0:00:03 > 0:00:07Mm, how lovely to be out shopping. Now that I've got my lunch,
0:00:07 > 0:00:13I'm going to head up the other end of Portobello Road, so let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:34 > 0:00:38# Some people sing about Deutsche girls and girls from California
0:00:38 > 0:00:40# They might be all right for a night all right
0:00:40 > 0:00:42# But don't trust them, I warn ya
0:00:42 > 0:00:45# I've been to the east and I've been out west
0:00:45 > 0:00:47# And I been all the world around
0:00:47 > 0:00:52# But I've seen none come anywhere near the girls from London town. #
0:00:52 > 0:00:58Portobello Road is one of the most distinctive and famous markets in London,
0:00:58 > 0:01:04where you can still stroll along and hear the familiar sound of Cock-er-ney rhyming slang.
0:01:04 > 0:01:11Right, I'm Hank Marvin and I'm going to finish my Gertie Gitanas
0:01:11 > 0:01:17before I head off down to the Frog and Toad to meet my old chinas on today's show.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Let's introduce today's teams.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29We've got Prudence and her workmate, Mitch.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Oh, no, it's Michael or Mike, preferably.- Never Mitch?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Never Mitch, unless I'm in Baywatch maybe.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38OK, well we're not doing Baywatch so you're safe there.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42And for the Blues, we've got Joe and his friend, Carlie. Hiya.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43- Hi, Tim.- Lovely. Now Prudence...
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- Hello, Tim.- What do you do for a job at work, darling?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I work for a recruitment company in the City of London.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- But what do you do in your spare time?- I love to sing jazz, Tim.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- Ooh.- I do, yes, very much. - Do you do clubs and that? - I do, I go round London
0:01:56 > 0:01:58and do different clubs and bars, and I love it.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Are you going to give us a little trill,
0:02:01 > 0:02:02a little demo of your vocal skills?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Do you feel like doing that?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07How about we do a little private show later?
0:02:07 > 0:02:11I see, it's like that, is it? Now what sort of track record have you got, Michael?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Oh, what, in terms of collecting things?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Yeah, buying and selling.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Oh, OK, I've done a bit of online bidding recently, bought a few cars online.
0:02:19 > 0:02:25Um, had a few good experiences, a few bad experiences, and at one stage I owned about five VWs.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- You didn't.- Yeah. - That's a fleet, that is.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30I was living at home as well, so I had to hide one round
0:02:30 > 0:02:32a neighbour's house, one was outside my house...
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Popular with your parents, I should think.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Five motor cars. - Quite expensive, yeah.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40You've got a lot of time on your hands to build up this collection,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44because of the longevity of your family, which is extraordinary.
0:02:44 > 0:02:50- Now tell me about that.- Well, my great grandmother, she turned 102 in December, December the 15th.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55- She didn't?- Yeah, 102. She lives in Belize, which is where my mum's from originally.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59And I think her mother lived to be, I think, 104.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02So, yeah, it's pretty good. I'm only 25, I've got a few years to go.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Hopefully it's in your genes.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Best place to keep it. Now for the Blues.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10How are you two? How did you two meet?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I'm best mates with her boyfriend, and we actually met
0:03:13 > 0:03:17at an American football game that he was actually involved in here in London.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Lovely. I can tell that you're not from these shores. Where do you come from?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- From New Jersey in the US. - What are you doing here?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26I was brought over here by a master's programme at King's College London
0:03:26 > 0:03:28in criminology and criminal justice.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Criminology and criminal justice.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Yes. I plan to go in the FBI, so...
0:03:33 > 0:03:36But you haven't got the suit or the shiny shoes.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41No, right, no, I'm trying to blend in into London, you know, with the dull shoes and the jeans.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44You're obviously incognito, aren't you?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Right. No, that's CIA. That's a whole other story.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- Oh, is that not...?- Mum's the word.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51FBI, they never do incognito?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55And why have you chosen Carlie rather than her boyfriend?
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Well, I thought of using her boyfriend, but when I thought, "Who looks best on camera?"
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- It was Carlie by far. - Do you know, you're right.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05So Carlie, were you flattered to be asked?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I was, absolutely, absolutely, I thought it'd be a lot of fun.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Of course he's got all these brains, hasn't he?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13I mean, master's, criminology...
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Does he knows everything about everything?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17He does know everything about everything. He's...
0:04:17 > 0:04:22an encyclopaedia of knowledge, is Joe, so I thought I might learn something.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Do you collect anything?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Not what you would regard as antiques as yet.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I've got a bit of a shoe passion.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Fetish?- Fetish? Maybe.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33How many pairs you got?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I've probably got on the last count over 60, 70 pairs of shoes.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- That's a fetish, don't worry about it.- Potentially.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43And what will you be looking out for today? Not shoes, I hope.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Not shoes, not shoes. I've kind of left the master plan down to Joe, as I said Joe's got the knowledge,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- I'm just going to see something, if I like it, I'm going to buy it. - Just so long as it's pretty.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Indeed.- Now, the money moment.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Here's your sausage and mash. You know the rules, off you go!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Watch out for the apples and pears.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Today's fruit cocktail of experts is comprised of the a-peel-ing
0:05:09 > 0:05:14Philip Serrell and the totally bananas David Barby.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24So, tell me, princess...
