0:00:03 > 0:00:06Do you know, students have a certain reputation.
0:00:06 > 0:00:12All that drinking, all that partying, all that borrowing of old road cones.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14But not this lot.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19Oh, no. They're a bunch of swots, because they're getting ready to go bargain hunting!
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Well, bargain hunters, we're at the Newark Showground today
0:00:50 > 0:00:52for one of the six antique fairs
0:00:52 > 0:00:56that happen here every year, and it's particularly parky.
0:00:56 > 0:01:03Loads of people descend on this place from around the world looking for tasty bargains, and let's hope
0:01:03 > 0:01:06that there's some left for our teams today.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Our students will be given one hour and £300 to find their three items,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16which hopefully will make them a huge profit at auction.
0:01:16 > 0:01:23'After the teams have picked their items, they get taken to auction, where they'll go under the hammer.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27The teams have the assistance of an expert, and whoever makes
0:01:27 > 0:01:32the most profit, or loses the least, wins today's Bargain Hunt.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42So here they are. For the Reds, we've got Susie and Charlotte.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- And battling for the Blues we've got Graham and Lee. Welcome to Bargain Hunt.- Hello, Tim.
0:01:46 > 0:01:52- Hi.- Lovely to see you. Now, you're both in your third year at Sheffield University.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- How did you first meet? - We both study the same course, so we met through that.
0:01:56 > 0:02:03- We got on quite well and decided we'd go travelling together. So we went to Thailand and Vietnam.- As you do!
0:02:03 > 0:02:05We ended up living together after that.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10- You kind of bonded up as a result of that experience. - It was a bonding experience.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Charlotte, would you say you drive a hard bargain in foreign parts?
0:02:14 > 0:02:18I do my best, but most of the time I do come back with quite a lot of rubbish.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Any particular disasters with what you bought?
0:02:21 > 0:02:26We did our best to try and bargain on these glasses which we thought were pretty good, quite beautiful.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- We got them back as a present for our housemates, have a "welcome home" drink.- What happened?
0:02:30 > 0:02:36The minute you put liquid in them the paint fell off. Our housemates had paint all over their face.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37A huge joke though.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Yep.- That doesn't bode too well for today, does it?
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Not really.- Susie, you're training to be a doctor.- I am.- You're BOTH training to be doctors.- Yep.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Any particular branch of medicine?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51It's probably a bit too early to tell, but possibly a GP. I'm not too sure.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55We're only in our third year so we've got quite a lot more experience to come.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Well, we're delighted to have two medical students with us, because it's snowing heavily outside.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04If we get any broken legs or anything, you're up for dealing with our medical problems.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Which is brilliant. What are you going to be looking out for?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Possibly something a little bit quirky. We're not really too sure.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16- We don't know anything about antiques, so it's going to be an experience.- We'll do our best.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Anything that looks quality and in good condition.- Well, good luck.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Thank you.- We hope you have a great time on Bargain Hunt today.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Now for the Blues, both of whom are at Sheffield Hallam University.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Welcome, boys. Now, do you know these girls at all?- No.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- I bet you'd like to!- Oh, yes!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34How did you two meet, Graham?
0:03:34 > 0:03:39We were on our induction to university and we were walking around getting the usual tour.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42And this boy, or man, I'm not sure which, came up and spoke to me.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47And I looked at him a couple of times because there's this broad, broad, broad Yorkshire accent.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53Apparently he's asked me, do I want to go to the pub? But it came out a bit like, "Wanna go t'pub?"
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- What are you studying?- We're both studying primary school teaching.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Second year.- That's great. Graham, have you got any collections?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Not what you'd call antiques, but my favourite football team
0:04:03 > 0:04:07is a small football team back in Northern Ireland called Glentoran.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09And I've got all their old shirts, their old programmes.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14They've had a great plug now, thanks! Lee, you and Graham have a bit of a sideline.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18That's right, we're part-time clowns, believe it or not.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19I do believe it.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23We've been on teaching placements at school.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26We did a few activities with the kids like balloon modelling.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28They went home and told their parents and one of the parents
0:04:28 > 0:04:32at the school asked us to come in to do a party for the children.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Word got around, so we ended up doing two or three.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Will you be able to make anything for us today?- We'll have a go, yeah.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43As if by magic, look what is appearing. Oh, yes.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46OK, so you've got three seconds starting now.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53It's not perfect, but three seconds isn't a lot of time.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Look, they've finished in unison, how good is that?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I think a little round of applause. That is fantastic.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Is that for me? That's very kind, I'm going to pass that over to the Reds.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05That's your lucky mascot for today.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Good luck. Now, the money moment. Here is your £300.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Look at their faces lighting up.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15And very, very good luck.
