0:00:03 > 0:00:04Ahoy there! We're anchored up

0:00:04 > 0:00:07by the Gloucester Antiques Centre.

0:00:07 > 0:00:11Let's hope that our teams stock up on decent bargains today!

0:00:37 > 0:00:43This Victorian warehouse is one of the longest-established antiques centres in the UK

0:00:43 > 0:00:46and is brimming with goodies!

0:00:46 > 0:00:50So there's not a second to lose. We've established some guidelines.

0:00:50 > 0:00:57Under the eye of their experts, they've got 60 minutes to spend 300 smackers and buy three items.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01And if they don't, they'll have to walk the plank!

0:01:05 > 0:01:12So it's the battle of the boys today. For the Reds we've got Tom and Fred. Welcome.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14And Barry and Ian for the Blues.

0:01:14 > 0:01:21Tom, how did you two meet up? Well, it was back in university. We both went to Warwick Uni.

0:01:21 > 0:01:26We lived in opposite halls. I was playing guitar at the time.

0:01:26 > 0:01:31I think I had a drum. We started jamming together.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34And you gelled. Instantly.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38Tell me about this business with mugs, Fred. Well...

0:01:38 > 0:01:44We're huge tea drinkers. And over the last three years we've been living together

0:01:44 > 0:01:50we've acquired several dozen tea mugs. We're big on collecting mugs and having a cup of tea together.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53You once had a bath in the stuff?

0:01:53 > 0:01:56I'm afraid that's true, Tim.

0:01:56 > 0:02:01How did you come out? Crinkly? And orange. We know all about that.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05I think they'll do very well. Now for the Blues, Barry and Ian.

0:02:05 > 0:02:12Barry, you collect a few things. Yes, I've been collecting stamps for a few years.

0:02:12 > 0:02:20I have 47 albums and I have all the Royal Mail yearbooks, since they started. That's 23.

0:02:20 > 0:02:26Are you a generalist stamp collector? I'm a dinosaur, yes.

0:02:26 > 0:02:32You share a passion for racing. Yes, indeed. Our current passion is for soapbox racing.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Soapbox racing? Tell me about that.

0:02:35 > 0:02:42Literally a box with wheels? It started off a bit like that, but now they're very sophisticated.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46We've got disc brakes, independent suspension... Yeah.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50And you design and build these? We build them ourselves, yes.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54Out of all the experts on Bargain Hunt, which would you like?

0:02:54 > 0:02:58Well, we'd like Kate Bliss. And the reason we'd like Kate Bliss is

0:02:58 > 0:03:05I'm parish clerk of Bishopstone and District Group parish council and Kate lives within the parish.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08She is your expert today. Isn't that fortuitous?

0:03:08 > 0:03:11We've got ?300. There you go.

0:03:11 > 0:03:18You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go! Very, very good luck in the antiques centre.

0:03:18 > 0:03:23Taking a turn around the fair with our teams are two dedicated experts.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26James Lewis for the Reds...

0:03:28 > 0:03:31..and Kate Bliss for the Blues.

0:03:33 > 0:03:40We weren't sure what this was. OK, one thing that I'd say is that brassware,

0:03:40 > 0:03:44over the last 10-15 years, has plummeted in value.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48People can't be bothered to polish it. It's a lazy society we have.

0:03:48 > 0:03:55So this is nowhere near as fashionable as it once was. We thought it might be for coal.

0:03:55 > 0:04:02It's known as a skillet. It's for dipping in hot water and fishing out the vegetables.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Out of your bowl of boiling water.

0:04:04 > 0:04:09This is a really good one. It's early 19th century, 1820.

0:04:09 > 0:04:14Beautifully decorated. Very unusual handle, nice order,

0:04:14 > 0:04:16no splits, no cracks. Good, solid thing.

0:04:16 > 0:04:22I think that will go to somebody who'll put it in their fire surround and it'll be decorative.

0:04:22 > 0:04:27We've got him down to a fiver. A fiver? Wow! It's 200 years old.

