0:00:03 > 0:00:07We're in Devon today, home of the cream team and also home
0:00:07 > 0:00:12to some recognisable names like Sir Francis Drake, Sir Francis Chichester,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16Agatha Christie and, would you believe it, yours truly.
0:00:16 > 0:00:22So before I head off down memory lane, let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:53 > 0:00:56We're bargain hunting in the town of Honiton today.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00It's not a very big place, but in the middle of the nineteenth century
0:01:00 > 0:01:04there were no less than 29 coaching inns in this town,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07and the spirit of hospitality is still rife in the place.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- Morning!- Morning! See what I mean?
0:01:09 > 0:01:15And also, Queen Victoria, no less, had her wedding gown trimmed in Honiton lace.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23We're at the Honiton Antiques Centre
0:01:23 > 0:01:27and the Fountains Antiques Centre in Honiton today.
0:01:27 > 0:01:33As usual, each of our teams get £300 and an hour to shop for their three bargains.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37They'll also get to have the pleasure of an expert to coach them.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40But which team will have the best eye for the bargains?
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Let's go and meet 'em!
0:01:46 > 0:01:51So it's the girls versus the boys, the battle of the sexes, today,
0:01:51 > 0:01:55and for the Reds we've got Tina and Linda. Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59And we've got Melv and Paddy for the Blues. Welcome.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Now, you two girls, how did you first meet?
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Well, I was selling my house, Tim, and Tina was my estate agent.- Right!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09You get to meet all sorts of people, as an estate agent?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Yeah, some weird ones, some nice ones
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Tell us a story or two, then.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18- Disasters we like. - Linda's son, actually.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22I turned up at Linda's house with the clients to do a viewing, knocked on the door, and he said,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25"Have you got any identification?", to which I replied,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- "No, but I really am the estate agent."- Yeah!
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- He said, "You're not coming in," and shut the door in my face!- Did he? - Yes!
0:02:32 > 0:02:34What do you do, Linda?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I'm a business consultant with an oil company in London.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39And you're particularly keen on shopping.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I love shopping, Tim. I'll buy anything.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I think you're going to do terribly well, and good luck.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49Now for the boys, Pads and Melv. It says here that you describe
0:02:49 > 0:02:53yourselves as "charming, handsome, cheeky, full of knowledge..."
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- Have I left anything out(?)- How about modesty, Tim?- Modesty! Yeah!
0:02:58 > 0:03:00That WOULD be a good one!
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Now, Melv, you're the practical joker?
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Yes, I am, Tim, yeah. There was one occasion some twenty years ago
0:03:06 > 0:03:08when I was working in a general hospital
0:03:08 > 0:03:14and we played a joke on one of our colleagues. We told him that there was a body in one of the fridges
0:03:14 > 0:03:17wanting to go to the chapel of rest.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Unknown to him I was in the fridge, and when he pulled me out
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I let up a great sigh and moved, and that was it, he was gone.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- He was gone. I think he's still running now!- I wouldn't blame him!
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Paddy, you've got a passion for the past.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Yeah. Ever since I was a kid I've always been interested in history
0:03:36 > 0:03:38and just being in old places.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I used to do medieval re-enacting.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Do you collect anything yourself?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Weaponry and tribal art, primarily.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- Weaponry and tribal art? - Specialist areas, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Takes a long time to learn about tribal art especially.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55You might find it today in Honiton, wouldn't that be exciting?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58We've got an expert on the Blue team, which is lovely.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Now the money moment. £300 apiece.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02There's your £300. You know the rules.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05The experts await. And off you go!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08our experts will have their work cut out today
0:04:08 > 0:04:12because they will be helping not one but two pairs of teams.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Hoping to spin a win for the girls is James Braxton.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20And fighting for a profit for the boys is Philip Serrell.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Hey, come on! Put those pictures down.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- What do you think to this?- Yeah. Is that kind of Arts and Crafts?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34It has a look, doesn't it? I love the handles.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39- It's got a sort of Arts and Craftsy line, hasn't it?- Mm.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42And a very Arts and Craftsy sort of material, copper.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I think it would look great on a hall table, wouldn't it,
0:04:45 > 0:04:46- with flowers in it?- Yeah. Yeah.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Big grasses or something like that. - I like it.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52It's an interior designer's dream.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- It is. Heaven, isn't it? - So how much is it?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Er, £38.- Do you think it could make it at auction?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03I think I could buy it for less. I should be able to buy it for under 30.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09- And I think as a good architectural piece, nice copper, I think it'll look tremendous.- Yeah, great.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Permission granted? - Yeah.- Go for it.
0:05:11 > 0:05:17So with the Reds' support, James hammered out the copper vase for £25.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20But I wonder what the Blues are brooding over.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Isn't this "egg-citing"?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Cracking good find.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29That's a really good yolk!
0:05:29 > 0:05:30What is it?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33A lot of people think these are ostrich eggs, but this is an emu egg.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I think it's amazing. What would it have been used for?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- You'd just put it on a desk, wouldn't you?- Yeah.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- I think it's really interesting. - Do you?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Yeah, I like it. - Why?- Well, it'd look nice
0:05:44 > 0:05:45- on somebody's desk.- Yeah.
0:05:45 > 0:05:51- It might be unique. What sort of price do you think would be a good price to purchase?- On a bad day...
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Well, it's priced up at £22.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57I think on a bad day at auction it's a tenner. On a good day at auction it might be 30.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Right.- I reckon 30.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Erm, but do you wanna buy this?- Yes. - Yeah, I reckon.- If we can get it for cheaper than £22,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- I think we're onto a winner.- No pressure on me there, then(!)
0:06:06 > 0:06:12Philip shelled out £15 for the egg, let's hope he doesn't end up with it on his face!
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Now, you look very smart.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Mr Bradford.- Mrs Bingley.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Come on, guys, stop messing around. Look what I've found.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26I found this fantastic vase. What do you think?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Do you know who has made it?- No.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Early Branham wear. Do you know much about Branham?- No.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34You should do. West Country farmer, he is.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36In Barnstaple, north-west of here.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38So he might appeal to somebody local?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Yeah, local buyers.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45Just on the base here I can just pick out 1882.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46- Excellent.- Well, yeah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- What do you think about the condition, James?- Yeah, it's funny,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53it's almost got a sort of bad touch of pox.
0:06:53 > 0:06:59I think it's probably a problem in the terracotta. In the actual earthenware body.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03These are fired at big degrees, 800 degrees centigrade,
0:07:03 > 0:07:07it's got a tin oxide skin over it, here. It's just burst through, hasn't it?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- That's been there since it was made? - Definitely since it's been made.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15I'm a little concerned about the condition, the general look of it.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17It's kind of a little bit rough, isn't it?
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Bit of rough!- I'm done with bits of rough!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- HE LAUGHS - think you're right. It's got a good type, though.
0:07:24 > 0:07:31- Linda, I think if we could get this for the right money I think we should buy it.- And what is the money?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Well, at the moment, it's £89 but I think maybe around 70,
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I'd be happy.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41I think that's really nice. It could do quite well, couldn't it?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Photograph well. - Yes. It's attractive.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46OK, go on, Tina. You go and buy it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Let's get back to fun. - Back to the fun.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Back to the hats.- I like this one.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56- £30 only, this one. - Wow, that's not bad, is it? Good for a night out, you know.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Hats off to Tina.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01She fashioned the price down to £70.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06But I think the Blues might need something medicinal after what Paddy is about to show them.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Hello you two. - Are they one lot or three lots?
