0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today, we're at the biggest fair in the south of England.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08Plenty of scope, then, to go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Ardingly International
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Antiques and Collectors Fair
0:00:39 > 0:00:42is home to nearly 2,000 stalls, 90 shopping arcades,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46six huge marquees
0:00:46 > 0:00:49and literally hundreds of outside stands.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54With these sort of numbers, our teams today have sure got their work cut out.
0:00:54 > 0:01:00With each team trying to spend £300 on the best three items they can find,
0:01:00 > 0:01:02and only an hour in which to do it,
0:01:02 > 0:01:05it's going to be a right old race against the clock.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Those three items are then shipped off to the auction house to go under the hammer.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15The team that makes the most profit, wins. Easy, isn't it?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Let's get out from behind these bars and meet the teams.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26On the Red team, we've got Val and John. Welcome.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29And for the Blues, we've got Nick and Sally. Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Now, Val, what do you do, darling?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35I work my partner's shop in the Lanes in Brighton, in the South Lanes.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- Mm-hmm, and do you ever get any famous people coming in?- We do, yes.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42We've had Noel Gallagher, Shirley Bassey, Jarvis Cocker from Pulp..
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- Gosh.- Nick Berry, various other people who are...- Visiting the town?
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Yes.- Oh, good. That's lovely, isn't it? And what do you collect, Val?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Well, we collect motorbikes, really, and scooters.- Really?- Yes.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57And how many motorbikes and scooters have you got?
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Well, we've got two scooters and three Harley Davidsons. - Oh, quite serious stuff, then.- Yes.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Gosh. And how come you know John, then?
0:02:04 > 0:02:10I met John in the supermarket where he works, on his cash-out.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Oh, he's on the cash?- He is, yeah.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And you went in there one day, with your basket...
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- I did.- Was it just caramba, then?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Um, well, he was guessing what I was having for dinner.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24It was spaghetti bolognese, and he also likened me to somebody who he's very fond of.
0:02:24 > 0:02:30Yes, I'm a bit of a fan of a little singer-songwriter lady called Lynsey de Paul, and she reminded me of her.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I got chatting to her, as I do.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Is that a standard chat-up line in the supermarket, then?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Do you want to know what they're putting in their oven?
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Oh, yes. Sometimes it's a very interesting mixture.- I'll bet it is!
0:02:42 > 0:02:45So you're the happy, smiling chap, then, at the supermarket?
0:02:45 > 0:02:50- Yes. Yes, I'm very fast and friendly on your checkout.- Is that why they've got the longest queue...?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Yeah, I tend to get the queue that want to come and meet me.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56No matter how long the other queues are, they'll come to mine.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Queue up for hours just to come through your cash-out?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- What do you collect, then, John? - Showbiz memorabilia.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07I've got some of Liberace's ornaments, the mirrored headboard out of the film The Bitch,
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- that Joan Collins laid up against, Bet Lynch earrings.- Oh, really?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Cos all that stuff just shoots up in value all the time, doesn't it?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Yes, it seems so.- Have you ever tried selling any of it?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21I did have one of Bette Davis's frocks from Death on the Nile...
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- Yeah.- ..and I bought it for 200 and sold it for 600.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Right. So that was a good turn.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- It was a good investment. - Good luck today on Bargain Hunt.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- Now for the Blues, the fiances Nick and Sally.- Hello, Tim.- Hi. So, Nick, what do you do?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I'm a specialist support worker for the NHS.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42I support people with learning disabilities and/or mental health problems.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- And what do you collect? - Quite a few things, actually.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47First of all, lighters, vintage lighters.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52Also vintage cigarette cases and, more recently, vintage wrist watches.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55And, even more recently, vintage robots.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- You're not at all obsessive, are you?- No, not at all! - What's it with robots, then?
0:04:00 > 0:04:05Robots has come from Sal and I's obsession with all things Japanese,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08and that culminated in us visiting Japan last year.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13There was a plethora of vintage robots over there, so I've hooked onto that.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15And you're planning your honeymoon in Japan?
0:04:15 > 0:04:21- That's right, yes, in August. We're getting married in the summer. - And how did you meet, then, Sal?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I got him on an online auction site.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- What do you mean "you GOT him on an online auction site"?- It's amazing what you can find online!
0:04:28 > 0:04:32That sounds really dodgy. I mean, how do you get your man online? Tell me about it.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- We met on an online dating site. - Oh, I see. Yeah.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39And what happens, then? You get to chat...
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Yeah, we started out just by emailing
0:04:41 > 0:04:46and then speaking on the phone, but I wasn't particularly interested
0:04:46 > 0:04:51because he used to have really long dreadlocks. I saw his photo with long dreadlocks and...
0:04:51 > 0:04:55You thought, "Not for me." Not for me. But when we met, it was...
0:04:55 > 0:05:00Caramba. Another caramba! We're full of carambas on this programme!
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- So he immediately got rid of the dreadlocks, yes?- After a few months.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- After a few months, yeah. - He's kept them.- What do you mean? - I've still got them in a bag.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- A plastic bag at home? - I can't bear to part with them.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- So how long were these dreadlocks? - They were sort of down to my bum.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Were they really? You've got enough to stuff a cushion!
