0:00:04 > 0:00:06Excuse me, what's the time?
0:00:06 > 0:00:10Well, according to my friend here, it's time to go bargain Hunting!
0:00:39 > 0:00:40I'm a Norfolk terrier.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Ah, that would be why I'm in Norfolk,
0:00:43 > 0:00:47actually at the Royal Norfolk Show Ground.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51You watch out because in a minute we won't be seeing a turkey anywhere.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54It's going to be bootiful, just full of bootiful bargains.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55All right, boy? There you go.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Ow!
0:00:58 > 0:01:02There's plenty to look forward to on today's programme.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04There's no pleasing some people.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06- No.- No.- No.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11- No.- Look at that there. - No. They're awful.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Cor, there's a bit of friction in the red team.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14You like it.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19That's when men are appeasing a woman, you go, "In your eyes..."
0:01:19 > 0:01:22And there's trouble brewing at auction.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Oh, Charles!
0:01:24 > 0:01:28And for the Reds, things are really hotting up.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33We set our teams the challenge of finding three items which are
0:01:33 > 0:01:38likely to make monster profits when they sell them on later at auction.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42The team that makes the most profits wins. Simple, really.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45So, let's go and meet today's teams.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Today, we have two teams of couples.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56For the Reds we've got Angela and John,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59and for the Blues, Theresa and Peter. Welcome.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Morning.- Morning, lovely.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Now, Angela, do you get out much?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Since I've been semi-retired I've been looking at things on the television.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13We've been to antique fairs and car-boot sales and I've sold a few things at auction myself.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Have you?- Not with much success.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Oh. We shouldn't get too excited then.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22No, it doesn't bode well. And what do you get up to in your spare time?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I actually belong to a book club and we meet once a month
0:02:25 > 0:02:28and we've been going for about three and a half, four years,
0:02:28 > 0:02:34and we all read the same book for that month and then we discuss the book for about ten minutes
0:02:34 > 0:02:37then we drink the wine we bought for the rest of the evening!
0:02:37 > 0:02:38What do you call your club?
0:02:38 > 0:02:44- Rampant Readers.- Rampant Readers. It sounds great fun, doesn't it? John, are you in the club too?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47No. Not at all. No. That's a ladies' night out.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Oh yes.- I go on a gentleman's night out once a month.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53A gentleman's relish, is it?
0:02:53 > 0:02:58Sort of, a few beers and a glass of wine or two and a meal, which is quite nice.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02This isn't wrapped up in some intellectual pursuit like book reading?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05No. No. No. We don't do anything like that.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Just food and drink. - Just a beer up, really!
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- And what do you call your club? - We call them Monthly Minstrels.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15What you folk get up to here in Norfolk is nobody's business, is it?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19You have some experience and should do pretty well today, so good luck.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Thank you.- Thank you. - Now for the Blues.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Theresa, how did you and Peter first meet?
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- We met when I was a bailiff.- Ah.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32I went along to Peter's garage and bought a car.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- You were immediately fond of Peter, were you?- Absolutely not!- Oh.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38No. I found him quite irritating.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Oh.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42That's honest!
0:03:42 > 0:03:48So this irritating car salesman, who's now your husband, and you've been together for...
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- Approximately 16 years. - Brilliant, so it was an irritation that really worked.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I absolutely adore him now.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Yes. But he was irritating at the time?
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Yes, I understand he didn't particularly like me either!
0:04:03 > 0:04:04And then what happened?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I bought a second car.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Well, relationship building I find endlessly fascinating.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- It's extraordinary how things do pan out in life.- It is, yes.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18- And you adore him now?- I do.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21So how did this career start for you?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25I left the Air Force and I wanted to get into sales,
0:04:25 > 0:04:30but because I had no sales experience the only option open to me was the car industry.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32And what did you do in the RAF?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Air traffic control.- But you're not in the motor business now.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40No, I changed about eight or nine years ago now and I'm in financial services.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Is that good fun?- Very good. I have a good team of lads.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46So, that means you'll be good with the money today.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48That's the theory, Tim, we'll see.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Good, well that prompts the money moment because here's your £300.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53£300 apiece, you know the rules.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Your experts await and off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59So, what's going to happen today?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Both teams are experienced for a change.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08Will it be the Reds that pot the best bargains first, or will the Blues just race ahead?
0:05:08 > 0:05:09# One, two, three, four! #
0:05:09 > 0:05:14So our teams only have one hour but they do have £300 at their disposal.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19But it's not as easy as it looks trying to find three items at a fair this size.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Our teams are going to need some experts.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Raising a glass of red and joining our Red team
0:05:25 > 0:05:30in one of their favourite hobbies is expert, Jonathan Pratt.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32And trying to catch up with the Blue team today
0:05:32 > 0:05:37is their expert, Charles Hanson. Come on, faster Charles, come on!