0:05:24 > 0:05:27No, I don't wear it like this, I think I prefer it like this.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Oh, you're after a cool look.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Where is she?- Pru? I don't know, She should be coming soon.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Oh.- She's over here. - Look what I found.- What's that?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Isn't it rather gorgeous? It's a lovely silver handbag.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41I thought it's lovely. I thought I'd see what Phil thought
0:05:41 > 0:05:44and see what's the best price according to our expert.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46How do you know it's silver?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Mm, because of that stamp. - That stamp there.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- And what does that stamp there mean? - No idea.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53That stamp there's a little lion,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55that tells us that it is indeed silver.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- OK.- That leopard's head tells us that it was assayed in London.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02That F is the date code, which is, I would guess is around 1900.
0:06:02 > 0:06:08- OK.- So you've got a silver frame, and this mesh bag here, and actually what is quite nice...- Yeah.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- I'm sure you spotted this. - Of course I did, yes.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Is that each of these links is separately hallmarked.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- That's lovely. - Which is really cool.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Yeah, I did notice that, I was just about to say.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Right.- It's quite heavy, isn't it?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24What do you reckon, princess? Is that...?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I think it's quite heavy.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31Heavy should mean quite costly I think. It's got a fair bit of silver to it...
0:06:31 > 0:06:34On that basis I'm worth a fortune, if anything's costly.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37It's got marks on all of it, so that must be quite a good sign.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Bargain Hunt's about your day, and I want you to buy what you want to buy.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I think, if this came into my sale room, I'd estimate it
0:06:45 > 0:06:49at £50 to £80, £60 to £90, that sort of region. How much is it?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51185.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53# There may be trouble ahead... #
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Ha, Prudence got £50 off, but she'll have to face the music at the auction.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Excuse me, sir. Guys, come here, come here.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16What's that?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Look at that.- Ooh. - Those are very nice, aren't they?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21They're fantastic, aren't they?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Oh, look, Poile and Smith, court jewellers.- What does that mean?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Well, that company produced jewellery for the court.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33It could have been court regalia, it could have been court awards.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37If you wore expensive buttons like this it would show that you're quite affluent.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40In the Georgian period they even had diamonds in buttons,
0:07:40 > 0:07:42so they were a quite important piece of dress.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45They're in the style of that period, are they?
0:07:45 > 0:07:49They're not art nouveau, they're looking back to the Georgian style
0:07:49 > 0:07:51with all these sort of rococo scroll works.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- They are lovely. - I think they're gorgeous.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Yeah, my only concern is the fact that the hallmarks, where they're present,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01where the makers' marks are present, they're a bit worn.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03So consistency might be an issue.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Oh, not at all, these are collectors' items.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- I have seen people use them as brooches...- Really?- Earrings...
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Earrings, yeah.- Because you can get a special adaptor for earrings.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- They're really... - Aren't they beautiful?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I think they're very pretty.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22I think they're exquisite actually, and the very fact that we've got them in the original box,
0:08:22 > 0:08:27and they're by Poile and Smith here. I think they're going to sell extremely well.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- So how much were they? - They were £85.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32£85. I think they're cheap at £85.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- Really?- Yeah. They're very good collectors' items, particularly with the court jewellers.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I'd pay £85 for them. If you can get them less...
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- I think we can.- All well and good.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- And you think they're stunning. - I do.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- I think they're stunning. - I think they're stunning.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Good, we agree.- Let's go haggle. - Let's do it.- Come on!
0:08:48 > 0:08:53Carlie loved Joe's crown jewels, and managed to get them down to £65.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10I don't know where Philip is. Let's go and have a look for him.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- Why don't we use our compass to find him?- Oh, there he is, there.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Oh, there he is.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Hi.- Well, well, it works.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I think that's absolutely lovely.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- I've just bought it. - You've bought it?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Don't tell me how much.- Let me sell it into you a little bit.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Go on, then, tell me all about it.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Solid mahogany wood.- Yeah.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31What other sort of mahogany would you have?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Solid mahogany wood,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36hinges still intact...
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- Yeah. - Quite often the hinges go on these.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41He's good isn't he, yeah, yeah?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Nice, possibly brass edging there to the compass.- He's is good.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Reset button there still works if you want to check that, it's there.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50No, what that is, that's... Reset!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53What that actually does...
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Now listen, princess. Right, what this actually does is when you shut the lid,
0:09:58 > 0:10:03it just lifts up like that. So as you shut the lid, it pushes it down, and just rests it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- How old did he tell you it was?- I think he said 1950s, possibly.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- No, it's earlier than that. - Is it?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Yeah. I would think it was earlier than that.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14I should have paid more attention to it, when I was... I just liked it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17On an antique programme, a question like, "How old do you think it is?"
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Always worth listening to the answer.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Can't remember, it's old, it's really old.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- It's older than me! - It looks old.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27I would think that perhaps it's more like 1900 or even a bit earlier.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- OK.- I think it's probably £30 to £50 worth.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32OK. We've got good news and bad news.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- OK, so what's the good news?- The good news is that I did some mean...
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Mean negotiating. - Mean haggling, yeah.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- So what was he asking for it? - He was asking 80 for it.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- Right, when I said 30 to 50 I meant 30 to 50, not 30 and 50.- Oh, OK.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Well, he was asking 80 for it, so...
0:10:48 > 0:10:50What are you laughing at?
0:10:50 > 0:10:54And I got it for 65.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Oh, good negotiation.- Yeah.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Right...- I was only 15 quid off the top, the top...