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- Three lots.- All individually priced?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- So, what is the first one? - The first one is this.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- I think I'll take the money. What an earth is that?- Oh, my God.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Well, I think it's some kind of optician's tool. For looking at eyes.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27So that, can I have a look...
0:08:27 > 0:08:30that presumably screws on there.
0:08:30 > 0:08:36- Battery goes in there and it sort of lights up a bulb or something? - How old do you think it is?
0:08:36 > 0:08:40I don't think there's any great age to that but it looks like it's perhaps 1960s, doesn't it?
0:08:40 > 0:08:47£9.50. We think that's for looking at your eyes. OK. What's your next offering?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Move that out the way, then.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Oh, my life!- This is...
0:08:52 > 0:08:54That looks like it's going to hurt!
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- I think its veterinary.- Veterinary. - Because you think how much
0:08:57 > 0:09:03liquid the reservoir holds, you're certainly not going to be injecting that amount into a human. Painful.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Inside you've got some needles...
0:09:06 > 0:09:08which look quite painful.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Makes the buttocks clench, doesn't it?
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Makes everything clench a bit.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- How much is this?- £8.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- How much was the last one?- £9.50.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- £9.50 and £8 is?- £17.50.- You could get a job on Countdown, you.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23What's our next thing?
0:09:23 > 0:09:28- Well, this is a haemocytometer. That's what it says on the lid. - Something to do with blood.
0:09:28 > 0:09:34- I think it's for measuring the number of blood cells and it's good quality and it's only £7.50.- Come on, Carol.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- £25.- This is vaudeville, well done. - Thank you.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I think, I think if they came into my sale they'd be one lot
0:09:40 > 0:09:44and they'd be 15 to 30 quid or 20 to 40 quid or something like that.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46If you can get the three for five pound a piece,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- 15 quid, we're in business, do you reckon?- Yeah.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50What a conundrum.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54But Paddy wrote out the prescription for £15.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00So, come on, James. Can you cast your expert eye on this bad boy, please?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Fabulous, isn't it? Arts and Crafts theme we are developing, aren't we?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Nice bit of copper, isn't it?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- What is it, then?- I don't know.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10It's got some isolators, hasn't it?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I suspect they're either ceramic or horn. They look almost like horn.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17To stop the transfer of heat - that would suggest a hot water jug to me.
0:10:17 > 0:10:25- It's rather nice. So, what would you think would be a good price on that, then?- So, £45 we've got on it,
0:10:25 > 0:10:30well, you know, as low as possible. I don't know, 30, 35?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33It's a good job because we've just bought it for 32.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- No! You naughty people!- Yes, we did.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Naughty people!- We did.- £32?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I think that's all right, isn't it?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I think that's rather nice.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46It goes well with our items. We'll have Arts and Crafts people pouring
0:10:46 > 0:10:49from all parts of the country for our three items, won't we?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Excellent. Thank you.
0:10:51 > 0:10:57I do love an expert full of optimism but are the Blues projecting a profit on their last item?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Blimey.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03What's that?
0:11:03 > 0:11:08It says on the label it is a magic lantern.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12A light source would have sat on there, wouldn't it?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Yeah.- That bit's missing and that goes in there.
0:11:15 > 0:11:21And then here, lovely little bit of brass engineering so you can just see your light source there.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24And then that lifts up.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Is that a focus, or...? - That winds in and out.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31What's the price? £68.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32I think it's a quirky object.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I could see that on somebody's sideboard.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Somebody who's got an engineering interest. It's quirky.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- I don't like it.- You don't like it? - I don't like it.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- Say what you think(!)- It's incomplete and there's no slides.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47I don't think anyone would want it.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I have doubts about its originality.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54- I think it's probably going to make between 30 and £40.- OK. - But I think someone will buy it.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Yeah.- If Melv's happy, I'm happy.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Aw.- Isn't that nice, eh?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Gonna buy it then, aren't you?- Yes.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- Try and do get it for as close to 30 as you can.- OK, will do. Do my best.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10So, with a warm glow, Melv lit the deal for £45.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14But time is marching on and I'd better check in with the wife.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- Hello, Doris?- At the third stroke, the shopping's over.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21THREE BEEPS
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Right! Time's up.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26HE SNIFFS
0:12:29 > 0:12:35The Reds are hoping to see gold with a £25 copper baluster-shaped vase.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Have they thrown away £70 on the Branham ware vase?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42And finally, will any profits be tarnished
0:12:42 > 0:12:44with the Arts and Crafts-style jug?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Have you had a good time shopping?- We did.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Yeah, very giggly, aren't you? - Great fun, actually.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Was it good, actually?- It was. - That's lovely, actually.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Which is your favourite piece, actually?
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- I think, even though it's quite rough, the vase.- Rough vase, right.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- What about you, Tine?- I chose the vase so I have to pick the vase, don't I?
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Not necessarily. OK, it's your favourite. Anyway, you spent £127.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13I'd like £173 worth of leftover lolly. James, there you go.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14- Lot of cash, isn't it?- Yup.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19- Gonna have to trot off and have a go then, aren't you?- I will do my best for the girls.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- I'd like you to know that we're all behind you.- Thank you.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Meanwhile, let's checkout what the Blues bought.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Could the Blues be incubating a huge profit with the emu,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30or is it the ostrich egg?
0:13:30 > 0:13:35Will temperatures be rising after paying £15 for the medical objects?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39And finally will the magic lantern conjure up a profit?
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- So, Pads and Melvs, how did you get on, have a good time shopping?- Yeah.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Fantastic.- Which is your favourite piece, Pads? - I liked the medical bits.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Medical bits?- Yeah. - Lovely. What about you, Melv?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I love the magic lantern.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Magic lantern is your favourite?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Which piece is gonna bring the biggest profit?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I think we have to go with Pad's medical pieces.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06- Is that what it's going to be? - I think so.- OK, you spent £75, which is pathetic.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09£225 worth of leftover lolly.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13That's 225. I don't think I've ever handed over so much leftover lolly.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15What is going on around here? Eh?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- Well, we tried to spend it. - Yeah?- Yes. He tried to buy a pot.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Tried to buy a pot? For thruppence?
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- No, it was a £300 pot.- Oh, was it? Oh, a proper pot.- A real pot, yeah.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29- Didn't have enough for the pot.- No, I'm going to try and buy one now. - That's good, isn't it?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33You've got all this money to spend. Extraordinarily good luck. That's all I can say.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Thank you.- Goodbye. - Bye-bye.- Goodbye. Bless your heart.
0:14:41 > 0:14:48Well, it's lovely to be back in Bearnes sale room in Exeter with Martin McElroy.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Morning, Tim.- Morning Martin. Now, the Reds, Tina and Linda,
0:14:51 > 0:14:56- their first item is this copper job. - As a decorative item, it's a nice shape...
0:14:56 > 0:14:58More industrial though, isn't it?
0:14:58 > 0:15:04More than that, it needs cleaning and people just do not like cleaning copper and brass.
0:15:04 > 0:15:10And at auction we may get 10 to £15 for it. I think we'll be hard pushed.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Yeah, pushed is the word. £25 they paid.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Now, no better saleroom in the UK to sell a nice a piece of Branham
0:15:17 > 0:15:19than Bearnes in Exeter.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23This, unfortunately, is the worst example I think I've ever seen.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25The glazing has been pitted and potted.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Yeah. I mean, something exploded in the kiln, didn't it?
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- Either the wrong temperature or in the wrong part of the kiln.- Yeah.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I'm amazed they didn't throw it away.