0:04:27 > 0:04:33It can't be bad, can it? We've got a really good chance there. It won't make that much,

0:04:33 > 0:04:37but it might make 20 or 30. Go for it?

0:04:37 > 0:04:42Buy it. Bargain. Let's do it. Good stuff. Right.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45?5, eh? What a scoop for the Reds!

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Now what are those Blues up to?

0:04:48 > 0:04:53This might be up your street, guys. Quite classy. What do you think?

0:04:53 > 0:04:57Oh, is it hand-painted, that one? It is. Absolutely.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00If you look very carefully, it's quite hidden. It's signed W Powell.

0:05:00 > 0:05:06William Powell was one of the foremost artists at Royal Worcester. His speciality was birds.

0:05:06 > 0:05:13He's done this lovely little wagtail. That's quite a good and interesting piece, isn't it?

0:05:13 > 0:05:18It is. The hand-painted pieces of porcelain were top of the range.

0:05:18 > 0:05:23The printed and painted over the top of the print came next.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27So this commands the highest price, cos it is hand painted.

0:05:27 > 0:05:35So this is Royal Worcester? It is, exactly. If we turn it over, you can see this printed mark

0:05:35 > 0:05:39for the Royal Worcester porcelain factory.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41The star and dot indicate the date.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45It's really very early 20th century.

0:05:45 > 0:05:50And the artist has titled it there Wagtail, for the little bird on the front.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53We like that one. We do, actually.

0:05:53 > 0:06:00How much? Well, the ticket price... I've hidden it from you, but it said...

0:06:00 > 0:06:03?110. Which is quite a lot. That's retail.

0:06:03 > 0:06:09At auction, it would make anywhere between ?50 and ?100 on a good day. Oh, right.

0:06:09 > 0:06:16I think it could be quite a good buy, but we need to get a little bit of a reduction.

0:06:16 > 0:06:22You'll have to come and help me. Oh, right. OK. I'll show you where it came from.

0:06:22 > 0:06:28The Blues pecked down the price of the wagtail dish to a cheap ?50.

0:06:30 > 0:06:35Guys, found anything? Just this old trumpet. Nothing special.

0:06:35 > 0:06:40Not exciting, is it? Not really. But is that exciting? It's a pig!

0:06:40 > 0:06:45It IS a pig. There you go. Tiny. And what's it for?

0:06:45 > 0:06:51The nice thing about this is it will appeal to a lot of collectors. He's a pincushion.

0:06:51 > 0:06:58He appeals to pig collectors and he will appeal to sewing collectors, and he's silver,

0:06:58 > 0:07:03so he'll appeal to silver collectors. My gran collected pigs.

0:07:03 > 0:07:07Fantastic. Is it in good condition? Or has it got a few marks?

0:07:07 > 0:07:12He's a little bit tired, but he's still a good thing.

0:07:12 > 0:07:17I love him. What's this mark? The hallmark?

0:07:17 > 0:07:23That's the hallmark on the side. Maker's mark on the left and the anchor for Birmingham.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27It's about 1900, 1905. Early Edwardian.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30And how much bacon?

0:07:30 > 0:07:37A lot of bacon, I'm afraid! He's about as expensive - more - than a full, real pig.

0:07:37 > 0:07:42What do pigs go for these days? About ?80-?85, I understand.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45They're asking 115 for this chap.

0:07:45 > 0:07:51Can you get it closer to a real pig price? A real pig price. A real pig price.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53OK, so what's my limit?

0:07:53 > 0:07:5790. OK. I'll do better than that. Okey-doke.

0:07:57 > 0:08:03And James cut the price of the pig down to 85 rashers. It's getting worse!

0:08:03 > 0:08:08Here we are, Kate. What do you think to this?

0:08:08 > 0:08:14Do you know what it is? No. Any idea of the factory? No idea. What about you, Ian?

0:08:14 > 0:08:18No idea! What does it say on the bottom? Well, before we look,

0:08:18 > 0:08:25various things tell me exactly who made it. The shape - it has a bit of a home-made feel.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28These edges are crimped.