0:11:00 > 0:11:04No, honestly, I like your style, princess, I do like your style,
0:11:04 > 0:11:08but I'm just a bit bothered actually that we might be in trouble here.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12All we can do really is just live in hope, isn't it?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Well, I think it's... - I think it's rather nice, yeah.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Now, don't forget the bonus buy.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30That's where the money not spent by the teams is given to the expert,
0:11:30 > 0:11:36who goes to find another item which hopefully will make even more at auction.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40More of that later, right now it's on with the shopping.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Watch yourself, yeah.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- I love it, I think it's really nice. - Dave's going to love it. - He will.- Yeah.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48It's classic, who wouldn't like it? Everybody'd like that.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- I know.- I love it, I love it.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- Put it back, you don't know where it's been.- Oh, I love it.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55You haven't bought it, have you?
0:11:55 > 0:11:56You haven't bought it?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59You have, haven't you?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Well, what would you say if we had?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I'd like to have seen it first. How much did you pay for it?
0:12:04 > 0:12:08We paid £36.50 I think in the end.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- £36.50.- But it...but it was 40.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- 48 actually.- Was it 48?- Yeah.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15OK. Just tell me why you went for it.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Because I think any girl would like it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22It's practical, you could put rings in it, you could put jewellery in it...
0:12:22 > 0:12:24This is a tourist piece.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Late 19th early, 20th century, bought in Bavaria,
0:12:26 > 0:12:30probably they paid a visit to Oberammergau, something like that.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33And they thought, "We'll take that back to Louise," their daughter
0:12:33 > 0:12:36back home. This is what it is, a tourist piece.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40It has got some concessions, I like this element of carving here which
0:12:40 > 0:12:44is reminiscent of art nouveau, but they're almost commonplace.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46It's nothing exceptional.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48But it is quite cheap.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52If it's commonplace a lot of people would like it, people will bid for it.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57That's true. Not to mention that even with the age, the carving itself is perfect, it's immaculate.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00There's nothing, no dinks or anything.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- And that's the important thing. - There's an element missing here.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06That's probably a flower head missing there, the finial to lift it open.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08It's cheap enough, I quite agree.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- I like it.- You just bought it because it was cheap?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- No, I like it. - You like it, good.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13I'm sure it'll make a profit.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18I'll tell you something, if it does make a profit, I'll eat my hat.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I'll hold you to it.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32The Portobello Market is the most extraordinary place.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36You get the wacky, you get the obscure, and you also get
0:13:36 > 0:13:42the exquisite top quality object that you wouldn't find anywhere better
0:13:42 > 0:13:47in the West End, for example this piece.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52They say that diamonds are a girl's best friend, you'd get lots of girls
0:13:52 > 0:13:56who'd be mighty friendly if you presented them with this little baby.
0:13:56 > 0:14:03This would have been made around 1920 to 1930 and might have graced
0:14:03 > 0:14:09the greatest of actresses' or aristocrats' wrists.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12It's a most sophisticated design.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15We start off with a socking great diamond
0:14:15 > 0:14:17in the middle that leads your eye
0:14:17 > 0:14:23into this tapering spine of diamonds, each one a little bit smaller than
0:14:23 > 0:14:28the other, which gives it this gorgeous rich tapering effect.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33Outside that are a multitude of smaller stones in the outer links,
0:14:33 > 0:14:38and just occasionally you come across a baguette cut diamond.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41That's this long thin shaped diamond,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44which just jollies up the overall visual appearance.
0:14:44 > 0:14:50There are apparently 28 carats of diamonds in this bracelet,
0:14:50 > 0:14:55and it would cost you here today at Portobello £28,000.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59That's right, 28 grand, wow.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Phil, what have you found?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Look, great thing, Georgian tea caddy, mahogany, 150 quid.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08- Yes?- Too expensive.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- Nah, nah, I don't think so Phil. - Too expensive.- Good try, good try.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20This is a great thing, look.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Victorian three piece tea set, £70. Can't fail.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25No, I'm more of a coffee man, Phil.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Hi, there's a really lovely big pewter...
0:15:34 > 0:15:39It's actually a really lovely pewter tankard, and they've walked past me.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53At a distance that looks like Faberge.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- That's a bit more like it. - Faberge, Faberge.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Yeah, the trouble is the distance is about 300 yards.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- Well, how big's the auction house? - Not that big.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Why do you like that?
0:16:04 > 0:16:05We were a little bit out of time, Phil...
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Little bit out of time, about three minutes left!
0:16:08 > 0:16:11We had three minutes to find something, and it caught my eye,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13and I just think it's a rather nice thing.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- I don't know what it is. - What about you, princess?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I don't know, it's quite cool. I could find a use for it, a shot glass.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23- Good man, big shot glass. - Big shot glass. I think it's quite nice, it's quite bright and vibrant.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- I think it's really nice, right. - Oh, thanks.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29And these colours look like it might be Russian, so it looks like
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- a little Russian drinking glass. - OK.- OK.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- Possibly by Faberge, but I don't think it's Russian. - It's got a small marking there.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38There's a mark on the bottom which I don't understand at all.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39- Gold? Gold mark?- No. Absolutely not.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43I would think it's European, might be Italian.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I don't think it's as old as it wants you to think it is,
0:16:46 > 0:16:49and it's trying to be Faberge which it isn't.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53So in my eyes, at auction, that's £15 to £30.
0:16:53 > 0:16:59- On a bad day it's a tenner. So how much did you pay?- You can tell him.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- 50 quid.- What? - SHE CHUCKLES
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Well, we were in a bit of a rush, Phil, you see.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07We though, "Well, we'll take it."