0:15:34 > 0:15:40- What, regard it as a second?- Maybe even a fifth.- A fifth? Oh dear.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42But even so, I suppose, to somebody who wants to start
0:15:42 > 0:15:48- collecting Branham, you can turn it in one direction and it looks fairly OK, so maybe 30 to £40?- Maybe?
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Maybe.- We'll have to cross our legs cos they paid £70 for it.
0:15:52 > 0:15:58- Ouch.- 70 smackers. But there we go. We're all on a learning curve.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01It's rather like this Arts and Crafts jug here.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05That looks more like shed work to me than Arts and Crafts work.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07It is Arts and Crafts, beaten copper.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Beaten to death? - Beaten to death, yeah.
0:16:10 > 0:16:16- Again, it needs cleaning and we will be struggling at £10 for that. - Oh dear, £32 they paid.
0:16:16 > 0:16:22So overall, I'm afraid, we have deep gloom and despair
0:16:22 > 0:16:25relating to all three of these contestants' items.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29So they're almost certainly going to need their bonus buy, let's look at it.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33God, it's ugly. THEY LAUGH
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Is it...? What is it?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I thought its only saving grace was the ribbon in its mane.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- Speechless. Speechless.- Tell me about it, James.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45It's Beswick, so, a big collectors' pottery and I thought we're coming...
0:16:45 > 0:16:50It's quite a rural area, Exeter, nd I thought shire horse, nostalgic.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52The crunch question, what did you pay for it?
0:16:52 > 0:16:59- £30.- It's a clever choice, girls. You've got to admit that. The boy's done good, hasn't he?- Yeah. Yeah.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- Don't be too fulsome with your praise.- You've done well.- I think he's done good.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- That's the ribbon. That's the mane, yes.- Oh, my Lord.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- I like that sort of fleck of colour. - Gorgeous. Both of you.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Anyway. For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about James's old horse.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21These are becoming extremely popular for some reason. It's in good order.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24As far as I can tell there's no signs of repair or damage to it.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28And I think at auction it should fetch in the region of 40 to £60.
0:17:28 > 0:17:34That would be wonderful if you could achieve that because old Braxton paid £30 for it.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39He sees it as a runner. So, that would be wonderful. Moving on to the Blues.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42We've got some seriously wacky things here, Paddy and Melv.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47The ostrich egg. Is this going to be ostrich or is it going be emu?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Ostrich. And it's going to be hard to sell.
0:17:49 > 0:17:55- Is it?- It is. I mean, they're very decorative, they're fun things, a good conversation piece.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58But at the end of the day, it is an egg. Just large.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Yeah. I mean, you can't look at that without feeling some sense of pain, can you?
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Constipated, yeah, exactly.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08- How much do you think it's going to bring?- I think we will be getting about 10 to £20.
0:18:08 > 0:18:1010 to £20? Well, that's fine.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12It's £15. That's all they paid for it.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Medical equipment.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19We've got three little pieces of kit here which you can stick up basically any orifice you like.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23I got a bit of rubber, we've got this nice thing you can squeeze into your ear hole.
0:18:23 > 0:18:29- Basically, wherever you are, leaving out gynaecology, I think we've got it here.- Yeah.- Cracked.- Yeah.
0:18:29 > 0:18:35Medical equipment is quite popular but this is 20th century rather than 19th century.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38At best, we're going to get maybe 10 to £15.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40That's great. £15 is all they paid.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43If you get anything like that that's absolutely super.
0:18:43 > 0:18:50- We'll see what we can do.- The last item, thank goodness, is this magic lantern which is missing its guts.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53But it's quite a decorative thing, isn't it?
0:18:53 > 0:18:58That is basically what most people buy them for, purely to look decorative on a shelf.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Normally they have been converted to electricity.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Everybody likes them but nobody actually wants to buy them.- Yes.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- They think they're wonderful, but nobody likes to pay for it.- No.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- "I like it but I wouldn't buy it". - Yes, exactly.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13So I think we'd be... I think we'll get about 20 to £30 for that.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Do you? Well that would be brilliant because they paid £45,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- shows them a substantial loss, but it could be worse.- Yeah.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- Anyway, overall, we've got a mixed bag here, haven't we?- Yes, we have.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24A lovely mixture.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29Overall though, I've a funny feeling they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Paddy, I'm going straight past you, I know you won't like that.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- I bought it for Melv. - It's pottery isn't it?
0:19:35 > 0:19:36- I bought that for Melv.- Lovely.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- You like Charlotte Rhead. - It is a Charlotte Rhead.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42No, it's his father... HIS father? ..her father, Frank Rhead.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45And it's just Amstel pottery. I just think it's quite sweet.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I love it. I think it's lovely. Why didn't I see that on the day?
0:19:48 > 0:19:53- You did, you walked straight past it.- Did I? That's beautiful. What did you pay for that?- 35 quid.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Would you have bought it? - Yes, I would have, definitely.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59You wouldn't have, would you?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02I think that will make between £30 and £50.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- And there's maybe £15, £20 in it?- I think so, yes.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- And Paddy, you're shutting up. - I'm saying nothing.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10You're saying nothing? Well, there we go.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15This is what's lovely about teamwork. Anyway, you don't decide now but, for the viewers at home,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the pot.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- Boring.- Boring birdage.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25The pattern is really kind of indistinct, it's blobby.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Yeah.- And quite honestly, I think we will be struggling at about £10.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33Philip Serrell will be gutted at that. £35 he paid.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38- I'd like to be proved wrong on that one.- It must be more of a Worcester taste than a West Country taste.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Quite possibly. - Are you our auctioneer today?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Yes, I'm afraid I am. - We're in safe hands.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- Now, how are you feeling?- Confident.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Tense.- Are you feeling excited?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- Very.- Are you?- Yeah.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Are you on the edge of excitement?
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- I'm quivering.- There you go, see. This is Bargain Hunt for you.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08First item, and it's coming up now, is the copper jug. Here it comes.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11On to lot number 50 now, the large eastern copper two-handled vase.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12We can do this.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17Lot number 50 and, again, who will start me at £20? £20 anybody?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- Come on.- £10?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- £5?- Oh, no.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25A couple of pounds?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Two anywhere? A pound?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31A pound I'm bid. Thank you, ma'am. £1. Two anywhere now?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34With the lady standing at £1?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Two anywhere? Two. Three.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39We're up to three.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Get excited.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42With the lady standing at £3.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Four now? All done and selling then at three.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Oh, dear. That's minus £22.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- James's item. - Oh! Don't be like that.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Next up is your Branham.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58On to lot number 51, it is the Charles Branham vase.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00£20 for this Branham vase?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03£10?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05£5? Arms everywhere now.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Five I'm taking with you, sir. £5. Six. Seven, eight, nine.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11We've got two people fighting.
0:22:11 > 0:22:1512, 14, 16, 18, 20,
0:22:15 > 0:22:2022, 24, 26, 28, 30.
0:22:20 > 0:22:26- 32, 34, 36, 38.- Come on, come on.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Push it up more. - The gentleman seated at £40.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Do we have 42 anywhere? With the gentlemen seated at £40.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34£42 anywhere? Last chance at £40.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37All done and selling then.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41- Cringe.- £40 minus 30. Well, it could have been a lot worse, couldn't it?
0:22:41 > 0:22:46- Now here comes the jug.- The Arts and Crafts style copper lidded jug.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48£10 for the jug?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51£5 for the jug?
