's...- These are all...no, it's mother-of-pearl,
0:07:04 > 0:07:05which has been overlaid.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08The date of it is probably early 20th century,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- it might be sort of 1920s, something like that.- OK.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16These little folding glasses are known as lorgnette,
0:07:16 > 0:07:21and were often used more as fashion accessories than to correct vision.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23If you look at them, they're actually quite well made as well.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I mean, look at this little detail here with this little...
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Oh, yes, it's a little engraving there.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- How much are they? 48. That doesn't...- Oh!- Oh!
0:07:32 > 0:07:33I like those.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Well, I think we should wait. We should go in for...
0:07:36 > 0:07:37- Do you want to...?- 25.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- It is about making money, this programme.- I know, you're right.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43OK, we'll try for 25. I'll have a word with the stallholder.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46And see if you can get it for as...
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Now, has Paul found a little something to set the Blues on fire?
0:07:52 > 0:07:57- That is a cigar lighter from a very rich table.- OK.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00"I say, old chap, pass me the cigar lighter." "There you go, old boy."
0:08:00 > 0:08:03So, there's a little wick in here and you can see how it works then.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- A bit of paraffin in there.- Yes. - And pass it from one to the other.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11- It's priced at 95.- At the auction?
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- Hmm. It's worth 50 to 70. - Can we get it...?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18There's a job of work to be done, but there's nothing the matter with
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- that, it's a good object. - compare it to this, Paul.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Let's have a look. What have you got? A hatpin box, do you reckon?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- A hatpin...definitely a hatpin box. - Value on that?
0:08:26 > 0:08:2750 to 70 again.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I think you...do you know, I think you'd get away with that!
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Aye. And what price have you got on them?
0:08:32 > 0:08:3685 would be my best on that one, 75 on that hatbox.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- 75 on the hatbox.- We're struggling at that though,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- if you're 50 to 70.- Yeah.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45'It doesn't sound like the price of either of these items
0:08:45 > 0:08:47'is right, Blues. Now...
0:08:47 > 0:08:49'how have the ladies got on with those specs?'
0:08:49 > 0:08:51How are you doing?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Well...she would only go down to 40.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Oh...- I know, I know. - I'd be happier under 40.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58I know, so would I.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00But, I'm thinking that we've definitely got
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- a bit of margin in that, I really do.- You do?- Yeah, I do.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Right, let's go for it, then. - Right, OK, a vote of confidence.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07- You can blame me.- That's fine.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Good work, Reds. £40 paid.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14So, are the Blue team any closer to making their first purchase?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- I was looking at that vase, Paul. - What were you looking at?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- That lamp in the corner.- I thought it was a cloisonne vase.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Close, champleve enamel. Chinese, bronze...
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Can I just check the prize, Bob?
0:09:25 > 0:09:31- That's the kicker.- It's 110, Dad. - 110.- Look at the light fitting...
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Yeah.- I can tell you it's not a new tourist bring-back,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37it probably dates to the second quarter of the 20th century.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41So, it's getting on for 100 year old, maybe. What's it worth?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- 80?- Yeah.- 60 to 80, maybe.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Cheap at 60 to 80, it has to be said. Ask what the lamp can be.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Excuse me, could you tell me what you can do on that?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- 90.- 90? £90.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Again, it's close. If you could get it for 80.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Will you make an offer or have a look? Do you want to inspect it?
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Now, I've got to say, you'd need an electrician to look at this.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07That's not a problem.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12Great form, a little ebonised wooden base, and I'm bang on for period.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14It's interwar, isn't it?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17We would like to buy it, but you're saying if we can get that for 80,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- we've got half a chance?- If you get it for 80, I think you have, I think
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- you've got half a chance. - Who's got half a chance, me or you?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- I think you're the man. - THEY LAUGH
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- He doesn't pass the buck, does he? - Don't encourage him!
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Sorry to pester you. We really fancy this...
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Could you do us a really good price at £80 and we'll shake your hand?
0:10:36 > 0:10:37- TRADER:- I could do it, yeah.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38- Wonderful!- Thank you.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Well done, Blues.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Now, the Reds are in danger of blowing their budget big-time!
0:10:44 > 0:10:48"Chinese garden silver mirror." Yes, well, we have good taste.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- You have good taste.- £1,295!
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Remember the budget!
0:10:53 > 0:10:56And the Blues have found a friend, also in blue.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Have you met my uncle?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00THEY LAUGH
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Who is that? Is that General Grant? Stonewall Jackson?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- I put an offer in for £150. - What?- What?
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Aye, I've said to the lassie, she's phoning him up for 150 quid.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- For a quarter of the asking price? - Aye.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14And three times more than it's worth?
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Three times?!
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Seriously! And you bid on that?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22I asked the lady to phone him for the £150 bid!
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Magic!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Nah! Madness!
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Now, Catherine has found another lady's accessory
0:11:27 > 0:11:29to go with the lorgnette.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- I've just picked this up. - Oh, I like it.- Oh, I like that.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Isn't she lovely? 1920s.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36But what's inside?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38This is going to be probably Bakelite, I would say,
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- but a little shoehorn.- Oh, how cute is that?- And a little boot-hook.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45But I really love...
0:11:46 > 0:11:50..£20! What an accessory!
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- I know!- Can you imagine ladies having that in their little bag?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Going off with their lovely eyepiece, the little glasses that
0:11:57 > 0:12:00we bought, having that in their bag, the shoe comes off.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02"Oh, dear! My shoe!" What do you think?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Yes, I think we should, definitely. - I'm liking the theme so far.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07How much do you think we could get for this?
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- I'm gobsmacked!- You've got to try... - I've never met anyone like you!
0:12:12 > 0:12:17- What do you mean? - I show you £20 and you want less!
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Well, you go for it this time.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Lesley, you're even more feisty, so you go for it this time.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Let's see what we can do.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Can you do it for 15?
0:12:24 > 0:12:25- TRADER:- No.- Fine.- 18.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27It's very rare to find these things in good condition.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- It's lovely, yeah. - It's really nice Bakelite...
0:12:29 > 0:12:32OK, let me just go back to them and say 18, maybe.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- She's got a smile on her face. - I have got a smile on my face.- Good.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- 18.- Oh, well, that's... - What do you think?- No, that's great.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- Are you happy with that?- It's so stylish.- It's lovely, it really is.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- I'm happy.- Are you?- Yes.- The team is happy.- The team is happy, yay!
0:12:45 > 0:12:50- We are such stylish ladies, aren't we?- We're very glam.- Very glam!
0:12:50 > 0:12:52And very modest 'n' all!