0:08:28 > 0:08:33It's really the glazes that give it away. A really nice rich dark blue,

0:08:33 > 0:08:39in the centre. And a chocolatey brown outside, with these applied flowers.

0:08:39 > 0:08:44That is absolutely characteristic of the Doulton factory.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Impressed on the bottom is Doulton

0:08:47 > 0:08:56and Lambeth. The Doulton Lambeth factory made a lot of utilitarian wares out of stoneware like this,

0:08:56 > 0:09:01but they also started making pieces that might be called art pottery.

0:09:01 > 0:09:06This is where this fits in. It could be seen as a piece of art as well as a functional bowl.

0:09:06 > 0:09:11How much will it make at auction? I think a little bowl like that

0:09:11 > 0:09:16will make ?20-?40. So what's the price? Can't remember!

0:09:16 > 0:09:22Oh! Well, why don't you go and find out. That's a good idea. And see what you can negotiate.

0:09:22 > 0:09:27I'll leave it to you this time. Off we go, then. Come on, Barry.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29We're off!

0:09:29 > 0:09:33The Blues got the Royal Doulton bowl for just ?12.

0:09:33 > 0:09:38We really like to make our experts sing for their suppers. Oh, yes.

0:09:38 > 0:09:45Not only do they have to guide the teams through their shopping, but they must look for a Bonus Buy.

0:09:45 > 0:09:51Bought with any leftover lolly, the Bonus Buy could be incredibly handy at the auction

0:09:51 > 0:09:59as a method of boosting the team's profits. But will they decide to take the chance or pass?

0:10:01 > 0:10:03There's no way I'm getting this.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07I know you're obsessed with dogs, but it's kitschy.

0:10:07 > 0:10:13We're running out of time. THAT is horrible. What about these?

0:10:13 > 0:10:17Plates. They're not plates. They're trinket dishes.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21They're all right. Where are they from? From Derby.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25Like me. And they are Royal Crown Derby.

0:10:25 > 0:10:30It's one of the most collectable porcelains. This is Imari pattern.

0:10:30 > 0:10:36See the little number on the back? 1128. That's the pattern number.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40It is the 1,128th pattern they did. They're in good condition as well.

0:10:40 > 0:10:46Yeah, for a very good reason - they're not that early.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50There's a date code at the bottom. That's for 1980.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54So they're not old, but they do have a good collecting field. It'll sell?

0:10:54 > 0:10:57There are loads of collectors of it.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01In my sale room in Derby, we sell this in the bucketload.

0:11:01 > 0:11:07We get loads of it and very rarely does a piece not sell. And they're not expensive.

0:11:07 > 0:11:12They're ?28, but I've had a word and we've got them down to ?20.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16We might as well go for it. Let's do it. Let's do it.

0:11:16 > 0:11:2120 quid. We're not going to lose anything, are we? No.

0:11:21 > 0:11:25I think there's ?10-?12 profit in that. It's better than nothing.

0:11:25 > 0:11:29All right. It's a few beers. Let's do a deal.

0:11:29 > 0:11:34?20 for the matching pair of Imari-style dishes.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38Guess what the Blues have found!

0:11:38 > 0:11:43Look what I've found here, Barry. I like the colours. Lovely and bright.

0:11:43 > 0:11:49Another piece of pottery. What do you think about it, Kate? How old is it?

0:11:49 > 0:11:56I like it. If we turn it over, you can see we've got the printed mark for Royal Crown Derby.

0:11:56 > 0:12:00That helps us to date it. That's 1890.

0:12:00 > 0:12:07We know that it dates from around there because soon afterwards "England" was added above this mark.

0:12:07 > 0:12:13The influence of the decoration, this very lavish decoration, goes right back to Japanese art

0:12:13 > 0:12:17and Japanese porcelain known as Imari. It's the Imari palette,

0:12:17 > 0:12:22which Royal Crown Derby were very good at using.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26What do we think about that? I like it. ?28, wasn't it?