0:22:51 > 0:22:52A couple of pounds for the jug?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Ridiculous.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58£2. Two I'm bid. Thank you, ma'am. Three, now there's competition.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Three, four, five.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03At £5. Six anywhere now?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- £5. Six?- Oh, come on. - It's got to be worth more than that.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10£5. Six? Go on. Go on.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13At £5. Six?
0:23:13 > 0:23:14With you then, ma'am, at £6.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16All done and selling.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- I'm so sorry, girls. That's not great, is it?- Well, we tried.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22You did try, and you tried so beautifully, too.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26But we're minus £78. Bad luck, girls.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27So what are you going to do?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Are you going to go with the cart horse or not?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- I think so.- I'll go with James.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Go with James' cart horse? Here it comes.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39Lot 56 now, the Beswick pottery model of a brown gloss shire mare.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Lot 56, £20?
0:23:42 > 0:23:44£10?
0:23:44 > 0:23:48£5? Nobody's left to bid so I think we're scuppered.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Seven, eight, nine, 10.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53At £10, lady in front at £10.
0:23:53 > 0:23:5612 anywhere now? All done at £10?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59We're selling for 10 then.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Bad luck. It's minus £20.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04So overall you're minus 98.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Oh. It was lovely though.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Whatever you do, don't tell the Blues.- No, we won't.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Keep the suspense. Because minus £98 could be the winning score.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- I see the pigs flying.- Yeah.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Now, Paddy and Mel, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- I haven't a clue.- You don't want to know, I'll tell you.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30OK, how are you feeling, all right?
0:24:30 > 0:24:34- Yeah, optimistic.- Got a good feeling in your waterworks?- Mediocre.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Mediocre in the waterworks. What about you, Mel?
0:24:36 > 0:24:37How are your waterworks?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- Quietly optimistic.- Are you?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I'm hoping we'll do all right.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Lovely boys, aren't they?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46So stand firm. Stand by and first up is Phil's egg.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Now we go on to lot number 72,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50the ostrich egg mounted on a turned-stem finial.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52There we are.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54We start at £10.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59Bid with me at £10 for the ostrich egg. 12, 14, 16, 18, 20.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- Look at that.- At £20, commission bid still has it.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- 22 anywhere now?- Profit.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Commission bid has it at £20.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Done and selling then at £20.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Excellent, £20. Plus £5.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15That's a rarity, Phil. Lovely.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20- Absolutely.- Now, medical. Stand by. - Medical instruments, lot number 73.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- And again £20 starting for this. - Profit already.- £20 I have.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Starting at 20.
0:25:25 > 0:25:3122, 24, 26, 28. At £28. With me again, at the back, £30 or no?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33At £28 then and selling.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36All done at 28 and selling.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Thank you very much, plus £13.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40This is like shelling peas.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- That surprised me. - Now, here comes the lantern.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44We're going to go to lot number 74
0:25:44 > 0:25:47which is the glass and tinplate magic lantern.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49At £10 anybody?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53For the magic lantern, £10? A bid, thank you, ma'am, at £10.
0:25:53 > 0:25:5612 anywhere now? At £10.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57With the lady at £10.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00All done. Selling at 10 then.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I do not believe that, £10.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Minus £35 overall. - I am flabbergasted at that.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08So what are we going to do about the vase?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Do you think it'll make a profit?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- Gonna stick with the tin?- Quickly.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14I think it's going to wipe its nose and make a fiver.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Are you sure about this?
0:26:16 > 0:26:17- I'm hoping. - Well, we're going with it.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- Here it is.- Now we come to the Burslem ware pottery
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Amstel ovoid vase, lot number 78.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25There we are, with a bird amongst foliage.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28And again, £20 for this one?
0:26:28 > 0:26:3010 pounds?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33The vase, £10? Nice decoration. £5?
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Final bid. Thank you, ma'am, at £5. Six anywhere now?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40At £5, six anywhere? At £5,
0:26:40 > 0:26:44six or no? Are you all done with it at £5?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Six or no?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49£5. That's OK. Minus £30 on that.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Oh, dear.- Minus £47.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Oh, and the rest.- Minus £47 overall.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58I only asked you whether you liked it.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59I didn't say you had to go for it.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- You talked us into that. - I never did. How could you say that?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Minus £30. Overall, you're minus £47.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- But the big thing is, don't tell the Reds about it.- OK.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Because minus £47 could be the winning score.
0:27:11 > 0:27:19And indeed, it is a winning score, minus £47 for the Blues. But remember, the Red girls lost £98.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Coming up, another set of Reds and Blues take on the Bargain Hunt challenge.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26But first, I'm off to somewhere stately.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34Just outside Plymouth, standing high above the River Plym, is Saltram.
0:27:34 > 0:27:39A wonderful example of an early Georgian house.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Originally, the house dated from the Tudor period.
0:27:43 > 0:27:50But in the 1740s, the local squire, John Parker, decided he was going to Georgianise it.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55Typically Georgian because it's symmetrical but it is unbelievably unfussy.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59If you strip out this central stone section, the porch,
0:27:59 > 0:28:04which is a Regency addition, it would have been unbelievably plain.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09What I want to show you, and what is special about the place, is inside.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Welcome to the saloon.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19And what a magnificent space it is. The saloon.
0:28:19 > 0:28:25Not the saloon you might expect to have in a Western movie. Oh no.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29This is the most sophisticated of spaces,
0:28:29 > 0:28:34that only the very rich and elegant would have enjoyed.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Of course, the Parkers wanted the very best and that's why
0:28:37 > 0:28:41they employed none other than the famous Scottish architect, Robert Adam.
0:28:46 > 0:28:51He gave you the whole wrap-round classical experience.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Because if you look up at that ceiling, we've got
0:28:54 > 0:28:58a central roundel contained by a concave-sided lozenge.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03Look down at the carpet and blow me, we've got another roundel,
0:29:03 > 0:29:09again contained by a concave-sided lozenge.
0:29:09 > 0:29:15One Thomas Whitty of Axminster made this carpet to mirror
0:29:15 > 0:29:21the Adam design in 1770 and he was paid 126 quid for it.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33You might have thought that Robert Adam, having done the major detail work
0:29:33 > 0:29:41in the ceiling and the carpet, for example, would just give up and go back to London. Not a bit of it.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42He was a perfectionist.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47Now, get rid of the hat and show you this door knob.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Who'd think that the man would bother with a door knob?
0:29:51 > 0:29:52Well, he did.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54He specified something in cast brass
0:29:54 > 0:29:56that was then mercury gilt.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00Here we've got a roundel on the end of the knob
0:30:00 > 0:30:05which more or less matches the roundel on the door.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08The back plate itself is scrolling foliage.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11If you wanted to lock the door,
0:30:11 > 0:30:16you'd simply hinge up that bottom petal and there's the keyhole.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21Let's say all you wanted to do was put the door on the latch and not
0:30:21 > 0:30:27use the key, you simply slide that and out comes a bolt from the lock
0:30:27 > 0:30:31itself enabling you to secure it from the inside
0:30:31 > 0:30:35if you wanted a bit of privacy. Amazing, isn't it?
0:30:35 > 0:30:39The big question is, are we going to see anything as amazing
0:30:39 > 0:30:40with our teams today?
0:30:42 > 0:30:48Hopefully, both the new teams will find amazing bargains a-plenty back at the Honiton Antique Centre.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52So let's meet our new sets of Reds and Blues.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57For the Reds, we've got Pippa and Jill, welcome.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00And we've got Debbie and Pam for the Blues.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04Now, Jill, you were once upon a time an airline hostess.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08I was, Tim, yes. I worked for British Airways for seven years.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10But you've had one or two experiences with the passengers on the plane.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14Yes, I have. There was a child travelling by himself and we went
0:31:14 > 0:31:18down with the drinks trolley and I asked him if he wanted a drink.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20He said, no. So, I thought, fair enough.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23I went back up and suddenly there was a call
0:31:23 > 0:31:27on the stewardess button and it was his seat and he said, "I do want a drink."