0:05:17 > 0:05:22- There's an idea.- What sort of things do you collect, Sal?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Well, for some reason, I'm attracted to toast racks.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I've bought a few toast racks recently.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- I've known people who've collected toast racks- they are fun things. - So I'm not the only one?
0:05:31 > 0:05:37No, no, you're not the only one. You don't need to worry about being thick-sliced or anything like that.
0:05:37 > 0:05:43Still quite safe. Who knows, you might go for one today on Bargain Hunt. Anyway, now the money moment.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48£300 apiece. This is what you've been waiting for. There's your £300.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58Well, let's hope they come back with more than a toast rack, and let's meet today's experts.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Pretty as a picture for the Reds, it's Anita Manning.
0:06:05 > 0:06:11And making right old racket for the Blues, it's Catherine Southon.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Come on, then, guys, let's give it a go.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I do quite like my watches.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Ohh, I say!- What about you?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Well, boxes. I'm quite liking boxes.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23A couple of boxes over there...
0:06:23 > 0:06:27With only 60 minutes on the clock, there's no time to lose,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30but are the Reds barking up the wrong tree?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32They come as a pair, do they?
0:06:32 > 0:06:38- Take one if you want to, and if you want to, take one.- He's trying to bamboozle you already!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41So what do you think? Do you like...?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Dogs are always popular, aren't they?- You're a cat man, aren't you?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- I'm more catty than doggy, I must admit...- Ah, right.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Let's have a look at them, Val. They're not silver.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53They're not silver, are they? No, they're not silver.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57They're a white metal, but this one here I like in particular.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59It's very well moulded.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03It's well made and there's a wee bit of quality there.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Now, I can't find any marks at all,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09any maker's name, so there's nothing there.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11We've got two different types...
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Can you tell me? I'm not really...
0:07:13 > 0:07:18- I don't know very much about the breeds. Do you know what kind of dogs they are?- A bloodhound?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- I think that looks like some sort of hunting dog.- This one's a boxer dog.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- It looks like a boxer.- It's a boxer. - A boxer?- Yeah.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26What sort of price are these?
0:07:26 > 0:07:2835 quid the two.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29£35?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Well, that's the pair. - £35 for the two.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I think they're brother and sister.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Yeah, I doubt that. I don't think so.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Well, they've been together a long time.- They have.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41They're kissing cousins, yes.
0:07:41 > 0:07:47- I think we need to try and go a wee bit...- A bit lower?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Uh-huh. We want to make profit.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- We do.- This is Bargain Hunt.- Exactly.
0:07:52 > 0:07:5418.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Um, you couldn't give me 25?
0:07:58 > 0:08:0020.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- £20. Will it be cash?- It'll be cash.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Go on, then, you've got a deal.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Only ten minutes gone, and the Reds are already wagging their tails with their first item.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13A travelling ink bottle. Thank you very much for your time.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16ANITA: Are you going out busking?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18What do we have here?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Opera glasses.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24What price? Ohh! We'll keep it in mind.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- Look, I'm liking these... - That's quite sweet. You like dinky things, don't you?- Yeah.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I think it's a bit expensive, but...
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Oh, yeah, I'm liking that immediately. I am liking that.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39You're liking it, I'm liking it. I'm liking it cos you're liking it.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Have a feel.- I really like that.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Love the colour.- And it's got its little stopper intact as well.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46If it is original.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50That's got a marking of some... R...
0:08:50 > 0:08:53RB, I think that is. RB. I believe that would be a maker's name.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56How old would that be? It looks Victorian, yeah?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Yeah, it could be sort of about 1910, that sort of date.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01That's your era.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03So I think maybe sort of post-Victorian.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I don't think it is Victorian.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08£78 is quite... I'd like to get...
0:09:08 > 0:09:13- I know it sounds quite cheeky, but I'd like to get that for sort of £40.- 40? Yeah.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17It's not hallmarked as such, so I don't think we can actually...
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Under the Hallmark Act, I don't think we can say it is silver.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22We'd probably have to say white metal.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- It's just quite pretty, isn't it? - It is.- Shall we have a little word?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- I think so.- Why don't you have a word and see...?
0:09:28 > 0:09:35- We really need to get that at rock bottom, because I would see that at auction at £40 to £60.- 40.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48Nick managed to get the scent bottle down to £65, but is that low enough?
0:09:48 > 0:09:52With 20 minutes gone and literally hundreds of thousands of items to look at,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55both teams are going to have to get their skates on.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57You never see one and then two come along.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Now, what is that?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- It's a wee pencil case.- Oh, I say.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- I like that.- It's good!
0:10:04 > 0:10:07You've got quite interesting things.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- How much?- 85.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- I mean, that is quite an unusual item.- It is unusual.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16It is unusual, yeah. Is this ebony?
0:10:16 > 0:10:17That's like an ebony, uh-huh.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20And this is a fruitwood here.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- It's like an umbrella. - That's it. It's a novelty item.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28We've got a little ruler there...
0:10:28 > 0:10:30a pen and a pencil.
0:10:30 > 0:10:36So it's a novelty item, and I think the market is good for novelty items.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Are we able to negotiate with you, sir?