0:05:38 > 0:05:40What are we going to start looking for?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Something small, probably something we might like,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45we'd buy ourselves in auction.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Some silver. - A nice, varied selection.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- Classy.- Classy, you're a classy lady, that's great.- Classy.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56If you like it then the chances are someone else will and then hopefully we're on the right way.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58A chance of selling it, yes.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Rustic, charming, idyllic.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Absolutely.- Norfolkesquey. In Diss.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Hopefully.- Absolutely.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11A nice little box as well.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Yeah, it's presented quite well.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- It is diamond.- Yes.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20And a red stone, which probably are rubies.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24It's a Victorian piece, £110.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Quite a lot of money. - Like a little horseshoe, isn't it?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Yeah. The price I'm afraid is...
0:06:31 > 0:06:33The price is not going to make that much money, is it?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- No.- To us anyway.- No.
0:06:36 > 0:06:400.2 of a carat, that's about £50 a diamond, £60-£70, you know,
0:06:40 > 0:06:43it would have to be nearly half.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- It's pretty.- Mmm.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- It says the quality of... - Go down to 60?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Hard man, we're a hard people to bargain with, aren't we?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Do a deal at 60, I reckon.- Yeah.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I can let you have it for 65.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- £65?- You think so?- Yeah?- Yes.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01A good deal. A good deal then, a pretty little thing, isn't it?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- It's a nice thing. - A pretty little thing.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08Let's hope the horseshoe brings the Reds luck with finding the rest of their items.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Now, have the Blues also got off to a good start?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17They can £20, they can be £15,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20but this nice sort of almost Arts and Crafts, it's quite nice.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- It's got a nice finish. - It has, you're quite right.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24The top can be polished up.
0:07:24 > 0:07:31- Yes.- It's a bit tired but I'm sure the lady can do a deal.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I can't take less than 30, I'm afraid.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Food for thought.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I think so.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Shall we do a little bit more looking and then...- I think so.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Unless we can get it for 25.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- I think we need to do a bit of looking anyway.- Yeah.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- We like it. Very nice. - See how we go.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50You're right, Pete.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53But be careful time doesn't run away with you.
0:07:53 > 0:08:00Now I think you know when you've found something good, and that's exactly what I've done.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06Morning. Isn't it lovely to find a nice furniture stand in the fair?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08What do you think about this?
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Is it giving a fair reflection, do you think?
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Well, it ought to, because frankly this is a big enough mirror plate, isn't it?
0:08:16 > 0:08:21This type of dressing glass is called a cheval mirror.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25What's spectacular about this mirror is the timber that's been selected.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Just look at this exotic and very intricate grain,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32all the way around the supports and the frame.
0:08:32 > 0:08:38Nicely turned frame, look, and here we've got a moulding,
0:08:38 > 0:08:43almost a half round moulding that encloses the plate itself.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Full of this very busy grain.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50It looks like an exotic timber, like rosewood, or calamander wood,
0:08:50 > 0:08:54but just come here and look closely,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57because if you look closely at this,
0:08:57 > 0:09:02here we've got two almost eye-like forms of grain.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06This isn't real grain at all.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10What's extraordinary about this cheval mirror is that it's been
0:09:10 > 0:09:14made out of a relatively cheap pale wood, like beech,
0:09:14 > 0:09:19and then the furniture-maker has just taken a pot of pen and ink
0:09:19 > 0:09:24and he's drawn in pen and ink every single line that you see
0:09:24 > 0:09:29on the figured and grained surround on this cheval mirror.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Not one bit of it is expensive rosewood or calamander wood.
0:09:33 > 0:09:41Every single piece of this has been created by pen and ink paint effect, which is quite extraordinary.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46The other remarkable thing about this cheval mirror is the price, because it's priced
0:09:46 > 0:09:51at £1,350. Cor!
0:09:51 > 0:09:54That's enough to crack the mirror!
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Right, how are the Reds getting on outside?
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- I just spotted it there, but I don't know if that has any resaleable value.- Yeah.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06But it's just with my physio background, as a physio, I couldn't resist seeing it,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08but if it doesn't sell on there's no point.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12It's a London mark, 1896, by a chap called William Comyns.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Obviously it's known...
0:10:13 > 0:10:15He's a well-known silversmith.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17This is very typical for that period.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20You'd expect it to be of that sort of date.
0:10:20 > 0:10:26The sort of thing that will be made, often inspired by the Dutch taste of this period.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Is it resellable?
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- Every nurse used to wear one, didn't they. They don't any more. - They don't any more.- It's got a...
0:10:32 > 0:10:35That's the whole point. Is it nostalgia, or is it not?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37It's a cabinet piece, isn't it?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39You said you'd offer us a very good price.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Did you?- Yeah.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44He did as I was wandering up, he said come and buy something.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46What's very good?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- £55.- £55.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Still, we've got to make a profit, haven't we?- So has he though.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Yes, yes.- Er...