0:31:27 > 0:31:29I said, "I beg your pardon?" He said, "I want a drink."
0:31:29 > 0:31:32I said, "Haven't you forgotten one little word?"
0:31:32 > 0:31:35He said, "Oh, yeah, I want a drink now!"
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- Charming!- Delightful. - Yeah, he's probably grown up to be really ghastly, too.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Yes, I should imagine so.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Now, Pippa, I'm told that your lips are famous.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Well, my lips are actually on
0:31:47 > 0:31:51the front cover of all the Cancer Research UK leaflets in England.
0:31:51 > 0:31:56- Are they?- Yes.- So, were they specially selected, then? - In a way, I suppose.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59My grandma works for Cancer Research and they were doing a new campaign
0:31:59 > 0:32:02and needed a model for their leaflet and she suggested me, so...
0:32:02 > 0:32:04OK, give us a pout!
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Hold it!
0:32:06 > 0:32:08See, it gets better and better!
0:32:08 > 0:32:13- I understand you go in for a bit of pole dancing, too.- Yes, it has been known!
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Oh! I'm quite interested in pole dancing myself.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Do you do this professionally, or how...
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- Just amateur, although I am rather good!- Oh, are you!
0:32:22 > 0:32:27And modest with it, which is lovely! So, what's this for, fitness is it?
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Yeah, just fitness and fun, really.
0:32:29 > 0:32:34That's very interesting. I think you're going to do very well.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35The future is bright!
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Now, for the Blues!
0:32:37 > 0:32:44It says here Pam "Bat" Jones and Debbie "Shovel" McCann, so what's all that about, Pam?
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- Well, we've been playing in a darts team.- Darts!
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Yes, and I'm blind as, and she didn't hit a barn door with a shovel!
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- Now, Debbie, you're a school dinner lady.- I am, yeah.
0:32:55 > 0:32:56And you have a house in Croatia.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Yes.- And you own a bar out there.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01- Yes.- Tell me more about all of this.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04I'm a dinner lady at my daughter's school
0:33:04 > 0:33:10and we have a house in Croatia which we built about five years ago and we
0:33:10 > 0:33:15decided to go into partnership with someone over there with a bar in Zadar.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Is that where they chuck all the glasses and plates on the floor?
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- No, I think that's a different country.- Oh, is it? That's Greece, yeah.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- But you are a very competitive person.- I am, yes.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29- And you are determined to make profits on all three items today.- I am, yeah.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- I'm feeling a bit frightened by this. - So am I. I'm her partner!
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- But these girls, they're not scared. - We're not scared.- No!
0:33:35 > 0:33:41A mother-and-daughter team. This is the money moment. Here is your £300. £300 apiece.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- Thank you.- You know the rules!
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Your experts await and it's off you go and very, very, very good luck!
0:33:50 > 0:33:51What have you found?
0:33:51 > 0:33:53A lovely bit of tree.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Whoo!
0:33:55 > 0:34:00- Lovely tactile bit. - Oh, yes! That's gorgeous.- That is nice, isn't it?
0:34:00 > 0:34:06Often this sort of tureen is associated with dairy, you know?
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Butter making, cream, all this sort of thing.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13But this one feels as though there's been some chopping going on here.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- Oh, right! - So maybe, you know, sometimes
0:34:15 > 0:34:19you get those wide-bladed choppers with a handle like that.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Maybe they were chopping herbs in this or something,
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- and then you could just...- Scrape it out.- Scrape it out.
0:34:24 > 0:34:30It's just a lovely bit of elm. I think it's early-to-mid 19th century.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32It's temptingly priced at £35.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34- Good.- Which I think isn't bad anyway.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38- No.- But, I think I can get that lower, and I must say, in one of our
0:34:38 > 0:34:43tureen sales, we'd sell this for 50, 70, maybe 80, 120.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Really?- Goodness me.- Crikey! In that case, that's a definite.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48And I do, I think it's lovely.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- So do I.- Yes, please, James! - It could be our first bargain!
0:34:51 > 0:34:54It could! One of many!
0:34:54 > 0:34:59James spoke very nicely to the owner and knocked the price down to £25.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03It's a massager!
0:35:03 > 0:35:08As you roll it over your body, I suppose they pucker the skin
0:35:08 > 0:35:12and they would just massage it. I think it's a great thing, isn't it?
0:35:12 > 0:35:14How old do you think this is?
0:35:14 > 0:35:16I should think it's 1950s or '60s, isn't it?
0:35:16 > 0:35:20- I think it's a talking point at a dinner party.- You can say that again!
0:35:21 > 0:35:25- I picked it up half in jest. It's a fiver.- A fiver!
0:35:25 > 0:35:27How much do you think it'll bring?
0:35:27 > 0:35:31If they give it away, you'll only lose a fiver, which in Bargain Hunt terms is a real result!
0:35:31 > 0:35:36- As a matter of course, you should try and negotiate some discount on the price.- OK, then.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38- Off you go.- Thank you.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40I don't believe I'm doing this!
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Happy days!
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Deborah managed to half the price and got it for just £2.50.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50It's a heavy old fellow, isn't it?
0:35:50 > 0:35:51Yeah, it is. I love this.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55It's crudely done, all of this. It's almost chip carved, just sort of hand carved.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Probably been made by somebody with about two or three tools.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04I thought it was a cot at first, but it's actually a little window seat.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08- It does look cot-like, doesn't it? - What sort of wood would this be, then?- Well, it's hardwood.
0:36:08 > 0:36:13So, it's not our English oaks and elm or ash, this is a hardwood.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Sort of mahogany. - How old do you think this is?
0:36:16 > 0:36:18I don't know. I think most craftsman
0:36:18 > 0:36:21could have been working from the 18th century onwards.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- Ah! It's got £68.- Ummm.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26- What do you think?- £68?
0:36:26 > 0:36:29It's a decorative item and somebody may fall in love with it,
0:36:29 > 0:36:34but the further you can get it down, the greater the chance of profit.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39- See if we can get them down to 60. I'll give it a go.- I'll leave it with you.- Thank you.- Thanks.
0:36:39 > 0:36:45Pippa's pout must have done the trick because she bought it for a solid £60.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Phil?
0:36:50 > 0:36:52What do you think to this? Just for ornamental...
0:36:52 > 0:36:57- Just for ornamental?- Yeah. - It would be nice if it was Christopher Dresser.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- Who is Christopher Dresser? - A designer at the end of the 19th century
0:37:00 > 0:37:05who did a lot of sort of teapots and kettles in metalware, silver plate, copper, brass.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08When I started in this business, not that long ago,
0:37:08 > 0:37:11copper kettles made, like, 90 quid and they're now a tenner.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14This isn't copper, clearly, it's brass.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19I've noticed that the burner's not there, but apart from that, I like that.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24- You haven't said much yet. - Well, it's OK, but I'd like to know how much it is.
0:37:24 > 0:37:25- That makes two of us. How much is it?- £24.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29Yeah, get it down a bit. I mean, what do you think?
0:37:29 > 0:37:33I think it's got other problems because I think
0:37:33 > 0:37:36that this and that have got nothing to do with one another.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40- It almost should carry a health warning.- And what about age?