0:05:15 > 0:05:21So which of the teams will be passing their antiques examinations with flying colours?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24And which will be going for retakes?
0:05:24 > 0:05:30Let's hope the men who will assist them in their search today have been revising.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Brains and beauty...hmm... will be helping the Blues
0:05:33 > 0:05:35in the form of Mark Stacey.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39And tutoring the Reds in the study of antiques is David Harper.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42The hour...starts now.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Right, are you ready?- Yep. Ready. - Are you sure?- Sure.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Let's go, come on.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Um, I wouldn't go for that, no.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55It's nice but I wouldn't... no, I wouldn't go for that.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- What kind of things do you like? - Decorative things. - Something pretty.- Pretty-pretty.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- And shiny.- No, not pretty and shiny.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You sound like magpies.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Oh, it's hideous.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Don't even look at it. No.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Move on!
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Are any of these any good? Because they look...
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- I am being a magpie again but they look really shiny.- No, go on.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- They're fantastic value for money but they just don't sell.- All right.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I like the look of this, guys.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- What do you think?- It's lovely. - It's pretty. Very plain.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Well, it is very plain but people like that nowadays.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42Ah, now, this is a good sign. Pilkington's Royal Lancastrian.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Made in England. Now, that's a very good name.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- What you think of it, Lee? - I actually like it, yeah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I'm not sure what its function is, what it does, but it's nice.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Is there any damage?- Not as far as I can see. I've run my finger
0:06:53 > 0:06:57around the edge and I can't feel any chips or cracks, or around the base.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00What I quite like about it actually is this lovely two-tone effect
0:07:00 > 0:07:02and these lovely stylised heart-shaped flowers
0:07:02 > 0:07:04going round the top.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08The other key thing about this is, you see that funny little mark here?
0:07:08 > 0:07:14That's the monogram of one of most famous designers for Pilkington's, William S Mycock.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17So this is quite a collectible piece, I think.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19So, Mark, what's the number at the bottom?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22That would be a shape number or a pattern number.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I can't see a price to go on this,
0:07:24 > 0:07:27so shall we ask the gentleman how much he's asking for it?
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Excuse me. We're quite interested in this Pilkington's vase,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33can you tell us the price, please?
0:07:33 > 0:07:34- 120.- 120?
0:07:34 > 0:07:39That's not a bad price, guys, because it's nicely made and good quality, as I've told you.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Is that your best, sir? - Very best would probably be a oner.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Oner? That's 100 in our language. - Mark, will it make a profit?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50If I was putting that into sale, I'd certainly put 100-150 on it.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Do you like it?- I do like it.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- Good.- I think we should go for it. - I've got one ally here.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00So, while the Blues have got themselves a possible profit,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03the girls are still on the search for something shiny!
0:08:03 > 0:08:04The problem with these two
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- is that I just don't know whether they've got any age to them.- I see.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11How about those swans behind them? They're really pretty.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- I think the wings open up.- Do they? OK.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I really like those ones.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Oh, they're very lovely. - A pair as well.- Swan salts.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Girls would like those. - I think that would be a really nice
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- romantic gift.- Really?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Yeah. For a husband to give to a wife. How much are they?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- 37 for the pair.- I want to buy them.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Do you not like them? - They're not for me.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35They're not for you, as in, they're not going to sell, or...?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I don't think you'd make any money. Let's go through these quickly.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41A pair of salts. You know what they're for obviously.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44They go on the dinner table, you bung your salt in, and you're posh,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47so you put your spoon in and you sprinkle your salt.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49It's all part of the eating experience.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Things like this really make eating more pleasurable, don't they?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Precisely.- I agree. - I don't want to persuade you.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56No, don't persuade me.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58What's the best on the two salts?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- What's on them? - 37.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- 37 the pair. - 30 quid the pair.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- We haven't actually bought anything yet.- Shall we get them?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Hang on, hang on. Offer him a bit less.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Go on, you do it.- Shall we do 20... - I think we should start at 20.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- They're going to charm you here. - < 25.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19They haven't even said anything and it's working!
0:09:21 > 0:09:27After turning on even more charm, the girls paid £22 for the swans.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32The Blues already had one item in the bag, but it's getting harder to come to a decision.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34What's this here, Mark?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37No, I don't like that. I don't think I like it anyway.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41- Oh, I don't know. - £65 it's got on it.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- The top.- Actually, I think it's quite fun, you know.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Where's, erm, the other one?- Lee.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Lee.- Oh, you've found something.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50It's actually quite nice quality.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I mean, if you look, you've got a duck here.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- I hadn't noticed that. - And it's also stained in colour.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00How old would it be, is it modern?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I'm just trying to work out if it's modern.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I don't think it's machine-done, I think this is hand-carved.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Where would it come from?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12I would have thought the colonies somewhere. What do you think of it?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- I really like it.- I do like it. I can see Tim walking with it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Is that 165 or 65?