0:17:07 > 0:17:10It's all gone rather well today, hasn't it?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13We look like we're going to make a mint, Phil.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I'm just going to go and find myself a huge hole
0:17:15 > 0:17:17to see if I can bury myself in it.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Do you want a drink? - No, I'm fine, thanks.
0:17:19 > 0:17:25Well, despite Philip's disapproval, the Red Team snapped up the tumbler for £50.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30Now, let's see what Agent Scully has sniffed out for the Blues' final item.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Oh, that sounds promising. - Oh, Joe...
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Is it decent?- Well, I think so.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43I think that's quite good. Now, tell me what you think about it.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- It's a really charming piece. - So what do you put in it?
0:17:46 > 0:17:51I don't know, a port, red wine, maybe even a hard liquor of some sort, like Scotch or something?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- I think it's what is termed as a claret jug.- A claret jug.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57So the actual wine could breathe.
0:17:57 > 0:18:04- Right, OK.- OK, I look at this, and I date it towards the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08This is German. At that particular time there was a move towards nationalism,
0:18:08 > 0:18:13particularly in the arts, and they were looking back to the past.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17And this type of ware where you're looking at something quite rural
0:18:17 > 0:18:21and romantic they've adopted as a piece of furnishing on the table.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24I think it's lovely. What I like also, do you see that, Carlie?
0:18:24 > 0:18:30- Uh-huh.- What is it?- A wooden... - A wood strip.- Strip.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33So they've used something so simple as a wood strip there
0:18:33 > 0:18:37to emphasise the design point. I think it's lovely.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Nothing expensive or blingy, just a strip of wood.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43The wood piece is what caught my eye originally.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- That really does stand out to me. - What do you think, Carlie?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49I'm just not sure, I just think I probably wouldn't have it in my house.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Why not?- Take a look. - I just think...
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Let it speak to you.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01- It's not really saying much. - It's not saying much, great, great.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- To me it speaks of a period. - Yeah, absolutely.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05How much would you pay for it though? That's the thing.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I'm going to ask for under 100.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11I wouldn't pay more than 100, so I think maybe 80.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- OK.- Let's see what we can get around that.- OK, best of luck.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Thank you, guys, I'm off.- Thank you.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Are you as bad as that when you go shopping for clothes?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Yeah, absolutely!
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Time's up. Let's remind ourselves of what the Reds bought.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31The headstrong Reds knew what they wanted,
0:19:31 > 0:19:35starting with this mesh purse for £135.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Has Michael lost his way with the Victorian compass?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41And it's not Faberge, it's not gold, it's not likely
0:19:41 > 0:19:44to make them a profit at £50. Poor old Phil.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Have a good time shopping? - Quality.- Yes, brilliant.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49- Quality, I love it.- Quality.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Which is your favourite item, Prudence?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54It's got to be the silver handbag, Tim, I love it.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit? CHUCKLING
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Enough of that, Serrell.- All of them. They're all going to make a lot of money.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04No, you've got to pick one. Which one is going to make the most profit,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Prudence?- OK, my favourite, the silver handbag.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09You spent £250, which is fantastic.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14£50 of leftover lolly goes to Philip. Now I should say, Philip, there's been a bit of a struggle today.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17They've spent £250 on about 120 quid's worth of stuff,
0:20:17 > 0:20:18that was the problem.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- That's your prediction, is it? - Yeah, we might be doomed here.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Do you know what you're going to have to do with that £50?- Work miracles.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Miracle, miracle. Off you go Phil, and good luck.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Let's remind ourselves of what the Blues bought.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Joe pressed all the right buttons
0:20:36 > 0:20:40when he snapped this little lot up for £65.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45Carlie's box had David eating his hat for £36.50, and finally,
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Joe uncovered this claret jug for less than a ton.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Now Carlie and Joe, you had a great time, didn't you?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Fantastic time.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Did it live up to your expectations, this shopping lark?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- Yeah, it was excellent. - Absolutely.- Really good.- Fun.
0:20:59 > 0:21:05- Carlie, which is your favourite piece?- I like the pretty button set.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Button set is your favourite.- Yeah.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- And what's your favourite? - I like them all. I mean...
0:21:11 > 0:21:14But if you had to make a prediction, which is your favourite?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Which gets you in your tummy, what really excites you?
0:21:16 > 0:21:20I have to say that wooden box, just to poke fun at David, who really hates it.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- You'd say the box.- I'll say the box. - Is that the truth?- It is.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27I'm a budding criminologist, I can tell, there's a waver of doubt in your mind.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Maybe you should join too then.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- I should put you on the lie detector.- Maybe you should.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Seriously, your favourite is the box?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- Yeah.- OK, fine. You spent £191.50, which is a really queer number, but
0:21:38 > 0:21:44there you go, £108.50 comes across to you, David Barby.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Right. They're quite a handful, you know, Tim.
0:21:47 > 0:21:53- Are they?- Really, yes. I've got to find something, cos they're so determined to make profit.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58Well, you usually do make a profit on your bonus buy, so you just have to relax up.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01You're the genius that goes and finds these things.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Am I going to get out of this door?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I don't know, is your head small enough?
0:22:05 > 0:22:09For me, I'm going to head somewhere really special now.
0:22:09 > 0:22:15We're off to no less a place than the Victoria And Albert Museum. Ooh.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I'm starting on Northumberland Avenue in London.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22In the 1600s this and the neighbouring area, the Strand
0:22:22 > 0:22:27would have been filled with mansions belonging to London's richest.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29If you were of noble stock,
0:22:29 > 0:22:36then this spot would have made the ideal location for a grand home.