0:10:53 > 0:11:01I don't know, don't let me sway you, it's just with my physio roots, I rather like it.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Do you mind if we reserve it?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Yeah, I'll put it aside. - For half-an-hour. OK?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10The Reds have only been shopping 18 minutes
0:11:10 > 0:11:15and it looks like they've already found their second item.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19That horseshoe brooch really must be a lucky charm for them.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- I don't like that. - Would you take 30 for it?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Yeah, go on. - What could we get that for?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- £30.- So it's a decent deal.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30It's a good price. The thing is, you must like it.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Yes, it has its damage, some wear and tear,
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- and I'm the first to say condition is so important.- Yes.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41But with a nice early photo frame, it's silver, it's £30,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44to me it's quite reasonable, but early days.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- OK.- OK.- OK.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52Our Charles does enjoy a good look around before he parts with any cash
0:11:52 > 0:11:55and obviously he's encouraging his team to do the same.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58But I do hope they keep one eye on the clock.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Nice clock. What sort of age is that? - We'll go on for a little while.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Go on for a little while. We may be back.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09So it's George V, but sadly you can see where over time
0:12:09 > 0:12:11it's had some wear and tear. It's a shame.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- What's that?- There. - Oh, they're dreadful to sell!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Charging set light weight.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- It's a very interesting piece, but it's going to be very strange to sell.- Quite heavy to carry.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27With half their time used up both of our teams need to get a shifty on.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Jonathan, hello?
0:12:28 > 0:12:33Have a look at this. Quite expensive, £125.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36A smoker's companion, not PC at the moment.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Not PC, is it? No.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40But different.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- It's kind of fun, you have this... - It's unusual, quite fun.- Quite sweet.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47It's a smoker's cabinet, late 19th century, early 20th century.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50The condition's not fantastic. The wood is in good condition,
0:12:50 > 0:12:54the hinges are in good condition, the plaque has come off the top.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59- The plaque's in there.- The plaque's in there, as is the remainder of that lot.- Yeah, yeah.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01You could use it quite easily for other things.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- It could sit on a desk and you could use it for something else.- Yeah.
0:13:05 > 0:13:11- How much is it? It could be 90. - It's got authenticity there.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Is this the price? It says £15!
0:13:14 > 0:13:16It's an old valuation!
0:13:16 > 0:13:19We'll go with that one! We'll go with that one.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24There's definitely an art to negotiation and it looks like Angela might have mastered it.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Are you sure you couldn't go down to 75?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- Go on then, 75.- Go down to 75, will that move up there or not?
0:13:32 > 0:13:37I haven't seen one with this metamorphic base before, it could be used quite easily for other things.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42- There's no reason why it has to be a smoker's cabinet. - Why not?- The guy said £75.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I think that's fair enough. If we go for the buckle,
0:13:45 > 0:13:49that's basically you've got one, I'll have chosen one and John will have chosen one.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- That's true.- Let's go for it.- Yeah, OK. I'm happy with that, yeah.
0:13:53 > 0:13:59With two items bought and £160 left, the Reds are doing well
0:13:59 > 0:14:03and it looks like the nurse's buckle will be their third and final item.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05That's what I call teamwork!
0:14:05 > 0:14:09The Blues, however, can't seem to find anything they like.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- No. No. It doesn't appeal.- No.- No.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14No. No. No.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Nice bed.- I don't like it.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Look at that there. Look at these.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- No. No.- No!- They're awful.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- No, they're awful!- Zebra?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- No, I don't fancy that one.- OK.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31Remember Theresa, you're looking for items that will make a profit at auction, not ones to take home.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- What about over here? - What shall we go for?
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- I know. We've got to start whittling them down. Charles.- Yes.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42It sounds to me like the Blues are starting to feel the pressure.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Time for a team talk, what!
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- We've bought nothing yet, have we? - No.- It's getting near the time.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- Let's go back and start buying some objects.- OK. Let's go.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54That's probably a wise move, with just 20 minutes left.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59- What's this?- That's nice, a little collector's cabinet.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Coins.- What price you asking for that?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- Let's have a look at that, be nice and careful.- It's heavy.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09If I take it off you, let's have a look.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13So if you open it up, there we go, and Theresa, look at the drawers.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16There's about 25 drawers there.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- It's about 1900.- So, realistically you reckon...
0:15:19 > 0:15:21If it came into to a sale...
0:15:21 > 0:15:27I'd have said to you in all honesty, on a good day, it would make £150.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32I'm happy to go with it, but, there might be if we're lucky, a small profit.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- If you think it stands a chance... - It's a lot of money to lay out.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Potentially, there's not a lot.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42We'll just check the back. Spin it right round.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I do like it.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48It's a quality object. We like it.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51We do like it, we'd like to make some money.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54We do like to make some money, that's the only thing.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Five minutes, and we might come back, OK?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Thank you very much, air, I appreciate it.- Thank you.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05It might not be there in five minutes! I really wouldn't risk it.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07If you like it, just buy it.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10After all, you've still got all your money left.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12The Blues need to get a move on.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17There's less than 15 minutes left and they've not bought a single thing.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19That's a nice chair there over there.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Is that a French chair?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Yes.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- How much?- 48.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Nice for that, but a bit steep.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31How about 25?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Gordon Bennett! It gets better.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Can't get much better than that.