0:10:17 > 0:10:18You see, I like that.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I think that's a quality object.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I thought that was a pound sign. 165's an awful lot.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Is it something we could leave until the final thing?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28We could ask him to hold it for us.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31I'd thought it was a WOMAN'S prerogative to change her mind!
0:10:31 > 0:10:38So the Blues didn't make a decision on the walking stick, leaving them still with two items to buy.
0:10:38 > 0:10:44The Reds are back at their favourite stall, which offers a buffet of shiny treats for the girls.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- Mother of pearl. What do you think it is?- Is it a cigar case?
0:10:48 > 0:10:49- No, it's a card case.- Is it?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Yes, for your business cards.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- I like it!- I like it. - Isn't it, yes, very nice.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57That is so cool.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Can I give you one of my cards? - Yes, if it comes out of that.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Will you ring me?- Of course.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06That's a cigarette case, or a cigar case. Actually that's very posh.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- How much is it? - I must say I prefer that.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Is that a good price?- I don't know.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13What's the absolute death on the cigar case?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- What's the price on it?- 145. - It would have to be 110, the death.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19That would represent a small profit.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- < It's a lovely thing. - It's very nice.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Do you think that this would be more popular than a card case?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Well, personally, yes, I do.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- How much do you think it would fetch at auction?- It might make 80-100.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Erm, hello. - Sorry.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- 70 wouldn't buy it? - It wouldn't. I paid more.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I actually paid £90 for that.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41And I had to put a couple of new panels on it. I do want the 110.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- It might touch 100.- I tell you what you'd do better with.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Have a look at that book.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49< Now touch the corner.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Oh, wow. - < It's a drinking flask.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53That's very nice.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- If you look at the title, it's The 19th Hole.- What's the best on that?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- 95.- Do you think that would sell, though?- I do, I do, I do.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01The 19th hole.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Golf, the 19th hole is the bar.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I can't honestly say that I've seen that before,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08that particular model or design. It's very novel.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12And it really would be a collector's piece, wouldn't it?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Yeah, I quite like that. - You couldn't do it for 60?
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Again, I paid more. I'll knock another fiver off and do it for 90.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20< I think that's a very fair price.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- It is...- What do you mean, "It is"?!
0:12:22 > 0:12:2585 would be fairer.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- What do you think?- Erm... - How much would it get at auction?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32I think it might do 100 quid and a bit, mightn't it?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35In the right sale, you could do 120-140.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Let's go for it, I'm up for it. I think it's a good idea, yep.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- All right, we'll have it at that, 90.- Brilliant.- I really like that.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- I'd say we've got something really girlie, and really boy-ie! - And something really manly!
0:12:46 > 0:12:54They might have all the basics covered, but there's still one item to get with the remaining £188.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59They could afford something decent with all that, but they can't afford to dilly-dally.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- 173.- What are you up to, you lot?
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- Hello.- Having a nice time?- Yes, we are.- We're having a lovely time.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09We had a bit of a struggle, Tim. We had quite a lot of time
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- actually not buying anything. - 40 minutes actually.
0:13:12 > 0:13:1440 minutes you've spent so far.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- And then suddenly, wham, two items. - Yes, you're two down. You've got 20 minutes left.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- What do you think about that?- Nice ladle. Is it a candidate?- Possibly.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- We're not sure about the price. - They laugh at everything.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- 20 minutes left, all right?- Yep. - No pressure.- Thank you.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31See you. Well, what do you think?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- I think it may be a bit too expensive for us.- OK.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Guys, I think we need to speed up.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Because we are going to run out of time.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- I'm in a bit of a stress at the moment.- Come on, you two.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- That's 38, too much for them.- Hello, how are you?
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Mark, are these real silver? - Let's have a look.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Oh, yes, they are, you know. They're little bonbon dishes.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02A big hallmark in the middle, by...
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Is that Mappin and Webb? I think they are.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- Yes. > - Mappin and Webb.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08These are hallmarks for Birmingham with the anchor.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Looking at the mark, I don't think they're that old. What do you think?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- You spotted it.- It's pretty. It's got some weight behind it as well.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18They're for, you can imagine, after dinner.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21You'd put little bonbons, something like that in it,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23and just have them on the table.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Or if you wanted them on a coffee table it would be rather nice.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30(You could get that for maybe £40.)