0:22:36 > 0:22:43What a shame though, because the grandest of Jacobean country houses, belonging to the Percy family,
0:22:43 > 0:22:51otherwise known as the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, used to be situated exactly here.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Northumberland House, the Percys' London ancestral home,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01was built in 1605.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06By the 1870s it had been demolished, to make way for this road.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18The problem was that by the Victorian period,
0:23:18 > 0:23:23this area simply wasn't fashionable for a duke and duchess to live in.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27The other ancestral houses up the Strand were being developed,
0:23:27 > 0:23:34and the old duke was given £500,000 to shove off.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37This redevelopment coincided with the movement around the early 1900s
0:23:37 > 0:23:43for tearing down grand mansions, or redeveloping them
0:23:43 > 0:23:47into service apartments, removing along with the buildings
0:23:47 > 0:23:50exquisite original architectural fittings.
0:23:50 > 0:23:56But all is not lost. I've come here, to the Victoria And Albert Museum.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Robert Adam, the renowned Scottish-born architect,
0:24:07 > 0:24:11was commissioned by the Duke of Northumberland to refurbish some of
0:24:11 > 0:24:16the state rooms at Northumberland House, which he did in the 1770s.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Those interiors would have been lost to the public today,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23were it not for the V&A.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28The panelling that was ripped out when the structure was
0:24:28 > 0:24:33demolished in Northumberland Avenue went into store for 50 years.
0:24:33 > 0:24:40And what we see behind me is a surviving fragment of what was called the glass drawing room.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Why the glass drawing room?
0:24:41 > 0:24:46Well, if you look carefully, nearly all that surface is made up
0:24:46 > 0:24:48of individual large sheets of glass,
0:24:48 > 0:24:53with coloured material behind them to give this exotic effect.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57What Robert Adam is trying to achieve is the effect of Roman marble,
0:24:57 > 0:25:01because that's what Robert Adam was trying to emulate,
0:25:01 > 0:25:06the marble from Roman villas that he had seen in the excavations
0:25:06 > 0:25:11at Pompeii, and all part of his passion for the Classical revival.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15We've got candelabra ornament going up and down these panels.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Those are made of cast gilt lead,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21and just look at the dense encrustation
0:25:21 > 0:25:24around for example that door frame.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26What an incredible effect.
0:25:26 > 0:25:32But what would the whole room have looked like? Well, the V&A have constructed a model.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36This sheet of glass represents this end wall.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40If you went through that door this is what you'd see.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Spectacular.
0:25:41 > 0:25:48The big question is today, will our teams make a spectacular profit over at the auction? Robert.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Well, we're in a grand county, West Sussex, Wisborough Green
0:26:03 > 0:26:06to be precise, and at Bellmans Auction House with Jonathan Prior.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- Good morning, Jon.- Good morning, Tim. - Great to be here.- Thank you.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Now, this hallmarked silver bag from Prudence and Michael,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16it must have been a great fashion then, cos there are quite a few
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- of these mesh bags about, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21But what would somebody do with it today,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24because no girl's going to wear that out and about much, is she?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Yeah, you're not going to head out to Horsham with that, you'll get laughed at, won't you?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31You'll get your mobile phone in there, that's it.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Mobile phone and your lipstick, and you're away. Quite.- Absolutely.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I've priced it at £40 to £60.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- Have you?- Yeah.- £135 paid. - That does seem optimistic to me.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44£135 is a lot.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49Then we've got this travelling compass in a crude mahogany box.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Nothing wrong with it. It's from that period, early 19th century.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- Paper scale, it's very simple though.- Yes.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56So how much, is it worth £20?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Yeah, 30, £30 to £50 on that.- That's your estimate, £30 to £50?- Yeah.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01That's not too bad, £65 paid.
0:27:01 > 0:27:07Now Prudence got very hot under the collar about her little vodka tumbler.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Tell us about that.
0:27:09 > 0:27:15Well, crikey, you know the Russians have been buying big until recently.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- Would they be going for that? - No, it's base metal and enamel. I mean, it really...- Yes.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22It's not silver gilt, which one would hope it would be at least.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I think, you know, if we're talking about entry level,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28this is your entry level vodka cup, isn't it?
0:27:28 > 0:27:29- Oh, lordy.- Sadly.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- Yeah.- Personally, I don't rate it very highly at all.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- What would be your estimate then? - I'd say between £10 and £20.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Oh, £40 paid.
0:27:37 > 0:27:44So we've got three entry level objects, all of which seem to have been acquired for too much money.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49So they're going to need their bonus buy, let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- Prudence and Mick, how are you both?- Good, Tim, how are you?- Good.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Look, you told us in the shopping, that little beaker, that rusty job...
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- Yeah. - Right, that you paid £50 for that.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Yeah.- You didn't pay £50 for that at all, you paid £40 for it.- Did I?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- Yeah, you paid £40. - Sorry, got it wrong!
0:28:04 > 0:28:08So, actually, overall you spent £240,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11so Philip Serrell had £60 of leftover money.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- So what did you spend it on, Phil? - Oh, nice!
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Wow. Oh, yeah, we talked about these things.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19I see no ships. Do you like that?
0:28:19 > 0:28:21- Yeah, I definitely like it.- You do? - Does it work?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- What do you mean, does it work? - I mean, does it work?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26- Have a look.- It's very nice.