0:37:40 > 0:37:44I would think it's probably 1920s. 1900, 1920s, something like that.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- Yeah.- You know, in terms of antique merit, I don't think it's got too
0:37:48 > 0:37:50much going for it because of its problems,
0:37:50 > 0:37:53but I think that in any auction it ought to make £10 or £20.
0:37:53 > 0:37:59- Yeah?- I'll get that down.- You will? - No problem. OK. Come on, let's do the business.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- OK.- I've got every confidence in them.
0:38:01 > 0:38:07Deborah confidently negotiated the price down to a cool £15.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Step away from it! Step away from it!
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- Isn't that fantastic? - It is fun, isn't it?
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Evocative of which era, Jill?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19The '70s I'd say, definitely?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21So, we've got a rather fun globe.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23It's quite... It's nicely made.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27You would have had your glasses round the edge here and then you could have bottles.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31So, what would they have had, Cinzano, gin?
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Everything, and they're all hidden away.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39- £85.- Oh! No.- That's a lot of money. - That's going to be terrible.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- It's got to be really, really cheap, hasn't it?- Yeah.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46You never know, it could have lain here for five years.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- Yeah, he made might be glad to get rid of it.- Go really low.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51OK, we'll give it a try because I think this will sell.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- Go on, Pippa, let's leave your mother to her fate.- Good luck!
0:38:56 > 0:39:04Jill was really cheeky and charmed the owner down to a staggering £20.
0:39:04 > 0:39:05- Hi, girls!- Hi!
0:39:05 > 0:39:09- You like it?- She doesn't like it. This is my choice, for once.
0:39:09 > 0:39:15- I am pleased because you've got to choose something.- Yeah.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18It's a big old punchbowl or a fruit bowl
0:39:18 > 0:39:24and it's probably early part of the 20th century.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25What would you use it for?
0:39:25 > 0:39:28You can stick it on a hall table and have flowers in it if you want.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31One thing that occurs to me, right, hold it there, right?
0:39:31 > 0:39:33If you're going to fill that with something,
0:39:33 > 0:39:37all you've got is this thin band and this great big white expanse.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40And the minute you filled it, you'd lose everything that's inside it.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44No, you wouldn't want to fill it, but you could stick it on a dresser, or...
0:39:44 > 0:39:49- The bottom line is, how much is it? - 38 they're asking, which I think is too much, anyway.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Yeah, I think it's £15 to £30 worth, but more important than that,
0:39:53 > 0:39:59I have seen just that glimmer of enthusiasm seeping through.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00But I'm thrilled by that!
0:40:00 > 0:40:02I'm really, you know, I'm moved
0:40:02 > 0:40:06and on that basis and that basis alone, I think we should buy it.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09I don't care how much it costs, get it. Off you go.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10- I'm going to get some money off! - Go on!
0:40:10 > 0:40:16Pam managed to get a tenner off and bought it for £28.
0:40:16 > 0:40:21Time doesn't half rush by when you go pole dancing! Anyway, time's up!
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Let's go and see how the Red team have performed.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30They spent £25 on the 19th-century tureen elm bowl.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35The Indian hardwood seat cost them £60.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Let's hope someone at auction does fall in love with it.
0:40:38 > 0:40:43£20 paid for the globe drinks cabinet. Obviously,
0:40:43 > 0:40:45they were keen to get rid of it, but will anybody else want it?
0:40:45 > 0:40:47I doubt it.
0:40:47 > 0:40:53- Did you have a lovely shop, you girls?- Fantastic, thank you. - What was the best bit for you?
0:40:53 > 0:40:57- I think finding that fantastic globe.- Is that your favourite?
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- Absolutely.- Your favourite. What about you, Pip?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- I like the window seat. - That's your favourite?- Yes.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Will that bring the biggest profit?
0:41:04 > 0:41:06No, I think probably the wooden bowl.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- The wooden bowl?- I think so, too.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Mother and daughter united.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14That's a miracle! Anyway, you spent £105, which is pretty pathetic.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- So, here you go. - Thank you, Tim.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- £195, James Braxton.- Lovely.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Tell us, Mr Braxton, what are you going to spend all that money on?
0:41:24 > 0:41:27I almost intimately know the antique centre I'll buy it from.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Almost intimately? Are you friendly with the owner?
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Yeah, getting that way.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34That's how we'll have to buy it. We'll buy it on price.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- On price and charm.- Another loss, then!- Another loss!
0:41:37 > 0:41:42OK, well, you'd better shove off and be charming round the corner.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Let's recap on what the Blues bought.
0:41:45 > 0:41:50Deborah was sucked in by the back massager at £2.50.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Let's hope the people at the auction share her sense of humour.
0:41:53 > 0:41:58A brass kettle set set them back just £15.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Finally, Pam found something she liked
0:42:01 > 0:42:04and negotiated the Japanese style bowl down to £28.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09OK, Pams and Debs, did you have a good time shopping?
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- Very, yeah.- Very, very good. - Great day.- Great day.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Which is your favourite item, Pam?
0:42:14 > 0:42:18Hmm, well, actually, it's probably the massage stick.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- What about you, Debs? - The massage stick.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Right, that's your favourite.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:42:26 > 0:42:28The massage stick, the biggest smile that's going to bring!
0:42:28 > 0:42:32- Really? Well...- It can't lose that much, so, effectively
0:42:32 > 0:42:34it will be the biggest profit.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Well, as you only spent a miserable
0:42:36 > 0:42:42£45.50 out of the 300, please may I have £254.50?
0:42:42 > 0:42:45I don't know why I bother handing out this 300 any more.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47I know what they like, now.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- Do you?- I'm off up to the Ann Summers shop. I'll be right back.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Today we're with Martin McIlroy
0:42:58 > 0:43:01at Bearne's Auction House in glorious Devon.
0:43:01 > 0:43:02Good morning, Martin.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- Good morning, Tim.- Very nice to see you.- You too.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09- Pippa and Jill bought this window seat. Indian?- Just about.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11- And I would say awful.- Absolutely.
0:43:11 > 0:43:12And absolutely modern.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16They import these by the container load.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19- Yes.- Badly made, badly carved and probably overpriced.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22Well, what is your price on that?
0:43:22 > 0:43:24£20 if you were lucky.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26£20, if you're lucky. They paid 60.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29- Ouch!- So, that is a bit of a disaster, isn't it?- Yes.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32Now, for the viewers at home who are of a sensitive nature,
0:43:32 > 0:43:35they might close their eyes just for a second or two while I reveal one
0:43:35 > 0:43:42of the most repulsive objects I've ever seen, a terrestrial globe drinks cupboard.
0:43:42 > 0:43:46- How about that?- Awful.- Awful? - Absolutely awful.
0:43:46 > 0:43:47- Diabolically awful? - Diabolically awful.
0:43:47 > 0:43:52It is genuinely the most ghastly object conceivable.
0:43:52 > 0:43:56That's got that out of the system. Will it make a five pound note?
0:43:56 > 0:44:00- Yes, just about.- So, you'll put £10 to £20 on it and hope for the best?
0:44:00 > 0:44:03- And hope for the best, yeah. - OK, well the team paid £20 for it
0:44:03 > 0:44:05and, frankly, good luck to them.
0:44:05 > 0:44:11Next is this elm bowl, which I suspect came from the subcontinent, too.
0:44:11 > 0:44:15Yes, and probably came in the same container as the window seat.
0:44:15 > 0:44:20- So, it's a handy thing to put your keys in.- Yep, fruit.