0:12:26 > 0:12:31I don't think that's too bad. It's a shame it's only one plate,

0:12:31 > 0:12:38but there is a big collectors' market for Royal Crown Derby, particularly the earlier period.

0:12:38 > 0:12:44I think it should do well, but if you can get it even lower, the better chance of a profit.

0:12:44 > 0:12:49We'll go and negotiate again? I think so. Your turn. My turn?!

0:12:49 > 0:12:51All right. I'll come and help.

0:12:51 > 0:12:57Royal Crown Derby all round today and this dish cost the Blues ?15.

0:12:57 > 0:13:03Right, lads...and lasses. Time's up. Let's tot up the bargains.

0:13:06 > 0:13:12At ?5, the Reds will hope to skim off the profits with the brass skimmer.

0:13:12 > 0:13:17Will the ?85 silver pig bring home the bacon at the auction?

0:13:17 > 0:13:21These Imari-style dishes cost a neat ?20,

0:13:21 > 0:13:26but will they bring in a prim and proper profit?

0:13:26 > 0:13:30The Blues nabbed a Royal Worcester dish for ?50.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33They'll hope it serves up a profit.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37The Royal Doulton bowl cost a memorable ?12.

0:13:37 > 0:13:42They'll hope it sticks in the minds of the auction bidders.

0:13:42 > 0:13:47And they paid the princely sum of ?15 for the Royal Crown Derby plate.

0:13:57 > 0:14:02Today we've come to take the waters of Malvern.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06The water's good here. Philip Serrell, our host.

0:14:06 > 0:14:12Good to see you. Tom and Fred and James Lewis, what about this brass skimmer?

0:14:12 > 0:14:18Is it Georgian? Or Victorian? I think it's a 19th-century copy.

0:14:18 > 0:14:23But that would have graced any cottage in Worcestershire

0:14:23 > 0:14:27and somebody would have paid good money for it, but times have changed.

0:14:27 > 0:14:3120 years ago, what would it be? 80-120.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34?80-?120. How much is that worth today?

0:14:34 > 0:14:39?10-?20. There you go. They only paid ?5 for it.

0:14:39 > 0:14:46I think there's a profit there. Yes, but it is phenomenal how copper and brass has...

0:14:46 > 0:14:5330 years ago, copper kettles made ?90 and warming pans made ?120. Now they're both ?10-?20.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57Ridiculous. Not the thing to have put your money in. No.

0:14:57 > 0:15:03The Victorian novelty silver piggy wig. I'm quite fond of this.

0:15:03 > 0:15:08You like pigs? I like pigs. I like silver models of pigs.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12I think it'll make ?40-?60. Is that all?

0:15:12 > 0:15:16?85. Am I being mean? I don't know.

0:15:16 > 0:15:21If it was properly stuffed, I can see that in a retailer's for ?180-?220.

0:15:21 > 0:15:27It's that "if" word. It isn't stuffed and it's here and it's got to go,

0:15:27 > 0:15:32so your estimate is ?40-?60. Right. They paid ?85. I just hope...

0:15:32 > 0:15:36So do I, but I have my doubts.

0:15:36 > 0:15:41These little chaps are bankers. Royal Crown Derby. Imari pattern.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45But new ones. Not even early 20th century ones. How much?

0:15:45 > 0:15:50?10-?20. ?20 paid. They may be all right. They stand a chance.

0:15:50 > 0:15:55It's all going to be down to the pig here, you know that?

0:15:55 > 0:16:02Rather than leave it in the trough like that, we'd better shove off and look at their Bonus Buy.

0:16:02 > 0:16:09So, Fred, Tom, ?190 we gave James for a Bonus Buy. A lot of money. It's under there.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12He's going to reveal it...now.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Oh! It's a walnut!

0:16:15 > 0:16:19James, tell us about it! That is a snuff box.

0:16:19 > 0:16:25It's made from a section of stag horn. Before you say, "Poor stag!" they do shed their antlers.

0:16:25 > 0:16:30This could well be made from a little bit that was found.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34A natural shed, you reckon. We hope!