0:28:26 > 0:28:31- Bearing in mind your eyesight... - Yeah, I was just...I feel really old now.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Kids, eh? You feel really old?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36I tell you, you want to stand in these shoes.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- It's...- How much?- £45.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41It's about 1880, there or thereabouts, a little two drawer
0:28:41 > 0:28:44telescope, and I think at auction that's going to make £40 to £60.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- I like it.- You do.- Yeah.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49You're going to let Prudence handle it then, or not? Let the girl have a go!
0:28:49 > 0:28:52It's very nice. Well chosen, Phil, I think.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Oh, gosh! That's the seal of approval, isn't it?
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Go on, try opening it up, Pru.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- Right, there we go. - Give it the business.
0:29:00 > 0:29:05- Arr!- Emma Hamilton. - Yeah, definitely old, yeah.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09- I'm sorry? What are you talking?- No, I just looked up a bit closer, Phil, sorry.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- Chuh!- So, guys, you don't decide right now.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15You decide after the sale of your first three items,
0:29:15 > 0:29:19but for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Philip's spyglass.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Well, that seems to be quite clean and tidy.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Yeah, it's rather neat, isn't it?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Lacquered brass three drawer telescope, mahogany sleeve,
0:29:27 > 0:29:31it's right for the end of the 19th century, sort of circa 1880.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34The drawback here is just that little split that
0:29:34 > 0:29:37runs down the mahogany, but it's survived pretty well, hasn't it?
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- You like it, then? - Well, it's kind of...- You rate it.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44It's neat, isn't it, nice and small and dinky example, you know, £30 to £50.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- £30 to £50 your estimate. - Yes.- Thank you, fine.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Philip Serrell paid £45, it's his bonus buy, he's hoping for the best,
0:29:50 > 0:29:53and why shouldn't he, with a jolly little thing like that?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55That's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Their first item is the jug.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02It's quite a smart thing, nicely moulded to look like a barrel,
0:30:02 > 0:30:06probably made on the Continent, probably Austria or Germany or something like that.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- A manufactured product?- Yeah.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10- So it's out of a factory, isn't it? - Absolutely.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14But they've got the glass and the metalwork nicely unified.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Quite a tight fit to the thing. I mean, it works well from that point of view.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20What's the estimate, Jonathan?
0:30:20 > 0:30:24I think probably we'll get between sort of £60 and £90 for that.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28Well, good, I mean you need to kick on cos £90 is paid.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- Yeah.- But it's got a chance anyway. - Absolutely.- And it's got the look.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35What about this Bavarian carved touristy novelty box?
0:30:35 > 0:30:39People do collect this sort of carved wood, and it's nice, this high relief
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- floral bocage of edelweiss. - Alpine flowers, yeah, yeah.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Alpine flowers, edelweiss.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47£20 to £40 is the estimate for this one.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50£36.50 they paid.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- They might just get that. - You might, which is good.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Now what about the buttons, they look flash, don't they?
0:30:54 > 0:30:57They do, aren't they smart? Nice big ones,
0:30:57 > 0:31:00sort of rococo-type scrolling to it, it's very smart, really.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- Yes.- I think we're going to get somewhere between £50
0:31:03 > 0:31:04and £70 pounds for them for sure.
0:31:04 > 0:31:09- Oh, that's great, £65 paid, and who knows, you might make 80 which'd be brilliant.- Yeah, yeah.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14Overall though, they might well need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16So you two cats, you OK?
0:31:16 > 0:31:17- We're good.- Yeah, yeah.- You're good.
0:31:17 > 0:31:25You spent £191.50, you should be good, you gave David £108.50, what did he spend all that money on?
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- Let's see. - Well, a cornucopia of riches.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- Rather like that.- Interesting. Why did you purchase this?
0:31:31 > 0:31:35I had ten minutes.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38They told me I would have half an hour to do shopping,
0:31:38 > 0:31:41and when I got to the shops they'd all closed down except for one,
0:31:41 > 0:31:45and there was this on the shelf, I thought, "That's absolutely beautiful."
0:31:45 > 0:31:48They originally wanted £70 for it, I got it down for £40.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- Really?- I think it's rather nice.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53It's sort of late Regency coming into William the Fourth.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56There should be a pair of them.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00I would find though not having the other one might be a problem.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03If the other one was there, they'd be considerably more.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06This is a typical forensic scientist this, looking at this.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10This is a criminologist looking for a fingerprint.
0:32:10 > 0:32:11- Sorry.- Every crack...
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Thank goodness I'm not holding it, otherwise I'd be shaking!
0:32:15 > 0:32:18You're definitely guilty I'd say looking at you. Just look at his shifty eyes.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Well, how much profit do you think it'll make?
0:32:21 > 0:32:24I would think probably somewhere between 60 and 70.
0:32:24 > 0:32:2660 and 70, OK.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29And all you have to do is to hold that thought.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32You heard him say £60 to £70, you may or may not need to take
0:32:32 > 0:32:38this cornucopia of delights, but for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about it.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42So, is this a cornucopia of delights?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44A cornucopia of something.
0:32:44 > 0:32:51As a pair it would be very nice in top order, but one or two minor imperfections to the rim there...
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- Yes.- With a big chunk out of somewhere else...
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Well, you see that is such a bad lump to lose, isn't it?
0:32:57 > 0:33:00And there are lots of places you can go to get chipped glass
0:33:00 > 0:33:02polished out and whatnot,
0:33:02 > 0:33:05but that's a great lump out of a scolloped edge
0:33:05 > 0:33:06that's already been nibbled.