0:10:39 > 0:10:40It has to be 70 quid.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42You're frightened by paying £60.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I'm tight.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Would you take 65?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51No, I need 70.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- I don't think we're going to make much over the 70.- You're not going to make much on it.- No.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- But I don't think we'll lose much either.- Right, OK.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I think we'll go for it, then.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Yeah. We'll go for it.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03- We'll go for it.- We'll go for it.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05We'll go for it. We've thought about it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- We've thought about it.- We've examined it.- We've examined it.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11And the answer's yes.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13OK. Wish us luck.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16I will wish you luck. All the luck in the world.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21The Reds are making some quick decisions today, but £70 for
0:11:21 > 0:11:25that pencil case seems a bit on the blunt end of a profit to me. Huh!
0:11:25 > 0:11:27We're nearly halfway through.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Let's see what's catching the eye of the Blue team.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- Do you know what these are? - For making pills.- Pill-making machines. Good, aren't they?
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- They are.- So you put your... - Ingredients.- ..the mixture, the ingredients in here, and then...
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- Is that the roller for that?- Yeah. And then pull that down.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- I'm loving that. - You're loving that?- Yes.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- The pill-maker.- I really like that.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51It's Victorian, it's got a purpose.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Not many people... Well, I don't know, you might make your own pills, but...
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- I think 98 is a bit punchy.- Yeah.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Why did you like this?- I don't know.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03It's sort of...cos it works.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Or would work. It would still work, wouldn't it?- Yeah, absolutely.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I think it's really nicely made.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12It is quite nice quality. Sometimes these would've had a little...
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- A plaque on it with the maker's name.- Yes.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19I could probably see this at auction at sort of £80 to £120.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- Really?- Yeah. But I would like to buy it at about 60.- How much?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27About 60. Well, I'd like to buy it as cheap as possible, but...
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Mmm.- Shall we give that a go?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33We could do. You're the one that spotted it and liked it.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38Why don't you try and get it down, and then when I've spotted something, I'll haggle down, all right?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- I'm liking that.- Go and do your stuff.- OK! Hello, mate.- Hiya.- Hi.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I'm really liking this.
0:12:44 > 0:12:4698... 78.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Can you not go down a bit more?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Cos we were hoping for a maker's mark and there isn't one.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53No. I can't. There's nothing in it.
0:12:53 > 0:12:5578 I'd do. That's 20 quid off.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- 70.- We've got it in cash. - 70. Then it's yours.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Do you think that's reasonable?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I think it might be worth a go.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- I think £70, it might be worth a go. Agreed?- Yeah.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10At the museum, they actually will show you how to make it with Plasticine.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12With sugar and Plasticine, they make them.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15In the Black Country Museum, you can see it being done.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- OK.- They've got a pharmacy that works there.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Shall we go for this, then? - OK, deal.- You're welcome. Pleasure.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Deal. Thank you.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25These dealers are a mine of information.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27It's always worth having a chat as you negotiate.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32The Bargain Hunt team get a lot of letters from viewers
0:13:32 > 0:13:36who are confused about the Bonus Buy lark,
0:13:36 > 0:13:41so I'll explain it to you very, very carefully.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Once our teams have bought their three items,
0:13:44 > 0:13:49any change left over from their £300 gets given to the experts.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52The experts then have to use that money to buy a fourth item,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55which isn't revealed to the team until the auction.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Once the teams have sold their three items, then they have to decide
0:13:59 > 0:14:02whether or not to include the sale of the fourth item in their total.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05All clear now? Well, I'm glad we've sorted that out.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Both our teams have bought two of their three items
0:14:08 > 0:14:12and, with 15 minutes remaining, the pressure's on to find one more shiny object.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15But with so much choice, where does one begin?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- It's got a nice look, but a wee bit damaged.- Yeah.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20But thank you anyway, my darling.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23You can get back and have a wee sleep.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28- I know. I'm quite taken with this. - Why do you like this?- I don't know.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Oh, yes, there are some very pretty things.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Oh, now...
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Oh, yes, that's a lovely one.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41That's rather nice.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42That's beautiful.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44That's beautiful.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- You like that?- I do.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Yeah. I like the shape.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50It looks like a raindrop.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- Yes.- Do you like a nice bit of glass, John?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54I do like a bit of glass!
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- I do.- Where do you think it comes from? What do you think?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Who made beautiful glass?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06The Italians.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Mm-hmm. - Is it Italian?- Venetians.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Uh-huh, yes. There is no maker's mark on the bottom.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Could almost be Scandinavian.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Could be.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19It's functional as well.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- Functional as well.- A single flower.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26You're very artistic. Is she artistic?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28She's a very creative woman.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34- She creates quite a lot. - But I see that you've picked up another piece of glass here, Val.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- I have.- Yeah. - I like this. I love the colour.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40It does stand out more as well, I think. More unusual.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- It's making a big statement.- Yeah.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46This is a quieter piece.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Yes, it is.- But I like in particular
0:15:49 > 0:15:52this wonderful millefiori pattern round here.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55What would you use it for, Val?
0:15:55 > 0:16:01I'd probably put some form of scented candle in it, I think, as a centrepiece in the table.