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Well done.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Well done indeed.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Now, are the Blues heading in the right direction with this compass?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Pointing towards a profit, do we think?
0:13:05 > 0:13:079-carat, wants to be Victorian, doesn't it?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Now, is it just stamped 9-carat, is it marked at all,
0:13:09 > 0:13:10does it have a date letter?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13These are all the questions that we want answered.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16They're rubbed, but it was at Birmingham and...
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Oh, it is rubbed!
0:13:18 > 0:13:21375, it's 9-carat gold.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26Compass works and that is a vacant carnelian, is the stone,
0:13:26 > 0:13:27- a carnelian matrix.- Good.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31In its day, it was a gentleman's watch fob
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- hanging off your Albert, your watch chain.- Yeah.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Today, it could hang as a charm, a pendant, I think
0:13:37 > 0:13:38it's broadly appealing.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- Yeah.- I like it, so the price is £48.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Do you know what, that's not dear and I don't often say that.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- Don't say that. - You've got a good eye.- Yeah.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54But we want to do a job of work, don't we? That's worth...
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- £40 to £60...- OK.- ..cautiously.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Ask him if he's in a good mood or a bad mood.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Are you in a good mood or a bad mood?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I'm...not in a giveaway mood!
0:14:04 > 0:14:06You're not in a giveaway...? Aww!
0:14:06 > 0:14:09What is the very best you can do for this for us?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I'll do it for 35. That's less than scrap, you can't lose.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15We're not going to push you any more. Are you happy with that?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Ecstatic! What about Vicky? You liked it in the first place.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- Yeah, but I've picked something already...- I don't mind.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24If you fancy that, shake the man's hand.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- The tension, the drama! - # Da, na-na-na! #
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Yes, please. Thank you.- Wonderful!
0:14:32 > 0:14:35So, the teams have bought two items apiece, and while the pressure
0:14:35 > 0:14:39is off them, it's now up to me to find something at the fair.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Now, the aneroid barometer is handy
0:14:49 > 0:14:54because, within it, there is a vacuum-filled chamber,
0:14:54 > 0:14:58and when the air pressure outside goes up or down,
0:14:58 > 0:15:04the weather changes, so the vacuum-filled chamber enlarges or
0:15:04 > 0:15:07contracts inside one of these.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12This particular one is made by one of the most prestigious makers
0:15:12 > 0:15:14in Britain - Negretti and Zambra,
0:15:14 > 0:15:19who were in business from about 1850 until about 1950. What's it worth?
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Well, the big one, in good condition by Negretti and Zambra,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26would cost you the thick end of £150.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30But what's in this little case next door? Intriguing, eh?
0:15:30 > 0:15:35Another barometer? No! Something much more interesting than that.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38It tells you on the outside what it is.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41It says it's a Weldon Range Finder.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Colonel Weldon, in the Indian Army around 1880,
0:15:45 > 0:15:49invented this thing because he had a problem.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53He couldn't tell, when firing his cannon at the enemy,
0:15:53 > 0:15:57exactly how far they were over there.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59So, to determine that distance,
0:15:59 > 0:16:03clever Colonel Weldon turned to trigonometry.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06He worked out, in this little gadget,
0:16:06 > 0:16:11three certain positions, which you can see through mirrors in prisms.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15You work out where those three angles join up,
0:16:15 > 0:16:18shove it through the cosine whatnot and that gives you
0:16:18 > 0:16:23the distance of the first point from where you're standing here.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27And what thrilled me was acquiring in one lot not one
0:16:27 > 0:16:33but two barometers, plus this range finder, for £200.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38And one of these in silver in a specialist sale made the top
0:16:38 > 0:16:42end of £1,000 two years ago.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Well done, Colonel Weldon!
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Now, back to the teams and how are Dennis and Victoria getting on?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59We're doing great. We've got two in the bag.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02We've got an item over there as a reserve.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Now, we want to get a big piece.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07That's the favourite, but I don't think Paul fancies it.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11We're comfortable with what we've bought and now we're slowing down.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16I've got a horrible feeling that we will be buying in the last minute.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Watch this space!
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Will do, Catherine. Now, back to the shop. Chop-chop!
0:17:21 > 0:17:27How are we doing? 25 minutes, we've got left. Oh, I like it!
0:17:27 > 0:17:31- It's musical!- Musical. It's extremely rare.- What is it?
0:17:31 > 0:17:38- Like a brooch, I guess.- Yes.- How much is on that?- Price at the bottom.- 185.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Oh, is it?- It's a lot of money.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47But you DO have a lot of money, as you've only spent £58 so far.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Meanwhile, as we head into the final 15 minutes,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53both teams seem to be losing their focus.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Dennis!- Coming, boss.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Lost her. Where is she?
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Does anyone look like they want to talk to us? No. Story of my life!
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- Do you like that?- No, I don't. - You're going sparkly and girly again.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Yeah, we're going sparkly and girly again.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- Some of these, I like, Linda doesn't like.- Please don't argue!
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- 12 minutes, ladies. - Right.- Right.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Now, being a multi-instrumentalist,
0:18:14 > 0:18:18it's only a matter of time before Dennis finds something to play with.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Here we go.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23HE PLAYS A JAZZY TUNE
0:18:26 > 0:18:29All right, that's worth a couple of quid. Yeah.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34Ha! I'm not sure busking's allowed in the Bargain Hunt rules, Paul.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Eat your heart out, Acker Bilk, eh?
0:18:39 > 0:18:44Meanwhile, the Red team have rumbled their expert Catherine.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Have you seen anything? Have you...? Crisis meeting!
0:18:48 > 0:18:53- Potential bonus buys!- Oh, really? - I'll break your noses.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- He said to come down and find you! - What have you found?
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- Oh, I like something, she doesn't like it.- You two are always arguing.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- No, we're not. - Er... Yes, you are.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08It's a standard lamp. A standard oil lamp.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12The reservoir sat in there in brass,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15copper, wrought iron...
0:19:15 > 0:19:20It's going to be 1860, 1870, but what's it worth?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Could you tell me how much this is, please?
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- Well, I was thinking 60.- It's too much.- It's within buying distance.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Right, let's come back to that and we've still got the silver box.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Make your mind up, Blues. Time is fast running out.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Nine minutes and counting!
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- SHE KNOCKS - Hello!
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- Is that what that is? - Ah, right.- Auctioneer's gavel.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44We're going to be hearing a lot of that at the auction
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- when they've sold our items for thousands of pounds.- Absolutely!