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- We could try.- Do you want to ask her?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Do you like them?- I do like them, yeah.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Go on.- I like the shape.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44The lowest was £45, leaving them £160 for their last item
0:14:44 > 0:14:46but only 10 minutes to get it in.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Over with the Reds, and David's had enough of looking at bling.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58I always love these toys. Don't you like him?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00How can you not like him?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02That?!
0:15:02 > 0:15:07- He's gorgeous. He's cute.- He has got orange eyes.- Oh!- (Sorry!)
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Wasn't expecting it to be quite so vigorous.- Is he electrical?!
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- How much is it?- 12 quid.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16It's not expensive. You cannot fail to love him, can you?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18I'm succeeding.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Are you really? He's so handsome as well.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- What, date wise, he's gotta be... - At least 500 years old!
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I wish he was. This will get you. Ready?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Look, he jumps around.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34That is honestly one of the most hideous things I've ever seen.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37You can't tell me that doesn't blow your mind?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Oh, it is quite cute.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42It's a bloody hopping, red-eyed freakish monkey!
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Maybe we should leave him for a different owner.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47We've seen a nice writing desk.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50If I don't like it, will you have him?
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- But it's expensive, it's got faults on it.- I don't know...
0:15:54 > 0:15:56We've all got faults. Come on.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01You stand your ground, girls, but get a move on. Time is ticking away.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Doulton ashtray, that's fine.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06We'd best rush, I think.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- We've got one minute.- Let's look at one more stall and then we can go back and buy the monkey.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16With only a minute left, the Blues head back to buy the walking stick.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Listen carefully. Here's how not to negotiate.
0:16:20 > 0:16:26We would really like to buy this stick. It's great. And...yeah.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I was wondering if there was any chance you would take 130 for it?
0:16:29 > 0:16:33I'm sorry, absolutely no chance at all, 140 is what I need.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- 140 it is, then.- OK.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- Brilliant, thank you very much. - You're welcome.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43See what I mean? The Blues are done, the pressure is on for the Reds.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48With seconds to spare they've decided on their third buy, and, no, it's not the monkey.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Was the cigar case £80, I can't remember?
0:16:51 > 0:16:56- That's 110.- Can you meet us halfway, £100?- Please, it's our last stall.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Please. - I'll do it for 100.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- That's it, literally to the second. - To the second?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Well done. - Good work.- Thank you very much.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18So, has all that brain power and edu-ma-cation paid off
0:17:18 > 0:17:22with some profitable purchases? Let's find out.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Let's recap on what the Reds bought.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28The blonde magpies fell in love with the £22 swans.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30They do say love is blind, though.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34At £90, will they hit a hole in one at the auction
0:17:34 > 0:17:37with the leather-bound flask?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40The cigar case was a last-minute purchase,
0:17:40 > 0:17:44but is it a good one with £100 paid?
0:17:44 > 0:17:49Girls, it's the end of the day, it's going dark. How was that shopping experience, did you have fun?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- Yes, we had a brilliant time. - We really enjoyed it.
0:17:51 > 0:17:57You bought all those blingy, shiny, expensive things. I wish you the best with that lot.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Which is your favourite piece, darling?- The glass and silver swans.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- The little salt and pepper pot jobs? - Yes.- What about you, darling?
0:18:03 > 0:18:08- I like the mother of pearl cigar case.- Because it's nice and shiny?- Exactly.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Which piece will bring the biggest profit?- Definitely the swans.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14I think the cigar case, because it's quality.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I don't know how you got on so well on your foreign travels.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18We didn't!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20£212 you spent.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I'd like £88 of leftover lolly,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27going to David Harper to find that bonus buy.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30You, I would say, have had a tremendous day.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33My two blonde magpies, have they been good fun or what?
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Bright and blingy? - Bright and blingy all right!
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- And that's what they bought! - I know!
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Does that mean I've got to buy something bright and blingy?
0:18:42 > 0:18:46No! We want you to find something that's going to bring a big profit.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- OK, can I buy something I really like?- If it makes a big profit.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54Off you go, David, and good luck. Let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59The Pilkington vase wasn't a hit with Graham, but Lee and Mark
0:18:59 > 0:19:03are convinced it will make a solid profit and paid £100.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Solid silver and a well-known maker, but will that be enough
0:19:06 > 0:19:11to get the bidders interested in the £45 silver bonbon dishes?
0:19:11 > 0:19:16Like the Reds, the Blues had a last-minute decision to make
0:19:16 > 0:19:20and walked off with the Mexican carved stick for £140.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23So, Graham and Lee, that was a bit of a panic, wasn't it?