0:33:06 > 0:33:11Look at that nibble. So your most bullish and brave estimate on this is how much, Jonathan?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- £40 to £60.- £40 to £60.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Splendid fellow. Well, good luck.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Last chance.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28- Now, Mike and Pru.- Yes.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- How are you feeling?- Bit nervous.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33- A bit nervous.- What have you got to be nervous about?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Nothing, I'm quite confident.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- You just said you were nervous! - No, changed my mind.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- Confidently nervous. - Positive mental attitude.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- Is that was it is?- Yeah. - Is that your secret weapon today?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46The silver handbag's going to make a fortune.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49You reckon? Well, you paid £135 for that bag, right?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51- Yeah.- Prudence, you found it.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53- Yeah.- You're very bullish about that bag, aren't you?- I was.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- The auctioneer's put £40 to £60 on it.- It's a bit worrying, isn't it?
0:33:57 > 0:34:01But you never know what's going to happen until the hammer's down.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04- You must have watched this programme before, darling.- I have.
0:34:04 > 0:34:10It is true though at auction, Philip will collaborate with me here, you just don't know, do you?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12No, you just want two people who want it.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Let's hope they're here today.
0:34:14 > 0:34:2014-90A, a silver mesh purse, London, 1921 with the engraved clasp,
0:34:20 > 0:34:26and I've got a flurry of bids once again. To start me in at 30...35...
0:34:26 > 0:34:31£55, £55, it's bid with me at £55,
0:34:31 > 0:34:3760, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85,
0:34:37 > 0:34:40£85, against you then at £85. Do you wish to bid £90?
0:34:40 > 0:34:45Are we all done at £85? I'll sell, last chance at 85.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47£85.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- That's not bad.- That's 50 short.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51That's minus £50, that.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Look out, here comes the compass.
0:34:53 > 0:34:58Now we've got 14-91A, a mahogany case pocket compass circa 1830,
0:34:58 > 0:35:02and again this time I've got bids to start me at 40...
0:35:02 > 0:35:0555, 60, 65, £70, straight in at £70.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- I don't believe it. - £70 and I'll take five.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Straight in, then, lots of interest, at £70 I'll sell.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Two in the book, it's £70, you're all done.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18I don't believe it, £70, plus £5.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Minus £45.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- Look out.- All to play for.
0:35:23 > 0:35:29Lot 14-92A, a Russian gilt metal and enamel spirit tumbler.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- I have to start at £10.- £10.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Do we have ten, £10?
0:35:34 > 0:35:3912, 15, 18, 20, 22...
0:35:39 > 0:35:4125.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44£28 anywhere else, with me at £25.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48At 25 against you then, at £25, and I'll sell at £25.
0:35:48 > 0:35:54£25, Pru, this has not gone your way today, has it? Minus £15 on that.
0:35:54 > 0:35:59So far Pru, on your choices you've lost £65. Right.
0:35:59 > 0:36:08But Mick the hero has made a £5 profit, so overall you are just minus £60. Minus £60.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10- So what about this telescope lark?- Gotta go for it.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- We'll go for it. - We've got to go for it.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16Lot 14-95A, we have a lacquered brass two drawer telescope
0:36:16 > 0:36:18circa 1880 with a mahogany sleeve.
0:36:18 > 0:36:26I've got to start straight in at £25 is bid. 28 and 30. 32, 35.
0:36:26 > 0:36:2838 and 40.
0:36:28 > 0:36:3042, 45, £48 courtesy commission.
0:36:30 > 0:36:35£48, 50 anyone? £48 dead centre and 48.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Well, two of us were all right.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40£48, and I'm selling at £48.
0:36:40 > 0:36:45£48, good man. And that is a £2 profit, no it isn't, that is a £3
0:36:45 > 0:36:50profit, which is great, so you are £57 down the drain.
0:36:50 > 0:36:56Now that could be a winning score, it's very difficult to make a profit on Bargain Hunt, we know that,
0:36:56 > 0:37:00- so don't tell the Blues a thing, all right?- OK, we won't.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Carlie, Joe, have you been talking to the Reds? No, not at all?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- You don't know how they got on?- No. - Good, we don't want you to.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- Now the first item that comes up is yours, Joe.- Yes.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- That nice jug, it's a beautifully made thing, isn't it?- Absolutely.
0:37:16 > 0:37:17- It's a peach of a jug.- It really is.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21A late 19th century German glass and pewter banded claret jug
0:37:21 > 0:37:25of coopered design. Start me at £50 for this...
0:37:25 > 0:37:27- Start me at £50... 30, then.- Oh.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29£30 waving at the back, at £30.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32£30, I'll take two.
0:37:32 > 0:37:3832 now, 35, 38, and 40, 45. And 50.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- £50, gentleman by the flowers.- Oh, come on, come on.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45£50, £5 anywhere else? At £50 by the flowers, at £50.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48At £50 and I'll sell at 50, last chance, at £50, all done.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50£50 pounds then.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- That is minus £40. - That's so disappointing.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Sorry about that, Joe. - It's all right.- Joe...- I know.
0:37:56 > 0:38:011511, a late 19th century Continental carved walnut box.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02- Tenner.- Oh, god.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Ten is bid, thank you, at ten, £10,
0:38:05 > 0:38:09looking for 12 now, 12 with the lady, 15 he's gone, 20, 22...