0:19:48 > 0:19:51You wish! Meanwhile, the Blues are um-ing
0:19:51 > 0:19:54and ah-ing about an easel at the same stand as the oil lamp,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57which they also can't make their minds up about.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Well, what's the price on that?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02To us.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04It should be about 300.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08But I might go 250, just to give you a chance.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I don't think that'll do us the money.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14So, it's going to be French, it's going to be late 19th century,
0:20:14 > 0:20:19it is...ebonized.
0:20:19 > 0:20:25Importantly, all the gilt metal elements...are there.
0:20:25 > 0:20:31I think it is a rich object for a Glasgow townhouse.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I think it's too much money.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38So, still no decision on the easel or the oil lamp. Tick-tock, eh?
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Seven and a half minutes. How did that happen?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I knew this was going to happen. I knew it. Have you seen anything?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Um... No.- No.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Oh, dear.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Now, unusually, laidback Paul Laidlaw is laying down the law,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55as we're just five minutes from time's up.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00Why are we walking past opportunities?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Because you guys liked the standard lamp
0:21:03 > 0:21:07and we were within striking distance.
0:21:07 > 0:21:13I went weak at the knees at the easel and I baulked at the price
0:21:13 > 0:21:16and now I'm thinking, "Do you know what?
0:21:16 > 0:21:20"Why don't we do a little bigger?"
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- What's the matter with the easel? - Um... The price?
0:21:24 > 0:21:29And with time running out, the Reds are finally on the case. Literally.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34- I think that's quite nice. I mean, think interior design.- Yeah.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- That's true. Like a coffee table. - Exactly! Coffee table.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Put a bit of glass over it.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Or on the top of your wardrobe. She's not with us.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46No, I actually quite like it.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- It's quite nice. I quite like it. - What age would this be?
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- I'd say probably about the same age. - It's £75. What do you reckon?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Oh, she's on the money again.- I think we should have something big.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Everything else is small. - Yes, quite good fun.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02No pressure, but three minutes.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- I'd rather go for that than the other piece.- Yeah? Let's go for it.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- We need to know the price. - We need to know the price.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- All three of us on this one.- Yes, OK. - Hi!- Hi.- Hi.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- We do like the trunk. - Yes.- 75 is a bit punchy.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- Right.- What could you do that for?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- 65.- Can we give you 60?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Yeah.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- That would be superb.- Are we happy at that?- Absolutely!- Delighted.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Are you sure?- Yes. - Excellent.- That's it.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Would you like a song?- Of course.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- Come on, ladies.- What are we going to sing?- Just break into song.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39# La-la
0:22:39 > 0:22:43# Ba-ba, ba-ba ba-ba-ba
0:22:43 > 0:22:45# Ba-ba, ba-ba-ba. #
0:22:45 > 0:22:47You see?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Well done, Reds. After all that arguing, harmony at last!
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Wonderful!
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Now, with less than two minutes left,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Paul is desperately trying to persuade the Blues to buy the easel.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Remember, the dealer wanted £250.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07- To leave a pound left in their purse...- For you to shop?- Yeah.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11They could offer you 184, is that right?
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- That's not leaving you... - It's leaving me a pound.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- The lady's nicer than that. - Absolutely.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Can you leave me any more than that?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- Could you take 150 and leave me 30 quid to spend?- No.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I've seen you shopping with a pound before
0:23:23 > 0:23:25and it's surprising what you can buy!
0:23:25 > 0:23:26That is wading in deep.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30- We'd be buying that with our hearts and not our heads.- I suspect so.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Well, I defer to that.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Could I shake hands with you at £184 for your easel?
0:23:36 > 0:23:43- Finally, the deal's done!- Shake the lady's hand.- I totally agree!
0:23:43 > 0:23:46So that's the easel bought, at last,
0:23:46 > 0:23:50leaving Paul one paltry pound for his bonus buy.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Whoa! Time's up! Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00For the 1920s lorgnette, or specs on a stick to you and me,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03they spent £40.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Also from the 1920s, the Art Deco shoehorn and button hook set,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10setting them back just £18.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14And for the vintage cabin trunk, the Reds unpacked £60.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18OK, girls, which is your favourite piece?
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- My favourite piece are the opera glasses.- That's your favourite.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Do you agree with that?- Yes. But I also like the little shoehorn
0:24:25 > 0:24:28and the button hook in the leather case.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- But that's your favourite, is it?- I think so.- And is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- I'm thinking the case possibly would make the largest profit.- The trunk.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- Yes.- All right, lovely. Well, that's what we like to hear.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44- Now, how much did you spend? - We spent £118.- Is that all?
0:24:44 > 0:24:49I'd like £182 of leftover lolly, please. 182.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Thank you. Look at this. Well, well, well.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Because this is a special occasion, Catherine,
0:24:56 > 0:25:00there's your £182 to go and find bonus buy number one.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04And I'm going to give you, on this special occasion,
0:25:04 > 0:25:09another £100 to go and find bonus buy number two.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14And then you guys are going to have two bonus buys to select from later.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16OK, thank you very much, Catherine.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:25:20 > 0:25:24For the Chinese bronze table lamp, they spent a tidy £80.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28For the little fob compass, they paid £35,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31hoping it will go north and not south at auction.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36And finally, the French gallery easel, they went to town,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38spending £184.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Ooh-la-la!
0:25:40 > 0:25:45- Well, this is fun, isn't it?- Yes.- Is the rumour true that you spent £299?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47£299!
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I never did! One pound of leftover lolly, please, from somebody.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- Who's got the pound?- Both hands out, please?- No, just the one!
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Oh, I don't believe it!
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- You can have it all.- Really?
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Because what you don't realise is that I'm going to give the boy
0:26:03 > 0:26:09another £100 cos on this programme, he gets another bonus buy of £100.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12You've got a pound to find one bonus buy
0:26:12 > 0:26:15and £100 to find the alternative bonus buy today!