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- Down to the last couple of minutes for your final item.- Rushing around.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Which is your favourite piece, Graham?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Definitely the walking stick, it's beautiful.- What about you, Lee?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- I'd have to agree with Graham.- Which piece will bring the biggest profit?
0:19:36 > 0:19:41I think the silver bonbon dishes are sure to pay off some of our student loan.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Well, if you're reckoning on that...
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- What about you? - I'll have to go for the pottery.
0:19:46 > 0:19:52OK, the Pilkington pot. OK, fine. Well, you spent a magnificent £285, I'm really chuffed about that.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55£15 of leftover lolly, please. There you go, Mark.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Now, what are you gonna do with miserable £15?- Not an awful lot.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- No.- I've seen a burger and chips!
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Have you? Well, it won't be easy for you, but good luck.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06For me, I'm heading off somewhere belting!
0:20:14 > 0:20:18English landed estates, such as Belton House here in Lincolnshire,
0:20:18 > 0:20:22would normally be passed down to the eldest son.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26That's why having a male heir was so incredibly important,
0:20:26 > 0:20:31to ensure that the property remained in the immediate family.
0:20:31 > 0:20:38But the Brownlow and Custs of Belton struggled to produce male heirs,
0:20:38 > 0:20:42and Belton was only passed down to the eldest son on two occasions.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47So nephews, brothers, grandsons and cousins were all beneficiaries
0:20:47 > 0:20:50over the 300 years that the family lived here.
0:20:50 > 0:20:56In the early 20th century, Henry Cust, also known as Harry,
0:20:56 > 0:21:00was due to inherit from Adelbert, his cousin, who was the Third Earl.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04However, things didn't work out to plan,
0:21:04 > 0:21:08because Adelbert outlived Harry by four years.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12This painting depicts Harry's wife, Nina, lying in the library
0:21:12 > 0:21:16of their London home, perhaps dreaming of a room at Belton.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Do you think it could be this room, the study? I think it is, don't you?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Almost identical.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27Apple-green painted walls, densely lined with books.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29And, if you look carefully in that watercolour,
0:21:29 > 0:21:34does this end of a piece of furniture remind you of anything?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37You're right.
0:21:37 > 0:21:43This is the self-same cupboard that was in London and has now come back to Belton.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48On the face of it, this looks like a late 18th, early 19th century painted cupboard.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51You can see here where the paint has been rubbed
0:21:51 > 0:21:53and the timber is showing below.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57But beautifully painted, in the Adamesque style,
0:21:57 > 0:22:01with these Angelica Kauffmann-style roundels down below.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03But if I give it a tap,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06you will find out that it is a cabinet, full of secrets.
0:22:06 > 0:22:07That...
0:22:07 > 0:22:10That is not the same as...that.
0:22:10 > 0:22:16Why? Well, for a kick-off, we've got two massive concealed locks.
0:22:16 > 0:22:22Press the secret catch on either side and the key plate is revealed.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25You would insert your key, unlock both doors,
0:22:25 > 0:22:30and reveal...the secret interior.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Not only secret, but incredibly secure,
0:22:34 > 0:22:40because this middle section of the cabinet is made of solid iron.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44It's a safe -- the ultimate security device for the gentleman
0:22:44 > 0:22:48who wants to keep his precious objects close by him
0:22:48 > 0:22:51in a smart reception room without going to poke about
0:22:51 > 0:22:55in one of those ugly safes underneath the back stairs.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Actually, this is an extremely rare survival.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04And as such, it is not only practical, but I think drop-dead gorgeous.
0:23:04 > 0:23:10The big question today is of course, are our teams over at the auction going to be safe or sorry?
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Well, it's great to be at Golding Young's saleroom in Grantham, with Colin Young.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- How nice to see you, Colin. How are you?- Good morning, Tim.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Very well indeed, thanks. - Feeling strong today?
0:23:28 > 0:23:33- Feeling strong!- First up for our girls today, Suzie and Charlotte, we've got these little swan vases.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Now, what do you make of those, Colin?- Always popular.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Asprey's did a version in cut crystal with silver mounts.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40- But...- They're not.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- They're not Asprey's, they're not cut glass...- No.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44They're not silver?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46No, a hat-trick of problems you've got.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50- They're quite fun, aren't they? - They're quite good fun, just nominal sums.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- Estimate we've put, 10-20. - They paid £22.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54So, it's not too far shy.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- No.- And you never know. Here in Grantham, you may have swan lovers.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59- Yeah.- Now, what about this flask?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02I love it, I think it's a brilliant item.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04A quality make as well.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Something that is a nice, easy, hide and deceive, if you like a tipple or two.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- What's it worth, though? - To be honest, I haven't got a clue what it's worth.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14I haven't seen another one.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18I've put a good old guesstimate on it off £40-£60, and just see how we fare with that.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Right, well, they paid £90.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23And I've never seen one before. I'm quite hopeful for this.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Couldn't argue with the price, I've not seen another one.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Exciting. Now, what about this mother-of-pearl cigar box?