0:16:01 > 0:16:07Now, we've got two lovely items here, so we've got to choose one of them, John.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- I've already decided I like that better.- And Val?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- I'll go with that as well.- Yeah.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18I think you may have made a wise choice there, so well done.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Price - how much is it?
0:16:21 > 0:16:22It's £28.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- £28?- Yes.- Right.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28So do you think we could perhaps
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- ask the stall-holder if we can get it cheaper than that?- We'll try.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Call him over.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Excuse me, sir.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- Hello.- Hello.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41We've chosen this item.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Mm-hmm, a good choice.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46It's beautiful. It's £28.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Um...would you take £18 for it?
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Um, I think 20 would be a better price, to be honest.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58£20 is a nice round figure as well.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- A nice round figure.- And it's a nice-looking note as well.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Well...I think we'll go with that.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- Great. Thank you very much. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Do you want me to wrap it for you? - Yes, that'd be lovely.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Well done, Reds. Three items and five minutes to spare.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18But the Blues are still struggling to find their final item.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Time goes so quickly!
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Where are we heading, then? Indoors?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- Oh, isn't that gorgeous?- Yeah.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29And it actually has the stamp, WMF. Shall we think?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32We'll think about it. I really do like it.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34I've spotted a toast rack.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Keep me away from the toast rack!
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Isn't that gorgeous?- Mmm.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Oh, that is to die for.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Yeah. May I look at this little box? It's beautiful.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Ooh, it's a little purse!
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Can you date it at all? Because I don't recognise the, um...
0:17:53 > 0:17:59With the tortoiseshell, I'm thinking sort of 1860s. That sort of date.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Very sweet, isn't it? Now, you said you wanted something tactile.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- Yeah, I love it. - It is really, really pretty.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07I would see that at auction
0:18:07 > 0:18:12- probably making around £80, £90, £100.- Right.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- What's on it?- It's well over 100.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17160.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- But if you love it...- Well... - Is that gilt or just brass?
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- Brass.- Oh, decisions.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- Shall we see if we can...? - I don't think she's going to go down very much on it.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Sal does her first deal and comes away looking pleased as Punch.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35How did you do, Sally?
0:18:35 > 0:18:36- I did really well.- Yeah?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I got her down to 100.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Oh, well done! That's fantastic.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42- She was...- From 160?- Yeah.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46I said to her, "We've only got two minutes left," and I looked at her...
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- That's fantastic. She should've...- Done them all.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- That's amazing.- I know.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- That's great.- Oh, I really hope...
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Because you love it, it's your piece, I hope we make a good profit on it.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Let's hope so.- Well done, Sally.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07BELL RINGS
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Time's up. Ooh!
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Val and John went barking mad for these woofers at £20.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22Will the umbrella pencil case make them a profit for a rainy day?
0:19:22 > 0:19:26And will the candle-holder light up the auction house
0:19:26 > 0:19:28like it lit up Val's face?
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- So, Val and John, did you enjoy your shopping?- Yeah, it was great.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Yeah, it was lovely.- And you had a lovely expert to look after you.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- We did. She's smashing, yeah. - Which is your favourite piece, Val?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- The glass.- The glass is your favourite. What about you, John?
0:19:41 > 0:19:46- I like the glass too.- You like the glass, yeah. Which piece is going to make the biggest profit?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- I think it might be the dogs.- The dogs. All gone to the dogs. John?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- I'll put my confidence in the glass. - OK, sticking with the glass.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55You spent £110, which is not a lot of money.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59I'd like £190 of leftover lolly to give straight to Anita.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01So were they as good as they look?
0:20:01 > 0:20:06They absolutely wonderful. I had a wonderful time working with them.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10They are the best of friends,
0:20:10 > 0:20:15and I've got my eye on something that will celebrate good friendship.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Oh, Lord, sounds alcoholic to me.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20You'd better go off and get it, Anita.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22And very, very good luck.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:20:25 > 0:20:31Nick and Sal sniffed out a bargain in this Victorian scent bottle.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Take one of these with a glass of water and you'll be fine.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36£70 for the pill press.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40And finally, some impressive bartering
0:20:40 > 0:20:44saw £60 knocked off this tortoiseshell purse.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- So, Nick and Sal, did you have a great time?- Yeah, great.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50It was a bit of a whirlwind.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Certainly was a nail-biter at the end, I'd say.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Anyway, you did extremely well. Which is your favourite piece, Sal?
0:20:57 > 0:21:02- Definitely the Victorian purse. - The purse is your favourite. What about, Nick?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05I think the 19th-century pill press.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Pill press.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Good. Which is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- I hope the purse, actually.- OK. - I'm sticking with the pill press.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Ah, you're determined, you two.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19Anyway, you spent a magnificent £235 eventually. £65 of leftover lolly.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Thank you very much. Goes straight to Catherine.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25So quite an exhausting day for you, Catherine, I'd say.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Um, it was quite hard work. They're absolutely delightful, though.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- They're a nice team and we worked well, I think.- Good.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- So I'm going to buy them something pretty and functional.- Are you?
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Mmm. Because we've got... She wants pretty and he wants functional.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42All right, fine. Well, well done with that, anyway.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46For me, I'm heading off somewhere amazing!
0:21:48 > 0:21:54Here in the grounds of Leeds Castle lies a fiendish puzzle.