0:26:15 > 0:26:17But before we send Paul off,
0:26:17 > 0:26:22- I need to find out which is your favourite piece.- The compass.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- The compass.- Yes.- Do you agree with that, Den?- No, the easel. Beautiful.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Is the easel going to bring the biggest profit?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31- No, it's not going to make any!- Oh. OK, what is going to bring
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- the biggest profit?- The compass. - The compass. Anyway, there we go.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37One pound, Paul, for one bonus buy,
0:26:37 > 0:26:41and £100 for the alternative bonus buy and very good luck.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45When you've found them, if you wouldn't mind bringing them back and we'll have a bit of a chat.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Now, without further ado, let's see how Catherine gets on with her two bonus buys.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Remember, she's armed with a whopping £182 of leftover
0:26:53 > 0:26:55lolly for the team bonus buy
0:26:55 > 0:27:00and she's angling for a bargain with her £100 for the special bonus buy.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03See? I quite like this. Beautiful, this salmon.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05It's really finely painted.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09I love all these rainbow colours and I'm selling in Scotland,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12in Glasgow, and I think something like this could do quite well.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13It will catch the imagination.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18I notice you've got 40 on it. Can you do 24?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- 24, perhaps.- 24? Put it there.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25- It's going to swim away. It's going to swim to success.- I hope so.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32Lesley and Linda went for really girly items
0:27:32 > 0:27:34and I feel that we need something masculine,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37so I've gone for a rather masculine piece
0:27:37 > 0:27:43and I think this will sit rather nicely with the girly items.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47So, she slipped that one in the net. In double quick time, too.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49But will she be quite so sharp
0:27:49 > 0:27:54when she looks to cut a deal for the special £100 bonus buy?
0:27:54 > 0:27:59I saw a lovely little necessaire with some sewing accessories down here.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03A bit more girly. I think they'll like this.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06How much is on them?
0:28:06 > 0:28:1278. See? Sewing accessories do sell well.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15But this time, Catherine has met her match
0:28:15 > 0:28:17when it comes to closing the deal.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21You've got 78, sir. What can you do for me? Can we do 40?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- 50 is as good as it gets.- 40?
0:28:24 > 0:28:29- Oh, go on. £40? 45?- No. 50. - That's a lovely number.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33- It's a beautiful number. - I'm not going to get anywhere here.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- Shake my hand at 50. - I certainly will!
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Now, let's have a look at what Catherine's bought.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Well, you've had a fishy old do here, haven't you?- I have.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45I suppose, once upon a time, it was a cigarette box, wasn't it?
0:28:45 > 0:28:47I don't know. It's a desk piece, isn't it?
0:28:47 > 0:28:51But I quite liked this and I like the fact that we had a salmon on the top.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- I thought - salmon, fishing, Scotland...- Yes, exactly.
0:28:54 > 0:29:00- That must be all down to the price though cos the condition on this is not good, is it?- No, it's not great.
0:29:00 > 0:29:05Can you imagine how wonderfully painted that probably was, once upon a time, when in perfect condition?
0:29:05 > 0:29:09- That would have been lovely. - It's '30s, isn't it? 1930s, 1940s.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14I would say...'40s, but I paid, because of the condition, £24.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Is that all? For £24, you'll probably get out of trouble.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20I think so. I thought that might make about £40, actually, Tim.
0:29:20 > 0:29:25- OK, and then this is the £100 bonus buy item.- Yes. I like this.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29What one tatty old leather case does to one person does something
0:29:29 > 0:29:31completely different to you, doesn't it?
0:29:31 > 0:29:35- We've got a graduated set of scissors.- Yes.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39But I'm thinking embroidery scissors. I'm thinking Victorian.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Nice leather case. I don't know, I like them.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47- I actually really liked them.- You had £100. What would I pay for that lot?
0:29:47 > 0:29:52- I would pay £30-40. What did you pay?- Probably a bit too much, then.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54- £50.- Well, as far as I'm concerned, I think
0:29:54 > 0:29:59- the salmon-topped box is likely to bring the best profit.- Oh, do you?
0:29:59 > 0:30:02I do. Because your entry level is so low at £24.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- I think you're going to break even on that.- Right.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09It's a £50 item...doing well, from my perspective.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12And if there is a bit of profit, I would be going, I think,
0:30:12 > 0:30:14for Salar the Salmon.
0:30:14 > 0:30:20- Mm.- The teams can select either one or the other, or none...- Mm.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24- ..once they get to that moment. But first we have to show them.- OK.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29But before all that, we have to find out how poor old Paul is getting on.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34And "poor" is the right word because Paul has got just £1 of leftover
0:30:34 > 0:30:39lolly for his team's bonus buy, so he heads straight to the £1 stall.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Of course.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43This, I have secured, for a pound.
0:30:44 > 0:30:50I'm optimistic that this is actually considerably more valuable than that.
0:30:50 > 0:30:56The pin, in my opinion, isn't just gold coloured... I think it's gold.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59And I think there could be £30 or £40 in that.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02There's certainly a pound's worth in it.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Ha-ha-ha!
0:31:04 > 0:31:09Now, Paul is on the hunt for the special £100 bonus buy and I've
0:31:09 > 0:31:13got a little trick up my sleeve that might just help the old fella out.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17Listen, I'm going to give you a hand here. Do you want to shake?
0:31:17 > 0:31:21- Are you packing? Oh! Tim! - How about that? From up the armpit!
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- Is that hot or what? - You're my kind of magician, Tim!
0:31:24 > 0:31:28- Form and feel, it's Georgian silver, isn't it? - I think it's Georgian silver.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30You probably don't need a helping hand, but if you fancy it,
0:31:30 > 0:31:34you can have it for the price that I just paid for it up there.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39- I won't tease you about that. It cost me £50.- No, Tim!- Yeah.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44- So, if it's Ayr, it's worth £500. - Yeah... Well...
0:31:44 > 0:31:46If it's Greenock, it's worth 800.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- If it's nothing, it's got to be worth 100.- 150 quid!
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- Yeah.- So do you want it?
0:31:52 > 0:31:54- Put it there, matey.- Tim!
0:31:54 > 0:31:59What does a man do in Edinburgh with a pound's worth of leftover lolly?
0:31:59 > 0:32:05On a stall where everything was a pound, that cries out gold.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09And someone cared enough to put a gold safety chain and pin on it.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11They didn't want to lose it.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15All of which is telling me there is substance to this.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18For a pound?! Well, this is extraordinary!
0:32:18 > 0:32:22- Now, listen, what we've got here is blister pearls, aren't they?- Mm-hm.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Which are very fashionable kind of jobbies.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28All set into something that looks like a series of petals.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31These jobbies that go round the outside.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34And then if we turn on the back, what's it look like on the back?
0:32:34 > 0:32:37There's your gold pin, there's your gold chain.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39That looks, to me, suspiciously early.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43That is the most exciting thing I've seen in years.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44And for a pound!
0:32:44 > 0:32:50Now, moving on to our special £100 bonus buy, we've seen him before.
0:32:50 > 0:32:56£50 paid. Any more ideas about whether it's Scottish or...?
0:32:56 > 0:33:01I thought provincial, immediately, aesthetically.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04And its eccentricity in form, I love.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Which is going to do best profit wise?