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Yeah, good little piece. Nice and clean, all of the panels are still on there.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Nice combination, abalone shell, and mother-of-pearl.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Not everybody's favourite smoking items, but dual purpose,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43you could use it as a pen case or something like that.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- That is a good idea. - These things are there to be adapted.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48That's a good idea, Colin. Brilliant.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- What's your estimate on it?- Well, we've put an estimate of £40-£60.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Cor!- Somebody might not have the imagination.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56They might not! It's a beautifully-made thing.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Is that a bit of a tease, that £40-£60?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01I will be honest, I think that's probably the sort of money.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Because you get card cases which are functionable and usable,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08and they make £40-£60 for the average ones, like this.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10That's where I've put the comparison.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13OK, well, our girls will be disappointed, they paid £100.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17£100 they paid. If you're right, Colin Young, that is their dark
0:25:17 > 0:25:23hole that is going to open up, and they're gonna need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Charlotte and Susie, you spent £212, which is magnificent.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32You gave David £88 to spend. Did he blow the lot?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I'm sorry, girls, I couldn't resist!
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Oh! We knew it!
0:25:37 > 0:25:38I, yep, I guessed that.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Come on, begin to love him. Look! Look what he does!
0:25:41 > 0:25:44It doesn't look any better than it did last time!
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I think he's absolutely delightful.
0:25:46 > 0:25:51- If I didn't buy him, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.- Does he work?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- Of course he works. Look at him, he's beautifully made.- Right.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57What is it about this specimen that attracted you exactly?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- I don't know! But I think I need to have some therapy, don't you?- Yes!
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Quite possibly! - Do you think it will make a profit?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07How much do you think? You know how much, I wanted you to buy him!
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- A tenner.- Not very much! - A tenner, OK.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- I think you're barking up the wrong tree.- I might be, yes.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Barking being the operative word.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Definitely.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- You either love him or hate him. - Yeah.- I love him.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- How do you feel?- I can't say I'm loving him at the moment, but maybe my love will develop.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25I'm the same, I'm not sure whether other people might.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27How much would you pay for him in an auction?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- 20, 30? - Really?- I really would. Honestly I would, yeah.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33I mean, you've got it honestly from the heart of the monkey...
0:26:33 > 0:26:34I mean, from the man.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37He's predicting double your money, all right?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- Hold that thought. - OK. We'll hold that thought.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43For the viewers, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's monkey.
0:26:43 > 0:26:49- What about that little monkey, then? - Very nice. He's got holes in him, he's got rust on his wires.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- He's a little bit poorly around his arm as well.- Yes.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55The positive is, people will love him, so they'll bid for him.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57And David's pleased with it.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58So what's his worth?
0:26:58 > 0:27:02We've put an estimate of £10- £20 on it, that sort of level.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Great, cos he paid a tenner.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06And I think that's fine, don't you?
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Yep.- Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now, for the Blues - Graham and Lee.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12First up is the Pilkington's pot.
0:27:12 > 0:27:19Great little item. Perfect order, William Mycock, very good artist, started at Pilkington's, 1894...
0:27:19 > 0:27:25- Right.- ..but then seriously got into the design and artistry of the potting about 1906.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28And this piece itself dates from 1932.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Does it? It's late in Pilkington terms.- Mmm.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- They paid £100, what's your estimate?- I've put £100-£150.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37I think they stand a good chance of a profit. If they don't, there is no justice.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40That's nice to hear from auctioneer, isn't it?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Next is the so-called Mexican stick.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46I can't really see it exciting stick collectors, to be honest.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51Just personal opinion. We've put an estimate of £20- £40 on it.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- How much?- £20-£40. - Dear, oh dear! They paid £140!
0:27:54 > 0:28:00£140 for the Mexican stick and you put £20-£40! This is terrible!
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Mmm. Let's just hope I'm wrong. Very wrong!
0:28:02 > 0:28:06- Let's hope you are! To a factor of five, would be nice!- Yes!
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Next is the kidney-shaped silver dishes. Which are oddball, aren't they?
0:28:11 > 0:28:16They are a bit odd ball. You don't see dishes like that, and they are fairly heavy gauge as well.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19OK, they're not particularly old, 1963.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23But Mappin & Webb, good maker. Silver selling very well at the moment.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27- So, yeah, they should do OK. - But it's such an odd shape, isn't it?- It is, really.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- I suppose estimate-wise, £20-£40, something like that.- Is that all?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- Yeah, what did they pay?- £45.- Well...