0:21:54 > 0:22:00It's state-of-the-art, it's fully interactive and it's got some interesting 3D effects.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09'Mazes are part of the Renaissance garden tradition,
0:22:09 > 0:22:13'often created by wealthy people for their own enjoyment.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18'The aim of the puzzle is to find a route to the centre, where a surprise often lies in store.'
0:22:18 > 0:22:24Ah-ha! Once you get to the centre of this maze, there's only one way out,
0:22:24 > 0:22:30and that's underground in a world that's bizarre and supernatural.
0:22:30 > 0:22:37'Wa-ha-hah! Buried underneath the Leeds Castle maze is a very unusual grotto built in 1988.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40'The first grottos were simply small caves near water
0:22:40 > 0:22:43'that would have been used by our prehistoric ancestors.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47'Most grottos in this country are based on ancient Roman and Greek designs
0:22:47 > 0:22:50'that date back thousands of years.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55They were generally built by aristocrats, intent on giving their guests a really good scare
0:22:55 > 0:23:00'before enjoying a nice glass of Chardonnay.'
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Crikey, Moses!
0:23:01 > 0:23:07Look at this - a chamber entirely dominated by a mask of Typhon
0:23:07 > 0:23:10which, according to Greek mythology,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13was a hideous hundred-headed beast
0:23:13 > 0:23:19that gave battle with Zeus and was ultimately buried under Mount Etna.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24And it's supposed to represent the fire within the volcano.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28On the opposite wall, in four niches, we've got the four elements -
0:23:28 > 0:23:30earth, wind,
0:23:30 > 0:23:32fire and water.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35The figure of water is facing away from us
0:23:35 > 0:23:41and composed of a series of minerals, shells and crystals.
0:23:41 > 0:23:49On the ceiling, literally thousands of different-coloured pebbles and shells, arranged in coffers
0:23:49 > 0:23:54filled with a black and white swans, which are the motifs, if you like,
0:23:54 > 0:23:58of Leeds Castle - the real black and white swans swimming around in the moat.
0:24:05 > 0:24:13And down here, a smaller chamber, but extraordinary sights to be seen.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14Look through this grille.
0:24:14 > 0:24:21Inside here, we've got a shell-encrusted figure of the Phoenix,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23representing hope,
0:24:23 > 0:24:30representing resurrection after the fire, the phoenix rising from the ashes.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34On the opposite wall, there's a representation of a woman in white stone.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Well, she looks a bit like a woman, doesn't she?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Depending on how you look at her, though,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43she's got one leg cocked up in the sky.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46From hereon in, it goes really weird.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Have you ever seen anything like this?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Molten bricks being spewed out of the wall,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01oddball animals made of mosaic.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Here we've got a deer that's upside down, and even a little
0:25:05 > 0:25:10bird hanging onto a branch, but the branch is the wrong way up.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15These are supposed to represent roots from trees growing down into the cavern,
0:25:15 > 0:25:20and I think probably the most extraordinary and hideous thing
0:25:20 > 0:25:22to find is the pillar,
0:25:22 > 0:25:29a swirling serpent made up of encrusted pebbles and stones and minerals.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34Oh, I don't know. I think it's time for us to return to the more familiar world
0:25:34 > 0:25:37of the auction house, thank God!
0:25:47 > 0:25:54Well, we've popped in to central London, to Chiswick Auctions, to be with our auctioneer, William Rouse.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Pleasure to have to here, Tim. - Lovely to be here, too.
0:25:57 > 0:26:03Now, Val and John for the Reds, their first item is these two little figurines.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05What do you make of those woofers, then?
0:26:05 > 0:26:10I think they're rather nice. They're not very old, not silver, but they're very collectable.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14People like dogs, so they've got a good chance of selling quite easily.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Oh, good. How much?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- I think I ended up putting £50-£80 on them.- Did you?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Have you had a mental aberration?!
0:26:22 > 0:26:24No, seriously, they paid £20.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- If you think they're going to £40, £50, £60... - I think they should make 40.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Fantastic. They could double their money. That is exciting.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Next is the umbrella pencil case, which is a charming little collectable, isn't it?
0:26:36 > 0:26:42It is. Whether it was originally designed for pencils, I don't know. It probably was. Yeah, it's fun.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46And do you think it's one of those sort of German or French bits of tourist ware, really?
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- Something that you would bought on your holidays.- I suppose it must be.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55- What's it worth?- I think again the estimate on that is about £50.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00It is. Well, they paid 70, so he gives with one hand and he takes away with the other.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Maybe. And lastly is this...
0:27:03 > 0:27:07I think they called it a candle-holder but it's not really a candle-holder.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12No, it's a goblet, but not one you'd drink out of. I think it's for putting on the mantelpiece.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- Yes. It was made by a drunken glass-maker. - At the end of the day, do you think?
0:27:16 > 0:27:21At the end of the day. He'd had one or two glasses of Rioja, I suspect, and that was the end product.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24It's a pretty ghastly-looking thing, isn't it?
0:27:24 > 0:27:25It isn't very nice.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30No. So you have to have a bit of a guesstimate on that one. What do you think it might make?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32- 20-30.- £20-£30.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Well, they paid £20 for it, so that's about spot on.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40- Overall, though, promising, particularly with the dog department?- I think so.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43But just in case, let's have a look at the Bonus Buy, and here it comes.