0:16:38 > 0:16:44It's nice. It's is French, from the style of the top rail and the shell motif,
0:16:44 > 0:16:49and these rich cabriole legs, and the original rush seat.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- It's very elegant.- It is.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55It's 1920s. The problem is, dare I say it,
0:16:55 > 0:16:5820th century furniture in sale rooms,
0:16:58 > 0:17:02is improving, but the market is still very flat, sadly.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- You're quite taken with it? - Let's go for that.- OK.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08I think that's quite reasonable, isn't it? Are you happy with that?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I think it's a chance.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11It's a bargain.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13There must be some money in that!
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- I hope so.- We do!
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Let's hope there is. Now, don't hang about.
0:17:19 > 0:17:27You've got two items to buy, a whopping £275 left, but hardly any time left to search.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Bargain hunting isn't as easy as it looks, but it's just as much fun.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34It says here, you don't have to be an antiques buff,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37but a keen interest and willingness to learn would help.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41If you have an outgoing personality, and want to be considered,
0:17:41 > 0:17:45then drop us an e-mail to...
0:17:50 > 0:17:54So, have the Reds gone back to buy the nurse's buckle Angela spotted earlier on?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- I'd trust you.- You like it.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02That's the way, when men are appeasing a woman they go, "You like it!"
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Well, yes.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10You've got to buy something and both Jonathan and John have given it the thumbs up.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14What are you waiting for? There's no time to sit on the fence.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- It's pretty. - I think so.- I quite like that.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24£50 paid for the buckle. Nice work, Reds.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29- We've got 10 minutes left and we've taking less than 50 minutes. - That's pretty good.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32We can hot foot it back for a cup of tea, and wait for the others.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- That's fine.- And take the Michael!
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I don't know, the Blues still have a lot of work to do.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42They've looked at plenty of items, but will they back for any of them?
0:18:42 > 0:18:4710 minutes to go. I think we ought to go for your coin, oak cabinet.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49It is nice, isn't it?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51But also over here...
0:18:54 > 0:18:57My silver photo frame as well.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01It's so original, it's Birmingham 1915.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05I know your concerns are it's a bit tired, but it's all there.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Will it make money?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I wish I could tell you for sure.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11But what's so nice, look at the back.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13It's the original oak back.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17It's a nice size, it's George V.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Just in that First World War period. I think it's delightful.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- For £30 to me, it's a good buy.- OK.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27I'll see you shortly, OK?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Two down, one to go. Let's hope that coin box is still there.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37Is it still on sale?
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- It's just been sold.- OK.- Sold.
0:19:41 > 0:19:47- Have you bought it? It's gone?- It's sold.- Oh dear.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Five minutes to go. I don't believe it!
0:19:52 > 0:19:55There are only minutes left, after desperate searching,
0:19:55 > 0:19:59it looks like they're going to go with the first box they saw.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Fingers crossed that that one isn't sold.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Would you take 25 for the box?
0:20:05 > 0:20:0828. The lowest.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- What do you think?- It's a nice box.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15It's come from where, remind me?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- It's come from the Duke of Buccleuch's estate.- Right.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- Duke of Buccleuch's estate.- Yes.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24It's a nice tale to it, so we know it's of quality. Feel the weight.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26There's a nice weight.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- It's quite heavy. - It's a very decorative box.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31We've got a mahogany hinged top,
0:20:31 > 0:20:36these nice Arts and Crafts copper mounts.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39It could make £30, it could make 50, it could make 10.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43It's a bit desperate, and it's difficult.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44- It's mahogany, isn't it?- Yes.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48And is the base oak? No, it's plywood, isn't it?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50We're out of time, unfortunately.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55- 25 would be nice.- Oh, all right! - Thank you.
0:20:55 > 0:21:01Nice move, Pete. You never know. That could make the difference between a profit and a loss.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04The hour hand has completed its revolution.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07It's high noon, which means it's time to stop shopping!
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Will the horse shoe brooch race away at the auction at £65?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I sure hope so.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Cigarettes may well be out of fashion,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20but let's hope bidders can find an alternative use
0:21:20 > 0:21:23for the smoking box, £75 paid.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Nostalgia took over and Angela fell for the nurse's buckle
0:21:27 > 0:21:30and with Jonathan's help, bought it for a £50.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35It was like a walk in the park, really, for you guys?
0:21:35 > 0:21:39And you shopped very leisurely, and you finished in good order.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Thanks to the expertise of your expert, no doubt?- Pleasant stroll.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Pleasant stroll. Now, which is your favourite item?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49The brooch, I think, was very nice.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Angela, what was your favourite?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54The nurse's buckle, which I thought was nostalgic.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58And you spent a magnificent £190. You've done very well on that.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I'd like £110, please, for Jonathan.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04That's quite a lot, isn't it?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07I think I have a couple of things in mind.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10You're well qualified on the negotiation stakes. Good luck.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Excellent. Let's remind ourselves of what the Blues bought.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16After a very slow start,
0:22:16 > 0:22:21Pete decided the French chair at 25 would be a good bet.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25On Charles's advice, they went with the silver photo frame.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Will the bidders snap it up at the auction?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29£30 paid.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31It's not the coin box,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34but out of desperation, the Blues went with another box.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39Even under pressure, Pete managed to get the price reduced to £25.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40That was hectic, wasn't it?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Talk about a blinding rush!