0:44:20 > 0:44:24If you have those sort of parties in the West Country! How much?
0:44:24 > 0:44:28I think it's probably worth in the region of £20 to £30, Tim.
0:44:28 > 0:44:33- So, they paid £25. They might just be in with a chance.- Yeah, yeah.
0:44:33 > 0:44:36Bearing in mind how terrible the other things are, they certainly
0:44:36 > 0:44:38are going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it!
0:44:38 > 0:44:46So, Pips and Jills, you gave James Braxton £195. An awful lot of money.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48What did James spend it on?
0:44:48 > 0:44:51Here we go! I spent it on many things.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53- Ooh!- A little clutch of items. Only two each.
0:44:53 > 0:44:58Gosh, these are beautiful. Look at the beading. Oh, this is just my sort of thing.
0:44:58 > 0:45:02- James, this is a little pin cushion, am I right?- Exactly, exactly.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05How old these then, James, would you say?
0:45:05 > 0:45:07Late 19th century.
0:45:07 > 0:45:12- What's this one then, James? What's that for? - A little sewing companion.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15Ah, it's absolutely lovely. And this, I presume, is a needle case?
0:45:15 > 0:45:18- I can hardly see it let alone... - Oh, get a grip, James!
0:45:18 > 0:45:21This is James Braxton at his best!
0:45:21 > 0:45:23This is what we like to see!
0:45:23 > 0:45:26- How much did you pay for these, James?- £85 for the four.
0:45:26 > 0:45:30- I love them, James, well done. - What a great expert!
0:45:30 > 0:45:33But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer
0:45:33 > 0:45:36thinks about this heap of sewing accessories.
0:45:36 > 0:45:40Wonderful. It is absolutely superb, the details of that.
0:45:40 > 0:45:44Leather, stitched, tiny, tiny little stitches.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47- Yeah.- Just the quality. - A miniature pincushion.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50Then we've got this fellow which is for needles, isn't it?
0:45:50 > 0:45:53Yes, it's a needle case, with this beadwork on here
0:45:53 > 0:45:58again, which have all been stitched in, and has taken ages to do.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01I think we'll get somewhere in the region of about £50 to £70.
0:46:01 > 0:46:05Braxton will be disappointed. He paid £85.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09It just depends on the day, who's here, but they are very, very collectable.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11Good. Well, I'm glad you like them.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14- Yeah.- Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:46:14 > 0:46:18Dear old Debbie and Pam, they've gone for some wacky items.
0:46:18 > 0:46:24First of all is this punked roller massaging device.
0:46:24 > 0:46:28- There's not a lot more you can say on that! - I don't think it's been overused.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31- No, it's in very good condition. - It's in good nick.- It is. Everything the collector wants,
0:46:31 > 0:46:35unfortunately, I don't think anybody collects them!
0:46:35 > 0:46:39- At auction, maybe five pounds. Novelty item.- Well, £2.50 they paid.
0:46:39 > 0:46:43I mean, it's a silly thing to bring to auction, really.
0:46:43 > 0:46:47- Yeah.- But these girls are particularly silly, which is what's so lovely about them
0:46:47 > 0:46:50- Next is this spirit kettle.- Yep.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53It's missing its spirit burner, which is a tragedy.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56It's covered in dents and you want to clean it.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59- Who'd buy it, quite honestly? - Who'd buy it? Nobody wants it.
0:46:59 > 0:47:03- It might make a couple of quid, mightn't it? - If we get to £10, we'll be happy.
0:47:03 > 0:47:04They paid 15.
0:47:04 > 0:47:08The last piece is this big old bowl, transfer printed.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11- Is that any good?- It is. It would be better if it was complete.
0:47:11 > 0:47:17There should have been a soap dish and a jug to go to match it.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19It has got this kind of Chinoiserie
0:47:19 > 0:47:24transfer print decoration, which has been over-painted in ochre and black.
0:47:24 > 0:47:28It will fetch probably somewhere in the region of about £20.
0:47:28 > 0:47:32Well, that's not too bad. They paid £28, so they didn't go over the top with that.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35- No.- Who knows, you might get somebody to take you to 30.- Yes.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38But, overall, I've a funny feeling they're
0:47:38 > 0:47:42going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it!
0:47:43 > 0:47:46Da da! 30 quid, girls. What do you think?
0:47:46 > 0:47:50- Oh, I like that! - Do you? Birmingham silver, 1911.
0:47:50 > 0:47:54Oak cased calendar, and it works! £30.
0:47:54 > 0:47:58- How much do you think it'll make? - I think it will make between £30 and £50.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00A good prediction.
0:48:00 > 0:48:04- Well, we'll consider it seriously. - That's all you have to do, think about it.
0:48:04 > 0:48:09Right now we're going to find out what the auctioneer thinks about it, at least the viewers at home are.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12Desk furniture,
0:48:12 > 0:48:15items that sit on the top of the desk, are very much in demand.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17This is oak, silver mounted.
0:48:17 > 0:48:21It's a perpetual calendar. It just epitomises...
0:48:21 > 0:48:25I mean, it's George V, it's probably about 1935, and I think at auction
0:48:25 > 0:48:28this will do really rather well and I think we should get somewhere
0:48:28 > 0:48:31in the region of about £60 to £70 for it.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33- Will you really?- I think so, yes. - Well, that canny old dog
0:48:33 > 0:48:36- Serrell only paid £30 for it. - That's a good buy.
0:48:36 > 0:48:40- He'll be really chuffed. Well, isn't that exciting?!- It is.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43Anyway, we'll find out in a minute at the auction.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54Now, Pips and Jills, this is the auction.
0:48:54 > 0:48:58Look at this, mother and daughter smiling like cats!
0:48:58 > 0:49:00- Are feeling confident?- Yes!- Yes!
0:49:00 > 0:49:02That's what I love about you two.
0:49:02 > 0:49:06- Anyway, so, you're going to win by a huge margin?- Absolutely.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08- Unbelievably big margin!- Definitely.
0:49:08 > 0:49:14First up is going to be your window seat stroke shoe cleaning box and here it comes!
0:49:14 > 0:49:17Lot number 94 is the Indian carved and stained wooden window seat.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19There we are, £50 to start me?
0:49:19 > 0:49:2240 somewhere?
0:49:22 > 0:49:23£30?
0:49:23 > 0:49:2520, anybody?
0:49:25 > 0:49:29- £20 somewhere? £10?- Yes, come on.
0:49:29 > 0:49:34You can jump in at any time. £5? £5 I'm bid. Thank you, sir.
0:49:34 > 0:49:36At £5. Six anywhere now? Six?
0:49:36 > 0:49:39Seven. Eight. Nine.
0:49:39 > 0:49:4310. 12. 14 anywhere?
0:49:43 > 0:49:46At £12? 14?
0:49:46 > 0:49:48Are you all done at £12?
0:49:48 > 0:49:51- Oh, dear, £12.- For heaven's sake! What's wrong with these people?
0:49:51 > 0:49:53It's minus £48.
0:49:53 > 0:49:54- Oh, that's not good, Pip. - It's not a good start.
0:49:54 > 0:49:56Anyway, now, your globe.
0:49:56 > 0:50:00The reproduction terrestrial globe drinks cabinet.
0:50:00 > 0:50:06Who'll start me at £20 for this one? £10?
0:50:06 > 0:50:08- Come on! It's wonderful. - £10 anybody? £5?
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Oh, no, nobody wants it.
0:50:10 > 0:50:14A couple of pounds? It's quite big!
0:50:14 > 0:50:17Anybody? A pound?