0:27:43 > 0:27:48Now, Val and John, you spent £110, you gave Anita Manning £190.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Anita, did you spend the lot?
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- No, I didn't.- Oh.- I was a wee bit careful with my money.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- I ALWAYS am. - Funny you should say that!
0:27:57 > 0:28:03Are you going to show us what you bought, then, or are you just going to tease us?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Ahh...- It's a pin cushion.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11It would've been made by a soldier or sailor in Victorian times.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16During the long hours of inactivity waiting for a battle,
0:28:16 > 0:28:20they would do these... what we'd call trench art.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24And there's always a little bit of text in it.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27On this one, we have "Think of me",
0:28:27 > 0:28:33which is a wee bit sort of sad, I think. I paid £55 for it.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- What do you think? - Well, which war do you think it was done in? What date would that be?
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Possibly First World War.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43Right. That makes it more interesting, I think.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Is there a profit in it, do we think?
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Well, I think... I would estimate it perhaps...
0:28:49 > 0:28:55round about 45 to 65, so there is a chance of a profit there.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57It's not going to fly.
0:28:57 > 0:29:02There is a certain price for this type of thing, but we could make £5 or £10.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Just a question of pinning a profit down, isn't it?
0:29:05 > 0:29:10On that happy note, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's pin cushion.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14So, William, something sickly and sentimental for you.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16- What do you think about that? - It certainly is.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20I can't say I like it, but the good thing is that, particularly
0:29:20 > 0:29:24with items of this nature, they tend to fall apart quite quickly, and it is broadly intact.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27And you can read the poem so that's a good thing.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32Yes, and representing, I suppose, the purest form of Victorian lurve.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Absolutely.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39Well, I don't think either of us particularly "lurve" it, but what's it worth?
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- £50?- 50? Is it really? - I should've thought so.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Anita Manning, who is easily swayed on the romantic side of things, paid £55 for it,
0:29:47 > 0:29:50- so she might make a profit? - Certainly the right money.
0:29:50 > 0:29:55Well, it's the Bonus Buy and they may never even select it, but that's interesting. Thank you, William.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues, Nick and Sally.
0:29:59 > 0:30:05Their first item is this little scent bottle. Desirable, I guess, because it's cranberry.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10Yeah, that's certainly a good thing, and the bottle is intact, but it has suffered a little bit of a bash.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14As is so often the case with these things, it's, I think, been dropped at some point
0:30:14 > 0:30:19and, although it hasn't been dropped on the glass end, it's been dropped on the silver end.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23And that's a bit squashed as a result, yes, which is a shame.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Interesting to see what it looked like when it was cleaned up.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- Hmm. Saleable?- Yeah, well, they're collectable.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- They're good for a sort of little vitrine.- How much do you think?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35I think I've put sort of around £50-£80 on it.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39£65 paid, so that sits pretty comfortably in the estimate, anyway.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43Next up is this rather wacky pill-making machine.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Not a lot of call for this in West London, I'd say.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Not the most practical thing in the world. I have seen them before, and
0:30:49 > 0:30:53I'm not sure that they ever create a frenzy of bidding, to be frank with you.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57It's a pity cos it looks as if it's got the age and the patination.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58It's nicely made and everything.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00If anyone could think of a use in the kitchen...
0:31:00 > 0:31:05It wants to be a chopping board for you to put your Gruyere on or something like that.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10If anyone could think of a practical reason to have it somewhere in your house, it might do quite well.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14That's the thing, but the estimate of £40-£60 is probably reflecting
0:31:14 > 0:31:17the fact that we think it's not going to go crazy.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22£40-£60. We're going to have to keep taking the tablets, I think, cos they paid £70.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- Ah. Gosh.- Yes. Still, there we go.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Next is the tortoiseshell purse,
0:31:27 > 0:31:30which is a nice-quality little thing.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32It's a nice thing. It's seen a bit of life as well.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36It's a bit tired on the outside, it's a bit tired on the inside,
0:31:36 > 0:31:39but they again are quite collectable things.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- What do you call that nice gold inlay again?- Piquet.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Piquet. There we go. Well, how much, then...?
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Again, about £50, I think. - Gosh. £100 they paid.
0:31:48 > 0:31:54- Well, I think 50-80 is our estimate, so with a fair wind...- Going to be a bit tight, though, isn't it?
0:31:54 > 0:31:59I think, in fairness, they're going to need their Bonus Buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02So, Sally and Nick, you've spent £235 -
0:32:02 > 0:32:06that's what I call a proper amount of money - leaving Catherine only £65.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- What did Catherine buy? - Are you ready?
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- Da-da!- Ooh.- Ah.- Ah.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Now, you wanted something pretty, you wanted something functional.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20I combined the two and I got us a functional beaker. A WMF beaker.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- It's very pretty, Art Nouveau.- Yes.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Now, I remember we were looking at WMF when we were walking around
0:32:27 > 0:32:30but we didn't quite find what we were looking for.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34- That's right.- Has it got a mark? - Yes, it is stamped. There we are. It is tarnished, it is worn.