0:22:43 > 0:22:47And then you missed that item. What a shambles.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- That was really sad.- It was sad.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- It just shows, you've got to cough up early, isn't that right? - Quite right.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59- Which is your favourite piece, Theresa?- The box, I think.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- What about you, Pete? - I think the chair.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04The chair's your favourite.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- Which piece will bring the biggest profit?- The box.
0:23:06 > 0:23:13- The box?- I think Charles's picture frame. It's going to do it, yeah. We've lots of decisions.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15You spent the most pathetic £80.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- That's amazing.- I would have spent more if I could have done.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24That's what they all say. Anyway, £220 left over, please.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25£220.
0:23:25 > 0:23:31Thank you very much, Tim. I'm going to try and maybe find something with a certain boxy emphasis...
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- Yes.- ..and hopefully at a good price.- Lovely.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Off you go on your jolly way.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42I've got a VIP pass somewhere very special here in Norfolk. Follow me!
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I'm at Felbrigg Hall in north Norfolk,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50where this stately home
0:23:50 > 0:23:53seems to have something of an identity crisis.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56In fact, it's got a split personality.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Originally a Tudor construction built in the 15th century,
0:24:03 > 0:24:08Felbrigg has seen some major architectural makeovers.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12With so many alluring and emerging styles during the 17th century,
0:24:12 > 0:24:14it's no wonder that the resident family
0:24:14 > 0:24:18found themselves wanting a little bit of everything.
0:24:18 > 0:24:24Two very different, individual English architectural styles, and
0:24:24 > 0:24:30most unusual to find them competing for space in the same building.
0:24:30 > 0:24:37On this side, the original Jacobean structure, completed in the 1620s.
0:24:37 > 0:24:43On this side, an immaculate brick, classically-inspired extension,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46put on in the 1680s.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Fascinating.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51I'm going to go and have a poke about in the old bit.
0:24:56 > 0:25:02Here we are, in what is the early 17th century Great Hall.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Here is something completely oddball.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08We've got a massive heavy marble top,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11supported on the most slender legs.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15It dates from the middle part of the 18th century.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19It's made of mahogany and guess where it comes from?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Typical piece of Irish furniture.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26A beautifully embellished shell in the middle of the apron,
0:25:26 > 0:25:30as with pierced scrolling supports on either side,
0:25:30 > 0:25:36and then, as I say, these most delicate of cabriole feet.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37It's a gem.
0:25:37 > 0:25:43Over here, we've got a piece which may not be quite as fine,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46but it's absolutely a mystery piece.
0:25:46 > 0:25:51This cabinet has never been open to the public before.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54The key's stored here...
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Undo this door, like that.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00And, oh!
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Fling the thing open.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04How about that for a bit of veneering?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Isn't that special?
0:26:07 > 0:26:13This thing is sometimes referred to as the walnut-veneered cabinet.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18But actually, it's veneered in some things called oysters, and it's laburnum wood.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23What we've got here is a contrast between what you and I've never been allowed to see before,
0:26:23 > 0:26:29that's oysters in laburnum wood, before they got faded and polished.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32We can compare and contrast
0:26:32 > 0:26:37the timbers on the inside and outside, most deliciously, here.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42This cabinet was made around about 1680, 1700.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46To make an oyster, a shape like that,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48you take a piece of laburnum,
0:26:48 > 0:26:53which is a piece of wood like my forearm,
0:26:53 > 0:26:57and cut it and slice it like a piece of salami.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02The oval grain within the piece of laburnum,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04when cut and sliced, looks like that.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Very, very beautiful, like my forearm,
0:27:07 > 0:27:11and very, very desirable, unlike my forearm!
0:27:11 > 0:27:14The big question today is, over at the auction,
0:27:14 > 0:27:19will our teams have anything as attractive as my forearm?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28We're at TW Gaze's sale room in Diss in Norfolk,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31with our auctioneer of the day.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Elizabeth Talbot.- Hello, Tim.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35For the Red team, Angela and John, their first item
0:27:35 > 0:27:37is this little piece of jewellery.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38How's that going to go?
0:27:38 > 0:27:42I hope it's going to go very well. It's a nice sparkly little piece.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Jewellery sells well at the minute.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46We do have quite a following.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49And the horse shoe does tend to appeal to local equestrians.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- What's it's worth?- We hope somewhere between £120 and £180.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- Well, £65 they paid. - They should do OK on that.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Jonathan Pratt and co would be very pleased.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02What about this smoker's box?
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Not the most exciting piece,
0:28:03 > 0:28:07I can almost see it being bought in order to store something else.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09You have a pretty box on the side,
0:28:09 > 0:28:13into which you put something more tasteful than smoking items.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Either way, nice little piece.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19As a table cabinet, £70 to £90, that sort of level?