0:50:17 > 0:50:20Thank you, ma'am.
0:50:20 > 0:50:21Please, do not leave the room!
0:50:21 > 0:50:24At £1. Two anywhere now? At a pound with the lady.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26At £1. Two anywhere now?
0:50:26 > 0:50:29At £1 and selling then.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31Well, done, that's £1.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33- Minus £19.- Well, done!
0:50:33 > 0:50:35This is not looking good.
0:50:35 > 0:50:41- So, here comes the bowl. - Lot number 96 is the elm bowl.
0:50:41 > 0:50:43£20 somewhere? £10? A nice wooden bowl at £10?
0:50:43 > 0:50:46Five anywhere? Five I'm bid, thank you, sir.
0:50:46 > 0:50:48At £5. Six. Seven.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50Eight. Nine.
0:50:50 > 0:50:5310. 12.
0:50:53 > 0:50:5714. At £14. In the doorway at £14.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59- Look out, James.- 16? At £16.
0:50:59 > 0:51:0118? You're out in the doorway now?
0:51:01 > 0:51:04At £16 and selling.
0:51:04 > 0:51:08£16. That is minus £9.
0:51:08 > 0:51:14- That's a try, really.- That was 28, 68, 76. Minus £76.- Oh, brilliant.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17- Minus 76, overall, right? Minus 76, girls.- Yeah.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20- What do you think about the sewing kits?- I love it.- You love it.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22- We both liked them, didn't we?- Yeah.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25- You both liked them?- Yeah.- Yeah. - We need this to redeem ourselves.
0:51:25 > 0:51:26We do. We've got nothing to lose.
0:51:26 > 0:51:31- £85's worth is being risked on this. - It's a lot, but I love them.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34We're going with the bonus buy, yes?
0:51:34 > 0:51:35- We're going with it.- Here it is.
0:51:35 > 0:51:39On we go to lot 100 now, which is the small Victorian patchwork
0:51:39 > 0:51:43and steel beaded pin cushion, needle cases, ribbon and threader.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45All sorts there. £50 somewhere?
0:51:45 > 0:51:48It's a nice lot. £30?
0:51:51 > 0:51:55- £20?- Oh, I don't believe it.- £10?
0:51:55 > 0:51:56Five anywhere?
0:51:56 > 0:52:01Five I'm bid, thank you. At £5. Six anywhere now? Six. Seven. Eight.
0:52:01 > 0:52:03Nine.
0:52:03 > 0:52:08At £9. ten anywhere now? It's selling then for nine.
0:52:08 > 0:52:11Selling for £9. £9.
0:52:11 > 0:52:17- Never mind.- So, that is minus £76, which rather neatly makes this
0:52:17 > 0:52:21£152-worth of losses. Let's not despair.
0:52:21 > 0:52:25Minus £152 could be a winning score!
0:52:25 > 0:52:28- All right? Anyway, don't tell the Blues a thing, all right?- No.- OK.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46- Do you know how the Reds got on?- No.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48You have no idea how the Reds did?
0:52:48 > 0:52:50- No.- We're pleased about that.
0:52:50 > 0:52:53First up then is Phil's massager. Here it comes.
0:52:53 > 0:52:55We now move on to lot 116.
0:52:55 > 0:52:59Lot 116, what we've all been waiting for, the massaging device!
0:52:59 > 0:53:02No home is complete without one of these!
0:53:02 > 0:53:04£10 for the massaging device?
0:53:04 > 0:53:07A bit of fun. £10 somebody?
0:53:07 > 0:53:09Roll your own. £5?
0:53:09 > 0:53:14£5 somebody? A couple of pounds?
0:53:14 > 0:53:18- They don't enjoy themselves much in Exeter, do they?- No.- £1?
0:53:18 > 0:53:22- Yes!- Oh, thank you. You can always use it for pastry if nothing else.
0:53:22 > 0:53:25- At £1. With the lady at £1. Two anywhere now?- Go on!
0:53:25 > 0:53:28Are you sure you don't want to bid? Selling for at £1.
0:53:28 > 0:53:31Sold for £1, that's minus £1.50.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34- Now, the tea kettle.- There we are.
0:53:34 > 0:53:38And, again, £10 for the brass kettle? £10 somewhere for it?
0:53:38 > 0:53:43£5? Five I'm bid. Thank you, ma'am, at £5.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46Six anywhere now? Are you all done with it at £5?
0:53:46 > 0:53:50- We will sell at £5 if you are all done.- Minus £10 on that.
0:53:50 > 0:53:54- That's not too bad!- Is it not? - No! Now, the bowl!
0:53:54 > 0:53:56Your bowl. Come on, Pammy.
0:53:56 > 0:54:00Now we come to lot 118, the transfer printed toilet bowl
0:54:00 > 0:54:02and, again, £20 for this one.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04It will look good somewhere. £20?
0:54:04 > 0:54:07£10 for it?
0:54:07 > 0:54:08£5?
0:54:08 > 0:54:11Five I'm bid, thank you, ma'am. At £5. Six?
0:54:11 > 0:54:13- Have we recruited this lady? - At £7.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16With the lady standing at £7. Eight anywhere?
0:54:16 > 0:54:19- Go on!- At £7. Eight, or no?
0:54:19 > 0:54:20I don't believe it!
0:54:20 > 0:54:22With the lady by the cabinet at £7.
0:54:22 > 0:54:26All done and selling then at £7.
0:54:26 > 0:54:31Minus £21. £31. Minus £32.50.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34- Oh, you... It's got to be risible! - £32. No, you'd think...
0:54:34 > 0:54:38When you spent £45.50, you'd think it would be difficult to lose £32.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41But we got there!
0:54:41 > 0:54:43So, what are you going to do about this calendar?
0:54:43 > 0:54:47- Oh, well, I can go for that. Why not?- Why not?
0:54:47 > 0:54:50- Are you going to do it?- Let's humiliate Phil as well!- No!
0:54:50 > 0:54:53Now you've decided you're going with your bonus buy,
0:54:53 > 0:54:56the auctioneer's estimate is £50 to £70 on it, all right?
0:54:56 > 0:54:57On to lot 122, now.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00We come to the oak and silver mounted perpetual desk calendar.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02And again, various commissions.
0:55:02 > 0:55:06The bid's with me at £20. £22 anywhere now? 22. 24.
0:55:06 > 0:55:0926. 28. At £28. 30 anyone now?
0:55:09 > 0:55:11Oh, another one!
0:55:11 > 0:55:14£30. 32. 34.
0:55:14 > 0:55:18- You're in profit, Phil, well done! - 38. 40? At £40.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21- Still with me a commission bid for £40.- It should go on. Go on!
0:55:21 > 0:55:25- 42 anywhere, now?- Go on! - At £40 then and selling.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28Well, done, Phil!
0:55:28 > 0:55:30- Better than nought. - Was that a profit?
0:55:30 > 0:55:32- It was!- Was that a profit, really?
0:55:32 > 0:55:34- It's the key word! - £10 profit, actually.
0:55:34 > 0:55:37Very good, Phil. Well done!
0:55:37 > 0:55:42So, overall then, you are only minus £22.50 thanks to Phil's
0:55:42 > 0:55:47generous interpretation and input. Minus £22.50.
0:55:47 > 0:55:51- That might be a winning score. Don't tell the Reds, all right?- No. - Keep quiet for the fun.
0:56:03 > 0:56:06What fun we've had today, haven't we? Haven't we had fun?
0:56:06 > 0:56:09- We have!- It's been super. Now, have you been talking?- No.