0:16:34 > 0:16:38A little tiny bit of snuff. Why a tiny bit of snuff?

0:16:38 > 0:16:46It's called a mean pinch. Scottish snuffs were a lot smaller than English snuffs. So they say.

0:16:46 > 0:16:501800, 1810. Can I have a sniff?

0:16:50 > 0:16:54It's quite nice. Like it? I do. How much did you pay?

0:16:54 > 0:16:57?34. ?34.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00The next question you'll ask is...?

0:17:00 > 0:17:05Do you think it'll make a profit? Yes! You've got it. Well done.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09I think it might make a small profit. There's not a lot in there.

0:17:09 > 0:17:14It's not going to make over ?55, ?60, but it might make ?50-?55.

0:17:14 > 0:17:20OK. So there's a chance there. We'll give it a think. You don't have to decide right now.

0:17:20 > 0:17:26Decide after the sale of your first three items. But let's see what the auctioneer thinks.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29It's a hard life being a stag.

0:17:29 > 0:17:33Yeah. I quite like that, but I think it's ?20-?40.

0:17:33 > 0:17:37That's all right. ?34 they paid.

0:17:37 > 0:17:43Think it was for snuff? Pins, patches, needles. Anything, really.

0:17:43 > 0:17:50It doesn't really work for snuff. I think it would have sat on a desk in your baronial Scottish home.

0:17:50 > 0:17:57And you could then go, "I remember when I shot that up on the hillside. A fine beastie."

0:17:57 > 0:18:03Moving on to the Blues, then. Barry and Ian and Kate Bliss.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07The Royal Worcester plate. I feel a strategic buy coming on.

0:18:07 > 0:18:12Billy Powell, great Royal Worcester artist.

0:18:12 > 0:18:18It will make ?50-?80 all day long. Their strategy has paid off. They paid 50 for it.

0:18:18 > 0:18:23Profit, profit. The right sale room for the right goods.

0:18:23 > 0:18:28Perfect. The Royal Doulton bowl. Over-folded edge.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31In pretty good nick. Pretty good.

0:18:31 > 0:18:37There's a bit of Royal Doulton that might be worth ?30-?40 five or ten years ago.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40I think it's ?10-?20. ?12 paid.

0:18:40 > 0:18:46There's got to be a profit. If there's any justice in life, that makes a profit.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50Got to be a profit. That's a nice little prediction.

0:18:50 > 0:18:55Now another wretched Crown Derby jobs. That's earlier, though.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59That one would probably be 1910 or 1920.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03Great condition. I mean... Another ?10 or ?20.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06They paid 15. ?77 paid.

0:19:06 > 0:19:12There's not a lot of losses in there. I think that'll cover it. Particularly the wagtail.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14You like a wagtail. Yes, I do.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17Let's look at the Bonus Buy.

0:19:17 > 0:19:22Well, you gave Kate ?223, which she spent, but on what?

0:19:22 > 0:19:29Before I reveal, you did leave me an enormous amount of money and I didn't spend very much,

0:19:29 > 0:19:34but remember the key is to make a profit. Bear that in mind, OK?

0:19:34 > 0:19:37This is what I bought for you.

0:19:37 > 0:19:42That's fascinating! I can't pretend it's an antique, because it isn't,

0:19:42 > 0:19:47but it's a rather nice yacht. It is, yes.

0:19:47 > 0:19:52Collectors pay reasonable money. You want to know what I paid. We do.

0:19:52 > 0:19:57I paid just ?10. ?10! We can't make much of a loss on that.

0:19:57 > 0:20:03Even if it doesn't sell at all! I hope there's a profit, which is the important thing.

0:20:03 > 0:20:08So out of ?300, we've spent less than ?100!

0:20:08 > 0:20:12Isn't that marvellous? I'm glad you're amused.

0:20:12 > 0:20:18It'll be very interesting to see whether your strategy proves to be the correct one, won't it?

0:20:18 > 0:20:23For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Captain Pugwash. Fully rigged.

0:20:26 > 0:20:30You're the cabin boy. Oh, hello! What do you think?