0:28:19 > 0:28:24£75 they paid. And then their last item is the nurse's buckle.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Nurse's buckles in their own right aren't unusual,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29but it's nice that this is made by William Comyns,
0:28:29 > 0:28:33- and of course the name for silver collectors will be a boon.- Yes.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34It's very ornate, a pretty piece.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- It would be a lucky nurse to wear that one.- And heavy.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39And heavy, good gauge of silver.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Good order, I'd have said £80 to £100.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44- Well, they paid £50. - That's very fair.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47You never know, on the face of it they seem to be
0:28:47 > 0:28:50sitting with three winning cards. Just in case,
0:28:50 > 0:28:52we'll have a look at their bonus buy anyway.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56John and Angela, you spent £190?
0:28:56 > 0:29:02You left Jonathan with £110 of leftover lolly to find a bonus buy.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05What did you find, Jonathan?
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Well...
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Wow!
0:29:09 > 0:29:11- It's a watch strap.- Tell us...
0:29:13 > 0:29:17Silver, T-bar, very finely-stitched leather,
0:29:17 > 0:29:20with a little buckle on the end and plated interlinks.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Modelled as sort of a horse's bit, I'd say.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27- What's it for, a fob watch?- Yeah.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29You've got a lot of money left then?
0:29:29 > 0:29:34- I've got quite a lot of money left! - This sarcasm!
0:29:36 > 0:29:38How much did you spend on this?
0:29:38 > 0:29:41I spent £35.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Well then, he's a lot of money left. A cautious purchase.
0:29:45 > 0:29:50- So how much will it sell for? - It's very unusual. It's not a lot of money, a novelty.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- People collect this sort of thing. Why not?- What sort of profit?
0:29:53 > 0:29:56I paid 35. I don't think we're going to shoot off...
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Hundreds, here.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00We might canter away with something!
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Canter, and stirrups, very clever.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06Let's think there may be £5 or £10 minimum on it.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Anyway, for the benefit of the viewers at home,
0:30:09 > 0:30:13let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Jonathan's little strop.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16So, Elizabeth, are they going to snaffle this up?
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Oh, very good, Tim. I like this.
0:30:19 > 0:30:25Again, a piece of horse-related equestrian-linked ware.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28And the little watch fob chain there is lovely.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29The leather is in good order.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31I don't think it's had much use.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33The value is £28 to £38.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Jonathan paid £35. I think it's a perfectly reasonable price to pay.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Once again, I've got a funny feeling about this.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44I think it might just tickle along there. You could get to 50, I think.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Somebody will like the look of it.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49I'm more optimistic than pessimistic so I wouldn't disagree.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Now, that's it for the Reds.
0:30:51 > 0:30:56Next for the Blues. The French rush seat ladder-back chair.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00Gosh, that's a boring piece of furniture if ever I saw one! What's that worth?
0:31:00 > 0:31:04It isn't the most exciting or the oldest piece, and there's just one.
0:31:04 > 0:31:09A chair of that type, unless you put it in the bedroom and hang your socks over it
0:31:09 > 0:31:12there's not much else you can do with it.
0:31:12 > 0:31:17So it is a bit of a lone one, so the value is low. It's only £15 to £25.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- I'm pleased to say they only paid £25.- There we go...
0:31:20 > 0:31:25Brilliant. The photo frame looks as if it's been run over on the A36.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27It's a bit bashed, isn't it?
0:31:27 > 0:31:30It's a wooden frame with a very thin layer of silver
0:31:30 > 0:31:33tacked to the front. That's what they are.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- It's like Bacofoil. - There isn't much silver to it.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40- How much, then, do you think? - Well, in that bashed up state...
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- From 1915 it's had a few partnerships and it's down to £40 to £60.- Is it?- Yes.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46£30 was paid, so they're fine.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51The last item is this absolutely ghastly box.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53It is a box, but...
0:31:53 > 0:31:56It's hardly beautifully made, is it?
0:31:56 > 0:32:00- In all seriousness, it is a kind of a DIY...- Shed work.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04What you need is a good tin of brown boot polish, polish up the copper
0:32:04 > 0:32:08and it could look better than close inspection would suggest.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12It's got potential, again. I can let you into the secret
0:32:12 > 0:32:15that they only paid £25 for it, which is not a lot of money.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19It's good solid mahogany and it's fine and it'll do a job.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21- So what's the TW Gaze estimate? - It's £28 to £38.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24£28 to £38. £25 paid. That sounds very reasonable.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29- Ties in.- If they do anything, there are tiny, tiny profits here,
0:32:29 > 0:32:32so I guess we'd better go and have a look at their bonus buy.
0:32:32 > 0:32:38Now, Theresa and Pete, you spent a miserable £80. Can't get over that.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42- £220 went to Charles Hanson. - Go on, ready. I'm excited.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- Here we go!- Woo.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- OK.- Oh, wow.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Well, that is different.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53Here we are in Diss, which had a wonderful saleroom for domestic bygones.
0:32:53 > 0:33:00And this lot in question came out of an old dentist's, from about 1920.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04So it's full of magical potions, formulas and anaesthetics
0:33:04 > 0:33:08for that wonderful age-old toothache problem from 1920.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12- The box is superb, isn't it, Tim? - Yeah, it's a super box, Charles.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14How much did you spend on it?