0:33:07 > 0:33:10I don't know. I'm hedging my bets around the research,
0:33:10 > 0:33:12but if you said to me with no research,
0:33:12 > 0:33:16just putting your speculative tummy on, I'd be going with the jewel.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20By the time we're next together, over in the auction room, hopefully
0:33:20 > 0:33:24we'll have a bit more information, but hail the leader, is what I say!
0:33:24 > 0:33:30Before I head off west to South Devon to the gorgeous
0:33:30 > 0:33:33property that's called Saltram House.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42This must be one of the most spectacular properties
0:33:42 > 0:33:46standing within the city boundary of Plymouth, in Devon.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Saltram House was mainly built in the middle of the 18th century and
0:33:52 > 0:33:56takes its name from the salt that was harvested from the tidal
0:33:56 > 0:33:59estuary of the River Plym.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Dire financial difficulties
0:34:01 > 0:34:06and death saw many historic buildings demolished
0:34:06 > 0:34:12in the 20th century, but fortunately for us, Saltram House was saved.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16And since 1957, it's been run by the National Trust.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Today, we have an opportunity of an insight into the life
0:34:20 > 0:34:25and lives of the wealthy and privileged of an early period.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Let's pop inside and warm up.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35The architecture and interior decoration that we see here
0:34:35 > 0:34:38today is the result of the ambitious plans of several
0:34:38 > 0:34:41generations of the Parker dynasty.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44They were an important local family
0:34:44 > 0:34:48and wanted the house that would impress their peers.
0:34:48 > 0:34:54And if you came in here to warm your toes in the 1780s,
0:34:54 > 0:34:59you'd have almost certainly admired this fire grate.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03Why? Well, it's a fine neoclassical example
0:35:03 > 0:35:07dating from the Adam period. If you were sharp-eyed,
0:35:07 > 0:35:10you'd notice there are two different colours to the metal.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14The bars that contain the coal at the front are shiny and white,
0:35:14 > 0:35:16that's cos they're polished steel,
0:35:16 > 0:35:21and the rest of the frame is covered in a curious yellowish metal.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24The mystery metal is called Pa Tong,
0:35:24 > 0:35:29which was imported from China in the last half of the 18th century
0:35:29 > 0:35:33and sparingly used because it was expensive.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35The fireplace itself is admirable.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40It dates from about 40 years before the fire basket,
0:35:40 > 0:35:45and is centred by this middle tablet, where we have Cupid
0:35:45 > 0:35:52riding a lion, and this is supposed to represent love conquering all.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56But this is not the only fine marble object in this room...
0:35:57 > 0:36:01..because on the face of it this appears to be an elaborately
0:36:01 > 0:36:08inlaid marble top table which dates from 1713.
0:36:09 > 0:36:14It dates from after the 20th of May 1713, actually.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15And how do we know that?
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Because inlaid into the top is a letter,
0:36:19 > 0:36:22a letter addressed to a Mr Cope,
0:36:22 > 0:36:27and it's London, dated May 20th 1713, and it describes
0:36:27 > 0:36:32the end of the continental war which led to the Treaty of Utrecht.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39This is a letter that should be scored on the heart of every
0:36:39 > 0:36:43Gibraltarian because it was the Treaty of Utrecht
0:36:43 > 0:36:45that ceded Gibraltar to Britain
0:36:45 > 0:36:49and has been the source of so much trouble ever since.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53But actually this isn't inlaid marble at all,
0:36:53 > 0:36:56it's something called scagliola,
0:36:56 > 0:37:01which is a curious mix of chalk and marble dust and colouring agents
0:37:01 > 0:37:06and glue, used by artists through the 18th century,
0:37:06 > 0:37:10employed to imitate more expensive inlaid marble.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14But actually, in a way, it is as charming.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18What I can't tell you is why the sequence of playing cards
0:37:18 > 0:37:20are laid out in this particular way,
0:37:20 > 0:37:25why the jack of spades has been torn in half,
0:37:25 > 0:37:28nor why, in particular, this letter,
0:37:28 > 0:37:32dating from that momentous day in 1713,
0:37:32 > 0:37:36has been frozen for all time
0:37:36 > 0:37:39into the top of this scagliola table.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42That remains a mystery.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45The biggest mystery today, though, is of course going to be
0:37:45 > 0:37:47for our teams over at the auction.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Who will win? Who will make the most profits?
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Well, we trotted 40 miles from Edinburgh due west,
0:38:03 > 0:38:04and if you do that you come to Glasgow.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08And if you come to Glasgow you have to come and see Anita. Hello, Anita.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- Oh, welcome, Tim, it's lovely to have you here.- Very nice to be back.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Now, Lesley and Linda went with the Lorgnette.
0:38:14 > 0:38:19I like Lorgnettes, I mean, these were often used for flirting.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22So, a bit of flirty gear, then. What is it worth?
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- It's worth, I would say, 40-60? - OK, as much as that?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28£40 paid, well, that's very good.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Mother of pearl is intact, er, nice little bit of engraving,
0:38:32 > 0:38:34so I think it deserves 40-60.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38Next is the little pouch with the Bakelite shoehorn and button hook.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Now, that's quite an unusual survivor, isn't it?
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Och, yes, I think that's very sweet.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47The flapper girl with her green dress. Not a fine quality item.
0:38:47 > 0:38:52- No, no, but just a bit of period fun. What's it worth?- 20-30.
0:38:52 > 0:38:57OK, £18 paid, so, Catherine and co did well with that.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01And their last item is the cabin trunk, which I've noticed,
0:39:01 > 0:39:05period bits of luggage increase in value year on year, don't they?
0:39:05 > 0:39:09Yes, people like them, they're very hot in today's market, and I like
0:39:09 > 0:39:14this one with the lovely burgundy staves and this cream leather.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18- What's it worth?- 60-100? - Perfect, £60 paid.- Ah, good.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22Yet again you're estimating more than the purchased price in every
0:39:22 > 0:39:25instance, so they're unlikely to want either of their bonus buys,
0:39:25 > 0:39:28but let's go and have a look at 'em anyway!
0:39:29 > 0:39:32- OK, girls, this is exciting, isn't it?- Very.- Very.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36You gave Catherine Southon £182 of leftover lolly which bought
0:39:36 > 0:39:39the team's bonus buy which is underneath that cloth.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43- Catherine, reveal all. - Yes, here we are.- Oh, yeah.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45- Oh.- Ooh!
0:39:45 > 0:39:47THEY LAUGH
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- Well?- Fishy business. - It is fishy business, yeah.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52That's interesting, Catherine.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54I think I might pass it over straight away.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- Oh, it's quite heavy. - It is very heavy.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00Alabaster box, so, cigar box? Desk piece?