0:32:34 > 0:32:39I mean, in perfect condition, I think we could do quite well with this. I paid £32 for it.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42- Oh.- Which is actually not bad.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44So how much can you see it getting at auction?
0:32:44 > 0:32:48I would hope this would make about £40, £50.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53- £10 or £15 predicted, anyway. - I would hope so, Tim, yes. - Hold that thought, OK?
0:32:53 > 0:32:58For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's little beaker.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03Well, William, the old adage "only buy things in good condition" does not apply with this object, does it?
0:33:03 > 0:33:05It's not great.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07It's effectively worn out, isn't it?
0:33:07 > 0:33:10It is. The decoration once upon a time was quite nice.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15Well, it's still quite nice to some extent, but it is well and truly dented, missing its plate.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- If it was cheap enough, maybe we'll sell it.- £32 Catherine spent on it.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Is she going to make a profit?
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Well, we put 20-30 on it.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- There you go. And you might sell that for a £5 note.- It's possible.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29I mean, who is going to want it?
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- Well, somebody might want to re-plate it, I guess.- Yes. Well, thank you, William.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Are you doing the necessary on the rostrum?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37- I am.- Ah, we're in safe hands.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47So, Val and John, here we are on the edge of the auction.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49How are you feeling, Val?
0:33:49 > 0:33:50- Excited.- Are you?- Oh, yes.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- How excited?- Very!- Are you?
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- It's my first auction.- You've never been to an auction before? - Never been to an auction before.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- Good Lord! Yet another virgin. This is lovely.- I wouldn't say that.
0:34:00 > 0:34:05- What about you, John? Are you a virgin? - No, not at auctions, I'm not.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Or any other way, really.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11- You've been thoroughly deflowered, have you?- Yes, I have. - OK. Well, there we go.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16Anyway, the first lot up are the dog figurines, John, and here they come.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20OK, lot 50A is the white metal model of a Boston terrier
0:34:20 > 0:34:22and another one of a pointer.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Two in the lot here, 50A.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27What's the worth? £20 for it, please.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Surely for 20?
0:34:29 > 0:34:31OK, start me for 10, then, for the two of them.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33£10 for the two...
0:34:33 > 0:34:3610 I'm bid, a maiden bid at £10. At £10, £12...
0:34:36 > 0:34:3914, 16, 18...
0:34:39 > 0:34:40£18 here. At £18.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42They seem cheap for 18.
0:34:42 > 0:34:48At £18, anybody else want to come in? At £18, then. 18. They go then at 18.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50- Oh, dear.- Ohh!
0:34:50 > 0:34:53£18. Well, I'm afraid that prediction wasn't much good.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Minus £2 on that. Look out.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57Next up is the umbrella.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01What's the lot worth? £20 for it, please. Surely for 20.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03All right, start me for 10, then.
0:35:03 > 0:35:0610 I'm bid. Down here at £10. Anybody else want to come in.
0:35:06 > 0:35:0712, thank you.
0:35:07 > 0:35:1014, 16, 18,
0:35:10 > 0:35:1420, 22...
0:35:14 > 0:35:16£22 nearer to me. At 22, anybody else?
0:35:16 > 0:35:19At £22. That's all it is, at 22...
0:35:19 > 0:35:23The little case for £22. £22, then.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- Oh, dear!- Dear, oh dear, oh dear.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29That's 8 short of 30.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Minus 48 on that.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Really! For £22, that lovely little case.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Anyway, don't despair. Here comes the goblet.
0:35:39 > 0:35:44Lot 52A is a blue modern-art glass goblet. Lot 52A.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Well, I've got a bid of commission interest in this lot, 52A,
0:35:47 > 0:35:49and I can start the bidding at £24.
0:35:49 > 0:35:5324 with me. At 24, 26, 28...
0:35:53 > 0:35:5628 with me, on commission at £28.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Anybody else want to come in in the room?
0:35:58 > 0:36:0128 it's selling for, then. £28.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03- Well done!- Thank you.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Super. It still makes you minus £42.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09What are you going to do about the sweetheart?
0:36:09 > 0:36:13- Well, I think we're going with it, aren't we?- Well, I think we are.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16We thought, if we were down, we'd go for the little heart.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Well, we are down, I'm afraid to tell you.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Yes, we're definitely down, so we're going to give it a go, Anita.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27You're going with the Bonus Buy, the sweetheart cushion and here it comes.
0:36:27 > 0:36:32Bit of fun, this. "Think of me" on it. There we go. What's it worth?
0:36:32 > 0:36:34£30 for it? Must be worth 30.
0:36:34 > 0:36:3730 I'm bid. Straight in at £30.
0:36:37 > 0:36:4535 behind you, 40...45, 50, 55, 60...
0:36:45 > 0:36:4965, 70, 75...
0:36:49 > 0:36:54£75. At £75, 80 anywhere else? For £75, anybody else want to come in?
0:36:54 > 0:36:5875 it is, then. At 75...
0:36:58 > 0:37:03Well done, Anita. You are plus £20 on your sweetheart cushion.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Well, that's amazing. Plus £20. That's brilliant.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- We did the right thing. - Thank goodness you did.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Which takes you to only minus £22.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Now, minus 22 could be a winning score. Don't tell the Blues a thing.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17- Won't tell the Blues.- Mum's the word. - Mum's the word.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- Not a sausage.- Not a sausage.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Hi, guys.- Hi.- Excited?