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- Well... Oh, and also, we have some books as well.- Right...
0:33:18 > 0:33:20All to do with the teeth.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24So really, it's a great archive and really it ought to be in a museum.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Charles is such a good politician.
0:33:26 > 0:33:31He had a perfectly straight question put to him, which he has avoided.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33How much, Charles?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35- It was £220.- Was it?- It was.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38You might say, "Crikey O'Riley..."
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- Crikey O'Riley. - "..what are you doing?"
0:33:41 > 0:33:42Will it make any money?
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Well, I have speculated.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Certainly have.
0:33:46 > 0:33:51So 150, 250 is my line of enquiry but certainly, here in Diss,
0:33:51 > 0:33:54I would hope it will make certainly £200 or £300.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57What's your initial reaction, Theresa?
0:33:57 > 0:34:00It's a fascinating piece.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02I've got to say, it really is fascinating.
0:34:02 > 0:34:07Certainly totally unexpected.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- What about you, Pete? - It's interesting.- Yes.
0:34:10 > 0:34:15On that happy note, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Charles' dentistry kit.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Well, Elizabeth.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Does this take you back to visits to the torture chamber?
0:34:22 > 0:34:25My eyes are watering at the very thought. It's an amazing collection.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29All crammed into this little box. It's quite extraordinary.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33You've almost got all the kit in something you can pick up and take about with you.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- Absolutely. It's a portable... - ..dental surgery.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39It's got a carrying handle and you're all set to go.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- And you've even got the books, look. - Learn as you go along!
0:34:43 > 0:34:47Just hang on a minute while I check out about this molar.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50The value we put on it is around about £150 to £250,
0:34:50 > 0:34:54in the hope that we will attract the right clientele.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Charles Hanson paid £220.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00- Right.- He is, as they say, putting his money where his mouth is.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Oh, very good...
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- So we'll stand by, then? - Absolutely, sir.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06- Well done.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15So how are you viewing things? Are you quite confident?
0:35:15 > 0:35:19I'm looking forward but I don't know whether I'm very confident at the moment.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21We'll see as the lots go through.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- Yeah, what about you, John?- Similar.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Hopefully we'll make a bit of a profit.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30The first lot coming up is the brooch, and here it comes.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33The bar brooch set with ruby and diamond horseshoe
0:35:33 > 0:35:36in the original fitted case. Pretty little brooch, this one.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Where will I say for this one? May I say £50 to start?
0:35:39 > 0:35:42A lovely piece of jewellery there at £50. Anybody at 50? Bid I have.
0:35:42 > 0:35:4855. 60. Five. 70. Five. 80.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51£80 on my right. Surely worth more.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53At £80, are you all done?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55£80. It's OK, it's £15.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- Not as much as...- Profit, OK.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00You've still £15 profit. Thank you very much.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Now, the smoker's box. What's going to happen here?
0:36:03 > 0:36:06We have the Edwardian mahogany smoker's cabinet, there.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Lovely piece of cabinet-making there. I say £50 on the cabinet.
0:36:10 > 0:36:1350 straight in. 50 I have. I'll take five.
0:36:13 > 0:36:1755. And 60. Five. 70. Five.
0:36:17 > 0:36:1980. Five. 90.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Five. 100. 110. 120.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25At 120, now, are you all done?
0:36:25 > 0:36:28At £120...
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Get in there!
0:36:30 > 0:36:31That's a bit more like it, £120.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33That's £45.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Plus £45 on that.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38That's a bit more like it. Now, your buckle, Ange.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40The nurse's buckle, London, 1896.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42It's by William Comyns. A good name. Look at that one.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Beautifully worked. 30 I'll take.
0:36:44 > 0:36:4730 bid. 30 I have, only, at 32.
0:36:47 > 0:36:5035. 38.
0:36:50 > 0:36:5340. Two. 45. 48.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57And 50. 55, a new bidder. 55 has moved to the front.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00At 55 it's not dear.
0:37:00 > 0:37:0360, new bidder. 65. 70. Five.
0:37:03 > 0:37:0680. 80 now standing in front at 80.
0:37:06 > 0:37:1080. Any advance on £80?
0:37:10 > 0:37:13£80, well done. You're plus £30 on that.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17- You didn't want to be the one that didn't make a profit.- No, no!
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Poor Ange. 45, 55, 60...
0:37:20 > 0:37:22You are plus £90.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24£90 in the bank.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- That's good.- £90 profit, you two.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30At least we know we can't lose £90, can we?
0:37:32 > 0:37:35So, the fob cost Jonathan £35, yes?
0:37:35 > 0:37:38So what are you going to do, because you've been a great team.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40You've been very strongly bonded here.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43We decided that we've got to go with it.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46£35. You're going to risk 35.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50The theory being we can't lose a lot but we might make a fiver.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53We're going with the bonus buy, and here it comes.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56We have the silver and chrome-plated leather fob there.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Start me at £30. 30. 20 I'll take.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02£10, then, to start. £10 bid.