0:40:00 > 0:40:05- Put your pens in, put it on your desk.- How old do you think it is?
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- Difficult to say on that one.- Fish looks a bit old.- Yes!- Yes, he is.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Looks as if it's seen better days.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14Yes. I just think there it has got a bit of damage.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18I think, if it was perfect, it would be looking at quite a bit of money.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20So how much did you spend on this?
0:40:20 > 0:40:22You're giving me bad looks and I don't like it!
0:40:22 > 0:40:26- £24 is how much I spent. - Oh, that's...- How much?- £24.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29I could see that sitting quite nicely on a gentleman's desk.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Well, that's lovely. That's the team's bonus buy.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Now, for these special programmes,
0:40:33 > 0:40:37Catherine has had an additional £100, and I'm going to reveal
0:40:37 > 0:40:39- the special bonus buy.- OK.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- Du-dum!- Oh!- Over to you, Catherine, to talk about it.- Oh, I like that.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44- Oh, do you?- Yes. - Oh, yes, I like that.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46You're more positive about these.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Well, I'm going to show you the case,
0:40:48 > 0:40:50so we've got a nice shaped case,
0:40:50 > 0:40:53and then we've got a set of three graduated embroidery scissors.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56They're very nice, I quite like those.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- So how old are those, d'you reckon? - Maybe 1910, something like that?
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- Sewing accessories can do quite well as well.- Yes, I like those.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06- So, what did you pay for these? - A little bit more on those, £50.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- Oh, really? Do you think there's a profit in it?- Yes.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12We'll find out in a minute, but right now, for the audience at home,
0:41:12 > 0:41:17let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's bonus buys.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23First up is the alabaster box. Look, how d'you rate that?
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Yeah, it's a good thing
0:41:25 > 0:41:29but there is damage to this iridescent paint on the fish.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32It may be that it could be repaired
0:41:32 > 0:41:35but we have the damage there and it will affect the price.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38- Of course it will. What's your estimate?- 30-50.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40OK, £24 paid.
0:41:40 > 0:41:45Well, that is the object that I preferred, the team's bonus buy.
0:41:45 > 0:41:50But this is the set of three scissors, which is
0:41:50 > 0:41:52the special bonus buy from Catherine. How d'you rate those?
0:41:52 > 0:41:57They're embroidery scissors, they're made by Karl Becker.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00These would have been owned by a seamstress or someone who
0:42:00 > 0:42:05made their living by making clothes, so they're quite good things.
0:42:05 > 0:42:10- OK, estimate?- 40-60?- £50 paid. - Maybe a wee bit dear.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13A bit too dear, not quite sharp enough, probably!
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Now for the Blues, and an interesting group this is, my gosh!
0:42:19 > 0:42:22First up is the cloisonne Chinese pot.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25And it's an item of some substance.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29This is bronze, the cloisonne work is in good condition,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32and I particularly like this geometric pattern.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36That is a lot of work. And it's, I think, a very attractive object.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41Mm, a wee bit out of fashion at the moment but still a good item,
0:42:41 > 0:42:46- and again a functional item.- Yeah, it makes a nice lamp. OK, how much?
0:42:46 > 0:42:48- 60-80.- OK, £80 paid.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51I have a funny feeling that that's a bit of a tease, that estimate.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54I think you'll make more than £100 with that.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- I'll do my best.- You always do.
0:42:56 > 0:43:01Now, moving on, we've got the fob with a compass and stone mounted.
0:43:01 > 0:43:02Is that saleable?
0:43:02 > 0:43:06- Yes, the mount is 9-carat gold and it's quite substantial.- How much?
0:43:06 > 0:43:10- Er, 30-50.- OK, £35 paid, so that should be all right.
0:43:10 > 0:43:15And lastly is this extraordinary easel stand.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18I can't make up my mind whether I like it or not. D'you like it?
0:43:18 > 0:43:20Yes, I do like it, I do like it.
0:43:20 > 0:43:25- I can see it in a Parisian salon in the 1900s...- Can you?
0:43:25 > 0:43:30..with a beautiful poster or watercolour on it.
0:43:30 > 0:43:34It's not to be used by an artist, it's for showing off paintings.
0:43:34 > 0:43:39And look at these beautiful little Art Nouveau gilded details on it.
0:43:39 > 0:43:40I think it's very, very sweet.
0:43:40 > 0:43:44OK, so it's got style. It dates from an interesting period.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46- What's it worth?- 150-200?
0:43:46 > 0:43:48Is it? £184 paid.
0:43:48 > 0:43:53So they really pushed the boat out to get this cos they fancied it.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56Do they need either of their bonus buys or not? I don't know.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59Let's go and have a look at them.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02Dennis, Victoria, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:44:02 > 0:44:06You only gave Paul Laidlaw £1 to find the team's bonus buy,
0:44:06 > 0:44:09so I guess you spent a pound, Paul.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12I didn't haggle, but I did you proud.
0:44:14 > 0:44:15Ta-dah!
0:44:15 > 0:44:18- Ah!- That's beautiful. - I like beautiful.
0:44:18 > 0:44:24Arts & Crafts period and aesthetic so it's 100 year old, let's say.
0:44:24 > 0:44:28Mother of pearl and semi-precious stones but mounted on...
0:44:30 > 0:44:33That is, albeit unmarked,
0:44:33 > 0:44:36but undeniably gold and silver.
0:44:36 > 0:44:40- It's absolutely phenomenal for a pound.- Yeah, it is.
0:44:40 > 0:44:44- OK, so that, we vote, was a pound that was extremely well spent.- Yes.
0:44:44 > 0:44:48Now, I'm going to reveal the special bonus buy now for this programme.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50- Look at that.- A whopper.
0:44:50 > 0:44:55Which is a solid silver ladle that I gave Paul Ladle-law,
0:44:55 > 0:45:00a little help with this cos I found it in the fair and, erm,
0:45:00 > 0:45:03I thought it would be fun to take to you.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06So he invested, it's his special bonus buy cash that he
0:45:06 > 0:45:10decided to go with this ladle, so tell us about it, Paul.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14Early 19th century, safe at that, and, erm, the rounded,
0:45:14 > 0:45:19almost bucket form bowl, it's idiosyncratic.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21Marks, they are there,
0:45:21 > 0:45:24but unfortunately they're rubbed out, they're polished out.
0:45:24 > 0:45:25All suggests to me,
0:45:25 > 0:45:29these idiosyncrasies suggest to me provincial,
0:45:29 > 0:45:31or perhaps even not British.
0:45:31 > 0:45:32- Do you like?- It's beautiful.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34Yeah. D'you think it'll make a big difference
0:45:34 > 0:45:36with the mark being rubbed off the back?