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- £45, I mean, they're nice little dishes.- They are.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38I can understand retailing at £45.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42Yeah. They might get out of trouble, actually, with those.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46Because they are heavy gauge, so perhaps not the normal buyers will be going for them.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49The scrap weight of silver is right up at the moment, isn't it?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Mmm. Absolutely.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54All these precious metals are going completely bonkers, so
0:28:54 > 0:28:58that's going in its favour. Anyway, the problem there is this stick.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03- Mmm.- So, bonus buy, I think they're gonna need it. Let's have a look.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07So, Graham and Lee, you spent £285, you gave £15 to Mark.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10What did he spend it on?
0:29:10 > 0:29:16I did! But I only spent £10 on it. Because I think it's rather fun.
0:29:17 > 0:29:22It's probably from the 1950s. And that could well pour us a profit.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Graham, I have to ask you, what is it you've got on your head?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Is it a hat or is it a tea-cosy?
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- It's actually an antique. - Is it a tea-cosy or is it a hat?
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- Tea-cosy hat!- Very good. What do you have in front of you?
0:29:34 > 0:29:35An elephant teapot.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39Right. Might your tea cosy go rather nicely on the elephant teapot?
0:29:39 > 0:29:40Let's just see whether it goes.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43So, we've got a hole for the handle.
0:29:43 > 0:29:48Oh, look at that! Perfect. A significant improvement, don't you think? No, no!
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- That's nice. You obviously like it, don't you?- Yes, a lot.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53It's a good thing, isn't it?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- For £10.- Not bad for £10, yes.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58You don't decide right now. You decide later. But for the viewers
0:29:58 > 0:30:02at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's pot.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06- One lump or two?- Definitely looks like one lump from here.- .
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- It's been in a few lumps, though, hasn't it?- It has, unfortunately.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14The first thing that you see on it is there's a little bit of damage there.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16He's had his head chopped off at some stage.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18- What a shame. There you go. A novelty teapot.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23Checking out the prices, because I thought it might have been an exciting lot.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28I just had a feeling that it might have something highly collectible about it.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31I found one that was in perfect order that made £40.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34This one isn't, so our estimate is 20-40.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37I tell you, that Mark Stacey, he won't mind.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38He only paid £10 for it.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Oh, excellent.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45Brilliant. So overall, some excitement ahead.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Yes, unless they're going to get a beating with that stick.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50We shall see. Thank you, Colin.
0:30:53 > 0:30:5512 bid. 12.50. 18...
0:30:55 > 0:31:01Now, girls. What do your mates, what do your student friends, think about you coming on Bargain Hunt?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03I think they were positive about it.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05They don't think you're mad or anything?
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Slightly! I think they're quite looking forward to taking the mick out of us.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Are they? We're on the edge of the auction now.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14- It's exciting, isn't it? - Very exciting.
0:31:14 > 0:31:19All these people, look at it. OK, the pressed-glass swan salts.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22£22 paid for those.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25£10-£20 is the estimate.
0:31:25 > 0:31:31So that's all right. Quite frankly, within the confines of an estimate, you're not so far off.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Bang on the money.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Lot 70 is a pair of clear glass-moulded swans,
0:31:36 > 0:31:39mounted with electroplated neck and folding wings.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Who's going to start me with a bargain and start me at £36?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47OK, £10 to go. Who's first in? 10 on the internet.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Any more now at £10 bid? 12.

0:32:07 > 0:32:11£20 bid. 22 now. Go on, please. £20 in the front row, to anywhere else?

0:32:17 > 0:32:19That's not too bad. Now, your flask.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Lot number 71, quite an interesting lot,
0:32:22 > 0:32:26this, of golfing interest, it's an eight-ounce spirit flask,
0:32:26 > 0:32:28pocketbook form and marked for the 19th hole.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Who's going to start me at £50? 50.

0:33:19 > 0:33:25That was £120. That's plus 30. Hang on a minute, hang on.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28I'm getting a hug when I can get one.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Hug while you're ahead.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35Lot 72 is a Victorian mother of pearl and abalone shell cigar case, in very good order.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Who's going to start me at £50?
0:33:37 > 0:33:4430 to go then, surely, 30, 20, 25 bid, 30, 35 bid, 45, 50...

0:33:53 > 0:33:57finished, then, all done and finished at £80.
0:33:57 > 0:33:58Oh, blast it.
0:33:58 > 0:34:03£80. You're minus 20 on that, which means you're plus £8.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05You have eight pounds.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- Awesome.- How exciting.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Oh, dear. I can't bear it.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Anyway, you're £8 up. That's all right, isn't it?