0:20:30 > 0:20:37I'd put ?20-?30 on it. I could be being a bit mean. It might make 40. She paid ?10.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40She's a cute lass. That's profit. You're taking the sale?

0:20:40 > 0:20:45I've got to make sure it makes a profit now! Certainly do.

0:20:51 > 0:20:57Tom and Fredo, how are you feeling? A bit nervous. You are a perpetual optimist, though.

0:20:57 > 0:21:02Definitely. And you are a perpetual pessimist. Yeah.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05I think we're in trouble. The first lot is your skimmer.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Lot number 321 - a Georgian skimmer.

0:21:08 > 0:21:13There we are. Skillet or skimmer. Pays your money, takes your chance.

0:21:13 > 0:21:17Who's got ?20? Hands up quickly. ?20.

0:21:17 > 0:21:1910, then. 10 I'm bid.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23Doubled your money. At 10. ?10.

0:21:23 > 0:21:27Any more? Who's got 15? At ?10... Come on! At ?10.

0:21:27 > 0:21:32?10 and I sell, then, at ?10. And...done!

0:21:32 > 0:21:36Well, I never did. ?10. Never mind. That's ?5 profit.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Not to be snuffed at! The pig!

0:21:38 > 0:21:41A pig pin cushion.

0:21:41 > 0:21:45Who's got ?100 to start? Surely.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Who's got 80?

0:21:47 > 0:21:5050 I'm bid. At 50. 60.

0:21:50 > 0:21:5360 bid. At ?60.

0:21:53 > 0:21:5770. ?70. At ?70. It's the lady's bid at 70.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Any more?

0:21:59 > 0:22:04At ?70 and I sell, then, at 70. And done!

0:22:04 > 0:22:09I don't believe it! ?70. You're minus 15 on that.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12It could have been worse. Minus ?10.

0:22:12 > 0:22:16I'm bid ?10 for those. At 10. 10. 15. 20.

0:22:16 > 0:22:195. 30. 5. 40.

0:22:19 > 0:22:225. Any more? At 45. 50. 50 bid.

0:22:22 > 0:22:27?50 only. Is there any more? At ?50, right at the back.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30And done!

0:22:30 > 0:22:35Well done, James! You've saved their bacon. That is fantastic.

0:22:35 > 0:22:41Plus 30 on that. You have ?20 in your pockets of profit thanks to him.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45It's all thanks to him! What about the stag horn snuff box?

0:22:45 > 0:22:50Are you going to risk it? ?34. Or walk home with your ?20?

0:22:50 > 0:22:52Going to chance it? Go for it.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55All right. Going with the snuff box.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Here it comes. 327.

0:22:58 > 0:23:04A stag horn snuff box. I'm bid ?35 on the book. Bid at 35.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07At ?35 only. At 35. One more?

0:23:07 > 0:23:11At 35. 40. 5. 50.

0:23:11 > 0:23:155. 55. Is there any more? You like your snuff, sir?

0:23:15 > 0:23:18At ?55 only. There's the bid.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21At ?55, seated. Any more?

0:23:21 > 0:23:25At ?55. I may sell at 55. And...done!

0:23:25 > 0:23:28?55.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32Plus ?41. That is brilliant, isn't it? ?41.

0:23:32 > 0:23:36Just don't tell the Blues. OK. Not a word to the Blues.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39Lips are sealed? Lips are sealed.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56Barry and Ian, how are you feeling? Nervous. Are you nervous?

0:23:56 > 0:24:03Folk who go downhill on machines very, very fast can't be nervous about this!

0:24:03 > 0:24:05First up is the Worcester plate.

0:24:05 > 0:24:10Royal Worcester. Painted by Billy Powell. A dish by Billy Powell.

0:24:10 > 0:24:15Who's got...? Where shall we start? Have you got ?50?

0:24:15 > 0:24:17At ?50 only. 55.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20And 60. And 5. 70. Come on!

0:24:20 > 0:24:23At ?70. By Billy Powell. Any more?