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- Come on.- Come on.- 25?
0:38:11 > 0:38:14No, he says. £22, on the left there was someone.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17£22 standing left, on the right there, 25, there we go.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- Yes!- 28, 30. £30 to the lady.
0:38:20 > 0:38:25Do you bid at the front? Yes, he does. 32, 35, 38...
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Yes!
0:38:26 > 0:38:28£38 the gentleman now, at £38.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Go on! Go on, go on. - Any further interest at £38?
0:38:31 > 0:38:34It's gone to 40.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36- Yes!- No, he's shaking his head now. With the lady at £40.
0:38:36 > 0:38:41£40 it is then and selling, last chance. £40...
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- Yes. £40, thank goodness. - I did dislike that one!
0:38:45 > 0:38:47That's £3.50.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- £3.50 is a heck of a profit. - It's good though, it's good.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Lot 15-12 A, a set of boxed silver buttons
0:38:53 > 0:38:55of scroll form.
0:38:56 > 0:39:02- I've got a nice flurry of bids here to start me at 20, 50, £100.- Yes!
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Start me straight in at £100.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07£100 is bid. Do I see ten, £100, with me at £100.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- 110, 120. Do you want 130?- Yes, keep going.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Something's happening.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13Are you sure? £120 then, 120.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- Keep going, keep going. - 30 anywhere else?
0:39:16 > 0:39:20All done, £120, last chance, 120.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Yes!
0:39:22 > 0:39:26£120 pounds, I don't believe that, look. Well done. That is something.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- Absolutely.- That was good, that was good, that was good.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32You are £18.50 up, how good is that?
0:39:32 > 0:39:33- Not bad.- Yes.- It's not bad.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37£18.50. Perfect. Now what are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:39:37 > 0:39:40This is so difficult, because frankly you were...
0:39:40 > 0:39:42When you're up...
0:39:42 > 0:39:44You're up £18.50, yes?
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- Shall we go for it? - I hate it, but...
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- You hate it?- Yeah. - You really do hate it?
0:39:48 > 0:39:50- What's to lose, right? - £40 to lose actually.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53And it could be a winning score, this £18.50.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- We're only doing this once. - I don't think so.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56You don't think we should do it?
0:39:56 > 0:39:58- You're not going to go for it? - No.- Definitely?- Definitely.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02Right. No for the bonus buy, but we're going to sell it anyway.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Let's find out whether David's right or wrong.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09Lot 15-15A, early Victorian glass cornucopia spill vase.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Who'll start me at 40 for this? Start me at £20 then...
0:40:12 > 0:40:14£20, he's bid on the left at £20, do I see two?
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Maiden bid of £20, two anywhere else?
0:40:16 > 0:40:20At £20, at £20, this is it at 20.
0:40:20 > 0:40:2222 now with the lady, 25, 28, 30...
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- No, no, no, no, no. - £30 still with the gentleman.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27- Standing still at £30. Two anywhere else?- No.
0:40:27 > 0:40:33- £30 with the gentleman then, selling at 30, last chance at £30.- Yes.
0:40:33 > 0:40:34- Yes.- You were right!
0:40:34 > 0:40:39- Good call.- £30. Now that was not an easy shout for you, was it?
0:40:39 > 0:40:41- No, it wasn't.- It wasn't. - You really didn't like it.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43- No, I didn't.- And you wanted it.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- Absolutely. - You would have persuaded her.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49That's true, but I went with her, and I trusted her, and it won. It did well.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52So minus £10, but you did very well not to go with that.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- Excellent. - So, minus £10, but it doesn't count.
0:40:55 > 0:41:02Overall, then, you are £18.50 up, you conserved your profits and
0:41:02 > 0:41:03it's been a very good game.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Now don't tell the Reds a thing, right?
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- OK.- Cos £18.50 could be a winning score.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18Well, well, well, well, well, what fun, eh? Everybody had a good time?
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- Yes!- Brilliant time.- Been talking to one another have we, comparing notes? - No.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- Keeping stumm. - We never speak to them.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27I asked you to, and if you've done that then that's really good,
0:41:27 > 0:41:31because this is the moment to reveal the winner and the runner up.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35And the runner up today are the Reds.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- Ooh!- Minus £57 is not a great score, is it?
0:41:39 > 0:41:41It's not bad, I've heard worse.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43You've heard worse. But not good enough, I'm afraid.
0:41:43 > 0:41:48- Apparently not.- You've got a nice £5 profit out of the compass, that was unexpected, magic.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52- Certainly unexpected.- You got a nice little profit out of the telescope,
0:41:52 > 0:41:57thank you very much, Mr Sorell, but overall it turned out at minus 57.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59So bad luck on that, all right.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03They're obviously having hysterics in the background here,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06cos they just can't contain themselves with the joy of it all.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10£55 profit on those buttons, Joe, that is a stonker, isn't it?
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- That's right, absolutely. - And not bad Carlie, £3.50,
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- darling, on the little box. - Indeed, it's all right.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20Which was loathed at various times, so congratulations on that.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Overall then, it finished up at £18.50.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26There is £18, yes...
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Excellent.- And not quite, there you go, there's £18.50.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33- How you feeling about that, you two? - Delighted.- Very good, excellent.
0:42:33 > 0:42:39- Well, I hope you'll report favourably to the FBI about it when you make it back to America.- Absolutely.
0:42:39 > 0:42:45Anyway, both teams have been fantastic, great fun, can't thank you enough for coming on the programme.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48- But join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