0:34:11 > 0:34:13My heart is just going.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Ridiculous, isn't it, how it goes up, down, up, down.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19You're ahead at £8. What are you going to do about the monkey, then?
0:34:19 > 0:34:20Gamble.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24- Brilliant. - We're going to make you happy.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26It seems as if your monkey has won the day.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30- We shall soon find out. - We're going to go with the bonus buy, we're going with the monkey.
0:34:30 > 0:34:35- Here it comes. - A 1940s-50s clockwork monkey.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38He's wearing a red hat and playing with his cymbals.

0:35:20 > 0:35:27At 22, every pound helps. All done and finished, then, going at £22.
0:35:29 > 0:35:34- Thank you. - There you go, you've got £12 profit on that, which is brilliant.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36You had eight pounds before, so overall, you're plus 20.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38- How about that?- Well, I never!
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Well done, you two.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45That's brilliant, isn't it? £20 up.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48This could be a winning score, it could well be a winning score,
0:35:48 > 0:35:52we know how difficult it is to make a profit on this programme, and you've just done it.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- So, don't tell the Blues a thing, all right?- We won't.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56- Keep really, really quiet. - Top secret.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Don't go out looking so bubbly. Start looking miserable.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00OK, depression.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Seriously, you've done very well, but don't tell the Blues a thing.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05Thank you!
0:36:08 > 0:36:0952, 55...
0:36:13 > 0:36:15So, Graham and Lee. Do you know how the Reds got on?
0:36:15 > 0:36:17- No idea. - Hopefully worse than we will.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21We've been hiding you away. We don't want you to know how those girls have done.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24- So, how are you feeling?- Nervous.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Confidently nervous.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30That's a mixture of emotions, isn't it? What are you nervous about, Lee?
0:36:30 > 0:36:32The stick. Deeply.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36Well, you did find it, it's true. And you did pay £140 for it.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38A bargain at half the price.
0:36:38 > 0:36:43Actually, according to the auctioneer, he thinks it's a bargain at £20-£40.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45There's a big old hole there.
0:36:45 > 0:36:51But don't despair, because your Pilkington pot, which Mark found for you, you paid £100 for that.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56That's identified as being a Mycock pot, which is a particular maker in Pilkington.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59He's got some buyers lined up for Pilkington, so he's
0:36:59 > 0:37:02quite confident about it, and it's a nice piece, all right?
0:37:02 > 0:37:06Item 95 is a Pilkington's Royal Lancastrian vase
0:37:06 > 0:37:09of inverted ballast form, there we go, it also bears the
0:37:09 > 0:37:12monogram of William Mycock, What shall we say for that,

0:38:33 > 0:38:36This isn't so brilliant, this, is it?
0:38:36 > 0:38:37You were £45 up.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Anyway, next lot up are the bonbon dishes.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48- Well, I knew it.- There you go.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Mark, you must be... He's just a genius, isn't he?
0:40:51 > 0:40:57To convert £10 into £55, via the ether of the internet.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- We could have done the same with the walking stick.- That's amazing.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04So you have £45 profit out of that, which is very good.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08You were minus £55 before, so overall you are minus £10.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- It could have been worse. - It could have been a lot worse.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13That is absolutely extraordinary.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Now, this could be a winning score, all right?
0:41:15 > 0:41:17So don't tell the Reds a thing.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Button up. Thanks, boys.
0:41:19 > 0:41:2210, 12, 15. 20.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30Well, how extraordinary. Have you teams been talking to one another?
0:41:30 > 0:41:34- No. Not at all.- I can tell you that one team has been extremely
0:41:34 > 0:41:40unlucky today, and the unlucky team is, of course, the Blues.
0:41:40 > 0:41:45I mean, you made a profit of £45 on the first item.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47You made a profit of £10 on the third item.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51You made a bonus buy profit of £45 off that elephant.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54But still, it couldn't wipe out the losses on that stick.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Minus £110 they were on the stick.
0:41:58 > 0:42:03So overall you are minus £10, which I regard as a very, very unlucky score, all right?
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Bad luck there, boys.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08And stop giggling.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Just keep off the Mexican sticks in future.
0:42:11 > 0:42:17The victors, of course, are the girls, who actually going to go home with money in their pockets.
0:42:17 > 0:42:18Makes a change.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21That leather-bound flask did all right, didn't it? £30 on that.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25And you got a profit on the wind-up monkey which nobody liked.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29- It just goes to show. Anyway, girls. £20 up.- Brilliant.
0:42:29 > 0:42:30- How does that feel?- Fantastic.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Does it feel good? I'm so pleased. But you've been great teams.