0:24:23 > 0:24:28At ?70 with me and I sell, then, at ?70. Done!

0:24:28 > 0:24:32Well done. ?70. Plus 20. No problem with that.

0:24:32 > 0:24:37A Royal Doulton bowl. This is a sweet little lot. ?20?

0:24:37 > 0:24:42?20? Who's got 10, surely? ?10, quickly?

0:24:42 > 0:24:45Come along, ladies. A tenner.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49You're not a lady, but you'll do. At ?10. 10 bid.

0:24:49 > 0:24:55At ?10. ?10 - there's the bid. I'll sell at ?10. And done!

0:24:55 > 0:24:58Bad luck, Barry. Minus 2.

0:24:59 > 0:25:04A Royal Crown Derby plate. Who's got ?20 to start?

0:25:04 > 0:25:0620 I'm bid. At 20.

0:25:06 > 0:25:12?20 only. At 20. There's the bid. At ?20. Come on!

0:25:31 > 0:25:34You doubled your money. Plus 15.

0:25:34 > 0:25:41You're ?33 up. Well done, boys. You spent ?77 and you've made ?33 profit.

0:25:41 > 0:25:47That's pretty good. What about this old yacht? We've got to go with Kate. Yes.

0:25:47 > 0:25:54Spent ?10 on that. We can't let Kate down. The decision is made? Go with it.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57The auctioneer's estimate on it is ?20-?30.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00So he sees you tripling your money.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03Anyway, here comes the Bonus Buy.

0:26:03 > 0:26:07A little pond yacht. Got two bids for the same money.

0:26:09 > 0:26:13Look at the look on Bliss' face! Two bids for the same money.

0:26:13 > 0:26:18I start at ?40. Yes! 40 bid.

0:26:18 > 0:26:22At ?40 only. It's going to be short and sweet. At ?40 only.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25A swift launching at ?40. Any more?

0:26:25 > 0:26:32At ?40 on the board. Two commission bids, same money. I start at 40 and...done!

0:26:32 > 0:26:35?40. That is brilliant. Plus 30. Well done.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38?63 up.

0:26:38 > 0:26:42Plus 63. Can you believe that? Plus 63.

0:26:42 > 0:26:47That's nearly half a soapbox. It was worth coming!

0:26:47 > 0:26:51Well done. Now do me a favour... Four tyres!

0:26:51 > 0:26:55Don't tell the Reds. No. We will reveal all in a minute.

0:27:04 > 0:27:09Isn't it lovely that both teams have made profits? Unbelievable!

0:27:09 > 0:27:15Congratulations all round. Do you know how the Reds got on? No.

0:27:15 > 0:27:19Blues? No way. You have no idea about the scale of these winnings.

0:27:19 > 0:27:25We do have to have a runner-up. Each team did phenomenally well,

0:27:25 > 0:27:27but the runners-up are the Reds.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30Oh! Oh!

0:27:30 > 0:27:34Bad luck, boys. You managed ?41 of profits.

0:27:34 > 0:27:41I thought that might be enough. It's pretty brilliant. The dishes were surprising. Did well.

0:27:41 > 0:27:46And you went with the old Scottish stag horn jobby.

0:27:46 > 0:27:52Another 21 smackers for that. Overall, plus ?41. Are you pleased? Yes! We're happy.

0:27:52 > 0:28:00You're students. We can go to the pub. ?41 is worthwhile having, isn't it? Yeah.

0:28:00 > 0:28:04You've been great boys. Anyway, see you soon.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07Now, you guys. Very good. ?63 up.

0:28:07 > 0:28:12?20 out of Kate's Royal Worcester plate. That did very nicely.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15And ?30 out of Kate's yacht.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19Pretty good going, Kate. Want to join our soapbox team?

0:28:19 > 0:28:25They're cruising along. Plus ?63 is jolly, jolly good.

0:28:25 > 0:28:30Thank you. I've got the ?3 here. There you go. ?63.

0:28:30 > 0:28:34We have had the greatest fun today. Great contestants, great profits.