0:38:02 > 0:38:0410 I have. I'll take 12. At 10.
0:38:04 > 0:38:0712. 15. 18.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09It's above now, with the gentleman at £18.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Are you all done?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Never mind. £18.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Very sorry about that.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19All the prediction was that it was going to do well.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21And they just didn't want it.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22But it was £18.
0:38:22 > 0:38:30Two shy of 20, which means you're minus £17 on that, which means, overall, that you are...
0:38:30 > 0:38:35- Plus... 90, 80... £73!- Oh, wow!
0:38:35 > 0:38:36£73 in the bank.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- Lovely.- Which is a very good result, I have to tell you, irrespective.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45- The big thing here is not to mention a word to the Blues, all right?- Definitely not.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Can you go out looking depressed?
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Can you do that? No, you can't.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- OK, fine. Well just don't... - Try your best.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Now, Theresa, Peter, been talking to the Reds?
0:39:04 > 0:39:06- No.- No.- Not a word?
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Good. We don't want you to know how they got on.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12First up, Peter, is going to be your chair. Here it comes.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15The French rush-seated chair, carved-top detail,
0:39:15 > 0:39:1810 I'll take. Sitting on your hands. Come on, £10,
0:39:18 > 0:39:22surely, on the chair. It's for nothing. Five I'll take. Five bid.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- Five. Six.- Seven.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28Eight. Ten. Ten is on my left.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31It's getting exciting for a moment at £10. 12. 12 is bid.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35- 12 is now in the gallery. At £12. - Keep going.- Where's 15?- One more.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- £12. You're missing out below. - One more.- £12 and selling.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- £12. Not a lot of money, that. - That was painful.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46I should stick to financial services work, you. Yes, minus £13.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48OK, photo frame next. OK, Carlos.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- Nice object.- Stand firm. - Yeah, nice object.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54We have the silver photograph frame there, with embossed rims.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- £30 for this one. £30.- Surely.
0:39:57 > 0:40:0020 I'll take to start.
0:40:00 > 0:40:01Ten is the bid. At ten.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06Where's 12? 12 is bid. 15. 18. 20.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Two. Is it goodbye here at £22 only?
0:40:10 > 0:40:1125, new bidder.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Any advance on 25?
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Oh dear. £25. That's not good, Charles.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Minus £5 on that.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Now, your box, Theresa.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Useful box, look. An interest on the sheets here, starts at just £18.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29£18 I have. At 18, and 22.
0:40:29 > 0:40:3125. 28. £30 and I'm out.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34£30 I do have at £30, now.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Where's two? It's £30, back of the room, at 30.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- Selling at £30.- Bit more. Bit more.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42£30. You're in profit, girl.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Well done. Plus £5 on that, which means overall you're minus 13.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48So, the big choice.
0:40:48 > 0:40:53OK? You are £13 down the spout. What are you going to do?
0:40:53 > 0:40:58Will you with the big choice here of taking the £220 dental cabinet?
0:40:58 > 0:41:00- We'll go for it.- We'll go for it.
0:41:00 > 0:41:01- Just like that?- Yes.- Are you?
0:41:01 > 0:41:03- Yes.- You're going to go with it?
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- Good luck.- And I don't blame you.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Early 20th century mahogany dentist box. And I start at £60.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13£60, I have at 60.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17At £60, the budding dentists of you out there. 65 and 70. Five.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21And 80. Five. And 90. Five. 100.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23- 100 with me at 100. Don't miss it.- I don't believe it.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25120. 130.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- 140.- Come on.- 140. With me at 140. - Let's keep going.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30140. Where's 50?
0:41:30 > 0:41:32It's £140 and you're all out.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- Let's keep going.- 140 and selling.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Oh, Charles!
0:41:38 > 0:41:42140. Which is minus £80.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44I don't believe it.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Minus £80!
0:41:46 > 0:41:51- You had minus 13 before, so overall, you're minus £93.- Sorry!
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- That's all right. - Which is not so bad.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Could be a winning score, really...
0:42:07 > 0:42:11Well, we've all heard of the expression "poles apart."
0:42:11 > 0:42:18And here we have an ample illustration, in today's result, of poles apart.
0:42:18 > 0:42:23The runners up today, by a whopping margin, are Blues,
0:42:23 > 0:42:29who are at the bottom of the pole, the South Pole, with minus £93.
0:42:30 > 0:42:36Going with the dentist's business proved to be a bit of an error, didn't it?
0:42:37 > 0:42:41- It was a wrong 'un.- Nothing ventured, nothing gained, Charles?
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- Life's too short.- Absolutely. It was lovely to see you anyway.
0:42:44 > 0:42:52But the victors, who are going to take home cash, £73 of cash,
0:42:52 > 0:42:56are at the top of the North Pole, which is wonderful. There you go, darling.
0:42:56 > 0:43:01- Thank you very much.- You made a profit on all three of the items that you bought. There's your £73.
0:43:01 > 0:43:09And I do congratulate you, because to make a profit is nothing short of a miracle, as we all know.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13Anyway, congratulations. I hope you've had a nice day.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