0:45:36 > 0:45:38- The mark would add value.- Yeah.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41But we don't need to worry about that
0:45:41 > 0:45:43because I paid
0:45:43 > 0:45:45£50 for it.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48If you paid £120 for it under the hammer,
0:45:48 > 0:45:52I don't think you'd be wasting your money. It's a great thing.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55It's a very debatable and highly speculative object,
0:45:55 > 0:45:59and he's got it, it's in the special bonus buy pot,
0:45:59 > 0:46:03and you're going to have to decide which of the bonus buys you go with,
0:46:03 > 0:46:05but let's check out with the auctioneer
0:46:05 > 0:46:08what she thinks about Paul Laidlaw's bonus buys.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13OK, Anita, this is fascinating.
0:46:13 > 0:46:18That is the Paul Laidlaw team's bonus buy acquired for a pound.
0:46:18 > 0:46:22- A pound! Isn't he clever? - Well, he is a genius, of course.
0:46:22 > 0:46:25Is this a medieval thing with blister pearls or is it
0:46:25 > 0:46:27an Arts & Crafts...?
0:46:27 > 0:46:31I think it's turn of the century, late 19th, early 20th century.
0:46:31 > 0:46:36I've estimated it conservatively at £25-£40.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39Right, which is pretty good for a £1 buy, isn't it?
0:46:39 > 0:46:41And that's my prediction.
0:46:41 > 0:46:44That would be my personal choice out of either of the bonus buys.
0:46:44 > 0:46:45The other bonus buy,
0:46:45 > 0:46:50the special bonus buy, Paul invested £50 in this ladle,
0:46:50 > 0:46:52and we had a debate as to
0:46:52 > 0:46:55whether it was provincial or continental or whatever.
0:46:55 > 0:47:00- What do you think, Anita?- Well, I think it's a super buy for £50.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02When we look at this pan it's a strange shape,
0:47:02 > 0:47:04it's like a Dutch shape almost.
0:47:04 > 0:47:08And the buyers will see the image on our website and, er,
0:47:08 > 0:47:10they will bid accordingly.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13There will be someone out there who will recognise that,
0:47:13 > 0:47:19whether it's continental or an obscure provincial maker.
0:47:19 > 0:47:23- What's your estimate to encourage them?- 60-80?- OK, £50 paid.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25So either way that you look at it,
0:47:25 > 0:47:28- I think Paul Laidlaw's done jolly well.- Good buys.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31But which will the team choose?
0:47:31 > 0:47:35Or will the team choose not to take either bonus buy?
0:47:35 > 0:47:39- That's the question! Are you taking the stand, Anita?- I am.
0:47:39 > 0:47:41Thank goodness for that.
0:47:41 > 0:47:45'And remember, I won't be telling the teams which bonus buy I prefer.'
0:47:45 > 0:47:47This is the item for you at £180.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49Any advance on 180?
0:47:49 > 0:47:51All done at 180, 180...
0:47:51 > 0:47:54- OK, Double L. This is exciting, isn't it?- Yes.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56First up is your Lorgnette.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58Let's hope that this is going to get us in focus.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01This item is for flirting with.
0:48:03 > 0:48:07£100, it's from the 1920s. 80.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10- Start me at £60.- You'll be lucky.
0:48:10 > 0:48:1240, then. 40 bid.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15Eduardo the flirt at £40.
0:48:15 > 0:48:1940, 40, 50, 60.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21- Any advance on 60?- We've pinched it.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23You're in profit, that's perfectly all right.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25£60, £60...
0:48:25 > 0:48:28£60 is plus 20. I think you've done jolly well to get that, actually.
0:48:28 > 0:48:32That's very good. Now your little Bakelite shoe horn.
0:48:32 > 0:48:36What can we say, £50? £50 for bags of style. £50, 50.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39- I don't think so. - You start me at £20.
0:48:39 > 0:48:43Start me at 20. 20, 30, 40, 50.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45There you go!
0:48:45 > 0:48:4760. 70.
0:48:47 > 0:48:4970 with the gentleman.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52Any advance on 70? 80 with the lady.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54- £80?!- Fresh bidder at 80.
0:48:54 > 0:48:55The lady at 80.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57- 90.- It's beautiful!
0:48:57 > 0:49:00- It's lovely.- It's plastic.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03100 with the lady, any advance on £100?
0:49:03 > 0:49:07- Look at that lady on the front, she's wonderful.- 100.
0:49:07 > 0:49:12£100 gives you a profit of £82.
0:49:12 > 0:49:16- Plus 82.- That's ridiculous! - Well, thank you, even you said that!
0:49:16 > 0:49:18OK, now, here we go, here comes the cabin trunk.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20Can we say £200?
0:49:20 > 0:49:24200, 150, 100. £100.
0:49:24 > 0:49:29- £60. Any advance on 60?- Come on! - Oh, that is really cheap.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32- 70. 70 with the lady.- Come on.
0:49:32 > 0:49:35- Any advance on 70? - It's more than that shoehorn!
0:49:35 > 0:49:39- £70, £70.- Plus £10, which is £112.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42- That made less than the shoehorn. - Yes, exactly.- Doesn't make sense.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45How does the trunk make less than the shoehorn?
0:49:45 > 0:49:48OK, girls, now, bonus buy time. Which one are you going to go for?
0:49:48 > 0:49:52Are you going to go for the fishy box or the lovely scissors?
0:49:52 > 0:49:56- You don't have to do anything, all right? You can stick.- Happy to bank.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58- But d'you want to...?- Bank it. - You're going to bank it?
0:49:58 > 0:50:01- They're going to bank the £112. - Sorry, Catherine.- That's all right.
0:50:01 > 0:50:03You're not going with either of the bonus buys.
0:50:03 > 0:50:06Well, we're going to sell both the bonus buys.
0:50:06 > 0:50:09We're going to make a gift of any profit that you make
0:50:09 > 0:50:13- on either of your bonus buys to charity.- Oh, good. That's good.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16So, you're not going with them, but we're going to sell both of them.
0:50:16 > 0:50:18First up is the fishy box, and here it comes.
0:50:18 > 0:50:20Start me at £20.

0:51:11 > 0:51:14- I know.- I thought the fishy box was going to do best, I was wrong.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16Now, don't say a word to the Blues, all right?
0:51:16 > 0:51:19You'll keep quiet about this and we'll reveal all in a moment,
0:51:19 > 0:51:21but congratulations, that's very good news.

0:51:37 > 0:51:40Anita's put 60-80, and here it comes.