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- Yes.- Yeah, very. - Do you know how the Reds got on?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- No idea. - No, we don't want you to either.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- So how do you feel you're going to get on today, Sal?- Um...
0:37:38 > 0:37:39So-so.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42No, I think one of your things is going to do really well.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Which bit's going to do well?
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- I think the little purse might do well.- The tortoiseshell purse?
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- Yeah.- Well, it is beautifully made, that purse, isn't it?
0:37:51 > 0:37:54With any luck. You know, this is a London audience.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57They like these more sophisticated little pieces to go into vitrines.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00You might be lucky. So I've got my legs crossed for you.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- I've got everything crossed. - Everything? Good.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08And, if all else fails, you can always fall back on the Art Nouveau beaker.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Ah! First up, though, is the perfume bottle, and here it comes.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Lot 72A, the cranberry scent bottle. There we go.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17What's it worth? £20 to start me for the bottle.
0:38:17 > 0:38:1920 I'm bid.
0:38:19 > 0:38:2322, 24, 26, 28,
0:38:23 > 0:38:2530, fresh bidder.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Do you want 32? 34.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32£34 for the...number raised.
0:38:32 > 0:38:3534, 36 straight in front of me.
0:38:35 > 0:38:4038, 40, 45, 50.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42£50 nearer to me. At 50.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44At £50, the little scent bottle.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47At £50, anybody else? £50 it's going, then.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49For £50, all done? 50.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51£50. Cheap enough.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53£50. That's minus £15.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Now, the pill-making machine.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Let's start me for £10.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Who wants it for £10? 10 I'm bid, straight in.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01£12 in front of you.
0:39:01 > 0:39:0714, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28,
0:39:07 > 0:39:1030, 32...
0:39:10 > 0:39:13£32. Nearer to me, at £32.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15In the blue, at 32. Anybody else.
0:39:15 > 0:39:20£32 for the pill machine. At 32. The hammer's coming down for 32, then.
0:39:20 > 0:39:2332 is eight shy of 40. That's minus £38.
0:39:23 > 0:39:2638, 48, you're minus 53 overall.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30So your tortoiseshell has got to do really rather well, hasn't it?
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- How do you feel about that? - Shall we just run away now?
0:39:33 > 0:39:39Lot 74A is this little pink purse, 74A.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41And I've got some interest in this too.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43I'm straight in at £50.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46A little pink purse at £50?
0:39:46 > 0:39:50£50 with me. 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80...
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Still with me at £80.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55At £80 for the purse.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Fresh bidding, 85. 90...
0:39:57 > 0:40:0295, 100... It's £100. With me at £100, this little purse at £100.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Anybody else want to come in?
0:40:04 > 0:40:08£100 for the purse, then.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09It sells for 100, then.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Well done, darling. £100.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13- You wiped your face. - I wiped my face!
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Just like you said, you'd wipe your face.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20But sadly, overall, you are minus £53.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Now, that could be a winning score, cos you don't know how the Reds got on.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27It could be a winning score. What are you going to do about the Bonus Buy?
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Are you going to go with that beaker? What do you want to do?
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- It's quite worn and I just worry about whether...- Are you...?
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Well, I like it. But I'm just a bit worried about...
0:40:36 > 0:40:38The condition of the thing.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Yeah, and I don't know that they're going to go for it.
0:40:41 > 0:40:46- They're all keeping their hands down.- Shall we say no? - OK.- It's your decision.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48- It's your decision. - We'll leave it, then.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52- Leave it this time. No offence. - We'll cut our losses, yeah.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Right, you're parking it, then. Not going with the Bonus Buy.
0:40:55 > 0:41:00- Here comes the beaker. - A WMF beaker, lot 77A.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02There we go. Is it worth £10?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04£10 for the WMF? Surely for £10?
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Anybody want this lot for £10?
0:41:07 > 0:41:09£5, then, surely? WMF.
0:41:09 > 0:41:115 I'm bid here. Do you want 6, sir?
0:41:11 > 0:41:146, 7, 8...
0:41:14 > 0:41:18£8 with the gentleman. 9, 10...
0:41:18 > 0:41:22£10 there. At £10, anybody else, at £10?
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- Oh, dear.- £10. Nobody else? £10.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- The hammer's coming down for 10. - Well done, team.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29You did the right thing there.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Minus £22 you would've been had you gone for it,
0:41:32 > 0:41:34but you parked it, anyway.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39- So, overall, it's minus £53, OK? - Could be worse.- Which is not too bad. It could've been a lot worse.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44And who knows? That could be the winning score. Don't tell the Reds a thing.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Well, we have had better days for profits, I tell you,
0:41:52 > 0:41:54than today's exercise.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57- Anyway, have you teams been chatting?- No.
0:41:57 > 0:42:02- We have no idea. - Well, it's my role now to reveal the scale of the losses,
0:42:02 > 0:42:05and the runners-up today are, I'm afraid, the Blues.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08THEY GASP
0:42:08 > 0:42:13Minus £53 is what it's all about, but you did get one wiped face,