0:51:40 > 0:51:44Can we say £150? 150.

0:52:21 > 0:52:24Any advance on 150?
0:52:24 > 0:52:26All done at 150? 150.
0:52:26 > 0:52:32£150 is a very acceptable plus £70. Well done, team.
0:52:32 > 0:52:33Now, here comes the fob.
0:52:33 > 0:52:36Can we say £50?

0:53:16 > 0:53:20Any advance at...60. 70, 80.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23Any advance on 80?

0:53:26 > 0:53:29- No?- Long way to go.- £100...
0:53:29 > 0:53:32- It's like extracting teeth, this. - 110, he's back in.
0:53:32 > 0:53:36- She's not finished.- With you, sir, at 110.- What a surprise.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38Any advance...?
0:53:38 > 0:53:44- A bit of an upset, this.- Yeah. - Any advance on 110? 110.
0:53:44 > 0:53:48- Well, plus £31, kids. You're still in profit.- Yeah.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51No shame with that but just disappointing on the easel.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53Now what are we going to do about the bonus buys?
0:53:53 > 0:53:56Let's go for Paul's pound. Paul's pound.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59- You're going to go with Paul's £1 brooch?- Paul's punt.
0:53:59 > 0:54:01Yes, Paul's punt.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04Now that you've made that decision I can tell you that the
0:54:04 > 0:54:08auctioneer's estimate, Anita thinks 25-40 on Paul's punt at least,
0:54:08 > 0:54:13whereas the silver ladle, her estimate is £60-£80.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16Whatever the ladle makes, as you've rejected it,
0:54:16 > 0:54:18will be sold and we'll give it to charity. So, erm...
0:54:18 > 0:54:21- Win-win.- Should be a win-win.
0:54:21 > 0:54:25OK, first up, then, is Paul's punt, the little brooch,
0:54:25 > 0:54:28and you've gone with this. This is your bonus buy and here it comes.
0:54:28 > 0:54:31Start me at £20. 20 bid, 20 bid.
0:54:31 > 0:54:3320 bid for the Arts & Crafts brooch,
0:54:33 > 0:54:3820, 30, 40, 50, 60. £60.
0:54:38 > 0:54:4270, fresh bidder. 80. 90.
0:54:42 > 0:54:45- With the lady at £90. - Look at this for a pound, lad!
0:54:45 > 0:54:47I'm going to have to kiss him.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49All done at £90? £90...
0:54:49 > 0:54:51Yes! That is so good.
0:54:51 > 0:54:55£90, woo-hoo! £90.
0:54:55 > 0:54:57THEY LAUGH
0:54:58 > 0:55:02Was it worth it for a profit of £89?
0:55:02 > 0:55:03Well done!
0:55:03 > 0:55:06Anyway, you didn't go with my ladle,
0:55:06 > 0:55:09so we're going to sell my ladle for charity now. Let's see what happens.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13Can we say 200, 150, £100?
0:55:13 > 0:55:17£50, then. £50.
0:55:17 > 0:55:1950 bid. 50 bid.
0:55:19 > 0:55:21With you, sir, at 50. 60.
0:55:23 > 0:55:2470, 80.
0:55:25 > 0:55:2890. 100.
0:55:28 > 0:55:30£100.
0:55:30 > 0:55:31No, I think that's it.
0:55:31 > 0:55:33All done at 100, 100...
0:55:34 > 0:55:36That's it, the market has decided.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39£100 is plus £50,
0:55:39 > 0:55:43but our wager was that the object that would bring the biggest profit
0:55:43 > 0:55:45was the brooch, and it jolly well was,
0:55:45 > 0:55:47so you made the right pick there.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50Anyway, a profit of £50 for charity which is very nice too.
0:55:50 > 0:55:56Overall, then, in summary, you are plus £120,
0:55:56 > 0:56:00which is very fair, plus 120 is your overall score.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02Is that a winning score?
0:56:02 > 0:56:04Well, don't say a word to the Reds
0:56:04 > 0:56:06and all will be revealed in a moment, all right?
0:56:06 > 0:56:08- OK.- Thank you very much.
0:56:16 > 0:56:20- Well, well, well, what a day! You been chatting, you lot?- No.- No.- No.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22Well, it's no secret that you're all in profit
0:56:22 > 0:56:24so that's very nice, isn't it?
0:56:24 > 0:56:30But I have to reveal there is only £8 between the winners today
0:56:30 > 0:56:32and the runners up. One team, however,
0:56:32 > 0:56:36has managed to make a profit on each of its lots
0:56:36 > 0:56:39and therefore are entitled to the ancient and noble order
0:56:39 > 0:56:41of the Golden Gavel, and that is the Reds.
0:56:41 > 0:56:43THEY CHEER
0:56:43 > 0:56:46So, come on, Reds, and wear it with pride.
0:56:46 > 0:56:51Because it is an achievement to make a profit on each of your items.
0:56:51 > 0:56:53But that achievement was not sufficient for you...
0:56:53 > 0:56:56Ye-e-e-e-es!
0:56:56 > 0:56:58..to win the day today.
0:56:58 > 0:57:01Settle down, Dennis, because marginally, by £8,
0:57:01 > 0:57:03the Blues are ahead.
0:57:03 > 0:57:06The Blues scored £120 of profits,
0:57:06 > 0:57:09and the Reds scored £112 of profits.
0:57:09 > 0:57:11When it comes to the bonus buys, Catherine,
0:57:11 > 0:57:13you've done incredibly well.
0:57:13 > 0:57:17You scored 96, even though the girls didn't go with it, so there you go.
0:57:17 > 0:57:20Those are your £112, congratulations.
0:57:20 > 0:57:23And I'm lobbing out £120 here.
0:57:23 > 0:57:25Well done, Vicky. There you go, £120.
0:57:25 > 0:57:29You trusted your expert, you went with his £1 purchase.
0:57:29 > 0:57:35This genius spends a pound on a brooch and he sells it for £90,
0:57:35 > 0:57:42so £90 means that you've got a bonus buy total of £89.
0:57:42 > 0:57:45Came and topped up your otherwise not particularly dazzling total,
0:57:45 > 0:57:48which took you to 120, which makes you the victors.
0:57:48 > 0:57:50So it's a lovely kind of turnaround in it all.
0:57:50 > 0:57:55And the total charity contribution out of today's show, out of these
0:57:55 > 0:58:00bonus buys, thanks to the experts, is £146, which is pretty darn good.
0:58:00 > 0:58:03In fact, the whole thing has been pretty darn good,
0:58:03 > 0:58:06and you should join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:58:06 > 0:58:07ALL: Yes!
